Senior Class History In Georgetown, in the year of 1908, the present Senior Class began its career along educational lines. There are at present but five, Mary Taylor, Dorothy Clift, Olive Snapp, Harold Morris and Clifford Hutiley, of that class of fifty-four that have survived the hardships and strenuous toil of school life. Several have gradually dropped behind, one, two and even three years, while others have stopped the struggle altogether. In 1916, when our class entered High School, we numbered forty-seven. Twenty-three of that number had joined the class of 1908 in some of the eight grades of the public school. The remaining number were from other parts of the township. Altogether we had a class of which we were exceedingly proud and a class which was gladly welcomed into High School. We made friends easily and gave promise in the start of being the class of hustlers.” This name we have carried all through school. Our interest in athletics and social affairs began in the cradle. In our first year we had representatives in Basketball and Football. Who has not heard of “Fat” and Otto? They have helped to make Georgetown High School’s tecord one to he remembered. We also had a splendid representation in the operetta, “Polished Pebbles” and in the Semi-chorus. Our grades have always been of high standard. In our Freshman year Ray Black headed the honor roll with an average every month of ninety-five or more. The rest of the class studied “like sixty” to try to “keep up” and were puffed with pride to think that we could boast of such a wise class-mate. Marie Sandusky joined us in our Junior year. It was in this year that we planned for our fun. We were proud of our boys in Basketball, Football and track and a goodly number of Jolly Juniors” could be found at every event. Ob! what a showing Buck” Hunley made at track events, and Omer and Harold (two quite worthy lads) had been added to the Football team. We had a number in the annual operetta In Fair Hawaii,” for Mr. Stronks found that our assistance was as necessary as in the preceeding year when we were invaluable in The Isle of Chance.” We did not once forget the main event of the Junior year—our play. Our president, Delbert Morris, appointed a committee who, with the assistance of our coach, Miss Burns, selected “A Kentucky Belle.” The following cast was selected: Miss Mariah Douglas........................................Olive Snapp Isabel Douglas.............................................Mable Moses Marie Van Harlenger.........................................Reba Moore Col. Wm. McMillen.................................Ernest Paxton Dr. Blake.......................................Clifford Hunley Miss Madden................................Charlotte Livingston John Cason Gordan....................................Ray Black Mrs. Gordon....................................Trilla Thornton Miss Gordon.......................................Bessie Jenkins Cindy............................................Dorothy Clift Henry...............................................Delbert Morris Four telephone linemen...........................Otto Unverferth Harold Morris Lee Satterfield mer Richardson Chorus—(ilennia Lyons, Ruby Smith, Mary Haworth, 11a Carney, Alma Sprouls, Ralph Davenport, Harry Lenhart. Our work to make our play as nearly perfect as possible received it reward. The praise that we received and which we believe was meant, made us feel that we had Georgetown hack of us urging us on in our work of various kinds. 1 he success of our plav was undoubtedly due to the splendid coaching of Miss Burns, and to her we feel deeply indebted. Another principal event of the Junior year was our banquet. Our High School had increased to such an extent that it was advisable to have only a Junior-Senior banquet instead of a banquet for the entire school. We disliked to change a custom which had been observed the last four or five years, but we knew7 that the under-classmen were by no means so inferior that they could not realize the wisdom of such an act. We gave the best banquet ever given in Georgetown for any occasion. Thfc five course dinner and decorations were of the best and the entertainment was splendid. Senior—When we returned to the familiar High School building this year, we could scarcely realize that we were Seniors and in danger of being considered dignified. Can there be any word worse than dignified?” We rather doubt it. Flossie Brooks and Elsie Bouton had joined our class, but we sadly missed Pauline Clipson and Ray Black. We were delighted, however, to find that our girls had blossomed into young ladies, who were, by far the prettiest in the school. I'he second W’eek of school we held a class-meeting for the purpose of selecting class rings. A few days later we elected staff officers for our Annual. Each editor accepted his office with a silent, yet apparent, determination to succeed. As soon as our class was settled we arranged for a party which w7as held at the home of Dorothy Clift on October z, 1919. So splendidly did we behave that Miss Murray, our Shorthand and Typewriting instructor, gave 11s a special invitation to her home in Danville. October 18. Needless to say, we cnjo ed ourselves immensely. Our success in football may largely be due to our Senior boys for Lee and Ernest had been added to our splendid team. As all know, we had every right to be proud of them. As we near the end of our High School life we realize, more than ever before, what school life has really meant and how much the people and especially the tax-pavers, represented by the Board of Education, have helped us to prepare for the life which is to follow. We wish to thank them for their help and to encourage them to help other classes by boosting their athletics, plays, operettas and various other activities. ()ur teachers have endeavored to help us to become splendid men and women and we hope to be able to follow the example which they have set before us.

Out of the many thousands whom Georgetown has fathered this man is the greatest. To be brief Mr. Hunley has become King of the Hoboes. He is in direct control of those migratory thousands of “Wandering Willies” in America. Mr. Hunley was coronated on the first of June but has just made the event public. His many friends feel that the Hoboes have made a wise selection and will have a ruler after their own heart.

Junior Class History W e, tlie members of the Junior C lass of 21 look on an inspiring future from a memorable past. I be times that we had when we were Freshmen and Sophomores cannot be compared with the thrills we are having in our Junior year. L j)on our entering in school we bad twenty-seven members in our class. It was, fortunately, made up of a majority of boys and when we had parties there was certainly not any boys lacking or for that matter, girls. The upper class-men were very liberal and they did all they could to help us out of our difficult}'. )ur first party was a joint business and social meeting and everyone came and bad a good time. We, also, had a party at the High School Gym, inviting the rest of the school. 1 be evening was spent in contests and various other amusements. Our first year of athletics was not very successful but we were lucky enough to have one letter man on the football team. When our second term began there were some additions to our class and also were unfortunate as to lose several members. Thus handicapped we went thru the second year. We had a George Washington party at the home of Harold Richie. e enjoyed ourselves so much that no one became aware of the fact that vagrants ran away with part of our eats. W e also bad a party at the High School Gym, inviting the Freshmen. 1 he evening was spent with music and games. Besides our social activities we did what we could for athletics. We bad three letter men on the football team, one in basketball and two in track. Our boys put forth their best efforts to put G. H. S. to the front and did more than expected. The spirit shown in athletics was put forth in the schoolroom as well, and our grades show that fact for the year. Upon our entering the third year we had nineteen in our class. Officers elected during the first semester were as follows: Willie Bubnis, president; Henry Unverferth, vice-president; Mary Clark, secretary and treasurer. Our first party was at the home of Mary Clark. Everyone brought a guest and we had a good time despite the disagreeable weather. The evening was spent in games and contests. There being a majority of boys in this class, we have done much in athletics this year. We have five letter men on the football team and one in basketball. I hose not on the field, were on the sidelines giving the boys “pep” to win over their opponents. Immediately on commencing the term we began to select our junior play. Our class bad dwindled down to nineteen and from these faithful few we are making our choice of a cast for a Junior play which we feel sure will surpass anything that has gone before. We will close our Junior year with the annual Junior-Senior banquet trusting the Seniors will not think our work has been in vain.

For those who love fun Are certainly not few. Our Sophomore colors Are Blue and Gold. And Shack is our president, As you've probably been told. For he is as popular As any in school; And in football and track He is certainly a jewel. In basket and football, Others are note-worthy, too, Who are loyal upholders Of the Gold and the Blue. But the girls of our class Are as good as the hoys. And all count “Gym” As one of their joys. Many stars in basketball Is a part of our record, And the High School team Is greatly indebted To the Sophomore girls For much pep and vim, And the fine attendance In the class in “Gym.” So now in conclusion We’ll surely have luck, For our two great titles Are “Honor” and “Pluck.” Lois Satterfield, ’22. •,. Sir, Three. Sophomore Class History We were sitting around a glowing camp tire, that glorious July evening. I had gazed into the bright flames SO long that visions began to appear again and again in them. Ah! 1 have it! I was again living over the scenes during our Sophomore life. It is the opening day of school. There is a group of young people entering the assembly with a confident air. It is they, who tease those verdant youngsters, direct them to the front seats, (while they appropriate the back ones) and boss” in general. Of course they are labeled Sophomores” and their Freshman days are not so far distant, but that they can remember their chagrin, when they endured this day. Well! Well! What’s this? Oh! To be sure! A party composed entirely of Sophomores. Now anyone who is acquainted with the Sophomores, knows that they always enjoy themselves. Here is another larger assembly of people. Such fantastic costumes and creations as they do wear! Here and there a pair of Sophomore eyes peep out from a mask, or a Sophomore will cause hilarious laughter in a group. As usual we are doing our part towards making the High School Annual Hallowe’en party a success. The scene shifts. Purple and white banners float everywhere, crowds shout, bands play, and with an upraised hand for silence we hear numbers being called in an excited voice. We are on the dear old Athletic field of G. T. H. S. No need to question us, for we have our representatives on the football field and track meet, as well as in everything else. The number of rooters is increased by the loyalty of the Sophomore girls. We are not afraid to raise our voices, and often in the basketball gymnasium the Sophomores compete with the Senior girls, always with an excellent showing. When the Georgetown paper is issued weekly, everyone looks to the G. T. 11. S. notes. What class heads the honor roll? No need to answer because the record is always the same. The Sophomores! As we gazed into the fire, it slowly burned out, and as the last ember changed into an ash, we heaved a sigh for the year so joyously passed and we wended our wav homeward. Eulam R. Morris.

Next that befell us was the hazing stunt, They got all the boys from the biggest to the runt, They cut our hair, gave us a midnight ride Well, we walked back in bona tide. W e like our studies and teachers too. Yet getting low grades is nothing new, We study and work, yes, study like sin, But by constant effort we are sure to win. In athletics (i. H. S. has won great fame. And we intend to help her keep that glorious name, We already have boys on the football team, And by the time we’re Seniors, well show we’re not green. Orville Snapp, Freshman Class History Early in the fall of the year igi i a class of youngsters, numbering about forty, started in the primary grade with Miss Madden as teacher. As the years went by we passed from grade to grade, losing some of our members and gaining others. When we reached the eighth grade some of us were about to despair, but by hard work we managed to get through one of the most difficult periods of our school life. Of the class that started in the primary in 1911 only about ten graduated from the eighth grade in 1919. The next fall we entered into a school life entirely different to our previous one. Some of the upper classmen evidently disapproved of the addition to their school, if we can judge by the way some of our members were greeted, but that all goes with High School life. The class enrollment is thirty-five. Fifteen of 11s are midyear freshmen. George Moses is our president. Robert Snapp, vice-president; Doris Black, secretary; Ruth Malone, treasurer, and Belva Moore, chairman of the social committee. Other members of the social committee are Helen Ashby, Emma Mills, Faye Hughes, Dale Bratton, Edward McMahon, and Ray Whittaker. Soon after entering we were invited to a High School roast, where we were entertained in the usual way. Later we had a roast of our own. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we decided to have a party. We had the party on Emma Mill s lawn. Everyone enjoyed the evening. We all took part in the High School Halloween party which proved to be a great success. Three of our bovs went out for football and show promises for next year, also we have several out for basketball. The girls in our class also have a brilliant future in basketball. Several class members showed their dramatic ability in the operetta and we were very proud of them. As to class standard, just notice the Georgetown News from week to week. We welcome our new Freshmen who are nine in number. We hope they will enjoy High School life as we do. e have great hopes for the future and when we are dignified Seniors our history will be the best ever. Doris Black. :G Physics Class The aim of our course in Physics is to place emphasis upon the things that are essential in understanding the application of the principles of physics to those things which are a part of our every-day experiences. In order that this may be done successfully with the discussion of every principle which is brought to the attention of the class, there is either a demonstration or an experiment for the purpose of verifying the principle. Accurate reasoning, clear thinking, careful observation and correct conclusions are the goals set for the course. If these are attained many erroneous ideas will be corrected and habits of investigation formed which will go far in enabling the student to arrive at right conclusions in the solution of many of the great problems of life. Manual Training The Manual Training department is hampered at the present time by lack of space and the absence of adequate machinery. However, plans are being considered for erecting a shop, outside of this building, which will be equipped so thoroughly that we shall be able to give a technical course equal to that of any High School in the state. The class, this year, consists of seventeen pupils. The work of the elementary students has been regulated according to an outline arranged so as to include projects illustrating the things of most difficult construction in cabinet work. The care and proper use of tools is also emphasized. The students of the advanced class are engaged in such projects as piano benches, library tables, and porch swings. One student is making a victrola. A few projects of original design have been worked out with excellent success. G Typewriting Class Rata tat tat, rata tat tat, is the song of the typewriter, the song of aching hacks and cramped fingers, of strained eyes and many errors. here is your lettered keyboard little typewriter? Where are the letters that our trained eyes sought and found, closely followed hy our fingers? But now, woe he unto me! 'File blank keys glisten their welcome and our practiced eye avails us nothing. But little by little and letter by letter, we builded up the art of touch and under the skillful guidance of Miss Murray, we have all become expert typewriter chauffeurs. Typewriting and shorthand were offered for the first time at the beginning of this year. Many responded, attracted by the typewriters, but when confronted with shorthand they fell by the wayside until now our class numbers twenty-one members. One period daily is devoted to this study during which we receive about a page of dictation, ten minutes of copy work and the rest of the time is taken up with exercises found in “Rational Typewriting. Ernest Paxton I his is tlie third year that Domestic Science has been taught in G. T. H. S. I he class is small in numbers, but we advertise the fact that cooking is our occupation. 1 he first semester was given over to the study and preparation of vegetables and the last semester to baking and menu planning. Many delectable odors steal upstairs, and the sensitive nostrils of the students quiver as they detect the smell of cake or pastry. 1 he girls have even been known to be cruel enough to open the door, in order to tantalize them. Domestic Science is not all cooking. 1 wo days a week we are taught the value of certain foods: the care of utensils; prevention of diseases; disinfecting and other knowledge, that all good house-keepers should know. Altogether it is a very valuable and instructive course that no one can afford to miss. The members are Maud Rucker, Ruby Smith, Eulah Morris, Louise Gorham, I’ lossie Brooks and Alma Sprouls.

The purpose is to stimulate interest in and to increase the appreciation of Science, to carry on certain lines of scientific work supplementary to the scientific course of the school. The activities of the Club have consisted of summer work of insect collection and classification. The exhibit of insect cases taking first, second and third prizes at the I. I. Fair. This school year we have had illustrated lectures on various subjects and special instruction in Astronomy. We have become members of the Illinois Academy of Science thereby enlarging our field of interest and activity. Operetta Cast, Windmills of Holland ATMLETiCS ff av (• '°V - Foot Ball Squad Line Up. G The Line Up Delbert Morris- (Caf t.)—Full Hack. Our opponents learned early in every game to respect “Fatty.” He was a good tackier and a hard runner. He always played his best. Cecii. Richards—Quarter Hack “Skinny” made up with nerve for his lack of weight. Whenever an eleventh hour tackle was needed, “Skinny” was there. Orville Macklin—Left Half. “Shack” was always a hard man to catch. He will be here next year. Otto Unverferth—Center— (M jr.) Otto was a veritable stone wall. He never found a line that be couldn’t break. Ernest Paxton—Right Guard Ernest wasted three years of bis foot ball chances but made up for lost time this year. Lee Satterfield—Left Guard Lee waited till bis last year to come out for the team but his playing would do credit to a veteran. Harold Morris—Left Tackle Harold seemed to have an infallible recipe for puncturing the line of the opposing team. He usually arranged to have bis opponent carried off the field. Donald Reid—Left End Flying tackles were his hobby. He was one of the best ends in the state. Omer Richardson—Right Tackle He didn’t say much but bis opponent usually had the appearance of a defeated pugilist. Henry Unverfertii—Right End Henry never missed a chance to make a tackle and bis chances were many. He also completed several forward passes at critical moments. Denzel Edmonds—Right Half Denzel learned to plunge the line this year and made good use of what lie learned. Clyde Richardson—Sub “Shorty” has an unusual amount of “fight” for such a small man. He will probably run the team next year. Edwin Hanson—Sub “Ed’s” bright prospects were cut short by injuries received in the first game. Charles Shoemaker—Sub Charles is fast. He outruns the big ones and the small ones can’t handle him. Harold Richie—Sub Harold spent two years plugging on the scrubs but won his letter this fall. The Season Georgetown’s prospects at the opening of school for a successful season were very encouraging. Eight “G” men were back to lay the foundation of a good team. New material was promising and a large number was ready to go on the field for the first evening of practice. Claud Bowen coached the football team. With his hard and strict coaching it was worked into shape and we won six games out of the eight played. Injuries played havoc with the team early in the season hut did not in the least discourage it. On September 27, the initial game was played at Chrisman. The game was played in a shower of rain causing fumbles on both sides. Chrisman being an inferior team lost the game. “Ed” Hanson wrenched his shoulder thus hindering him from participating in games until the close of the season. The following Saturday the team whipped Urbana 20 to o at Urbana. By their ferocious tackling and cleverly executed plays the local team broke up their opponents offence and defence. George Brown was put out of the rest of the games of the season on account of torn ligaments in the knee. Armstrong had a light team hut showed they had fight thruout the game. Oakland on the Saturday following gave the team a good game but were unable to penetrate the line of G. II. S. The game was won by good piloting of our Captain Morris. We rested two weeks, being unable to schedule games. Westville was our next opponent and was quite confident. The game however is being contested as to which team is victor on account of a touch-back and safety-decision of the referee. We claim one end of the score to be in our favor. At Danville the team had the best of it as they averaged ten pounds heavier. On the muddy field their line plunging gained two touchdowns in the first quarter by playing them off their feet hut did not overreach their score. The team journeyed to Villa Grove in machines. Villa Grove put up a hard fight but lost in an interesting game. On “Turkey” day, which was to decide the Wabash Valley Championship, Robinson came here in a special train with five hundred rooters to down G. H. S. Being handicapped by injured men, Robinson won the last game. This was the hardest fought game of the season. There was, however, no hard feeling between G’town and Robinson and they are now as true friends as they ever were. ’ Foot Ball Games 1919 September 27 G. H. S. 47 Chrisman O there October 4 G. 11.

TOURNAMENT. Illi. The Letter Girls Literary THE LITTLE DECEIVER Margaret Lawson was not in a very agreeable state of mind, and she was giving vent to her feelings before her most intimate friends, in her boudoir where they were gathered. “It will just upset all of my plans,” she declared. “Here it is—lacking only an hour before the guests are to arrive, and no proud southern beauty has shown her face. I even had brother Dick come home and bring one of his college chums to entertain her and be her escort to-night, and the dinner arrangements are made for them to be placed together, and the guests all know the ball is in her honor and , her light curly bead was buried in the pillows and further speech was choked off by sobs. “Oh, well! Just tell them the guest of ‘honah” was delayed and they’ll ‘un-dahsthand I m suali, was drawled out in a lazy southern fashion. Margaret s head flew up in a flash. Then seeing who it was she dropped it back in the pollows. )h, you sounded just like her, she said with a disappointed tone. “Say!” and this time when the face appeared it had a ray of hope on it. “I wonder if you couldn t play her part tonight. Not a soul that will be here ever saw you before, except the girls, and I can rely on you, can’t I girls?” Trust us,” was their answer. And no one knew I was going to bring a girl friend home with me, so there we arc all set and ready. Why it is an act of providence,” Margaret concluded looking around at her audience with a triumphant expression. “Why Margaret Lansing,” exclaimed Adele Harris, the girl who was going to be the goat, “you know I never could impersonate that girl, for one evening. Beside, if your mother were here 1 am sure she would dislike the idea, and what would your brother Dick say? He knows who I am.” Oh Dick will be so engrossed with Mayme he’ll never notice if I try to pass off Aunt Sally for Miss Caroline Marie Dickson,” and Margaret cast a sly glance at Mayme whose face was suffused with blushes. “Now come, Adele. Please do this for me and I’ll do anything you ever want me to. You can imitate lovely and no one will ever suspect you aren’t so white as you are painted.” No, Margaret, replied Adele firmly, your Aunt Sally won’t let you do it. Besides if any one should ask me if I belonged to the Dicksons of Richmond, or if I know of such and such a person, I should become so entangled and give such absurd answers that it would cast a reflection on you, as people would wonder where you became acquainted with such a creature.” “Listen to me,” was Margaret’s rejoinder. “Aunt Sally is always so flustrat-ed when she chaperones for me she’ll never suspect, and I’m sure you are bright enough to sidestep any such inquiries as your imagination conjectures. Girls, all help me in this pressing matter and make this impossible woman see our viewpoint.” Finally after a great deal of persuasion and a tear or two squeezed out by Margaret to help plead, Adele consented. To tell the truth about it she thought it would be a great lark, and when Margaret and Adele were together there was usually something doing. “By the way,” carelessly remarked Adele as she was powdering her nose and fluffing her hair, preparatory to making her debut, by the way, who is the young man that I’m to act pretty to tonight?” “Oh, lie’s some chum of Dick’s. His name is Chester Daniels, and from what I’ve seen of him he’s rather good looking. Ssh—I hear Aunt Sally’s silk rustling. She is coming up to meet you. Now, remember who you are,” cautioned Margaret. Adele made a grimace at her and barely had time to straighten up when Aunt Sally walked in with a very red face and puffing cheeks for the climb up the stairs was a great exertion to her. “My dear Margaret,” she panted, as she bestowed a kiss upon that young lady. “How very glad I am to see you. Is everything ready? Do I look correctly? See if all my hooks are fastened. I’m sure I felt one burst as I came up stairs.” “You’re all right, Aunt Sally, and I’m sure everything will be splendid; but I want you to meet my friend Miss Dickson,” turning to Adele, who had drawn her slight form up and had assumed as much dignity as she coidd command. “Chawmed, I’m suah,” said Adele, bowing towards Aunt Sally. Aunt Sally looked intently at beautiful Adele and seemed to approve of her for she advanced and kissed her saying, I’m always glad to meet a friend of my dear niece. Now girls, if you are ready, perhaps we had better go down. Dick and Mr. Daniels are in the drawing room and the guests will soon be arriving.” As they entered the drawing room, Margaret hurriedly introduced Adele to Mr. Chester Daniels as Miss Dickson. But I say, Marg,” interposed Dick, but was interrupted by a frown and wink from Margaret who drew him off to the corner and gave him a hasty synopsis of the chance. “Well, all I’ve got to say, sis,” thoughtfully said Dick, when she had finished, “I wish you joy, but I’ll bet you’ll wish yourself well out of it before you’re through. I’ll faithfully do my part. Look! They don’t seem to be getting on very well do they.” Margaret glanced at the two young people who were standing stiffly facing each other and occasionally saying a word. Margaret hurried to them. Come on Ade—er-r-Caroline. Let’s go get in line. I think the guests are arriving.” In a few moments the guests began to enter the rooms. They all were captivated with Miss Dickson’s southern charm. “What in the world was wrong with you and Mr. Daniels? Didn’t you like him?” inquired Margaret, during a lull in the receiving line. Oh, answered Adele, I think lie's quite conscious of his masculine beauty and expected me to admire his charm immediately : so I was very stiff—” ‘ ‘ I notice, broke in Margaret, as some late arrivals were seen approaching. Remember your Vs’.” Over in one corner Dick was putting the same question to Chester. Didn t the Southern Beauty strike your fancy old man?” Oh, I don t know. Never did care much for an heiress. They expect too much attention and she was about the stiffest one I ever ran across. There goes the music and 1 vc never filled out her dance score. Guess I’ll go perform that duty. So t hester obediently sauntered in the direction he had last seen “Miss Dickson. After pushing his body through a wall of men he saw her sitting in a large chair flushed and eagerly talking her drolling manner. By jove. he exclaimed to himself. She is a beauty, but I'll just teach her a lesson and show her. here’s one that is not going to fall.” .Alas, poor Chester! Those who fall farthest hit hardest. How many dances must I put myself down for?” lie inquired politely. Must, said Adele, with slightly elevated eyebrows, None at all if it is such a painful duty. I m ‘shuah 'othahs’ ‘ah' willin to dance with me if you almt and she flashed a bewildering smile around the assembly of men. Chester felt uncomfortably hot under his collar, and Adele was mentally saying “score number one.” Beg Pardon, Chester said, when he was able to articulate, May 1, does sound better, doesn't it?” Acs,” coolly replied Adele. and said not another word. Chester stood silent for a few minutes, then looked at her with an inquiring air. How many did you say?” I didn’t say, answered that austere young lady. Matters were becoming too complicated for Chester. He must get it over with so he took her score and scrawled him initials for the first and last, and at intervals in between—twelve in all. Adele looked at her score, then took the pencil and calmly marked out five “Seven is all for you tonight, Mr. Daniels, said Adele, with an acid smile relinquishing her card to an eager hand, held out for it by a young man. Adele danced and whirled away the evening actually delighted with the role she was playing. To be sure she was very silent when she danced with Mr. Daniels and as for that young man he forgot the lesson he was going to teach the young heiress. Then came the eighteenth dance and he was to dance with her. “Please, let's sit this one out. It is lovely under the stars and I have some things I wish to say to you,” pleaded Chester. Adele hesitated for a few moments. Then she relented and decided to go. Perhaps it would furnish her with a few moments amusement. They were soon sitting on the veranda, where the cool breeze made it delightful. There was silence for a few moments, then Chester blurted out—“1 know I have acted beastly this evening—and I think I should apologize—but I swore l never would like a social butterfly, especially an heiress, that didn’t have any brains—” be stopped aghast at what he had said. “Really?” he heard a cold, low voice say. Then if that’s the case, I think I had 'bettah' return to the drawing room.” Of course Chester couldn’t see the teasing smile that appeared on the girl's face. But he said, “Oh, my blasted tongue ran away with me. You might let me add to all those other statements—until I met you.” There was nothing except silence from the direction Adele was in. Then she stood before him. 1 bad bettah be returning. In the South young girls ahnt allowed to sit dances out with their partners especially if he doesn't like her. Before Chester could reply she had disappeared. “What a fool I am,” said Chester. Didn’t know she was such a girl. She surely gave me a knock in the ribs.” He returned to the drawing room and sauntered over to where be saw Dick and Margaret in earnest conversation. They did not notice Chester’s approach. He came up in time to hear Margaret say, “but Dick, what shall I do? I hurried her up stairs; but 1 told her before she came I was going to give a ball in honor of her, and she'll think it strange if I don’t bring ber down here.” Dick grinned. “Well sis, I told you you'd wish you were well out of it. Won’t Miss Adele laugh at you? You know she wasn’t crazy about playing the role of Miss Dickson.” “Oh Dick,” said Margaret, the tears filling her pretty eyes, you aren’t a bit kind,” and she turned to go. Of course she saw Chester standing there, a look of amazement on his face. Dick also saw him. “Say! Do you mean to tell me Miss Dickson isn't the Southern beauty at all?” “No she isn’t. Her name is Adele Harris, and she is a college chum of sis’,” replied Dick. Here! Where arc you going? Come back here and I'll explain,” called Dick as Chester walked rapidly off. You can explain later,” came back over Chester’s shoulder. Some one else is going to explain now. You'd better help your sister out of her difficulty. Chester soon discovered Miss Dickson dancing with one of her admirers and lie never took his eyes off her until the music stopped. Then he hurried over to her. Believe this next is my dance,” he said and hurried her away before the astonished man had time to protest that he was sure he had the next one engaged. Chester whirled Adele around in a waltz until they came opposite some French doors that were opened on the veranda. Before Adele could resist Chester had guided her out these doors and never released ber until there were at the same place they had been before. “Now I want an explanation,” sternly demanded Mr. Daniels. It is I who ‘desiah’ an explanation for being forced out ’bealv in this undignified ‘numnah’ ” as she drew herself up with hauteur. Oil 'teachah , 1 m so glad I can ‘pohnounce, my 'alls' ” mocked Chester while Adele stared at him in amazement. hy how—how—did—. she began, but was interrupted by Chester. Yes. How did I know you were a deceit and a fraud? I have an idea I shall announce to the guests what a deceiver vou are.” Oh, please, please don’t Mr. Daniels. I know I'm not an heiress and I treated you abominably, but don’t do that.” It was all Chester could do not to take her in his arms and assure her that all her fears were groundless; but he decided to have more revenge. Only on several conditions,” he replied. Name them, gasped Adele, relief and despair both struggling for mastery. ou will beg my pardon for all the cruel words you said to me” named Chester. I—heg your pardon for all the cruel words 1 said to you,” obediently repeated Adele. I hat you will give me the rest of the dances for this evening,” continued Chester. Yes,” assented Adele. You will promise to like me forever and ever.” “I suppose if I must, I can.” answered the girl. ‘‘Say 'yes’,” sternly ordered Chester. Yes,” said Adele, looking up with a smile. What are the others?” she inquired after a long silence. Chester said in a doubtful voice, I’ll have to whisper the last one to you.” All right,” replied Adele. So Chester stooped and brushing back the dark curls whispered to her. There was an ominous silence while the man’s face seemed to be pleading. A smile slowly spread over the girl’s face as she raised her eyes to his and spoke one word. 'I he man’s arms tightly closed around her and a merciful cloud slowly obscured the light of the moon.

Charles Shoemaker, ’21 A DAY DREAM As I sat before the tiny fire boiling some cofifee in an old can and munching a crust which I bad begged at a sheep-ranch a few miles back, I thought of my past and what I was now. I had been a man of means and bad bad everything I wished, but a man I considered a friend proved unfaithul and I lost everything which accounts for my being a tramp; an outcast of all society, in a strange country, a penniless, ragged, wretched creature, turned out by all but those who, begrudgingly gave me a little food and then bade me begone or they would loan me some shot. I had built my fire near the edge of a large tropical forest because the sun was very hot. 1'bis forest surrounded a large diamond mine on the sides. This mine was very well guarded, as were the others I knew of. About three-quarters of a mile from the mines, situated on a knoll, settled in the shade of the forest, was the Dutch settlement wherein lived the Dutch miners and the mine owners. 1 he town stood directly in one of the two passageways from the mine and directly at the other passageway stood a native settlement. As I sat dreaming of home and how glad I would be just to see a face from the States, a thought came to me—why not get some money at this mine, fair or unfair, make a getaway to the coast, lay low till the excitement died down, then catch a merchant boat for the States. With this thought in my head I determined to get into the town at dusk and get into the mine territory while the night and day guards were changing. I smothered the fire and crept through the forest around the outskirts of the town toward the mine, all the while mapping the country in my mind to help me if I got into a pinch. I managed to slip through the gates behind the night guard, who was talking with an officer not far away. I crept slowly to the back of a low square building, which I took to be an office, and which was, and looking through an open window, (the night being warm), I could see but one clerk, who was heavily armed, weighing small pouches in which I supposed were diamonds in the rough. He laid them aside and started counting paper money. I could think of no way to get the money but kill the clerk, which I did not like to do, and as 1 had no weapon which would kill him instantly he would be sure to make a noise. Picking up a small drainage pipe, I crept noiselessly through the window into the room. Just as 1 got to bis desk be heard me and turned, at the same time drawing a gun, but I bit him with the tile before he could shoot, and, looking to see if anyone was coming, I filled my pockets with the bills and taking a bludgeon which was lying on the desk 1 took my leave, slipping through shadows toward the gate where 1 saw the guard was posted, and as 1 slipped along the wall I contrived a way to get past him. As I came near him, I picked up a rock from the ground and threw it directly in front of him so as to attract his attention. When he stooped to examine the object that had fallen in front of him I was upon him and soon finished him. Twilight the next morning found me in a town twenty or thirty miles from tlie scene of the crime. I bought some new clothes which changed my appearrance entirely, and went into the town. I caught a train for the capital city and, arriving there about noon, went to a large bank to have some of the money changed. 1 told the officials I had been owner of a sheep ranch and, longing to go back home, had sold it to another ranchman. The high official sent the bills to the back office and told me I would have to wait. 1 waited until what seemed an age and heard a step in the doorway which I felt was not the banker’s step, and then I suspected something. And I was not mistaken. A tall man with the appearance and bearing of the law came into the room. I took one look at him and felt that what 1 needed was a hospital. 1 he first thought that entered my head was—‘'The hills are marked. I was cornered in the hank office, and I would die the death of a thief in a strange country. He rang a hell, he wanted help to take me to the prison. He put his hand into his pocket, presumably to get the handcuffs. He now bent over me and I was shaking and groaning to myself with the fear of dying and his voice, which sounded very calm and a little harsh, made me jump and shake more. I was thinking of all the good and had things 1 had ever done in mv day—“Ah! He was pronouncing my doom.

BOB S DARE A door opened on the right side of the long corridor, from which emerged a girl of about seventeen. As she continued along the hall, the same door was jerked hurriedly open and a soft fluffy head appeared, “Remember, at eight o’clock sharp, was the whispered message sent after the retreating figure, which in turn nodded her head to communicate to her friend that she had heard. It was one of the predominating features of England, that all of the daughters of the wealthy parents should attend a girls’ boarding school. It was the last polish in the moulding in a young girl’s character. In these chivalrous days, girls must be modest, quiet, polite and respectful to the opinions of their elders. Sometimes these opinions were unjustly founded; other times they would be influenced by those queer notions of those times-worn spinsters who had failed to get the most out of life. A girls seminary was usually found at the outskirts of some large city or inside of the boundaries of some quaint village. One of these schools was to be found about two miles from the populous city of Liverpool. The house was long, low and rambling. Parts of it were at least a hundred years old. Even the modern portions of it were not up to the present ideas of architecture. In the new part one found square rooms and the papers small in pattern. The windows, which looked out on those orderly lawns, were long and narrow. Indeed, they reached from the low ceiling to within six inches of the floor. The school consisted of twenty-five girls, with Miss Warwick, a faded spinster, as matron. Also there were a French and German mistress and the English governess. At the school was one of those merry-faced girls, who bad a kind aunt with a great fortune. The meagre circumstances at her home would not have permitted Rosmand to attend a school of this sort, but just in the nick of time Aunt Susan, with her ever helping hand, came forward with her proposal. It was finally settled that Rosmand should live with her aunt after she had finished her school career in return for keeping her at Hazlecourt for four years. Rose, as she was nicknamed, was a girl of spirit. Many times her brothers had quailed with fear as they saw her walk the comb of the old barn and dare them to follow her. Many times the dares exchanged between brother and sister had caused a dark cloud to hang over that peaceful family as they gathered around the fire in the evening, but somehow it always blew over. At school Rosmand was the means of healing sore hearts among the girls. Everyone loved her, and as they gathered together in her room on the second floor of the dormitory, broken friendship was renewed again. Some weeks before this queer happening Rosmand had received a letter from her brother Robert, which ran thus: Paddle Creek, Eng., Nov. 23, 1872. Dear Sis: I have great news for you. I will be in Liverpool two days. Monday Aunt Susan came over and asked me to see after some business in that great city which her old age would not permit her to see after. Did I accept? Well, I guess Bob doesn’t miss a time to see Rose if there is any way at all. Aren’t you glad? I wish Arthur could come, but as it cannot be thought of 1 will come alone. I will arrive about two o’clock, but as I have so many things to see after 1 can’t be free till about seven-thirty. Can’t you manage to meet me at the library about that time? You see, 1 can't come up there among that bunch of girls. Aunt Susan especially emphasized the fact that I must not stay over two days. So you see my time is limited. Ask the old lady, spinster, or whatever you call her, to let you off. Gee!!! I can’t wait to see you. With love, Bob. After the first happy anticipation of seeing Bob had commenced to wear off, she came to earth with a sudden jolt. How would she manage it ? To speak to Miss Warwick about it would be impossible. ‘ Everyone must be inside of the campus grounds by seven-thirty or suffer the consequences,” was one of the rules the girls saw staring at them from the bulletin board every time they entered the lower hall. Never in the memories of anyone had one of the fundamental laws of the school, as she called them, been broken without severe punishment. “No explanation is needed,” was the rebuff from that fastidious personage when Ruth Amesbury had endeavored to explain to Miss Warwick that a very intimate friend of hers had been in Liverpool for two hours and she had slipped out of the campus and spent the evening with her friend. Ruth got her full share of “The Merchant of Venice” for breaking one of the fundamental laws of the school. As the days drew nearer, Rosmand gave up. She was not in the habit of breaking rules. In fact, she had received a copy of Tennyson’s Poems” from the matron at the close of the last term for her good deportment. Her aunt had been so proud of her, when she had heard through a letter from Miss Warwick of the honor conferred on her niece that she gave her a New Testament neatly bound in genuine morocco. How could she disappoint Bob? What would she do? These were the questions constantly arising in her mind. At the end of the fourth day she sent a small tearful note to Bob telling him it was impossible. When she mailed it she did not end the matter, for after waiting five days Bob’s letter came: Dear Sis: You must come. Remember our times together. Listen, little pal, sneak out and fool the old lady. I dare you to do it. Don’t disappoint me. Bob. Bob’s allusion to their times together and his reliance on her put everything else out of Rosmand’s mind except that she could not disappoint him. “I won’t! I won’t! I can’t!” she cried, as she jumped out of the chair on which she had been handed the mail. Thus, Rosmand’s mind began to work and plan. Several things were firm in in her mind, and they were these: First, she could not get there before 8:30; second, sbe must act as natural as possible for fear of betraying her secret; third, she must let some one else in her secret to help her out. After considering which of the girls she would confer this honor upon, she decided upon saucy Mary Weatherby. Mary’s everlasting spirit of fun had made her Rosmand’s friend when they were Juniors. Many candles were burned as the girls sat up after the appointed hour, while they drew up their plans they were to follow. On the evening when that whispered message was sent down the hall and the retreating figure had nodded her head to let the other know that she had heard, two girls were so excited that they could hardly eat their dinner. Rosmand swallowed the usual amount of food m order to drive away any faint suspicion that Miss Warwick’s sharp eyes might detect. The two girls spent their evening together, which was nothing unusual, until the bell rang for the girls to go to their own rooms and study. About fifteen minutes to eight Marv, wrapped in an old cloak that she had found in her trunk, felt her way along the hall until she got to Rosmand’s door. After waiting awhile to make sure that everything was quiet, she opened the door and went in. Rosmand was looking in her wardrobe for an old wrap when the door opened. Arc you ready?” whispered Mary, as she stood in front of the glass and straightened out her collar, which had got sadly rumpled under the old cloak. Almost,” was the answer from the depths of the closet, as Rosmand rose smiling and held up a large dark blue shawl for Mary’s inspection. “That's just the thing.” “Do I look all right?” “Oh, you dear, I don’t blame Boh for being crazy about you. Why, you look too sweet to live,” gushed her friend. Rosmand smiled sweetly and said. “If you please, I am not quite ready -tojlie.” She had hardly got the last words out of her mouth before they heard the familiar footsteps of the matron coming down the hall, to see that everything was quiet for study hour. When she got in front of the door she stopped as if in doubt as to whether everything was as quiet as it should be. After quite a length of time she opened the door and looked in. Rosmand was sitting on the bed holding her breath, while Mary, who had stepped into the wardrobe, was rummaging about. Why are you not studying, Miss Rosmand?” demanded that austere lady. Rosmand had pushed open the door, and Mary said, Why, Rose, I can’t find it.” Upon looking up she stopped as though she had not been aware of their intruder. I beg your pardon, Miss Warwick, for not being in my room studying, but this morning Miss Carson ( meaning the English teacher) asked me to get a copy of “Tennyson’s Poems” and learn one. I happened to mention it to Rosmand and she said that she had one and she would let me use it if I would be careful with it. 1 understood her to say that a very dear friend gave it to her. She said that it ought to be in her trunk, but we can’t find it.” By the time Mary was through explaining her position. Miss Warwick was all smiles, and (ratted Rosmand on the back and assured her that she was sorry she had spoken so harshly to her. Mary dived down into the trunk again, fumbling about. “In case you do not find the book, i will lend you mine if you will call at my room,” was the assistance that the smiling matron offered as the door closed on her and left the two girls alone once more. “How could you tell such a falsehood?” gasped Rosmand when she got her breath. Why, you little goose,” said the astounded Mary. It was either that or give up seeing your brother and he disgraced to-morrow by the old cat.” Well, I know, but all the same I wish you had not done it,” confessed Rosmand as she heaved a sigh. Well, if that is the way you accept your brother’s dare, I am ashamed of you. What would Bob say if he knew his pal was ready to go back on him?” Don't, don’t say that,” begged Rosmand. I take it all back. Promise, Mary, you will never tell of my cowardice.” I cross my heart and hope to die,” promised Mary, “but we will have to hurry or it will be too late.” Mary picked up her cloak, which she had flung on the bed when she had entered the room, and wrapped it around her until her light dress was completely covered. She put on a small dark hat and pulled it down over her eyes. Meanwhile, Rosmand wrapped the big shawl around her until her pretty girlish dress was completely covered. She also put on a cap and pulled it down over her curls until you could just see her merry blue eyes shining under it. “Have you everything?” she asked as she snatched up a small bag from a table near by. After putting the light out, they opened the door and stepped out into the hall. They waited a few minutes to make sure that the way was clear. Mary reached for Rosmand’s hand, and the two culprits made their way along the hall to the top of the stairs. Just as they reached that spot, they heard a door open somewhere along the hall and some untimely intruder started toward them. The girls held their breath as they crouched against the staircase. But luck was with them. Just as the specter reached them it opened a door on the left and entered. “Come, let’s hurry, whispered Mary when she had gotten over her fright. The girls clasped each others hands and noiselessly they crept downstairs. They crossed the hall and made their way toward the door in the east wing. Mary led the way until they reached the outside door. This wing, being entirely devoted to the library and music department, the janitor hardly ever unlocked the door leading to the campus. Mary had noticed for some time that the kev was always left in that door. hen Rosmand had racked her brain for a way to get out, Mary had told her to cease worrying about it. She had possessed herself of the key before this memorable evening and it was a small matter to unlock the door and step out. When they felt the cool night air against their cheeks the girls became nearly hilarious over their success on getting out. Marv pinched her friend’s arm. She reminded her that the}' were still within hearing distance of the matron’s room. The girls walked briskly until they had nearly covered the two miles between them and that great city, Liverpool. They reached there about the time the main part of the inhabitants were starting for the theater. When they reached a street light they stopped. Rosmand took from her bag a small mirror and comb. Mary held the glass for Rosmand while she took off her cap. combed her curls back and fluffed her hair around her face. After fixing this and that, straightening a collar here, pushing in a hairpin there, and possessing themselves of their best manners, they both changed from the sneaking culprits they were into respectable looking young ladies. Smiling and nodding to acquaintances, they made their way toward the library, a pretty sight indeed. Their eyes were shining and their cheeks glowed with excitement. W hen they drew near the library they quickened their steps. After the first close embrace of brother and sister, Mary was introduced. At first Bob was awkward and timid, but after hearing from Rosmand about her part in the flight, Bob lost his timidity and became interested in his sister’s friend. “I received a telegram from Aunt Susan a little while ago saying that she had made arrangements for me to meet one of her school friends at eight-thirty. She ought to he here now, announced Boh to the girls. “I hope you won't care, will you: After talking a while. Bob arose and went to the hall to inquire for her. As he neared the desk, he saw the clerk followed by a woman dressed in a dark outfit coming toward him. After the introduction was over Bob led the way back to the table where the girls were sitting. Rosmand and Mary were busily engaged in conversation and did not know of their presence until they heard Bob say, Miss Warwick, meet my sister, Rosmand, and her friend, Miss Weatherby.” I he girls gave one wild glance around the room and then resigned themselves to their fate. Thelma Jones, ’23 --------o-------- HORSES AND DOGS ARE MEN’S BEST FRIENDS—SOMETIMES bred Hanson had been calling on his sweetheart that evening, and when we first see him he is on his way home. He was usually such a quiet fellow that you would hardly know him now. He acted as if something most wonderful had happened. And indeed there had. Rose Julia had at last yielded to his entreaties and had abandoned her resolution to not allow any young man to kiss her before she reached the age of twenty-one. Fred felt as if he were walking on air. He was, in reality, walking through a rather large, thick grove, and his surroundings being so familiar and being so occupied with his pleasant thoughts he was rather absent-minded as to the things around him. But suddenly there came, from a clump of bushes, a sound of crackling twigs and a sort of unearthly snort. Fred stopped and held his breath, while his seal]) quivered nervously. But he wasn t afraid of ghosts even if this was the night before Halowe’en. But just as he comforted himself with this thought, a great, lumbering, white mass hove toward him, and two blazing balls of fire stared at him throught the darkness. So rudely aroused from his former soliloquy, he could not gather his wits together to consider this new appearance sanely, and doing the next best thing, he turned and ran. And he ran squarely into a fierce, black monster reposing on the ground. Tossing its terrible head with its fiery eyes, it seemed to gather itself up on its hands (as he thought) and feet much as a football player does and then it launched itself toward him. Having been spellbound for a moment he turned and fled again. He ran breathlessly until he came to the fence which enclosed the grove and where it was practically clear. Just as he was climbing over and had just reached the top rail another black shape rushed toward him from a fence corner. Poor Fred, losing his balance, fell backward. In a moment, Nero, his big dog, was leaping all over him and offering him sticky caresses with his crinkly tongue. Fred arose, nervous and shaky, and continued his journey home. And out in the grove Farmer Trammel’s old white horse shook the clinging earth from its glossy coat, snorted again, and having had his nap, proceeded to munch contentedly the thick, tooth-some grass surrounding him. Master, the farmer’s fine, black, prize colt, awakened so unconsiderately from his dreams of flourishing clover fields and well-filled oat graneries, also shook himself and followed his elder’s example. Lois Satterfield, s “AUNT JENNY” As the train came to a standstill, Richard Rockwall gayly descended to the platform and entered the I. C. depot. He was in very high spirits, for he was going home after spending three months at the Illinois University. He set his traveling hag down near the door and went outside to see if a street car was coming. After loitering for a few minutes on the platform, he saw a car approaching the station. He hurried inside the depot to get his traveling hag and ran to catch the street car. Just as lie was boarding the car in haste, the travelling bag hit against the side of the car and flew open. Much to his surprise and embarrassment, articles of women's clothing fell from the bag. He immediately let the street car go on and tried to collect the fleeing garments but they were caught by a gust of wind and carried down the street. lie ran after them and after a straggling chase succeeded in capturing and putting them back into the bag. By this time the street car had gone, so he decided to return the bag to the depot. Just as he opened the door, he was confronted by a middle-aged woman who grasped at the travelling bag and cried: You thief, villain, wretch, what are you doing with my grip? Help! Police!” “Why----------Why—I—took it by mistake,” stammered Richard. “You did not, you tried to steal it!” shouted the enraged woman in a high tone. By this time a policeman stepped up and asked an explanation of the matter. Richard tried to explain the situation, but the woman made such a disturbance in trying to tell the policeman how he stole her traveling bag that his plea was not heard. Finally, after a heated argument the policeman let Richard go and told the woman that he was innocent of the theft. ith a sigh of great relief, Richard left the depot and took a car for the other depot, where he had to wait for his train home. When he arrived at home he was greeted by his mother and sister, who had come to the train to meet him. He was full of life and spent the rest of the day with his folks, not forgetting to tell them of his experiences at the depot. “That sure was some exciting time and 1 shall never forget that woman’s face as long as I live,” said Richard to them. That night he called up Rosalee, his best lady friend, and of course she wanted him to come over to see her. He arrived promptly at eight and was joyfully greeted by her. While they were conversing about their past experiences, Rosalee arose and said: “I want you to meet my aunt Jenny, who came from Chicago to sec us today.” She quitted the room and in a short time returned with her Aunt Jenny. As soon as Richard saw her he gasped for breath and clutched at the chair for support, because Aunt Jenny was the woman who had accused him of stealing her travelling bag in the depot. Glennia M. Lyon, ’20 THE AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE AND A PHOTO. Down the long hall strolled Clyde Durby and seeing an open door, his curiosity impelled him to look in. The room belonged to Roy Mason, a freshman green from the country and an unknown character thus far in the school. Clyde’s curiosity was soon at ease as to the freshman’s room, there was little in it to disclose the character of its ocupant. It was very tiny, containing only a few pennants, books, a trunk, bed and chiffonier. One object only held the attention of the dignified senior, this was a photograph in a plain square folder sitting on a shelf above the chiffonier, beneath it was a vase containing a single American Beauty rose. Clyde gazed long, drew a deep breath, then chuckled and strolled hack to his room, where his “pal” sat with both feet on a radiator, his back to the door and a physics book in his la]). A rude slap on the shoulder brought him to attention. “Say, old fellow, I have something on Roy,” exclaimed Clyde. “Go to thunder,” barked out Dick Gorman, “Can't you see I am studying. “Never mind that, do you think that greenie is going to put one over on me. Why he has a girl, and she is a sugar plum. I'll say. Dick we have not done any hazing this year and now is the time, make him ‘fess up or the cold water treatment will do it. I'll pass around the word. Just take three steps down the green carpet and see for yourself.” “You best let the giant alone,” grumbled Dick. “Not for the world will any green freshie put any thing on me, grinned Clyde. “Well, I'll step down and see the damsel and you tell them Saturday night.” Before Saturday night, which was the time set for the hazing, every senior had feasted his eyes upon the charming picture, but not a word was said in Roy’s hearing. The open hearted freshman wondered why every one was so kindly disposed toward him and why he had become so popular. Roy was studying hard that night and suddenly his hall door was thrown open and a swarm of grinning faces appeared. The grins deceived him, he first thought the gathering to be a surprise for him. The leader, Clyde Durby, stepped forward and demanded in a clear voice, “Whose your friend?” and pointed to the photo. Roy sprang to his feet and his answer was instant and defiant, “Some one whose name is too sacred to be called in this company. ’ A loud roar of laughter followed this and shouts were heard. “He’s got the fever.” “Talk about love, does she like red hair and freckles?” She certainly does,” he responded with flaming cheeks and flashing eye. Clyde demanded silence and asked if he could have the floor. “We just called to tell you how interested we were and to ask when we may have the pleasure of meeting her,” glancing toward the photo. For a moment a smile was seen on Roy’s face. Clyde broke forth, “If you consent at once to this we will depart, if not I am afraid we will give you a few pleasant little attentions in order to persuade you to change your niind.” As Clyde finished an egg hit the wall just above the picture. A dirtv yellow splash struck it and left a streak across the lovelv brow. I he face in the small folder was very beautiful, large gentle dark eyes, dark-hair arranged and fastened with a jeweled comb. The round white throat was visible below the face, the shoulder and dress receding into the shadows. hen the egg struck Roy sprang to the picture and thrust it into a drawer of his chiffonier. The vase and rose were shattered in a thousand pieces. The crowd grabbed him and stripped him, carried him to the basement where he was forced to take a great number of baths and was tossed in a blanket until he was worn out, but he never cried for merev. 1 hey took him back to his room, gave him an alcohol bath and tucked him in bed. Sorry we were rough, will you name the date for the introduction ?” asked Clyde. ’ Next Saturday,’ whispered Roy with closed eves. On Saturday Roy kept his promise and told the boys to meet him at seven thirty sharp. I he boys invited their lady friends, sisters, sweethearts and a couple of chaperones and furnished some simple refreshments for good cheer. Roy was on hand before seven thirty and by eight all had gathered. At eight .•sharp Roy stepped forward and led a little white haired lady by the hand to the center of the floor. ladies and gentlemen, 1 promised to present to you the lady of the photo. She is my most devoted admirer and dearer than any girl in the world. I take great pleasure in presenting her to you this evening. I am sure none of you cat. “cut me out no matter how hard you try. She is—my mother!” 1 here was a moment of silence. Site turned and raised her lovely dark eyes and smiled, it was the same as in the picture and at her waist was pinned a single American Beauty Rose. Then followed cheers led by Clyde for mother and son. Not even at nineteen when the photo was taken was Mrs. Mason showered with more attention. Roy never told her of the hazing and replied to her question that, They are a little rough at times, mumsie, but at heart I know they are sure all right.” Marie Sandusky, '20 Name Ila Reba Glennia Delbert Harry Dorothy Elsie Charlotte Ruby Olive Mary H.

Thy studies o’er, Dream of English themes no more; Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking Morn of math nor night of practicing. No rude sound shall reach thine ear Assembly’s noise with teacher’s scolding Bell nor conscience summon now Mustering classes and students tramping. Yet the breakfast gong may come Nearly noon time from the kitchen And the chef may sound his song Booming from that spicy region.

If so, why work, worry or slave just to keep it in the kitchen? It’s costing you money every day and you get nothing in return. Why not enjoy the delights of a Favorite, which will save enough to pay for itself in the end? These Range Facts Will Interest You The best range made in America is a Favorite. You can pay more, but pou cannot receive more for the money expended. The finest materials, the best design and construction, and the more attractive appearance—all these are Favorite attributes.

Real schools are not made by students afraid, Lest somebody else gets ahead; When everyone works and nobody shirks, You can raise a school from the dead.

He loved a maiden, a beautiful maiden And very beautiful was she. The maiden also loved the knight And watched as far as she could see For the coming of her knight “Sir Lee.” Sir Lee, one frosty morning, upon his steed did ride, To find the maiden that he loved and be by her side. And when he found the maiden’s home, He knocked at the door, But to his great surprise The maid was there no more. Then he kicked upon the door until it broke, And tacked by the door he found a little note. Sir Lee read the note and to his surprise The tears began to fill both his eyes. The maiden was afraid her knight she never could see, And left her home and jumped into the wide, blue sea.

TRIALS OF A STREET-CAR CONDUCTOR A deaf lady got on the street car at Quaker Avenue and before she had gotten to the next street, she had begun firing questions at the conductor. “Fare please madam,” politely asked the conductor. Beg pardon, but I didn’t understand,” said the deaf lady. I want your fare, please,” said the conductor very loudly. “Oh, do you want me to get my ticket?” asked the deaf lady. “Yes, 1 reckon 1 do, said the conductor. Well, here it is,” said the deaf lady, and handed him a twenty dollar bill, the fare was fifteen cents. It took all the change the conductor could get to give her back the required amount. “You know my son, Billy, don’t you? He lives at New York and he sent me twenty dollars for my birthday. I had some small change but I wanted you to see how nice my only son is to me,” said the old lady, just as if the conductor was caring. Yes, I can see, declared the conductor, half heartedly. I’ve been shopping all day and then didn’t get what I wanted,” sighed the old woman. “I never need very much,” said the conductor, And 1 can generally find it if I do.” “Huh?” asked the deaf lady. Yes, this car hasn’t been late since I’ve been on here.” Beg pardon, but I didn’t hear you, meekly replied the deaf lady. Yes, I see you didn’t,” said the conductor to himself. Did you say you never were late to school.'1’' asked the deaf lady. You know ever since I was sixteen vears old, I couldn’t hear. Now I'll tell you why. I was sick, and I’m not quite over it yet,” the old lady said, before the conductor could answer. I never was sick much” yelled the conductor, so as to he sure she would hear. “Huh, I didn’t understand?” “Somebody wants on. I’ve got to go!” yelled the conductor as he left. I always did like to talk!” she yelled back at him. Edward McMahon, ’23. Phone 17 R. L. BURGOYNE Wholesale and Retail Florist Cut Flowers For Funerals And Weddings.

It brings to our minds the realization that our High School days are drawing to a close. In a few short weeks we will turn the last page of its life, knowing that it is finished. Never again will we sit in the class rooms as students or take part in student activities. But one thing is left us and that, a golden memon which we will cherish. A memory of teachers, classmates and wonderful times. If in the years to come this book proves a help to the memory of some ex-graduate, then, in the true sense of the word has our work been finished and the last page will not have been turned in vain.
