HUTCHISON IU iDriHratinu To one who has ever been a «xnirteous gentleman, a true friend, a faithful teacher, an efficient helper over the rough places, we respectfully and appreciatively dedicate this, the first volume of The Corral, to $ii)irrititritbrnt Sari Siumtuuih ijmurll FACULTY □ THE EARL LINN WOOD HOWELL, Superintendent, tTHCathemalics “'Punctuality meets an engagement, promptness meets a situation, proficiency meets both ” Superintendent Howell has made for himself a warm place in the hearts of the student body. He was always fair and did the right thing by them. This is his first year as superintendent, but the school has been benefited much by him for he is progressive and works for the best interests of the school. CHARLES HENRY PUCKETT, Principal, History and Science “trouble knocked at the door, but hearing a laugh within hurried away. ” Mr. Puckett is a humorist and has made his classes more enjoyable in this way. He is a good athletic coach and though little he is loud on the side lines. He always stands up for his boys and girls in athletics. XOX Zh LILLIE BER THA PATE, Latin “Of the five senses, common-sense and a sense of humor are the rarest.” Miss Lillie B. is one of the best Latin teachers we know and that is saying a good deal. All her pupils agree on one thing even if they don't on others and that is. she is a good teacher. We only wish we know as much Latin as she does. We all like her. MABEL LOUISE FLANAGAN, English “'People who are afraid of freckles never make hap while the sun shines. ” Miss Mabel is one of the most popular teachers of G. II. S. Plump and pretty, she inspires her pupils to do good work. She is their friend and it passes above dispute that no one can help liking her. The Seniors hate to think that this is their last year with her. JOHN FURMAN HUNTER CRABR, Music ,,eChcrc arc more wife-made men than self-made men.” Crabb is not of the fish variety, but we can truly say that as a musician he has no peer. Coining to G. H. S. five years ago he at once fell to work and the result this year is that G. H. S. is a musical school. He has done much for Graham and we hope that we will be lucky enough to keep him forever. LUCILLE SPEED MILLER, Expression 'Jin indispensable woman never it. Too much cannot be said of Miss Miller. There are not enough superla- tives to voice our estimation of her, but we will say that we dread the day when we will lose her. She has made herself indispensable to the school and is the best teacher of Expression going. THE The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us; to develop, to their fullest extent, the capacities of every kind with which (iod who made us has endowed us.—Mrs. Jameson. The benefits of education and useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government.—Sam Houston 44444444 All life is a school, a preparation, a purpose; nor can we pass current in a higher college, if we do not undergo the tedium of education in this lower one. 44444444 Knowledge is. indeed, that which, next to virtue, truly and essentially raises one man above another.—Addison. 44444444 Take what is; trust what may be; that’s life's true lesson.—Robert Browning.

Polly is one of the popular girls of the school, but that does not prevent her from having a good time. She only studied when she had to which was often. Her highest ambition when she graduates is to settle down, hut we nope that she will forego this in order to let the world benefit by her talent as a singer. President G. H. S.

Whenever he was called upon to go through the opposing line in a football game, that line just sim- ply melted out of sight when they perceived him coming towards them.

Her blue eyes are very dangerous for if one gets a peep into them he is her slave forever. The picture show is her chief rendevouz, and when one does not find her at home he usually finds her there. ■ 'She still chews a dime‘s worth six days of the week while the seventh she passes with a chew “ Three-fijths of him genius and two-fifths of him sheer fudge.

Ike’s chief occupation is to chew Mum in Latin class. Nothing pleases her more than a present of chewing gum and many a hoy has won her friendship in this way. She is a good ‘tickler of the ivories and the pianos always feel at ease under the touch of her soft fingeis. FREDERICK MORRISON HUDSON ‘‘Fritz’’ Reiroitcr G. II.

She is a good basket ball player and besides is a wonderful elocutionist. She has so many beaus that she is thinking seri- ously of getting an adding machine to count them up.

Giggles is a model (?) student. When she is not studying she is cut- ting up and it is in vain that the teacher moves her to a front seat. She readily adapts herself to her new po- sition and goes on as before. Latin is her favorite and she shows her partiality for it by tearing up the book. But for all that she is a sweet little girl and can hold it down with the best of them when it comes to graduating. I he man who blushes I� not quite a brute.

Freak is well known as an orator and having such an easy flow of words he has made a hit with the ladies. When his deep bass voice boomed out a question the teachers paid attention and having their at- tention he would keep on for hours. He has thus saved the members of ths class many times from reciting � or which they are truly thankful. She attains whate’er she aims at.

She is a good scholar and the teachers feel safe when they ask a question of her. We think she will be one of the leading suffragettes of the future. “7Ac soul of this man is in his clothes.

He is a great ladies man nearly always having three or four girls dangling on Ins string. He is greatly worried by this and as he can only take one or two at a time he frequently pays the other men of the class to relieve him of the excess thereby greatly enriching them. Hats off. gentlemen! To Sidney Sherman Sel f is due the honor of naming the Annual of the Graham High School He has always stood up lor the best interests of the school and we take pleasure in accepting the name of The Corral.

HOLT CATHERINE CRAIG LOTTIE BELL WALLACE AMY ROBERTSON ELOISE MORRISON THIRTEEN [Black Cat] ffiistnni In 1912-13 the present Senior class was in its Freshman year under the direction of our beloved Superintendent Mr. Edgar McLendon. Eight of the present members started with us; namely. Ethel Cornish. Catherine Craig. Berenice Miller. Eloise Morrison. Amy Robertson. Leon Pursley. Nat Price. Sidney Self, with about sixteen other pupils. At the beginning of our Sophomore vear. our class gladly received the following new members: Marie Cochran. Richard Price, and Albert Holt, who have borne the struggles of high-school life faithfully and are now prepared with the other members of the class to receive their diplomas. In the Junior vear only two new members entered with the class upon the search of the reward which is to be received at the end of the following year. They were Lottie Bell Wallace and Fred Hudson. Up to this time the class was still upon its course under the gentle, watchful care and supervision of Mr. McLendon. But much to our sorrow and disappointment at the close of that year we had to say goodbye, with tears in our eyes, to the one whom we all loved so dearly. In our Senior year no new members were added but the lucky thirteen are almost in view of the golden star Among our number are some of the most talented students that ever left the Graham High School. From our class are three members of the Glee Club. Lottie Bell Wallace. Berenice Miller, and Albert Holt. Our musicians are Eloise Morrison. Catherine Craig. Ethel Cornish. Berenice Miller. Sidney Self and Fred Hudson. The dramatic depart- ment includes Lottie Bell Wallace. Catherine Craig. Richard Price, Sidney Self, and Fred Hudson. —Class Historian ■JJrnjiljmj of tlir tritior (Class of lUlfi ExtrartB «From Harimis 1320 Nruispappra West Texas Reporter County Cor- respondence from Dakin: Miss Berenice Miller, who teaches singing school here, took Sunday dinner with Mrs. Jones.

County of Young, J THAT, we. of the Senior Class of the Graham High School, of the County of Young, State of Texas, being in good health and sound and disposing mind and memories, do make and publish, individually and collectively, our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all wills made by us at any time before. 1. Berenice E. Miller, do hereby will and bequeath to any pupil, so unfortunate as to be a Senior in the years to come, my vast and profound knowledge of the great Science. Physics, as found in the adopted textbook. I. J.

I. Ethel Cornish, do hereby bequeath and will to any who are looking in vain for such, my innocence of note writing. I. Lottie Bell Wallace, do hereby will and bequeath to the most ignorant Latin student of the Senior Class of 1917, all my treasured Latin translations which I have been able to collect by hard labor and much lack of sleep and by sweet talk to Berenice. I. Catherine Craig, do hereby will and bequeath to the future Basket Ball forwards of the G. H. S., my astonishing ability for putting in one goal out of every thirty-three trials. May they treasure this bequest and divulge the secret to no one. I. Amy Robertson, do will and bequeath my vast collection of the most beautiful and healthy red freckles in the G. H. S. to the twelve fairest girls that shall attend our school within the next twelve years, provided that they take special care of them, giving them one hour in the sun every day. I.

I, Leon Pursley. do hereby will und bequeath all my poems which I have written in school to the detri- ment of my studies. In doing this, I consider myself equal to Carnegie as a philanthropist. But when all is over and the end is come, we hope that you will have one thing which we cannot bequeath you, but can only keep for ourselves, and that is a host of pleasant memories, both of this Senior Class, of the Senior Class to come, of the Faculty of G. H. S.. and. too. a determination to do your duty and succeed in life. We hereby constitute and appoint Mrs. Charles H. Puckett sole executor of this, our last Will and Testament. IN WITNESS THEREOF, we have hereunto set our hands this, the 28th day of May. A. D„ 1918, in the presence of the witnesses. Profs. Howell. Puckett, Pate and Flanagan. [Signed 1 SENIOR CLASS.

THE 31untilr Sjtatnrg o«jao The Junior Class of 1916 has very little variation from what it was in 1914. when we were all Freshmen. There are five new members who have dropped in one after another as the Class has climbed upward. The Junior Class is not a class to be ashamed of. Unlike some classes, we owe almost all our laurels to the boys. In our Sophomore year, one of our members won the English medal with another in the class winning second place, with next best grades. This year, the Junior boys made quite a showing in the debating contest. One of the boys won second place in the contest, and went to Wichita where he contended with the contestants. Nor has less interest been taken in the athletics. Several of the boys have been on the Football. Baseball. Basket Ball teams, and in the Track work of this year. One of the boys won in the County Senior Boy Declamation contest. Me went to Wichita and won first place there, then to Austin and secured a place in the final contest. We expect six boys and four girls to graduate in 1917. We are now looking forward longingly to our honor as Seniors. ■ 7 S n|iliomorpa (l THE 1 President JACK STEWART Vice President PASCHUALL TACKETT Secretary SADIE SCOTT Class Clown PASCHUALL TACKETT Class Historian LETA BLACK Class Reporter EMMA SUE SPIVEY CLASS MOTTO: Green But Growing COLORS: Green and Pink.

We, Sophomores, have accomplished the required work and the Class, without an exception, is prepared to do harder work next year. Not only has our Class been growing in an intellectual way. but also in numbers. As Freshman we started out with thirteen enrolled and this year we added three. Louise Hodges, George Parsons, and Richard Taylor. They have done good work and have helped to maintain the reputation of the Class In athletics our members have done their full share. Paschuall Tackett was awarded the gold medal at the County Meet as the best individual athlete In Football. Richard Taylor. Paschuall Tackett. Jack Stewart and John Lynch scored many goals.

In order to more effectually carry out this plan the little Fishes met on April 9th to unite their crowd of geniuses into a well organized body. Upon their entrance to the joys of high-school life the Freshies immediately began to make a name for themselves From the class of so-called Tad-poles six were athletic stars, three of the boys being in the Football team, and three of the girls on the Basket Ball team. Not only is our Class represented in athletics, but also in other branches of activity. Our Cleopatria [our President] is a member of the '16 Corral staff. A great deal of talent in music, art. oratory and literary branches is shown by members of our wonderful Class. In conclusion we think you will agree with us that in view of the dents our Freshman Class has early made on the pages of G. H. S history. The Class with the motto. Root Little Pig or Die,” will establish a precedent of which succeeding classes will be proud and future generations will find difficult to attain.

I COnRAL I6M ittusiral ffiistimj Graham High's Music Department for the past five years has been under the able directorship of Prof. J. F. H‘ Crabb. Prof. Crabb studied the Piano under F. Arthur Johnson of the Royal Conservatory of Music. Leipsic. and the Violin under Michel Berstein, first prize graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music. Brussels, (Belgium). Later he went to Chicago and studied the Piano and Violin uuder Hans von Schiller and Benerd H. Listemann respectively. After teaching at various places he came to Graham and under his directorship the musical aspect of the school advanced by leaps and bounds. He is a teacher of all string and wind instruments, his specialty being the Piano and Violin. The School Orchestra and Band were organized in 1914 and under the capable leadership of Prof. Crabb soon reached a high musical plane The Orchestra has been much in demand and has played at all important functions. Its music is of a high order and since it is the only high-class orchestra in Graham it has had more offers of en- gagements than it could fill. Not only does it furnish music for the town but also for the school and it has inspired many a student to aspire to high places in the world of the future. It is composed of eleven members, all artists. But the Orchestra is not the only feature of the musical side of the school The Band has furnished its share of the music and is very popular in Graham. It plays at all games and at the countv meets and besides, furnishes music for special occasions as well as playing in chapel. No occasion is complete without it and it has filled quite a number of of engagements satisfactorily and well. The sixteen members consider it quite an honor to be members of the school Band. These two musical organizations have done much towards the advertising of the school and have benefited not only the school but also the town. It is more than likely that the Band and Orchestra will fill engagements out of town next year so widespread has been the fame of their music. ffiiyh rluuil iBatih 3. jr. $j.

S. has always had a quartette which added much to the musical side of the school and which has appeared before the public an indefinite number of occasions. In former years attention was chiefly given to a male quartette, but last year under the directorship of Miss Lucille S. Miller a female quartette was organized and flourished if their many appearances before the public may be said to be a criteroin of their success. This year both quartettes were combined to form a Glee Club and this new combination acheived a success from the start. There is a wealth of good material in the school for the Glee Club and the best of them are accorded a place on it. so that by reason of this, the Glee Club is an organization that stands out above the rest of the so-called Glee Clubs. Much credit is due Miss Miller for her time and effort in making this the best High School Glee Club in the State and we know that if she continues to direct it in the future Graham High will not fall below the standard of this year’s musical organization. No introduction to the Dramatic Department is complete without a tribute to Miss Lucile Speed Miller, who for the last four years has directed that Department with signal grace and distinction. In pursuance of her high interpretation of the art of Expression, her class has won new laurels to herself and given fresh impetus in the field of Self-Expression and fine interpretation of the masterpieces of the world's literature The seope of her work has included not only that of Expression but also of special training which need is becoming recognized today along with the slogan “a strong mind in a strong body. Too. she has done splendid work in the training and staging of plays, ranging from mock comedy to Shakesperean in character—all evincing the most finished workmanship on her part. In fact. Miss Miller is a star of the first magnitude in the galaxy of other stars and to her do we owe the success and popularity of the Dramatic Department. “An ilutrrrimtrii rxipnaal” Stephen Howard, a practical joker CAST OF CHARACTERS Floy Hinson.

As a result of the preliminary contest in the school to select its representatives John E. Morrison. Jr., and Faye Martin of the Seniors and John Carmack and Martha Mae Morris of the Juniors won the right to represent the school in the County Meet. Three of these. John E. Morrison. Jr.. John Carmack and Martha Mae Morris won out over the other contestants in the County contest and together with Floy V. Hinson and Richard E. Price, who had won out in the school debating contest and who had no opponents in the county, they represented the county in the District contest at Wichita Falls. All of them won out in the preliminaries and went into the finals. John E. Morrison, Jr., and Martha Mae Morris, by reason of the judges’ unbiased opinion, won the right to represent the district at the State. As there was no Junior contest John E. Morrison, Jr., was the only one to go to Austin. He won in the preliminaries but lost in the finals by a narrow margin. As there are twenty districts in the State and as only six could enter the finals we think that Graham's repre- sentative did well and we are confident that with this experience added he will be the State champion next year. o o ATHLETICS an (Our (CuarhPB « We of the G. H. S. are glad to present to you Mr. and Mrs Charles H Puckett as our coaches. They came from Burkburnett last year making this their first year here. When they arrived some of the boys were asking one day how Mr. Puckett looked, how big he was and everything al out him pertaining to that which constitutes a good coach. Mr. Puckett happened to be close around. He passed by the boys several times, of course they never dreamed of a coach looking like him. One of them asked. “What kid is that walking around here? Then someone knowing Mr. Puckett, told him. But during the past nine months Mr. Puckett has proven that he was little but loud. A more agreeable coach you never met with. He looks over the blunders and mistakes made by the boys, encourages them and in a friendly and quiet manner shows them how to do better. He never let his hopes run low. In every game he yelled from beginning to end without the slightest sign of the thought of failure. Mrs. Puckett coached the girls. She held a great influence over them and trained them so that they played skillfully and well. The Basket Ball team this year can be said to be one of the best that has ever represented Graham High. She was another one who would stay by her team until the last minute. We drink to our coaches. May they succeed all through life in training young men and women to be true lovers of sport and to scorn unsportsmanlike conduct. Y f Y f THE r Jfmithall Football was started last year. Ouly a few Raines were played but G. H. S. showed promise of future greatness by shutting out her opponents in all the games and at the same time rolling up heavy scores. This year, with a better team and a heavy schedule. G II. S. proved that she could stand up with the best of them. For instance. Olney was defeated decisively by the score of 50 to 0 and Mineral Wells, the strongest team to face G. H. S.. was held to a 7 to 7 tie. Football is now firmly intrenched in the school and already plans are being considered for next season for a good Football Team. CHAS. H.

Under his skillful coaching a good machine was built up which was able to hold its own with the best and then some. His voice could be heard above the biggest din and the boys hearing it would be encouraged to greater efforts. Among the light weights but go-getters we find “Polly Loving, renowned on the field of love and invincible on that of Foot- ball. This year he played tackle. His weight is 148 pounds. Reindeer Billings ley joined our team as right end. He was the swiftest runner around. Many times he has taken a forward pass and bouncing off down the field was out of reach of everyone for a touchdown. We are proud of his speed. He will probably be here for three years. His weight is 145. Smallest of all is “Runt” Flint weighing only 180 pounds. He played tackle part of the time and made a wide reputation at Wichita for goal kicking. We hope to have him again next year.

It is no rare thing for the team to go through an undefeated season. This is the oldest form of sport in the school and she has always turned out good teams that are a credit to the school and that ‘ bring home the bacon. With its famous battery. Holt and Tackett, working well Graham High is assured of a good season this year The students are loyal and attend every game and use their language a great deal as a means of encouragement which helps a lot if we may judge by the scores in favor of G. H S. The town boys have played six games with us but they were defeated each time. r ■ —— — — — COI-tRALL i — =i J ' ' a $ K % i i t Haakrt Uiall pppp The Basket Ball team this year was the best that Graham High has produced Though they had quite a heavy schedule the girls proved that they were made of good G. H. S stuff and they made a good record during the season. The Junior girls played well. too. and defeated their oppo- nents by handsome majorities. With the material in hand TJ. H. S. will have a championship team next year. THE TRACK r ufrark Track was taken up last year and in the County Meet this year and also last year Graham won hv scores that indicated that she had a monoply in that line. The school has a good field for track and it is by reason of this fact that it has taken the interest in athletics it has and she is able to turn out county champions each year. We have gained quite a reputation in this line. i:h In the County Meet this year Graham High walked off with the heavy end of the score. Out of a little over a hundred points she won ninety-six which were about all the points to be won. Paschuall Tackett of the Seniors and Olin Calvin of the Juniors lied for the individual medal, each getting twenty-five points. A few members of the local team went to the District Meet at Wichita Falls where they won quite a few points and proved that G. H. S. was equal to other schools in that respect. Because of Graham Highs supremacy in athletics many boys have come to the school on that account. ilmtinr tTrark SEPTEMBER 1. Anticipations of school. 6. Expectations realized.

This school had a magazine called “The Croaker published by a few enterprising students of a literary turn of mind about two or three years ago but owing to the impracticability of keeping it up it was discontinued. This year the advisability of having a magazine for the school was taken up and after much consideration it was decided that it would be best to reserve space in the local papers of three columns each and have elected reporters to send in the news of the school every week. These were elected at the heginnihg of every quarter and were students who had made good grades and whom the student body considered would best be fitted for reporters of the school. G. H. S. has indeed been fortunate in the selection of her reporters and it is due to them that that a new interest in the school has been awakened and the school columns are the first to be read when the papers are received. The reporters have shown literary ability and they have received many compliments in this respect. The school spirit, evident at all times, is greater than ever before and loyalty to the school is to be found in every student be he Senior or a plain Freshman. The school owes much to the reporters who are given below: Leader Reporter 1st Term: MARY McBRAYER 2nd Term: BERENICE MILLER 3rd Term: FRED M. HUDSON 4th Term: LOTTIE BELL WALLACE ALBERT HOLT FLOY HINSON CATHERINE CRAIG LEON PURSLEY (Shtrr tlir Snrkn ©rail With tin' IGurku (Tlnrtmt � v' � � i dddd Having at last attained the highest point of their ambition, to-wit: to he Seniors, the thirteen topnotchers of the year 1916 started on their journey to a land in which they would leave childhood's memories behind and take up the duties of Life which are given to every man whatsoever his station may be. On the seventh of September they secured the ancient wooden horse of the Greeks, which was used in the capture of Troy, and with this as their carryall and James Leon Parsley as the driver they started on the trail studded here and there with rocks of knowledge. They had first secured the regulation guide books. Solid Geometry. Cicero. History of English Literature. History of the U. S. and Physics and with their help and a little use of the gray matter inside their heads they were able to view the changing scenery with interest and delight as their steed carried them on. After having been on their journey for nearly two months they stopped at the home of Fred M. Hudson on October 31 where the sacred rites of Halloween were fittingly observed and the weary travelers refreshed themselves and threw aside all worries for that day. Soon after they were visited by that awful plague, exams, from which, after a short illness of two and one-half days, all recovered The next stop was at the beautiful town of Thanksgiving Day where the Seniors gave thanks to Him who had helped them in their recent affliction and had their fill of turkey and accessories. Then they started on not to stop again until they had reached the pinnacle of the mountains known as Christmas from which a view of the promised land was obtained. Here they made a stop of two weeks and one day which was the longest rest they ever allowed themselves. Rested after their long vacation they started on the Inst part of their journey and a short time afterwards they successfully passed the second inspection of their perceptive faculties and celebrating this event they turned aside from the beaten path and spent a half a day on Dry Creek where a camp fire was made and a good time had. After securing new guide books, Trigonometry and Virgil, they resumed their journey which was fast nearing its close The home of Eloise Morrison was thrown open to them some time afterwards and a fudge party provided entertainment. They passed two more examinations and at last entered the land of their hopes and desires with a great deal of pomp and ceremony where their friends and relatives stood waiting to congratulate them and give them a start on the still longer journey of Life. Oh dear!” sighed Madge as she walked into Martha's room. How I wish we could do something exciting These days are so dull. The last time we did anything mean was when we set the alarm clock and put it in the fire-place when Miss Smith was going to have company. Let's plan something. Well. responded Martha, we can’t decide on anything alone. So let’s warn in all the members of the Phi Alpha and see what they can suggest. When all the members who had answered the call had put themselves away in Martha's room, the president rose and called for order. The subject for debate this afternoon is: Resolved that something exciting should happen. Has anyone any suggestion? We might have a midnight lunch— The speaker could go no further for this idea was unanimously opposed. “The trouble about midnight lunches. put in Madge, “is that we have had so many; they are growing monctous. We want something different. Now I have an excellent idea. Let’s have a Barnyard!' ” “A Barnyard?’ ” cried one. why I am not a cow.’’ “Please explain at once, advised a more sensible member. Well, began Madge, “when my sister was off at Vassar they had what they called a Barnyard’ to get revenge on the grouchy old house-mother. The plan is this: A number of the 'abused' meet outside the intended victim’s door at midnight. Previous to the meeting each girl has been named an animal. When the leader counts to three each one yells as loud as she can the cry of the animal she is named for. I am sure Mrs. Boatwright will enjoy it. You know how she loves music. Now I’ll name each of you and then run to your rooms or she may suspect us. Remember, at twelve o'clock tonight be in Martha’s room. From here we will go to Mrs. Boatwright's bedroom door —then the fun. The girls were so enthusiastic over the plan that twelve o’clock found all of them in Martha’s room. With Madge as a leader they stole silently to the house-mother’s bedroom door. WHMHW THE One-two-three! go! whispered Madge. I would not attempt to describe the sounds that broke the silence. Yet the first alarm brought no response from the occupant of the room. Once more the cries smote air and then silence again reigned. The third time a key turning in a lock caused the mischief-makers to disperse with unusual haste. Madge’s room was the farthest one down the corridor and before she could reach the door the irate Mrs. Boatwright was in the hall. The girl knew that if she entered her own room she would be discovered. Instead she ran into the practice room and jumped out the window, snagging her dress on a nail in the sill as she jumped. She landed safely and hid in the shadow of the building. It was a good while before she dared to leave her hiding place. Mrs Boatwright had been hot on her trail and knew where she went although she did not recognize the girl. At last she ventured to her room, expecting every moment to be pounced upon by the house-mother. She thought no more of her adventure until the next afternoon. She and her chums were ready for a stroll when one of them exclaimed. Why Madge your dress is torn. So it is. returned Madge. Wait just a minute and I’ll run in to Mrs. Boatwright’s machine and sew the place up. Now Mrs. Boatwright had been expecting just such a visit from one of the girls for she had discovered the piece of cloth clinging to the nail in the window of the practice room and saved it as a clue. Therefore when Madge made her appearance and told her desires, the house-mother said: “I think I have a piece of cloth like that dress just right to fit in that hole. She scowled over her glasses at the girl when she saw that the piece of cloth and the dress really matched. Poor Madge remembered with a sinking heart that she had torn the dress in her hasty exit by the window the night before. Her eyes fell before the cold gaze of her silent accuser. “And now. Miss Powell, will you kindly tell me what part you had in the outrage of last night? Then Madge told the whole story, not omitting the fact that she was the ring leader. And as a reward of her acknowledgement of being in the wrong, the kind-hearted Mrs. Boatwright shortened Madges sentence to thirty days on the campus during which time she was to have neither company nor dessert. —Berenice Miller. .IJnlu's aaaa Miss Flanagan (in English class): Fred, why do we celebrate Thanksgiving? Fred (wise Senior): ‘To eat turkey. Mr. Puckett (in History class): Eloise. tell us about the Battle of Gettyysburg Eloise: All I know about it is that the Indians were defeated. Mr. Howell, (in 10th Geometry class): “Well, we are nearing the hack of the book. Ruby Snoddy (innocently): Do we have to take the index too?” Lois Morrison (an Eagle): “I wish I had a quarter —and then I wouldn't be in that old debate this after- noon in the Society. Miss Flanagan (in 8th grade English): Louise, what did Ellen say when Roderick asked for her hand? Louise: “Why she said. ‘Oil. Roderick! this is so sudden. One afternoon Miss Miller had to give some lessons after school. When she started home, about six o’clock, she found the front door of the building locked. After trying all the doors, she at last got out through a small one in the rear of the building. When about half way across the campus she met Mr. Howell, the superintendent. Mr Howell. she said, what did you let them lock me in the school house for? Oh. he sai . did they lock you up in the house? Yes. “Well. (reaching into his pocket for his keys), did you get out? Albert (in History class): President Garfield lingered between life and death for nine days and then turned up his toes. Miss Miller (in Physical Training): Place your finger tips on the back of your neck to take the weight of your head off your spine. Verda: My head doesn’t weigh much. THE itU'immi's In the Springtime we get lonesome And we want to play and sleep Our school books become a burden And we almost sit and weep. We think of friends we’ve parted. Of true lovers cast aside. Of the love that’s almost faded. Yet we long to be by their side. Now we think of our own school days For we know that we must part With those friends we love so dearly. And it almost breaks our heart. Then we think about the future. But the future is so dark. Then to think of what we’re leaving Almost breaks our saddened heart. -By S. S. S.
