Previous to the fall of 1882, though the most advanced pupils were assembled in one room, it was not organized as a High School. During that fall the school was organized and the first course of study adopted. Since that time the High School has kept pace with the city. While the city has reached a population of l2,500, the High School has reached a total enrollment of 268, an advance over last year of 26 pupils and over the year be- fore of 60. As the years pass by, its principals have been Mrs. Caldwell, Vina Watts, E. E. Cole, j. H. Thompson, Mr. Bachelor, W. H. Baird, A. H. Waterhouse and J. F. Matthews who has held the position for the last twelve years. Each year the old quarters became more crowded until the High School was using nine rooms on the second floor of the Dodge building and was even then crowded to overflowing, with What shall we do with the new comers? the all important question. In 1906, the Board of Education began the construction of a new High School building, located between Ninth and Tenth streets, at a cost of SS75,000. lnto this building we moved during january, 1908, and even now the assembly room is entirely full. This High School is one of the most advanced in Nebraska. lt is a four- year accredited school with six courses: Latin, German, English, Normal Training, Business, and College Preparatory, each being a four-year course. ln athletics, Grand Island has always been noted for playing a clean game, and no person is allowed on the team who is not a bona fide student and up in his studies. The Senior class of the High School each year gives a class play, and also, are the sponsors for this Annual. This class is now composed of forty-two members, although when it entered four years ago the total enrollment was eighty-three. Q C5 IEWLKUDHT W wg-T jr FRANK, ERNEST He is football captain and president of our class, But his heart is won by an Alumni lass. WOOLLEY, FLORENCE, Vice President A well known violinist, a forward of fame, Never loses her head in any close game. N l ETFELD, WI LLIAM, Secretary As good as a funny book when in a crowd, Could easily walk with his head in a cloud. BOCKHAHN, EMMA Always found willing to help with the rest, A likable Madchen, a temper the best. BROOKS, LENA A more industrious mortal you scarce have ever met, And therefore as is proper she doth good markings get BROWN, STELLA As all of you ken, a Scotch lassie is she, Both bonnie and cheerful whereler she may be. BU LLISS, LOTTIE One of these good, little girls, you know, Her pet saying being, I told you so. 8. CAMPBELL, ESTHER Very positive, sure and emphatic is she, A Woman's Rights leader some day she will be. 9. CRAGAN, ALICE To have one stray lock or a plait out of place Would by this tidy mortal be termed a disgrace. 10. DEARING, OPAL A heartless coquette, as those eyes plainly say, Always there with the goods in a basket ball fray. ll. ENGLEMAN, EDWIN A lover of Demosthenes, whose methods he employs, One of the many brilliant ones among the '09 boys. l2. FINCH, GRACE A female Paderewski, full of virtues, but, oh dear! To write of her in this small space would be a task, l fear 13. GOEHRING, CARL As all of you know, an athlete is he, ln baseball and football our Coonie we see. UREGORY,EARL He is one of the few quiet lads of '09, 'Tis a grateful relief to find some one of this kind. JUDY,oRAcE Some happy time in future days she'll find her famous Punch, 'Till then she'll be Missjudy, who on knowledge loves to munch. HAYMAN, GERALDINE 'Tis she of the golden hair and twinkling eyes so blue, Her lady friends are many, and her man-nyi' friends not few. LARRISON, THELMA Naught else need be said when you once see her picture, Of vague dreamy looks and sly mischief a mixture. KIRSCHKE, CORA Oh, Cora, you're a caution-at it morning, noon and night, . But what's the use of High School when the fun's all out of sight? 1vERs,EsTELLA She dearly loves to pound the keys, and play a tune or two, And when there's something doing, sheis happy thru and thru. KLAPPROTH, ANNA ' A bright little girl, full of fun everywhere, No, we won't say a word as to color of hair. KOLLS, KLINDT Whose curly locks and brains so bright, Have won distinction left and right. MCGRATH, WILMER In for everything that's going, always nice to ladies fair, His inventive power in History can't be beaten anywhere. MIARS, DANIEL just a little bit shy of the fair sex, you know, In appearance, demure, don't be fooled, hels not slow. PFLASTERER, MAUD In basket ball, a peach is she-no one can e'er outplay her, When asked what kind ofman shelikes, will always say a Taylor. MCGRATH, KATIE So pert, so bright, so witty, So game, so cute, so pretty-that's Kate LEISER, BLANCHE A model of propriety, scarce ever in a hurry, One of the few who never cause their teachers any worry. PRINCE, HAROLD A well-known History reference, with the wisdom of a sage, Not lacking in class spirit, is now thinking of the stage. in , A n ! l K SALYER, ANNA With air so gentle, face so sweet, And rosy blushes hard to beat. SCOTT, FRANK A half back so fierce, and a great Latin shark, Thought he'd ride to North Platte as a sort of a lark. SCHWYN,MMEE A stylish little lady, to this we all will own, Her winning smile, her pleasant way, to everybody shown. SHILTS, PRUDENCE Another maiden whose appearance might deceive the teachers, Though prudent, she is in for fun, regardless of its features. SMENTOWSKI, AGNES A dignified studious student, who nothing but study will do, Her conduct, as well as Miss Agnes, is almost too good to be true sorHMAN,RosE Her modest looks, in truth, a cottage might adorn, Alas! For boys in general, she holds the deepest scorn. SPRINGER, RALPH l just love to talk and argue, till they make me stop and rest, And of all the games agoing, I like basket ball the best. STAAL, ELENA A good deal's in a name this time, for she is lean and tall, Which comes in mighty handy in a game of basket ball. PORTER, HOWARD Always found playing pranks, his spare time to beguile, His most constant companion, an innocent smile, SUNBERG, ELLEN In spite of all the bright and handsome boys this class can show, She needs must tum to juniors to find herself a beau. TESTNIAN, VIRGINIA I love my books and classmates, and all the High School joys, But more than all of these I love those creatures they call boys. SWITZER, AGNES Seems to think boys were a dreadful mistake, A rest from her studies, scarce ever will take. STEARNS, MARJORIE The teachers have at sometimes feared, of voice she'd been forsaken For it, as well as she, are as quiet as they make 'em. THARP, FLOYD A gridiron hero well known in the state, But for football C-'I 'tis said would have quit in 'O8. VEIT, ERNEST Seems to be indifferent to boys and girls alike, Has a smile for most occasions, be they gloomy ones or bright. Senior Class SO O N our Senior days and our school life will be behind us. Each of us will choose a different path and venture out into the world to seize the op- portunities it offers and accomplish our work in the best possible manner. The school has formed its opinion of us and decided just what we have meant to it. We, in tum, must decide what the school has done for us. l'm sure we have all enjoyed every one of our years in High School. We have worked devotedly and played in the same spirit. The details of our school life are too numerous to mention here. But for fear we might become too con- ceited in regard to our famous class, we here give the opinions of others concem- ing us, and follow the advice of the poet: O, wad some power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as ithers see us! especially the faculty. The name Senior indicates, as very properly it should, the position the class has made for itself in the High School. For the Seniors are the stay and dependence of their teachers, and an invaluable aid to their work, by a habit of always being on the right side of all questions. They are elder brothers and sisters of the other classes, a little inclined to snub the pretensions of the juniors, but submitting with kindly patience to the devotion and admiration of Sophomores and Freshman, while they cheer these little ones on their hard way, by pointing them to the fact that they, too, may some day be Seniors. Oh, distinctly l remember how they pondered long and weary Over statesmen and explorers long since dead, There were bills, wars, treaties, current events quite often Bringing forth discussions serious, mirth provoking, From the two and two score lads and lassies Of the noblest, nerviest of all classes. Now the object aimed and sought for By our dear departed heroes was to conquer, love and honor. But the object of our Seniors was to firmly clinch the facts of history And they did it, yes-they did it, with the spirit and the dash Characteristic of the naughty class. The following remarks on this class are limited to those members who are in the Latin course, twelve in number. The writer owes not a few gray hairs to his incessant worry over the problem of coaxing, leading, or driving the Vergil class to complete the stipulated amount of reading for the year. Not that he can complain of the work of the class, it has done fully as well as any Vergil class he has ever taught. But its ideas and his have habitually differed on the point of the number of lines it was reasonable to expect for one day's preparation. Enthusiasm was displayed but sparingly. However, there 'were times, es- pecially when Howard was giving one of his inimitable translations, when even the settled gloom on the face of Ernest would be replaced by smiles-audible ones. 'Tis really too bad that some of those unique translations were not pre- served. Howardls were the most original and distinctive, but nearly every member of the class has perpetrated at least one memorable effort. The writer must admit that he really enjoyed the work and believes that most of the class can say that they have received both pleasure and profit from the study of the great Roman epic. Bald ist es in Schule still und leer, Schon weinen viele der Schuler, Wie ausgestorben wird es umher, Warum wird jeder jetzt truber? Woruber sind alle so schweigend und trub? Was ist, ja wohl, geschehen? Nun, Freienzeit ist wieder hier, Die Alteren werden fortgehen. Sie konnten vot Hauptwortern die Klassen sagen Und Zeitworter gut konjugieren, Fleiszig und genau alle Aufgaben schreiben, Wollten, ja immer, studieren. Die Zeit vergeht, doch nicht das Leid, Das tragt man ewig im I-lerzen, Doch denkt an die gute, schone Zeit Und laszt sie nimmer vergessen. A Song of NaughlfYl-Nine. September's dawn was breaking On the high school's sombre pile, And a famous class on waking. Braced up to walk a mile, The sun was in the sky, Their motto Do or dieg So they marched into line, The class of Unaughtfyj-ninef' Not long are they in making The High School halls their own. E'en as freshmen, never quaking Too bashful to be known, Now they'd kick a tender shin, E'er the term could well begin, Of any who might stray In the way of Mnaughtlyj-nine. If as freshmen they were bold, Then their sins as Seniors grown, One short song cannot unfold. But just here, be it known, That when Lincoln holds a sack, Or the doors won't go back, Or we long for the gong, All blame the Unaughtfyl-ninesf' lf a jolly crowd were trolling Cheer! Cheer! The gang's all here,'l Or, She rambled, she rambled came rolling, As a tramp, tramp, tramp, came near, The teachers looking out, Sighed, Alas! there is no doubt, 'Tis the noise of the boys, Of the class of naughtfyj-nine! Now, alas! the days are past When we'll study side by side, And they've gone all too fast, And leave too much untried 1193. But their rank was always high, So let bygones go by. Let them pass with a glass To the class of 'fnaughtlyj-nine. iWith apologies to Oliver Wendell Holmes.1 Class Play, 1909 THE Seniors again decided to present a class play under the management of Mrs. Ryan, who so successfully directed The Crazy ldea last year. lt is firmly believed that the Class of '09 will surpass its predecessors in this, as in everything else. The play selected is, Why Smith Left Home. A bubbling farce in three acts.

FLORENCE SUTHERLAND FRANK RYDF.R RUTH GROFF Vice President President Secretary Junior Class WRlTE not praise for thejuniors. You all know their merits. The good they have done is evident. The bad, there is none. They are not trying to live up to a standard but vice versa. The Seniors have told you we are small, but we have qulity rather than quantity. For whoever saw a junior caught lunching in the laboratory, or a fudge feast broken up by the science pedagogue? Whoever saw ajunior slum ber when Cicero was extolling the remarkable virtue, the unsurpassable cour age and the extraordinary leadership of some one long since dead? I say whoever heard such eloquent speeches as, Perhaps if you will not make quite so much noise, you can see a little betterf' and, Yes, there will be a fire one of these days, but some of you will be fired. The juniors are faithful to their studies. Oft have we choked down the pi that Physics has served. Oft have we pondered o'er the Geometry that comes so readily to the Seniors in our classes. We have up and doing officers: Frank Ryder, presidentg Eva Lambert, vice-presidentg Ruth Groff, secretaryg all very capable of handling large sums for we have over thirty cents in our treasury. Our colors are gold and white, a sort of sunshine to the High School that drives away the gloom. But they must be kept from sight, as the school board has decided thus. Get not the impression that we are slow if m-u-m is the word to which all classes must subject their tongues. And now in closing we ask you not to follow in our tracks as that would prove too difhcult for those who are not juniors. H. J.

Maroon and white and gray and blue are worn some, but are not as popular as those flrst mentioned. Notes are not as popular as they were last year. The stage whisper has taken their place. Mourning has gone out of date, owing to some being very prejudiced against it. - It seems to be quite the style for teachers fmalej to wear their hair bobbed, although it is still proper to arrange the hair in a curl on the top of the head. For some who have thin hair and a bald spot on top of the head, it may be well to part the hair in the middle and keep it combed flat. The expressions, So much for that, and As a matter of fact, are rather out of date, and You may deposit your gum in the waste basket and Are you catching all of that, so and so? seem to be more popular. Afternoon lunch has become a fad again. The favorite dish seems to be fudge. 4 Hymn ? ff' A415533 A. 1 ' X T-X: Kann, ' 'W' 'ax lW f,hN4 guf ' ' U, A -f N tix V ,fifffllldx WM div fy w'1ffMM!'M., K ,, ,4 , 'Ki 'rsvfib- 7 J' 7- Q!

AS Freshmen, we were distinguished in many ways. We were the largest class, numerlly, and in our own estimation, intellectually, to bear that title in the history of the high school. We were the last Freshmen to help fill the brilliantly gas-lighted halls of the Dodge building with confusion, and the first to adom the office and front seats of the new. ln the second week injanuary, 1908, the polished, classic halls of the new building first echoed to the loud neckties and noiseless footsteps of our ninety-nine members. Our natural brilliancy, prior to this, had been obscured, in part, by a haze of bashfulness occasioned by the excessive reminders by the upper classmen of our verdure, But now unhampered, we developed into proud and haughty Sophomores and gained our present reputation. The year 1909 began for us with an election. After several long and heated arguments, much discussion and general confusion, order was restored from the chaos by Miss Edith Boeck, who, in the melee, had been elected president of the class for the Sophomore year. Florence Wells was then elected vice- president and Candy Dennon, Secretary. At our next meeting, held for the purpose of selecting class colors, blue and gray were chosen, and we decided to have a class party. Although no detailed account of the proceedings of our only social function has ever been made public, it must be credited as a veritable success, for not fewer than three of our most talented girls captured steadies through its help. The High School Glee Club, whose vocal stunts were said to be without an equal, was composed of twelve Sophs and two Seniors. The Public Worrier, which was unanimously voted a success, was en- acted by a cast of Sophomores, ajunior and a Senior. Our local Declamatory Contest was easily won by one of our members, and he now exhibits with pride the gold medal won by him in the Central Ne- braska Declamatory Contest at Kearney. Although most of our time is given to mental gymnastics, whenever we do join in the athletic stunts, we are soon well-known in the high school world. The invincible '08 eleven would have surely proved to be an invisible '08 eleven but for the numerous touchdowns of our Kegl' fullback. Our giant guard was also an important member. The team has a very favorable outlook for '09, with our '08 fullback for its captain. We did not go in very vigorously for basket ball, only two Sophomores be- ing on each of the teams. The stars of the base ball squad and the track team are sure to be Sopho- mores. ln naming some of our accomplishments, we do not wish our readers to in- fer that we are the whole thing, but only an essential element. Our number, though diminished by understudy and removals, still stands at Seventy. F. M.

X' Ill FRESIMHN CLASS MAUD MORLEDGE WALTER SINKE MAY DAHLSTROM Vice President President Secretary Freshman Class E, the class of 1912, left our lamenting grade teachers one bright May morning for the more advanced regions of education. After waiting and wondering for three long months, the great day arrived, and to tell you frankly we were not over-confident of our own abilities and the upper classmen did not assure us of a very pleasant time. Even our insignificant selves were given seats in this mansion of knowl- edge and among all the other famous personages, too. insignificant, if we are, we have ninety-four members and can boast of three wonderful prodigies, Herbert, Elmer and Henry who are really surprising for their age and size, During the second semester we have had two class meetings. At the first we organized, and Walter Sinke was elected presidentg Mae Dahlstrom, vice president, and Maude Morledge, secretary. At the second, we decided on hav- ing our class colors Black and Gold, and to have something doing. Though the upper classmen may think we are of little importance, next year's annual will record more lengthy proceedings of the class of 'l2. MAE DAHLSTROM, '12, Extracts from a Freshman Examination in Physiology Tissue is a soft mushy substance which is in the body. Alcohol causes the heart to beat faster, thus wearing it out. Food is a substance which helps keep up the body and is food for man. Ferment is a trap door at the bottom of the stomach and it works like adoor. An organ is a tube running over all parts of the body and it sends the blood. Cells are all over the body and are like a sponge with little holes in them. The spinal cord is like that of a chicken's neck, it has a whole lot of little kinks on. When the muscles draw air into the body they have reflex action because when they do not draw they are straight but when they do they suck in.

A HlSTORY of the Grand Island Alumni, and a brief discussion as to what the Alumni stands for and should mean to each of its members having been given in previous numbers of the Annual, it will be the object of this pres- ent writing to set forth in all of its glory the Annual Alumni Banquet. About an hour previous to the Banquet proper the guests commenced to assemble, and after performing the arduous task of shaking hands with the in- fant Alumni, who are lined up for inspection and congratulations, enjoy an all 'round social time. It will be noticed that classmates of the same year drift to- gether, and remain thus during the remainder of the evening. Atleast one rep- resentative of nearly every class since the first one graduated in 1883 is to be found. ln a short time the word is passed along that the eatings are about to commence, and the grand march to the festal board begins. And such a feast! An old fashioned country Thanksgiving dinner, though prepared by grandma herself, could scarce equal it. And mention should here be made of the man- ner of service, as well as of that which is served. A score or more of smiling representatives of the fair sex of the city, having been previously trained and in- structed, attend to the wants of the company in a manner most pleasing, and not one mishap of spilled coffee has ever occurred. During the entire Banquet sweet music falls on the listening ear, and it may here be said that the orchestra behind the palms furnishes one of the most delightful features of the evening. Everyone having eaten his fill, plus just a little bit more, the toasts are given, and are most thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present, with the exception of five or six unlucky mortals who happen to be toasters. But then, 'tis noble to suffer, when in doing so we can give pleasure to others. Having disposed of the toasts, the business of the evening is transacted. Officers for the following year are named and other miscellaneous matters disposed of. The Banquet closes with the singing of the Alumni song, and the guests depart with well filled stomachs, having lived over many class scraps and flag-raising contests. To you, who have not yet completed your High School Course, does this not sound most alluring? lf at any time you should be tempted to drop it all, think of the Alumni to which you can some day belong and with renewed cour- age struggle nobly onward. LITERARY SOCIETIES CARL GOEHRING HOWARD PORTER F.STF.Ll..A IVERS Vice President President Secretary The Barrinian Society URING the past year the Barrinian Society has, l think, been more active than ever before. We have enjoyed better music, more dramatic recita- tions, more flowery orations, and more heated debates than either of the other two similar organizations. Indeed it seems as if the greater part of the talent of the High School had been sifted out and collected in this society tit is composed chiefly of Seniorsj. Among our number are found speakers not to be surpassed, and musicians of great merit, both instrumental and vocal. Until after the Xmas vacation our officers were: President, William Niet- feldtg vice president, Henry Vieregg, jr., and secretary, Grace Finch. And they performed their duties in a manner which did credit to the selection of such an intelligent body. When the time came to elect officers for the remainder of the year, three members of the Class of '09 were readily chosen as thoroughly competent. These were, Howard Porter, chief executiveg Carl Goehring, vice executive, and Estella lvers, scribe. Our programs have been both intellectual and elevating, and, although some humor has been permitted, nevertheless all nonsense is carefully avoided. This was accomplished chiefly thru the untiring efforts of our respected and esteemed chaperons, who have staid with us thru thick and thin. Let us forget their gentle admonitions and think of them only with loving tenderness. Even our much beloved principal has been a frequent visitor at our meetings, being some- times unable to restrain himself while a warm debate was in progress. Altogether, the part which the Literary Society has played in our mental development is beyond estimation. The Barrinian Society is dead! Long live the Barrinians. ELLA HUSTON ESTHER CAMPBELL HENRY YUND Vice President President Secretary Abbottonian Literary Society Listen, my friends, and you shall hear Of the A. L. S. in its junior year. junior indeed, but as usual with lagging Seniors, and pushing Freshies and Sophs' in the ranks. NOWHERE does a member of the Grand Island High School so emit rays of brilliancy as in this celebrated society when engaging in the customary ten minutes of parliamentary practice. Each individual is so well instructed along this line that not a sound is heard when a question as to the correctness of a form is brought before the society. Hasten the time when we shall be able to lay articles on the table without dropping them! ln january at our regular meeting, we had an old fashioned spelling match, I was about to say, but it was a ciphering match instead. A jolly good time, as one member expressed it. About examination time, come to the Abbottonian Literary Society, for the Public Worrierf' For the insignificant sum of five dollars he will do the wor- rying, provided you do the cramming. Does not the A. L. S. possessa price - less jewel? lt has been whispered to me that even the Public Worrier has wished for a companion in misery to whom he might carry his troubles, especially on nights when declamatory contests come off, but since on one such an occasion he came home with a shiny yellow medal, it seems best for him to have no competitor in his profession. Debates are out of style in our eminent association this season. Gazing at the clock is in vogue. Minutes are too precious to fill them with speeches. We stand for progress. Junior year did l say? Ah! Only pronounce that magic word presto, and it shall be Senior. L C 'I I JAY THOMPSON FAY MQCULLOUGH FLORENCE CORNFIELD Vice President President Secretary The Dodonian Society HE Dodonian Society was started this year with a large enrollment and still more members came in at the beginning of the second semester. This so- ciety was named for the oracle of Zeus at Dodona, in Epirus where the priests listened for the voice of the god in the rustling leaves of the sacred oak. Our society has certainly proved itself worthy of its name, for do not the members of the other societies come to us when they want advice and help, as the ancient Greeks went to consult the Dodonian oracle? At one of our recent meetings, the program which was to be rendered was published and posted on two attractive posters which were made by one of the members of the society. They proved to be so attractive to some of the members of our sister societies that they could not resist the temptation to steal them. They have never been heard of since, but no doubt they now adorn the room of some Barrinian or Abbotonian as a gentle reminder that he is not in the so- ciety that does thingsfl This is our third successful year. One cause of the societyis success is the willingness of all members to perform duties either as officers or participants in the program. We elect officers twice a year. just before school closed last year the fol- lowing officers were elected: George Bartling, presidentgjay Thompson, vice president, and Florence Sutherland, Secretary. ln the second semester the society was under the supervision of Fay McCulloch, president, Forest l-luyck, vice president, and Florence Cornfield, secretary. t is hoped that next year will see even more enthusiasm displayed by the students and that all who are eligible to the society will take advantage of the opportunities which it offers.

THE work of the Young Women's Christian Association started out vigorously at the beginning of the school year. A very pleasant reception was given in honor of the Freshmen girls at the home of Mary Allan. During the next few months a number of candy sales were held in the lower hall, the proceeds of which went toward paying for the furniture in the rest room, a corner of which is shown in the above picture. An interesting membership contest was then held in which the members were divided into two sides, the purple and the gold. The gold won by three members. On january fifth, at the regular monthly business meeting the above officers were elected. Shortly after that, we enjoyed a visit from Miss Withers, State Secretary of Y. W. C. A., and she conducted an interesting noon meeting, which was a sort of travel talk for all the High School girls. On March fourth a reception for the Freshman girls, who had come into High School in February, was held at Florence Wells' home. Miss Withers was present and everyone had a jolly time. The girls are planning work for next year, and with the help of Missjos- ephine Brown, who will be one of the faculty, hope to make the work more helpful and profitable than it has been in the past. if X I H' X ll SEQ Music THE present High School chorus, composed of about one hundred forty-five Freshmen and Sophomores, is doing excellent work. The bass and tenor parts are stronger than ever before, especially the tenor, which has always been the weakest in numbers. The new book-the Laurel Song Book-has been in use for a year and grows in popularity as the pupils become more familiar with it. It contains both unison and part songs by the best composers. A Glee Club composed of twelve High School boys was organized this year and assisted in an evening entertainment held during the Art Exhibit. It is to be hoped that the boys of the High School will see Ht to continue special work in this line of music, as any High School can be proud of good musical organi- zations. as 45 Q i K High School Orchestra PEPHAPS it might be interesting to quote the Independent as to the orches- U. . .. - - a. The Grand Island High School may boast of having a good orchestra. lt was organized early in the year and has been rehearsing regularly every week. The instrumentation is quite well balanced and the players work to- gether very harmoniously, in every sense of the word. Florence Woolley is an efficient leader and she has been very devoted to the interests of the musical efforts on the part ofthe students. When the orchestra played at adinner given to the members of the dentist's association in convention here, their fame spread abroad to such an extent that a request has come for them to play in Kearney at the Inter High School contest to be held there on April 2nd. The orchestra decided to accept this invitation to Kearney and every mem- ber was able to go. This event was the most pleasant in the history of the orchestra-especially the trip home at two in the morning. just ask anyone in the car that morning if Ross' cornet broke in upon their peaceful slumber, or if they enjoyed the various songs, yells and stunts performed by the never-tired popular orchestra. A few weeks later the orchestra assisted in a musical program at the Bap- tist College. Altogether, the work of the orchestra deserves much credit, and the work has been a constant benefit to the members as well as a pleasure to the High School. The following are the names of the members, with the names of the instru- ments they play: Violins, Florence Woolley, Dorothy Kalman, Mable Sterne, Ralph Alden, Charlotte Kalman. Ethel Watson, Cello, Kenneth Ross: Cornets, Blake Watson, Ross Moore: Clarinet, Mr. Davis: Flute, Carl Coehringg Piano, Grace Finch. f ji. pr xl, f 0 . 4 . 1 , . . ..

For various CPI reasons the work was dropped for a couple of months, but was taken up again in February, when after two night's practice a game was played with K. H. S. Our boys did well considering the amount of practicing they had done. Although they were beaten, the spirit, which had been lacking along this line, was roused. Two more hotly contested games were played this season. With the material now available, a good team ought to be secured for next 5685011 G. I. H. 5. Track Team l 909 LLOYD DAVIS, Manager.

Maud Pflasterer then acted as captain, calling practice games and keeping the girls interested in the work. After much delay the first team was chosen and a game was scheduled with Kearney Normal late in the season. As this was the first game our team had played, and as all of the girls were new players except Maud Pflasterer, this was very exciting. lt was a close and hotly contested game ending with the score of 12 to ll in our favor. The outcome of this first game gave the girls confidence in themselves and their ability to win, and the two games with the Keamey High School showed their strength as a team. The game with York proved that there were others besides our girls who knew something about basket ball. A game is scheduled with Shelton High School for April 29, but this must go to press be- fore the game will be played. G. l. H. S. Football Team SUPERINTENDENT R. j. BARR, Manner.

Alumni - 16 Football '08 IT is needless to rehearse the High School record on the gridiron as it is too well known to need discussion, but, as a little token of remembrance on the part of the school, these few lines will be given. Individual work was carried on during vacation by some of the team, but the squad as a whole first assembled on September 7 and reported for duty. The preliminaries were at once begun and bythe end of the week two teams were working out for places with the regulars. After two weeks of practice a practice game was played with the Baptist College which resulted in a tie, and in which many good and bad qualities of the players were discovered and the latter remedied as far as possible. A few days before the game with K. H. S., the regular team was picked. lt was then composed of five Seniors three juniors, two Sophomores and one Freshman, and with no little difficulty this mixture came out with the weak score of 5 to 0. After this game trouble began, but not as to victories. ln the next seven games that followed there were at least eight of the regular players in the line- up. Five ofthe eight games were played in snow and rainstorms, or else on sloppy fields. At Hastings, Scott, the much needed half, could be seen on the side-lines nursing a carbuncle. In the game with K. M. A., l-luyck and Goehring were found missing as a result of their overstudy, and it was deemed best to retain them until they had recovered. just before the game with Lexington, the cap- tain was very pleasantly surprised by being informed that Ke , the fullback, had rolled down below the black mark in his mental ability andg the teamls only relief was a sub fresh from the beet fields. The results of this game were of little importance, as only one player was laid up on crutches for about eight weeks and several others were not able to report for practice for nearly aweek, but in spite of all the hard luck an undefeated team was our reward. The good team work of the squad was a most important factor which aided in leaving a good record, although individual playing was not lackindg. Much credit should be given to jumbo Tharp, whose bulldog spirit save the team in its hardest games, and who, for three years has played on a winning team. Our ends, Huston and Goehring, played excellent games, without considering the fact that they had had little or no experience be ore. Rouse, another first year player, filled his position at tackle well, and will undoubtedly make a good showing in the future, while jarvis, although not a ferocious man, generally managed to break thru the opponentis line and do more or less damage, Yund and Ryder always make hits at guard's duty, except at Kearney, when the side line attractions are too great to overcome. The snapper's job was held down by Tullb, who could always be depended upon in the most critical moments of a game, ieregg and Scott, who played in the line the previous year, were shifted to the back field on account of their splendid showing and they proved them- selves worthy of the change. It was anything but a pleasure to the team when Huyck was forced to re- tire, as he would undoubtedly have proven good. As for an all 'round sub McCulloch certainly filled the bill, while McGrath and Miars were not given a chance to display their ability. Last, but no means the least, is f'Hans, who has played a star game for four years and is still right there with the goods. As captain of the '08 team he drilled his men faithfully, adding new plays when they were needed and could be carried out by the team. Good team work was the result. His quarter-back runs, punts, and forward passes have helped us to win many a game. Much credit is due to Mr. Davis and Mr. Harding, who donned football suits and practiced with the boys, coaching them and giving much valuable as- sistance. The team thoroughly appreciated the interest they showed in the work. Base Ball '09 NORVAL ETTING, Captain. HAL JARVIS, Manager. LINE UP Pitchers, VIEREGG, WATSON. Catcher, CARR. First Base, ETTING.

On April 16th and 17th, Osceola and Shelby were the rivals. This time we were really successful in winning a game. As the Annual goes to print at this point it is necessary to close, but not without stating that a strong team will be in evidence before the season has far advanced. fQxBLLy1dLQ if L Extracts from a G.

Miss Bloomingdale's discipline sharp ls meant good-naturedlyg She knows just how we ought to act, But our faults we cannot see. Now, Miss Speidel her anger shows, She colors to her hair. When Mr. Ratcliffe is displeased A dee frown shows his care. Miss gtetlefs glance is quite enough She does not need to speak. And Mr. Davis scolds sometimes C-'J And keeps Hou for a week. When Mr. icker's out of sorts He speaks words quick and short. llve told of all, as best l could, I hope no one feels hurt. Two teachers have we, who are gay young men, They both went to Kearney, and oh! what then? Each met a girl, so the story goes- One was a cousin, the other, who knows? Miss F.- Who converted Ireland? Helen J., decisively- Patrick Henry. The old, old song The Wearing of the Green. Nuff sed. BHSEBHLL RFIXIEW 's 3 I 'T Q f ' . 'U Q 3 . lg! N ' 1 , .- f G? f 13 1, ,.,, , . 1 m. 1 ' V M ' .. x V.

KES B X s X9 ' - And the Bell Rung--Stung A Base Ball Story GCNOW, lim 'ere to tell you, said Buck McKee, the old North Tower flag- man, as he lazily stretched his limbs, that there was the durniest game I ever heerd tell of. Hand me over that terbaccer, john, before I tell about them days we used to have at school. Yep, I got to have some kind of 'nerve calmer, or whatever you call it, because I generally get kinder worked up along about the end. I don't like to get dramatic very often, but 'llowing that you come 'round so much and keep me company, and that you have never heerd this here story, I reckon about as how I might as well tell you about it. I guess I'll have time before No. 39 comes hikin' in. But gettin' to the point. You know, before I started in having the rheu- matics, I used to be a right smart good runner, jumper, and pretty nigh an all 'round athlete. Well, when I was goin' to our High School down at Kenzie, us fellers used to kind of like to get interested in them running and jumping matches. But we soon got kind of played out on them kind, so in the spring of '83 we got it into our mental clocks that we could just about pick out a team of mighty good base ball players and 'range a series of games with them Walton chappies, who always thought they could skin anything in the whole country, even countin' them league players. Well, we 'lected Sam Furrow for captain, for we was surer than pie that he would fix up a crackin' good team. Then we wrote some letters to that Walton manager and finally rigged it up that we would play nine games with 'em. The first five games were to be played on their grounds, while the last four we were to get for our town. Well, we won four games and Walton won four, and the last game, and the decidin' one, was to be played on our grounds. We advertised a good two weeks ahead, for we were short quite a bit on Iunds, and therefore were expecting good heapin' crowds. Well, the day came, and say, john, she was a beaut. Sun a-shinin', sky clear as crystal, and a nice, cool, vigorating breeze comin' up over the river and lakes. The Walton Smarties came up on the ll:55 train and a good, big, husky lookin' bunch they certainly wuz. We told 'em to be down to the lot to be ready to play at three o'clock, cause we were kinder figurin' on playin' a tight game and Sam bet Bill Henderson that the game would last eighteen in- nin's, anyhow. Well, we got old Si Blunk's seven-piece band to march up Main street and solicit a little business for us, and l'll tell you,john, I never seen such a crowd in all of Kenzie. Even old grandpa was out all galore on his crutches. Well, she come 'round to three o'clock and the whole lot was jist packed to the brim, just like herring in a keg. And, believe me john, we took in some dough that there day, too. We got old Sam Ferrill to do the umpirinl of the game, and so about ten minutes after three the balloon went up. And the big crowd went up too. Such yellin', and hollerin' and screachin', why,john, a stranger in town would sure a thought that a gang of 'Paches were just turned out of an asylum or bug house. The first man up for Wafton was big Bill Bailey, the heavy man with the stick, But Frank Kelley, our pitcher, struck him out, andthe other two who came after him. We done about the same in our half of the innin', but we saw first base, anyway. Well, things went along this way until the ninth innin', when both sides made a scene. The crowd was now up in the air, if it hadn't been before. Well, it went pretty near, 'one, two, three and out,' for six or seven innin's more, until in the sixteenth, Pretzel Pete got on third base, but, of course, it was just our luck to have Ike Junko up to bat, and as usual, he fanned out slicker 'an a board. But the big holler started in the first half of the nineteenth innin' when the Yale feller from Walton got on third base and their next feller knocked a little pop-up to Ike on short, which l could of caught with my arms and hands tied behind me. But, as usual, he muffed it, and the guy on third came home. That was the limit-the limit, l tell you. We had a general con- ference 'mongst ourselves out on the diamond, and decided to kick lke out of the game and put in Slim Hoover. Well, that made it two to one in Walton's favor, but we had a bat a com- ing. And our last chance, l'm a-tellin' you. We had to win. Yes sir, we had to. The round-up started with Slim at the bat. The crowd wuz wild. Every- one was on his feet by this time. We had to win I tell you. To win, to win, that's what we wanted. Slim knocked a peach'l right over short stop and got to first base on it. Here was a chance. Jumbo Wilson was next up, and put a cracker of a one right 'tween the second baseman's mits, puttin' Slim on second and jumbo on first. Oh, oh, if Pretzel Pete was only next to bat, wouldn't he smash that ball? And wouldn't we win? Win, that's it. Shorty Lane, our next best batter to Pretzel came struttin' up as though he was goin' to knock the ball clean over the ice house. But he got smart and missed the ball three times and struck out. Oh, such a pain! Then came Jonsey, with Pretzel Pete's turn comin' soon. But no good. Jonsey knocked a little pop-up right into the pitcher's hands. Then came our glorious catcher to bat, with Pretzel next up, and knocked a dandy to right field, and putting three men on bases with two men out. Alas, alas. Then came the grand, the glorious, the magnificent Pretzel to bat. Everyone was yellin' with all his might. Weld win? Sure, we would. Why, Pretzel Pete would knock that ball so far that they'd never see it again. Everywhere men, women und children were yelling, 'Smash it, Pretzel,' 'Hit that ball,' 'five dollars if you smash it,' 'Home run, Pretz,' and all such point- ers. But, but, alas, Pretz had one strike on him, one strike, mind you, but a good chance to swat the next one. The pitcher was rattled, the catcher was rattled, but Pretz stood there defiant as Hercules. He'd hit it, sure he would. 'fDad Sullivan bet he would. But, hard luck! Two strikes on Pretz. But the pitcher was rattled. Sure he was. He'd sling Pretz a nice easy one next time, and then wouldn't Pretz win the game? Sure, he would. Why, look, the pitcher is winding up to sling the ball. Look, the ball has left the pitcher's hand. And, remember, three men on bases. Why, he'll hit it. He can't miss it, sir. Why, john, I wanted to bet five dollars he'd hit that ball. Yes, and sure enough, when that was just even with him, Pretz swung and of all the heavy swings you-you-you ever saw, that was it, why -why, he swung so hard' at that ball-well so hard that Pretzel Pete he -he-struc-struc-struck out! W. N. '09. High School Clippings On December 24th, at a joint meeting of the Literary Societies, an interest- ing and entertaining program was given. The Public Worrier,', a one-act farce, was ably presented by a cast of High School pupils. The High School orchestra made its Hrst appearance here. There were other musical and liter- ary numbers and the meeting closed with High School yells and songs. An art exhibit was held February llth and 12th in the spacious, well- lighted halls of the new High School building. On both evenings, good pro- grams were given in the assembly room, which accommodated an audience of nearly five hundred persons. The proceeds were used to procure pictures for the grades as the High School had the full benefit of an exhibitt, a year ago. A Lincoln-Washington program was held at the assembly room on the even- ing of February 22d, the proceeds of which were to pay for a statue of Lincoln for the High School. lt was a very stormy evening and the audience was small but all appreciated the entertainment consisting of songs, drills and orations, given by pupils of the High School. The local Declamatory contest was held on March 22d in the assembly room during the last period of the afternoon. Walter Rauert was given first place and proved his ability as a speaker by winning first in the Central Ne- braska Declamatory Contest at Kearney. The state contest will be held at Al- liance, May llth. As the fall passed by, the Seniors yearned for something doing and on No- vember 4, 1908, a pleasureable excursion to Shimmer's lake was taken. Danc- ing and singing was enjoyed up to a late hour when supper was eaten and a ride home in the moonlight followed. On this trip, one young lady so far forgother- self as tim fall ol? the hay rack, and several of the boys mingled with beer kegs, tempty. On December 8, 1908, another trip to the lake, and skating being fine, all had a merry time. On April 6, 1909, a very jolly time, in spite of the other classes, was had at the home of Harold Prince. Singing and several amusements helped us pass the time away, and when all departed, it was in the early hours of the morning.
