Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1920 volume:

GRANITE CITY FOREWORD. In this volume of the “Granois” we have endeavored to do many things: First — To pay high tribute to cur instructors; Second — To promote and fos- ter good fellowship among the students; Third — To establish the best relations among students and business men of Granite City, whom we thank most heartily for their support in the publica- tion of this annual. Hoping that this contribution of the Class of ’20 will become the milestone which prophecies even a brighter and better fu- ture for the “Red and Black,” the staff sends their sincere greetings to the many readers of the “Granois.” HIGH SCHOOL Page Two Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor Cartoonist Athletics Literary “THE GRANGES ’20” THE YEAH BOOK OF GRANITE HIGH Board of Editors Marjorie Smith Social Mary Jordan TT Humorists Madeline Walter Pershall •� - Richard Rees . . .

The Road to Success is a rough and thorny one. Hard work must be your companion if you wish to succeed. Thomas Edi- son. one of (he greatest men who ever lived, says that “genius is nothing more nor less than two per cent inspiration and nine- ty-eight per cent perspiration.’ Opportunity comes not once, but often. If a man sits still by his fireside and does not rise to admit her, she will not linger, and when she comes again her rap will be fainter until it will finally fade away. All of the greatest men that the world has ever known were among the most industrious. Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the four supreme military geniuses of history is said to have been a man of tire- less energy and a “terrible worker.” We should choose one cer- tain line for our life work, and then direct all our energies to- ward that one purpose, never departing from the rough and thorny road until we reach our goal. We must have patience as we struggle along the Road to Success. We must be continually reaching out toward our goal, but never must we lose patience. We must not, however, be so patient as to believe that “everything comes to him who waits.” because that maxim is only used by indolent people who are always waiting for something to “turn up.” Hope makes life worth living. If we desire to be successful, we must never lose it. It is Hope that blots out the mistakes of yesterday and turns our faces toward the rising sun of tomor- row. The most successful and the most famous people of the world have suffered many disappointments and misfortunes that would crush many of us so that we never would have the cour- age to go on. The man who rises quickly and continues the race is the man who wins. So when you are feeling sad and discouraged, remember that clouds are not lasting, and the sun may break through tomorrow. It is human nature to judge things from their outside appearance. Many people whom other people envy have misfortunes in their lives that we do not know. Vetha Griffin : “In sooth, know not why I am so sad. Merchant of Venice. ' Page Five VALEDICTORY ( Continued ) We must not question the purpose of life. We must listen to that little voice within our conscience that tells us that we are here for a purpose, which will be revealed w r hen the proper time has come. So we might as well make the best of things, and spend our life in the way that will bring real happiness, and not in the way that will bring regret in the end. If you have made a mistake in the past, do not spend your life in grieving over that which cannot now be helped, but make amends as best you can, and then try to avoid mistakes in the future. Now I come to the last and the greatest thing necessary to success. That is self-confidence. If a man does not believe in himself, no one else believes in him and he has lost the battle before he has fought. “Bluff” must not be mistaken for self- confidence. The “bluffer” is conscious of his ow n weakness, and so is everyone else. If a man believes that he will fail, he will surely fail. The only way to gain self-confidence is to believe in your self, in your fellow men, and in God above. Now to everyone here, but especially to each and every member of the graduating class, as we go our separate way in life, and struggle to rise in the world and do something really worth while, I hope that we all shall remember that “Life’s treasures don’t alway go To the stronger or faster man. But soon or late, the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can.” —MARY JORDAN. Kvcrett Lyons: “When there is nothing else to do, 1 study.

DANFORTH Page Nineteen CLASS HIS T O R Y SB 31 Hi After eight years of toil and fun we gained our aim of be- coming Freshmen in Granite High. There were sixty of us. Owing to our number the Seniors ■were glad to let us go unmolested. Oh! How distinctly I remember that first day. We were all standing in the corridor when the bell sounded telling us that school was about to start. We rushed in and took the cen- ter seats, which were nearest and most convenient. After we were seated permanently, as we thought, a man who had been addressing us from the platform asked us to move out of the center rows so the Seniors could be seated. We Freshies then moved to rear and side seats, or wherever we could find one . Everything went smoothly until the war came. Our class, following the example of organizations all over the country, engaged itself in war work. We sewed for the Red Cross, we gave our help to the Y. M. C. A. drives, and aided other organi- zations in their efforts. The events of the year were factors in developing the character of every member of our class. Our Sophomore year sped by rapidly, followed by an event- ful Junior year. This was the year of all years. We purchased books and more books. We were determined we would study and not “fool around,” as we had done the previous years. Again our resolutions were broken, for we skipped classes, we even raised the Junior Colors above the school. Indeed you would be shocked if I should name some of the participants, but of course since they are still surviving, I shall not disclo se their identity. The most important event of our Junior year was an all- day excursion on the Saint Paul, which was given in honor of the Seniors. It was the biggest and best excursion that had ever been given by any Junior class. And a better day could not have been chosen. Of course, we had been watching the weather reports every day, and finally we picked out a day which we thought every one would want. We had no sudden showers to mar our pleasures and it was neither too warm nor too cool. After we reached Piasa Chautauqua, for that is where we stopped off, we had two hours with which to enjoy ourselves in sight- seeing. When the two hours were up, we all went back to the boat and then started for home, and by the time we were back we were all tired, but everyone agreed and that they had net enjoyed themselves on an excursion quite so well as on this one, which of course pleased us exceedingly. At last the long desired Senior year arrived. It was begun with a decreased number of our class roll. We organized our class the third week of school. For President we elected Hugh Krause; Vice President, Sidney West; Secretary, Meta Turley, and Treasurer, Thelma Danforth. K I v i n Wilcox: “A hold l ad mail. Page Twenty Cl ass H istory — Contin ued m m m Early during the year, we were entertained at a “Tacky Party” given by the Juniors. Everyone had a good time and it was a howling success in every way. This year we have accomplished something really worth while, despite the fact that we have worked under difficulties with the double shift plan, a plan adopted because of the crowd- ed conditions in the school, whereby the upper classmen attend school in the morning while the Freshmen come in the after- noon. Because of these conditions we put forth our utmost ef- forts in making this, our last year, the most successful and eventful of all. Our four years were not so long a time, at least not in retrospect, and we know they might have been worse. In writ- ing this history of our existence as the Class of 1920, the thing farthest from our minds is to claim we were very different from other classes. On the contrary, our proudest boast is that we have been perfectly normal. We had some bright students and some who were not so bright, but isn’t it that way in everything? Now it seems that we have come to the parting of way. It is only natural that a bit of gloom should color the background, around Commencement Day, but I think the dominant note Is happiness. We are not happy in leaving the old familiar way, or in severing the old school spirit, memories that must remain joys forever; but our happiness lies in this — that our lifework stretch- es out before us and we are eager to enter on our duties. And thus it is with sadness — with joy too, that we leave these halls where we have added a few lines of history. —MARJORIE SMITH p p p Julius Caesar. Byron Haven: “He is a dreamer; let us leave him.

Page Twenty-three Page Twenty-fou I b s a f e t In practically all lines of industrial endeavor, this country, it is said, has been more reckless and prodigal of human life than any other civilized country in the world. Other countries once had a much higher death rate than they do now. Improve- ment came with years and through sad experience. Yet if the United States has been backward, the fact remains that this country, now that it has started in the right direction, will make rapid progress. Since quick perception of defects and strong application of remedies, have characterized our growth as a nation, in every phase of development, so it will with the Safety First and indeed, has made rapid progress in the great campaign for the welfare of human life. The safety movement in the United States, which began about 1906 or 1907, has spread into every city and hamlet, into every work shop, factory and mine until today it is one of the most potential agencies for good in the entire country. Railroad companies, manufactures and mines now keep a careful record of accidents and these statistics year by year show startling reductions both in deaths and accidents. Such is the situation because corporations have been especially active in accident prevention, having organized safety first committees, employed engineers, and stimulated the interest in greater safe- ty by rewarding foremen and other officials for efficiency in pre- venting accidents and by organizing first aid teams among their employees. Walter IVrshall: “Would he were fatter. Julius Caesar.” 1 71 • , ” 1 r s t m Municipalities have also joined in the campaign. The slogan “Safety First’’ stares at the passer-by from almost every ' con- ceivable place of probable danger. With this movement has come more definite and clearer traffic regulations in cities. Even the crossing policeman has caught the safety first spirit and cautions pedestrians with “Watch Your Step,” “Heads Up,” and “Look Out for Cars!” Impetus and coordination were given to this great work by formation of the National Safety Council in 1912. The organi- zation of which was impelled by the growing need of concerted action by the public for the benefit of human safety. The need arising from this disregard of property, health and life by the ignorant, selfish and lawless, and the increasing number of accidents caused by the growing complexity of our national so- cial and industrial life. The council has accomplished much by its educational pro- paganda not only in reducing the number of accidents in fac- tories, homes and on the streets, but has done much for the improvement of public health. It is bringing the public to realize that “Safety First” means not only “safety from” but “safety for;” that it means the sub- stitution of the sane act for the foolish one, the higher thing for the lower; the safe for the unsafe. Finally safety makes for happiness and usefulness. —MARJORIE SMITH Page Twenty-five Baccalaureate Services May 23rd at 8:00 P. M. Nied. Mem. M. E. Church Program for Baccalaureate Services. 1.

W. receives an in- vitation from Mrs. Pershall, a society matron, formerly Miss Marjorie Smith, asking her to spend a week end at her country estate in Nameoki. After due consideration the invitation is ac- cepted. She is entertained the first morning at breakfast, a very elaborate affair, as Mr. Pershall is the manager of a huge chain of Tri-City Groceries all over the world. Constance McClusky, just back from a missionary trip to China, is the first to arrive. She is escorted by Society’s popular heartbreaker, Irby Todd. Finally the other guests arrive in groups. Meta Turley, great pianist, and Richard Rees, a marvelous grand opera star, en- tertain them. Dr. Wiesman discovers during a conversation with one of the guests that the kindly faced woman who has quietly been talking to a rather severe looking lady is none other than Rosa Dewerf, the matron of an orphan asylum and her compan- ion is Leota Gray, an old maid school teacher and a very good one, indeed. A breezy girl with splendid bearings swings up to Dr. Wiesman and begins to discourse on the advantages of golf- ing. She is Thelma Danforth, the champion golf plaver. A lit- tle stir at the door announces the late arrival of Sidney West and Harry Lewis, one a promient lawyer and the other a senator. They begin chatting to two very stylishly dressed women, Teresa Jones and Ora Holmes, New York’s modistes, who created quite a sensation when they introduced accordian pleated and fringed knickerbockers for women into the fashion world. Just then Mrs. Pershall received a wireless from Everett Lyons who has just succeeded in reaching Mars after years and years of exploring. After a delectable repast the guests depart to prepare for an afternoon at Ringling Bros. Circus. Here they receive quite a surprise when they recognize Alvin Noonan as the lion tamer; William Huber as a miraculous trapeze per- former, and Byron Haven as a clown. After the circus Mr. Mohl- man, a prosperous farmer and his wife, formerly Miss Rose Struense, invites every one to participate in a theatre party that evening. They meet at Pershall’s estate and go from there to the Washington theatre where they are appreciably entertained by Ray Lodwig who has attained great success in the movies as Wallace Reid’s rival. In the middle of the show Miss Madeline Burkstaller, a suffragette, who has achieved success in all her political campaigns against the use of cigars; Miss Muriel Jones, Ray I.odwig: “A devil, a born d -vil. Tempest. () P H E C Y a sculptoress, wlfo after her masterpiece entitled “Fair Morn- ing,” won world renown, and Miss Lucy Lamer, a teacher of aesthetic dancing, join the party. From the theatre they go back to Pershall’s where an after dinner dance is given. Here several more are added to the party; among them, Winifred Draper, champion typist; Mary Jordan, a pretty artist’s model; Vetha Griffin, a successful business woman, and Dorothy Ben- ton, a poetess of renown. They are greeted by the news that Lucille Macleod, who had not been heard of for the last five years since she departed on a yachting trip to the South Sea Islands, has just succeeded in getting into communication with the outer world after reigning as queen during her stay on the island. She promises them some very delightful narratives. There is also a word from Hershal Danforth. President of the U. S., and Hugh Krause, a civil engineer in South America, that they are unable to come. Rumors are afloat that the real reason that is detaining Hugh Krause is a beautiful Spanish Princess. A very energetic little man makes his way to the end of the drawing room and Mr. Pershall tells the guests that he is Mr. Eddie Wilcox, second only to Billy Sunday. Mr. Wilcox delivers a soul stirring sermon on “The Sins of Eating Pret- zels.” He seems to have a very enthusiastic support in George Coolidge, an absent minded college professor, who is ruled with a rod of iron by his able handed wife. A great surprise is af- forded the guests when Constance McClusky and Irby Todd an- nounce their engagement. Later the lights are turned low and to the strains of a soft dance a beautiful dancer floats from be- hind velvet hangings and Dr. W. is told that this is Arline Chappee, the solo dancer of the Mueller Follies, a musical show, formerly the Ziegfield Follies, now owned and operated by Ro- land Mueller. As a last feature of the evening Mr. Pershall leads his guests into a dark room and here is found a miniature model of Granite High School and above this a banner with this inscrip- tion: “Class of Twenty.” It is here that this class, the class with real school spirit, decide to come together every year at this time. Amid much laughing and talking and promises of future meetings the class departs at a late hour. —HELEN LOUISE WIESMAN Page Twenty-eight ATHLETIC- GQ ffi Aillne (iinppee: “To know her is to love her. 1919-20 The fall of 1919 seemed to bring with it unusual prospects for a successful year in athletics. Six letter men returned ta school along with several very excellent candidates thus furn- ishing good material for basket ball. The athletic association was reorganized with Ray Lodwig as president; Walter Pershall, secretary; L. G. Baker, treasur- er and coach. It was then decided to hold a class tournament. Bach of the upper class teams were determined to win and at the end three teams tied, viz: Senior, Junior, and Sophomores. The tie was not played off so the three teams consider them- selves winners. m The real season opened with O’Fallon as the opposing team. The line-up for this game was: West, 1. f., Rees, r. f.. Krause, c., Capt. Harris, 1. g.. and Francis, r. g. The subs included Schlecte, Frohardt, Chappee. This team played several victorious games and then old man Jinx, the deadly enemy of all athletic teams, seemed to get a firm hold upon them. A splendid position was offered Frank Harris, the captain, and he accepted it, leaving the team short of a good fast player. Sidney West was forced to leave the team due to an injury to his knee. This left the team in a very crip- pled shape. Along came the flu and seized Hugh Krause, cen- ter, as one of its victims. Good luck did not leave us entirely for Roland Mueller then appeared upon the scene of B. B. and our problem w r as partly solved. We lost several games but after Page Twenty-nine ATHLETICS IK the team was reorganized we began to win. The new line-up consisted of R. Mueller. 1. f., Reese, r. f„ Hugh Krause, center. Alois Schlecte, 1. g.. and W. Francis, r. g. and newly elected captain. Under the competent supervision of our faithful coach, L. G. Baker, we were again victorious at Bdwardsville and the team started on a winning streak. The games lost by the team ended in close scores and were very interesting. On February 7, 1920, the Principals and B. B. Coaches met at Bdwardsville and made final preparations for a two-county B. B. tournament to be held at Collinsville, February 20-21, 1920. The eight teams entering were: Alton, East St. Louis, Highland, Bdwardsville, O’Fallon, Collinsville, Belleville and Granite City. Granite met Edwardsville in their first game and it was a hard fought battle. The O’Fallon game was easy for the Granite five and the championship game w r as between East St. Louis and Granite City. This was a close game but Granite City was vic- torious. The school received a banner and each man on the winning team a medal. Our next trip was to the district tournament held at Central- ia The first two games were perfect slaughters, most of both iienrge- Coolldge: “Full many a la lv. I’ve eyed wltfi the best regard. Tempest.” Continued m games being played by the subs. On Friday evening we played O’Fallon and were defeated by a score of 35-33. Our basket ball season closed with the tournament and we feel it has been a most successful year. Here we will enjoy a revue of the members of the team: Walter Francis, captain and guard, is one of the steadfast men of the team. Walt, is right on the ball every minute of the game. As captain he handled the team in a very easy manner and won the admiration of all. Roland Mueller is a foul thrower and forward. “Nutzy” has a splendid record for foul shooting and field baskets and plays the game as though his life depended upon it. Richard Reese, forward, fast on foot and always near the basket ready for the ball. Dick is good on long shots, too. Alois Schlecte, guard, knows the game and what he is ex- pected to do. It is very seldom that any one gets by him to throw the basket. Alois was also good at jumping center. Hugh Krause, center, who is six feet tall, has the advantage of the tip-off, and has a good opportunity for giving signals. “Bird” is also good at throwing baskets.

Page Thirty-two Page Thirty-thre� Granois ' 2 0 Staff Meeting. During the time in which the staff of the Granois’20 was putting forth its utmost effort toward making this book a success, a so-called “meeting” was held at the home of Walter Pershall. All the staff members were present, and Miss Marie Reintges was guest of honor. After the important matters of business had been discussed, Margery Smith made the piano “talk;” Joe Waldt took his exer- cises on the trombone, and Ray Lodwig “sweat” over his “cornet.” “Take it Slow and Easy” was so irresistably played that in a very few minutes the dignified staff members were “full o’ pep.” Rugs were rolled back and the “dance was on.” The victrola was kind enough to give the or- chestra a rest and a chance to “step ’em off.” Later in the evening, a delicious lunch- eon was served, at which time, the fact was made evident, that work and play are great appetizers. After that, the merry-makers quieted down slightly and were delight- Sidney West: “Comb down liis hair, look! Look, it stands upright. Henry VI.” fully entertained by “Purdy” himself, who rendered several beautiful selections upon his Hawaiian guitar. At a late hour, the jolly bunch departed, declaring Walter a most gracious host, and that the evening had been most delight- fully spent. Junior-Senior Party. f On November 7, 1919, the Junior Class entertained the Class of ’20 to a Hallowe’en tack party. The gym was artistically- decorated for the occasion and black cats and bats were plenti- ful. Many and novel were the costumes. Many games were played and the fortune telling booth was very popular. The prizes were carried off by Frank Harris and Elsie Huxel. Re- freshments consisting of sandwiches, ice cream, soda, dough- nuts and apples, were served. All departed at a late hour, de- claring the Juniors royal entertainers. Page Thirty-four WEALTH m Centuries ago it was written that a camel could pass thru a needle’s eye with more ease than a rich man could enter the Kingdom of Heaven. A mis-interpretation of the idea contained in this statement has developed thru the ages into a popular belief that all rich men are destined to perdition. That this feeling is widespread cannot be denied by those in touch with the times. Prejudice against the millionaire is evident on all sides except perhaps in social circles where he is sought by those who would climb by his aid. Does the rich man aspire to serve his country, state, or city, there are those ready to accuse him of graft. Does he essay to be a teacher of morals or religion scof- fers are at hand to question his motives. et the dominant ambition of every wide-awake man is to control money. The amount desired varies, but the difference is one of degree only. The small boy with his paper route or lemonade stand, the high school lad with his after school and Saturday job, both work to control more money than their class- mates. Our colleges are filled with young men seeking knowl- edge to fit themselves for business or the more lucrative pro- fessions. Statistics show that the number qualifying for the ministry and teaching is steadily decreasing. Time was when the opportunities for service in these professions was an import- A inifred Draper: “Her stature tall, I hate a stumpy woman.” FOR m SERVICE m ant factor in choosing them, now this appears to be negligible when weighed against the chance to make money. A young man’s success seems to be judged by dollars and idealism slips out of his life in the mad scramble for money. Until recently the chief end of the successful American ap- peared to be the creation of wealth for wealth’s sake. Having emerged from the struggle to secure mere competence, he pro- ceeded to make a fortune, he doubled it and became a millionaire then still uncontent became a multi-millionaire. By this time he had acquired the habit and continued a helpless victim of money-mania until the end, leaving his vast wealth to be quar- relled over by his heirs, himself soon to be forgotten. His life was like the eternal cycle of the old farmer who toiled to raise more corn, to feed more pigs, to buy more land, to raise more corn to feed more pigs. Arnold Bennett has said, “That man is rich who has the means to get whatsoever he wants and who does get it.’’ The difficulty of the man of resources is in finding just w hat he wants. He may think he wants large estates, he separates himself from the w r orld by doors, gates, miles of drives, lodge keepers and numberless menials. He may think he wants a two thousand ton yacht that he may cross the ocean privately tho less quickly, less comfortably and perhaps less privately than on a large Page Thirty-five- WEALTH FOR SERVICE— Continued EH a SB ocean liner, or he may keep a private orchestra instead of being seen at public concerts; all of which is anti-social and foolish and is secretly felt to be so by the man himself. Today, in all American cities that are developing centers, either of learning or industry, the man who is no bigger than his bankroll is regarded as a poor citizen and a hindrance to the community. It is expected of him that he show a sense of responsibility in his wealth. Yearly more Americans are spend- ing deliberately as they go, not in shallow pleasures but in generous gifts to such objects as commend themselves as worthy of assistance. This is abundantly shown in subscriptions of every conceivable object which premises results for human wel- fare. They give as they go knowing well they cannot pass that way again. A long list of such philanthropists comes readily to our minds: Leland Sanford, Cecil Rhodes, Armour and Rockefeller, all of whom have given vast sums for educational work. Only a few months ago was the secret benefactor of Boston Tech, discovered in the person of Robert Eastman, inventor and maker of kodaks. Eastman was obliged to leave school when only in the grades but he has given over $10,000,000 to make Boston the finest technical school in the world. John Hopkins Medical School, Barnes and Bellvue Hospitals are memorials of other big-hearted men. Shaw’s Gardens of St. Louis afford pleasure and instruction to thousands; Helen Gould Shepard and Anna Morgan are notable women of wealth, the latter giving not only money but her life as well to the rehabitation work among our soldier lads. Other things that are favorite recipients of benev- olence are libraries, Carnegie and Pratt being the chief givers; churches, public parks, play grounds and many sorts of com- munity buildings. A very admirable example of the charitable tendency of the rich, which it must be admitted is more significant of the future than typical of the present, was the disposition recently made of their large fortune by two noted American surgeons, the Mayo brothers, of Rochester, Minn. These surgeons, knowm throughout the civilized world, in 1915 endowed the University of Minnesota with $2,000,000 as a permanent gift, 10 per cent of its income to be spent in research outside the state. In speak- ing of the gift Dr. William Mayo said, “We never regarded the money as ours. The money put in this foundation came from the people and to them it should return. This w r as our father’s attitude in life.” That simple but no less noble conception of responsibility for the administration of wealth and its true owmership will stand as a foundational expression of that exalted idea which is coming more and more to dominate the really great American the ultimate goal of whose wealth is service. — G.

SMITH During our High School years we have been looking forward to the time when our school would become a Community High School. This past year the needs for a change in our school have been more pronounced than ever before. This is due to the rapid growth in school population exceeding the growth of our financial resources. Since our High School is not half the size it should be, we have had to resort to the double shift plan to provide for the present enrollment. But our hopes have not been in vain, because on Saturday, April 17th, an election was held and the question of a Community High School was voted upon. The issue was carried by over a thousand majority. So in the near future our school will bo larger and better in every way than before.

His fond parents almost immediately named him Hugh George, adding, of course, the family name Krause as a matter of form. (Notice the manly little face on the upper left hand corner of this page) ; t his was taken when small Hughie had cut his first tooth. The frown he wears is characteristic of all great men of today. The picture on the right shows young Hugh grown from babyhood into young boyhood. It w r as during this age that he developed a keen appreciation for basket ball, as you see he holds a ball in his hand. The coat he wears is a true Washing- ton model which is one of the things which accounts for his success in the late war. But as Hugh grew older he developed a great thirst for knowledge. So packing his little nightie and tooth brush in his red bandana he timidly approached Granite High. Four years elapse and in the center picture, you see Hugh, the man and president of his class, as he stands before the Senior Class of ’20. He has just finished one of his heart thrilling speeches, but lo! , he stops to cross his legs for he has just thought of that big hole in His stocking. Many hearts lay low at his feet, nothing above his shoulder. (Signed) SOMEONE WHO KNOWS. Page Fifty-two AN ORIGINAL SI M A Mysterious Case and its Solution. “Yes he is generally like this and at the worst not often dangerous, hut sometimes he is boisterous.” Such was the re- ply I received from the attendant of a man whose actions had attracted my attention. I had seen the pair strolling under the trees in the grounds of the private sanitarium at different times and was often moved to wonder. The unfortunate man was really handsome. He was tall and well built, his heavy black hair waved back from a broad, white forehead. His face was well formed and had it not have been for a strange light which played in his large brown eyes, might have been considered very intelligent. He appeared to be quite young and the awfulness of this made me shudder. The man in whose company he was walking, after answering me as I have told you, moved on, and I not wishing to seem rude or inquisitive said no more, but determined to learn more of the case that seemed so strange and pitiful. There was little to be learned from them. Their knowledge consisted of these few ' facts: The young man’s name was Etherington Wilmerson, his age a little less than 22. He was of a family of some prominence. They, of course, were deeply grieved at his misfortune and spared no means to bring about his recovery. The thing that puzzled the doctors most was a state of nervousness into w hich ha was thrown upon seeing any one seated at a writing table. His breakdown, it w r as thought, had been brought on by over-study. This theory w r as shattered, however, after his STORY EB records at the college w ' here he had been in attendance had been traced, for it was learned from them that although he was a good student he did not spend so much time in study that one with a mentality so strong as he seemed to possess should be over-come. In addition to this it was learned that among his courses he showed a strong preference for literature. His par- ents confirmed this, adding that he had w ' ritten numerous poems for pastime, but none of striking merit. Aside from this there was little to be learned except that his recovery might be as sudden as his breakdowm had been. With that I w ' as forced to satisfy myself as best I could. My visit in towm ended and I left after asking the doctor w ' ith wdiom I had visited the sanitarium to inform me if any- thing of interest should develop. It w-as some months later that I received a letter from him saying that the young man had entirely recovered and was about to return home. He added that if I cared to come I might have the opportunity of interviewing him. A few r days later I called to see him and after being intro- duced by the doctor ,w ' ho had casually arranged the meeting, w r e sat dowm by the grate in his room. He w-as greatly changed, for the uncertain look in his eyes had given way to one of absolute self control. He show r ed no hesitation in mentioning the state from w ' hich he had recently Pare Fifty-three AN ORIGINAL STORY— Continued ffi SB U recovered and told me that since his accustomed mental poise had returned he had found life rather irksome and was very glad to receive visitors. Then, much to my satisfaction, he added that the doctors found some interesting facts in his case and suggested that they might interest me. I assured him I would be very grateful for any light he might throw upon his case which had proven so puzzling. 1 will set the story down as he told it to me: “The breakdown from which I have recovered was not the result of any inherent nervous weakness, so I feel little appre- hension of its return. The cause was not overwork, indeed I am not that industrious. I will tell you the cause to which I attribute it. You may then judge whether or not you think it sufficient to bring on such dire results. It all came from my love for wasting time in writing poetry and a habit of carelessness. I hardly know which to place the more serious blame upon. The latter is responsible for my being brought to grief so soon. “One evening I was scribbling and among some things which I had written were some lines to a young lady, who was a very special friend of mine, another was an epitath which I had been requested to write for a friend who had died some time before. “I went to bed leaving these two papers which I did not intend to destroy among some others of questionable importance. The next morning upon arising I addressed two envelopes. Into the one addressed to the young lady already mentioned I put a paper at which I had glanced. The title read: ‘To my be- ing in haste I waited to read no more but sealed it in the letter. Into the other I put a paper at whose title I had likewise glanced and had read: ‘Epitath on .’ I waited to read no more but sealed it in the envelope to be sent to the mother of my deceased friend. “The letters were no more thought of after being posted until two or three days later I found a letter at the post office from the lady to whom I had sent the epitath. I went to my hotel and opened it expecting to find it filled with thanks for I had written a verse which I thought hardly to be excelled. This however, is what greeted my eyes: ‘Sir:- I am returning the verse sent. Perhaps you think it fitting. I do not. My son. Wil- liam, was not one to warrant such insinuations. If you believed such to be true I would at least have considered you too much of a gentleman to write so cutting a thing to his mother.’ The re- turned paper had fallen to the floor. I picked it up and found it to he the first verse of Robert Burn’s Epitath on Holy Willie which reads: ‘Here Holy Willie’s sair worn clay, Takes up its last abode, His soul hath taken some other way, I fear the left hand road.’ “You may be able to imagine to a very small degree how I felt, but to be in that position was infinitely worse. “The awfulness of this had hardly struck me with its full force when one of my friends passing down the hall opened the Page Fifty-four AN ORIGINAL b a door and threw in a letter saying that he had gotten it at noon and intended to give it to me then, thus saving me a trip to the office; but had been prevented from doing so. “This was the reply I supposed (after looking at the post mark) to my other poem. Here at least 1 expected some conso- lation. I almost collapsed when I opened it and found it to be of a tone, similar to the other but far too painful for me to repeat here. Upon examining the returned paper I read: “ ‘To My Nocturnal Serenader.’ It consisted of some lines which I had written and dedicated to a cat whose custom it was to sing to me at night and from a nearby fence until I was fortunate enough to locate his position with a book, shoe, or some other convenient missle. It ran like this: ‘How often has your piercing voice at evening Fallen with all its harshness on my ears, The times are many; oh: they have no number. My suffering sometimes moves me most to tears. ‘I can endure the braying of a long eared fellow ' Whose voice so lashes up the w r aves of sound, But when you start your nightly yowlings, I pray that near, I never more be found. ‘Sometimes at night altho my eyes are shut I see Your eyes with their feline fire ablaze, Then in my dreams I feel I’d like to kill you In forty-nine or fifty different ways.’ “There w ' ere a few more verses of like quality which I will not tax myself to repeat . Continued m “That was almost too much for me. I saw that there must have been some mistake so I rushed to the waste basket and found amon g its contents the lines w ' hich I had intended to send in the letter. I then saw the aw ' ful price indulgence in my care- lessness had cost me. I w r as stunned. From the tone of the let- ters I had just read it seemed quite plain that explanations w ' ould not be easy to make. I made up my mind, how ' ever, to try and would not probably have been any the worse for my experience, but then came the last straw ' , the straw that broke the camels back. “After the dire results my literary efforts had brought me I received that same evening a notice, saying that I w ' as on the program to read an original story at the meeting of the literary society of which 1 w r as a member. I crumpled up that notice, and threw it into the fire, and flung myself upon the bed in my room. Something seemed to snap and all was a blank until recently.” Young Wilmerson ended his account with this question: “Was not that enough to shatter even the strongest nerve?” I now- pass the question on you. —ROYAL REISXER, “Author.” Page Fifty-five CLASS OF 1920 Name Nick-name By-word Hobby Favorite Song Ambition Destination Herstaal Danforth Wart Now, listen here Big words Stockyard Rag Governor Dancing instructor Teresa Jones Scissors Isn ' t he the cutest thing Smiling I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles Million Dollar Baby Manicurist at Deacon’s Byron Haven Doc.

You draw on the wits of the nation, To better the barn and the pen; But what are you doing, my brothers, To better the breed of men? You boast of your Morgans and Herefords, Of the worth of a calf or a colt, ' And scoff at the scrub and the mongrel, As worthy a fool or a dolt; You mention the points of your roadster. With many a “wherefore” and “when,” But, ah, are you conning, my brothers. The worth of the children of men? And what of your boy? Have you measured His needs for a growing year? Does your mark as his sire, in his features, Mean less than your brand on a steer? Thoroughbred — that is your watchword. For stable and pasture and pen; But what is your word for the homestead? Answer, you breeders of men! A constant drop of water wears away the hardest stone. The constant gnawing Towser masticates the toughest bone.

UZZELL A certain cow, though pastured in bountiful meadows, was attracted by the more tempting appearance of distant fields. Shunning the abundance at hand, she wandered afar, always finding the new spots less appetizing an d less plentiful, and always leaving them untasted for the new fields inviting her on. Growing hunger only spurred her on until finally, exhausted by it, she fell to the sands of a desert whence she never again arose. People who shun the stores at home because of the allurements of those in larger towns often find themselves getting less than they expected. Get in the habit of seeing your local dealer first. If he hasn’t what you want, he will gladly get it. You ' ll be helping him to serve you better by helping him to make it pay.
