H. S.-you would not recognize them now as the eminent and all-important class of '20, In that, its freshman year, the class was duly represented in the Glee Clubs, Orchestra and Declam, and a large per cent of the Girls' Athletic Association were Freshmen. An active interest was also taken in Y. M. and Y. W. The next year the members of this class came back to school with a much better opinion of themselves and even presumed to play tricks on the F1'eshmen. One of the class, John Talbott, made the de- bate team. The English IV classes under the able supervision of Miss Holloway put on a farce which although not presented before the As- sembly, was given for several other audiences and greatly enjoyed by all those who heard it. The members of the class musically inclined were allowed to give vent to their feelings in orchestra and glee clubs. The Junior year of the class of '20 was an important one in its career. It was then that Louise Moyle won first in the Final Declama- tory Contest and Paul Porter was added to the debate team. The class was organized and several social fun.ctions put on including the banquet for the class of '19. They improved in athletics as well as in social vir- tues, several members getting on the football team. And now we come to the last and most impressive scene of all when the class enters school in the fall of 1919. All its members are now full-fledged, dignified Seniors to be looked 'up to with awe and res- pect by the underclassmen. The class of '20 began to shine in athletics, seven of the football heroes and four of the basketball men belonging to it. In the inter-class series' the Seniors came out second in both track and basketball. Six of seven debate men are Seniors and Seniors repre- sented the school in all the Iowa Nine Contests. All the social activit- ies of this class have been exceptionally good. The Annual Board Farce was a great success financially as well as theatrically. A good cast of characters for the class play, Green Stockings, insures a success in that too. A good many numerals have been earned for scholarship, decla- mation and athletics. The class of '20 leave Grinnell High School with an enviable record, a goal for succeeding classes to strive for. . -E. M. H.

A large amount of local talent was discovered and was greatly appreciated by a large and interested audience.

B oys of Junior Class The first selection which was fearfully rendered by Principal M. G. Davis was the hit- of the occasion judging by the delight of all when he left the stage. Ed Carter's beautiful contralto voice .caused many a feminine heart to flutter as did George Paul's rendition of the appealing hymn You'd Be Surprised. The Female Quartette accompanied by the Simp-phony O1'chestra scored a hit and gave We're So Funny for an encore. The instrumental numbers were very effective, especially Ray Lamb's Mouth Organ selection which touched the heart of everyone. The whole program showed the time and effort which Prof. S. L. Some- where spent in choosing and training the talented Juniors.-R. E. B. Page Thirty-seven X X ff Z X0 IX-J H10 17 x I U9 trllffzl-'TQ74 X' ff 2k if I .,'.' fr K' i .

During the first short cruise it successfully weathered the num- erous storms and dangerous currents which vessels of its distinctive color always encounter. Among other dangers of the deep, it has met and vanquished those bold buccaneers, Shakespeare and Julius Caesar. The latter drove the ship into the terrible Latin Current which almost dashed the unfortunate vessel against the Reefs of Failing List. In the treach- erous Gulf of Scholarship its supremacy is unchallenged. With praise- worthy .care it has avoided the Fogs of Grammar along the English Coats. Once it was driven by the adverse Winds of Numberless Dates into the History Whirlpool. Again, it was becalmed in the Spring-fever Harbor. At last it sailed into the b'ue and quiet Harbor of Fun, dotted with flow- ery isles, one of which is Picnic Island. On this island most of the crew became enamoured of a lovely Siren, whose name is The Temptation to Shirk, and were so very reluctant to leave her that they had to be forcib- ly ejected from the island by the pilot. Later they disembarked in Athletic -Land and sent an expedition into the interior. Under the guidance of those well-known explorers, Mac Friend and the two little Lambs, the flag of 1922 floated victor- iously on the Very highest point of Basketball Mountain. On Football Field they swept up honors with re.cord-breaking promptness. Last, but not least, its famous sprinter, Ray Rivers, fairly 1'an to plant his banner on the plateau they call Track.

Even that formidable vessel known as' the Senior Class has been utterly unable to extinguish the spirit of this little vessel, yea, it has even been forced to acknowledge its existence. And now having completed its second momentous cruise, its bril- hant color has faded and it has the highest hopes of gaining, in the course of time, that safe harbor .called Diploma and also a coat oil paint. .

' GI The Y. W. like Ivory Soap is nearly one hundred per cent pure as almost all the girls in High School are members of this organization. They hold meetings every other Wednesday, some religious, others get- together. The Mothers' Meeting was the most notable oil' the latter. All the girls' mothers were invited to come to a program put on by the girls themselves and meet their daughters friends and teachers and the moth- ers of other girls in High School- Musicals were substituted for two regular meetings and Shoe, Hair and Dress Suggestions took the place of another. At other programs some well-known man or woman talked to the girls about the more serious: things in life. All the meetings, serious or otherwise, have been well attended and those present have felt their time well spent. The Freshman girls formed clubs under the auspices of the Y. W. and have certainly been industrious. They :fitted the Y. W. room with wicker furniture and made two poor families happy with luscious' Thanks- giving dinners. The girls earned their money by selling popcorn and candy at the football games and by several market days. The Y. W. organization as a whole raised three hundred and sixty dollars in the recent Y. W. C. A. drive by a tag sale. They also raised money to support an Armenian War Orphan this year. On November seventh all the girls took part in a Peace Day Pag- eant. The Allied Nations, the Red Cross, Salvation Army, United War Activities and Knights of Columbus were represented as well as dough- boys, gobs and aviators. Two floats bounded our part of the parade, one representing the Y. W. C. A., the other, World-Wide Peace. Several teachers helped the girls, but neither this affair nor any of the others could have been carried through had it not been for the untiring efforts of Miss Mcllrath, the Y. W.

The spirit in which the Y is received by the boys is much better than in :former years perhaps due to the fact that the cobinet is the most representative since the organization was established. In the campaign for membership last fall over a hundred boys joined the club. This makes the YH larger than it has been in other years and also better fixed financially. The boys held meetings at 3:30 during the fall months, but this plan was found impractical since a good per cent of the boys worked at regular jobs after school. For this reason five Bible Study Classes were formed, led by college students. The members were handicapped by lack of suitable study books, but in spite of this hindrance the clas'ses were very sucessful. At the close of the football season a banquet was held for the team 'under the auspices of the Y to elect a captain for the coming year. Toasts were given by Mr. Henely and other members of the faculty and each of the football men gave a short talk. During vacation the state Y. M. C. A. held a convention at Cedar Rapids. Over one thousand boys representing High Schools in all parts of Iowa were present at these meetings. A delgation of fourteen attached from Grinnell. Such prominent men as Winifield Scott Hall, Ozora Davis and President Holmes of Drake spoke, and Wyrick, a famous tenor, sang. In co-operation with the Y. W.. the Y. M. put on a High School Chapel for a week. The meetings held at 8:15, were adressed by Ozora Davis. About three hundred students attended each morning as well as most of the faculty. Morning chapel was an innovation this year, but judging from the enthusiasm of those attending, a week of such meet- ings could well be held every year. A basketball supper at whi.ch the new officers were installed closed the work for the year. 1920 Cabinet. President.

Page Fifty-four Page Fifty-five Grange an 5Black At last Grinnell High has an established school paper. This activ- ity was commenced last year but not until this fall did it receive the sup- port of the school authorities. That the Orange 8: Black is the great success it is both in its news and its editorial sections due to the untir- ing patience and perseverance of the editor, Donald Hadley. The stalflf under his direction have consistently endeavored to bring the Orange 8: Black to a high standard and it compares very favorably with the publications of other schools. G. H. S. really needs a paper and every loyal student should do his best to support one by subscriptions and by contributions of news and jokes- The outlook for next year is promising as present subscriptions total about two hundred and fifty.

We are proud to belong to it and to compete with the big schools of the state in declamation, debate and extemporaneous speak- ing. The schools participating in these contests are Iowa City, Daven- port, Dubuque, Fairfield, Burlington, Muscatine, Clinton, Oskaloosa and Grinnell. There are in all four contests: the boys' declamatory, girls' declamatory, debate, and extemporaneous speaking. The first Iowa Nine event this year was the Boys' Declamatory Contest at Muscatine. John Talbott, our representative won second place with his reading, Armenia, a speech that is of special interest to us owing to the fact that President Main is its author. Louise Moyle represented us at Clinton in the Girls' Big Nine Declamatory Contest. Her reading, The Philosophy of the Race Prob- lem was given fourth place. In the third event of the season, debate, we won second place, Davenport gaining first by a narrow margin. The Extemporaneous Speaking Contest was held at Burlington, May seventh. John Talbott, our speaker this year was chosen from among other competitors, all of whom were members of the public speak- ing class conducted by Mason Ladd. In the total summing up of all the points in the several contests Grinnell takes a high place. Although one of the smallest schools of the Iowa Nine our High School still measures up to the high grade standard of perfection set by this organization. Page Fifty-eight Declamaiorq i l l Declamatory work seems to be the most popular activity the High School indulges in, at least if we can judge by statistics. This year one hundred and thirty students entered the prelirninaries which consisted of one oratorical, three dramatic and eight humorous contests. The win- ners of the first two places competed in sernr-finals. Some fine work was done this year due to good material and strenuous' effort both on the part of the contestants and of the trainers, Miss Wertheim and Miss Gracey. T Haworth Bray, the winner of first place in the Finals was our representative in the sub-district contest at Knoxville. New Sl1aron's ccntestant was given first and Haworth, second. The honors, however, were fairly evenly divided, as the judges disagreed, two giving him second and one first.

Haworth Bray Page Fifty-nine Debate The debate season this year has been an unusually successful one- Grinnell was very fortunate in obtaining such a fine debater and effi- cient coach as Mr. Mason Ladd. The question chosen was ,ullesolvedz That a federal arbitration law should be enacted to settle all labor disputes. This is a difficult subject for high school debaters and covers a wide field. The work was started early last fall in a debating class conduct- ed by Mr. Ladd. A few weeks later try-outs were held and the two teams selected. Delmar Ahrens, Harry Reynolds and Ward Shope were chosen for the affirmative team and Austin Peters, Ellsworth Mcllrath and Paul Porter for the negative. The boys all worked hard and faith- fully in preparation for the Big Nine Triangular Debate. The schools belonging to the Iowa Nine are divided into triangles acording to their location. Our affirmative met Oskaloosa here and our negative went down to Iowa City on March 12. We defeated Osky 3 to 0 but lost to Iowa City by a 2 to 1 decision. V Since we had won more points than either Oskaloosa or Iowa City we were entitled to a place in the final triangle. lVlarch 26 the affirma- tive team went to Davenport, John Talbott taking the place of Delmar Ahrens. The decision went against us' 2 to 1, but we evened things up a little by defeating Fairfield 3 to O on our home floor. This gave us second place in the Final ranking as Davenport won from Fairfield, thus obtaining first place in the triangle. Beside the Big Nine debates we met Newton April 9. Our nega- tive team traveled up there to discuss the question and brought back a 3 to 0 decision in our favor. The affirmative met Newton's negative here and gained a favorable verdict of 2 to 1. It is interesting te note that in no other year has Grinnell High gained so many 3 to 0 decisions- For the past three years We have held a place in the final tri- angle of the Iowa Nine Debates, winning two seconds and one third. Six of the seven men graduate this year but if there is as much interest taken in debate next year and as many try out, there is no reason why Grinnell should not hold first place in the final triangle of the Iowa Nine schools. Page Sixty Page Sixty-one BOOSTER CLUB The Booster Club was organized last fall to promote interest in High School Athletics. They have done splendid work this year and are planning to add more members and to take up other activities next fall. The Booster Club put on some remarkably good Pep Meetings and made the best ticket sales on record. The big crowds at the station when the teams set out we1'e there owing to the club's entreaties and threats. Meeting out-of-town teams with cars is another duty they have taken upon themselves and it certainly makes for cordial feeling between schools. Only one member of the club, Herk Gove, our yell-leader, is left to continue the good work, but elaborate plans are being made for next year, which if carried out will make the Booster Club a credit and a source of pride to G.

About thirty boys respondedg evidence that the Club is regaining some of its former popularity. Several members dropped out at the end of the first semester on account of sickness and various other causes. For this reason another set of try-outs was held the second semester and a few boys admitted then. At present the Club numbers twenty-two members. The Glee Club has sung several times for Opening Exercises dur- ing the year, giving both popular and classic selections. The former made the greater hit with the audience, perhaps because the boys sing popu- lar music with more spirit than they show in the classic. On April fourteenth the Boys' Glee Club entertained the girls at Davis school. This is the only social function the clubs have had this year, but it was a very successful one. The entertainment provided was exceptionally good and heartily enjoyed by a large number present. A revival of interest in this activity is greatly to be desired and with so many boys in school there surely must be some Who can sing well- Those with any ability in this line should t1'y out next fall in order to restore the high standard set by the Boys' Glee Clubs of former years. The following men have held office the past two semesters: First Semester-President, George Dare, Secretary and Treasurer, Donald Hadley, Librarian, Wendell Shaw. Second Semester-President, George Paul g Secretary and Treas- urer, Delmar Ahrensg Librarian, George Dare. v U g l- 5 Page Sixty-five 92125 :qs-mxgg QRCHESTRA ei, 5,,i ' T11 : Cfhe Orc eslra The High School orchestra under Miss Thomson's direction is bet-' ter than ever this' year.

The orchestra has played at different times for Opening Exercises on Fridays before the Assembly as Well as at Chresto Society and for Graduation.

It is in fine shape this year and is great demand among town and college clubs as well as the High School. The Club appeared at a Masonic party, Chresto Society and the Palm Sunday Musical Service at the Methodist Church, also at Y. W. C. A., the Inspirational Institute, Parent-Teachers' Association and several times at Opening Exercises in Assembly. Every- where the girls have sung they have been very favorably received. In most of the big schools in Iowa where music is made an im- portant activity, the members of the Girls' Glee Clubs wear some sort of uniform dress. The one that Grinnell High has adopted consists of middy, dark skirt and tie. It is very effective and has been highly com- mended by visitors as well as by townspeople. Quite a large per cent of the Club graduate this year, but there should be some songsters among the underclassmen who will be able to take their places and carry on this important High School activity. The officers for the past two semesters are: First Semester-President, Mabel Neelyg Secretary and Treasurer, Edythe Andersong Librarian, Kathryn Lanphere. Second Semester-President, Gladys Smith, Secretary-Treasurer, Donna Harrisg Librarian, Florence Wilson. .t Page Sixty-nine Q lfgls-. . an I0 - ANNUAL BOARD FARCE The Annual Board staged a farce on April twenty-third in the High School auditorium to help defray expenses incident to the produc- tion of this year's Grinnellian. The Streuuous Life, a three act comedy by Richard Walton Tully, was chosen and from a financial point of View at least was a decided success. The townspeople and students so loyally supported the Board that the total sale of tickets, amounting to one hundred and seventy dollars, far exceeded expectations. The whole plot of the farce is centered in the misfortunes which come upon Tom Harrington, football captain, through his persistent evas- ion of the truth- The scene is laid in the college town of Berkeley in Mrs. Wiggin's 1'eception room.

The play selected this year was Green Stockings , a clever English comedy by A. E- Mason. It is filled with good lines, clever sit- uations and fast action. The plot is wound about the fortunes of Celia Faraday who has twice worn green stockings at the wedding of her younger sisters and refuses to do so again. The cast by Professor J. P. Ryan was an exceptionally well-balanc- cd one and their steady hard work was a leading factor in the success of the play. Admiral Grice - Sir William Faraday Colonel Smith - R. R.

The Seniors have had hard luck in planning picnics. Perhaps the Weather Man is against them. Their picnics always end in Davis School. However, they manage to have good times. Their picnic on October 25 was a success. They matched advertisements to find their eating partners but as' there were not enough boys to go around, very few were matched. The usual games were played after which they put on their rubbers, took their umbrellas and went home. Y. W. Freshman Picnic. On September 24 the upper class girls each took a Freshie and were taken to the lake in cars- All this was for the purpose of getting better acquainted. After different groups had given short pantomimes the P-I-E appeared on the scene. Was it good? '? ? ? Well, they had to send a hurry-up call into town for more!!!!! Y. W. Hallowe'en Party. O-O-O-0-o-o- I should say so-o-0-0- You .couldn't turn around with- out bumping into a ghost at the Y. W. Hallowe'en party. And that trip through Hades, well, it can't be set down on paper. If you were lucky, you had your fortune told by a toothless gypsy, if not, perhaps you play- ed at the latest fad-the ouija board. The stunts which were pulled were excellent and in keeping with the spirit of Hallowe'en. And then pie again. Page Seventy-four Junior Party. A The Juniors entered their social career with a big masquerade. It was held at Davis School. Part of the time was spent in making at- tempts to find out who everybody else was. The members of the faculty who teach Junior subjects were guests. There was an orchestra com- posed of Juniors which entertained for a while. After the unmasking, games we1'e played and ice cream and wafers were se1'ved. Senior Party. On February 13 the Seniors betook themselves to Davis School for the purpose of attending a Valentine party. The first event of the evening was charades. After that. some unknown abilities in debating were discovered in Beryl Eaton and 'Dana Corrough. After playing that mode1'n game of cross questions and crooked answers' and a few others similar, they managed to consume ice cream and cake to a very good advantage. While engaged in this important detail, Mr. I-Ienely wildly announced that Oskaloosa had been defeated. The party then adjourned. ' Glee Club Party. The Boys' Glee Club entertained the Girls' Glee Club Friday even- ing, April 16, at Davis School. There was Winkum and A Last Couple Out and Going to Jerusalem. Mr. Davis managed to be final goer to Jerusalem. Then there was a violin solo by Louise Moyle, a bassoon solo by Dana Corrough, a song by the Girls' Glee Club and eats. Boys certainly know how to do things up proper, don't they? a 1 Old Cabinet Entertains New On April 17, the outgoing Y. W. Cabinet entertained the New at dinner. The dinner was given in the Domestic Science Rooms- At the top of the stairs the blue triangle greeted the guests. When they reached the room, they found a canopy of blue and white streamers over a long table on which were blue candles. The old girls explained their duties to the new. Eve1'ybody, we believe, enjoyed themselves. Football Banquet The Y. M. C. A. gave their annual banquet for the football boys on December 18, this year. It was held at the Methodist Church. The guests were the members of the football team, Mr. Nichols, Mr. Saysell, Mr. Davis. Mr. Henely. and Mr. Moyle. It was a regular old fashioned supper with lots to eat. The toastmaster was Mr. Henely. Paul Porter speaking for the Y- M. C. A. gave a Welcome to the boys. Mr. Nichols, Charlie Mitchell, Doctor Kinzer, M1'. Moyle and Caulde Carter gave short talks. Brick Sanders was elected captain. Of course a speech was re- quired of him. Then each member of the team was .called upon to say something. The football team presented Mr. Nichols with a watch charm. Perhaps it will call up memories to some of the boys to say that various people were Hbawled out. Basketball Banquet. The basketball banquet was held at the Methodist Church April 30. The banquet was also for the purpose of installing the new cabinet. The feed was the same as ever, lots to eat and oh, so good! Dr. Kinzer gave a short talk, then Paul Porter talked for the old Cabinet and Ben Morgart, the new president, for the new Cabinet. The program was then turned over to Mr. Nichols for the pur- Page Seventy-five pose of electing next year's basketball Captain. This honor fell to Gar Lamb. The members ol' the team each talked and then Mr. Compton spoke on the Relation of the Y. M- to Athletics. Hr. Davis held the position as toatmaster. FACULTY PICNIC. May the fourteenth marked the date of the annual faculty blow- out in the form of a picni.c held at Arbor Lake. The prosperous members of the faculty who own their own cars transported the picnicers to their destination by making many trips back and forth. Miss Korns, Miss Wertheim and John Saysell were the eats committee. From all reports they know their business. Mr. Nichols served the role of brothers He got in everybody's way, also staked down the bun box and the pickle box, thereby making as much confusion as possible. The only beverage, the coffee, was prepared by Miss Wilhoit. Now Miss Wilhoit, what was it in the coffee that needed to boil just exactly ten minutes? Maybe that had something to do with the later actions of Cranny and Nichols. Of course when the onion boy came along John Saysell had to treat the crowd. After they had eaten all they could and played ball 'till they WB1'6 tired, the transportation committee started on its journey. Messrs. Nichols, Cranny and Davis decided there was no room for them so sent their wives on and walked in. Now the question is, what happened next '? for at the Honor G banquet Mr. Henely dis- covered that upon reaching home C1'anny and Nichols were seeing double- dMr. Henely did his best on the case but as yet the mystery is unso ve . HONOR G BANQUET. One of the special Social Events every year, is the Honor G ban- quet. This year it was held at the Methodist Church on May 15. The place was pleasingly decorated with orange and black crepe paper and birch leaves. During the delightful meal, the guests were entertained by Carl and his violin. Mr. Henely acted as toastmaster. Mr. Nichols talked on Grinnell Spirit. There is more than one kind you know, ask him. Lyman Sanders told about the Honor G , Then came the final oration by Mr. Mason Ladd. It was a work of Art. His subject was Sealing Wax. As a result of the election of officers, Lyman Sanders is next year's president of the Honor G Club. Page Seventy-six 'I Page Seventy-seven The Football Qrou P Football Although Grinnell High School does not have as large an enroll- ment as some schools she always produces athletic teams of high calibre. The 1919 football season was no exception to this 1'ule for of seven games played with the best teams in the state G. H. S. won five. TOLEDO 0-GRINNELL 35. We easily won from Toledo by a comfortable margin. This game gave Coach Nichols a line up on material for several substitutions were made. GRINNELL 13-IOWA CITY 6. Grinnell won from their old rivals only by fighting from start to finish. lowa scored fi1'st but G1'innell Spirit triumphed in the end. GRINNELL 7-WEST HIGH 13. W Grinnell went down to defeat before the fast Des Moines team. The game was one of the best ef the season in everything but the score. The boys gave everything that they had all the way thru. GRINNELL 0--OSKY 12. We lost to one of the fastest and best teams in the istate, when Osky defeated us twelve to nothing. The game was played 'on a muddy field and the team did well to hold a team of veterans to as low a score- GRINNELL 7-MARSHALLTOWN 0. Of all the schools Grinnell meets in atheletics Marshalltown prob- ably puts up the best fight. lt took fight to win but win we did. GRINNELL 14-ELDORA 6. In a hard contested battle we succeeded in defeating the State Industrial School. The game was exciting and in doubt as to the winner until the end. GRINNELL 33-NEWTON 0. Grinnell took the New out of Newton on Turkey Day by hand- ing them the short end of a 33-0 score. Newton sent over a large .crowd but this was not sufficient to give their team victory. In all the 1919 season was a great success. The two games we lost were to the best teams in the state. Besides we won from our old rival Iowa City for the first time in four years . Pedersen. Pete was our Captain and led the team thru a most successful sea- son. His position at end will be hard to fill. Claude Carter. Carter always played a consistent game and could be depended on. Claude was one of the best tackles that has ever worn the Orange and Black. He graduates this year. Dare. George developed into a real guard' The team will be strengthen- ed by his playing next year. Page Seventy-nine Mcllrath. Mac was one of the best line buckers in the backfield. When it came to backing up the line Mac was right there too. We are sorry he wont be with us next year. Schwab. John came back to win his letter this year and he did. He got honorable mention on the all state team besides. Raffety. Raff was our center and he played his part well. Lloyd is a Senior. '- Schultz. Omer has played a wonderful game for two years now. It will be difficult to find a better man. Hutchison. Hutch was right there when it came to holding down his posi- tion at end. Hutch is a Senior. Ed. Carter. Nick used his head and always ran the team at quarter to a good advantage. He will be playing his third season 'next fall. Lamb. Gar always hit the line hard and seldom failed to gain five yards when called on. His kicking and passing was of the best. I e Sanders. Brick will be our Captain next year. Brick is small but mighty and his end runs have gained many yards for G. H. S. A , Armstrong. Clem was a little small but he did his part whenever called on. Iverson. n Fat worked hard this year and we have great hopes for a good guard next year. Leins. ' Rex with his weight and strength should make a good mate for Elmer. Paul. Francis played his first football this year and was only handi- capped by lack of experience. Francis is a Senior. The Second Team. The record of the varsity team was due much to the work of the second team for without s'trong opposition a strong football machine can- not be built. The second team deserves praise for their labor and faithfulness. Many of them will be playing on the first team next year. Page Eighty BASKETBALL TEATH B..la..ll The '19-'20 basketball season has been one of the most successful Grinnell High School has ever known. The schedule this year was es- pecially stiff, with eleven scheduled games, and in addition two games at the Ames tournament and three at the Iowa City tournament. This made a total of sixteen games, of which twelve were won and four lost. Due to the coal shortage the team got a late start in practicing, but with Coach Nichols at the head a team was whipped into shape for the open- ing games with Victor on the home floor. This game was won 60-12. The team under the leadership of Captain Carter made a splendid record and was a team which G. I-I. S. could well be proud of. Grinnell 60-Victor 12. In a one sided game Grinnell easily defeated Victor 60-12. Grinnell 8-Marshalltown 4. The local five won their second game of the season by defeating Marshalltown 8-4. The game was rather fast for an early season game. Grinnell 13-Oskaloosa 12. In this game the team showed what they were made of and de- feated the strong experienced five from Oskaloosa. Grinnell 37-Victor 14. In the return game with Victor Grinnell again cleaned up in an easy fashion- A Iowa City 22-Grinnell 20. Grinnell lost their first game to the fast Iowa City Five on our own floor. The team rolled up a comfortable margin of points the first half, but some hard playing and lucky shots by Iowa City in the second period won the game for them. Grinnell 25-Newton 14. In the last home game of the season Newton was taken into camp by a margin of eleven points. Several of the regulars were absent from the line up on account of sickness. Grinnell 28-Oskaloosa 20. With odds against them the team again tackled Osky, but this time on their opponents floor. But they came home with the long end of a 28-20 score. Grinnell 18-Iowa City 21. Grinnell lost their second game to Iowa City on Iowa City's floor by the close score of 21-18. Grinnell 21-Marshalltown 17. The local quintet went to Marshalltown and secured a 21-17 vic- tory over their old rivals. Page Eighty-two Grinnell 25-Boone 24. After defeating Marshalltown the team went to Boone, and-in a hard fought game came out on top but it took an extra period of five minutes to do it. Grinnell 26-Newton 14. For the last game of the season the team accompanied with a large bunch of rooters went to Newton. The Newton bunch was no match for the local five and the game ended 26-14. Ames Tournament Grinnell was one of the sixteen schools receiving an invitation to the Ames tournament. We drew Fort Dodge for our first game and after a hard fight, which necessitated two extra periods to break a tie we defeated the Northern team 17-20- Two hard games on the same day was too much for our men and we lost to Boone 17-12. Iowa City Tournament. The team Went to Iowa City and eliminated two teams before they were beaten. They took Prairie City into camp to the tune of 26-11. Albion came next and was put out by a 24-6 score. Then the five met the fast Springville aggregation and were defeated by the close score of 15-14. Captain Carter. Claude was one of the best centers in the state this year, and also one of the best men on the team. He was a very efficient man both on offense and defense. Carter's place will be very hard ,to fill next year. Ed. Pedersen. Pete was a valuable man this year. He filled the position of running guard very well. Pete is a Senior and will be greatly missed next year. Gar Lamb. Gai' is our Captain for next year, and judging from his performan- ces this year should fill Carter's place next year Very well. Gar was the star forward this season and could always be counted on to do some heavy scoring for Grinnell. Arthur Hutchison. Hutch was our standing guard, and u-sually played against the best man on the opposing team. He could always be depended upon- I Raymond Lamb. Ray was one of the best men on the team this year for both offense and defense. Ray has two more years as he is a Sophomore. Hayward Friend. Mac our diminutive forward always had his men wondering. He pulled Grinnell out of the hole several times by his ability to pick the ball off the board and drop it thru the hoop. Paul Porter. Porter showed his ability to play when ever he got into the game. Porter will not be with us next year as he is a Senio1'. Bruce Hammond. Fatl' is only a Sophomore and should make somebody go for center next year on the regular five. A Page Eighty-three Cfhe Track Team TRACK It seems as if there has been a revival of interest in track in Grinnell High School. For several years Grinnell High had not been represented on the cinder path until 1919. To encourage the men to par- ticipate the High School Athletic Association sent teams tothe Drake Relays, Iowa Interscholastic Meet, and the State Meet. fBesides these a quadrangular meet with Marshalltown, Newtin and Oskaloosa was put on.J Although our team did not win any signal victories last year they received experience and training which has been valuable to them in the season of 1920. lnclement weather this spring prevented the team from getting into shape early but through the efforts of Coach Nich- ols and the consistent training of the men a quite creditable squad has been formed. The Home Meet held on April 29 was won by the Sopho- mores. Some new material was uncovered in this meet and the varsity squad was picked. The second Annual Quadrangular Meet was held at Ward Field on May 15. Grinnell won first place by scoring 44 1-3 points showing that a well balanced track team is better than a one man team. Summary of the meet: 120-Yard Hurdles-Brookins, Osk., firstg Wilson, M., second, Deboc, N., third: Time, :17 1-5. Mile Run-Miller, M., firstg Bell, G., second, Gratton G., third.

Seven men were sent to the State Meet and although they did not win many points they showed decided improvement and raised our hopes for next year. Rivers scored three points for Grinnell by taking second in the two twenty dash. AS we go to press there remains but one meet for the team, The Grinnell College Interscholastic. Although they may not take first in this meet it is certain that the team will live up to the Grinnell Spirit and do their best. Page Eighty-five a enclar SEPTEMBER.

Page Ninety-one Page Ninety-two ,Slitcrar THE FALL OF MAN In Winton High, as in all other schools, the Senior Class Play was an Event--with a capital HE . Every May occurred the awful tryout, the choosing of the honored few, the rehearsals under the long-suffering director and then-the Play, in all its glory. Every Senior Class had tried to make their play the best yet, with varying success, and the Class of '20 was no exception. The cast had been chosen, the rehearsals were in full swingg the play was all-absorbing topic of the school, and by far the most important beings in all Winton High were the hero, Barry Mann, and the heroine, Marjorie Peyton. Marjorie accepted her honors modestly-as a matter of course. Pretty, popular, used to being envied and admired, she fluttered through rehearsals, apparently unconscious of all the emotions she aroused in the susceptible heart of young Barry, who, in contrast, took his honors with all seriousness, or as his envious boy friends said, with a swelled head. For Barry was new at hero-ing, and his experience with girls, while not altogether lacking, had been chiefly concerned with his sister and cousins, and not with flirtatious young butterflies like Marjorie. Ac- cordingly, he experienced new thrills at every rehearsal, went around with his head in the clouds, and caused his chums to refer to said head as swelled. K As the time drew near when the great event was to take place, Mr. Read, in accordance with the customs of directors since time immemor- ial, became worried and nervous. The cast suffered daily under his sarcasm, and laboured unceasingly. But it was during the last rehearsal that things went the worst, and poor Mr. Read was nearly frantic. For heavens sake, Mann, don't act like a stick of wood! he yell- ed. Remember, you're in love with Miss Peyton, and act accordingly! Yes, sir, murmured Barry, with a very red face. All right! Go through that again-and don't be afraid of putting it on too thick? f Barry obediently assumed an attitude of entreaty. Caroline, he implored, don't say that you do not care! Don't turn me away! If you do, 1 shall go down to the depths- Ah, Caroline! tHe pronounced it Aw, Caroline! , which brought another cutting remark from Mr. Read.D Barry was forced to go through his speech again, and then the play progressed. Finally, Mr. Read let them go with the parting words. ' If you don't do better than this tomorrow night, it'll be a failure. Remember, Miss Peyton, don't wring your hands until Mann says, How could yo'u'? , and Mann, remember to stand near the door in the love scene. You have to exit in a hurry, you know. A The door to which Mr. Read referred led off the stage, down three steps to the back hall of the theatre. Thru its crimson hangings Barry was forced to exit, and as the door-way was low, these exits could hard- Page Ninety-three ly be called graceful. He hated that door. But all he said to Mr. Read's injunction was a deferential, Yes, sir. The great night arrived. The theatre was full of high school stu- dents, proud mamas, papas and friends of the cast, and students from the near-by college. An atmosphere of pleased expectation prevailed-in front of the curtain. But behind the scenes was the usual panic' Only Marjorie remained cool. She flattered up to Barry, looking lovelier than ever in her costume. Good luck, she laughed. My, you look scared! Are you, Barry? with a coquettish smile. No-that is, not much. Gee! you-you sure look great, Mar- jorie! She gave him another smile, and danced away. And then, the stage was cleared, the cast took their places, and-the Play began. Barry, as the curtain rose, was conscious only of a mammoth cav- ern filled with faces. His knees shook, his mouth felt dry, but he man- aged his opening words, and after that-it wasn't so bad. Not much worse than rehearsals. The first two acts over, the cast drew a sigh of relief. Every- thing was going fine and now it would soon be over. The third act began. Everyone in the audience pronounced the love scene one of the most dramatic things ever witnessed-at the start. Mr. Read, in the wings, rubbed his hands together in delight, for Barry in the words ol' his sister, was' making some lover. The scene was approaching the climax. Caroline , Barry began, remembering to stand near the door, don't say that you do not care! Don't turn me away! The romantic freshmen girls in the audience tightened their hold on their neighbor's hands. If you do 5 went on Barry, I shall go down to-. But here he took a step backward- Alas for the perfect lover! The door was there, but Barry had forgotten. His step carried him too far,-there was a rending, tearing sound as he clutched vainly at the hangings, a crash, and Barry was deposited at the prompter's feet on the floor of the back hall. He had indeed made his exit in a hurry. An aghast silence followed the crash, Marjorie stood rooted to the spot with surprise. Then a hysterical young lady tittered, and the whole heartless audience laughed-nay, they howled. But as the hero did not return, an uneasy silence fell upon them. Was he hurt? In the hall, the prompter was assisting the dazed Barry to his feet. There was a large blackish lump on his forehead, but he ignor- ed it. Let go of me , he protested in a loud whisper. Fm going back. Ssh! said the prompter. Listen! Miss Peyton's going on. For Marjorie, in desperation had skipped the page and a half be- fore his intended exit, and was now wailing, Oh why did he go? with the hope that Barry would catch his cue and reappear. He did not, but the prompter did. Here's where you go on, he whispered. There's your cue and he gave Barry a push toword the door. He never knew how he did it, but in a minute he found himself back on the stage, going on with his part as though nothing had hap- pened. The audience, the tension relaxed, sat back again with a sigh, Page Ninety-four and when the curtain fell they pronounced it, in spite of the interrup- tion, quite the most sucessful play in the history of Winton High. Oh, Barry, you were splendid! breathed Marjorie, as the cur- tain dropped. You saved the play-Oh, are you much hurt? Barry, scarlet to the ears in the light of Marjorie's admiration, managed, That's nothin' you saved the play-how'd you happen to think of going on? Naw-Fm not hurt! 'S' only a bump. And , said his sister to her best friend, he was perfectly wild over her for ages, Honestly. But if you ever Want to be a friend of Barry's don't you ask him how he came to fall for her. p -Isabel Stuart 91 OWED T0 SPRING Spring has cum- How due I no? Got spring fever- Proves its so.

I forgotto tell you that Theodore Lake is coming. You remem- ber Teddy don't you '?i Heis a Junior partner in some large firm in Chi- cago. I gather from reports that he's terribly wrapped up in his busi- ness and Fm quite proud that he's coming to my house party. Did Roberta Louise remember Ted Lake Y Yes, indeed, she could still see him, wearing his old overalls' and ragged straw hat, as he was the last time they went fishing together. And how good that lunch had tasted. To be sure that lunch had consisted of sandwiches, crisply 'fried fish, of their own catching, and wild strawberries, nothing else. Nevertheless, thought Roberta, I have not tasted anything so good since I've been in New York. Then Roberta wentito her room and took an old calico dress and a floppy sunbonnet out of a drawer. I believe I'll take these with me because maybe- here she brought herself to earth. saying, Silly, any man as successful in buiness as he uould laugh at going fishing with a foolish girl. I'd better be studying up on business instead of dreaming over old sunbonnets and fishing parties. But when Roberta Louise Grey packed, an old calico dress and a floppy sunbonnet were tucked into one corner of her trunk. Theodore Lake, Junior partner of the f'irm Carruthers Sz Lake, was spending a great deal of his valuable time reading and re-reading a letter that had been brought to his office, which assuredly was not a business letter. -Oh, yes, Roberta Louise Grey is coming too- I-Ier dad left her a million or so and I guess she is' quite a belle in New York, Bobby-Lu always was a pretty girl but I can't see her living like the society belles you read of in books. Why, say Ted, weren't you and Bobby-Lu pretty good friends when you were in Hampton '? Yes, Bobby-Lu and I were pretty good friends, thought Theo- dore Lake, And she was pretty, especially when she wore that floppy sunbonnet, and By Jove! she was some little sport when it came to going fishing. Why she could beat any of the girls .cooking fish. It was with a great effort that Ted brought himself back to his NVOl'k. When he reached his club that night he went directly to his rooms and after much hunting found a faded pair of overalls and a ragged straw hat. Guess I'll take these with me, he decided, and then stopped suddenly as if he had just discovered something. Well, of all the fools, here I am acting just as if I thought for one instant that Roberta Louise Grey, noted society belle of New York, would go fishing with Ted Lake, wearing overalls and a straw hat, a one-time acquaintance of hers. I d be doing better were I polishing my society manners instead of acting the fool over a pair ol' overalls. But need I tell you that when Theodore Lake packed for a visit to his home town, a pair of overalls and a ragged straw hat found a hiding place in his trunk '? Polly Appleton planned to show her two most distinguished guests, Theodore Lake and Roberta Louise Grey, all honor and to entertain them in as nearly the same way they were accustomed to being enter- tained in the city as possible. Which she did with the aid of all Hamp- ton. A brass band and a large crowd met Theodore at the train. Rob- erta was given a maid of her own. There were formal dinners at six. There were dances that lasted 'till break of day. There were garden parties but they too were stiff and formal. And on all these occasions, Page Ninety-six everyone wore the appropriate dresses and suits, uncomfortable dress suits, flimsy dinner gowns, palm beach suits and low cut evening gowns. Whew, It's hot, gasped Ted as he wrestled with his tie. I don't want to play bridge on any afternoon like this. I'll bet it's cool on that old rock by the creek- I wonder if the fish still bite as good as they used to? Then Ted jerked off tie and collar, I'm going fishing, quoth he. Roberta likewise was preparing for the bridge party. Oh, it's so hot, wish I could go out in the woods and cool off. But no, poor Polly thinks I'd rather play bridge so I must. Yes, Jane, you may leave I'll do my own hair. But for some reason Roberta's hair would not go up right. After several vain attempts she combed it in two fat braids with curls at the ends. 'Tm going fishing, quoth she. So Ted wearing a pair of overalls which were rather small, also a ragged straw hat, and carrying a long bambo fishing pole and a can of worms, strode merrily down the road, into the woods and straight to the big rock by the creek. He solemnly baited his hook, threw it into the water and waited. Roberta, wearing a calico dress and floppy sunbonnet and carry- ing a long fishing pole, slipped out of the house and skipped happily down the road, into the Woods and on to the old rock where Ted sat, excitedly doing his best to land a frisky bass. Aho, thought Roberta Louise, Some farmer boy has got my rock. Then, Oh, quick, there you've got him. Oh-er, why Ted Lake what are you doing here ? Roberta, blushingly furiously was preparing to retreat. Fishing, answered Ted promptly, and what are you here for? Same thing. Let's fish together. ' Alright, But for some mysterious reason not very many of the fish in that little creek were caught that day. ' -Wilma Gardner. THE CENTER OF ATTRACTION Why no one has ever before described me I cannot imagine, for judging from the attention I receive I have the most attractive face in school- Always in a prominent position, I am the cynosure of all eyes- and every day receive thousands of glances-loving, anxious or pleading as the case may be. You have heard of Mona Lisa's marvelous hands? Well, mine are even more wonderful, in all they are able to suggest and accomplish. By the slightest motion of my hands I change the destiny of individuals. My authority is high as I am the guiding spirit in all activities of life. The span of man's life is designed by my faithfulness to duty. Many times I shape the destinies of man so that his whole life is placed in my hands. Many an anxious student looks at me in expectancy of deliver- ance. Especially in the latter part of the afternoon. I am the first' to appear in the morning and the last to depart at night. As the words describing that most fascinating of women-Cleopatra- age cannot wither her nor custom stale her infinite variety. I am the beginning and end of all pleasures and labor. Procras- tination is mv sworn enemy. I am the assembly clock. -Esther Sawyer. Page Ninety-seven G ass Son We are the class of Nineteen Twenty Of G. H. S.
