FOIEWARD L Many are the Annuals and Year Books launched up- on the sea of literature by Universities and Colleges, but- n ? ':i ' the High School Annual is a new departure. This is our n A, 3' ' ' first attempt and we realize more fully than any one else ' the failures and short-comings of this book. So in sub- mitting The Postscript we ask you to judge us lightly, A keeping in mind the short-comings of youth and inex- perience. The Editors. C?

Sal A boy, says Plato, is the most vicious of all wild animals How that old codget' could fib when he thought no one would Gnd him out! We shudder to think what he might have said of the girls were it not for the fact that the Ancients did not regard girls as child- ren nor members of the family, but classed them with the chickens and other domestic ani- mals. Perhaps it was better after all for the girls if such men as Plato were to record their characteristics for' future generations to read. Plato was either an old grouch or else children have changed vastly for the better since tho:-ze old times. The pupils of the Grundy Center High School are not wildanimals nor even domestic ones, but are delightfully human young men and women: with whom it is a pleasure to work and a delight to meet in a social way. They are studious and honest, loyal to their teachers and friends, and courteous to all. ' However, there is one serious fault common to all young people and particularly notic- able in the pupils of our high school which can be remedied by a little effort and attention, that of carelessness, just good natured, thoughless carelessness The forgotten work as signed, the heavy foot-step in the hall, the friendly scuffle in the cloak room, the irrespon- sible behavior when not under the eye of some teacher: this is what I mean by carelessness. The much used and much abused excuse, I forgot, caps the climax This fault you must overcome before you can ever take your place among men and women 'is men and womt n Wh it the world demands today is reliability. Mere ability without reliability is useless, The sense of re- sponsibility is acquired only by diligent practice, not by pre-cept. This quality you must have if yoti are ever to be successful in life, and I upils of the Grundy Center llxgh Schools, my highest ambition is to see you become men and women: confident in your own power, 'ind proving to the world that you merit the confidence of others. Let others question your ability but never your sense of responsibility. Do this and my word for it you will succeed where thousands have failed. C. L. LOVE. For these kind sentiments and admonitions, we gratefully dedicate this little volume to Prof. C. L. Love, who through the three years of our high school work has be en our guide and inspiration.

We're glad to claim Hazel as one of our members. Dena Boldt--- When Dena was but a child, she was all that a fond parent could wish, but who can forsee the future of an innocent babe? ln her junior year in high school a wild longing for the stage seized Dena and she joined the Thousand Dollar Millionaire as leading lady CPD Since then, not even a Russell has been heard of her. Glenn Gray--- - Glenn is truly Napoleonic in some respects. He goes often and with a light heart to meet his Waterloo. Tom Holck--- President of class of IQIO and president of U. S. in iozo, inclines less to sweets than to Souers. Alice Sperry--- Mother calls her Alice, Oscar calls her Tootg Once at school she came to us, When we called her Foote. Thearl Essig--- Thearl is a thoroughbred mechanic. Look out for a big invention from him some time in the near future. Wesly Nlooty--- lf its the little things in this world that count, surely Wesly will be heard from some day. Opal Canfield-n Altho her name is Opal, she is more like a dia- mond. Rare and brilliant. Louise Cullinan--- Louise is a bright girl. For proof visit latin class some time and you'll be. convinced. Dick Goodell--- Dick is what we call a cute boy. lf you don't know Dick, just look at his picture and see if you wouldn't like to get acquainted. QTaken.J Florence DeSeelhorst--- A heart as sunny as her tresses---Nuff said. Mabel NlcBroom--- U Nlabel is rewarded for her industry by her grades. Nice girl. Grace Koobs--- To Grace we bestow the oliice of vice-presidentf lt would be superfluous to say that she is entirely worthy of this office no matter how mighty it might seem to be Vice-president of the class of 'ro. Arvilla Morrison-H One of Arvilla's greatest ambitions has been, for some time, Artist for the Junior annuals of G. C. Her friends were alarmed fora SHORT time upon hearing that Arvilla had decided to abandon Art, but now she has seen the value of it and has 'decided to study Art for Arts sake. Horace Vasey- - Little, but Oh my! What would we Juniors do without Horace. I don't see how we could have had this annual without his aid. He has large business abilities. Russell Gray--- Russell is one of our good Iookersf' He loves to get into long arguments with his teachers which can never be untangled. However, he is not altogether a bluffer. We are surely glad to have Russell in our class. FUTURE OF THE JUNIORS I had been abroad for four years With a most trying patient of mine And I was feeling very weary But my patient was Ieeling tine. She talked of ruins and castles, Of rivers, animals and birds Until I thot I'd really go wild At her never ceasing words. I was dreaming of dear old Iowa And like a dreamer I must have seemed But on the Wiedric steamer I dreamed the best dreams ever dreamed. I dreamed about my old home About my friends so dear When I saw to my infinite pleasure A familiar form appear. I looked at the head and shoulders For 'twas only a back view I had But with that I was firmly convinced Could be none other than an Iowa lad. 6-13 Yes indeed it was. How good! But whom do you suppose it to be? I'm sure you'll be surprised For it was no one but Horace V. He had gone to London, he said, On business for the New York Sun He had been with them for some time And he was truly the chosen one. To go on very important business, And manage their stupendeous affairs. However, it didn't effect his head For I didn't notice that he put on airs. But during our trip he told me many thin About our dear old class, And, truly, I was most amazed To think what Colne to pass. He said that just last week, No, I believe it was last year, 'I'hearl, thru his untiring ettorts Had been appointed chief engineer gS Of the Big Four road from east. Congratulations to Thearl on his success in life But heartier praise is due him ln his selection of a wife. Now whom do you think, Ably Hlls that place? Why sure you know her! Yes really, lt is OUR Grace. Residing with them ln their New York home ls another of our girls , Who is now all alone. Arvilla had married But alas! 'twas to Art And now they are living Far, far apart. Florence, Mabel and Opal Dispisers of boys you know, Tho't they'd show us a thing or two So let their chances go. After years of lonely living Each independent little lass. Thot, why be so lonely? And returned to our illustrious class. Not exactly to the class, I mean But to the friends of yore. Nlable went to Mooty's As Wesley had wanted long before. Florence went to Doc. Just as l told you 'twould be, And this left Opal ' The last of the three All by herself in this cold, hard world. Then she, sensible maid that she always had been, Tried with her eyes A gallant man to win. . Of course she was successful, Oh! yes, you just bet! And now in her man Does the sun raise and set. As we were talking about Opal, ' The great whistle blew So out on deck we hastened For fair Liberty was in view. Not a word did we say As we gazed at her there For our tho'ts were all of America OUR country so wonderous fair! But we felt that she held out her arms ln welcome to our native shore And Oh! how good it was To be back home once more. As we were entering a cab After having our luggage set free A dirty little newsboy, fit seemed that Providence sent him straight to mej I Handed me a New York paper And the very first thing to read, Was Don't fail to come to the Belasco! Tonight! The attraction is Goodell and Meade! And then on reading the rest I knew that it was really our Dick. His desire to be a comedian you know QXJ Was much alight even then When we left school that lovely June Our class of old 1910. Yes, Dick had surely made good And so did our musician, Glenn Gray, For now he travels the globe over As THE leading clarinetist of the day. Cl didn't learn about Glenn until later, but Oh dear! I couldn't wait to tell .. So l dropped the story herej l'll go back and tell you Something else that lfound out, While taking my patient Thru New York stores in and out. It happened in the funiest way Such things always do But l think this was the funniest And l'm sure you will too. We were purchasing ribbons At a bargain counter you know And it is so strange How just then l happened to go, Up to the side ofa tall, graceful lady l lingered a moment by her side Tho why l cannot tell But as soon as she looked down, my eyes opened wide For there was a dear old 1910 girl. lt was Hazel, you remember her, Hazel Canneld it used to be. But now, WHAT is her name? l'm very sure she told me, Anyway she's married and has a lovely home And of course a very fine man, Anyone would know that. , And they live on West 42nd St. ln a delightful eight room flat. She asked me to go to a didings, A lecture in South Hall at eight And l knew from her mysterious air, That it must be something great. At first l tho't of Wilma A leading sufferagette of the day, CXJ And decided that it must be she, QXJ To whom our respects we were soon to pay But Io! unto my surprise and joy, ' As the speaker took his place lt was none other than dear old Tom Who came that vast hall to grace. Before I realized what l was doing l had started our blessed class yell For the sight of our blessed class president Made me forget all else, Well, lt was an occasion for joy, I guess For Tom had become great you see, And he' was running for U. S. president Oh! how the sight of him thrilled me! He spoke eloquently, earnestly, Just as he always had And it gave me much satisfaction - To think he was a 'Io lad. He was carried off in triumph By New York's big men to a feast. And l had no time to see him, So decided to leave the east And go home to lowa To Grundy Center, you know, Everybody knows that Thats the best place to go. l arrived home at just the right time - For a wedding was to be done And sol went, next day, To see Russell and Dena made one. 'Twas a joyful affair indeed! A result of old High school days. l'll tell you what a friendship formed then ls a friendship that usually pays. They were going on a tour To visit each member of 1910. And after that they would be at home, ln the delightful city of Holland, when All their friends both young and old Could visit their select school for any girl Beautifully situated, lovely quiet town Far removed from the social whirl l attended another nuptial feast While l was there at home. This time Vera Robins was married, And soon crossed the briny foam, And settled with her man in Gay Paree, With excellent prospects in view. Two bashful Junior maidens Decided that they would teach school And so prepareduthemselves thus. But Cupid, wicked Cupid so cruel, Shot great burning arrows Right into their hearty And from college friends They straightway did part, And began teaching a school of one. Oh! You wonder who in the world they can be, Why, ofcourse, the only two left, Vera Black and Louise C. l'd tell you heaps more, But l really haven't time, Even now l fear l have bored you, 'Till your mood is not quite sublime. 5 One thing more that concerns the class This is about our superintendent tho. He became state superintendent And lived in Des Nloines, you know, And before l return to my work To Des Moines l will surely go, And see lVlr. Love in his big olhce, So unlike his former SMALL oneg tho l probably will enter the big office, With a decidedly steadier tread, Than l oft entered the LITTLE office. With visions of di1'e misfortune, Whirling so painfully in my head. And now just let me say this about G C H S lt will ever be the best that ever graced old lowi s soil, And there'll be nothing so sweet Amid life's trials and turmoil, As to think of our High school days. Sweet, happy days of the past, And the golden memories of those days Will cling 'till the very last. And now, dearjuniors, let me say adieu' Let us strive the Senior goal to run, And make it the best of. High school years Yes, the best since school days were begun. For blue stands for sincerity, So here's to the Juniors of 1909, ln everything that we do, The Seniors of 1910 to be. White stands for Hdelity, The best class to leave G. C. H. S. So do you wonder we'll always be true, True lovers of our Alma Mater are we.

There are several species of man, that is, lst the dark, 2nd the light, 3rd the tall, 4th the short, 5th the handsome, and somepeople even say that there are some men who look like scare-crows, hut l rather doubt this last as l have never seen a man who was not good looking. ln fact all men look good to me. Nlan lives in all sorts of countries and climates, but not many men dwell with us in our Senior class. The Juniors call us the Old Maid Class, but good- ness knows it isn't OUR fault. After l graduate l am going to investigate and see if men really are as scarce as they apparently seem to be at present. l would love to make my essay on this very interest ing subject longer, but as my knowledge of men is so very limited, l must await an opportunity to gain a little experience along this line.

White Steamer. Found In a Soplfs Tablet the Morning of April 30. Juniors look rather tired and sleepy and as tho they just threw their clothes at each other just to get them on. l'll bet they sat up all night, Huh? Wonder if they will eat anything for a day or two? Wonder if Freshies are scared to look on front board? Wasn't it good that they had to take the flag down? We do not care to print the name, but following is the answers to the numerous inquiries: We feel delightfully refreshed and rested after the hoisting of our Old Glory. lf our clothes were thrown at us just to get them on, they surely stuck there real well, for we didn't notice any undressed kids in -H. S. that day. Yes, some of us Juniors DID sit up all night. WE are not old maids so had beaux. C? As to EATING-we have our usual good appetites, but we do not crave sausage like the Sophs. We do not eat such common food. The Freshies scared? Not much, nor even frighten- ed for they have the Juniors as protectors, so nuff sed. Indeed it was good that we Juniors took the flag down, for dear knows that the hen class could never have done so, and we are kind and courteous enough to help where we are needed. CThanks Sophs., for that little note, helped to nll up space nicely.J A THE CLASS OF 1910 'lui Loka Boka, Loka Boka, Loka Boka Bee Ricka Roka, Ricka Roka Juniors we, Loka Boka, Loka Boka, Loka Boka Bee, Blue and White Don't You See! What class in High school can out-do the Juniors, or is even on a level with them? As a class, the chief characteristics are secrecy and exclusiveness, and every member does his part to uphold the glory of the Blue and White. The insigna of the Junior girls is a blue and white sailor suit, which is a decidedly unique way of displaying their colors and showing class spirit. Three of our members are on the girls basket ball team, and we claim that one of them is the best player in the school. Since the base ball season has come, all are enthusiastic and hopeful for the success of the Grundy Center nine, some of whom are Juniors. One of our members helped to sustain the reputation of the school in the recent debate when we justly won from East Waterloo but were defeated by Cedar Falls. ln the last oratorical contest we received first and second honors and consequently our representative went to district. Some ofthe class are musically inclined, four belonging to the Glee club, three to the orchestra, while a few have acquired skill in playing the piano. The class of IQIO is the most popular one in the school. What other one has been entertained so royal- ly? Twice in the near past we have been banquetedg first by the Freshmen, who indeed know how to en- tertain their guests. The recollection of that evening spent in the High school parlors will always be pleas- ant. On May 21st, the Sophomores, not to be out- done by the others, also made it possible for us to have an enjoyable evening, and we fully appreciate the honor done us by each. The Seniors were entertained by us on Nlay 14. Altho the rain poured down in tor- rents, almost every one was present and each took part in making it a memorable occasion. One day there were many class meetinos and m s- D Y 7 terious conversations in the halls. The following morning at an early hour, some of the Junior boys and one of the girls were at the school house with their flag. Everything was in readiness for the raising of the Blue and White to the breezes. But alas! the fates seemed to be against us, for the wind was blow- ing at the rate of forty miles per hour Cso the boys saidj and it was unsafe to venture to put it on the flag staff. But despite adverse circumstances, the flag ap- peared floating from the highest window and there it remained for the space of an hour, when an order came from the Board of Education to haul down the flag. The Sophomores were on hand to haul it down for us and put up their own, but that order put a stop to the rivalry. l wonder where the Seniors were? ln conclusion, a few remarks will be given concern- ing the personnels of the class. At present there are eighteen members. Thomas Holck has the honor of being president and has always faithfully executed the duties pertaining to his ofiice. The vice-president is Grace Koobs. Grace hasn't had a chance yet to act officially, for Tom has always been on hand. Rus- sell Gray is secretary and Nlabel NlcBroom is treasurer. Other members of the Junior class are: Dena Boldt, Arvilla Morrison, Glenn Gray, Vera Robins, Hazel Canheld, Wesly Mooty, Alice Sperry, Florence De- Seelhorst, Dick Goodell, Wilma Williamson, Louise Cullinan, Thearl Essig, Opal Canheld and Horace Vasey. Every Junior is a loyal supporter, not only of our own class, but also of Grundy Center High School. Next year when we leave the school as graduates we hope to leave behind some influence and mem- memory which will cause the classes which follow, to do something better because of the class of IQIO. FRESHIES U 4 ASS UI TRIBUTE T0 FRESHMEN Some say the Freshmen are green, fresh or other uncomplimentary things about them, but the people who say those things, do not have Freshmen in their schools like OUR Freshmen, for if they did, such things could not be truthfully said. The Freshmen class in our school is an IDEAL class. Who is more loyal to the school than the Freshmen? Who supports athletics more faithfully than they? One would have to search very diligently for a long time to find a better class than our Freshmen class. ln truth, half of G. C. H. S. would be entirely gone if it were not for the Hrst year students, not in numbers but in value to the school. We as Juniors, want to thank you, Freshmen, for the many courtesies you have shown us this year. We appreciate them greatly. lt is not because we are Juniors and especial friends of the Freshmeng it is not that we are seeking your aid in school difhculties that we say these things about you, but it is because we appreciate true worth in a class. Keep your present standard up, Freshmen, and it willnot be merely a class or school who will be proud of you, but all with whom you come in contact.

But High school is not what I expected it it to be, from what I heard in the grades. Last fall when school commenced, of course I had to wear my hair up over a rat,in true Highschool fashion. Mamma didn't like it, but I told her I had to, to sustain the dignity of the school. The first day was the most trying experience of my life and it seemed that everything went wrong. When the first hell for class rang, I was very confused and didn't understand its meaning. After classes had pass- ed out I was informed by that man sitting at the desk in the front room, fwonder why he sits there anyhowj that it was high time that I was getting to my class room. What a time I had in finding it. First I went to the'east room and to my horror there were the Sen- iors. A burstof laughter greeted my ears as I politely shut the door. Trying the nextdoor, I found the gig- Iing Sophomores. I quickly shut the door and the next room showed the Preps. Oh! how glad I was! L Politeness apparently had not been taught the Sen- iors and Sophomores. Iwanted to learn to play basket ball, thinking it would help me to acquire that Grecian Bend that some of the upper-class men possess-so I went down to the Cgym or jim,J I don't know how its spelled. Well, I was too small to fit in anywhere. I wanted to play center as I stood the least show of being pushed down, then one of the smartie Sophomores bawled out: We don't want her there, she's too little! I wanted to turn my nose up at her, but as it was already turned up, it wouIdn't turn any further. They compromised by allowing me to play sub-there don't seem to be much fun to that, thatl can see. They all chewed gum. My! I'll be glad when I'm a Senior, cause ma w0n't let me chew gum, she says it ain't lady like, but I suppose she won't care since its the rules of the class. Some of the Seniors have beaus Cor bowS.j Ma won't let me go with every Tom, Dick and Harry, but I wish I had a sweetheart like some Senior girls I know. These are but reminiscences of my life as a Prep. HISTORY OF THE PREPS g i ln '93 Prof. Stout, then at the head of our schools, came to the conclusion that the High school pupils were not attaining their greatest etticiency, because of in- sufficient training in the grades. At that time there were eight years in the grades, and four years in the High school. Mr. Stout noticed in particular that first year in High school pupils invariably needed more grammar work, so he set to work to fine some remedy for this. At first it was thought that the addition of a kindergarten would eradicate the fault, but as our tirst grade work was merely kindergarten, it became evi- dent that the change must be made further along. lt was then that Nlr. Stout conceived the idea of adding a preparatory year to the High schoolg accordingly he asked the board to add another year to the course, making a thirteenth year course, and changing the ninth grade into a purely preparatory year, under High school supervision. This the hoard did, as a re- sult we have The Preps, lt was the intention to make this year purely preparatory, but gradually High school work has been admitted until now one-half of the work is accredited. As for the Preps, of 1909 this much can be said in their favor-Of course they always have their lessons perfect, because we all un- derstand they are anxious to enter the Freshman class. Their behavior is always the best that they know how to make it. Tho they are often a little babyish and silly, they are not to be blamed for these characteris- tics, as they will gradually discard them, under the leadership of their upper classmen. lt is true they of- ten forget and presume to take part in High school gayities and sports, yet we will pardon this as they are anxious to get acquainted with such things, so they won't appear so green next year. We sincerely 'hope to have them all with us for four years, but we are skeered that we may be bothered with some of them for a longer period of time. Goodby little Preps, goodby. We hope to meet you next year, as the Freshmen of the school. ALUM ilk s W1- MX rkk if x X Y1 'bn- X Xxx Q . Q XX A' 'f ' -N xgw , ,- 'xxx -54 W, , X,, X. ,X J- W'-. if f 'r.

You are Sophomores now so before you are Juniors let us suggest a plan whereby you as Juniors and we as Seniors can do some effective boosting in Grundy Center for the High school. Now we as the upper classmen in a way, make the ideals for the Sophs and Freshmen. What we do they are bound to imitate, fthis said in all sincerity and not as a slain j so we must be careful what we do. About the first of September we will all come hack to school ready for hard work. We will be refreshed after such strenuous work as this of IQOQ has proved to be and we will have a great amount of surplus en- ergy which must be done away with. Do not let us dispose of this energy by annoying our new teachers or hy doing useless things but let us get down and Dig for the Tattler . Remember that the 'l'attler is our High School paper and we must not, cannot do without it, but we cannot have our 'l'attler unless we boost for it. Think it over thru the summer and think of some way in which we can do boosting that will count for the 'l'attler . About the next thing that will claim our attention will be Athletics. Here also is where we need boost- ing. There are two ways to boost Athleticsg one is by giving it your undivided attention, neglecting other duties for it and the other by keeping up your studies in such a way that ALL of the persons who object to Athletics because those participating neglect their school work, will be forced to acknowledge that physie cal training and exercise only aids the mental. Now the last named is surely the best and only way to do effective boosting. Don't forget to keep up your studies and then to go in' for Athletics. Let us all strive to have good grades next year, let us all strive harder than before, please. The next thing to boost for is the Annual Contest and Debate. Here also we need good boosting. Work hard for each and let us make the contest and debate of IQIO the best in the history of the school. And now Sophs just a word of advice. lf you plan to put out an Annual get to work at it as soon as pos- sible for we know what an enormous amount ot work it is, so take our advice and begin work early. We will help you boost if you so desire, for it is for the credit of this our school that we all work. One thing above all others that needs our boosting is our school. Put in a good word for it whenever you can'. Say it is the best school in the state even if you don't believe it. Try to make others think so and thus you cannot help but become convinced that no school is one-half as good as ours considering the size of Grundy Center. Also boost for our teachers. Don't knock on them. Don't knock on -anything for fear that when you knock at Heaven's door you will be told that Heaven is no place for Knockers. So Sophs will you join us in forming a Booster's Associationu? lf so express yourself so about Sep- tember 1, 1909, when we will all be again assembled in G. C. H. S. for another year's work. We can do much if we all put our shoulders to the wheel and Push and Boost. Think it over during the summer and then when you take up the honored title of Jun- iors and we, Seniors, we may do so with a determina- tion to make 1910 the best of all years. Let us work with one another and leave behind us a good sample of what co-operation can and will do.

'-'53 That Athletics have played. the most prominent part at Grundy Center High School this year is gener- ally conceded. There has been considerable available material this year and the students have taken advant- age of it, putting out two basket ball teams and a base ball team. No football was attempted, because even tho we had the material, the men did not have the weight necessary for the pig-skin contest. The greatest interest and enthusiasm was display- ed during the basket ball season. The Teams this year were our first attempt at basket ball and we were up against the proposition of initiating a green bunch. The reports elsewhere in this book show how well we succeeded. V Toward the close of the season a bit of dissatisfac- tion was expressed at the management for putting up such a full schedule of games. The objectors tho't that a more rigid control would prevent a loss of inter- est in other school work. This is undoubtedly true and when our board limited our schedules,it bro't forth the approval of the entire student body. Prof. Love is to be especially commended for his stand towards athletics and their control. W A .M V :ffl I :Z'jF',-' , ,.

BASE BALL G 61, Prospects for a winning base ball team for the Grundy Center High school were never better than this year. All the old team were back in their places except Broderick, and great things were expected. The boys had a schedule of nine games arranged, but owing to bad weather and forfeited games only succeeded in playing three. lf the team had been able to have a good number of games they would have made a very creditable showing.

The Grundy Center High school has had her full share of victories and we are justly proud of our past record. But it is not of our our past we wish to mention as it is the present year contest. , Our local contest was held on December 18th, after two weeks of efficient training under Miss Bloom of lowa City. Each class in the High school according to custom, was represented by three speakers, one Oratorical, one Dramatic, and also one Humorous. This year there was more class spirit than ever existed as was demonstrated by each class coming in a body and sitting in seats elaborately decorated in their class colors and pennants. The contestants were as follows: Oratorical, Percy Barker, John Connell, Alice Sperry and Earnest Steffen. Dramatice, Sophia Frerichs, Nlina Lillibridge, Anna Engelkes and Wilma Williamson. Humorous, Dena Boldt, Helen Nlommer, Ray Morrison and Blanche Souers. The rankings were: Oratorical, First, Alice Sperry, Second, Earnest Steffen. Dramatic, First, Wilma Williamson, Second, Anna Engelkes. Humor- ous, First, Blanche Souers, Second, Dena Boldt. The final ranking was, First, Wilma Williamson, Second, Alice Sperry, Third, Blanche Souers. Wilma Williamson represented us at the district contest.

J 3 f - Floyd Pllilhrick Corn Dilly Russell Grlly DEBATE f G D ln finishing our first year in League debating at the close of our school last year, it was evident that we had taken a decided step toward the advancement and het- ternient of our school. We again entered the work . this year better prepared to perform a more active part in dehate. The results of this spirit was shown in our first debate of the year with East Waterloo High school. Alfho a larger school to compete with, we showed them we were made of the right stuff, Our team was carefully and ably selected by the faculty to do the work ofa winning team. The question selected bb' the State Debating League for use this year was: Resolved, That the Federal Government Should have Exclusive Control of all Corporations Doing lnterstate Business, Constitutionality Granted. Waterloo chose the negative, that side winning in a majority of theldebates held in the state. This increased the odds against us which were only to be overcome by super- iority. The evening set for the meet was Jan. 15, '09 which was one of keen interest because of the intense rivalry and spirit of the speakers. Supt. Mahanna of Traer acted as chairman and Supts. Cavana of Eldora, Nlink- le of Waverly and Hezzlewood of lowa Falls, as judges. ' Floyd Philbrick, Cora Dilly and Russell Gray com- posed our team, while Harry Reed, Esther Hurwick and Reuben Rath formed the opponents. Mr. Philbrick, our first speaker, opened the debate bl' bringing forth our points in a strong and decisive manner. After Mr. Reed, the fTl'St negative speaker finished, Miss Dilly resumed the a1tirmative's argu- ment in such a convincing and logical way that made Nlr. Reed's speech a thing of rather distant memory. The negative side of the discussion was then brought forth by Esther Hurwick in a very pleasing manner. Russell Gray then took up the cudgel for us. Russell's argument was excellent and was given with such spirit that all possibility of defeat vanished. Reuben Rath Hnished the negative of the battle for Waterloo in a very creditable way. The rebuttle was immed- iately opened and was very interesting and strong. The judge's decision was given two for old G. C. H. S. and one for the opponents. This victory over a school so much larger than ours puts us on a much higher standard and equal ,to the larger schools in the state. On Feb. 5th we were matched with Cedar Falls High school with the same team and question. Altho ourtrio were not victorious, they showed themselves true debaters. Cedar Falls has an exceptionally Hne team---having taken an active part for the champion- ship in the state for several years. r NIGHT WALKERS ASSOCIATION CF'-'-53 . Ever since my attention was called to the matter some little time ago, l have noticed that there seemed to be a peculiar aliinity between youthful couples and moonlight nights, here in Grundy Center. At first l could not comprehend but suddenly one day it dawn- ed upon my bewildered brain that there was actually a branch of the far-famed Night Walkers' Association in full swing. Certain remarks which l later over- heard confirmed my beliefs, so that now, after much arduous labor among members of the association l am enabled to append herewith a small outline, by the study of which you may understand the workings of the secret society of which ll speak.-Careful Observer Qualifications for membership. Ist. Everyone applying for membership must be unmarried. znd. No man or girl need apply unless he or she has a congenial companion. grd. No bashful person will be admitted until an effective remedy for same is found. 4th. No one-armed man nor crooked mouth lady need apply. , gth.

He has the class room for his intellect, the athletic field for his physical improvement and the various social functions for finish and polish. But still there is some- tlllllil llwlilnil. It is the art of public speaking. Ability along this line is very essential to a student just about to enter college. The Literary society furnishes this training. To satisfy this dlanand, on the 23 of Selitelnber, IQO8, the Alpha Gamma Epsilon was organized. The membership has been gradually in- Creiwlllll Su that now we have an enrollment of thirty five. The society has been doing excellent work and the members find it enjoyable as well as beneficial. We hope that we have the Alpha Gamma Epsilon on at firm basis, so that in the future many more will join with us. F N To Miss Maggie Gray belongs the credit for the Alumni department in this Annual. Miss Gray has gone to a great inconvenience in securing the directory of the Alumni, and we heartily appreciate her faithful services in their behalf. Credit is also due Miss Vera Black for the general arrangement and reading matter ofthe Annual. Vera was elected Editor-in-Chief, but was forced to resign as she decided to attend school elsewhere. Her affa- ble manner made her pleasant to work with and her ability has been of great service to us. THE ANNUAL BOARD. U15 QQ f?!fkJ THE GAMNIA SIGMA CLUB X .. GAMBIA SIGN A GAMMA SIGMA li The Gamma Sigma Club was organized in October IQO7 under the name of the N. C. Club. The charter members were: Edna Finlayson, Mina Lillibridge, Leona McCullough, Mae Galbraith, Alice Sperry, Hazel Nlutch, Wilma Williamson, Arvilla Morrison. The Hrst officers of the club were: Wilma Williamson, Pres. Leona McCullough, Vice-Pres., Ejna Finlayson, Sec. and Treas. As the club is on the secret order, not much information as to the procedures of each meet- ing can be obtainedg however, it is very safe to say, that the girls always had the best of times at each of their meetings, and many covet entrance, as only vis- itors if not members to the N. C. Club. ln March 1908 Blanche Souers was added to our number. On the zlst of September of the same year the name was changed to Gamma Sigma and a few rules, etc., changed and revised. The colors, Corn and Blue were selected. A new member, Dena Boldt, was voted into the club, thus making us ten in number. Alice Sperry was elected president, Edna Finlayson, Vice-president, Mae Galbraith, Secretary and Treas., which positions they hold at' the present. We lose one member this year, Blanche Souers, but we hope that those remaining will feel it her duty to be loyal to our club and do her best and thus we may make compensation for her loss. n Dip Ti Mini Ka Honna Ka Sa , Du Boom Da La Gamma Sigma Rah!

Each character is a real live individual. Perhaps the most interesting is Clem the old Gypsy, whose life has been one of tragedy. Hers is an important part in the play. ln her girlhood, the breach between her ranks and the man she loved caused their separation. She revenged herself and at the same time quenches her loneliness by stealing Elernor. Ruth Davis inter- preted the role of Clem especially well. She is an able impersonator and throws herself completely into her role. The four college girls and Aunt Derby are of widely different personalities. Each was represented by one whose personality seemed suited to the part. The New England types of rural humanity are em- bodied in The Twins. Nlrs. Hardscratchf' Nlehitible Doolittle and Ashrael Cllazel Nlutchj who wins the sympathies of the audience by her high-born aspira- tions and her valuable lament,over her stolen beau' These characters were carefully worked out unti each was individually widely different from the rest. Bessie White as Elernor, took her part admirably Her annunciation was clear, and her positions were natural and graceful. - The scenes in the play vary. Some - situations are decidedly humorous while others border on the pathei tic. Clem's passionate love 'for Elernor as well as Elernor's sorrow for the parents she has never knowr claim the sympathies of the audience as much as it: mirth over Ashrael's gymnastics when Fantine elopef with Billy Griffin. Fantine, the French maid, was ably taken by Vere Nlutch. Her personal appearance and carriage goes well with the role. ln .4 M N il 'H' I X Mit: I, lv e 5 I WE! , H 'ac 'E IU X l A GRN Gia, If W M 1, ma QP .- ll hy w N M X I Mm 1 MUSICAL G. C. ll. S. OIKCIIESTHA MUSIC C? D Music in G. C. H. S. has held a very prominent place for the last five years. ln April, 1904, Prof. Love organized the High school band and soon after followed the orchestra and glee clubs. All of these organizations are still in the school except the band, which was disbanded on account of so many of the members finishing their course in G. C. H. S., but the orchestra and glee clubs still exist which furnish ex- cellent music for the different occasions of the school year. Not only are those that take part in the above named organizations the only music facilities in the school, for there are numbers who play the piano with considerable skill. f To turn to the individual organizations, l will first mention the past of the G. C. H. S. band. This or- ganization which was suggested and carried out by our professor, Mr. Love, was the starting point of the musical talent in our school. The band consisted of S0l11Ei4O pieces and made rapid improvement which was shown when they gave the first concert at the opera, house and from then on when they played at the Cedar Rapids Carnival, Grundy County Fair and last of all and which was enjoyed most when they gave open air concerts during the first and second summers after organization. Next is to speak of the orchestra which is one of the most prominent musical organizations the school has, and probably ever will have. The orchestra started in the fall after the organization of the band and has had loyal support ever since. The orchestra has taken part in numerous school entertainments and other oc- casions which shows too that they are capable of giv- ing the public the popular and classical 'music of the day. f Xt f i A .

C. H. S. At the beginning of this school year, inspired by Mr. Mahlke, a board was selected and the editorial staff elected. This class of literary work was new to every member of the staff, but each one may justly feel proud of his department during the year. The Tattler has been loyally supported by the stud- ent body. Of course it required a certain amount of strenuous persuasion on the part of the Staff to secure contributions, but we hope that next year the students will be more loyal and contribute 'without being urged. A few changes and additions have been made on the staff, Miss Hazel Mutch being elected assistant local editorand Harry Burke elected business manager on resignation of 'Thomas Holckg Ray Morrison being elected assistant business manager. The aim of The 'Tattler is to represent the true sen- timent of the student body, to allow each individual to keep in touch with other schools and colleges by the exchanges received, to inspire those inclined to litera- ture and to carry the news of the institution to the alumni and other schools and colleges. Each issue of the The Tattler is looked forward to and eagerly read by each and every student and the few who do not take it read from their neighbors. Many benents have been derived by the issuing of such a publication. From our exchanges, all of which are very good, we receive new ideals which help us in our work, learn of the standard of other schools in ath- letics, debates, oratorical contests and school work and by their standards we urge ourselves on to make our dear old High school as good as any in the state. A word of thanks is due to the members of the faculty, the business men and the student body who have been of the disposition to do all in their power to assist us in getting out a good paper. ....f- r XX T 5, If Q4 T0 TTHE G- Here's to The TattIer!
