8 . . FOURSQUARE A short time before the cross coun- try run at Oswego, Hannibal was re- quested to participate. We lost, not because of being outrun but because of being outtrained. We hope in the spring to show them our heels. The baseball prospects are bright for the coming season, as we have several of our former stars, besides promising recruits to enter the field, and we feel that with the support of the students and the people of Hanni- bal we can put across many victories. In other words we call for real school spirit to encourage and pro- long athletics. I JACK and J AKEN. El Basket-Ball Line-Up Captain-Crafton Phelps. Manager-Glen Blodgett. Center--Winfield Kranze.

A LONG STORY A babbling brook, A shady nook- Her hand he took, Now she's his cook. .11 -QLASSES .er English I Class 1 The history of English I is short and precise, for that reason it will not take long to relate. When we studious little beings came into Hannibal High School, we had a vague knowledge of the work expected of us. Now things have changed, each and every one knows that which he is expected to do and he does it with a brave, confident feeling. Through our teachers' kind expres- sions, their thoughtful ways, and in- terest, we are all on the way to prog- ress which will make us successful in our future work. lil English ll Class Two short years ago, we entered Hannibal High School. This was the beginning of our High School career. The most important event during the first year was the laying of the cor- ner stone of the new building. The following yell was given by our class: Rah! Rah! Rah! Twenty-seven is our number, Can't you hear us yell like thunder, 'Z7l '27l '27l Our second year began in the new building, much to our great joy. As we were now thoroughly initiated into high school life, we decided to give a Christmas party in the auditorium. A Fine time was said to have been en- joyed by all present. Although the number of members has decreased to twenty-one, we still intend to hold our ,heads high with many hopes for the future. -R. WASHBURN, F. ADSITT.

I-IANNIBAL HIGH SCHOOL . 7 And they are like a wind ,among the trees, Or like a host of Howers in the rain. --Edgar Daniel Kramer. L S. R. LOCKWOOD. at ATHLETICS af Rules and Regulations of the Athletic Association of Han- nibal High School Said regulations may be amended at any time by majority vote of the Association. . I. To be eligible to play on any team representing Hannibal High School, the players must carry a pro- gram to make at .least eighteen counts, unless a member of the Senior Class. II. Such students must maintain an average of 75'Zn. . III. Such -students must also be regular and prompt in attendance, un- less they have some reasonable ex- cuse. IV. Such students must maintain a high standard of deportment at all times. V. Said players are to meet the regulations made by the various coaches. El Girls' Athletics The Girls' Basket-Ball Team was organized during the latter part of October, 1924, with Miss Block as coach. Louise Matteson was ap- pointed captain of the team and Har- riette Andrews, manager. I The team consisted of: Mildred Washburn, centerg Bernice Mitchell, right forwardg' Louise Matteson, left forward: Sylvia Bruder, right guard: Joan McDonald, left guard, and our subs can't be beaten. We had only been organized a week when we met the Wolcott five and we were defeated because of their ancient skill. But when the meek Fair Haven females opposed us we were victorious by an overwhelming score. We have -been challenged by Pulaski and Mexico, but because of our unlimited skill and our sympa- thetic feelings the games were called off. Mitchell is our prize basketeer be- cause of her keen Gray eyes. Sylvia is able to Foster the ball in an ex- cellentinanner, and as Joan is expe- rienced in tactics of warfare versus General Forbes we have a strong- hold. Because of Washburn's grace- ful dancing ability she is able to con- quer the first send-off by her wicked throw. Louise with her expectant wistfulness after shooting for a basket we'll say'er fSayreJ way of playing has given us all a lot o' pep and we Grant our team will always win. --LOUISE MATTESON. lj . Boys' Sports We entered this year in a new school, with many possibilities offered to put Hannibal on the map in va- rious sports. ' To'start the thing right an Athletic Association was organized between the girls and boys with' the following officers elected: President, George Longleyg Vice-President, Mr. Ecker-g Secretary and Treasurer, Louise Mat- teson. This serves to unite the school body so that everyone will be working for the same purpose. The far-sighted Board of Education was so generous as to furnish us with a gymnasium sufficiently large for a basket-ball court. Being so accom- modated, we grasped our opportunity and scheduled various games. The first game ,with VVolcott, one of the fastest teams in the state, proved disastrous to our untrained and uncoached team. The boys saw through this defeat, their many faults and by hard training they were re- warded by a victory over a fast Os- wego team, who had an enviable rec- ord. Another fast quintet represent- ing Minetto defeated our boys in a hard fought game on our home court. Thirsty for revenge, our team de- feated Fulton on the succeeding Fri- day night by a decisive score. The next few games were unsuccessful, owing to the lack of the full-fledged support of the student body, and in- experience.

, HANNIBAL HIGH SCHOOL . . , 9 English Ill Class .. . With many misgivings and quakings ' of heart, , We started in High School at the first start. In our Freshman year, we were so , sincere I That We gained a good entrance in our school career. As Sophomores next, now didn't we have fun, We thought at 'that time, we were going some. We chose our banner, violet. and white, Such a pretty one there never was quite. ' This we have started with ai111 so high, , It won't hit the fence but go to the sky. ' And now we will try hard and pro- ceedj To tell you about each one and his deed. Frances Kranze, we are proud to say, Is our President, happy and gay. She keeps the ball of mirth a-rollin', VVhich is really quite consolin'. Harris Lockwood, the professor's kin, Plays in the orchestra on his violin. VVhen we hear Skeesix humming, Then we know La Vern is coming. John Gray, whom all hope will be Q Famous as Gray who wrote Elegy . , a If from Howard VanWie you should need some help, You would lind him down in the base- ment testing milk.

William Simmons would not make a y preacher, But we-think he would shine as a dancing teacher. . i Gladys Parsons is very amiable, But in some things she's quite change- able. i I' Paul Eno goes through High School at a fearful pace, ' With always a smile on his honest face. Ada Guinup, you will soon see, Is a true member 'of English III. ' Bernice Place builds castles in the air, But she never thinks of bobbing her hair. Harold Blake will undertake ' To build a Ford that will never stop No matter how the roads are blocked. Down thestairs in the gym, Franklin Barry is full of vim. Sylvia Bruder thinks it worth while To follow up the latest style, ' Indeed we think she would cut oil' her nose Rather than not wear the latest clothes. ' Look out! Coxy, ' I Those girl scouts are said to be foxy. Barbara Horton is very fair With her curly eyes and coal-black hair. When we see Elizabeth Simmons We all think she's very stunnin', Sometimes she says things cunnin', But always keeps her tongue a-run- nin'. Walter Perkins takes great delight, In doing geometry every night. Glen Blodgett, by his oratory Will rival Demosthenes, In the old Qreek story.
