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.

6 . , , FoUR-SQUARE F OURSQUARE We have undertaken a new enter- prise in the issuing of this publication and we wish that itmay be a success. By our combined efforts we have tried to turn out something worthy of our new school, building and with this in view to furnish us a good incentive for hard work we could not fail. It is our desire that you may be- come better acquainted with us as well as have a good laugh by means of Foursquare. We have rosy dreams in publishing this, and one is that the Seniors of after years will be encouraged -to edit a paper and they may have even better success than we have. -ASSISTANT EDITOR. D TO THE CLASS OF 1925 You who will be the men and women of responsibility and achieve- ment in 1930 and 1940 and 1950: I just imagine that during your four years of High School you have been thinking of what that Chicago banker had in mind in a recent statement when he said: I wish the young men of to-day could appreciate what an education means to them. In our bank we employ nearly one thousand persons and each year from fifteen to twenty young people start work. For thirty years I have been watching these young people climbing up the ladder in banking. Two things which separate the successful from the un- successful are these: their education when they come to us and their abil- ity to educate themselves while on the job. You are coming to your new work following graduation with a certain amount of education. You have also formed habits of study and cultivated an ability to set yourselves to work. My best word to you in view of your success in life and the value which you will be to your associates is to continue your education and ,your ability to better fit yourself for the decades in store for you. Recent data regarding 24,278 sue- cessful persons show that 17,077 had college advantages, 3,119 had high school training. In other words, the tr-ained people had nearly 90 per cent ol the places of greatest value and in- fluence on life. If this fact' holds true in 1925, how much more will thev obtain for 1930 and 1940! Training becomes more and more necessary, if for no other reason than to keep up with competition. Your class numbers twenty at the end of your twelfth year in school. When you started in the first grade there were 200. What has become of the other 180? How Fine, indeed, it has been of that 180 to neglect their education so that you twenty may have the preference as to place and position in life! For the faculty and myself I wish to express to you the great satisfac- tion and comfort that has been ours to become acquainted with twenty young men and women of ambition and ideals, to work for and with you during these four years and especially so during the past year. We have come to know you, each and every one, and to enjoy a real comradeship that will be one of the choicest of joys all through life. We anticipate for each one of you a successful and well spent life. We shall look for- ward to meeting you or in hearing from you in the years to come. We shall enjoy with you your joys and hope to comfort you in your discour- agements. May I leave these lines with you? ' YEARS The ,years have passed me by like birds a-wing, I And Sorrow has been mine and Happiness, NVhile ever in my soul a song I sing To all I.,ife's wonder and its loveli- ness. I have no time for tears, as I grow ' oldg I laugh and wander on the While I dream, I bow me down before the sunset's gold, I worship in the moonlight's silver - gleam. T g To me the years are like a swarm of bees, I Who bear a wealth of honey and of , pain, ' - l I l I 4 I l V 1 6 I

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.
