Pajre three 19 THE HARRODIAN 26 HIGH SCHOOL The Harrodsburg High School, completed in February, 1924. is the first unit of three planned by the Board of Education to house the grades of a Junior and Senior I ligh School. In heating and lighting this building meets modern requirements, while in beauty of a simple and dignified order it is surpassed by few. To the building shown in the photograph has been added during the year a wing which comprises in its main room an auditorium seating seven hundred and a gymnasium. For auditorium purposes there is a large and well proportioned stage at one end. while the other is occupied by a balcony and booth for picture machine. On the main floor the seats are of the movable type and will be cleared away during the winter season for basketball. handball and other indoor games. It is hoped, through the addition of this wing, that Harrodsburg will again be privileged to hear excellent music, lectures and plays and that the pupils of the school may find valuable training in oratory, declamation, school plays and musical contests. The last unit to be added will be a similar wing, housing the seventh and eighth grades, now at the North Main Street school, as well as shops for manual training, and kitchen and sewing rooms for domestic science. W hen this is realized the city of Harrodsburg will have done generously by the children so far as material considerations are involved. Papre seven 19 The harrodian 26 BOARD OF EDUCATION Bush .

Our building was bad and its accommodations few, but no king sitting on his throne ever felt more important than we who occupied seats of the mighty Freshmen and listened to our own trembling voices repeat with Miss Henderson, “Stella est pulchra,” or solve for Miss Rupley the equation “a-j-b—«c.” Wise students, too, we were until the first month tests, then, “Of all sad words of tongues or pen. the saddest were these, it might have been— 70.’’ Profiting, therefore, by our failures we applied ourselves with greater diligence to our tasks and at the close of the year, having safely passed the crisis, were awarded the title of Sophomore. To be a Freshman means much, but to be a Sophomore means more. Xo longer were we mocked and chided by our upper classmen, no longer did the recitation bell send a thrill up and down our spines, but trusting to fate we worked with a will and at the end of the first semester were assured not only of our passing from A to B, but also of our passing from the old building to the new. At this our joy was complete, for in reality the magnificence and splendor of the Harrodsburg High School, so long dreamed of, surpassed our fondest expectations. Since new environment gives new vigor, our group of girls, under the leadership of Miss Armstrong, was soon declared the very best class in school. (We later learned that this was usually true of every Sophomore class.) When one aspires to Juniorship they are nearing the top of the ladder. Therefore, we seriously realized our position and put forth our efforts conscientiously with one goal in view, that of gaining knowledge. All moved smoothly, the monotony being occasionally broken by a trip to Lexington, Pajre twenty-fiv 19 The Harrodian 26 which our able and much-loved professor delightfully chaperoned to the Woodland Auditorium for concerts and entertainments. Thus ended the first term and the only thing worthy of note in the second term, or creating much excitement, was the harmful yet rule breaking prank played on April 1. Ah, the glory and honor of being a Senior! How long we had anticipated and how hard we had worked for the privilege. It is ours. “Ours not to reason why ! Ours but to do or die! The end of the trail is in sight and. weary, but triumphant, we will rest for a while before going forth to take our places in the great arena with thousands of others, who. like ourselves, must strive and hope to conquer— “Else why born?” Page twenty-six SENIOR CHARACTERISTICS NAME DUBBED APPEARANCE HOBBY AMBITION TEN YEARS HENCE T.

This, the Class of Twenty-six. Before you now we stand; We’ve braved the struggles for four long years And we’ve met them hand in hand. But now that our work is o’er, Out into the world we go To answer the call that comes to us all And our fitness for service show. II. We know not what the future holds. Only what the past has brought, But of one thing we’re certain— We’ve reached the goal we sought. We’ve traveled together the long, long road And now we’ve come to the end. We say good-bye on this last day Not as foes, but friend to friend. Chorus Oh! here’s to Harrodsburg High, The best school in the land, Far above all other high schools It will always stand. Whatever we may do. Or whatever we may say, We will always remember Harrodsburg High In the very best sort of a way. Prk«� twenty-nine 19 THE HARRODIAN 26 Class mill (_!_ (_ We, the Class of 1926, being about to pass out of this sphere of education. in full possession of over-taxed nerves, over-worked brains, and overcrowded minds, do make and publish this our last will and testament. Item We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. Hut they have all done their duty and verily now shall they have their reward. Item We give and bequeath to the Junior Class all such boys as were not able to keep pace with such brilliant girls as compose the majority of our class, trusting that the Junior girls may be able to hold firmly to them and steer them firmly next year through the gates of commencement, that they may not share in the humiliations that have been ours at not being able to “hold our men folks”—as the women of the world would put it. Item The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal. I. To Miss Henderson and Miss Armstrong the silence in the halls. II. To Lucille Ison, Tavner Adams’ “much ado about nothing” spirit. III. To J. D. Turley, Jack Buster's interest in Margaret Riley. IV. To the Freshmen we leave basements as parking space for kiddie cars, tricycles and milk bottles. V. To Nelva Currens and Evelyn Houchins, Grace Sanders’ and An nelle Davenport’s ability to sing. Phro thirty 19 The Harrodian 26 VI. To Leva Taylor, Christine Huff's oratorical ability. VII. To Norman Bertram, Bernice Sutherland's sleeping sickness. VIII. To anyone who needs it, Leon Gibson's bluff. IX. To Campbell Menaugh, J. I). Baxter's credits. X. To Thelma Moreland, Christine Carter’s parking space for her car. XI. To Alma Latta, Frances Corby’s gab. XII. To James Davenport, Russell Campbell’s secret of playing third base. XIII. To Elizabeth VanArsdall, Lena Cloyd's ancestors. She feels she will not need them anymore. She can face the world behind her own coat of paint. XIV’. To Viola Parks, Gladys Patterson’s meekness. Now we do hereby constitute and appoint the said Principal sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we. the Class of 1926, the testators, have to this, our last will, set our hands and seal this, the 31st day of May, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six. Patre thirty-one THEHARRODIAN 26 CLASS POEM oooooo Today is the day of rejoicing. Our trials and troubles are ended, Ended with smiles and with tears, are our High School varied experiences. Only a memory remains—pleasant, yet mixed with sadness Of hours joyous and gay, of hours filled with gloom and depression. Today is the day of gladness. Behind us are the weeks of hard study, What have we won in school, in this the school of great learning. Where boys join themselves together to live like brothers thereafter. Where girls entering these halls spent days of great joy and much sadness? Wasted were some of those hours and the days are forever departed, Scattered like dust and leaves, when the mighty blasts of the tempest Seize them and whirl them aloft and sprinkle them far o’er the country. Naught but memories remain, memories of achievement and failure. Ye who believe in students that hope and endure and are patient, Ye who believe in the adventures of this great education, List to the joyful story that is told by the poet of this year. List to a tale of adventure as told by one of our High School. Should you ask me from whence are gathered this band of courageous students, For our campus and class room. I’d tell you Pa«e thirty-two They came from the schools of the county and from the eighth grade of our city. Here they met on the campus and with bashful eyes looked at each other. Silent, timid, uncertain, and green as ever were Freshmen. But the teachers of various classes and the noble Superintendent Looked with compassion upon them and met them with smiles and welcome. For they knew they were very young and very ignorant children. Month after month went by, months tilled with sorrow and gladness, Within the various rooms as classmates they strove together Wrestling with difficult problems that the teachers set ever before them. Until the year passed away, yes, passed and left them still living. Sophomores now were they and ready for their vacation. Happily down the street they went with shouts of rejoicing. The next year brought added problems, such as tried their bold spirits. But with courage undaunted they strove till they found themselves Juniors. Busy and cheerful were they, hoping, working and planning. Often in groups they were seen holding sage counsel together. With pride they would say to each other, “See what we have accomplished!’’ Patje thirty-thre 19 The Harrodian 26 “Great deeds we have done in the past, greater tilings we will do in the future, That our classmates and parents and teachers may speak with pride of our progress.” Trials they had. to he sure, hut they had learned how to meet them. Only the fear of a zero at times disturbed their serenity. Gaily they worked together and eagerly longed for the coming Of the day when with the wisdom of Solomon they would go forth from the Halls of Learning. At last three long years were ended, and they as Seniors were happy. Looking toward the end of the way which now was not very far distant. Then came examinations, days of excitement and trouble, Brave hearts trembled with fear lest, when tried, they should find themselves wanting, But the tests were over at last and the graduates passed from the High School. Mighty, the Seniors go forth, but not to a life of inaction. Out in the world they will take their place in the army of workers. —Eula Best. P«Ke thirty-four 19 THE HARRODIAN 26 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY oooooo Looking at the famous Junior Class of 26 one would never guess that just two short years ago we entered High School as fifty trembling Freshmen. Some of our number were survivors of our city graded school, while others were recruits from the ranks of county pupils. High were our hopes, but low was our courage on that eventful morning when we presented ourselves as targets for the sarcastic criticisms of the mighty Sophomores. 'Flic work was hard, but zeal and enthusiasm helped us over most of the rough places. One task assigned to us was very difficult. All pupils in the school were required to write an essay on “Pioneer Life in Kentucky,” as their part in the celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of our town. We all wrote, but none of us was lucky enough to receive the prize. This year, like all Freshman years, was uneventful because all class activities were confined to Juniors and Seniors. W hen September came we were no longer timid Freshmen, but sophisticated Sophomores. The class had decreased in numbers because some had dropped out and others had changed schools. This year was very much like the preceding one. with only an occasional break in the monotony. The most sensational event of the year came on the first of April, when we, encouraged by the examples of the Seniors and Juniors, joined in a general revolt and cut school for the entire day. We also participated in the punishment which followed ! I'atfe thirty-seven 19 The Harrodian 26 As usual, the faculty departed in a body to attend the annual meeting’ of the K. K. A., and we took advantage of our holiday and gave a picnic at High Bridge, the mecca of high school picnickers. W hen we assembled this year as Juniors, only thirty-five of the original fifty answered roll call. We decided that, in order to start well, we would once again journey to High Bridge, and then come hack and settle down to real work. The class was organized early, and we voted to buy a pennant which has never been bought. We also decided to give a Hallowe’en party. Miss Josephine Morgan very generously offered her home, and the affair was a great success. 1'he year has been a good one, and we are looking forward to next year as the best one of our high school career. May we make it such! Page thirty-fiffht 19 THE HARRODIAN 26 JUBILANT JUNIORS oooooo B is for Bertram so silent and slow. The boys call him “Sleepy” which fits him just so. C stands for Cocanougher, a mouthful to say. Whose talent in drama is shown in each play. I) is for Durr—so sylph like and small, If voiceless, he wouldn’t he noticed at all. E is for Everett whose last name is Black, Whenever he’s tardy we'd like him to “smack.” F is for a lad whose surname is Florin Who is noted for producing the dangerous chlorine. II is for Henderson who broadcasts so well That the “fans” think they’re hearing W H L. I is for Julian who comes now and then ; If asked why lie’s absent lie always asks “W hen?” K is for a boy by the name of Kays, Onie is known for his studious ways. M is for Moore—so this boy explains. But how do we know—when we can’t read his name? Another M stands for our player, Menaugh, He throws the best ball you most ever saw. P is for Pollard who aspires to be As great a musician as Paderewski. R stands for Ralph—of them there are two; If they keep on at this rate they may some day get thru. T stands for Turley with manners so fine. As an artist he’ll be the best in his line. T. too, is for Thomas whose last name is King, Whose knowledge to the surface ’tis quite hard to bring. Y is for Van Divier with first name romantic, Whose ambition it is to roam the Atlantic. Last, but not least, is our popular Pierce. Whose attacks on girls’ hearts are certainly fierce. Pasre thirty-nine 19 The Harrodian 26 The Junior girls are destined to fame And it gives one great pleasure to call them by name. There’s Lucille and Alma, whose joy is not complete Unless Elizabeth VanArsdall they happen to meet. And Viola Parks is always seen W alking home with Josephine. Mary Graves is a blonde of great renown While Estelle rarely wears a frown. Mr. McKemie is proud of Lottie so wise And Elizabeth Sorrell who speaks with her eyes. Mina Ria likes to study and learn what she may, Xelva Currens has always a kind word to say. “Pat” is athletic and sings like a bird. The sweetest songs one ever heard. By being so pretty and looking her best, Thelma won our beauty contest. Archie has found a place in all hearts; Lois completes the things that she starts. Margie fears only a Geometry exam And Leva can pass without having to cram. Mary Helen is tall but gets by just the same. hile Virginia is short and does never complain. So here’s wishing them luck their whole life through W herever they are. whatever they do. —Lena Clovd. Pave forty 19 The Harrodian Pa re forty-two SOPHOMORE CLASS 19 THE HARRODIAN 26 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY oooooo On September 15, 1924, we. with inward gayety hut outward gravity, presented ourselves as candidates for admission to H. H. S. When time for enrollment came the high tide of excitement began to ebb and our courage gave place to a feeling of depression. “Conscience makes cowards of us all and the remembrance of C’s which might have been A’s and B’s caused us to blush and stammer in the presence of the august body of new teachers. Heretofore we had been accustomed to remain in one room all day. but now everv few minutes at the sound of a bell we found ourselves pushing and being pushed out of the rooms and into the corridors, frantically rushing to and fro in search of the room and teacher where we were next due. Not only were we confronted with new teachers and customs, but, what was worse, with new subjects. Instead of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” with which we had been familiar since childhood, we now heard our classmates speaking falteringly in an unknown tongue, “Mica. Mica, Parva Stella.” And again, instead of 3-J-3=6, we are expected to learn that x-(-y=6. Stranger and more strange ! As time wore on the strangeness gradually passed away and a little of our former courage was revived. And in spite of the sneers of our superiors ( ?), Seniors. Juniors and Sophomores, we, with a few zeros and several A’s, came to the end of our first semester. Now we were allowed to enter the forbidden front door which hitherto had been reserved for the faculty while we had to drag our tired feet to the side door. We appreciated the privilege, but sighed for other worlds to con t|uer and looked with envious eyes upon the Seniors who had Library and Hall privileges and who might, at the risk of being sent home, cut class occasionally. Page forty-three 19 The Harrodian 26 Nothing of uncommon interest happened until April first, when the majority of the students played hookey. Only a few of the Freshmen took part in the general revolt, they having not been in high school long enough to become immune to the rigors of a five-hour session in study hall. With the coming of May twenty-seventh, we Freshmen celebrated our hard won victories with a picnic at High Bridge. Almost before we realized it, September had come again and as sophisticated Sophomores we again took our places in the rank and file. At roll call several were missing. Some had grown weary and had fallen by the wax-while others had launched their frail barks upon matrimonial seas. New class officers were elected and class pins were selected and ordered. This year was very like the preceding one, only at its end we find that we have grown in stature, self-confidence and knowledge. May we. as Juniors, continue as we have begun and exemplify in our work our class motto: “To the Stars Through Bolts and Bars.” 19 The Harrodian 26 SOPHOMORE SHEIKS! There are eighteen sophisticated sophomore sheiks With changeable voices in shrieks and in squeaks. Their sweaters and ties can he seen for a mile And the shine on their hair, oh boy, makes you smile. At Latin and Algebra they're not very good, But English and History they’d learn if they could. Of drawing and music this class has its store For with Armstrong and Bonta who could ask more? From morning till night we hear Edwin Rue’s giggles And at the same time we see James Martin’s wiggles. Speaking of wiggles there are others we might mention. To Soaper and Sanders we cal! your attention. At this time the class interest is centered in dancing. Papre forty-five 19 The Harrodian 26 But really to be honest we must call it prancing; To master the “Charleston” is their latest ambition And if they succeed sad will be their condition. Many’s the time they cast languishing glances Toward fair maidens who do not repel their advances. And there we confess that Cupid’s sharp dart Has pierced to the depths the vice-president’s heart. There's one among us who has bravely withstood All the arts and the wiles that the rest think so good. 1 he even tenor of his way Haldon does keep. He studies till ten. then to bed and asleep. But now ere we close we give you your due And say with all truth—Sophomores, to you. In play and in work you’re honest and fair And we’ve always found you to be on the square. Pasre forty-six 19 The Harrodian 26 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY oooooo On September 7. 1925, we entered II. H. S. with shaking knees and “runaway” hearts. We did not know where to go or what to do, but after a time some of the advanced students took pity on us and showed us to our rooms. To classify fifty or sixty Freshmen takes time, so for almost a week we roamed about the corridors like “lost sheep.” We were told fearful stories of long hours which we would spend in a place called “Study Hall,” if we broke the rules, and as we did not know the rules we were afraid to move without asking permission. In a few weeks we learned the “thou shalts” and “thou shalt nots,” and by Christmas, while not exactly model students, we were quite well behaved. Examinations seemed to come very soon. We were told by everyone how fearful they were. Exams! The very name made our knees shake and hands tremble. But we lived through them and the fittest survived. And now we are looking forward to next year, when we will be Sophomores and we can treat others as others have treated us. —Alma Ballard. 19 The Harrodian 26 FRESHMEN FUNNIES Hollie ..........

Our teams have been not so much “outplayed” as “outweighed” by the opposing teams. We are proud to say that what they have lacked in size they have made up in grit and have everywhere and at all times manifested the true fighting spirit. The team of ’25 was composed of the following men: Roach, Captain James and Board, Coaches Campbell M oore T rower Betram Soaper Mitchell Coconougher Renfro Sutherland Reed (iibson Blister Daugherty Watts Ison Baxter Black Seven games were played which resulted in three defeats, two ties and two victories.

The boys were equally successful, making an average of .500 per cent and distinguishing themselves by scoring the only shutout game of the season known in Kentucky—score, 22 to 0. Our greatest honors of the year were won at the Frankfort tournament when both boys and girls were awarded the cups and honors for being the teams exhibiting the best sportsmanship of all entered in the tournament.

However, one play has been given each year by Juniors and Seniors and latent talent has been brought to light which, if rightly developed, might have produced a Valentino or a Lillian Gish. This year we have our beautiful new auditorium and three one act plays bv the Freshmen and Sophomores and one three act play by the Juniors and Seniors were successfully produced. Believing as we do in the importance of training students in interpretation and expression we are anticipating with pleasure the time when good plays well “put on will be a required part of our curriculum. oooooooocooo THE LOTTERY MAN Cast ...............Robert Cocanougher ..................Lee Taylor Ison ....................Phoebe Soaper ....................Tavner Adams ..............Annelle Davenport ...................Christine Carter ...................Christine Huff ...................

Perhaps had it not been for some meeting of our club we could never have known the pleasure of hearing An-nelle and Grace sing so beautifully Stars of the Summer Night’’ or we would have never known that Claud would answer present when his name was called. The club lias also been the center of the class social activities. In the first year, under the presidency of Phoebe Soaper. two large parties were given. In the second year, under Christine Huff, other parties and hikes were given. These were always eagerly looked forward to by invited ones as well as members, for they have the reputation of being live wires. We expect the members of this extraordinary club to become America’s future leaders, both in political and the business fields. —Christine Huff.

Written matter was of no avail on the illiterate masses; wherefore traders “hawked” their wares unto a purchasing public. What a contrast to our American civilization ! Our widely scattered millions now read the ancient crier’s evolutionized message at approximately the same moment. The advancement in our public educational system has made it possible to harness this tremendous force now known as Advertising. We pride ourselves that our mental equipment enables us to patronize advertisers and by so doing we contribute to the economic greatness of America.
