Our minds from our lessons silently strays, To places where memories lie. We think of the class mates who have married, And the ones who have lately enrolled. And we remember the times we have tarried, When we had oral reports to be told. Algebra, our temper tester Has caused us many sighs With its tendency to continually pester, And cause our temper to rise. During school life we've had many a tumble,- In exams and physical ed. too. But we've scarcely uttered a mumble, Because we're too gay to be blue. -Margaret Sherman, '28 ...0.-.

Our class has orators of renown, They have their talent too, Artists, singers, and musicians are . found, I And athletics that play right through.

Since last year we have lost six To another school they went to mix But we have a lively class yet For over our books we study and sweat. We have given one play this year That many came to see and hear The name That's One On Bill The best play ever given on this hill. Three of our boys on the basketball team How proud of them every one seemg One of them captain of the local five And every game to win they have tried. A better class cannot be found For a thousand miles around And when any one becomes famous and great Let it be a SOPHOMORE of 1928. SONG CTune Susannah Good old sophomores I've traveled 'round about, and all the kids Who've left our class are only camping out. Here's to sophomores, your days shall never end, The best class in the whole, wide world, When a fellow needs a friend. Sophomore's calling, hell-o folks to you. Everybody back in class are saying howdy too. Sophomores study and yet we have some fun. We'd like to see you with us in the best class und Van Murreil er the sun Su erltd 5----fm . . , , ,,,, .

FRESHMEN OF '28 When we came here last September, There was no one here we knew 3 And everyone made fun of us, But finally we pulled through. They called us freshies , green , and 'Till we thought 'twas time to cry, But with teachers kind and dear to us, At last, that time passed by. We had lessons too, oh boy, They were as hard as everythingg And toward the first of school, we'd think, The bell would never ring. And 'specially, it was hard for us, i When we'd worked with zeal and spunk, Then we'd get our grades at last, And they would say: you've flunked . Our work was not all work, Although our work was hard, 'Cause every little while, ' We could play 'till we were tired.

Act II.--In Mrs. Clinton's Home. Afternoon. Act III-Still at Mrs. Clinton's. The next evening. This play proved a success from beginning to end. Both the crowded house and hearty applause gave evidence of this. This play was crowded with many laughable situations. Isaac, the Jew, an antique dealer is distracted over the ruin of a mummy, which he has sold to Mrs. Clinton his best customer. In order to help the Jew and also as a means of interviewing his sweetheart, Mildred Clinton, Jimmie Maynard poses as a mummy and is taken to the Clinton home, where he is the principal attraction at a masquerade tall. Imagine his chargin when he hears his best friend, Ray Hud- son, making love to Mildred. The play ends happily, however, for all the characters. In due time, the real mummy arrives, Jimmie wins his sweetheartg and Isaac does not lose the patronage of his best customer, Mrs. Clinton. All the characters played their parts with their usual excellence Wayne Wood, as the Jew, lent much humor to the play. Waldo Mott, the mummy or poor stiff , was equally funny. Mrs. Gorman, who directed the play, is deserving much of the credit for coaching such a pleasing, successful play. - Su erita S - Junior Class Pldq Done ln Gil 'Given Jdnudrig 26, 1928 CAST OF CHARACTERS Mr. Braun fa jolly Germany ............. . . . .

I am sure 1 Cannot 599 Why they should, for to me it seems the hardest of all words to say,-for that last word must be to many, if not all of us, Goodbye. We the class of nineteen and twenty-eight, have finished the course that has been given us, and are ready for a step forward alone the Pathway of life. We, who stand tonight at the meeting between a happy past and an unknown future, have not reached the end but the commencement of our lives. So far we have come to- gether hand in hand, and have been looking forward to this time of graduation as a glad one, forgetting that it would mean a time of parting. Tonight, as we are about to step forth into the worlds arena, we are filled with the zeal of Class Patriotism. We must consider something of what we are, or ought to be, as citizens of the nation in a'l the world, natural results of the class patriotism which we each feel so keenly. Gentlemen of the Board of Education, Parents, as well as friends we realize that it is your silent influence at work that has laid the foundation for this hour, and has made it possible for us to stand here before you tonight. We naturally feel that we are bet- ter than many of those who attend school in other placeshand un- der other conditions. Therefore, we are very grateful to those who have made it possib'e for us to attend this school. We know that the questidn which arises in your minds, as well as in everyone of ours is, Just what will we get out of life? This question you have the right to ask and also the right to expect a full reply. We are going to get out of life just exactly what we pay for-- just what we put into it-just what we will to buy from the world at the figures that the ages have placed upon Iife's gifts. Everything in the world has its price, and we cannot gain one advancement nor advantage without, sometime or other being called upon to pay c-x ery ounce of its value. Then, it remains for each one of us to de- cide within ourselves what we muost earnestly desire to get out of life-what is really most worth our while-and then reasonably and delibertly sit down and count the cost. Mem -:rs of the Facu'ty, we begin to grasp a little more defin- itely the value of your work in instilling with our minds a few of your own noble principles and lifty ideas. We begin to realize how grateful we must feel to you for these few years of learning that will be so helpful through our life. We have so much that we would like to say, but a curious lump comes into our throats and we are choaked with unspoken thoughts that keep back the words. So we can only face each in turn and brush aside the tears, knowing we must leave you. Dear teachers, you must all know how deeply we feel this, and can realize how much we mean by the only words that we can find to say-God Bless You! Friends of the undergraduate class, we are leaving you in the best and most capable hands we know. May your remaining school days be bright, happy, and worth while. May you never be satisified until you have gained the very best that this school has to offer. May the same ideals which have glowed in our hearts continue to radiate in your lives. Classmates, there is only one word more, and the last one must be to you. We have in our work here learned to love each other. ...lili- Su eriia Freshman Class Plau Ai The End of the L.-ine Given march 29, 1928 Jim Denver Harry Sanders .. John Randal Bud Nix .....

We have shared the same pleasures, the same triumphs, an the same disap- Dolntments for so long that we shall miss the old companionship more than we now realize, when we are too far apart ti enjoy it any longer. We shall not forget each other and may we always think of these days as happy days, that made us as class mates, a little nearer and dearer than mere friends. Let us as we part, pledge our selves to remember all the true and lofty aims that have been born in our work here together. May we make our lives such as will bring pride to our school and community, and cause our dear in- structors to be justly proud that they had the task of teaching us. Now in this, our final appearance as students of dear old Hartville High School, we bid you each and everyone, farewell. -Grace Latimer. SALUTATORY ADDRESS To the president and members of the board of education of the City of Hartville, to the Superintendent and teachers of the Hart- ville High School, to the dear and appreciative friends here assembl- ed, I bring greetings of the class of 1928. The class of 1928 extends to you a most cordial welcome to this our commencement exercises. Tonight we have reached that goal for which we have striven 'these four long, yet seemingly short years. For four years this graduation ceremony has been the mark toward which we have climbeu, and our success causes a certain feeling of pride within us. To you, this may be indeed a pleasant occasion, for we certain- ly have done our best to make it so, but at last, it will be only one of many, many such occasions in your life, wnicn, enjoyab.e as they may all be at the time, will be but fleeting in their iniluence. To us, it is a great occasion, and bound to live forever in our memories. To you, it maybe but a pleasant place to be amused for an hour, and while the time away, to us, it is a gleaming milestone along the journey of life, and tne interest you snow in us by coln- ing to bid us God-speed on the way is most deeply and truly appreciated. To those, who can remember their own thoughts and emot- ions on simi.ar occasions in their own lives, it will be a pleasant reminder oi those early hopes and aims, and will incite in them a deeper sympathy and understanding of all that we are feeling and dreaming, as we enter into the exercises of this night. To our parents and relatives, it is an hour of pride and alf- ection, to our teachers an hour of mingled joy in our success and regret, we trust over the necessary parting. So much you see, de- pends upon the individual point of view. As for us, this occasion closes an epoch in our lives-the most important period that we have known, and one of the ut- most value in its bearing upon all our future careers. As we look back over the past four years, we feel that we can truthfully say that we have done our best, at all times and in all places, to make the most of every opportunity, so far as our young minds were able to understand it. We intend to continue to do that same best at all the times and at all the places where fate may hereafter direct our paths. Now we are sure at this time, every one must realize something of what it means to us, and while grieving with us at the saundering of the dear class ties that each year has made stronger, must at the same time rejoice with us that infer- H-suv-W -ff- ------'amass-V-u f-fn W -I' Su eriia --'-T' have been able to accomplish so much. But having attained this high place, we are still lowly, we do not scorn the ladder by which we have ascended and hope that we may not stop here, but keep on climbing higher and higher. We ask you then, again dear friends, to be glad with us and for us, as we enter upon the program of the hour, being sure that we are all most earnest in assuring you of our joy at having you with us, and that we in the warm inspiration of your presence, are most sincere in telling you, that you are truly welcime at this, our commencement exercises. -Mildred Reese. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Look! Listen! A prophecy unto the young men and women of Hartville High School. Radical changes may take place but it effects not the revolution of time. For four long years we have struggled together, always having before our mind's eye, some ultimate goal. We have mounted another step on the ladder of success but the highest step is still beyond our ' power of vision. Many great obstacles have impeded our path during the interven- ing time, but by strong elfort we have battled on. . In the course of a few years we may be represented in all parts of the globe. We will soon be forever free from coercion and will assume the responsibilities of action upon our motives. Whether or essence out opportunity constitution As the not our true motives will enable us to get the real of life depends ,upon the individual. We have every that a highly developed civilization affords, and our offers us all the essentials of humanity. prophet rolled back the curtain of the dim Beyond from bcfore my prophetic vision, he pernlitted me to gaze at will down the long vista of things yet to be, transformed unto all things that they shall yet become, even as it was so granted to the wise men of the past. As I looked into the land of the future I could discern moving among dim shadows of the people, the familiar shapes' of those fair and radiant l:-eings who were once my class mates, now trans- formed into citizens of the world. As it came to pass the veil before mine eyes grew yet more and more thin through the intensity of my visiong I could see them even as if the intervening years were not at all. I could see our beloved president, Earl Graves, of 1928, with all his dignity, 'and majestic bearing, and his words were heeded by that day and generation even .as we to-day of the class of 1928 have heeded and attended unto them, for his ambition had led him upward and onward until he is governor of his own and native state. Again I look into the dim Beyond, into the professional circles in a large office, where among men of high minds, sat a prosperous lawyer, whom I recognized again as Dan Simmons. As I looked again, I could see among the social circles, among those who were .most fair to look upon were three of our old class- mates: Cledith Pryor, Oleva Hickman, and Irene Rippee. While I was gazing into the future I heard sweet strains of music as my eyes fell upon a beautiful singer, who held her aud- ience enthralled by her melodious voice. Immediately I recognized this great Prima Donna to be none other than Mabel Cottengim 6 Y i I 1 I L I V l s l i l l l I i 1 l l 1. - T Su eriid Il- While I pondered these things in my heart, the great singer :amshed and. before my eyes was a grand stand filled with people. f hzmber ot baseball player dotted the diamond. I recognized two o t em to be Waldo Mott and Ansel Newton, two great star play- 4-rs for the New York Yankees. . .NOW a Change came over the spirit of my dream, and I felt Wlthm my heart a burning desire to see my old chums, Lucille Chapman and Mabel Vanzant, until the spirit of prophecy respon- ded to my unspoken wish, conducted me to an apartment where the two sat by a fireplace. Ma' el, now a famous pianist, was ca'l- ing forth sweet strains of music from her instrumentg while Lucille glanced inldelightlful time to the music. My heart was stirred with- n me as saw t e vacant chairs and noted their frequent anxious 819-IICGS toward the doorway for the coming of their old sweet- heart? ofi 19385 Joe and Arron to complete the circle. mi a t is background a woman appeared before me, whom I could easi'y recognize as Pauline Gorman. Pauline had been croilmed queen of a Telegraph Operator's heart and there she still resi es. Then before my eyes I saw an old gray haired man who had evidently traveled the wrong path by marrying a widow with six children. I recognized Orville Jones, who said that children always took his eye. Evidently he was now satisfied. I now beheld a scene in which I saw a large hospital in Spring- field, Missouri. ,I saw a young lady standing on the steps whom I recognized to be Jewell Wynn, in a nurse's uniform. She had evi- dently realized her ambition to become a nurse. Listen! Coming a circus. To my amusement, I noticed the peculiarities that accompanied the circus. I found .Iewell Carter holding the position of a fat lady and Clifford Coday, that of a clown. There now appears a woman engaged as a saleswoman for the Armond Company at Des Moines, Iowa. She specializes in the sale of powder and rouge, but the manager says she uses far more than she sells. I see Flora Carter, now facing the mirror with powder puff and powder in a hotel at Des Moines. I now behold a photographer's studio in my old home town of Hartville. I soon recognized the owner to be none other than our photographer, Vernon Pearman, of 1928. I found that Vernon was living as an old bachelor. While I was gazing at these strange things, I saw two sma'l school houses with two old maids as teachers, whose time is occu- pied in instrusting and developing the minds of the future gener- ation. After trying hard for many years to get someone 'to have them, Iris Rippee and Lora Dickinson gave up in despair. Then they took their spite out on the poor school children, because fate had dealt so unkindly with them. As it takes all kinds of people to run the many businesses in the world, naturally we cannot expect all of the class of 1928 to be prosperous. By chance, I was a':le to discern Paul Wakefield on the square in Hartville, Missouri, calling to all who passed, Shoe Shine! Ten Cents. the distance I was able to distinguish Fay Pryor and Gold- ie Pggrman in their little Beauty Shop, Fay and Goldie are still inclined to vamp the first man who comes along for they are afraid they are going to have to live as old maids. 1 I Behold! I observe another senior of 1928 with whom Destiny . Su Qfih-1 .4-iii has not dealt so well. Chester Henslee had graduated from Missouri University and had married, but is now paying his divorced wife, Ruth Mott, her alimony. There is now revealed to me, two old women who have assoc-- iated together the greater part of their business careers. They are of the opinion that the world would be better off without men. Margaret and Frances Sherman have just completed a book on th: types of men in which they have proved that the world would be a swell place to live if they would leave it to the women. QI was wondering where our Class Secretary of 1923 coulo be. Then my eyes were moved to a Music Cathedral in the city of New York. Here I discovered Grace Latimer and Mabel Chapman. They were both world famous pianists. My eyes moved from here to a cigar stand in this same city, where I saw standing a tall and lank man, selling cigars. The height of Russel Claxton's ambition was to have a stationary job, which he had eventually gained, In one of' the ioificesat the State Capitol at Sacramento, Cali- fornia, I see two ladies hammering away on a typewriter. From their rhythmic manipulation of the machine, it seems as though they had been in this business for a long while. It seemed that I had seen the two familiar faces in our class of 1928, I soon saw that they were my old class mates: Florence Latimer and Sylvia Shaddy, old shums who had succeeded in staying together this length of time. Again the vision was changed and I saw an old man with his facecovered with a full growth of whiskers, living in the jungles of Africa. After graduating from school, Wayne Wood gratified his desire to see some of the world. Therefore I was not surprised to see him in the jungles of Africa. And lo! There now returns the Great Spirit that revealed this great stage to me and with the same mystic hand, she now draws the curtain, making it imposible for me to see into the future, shut-- ting off from my eyes, back to the things that are, hoping that only goodness and ,truth and prosperity shall follow all the days that are to come to the talented members of the class of 1928. -Mildred Reese. MY EXPERIENCE WITH BEES Several days ago our English teacher requested us to write an informal essay. Since then my life has been like a long, horrible nightmare. Even my slumbers are disturbed by little demons that seem to dance and clap their hands in glee as they whisper, Essay, essay. My dreams that were once so sweet and peaceful are now so horrible, that at times I awaken from them to find myself shak- ing as with an ague. Dear reader, are you surprised to hear that this morning I found a gray hair among my once dark locks? Long and thoughtfully have I pondered this question, What shall I write about? Until my mind, which has never been overactive, is only one confused chaos of thoughts. But at last I have decided to tell you a story that has never yet reached the ears of the news-loving public. Listen, while I relate to you my experience with bees. Some time ago my father brought home a new hive of bees, and I having my full share of a woman's one failing, curiosity, de- cided to investigate. Walking boldly up to the front of the hive, I stooped and peered 'into the opening. Dear reader, allow me to draw a veil over what followed. Sufficient be it to say- that I saw stars --- Su erita fl that no astronomer has ever seen. Particularly, when a sharp, stab- bing pain on the end of my nose brought tears of anguish to my eyes, and a howl of agony to my lips. Dance of the Apaches, dance of cliff-dwellers, dance of sun-worshipers could be nothing compar- ed with the mad dance that was executed on the green lawn. . But I was to have a companion in my misery, for the cries of pain that I had tried in vain to staile had attracted the attention of a police man, who was on his regular beat past our home. Quicken- mg his pace the stern-faced representative of the law approached to question me as to my behavior. But the questions never came. For alas! he made the sad mistake of beating on the bee hive with his club, in order to emphasize his importance. First he slapped his hip. then knee, while a shrill yell broke from his lips as he too executed a dance that might be classed as variations of the Black Bottom or Charleston , Gone was his stately dignity and his pompous mien as he dropped his club and beat a hasty retreat around the corner. But my tale of woe is not yet ended, for I have not yet told you of my personal appearance. My hair was disheveledg my cloth- ing soi'ed and torn. My eyes were almost completely closed. My lips resembled those of an African negro. And horror of horrors, my nose, that had been my chief feature of beauty, was swollen to twice its normal size. Pedestrians stopped to gaze in open-mouthed surprise and astonishment at my distorted countenance. Little chil- dren stood in the gutter and gazed in wide-eyed wonder at my swol- len nose and lips. Even the faithful watch dog did not know me, and as I viewed myself in the mirror, I felt that even the apes would be ashamed to own me as a descendant of theirs. While speaking of my beliefs, I will tell you that I firmly be- lieve that the man who first began the raising of bees was in league with the Devil. Surely, surely this man must have been endowed with the powers of witchcraft to think of such a diabolical thing. In my imagination I can see him as he sits in his dirty, ill-smelling office, plotting and planning against the welfare of man kind. Behind him and looking over his shoulder, is a shadowy figure with an evil leer upon its face, while every little while this figure bends forward to whisper some suggestion in the man's ear. Then the scene changes and I see the great aruchefind as he hastens back to his castle to tell his co-workers, that his tool on earth has perfected another plan to destroy the happiness of man. In conclusion, gentle reader, I will say that I hope in the years to come, some of you will see fit to revolt against the raising of bees Surely some silvery tongued orator will see the importance of pro- testing against this scourge that has caused so much pain and un- happiness. I also wish to say that I extend my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, to anyone who may ever have the misfortune of letting his curiosity lead him into investigating a bee hive. --Florence Vehmann igi. naasaiefr- - n f--F Su eri'Lf1:41-T , i Basket Ball Team 1 I s 1 I i 1 I I i Tow row, left to right-Clyde Atkinson, Leonard Tester, Glen Newton.

Large men and small men are the same to little Joe. His fighting ability and excellent playing have saved our team from many defeats. Waldo Mott, forward, is also one of our main stays. His goal shooting and floor work have marred the reputation of many far famed guards. Waldo has been with the team two years. E Ansel Newton, guard, is a hero. There was nothing to fear when Ansel and Joe took their corners on the court. Ansel has been with the team two years and has done wonders. Some players have their off days, but not so with Ansel. He was there and stayed there Glen Newton, our midget forward, is a player of note. Glen was always seen in the hottest of the fray. His goal shooting, too, has won for him a reputation to be envied. Glen will be with us next year. Bob Tester, our center, is the real thing. Bob hasn't so much in height but with his ability to jumb, height isn't needed. He could always be found any place on the court at the time he was needed. He will be back with us next year. Clyde Atkinson, forward, is a worthy player. Although this is his first year out, he promises to 'be an excellent player in the future. Clyde has two more years with the team. Tom Carter, guard, playing his first year with the team, has proved himself to be a promising player for the future. He has one more year with the team. Hayes Carter, guard, is a promising man. Hayes' hobby is to dribble down and score when the opponent was least expecting it. Hayes has one more year with the team. ' --i Su erita '+ Superita Queen MISS LOTTIE CLARK 1YY1w:f'E1!

We were probably as green and timid as any class ever entering, but under that coat there was plenty of grit and determination. Our quantity made up for what we lacked in quality, for we boasted forty-six, the largest class ever entering Hartville High School. At our first class meeting, gold and white were selected as class colors, and white carnation, class flowers. Climb though the rocks be rugged was selected as class motto, these have been kept throughout the four years. As sophomores we devoted ourselves to the work ahead of us in earnest. Having lost some of our members: Golda Claxton, Leona McElhaney, Golda Garner, Vernice Long, Mattie Hart, Ethel Williams, Raymer Carter and Aloth Young, Dan Cupid claming many of them, our num'-er was diminshed to thirty-five. On survey- ing the class we found four new members: Berneice Wood, Wayne Wood, Gail Taber and Aubrey Lathrom. At our first class meeting we chose Miss Ppatt as class sponsor. The greatest social eventwas the the school picnic at the Manes Bridge. On September 5, 1926, we assembled as juniors, having an en- rollment of thirty. We again chose Miss Pyatt as class sponsor. Our first adventure in dramatics- All on Account of Polly, was a tremendous success, due to the untiring efforts of the coach, Miss Pyatt. We were weli represented on the athletic field, by furnishing three boys for basket ball. The crowning social event of the year was the Junior-:Senior Banquet, which was enjoyed by both juniors and seniors. We are now seniors. Though we are not so many in number when we were freshmen, the same spirit that was manifest then is still alive and alert, as we press onward toward the goal that fin- ishes our four years work. Two additions to our class, Mabel Van- zant and Sylvia Shaddy, make our enrollment thirty-three. This gives us the distinction of having the largest c'ass ever graduating from Hartville High School. We are still represented in athletics, by furnishing two players for basket ball, who each won big H sweaters. We again successfully entered the field of dramatics ' y presenting two plays, Just Jones and Be An Optimist . The success of each endeavors was due to the excellent coaching of Mrs. Gorman. To Mrs. Gorman, our efficient sponsor, we wish to express our appreciation. Now that we are nearing graduation and commencement, we realize that our efforts have not been in vain. As we enter life be- yond our school days we shall see the significance of our motto, Climb though the rocks be rugged. We feel and hope that this same motto which proved our guiding star during our dear old high school days, will lead on in our life's work to higher and better things. -Florence Latimer. -- S11 Cfitd lim..-.i SENIOR CLASS WILL4 Ladies and Gent'emen, Board of Education, Superintendent, Teachers and Friends: Iipon behalf of my client the class of nineteen twenty-eight, of Haftvllle High SCh00l, Of the City of Hartville, State of Missouri. I have called YOU together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dy- ing hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. She has tried to be just, as well as generous and impartial, and distri- bute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts as she has in her power to bestow, the. talents that have served her so faithfully these four years. These are her decisions, as at last de- linitely arrived at through very deliberate consideration. Owing to the flighty condition of her brain and the unusual disturbance, she begs me to state for her that she may quite possibly have been mis- taken in her inventory, Lut such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, then, one, and all, while I read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: We, the c'ass 1928, in thirty-three individual and distinct parts being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full posses- sion of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost super- human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises made by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap car lessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We give and bequeath to our dear faculty, who have been our instructors for the past four years, all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. If the faculty see fit, they are hereby authdrizad to give out such of this information to the world as they may feel the world is ready to receive. We trust they will also feel at perfect liberty to make use of such fzits of wisdom and enightemnent for the education of the classes to come after us. We also give and bequeath as sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertain- ity of whether this one is doing her night work or that one will have her mathematics in morning class. It has been a hard strain on them, for seniors are said to he at all times and under all con- ditions difiicult to manage. But the faculty have all done their duty and now shall they have their well earned reward. We give and bequeath to our beloved Superintendent, Profes- sor George M. Mullins, our sincere affections, our heartiest grati- tude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. In an attempt at partial payment for all that he has done for us dur- ing our last two years at Hartville High, we make over to him, here and now, a heavy mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown, beyond. It shall be his to watch every step of our upward and on- ward fiitting-to'note each trial, each attempt, each victory, each success and honor that we may achieve in the arena of the world- -- Su eriia ----T- and to accept for himself, as interest on our deathless debt, every ounce of the honor, knowing that it is all due to his faithful instruc tions. We give and bequeath to the Hartville High School, as a whole, the dear old song that we have composed and have made use of to entqtain our friends. We also leave our class yell which we have composed. This yell is to become the possession of the school on condition thatit shall ever be kept in use that it may not become dull and spiritless through lack of proper practice and suf- ficient rehearsal. We further stipulate that all students shall become so thoroughly inoculated with the true spirit of its word and rhythm and its patriotic inspiration, that they shall straigthway resolve themselves into committees of one to spread broadcast the call of the place where they learn to grow and to do things. The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may received them, and a, continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowel: To our class room teachers, the profound admiration and ever enduring friendship of the class of '28. To Mr. Mullins, we leave the balance in our class treasury, to be used in buying a pair of rubber shoes for detective work. We feel he will be sure to need these in dealing with the classes that are to be our successors. To the basket ball team of next year, we will the ability of Ansel Newton. We couldn't induce Russell Claxton to surrender his To Helen Hudson, we will Iris Rippee's talkativeness. To Jeanette Hickman, we will the musical gifts of Mabel Chapman. To all future class presidents, we will Earl Graes' a tility to convince Professor Mullins of the said president's unerring judg- ment. To Nola Prock, we will Irene Rippee's gift of gab. To some benighted freshman,-anybody who will accept it, as it is yet unclaimed,-we will Grace Latimer's troubles as class sec- retary. ' - To Mabel Critcher, we will the height of Russell Claxton. To Ruby Mitchell, we will Oleva Hickman's giggles. To Delphia Helsley, we will Ruth Mott's dignity. To Truman Jones, we will Vernon Pearman's laziness. To Dorothy Wood and Goldie O'Dell, we will Lora Dickinson':: and Frances Sherman's blushes, with the hopes that they will not be wasted in the dark. Clcdith Pryor wills her ability as an old maid school teacher, to Erma Webb. To Florence Vehmann, we will Orville Jones' quiet nature. To Goldie Truster, we will Fay Pryor's privilege of whispering and chewing gum in the study hall. To Aletha Archer, we will Lucille Chapman's attractions for Joe Nickle. To Ruth Jones, we will Jewell Carter's advoirdupois, height, and size in general. To Dorothy Box, we will Clifford Coday's ability to dance. To Lottie Clark, we will Pauline Gorman's ancestors. She feels f Su eritd she will not need anymore. She can face the world behind her own coat of paint. T0 Glen Newton, we will Chester Hensley's curly locks. To Bernice Hunter, we will Goldie Pearman's snappy brown eyes. To Woodford Colton, we will Mildred Reese's pleasant disposi- tion. ' To Deaneth Williams, Paul Wakefield wills his privilege of rid- ing in a Chevrolet Coupe. To Owen Allen, we will Flora Carter's executive ability, but not her beauty. Ma :el Vanzant wills Aaron O'Dell to whoever will take the best care of him. To Loyd Johnson, we will Dan Simmons' importance. Sylvia Shaddy wills her interest in two junior boys, Morris Palmer and Roland Claxton, to Lola Mae Burney and Emma Hake. To Nolan Pryor, we will the spelling ability of Jewell Wynn. To Jeff Moody, we will Wayne Wood's scholarly attitude. To Esther Angel, we will Mabel Cottengim's popularity among the boys. To Mildred Murrell, we will the poetical gifts of Margaret Sherman , To anybody who needs it, we will Waldo Mott's bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush. We likewise give and bequeath to the junior class, our senior dignity. May they uphold it forever with all seriousness and gravity. endeavoring to realize its great importance, in spite of their natural lightmindedness and irresponsibility. We also give them our seats in the class rooms. May they endeavor to fill them as advantageous- ly, as promptly and as faithfully as we have done. Our seats in the study hall may be taken by whosoever is a':le to grab them first. We also leave any stubs of pencils, erasers, or scraps of paper that we may haze left behind us in excitement and haste of gathering up our treasurers for the last time. May they feel free to make use of them, and feel, perhaps, that they may, in some way, impart some of our great knowledge to them. We likewise give and bequeath to this same junior class, as a student body, Florence Latimer's knowledge of Eng ish, sociology, American problems, and the universe in whole or in part. We trust the class may be able to survive it. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our suc- cessors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our principal and teachers. They will love our succeccors, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved usp they will show them all the same tender kindness and attention that have bestowed upon usp they will feel the same interests in their attempts and succes- sorsg the same sorrow when they fail. We turst that the class of '29 will appreciate all this as deeply as we have done, that it may be their most precious possession, as it has been ours, and the one that we hand over to them most unwillingly. Besides these enforced gifts, we leave to our dear Alma Mater not of necessity, but of our own free will-our blessing, tender memories of our pleasant association together, and our foqgiveness for anything that we may not have exactly appreciated in the dem- - 1 '- S11 GFIICI -+--- onstrations of the past, and a pledge of friendship from henceforth and forever. All the rest that is felt of our property, whatsoever and what- soever, of what nature, kind and quality soever it may be, and not herein before disposed of after paying our debts and other expenses we give and bequeath to our beloved Principal and class sponsor, Mrs. H. F. Gorman, who has worked so faithfully and lovingly with us during this, our last year of High School life, our ever lasting love and sincere affections. We feel that we owe to her a debt of appreciation and gratitude for her faithful services in making our last year so happy, profitable, and pleasant. We feel that in willing our remaining property to her she will use it for the benefit and advantage of the coming classes as she may see fit. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said Principal sole executor of this our last will and testament. In testamony whereof, I have signed my name this twenty- third day of March, in the year of our Lord, 1928. -Mabel Cottengim. The foregoing instrument was at the date thereof signed and declared by the said class to be her last will and testament in the presence of us, who, at her request and in her presence, and in the presence of each other have signed our names as witnesses. -Wayne Wood -Sylvia Shaddy. --Waldo Mott. LEGALIZED MURDER In this fast going age, with civilization at its highest ebb, we have social problems great and small to solve. Our law-making body which excels that of any land is lusy night and day trying to make this a better country in which to live. It is trying to make and en- force laws that will elevate the standards of our citizenship and of society general. Many problems have faced our country in bygone years, some which seemed unsolvable, but the most perplexing pro- blem which faces our country today is that of capital punishment. Looking over the history of bygone days we find that many crude forms of punishment have been exercised. In the days of kings we see men beheaded before large multitudes of people. We see them cast into large arenas with fierce beasts to be torn to pieces Even in our own countrynwe see them tied to whipping posts and beaten without mercy. We recall with vivid recollection the stocks, the ducking stools, and the thumb screws. We have also had the dueling grounds where man to man vengence was satisfied. But these are no more. They are gone and more civilized methods have taken their place. We must not think, however, that our task is done. Although we see no more the helpless beheaded, although we see no more of the dueling grounds or hear the groans of those l:-urning at the stake there yet remains one relic of barbarism. This is capital punishment. Now that our country has reached such a high standard of civiliza- tion and that it stands out today the model nation of the world, we have reached the point where capital punishment is no longer fitting and should be forever erased from the statutes of the United States of America. In the first place, capital punishment does not eliminate crime. ,It just adds crime to crime and this horrible menace goes on un- checked. Statistics show that the percentage of crime in states hav- ing capital punishment is very little, if any, higher than those hav- 'ng lt. Why? Because in these states having capital punishment thi- laws are so slack, the avenues of escape are so numerous, and the death penalty so uncertain that the criminal little fears the death Penalty. To illustrate, oftentimes the law will convict one man and send him to death on the scaffold, and at the same time free another of equal guilt under the plea of insanity. By such a method the gov- ernment has not only committed an atrocious crime, but also has en-- couraged crime. Certainty and not severity of punishment is what holds crime in check. Therefore, if we would perfect our prisons and make life imprisonment a certainty with no avenues of escape, such as those of the moron plea and lenient pardons, we would no longer be forced to the use of capital punishment. Switzerland has very effectually proved this fact. Statistics show that she has less crime than any nation in the world. Thus, from these examples, we can clearly see that capital punishment does not lessen crime. Furthermore, capital punishment has a brutalizing effect upon society. Newspapers with flaring headlines tell of some horrible ex- ecution. They go so far as to picture the death chair or the scaffold. They, in minute detail, tell of the proceedings of the execution. They tell of last minute pleas for mercy, or give the last pitiful words of the doomed man or woman. This, my friends, has a bad influence upon young minds. Tliey at once have a felling of pity and mercy for the condemned. They form in their minds a fee ing of enmity and revenge toward our government which leads them on to similar or worse crimes. The Snyder-Gray execution proclaimed to the world the horrors of capital punishment. Let me picture to you the scene of this execution and you will readily see that it was equally as brutal as the crime for which they were executed. In the death house in Sing Sing prison, waited a man and a woman for the hour that would dash them into eternity. In this same prison, in sight of their cell door, stood the si'ent, sullen, electric chair. Time and again dur- ing the day, as keepers of the prison tested the chair, the prisoners who were to be electrocuted that night could hear the signal bell ring as a heavy voltage of electricity dashed into the chair. As the clock was stricking eleven that night, a group of men entered the cell of a helpless woman. They led her to the e'ectric chair and strap ped her into it tight and fast. A mask was placed on a clipped head and the guards stepped aside. The signal bell pealed out and the body lurched forward with a force that it seemed would break 'those hideous leather bands. The chair gave off a dreadful buzzing sound and spirals of smoke cur'ed upward from the head of the woman. The current was released and the body fell limp in the chair. A wo- man had lzeen killed, the law fulfilled, and society revenged. But how? By one of the most horrible means known to man, that of lea'- ized murder. Such a scene will horrify the firmest of minds and 'will leave a lasting horrible example for our children and our children's children to follow. Not only has capital punishment a brutalizing effect upon soci- ety, but it also defeats the purpose of punishment. Blackstone says that the purpose of punishment should be to repair the injured, re- form the criminal, and at the same time punish him for his crime. If the criminal is killed he can never repair the injured. If this criminal wguld be placed at work, the fruits of his toil could be used for the support of the dependent ones left helpless by his act. If we intend to reform the crim inal we are taking the wrong course by killing -41' Su crifa -4-H him. A dead man can never be reformed, while if he were placed in Pl'iS0f1 he might Square himself with God and man. Killing a man does not punish him. Instead, it punishes his loved ones by leaving a mark of shame upon them which can never be lived down. There- fore, you can readily see that capital punishment defeats the PW pose for which punishment was intended and should forever be ab- olished. Finally, the most vital reason of all why capital punishment should be eliminiated is the fact that it is contrary to the teachings of the Bible. We all recognize the constitution as the supreme law cf the United States of America. Even more so should we recognize the Bible as the supreme law of the universe. Blackstone, the great English law-giver, when asked to define the law made this reply, There is l:-ut one law and that is the law of God . If that is true all laws conflicting with this one supreme law are void and their makers and enforcers are sinners in the sight of God. The sixth of the ten commandments says, Thou shalt not kill . It does not say that law-makers and officials are immune from this commandment. A murder in the sight of God is the taking of a human life, and hc- that commits murder is laying himself liable to the wrath of God. When the judge that sentenced Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray to the electric chair, received the verdict pronouncing them guilty his brow darkened as he said, 'In obedience to my country and in the fulfill- ment of my duty, I am compelled to send these people to death. However, I believe that life is the supreme gift of God and we do not have the right to take it away. Thus, we can readily see that we are trampling underfoot the laws of God which each nation should hold sacred and inviolate. History shows that no nation that disrespects the law of God can hope to live long and prosper. , Now, my friends, you can clearly see that the time for action has come. We must either abolish capital punishment or proclaim to the world that our principles, which we have so long cherished and defended, are unworthy of mention. But surely a nation whose air- planes sail in the boundless space of air, whose ships sail the seven seas, and whose representatives sit at the table to help decide the fate of the world, will rise and proclaim to this and all coming gen- erations that capital punishment is absurd, heathenish, and barbarous and shall be forever abolished from our nation. -Robert L. Tester. ...Qi Su el-Hd Il - SCHOOL CALENDAR August Monday, August 29th.. On this day we all met, .- For we hadn't graduated yet.
