We are the first senior class to graduate from the Hayti High School. Four years ago the school was un- classified and we have seen the school advance one step each year uhtil now we have the honor of graduating from a first class school. A school which, though comparatively young, ranks among the best in th'e State. We, as the first graduating class, have determined to set an example to be followed and to inspire all classes to follow. Upon our judgment; fell the selection of a suitable class pin, a pin which will not needtto be changed; one, of which, we may well be proud and in which no succeeding class can find fault.

These days of High School life are our best days and we intend that our commencement shall be a suitable climax to our - ■ •■'(schooUife. For our baccalaureate sermon we have secured Rever- end William J. Williamson, a gifted and able man. Manly J. Mum- ford will deliver our commencement address and one more suitable for the occasion could hardly be found. Last and one of the most important things of which this class is the first to do, not only in this school but in this part of the state, is the achievement of an annual which will represent the best efforts of our class and school. An annual, which we hope, to make worthy of our school and town, to justify the confidence placed in us and to gain and hold the support of all patriotic citizens and boosters. 1 Class Prophesy Many, many years had passed since I had left the old home town, and I was no longer young. Now I was going back, if only for a few hours, on business. And my thoughts were going back to those friends of long ago, wondering if this one had changed; where that one was; or if others were still as happy as they had been. Suddenly the train stopped. My reverie was broken. Look- ing out of the window I saw a gang of surveyors standing and sitting near by. Several started off and one of them turned and shouted: “Hey! You, Ikey! Come along with that chain!” A man of medium height, heavily built, and with bushy, curly V. hair and beard, slowly arose, picked up the chain and followed the others. Not until the train started did I realize that this chain carrier bore a resemblance to Isaiah Paris. But, then, perhaps the name, “Ikey,” had suggested the resetnblance to me, for Isaiah had once said that he intended to be a civil engineer. As the train entered the suburbs of town I saw a newly built house, very rudely constructed, and which looked out of place in its surroun d- ings. A fel- fellow passenger, noticing my interest, said: “That is the new hospital, and there in the corner of the yard is Nurse Sprayberry, its founder.” I got only a glimpse of a tall, rather fleshy woman, dressed in a nurse’s uni- form. I wondered, if, by any chance, it could be Lillie, for her ambition had always been to be a trained nurse. While being driven through the city by roy patron I saw a very tall, thin man stand- ing on one of the busiest corners. This man was so tall and so thin as to attract at- tention. There hung suspended from his neck a large tray containing pencils, shoe strings, collar buttons, etc. As we passed he turned his head and I saw a striking re- semblance to Blair Buckley, but thought no more about it, for we had always prophesied, • at school, that he would be a merchant. ¥■ While walking to the depot that night I passed a house built so close to the walk that you could touch it. One of the shades was up, and inside sat a woman, wear- ing glasses, and thin almost to skinni- niness. On a cushion near her feet was a cat, and a table near by was stacked with suffrage literature. She seemed very much interested in a writ- ten paper which, on going nearer, I saw Was a Latin examination paper. This woman looked so much like Bonnie Hart that I knew I could not be mistaken in thinking it was she; and, too, she had always said that she would be a teacher. On the train that night I again fell to thinking of my school days. I thought of the first graduating class of our Hayti High School. That brought to my mind Harry Gettings, whom I had not seen, and, in the rush of business affairs, had not inquired about. But I dismissed him frc m ir y mind with the thought that now he was a prosperous farmer, for in the high school days he had said he intended to stick to the soil. The next day I was delayed in a small town, while chang- ing trains. A great crowd was gathered on the main street. Going nearer I heard strains of music(?) and saw a bright yellow covered wagon, with the words, “Sure Cure for Corns,” painted in red. Just beneath this, in black, was printed: “Latest Invention of Professor H. Gettings.” In the back of the wagon was seated a black haired man playing a violin. A man near me said: “Some fiddler, eh?” I nodded and passed rapidly on. CfTTTmc Class History Daring the last half of the nineteenth century five interesting children were born. At first, only the parents and immediate relatives of each thought so, but all now acknowledge that these parents were correct. These five children passed through the usual joys and horrors of child life; they now no longer fear the slipper or the hairbrush, having laid these by with other childish troubles. Pate, that mysterious controller of human affairs, finally brought these five young hopefuls to the doors of the Hayti High School in 1912. Since then they have stayed together in all sorts of storms, always maintaining their right to the title ideal. In dear old Kentucky, on a beautiful day in September, a win- some young lady was born. Bonnie is the only child in the home, so the gods have given to her those charms that make one truly gracious. Prom the wilds of Braggadocio, there came an apollo in the person of one Isaiah Faris, commonly known as “Ikey.” Isaiah may not be a songster, but he will astonish the world some day, as a second Euclid. On a warm day in August, on a farm near Hayti, a little boy first saw the light of the great round world, which greatly aston- ished him. Since then, he has astonished the inhabitants of that great round world with his orginality. Where ever Harry is, there yon will find smiles and sunshinf. In Henderson, Tennessee, on an October day there was born a mixture of sedateness and frivolity in the person of Blair Buckley. Blair is a most wonderful poet (?) and in energy and vim he is a specialist. The youngest member of the class,’a bright and brilliant lassie, hails from Braggadocio. She is Lillie Sprayberry. Lillie leans toward Biology, but is by no means a dummy in other subjects. When these five, the first graduating class, leave the school it will be just an ordinary day—for others. They will go out quietly and their place will be filled by others. But to five Seniors there u'ill come a touch of sa.Jdness as they bid farewell to Hayti High School, the scene of so many joys and sorrows(?). Seniors Will and Testament Know All Men by These Presents: We the Senior class of the Hayti High School, being of sane mind and memory, and of body not quite so sound because of the many nerveracking hardships we have endured, being mindful of the fact that we are soon to leave these surroundings for a life of trials and tribulations, to take up those arduous duties of which we have heard so much, do hereby make this our last will and testament: We bequeath to the future Seniors of Hayti High our school building. We bequeath our library, which we helped to compile to be used freely by all members of the High School. We bequeath to our studious Sophomore friends our best wishes and anything else which we may have left that will be of value to them. We bequeath all the preserved snakes, toads, mud-puppies, cray- fish, bugs, etc., which we have collected, to the future Biology classes. We will to our immediate followers, the Juniors, all our teachers frowns, which we hope they will enjoy as much as we did. We also will to them our class spirit, energy, and ability to lead in all things. To the future students of the High School we bequeath Miss Hills’ class room to be used for socials. To the Freshmen we bequeath our good examples and the cor- recting of next year’s Freshmen. To the Seniors of next year we do bequeath the school champion- ships in pitching dollars and in tennis, the same being held by two of the present Senior boys. We bequeath Prof. Johnson to all the students of next year, to be debt with leniency. We will to Miss Hill all our Lxtin note books to use as examples for future students and hereby do express our appreciation for the Latin she has taught us. We bequeath to Miss Welborn the remembrance of all our escapades and a rest from watching over us. We will to Mr. Johnson all the joys of teaching Biology and Agriculture and hope the weeds do not take the school garden. We bequeath to the Sophomores the care of our pennant, feeling sure that they will care for it faithfully. Blair wills to Joseph Kohn and Carl Sigler the continuance of his daily controversy with any conceited Freshman; and to the sixth grade the eraser which he hooked while standing on the floor in their room. He also hopes that Carl’s pigeon will soon be large enough to kill. Bonnie Hart bequeaths all her giggles to Earl and hopes he makes as good use of them as he does of his own. She also wills to Hattie Mae all the gum on her desk, to use in playing basket- ball next year. She says there are two or three sacks of Wrigley’s and several other kinds mixed in with it. Harry Gettings bequeaths to Joe bis part on the High School pencil sharpener which was never paid for, and to Walter Dorris the remainder of his yearly bottle of ink for the purpose of draw- ing cartoons. He also wills his ready wit and smile to the one who needs them most and hopes he will make good use of them. Harry is part Irish and his pedigree can be traced further back than that of the king of England. Lillie Sprayberry wills to the present Freshmen class the teach- ers good will and hopes that the girls will learn to curl their hair. Lillie also wills to Stella the privilege of taking her part in all school plays and her powder and paint for the purpose of making up and the book of instructions which she says she has already learned in all its details. Isaiah Faris bequeaths his captainships of the basket ball team to the most worthy and hopes to see that the Hayti five win the Cape Girardeau basket ball tournament next year. He also be- queaths to Earl his historical note book and his five bottles of various colored inks for completing the same. To the “Right End” of the foot ball team he bequeaths the enjoyment of all the sprained ankles that go with the position. We do hereby appoint Miss Letitia McFarland, in whom we de repose all confidence and faith, as sole executor of this, our will and testament. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hand this 19th day of May, 1919. Senior Class. Signed, published and declared by the above named Senior class to be their last and only will and testament, in our presence, who at their request and in their presence and in the presence of one another, have hereunto subscribed our names as a record of our approval of the above and in witness thereunto.

I All are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time; Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. II Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. III For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled; Our to days and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build. IV Truly shape and fashion these: Leave no yawning gaps between;- Think not because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen. V In the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part; For the Gods see everywhere. VI Let us do our work as well. Both the unseen and the seen; Make the house where Gods may dwell. Beautiful, entire and clean. VII Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time,. Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble as they seek to climb. Build to-day, then, strong and sure. With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall to morrow find its place. IX Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain, And one boundless reach the sky. —Kohn. High School Studies Should Be Elective The High School student of today is by no moans like the one of days ago. He is more progressive, broader-minded, intellectual and quicker at grasping what is before him. Why? Because school to him is a profession. He has put in it soul and body to make a success. And when he reaches High School, why shouldn’t he be allowed to enter with his ambitious career and work earnestly to- ward obtaining it? He should be allowed to elect his own studies, those which he thinks he is more adapted to. No one knows better than he what he wants to do or is capable of doing. No one knows his ambition in life. Life is what you make it. and he will be what he makes of himself. That is why I say that the High School student should have the privilege of electing his own course of study, preparatory to paving his way to success. We will, for instance, take a boy entering High School whose ambition was to be a progressive farmer. Naturally, this ambitious youth will want a good course in Agriculture, more so than in any other study. But, to his misfortune, his subjects were all laid down to him and he had to take what the state course of study prescribed. This was composed of Latin, English, History and Mathematics. Instead of tiking Latin, he could have studied Agriculture, which would have benefited him greatly. The other studies, of course, will help him some with his Agriculture, but he could have gotten along without Latin. In these subjects the boy was disinterested throughout his school term. Seeing the situation and the slow progress of their boy, his parents took him out of school, because they knew he did not make much showing in the way of learning and he could do more good on the farm. Of course the boy remained at 1 he old fann, following in the footsteps of his father, who was unprogressive. Now he is poor, both in wealth and education, having been prevented from making a success. But what was the chief cause of his failure? It was his High School days, when he could not elect his studies to fulfill his want. This goes to show that all High School studies should be elective, that is, to give a boy and girl a chance to study what they wish, or what their ambition calls for. Thit is why I say the boy of modern times is not like the one of days ago. The latter did not have as great opportunity of elective studies in High School, and that is why the world is so pro- gressive in wonderful achievements. JOSEPH KOHN. Studying Together “Say, old sport, I came in to study geometry with you. Caesar’s ghost! If I didn’t bring my Latin instead. Well, we’ll just take a peep at the old top’s team work. Say, Shorty, where does the lesson start?” “Chapter 20; Book III.” “Some long lesson; gee, I hate to start on it. ‘Eodem fere tempore P. Crassus, cum in aquitanian pervenisset.’ What in the mischief does that mean? “Shorty, I am betting on Red in that race. He has Long beat a country block. Well, I know what I am talkin’ ’bout. He can wind Long in the first mile.” Well, this isn’t readin’ Latin. ‘Ut ante dictum est, et regionum —.’ Shorty, have you seen that peach of a girl over at the new dormitory? Believe me, there sure is some class to her, Butj you will have to beat my time if you even get a peep at her. ‘Latitudine et multitudine hominum extertia parte—.’ Did you see that.Red- wood game? Some battle. My first game. But I think I put up a pretty hard fight. That guy I played is the fastest man I ever saw on a court. “ ‘Gallia est aestimanda, cum intellegerent—.’ For the love of Mike, what’s that fumbling around in the hall? I’d hate to be as scary as some fellows. ‘In eis eocis sibe vellum gerendum________.' Be glad when tennis opens up. The mater has promised me a gimdandy racquet. ‘Ubi paucis ante annes—.’ Have you been keeping up with that auto race? Won’t anything beat a Ford, though. You can bet your sweet life I am going to have some fun in my tin Lizzie next vacation. Say, wher.e’s the place? “ ‘Legatus exercitu pulso interfectus esset—.’ Shorty, we must get in some good practice; we have just got to beat those Sophs. They have the bighead, anyway. Are you in that negro minstrel?) 1 don’t see why she didn’t give me that part she gave Sam. I know I can beat him dancing. “My great ancestors? Ten o’clock! I must skidoo.” A. E. T.

A Burlesque On the “Sophs.” On the seventh day of September, nineteen hundred and fourteen, a band of girls and boys entered High School as Fresh- men, and they were fresh. None of them had seemed to know how to act in Grammar school, and now they were High School students. I will now describe these fresh creatures as they entered the room. The first was a girl with yellow hair, blue eyes and freckled face. She wore a large sun bonnet that looked as though it might have been worn by her grandmother in her school days. She wore a pair of run-over slippers; I did not ask the size, but guessed them to be eights Feeling a warm breeze, I looked up and saw a boy about live feet tall, with red hair and dark eyes. As he stepped into the room he, asked: “’Fesso1 , where’s the basket-ball?” Hearing someone passing by, not with fairy feet, I looked up and my eyes were centered on a boy about six feet tall, with white hair and pink eyes. He wanted to know if there was going to be a football team. Seeing the grinning countenance of a boy bigger around than he was tali 1 knew that he was another “Freshie.” His clothes were tight, and his cheeks bloomed like roses. I thought I heard a lion roar and started to leave, but ran into a freckled faced girl. Her hair was curly and her eyes were black. Someone askeu her if she believed, and she said: “Of course, I believe in women’s rights.” The wind was blowing briskly through the windows and with it came a delicate little bean pole of a boy with brown eyes and hair. I asked him who he was and heanswered: “I’m a cat, I am.’ Someone near by was snoring loudly and I fo und it to be a two hundred and sixty pound baby hippopotamus. The teacher woke him up for his class and asked him to discuss the first topic of the History lesson. He replied: “I didn’t get that fer.” A tall? quiet girl attracted my attention. She had pretty eyes and an attractive smile. She was the only Freshie who tended to her own business. Now they are Sophomores and part of their greenness has worn off, and they do not realize that they, were just as green as this year’s “Freshies.” School will soon be out and the care free jolly members of this class will come back as Juniors next year. So, farewell to the Seniors who leave Hayti High, and may they have a happy and successful career in their life work. It’s Mostly Up to You When the school’s a going crooked, Or it looks that way to you; Somehow seems to be a tangle To almost everything you do; When you start out in the morning With your lessons unprepared, The birds along your pathway Have a harshness in their song; And the grass, though soft as velvet, You will finally stumble through. Then, if you want things better, Friend, it’s mostly up to you. T’aint hard smilng in the sunshine, But it’s during stormy spells, When your grades are gradually falling. That the stuff within you tells. No—you won’t have easy lessons always. In the schools you travel through, Still, if you would have things better, Friend, its mostly up to you. G. S. Sophomore Songs Any little girl that’s a nice little girl is the right little girl for me. Get out and get under. Oh, you beautiful doll! Drink to me only with thine eyes. Boys! Boys! Boys! Gee, I wish I had a beau. Every little bit added to what you got makes a little bit more. Hattie Mae Argo: Come over and love me some more. Hugh Harbert: Walter Dorris: George Sigler: Nat Buckley: Pearl Chism: Bessie Raybuck: Ellis Kohn: Wouldn’t it Seem Queer To see Hugh as fat as he is long. To see Ellis without his grin. To see Bessie flirting. To see Pearl playing basket-ball. To see George acting dignified. To see Nat without a girl. To see Walter working. To see Hattie Mae silent.

Bobby, age five, was playing war with his pillows. His mother kept calling him to breakfast. At last, growing impatient, she took a stick and started upstairs.

He crawled under the bed as he said: “Here comes America, and she always beats.” Hugh (running into the class room): “Miss Hill can you crack nuts?” Miss Hill: “Goodness, no, Hugh; my teeth are false.” Hugh (extending two handfuls of pecans): “Please hold these pecans while I go get some more.” “Did you say that the young man in the parlor tried to kiss you, dear?” asked the young stepmother. “Yes, he did,” replied the daughter. “And did you tell him you would call me?” “No; do you think you’re the only one to be kissed?” A school boy’s composition on Patrick Henry contained the following gem: “Patrick was not a very bright boy. He had blue eyes and light hair. He got married and then said: ‘Give me liberty or give me death.’ ” And that’s all there are to it.

A Freshman’s Diary I am so glad that I am in High School—the Grammar grade kids act so babyish. We just have four studies, and I will have lots of time to play. Organized our class today, selected class colors and motto. The Sophs say our colors are appropriate, but we don’t take their advice, because they think they are almost as smart as the Seniors. Pennants came today. Sophs and Seniors were a little peeved because we got ahead of them. Freshmen had to stand on the floor today becau3e they threw a few snowballs at the Sophs. Latin gets worse every day. It is Helvetion this and Helvetion that. Entertained Juniors with chicken roast. The boys had plenty of gravy--gave the bones to the Seniors. The teachers are at every turn in the stairs when the Fresh- men start to class. Quite a confusion arose today between a Freshman and Soph, but of course the Freshman won. One Senior girl had the pleasure of moving her seaton account of talking. Lillian had a sore throat—had to go home and doctor it. A Freshman is substituting as teacher; wonder why it is not a Senior? One of the Seniors had an attack of some unknown disease this morning. The teacher strongly suspected it was a fit. Wonder why the Seniors don’t pin up their curls? Most of the day was spent by Stella chewing her gum. It looked like it might belong to a Senior, from the size. The Freshies are making first rate time in Algebra, Floyd playing with the thermometer all the class period; Carl and Houston eating peanuts. Juniors and Freshies entertained Seniors. Examinations. I am so glad that I am a Soph now. Won’t we show the Freshies a nice time next year, though! Now for a good vacation. The Freshie (With apologies to Joaquin Miller.) Behind him lay the Simple Eighth Behind him lay the Grammar school; Before him not the ghost of grades, Before him only endless exams. The good Freshie now said, “We must pray, For lo, our hopes are gone. Good Teacher, speak, what shall I do?” “What do? Study on, study on, and on, and on, and on.” The Freshie grows wretched day by day, And vacations soon he’ll need to seek; • As he is thinking of what he shall say, Here comes an exam that pales his rosy cheek. “Good Teacher, speak, what shall .1 do?” “What do? Study on, study on, and on, and on, and on.” . : ‘n They study and study as best they may, Until very near they lose their sight; At last, the blanched B’reshie says, “Not even now shines the light on those fallen and dead; Those alive forget their way, For hope from those dreadful exams is gone. Now speak, good Teacher, speak.” She said: “What do? Study on, study on, and on, and and on.” Then pale and worn, he studied no less, And thru the darkness, he saw success. It grew like a seed bursting from the ground, Untij, his Seniorship came ’round. He gained success and gave to the world Its grandest lesson, “Work on, work on, and on, and and on.” Freshman Fun Miss Welborn: “What is a cognomen?” Lillian: “A man that fixes shoes.” One day there was a great commotion in the freshman corner. Miss Welborn, on inquiring, found out that Carl was sticking John with a pin. Miss Welborn: “John, bring that pin here.” John brought the pin. Well, after awhile, Miss Welborn called the reading class. Then: “Carl, stand up and read the next verse:” “Carl: “I can’t.” Miss Welborn: “Why?” - Carl: “ ’Cause, that pin held m.v breeches up.” • Miss Welborn: “What is a statesman?” Iva: “A man who slates.” “I dreamed last night my watch was gone, and I got up to see.” “Was it?” “No; just going.” Mabel: “That story you told is about fifty years old.” Maude: “And you haven’t forgotten in all that time?” In a parlor there were three, He, a parlor lamp and she; Two is company and three’s a crowd. And so the parlor lamp went out. “Did you hear about the big explosion?” “No! What was it?” “The wind blew up the river.” SELF BRANDED. f He: “Your hair is dyed.” She: “’Tis false” He: “I knew Jthat, too.” To the Preshmtn life is green; To the Sophomore life’s serene; To the Junior life is striving; To the Senior life is arriving.

Roy 1 larper was the only player who had ever played the game and was the quarterback. Walter Dorris scored the teams lone touchdown and drop-kicked for extra point. I he team played only one home game and the field was located across the street from the Northside Park next to the railroad. The team had to take rakes and scoops and clean off the area and marked the field with lime. There were no yard markings in those days, only the boundaries of the field. A rope was strung around the field to keep the spectators away from the playing area. There was only one official and he was usually another coach from a neutral town near and for this one game, James Arnold of Kennett was t ' -f) JJ e-.iVu.-j i -'v t v n n v, C .

Among the squad who turned out for foot ball practice there was only one experienced player—Roy Harp- er, who played quarter back. For coach we had Mr. Baily Brooks. He worked hard and faithfully but was greatly handicapped by the scarcity and lightness of his material. •Our first game of the season was played at Kennett where we re- cieved our initiation into the science of the game. Although we were entirely inexperienced we were beaten only 20 to nothing. Our second game was played at home against Blytheville and they showed us what familiarity with the game meant to a team. It was the first game the people of Hayti ever had a chance to wit- ness and a good crowd turned out. Why give the score? A We next played Caruthersville and lost at home by a score of 20 to 7. Later we played them at Caruthersville and although three of our good men were out of the first game we lost again. Our last and closest game was the one with Osceola, score nothing, nothing. It was probably the hardest one we played, Osceola having a heavier team and one that worked line bucks almost continuously. Time and again they were close under their goal but failed each time to push the ball over. Mr. Brooks tried a place kick from the fifty yard line and missed it only a couple of feet. We were royally entertained after the game and enjoyed our- selves thoroughly. Some pretty girls there! Osceola, we will be glad to come back. H. P. H. What About Hayti Girls’ Basket-ball Team? Hayti’s sweetest, prettiest girls, Unmindful of their pretty curls; The large ones, small ones, lean ones, tall, Play the fascinating game of basket-ball. They play at morn, they play at night, With the vim the Germans fight; While sweethearts shout and rip and roar, They shout a while—then shout some more. They accept all challenges, far and wide, Prom river’s brink to mountain-side; All have bowed to their great skill, Or, in the future, surely will. Some girls the cake doth cop, . But these take the whole bakeshop; While the boys, no less than they, Add their part to carry the day. Hayti beat Caruthersville, and Senath put to flight, And Kennett, with her haughty mien, they put clear out of sight; And when at “The Famous” they put Lilbourn out, You could hear the girls of Hayti give one tremendous shout. Prom Cape Girardeau’s rugged hills and Charleston glittering sand, To Kennett’s wide, extended plain—throughout all the land; The fame of Hayti is heralded frouj pulpit and from bench, The laurels won are proudly ours and will be ever hence. Hurrah for the game that thrills the heart— Speaking now of everybody’s part; Hurrah for basket-ball, the mother of grace; Hurrah for the game that puts bloom in the face. Hurrah for the girls of the Hayti team; Hurrah for the teachers, who always seem Happiest when the rooters shout and laugh, And Eddie Virg bawls like a dying calf. It is useless to name all the girls in the “Six,” For each plays her part and never gets mixed; Take it from me—it’s a solemn fact, We are proud of all, from first to last. The Basket Ball Girls About our school are many things, and none of them are small, But the thing that interests us most is the game of basket-ball. We have a team, to tell the truth, that’s very seldom beaten, And yet all challenges with promptness we are meetin’. The Hayti girls, unmindful of their pretty tresses, Or the rent it makes in dresses, Play the game like Achilles fought at Troy, And with more vim than any boy. Bonnie Hart, the captain, I am told, Plays “forward” onward to the goal; With rush and dash and graceful sway, She there commands and wins the day. Hattie Mae, the litle queen, In the greatest strife is always seen; With agile move and quick of tread, Is in the game when the last word’s said. Carrie Sigler is the “Center” star, Whose fame spreads near and far; As strong and active—of good lung— Of whom the minstrel’s song is sung. And there’s Bertha Thomas, all togged up, Fit contender for a “loving cup;” At “Center Back” with form divine, The idol of all masculine. And Allie Thomas, tall and slender, Admired by all of masculine gender; Swift and agile in the race, Puts Diana in second place. Etljel Hamilton, much admired, Plays for hours and is never tired; If some heart sick swain doesn’t court her hard,. Will always play as basket-ball “guard.” Of each girl we thus have spoken, Which, indeed, can be no token That any one with gifts is blessed More than either of the rest. Now, aH together, I line them up, And to the bunch we drain the cup; Here’s to Bonnie, Hattie and Carrie, true, And to Bertha, Allie and Ethel, too. Each would charm the sculptor’s heart, Qr gladden the painter in his art; And before death their tongues doth hush, Should be preserved by chisel and and brush. Miss Verna Welborn Bertha Thomas Hattie Mae Argo Lillian Elliston Carrie Sigler AUie Thomas Ethel Hamilton Bonnie Hart, Captain The Trip to Charleston Saturday, March 11, 1916, at 11:25 o’clock, the girls’ basket- ball team and coach rushed (a few dinnerless) to the station.'Some were breathless and almost frantic with fear when they found two of the team missing. They were somewhat calmed when informed that the missing ones would join us at Netherlands. Most of us were in perfect misery until we reached Netherlands, and then shouts of joy were heard from each member of the team, as we saw the approaching ligures of Allie and Bertha Thomas. As Allie and Bertha are two of our best players, we knew that if they did not meet us we would have to get off and wait for the next train south. The vc ry thoughts of having to wait there, to say nothing of missing the trip, was enough to make us turn pile. A negro band furnished us music, which kept us in good spirits. The rest of the journey was uneventful until we reached Sikeston. - When the conductor called out Sikeston, the girls were so ex- cited and afraid that some would not get off that they made a rush for the front of the car before the train had time to slacken its speed. After alighting from the train Hattie Mae’s shrill voice was heard calling to Miss Pickens to ask where the Iron Mountain station was. She was very anxious to find it, since we had only four hours in which to get there. After Miss Pickens politely in- formed her that we we would soon find the station, we went on very quietly, as though traveling were an everyday feat with us. We found the station without any trouble and left our baggage, in order that we might explore the city of Sikeston with as much ease and pleasure as possible. We found the negro band up in town and it furnished us more music. The trip and excitement sharpened our appetites somewhat, and spying a cafe across from the station, we allowed our feet to carry us in that direction. We certanly did our repast justice. Some of the girls showed their relationship to Eve by partaking of some pie, which was forbidden fruit for them. After devouring everything edible within our reach, we de- cided we were ready to start for Charleston. We were just ready to leave the cafe when the Charleston coach came in. She gave her girls such a boost that our nerve began to fail us. Some of the girls even asked Miss Pickens if they couldn’t go back home. However, our colored friends began to play for us, and we resolved to face our foe with a determination to play the game. We boarded our train, which was two hours late, and arrived in Charleston safe, but not sound, about 7:30 o’clock. The game was scheduled for 7:30 o’clock, and we were handed into the hands of the waiting team and coach, who took us to their homes. Supper was waiting us, but we were too tired to partake of the feast which was prepared. After a few glances into the mirror, we were hurried to the Y. M. C. A. building, and there found an eighty-dollar crowd wait- ing for us. The game started immediately after the teams arrived, and you would wonder at us doing as well as we did if you could have looked into the faces of our opponents. You would have to be some tall if you could do this. If ever we felt little, it was then. Bonnie said: “I thought I was pretty good size until I stepped up beside my guard.” Bertha and Hattie Mae said nothing—they were completely lost. Even Carrie was found looking up at her opponent. The tips of Ethel’s and Allie’s fingers only reached the tops of their opponents’ heads. Not only the team did the playing, but the spectators also helped with the ball. After a few touchdowns, we decided we had not sufficient training to play foot ball, and since we wanted to come back to Hayti with all parts, we decided to let Charleston play her game of foot-ball all to herself. The final score was—but, Oh, well! never mind the score; it was a small detail. After the game we were taken to a picture show. Then the team escorted us to a cafe, where delightful refreshments were served. We were royally entertained and began to think the Charleston girls very charming, as all antagonistic feeling ended with the game. Early the next morning we were ushered to the station. All were sorry to leave Charleston. Arriving at Sikeston at 9:30 o’clock, we went to a hotel, greatly disappointed because Miss Pickens insisted that we rest while she went to church. Of course we all wanted(?) to go. At 2:22 o’clock we boarded the train for Hayti. To our great delight we found the boys on the train. They, too, seemed glad to see us, because they knew we could sympathize with them; and we were greatly in need of one another’s sympathy. We arrived in Hayti at 4:10 o’clock, tired, but in good spirits, and were glad to see the sympathetic glances which we received from our fellow students and citizens. Even though our last game was not a victory, it has only given us strength and courage for the next. We think this a good motto: “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” Victory does not always help one; in fact, loss of victory sometimes strengthens us. It is not the loss of victory that counts, but only, “how did you take it?” Some Things Not Already Told This is about some things that happened at school and on some of the girls’ basket-ball trips. Things which the girls forgot about, or would not mention. My sister is one of them, though, and I am in the same room, so I hear and see some things which the rest do not notice. I will first say something about the very first game they played. They were short of confidence and wanted to try out on a foreign court, because they had three new players on the team. They went to Senath, where they were defeated for the first time in three years. Lillian Elliston was playing on the team that day, and Miss Welborn was coaching them. Lillian has some re- latives there and she sure did let her tongue run loose, to hear them tell about it. I guess she felt more at home than the rest of them. When the Senath boys came over here, the girl with whom Bonnie stayed had them tell that red headed girl “Hello.” I be- lieve they had more fun at Senath with the young men who stood around, gazing admiringly at them, than they did playing ball. I also heard Sis say that Bonnie caught a fellow. However, they beat Senath here, so the honors are even. When they played Kennett Lillian did not. go with them, and Miss Pickens was their coach. Both teams played there that irght, and after the games some of the Kennett boys and girls, and also some from Hayti, sat up and talked, I suppose, until morning. Someone said Miss Pickens cried. But we won both games, and when I got to school Monday morning there sure was some hubbub in the study room. It is just like a little boy said: “You can take a bunch of girls, give them something to talk about, and if they don’t make twice as much noise as the same number of boys, I will set ’em up to the crowd.” Sister said that Hattie Mae flirted with all the Malden boys at the reception given in their honor after the game. At least, she threw paper napkins at them. Seems like some of the girls on the team can’t toast marsh- mallows enough to fill up on. I hope I don’t get spanked for this. In Appreciation Miss Pickens took charge of the girls’ basket-ball team after the Christmas holidays, when indoor practice began. She has proved to be a very efficient and enthusiastic coach. She has been greatly loved and admired by all the girls, and has given of her time unsparingly, even when it limited her personal pleasures. Being jolly and fond of fun, herself, she has always made an effort to plan good times for the team. Girls Athletics Girls athletics means basket-ball. Hayti High School has had a girls’ basket ball team for the last four years. In 1912 Miss Ruby Smith, a former player of great ability, organ- ized a strong team out of raw. material. The team played three games, winning two of them. In 1913-1-4 Miss Smith again had charge of the team, which was composed of practically the same players. That year the team played’four games winning all of them. Miss Verna Welborn acted as coach in 1914-15. Pour games were played all of which were won by Hayti. At the beginning of the season of 1915-16 Miss Welborn again took charge of the team. But on account of pressing high school duties the girls’ athletics were turned over to Miss Mamie Pickens. This year the team was composed of Hattie Mae Argo and Bonnie Hart (Captain), forwards; Carrie Sigler and Bertha Thomas, cen- ters; Ethel Hamilton and AUie Thomas, guards; and Lillian Elliston substitute. Later in the season on account of ill health Lillian was forced to stop playing and her place was taken by Lottie Orton. Five games have been played this year: two with Senath, one with each Lilbourn, Kennett, and Charleston. Three of these games, the ones with Kennett, Charleston, and one with Senath were played away from home. The game with Charleston and one with Senath’s court were lost, but the others were won by rather large scores. This year the girls have enjoyed basket-ball as never before. May the enjoyment and success of the team increase year by year!

Pour years ago five boys, each nearer fourteen than fifteen years of age, began to play basket-ball. At that time they were so light and small they did not make a very good showing. But as year after year passed, each one gained in size, weight and experience, until this year when four of the five came back, Hayti came forth with the best team in the history of the school. Harry Gettings and Isaiah Paris forwards, Hugh Harbert center and Blair Buckley gaurd constituted the four who remained of the first five. The old four as they were called, together with either Carl Sigler or Nat Buckley were able to give Hayti the smoothest running team she had ever known, a team which was picked at the South East Mis- souri basketball Tournament held at Cape Girardeau as having the best team work of all the teams showing there. Previous to the tournament the Hayti team with the coaching of Mr. Brooks played and won four games. Two of these were played .with Kehnett, one with Malden and the other with Senath. The Malden boys probably put up the best game although on a foreign court and with a partially crippled team. After their game of Fri- day night with us they went to Caruthersville the following night, where they won by a close score. Thursday at noon before the tournament the team started to Cape Girardeau and arrived there about five o’clock, arrangements were made for lodging the entire team at the same place and after supper every one went to a show and then to bed, but it is said that two of the team accompanied two girls to the show and did not get i:i as soon as they might have done. Friday morning Mr. Johnson attended the drawing of lots and showed part of the team over the Normal buildings. The first game of the tournament was between Hayti and Charles- ton. Hayti opened with a lot of pep and ran the score up to six to nothing: during the first few seconds of the game but the Charles- ton forwards and gaurds got busy and won the game on a three point margin. Good goal shooting, familiarity with a court similar to the one played upon won for them. The Hayti team having been accustomed to a small court, a low ceiling wit£ nine and a half foot goals, were thrown slightly out of gear and were robbed of lots of their pep. However they came back that night and defeated Perry ville by the largest score made during the tournament. Saturday morning at nine thirty Kennett and Hayti lined up against each other and Hayti won a very exciting game. Each team had lost one game so it is easily seen why the game was closely contested. At two thirty that afternoon Hayti and Charles- — ton again met and since Charleston had formerly beaten Hayti, the Hayti boys were determined to get revenge, and had chosen them for that very purpose. Charleston started off in the lead but supe- rior team work suon told and at the end of the first half, Hayti was in the lead. They continued to pile up the score until the only acci- dent of the tournament occured. The ball was tossed up in center and the “old guard” went up after the ball. While in the air some ? ' one slipped under him causing the fall which resulted in a dislo- cated elbow. After the accident Charleston came back a little stronger but were unable to overcome the lead of the other team. The last game played was against Caruthersville and it could hardly be called a game; the regulars of Hayti were run down and disabled. Harry Gettings was suffering from a headache and a stiff thigh muscle. Suffice it to say that Hayti was beaten and therefore had to be content with only third place. Throughout the series of five games played by Hayti, only seven men were used, although nine were carried. The five making the trip besides the “old four” were Carl Sigler and Nat Buckley, guards; Joe and Ellis Kohn and Roy Harper, substitutes. It is meedless to say that everyone enjoyed himself, and con- clusive proof-of the same is the fact that everyone came home in debt, Mr. Johnson having let thirty-odd dollars fly away, and the rest spending sums in proportion to their size. Track As yet Hayti has her name to make on the track, but in future years, when the enrollment is larger, we hope to be heard from. Last spring, in a dual meat between Hayti and Caruthersville, in which Hayti had only seven entries who took part as opposed by many more, a creditable showing was made by them, since Hayti is without a track or a suitable place to make one. However, Hayti sent two men to the Cape last year, and will probably send two again this year. Thanks are due to Sidney Oates and Bailey Brooks for their valuable assistance. Base-Ball In the Hayti High School there are several players whom we expect to see some day in the major leagues. They are: Walter Dorris, who has one of the best whips ever possessed by one of his age. With proper experience he will make a pitcher of the first class. Earl McElheny is well known for his speed and curves. He is a heavy hitter and a good judge of batters. You will hear of him when he goes to college. Eddie Virg Juden is there with his diamond grin and con- tagious enthusiasm. He will some day be known as the second Hans Wagner, and thus bring fame to Hayti. Teddy Argo is small, but wait until his growth comes to him. He is a thorough student of base-ball, and will get by on account of his head work and ability to catch any fly within a block of him. The author is too modest to say anything about himself, but joins with all who hope to see the Hayti school lead in base-ball, foot-ball, basket-ball and track work. V i School Savings Bank Allie Thomas Joseph Kohn Hattie Mae Argo Earl Raybuck Ethel Hamilton George Sigler Isaiah Faris Nathaniel Buckley History of the School Savings Bank In October, 1913, Hayti school organized a savings bank and called it the Hayti School Savings Bank. Banking hours were made from nine to ten o’clock each morning. Any amount might be deposited, from one cent up. At the close of the day this money was deposited by the cashier in the Bank of Hayti. The bank officials were elected by the students of the High School. The board of directors elected were: Harry Gettings, president; Hugh Harbert, vice-president; and Bonnie Oates. Blair Buckley was elected cashier, with Bonnie Hu t, Nellc Hayes, Isaiah Paris and Charles Ellistpn as assistants. At the close of the school term each child drew out his deposits, as the bank was to be closed during vacation. At the beginning of school in 191-4, the bank having been such a success, it was decided to re-organize. The same plan was followed as in 1913. The following officials were elected for 1914-15 school term: Board of Director : Bonnie Oates, president; .Tsaiah Faris, vice-president; Hattie Mae Argo and Joseph Kohn. 'Earl Raybuck was elected cashier, with Bonnie Hart, Lillie Sprayberry, Hugh Harbert and Ellis Kohn as assistants. The bank again closed at the end of the school with even greater success than of the year before. In 1915-16 school term the following were elected as officials: Board of Directors: Isaiah Paris, president; Nat Buckley, vice-president; George Sigler and Earl Raybuck. Hattie Mae Argo was elected cashier, with Joseph Kohn, Ethel Hamilton and Allie Thomas as assistants. The plan of banking as followed previously lias been followed with equal success. The children have shown a great deal of interest in the bank, and every child is now studying the meaning of a bank to him. They are learning banking at first hand, and in this they are realiz- ing what it means to save. They are also beginning to grasp the meaning of banks and are being encouraged to think of business matters that will be of value to them in later life. It is said that since the School Savings Bank was organized several of the older children have opened saving accounts at the regular bank, being inspired by the school institution. H. M. A.

The Love of a Savage Several years ago, when 1 was wandering in the wilds of Africa, I came upon a small, secluded village in the lake district. Many of my carriers and lighting men had either perished from fever or had been killed in the many little frays in which we had been engaged, so I stopped there to bargain with the chief for the needed men. The rainy season set in before I was ready to start, and I decided to wait until the weather was more favorable, thinking to rest up for the weary months before me and to study the interesting and amusing manners and customs of the savages in this particular district. The chief of the village was a pleasant fellow, considerably past middle age, and given over to the pleasures of life. He fre- quently gave large feasts, to which I was always invited. After the meal was over we would tell our experiences while drinking and. smoking. One day, after the customary dinner, we were sitting in silence, when I chanced to call his attention to a stooped, white haired and feeble old man. To my intense surprise the chief said' they were of the same age, and that the man could tell a very interesting story. So the next day when I came upon him tending the cattle, I engaged him in conversation and soon asked him to tell me the story of his life, saying that the chief had suggested it. Then he told me the following story: “My name is Kanaka. I was born of humble parents in this village and have always lived here. In my childhood days I played and grew up with every beautiful maiden named Nowanda. “You know that when a girl becomes old enough to help her mother she begins to have certain little duties to perform. Also, you know something of the pride of boys over ten and how they profess to hate girls and women. “In this way we drifted apart, and my father also occasionally took me on long trips. I followed the warriors at an early age, and so Nowanda was completely lost to me. “I was several years older than she, and after a few years I began to think of making a name for myself in war and then to find a wife arfd settle down to a life of comfort. After I had become known for a few exploits I began to seek for my mate. “In my searches I was attracted to a very beautiful girl in whom I recognized my old playmate, Nowanda. I set out to win her, and she, sure of me, played with me as a cat does with a mouse. Many were the moonlit nights in which I wooed her, and all of my adventures I told her. She thrilled at them and for my deeds admired me. At last the day came when I suddenly took her into my arms and she lovingly put her arms around my neck: then I kissed her. All that day we were happy and, rejoicirg in each other’s love, we planned our future lives together. “The course of true love never runs smooth, and the next day we learned that the young chief (the one you know now) was at- tracted b.v my Nowanda. Nowanda, beautiful as Helen; Nowanda, with skin smooth and soft as the fox’s fur; Nowanda, with eyes deep, clear and loving—eyes innocent and pure as the doe’s, and a form more perfect than any of those around her, and lithe and active as a panther’s. “How could her father refuse the chief? Tell him of our love he dared not. So I went to the chief and told him all. The num- ber of his wives was then twenty, and in a spirit of justice and kindness he told me that I could have her if, in her place, I would supply a maiden from a hostile tribe all as beautiful as she. “That same day I parted from my Nowanda and started on my 'quest. Disguised as a wandering warrior I searched the enemies’ villages in vain. I traveled on into strange districts, and on . dav in the wildest of tribes I found a maiden that suited. That night I stole her away and, pursued b.v all the warriors, I made m.v Wjty homeward with my prize. The space of time set for my return had passed, and the chief had said that he and Nowanda would be married in the new of the moon. With all haste I was re- turning; but Nowanda, pining and grieving for me, passed away on the day she was to be married, That same day I returned with my prize, and the chief, with tears in his eyes, told me that my darling was dying. “With trembling footsteps and tear-blinded eyes I made my wa ] to her bedside. When I reached her, her lips were still warm a .d her eyes were still tender. I took her into my arms and kissed her; she smiled and passed away.” Thus his story ended. ----o---- The next day I saw through his doorway the form of a woman and he with his arms around her. Thinking of his story, and wanting a coal for ray pipe, I stepped in to his hearth, stooped to pick up a coal, and in so doing, laid a hand on the woman’s shoul- der. To my surprise, it was cold and so’id as a stone. I turned my eyes to the face and perceived that it was the face of a mummy. Kanaka’s eyes were full of tears and his voice trembled with emotion as he spoke: “She is Nowanda; I love her too m uch to give her to the grave.” Success “What is the secret of success?” asked the Sphinx. “Push,” said the Button “Never be led,” said the Pencil. “Take pains,” said the Window. “Always keep cool,” said the Ice. “Be up to date,” said the Calendar. “Never lose your head,” said the Barrel. “Make light of everything,” said the Fire. “Do a driving business,” said the Hammer. “Be sharp in all your dealings,” said the Knife. “Find a good thing and stick to it,” said the Glue. “Doctor,” called the small boy, “come over to our house quick!” “Who is sick at your house?” asked the doctor. ‘-‘Everybody but me. I’d been naughty, so they wouldn’t give me any of the nice mushrooms pa picked in the woods.” “Another new hat! You should really save your money, with the price of everything going up.” “But why? The longer I save it the less I can buy with it.” “Aren’tyou attached to your husband?” asked the judge in the divorce case. “Certainly. I came here to be detached.” Cavalry Sergeant: “I told you never to approach a horse from the rear without speaking to him. First thing you know they’ll kick you in the head, and we’ll have a lot of lame horses on hand.” “First Tramp: “You seem very ’appy abaht it. Wot’s up?” Second Tramp (reading Mr. Asquith’s Guildhall speech): “’Ere’s me bin goin’wivout luxuries all this time, and only jus’ found out that I’ve bin ’ilpin’ the country to win this war.” LIKE CURES LIKE. “Now, Willy,” said his mother, “you told me a falsehood. Do you know what happens to little boys who tell falsehoods?” “No, mamma,” replied Willy sheepishly. Why,” continued the mother, “a big, black man, with only one eye in the center of his forehead, comes along and flies with him up to the moon and makes him pick sticks for the balance of of his life. Now you will never tell a falsehood again, will you? It is awfully wicked!” Calendar Sept. 6.—School opens with the usual confusion and excitement. Sept. 7.—Mosquitoes are very bad.

Dramatic Work For the past four .years dramatics have taken a large part in the life of the Hayti High. An average of two plays a year have been given. For the finance from this source received by the High School we give Miss Welborn credit. She has had charge of this work, and owing to her tact and ability of selecting parts for each individual, the following plays have been given with great success: “Out in the Streets;” “The Puzzled Detectives;” The Voice of Authority;” Those Dreadful Twins;” The Daughter of the Desert;” “Diamonds and Hearts;” “Brother Josiah;” “A Negro Minstrel,” and “Dot, the Miner’s Daughter.” David Mason...
