Vile have avoided the Word ANNUAL since we felt our inability to sponsor an undertaking of such demands. XVe have therefore chosen the term YICARBOOK Which, since it defies definition, may include a thorough resume of the activities as they affect Seniors, only. For that reason we have rejected the accepted annual title, The Pigeonf' and have followed in the steps, in this respect, of the Class '25 which published Pigeon Jrf' Our attempt has been to represent our attain- ments and such phases of the excellent school spirit prevailing as could be, with our limitations. lt has been our desire to emphasize those things which, while not so capable of display, may be of more lasting pleasure. VVe shall consider ourselves happy in our re- sults, if this volume recalls to its readers the pleas- ant and profitable years spent in Henryetta High School. XVith that hope We have gladly labored. 155-5 .

The champion football team was a decided contrast to that of two years before. Another praiseworthy feature of this ycar's sports is the reviving of the National Sport, baseball. Since the school has not encouraged or attempted to form a team for a number of years, we feel justly proud of the very creditable showing which they made as their first effort. Coaches Cox and Ramsdell have attracted the attention of football fans throughout the state as leaders of our Championship Squad. A great amount of commendation is due the citizens of Henryetta also for the loyalty and faithful support they gave to the teams in all the games. They deserve especial praise for their hearty support of the squad at the Ada game, and we may well state that this bit of loyalty played a very important part in the winning of that hard-fought contest. Henryetta has not lost a single game of any kind, baseball, basketball, or football at home in the last two years. Two baseball and two basketball games were the only defeats this year and both of these were in tourna- ments: hence they were not regular scheduled games. The track team this year Was somewhat weakened by the fact that base- ball claimed much of the track stars' time: and, as a result, no very remark- able showing was made in this field. Nevertheless, the tracksters gave their best and won several places in the meets attended. , Q J NP fc V Thirty-tlzrffe E' A - W V, ALL-STATE CHAMPIONS SEPTEMBER 26 The Hens defeated Weleetka 26 to 0 in the first game of the season. Though it was not a very exciting game, Odom's field goal from the thirty yard line furnished a thrill. OCTOBER 1 52 to 0 was the Hnal score of the Prague game. Jimmy LaRue was the star though Pete Nlitchell made three of the touchdowns. The second team took the field at the third quarter and added to the count with many spec- tacular runs. CCTCJIEIER 9 A fumble broke our opponents' scoreless record when Okemah slipped over that touchdown. They dragged home six points while we were content with the exercise and 44 points. OCTOBER 16 Checotah was honored on this day when eleven fighting heroes invaded their domain and staked out 40 points while Checotah remained an even 0. OCTOBER 23 Holdenville was the next victim. 53 to 0 satisfied our ravenous appe- tite. Odom, Mitchell, and Pearson made two touchdowns each and LaRue and Krueger singled. GCTOBIER 30 The lVIorris Eagles visited the Hens' coop but failed to pluck a feather. Though the Eagles' coach suggested many amendments to the rules, he failed to convince the referee, and Morris had to be content with the shut- out score of 26-7. NTOVEMBTER 6 A drizzling rain did not prevent an army of rooters from traveling through bog and slough to assist in the slippery victory we took by a 6 to O score from Eufaula, the much-touted liastern Conference Champs. Pear- son's leadership in this game deserves special recognition because of his wonderful defensive playing. TXIOVEMBIER 11 Three coaches conveyed an uproarious portion of Hens' rooters to Ada where we ended the first half 3 to O. Our boys came to life in the last half and scored four touchdowns, thus proving their steel. 29 to 0 was the last tune played to Ada, whom we respect for the clean sportsmanship which they displayed even while losing. TXIOVEMBICR 26 Turkey Day here and so were the Runts. Krueger scored the first touchdown and Odom kicked goal. McAlester, not satished, scored a touch- down and kicked goal. The half ended with the Hens 7 and Runts 7. Krueger made another touchdown and Odom kicked goal. The Runts came back with their famous passing combination and scored again, but the kick was blocked. Our speedy Beavers made a 75 yard run for a touchdowng Odom kicked goal. Odom scored and kicked goal again. The Runts com- pleted another pass for a touchdown. The L'Flying Dutchman scored again and the final result was the Hens 34- Runts 19.

Much credit is due Ray , for the way he led his teammates to the State Cham- pionship. He is a quick and accurate thinker, and considered as one of the best quarterbacks in the state. H.H.S. will lose a wonderful player here. Ray- mond has earned three letters in foot- ball. The Henryetta High School team was an overwhelming success this sea- son, winning the Championship of the E. C. O. A. Conference. The conference race was very hotly contested since Ada. the strongest contender, and Henryetta both showed a clear record as their claim to the title. Armistice Day was the day of glory for the Hens, when they invaded Ada and won easily 29 to 0. On November 6, Henryetta played Eufaula, whose team had won the E. O. A. Conference, defeated Claremore Military Academy, and had not been scored upong and proceeded to pin the little end of a 7-0 score to their moist backs. The drizzle prevented our boys strutting their stuff and pulling down a larger score, as well as making it very disagreeable traveling for the rooters. Still feeling that there were other fields to conquer, Henryetta bent her energies towards the defeat of the Mc- Alester Runts which was accomplished by a score of 34 to 19. This assured the Hens the Championship of Oklahoma. Henryetta is proud of the total scoring points made in her championship season, 316 to her opponents 32, which proves that H.H.S. had both a good offensive and defensive ma-- chine. Their record might have been still larger but for the policy of Cox to give every man possible a chance to play, when he sees victory approaching. The following men received letters and were presented gold footballs this year: Ray- mond Pearson, Howard Lamb, Lorenz Krueger, Pete lwitchell, Auldon Archer, Sam Bea- vers, Floyd Lambert, Ray Odom, Alex Davidson, James LaRue, Hudson McMullen, Vester McKinney', and Douglas Allen.

He is heavy and very aggressive. He has a habit of breaking up the opponents' plays before they develop. LORENZ KRUEGER. Right End. Kruegm played his best this season. Not only does he have honor of All State End, but he has the re- cord of not allowing a again around his position for the past two seasons. Lorenz did all the punting. with an average of forty yards throughout the sea- son. He has earned his third and last letter in foot- hall. PETE IVIITCHELL. Half-back. This is Pete's fourth year for H.H.S. He is the best broken held runner the school has produced and might be called the Red Grangen of Oklahoma. Pete has earned a letter in each of his four years in high school. AULDON ARCHER. Tackle. KnottyH could always be depended on to get his man. He was heavy and very active, and a deter,- mined fighter. He graduates this year. mlm Ilmtj lu I 1 , -if , 4 .- W. ,, K SAM BEAVERS. Half-back. HSammy proved the hero of the season when he literally ripped the lVlcAlester line to pieces. Al- though the shortest man on the team, he had no dif- ficulty in running through their entire line for long gains. He closed his career by running through their line seventy-five yards for a touchdown. SammyH earned letters in both his Junior and Senior years. FLOYD LANIBERT. Center. Floyd is known as the Hsilent fighter. He is one of the most dependable players on the team. Floyd is very quick and accurate in his passing and punting. RAY ODONI. Full-back. Ray was the heaviest man on the team and on a line plunge was always good for five yards or more. Al- though a giant in size, he was one of the fastest men on the team. H.H.S. can expect much from him next season. ALEX DAVIDSON. Left End. Alex is the lightest man on the team hut he is into every play. He is a very good taekler. mlm N 5 ' Thirty-seven ,mx so IAMES LA RUE. Half-back. Jimmie is that Roman Gladiatorv who threads his way through the hest of tacklers and is as 'Leasily stopped as a fast express, once he gets his head up. He made a sterling running-mate for the invincible HPete and was always there when the opening was made. HUDSON McMULLEN. Right End. 'lHud has had hard luck every season due to in- juries, but his pluck and determination carried him through this season and developed him into a real ground gainer. VESTER McKINNEY. Quarterback. Butch , our tenderfoot uveteranu, has made more progress in this sport this year than most boys make in three. He has the prompt decision and snappy action which makes surprise the greatest factor in his success. DOUGLAS ALLEN. Tackle. Doug could spill a half dozen players any time. He was one of our best defensive men on the team. He has two more years to fight for H.H.S. Thutg flijllf X! 4' J. ...Ki R, , xi, L W-. BASKETBALL reputation failed to withstand the terrific drubbing we gave them and they dragged home their 13 points to our 23. Three days later we relieved VVe1eetka of the H. C. Conference by the easy score of 41 to 16. On lV1arch 12 Henryetta entered the District Tournament at Okmulgee, defeated Dustin, and entered the semi- finals with 1V1orris. This game proved the thrill of the season, for with the Hens strong favorites for the cup, they allowed Nlorris to creep ahead near the final whistle and as a result we were de- feated by the close margin of 20 to 17. This closed our season, with eighteen victories and two defeats. RESULTS D . .1 ENRYI1l:VI7TA High School is justly proud of the record made by the cagers this season. With only three letter men, Cox and Ramsdell built a team whose record, for a time, threatened to duplicate that of the football squad. 1Vith a total of eleven victories and no defeats to our credit, we entered the Ada Invitation Tournament where we succeeded in adding three more scalps to our belt. At the last lap, how- ever, Shawnee surprised us and won the finals by the score of 29 to 27. The Hens were conceded to have been the masters of the floor at every stage of the game, but a single lax moment turned the trick.

As in football, Ray was the tower of strength when it came to defensive work. There was only one way to score against him and that was by a long shot from center. Ray has one more year. FLOYD LAMBERT. Center. Floyd had a habit of getting the tip-off from every opponent. He was an accurate shooter, and his floor work was remarkable. ff 9 A U 5 V 3 i - ku .Y wwf, DON KUH N. Forward. Don was 21 newcomer, but he proved to he a sure source for points. He was a real player and soon proved himself eligible for highest honors of the court. JAMES LA RUE. Forward. 'Qlimmiel' also played his first year, hut, nevertheless his presence assured us that there would be pep. He was often the high point man of the game. LORENZ KRUEGER CCaptainD Guard. Krueg's speed on the court excels that on the grid- iron. Besides this he is a good goal shooter and handles the ball well. This is his third and last year.

The work of the coaches and the baseball enthusiasts among the students made the task less trying, and incidentally gave reason to expect a first-class, Winning team from the squad of rookies Who were out. The team played eight games during the season and Were defeated only twice. At the Ada meet the Purcell nine eclipsed our boys by the score of ten to six. The reason seems to be that, like all teams, our boys had an oil day, just oil a little in their form. Nevertheless, the other teams they played at this meet had good reason to believe that they had tackled a real- team. Again, at Norman in the semi-finals of the Oklahoma Inter- scholastic Track lN'leet, Oklahoma City was our VVaterloo When, according to popular opinion, we played the best game of the tournament. The final count was three to two, of which, in spite ofthe defeat, we are justly proud. We have great hopes and expectations for the teams of the coming years and are confident that they will retain and improve upon the high standards set by the team of the past year.

TRACK, the invincible Pete Was, as usual, the outstanding figure of the team. His su- perb feats of strength, and his becoming mod- 'Y2 esty and freedom from conceit, made him a fitting foundation upon which Coaches Cox and Ramsdell builded the track team this year. In spite of the baseball team, which acted as a restraining influence upon track, Pete took his usual toll of the medals offered at the meets. He has Won forty-eight medals to date and four letters each in football, basketball, and track during his four years in high school. In the Oklahoma relays at Norman Pete Won first in pole vault. In the East Central Track lN4eet at Ada Pete Won first in pole vault, second in discus, and third in shot put. At the Qkmulgee Invitation Meet Pete took first in pole vault, discus, shotput, and high jump, and third in the hundred-yard dashg Sam Beavers Won first in the hundred-yard dash and third in broad jump, Floyd Lambert placed second in the broad jump and James LaRue second in the javelin. At the Oklahoma Interscholastic Track lWeet at Norman Pete Won second in discus and third in pole vault and in high jump. Taken all in all, the track team may be considered quite a success, and H.H.S. is very proud of the results of the team this season.

The cheering brightness of Old Sol's strong light Is dimmed by presence of a force unseen By humans satisfied with human sightg Yet those who look through colored glass, yet clean, Do find the brightness and the shadow there. So through Life's journey that all men travail, We find our Sun not always clear and fair And yet, methinks, that here we cannot fail To find the joy that in our life does pass If only we will gaze through colored glass. -Nfary Sanz ini EVOLUTION The rose does give its beauty rare to allg It brightens darkened lives where e'er it may: Sunshine it gives to every cheerless hall, And happiness it brings to us each day., It shares its sweetest essence with the world And yields not to the saddened side of lifeg The petals opened show the heart unfurled Unscarred by all its struggles and its strife. So, then does love give beauty everywhere And brightens all the woe of several kinds. Love makes the most unbeautiful seem fair And takes all selfishness far from our minds. And from the rose evolved thus wondrous love That God has given to us from above. -Jlbcrta Bates L E SEE M,,M,,,,m.,, F3fy3f3f2g K 51 '- w-,' LOVE The star's frail rays make diamonds of the snow That rests upon the fir tree's slender grace, And sets the flowers of the frost aglow As delicately woven as fine lace. The wind to bending branches all night long Brings melodies of distant dreaming lands, And wakes the swaying boughs in answering song That echoes softly through the sylvan stands. Therels beauty in the calm of winter night Which helps men love each other in a way That harmonizes with God's love and might. And thus it seems the whispering branches say, Let there be peace on earth, to men good will, For Christ, with His great love, is with us still. -Ruth Corba!

Meanwhile, the executioner was in his dungeon, poring over the heads of some of his innocent Victims. At last his most gracious helper called to him to come and take me in charge.

VVords were exchanged between them, and for a second or two, I thought they would murder each other, and I would get out alive. But, alas! no such luck for me. They agreed upon one certain pose and shot me. Now, laughed the cunning murderer, we will take another shot that will be sure to get you. They again argued over the position in which I was to stand. Her argu- ment seemed to be based on art, his on personality. The second shooting was held, and I was surprised to find that I had no wounds. After this, the spouse escorted me to the door and said that I might come back in a week or two for my proof of the shootings. -PV.

All the lower classmen Q 4 4 look forward to the time when they will become Seniors and run around in the halls as we do. Yes, we do run around Qliffir acting as moving vans to transport typewriters or some other much needed article. They seem to think that to be a Senior is to get out of classes two weeks early, wear a cap and gown and receive your diploma, and get out of high school and away to college. Some Freshmen even think that when you are a Senior, you do not have to STUDY. VVell, that is perfectly natural for we thought the same thing in 1922. The main advantage is that all the teachers expect you to have your lessons perfect every day, as they wish to make an example of you for the other students, especially the Juniors and Sophomores. If the Seniors hold a contest for the purpose of making money, the Juniors cry, Swindled, and threaten to mob you and say the whole class is crooked. Then there is a class book to be published and there is more scheming and cudgeling the brain for other ways of earning money. And if you happen to be on the committee to select the class play and the cast, you have worry enough to turn a mummy grey-haired. The ring committee comes in for its share of abuse, for there are those who cannot be pleased, and some of them do not take disappointment very gracefully. Athletics has its sorrows, too. Unless you are a good athlete you can- not make the first team and sometimes not even the second team, because the coaches do not waste their time on fellows that are not good enough for the first team when they know they finish at commencement. So there you arel If you are a Junior or a Sophomore, they would think there was hope of making a football player of you before you are graduated. The same thing applies to basketball and other sports. Therefore, the Senior boy who is interested in athletics, and is not the best of athletes, just goes out and plugs along without hope of making the team, but just plugs along. You hope in spite of everything that you might get to play in one of the games that is of no importance, but always the same old story. You are a Senior and not good enough to make the team this year. Let the juniors play for they have a chance next year. The fair-minded person can see that this is all for the best. Now the above statements are the so-called advantages of being a Senior or of holding any kind of office. But after all is said and done, Iam mighty glad that I am a Senior.

Q Sl Sometimes when lVIiss Waters gives us notes, telling the - facts concerning Shakespeare or some other ancient whose works probably originated in the Dark Ages, my pencil lingers lazily over the meaningless phrases. At last it comes to rest in some groove carved by a student of H.H.S. whose praises were sung in the dim past. On the surface of the desk I find the names of many sons and daughters of our school who have long since sought out their proper places in the wide outer world. I wander back to the time when these students were in the height of their glory. First I see the name of I.ove Valentine VVard, of the class of '22, who I remember as the most celebrated orator of Henryetta High, and who was looking forward to a brilliant career as a United States attorney. Here, in my mind, I skip a few years and find him HHamburger King of the flour- ishing city of Henryetta, also the proud possessor of a loving wife. Then the carved name, hlaxine Hefley, of '21 brings before me the picture of innocence as I see her with long curls and that studious expression. Now my pencil rests on the name of Charles Manney, and I hear again those little rumors that were whispered in the halls. They were only whis- pers, too, because they linked his name with that of one of the faculty and could not be told aloud. Here is Max Diamond's name beside hielbourne Santee's, which was only logical and to be expected. VVherever there was mischief in that year of '22, you could always depend upon lWax's being in the fray. Every class has its ten o'clock scholar and Gas Pipe Lane certainly filled the place well in '22. I,yle's motto for shorthand class was always Better late than neverf' VVhen I see Chris Bryant's name, and immediately that of George Draper presents itself, I remember the gossip that was circulated in 1922. This case proves that old argument brought up so many times about high school 'flove affairs, for Chris and George are married now-but to different persons. As every dog has its day so every high school has its vamp. VVe see Nadine Ray's name and immediately remember her as a vamp and one of the most popular girls of the class of '23. VVe could never imagine her, then, as following the career of a nurse, but such was her ambition. Suddenly startled by Miss VVaters' soft, yet commanding voice, I re- member where I am and from her remarks I find that Shakespeare is in the . 5 DDD 1 Fifty-Iwo ' g g 4 .W-, period of Tragic Gloomf' Realizing that I have completely lost out on my notes, I decide to leave him where he is, and continue my musing. Is it merely accidental that the names of Margaret Devlin, of '24, and Bill Sharp, of '25, are found on the same desk? Both of them won honors on the athletic field and she was a seamstress of no small ability. I remem- ber when their association was an established fact, but still - HIt's a long lane that has no turning. Everyone who has been in H.H.S. for any length of time remembers the carnival that had as one of its features the Gold Dust Twins, or in reality, the VVeber twins of '24, All of this is brought to mind when we see the names of Andrew and George on the surface of the desk. Here I see the name o'f Essie King of '23 fame. She will be remem- bered as the vamp who wasia Cherokee Indian and whose chief attraction was a Dodge roadster. My attention is called now to the names of Footsie Pounder and Hazel Taylor. I sigh in relief fthat being the most violent expression pos- sible in a class rooml when I look back and remember their love affair and realize that this is one high school romance that ended happily! Can the Willie Hare of '22 really be the same Bill I see on the streets today? It does not seem possible: yet neither does it seem logical that Leland Bell could have graduated and long since departed from our midst. Now I think of Mona Stormont, that ambitious editor of the Pigeon Jr. in '25, who has given up her desire to train the minds of young America, and instead, has chosen to be the life companion of Lester Roof of the class of I23. I-Iere are the names of Muriel Bailey and Arthur Russell. I had for- gotten this little bit of high school history long ago, but now I recall it as if it were yesterday. However, the paths of their lives have drifted far apart and it is only history now. These names, Erle White, Gpal Staggs, Horace Cantrell, and Doril Rice, cause me to chuckle just a little when I recall the spice they put in school-life. I can not help but wonder just what feelings were present in the minds of some of the jelly-beans when their red socks were removed by these ruffians. Surely, Miss Carr's watch is fast for it cannot be an hour since I first started musing over the names on my desk, but everyone else is leaving so I realize that I must go, too. I sigh again in satisfaction for I have just completed a most pleasant hour's recitationf ?j. -Mary' Samms and Bernice Poage fl' fifty-fllrrl' . .. ., Y i l'-1-5 E- Taos- -wma no I-. . f Q ' ........-TZ:si.----111: .::,::::i::.,g.ggag-.-xt iff ,f 1-----..,...gg:::::.',.,..

In the first place there is the costume. These dainty gar- ments were borrowed from one family or another until a ' - list had to be made so as to get all the pieces returned to their rightful owners. After much twisting, squirming, and straining, the dress is finally stretched to a sufficient extent to cover our masculine physique when, to our sorrow, we discover that we have forgotten to don the petti- coat. We thought the bloomers were sufficient, but after all due and proper consideration, we realize that it is probably a necessary article, so we drop out of the dress as though it were a straight jacket and slip that lacy petti- coat on, finally getting the dress back in place. The next problem presents itself when we discover that we will have to wear two pairs of hose in order to create a presentable appearance. But, by dint of rummaging and scratch- ing through the spare clothes, we End the desired article and remove this obstacle. Un top of this, comes the discovery that the slipper straps will not meet. After due consultation, a plan is formulated whereby this obstacle is removed. A well-timed suggester informs us that a rubber-band forms an excellent extension for a slipper-strap, so that portion of our masculine anatomy is transformed into a somewhat dainty feminine appearance. The complexion is made up by the congenial friends and helpers, who so willingly offer their assistance in time of trouble and needg and after some pricking of the scalp by sharp-pointed hair pins, the wig is anchored firmly by an ear-torturing hat. The dressing completed, we stand at the stage entrance, calmly awaiting our fate. After various and sundry chills, fever, cramps, etc., caused no doubt by the anticipation of the great success we will no! make in the play, we discover that our part of the program has been postponed until the next to the last number. Upon receiving this astounding information, we are smitten dumb with a sudden wild fear that we will forget our pet speech, the one we have pondered over so long, before the time comes again. We walk the floor until we are overcome with the thought of the ridicule we may be the object of at the hands of the others in the cast: when we drop limply into a chair, fanning our feverish faces and shivering with the chill in our bones. At last the time is near. The first players have already begun and as the hour of doom approaches, the heart has a sudden increase in the fre- quency of its beating. The limbs throb and the temples seem about to burst. As the director pushes the door open and says, HNext, the heart, like the traitor it is, suddenly ceases its hammering, then suddenly renews its wild throbbing with a vigor that eclipses its former thumping. Throwing caution to the winds, we burst forth upon the stage, in full view of that countless multitude of staring eyes, blinking our own in the glare of the footlights. The remainder of our action is in the nature of a trance with our mind .. HUB 1'lffj'-fflllfg i --M QQQ a i V -if My - -- -1- .-..

After the awful nightmare is over, we stumble joyously downstairs to the dressing room, having suddenly regained our senses, and vehemently assert that we will never again be inveigled into submitting to such extreme punishment. -Donald Grew ...qv-QllwUl -qu.. BACK WORK AN INEXPLICABLE PH IQNOMENON ?I'1c56QQl, If any graduate of H.H.S, has not had the privilege of mak- Riji' ing up back work in his spare time, then I consider it only l-455 justice to himself to take a post-graduate course and avail Q 3 , v Q' himself of this privilege. all lf I One of mv reatest ambitions is that some da I ma g i 'i . ' g . . L . 1 yn Y - ' H - . discover, through scientific or psychological ieseaich, the truth about this matter. In one instance I was absent from a class period of one hour and fifteen minutes, and that evening it was necessary to stay two hours and twenty minutes to make up that same amount of work. Surely there is some evil power about such a phenomenon. There are certain states in this world that are permanent and without exception and chief of these concerns text books. I could never understand why any author should concentrate the most important topics of each section of a book on two or three pages. This fact is not objectionable, if it were not true that this is the part I always miss. At times, when considering this matter, a reassuring thought comes into my mind. Perhaps the teachers wish to elongate the pleasure of our company and compel us to do back work after school to accomplish their purpose. VVhatever the cause may be, some day I hope to be able to exempt students from this necessary evil and thus win their everlasting gratitude. -Mar,i' Sammy HUQ W-mm gg Mi -mpg M I !9 D U!'- 1fgf,.,i-,fw Lili' , SENIOR SCOPS THE LOVERS FAREVVELL 'Twas once in Henryetta town There was a guid lad dwellin' And if he wasna' sae heart sair, This story I'd not be tellin'.

Qi? ing set. These words were enunciated in a gruff voice by Randal Nlontgomery, owner and head salesman in the P largest and most up-to-date radio shop in the city of San Francisco, California. just at this juncture, he was inter- rupted by Bill VVheele'r, his star office boy who announces that a messenger has just called with a list of securities from the Beavers Petroleum Company owned and operated by Samuel Beavers, former athlete of H.H. S. and 1936 MODICI. HIS latest model has just been perfected by Professor Clara- 'fi f ' ' 9 , Harvard University. That reminds me, interposed lfdris lNIcNIullen, who had entered the shop with her husband, Hudson, HI heard that Jennie lVIcKay married Lawrence Carlton for his money, of course, and I saw a notice in the paper the other day which said that Nlargaret Merrick was seeking a divorce from her husband, Lawrence Iiyerly, who has been seen frequently in the company of Miss Garnet Prater, prominent society debutantef' Having purchased the radio, I engaged the services of Orville Arnold, the expert mechanic, to install it in my home. As a reward for his services, I invited him and his wife, lNIarie Stocker, over to listen to its initial perform- ance. VVe waited breathlessly until the hour when we could tune in on our first station. After an almost interminable period of time, the dials were arranged properly and the first strains of a wondrous tenor solo floated forth from the vibrant throat of Clerk Cauthon, Caruso's successor. At the close of this number, the announcer, Alex Davidson, in a very fluent tone, informs his invisible audience that we are listening to station Z O O, located at Kusa, Oklahoma. It is owned and operated by Nliss Isadora Rice and Pete Mitchell, under the name of the lNIOre-Static Radio Co. Pete also conducts a correspondence course in stuttering. He further announces that we will next be favored with a solo by Nfary Lou Kuykendall, noted operatic singer. Other numbers immediately following this are: A short talk on f'XVhere Men are lNIen and Cows Ride in Airships Over the Plains of Wyo- ming, by Helen Schriverg A Classical Selection on the pipe organ by Ethel Carpenter, assisted on the harmonica by Annie Guthrie, A short instructive speech on How to Remove Knots from Boards Without Leav- ing a Hole, by Nliss Alberta Bates. Much to our regret, the announcer now informs us that the next num- ber concludes this evening's program. He states that we will have the rare pleasure of listening to D. H. Duncan, the famous Bed-time Story Teller, demonstrate his art with the story Br'erCoon and the Skelet0n's Eyebrow. After a good night's sleep of restless, wakeful dreaming, I wake and hurry to my office, intent upon the labors of the day, when to my consterna- tion, I find that I will have to swim into the presence of Garland Platt, my immediate superior, because he is testing a pair of water-wings of his own invention, in his private office. On gazing around my office, I realize that the cuspidors have not been cleaned, so I promptly discharge Isabel Sadler, who fills the positions of office girl, stenographer, and pen holder. ADA 5 W Sixty-nine E f . Hurrying home to partake of my evening meal, I narrowly escape a horrible death at the hands of hlyrtle Dean, who seems to be the sole pilot of an enormous delivery truck, peddling hay to starving gold-fish. At the next corner, a crowd is gathered around a soap-box of minute proportions, on which, after due pushing, squeezing, etc., l discern Thelma Stormont doing her world-famous Snake Dance, in an effort to sell that wonderful remedy guaranteed to 'lcure all ailments, from warping false teeth to Engrown eyebrowsfl known as HSnake-0il, made by Dr. A. F. Archer, F. O. B. C. O. D. The elocutionist mounted astride an ink bottle on the platform is duly recognized as Raymond Pearson, who has fallen from grace since his divorce from Grace Fairlie. Un rushing madly down the street, in a rickety swing beside the stage door, we encounter lillizabeth Paterson, who opens and closes the door as the actors come and go. She informs us that the feature drama tonight is showing XVill David Nlartin, the Sheik of the Screenf' playing opposite Margaret Kerr, in 'KA Romance of Flaming Youth. The comedy, she says, will be a scream, since that celebrated comedian, VVyatt Gray, is starring opposite Ruth Corbet, with whom, it is rumored, he will soon be hitched for life. At home this evening we tune in on station GX just in time to hear the closing remarks of a scientihc lecture on 'fThe Pleasures of Botany,'l by Gladys Chapman. Twirling the dials, we hear the announcement of a lec- ture on VVhy Bill Cox Lost the Presidency, by Supreme Court Judge Alfred S. Diamond. Immediately following this uninteresting oration, we hear that we can sleep peacefully while we enjoy a solo by Leota Welsh's famous 'Lmale quartettefl composed of: Aline Culberson, Epta Wamplei', Nlary Colfer, and Leota herself. As an encore ljthelyn Stannard sings a saxaphone solo entitled, 'lWhy Little Audry VVagner Ate the Raisins Off the Fly-paperfl During an intermission in the program, we are stricken dumb by the announcement of the tragic death of our beloved class-mate Bernice Poage, who was killed while hanging by one toe-nail from the tail of a comet, trying to discover the chemical analysis of the Milky WVay. Milton Bowman, the janitor of the Chicago jail, promises us that as soon as he can slip away from his wife and thirteen small children, he will whistle a band concert on his hand-saw for us. A second later a wild commotion is heard and we gather that Faye Hicks has just returned from Darkest Africa and has discovered, after years of manual labor, up to her neck in swamps of olive oil, coated with concentrated lye, that good ice will always melt if left out in the sun on a -Iuly day. The announcer now begs our attention while he reads a few communi- cations from various points of the globe. The first is a postcard all the way from South America. VVe were very pleasantly surprised to hear that it was from Waltei' Moflitt, our old friend, who states that he has amassed a huge fortune by selling photos of crocodiles to the natives along the Amazon. A telegram is the next message and he reads to us the following: My Wife, Grace Tiger, and I are enjoying your program immensely over our radio which we earned by selling cats to a violin factory. Signed, Vernon Vin- cent. This concludes the program for tonightg so I decide I will go riding in my new Krueger Straight-lilight roadster, equipped with More-Flat Bal- loon-Less Tires, perfected by George Powell. Driving past an alley, much to the disgust of my nasal organ, I discern lVIr. Ledru Peeples engaged at 2 3 Seventy gl.-gl .Af K .wf his new position of lifting the lids off of garbage cans for the collectors. Under a flaring row of foot-high letters on a billboard, I see the picture of Miss ljthelyn Reynolds, who is now gaining national recognition as the second Irene Castle. I note mentally that I can't afford to miss this. Gazing on down the street, I view a street-cleaner, in a snowy uniform, whom I recognize as Floyd Lambert, cleaning up a heap of ashes which Ruth Rorex has just dropped when she stumbled, in the act of emptying them in the ash-can. I hail them joyously and inquire if they have heard any news of our old friends. Ruth says she was arrested by Allen Reid, the cop, for parking her car in front of a fire-plug. Floyd told me that Donald Grew, the newly-made millionaire, who made his shekels by inventing a method for rejuvenating super-annuated Fords, has presented lVIayoress Harry Lee Odell a miniature model of Henry's art with a crimson top. QThe Ford, of course.j I return their gossip by relating that NIary Samms has gone hopelessly mad trying to decide which is most proper 'fain't'l or Hhaintf' Bidding them farewell, I drive on down the avenue, where I come upon XVillie Rea Richey, VVade Hopkins, and lN'Iabel lVIellor as the owners of a veterinary hospital which especially solicits wild animal patients. lfuphemia Cullen, the head nurse, appeared around the corner, leading three skunks and a blind mouse, and waved at me. The street leads now toward the beach, where I am suddenly confronted with Dorothy Stormont and Zelah Turner, who are gathering thirteen-legged shell-less snails for Professor Alvin Hughes, the noted bugologist. As I turn away I meet Helen Rose Haynes and Marie Smith, who are on a hiking trip from San Francisco to Peking, China. Leaving the beach, I turn homeward but before I have gone far, I see a pedestrian whom I recognize as lVIitford jack. He has just spent a pleas- ant evening splitting infinitives with his fiancee, Gladys Southard, who is the secretary of the Anti-eating Society of Poland. As we speed along the cliffs toward home, a wheel suddenly comes off and the car hurtles out into the billowing waves below.

And they were gathered together to choose for themselves leaders, and did call forth Mary Samms, Evelyn Ham, and Helen Schriver. And it came to pass that after - many moons of work they Went forth into the land of vacation and it was Well with all the people. And it came to pass after four-score days and ten they did return unto the land of l'l.H.S. and were called Sophomores. Under the guidance of Mr. Yates, Helen Schriver, and lWary Samms, they did many deeds of great worth. And after many days they did present a play called A Perplexing Situation, and it was well in the sight of all the land. Their warriors did go forth and by their deeds of Valor on the athletic field did bring honor to their class. And when they were called Juniors they did choose for their leaders, Frank Donnell, Ledru Peeples, Helen Schriver, and Mary Samms. And in the midst of their work the Death Angel did visit them and took from their number, two. And they were exceeding sad and the whole land did mourn. But after a time they did present another play 'fHis Uncle's Niece and with the money therefrom did perform a miracle. They changed the gym- nasium into a garden and great was the joy of the Seniors when they did revel therein. And it came to pass that after many days they Were called Seniors and their joy knew no bounds. They did make for themselves a Writing and did call it f'The Squabfl Long and hard did they labor under the leadership of MissWaters,Wyatt Gray, Mary Samms, lsabel Sadler, and Helen Schriver. As was their custom, they again presented a play, f'Looks Like Rain, and again the multitude was well pleased. After a time, Mr. Barton, the ruler of H.H.S., did call them forth before all the people and did say unto them, Get thee hencel Your Work is done and we have no further need of youf' And they departed, each carrying in his hand a diploma. Yrwnty-tlzrre il L ....,LlTL'.Qf..1.i.1Tf'g1'QQw..if .. , ,, l I v--, BIG AUCTION SALE! 'QEQQLQXSQ ADIIQS and gentlemen: VVe have this afternoon, a collec- 'X-' tion of very valuable articles belonging to members of the Y.-GW Senior class, which we will auction off to the highest bidders. My 44, Take a look at this fine Boots bob of WyattrGray's. How much am I bid for this handsome head of hair? Three cents? Fine. YVho'll make it live, only two more cents. Four? Sold to Emma Cosper. This young lady gets the bob for four cents. How does this beautiful new Ford roadster of Donald Grew's look to you? It is complete in every detail except one-half of the seat. What am I bid? Ah, twelve cents. Anyone else? Thirteen cents? Fine. Sold to Ray Odom. We hope he will receive as much pleasure from it as the former owner did. This dark and forbidding frown, belonging to Lorenz Krueger, should be worth a good bit to someone. He used it to instill fear into his oppon- ents on the athletic field and it was equally as efficient as a means of deluding teachers into thinking he was studying. First bid gets it! Sold to James LaRue. Gladys Chapman, since she is now leaving school, has requested that we dispose of her marvelous giggle. It is of a superb tone and often reaches the third high MCH. VVhat? Twenty-two cents? Sold to Lottie blae Hughes. Miss Hughes, we hope you will furnish as much amusement for your class- mates with it as Gladys has in the past. Will David lylartin wants to sell his straight walk. lVe can recommend this walk because it has always got him there eventually and has never en- tirely gone back on him. Vester lWcKinney bids one-fourth cent. Anyone else? No? All right, sold to Vester. We have a bundle of extreme modesty and shyness belonging to Ledru l. Peeples. VVe are offering this as a special bargain, which you will realize if you look over the record of his achievements. Sold to James Buchanan for the sum of six and three-eights cents. Pete Mitchell has informed us that, since he has Hnished his bookkeep- ing course, he has no further need for his glasses. Any Junior who con- templates taking that subject next year will greatly improve his chances of passing by purchasing these optical aids. Howard Lamb looks as though he is going to snap them up. Am I right, Howard? All right. Sold to Howard for one dollar, ninety-seven and one-fourth cents. What is in this package? Oh, theylre abilities of Dorothy Stormont and Helen Schriver for catching jokes. VVe would suggest that some very witty Junior buy these line abilities. Fine, sold to Alma Lee Gandy and Spuds Fretwell, and may they make good use of them. One more article is left. This is the exclusive property of Faye Hicks. She says she regrets relinquishing her possession of the same, but since she has come to the parting of ways, it will probably be best. What am I bid? Thirteen cents. Fine: there is a young lady in the back who seems very de- sirous of obtaining it. I think that this half of the seat of a certain Ford is well worth the amount for which I now sell it to Miss Dot Spencer. This concludes the sale for today. The next auction will be held May 20, 1927, in the High School Auditorium, at two o'clock. Srifwzty-foul' 1 A fi To Wd?

And if, perhaps, by any chance, We failed her to remind Of something she said, did, or knew, Aught other fun we'd End? Ur maybe if George Parks would fail To get behind the rest, lndignant tones they both would useg These quarrels we all loved best. Perchance, our graceful Wyatt dear, Yvould fail once to request, In voice so toned with great respect, If after Work, We'd rest? lf Donald had no candy there, Or cakes to eat in class, Wfe all are sure that each one there lVould wish the hour would pass.

Czilbetrxon XVORDSSWORTH MODERNIZED I wandered gayly as a Senior That floats on high o'er books and drills, VVhen all at once I saw a crowd, A host of little junior frills, Along the walk, beneath the trees, Flirting and charlestoning in the breeze Continuous as the 'fF's that shine And twinkle on the chemistry Way, They stretched in never-ending line Just like a little sunshine ray, Ninety-seven saw I at a glance, Some in short dresses, others balloon-pants. The Sophies beside them danced, but they Outdid the little things in glee, A Senior only could be gay, In such a clever company, They danced-and danced-but little thought What fun the show to a Senior brought. For oft, when on my desk I lie, In vacant, which is my pensive mood, They flash upon my inward eye IVhich is the cat's ankle of solicitude.

Ahl The clock striketh sev'n And staff meeting time is here, A thing that occurs so often That it ceases to create cheer. All at once down the hallway I hear a terrible roar, And the thought comes to me That someone is pounding the door. I hurry down the stairway And tell the member to come in, But now I hear the old question What time did the meeting begin?H Very lucky to see him here at all, I quickly tell him this: You're just in time sir, have a seat. There's nothing you have missedfm Then we go to the meeting room And engage in our line of work, For never was there a meeting When from duties we would shirk. As I pick up a certain paper And the contents try to read, Again I hear a staff member yell, Open the door, and hurry please l So I lay aside the letter And rush down the hall to the door, VVhen I see a figure dart 'round the corner And for the night is seen no more. I always like to have my jokes, But deliver me from these, For to play them on a tired editor Does everything but please. Ninety-four Again I am J ' And over the various tasks muse, VVhen again I hear that awful door Chl Heavens, whatls the use? I hurry down the hallway, And there what meets my gaze? 'Tis two of the staff have come, And both have come at once. Ahl but it would be wonderful If they all came in a crowd, But it seems that in their belief Such miracles are not allowed. I let them in to take up their duty, 7 ii? 4 1 i- ur V, But it seems they have come for fun, For the very tallest of the two Knocks the other for a home run. But of course I know to expect thisg It will happen in any crowd, That the one who really chooses to work Finds he's very seldom allowed. Now I am calculating figures And have summoned every concentrating power, VVhen one of the staff does the maypole dance, VVhich proves the scream of the hour. So I slip into the office room, Thinking it a quiet retreat, When all at once comes a loud bang, 'Which ouickly brings me to my feet. VVell, it's another staff member arriving, And I must let the tardy one ing So I smile at him very gently, Tho I'd like to hit him on the chin. YVell, again I return to the working room, And I count them one by one: Finally they have all arrived So the work is at last begun. Then I seat each one at his or her work And try to think they are serious, VVhen one of them starts dancing around, As though he were delirious. But nevertheless one hour has passed, And cutting up has seen its finish, I suppose that they are about worn out Or the noise would not diminish. But, after all, they have left the walls And have not cracked the ceiling, And now I have every staff member present- Oh! Boy, ain't it a gran, and glorious feelin'l -Ledru Peeples WHO I saw him there before As I passed by the door, Striving hard to pass In that Junior English class.

This page holds friendship's memories true, And this a rosary of pressed flowers,- Faded reminders of my frolielzing hours, And all that joy has gifoen me - with rue. And others - a silly caricature of me, And poems - one of wafving fields of grain. A nd all these trivial savings seem to me More wealth and pride than all of money's gain, Pleasure is recompense enough for sorrow, And then shall I quite carefree meet the morrow. -MILDRED VEATCH 'I AOA e' x - One Huzzzlrzfzl Fiv I 4 fi f TfUMW 5 R IT: uKLAH MA 'P jv--J W 457 VOIIN E l9l6 0 A UNI!
