OLSON, President Telephone 379 MONTGOMERY COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL. GREETINGS ET us introduce you to our ninth annual, the ORANGE AND BLACK for 1919. May you find herein much to please you, and may it serve as a memory book. The 1919 ORANGE AND BLACK is given to you as the result of many toilsome days and sleepless nights. It has been our endeavor to make the book conform to the spirit of the times. We have also endeavored to make this number characteristic of the school it rep- resents. To leave a Written record of the happenings, the classes, the sclhool activities and the associations around which many happy memories are centered, has been our objective. We are deeply indebted to the student body and the faculty for their Willing and conscientious efforts in helping us to complete the book. Nor shall We forget the patience and kindness of our photographers, of the Scott, Reinhard and Baugh Studios. Then we remember Mr. Connelly, Bert, formerly spoken of as The Tall Guide Post but not too tall to stoop to give us 'his good advice, and' tell us how to avoid dlifliculties that have been encountered in pre- vious years. As to our advertisersg you will find among them the business men of Independence and vicinity Who are always loyal to the school andf are Willing to su-p- port all school activities. Of those business men of Independence who are not represented in these pages, We have nothing to say, vve'll leave it to you. The business men have responded liberally -and we, believ- ing in a square deal, recommend to them your trade. Again we -Wish to thank our many friends and classmates for their sympathy and kind suggestions during our recent torture, and almost untimely death, in our efforts to make this annual possible. If you like this book say so. If you don't like it say so. It is all the same to us for We are now on our Way and its too late to kick. The task was wished upon us and we have done our best. -ED. r , J 1 i Q DEDICATED 4141 4141 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41 4 +1+:++-xxxxx-x 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 ' 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 , 41 41 41 41 41 41414141414141414141 THE BOYS WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFIUE.

Gordon Olin Debo K i 32, X 1 l X X l To Qur Soldiers and Sailors and All A CG1enn Dewlin fell in the Argonne battle September 28, 1918. A comrade bending over him got this last message: Tell my mother I was not afraid to die. J I II To every lad who gave his life. Soldier rest, thy battle endedg Now thy form with earth be blenrdedg Hallowed region Where thy ashes lie. Every breeze that sweeps the ocean Tells the source of thy devotion: Mother, I was not afraid to die. To every lad who offered his life. Soldier pause, nor rush to battleg Gone the shock, and roar, and rattle: Let the smoke be lifted by and by. May your courage fail you never And this feeling guide you ever: Mother, I was not afraid to die. 9 O I GeMmBLAcKt19 . 17 -.-Y 14 - ' 'Y Gur Contribution to the Cause of Democracy. M. C. H. S. looks with pride upon her returning soldiers and sailors. It is they who have made the greatest contribution. Nor shall We ever forget those vvho have made the supreme sacrifice. Our Service Flag complete bears 286 stars, seven of which appear in gold. We are also proud of the part performed by the students toward the vvin- ning of the war. They responded nobly and willingly to every call for loans to the government or contributions to every worthy fund. Last year We gave up the chapel hour for the folding of tape bandages. A complete idea as to the ex- tent of our part in the World war may be seen by a glance at our tabulated report of War Work Activities. 'Our boys have been scattered far and Wide in all branches of the service. Wherever there is a branch of the American service there M. C. H. S. is Well represented. A good number of our boys have returned and We are anxiously looking forward to the speedy and safe return of all that are still in the service. AMEND, HENRY, S. A. T. C., University of Kansas.

Exams were over, Commencement too, And the young man's High School days were throughg His Diploma lay within his hand, his head upon the table, And he dreamed a dream which we'll relate the best that we are able. The Faculty in Paradise Time had passed Chow long a times-who knows?J and the strain of the last two months of Senior activities, athletics, dramatics, anxieties as to whether or not we would graduate, etc.-had been too much for us. We had all passed on, not only from High School but frozn mortal life. Arrived at the Pearly Gates, we re ieived our first surprise upon recogniz- ing in the place of Saint Peter-listen-our old friend, Prof. Burfield, former instructor of Scrub-ology and Dust-ology in H. S. We were even more sur- prised when informed that ALL the teachers who had taught when we graduated had gone to Heaven. We rather expected to find Miss Paterson and Mr. Nees and possibly Mr. Allen, but to find Mr. Castillo and Miss Sheets there was entirely beyond us, so we crowded expectantly toward the Custodian of the Golden Keys crying clamorously, Let us in! Let us in! At iirst he hesitated, but he always was a good sport, so after a little persuasion, he unlocked the mighty doors and we swarmed in. Being a well organized class, we did not separate, but started in a body to seek our former teachers and renew acquaintances. Where will we be likely to find Mr. Nees?,' we asked. f'Oh, you'll probably find him at the School, answered this modern Saint Peter. At School !r School in Heaven? 'Sure! But the boys and girls up here are little Angels and don't mind going to school. Mr. Nees rules with Cas at his right hand and Uncle Dick at his left, but the right hand knoweth not what the left hand doeth. If you'll wait a minute, Illl go with you to show you the way. But suppose some one should come to the Gates while you are gone? we asked doubtfully. Not much danger of that, he replied laconically. Jiitney Dances on Earth, business dull up here. I have more time than I know what to do with, so I am seeking the office of Constable. It might help my cause if you should circulate a petition favoring my selection. A Constable in Heavenli' we exclaimed in horror. Safety first, replied Burfield. Since we received word that the Class of '19 was coming here, the office has been created. With Burfield leading, we started for the school house. Our path lay among nl- i l-Dn A-riff? AQYIXF S A 19 A 0RA1jGE1'm13L253KN19 1 MEMBERS OF FACULTY J. J. BAKER ZELDA REPPERT E. J.

The scenery everywhere was not only very beautiful but it had an addedf interest in its variety of many-hued flowers, flowers which you may never see, since they are found only in Heaven. Soon we entered a dense forest, and right in the midst of the forest we saw -what do you think?-a tall figure pacing to and fro, gesticulating wildly and declaiming in a loud oratorical voice. Is that Hamlet reciting his famous Soliloquy? we asked curiously. No, no, said Burfield, laughing. That's just T. B. Hello, Mr. Henry! Wlhat are you doing here? How do you do Mr. Burlield. As to the question which you have so un- sophisticatedly propounded, I will relieve your curiosity forthwith. Tomorrow is my day in lChapelg I'm going to give an abridged dissertation on the life of Theodore Roosevelt, and I'm 'pulling it off on the trees'. Now, may I ask who these young folks are and whither you are conducting them? Don't you know who we are? Why weire the Class of which old M. C. H. S. is most proud-the Class of '19 ! 'fWhy to be sure-it is the Class of '19! Surprised to see you here. Your pardons, all. You see, I seldom recall the faces of my pupils. I seem to recall postulates more readily. There's a reason: Pupils are transientg Postulates eternal. Q We all declared that T. B. looked much stouter than we had ever seen him before. So pleased was he that he immediately began to tell us funny stories and new C?J jokes and recited, with much beautiful tone color and literary ap- preciation, his favorite verse: Little Willie, dressed in sashes, Fell in the fire and burned to ashes. By and by the room grew chilly But nobody cared to poke up Willie. As we came out of the woods, we saw many young people running around poking their noses into everything, picking, smelling, tasting, and discovered it was Mr. Castillo and his Botany class gathering specimens. After talking over old times for a while, we showed him some wonderful flowers which we had gathered. What shall we call these, Mr. Castillo ? we asked from force of habit. Uh, just call them Moses and go on, sounded natural. We did go on, promising to see Cas later, and when we came in sight of the school Ca structure so beautiful that it beggars descriptionj, we heard the Angel Choir singing No. 208, Out on the Deep . When we entered her magnificent studio, we found Miss Evans beating out the measures in two- four time. Burfield informed us that she was preparing to give a great Ora- torio, and he whispered that she was losing all the religion she ever had. Hav- ing been prepared for the worst, we were really surprised when Miss Evans greeted us with genuine enthusiasm, asking each one if they wanted to take Voice or Piano lessons. After leaving Miss Evans, we hurried in to see Mr. Nees. Sammie,' was ii- ? .EA N1 ..9-gf? .AJXX I A .E L -' ,- Y, ,A .V .1s.J- - ,W -Y-7- f 21 .

Mr. Nees rapped for order and the exercises began. The principle attraction on the program was a reading by Miss Appleby, and it made such a hit that she had to respond to an encore. By that we knew that she had established herself as firmly in the hearts of that student body as she had in ours. Miss Paterson led the devotional exercises and made some announcements in behalf of the Y. W. C. A. Mr. Nees, then stepped forward to say just a word about the Lecture Course. He was again forced to rap for attention and reminded the students that such conduct from individuals in an institu- tion of this characterl' was entirely out of place. During Chapel, we noticed two little Angels who were looking over Miss Appleby's shoulder at ia letter which the latter was reading and which was signed:'fAlways at your service, Lieutenant --. -. The letter had been written, not to lMiss Appleby alone, but to several members of the faculty, yet hardly an hour had passed until the report was all over school that Miss Ap- pleby was receiving 'tmushy letters from a young officer. We also were scan- dalized to hear that Miss Paterson had gone to the Lecture Course with a strange man. 1 After 'Chapel we visited Miss Parker's Geometry class. We had hoped that our geometry and algebra troubles would be over when We get to 'Heaverh but we found Miss Parker still trying to teach her pupils how to B2 and how to biseot angles Knot Angelsj. Mr. Andrews, we found busy showing his Chemistry class how gas is gen- erated. tHe was always a pretty good authority on that subjectj. Andrews was also the leading tenor in the Angel Choir and coach of the boys' athletic teams. Athletics in Heaven? Well, why not? Our next visit was to Mr. Allen's history class. We found that history was really a very interesting subject in Heaven because, whenever any doubts arose in the study of the life of some noted warrior, the class could visit that worthy individual himself and learn the truth. We had ialways wondered how Uncle Dick would look in the snow-white draperies of Heaven and at last our curiosities were gratified. We were especially pleased with the impression created by the sandals. The next teacher that we visited was Miss Stevens. We found her, as usual, just bubbling over with fun and good humor, but We only got to talk to her a moment. She explained that it was her ambition to read every play ever dra- matized, and there were so many in the libraries of Heaven that it took all her spare time. She also informed us that it was still her custom to go to bed every night at 9:00 ofclock. CThink of it! Such a custom is unusual in the new generation of teachersj . ' Just as we left Miss Stevens, we heard a familiar, soft voice say, Buenos Dias, Senoritas! Bonjour, Monsieurs! It was Miss rO'Brien, whom we remem- bered as a good sport in the days gone by. She informed us that she was fn- X C' 'l --pT'f'fh? ft XFLQ: :Brix 23 01155 GEANDEUXQK X19 , is-3 MEMBERS OF FACULTY JOSEPHINNE COOPER MRS. EARL A, DABNEY WBT. PEASE ANGIE PARKER H. E.

Why should I? she asked with just a touch of old sarcasm. 'tThere are no Germans in Heaven. Verboten! Naturally, this pleased us very much, but we rushed off gaily to see the other foreign language teacher, Miss Dyer. She was just as pretty as ever and was very content with her lot. She said that Latin, being a dead language, has naturally been chosen the oflicial language of Heaven. The Business Department was next, and there we found Miss Strand un- ravelling the mysteries of Shorthand and teaching her pupils to run chromatic scales on the typewriter. Mr. Baker's prodigies were learning to juggle dol- lars and cents and were getting good training for future service as Recording Angels. We learned later that Mr. Baker had led Chapel exercises the day before our arrival and had treated his auditors to a couple of Bass solos. Our next stop was the Manual Training Department. Mr. Pease courte- ously showed us some work that his boys were turning out and it certainly was splendid work. He was busy preparing some stage scenery for Miss Appleby's Oral English Play and we were sure that if he helped as much in that play as he used to at M.C.H.S., Miss Appleby need not worry about stage properties. From the Manual room we went to see Miss Ingleman, whose duty was to start the Freshies in the straight and narrow path. We were certainly glad to SSG h9Y, f01' WG HIWHYS will have a Warm spot in our hearts for her. She had been in charge of the Study Hall during her vacant periods, but she was too humang she couldn't get mad. We passed on soon to the Study Hall and Library. Miss Cooper was cer- tainly in her element, for she had charge of the entire Library of Paradise and had the honor of being the first Librarian to introduce the Dewey Decimal system of Card Indexes in Heaven. Mrs. Dabney was there too, for she had been the last member of the Fac- ulty to enter Paradise and had been placed in charge of the Study Hall. In the course of the conversation, she took occasion to favor us with a short moral talk on My Ideal Man . She advanced some beautiful ideas, all right. But most of us used to know Mrs. Dabney when she was just Vashti. After leaving the Library, we went to see Miss Reppert, whom we found in the Gymnasium, coaching the GiI'lS' Basketball team. Zelda's only complaint against her new life was the fact that all the Angels wear robes and there are so few patterns that her Domestic Art work was necessarily restricted. Suddenly the girls, who had been busily describing to Miss Reppert the latest styles on Earth, noticed that all the boys of the Class had beat it . In a few moments, they were discovered grouped about Miss Sheets and basking in the warmth of her sunny smile. The boys were eating Angel-food cake and Divinity fudge while the Faculty kid Was telling them of a certain young man from K. U. who had gone overseas. The lively conversation which followed was interruped by the clamorous ringing of a bell. The dream was over and the young man's arm Reached out and choked that Pesky alarm . r 11- Vl f h KM, xmfj gf' , 25 N l ,1 N n 4 1 4 n N L '-71 wma wwe 4 'Z ff QV!

But it is with the Freshmen of '15 we are concerned. We were the Freshmen of 'l5. Well do we remember our entrance day. We came in small groups, fearing to meet all sorts of dangers and pitfalls. Lucky was the Freshman, who had an older brother or sister to act as his pilot. Our greenness and bashfulness, how- ever, soon wore off and by the time we had reached our second year no one would have suspected us of either. We thought we were needed everywhere and never hesitated in offering our services. , The next year, our Junior year, was a red-letter one. Our country was at war and our brothers and friends, even some of our classmates, were leav- ing for various training camps. We who were left at home knitted socks, sweaters, helmets, etc., with vim. We took the chapel hour too, and boys and girls together folded miles and miles of Red Cross bandages. Only one other class ever had the honor of doing Red Cross work. And along with all this we found time to get enough credits to make us Seniors. We tried, too, to show the departing Seniors a good time. We hope the Juniors of this year profited by our example. And now we are Seniors. Although our Hnal year has been broken into by ban after ban, we are not a class who flew C iiu J in any sense of the word. We have hit the high places, and joyfully condensed and concentrated on our work in order to deserve our graduation credits. Our dreams are realized. I wish all our dreams could be realized as easily as this. We hope it may bring as much pleasure to us as the past four years have brought. Wherever we may be, we will always keep a warm spot in our hearts for our Alma Mater and try to live up to her expectations for the Class of '19 . -EDITH HENDERSON. illll - Aff, es, 28 L - A Q oRANGeAgDBL21gCKj1eW, REID PINKSTON Class President, Annual Staff, Orchestra, '17, '18, Glee Club, '19, Everytihing he has goes to 'Smith'ers.

TNQ? HXE Q . - 0RmGBm.PLP:9Ki19 . . Junior History According to the rules for making an Annual the Juniors are always allowed space in which to praise themselves. Somebody's got it to do. All the preceding Junior classes have written of having in their midst the best looking girls, most studious pupils and most powerful athletes of all classes that have ever entered M.lC.H. S. We Juniors of '19 do not desire that people think we are stuck up or that we are exaggerating. But, here are a few of the plain and simple facts con- cerning this class of '20. In M-ay, 1916, the students that now compose this Junior class were handed their diplomas that entitled them to enter high school. We were told on good authority that we were the be-st looking pupils and had the greatest opportuni- ties of any class that had ever graduated from the eighth grade schools of the county. The following September we enrolled at M. C. H. S. The Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors joyfully welcomed us and proclaimed that we had great prospects of becoming as great a class as they Were. Of course we knew that we were as great as they but also we knew we were even greater. We at once plunged into the school activities. In our first year at M. C. H.S. we had mem- bers from our class represent us in both football and basketball. We worked hard on our lessons and found that they had no terrors for us. Our first year flew by and we found that only a few had fallen by the wayside. Sophomore, a very big word. And when one reaches this stage he feels like all his troubles are past, but alas, it is not so. We are always being hag- gled at by the Freshmen who want to know where such and such a room is or what the prices of chapel seats are. Several of these Freshmen wanted to know where Mr. Burf1eld's class of Scrubology was. These Freshmen are most stupid creatures. I know we did not act as they do. In our Sophomore year we con- tinued to keep our place in athletics and other school activities. We mastered Caesar, rushed through English like a hurricane, knew more about Geometry than the man who wrote it and were able to tell everything that was in the history and more too. This year was indeed a great success for us. Juniors! 'One of the greatest words in the dictionary. Were it not for the Juniors what would M. C.iH. S. do for Seniors? We have in our class several of the most prominent persons that have entered M. C. H. S. We are represented in all the school organizations. What class has the most powerful men on the football team? W'hat would the basketball team be without the Junior members on it? What would the Y. M., Y. W., Boys and Girls Glee Clubs be without the Juniors! The Juniors are really the live wires of the school because the Freshies and Sophs are not well enough trained yet to lead the school and the Seniors just sit back and think of the past and dream of the future. Just think and dream, mostly dream. As a graduating class next year we will make M. C. H. S. famous. The year 1920 will go down in history. Not only as the third centennial of the landing illll or A- -ss ssc, 42 Class Roll Q N Q O fi ORPiNGsEAEDBL-7L?CKl 191 of the Pilgrims, you know, but also the year in which one of the greatest of all classes has been turned out. We, the Juniors, hope that we have not left the impression that we are try- ing to brag. We do not wish the other classes to become sore at us because of this article. Still, these are only a few of the many interesting facts about the class of 1920. We promise the Seniors that we shall try to treat them in a way that no other senior class has ever been treated.

However, that meaning does not apply to our class. When we were Freshmen our class was small. This was due to the fact that no Freshmen were admitted from the city schools, all of them coming from the country. But this year the Sophomores from the city schools enrolled, mak- ing our class the largest in M. C. HJS. During the year we have encountered many difficulties, the first and great- est one being the Hu . We had just begun well when the flu came and with it the closing ban. After being closed several weeks, school opened again only to close in three weeks. On the first of January we started anew and have continued without interruption. A few of our number became discouraged and dropped out, but a large majority continued bravely on. We made up work cheer- fully and growled not at all when asked to attend school on Saturdays. Although We had no official class motto we endeavored to live up to the following Labor oinnia oincit . Geometry comes next in our list of obstacles. We had two excellent instruct- ers, Miss Parker and Mr. Henry, but at first we just couldn't understand it. After the second month, however, we began to see through it and we felt like singing- The morning light is breaking, The darkness disappears. In History we became slightly acquainted with Charlemagne, King Alfred, Louis XIV, Peter the Great, Cromwell, and a number of other men. Mr. Allen and Miss Appleby were our instructors. I With Miss Dyer patiently leading us, we followed Caesar through his cam- paigns. Why didf he go on his Gallic War, anyway? Last, but not least, comes English under Miss Stevens. If all the themes and book reports we handed in were put in a pile, I believe they would fill the auditorium. And th-ose oral themes! If some of us do not become great speak- ers it will not be because we have not practiced. Now, don't get the idea that all we do is study. Three members of the class were in orchestra, several were in the Glee Clubs, others went out for Football and Basketball and a large number belong to the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. socie- ties. Six members of the class were in the operetta 'O'Hara San . I hope that this short review of the past year's work will convince all, even the sceptical, that our achievements are not what our name implies.

She made a pretty picture as she sat there with a reminiscent smile on her lips, and the dark chair forming a back ground for her white hair. Light footsteps were heard in the hall. The door burst open, and in rushed a pretty girl of about sixteen years. Oh, Grandma! Were you ever a Freshie? she asked, despairingly. I know, I'1l soon be a Sophomore, but that doesn't make it any easier now. Tho-se Seniors are so haughty, and the Sophomores are so overbearing, and the Juniors I!! Yes, dearieg I was a Freshman, once. That was-let me see-sixty years ago-in 1918 and 1919. But I guess the Seniors, and Juniors, and Sophomores haven't changed much since then. Mary scented a story, so she drew her chair a little closer to 'her grand- mother's, and leaned forward, expectantly. The first morning, when my girl friend and I went up the wide walk leading to the big, imposing high school, my knees shook so hard' I could scarcely walk. The office and hall were full and running over with Freshmen. They looked about as scared as I was. We finally got settled in our various class- rooms, and, oh, what sighs the teachers did heave. Many of us had joined the Y. W. or Y. M. C. A. inside of two weeks. It wasn't long till we had a football game. Oh, how the Freshmen did yell for their new school. Then there followed other football games, and basketball games. All this time there had been many bloody battles in France. Many of the homes in our county had gold stars on their service flags. Then a terrible dis- ease sprang up. No one could find a cure for it, and there were many people dying from it. It was called Spanish Influenza. Schools, picture shows, dance halls, and churches were closed. All gatherings of more than twenty people were prohibited. But you have read of all this in your histories. The schools, as I said, had to be closed. That was the last of October. They were closed three weeks. During this time many things had been happening. The Allies had the Germans so badly cornered that they had to surrender. The Armistice was signed November 11th, and when we heard of it we certainly had a glorious time. Everybody who didn't have the flu was up town, and everybody was making as much noise as possible. Every car had sheet iron or tin tied on the back-anything to make a noise. People d'idn't ride around in aeroplanes, then, my dear. CAnd1I am scared' to death every time I get into one nowl. They were used in the war, however. School opened up again but the flu got so bad that it had to close once more, the latter part of November. This time, it was closed until the first of January. When it opened up again, we had to make up the time we had lo-st, 71 ll e -T Jef--s 35 J-2. - - - -0' 48 0 0 0 i ff ,E in some way, so we had school every other Saturday, and didn't have chapel, except on Mondays. In February came the finals. We Freshmen had a hard, hard time. But most of us got through, and many who didn't, were passed on condition. The second term was a little better. A few of the Seniors and Juniors would condescend to notice us once in a while. But the Sophomores just kept on laughing at our boneheads. Our soldier boys came home, a few at a time, and in May, the Thirty- fifth Division came home. My! How we did celebrate then. It was as bad as the day the Armistice was signed. We had many good times when spring came, and when our Freshman year drew to an end, we had shown people that Freshmen could change color. In other words, we were green no longer. The old lady paused, and glanced at Mary. She was sitting there listening breathlessly. Can you guess where all this happened? asked the grandmother. Mary shook her head. 'tWell, it was right here in Independence, Montgomery County High School. Now what do you think of that? Oh, Grandma, was it? Gee! I wish I could have lived in those days. But the old lady only smiled. -HELEN RUDROW,'22. Freshman Address Nine months ago Montgomery County brought forth the best freshman class of its history, conceived in quality, and dedicated to the proposition that all freshmen should become sophomores. Now we are engaged in the battles of Algebra, Latin, English and History, testing whether we flunk or not. We are met by hard questions in those battles. We have come to dedicate the best of our knowledge in order that we may maintain our high standing. It is alto- gether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we can- not dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave freshmen who passed here have consecrated it far above the poor power of any other class to add or detract. This high school will little note, or long remem- ber what other classes have said. But it never can forget what we freshmen did here. It is for us, the freshmen, to go on and become the best senior class this high school has ever known. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before usg that from these honored teachers we take increased devotion to that cause, for which they gave the last, full measure of timeg that we here resolve that the freshmen here have not lived in vain, and that under the instruction of the teachers, shall have a new birth of knowledge, and that high school of the freshmen, by the freshmen and for the freshmen shall not perish from the county. -FREDA DUNBAIV22- i ' -fri E iq- 'ZF K ' f g 49 4' . x w tiff ?

Miss Appleby has also improved their taste for good literature and many who used to delight in detective stories and the Cosmopolitan can now read essays on Dogs and Cats and The Weather without a quiver. In February the class had a picnic at Table Mound, holding class out in the open. Everyone came home enthusiastic over the simple life and ready to do it again at the first opportunity. Several members of the class gave interesting readings in Chapel but the class' crowning effort was an amusing farce-comedy, The Hoodoo which kept the audience laughing heartily most of the time. The principal character, or rather the thing around which the play was centered, was an Egyptian Scarab in the form of a scarf pin, which proved a hoodoo to all who wore it, and suc- ceeded in getting them into many embarrassing situations. In spite of the pres- ence of a burglar, an actress who tries to sue the bride-groom-to-be for breach of promise, a supposedly untrue husband, two bank failures, and the heart- breaker finding himself seriously involved with tlhree girls at once, it all ends happily. The play was staged in three weeks and Miss Appleby certainly de- serves a great deal of credit for her successful work. , -KATHERINE WARREN, '19. Y. W. C. A. 1918-19 FRIENDS AND FELLOWS: On behalf of the Y. W. C. A., I wish to inform you of the death of the Old Cabinet and the birth of the New. I was asked by friends of the deceased to make the funeral oration. The Old Cabinet was born in March of 1918. They say the good die young. I guess that's right as our beloved Cabinet lived only a year. They died March 18, 1919, and the New Cabinet took their place. You all do know this Cabinet and the Work that they and their friends, and the other members have accom- plished. In remembrance of them we will try to recall the good things they have done and not their mistakes. Remember the candy sales they had, and with the money thus made gave us hikes and parties. The joint Y. W. and Y. M. hike is pleasant to recall. Remember the Weenies and marshmallows. Its enough to make your mouth water to think of them. Oh! That St. Patrick's party! Wasn't it enough to endear the late cabinet to us, even if they had never done another thing. But wait! We must not forget those devotional meetings. Is it any won- der we hold tight to the memories of our dear 'deceased friends. I might say, Cheer up, friends, the worst is yet to come, but I won't, as we are hoping for and expecting the best. Anyway we must brace up and greet our new friends. -MARY BATY, '20. n- - 'S-'Cf-Q ifk--'FA - ,cg 51 . 0RA13TGElmBLP.:9Kl19 . Y. W. C. A.

Since that time there has never been a year but there has been a live buncfh of boys working for the success and reaping the benefits of the movement. And we feel we have added another victory to the long line of victories, this year, if at least one of our meetings some word has been spoken that bettered' the life of some young man. At each of our meetings generally held on Tuesday evening a lesson of some kind is taught. On several occasions We were favored by talks by prominent XIII!

Another point espeically worth mention was our leadership by members, it helped greatly to stimulate the interest and many interesting discussions were entered into at these times. At the first of the term together with the Y. W. we staged a joint picnic which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Another feature was our Stunt Night at which various members were called upon to demonstrate their various abilities. Performances suclh as these along with Our hOur's play in the gymnasium helped to make our Y. M. a success. All the members wish to thank Mr. Andrews for his splendid service as our faculty advisor, in which place he showed great ability and faithfulness and was always a good Oouncilor. Neither will we forget the work of our president, Marlin Reppert, whom all the boys admire. The Y. M. C.

C. H. S. One could easily imagine himself really in Japan while marveling at the sightsg Japanese lanterns, wis- teria and cherry blossoms and the gayly costumed Japanese maids and the more somber clad men. The leading parts of the Operetta had been very efficiently chosen and had been worked out with much skill. Ethel Carroll who took the part of O'Hara San, did her work very effectively and everyone was impressed with the facility with which she showed the change of mood from a brokenhearted maiden to that of ia bride-to-be. The part of O'Kasha Kintara, a young student in love with O'Hara San, was played very well by Virgil Stewart. As a lover he was unequaled. The part of Kaneyo, father of O,Hara San, was played by Wallace Brann and one gained a good impression of the stern Japanese father. May Witcher, as O'Toyo San the mother of O'Hara San, showed well the meek and almost servile attitude of the Japanese wife toward her husband. Prince Nashimoto Tushim, the part of the disappointed lover, was played by Clair Goodell. 'Clair makes quite an insistent lover. Halcyon Evans, as O'Toko San, chief of the maids, did some very splendid work, while the part of Tokiati, as a go-between for weddings keen was ably taken by Hugh Brown. Mrs. Hal Andrews was accompanist, while the high school orchestra did some splendid playing. A special dancing number was given by Miss Mary Walker who interpreted The Japanese D-anCiHg Doll . Miss Walker appeared in oriental costume imported by Mrs. F. L. Sawyer. Much credit for the success of this operetta is to be given to Miss Evans and to Miss Appleby. It will long be remembered as one of the finest entertain- ments ever given in M. C. H. S. -MARJORIE FA1RLE1GH,'19. 55 , ORAgGEANDELPiCKi19 .

The Girl's Glee Club has given us good numbers in chapel and on many special occasions. This Glee Club is composed of girls with natural ability. Each year a cantata has been given and this year's number was the Jap- anese Operetta O'Hara San . It was given at the high school. It's characters showed the thorough training given by Miss Evans and Miss Appleby. Ethel Carroll did splendid solo work, her voice seemingly, as strong at the end as in the beginning of the number. Messrs. Brann, Brown and Goodell sang Well also and deserve special mention. The success of any department is largely dependent upon the ability of it's supervisor, so to Miss Evans is due much praise for the excellent work of our music department. She has endeavored always to give us the best both in com- position and rendition, and the department of music is one of the strongest in M. C.H.

The flu,' has had the same effect upon the work of the Glee Club that it has 'had on other activities of the school, but in spite of the fact that it has been hard to find a time at which some member of the organization was not sick, the boys have done some very excellent Work. Then again, chapel coming so seldom, little opportunity was given to display their powers. However, when they got the chance to show what they could do they completely delighted their audiences. The Club is composed of fourteen members and they entered into their work with as much enthusiasm as if there were twice that number. They have done great things this year and with the nucleus of such an excellent Glee Club for next year we expect to hear great things from them. We are sorry to lose so many of our splendid and congenial group of sing- ers, but we feel sure that the school has many more just as good who may be persuaded to join next year and show us what real singing is. -EUGENE PENNINGTON, '19, FIRST TENORS SECOND TENORS FIRST BASS SECOND BASS Owen Smith Brann Green Tharp Sneed Goodell Caudry Andrews Stewart Pinkston Brown Ober Pennington ,i KY ' O!-v , ,- 15 Y Jx-A - A X 3- ' 4 AY - Y lg 57 ORCHESTRA Pennington Knox Callahan Evans Braun Brown Pinkxston Sneed Cher Wit erguson F HH Li 3.58 C 611 OW 0IiPiNGEAEDBL3+CKQ19 mfffif M. C. H. S. Crchestra Our Orchestra was greatly strengthened this year by the arrival of new talent from the city schools. Among the new members we have Miss Lillian Case, who is an extra fine violinist. Later in the year Eugene Pennington took up the Bass Viol which added considerable strength and volume to our orches- tra. Owing to several breaks in the school in the forepart of the year because of the Hu epidemic, the orchestra along with all other departments of the school was greatly haHdiC9fDD90l- We have a Splendid orchestra despite the difficulties and on several occasions we have played in chapel and furnished music for other special occasions. On the occasion of the Operetta O'Hara San splendid musical talent was displayed by the orchestra in the opening overture. Our orchestra is composed of seven violins, one clarinet, one saxaphone, one trombone, a bass viol and trap drums, making a total of twelve pieces. The Orchestra next year will be hindered a little on account of seven mem- bers graduating this year, but we hope that new talent will arrive and take the opportunity to enjoy this splendid department. The Music Department, especially the Orchestra, is one of the chief attrac- tions of the Montgomery County High School. lts capable instructor Miss Evans, has an untiring interest in each a.nd every student with whom she is associated. -CLEO SNEED, '19, Music The department of Music.. You have heard its noises from its lower loca- tion in the east end of the first floor to the loftiest heights of the belfry. And such noises! lt may be the orchestra tuning up, it may be the Boys' Glee Club singing Tim Rooney's at the Fightin', it maybe the Girls' Glee Club practic- ing, or still worse it may be a voice or piano pupil singing ahs or playing Hanon exercises. It's this department that not only gets but gives, for how oft do we hear one of its organizations in chapel or before a lecture course number, or during the banquet of the rural teachers. Wherever it may be, it is always a much appreciated addition to any program. Students are noted for their faithfulness., If they aren't faithful this is no place for them, for Miss Evans, the music teacher, gets results and one reason for it is because she insists on regularity of attendance at all rehearsals. This year the members of various organizations have been unusually faith- ful and as a result of that and the especially good talent of its members, has the department been able to attain the success of this year. The music of the school offers unusual opportunity for those who partici- pate in it. Next year there will be the usual class in sight singing, musical history, theory, and during the second semester Miss Evans expects to have a class in music appreciation. We know of no high school that offers more opportunity for an all round musical education than does ours, and we are proud of the music in our school. - 0 GEm BLAQKN1Q -Y Y- -,-.3 . ' .

Athletics is a much abused term. Unfortunately linked to its common meaning is an idea of pugnacity, brute strength and brainless muscles. Ath- letics in its true meaning is a series of developments of mental control over the physical. Its real object is to teach quick and accurate decisions and to give clear vision and perfect self-control. In this strenuous age we need not develop men to handle other men, but we need rather to have men of self-control, men who can handle themselves. In M. C. H. S. we follow, as best We can, those things that stand out as ideals and models. We do not aim to worship the score book, although we like to win as well as anyone, and we can lose better than the majority of schools. Athletics this year has had many handicaps. In the first place we were unable to obtain a coach to instruct in the diiierent phases of athletics. No coach, no place to play, out half of a term on account of flu , you can't expect much. Now can you? We are not discouraged however. By the kind assist- ance of Mr. Andrews, Mr. Allen, Martin Schoenfeldt, and Miss Reppert we have managed to keep up some pep. We have had hard luck but we are looking forward to the future. The material for champion teams is here in the school, and with a physical instructor next year, we will make all the former good records look poor. 1?- Lr 0 I 1X jif-x Y-57-'fi' E Ill' .1-'ZF -, zx , , L f Y , - .Y .mf - Q Y- Y- Y 61 N il GEANDgl3LPgCpK A Football Football didn't amount to much this year. Only one game was played, which we lost to Sedan. Score 19 to 7. We were very blue when we went to chapel to hear the discussion of the defeat but Mr. Allen, who accompanied the boys to Sedan, cheered us before we left. We were thankful that the boys came back alive after hearing about the frightening yelps of those wild cowboys, and of the odd looking specimens of humanity that peered thru the cracks of the fence.

Now I'm not supposed to know anything about fooball-a supposition entirely in harmony with the truthg ,but lI went along to Show the boys the way down and back, especially back. Well, we got down there all right. There was a big crowd of folks put there to see us. I guess they were suprised to see so many ., ak - fx: .1 ' af 62 if f GE3?BL5CKf19. strangers at once. You know Sedan is away off in the woods and hills of Chau- tauqua county and they seldom see more than one or two fellows, whom they don't know, at a time. Funny folks, they are, those that live down there. Wild look-ing lot. They played ball out on a sort of cattle ranch. The ground was plateau like, at one end anyway, at one end was a high level place, then about the middle there was a break, a sort of ledge of rock, and then the ground sloped off rapidly down into a draw, and I was afraid every time one of our boys ran off down that hill that some of those wild fellows would catch him and carry him off into the hills. I could see them as they would approach the high fence, surrounding the ground. I suppose this fence was built there on purpose to keep them out of the grounds. First, I could see a pair of shining eyes loking thru a crack in the fence, then a head would slip thru, then a scared wild looking fellow would come slipping thru and the first thing I knew he would be lost in the crowd. Well, we got to playing after a while, but they didnit treat our boys a bit nice. When one of our boys would get the ball some of those rude fellows would bother him so much that he would drop it. When the Sedaners got the ball and ran with it our boys just ran along behind to watch them, they never did bother the Dan fellows at all, but when one of our boys got the ball and wanted to play with it a while those rude fellows would run and jump right on top of him and like as not make him drop the ball and then snatch it up and run of with it himself just as hard as he could go. Nasty fellows! Well, there was a lot of excitement. I got mad one time, and wanted to just go out on the ground and thump one big rude fellow, and I would have done so too if it had not been contrary to the rules of the game. The boys on both sides were all lined up, their fingers on the ground, and Stewart, he got up a little spoony like to one of those fellows-you know Stewart is a little inclined that 'way anyway-and that big fellow he tried to nudge him over a little, and socked his elbow right into Stewart's eye. Well, that put Stewart out of business. Then there was a lot of excitement around the outside of the ring too. I saw a lot of those Sedaners gathered around some of our folks. I couldn't see any cause for it, unless they were looking at the bright new Moon. Well, it was a great game, and lots of fun, and everyone that didn't go to see it will be sorry until the day of his doom that 'he missed it. R. ALLEN.

Only once before this has there been a team organized to compete with other high schools. Although not enough interest Was displayed to hold a tennis tournament last Fall, a few of the most interested in this sport got together this Spring and oganized a team. The team is composed of four players: Cleo!Sneed, Eric Ergenbright, Leonard Root and Shreve Caudry. Sneed is the veteran player of M. C. H. S. and was elected captain of the team. The record of the games has been prohibited by the early publication of the Annual. All the players are experienced and their best efforts will be put forth to uphold the honor of Old M. C. H. S.

Like the mill of the gods , the great wheel of education, the Montgomery County High School, has for the past twenty years been turning out students who have completed their high school curriculum, slowly but exceedingly fine . Upon leaving the institution the graduates have gone into every walk of life. They can be found as scientific laborers, oil men, clerks, steographers, ministers, lawyers, teachers, statesmen, and last, but not least, soldiers. The Alumni are proud of their list of soldiers. No other high school can show a greater number of soldiers in the service according to size of school, and, what is far more pleasing to our pride is the fact that in the Army as well as in civil life, the M. C. H. S. graduates advanced rapidly and made won- derful records for efficiency. Q And what caused this great record? In the final analysis, the answer is found in the instructor and esprit de corps of the faculty and student body. A great cause must have great leaders, whether in public service or military life. The M. 'C. H. S. not only has had an excellent faculty ever since its organization but it has had a wonderful leader. Sometimes it happens in school life under the stress of local little troubles that the students become angry at the principal for compelling strict discipline, but, as the years roll on and the student leaves his beloved Alma Mater for his work in life, his perspective is enlarged and his mind broadened, he sees in Prof. S. M. Nees the inspiration for clean living and the very symbol itself of the value of a thorough education. It is for these reasons that the Alumni not only respect and love Mr. Nees but his connection with the school has increased the devotion and loyalty of the Alumni to the Montgomery County High School. Let us, then, as students and Alumni, continue to uphold the splendid tra- dition of the school by faithfully carrying out the moral precepts and instruc- tion taught us by the loyal faculty and great leader of the Montgomery County High School. -THURMAN HILL, M.c.H.s., '09. The Department of Expression Miss Appleby has made this one of the most interesting and enjoyable departments in the school work. The class in Expression is a half year study while the one in Oral English lasts through the year. It is during the last semester that dramatic work is taken up. The class derives much benefit from this work and the appreciative audience which witnessed its recent play served as an encouragement for bigger dramatic ventures. 'il- 'H .le - P A e 69 1 i i l iw- I l ORKSGEMHELZEQK 19 . The attitude of the students toward their work in this department is illus- trated in the following list of their combined opinions: THINGS WORTH WHILE! Appreciation of good literature Appreciation .....e si.... p lays Familiarity with great writers and their works Ability to appear in public without disgracing ourselves Learning to analyze plays, stories, poems, etc. Increased vocabulary 'Correct pronunciation Hikes to Table Mound Friendships formed in the class. DRUDGERIES Z 'Outside book-reports Most memory verses Compulsory study of Whitman. English Department ' In spite of influenza interruptions the English department can show many interesting features this year. In all the classes some form of special empha- sis has been laid upon spelling. Miss Ingleman's classes have earned many an extra five per cent as a contest prize for prefect spelling. Miss Stevens', too, has frequent stunts of like nature and even the dignified Seniors of English VIII under Miss Paterson, have been turningtheir attention to the ever useful spell- ing book under her guarantee that no word would be assigned except such as they would find frequent occasion to use. A Miss Stevens' classes have been organized with a view to special practice in parliamentary usage, and are at present making stump speeches. Their well , why and what contests show a queer curve on the blackboard record. Jun- ior English V and VI are hitting the high places in the History of English and American Literature, but they are hitting them hard. An interesting set of acrostics on the words' 'fGood English , and another set of diagrams of Shakes- peare's theatre are among the year's trophies. English VIII students have learned how to make a public speech, how to brief a debate and have just fin- ished a tussle with prosody. One lovely thing about English is this: No matter how much you study it there is always something more you can learn. Semper discipulif' Latin We have often been accused of being ccliemttct mente Cbereft of reasonl because we study Latin. Now briefly let us defend ourselves. The necessity of Latin for English cannot be overrated. I wonder how many of us realize that the English language is about three-fifths Latin. No one who has studied Latin, even ia few months, need look up the meaning of such words as coercion, visualize, and hundreds of others. . '- a T Art'-Yi? QW -P-,ji if ...o- 70 S ooo A Q ORPgNGEA1jDBLZ?CKA19wA g The teaching of history through Latin literature is very important. Caesar is a great name in history. What an insight we get into Caeesar's character if we read Caesar's own narrative. But some one will say: What is the use in studying Latin? I shall never use it in later life. The best way to develop the brain is to use it and you un- doubtedly use it in the study of Latin. The concentration required for the trans- latingg the study needed to find the meaningg the drill of the memory are helps which will be useful long after we have forgotten what his rebus intellectis Caesar orationem habuitn means. We must admit that Latin is not a snap . You who are looking for easy courses please note: The harder the task the greater the success when mastery is achieved. Pax Vobiscum there, as you study Latin and remember that the day will come when you will be glad that you devoted those hours to the study of Caesar. French . Cwing to the efforts of one W. Hohenzollern, many American high schools once oiered German. What a bit of poetic justice that French has so com- pletely taken its place. But it is not justice alone, we must know what they mean--the boys from over there -when they say Je vous aime beaucoupf' There! I've given away the fact that a girl is writing this, haven't I? The French language speaks for itself. fWould that it spoke itself, with- out so much effort on our partj. But the time is well spent in learning the language, and thru it, the thoughts, customs, the life of a people, who in war have won the world's -admiration and who in peace have lessons for us in the gentler art of living. As to the course offered in M. C. H. S., some features deserve special men- tion. The monotony of grammar study is relieved by the use of an easy reader. At least the title means that when translated. Conversation and dramatization, give practice in speaking, while French records aid in improving pronunciation. Spanish Buenos dias, amigos . Ah, you do not speak Spanish. Then you have missed something both enjoyable and profitable. Last year, every one wanted to Uparlez vous francais , but students are now beginning to see the practical value of Spanish. It is indeed a living language, and M. C. H. S., realizing that its alumni will be in great demand in our dealings with our Spanish speaking neigh- bors, and our own Southwest, has done well to introduce the subject. And on the cultural side+anyone who has read' Don Quixote in English, must look for- ward to reading it in the original. The motto of the Spanish Class is Learn Spanish by speaking it. Conse- quently, conversations, questions and answers, and drarnatization are -an import- ant part of the work. The gratifying result is that we are able to speak some Spanish. 1-' ..--fe -f,-L---4- JT- ' A' F A C' C 71 il vi i i 0RAN'GEANDBLACKN1Q -Q. ggi Y :JY L' - - 1. . History The teacher of history has had, within the past few years, new duties and new opportunities as well. The great war, the struggles of the peace conference, the great political and social unrest have all helped to give to history, civics and economics new and important meanings. The teachers have endeavored so to use these opportunities as to make the need of knowledge in these subjects the better understood and appreciated. The proposed League of Nations has been the occasion for no small amount of study and research. It has given rise to more interesting and intensive study of the Monroe Doctrineg the study of the Monroe Doctrine has made it necessary to study other Leagues of Nations of the past. The close association of the United States with the allied nations has made more vital and interesting the study of their history. History has a real meaning and a vital use to the people of today. It has its lessons not only for the statesman and the scholar, but for the artisan and tradesman as well. The student of history not only knows the past but is the more able to judge the present and to forecast the future. Domestic Science Cakes, salads and whipped cream desserts. Yum, Yum, doesn't that sound good? Is that all one learns in domestic science, how to turn a cream whip? This idea may have been the first plan of a course in cooking. Today, a strictly scientific attitude is taken, which means, that the whys and whereforesn are considered in biscuits, that are hard as rocks. This Work offers plenty of oppor- tunity for the psychological term reasoning as well as that of 'tmemoryf' In two years' time, a person cannot expect to learn or master all the problems of home economics but a general course is odered, showing the relation of one phase to another, and correlating the practical with the theoretical. The first year's work deals with the composition of foods, the principles of food cookery and the practical applications. Knowledge derived from the first year's work is put into actual practice by the serving of meals. Lunches are served to faculty members. This also teaches menu making, balanced diets, as well as the costs and economics of marketing. Other related home problems of home architecture and interior decoration are studied. The domestic science classes serve all the school functions of dinners and banquets in connection with the regular work. Domestic Art People have discovered that making and ordering a home is a real profession and that as such it calls for careful training just as other vocations. As a con- sequence the welfare of girls is being considered in M. 'C.iH. iS., by giving them the advantage of a course in Domestic Art, including sewing, dressmaking, tex- tiles, millinery, etc. O Kllus ll i Y, A . r fret-ef: s T j l 72 ,.... X ooo O13PtNGEAEDBL3i'+CK-19,,. r School sewing in the past meant the making of models , now the girls are interested in articles of real value. Domestic Art has broadened and includes not only practical training in the making of clothes, but also skill in buying, taste and judgment in choosing hygienic clothing, clothing the most suitable for various occasions, the best at the least expense, color harmonies and combina- tions and costume design. Connecting the school and home are lessons in mak- ing of simple, useful, and effective articles for the home. In making clothing for war orphans, clothing for children has been an interesting problem. The aim is to make the girls capable, efficient, and ready to bear their share in the world's work in an intelligent way. Manual Training The time in the Manual Training Department has been divided equally between mechanical drawing and woodwork, studying each subject on alternate weeks, and it is the aim that each pupil shall spend from two to four weeks of his woodwork periods, working on school projects, such as repairing chairs and other furniture, making stage scenery, and making new parts and equipment for the shop. Each pupil has been allowed to make for himself whatever he desires, as there is no set series of projects, or groups of projects, that must be made in consecutive order, but each one must make a complete working drawing of the project that he desires to make for himself, before he can begin work on that project. Later, these working drawings are all traced and blueprinted by the pupils, one copy of each blueprint being retained and placed on file in the shop for future reference. The ability to use hand tools, rather than machines has been emphasized, and a corresponding decrease in the productions of the shop is one of the results. Among the articles made during the year were, bookracks, magazine stands, drawing boards, toolchest, footstools, library tables, floor lamps, clothes press, music cabinet, writingdesk, porchswing, a sewing cabinet, and a number of small projects by those taking wood-turning. In the Mechanical Drawing, the work has involved a study of the principles of projections, developments, and intersections along with the making of work- ing and detail drawings, and isometric views. Commercial Department Are you planning to be a Banker, a Merchant, a Farmer, a Bookkeeper, or any other of the numerous life actives? lSure! you say. Well, then, a thoro business training is the first essential to success. Agreed, you say. But, where and how, you ask. In the Commercial Department of the M. C. H. S. How,'?

This prepares one for the choice positions in bookkeeping. Also, Commer- cial Ceography, Commercial Law, and practice in correct construction of legal papers are given due consideration. Come, be one among us, and qualify your- self for a higher plane in life. Stenography The intensely practical value of shorthand in the work of the world, has so completely overshadowed its disciplinary and cultural value that its advantages are rarely considered. - Transcribing the shorthand notes on the typewriter is a phase of the work that has an important educational advantage, training the judgment, the pow ers of perception and analyzation. Shorthand reporting holds a very important place in the English language. It compels a study of the grammatical and rhetorical phases of language that could hardly be so easily acquired in any other way. It is to the student of English what a course in dissection is to the medical student. It is safe to say that shorthand has been one of the greatest factors in the expansion of the American commerce for through its aid as a means in corres- pondence the American business man gets business wherever the United States mail reaches. In Office Training the student becomes familiar with different methods of handling incoming and outgoing mail, different systems of filing, office routine, and has actual practice in transcribing letters from shorthand notes. Last but not least, our department has received six new Underwood type- writers. We now have President Wilson's lucky number , thirteen machines, five Royals, and eight Underwoods. Mathematics In or-der to live successfully in a world consisting largely of material things it is necessary to consider and to understand the relations between these things, particularly their relations as regards quantity, locality, direction, and time. We need to study something of the qualitative relations of material things also, but this study belongs to other sciences, such as physics and chemistry-mathemat- ical sciences. To begin with, Astronomy, a science popularly associated with incipient stages in love making is in reality mathematical science by means of which all our time relations are determined. Without this most noble and exact of all sciences we could not make concerted arrangements with each other. Modern transportation would be impossible and the world would drop back into the chaos of the middle ages. Next, consider mathematical geography. This is the science whose business . Asha, Q ,.,fQt 74 012ANGEA?5PBL?+CKf19fs..E?f . - v- -- V, . it is to locate all important places on the earth with reference to a system of lines called parallels and meridians. By this conventionality, boundaries may be defined and recognized by all men. Navigation becomes possible and help can be rendered ships in distress. In a similar way, by means of surveying, a mathematical science resting upon trigonometry, more minute lines are run, dividing our lands into town- ships and ranges, sections, and fractional sections. Without this science the institution of private property would be impossible and peace and order would vanish. Without mathematics man is not the master of nature but its slave. Indeed, without mathematics, physical science is impossible in its deeper and more pow- erful reaches. Even the modern warmaker is helpless without it. Music and art designing rest upon it. What would Heaven be without the music of the spheres? God himself geometrizes continually, said Plato, and those who study geometry think the thoughts of God after him. Well might Pythagoras, the great philosopher, write over the door of his famous school: Let no one ignorant of mathematics enter here . Physical Sciences Which is the easier, Chemistry or Physics? Oh! I just wanted to know, I thought I would take one and I wanted the easiest onef' What do you do in Chemistry? Will it ever do me any good ? We find out a great deal about the things that compose the more common compounds. We experiment a great deal, make many pretty colors, and awful, smelling old gases, and have lots of trouble trying to find what is in unknowns. Several interesting theories are written by the wholesale. Sure it will do you good. Do you know the chemicals in your food? What happens when you burn gas, wood, or coal? Why you use washing powders in hard water? Also many laboratories are continually wanting chemists at refin eries, milk, and all kind of industrial plants. Gee! That sounds good for chem- istry, what about physics? Its awful, it's hard, it sure takes a smart guy to get by in it. Of course you do not care much about engines and how they work, and electricity is too dangerous. But then do you know the difference between noise and music? Why certain notes on the piano give chords, how phonographs work? Maybe you get peeved when your 'phone does not work, what is the matter with it? Many applications of physics could be mentioned as the heating of water, strength of materials, tensil strength-in fact they are so common we have not noticed them. Biology In September you hear, Why must we take Botany? or It looks like fool- ishness. At the end of the eighth month we hear a new song, for Botany is recognized as a human interest subject. Plants are living things, and we realize as never before the intimate relation between our own existence and theirs. So 3- 75 Q 0R55GEmBLP:9Ki19 . . we become somewhat acquainted with our neighbors, and pleasure is derived, after all, from Botany study. Agriculture! Taught in a school room? Yes, just as any other science. The year is filled with work. Especially do classes study principles and essentials, the common crops of the West, dairy cattle and dairying, and beef cattle. At the Shorthorn show, April 3d, Merl Farlow, Marion Koyl, Carl Brandes, Walter Brandes, took part in stock judging, winning as a team, the third prize, 35.00. Our pupils judged from the breeder's viewpoint, but the decision was given rather from that of the butcher. However, the boys felt well repaid for their efforts. Later ia Dairy Cow Judging Contest was held under the direction of the Farm Bureau, Professor Peterson of Manhattan, being the judge. In this contest Viola Karnes won first and Hazel Pittman second prize. Several schools sent representatives and in all about twenty students contested. Some especially fine cows were shown, and the pupils enjoyed the experience hugely. Whatever the line followed, we try to understand better the relation of Ag- riculture to all other occupations of man. Library, Study Hour The student needs no introduction to the school library for the lure of the library is felt from eight o'clock until four and often later. It is somet-hing more than a collection of books and has an important place in the work of all departments, being a reservoir, from which the student draws constantly for information. The combination of library and study room makes it possible for every student to look thru shelves of selected books, thereby creating reading tastes that will last thru life. Looking thru the best magazines and books widens the student's horizon and stimulates his interest in the big problems of the day. An attempt is made to teach students, individually, the use of the devices placed in books for their assistance-table of contents, index, appendix, vocab- ulary, maps, illustrations, footnotes, marginal notes, how to consult diction- aries, encyclopedias, atlases, and other special reference books, as well as the library catalog for material required. Many amusing incidents occur as when well known cases have to be sep- arated, cliques broken up and fervent notes intercepted. These matters of dis- cipline require some adjustment along with the various technical problems of the day's work. Faculty Favorites and Fixinsf' Nees, Favorite Song: Never a Care I Know.

A pony lasteth long, and weareth not out, a pony has no conscience, is not puffed up. Does not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not to be known, is not easily discovered, produceth no evil. Rejoiceth not in a poor recitation, but rejoiceth in a good showing. Containeth all things, explaineth all things, teacheth all things, beareth all things. ' A pony never faileth, but whether there be lectures, they shall be forgotten, whether there be notes, they shall fail, whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Then I answered without a pony, poorly, but now, such is not the caseg then I knew in partg but now I know, even as my pony knoweth.
