Therefore the tendency in Iowa today is towards pigs that will gorw sides of bacon big enough to cover the butcher’s chopping block and lap over at both ends. In 1812 Sir Robert Peel, the English Lord Secretary to Ireland, brought ba:k to his estate in the vicinity of Tamworth, Stafford County, England, some Irish Grazer pigs. He was at- tracted to them because of the leanness of the meat and the prolificacy of the sows. He and a family named Norman were the first English breeders of Tamworths. The first importation of Tamworth hogs into the United States was made by Thomas Bennett of Vermillion County, Illinois, in 1882. The first Tamworths were introduced into Canada in.1888. The farmers were quick to take advantage of the demand for high quality bacon by the English trade, and they produced the bacon hog in great numbers. M. E.

CO-OPERATION Competition refers to the way we have of striving, sometimes against one another, to get what we want. Life is made up of competition. It is a common error to speak of competition as though it were another name for war. The more people compete, and the more strenuously they compete, the better service we shall have and the better off everybody will be. There are a few people who object on principles to all forms of competition, who believe that the entire system is morally wrong. Such people should never play so mild a game as croquet, because it is a game of competition. Our idea of competition is constantly being strengthened because we live in an atmosphere of rivalry. During the entire life of man on this continent he has had to struggle in one way or another against enemies. The reason that we are here today is due to the fact that our ancestors were successful in their struggles. Com- petition is as the breath of life to our nostrils. The conflicts in business, politics, and social life tend to keep us competition-minded. Competitors in a friendly game should not be less friendly because they are competing. When the basketball team cares more for victory than for the sport, basketball becomes a game unfit for people to play. Life is made up of competition, but success in life is made up of co-operation. In the midst of all the competition that is going on there is a great deal of co-oper- ation. Co-operation, as it is generally practiced, is only a method of competing more effectively. There is co-operation among the members of an athletic team. Their teamwork consists of working together effectively, but the purpose of this co-oper- ation is to enable them to compete more effectively against the opposing team. It would be difficult to name one instance of co-operation which did not, directly or in- directly, enable the co-operators to compete more successfully than they could by working as individuals. Schools realize the importance of co-operation. Any institution cannot be successful without a certain amount of it. Our schools would soon be disrupted. Class work, athletics, music, and the school itself are exercises in co-operation. But our opportunities to co-operate are not confined within the walls of our school build- ing or the boundaries of our school grounds. We can gain much by contact with other schools. We compete with other schools in athletics and other contests. We give cheers for our team, and during the whole game we have the “fight spirit.” If we win the game, we are happy. If we lose, we should not forget our good sportsman- ship. After all it is only a game that is training us for a great work. This work is competing against enemies—hatred, selfishness, and dishonesty. ay “ COMMUNITY INTEREST The time has come for the class of nineteen hundred and thirty to face the world. They hope that their class is as successful in the big world as the preceding classes have been. Look over the past few years and see what has been done. Some of the grad- uates are teachers, some are farmers, and others are taking college work. It has BO SOOO OBR THECENTERIKA 20360220260 2EO KOK 23 THE CENTERIKA been well worth their time to finish their high school work. They would have missed many opportunities in the past, and would continue to miss them in the future had they not taken their high school course. Had it not been for the small country high school many of the young people, doubtless, never would have received a high school education. The school is an ad- vantage to both parents and students. The young people can help their parents before and after school. The expense that is connected with a high school education is much less. Then the students enjoy the atmosphere of a good home life. The interest that is taken by the community is very much appreciated; it helps to make the school a success. The students and faculty hope that this interest will not be less enthusiatic as the years pass. —Ass’t. Ed. . ©; $23 GC WHAT’S THE USE There are certain things, dry and uninteresting at times, demanding of us hard work and calling for our allegiance, though we want to give up and do some- things less tedious and less exacting. Going to school is implied in the above statement. My first achievement after I had learned to count was to be able to tell those that cared to listen, that I had only seven more years of school. But, alas, I was informed by my parents that there were higher schools of learning that I must attend. After a little oral arithmetic, I found that eight years in the grades and four in high school, totaled only twelve years. Now that I am about to leave the protec- tion of the high school, I say to myself, “What’s the use?” There is no escape, for life is a school. As we discard our books and leave the sqhool room, we have not absorbed all the knowledge in the world. Schooling has cnly pointed out the way to real and vital knowledge. Schooling has given us the fundamental factors to begin our journey, and that is all. Again I say, ‘““What’s the use?” One man has said, “What you cannot overcome, you must endure.” So, I submit myself to the forces that be, pledging myself to take the journey in search of truth and knowledge. After all, as long as there is life there are lessons to be learned. We must submit; we have no other choice. (G5 12s axe) A Oe “CY CENTER HIGH SERVES YOU Center High School presents to its community a great opportunity and a great obligation. The school is ideally located, drawing to its class rooms, young people who, due to the distance of other schools, would be deprived of a high school education. The boys and girls attending the school come from the farms of our com- munity. Center is a farm school, interested in presenting to the students, information that will be helpful in their chosen vocations. There is no mixed group oi youth from the city and the farm, with the former group receiving the greater emphasis and the latter group returning to the farms, after four years of study with an education of very little practical value. There is unity of purpose. There is no need of the students paying board, as the school is in easy riding or driving distance, and the student can be at home every night, enjoying the home life, and receiving the super- vision of his parents, at an age that he needs it. The school, one that strives to build the character, and to give to the student a faith in himself, his fellows and his Maker, is in sympathy with the work of the church, holding fine ideals of character. Center is unified in purpose to serve the community, showing to youth the value of going the second mile. What a great opportunity the school is offering to the youth of our community. It also puts upon the school a great obligation of uphold- ing the standards for the past and making forward steps in the service of youth.

We were welcomed into a new éry y school building. Even though we did act a bit green, we knew that verdancy was a : x. sign for growth. The upper classmen, realizing that they had once gone “through KY ¢y the mill,” were rather congenial. When we were Freshmen, we behaved as such. N x The Sophomore year found our number decreased by one. We now numbered KY tY seven. We already had great expectations of being the largest and best class to at Ay, eraduate from Center. During this year some of our talent was shown by compet- x ing in our first declamatory contest. pa y, During the Junior year the girls had “full swing,” since there were no boys ay Pe in the class. Our number was decreased by two, Cecil and Lois Bontrager, who W s sought knowledge in another chool. We were now beginning to plan our future Cy ’y careers. Some of us were planning to be teachers, nurses, and stenographers. We e p further displayed some of our talent by presenting the play “Always in Trouble.” We Cc} One of the most important features of this year was the banquet given in honor iY ¥ of the Seniors. y, y } At last we are Seniors. Some of our prophecies have already been fulfilled. Cy We have a great deal of work, but with the co-operation that we Seniors have, we hy. pe can do a great deal. We took part in athletics, contests, plays, and other enter- D e () tainments. We now are twelve in number. We were glad to welcome Lois and Cecil ; x Bontrager to our class again and also three new members, Mary Swartzendruber, NN, i Delmar Brenneman, and George Pennington. We will always have many happy re ( memories of the four years we spent at Center. Pee bs, oO : “ . x Ete AY ha Ye x AVE 7) CLASS PROPHECY Ny X ) x. One hot summer night in July, nineteen hundred and forty, after a heavy Y Cr) meal during which I had eaten too much oyster stew, I had a sirange dream. A Cay ? phantom airplane driven by a ghostly apparition landed on the lawa. The appariticn y. oy commanded me to take a ride. I climbed in and we were soon flying eastward. We pe () soon landed at Paris, France; we remained there for some time. I learned that the : x pilot of the airplane was Cecil Bontrager. As a pastime he was driving for the Ws Ny Paris Air Line. A od , ? One evening as we returned from a ride, we each received a letter from y, ¢r Kalona, Iowa. It was an invitation to attend the Alumni Banquet at Center High Ne ( School. It didn’t take us long to decide that we would attend it. We started on our journey next morning. When we arrived at New York we stopped for dinner. AVA CN Having become members of the idle rich, we went into the best cafeteria in the city. A; hy We immediately recognized one of the waiters as Ferne Wertz. ; Pes : e On picking up the evening paper, we saw these headlines: “New Governor a. hy Elected.” Upon reading it, we found that Delmar Brenneman had received the office. ‘ ey Ws ee We resumed our journey and arrived at Joetown the next morning.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Fourteen freshmen entered Center High Schoo] in the fall of nineteen hundred twenty-seven in an attempt to further their education. This class consisted of five girls and nine boys. Our teachers who were selected that year were Mr. and Mrs. Osborn and Mrs. Hanson. Of course we were green freshmen, but we didn’t care for all freshmen are known to be green. The next year, however, the number of members in our class. was diminished. Marvle Palmer had gone West for her health, and Lyle Yoder had also left us. Verda Gingerich was with us only the first semester. Lloyd Bender, who had been a previous member also left us, diminishing our class to the number of ten, but our loss was lessened somewhat when Earl Amelon joined us. That year we had only two teachers, namely: Mr. and Mrs. Osborn. With the help of the freshmen, we presented a Freshman-Sophomore play known as “A Perplexing Situation” which proved to be a success. ; In the year of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine and nineteen hundred and thirty, the class was enlarged to the number of eleven. Lloyd Bender again returned and joined the class of gay, young juniors. Martha Swartzendruber, who had started her high school work in Goshen College, also joined our class. Earl Amelon left us about the middle of the term. A new instructor was chosen, namely: Miss Krueger, and with the help of Mr. and Mrs. Osborn we tried to do our work well.

H. S. as Freshmen. There were six members in our class, namely: Leota Yoder, Eunice Reber, Arline Patterson, Laverna Robertson, Chase Millice, and Lois McKray. Our first teachers were Mr. and Mrs. Osborn, to whom we went with all our difficulties and problems. In the month of December we, with the assistance of the Sophomore class gave a play entitled “A Perplexing Situation” and a pantomime entitled “And the Lamp Went Out.” Soon after the beginning of the first semester we were disappointed to lose one of our classmates, Leota Yoder, who moved to Mississippi where she is now attending school. We closed the year by taking a trip to Muscatine, lowa. Vacation having ended we re-entered the doors of Center High School as Sopho- mores. We all returned with the exception of Arline Pat terson, who decided to attend Wellman Figh School. We were glad to know we were to have Marvle Palmer with us this year. Under the guidance of our teachers, Mr. Osborn, Mrs. Osborn, and Miss Krueger, we have progressed successfully. Soon after school began, Eunice Reber left us and at the end of the first semester Chase Millice moved to Wellman. Late in the fall the Freshmen and we, the Sophomores, presented the play, “Waiting for the Trolley.” 1b Wy Sey Beck Row: Left to Right—Mena Gingerich, Velma Swartzendruber, Ruth Amelon, Nadine Bontrager, Darlene Fry.

Soon the greenness and shyness wore away. Our class entered high school with thirteen members, namely: Ruth Amelon, Leland Butterbaugh, Nadine Bontrager, Harold Reber, Hilda Brenneman, Ward Mil- ler, Velma Swartzendruber, Isaiah Litwiller, Mena Gingerich, Eldon Kesselring, Harry Swartzendruber, Morris Swartzendruber, and Darlene Fry. During the first semester we had the misfortune of losing three members of the class: Isaiah Litwiller, Leland Butterbaugh, and Hilda Brenneman. At the be- ginning of the third six weeks Margaret Ihrig joined us. She moved away at the end of the first semester. We chose our class officers as follows: Presidents ics Sai ee ce ee cee Nadine Bontrager Vice President Morris Swartzendruber Secretary-Treasurer Darlene Fry In December the Freshmen and Sophomore classes presented a play entitled “Waiting for the Trolley.” A We, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-three, have resolved to make the best better.

POE OOD 3B THE CENTERIKA BeOS ee OH IK THE SILVER LINING ” “There’s a silver lining through the dark clouds shining. . Softly the sweet strains of music died away as Margaret Western closed her window gently and sat thinking a long time. Her sunny face looked troubled as she turned resolutely away and said, “I don’t believe it. There can’t be silver lining to every clovd. There isn’t to this one anyway. What will we do for a living if I cannot get a school? I don’t care for myself, but what will mother do? Oh, why does work have to be so scarce?” Her serious blue eyes filled with tears, but she hastily dried them as she heard her mother’s footsteps. She did not want her mother to know how serious matters were. “You must be tired, Margaret. You have been gone a long time, but have you found a school?” said her mother in her quiet voice. “No, mother, but don’t worry. I will find one yet; see if I don’t,” said Mar- garet as cheerfully as she could, and then added, “You know, mother, the schools are all taken near here and if I do find one I will not be able to board at home.” “It will be lonesome without you, Margaret, but we ought to be satisfied if you get a school as that will be our only source of income,” said her mother re- gretfully. Then her face brightened as she added, “I might be able to get little Joan Mitchell to stay with me.” “Fine, mother. You are always looking on the bright side,” said Margaret enthusiastically. The next morning Margaret was up early and again went in search of work. She would have enjoyed the beautiful scenery had not her heart been so heavy. That evening she came home tired and discouraged. Her mother noticed her tired look in spite of Margaret’s efforts to conceal it, and did not need to ask her whether she had found a school. “You must sit down and eat now, Margaret,” said her mother, “and forget all about your school for awhile.” Mergaret did so, but while she was enjoying her meal she was interrupted by the ring of the telephone, and went to answer. “Hello—Yes—Yes—I'll take it,” said Margaret hanging up the receiver ex- citedly, “It was Mr. White and he said that I may have Miss Lyon’s school, because she has decided to go to college. Isn’t it wonderful to have a position? There is a silver lining after all.” -@9; Ges G) GEOMETRY With apology to Shakespeare. Friends, neighbors, and classmates, give me your attention. I am going to discuss Geometry, but not to praise it. The evil that it does lives after us and the good it does is not worth mentioning. So goes it with Geometry. All the noble professors tell me that Geometry is well worth studying, but if this were true it would not cause all Sophomores so much grief. Here under the leaves of Geometry there is no rest for Geometry is a horrible book. They all say it is a horrible book. “e a £ “ DR Pe 7) CLE Ze HK —e rs, CY Ae ‘se a aS Zi, ve My ey eG ¥ - Meee YZ THE CENTERIKA Se sy . S : ee 2 — K_ DK Gladly would I speak at Geometry’s funeral for it was never a friend of mine; it was always unjust to me. Professors say we should be more ambitious, but Geometry is a horrible book. it has caused many students far to roam. When the poor students cry the professors yell, “You should be made of sterner stuff.” Oh! Yes, Geometry is a horrible book. You all have seen that on the front page I have written notes galore, yet it refuses to give me knowledge. I repeat it, friends, it is a horrible book. I speak not to disprove what the professors say, I speak to tell you what I know. You all did hate it once, not without cause for Geometry is a horrible book. I have lost all my “reasons” so I must pause till they come back to me. — Ne aS KE — —_ as = AES San Kwon, . @ . SoS Yes¥ I MEANT TO DO IT “What sweet, dear girls they are,” said Cousin Agnes looking after Dorry and Lorraine as they left the room together. “So full of sweet impulses, both of them. They heard me say that I would have trouble with my eyes until I got my glasses and they both begged to be allowed to do things for me. I was struggling to thread a needle and striking everything but the eye,” she added laughingly. An hour later, when she picked up her workbasket, it was to find a row of needles already threaded. “You darlings!” she exclaimed. “Tt was Lorraine,” said Dorry. “I meant to help, but it slipped my mind.” “Thank you so much, Lorraine,’ said Cousin Agnes warmly, “and you too, Dorry, for thinking of it.” “Well, well, who mended my gloves so beautifully?” asked their father the next morning. But his eyes turned naturally to Lorraine, who flushed with pleasure as she returned his kiss. “T love to do it,” said Lorraine. “T meant to do it,” said Dorrv quickly. “I thought I’d get right at them when you made that funny face over the holes when you took them off yesterday, but I just forgot.” “I want to thank you girls,” said Mrs. Andrews, their Sunday school teacher when she called in the afternoon, “for going to see Amy James and coaxing her back into the class. She’s such a shy little thing, and her feelings were hurt a week ago by one of the other children, and it only needed Lorraine and Dorry to follow it up and make things all smooth and nice again.” “It was Lorraine, who went to see her,” Dorry said truthfully. “I meant to go—I thought I surely would when you asked us, but somehow I forgot and Lor- raine went.” “Oh, how the little sick children will love those bright pictures!” Miss Drew exclaimed as she glanced over the neat muslin pages covered with pictures cut from old magazines. She had stopped for these gifts which had been prepared for the Children’s Hospital. “They’re lovely, Lorraine, and how many of them you have done!’ “IT meant to have some ready, too,” said Dorry. “My grandmother gave mea whole lot of old magazines to cut up for the hospital, but I just didn’t remember to get at it in time.” _“Dorry always means to do things, but it’s Lorraine who does them,” mused Cousin Agnes, when their caller had gone. “There’s a great difference between the two girls. The girl that is dependable and really does things is the one who will be a success.” Vise 2a ODEO SEO SEO DEO eS THECENTERIKA = S, a ekoee THECENTERIKA 40360220 2CRORKCKS ww = Ke 3 2F bea a 4 4 - DEDICATION . £ [4 £ £ a .

Hess ’28 Jacob F. Swartzendruber ’28 Vernon B. Bontrager ’28 EDITORIAL The Alumni Association In the spring of 1928 a group of nine members comprising the graduating class of that year met and organized the Alumni Association of Center High School, tor the purpose of upholding the spirit and traditions of their prided Alma Mater. Two successive graduating classes have since swelled the ranks of the organization to 30. It has been made the custom to meet annually at a banquet attended by the Alumni and the graduating class whose members are formally initiated into membership at this time. Thus we note another purpose of the Alumni Association as important if not more important, than the one previously mentioned: namely, main- taining the friendships of high school days. Here, once a year old friends will gather to forget their cares and responsibilities for a few hours and converse as freely as in class room days. So here’s to the Center High School Alumni Association. Long may it live! A Gym for Center High School During the past year or two there has been considerable discussion as to the feasibility of building a gymnasium for use of the students of Center High School and the community. By state law each school is required to teach at least fifty min- utes of physical training each week. This work should be done not only to comply with the state law, but also to train the physical parts of the body as well as the mental. Physical training not only exercises the muscles but also trains the mind to work accurately and quickly. Think of the time it takes many people to reach a decision. Suppose a person playing base ball or basket ball used the same time before throwing! Not only must a player think quickly but also accurately. Surely, no one would think of hindering such work. The question should be: “How much can we help?” Any one who thinks seriously at all will see that a school building where 40 pupils are working with barely enovgh room for classwork does not have sufficient room for the required work in physical training. The main question is one of funds with which to work. Why not plan a building which can be used as an auditorium in which community meetings could be held, and which could be used as an auditorium in which to have plays, basket ball games, lectures, or many other features. Such a building could be so built that it will furnish shelter for the eight or twelve automobiles which usually are on the school grounds. The income from such a project would in a number of years pay for itself besides helping our school greatly. Center High School is no longer an experiment and must be provided with the proper equipment to do her work well. Let our motto be: “A gym for Center High School.” . ©, .

THE CENTERIKA 2O3K03203% — a ALUMNI NEWS George Hess ’29 has continued his raid on A’s at Coe college. He will forsake his pursuits of knowledge and impart some of it to the pupils of Hardin No. 3 next year. Be it at Bishop’s Cafeteria or at the classroom his ready smile still has its old-time power. Mary Eash ’28 believes in diversity of occupations. Among other things she has spent some of her time in Indiana. Wherever she may be, she finds enough to keep her busy. Reflecting over bygone days is a pleasure. Ervin Eash ’29 has labored behind the counter for the past year. Judging from appearances it has agreed with him. He is employed by the Economy Grocery of Iowa City. Drop in and he will be glad to serve you. Vernon Bontrager ’28 has launched ou t into the deep. He applies the laws of falling bodies to felling trees. He also assists in other farm work, using whatever formulae are necessary for such work, Ask him about the above. Walter Marner ’29 spends his time between the roads, bed, field, and table. He thinks the roads and an occasional rest in bed make a better combination than the field and any other thing. Music (?) also has an attraction for him. Otha Jones ’28 has not yet forsaken the farm. Whenever you see Otha he is just the same being that he was in the days when peppermint and wicked eggs stuffed with cotton were known at Center High. Seth Eimen ’29 withstood the threats and dangers of one year of teaching. He goes back to Washington No. 3 again next year. A catchers mitt still fits him. Neither has his eye dimmed nor his arm weakened. He can still pick them out of thin air for a put out. Clifford Hess ’29 believes in some form of teacher’s tenure. For the third year he will direct the minds of our future citizens at Washington, No. 2. He finds that a combination of teaching during the winter and farming through the summer goes quite well. Clifford is still interested in physical education. His efficiency in this field is shown by the fact that for the past two years he has been chosen to serve on the Playday committee. Melva Gingerich ’29 finds life at the University of Iowa quite agreeable, but would appreciate it if the ten o’clock rule would be extended, so she could attend more of the Center High School functions. She still enjoys mathematics enough to have hopes to be able to join a sorority for those of high scholarship. Thus we see that: the products of Center High rank with the best in even the largest of schools. Between farmi ng, running machinery, and traveling you will find Harold Miller ’28 dividing his time. If it’s in traveling he can tell you about thrilling escapes from pineapples (bombs). He might be able to describe a few runaways when talking about farming,. but home runs are almost a thing of the past for him. Fern Swartzendruber ’28 finds work at home entirely agreeable and apparently finds plenty of work to occupy her time. Vir Jones ’29 thinks a high school education for a farmer is not a bad thing. He seems to be joining that profession. In this work he might get to shoot a few of the squirrels he used to tell about when in school. Francis Palmer ’28 after spending a year on the road _ has settled down to the occupation of pedagogy. This completes the “Big Four” group which raided the halls of Coe college during the summer of 1928. These raids usually took place at about 7:35 A. M., five minutes late for class. With Francis in the profession we find all four of them (Clifford Hess, Maynard Reber, Jacob Swartzendruber, and Francis Palmer) in the school room. Incidentally, they all drive Model A. Fords. Walter Reber ’29 has been engaged the past year at teaching in a school near North Liberty. There’s only one drawback, he says. It’s too far from his home com- munity. “Chief” is the same old lad of high school days.

He has been teaching the past year at Washington No. 5 and has engaged the school again for next year. Last summer he attended the summer session at the S. U. I. and he plans to continue his quest of knowledge in a similar manner this summer. Wallace Gingerich is another alumnus who still remains on the farm, where he assists his father. Last but not least, we find that Maynard Reber has been teaching at Union No. 8 during the past year.

Z THE CENTERIKA ZQ3Z03203203£0 3203406 SIDE GLANCES 7 eee ik NEWSETTES The Annual Washington Township Fall Festival was held at Center High School October 5. There was a large display of. exhibits which proved more interesting for every- one. The day was spent in judging the exhibits, announcing the winnc?s, end the presentment of a program by the schools of the Township. At noon a delicious dinner was served by the ladies of the community. The purpose of this event is to spread the spirit of co-operation among the schools, and to let the public know of the things that are being accomplished through- out the community. Three members of the senior class have chosen to follow the footsteps of their instructors. Edna Yoder will attend Coe College at Cedar Rapids this summer to prepare herself to teach. She will teach the White Hall School in Green Township. Lois Bontrager will also attend summer school at Coe College and make prepar- ations to teach. Eulah Miller says she will either teach next year or attend college somewhere. She may be found at Coe this summer. We are proud to announce the fact that one of our members, Agnes Swartzen- druber, is planning to enter the Nurses’ Training School at La Junta, Colorado this fall. We are certain her cheerful disposition will bring comfort to many a suffering patient. Home is a good place to stay. At least four of our members seem to think so. Helena Amelon, Ferne Wertz, Arvilla Eimen, and Mary Swartzendruber will be engaged in farm ‘and house work at home this summer. Marjorie Hukill is not sure what the summer has in store for her. She is hoping to attend business college at Cedar Rapids. Cecil Bontrager has decided to ‘work out” but isn’t sure where. Delmar Brenneman has decided to attend Iowa University. Mr. Pennington will continue his work in Joetown this summer. He has not made definite plans for the entire year. Miss Krueger is going to attend summer school at Coe College this summer. Myr. and Mrs. Osborn are going to spend their summer vacation on a farm near Solon, Iowa. Mr. Osborn plans to attend the University of Iowa this summer. Next. fall they will be at the Elvira Consolidated School, Clinton, Iowa. Mr. Osborn was elected superintendent and Mrs. Osborn principal of this school. The Baccalaureate services were held at the Joetown Church on Sunday evening, May 11. Mr. James Coons, president of the lowa Wesleyan College, gave the sermon. The Commencement exercises were held at Center High School, May 15. R. K. Bliss, head of the extension division of Iowa State College, gave the address. An interesting feature of our social activities are the literary societies. The Irving and Eycelsior societies were organ’zed in 1927, and were very successful dur- ing its first year. The school was evenly divided, half belonging to each society. The officers were chosen at the beginning o the year and held office the entire school year. The officers of each society are as follows: IRVINGS President—Lois Bontrager; Vice President—Victor Hess; Secretary-Treasurer— Kulah.

Don’t be the one to blame; But grit your teeth and buckle down, And, Buddy—play the game. When you just can’t seem to rally, And you can’t bring down their tead, When the chap who sprained his ankle, Was just the one you need; When the good old bunch seems beaten, And the team is stiff and lame- - Just call a cheery word vr two, And, Buddy—play the game. And when a chance to cheat comes up When no one would ever know, Remember, boy, your team plays clean, So play the game and let it go. When you feel like tying down Though it brings your old school shame, Remember, it’s when you’re losing, That you have to play the game. Then, when the show is over, And the other bunch has won, And all your dreams are shattered, And you fee] your day is done, You don’t feel very cheerful; But, Buddy, just the same, It doesn’t hurt one-half so much If you know you've played the game.
