Rev. Doyle, you head the list. today. Your case, yes it might be worse. You must climb higher that ladder of knowledge, Success will be your curse. Miss Woods, with your Winsome ways You will always be al success. And we hope that even there, as now, You will- never be loved any less. Miss Evans, you too are on this list, With your fairness you cannot fail. Just stay by the standards of old L. H. S. And your approach with gladness we'll hail. Uncle Bennie, we're sorry, and yet xtis true, Your feelings are much too tall. There is an old saying something like this: Pride goes before the fall. Be careful Mrs. Moore, don't learn too much, You are now entirely too wise. When talking to you, yes, even we Can feel our diminutive size. Miss Norris, you're fair and reasonable, That is, in most important things. But once in a while your temper creeps out, And flies as if it had wings. Yes, you're pretty, Miss Johnson, we all know that, And we have this much to say: Looks alone, and no kindness of thot, Will take you a very short way. We admire you, Mrs. Hammond, we can do nothing else, Your nerve and your skill we proclaim. But when those poor little students can't find all those bugs, Don't scold them and say they're to blame. You have a good opinion of yourself, Mr. Tague, But to that allow us to add, You think you're breaking, the hearts of the girls, In reality you're only a fad. Miss Fl-enniken, you're jolly, oh! yes, and you're sweet In the fullest sense of the word. The click of the typewriters sounds in our ears, And still your voice can be heard. Miss Garner, you have been with us for a long, long timeg Your colors are strictly true. Stand up for the high school as you have always done, And they will certainly stand by you. ii 0 EE QMQMQM E W' SEINIUCCDRS 11. 3 QMQ L.-Q QM CLASS OFFICERS Gladys Parmenter, President Madeline Warren, Sec. and Treas.

CLASS FLOWER CLASS COLORS White Carnation Green and White MA PA Miss Flenniken Mr. Carroll Senior Class History , y Four years ago, on September 15th, 1913, our class entered Lawton High School as wee Freshies. We were one of the largest classes entering the school, as there were 108 students enrolled at the beginning of the year. We were somewhat shy and we did not have many parties or entertainments that year, only giving a Thanksgiv- ing reception in honor of the Anadarko football team. During our Sophomore year we stepped out in Society by having three class par- ties and many good tiinesg ending the year with a weine roast on Cache creek. We also inade a great showing in the May Day contests which was a wonderful success. ln our Junior year we gave a reception to Anadarko, which was followed by a line party to the Yale. Miss Hazel Clark, history teacher, gave a line party to her class in Modern History. During the last of the year greater things were in store for us. Une of our class, Rowena Larnegi, Won the southwestern state scholarship at Weatliei-ford and a medal and scholarship at Norman in Piano. We gave a reception to the Seniors a.nd Faculty in the Domestic Science room on the last week of school. At last the happy third year in our school career ended by the dropping of the Senior Banner at the Graduation Exercises . Then we found ourselves taking place as Seniors. As We had worked so hard the first three years in school we now felt more at eaise, worked less, and played more. We gave a reception in honor of the Watonga football boys. Also we gave a weine roast to the Mangum boys, Later the agriculture class entertained the remain- der of the Seniors with an Apron and Overall party. The rest of the time was spent in planning the annual and graduating festivities. Thus ends the history of the Senior class of Nineteen Hundred Seventeen.

MMMQMQQSIIOOWHR- E M Senior Class Will We, the class of Nineteen Hundred Seventeen, on this, the twenty-first day of the fifth month of the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventeen, being of tunj sound mind and free from any restraint do hereby surrender our last will and testament to the remainder of the High School, particularly the Juniors. On account of holding chief executive ability and control of this noted institution for the past four years, we fear and tremble to pass it on into such unfitful hands, unless we leave the following property to the proper people, and give a few instructions, to be care-fully obeyed: First, we bequeath to the Junior class the seats in the Auditorium just preceding the faculty, Care for and cherish them. llo not let any of your heavy weights tPaul Humphries and Marjorie McClurej damage them. . Next, the Chemistry laboratory with all the aprons talmost all ruined with acidl and test tubes you can find. Do not blow up the building with your experiments. The honor of the president of the S. M. S. CStink Mixing societyl we confer upon Law- rence Jones. Also the Agriculture farm, with the rakes and ho-es, a.nd Silas R. Doyle to teach you how ter hoe taters. The Commercial room With the beautiful desks and typewriters, dea.r to the hearts of the Commercial Seniors, we will to those who seek the business education. Of course we know you will never attain that high state of knowledge we have reached. 'Tis with great sorrow fto one of our membersl we turn over the care of Elsie Collins to Paul Humphries. Don't forget the daily noon walk, Paul, it will reduce your size, also keep up the widowed Elsie's spirits. The Lore desk, the beloved, adored, cherished property of that most learn- ed creature, the Editor, we pass on to the next Editor. Do not abuse, curse or kick it, for revenge is sweet. 77 Now last we bequeath the care of the Faculty to you Juniors, Remember the old saying, A smooth tongue turneth away wrath. Poor creatures, they know not what they do. They are like the beggars, you have them with you even unto the end. To this will and testament we set our hand and seal.

Senior Prophecy 1. Last night as I lay a dreaming On a bed of snowy white, An elf came down on a moonbeam And away we went through the night. 2. We came to the Land of the Prophets, A beautiful isle by the sea, And there I found a volume That will interest you and me. 3. I eagerly turned the pages Of this time worn yellow book And there among those moldering ruins I found a quiet nook. 4. First on the page of this grand old volume Comes the name of Rowena our Chief, And she has gathered honors Almost past our belief. 5. Seated in the Castle, She plays for the King of Spain, And there her many admirers Follow in her train. 6. And there stands little Chester, Little, did I say? Oh! no, he's grown a foot or more And tells it every day. 7. Gladys Parmenter has changed a bit, And Oh! I wonder why? Some say he's from Norman, Either there or' nearer by. 8. Miss Warren is still as substantial' As she was in days of yore, And still talks of her many lovers. By the dozens? No, by the score. 9. Helen and Aubrey are happy In a cottage built for two, And Vera nearby is residing, Always l-earning something new. 10. Robert Keely, ever smiling, Ever bashful, as you please, Has at last acquired a brand new air And carries his feet with ease. 11. John has a little Ford Runabout, Which he received as a prize, And this is helping wonderful-ly To make up for his size. 12. Eugene is still progressing, Climbing fast the ways of fame. One more step is all that's needed To make the whole world' know his name. 13. Agnes Humphries and Crawford- I wonder, has he proposed? We wish her the best of successes As onward thru life she goes. 14. Dorothy Hasenbeck, friendly and pleasant, We all want her for a friend, And hope that the last of our High School Days Will not cause her friendship to end. 15. Burton.White, a cartoonist And Charles, an engineer, Are traveling over the country, Occasionall-yi stopping here. 16. Margaret Moseley, the learned one, A minister's wife will be, And we will carry our troubles To all who are as good as she. 17. Edna Belle has dropped her boyish ways- We wonder if it could be so? And reversing that old time adag He's there-but, Sure and Slow. 18. Again we turn another page In this time-worn yellow book. And now the Commercial Seniors Are ready for a look. 19. Onda Fitschen, their society queen, Still promenades the street And captures every youngster Whom she may chance to meet. ev H 20. Tom Phipps, strong and steady, Is an acrobatic shark. His standing back and Watchful Waiting Is just Preparedness for a lark. 21. Francis Grant from a lawyer's bench Will loudly proclaim his fame, And Louis and Reed close following, Are making themselves a name. 22. Clifton Herndon is another caught In that fiel-d of romantic delight, And Porky, a close second, Follows with the fastness. 23. DeWitt, the ever bashful, Together with Russell and Claud, Have set up a wholesale establ-ishment, And we, their efforts applaud. 24. Flo and Ruth, the two faithful pals, Are making their customary hits, While Mildred and' Hilda Soper Are receiving the high school permits. -M. G. C. '17.

MQMQMQHMREIWQMQMQM The Library Council Last night the library books held a solemn council. In fact, so grave was it that even the adventurous Tom Sawyer was subdued into silence, Solemn things were to be considered, vague rumors were on foot, it was even whispered that the Mighty Teachers' Training Class, led by the right valorous Prof. Doyle, was to invade their kingdom, and destroy their long era of good feeling and peace. Yea, that their dark land, the dull and dingy library, was even to be made lighter and gayer by giddy things called curtains, and even worse, that there was to preside over their transformed domain, each period in the day, a great and dreadful rattling thing to disturb their slumbers, and make them work-a creature, who in the language of Websterls Unabridged, was termed a, girl. Hence, this hasty council, called by His Royal Majesty, the Encyclopedia, that compelled even the old and drowsy 'tAncient History of Greece and Rome and the Eastern Empire to come out from their dark and musty shelves. When all we-re assembled, it was at grand, inspiring sight. , To one side was the ancient clan of The Harvard Classics, fifty brave and strong, A few from the royal house of the Encyclopedias were present, the others having gone on adventures wild and drear, into the unknown region called the tt High School, from whence they had never returned. To one side many pamphlets were gathered around two brave figures, Caesar and William Tell, who carried on a fierce discussion on whether Latin or German was of more good to the High School students. Caesar was fighting right vali- antly, but William Tell, with his allies, The Uabinet-Maker and The Model Kitchen, were close on his heels. In the center was a mad jumble of 'tAlgebras,l' Physics, Chemistrys, Ge- ometries, and t'Biologies comparing their latest laws and tl1eo1'en1s. A loud rap was made with the gavel, and the meeting was called to order by the Rules for Parliamentary Practice. The cause for the assemblage of the night was explained by Current Events, and the prominent speakers of the evening named. There arose a murmur of excitement on all sides, and Mr. t'Materia,ls For Debat- ing Soeietiesn rose to his feet. Mi: 'Rules For Parliamentary Practice' and Fellow Citizens, he began. There a.re three reasons why I believe these dread invaders should be driven from our land. I. They will destroy our long and prosperous 'era of good feeling! II, It will be contrary to the Monroe Doctrine, which emphatically says that we, the sover- eign people, will protect our weaker brothers from great foreign powers. As you all know, these mighty invaders will no sooner engage within a great strife, ere their friends and allies, the grade teachers, will come in and take complete possession of our helpless neighbors, tTl1e Supplementary Readers,' and 'Plays and Games for Lit- tle Onesf - 'HI. I say again that we must entirely rid ourselves of these marauders, else, as will surely be the case, when we allow them to commit crimes along our borders, the .great nations of the world will see it, andl, thinking we are weak to resist, will come in and take matters into their own hands, and I tell your we are not 'Prepared' for such a conflict. Hence, my good people, I would have you consider gravely, and find some way to drive these people from our shores. 46 77 MQMQMQ L AR iM SQ He took his seat solemnly, amid an appreeiatlive fluttering of leaves while Mr. l'leononiies arose and walked slowly to the front of the room. His address was eool and persuasive, yet left his hearers in a perprexed state of mind. Speaker followed speaker, and the discussion waxed warm. Finally from the ehaos and exeitement, a formidable plan was put forth-e-ight brave young teachers were to give their lives for the glory of their eountry, and the salvation of their peo- ple. They were to make themselves known to His Royal Terror, King Hugh from the ana-ient house of Uarrolls, and put the idea into his head that ere his cherished Training Hass, led by the above mentioned famous Prof. Doyle, would be proper- ly prepared and equipped for waging war against eertain harmless rural schools, they must eaeh and every 0119 take unto himself the eight brave teachers from Book Land, and thoroughly mastieate and digest them. Needless to say, the strong diet proved too heavy for the fearless Training Class. They all died of over-eating before the last heroic book was devoured, and the plan of the eouneil sueeee-ded. ' They were forever le'ft in peaee and seeurity, -M. M. '17, Happiness is a perfume that you cannot pour on others Without getting a few drops' on yourself. W -Anon.

As I sat beside my study table, Slowly thinking of the things That had happened in our High School, Early in the sunny springs. 2. I could1 see the many joys And holidays we'd had, And the work and worry Over things that made us sad. 3. But I tell you one thing greater Over which a few did toil, And that one was a digging Or a scratching in the soil. 4. We had clay and cloddy gardens, Which we worked both night and day, Till we's afeard we might nigh ruint them, As Bob Keeley used' to say. 5. We were known afar and near By our work and great success, Some proud students called us FARMERS, But they only tried to guess. 6. As they were only jealous of us, Because, when they were working hard, Toiling over some long problem, Os discussing a king or bard, 7. We were carefree, light and happy As we leaned upon our rakes, Watching Mr. Doyle, our teacher, Plow and spade with speedy shakes. 8. Then, when all the ground was harrowed And the clods were all mashed up, We beganp to plant our seeds and things, From package, pan or cup. 9. Later on in rainy April, . All the things that we did eat, Came from those :fair plots or gardens, And were used to make ends meet. 10. So, I say to you, fair Juniors, As you enter Senior days, Don't neglect the joy and pleasures That you get in these farm ways. -H. I. C. '17. A Warning In the days of indigestion, It is often quite a question As to what to eat and what to leave alone, For a microbe and bacillus Has a different way to kill' us, And in time they always claim us for their own. There are germs of every kind In any food that you can find In the market or upon the bill of fare. Drinking water is just as risky As the so-called deadly whisky, And it's often a mistake to breathe the air. The inviting green cucumber Gets most everybody's number, While the green corn has a system all its own, Though a radish seems nutritious, Its behavior is quite vicious, And a doctor will be coming to your home. Eating lobster, cooked or plain, Is only fl-irting with ptomaine, While an oyster sometimes has a lot to say, But the clamspwe eat in chowder, Makes the angels chant the louder, For they know that we'll be with them right away. All- these crazy foods they mix Will float us across the river Styx, Or they'll start us climbing up the milky way. And the meals we eat in courses, Mean a hearse and two bl-ack horses, So, before a meal, some people always pray. Luscious grapes breed 'pendicitis, And the juice leads to gastritis, So there's only death to greet us either way. And fried liver's nice, but mind you, Friends will soon ride slow behind you, And the papers will have nice things to say. fFrom Progress by the Columbia Lifej Love is sunshine -Longfellow. MQ MQ5Lr9iE Q32 Amateur Orators Among all the professions, that of the publicspeak-er requires, perhaps, the most calm and collected mind- Because of the large number of people who will see his fail- ure, an orator w'ill'try harder to complete his address than he would to save himself from failure in any other way. For these reasons, it is safe to surmise that young men making their first speech, work under a greater mental strain than they ever have before, or probably will in the future. The amateur orator, on hearing his name announced, arises from the chair in which he has been sitting, hot and worried, and advances to the front. He is painful- ly aw-fire of his clothes and his actions, imagining that the former have turned to rags and that the latter are not graceful. Howe'ver he tries to cheer himself by remember- ing that Lincoln looked the same way, This reflection has cost him his memory, how- ever, and when he arrives at the stand he has forgotten his first sentence. He therefore slowly pours himself a glass of water in order to gain time. Then feeling his face growing red, and the audience impatient, he decides he must do some- thing, so he bravely launches oni the first sentence that comes to his mind, but after it is finished he remembers with horror that he has neglected to address the chairman or the people. This discovery again drives all his carefully written speech from his mem- ory and he becomes more worried than before. He stops and takes a long, painful breath between each phrase, meanwhile saying a jumble of words which mean noth- ing in the world. He sways .in his feet and taps with his trembling fingers on the ta- ble. About this time he decides he will give his hearers the impression that he is look- ing calmly out of the window, but it is a foolish move, his thoughts wander for a mo- ment and he forgets everything again, and stands without a word to say. A horrible feeling of homesickness and hyponchondria sweep over him and he longs to rush from the stage. However, after what to him seems a long, long time he is able tor go ou, making up time by talking very fast. He tries to calm himself by wetting his lips, clearing his. throat and swaying against the! table, He swallows af- ter every sentence as if he were afflicted with throat trouble. About this time he determines to finish off short, and so hurries on, making his speech as he goes. He has forgotten his originally prepared words anyway, so he heedlessly makes grammatical errors, mispronounces words, and recklessly ends off after having said only half what he intended. As he takes his seat, amidst the scanty applause he determines that he was never meant to be an orator and as he walks slowly home, discouraged and downcast, he wonders what was the matter with him when he was wheedled into joining the de- bating club. -J, F. '18. The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts. The body is like a piano, and happiness is like music, it is needful to have the instrument always in orde1'. -Beecher. MQMQM .. . QRTLQMQMQM A orse Legend Midnight with sunshine! Midnight with the sun high in the sky. The air was caressing and cool. No noise, not even that of the grasshopper and cricket, or the waves lapping the shore, marred this perfect picture. A beautiful wild jagged range of mountains-the J otunheim-their dizzyheights capped with snow stretched up into the fleecy bits of cloud that glided low in the atmosphere. The J otunheim almost en- circled the beautiful Friska fjord, al clear sparkling stream fed by the. glaciers of the extreme north of Norway. The water of the fjord was a dull silver tint which was constantly changing from azure to exquisite bronze. The small rough stretch of land, between the fjord and the mountains was wrapped in a deep violet mist, farther up the mountains the violet fad- ed into a flaming scarlet, and the jagged summits into etheral rose and flesh tints. A 'few clouds were floating aimlessly about the sim, when suddenly the whole scene changed. The battle between the sun and moon-the change from night to day occurred. The deep violet and brilliant scarlet changed to palest lilac. The etheral rose and flesh tinted peaks took on a delicate billowy ,green shade. The sky was one mass of opaliue luster, and the water a deep blue-green-gold. In this small portion of the world dwelt a band of sea rovers andg lfilshermen. One of these old fishmermen had a beautiful daughter, Gerda, She was a tall god- dess-like Norse maid with a milky white complexion, wonderful deep blue eyes, gold- en hair, and perfect features. In summer she wa.ndered through the fields talking to the flowers and birds, climbed to the tops of the dizziest precipices, and sailed the fjord in her small boat. In winter she spun and read, and day-dreamed of her future. VVhen Gerda was eighteen years. old, visitors came to the fjord. An American millionaire with his wife, son, daughter, and a party of friends. J ack, the son, n1.et Gerda. and for a summer pastime wooed and won her heart. Whe-n time came for departure Jack promised Gerda he would come back for her in a little while, and take her to his beautiful l1on1e far over the sea. VVeek after w-eek passed, the flowers began to die, the leaves to turn, and sharp winds to blow in from the north. Witli the fading of summer, Gerda faded. She grew fanciful, pale and morose. For hours at a time she would sit by the shore and strain her eyes to catch the sail of an approaching vessel. Suddenly. winter came in with snow, ice, blizzards, and death-like darkness. Gerda was taken to bed with a fever. Her old father and mother waited and watched over her in helpless misery. Gerda would send them to the window forty to fifty times a day, saying, De-ar Father-dear Mother, look out. Do you see a, ship? No. VVell, perhaps a little later, maybe in the morning he will come. NVeek after week she lingered so. Her once so beautiful body wa.s now wasted and worn. One day when the Friska fjord was its hlackest and coldest, the Jotun- heim frigid and menacing, and there- was nothing, nothing but cold, intense, silent, dark, cold with the snow and ice enveloping all, the sky hung low and heavy, and there was nothing to mark the gloomy, gruesome, never endless night. Gerda sudden- ly raised in her hed and cried, t'He's come! Jack, Oh, my darling! I am ready to go, It is summer, the roses are blooming. Let us wander through the fields once more before we go. She fell back on her pillow in her wild ravings. Her parents knew death was near. Her father went quickly to the shore and prepared his small sailing vessel for ai trip, stacking the cabin with straw. He returned to the house, Gerda lay ghastly white, with her eyes closed, and breathling with great difficulty. M g 5-941 .E HdZQM Gently the old man raised Gerda and carried her down to the sailing vessel, where he lay he-r on a pile of straw on the deck. Gerda opened her blue eyes now so wild and unnatural. A mad laugh broke from her, and she cried, Goodbye Father! Goodbye Mother! I told you Jack would come for me. I am going to be a great lady now in the new world, with beautiful clothes and- and- Her sense returned, and a low, moaniful sound broke from her white parched lips, and in a hollow voice she said, No, no, I am going to the hall of Odin and Frigga-to Valhalla-the Valkyrie approach to bear me there. And again she broke into wild ravings, I see him! I see him-Jack! He is waiting for me in Val- halla. Odin! You are waiting for the soul of Ge-rda. The burning- ship glided out on the cold black water of the Friska fjord. No- body knows where or when the beautiful Gerda died. It is the mystery of death ac- cording to the belief of the Vikings and sea rovers. As the sad old parents stood on the shore the day of never ending night closed in about them. Snow, ice, silence, death-like coldness, black sable night, never ending night, held sky, mountain, earth, and fjord in a close embrace, And now when you sit by the se-ashore, and listen to the song of the seashell, and the wailing of the sobbing waves, it is the voice of the beautiful Gerda calling for her lost lover. -R.

One day, in the warm March weather, The City Commissioners came together To discuss, in tones harsh and rash, , How to clean their dooryards of all- trash. Methinks that the best thing to do, said a gray haired man, Is to get or hire some one to pick up every can. At this the men began to fuss and fret. How much would it cost, and who should they get? Methinks,'i said this same personage, with a twinkle in his eye, That our laborers ive, may find up at the Lawton Hig . Thus on Wednesdagi mo1Erf,dSuperintendent Carroll an assem y ca'e And announced tfliat whosoeverhtwenty-five cans to t e school yard auled Should behawarded a half-holiday and a ticket to t e Murray too. With the High School students, it is some- thing to do. So Friday morning, they wagged their cans ing Big cans, little cans, just so they were tin. Ah! here comes a teacher with an old tow sackg Here a lgtt-le grleen Freshman with cans on is bac . A dignified Senior I next behold, A Ah! Surely I must not be blind, But what are those things that rattle and roll? Yes, a future pedagogue is he with a string of tin cans dragging behind. And the counter's voice is a monotonous hum. One, two, three-twenty-four, You will' have to get just one more. They continued to come and the pile to grow, While many a ticket was earned for the show. The City Commissioners had met once more. That their scheme had worked, there was not a doubt. For not a single can now littered their door. But what to do with those tin cans, That-oh! yes, they must see about. I think wellhave met, said' the chairman with a smi e, To see htiw to dispose of our great tin can p1 e. Silence-not a word said, But only shakings of the head, Until an old man said with a twinkle in his eye, Good friends, why be so bored? For since our cans have grown so high, I'm sure they would be appreciated by Henry Ford. -V. H. H. '17. 10 Of, what should a man be proud, if he is not proud of his friends? It is a good and safe rule to sojourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there. Never omitting an opportunity of doing a kind- ness, or speaking a true word, or making a friend. -Ruskin. M QMQi-,Q5R,E. I MQMQM Two Boys and a Farm Yes, I have to go, eause my folks wonlt let me go to college next year if I don't do something this summer. A farmer, Gee! VVon't I be a big show. Such were the woe hegone expressed words of Bob Scott, he pulled, or rather jerked off his tie and threw it under the bed. Uh, cheer up! old pal, now it can be a great deal worse. I'll stay by you, and we'lI be experienced farmers yet, replied Clyde. Uh, of course, Clyde, I knew you wouldn't forsake ine. I'1n a fool for being so blue. Wish I was as happy go lucky as you are. But say you, I don't know much about a garden. The only roots I know are a few Iiatin and German roots, and I don't imagine they are very marketable, and I don't believe you are mueh wiser. That is where you are very much mistaken, for I spent three months on a farm Aewlien I was three years old, re-turned Clyde. All right, get your duds crammed in a. suit-case and don't be all day doing it. It won't hurt your shirts to be wrinkled. We will good-bye to dea.r Mrs. Rankin fthe landladyl tonight, and pay her for the damage we have done . 'tRemember to get an alarm clock, so we will get up in the morning in time to catch the Il :-L5 train, said Clyde. The next morning found the boys astir quite early and at one ten they were on the farin, congratulating one another for getting up in time to catch the train. Say, you- go milk the cow Bob, and for heaven's sake move around a little quicker. You are as slow a.s Pe-te Brown. Now hurry up-grab that bucket and go, ordered Clyde, who was anxious to get back to reading 4iF1'G'Ckl9S.,7 Will you go over to Farmer Brown's and huy the hens and eggs? returned Bob. ' All right, bye for the present. In about one hour Clyde had bought his hens and was settled down to reading, when he happened to look out of the window and see Bob running up with a battered milk bucket i11 his hand. lJarned old cow tried to shake hand' with me, IIIOEIIIQLI Bob. Uhl come along and I will show you just how to milk. We will give this dirty stuff to the calf. You don't even know how to give it to the calf, do you? Gee, I don 't blame you for hating to come to the farm, replied tllyde, with all the airs of a. millionaire. Clyde put the bucket on a small box and noticed that his shoestring was untied.. .Inst as he bent down to tie it, that t'awful calf pushed the bucket from the box and over it we-nt on poor t'lyde's head. Clyde quickly niarelied into the house and se- lected a distant corner to rest. In a few minutes Bob came in and exclaimed: 'tliisten what I've found. It is a large book in re-'xard to sanitation in dairyingf' Bob began to read. After he had finished two or three pages of what Clyde eall- ed foolishness, he said: . 1 , Uh, come on Bob, don't you know you are being made ai fool of? Now about the chickens, they won't set.', Well, do they want them to I? asked Bob. They didn't state specifically, but I rather inferred they did not. M g0 . RI E QMQMQM l,et's go take a look at the hens, said Bob. When they came in sight of the hen-house, eggs were scattered all over the ground, and behold- Ulyde had bought every one roosters. You need some kind of medical aid, Clyde, and I don't believe you are just real bright. The large hens were exchanged for some not quite so large-, and Bessie Brown explained how to set the hens and in due time she returned to see if the small chicks had appeared. But th-ey had not. Now just what did? you do to those eggs, boysf' asked Bessie. Well, said Ulyde, we knew everything should be clean, so we washed them. Washed the-m ? exclaimed Bess. And we know everything should be antiseptic, you know thas is all the germs killed, so we boiled them, said Bob, Good night, replied Bess, and went home. lt was one month later at college when Bob came up and slapped Clyde on the back and exclaimed: A By gollies, this college life for me. Let's study boy, and be something in the world. -A. L. H. '17. My friend is one before whom I may be sincere, before him I may think aloud. -Emerson. Reveries I I wonder, as I sit here By the fire so warm and bright, If another's mind is wandering In t-he wee small hours of night. II Just four years ago tonight, it seems We finished our Freshman year, And as the year neared to its close We hailed the holidays with cheer. III Our Freshman days were pleasant, Yes, including all the knocks, And we were taught and really believed That our heads were made of blocks. IV Just three smal-l years ago tonight, Our second year was done, And looking forward, just the same, We saw three: months of fun. V But as the third year neared its close, We paused in meditation. Just another night, one year from now, Would finish our education. VI Now the night of nights has come, And we're sorry, yes, 'tis so, For no more will we have cause to say' The school days are so slow! Looking back, we view with deep regret Those days that now are past, And wonder if in after life The years will- move as fast. VIII Perhaps because we do not know What the years ahead might hold, We wish that time could set us back In the Freshman days of old. IX To those who are still in old L. H. S. Your joys are greater by far, And take from us this message, Let nothing your school days mar. -GERTRUDE COCKRILL '17. It is a Dutch proverb that paint costs nothing, such are its preserving qualities in damp climates. Well, sunshine costs less, yet is finer pigment, and so of cheerfulness, the more it is spent, the more it remains. -Emerson. MQMQEQMQQR E i QM MQM N X ' , ' la lm ,M 4 . ff A 1.

The Busy Liar was given with much success on the night of March first. The leading parts were taken by Palmer Brandow and Dorothy Bixby. Eugene Chastain as the villain, Helen Corwin as Mrs. McFarland and James Fullerton as the argumen- tative Senator Carrollton, were all very good. To Miss Woods, our director, belongs all the praise, for it was through her im- tiring efforts that our play was such a success. A light luncheon was served to the players and a few .guests after the play. Our initiation was held last fall at the home of Richard Harper, when tw-e-lve new members were introduced into the wonderful, awe-inspiring mysteries of Black- Dominoism.

H. S. has ever known. The Caesar student who said, What they attempt, they do to a fare-you-well, certainly had the right idea, for its enterprising members work won- ders. It has attracted much attention from outsiders and is to be represented in the Classical J ournal- this year. As to what we have done, just notice those who wear our silver eagle, and ask them about our initiation party, the honorary members' recep- tion, or our plan of presenting something to the High School each year. Uaesar's bust may have a stone heart, and a plaster of paris head, but did you ever notice how he shakes the dust off his wimpers, when you translate like having done been about to be did? Aims of High School Latin 1. To learn the source of nearly eighty per cent of the words of our own language. LZ. To learn the 'fundamental laws of language. 3. To gain a knowledge of Greek and Roman mythology, and its importance in English literature. 4. Appreciation of literary forms. 5.

Well, since it's so, boys, you just keep cool, like I've said before. Keep your eyes on your happy little homes, and leave it to your Uncle Dudley to manage the city. And say, Manlius has declared war on the Roman people. It can't be did. You can't pull that stall on me about Catiline going into exile at Marseilles and not to the camp.

So it was at a dinner party a lady said to him: I am a thorough believer, Mr. Grant, that men's clothes should match their hair, a black haired man should wear a bl-ack suit of clothes, a brown-haired man should brown clothes. Don't you think so ? That may be, bungled Francis. But sup- pose a man is. bald ? My father and I know everything in the world, said a lad. Where is Asia? asked Onda F. It was a stiff question but the little fellow answered coolly, That is one of the questions my father knows. Pa, said John, a small seeker after knowl- edge, what is a kiss ? A kiss, my son, said the father, who hadn't lived fifty years in vain, is nothing divided by two. Mr. Doyle once bought of a local clothier a pair of trousers. In a few days he received a 1 : For one pr. pants, S4.00. ' ' He made no answer and later received an- other bill. He then wrote: Dear Thompson: Say trousers, not pants. Thompson answered. Dear Professor: Anything under five dol-' lars is pants. It's pants you bought and pants you pay for. Mr. Doyle paid. Won't you please croak like a frog, Grand- father? ' asked Helen Anderson. Croak like a frog? Why little girl? Because I heard Daddy say that when you croaked we'd get five thousand dollars. Hermann H. had been asked to write exam- ples of the indicative, subjunctive, potential moods and an exclamatory sentence. This is what he produced: I am trying to pass an English examination. If I answer twenty questions I shall pass. If I answer twelve I may pass. Heaven help mel When a lady patient living far from town had to telephone for her physician, she apologized for asking him to come such a distance. Don't speak of it, said the doctor cheerful- ly, I happen to have another patient in this vi- cinity and I can kill two birds with one stone. -- . .....--- ,.-,se-1 Charl-ie F. was being measured for his first made-to-order suit of clothes. Do you want the shoulders padded, my little man? ' asked the tailor. Naw, said Charlie significantly, pad the pants. An old farmer was holding his frightened team while an automobile rushed by. Queer how horses are so skeered of them things, said one of the loafers. Queer?'f' grumbled the farmer. What would you think if you saw my pants coming down the street with nothing in them ? Do you know, dear, said Ruth to her friend, that when I dance with Jack-it just seems as if he will dance me straightto heaven. Really, replied Ruth McL., doesn't he ever reverse? Rex Lee came out of the room where his father was tacking down a carpet. He was cry- ing lustily. ll'Why Rex, what s the matter? asked his mot er. P-p-p-papa hit his finger with the hammer, sobbed Rex. Well, you needn't cry about a thing like that, comforted' his mother. Why didn't you laugh? I did, sobbed Rex. Berta, the Hudson river flows into New York bay. That is its mouth, now where is its source? asked the teacher. 'iAt the other end, Sir, answered Berta. The sick man had just come out of a long de- l-irium. Where am I? feebly asked Mr. Tague, as he felt loving hands making him comfortable. Where am I? In heaven? h No dear, cried his devoted' wife. I am still wit you.' A clergyman who had advertised for an or- ganist received this reply: Dear Sir: I notice you have a vancancy for an organist and music teacher, either gentleman or lady.

Oh no, said Virgil, Dogs don't bite at this end. Look here! said Miss Wood angrily to the small peddler, Do you call these safety match- es? Why, they won't light at all. Well Ma'am, said the peddler suavel-y, wot could you have safer? So, said Jimmie, Your engagement to Ava is broken off, is it? Why, I thought she just doted on you. 'iSo she did, ' answered Pete, but her father proved to be an antidote. Now then, young man, said the angry farm- er, didn't you see that board when you came trespassing in these woods? Yes sir, ' said Porky meekl-y. Well, what did it say? I dunno. I was too polite to read any more when I saw the first word 'Privatef Mr. Carroll was going from room to room explaining what to do in case of fire. The pupils listened with respectful attention until- he came to his final instruction, then smiles and giggles dis- turbed his serenity. Above all things, he said, if your clothing catches fire remain cool. ' I'm surprised at you, Perry, said Mr. Tague, that you cannot tell me when Columbus discov- ered America! What does the chapter heading of the week's lesson read? Columbus-1492, replied Perry C. Well, isn't that plain enough? asked Mr. Tague, didn't you see that before? Yessir, yessir, but I always thought that was his telephone number. ' Miss Woods asked the Sophomore English cl-ass to draw a picture of what they wanted most. Presently she noticed Etta B. in deep thought. What's the matter, Etta, don't you know what you want most? asked Miss W. Yes, but I don't know how to draw it, re- plied Etta. Well, what is it? asked Miss Woods. I want to be married, answered Etta. Brownie las a car goes byb- There goes Cooter, the fullback. He'll soon be our best man. Enid T.- Oh! Brownie, this is so sudden. LETTER E Some one has advanced the opinion that the letter E is the most unfortunate character of the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger, and in Hell all the time. For some reason he overlooked the fortunates of the letter, so we will call his attention to the fact that E is never in war, always in peace, it is the beginning of existence, the commence- ment of ease, the end of trouble, without it there would be no meat, no life, no heaven. It is the center of honesty, makes love perfect, and with- out it there would be no devils, angels, editors, news, or lies-also women. R E QMQMQM It was the English hour in the Freshman year, and Tom McDuffie was told to write a sen- tence using the word notwithstanding, When called upon he got up and read: My father wore out the seat of his trousers, but not with standing. ' Once a trapper from the backwoods of Ken- tucky was riding in a railroad car for the first time. Right in front of him sat Mr. McGee read- ing a newspaper. He was pretty thin on top, but there was a good fringe of hair around the base of his head. Mr. McGee kept vigorously scratch- ing these lower regions. The trapper, much in- terested, leaned forward and said: That's right, neighbor, that's right. Chase 'em up inter the clearin', an' then yer' kin ketch 'em easier. ' Lawton, Okla., May 10, 1917.
