With the aid of guides, chaperones and fast flying airships, we reached the Earth without a single mishap to hinder our progress. Anxious to obtain as much knowledge of the new land as possible during our stay, we decided to enter some Institution of Learning, and thus it was that in the fall of 1913 we dawned upon the horizon of the Lowell High School and entered as Freshmen. There for four years we have sat daily at the feet of some of the world’s best teachers, receiving knowledge. Our Freshmen and Sophomore years passed rapidly. We entered the Junior year with the inspiration of a new High School building with new equipment. We will let the class of ’16 sing the praises of the banquet which we gave them at the close of the year. Our class is proud of the honors which some of the members have received in the school contests during those three years. Our Senior year is now nearly over. One trait of our char¬ acter is especially being developed this year for we have sat with, and cared for the mischievous infants of the school who bear the name of Sophomores. (They were intrusted to us by the faculty.) Besides the development of the trait, we are grow- IMS ton? ing wiser each day and there is no doubt in our minds at least but that we have about absorbed all the wisdom from our learned faculty. It is said that at one of their meetings held in the office recently, they conceded that the “class from Mars” is the most brilliant one the Lowell High School has ever known. For our spotless record of Deportment which we leave with the school we are indebted to our early training in Mars. If at times we felt within us a desire to wander from that teaching, that desire was immediately detected by the watchful Elsie Mc¬ Connell and Violet Hoevet or Milton McKay and Verne Lloyd who kept an eye on us lest we cause any disturbance in the assembly or displease the faculty. Soon the class of ’17 will have passed away and we shall behold the Earth no more. With the thought of graduation comes the thought of our departure for Mars. We feel keenly within us the call of our native land. Ere we leave, Oh Lowell High School, One last toast we’ll give to you; It’ll be “Lowell High School forever To you we’ll always be true.” Our native land afar doth call us, But our hearts we leave with thee, And we’ll always drink to your ’17 Faculty And the times that “ust ter be.” HILDA DAHL. :!iii!iiiiimmn!!!i:i iiiiii!iiii!iiimimiiiii;uiiii!ii!iiiniii!i!iiaiintiiiiiiiiuuuiiiinaMiiniiiiiuiiHiini!iumMiiimimiii:miiimiiiiisiii .d X 7 ' . .ns. . iiiiii iiiiUiiiw iiiimmuiiiimiiiiii!i:Mii� iiiuiu.iiiiiiiiiiiii(nii iitiiiui:iiiiiiiiii;iiii iiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii}iiiiiiiiiHiiH;iiiiiii«iiiiiiii(iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiui!iiiitiiliiill! x.atumian iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuii:niiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!:iiiiiiiuiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiuii iiHii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiui!i!!i!iiiiiiiiiii(jii.iiliiiililiui!itiiiiiiiiiiliii;iiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiri VLi jc Eetncarnatton of Class! ’17 It seems 1 spent years sleeping, feeling in a way that the seasons were coming and going, knowing best when the warm sunshine wrapped me in a blanket of warmth, to sleep and sleep on until I should reach the stage of awakening. In a whis¬ per it came to me, “Awake, thou art the spirit of the class of nineteen-seventeen.” Vaguely, at first I understood, then I knew and remembered—the fire—the terror—then oblivion. But now, such a new and strange world and so beautiful. Just like fairyland. Beneath me I could see the great rolling clouds. I wondered at this for under my feet was a carpet of gold. I reached down to touch it and found it nothing. Just the transparent nothingness of color. I tried to feel my own hand, that too was like the carpet of gold. A nothingness of color. I tried to move, the impulse was followed strangely. Light as air I floated and in this way all things were done. Then came sound. The beauty of it was almost appalling; I floated to it. Upon a tree of gold was perched a bird. A bird of Para¬ dise. “Nellie,” I whispered, for I was scarcely able to speak, “is it you?” And indeed it was our sweet whistler, Nellie Brooks. “Listen,” she said, don’t you hear?” Too surprised to answer, 1 waited. From what seemed to be a brook ot the purest silver that laughed just for pure joy, there arose a water-nymph and with her came the laughter too. It was Della Wagin. In her un¬ usual provoking way, she turned and addressed something in the water, “No Milton McKay you cannot come out. A fish you are and must always be. ‘But see,’ Max is luckier than you; he being a mud-turtle with four legs can go almost anyw r here.” “Aren’t there any angels here?” I asked. Almost at once one came. It was Lillian Goddard. Beau¬ tiful, but for an angel she looked troubled. “Won’t you see what is hanging to my shirt,” she said. I looked and it was Verne Lloyd. “Where is Rubie Hayhurst and Lucile Brownell?” I asked. “Why don’t you know,” Lillian answered, they are fire¬ flies and Ed Minninger keeps them busy lighting his pipe.” A strange and beautiful world it was. There were ani¬ mals too, I saw one lonely goat. In sympathy I tried to touch him. “Oh, never mind,” he said, “a goat’s a goat now and always.” And I know it was Seth Little. I saw them spinning from a mist of gold, weaving joy and love, just as always—Elsie McConnell and Violet Hoevet.

' ’ Seniors! so dignified and yet jolly, Some are called Jim and some are called Polly. Working so hard, all honorable and true, For everyone is hoping to get thru: Once they were Freshmen so bashful and green. Their queer mistakes they hoped would pass unseen. Then they were silly Sophomores, quite too bold, Wishing all power in their big hands to hold. But when they changed from Sophs to Juniors gay, They thought that they had better change their way; And so they worked and Seniors all became, Their lives are now glorified with fame. And thru’ the future years of their great life They all will bear the honor of that strife. —DELLA WAGIN ’17 1917 IIlUllllllllllltlllllltllllliHII llllllllllHIlHIIIIlllIIlhllUHIIIIIUItl ui immnmiMUHHiiiiiimHniHiHiuuiiimnniii.. .oumuan iiiiiiiiiiiiHtiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ' iiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiaiuii another came with threads of truth to be added to the things worth while. It was Thelma Hill. Still farther I went to the edge of an enchanted wood. A little wood page met me. In red and gold I recognized Floyd Vinnedge. He told me the story of the enchanted wood. Two owls, Herbert Korth and Dilwyn Nicholas sat outside the window of the beautiful princess, Mabelle Feeley, continually asking “Who?” She loved one of them but not being able to dis¬ tinguish one from the other in their present state, she was in a great dilemma. Hastening over a path that seemed strewn with pink pearls on which a touch of sunlight fell, I exclaimed, “What mystery are you ?” “We are the pathway of tears” came the voice of Hilda Dahl. I came to a great garden with a hedge as green as the bright¬ est emerald. Bethel Haskell was caring for the flowers. “See,” she said, pointing to a dark red rose, “this is Vera Bess, and this tall lily is Elizabeth Miller. Each day they be¬ come sweeter and in time they will develop their own person¬ alities and I thought it quite a wonderful garden. A little toad was hopping about catching bugs among the flowers. “Be careful, Clayton Davis,” Bethel spoke to the toad, “be careful don’t hop on the ladies branches.” A humming bird perched itself upon the garden hedge and winked mischievously at me. “Why, Natalie Trump is that you?” I cried. With a little flutter it flew about my head and hummed and the tune was so like one of our old high school songs that even the flowers nodded in unison. Back to the little brook from whence I came, 1 saw within it the little bodies that I knew contained human minds, yet for some reason they must work out their own reincarnation. I reached again the golden tree and heard the voices of Lucile Miller, Harriett Clark and Ettie Lee, but I could not see them. “Where are you girls, I would like so much to see you,” I called to them. Immediately, the great golden tree glowed and brightened like the sun. When the colors showed transparent I saw them each with the same old smile and I knew they were keeping the tree of life shining. What a wonderful day ! I, the spirit of the class of 1917, standing beneath the tree of life, had solved the problem of the ages. It was this-. “As ye give so shall ye receive.” iJiiiiiiHiiiiiiiitiimiiiiiiMumiiiiiiiiitiuiiiimiiiimuiiiuiu iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiuuiiniuiiimiimiiuiiiiniiiiiitniiiiniiiiiiiiuiiiimiiiiiin 1917 iMti iiitiitiiiiiiiiiiuMii niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiittuitiitiiiiiiiiitiitiiiiitiiiiiiiiii4ti(iiiiiiiiti;iiitisiii!nmiiuiiiii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiuiiiiiiitiiiiiiitiiitiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiif::mm Tn iunntiiiiiiuuiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiii;iiniiiiiuiiiuiiun?ittiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuniiiiitii!ii!iiiiiniuiiiitiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiii(iniiitiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiui!iiiiiiiimiiiii Hotoellian iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiimiirniniiiiinii ' iiiiiiiiiiuiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiii IlCIIIIIIIIIIIIillllllltlllllllllll I1IIIIIIII1IIIIIIIIIIII|I||||IIIIII ' |III!IU iiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiniimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiunniiiiiiiMnDHiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiniiiiiiiDiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiinmiiiinuiiiiiiiiiiifi 1917 iimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiititiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini:!iu ...

A pepper-box, my friends, a pepper-box full of the pepperiest pepper of the Harriett Parsons brand. It must be handled with the greatest care, for oh dear! suppose the lid should come off. He who needs pepper let him speak. Sold ! to Mabel Thompson. Who wants a sieve, a sieve for things to go through, never to return? From the Klein-Mahler firm and guaranteed to sift. Miss McLean vouches for it that even Latin verbs have no shape or form after going through this very remarkable utensil. Sold to Harold Brownell because of the recommendation. A charming copy of “Youths Companion,” otherwise known as Ruth Sanders. Something every boy should have, but only one speak at a time. Oh, don’t all crowd so! Listen, listen, listen, a set of spoons, spoons that have shone and glistened, the spooniest kind of spoons, with the names Fed- dler, Hendricks, Pike, Thomas, and Stuppy engraved upon them. Please don’t all speak at once. The Gold Dust Twins.—Let the Buckley girls do your work. They are willing and efficient and I’ll sell them cheap. Gone! No, only one pair. Here is a watch, always on time. From the Vivian Rumsey factory, the owner of which, they tell me, is punctuality per¬ sonified. See this chattering poll-parrot. Ramona speak for the crowd. Oh, no! she’s tired, not shy. Certainly she can sing. Fine company for a lonely man or an old maid. To you, John Bruce, be sure and not teach her anything naughty. uiiiiiiitimiiiiiii:MiiiiiiiMiiiuiiMHiiiiiiiiiiMililllltiilllilllliliMillliiiiiiiiiiMliiliiililllillllliiiMiitliiiitllllillillliiilin l lliiiiiii ::; ' ' iilillllililii!iliiilllllllllllliil‘llllllll!ill!lllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllllllM!t 1917 uimiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiintii!ir.iMiiiiiiiiiiiiiTtiiii!iMiiiiiiiniiimii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iii!i.!i. iiiiiinmiBM-!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiii!iiiiimiiiiiui!iliiiiitiiitiiiiMiiimmin Jlotodlian llllll1lll||llllllllllllllllllllll|lllllli:iUllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllUIIIIII!llll!lllillllllllll|llll]||llllllllllllllI!lllllilli:i|l!llllllill!llll!llli:ilillll!lllllllllllllll|||||||iilI!lll||II|||||||||!l||||||||||||||| miUtlilllliillllllllll«UtlllllllllllllllllllilllUlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllillllllllllll!llllllllllllllllllU«:!1l ll|lil!|Jllllllllli!!llltl!llllllllilllltlll!illlllllllllllllllllllllil!IIIIIIIIII!!!!lil Let us all sing.

To die, to pass No more; and by passing to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That a Freshman is heir to. ’Tis a consummation To wish to be a Sophomore: To die, to sleep; To sleep! perhaps to dream; Ah ! there’s the rub; For in that sleep at school, what dreams may come When we have forgotten all this work and toil To become a Junior; there’s the respect That makes our high-school life so dear, For who would bear the looks and scorn of teachers The Junior’s wrong, the dignified Seniors air, The pangs of verdancy, the school’s dismay When by study and hard work That patient merit of the worthy ones, Leads him, a Sophomore, on to victory. —CECIL MINNINGER, ’19 .........iiiimniiiitiHiiiiiiiiiuiiii:iiiiii!iHniiiiii![!HiiiiiiiiiiiHi!iiiiiiiiHiiiiinHniiiBiiuiiinaHiiuiiiHijiiiiiiatiHiimiiiiitiX 9X ■ unn in luiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiMiiiiiuiiiiiiiiitiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ' iiniiiiin ' iiimiiiuiimiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiNiiiiii iiiiituiiiiiiicmiiMciiuiiiuniiiiiuiiiiiitiiiiiiniitiiiiiiitiiiiiintiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiii 1917 iiiiiiiiiiiiniitiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiHtiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiKiiiiiiinii llllllllllllltllllimil!IIIIIIMI!lllllllllllllllllllll!lllllll IlllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllUllllllllllllllllliillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllll JlotoEUtan iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii(uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii:u Burdette Hayden Fremond McCarty Lester Phillips Rex Frazier Milford Hayden John Maloy Ruth Klug Madge Vandercar Faye Clark Forrest Taylor Ruby Hill Stella Newkirk Edna Tanner John Davis Ina Hayhurst Scott Powell Sabena Berg Harold Love Zella Bess Harry Rigg Hester Little Virginia Hamacher Horace Carter Margaret Buckley Alta Sutton Earl Little Emma Poppe Florence Corning Bessie Scritchfield Driscoll Carstens Mary Vallee Harriett Miller Mae Belle Pixley Madeline Slocomb I nice Sisson Fern Wood Hilda Wille Roy Phillips Hans Braun Gerald Childress Bernard McCoy Theodore Johnson Clifford Tramm ..iiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiminiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniildl 7nminiiiiiiiiinwiinnniiiiiini.. tLoairman £ b, Cbat Jfregbmcn Class Great big bunch of Freshmen Came to L.

Through the constant efforts of Mr. Fdliott and Mr. Clay¬ ton, the high school has kept up in two sports—track and basket¬ ball ; and although they have not always been winners they feel well repaid for their efforts. When ever athletics die out the high school will begin to decline. Realizing this, each mem¬ ber of the school and faculty has exerted great efforts to continue in basket-ball and track. In basket ball they did not have great success, but the mem¬ bers of the team are to be congratulated for the spirit which they showed throughout the season. Although losing many games they kept “plugging” and won the respect of every team in the county for the clean games they put up. Next year Low¬ ell may expect to be a winner, for only one regular is lost to the team through graduation. In track Lowell is coming. More interest is being shown this year, in this line of sport than in any previous year. Last year they took second and third in the mile and expect to win many points this year. Those who will compose the squad are McKay, S. Little, Minninger, Yandercar, Brownell, Bahr, Fra¬ sier, E. Little and Korth. niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiitiiiiifiiniiiiinniiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiuiiiitiiitiii 191 minim iiiiiititiiHiiimiiiiitmitiimimnuiii miiimiiiiiniitiiiimiiiiiiii iniiiiiiiliiii mu Hotoellian CECIL MINNINGER “JUGGY” Captain.

THE VESTAL VIRGINS’ CLUB In November of the year 1916, the members of the Cicero class of the Lowell High School organized a Latin Club and gave it the name of “The Vestal Virgins’ Club” as there were only girls in the Club. At the first meeting, officers were elected and rules established. The club consists of eight students and Miss McLean, the director. Two meetings were held and Latin pro¬ grams given by the club members; Latin games were played and refreshments served. The club is an enjoyable one and not un¬ profitable to the members. —MILDRED FOS1 ER, 18 SOPHOCLES LITERARY SOCIETY The Literary Society of the class of ’18 made its first appear¬ ance in the Sophomore year, with Kenneth Landis as its presi¬ dent, Ruth Berg, his vice, and Ernestine Belshaw, secretary. A constitution was adopted and the society was given the name “Sophocles,” under which name it was recognized this year. The purpose of the organization is two-fold, to enable the students to feel at ease when addressing an audience and to en¬ deavor to lay special emphasis on literary genius and public speaking. The program consists of musical numbers, original stories, readings and extemporaneous speeches. The members of the class are required to respond in furnishing some number at least once a month. This gives each one the benefit of the so¬ ciety. —ERNESTINE BELSHAW. THE EXCELSIOR SOCIETY The Excelsior Society was organized by the members of the second year English class, September 26, 1916. I he officers elected were president, vice-president, secretary and chairman of the program committee. The elected motto was Literature makes a very bad crutch but a good walking stick.” Regular meetings are held during the class period on Tuesday of every other week. The programs, consisting of music, drama, read¬ ings, mock trials, and debates have not only been a recreation, but also very beneficial and instructive. —LAURA KIMMET. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club was organized the first of the year with a large membership. The officers elected were: President, Lucile Brownell; Secretary, Harriett Clark. They have met every Fri¬ day morning since their organization. Mrs. Thomas, the in¬ structor, has certainly been faithful and worked with them to the best of her ability. The girls gave successful concerts March 29th, and have sung for Parents’ and Teachers’ Club, Literary Societies, and public entertainments. Glee Club work is very beneficial in de¬ veloping musical talent of the high-school students and the girls feel that they have enjoyed the work immensely. —LUCILE BROWNELL, ’17 imiltri!liiii . .m... 91 7 i« m. mm . . ... . .. llll!:i:ilil!lll|ii:illll!llllll!lllllllllilllllllll!IIIIIIIUIIIIIIIII|ll!llllllll!IIIIIIII!!l!IIIIIIIIIIIIHII!lllllll!li:i:i ' lllllllllll!ll!llllll!llllllllllll!!llllllllll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!lllllli:ill!!!!l!niUI; HototUtan ii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiii iiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!itiiiiiiiirtiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!ii:ii)ui:i]iiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiuiiiuiuiiiiiiii;iii!niiiim!i]|]!iiiinuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiuiiitiiiii Mrs. Florence Thomas, Instructor; Georgia Baker, Gladys Buckley, Emeline Morey, Ruth Berg, Hilda Dahl, Velva Moxell, Lucile Brownell, Hermenia Kimmet, Rubie Hayhurst, Ramona Strick¬ land, Della Wagin, Nellie Brooks, Harriett Cla rk, Vivian Rumsey, Phebe Tilton, Laura Kimmet, Violet Havden. ,1917 uiiiiiiHiwwmiitiiiHitiMiriii ' .. imn—in� i� :iia� ;in iiii: i iiiiiiiimiimjiiiiii.iiiiiriiiiiiraiiiH ' inmiiniiiii i.: .1 � :.i i: iiiiiiiunai •IIIIMllll lllll� lllllllI� l!lllllllllltrtlJllt� llllllinni� IIIUIIIItllllUirilWIII� � MI� i� UII«l!ltlllH:illli:i;i:llll� UI� lltlllllll!IIM� ilMMIUIIHIIIIIIIUH!I!U llll!!lllllllllllllimiininilimi!l!l� !� !l� t ii«;iiimiiiiiiniuiiiiiii!iiiii«iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiii!itiiiiiiiiuuuiiiiiii:iiiiiiimr.iiiiiiiiiiit JLotoellian tiiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiiiiii;!Uiiiiiiiiii4Uiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]ii«iiiiiii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii{iiiiiiMimii!!Uii:i; IIIIIIIIIIIiMlllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllM (Oratory The High School has realized greater success this year in its course of oratory work than in previous years. In part this is probably due to the organization of a class in Public Speaking, at the beginning of the term, also to the efforts of the faithful instructress, Miss Steele. By her well-directed aims she has shown that she is thoroughly interested in the work and the suc¬ cess of the students and we trust that she has understood our ap¬ preciation. The individual efforts of the students show a keen desire on their part to do the very best that is in their power. Although a slight spirit of rivalry always prevails at such events, it may easily be termed as another means by which the student is urged to the utmost to bring out the best that is in him. —elsie McConnell. iLtst of Contestants Oratory irgil Scritchfield .

John Willett, a young architect, is in love with Kate and asks to see her alone on the evening before her departure. He is suddenly called to New York and when he goes to bid Kate good-bye, she is not at home. He leaves a note for her with Wanda who is also in love with John. Acting upon a hint dropped by Amos North, a young banker who loves Kate, Wanda destroys the note and allows Kate to believe John went away with a young lady. Out of wounded pride, Kate decides to marry Amos. Neither Kate nor Wanda are happy at College. W anda dislikes College life and Kate’s future life with Amos North always rises before her. Amos visits the college and Kate pro¬ mises to marry him. John arrives but Kate will not listen to his explanations. After John leaves, Amos attempts to kiss Kate and she breaks the engagement. During Christmas vacation, Mrs. t arroll informs Kate of the loss of her money through Amos North s trickery. John re¬ turns envelopes to Mrs. Carroll which will regain her money. Amos, with Wanda’s aid, steals those which will expose his guilt. Graduation day at assar! Mrs. Carroll, Shiny, her colored servant, and Hank, the hired man, go to Vassar. Wanda and Amos announce their engagement. Meanwhile John and Kate have met and explanations are made which end in their engage¬ ment. —BETHEL HASKELL.

Mr. Elliott, leaving $50,000 in care of me for the improve¬ ment of said school. His late students are much grieved over the loss sustained by his departure to the spirit world, but looked with great joy on his rememberance of the Old Lowell High where he reigned for so many years. I was much surprised, to hear of the great trust which he had placed upon me, an old student of his, and have decided on several things which would greatly improve that school, among which were the following: First the assembly needs several very important improve¬ ments. The seats should be equipped with periscopes so the students can keep the teachers in line of vision all the time. This is essential if one wishes to whisper without being caught. The seats should be placed on an endless chain running over rollers, so the students could be on the move all the time. This would keep them from getting tired of one position. There should be a large bedroom off to one side where each student could take short naps whenever he gets tired. This would save the annoyance of having students snoring in the as¬ sembly. The next improvement is very important. There should be an electric piano which would play soft melodies each period. These would inspire the students to work when he wasn’t listening to the music. The aforementioned improve¬ ments would cost about ten thousand dollars. Second, the Botany room should have electrically controlled window sashes, so the teacher, who is rather short, can put them up without using a ruler to unhook the latches. There should be an electric phonograph in this room as well as all the others, to give short recitations occasionally, when the students forget their assignments. To go with the phonograph there should be dictaphone so the student could prepare the topics which he was going to forget, before class. Then it would be a good plan to have a Botany room large enough for the whole class, for when they have to take it in the Mathamatics room, the thoughts, which pervade the atmosphere from the mathamatics class, make the students become confused at time. The cost of labor saving alterations and devices would be about ten thousand dollars. Third, there is the English or Latin room, which needs a whole new outfit. There should be a good teacher’s desk fitted with bottles of stimulants, for the prospective orators when he gets cold feet, also a decent time piece for the teachers. Each chair should be fitted with a head rest, a foot rest, and a rest for each arm. On the legs rubber tired rollers should be placed so the students can get to the place in the room which suits him best. Off to one side a good sized room should be constructed, lumniNiiNiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiuiinuiiuniiiiiim lllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllHillllilllUIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIUllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll(llMlll !Hllllillllltlllli:!llilllllli l IIIIUi;ililtlllllllllll!IIIIIIIIHRMIIIIIIIIIillllllllli:il riiiiiiiimiiiiiiiHiin 1917 iimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiKiiiiiiiiuiiMmiiiiiiii so that if the students get in a dispute over where their chairs should he placed, they can fight it out. Of course there should be heavy weight boxing gloves so the students won’t put each other in a condition for the undertaker. Now as some students must converse occasionally, there should be a sufficient num¬ ber of wireless telephones placed in a small closet in the rear of the room, so each student may get one at the beginning of the class, and use it as needed. One other item which I neglected to mention before was a twenty-four ounce kicking bag which should be placed under the desk for the teacher to kick when she gets angry at the students. The cost of these furnishings would be about twenty thousand dollars. Fourth, 1 think each side of the building should be fitted with the perspiration preventive called the lightning deliverer. This is a very recently invented machine made by running the cables over pulleys. On these are placed chairs made of slats, at a dis- iHiiiiiiiiiiiinii ' iiiiiiii tance of four feet apart. These chairs have foot rests so the per¬ sons may be comfortable who is being delivered from the first landing to the second or third. This machine is run by electric motors and the maximum speed is such that if the students all wished to go direct to the top floor or vice versa, it would take thirty seconds. In case of fire this would be a great life-saver. The cost of this wonderful invention is ten thousand dollars. 1 believe with these improvements the people of the three Creek Townships would have the best equipped building in the world. The students would have every desirable comfort and convenience, with the least probability of work. If they would wish for anything better they could look at the stone engraving to be placed on the outside of the buildiing. Then they would despair of finding anything better for the legend will proclaim truthfully “The Lowell District High School, the Best Equipped Building for Education in the World.” —LYLE TRUMP, ’18 imiiiiiiiHiiiiitiiuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNnimiiiiiiiiuiiiiniiiniii lotofllian iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiUiiiiiiiimiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiMitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiinii Senior ' s jtlustng Unmirthful blues go!

I say well known, for from your childhood days you can recall a picture of father on his knees looking fot that pesky collar button. Phis little button is not to be looked upon altogether with hatred, but with a small share of reverence and dignity. By peeping thru the key-hole of a male’s bed room one might see there the man on his knees before the dresser going thru a lengthy ceremony of words not meant to be read in public and made only for a button of the collar family. As you watch him you may think he is worshipping the dresser but No! he soon makes a lunge and then emerges from under the dresser with that pesky button, the cause of all his ceremony and knee sores. At last he is under control. But this is not the end of the little affair, for after the button is placed in its proper nook it must then undergo a severe battle with a collar, and after a few more quotations of the ceremony by the wearer, it is bound to conquer the collar and hold it in its clutches, much to the discomfort of the wearer who is quite well worn out by this time. Now this little beast is not to be left out in the open where the eyes of the world may look upon its mean countenance, but is cov¬ ered up by what is known as a tie, where it is left in darkness like a spanked boy in a closet, to think over all the names it has been christened. This insignifigant button is not only looked upon as a deity, but is also recognized as a sagicious rascal. He may be fou nd in the offices of Wall Street or Fifth Avenue drawing rooms. One might even see him playing on the screen opposite Mary Pick- ford. And by careful observation he can be seen in the midst of a party of ministers, but far be it from me to say that he must undergo any of the aforesaid treatment by any members of this party. After all the overhauling one might think the collar button is of no use at all. But it is good for one thing. It is good-for- nothing. It actually does give the bashful proposing youth something to clutch at. Just when he begins to perspire under the subdued collar, and doesn’t know just where to put his hands, he can at least fumble and play with his collar button. I am sure I know of no other useful purpose it has attained unless it is that it can be used in the pastime of “Hide the Button.” As to its invention 1 am not certain but I am inclined to believe it was not the output of a sane person, for no such per¬ son would introduce all the tortures this little button has caused. But I am certain if a sane man did invent this weapon of tor- 1917 llllllUliiitllllllMilllllilllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllll.llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllll , llll ' Ullllll l illlinili:ill!ll!lllllll!IIIIIIIIUII!lllllllllllllliMIIIIIII!illlllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllll muiiiiti:iniiitiiuiiuumuuoiiuiuuiitiiiiiiiu iiiiiiii)ai ' iiit:ramiitiiii)Tiiii;iii iiuiiwiJiutiiittiiiuiiiiiii:iuiiiui ' ii ' ii!iiitiiiiwtiii:im;iii:::i!!:.!;r:i:iumittUHiaiiiiiiURaranaiiiiiiiiiu: Ilotomltan ninmii 1 ... mcnt he never gave New Year ' s resolutions a single thought, for this invention has been the cause of many a man breaking a perfectly good New Year’s resolution. We need not mention which one. One source of mystery that still enshrouds this thing is why man finally christened it a collar button. After all the pro¬ pose d names that they should settle on anything so civilized is beyond me. For the benefit of the feminine sex we might add that there !3n appreciation from a To Your Freshman protean simplicity Gorged roots—math, Latin and botanical, Your cynic Sopho’ more duplicity Learned failure for its his mechanical As Juniors crabbed history, taught you dates, Tho’ less you recked of Bismark’s than your own, Salvation for all worlds, great empire’s fates are numerous shapes and forms of collar button, the most pro¬ minent being the round head. Another source of interest is that before being placed on the market it is veneered with a slippery liquid which allows the button to glide easily from your fingers to its secure nook under the dresser. The collar button is not only worn on the front of the neck but also on the back, to sort of counterbalance the pain. Those wishing further in¬ formation will find collar button in the dictionary. —KENNETH LANDIS. Jttember of tfje Jfacultp 1917 Your senior notes and themes have clearly shown.

Floyd had been bothering Lillian in English class. Lillian went to Miss McLean with the following complaint: “If you can’t make Floyd quit bothering me, I’ll see Mr. Elliott about it.” Miss McLean: “You seem to like it.” Miss Hendricks—“How do the Gleaner Societies encourage agriculture?” Milton—“By eating vegetables.” “The biggest fool is the fool that thinks he is not a fool.” Comment: A Sophomore for example.

Mr. Elliott—“What could you do if you would inhale some hydroflouric acid?” Milton—“You might cough up the salt it formed.” GEOMETRY Teacher says we all have to write “sumthing” on nothing (Geometry—anyway thats how I figure it.) But I aint going to do it. I’m going to write nothing on nothing for nothing. “Geometry ain’t no good for anybody,” that’s my topic sen¬ tence. If it were they wouldn’t be teaching it in school, because school never helps a kid to be what he wants to be. All they teach it for is simply this, its hard! It’s a good thing that the fellow who invented geometry is dead. If he wasn’t he’d sure get a bunch of knocks from the school kids, including me. And besides if he were living I know he would be placed in a “lunatical place for lunaticism.” But you see they didn’t know no better them days so they let him ramble like a twin-two cylinder diver of today. At that though he isn’t much worse than the educational facilities of today because they censure his impracticable stone age stuff. (Ain’t I rite?) Geometry I guess is about ten, maybe fifteen years old. Maybe not. Geometry’s first name is plane, his twin brother is solid. They both are a sort of relation to their cousin Algebra. Geometry gets you in bad like all the other G’s. It makes you gloomy. Its like a girl, makes you stay up late nights, and get “g” in your classes as well as when you get home. Geometry’s, great goods for grand, green fellows and gay girls. —FRED MINNINGER. UUIIIIIIIIintlilllllillllllltllllllUlllIrt!

E. J. PTXLEY JEWELER AND REGISTERED OPTICIAN Lowell, Indiana SANGER’S RESTAURANT The Success of the Lowellian is in no small measure due to the Quality of Stafford Engravings and the Character of Stafford Co-operation In making this statement, we have no desire to take any credit from the editorial staff—in fact we feel that it is all the more to their credit that they realized the superior quality of Stafford engrav¬ ings and that they so thoroughly appreciated the value of Stafford co-operation. Years of specialization have made the Stafford organ¬ ization unusually expert in engraving and designing for college and school publications. The most modern shop equipment gives us every facility for prompt production of quality etchings, halftones and color plates. Stafford halftones are made by the famous Levy acid- blast process, which gives a cleaner, deeper and sharp¬ er etch than the tub method generally used. Printers like Stafford plates because it makes it easier for them to give you a first-class job. The Stafford hand-book, “Engraving for College and School Publications,’ ’containing 164 pages and over 300 illustrations, gives valuable suggestions for plan¬ ning your publication, preparing copy and ordering en¬ gravings. It prevents costly mistakes and assures you of highest quality engravings at lowest cost. We do not sell this book—we merely lend it without charge to the staff of each publication for which we make the engravirigs. in addition to the general assistance of this hand-book, we give you also our direct and individual co-operation- Stafford Engravings and Stafford Co-operation will help to as¬ sure the success of any college or school publication STAFFORD ENGRAVING COMPANY Artists, Designers, Engravers Century Building, Indianapolis, Ind. FREE! This is the book that we loan without charge to the staff of every publication for which we make the en¬ gravings.
