They maketh me lie down in the cradle of knowledge, and they leadeth me by all temptations, lest by chance I cribbeth in t'eXams. They Watcheth my conduct for fear of a ttrough house, and kicketh me out for the school's sake. Yea, though I Walk through the pathway of ignorance, I fear no evil, for they are with me. Witll the rule and the rod they comfort me. They bawleth me out and giveth me a flogging in the presence of mine enemies. They anointeth my head with books till my brain runneth over. Surely theY will Hunk me and their presence shall follow and haunt me all the days of my life. I shall dwell in the great house of Knowledge for ever and ever. Amen. FXQQLW fi ? X.

Now how I ever came to get here I don't know for I certainly l1ad all the bad luck anybody could have. Had a. rabbitls foot, too, but that didn't seem to help much. Hflee, but I must have been a green one when I was a Freshman. I remember the first day I came here. I thought this was about the finest place on earth. I found out different though in a few days. That was when I had a little business call from a few of the Sophomore boys. Really an entertaining call, too, tfor them.j I felt like I had fallen into a volcano. But anyway I took off my loud sox and that orange and black sweater and quit asking questions of the upper class- men. Wllhen came the exams, those instruments of torture applied by the teachers at the end of each semester. Wliew, they were hard. But I got by somehow, pity plea, sympathy act, sob story and all that, you know. Then I had hardly gotten over that one till here came another, had me on the jump but somehow I passed that one. ttrllhen I was a Sophomore. You know how that is, you get that ttsweet sixteen and never been kissed feeling. Wear loud sox and .1 rah-rah hat. I got to be quite a ladies' man, too. VVinked at a Iunior girl and nearly got my head knocked oft by her Senior fellow. 'llrierl out for football team. Piggie was playin' then. He set on my head just once and then I decided football wasnlt my game. Welit in for basketball, then somebody smashed me in the eye. C'ouldn't see for about a week. I decided to quit that. 'llhen I tried out for track team. Some fellow running behind me spiked me and I had to hobble around on crutches. I decided then that baseball was the game I was cut out for. l tried out for catcher, got. too close to the bat. You know thc rest. In the ineantiine I tlunked in Algebra and liatin and had lu study all sunnner. Then l caine back, took the exanis over and got to be a Junior. 'WVell, here's where every teacher got down on ine. Played a little music box in study hall and got sent up to Seaton. Had a little inter- view with Miss Pritchard on etiquette in the study hall. Sassed Miss Johnston in Geometry and got another dinie lecture. Got to hollering about ring athletics and flunked in Physics. VVouldn't join Mrs. Allen's drainatic club of misled niortals and got canned out of Latin. Got along in History all right until I stuck a hat pin in the kid in front of ine, then it was all off. Even Sunnners got down on ine for smoking in front of the school building. That was too niuch of a good thing Then I flunked in three subjects in the finals. Ilad a little row at home, so I packed iny duds and flew the coop. Finally I got tired of doing the .Ianies lllads IIow act. and came back holne. Father and I gave a little song and dance stunt to the accornpanient of a black snake whip. Mother cried and went on and made ine feel bad. Started back to school, niade up work and got along pretty well. Tried to hold nie up for a picture in that nuisance, the Oipi, and when I wouldn't pay they called nie chicken. IVell, I might have been but I had a few feathers besides pin feathers. Then came the exains and thank the Lord I passed. I have to thank Hint for no other person could have helped ine. So here I ani a Senior. fwaused three or four explosions in chemical lab, turned a lnouse loose in study hall, went with the girls and tried to boss the student. council and passed the tirst finals with ease tliaiil Balked on buying class pins, had one interview with the school hoard and carried on in general. So here I ani facing either my Austerlitz or iny IVaterloo in these last finals. By the way, it' you donlt know about those two nanies ask Miss IValker. x EDITH WADDELL Still water runs deep.

Wl1e11 first the class of 113 entered into the halls of the M. H. S. it was found that 13 extra seats were needed in each class room to seat them. The second day of school the noble Seniors were shocked to find that 13 Freshmen were brave enough to t'sass them. Thirteen days after school opened 13 Freshman boys attacked the Soph boys and Whipped them, in a hot contest which lasted 13 seconds by the clock, by knocking out 13 of their best men. It is Well to mention that 13 seats were broken in this fight. On the 13th day of January 119105 the faculty deemed it best to give 13 Freslnnon tlieirpassports and release them from the duties of the M. H. S. At the end of the year four times 13 Freshmen were made Soph- omores for the coming year. Only three times 13 enrolled as Sophomores. One of the most im- portant events of the year was when the business manager of the 'tOipi had 13 fits because 13 Sophomores refused to pay for their pictures. On the 13th day of January t1911l two Sophomore boys gave to the M. H. S. its first paper. On the 13th day of September 119115 the class of l13 held a meeting in room 13 and elected the staff for the Oipi.', Ideas for the tftlipi came in lots of 13 which drove the editor-in-chief mad and for 13 days he was locked in padded cell No. 13 at the county jail, which is 13 blocks from the office of the t'Oipi.

Among the notable Works of literature of the present century are the following volume: written by '14 classmen: A Dream of Socrates, or the Philosophy of Hydrophobiaj' by Elmer Vanlilleet, is the most notable among these. This interesting volume has enjoyed a great sale, having been printed in three de-luxe editions. Probably the greatest inducement for its sale is its sleep producing qualities. Lloyd Elrod. President. VVhy I Ain Not Like Bryan, an autobiographical Work by the late Lloyd Heifner is a very entertaining spasm. It contains many very strong and convincing reasons for the author's statement. 'tTWentieth Century Adventures of a Prehistoric Specimen, by Robert Healing, is one of the most thrilling novels in history. It is the realistic theme which holds the interest, the story being the adven tures of the author and his twin brothers. THE MUSICAL WORLD.

Gosh, 1 but itls great to be a Iilreshman. Wl1QI1 I went in the study hall this morning all the Junior and Senior boys yelled something about raw oysters and ma. But I can't help it if my ma comes to school with me the iirst day. September 19-Them doggoned Juniors, and Seniors needn't get so cute. We had si, picnic out to Crystal Lake and the whole blamed bunch come out there. I'll be hanged if I'm going to pay my nickel and let them fools have all the fun. September 25-17111 going to slam some- body in tl1e head if they don't leave me alone. As I was comin' home this evening a bunch of Sophs paddled me. I'm going to beat up the whole darn bunch. Pa said I could. January 122-I've flunked in two subjects now and the old man beat me for it about an hour ago. Hang them stuck up old maids anyhow. Pa said I couldn't have no new spring suit and then I can't go see my girl. Wayne Mc-Quai-y, President. January 31-Got another chance at the exams and passed so I'n1 still a Freshie. February 21-You ought to see the collar old Alex Miller's got on. Some of the boys said he was married but I don't believe it. I clon't see how any self-respectin' girl would have him.

HI can never hope to be popular and accomplished like Violet Meyers. Look what a hit she made at the last class entertainment. I couldn't give a reading in public eve 'a if I had the ability, I should die of fright. I suppose I'm too childish. I can't help going into ecstacies over a picnic in the woods or a botany tramp and such things. Violet likes them, too, but she never gets tlustered or excited and is always as fresh and smooth at the return as when she starts out. I never get in without a torn dress or scratched hands or some species of insect life which I want to study and eventu- ally drive the girls away from my room until it is removed. Violet screams when she sees me touch a grasshopper or a caterpillar, but I suppose that it is lady-like and I'll never gain any favor until I go and do likewise. She ended in such ai tragic tone and with such a woebegone ox- pression on her face that her friend Kate burst into peals of merry laughter. Barbara gazed at her with a hurt look. t'You can just stop laughing. I speak in all seriousness. Listen to what I have to say and pass your more mature judgment on it. Kate was one year ahead of her in the university preparatory school which they were attending. 'tYou know as well as I do, began Barbara, ttthat every girl in my class has some special talent. Mary sings divinely, June is au accomplished musician, Phyllis embroiders beautifully, Maurine has had two of her poems published, they were just in her home paper, but that's something. Nan has no especial accomplishment, but she can do anything from making fudge to planning a reception gown, and Violet -but she's in your class. You are better prepared to sing her praises than I. I '4Oh, you old grumblerf' exclaimed Kate, ttyou certainly can do something. I don't think you 've told all of it anyhow. How about staying here with Jeane the day she turned her ankle, when the rest of us were down at the bay, or picking up our things after us so the dean won't get us for leaving our rooms untidy, or spending so much time coaching Marjory on her German. that you barely saved your- self on the History quiz? If Marjory hadn't had some help she would have been complete- ly lost in her quiz, and I did get through in History so I'm satisiied. And besides, I don't eall it a tale11t to do things for people that l'd like for them to do for me. But that is- Oh, I know what you 're going to say, interrupted Barbara. L'I've heard that often enough. I want to do something worth while. Run along to your room now like a good girl. I want to meditate awhile on that debate we must prepare for tomorrow. ' Kate went down the corridor to l1er room and Barbara sat down to gather material for her paper. In a few minutes her roommate, Catherine Bates, came in, brimming over with news. 'tHave you heard the latest, you old worker? Put that old book down and I'll tell you about it. W9,1'Q going to have some new equip- ment for our gymnasium and guess how we're going to. get it? The upper classes are going to give Sl13.lIQS17G3I'6,S 'As You Like It,' she continued, before Barbara had time to make a guess. That means we'll get to help. Oh, I can't help! exclaimed Barbara in dismay. VVell, don 't get frightened yet, Barbie. Maybe they'll compose a silent part for you. Now, stop your teasing. You k11ow I'd like to help well enough. f'Yes, I'd like to help, too. Did you know that I left the room the other night when Mab was in here for the express purpose to avoid helping her with that History outline?' No, I supposed you were going to see the dean about some! thing. But I CIOl17t blame you now that I do know. You need all your time to work on that artiele you're writing for the star edition of the 7 sehool paper. Now, let 's get to work. 1 promised Prof. Dalton that I would help him list those grades in the morning so I must rise early. The next afternoon plans for the play were begun. Parts were assigned, costumes planned and dates for rehearsals set. Barbara stopped at the first rehearsal on her way from elass. She looked on and listened until she eould stand it no longer. The stage manager might be able to manage a track team or a baseball squad, but he eould not manage a set of amateur players. 'llhey were arguing about where they should stand, at what side of the stage they should make their entrant-es, paying no attention to their own part, but telling everybody else how they should say theirs until the manager's head was in a whirl. Just here Barbara took a hand. '4He1'e, Walter, let me help you. t'an't you see what's wrong? Girls, girls, do let's get to business! Stop arguing about your dress trimmings and think about your parts. You give them with an Ie don't-want-to-but-I-suppose-I-must air that spoils the whole effect. Now, try it again. Just be natural. The next rehearsal was more successful. When it was over Barbara hurried back to the dormitory to prepare her lesson. As she passed down the corridor she stopped at June's door to get a book she had promised her. Sl1e found Nan, the other occupant of the room, curled up on the bed, sobbing as if her heart would break. t Why, what's troubling you, Nanniett' asked Barbara. Milli, everything, sobbed Nan. HI flunked again in English recitation today and Ford told me if I didn't get to work I couldn't pass. I thought I certainly could get my lesson for tomorrow, but I had to go to rehearsal and I simply must get that Botany note- book finished tonight. t'Well, you look as though you were trying to get something finished, said Barbara. f'Get up from there and come up to my room. Maybe I can help you between times. Barbara's 'tbetween times proved to be most of the time, for Nan was sadly behind in her work, but she consoled herself by the fact that she was not in the play and had more time for study than Nan had. And Nan was not the only one who needed help. All through the week before the great event Barbara's services were in demand. Difficult translations puzzling problems and weary bodies-Barbara's room was full of girls from morning until night. She was the power behind the play, and the actors realized itgbut when they tried to thank her she always stopped them, saying' that she wanted to do a little toward equipping the Hgymfl The play was to be given Friday evening at eight o'clock. A dress rehearsal was held in the afternoon with Barbara in attendance, encouraging slow ones, helping shift scenery and being a jack of all trades generally. Wlieii she arrived at the dressing rooms at seven she found every- thing in confusion. The girls had thrown their costumes off to rush to the dining hall, and now in their excitement they could not find anything. '4Barbara, what did I do with my sheep crook? Wliere's Ganymede's cap '? t'Come help me with-'I No, she must help me first, I'm in the first- ttOh, Barbara, please go over these lines with me once more. Such were a few of the questions and requests which assailed her as she entered the room and continued throughout the performance. She was stage manager, ladies' maid and prompter. All went well until the entrance of Celia and Ros-iliud in Act l, Scene HI, when just as Violet, who was playing Rosalind, started to go on the stage, a mouse ran from one corner of the room and stopped directly in front of her, bewildered by the bright light and voices. She stopped with a frightened scream and the other girls ran to the op- posite side-of the room. Barbara, who had not noticed the mouse, ad monished her to hurry or the people would get restless. 44011, but I can't with this in front of me, stammered Violet. Then Barbara saw. In less time than it takes to tell it shc had slipped l1er hand into a glove, bounded across the room and sent the otfending little creature flying out of the window. All went off smoothly after this and when the last scene was staged Barbara sank wearily into a chair and closed her eyes. Wlieln the applause had died away she heard someone speaking and sat up with a start, when she heard her own name. lt was Kate's voice and she was saying something about Barbara Castle's help making the play a success. I wonder why she's telling that,'l said Barbara, drowsily, to herself. 'tl helped them all I could, but that was nothing to being in the play and being able to do things. But her friends and schoolmates evidently thought dilferently, and cheered and called until the recent actors, now just classmates again, carried her bodily to the front of the stage and three rousing cheers were giyen for Barbara Castle, ttthe girl without a talent. -XJQQ E The Best Man Howard Miller 'tDavid, I'm up against it, said Harry W3.1'd8H, as he came tramping into the room. David Murphy, Harry's roommate, looked up from the book he was reading in surprise and waited for his chum to continue. 'tThere was 95300 stolen from Dean Prescott last night, Harry continued, and I'm accused of taking it. John Collins with one of his admirers, swore they saw me coming out of the office window about two o'clock. Then a handkerchief with my initial on it was found on the floor by the desk. Harry buried his face in his hands for a moment and then con- tinued: And the worst part about it is that the news has got to Winifreiol Clemmans, whom I thought would surely believe me innocent, and she cut me dead on the street today. Then I received a note from her say- ing that I could find somebody else to take to the Senior hop and that I. need not ca.ll again. David knew, as Kline was a military school, that Harry would lose the shoulder straps of a captain, also he would lose the athletic letters he had won in baseball, football, basketball and track, and last of all he would be expelled, unless he could prove himself innocent. 'tIt doesn't seem possible that they could blame it on you, said David, going over and placing his hand on Harry's shoulder, 'tbut no matter what happens I believe you are innocent. Thank you, Davie, said Harry, huskily, HI thought I could de- pend on you. ttllm not likely to forget what you have done for me, replied David. Harry gathered up his belongings and left. David knew that hi- must be going to the guard house to stay until the day of his trial. After his chum had left David walked over to the deanls office and was warmly welcomed by that person. HI hate to believe your friend guilty said the dean, ttbut all our evidence points in his direction. Of course, I believe he's innocent, Dean, replied David, Hbut l came here to get permission to work on this case. I think it will re- quire a great deal of work away from the school. 'tYou have my permission and if there is anything that I can help you with in this case, I will be glad to do it. I am very glad that Harry has such a valuable friend. And as to the evidence in the case, I will give it to you now. HI received 95300 from a student, who was behind with his dues, and placed it in the desk drawer and locked the drawer. It never oc- curred to me that there would be any chance of it's being stolen, so li left it there three or four days and neglected to deposit it in the bank. John Collins and Harry were with me at the time I received the money. After the robbery a handkerchief was found on the Hoor by my desk and it had Harry's initial on it. If the initial had not been noticed we would not have suspected Harry. Dean Prescott, do you mind if I examine the drawer where the money was at the time of the robbery I? asked David. Certainly not, replied the Dean. E David began to examine the drawer and presently gave a low cry. He brought out a small piece of wax and showed it to the Dean. I must confess I fail to see the connection of that piece of wax with the robbery, remarked the Dean. t'Wliy', began David, excitedly, it shows in the first place thai the thief had a key to this drawer made from a wax impression. The Dean nodded his head in a way that signified he understood. Dean, asked David quickly, did you ever connect John Collins with the robbery ? UNO, David, I can't say that Iihavef' t'Wlien is Harry's trial, Dean? 'tIt has been decided to bring it up before the Student Council just before the Junior-Senior entertainments. I That will be in about a week, said David, thoughtfully. HI' must bid you good day and get to work. I have-n't very much time. VVhen once outside of the office David took a small piece of wax from his pocket. Now, for the development of my theoryf' he murmured to him self. He then went to the locksmith to have a key that he had broken repaired. The locksmith was busy and told David to call for the key the next morning. David then went to his room to study over the case. ln the Iirsi place what was .Iohn Collins doing roving around at that time of night ? It would he easy for him to get hold of one of Harry's liandliercliiefs. There were plenty of opportunities. Both were on the ball team and Collins could have taken it to wipe the perspiration from his face as was the custom of the players. Or he could have taken it from :1 1 . ..A, locker before practice or after a game, maybe he had bought some like Harry's. He was deep in thought the next morning, when the door opened and George Andrews, another of Harry's close friends, came in. Wake up, old man,', shouted George. David wakened suddenly from his reverie and explained his thoughts to George. George waited patiently until David had finished and then asked: VVhy Collins? No particular reason, laughed David, just a hunch, that'sall. But, he continued, seriously, HI hope to prove somebody besides Harry guilty and it would give me more satisfaction to prove Collins guiltyf, You can count on me, said George. Thank you, George. I see that Harry has some friends when he is in need. They went around to see Harry and to cheer him up. Then they went to the locksmith's to get the key David had left. HI don't suppose you make many keys from wax impressions now, David remarked, carelessly, to the locksmith. HBusiness in that way is a little slow, replied the locksmith, 'tbut I made one the other day for a college chap. HI expect that was my chum, said David, a tall boy with dark hair and dark eyes? I didn't notice his eyes and he was shorter than you. He had funny colored hair. Don't think I ever saw hair like that before. David paid for the repaired key and the two boys went out of the shop. t'That must have been Collins, said George, Hfor anybody could tell that peculiar shade of hair. David nodded: That's step number one on the theory that Collins is guilty. About this time they saw Collins across the street and George called to him. But Collins, knowing David and George to be friends of Harry, hesitated, but finally came across the street. HWhat do you want? he asked. Did you see Harry coming out of the office? asked David. h Collins thought it would be wisest to answer this question, so he said: Yes , I have no right to ask you this question, but what were you do- ing out at that time of night, or rather morning? asked David. Oh, replied John, lightly, my two cousins from Newport cami to see me and had to leave on 1:30 train. So I asked Bill Roberts to go with us to the station. As we were coming back we saw Hurry couiinu' out of the office window. As he said this he pulled out his handkerchief and with it SUIll'C'- thing came out and fluttered to the ground. Collins did not notice this but David did. HI guess Harry must be guilty,', said David. That's what I've been trying to tell you, replied George. Collins heard this with satisfaction. He thought David and George believed Harry innocent. Now at last he was square with' Harry-Harry who had taken his place as half back on the football team, short stop on the baseball 11i11e and had even cut him out with lVinifred. I must be moving, fellows, sait'4Collins. Ta-ta. Fooled him that time, muttured George with satisfaction. lVhen Collins had turned the corner, David stooped down and picked up the something that Collins had dropped. lt proved to be a handkerchief with H3l'1'j',S initial on it. In the folds of the handker- chief was a small piece of paper evidently torn f1'0111 a note or a letter which read: OON CAFE My ffl, Mm fffaarw nf W4 UA! pA.f-e M mmda, ,if fin! lllf Zur 4, mrwll Qlrkff , firlf George and David tried to figure it out, but looked up without any clearer knowledge. Beats me, said George. blame here, said David. 'tSay, come over after supper and we'll work on this, saif, Da vi d on parting. Sure, replied George. That night in David's room they again took up the mystery oi the scrap of paper. 'tIt looks to me like this paper came from a gambling den, a poo' hall, a saloon or maybe that low tavern over on the hill, said David thoughtfully. Gee, you must be a regular Sherlock Holmes, said George. 'tIt is not hard to see that. This kind of paper is usually used in a place like those. I have seen enough of it to know. Before I met Harry I was a frequent visitor to these places. Harry cime Flon: about the time I was getting in bad and persuaded me to quit and I've kept straight ever since, said David in return. y David began to examine the paper more closely and saw in fin' print at the top of the scraps: -OON CAFE. See, George, he said, that must have come from that new cafe called the Moon over yonder on the hill. It's a small cafe on th' lower floor with a gambling den in the second story. I guess we will have to go to town tonight, won't we? asked George. Yes, replied David. In going to town they took a short path which led through zz wood and upon entering the woods they both stopped. They had heard voices in the woods. t'Have you that money? they heard a hoarse voice ask. Yes, I have it, and now I am through with you for good, saic. a voice which they both recognized as that of Collins. You might win it all back tonight. Yes, or lose more, replied Collins. HA gambling table is a place of honor. t'No doubt about it, replied Collins with sarcasm. 'tYou have made use of that honor to make me steal , t'Just tonight. UNO, Ralston, I'm through with you, said Collins, as he turned and walked off in the direction of the academy. Ralston came out of the woods just after him and Walked rapidly f I toward town. There is another witness in our case, said David, when Ralston had gone. HAnd a good one, too, replied George. That's enough for tonight, let's go back to the school. The next morning David was around early to see Harry. 'tSay, Davie, have you anything new? asked Harry, anxiously. V Sure, replied David, and also a few witnesses who will fre.- you from the charge. George and I have found the guilty man. Who? David leaned over and Whispered in Harry's ear. t'What would prompt him to lay it on me? asked Harry. t'To cover up his own tracks, I suppose. They talked over the case for some time and then David left. David then went to the Clemmans mansion. This is the call I hate, he muttered to himself, as he ascended the step-A of the tlemmins m'nsion and rang the bell. The door was opened and he sent in his card. He was then ushered into the lilirary and in a short time VVinifred came in. Good morning. Mr. Murphy, said IVinnifred. . They talked in a casual wav and after at few ininntel David 'iurned to the purpose of his call. Miss Cleinmans, I suppose you :ire surprised at my calling' on you this morning. But as you know there was S3041 stolen from the Dean of the school and Harry Vt7arden is aeeused of taking' it hy the testimony of .Iohn Collins and a friend. I believe my friend innocent and have taken up his case. I h-ive leen working' on it for a few days and I think I have some convincing evidence as to the real thief. May I tell you of the case? Yes, sir. David explained the case clearly. When he had finished Miss Vlemmans turned to hin. and said: I am ashamed to think I have believed Harry guilty. I will never speak to John Collins again. 'tIt would not be very hard under the circumstances to believe him guilty. But for the sake of the development of the case I want you to treat or appear to treat John Collins as if you knew nothing more about the affair. After David explained how this would help him out she finally consented. I will Write a note to Harry now, she said. No, Miss Clemmans, I think it would not he hest to do this. I will tell him that you believe him innocent. That will cheer him up wonderfully. I see Harry has a very good friend,'l said Winnifred. David excused himself and went to hear the good news to Harry. The next day every student of the Kline M. A. was out to the trial and there Was not a one in the whole student body, with the exception of David and George, who believed Harry innocent. The judges in this case were students, the jurors studentsg in fact every part of the entire case was conducted by students. David was conducting Harry's ease as Harry's lawyer. Harry was brought before the court and plead not guilty. First John Collins gave his testimony. Then Bill Roberts was called upon the witness stand. His story was identical with that of Collins. Harry then was allowed to give his testimony. He said he had not left his room all that evening, but it was easily to be seen that his testimony was not believed. The locksmith was called by David as a witness for the defense. UDid a student have a key made about a week ago from a wax impression ? asked David. Yes, sir. t4Was it this one? pointing to Harry. No.,' t'Cast your eye over the room and see if you can recognize him among the spectators. ttThat's the one back there, pointing to Collins. The locksmith was excused and Dean was called. He testified that the bills were of the following denomination: HTwenty S1510 bills, eight 955 bills and three 5520 bills. 'tDid you notice anything peculiar about the bills, Deantt' asked David. I did notice one, replied the Dean. Hlt was on top and had a blot on it. The Dean was dismissed and Dick Ralston was called. Did John Collins pay you some money in Newton's Woods the other night? asked David. 'tYes. Was one of these bills marked T? LCN0 77 'tWliat did he pay you this money fortt' A gambling debt. t'Did he say anything about stealing them? He said, 'you made ine steal.' W The next witness was Walter Thomas, proprietor of the College Inn and a close listed man. 'tDid John Collins give a dinner for some friends at your place not long ago? asked David. Yes, sir. 77 f'Did you notice any mark on the bill he handed you? I noticed there was a blot on the edge of it similar to the one Mr. Prescott described. How did you happen to notice the bills being marked? A student passed a bad bill on me once and since then I have always looked closely at all the bills I receive. All the students smiled at this for they knew of the stinginess of the landlord and of the trick that had been played on him. He was excused from the stand and George Andrews called. He told of David's and his experience in the case. The case was then given to the jury for their decision. After being out a short period they brought in a verdict of not guilty. The room was in an uproar. All the students of Kline, the num- ber being one hundred, were cheering for Harry and David. When they looked for Collins it was found that he had left town rather than face the punishment. When Harry got back to his room he found a note awaiting him, the contents of which seemed very satisfactory. After supper Harry dressed hurriedly and went out. David did not ask where his chum was going. He knew. Harry ascended the steps of the Clemmans mansion and rang the bell. Winnifred met him at the door, not waiting for a servant. Oh, Harry, she said, 4'I'm so sorry- 'tPerfectly all right, said Harry. HI've got something on my mind more important than that.', So they passed on into the drawing room. It was late that night when Harry came in and he found David reading a book. Harry was looking radiant. You must have found something that pleased you, growled David, looking up from his book. You bet,', said Harry, 'Land you are to be our best man in a few months. 5 -4 x' L. ' ' rdf M 1. I lin' , 'Cn I , , . r I 1 ,f f .

Just before the opening of the season the team was picked. At this time John Pile was elected captain and William Miller was made man- ager. The boys worked hard, but on account of our 11ot having a gym- nasium they were not able to schedule any games. At the beginning of the second semester through the courtesy ol the management of the Blees Military Academy the team was allowed to use their gymnasium for practice. Then the work began in earnest. Seven games were played with various teams and although our team had no coach and was inexperienced it played in good form. The team for the season of 1912 is the first boys' basket ball team of the Macon High school. But here's hoping that next year our boys will be interested enough in basket ball to form a winning team. Lineup. Burney Epperson, Referee Don Patterson, Forward Roscoe Pile, Center Wm. Miller, Forward John Pile, Guard T Wayne McQuary, Forward Edgar Burkhart, Guard Chas. Dorrel, Forward Clarence Miller, Forward 6 Football About the second week of school the boys of Macon High held a meeting in the interest of football. It was not long until there were about twenty boys trying out and practicing every day, and the pros- pects for a good team were excellent. But as the season grew nearer the interest seemed to wane and for dilferent reasons the boys began to withdraw from the squad, until only six were left. The football was then lost for several weeks. There was no organized football team in Macon High last season for several reasonsg the main one, a lack of support on the part of the school as a whole. But in spite of all these hindrances the boys had the courage and spirit to get together and play two games. They should be commended for the grit they showed in trying to or- ganize a team in spite of all the disc.ouragement.s. Witli the material we have in our school we should have a football team equalled by none of the surrounding High schools. But to do this we must have the support of the whole school. So next year let us have the football spirit in the school as well as in the boys who play. Support the team and make Macon High the football champions of North Missouri. f Base Ball The boys interested in baseball held a meeting February 23 and elected Charles Dorrel captain and Clarence Miller manager. The squad has been practicing when the Weather permitted for the past month. We expect to see a good baseball team from Macon High this season, although several of the boys have never played before. Most of the games are to be played away from Macon. There are about seven games scheduled. We go to press Wishing the team the best of luck and many victories. The line up is as follows: Howard Miller, C. ' Harry Holvey, S. S. Boyd Abrams, P. Elmer Gieselman, L. F. Edgar Burkhart, lst base Wm. Miller, C. F. Clarence Miller, 2nd base Roscoe Pile, R. F. Charles Dorrel, 3rd base John Pile and John Kerns, Subs Z -:mg :I -, J The Tiger The Tiger was founded March 10, 1910, by Chester Chope and John Rilev, two members of the class of '13, It was published weekly during the remainder of the school year. Witli the second issue the size of the Tiger was increased from two columns to three columns, this being the size of the present publica- tion. Beginning with the school term of 1911-12 the Tiger was continued with the following staii: Editor-in-chief, Chester Chopeg associate editor, Miss Alma Wallce1'5 business manager, George Holvey, literarv editor, John Pile, athletic editor, Chas. Dorrel. At the end of the first semester the Tiger was discontinued, but was re-established several weeks later. At a meeting of the boys' Student Council the following staff was elected: Editor-in-chief, Joseph Stone, associate editor, Will Miller, contributing editor, Ctelia Mosty, athletic editor, Chas. Dorrel, circulation manager, Joe Love, business manager, Edgar Burkhart, faculty editor, Miss Alma Wal,lzer. The Tiger is a newsy little paper and the High school students should give it their heartiest support. The History of the 0ipi. In the Junior Physics class, on February 28, 1909, the idea of edit- ing a year Look for the Macon High school was first suggested. It was put before the class of '10 by Miss Ora Virginia Fox, the instructor in Physics. The idea was received with great enthusiasm and a meeting of the class was held. At this meeting Gran Goodson, president of the class, was instructed to appoint the staff and begin the work of editing the year book. To relieve himself of this duty Goodson appointed Harry Reed editor-in-chief, and gave him the power to select the other members of the staff. The following staff was appointed: Harry Recd, editor-in-chief, Charles Collier, business manager, Helen Williams, as- sociate editor, Ogee Bledsoe, literary editor, Gwynette Mitchell, art editor, Gran Goodson, athletic editor. After two months of hard work and worry the first volume of the Macon High school 'tOipi', was placed before the public. The queer name, the Oipi,'l was given the book by Harry Reed, the name being formed from the numerals 1910 reversed. This title has remained with the book in honor and memory of its originators. As the first book was edited and published by the Junior class the honor of editing the succeeding year book has fallen to the Junior class. The first book proved to be a success and thus it was firmly es- tablished as a high school organ. At the beginning of the school year of 1909-1910 the class of '11 elected the following staff to compile the second volume, Joseph li. Patton, editor-in-chief, Leonard Patton, business manager, Faye Gross, associate editor, Lucile Howe, literary editor, Maud Hyatt, art editor: Raymond Myers, athletic editor. This book also proved a success and was a credit to the class of '11, As was the custom the class of '12 selected their staff for the book of '11. This staff was composed of: Bryan Brown, editor-in-chief, William H. Miller, business manager, Catherine Pohlman, associate editor, Edith Waddel, literary editor, Mabel Zollman, art editor, Edgar Burkhart, athletic editor. This edition held many new ideas and was a very creditable volume. This staff differed from the preceding ones in having one of their number married. CE 9 And now we come to this, the fourth volume of the Macon High school 't0ipi, published by the class of 'l'1. The stat? of this bool: being: Don D. Patterson, editor-in-chiefg Chester L. Chope, business manager, Alta Stacy, associate editorg Reba Raines, literary editorg Otelia Mosty, art editor, R. Virchow Powell, athletic editor. Although this book has had the example of the preceding volumes it contains many new and unique ideas. The HUipi has far surpassed many high school year books and may be favorably compared with some college annuals in itsg standard of excellence. VVhile the preceding three Volumes have not been Works of literary perfection they show the genius of their com- pilers. The future of the Oipi is bright and it should remain the otiicial organ of the Macon High school throughout its existence. No Junior class should discontinue its publication for it is one of the best fruits of the life and work of the High school. as I. W L, ,w The Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club was organized by Miss Carhart, instructor of music, in the year of 1911. Since that time it has been enlarged and improved until now it is a firmly established organization of tho High school. All the members have good voices and have proven themselves of value in assisting in the social functions and entertain.- mcnts of the school. The membership is as follows: 7 Tenor: lst bass: 2nd bass: John Pile Howard Miller William Miller 1 aughn Gross Robert Mitchell Clarence Miller John Tuggle Elmer Gieselman Orr Reed Clyde Erwin Harry Bachstein Edgar Burkhart John Riley Harry Holvey Virchow Powell Frank Cook Joe Love The Girls' Glee Club This organization known as the Girls' Glee Club was founded by Miss Carhart, instructor of music, in February, 1911. Anthough the stability of this organization was doubtful, their accomplishments have firmly established them as a permanent club of the Macon High school. The quality of their work shows the careful training and the talent ol' their instructor. The membership is as follows: Alta Stacy, Virgie Hyatt, Mae Brock, Iva Jobson, Mabel Erwin, Emily Franklin, Lettie Bryant, Faun Miller, Adnee Wright, Elizabeth Brown, Vera Miller, Reba Raines, Floy Morrow, Edith Miller and Lydia Simpson. I I R 1 1 1 5 The Student ouncil ' The organization known as the Student Council has two di- visions: The Boys' Student Council and the Girls' Student Council. The tirst organized was the boys' council. The idea of having self-government was first advanced bv Mr. Dorsey, instructor in Physics, to the boys of the Senior class. A meeting of all the boys of the High school was held and the proposi- tion of organizing a Boys' Student Council was placed before them. The idea was received with enthusiasm and as the faculty approved, the boys began the work of organizing the council. A ccmiuittee was elected to draw up a constitution. This committee was composed of Edgar Burkhart, Don D. Patterson and John Riley, later Burney Epperson was elected to fill the place vacated by Riley. After the constitution had been drawn up and approved, an elec- tion of otiicers was held. The following officers were elected: Edgar Burkhart, president, Chester Chope, vice president, John Pile, secre- tary, Don D. Patterson, treasurer, Burnev Epperson, marshal. After this election a meeting of the ditferent classes was held and the fole lowing jurymen elected, Senior, Paul Reese, Joe Love, Junior, Virchow Powell, Clarence Miller, Sophomore, Taylor Sandison, Will Summers, Freshman, Will Etz, John Kearns. During the time that the boys were organizing their council the girls also were well pleased with the idea of self government and had held a meeting and appointed a committee of one from each class to draw up their constitution. The members of the committee were: Senior, Edith Wafldell, Junior. Gertrude Jobson, Sophomore, Adnee Vilright, Freshman, Dorothy Doneghy. After due consideration and careful drafting and revision, this constitution was presented to the girls of the High school and was adopted by them. An election of oflicers was then held and the following otiicers elected, Ethel Moore, president: Edith VVaddell, vice president, La Veta Sneary, secretary, Opal Wallfei', treasurer: Dorothy Doneghy, marshal. Later the following jurors were elected from the different classes: Senior, Ruth liove, Edith Relsher, Junior, Reba Raines, Alta Stacy, Sophomore, Elsie Reed, Grace Moody, ldreshman, Mary Archer, Agnes Rrown. Although at first these organizations were considered as ex-A periments, they have firmly established themselves as permanent or- ganizations. They promote an interest in the welfare and the conduct of the student and serve to bring the instructor and student into closer harmony. Not only does it promote this one spirit but material- ly helps the growth of every other kindred spirit desirable in lligl' school life. lt also gives the student a knowledge of parliamentary rules of order, that is, of how to address an assembly etc., and do this correctly. lf this were the only practical help of' the councils it would be enough Io justify their being made permanent organizations. , 5. ness. 6. oratory. 7. 8. 11. 12. 13 14 15 18.

Now the first thing to do in proposing, young men, is to get some nice girl to propose to. Then go around and find out by inquiring which is the easiest jeweler in town. Then go there and buy a ring on the installment plan, say iifteen cents down and fifty cents a week. Now after all this has been accomplished you are ready to make your proposal. By the way it isn't best to tell your friends or the High school faculty that you are going to propose to a girl, as it is bad on your nerves and your grades. Now go out some evening to the girl's house and sit conversing in the usual way until about nine o'clock. Then take a look around to see if any of the folks are near. If not, approach the intended girl and say: HAin't you my little honey cootsum? This is sure to get her interested. Take another look around for the girl's folks. For if they're not up now they soon will be if you keep this up. Now, kneel at the feet of the girl and say this: f'On this dainty occasion, fair maiden, I cast myself at your most ostentatious and auspicious feet, and beseech of you your humble hand in marriage to my beautiful self. Long years have I labored for you and you are the only girl I've ever met. The old man will keep us till I am president of the United States, so what do I care. Wliat sayest thou, oh lovely queen, apple of my eye, heart's delight, etc.? After delivering this most heartrending speech, duck and make a fifty yard dash for the door. For it's a cinch if the old man was not listening that phrase the old man will keep us, will sure bring him like a Kansas cyclone. After this has been delivered refrain from visiting the girl in her home, and unless you receive an answer to your proposal by mail you are jilted. Wisliing you success, I am L. J.

As a general rule the poetry is so slushy that it gets her feet wet. And you know girls are like cats, they donlt like to have their feet wet. Donlt let such an insult throw you off. Remember that Ha fool and his honey are soon mated. If you have all the charms that you state she certainly can- not resist them long. Jose. You say your fellow is fickle. Well, the best way to put the blocks to him is to have father listen in some night. That's a sure cure, he'd go through tire and water for you now. Doc M. No, it is not customary for one so young to marry. But if your father or her father can keep you both it is some times very ad- vantageous. But if you still wish to marry her, a study of my article on proposing should be very helpful. Poadie. I am sorry you can't get a fellow, but then maybe you are luckier without one. One thing is certain that every time you want to go to church or any place you haven't a mere man hangin? around. Dick. I am certainly sorry for you that you have a rival as sometimes they are very expensive. If you can't outspend him while out with the girl my advice is to Hbeat the fire out of him when you are alone. This might be done in school as your position on the stu- dent council staff would protect you from punishment. Iva. It is certainly a shame you are bothered with poetry, but the best thing to do with such ttlovely queen stuff is to receive it and keep still. Donlt show it to your friends as they may become too in- terested in your affairs. If he can't take the hint sling him the mitt. Joe L. From your letter your case is very much like that of Dick so I will refer you to that answer. Dorothy D. It is certainly annoying to have to decide between two rivals, but you must if the circumstances demand. The best way to do this to take tl1e one you like least. Then flip a coin and say HI-leads I win, tails you lose. This will be a very satisfactory solu- tion of your problem. Fisher. It isn't customary for a young man to have more than three girls and then I would advise you not to talk too much about them when out seeing a lady friend. Don't mind father, he's just an old gag. Grace. I cannot tell you how to keep the hair blonde, but will re- fer you to the beauty department. It is not customary to marry so young.

Dear Cousin Hank: I take my pen in hand, to write you a few lines, to let you know that I am well and hope you are enjoyin' the same blessin'. VVell, I'ye tuck maw an paw ter a football game. I had a terrible time a gettin' maw inside because she heerd 'em a yellin' an it scared her. Said it sounded like th' iggorotes she seen at th' fair, but paw got th' tickets, an' I sort of shoved her along an' we got her in. My, I hed a awful good time. I wish't I'd a went before. It's the' most excitin'est game. Maw don't like it. Paw does tho'. He stood next ter a bunch o' gals, an' they explained it all out to him an' tole him when ter yell. Maw said it would be a cold day when she went out with him again. A man of his age actin' that a Way. Now, I don't know much about th' game, but bein' as you never seen one I'll try an' explain it to you. Well, first the other teem come on th' field. They didn't do much only try an' chase the ball up an' down an' look cute at th' gals at th ' same time, an' I guess that they got sort er mixed up. Least ways some of them did because they fell down. Then our teem come on. My, you ought ter a heard th' noise th' kids made. You remember how loud Fatty Harris use ter yell when we pushed him often' th' spring board? Wall, this beat th' holler he made a mile. Th' gals had funny little dinguses with HM. H. S. an' ttMacon on 'em in orange and black. One of the gals let Paw Wave hers. May be that's what made maw so sot agin football. Then some one blew a tin whistle, an' most all th' boys got down on their knees. Maw said she guest they was a sayin' their prayers only they didn't have that kind of a expreshun. Then one of them be- gun ter count an' the rest of them chased th' ball an' tried to keep time like you do when you sing, only they said numbers like 89, 87, 100 and so forth. IN7all, I tell you foot ball is shorely a funny game. First one man would grab th' ball an' then some fellar woud get mixed up an' grab his feet so he couldn't go, an' jest as soon as he fell down, the hull bunch would set on him an' kick each other. I would like ter play football, only I'd git a suit like the Knights use ter wear when they went out ter tight. Wall, bye an' bye after th' men had fell in th' mud an' got theil selves all dirty, then all guessed they was thirsty so they got in little WANTED-A wife, Gharles Gwnsby aoon County ank OFFICERS JOHN W.

Maw said thet they was th' laziest bunch she ever see, but I didn't blame 'em a bit She thought that was th' end 'of th' game, an' grabbed paw by th' arrr ter take him hum, but I ast one of the gals, an' she said no, it was only th' end of th' first quarter. I looked but I couldn't see any 2 bits any where, only one boy hed a dollar, so I didn't jest git th' meanin' o' what she said, but every buddy else stayed so I made maw set down agin. Wall, after they had drunk all th' water they wanted, they went an' all kneeled down agin, an' did all over jest what they 'd did before, only our men looked awfull happy. I heard 'em talkin' about the score, an' bein' sort er bashfull I asked paw ter lind out fer me. So he asked one of th' gals. She said it was 15 to 0 in favor of M. I-I. S. I didn't know jest what score was, but it sounded good an' any how we 'uns was a gittin' th' most of it. I haddn't been a yellin' any but one of th' gals sey ttSonny, why don't yer yell '? So I yelled. I thot of what grandad use ter say when we kids hed et up all th' white meat ter th' turkey afore he could git ter it, an' I thot that it seemed flttin' an' I jes opened my mouth an' spelled t'Hull Hog er None. Jest as loud as I could. VVell, they keps on fallin' in th' mud an' my land them suits was a. sight. Maw said she felt sorry fer th' boy's maws when they come ter wash them suits, but I said not ter worry because they sent 'em ter th' laundry. She wanted some candy, but paw he spent a nickel buyin' gum fer th' gals so he said he couldn 't afford it. I wonder why maw is so terrible sat agin' football. Wall, they kep on till thar was only a few minutes left ter play. When one of our men grabbed th' ball an run so fast they couldn 't enny of 'em grab him an' he just went a sailin' up th' field with all th' rest of 'em a trailin' along behind. I-Ie carried th' ball rite between 2 big tall fence posts that was slanted in th' ground, an' every buddy yelled like they was crazy. But I felt sorry fer th' men, he run so fast he was just plum played out. You remember th' time we was a swipin' apples outen ole man. Peterse's orchard an' th' dog got loose? Wall, he run faster than l run then. After that they jest bunched up in one end of th' field an' kicked th' bal lover that little fence business then th' whistle blew an' th' game was over. Of corse we beat 'em. Paw wasn't in no hurry to leave th' grounds but maw she grabbed him an' said she guessed th' quicker he got out er thar th' better. I don 't know what got in ter maw she acted so queer. INSURANCE ?-R SEE English Brothers MACON, MO if +54 When You Are Hungry go to 'Ihe Star Restaurant Satisfaction Guaranteed. Lunch of all kinds.
