HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1916 0:0 .-..:. 1:. HEN the opening day of school came in 1912, a bunch of boys and girls arrived and declared theme selves to be Freshies. For the first week or so, we were found all over the building, dodging in and out, disturbing all the other classes and being generally in the way, a trait which every Freshie class seems to have. With this class the activity did not end, however, after the first two weeks, but has continued to the present time. The flag rush came along with a technical victory for the Sophs, but it was contested fiercely. The lights raged for a day and a half, with frequent intermissions, when Mr. Peoples came out. It was even written up in the papers. ' When Class Night came, in recognition of our activity and industry, we were named the Bees, a truly appropriate name. The next year we won the flag rush decisively, and then proceeded to break precedences and establish one for ourselves. We gave a party. This was an unheard of thing in M. H. S. for a Sophomore Class to do, but we did not care, despite certain Senior threats. Every Sophomore Class has since followed our example. In the Junior year we slowed down a little, but still had plenty of good times. On Hallowe'en we had a party at the home of Floriene Roberts. The crowd went in machines and, while we were in the house enjoying ourselves, some boys from school, not mentioning any particular class, let all the air out of the tires, crossed the Wires in one machine, and took the connections completely out of the other. This only added to our enjoyment, for 12 Louie Jones was greatly excited and swore all kinds of revenge on the culprits. We always suspected a certain bunch, and took great pleasure in inflicting our revenge upon them at a later date. In May, we entertained the outgoing Seniors. This was the most brilliant event of the year. The night before the day assigned, it rained, and Mr. Merry advised us not to go to Lake Allyn, as we had planned. So instead, we took the Possums to Woodland Park and then returned to the school. There a. fine supper was served and the remainder of the evening spent in dancing. This year has been the best of our whole career. There has been plenty of excitement, activity and hard work for every Senior throughout the entire ten months. The first job undertaken was in the painting line. We decided that the front of the school was too unattractive, so we assembled one night and painted the steps in our class colors, Royal Blue and Silver Gray. This was the most daring stunt ever ttpulled off. on the faculty. The second job we undertook was to remove the said paint. And, in so doing, spent the biggest part of a second night and wore out several good wire brushes. Shortly after this, we undertook to publish an Annual. Every class has dreamed of this for the past five years, but it has remained for us to really accomplish it. Despite the pessimistic advice of the faculty against this project, we persisted in it and, by hard work, we raised five hundred dollars in subscriptions, in advertising and class dues. The school supported us loyally and the Seniors appreciate it greatly. On St. Patrick's Day, we gave a dinner and dance. In the afternoon, two basket-ball games were played and then we entertained over two-thirds of the school with a fine supper. After this came dancing, Which was heartily enjoyed, and thus ended one of the most success- ful affairs ever given in M. H. S. Our Annual has been published and Class Night and Commencement will soon be over, and, with these, our school days will be ended. We do not see how the school will get along with nothing .but Kewpies, Goops and Freshies, but we hope that it Will weather the storm. C. W. SWORMSTEDT. 13 EARL T.

N 1913, we entered M. H. S. and, although we were only little Freshmen, we felt much larger and more important than we do now. Soon after the opening of the school year, the excitement of the flag rush began. There were many scraps and the colors were often stolen from the Bees by us. Finally, the night of the rush came and, although we put up a hard fight, the Sophomores succeeded in getting their colors up. The rest of the year passed quickly and without any excitement until Class Night approached. We were now wondering what name we should be given. Many names leaked-out, but not until Class Night itself did we hear the right one Kewpies. Willis Horton, a Brownie, read us a modifica- tion of the Gettysburg speech and at the end gave us our name, a. name of which we have been Very proud ever since. Besides this, we were presented with a Kewpie doll, which now presides in the trophy case of M. H. S. The next fall, we proudly entered the High School, not as Freshmen, but as Sophomores, bearing the name of Kewpies. We were then considered dignified and old enough to hold Class meetings. At the first meeting, which was, by the way, a great event, we chose our oflicers and our colors and planned the flag rush. Soon after this, Mr. Merry told us that he thought it would be better to do away with the Hag rush and have scmething safer and saner in its place. We decided upon a Iield meet between the Sophomores and the Freshmen, and the losing side was to entertain the winning side. The day for the field meet came and we won. 29 The Freshmen, with Mr. Peoplesl help, gave us a very pleasant evening in the school auditorium. It was a masked party. There were games and dancing and de- licious refreshments, and we decided that we would like to do something just as nice for them if possible, in the Spring. The Winter passed with hard study and many anxious days. And When Spring came, we began to plan for a picnic for the Freshmen. We decided on AuIt Park, and Mr. Merry gave us a half-holiday for the picnic. We were forced to postpone it several times because of rain. But the day on which we had it was beautiful. Mr. and Mrs. Merry, all of the High School teachers and some of the Grade School teachers went, and they all said they never went to a nicer picnic. Soon after this, the term ended and each and every Kewpie departed for his or her home. On September 7, 1915, we again entered M. H. S. Although we had decreased as a. whole, as individuals we had increased. The boys had very deep voices and the girls had their hair done up, that is, a great many did. We set to work with vim and, if it had not been for the Freshmen, we would have continued to study without interruption. But they were preparing the Freshmen- Sophomore Party, and it made us recall the happy times we had enjoyed as carefree Sophomores. But now, as Juniors, the expensive burden of the Junior-Senior Picnic lay heavy upon our shoulders. Finally the longing for one little night of pleasure grew so great within the heart of the Junior President that he decided to hold council with his fellow Kewpies. Promptly at three, all the little Kewpies and all the big Kewpies assembled together. The innocent faces of all shone with hope. After many suggestions, one tall Kewpie made a motion to the effect that we give a party to which any Bee or Kewpie might come who was willing to pay a small fee. This, as the tall Kew'pie pointed out With thoughtful care, would give the pleasure sought and leave the Kewpie treasury untouched. It was eagerly accepted and a committee appointed of which the tall Kewpie was Chairman. Everything was attended to by the committee im- mediately-the teachers invited, the Bees informed, the day set, the musicians hired, the pleasures planned and the refreshments prepared. a The night came, Saturday, October 30, 1915. It was a masked party. Queer figures appeared. A pink- cheeked, pink-gowned, pig-tailed little girl tMiss SpilmanJ a stout, old-fashioned gentleman and his wife tMr. and Mrs. MerryQ a large group of healthy, young ghosts, a great many frisky, young clowns, a court fool, a devil, a fair Spanish lady, several old-fashioned beauties, and many others just as oddefifty-one in all. There was dancing and a Dutch lunch was served later on. Every- one reported as having had a delightful time. After this spree, we again set to work. Our examina- tions are now behind us, and the Junior-Senior Picnic. ahead. We want it to be a success and we want the Seniors to have a good time. We have looked on at the work done by the Annual Staff of the Seniors and think that they deserve every possible success and the best Wishes of everyoneeqthey certainly have those of the Kewpies.

Everyone realizes that our class sur- passes all others in all ways. This was easily seen from the beginning. As Freshmen, we distinggished ourselves by the Iack of greehness we displayed. We easily found our way through the building, and were always duly respectful to our dignified upper classmen. The flag rush was abolished in our Freshman year and we held a peaceful field meet with the Sophomores. We knew how disgraced the Sophs would feel if we should win, so we kindly allowed them to defeat us. We kept the majority down, though, and the score was 86-78. The spirit shown in the field meet was fine and it was a great success. Besides the generosity already displayed in the field meet, we burdened ourselves with the task of entertaining our splendid examples, the Sophomores. We did this with a Hallowe'en party in the gym, which seemed to be greatly enjoyed. In May, the Kewpies entertained our class at Ault Park with a picnic. EVery- body had a fine time and it was a great success. 0n Class Night, the Class of 1915 gave us the name Goops. The Brownies, given the great honor of bestowing our name upon us, said: May the 'Gi stand for greatness and the goodness of each, The 'OOisi bring oodles of days that are bright, May the T, mean perfection as far as your large class may reach, May the Goops always stand for the fight. We have made an effort to live up to this and think we have gained a great deal of success. Our Sophomore year has increased the wonderfulness Mr. Webster was appointed our class officer, and'he has been very helpful and has and happiness of our class. done lots of good things for us. In September, we held our iirst class meeting and elected Robert Lyon, President; Gladys Mann, Vice-President; Margaret Grosse, Secre- tary, and Edgar Coons, Treasurer. We chose crimson and black as our colors. Of course, they are greatly admired. One of the faculty even said that ours were the prettiest in the High School. The field meet of our Freshman year was such a success that in October we held another With the present Freshies. They made a noble effort, but we so far surpassed them that the score was 167-78. lightfully with a Halloweten party in the gym. In payment for losing, they entertained us de- Our class ranks well in scholarship and we have $Y 43 35 members in the Dramatic Club and in the Philologian literary Society. Our skill in athletics showed itself in our Freshman year and has since increased. This year we were represented on the f ootball, basket-ball and baseball teams. 1918 sticks together and we have shown a splendid class Spirit. The High School may well feel honored that it will have such remarkable ability and such splendid characteristics for two more yearsh KATHERINE BASSLER. QQ$86? X9- FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY NE of the most promising classes which has entered the Madisonville High School is the jolly Freshman Class of 1919. About one hundred entered in September and about ninety-five have continued the course. The Whole school knows that the Freshman Class is very brilliant and we have the teachers to vouch for us, if anyone who can not be in the Freshman Class tries to say anything against us. These comiiig from schools east of Madisonville have spent a. great deal of their seventh and eighth grade years in helping with the work on tifatheris farm, for the idea. that ignorance on the subject HHow Butter Grows and iiWhich Trees Produce Pumpkins was a thing to be proud of, is a thing of the past. Those coming from west of here are neither farmers nor city folks, but have been adopted by the nine class just the same. In September, we accepted a challenge of the Sopho- mores to a field meet. We were slightly defeated, but cheerfully responded to the agreement of giving a party to the victors. The party was a masquerade given on Halloween in the gymnasium. After a grand marchf the masks were removed and games played. Later re- freshments were served and the remainder of the evening spent in dancing. A11 enjoyed it greatly and pronounced it a grand success. 38 We have among our class some very fine athletes, which circumstance was proved in various games with the Madisonville eighth grade and one with the Woodward Freshies. In a football and basket-ball game With the Sophs, the score was close, slightly in their favor. In a game With the ten Ais, which was a great victory for us, our class showed its pep in many ways. A few of our class are on the regular team, and as for the others, a baseball team is soon to be organized. As this is our first year in athletics, the result is very encouraging. As this class is newly fledged, there are only a few happenings, but a couple are interesting to some; for instance, a few of the talkative girls had to go to the study hall for a short period for gossiping in the halls- The path around the trophy case is becoming worn, so many Freshies have had to walk around it as a penalty to slight offenses. The Freshman Class is not represented in the Dramatic Club, but large numbers belong to the Glee Club, both the girls and boys. We are certain that this class, which will graduate in 1919, Will be the best which has ever left M. H. S., and Will be long remembered by its school. ELEANOR KRIEGER, ROSA LAFFEY, WILLIAM PRICE.

Warren Ayer as Faculty Oflicer. The object of the Society was to promote such training in speaking as is necessary to the business man of today, and for furthering the arts of writing, speaking and de- bating among its members. Under Arthur S. Sullivan, as its first President, a constitution and by-laws were drafted and adopted which, with a few minor changes, still remains in force as the instrument of government of the organization. The Society adopted as its motto uPhilia Kai Logos, meaning friendship and learning, from which the name Philologia is derived. The colors selected were cream arid maroon. The Society has engaged in much civic work, which is outside of its regular functions. In March of 1913, Philologia canvassed the town for food and clothing, which they at once forwarded to the headquarters of the Flood Relief Committee; In December of 1913, the organization was called upon to distribute the annual Christmas donations to families designated by the Asso- ciated Charities, and in 1914 and 1915, the boys visited the families designated and inspected the homes as to cleanliness, needs and number of the families. In a number of cases, the people were not worthy, but for every family rejected, another was supplied. In the spring of 1914, the Society conducted the Clean-Up Cam- paign with great honor, and it is fitting to mention that Philologia was the only high-school organization en- trusted with such a commission. 44 In February of 1915, Philologia visited the Philo- phronean Literary Society of Otterbein University at Westerville, Ohio, of which our Faculty Officer was once a member. Our laws and customs were modeled after the Philophronean Society laws. In 1913, the Business Men's Club, realizing the value of the Philologian Society in training the high-school boy, offered three prizes to be awarded to the three boys adjudged by a set of judges to have the orations which excelled in composition and de- livery, and since then have seen fit to make it an annual event toward which everyone, old 01- young, in school or not, looks forward eagerly. The iirst annual banquet was held in the Spring of 1913, which was open to all friends of the Society, and since then each year has wit- nessed a still more successful banquet. In 1915 and 1916, Colonel French gave us two of his fine, illustrated lectures, and on the 25th of April, 1916, the Society was fortunate enough to obtain the Glee Clubs of Western Reserve College, which is said to have been the best entertainment held in Madisonville for several years. This is a brief sketch of the history of the Philologian Literary Society, probably the most widely known and most thoroughly organized society in the high schools of this section of the country.

Tyler Helen White h THE HISTORY OF THE GIRLS DRAMATIC CLUB $ um- HE Girls' Dramatic Club was organized in the Winter of 1912, under the leadership of Miss Stoehr. During that Winter, the girls dramatized Little Women, which was to be their first play. Many rehearsals followed and, on May 31, 1912, the Club made its debut. The play was a great success. In the Fall, the Club was ready for work again, and, though many of the old members were gone, there were many new ones coming in. Everyone was anxious to get a play started. After reading many plays, the Club decided finally to give Ye Little Salem Maide. When the Club had dramatized the book, they set faithfully to work rehearsing it, and, in the afternoon of November 28, 1912, the play was given and the Dramatic Club scored another triumph. There were no more plays, then, until April 19, 1913, when The Girls of 1776 was given. This was the first play open to the public, and a large audience enjoyed it. In June, there had to be an enter- tainment for the Alumnae, so the Dramatic Club was called on to give a play, and, on June 1, 1913, the Club gave A Box of Monkeys and Little Sister Snow. The performance was repeated on June 2 for the public, and, from the proceeds, a beautiful silk national hag was bought and given to the school. 52 The next play which the Club gave was A Midsummer- Night's Dream. This was given on December 12, 1913, and the Club made a big hit. From the prbeeeds the Club bought the Christmas dolls. It soon came time to consider another play to be given in the Spring, so the Club, after much deliberation, decided on Creatures of Impulse and Castle Comedy? The girls set to work and dramatized Castle Comedy ; then rehearsals fol- lowed. The plays were presented on May 1, 1914, and a fine crowd enjoyed them; the proceeds went to help the Uneedmefl In the Fall of 1915, the Club met andvelected their ohicers for the coming year. Elizabeth Dunham was elected President and Helen Knight, Treasurer. The Club began to work on the play they had chosen and con- tinued until December 10, 1915, when the play, Fanny and the Servant Problemlt' was presented. The play was well received and appreciated by all who saw it, and the iinancial gain went toward Christmas charity. The last play given by the Dramatic Club was a two- act comedy adapted from the French and known as the Bluffers. The Club gave it on February 16, 1916, to entertain the fathers on Fathersl Night, and all who saw it enjoyed it thoroughly. FLORIENE ROBERTS.

He thrust his head carefully from under the kindly haystack that hid him from unfriendly eyes and took a first rapid survey of his position by daylight. To the west, following a low, far-flung ridge, ran the trenches of the Allies, skirting the village of Me, and extending away toward the north to the Bois forests. The first line of the net- work of trenches was hardly two hundred meters from him and in excellent position for the perfect observation of every move made during the day. A series of short passageways cormected the first trench with the more elaborate and perfected defenses that breasted the slope. The lieutenant had good reason to smile with satis- faction. The arduous work of two weeks had culminated at last in giving him a good vantage point from which he could observe this center of the Allies' strength and direct the fire of the huge German howitzers upon it with a certain, devastating effect. The wire of the field telegraph running from the haystack across the fields and hills to the German lines, five miles away, was the only link between him and his comrades-a thin, fragile link, but one of dreadful capabilities and 0f awful might in his hands. He slipped back under his haystack and munched a cold breakfast from his haversack, washing it down with draughts of cold water from his canteen. After appeasing his hunger, he carefully made a small aperture in the loose hay, through which he could get a good view of the enemy with a minimum chance of being seen. He next unshipped his small field set and connected it with great 57 care to the wire which stretched away to his countrymen over the eastern hills. Then brushing the dust from his glasses with a silk handkerchief, he took up his post at the peep hole. He swept the trenches with his glasses, noting With keen and experienced eyes the construction of the de- fenses, picking out the works that controlled the weaker and more accessible points and tabulating them carefully in a notebook. The trenches formed long, dull reddish lines along the ridge where the fresh clay had been turned up. Sand bags made a long, grayish bulwark along the first line, and they were intersected with loop holes, through which vicious-looking machine guns thrust their muzzles. Farther up on the slope, scores of sappers were industriously engaged in sinking new trenches and mount- ing more deadly machine guns. Crowning the ridge were three batteries of iield artillery, nestling behind their embankments in a businesslike manner. At other points along the ridge, places were being prepared for the re- ception of other guns. Groups of khaki-clad soldiers' were setting up cruel barbed wire entanglements all along the slope and orderlies and aids spurred hastily over the defenses, carrying orders and instructions to the various sections. It was plainly evident that the Allies were strongly fortifying this position. Von Tesler swept his binoculars over the entire length of the trenches, until they stretched out of sight on both his left and right. He again carefully studied the ridge. That is the center of the whole line, he muttered to himself. If once that ridge is taken, both wings Will have to retire. The real struggle will be in capturing the ridge. He next whirled his glasses on the little village of M and the road that led toward Paris. The road was choked with advancing infantry and galloping cavalry, while motor supply trucks rushed continually into the village. Von Tesler nodded his head knowingly. Re-inforeements! They mean business! A queer smile of triumph and satisfaction spread over his boyish features. Let them work! Let them prepare! H e had their range and he could frustrate their best built plans with a simple pressure of his finger. 3!: :k 1: Fl! :1: The end of two hours found the range of every im- portant point marked down in his notebook. They needed only testing out with a few shells and then the doom of the almost impenetrable position was sealed. The lieutenant turned to his instrument after another brief survey of the first line of the trenches, and in a moment he was satisfied that he had plenty of power for sending a message. Range! he ticked off, due west-SOSO meters! A minute passed. Then a dull rumble broke out from a great distance toward the east and a great shell screamed and shrieked overhead a second later. The huge projectile plunged over the Allied works and ex- ploded with a terrific roar 500 meters beyond. A quick glance showed Von Tesler the length of the miss, and he corrected it immediately. Try 7500 meters-due west, he again ticked off. Again the screaeh of a. great shell followed the distant report, and this time it plunged down within fifty meters of the works. The shell exploded with a terrible detona- tion and the earth fairly rocked. A great crater was torn in the ground and fragments of stone and dirt fell for several minutes afterward. ttFifty meters short, sent Von Tesler over the wire. This time, the great shell plunged directly into the trench and exploded with deadly effect. A full twenty yards of the trench was destroyed and the sand bag de- fenses, the wire entanglements, and yeHven men, were wiped out of existence. A rush of ambulance corps was made for the shattered trench, and they immediately began their ghastly Work, while Von Tesler, smiling and grinning at his success, carefully made a few changes in his notebook. Now he had every bit of information he desired. He had the range of the first trench, of the defenses on the slope, of the batteries crowning the ridge, of the road crowded with the reinforcements, of the bivouac of the supply trainwyes, of every point he' had the knowledge that spelt its doom. The time for action had arrived. nRange! was the single word that formed his next message. That was all that was necessary. Almost immediately a series of heavy concussions broke out, and the scream of a score of shells followed. The doomed trench was deluged with a rain of fire and death, and the detonations of the exploding shells rocked the ground. Great clouds of smoke hid What was being enacted in the trench, but Von Tesler knew well enough. Too often had he seen it in the past year. Dimly through the white, suifocating mist, Von Tesler' could see the great confusion that his sudden bombardment had caused. Troops of men spurred furiously over the 10w hillsides-re-inforcements were rushed hurriedly ins the Allies, artillery began to boom forth in futile defiance and the aer0planes of two air scouts circled swiftly up to reconnoitre. The surprise caused by the sudden attack was complete. The din was deafeningehellish. The. earth shook and quivered from the heavy explosions and Von Tesler plugged up his ears with cotton. Clouds of irritating powder fumes penetrated the hay and caused the young Teuton much discomfort. Stones, earth, fragments of woodeand, God forbid, of men rained down from above, and their loud thumps as they continually struck the haystack were a grim accompaniment to the bombard- ment. For an hour, this inferno blasted out young lives, wrecked strong bodies, and destroyed all within the first line of the trenches. Then, at Von Teslefs command, the dread explosions ceased, and an unearthly silence reigned over the shattered area. The lieutenant waited patiently for the smoke to rise so that he could see the result of the deluge of great shells. A dreadful sight met his eyes. The heaped up line of the first trench had entirely disappeared. Great smoking holes, choked with dead and dying men, marked the place it had been. The whole field between the hay- stack and the trench was covered with debris blown there by the heavy explosions and it marred the before verdant beauty of the field. And the horror of it-vfragments of men were also scattered over the battered section in ghastly heaps. Such is war! Good work! Von Tesler remarked laconically to himself, as he viewed the destruction that had been wrought at his bidding. Von Tesler now watched the moves made by the enemy in the other sections of the trenches farther up the ridge, and smiled with amusement at the confusion he had caused. The ambulance and Red Cross corps invaded the destroyed trench on their errands of mercy immedi- ately, and a. host' of brown-clad soldiers worked with renewed alacrity on the other works. New machine guns were hastily mounted, the artillery was unlimbered and pegged securely down in the most advantageous positions and strong bodies of skirmishers were thrown out all along the lines. The troops in the village were marching with all haste into the trenches, and new bat- teries of artillery were riding furiously into position. 59 That the Allies were preparing for and were expecting an infantry attack all along the front was evident. Between the village and the ridge ran a gully between two rolling hummocks which were wooded heavily and almost impossible to heavy artillery. The new batteries were using the gully to approach their positions on the ridge, as it was much shorter and better driving than skirting the hammocks. Von Tesler noticed a battery of heavy French 75s following the gully toward the ridge, and like a flash, he calculated their range and sent it in. Range 8000 meterSwwest by nor'west! The immediate rumbling of the German cannon fol- lowed and again the horrible, nerve-rending screech of the great shells warned the Allies of a second bombardment. The battery was at once enveloped in a cloud of fire and smokeein an inferno beyond even the fertile imagination of Dante. Great spurts of flame and dirt, mingled with fragments of men and horses, leaped up as the living hell broke loose. Von Tesler could not see, but he knew well enough what was going on. He mentally pictured the terriiied plunging of the horses, the desperate, struggling men, the terrible blasts of destruction and death, the cries, the shrieks, the frenzied curses, and the relentless doom raining down from above. He had seen it often since a certain fatal August. Now and then, a cassion or a gun broke out of the chaos, to be immediately swallowed up again. Time and time again, the smoke lifted and he caught a fleeting glimpse of the terrible destruction going on. Brave men! Despite the perfect hell that was being rained upon them, they came forward-always forwardeand not a one tried to retreat. Into the teeth of the plunging and exploding shells, right amidst the bursting, flaming death falling before them they rode onedriving their frantic horses viciously and beating them mercilessly. Now and then one would escape for a momentebut why prolong it? At the end of ten minutes the brave company lay scat- tered and torn over the gutted valley and not a man lived or a gun reached the ridge to tell the story of that brave squad. I 4: 1i 1? Ii Von Tesler now sent in the ranges of the various positions, designating carefully the positions of the ar- tillery and the fortified ridge, giving a detailed note of the strength and importance of each position. He also gave the range of the village and of the road, still full of marching troops, for division after division were marching into the trenches for a determined stand. He gave information, also, valuable to the Germans in arranging their formation for the drive after the great bombardment of the entire worksethe bombardment which was to be unparalleled in the history of the war. He had hardly sent in the information, with orders to await his word before starting the general shelling, before he heard voices. Several men, talking in English, were apparently approaching the haystack, and Von Tesler nestled down securely in the straw. As he understood English perfectly, he listened with eager ears to what was being said. The newcomers stopped by the haystack. itBy gad, exclaimed a voice in an almost awed tone, did you ever see such diabolical accuracy? Man, I tell you its uncanny-it isnlt human! Not a man left of MacKregor-ls Battery. Com- pletel y wiped out? put in another, his voice full of wonder. They must have our exact range for such shooting as that. One of the men laughed queerly. It gives me what the Yankees call the 'Jimmiesf I can stand a fight as Well as the best of 'em, but gad! a thing like this gets on my nerves, he said. They certainly are wonders, agreed a fourth. Its a mystery how they dug out our range with such accuracy. 60 If, by any chance, that ridge falls, it's another big re- treat all along the line. If they get the range of that road down there and shell it as they did the battery, it will be a regular slaughter. There is no way out of it. said the first. Pd give a fortune to discover the secret of their range finding. I honestly believe that they have it in their power to shell those positions all to pieces, another stated. Oh, youlre getting nervous, Allan, scoffed one of the others, but his voice did not ring true. Did you notice the beginning of the firing on the trench? The first shell was 500 meters over the mark, the second fell short fifty meters, and then the third scored a perfect bull's-eye. They not only knew when they missed, but just how much they missed, the one named Allan continued emphatically. Von Tesler smiled at the astonishment of the officers, and a keen sense of satisfaction filled his whole being. itWell, it's my opinion-good God! men, look here, cried a voice. Von Tesler started. He knew instinctively what had happened and an icy chill ran up his spine. However, he touched the key of his field set resolutely and awaited further developments. They were not long in coming. A wire-a telegraph wire, came a hoarse whisper. A moment of deadly silence followed. Surround the stack, snapped out a commanding voice. Hubert, you go get a file of troopers. We'll get this bird! A dreadful calm settled over Von Tesslerls face and then suddenly he came to a decision. He was discovered -he would be captured and would suffer the fate of a spy-unless- He made a rapid calculation. Range, he ticked off deliberately, i 735C5edue west. Try two shells. Bombard the road heavily and then begin a general shelling of the whole front from ranges. Attack tomorrow night after general bombardment. A reverberating boom broke forth from the east and a great shell arched the sky. It rose higher and higher and then it began to drop, drop, dropw Good heavens! Look! cried one of the offlcers in a horrified tone. The huge shell settled down over the haystack like a pouncing eagle. They watched in stupeiied horror, unable to move. The shell poised directly over the hay- staekehardly five meters above it. A spurt of heme, a rush of air, an earth-rending explosion, and the haystack vanished from view. A smoking crater marked the spot of its existence. This is the spirit-the unbreakable spirit of the Germans. 1!: a: 4: a0: a: Two days later, the German Hag flew over the totally destroyed works on the ridge. Far to the west, the bleeding, defeated army of the Allies crawled into new quarters, and the greatest victory of the summer was won by the German Arms. eE. T. ALTMAN, 16. 61 1- o 0.0 0 Q .. IIAN ADVENTURE OF BUZZ HEN, AN OLD KENTUCKY DARKEY N a little Kentucky town on the Ohio River, there are few people who have not lived there or Whose grand- parents had not lived there since the town was first settled. All the people seemed to know each other and so it hap- pened that several young doctors, representing the oldest and best families there, were sitting in an office near a red-hot stove one evening in the latter part of January. They were laughing and talking, and, at last, the one they called Doctor Sam, whose office they were occupying, suggested that they play a prank on a young negro, who was always boasting that he was not afraid of anything, not even a ghost. This is how the story is told by the negro some time later to his children, when they had asked him to tell a story. ' I So you wants me to tell you that story I promised you last night? Hm, well, I suppose I must, so jist draw up your chars ant git comfortable; now be sure you keeps quiet. IiYes, Judy, you kin sit on de iioor dar, but hush, I'se gwine ter begin now. IIOne cold Winter night, when do thermometer wuz most down to freezin' ani de groun' wuz kivered wii snow which wuz most ez bad ez ice, young Doctor Sam told me ter go down an' meet dat up boat. 62 ItNo, Willum, the bus didn,t run everyday den an' ,sides Whoid ride nine miles in a bus when it wuz so cold ant When de wind made sich awful sounds ant de old bus wud rock jist like a cradle when some one is pushin' it? Yes, de sounds wuz enough ter make a niggerts hair 'come straight, 'specially down yonder in Ghostsi Hollow, Where ole Master John wuz killed. ISides, honey, you could come down on the big boat an' git a good dinner, an' if the Captain wuz in a good humor, he'd let a nigger jig sometimes an' sing too an' earn a quarter easy like you know. ttWell, dey told me ter go down an' git what dey calls a stiff. Datis a dead pusson, yer know, ant dey wanted me ter git him sots dey could 'speriment with it. Dey called me in tbout four oIclock ant told me ter go home an git supper an' then ter come back Ibout six. Well, When I went back dey were solemn like ant asked me ef I'd be afraid, ant I told tem no indeed, an' Pd sure go down jis ez soon ez I heard de whistle blow sois I'd be oh time. Dey kept me until de boat pulled out ant den told me ter go, but I must be veri keerful ant not let anyone se me fer you know there wuz lots 0, no-count niggers down on de warf an, ef dey had seen me dey could have took de job from me an' I wouldnit git the twenty-five dollars dat Doctor Sam ant his friens promised me. Dey told me, too, I had ter be sure an' bring Mister Stiff up dar whur dey wuz fer dey were gwine ter begin right aWay, an' lawsy, ef dey- didnit begin ter sharpen them long knives of Doctor Samls before I could git away from de oiTice. It jist made de creeps run up anI down my'spine, for I thought maybe day might not wait but begin on me, them boys were so keerless like sometimes, Ispecially when dey wuz wit Doctor Sam. Well, I walks out kinder slow like, fer it wuz powlfu' dark an, I wuz beginning ter feel a little shaky like. All de folks had gone ter bed by dat time, fer de boat never got up Itill long abouts twelve or one dclock then ef de river wuz full oI ice like it wuz dat night. When I got down her do warf, sure enough der wuz ole Mister Stiff anI he looked like a giant, he wuz so big an' fat. Finally I got ter wondering if I could git him up dar all right without bruising him, for dey said ef he wuz bruised a least bit I would only git fifteen dollars .instead of twenty-live. Your mammy loved to dress those days an, she wuz a fine-looking gal, even of she is so big anI cross now, anI I wanted ter give her dat money ter go an' git one of them new dresses dat wuz up than- in ole Captain's window. I picked him up, but oh, my gracious, I never felt a barrel of flour heavier dan dat ol stiff. You know how steep ant rough dat ole place is down dar. Well, when I had iim ibout half way up, I jist sorter hiled him up a little on my shoulder, fir he wuz awful hard to carry ant he wuz slipping off, anI den I started up de hill again. Now, chilluns, pay strict ltention to what I says and Willum Hen, you jist stop pullin' Judy's hair, you rascal. 63 Well, sir, that ole stiff jist reached down an grabbed me by the legs. Did I drap him? Well, you know how ole Maude does when you lazy chilluns tries to get on her when she thinks it is Sunday anl she has a right ter rest jist same ez humans; you know she kinder draws all up together an' den you does-well, I jist drew up as much like Maude ez I could an, I flung that stijf clean over my head on them rocks ant ice anl den I jest stood an looked at him ltill he gave a great big moan which jist about skeered me to death, ani den I commenced ter run. No, 110 race horse could have caught me den. HYes, Judy, I ran faster dan that ole gray horse you heard 'bout at school, when its master wuz running away from the witches, for didntt I think Mister Stiif wuz mad anI wuz going to ketch me sure? Yes, Willum, I ran faster dan dat night when I had de chicken coop strapped on my shoulders, thinking it wuz full of nice, young chickens an, wonderinI how mammyId fix them fer dinner, anI when it wuz only stuffed wiI hay anl as I wuz leavirf the chicken yard Master Ray set fire to the hay. Yes, I ran that night too anl had te jump in de river to put de fire out fer I coulant git the straps undone. It seemed like when I got in de water wiI that coop on my back, I surely never would get out, but at last one of the young men who had been across de river to see his sweetheart, no you neeant know his name, saw me anr I thought he'd die a-laughing at me, but he got a boat anI rowed out anl cut de straps an' dat coop jest sank ter de bottom oi de river an' made a terriable noise, jest like some awful monster; then he took me ashor but jist ez I wuz gitting out I met Master Ray, but he niver says dat I must pay for de coop, but jist asks me how I liked de chicken dinner. Where wuz I now, I kin hardly recollect, you chillun do 'sturb me so an' git me so flustrated its a wonder I ever tell you a story, an, When you do 'sturb me I jist naturally git interested in the thing you ask me about an' forgit about de thing I commenced on. Do you Imember where I wuz? When I wuz talkin' about runnin ! Oh, yes, I remember now. Well, when I heard dat stiff groan, I ran anl it; didn' take me any time ter reach dat office. Yes, der dey all sat, so I thought. Did I stop to knock? No sir-ree! I jist busted in dat door an' you orter have seen them jump. But I knowed no more for a long time afterwards, but when I came to der dey wuz sitting tround me. I thought my time had come ez I hadn't brought dat stiff an' I thought dat maybe dey wuz gwine ter 'speriment on me. Well, sir, I jist began ter pray anl beg Iem to wait a little while e2. I wuz sich a no-count, wicked nigger anI that ef I should die I would most certainly go ter torment, but ef dey would only waits 'till next time I would try an' be ready. You orter have heard them laugh. I oouldnlt speak another word fer I had heard dat doctors an' do people dey Isociate with wuz sich cruel pussons at those times, always laugh anl joke before they begins on a pusson, an, off I went again. When I come to the next time there sat your mammy anl she told me dat de young men had played a mighty good joke on me an' I deserved every bit of it for I wuz always sayin I wuant afraid of anything anI I orter have noticed Doctor Sam wuznlt dar when I started out, fer he wuz 64 up to most anything those days; an' I orter have knowed he wuz up to something, but she wuz right glad I had been skeered; now maybe I woulant boast so much. uShe told me the stiflI wuz Doctor Sam hisself anI When I gave him dat hike up, I jist nearly killed him, I hurt him so. Well, he thought he would have some fun with me, never thinking I would drap him or throw him over my head. He wuz in bed for nearly a month afterwards, fer you know it wuz some time 'fore they could git any sense out of me an' by dat time I reckon he wuz nearly frozen, it wuz so cold, anl he wuz unconscious when they found him. His head wuz hit so hardden too he wuz all tied up in sacks and ef he had wanted to he coulant hav gotten out. How did he grab me? Why, they had cut holes in de sack so's his arms wuz out; den dey put sacks on his arms and he coulant git 'em off an' he couldnlt walk for his feets were in sacks too. When he got well he said he wuz gwine ter git even wil me Idey all wuz in faco an? I wanted ter go lcross de river but your mammy said I had ter stay right dar anl face de music. So one night Mister Sheriff anl them young men knocked at my door. I heard 'em cominI an' I jest sat dar an' didn't move, not even when dey comed in. Mammy gave them chers anl' Mister Sheriff said, Now, Hen, are you going to behave yourself anI not go after any more stiffs er steal any move chickens? I told him I would go ter work, anl den dey told me I had ter bring your poor ole mammy anI come with them. Dey took us up a square er two 'till we comes to this here house; den Mister Sheriff gave me a big paper arr told me the house ani all that wuz in it wuz mine. He told me dey did it icause Doctor Samis father wuz my father's master an' dey felt sorry 'cause I wuz so poor ani it'wuz jist a niggefs nature to steal, but now he hoped I would .be better. Well, I felt so bad ibout de stealini an so thankful $out their kindness dat I jist drapped down ifore de door an' cried. So you see how we came by this house. Is that you calling, my? You wants these lazy chilluns ter come an' git you some wood so's you kin git supper-of course dey kin! Right this minute! Well Fm gwine down ter de boat ez I hear her blowini ani git de paper ifore supper an' I wants ter be on time ter git some of dat chicken I smells a cookini. Judy, you tell mammy Brer Joe is comin' ternight ter supper an' when he begins ter eat chicken it is like tryin' to fill a bucket without water with one of dem things dats full of holes dat mammy has out dar in de kitchen he jest canit get enough. I wouldnit be siprised ef you hadn't orter ask my to save you the drum sticks, so you ani Willum kin at least git a smell of it, he is sich a powiful eater. Y es, I'm gwine to git de paper, mammy, right now an' make irangements ter go ter New Orleans With Cap- tain next week. Yes my Iise gwine ter bring lots of things home. Oh, fiddle, mammy, no one kin hear me yellin' ter you but you hold back supper till I git here. If Brer J oe comes tell him 'bout me going ter New Orleans ani maybe he,ll go too. Yes, yes, Iise gwine. The old man rose slowly from his comfortable chair, reached for his pipe and stalked from the room. FRANCES TALIAFERRO, '16. 65 s'i- 9 THE QUESTION 9 aunts: NE Decoration Day, I went swimming with five other fellows in the Montgomery Creek. When we left home, the heavens were clear and it looked as if it was going to be a fine day for an early spring plunge. But alas! We were soon to find out that all is not gold that glitters. We reached the creek in safety and began to disrobe. Before we had iinished, the heavens suddenly became overcast with dark and threatening clouds and a danger- ous looking flash of lightning was followed by a deafening clap of thunder. It was evident that a terrific storm was brewing and, needless to say, we became extremely uneasy and apprehensive of the worst. But it was too late to go back to shelter, so we put our clothes under the roots of a large sycamore tree that stood on the bank of the creek, and plunged into the water. No sooner had we done so, when a terrific clap of thunder was followed by the rain, which came down in torrents. The creek rose with amazing rapidity and we, in the creek, were nearly swept off our feet. We had difficulty in gaining 66 the shore and no sooner had we done so than hailstones as large as walnuts began to descend upon us. Needless to state, when those stones began their work, I thought my end had surer come. After struggling about under the fire of those merciless hail'stones for about ten minutes, we gained the shelter of that friendly sycamore tree. We reached for our clothes but oh, horrors! the creek had done its work. All that remained of our wearing apparel was four undershirts and one pair of pants. We donned these and proceeded to make our way homeward over two miles -of public road. About half way home we passed a house in which lived a large family, and oh, shame! Strung along the fence were at least eight girls, who were snickering at us in a most embarassing manner. We put on a burst of speed and passed our tormenters, but the question in my mind has always been this: Why did we blush and not the girls? H. W.

Re- union in the Masonic Hall to which all Seniors and every- one who had been in the class were invited. The attend- ance showed that there was still the same feeling of friend- ship between the present members of the Senior Class and those who saw fit to drop out in their Sophomore or Junior years that had existed in their Freshman days. It was really gratifying to see the old Freshmen Class reassembled. A vote as to which was the most enjoyable, the punch or the dancing, would have probably resulted in a tie. FRESHMEN-SOPHOMORE PARTY S a result of the overwhelming victory of the Sopho- mores in the Freshman-Sophomore field meet, the Freshmen gave the victors a big Hallowe'en party in the school gym. It was the most successful affair ever given by any Freshman Class and certainly reheated credit upon their energy and industry. The gym was beautifully decorated with brightly colored autumn leaves, the red and black of the Goops, together with the regular Hallowe'en decorations. The 76 party was, of course, a masquerade and the costumes were varied, ingenious and, in many cases, elaborate. The entertainment consisted of jolly games, the very popular eats, and dancing. Every Freshman lost two- thirds of his greenness by the party, and the Sophomores are indebted to them for a royal good time. The aHair was a great success from every point of view, in spite of the Senior-Junior raid upon the Freshman cider and Sophomore President. Keep it up, Freebies! u-ql J UNIOR-SENIOR DANCE THE Seniors freely admit that they are indebted to the Juniors for one of the best times of their lives. On Hallowe'en, the Seniors were the guests of the J uniors at a mask party given in the school gymnasimn. The gym was thoroughy decorated with many articles sug- gestive of the occasion, but the real decorations were the widely assorted costumes of the participants. The students, however, were not the only ones to get into the spirit of Hallowe'en, for the faculty was well represented. Mr. and Mrs. Merry were truly many, and the fact that Mr. Merry wore the knee breeches and silver buckles of Washingtonts time and that Mrs. Merry was suitably dressed to be his companion proves this Without a doubt. Miss Spilman took the cake. She looked younger than ever Cif that be possiblet for her hair was plaited down her back in regular t'schoolgirl style, and she was a queen in calico. One of the main features of the evening was the t'eats ea regular Dutch lunch, consisting of Schweitzer and wieners, pickles and-sh-h! l-and cider! SENIOR PARTY Friday evening, December the ninth, the Seniors gave a reception for the three lower classes, in the gymnasium. The guests divided their time between playing games, dancing, and drinking punch. Mr. and Mrs. Merry and Mr. Brubaker were the amiable, as well as vigilant, chaperones. 77 4.3-5- INSTALLATION SESSIONS ego: THE Philologian Literary Society held its first instal- lation session of the year in the school auditorium, November 13, 1915.

That the invitation was appreciated was shown by the many fathers who responded. The house was filled to the last seat. The opening address was made by Mrs. Arnold, President of the Mothers, Club. First on the program were two selections sung by the High School Girls' Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. J. Surdo. The High School Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Surdo, rendered four numbers, which were well received by all. The Bluffers, a two-act comedy given by the Girlsi Dramatic Club, was most successful, each character taking her part very well. After the play, ice cream and cake were served by the members of the Glee Club in the Corridor. FANNYtS SERVANT PROBLEM A poor relation .............. is a preposterous shadow, length;- mi'ng in the noontide of your prosperity - an unwelcome renwmbrance - a perpetually recurring modification - a drawback to success. HE members of the Girlsi Dramatic Club just heaped glory on themselves by their excellent presentation of Fannyis Servant ProblemH on the evening of December tenth. The play proved to be decidedly satisfactory to the audience, and this was no doubt due to the fact that a well-known truth was emphasized in a very humorous way. Fanny, who has started a career as an actress, against the wishes of her relatives, falls in love with and marries Lord Bantock, thus raising herself to a high position. When she comes to her new home, she finds, 79 in her retinue of servants, her relatives-twenty-nine of themwready to be a drawback to all her aspirations. Lady Bantock and her relative-servantsii find themselves figuring in many ludicrous positions during the play, and before the final curtain drops, the trouble clouds have all blown over and all has ended well. The Seniors are proud of the fact that the two leading parts were taken by members of their class. Miss Elizabeth Dunham as Fanny and Miss Helen Knight as Lord Bantock, interpreted. their parts perfectly, and they were ably supported by an exceptionally strong cast. Much of the credit for the success of the production must be given to Miss Stoehr, the director of the Dramatic Club. a 0.. -. 2- .g. SENIOR RECEPTION 00 0:0 m. N March seventeenth, the Seniors gave their reception to the rest of the school, and it was, without doubt: the most successful dinner-dance ever given in M. H. S. More than sixty couples were present, and a splendid time was enjoyed by all. At four o'clock, the Juniors met the rest of the school in a hotly contested game for the basket-ball championship of M. H. 8., winning by the score of 22-17. The Seniors met the 10 A's and were defeated by a score of 28-13, after a vain but gallant struggle. Dinner was served at six o'clock in the school audi- torium by the Senior girls. The room was tastefully decorated in green and White in remembrance of the day. After the dinner, the entire party adjourned to the gymnasium, where dancing was the major attraction for the remainder of the evening. That the party was en! joyed by all was evident by the hearty cheers given the Seniors by their guests. WESTERN RESERVE CONCERT N Tuesday, April twenty-flfth, the Western Reserve University Musical Clubs, of Cleveland, Ohio, gave a concert in the Madisonville school auditorium, under the management of the Philologian Literary Society. The entertainment furnished by these thirty 01' more It consisted of selections by glee club, quartette, and mandolin club, together with impersonation, vocal solos, and a musical comedy lasting forty-iive minutes. given in Madisonville in many years.

BUSINESS MANAGER'S SPIEL ELL, how do you like the Annual? Pretty tine book, isnt it? But remember that it was the ttads that made it possible for the Senior Class to publish this Annual. A good, book was our aim, but money , we had to have for a good book. The bulk of this money has come 3 from the advertisers whose names appear in this volume. Now, here is the proposition we want to put up to the students and friends of M. H. S : The advertisers in this book helped us, and now we want you to help them. These ads have been valuable to us, and we trust that it is apparent to you that it is your plain duty to make them valuable to the advertisers. When you are going to buy something in Madisonviile or Cincinnati, look up our advertisers. Patronize those who helped this Annual. Don't let advertisers say that uaids in the it M. H. S. Annual is money thrown away. Everyone can help. Of course, knock the Annual all you want to-that is the purpose of this book --to furnish a ground for kicks. But donit forget to patronize our iiads.

AREY WINS . a u w HE swift, Whirlwind bout between Slugger Bridge and ttK. 0. Arey for the Toothpick-Weight Title of the school is one which will live long in the history of M. H. S. The fight was a thriller from the first tap 0f the bell to the Ten! which spelt defeat for Bridge. Bridge, of an enviable reputation as a boxer, put up a plucky scrap against defeat when the tide turned against him in the fifth round, while Arey, unheralded, unknown and without reputation, sprang a big surprise and, by a beauti- ful display of headwork, footwork, and boxing, fanned the prancing Bridge to sleep in the seventh. Arey's victory was a great surprise to everyone. Bridge was well trained, skillful and experienced, while, apparently, Arey possessed none of these essentials to a boxer. That is where the surprise came. Arey was well trained, was skillful, and undoubtedly had had great experience. Mr. Peoples refereed the bout and Hadden and Lyons were Arey,s men, while Toepke and French performed like duties for Bridge. The bout was scheduled to go ten rounds for a decision, the winner to take the title. Bridge entered the ring at 8.12, a 5 to 1 favorite. He wore a cardinal and tan sash, proclaiming his assertion that he was uChamp of the school. He was in the pink of condition, and a great ovation was given him by the fans. Arey entered at 8.14 and was also well received, especially by the Seniors. Areyis condition was a sur- prise to all. He appeared as hard as nails and ready for the combat. The ring was cleared and the gong tapped at 8.18. 40-? '2' FIGHT BY ROUNDS First Roundeoth men met in the center of the ring at the tap of the bell and a minute of light sparring followed, each man feeling out the strength of his opponent. Bridge soon took the aggressive. He dove below a straight left for his jaw and landed a series of stinging left and right hooks. Arey uppercutted viciously, causing Bridge to break his infighting. Bridge again bored, using both hands to advantage, and Arey gave back. Bridge rushed, but Arey stood up to him, and a herce toe-to-toe fight ensued. Bridge broke out of it and Arey rushed him swiftly. Another mix-up followed. Bridge again broke and stepped back. Arey closed in, driving home several hard hooks to the heart and stomach. ,Bridge clinched. 101 Candies and Ice Cream Always Pure.

The beginning of the second frame found Bridge again forcing. After several terrific mix-ups in the center of the ring, Bridge gradually forced Arey back, the latter clinching often. In a short, vicious rally, Arey can'ied Bridge to the ropes in a manner that brought the crowd to its feet. Bridge clinched. Bridge broke, flooring Arey with a stunner to the head. The crowd roared. Arey took the count of three and was up again. The round ended during a light exchange of blows. Bridgets round. Third Round-Arey came back like a Tartar in this round and drove Bridge all over the ring. Bridge refused to mix it, and only his splendid footwork saved him from a mauling. The fighters were all over the ring all the time, moving with such speed that the fans could hardly follow them. Arey cornered Bridge and Bridge clinched. Arey broke and crossed his right to the head. Bridge toppled over the ropes just as the bell rang. Areyls round. Fourth RoundeBridge rallied and the round was a series of vicious miX-ups. Bridge tried to come back, but Arey wouldn't let him. Both men fought hard and took severe punishment. The round was even. Fifth Round-Arey did all the forcing and Bridge was in distress. Arey rushed him to the ropes time after time and Bridge scrapped his way out. Bridge was going, but going hard. Near the end of the round, Arey scored another knockdown. Arey's round. Sixth RoundeBridge rallied and floored Arey With a blow to the heart. Arey got up quickly, but was evidently hard hit. Bridge tried forcing and Arey retreated. The round ended With a slow desultory bit of sparring. Round even with a shade for Bridge. Seventh Round-Arey rushed and floored Bridge on a sizzling right cross 150 the jaw. Bridge did not get up and was counted out. Arey won in seventh on a knockout. E. T. A., '16. PRINTERS SKILL :hould be first in thought when publicity man of lay kind in wanted.
