PAGE NINE MANJUAN g!?S(®E3S3i!2Je: � a FACULTY PROFESSOR HARRY DAN HOLDEN His degree does not signify A Bachelor, for he is married, a strange habit that some of our teachers seem to have. He first saw the light of day in the month of May, 1806, in Bethesda, Ohio, where he obtained his preliminary and high school education. Following this he attended Ohio University at Athens and specialized in Mathinatics. From there he was called to the principalship at St. Clairsville where we hear he met with splendid success. He came to Manlius the first of March, 1920, and we were rejoiced to have him with us again last fall. Besides filling the principalship Mr. Holden teaches Mathematics, American History and Bookkeeping. He has taken a great interest in the welfare of our school in many ways. He suggested that we give a Minstrel Show, and with the help of Mrs. Holden carried it out with great success. Last spring he coached the Senior Class play which was given and favorably received by both Manlius and New Bedford. The influence and inspiration of Mr. Holden’s personality is, however, far greater and more vital. He is a man of high ideals, convincing in precept and an example. His success with his work, with his ability and genial good fellowship, have made for him an enviable position in the honored ranks of his profession. We, as a school, are very glad to have him with us, and call him our professor and principal. PROFESSOR LEWIS EBENEZER PERRY Mr. Perry came to Manlius last fall to teach in our school. He was bom July 24. 189?, at Wellsville, New York. At the age of five he moved with his parents to Bethany, West Virginia, where his father has since been head of the Latin Department of Bethany College. His boyhood was spent in the vicinity of Bethany among the beautiful West Virginian hills. He attended the elementary and high schools at Bethany and was attending the college of that place when he was called to arms. After the war he went back to Bethany College where he graduated last spring. The last few months of school, along with his college work, he filled the vacancy made by Mr. Holden at St. Clairsville, Ohio, when he eame to Manlius last spring. As a bible class teacher he became so MANJUAN familiar with the gospel that last Christmas he gave heed to the scriptural injunction by returning home to be married- While in school he was prominent in football, basketball and baseball. Last fall he coached our team with great success. The coming baseball season awaits his efforts. No one in the community or school has taken so much interest in the football and basketball as Mr. Ferry. We all find him convincing in personality and a sound, good fellow. Besides being our coach Mr. Perry is our Pilot of French. Science and Commercial Classes. If you want his record as a teacher, just ask what the students of Manlius and St. Clairsville think of him. MISS JULIA WEGENER We are proud to say that Miss Wegener is one of our teachers. She is our English and Latin teacher. She was born in Gunnison, Colorado, but later went East to Augusta, where she finished the grammar school and graduated from high school. She taught awhile in a grammar school at Bondesferry, Ohio, when she made up her mind to go to school again. The next year the University of Chicago had Miss Wegener's name on its enrollment list. While in Chicago Miss Wegener had a great many experiences in working and associating with the girls of the Charity Institution. Literature and English were her favorite subjects. She specialized in these. In the years previous to coming to Manlius Miss Wegener taught in Ogden, Utah, and New Richmond, Ohio. Everywhere she went Miss Wegener took a prominent part in the different activities of the community, which makes her an interesting talker. We owe much to Miss Wegener, first, for the live interest she has taken in our work and pleasure; second, for the encouragement she has given us which has helped us in our school work. We wish very much to see her back in Manlius next fall. MISS BEATRICE PERRY Miss Perry came last fall to teach in our High School. She comes from Bethany, West Virginia, where she attended college and in the spring of 1020 received her degree in Domestic Science. Miss Perry teaches Domestic Science. Modern and Ancient History, English I, coaches the girls basket-ball and has charge of the girls physical training class. A better teacher or a nicer and a more sincere girl cannot be found. She takes very much interest in the school, pupils and in the surrounding community. This is Miss Perry’s first experience at teaching and we all hope she enjoys it. for we want her with us next year. She is a faithful friend of all the students and is willing to do her part by them. In this simple and inadiquate way we wish to express our love and honor for her.

I had just discovered the code to the wireless messages from Mars, and the publicity was more exhaustive than work. I had packed and was ready to start, when the butler announced that there was an important man to see me. I asked him to show the man in. It was a man who wished to take a picture of my apparatus for a Ford animated weekly. During the course of our conversation I learned that he had attended Manlius High School in Illinois. To my surprise 1 discovered he was Bill Folk. Bill had changed much in ten years: he was an enterprising young man, now full of ambition. He was still single and believed in showing the girls a good time. As I was settling myself in the passenger airplane I met Arthur Williams. Right off the bat he tried to sell me a non-freezing solution to put in my gasoline to keep it from freezing. I finally had to buy a couple of gallons of him. As I conversed with him he told me of his ups and downs since he left school. He had started the year after he had graduated, in the Upholstered Pillow Co. as a salesman. After working up to a first-class salesman he had been offered a position in the present company and had accepted. Like the sailors he has a girl in every port, and he told me of a couple of beauties he knew. When the plane come down in Princeton I went to a restaurant and was served a meal bv Bertha McMahon. She had married a young man from Sheffield and they were working together for a bungalow. I arrived in Manlius and the old burg hail changed quite a bit. The high school building that was new when I attended was in the center of town. Scott Miller runs a factory in the building. They manufacture noiseless soup spoons. Every winter Scott goes to the Hawaiian Islands. Thete is a new high school out on Lang's hill. Clara Hurst and Martha Anspach are now old maids and teach in the high school. H. I). Holden is still Principal. Clara teaches Mathematics and Martha teaches Domestic Science. Howard Hamilton runs a mule farm out by New Bedford. He married a chorus girl and she left him. He then married a girl from Kewanee and they are living happily. Chas. Krager married a girl from West Bureau and they live on a farm. Chas. is specializing on a new breed of stock, a cross between a cow and a goat. Thyra and Smithy have left the farm and entered Manlius society. I returned to the city in a week greatly refreshed in mind and body. One night 1 happened to think 1 hadn't heard about Dutch or Antoinette. One day I picked up a paper and read that Dutch had changed from Northwestern to Harvard as athletic director. About a month later I met Antoinette in a department store. She was the Paris buyer for the style department. PAGE EIGHTEEN MAXJUAN ■? THE PROPHECY OF THE SENIOR CLASS It is the year of 1932. I have been a missionary for a number of years, so i am now coming home for a year's vacation. When at last 1 have reached Manlius, I find it has changed in a great many ways. Most of my schoolmates are married, while I am an old maid. When I heard that Beva was married and lived on a farm about two miles from town, I decided to visit her. I asked her about all of our schoolmates and soon found out about them. She said that Martha Anspach was a noted writer of short stories. While she was in Chicago she met the Count de Bologna, of Italy, whom site afterward married. Even though she is the Countess de Bologna, she is not a bit stuck up, and even writes short stories yet. Glen Hewitt ran a garage for about four years, but when he proposed to Fern Rudiger she said she wouldn’t marry him unless he had nicer work- So now they are happily married, for he works in the State Bank. Scott Miller is happily married to Oreetha Monson and lives on the farm which is just west of the High School. Clara Hurst is a great dancer—even greater than Irene Castle. She was in Paris for two years, but she is now in New York, where she has an engagement. Alvin Glafka now lives on a large ranche out in the West. He had a contest with a young man from Princeton for the hand of Lucille White, but he won out, after a hard fought battle. Antoinette Smith went to college for four years and has been teaching school ever since she graduated, but she will soon be married to Lester Olofson, who proposed to her about five hundred times before she would say “ yes.” Charles Krager is a preacher of the U. B. church and is married to Fay Nelson. After having courted her for three years, after his graduation, she finally accepted him, saying that a woman could get along with a preacher and that, anyway, Charlie was a dear boy. Bertha McMahon is a movie star. She is famous for her bewitching smile. Over a million men have proposed to her, but she never accepted any of them. William Folk taught school for a year. He quit teaching because, as he said, lie tired himself out licking those blamed idiots that were his pupils. So he joined a small circus that came to Manlius. In a few years he grew to be such a good acrobat that a larger circus hired him. He married Marguerite Eldridge, who was with this circus, and altho they fight most of the time they are not divorced. Glen Jensen is a noted cartoonist, and is working for one of the leading newspapers of New York City. He lives near the city in a very large house and he needs a large one, too, because he married a widow with ten children. Arthur Williams was a doctor for about a year. At last no one would have him for their doctor, and I don’t blame them either: because, once when he was operating on a man he left same of his tools in him. Arthur became discouraged and went into the movies. He is a great star and is called the second Harold Lloyd. People say he is happy and carefree, even though he has been divorced three times and is now engaged to some girl of the movies. PAGE NINETEEN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We. the class of 1921, entered High School September. 1917, in the old High School building. Our freshmen class was composed of about twenty-five members. We were shy and bashful, but at the same time thought ourselves the most important part of the High School body. We were initiated a little the first day. but were really initiated worse when we elected our officers, chose our motto and our class colors. We chose for our motto Rowing. Not Drifting, and our class colors were )range and Black. When we were in the grades we had eleven subjects and thought it quite easy to have only four: but we soon changed our minds and thought that four subjects required just as much or more preparation than eleven. It was either this change or other things that caused a few of us to receive some low grades. While we were freshies we had a teacher in the assembly room who tried to he very strict. Pins, gum, notes and water guns were much in use. The boys thought that if they took books home they would be called sissies. We poor freshies, how much we had to learn. When we returned to High School. September, 1918, we went back to school with a little different spirit. We became very important, as all sophomores do. We began to take part in athletics. Not many things of importance happened that year. One of our teachers, Miss Thielbar, left fora better position and Miss Mahoney came to take her place. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were with us during our Freshman and Sophomore years. We began our Junior Year with a greater purpose in life than when we had entered two years before. We had two new teachers. D. ( tis Smith and Miss Kilburne, and our faithful teacher, Miss Mahoney. Mr. Smith left because of his health and Mr. H. 1). Holden came to take his place. After becoming acquainted with Mr. Holden we were not grieved over the substitution. ()ur boys developed a real basketball team this year. They won a large silver cup. of which we were all very proud, at the Bureau Township Tournament. The girls organized a girl's glee club, and under the instruction of Mrs. Johnson we were soon singing like birds. Dutch, one of our number, took two firsts at the Bureau County Track meet. At the beginning of our last and most important year of High School, we had three new teachers, Mr. Perry. Miss Perry, Miss Wegener and our old teacher Mr. Holden. The boys having a majority elected Glen Jensen president and changed our class colors to Scarlet and Grey. In November we moved into our new high school building. School seemed like a new job in this pleasant building. Howard Hamilton, one of our most brilliant members, was obliged to quit school for the rest of the year on account of a nervous breakdown. Hoppie is coming back next year and we know he will finish with the best of the class. Thyra Christensen, another of our members, responded to the call of Cupid and after the Christmas holidays we heard that she and Fenner were married. Thyra had often talked of taking Domestic Science. Thyra and Fenner were later entertained in the High School gym. by the entire High School and were presented with a beautiful rocking chair. We wish them much happiness and success. We ten that are left feel quite honored to be the first class to graduate from the new building, and we feel grateful to our parents, teachers and patrons of the school who have made it possible.

It is mainly through her efforts that this book has been planned. We truly hope that for her sake the annual will be a success and are pretty confident that it will. She has bravely shouldered all responsibility for the book and has never refused to write up anything that no one else would do. To be sure, the book could not have been a success without her able corps of assistants, but we feel that the work of Arietta Johnson and Paul Whipple deserves special mention. None better for the respective positions of editor and business manager could have been found in the whole High School. The work of writing up the events happening in the Senior Class was given to Antoinette. She has been very faithful in this besides doing whatever else she could to help. This year she goes out of the Manlius Township High School as valedictorian of her class. Ethyel, the blue eyed social editor, has proven very satisfactory in this line of work. She has accomplished the duties that were put before her wonderfully well. Her accounts of the parties are briefly written, but give a good summary of the merry times we had. Ethyel is very sociable, that is why she was given this position. She is a very hard worker, and is one of our song birds. The work of writing up the sport section of this book fell upon Mr. Nelson, the star half-miler of Manlius High School. He made it a point to attend all games if possible and if he could not attend he sent some one else to report the game. He also played in the second basketball team and showed the fellows how to play the way he used to in the old country. Here's to our business manager, Paul Whipple, whose ability we never knew before. He has used every spare moment of his time working on the annual, getting advertisements, doing all correspondence and all typewriting. He is an all-around business man. never found failing in his work. Whenever the furnace or lights are out of order Paul is always on hand, because he is a regular mechanic. Miss Nelson, the faculty editor, has been more successful than most of the students, as she has been able to find out more of the facts concerning the teachers' lives than any one else. She has worked many an evening trying to get at the bottom of Miss Perry's Life and so far as we know has at last succeeded. Faye is a good student and is always at work. The little boy, Saunders, is only about six feet and two inches tall, but for all his shortness he has been able to get the best jokes of the season and has one on nearly every pupil in the school, including the teachers. He borrowed from all the newspapers and magazines to be found any where in the county, and inci-dently invented a few of his own to fill in where he lacked a good one. PAGE TWENTY-FOUR MANJUAN To see the work of the advertising manager, Miss Plumley, it is only necessary to turn to the back of this book and read some of the advertisements listed there. There you will see all the names of the business men in this and the neighboring town of New Bedford who fell for her beautiful charms and convincing argument, that you had might as well try to run a taxi cab in Venice as to run a business without any advertising. She is a good sport and always ready to laugh at anything. Catherine Lowe, as Junior Class editor and head of the calendar department, has shown unusual ability. Just read our calendar. Everything that has happened this year in the Manlius Township High School is mentioned there. She was assisted in this department by Chas. Wallis, Antoinette Smith and Leroy Isaacson. Catherine is a good student but at the same time enjoys herself. She is well liked and many a one—yes, one in particular, has been charmed by her beautiful voice. The representative of the Sophomore class is Charles Wallis. This class is the largest class in the school. Charles being one of the wittiest students of the class, has written a fine term calendar. You will never find Charles any too excellent in his studies, but still his time is not wasted, for he reads every paper and magazine that he can lay his eyes upon and is exceptionally well versed in English and Science. He is showing his ability as an athlete on the baseball field this year, and we believe the future for him will prove successful. Leroy, our freshman reporter, has done fine. He is one of the best students in the class, very wise and witty, always willing to take part in all school work, fun or frolic. ” Ike” is interested in all athletics, and we are sure will, in the following school term, be one of our notorious athletes. He did much good work on the football, basketball and baseball fields this year. Being freshmen reporter he has written many funny things which has happened among our bright freshmen, for we all know freshmen will be fresh-men. Ike is discussed with many complimentary phrases by some of the Sophomore girls. They seem to be enraptured with that cunning little dimple which appears when he smiles. Glen Hewitt came in in a hurry and went out in the same way. He was only with us for a few months, but in that time made many friends. He was sub on the basketball team and loomed large as a pitcher for our baseball team, lit quit school in March to work on the farm. We hated to lose Glen and hope that he may find it convenient to finish his school work next year. PAGE TWENTY-FIVE JOKES Mr. Holden was standing at the top of the stairs at Atkinson counting our boys as they came up. Nine had come up. He thought there should lie two more, so he said to a little Atkinson kid, “ arn't there two more chisels down there.-' The kid said, “ No, but there is a hammer.” Mr. Perry Harold Anderson what is the highest temperature in which bacteria continue, called? Harold Maximum. Mr. Perry— What is the lowest called? Harold Minimum. Mr. Perry—The Ideal? Harold — Optomist. The Seniors Art. the doctor, says, Tis good for health to laugh and ha, ha, ha.

We refer to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. Far he it from us to detract any of the glory from our dignified and beneficent Board and from our kind patrons who have labored long and suffered much criticism in getting a High School established in Manlius. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were our first teachers and the task fell upon them to make a High School—well, out of almost nothing. The building was an old bank and storeroom. The equipment was limited. Many people did not even believe that a High School was beneficial to the community. Many, enraged because the school had been voted in, in spite of them, refused to send their children to school. The first graduating class was very small, but it was a start of a great flame; and by the tender care of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson it was not allowed to snuff out. Our graduating class this year consists of ten members. We expect thirty in our freshman class next year. We, the present students and faculty of the Manlius Township High School, feel very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson for this thing which they have started, and in this simple way we wish to show our appreciation. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Those gentlemen whose benign and pleasant countenances are exhibited near the front of our book, we think deserve a word of praise. No one, unless he has at some time been a board member himself, realizes the bigness of their task. They work, strive, scheme and connive, often into the wee small hours, trying to give to the community the best High School they can. They may make mistakes, but after all we are all human. After careful consideration they have done what they think best for the good of all. Arn't we sometimes a little hasty in our criticism? Do we always know all of the particulars when we speak? Let us visit the school, talk with the teachers and board members and all get together to make this one of the best High Schools in Bureau County.

PAGE THIRTY-SEVEN- ® mm fi'IWWiT� iji(fH iiH MANJUAN SOCIETY On October first, nineteen hundred and twenty. Manlius High School held its first party. The occasion was our victory in the first football game our hoys had ever played. Speeches were given by Mr. Holden and Mr- Perry, after which games were started. A “ Musical Romance” afforded much amusement. Refreshments, consisting of fruit salad, cake and cocoa were served. Rules relaxed and we danced for awhile. All left expressing themselves as having a fine time. SOPHOMORE AND FRESHMEN PARTY On the morning of November fifth the Freshmen were very much surprised to receive an invitation to a party given in their honor by the Sophomores. At first the Freshies feared it was going to he an initiation, but the Sophomores soon quieted their fears. It was just to he a Good Time Party.” A short program was first given by the Sophomores, which was as follows: An opening speech by president of Sophomore class, Rosina Horricks. The Class Prophecy was read by Marie Adams. “Aunt Jemima’s Courtship was well read by Arleta Dietz. A few remarks by Prof. Holden and an instrumental solo by Irene Oberg, concluded the program. All entered into the games that followed. Refreshments were served and the Freshies felt well repaid for facing the dangers of initiation. After a few more games the guests departed, boasting of the ability of their upper classmen to give a real party. “HARD TIMES PARTY” The Manlius High School hoys gave the girls a great surprise by showing them they thought more of them in gingham and calico than in silks and satins. Everyone carried out the hard time idea in fine style and to have seen us one would have imagined that “ Hard Time not only had knocked at the door hut had forced an entrance and was a permanent member of the family. We had a great deal of fun playing some favorite party games. A good lunch was served by the hoys and we found that the “ hard time came in having to go home, for everyone pronounce:! it one of the most enjoyable parties of the year. PAGE THIRTY-EIGHT jg -«w� ®MANJUAN I COUNTRY GENTLEMAN PARTY A contest was started between New Bedford and Manlius to see who could get the most subscriptions for the journal “Country Gentleman with the understanding that the losers should give the winners a party. Of course, Manlius, having more people, won and New Bedford gave them a party. Everyone was asked to dress as a country gentlemen, or country gentlemen's wives. The idea was carried out very well. Arnold Anderson and Ruth Meek received a prize for the best looking country folk. The feature of the evening was a mock wedding in which Arnold Anderson was the groom and Ruth Meek the bride. Mr. Holden was the minister and he surely made a good one. After playing games, a real farmers' lunch was served. The Manlius country folks went home feeling that they had been well entertained. BRIDES PARTY A surprise party was given Friday night, January fourteenth, after the basketball game between Manlius and West Bureau, in honor of Thyra Christensen Smith, who was married January fourth to Fenner Smith, a graduate of this school. Thyra was in her last year of school and we were very sorry to lose her. The basketball games were not over until 10:30. so we did not have much time left. Mr. Holden presented Thyra and Fenner with a rocking chair, which was a gift from their school mates. The program committee had a program planned but it was so late the formal program was omitted. We played several games and by that time it was very late. Supper was served, consisting of sandwiches, potatoe salad, pickles, toasted marsh mallows, crackers and coffee. APRIL FOOL PARTY April first Manlius returned the party to New Bedford pupils. Everyone expected to be fooled a great many times, but the evening passed without anyone being made to feel foolish. Philomathian Society rendered its program which was good, especially the April Fool number. The entertainment committee had several new games which everyone enjoyed. A very nice lunch was served by the Domestic Science Department. ----------- ■ PAGE THIRTY-NINE «se Bt 29KS SS MAN'JUAN COURSE OF STUDY FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Algebra I •English i •General Science i Latin i Agriculture Hygiene h I’lane Geometry t •English i Latin I Commercial Geography i Commercial Arithmetic i Ancient History i Sewing I JUNIOR •English t •Modern History i Advanced Algebra i French i Cooking i Economics i Sociology i SENIOR •Physics I •English I Bookkeeping i •American History i •Civics A French i Subjects marked Required.

PAGE FORTY jgjj -« � o?E3KSaMANJl’AN 5 £9® r!3£ s g HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT For a number of years it had been the desire of the school authorities to have both Domestic Science and Art added to the curriculum, but because of insufficient room and inadequate supplies it was impossible to have these introduced. In the fall of 1020, as the time was fast approaching; when we should enter our new school building;, it was necessary to hire a teacher to direct the work. Miss Perry, who had specialized in that line of work, was called to fill that place. A regular course of study had been planned in both cooking; and sewing;, but when school began and she found that no equipment had been provided, it was necessary for her to rearrange her work completely. She lost no time for the class started immediately their work of sewing. As a result of their earnest and consciencious efforts, during the first half year, beside hemming dish cloths for the kitchen anti making their cooking uniforms, they made a middy, a woolen skirt and a woolen dress. The work has been exceptionally good for high school work. At the beginning of the new term the ladies of the town gave to the department about twenty dollars worth of utensils, which made it possible for us to serve hot lunches at noon, besides making it self supporting, we have cleared enough to buy knives, forks, spoons and paper plates for the kitchen. We now have some money on hand with which we are going to buy some equipment for next year. We continued to serve lunches until the warm weather began and since then just once a week. The work this year has gone on very well, considering the difficulties we have had to overcome. Next year we hope it will be much better. Next year the work will be offered in two courses. The first year's work will be given to sewing. This work will include the cutting and putting together of under garments, the application of the various seams and stiches and the planning, cutting and fitting of simple dresses. This course will be left open to all sophomores. The second year’s work, which will he left open to juniors and seniors, will be given to cooking. It is hoped that the tables and individual equipment will be furnished so that we can take up the regular course of study. The work will be arranged so that one day will be given to theory, history and chemistry of foods, while the other four days will be given to the practical application of these theories.

No matter how difficult the task may be, Chris only looks up with a smile and says, “ I tank so. His head is filled with brilliant ideas and labor saving devices. We are sure that some day his inventions will rival those of Mr. Edison. At lest we hope so. Chris is a good janitor and we hope to keep him with us another year, provided our English teacher doesn't carry him off. ■PAGE FORTY-THREE □ M A X J U A X IN MEMORIAM Our annual would not he complete without mentioning: our former janitor, Mr. Charles Schmidt. He was an excellent janitor and was always found at his post of duty. He was very particular and exacting:, his motto being:, ” nothing: can be too well done.” The teachers did not have to worry about things not being taken care of when Mr. Schmidt was in charge- He was always interested in his work, and took care of the building as though it were his own. He was suddenly taken ill on the afternoon of February 22, and after a short illness died March 5, 1921. PAGE FORTY-FOUR MANJUAN ]gj (HaUniUtr PAGE FORTY-FIVE OUR SCHOOL DIARY Sept. 6.

[gj FOOTBALL The season of nineteen twenty was Manlius' first season of football. The boys started training in the early part of September under Mr. Perry, our coach, who was a letter man on the fooball team of Bethany College. Mr. Ferry asked for at least twenty-two men to come out for practice and twenty-two came out which was almost all of the male scholars of the high school. None of these twenty-two had played or even seen a football game before. This was not the only disadvantage, for the squad averaged only a hundred and eighteen pounds in weight and fifteen years in age. This disadvantage was the chief causes of defeats, for most of the neighboring teams exceeded the Manlius boys in age and weight. As for the first disadvantage Mr. Perry had overcome that in a short time by his coaching ability, for before the season was over Manlius was noted for having one of the best trained gridiron teams in this part of the county. After about three weeks of training they played Bureau and defeated them nineteen to six. The boys then settled down to work during the following week, for they had to meet Prophetstown on the Manlius field on the following Saturday. When the Prophetstown team appeared all hopes of the spectators vanished, for they out'weighed our boys about twenty pounds. Prophetstown was in the lead after the first half, but the Manlius boys came back strong in the last half, defeating them fifteen to seven. The feature of the game came early in the last half when Williams, right half, received a pass from Glafka, fullback, and ran eighty yards for a touchdown. The following Saturday, October 16th. Manlius returned the visit of Prophetstown. Williams, right-half, was in Iowa and Isaacson, quarter-back was sick. Howard Hamilton, right tackle, played in Williams' place, Meek took Hamilton's place anti Lowe, who weighed only eighty-eight pounds, played quarter. Unfortunately. Prophetstown won fifty-four to nothing. It was in this game that Hamilton was injured, compelling him to quit school a few months afterward. The fourth game was played against Buda on their field. Manlius was defeated twenty-three to six. One of the most spectacular and sensational incidents of the season occurred in the first five minutes of the play. Buda had scored a touchdown almost before we knew it. Manlius choose to receive, because they had a surprise in store. Buda’s beautiful kick-off was received by Anderson, left half, who promptly started to return it around the opposite end. ------------------------------PAGE FIFTY-NINE---------------------------- On his way, however, lie slipped the hall to Williams, but continued to run and “fake it.” Anderson was promptly tackled, but he did not have the ball. Before anyone realized what had happened Williams was nearly to the goal. Though Manlius suffered several bad defeats no team can boast of having made a touchdown from the kick-off on us. After the game with Buda, Miller, left end. played quarter and Stanley Hamilton took his place at end. We played Sheffield, October 29th, and were defeated thirty-eight to nothing, not by better playing, but because we were outweighed. Sheffield won the game mostly through line plunges. After the game Sheffield said that the Manlius team was the best trained team that they had met. The next Wednesday Manlius was visited by Walnut, who fell before 11s with a score of twenty-six to nothing in a half game on a muddy field. The following Friday Neponset came and defeated Manlius fifty to nothing. Xeponset was the heaviest team that Manlius met during the season and probably the best. Early in the last quarter Anderson advanced the ball fifteen yards around the right end and dodged several of the huskies after his interference had broken up, but he was tackled hard and left the game with a dislocated elbow. He was not able to appear in uniform the rest of the season. Isaacson played in Anderson's place the rest of the season. Manlius played its poorest game of the season at Walnut and was defeated fourteen to twelve on a frozen field. The next game was played against Bureau on our field. Manlius started with the intention of making as high a score as possible and keeping Bureau’s score down to nothing. But in the latter they failed, for Bureau scored seven and Manlius forty-four. On Thanksgiving Buda came to Manlius. Our boys had trained hard to get revenge. After the first half the score stood six to six, but Manlius beat them in the last half, the score standing twenty-five to thirteen, in favor of Manlius. During the last quarter Buda fumbled on our ten-yard line and Glafka plunged through, picked up the ball and ran ninety yards for a touchdown. This was probably the closest and most exciting game of the season and victory was uncertain until the last five minutes of the game. As we look hack over our first season of football, Manlus can well feel proud of her clean record. Every fellow on the team trained hard and faithfully. The second team contributed its share to our reputation through its constant response and help in practice. The spirit and morale of the boys was kept up to the highest notch by the loyal support of the rest of the school. Though we shall lose six players who are seniors, the prospects for next year's team are good. Isaacson and Lowe will compete for quarter-back. These with Smith and Anderson will form a nucleus for the back field. On the line we will have Meek, Olaffson, Saunders and Mohr, letter men of this year. Stanley Hamilton, star end, will be with us to show his wares again. Much good material will come to us from the district schools and there remains some in the school. It is expected that next season will be more successful than this. PAGE SIXTY PAGE SIXTY-ONE PLAYERS Arnold Anderson 15 yrs. 134 lbs. Arthur Williams _ --1? vrs. 128 lbs.

The school had some good material for basketball. Glafka, Williams, Anderson, Miller and Folk were veterans of the team of 1919-20 which won the cup at the bureau Township Invitation Tournament of 1920. Lyons and Hewitt, new men, proved themselves to have no small amount of ability. After about two weeks practice we met LaMoille on the home floor and won the first game of the season with a score of 28-6. The following Wednesday Manlius met Atkinson on the home floor. People had looked forward to seeing our team defeated, for Atkinson had the reputation of being very strong. But the result was not as they had expected. Manlius won with a score of 42-6 through the good shooting of our forwards. Miller and Lyons. December 22 Manlius played their first game in the “ Little Six,” composed of Ohio, Manlius, Sheffield. Bureau, Buda and Walnut, with Buda on their floor and defeated them 72 to 5. Glafka, center, proving his ability in making baskets from the center of the floor. The next Wednesday we obtained revenge from Prophetstown, who had defeated us in football, by beating them to the tune of 83 to 2 on the home floor. The low scores obtained by the opponents in this game can be attributed to the excellent guarding of Williams and Anderson. ()n New Year's day Manlius was visited by Rock Falls, the strongest team that Manlius met during the entire season, and was defeated for the first time by a score of 29 to 6. This was the only game lost on the home floor. Manlius started out the new year with a new player, Glen Hewitt, who had just entered school. The next game was at Walnut. Manlius defeated Walnut 48 to 10. Two days later Manlius visited Sheffield and were defeated 25 to 10 on a poor floor. This was the first game lost in the Little Six.” Williams was changed from guard to forward, the position he held for the rest of the year. Manlius was also defeated at Annawan by a score of 25 to 18 on the following Wednesday. On January 14 we were visited by Bureau Township, who fell before us with the score 20 to 12. Manlius was defeated by Ohio, the winner of the ” Little Six,” the following Friday by a score of 20 to 8. During the next week Manlius won two big victories. Annawan was defeatd 43 to 12 and Walnut 30 to 17. Both games being played on the home floor. PAGE SIXTY-FOUR MANJUAN 83 J3 On February 4 Manlius returned LaMoille’s game and was unfortunately defeated 24 to 17. Manlius won the next four games, Buda, Ohio and Sheffield at home and Bureau Township at Bureau, by scores of 26-9, 51-11, 30-15 and 24-16 respectively. The defeating of Ohio and Sheffield gave Manlius second place in the “ Little Six.” Ohio was first, losing only one game, which was the one played on our floor. Sheffield took third place. Unfortunately Glafka, center, took sick and was not able to play in the three following games. Saunders center on the second team, took Glafka's place as center. Olaffson, forward on the second team, who had proved himself to have no small degree of ability, went with the regular team also. These men substituted during the remainder of the season. The first tournament of the season was the Bureau Township Invitation Tournament held February 25-26. Manlius defeated Prophetstown 38 to 14 and then was eliminated by Annawan by a score of 15 to 10. At the County Tournament which was held at Buda on March 4-5. Manlius was eliminated from the tournament by Sheffield, the score being 26 to 13. Manlius was defeated by Earlville by a scorce of 29 to 16 at the State District Tournament, held at LaSalle, March n-12. Manlius won the last game of the season by defeating Atkinson 18 to 9 on March 18. Glafka was able to play in this game. As a pessimist looks over the possibilities for the 1921-22 team, he is inclined to wag his head. But we do not feel that way about it. Our possibilities are really good. It is true we lose four of the five regulars who composed this year's team, Glafka, Folk, Williams and Miller, but we leave much good material. Olaffson and Lyons are sure to show the local fans the art of caging next year. Others who show ability as forwards are Isaacson, Hamilton and Wallis. Saunders, who dwells in the clouds, plans to take the springs from his “ Nash ” and put them in his legs this summer, so that he will be sure of the tip-off at least. Anderson, who is almost a stone wall at guard, will have to work to hold his job against the efforts of Smith, Hewitt, Pierson, Caskey, Nelson and others. You, who know these boys! Is our future dark? PAGE SIXTY-ONE MAKJUAX BASEBALL POSSIBILITIES As was the case with foot balllast fall when school opened, the prospects for baseball are an unknown quantity. This is chiefly clue to the fact that baseball has never been played before by Manlius H. S. However, considerable interest is being shown and Mr. Perry hopes to develop a winning team. The Manlius “ Reserve basketball team won four games out of six. They defeated Walnut's second team 28 to g. Sheffield’s second team 2gto8, Wyanet's first team 21 to 4 and Lyndon's first team 22 to 20. They were defeated at Walnut and Sheffield, both places having poor floors, by the following scores. 12 to 8 and 13 to 4, respectively. The Manlius girls team played their only game of the season at Bureau Township High School, losing 12 to 5. TRACK (FOR SEASON 1920) Manlius had a poor turn-out for the track last season, having only four men: Vernon Anderson, who put the shot, Williams, the fast man in the dashes, Glen Jensen. Manlius half-miler. and Glafka, the mainstay in the pole vault. Although they did not have any coach they made a fair showing, winning second place in a meet with Walnut and Bureau at Walnut and winning ten points at the county meet. These ten points were won by Glafka. an all-around athlete, by setting a new record of ten feet in the pole vault and winning first place in the hop-step-jump. PACK 8ITXY-SIX MAN JUAN TRACK POSSIBILITIES The track possibilities for this year are better than those for last year. Nelson, star half-miler. will again be eligible, though Glafka will not be for pole vault. Yet these two, with Jensen, Dabler, Pierson and some possible stars who have not yet shown, will be looked upon to win us a respectable place in local meets.
