They direct the business of our school, willingly sacrificing their time and energies to make possible the maintenance of a High School at Manlius. Certainly their position is far from enviable—they receive no compensation, little commendation or praise, but better than any reward of intrinsic value is their opportunity to further the cause of education at Manlius High School.

Our freshman class was composed of twenty-two green but enthus-' T iastic students. We were very shy and timid but thought ourselves pretty smart on November 15th, when we entered the new High School. We were the first class to escape the epidemic of initiation because our principal, Mr. Holden, wouldn’t let the upper classmen harm such an intelligent looking student body. Mr. Holden taught us to add A and B; Mr. Perry taught us that the moon WASN'T made of green cheese; Miss Wegener taught us to say “Amo te”; and Miss Perry taught us to say 1 saw' and not 1 seen’. Oh Boy! Our first class meeting was wonderful. We elected Gladys Dabler as president and Lester Oloffson as secretary. Of course, we didn’t need a treasurer because we didn’t have any money and didn’t expect to get any. We had blue, white and silver for our class colors, because we thought they were very pretty and besides we wanted more colors than the big smart classes had— t'was a wonder we didn’t have some green with it to set it off. Although we were timid, or in other words scared, we all took our turns throwing paper wads and notes through the air. When vacation at last arrived we were much more intelligent than we were when we entered the old State Bank—due to our careful instruction and partly to our new school building. When we returned to school in the fall, we were a little more dignified and felt pretty big, as all Sophomores are inclined to feel. We had a class meeting about the first week, electing Alfaretta Walker president and Ruth Shepard secretary and treasurer. Now, since we were older and had a sense of reasoning we realized that two colors would be better than three—so we took out the silver, leaving our colors blue and white, standing for truth and loyalty. We selected the modest little violet for our flower, because we believed we were modest, and Up for our motto because we believed that was where we were going. We achieved great marvels during this year, winning second place in the Honor System. We could never had done it, had it not been for our class advisor Miss Wegener, who inspired us on. In October a new teacher, Mrs. Rudiger was added to the faculty, making five teachers. It was during our Sophomore year that we, as a class, were at our best. During our Junior year our class took a slump—everything was against us. We lost in the Honor System but this was not entirely our fault although I admit we talked to our neighbors more than was necessary and took the don’t care spirit. But just the same our Junior year will always be remembered for two things—the good old times we always had in English class and the most splendid banquet in the History of Manlius High School that we gave the Seniors. Perhaps I need not say very much concerning our Senior year. If you will turn to the calendar in this book, you will see that our Senior year speaks for itself. 4 Page Fourteen The A arm HAROLD ANDERSON “Hap” ‘No words sutllce t«� tell Ills varied merit.” Delphian Foot I� h II 1-4 Baseball 1 Basketball 1 Play 1-4 VIRDEN CASKEY “Caskox Begone dull cares!

HEN I came back to Manlius after ten years abroad, 1 found the city and its people somewhat changed. The High School that I had left in June 1924, was back among some very large trees, almost shut off from the road. A large base-ball diamond and two tennis courts were on the west side of the building where a meadow previously had been. I went down town and to my amazement found that a new theater and Post Office had been erected during my absence. As I was going into the Post Office I saw John Smith distributing the mail with the assistance of his wife, who had formerly been Blanche Blackmer. Blanche invited me to tea. While we were visiting she told me the fate of the class of '24. Virden Caskey and Arleta were living on a farm just east of Manlius and had three of the dearest children. Eleanor Jenkins had fought fiercely against Arleta but after a hard fought battle, Arleta came out victorious because Virden said he didn't like actresses. Harold Dablcr and Oreetha Monson Dabler were teaching in a High School in Rockford. Oreetha was an English teacher and Hap was the Ag teacher. They were very well liked because they had a contract with the school to stay eight years. Ernest Lebahn and Blanche Hansen were in the Klondykes digging gold. They went up there on their honeymoon and never came back. They were so happy they decided to stay. Ike had become a great artist and lived in Florida so he could paint the picturesque scenes there. He married a Palm Beach Beauty and they found Florida an ideal place for their love nest. Ruth Shepard went to Glasford to secure a job in an office, but her work didn’t last long—Bill Wilson changed her mind. Pete Glafka and Harold Anderson were teaching in the West. Pete had been jilted and then decided to leave the places that brought back memories, taking with him his old class-mate Harold for a companion. Gladys Dabler was married but was teaching school west of New Bedford. Since her husband was a teacher she also took up the profession. Lucille White was living in Dove Cottage, Lovers’ Lane, a suburb of Milwaukee. She said she certainly enjoyed working in a meat market. Mr. and Mrs. Oloffson were living on a farm south-east of Manlius. Lester said Antionette made a dandy little house-wife. Hazlle Gudgell was the only one left and I wondered what her fate might be, so I asked Blanche where she was. Blanche said the last heard from her she was living in Oneida where her husband ran Frank Grampp’s Poultry House, he was boss at the Poultry House, but believe me, she was boss at home. —V. P. '24 Page Eighteen The A arm IDith Apologies to Lincoln OURSCCRE minus seventy-one years ago our School Board brought forth on West Main Street a new High School, conceived in loyalty and dedicated to the proposition that all students are equal. Now we are engaged in a four-year course, testing whether that course or any course will ever do us any harm. We are met by the teachers at the ninth hour. We have come to dedicate our never-dying fame as an inspiration for those who come later, that our High School might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that the Freshmen should know this. But, in a larger sense, it is hard to leave, we cannot leave, but we must leave—this school. Our brave class-mates, flunking and passing, who have struggled here, have made grades far above our Faculty’s power to add or to substract. The world will little note nor long remember what we have accomplished here, but it can never forget that we were here. It is for us the passing, rather to graduate here and leave no unfinished work which we have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task set before us—that from these honored graduates we are taking increased interest, for the cause for which they gave their last full measure of spirit; that we here highly resolve that these graduates shall not have graduated in vain; that this school under the Faculty, shall have another graduating class and that the spirit of the students, by the students, for the students shall cause M .H. S. not to perish from the earth. —The Seniors Thanatipsis So live, that when thou must kick the bucket” Thou shall not have a sore “toe forever. And walk to that mysterious bar where each shall take To his chamber in the noisy hall of (Hinkey Dinks) (Two mugs of Edelwiese) saloon Thou go not, like a soldier but like a drunken fool To thy gutter to lay down, like one adorned with hoof prints of a mule Wraps his battle-ladden coat around him. And enjoys the starry dreams. —Smith-Isaacson Page Twenty The A drm THE JUNIOR CLASS Back Row--Donald King, Kenneth Swan, Delmar Hagan, Arthur Lath- rop, Norman Miller, Lyle Nelson, Ronald Wessel.

The Alarm Page Twenty-one Prophecy of the Juniors HAVING spent the last six years in France, 1 decided to return to Illinois for an extended visit; of course I was very anxiius to hear the fate of the class of '25. My wish soon came true. The first person I met was a sailor from Manlius High School and a member of the class of '25. Leonard made a good sailor but he seemed very sad. He had been visiting in Manlius before sailing for France, so of course brought good news from every one of my classmates. First he told me that Ruby and he had broken up their little home because he had been called back to the navy. He further gave me the following information: Helen and Norman were living in West Virginia. Norman was working in the coal mines trying to support his little family of four. Yet he was very happy because he had his classmate sweetheart to comfort him in time of sorrow. Ella was living in Peru. There’s a reason for everything, but it seems no one could find the reason for this. Gur old all-star Basket Ball player, Donald was traveling the world, but he traveled to Walnut most of the time. Wonder why? Tracy and Janice Peterson were living on the Rudiger homestead; they devoted most of their time to the raising of ducks and geese. Lyle and Shorty were still making occasional trips to Walnut but with little results. Arthur Lathrop and wife had been running a store in New Bedford, but his wife who was formerly Helen Stonewall had gone to Reno. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Heuer were living on an onion farm at Kedron, 111. To my great surprise Eugene Booth and Virgil Hurst were teaching in the good old Manlius High School. Thelma and 11a having decided that they didn’t care for men anymore, had gone to an Old Maids Home. It had always been a difficult matter to hear anything from Ua Hartz, but leave it to ‘Ole’. He said she had married her former sweetheart (Howard Rollo) and they were living in Moline. Arminnie had married, but did not seem to care for married life as she had to support her husband by teaching in one of the Minneapolis High Schools. Gladys I., my ever true classmate was teaching in the University of Illinois. Kenneth Swan was taking the place of Freckles Barry. He had made his success in the film production ’’Marguerite.’ Leonard then found it time to go on duty but we talked of former school days many times during my voyage. As soon as I reached New York I left for Manlius. I found my home town greatly changed and everything Leonard had told me was true. —J. A. M. ’25 Page Twenty-two The A arm blanche Says John O.

They are a very intermediate class. Every member has the power of intonation. Nearly all of them will practise iotization during the next two summer vacations. Cyril Dietz is going to South America to hunt the Megatherium. He says he is an invulnerable person and would like to meet up with many at a time. Of course he is sure to get a one cent bounty on their teeth and tails. Miss Gladys Johnson will practise the intonation scale so she can go to Cuba and play for the broadcasting station. Curtis Hunt is going to engage in the bee and poultry work. He states: “If 1 get the hives the bees can do the work.’ He might hire some of his girl friends to operate his incubator or he might get married, who can tell? He has bought a house and loaned it to his Uncle Silas. Kennison Hewitt will go to Europe to join tne Slavs, Czecks and Bolshevists in their struggle for supremacy. He might get his board. Elmer Raabe will go to California next summer and the following summer he will be in New York. Ruby Mohr is going to join the Tom Thumb Exposition after which she will become a member of an Eskimo tribe in the Yukon region. Carrie Lebahn will prepare to go to China as a teacher and missionary. She can master the Chinese language well. She can also catch a Chinese coolie or cookee. Adolph Christensen is going to ride Spark Plug and lead his puddle jumper to Utah. He can sell Sparky for ten cents and return to M. H. S. next Fall a rich man. Art Neahring will become a cartoonist during his vacation period. Bessie Hansen will raise turkeys and take care of the baby. Hasel Nelson will become a movie star in the Fox Film Company. Russel Jensen will prune trees and pick fruit next summer with Mr. New-bum as his tutor. —H. H. C. 26 TEN DAYS Virden: “Your honor, 1 was not intoxicated.” Judge: “But this officer says you were trying to climb a chimney.” Virden: “I was, your honor. A couple of cerise crocodiles had been following me around all day and 1 don’t mind telling you, they were getting on my nerves.” Page Twenty-six The A arm The Truth About l]ou Did it ever occur to you that man s life is full of crosses and temptations? He comes into the world without his consent, goes out against his will, and the trip is exceedingly rocky. The rule of contraries is one of the features of this trip. When he is little the big girls kiss him and when he is big the little girls kiss him. If he is poor, he is a lemon. If he is rich he is a crook. If he needs credit, he gets it in the neck. If he is prosperous they all fall over themselves to do him a favor. If he is in politics, it is for graft. If he stays out, he is no good to his country. If he does not give to charity he is close-fisted. If he does, he does it for show. If he is actively religious, he is a hypocrite. If he had no interest in religion, he is a hardened sinner. If he gives affection he is a “softy. If he cares for no one he is coldblooded. If he dies young, There was a great future before him ; and if he lives to an old age, he missed his calling. If you save money, you're a grouch. If you spend it, you're a loafer. If you get it, you’re a grafter, if you don't get it you're a bum. If you re a lawyer you’ll wish you were a manufacturer; if you're a doctor you 11 wish you were a salesman; if you're a dentist you'll wish you were a merchant; if you're a preacher you'll wish you were a banker. Oh! What's the use?? DO YOU REMEMBER? Do you remember way back when I told you The Tale of Two Cities when The Story of Elaine” tells us about the “Coming of Arthur who Travels With a Donkey and in which The Idylls of the King are Gareth and Lynette and King Henry the V is the notable character. He takes The De Coverley Papers to Guinevere ' and “She Stoops to Conquer The Tatler” who told us about “The Passing of Arthur? Don: What did she say when you turned off the switch and kissed her? Virden: Said she felt as if she never wanted to see my face again. Rastus: Liza, what fo' yo' buy dat odder box of shoe blackin?” Liza: Go on, dat ain’t shoe blackin; dat’s my massage cream.

The A arm Page Twenty-nine Freshmen Class History ONCE UPON a time, long, long ago (to be exact, in the fall of 1923) a freshman class came to M. H. S. to learn. At first they were rather timid, but they soon became accustomed to the ways of the school and fitted into their places. Miss McMorris was elected as class advisor and she was afraid she might have to do some advising the first thing, but Norman finally changed her mind by deciding that as it was Ruth’s last year in school, he would wait until next year to play with Marjorie. The next event of importance was the Freshmen-Sophomore party. Everyone had a good time. Mr. Perry reported that two boards had been skipped out of the floor. After the party, the class set to work with their studies. Martha Johnson, Elva McKune and Helen Edlefson proved to be fine mathematicians. Under Mrs. Anderson's supervision, Arvid Stonewall, Orlo Aumann and Karl Isaacson developed into fine English students. Karl tells us that he just loves to write formal invitations. When Miss McBride came back after Christmas vacation to inform us that she was Mrs. Ousley, the Freshmen were the very first to give her a wedding gift. After New Year’s Day, Marguerite seemed to take advantage of the fact that it was Leap Year. During the New Year, the class lost three of its members: Foster Hewitt, who wanted to go to work, John Gish and Clifford Stier. The class has taken an active part in the Literary Programs. Virgil Hayward and Doris Olson have shown a remarkable talent for oratory. Gwendolyn Czech and Ruby Mott are also good in this line. Claretta Lath-rop and Darlene Souser have very good singing voices and Bessie Hamilton and Nellie Hartz use their voices for speaking. And so, we hope, that every day in every way the class will grow better and better. SPEAKING OF ENDURANCE Lester: Just one more kiss before 1 leave. Jeanette: No; we haven't time. Father will be home in an hour. FINANCIAL NOTE Norman: What happened to your hair? No waves to-day? Ruth: “Low tide, honey. Page Thirty The A arm Freshmen Class Prophecy IN THE magic depths of my crystal globe 1 see a bright future for the class of 192 7. As Sophomores, its members will make a brilliant record. Ella Swan and Arnold Olson will outshine their fellow classmen in geometry and if Mrs. Ousley is still teaching, Karl Draper and Kenneth Blackmer will prove to be wonderful history students. As Juniors, the class will carry away all honors. Karl Isaacson, Virgil Hayward, Arvid Stonewall and Orville Thompson will help to form one of the most powerful athletic teams ever known in the history of M. H. S. Marjorie Swanson, to whom is destined a quiet and domestic life, will perhaps take cooking. Doris Olson, with her dark hair and black eyes will be a real frenchy French student, if Stacey Dabler doesn't hang around TOO much. At the end of their Junior year, Viola Krebbs and Helen Peterson will leave M. H. S. and go to DeKalb. As Seniors the class will have the honor of being the largest ever known to graduate from M. H. S. The Normal Training class will include Claretta Lathrop, Ruby Adams, Florence Marshall, Martha Johnson, Viva Stier, Elva McKune and Lola Hunt. By that time Shorty” will have persuaded Marguerite to give up her plans for college and study Domestic Science. Glenn Swan and Orlo Aumann will be preparing to study for the ministry, after graduation. Gwendolyn Czech and Ruby Mott will be preparing to enter Vassar. Darlene Souser and Helen Edlefson will give the Seniors a Ball, and Bessie Hamilton and Lois Pierson will do a lot of entertaining. Eric Carlson will be Valedictorian and Marvin Miller, Salutatorian. Marie Elliott and Nellie Hartz will take the leading rolls in the Senior Class Play. Clara Heurlin will direct the Senior Operetta. There will be theatre parties and dances. So, with much gayity, the year will end, and the members of the class of 192 7 will go out into the wodd to meet their fate. £. J. J. '2 7 Oh My! Miss McBride she went away. Oh, my! To see her Fred on Xmas day. Oh, my! She proposed to him I guess. Anyhow she’s Mrs. Fred; Cause its Leap Year so HE said. Oh, My! Soon they'll have a little home. Oh, my! Then no more will Maxine roam. Oh, my! She ll have to cook, and bake and sew, It goes with married life you know. But, if she wants to have it so,—well. Oh, My! —E. J. '27 The A arm Page Thirty-one Literar 1 Societies 'Tv HE LITERARY activities have played a great part in the school life. I With the help of these the students will be able to make public speeches with greater ease. The Literary programs are given every two weeks, alternatively. The programs consist of instrumental music, piano and vocal solos, readings, essays, biographies, prophecies, and histories, newspapers, extemporaneous speeches. As yet we have had but one debate. The work of selecting and training the numbers which appear on the Literary Programs is in charge of Miss McMorris.

The A arm Page Thirty-nine Department of Agriculture 'T' HE SCIENCE of Agriculture is a very interesting as well as a very in-I structive subject. Essentially it is a study of nature. It deals with the A clouds, the sunshine, and every variety of weather. A farmer must know something of these variations in Nature’s ways, and endeavor to adjust his operations accordingly. The more he understands the whims and ever changing works of Nature, the better he will know how to seed and harvest his crops. A Farmer in his work deals with things. He performs the work of thinking and doing. He not only works out with his hands what he visualizes with his mind, but he also endeavors to establish some theories as the result of his practical experience. He realizes more and more that he must accept and practise the teachings of Scientific Agriculture. Agriculture as it is practised today is essentially a business proposition. Almost any man can use his plow, planter, cultivator and harvester, to seed, care for, and harvest his crop; but to know how much of a certain crop to seed and when it should be harvested and sold to bring him the most profit, requires no small amount of business ability. The knowledge of how to select his seed, how to handle his labor problems most economically, and how to meet market requirements are all essential characterics in successful farming operations and practises. The study of Agriculture in Manlius High School is essentially vocational. Each boy must carry on outside of his regular class work a practical farm project which enables him to put into practise the theories which he has learned in class. These projects must cover a period of six months time but do not necessarily need to be ended at the end of that period. It need not be a paying proposition altho it is desired that these projects cause no financial loss to the boy. A labor and financial record is required in connection with every project. Three classes in Agriculture are conducted in the High School Course, all of which are elective. These are as follows; Horticulture, Animal Husbandry and Agronomy. Aside from the regular class and project work the Agricultural Department conducts operations in testing milk, testing soil for acidity, identifying strange weeds, and testing seed corn for any one in the community. The boys have an organized Agricultural Club with their own members as officers. They have their regular meetings the first and third Tuesday evening of each month. These meetings consist of talks given by prominent men in the community and also by some of the boys themselves. This Department is in charge of Mr. Newburn. Page Forty The A arm The Lyceum Course The first number of our lyceum was November 5, 1923. The entertainment was given by Peidro La Verdi, a cartoonist and humorist. The program consisted of singing, drawing, impersonations of Harry Lauder, and playing the accordian. The second number, which was December 15, 1923 was given by the Priscilla Entertainers, a harpist and pianist. In spite of the weather conditions, a large crowd attended, and all were well pleased with the program. The third number on February 27, 1924 was Dr. Taylor, a lecturer and entertainer. A very small crowd attended but those there enjoyed the lecture immensely. PARTIES COUNTRY CENTLEMAN PARTY This year, as usual, we had a Country Gentleman Campaign. The opposing teams were Spark Plugs and Barney Googles. The Spark Plugs lost so it was up to them to give the Barney Googles a party. On November twenty-third, a party was held at the high school. Time was spent in playing games in the classrooms. After this we went to the auditorium where refreshments were served. All left saying they were glad the Spark Plugs had lost because of their ability to give such a party. FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE PARTY The Sophomores entertained the Freshmen at the High School September twenty-eighth. The freshies were very excited as they expected to be initiated but they were soon put at ease. A pleasant evening was spent in playing games. Refreshments consisting of sandwiches and coffee were then served. A STRAIGHT FACE Father: 1 never smoked when I was your age.

To get the team into shape for Princeton, the Coach gave his men a strenuous workout every night after school, for the last three weeks, the last one being the day before the first game was played. MANLIUS AT PRINCETON On September, the twenty-first, when the team played Princeton, greatly to the surprise if everyone, Princeton was completely swept off her feet, the Manlius boys running up a score of 1 9 to 0. The Princeton players succeeded in making first down only once. PRINCETON AT MANLIUS At Manlius, the following Saturday, the Princeton players suffered even a worse defeat. The score of this game was 27 to 0. This large score however, was partly due to the “breaks” which were in favor of Manlius. MANLIUS AT PROPHETSTOWN We went to Prophetstown, October 4, with very little knowledge concerning the strength of their team. From start to finish the Manlius team had pretty much its own way, scoring almost at will. When the final whistle blew the score was 1 07 to 0 in our favor. MANLIUS AT BUREAU From Bureau, our supposedly strongest opponent we expected no weak opposition. The rumors drifting in as to what Bureau was going to do to Manlius, aroused fighting determination of the Manlius veterans to a greater degree than any time previous. The result was the defeat of Bureau 51 to 0. SHEFFIELD AT MANLIUS In this game the Manlius boys played somewhat poorer football than the week before. The Manlius aggregation was also somewhat weakened by various substitutions throughout the game. Sheffield, the weakest team of the Little Six came the nearest scoring on us, having the ball at one time on our ten yard line. The final score was 32 to 0. MANLIUS AT BUDA This game was played in a “sea of mud” which was a hinderance to both teams, neither one having much chance to show their real strength. Miller succeeded in crossing the Buda goal line in the third quarter, for the only touchdown of the entire game. An attempted goal kick failed leaving the score 6 to 0 in our favor. MANLIUS AT OTTAWA On November, the second, the football squad journeyed to Ottawa. Ottawa undoubtedly thought us a weak aggregation, but whatever their thoughts were they were somewhat surprised when Smith, early in the first Page Forty-fou: The A arm FOOTBALL SQUAD Back Row—Elmer Raabe, Kennison Hewitt, John Gish, Carl Draper, Arthur Nearhring, Marvin Miller, Orlo Auman, Eugene Booth. Third Row—Carl Isaacson, Virgil Hurst, manager, Arnold Draper, Lester Oloffson, Delmar Hagan, Stacy Dabler, Roy Hewitt, Orville Thompson, L. E. Perry, coach.

The A arm Page Forty-five quarter, intercepted one of their passes and ran about thirty yards for a touchdown. We failed to score again until the last few minutes of the game when Draper caught a long pass. In the meantime, our opponents had crossed our goal line three times and had made two successful goal kicks making the final score read 20 to 12. LASALLE AT MANLIUS On November, the sixteenth, the LaSalle second team came to Manlius, and were, in spite of the able assistance of seven regulars defeated 20 to 0. After the game all the members of both squads partook of an appetizing feed served by the Domestic Science girls. MANLIUS AT NEPONSET Again the Manlius boys won, romping through the Neponset squad at will, and running up a 7 1 to 7 score. The opponent made their only touchdown by falling on a fumbled punt. TOWN TEAM VS. HIGH SCHOOL This game was played on Thanksgiving morning. The High School team had an easy time of it, as the opponents seemed possessed with but little ambition to interfere with its plays. The Town team never threatened to score. The final score was 26 to 0. As one looks over the record of the team for the past season he cannot help but note the success of the team. Eight letter men of this successful team will be lost by graduation. The success of next year's team depends to a large extent on the development of this year's subs. We have left with us five letter men: King, Miller, Nelson, Lathrop and Hewitt. These five men to-gether with the new men such as Neahring, Hagan, Hewitt, Aumen, Raabe and Isaacson will form a fighting combination such as that for which Manlius has always been known.

Although we lost through graduation several men of last year’s team, we still had on hand a number of experienced men. Our first three games were played before the close of the football season, two of which were played with Annawan and one with Tampico. These games were of little importance, other than to reveal the outstanding players who would compose the team for the season. Draper distinguished himself in the first Annawan game by a display of his skill in the art of basket shooting, and won for himself a berth on the first team which he held for the remainder of the season. The first game in the Little Six which was played on December the seventh, awakened us to the fact that we were up against some tough opposition for the coming season. After a hard fought game in which we played five minutes overtime, we lost to Buda by a score of I 9 to 17. By the time that the Little Six schedule had been played out, we had lost two more games, both of which were to Bureau. In both of these games the Manlius boys showed the fighting spirit, but in spite of their efforts they were defeated both times by only a scant margin. In these games, as well as the others, Glafka displayed great guarding abilities. The other members of the team distinguished themselves by their steady, faithful work from their respective positions. Although the members of this team failed to bring home the Little Six championship, their record is not one to be ashamed of. When one stops to think that a lucky throw would have won any one of the three games lost, he cannot help but think that hard luck is all that lost us the Little Six championship. Throughout the entire season, except possibly the first games, the team displayed brilliant teamwork. We will lose from this year’s team five letter men, Caskey, Oloffson, Glafka, Isaacson and Draper. These are men who have a great deal of experience and all of them at one time or other, in the past season, proved their worth. We have left with us three letter men. King, Miller and Dietz, who with the assistance of Hewitt and Lathrop and a few others on our second team, will play the games for M. H. S. next year. THEY’RE OFF Pete: Wonder how Jack and Blanche are getting along with their love affair? Ike: Oh, they're getting along faster now. He sold his flivver and bought a racing car.

The A arm basketball Tournaments Page Forty-nine BUREAU TOWNSHIP INVITATION The Bureau Township Invitation Tournament was held Friday and Saturday, February twenty-second and twenty-third. Manlius played its first game on Saturday morning with Mineral. These two teams were unevenly matched and as a result the game was of little interest. The score was 2 I to 3 in favor of Manlius. The next game was played in the afternoon with Bureau. This game was hotly contested throughout. A free throw in the closing minutes of the game broke a ten to ten tie, and won the game for Bureau. Glafka, our outstanding player in this game, deserves mention of the fact that he held Dremann, the all star man of the tournament, scoreless. In the evening Manlius played Walnut for third place. The Manlius boys met with but little opposition. The score at the end of the game stood 19 to 5 in our favor. At the end of the tournament we were presented with third place cup. Winners of individual honors were Glafka, who was picked by the officials as guard on the first '‘all-star’’ team and King who was picked as foreward on the second ’’all-star’’ team. Results of the tournament: Buda, first; Bureau, second; Manlius, third; Walnut, fourth. BUREAU COUNTY—SHEFFIELD. ILL. The Bureau County Tournament was held Friday and Saturday, February twenty-ninth and March first. Mineral was our first opponent. The game was of little importance. It proved to be a stepping game for our boys rather than a test of skill and endurance. The score was 33 to 9. The next game which was played on Saturday morning, was with Wyanet. This team was easily defeated 33 to 6, leaving us a step higher in the tournament. In the afternoon we met Princeton, our first strong opponent, and were defeated 1 8 to 12. The chief feature of this game was a lucky streak which enabled Prince, of Princeton, to make five baskets from beyond the center of the floor. In the evening we were lined up with Bureau for third place. As Bureau had defeated us three times this season, the dope was heavily in their favor. Our boys went through this game in great form and had the satisfaction of beating Bureau 26 to 20. This decisive victory with its margin of six points is two greater than the combined margin of their three victories. Winners of individual honors were Glafka, who was placed as guard on the first all-star team and King and Miller, who placed on the second all-star team. Results of the Tournament: Hall, first; Princeton, second; Manlius, third; Bureau, fourth. Page Fifty The A arm STATE DISTRICT—ROCK ISLAND, ILL. In this tournament, we are sorry to say, our team did not play a very important part. We were eliminated from the tournament by Port Byron, who defeated us 7 to 6. TRACK POSSIBILITIES Last year we made a fair showing in both the ‘‘Little Six and County Meet, winning third place in both meets. This year we should have a much stronger track combination. Pierson, our star sprinter, who is back with us again this year, is expected to play a very important part in making the team a success. King, Issacson, Miller and Glafka are the distinguished performers of last year's team and with little improvement will prove dangerous to their opponents. At present, Bureau is one point ahead of us in the Little Six championship race. Whether or not we win the championship for the third successive year depends upon the success of the track team. As this book goes to press, the future appears bright. We should be able to make enough points in the Little Six meet to claim permanent possession of the Championship Cup.

To be successful, a farmer must not only j be able to raise good crops and good livestock. He must be able also to handle the business of bis farm in such a way j that a profit will be left at the end of the year. Here are some of the essentials of a good business farmer: 1. Spend less than you earn. 2. Buy economically and sell wisely. 3. Borrow money only for productive business purposes. 4. Keep your credit good by borrowing conservatively j when it is necessary to borrow at all, paying promptly, and keeping your banker informed about your business j condition.
