Ex-Libris s Foreword 11 NFORTUNATELY all memories no matter how vivid or indelible, will gradually fade and disappear with time unless some medium is used to retain them. This medium my dear readers, we, the senior class, have chosen as the annual, and we sincerely hope that we have succeeded in making it as interesting to you as it will always be to us.

MILLER HENRY RAABE The Board 'P HESE MEN WHO compose the Board of Directors and are, so to speak, | the backbone of the school, deserve our most sincere and unreserved thanks for their labors in our behalf. Though they have labored and struggled,—with all the sincerity and earnestness characteristic of men whose duty it is to serve this institution to make this high school the best, yet we feel that their work is not always as fully appreciated as it should be.

H. S. pride ourselves upon having the best school, the best students, the best athletes, and feel that all other schools in the County fear us when it comes to competition. But we also pride ourselves upon having the best faculty in the State. Each member of the faculty works with the others for our good. Although we do think them hard-hearted when they impose on our good natures by assigning us fourteen pages for one lesson, with all their faults we love them still. Mr. Lewis Ebeneezer Perry was born July 24, 1899 in a little village called Wellsville, in New York. He attended grade school at Indiana, Pa., and Bethany, W. Va. If consulted, he might say of himself, 1 can little note nor long remember WHO 1 did there”, but his teachers can probably tell you what he did there. When grades were finished, he attended Bethany academy, from which he graduated in 1916. Finding that his boyhood days were flitting he immediately started to attend Bethany College, finishing from that institution in 1920 with an A. B. degree. For three years after graduating from Bethany he attended school at Columbia University during the summer months. His first experience as a teacher came when he was called to St. Clairsville, Ohio, for three months in 1920. From there he came to Manlius as an instructor in Science and Athletics. In the fall of 1922 he became principal at M. H. S. and has served in that capacity for the past three years with a marked degree of success. Miss Sue Williams, our instructor in English and Latin, was born in An-sted, West Virginia in 189? She was graduated from the Western Illinois State Normal and Northwestern University School of Speech. For some time she studied at the University of Chicago. As a teacher Miss Williams is a great success. She has taught for the past nine years, serving in the Macomb Junior High School two years, in the St. Charles School for Boys two years, at the Roodhouse High School for two years, filling the position of both teacher and Principal during one year, and was finally called to the Long Point Community High School where she served two years as teacher and one year as Principal of the school. We may say of her: She was like the dew of the morning Sweet and gentle and good. Fresh as the air that encircles Always in kindliest mood. Miss Frances C. Fields comes to us as an instructor in Bookkeeping, Senior English, Civics and Domestic Art. She was born February 12, 19-? at Goodland, Indiana. She was graduated from the public High School and entered the Indiana State University where she graduated in 1922 with an A. B. degree. While a student in the Indiana University she was a member of the Delta Zeta Sorority and History Club and was Pan Hellenic Representative 12 THE ALARM 1925 for her class. Her present home address is Wolcott, Indiana. Miss Fields is particularly given to the F's as you will see. Frances is a child of the Fields Born on the twelFth of February She is accessed with Friendliness With all her fellow-beings. Freshly Fantastic, Flatteringly Faithful. Mr. Lyle Dale Anderson comes directly to us from College. He says of himself: 1 was born one day in the fall—somewhere near the opening of the twentieth century and a little over forty years after the close of the Great Civil War. Like all other kids (horrors), 1 attended grade and High School, finishing at Coon Rapids, Iowa in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Twenty. Four years later I graduated from Penn College, Oskoloosa, Iowa, with a B. A. degree. In Penn College, Mr. Anderson took a quite active part in Athletics, being Captain of the track team in '24, hence his successful career here as Coach. Under his guidance our teams have already won honors in Football and Basketball, and we have great hopes for our track team this year. He was a Man of Honor, Of Noble and Generous Nature.”—Longfellow. Miss Anna McMorris was born at Eleanor, Illinois in 190?. She grew up, attending grade and High School in 1918. She then attended Monmouth College, where she was a member of the Amateur Belles Lettres Literary Society. She was graduated in June 1923 with an A. B. degree. From there she came directly to Manlius as a teacher of Science. She has been with us two short years, helping us over our troubles and giving us Comfort or Command, according to the particular occasion. Her home address is Alexis, Illinois, Route No. 4. Mr. Gene Newburn comes to us as an instructor in Agriculture. He was born at Hoopeston, Illinois, in Vermillion County, and about one hundred miles south of old Chicago. As a lad he attended a little country school near Hoopeston. He was graduated from the Hoopeston High School in 1912. He served fifteen months in the army during the world's war. At the close of the war he took a short agricultural course at Purdue College. Then he entered the Illinois State University from which he was graduated in 1923 with a B. S. degree. Mr. Newburn came here in the fall of 1923 and has served this school most faithfully for the past two years. The Senior Classes of both '24 and '25 have a great deal to thank him for. He has been of unfailing help in the production of our annuals and any praise or honor that may be forthcoming is due largely to him. His understanding and advice have guided us over untrodden paths where our inexperience would have spelled failure. Thanks to him. “Thy nights shall be filled with music And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs And as silently steal away. —Browning. —M. G. G.

They came with that determination to graduate or die in the attempt. Our first year was a very happy one. Due to our superiority in knowledge, the teachers assigned us to rooms three and six. Some of the upper class men said that it was because there wasn’t room for us in the assembly but we re positive that wasn’t the reason. Mrs. Rudiger tried to conv.nce us that a plus and a plus equaled a plus and repeatedly reminded us in Latin class that a grade below seventy was “flunking ”. Miss Perry taught us that “ain’t” ain’t right and Mr. Perry exposed us to General Science but very few of us caught it. We chose Mr. Rudiger for our class advisor and for our choice of class colors toko purple and gold. Our Freshman year soon passed and the first thing we knew we were Sophomores. It was now our turn to tease the Freshies. This year was more important than our first and we now better realized that each year took us nearer to our goal—graduation. We chose Mrs. Glassburn for our advisor and with her aid chose the carnation for our class flower and adopted the motto “B-sharp, never B-flat“. During our Junior year Mrs. Glassburn remained our advisor. Helen Ash from West Virginia entered our class and we chose her for our class president, Norman Miller for vice-president and Donald King for secretary and treasurer. We wish that Helen could have remained and graduated with us this year. We gave the Seniors a banquet, as is the custom for every Junior class to do every year. We believe that all will admit that it was some banquet, and our only wish is that the Junior class of this year will give us a still better one—if that is possible. Now there are twenty that remain. Our class advisor is Miss Fields. We, as Seniors have reached our goal, but we must not stop—only keep on pursuing higher ideals and goals. We have spent four happy years in old Manlius High, each better than the one before. We can go no longer, but our only wish is that the classes in High School and those that will some day enter will learn to love the school as we have. We have found that school days are the happiest—let’s hope that school day memories will be too. —Ella May Adams, 1925 Mother—“Now, children, don’t quarrel. What’s the matter? Karl—“We re playin’ shipwrecked, an’ Eunice won t go in the bathroom and drown herself.’’ Here is the new name for flappers: “Bungalows!” “Painted in front, shingled in the back, and nothing in the attic. THE MANLIUS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL 19 Senior Class Prophecy T HILE VISITING in Southern California in 1930, I determined to visit Hollywood and see how the movies are made. 1 was taken into the studios by a tall fat fellow who I immediately recognized as being Roy Hewitt. He said he had been given the position of guide through Movieland through correspondence with a noted movie director, John Smith. While conversing with him he told me that in a short time the scene would be laid and the greatest picture ever produced would be put upon the screen. It was a portrayal of the lives of the Seniors of '25 in the old M. H. S. building. Two years later I walked into the Palace Theatre in Paris and saw the actual play given by my old classmates. This play proved to me, that, beyond a doubt 1 had graduated with the most brilliant class that ever stepped inside a High School building. Oh!, 1 almost forgot to tell you about the play itself. It was, of coarse, put on under the direction and supervision of John Smith, the noted director. The leading lady was Jeannette Murphy, whom, it was proved was so extremely popular that even the teachers of old M. H. S. waited upon her with the utmost desire of doing her every wish. In the beginning of the play Jeannette had run away, leaving all the country swains crying their eyes out over her disappearance. In an effort to console the boys , Mr. and Mrs. Norman Miller, (Thelma had finally won out in the end) had set up a boarding house called the “Comfort Inn , where each night a party was given. The purpose of these parties was to set off the charms of girls to best advantage with the object of Matrimony. The Belle of the parties was Ella Adams, a sweet girl of seventeen summers. Her curly brown hair and dancing blue eyes are noted everywhere. Mrs. Miller was about to introduce Helen Stonewall and Ila Hartz into the society. Helen was a sweet shy coleen of Ireland while Ila was a titled French woman. Beautiful gowns and costly jewels were much in evidence at the Grand Ball given in honor of their debut. The newspaper rang for months afterward with glowing accounts of their successful entrance into society. Just when things are progressing rapidly Jeannette appears on the scene, much to the amusement of Mrs. Miller. She is garbed in costly silks and treading on air. She takes the city by storm; however her success is but for an hour. Some late guests arrive while she is sitting out with half the boys of M. H. S. She is much disturbed to find that two beautiful creatures have entered the ball room. Their grace and light heartedness, together with their altogether pleasing manners bring them popularity at once. Jeannette, remorseful, jealous, retires to a corner and spends the rest of the evening in a temper. 20 THE ALARM 1925 The two charming young ladies who prove to be Janice Rudiger and Gladys 1. Johnson tell of many exciting experiences on foreign shores. They flit about from one group to another renewing old acquaintances. Their male companies also are surrounded by old friends. The one was formerly a teacher and “coach at M. H. S. The other formerly resided at Thomas. Illinois. While everyone else is having a good time Jeannette and Eugene Booth are sitting in the balcony. Eugene, delighted at having full sway for a time offers his hand while he has the chance. He is rejected, but does not take it seriously to heart, evidently, for he immediately asks Janice for the next dance and moves gracefully around the ball room humming, She Told Me She Loved Me, But Oh! How She Lied . Donald King and Arnold Draper carry off the honors of the evening by demonstrating their wonderful ability to sing. Donld's deep bass voice is just a balance for Arnold’s high-pitched tenor. After several encores they bow themselves out. Amid the uproar that follows their disappearance some feminine voice is heard to exclaim, Oh Dear! 1 always knew Donald Harry would be famous some day . While the laughter from this outburst is dying down a tall slender lady and a short fat man enter and with much excitement announce the wedding of Arminnie Sons and Virgil Hurst, which is to occur immediately in a nearby church. Everyone rushes to the church to see the long-looked-for event take place. The tall slender lady sings the customary solo just before the ceremony. We recognize her as being Ruby Van Deusen, although we had never so much as dreamed that she was our little songbird. The wedding takes place just as every other wedding has for centuries. The happy bride and groom leave immediately for the train which is to carry them to a distant port for their honeymoon. The parson who performed the ceremony is Lyle Nelson who had forgotten his antics after leaving school and studied for the Ministry. He settled down now with his bride, a former Freshman at M. H. S. A few days later a letter is received from Egypt where the happy couple are spending their honeymoon. They told of meeting Tracy Peterson who was on a ship bound for the tombs of Egypt on an exploration trip. There at the end of the play, Donald, captivated by Ruby’s charms kidnaps her and takes her to the parsonage where they are married. Tracy changes his mind about going on that exploration trip and appears on the scene claiming Helen Stonewall for his bride. The Short Fat man whom I told you about awhile ago proves to be Arthur Lathrop. He lays his heart at the feet of Ella Adams who has always admired his six feet of sturdy manhood. Judy deserted by all her old admirers marries an underclassman and lives happily ever afterward, declaring that Junior heroes” surpass Senior Shieks .

THE MANLIUS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL 25 Junior Class Prophecy LAST MONDAY NIGHT through the kindness of Dr. Palmer, head of the Chiropractic Institute, Davenport, Iowa, Mr. Perry, who is an instructor in Manlius Township High School as well as the advisor of the class of '26, was allowed to broadcast the following information which was listened to eagerly by our classmates throughout the world. The program as broadcast is as follows: I will now deliver to the class of 1926 the information which was sent to me telling where and what the class is. Arthur Neahring lives in the heart of Africa trying to teach the word of God to the heathens. Gladys O. Johnson is a great musician and she lives on the island of Cuba. Curtis Hunt who held the name of an artist in school still retains it. He lives in Norway where he is trying to paint the wonderful scenery of that country. Clarence and Violet, otherwise know as Elmer Raabe and Carrie Lebohn having taken the play Clarence'' to heart were united in holy bonds of matrimony and are living in South America where they spend their leisure time digging for gold. Hasel Nelson, the Great Opera singer lives in Paris. Ruby Mohr and Bessie Hansen are nurses but working at different places. The former lives in California and the latter in Florida. Russel Hochstatter is an aviator and for the last four years has been trying to reach the planet Mars. Kenneth Swan, a noted dancer has built several dance pavilions in Es-komo land. He says the Eskomo’s are very good dancers and he says it is because they have such a good leader. Adolf Christensen is living in New Mexico teaching the Indians better methods of farming. Kennison Hewitt is an instructor of Economics in Bethany College, West Virginia. Cyril Dietz is a storekeeper in Chicago, Illinois. This now concludes our program for tonight, broadcasted from the city where the tall corn grows and where the west begins. —B. H. '26 Norman Miller was recently visiting relatives in the Country. He was asked one evening to go after a cow in a nearby pasture. A little later he returned empty-handed. What’s the matter?” he was asked, couldn’t you find her? “Yes, I found her, Norman replied, but she wouldn't mind when I told her to come. 'tlUiH U os£ Letter?- 'ulNCo r The fi vs7 ?

Life is rich, life is earnest. Single blessedness a fib. Man thou art, to man returneth Was not spoken of the rib. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow Is our destined end or way But to act that each tomorrow Finds us nearer marriage day. Life is short, and youth is fleeting. And our hearts, tho’ light and gay Still like pleasant dreams are beating Wedding marches all the way. In the world's broad field of battle. In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle. Be a heroine, and wife. Lives of married folks remind us We can make our lives as well. And departing, leave behind us Such examples that shall tell. Such examples, that another Wasting life in idle sport, A forlorn, unmarried brother Seeing, shall take heart and court. Let us then be up and doing With a heart for triumph set; Still contriving, still pursuing. And each one a husband get. Virgil Hurst (just married)— Yes, dearie, these cakes are delicious, but, as you say, they are a little bit flat.” His Wife (formerly Clara Heurlin)— And 1 followed the recipe exactly and it didn’t say a word about how to inflate them. 28 THE ALARM 1925 AIN’T IT AWFUL? “Boo-hoo-oo-oo, ain’t it awful? When you graduate you have to get up at five o’clock every morning, an’ you have to get meals over a hot stove every six hours all the rest of your life, an’ you’ll never get out of washing dishes, an’ never go anyplace, and never have time to sit and gossip across the aisle when teacher isn’t looking, an’ that ain’t the worst of it either. Boo-hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo. You’ll never have a chance to bluff on a lesson, and you won’t want to chew gum because there won’t be anybody there to catch you at it, an’ nobody ’ll ever come in your room and whisper in your ear, “Come dearie, it’s time to get ready for school’’, and you can’t lay in bed on Saturday morning either, an’ that ain’t the worst of it-t-t-t, Boo-hoo-oo-oo-oo. When you get married your husband will yell, “Hey, it’s time to get up and get breakfast’’ and he’ll call you the “old woman’’ an’ expect ye to patch an’ wash, an’ sew, an’ cook, an’ scrub, an churn, an raise chickens, an bake bread an’ press his trousers every day, en ever’thing, an’ that ain’t the worst of it either. Boo-hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo. When the kids grow up they will start to high school an they’ll come home every nite an’ tell you that Jerry got a lickin’ or Mary kissed the Prof, on the nose, an’ remind you that ye used to be young, and you’ll feel awful-1-1-1-1-11, an’ that ain’t the worst of it either-r-r, Boo-hoo-oo-oo. Then you’ll get old, an’ stiff, an’ ye won’t want to work, an’ you’ll have t’ an’----an’ when you just begin to forget about it somebody’ll come up and tell you y’er gettin’ gray, an’ you’ll look in the mirror and find that all yer curls are gone, an’ you’ve got wrinkles all over your face, an’ you can’t stand up straight, an’ you can’t see good an’ that ain’t, no that ain’t the wor-r-r-st of it either. Boo-oo-hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo. Then you’ll die, and they’ll put ye down in a hole in the ground, and pack you all in tight with clods of dirt so you couldn’t move if ye had to, an’ then they’ll go away an’ leave ye all alon-n-ne forever and ever, and you’ll turn back to dust, an’ nobody’ll know you ever lived and still everybody else will be havin’ a good time and you’ll be lying there all dried up, ready to blow away. Boo-oo-oo-hoo-oo-oo.” —M. G. G. Roy—“So you believe in equal ownership now, Don?’’ Don—“Sure I do. Divide everything equal. It’s the only way.” Roy—“You mean that if you had two horses you would give me one.” Don—“Sure I would.” Roy—“And if you had two cows, would you give me one?” Don—“Of course 1 would.’’ Roy—“And if you had two pigs, would you give me one? ' Don—“Go away with you. You know I got two pigs.” 30 THE ALARM 1925 THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Back Row—Marjorie Swanson, Claretta Lathrop, Lola Mae Hunt, Lois Pierson, Clara Huerlin, Ruby Adams, Doris Olson, Marguerite Raabe.

F ront Row—Miss McMorris, Ruby Mott, Darlene Souser, Glenn Swan, Orville Thompson, Gwendolyn Czeck, Elva McKune. THE MANLIUS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL 31 Sophomore Class Prophecy ¥ E, AS SOPHOMORES, hope that the veiled future will bring to our class success with a capital ‘‘S’’. In our Junior and Senior years I think we will be dignified but ambitious students. My imagination of the future prosperity of my dear classmates may not be justified by subsequent events, but whatever time may bring to them, I hope will be nothing but good luck and fortune. Helen Edlefson and Nellie Hartz I picture as governesses in the South. Lois Pierson will be teaching in a boy’s reform school. She always could tell the poor Freshmen boys how to be dignified. Clara Heurlin and Gwendolyn Czech will be high school teacher's after they graduate from college. Ruby Adams will make a dandy housekeeper if she finds a man to suit her, but she says she is not for sale. If she doesn’t find a man she will teach —school. Marguerite Raabe will be a clerk, but she will have to keep in touch with domestic science for such a position is never good for old maids. She may fall in love with a traveling salesman. Marie Elliott will teach Latin; Martha Johnson will be a Plane Geometry teacher, but not in Manlius High School because she wants to forget our Plane Geometry Class. Elva McKune will be a dancing teacher at a summer resort in Wisconsin. Darlene Souser's excellent voice will win her a career for Grand Opera. Doris Olson and Ruby Mott will start a real beauty parlor in the larger Manlius. Orville Thompson will be a great scientist and inventor. Glenn Swan will be a great Klansman and make speeches for the Ku Klux Klan. Arlo Auman will go to Africa as a missionary; Kenneth Blackmer will sell “Star Car’s for Mr. Perry—then go through a school for mechanics. I am not certain about my dear friend Bessie Hamilton, but I suppose she will be a librarian for a while. My dear friends Marjorie Swanson and Lola Mae Hunt will have to determine their own fates because they are so undecided, I cannot tell what they will be. In closing I wish to say that if we are as intelligent in the future as we think we are as Sophomores, everyone will step aside and make way for THE SOPHOMORES.” —C. M. L. HAS TO HAVE IT. Teacher— Why is a giraffe's neck so long? Orville T.— Because it’s head is such a long way from his body. 32 THE ALARM 1923 History of Sophomore Class T E CAN HARDLY realize that two years have gone by since we entered the Manlius Township High School. But we can realize that the two years have been well spent. We have risen above that class known as Freshmen and have passed the age of being looked down upon by the upper Classmen. We will admit that we were of an emerald hue at first, but this soon wore off. After we became accustomed to our new routine, and chose the rough road of hard work that leads to success, we took on a more brilliant hue. Step by step we have achieved much and step by step we will achieve that which lies before us. Our officers last year were: President, Eleanor Jenkins; Vice President, Lois Pierson; Secretary and Treasurer, Marguerite Raabe. Our officers at present are: President, Claretta Lathop; Vice President, Orville Thompson; Secretary and Treasurer, Ruby Adams. Much school spirit has been shown by our class. The boys took part in the successful football team, while the girls were credited for Glee Club work. Notwithstanding the unusual success which our Class has already attained we look forward with high anticipation to our Junior and Senior years. —M. A. S. A YEARNING Backward, turn backward oh time in thy flight Make me a child again, just for tonight. Show me the jam on the top pantry shelf. Please let me smear it all over myself. Lead me once more to that green apple tree. Bring back the pains, that in youth tackled me. Put me reversed, on my dear mother’s lap. Give me a rap, mother, give me a rap. No one has spainked me in thirty-odd years. Not a blamed soul has been boxing my ears. No one has said, Don’t do that again. I miss the joys that I knew when but ten; I miss old mother’s words, Son, I am shocked”, 1 miss the closet in which 1 was locked. Backward, turn backward, O time in thy flight. Wallop me. Mother dear, wallop me right. 34 THE ALARM 1925 THE FRESHMAN CLASS Back Row—Clifford Stier, Walter Jensen, George Anspach, Karl Draper, Eric Carlson, Robert Carman, Harry Jensen.

THE MANLIUS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL 35 Freshman Class History N SEPTEMBER FIRST, twenty-two boys and girls began their first step of advancement. During that week the football team was organized, to which four of our class belonged: Clifford Stier, Karl Draper, Milton Edlefson and Robert Garman. At the end of the first six weeks was the test in which some failed but the majority passed with a high average. The Freshman-Sophomore party was given in the evening of October seventeenth. Everyone came in disguise. After much amusement, everyone unmasked and played games, after which refreshments were served and all adjourned. One of our class members, LeRoy Wolzfelt, left school. We all hope that he will resume his work next year. Ruth Styer, from Bendina, Kansas, joined our class early in November. She was given a warm welcome by all. The Girls Physical Training classes were organized later in November. They were divided into three groups consisting of from twelve to fourteen girls in each section. The boys then began their basket ball practice for the Little Six league. William Dabler and Robert Garman of our class belonged to the basket ball ten of the M. H. S. The Country Gentleman Party was held on December tenth. The most of the evening was spent by having contests after which refreshments were served, and the party was adjourned. All enjoyed the evening. The Christmas Party was held in the evening of December twenty-second. Each class, and the Faculty, entertained by giving a stunt. Everyone took part in the entertainment. Refreshments were then served. Everyone having wished everyone else a joyous Christmas, the party broke up. During the Holidays, the Freshman class separated for a short time. Some spent the vacation at their homes and others at the homes of relatives. Everyone was ready to begin the New Year right on Monday, the fifth of January. The Semester Examinations were held from January 21 to January 23. On February second, Adelyn Russ from the High School at Sheffield joined our class. She was heartily welcomed by the Freshman pupils. —R. V. H. Cyril— So your father declared at first that he didn't want to lose you? Jeanette—“Yes, but 1 won his consent.

I don’t like that last expression. ???STUP I ov Sfp; SM LIM through WE ARE -PRouO of ANNATE NlE, S Uf, LytF 4 d FffANCfc'S ■Janice 38 THE ALARM 1925 PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY Back Row—Donald King, Elmer Raabe, Clifford Stier, Cyril Dietz, Arnold Draper, Kenneth Swan, Lyle Nelson, Eric Carlson, Roy Hewitt.

A FRESHMAN COMPLAINT This General Science makes me sick A Freshman sighed one day. There surely isn’t any use To learn things just this way. My head just whirls about all time I’ve got so much to do. My algebra is unprepared; Hard problems, tho’ but few. Why do they teach us Latin When it's a language dead, ‘‘Why, it’s a tho’t provoker” The smiling teacher said. Just give me two good hours, A flivver and some gas. Look though you will to see me. I’ll never be in Class. —M. G. G. Wanted—To correspond with some refiined lady. Object: Matrimony.

THE HIDDEN POOL 1 know a pool with shadows deep, Where lilies nod and rushes sway Where wild birds come to dip their wings. While shadows join them in their play. The ferns and pussy willows bend And bow to greet the rising moon. I hear the whip-poor-wills’ sad notes And the weird cries of the lonely loon. Shy dryads haunt the sheltered nooks. With lilies crowned and clothed in green. Or are they by my fancy formed To beautify this sylvan scene. I stand and listen by the pool And wonder if I really can Hear dimly through the distant woods The sweet elusive pipes of Pan. —G. C. 2 7.

THE MANLIUS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL 45 Department of Agriculture Mr. Jardine, the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, says: Farming is a complex business, many forces, some of which the farmer can control, others which he cannot control, enter into it. Managerial ability in farming consists in controlling the controllable forces and adopting the farm busiess to the uncontrollable ones . The farmer who has the greatest number of these forces in his control has many more things in his favor as compared to the one who exerts little or no effort in controlling the factors relating to his work and to his business. Primitive Agriculture diverted only slightly from the course followed by Nature in the processes of producing crops. It was only a physical modification, which the early farmers employed. He simply stirred the soil, seeded and harvested his crops, and that was about the limit of his control over agricultural conditions. He allowed his herds and flocks to roam upon the prairies and to graze upon the hills of such grass and other forage as was furnished by nature. As soon as his soil became unproductive, and as soon as his cattle and sheep began to lack for want of food, he could move to some other place, and there was no tresspassing law to stop him, nor any exchange of deeds, nor transfer of mortgages to make his change of location possible. But in this present age of farming, much the same laws govern the action and operations of the farmer as have for other ages past governed many other lines of work. Farming is still an occupation directely connected with, and quite dependent upon the works of Nature. Other laws, however, modify the relation of the farmer to these works. The more complex farming deals with such things as, bringing about maximum production under unfavorable conditions of seeding, growing, harvesting and marketing. It has to do with maintaining soil fertility, grain selection, breed types, economic fruit and vegetable growing and marketing, grain merges, market fluctuations and many other things of which a successful farmer must know more or less about. If he neglects to acquaint himself with these various factors, he not only weakens his chances for success in his occupation, but he also lowers the standards of the business of farming. An energetic and ambitious farmer is ever eager to learn all he can about the various crises arising in the business of farming, and to learn how he may best meet them. The less trouble he has in securing such knowledge the easier it will be for him to work out the desired solution. The purpose of Vocational Agriculture in the High School is to place valuable information in the way of more or less ambitious boys so they can fit themselves for the highest efficiency in the great business of farming. If they are not already interested in Scientific Agriculture, they often devlop a keen interest in it because of their study and use of farm practises as followed in Vocational Agriculture. This Department is in charge of Mr. Newburn. 46 THE ALARM 1925 VIRGIL HURST Winner as a Dairy Judge SOMEWHAT EXTRAORDINARY and pleasing honors came to our High School during the last year, when Virgil Hurst took part in the National Dairy Judging Contest held at Milwaukee in the Fall. Virgil began his work as a Dairy Judge when he showed an unusual amount of interest in Dairy Cattle while taking part in Animal Husbandry class judging work. His first opportunity to enter a competitive contest came on May 22, 1924, when he, with other members of our School took part in a Sectional Contest held at Mendota. He did not win any honors there, but with his mistakes in mind, Virgil resolved to do better the next time the opportunity came to him. It did come to him when during the latter part of June, he went with a few more of our boys to take part in the State Judging Contest held at Urbana. Competing against 111 other boys from all over the State, Virgil carried off first honors in judging Dairy Cattle. During the month of September, 1924, when the State Fair was held at Springfield, Virgil was selected as one member of the Bureau County Dairy Judging team to take part in the Boy’s Club Contests held at the Fair. This team consisted of three boys representing the best Dairy Judges in the County and was in charge of Mr. Haber-korn, County Club Leader. These boys spent nearly a week at the State Fair and were given an almost unlimited amount of recognition and freedom. In more or less keen competition with other Club teams in the State, our boys entered this contest and came out with flying colors as winners. This was indeed a great victory for them. It entitled them to represent Illinois in the National Dairy Judging Contest for Club Boys at Milwaukee. In preparation for this contest, our team was taken to Urbana for the remainder of the week to be trained by the University Dairymen. The Milwaukee Contest was held in September and was a great experience for our Boys. Competition was a little too keen for them and Iowa took first place with Illinois ranking ninth. This was no small honor, and Manlius High School did very well to have a boy such as Virgil Hurst to represent us in the National Dairy Judging Contest. 48 THE ALARM 1925 FOOTBALL SQUAD Back Row—Mr. Anderson, Coach; Eugene Booth; Curtis Hunt; Adolph Christensen; Elmer Raabe; Orlo Auman; Lyle Nelson.

THE MANLIUS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL 49 Football Season 1924 Our new coach, Lyle Anderson, gave his first call for football recruits on September 1st. About fifteen reported and out of this number but three were veterans so the team had to be practically remodled from last year's second team. M. H. S. AT ROCKFALLS. After about three weeks of hard training we met our first opponent, Rockfalls, on September 19th. The game was played in a steady downpour of rain and we dropped our initial game I 2-0. M. H. S. AT PRINCETON. The following week on September 27th we met Princeton whom we had defeated twice last year. Princeton was out for revenge and on the muddy field we were on the short end of a 2 7-7 score. Blackmer, our left end scored our touchdown in the first few minutes of play on a pass. NEPONSET AT M. H. S. On October 3rd we met the strong Neponset team in a well matched game and won 6-0. Our lone score was made by captain Lathrop on a fumbled punt after we had held our opponents for downs on the yard line. WYANET AT M. H. S. On October 9th, we played Wyanet and won easily 54-6. Our left guard Auman and right guard Neahring were out or the score would have undoubtedly been higher. BUDA AT M. H. S. We played our first league opponent, Buda, on October I 7th and won easy in an eventful game, 59-0. M. H. S. AT BRADFORD On October 24th we played Bradford. Though greatly outweighed we won by the close score of 22-21. The score at the end of the first half was 1 6-0 in our favor but in the last half our opponents made twenty-one points while we were making six. WALNUT AT M. H. S. Our second league opponent was Walnut whom we played on October 30th. We won by the score of 60-0. An exciting event was when our great half-back King, was hurt. BUREAU AT M. H. S. We met our third and last league opponent on November 6th. Although Bureau made some fine runs and thus threw a scare into us, we won by the decisive score of 1 9-0. This game decided the champion of the Little Six League . This year made the third consceutive year in which we held the league championship without being scored upon. Much credit for our success this year goes to Mr. Anderson, our Coach. 50 THE ALARM 1925 Football Scores and Standing in “Little Six” Won Lost Pet.

TRACK Last year we had an excellent track team which copped first in the Invitation meet at Sterling, first in the “Little Six championship meet and also first in the County meet. Although we shall miss such stars as Draper, speed merchant who took three firsts in the county; Glafka, our stellar man in the pole vault; Isaacson, the man in the high jump and weights and Olaffson and Caskey, we should have much good material left. Such men as Miller in the discus, high jump and broad-jump; King in the sprints; Hunt in the pole vault and Neahring and Auman in the half-mile should pile up points for us. TRACK SCHEDULE May 16 ........... Little Six Meet May 23 ................. County Meet 56 THE ALARM 1925 Social Functions THE FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE PARTY. About the middle of October, the Sophomores had arranged for the Annual Freshman and Sophomore Party. Invitations were given out, telling the guests to mask for a Hallowe’en Party. About seven-thirty, ghosts, witches, and eats gathered at Manlius High School. “Mors est”, was the password. As they passed into the gymnasium they found it splendidly decorated with ghosts, witches, corn stalks and pumpkins. For the first half hour it was “Who is who?” Then everyone unmasked, and games were played. Miss Williams entertained us by telling fortunes. Then a delicious supper was served, quite early, because some of the hostesses had arranged to go to Sheffield with some of the guests. The remaining people played more games. The evening closed with the lights going out and the ghosts being frightened home. LYCEUM ENTERTAINMENTS. The Fauble Entertainers came to our auditorium on November, the twenty-fourth, and presented to the Manlius Community one of the best programs ever given by a Lyceum Bureau. Mr. Faubel posed as Indian, Irish, Swedish, Scotch and rural characters, while Mrs. Faubel assisted him in practically all his work. She, also is an impersonator and musician. Another young lady assisted and displayed her art with the piano accordian. Edward Everett Kemp, “The Man with the Million Dollar Laugh”, came to our auditorium on December the fifteenth and gave us a wonderful program. He is widely known for his wide variety and standard pieces of literature. Helen Waggoner came to us very highly recommended. Her entertainments consisted mostly of character impersonating, which were very clever and interesting. Both young and old were well pleased with her impersonations. Our fourth number consisted of magic stunts done by Edward Reno, a magician, of thirty years experience. Many of the patrons of Manlius and New Bedford looked forward to his program, having seen him perform years before. Some of the children of the grade school assisted Mr. Reno which, added much to the program. —Ila T. Hartz THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN PARTY. This year we held our annual Country Gentleman party on Friday evening. The school was divided into three groups, the red, the orange and the green. The “reds” secured the most subscriptions, so it was up to the orange and green groups to give the party. Directions for giving a party were sent out by the Curtis Publishing Company. By following these and adding other amusements and games a very enjoyable evening resulted. THE CHRISTMAS PARTY. Before Christmas vacation we had a Christmas party. This party consisted mostly of each class and the faculty providing a stunt for the evening’s entertainment. We first looked into a photographers studio. The Freshmen granted us this opportunity, and while visiting it we saw wedding pictures, family and school groups and individual portraits. We next witnessed the “Monsonford” on its way to Manlius. The Sophomores gave, “A Bachelor’s Reverie.” We now saw all of the old time sweethearts of our bachelor friend. The Juniors gave a very clever program. We will call it “At the Movie.” By visiting the Manlius theatre you can witness almost the same things as we did then. The Seniors gave “A Mock Wedding”. Eugene Booth was the timid and shrinking bridegroom and Gladys I. Johnson, the blushing bride. The oaths of marriage were administered by Donald King, the preacher. After the wedding ceremonies all the friends showered congratulations on the happy pair. Last but not least, the faculty and “Smitty”, composing the orchestra broadcasted numerous selections. All enjoyed these. Especially interesting were their touching ballads and the selection called “Sleep.” After this program refreshments were served, after which we went home. Miss Perry, a former teacher visited us. All of us were glad to see her. —Ella Adams, 1925 THE MANLIUS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL 57 Calendar SEPTEMBER. 1— Hurrah! School began today.

Year by year they are growing in import' ance and number. They are growing, too, in beauty and character, so that many high school annuals now excel the books issued from colleges a few years ago. In this ad' vancement we have had no small part. For more than twenty' five years we have been helping create representative annuals for schools thruout the middle west and south and thru our help' ful co'operation have won a position of recognized leadership among annual engravers. Last year three of our annuals won four first and second prizes in state and national contests—a testi' monial to our service of which we are proud. This is one of 154 annuals, published in eleven states, that bear the Indeeco imprint this year. Not content to rest on laurels won we have worked out plans to make our service to 1926 staffs more helpful than ever. Editors, business managers or faculty advisors are invited to write and give us opportunity to explain how Indeeco Service can help them publish the best annual they have ever had.
