If in years to come the pictures, etc. , contained herein, serve to call up before your mind pleasant memories of your days in M. H. S., we shall feel that our time has not been spent in vain and that we have had a reasonable degree of success. We realize that, inasmuch as this is our first attempt at journalism, mistakes and shortcomings are inevitable. However, judge them kindly, and please enjoy the chance virtues of this book to the utmost.

N-ever miss a lesson, but disclaim our fate; E-ver at our duties, ne ' er a moment late. T-eachers oft grow weary, feeling some regrets E-very time they find a boy or girl who frets. E-cstasies and gladness just before we part; N-o fears of cold misfortune dwell in a single heart. F-orward March! Courage! such mottoes let us read O-n searching for success, better still to heed. U-pward ever aiming, in fields broad and new: R-ich rewards are lurking and await a few. T-hus striving, e ' er pushing onward in the race, E-agerly pursuing and never breaking pace. E-ach day let ' s live a school day, our work well done, N-o idle hopes cherish, till victory is won. —Katharine L. Bricker ' 14. Senior Class Officers Vaughn Dean Geneva Hoffman Zelda Greenlee Zent Garber Lewis Brumfielu President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Sergeant-at-arms Lucille Cairns Lucille is a jovial girl, good-natured, and conse- quently she seems to fit in any place. Is rather sarcastic at times, however, but she has many good qualities which completely overshadow it. One of her many virtues is that she has a goodly supply of what most of us lack — common sense. She has a kindly spirit and a friendly air. Hugh Osbun Hugh is another of our mental phenoms. His subtle reasoning in Math, and Physics is a con- stant source of wonder to his classmates. Secret- ly admires the girls but never lets it appear. Whence is thy learning? 4 f WiLHELMINA HEYER Bill has worked hard during her four years, and is finishing with a good record. Inclined to disagree and argue. For what she will, she will, you may depend uponit. 3 y : ;::: (f ' QI . M- 4 Carl Thieme Carl is one of the fine commercial pupils. He studies as little as possible, but generally man- ages to blufi ' his teachers. He is well paid that is well satisfied. Margaret Hursh - — ■ ' - Here is the quietest girl we ever knew. Popular with the girls and. admired by the faculty. She has two eyes so soft and brown; take care. Meade Spencer Here is a man of whom we all feel proud. He is always courteous, always the same. Meade is quite an artist, also has some musical and dra- matic ability. Would there were more men like this one. MAE TINKEY - - 70 _ Mae surely believearthat the best study of man- kind is man. She is an all-round good girl, and seems to fit in any place. She is one who never misses a good time, but who, if necessity de- mands, can be quite dignified. Away with books, let ' s have some fun. DONALD ChESROWN - W - -- ' Donald is always courteous and noted for his polished manners? He likes to cause a disturb- ance. Greater men have lived, but I don ' t believe it. Matilda Rust CM — ' - - dl This is the girl who loves basket ball, esp cially this year ' s captain. She is a fine student. A contented mind above ' all. y ' % ' . - CA e. Leo Fox 6 Always friendly and in good humor, and would have made a fine, husky foot ball player, if his mamma would have let him play. As proper a man as one shall see in a summer ' s day. Henrietta Frank - - She is always yawning and apparently suffering from loss of sleep. Not accustomed to study very much. Popular with the girls of the class. So calm, so steady, so true was her nature. Harry McNiece . -- -- y- ' Motorcycles form the chief diversion in life for this man, and he is always riding — that is, when he is awake. He was once in love, but we think he is cured now. Thou seemest to enjoy thy life. Lucille Beattie Her aim after she finishes high school will be to forget her year ' s course in Physics. A good student in everything else. faculty. She hath a winsome smile. ' Popular with the Ned ' Willis 3 7 t if- ' - ' C ' ' y ,, During his Senior year Ned has become quite a society leader. ' Very popular with the fair maidens. However, he is a person who will en- dure no opposition to his will. Though vanquished, he could argue still. Lillian Gifford r Aha! Here ' s the girl who has a good time. Lillian is a good pupil but is somewhat averse to hard study. We are told that her chief characteristic is her lack of stature. We know better. She is lots of fun. So full of mirth and cheerfulness. ' ' Bryan Miller 63, Bryan is one of the best all round fellows in the school. He is quite an artist and is also inter- ested in music. ' A friendly heart gets many friends. Miriam Grabler jreat Miriam is very bright and lively. Being a talker, she is popular with everybody. Blest with charm and certainty to please.

He was the leader of the famous Rubetown Band. I hate nobody. Claude McDonald CL _ Claude has no doubt of his own ability. He could be an A-1 student, if he chose, but is rather inclined to lead an easy life except when some- body is around to argue with him. He is one of the very few who have won Miss Hemington ' s favor. He has more business in a day than some men in a lifetime. ' ' class he can shout more triple-jointed words than anybody else in the Senior class. Has been a member of the Orchestra during his four years in High School. I never cast a single reflection except in the mirror. Helen Bloor £ •- .. AJ Marguerite Kienle C-. -i9. Marguerite is quiet and unassuming, but is al- ways chosen when a dependable person is needed. Her chief hobby is music and she is a member of both the orchestra and glee club. Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low. Charles Reynolds Charles is more particular than the vainest of maidens, when it comes to his hair. In the Phiz Helen has a marvelous intellect. Why? How Jt 77 A - - f could she be editor-in-chief of our Annual staff if rf- ' she were not unusually brilliant? Shines in all her classes and is fond of music, but can ' t carry a tune in a bucket. Helen of Troy was not her equal. Martin Bushnell o - ' QL-.,-. - j2 .J- - ' ' -- - Here is a fellow whose chief aim in life is to en joy himself and have a good time. Has a gen erous heart. Time elaborately thrown away. d). Marguerite Eichelberger 3 ] ,? L,Xi - To say the least, Eich is always (on time? Dotes upon the latest styles and fads. She is always playing- a trick on some one. Is rather vain. A blithe heart makes a blooming visage. ' ' (And so does powder. ) J! ' ' OvWalter Stone Uo Ji - Y ' Z ( _- J k Stony is one of the busiest men in school. He enters into all the activities of school life, has fine lessons, and still has time to hold a nice position outside of school. He was a man of business. Mary Ross -r- ' ' 2!T.M-(lJU.o(} U 6 ' 3.

Of manners gentle; of affections mild. Norman Center Norm carefully hides his thoughts under a veil of silence. While not addicted to study, he has ability along scientific lines. He has never al- lowed the fair sex to enter into his scheme of things. Wise boy! Women are the bane of his existence. Geneva Hoffman Ttu. Jj- l--- - - L.- -X s t— ' ( Always laughing and enjoying life. Dutch has the ill luck of being the Vice President of the Senior class. Another of the girls who hate Physics. Thou seemest to enjoy life. Harold Byerly Pickles is said to hate work and how he has slipped through high school is a mystery to all. I am as sober as a judge. Marguerite Goetz -? ■f ' -Aic z— .,,-,-x ' ' Marguerite ' s chief aspiration is music; she is a very fine pianist. Quiet and always calm; she therefore makes a fine commercial pupil. Studious, let me sit. John Charles ClZ eJ- Ot - A quiet little fellow who is always in good humor. He smiles sweetly at the girls, but can never get up enough courage to make a date. Short but sweet. ' ' Jy . -yS- S: ?! . ? ! ' Burndette McCreary Mac likes to have her own ' way. In spite of this she is popular with everybody. Has won great fame for herself by her singing. If Mac is around you are sure to have a good time. A constant spirit, bubbling over with laughter. Jay McIrvin Cuba is rightly named, for he comes to Mans- field from that sunny island. Rather a good student, but inclined to become boisterous at times. Crazy about some of our fair maids. A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be. (£i .- --U . ' % , ..A Ruby DooLiTTLE .. ,. Ruby is not much of a mixer, but is admired by all her classmates. A violinist of no mean ability. She will succeed for she believes all she says.

A good student and one who can always be depended upon. However, she is inclined to laugh easily and enjoy life to the utmost. Do you wonder that she was made Grind Editor? I find that nonsense is singularly refreshing. 9 aJy-T- - - n r Toddy Chesrown This man ' s chief desire is to forget the horrors of Virgil.

Don Osbun J - Don has attended our high school in his Freshman and Senior years, spending the remainder of the time in the Milwaukee schools. He is usually sarcastic and difficult to please.

Percy Pecht - fc -t :;- , Percy is an all-round good fellow, well liked by both sexes. He slides through school with the least possible study. He was captain of the 1913 foot ball team. One of the few immortal names that were not born to die. William Marquis 7 (£.Xi Here is one of our star athletes.

A dauntless spirit. ,£- Christine Brunk ' J sC - - -- ' Christine is rather quiet and not disposed to push herself to the front. Popular with her teachers, but is not a pet. Leaves behind her a good record in spite of the fact that she loathes hard study. Little said is easiest mended. Paul Fribley ' lid ??t .G£ J. r .. Oj J Paul is the only real man in the whole Senior class. Why so? Let me whisper it to you— He is engaged to be married! He has socialistic tendencies and can argue your head off.

We had our numerous trials From our higher classmen great: The haughty taunts of Sophomores — That is a Freshman ' s fate. But we, like Job, had patience, And next year, in our turn, Compelled those new, green Freshies A similar fate to learn. Oh! happy was our Junior year. With all its Festives gay! And luckily we passed Exams, Except — well, I wont say. And then we came as Seniors — Something grand, and great, and fine; And hoped and prayed with beating heart To graduate in time. Now, all is well that ends well. As in this case is seen. Take off your hats and wave them high To old Nineteen-Fourteen. Senior Class History ' NE bright morning in September, 1910, OW more than one hundred boys and girls |i entered the doors of the Manslield High School as Freshmen. For some time we wandered around the halls rather aim- lessly and were jeered at by our upper- After some time, however, the grand head ' Mr. Hall, succeeded in getting us all to the auditorium, where he, after shouting till he was hoarse, and getting very angi-y, succeeded in getting us into our proper sections and classes. All year we battled with subjects, strange and new. Our studies kept us up until the wee small hours of the morning, but we had plenty of perseverance, and in September, 1911, we again entered the portals of the old brick mansion, but now, not as Freshmen, but as proud and haughty Sophomores. Oh! ours was a proud and happy class! Ah, now we in turn taunted the Freshmen, and we, too, had the privilege of electing class officers. Claude McDonald was chosen as our president, and very ably he filled the office. We soon took an active interest in athletics, and some of the boys who are now our stars, started their career in 1911. Oh, happy was the Junior year for the class of 1914. We are all ready to vouch that it was the cream of all. First came the election of class officers and Richard Maxwell, as president, managed affairs very well. Committees were appointed by him to arrange for the annual Junior-Senior Reception. For the reception the auditorium was tastefully decorated with ferns and red and white streamers running from a large red and white paper canopy under the center chandelier. The essential feature of the evening ' s entertainment was a modern drama entitled Ellen ' s Elopement, which was splendidly presented and gave evidence of much hard work by both Miss Hemington and the players. The cast included La- Donna Harter, Charles Reynolds, Helen Them, Claude McDonald, Lucile Oberlin, Gordon Patterson and Meade Spencer. After the reception, the play was twice given in public, before vei-y large and appreciative audiences. Some weeks later we gave the Junior Party at the Masonic Temple. Dancing was the principal diversion of the evening. The party was a pronounced success. Now we have reached the promised land and are Seniors. Seniors! Think of the significance of that name. We are now the ruling portion of the school and we are proud to be in such a position. Early in the fall we elected class officers and Vaughn Dean was chosen president. Under his guid- ance a ll things are progressing finely. Next the Annual Staff was elected and entered upon the task set before them by their class mates. After many class meetings and much discussing we have decided upon our class pins and invitations. The Senior Quartette made its appearance not long since and immediately became very popular. Now we are so engaged in the social whirl that we seldom stop to think that it is a matter of a few months until we will receive our diplomas and our life at M. H. S. will be finished. However after these four years of struggles and pleasures we expect, in June, to leave the old school; yet we are sure that our pleasant memories and happy recollections of our four years spent in M. H.S. will make us feel ourselves a part of the dear old school forever. The Senior ' s Toast Here ' s to M. H. S. ! Where one can ' t shirk, But spend four happy years of fun and work; PuzzHng over lessons that seemed such a bore- Now that they ' re finished, we love the old school more. Here ' s to the Superintendent, and Principal too— The finest men whom we ever knew. And if anyone says the system ' s not good. We can honestly answer: They did all they could. And here ' s to the Faculty! Long may they reign And assign those lessons of terror and pain. We will heartily thank them in future strife For pounding into our heads the necessities of life. Here ' s to our Under-classmen! May they be As clever and wise and learned as we. And oh, how we love them — the dear little Crickets! — For squandering their coin on our athletic tickets. And here ' s to each other, held in high esteem. Members of the class of Nineteen Fourteen! And in our minds will dwell forever The happy days that we spent together. —Martha Chambers. In 1930 I.

Already the fe) 1 (S; Freshmen, having been in school only two j- jj5s days, had had two class meetings, and in spite of the efforts of the Sophomores, had succeeded in electing a captain and had agreed on wear- ing blue flannel shirts as the best way of recognizing each other during the rush. On Friday morning at ten o ' clock practically the entire student body was surging back and forth on the campus. The Sophomores gathered in one big horde around the fire circle (as the fellows called the place where the football fires were burned) and in the middle of this crowd the biggest Sophomore in school tightly held the precious cane. The Freshmen were assembling quickly now to the right of them, and at 10:30 two of the Upper-classmen stepped forward, consulted with the captains of the two classes, blew a whistle and the rush was on. The Freshmen came across the two hundred yards that separated them from the Sophomores, like a whirl- wind. Ci ' ash! The first line was thrown back, the second and the third followed and the Freshmen fell back to reorganize. Now Freshmen yelled Mc- Pherson, their captain, Let ' s get ' em this time. You know who ' s got the cane— big Tuttle! It ' s him we want, see? Let ' s go now. Remember if we can ' t break through on a straight buck we can climb up over them or burrow underneath them. Are you ready? Hi! Hi! yelled the Freshmen. All right; here we go. Everybody, altogether hit them hard now! Boom! Crash! The classes came together and this time the Freshmen had broken through. Stop that hole there Sophs, yelled Corbin the Sophomore Captain, as he noticed the Freshmen pouring in through the opening that McPherson and two other Freshmen had made; and stop it they did, but not before fifteen Freshmen had slid through; but what were fifteen Freshmen in the middle of a maddened mob of two hundred Sophomores. Back to back fellers and fight it out, said Mc- Pherson quickly to the fourteen other Freshmen beside him in that howling gleeful mob of Sophs. Now we ' ve got you. Fresh, they yelled, and the freshest of the lot too. Oh, you dandies! The rush had now become a general fight and the exchange of blows was fast and furious. The little crowd of Freshmen were becoming exhausted. Where, where were the other Freshmen? Why didn ' t they break through and help them out. Suddenly McPherson called breathlessly: Look-in-the-oak-if-we-move-this-bunch-there-they -fall- on-these-Sophs-and-help-us. Right-o, Mac! one of them yelled, let ' s try it. Slowly but surely the fighting, infuriated mob of Sophomores covered the ten yards necessary for them to be under the oak. Not un- til they were under the tree did the Sophs discover the trick and then it was too late, for the Freshies had started to drop from the tree. Crack! Puff! Bang! Crack! It was fairly raining Freshmen and the effect was the one desired; the little bunch in the middle was strengthened, the Sophs were being cut up in small groups and were being quickly disposed of. Just then. through a small opening, McPherson saw the precious cane on the ground and big Bob Tuttle who had been its guardian was dazedly searching for it— evidently a Freshman had just fallen on him, both feet first. Like a flash Mac had the cane and was making for the edge of the crowd. He slipped it down one of the legs of his trousers, and fighting like a tiger finally reached the edge of the campus. Stopping a moment he held up the cane, waved it and yelled, 0 you Sophs and then turned and ran for the lake; but whSt could he do with it there? Where could he hide it? Nowhere now because it would be fatal to stop. Buen, the half-miler, was only two hundred yards behind him. He must de- cide something, and that quick. The boathouse was just in front of him. Now he had it. There were the canoes; they had just been painted, but that didn ' t make any difference. Jumping into the first one, he threw the cane into it, picked up the paddle and started across the lake. After fussing with the cane he looked back. Five canoes had started and before he could take two more strokes they were almost on him. He must do something, so picking up a stick in the bottom of the canoe he flung it far out over the lake. Game ' s up. Fresh, said two voices simultaneously as two pairs of arms caught the sides of his canoe, Hand over the cane. I haven ' t got it, he replied. Don ' t tell us that you threw it overboard, because what you threw was only a stick; now where is it? You can search me if you want to, but I told you what I did with it. I don ' t look as if I swallowed it, do I? That ' s enough from you. my fresh one: we will just paddle back to the boathouse and make a search. But it was useless and the thorough search of the lake failed to reveal the stick he had thrown overboard. So he must have thrown it because if it had been a stick it would have surely been seen floating on the surface, but the cane would sink because of the heavy iron head. Well, he certainly hasn ' t got it, said Corbin, scratching his head and turning to McPherson. Beat it. Fresh. And Mac, only too glad of a chance to get away, did as he was bidden, immediately. He was immediately surrounded by his classmates who asked with one voice, Did you get it, Mac? Yes, he answered. Come to my room tonight after nine and I ' ll show it to you, but don ' t let them (turning toward the Sophs ) know. Then he immediately wended his way to his room and cleaned himself up. Never will be able to wear that suit again, he said to himself as he tossed what was left into the waste basket, but I don ' t care, I got the cane anyway. Wonderingly the Freshmen began dropping in his room about eight-thirty. Where is it now? What did you do with it? Did you throw it into the lake? were some of the questions hurled at him. A few minutes after nine when his room was packed, as well as the hall outside, and some two hundred Freshmen had gone home, seeing they could not get in, Mac arose from the window-seat, opened the door of his closet and pulled out the cane. Why it ' s green! the crowd yelled. Yes, on one side, he answered, but not on the other, for I only had time for one side. To make it short, you all know they were painting the canoes. There was a can of paint and a brush in the one I jumped into. I dobbed the brush over it as in lay in the bottom of the canoe, and it really did look like the upper part of the keel. Then I threw that old stick out just as they got to me, but I ' m sure I don ' t know why they didn ' t find it. Coming back from supper I slipped down to the boathouse and got in out of the canoe. I was afraid they would notice it, but they did not: so here it is. Say, did any of you fellows bring anything to eat? Walter Stone ' 14. The Loving Cup ID you ever hear about the time we pre- r Yr sented Mr. Sydale with a loving cup? Who ' - ' • was Mr. Sydale? Well, he was the coach of our foot ball team, and a finer man never coached a team. He wasn ' t very old, and outside of school he was just like one of the fellows. All the foot ball men thought he was the cream-de- menthe— No, that ' s not what I mean — well, anyway they thought he was the biggest potato in the hill, and anything he said was all right. I am getting off my subject a little, but to explain in full the horrible details of the loving cup episode, I must tell a little about what happened before that time. Our foot ball team of the year Nineteen Hundred and You Know, won but few games, butas we had some bad luck in players being injured, rotten refereeing, etc., we were glad enough to hold our opponents to scores as low as possible. But, notwithstanding the showing made, (which was not Mr. Sydale ' s fault) the team stuck to him, and when the time for the Christmas exercises drew nigh (the foot ball players always re- ceive their letters at that time) they got together and appointed a committee to select a nice loving cup, which would be presented to Mr. Sydale on the day of the Christmas exercises. I was a member of the committee and therefore know all of the inside facts of the loving cup episode. We (the committee) went to one of the leading jewelry stores and selected a cup that suited our fancy as well as our pocketbook. But when we told the young lady clerk that we wished to have the players ' names en- graved on the cup, she gravely informed us that we would need a larger one. We therefore selected a larger one and left it at the store so that the names could be engraved on it at once. At noon of the day the cup was to be presented, I went to the jewelers after it. The young lady of whom we had purchased the cup seemed agitated and in a great hurry. (I discovered afterwards that her young man was outside waiting for her.) She wrapped the cup in tissue-paper and put it into a paste-board box, without letting me see the names engraved upon it. I arrived at school rather late and, as the cup was so nicely wrapped, I didn ' t take the trouble to unwrap it — and thereby hangs this tale. The auditorium was packed that afternoon and after the exercises were over we received our letters. Then that noble hero, Cap ' n Peck, went upon the plat- form and in a trembling voice asked Mr. Sydale to please come forward. Mr. Sydale complied with this unexpected request and Cap ' n Peek, (after he had swallowed his Adams Apple five or six times) made a very graceful presentation speech and then handed the tissue-paper wrapped cup to Mr. Sydale. Mr. Sydale slowly stripped off the tissue-paper, while the students became very quiet. After un- wrapping the cup, his eyes fell upon the engraving thereon, and he seemed to choke with suppressed emo- tion. This continued for several moments and then he thanked the players for the loving remembrance, in a rather husky voice. I was filled with emotion and noble thoughts myself, and continued in this condition until several minutes later, when Mr. Sydale cornered me and showed me the engraving on the cup. I nearly fainted when I read what was on the main face of the cup. On it was engraved : PRESENTED TO PRESIDENT BAUMGARTNER BY THE MEMBE RS OF THE OHIO BREWERS ' ASS ' N And on another face of the cup I read this witty verse: May your days be long And full of cheer. May you be happy While drinking beer. Can you blame Mr. Sydale for being full of sup- pressed emotion after reading that? But, like the gentleman he was, he never cracked a smile, but he did kid the committee a great deal, after they found out how he had received a cup with such statements on it. The Ohio Brewers ' Association was holding its con- vention in our city at that time and as its members held their president, Mr. Baumgartner, in great esteem, they decided to present him with a nice loving cup. Of course they had to buy their cup at the same store we bought ours, and of course they had to get mixed when we went after ours, but all ' s well that ends well and Mr. Sydale says that he treasures the real loving cup a great deal more on account of the en- joyment he got out of receiving the other one. —I. FiNKELSTEIN ' 14. The Birth of Wisdom rrpoOintHE rain, lashed and driven by the wind, ll I VT dashed in bucketfuls, as it were, against the |[ 1 jj Reverend Osgood ' s house in Bay City. V!?OOiV The Reverend Osgood, small, serious and bespectacled, was deep in his books. Once he glanced at his watch, noting the time— eight-thirty — and then shoved his watch back into his vest pocket and continued his reading. If he was aware of the raging storm outside, he gave no sign. The Reverend had been living along the coast all his life, and he was used to such storms. He had been in Bay City four years and was well liked by all who knew him, the only objections to him being h is absentmindedness and his lack of interest in worldly affairs. This was lamentably evident. He delved deep after his knowledge of spiritual affairs and brushed those of this world aside as of no consequence whatever. He was deeply immersed in thought, when a knock sounded at the outer door. Come in, called the Reverend. The door slowly opened and a man, dripping with water, stepped into the room, closed the door quietly behind him, and stood embarrassed, holding his bat- tei ' ed hat with both hands. His clothes were sodden with water and much the worse for wear; his shoes, almost soleless, oozed water; his face was drawn and haggard. His whole appearance betokened poverty and destitution. Well? Said the Reverend, regarding him curiously. Sir, I — I, the man started, but speech seemed to fail him and he dropped his arms to his sides with a wretched, despondent gesture. My good man, what is the trouble, asked the Reverend anxiously, rising. Sir, I have come to you for advice and help. Pray be seated, be seated, my good man. The wretch looked doubtfully at a large leather rocker and then seated himself. ' ' Now. The Reverend ' s tone was kind and sympa- thetic. The man began in a low, despondent tone: Two years ago, sir, my wife and I were living in poverty. I was out of work and my wife at the point of death. I had to do something to get money, so I broke into a house on the East Side and succeeded in getting away with about two hundred dollars. The police were hot on my trail for a few weeks but they did not discover me. But the money, I may add, was of no avail, for three weeks later my wife died leaving me alone in the world. I have no relatives. Here his voice became husky, and after a moment ' s hesitation he continued. ' ' After that luck seemed to run against me and the thought of the stolen money preyed upon my mind. I secured work for about six months, but I was discharged for lack of attention to my duties, for my conscience smote me with such force that I could not give my at- tention to anything. I have not been able to get work, so I came to you for aid. ' ' During the recital of these events in this wretched man ' s life, the Reverend sat gazing earnestly at him over his spectacles, his kindly, generous face showing plainly his sympathetic attitude toward him. He now spoke: Where have you been living? In the City Lodging House on East Ave. The Reverend sighed. Here was a chance to help a poor unfortunate soul, whom Fate itself had decreed against. He silently took out a lamentably lean wallet and extracted therefrom a twenty dollar bill and handed it to the unfortunate, saying: May the Lord bless you and abide with you. Your crime still stands a crime in the eyes of the Law, but God will forgive you if you pray to Him and ask His mercy. The man had risen and now, with a sob and tears in his eyes, he took the money and grasping his kind benefactor around the waist, he knelt before him and sobbed aloud. The good Reverend placed his hand upon his head and bade him arise. The man did so. His arms, seemingly loath to leave the other ' s person, lin- gered about his waist as he arose. Then, with many thanks spoken in a voice shaken with emotion, he took his leave. For a long time after the man had gone the Rever- end sat before his study fire, meditating on the ways of the world and the misfortunes of men. Now and then he wiped a tear from the corner of his eye, for he was thinking also of the poor, unfortunate man he had just befriended. Then suddenly he thought of the time of night, and that it must be growing late, and he reached for his watch. His fingers reached his vest pocket and a blank, surprised and puzzled look crossed his face, leaving in its place a little cynical, worldly smile. Paul McConnell ' 15.

Betty storm- I J_) 11 ily sat down in her seat; then she glanced, 5)QXi ° ' ' better, glared fretfully at the students nearest her. She was, as she would have termed it, hopping mad and she did not care who knew it. And surely she was not without reasons in ar- riving at this condition of mind. Had she not been given three zeros in the last three classes which she had at- tended? Yes indeed, she had; whence the grouch— and Betty kept on glaring. Outside, the sun shone brightly and unceasingly on the street. There was no wind and the air felt close and almost sticky. It was undeniably hot, very hot, and the students in the studyroom showed little indica- tion of animation or of a desire for close application to work. As Betty ' s anger began to cool she began to fall also into the semi-lethargy that pervaded the room and gradually became unconscious of her surroundings. Betty sat at the big desk at the front of the room and glanced over the rapidly filling room with a feeling of dismay. This class and two more before she would be at liberty to go home. She sighed and turning, picked up a book and prepared to hear the recitation. As she looked from her book to the pupils she was dumfounded to see that Miss Bell, her History teacher, was occupying the fi-ont seat. But that was not all. Back of that worthy person sat Mr. Heyner, the algebra instructor. Upon closer inspection she observed that every person in the room was either a teacher or some other school official. However, it did not seem so very strange after all, and so she started the class. Miss Bell, can you tell me in what year the Magna Charta was signed and by whom? she asked in a very intellectual voice. Why, why, wh-y, began Miss Bell, you see, William the Conquorer was not satisfied with — That will do interrupted Betty as she put a big round zero on Miss Bell ' s card, I ' m afraid you forgot to study the right lesson. Mr. Heyner, said Betty, can you tell me the answer to the question? If you please, ma ' am, questioned Mr. Heyner, will you tell me what the question was? If you would look at me instead of out the window perhaps you would know what is going on in class chided Betty severely, making another zero. Miss Roth, she went on, Can you tell me? Well, you see. Miss Betty, replied Miss Roth, I took so much time getting out my Latin that I did not get that far. Good bluff, murmered Betty to herself, but she can ' t get away with it; I ' ve worked it too often myself. Another zero. Well, cried Betty in desperation, can anyone tell me? No answer greeted this appeal. Betty was dis- gusted and rising from her chair she burst upon the assembled pupils with this invective: I ' m heartily ashamed of every one of you. To think of you coming to school and frittering your time away when you ought to be getting out your lessons. I ' m going to report this disgraceful affair to the principal and perhaps he will have a remedy for it. You may consider this class dismissed and each one of you will receive a zero. The persons thus addressed were filing out of the room slowly when Betty dropped her handkerchief. In bending over to recover it she bumped her head on the edge of the desk and— Betty woke up. The teacher was standing beside her, tapping upon her head with a lead pencil. Betty glanced meekly around, and surely she was not without reasons for acting humbly. The signal rang about a minute ago, said a voice beside her, and I didn ' t want you to miss your next class, so I thot I ' d better wake you up. Betty ' s grouch had vanished into the region from which it had come and the frown had disappeared from between her eyes and she actually smiled. Betty walked meekly out of the studyroom. Betty walked meekly along the hall; for Betty had seen herself from the viewpoint of the people against whom her anger was bitterest and she found that they only acted with just cause. Dana Hughes ' 16. How He Won C? ? y HE rain drizzled down on a dejected little 11 I 11 Freshman as he stood in the doorway on a II 1 jj November night. The wind blowing (g j g) around the corner lifted his hat and started it rolling down the street. Of course, he started after it and vented his wrath as he ran. He suddenly collided with one of the many pedestrians of Bluefield ' s main street, who taunted Oh, you little green Freshie, you ' re practicing for that hundred-yard dash tomorrow, are you? Aw, shut up! was the answer he flung back. All right, I ' ll have to give in and obey my elders, I suppose, was the resigned expression of the pedestrian. Just you wait, you smarty, and I ' ll go through you and fifty men like you for dear Blue, if I ever get on the team. All right, dearest, and Harters, captain of the Athletic Club foot ball team, Bluefield ' s foremost op- ponent, walked on, thinking of the foolhardiness of youth. Roy, the B. H. S. Freshman, picked up his hat and turned toward his home. On his way he met Joyce Gladsby, daughter of the school superintendent, of whom he was very fond. During their conversation she remarked that anybody could do anything if they said they could, and that he should remember the motto Live or Die. He answered I will, and it thrilled him with a new determination. He arrived home and when told that supper was not ready sat down and studied the books that at noon he had told his mother he was sick and tired of. He ate supper and went to bed with a light heart, slept like a Freshman only can and arose on a crisp, frosty Thanks- giving morning. His determination I will still grasped him and he went out to football practice as second sub for right end. He played with such vigor and strength that the coach was compelled to tell him that he would put him in as first sub, as he outran any man on the team. When he got home and sat down to the sumptuous turkey dinner, he remembered the words of the coach, Now fellows, dont eat anymore than you absolutely have to, until the game is over. He ate very little, then excused himself, went upstairs and got his clothes and prepared to leave. His mother asked if he were sick and he told her of his duty while in training. He had just opened the door when the telephone rang and he answered it. Is this Roy talking? came the question. Yes, sir, he answered, as he recognized the coach ' s voice. Roy, Perkins sprained his ankle this morning and you will have a chance at his position this afternoon. Come over at once. All right, coach, and Roy could hardly find the hook for the re- ceiver. He danced up and down all around the rooms and shouted so loud he made everybody hold their hands to their ears. What under the shining canopy has gone wrong with the boy? said his father. Come over at once! Just think! Right end! What is wrong? exclaimed his mother. Everything ' s right. I ' m to play end in the game this afternoon, against the Athletic Club. Whoopee! He rushed out of the door, tore down the street and made for the field at top speed. He reached the field as the coach and several veterans, clad in foot ball suits, came up. Remember now, Roy, don ' t overdo yourself run- ning around, but save your pep for this afternoon, for you will need it then. This cut him rather deeply, but without changing countenance he lined up with the rest of the team and went through a short signal practice. After the signal practice he walked over to where Joyce Gladsby was standing and said I will with emphasis. She smiled at him sweetly and told him to look at the crowd that had assembled. Banners waved — the blue and white of the Bluefield High School and the red and black of the Athletic Club. The great flag pole was decorated with an immense blue and white banner and bunting ran from its apex to its base. Cheering sections were yelling all around the field. The band had just struck up a wild march and it ' s stirring music mingled with the raw voices of the pop-corn and peanut venders. The younger people were yelling as though they had gone mad, and old Alumni were becoming younger every minute. Before he knew it Roy was down on the field and playing but in the second scrimmage a big A. C. man knocked him down and he became so weak in the knees that he had to be led to the sidelines. Everyone shouted, Too much freshness for aFreshie! Why is aFreshie an Irishman? Get that green sweater on, and he was compelled by the students to don a horrible green sweater. At the end of the third quarter the coach came over to where Roy stood. Do you think you can go in and do something now? he asked. Yes sir, I can, Roy answered. What was the trouble at first? I don ' t know, but I suspect it was stage fright, he said and he ran out and took his place at end. The quarter-back stooped quickly behind the center and called signals 99-45-63-10. The ball was snapped quickly to the full-back who ran across the field for about thirty yards and then forward passed it across the line to Roy, who, having no one around to hinder him, deftly caught it and ran like a hare for the goal posts. The immense crowd went crazy as he fiew between the goal posts with the ball. The girls thought Oh, what a nice boy! and the fellows thought Gee, I wisht I wuz him. The crowd surged around him and he was lifted high on the shoulders of four members of the team and carried all around the field.

S. was in former years so well known and justly feared. As a chaser for a very successful season, the basket ball team took part in the Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity Basket Ball Tournament, taking first place in the Northern Division and thereby gaining the title of Champions of Northern Ohio. When it became known that we would play Marietta High School for the Championship of Ohio the athletic spirit and feeling rose to fever heat and everyone vowed that he or she would attend the championship game and root like sixty. On Saturday, March 14th, the day of the memorable game for the state championship, about two hundred and fifty students went to Delaware to root for the team. Our three special cars, chartered from the Southwestern Company, were decorated with banners and every loyal student who went along wore our fa- mous red and white colors in the most conspicuous spot possible, usually on his hat or coat sleeve. Everyone knew M. H. S. parodies for all the popular songs and the whole trip down to Delaware was one long series of songs and yells. One well known alumnus (of automo- bile fame) had a Klaxon horn and a collection was taken up and enough batteries were bought at Bucyrus to make ' er talk. As we passed through the burgs lying between Mansfield and Delaware, we startled the inhabitants from their soporific existence and made them take notice. Our approach could be detected long be- fore we came in sight and large crowds gazed at us in wonder in every town. At last we arrived in Delaware and dinner became the chief aim and diversion in life. We rushed the restaurants and most of us grabbed a sandwich when no one was looking. After dinner we went up to Edward ' s gymnasium, where the game was to be played. We took possession of one whole end of the basket ball floor and when Delaware High School played Aquinas of Columbus we rooted for Delaware. Then, after an awful wait, our team, Wally, Fat, Bill, Red and Pete, came on the floor. All the yelling that had been done before now paled into insignificance. To say that pandemonium reigned is to damn our demonstration with faint praise. Red, our famous cheer leader, not only directed us from an upright po- sition, but stood on his head on occasions in order to be able to direct us with his feet as well. His variations of the latest dances were received with immense ap- proval. Our rooting completely drowned out the efforts of the Marietta adherents, and when we saw our team, fighting for every point, go down in defeat, beaten by superior age, strength and experience, we rose up in all our might and out-yelled and out-rooted the Marietta aggregation, who were backing a winning team. A defeat received in such a spirit can not properly be called a defeat. Of course, we have our own private opinion of a high school that has twenty-year-old stu- dents in their Sophomore and Junior classes and allows them to play on a high school basket ball team. Immediately after the game Mr. Dixon, the famous director of athletics at Ohio Wesleyan University, pre- sented the cups to the captains of the two teams. Al- though Mansfield received only the second cup, it signi- fies as much as the first cup did several years ago, as Mansfield played and whipped more hard teams than teams of former years ever did. After the game the Mansfield Aggregation scat- tered over the city in search of various amusements and sundry refreshments. Eminent authorities of M. H. S. say that Delaware contains a greater percentage of Swell Janes per capita than any Ohio town known. Of course every one is entitled to his own opinion. In the evening the bunch went to the Delaware- Oberlin track meet, and everyone seems to have become inoculated with the fever, for since the return home great interest has been shown in our having a track team. Leaving Delaware at the early (?) hour of ten thirty, we started for home and mother. The loss of the game was taken in the best of spirits and showed that M, H. S. knows how to be a good loser. The crowd was not in the least depressed and the journey home was as hilarious as the trip to Delaware. Going home everyone was drinking— calm yourself Rosalind, it was only pop! All the windows were decorated with pop bottles hanging by red and white ribbons. The cars arrived home about two o ' clock Sunday morning and everyone went home and slept until Sunday noon. Oh yes! One of the sad features of the day was the fact that the theft of a valuable pork-chop was reported to the police by a prominent Senior. The thief worked very mysteriously, but on account of his appetite, an M. H. S. Senior is suspected of having committed the dastardly outrage. He is very easily described, as he is a strawberry blonde with a deceptive smile and large feet. Let us hope he was brought to justice.

We think ourselves quite up to snuff On sciences and all such stuff, At the sight of which the Seniors look dismayed And put off till future days. Our Latin teachers say we ' re perfect stars And could, if we had to, read Virgil by the yards. And so, upper-classmen, can ' t you see What we will come to in days to be?

His sudden taking off was in- deed a shock, not only to his family, but to his schoolmates and the entire community as well. He had entered the High School but a few months before and by his quiet, unassuming demeanor had made a distinct place for himself. His prospects were bright and he gave promise of being a joy to his parents and a credit to him- self and the school. To the bereaved family, we, his associates, offer our heartfelt sympathy in their hour of trial. RAYMOND CARRIGAN 1898 - 1914 It was with deepest sorrow and a feeling of irreparable loss that we learned of the death of our late friend and comrade, Raymond Carrigan. Although this was his first year in school, his sunny smile, his ready wit, and above all, his courteous, manly ways have endeared him to all. A trusted friend, a true comrade, his life though brief, has not been lived in vain; and the mem- ory of his true and honorable character will be an inspiration to all who knew him. To his family we extend our heartfelt sym- pathy and the consolation of a life so lived that his memory will remain dear to us always. -His Friends and Classmates —His Friends and Classmates Our Coach R. Roscoe Roy Sidell came to us in 1912 as a teacher of Science. A keen, wide-awake teacher in the class-room, a friend and adviser out of it, he won the liking and support of the school from the start. In 1913, Mr Sidell was selected as Athletic Coach and a better choice could not have been made, He has an enviable record in other schools as a coach and has upheld that record here in a most satisfactory manner. A fair season in foot ball, considering obstacles; champions of Northern Ohio in basket ball, and the brightest of prospects for an excellent record on Field Day, speak more than words can for his ability. Mr. Sidell coaches not only to win but to win fairly, thereby applying the real principles underlying the game of life. We appreciate his work here, both in the class-room and on the athletic field and, with sincere gratitude, extend to him our best wishes for Success. t-OOH(Q -IJ Foot Ball ONSIDERED from the point of games won, ours was rather a disastrous foot ball season. Laboring under the difficulties o f raw, inexperienced men and numerous injuries. Dame Fortune ' s sister was our lot. However, low aim, not failure, is a crime and we certainly aimed high enough. In giving to the players a higher conception of clean sport, a greater incentive to win either by fair means or not at all, and in winning for them and the respect and admiration of their opponents, our foot ball season was a decided success. things we may look back with pride to our team of 1913. The Wearers of the M Pecht, Capt. Schwier Hart Hale Tressel Dean Henry Hosier Garber Hurxthal Hagerman McKee Center Osbun Lindsey As We Know Them Percy Pecht, Capt. Percy Pecht was an able and efficient foot ball captain, besides being a speedy h alf-back. Howard Hart Harty Hart was the fastest man on the team. His spe- cialty was end runs and secondary defense. John Tressel Red A foot ball man was he. Always in the thickest of the fray. Noted for his ability on a broken field. Wilbur Henry Fat, Pete, Little One Our foot ball star. He was noted for his plunges and able defense. Karl Schwier Karly Schwier played quarter on the foot ball team and, in steady work and hard playing, could not be beaten. Robert Hale Red Hale played center and showed his ability to fill that position satisfactorily. Vaughn Dean Red Dean played half-back. He was always in the fight and could be depended upon in any crisis. Howard Hosler Fat, Ikey Hosier played end and played it with credit. Elmore Lindsey Corky Lindsey played end. He proved a valuable man and one upon whom we could always depend. Zent Garber Garby Garber played on the line and, although this was his first season; he proved himself an able man. Louis Hurxthal Darling Hurxthal played guard and with his weight was able to hold anything that came along, a good strong game. He played Perry Hagerman Pete Hagerman played half-back and did credit to him- self and the team, and tackling. He was noted for his end runs Earl McKee McKee played on the line and behind it too — an able and efficient man. Dean Leuthner Wally Leuthner played end and time after time he smashed interference that appeared impregnable. He de- serves great credit. Norman Center Norm Center played on the line and fully earned his M. He showed great ability. Hugh Osbun Bun Osbun played on the line and battled nobly. Schedule and Scores Sept. 27 ...M. H. S.

' 14 Basket Ball 07 ' HIS year ' s basket ball season has been one of success, victory and laurels. Success from II 1 S resolve, determination, integrity and clean playing. Victory, from point of games l -r ' 3v won, points scored and showing at Delaware. There we won the Championship of Northern Ohio, and carried off second honors in the State Championship game with Marietta, who were the Champions of Southern Ohio. We have defeated the strongest teams of Northern Ohio, have won every game on our home floor and, up to the Tournament, maintained a point a minute team. Laurels of enthusiasm, support, admiration and credit. High School spirit has been on the decline here for several years, but the showing of our team this year would have awakened Methuselah from the dead— and we awoke. We are alive again and intend to stay so. Never in the history of our school has a team had better backing than ours has had this year, and we sincerely thank all those who have taken part in arousing this spirit. O IlJH(Q J-1 Wearers of the M Dean Leuthner Wally Leuthner was elected captain of the basket ball team this year and has filled that position with the greatest of ability. He played left forward, was a good shot and the best floor man this high school has ever seen. Leuthner has served us for the last time and it is with the keenest regret that we see him go. Howard Hosler Fat Hosier played right forward on the team. He ex- cells in shooting baskets, especially in long shots and there has seldom been a better shot in our high school. This, with his passing and dodging has made him a valuable man. He will be with us next year and we can only wish him as successful a sea- son as he has had this one. William IWarquis Bill To Bill we doff our hats. Never in the history of this school have we had a better center and few that could even approach him. Tall, speedy, an accurate shot, a cool man in passing. Bill is there. Add, too, the fact that he is left handed and you have the ideal center. Since he is a Senior he has played his last high school game and we wish him the best of life. John Tressel Red Tressel played right guard on the team and certain- ly played it in every sense of the word. He not only put up an effective, defensive game but also a decisive, offensive one. It was seldom a game went by that ' Red did not contribute his three or four baskets. Few, indeed, were the men that could score effectively on him. He will be with us next year and will prove a valuable man. Wilbur Henry Pete Last but not least, either in quantity or quality, comes Henry. Truly he has proved a marvel. This was his fii ' st year at basket ball but he played like a veteran and has proved himself worthy of all the credit that can be given him. Pete was a tower of strength on the defense and broke up play after play. With his 190 lbs. he handled his opponents like so many babes. We expect him to represent us next J ear and may heaven protect his opponents. Mr. Rutt came to us this year as teacher of Mathe- matics. He was formerly coach and Athletic Manager at Belle- fontaine. In view of his former experience we chose him as our Faculty Manager of Athletics, and that we made no mistake in our choice is plainly shown by the fact that all debts have been paid, and there is still money in the treasury. Mr. Rutt has cer- tainly been a great help to us in securing a good schedule, and in arousing a new High School Spirit, which we hope will never die down. We extend to him our sincere thanks. E. J. RUTT Mr. Dean was elected stu- dent manager of our basket ball team and fulfilled his du- ties with care and diligence. The carefully planned schedule was largely due to his efforts, and that it was a success the season ' s record plainly shows. Vaughn was not only a good manager but an excellent play- er. He showed up fine the first of the year and promised to con- tinue with the game that made him such a valuable man last year. Unfortunately he became ill and was confined at home for about a month, and then was not allowed to play because of his physician ' s orders. We heartily thank him for his services and wish him well. VAUGHN DEAN The Second Team M. H. S. Rah-Rah, M. H. S. Rah-Rah, Boom-Chica-Boom, Boom-Chica-Boom, Boom-Chica-Ricka-Chica, Sis-Boom-Bah, Mansfield High School, Rah-Rah-Rah. Much of our success in basket ball is due to the second team. They not only gave the first team hard practice throughout the year ' thus making it possible to develop the style of play that made them Champions of Northern Ohio, but materially helped them in winning games, especially at the tournament. They played three games, winning two of them. We appreciate their help and are truly grateful. Schedule and Scores M. H. S. 32. Ashland 20 M. H. S. 29 Alumni 26 M. H. S. 60 NorwalklO M. H.

Ij A A Again for the thrill and excitement when If r IJ the last stretch of that race has been fi S C£ reached, or when the score is tied and but one more event remains. With interest sky high among the students, great enthusiasm manifest on all sides, good material and efficient coaching, our field day should be one of the best this high school has ever had. Plans are now being perfected with this end in view, and they include all the usual contests of such a meet: as 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 440 yard dash, half mile run, mile run, hurdling, pole vaulting, shot putting, hammer throwing, relay runs, broad and high jumps, discus throwing and prob- ably bicycle races. The plans are to have inter-class competition as a preliminary to the inter-scholastic contests. With any number of towns willing to compete and being easy of access, we should have little difficulty in promoting this noteworthy event. As is fitting and proper, Mansfield High takes the lead in reinstating a field day, on which representatives of the different schools may come together and compete. So it is with great satisfaction that we look forward to this joyful day, not only from an athletic standpoint, but from a higher view, for it is only through rivalry and competition that the highest measure of success is attained. Back in the years that are long gone past They had no track team — they did not dast; Their spirit was dead and their flesh was weak, And of a track team they dared not speak. But that time is past, and we have anew A fine fighting spirit, the whole school through. And we ' ll jump and run and twirl and throw. And the new Mansfield spirit sure will show. O fQE not only have a champion basket ball team this year, but we verily believe that we have yy Y7Vr the champion musicians of the state. Music has always been one of the important (( )l 3-ctivities of the school, and during the past two years it has been brought to even a jjj ( 5 higher standard than ever before. This is due without doubt to the untiring energy and and able direction of Prof. A. C. Frost. Mr. Frost is not only very popular with those interested in music, but with the student body as well. Because of his marked ability Mr. Frost has become very well known in musical circles in this city as well as in Berea and Cleveland. It is im- possible for us to give enough credit to Mr. Frost. We hereby, in behalf of the students, extend to Mr. Frost our sincere thanks and appreciation for his services. The orchestra this year more than measures up to the standard of previous years. It has very capably furnished the music for the rhetoricals and for the Junior-Senior Reception and will help materially in the production of our May Festival. Again we have a quartet of remarkable ability. In spite of the lateness of their appearance they immediately became very popular and have frequently been engaged for entertainments not con- nected with the High School. Miss Dorothy Wilkinson has very ably filled the position of high school pianist for the past year. She has devoted much of her time both in and out of school to music. Her work has been very much ap- preciated and we hope that she will be with us in this position next year.

Now it makes no difference whoever I am, Or whatever I happen to be; But I want to tell you a story Of myself, Nelly and She. It is a peculiar story Of a most peculiar swing But I always start to think of it When I go upstairs to sing. It is a simple ditty Into depths it does not roam The name of the song I ' ll tell you — It is Seeing Nelly Home. The story which I will tell you Starts on a summery night It ended on the same night, too, and — Oh, what a sorry plight! That night I went to a party And met my old friend Jack, The kind of a fellow who greets you With a slap upon the back. I met Sarah and Sylvia, the twins. And Bill with a laugh so gay, I also met my own sweet Nelly, Who smiled in a winsome way. The father and mother retired And left us alone to our frolic; The only one who objected was — The babv, and she had the colic.

Creamy fudge served by Nelly, Which was made, cut and laid. Not by the Nelly you think of. But by Nelly the colored maid. Then .Jack across the table. Winked at Nelly, my own, at my side; A moment later thej ' were whisjj ' ring Under the portico wide. Now, up to this time, the story Is under somewhat of a blear. But now I will explain all, And make all perfectly clear. The night this story had hap])ened, A birthday party was given In honor of Nelly, just seventeen. By her friend. Miss Ethel Scriven. And I was a guest of honor, too. Amid all that glad array. For to me was appointed the pleasure. Of seeing sweet Nelly away. . nd the boys and girls were all jealous Of Nelly, and me, too For all the boys wanted Nelly, And the girls, her white frock new. But the time soon eanie for parting, And a goodbye was given to all, And as I got ready with cane and hat, Nelly went up for her shawl. A moment later I saw her Yitll a heavy veil over her face. And she went out the door in a hurry As I followed in lively pace. She spoke not a word as she hurried But my heart was beating fast. The chance that I was longing for Had come to me at last. Oh why would not the words come As I had wished they would. But I could only stammer Try as best I could. At last I said ' T love you, (Lovers always say the same). But only a gutteral giggle. From out of Nelly came. But what was that across the street, That made my blood run cold! It seemed like my own dear Nelly With another chap fond and bold. Ye Gods! was I a victim Of a prank of Nelly or Jack. I pulled aside my companion ' s veil And beheld that her face was black ! ! ! — Jerome J. Freundlich. IF BUYING YOU CAN DO BETTER WITH HOWARD S.
