Business Manager PAGE EIGHT PAGE NINE Another year has slipped by and once more the Annual— ah—not the Annual but “The Red and White” makes its ap¬ pearance to witness the departure of the Seniors from that dear old school we all love so well. Many of us may never meet again, but ever will we be joined by a firm and lasting band, that of Friendship. Thus, if, as time rolls on the contents of this volume may recall to your minds a few pleasant recollections of your life at M. H. S. we, who have edited “The Red and White” will not feel our labors were all for naught. Oh, the joys and pleasures of a Staff consisting of a fine display of nervous chills, chattering teeth and furrowed brows with a hand wringing exhibition on the side? All these feats could have been witnessed free of charge by simply glancing at one of those fated beings of the Staff. Such a stupendous task none of us had ever undertaken before and few know better than we ourselves of the blunders within these pages, but we beg you, be blind to our errors and overlook our faults. Life itself is made up of mistakes. We have tried and done our best. How can we express our appreciation to those teachers and advertisers who have made this publication possible. Much we owe them, and very much we wish to thank them. Several new teachers were added to the faculty this year,. Miss Schmidt, Mr. Ward, Miss Shires and Mr. Lloyd. They have all proven their ability as teachers. We all pride ourselves as being true Americans. We are living in a history making age, will we prove that we are true Americans ? As we go forth into life let us keep before us some ideal after which we may pattern our lives: “Hitch your wagon to a star” is an old but very worthy quotation and should apply to the life of everyone. Let us, however, not think only of our own welfare. There are others in this world beside ourselves, many who often need a helping hand to guide them over some of the rough places in life. So often those who are ascending the ladder to the Hall of Fame care not for the ones upon whom they are trampling, in their eagerness to reach their own goal; but that is not the spirit of a true American. This old world is so full of wonderful things awaiting to be done. Let us get busy and do our share in helping make this age the very best in history. And by the way, isn’t it funny so many of the people who knock really couldn’t have done a single bit better them¬ selves !! Motto. PAGE TEN FACULTY POEM A cheer for the teachers of old M. H. S. Just how much we owe them we never can guess. Miss Patterson down at the end of the hall, Miss Ruess who is loved and honored by all. Miss Brightman, the one whom the Freshies all fear, And now comes our teacher of Physics, Jess Beer. Miss Cotton who gives those dread tests of one word, Miss Jordan of whom we know you’ve all heard, Miss Connett so frank, so calmly serene, Mr. Lloyd, not tall, but exceedingly lean. Miss Schmidt who tries to make us all mind, Miss Finfrock who shows you how X to find. Mr. Bauer who teaches one the correct way to write, And helps you out of many a plight. Miss Moore so calm, so gentle and dear, Miss Shires who makes all she teaches auite clear. Mr. Kaiser, a man of notable worth. Miss Padgett who squelches all uncalled for mirth, Miss Aberle, who at the Seniors does rave And declares in time they’ll drive her to the grave. Muriel who is liked by all in the school, Mrs. Wagner, one person you really can’t fool. Mr. Ward who works with all his might, Miss Bowers who thinks every Sophomore just right. Then Patton, so famous in this M. H. S., A coach worth having, now this we confess. Miss Ort so friendly, our teacher of “Dutch,” Miss Leonard who teaches us English and such. Carmine who is capable, honest and true, Miss Bedgar who loves kindly deeds to do. Too much about Davis we really can’t say, No matter what’s wrong he will surely find a way. And last, Mr. Helter whom we seldom see, Exceedingly busy, I’m sure you’ll agree. So, a cheer for the teachers of old M. H. S. Just how much we owe them we never can guess. PAGE ELEVEN FACULTY H. H.

Isn’t happier than when she has a date and certainly is in for all the fun there is going. Strange, but she is very fond of Chicago Junction—I wonder! “For she’s a jolly good fellow.” HOY CRAIG: Always friendly and in a good humor. Has made one of very best football players.

Dotes on dramatics and maybe some day—but then, who knows. “A maiden never bold.” DOYLE PARSONS: When Doyle entered M. H. S. as a Freshy he was a most energetic fellow, flirting with all the girls in sight. He is now a dignified Senior, but somehow or other his old habits stay by him. Aspires to be an ivory magnate. “ ’Tis impious in a good man to be sad.” ADA KLINE: Ada is just full of life and a good time. Has the loveliest black hair and eyes so that one can hardly blame “him.” Can they? “Happy am I, from care I am free.” PAGE SEVENTEEN I MIRIAM KROHN: If you want to keep on the good side of Mim don’t call her “Shorty.” She is thought to be very quiet by those who don’t her. “A daughter of the gods divinely tall.” GLENN BIERLY: Glenn is inclined to be a little conceited at times and to want his own way, but who doesn’t. Very earn¬ est and thorough and especially liked by the girls. “If I will, I will.” MARGARET WHITE: One may think that Peg can’t talk, but just go with her once. A good student and envied because of her curly hair—by the girls, of course. “She is a good friend to good friends.” ARTIS HICHEL: Artis never has much to say but when he does say anything it generally amounts to something. Very slow and easy-going, and quite bashfull though a Senior. “There is nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness.” ' ELVERDA GUINTHER: Athletics are the charm of Elverda’s life- Delights in tormenting the teachers and cutting up. Detests study but does a little now and then. A member of the Girls’ Glee Club. “Away with books, let’s have some fun.” PAGE EIGHTEEN ADALYN INGMAND: Addie has a cute little way about her that is most attractive. Since we last heard her heart was still in Ashland, but let us hope for the best. “A winning way, a pleasant smile.” FRED FREY: Here is one of the brightest boys in the High School. Very quiet and self-possessed.

Blushes quite easily, but generally has her lessons well. “Content thyself to be obscurely good.” ALBERT ERDENBERGER: We are all sure Albert will make a good business man.

Indeed no. She works in the office and is always pleasant and obliging. “Promptness is the soul of business.” PAGE NINET EEN GLADYS LASH: We could recognize her “shade” by that peculiar lit¬ tle stride of hers. She hopes to pass in Caesar. “Then she smoothes the eyelids down Over those two eyes of brown.” BERNICE ROPP: We are not so very well acquainted with Bernice,, since she only came here this year. It is said that she is a good student, working hard and conscien¬ tiously. “How sweet, how passing sweet is solitude.” ROY LINDSLEY: Roy carefully hides his thoughts under a veil of si¬ lence, especially in the class room.

Always accomplishes what he sets out to do and generally gets his own way in everything. Our Art Editor. “He knows what’s what and that’s as high As metaphysic wit can fly.” Ruth is real pretty and it’s hard to tell whether she knows it or not. Hasn’t any definite aim in life ex¬ cept having a good time. “I choose to chat where’er I come.” PAGE TWENTY DOROTHEA SCHALLER: A most accommodating, jolly girl. Can be serious if necessity demands and sure is able to make the typewriter sing. “Oh, the heart is a free and fetterless thing.” ARQUETTE RUST: One might think from Arquette’s name that he is a Frenchman, but we hardly believe it. Works in school only when the spirit moves him, which is quite seldom. “His only labor was to kill the time.” MARGUERITE MERKEL: Earl and Pete have passed to those stages which all Seniors hope to attain, but Peg is not lacking in masculine admirers. “What’s the use of worrying, fretting doesn’t pay.” PAUL DeWITT: Here is a fellow whose chief aim in life is to have a good time. Never caught studying—that’s not in his line. “He is wise who does but little.” THERESA LEASURE: Theresa’s non-deplume is Trudel Schmidt because of a part she so cleverly took in a little play. Unlike most of us she is good in the Study Room. “Shall I not take mine ease.” PAGE TWENTY-ONE ETHEL McMEEKEN: We’ve heard it whispered around that Ethel has been disappointed in love. “Yet Love will dream and Faith will trust.” HOWARD KENT: Howard is a minister’s son but you’d never know it.

Is studious in her classes but in for all the fun going. “Thou seemest to enjoy life.” PAGE TWENTY-TWO MARGERY YINGLING: Do you know Marg? Why, of course, we knew you did. Isn’t she pretty though! “Or light, or dark, or short, or tall, She sets a spring to snare them all.” ROBERT REMY: Bob is a steady, conscientious worker. He is re¬ served and quiet and always busy, that is one of the reasons why he was made Business Manager of The Red and White. He has taken a prominent part in athletic events, such as wrestling with Latin, defeat¬ ing Geometry, etc. “Do that which you can do well.” HENRIETTA SHAFER: RUTH PULVER: Ruth is a steady, earnest worker.

Quite a pianist and enjoys a good time as much as anybody. “She will succeed fur she believes all she says.” ROBERT UPSON: Bob is most too busy getting ready for Princeton to take the time to smile upon the fairer sex, but a glance slips by every now and then. Was the able captain of the football team and is well liked by everybody. Our Athletic Editor. “Nothing is impossible to diligence and skill.” MIRIAM MILLER: Here is a girl who is endowed with that quality longed for by many but only attained by few, “Com¬ mon Sense.” Miriam is always ready and willing to do her share of work and is a classmate worth having. “She was a modest one.” PAGE TWENTY-FOUR ETHEL FINNEY: Ethel is one of our office girls and is just chuck full of business. Is a jolly good friend and lovely to everybody. “She hath a kindly spirit and a friendly air.” STERLING AYERS: Nothing on earth could inveigle Ayersy to hurry along except, perhaps, a tennis racket and a ball. He was one of our mandolin club boys and there was “music in the air” when Buddy was around. “Since I became a man I have put away foolish things.” CORINNE DOUGLASS: According to one of the faculty “Timmy” would be “almost a model girl” if she did not take such de¬ light in causing a disturbance in the report room. We’re terribly concerned for fear she’ll flunk.

We know she is a fine commer¬ cial student and pianist. “What I won’t I won’t, and there’s an end on’t.’’ LAWRENCE BERGSTROM: “Lau” has had a couple of serious love affairs this year but, it is believed, he has fully recovered. A dandy basket-ball player, but hates study. “Thinking is but an idle waste of thought.” MALVINA McCLELLAN: It must be against Malvina’s creed to create any dis¬ order or trouble for she was never known to do so. Quite a worker and continually in a good humor. “The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit.” PAGE TWENTY-SIX •CHRISTINE VOLL: How can we say anything about Christine when she never says anything about anybody.

She is al¬ ways cheerful and gay, very independent and con¬ tinually talking or chewing gum. “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN DELTA LOGAN: We have all wondered why Delta is so quiet. May¬ be it’s because she is love. “Content to know and be unknown.” EDGAR WYCOFF: “Ed” is certainly a virtuoso when it comes to reeling out the “charms that soothe the savage breast” from his “Strad.” Never says much but makes what he does say count.

Has good-looking eyes and knows how to use them. Doesn’t study anymore than is necessary. “There’s a little bit of bad in every good little girl.” PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT MARIAN WARNER. Strange, isn’t it, but Johnny likes to talk and espe¬ cially to the boys, but her heart is unapproachable, we’re told, as the key is held by another. Very capable, with lots of patriotism for her class. “All things done well.” PAUL MAXWELL: “Weenie” believes in getting all the fun possible out of life. He is constantly “broke,” possibly hoarding the shekels for a little cottage in Wooster. “Never do today what you can do tomorrow.” VERA SMYTHE: Although Vera is quiet she is oh, so bright. Physics problems and Virgil are the delight of her life, but over and above all this she is a friend worth having. “Learning by study must be won.” CLEM BALLANTINE: When Clem falls in love he always falls hard, but has been known to recover after each case.

Bright, smiling and studious. “Live straight, think straight, act straight.” ralph McCullough : Busy? That’s Ralph’s middle name. He had the great (?) fortune of being elected Senior President this year. Never starts anything which he doesn’t carry out, therefore is one to be depended upon. “Progress is the law of life.” GRACE KOCHHEISER: Kochy is slow and deliberate but always gets there in the end. She has fine talent along literary lines and so was closen Literary Editor this year. “Good cheer is no hindrance to a good life.” MAURICE WELLS: The “Senator’s” highest ambition is to be a great statesmen.

He is very precise and decided in his manner and expects to be a great professor some day. “Better be conceited and know something Than be humble in ignorance.” “Flossy” isn’t real crazy about her nickname, but that doesn’t seem to make much difference. What¬ ever she makes up her mind to do she generally does. “Her heart is in her work.” PAGE THIRTY-TWO TILLIE BARTH : Tillie’s highest ambition is to be a great vocalist but doesn’t like to study her lessons any more than is just necessary. “As merry as the day is long.” RALPH HARBAUGH: Here is a boy so quiet you don’t know he is around.

A fine commercial student. “Good nature and good sense must ever join.” JOHN FEENY: John surely should write a book. He is always sup¬ plied with such new ideas and facts, so new, in fact, that the teachers do not appreciate them. “Good reasons must, of course, give place to better.” MARGARET THORNE: Pretty, popular, always talking and forever looking out for a good time, that’s Peg. Hates study and gets along very well without any. “She would talk, ye gods, how she would talk.” CLIFFORD KNARR: Clifford isn’t very big but oh, he has the prettiest, rosy cheeks.

Works while she works and has fun when it’s time for fun. “Tho’ unassuming she was intelligent.” PAGE THIRTY-FIVE DOROTHY STANINGER: Dorothy aspires to be a trained nurse. She will probably join the Red Cross and we will read of her engagement to some poor maimed soldier some day. “Small people may fill a large place in the world.” VIRGIL DENT: One of our finest commercial students and a genius in penmanship. A lad fresh from the acres in his Freshman year and still timid and bashful. “I profess not only talking this: Let each man do his best.” RAVELLA STRAUB: We promised Strauby that we wouldn’t mention Bergy in this write-up and we always keep our prom¬ ises.

He imagines he’s a heart-smasher: and when it comes to impressing the freshies with his dignity—Ahem!!! “See, the conauering hero comes! Sound the trumpet, beat the drums!

If not you missed something. “It’s the little things in the world that count.” PAGE THIRTY-SEVEN HELEN SHIVELY: Helen is very quiet and has the loveliest blond hair and blue eyes.

Yes her hair is red and according to “Dickey” herself she has a temper to go with it, but this has never been made manifest—on the contrary, her face is generally wearing a smile (except in Virgil class). Nuf sed. “Be gone, dull Care, thou and I ne’er shall agree.” FANNIE STEWART: Fannie is one of our newcomers this year and is liked by all. She is a good German scholar.” “Ein lachelnde Antletz.” PAGE THIRTY-EIGHT FRANCES SULLIVAN: Here is a jolly young maiden who believes in enjoy¬ ing life. She has a pleasant smile for everybody and, oh, isn’t she pretty! “Always gayest of the gay.” CLARA FERNYAK: Clara is a jolly, good.natured girl and conseqently seems to fit in any place. She has a goodly store of common sense and had the ill luck of being elected Vice President of the Senior Class. Popular with everybody. “Nor hope to find a friend Who has not found a friend in thee.” HENRY MOORE: Here we have the human personification of a match. Many have wondered just how Slats has glided through these four years, but the feat is accom¬ plished. Never happy unless teasing some of the girls. “My school work keeps me so busy I seldom have time to study.” GENEVA CRAIG: Geneva aspires to teach school.

Pie is a flashy dresser and is popular with some of the ladies. “Looks freshest in the fashion of day.” VERONA TUCKER: Verona has a shy little way about her that is very taking. Is quite a singer and thus a member of the Girls’ Glee Club. “Patience and gentleness are power.” RUSSEL BLAIR: Russel hasn’t been with us long enough to be so very well known. He is very deliberate about everything but is one to be depended upon. “Cultured and capable of sober thought.” MERCIEL CAMPBELL: Merciel is a conscientious worker and as a result will leave with a good record. Quite an accom¬ plished pianist. Hates a joke on herself, but, then, who doesn’t. “And she is fair and fairer than that word.” PAGE FORTY SENIOR CLASS HISTORY. September of the year 1913 saw about two hundred star¬ ry-eyed, open-mouthed little Freshies enter this awe-inspiring building. Mr. Davis acted as the kind shepherd to this wan¬ dering flock and thus in time our schedules were fixed, our report rooms assigned and gradually, as time wore on, our eyes began to take their natural size, and the gap between our upper and lower lip grew less and with more boldness we withstood the taunts of those dominating Sophs. With less timidity we opened doors in the midst of recitations, only to quickly close them as we discovered our mistake and haught¬ ily to stalk off to try our fate at some other door, with peals of laughter mocking us. With joyfully important steps we walked back to the old school next year. Several of our former number were absent. They, unfortunately, will never know the pleasures of that year. Foot ball, basket-ball, track-meet all had their delights. With what joy we now in our hour taunted and teased those poor Freshies. With what dignity we strutted before the visiting Eighth grades. With what authority we bossed the whole school. Our cup was full. The Junior year brought still more fun and work (?) for us all. With great exaltation we chose our class officers. Robert Atton was elected President and very ably filled his position. A Literary Club was in time organized, which would never have proven the success it did had it not been for the kind leadership of Miss Connet. Then began our social whirl. Party followed party and, at last, the big event arrived—The Junior-Senior Reception. All the committees worked faith¬ fully and the play, “The Arrival of Kitty,” was a decided suc¬ cess. Athletics figured a large part in our lives now and some of the boys of our class were making names for them¬ selves. June came all too soon and it was with regret that we saw our Junior year slip away. We are Seniors now. Just thing of it. We are the exam¬ ple set before all the other classes. We gave evidence of our intellectuality by electing Ralph McCullough our President. The Annual Staff was next elected and immediately undertook the task set before them. The Class pins were selected, dis¬ cussed fore and aft, but at last, after several class meetings, adopted. Music had always figured a large part in the lives of Seniors, but upon the departure of our music teacher, Mr. Frost, at the end of our Junior year, there seemed to be no one to carry on the work. But, to our great relief, Miss Leonard and Mr. Carmine came to the rescue, and thus our Music was con¬ ducted just as formerly. All too soon June will be upon us, and we must leave our dear old school, proud of the touch of that precious paper in our hand, our diploma . We have worked hard and won. Ever will we feel ourselves a part of the school we have all learned to love so well, and, as we turn the leaves of Father Time’s book and review the history of the Class of T7, we have no fear for the future.

PAGE FORTY-FOUR SENIOR POEM. Slowly, yet surely he ascends the upward way, Led by the Light of Knowledge he higher climbs each day; His footsteps never falter as he onward goes and on ’Til his efforts are rewarded, he looks out on Avalon. Upon life’s beaten pathways he sees the human throng Of those in God’s own image who slowly move along; The men whose course hath led them into the paths of right And those unhappy creatures still groping in the night. He sees some stand successful in the great World’s Hall of Fame, He sees the hopeless failure go downward to his shame, He knows that now the time is come to enter life’s hard game. In the distance stand two cities at the ending of the ways, One upon the golden mountain shining in the sun’s bright rays; O’er the turrets float the banners, lighted by the sun’s caress, On each one in glistening letters stand the words “I Am Success.” Lower, in the dismal valley, as in mourning stands a town Ever gray in constant twilight, where the sun’s rays ne’er look down. On its wall, in great black legend, “Failure” casts its darkened frown. Now the paths of life perceiving, take your way to higher ground, Battle ever to the uplands where the sun’s fair beams look down. May your upward climb be lightened! “Education” guides you nigh; Better guide man cannot want, for she’s from good old Mans¬ field High. —E. Plazer, ’17.

In nineteen hundred and sixteen We started into this school, And decided to do our very best To obey the Golden Rule. How well we have succeeded, Our teachers alone can tell. At times we have made failures When we wanted to do so well. But to err is only human, And so, mistakes we’ve made. So we will strive the harder While going up the grade. And when the school year’s ended, If we only do our part, We can look back to what we have accomplished With a very grateful heart. We’ll thank kind friends and teachers For the patience they have shown, And, in a small way, may repay The light they have thrown About the pathway as we climbed The first year through High School, When the “Freshies” were made light of As has always been the rule. And we hope as the years pass over The heads of those who now Have started in the race of life There’ll be written on their brow— Honor, Truth and Loyalty— Three things to hold most dear And cling to, more closely With every passing year. —Harry S.

PAGE SIXTY SOME PAL. “Hey, for cat’s sake, Ruth!” Rufus Allan, dubbed “Red,” on account of his fiery hair, stopped short and looked dis¬ gustedly at his sister, sitting on the floor, tenderly nursing a mangy black kitten. “You adopt every blamed cat that comes along. Can’t you remember that this isn’t a hospital?” “Yes,” flashed Ruth, her nose tilted scornfully skyward, “now I suppose you’ll tell me to be more like Alice Stewart Well, be thankful. I’m not such an empty-headed butterfly.” Look here,” began Red hotly, but was interrupted by a calm voice proceeding from the next room: “Stop quarreling, twins, and remember, Rufus”—here a tin can was rattled suggestively—“you owe me a cent for every slang word in that little speech you just completed. You can’t murder your English like that around here. Well,” reflectively, “the heart of at least one little heathen will be gladened upon receiving the benefit derived from the contents of the tin cup.” Red clutched his fiery locks and groaned dismally. “Be¬ lieve me,” he thought, “if I got my hands on that little heathen, his heart wouldn’t be gladened. He’d get a black eye.” Aloud he said, “Just my luck! I say, mother, can’t you appreciate the delicate humor of that expression, even if it was slang? Cat’s sake, when the subject under discussion was a cat. I call that striking.” “That was rather an artistic touch,” exclaimed Mrs. Al¬ lan, “but I prefer plain, vigorous Saxon.” Red jingled the coins in his pocket and taking out the re¬ quired number, he mournfully bade them good-by as he dropped them into the cup. “Three cents left. How is a fellow going to have any fun at a picnic with three cents,” he complained. “What picnic?” asked Ruth interestedly, their differences forgotten in a trice. “Oh, didn’t I tell you? The crowd is going to Rodgers Lake tomorrow. Bob Arnold and I have to see about the hay- wagon. There he is now,” as a shrill whistle was heard. “So long.” The door slammed and Red was gone. Ruth put the cat down carefully and began to plan for the picnic. “What fun it will be,” she said to her mother. “If only Alice wouldn’t go. She’s so silly, and yet Red likes her. We had so much fun together before she came, but now he leaves me out of everything.” “Never mind, little girl,” soothed her mother; “he’ll be all right again after a while.” The picnic day dawned bright and clear. It was an ideal June morning. All the boys and girls had gathered at the Allan home, as they had agreed to do, where the hay-wagon was waiting. Did I say all? Ah, no. Alice Stewart had not come yet, and Red kept sending anxious glances up the shady street. “Let me see,” drawled Rose Graham teasingly. “It seems to me Alice told me she wasn’t coming.” “What did you say?” demanded Red. There was a shout of laughter and Red flushed to the roots of his hair. “Here she comes!” called one of the girls. Alice was, indeed, coming at last, a dainty figure in a white, ruffly dress and high-heeled slippers, but her clothes were scarcely suitable for picnic among the hills. “She wants to be different from the rest of us,” thought Ruth resentfully, glancing at the sensible picnic garb of the others. Laughing and talking, the party started, reaching the lake in about an hour. It was a beautiful spot. The lake was sit¬ uated in a little valley and surrounded on all sides by hills, which were literally covered by wild flowers. Some of the crowd made up a party and set out on an exploring expedi¬ tion. The rest fished. That is all, except Red and Alice— “she couldn’t tramp with those slippers,” she said, “and hated fishing.” So they sat and looked on. PAGE SIXTY-ONE “How can Ruth bear to do anything so messy,” said Alice, with a dainty shiver, as Ruth pulled out a big fish. “She’s so queer. Not a bit like you.” “Ruth is all right,” said Red rather stiffly. He was un¬ comfortably conscious that he ought to say more in his sister’s defense, yet his pride was flattered at Alice’s implied approval of him. Just then the explorers returned, ravenously hungry, so they had dinner. After dinner the crowd set out again, and Red, who was perishing to fish, got almost desperate. Ruth cruelly let them alone, saying to herself, “It just serves them right.” But, fi¬ nally, she relented and walking up to Alice said: “There are some beautiful flowers on the next hill. Let’s gather some.” Alice languidly rose and Red, glad for action of any kind, no matter how tame, followed. They wandered farther and farther, not noticing where they were going until Ruth exclaimed, “Look how low the sun is; we must hurry back or the crowd will forget and go off without us!” They started back and climbed the next hill, which they supposed was the one from which they had started. They were dismayed to find it was not, so they tried the next one with the same result. It was getting dark now and the hills, in the purple twilight, all looked alike. The trio stumbled on, falling over stones and briars. Alice was complaining quer¬ ulously how tired she was. Ruth pushed ahead pluckily and tried to buoy Alice’s drooping spirits. “ Let me see, ” she said suddenly, “weren’t we facing the sun when we left the lake ? Then we’ve been going in the opposite direction from our hill. About face and try the hill over there!” “Good for you, Sis,” said Red heartily. “Sis” flushed with pleasure at his tone. Alice was sitting on a stone resting. “I wish I’d never come,” she wailed. “My dress and slippers are ruined and my ankle hurts dreadfully. Oh, dear, I wish I were home.” They coaxed and soothed her and then started in the di¬ rection Ruth had suggested. They reached the top of the hill and, oh, raptures! there was a signal fire burning on the next hill. “There they are!” shouted Red joyfully, and gave a clear whistle, which was answered from the other hill. It did not take them long to get there and they were soon in the midst of their friends, who had searched frantically for them. “What’s the matter, Alice?” asked Bob Arnold, wickedly, as Alice hobbled into the light of the fire, her dress almost torn to tatters and the heel of one slipper gone. “Nothing!” she snapped. “Let’s go home.” They were all willing to do so after the strenuous day and were soon off. Red was very quiet and thoughtful all the way home. They found Mrs. Allan waiting for them. “What in the word happend ?” she asked anxiously. “I was afraid someone had been hurt.” Red told her all about their experience, how they had lost their way and how plucky Ruth had been. Ruth’s face wore a contented expression and her brown eyes filled with happy tears, when Red, delving into his pocket, extracted the last three pennies and as he dropped them one by one into the tin cup said, convincingly: “Believe me, Ruth is some pal. ” — Clara Fernyak. T7 PAGE SIXTY-TWO CITY-STRUCK MANDY. Wa’al here’s my story, and I reckon you’ll enjoy it: Last winter, somewhere around Christmas, I should say, my good old aunt, Lord rest her soul, passed from this world of sin and sorrer into the world beyond. O’ course she couldn’t take her worldly belongin’s along, so she just left me, who was her only relation remainin’, her money. Summin’ it up, it stood about a thousand—“enough,” as Hiram, who is my partner for bet¬ ter and worse, expressed it, “to make yer vest-pocket feel comf’table.” Wa’al, to be gettin’ on with my story, I had never ben to the city sence before me and Hiram wuz married. We had sworn before the most High that we would stick together till death us did divide. But I don’t remember hearin’ the parson say for us to stick to farm, too, and that we had. I wuz gettin’ kinder tired of feedin’ chickens and hogs, and milkin’ the cows, to say nothin’ of the cookin’, washin,’ bakin’ and churnin’. So, that when I gets that money in my hand, you bet your top bunnit, I took my chance. O’ course, I felt awfuly sorry that poor aunty Lord rest her soul, was dead, so I sheded some tears, and that evenin’ I told Hiram. O’ course he didn’t expect it, men never expect nothin’, but some¬ times they expect too much from us foor wimmen folks. “Wa’al now, Mandy,” says he, “I kinder figgered on build- in’ a sleepin’ porch on this here house, make the kitchen big¬ ger, and buy a few new steers, an’ then, if there wuz any money ov er, mebbe you could git a new bunnit or two ?” “Yes,” says I “mebbe I could, and mebbe I will, and mebbe I’ll git a new dress, too. And I’ll tell you this much, Hiram Hoskins, there’ll be no new-fangled fol-de-rols bought for this house, for I’m going to take that money and go to Nu York.” Wa’al, he slammed on his boots and went to the Jacksons. He alius goes to the Jacksons when he’s real hot. We buried poor auntie, Lord rest her soul, but I reckon she’s better off where she is. I can almost see her now sittin’ on the right hand of God, holdin’ on to His thumb and singin’ “When the Trumpets Blow I’ll be There.” Auntie never wuz much of a singer. After the funeral I went to Andy Stope’s to buy some clothes for to go to Nu York with. I tried on all the bunnits in his store till I found one I liked. It was brown and had two red roses standin’ on stems about two inches from the crown. I wanted to put the roses down, but Andy says “No, because all roses stood up in Nu York,” and I reckon Andy knows, ’cause he’s been there once. It cost $1.50, but I wouldn’t pay that, so Andy gave it to me for $1.49. I wuz so tickled at the bargain that I bought my suit and a purple silk alpaca gown for evenin’s there. TheStopes’ alluz was obligin’. My suit wuz a real purty brown to match my bunnit. Hiram said it looked muddy. But he wuz just jealous. He didn’ like my bunnit either, and when I told him what Andy Stopes said, he sid that if all Nu Yorkers wore them kind of bunnits they must all look like dried potatoes on ’em. O’ course I wasn’t tickled to death at that, but Hiram never wuz much at makin’ purty speeches, not even when he wuz a-courtin’ me. And then, too, he’s only a man. He wuz pretty mad, anyhow, cause I wuz goin’, but got alright agin when he druv me to the station. I knowed he would’nt feed himself right while I was gone, but it woudn’t hurt him to get a mite skinnier. There’ll be more room in the buggy if he does. Wa’al, to get to the point, I left Centerville and Hiram in it, and went to Nu York. I heerd they did’nt have no fresh eggs there, so I took a basket with me to give to the neighbors when I git there. But, landy sakes! Them eggs never lived PAGE SIXTY-THREE to see Nu York. The skirt of that suit wuz kinder long, and goin’ up the train steps I stepped on the front of it. What, with a suit case in one hand, my lunch and basket of eggs in the other, I couldh’t help myself, so I jest let the basket drop. I wuz kinder late and the train started afore Igot mybearin’s, so the last I saw of them eggs, they wuz sittin’ in the middle of the railroad tracks and lookin’ a sight more comf’table than I wuz. I took a seat in a car which I thought looked nice and pulled down a winder for fraid of a draft. There wuz nothin’ but men in the car, but I alius feel comf’table with men—more’n I do with wimmin. But no sooner set my belongin’s around me and begun to enjoy the scenery than a fat, wheezy, little man with a nose like a ripe tomato, tuk it onto hisself t o tell me where I wuz. “Lady,” says he,“do you know that you are in the smoker?” Now I didn’t know that trains had special cars to smoke their meats in, and besides it didn’t look like a smoker, and I told him so. Now our smoker to Hum had sassages, side- meats and other meats hangin’ around. But, o’course, it isn’t butcherin’ time now. He’d been listenin’ to me with his mouth open and when I wuz through he took a breath like the puff of a locomotive and begun to bough. My sakes, that man did cough ! I got up and patted him on the back, but it seemed to make it worse; so I told him he’d better get a drink and gave him Grandma Peabod’s herb receipt for hooping cough. It takes a woman to help a fellow human bein’ in distress. All them fool men were laffin’ and I felt like boxin’ their stupid ears, But I didn’t have to stay in that sas- iety long, for the conductor cum in and told me that car was men only, bein’ the men’s smoker, and I’d better move on. I told him to show me the wimmen’s smoker; I’d as lief go there as anywhere else. But they didn’t seem to have none, for the cars he tuk me in had men and women mixed. The only empty seat wuz next to a PAGE minister with side-whiskers and a bald head who wuz sleepin’ peaceable, his paper still held in his hand and his specs pushed up on his head. I sot down beside him and settle my belong¬ in’s about me. Then I took out a copy of the “Comfort” and tried to be intrested in a new patent told about, that would kill potato bugs by the hundreds. But land, who would take any interest in anything, with a minister sittin’ aside of ’em and sawin’ wood as if his life depended on’t. So I folded up the “Comfort” and waited till one special loud snore waked him up. He was rather s’prised to see me a side of him and I tried to look daggers at him, but I didn’t know how, so I just opened the “Comfort” to a page where wives told how they’d cured their husbands of snoring. I gived it to him and told him to tell his wife to read it. “Oh—eh—what?” And he begun to look for his specs. “Your specs are on your head and tell your wife to read this,” says I. “Oh—eh—what?” says he. “YOUR SPECS ARE ON YOUR HEAD AND TELL YOUR WIFE TO READ THIS,” I yelled for he was deaf as a hitcin’ post. “MADAM, I AM SINGLE,” he yelled back at me, and pulled his specs down on his nose. “I CAN HEAR YOU. I’M NOT DEAF.” shouts I. “WHO SAID YOU WERE?” he hollered as hard as be¬ fore. Everybody in the car was laughin’, so I turned my back on him and looked out of the winder. It was gettin’ dark and I wuz hungry, so I tuk out a few sangwiches and started eatin’ one. I looked over at the minister. He wuz readin’ the potato bug patent and looked so thin I pitied him, so I gave him a sangwich. Arter that we got along alright, but we didn’t risk talking no more. He fell asleep again, this time with his specs on his nose. I got sleepy when I looked at him, so I called the conductor and told him I wanted -FOUR to go to bed. He told me he’d get my berth, whatever that is, ready. “I don’t want no berth,” says I; “what I want is a good comf’table bed. A feather bed ’ll do.” “He wuz a nice, spry conductor, for he left the car the minute I had the words out o’ my mouth. While he wuz gone I unlaced my shoes and tuk off my julery. I didn’t get no bed arter all. Nothin’ but a shelf with a curtain round it, but it wuz pretty comf’table for a shelf, and when I got settled down I peeked out just in time to see the minister go into the shelf below mine. I wuz tired, so I fell asleep in no time, but somewhere’n around midnight I waked up and remembered that I had for¬ got to say my prayers. Now there’s no tellin’ what might not happen on a train, and me not havin’ said my prayers, and would never see poor auntie again, Lord rest her soul! So I jest got up on my knees and said my prayers. I wuz jest goin’ to say “Amen” when that train gave me a lurch and I pitched back into my bunk. It did make consid’able noise, and the minister, who had be’n diligently sawin’ wood, waked up and begun yellin’ “Burlars!” Everybody but me wuz out in a minnit. But when they found it wuz a false alarm they begun cussin’ the minister and I thanked my lucky stars he couldn’t hear them, or he’d a-ben dreadfully shocked. We all slept peacable arter that, and I didn’t wake up un¬ til the conductor called “Fifteen minnits to Nu York!” I got up and dressed in three winks of a flea’s left eyelash and by the time the train stopped I wuz ready, to my false teeth. PAGE Wa’al I’m on my way hum, and when I once get there I’ll never leave it agin. My sakes, but Nu York did get on my nerves! I couldn’t sleep o’nights and one night I akshuly didn’t go to bed till seven o’clock. I waz disapinted tho, Land! I did so want to go to the Waldorf Castoria hotel so I could brag about it to Andy Stopes. But it wuz too full and one o’ them sassy cabmen who called me handsome, right to my face, tuk me to another one. My, but it wuz grand! But the clothes the wimmen wore to dinner wuz shameful. And here the stays of my collar was a-cuttin’ my chin all the while. My sakes! Wouldn’t Preacher Hogkins a-ben shocked if he’d a-ben there? But the men wuz dressed real purty—a white shirt, vest, tie in the front, and two shiny black tails in the back. And their hats! Laws, but they wuz purty—tall and shiny like my stove to hum, after I put Bulldog Polish on’t. I bought Hiram a suit and hat like ’em to wear Sunday-go-to- meetin’. Won’t Deacon Weatherspoon be jealous? But I couldn’t stay long; I didn’t have no more money. My, but things is dear in Nu York! I wish I’d let Hiram buy them new steers. But, laws! I’ll never tell him that. WA ' AL, here we are! Eliah Jackson painted that “Cen¬ terville” on the station house, There’s Widow Jenkins. Land! Don ' t she wish she wuz in my shoes.

Dick Lowery was the son of John Lowery, the wealthiest man in Carmont. His mother died when he was only five years old. He was a boy who was well liked and had been elected Captain of the foot-ball team of Vanderbilt College, which he had attended for the last three years. He might have been elected Captain of the basket-ball team, only the man whom he would have had to run against was Jack Bay, one of his friends, so he refused to run and gave Jack the chance of being elected unanimously. Two weeks before Dick was to return to college his father died,and his father’s lawyer,whom Dick had always considered an honest man, informed him that his father had failed in business. There was only enough left to pay his tuition to college for a year. Dick decided he had better not go to col¬ lege, but the lawyer said that he should, as one of his father’s greatest wish es was that he should finish his course in college. So Dick returned to college. After he deducted the amount of his tuition he found he had only fifty dollars left to spend. As a general rule the fellows that attended this col¬ lege were, by their fathers, well supplied with money. So the first day the students would go to the city and buy new fur¬ niture, carpets, pillows and anything else that was considered necessary. The furniture of the other years was all right, but as they had plenty of money to spend, they spent it. When they went to a theater they always took the best seats and had some ex¬ pensive eats afterwards. Now Dick only had a little money for spending, so he had decided to economize this year and had brought some of the very oldest furniture from home. Dick’s first step toward this was to walk out to the college. On the way out he met some of his friends who were riding. They laughed and joked about his walking, but thought that he was doing it for training or some bet that he had made. They did not know of the death of his father. He had just put his room in good order when a bunch of foot ball men came in to talk about foot-ball. Noticing the plainness of his room they asked him about it. Dick then told them about his circumstances and his plan to economize. Then Jack Ray, who was basket-ball captain this year,, and who also played quarterback on the foot-ball squad the year before, asked him if he intended to head the eleven this year. “Certainly! Why not?” asked Dick. “Just because I don’t think the boys who go to this col¬ lege care to be captained by a pauper and I think the best thing for you to do is resign,” answered Jack. After the boys left Dick was so downhearted that he even left the supper bell ring without noticing it. To think that he had been called a pauper, and that the other boys did not care to associate with him anymore, just because his father had lost his money. He had looked forward to the time when he could be a captain from the Freshman year, and now that he had a chance he was to be cheated out of it. However, Dick decided the best thing for him to do was to resign, so he called a meeting of the team and handed in his resignation. To add to his embarrassment no one protested against his resigning. Edward Bromwell was elected Captain. He had always liked Dick, and at first did not want the place, until he saw that the class did not want Dick, then he consented to act as captain during the foot-ball season. Many a time he would sneak into Dick’s room to receive some advice or suggestions about his team. Dick could al¬ ways tell Bromwell anything he asked about, because he was well posted on foot-ball, and he also liked Bromwell and would do anything for the honor of the college which he loved so much. After five of the eight games scheduled had been played, four of which were victories, there was a problem for PAGE SIXTY-SIX Ed to worry over because in just two weeks they were to play Trenton College and week after that Wayside College. The Wayside game was expected to be the hardest, but, if they could beat Trenton, who had a very fine team, they were cer¬ tain they could claim a victory over the Wayside team. A week before the Trenton game Ed secured a new trick from Dick to use in the game. Ed showed this to the coach, who said it would be a fine one to use in a tight place, but rather risky, but he had the team practice it. The coach want¬ ed to know if this trick was Ed ' s idea, and when said “no” he then wanted to know whose it was, and Ed promised if it worked against Trenton he would tell. Finally the Saturday of the Trenton game dawned. The grand-stand was crowded with students from both colleges. Two bands from both colleges and the cheer leaders were kept busy. If the number of rooters from Vanderbilt were esti¬ mated by the Black and Red pennants the whole school must have been there; even Dick attended, although he had to do without supper for a week in order to get money to attend the game. The two teams had played for some time, but there was no score for either side until the middle of the last quarter, when the magic signal was given—the one which called for Dick’s play. Vanderbilt was on the enemies forty-yard line and the players on both sides were tired out, but when this signal came it seemed to put new life into Vanderbilt’s team. Bromwell received the ball and started on the run with all the speed his tired legs could carry him. After he had crossed the forty-yard line he noticed there was only one man between him and the goal. He succeeded in dodging this man, but had not calculated on a man from the rear catching up with him. He was so exhausted that he could not dodge or run faster and, therefore, the man from the rear tackled him, but he was over the goal line, giving his side six points to their credit. The goal was kicked, adding one more point to their score. After a few more minutes of play the game ended seven to nothing. PAGE The scholars rushed to the field, hoisted Bromwell on their shoulders, while the band headed the procession, play¬ ing “There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight-” After the excitement was over the coach hunted up Brom¬ well and, leaning a friendly hand on his shoulder, said: “Re¬ member, Ed, you promised if the trick worked you would tell whose idea it was!” “ Yes, I will, and maybe some of the fellows will be ashamed of what they did. Dick handed me that play.” The team immediately took action and voted to have Dick recalled as Captain and to lead the team in the Wayside game. That night the campus was well lighted up from an immense bonfire built by the students in honor of the victory they had won, and also for the captain who was to lead the team next week. Dick and his team won the Wayside game by a score of eighteen to nothing. Because Dick had been Captain of the Vanderbilt Eleven all the time, Jack Bay resigned as basket-ball captain, and Dick became Captain of one of Vanderbilt’s most famous basket-ball teams. The next morning after he had been elected he received a letter bearing the letterhead of his father’s lawyer. Ripping it open he found the following: “Dear Dick: I was very sorry to announce to you after the death of your father that he had failed. On his death-bed he instructed me to do so and see if you could really love the value of money, and that it was not money that made the man, but the man that made the money, although money sometimes makes friends. These kind of friends are not worth knowing, for when your money is all spent on them they for¬ get and seek someone else. As I have been informed I believe you have found out for yourself, therefore, I take great pleas¬ ure in announcing to you that you are not penniless, as you believed, but heir to your father’s fortune, five million dollars. Sincerely, David Fairbank.” -EffloEggert, ’19. -SEVEN A DOUBLE VICTORY. The day was just about over, when, thru the blinding snow, Ted Merril ran down the steps of the Recitation Hall and started for the postoffice. The snow which had started in the morning was whirling and blowing, stinging his cheeks and making walking diffiult, because many drifts hid the path from the college. “Oh, Greek, ta-ha!” hummed Ted to himself. “Daddy Hil¬ ler did enjoy giving me five demerits. But that was a nasty trick. Oh, my—!” Ted’s jolly laugh rang out as he thought of the joke played on Professor Hiller, the Greek teacher of Hampton Hall. The night before Ted, his roommate Robert Travill, Andy Cairns, with several others had gone skating. Knowing a cry would be raised by the boys left when their absence was dis¬ covered, thus bringing the Professor (who was proctor of the east wing) to the scene of action, Ted emptied a can of mo¬ lasses outside the Professor’s door to prevent him from com¬ ing to the rooms of the boys. The joke was not played with impunity as a molasses can was found in Ted’s room upon investigation. To this then, we attribute the fact that Theo¬ dore Merril translated fifty extra lines of Greek a day for two weeks and received five demerits. Hustling thru the storm Ted soon reached the postoffice, where several of his friends were getting their mail. They greeted him boisterously and teased him about the extra lines of Greek. Suddenly, the door was opened and Ralph Kuhns came swiftly in the lobby. “Hi, Kuhny! Who are the letters from this week? The girl in Boston or Chicago?” shouted Ted. “Jove! I lost count when two came last week,” remarked one. “Aw, shut up! Always buttin’ into my business,” growled Ralph in a surly tone. “Why not publish a few sweet ones for a theme in the Annual, under the title, “Love Letters of a Lovesick So—,” began Rob Travill, but was stopped by the look on Ralph’s face. “By the way, shall you write for the Annual, Ted ?” in¬ quired Tom Gallins. “Me! Thunder, no!” shouted Ted, for his foot-ball prow¬ ess far exceeded his literary ability. “But I must get my mail. So long!” “Two from Florida,” mumbled Ted as he left the build¬ ing. “I can’t open them in this storm, so I better get to the Dorm.” So saying he took a short cut and reached the Dor¬ mitory before the rest. The warm felt splendid after the cold blast of the storm. Throwing his coat on a chair, he seated himself by the table to open his mail. “From Dad,” he exclaimed half aloud.— “Dear Son: I have gone to Florida for the winter on account of an attack of pneumonia, which left me rather weak. Don’t worry as I soon will be well. You know how weak one gets.”—Ted’s voice broke, his strong, jolly father sick and weak. “I am sorry this means Christmas at the Hall. The prize for the best theme interested me. Not the prize, but I wish you to do better literary work, my boy. (Jove, I’m no genius.)JNothing could please me better than to have you win it. Try for my sake.” “For my sake! Well, for Dad’s sake I will try. He has been grand to me; I’ll do it! By Jove I will. I know I never can win, but—” Just then Robert Travill en¬ tered the room. As the dinner-bell sounded presently, Rob did not notice Ted’s pre occupied air. When the dinner was over Theodore returned to his room to prepare those “fifty lines of Greek.” Rob, who was rather studious, followed. Ted was unusually quiet Indeed, Rob glanced more than once at his roommate in a worried manner. Finally he blurted out: “Say, Ted, are you sick or—” then noticing Ted’s worried look, added, in a softer tone “Come, tell a fellow; has something gone wrong? Did Hiller put you out? Tell me, Ted.” PAGE SIXTY-EIGHT No. Dad has pneumonia, so the doctor’s sent him to Florida. Mother never told me when he was so sick.” Ted swallowed miserably. “Dad wants me to try for the prize.” Glory, Rob, I never wrote a good theme in my life, so— ” “Well, I am sorry, Ted. But he wrote to you and made the journey to Florida, so he must be better.” That means Christmas at school.” Ted nodded. “Say, I say, come home with me. Mother and Dad will be delighted, not to mention my sisters and myself. Come with me, do.” “Aw,” hesitated Ted, though a longing note crept in that boyish “aw.” “Come,” urged Rob. Mother said I should bring some fellow with me. I would not leave you here for a fortune. So, of course, you will come with me?” “All right; I will. It is mighty kind of you. Thanks, old fellow, said Ted to Rob, extending his hand, which was heartily shaken. “By the way, you can find some old Annuals down stairs that might give you some idea of what is usually written,” remarked Rob a few minutes later when they had settled down for work. When Ralph Kuhns left the boys that evening he knew that Ted Merril was not going to write a theme, so he decided to write one. “I can at least do something without Merril to in¬ terfere,” he growled to himself. After supper he went to the library to look for reference on the life of Julius Caesar. On opening the book he found the place marked with a scrap of paper, which he unconsciously kept in his hand. After fin¬ ishing the article he decided to look over some old Annuals. “Hm-m-m, ‘When the Swede Won.’ Looks good. Hello! written in ’87. A fellow might copy this, hand it in, win the prize and never get caught. Believe I will take a few notes for future reference.” So saying he spread out the paper in his hand. Theodore Merril — History. When Caesar en¬ tered—. “Ted said he would not write. I might hand this theme, ‘When the Swede Won,’ in and make the faculty catch him for cheating. I’ll get even for his working up the cap¬ taincy of the team for himself.” Picking up the Annual he took it to his room. It so hap¬ pened Karl Lind, Ralph’s roommate, was not in, as it was some time before the retiring bell. Quickly Ralph copied the theme and began to imitate the writing of Merril from the scrap of paper. Ralph was an expert writer so he soon made a fair copy of Merril’s clear, precise hand. He had turned to his Chemistry text-book when he heard Karl coming down the hall; so hastily closing the Annual, with the paper in it, he put the book in his suit-case just in time, for Karl burst into the room. The few remaining days of college passed quickly. One afternoon, acting on Rob’s advice, Ted went to the library to look over the Annuals. In his search he came upon the one placed there by Ralph. “Jove!” he remarked, “wonder who wrote this: ‘When the Swede Won?’ Pretty good tale. It seems to me I shall never be able to write a theme, ugh! ’87, ’87,1 might copy this one; hand it in and win. Dad wants me to win and, my goodness, I can’t write a theme. Believe I will copy it; at any rate I might add to it and win.” As he was alone he copied the story, put it in his pocket and left the room, thinking no more about it. On the twenty-third of December Rob and Ted boarded the Pullman for Lennox. Many people paused in their holi¬ day bustle to glance at the bright, boyish faces. The one so dark, making a strong contrast with Ted’s red hair and fair skin. The Christmas spirit was abroad, every one looked happy, tho’ many were tired. Wherever the train stopped people with holly and packages got aboard. A flaky snow, which had begun in the morning, was fast covering the pines and spruces, making a pure mantle over the earth for the King’s Birthday. Dusk was coming on and the lights from the farm houses fell on the snowy fields, when the boys came to Lennox. Rob¬ ert’s father met them with the high-back sleigh. The moment PAGE SIXTY-NINE Ted heard Mr. Travill’s hearty welcome all doubts that might have assailed him about his welcome fled. As the sleigh, drawn by a spirited bay, flew over the snowy roads, Mr. Travill questioned the boys as to their school work. “A fine foot-ball record, Merril,” he remarked. “I guess your father is proud of you.” “Thank you, sir; Dad was delighted.” As he was the captain of the eleven two seasons. “Say, father,” broke in Rob, “I’m trying for the hockey team.” “Good, son! I am delighted !” “Yes,” added Ted, “I would not be surprised if Rob be¬ came Captain.” At which Rob’s manly face grew a shade redder than wintry winds cause. When they reached the Travill home Mrs. Travill and Robert’s twin sisters, Constance and Prudence, met them on the broad colonial porch. “My dear boy, I am so glad to see you,” said Mrs. Travill, kissing him fondly. “You too, Mr. Merril, I am so glad to have you with us for your vacation.” “Thank you. I was delighted to come, you may be sure.” “Since no one will introduce us, we must do it ourselves — Prudence and Constance Travill,” said the twins in one breath. “U. S. A., Lennox, Massachusetts,” added Prue. “Charmed to meet you, I am sure,” drawled Ted as he bent over the slender hands of the twins. When the greetings were over, they all went into the house laughing and talking merrily. “You boys may go to your rooms to dress for dinner. Dinner is at six-thirty,” remarked Mrs. Travill quietly after a time. Ted found a large room luxuriously furnished, with a pri¬ vate bath. “Bully,” he murmured. Finishing dressing he sat down to think over his theme notes. All was going splendid¬ ly, the copied theme scarcely recognizable. Suddenly he glanced at the clock, which was twenty minutes after six, so he started down stairs. In the hall he met the twins; follow¬ ing the familiar manner with which he started, he entered the drawing-room with a twin, fresh and sweet, on each arm. Rob accused him of flirting with Con. “Never shall you enter this house again, thou villain, if I find you flirting with my sister.” Rob stormed. “Come here, sweetling.” Taking Con he led the way to the dining-room. At the table the discussion of the themes for the Hampton Hall Annual arose. “I recall,” remarked Mr. Travill, “an incident of my col¬ lege days. One of the boys, rich but dull and lazy, had a grudge against one of his mates who was especially brilliant, the lat¬ ter afterwards winning the valedictory. The former copied a theme, sent it in and won the prize. The other boy’s disap¬ pointment I shall never forget. I afterwards learned that his mother went without coal that month, because they were too poor to buy it when he lost the gold of the prize.” “Dad, is that true?” inquired Rob. “Most assuredly. I know the people.” “Father, I don’t see how that lazy cheat could have acted thus. It was so terribly wrong. The cheat!” said Con, in¬ dignantly. During the discussion, and all the evening, Ted felt like a criminal, for he had copied a theme though he had not handed it in. By copying that theme he might harm some needy one. “A cheat!” rang in his ears. That evening he fought the bat¬ tle out. Harm might never come, but it was terribly wrong. “Cheat, cheat,” again and again Con’s words rang in his ears. So alone Ted fought. He had better be right than win, still—. Finally, the right conquered in a battle many a lad has lost. The right is best, even tho’ a prize of gold is lost. The weeks that followed were ones of great joy—the twins being the gayest of companions. The day before Christ¬ mas they all went for pine and other holiday greens. As the twins were expert skiiers, they had great fun on the hills about Lennox. The night after Christmas the twins gave a dancing party. Fortunately, Ted danced well, so he enjoyed the party thoroughly. Pretty girls flourished at Lennox and, PAGE SEVENTY I fear, Ted found sitting out” as much pleasure as dancing. Ah Ted! New Year’s Eve the four made resolutions. When it came Ted’s turn he wrote: “Resolved, I shall never cheat.” Ho, that’s not fair, ’cau se you never do!” exclaimed Prue, then blushing at her statement, to Rob’s infinite amusement. At the end of two weeks the boys returned to Hampton Hall. Somehow Ted had managed to write his theme, so shortly after his return laid it on the professor’s desk. Ralph Kuhns also handed in a theme with Ted Merril’s name signed to it. One morning after chapel, Professor Duke said, “Theo¬ dore Merril is requested to go to the office at once.” In dis¬ may Ted went to the office of Professor Harrington. “Sir. you sent for me.” “Yes; on a very serious matter. Why did you send two themes to the faculty?” “I—I only sent in one, sir.” “So? I was sui ' prised to see two in your name, especially as one was copied. It so happened that I was the author of ‘When the Swede Won,’ myself. To make sure I looked in the Annual and found your name, in your writing, on this pa¬ per,” holding up the scrap of paper from which Ralph had copied Ted’s writing. “Of course, the other theme cannot be published, though it was the best,” he added. “Truly, sir; I only hand in one. Surely some one else—” “You would blame another? Who, sir? This is a grave offense.” “No, I know no one to blame, but I did not do it.” “I hope not; I will look into the matter again. Good-day!” When Ted left the office the blood was pounding his ears. How was it the faculty should receive two themes in. his name? All day he pondered the question. His recitations were unusually poor. Professor Hiller scowled over his trans¬ lation, while Professor Duke remarked about “his astounding dullness over such a simple example in calculus.” After the recitation Ted started for the postoffice in hopes of finding some mail from Florida. As it was quite dusk when he started for the Dormitory, he decided to make the short cut. When nearing the lake on which they played hock¬ ey, where the ice was thin, he espied a lone skater coming to¬ ward him. “Stop! Hi! Stop!” he shouted, but too late. Hearing the warning the boy looked up; the ice broke; he sank from sight. Quick as a flash Teddy grabbed a hockey stick lying near and held it out to the figure when he came up. The boy grasped it with all his power and, in some manner, Ted managed to draw him ashore. “Ralph Kuhns,” he murmured. “Ted,” his voice broke, “How could you save me after all the wrong I have done to you?” “What wrong, boy?” puzzled Ted. “I handed in the copied theme, ‘When the Swede Won,’ and signed your name. I hoped to get even with you for all your slights and victories over me. Now you save my life. Oh, Ted, forgive me !” he ended, miserably. “Surely. Here’s my hand.” In silence the boys shook hands; the silent feud was over. “Ralph, will you make it right with the faculty?” “Y—y—es, yes I will do all I can to make it right for you, Ted!” Suppose we open the mail sent some days later from Hampton Hall to Florida. In one letter we find a sentence that closes the story: “Dear Dad—I won the prize!” —Katherine Roller, ’20. PAGE SEVENTY-ONE PAGE SEVENTY-TWO SOCIETY HAPPENINGS. THE SENIOR HALLOWEEN PARTY. The Senior Halloween Party was held October 24 at Haw¬ kins Academy. The guests were all masked and many gro¬ tesque and fancy costumes were found. Dancing was the pricipal diversion. Mrs. Roeliff Brink- erhoff, Jr., and Miss Stella Bowers honored us by acting as chaperones. Refreshments, in keeping with the season, were served later in the evening. junior Party. The first Junior party was held the latter part of Novem¬ ber at Hawkins Academy. There was a good representation of the Junior class present. Dancing and cards provided the entertainment. Light refreshments were served during the course of the evening. junior and senior reception. The Junior-Senior Reception was held March 30 in the High School. The color scheme of the evening was yellow and white and the halls were beautifully decorated. “Mice and Men” was given by the members of the Junior class, which took our thoughts back to the time of our grandparents. The music was furnished by our High School orchestra. The grand march followed the play and the guests were seated at small tables on the first floor, where refreshments were served. The second floor, in front of study 2, was furnished with rock¬ ers and comfortable chairs. Victrola music and a social time was enjoyed by all. DRAMATICS. LITERARY SOCIETIES The Senior Literary Society was organized with Clemant Ballantine, President; Vera Smythe, Vice President; Glenn Bierly, Treasurer and Secretary. The meetings were held in the evenings, at which the programs consisted of musical and reading ' selections, and one evening a mock trial was staged. The society was under the direction of Miss Patterson. JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETY. This Society was organized with Ralph Allenbaugh as President; Russel Algers, Vice President; Sadie Bein, Secre¬ tary, and Herman Brunk, Treasurer. So far as any one knows, no meetings were held. Some say cold weather was the cause; others don’t know why.

One of the most educational places was the Physics Labora¬ tory, where several Senior boys gave an electrical display. Gypsies, Japanese girls, and wild men, were frequently found among the crowd. The money received was used for the purpose of buying pictures, which were badly needed. We thank all those who helped and took part to make our Carnival the huge success it was. PAGE SEVENTY-FOUR PAGE SEVENTY-FIVE REVIEW OF THE 1916 FOOT-BALL SEASON. The foot-ball season of 1916 was a success, and the pros¬ pects for the 1917 season are very bright with nine (9) letter men back. A new feature was introduced this year, when practice was held a week before school began, at Lake Chippewa. On the first day of practice 27 candidates reported; the good ma¬ terial promised a successful season. In the opening game with Greenwich, Mansfield won 8—0, The defensive playing of the team against some of the best offensive playing that was met all season was excellent. The next Saturday we met Ashland and won 12—0. This was one of the best games of the season. The whole team played a good game and Angle and Hawk were especially good on the defensive. The largest crowd of the season at¬ tended this game. The following Saturday the team was defeated by Mt. Vernon 13—12. - Mansfield entered the game over confident, and, as result, Mt. Vernon piled up 13 points in the first half. Mansfield came back strong in the second half and scored two touchdowns. Craig and King played a good game for Mansfield. Marion was defeated the next Saturday 26—13. The of¬ fensive playing of the team was excellent, especially that of Bergstrom. Angle played a fine defensive game. The following Saturday we were defeated by Columbus East High School 41—0. Mansfield was completly out¬ played. The next Saturday was the same story. Oberlin defeated us 28—0. Mansfield played a much better game than score shows. Maxwell played a fine defensive game. The hardest practices of the season were held during the next week, and on November 13 we tied the strong Fostoria team 13—13. At the end of the first half the score was 13—0 against us. The second half was a different story, Fostoria’s defense, which had been strong up to this time, crumbled be¬ fore Mansfield’s fast and hard offensive playing. In the third quarter Mansfield scored two touchdowns and during the balance of the game we were on the offensive. King’s and Bergstrom’s playing was especially good, but credit should be given the whole team for it’s excellent work. The next two regular games were cancelled, but a game was played with Lexington the next week. Mansfield won 33—0. The final game of the season was played with the Alumni on Thanksgiving day. Contrary to the “dope” the team com¬ pletely out-played the Alumni and won 41—0. The Alumni could not advance the ball at all, until the final quarter when a number of substitutes were playing for the High School. Stoodt, and Craig especially, played a fine game. In looking back over the work of each member of the team it must be said that every member played his best, and there was not a speck of “yellow” displayed during the entire season.

The success of the varsity was brought about to a large extent by the efforts of its members. Among the stars on the first line reserves were Kalbfleisch, Uhlich, DeWitt, Bob Atton, Coss, Frank Lee and Matz. Uhlich acted as Captain of the Reserves. It is hoped that in the future some system will be inaugu¬ rated by which members of the second team will receive a letter, or their numerals for their efforts.

Besides winning all the games played on the home floor, the “North Western Championship” was won. Practice started several weeks before Christmas vacation, and a large number came out for the team. Matz was chosen Captain shortly after the season began. The first game was played with the Alumni, during the holidays. The High School won 60—41. Murphy and Atton both played a good game. In the next game, with Marion, the playing of both teams was very good, but the High Sc hool was just a little bit to fast for their opponents and won, 38—33. Matz and Murphy did most of the scoring for Mansfield. The next week Mansfield defeated Bucyrus 41—20. Al¬ though Mansfield won by a good score, the playing of the team was rather slow. The game with Ashland was a fast one, as both teams played their best. Mansfield won 44—24. The large crowd gave a great deal of encouragement to the team. Atton and Bergstrom both put up a fine game. The team played Oberlin the following week and was de¬ feated. The game ended with the score 32—27 against us. Those who saw the game said Mansfield was the better of the two teams. A return game was played with Marion the next week in which Mansfield was defeated, the score being 35 —29. One of the best games of the season was that with Mt. Vernon, which the High School won 41—39. The playing of the team was fine, and especially that of Matz, Bergstrom and Coss. On the return game with Ashland the latter team won 28—26. A large crowd of students went over to Ashland to see the game. Bergstrom and Matz played a good game for Mansfield. In the game with Norwalk, Mansfield was defeated 18—58, although the team put up a good game. They were not able to stop their fast opponents. Mansfield defeated Delaware the following week 27—19. The playing of the team was slow, and if it had not been for Coss, Mansfield would probably have been defeated. The showing of the team in the Delaware tournament was rather disappointing, as Barberton defeated us 22—12 in the first game. While at Delaware the team defeated Hunts¬ ville 44—19. Hawk played well in both games. The night before the Mt. Vernon game the High School easily defeated Crestline, 40—5. Crestline never had a chance from start to finish. The following night Mt. Vernon defeated the High School 52—18, in a return game. The Mansfield forwards were guarded very close, and, as a result, they failed to score often, while on the other hand the guarding of the High School was poor. Mansfield displayed the best form of the season when it defeated the strong Norwalk team team 24—23. The game was fast and the score close at all times. The team deserves great credit for winning this game, as Norwrlk was consid¬ ered one of the best teams in Ohio this year. The playing of the team in the Tiffin tournament was ex¬ cellent. In the first game Mansfield defeated Fremont 24—11; in the second game Tiffin was defeated 23—13. Bucyrus was defeated in the finals of the Eastern division. In the semi¬ finals for the Northwestern Championship, Mansfield defeat¬ ed Toledo Waite Reserves 19—18. The playing of team in PAGE EIGHTY this game was fine. Coss and Bergstrom both played a very strong game. In the finals Archibold was defeated 23-21. This was one of the most exciting games of the season. Matz and Hawk each played a strong game. The High School was defeated in the final game of the season by the Alumni 38—30. The Alumni team was made up of such men as Henry, Tressel, Marquis, Leuthner and Hosier. The High School put up an excellent game against their heavier and more experienced opponents. Hawk played the strongest game for the High School, while Henry played the best game for the Alumni. M.

The points were credited to other members of the team. PAGE EIGHTY-TWO MANAGERS Mr. Clark was Faculty Manager this year and is to be congratulated on the able manner in which he handled things. Efflo Plazer held the position of Student Manager. “Doc” took care of the sale of tickets, etc., very well. COACHES Mr. Patton, who has coached the athletic teams at the High School for the past three years, was again in charge this year. If any man can make the fellows work and turn out good teams, “Pat” certainly can. Mr. Davis and Mr. Kemp were out nearly every night helping Patton. Both have had experience in coaching and were a great help to the team. Mr. Ward spent much of his spare time on the foot ball field last fall. BASEBALL AND TENNIS As this book goes to press there are hopes of having a baseball team, and also a tennis tournament this spring. There is no reason why we should not have both, as this High School is large enough to furnish good material, and support. PAGE EIGHTY-THREE BASKET BALL TEAM PAGE EIGHTY-FOUR HISTORY OF KAMP CHIP Now in the days of Woodrow the Wise it came to pass that H. Phillipius Pattonius, worthy trainer of Mudfield gladiators of the Mansfield High School, betook himself with a goodly number of his warriors to the lake which men call Chippewa. And they numbered four and twenty. And among them were such noted personages as Uppy the Toad, Terrible Tim, Arba the Fair and King Dodo the Red. And the innkeeper at Chippewa rejoiced greatly at the approach of the band, for thereby might he gain many shin¬ ing shekels wherewith to grace his coffers. And he did gig¬ gle and rub his hands, and, upon second thought, did hide the sum and total of his valuables and breakables in the cellar. And the fair hostess did conduct them to the Wade Inn, but from within came the odors like unto those arising from the home of the portly porker, and the warriors politely declined Then did they occupy two cottages upon the banks of the lake. Thus ended the first day. And on the evening of the first day the innkeeper com¬ manded to turn on the light, but there was no light, for mis¬ placed punts and passes had blinked the bulbs. And the war¬ riors did occupy themselves with games and at the hour of twelve did hit the cornhusks. And in the wee sma’ hours of the morning was th ere much bellowing like unto the famous Stock Yard Chorus singing “Die Wacht am Rhein,” for many a one did receive a shoe upon the pate, or perhaps a refreshing glass of ice water to cool him after the day’s work. And one, Weenie, on the first night did accompany a fair (?) damsel chezelle and was forced by the hard-hearted warriors to remain without ’til morn. Early did the warriors arise and at the musical peal of the hash bell did hasten to grub. And the waitresses were, as the plebians say, “some class,” the illusion, probably, being heightened by the magnificent fodder which was served. And. thereafter each day was taken up with the routine of rising, feeding, practice, swimming, boating, tennis, walks, dancing, fishing and many other diversions. And many journeys were taken by the gang. Famous among these are the trips of Reddius King and Arthuria to Medina. And, thereunto, we add these chronicles: Upon the event of the waitress handing his pie to Terri¬ ble Tim, the Fair Arba did utter “bonehead.” The waitress, thinking it applied to her, attempted to starve him the rest of the week. Upon a marauding expedition during the night, Tim Murphy was chased from Tom O’Donnell’s room by a flat-iron, luckily winning by a hair’s breadth. The damsels were as scarce as hen’s teeth. Among the neighbors there was great weeping and wail¬ ing and gnashing of teeth, for the lusty-Iunged warriors howled all night. Red King slept, for a while with a piece of ice. Upon awaking he stated-?-?-?-! The general store did a rushing business while the gang was there. As the gang in No. 1 were getting ready to drop P. N. Watts in the drink the worthy H. P. P. appeared on the scene and spoiled the show. PAGE EIGHTY-FIVE The successful organization of our music this year is due largely to the untiring and unceasing work of Mr. Carmine, who volunteered his services in the absence of Mr. Frost. We herein wish to extend our thanks to him in behalf of the entire school. Miss Marguerite Merkel has served as pianist this year and has most ably filled the position. PAGE EIGHTY-SIX THE BOYS ' GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club is a new institution this year and promises to rival even that of the girls. Their talent was made manifest at our festival. PAGE EIGHTY-SEVEN THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Miss Leonard has made it possible for us to have a Girls’ Glee Club this year. She has worked hard and earnestly using much of her spare time for this organization. The girls have shown remarkable ability under her leadership. PAGE EIGHTY-EIGHT THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra is bigger and better than ever this year. All have been faithful at rehearsals and are a credit to the school.

After that in the year nineteen hundred fifteen It called itself Junior not hard to be seen And it gave several parties and dances galore About seventy or eighty; but at that perhaps more.
