Then loo the War has In-onght to our school many of the ' minent speakers of the day. Among these were Lientenant Picard, from France. .Joe Chapel. James Pnffer, a V. S. soldier from the trenches, representative.s of colleges and many local men. It was greatlv dne to tlieii ' in- .sjiiring speeche.s, both on edneational affairs and I he war th-.it the second or in- tangible impression arose. For im|iei-cep)il l - at first, yet iiDne the less snrel -, the .spirit of the student body grew and hroidened ami nowhere was there liner jiatriotism than in our High School. Two of onr teachers of this year. Mr. Rein- hart and Mr. Etter and many of the alumni are in the ser ice of the F. S. Though they are mentioned later in this book yet here we take the opportunity to greet them and express our pride in them. [Many pupils this year have discontinued their High School conrs ' to accept ])ositions. ' J ' lie Senioi ' class has probabl - fared the worst and we were extrt ' uiel.v sorry to lose our classmates of three years. All those Seniors attending school at the time the Senior |)ictures were sent to the engraving house have their ])ietHres in this Annual. Those who were not in school at that time. ha e not. Fpon consideration this was deemed wise and just. This year has seemed to be one of general u|)hea al foi- teachers as well as .scholars. Five new teachers were added to the Faculty at the beginning of school : j Ir. Reinhart, Mr. Kochheiser. Miss Souder. Miss Bell Moore and Miss Blackford, while the five teach(M-s who left our Higli School were Mr. Kaiser. Mr. Lloyd, Miss Brightman. Miss Schmidt and Miss Connett. Needless to say we were as sorry to lose the latter as we were haij])y to greet the former. Throughout the course of the school yea i ' five teachers have left : Mr. Reinhart, Miss Bedger, Mr. Carmine, Mr. Fatton and Mr. Daxis. onr principal. Their places were respedti ' ely taken by Miss Reinhart, Miss Schulthess. Mr. Ftter, Mr. Foster and Mr. Frank Whitehouse. Shortly before the Annaul went to i)ress ] Jr. Ftter also left to go to eanip.

The invitations were characterized by their marked simplicity which was in keeuiiiu ' with the times. The co ' er for the Annual was (diosen — Old Blue and White. In view of the ])resent color scheme, the name adojited last year The Red and hite was not used. The colors were chosen in regard to the fact that e.irly in our Iliiih School coui ' sc these eoloi ' s were selected for o!ir class colors. J- Tlie tiradiuij, ' system was ehaniicd this ye.ir ami the niL tho.l used ectcmix ' ely in colleges and uni ' ersilies was aflojjted.

The prize drawintrs vicre chosen by a committee comjjo-ied of liss Bright and the Art Kditor; the stories by Miss Patterson, Miss l eiDiard and the Literar ' I ' alilor. . mnials marked in some din ' cr ait w ay will be gi eii as prizes. Idiis is the eleventh successive year that th. ' S.-aior cla ; has pulilished the . miual. The inca ' casiiig ui-eatness of the High School and the changing ' conditions lia ( ' largely molded the form of this liook. The purjtosc of the ])reient staff has been to ])resent sidiool life in all its phrases, the innci ' working-; of the student life — its joys and sorrows, diaidgtaies and pleasures. ' I ' liis bo:ik is the result of many lioui ' s of earnest thought .iiid sincere effort — perhaps many more than you, gentle readei ' , imagine. It is the standard l)y which our High School is judgeil ami we ha ' e done our best to (de ale it.

The most manifest sign of wisdom is continued cheerfulness. ELSIE HEELER Wv strongh susjject that Elsie is one of the genuises of the class. She manages to accomi)lish won- ders even without the midnight oil. She has plenty of stick-tt)-it-ive- ness, especially in an argument, but is nearly always right, anyway.

The girls might envy Mary ' s pretty face and winning way if they did not love her so well themselves. We think this is a good picture of her but if you are in doubt as to her charms ask Art. Aside from being active in social and class affairs she is also a fine student. Queen rose in the roseljud garden of girls. 23 - ■Illllll SADYE BEIN— Shirley Photo Editor, Annual.

She studies purely because she likes to and along with her seriousness there goes a fellow feeling that makes her won- drous kind. She always rescues the class from the horrors of a mis- erable recitation. She gains the prize who never shirks, Who waits and watches and always works. - 29 — LUCILE WEBBER— Lucy The tjirl with a curl, a smile and a winning way.

For some reason, probably be- cause of my solitude, my thoughts drifted back to the days I spent in dear old M.H.S. Ten years had passed since I left America to come over to Europe with the Reconstruction Wor kers. My work kept me in India where much damage had been done to the ancient temples during the war and many valuable papers had been lost. It was in search of some of these documents that we were now engaged. My reverie was disturbed by a clamor outside my window and upon investi- gating I saw two natives surrounded by a crowd of laborers making their way toward the cottage carrying a black oblong case. As I had left word that anything of importance should be sent directly to me, I was very impatient and curious to see what it was they had found. I opened the door and the boys entered. ' AMiat is it? T asked. They shook their heads but with many motions and in their smattering of English they replied that they had found it in the cellar of the ruined temj)le. By this time they had set it up against the wall and were backing out of the room. I stepped up in front of the l ox; it appeared to have no opening. I passed my hand carefully around the entire case until finally, as my fingers rested on the head of a little carved Budda, the front started to slide slowly back and I was look- ing at my own reflection in a huge mirror. Traced at the top in Hebrew were the words Ask and you shall be answered. Of course this sounded incredible but I was willing to try it, so as I sank into a low chair in front of the glass I asked what I wanted to know more than anything else in the world — where the lights of the class ' 18 were shining after ten years of real life. The mirror became blurred and slowly a picture seemed to be taking form upon the crystal surface; a crowded theater lobby was the result, with its throngs of pleasure-seeking patrons. Keeping the crowd in line were two young women in very business-like police uniforms, ' hen they turned their heads towards the front I recognized Leona Beam and Harriet Ackerman. The scene changed much as a moving picture, and I found myself pushing along with the crowd to the ticket window where Dorothy Nolan was selling tickets with all her old salesmanship ability. It suddenly grew dark and I was ushered to my seat by Helen Sutter. The curtain was just rising and my heart grew suddenly light when my old friend Mabel Beer advanced to the center of the stage, the opera star of the season. In a few moments her leading man Dwight McCullough also appeared and the opera enacted before my eyes was a spectacle of wonders. The c[uestion arose in my mind, Who could have written it? The brilliancy of the stage toned down and a cozy little studio took its place. Here Earnest Wheaton was industriously penning page after page of manuscript and I then awakened to the fact that my ciuestion was answered; he was the play writer. He arose from his work as his wife, my old schoolmate Marjorie Karns, entered with Mary and Art Pealer, now an old married couple, who were entertaining with a dinner cele- brating the success of Earnest ' s latest play, Fair but Fickle, in which Gayle Swain was starring.

Of course they accepted. .Vl the theater they were surprise I to see almost the entire cast made up of their classmates, Margaret Miller was the leading chorus girl.

Hazel Hetler and Helen Groft operate the elevators and are now very busy taking crowds of of people to the gymnasium. Gertrude Atton, the girls ' basketball coach is very e ccited for the hardest game of the season is about to be ])layed. I hope they will win. There were many familiar faces among the crowd but so youthful looking I could hardly realize that they were my old classmates, Bernice Bush, Ruth Mc- Clellan and Mary Hughes, all teachers in the High School. Justine Kemj) was standing in the hall wa iting for her husband Russell Easterday, the football coach. On Main street I saw Ruth Them and Frank Imhoff with a market basket buying fresh vegetables in Wolfarth ' s market; Karl ' s wife Marie Maglott was wait- ing on them. Seated at a big desk in the News office was Dorothy Goetz reading over a pile of jjajjcrs — she is now editor of the Mansfield News. Beside her was Alice Ropp the social editor — they were discussing Isla Starrett ' s success in the literary world. Corrinne Coblentz is the founder of the girls Boarding School out near Casino Lake. Martha Poole is furnishing the financial bac ' kiug for it. Charles Jackson and his wife Rosilie Becker are running the Southern Hotel and employ Eva Ter- man as a cabaret singer. Clarence Baumberger and Frieda Schettler are living out near South I ' ark and keep a zoo. I met them as they were c ' oming out of Stroeh- er ' s Movie Place wh ere Cecil Banks and Dorothy Arnold were starring in their latest picture play The Plumming Birds. Slowly the ]-ictures faded and across the mirror fluttered a silk flag of red, white and blue, our class colors and our school colors coml)ined to form the flag of our nation. Beneath the flag were the words Hitch your wagon to a star and then hang on. MARGARET CRAMER ' 18.

G3 hen Electricity Was King Al the lieginniiig of the twenty-first century an inventor had built a fuel en- gine which surpassed everything in efficiency and speed. The patent had l)een taken oxer hy a wealthy syndicate which had used it in a six wheeled automobile, the Excelsior. Fierjjont Jackson was the only child of the president of this syndicate and having always been indulged, considered himself infallible. He claimed that a machine which could trax ' el two hundred miles per hour could not be surjjassed; in this he was opposed by Daruion DeLejisette who claimed he could invent a machine, driven by electricity, that would outclass the Excelsior. Darmon DeLepsette was a young man who had come to believe that an elec- trical iharge could be broken down and sent through the air to rim an independent motor. He had inherited a small fortune w Inch he had generously used in follow ing this idea. Darnuin had fni- some time lieen paying his attentions to the daughter of Mr. Lowe, another man in the controlling affairs of the syndicate, when Pierpont, becoming ac(|uainted with Miss Lowe at a ball, Ijecame Darmon ' s rival. One morning Darmon recei etl a letter from his attorney stating that the mone invested in certain stocks Inui been lost and liis usual allowance could not be sent him. As he had all but completed a generator with whit-h he was able to transmit | ower tn a snuill niodel electni|)lane he believed that he would get the syndicate to l)ack him. That evening the directt)rs of the syndicate held a meeting and Darmon took up the matter with them. He found that Fierpont wielded considerable influence luit he argued that the in ention when comijleted would bring about many changes; barriers now existing t-ould be o ercome, time of crossing the ocean could be cut down to one-tenth, trains could be operated In- one man, battleships would be more eft ' ecti ' e and. in short, ■showed that the benefits to our country would be inestim- able. Lieriiont then took tlu ' floor anil declared that an invention of this type was impossilile. that an attem])t to back such a daring venture would cast a reflection on the company ' s name and as tliere had been no demonstration, the engine in the Excelsior ei)uld have no rival. — tliere was much discussion which ended finally against Darmtin. One evening a theater party was arranged with Darmon to accompany Miss Lowe. Fierpont hearing of the plans sent a forged letter, presumably from another town, announcing that Darmon could not be there on account of a pressing business engagement. Fier])ont gave the letter to a messenger boy to deliver. Soon after the delivery of the letter. Miss Low e received a call on the wireless telephone from Pierpi)ut asking her for the theater [larty that evening and feeling Darmon s snj)- posed slight, she consented. Pier])ont called earlier than Darmon had arranged to do and it so happened as they were leaving they passed Darmon. Darmon ' s attentions ceased but the Ex- celsior was seen often at the Lowe home. Darmon confined himself more and more to his workshop and with the aid of some borrow ed capital kept a force of mechanics working day and night. One day the ]jurr of a strange motor was heard coming from one section of his worksho]). then shiwly the electroplane was brought out. and suddenly it glided — 54 - I iiitd the air jiointj higher, (hii ' tiiiu ' hilher nnd thitlici- like - (lnlethiIli ■ just (■diiseioiis of its new liorii energy. Many such fiii lits t ' olloweil ami mic al ' teriKiiui while cm a loiiu ' cniss cciiinli-y fiiuht he saw a mass of wreckage lieaped in tlie main road, doing lowci- he dis- covered the wreckage to he from a collision hetween a hea y truck aii l a pleasure car. Having made a laudiug. he in(|uii ' ' d of a solitary hystander the ualure of the accident. He gathered that a girl had been seriously hurt while hei- fathci- had !)eeu rendered unconscious, l)oth had heen carried to a neighhoriTig farm-house wherea ])hysician had lieen smnmoned. (ilanciug at the wreckage he noted for the hrst time the monogram of l.owi ' . (ioing to the house lie was met hy the gra ' e-faced physician who informed him that Miss Lowe ' s injuries wia-c of su -h a nature that a s])ecialisl iinisl he hrought from the cily williiii four hours if her life w,-is to he saved. In the meantime a shadow darkened llie door hut was unnoliced hy Dar- mon: the doctor continued, a message had heeii scut to Mr. ( i rail am. the s|iccialist. to he ready. At this point a -oice iiilerru|ilcil hy asking: What is his address! ' Turning around Darmoii saw I ierpoul Jacks iii fraiiic(| in t lie dooi ' w ay. Start- led, he said evenily : I will hring Mr. (irah.im here in t ilue, taking I he address and starling for the |)lane al the same time. I ' ierpont whirled ahout and hurried to his car. The Excelsior was well start- ed heh)re the plane rose swiftly from the earth. It was a race hetween an electric power engine and a fuel engine. ' l he specialist was in Spokane three hundred seventy-fi e miles distant from the scene of the accideni so that a machine like the Kxcelsior could harely cover the distance in time. The eleetro])lane was now mo •ing sw iftly toward the a|iproachiiig torni rlouds which if they caught it wonhl hring disaster to the induction machinery. Darmon nuist go above them or go down in (h ' h ' al. I ' ln ' owing in his last s|iee l he slowly mounted to safety. The Excelsior was racing madl ' along far below, the plane gained on it low l ' then faster till gaining greater s])eed. it jjassed far ahead of it. The city iidileiilx ' loomed up on the h(jrizon. Slowing up suddenly he was barely able to make a landing al the desired place. The s|)ecialist was there but hesitated on entering the electro])lane. liiit being assured by Darmon he entered and they were soon off on the return tri]). In exactly two hours and a half the electroplane was again at the scene of the accident. Three weeks later while working in his shop he was handed an invitation from Miss Lowe to come to her house. He was interrupteil by the boy: Say ( iijitain. he drawled, Did you gi ' e a letter to I ha I Jackson fellow from you to Miss Lowe a couple of months ago No, why!- ' said Dai-moii. Well, I will tell you. About two months ago I ha l a call to deli ei- a letter ap|)arently from you in a neighboring town. This evidence pro ' ed Pier])ont s diiplii-ity and Darmon was once again left in inidisturbed jjossession of the field. Soon afterwards negotiations were o|, ' ened for the piircliasc ot the in ' ciilion which had |)ro ( ' d that electricity was king.

The big limited was carrying him northwest to college, to Gettysburg. The car wheels ground out the refrain, College, Gettysburg, college. Gettysliurg. To Dudley Fairfax, a Georgian boy, Gettysburg was a synonym with Civil War and his thoughts flew back to the times of which his father had told him. Dudley did not want to go to Gettysburg, he did not want to be near the scene of that great Northern victory of the Civil War. IJut (icttyslturg was his father ' s college and to (iettysl)urg he was going. How often had his father, the first Dudley Fairfax, told him of the l)itter days at college when the war broke out. He always reniendiered the story of that morning at breakfast, when Tom Mi-.VUister.his father ' s roommate, had jumped on a chair and drawing a flag from his coat, had rung out a call to the Xorthern colors. The Xorthern boys left college and short- ly afterward the Southern huls, under his father, had |)resented themselves for ser- vice to General Lee. Dudley ' s lieart filled with ] ride at the thought of men like Lee and Jackson and a long dormant hate against the North arose once more. It may seem strange to us, to whom the Civil War is a most ancient war. but consider Dudley ' s side, for to him its effects were real and j)ersonal. His father had been wounded at A])pomattox and was an invalid until his death. The first Dud- ley Fairfax had not been married until he was a middle-aged man and Dudley re- membered his father as an old gray-haired soldier who spoke with great bitterness against Federal Government and Flag. The Fairfaxes had suffered at the hands of the Northern army. Their home Fairfax had been demolished in Sherman ' s march through (ieorgia and Dudley ' s young mother had fought and endured bitter ])overty. To Dudley the North was the cause of this and in his mind even the present go ernment was in some way to blame for their hardshi])s. Now he was going to Gettysburg, and against his will. Through all his father ' .s tirades against the North the love of his Alma Slater had never died out and his one wish was to have Dudley go to Gettysburg Finally luader his mother ' s in- fluence, a Northern woman at heart, Dudley had, by tutorinu ' , prepared to enter- the Sophomore class. The train stopped with a jerk and Dudley came out of his diy dream. Gath- ering his bags he got off the car with several boys wearing the blue and orange. College men, he presumed and stejjping up to one said, Can you show me the way to the College, suh. Sure thing, grinned the boy, just come with me. Freshie? His voice expressed a question. No, Soph. I have tutored through the freshman year. Well now. Fm a soph, too. My name is McAllister, Tom McAllister. By George, ejaculated Dudley, Did your fathah-er- I mean was he at the head of the Northern men that left college when the Ci il War broke outy W ' hy — er yes, I guess so; what of it. WVll, you see, I am Dudley Fairfax and my father — Oh yes, I know. Sure dad often told me of that Red rooming with him. My fathah. snapjied Dudley, svas a Southernah. - 69 — Whew! Pepjjer! Your head ' s not rerl for notliini; ' is it? ' Say Travers. he added, turning to a hoy at his side, this is Dudley Fairfax alias Pepper and the newest addition to the So|)hs. Pejjper, this is Travers our foothall hero, the only living — Shut up, growled Travers, Glad to meet you Fairfax. It ' s a good hazing you missed by being a Soph. I ' m mighty glad — began Dudley but Tom broke in with Say, fellows, come to my room tonight and then we ' ll rush some Freshies. Gee, I hope my room- mate ' s not a nut. Here ' s the college, boomed Traxers, then tiUMiing to the other groups he yelled, Give a yell for (iettysburg, the Mighty Might, all together — and their voices split the air with [Jracky corax corix coree Bracky corax corix coree HiiUa Bello Bilee billah GettyslinrgI (jettysl)urgl Rah! Rah! Rah! After registration and assignments, Dinlley wandered in search of his room. Gettyslnn-g was peaceful and calm, while the old white Dorm gave no hint of all it had seen in days gone l)y. Strangely enough Dudley half expected to see soldiers in gray and blue. As he turned down one corridor he was tripi)ed and fell sprawl- ing on the floor. Two husky boys leaned against the wall laughing with all their might. Dudley jumped up, his fists clenched and eyes snapping, ANlio did that !■ ' Exidently yon did from the noise, replied one, then laughed again. ho triii]}ed me? reiterated Dudley. a — ow Freshy -alni down. This is the way — I ' m no Freshy, I ' m a So|)homore. But I pity the Fresliman if this is the kind of a welcome you all give ' em. .V Soph said the first sijeaker ruefully rubbing his chin. IJctter wear a ticket. I ' m a Soph too. No hard feeling I hope? I ' m Dutch Keller and this is Heiny Hines. (ilad to meet you. I ' m Dudley Fairfax: of cf)urse there ' s no hard feelin. ' Can you — all show me the way to room one, suh? First room down the hall, this side, was the rejjly. So long and Dudley ' hurried to his room. He knocked, but upon receiving no answer, entered the room, which was large and light. He had liegini to put his things away when a voice shouted. Hey: What are you doing in my drawers? (iet out. Wheeling about, Dudley faced Tom Mc.Vllister. By jove! cried Tom. Are you my roonunatc? Well of all luck. This was Dad ' s room too. But say, he hurried on, clean up quick, cause the boys are comin ' in tonight and we ' re going to rush some tender greenhorns. Tra — la. That same rush Dudley never forgot. About twenty Sophomores crejjt silent- ly out of the Dorm. .V i)arty of unsuspecting Freshmen were surveying the campus by moonlight. At a given signal the Sophs rushed at them, bearing them to the — 70 - earth. From the scuffle that ensued came tlie cry Freshmen all out and from the Dorm came a horde of l)oys. Then the rush henaii in earnest. The Sophs ioi-minij ' a .stonewall line and Ihe Frcsjnncn a( tem|)[iiif to break il wilh cdi;c-like di-i t ' s. When the upper classmen appeared on the scene, they decreed tiiat each Soj)!! should wrestle his man. 1 )iidlcy found himself up against a tall Sweilc. He wrest- le(i and struggled finally tlirowini; ' his opponent lint the Swede was so I all that Dud- ley could not manage his head when he was keeping his feet down. l last the rush was over, so with a victorious yell the Sophs departed to the Dorm. A few weeks latei ' . w luMi (ieltyshurg was (juiclly following the regular routine, Prexy addressed the boys in t ' hapel. His subject was Military Training a( Gettysburg. Few. he said could go to IMatts] urg or any other training camp, but all needed a soldier ' s discipline. ' I ' licrefore the l ' ii-ulty defided that if the boys wished, they would introduce Military Training at Gettysburg. Those in f.i (ir of this were to meet Coach (Jrcgg at . ' !:1.) on the gridiron. ( )f course, the nt ' w plan formed the subject of the day ' s coincrsal ion and pr.ic- tieally all favored the plan. Dutch Keller, Henry Hines and l )udley were among the few who o])posed.

The aim of each class was to iicrmanently i their colors ami numei ' als in some prom- inent ])lace ami prevent their rivals from putting up thi ' ir color.s by nine-thirty on the e ening of Color Day. The Sophs had two cojumittees. one to put up tlu ' ir colors the other to kee]) the Freshmen from succeeding. Dutch and Dudley formed the first committee. The committee kept their plans secret.

(■ ' ll meet yon on the st( ps at nine-thirty. So long. and the meeting broke uj). . bout nine o ' clock, putting the class colors under his old jersey, Dudlc ' stepjicd — 71 — out into the corridor. Silently he crept up the ste] s with his skeleton key unlocked the door which opened at the circular steps leading to the eupohi. lie climbed un- til he reached the cupola. Clo e at hand was the old bell he was to rinn when his tusk was done, and there was the slender ladder ending in a trap door that opened oil the u])ola roof. Dudle - clind)ed the ladder, jHished open the door and stood on tlic roof of the old Dorm cuiiohi. iU ' low him lay the town, beyond it the moonlit battlegrt)unds. ' IMie night was clear, the pale moonlight made it seem like day and far off on the surrounding bat- tleiields lay the tents of the encampment. Thou.sands of tents, white in the moon- light. Above him floated the flag, those glorious, wind-tossed colors. . .s he stood there enchanted with the beauty of the Tiight, the old flag was blown against him, it ' s brave folds wrapped about him. ) er there stretched the tents of the men who were to fight for this flag; who were to carry the freedom of this flag to foreign shores who were to die for this flag that enfolded him. .Vnd out of the night was born the lo ' e of his . ' -onutry, effacing the bitterness of old, so turning, Dudley saluted his flag. Slowly he clind)ed tlown, the task forgotten until he met Keller and Hines. right P ([ueried Keller. Couldn ' t do it rejdied Dudley and before Keller could respond the clock struck the half-hour and on the dome of the o ' )servatory glistened a large ?!. riie next afternoon an old general who had seen hard service s|)oke to the boys.

Tlic father was a tall, fine-looking, middle-af ed Beluian. The mother was small and dark. She seemed to he more French than Hclgian. Then there was the eighteiMi-ycar-old son Henri and the yonnt;t ' st girl. Use. Use was IwcK ' e and ( ' ry allracti e. She had lai ' k i; psy-likc feature with hlack cnrlx ' hair falling to her shoulders. She wore a short full skirl with a Mack el ' et. laced hodice and wooden shoes, although she mostly went hai-efool cd. Use was the life of t he illage and a pet of all w ho knew her. iv . t heir St . Hcrnai ' d dog, was one of lu ' r j)ets which consisted in liirds, rahhits and kittens. In the morning Henri would dri c the two wheeled carl lo Ihc ' illag ' with the two shining milk huckets. These were drawn liy Ben - Use lo ' d to a ' company them. She knew every customer and cliatte(l with each. Then the invaders came and Uses father and li|-olhcr left wilh Ihc oilier aMc men of the illage to drive them oul and defend I heir hoi ' diT. W ' lial sori ' ow and ex- citement this hronght to the (|iiiet village! hat right had those jjcople to plunder their villages, tramp across their country and disturh their jicacefnl li ' es ' - ' They hadn ' t done anything to them. In FacI tlic hadn ' t cxcn |)aid an ' atl ' nlion lo tliem. But tlu ' sc (piestions were nnansweralile. The only thing to do was to send their sons and fathers to drive them out and this they gladly did. It was Spring and the crops had lo lie sowed, th ' ' fields plowcil, ami g.ii ' dens started so that they would not slar c. This the men left hehind them to he done, but the women gladly took it w]) and conse(piently worked there almost ' onstantly. All this time Use and her motlici ' li ed lonely and sad in their little cottage. All day long her mother worked in the fields while Use took the household duties. In the evening they would sit together and Use would labor to learn to knit on a fool- stool at her mother ' s feet. Then they would dream of peace with father and brother back and their life as quiet and peaceful as before. The perl ' eil stitches in the socks for Henri which Use knitted were made when she thought of his dmfort, and the hardshi])s of tramping and standing in trenches. The nn ' en ones were made when she thought of the cruelty of the imadcrs to call her brother away. On such occasions, great tears dropped on the work in her fingers One pretty day Use prejjared the lunch, jjicked up her knitting and sal down on the doorstep lo wait for her mother ' s return fr(vm the fields. Sudilenly she heard shouting and crying coming from the direction of the village. She i-aii lo ihc c -enter - 77 — of llic road and shading her eyes looked lo vn over the hill. There she saw a nioh of women and children appraoching. What did it mean? Then she saw the sun- light flash on the steel helmets of the (ierman and knew then they were being driven on t . Use ' s first thought was of her mother — she had not yet returned and where miglil slie he. , f1er running around tlu ' house several times calling across the fields Use ran on I of I lie front gate and met I lie firs I of I lie mo! i. It was one of their milk customers with her aged father. Use offered ihe old man her arm and hurried on with them not knowing what else to do.

Miss Bright has had charge of the Art deiJartineut of our schools during the past year and has also organized a drawing class in the High School. The editors of this year- book wish to say that they are greatly indebted to Miss Bright for much aluable work and criticism. 82 THE JUNIOR MASQUERADE DAxNCE. The first social att ' air ul ' the Hi Ii Scliool was a jolly Hallowe ' en inas((uerade given by the Juniors on October ' ■25. Dancing was the chief means of entertain- ment, while, during the intermission, fortune-telling and a Chamber of Horrors, which was much frequented by the ladies, furnished amusement. Decorations and refreshments were in keeping with the season. THE SENIOR MASQUERADE DANCE. The Senior class held a very delightful masquerade dance at Schuler ' s academy October 2(5. The spirit of the time was carried out in the patriotic music and among the masked dancers many of our Allies were represented. For the sake of conser- vation of food no refreshments were served. — 83 - THE M. H. S. DANCE. L ndoul)teclly the greatest soeial success j I. H. S. has ever scored was attained at the High School Dance held December 16, at the Masonic Temple. Too much praise cannot be given Mrs. Wagner, jMr. Ward and Mr. I ' atton — the Faculty committee who shouldered the responsibilities. The hall was filled to overflowing with more than two Iiundrerl young peo])le and there was not a dull moment the entire evening. The good times started with the grand march, led l)y rejiresentatives from each class, and lasted until the home waltz which every one greeted with dismay. There was hardly a dance that did not contain some stunt; among these were the balloon dance, the snowball fight, the ser])entine waltz and an old fashioned Mrginia Reel. Those who could not dance when they came went home ha])py in the knowledge that they could at least two-stej) and waltz. The proceeds of this party were given to the Athletic Associa- tion. THE SENIOR-JUNIOR DANCE. Although the weather was inclement and the finances were low, all those who attended the Senior-Junior dance at Schuler ' s Academy on the evening of Feb. 8, had an extremely good time. A comparatively small i)ercentage of each class was there anil after the Grand March the formal dance was changed to an informal i)arty. A program of twenty dances, a gooil orchestra and an uncrowded floor made the event a great social suc- cess. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The Junior-Senior reception, always one of the most delightful affairs of the school year, was held at the High School building, Ai)ril 0. ' J ' he first part of the evening was spent in the auditorium where a very clever playlet The Fortune Hunter ' was staged, assisted by the M. H. S. orchestra. After the i)lay, a grand march brought the young ])eo])le to the second floor which had Ijeen transformed, with s])ring blossoms and wicker furniture, into a scene typical of a beautiful gar- den. Here dainty jjrograms for the progressive conversation were given out. Some of the sulijects were f[uite ludicrous and proved a merry diversion making the hour one of charming informality.

As a good-natured fellow and a hard worker, he soon won tlie friendship of all tlie teams and the respect of the whole school. To him we owe the desire for clean sportsmanship which he instilled into the High School. Mr. Patton left us for an Eastern school in February, 1918. With him go our best wishes for success, for he has won a warm spot in the hearts of ail loyal M. H. S. students. F. M. FOSTER. With the coming of Mr. Foster to take charge of our Athletics our prospects in this school activity were by no means diminished. ' Sir. Foster comes from Ohio W ' esleyan I niversity and from Univer sity of Illinois School for Ahtletic Coaches with his coaching aljility already recognized. Our best wishes for a big Success and our hats off — to Coach Foster. — 86 — ■T. ■- r. c f. ■ ' I. ii Foot Ball Considered Ironi the view of games won, our football season was rather ilis- asti ' ons. Owing to difficulties encountered with raw, inexperienced players and numerous injuries. Mis (s) Fortune was our lot. However, our bad luck was not due to low aim. But it may also be considered a Success in that it gave the play- ers a higher conception of clean s])ort and that they won the respect of their opi)on- ents bv their determination to fight to the last ditch. THE WEARERS OF THE M. Angle, Cai)t. Sotherland Watts Herr Brnnk Carmine Snyder Camj bell Bricker Padgett Pealer Imhoff Lee Schafer Callahan THE PLAYERS CAPT. ANGLE ' 18. Heavy has j layed a fine game at tackle. Time after time he would smash tlu ' ougli the line and down a player in his tracks. He was just as strong on offense. Heavy will surely be missed next year. HERMAN BRUNK ' 18 Brunkie played on the line and with his size was able to hold most everything that came his way. We are sorry he has |)layed his last game for Mansfiehl High. GEORGE BRICKER ' 18 Tliis was George ' s first year on the team and he certainly made a name for himself. He could always be depended upon for loyal support. FRANK LEE ' 18. Frank was a hard player and always in the thick of the fight. Although slight- ly liandicap])ed witli his sight he sure made up tV)r it with nerve. PAUL SOTHERLAND ' 19 Cy played center this year and filled that position very satisfactorily. A very plucky and gritty ])layer and always in the game. He will be at it again next year. IVAN CARMINE ' 20. Ivan was one of the hea ' iest fellows on the team and could always be depend- ed upon for his share. Illllllilllllllllilllllllllllllll llllillllillll llllilill ROBERT CAMPBELL 18 Bunny is one ul ' our liciivit ' st men. Good at lossint; ' the pill and punt- ing. FRANK IMHOFF ' 18. Fnuny va.s one of our fastest players and was a dangerous man in an open Held. He is a sure tackier and good on receiving forward passes. ROBERT PADGETT ' 21. Bob is only a Frcslimau hut he certainly did his part. Willi three more years of playing he should prove a star. KARL SCHAFER ' 18. Germany was one of our licst line men. .Vll hough it washis first year lie made a fine ivcord. PAUL WATTS ' 20. Wappy has played for two years. He hlh ' ii liis position at end and liked to catch forward passes. We are glad he still has two more years. HAROLD SNYDER ' 21. Ikey is only a Freshmau hut has pro ed a very aliuililc player. He has three more years to play and c should hear liig things of Ikey. ARTHUR PEALER 18. This was Art ' s second year on the team. He could always be de])ended on for a coujile yards on a line buck, and was famous for his jjasses and limits. ARTHUR CALLAHAN ' 18. Callie was one of the smallest players on the team but was there with the goods just the same. HOWARD HERR 19. She has ])layed for two years and is a very ner y player — in the game at all times.

Owing to the fact that they were unable to practice every afternoon after school it was necessary for them to practice before school a coui)!e mornings each week. WEARERS OF THE M. ( )ss Sothcrlaiid Snyder Schafer Nail Schuler THE PLAYERS PAUL SOTHERLAND ' 19 Cy was captain of the team this year and alsn |ilaycd guard and i-ertaiidy played it in every sense of the w ird. Tiiere were few games but what ' y donat- ed three or four l)askets. JOHN COSS ' 20. Cos.sy played center this year and tilled that jiosit ion with the greatest ability. He excelled in shooting baskets esjjecially long ones and seldom missed a short one. AVe are very glad Coss will be with us two years yet. HAROLD SNYDER ' 21. This was Ike ' s first year with the basket-ball team and he sin-e has done his share in making the team a success. He is strong on defense, and possesses a great deal of nerve. CHARLES NAIL ' 20.

The lengthening of the ])eriods. in order to make up lost time, resulted in taking away the usual twenty-minute report ])eriod. As the four classes of H. S. students were accustomed to take their musical instructions at this time, chorus singing was discontinued about the middle of the year. The orchestra, although we did not hear it often, yet made us wish for more. Under the direction of Mr. Parry good material was develo])ed ;uid our High School may well be proud of this organization. As the full orchestra is not in the picture the members are here given. Frank Lee, Cecil Banks, Donovan Min ' ray, Charles Sword, Herbert Schettler, Lewis Cashell, Robert Ackerman, Merle Hammett. Edward (iibson, Paul Randall, Raymond Kline, Wilbur Wiernian, ILirold Mc A icar, Lowell Beard, Arden Branson, Russell Ackerman, Katherine Thomas, AnnaMayer, Lydia Aughey, Ruth Duffey, Chester Cole, Joe Workman and Walter Teeters. Eight High School students, Cecil Banks, Raymond Kline, Cecil Graham, Wil- bur Wierman, Merle Hammett, Haro ld McVicar. Paul Randall and Walter I ' eeters this year composed the band. Although not nmch time was taken for practicing yet they rendered appreciable service on various occasions, especially in the M. H. S. parade, April 18. Mi.ss Pauline Scott ' 18 served as pianist in Chajiel and other general auditor- ium assemblies. She ably filled her position and much credit is due her. — 95 — MR.
