I Q SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1922, thirty-six chose to board the train of education and make a four- year journey to gain a high school education. The first year of the course was very tiresome, for we were a bunch ot self-made kids, fearing that we might do something wrong. The assembly was certainly a new place for we stood with our mouths gaped open ready to hear or see everything that took place, By the encouraging words of our faculty, Mr. Totten, Miss James, Miss Custer, and Mr. VVilliam,s, we held up our heads, used our will-power and traveled through the valleys, The class, subject to disappointments, had to make a stop, for Miss Custer was un- able to be with us the entire term, and gave her place to Miss Van Petten. As our new teacher was only a substitute, we made another stop in order to receive Miss Flannigan. XVe did not gain so much knowledge as experience: but finally arrived safely at our first stop. Then began the second year of our journey with the number somewhat decreased. The faculty this year were: our same old engineer, Mr. Totten, Mr. Williams, Mrs. Olson, Miss Sampson, and Miss Blakely. Soon Miss Sampson entered upon the sea of matrimony and Miss Mahoney was ready to take her place. This course seemed as though the Sophomores were never able to have any parties but, near the close of school, Mrs. Olson, our sponsor, decided we would have a hike and weiner roast. Well, we thought that was one of the most enjoyable happen- ings that ever took place. When the gang returned to school, we felt proud indeed to hear other classnien say, Wonder where the Sophomores have been? As we were gaining on our journey to education, we stopped for the second time for rest. ln 1924 the third division of the journey was started with thirteen old members, and to our surprise, a new one, Fred Rector iBushD hailed from California to help us. At the end of the first semester the call for recreation over came Florence Justice, so therefore making our number a lucky thirteen. We took the name of Jolly Juniors and tried very hard to live up to our emblem, HJ. J. This is a year to be remembered for no rugged rocks had we to climb. Our officials were Mr. Nuzum, who was ever ready to lend a helping hand, Miss Duncan, to whom we all looked forward to for information in our subjects, Miss Hiatt, who nearly lost her patience but, was always jollyg Mr. Arbuckle, the boys' man, also our sponsorg and Mrs. McCarty, who we all looked forward to for opening exercises. The kitchen was turned into a hospital and the Junior girls studied home nursing with Miss Duncan. We gained much knowledge from the course and hope some day We may make use of it. The Junior boys took a course called animal husbandry under Mr. Arbuckle's in- structions. Here they took special care in preparing hot beds and talking of minor discussions. Always having the desire to have a bob-sled party and many times planned for one, but the weather was always unfavorable. At last we thought the time had come, but to add to former disappointments, when we all gathered at town, the horses had strayed to some mysterious place. So we went to Josephine Ebbertt's in automobiles instead. 1926 ve' nf' 'ff Q ' J , 0 The class enjoyed another party at Wilma White's. VVe girls enjoyed ourselves most for the boys had to turn the ice cream freezer. Longing for excitement, the thirteen were seen strolling into the dear old assem- bly one spring morning, the girls wearing hair ribbons and the boys knee trousers. One more incident we shall linger over the fond memories is the birthday luncheon the class gave for Miss Duncan. Mr. Arbuckle and the janitor were chief entertainers. It being our hobby to spring surprises on other classmen, we marched into the as- sembly looking like our forefathers and mothers. lt being what we termed as 'told clothes day. A bunch of uuncivilized kids was what somebody classed us. During the month of April we could look far ahead and see a rugged hill standing in our pathway waiting for us to climb it. This being the Junior-Senior reception. At last the summit of the hill was reached with many hardships and the occasion was a success. During the year we gave our time and help to see the high school Vande- vi1le and the play, Once In a Blue Moon, a hit. On the 18th of April, as the brakeman applied the brakes to the huge locomotive, we regretted to see such a year over. 'Then we made a final stop to prepare for the last lap of our journey. Just a little remembrance to one of our fellow travelers, who stood by us all three years of the journey. VVe sadly parted with Helen Justice, who was called to the nearby town of Anderson. She will ever be remembered by the Class of 1926, for her faithful- ness and honor to her class. On the last day of August, 1925, the Juniors had to give up the name we loved so well and take up the name of Seniors. Again we thought of our motto, Climb though the rocks be rugged, for the crew was weary with three years of hard travel. We were growing older and seemed to lay aside some of our prankish jokes, for we had work before us. This year we had parties at Josephine Ebbertt's, Wilma White's, and Myron Haynes'. Also a few Seniors slipped into some of the other classmen's affairs. Two interesting events that took place were the High School Vaudevil1e under the auspices of the Senior class and our class play. Our boys this year were unusually active in basketball. Bush, Ben, Raw, Ralph, and Mus representing the class. We also have some good students that like to talk and have their fun. Considering us as a whole, we think the daily dozen is a honorable bunch. Let's let Mr. Noland comment on that. Many hardships with great handicaps had to be overtaken as the wave of life roar- ed on. By the encouraging and sympathetic words of Mr. Noland, the daily smile of Mr. Ewing, the everlasting patience of Miss Williams, and the cherry voice of Mrs. McCarty, the twelve finally passed over the rugged rocks. As we approach the end of our Senior year at dear old M. H. S., a feeling of sadness overcomes us. We just began to realize that the happiest days of our lives are drawing to a close, Thus we find ourselves stepping from the train, which took us on our journey to gain a high school education, out into the world. 1926 .tm :Pg f vang?-0' . aw-W -'QQ we , Y CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1926, of the High School of Markleville, Madison County, Adams Township, Ind., being thus far advanced, and have withstood the trials and tribu- lations in our light to master the entire curriculum as we have so nobly done, after four years of travel on the highway to education, to reach our determined goal under the guid- ance of our ever-patient faculty, and are now ready to claim as ours the scroll which can be compared to the pay check of a faithful wage earner, better known as the High School Diploma, and after receipt of this we are ready to set sail upon a life-long sea of business, do hereby compile, publish and assert this to be our last will and testament.

' V - 1 ii I , r CLASS PROPHECY It had just been twenty years since the Class of '26 graduated from dear old M. H. S. How everything had changed in that single score of years. The schoolhouse now covers an entire block. The town of Markleville has grown to a population of two thousand people due to four large factories established. Beautiful were the large stone buildings towering above the street. VVhere the class of '26 had drifted I knew not, for to me it had drifted seemingly as seeds in the wind. I had pondered many hours wondering where all of the other eleven studious classmates had gone. God only knew, I didn't. At last a happy thought came to me. It was none other than to take a tour with the hopes of at least seeing some of them. It was the twentieth day of July when I set out on this rather doubtful trip. Leaving Markleville, my first stopping point was Chicago, Illinois. Upon arriving there my first task was to find a hotel for my short stay. I inquired of an elderly gentlemanlas to where to find the best hotel. He directed me to an eighteen-story structure, advising me that it was the best hotel in town. I walked on down the street to where the gentleman directed me. As I approached the front I saw in large letters, Ralph A. Williams Hotel. My interest was at once aroused, for I wondered if the Ralph Vvilliams I knew was the owner of this fine hotel. I entered the marble hallway, here I found an elevator and was taken to the floor on which the owner's office was located. As I entered the office, I saw sitting at the desk a tall, handsome gentleman. As he lifted his head with a welcoming smile, I soon saw it was my old friend, Ralph Williams. He had grown in height, but had lost those large freckles, being away from the sunshine, but still had the .same jolly ways and a smile as always. VVe had quite a long talk, after which he showed me my room which I was more than glad to see after my long ride on the train. The next morning I awoke refreshed and decided to master some of the sites of the city. I walked several blocks when I was suddenly attracted by a large poster on which was the following announcement: Caxton Theater. Professor Ralph Blake, lecturing on My Experience as a Foreign Missionary. Everyone invitedg 2:30 P. M. After seeing this announcement, I walked about the town until the hour of 2:30 was near at hand, then I soon found the Caxton Theater and secured a comfortable seat. The speaker of the afternoon was none other than the Ralph Blake I knew back in Markleville twenty years ago, After the lecture I talked with him quite a while. He told me more about the missionary work and how well he was pleased with it. By this time it was getting late in the evening, so l went to the Brookshire Cafe where I got my supper. After supper I decided to spend the evening at a show. I left the restaurant, walked down the street to the Beaumont Theater, purchased my ticket and found my seat. One attraction of the evening was The Dancing Maid of The Hoosier State, who I soon saw was Wilma VVhite. She hadn't forgot the Charleston which was becom- ing to be popular when the Class of '26 graduated. As she tripped lightly upon the stage the canarys in their cages upon the wall even commenced to do the Charleston. Another evening attraction was some very fine singing by Mme. Katy Petrovia. With eager ears I listened to the soprano solos rendered, the reason of which was that this great singer was none other than Kathleen Moneyhun. She now has a secretary and treasurer of her own, instead of acting as one as she did for the Class of '26. The next morning being Sunday morning, I decided to go to church so I started out and the first church I came to was the First Methodist Church of Chicago. I went in- side, took my seat and waited patiently for the service to commence. It was not long until a tall, slim, thoughtful minister stepped forth to the Bible stand and delivered his morning sermon, the text of which was: Thou Shalt Not Steal. It was a very good sermon indeed, for the minister was none other than Fred Rector. All during the ser- mon I noticed something bore heavily upon his mind. After the sermon we had a long talk, and he gave me one of his cards on which I read: Rev, Fred Rector, President of the Illinois Swine Raiisers Association, Pastor of the First Methodist Church of Chicago. By this I knew he had taken up the ministry and swine raising both, which we all knew he was interested in when in school. I then asked him what bore on his mind during the sermon. To which he replied: I was just wondering about the black hog I had to suffocate in the straw pile disaster in the woods north of town last night. We then went to his home where we enjoyed a fine Sabbath day dinner. I returned in the afternoon to my hotel room. I decided to leave on the morrow for 1, y -Q1 if I 1 the town of Lockwell, North Dakota. I packed my belongings so as to be in readiness for the journey. The next morning I awoke feeling like a young man. I boarded the 5:30 train and after a few hours travel I landed in Lockwell, a town of about 15,000 population, located in the heart of a large farming district. The first thing I noticed when I got off the car was a large sign on a telegraph pole on which was stated: Flint County Fair, July 26-31, at Lockwell, 'the farmer's city'. This being the 26th, of course I was just in luck. After getting my breakfast, I started out on the hard day's walk that always goes with a fair. Everything of the fair nature was to be seen from the Palm Reader to the Motorcycle Hippodrome, but of all the attractions, the live stock and poultry exhibits were the best. All the time I was seeing the :sites I still had in mind to keep a watch for any member of the Class fo '26 that might be present. After seeing all the outside attractions and the live stock, the poultry exhibition was the last thing to go to see. As I walked through the pavillion I was soon attracted by an exhibit of about fifteen coops of White Plymouth Rock chickens which seemed to have about all the prize ribbons going. I viewed these remarkable fowls very closely as I passed along. As I came to the end of the row, whom should I see sitting there on a camp chair but Bennie Stinson. He told me that these White Plymouth Rock chickens were a few of a flock of tive- hun- dred chickens he now owned. He also explained to me how he had opened the lock to Success in the poultry business soon after he graduated from M. H. S. I then well re- membered that he had the Golden Key to the lock when we were studying Animal Hus- bandry in High School, After leaving the poultry building, it then being 5:45, I went back to tihe hotel where I ate my supper and rested about an hour and a half in order to be ready for the night session at the Coliseum. I left the hotel at 7:30 prompt, and in fifteen minutes I was comfortably seated in the Coliseum. The main feature of the evening was a lecture on Why We Should Get An Education, by Miss Mabel Padgett, Dean of Women at the University of Illinois. I soon saw it was the same Mable Padgett that was a member of the Class of '26, After the lecture and while I was still sitting there watching the livestock parade through the Coliseum, a lady of the old maid type came in and seated herself beside me. We soon commenced conversing as old friends and we soon found out that we really were, for it was Josephine Ebbertt. She told me that she had lost all trace of our dear class members but three, Mae, Helen, and Myron, and related the following concerning them: Myron Hayes, whom we knew better as 'Muss, is now one of the best dentists in the State of Indiana, located at Pinhook. The last time I saw him he had just given a man's grinders the twice over with gold, enamel, and the forceps, and I overheard him say his bill was 375.00 I guess Myron took up this occupation as his life work in order to help people have correctly shaped teeth without wearing the braces as he once did. Mae Dehart, whom we better knew as Red married the good looking Mr. l- after ten long years of successful courtship. They are now located at Peoria, Ill., where Mr. --1 is the chief electrician in the City Garage. VVl1en I last Qvisited them the red headed little - were four in number, making things merry for their happy parents. Helen Norris, after a disappointment in a love affair declared she was through with matrimony and established a beauty parlor at Detroit, Mich., where I am going some of these days to get the wrinkles removed. As for myself, after graduating from M. H. S., I attended Butler College where I graduated in 1930. After breaking my engagement with the Pendleton young farmer lad, I resolved to settle down and live a life worth while. I am now an old maid school teacher, have a well furnished room, large rocking chair, a lamp that smokes, a cat that meows, a parrot that swears and a dog that growls, so I don't see where I would have any use for a husband. After she had finished her story, I related the following about myself: After graduating from M. H. S., I took a four-year course and graduated from the Case School of Applied Science as a first degree Electrical Engineer, This proved to be very interesting Work. Three years after I took up this occupation, I married, my wife of course needs no introduction, and we now own a nice home near Muncie, this being about the center of where my work is located. After bidding Josephine good night, I returned to the hotel, packed my belongings and the next morning boarded the train for home with the thought in mind that my vacation had been well spent without the least doubt.

S. in the fall of 1923, our class being composed of twenty-three members from Markleville and vicinity. The time came when we wished to do as other classes did, so we began by electing otiicers. We chose George Collier for our iirst president, Helen Lewis for vice-presi- dent, and Esther Lewis for secretary and treasurer. Our first party was held at the home of Helen Lewis in honor of Lillian and Lavon Huddleston. Later, the upper classmen gave in our honor a masquerade party at the gymnasium, which was a hilarious affair. The next fall when we came back to school, some of the old familiar faces were missing. We lost Arthur Petty and Leslie Needler, who are missed greatly. We also lost Hazel McCune who was interested in other things, namely, a husband and a home! It was during this year that we realized we had a standard to make and uphold. To help us reach our aim a new member joined us, namely, Ira Marsh, who was a jolly good fellow and furnished us plenty of fun. Many parties were enjoyed during the year at the home of Helen Lewis and George Early. ' This year we came back only fifteen strong, have lost seven industrious members. We miss them all and especially our jolly member, Helen Garris, who has been ill for some time. We have not been able to have many parties this year but there is one we will always remember and that is the surprise they gave for George Earley, sponsored by Miss WVilliams. The teachers adore us for they say we have learned to be students. They say we are energetic and industrious! ! ! ! 7 7 ? '? We also have a few members, both boys and girls who have shown great skill in basketball. Plans are being made for the Junior-Senior reception to be given some time in April. Our officers this year are: Luanne Justice, presidentg Esther Lewis, vice-presidentg Enid Rosinfeld, secretary, and Helen Lewis, treasurer. Flower-Sweet Pea. Colors-Turquoise blue and silver grey.

We were taunted a great deal about our greenness, but we survived with Miss Hiatt as our sponsor, to guide us. Our class officials were: President, Ethel Adamsg vice-president, Chester Bakerg secretary-treasurer, Herman Hankins. Our Freshman year was very successful. Upon entering our Sophomore year we were unfortunate in losing six of our classa mates, but we gained three others, Leonard Markle, Florence Lovett and Glen Ebbert. This year we are represented in the school activities. And we are preparing ourselves for greater things as we go along the path, which we hope holds much success for us all.

They drove By The Light of The Stars Down By The Old Mill Stream. Turn- ing to his Sleepy Time Gal and seeing a shade of sadness in her 'tWonderful Eyes, Red Hot Henry Brown took her in his arms, saying: Brown Eyes, Why Are You Blue On a Night Like This? Can't you ,see I Love You Truly. I'm Tired of Everything But You and No One Else Will Do. Love Me and The World Is Mine. We will get married and live in my Dixie Bungalow, 'KWhat Could Be Sweeter? Please don't say No, or I will be Mighty Blue. Rose Marie put her arms around him and said, I Want To Go Where You Go, Do What You Do, Then I'll Be Happy. Henry gave her A Kiss In The Dark, and she said: Kiss Me Again, My Dream Daddy. He kissed her again, thinking Oh, Boy What A Girl. Don't Wake Me Up, Let Me Dream, and they sat there Dreaming of the future, After a moment of silence, Rose Marie, said: Hum A Little Tune, old dear. Rose Marie, he replied, 'Tm Setting On Top Of The World and hummed, Every- thing Is Hotsy Totsy Now.

The birds on the trees are starting to grow, While other changes constantly come and gog Springtime, what great changes thou bestow! The swelled brooks are bubbling as onward they flow, Just as they did a hundred Years ago, The small dandelion starts up anew, Julst as the leaves on the giant oak, from a tiny acorn grew What great lessons thou before us lay, We wish that thou should always stay, And never go away. The birds have returned to their native home, For all the long winter they have ceased not to roam, Their joyous songs they have ceased not to sing, And across meadow and woodland their happy voices ring, They are casting out rapture far and near To tell every .creature that Springtime is here, Springtime, ye are the happiest time of year!

There wa.sn't much school the first week, Every evening the boys hunted up the creek, But the following weeks, things weren't the same, And school was not so slow and tame. 'Tis getting near the end of the month, said Miss Haines, And by this time, you should be using your brains. We got our report cards as our names she did call, And Oh my! Miss Haines said, baseball was the cause of it all. Before we realized it, we had a basketball team, And Oh how good it did seem To go to the games at night, And see our team put up a stiff fight, We had a Christmas program one- afternoon, And all knew Santa would be here soon, Then we had a holiday of a week, And some of the pupils tried skating on the creek. The Farmers' Institute was the 11ext We had, And all the school children were glad, Because all we had to do was sing And perhaps, get a prize on something. In the spring we took a hike, And wandered where we liked, And if given a chance we lagged behind, To see what we could find. And then the county exam, was not far off, And you know it wasn't a bit soft, And we had to study so hard, That it seemed our brains were nothing but lard. And after that school will be closed, And then I reckon the weeds must be hoedg And all through the day plow the corn, And in the evening do the work at the barn.

For four short years we've worked together thro' joys and fears To reach that goal, which brings us fame, For honors in a. higher plain. Here's to Ben, who's always polite, Teasing girls is his sole delight. Oh, yes! Raw, the one that is quiet, Just suppose he had to diet. There comes mischevious, redeheaded Mae, Doesn't like work, would rather play, Hello, Steve, with your smiles and curlsg He's never seen flirting with girls-fnitlj Here's to Katy with smiling ways, A smile an a nod always pays. Where is Bush with his stay-comb hair? Just must have his feet on a chair-iEnglish classy Over there's Norsey writing notes, Thinking always of riding on boats: And Rufus, who is liked by all Shows his skill playing basketball. And there's Mabel who works so well, But always listens for the bell. Here's to Rat, also known as Mus, Must have his fun or he might bust. Hurry up, for here comes Jo, The one that pulls your hair, you know! VVhat did you say? Where has Wilma been? Just practicing the Charleston again. Do be quiet, for lands sakes, Pete! For that's nothing to have big feet. Fond memories of you, dear class, With your joys and pleasures pastg In years to come, we'll think of you, Dear ones, and only feel mighty blue.

He had no wife and children, so from morning to night he labored in the orchards. Finally, after several years the good man became tired of living aloneg so he set out in search of a companion. Soon after, as he was walking along the foot of a mountain, he saw a bear which had looks that seemed to be gentle and kind instead of savage and ferocious. This bear was also tired of living alone and was also out hunting for a friend. As soon as the old man and the bear saw each other they began to have a warm friendship for one another. After passing some compliments they decided to go live together, amd so they returned to the garden and orchard of the old man to live. At length the bond of friendship became very secureg insomuch that when the old man grew tired of work and would lie down for a nap, the bear, because of affection, would stay close by him to keep away the mosquitoes. One day as the old man lie down to sleep in the shade of a tree, and the bear stood by as usual to keep away the mosquitoes, it happened that one persisted in alighting upon the old man's face one time after another. The bear grew angry at the mosquito and picked up a stone to kill it. Upon letting it fiy, it is true he did, kill the mosquito, but at the same time. he knocked out some of the old man's teeth. Moral: It is better to have a prudent enemy than an ignorant friend. HAROLD KELLER. EDITORIALS A level head will not get you far unless you have an even temper to back it up. The man of science approaches every subject for investigation with as open a mind as he can present-an open, not an empty mind. In that open are certain fixed convic- tions. First of all, that we live in an orderly universe whose laws are ascertainable, and are never suspended. He regards reason as the tool with which he pries truth from under its shell. He insists upon evidence, and refuses to go beyond evidence as to fact. He is willing to use a hypothesis or a theory, but is ready to surrender each at the first challenge of a fact. He has a decided modesty in saying I know. It is reverence that rounds life out to the full circle of perfectiong reverence for selfg reverence for others, reverence for that which is above us. The reverential life is the only life that moves upward. Constellations attend its path, the stars light it by night, the sun by day. There is a shining something within, around, above to which admiration, aspiration, emulation attach themselves. Admiration goes out and the power that makes for growth comes in. We grow to the height and dimensions of what we reverence. If we fail to appreciate imperfect friends or chums, how can they appreciate us? WVe may be strong where they are weak, while they may only scorn the temptation which seems almost irresistible to us. If you think of the strong points of your friends and emulate them, very likely they will be profiting by your good points at the same time. ' Stand with a man that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong. QA. LJ The man who is worth while, never quits. Force is of no use to make or preserve a friend, --11926-'sl ' 4 '04 'I 1!l5:itl1Wf' - f1ri2'Qff. . -: - QQ- - Y -Q YOU'LL LIKE THIS Along with the worries of the high cost of living, the hot, dry weather and scarcity of satisfying liquids with which to combat that dryness, several highly intellectual Ol beings are now confronting us with evidence that we ascended or descended fwhich- ever you like bestl from monkeys, According to their dope, we have only in late years learned to walk on our hind legs, and they are trying to make us believe that our ancestors threw cocoanuts at passersby, a few years ago. None of us will deny that at one time or another we have made monkeys of ourselves, and at all big gatherings where food is served, the porcine quality in us crops ont, and occasionally we hear someone remark that someone else is a Jassack. But anyone who will stop, look, and think will not like the idea of a few old bachelors Cwho have been disappointedl, trying to make apes of all of us. We like to dwell on the thought that our early sires were gray-bearded old war- riors which nothing daunted, and, not a lot of chattering, long-tailed simians who swung from trees and made faces at the earth-bound animals. We believe that man was created first and when he started to act foolish, monkeys were created to show man what he resembled when he didn't behave. This is the reason that in front of a monkey cage in a zoo, you will find a crowd. They are unconsciously learning to act like humans. So whether or not we agree with NVm. J. Bryan on politics, or the kind of neck- wear he affects, we will agree with him when he says that the Bible teaches the right way to believe and that it has withstood and will always withstand all the assaults on its authenticity. PROMISE YOURSELF!- To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look on the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success ot others as you are your own. To forget mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and to have a smile ready for every living creature you meet. To give much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criti- cise others. To be too big for worry, too noble for anger and too strong for fear. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world-not in loud words but in great deeds, To live in faith that the world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you. If you cannot get enthusiastic about your work, you are not likely to make a suc- cess of it. No one accuses an under-handed person of being over-stocked with common sense. When a fellow gets the best of another fellow by trickery methods he gets the worst of himself. If tempted to take advantage of a fellow poorer in mentality or material things, remember the old Russian proverb, The knife which you sharpen on a poor man's hand may cut your own fingers.

Both the school and community are proud of the Boys and Girls' Glee Clubs and the excellent work they have done throughout the year. The Glee Clubs won fame in their singing in the Markleville Minstrels. Mrs, McCarty, who is very enthusiastic in all lines of Music is training a High School and Grade team for the Music Memory Contest. Great interest is being aroused for the school hopes to retain the silver cup they won last year in the county tourna- ment. Although the School Orchestra is new, the majority of its members being beginners, they are progressing nicely and are looking forward to great things in the future. Long live the music in the Markleville School! MUSIC. -1 1926 .. , , ' .1 l .,.Ag:g,gaiiLd-'-vsgiiiiw, 1' ' ' ' ah - 1 un D ' 2 A d!

We have two Special Art classes in High School this year. Both classes have done some very commendable work. The first semester consisted of work in water color, crayon, pastel, pencil and the making of posters. Prizes were awarded the best work at the Farmers Institute. The second semester was entirely taken up in Woodcrait. We made and designed book-ends, wall plaques, boxes, trays, etc. We enjoyed this work very much, because it was new and the things we made were very useful.

The Senior colors, yellow and white predomin- ated. The auditorium was decorated with an oriental effect with alcoves decorated with mellow lights, oriental rugs and pillows. At one end of the room with an archway lead- ing from it to the dining room was an American alcove furnished in Wicker. Around the entire auditorium, yellow and white crepe paper was draped with lavender wisteria intertwined. Eight small tables were decorated in yellow and white, served by eight girls in the yellow and white Chinese costumes. Misses Constance and Virginia Lewis, furnished music during the evening. Another feature of the evening was the rose wagon drawn by Miss Constance Lewis and accompanied by two pages, all dressed in oriental fashion. From the wagon came little Miss Wanda Collier dressed as a yellow rose with an armful of yellow daffodils which she distributed among the guests. The event of the evening was the election of the King and Queen, Mr. Nuzum and Miss Haitt, who sat on the throne in an alcove. The above is the write-up in The Anderson Herald of the Junior-Senior Reception of 1925. CLASS TOURNAMENT The Sophomore boys won the .class tournament that took place in the high school gym March 9.

Bush is one of the main cogs in our c0ach's offense. His unusual way of running under the bas- ket worries many guards. He has a shot that is hard to guard. For instance, in one game he made 27 points. This is Bush's last year, 1926 RALPH BLAKE ' 'Rufus ' ' Not enough can be said about Rufus, for he is our old everlasting guard. They never come too hard nor too fast for him. He is a tiash on offense also, for instance, the Alexan- dria game. Rufus will be missed very much for this is his last year.

I am not much at poetry, As some of you high school chaps, Some of my words may sound funny, With several mistakes perhaps, .L -4 , , , ......... II. For we have sure ben working, For our promotions as you may see, And it keeps us pretty busy, For we're busy as a bee. III. But if you pay attention, I've just a word to say, About a great mistake you make, And do it every day. IV. In dealing out your praises, Of the high school and golden rule, Too often you forget the ones, Who works hard in common school. V. Of course 'tis nice to go to high school, And learn to speak and spell, But 'tis nicer yet to go and play, When you hear the old school bell. VI. Your music, paintings, poetry, May all be hard to beat, But tell us what your going to do, When it comes to a Christmas treat. U VII. If you're good and honest in your studies, A.s we are in the grades, Then you'l1 never need to worry, When it's ninety in the shade. -Thelma Baker, I 9 2 6 Mgezwama f P '- 1 digg ' , , --.- Qi!

E. D0 YOU REMEMBER? 0 classmates, do you remember the fun We had from morn till the day was done? When up from the grades we came so meek, Into high school's realms, more knowledge to seek? Remember the quakes of our Freshman year? The cringing, the terror, the qualms, the fear? How before upper classmen we'd always tremble In any place where we'd assemble? As Sophomores we were not more at ease, Mrs. Olson to guide, not so many to tease? Picnics and hikes when the weather was line, Then the close of school on April nine. And 0, could one of us now forget? Our Junior year-the very best yet? The banquet, the parties, the vaudeville and plays, And we were not derided as in other days. Now that We are Seniors, noble and true, We know how much work we have yet to do, Proudly we sacrifice much of our fun For the sake of the work which must be done, -Mable Padgett. . . ,vv V - --'2 '- - -il: .-. -1!9M4awmmu m '5Z1fc ffl' V ' -1,- .Hn llllrmurg of 31nann Nnlanh Cl I6 ngiifn' - adii fs 31 I7 'lm Il Winter xwyi ' fffZgfii3i5Z?f2M 5 I K F it A w a s W ...

Mae, said a mother to her small daughter, why is it that you and your brother are always quarreling? I don't know, replied Mae, unless I take after you and he takes after papa. Mr. Noland, in civics class: What does the amendment do to the slave? Warren: Freeze him, no, I mean frees him. Luanne: How is it I never see you in church any more? Helen L.: Maybe it's because I ain't there. Say, what did you get out of the serv- ices this morning? Myron: Not a thing. I was sleeping when the offering was lifted. Helen N.: Don't you think there should be more clubs for women? Miss Williams: Oh, no, I should be inclined to try more kindness. Miss Williams: Tell me what were the thoughts that passed through Sir Gala- had's mind, when the apple fell on his head? Glenn E.: I guess he felt very glad it wasn't a brick. Do you remember when- Mae DeHart wore her hair in braids? Pete Shelton wore short trousers? Myron and Wilma were given five min- utes for a conversation? Jo asked to have Civics instead of Politics?

Wife: If that's so, when you die I'll expect to find your soul in a settin' hen. What are Olll' young people coming to? asked the lecturer. Old age, just like the rest of us, re- plied a wise philosopher in the audience. Myron: Why do you call your dog 'Camera'? Ralph: Because he tries to snap everyone he meets. Mother fannoyedbz Really, Helen, I don't know how you can be so naughty. Helen: Oh, it's quite easy. Mrs. McCarty: Ralph B. give the name of the selection. Ralph: To a Wild Rose. Mrs. McCarty: Why, no, that's too tame for a wild rose. VEGETABLE LOVE LETTER My Sweet Potato : Do you carrot all for me? My heart beets for you. You are the apple of my eye. If we cantal0upe, lettuce marry. We will be a happy pear. Mr. Noland, trying to explain the dif- ference between vision and sight to the Sophomores, so therefore, gave this illustration : My lady friend and I were out walk- ing and you and your lady friend were out walking. My lady friend was a vis- ion, but your lady friend was a sight. What would happen if- Pete asked Katy for a date? Harold was seen flirting? Red got up too late to put on paint?

E.: Yes, zero. .Io has one consolation that she will be able to write fables for the primary pn- pils, when she becomes a teacher. lst Fresh: How did Jack make out in his mid years? 2nd Fresh: He was caught cheating. How come? ln physiology the question was asked, 'How many vertebrae are there? and he was caught rubbing his back. What would happen if Miss Williams was in our sociology class, when Mr. No- land puts his feet on the desks? What would she say to him? We, the Botany class, wish to know, if Mr. Ewing was reared in the barn. THE ROMANCE Robert Boram's face was like ash, He looked across the aisle And gave a big smile, For there was Opal Rash. Robert was engaged to Naomi, And Opal to her brother. They broke the engagements And married each other. They quarreled all day, And they quarreled all night, And the next morning They had a fight. They had a divorce in courtg And Robert had to pay support. Robert went to Spain, and Opal to France, And that's the end of the great romance!
