But as we pass on to attain greater heights, Please remember us well thra the days and the night, We are sturdy and strong, and what’s more, we’re jolly, For always you’ll find us in more or legs folly. So underclass-mates, Farwell, we leave you with sorrow, But ’tis against our will for trouble to borrow, For the past four years, we have journeyed with you And now, under-classmates, it’s up to you. © ——— == TLLpaA ROA Away back in the early fall of the year of 1917 there were enrolled in the flying school of Maroa High, sixteen freshmen, all green, but willing to learn. It wasn’t long before it dawned on us that to remain at this school would require much study, so while our minds could be easily trained, they were trained in the right direction, to use them and study hard. The first semester came and went and we had seen little or none of the machinery of this school. By this time three of the class had grown weary of waiting and left us. Paul Masterson went to Montana; Thelma Gober went to Decatur, and Fred Donna Schroeder decided work at home was more pleasant. During the first few months we had held two contests, a Latin contest in which the boys won and an English contest in which the girls won. The first time we were allowed to leave the school was Feb. 14, when the boys gave a party in payment of their defeat in English. The girls did not give their party until in June and by that time we had lost one more member, Wesley Meils. In April the track meet was held at Blue Mound, we were permitted to go but received no honors. : The first real flight we had was on May 4, when we held a bakery sale and also did our bit by buying a Fifty Dollar Liberty Bond. This flight, our first, and one of the most important which we took in this school gave us more pleasure and thrill- ing excitement than any flight has ever done: The following month we attended the High School Picnic which proved to give us much pleasure and after that came our first furlough which lasted until the first ot September. Not one failed to return when the time was up. We were entitled to attend many social functions this year, none of which were of special importance, oyster stews, - jubilees and picnics. The Caesar class attended the concert of the Minneapolis Sym- phony Orchestra in Decatur and also bought our class pennant.- Near the end of the year another member left us, Ada Vaughn. In the fall of 1919 we returned to the flying school with an enrollment of twelve again, Lyman Masterson having come from Indiana and joined our ranks. During our third year we took many flights. There were many parties at which Hee Ne ine OA. all of the Flyers could be seen. However the Flying Class of ’21 took the greatest flight which any students at M. H. S. had taken for years when they presented ‘‘The Poor Married Man”’ at the Maroa Opera House, Dec. 18, 1919. While this was probably ' the longest flight so far, we took one almost as important in May when we enter- tained the Seniors of ’20 at the Junior-Senior reception when we proved ourselves to be able to entertain as well as work. In September, 1920, for the fourth time we returned again to the Maroa High field and with us one more member, Beatrice Miller. This year we stood highest at the school. Our boys were becoming wonderful Basket Ball players. Thomas and Milford both held the highest offices of the athletic association. Milford was presi- dent of Kappa Rho, literary club; Thomas was vice-president.and for three years Ruth had been high school pianist. Milford, Thomas, Alfred, Fremon, Wayne and Ruth were in the orchestra. So the Class of ’21 was indeed important. We staged another play this year ‘‘Brother Josiah’? which was repeated in Ma- roa and then taken to Wapella. This year we were the guests of honor at the Junior- Senior reception. On the 3rd of June we graduate from Maroa C. High with highest honors as com- petent flyers. As we have gone along our way five have given up the struggle and two have joined our ranks. We are now given our planes and can fly wherever we try. At the Track Meet this year Thomas proved himself a wonderful dash man by breaking the record of Macon county. Ee lyin le 0s Levey Oe toa SENIOR ALPHABET A is for Alfred, with hair so black, He once got zero for talking back. B is for Bolen, lazy as fun, Who’s always tickled when his work is done.

T is for Irene, Chandler of course, At the basket ball games she yells ’till she’s hoarse.

I was among the first to pass away of the mighty class of ’21. After a few months I was permitted to enter into the pearly gates. Of course, I at once demanded my wings, but Saint Peter said, that before I could obtain these I must first spend at least three years in the ‘‘closed courts’’ in repentance for hypno- tizing my English teacher. After a slight remonstrance I reluctantly followed old Saint Peter toward the scene of my next three years. Just as we were about to enter into the gates of the ‘ Closed Courts’? I was tapped on the shoulder by a sentry and quickly wheeling around I came face to face with my old classmate, Thomas Crocker. Of course, i at once asked him, what he was doing there. He replied with a sigh that while traveling over the Rocky Mountains in his new Cadillac aeroplane, he had gotten on the wrong aerial road and was forced to make a landing near the gates of the ‘‘Closed Courts.’’ He was noticed by the officers and was given a job as sentry of the ‘‘Courts.’’ Saint Peter then commanded that I follow him further into the ‘‘Courts,’’ and about the first place we went from there was to luncheon. Here as we were being served I happened to glance up, and saw Ruth Parlier waiting on tables. Of course I asked her what she was doing there but she meekly replied that she had come with Thomas in his Cadillac. Drearily the three years passed and I was at last freed from the ‘‘Closed Courts’’ and presented with my wings. I was warned that I should not get too near the earth, but I promised that I would not, and I was permitted to leave the kingdom of Heaven for a forty-eight hour leave. As I neared the earth, one of the first things that I noticed was a little country church yard, wherein was being conducted a funeral. I ventured to get close enough to the churchyard to hear the minister deploring the death of Waldo Montgomery who had been killed while having a skillet fight with his beloved wife who was once Miss Lelia Westbrook, because he had come in late from playing golf. Next, as I soared on over my old place of habitation my eye fell upon Yale Col- lege and whom should I see but Irene Chandler instructing a class in Italian. She had (SetS ses Ae ABS Or aX been in this college ever since her graduation and.was much beloved by all of her male students in spite of the fact that her hair was silver white. As I was about to pass on, I noticed a familiar face among the students. Oh, horrors! it was Alfred Pulliam who was still striving to make up the work he had lost in M. H. 8. Shortly after this, as | was passing over Chicago, I noticed a great crowd gath- ered and so I decerided as much as I dared and saw Wayne Smart, the celebrated auctioneer, trying to sell Sears and Roebuck at auction. At this time I had a longing to get near my old home town, and as I passed over Kenney, Il., 1 beheld Fremon Crum on a dimly lit platform, trying to sell patent medi- cine, while his active wife, who was once Beatrice Miller, was doing the ‘‘Hoe Down’’ to amuse the natives. After this IT spent a few moments in gazing over Maroa and about the only famil- iar face that | saw was Lyman Masterson conducting an open air business college in Central Park. Next as I passed over the District of Columbia I heard loud shouts of ‘‘ Long Live the President.’’ As I came nearer I beheid Russell Trummel being inaugurated as President of the United States while his dear wife, who was once Leta Kling quietly sat in the senate chamber preparing her valedictorian speech. : As my forty-eight hours were now up,I, Milford Bolen started on my upward path toward the pearly gates. I had been rather disappointed in my old classmates. But I highly resolved that I would ask as a special favor that President Russel Trummel might be given that ability to duly uphold the reputation and name of the mighty class of 1921. () Pay SENIOR CLASS POEM x O Once upon a midnight dreary, As I sat up in my den, I tried to think and think and think, Which way to move my pen. It was because of this, dear friends, Of this and nothing more, Because we needed poetry, For our annual of great yore. When we started we were Freshmen, And soon were Sophomores big, And when later we were Juniors, We certainly had to dig. And now that we are Seniors, And are wearing caps and gowns, We have ventured many battles, ‘And we have had our ups and downs. We can hardly believe it’s true, That we must leave our school, And will venture in a new world With tongue or pen or tool. But when we leave on class day We hope that we’ve done well, And as we leave you under classmates, We bid you fond farewell. 1 teh; Sale BAG Oe A DATES TO BE REMEMBERED BY THE SENIORS kw ANCIENT HISTORY Feb. 14, 1918—Enelish Party given at Pulliam’s.

When the curtain of history arises which is as far back as the 7th day of Sept., in the year of our Lord 1918, we see appearing on the stage of civilization a loosely allied people, who differ among theméselves in institutions and laws. The immortal Gods however, and‘especially He to whom it is given to wield the thunderbolts, seemed to have decided that certain fixed rules and customs should govern the course of this apparently young nation. Before many periods of history have passed we find the whole tribe reduced to order. This tribe has taken the name of Freshmen. Margaret Glosser was chosen first chief of this tribe and Virgil Wikoff was sec- ond chief, Claire Hobbs was chosen ‘‘Quaestor,’’ an office which corresponds to secretary and treasurer. During the nine moons of the Freshmen history many parties were held. The first event was held in the first moon. We gave a weiner roast at the home of Grace Cornwell. Shortly after, this, in the same moon, a party was held in Lorene Kin- kaid’s home. By this time two members, Harrold Alsup and Cecil Smith left us, Harrold Alsup went to Chicago to join another tribe while Cecil Smith left all tribes and began work under a new order. The Great World War was taking many from other tribal nations, but had not called any from ours, so we did our bit and purchased a “Liberty Bond.’’ Pearl Tracy left us and joined a new order on a farm. Without warning Helen Robinson came to us from another tribe and had to be sworn into our secret councils. Francis Taylor joined another tribe in Decatur and Dollie Braden left all tribes and went to her home. After nine moons our nation disbanded for a short time. During the three moons of disbandment Gladys Meils left us and joined a branch of our nation in South Haven, Kansas. She tells us that the Gods who rule her new tribe carry on the councils in the same manner as we do. On Sept. 7, 1919, we reorganized under the new name of ‘‘Sophomores.’’ At one of our first fire councils Juanita Wikoff was chosen ‘‘Quaestor.’’ Our chief remained the same as before. Our nine moons as Sophomores were uneventful. The immortal gods who were a y { eee Weir beA R= Or with us last year left and three new ones came. They told us many things we never knew, while we in tarn told them things they did not know. During the sixth moon our tribe as well as the other nations were alarmed by the number of councils and fire meetings the Junior tribe was holding. Before long however, we soon learned that we had no cause to be alarmed for they were preparing for the annual Junior-Senior Peace Conference. We stayed for nine mooons under the name of Sophomores and then we disanrdl- ed again for three moons. At the end of three moons we reorganized again, this time under the name of ‘“Juniors.’’ Six new members begged admittance to our tribe and were taken in as members of the Junior tribe. Five came from tribes in the country while Thelma Dash came from a tribe in Lincoln, IIL. ‘n Feb. the Junior tribe gave a program in the assembly which is a gathering ground for all nations in the Great Tribe High School. We cleared twenty-five dol- lars on this program. , Later in the next moon we gave a Jitney Supper. The weather was bad but the tribe was not daunted and we went on preparing for our supper. We made sixty-five dollars and seventy-five cents. Now we are having fire councils as the other Junior tribes before us have done. Next moon we will give the annual Junior-Senior Peace conference. After that the Track Meet in which all Tribal Nations take part will be held Here: Then will come our disbandment for three moons. When we begin again we will be the Senior tribe, ready to take up whatever work the immortal gods have for us to do. When the nine moons are over some of us will join other college tribes and some will be called to new orders. But always, wherever we are at some time or other, our thoughts will wander back and rest lovingly on the happy hunting ground of th e Great Tribe M. C. H.S. ory AG Ora f= A is for Arehart, so studious and meek, She studies on Sunday and all through the week. - Bis for Bookkeeping, the mischievous class. If Miss Heck were our teacher we never would pass. C is for Cornwell, the maid so meek, She’s a fair little lass but her voice is so weak. ‘D is for Dash, the girl with red hair, She’s a ‘‘freckle-faced beauty,’’ but Yutch’ll take care. E is for Esther, Hartley’s her name; She rattles away like a through freight train. F is for fate, and fate it will be; If we don’t get to studying our A, B, C’s. . G is for Glenn, the pick of the girls, With his lovely complexion and auburn curls. H is for Hanes, and Hartley and Hobbs, When Daisy Himes powders, she puts on ‘‘Gobbs.’’ Lis for Independence, with which we’re all blest, In our place among classes we lead all the rest. ‘J is for Juanita, with joy we relate, As our class secretary, she surely is great. K is for Kinkaid, Tootie, the vain; And where you find Tootie, you’ll always find Wayne. Lis for Loyalty to country and school, We have for our motto, the Old Golden Rule. M is for Margaret, so tall and so slim, And also for Moore so pleasant and prim. N is for Noble, which applies to our class. In M. C. H. S. we can’t be surpassed. CO Hey Wait Ace = OA: O stands for ‘‘Only’’ one class like ours, ““No more like this’’ has been writ ’bove the stars. P is for Perfection, which means each of us, We’ll continue to live, when others are dust. Q is for Quartette, which we only possess, Others are good, but this one is best. R is for Robinson, Helen by name, Wherever you find her she’s always the same. S is for Schultz, so young and so fair; In all of her studies she’s always right there. T is for Talent and also for Try, With this combination we’ll always get by. U is for ‘‘us,’’ the class of ’22; Just watch our careers and see what we do. V is for Virgil, who’ll win in the race, But when he takes meals, he always says ‘‘Grace.”’ W is for Westbrook, whom everyone knows, With a smile on her face, wherever she goes. X, Y and Z are last, but not least, May ’22 find ‘‘us”’ also last but not least. le ee al, FOr A. JUNIOR CLASS PROPHECY It was in the year 1931. I was walking down the street in a distant city, when a sign in a shop window attracted my attention. On it were printed in large, pola black letters, the following: “FORTUNE TELLING AND CRYSTAL GLOBE LORE.”’ There wa s something facinating in the message that it bore to me, so I decided to go in and have my fortune revealed. I opened the door and a maid attired in oriental robes ushered me into the mystic shrine. I was confronted by the clairvoyant herself, who was seated in front of a huge erystal globe. Her head was inclined over the globe, but as I looked at her, she ap- peared strikingly familiar to me. As I approached she raised her head and ‘‘Great Caesar,’’ to’my surprise who should it be but my old schoolmate, Martha Hanes. We were both dumb-founded for the minute, but at length I gained enough control over my senses to ask her how she ever came to be here in such a position. Then Martha revealed her whole story to me. She said that after she graduated from old M. C. H. S. that she had tried teaching for a while, but finding no attraction in this, and always having a soft spot in her heart for the mystic profession of globe-gazing, had finally established herself in the position in which found her.: After she had finished her story asked her if by chance she ever ran across any of the old class of ’22. . ‘‘Oh, yes,’’ she said, ‘‘I correspond with several, and then I have calls from some of them. Where have you been all this time, that you have lost track of them?’’ she asked. ““Oh,’’ I answered, ‘‘I have travelled far and wide since I left M. C. H. 8. But, tell me about them, it has been so many years since I have seen any of them, that I am getting anxious. To begin with whatever became of our dignified class presi- dent, Margaret Glosser?’’ “‘Margaret,’’ she replied, ‘‘why didn’t you know that she and George are mar- ried and now reside on a sheep ranch in Idaho? They say that Margaret is the pride of the country round, and that George has become a prosperous farmer and rancher, but that they spend too much time at the Hartley Dancing Academy.”’ ‘ The Hartley Dancing Academy?’’ I cried. ‘“‘Why yes, Esther Hartley is the proprietor. She is a modern Irene Castle, but guess who is her assistant instructor.’’ I assured her that I couldn’t guess it in a hundred years. ‘“‘Why,’’ continued Martha, ‘‘the pride of our class, Helen Robinson.’’ She saw the look of abject horror on my face and paused. ““Go ahead,’’ I said, ‘‘I am ready for anything, nothing could surprise me now.’’ “Tt was too bad about Daisy, wasn’t it?’’ spoke up Martha, trying hard to sup- press a tear. ‘““Why, what has happened to Daisy, nothing serious I hope?’’ “Oh, no,’’ replied Martha, ‘‘only she was jilted by Glenn. Kammermeyer and after months of mental suffering she took the vows of the ‘Sisters of the Holy Cross’ and entered a convent, turning her face from the outside world forever.’’ “‘Poor girl,’’ I replied, ‘‘and Daisy always seemed to enjoy life so much.”’ ©) ee a PN aly Oe EN ‘But wait until I have finished my story,’’ she replied. ‘‘Glenn then turned his attentions toward Hlsie Arehart, but she flatly refused, saying that she would be no man’s second choice.’’ : “Bravo for Elsie, but what ever become of Glenn?” ‘Oh, he accepted a position with a New York firm and is selling overcoats in the Fiji Islands.’’ ‘ Stop,’’ I said, ‘‘I can bear to hear no more, this is too much.”’ ‘“‘But wait,’’ said Martha, and stepping to a desk, opened a drawer and taking from it a paper handed it to me, telling me to read. It was a programme of a noted vaudeville house of the city, announcing the ap- pearance of Grace Cornwell and Virgil Wikoff, noted comedians. ‘‘Can you beat that,’’ she said, taking the paper. ‘‘Of course you remember our class poem,’’ Martha continued, ‘‘well, you know what a time Lorene and Thelma had writing it, but in doing so, they unearthed great ability in that line, so that now both are poets of high rank in the literary world.’’ ‘Then Thelma is not a librarian, as I thought she would be?’’ I replied. ‘“Speaking of librarians, Mildred Westbrook is now holding such a position in the public library at Pinkneyville; and a very capable one she makes,’’ returned Martha. ; Por the first time since our conversation began my attention was drawn to the erystal globe. An idea struck me. ‘“Why not use the globe?’ I said, ‘ to locate some of.our remaining flock?”’ ‘‘Why of course we can, wouldn’t you like to try your luck at it?”’ I assured her that I would, so seating myself before the sphere, gazed steadily at it and at the same time concetrating my mind on the one I wished to see. At first nothing but the clear surface of the globe, then a dark line, then a more defined outline, finally taking a definite shape and appearing as the interior of a large theatre. Hundreds of people were there, anxiously awaiting the performance. At last the curtain rose, and lo! who should appear on the stage gorgeously attired, but our noted soprana, Juanita Wikoff. ! ‘Oh, see,’’ I cried, motioning to Martha, but alas, in trying to ‘draw her atten- tion I had lost the picture forever.

Last, but not least, is the star of the Agriculture cla ss, Edwin Moore. Edwin studied hard and was awarded in the end, for he passed a successful examination at the U. of I, and received the degree of “Stata farm advisor for Ilinois.’’ After Martha had finished informing me concerning my classmates she said, - ‘“Claire, you haven’t told me anything about yourself.” Then she added, ‘‘But you won’t need to for my crystal globe had long ago re- vealed to me that you are an undertaker in Wapella.’’ I thanked Martha for the interesting news she had given me and left, deter- mined to visit Margaret and George on their ranch and spend at least a few evenings at the “Hartley Dancing Academy.’’—For you all know my old hobby. lb G AR O A JUNIOR LIMERICKS xO ® Elsie, Elsie, went to school, Driving her little ‘‘Lizzie.’’ She had a tassel on her cap, But still she drives her ‘‘Lizzie.”’ ‘Oh, Clair, whatever is the matter?’’ SFL took a little Mellin’s Food to get a little fatter, And when I got started I couldn’t stop growing And now it’s a question to where I am goimg.’?

School assembly room. We had all been members of the eighth grade with the ex- ception of Frances Summers, Lucile Woodeock and Homer Kirchkoff.. These three came in from the country. 5 We were met by the three Faculty members who realized our distinguished ap- pearance at a glance, although we didn’t know exactly where to go. We thought we knew where to go but were afraid we wouldn’t find the right place. The three upper classmen laughed and made fun of us, making us feel very ‘‘Cheap.’? We managed to live through that first week and finally lost our fright- ened looks. The other three classes were having class meetings, so we caught the fever and had our first one on Friday of that first ‘‘awful’’ week. The following were elected: President—John Chandler; Secretary—Ruth Butler; Treasurer—Pearl Tracy. We chose our class colors: Old Rose and Gold, and class flower, American Beauty Rose. Our motto was ‘‘The Elevator of Success is not Running, so why not take the Stairs.’’ Such a change as has passed over us. We are now nearing the end of the second year. In the beginning we were all making blunders, bat just look at us now. Any- one who doesn’t know the difference would think we were Seniors. Our superintendent, Roy F. Steele, thought it would be a fine idea for the classes to take turns in giving morning programs. Of course he made the Seniors start it, next the Juniors, then the Sophomores, and last, bat not least, the Freshmen. We enjoyed the three upper class programs very much but we greatly enjoyed the surprise we gave them and the teachers also, by our perfectly wonderful program. It was such an astonishing program, in which we showed the best of our wonderful talents, that even the teachers held up in higher esteem ever afterwards. Of course we were very nervous in showing what we could do but now we do not know what it is to tremble when our name is read. -While the school year was drawing to a close, we were waiting in almost breath- less anxiety for the determination of finals. We were waiting for the day when we could all say with pride ‘‘We are Sophomores.’’ We are at last dignified Sophomores and it surely was hard on us to be ‘‘ Fresh- ies’’ as we lost much of our weight. Now we are gaining again and are almost back to robust health once more. Rak ag ne in our Freshmen year we were very proud to enroll the following class members: Verna Austin, Hilda Tippard, Bessie Rogers, Bonnie Bowden, Glenn Jump, Oma Shoemaker, Charles Bowden, Vercie Kirby, Claudia South, Halmond Bowden, Homer Kirchkoff, Otta Stonebraker, Ruth Butler, Grace Lazelle, Roy Stoutenborough, John _ Chandler, Marie Miller, Frances Summers, Orin Daggett, Marie Montgomery, Pearl Tracy, Harry Himes, Duane Moyer, Otis Van Valley, Lucile Woodcock. The Maroa High School has changed now into the new Community High School and we have five faculty members. When the Sophomores entered, the Faculty took us for Seniors, because we each had such an independent look. Those who left us last year were Ruth Butler, Pearl Tracy, Marie Montgomery and Claudia South. Ruth thought she would like to play the role of Mrs. Marsh; Pearl Tracy left our city; Marie went to Chicago, where she is still going to school, and Claudia went to the country where she attends school. Those who entered were Dollie Braden, Mabel Whitford, Audna Cunningham, Merrill Hartley and Ferne Welge. Our old elass president won in the re-cloction and we chose Lucile Woodcock as our secretary and treasurer. We feel sur2 that our class will bring much honor to the city of Maroa and to the new Community High School. The Speech Improvement Week and Good English Week could not have been successful if the Sophomores had not peen there to help out, especially in the play which was given by some of the high sehcol students. The Glee Club could not be famous if it were not for the wonderful voices of the Sophomore girls. The boys and girls are both needed for the basket ball team and two of the basket ball stars are in our class. We feel sure that our class will soon be known to history. However we are very sorry to say that Dollie and Frances wanted to try the life in the city and Audna wanted to play the role of Mrs. Dewey West, so we again have lost some members. Our Story must now close, but we all hope we may see you next year to say ' “We are Juniors,’’ the next, ‘‘We are Seniors,’’ and the graduates of the best class of the Maroa High School and the New Community High School the Class of ’23. ote ly.

Le beer Bee watwrlny oO) seal SOPHOMORE CLASS PROPHECY While in India on one of my travels, I became curious as to the fate of my other classmates, and upon going to a fortune-telling establishment, the dark-haired magic- ian placed before me a mystery ball. Looking within, I at first saw an old Italian city. Addressing a large crowd of people was Harry, near him on the platform sat Otta, then I knew that these two, who had been sweethearts in the old sophomore days, were married, and that Harry, from the evident applause of the people following his lecture, must have become al- most as great an orator as Cauis Gracchus himself. But thru'the ball I was destined to see more sophs in Italy. In romance haunted Venice in a gondola on one of the canals were Glenn and Grace enjoying their honey- moon. Then the picture changed to an Indian reservation. In front of a large wigwam 1 recognized the familiar face of Lucille and Roy, bending over some beautiful bask- et and bead work. ; The scene changed to the mountains ot West Virginia, in a little bungalow al- ‘most hidden by hills and pine trees, Bessie was coming down the path to meet Claude, her husband. ; In a large island of palms and cogoanuts Ferne and Merrill in the garb of mis- sionaries, were reading to a school of little cannibals. In London I recognized Frances’ pictare pasted everywhere for the evening’s entertainment. Then I knew her dream of becoming a great singer had come true. The scenes changed to a group of mountains. By a small stream fishing were three old classmates, Charles, Otis and Duane, decided bachelors, altho they have done much during the progress of humanity. Duane has discovered two new plan- ets, Charles is a noted physician, and Otis has a wide-spread reputation as a com- . edian. Orin and Marie live in Washington, D. C. He was shown teaching school, but is expected to be the next future president of the White House. Vercie runs a ranch out west, in the ball she was shown out tending to sheep. Presently I recognized the familiar streets of our old home town Maroa, then the old building of M. C. H. S., in one of the rooms presiding over a class was Mabel. I guess they were reading Caesor by the expressions on their faces. Across the hall ( ) fe la bie Ae On GA Marie Miller was conducting a successful geometry class; this was singular, as we all thought she would be sure to marry her country sweetheart. In front of the Princess Theatre were Verna’s and Claudia’s pictures, now star- ring in ‘‘Sunshine and Shadow.’’ In a newly erected hospital Hilda was distributing flowers to the pateints, she looked stunning in her nurse uniform, After much apparent work Homer has invented a book that will do its own studying. John, the original Sir Launcelot and Cma have made their home on Mars. They were having war with the Saturnites, but were victorious presently just like John used to be in basket ball. In a large office in New York, Halmond was shown writing telegrams. He has succeeded in the work he was so promising in as a boy. Three of our former classmates, Ruth, Dollie and Audna, who left us before we were Juniors (for someone they liked better) I prophecy a continuation of their happy married life. : ees as Ara Os oa SOPHOMORE CLASS POEM feteccedpoocogo} The second class in high school is the Sophomores, Learned in English and Ancient History Lore, We are 23 in number and all obey the rule And think we are the only class in high school. When the last bell rings in the morning, About five minuites after nine, We all go out of doors And form into a line. Then march up to the Assembly, When some one the music will play, Until the familiar call of ‘‘classes pass’’ When we go to our work of the day.

We have numbers of stars in our sophomore class, In studies we do very well, Our example to the little freshman is, Always try to excell.

At last the day came with all the bristle and excitement when we twenty-seven young Americans started our High School career. What a thrill was that day, when we came from our quiet homes to assemble in this great institution of learning! We can still see some of our dignified companions coming timidly along, looking in fear at some one of the elder classes or Mr. Steele or some other member of the faculty. We do not need a history, for how can we ever forget our school days. Those golden ruled days when you often remind us as the happiest days of our life. I often wonder if Mr: Steele will always have the splendid advice and welcome for every freshie class. He certainly gave us some good advice that we always will remember. We got-the warmest welcoming that ever a freshman class has had the pleasure to receive. How can we ever forget our first day when we went bumping and tumbling into the wrong class room for Algebra and what a slam those Seniors gave us. How embarrassing it was when we were sent to the office to report of our misconduct to Mr. Steele, a teacher, (unless you were well acquainted with him) that made you fear and tremble and shiver into a tiny heap. How embarrassing it was to have Miss McKee point her finger at you when sh e wanted you to recite, because she couldn’t remember your name. ’ Oh, memory, how can we ever forget those days. Not until the second semester did we feel that we had a true place in the Migh School. When we became aware of the fact that pig tails, hair ribbons and knick- erbockers were scarcer than ever, we were sure we were as important as the Seniors. We have begun to realize real facts that we lacked when first starting. We are now getting acquainted with the abstract words, which mean real school spirit. Our books, toils and hardships are no longer our fears and foes, but are our most intimate friends. We have learned to appreciate their value. We are contented with the present and will let ‘‘Future’’ govern itself. But we all wish that we may be able to reach the heights of our ambitions some day, no matter how long we must wait. And now as the record of our first year campaign is completed we wish to al- ways be a definite part of Maroa High School. The ideals and spirit of this school have already become a definite part of us during our first year with her and we, the class of 1924 wish also to feel that our experiences and achievements will forever remain a part of history and tradition. €) TTS Eee Ae es Our A FRESHMAN ALPHABET psoas coy A is for Arthur With dark eyes and hair.

A = () ee Lins clit, ABR sOR: Atco FRESHMAN CLASS POEM OO Here is to the Freshman Class, Which numbers four plus twenty-three, Next year, ’tis true each lad and lass, Will be a Sophomore bold and free. We stick to the grand old motto ‘Do your best or die,’’ And it just helps us so, That it’s rather hard to lie. We try to do our best In our classes of recitation, And excel most all the rest In conduct and applieation. Our colors are ‘‘Pink and Royal Blue,’’ Our favorite colors of flowers, They stand for honesty, loyal and true, While in our school days golden hours. Why do we have to study so hard About seas, lakes and fogs, And all the elements in laid And about economical hogs. In English its just old themes, And they seem as big as lakes, And Ah, if you know what it means When you make any M. R. mistakes, Why, actually in Latin we tease her, That is our teacher, McKee, ‘What silly stuff we must learn of Caesar, And Oh, how puzzled are we. Miss Shipley, we must also mention, Is our teacher in English you see. And believe us when she calls ‘attention,’’ We’re as quiet as can be. eye gs ASR OOe A Our Algebra teacher’s true Steele, When without lessons we go to class How small he can make us feel, As so straight he looks at each lad and lass. There’s M r. Adams, our science teacher, When we’re bad, Oh Gee! how he can scold. We fully think he should be a preacher, For even in Physics he rails we’re told. We most forgot our teacher Miss Heck, Who shouldn’t be forgotten at all, For she can sow questions by the peck, And scatter them from winter to fall. In the basket ball tournament not long ago, When the ‘‘Senior’’ forward retreated Kdwin, our classmate made a goal, And did his best, altho’ defeated. When our golden school days are done, Then our class will all scatter, When our race with life’s begun, Time, why it won’t matter. No friends will be the same As our dear ‘‘Freshman”’ class, Not half so dear another name Than a freshman’s lad or lass.

Dunham were secured as a coach. Maroa was never represented in football before until this year and consequently all men were green to the game. Through the earnest endeavors of Coach Dunham we were gotten in fit shape to play the season out, although our success was limited. The lack of enough men to form opposition for the first team held the team back in practice and consequently it could not stand up under the hard knocks of a full game. Although the success of this season was rather poor, Coach Dunham has found some real material for a winning team next year and a great record in football for the coming year is anticipated.

BASKET BALL SCHEDULE Dec. 3—Niantic 5; Maroa 57, at Maroa. The Niantic team was rather new to the game and were handicapped by lack of practice on a floor. Our team had little trouble in defeating them and the season opened with a ‘‘bang.’’ - Dec. 4—Onargo 27; Maroa 23, at Onargo. After a long and ardous ride the team reached Onargo, Ill., and presented a bright brand of basket ball against the fast military squad. The lack of a guard hindered the team somewhat but the game was hotly contested throughout. Dec. 10—Mt. Pulaski 18; Maroa 13, at Mt. Pulaski. The team left Maroa in automobiles early in the afternoon, but owing to the bad roads and various other hinderances arrived in barely time to start the game. A list- less game followed and the Maroa boys lost by a slight margin. Dec. 17—Bement 15; Maroa 22, at Maroa. | The Bement team arrived at Maroa with great hopes of defeating the Blue and esl eA tO) A. Gold tossers. Because of the intense rivalry the game was fast and furious throughout but the Maroa boys took the victory with a seven point lead. Dec. 23—Lexington 11; Maroa 39, at Maroa. Lexington was classed as a fast team and a good crowd turned out to see the con- test. Coach Wilkey’s tossers were working in rare form and succeeded in defeat- ing the visitors by a large score. Dec. 31—Clinton 28; Maroa 15, at Clinton. The fast Clinton team succeeded in defeating the Maroa squad in a fast and in- teresting contest. The team was handicapped by lack of practice during the Christ- mas vacation and the size of the Clinton floor was much in favor of the opponents. Jan. 7—Illiopolis 4; Maroa 21, at Maroa. Illiopolis furnished but little opposition and the Maroa team took advantage of this fact and paid them back for the beating which they gave us in football earlier in the season. Jan. 7—Cerro Gordo 7; Maroa 107, at Maroa. Cerro Gordo were highly outclassed and were victims of a forty minute comedy in which the Maroa team won by a hundred point margin. Jan. 14—Bement 10; Maroa 20, at Bement. The Maroa team went over on a special car accompanied by about fifty rooters and a fifteen-piece band. Before an immense crowd in the new Bement gymnasium the Maroa squad was again victorious over their old rivals. Jan. 2i—Waynesvi lle 15; Maroa 27, at Maroa. : Waynesville had a fast, snappy little team but their weight and size was a handi- cap and they went down to defeat before Maroa High. Jan. 28—American Legion 15; Maroa 32, at Maroa. This games was played for the purpose of replenishing the High School funds. A good sized crowd witnessed the game in which the Legion was easily defeated. Feb. 4—Atwood 31; Maroa 38, at Maroa. This was the fastest and most exciting game ever played in the Maroa gym. The Maroa team staged a grand rally the last three minutes, putting over the winning tallies. Feb. 11—Ramsey 18; Maroa 36, at Maroa. Ramsey issued a challenge in the Decatur paper challenging any team in Central Illinois. Maroa High accepted the challenge and succeeded in taking their seventh straight victory. Feb. 18—Moweaqua 19; Maroa Second 15, at Moweaqua. Owing to the fact that the first team had two games the next day, Coach Wilkey sent the Seconds to Moweaqua where they met defeat at the hands of their old rivals. Feb. 19—Waynesville 22; Maroa 32, at Waynesville. This game was played in the afternoon and was fast and interesting ion ctek The splendid treatment of the Maroa players by the Waynesville rooters will long be remembered. eda Se Age aR: MOA Feb. 19—Moweaqua 20; Maroa 50, at Maroa. The team returned from Waynesville in time to meet the Moweaqua players on the Maroa floor. In this game the Maroa First repaid the visitors for the defeat of the Seconds the night before. Feb. 25—Morrisonville 21;Maroa 17, at Morrisonville. This game was one of the most enduring games ever played by either team. Morrisonville scored the winning points in the third overtime period. March 2—Mt. Pulaski 21; Maroa 32, at Maroa. Mt. Pulaski arrived in Maroa confident of victory but after the first few minutes of play their hopes were shattered as the Maroa team forged ahead for a ten point victory. March 4—Atwood 20; Maroa 21, at Atwood. In the last schedule game of the season the Atwood fans were treated with a rare game of basketball in which the Atwood players went down to defeat by one point. THE TOURNAMENT The hopes of the Maroa Basket Ball enthusiasts were high and the Maroa team was expected to place in the tournament, as ‘we had already defeated Atwood twice in the season and they were our first opponents. Coach Wilkey sent the men through hard practice the three weeks before the tournament and for three days before the big game on Friday, March 11, we rested. Every man was in perfect condition and expected to win. On the day of the game the team trotted out before an immense crowd among whom there were over two hundred Maroa rooters. The game started like a whirlwind but the hands of fate were layed upon us and our team went to pieces in the first ten minutes. After the first half with Atwood holding a twenty point lead and the stinging words of Coach Wilkey in our ears we attempted to do better but alas it was no use. The forwards were unable to hit the basket and the guards were unable to keep At- wood from putting it in, so the game ended in a miserable defeat for the fastest team that ever represented the Maroa High. The final score was Atwood 39, Maroa 4. The teams placing in the tournament were: Decatur, first. Clinton, second. Atwood, third. Bement, fourth. ——_— leet Tir At Rt Or SCHEDULE Maroa Illiopolis at Maroa, April 1___-_- 16 Maroa at Moweaqua, April 8 _--_ 5 Stonington at Maroa, April 13 19 Maroa at Blue Mound, April 22 Maroa at Pana, April 29 Maroa at Ilhopolis Moweaqua at Maroa Maroa at Stonington Blue Mound at Maroa Pana at Maroa ; Opposite 3 6 13 am () el elite liye hoe Ok A BASE BALL kk The team from Maroa last year made a poor showing, but as it was the first year in base ball for seven years it was not surprising. The team finished last in the central Hlinois championship race of 1920. As the spring of ’21 opened up, spirits revived and promises for a winning team sprung up. The weather conditions held back practice and the men were in poor training for the first game on April 1. Mr. P. O. Redmon took charge of the team and base ball stock has jumped 50 per cent as the team begins to show the snap and pep of a real ball team. The en- thusiasm of the school is aroused and we look forward to a good season. Line-up Smart, Butler—Catchers. Masterson, Tozer, Kammermyer—Pitchers. Himes—Ist Base. Melvin Smart—2nd Base.

TRACK MEETS In 1917 a meeting of all the minor schools in Macon county was held and it was decided to hold a regular track and literary meet in the spring of each year. ° In this meet the team scoring the highest number of points was to receive a banner. Also the fastest relay team was to receive a banner. The first year of the meet Maroa succeeded in winning both the relay and ath- letic banners by a large majority of points. The second meet, which was held at Blue Mound in May 1918, Maroa repeated eee by 3-5 of a point in the athletic events and the relay team was by far the astest. In the year 1919 the meet being held at Argenta, Maroa easily won the meet by a large number of points. In this meet two records were broken, one in the javelin throw and the other in the running high jump, both by Maroa men. In the meet of 1920 which was held at Macon we were defeated in the athletic events by one point, Argenta winning the meet. The Maroa relay team won easily and two records were broken by Maroa men in the 100 yard and 220 yard dash. The mect for 1921 is to be held at Maroa on May 27. The people of Maroa are looking forward to a repitition of our former victories. The track men are showing much class in their practice and are making good time in all runs.

Officers were elected as follows: President—Milford Bolen. Vice-President—Thomas Crocker. Seeretary—Maregaret Glosser. The Kappa Rho society has one meeting each month. A program given by the members consisting of music, readings, jokes and current events. All parents and friends are asked’to attend these meetings which prove to be very interesting. The High School Orchestra plays at these meetings. Picnics The High School has a picnic each year just at the close of school. The Seniors are always the guests at these picnies and the past Seniors are always invited. The eats are furnished by the students and an abundance of good things are al- ways present. We generally go in cars to Faries Park or Weldon Springs, where a good time is enjoyed by all. Class Parties Hiver since we have been in High School it has been our aim not only to attain our goal, ‘‘Success,’’ but also to have a good social time as we progress on our way. Jn our Freshman year we had two parties which proved to be successful. At these parties a good social time was spent and refreshments were served. Thus bring- ing our class in closer relationship with each other. We have attained our goal. We have also had other parties and picnics during our school career. School Parties M. C. H.S. is noted for its good times as well as for its work. For the last four years many parties have been held in the ‘‘Gym.’’ During our Sophomore year a ‘‘Post Exam. Jubilee’? was held, besides Oyster Stews, Chicken Suppers and other parties. We also had a party in the ‘“‘Gym”’ for a contest in getting subseriptions for “The Country Gentleman.’’ Marlins ae As Re Or aA, JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET, ’20 The Junior class of M.

Dur- ing the three years many changes have been made by the addition of new members. Miss Ruth Parlier has served as pianist since its organization. The Orchestra has played every month for the Annual Kappa Rho program. The chief feature of the ‘‘Chapter Encampment of the I. O. O. F.’’ was the High School Orchestra. The Orchestra played for the eae play ‘‘Brother Josiah’? and for the Junior play. The success of our Orchestra is due to the careful teachings of Mrs. Dewhirst.

Pole SAeoR = @ A o SNUG SSS ««s ETCOL OL AROA THE ANNUAL LITERARY MEETS kk In 1917, a league composed of Maroa, Argenta, Harristown, Niantic and Blue Mound High Schools of Macon county, was organized for the purpose of promoting literature in the schools. Meets are to be held annually for contests in Orations, Declamations, Essays, Piano and Voeal solos. The first meet was held at Maroa in May, 1917, at which time Maroa and Ar- genta tied for highest honors, both schools were awarded a banner. In 1918 the contest was held at Blue Mound, where Maroa won first honors and brought home the banner. Maroa again gave evidence of her literary supremacy by winning first place at the annual meet held at Argenta. Macon High School joined the league in 1920 and the contest was held in their city. As usual Maroa won the banner by taking every blue ribbon and several red — ones. Maroa’s suecess is largely due to the preliminary contests held every year by their High School. These local contests are largely attended and are highly appreci- ated by the people of Maroa. The enthusiasm and rivlary displayed by the contestants often makes the pre- liminary more interesting than the league contests. fe eli Ar OF TA “A POOR MARRIED MAN” A farce comedy in three acts.

Mr. Steele was rather puzzled why they should do this, so he said: ‘What did you boys move that piano in there for?’ Charles—‘‘We-we- did it in a moment of weakness, sir.’’ Mr. Steele—‘‘Goodnight, what could you have done in a moment of strength.”’ Freshman—‘‘I want to buy a mirror.’’ Shopkeeper—‘‘A hand mirror?”’ Freshman—‘‘No, one I ean see my face in.’’ Mr. Adams, selecting cover for a book.

Wanted—All kinds of junk by Plug Pulliam, dealer in used watches. Wanted Glenn Kammarmeyer to look at no girl but me, Elsie Arehart.

Can You Imagine: Claire Hobbs being slim? Leta Kling chewing gum in school? Glenn Jump with short hair? Miss McKee not keeping the Ambrican History class after school? The Freshmen being dutiful children? Why Miss Heck gives such low examination grades? What a Change There Would Be If the Freshmen were not so green. If Let a Kling never studied, If Glenn Kammermeyer only loved Elsie. If Elsie wouldn’t fuss about her beaus all the time. If Milford Bolen didn’t like pie. If all Home Economic girls only had a sweet disposition. If Thomas Crocker would go to Decatur instead of Clinton. Jes a Disa Gy aN aC Rema THE GRIGSBYS GO A VISITING ‘Ma, here it comes, Ma hurry up, here it comes,’’? cried William Alexander Grigsby, as the train rounded the curve. ‘Here, William Alexander, take this valise; Mary Ann, carry that lunch basket; Pruenelly Priscilly, don’t fergit yer umbreller; and for lands sake Christopher Colum- bus, hang onto yer cap, ’cause yer allus are fegittin’ it. Now come on or the train will go off an’ leave us.’’ Thus admonishing all her offsprings, Mrs. Grigsby led them out of the station onto the platform. Now Christopher, non o’ that,’’ she said to her youngest son, ‘‘just quit yer erowdin’. Anyway Mary Ann and Pruenelly Priscilly has to git on first. Doncha know ladies allus come before gentlemen?’’ At last they were all on board the train. Lunch baskets, valises and paper bund- les being deposited, they settled themselves in two seats, prepared to make the most of their journey. ‘“Aw, I want to sit by the winder,’’ said William Alexander. ‘‘Christopher Co- Inmbas Grigsby you got to get away from there. Ma make him,’’ he added turning to his mother. The Grigsby family, that is ‘all but Mr. Grigsby had started on a visit to Mrs. Grigsby’s sister. This was the little Grigsby’s first journey on a train and so it was a very unusual occurence for them. With wide open eyes they stared about them. noting all the strange things they saw. ‘Don’t it seem funny to see rows of seats and an aisle between on a train,’’ said - William Alexander. ‘‘It seems just like a church almost.’’ ‘‘Church nothin,’’ de- clared Christopher. ‘‘Church seats ain’t soft like these, I guess.’’ “They don’t have to be soft to seem like church, do they? Anyway these ain’t Som, 7 : ‘‘Now you boys don’t need to start an argument,’’. said Mary Ann, the oldest child, a girl of fourteen, who possessed all the wisdom and dignity of the family. ‘Don’t you know it don’t look nice to see boys ssrapin’ all the time?”’ “We wasn’t serapin’ we’se just talkin,’’ said William Alexander. ‘“‘Well, quit it, whatever it is.’’ ‘“Oh, look ma, here comes a nigger. Oh, Ma, will he eat me?”’ eried Pruennelly Priesilly, who had always heard that negrocs were famed as cannibals. ‘‘Merey no, Prue,’’ said Mary Ann, disgusted at her ignorant little sister. ““Fe’s supposed to sell papers, candy, chewing gam an’ stuff.’’ ‘Oh Ma; has he got any eandy?’’ asked Christopher. ‘‘Ma buy me some candy, T want some candy, ma.’’ ‘Now you jes’ shut right up. We haven’t hardly gone five miles and yer askin’ fer candy a’ready. No, you can’t have any.”’ “‘Oh, ma, | want some,’’ Chrstophier started to ery. ‘‘Now you jes’ dry up, Christopher Columbus Grigsby, and if you eat any candy now there won’t be any room left fer yer dinner.’’ Mrs. Grigsby was firm in her de- cision. ‘Oh Ma, open the window,’’ said William Alexander. ‘‘It’s hot all crowded into these two seats.’’ : Edips Eee Asay, On 2A ‘‘Go find a seat fer yourself, then, but see that ye behave yerself. I don’t want to be disgraced by ye.”’ ‘“‘Ma, can I go too?’’ begged Christopher. “ Oh, yes, I reckon.’’ So William Alexander and Christopher both scampered off to find a seat for themselves. For a while Mrs. Grigsby enjoyed a few moments of peace; but this did not last long, for suddenly a scream pierced the air causing all the passengers to direct their eyes to a small boy, leaning far out of an open window, screaming at the top of his voice. ‘Christopher Columbus Grigsby,’’ cried his horrified mother, ‘‘ get in out of that window at once. I told you to sit down and behave, didn’t I?’’ ‘“Well, I don’t care,”? he sobbed, drawing in his head. ‘I opened the window and looked out to see a boy and my cap blew off. Boo-hoo.’’ ‘Well of all things, what are you going to do next? You come right here and set with me. You'll have to go without a cap now, I reckon ’till we get to Aunt Sally’s. « “‘I want a cap, I guess I do,’’ he sobbed. ‘You know very well you can’t get one here, so hush woe As the dinner hour approached, Mrs. Grigsby got out the lunch basket. “‘ William Alexander,’’ she called, ‘‘if you want any dinner you’d better come here.’’ Oh mother, don’t yell so,’ said MaryAnn, ‘‘everyone can hear you. It’s go mortifying.’’ ‘“How are ye goin’ to raise that child, then if ye don’t yell, I’d like to know.’’ You should have sent Prue after him. Do be careful what you do.’’ At length William Alexander arrived and Mrs. Grigsby spread the lunch out on their laps. She distributed a fried chicken among them, giving Mary Ann a leg. ‘‘How shall I eat this anyway?’’ asked Mary Ann. ‘Pick it up in your hand, of course, you goose,’’ said William Alexander. ‘‘Y¥es, I guess so people’s think I’d been raised in an insane asylum.’’ “You can eat it that way or not at all, Miss Particular,’’ said her mother. ‘“Then I prefer not to eat it at all,’’ replied she and satisfied her hunger by nib- bling a piece of cake. “‘You’ll get hungry before you get there too, Mary Ann,’’ said Prunenella Pris- cilla. “William Alexander Grigsby, jes’ look what you’ve done. There’s a stream of jam clear down the front of your clean shirt. My land, I wish I’d left you kids at | home.”’ So it went on. The lunch was finished and put away and all the children but Mary Ann dropped off to sleep. So the afternoon ride passed more quietly. ‘‘Pumpkin Vine Corners,’’ called the conductor. Mrs. Grigsby aroused her children.. ‘‘Here we are William Alexander,’’ she said. ‘Wake up Christopher and Prue, h ere we are.’’ So getting together all their belongings Mrs. Grigsby led the little company from the train. ESTHER HARTLEY. ary Ag che Ont eA A ROMANCE IN AN OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN This beautiful romance had started in a gay little flower store in the heart of New York. He, was a strong healthy rosebush while she was but a weak, pale lily- _of-the-valley. She was so beautiful in her pale delicacy that he—with his blushing Reames wa in love with her at first sight. ‘ One bright spring day a spritely old woman bustled into the store. She had an aristocratic air about her but her rustling black silk dress was far from being fash- ionably cut. She had a sweet old-fashioned face and a small black hat crowned her snow-white hair. ve She moved about from place to place with the silence and agility of a cat. Finally she espied this little lily-of-the-valley and her eyes lit up with a look of longing. She picked it up and gazed lovingly on it. This was her favorite flower and she had been trying for a long time to find it. A mad jealousy filled Mr. Rosebush’s heart _ but he had to keep silent. She paid for Miss Lily-of-the-Valley and left the store with her held closely in her arms. Mr. Rosebush scarcely had time to wave ‘‘good- bye’’ and Miss Lily-of-the-Valley to return the farewell before the door which was to separate them forever—so they thought, was closed. But this was not to be so. About two months later a young woman entered this same flower store. She was of the restless sort and was hard to please. She finally decided to take Mr. Rose- bush, however, and asked that he be sent out to the hospital. “The hospital! What could that. be?’ he said to himself. In a few hours he found out. He was placed in an old covered wagon with many other plants and then a.man climbed inand sat on a seat in front of them. Mr. Rosebush stretched himself as much as he could but he could scarcely peep over the back of the seat. He saw the man push and pull on some levers and then the wagon started with a jerk. They rattled over the rough street for a while and then stop- ped with another jerk in front of a large building. The man got down from his seat, picked up several plants and walked into the building. It was dark and quiet here, and it seemed to Mr. Rosebush that he could not Greathe. ‘Oh, if Miss Lily-of-the-Valley could see me now,’’ he thought. By this time they had been carried into another room and he saw rows upon rows of white beds and some one in nearly every one of them. He was taken to a little girl who lay tossing feverishly on her pillow. He dark curls fell about her shoulders and a white cloth was folded over her eyes. She too, was pale and Mr. Rosebush looked longingly at her because she made him think of his little Lily-of- the-Valley. Presently a large man with a big gruff voice came in and he was dressed all in white. He was followed by a woman who was also dressed in white. The man poured something dark into a spoon, from alittle bottle and then poured it into the girl’s mouth. Shortly after, the girl ceased tossing about and Mr. Rosebush heard the man say that she was asleep, and then he left, Mr. Rosebush thought it was time ' for him to go to sleep, too. He glanced out of the window and saw that it had grown dark since he was brought in here, so he began to close up his petals to go to “sleep. a) cs) ee ee a at a 6 le About the time he was dozing someone came in and all at once the room became as light as though the sun were shining. Mr. Rosebush started up but was unable to see for a moment, so he closed his eyes. Presently he opened them and looked around. He saw that the light came from some little glass things that hung down from the ceiling. He also saw that no one seemed surprised at this light so he. went back to sleep. The next morning when he awoke he found white clad nurses moving silently about among the patients. The sun was shining in the window and he took a sun bath. In a little while the girl woke up and the first thing she saw was Mr. Rosebush. She was overcome with delight. A great many of her friends came to see her and she always took great pride in showing her ‘““big rosie’’ as she called him, to them. . This went on for three long weeks. He tried to hold himself erect as he used to do, but it was no use. He began to droop and fade, for he was not getting enough fresh air and was separated from all his friends, especially the one he liked most of all. Each day he sighed to himself and w ondered where she was and if she ever thought of him. We shall now see what became of MissLily-of-the-Valley. The little old woman hurried home with her held tightly in her arms. The home was a little vine-cover- ed cottage which was set back from the street and it was entirely surrounded by flower gardens. Every kind of flower anyone could wish to see was growing here and they were all in bloom now, making a strange but sweet perfume with the ming- ling of all their fragrances. There was one spot where the old lady had not planted anything and that was beneath the window of her bedroom. She had saved this place for her favorite flower. Now that she had foand what she had so long been looking for, she wasted no time in placing her in her new home. She received the best of care and soon became a very sturdy little plant and sent forth shoots from her slender stalk. One day the old woman’s little grand-darghter came for‘a visit. She loved to play among the flowers and help her grandmother care for them. One day she left the yard and was gone for a long time. When she returned she was carrying what had once been a strong, healthy rosebush, but now was pale and drooped. She ran into the house excitedly and came back with her grandmother carrying a shovel, They looked for a suitable place to plant it and finally the little girl noticed a place beside the little lily-of-the-valley and there the rosebush was planted. After they left him he looked aroznd to see to what paradise he had been carried. He heard a sob and looked down at his side from whence the sound came and there was, yes, there was his little Lily-of-the-Valley. He was too overcome to talk to her at first. After a time he became more composed, and then they listened eagerly to each other’s experiences. She was the stronger of the two now, so she must help him back to his former strength. She pushed her little hands along beneath the ground until she found his and thus she nourished him back to health and beauty. I am sure you would still find them the same today if you were to go and see for yourself, MARGARET GLOSSER, 9 YT LITRE OSE, LE bos i? Am Re OF A W. C.
