S, Cunningham, R. H. McFadden and John 1... Allison. ln 1864- the school district was divided by a petition ofthe vpters, the dividing line be- ing the illinois Central railroad. For twenty-two years Mattoon had two 4 . districts with their separate schools, boards of education and superintendents. ln 1836, through a second petition, the two districts were united and W6 placed under the direction of one superintendent. Mr. B. F. Armitage. Under A ' , i. i his direction the schools were much advanced and improved. Near the close of his term two new modern fourteen room buildings were erected. Mr. Armitage resigned in 1900 and was succeeded by Mr. J. J. Wilkinson: Mr. Wilkinson served two years and was succeeded in 1902 by Mr. G P. Randle, the present superintendent. The Board of Education is as follows: eDr. W. H. Wallace, President. A. 1. Rhue, Secretary. Isaac Craig, Thomas Donnell, Norman McLeod, Marx Thode, W. N. McKamv. From what can be learned, the High School proper was not established at any definite time, but was built up from the grammar schools by the addition of different courses from year to year until in 1886, when the two districts were united and the High School was set apart from the other schools. The school was conducted in the Unitarian church and at hrst only two teachers were necessary for the work. The hrst principal, Miss Lola Bridges, was succeeded by Mr. Seldon F. Sinyser and he by Miss Lucy B, Taylor. ln 1889 a new building was deemed necessary to accommodate the High School. An appropriation for a new building was voted and in January 1890 the High School moved into the building which is the annex ofthe present structure. After three years, Miss Taylor resigned and was succeeded by Miss Mary A. Porter who 8 MR. WA1.L1SffTruKh is mighty, mighty scarce 5 mp.: T I we ' ul' 4- 1 remained two years. She was succeeded by Miss Kate Carman who served six years. During her term, many additions and improvements were made in the form of musical, literary and athletic clubs. Miss Carman was followed by Mr. Seldon F. Smyser who served two years or until 1900. He was succeeded by Mr. Will A. Marlowe who. together with all the members of the faculty except two, resigned in the spring of 1902. ln 1902 a new building had become necessary and the present structure was erected. It is a modern fourteen room structure with both a boys' and girls' gymnasium and with well equipped biological, physical and chemical laboratories. lt was completed early in 1905 and the High School moved into its present quarters in the latter part of January 1905. Q In the fall of 1902 Mr. Gilbert and an almost entirely new faculty took charge of the High School. During the erection of the new building the lower classes were sent to the Longfellow school while the upper classes held school in the old building. Mr. Gilbert resigned after one year's work and was succeeded by Mr. Wm. Wallis, the present principal. The names of the faculty are as follows:- Wm. Wallis, Principal. History. Mrs. Angie Ritter, Assistant Principal, Science. Miss Winifred Schmalhausen, Mathematics. J. F. Wiley, German. W. W. Skaggs, English. Miss Mary Slocum, Science. Miss Winifred Taylor, English. Miss Luella McWhirter, Latin. Since its establishment the Mattoon High School has grown wonderfully and is second to none in the state. It is on the accredited list of the leading colleges and universities in the Middle West. It numbers among its alumni member of all the professions and lines of business in life. 9 THE RIVALS-Ray McCormick and Will King. l 2 5 4 5 6 'Z 8 9 10 ll 12 15 141 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 'D Alumni f aitit con High School' SINCE UNION OF' SCHOOLS IN 1886 I il-.l ,-iii CLASS OF 1882 Sarah Bennett I Mrs. John Erwin li Chicago Mae Candy I Mrs. Roy Wright 1 Urbana Ellen Cleaves Chicago Mary Heffernan Denver, Col.

S. it was about eighty strong. -.I At that time it constituted about half ofthe total attendance of the H.S. The J VY ,A class was divided into several divisions and for the first year or two there I I was very little class spirit shown. During our first year in the high school i the order and discipline of the school was very poor, and we have felt the eiects of that year of idleness and play many times since. lt is safe to say I 5 I 1 that very few scrapes took place then without some member of our class being U connected with them. But notwithstanding the dis-advantages under which we labored, we had one enjoyable class party and one sleighing party in the latter part of our First year. I When we entered upon our second term in the lVl. H. S., a new building was being built on to the old one, making it necessary to study entirely at home although we recited in the old building. At the same time an almost entirely new corps of teachers took charge ofthe school and we did not get the best results out of the First half of our second year. But at the begin- ning of the second half of this year the new building was finished and from that time we have had the best results possible out of our school work. At the close of the second year the class held a party at Fitzgerald Hall, at which dancing was prohibited but a notable Grand Nlarch was the attraction ot the evening. At the beginning ofthe third year, so many of our class had quit school or fallen behind that the class numbered only somewhere in forty. ln thermidst of our duties of that year, we were called to mourn the premature death of our classmate and friend, Harry Eldridge, whg lost his life in that terrible holocaust in Chicago, where hundreds of lives were swept away in an instant, At the close of our third year, on account of the 12 B class being so small, our class gave the Seniors a banquet and obtained the much-prized scepter. When we entered on our senior year, our class roll had fallen to some twenty-five or thirty. Just at the close ofthe third semester, owing to the new adjustment of classes, the classes of January and Nlay 'O5 were united. There were only five in the January class and our number having fallen to twenty-three. the Class of May '05 now numbers twenty-eight. As our school life in Mattoon draws to .a close, we look back upon some of our deeds with pleasure and other-S with regret and we look forward into the future with high hopes of bringing fame and renown to the name of the dear old Mattoon High School. 18 ROLLO SAYREWUI am the king and some to claim my own, from an impostor who usurps my throne ' 5 il- mrmmm . Hass Prophecy I-lE sun was shining overhead and as l stood on the deck ofthe Deutschland I wished more than once that she had reached her dock. My friend, Chas. Beveridge, and I were just returning from Europe, where we had been on a business trip. We had accomplished our object, that of combining several English Electric Companies, and were feeling pretty good. As there was no prospect of leaving the vessel for quite a while, we betook ourselves to the shady side of the deck and to our newspapers which had been published on board, the news contained in them having been received by wireless telegraph. What do you think of this? said Chas. after several moments of silence. Mildred I-Ielmer has married since we left and is now a member ofthe Four il-Iundredf' What's his name? I asked quickly. You want to know too much, so saying Chas. put his paper in his pocket. Where are all of the members of our class in the lVl. I-I. S. now? he asked, after sitting a while in thought. I I don't know, I answered. I..et's see -there's Lena Lucas, she's physician in some hospital in Denverg Ed Knerr is traveling for the General Electric Company. He made a pretty good thing out of that invention of his to keep people from falling on icy sidewalksgand Lottie Weaver is married and living quietly in Central Illinois. Where's Pearl Webb and Pearl Patrick? I asked in turn. Pearl Webb is gaining fame as an author here in New York and Pearl Patrick is one of the leading church workers of the country. But enough of that nowv we're docked and we'll have to get a move on us if we reach Avey 85 Shinn's ohices before dark. I must say right here that Avey and Shinn had gone into partnership to practice their profession-that of civil engineering-and were gaining both fame and fortune-one of their successful undertakings being the completion of the Panama Canal. On the way up town my companion purchased a paper, for the newsboys were yelling, All the news about the murder! and his curiosity had been aroused. 19 THE STROI.I.ERS'Mildred l-lelmer and Maddox Brim. What is it? I asked. ' Ofmurder-man found dead in bed this morning-lived in East Orange-very wealthy I citizenepoisoning suspected-son held to grand jury-R. C. Sayre, the eminent jurist, retained to defend hirnfgrand jury awaiting the report of Chemist Thornberry of Johns Hopkins, said Charles reading the head lines X Seems as though we can't help talking or reading about our old classmates this after- noon, doesn't it? By this time, we had reached our destination and were inthe arms-figuratively speaking -of our friends. Turk showed his paper and asked concerning others of our classmates. Why, said Shinn, You're just a little too late. Marguerite Holaday called this after- noon. She came to New York to see about the publication of a revised edition of her English Grammar, and Mabel Bruner is teaching Latin out at Leland Stanford: Gertrude Taylor is there, too -teaching English. X . Then there's Agnes Barrett, added Avey. She's Mother Superior at St. Mary's of the Woods, and Ruth Sparks is the leader of a woman's political society out in Kansas, Say--you fellows- called Avey as we were leaving, We want you to go around to the Grand with us this evening. Ray's going to play. Ray-Ray who? we answered. Why our Ray! Who do you suppose? Ray Hampson, of course. Then we understood. We were going to hear Ray play once more-Ray who had played for us so often as We marched from the assembly room. We were there all right, and we were not the only ones for a StandingRoom Only card was in evidence. As Ray came forward upon the stage the large audience became strangely quiet and throughout the whole program listened as if they feared to miss a note. But what a roar tilled that house when he had finished. Flowers literally rained upon that stage. We went behind the scenes and there found Ray-modest and unassuming as ever. After a few words of congratulation upon his success in his chosen line of work, we took our departure and returned to the St. Regis, for we intended spending the night in New York. On the forenoon of the second day we left, and by the morning of the third, were in Chicago. Now the first thing on the program, said Charles on leaving the train, is to look up Bertha Sumerlin. Our advertising manager tells me she is rivaling McCutcheon in cartoon work, but he can't get any done because she is so busy. However, he thought that perhaps a. personal call from us would help matters. After finishing up the business end of the program, we decided to go to see Will King, the 20 THE ROYAL CHEF-James Morrison. ,til V .J QMAQ ,e - Ja, H 71:51-.fr , YQ 5 w.e,g..f. - ':u,1usf v ' head surgeon of the Rockefeller Memorial Hospital. King was independently wealthy now, he having cured John D. Rockefeller's stomach troubles and received the promised million. Out of gratitude, John D. had endowed this hospital and put King in charge at a handsome salary. We found him as jovial as ever and passed a pleasant afternoon. It was to be our good furtune to hear news of still others of our classmates. Grace Morrison, said King. is out in Denver with her husband whose health is not of the best, l don't know about Beatrice Doran, but I think she is here-drawn to the 'Windy City' by one of its Bresee's. Della Tate is the head nurse here-l thought you knew that. We had intended leaving Chicago to pass through Mattoon on our return trip, and see once more the old High School where we had passed so many pleasant hours. However we did not make the extra trip there because King said the school had been torn down several years previous and a new and larger one erected in its place. Twenty hours later found us back in New York and at work again. H. J, H., 'O5. 21 GEORGE COBB-A good soft pillow for that soft head, ,', . . i K . Eg ,.3 '.

H. S., and of the wild and barbarous rulers and inhabi- , tants before the advent ofthe 'O5s, nothing is known. When the 'O5s, under William the Conqueror of the House of Marlow, invaded and conquered the M. H. S. they found that the inhabitants had degenerated into sluggish and animalistic beings, much like the Saxons before the Norman conquest of Eng- . land. The '05s brought with them that intellectuality, that vivacity of wit, V, that refinement and elegance of expression and engrafted it on the sluggish inhabitants, thus raising them out of the slough of animalism and putting them on the well-beaten path of progress and civilization. But the harshness ofthe ruler soon caused numerous rebellions headed by the barons of 'O5. During these outbreaks the barons were exiled numerous times, but always managed to return and they finally deposed the ruler. For a while the M. H. S. was under rule of a distaff. Soon the barons of '05 influenced the introduction of a new regime, under Gilbert the Great. with a new building, new laws and new heads of departments. The new sovereign soon brought law and order out of chaos and rebellion. The barons of '05, realizing that these things were just what the M. H. S. needed for its advancement, stood staunchly by their king and defeated all the weak and vacillating attemps made by the other classes for his overthrow. Under Gilbert the Great. the development of democracy was so great that it grew in advance of public opinion. With the close ofthe House of Gilbert and the coming of William ofthe House of Wallis came a reaction. He began building up that system of personal sovereignty so harsh and tyf rannical in its effects, ln spite ofthe opposition of the barons of '05, he has grown steadily in power and has established those harsh laws which crush both physical and intellectual freedom. The barons of '05 have made incessant and violent attemps to overthrow his rule and to abolish these laws, but as they have not been upheld by the other weak and faint-hearted classes, these rebellions have been invariably crushed. But they have not submitted, as is shown by the fre- quent outbreaks, and will never submit to such a condition of affairs. Oh, that the other classes would awaken out of their lethargy and stand by us! Oh, that they were inspired with that old spirit of resistance whose battle-cry is No legislation without representation. vC. E.

But he disappeared from this toil and care And so did his saying, This is manifestly unfair. Then a professor, named,Beatty, of John Hopkins' fame, Taught us his saying, Don't do that again. Also Miss Nesbit, whose classes had times, When she tried to teach about geometric lines. Mrs. Ritter then taught our Botany class, She soon let us know we were all green as grass. Mr. Hughes was a teacher better known as Pug, And Gilbert taught us his study, The Bug. Miss Greiner was known among us as Dutch, Did she teach us Latin? No, not much. Then Miss Woody, that beautiful lass Who wouldn't have some of the boys in her class. Next Mr. Skaggs, with hair shaded like brass, Soon got in trouble without loving class. Now Mr. Wallis rules as His Majesty, He is so fond of that Bull Dog Tenacity. He likes to make rules for us to obey, And your excuse is no good lest it bears his O. K. He has a class which meets In the gloaming, And among our scholars it causes much moaning, With his terrible frown, and his terrible way, He scares out the scrubs on their very first day. And we will not forget Wiley, the foot-ball star, With his terrible order You git to work thar. Miss McWhirter is a teacher who has a big brother, ' lf you don't know your Latin she will tell you Oh bother. To Miss Taylor, our hard English lessons we owe, Her favorite saying is, Don't you know? Miss Schmalhausen is a teacher who won't take back talk, lf you stay in her class you've got to walk chalk. Miss Slocum is a teacher whom we've never had, For that we are sure that she's most truly glad, Two men we have had, who were called just supes: They were high mucky mucks and ruled the whole roost. Wilkinson was first and he went abroad, And then thought what we had was nothing, but fraud. HELEN McGULLOCl-I-Heart on her lip, and soul within her eyes: soft as her clime and sunny as her skies. 1.

The Man was very earnest in trying to teach the class, but the class was not at all earnest in learning. The Man was very particular about assigning the lesson at the beginning of the recitation, and he was also particular that all should be perfectly quiet during the perform ance After the class was seated the Man started to assign the lesson To morrow we will begin at Just then Cotton pulled his feet with their No 10 shoes over the floor The noise closely resembled the rum H u,-I ,K - . . in . V 17 K . . . down to see whose feet were making the noise, but not a foot moved. so the little Man started all over when Beno's book went bang! on the floor. The Nlan stopped again and delivered a lecture on the evil of leaving books lying too close to the edge of the desk. After a while the Man began again and got about halfway through the assignment when Chicken asked to bor- row the Man's pencil. This was reluctantly surrendered with the admonition, Be sure to return it. Then Baby giggled because Peggy pinched her little finger and Mr. Man became mightily angry and spoke forcibly on the shallowness of the minds of the giggling girls. Finally the lesson was assigned, and Gert was reciting when Blackie ran up the blind and was told to leave the curtains alone unless he was given permission to touch them. Then Onie was found chew- ing gum and was requested to put it in the bucket. The Nlan evidently meant the waste basket and didn't see the point when everybody laughed. Then the warning bell rang and the Man used the remaining five minutes in trying to quiet the class. The class had lots of fun not reciting that year, but Oh! dear me! the Man gave the most dreadful examination. Then a good many of the class found out that: Of all sad words of tongue or pen, . The saddest are these 'l've flunked again.' 49 MARY BRUNERfWe see her charming but we see not halfg the charms her downcast modesty conceals.

The class work with dumb bells and Indian clubs has not been given as much attention as basket ball, over which the girls are very enthusiastic. We have two teams which play on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each Week. The teams are made up of seven girls, a center, three guards and three goal throvvers. Some of the girls are developing into good players and it is to be hoped that some day We may be allowed to play outside games. U May the G. A. A. of the M. H. S. have a long and prosperous future.

Athletics in the .. . ., T is now a settled fact that all surrounding towns must tal-te Mattoon into con- sideration when they hope to win either the inter-scholastic pennant or cap- . ' ture any higher honors on the foot ball field. Qi'-1 21.1 ' 1-33' ln 1904, Mattoon was a power in foot ball. During this season she had Jeff F11 the strongest team ever organized in the NI. H. S. Mattoon not only lost but one game that season, but accomplished the feat of beating our rival, Char- . 'e g .-,1 -I -if leston, on her own field, by the enormous score of 54 to O. Never ought the S eiji Mattoon supporters of foot ball forget that day, for not only was that the first time we ever beat Charleston on their own field but it was the only time we ever scored on them there. Mattoon played with a skill and dexterity that was surpassed by but few teams in the state. Champaign, the only team that beat us, thought they surpassed us but in reality it was the decision of the referee, which surpassed anything Mattoon had ever run up against before. Yes, Mattoon won the pennant at Charleston, May 5, 1905. lt appeared at first as if Tuscola had a clear field, but behold Mattoon. the team least reckoned to win anything, gradually forged to the front. Tuscola had a good team but we had a better one. Tuscola had a few good individual stars, but they had nothing that would com- pare with our men. Paris had a crowd of frenzied rooters but no athletes. Mattoon had early in the day gained several points through the efforts of the powerful Beltings, but the pennant looked far away until Bell won the hurdles, in the prettiest race of the day. and Arterburn won second in the running broad jump and Sayre second in the pole- vault. N But to the amazement of everyone Mattoon kept on and finished first in the relay race, after all the elbowing and shoving that the other runners gave the Mattoon men. 'Twas then that joy and exultation reached its highest point. Mattoon went wild and the green and gold was much in evidence, The rooters hugged each other from joy and carried their heroes from the Held, A As the sun set and the skies grew black with clouds, we left the Held, victors for the first time in years. 60 MR. FIDDLER Where did you get that vile squeak. 5 - lVl'ahlioo'n's success in the field and in foot ball is not to be attributed alone to the athletes but more to the good work of Mr. Wiley and Trainer Goodspeed. 1 Wiley brought the foot ball team to the front and Goodspeecl brought the track team to an equal standing. 1 Mattoon has ollten realized the necessity of a trainer, but never more so than now. Mattoon, your athletes are at the head of the list. Now see that they remain there.

At different times we -' 'fu ' T . . - received some few outside invitations. ln 1905. the contest was held at Arcola and the pennant was awarded the Charleston semi-chorus. The following year, 1904. Mattoon entertained her guests royally. The contest was held in the new Methodist Church, and again the Mattoon girls won the much prized and hard- worked-for pennant, which soon occupied a prominent position by the First, on the wall of the big assembly room. This year the meet was held at Charleston. At 10:50 the M. H. S. chorus girls, excused from studies, started for the noted little town and its theatre: but sad to say we were not to be admitted within the theater doors. After much persuading and parleying we obtained a few minutes practice. Mattoon won the championship of the athletic contest and great was the rejoicing. But victory was never won but by defeat and an event was to occur in that evening's contest which was to throw a damper on at least part of the rejoicings, for the pennant was awarded to the Charleston chorus, not, however, without the apologies of the judges. The following girls compose the semi-chorus of 1905?

To the girls who remain in the chorus, and to those who shall enter it, we leave the hope of winning fame next year. Heres to you, Semi-Chorus of 1906! B. D. Sa G.

No, this story is a modern, up-to-date affair, I Ji' ' having a setting and characters with which nearly every reader of the Green and Gold is very familiar, for the setting is in-but wait, I am getting ahead I . of my story. 'i i In the year 1905 in the High School of a certain city of Illinois, there I was quite a large enrollment. Among the many Winsome lassies and noble lads, any of whom would furnish ample subject for a narrative, were two who were especially interesting. Of course we cannot mention any names, so, for convenience, I will call my heroine Nannette Weakley, and my hero, Vincent Strong. Now Nannette had not climbed the hill of knowledge high enough to be very far advanced in her High School work, and did not seem to have a very great amount of ambition to go higher, She was rather a listless sort of a girl, liking nothing better than to get a real inter- esting novel and a box of I..owney's, and spend the evening ' 4 in their company, while her Latin book would lie unopened on ' I- 51 ' L the table near by. Often her friends would coax her to come and join the Gym and play on the basket-ball team, but she would only shake her head and ask them to stop their teas- X 1 ee i si Vincent Strong. our hero, was a broad-shouldered,1'ine- looking fellow, who had played on the foot-ball team two ' years and was always on the winning side. I-Ie had noticed Nannette Weakley several times with but a passing glance, but he felt no admiration for her 72 RALPH BOAZ-The lic of an action is greater than the lie of a word. S because of her pale cheeks, and lazy. lyes, lazy is the only word that will express itl her lazy ways. When the bell in the morning would ring, and the clear voice of Mr. Wallis would be heard in that familiar order, First hour classes, rise, pass! Nannette would say, O dear, how I hate to drag up those long stairs, day after day. I wish school was out anywayf' and then she would goto her class and look listlessly out of the window until she would hear her name called: then she would straighten up and say. What? Oh-h, I don't know. On the other hand, Vincent would mount the stairs with springing step, enter the class room with a cheerful countenance, and would take thorough enjoyment in his lessons, and although he was a little mischievous in class, he was always forgiven and was well thought of by his teachers. So the year passed. 'X 'X- Tr 'X 'X' 'X' 'lt 'X' 4+ it 94- 'K' -X- When Nannette finished her High School course, she decided that she did not care to goto a university, but would rather settle down to a listless young ladyhood. I-Ier father, who was a physician, was much worried over her lack of energy, and finally concluded that the best thing for her was physicaliculture, so he decided to send her away to one of the leading univer- sities. Nannette protested, but finally yielded K to her fathers wishes, and started on her car- : . eer as a university student the next autumn. I ' ' ' ' 4 She was much surprised and angered 45 to find that work in the gym was compul- ,Z sory. She rebelled, but it was useless, and fn- l l ' 2 , , A .J I so she started into it as a task and not a . pleasure, with indifference instead of vim. , After a little she felt much better, and she 'Z 2 began to take an interest in the work. Bye ZZ' x and bye she even became enthusiastic, and was one of the best players on the Varsity basket-ball team, and was also very popular with the students She often thought, Oh, how glad I am that I came to the University! 9?

The first said, l agree with you entirely, but after the game I want an introduction to that one with the black hair and the red hat. All right, Vint, Dick answered, You certainly shall have one if l can give it to you. But here the conversation ceased, for the two opposing teams have lined up, trim and ready forthe First half ofthe great game. The crowd holds its breath as the ball is kicked, then the rooters begin their thrilling yells and the pennantsrare waved wildly, and each indi- vidual forgets all but his interest in the outcome ofthe game. Now the first half is over, and the score stands O-O. All are impatient for the second half to begin, and intense excitement has the whole mass of people in its grasp. The inhabitants of the town where the game is being played are all fearful lest their home team will lose. But look, the teams are again in position, ready now to determine the victory one way or the other. Yells are given more energetically and the spectators rise enmasse, so eager are they concerning the result. Both sides have scored but now only two minutes more remain. Just at the last instant a goal is kicked, and the score stands ll-10 in favor of the home team. Such cheers as arise from the throats of those on the victorious side, and how frantically 74 NIANNING AVEY Beware of despairing about yourself. S colors are waved, and caps thrown in the air. The band strikes upa rousing march and the stars of the afternoon are car- ried off the field on the shoulders of many admirers. The colors of the defeated side disappear like magic, and no outbursts of - joy are heard on their side of the Field, as Q V K- . 3 they march dejectedly away. The two young men, Dick and Vint, start from the scene of battle together. Dick is hilariously happy, while Vint is very taciturn, feeling the defeat of the University keenly. Well, Dick, said he, I thought you were going to give me an introduction to that girl on the basket-ball team. O, yes, replied Dick, laughing, I declare, l was so happy about the outcome of that game that I clear forgot about such minor things as introductions. It's very evident, responded the other gloornily. ..Well, cheer up, old man, said Dick, I l K K I , heartily, All things come to those that wait. x , i i l f f ' A U There she is now, over there across the I 4 Q I I' 1 ails xl street.

S. Army three years ago this ,---N ' E n winter and we pitched our tents at Camp Mattoon, as that was to be our base , of supplies. As a pledge of our loyalty to our new duties our flag of purple V and white was soon floating above the camp. Our regiment was divided into Q cl' H two companies, A and B, and we received the most rigorous discipline, but 2-fl P . we. obeyed without a murmur even such orders as the following from the 1 - . leader of the commissary department: Keep to the right, When you go, r ,Eli 4 go as tho' you expected to get there before the winter sets in. Single file under all considerations. We were soon called into active service as our officers were not slow in discovering our unusual ability. Our first engagement took place on the plains of the assembly room where our troops were scattered and we came out unsuccessful, but we were not discouraged however as Company B soon reformed. Just at this time the English troops under Captain Skaggs made a sally. Being armed with the lofty ideas of Paradise Lost, they captured many prisoners. ' Soon after this, part of Company A was called away to reinforce the troops that were gallantly fighting under Major Gilbert. Armed with tin cans and bottles, heedless of the long march and ploughed ground, they advanced to the plain north of the tile factory, where they fought fiercely for the wild bacteria that they thought grew in the enemy's camp. As a result we were victorious, with none killed and only a few wounded. Elated over our recent victory we determined to attack 'Fort Geometry. Seeing the danger of her situation, Lieutenant Schmalhausen opened fire with her siege guns. As they were fired by the inductive method, they were aimed at a few individuals First and then swept down men generally on both sides, and few escaped without bearing more than one bullet wound. The peaceful shades of evening put an end to the flunking. The faculty now declared an armistice and all operations were discontinued for three months. Upon receiving this informa- tion we obtained furloughs, and those who were strong enough went to visit friends. When the three months had expired, we hastened to our posts determined to whip the 'Z7 FLORENCE SHINN-Thoughtless of beauty she was beauty's self. : v , 'UW .. f ' Time,-A faculty into submission. But we found upon going back that the faculty had not been idle all this time, but had been engaged in replacing siege machinery and strengthening Fort English. Seeing the power of their enemy they had entirely refitted old Fort Mathematics with rapid fire guns. The History breast works had also been thrown up to our left and the German infantry had been drawn up on the opposite side of Deutche Fluss. The enemy also had control of Cheat Bridge. All these things had been done after an armistice had been declared. We soon saw that we were outgeneraled and no other Way was open to us except to storm the works. The Hght commenced early in the morning with a charge on Fort German, which we captured after several days of laborious fighting. Our forces were then divided, the larger force crossed Deutche Fluss by ford while the smaller force charged Cheat Bridge. Cheat Bridge was soon taken and a shout went up from our lines and those guarding the rear now advanced and we marched toward the higher forts. The forts now opened Ere on our lines from all sides. Fort Mathematics hurled red hot shots in the shape of cubes, cones, prisms and pyramids, into our ranks, which were extremely hard to dodge successfully. The general notion of defeat was accurately expressed by a hasty retreat. Stores of mythical ammunition and fairy guns were left behind, Our forces were re- collected and brought to bear upon the remaining stronghold held by Major-General Ritter, with General Slocum second in command. We advanced with flying colors, but soon the guns of Fort Science hurled their deadly flunks among us. Our comrades fell on every side yet we pushed on. Some fled terrified from the field only to be captured and pressed into the service by the regiment of Sophomores. Our efforts were finally crowned with success and the Major-General was forced to retreat. At last our successful campaign in this educational war was closed and we retired to the seclusion of soldiers' homes for the summer to recuperate for next year's struggle.

' 4 The Mighty Seniors Why are the eyes red with weeping, Why are the hleads bent low? Who dares to ask such a question? For every one ought to know, That the glorious class of 1905 In a few shortweeks will go, Forever from the M. H. S. Leaving many a. look of woe. Teachers'll glance round the lonely rooms, Their eyes will be moist with tears, As they think ofthe noble class, Their care for these four years. It soon will be gone forever, Forever from under their sway, And they'll every one be sorry At the dawn of that dark day. For when we are departed, For evermore to stay, Who then will be the tardy ones, At school day after day? Who then will welcome the Scrubbies, With a snatch at collar or tie? Oh! you forlorn and forsaken, Tell good old times good bye. For life'll not be worth living, When no longer we grace the school. To always be in mischief, And to ever break the rule. For where in this assembly Is there more of such school pride That would get up a petition, For the seats on the southern side? But Scrubs, don't be discouraged, You'll get thro' safe with your lives, If you follow in the footsteps N Of the mighty, Naughty Fives. Just keep your eyes upon us, As you would a. guiding star, And if you work with vigor You surely will get there. SENTENEY-Would that the Gods the gift might gie us, to see ourselves as ithers see us. 7' W Srl And sometime in the future. Before your hair turns gray. You too may write a poem On the time when you go away. So dry your eyes, each Freshman, And calm your aching heart, For e'en the best of friends they say Will some day have to part. We'll soon be gone forever, Time may bear us far away, But the glories of our noble class With you shall always stay. And o'er the deep blue waters, Where'er that name is heard, From lowliest man to sovereign, Their hearts shall all be stirred. So here: to that glorious class, May we all say the same with pride. The noble class, the only class, The class of 1905. Oh may her glory never fade, Her fame ne'er cease to be Echoed from earth to heaven. Echoed from sea to sea. tex , Ji it -l i '- 1433 nrifl l PTI ff 1 , ff fl - yr .ar - I -3' Q 41 ,-fx gli I' ' 'ZW 3 ff' -V 's 1 ff? fi ia 7.

Many dings hat ve heard of dish school from our neighbors who lift in der country pefore ve moved to der city, und I, for one. vas quite sure dat - dish school vas py no means gute enough for our Hans, who had graduated from der German school down py der Big Creek. 22 ' , L, i1..n'J7' Hans vas a fine lad. und Katrina and me. ve vere proud of dat poy: pesides being a schmat poy he vas also gute looking, und efry von said dat he vas der very picture of his vater. Vile ve were dinking der matter over in our minds Katrina to me said, Now Heinrich, let me tell yous vat I tinks is der pest ding to do. Ve vill send Hans to der public school of Mattoon und see how it agrees mit him, und if right away he schraps mit der poys or fights mit der teacher, und ve dinks from his actions dat no knowledge he is learning, ve vill den expel him from dat school und take him to von which is petter. So I turned the matter over in my mind und I dinks mit Katrina dat dat vas der very pest ding to do, so on der next Monday morning prite und early, ve sent our own dear poy, Hans, to grapple mit der dangers of public life. Ve pought him some pooks vich der names I can't now rememper und efry night he prought some of dose same pooks home to read in. Von night I said to him, Hans, und vot be dat pook vich you are reading? Und he said to me, Schometry. Schometry! ach. vat nonsense dat school must be. I hat no schometry ven I vent to School. Und dat pook over dere? Phy5ic5? More trash. I tell you I hat most in my mind decided to take dat poy from such a school. Der next summer ve moved pack to der country agin, but Hans vent to school in der fall schust der same. Von summer ven Hans hat pen going to dish same school apout tree und a half years, he vas helping me to pring in der hay from der fields und ve hat den no vay vich to 81 RAY McGORNllCK-'Tis looking downward makes one dizzy, put. it in der parn unless ve pitch it in from der vagow, and I tought it too much verk would be. und vas vondering by vot vay ve could do it, ven Hans right avay hat tought of a plan, und der hrs-t you know ve vere loading dat same hay mit a pully vich he hat made by a rope und an old vagon wheel. Vell. I can't tell you how proud I vas of der genius of dat poy, und ven I asked him who told him of der vay to do it, he said he hat learned it in Pnvsics, at der High School. Vell I confess I vas surprised for ven I heard him talk apout his Physics, Schometry. Latin und so on, I did not see py vot good he could come in learning dat trash Of course I knew dat der Ger- man vas a gute ding. und now I am convinced dat der Physics is a gute ding, und I spose der rest must be too. Und besides, not one single ight or scrap did Hans into get all der time he vent to dat high public school. So you see I haf changed in my mind concerning dis public school life, und schust as soon as Fritz and Wilhelm old enough pecome, right away vill I send dem to der Nlattoon High School.

Standing there, he gently smoothed his hair as he waited for Jack. The thousands in the amphitheater were breathless. The man ran up to Jack and grasped his left wrist with his thumb and forehnger. The suspense was terrible. But only for a moment.

N ink ,Q ,A . ..,f, gn u ffwrfriif 1 After the Ball Was Over LTHOUGH still in his young manhood, Mr. Harlan. a handsome widower, was ' in dire distress on account of his fast thinning hair, He was a man who led a merry social life and was numbered among the guests of the Four Hun- ? 1 fe dred quite often. F57 ,E Q2-E, Fearing that the fast widening skating rink on the top of his head would V, W.-1, , be quite fatal to his hitherto good looks, he consulted a hair dresser in the U , ' . 1 - hopes that she could, by the use of her many articles, insure the growth of the , much needed hair. But alas! the answer was nay and the advice was to buy a wig. As the only way out of the dilemma he went straightway to the barber's and had his head shaved ofthe remaining scant locks. Then he donned a wig of luxuriant brown curly hair, and pro- ceeded to fulfill his social dates with smiling face and happy heart. All went well until one night after the last dance was ended, while he was walking the length of the ball room, with the most popular young lady in town on his arm, he passed beneath the lighted chandelier-a gasp-and looking upward he beheld, to his horror, his beautiful wig suspended in mid air. ' What the gay widower said, lam sorry to say, would not bear printing. He grabbed the now hideous wig and rushed from the room, pitching it at the hrst bald-headed man he met and vowing he would end his days with scant hair. But the accident was not fatal in all respects: the popular girl is now the wife of wigless Mr. Harlan. OL1vE HOENIG. '06.

The Scrubs they laughed, yet in a scare, The jolly Sophs they roared, The Juniors put off their looks of care, The Seniors they looked bored. Mr. Skaggs, in vain he ran The doggie for to catch, But, in a. race with dog and man, For dog there is no match. But up and down the aisles they ran A merry chase ran they, - And Skaggs caught hold of doggie's tail And threw him quite away. Then doggie uttered such a wail, As in the door One stood, That all the Scrubs grew very pale As the bravest Scrubbie would. No trace of battle could be heard Except a huge tee-hee! For Wallis, he did end it all As soon as soon could be, And never more from Fresh or Soph Came there that loud tee-hee! RUTH SPARKS, '05.
