HASS Text: Send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me; let them lead me unto thy holy hill and to thy tabernacles. — P sai.m 43:3. It is a good tiling to know well the world in which we live. It is no idle task for us to learn to know well our relation to the world of nature about us or our place in the succes- sion of generations of men. For it is only thus that we can use to the full the rich heritage left us by the generations that have been, or can do wisely for the generations which shall be. Nature will not be used in just any way that caprice may indicate. She has her own ways. Out of these she will not be coaxed nor bullied. We work in her way or we do not work with her at all. And our own age has its own significance. To try to read into it the significance of some past age or the supposed meaning of some age to come, is to work our destruction. Only by having a true setting for our lives, both from the material and the psychical standpoints, is it possible for our lives to be useful. Our lives must square with the universe about us: the universe of nature and of men. Those lives are legion in number which promised much because of native strength but which failed because their setting was untrue. So we will repeat — it is well for us to know well the world in which we live. 3 Annual So marked has been the effect upon humanity of a recognition of this truth, that the line of cleavage between civilization and barbarism is clearly seen to be drawn in relation to it. The people who learn to know the world in which they live are the nations who are in the van of the world’s life. They who do not know their world are straggling somewhere in the rear. And thus it has always been. The burden which has rested upon the world because of ignorance is simply incalculable. It is a tremendous loss for a nation not to know its soils or the particular phases of nature with which it comes into contact. It is a terrible thing for a nation to be dependent for its physical well being upon the physician who does not know. It is an awful bondage for a people to have as its lawmakers men who do not know history or economics. It is a terrible thing for a nation to have as its teachers men who are themselves untaught. It is an awful thing for a nation to have as its religious leaders men who are themselves lost in their superstitions. I or when these tilings occur, individuals, communities, and nations will find that somehow the powers of nature are working against them. In some waj or another, their labor comes to nothing. Even tho they do not understand the causes of their defeat, yet the defeat itself will be written large in their lives in mental and physical suffering. So the place of the school is fixed and sure in human life. It is well for us to train our senses to the limit of our powers, so that we may indeed see, and hear, and feel, taste, smell, and otherwise learn correctly. It is well for us to study the sciences that w 7 e may learn what progress other men have made and to conserve the gain unto the generations yet to come. It is well for us to train ourselves in the arts, that we may be skillful to use the knowledge which we gain. It is well for us to know history and the philosophy which history teaches, in order that we may be able to choose that which is worth while from t hat which is not. For we neglect these things to our own sorrow and to the sorrow of those who follow us. The nation which has ceased to revere its teachers will soon cease to pro- duce them. And the nation which ceases to produce its teachers will soon have no real leaders. And then intellectual darkness, gross and dense, settles on the land and men suffer unduly and labor in vain. But when all this is said and allowed life will teach us anoi tier lesson. It is that there is such a thing as devoting ourselves too exclusively to the world which lies about us and to our relation with, and thereby neglecting another world which lies within us. One hun- dred years ago the poet Wordsworth, who was to usher in a new age in English literature, was saying: “The world is too much with us: late and soon Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers. Little we see in nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon.” After a while, England awoke and made him, the seer, her poet laureate. Is it thus with us? A generation ago, Matthew Arnold, a mind of keen appreciations, traveled among us and said of us as he left our shores: “ America is too beastly prosperous. In one of his late books, Professor Muensterberg, who is at the head of the department of philosophy at Harvard University, writes thus: “ There is an uneasy feeling pervading our times that the age has lost its meaning.” Last year we greeted Professor Eucken, the renewer of Idealism in Germany, as a man with a new message when he told us that the philosophy and life of materialism was a delusion and a snare. Why should this be greeted as a new message? Why should there be any uneasy feeling pervading the life of our times? Are we not rich? Certainly. Are we not prosperous, when measured by material standards? To be sure. Is there any immediate danger of real material need? Not at all. Then why are some of our leading thinkers uneasy? Because they feel that for a large portion of our nation, life has lost its significance. For an important fraction of our people there is no longer any reason to do things or to get them done. There is no longer an apprecia- tion of our place or worth in the world. They have lost the sense of the worth of their 10 Annual souls. There is no longer a certainty that things are worth while. We know from the history of nations exactly what happens when a nation becomes a people of lost souls. The nation itself becomes a lost nation. No props will sustain it. No songs can cheer it. No thought can strengthen it. Its labor ceases. And with the labor it too ceases. From our own transient moments of despair, we may as individuals get a glimpse of the paralyzing effects of the doubt of life’s worth. In the moments when we give up the struggle, when hopes give way, the battle itself is stopped. For no one ever struggles valiantly after the sense of possible attainment is gone. As it is with individuals, so is it with whole nations ; which sheds light upon the fact that all the world’s republics have died rich. Tho wealth had increased, the power initiative was lost, and with this the power of advancement. Why? Because nothing seemed worth while any more. In order that life may have a meaning and shall be best expressed, it is first of all necessary that life shall be thoroughly charged with a high purpose. But that which always measures the strength of our purpose is our sense of the presence of God in life — in our lives and in others. A man coming into the studio of the artist Burne-Jones remarked to the painter: “I cannot see the beauty of that thing.” The reply of the artist was: “Do you not wish you could? ” This is only one of the evidences that not all persons can see the beauty of the many scenes which life presents to us. The beauty is there, but they have not the faculty of seeing it. At a recent concert given by Paderewski a man was noticed who was evidently drowsing. There was indeed beauty in the music; but the man had no ears with which to perceive it. There are a great many people who cannot appreciate the beauty of poetry. The beauty is there but they have not been trained to feel it. In all these cases, perhaps the persons in question did not have the opportunity to have trained in them the necessary sense with which to perceive the particular beauty involved. Opportunities are not alike to all people. It may be that they had not the patience necessary to stay by the task of development until it should have reached its maturity. In either case, something real and worth while was lost to them; something upon which the soul can lean for strength when it needs it. In like manner, there are undoubtedly persons who do not perceive the spiritual real- ities of the world. These realities are present and abide. But the sense by which they are perceived has never been developed, or it has been destroyed by the cultivation of opposite tendencies, or it has been allowed to atrophy and decay thru sheer neglect. A noted astronomer is said to have remarked: “ There is no God; I have searched for him with my telescope and there is no room for him.” The story taxes our credulity. It seems that no mature persons could speak thus. Almost any child in our Sabbath-schools could have told this astronomer that the God of whom we speak simply cannot be found in that way at all. A physician once told me that our praying seemed to him like talking at one end of a telephone with no one at the other end. In matters of medicine, this man was indeed to be trusted ; but in the matter of spiritual realities, he was as a babe. Another man was asked in regard to returning thanks at the table and replied: “ I do not believe in talking to my potatoes.” Now surely something is absent from these lives that other men have considered very much worth while. That for which Jesus waited all night long on the lonely mountain or in the desert place must surely have been a real thing to him — to him who stilled the tempest and made honest persons of publicans. Surely it was a real tiling in his life which the great King David was voicing when he wrote : “ The Lord is my shepherd ; I shall not want.” Surely it was a real thing to St. Cuthbert, the missionary to Scotland, who driven out of the country by the natives took to sea with his few followers. For when one of these latter remarked that now every path was closed, St. Cuthbert replied : “ There is yet one way open; the way upward.” Surely it was something real which William the Silent, ®tjr Atuttral Netherlands great hero, found to sustain him thru all the long years of the unequal struggle of his country with Spain. Sure it was a real thing of which John Stuart Mill writes thus to Carlyle: “ I have for years had the very same idea of Christ, and the same unbounded reverence for him as now;— which reverence was becoming, or was closely allied with all that was becoming, a living principle in my character.” And surely it was a real t ung which sustained the dying McKinley as he said: “ Nearer, my God, to thee; it is Ins will, not mine.” Surely they miss something who have not learned to perceive these realities foi themselves • It matters not in what capacity the worth of spiritual realities be tested; they will always be found to add strength to life. To see God in the cataract , and not to idly gaze upon the wonderful canopy of heaven by night, is to step across one of the marks of differentiation between the beast and man. To see God in the flowering fields is not a mark of weakness but of strength. It adds meaning to life. Rightly says the poet Tennyson: “ Flower in the crannied wall, If I could know you, all in all, I’d know what God and man is.” To see God in the destiny of nations is not to grow confused in thought but rather to think more clearly. As the historian reads across the centuries, it becomes clear to him that there are forces affecting human destiny which cannot be measured by material stan- dards. Somehow, the forces of truth, kindness, justice, patience, honesty, modesty have a large place in the development of nations. Their presence or absence is marked tremen- dously. For it is the personal life of the nation which makes it either weak or great. This is also true of the individual. Is conscience a mark of any individual life? Does he speak the truth? Does he insist hard ' upon what is right? Does he know how to dis- tinguish between the good and the better? Does he know how to suffer foi a piinciple? Has he faith, that is, does he know how to be disappointed and still go on? Can he be kind? Can he forgive? These and kindred questions measure the difference between men as surely as the scales, or the stopwatch, or the yardstick, or the stethoscope. Whether or not the man can stand up under such tests eventually means more for him and for the humanity of which he is a part, than any other measurements which can be made. And always life is teaching us that nothing makes for such moral greatness like personal com- munion with Almighty God. Whether or not such communion with God shall have a large place in our lives depends upon a personal culture of that sort of living. It is not a matter of chance, altlio the point of decision to take it up may have seemed so. It is not inherited, altlio certain greatness of soul is often passed on from father to son. It is not caught, altlio association with devout persons will give incentive to the personal culture upon which devotion depends. It is not gotten by training, altlio the child reared by the mother who prays and by the Sunday-school teacher has a distinct advantage in being often shown the manner in which such communion is begun. But the communion itself is a matter of personal choice and will. Some day it will dawn upon the individual soul that this is indeed worth the having. At that time, he must decide for himself whether he will seek it. Religiously we call such times the moments of decision in which the soul is born again. It comes to different persons in different ways; always the decision is demanded. The decision is never postponed with- out some loss. Never do spiritual forces which make for righteousness and leadership in righteousness among men come into any individual life unless the decision be in the affirm- ative. God never bestows his personal presence upon the unwilling recipient. My friends of the senior class, our schools have done much for you. Possibly they have done all they could do. Yet thruout your lives you will go on learning. Some of you will travel at a faster rate than others will go. But I think that all of you will go on. Upon your intellectual attainments will depend much of your worth to your age and your 12 QIt|p Annual country. But today I am praying for you something which the experience of humanity has shown to be worth much more than even intellectual greatness. I am praying for you greatness of soul. I am praying for you the power to perceive clearly the presence of God in your lives and in the world. I want you to thrive in heart. Hitherto, your homes, your friends and your churches have done much for you religiously. You have reached the time in life when nearly all your growth will depend upon you and upon your decision. I pray for you that it may be a really large growth. I want the sense of God to be deep in your lives, so that, whether the barks of your lives are carried far out into the stormy seas or drift quietly into some sheltered haven, the voyage of life itself may always be safe for you. May you never lose the presence of your true pilot, who is God. May his will be your chart by which you shall steer. And when the voyage is at last at an end, may you see Him as friend sees friend, face to face. ©fj? Annual 13 ALFRED T.

The girls were flitting about, playing “ drop the handfierchie ; the boys, yelling and screaming, were “ cracking the whip,” while here and there a group of timid lads stood watching them with wistful eyes. At the furthest corner of the yard, seated on the boaid fence under the aged weeping-willow, another group was holding consultation just as Ye had done so many times before. A feeling of homesickness came over me, and for old times sake I crossed the lawn, climbed up, took my former seat on the top board, and leaned comfortably back against the tree, as the last child disappeared thru the school door. Everything became quiet, and my thoughts wandered back to the recess hours of my child- hood days. In the midst of our fun, Miss Smith always came down the back steps and tapped her bell. Then we reluctantly formed in line and marched back to duty. It was in that same building that we made our first papier-mache maps and expressed our gratitude to our Pilgrim fathers by giving John Alden and Priscilla dialogues, ending the program by devouring big dishes of pop-corn. After four years of faithful work we left our old home, took up our abode in the high-school building, and, in our struggle with long division, forgot the days of slates and watei’-bottles. Patient Mi’s. Meyer took us under her wing, and with her motherly kindness guided our young feet for two years, then gave us over to the protection of Miss Drake. Under the instruction of Miss Tebbits and Miss Warren we learned to repeat such poems as, “ Breathes there a man with soul so dead? ” and to sing the pretty little lullaby, “Sweet and Low.” The next year was one of many experiences. Upon entering the seventh grade Miss Anna Martin took us in charge; but on account of poor health she was obliged to give up her task. A recent high-school graduate came to our rescue and acted as substitute until another teacher in the person of Miss Durler was procured. The months rolled by, and the week before the semester examinations found us without a teacher, for our last instructor had secretly disappeared, carrying with her many of our grades. We finished the year under the supervision of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Carlton. Like a flock without a shepherd we had gone astray, following the primrose path of idleness and ease ; but Miss Wheatley soon led us back to the straight and narrow way. In fact, we became so diligent, and possessed of the spirit of helpfulness, that each and every one built a neat little home for the comfort of some feathered songster. At the end r ' lie year about thirty of us graduated into high school. After our Promotion Exercises we put away childish things ; the girls did up their hair and pieced down their dresses, while the boys bought brand-new suits with full-length trousers. We felt convinced that we were a most welcome addition to the High School, for we were received with loud applause and allowed to sing, “ Vive la Medina High ” at our first assembly period. Yes, and we have increased in popularity and numbers each succeed- ing year. When we were Freshmen we added to our class enrollment the names of Hettie Gill, Evelyn Krieger and Harold Harrington. Ruth Ferriman and Faye Sims became members of our Sophomore class; and when we were Juniors Elizabeth McDowell and Ralph Annual IB Harrington decided to cast their lot with us. We have acquired such reputation thruout the county that this year Arthur McQuate and Carl Woodward, graduates oj Litchfield and Sharon respectively, asked permission to come to M. H. S. for the express purpose of graduating with our class. To be sure, with all these additions we are only twenty-two in number, hut we think quantity is so insignificant beside quality. For instance, we have a poetess, a Biblical authority, a jester minus cap and bells, a doctor, a fashion plate, an inspiring and aspiring musician, active Y. M. C. A. workers, disciplined cadets, sturdy foot-ball men, enthusiastic base-ball players plus rooters, and truly brainy as well as brawny fellows. It is with a feeling of regret that we are leaving our friends, and, as we separate, following different paths in life, we shall always cherish fond recollections of those happy days spent in dear old Medina High. A tapping bell and a crowd of noisy, carefree children aroused me from my dreams. I jumped from my perch and quickly slipped away, reproving myself for even imagining our class to be superior to any other. Animal 10 QUuhh tRbynu ' BY RUTH BEATRICE FERRIMAN We’re just about to say goodbye To our Alma Mater, Medina High. As we come out from ’neatli her wing We’re wondering what the years will bring. We all are sure to do something great; Nothing else can be our fate! But before we spread our wings to fly Please wait to hear me prophesy. Just look at Doc Damon over there; Already he has a professional air ! Prom his patience now, patients will come. Watch him! He will be going some. Here’s Bennett, the leader of our band, Who, I predict, will turn out grand ; And when his name heads the scroll of fame, How glad we’ll be that lie’s ours to claim. Sober and quiet, demure Clara Penn Seems as shy as a little brown wren ; But really, she is just full of life, And will make some man a dandy wife. Here are jolly Flo and laughing Lizz; When they take hold, things have to whiz; Where’er we are, when we hear their voice In spite of sorrow our hearts will rejoice. Cole, you say? Oh, he’ll win fame! No doubt he’ll invent an aeroplane. His studious mind and industrious hand We know will accomplish something grand. Emery Fisher’s our funny man. He’ll always do the best that he can To drive away our grief and sadness, And fill our hearts with joy and gladness. Harold Harrington knows how to write, In this, as all else, lie’s certainly bright. In years to come we’ll read his stuff, And never be able to get enough. 20 Gllje Annual We’re proud of tall fair Geraldine. Sometime surely she will be seen Rivaling her namesake, G. Ferrar, As a blazing operatic star. Ralph already has won his name, And he’ll continue to win more fame As long as he cleverly draws the bow, And sweetly makes the music flow. Gardner too we all have seen, A bright star of the foot-ball team; And as he there kept up the strife, Just so he’ll play his part in life. Carlton will till the soil, they say, In a thoroughly scientific way. We ' ll call on him when we plan an “ eat;” He’ll surely give his old classmates a treat. Sims and Shane and Sidney High Will win their laurels by and by. They’ll climb the heights tho others fail; Their faults, we’ll ne’er have cause to wail. Our Evelyn Kreiger and Hettie Gill Will guide the children up Wisdom Hill. But alas, to marry her homliest beau Is the dismal fate of pretty Maude Lowe. Adams with his violincello Will make music, sweet and mellow, And his voice we’ll often hear In the village choir, near. Don’t forget Woodward and Arthur McQuate. We’re sorry they entered our class so late, With their music and cheer. Indeed, it’s clear For them no future we need to fear. Of myself I have little to say, Only this in a humble way : What’er my lot of work may be My duty clear I’ll try to see; Often my thoughts will turn to you all And the pleasant hours and joys recall. Then life will be more bright and clear For the happy days together here. This small class of twenty-two I promise you will aim to do The best they can in quiet ways, Nor duties shirk for want of praise; And as the days grow into years With hopes and joys and many fears, I trust Medina High “ Fourteen ” May ever be in memory green. ®ljr Annual 21 Senior Qllaaa tatiatira f. BY EMERY FISHER The Class of 1914 consists of eight girls and fourteen boys. It makes no record as to size, but it does contend that for quality it lias never been approached by any of its pred- ecessors. It has been experimented upon pedagogically by no less than thirty teachers, thirteen in the grades and seventeen in the high school. Miss Schmidt and Miss Beech are the star performers, for they are still alive after three years of service in its behalf. The youngest member of the class is Emery Fisher; the bantam weight is Geraldine Canavan, who, with a little help, can tip the beam at 113 lbs. Fred Adams has fought his way to the top by means of copious draughts of cold water, and now weighs 187 lbs. The combined weight of the whole twenty-two is over one and one-half tons. The average weight is 139 lbs., which is also the exact weight of Faye Sims and of Ruth Ferriman. The Class “ Skyjack ” is Harold Harrington, who looks down upon the others from the lofty height of six feet; the shortest is Evelyn Kreiger, who measures only five feet and three inches. Florence Thatcher is the tallest girl; Emery Fisher the shortest boy. Where we do bear away the palm is in the size — of our feet, although the author refrains from any personal remarks on the subject. Last fall we had eight men in the foot-ball squad, including t lie captain, and we now have four men out for baseball. Although we have not furnished as many men for athletics as last year’s braggarts, the quality of our delegates puts us far ahead of all others. Political feeling runs high amongst us. Sid High, as “ Teddy ” has five followers, while Bennett and Shane as Wilson and Bryan lead a delegation of six Democrats. We have also two “ Standpatters.” Among the girls there is a continual see-saw of hair-pull- ing and ear-chewing, for four are Suffragettes and four are Anti’s.

S. class of 1915 today one would scarcely recognize the care- free band of Freshmen who, in the fall of 1911, for the first time entered our magnificent educational structure as high-school pupils. Last but not least were we; for we entered with the overpowering number of seventy-seven, the largest class ever enrolled in M. H. S., and we were justly proud of our record. During our Freshman year we were faithfully watched over and cared for by Miss Sellers, who shared with us our first experience in M. H. S. Our idea of High School was to have our own way and a good time. The former was somewhat interfered with during the year, but vve carried out the latter to its highest degree, for we successfully “ pulled o ff ” five class parties and planned several others. Our high scholastic attainments were few and far between and can be found only by the most minute examination of ancient grade books, and our literary efforts are indeed “ gone but not forgotten,” as is likewise the splendid banquet at their close. At the end of this never- to-be-forgotten year we bade farewell to our noble superintendent, Mr. Carlton, to our patient instructor, Mr. Shade, to our coach and teacher, Mr. Beach, and hesitated between tears and smiles when we learned that our much-lovecl English teacher, Miss Beech, was to leave us for a year. We had now closed a year of high-school life, and, being the largest (Hlje Attttual 25 class in the High School ever known in Medina, we felt that we had played an important part in the world’s current events. At the beginning of the second year perhaps the “ gayest ” bunch of “ young ” Sopho- mores that ever crossed the threshold entered the assembly room to meet and greet Miss O’Connor and with her help hold down this solemn chamber through the year in which we rounded the second curve of our course. This year we also welcomed to our midst our superintendent, Mr. Edmund, Miss Crockett, and Miss Swisher. Though perhaps less violent, our gayety was not in the least diminished, and came to a grand climax in the High School ball given in March at the suggestion of the Sophs. Now with a start of surprise we discovered that our race was half finished and that we were already Juniors. On entering this year we left behind us our first guardian Miss Sellers (who decided that she liked our fair city but, though remaining in it, preferred to alter her name and occupation), our principal, Mr. Smith, and Miss Swisher; but in their stead came Miss Feeney, Miss Beech, Mr. Stear, and Mr. Godlove. On Miss Beech’s return we persuaded Mr. Edmund that she really needed our care and protection and so she has spent the year with us in “ our little room down stairs,” bearing with us our trials and tribulations and helping us in all our tasks from beautifying our room with ferns and flowers to elevating our minds with Shakespeare, Homer, etc. We have had fewer “ doings ” this year than in those preceding, but it has been no less enjoyable; and when its door closes we shall all feel that one of the most memorable years of our life has been shut behind. In these three years of high-school life we have been taught by fourteen different teachers, Miss Schmidt being the only one who has been with us all the time. From seventy- seven our number has diminshed to forty-one. Many and varied are the reasons for its decrease; some have been called from us for more important business, others have moved to different towns, and still others on account of convenient nervous breakdowns have been compelled to seek more quiet and healthful surroundings. In athletics we have never failed to furnish the teams with representatives worthy of praise, while the rest of us shouted ourselves hoarse from bleachers and side-lines. And now “ not at the top but climbing,” the class of 1915 stands ready to start down the home stretch as grave and reverend Seniors. SOPHOMORES 0% Atutual 27 SQPflQMQRE iihstnrg BY FAYE FENTON Considering ourselv ' es from every point of view we appear to be a very hearty class of youngsters. When school opened last September our enrollment was as follows Earl Arick Helen McDowell Faith Anderson Ancel Mann Dudley Borger Owen Nixon Ray Bishop Lue Rawlings Alice Best Dorothy Rex Fred Bohley Florence Rex Irene Beedle Dwight Shepard Pearl Canavan Max Sargeant Thomas Ferriman Oretta Shaw Paul Friedel Raymond Treffinger Faye Fenton Ruth Turner Albert Gill Everett Warren Gladys Hyde Beulah Wallace Mary Humphrey Helen Webber Avonell Handchy Bessie Walker Ruth Hoddinott Ellen White Alice Ivehren Elon Wheeler Andrew Long Lloyd Leatherman Raymond Case 28 Annual A glance at last year’s Annual shows that our original Freshman number was forty- seven. Many of these are gone, and at the present time we boast only thirty-five; for Raymond Case and Lloyd Leatherman dropped out about the middle of the year. When we came into this High School in 1912, the Board of Education, realizing that an exceptional class was entering, made every effort possible to provide for our comfort. They carried this careful consideration to the extent of putting Miss Pearl Sellers, now Mrs. Wm. Hammerschmidt, in charge of our room. That first year was a sad one to us for at every turn some Junior like Fisher was continually scaring us, or hitting us with a wooden eraser. That is all changed now. You ought to see how we make those “ Eighth Grade Freshmen ” “ walk chalk.” They even shine our shoes and brush our clothes with- out our bidding. We have our Best girl always with us. Our Faith never falters. We learned in Latin that rex means king; so we rejoice that we have two scions of royalty amongst us. We have a Shepard to watch our flock, a Sargeant to drill us, a Leach to cure us; in fact, we will not Hyde from you that we consider the Class of 1916 the bright and shining light of old Medina High!

During the year, Inez Brockway came into our class. In our second year several were promoted into the third grade, and, at the same time, Margaret Borger and Amy Slater entered the class. The following year, Lester Campbell and Harold Baque were added to our number, but several others were taken from us so that the total remained nearly the same. The year after, our last in the primary grades, we lost several of our former classmates, but none which are now with us entered the class at that time. 30 Annual In the fifth grade, Welthene Fenn and Ethel Sprankle joined ns. The next year we went to the High School building for the first time, having been in the I. 0. 0. F. Temple the previous year. Elizabeth Branch and Raymond Bennett entered that year, but as usual we lost several others. During our seventh year eleven pupils left their former class for ours. The names are as follows : Mahlon Walker Helen Hunt Marie Hurlebaus Harold Hedges Gladys Shepard Derwin Nettleton Mabel Thompsett Not all of the above came to stay, however, as we have only six of them with us now. In our last year in the grades we began school in the High School building, but soon moved to the newly finished Garfield building. That year also a large number joined the class : Ruth Gill Ruth Gilbert Bryan Case Zola Turner Floyd Baylor Harold Waite Bryan Gray In the spring we were saddened by the death of Floyd Baylor. During our eight years in the grades we had three superintendents: J. R. Ivennan, C. C. Carlton, and W. S. Edmund. Our regular teachers not already mentioned were Miss McDougall, Miss Tubbs, Mrs. Wright, Miss Warner, Miss Lacy, Miss Drake, and Miss Wheatley. The September after our graduation from the eighth grade we found our way into the Freshman room where Miss Feeney was given charge of us. As had happened once before a large number left their former class of school for oui’s. Three of them, Neal Rosbon, Gertrude Sprankle and Paul Taylor, have since left school, and one, Wilbur Arick, denies that he is a Freshman although he prefers to sit in our Freshman room. All through our school life our classmates have been constantly changing until now very few of the original group remain. At the end of our Freshman year we have the following fifty members : Margueritte Simmons Welthene Fenn Dewey DeWitt Florence Carlton Ruth Carlton Marie Hurlebaus Jeanette Chidsey Edith Barry Glen Woolridge Raymond Bennett Lester Campbell Seymour Hoddinott Ruth Gilbert Franklin Elder Harold Waite Velma Carlton Mahlon Walker Mabel Thompsett Irene Bostwick Metta Dell Green Walter Coleman Ethel Chidsey Dale Coons Derwin Nettleton Zola Turner Leland Longacre Amy Slater Elizabeth Branch Oral Watt Ethel Sprankle Kathryn Bartholomew Harold Baque Wilbur Arick Rena DeMay Luella Kern Letha Wightman Elizabeth Hass Beatrice Smedley Margaret Borger Ruth Bartholomew Leo Bartunek Esther Hoff Ruth Gill Bryan Gray Howard Stanley Wynne Boyden Henry Hass Bryan Case Inez Brockway Margueritte Simmons Let us hope that each one may safely finish his course and receive his diploma. Irene Bostwick Claude Snyder Pearl Coen FRESHMAN FRESHMEN B Amutal 33 Jfrpaljnmt Iftatory Most of the class of 1918 have the proud distinction of having begun their existence with the twentieth century. When five years of our life had been spent, we started to kind- ergarten under the direction of Miss Ella. There we learned, after many hard trials, to build sand castles and mold clay into different models. Some of the original class consisted of the following: Walter Leach Eleanor Wright Percy Fenn Esther Wertz Marian Fisher Helen Bigelow Edna Swain Vesta Johnson Max High Pauline Griesinger As we went through the Primary and Grammar grades most of us displayed the usual ability, but our exceptions were the precocious personages of Professors Kellogg and Clement, the latter a suffragist. We finished our Grammar grade career under the careful guidance of Miss Wheatley, from whom we learned not only some of the mysteries of arithmetic and the other “ necessities,” but also that it is a sin to shoot paper wads, and to chew gum. Don’t forget that we were the first class to graduate in January, after having galloped through a year’s work in four and one-half months’ time. After the harrowing experiences of initiation, we started our topsy-turvy journey through High School with the following enrollment : 34 (Htj t Atttutal Lillian Barfoot Joseph Bartholomew Louis Bartholomew Raymond Bennett Ruth Boyden Royal Brockway Delight Hart Lawrence Hoff Edwin Kellogg Walter Leach Leland McDonald Blake Munson Delphia Ritter Dorothy Clement Myron Curtis Welton Ferriman Marian Fisher Ray Gardner Pauline Griesinger Ruth Robinson Harold Thatcher Isabelle Warner Bessie Warner Elmer Warren Lucile Winters Eleanor Wright We have a “ Bud ” (Munson, who is 3 ft.) and a “ Flower ” (Gardner, who is 8 ft.) and are ever kept merry by Cherry (Bennett).

We wish to express publicly our sincerest gratitude to our kind friends who have opened their hearts and their homes that we might have pleasant places in which to meet, and who have expended their time, labor, and money to make the evenings enjoyable.

Then after some deliberation he again resumes his seat and opens the volume. Finally with firm resolve written all over his manly features he slams the book shut, het up and strides to the telephone. He hesitates, and then jerks the receiver from the hook. “ Hem-hem, give me 4-3-2-GIv, if you please.” His heart is pounding like an old steam engine. His voice almost leaves him. “ Yes, yes, hello ! Who is this? ” “ Oh — why — Is Mary there? ” “ Well, may — may I talk to her? ” His hands are shaking so hard that he can hardly hold the receiver. “ Oh, hello, is this you, Mary? ” “ It’s a nice day, ain’t it? ” “ Yes.” “ Say, where were you today? I didn’t see you at school.” “ Gee, that was too bad.” A long silence follows in which Sidney’s mouth commences to feel like the Sahara desert. “ Say, Mary, do you know they’re going to have a pie social at the school house to-night? ” Now is the critical moment; he summons all his courage to his aid. “ Don’t you want to go with me? ” “ Well, I’ll be round at your place at 6 :30.

You would pooh-pooh a ghost story if it was told in broad daylight, but I dare say that if you heard the same story out beside the dying embers of a camp-fire, with the b laze casting flickering shadows on the moaning pines, you would have a different, and perhaps a more hair-raising, conception of the tale. The medium’s room where we met was without light, except that which came in through the door that led to a darkened corridor, and after fifteen of us had arrived Annual 45 — Maclame Sure never allowed more than fifteen in one of her seances — the door was closed and the apartment became pitch dark. (She said that she could not control the spirits if there was any light present.) When finally, after saying the Lord’s Prayer and singing “ Lead, Kindly Light,” all became so silent that I wanted to choke my watch for ticking so loud, a ghostly moaning voice broke the hush with the words, “ Is there an Elizabeth Aonman among you? ” The spirit of her mother is waiting to be heard.” I heard a half-sob at my right and a young lady, whom I had noticed as wearing mourning when she entered, feebly responded. A faint quavering voice issued from somewhere, “ Ah, Bess, ’t is you. How I have longed to speak to you and tell you not to sorrow for me. 1 am happy here in the spirit world, for each day 1 watch over you.” The voice continued and admonished her daughter to go to mass and above all to attend seances regularly, that she might speak to her. One after another was spoken to by some deceased relative and 1 began to think of going. In a moment of silence, like a cloudburst from a clear sky came the words, u Is Lawrence Cole here?” My heart leaped to my throat. If some one had knocked every breath out of my body I could have replied about as well. 1 managed, however, to whisper a faint “ Yes,” and waited. The voice came from somewhere in the front of the room. “ 1 am your great-grand- father, whom you have never seen. For more than sixty years, I have tried to get into communication with some one whom I might trust. Long ago, when your mother was but a child I withdrew from the bank, without the knowledge of any member of my family, a sum of $6000. There had been rumors for months that the bank might fail and I was determined to make some provision for my loved ones. I took the money, which was in three sacks, and after all had fallen asleep that night, I buried it along with my will, under a big boulder in the pasture, just west of the barn. Afterwards I took my spade and pick back to the tool house. When I was but a little distance away, something seemed to grip my throat, a mist came over my eyes, and I fell to the ground. In falling I struck my head on a rock at the edge of the path, and there breathed my last. If you will go to the big boulder now you will find the gold. God speed you, my son. Farewell.” The voice was gone. Immediately the room filled with light, and I knew the seance was over. I rubbed my blinking eyes, donned my cap and took a car for the Suburban station. I had visions of wealth easily earned; but I was soon to be disillusioned. When I told it to Mother I was fairly laughed out of the house. Her grandfather had died of pneumonia, and had never lived on a farm. So this is the first time I have told the story. But a theme is a theme, and, rather than go without, I determined to let the secret out. BY HAROLD HARRINGTON Ever since this earth has been covered with enough suitable material to make war interesting, there has been conflict. Battles great and battles small have been fought between men; some with holy reasons, some wth unholy reasons, some with just reasons, some with unjust reasons, some against fellow-men, some against beasts, some against the wild elements. No, not a nation can be found which has enjoyed the ignorance of war. But in our peaceful country the pugnacious element is reduced to a minimum, although in certain people certain characteristics show up which indicate the warlike spirit inherent in the race. 4fi Annual In the course of the world’s history we find, in a simple country community, two boys, who, for a short period, were seized with the fascinating desire for war. They drew their plans; they fashioned their artillery; they placed their redoubts. They saw ahead the repetition of Gettysburg but they were destined to a second Waterloo. There was nothing unusual in the local atmosphere this first day of July when our friends were entertaining their warlike mood. The rising sun promised an ideal summer day. The gentle breeze, conveying the pleasant odor of the clover plants and swaying to and fro the golden wheat, did not give any special encouragement to the idea of battle. Why not use this fine day in a more pleasant 1113111101 ' “? Why mar the cheerfulness of the morning with the sorrows of war? No, they had set their purpose; they would carry out their plan. They retired to the woodshed for preparation, and, after a deal of consultation, appeared at the orchard gate, equipped for battle. Their artillery consisted of two well carved shingle paddles, a large jug half filled with water, and a long willow pole. Column right, forward march ! and they are off across the orchard, which does not yet supply them with an inducement to tarry, thru the cornfield where roasting ears are yet to come, and arrive at their point of attack in the open havfield which has been recently cleared of its summer crop. They look at each other with an air of dignity and point to an insignificant spot on the ground which would be ordinarily mistaken for an overturned stubble. With the jug in place a few feet from the spot the younger warrior at his elder’s command lightly touches the place of attention and in immediate response a savage bumblebee comes forth to accept the challenge for battle. By the dextrous handling of the paddles this gentleman is escorted to the mouth of the jug where he willingly retires to an unknown fate. Again the enemy is disturbed and again forth comes a single warrior, confident of waylaying the oppressor. But one at a time would never do. Such infrequent slaughter was not enough to satisfy the cold hearts of these determined fighters. They were in for war and it must come quickly. A sharp punch with the pole into the rebels’ nest brought about the desired result. From the ground arose a mass of bees spreading in all directions, much in the form of a miniature volcano. They beheld the marauders and maneuvering their entire force in that direction gave vent to battle royal. In response to the attack, paddles were swung viciously to and fro, and bits of shat- tered air flew wildly about. Two large straw hats served both as ensigns and reserve artillery. The bees attacked the young gallants at every corner, at ankles, on hands, ba k of the neck and on the nose; not one opportunity was given them to surrender or retract. The situation became more and more unsettled; what was the proper thing to do“? They tried to think, at the same time jumping several feet in ti e air and waving their arms like discontended and rebellious pendulums. Conclusions were scarce, but finally as awakening from a trance they swept across the field in the hope of finding some distant place wherein these terrible insects could not exist. Down thru the bright cheerful cornfield their retreat leads them. Dinner bell simul- taneously ringing tells the presence of an important hour. Important ! Not enough to cause these ambitious warriors to discontinue their employment. But on and on, over hills and thru valleys their mission bids them follow. The cows reclining in the pleasant shade of a clump of maples reminded them of the rest they so desired and the glories of war died out while the virtues of peace shone brightly. Not long could their minds dwell on this subject for they must find retreat from their fearful enemies. Ahead was a thicket of elder underbrush. It seemed, in the minds of our young friends, to have been put there by the hand of fate for their deliverance. Surely beyond this barrier could no vile insects live. A leap, a crash, and we must transfer our camera to the other side. Rolling, bumping and tumbling down a steep grassy hill migrated Annual 47 our heroes in their newly discovered world. A splash and they floundered in a shallow pond. Thoroughly soaked they came out of the water but met no enemy. They here found peace and have since kept it. iimiiiiiimimmiimiiiiiiimiii lEtums ubrr bit Snttsrljr £ prarljr BY EVELYN KREIGER Die deutsche Sprache ist ein sehr interessantes und vorteilhaftes Studium. Es gibt viele Ursache dafur: Die Gesehichten, die man in den deutschen Klassen best, sind beinahe alle interessant. Zum Beispiel, wer hat u Immensee ” nicht genossen? Hatten wir alle nicht Reinhardt und Elizabeth gern, und waren wir alle nicht traurig als Elizabeth Erick lieiratete? Diese Gesehichten werden alle von den besten Yerfasser geschrieben und deshalb sind einige der Gemme der deutschen Literatur. Obgleich wir “ Das Lied von der Glocke ” nicht sehr genossen haben, doch ist es Schillers beruhmtestes Gedicht, und enthielt viele schone und lehrreiche Gedanken. Es gibt nocli andere Bucher die wir gelesen haben, die lelirreich sind. “ Wilhelm Tell ” zeight uns vieles von der Geshichte Deutschlands und von der Bedingung des Yolkes. Das Lesen von solchen Buchern als “ Im Vaterland ” und “ Gluck Auf ” gibt uns die Sitten und Gebrauclie des deutschen Yolkes sowohl die Marchen und Aberglaube desselben. Tn dem Studium von soldi einem Buehe wie “ Bilder aus der Deutschen Literatur ” finden wir viele Geschichte und Gedichte, die sehr gut und interessant sind. Lines Gedicht, das mit viel interessiert, ist “ Mignon ” von Goethe. Dieses Lied ist ein Teil von Goethes Buch “ Wilhelm Meister.” Wilhelm Meister, der Held, findet ein Kind, das ihn, unter einer Gesellschaft von Seiltanzer, sehr viel anzieht. Einmal als der Herr der Gesellschaft sie selling, wurde Wilhelm zornig und er kaufte das Kind. Ihm Avar sie sehr dankbar und tat alles fur ihn das sie konnte. Ihr Vaterland war Italien, und als sie nocli sehr klein war, wurde sie von ihren Eltern gestohlen. Jetzt erin- nert sie sich ihrer prachtigen Heimat und des goldenen Landes wo alles sclion sei. Sie wollte da sein und so sang sie das Lied das so sclion ist und das bei T ielen Leuten so Abel bedeutet. “ Kennst du das Land, avo die Citronen bluhn? ” Also habe ich Deutscli gern weil es mir geholfen hat; weil es ein wichtiges Studium ist; und weil es interessant ist. 4B ®l|c Amutal She Jog (Enluuut it 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii If while perusing the pages of this department you should happen to meet something familiar, please, out of sympathy toward the editor hereof, do not let the fact be known.

Any one who leaves the doors of our educational institution with a diploma under his arm may, without exception, he looked upon as a perfect gentleman and one who is thor- oughly trained in etiquette. A certain alumnus was milking one night, and after having finished with two or three cows Avas called from the barn. Upon returning, having forgot- ten where he left off, he sat down to one of the animals he had already milked. On discov- ering his mistake he gracefully arose, and with hat in hand, exclaimed, “ Oh, I beg your pardon.” (Mallet Creek papers please copy.)

THE SENIOR He failed in Latin, flunked in French, We heard him fiercely hiss, “ I’d like to find the man who said, That ‘ Ignorance is bliss.’ ” OUR HIGH SCHOOL RAG The ink-smeared towel hanging in the Chemistry Lab. It is self-evident that our superintendent’s esthetic mind seldom travels in musical channels. He was informed over the ’phone by Director Harrington that the High School Orchestra would play Sextette from “ Lucia ” at the Teachers’ Institute, but it appeared on the programme as “ Side-Lights from Lucia.” Dudley B. : — Gladys, isn’t it a shame that this is the last evening I can be with you until tomorow evening? In the Spring a young man’s fancy; — you bet he is. Look at Emery Fisher, for instance. Paul S. : — The biggest roughnecks always get the prettiest girls. Elizabeth M. : — Now you are trying to flatter me. Annual 50 DUD BORDER’S SERENADE As Harrington needs more shortness, As Cole must needs be tall, As Dr. Fritsch needs hill tops From off of which to fall, As we all need more daylight, As Long a longer shoe, As Faye Sims to be snow-bound, That’s how I need you. We are informed by an exceptionally brilliant young English student that Beowolf is the longest “ epidemic ” poem in the English Literature. To Faye Fenton, alias Billy Brag: Some men are born for greatness, and others merely a swell-head. Miss Beech: — Explain the allusion to “ The Royal Touch ” in the Life of Johnson. Howard Warner: — When the King gave Johnson a pension. Only good-looking persons are to read this: •papaouoo os aq uppiOM p As a rule a Freshman is about the most gallant person to be found; but things appar- ently have undergone a radical change. A certain chunky little Freshman has laid aside all social rules and customs. He asked a charming young classmate of his to attend a class party with him, and, much to her sorrow, she consented. He failed to pay her carfare, or even purchase her some chewing grim, and it became necessary for the poor thing to prevail upon the charity of a friend, who supplied the unfortunate one with a sufficient amount of funds to meet the expenses. Note: — Concerning the authenticity of this item consult Miss Marion Fisher. Geraldine: (Completing a German translation) “ They fell into each other’s arms and kissed each other.” Miss Schmidt: (Asking her to continue with the translation) “ Let’s have some more, Geraldine.” Absence makes the grades grow rounder. The misunderstanding of words frequently causes strange answers. “ Skinny ” Ben- nett had been taught that Socrates had a wife who was unpleasant to him, and that the great philosopher drank hemlock. When Miss Crockett asked him the cause of Socrates’ death, he replied : “ Socrates died of an overdose of wedlock.” Yes, words may sound alike, yet have Dissimilar meanings maybe : How different is a weak old man From just a week old baby ! Annual 51 Genevieve: — Isn’t that pink stationery just fine? Gladys H. : — Yes, but I haven’t a thing to ' wear with it. A kiss equals 0 — |— 2. Gentleman: (To R. Harrington, directing orchestra) Are you the director of this orchestra? R. H. : No. Every man here thinks he is the soloist, and I’m the referee. An extract from John Owen Nixon’s theme: “We snuck .along the back fence and skun up through the orchard.” Clara : All extremely bright people are conceited. Lawrence C. : Oh, I don’t know. I’m not. A hug — Every thing gone to waste. It certainly is healthy for one to partake freely of Aqua Pura; but when one stores up (or down) a gallon or more at the end of every forty minutes it is going to the extreme. Furthermore, it takes so long to drink a gallon of just plain water that no one else has time to quench his thirst without being late to class. I would therefore suggest that some one with an inventive turn of mind provide a pocket drinking-fountain for Fred Adams, or prevail upon the school board to permit him to carry the fire-hose around with him. We understand that Clayton Carlton wants a Packard (automobile). Stear: What is velocity? H. Build am (otherwise known as Wamba) : That’s what a fellow lets go of a wasp with. And “ Ye Editor” lets go of this humorous ( ?) column with the same thing. ' The Old Grads.’ Quality Here !
