M. H. S. THE BUTTE 5 Editorial WORK UCCESS and happiness are bound to come to the one who takes real pride and pleasure in his work, no matter what it may be. Often times this fact is lost sight of in this restless and ambitious age. Those who are determined to reach the top of the ladder are likely to estimate work as a means to an end, or stepping stones to higher things. Honest pride in workmanship is not in store for them. Skill is acquired only as moving along to better and more profitable things. Befitting of occupation will always exist in some degree but we have in a sense, seen it increased to a much higher degree by the opportunity that is oifered in America. It is not enough for a man to take an interest in the task of today as a means of showing his fittness for something else. Pride of work is an end in itself. There is no reason why every man should not approach his own task, no matter whether it is polishing surfaces or driving an engine with the same sense of possibilities. Real content is to be found in liking the work you are doing and bringing it to the full height of your power. --Pearl Miller. RUTS Th' world is full 0' ruts, my boy, some shaller an' some deep, An' ev'ry rut is full o' folks, as high as they can heap. Each one that's grovelin' in th' ditch is growlin' at his fate, An' wishin' he had got his chance before it was too late. They lay it all on someone else or say 'twas jest their luck- They never onct consider that 'twas caused by lack o' pluck. But here's th' word of one that's lived clean through, from soup t' nuts, Th' Lord don't send no derricks t 'hist folks out o' ruts. Some folks has staid in ruts until they didn't like the place, Then scrambled bravely to th' road an' entered in th' race. Sish ones has always found a hand held out for them t' grab, Ain' cling to till they'd lost the move peculiar to the crab. l But only them that helps themselves an' tries fer better things Will ever see th' helpin' hand t' which each climber clings. This here's the hard, plain, solemn facks, without no ifs or butsg Th' Lord don't send no derricks 'round to hist folks out o' ruts. -Strickland Gillian. HIGH SCHOOL IDEALS The ideals of a high school, as well as that of any public or private institution, are highly important in the training and development of an individual. There are standards of ex- cellence set up as goals of ambition and achievement. The institution should be characterized by ideals of industry. Effort is the law of educational progress. The student who works, studies, observes and gains new experiences, will grow intellectually and morally. Nothing is more certain. The measure of his growth will he the measure of his eifort. As one puts forth educational effort, he shall be crowned with power. One cannot be carried to the intellectual skies on flowery beds of ease, by some new' and easy method that is effortless and timeless. There is no royal.road to learningg there never was oneg there never will be one. How futile the efforts then to build one. Ideals of industry are always vital. The best result that comes to the student is not a knowledge of the branches studied, valuable as it isg but rather the habits of industry and study formed by systematic application. To such a pupil comes a measure of scholastic attainment, keeness of mind and power, with them the joy of achievement and a degree of satisfaction and contentment because of duty alone that constitute one of the chief sources of human happiness. .pearl Mmm.. fi Tm-1 BI l I'li M.

Clzairmun History ofjoint Rural High School District No. Two N writing the history of Joint Rural High School District No. Two, one does not have to revert his mind many years, nor search records that have grown yellow with a re. L At several meetings of the Walters Butte Grange the idea of a high school for the Melba Valley was quite generally discussed, so to the Grange we give the honor of pro- moting the idea for the districts organization. A special election was held July 10th, 1920, at which the voters of common school dist- ricts No. 69 and No. 72 participated. and by their vote created a rural high school district. The Board of County Commissioners on July l5th., 1920, adopted a resolution which officially created the district. Miss Margaret ,Knowlton, County Superintendent of Schools, appointed the following trustees to manage the business of the district: Frank Sanford, VV. C. Eichen- berger, A. L. Selby, B. N. Hawley, and C. L. Palmer. Later, due to a change in the school law, Mrs. I.. E. Newcomb was appointed. The trustees in organizing elected Mr. Sanford, Chairman, Mr. Eichenberger, Treasurer, and Mr. Hawley, Clerk. For the first year school was held in the Baptist clmrcb. For the second year the school moved to its permanent location. This move was made possible through the generosity of VV. C. Eichenberger, and C. C. Todd, each donating an acre of land. Thus aided the district was able to erect a temporary school building. Each year the high school enrollment has increased, new equipment added, and some new achievement accomplished. The year 1924- is the red letter year for the school. On March 5th. Miss Ethel E. Redfield, State High School Inspector, visited the school and reconunended to the State Board of Education that the Melba High School be placed upon the list of accredited high schools of the state. Through the official act of the state board in session April 15th., 1924, the Melba High School became accredited. The crowning event for the school year 1923-241 is that of graduating the school's iirst senior Class. A class who has received its entire high school training in the district. M.

Yes, now we're leaving Melba Hi We sadly bid farewell For memories of that happy past Will e'er in our minds dwell. Now let this be advice to all And try to do your best. Don't try to hurry through its halls But study and strive with zest. L.M. Senior Class History T was at the annual meeting of the alumni society of the Melba High School in September, 1935 in the new high school auditorium that I first heard the story as follows: We enlisted in the service of education September, 1920 on board the flagship Melba High. We were given our war bags and we started the hard work of learning the ropes. The captain was French, who shivered his timbers incessantly. The First Mate was Casey, and Shenk, the Second Mate. Duify resided in the crow's nest and gave orders to all except just one. The Ensigns or the Non-Coms were very self-important but they made their bluff work. With this formidable array we sailed out of the harbor on the bleak and barren sea in search of a land known as Senior Heights, the goal of all ambitious youths. We learned rapidly, and due, to the novelty of our position, we had a very pleasant time and our voyage progressed rapidly. Our first retarding came with dress parade inspection, when some of us were black listed. Our follies were punished and we continued on our way. We were again in good spirits when we sighted an island. When we landed on this strange island we were surrounded by queer people. They had unusually large heads upon their very small personages. These were called Sophomores. We had a very delightful time during our short stop and these natives showered us with all their best and finally wanted to adopt us in their tribe. This, however, could not be because we did not care to remain in this semi- savage land, but when we sailed we had assumed their egotistic ways. 10 THE BLITTE BI. H. S. VVe now sailed under Captain Hunt with Taylor and Dyson first and second mates and Duffy was promoted to Steersman. Unfortunately, many of our crew deserted and we had much more difficulty. The cruise following was perhaps our most pleasant of all. VVe enjoyed many good times together. The only mishap was when Dudy injured his head. VVe progressed rapidly and soon we came to another island. Here existed a queer people of uncertain origin but very genteel and accomplished. VVe stayed for quite a long time with this people, known as Juniors. In this time we absorbed their ways but, remembering the cherished Senior land we journeyed ever onward in search of it. Some of our crew was left behind and others lost in the realm of matrimony. Our crew was now very small but we continued with brave hearts. We greatly tired of sailor's life and at times our hearts grew faint but we triumphed and continued on our way in search of Senior land. This objective was forever in our visions. Finally the mist we had been shrouded in three long years began to leave and we saw in the distance a great and beautiful land, the object of our cruise. As we walked down the gang plank we felt we were leaving dear Melba. High School for something better. We were greeted heartily by these people who we found back of their dignity offered us many opportunities. Some were accepted while others were not. Here in this land of opportunity we made our start. Our success is accredited to the training received on board the dear ship, Melba High and through all time that voyage in quest of Senior land will forever remain in our memories. -E. M. Senior Class Will E, the Senior Class, of the City of Melba, County of Canyon, State of Idaho, do hereby make ,publish and declare this our last Will and Testament, in the manner and form following, to-wit: To the lower classmen we leave the high school building-on two conditions, first that they will not do anything to the building that the Seniors would not dog second, that everyone clean his feet properly before entering the building. To the faculty we leave the class rooms and sincerest regards for the way they have led us through our Senior Year. To the Melba High School board we leave one pitch fork, two tea towels and one worn out shoe. To the Student Body we leave our very best wishes and prayerfully bequeath our well known, advertised promptness in paying the Student Body fees. To the Freshman Class, the honor of being Softs next year with the right to do unto others as others have done unto you. To each member of the Sophomore Class we leave heaps of good luck and plenty of time to go home at night from the parties. The class members wish to bestow their individual achievements as follows: Everett Miller leaves his knowledge of history to Melba Todd, and his popularity with Helen Scudder to Raymond May. Lorene McElfresh leaves her graceful slenderness to Mabel Swett, and her extreme bash- fulness to Irene Rich. Marshall Eichenberger leaves his ability as joke editor to Harry Delo, and his privilege to Ventertain her to Charles Ommen. Pearl Miller leaves her musical talent to Ruth Eichenberger, and her sterness to Wilber Barningham. Lastly, we leave to the Juniors our most important possession-the most honored and cherished possession of Seniors, with all the exclusive rights and privileges thereof. In IVitness lVhereaf, We have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seals at Melba, County of Canyon, State of Idaho, this fourth day of April, A.

Prophecy the Class of '24 LORENE MCELFRESH, in the year of our Lord, 1950, wishing to forget for a time the tiresome routine as a Latin Instructor, in a far western city, started on a , tour in my little rambling Ford. Taking the advice of numerous signs and adver- tisements, I decided to See America First. I was traveling along through the beautiful Louisana country, viewing the scenes and thoroughly enjoying their beuaty when Lo! and Behold! what should I come upon but a small white school house beside the road. It so reminded me of Melba High that I was at once called back to those dear old days beyond recall. While I was slowly driving along, my mind taken up with my memories, I suddenly came face to face with a large picture conspicously placed at a bend in the road. It was a picture of a candidate for President on the Anti-Labor Ticket. I had never paid much attention to the advertisements and signs along the road but this one seemed to draw my attention very much. There was a vague feeling of recognition in my mind as I gazed at the life-sized portrait before me. The memories of the schoolhouse which I had just passed, came back to me and seemed to associate themselves with this picture. Recognition dawned-but was it-was it possible that it could be-my former classmate, Everett Miller? ! ! Indeed it was none other than our politician of High School days, now striving for the position of Supreme Honor in our nation. There was no doubt but that the one who had so often solved the weighty problems of the government in American History class would soon be in a position where his wise decisions would have more weight and influence than formerly. I was so taken up with my thoughts that most of my attention was drawn from my car, when suddenly there was a crash! a bang! Everything seemed as black as night ..... When I regained consciousness I found myself in a hospital with a white-clad nurse at my bedside, there was something about her voice as she spoke to me that was vaguely familiar. I gazed at her intently for some time and at last recognized her as a. former schoolmate of mine, Pearl Miller. During my recovery she was able to snatch a few minutes from her work to tell me how much she enjoyed nursing. The doctor also told me that she was becoming famous in the international world by writing a book, The Surgical Department. After I recovered from my shock Pearl insisted that we go to the Play to be given by The International Play Company, so of course, I consented to go. We were busy talking when the Theatre suddenly became silent and we looked up to see the director, a rather tall, stately man, appear on the stage. I was suddenly brought to my senses when Pearl whispered, That is Marshall Eichenbergerf' The witty manner in which he spoke was still that which he often used in Melba High School. After the play we went around to the stage door, but no use! it was crowded with those gay flappers-but what else could be expected, Marshall had always been popular with the girls-we had to go on without speaking to him. As the days were fast gliding on, the time soon came for me to be returning home. Later, as I sat in my school room, gazing into space, I often thought of all these strange things and how surprising it was that I had come in contact with all the members of our Class of '24-. But at last I concluded that there never had been and never would be a class to equal our Class of 24 on the Melba High School. -Lo-rene IlIcEIfre.-rh.

This year we held an election of otiicers early in September. Each of us holds an office. As a class, we feel that this has been a good year. We have progressed us holds an oiiice. As a class, we feel that this has been a good year. We have progressed far, due to able instruction and diligent work. Three of our members are new students in M. H. S. this vearg vet we find that we are so perfectly at home here that Melba High School ranks first in 'our estimation. With a feeling of regret, we remember that we have passed the third milestone of our High School career. But one more year and we have passed from High School life. VVe intend to make that one remaining term a better one than the last. We hope to attain more as Seniors: we hope to have new wisdom and deeper knowledge. The further we go in school, the more we realize what vast fields of learning lie jiixirexplored before us. We close our textbooks now, in the closing days of our Junior year, only to resume our studies again as the graduating class of '25. -Aldine Sharp '25. ,PHE BUTTE M. H. S unior Legend You shall hear of how the Juniors They, the thriving class of Juniors Whom the pupils call the Wise Ones Vexed the High School with their wiseness You shall hear of all their doings In the school called Melba High School. In November with the Seniors They to Kuna cave departed ' Feastedg then for a stroll they journeyed While the Soplfmores in mad frenzy Worked great havoc in the camp: Threw the pickles all about them Left the camp deserted. In the many moons that followed They, among the guests assembled With the Seniors gave a great play Of the trials of Married Ones.

Sophomore Class History HE Class of ,26 entered Melba High School last year with the largest enrollment of any class in the history of BI. H. S. There were twenty-six members, ten of whom are now living in various parts of the globe. iVith our one new member, we are seventeen,x. but still the largest class in school. A tx We have the lowest average age in school, sixteen and one-half years, our ages ranging from fourteen to eighteen. Alred Tiffany, who has been our president for two years, is secretary of the Student Body. Charles Ommen is Athletic Manager and Yell Leader and President of the S. S. L. S. i We, with the Seniors, are the natural leaders of all social functions and have given several very interesting parties. Freshmen, remember your initia- tion! ! Also we have excellent dramatic talent. Three of the four leading charac- t.ers in the operetta were Sophomores, while the rest took part in chorus work. Five of our seven boys are on the baseball team while four of our girls are on the basketball team. The honors of the Sophomore Class have been many but we desire to exceli all previous records in our Junior year. -M. H. S. 'Q6. 7 YIYHH BI l l'E M. H. S 23? .1 gwiie.

In a series of meetings we elected Raymond May, President, Ernest Eberhard, Vice President, Raymond Herman, Secretary-Treasurer, Mabel Palmer, Student Council representative and news reporter, VVendell Morse, Staff representa- tive and yell leader, and Glenn Hall, Sergeant at Arms. Our first initiation into society was given us by the Sophomore Class. We were much amazed to find that instead of leaving us in the corner of neglect they did their best to entertain us. During the party we sometimes felt ill at ease because of the so-called table manners and other new and clever methods of entertainment. But we did our best to be good sports and to become acquainted with these new ways. During the first part of the evening each class gave a stunt. We were told later that our stunt was best, proving that we were not behind in all things. We gave a return party November second . It did not turn out as we had planned but everyone seemed to enjoy himself. At this party we had the Melba High school assembly room decorated with pumpkins, corn stalks and yellow and black paper. Much of the success of our party was due to the clever fortune tellers from Nampa . Refreshments of cake, doughnuts, and lemonade were served . The Freshman boys are very good at playing basketball, football and baseball. During November they challenged the High School board to a game of basketball. The game came out thirteen to fourteen in favor of the Freshmen. They boys said, It was nothing to boast about, but actions speak louder than words. We have really done very little for our honor and glory this year. But we are planning many things for the coming years. Watch us grow in knowledge and fame. -M. A. Palmer. Freshman Wisdom VVe ain't been along the road as fur as some But she's kep a-gittin' better as we've come 'Twill be better still next year sure as we're a sittin' here Lookin' back we'll see some mountains we have clumb. The sight of them will encourage us to press on with renewed vigor and absorb more know- ledge and wisdom. Next year we will no longer be ignorant Freshmen, but Sophomores, not that they are praiseworthy of course, but when we get there it will be different. They say that ignorance is bliss, but that depends greatly upon who the ignorant one is, you or the other fellow. We will achieve happiness in a nobler way. The conquering of stubborn unscrupulous studies is far more pleasant than decaying in ignorance. Though oppressed as we are, and have been, by the cruel and domineering Sopho- moresg we, being the most forgiving and generous class in the school, will overlook their glaring faults and wait patiently till next year. Then we will vindicate ourselves on the coming Freshmen. In the meantime we must overcome the languidness and restlessness of spring fever, that ravishing plague to the struggling student. We must also complete our studies so that we may accomplish this praiseworthy end. Are we ignorant? No man knows so much that he can not learn. The wise Seniors go to college, and lol They are ignorant Freshmen again. The college graduates go out into the world and find that in the hard school of experience they have many things to learn. Are we green? The best fruit is green before it ripens. Are we uneducated? Onlv fools com- plete their education. No man knows everything! He may know a few things quite well, but there are others of which he is ignorant. Even we Freshman know things the Seniors do not. But be that as it may the Freshmen Class is the best in the school this year. -W. .lin-rse. II. H. S.

'F Student Body Association H141 Student Body Association of the High School includes every stu- dent enrolled who has paid his fee of thirty-five cents for each semest- er. This entitles him to all the privileges of' the organization. The general election of the Student Body officers is held in Sep- tember each yea1'. The Student Body is organized as political divisions or parties, each has its own platform and candidates. This campaign election is carried on similar to the national election. The three parties that entered the campaign were the Bold-She-Voter, Anti-Labor and the Aristocratic. The Anti-Labor party was victorious in the election of 1923. The officers elected this year were: Pearl Miller, President: Raymond May, Vice l'resident: Alred Tiffany, Secretary and Treasurer. This organization was established four years ago and practically every student in the school enrolled. The Student Body fees are used to further the various school activities and this together with the money received from plays and entertainments have made possible the purchase of our piano and some laboratory equipment. This year however, the greater part of this fund has been used for the publica- tion of the year book, the first one in our history. The Student Body Association has been an advantage in other ways. Probably the most important has been the creation of an enthusiastic school spirit-a thing hard to define which is iudispensible in the life of a school. It has also enabled every student to take an active part in the government. of the school. By encouraging the American principal of self government, it gives the student invaluable training and helps prepare every student for more etfcient citizenship. -Pearl Miller. 26 THE BUTTE lvl. H.
