Senior Woes. A slice oi our deportment is what we get When we do raise a fuss. The teachers mark us down, you bet, But we don't care a cuss. We rip and snort And make all kinds of noise, Till Slabaugh says he'll land us in court And L. C. says it beats the devil with them boys. We all like Yoder, for he's a good old sport. I Hle gives us physics and don't care if we're on the bum. He lets us cut our lessons short And journey to the locker to play rhurn. Well-bent pins our patience they do try As upon some chair they find a soft retreat. Until some weary victim chances to drop,- Oh my And heavenward doth soar from off that Hendish seat. And many a lad with a saddle on one side, Through some much hated Caesar book Upon a pony he doth ride With never a guilty look. But then there comes a fateful day When one and all must take the dread- ed test, And on the eve before, at 6 P.M., we hit the hay That on the morrow We may do our best. But, as before the 1I12LSl291',S desk We sit and wait, Straight into the jaws of death goes our S plus Just like a whale from off our line doth take the bait, And we needs must take our bitters thus. But we should worry and get a wrinkle, We'll let our troubles go to grass. lint we'll never forget how the music teacher's eyes do twinkle, When we, some notes do write, in drawing class. These and many others are the numer- ous High School woes, j But with our grim determination, we'Ve survived them nevertheless And now, that we must part, our hearts are sad as you must know, Oh! it 's hi to leave the old M.H.S. RALPH STEEL '16. 395 iff 92 925 Chapel Exercises. On Friday morning the High School and Grammar Room were favored at different times by talks and speeches by Mr. Varnsg Harold Hoover, cashier of the bank: Dr. Tetersg A. D. Farver, dentist, County Superintendent A. E. Weaver, Dr. Schubel, Prof. Titus, Rev. Bream, Rev. Martin, Rev. Fike and others. The talks were both instructive as well as entertaining and were enjoyed by all as some very useful and instruc- tive pointers were given to help us in our future career as well as helping us along in our school life. The apprecia- tion of these helps and encouragement, can hardly be realized. Each of the different classes also took its turn in entertaining the school. Some very interesting and entertaining programs were rendered, displaying some of the valuable talent which is or should be further developed for both the pleasure and benefit of the indivi- duals in future years. The Grammar Room also rendered several programs in which they show- ed their splendid ability. They also gave us their idea of High School. Of course we are always glad to hear and see favorable comments even from the outside world. We were also entertained by the High School Orchestra and the Girls, Glee Club and some soloists at differ- ent times. Mr. Poisaint, of the Federal Purity Federation, gave us a splendid talk on the Power Within or That Some- thing. He plainly showed that there lies a certain power within each person which if properly exercised and culti- vated will be such a defense for the individual that he cannot fail. Such encourageinents are certainly invalu- able to any growing person.

house, the ever ready mus-ket on his shoulder. You 1nay be tramping through the secluded part of Serbia anytime and come across just such a house. Perhaps at first you will take it for the nest of a large bird, as it will have been too far from civiliza- tion for you to confuse it with a pig- sty. But that is the veteran's home and he is happy there. Wliat do these veterans do when they see a German officer for the first time? I am certain they do not stand with mouths open in awe, nor do they even know that the stranger is a German. All foreigners look alike to them. They shout Stoy , just as they have al- ways done, and then they let loose with their old Turkish muskets. That is their life and they enjoy it. MARLAND SHOUP 'l9. EQSQQEHZ-5855 A Parable of Four Wise Men. In a certain part of a certain state there lies a little town. In this town live the four great wise men of whom this story tells. ,This little town, beautiful and pros- perous, snuggles quietly in between three great brown, protecting hills. The country round the town is extremely productive, and the some 600 inhbait- ants of the town and the farmers in the vicinity are very prosperous. These people are progressive, too, for their homes and farms are stocked with the latest labor-saving machines and appli- ances. The town, like the people, is a progressive one. lt contains many fine buildings and dwellings and has any number of public improvements. ln a centrally located spot of this beautiful little town stands the school building surrounded by many luxuri- ant trees. Like the people and like the town it is stocked with nearly every- thing that a modern sqjgool should have. Nearly everythingl' I have said, for among all this prosperity there ran a thread of discord. Long had the stu- dents pleaded and coaxed and long had they suggested. But all for naught. The School Lacks a Gymnasium! And then one day it happened. Four tall and somber visitors stalked grim- lv through the door. Their tall silk plugs and long .swallow-tails gave them a mark of distinction. Taking seats at the back of the room they watched all the proceedings with the eyes of critics. But something decid- edly was wrong. lnstead of the ex- pected quietness and smoothness they found a noisy restlessness. Disgusted and yet inquisitive they bearded the Superintendent in his lair. Wl1at's wrong here, anywayf, they asked. Hltls the lack of necessary exer- cise, spoke up the Superintendent, and the means of entertainment dur- ing the winter months. Wliat we need is a gymnasium. And these men were the wisest of the wise . The day of the big basket-ball game of the following year was at hand, lo and behold, on this same day these four old gray-beards stepped into the assembly room. But the room, it was oh, such a different room. The old bustle iilltl hum were gone and in their place lingered a quiet, intelligent ex- pectancy. ln the class-rooms all an- swers and discussions were given in a quick, quiet, and intelligent manner. Now things were as they should be. Later, in the Superintendent 's office, these four wise old ginks, after re- moving their silk plugs and unbntton- ing their coats, looked at each other and grinned. 4'Yes, spoke up the Superintendent, Hit is the 11ew gymnasium. lt certain- ly has worked wonders with the de- portment of this schoolfl Again those wise guys looked at each other,--winked, and mentally handed themselves a pat on the back while the Superintendent looked on and con- gratulated himself in having such a competent school board. Moral: We, too, need a gymnasium. Boost for it. GRINER '16, 995 22? 9-2 SP5 A Sophomore boy with big feet had the Same out in the aisle Hlltl was busily chewing gum. Prof. Slabaugh on sec- ing him said, Take that gum out of your mouth and put your feet in.
