WEAVER, Business Mcmage'r An Old Educational Center N the ante-bellum days, Minerva Seminary nourished as one of the first and most prominent institutions in the West. It was chartered in 1854 with five trustees, Samuel Frazee, Dr. W. H. Robertson, Sam- uel Forman, T. C. Newcomb and A. A. Winter. In 1856 important changes were made to meet its grow- ing needs and the name was changed to Minerva Col- lege. It was organized as a stock company. Fifty- two men subscribed stock from one to fifteen shares of ten dollars each. Educators of prominence graced the halls of the old institution, and among them may be mentioned such men as Westfall, Blair, May, Sherman, Durant, Thomas and Weaver. In these days the public schools were in their in- fancy and the colleges were few. It was only by means of such patriotic efforts as this that education was placed within the reach of the masses. Among the alumni will be found some of the most successful business and professional men of our coun- try. The Minerva community today has a high class of people and a long-standing culture due to early educational advantages. In 1909, the Board of Trustees, composed of Walter Worthington, Thomas R. Robertson, W. T. King, Bob ert N. Brooks and E. F. Boyd, Jr., surrendered their charter and turned over all property to the Mason County Board of Education to maintain a first-class County High School. For additional building the County Board appropriated $1,100,- and a large fund was raised locally to supplement it. Under the new management Minerva High School has had a marvelous growth and has made a statewide reputation for a high class of work. February 13, 1913, the Committee on Accredited Standing for the Assoeiation of Colleges placed this High School on the accredited list With one more unit of work than is necessary to get freshman rank in the best Colleges and Universities. This committee is composed of Prof. C. J. Cook, Central University; Prof. R. G. Foust, Principal Owensboro High School, and Prof. McHenI'y Rhoads, State Supervisor of High Schools. Minerva High School graduates are now admitted to the best institutions without examination and are maklng good records. I Page six'J WILLIAM C. CORYELL, Principal. Ohio Wesleyan University, A.

This sweet girl graduate is a veritable prodigy in matters relating to Mathematics, Chemistry and other intricate subjects which the writer refrains from discussing in detail lest per- chance he should disclose his lamentable lack of knowledge. Endowed as well with great personal attractiveness, she is a young lady of whom we may be proud. KATIE DWYER. This. young lady can not endure anything which savors of depressnon.

This promising young man, whom we delight to honor as an unusually gifted and appreciative member of the Class of 13, seems to be fully cognizant of his privilege in being one of our group and apparently has a firm determination to prove himself worthy of the distinction. One of his marked characteristics lies in a remarkable pre- dilection for the fair sex; but he very wisely does not permit their charms to interfere with his more serious duties, and we are thus led to predict that his career will be uniformly suc- cessful and that he will reap success wherever he goes.

Gentle, vivacious and brilliant, she is the very ll'llcarnatiol'l of the spirit of that sylvan region. She loves her Fnrthplace and her Alma Mater with an aEection deep and abid- mg. Her presence has been a source of supreme delight these many years, and now we joyfully acclaim her as a rose amonn' the roses and the fairest of the fair. D E Page fourteenl THOMAS E. FOLEY. His intellect sparkles with the native brilliancy 0f the dia- mond. Among other conspicuous features are his indominat- able energy, philosophical turn of mind, and a unique person- ality. Quick witted and gifted by nature for leadership, he goes forth full of promise for a useful and successful career. In spite of the ttnumerous peculiarities of his nature, this precocious youngster has a laudable ambition and a just claim to achieve distinction. In the years to follow, the members of his Class will point to him with pride and exclaim, Oh, yes, I know Judge Foley. He was a classmate of mine. LILLIE WORTHINGTON. ttSober, steadfast and demure?

I Then will the nClass of 1913, be disband- ed, there will its aspirations, achieve- ments, desires and realizations as well.as its reverses as recorded in the history of the school and chronicled and cherished in the hearts of its members, he only a memory. It is the thought then that we must hie away, uTomorrow to fresh fields and pastures new, recurring daily with additional stress that stim- ulates us instinctively to indulge in retrospection and encourages us to ponder a while over the tablets of memory whereon our history is inscribed. Scanning these reminiscences somewhat wistfully it seems we find that the oldest of us in point of attendance en- tered Minerva College, as it was then designated, in 1902. This was before the era of musical and drawing instructions, and prior to the introduction of many of the improvements with Which we are now blessed. The entire building at that time consisted of merely the old brick structure, containing three rooms, which was erected some fifty years before. We spent our allotted time in each of the departments of the old school, gaining in proportion as we applied ourselves. When in 1910, after the old building had proven en- t Page seventeen :I' tirely inadequate to the needs of an ever-increasing student body, the commodious new wing was added, we were in the group assigned to occupy it. In 1904, the introduction of the Musical Depart- ment gave to those of the class possessing musical talent an exceptional opportunity to develop and en- hance their natural abilities. In 1911, the singing and Art Departments were instituted, the former under the eflicient supervision of Miss Small, the latter ably directed by Mrs. Norris. The heads of each of these divisions have, accord- ing to their own statements, discovered in the school and especially in the Senior Class talents of great promise. From its inception, in 1910, the Athletic Associa- tion has always found in the Seniors firm supporters. Many of its star players have been recruited from it. Likewise has this class been the moving spirit in the literary organizations, and assumed as well the prom- inent part in the school entertainments. The personnel of the class has, owing to many ad- ditions to and depletions from it, varied widely during its history. We new number ten happy enthusiastic tstudents. We are prepared to receive the formal ack- nowledgements of our completion of the curriculum of Minerva and are anxious to widen our scope of learn- ing either in college halls or commercial pursuits. We have gained that knowledge which will tend to make us more desirable companions, more intelligent citizens and far more faithful alumni of the old school, trust- ing all the while that a strict observance of the prin- ciple infused into us may inhuence a kindly prov- idence to mete out to us, in after life, the same gen- erous measure of happiness With which she has so lav- ishly blessed us in our school days at Minerva. For our school life has certainly been memorably pleasant in every way, and I am sure that if any of us were AH 15 Vanity asked to epitomize in a word his collegiate experiences, they would unhesitatingly answer pleasurable. And so I doubt not but that in after years, when in retro- spective moments we gently touch With the fingers of recollection the keys of that great instrument, the Past, the notes whose harmonies shall sweeter sound and longer to cheer us as to the days gone by and inspire us as to those to come, shall be the ones which correspond to the days we spent in the springtime of our lives as members of the Class of '13 down at Old Minerva High School. Burning Midnight Oil c0 1: Page eighteen l Class Poem How dear to my heart are the joys of my school days, When memoryts pages invite me to look. It is there I recall the pleasure and by-plays Of frolic and fun when through with our books. There were Mary, Mae, Katie, Nellie and Ruth, Augusta and Lillie in full bloom of youth; Then 0. N. and Tom thrown in for good measure, While the speaker, herself, humbly joined in the pleasure. Those dear honest faces, those bright happy faces, Those joyful young. faces we all leved so well. Our beautiful campus was always a pleasure, And many a game wetve enjoyed to the full, When our boys were victorious in right goodly measure And won all their laurels with never a pull. The wide-spreading campus, the schoolhouse, the falls, Are pictures that hang in memory's hall, t: Page nineteen 1 And e'en shall stay hung there in time-henored places Where the heart can turn backward and always recall. But oh! those wise teachers, those grim sturdy teachers, Those firm and kind teachers the class knew so well. How sweet to 100k backwa rd, remember the classes we The teachers' wise faces, ttexams't and the ttpassesf The failures and victories too many to tell. How bravely we struggled to climb hills of learning. With feet that oft wearied and struggled - and fell. A feeling of sadness comes stealing o'er me When I think of the bright happy days that have gone, And the dear girlish faces no more to assemble Before the old school door each bright sunny morn. And now let me say on this eve, ere we part, I wish you great happiness from the depths of my heart. MAE WALLINGFORD. Junior Class aqua: ALICE ROBERTSON ........................ Pv-esident B.

To this place the school children make annual visits to lay howers on the grave of one Who has done so much for them. Exercises are held to perpetuate his memory. His last will and testament left $12,000 in an endowment fund for Minerva School. Dr. S. E. Pollitt, trustee of this fund, has Wisely managed it so that it supports a teacher of drawing and a teacher of vocal music and extends the school term to nine months. I: Page twenty-seven 1 JAMES F. BLESS pearance of mature manhood, and Strong mental attainments. Born in Minerva, Kentucky, in the year 1837, he spent his boyhood days in this vicinity and early manhood until 1860, when he removed to Newark, State of New J ersey, where he engaged in the manu- facturing business. He attended school at Minerva, and in fact received his education in this institution of learning, never having taken a course of training in any other school, except the great college of experience. He has never, 50 to speak, separated himself from Minerva and its people Always in conversation he referred to it as one of the dearest spots on earth to him. This doubtless is true of the majority of mankind. The places and people associated With our years of tenderness and first impressions make of the people celestial, and the place holy ground. The school of Minerva had a period of depression and ad- versity, in which it was little better, if any, than the most ordi- nary of common schools. At about this time, Mr. James M. Hieatt died and willed his modest fortune to the institution. The school then began to breathe again, to take on new life, to lift its head and come to the front. Mr. Bless, it seems, all the time was keeping up with his old Alma Mater, and when told that our musical apparatus was below par, offered to furnish us with the needed instruments, provided we would build the room. So, in contracting for the new High School, the James F. Bless Studio was added. In order to get an idea. of what he has done, it becomes necessary for you to visit the school and note the splendid piano, furniture, Persian rugs, pictures, portiers, and in fact everything needed for an up-to-the-hour music room. 0111' prayer 38, uLm'lg' may he live, his last days his best days. l: Page twenty-eith James F.

The methods that are used not only insist upon the practical work of execution, but awaken the attention and the reheative power of the pupil as well. They learn to appreciate the aesthetic value of music, its inhuence for mental exaltation and refine- ment and the irresistible appeal to all that is highest and best.

It forms a complete and harmonious system, com- prising lessons in piano playing, courses in violin and other stringed instruments, voice culture, and classes in theory and harmony. The accomplished Director of Vocal Music has been marvelously successful. The pupils sing With ease and feeling, with a just perceptive sense of tone value and shading, and with simplicity and spontaneity in part songs, choruses and other pieces of ensemble. t Page thirtyl Mdsic Class I: Page thirty-one J High 5:110 01 Quartett: MAE ROBERTSON ..........................

T has long been established that in order to meet fully the needs of students and to develop the highest degree of efficiency, a school must make one of the strong fac- tors, in the student life, an active and progressive literary society. Minerva, recognizing this fact and keeping with her custom of fostering every movement which Will make for the better culture of those who seek its halls, years ago organized the Hieatt Literary Society, Which is now so flourishing. I Page thirty-three J ........ Sergeant-at-A Hus The outlook for the future is indeed bright. In- creased interest is being manifested in its proper de- velopment, and every member is steadily becoming more enthusiastic over it. This fact, coupled with unexcelled natural talent and good instructors, give ample basis for the assertion that success will ever attend the activities of the Society. In our tomorrows, when we meditate over the iiGoIden glory of the days gone by,H not the least prom- inent feature of our reverie Will be the thought of the pleasure and profit gained in our association as mem- bers of the Hieatt Literary Society.

Vice-Presz'dent ; HE chief object of interest outside the routine of our regular school work is athletics. We realize the body must be developed as well as the mind. It would be a sad day when the institutions of learning ceased to hold the physical education of man as an important factor in its curriculum. In athletics we are merely obeying the laws of nature, the laws of God. To keep a pure, clean body, take plenty of exer- cise. To refrain from dissipation, eat proper food and stay in open air as much as possible. Some of the advantages derived are not only soundness of body and O. N. WEAVER ...........................

Tmasurer good health, but it cultivates obedience, selfecontrol, discipline, a determination to succeed regardless of opposing numbers, a jovial spirit when facing over- whelming odds, adversity, and defeat. The Duke of Wellington was once asked as to what did he attribute his success. He said: tilt was 011 the football fields of Eton and Rugby where I received the training to which I owe my success in after life. A source of pride of this institution is in its clean players and the manly treatment showed by them to their opponents whether defeated 0r victorious. Our motto is taken from the Golden Rule.

Defeated in most of the h games that season, however, they showed courage and perseverance. In the following season of 1911-12 they met with utmost success, not only defeating those who proved superior the former season, but also the teams of many other neighboring high schools, suffering from only one defeat. Season of 1912-13 opened with the usual interest displayed. Again having a limited schedule, the team was the victor in the majority of contests. The games were hailed with keen interest and de- light by the many and enthusiastic meters who always encouraged the players and shared equally with them in the rejoicing of victory or the deep regret in defeat. The skill of the players was displayed in the beau- tiful team work, together with their quick forethought and action.

Their opponents were of the leading high schools of Kentucky. A dual meet with Flemingsburg H. S. on May 18th was the last of the season, Minerva winning forty points out of a total of sixty-two, besides the mile relay. A beau- tiful silver loving cup was awarding the winning team in the mile relay. This was carried home by the M. H. S. boys. The coming season of 1913 is looked forward to with great interest. Extensive preparations are being made for a grand high-school track and field meet. The state is divided into four divisions, with centers at Maysville, Shelbyville, Richmond and Madisonville. A meet is to be held in each of theSe centers on a certain date, and each high school decides to which of these centers it will send its team. The individuals making a good record in preliminary meets will be eligible to compete in the final meet held at Lexington. This will make the winners at Lexington state champions. uOn Your Marks.

EXCERPTS FROM TOASTS At 1 Banquet on the Occasion of Semi-Centennial Reunion of the Class of 1856 ttThere is one sad side that we can not and must not forget, and that is that. of those who mingled together where you now are! fifty years ago, the majority have passed over the great divide, and as they march before us in memory, we must lift the hat and how the head as they pass by. JAMES F. BLESS. The most important event in the history of this community was the incorporation of Minerva College fifty years ago, and you have acted wisely in making a Jubilee Celebration of this great event. This splen- did school has, from its beginning to this good hour, been a pillar of strength to the town of Minerva. It has been a great beacon light to this whole section of the counties of both Mason and Bracken, sheddirig its beneficent rays far and wide, and inciting a laudable inspiration in the minds of boys and girls who long for opportunities; to reach out after and grasp the prizes of life. HON. CLARENCE L. SALLEE. nIn conclusion, let me say, if I had a voice that would vibrate from the Atlantic to the Pacific, I would xsend it forth this afternoon, across this Continent of ours, echoing from hill to hill, and would shout these words: tLong live the remnant of the Class of 1856, and Old Minerva Collegef DR.
