Can You Imagine Howard with straight hair Modesta without Edward in tow Alta with nary a date Helen minus her side-kick, Ruth Alice going around crabbing Mary Ann being tall Speck being the strong man in a circus Carolyn being still one minute Jack Stephens agreeing with anyone Miss Postel with a permanent Marian getting WCW in anything Therese neglecting her school work Miss Quick without slrcasm Clifford Bowers without dimples Catherine taking life seriously Beatrice with blonde hair and blue eyes Lloyd applying himself to real work Everett as the Robert Taylor type Marguerite talking rapidly Mr. Kramer with a little goat's voice Mrs. McGranahan not working Margie Nowak without a smile News in History Wonder what Howard Preston was thinking about when he writes in a test, uNelson- Mason Linen. Clifford Cordts states that Alma Mater means fasterlfosterb mother. It just seems that these rural folks can't get over their country habits. Alta Bendorf when asked what the 18th amendment was, wrote, ULamb Ducku. A1ice's mind was far away when she wrote: uDecoration of Independenceu. Freshmen Blunders Christianity was not introduced into England until 66 B. C. Gulliver did not go into the city on account of the city llmits. Miss Quick: Who said Uwe came to bury Caesar not to praise hlmu. Freddie: The undertaker. Miss Quick: What is a white-collared man? Mary Ann: One who never uses many muscles besides his head. Preshiez Miss Quick, I would like the poem,USorub and Roosteru. Hers and There Jimmy Johns must have been thinking of someone very sweet indeed in history class when all of a sudden he was heard to say aloud, N0h Sugarn. Miss Postal wondered if it was meant for her but we guess not. Mrs. MoGranahan: How long did you study your lesson in this book? Lloyd: Oh about an hour and twenty minutes. Mrs. McGranahan: Well next time you study don't forget your book, you left it on my desk last night. Miss Quick: Vernon, can you tell me why Milton wrote Paradise Regained? Vernon: I think it must have been because his wife died. Ruth: Mr. Biddick, shall we put in the addresses of the deceased? Miss Postel: What happened to General Lee after the civil war? Howard: He died. Mr. Biddick: Name two natural magnets. Spock: Blondes and Brunettes. Mr. Kramer: How did you know he was a Holstein? Bob: Because he was black and white. Mr. Kramer: So is a skunk. Lloyd's motto instead of being WStudy Your Lesson' is nLessen Your Study'. Jack: If a senior saw someone beating a donkey and then stopped him from doing so, what sentiment would be shown? Glen: Brotherly Love,

Though early records have been lost or destroyed by fire, we hope this history will prove of interest to pupils, teachers, and people of this community. In 1887 the first class graduated under Professor A. F. Prideaux from the building which stood near Hillcrest and the members were Azaria T. Lincoln who became a re-search chemist in Cornell University, and Henry Stevens who is a pros- perous merohant in Sheridan, Wyoming. The next principal was J. B. Logue. In 1889 under Wm. A. Farris Harmon L. Van Dusen graduated and became a teacher in Centralia High School, Wisconsin. He was a young man of brilliant promise and every one regretted his early death. In the class of 1890 under Professor Mr. S.E. Pearson were Jesse M. Van Buren who served as postmaster for several years, and Paul Erdmer who went to live in Africa. J. M. Quick was Principal in 1890-91 and resided here until his death in 1928. Joseph Cubela who taught in 1892-'93 became a lawyer and died in 1935. Then in 1893-'94 Joseph Gibson died before the year was completed and Wesley Preston finished the year.Thos. Metcalf came next followed by Wm. N. Short in 1895. The course then changed to four years and the 1895-'96 school was held in the F. M. Church with David James as Principal and Jennie Osborne Ralph the first assistant.In September, 1896, we entered the new brick building on College Hill, David James continu- ing as Principal until 1902. The building was remodeled in 1899 with greater seating capacity, a library room, and the basement fitted for instruction in science. As the graduates became to numerous to mention we would just like to say that our students went out into the world to fill positions of trust and responsibility including Doctors, Dentist, Nurses, Teachers, one who became a Pipec0rgan Instructor, Musicans, Bankers, Barbers, Government and Railway Em- plyyees, Electricians, Druggists, Horticulturlsts, Telephone and Telegraph Op erators, Supt. of Mines, Mechanics, County Supt., District Attorneys, Insur- ance Agents, Postmasters and Clerks, Master Farmers, Lawyers, Business Women and Homemakers, and one Governor of our State, the late John J, Blaine. Along in 1902 camel1lton0rchard, Principal for three years, followed by J. Goebel, 1905-1907. H. C. Harrison taught from 1908 to 1910 and J, Earl Rohr from 1910 to 1915. Professor Mathis was in charge in 1915-'16 and was followed by P. P. Patterson, 1917-1919, and C. W. Coleman in 1919-'20. On St. Va1entine's Day- 1921, the High School and Grades moved into the fine modern structure occup- ied at present. The Principal in 1920-'21 was G. L. Dyer followed by E.M. Cox A. L. Moore was in charge during 1924-1925 and during the past eleven years C. C. Biddiok has been Principal. - Maud Quick DeLong ' ,'.',sv- f3 1f'??7jl7X'5R5 T.. . ..-.- -f-.W
