i REMAINS OF THE OLD N. H. S. BUILDING NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING DEDICATION To a Man: Who as Scholar, we admire; Who as Teacher, has always held before us, high ideals; Who as Friend, is ever willing to sacrifice that we might gain. To Superintendent E. B. WOOD This book is respectfully dedicated by the Board of Editors. FOREWORD In behalf of the X. H. S., the Annual staff presents this, the second volume of the X. II. S. Boostkr. The purpose of this book is to depict faithfully the many phases of life in our High School. We hope that it will give a good idea of the ability and character of the class of 1914, and will be worthy of the classes which it represents. In presenting the X. II. S. Booster the board of editors wish to e.'press th ir ind.bt dness to the members of the Faculty, the School Board, and others outside the school who have aided in the pr paration of this number of the X. II. S. Booster. We also wish to express our appreciation of the support ex- t ml d to us by both our subscribers, contributors, and advertis rs, and we extend to each our best wishes for a happy and prosperous year.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Myrtle Roe............................Secretary Cleo C urry.....................Vice-President Luther Miller.........................President Class Colors, Blue and White. Class Flower, American Beauty. I lie Juniors are twenty-six in number; large, small, short, tall, thick, thin, homely, comely and various in complication. 1 en years ago last September a large class of towheaded youngsters wended their way to the public school, to begin their upward way on the path of knowledge. Of all this large class only twelve remain with the class of Juniors, but this is a record which no other class in the N. H. S. has. The history of the present Juniors begins in the myths and legends of the hreshman year. During this primitive period of our existence as a class, we thought it best from a standpoint of future safety to demonstrate to our contemporaries in the N. H. S. our ability to take care of ourselves. Accord- ingly we held aloof from all and therefore were known as the stuck-up bunch. In our Sophomore year Miss Jessie Morris, our principal for the years 1912 and 13, declared that our class had a few of the smartest memliers that had ever been in High School. But she also added that, as a whole, it was the meanest class in High School, and this has been reechoed by all of the teachers throughout our years of existence. And it is always this class that “catch it” in Professor Wood’s chapel lectures. On September 29, 1913, the Juniors challenged the rest of the High School to a baseball game. The game was played and all of the honors were carried off by the Juniors. On October 23, 1913, the Juniors again challenged the rest of the High School and also the faculty to a tennis game, and this time also we were victorious. The Junior class has always been noted for their numerous frolics, consisting of hay-rack rides, wienie roasts and hikes, but in spite of all our past folly, and also our present, the Juniors are of such great consequence in matters of scholarship, and so momentous is our influence on civiliza- tion that should the present Junior class suddenly disappear, society would languish, institutions of learning, courts and legislatures would fail and barbarism would encamp upon the Twentieth century’s fallen greatness. As America is the most peaceable and the most patriotic of all nations of the world, so are we among the classes of the N. H. S. And as the stars and stripes of Old (ilory is emblematic of liberty, union and equality, so is the Blue and White an emblem of earnestness, good will ami nobility of purpose. The Senior class of ’14 is leaving us the title of Senior and with it many duties and responsibilities. This means that in the next year we are in a large measure to set the standards of the school and control the school spirit. We feel fully prepared to assume these duties l� ecause we have long had some of our members in training for the leadership of every depart- ment. Why should we not be able to maintain in our new capacity the superiority that has marked our previous career? Seniors, farewell! I)o not envy us if we outshine you just a little; it will encourage you in the virtue of modesty. END. Ila Walker, ’15. SOPHOMORE OFFICERS President, Marvin Sawyer. Vice-President.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY hen babies six years old we l egan to accumulate knowledge. During eight years of patient study in the graded school we absorbed the realities of life. In associating with the lieautiful characters of our teachers, we now pose as the most brilliant, energetic, and studious class that has ever Passecj into the Junior year, from the N. H. S. of Newkirk. Our Freshman year was almost our finish. Everybody had it in for us. We tried so hard to he nice, but no matter which way we turned there was always somebody yelling “Freshie.” Had we not had the best dispositions in the world we never would have reached the Sophomore year. Therefore our sympathies have gone out to this year’s “Freshman class. We liegan our four years’ climb in the N. H. S. with forty-five members. W ith tearful eyes we look over our ranks now and can only find thirty-one. With the changes of time, and failure to step above the eighty per cent, about one-third have fallen by the wayside. As we step forward to lie the Juniors of ’15, we salute you with our colors waving from the American flag, telling to the world that truth and justice will always be strengthened by us. Ten years we have lived this strenuous life. With ups and downs we have had quite a strife. The faculty always ready with heart and hand To impart the knowledge that has been planned. Seniors, good-by; you have had your sigh; We will take ours in the sweet by-and-by. Juniors, “get over,” we want your place; We want front seats in this grand race. Laura Rouse, ’16.

Ten of these enrolled in the Newkirk primary and have journeyed on together. Kach year has brought changes, but we arrived in High School September, 1913. with almost as large a class as we had in 1906. Several of our teachers have been very fond of us and loathed to give us up, in fact Professor White was only able to after three examinations. (The High School faculty has not been found so clinging.) e have been so very diligent in pursuit of knowledge, that we have had little time for social affairs. At the beginning of school, lify seemed one long years vista of hay rack rides, pic suppers, MTcmV” roasts, etc., but five active, energetic instructors soon changed the vision and our sole celebration was a picnic on the day of our patron saint, which this year happened to be on April 1. Truly the faculty’s efforts to make forty-one Sophomores out of forty- one ’’Freshics has been a hard task. We haie earnestly tried to assist, not only by studious persual of our text books, but by asking questions on every possible occasion. We have gazed from afar on the wonderful intellectual superiority of Seniors. Have approached the Juniors with deference and occasionally mingled with the Sophs. We have served our apprenticeship in High School, and are passing up to higher realms, conscious of good deeds well done. We leave to our successors this little verse which we have learned from experience: “Freshic classes oft remind us of the good old summer time, l ull of tender green things growing into something good and fine.” Dorothy Phillips, T7.

SENIOR-JUNIOR BASKET-BALL GAMES Hoys, 27-24—Girls, 31-6. Seniors Challenge Juniors. All four teams met on the evening of November 7th with colors Hying and the hall full of rooters. Miss Mabel McDaniel (’ll) was referee for the girls' game and John Lowry ( 12) for the boys’. The Senior and Junior girls' teams played their first half, which closed with Seniors far ahead. The boys’ teams then played their first half, which closed with a score of the Juniors being one point ahead. In the girls last half the Seniors won the victory with a score of 31 to 6. 'Ihe boys’ last half was quite exciting and closely contested. When time was called the game was a tie and when played off resulted in three points in favor of the Seniors, 27-24. The Seniors of '14 were quite proud of both basket-ball teams. having won both of the games. SENIOR-JUNIOR BASKET-BALL GAME There was tumult in the High School, When a Senior made his brags How he'd heat a little Junior Who behind him always lags.

This is the second year that a boys' basket-ball team has l een organized in the N. H. S. The first game of the season was with the A. C. B. C. The game was very good. The Newkirk players were somewhat better than the A. C. boys, so we won with a score of 31 to 17. The next game was with Braman, not a strictly H. S. team. The game was a hard contest until one of the N. H. S. players was hurt. The score was 51 to 21 in favor of Braman. The next game was played with the Alumni of N. H. S. This was a very closely contested game, the Alumni being old basket-ball players, but the N. H. S. made some brilliant plays the last half and won by a score of 34 to 8. One of the best games of the season was played at Ponca on Thanks- giving Day. N. H. S. players were handicapped on account of “punk” goals and floor. Newkirk won. however, with a score of 17 to 15. An exciting game was played with A. C. H. S. Dec. 6, 1913. When the whistle blew the score was 31 to 22 in favor of A. C. The last and fastest game was played with Ponca High School again. When the Ponca boys arrived in Newkirk they were in good condition, but in the game which followed Newkirk kept in the lead most of the time and in the end were victorious with a score of 48 to 10. This was the last game played, because we bad no place to play, but next year we will have our new High School building, then we will play. “Wratch and see.” C M C, '15. Myrtle Roe. Vearl Jimmerson.

TRACK TEAM Track and field athletics at the Newkirk High School for the school years of 1913-’I4. have been on the decline, hut in accordance with the present renewed interest we have all reasons to expect the best track team of N.

Reasons for the renewed hope are manifested in the advantages of the gymnasium of the new High School building, and the able way in which our few men displayed their ability at the track meet at Tonkawa.

PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY PROPHECY New ork City, New York, August 4, 1934. My Dear Miss Caine: u will no doubt l e very much surprised to hear from me after so many years, but believe me. Miss Caine, I never once lost trace of you. My vacation started two months ago today, and thinking of my old schoolmates, 1 thought of the old societies, especially the Philomathean, so for my vacation this year I determined, if possible to discover the vocation, avocation, etc., of all the members of the old Philomathean so- ciety. Thinking vou will lie interested, I will give you all the particulars of my investigations. Of course, I have seen Philip Hayes many times, also his secretary, Gilliert Chappel. Four- teen years in the newspaper business enables one to become pretty well acquainted with all the great politicians of the day. I have interviewed Philip many times as to his policy on certain bills which were being discussed in the Senate; though he is not of my politics, 1 will gladly vote for him if he is a candidate for presidency. The indications are that he will probably be the first socialist president, also the first president from Oklahoma. Speaking of politics, there were many of our society mates who followed it up. You know Mary Ingham went to England and liecome one of the most vicious militant suffrag- ettes; they say she even refused a Duke just to break out window lights and smash famous pictures. Erie leagins married, but matrimony did not appeal to her, so she secured a divorce and went on the stage. Mary Denton is teaching mathematics in Yas- sar, and she certainly can’t l� e l eat. I don’t think she will ever marry, as she has refused many suitors for a career. Hart Curry is playing baseball with the New ork Giants. I am certainly proud of his splen- did career, but he will soon be lost from the sporting world, as he is going to follow in the footsteps of Billy Sunday, and we all hope in time he will become as celebrated an evangelist. Austin Coats, known better as “Blondy. by the way his blond curls are more like gold than ever, “finally” graduated from college and is superintendent of the Newkirk High School. Would you believe it. he has an office of his own. where he interviews naughty boys who break the rules of the N. H. S. Marvin Sawyer and Luther Miller. l oth ex- secretaries of the Philomathean Society, are with a chautauqua company. Luther Miller gives wonderful lectures, but never mixes in politics, while Marvin Sawyer sings songs which he com- posed himself. Christine Stewart won lots of fame with her wonderful voice. She has sung in more grapho- phone records than any other person. And my! what a heart smasher she was. I heard she was engaged fifteen times ! efore she finally married. Mona Bright taught school in Oil City for about two years after graduation. She was doing w'onderfu! w'ork. and loved it. but her fear of being an old maid got the better of her and she married the first oil man who proposed to her. Vearl Jimmerson has been w ith the 101 Circus for about ten years. When not with the circus she rides bucking bronchos for the amusement of the crowd who go to the 101 ranch every Sunday. Lydia Remington and Elizabeth Brian run the Cozy theatre and also own a garage. Emily Sanborn had a chicken farm and wras very successful until she went into partnership with Walter Harp. He ate nearly all the chick- ens and spent all the profit. The last 1 heard of them they had moved to town, where Walter was studying medicine, while Emily run a beauty parlor to pay his expenses. Hazel Chappel and Leota Owen have a large kress store in Oil City. Dorothy Phillips is still studying—she married Prof. Thomas. Do you remember Laura Hill? She married Chester Armstrong, but obtained a divorce be- cause he refused to carry a banner in a suffrag- ette parade. Laura is now a great orator, and will probably be the next governor of Oklahoma on the Progressive ticket. Harold Hufbauer took a two-year engineering course at Stillwater, then went to Yale, where he became noted for his football fame. He did not follow' this, however, but stuck to his engin- eering career. He recently received the position of superintending the building of a railroad to the north pole. Cleo Curry l ecame a regular speed maniac. He has a car which he drives night and day about a hundred miles an hour. Also an aero- plane. wdiich he drives in the same reckless way, making thousands of dollars doing daredevil stunts. Helen Sorey is a tennis player of no little fame. Rena Fisher married and is running the farm on scientific l� asis. John Washburn had a candy kitchen and soda fountain, but he ate up all his profit and went broke. He next tried farming, but did not like it. When the question came up whether the women of Oklahoma should vote or not. Johnny, knowing which side his bread was buttered on. carried the banner in a suffragette parade; since then he has been ver prominent and successful in politics, always having the support of the ladies. Glenn Chappel loafed awhile after graduation, then took Miss Gilman's place in the N. H. S. Everyone says he makes an unusually good Caesar teacher. Atlia Farrell has composed a numltcr of poems, also words to songs, which Marvin Sawyer wrote music to. Poor girl, she gave up all’ this for housekeeping. She married a David Somel ody from Ponca and seems very happy and con- tented. Lenora Allers lives here in New York. Though we work for rival newspapers, we are nevertheless very dear friends. If you should happen to find any more information concerning the society or anyone of the N. H. S., please let me know at once. I remain as ever. Your dearest friend. Frances Schoonover. PROPHECY OF THE TOLOGEON SOCIETY One day as 1 was sitting on the top of Mt. Olympus, overlooking a beautiful valley m Thessaly, a little fairy came from a distant cave md stopped at my side. It was so unusual that [ thought that I was dreaming, but she spoke to me and recalled my wandering thoughts. She asked for a drink of water, which I brought her from a spring near by, and she said that in re- turn for this act of kindness she would reveal to me the future of my old classmates of the Tologeon Society of the N. H. S. She began: “First, of course, is the future of the president of the Tologcons, Harry Moore. He will become president of the U. S. A. in- stead of the Tologeons of the N. H. S. “Our studious vice-president, Willie Cline, who always makes ninety-nine, will be a great lawyer some time. “Our fair young secretary, Laura Rouse, is destined to become a great singer in one of the great operas of New York City. “Since Lucile Fenton had lost all hopes of be- coming the wife of a certain Ponca City boy, she will live a life of single blessedness at home with her mother. “Helen Olmstead will Income a beauty special- 1 George Hall, Mabel Mills, Everett Stuffner, and Julia Hatfield will form a quartet which will sing at the city of Mervine. “Ruth Hostettler will become a stenographer for Sears, Roebuck Co. “Raymond Wright will tour around the world giving lectures on woman suffrage. Clifford Sawyer will go to Europe to have her voice trained, and will then sing at various large cities of the United States. “Ella Hendrickson will go to a large college, where she will learn sewing, which will be her occupation in after life. Myrtle Roe will become the wife of a wealthy Chicago banker. “Murrcl Moore will become the manager of one of the picture shows in Newkirk. Hazel Stewart will become a teacher (of one) .” I then asked the fairy of the future of my old schoolmate. Merle Bliss. The fairy said. “Merle Bliss wdll go to China to serve as a missionary. “Alexander Hartung will do likewise. Evelyn Bright. Molly Brosh and Opie Hart will go to Wichita to study msuic. Gaylord Yanderpool will make a great speech at the World’s Fair in San Francisco describing his latest invention, a carpet sweeper. “Mabel Bristow will gain great renown by playing in the orchestra of one of the motion picture shows in Newkirk. Mary Shear, though undoubtedly small in body, is mighty in spirit, and will capture a man's heart. “Wilbur Hatfield will become one of the most advanced farmers of the age. having taken an agricultural course at two different colleges. “Edith Devore, Frances Higdon, Edgar Mc- Keaigg, Ida Constance. Buena Stober, Earnest Green. Belle Young, Osmore Ford, Jessie See- linger, Henry Kirkendall. Lura Peters and Moyne Leightv will form a theatrical company, which will play in all the large cities of the world.” As she finished speaking she slowly faded into the distance. As she disappeared, great white clouds came rolling up and seemingly filled the valley. 1 feared that 1 would not hear the future of my other schoolmates, but just then the fairy descended from a great white cloud high in the air, floated down to the earth, and again stood beside me. She then resumed her prophecies: “Hugh Davis will gain world-wide fame by climbing Mt. Everest, a feat that has never been equaled. “Ila Walker will become a domestic science teacher in the A. and M.

THE SENIORS OF '14 To you patrons of our High School, You, who’ve helped us win our battles, Helped us as we’ve fought the Juniors, And have gained our reputation As the noble Class of T4; We, with crimson colors flying. We, the Seniors of the High School, Stand before you for the last time With our class address and poem. Mine is but a homely poem. Written for the Seniors' glory. Homely phrases, but each letter Full of praises for my classmates, Full for those who are accomplished Both in Baseball and in Latin, Bear with me and hear the story Of the noble Class of T4. First, our Hazel, we have with us, She, with whom all are acquainted. She, the baby of the Seniors, She, the pet of all the teachers. Now, there’s Erie, our musician, Who can play and sing so sweetly That our cares will straightway vanish; She’s the Seniors' good old stand-by. Next comes Philip, who’s the tallest, Where he goes the girls all follow, With his “oratory” leads them. With his “bluff, won his way through. We're a jolly class of Seniors, We are always glad and Mary — We have with us three by that name Sh -ar and Denton, also Ingham. We can claim a friend in Clifford, Who with music and with laughter Has helped pass some jolly evenings; We shall miss her much hereafter. Now there’s Chester, like the Blacksmith, With an “Arm-Strong” for his classmates. Who can jolly all the teachers Out of many grades and lessons. But among us there’s one classmate Who for many things is noted. You will know that 1 mean Gaylord With the deepest pool of knowledge. I could tell of many classes That have been our predecessors. Who have had their shining pupils, Who have had their ”stunts” and good times, But when all of them are added. Still our class could add just one Moore. He among us is our leader, He among us is the bright one. He, the President of the Seniors. If still further you would ask me Of the noble Class of '14 I should answer your inquiries Straightway in such words as follows: In the little old school buildings In our little town of Newkirk Have lived my classmates here from child- hood. Round about these 'leven children Have come teachers whom we cherished. Those from whom we learned our lessons; By those lessons we must profit. Here we sang as we were Freshmen, Here we sang as we were Sophomores, Sang our High School praise and glory. This will tell you how we came here. This is how 1 wrote this poem That the Senior Class might profit; That I might exalt my classmates. “THE SENIOR CLASS WILL” We, the members of the Class of 1914, do hereby will and bequeath to the Juniors I-ong life and happiness. Long lessons and wealth. Long hearts and addresses. Long hardships and wealth. Erie Feagins wills and bequeaths her LMd Essay on Man to th?

Also her part in all of the unsung “Senior Music,” to be translated into Latin by Harold Ilufbauer. Our class prophetess, Mary Denton, wills to Christine Stewart her ability to paint artistic sunsets, with soft hazy atmos- pheres predominating, which do not sell for a high price at Carls-bad-Bohemia.” The tallest in our class, Philip Haves, be- queaths to Luther Miller his mastery of the English language and perfection in every line of work. Mary Ingham wills all unfinished note book work to Laura Rouse, her timidity lo Francis Schoonover, and her ability as a basket-ball player to Vearl Jimmerson.

We will to Miss Gillman all underlined passages in Literature: to Prof. Wood all unlearned rules in Physics; to Miss Kirk- patrick all unnamed bugs and flowers; to Miss Caine all forgotten History dates; to Prof. Bixler all unknown equations. hi Witness Hereof, we have set our hand and seal this twenty-second day of May, in th - year of our Lord, one-thousand-nine- hundred-and-fourteen. Clifford Jkwelle Sawyf.r, ’14. THE HISTORY OF THE SENIORS It is extremely difficult to portray the feelings of the Seniors when they contemplate that upon graduation they are supposed to l egin to live in dead earnest. If ever one feels one’s impotency, it is then; hut it is also at that time that one more than realizes one’s opportunities and en- dowments. It may seem paradoxical, yet the truth is that we Seniors feel that our High School career has been one of the downward scale. It may seem shocking to read this, hut there has not been a downward slope as far as morals, intelligence and ideals are concerned; it has been downward in the way of concentration. We have attempted to escape the too wide and hazy conception of life which would result in useless dissipation of powers and talents. And we have attempted to seize more forcibly some particular opportunity or vocation in life to which we feel we are called. The Senior seemingly holds the ideal position in the High School world. He has risen aliove the petty follies of his under classmen. This is the time of development when the mental side of life instead of the mere physi- cal force liecomes the more prominent. In other words, we may say it is the class in which we come to know' ourscives, the time when our higher instincts extend above the mere brute forces of nature. As freshmen we had our scraps and other follies of similar character. As Sophomores we took out the customary spite upon the incoming and unprepared first year class. As Juniors we were very dignified, and though: we were a good figurehead for the Faculty. The Senior C lass this year was of a few in number to begin the school year, and has gradually decreased. September morning when the school bell rang we assembled in chapel thir- teen strong. We were jeered by many tor lac- ing the future for the unlucky thirteen, but we have ! een successful in every way, with the ex- ception that Cupid stole quietly in our class and decreased our number to eleven, seven girls and four Im� vs. While searching for material to fin- ish this history.

College. Proudly aliove us a banner is streaming; Gaily it floats in the breezes of heaven; Bright on its folds an inscription is gleaming, Newkirk High School T4, number eleven. Fair was the day when as Freshmen we started Forth on the path that led us to fame. Though from our pastime and frolics we parted. Still with ambition to High School we came. Light as the birds in the tree tops of summer. Gay as the fl wcrs in the meadows of spring; Verdant and fresh—every one a beginner. Bright as the bloom on a butterfly’s wing. Years have gone by; we have struggled together. Mingling our tasks and our friendships as one; Sunshine and showers; no matter the weather. On we have toiled; our work, it is done. Some of the youth we have left there behind us. Some of the brightness forever had fled; C alm and contented as Seniors you find us. Ready for that which confronts us ahead. Philip Hayes, T4. “LAMENTATIONS OF A SENIOR” oe unto him whom spilleth frappc upon my new party dress, for him will I curse for an awkward beast. Woe unto him who steppeth upon my feet when I have on satin slippers—him I will spurn next time. W oe unto her who borroweth my chamois and returneth it not —her will I curse by the shine of my nose. W oe unto him who asked me second choice—him will I hate from everlasting to everlasting. W oe unto her who will lend neither her hair net, her white kid gloves, her handkerchiefs nor her party coat, for she hath not the true High School spirit. “CLASS OF 14” Seniors, Seniors, on our way, Though busy, our duties neglect, Stop and give you all one chance To view our class with respect. Oh. wonderfully gifted is our class, Of nineteen-fourteen, a famous year; And an inferior successor Of our wisdom and talents will hear. Holding our well earned credits fast. We soon expect to be hurled, Well prepared and sure of success, Out in the ranks of the world. —L. A., '14. “TRIALS OF A SENIOR” The other night, I went to bed, Hut not to sleep, for my | oor head Was filled with most awful dread Of Physics. What is a gram? What is a pound? W hat is the cause of every sound ? I ill all the walls around and around Re-echoed Physics. What is an air pump? For what used? I thought of this, and mused and mused, I ill my poor brain was so confused By Physics. Where are those problems, all so long? Why are they all so very wrong? What’s that I hear? Yes, 'tis the gong For Physics. Oh, why will sleep ne'er come to me? Must I fore'er these problems see? Must I forever tortured be— By Physics. SENIORS’DAY—APRIL 3, 1914 Friday, April 3d, was quite an event in the history of the school's happiness, on account of it being Seniors' Day. In the morning the Seniors gave the follow- ing program : SENIOR GIRLS’ QrARTET. Clifford Sawyer Mary Denton Hazel Stewart Erie Feagins Original C lass Song............Members of C lass Piano Duet.............Mary Shear, Erie Feagins The Seniors’ Hour”..................Laura Hill Vocal Solo.....................Clifford Sawyer Class Will......................Members of Class The Superintendent. Prof. Wood, and members of the Faculty gave a class address, also the Presidents of the classes. In the afternoon the Seniors had a debate. The Senior boys had challenged the Senior girls to debate the question: Resolved, That the right of general franchise should be granted to women. Philip Hayes, ( hester Armstrong and Harry Moore had the affirmative side of the question, while Mary Shear. Hazel Stewart and Erie Feagins had the negative side. 1 he debate was quite exciting and interesting. The decision of the judges was for the affirma- tive side. “THE SENIOR HOUR” Read on Seniors' Day. April 3d. Between the spring and the summer As the winter is fading away. There comes a time in our class work That is known as the Seniors' Day. I heard the professor's instructions And my face wore a look of dismay hen he told me to write a poem To read to you today. From here I can see before me As I look around the room The patrons all expectant And the Juniors filled with gloom. I can see them whisper and giggle. And I know by their twinkling eyes. That they know I am going to roast them And take them by surprise. Around us there are “Timbers,” Some of which are “Young” and ”Bright” If they all were “Rocs” of Fishers That “Wood” be a “Sorrey” sight. You should see them cut their classes As they race along the hall Which the teachers left unguarded For the little Juniors small. While we. Seniors, climb to knowledge Studying hard each day with care 11 we try to escape they surround us, 1 eachers seem to be everywhere. They always cram us with lessons I ntil our heads almost burst; I hey think we are very ambitious And for knowledge have a thirst. Do you think, oh. little Juniors. Because you’ve won them all. That the Seniors are going to stand it And have no favors at all? Wc will have you know we are Seniors And from you will soon depart. While you must work as hard as we did And learn your lessons by heart. Or here you will stay forever. es, forever and a day, W bile these walls shall crumble around you. And we Seniors go our way. L. M. H.. '14. TWO POETS Everything was quiet in the little country school until one morning when the teacher announced that a week from the following Friday they would have a program. Joseph was selected to write an original poem. He was afraid he could not accomplish it alone, so he asked a friend of his, whose name was Henry, to help him. I he next evening the following conversation was heard in the former’s room: 1 don t think that sounds just right. Well, now listen and 1 will read it to you: 'The men were on the rolling ocean. The fish in the oven were a roastin’.’” “Why. Joseph! There’s no meaning to that! If you know the meaning, please explain it to me.” „ “Well. I tell yuh, Henry, it’s too classical to have any meaning. “That’ll never do. Let’s take a line of some poem, and then add a line of our own; let’s see, how’d this do: 'As I look over the isle, o’er its billows green— As I look over the milk, o’er its cover of cream. By the great rock and far along the stream— ” My! what a poet you arc! Let’s see if I can add a little more: ‘No matter how barren the past may have ! een. We are all very satisfied to know we have skin.’ ” Oh! you spoiled it all—why. that would never do.” At this there was a knock at the door and in came Dutch Conrad. Why, good evening, Mr. Conrad!” (iuten Abend, boys; haf you mv schwincs nicht gesehen. No, Mr. Conrad, we haven’t. What color were they?” “Well, they iss somedimes wite, somedimes black, und somedimes red all over, haf vou Im vs l� een doin’?’ What hat vou hoys neen aom : , “Oh! Mr. Conrad, we have to make a poem for school; wont you say a Oerman piece for us? Maybe I could learn it.” said Joseph. “Well, boys. I’ll say an oldt von vitch I learnt in Chermany: ‘Die Baume stehen voller laub. Das Erdreich decket seinen Staub, Mit einen grunen kleide. Narcissus und die Tulipan. Die ziehen sich viel schoner an Ais Salomonis Seide.’” . That’s fine, Mr. Conrad. ’ said Joseph. “Now. let’s sec if I can learn it. ou say the first line and I will repeat it.” So Mr. Conrad began: “‘Die baume stehen voller laul - .. Joseph wanted to say the same thing, but this is what he said: The broomies stehen v Her au ’ ” N° Nebi, nein.” said Mr. Conrad. “Vou don’t fersthey me right. Now listen vonce all ready yet: ‘Die baume stehen voller laub—’ ’ . .. ... This time Joseph said it almost right and Mr. Conrad took the second line which was Das Erdreich decket seinen staub.” He repeated this a number of times, then Joseph verv thoughtfully said: ‘“Da earthquake take it in a stop.” ......... At this Mr. Conrad, who was a very jolly man. laughed and said : Let s see if| vou can do better mit there next line; it ain’t so hard. Then very loudly he said. Mit i,IKTl?isCline Joseph repeated correctly With the next lines, however, he was n t success- ful, an(i he declared he did not wish to memorize the poem, at which the old farmer laUK ftcr Mr. Conrad had departed, the two boys had a good laugh. Then they deter- mined to finish the last poem they had started, saying: “That German poem wouldn t i lasMhe day for tiie program arrived. Everyone was quiet, waiting for the teacher s voice to sav that it was time to begin. Then one by one the pupils were called upon to give their pieces or songs. At last it was Joseph’s turn to read Ins original poem He mdetlv arose and walked to the platform. But alas! He had forgotten that the platform was raised a little higher than the floor, and bang! he fell. It did not take him long to nick himself up. He faced the audience and said: “As I look over the isle, o er its billows of green, i)ic baume stehen voller Laub. As I look over the milk, o’er its cover of cream. By the great rock—” There he stopped, ran his fingers through his hair, and looked. I hen he said: Ladies a„d Semen, if Dutch Conrad had not recited that German piece to me I wouldn t a got mixed up!” Then he took his seat. Clara Nietert. T6. WHAT IS LOVE?” Love is a disease and, as the Bible says, I believe it was one of the first plagues to attack man. Adam had a “case before he and Eve were expelled from the garden. And as one searches the pages of history he is appalled at the magnitude of its ravishes. From the beginning, few have escaped its pangs, and unless science develops more rapidly than heretofore it is probable that the Millennium will dawn before the world is rid of its binding pangs. According to my most scientific research the deadly plague-love is caused by a puncture of the skin by a poisoned arrow of the little demon, Cupid. Only a scratch is needed for a small case.” but if the aim of Cupid should strike the victim in the heart, then all hope might as well be relinquished for the victim will never recover. His fate is sealed and he will be one-sided all the days of his sojourning on the earth. The disease is very conspicuous. If a young man is affected by it he will order every- thing that a barber can suggest in order to improve his appearance. He will also be very careful in the selection of a tie. and in his funihlings he will be seen too often fingering it excitedly as if in terror less it should be crooked and his fiance should be offended. If he is affected very badly it will affect his voice for he will seem unable to say anything except She.” He usually improves in his habits; he quits the pool hall and goes to church; he stops smoking and saves his money to buy a wash tub; he refuses all strong drinks and drinks nothing but water; he drops his rough companions and gets very intimate with the preacher of the church which his girl attends. Thus the symptoms progress until as the lamb, led to altar, he proudly calls in the preacher and the deed is done. The disease has now reached its zenith and unless Cupid's arrow stuck in his heart, the disease will gradually decay, until it is completely cured in the divorce court. The victim is now susceptible to another attack and sometimes a single man will succumb to as many as seven or eight attacks. Thus far wo have followed the effects of the disease on the man. we will now seek to learn the symptoms and effects on the women. At first she will purchase a curling iron, several shades of powder and some loud perfume and six dozen yards of ribhon. She is now armed and begins to lead the “him” on. If she has a very bad case” she will spend all day primping for him in the evening She is also careful to arrange a settee just big enough for two and when he comes she entices him to sit on one-fourth of it while she keeps getting closer and closer on the other three-fourths. She usually leads the conver- sation. talks about pink teas and bon bons and rings (?): when she interests him in the last number, that is. “rings. then the “case” is complete, and after her father has borrowed several hundred dollars that event is carried out in all the style possible. The danger line is now past and the decline is rapid and finally ends in the district court. She is now called a grass widow, but she passes off as a “merry widow and soon has another “case.” After several cases” her face-creams fail and as the wrinkles insist on showing, she sensi- bly decides to live happily on the alimony paid by her last case.” I have now given you the most scientific explanation of the dreaded disease, “love” and you may by watching the symptoms perhaps prevent a serious or fatal catastrophe. May this worthy discourse be to your benefit. Walter Harp. '16. N. H. S.

HISTORY CLUB HISTORY CLUB The Newkirk High School History Club was organized Nov. 6, 1913, for the pur- pose of securing data, pictures, and other valuable information to he placed in the High School Library and to he given Prof. 1 hoburn, of the State University, who de- sires such information in the compiling of his new Oklahoma History. During the year the Club has been favored with a visit from Prof. Thoburn's former colleague, Mr. J. M. Holcomb, whose Oklahoma History is now being used in the Public Schools. 1 he Club is the first of its kind to be organized in the Newkirk High School and has as its aim the securing of a collection of relics which will be of local interest. 1 he work of the Club has been creditable for its first undertaking and will be appreci- ated by those desiring the preservation of local history.
