The 1900 issue of The Milestone, the seventh Senior annual published from the Norfolk High School, is placed before you. Of its merits- if it has any- no boasts are made; for its failings, no apologies. Whether ’tis good, or bad, or neither, or both—is left entirely t� � the merciful criticism of the reader. All that we can claim for it all that we do claim for it is that it is our very best. Athletics. The per cent of boys in the Norfolk High School has always been pitiably small. Probably to this fact more than to any other, can be attributed the lack of interest that has, until the past year, been shown in athletics. Athletic sports pure, wholesome athletic sports— are a good thing. Everyone knows that. They are essential to the proper development of physical manhood. And, besides, they are barrels of fun. Next fall, about forty new boys will be added to the High School. To them will be given the opportunity of joining the Athletic Association, for a nominal fee, and the gymnasium, with its bars and rings, (5) its ropes and ladders, its foils and gloves, will I� e thrown in. Let every Freshman appreciate this privilege and sign his name in a hurry. Among these fellows is good material. With the proper organization and the right coaching, a foot ball team may be secured which will be a credit to our schools: one whose strength and power upon the gridiron shall be recognized the world over one which may beat Pierce. Looks Are Everything. If as much energy had been exerted toward making a Play ground of our school yard as has been used in cultivating it into a soft, plush mat of blue grass, we had beaten Pierce. Appearance counts for much, and a lawn is a beautiful thing. Nor does its value decrease when, for its existence, the out-door playful romps of hundreds of growing boys and girls are sacrificed; when guards or policemen, as it were, are stationed on all sides to drive the herds of wandering pupils into their rooms, lest the signs “keep off the grass” be unheeded. Where are the schools that our fathers and mothers used to attend, when the students gathered on the yard at noon and recess to play pump-pump-pull-away ? Have they been choked, strangled, killed by the desire to make beautiful lawns or parks of our public school grounds? Give us a chance to play ! Retrospective. The Norfolk High School, duriug the past year, has not stood still. To remain stationary is retrogression. (6) We have advanced. Our growth has been a steady, healthy development, the kind that counts. The work of the term has not been extraordinary in amount nor strikingly different from that of other years. It has been well done. The High School opened last year with the best corps of teachers it ever had. In the superintendent’s office D. C. O’Connor entered upon his third term and has been elected to the office for two years more, which is an excellent recommendation of his strength as the head of a great school. The principal’s chair was occupied by Mr. John B. Barnes, Jr., who’s one month’s work in the spring of ’99 had proven to the Board of Education that he was, and is the right man for the place. Miss Myrtice Mvgatt, as assistant principal for the fourth year—for which the High School should be four times congratulated—has filled her position in that enviable manner which is characteristic of Miss Mvgatt, and Miss Mygntt alone. Miss Mary Jestine Bridge has made a splendid record for her first year’s work as assistant principal. Her specialty has been Latin, which she has handled wonderfully well. It is to be regretted by the school that Miss Bridge, owing to other duties, will not be able to accept another term. The attendance has not been a great increase over that of last year. And the majority of those who did come were girls. The High School should have more boys. When the Eighth grade is passed a great many fellows think they are through school; they have learned all there is to be learned; they can make more money working by the day. Work is honorable. But some kinds are more honorable than others. Education simply prepares one for work. The better the education, the higher the class of work is the result. Men have to work. Boys should go to school. The High School is still sadly deficient in equip- (7) raent. And the School Board is broke. The library if a beautiful hook case and a handful of books can he called a library—needs works of reference and standard writings in the worst way. If graduating classes desire to leave their Alma Mater gifts, good books would he appreciated. The text hooks also are worn. But there are no sheckles in the treasury and next year students will buy their own supplies and possibly text hooks. The labratory is in wretched condition. The empty bottles show that what chemicals have, in the days past, been bought, are gone and the report of the treasurer of the School Board shows that there will he no more. But the place might at least he kept neat. To he in want is not disgraceful and “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” In the declamatory contest the High School—the class of 1900 has, as usual, carried off the honors. These contests encourage good work in elocution. But the local interest has become slack. Perhaps as long as the class of 1900 was on deck, others of the school realized that it would he useless to compete. Next year we will be gone. Let each class put forth its best material and make a spirited local contest; let the winner take first at the district and also at the state contests—as we have done.

In this little book of our doings and misdoings, we wish to thank the Class of ’99 for the useful and ornamental book case which they presented to the Norfolk High School. Its mere presence has been a pleasure to us and has suggested constant and patient toiling, and in spite of the many demands upon us, we have all found time to enjoy, and make our own, some of the precious knowledge hidden behind its doors.

It will be noticed on another page that Maude Tan-nehill and George Washington were born on the same day of the same month. Which is evidence that birthdays have influence upon characters. George could not tell a lie. Maude is handicapped (?) in the same way. Poor girl!

A soft voice wished to ask him in regard to a disputed passage in Vergil. Mr. O’Connor would l e pleased to give the desired information but was not certain on the point himself. “Only one person in Norfolk can put you right on that. Call up Miss Bridge.” “A las I” came the reply, I am Miss Bridge!” (40) SENIOR CLASS STATISTICS. Name. Age. Nativity. Disposition. Special Hobby Charlotte Kuhl 4 Dago Frolicsome . .. . Neckties.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Address to Graduates. SUPERINTENDENT D. C. O’CONNOR. Young Ladies and Gentlemen: For four years you have been bound to one another by ties of sympathy, having their root in common employment, toil, purpose and association. With the conclusion of these exercises, these ties shall continue but as a memory. But this memory, freighted with the treasures of four years of delightful companionship, shall abide with you to cheer, to bless, and to reward. In a little while the restraints of school life and duties will leave you free; the change produced by this sense of freedom will seem novel, but before you are fully aware of the fact this novel experience will turn to serious contemplation, and each will ask himself the question, What shall I do next? Soon regrets at not having school days to live over again will seize hold of the mind, and the hastily formed resolution to improve further opportunity, if not lived in the present, may be forgotten. Dear friends, our present, the next moment, becomes our past. Now is the time, not only to form such resolutions but live them in the forming. Today, as a class you lose your identity; tomorrow, as members of that respectable and enlarging body known as the Alumni of the Norfolk High School, you (47) regain it with added luster. In this connection 1 wish to recommend to you the importance of an early connection with, and an active participation in the purposes of the Alumni association of the Norfolk High School. The banner of this association, upon which might be justly inscribed the famed legend, “Excelsior,” waves for you and beckons you on; at each step to encourage, and cheer your onward progress. Active interest in the duties of this association will afford ample opportunity to make the name of “graduate of the Norfolk High School” synonymous with that of loyalty, thoroughness and credit. A noble band of workers has preceded you. In almost all departments of human action, requiring high gifts and noble character, representatives of that band are found discharging their duties shoulder to shoulder with the best ability our country furnishes. This is true, if we regard the profession of law, of science, of medicine, the ministry, the farm, the school or class room, the shop, or the counting house. All of these have their ranks honored and benefited by representatives of the Norfolk High School, a high tribute to the common schools as preparing for citizenship, morality and character. That you may become, in whatever department of usefulness you may chose to labor, the peer of the classes that have gone before, is the earnest wish of all who have had any share in directing your young lives and education to this point. (48) Superintendent D. C. O'Connor. “A man that is temperate, generous, valiant, faithful and honest; and, at the same time, has wit, humor, mirth, good breeding and gallantry.” Principal J. B. Barnes, Jr. ‘‘One blast upon his bugle horn Was worth a thousand men.” Miss Bridge. “There nothing ill can dwell in such a temple; If the ill spirit have so fair a house Good things will strive to dwell with’t. Miss Mygatt. “There was a soft and pensive grace, A cast of thought upon her face, That suited well the forehead high. The eye lash dark and downcast eye; The mild expression spoke a mind In duty firm, composed, resigned.” (50 Olass Song. [Snug Junior Day, ’99, by the class of 1900 to the departing Seniors. Tune of “Old Black Joe.”] Gone are the days when our hearts were young and gay. Going an the Seniors from these pleasant scenes away ; Going from the school as fast jus they can run. We hear their awful voices calling, “Come, Juniors, come!” Chorus: They’re going, they’re going, As fast jus they can run. We hear their awful voices calling, “Come, Juniors, come!” Why should we weep when our hearts can feel no pain? Why should we sigh that the Seniors come not again? Grieving for forms, departing not t x soon. We hejur their awful voices calling, “Give ius room ! Chorus: They're going, they're going, And they’re going not too s xm. We hear their awful voices calling. Give us room J” Where are they now, once so daring and so free? O! Haughty Seniors, where do you ex]x‘ct to be? Quarreling in school and plotting jus you go, You hear our tuneful voices calling, “Go, Seniors, go!” Chorus : They’re going, they’re going, And plotting jus they go, They hear our tuneful voices calling, “Go, Seniors, go!” (52) ✓ Athletic Association. The High School in the state of Nebraska, is rare indeed, which sports an Athletic association and its natural companion, a gymnasium. Among the fortunate few, and ranking somewhere in importance, stands Norfolk. The history of athletics, as developed in our school, is brief. In the fall of ’98, when Geo. H. Whaley was principal, a few boys in the High School, about twenty all told, met and organized an Athletic association whose purpose was to get, it mattered not how, apparatus to start a gymnasium in the attic of the building. The first excuse of apparatus secured was a heavy, rough set of boxing gloves, which were used with feeling if not science, and many a black eye has thanked those dear old gloves for its existence. In February, ’99, the association cleared about $35.00 from a musical entertainment given under its auspices. This sum was gradually eaten up by ropes, foot balls, etc., until nothing but the sacred memory of it remains. Soon after this concert, we applied for financial assistance to the Board of Education, who, with their usual generosity, voted us fifty dollars, which amount was to be used at their discretion. (The fifty dollars are still coming.) Since we couldn’t live on promises, x we borrowed some old but substantial apparatus and now have a fairly respectable gymnasium, all things considered. (55) Foot Ball. In accordance with the custom of all associations of this character we organized a foot ball team. (Therp is also a foot ball team at Pierce.) Our weights ranged from 90 to 200 pounds. We had no coaching to speak of; our uniforms were not uniform; we didn’t all have long hair. Notwitstanding these difficulties, we have a record. For, we are naturally proud of the fact, we were never beaten but once on the gridiron, and though the score was something extraordinary that time—50 0—yet we are consoled by the fact that Hayes read of a game which stood 76 0. It is probably true that if we had played more games we might have more victories to chronicle—for the other fellows. Nevertheless we have a record. Line Up. Center Rush, John Read.

Each has laughed well, splendidly, uniquely. And our city, the North Nebraska district, the whole Golden-Rod state have laughed with them and applauded their humorous selections with nine gold medals, seven first, and two second prizes. Maude Tannehill, this year’s contestant, captured the first local, first district and first state prizes with an original character sketch, “Susie Smith.” Clyde B. Hayes has three first medals to his credit and would have more if there were more contests to enter. The last one, The Yankee in Love, giving him first place in the state, was taken at Falls City, May 5, 1899. Winnie Owen, when she and we were Freshmen, entered the most spirited local contest that has yet been held. With thirteen others in the field, some of them Juniors, some of them Seniors, and all of them having been drilled for weeks, our Winnie took first place. From the district contest she brought home the second prize. Probably no other class in the state can boast of (59) such a record. They have reflected credit and honor upon their class and their class is proud of this trio. We have a right to be proud.
