In the year 1913, early in September, there set sail over the Sea of Knowledge a magnificent fleet proudly bearing aloft floating banners of green and white. This fleet was headed for a far distant land called the Land of Graduation, which could be reached only after a long voyage of four years over this much-traveled, but to them, unknown Sea. There were four Isles: Freshman; Sopho- more, or Land of Wise Fools: Juniors; and Seniors, or the Land of the Owls; to be thoroughly explored before reaching this romised land. On board the vessel, which ad been recruited from such minor Isles as Grant, Lincoln and other ports, and which composed the fleet, were eighty voyagers called Freshmen, each firmly resolved to succeed or go down with the ship. These Freshmen were well protected by their ('aptain, R. B. Bedell and President Fay Rorapaugh. The first port reached was Freshman Isle. Here a few were so enchanted by the charms in and about it, that they were loath to depart, and even took no heed of the fleet when it finally sailed away. Upon Freshman Isle the travelers met with a strange kind of people called Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Of the numerous incidents which occurred on this Isle they arranged a gorgeous float. They also entertained at numerous parties such as the Hallowe'en party, surprises and theater parties. After an enjoyable year the Freshmen took their departure for the next port, the Isle of Wise Fools. As they neared this Isle, they felt their heads begin to swell, and thought themselves very wise indeed. Upon landing, they found that they were no longer Freshmen, but Sophomores much like those they had met on the Isle before, but much wiser. Everything was now quite different from Freshman Isle. Here as Sophomores they were headed by a devoted sponsor, Mr. Hubbard, and President Hattie Hepperly. It was upon this Isle that they found Caesar's bridge of which they had heard before entering. Along the Isle they picked up remnants of the preceding Sophomore class gazing longingly into the Sea of Knowledge and being warned of Scylla and Charybdis, which were to come, they left the land of Wise Fools and sailed on. At last Junior Isle was reached and all the voyagers now landed and spent a very pleasant year under the direction of their sponsor, Miss Lula Durland, and President Cora Stockton. Some had the misfortune to go too near the grasp of Charvbdis, alias Cicero, where they were kept unwilling prisoners. Notwithstanding these terrors, pleasures and enjoyments were to be found there such as the Junior-Senior banquet, the successful class play and numerous little trips to the town of Sweetland. The last and most important Isle of all was Senior Isle, or the Land of the Owls, which the travelers reached in safety. We were at all times guided by our worthy sponsor Mr. Leon B. Walker and our president Dwight Sprecher. Although the class has been in a whirlpool of studious and business careers working with the Milestone, Lecture Course and Class Play, we have had many enjoyable times at numerous class parties and meetings. At the end of the fourth yrar, a long roll, very creditable to the Seniors, was made out showing that many had absorbed the knowledge necessary to reach the Land of Graduation. And now the four long years have passed; the Freshmen of 1914 are the Seniors of 1917. They have had many experiences during their voyages, of which the enjoyable ones far out-weigh the unpleasant ones. As the Seniors scan the horizon from the stepping stone of Graduation, they see many conquests to be made and they believe that in the future, as in the past, they will show themselves ready for any test that may be put to them.

Junior-Senior Banquet and Reception, 1916. The members of the Class of 1916 were guests of the Class of 1917 on Friday evening. May 26th. The guests assembled at the First Congregational Church and were received by appointed members of the Junior Class, who directed them to the reception hall. Here the Junior colors, green and white, were in evidence. Partners were drawn and they were ushered to the church parlors where a delightful three-course banquet was served by the Ladies of the First Congregational Church. The Seniors colors, purple and white, were combined in forming an elaborate festooning. Fluffy pons-pons drooped interminglingly from the profusion of purple and white in charming adornment. All the decorations united in producing an artistic effect. The tables were arranged in the shape of the letter “N.” Streamers of white flowed from the canopy overhead and fell in charming array about a cluster of white carnations. Places were laid for one-hundred. The place cards and menus were tiny booklets representing a white carnation, the Senior Class flower. Cora Stockton, president of the Junior Class, presided as toast-mistress, responses were given by members of the Senior class, all doing justice to the occasion. The following program ensued: “Much Adoo About Nothing”...................................Cora Stockton “As You Like It”...............................................Fred Zutz “Comedy of Errors”................................................Charles Hamilton “Mid Summer Night’s Dream”................................Bernice Hibben “All’s Well That Ends Well”.................................Miss Durland “Quotation from Hamlet”..................................Mr. M. E. Crosier “Measure for Measure”.....................................Miss Vie Ufford After the banquet an informal evening was enjoyed and a short entertainment by the Juniors completed the evening. Fourth Year Follies. The first event of importance during our school year was the Junior-Senior Hare and Hound Hunt. All started out very favorably despite the fact that Diana, the Goddess of moonlight contributed her flowing beams of light to the cause of the Juniors, the Fates predicted victory for the Seniors. The classes were divided into three different squads. At seven-thirty the timid hares hastily sought refuge from the hungry hounds who should pursue in such places as mice inhabited lumber yards, deserted caves and under thorn bearing gooseberry bushes, where various uses of the old-fashioned rag rug was again instituted. The former part of the evening was one of suspense and high tension on the part of the Seniors, for when the hilarious laugh and excited babble of the Juniors reached our alert ears at various times, conditions seemed very uncertain. But as the saying goes “Time and tide wait for no man,” neither did it wait for the Juniors, the hour was up and we returned to the High School exulting joyously over the victory. “Now the Seniors in triumph reigned For their goal they had attained, But the Juniors good naturedly took their defeat, And we marched to the Y. M. C. A. for the treat.” A charming three course dinner was served here after which several toasts were given then, we all departed declaring the evening a grand success. Watermelon Feed. It was in the middle of September that the Senior class departed in a hayrack for a good old watermelon feed, the bottom of the vehicle being filled with the fruit. The jarring of the ride and the thought of the watermelon gave the crowd a very hilarious aspect. This was changed to one of excitement within five minutes after the “unloading,” when it was discovered that the melons had disappeared. A hasty search brought them to light and also the culprits who had escaped to the safety of the trees. The wierd fire and the excited figures darting here and there supplied a fantastic scene. But “all is well that ends well,” and the party adjourned in a joyous mood. Society—Continued. Kid Party. The unconventionality of the Seniors is shown in the decorous selection of amusements. With the philosophy of the Greek God, Bacchus in mind, “Eat, drink and be merry,” the seniors continued their year’s gaieties with an old-fashioned “Kid” party. The event was held in honor of Gustave Steffen’s squad which sold the most tickets for the 1916-1917 lecture course. The remaining two-thirds of the class was host, the faculty being guests. Childrens games were played and folk dances enjoyed. The guests were then requested to sit in a large circle on the floor where a delicious lunch of stick candy, animal cookies and cocoa was served. The “children” then departed in good humor. Senior Correspondence. Norfolk, Neb., Nov. 10, 1918. Dear Cousin Maria, Green Meadow Farm: Well my dear as 1 sit here in the twilight the memories of the events of this past evening thrill me with a sense of homesickness. For the evening was so suggestive of home, you know the seniors gave a hard-times party. The halls were decorated in old time carpet-rags like mother’s which brought with them memories of corn-bread and mush. But forgetting my loneliness I will tell you of this party which was a grand success. Everyone appeared in costumes just like we used to wear, and say, but I felt at home, every one looked so natural. Mr. Kline appeared very artfully portraying a living reality of a “stick.” We are all convinced he knows what they look like. Yes, and the lunch certainly was served in the good old-fashioned way. Why, we ate our pie first and could have two pieces of cake. Really, I believe we are returning thru the process of evolution of those good old fashioned ways. Here’s hopeful! Your Loving Cousin, Stilla Learning. Norfolk, Neb., Dec. 19, 1916. Dear Cousin Tillie, Orchard Farm: O, Tillie, Mr. Walker is the grandest man! What do you think he did? You know I’ve told you about him before and now he has surpassed all former records by actually entertaining the Seniors at an extremely lovely Xmas party. The rooms were decorated most beautifully in red and green and they were more artfully arranged than any decorations I have seen at a county fair. 0, yes and a real Santa Clause brought us gifts from a real Xmas tree. O, words cannot express such a grand time; but the climax of the evening was reached when Mrs. Walker served lunch. I’ll tell you all the details when I see you. Your loving cousin, Ima Highbrow. Staff Stunts. Surprise Mr. Walker? What? Meet at the library?............................ Yes................ “Clear cut decision is what makes a great general,” says Miss Johnson. This is characteristic of the staff, thus bright prospects lay before us as a result of this decision. We swooped down upon him, the unaware, provided with all provisions which assured us of a grand success in our undertaking. We spent the evening in games and other merriments and after a delicious lunch departed declaring Mr. and Mrs. Walker royal entertainers. Seniors Choose One of the Following for a Book Review.

History of the Class of 1918. On a bright morning in September, 1914, eighty-three Freshmen stood at the threshold of a new experience, that of “entering High School. The dream of our schooldays in the grammar grades had materialized. Naturally we were somewhat confused at the intricate workings of the High School system, but we readily adapted ourselves to conditions. We held our first class meeting, electing Marie Keefer as president; Clare Biakeman, vice president; Ray Parks, treasurer; Alice Rees, secretary, and Mr. L. W. Auman as our class advisor. We selected Orange and Black as our colors, the tiger lily for our class flower, and for our motto “Esse quam videre.” Our Freshmen days were perhaps our quietest, so to speak, but at the beginning of our Sophomore year, with Asa Hepperly, president, and Miss Love as our sponsor, we proceed to startle the entire High School and Faculty with our exceptional brilliancy. For our officers during our Junior year we chose Hollis Askey president; Mary Hardy, vice president: Robert Canote, treasurer; Alice Rees, secretary, and Miss McMahon as the class sponsor. That year, the under classmen stood in awe of us, the Faculty praised us, for that was our “year of years.” Our best times, our most distinguished records, were had and made during that year, in other words we were “second to one.” What the future holds we do not know, but judging from our past accomplishments, we will climb on and up until we reach the very heights, and our class will be pointed to in the future as one of the beacon lights of our dear old N. H. S. Au Revoir until 1918. Joys, Jaunts and Jollities of the Juniors. WIENER ROAST. Juniors! What a world of wonders that word held for us! We started the year off with a flourish by having a “wiener roast” at Kellogg’s grove. We met at the school and were conveyed to the scene of festivities in cars. After romping around for awhile, we enjoyed roasting “wieners” about a blazing fire. The feed was fine but only a selected few enjoyed the watermelons which were mysteriously hidden in a ford. Notwithstanding the fact that some grape vines tangled us up while on our Indian tramp through the “marsh,” we all voted a “magnorious” time. HARE AND HOUNI) HUNT. The next event on the Junior’s social calendar was a joint affair the Junior-Senior Hare and Hound Hunt. We spent the time allotted us in searching for the Seniors. After an aimless hour spent in wandering over all parts of the city, we met our elusive rivals and gaily escorted them to the “Y” where a royal feed awaited us. MISS McMAHON ENTERTAINS. We were all overjoyed! Miss McMahon extended an invitation to our class to spend the evening at her home. The class play was read and later, games and singing was enjoyed. At the close of the evening Miss McMahon served a delicious lunch and we departed hoping that we might be asked again. CHALK THE RABBIT. “What! Second childhood? Oh, Chalk the Rabbit Race? Well I should say so, I haven’t had any exercise since the Hare and Hound race.” And thus we left our solemn moods behind us and met at the library. It was a beautiful evening, March 29, and with all our stored up energy, vim and vigor we chased over all parts of the city, now in Verges’ park, then on South Fourth. After an exciting evening and the mysterious disappearance of a few of our members near North Fourth, we all reappeared on the scene promptly at ten ready for those ever famous “Dutch Treats” at Sweetland. VICE-VERSA. Although it is not leap-year, the Junior girls decided to show their hospitality to the remainder of the class by asking for their company to Sweetland. The event was a great success and the boys certainly showed their appreciation. CAST SOCIABILITY. After many long weeks of work the class play cast gave vent to their pent-up feelings at a grand celebration at Sweetland. After the favorite “Junior Special,” toasts were given by several members of the class. All adjourned, joyous over their great success. Sophomores KIK8T HOW: 8lmi kln . Johnson. Baum, lam. McNimw.

Early in September, 1915, eighty-five little, green Freshmen entered upon their High School careers. After recovering from their first fright of all the upper classmen they elected their class officers who were: Faye Ogden, pres- ident: Russel Beaton, vice president; Grace Colwell, secretary: Mildred Mc-Namee, treasurer, and Mr. Walker as sponsor. At the beginning of the second semester our ranks were swelled to the mark of one hundred and ten and we had visions of having the largest graduating class on record. These hopes were sadly shaken for when we received the title of Sophomore many of our former classmen were still in the “Infant” class of N. H. S. However by the second semester many had redeemed themselves and we now have a class roll of fifty-eight. This year we chose Gay Johnson, president; Helen Weber, vice president: John Zurbrigen, secretary and treasurer; and Miss Love, sponsor. We enjoyed her leadership for what seemed to be a very short time when she was called home by the serious illness of her mother which caused her to resign. We were all very sorry to lose her for we had learned to love and appreciate her. We then elected Miss Johnson as sponsor who has ably filled that office. Sophomore Sidelights. RECEPTION Not forgetting our promise to entertain the new Freshies, we held a reception for them in the Administration Hall of the High School. The place of merrimaking was beautifully decorated in our class colors and not slighting our rival class, we used their colors, purple and white. The evening’s entertainment was opened with a grand promenade led by the presidents of each class after which John Zurbrigen mounted the stand as auctioneer and offered the guests packages of various sizes for which large sums of greenbacks were proffered. The Sophomores gave the lower classmen appropriate gifts, which caused considerable amusement and not a little hilarity. After some very entertaining stunts and fortune-telling which we all took greatly to heart, sherbet and wafers was served. The guests declared that the Sophomores were not such a bad lot after all. AMBASSADORS BALL. “Great men are always appreciated.” We were strong believers in our own philosophy, and had come to the conclusion that we would be great men if only in dress. The nature of our party was an ambassador’s ball. We cared nothing for war or strife that evening. Kaiser Wilhelm and the Czar met on friendly terms. When we arrived at the White House (which was only N. II. S.), we were received by the President, Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Lansing. The evening passed rapidly, games and contests forming the amusement for the guests. At the close of the evening every one took part in the Virginia Reel after which refreshments were served. We departed declaring it to be an all star production. We never dreampt sociality, Required such formality; We live in sheer jocality, For nature is reality. Freshmen. FIRST HOW: Kvana, (hi: ! I.

Clarence Kellogg. Freshman Class History. We entered High School as fresh but no greener than the other classes. There were about ninety of us the first semester which increased to one hundred and twenty-three the second semester. During the year as Freshmen we had many good times which we can never forget. Parties, Pranks, Prattles of Precocious Primary Pals. SOPHOMORE SOCIABILITY. Imagine us stepping into society the second week of school. It took Miss Love and her observing proteges to discover that we needed a formal introduction into the society of the N. H. S. (Numerous Hilarious Students). We accepted their invitation for Friday night, September 15, and met ninety strong in administration hall with almost as many Sophomores and teachers. The main stunts of the evening were preceded by a grand march which terminated in the initiation of our president. One of the most notable events was the auction sale in which the high cost of living was strikingly illustrated. It was necessary to form corporations in order to purchase a toothpick or any other article of value. A short musical programme was given by members of the second year class. Oh! that pie eating contest! How our sides did ache! FRESHMEN FROLICS. On the evening of November third. Administration Hall became a hall of fame. They were there, all of ’em—Joe Stecher, Mary Pickford and President Wilson to confer with the witches and eat pumpkin pie. Ten o’clock came too soon for us but in the one short evening we decided that the members of the freshmen class were all good scouts. FRESHIES VS. SOPHOMORES AND SUB FRESHIES. There was no thought of the work of th new semester nor were there any signs of the cares of the last, when the freshmen, sub-freshmen and sophomore class met to celebrate its departure. Someone suggested that we pay our debts to the Sophomores and welcome the new members from the Junior High. So on Friday evening, Jan. 1!), we tacked up the red-green and the purple-white banners and proceeded to make merry. It’s no wonder the populace in the vicinity of Sixth and Philip thought of phoning Dr. Charlton on the hill. The company became exceedingly hilarious. It must have been about the time that Mr. Simon drew the tail on the donkey, (which entitled him to a valuable prize), or it may have been the deeds of Madame Jagermann who had the ability to foretell shadows in the future lives of those present. We had mighty good eats! Ask anyone who was there. That is only half the fun Our class anticipates; We’ve plans for hikes and picnics On some future dates. Athletic Association. In order to put athletics on a proper basis an Athletic Association was formed soon after school opened. Bernice Barrett was elected president and Asa Hepperly secretary and treasurer. Membership cards were issued to one hundred fifty-five students which entitled them to special rates of admission to all High School activities. . t . . One of the first duties of this new organization was the reception of visiting teams. This was especially well executed with Lincoln High and the Nebraska Aggies who stayed over night. Entertainments were planned in which speeches, music, games and eats furnished the amusements. Another important custom established by the association is the awarding of sweaters to two year athletes. The purpose of this reward is to get the boys out in their Freshmen year and encourage them to stay with it. The proposition was made possible this year by the proceeds of the Swiss Bell Ringer entertainment. In football five men filled the requirements: Capt. Blakeman T8, Fav Rorapaugh T7: Richard Hille ’17; Roy Rosenthal T8, and John Zurbrigen 'i9; and all but Robert Rice ’17 are eligible next year. In basketball onlv three filled the bill. They are Capt. Rorapaugh ’17, Richard Hille ’17, and Glenn Shively ’19. The Association is deeply indebted to the business men whose cooperation made possible a better schedule and showing than ever. The finances are in fine shape despite the heaviest schedule in the history of the school. Financial Report Cash on hand Sept. 1, 1916......

On Dec. 14, 1916, Capt. Clare Blakeman honored the football team, coaches, principal and superintendent with a banquet. A delicious four course dinner was served at 6:30 which was tackled in fine shape. The high school colors, red and white, predominated all thru the course. The table was decorated to form a gridiron. Red ribbon market! off the ten yard lines on a white tablecloth and lighted candles with red shades formed the goal posts. The real pigskin was located in the center of the table. With a full stomach each member present tried to make a speech after which Carl Simpkins ’18, was elected captain for the coming season. The remainder of the evening was spent in football gossip and we adjourned in good spirits. BASKETBALL BANQUET. Capt. Fay Rorapaugh issued invitations to the basketball coach and squad, and a few faculty members for a banquet March 17, 1917. The company found their places at the table by hand-painted basketballs containing their names. Here war prices were forgotten for once and a bountiful spread was done away with in fair style. After the dinner, music, games, and the old time basketball talk filled the evening. The gang disbanded at an appropriate hour with the impression of another good time on their brains. Foot Ball. Coach L. B. Walker. Mr. Walker started his athletic career in Lincoln High School as captain of the second football team. From here he went to Chicago where he played on the Hyde Park High School baseball team. While at the Chicago University he turned out faithfully two years for the Freshmen football team. After being out a year he finished school as a member of the 1911 Big Nine championship team. In 1913 he began making use of his valuable experience in the Philippine Islands coaching a track team at Manila High School. In 1915 he returned to the United States and landed at Norfolk High School where his ability to make a win- ning team from a bunch of scrubs speaks for itself. Norfolk High School is fortunate in having a coach of such ability and influence. The Season. The football season of 1916 gave Norfolk High School more prestige than ever among the first class teams of Nebraska. With only a handful of experienced players to begin the season Coach Walker and Capt. Blakeman opened the workouts full steam ahead. They uncovered a host of new material which soon drove despair out of camp and gave promise of a winning team. The team that finished the season was an entirely different squad from A the original and altho the hardest battles came during the first part of the season Norfolk High School was proud of the great showing made especially against Lincoln and Omaha. That the team had a right to championship honors was proven when three of their men— Hille, Rorapaugh and Simpkins—were given positions on the All-State team. To the success of the season a large share of the credit must go to the second team which took the hard knocks in p:actice. Their only reward is the hope of fighting in the front ranks in the coming season. Five games won and three lost is a record of which we all are proud. The school gave good support to a team that well represented clean athletics and high scholarship. Football ROY RORENTIIAL, ‘18 2ml year Q. 11. i:.«; LETTER MEN john nmmaRV. i� 2nd year ■ L.

On September 29th the team journeyed to Genoa with lots of pep but little confidence, for their first real battle. It was an even match as to size and weight but superior teamwork gave us the big end of a .15-0 score. Lincoln 7, Norfolk 0. The next Tuesday night Lincoln wired for a date. They had a corking good team and came here expecting an easy victory. But they were slightly disappointed. The first half ended 0-0 in our favor and an enthusiastic crowd was expecting a scoreless game. The disappointment, however, came in the third quarter when Pug Griffin got away with a 40 yard run for their only touchdown. Omaha Commercial 0, Norfolk 27. The team now began working to beat Omaha. Commercial High was the first on the schedule for Friday, October 13th. We rimmed them 2;-0 to the tune of the firemen’s band. Thus by comparative score we were on a par with Central High. Omaha Central 12, Norfolk 0. This was the hardest battle of the season. They had heard of Norfolk before and came prepared to the fingertips. Although the snow was banked up on the sidelines, the field was dry and the weather was ideal for the game. The first quarter was sexless but in the second Omaha succeeded in getting Monearty over for the first touchdown After a little plain talk between halves, we again succeeded in holding them scoreiess the thin! quarter. But in the last quarter, after pushing us to our 10-yard line Morieartv again landed an unexpected forward pass on the fourth down for then-second touchdown. Then Norfolk took the offensive and by a series of crossbucks and end runs began marching down the field to Omaha s 5-yard line. Here they were held for downs and the ball was punted to the center of the field and the final whistle soon ended the game. Blair 0, Norfolk 51. Outweighed and outclassed Blair came here only to be defeated by a large score. They found our line like a stonewall and forward passes a failure. It was a good practice game and our subs were given a chance to share the honor of a 51-0 victory. Gothenburg. The joy of the season turned into a grief when Gothenburg went back on a signed contract for a game scheduled for November 10th. West Point 7, Norfolk 14. With considerable gloom in camp and several regulars out of the lineup we made our second and last journey of the season to West Point Wednesday, November 8th. West Point boys played the' game of their life while we were asleep. Our two touchdowns were made the first half and then we got stuck in the mud and let West I oint slip away for a touchdown on a fake in the third quarter. This was the poorest game of the season and the squad failed to show their regular form and ability. Nebraska Aggies 19, Norfolk 12. After a little slump in practice the team appeared on the gridiron Friday, November 23rd, with the Aggies as their opponents. The U. of N. Cadet Band proved too much for our jitney band and furnished most of the music. Our team had not fully recovered from the two preceding games and allowed Capt. Osborn to wade thru for three touchdowns in the first three quarters before they woke up. In th second half the old time pep was injected and “The Husky Farmers” were crowded back for two touchdowns. We were on our way for the third when the final whistle ended the game, in which time—or a little more fight at the beginning—would have told a different story. Nebraska City 0, Norfolk 35. Thanksgiving dav found the team back in the old spirit. Nebraska City came here with a clean record and hoped to beat us by a big enough score to claim the state championship which went to Omaha. Norfolk took the offensive from the start and kept their opponents on guard practically throughout the game. Although they held us 7-0 the first half, they could not stand our onslaught the second half and we tore through at will with an invincible spirit for 35 points. This ended the season with 179 points to our credit to our opponents 45. SECOND TEAM. On October 14th, Coach Walker and Capt. Askey took 15 lads representing the second team to Creighton. Although outclassed by their heavier opponents our bunch made a good showing, holding them to 27 points and scoring a dropkick which the referee failed to see and allow. . . Turkey Day gave this so-called second team another chance to appreciate the roughing they had received from the first team. They went to Plainview and made a touchdown while the Pierce County Champions only scored 26 points. Basket Ball. Coach D. W. Kline. Mr. Kline comes to us from University Place. He is an athlete from the cradle up playing anythin from ping-pong to football. He made his first public appearance on the University Place High School team in his Freshman year, h rom here he went to Wesleyan College where he played three years on the academy and four years on the varsity team. This team held the state intercollegiate championship in basketball for five years and Kline holds the reputation of being able to make any team in the world. During his last two years at college he had complete charge of athletics at University Place High School. This was his first year here and his ability to do things takes him out of our realm into a bigger field next T year. Norfolk regrets very much to lose such a worthy coach. The Season. The basketball season of ’16 and ’17 was worth the candle, but in only a few games did the team wake up to the spirit of the game and measure up to its ability. Seven games won and five lost is the record but when the spirit of fair play and the attitude of the men is added it is a record never to be forgotten. It stands as an example of the best and cleanest our school ever had. Norfolk High is waking up to the fact that her place in athletics should be near the top. Such a place can never be reached until a high school gymnasium affords ample room for practice and training. Long and regular practice hours must be provided each day if a championship team is to be developed. In teamwork Norfolk High never was outclassed. The failure of the team lay in its inability to locate the basket. The support of the school was never at its best and a winning team cannot be realized without a winning enthusiasm back of it. There is just one big cause that makes for a successful team and that is desire. The school itself must first desire that sort of a team and be back of it with a world of “pep” and then the team itself must catch the winning spirit. Here’s for a driving, winning spirit in the high school, and then the future of Norfolk High School athletics will not be in doubt. D. W. Kline.

Norfolk 26, Madison 21. Without any practice the season started at home with Madison Friday, December 15th. Norfolk held them to four free throws the first half but played poor ball the second half due to lack of training. However the lead in the first half saved the game. Norfolk 20, Genoa Indians 48. After Xmas vacation the team went to Genoa for their first real game of the season. The Red Skins had held a perfect record for four years which was more than we could spoil. The game was close the first half standing 18-13 in their favor but the second we were easily outclassed by their clever playing. This was our first defeat. Norfolk 30, Newman Grove 19. The next Friday Norfolk showed one of few streaks of real form during the season by playing the fast Newman Grove team off their feet. It was a royal battle from start to finish in which superior team work and fight won the game for us by an eleven point margin. “Stub” Weber played the star game. Norfolk 52, Oakdale 17. Friday night, January 26th, the sheep and goats followed the dogs for once to the gym to see a game of basketball. In a one sided exciting game we easily outclassed our lighter opponents from Oakdale. “Chalk” Rosenthal did the effective work caging 16 baskets. Norfolk 20, Stanton 35. The following night a record crowd saw a thrilling game with Stanton. Norfolk had the fighting spirit but lost the game by playing too much on the defensive, forgetting the need of strong offensive in meeting a team equally as strong. This game pointed out several weak points in the team and a stronger offense was worked into the squad during the remaining season. Norfolk 16, Fremont 35. February 2nd being groundhog day, the team journeyed to Fremont through an avalanche of snow and there Fremont lived up to the hog part of the day by trimming the Norfolk aggregation 35-16. Both teams played a very ragged game during the first half. In the second period Fremont played true to form and set a fast pace in response to which Norfolk failed to aspire and made the poorest showing of the season. Norfolk 40, Madison 33. February 9th found three of our regulars out with their grades below par. The subs however stepped in and filled their places with glory at Madison. In the first part of the second half we had a walk-a-way and “Stub,” “Bally” and “Ror” shot baskets without restraint. “Sim” Willey made one of the prettiest shots of the game. After taking out time our team lost their form and failed to recuperate until time was up. Norfolk 19, Clearwater 22. In order to keep up interest at home a game was staged here with Clearwater, Feb. 16th. Stanton had had a hard time to beat them some time back but they proved no match for us. Our teamwork did the business. Shively did the guarding stunt while “Ror” shot the baskets. Norfolk 26, University Place 13. After a week of extra hard practice we fought the hardest game of the season at Kline's home town Feb. 23rd. All the clever things Coach Kline had taught the team were displayed in this game. Our teamwork was worked to death on the large Wesleyan floor and this, coupled with better basket shooting, gave us the lead from start to finish. University Place came into the game overconfident by having a better record. In score comparison they had previously defeated Fremont and lost to Lincoln and Omaha by a point. Norfolk 16, Nebraska Aggies 20. Luck was against us the next night. The Farmers played a good game but were outplayed when it come to teamwork. It was our game until the last three minutes of play when the Aggies rolled in the needed baskets. The team showed the effects of hard work the night before and lacked the extra pep to recover the game. Norfolk 32, West Point 28. West Point finished the season here March 2nd. The game was anybody's until the last whistle proclaimed Norfolk the winner by four points. “Dick” Hille played the stellar game shooting nine baskets. Norfolk 7, Harvard 8. Norfolk was entered as a Class A team in the state tourney at Lincoln. In the first round we drew a bye. Our first game was with Harvard. The first 10 minute half ended 7-5 in their favor. In the second half our team all but tied them. They made one point on a foul which won the game for them and put us out of the running. This ended the season. Norfolk won 7 out of the 12 games played scoring 334 points to their opponents 299. Brain and Brawn. Brain and Brawn Contest. 1915-16 TOURNAMENT The tie between the classes of ’17 and 18 for last year's championship was decided by scholarship of the first six weeks of school this year. The Seniors easily outwitted their rival class anti consequently were the first to have their name engraved on the trophy cup. Basketball. GIRLS. The 1916-17 contest began with this new stunt. In the opening round, November 27th, the Juniors took the untrained Seniors to a 19-6 cleaning. The Sophomore-Fresh men game was not quite so one-sided, only luck gave the Sophomores the big end of a 4-3 score. December 12th again saw the girls in the old time fight. The Seniors showed a great improvement winning over the strong Sophomore aggregation 4-2. The Freshmen must have lost heart in the first game as their strong quintet failed to show up. Their subs, however, saved them from disgrace although they were defeated 33-9 by the invincible Juniors. December 5th the Sophomores gave the Juniors the battle of their lives in the tournament. It was the roughest game in the tournament. After a tie game the first half, the Juniors came back the second half and carried the honors 17-10. The next night the Seniors showed a little form and walked away 18-2 with the down hearted Freshmen. Another chance, they say, would have given them the tournament. BOYS. This was the hardest fought contest in the tournament. December 11th the Juniors easily walked away with the Seniors 26-10. The Sophomores also had an easy time with the Freshmen beating them 14-8. In the second round, December 13th, the dope was upset. The Seniors won their first game in four years by beating the strong Sophomore quintet 20-17. The Juniors fell victims to the inexperienced Freshmen, losing a 12-11 battle. All teams were tie now and the rest of the games were postponed until after the High School season. On March 12th, the flippers appeared for the final round-up. The Seniors nosed out a 23-20 victory over the Freshmen and the Juniors stood an even chance for championship by defeating the Sophomores 22-20. In the championship game March 14th, the Seniors beat the Juniors 21-16. Luck was also with the Sophomores as they beat the Freshmen 23-22 in the last few minutes of play for third place. Declamation. This event was staged in High School Assembly, Friday, March 2nd. Two representatives from each class competed for honors. According to the judges, Ray Diefenderfer won first place for the Sophomores by reading a humorous selection entitled “Peck’s Bad Boy.” Second place was awarded to the Juniors represented by Helen Beels who read 44A Cuban Tea.” Even the Freshmen were in the limelight. Dolores Carlin read 44An Aspiring Dishwasher,” for third place. Debate. Question for debate this year was, ‘‘Resolved, That the Monroe Doctrine Should Be Abolished.” The first round was between the Seniors and Juniors; and Sophomores and Freshmen. The Seniors and Freshmen upheld the affirmative. The Seniors and Sophomores won. In the final round the Seniors vs. Sophomores and Juniors vs. Freshmen, the Juniors and Seniors took the affirmative. The Freshmen defeated the Juniors in an indescribable way. The championship debate between the Seniors and Sophomores was a hair raiser. The judges gave the Sophomores the battle by a 537-500 score.

Some of the members were just commencing their various musical careers but in a short time after several practices, good results were obtained. They played at several chapel periods, at the Y. M. C. A. for public occasions, at the Junior High and the Junior class play. Recently they purchased more difficult selections and accompanied the annual High School cantata “Martha.” They also played for a number of commencement occasions. Cantata. “Martha,” by Flotow.

As the dew is to the flowers, so is good literature to the heart and soul of man. Refreshing to the tired intellect, inspirational to the soul, it brings out all of the best qualities of which man is possessed. Literature suggests more than merely human pleasures, enlarging the field of vision and revealing new worlds, hitherto undreamed of. It has a quality which no other man-made thing possesses, that of permanence, which is derived from the fact that good literature is almost universally read, everywhere within the borders of civilization. It appeals to the artistic sense, revealing a higher form of beauty than that which is apparent to the super sense of man—his soul. Hollis Askey. Friendship. It’s the little things in life That make it worth the while; Sometimes its a cheery greeting, And sometimes a sunny smile. If we only could know how much, The clasp of a hand might mean; Sometimes it makes dull skys look blue And faded grasses green. And somehow a slap on the back, Will make everything look bright; It’s the wonderful feeling of friendship That sets the whole world right. Esther Newman. Compensation. Beyond the valley where yon river meets the sky. And purple haze caresses the gray hills, Man shall find peace in solitude. For after those long languid shadows fall At the sunset of life, comes the twilight, And it brings healing on its wings, Uniting the finite with the infinite. This to those who hold God’s law supreme, But those who gaily dance the meadows thru In search of winding brook and lovely flowers, And forsake to climb the tedious way Thru the hard stubble to the far off heights; Night shall overtake them in the dull valley, And they shall wearily drop their heads in shame. Anon. i Songs and Poems of the N. H. S. 01)E TO FRIENDSHIP. In the yard are some smouldering branches. And the fire seems to almost be dead, Till the breeze upon the flame dances, And a blaze is readily spread. My heart is the smouldering fireplace, And my thoughts are dark and sad, Till comes the breeze my dark thoughts to erase, And to make my sad heart glad. Do you know what the breeze is, my reader ? Just listen and you shall be told, True companionship is the breeze, dear, That starts the flame as of old. And when I am sad anti lonesome, My thoughts will invariably fly, To those who think sorrow is loathsome, My friends of the Norfolk High. Where people give all their true friendship. The joy cannot be dead, And the blaze of happiness lends it, Joy to all over spread. Eula Mayfield. S-E-N-I-O-R—'TUNE TO M-O-T-H-E-R. S-is for the studious ways of Seniors, E-is for the endless work we’ve done, N-is for our notorious demeanior, I-stands for the influence we exert, O-is for the other that will follow, R-ineans rest assured that we’ll follow, Put them all together they spell Senior A word that is supreme just now. N. H. S.—TUNE TO “I LOVE THE WHOLE UNITED STATES. We love our dear old N. H. S. From Freshman green achievements To Senior strife and stress, With mention to the Sophomores The Juniors are the rest; The faculty is with us When they know we’re at our best. We love our good old football team, Basketball is in it too, Every one both great and small, In Norfolk High we love them all, We love our dear old N. H. S. WARTIME. Oh! see the yonder trenches deep, And hear the guns’ loud roar: There lies a soldier fast asletp, As o’er him the bullets soar. Oh! hear once more the roar and noise, Of guns and marching feet; Are they fighting bravely freedom’s cause Or killing men ’cause they’re cheap? The war cloud thickens o’er them. The men fight bravely onward, Closely about their foes do hem. And one by one fall forward. Again another day is here. The field is quite deserted, Except the dead ones here and there From homes forever parted. Oh! stop the cruel war’s lightning, You, who have power to do, For brothers about are lying, Who sacrificed life for you. There’s widows and many an orphan, Sit watching and waiting at home; And eagerly, earnestly the horizon scan, For loved ones returning to them. Hazel Josiassen. Lecture Course. The first number of the High School Lecture Course was given at the M. E. Church. Prior to this time the Seniors had given much time to the selling of season tickets. Due to the lack of co-operation of the class members in this work, it did not prove to be as successful as it should. “The Zedlers,” a musical company gave a pleasing program to an interested audience. The second number, “Sidney Landon,” a literary reader, could not reach Norfolk on account of a blockade. This number was filled later in the course. The Davenny Quintette gave a very delightful musical program in the High School Auditorium. On'account of the character of the musical selections it was thought best for it to be held at that place. The company proved very interesting and gave their best because of the enthusiasm shown by the crowd. Choice parts of the Bohemian Girl were given. The solos and reading were especially well given while the house clapped for encores. On account of the inclement weather the next lecture was not well attended. At that time James A. Burns gave us a splendid idea of his work in connection with the education and advancement of the mountaineers of Kentucky. The Morningside Glee Club rendered their selections to a good crowd. Their little play sketches” and “college scenes” took especially well, not saying that some few persons modestly might have been shocked. The contract allowed for half of the profit or loss to be shared between the contractor and the Lecture Course fund, hence we have eight dollars and sixteen cents from which the expenses of Mr. Boardman’s lecture will be extracted.

In keeping with the custom of previous years Norfolk has been a member of the Nebraska High School Debating League. The High School debating team was selected from the interclass contestants by the faculty. Those on the first team were Hollis Askey, Edwin Baum, Charles Hamilton and Mabel Fuesler, alternate. Miss McDowell was chosen coach. The question, as decided by the league was: “Resolved, That the United States Should Abandon the Monroe Doctrine.” In order to give the first team a good “work-up” for their debate, a second team was chosen consisting of Deon Drefke, Mable Fuesler and John Zurbrigen. A debate between these two teams was held in the Assembly February 14 in which the second team won. After this, entertainment, refreshments were furnished by the Seniors. The first league debate was with Randolph at that place. Norfolk was awarded not onlv the unanimous decision of the judges but also first, second and fourth places in individual ranking in the following order: Hamilton, Askey and Baum. By a unanimous decision of the judges the debaters won over the Battle Creek team Monday afternoon in the High School Assembly. This is the first time in the history of the school that they ever won over Battle Creek. On April 20, Norfolk defeated Oakland at that place. This was to decide the district championship of the district. The decision was two to one in favor of Oakland, although ours were unsuccessful in this debate the team won within one debate of the district championship which has never been accomplished here before. Miss Johnson has had charge of the debaters since the contest at Randolph. Mrs. O’Shea has been coaching the different members of the team in presentation.

One of the interesting programs of the year was the High School Declamatory contest held in the Assembly, March 16. “Pa’s First Degree,” was listened to by an enthusiastic audience who were pleased when the speaker, Ray Diefenderfer was awarded first place by the judges. Ray represented Norfolk at Wayne at the Annual Northeastern Nebraska Declamatory Contest, April 29, and while he did not take a place, committed himself very well. A close second in the local contest was Helen Beels in “The Cuban Tea.’ The presentation of this showed careful study and interpretation. Delores Carlin was given third place.

It was quite evident that the Walkers had heard rumors of this affair, so had Mr. Kline, for when the guests arrived he was busily making preparations for a decorous debut, so ardently in fact that it was necessary for the august bodv to enter the home uninvited. The kitchen was immediately turned into a factory for the manufacture of duplex taffy. Before the evening was over some of the members wondered if it would be possible to get away at all but with Mrs. Walker’s help they succeeded in prying themselves loose before the wee small hours. Political Rally. At the beginning of the school year the Board of Education, the Secretary and the Superintendent entertained the teachers of the schools in the Library Auditorium. Complete amusement for the evening was furnished, when the guests divided into two parties to form a Political Rally. The climax came when the candidates made stump speeches. At the close of the evening a three-course luncheon was served. Cross Country Hike. Resolved, That the faculty shall not become long-faced. It happened about the fifth week of school, Saturday morning at eleven o’clock after a careful analysis. What happened? It was discovered that smiles among the faculty members had almost become memories and that something had to be done about it at once—and it was. The married men and those who will be and ought to be provided a car load of provisions—ham, potatoes, eggs, flour, milk, bread, butter, coffee, sugar, cream, beans, jell, marshmallows, chocolates and goodness knows what else, Miss Durland drove us to Kellogg’s and we spent a very quiet day on the river bank. It was an exceedingly formal function but nevertheless many new discoveries were made about members of the faculty. Some of the most noticeable are these: Mrs. Showalter likes chocolates. Mr. Showalter the same (naturally). M iss Hunter can eat any time. Miss McDowell would make a good wife. Miss Waters makes a good Ethiopian. Miss Johnson is very ambitious. Mr. Simon lost some valuable property. Mr. Walker paints. Miss Ufford is very noisy. M iss Durland has lots of sand. Mrs. Walker is very fond of dough. M iss McMahon very destructive. Mr. Kline a good chef. Kellogg’s grove will ever be hallowed ground. It was there that each member of the faculty relaxed the rigid muscles of the face and became human once more. That same evening several of the members met with the Triumvirate on South Eighth Street to finish the day and eat twisted candy. Frolic of Faculty—Continued. A Barbecue. You never can tell what will happen next—about two weeks before Thanksgiving one of Uncle Sam’s Messengers brought each member of the Faculty a little notice that we were to meet at Mr. Walker’s home on Tuesday evening, November 27th, for a Thanksgiving dinner. Miss Johnson began at once to skip lunches and the grocery stores commenced making hourly deliveries to the Walker residence. It has been rumored that the neighbors had to help store the supplies and that a private phone was installed for the special benefit of Mrs. Walker and Mr. Simon. It makes our mouths water to think of it now. The principle entertainment of the evening was eating and then there was eating, and besides more eating, Mrs. Showalter and Mr. Kline entertained with some clever vaudeville stunts, and between them there was much eating. Some one anticipated all the eating and had foresight enough to invite a doctor. Three rahs for the cook! Three more for the host 1 Miss McMahon Entertains.

Surprises. Miss Hunter had a birthday, ’twas on November twenty-fifth, so certain other ladies the chance could not resist, to celebrate in proper style such an event as this. The purpose of the ladies was to have a grand surprise, so to get the victim ofT, they called on Mr. Simon Wise, whose patronizing manner she could hardly recognize. To repay him for his interest kind, she asked him out to dinner. He acquiesed without delay as though he dare not sting her, and on my word, he did not act much like a real beginner. Behold the crowd that welcomed her on this eventful eve, for every one her birthday knew though she would not believe, that Simon had with nervous mein this project up his sleeve. The waffles came, the waffles went, the ham and bacon too, until L. B. Walker rose and said, “now that will do,” then came the cake in A La Mode and he started in anew. Then “Jenkins up” and “Jenkins down,” passed by the happy hours, and who can tell by all the powers whence came those precious flowers.

In the time of Chaucer, the characters in “Canterbury Tales” casually met at the Inn and exchanged their experiences; today our paths are so diversified that even chance meetings with former friends seems scarcely probable except as friend greets friend through the “Milestone.” Dear Editor of the Milestone, Ainsworth, Neb., Jan. 5, 1917. Norfolk, Neb. I am of the class of ’96, so in accepting your invitation to write a letter for the Milestone I am making my first contribution to that most worthy magazine. For as you probably know the class of ’96 published no Milestone. Some called us lazy. But I am inclined to believe that it was rather an extreme modesty on our part, for while we had perfect confidence in our own ability we were somewhat doubtful of the public’s appreciation of the same. At any rate we certainly were not lazy. There was something doing all the time. Leliah wrote such numbers of beautiful poems and romances we were quite conoined, and Ediths cartoons were a wonder, while Guy worked most diligently and patiently at most any thing but literature. Minnie was great on letters. Floyd’s great delight was Latin, while Arthur and myself, being the eldest of the class, felt the self imposed task of chaperoning them—a heavy one indeed. Two of the class, Ralph and Ora, have passed to the great beyond. They were both popular members of the class. Frank Beels was a little brother to the class and was often with us, and I recall with pleasure a most delightful evening the class spent with him and Ora in their little home on the hill sometime during the summer of ’96. I was something of an outsider coming into your midst for the Junior and Senior years only, but I have always been very proud of my diploma. Norfolk High School was a splendid school then and I have no doubt is even better now. It has not been my privilege to visit the school since I quit it nor to attend the Alumni meeting but sometime I hope to be with you again to meet the old friends and classmates and to make friends. Sincerely yours, Nannie Remy Cotton. P. S. Since writing my letter for the Milestone my attention has been called to the death of Guy Barnes. It is sad indeed when one so gifted must give up his work here on earth so soon. It has never been my good fortune to know another boy who was quite so pure minded and simple hearted as Guy and it was to him we looked to accomplish the great things in the world. I do not know what he was able to accomplish except that he was counted among the best in his chosen profession, but I feel sure that the world is better because of his having lived. My Dear Friends an Fellow Alumnae: Neligh, Neb., March 10, 1917. Here, in this 1917 Milestone, replete with wit and wisdom, facts and fancies, prose and posies, illustrations, through the kindness of the editors, I am permitted to greet you. To the class of 1917, I extend sincere congratulations. You have reached the apex of all school days. In the days and years that are to follow, you must prove the worth of the course you have mastered by doing better work, thinking better thoughts, and living better lives, as a direct result. To the Alumnae of prior years, the “Old Grads” extending from 1916 away back to the dim distance of the “nineties,” yes, even to 1889, I urge Lest We Forget.—Continued. you to preserve or renew your allegiance to the Alumnae Association, representing, as it does, the entire product of the Norfolk High School, which has done so much for us one and all. The very meagre support given to the Annual Alumnae reception and banquets in recent years, has been a source of regret to the writer. When so many mature graduates living within the city of Norfolk never appear at these public functions in honor of their Alma Mater, their loyalty to the dear old high school may be very fairly questioned. May we not greatly improve in this respect, and enjoy a large outpouring of enthusiasm and fellowship one with another, in honor of our and others’ high school days. William M. Darlington, Class of ’99. Dear Milestone: Hampton, Iowa, Jan. 30, 1917. Has another Milestone come so soon? I’m kept so busy with my three lively youngsters and home duties and time flies so fast, I can’t count the telegraph poles and scarcely the Milestones. It seems only yesterday that “the only class” considered issuing a “Milestone,” which I am sorry to say, had not been issued for several years. Yet it’s ten years! I was always sorry our class did not issue one, but glad the classes of late years have. May it never again be discontinued. It is ten years since I’ve thought of school from the pupils standpoint and six since from the teachers. But I’m going back to school again, figuratively speaking. I start “next year” when my little Gwen starts to kindergarten. And it’ll be a great day, take it from a mother who knows. Since leaving Norfolk I’ve been interested in the Hampton High School, my husband being a member of the class of 03. But I’ve never lost interest in the N. H. S. And I’ll never forget that eventful Senior year. The burning of the old H. S. The class scraps, and school in the Congregational Church, “Sneak Day,” and all the exams as a punishment. Ah! that was a rub. I went back to visit H. S. just once. It was the first year in the new building. The teachers were strange, most of the faces were strange, the building was strange, had to be shown the way to the Assembly Room. It made me feel bad so I’ve never gone back, and I depend upon the “Milestone” to tell me about it. Yours for the N. H. S. and the “Milestone,” Geneva Moolick-Wescott, Class of ’07. Dear “Milestone:” Bellingham, Wash., Jan. 21, 1917. The class of 1913 sends greetings and best wishes. If we were to return now for a visit I am afraid we would find few familiar faces; for with the class of 1916, who were Freshmen when we left, graduated the last of our old friends. We shall always look back with a great deal of pleasure to our High School days, and as a class we wish you all, a most successful and happy life. Sincerely, Lucile Hazen. Dear Editors: Norfolk, Neb., Feb. 2, 1917. We welcome the class of 1917 and wish you success in the different lines of work which each of you are about to undertake. It seems but yesterday since the doors of dear old N. H. S. closed upon us and we stepped forward to fight our battles in life’s great school, which differs but very little from Lest We Forget. -Continued. school life. We have learned as Phillips Brooks, “It is not what the best men do, but what they are, that constitutes their truest benefaction to their fellow-men.” Certainly in our own little sphere, it is not the most active people to whom we owe the most. It is the lives like the stars, which simply pour down on us the calm light of their bright and faithful being, up to which we look, and out of which we gather the deepest calm and courage. Alice Clark-Smith, Class of ’14. To “Milestone” Readers: Chicago, III., Jan. 13, 1917. Today as I sit here alone with my books, the past crowds in upon my memory. I think of the class of “1915” and the dear old Alma Mater. It is almost two years since our class left you, and looking to the north, east, south and west, we see our men and women pressing forward in life; all toward the goal of success, using character and education to undermine adversity and difficulty. Although many of us may never again be able to visit good old “Norfolk High,” our hearts remain loyal to her. Lloyd McClow (Mac) and I are here in the Chicago Young Men’s Christian Association College trying to fit ourselves to become Physical Directors. We enjoy our work immensely and hope that more of our Norfolk graduates will be with us next year. This is a training school for Y. M. C. A. Secretaryship and Physical Directorship. The physical work requires three years preparation and includes athletic coaching as well as straight gymnasium work. The course offers such studies as Physiology, Anatomy, Bacteriology, Bible and Advertising. The city affords an excellent opportunity for part time work which in addition to being practical is very essential to the welfare of a student’s pocketbook. There are numerous other features such as Tournaments, Gymnastic Exhibitions, and important Conferences. Many excellent men from high schools, colleges, and the “all important” school of experience are brought together here. When the group is scattered and we say farewell to our Alma Mater we hope to do good to many of the boys and girls before whom we stand not only as directors of physical training but of Life. Walter StefTen, N. H. S. 1915. Columbus, Neb., Jan. 15, 1917. To the Alumni Department of the Milestone: Time flies and it seems but yesterday that we, the class of 1916, were students in your midst, Seniors wise. But a few short months out on the troublous waves of the sea of actual business life has brought us all to the stern realization that our days of supreme happiness were at their zenith when we were students of the old N. H. S. and that there are some things still to be learned. Still life is what we make it, success comes to him who perseveres and it is the wish of the class of 1916 that you, each and every one, will leave your Alma Mater determined to take the cards that are dealt you and play the game and remember that success is done up in cans not can’ts. Sincerely, Clara Miller, Class of 1916. mm Milestone Staff. Milestone Staff. Kithard Hille Athletic Editor Cora Stockton Editor Leo Klentz Aaat.
