Nebraska. March 20. 1936. Hear Classmate: As you are working in the heathen countries, where mail service is | or. I presume you did not hear of the Junior-Senior Reception Reunion. I will tell you all I can as I know you will be interested. Stepping out into the frosty air one morning I saw my mail bag fall from the aeroplane which was not a great distance from the ground. Cpon opening the bag I noticed a letter, the hand writing of which I did not recognize. I could feel a strange thrill pass thru me (as it did in my high school days watching a foot ball game as our boys were nearing the line), when I read The Faculty of jyiO request the presence of the Juniors and Seniors of 1016 in the old High School building March ij. pjO. Fight O'clock A. M. I at once got aboard one of the fast planes of the International Aeroplane Transportation Co. Fate must have Ijcen kind for on account of a few lost burrs we were forced to stop at Shelby. Losing my way several times in Shelby’s streets. 1 at last came to the high school. The school is recognized as one of the l est in the state, Being early in the morning, the classes had not yet passed and as I wandered into the study hall I noted that the Superintendent was giving a lecture. It appeared as if some of the girls had been guilty of the crime of Walking in the halls with their arms around each other. Not caring to lose my dignity by laughing (as it brought back old memories 1 I went into the office. When the Superintendent entered I gave him my card and he handed his to me. Well, you can imagine my surprise to see Mr. A. B. Gelwick. Of course I inquired if he had heard of the Reunion. He laughed and said he had helped plan it and was going to leave on the same plane on which I was traveling. It did not take long for 11s to reach our destiny. Promptly at eight I was welcomed at the obi building by our former superintendent, Mr. J. F. Duncan. Walking down the old stairs. 1 noticed, to my surprise, the exact decorations and plans that were used at the Junior-Senior Reception in 1916. You remember how lovely that was. This was as nearly perfect. After the exquisite feast, which was served by the same individuals as in 1916, a plan was suggested in which each member of the faculty were to relate some of their life history. It will Ik? impossible for me to write these speeches as interesting as they were told. Professor Duncan was the first to take the floor. He told us that he was now a retired man, his oldest daughter having shared with him the fortune she had made with her voice. Although Mr. Duncan has retired from professional life. I learned that be was studying the problems of today and was giving valuable advice wherever it was needed. Miss Walker favored us with a solo. s she poured forth the lnautiful notes we thought of her as the German Nightingale. Although we could not all understand the words (as they were German) she cast a spell over the audience that no one wished to break. Finally Mrs.----------. our ln-loved Miss Snyder of former days. stood before us. I felt guilty as I gazed upon her face, for I remembered when we had tried to leant her age. Here she was. aftci twenty years, looking just as young as in 1916. In fact I was tempted to interrupt her several times in her sjteech to ask. The Method of Keeping Young. Miss Snyder was principal in one of the Language Departments of the McXcrney C ollege. She had kept her youth by mixing with the young people there as she did in the Osceola High School. Miss McXcrney appeared dressed in the most costly clothing and smiling as usual. She had discovered that the bail diamond 01 Osceola was underlaid with a very valuable stone which is now a more precious jewel than the diamond. She put her fortune made from this to good use—by donating it to a small college in Lincoln. The McNerney College is now one of the largest in the I nited States. Miss Simpson bad become the wife of a wealth) congressman, but even though wealthy she insisted upon preparing iter husband’s food. It is said that though he grieves because she will work, he enjoys his elaborate dinners. Mr. Gelwick then caused the old gymnasium to shake when he raised his voice to give the old High School yell, in which we all joined. Miss Walker then lead us in the High School song after which we bade farewell. As I see the plane in sight now I must seal mv letter. As ever. Aia'krta Bitiita.

I’.-ijri Klevod Senior The ( Monitor. gFTER searching some time in the dusky, dusty vault I am able to bring to light sonic very important material in the way of history of the Class of Sixteen. From the statistics of Osceola Schools I inferred that the members of the now graduating class were either so smart that they didn't need to attend the First irade or else they hadn't yet found out that the ()sccola Schools were the best. In the Second Grade, however, we find three pupils who have climbed over the boulders of trouble for eleven years together and who have graciously welcomed the new members. These faithful three are Arvilla. Paul and Ivan. For several years this trio had to laugh, work and wait alone, that is. without the inspiring influence of the other members of the present class. Hut in the Sixth Grade the magnitrde of the class grew tremendously, for in this year (Ilenis joined them, changing the trio to « cpiartette. And in tile Seventh Grade. Roy and Floyd added much to the rapidly increasing sagacity of the class. The later years spent here were the most enjoyable: I think almost any member of the Senior Class can recall the exciting tales told of their numerous parties and wienie-roasts. And, again the) were soon to graduate and then—High School! But upon arriving at High School they found things to Ik quite different. They were no longer the upper class but were indeed quite at the foot again. Books, lessons, teachers and even many of their own classmates were strangers, for this year Lillian and several rural students, namely, Elton, May, Edith. Evelyn, and Alverta, joined them. This class not unlike all other Frcshies was green, but leaving it to the world in general, don’t you think we have improved ? ()ne good characteristic of the class was thoroughness, which was so clearly shown in their first class election. Every officer from president to doorkeeper was elected. The class high school spirit was good and their interest in High School activities was proven by their good representation in all of them. We were especially well represented in History' liase ball, foot ball and basket ball, the Freshmen boys winning the Inter-Class Basket Ball Championship. You may be sure that in a class of forty members, class spirit was not lacking and one result of this was many good-time parties, picnics and wienie roasts. Although we enjoyed our school work we were not at all disappointed when the last day of school came. Indeed it was quite the other way and we had to celebrate. This we did down on the Blue River by an all day picnic. The next year we came back as Sophomores and welcomed Georgia. Our class this year only numbered twenty-three, many of our former classmates failed to return and others were still recognized as Freshmen to our great regret. At class election Miss Snyder was chosen Class Adviser. John Deland as President and Edith Query, as Vice-President. During this year the class enjoyed many parties and were the honored guests at the Senior-Sophomore reception. Another picnic closed our second year of High School life. The third year we were known as flighty Juniors and were joined by Mary. Gordon and Donald. This was a very busy year. c were presided over by Alverta Buchta as President and Floyd Heinemeyer as Vice President. During this year the well known club, “The Tacks was organized. We had the honor of entertaining the Seniors to a banquet this year and in turn to Ik their geests at a Fall Festival. Coming Lack as Seniors we were joined by Grayson, who was the last to learn that the Osceola High School was the In-st. Counting we found seventeen ambitious Seniors. This year we were particularly well represented in the high school activates. Though we have done our lK st. we realize we have made many mistakes and wish that the other classes may profit thereby. e sincerely hope that we have done something worth while so that their paths may be made easier. Having spent these four years in High School, we will lx better able to meet the problems of life and in our work we will lx assailed by many pleasant memories of our dear ()ld High! I� ag« Thirteen -----Osceola High School- Senior Class Prophecy AYIXG been in the navy for forty-four years and fighting against all Europe in the war that started soon after T graduated from High School, I will tell this following story to my friends before I die. First I will relate a small portion of my own life’s history if you will permit. Since leaving the navy I have wandered up and down the streets of New York and other small seaport towns and now that I am certain of death from rheumatism and Saint Vitus dance, I. Paul Johnson, will tell what I have for so long kept a secret. One fine day the Rear Admiral set me scrubbing the deck. I saw coming in the distance a small craft. As it came nearer I thought 1 recognized the face of one of my former classmates within. I was so interested that 1 fell overboard and when I regained consciousness I beheld the face of Elton Merck, who had for many years been a pirate of known reputation but as yet had lxren uncap:ured. We were seated on a rock on the sea shore of a small island when with a splash there can e ui on a rock the fair form of a sea nymph. In tones of sadness she began, “For many years I have been waiting to tell some human being of my life and my traditions. I am the Goddess of Love. I travel the world over, in the sea. in the air anti creeping on the ground. I will now tell you the purpose of my visit. 1 know you are sea pirates and 1 come to warn you that President Danielson of the United States has sent out ships for the capture of Captain Bcrck. I wish to prevent you any trouble that I may. Now. Bcrck, since you are an old classmate of mine I will tell you that Heinemeyer is now the commissioned officer appointed by the president for your capture. He was one of the most prominent physicians in the city of Foley. Nebraska, but because of his good work there was recognized by the President. I will tell you a little of the rest of our class Ixfore 1 give yen my plan for vour escape, rvilla Timm married a very wealthy lawyer, her millionaire of former days, and is at present dwelling in Boston. May Olson has become a great German |� oetess and is writing prose for school work also. Ivan Mills has l)een a successful farmer for twenty years and in the evenings enjoys the beautiful violin music given to him by our former Mary Lewis. Alverta Ihichta has become a great opera singer and is making records for Sears-Roebuck Co. A wonderfu new invention for an Allie Gun has been made by Grayson Garner which adds another honor to his name. Glenis Anderson is located in the most savage and uncivilized parts of Africa trying to soothe the savages with her charming music. Roy Horst may at the present time be found at Washington seated in the Senate Chamber. Donald Ray invested heavily in Tokahan Mining Stock and is now putting his time and fortune in studying music. He is the leader in one of the greatest bands in America. It greatly outclasses Sousa’s hand of former years. Kdith Query still remains “Miss.” She is a great tem| erancc worker and also gives lectures on the Woman's Suffrage question. Miss Fvelvn Price helps Miss Query in this kind of work also. Lillian Chauner has escaped in a pneumatic tube that the baker had invented and they have never been heard of since. Just at this moment she said, and Paul Johnson may become a minister more powerful than Billy Sunday. At this I sprang to my feet and she. (Georgia Waggoner, with a shriek and a splash suddenly disappeared beneath the surface of the placid water. Now you ask how 1 came here. Captain Bcrck was captured and I was found helpless on one of the largest streets in America. That is how 1 Ijccamc a subject of these awful diseases, that molest me now. But I will have to refrain from talking for 1 feel another spasm coming on. The Senior The ( Monitor We. tin- class of 1916, of the Osceola High School, Polk County, State of Nebraska.

Jn the other years we have been erecting the foundation of our class fame and since it was so well done, we have been able to do great work: all that remains to Ik- accomplished in the Senior year is the ’’topping off. Of all the classes, the Juniors stand out as a shining star, as the class that is unified. We are hut few. hut we are strong because each one stands in loyal support to his classmates. With Miss Walker as advisor and Don Byers as president, our Junior year has been very successful. We are represented in every High School activity. 'Fhe stars of the basketball team, six of the members of football squad,—and a good showing they made. too.—a member of the debating team, the winner of the Declamatory Contest, all these are from our midst. We have other talent, too. for Ruth is our songbird and (leralyn star musician. Other intenseh luminous bodies in the class are star bluffers and star cut-ups. Whenever we felt that school-life was in danger of Incoming monotonous, we would go off and have a good time together. An enjoyable evening was spent at the party at Lois Shrader's home, while I’m sure the recollection of the recent moonlight picnic brings a thrill to others besides Juniors. As we leave the name ‘’Junior to the present Sophomores, we ask-all those who have known 11s to rememlxT the class of Seventeen just as true Juniors. Here's to the Junior hoys.

Duncan and carried out in full by four members of the class: Evelyn Price, Edith Query, (ieorgia Waggoner and Arvilla Timm. Each of these four members has spent on the average, one period a day, teaching in the Model School and doing substitute work in all the grades. Much time has been spent in making plans for conducting the daily recitations, school room decoration and everything that will tend to improve conditions, aid the community and give better results in the rural schools where any of these may teach. The work has Ix'en enjoyed by all and they, indeed, are very grateful to the O. 11. S. for offering such a splendid course. -Osceola High School— NORMAL TRAINERS. First Row Anderson, Lewis.

It has a charter roll of twelve members, and while it has gained no more in numbers since the time of its organization, neither has it lost any by death, marriage or any other misfortune. The object of the society is to promote the general welfare of the High School and to manufacture lovely tatting, while discussing how we can best Ixmcfit our Alma Mater. The character of this club is hard to describe to the general public. Suffice to say. it is a cross between the Rebekah lodge, and the Phi l� eta Xu sorority. Upon one occasion, the High School was entertained by some irresponsible parties, who. in their reckless endeavors to amuse, dared even to mock this noble society. Since they disclosed no secrets of the order, however, they were forgiven, upon promise never to do such a deed again. Our members are all probably well known !• the High School. They consist mainly of Senior young ladies, and among them are; the most eloquent speaker, the most talented pianist and the sweetest singer in all the wide State of Nebraska. We also claim as one of our members, one of the faculty, very efficient in the line of Knglish, and most prominent in Tack activities. Not bragging on ourselves, of course, but one eminent authority was moved to exclaim, as he gazed upon the club as we were assembled together. Not a bad looking gal in the bunch.” (Ahem-----------.) Of course we cannot disclose our password, which we require of all members upon entering the meeting, but the signal to depart seems to 1h a birdlike whistle from the sidewalk outside our gathering place. At least, when that sound is heard, several Tacks seem inclined to depart in much haste. Speaking of meetings, the Society has had a number of these in tin- past year, and much enjoyment resulted from them. Also, one member proudly displays exactly seven-eights of a f«K� t of tatting. I did every hit of it in the Tack meetings.” she says. Altho the Tack Society is pre-eminently a High School organization, we would not disband because of graduation from this institution of learning, but rather would we always endeavor to promote the welfare of the school in which we have spent some of the happiest hours of our lives.

I'ncc Twenty-five Foot Ball Team gLL of the undertakings of man may Ik summed up under the three heads, the mental, the physical, and moral natures. Each side of man's nature should he developed. 'I’he chief purpose of the different lines of athletics is to develop the physical lx ing as has been shown in past years. Foot ball is one of the most popular and best forms of athletics for this purpose. ()sceola has for several years l� een represented by a foot hall team from the High School. During the foot hall history of this school, several seasons have witnessed an exceptionally good team. There are several points to lie considered in determining the success of a f«m t hall team—if the number of games won is not great hut all that are won are won fair and in a sportsmanlike manner, that team may well lx considered a success. Also, if the coach has new and inexperienced men with whom to work, and they are developed into lirst class material before the end of the season, they may Ik considered a success. The season of 1915 was considered by all. a success in these respects. The credit for the success of this team has well been given to out-able instructor and coach. A. 11. Gelwick.

Basket B 1117- basket ball team f this season was considered to Ik one of the best teams that this High School has ever had. The credit for this team is rightfully due to Coach A. 11. Gelwick. who developed the inexperienced material into a first class team. Floyd Heinemever was elected captain and proved in a very creditable manner that he deserved the position. During the Christmas vacation the team made their first trip. On January 5th they went to Cozad where they won the first game of the season. 'File next night they played at Hampton, hut. due to the small floor combined with poor luck in goal shooting, they lost to that team. The third game of the trip was played at leneva. 1 lore the team expected a good game because they knew of Geneva’s record in the past years and the floor was nearer like their own. hut due t the inexperience of the Osceola men. they lost that game also. They played at Hebron the next night, hut lost that game, not because of inferior men hut becat se f the loss of strength in the long tri| they had taken during the few days just before. The next game of the season was played with the Nebraska State Aggies on January 13th at Lincoln. Osceola lost to them by a small score. The next week Osceola went to Stromsburg and because of the small, pn •-floor lost the game. However, we promised them a very different kind of a game if they would come up here. On the 28th of January. Osceola easilv defeated Grand Island High School on our home floor and with that game our luck changed. n February 4th. the Nebraska State Aggies came here expeeting to defeat ()sccola as easily as they had done Indore hut they were much surprised. On the 11 tli the Stromsburg aggregation came for a return game, fully confident of victory hut they were also much surprised at the Osceola High School all Team score. The next game, on the 18th. when )sceola defeated Geneva, was the best game of the season. Geneva was then considered one of the best teams in the state. After Osceola had defeated Stronishurg in the second game it was decided that a third game should he played to play off the tie. On the 25th of February. Stromsburg came with a special train of rooters and a great game was staged. At the end of that game the score was 12 to 12 and an extra five minutes were added. The final result was 17 to 16 in favor of Stronishurg. Tile next night ('sceola went to Grand Island where they wen defeated by the Grand Island Ihisiness College. On the 7th of March Cozad played at ('sceola hut due to over-confidence on the part 01 )s.voln, C’ozad won. The next game was at the State Tournament where Lincoln defeated ('sceola. At the end of the first half the score was 6 to 1 in favor of Osceola hut ended in a defeat. Seven men played enough to Ik- entitled to their letters. They were Heinemeycr, Gillespie. Reed. Stevens, Horst, Timm and Rasch. Gillespie played left forward and was considered among the l est in the state by the officials at the State Tournament. He was elected captain for next year, a place which he rightfully deserved. Reed played right forward part of the season hut was out during the latter part on account of injuries. Ilcincmejcr played right forward and showed in every way that he was the man for that position. Timm played center and in every game out jumped his opponent. Stevens played right guard, it was seldom his man threw a goal. Horst played left guard and always played a hard, steady game. Rasch was new at the game but made a fine showing in whatever position he had to play. ()nlv Hemeineyer and 1 lorst leave this year and a good team is expected next year. The o7Wonitor. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM. Miss Snyder. Leibea, Shrader. Bartlett. Query, Gooden, Shrader, Epes, Colton. I'affo Twenty-eight Girls’ Basket Ball Team HK Basket Ball season started out this year with a very good V J showing. At our first practice twenty were present. We decided that each class should have a team. After several weeks of hard work, the Sophomores chalicneged the Freshmen to a game. The honors were carried away from the Sophs by the little Freshies. Since the Freshmen and S pin-mores had started it. the Juniors and Seniors began to battle for the honor. The Juniors ran away from the Seniors and hurried to catch up with the Freshmen. The great strife was now on between the Juniors and the Freshmen. They fought for fifteen minutes and the score was six to twelve in favor of the freshmen. After a few minutes rest the teams started again as the whistle blew, the Freshmen shot a field goal and when the final whistle blew the score was 14 to 16 in their favor. I he captain and coach selected eight of their best players from the class teams which made up the High School team, the girls did good work together. Only one game was played during the season, with the Stromsbms High School team on Osceola’s floor. This being the last game of the season the people of ()sceola and Stromsburg came out in great numbers to see the game. At the end of the first half the score was 10 to 6 in favor of the O. H. S. girls. In the next half the score was 19 to 9. Maude Gooden and Hazel Cotton did their duty as forwards, while Myrtle Bartlett and Beulah l-.pes made excellent guards and Deborah I-eibee and Bernice Shrader did their parts in center. The coach. Miss Sender, helped the girls by teaching them many new plays. Most of the girls will lx in scho 1 next year and we hope the basket ball team of the year, 1917 will lx a great success. hijri Twenty-nlm Junior-Senior Banquet HR1DAY evening, March 17th, the Juniors of the Osceola High School entertained the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior banquet. From 8 o’clock until while the guests were arriving, a social hour was enjoyed in the reception hall which had been made beautiful with palms and ferns scattered here and there and its walls adorned with pennants. When the hour was up they were led by Mr. and Mrs. Duncan in a grand march to the banquet hall. Phis room, having been decorated in accordance with St. Patrick’s day, was enclosed within a wall in the form of a huge shamrock, made of strips of green and white crepe paper. The table also signified St. Patrick, there being at each place a green carnation. The courses were served bv eight Freshman girls. Carl Wicscman acted as Toastmaster. The following toasts were given: Emerald Isle .........................Mr. Gel wick Vocal Solo..........................Marion Gillespie “Shamrock”.........................Roljert Gillespie Blarney Stone ..............................Alverta Buchta Vocal Solo.............................Ruth Smith Shillalalt............................Esther Lees “St. Patrick ................................Grayson Gamer Before bidding goodnight they were grouped together at one end of the reception hall where a flash light picture was taken. This will serve to mark an evening to be well remembered by l oth the Seniors and Juniors in their future years. -------------------- Osceola High School— MENU.

The Socialized Recitation method has been adopted by the Osceola 11igh School and in some of the Grammar Grades. Naturally at first it seemed difficult to become acquainted with this method but after practice it has proven to the pupils that they must not only get facts from their text but develop their minds in other lines. I-'acts from the texts also remain longer in the mind if discussed as the individual repeats his point and hears it repeated also. Concentration of the mind is necessary in socialized recitation as it requires active thinking on the part of the pupil to answer his questions. ( hitside reading is required if one text book will not contain the necessary amount of lata for the student to prove his question. Timidness is overcome as the pupil passes over that stage when forced day after day to stand before his class and recite. Although this socialized recitation method is new it has proven its value in one short year and will no doubt improve next year as this very desirable method is to be need. HIGH SCHOOL SPIRIT. High Sclmol must contain the right kind and amount of spirit in order to he successful. The interest would not he taken in school if it were not for the school activities. Taking part in these does not mean that the pupil should neglect bis studies. Athletics, taking part in literary societies. High School paper work, debating, contests and all work pertaining to the school are beneficial localise they are educational and help the school in that they cause more interest in the work. Everyone knows that the High School would not have so many pupils enrolled if it were not for these activities for what would the school be if all were “grinds. Roosting. taking part and pushing forward all school activities make the right High School spirit and it is this kind of spirit that dwells in the Osceola High School. A View From tile Normal Training Room 1’ng Thirty-one Debating Class of 1916 Cl IK debates with Exeter, Rising City and Clay Center arc over and out of the clearing mist emerges the Osceola High School floating the banners of Red and W hite with two victories and one defeat, a record anyone may be proud of. From the preliminary debate held by Wilbur Olson. Gordon Danielson. Evelyn Price. Esther Lees. Grayson Garner. Franklin Stevens, the following were chosen for the real team: Evelyn Price. Franklin Stevens, Grayson Garner and Gordon Danielson as alternate. The question for debate was. Resolved: “That Congress should substantially adopt the recommendation of the Secretaries of War and Navy. ’ The Osceola debaters held the affirmative in an excellent manner. They won with a score of 2 to 1 with Rising City. 3 to o with Kxetcr. Their only defeat being with Clay Center, the score being 3 to o. This speaks well for the Osceola debaters as it shows good sound reasoning, hard work and a mastery of the question. For the success of this year's debating Professor Duncan comes in for his share of glory. I lc has spent hours of hard work training and coaching the debaters, helping each individual debater wherever and whenever possible. Without his untiring energy, so great a success would not have been for (). 11. S. It is with pride that the Osceola High School can boast of her debaters of this year and it is with equal pride that their splendid record and pleasing countenance can be remembered with the pages of the Monitor Annual of 1916.

Pane Thirty-two Ciceronian Society' 'VERY school boasts of a spirit.” A tree school spirit is something deeper than a mere effervescence of yells and songs. There comes to one sometimes, in the midst of school lire, a certain sense of cooperative ownership—of possession. A new purpose is born, to be loyal to the school. The pupils of the Osceola High School believe that school spirit can be best promoted by those organizations known as literary societies. A literary society has many and rather varied aims. It provides many means of expression for a student: it affords training in executive business: it has a social value that may lx counted upon. But the ulterior aim must never lx forgotten—a bigger, better school. This is the great aim of the Ciceronian Literary Society which was formed in the early part of the year. 1916. This society is composed of fifty members of the High Selim I under the leadership of Princi-j pal Gehvick. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: ! Gordon Danielson, President: Floyd Ileinemeyer. Vice-President: Carl Wieseman. Secretary and Esther Lees, Treasurer. A program committee was appointed consisting of one member from each class in High School. In other business meetings a constitution was adopted ami the name tor the society chosen. During the year the Ciceronians have given three programs of which the last was much better than the first which proves that practice makes perfect. Two short plays have been given, called A Day and a Night. A Case of Suspension. They are now planning for a better entertainment than ever given before. The main feature being worked upon is the Cupid of as-sar. which is to Ik given May 19, 1916. ] ngo Thirty-ihrw o4thenian Society OXF. clay last fall Mr. Duncan announced in Chapel that two literary societies woi Id he formed if the school wished it. Almost every pupil was in favor of the idea. The Athenian Literary Society was formed first and it has stood first ever since. 1 he following are the officers elected at that public meeting: President..................................Paul Johnson Vice-President..........................Alvcrta Buchta Secretary.........................

In the last program a little farce, “Two Merry Wagers’ was carried out exceedingly well. Mr. Bob” was given to the public on May 12th in an unexcelled manner. This society has proven what a benefit literary societies are to a High School. The pupils develop their talents in this manner which is interesting to them as well as educational. Ask any member of the Society who has taken part if it has helped them in the lines that all literary societies are supposed to and their answer will he a decisive “yes.” Osceola High School OFFICERS OF ATHENIAN LITERARY SOCIETY.
