Page Twenty-four -The o7VIonitor The Tacks Tack Society, so-called, was originated on the twenty-J second day of March, Nineteen Hundred and l ifteen. at the hour of four-thirty, in the Auditorium of the Osceola High School. 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.

Twwity-ttini Normal Training OH IS year more stress has been laid on the Normal Training work of the Osceola High School than ever before. A complete course has been outlined by Supt. 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.

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. With but three of this year’s team leaving us and from the showing made by some of the new men. a good team may lxi expected next vear. SCHEDULE. ()ct. 1 Osceola .... .... 19 David Citv 6 Oct.
