Besides our own story, we have attempted to show in pictures another story, that of the pioneer to whom we owe so much. C1-he Stay? of 1926-27 presents this lvoolc to you, hopin that it will recall to you happy memories of g school days. f 3 Q J - 1 love ir, for what it makes me forget, and for what it makes me 'rememberf' 1 P ,g DJEDIICATIION We, the student body of Oskaloosa High School dedicate our IQ27 Maroon Memories to The Spirit of the Pioneers in appreciation of their earnest efforts in laying for us the foundation upon which we have built the present. Ezra Meeker, sturdy in character, sound in judgment, portraying the real pioneer spirit, turned the frst furrow at the new O, H. S. stadium. 4 CONTENTS 1300141 SCI-IDOL 150014 II ORGANIZATIONS 150014 111 ACTIVITIES 150014 IV FEATURE What miracle of weird transforming ls this wild work of frost and light, This glimpse ofglory infinite?

SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION MAROON Mer-1oRuf:s SCHOOL BOARD The Oskaloosa High School is grateful for the more efficient system and the en- larged opportunities which have come to us through the efforts of the School Board dur- ing the last few years. There have been more classes formed and the number of instructors has been increas- ed. A complete library system with a full-time librarian has been added. There now is a class in mechanical drawing with a full-time instructor. In former years only a limited number of students could take Home Economicsg with three full-time and one part-time instructor, now Home Economics is open to all. One full-time teacher has been added to the commercial course. A paid instructor, a member of the faculty, directs our band and orchestra. Those who Wish to take art now have a good opportunity, as an art room has been equipped. All departments have been strengthened. The advantages offered by improved conditions in the High School will eventually be reflected in the life of the commuity. Elizabeth Hawkins H. F. Carlon, President I. H. Terril Dr. F. A. Gillett W.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Our history began on -a bright sunshiny morning, the last day in August 1925, when a little over a hundred awkward, innocent looking Freshmen climbed for the first time those knee-weakening stairs. Since we knew not where to go, we strayed in- to a region known as the Study Hall. The population at this time consisted mainly of awkward girls and green boys. We were at war continually with Heap Big Faculty. English, Algebra, and Ancient History are very effectual weapons when they are used without giving any consideration to greenness. Our population was decreased in the two great battles at Semester Examinations. This is a dangerous place where the enemy has many ad- vantages. On August 31, 1926 we started a great emigration movement. A few, however, preferred to join the new class which took the place we vacated. The chief industry of our class is boosting our school. A large number went out for football and basketball, and one member made first squad. VVe are also well re- presented on the O staff. John Lake brought VVorld Honors to our high school in the World Hero Contest. We are improving gradually. Next year we plan to make another emigration movement farther west to the vacanfcy the juniors leave. You will hear more of us then, if we do not all perish in the battle at Semester Examinations. It seems that we must fight twice a year in order that we may emigrate the next.

A STORY OF THE FRONTIER All was quiet and peaceful in the camp of the white men. The guard, John Hoover, was almost asleep. XVhat was the use of keeping a lookout that night? 't was too stormy and cold for any Indians to be abroad. Finally, the guard dropped in- to deep slumber. Crack! Crack! All the campers sprang up. The Indians had attacked! The leader, Robert Caldwell, spoke sharply to the guard. Why weren't you on duty? There was no answer, for just then an arrow came whizzing by and pierced the heart of John Hoover. Caldwell stepped back, as another arrow whizzed by. Vxfith a cry of agony, John 'jtotts dropped dead. Roger Sl erman fired his gun. An Indian fell and then Sherman dropped to the ground. Isaac Hartness, of the campers, dodged a shot, then fell by the next arrow. The only ones left now were the leader, Harold Knox, Stephen Cook, Howard McFadden, Maynard Mallard, Carl Carlson, and Ralph Hart. The last two mentioned fell at the same time. Mallard threw his spear, then dodged an arrow. An Indian entered from the rear, and stood back of Harold Knox, with knife uplifted to kill. 'Cook killed the Indian with a shot, but not before the brave had scalped Knox. Gnly three were left. Caldwell's refuge back of a tree was discovered by a native, who came suddenly upon the pioneer and scalped him. The last two dropped at the same moment. Only savages were left. They crept silently away. The battle was over! - I The camera clicked on the final scene. Come on, you pioneers, called rut Director Harold Morgan, Show your pep. The dead men arose, and resumed their first positions, while the camera clicked on.

The Hi-Y has had a very successful year, including many exciting and novel events. Six basket ball games were played, of which a majority were won by our team. A big event of the year was the entertaining of the Knoxville Hi-Y at the Y.M.C.A. here. A snappy basket ball game was played between the two teams, and afterward a delightful banquet was served. The Hi-Y has held a banquet each month, which has proved very successful in keeping the boys interested. Cameron Beck, the Personnel Director of the New York Stock Exchange and Merle Scott, a Foreign Y.M.C.A. worker, have been the principal speakers here this year. Mr. Scott brought to the whole High School very interesting anad thrilling stories of the habits of High School students in Korea. Mr. Beck also was very interesting, especially with the tales of his experiences with his young employees. Large crowds heard him speak and were inspired by his winning personality. The Hi-Y Club has two types of initiations, the for,mal and informal. The formal initiation is a simple religious ceremony, stressing the serious side of Hi-Y life. The informal initiation is quite the opposite. It is very Himpressivew, with lots of fun for both the victims and the old members. The Club has always been willing to assist in all school activities. They have usher- ed on many occasions this year and also have put on a very clever pep stunt in the assembly. The High School sponsor, Mr. Boatman, has given much of his time to the develop- ment of plans for making the Hi-Y of next year bigger in all ways. Page Fifty MAROON MEMORIES CATHERINE II.

It was first known as the Home Economics Club, but this fall the name was changed to present one in honor of Catherine QI. McKay, the first Dean of Home Economics at Iowa State College. During her twenty-one years of work in this institution Dean McKay was very prominent in both state and national Home Economics Early this year our organization affiliated with the State and American Home Eco- nomics Associations. At the meeting of the state organization at Des Moines in Noveim- ber, the local club was represented by its president, Tone Rhynsburger. One 'of the outstanding features of this year's program was the Christmas party given for some of the poor children of Oskaloosa. Nineteen children from four to eight years of age were entereained with games, stories, eats, a Christmas tree, and an honest to goodnessll Santa Claus. The girls enjoyed the party perhaps even more than did the children. G Q Meetings have been held twice a month, at which the following general themes have been discussedrfrom various anglesg The Best All-Around High School Girlu, Planning and arranging a Girl's Room , The Development of Costume from Time of the Cave Man to the Present Period. Fudge parties, picnics, and such were slipped in occasion- ally, just for fun.

DEPARTMENT This year the vocal department has had a larger membership than ever before. In addition to last year's clubs are the Harmonica Club, Freshman Boys Chorus and Fresh- man Girl's Chorus. Every Club has appeared at least once before the assembly. Some of the outstanding programs were The Tree of Memory, presented on Armistice Day, the Christmas pageant, and the St. Patriclis Day program. The event to which everyone looks forward is the annual Gperetta. This year Carrie Comes to College, was presented, featuring Helen Vifilliams and Harlan. Smelser. This humorous production centers around Spencer, who has fallen in debt at College. Carrie comes and saves the situation by paying his debts for him, Spencer doesn't for- give her for what he thinks is her part of the plot against him, until very near the end. However, everything comes out very happily and surprising developments arise. There were a number of special choruses, vocal and dancing, which assisted in the final pleasing effect. The success of this production was in no small part due to the co- operation of the cast of ll9 people, including the specially selected members of the orchestra. BAND AND ORCHESTRA Our band is the peppiest band that O. H. S. has ever had. They have proved them- selves an essential part of every basketball and football game. They are full of vim, spurring our teams on to victory. The band has appeared in assembly on several oc- casions and has given one public concert this year. The orchestra also has entertained in assembly and has played for many school functions. There are represented in our orchestra instruments which make it very complete, symphonically speaking. Many of the students in our instrumental music department hold seats in the Oskaloosa Symphony Qrchestra, Page Fifty-four GQMAROON MEP10RlE5Qz1 GQDMAROON I lEM0RIESQf-2 BAND Clarinets-Carlon, Young, R.

PIERSEL, tackle, although handicapped by an early-season sickness, was a man whom every team feared, because of his towering strength and football ability. CAPTAIN LAVVRENCE MINER, half back, Osky's veteran backfield man, and rated as one of the best in the state this year, was a whirlwind player throughout the season. JOHN GAMBLE, half-back, the teamls fighting a11d digging ball toter, is one who should receive recognition, as he was always ready with the necessary punch when called upon. ' JOHN HAMILTON, half-back, playing even, a better brand of football than dur- ing previous seasons, was a big factor in this year's success and should improve in the '27 season. MARION WILCOX, half-back, playing his last season for the maroon and white, topped off a brilliant athletic career by making the all-state team for the second con- secutive year. GLEN PERKINS, quarter-back, piloted the Osky pig-skin carriers to the best record in years, and he contributed greatly to their success with a wonderful exhibition of blocking and tackling. LELAND GORMAN, full-back, could always be depended upon to contribute part of the kicking and passing as well as plugging the li11e at frequent intervals. DON BARNES, end, is a player who should become a star next season, since he has the qualities which contribute to the development of a real football player. EDGAR OETJEN, tackle, playing his first varsity season, developed into a power- ful lineman and, being large and rangy, should become an important cog in next year's ine. ED DAVIES, center, leaves a hole which will be hard to fill, as his consistent playing made him a match for anyone whom he opposed, regardless of size or ability. HAROLD CALDWELL, tackle, receiving his first experiengce this year, played a good type of football and with more experience he should develop into a very capable player. BENNY HUNT, end althouigh the smallest man on the team, was one of the most dependable players on the squad and was extremely valuable to his team since few gains were made through him. GAYLE BLACK, end, is one of the team's most deadly tacklers. With his experience, ability, and fighting spirit combined, he should become a valuable wing-man. HOVVARD HOVEY, guard, always fighting and figuring greatly in every play, was a mainstay in the Osky line this season and will be missed next season, ROBERT H EAD, guard, large and powerful, opened up big holes in the opponents' line, through which the Osky Ball-toters made many yards and did continuous scoring. EARL HOY, guard, although handicapped by frequent injuries, filled a very im- portant position on the team and outplayed his opponents in every game of the season. JOE GRAY, end, contributed greatly to our undefeated season, by pulling down almost impossible passes at various times and also giving impenetrable interference to the Osky backs.

H. S. this year. The team, though having but few veterans. turned in an unblutted record. This schedule consisted of seven wins, over Osceola, Mas n City. VVashing1ton, Grinnell, Albia, Margshalltovvn, and Ottumwag twa tie games, with liast High, Des Moines, and Kirksville, Missourig and no defeats. Holding undisputed triumphs over these, seven highly rated sehools,the marorn and white warriors are due much respect, as this is the cleanest and best record set by an Indian eleven in many years. The entire school may well feel proud of the team which Coach Markley has made through his serious eff rts, aided by the team's attitude townril the game. The whole student body was loyal in their support of the team. All the games were marked by fast clean playing and none of them were lacking in fury and fighting spirit, backed by a grim determination on the part of the team. The sclsool should greatly h nor an elexel tliat can turn in such a record and also polish up the season by placing men on the first and second all-:tate teams as well as in the h norable mention column. Though many of the Oslcy players will be lost next spring by graduation, Coach Marlqley plans to build up an even better brand tif team next fall, which Will be backed up with more pep and enthusiasm than ever before in school histcry. Page Sixty MAROON MEMORIES Captain JOHN MAMILTON, guard, being a whirlwind dribbler, fitted very nicely into the Osky style of floor-play and basket-tossing. John, mixing his unlimited fight with his lightning speed, was always in the game and gave every ounce cf energy. Be- ing chosen for the all-state team marked the finish of Hamick's brilliant career. EVAN BROOKE, forward, was fast on his feet and possessed a good basket eye, the two main requisites of an outstanding player. His consistent game and accurate basket-tossing enabled the 'Indians to stage the wonderful exhibition which they showed throughout the season. He was honored with an all-conference forward berth. OREN lAMES,forward, had the speed and endurance which make a superb player. When! James was g ,ing right, he was dead shot from any spot on the floor and was a constant source of worry to the other team. He could always hold ltis own with larger opponents and was a good In int-getter. Much is expected of him during the next cage season. CECIL LONGCOR, center, though receiving his first varsity experience this spring, developed into a stellar performer at the center position. He was a valuable man at the pivot position because he was a consistent point-getter and made up for the miniature size of h.s fel1,w-players. Ceeil's debut was highly polished by his selection for all-state third team. DONALD BARNES, guard, with a combination of speed, rapid development, and fast floor work, made much worry for more than one forward. Although new at this High School varsity game, Don became a wonderful running mate for Captain john Hamilton and frequently swished the ball through the net to break up a tight grime. DAVID REESE, forward, Osky's smallest man, was the squad's consistent reliable number. He was not a flashy player, but always gave his very best. His basket eye was good, and his floor wcrk was of creditable quality. Dave garnered many points during the season for the Maroon and White, both from the court and via the free throw lane. Page Sixty-one MAROON MEMORIES BASKETBALL SQUAD - After the glorious close of the football season, Coach Markley called for men to participate in basketball. The fellows responded very well, among them only one of the first tea-m from last year. As a whole the basketball season can be called a huge success. Although the sea- son opened with a defeat, after this Dame Fortune favored us. The team took part in three tournaments and showed up splendidly ini all. The sec- tionaltournament was the first one. Here the boys played good basketball and copped the honors from Grinnell. In the district tourney the boys played the best basketball of the whole season and again carried off the honor, this time from Chariton. Through this victory the team advanced into the state finals. Although in the championship round the boys were meted out a neat defeat at the hands of Muscatine, the Iowa State Champions, they entered the consolation with a bang of pep and enithusiasm. Wheii the scores were tallied and the heat of the cage battles was cleared off, Osky was rated fourth in the standing of Iowa State High School Basketball Teams. The Indian aggregation expect a better cage Qeam for the next campaign, though they lose Hamilton, All-State guard and Brooke, Big Six All-Conference forward. ' BTG STX CONEERENCE The Success of the Little Six and several other High School Conferences ing the Middle VVest had made a strong impression on school men and athletic fans through- out the Central Iowa District. After consultation a letter was sent out to several schools that had manifested an interest in the organization of a new conference. Although first replies seemed rather favorable, the work of the organization progressed slowly. The regu- lar schedules of a few of the schools interested did not seem to permit sufficient time to play all the basketball games that a conference would call for, however, the subject was kept warm, our own school representatives being among those who continued the organization of the conference. Finally in the spring of 1926, Grinnell called a meeting, in Des Moines, of the schools interested and the Big Six Athletic Conference was formally organized and a complete basketball series arranged for the 1926-'27 season. The success of the Conference this year has been so outstanding and the interest and friendly rivalry for honors has been so keen, that this spring at the annual meeting which was held at Newton, a 1927 conference field and track meet was arranged, as well as golf and tennis duals, and steps were taken to i11clude conference competition in football for next fall. All forces show that the conference will get off with a giant stride next year. Page Sixty-two 0 GXQMAROON MEMORIESQXQ Boone ,,,.

Page Sixty-four MAROON MEMORIES Vermillion Bensmiller - Covey Miner THE MIME RELAY TEAM V The above four tracksters have achieved the greatest honor that could come to them during a cinder-track career. At the National Interscholastic Invitation Relays held at Mason City, Saturday, May 22, 1926, John Vermillion, James Bensmiller, Avon Covey and Lawrence Miner covered the mile relay course in a remarkably fast time of 3:34:1l to finish fully 50 yards in front of the nearest competitor, West Waterloo. A beautiful exhibition of quartermile running and baton-passing netted the members the clean-cut victory. By this performance each man received a beautiful bronze medal. Also the tri- umph netted Oskaloosa High School an elaborate gilded trophy as a permanent mem- orial. In addition to these a bronze trophy was presented to the school as a permanent possession, if the mile relay team won this year. Through handicaps Osky's 727 team lost a thrilling race by six yards to the fast-pac- ing Sioux City four. Over a wind-swept track the light Oskies, Leigh VVileox, Earl Davis, john Vermillion, and Jack Hiatt, could not hold their own against the bulky vet- eran Sioux Citians. Although the River Boys now possess the trophy the Maroon and White color-bravers hope to regain it for permanent possession by two consecutive vic- tories. John Verfmillion and lack Hiatt return to represent the school next year, A big year is being planned for the '28 season, and from all expectations the new team will ac- complish the longed-for feat.

EORENSTC CLUB The Forensic Club is a new organization this year, fou11ded for the purpose of promoting further interest in forensics in our High School. About twenty-five students were present for organization at the first.of the year. A constitution was adopted by the society, which was drawn up by a committee consisting of Max Roberts, Helen Rowland, and Warre11 Sparks. The following officers were elected: President--Claude Marksg Vice President-VVarren Sparks: Secretary and Treasurer-Max Robertsg Pro- gram Committee--Margaret France and Helen Rowland. Throughout the year a meet- ing has been held once every two weeks in which a program arranged by the program committee was enjoyed. The outstanding work of the club has been the sponsoring of ticket sales for for- ensic contests held here, besides standing behind and boosting all participants in oratory, extempo and debate. Quite a number of the Forensic Club members went out for debate. ln, the first dual meet, which was with Newton uponthe subject, 'KResolved that the Athearn Plan of Religious Education should be adopted , the following teams were chosen: Affirmative- Leo Shapera, Katheryne Stout and VVarren Sparks: Alternate--Michel Stuhlsatz: Nega- tive-Walclo Braden, Carlos Van Nostrand and Eugene Hutchins, Alternate-john Devitt. The subject debated in the Iowa Niue was, 'tResolved that a National Depart- ment of Education should be established. Much of the success of this club is due to the three faculty melmbers, who have devoted much of their time and effort that it might be a stable institution in O. H. S..

WI-IO'S WHO Mary Walliiig won great honyor for O. H. S., when she captured first place in the Girls' Iowa Nine Declamatory Contest. She gave a beautiful interpretation of the dra- matic selection, The Lost Wordf' Michel Stuhlsatz, after winning the home contest, represented O. H. S. in the Boys' Iowa Nine Declamatory Contest, where he made a good standing with the reading, Willie's First Piece . Mary Barr, having won one of the places in the local contest, represented O. H. S. in the Southeastern Iowa Extempo Contest. She ranked high in the contest, and it is regretted that she will not be back next year, Claude Marks concluded his forensic career in O. H. S. by paricipating in Iowa Nine Debate, Oratory, and Extempo. He was chosen captain of the negative debate team and proved himself to be a consistent debater. Due to his usual ease and platform poise he made a good showing in both the oratorical and extempo contests. Margaret France, a participant in the local declamatory contest, went out for de- bate and made the negative Iowa Nine team, This is the second time she has represented O. H. S. in debate, and it is hoped that she will continue her work in forensics next year. Lewis Saunders again proved his loyalty to O. H. S. by representing her as a mem- ber of the negative Iowa Nine debate team. He has the qualities of a real debater, Warren Sparks, after winning high honors in the home oratorical and declamatory contests, went 'out for debate and was chosen captain of the affirmative Iowa Nine team. We hope he will go on with his forensic career next year. Beatrice VVatland, although in her first year of forensic work, proved her worth as a member of the affirmative Iowa Nine debate team. May she not stop exercising her newly-found ability. Eugene Hutchins, a vigorous and enthusiastic debater, represented O. H. S. on the affirmative Iowa Nine team. He was a consistent debater throughout the season.

S. this year have exceeded previous years in both quantity and quality. The faculty, having decided to repeat their experiment of last year, gave one of the best and most interesting productions of the entire year. The Jolly Show, directed by various faculty members, was as usual a great success. One of the new events ushered into O. H. S. this year was The All High School Play, coached by Miss Forsythe. As this gives a chance for each student in high sehol to try out for a play, we are hoping it will become an annual affair. The Jamboree, another new event, was one of the cleverest productions of the whole year. One of the most interesting features of the year was the musical play, Carrie Comes To College. The Senior Class Play, Mr, Pim Passes By was the crowning event of the season. A great deal of credit for the success of the play goes to the coach, Miss Forsythe. Page Eighty FEATURE GXQDMAROON MENORIESQXQ HONOR MAROON MEMORIES WORLD HERO I ESSAY CONTEST John Lake, of the class of 1929, was one of the twelve winners in the VVorld Hero Contest, The contest was wt.rld-wide in its scope, and the award conferred upon John is Considered to be the greatest single honor that has ever come to any High School student in the State of Iowa. This contest was organized last year for the DUYP-PSC of determining the twelve greatest world heroes, according to High School stu- dents. It was conducted by Dr. Augustus 0. Thomas, Commissioner of Education of Maine, and President of the VVorld Federation of Edu- cation Associations. Essays were entered from W nearly every country of Iiurope, as well as from the Vnlted States, Canada, Turkey, India, Per- L' Y sia, Morocco, Mexico, Porta Rico, jamaica, and ttzt' Yirgin Islands. In assembly, February 9, John received the award of 3100, offered by Clement M. Biddle of New York City. He was also presented with a gold medal, in behalf of the National Council for Prevention of Wlar, as a symbol of recognition of a literary effort for peace. john selected for his subject. Benjamin Franklin. llis essay is as follows: BlENllAMllN FRANKLIN Unique in character, winning in personality, Benjamin Franklin has a place among world heroes because he has done so much for America and for humanity. In the scientific world his discoveries and inventions were numerous and of surpassing value. He founded the University of l'ennsylvania, started public-library systems, and created the post-office of America. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution both have among their signatures the firmly written name, Benjamin Franklin. As a peacemaker he is not equalled. Long he held eff the peril of the great war be- tween England and America. Long he battled for the friendship of the French, and, although he was getting old, he persevered in the accomplishment of his objective. He had a large part in gaining liberty for his country. He has been called the many sided Franklin, for he was a patriot, a statesman, a diplomat, an author, and a man of Science. Of sound sense no man ever had more. His great aim was to do good. This aim he certainly accomplished, for his was a life of magnificent usefulness. Page Eighty-two QQJMAROON MENORlESQz1 3 Page Elghty-th GXJDMAROON MEMORIES GIRLS ESSAY CUNTEST In the essay contest sponsored by the National Life Conservation Society, Wilma Pugh, of the class of 1927, received first honorable mention. An essay was written by every girl in high school. Those girls whose essays were selected for the final compe- tition were: Grace Ragen, Mary Louise Else, VVilma Pugh, Louise VVhitehill, Louise Stout, Emma Bainbridge, Katheryne Stout, Margy Vanderwilt, Kathryn Bell, a11d Mary Barr. Wilma's essay is as follows: How a Girl Should Dress, Eat, and Rest to Prevent and Overcome Disease. Every true-spirited American girl takes great pride in maintaining a sound, healthy body. This can be accomplished only by careful consideration of clothing, food, and rest. Her clothing should be loose and comfortable and ofa porous material in winter and summer. The shoes should fit well, giving real support and protection to her feet. A girl should be both attractively and sensibly dressed. Every girl should eat plenty of nourishing food even though silhouettes are the style. Her diet should be balanced, including proteins Cmeat and eggsj, carbonhydrates Cbread and vegetablesj, fats Canimal fatsh, and vitamins and minerals Craw fruits and leafy vegetablesj. A girl to be healthy must have plenty of rest. This includes periods of recreation and relaxation during the day and seven or eight hours of sleep each nightg at least two hours of this should be before midnight. If the average girl would dress, eat, and rest properly, she would know none of the discouragement of ill health, but would possess abundant vitality and know the full joy of living. CONTEST EOR ERENCH STUDENTS A contest was recently organized by a group of American citizens, for the purpose of securing the best possible translation of a notable ,wspeech by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Briand. This speech was delivered at the Assembly at the League of Nations in Geneva, 1926, upon the occasion of the reception of Germany into the League. The contest was nation wide. Fifteen essays were submitted from the French Classes of O. H. S., from which the four best were selected to be sent to headquarters. Those chosen were written by Charles Frank, Luella Moore, Howard Hovey, and Vernon Taylor. The results will be known by june lst. Page Eighty-four MAROON MEMORIES scnooi. iaxnnainr The 1927 school exhibit, Friday, April 29, was the best display of school work that has ever been shown here. The high school building was crowded with visitors both afternoon and evening. Every department was represented in the exhibit, there being special rooyms de t d vo e to science, normal training, history, English, commercial subjects, mathematics, lan- guages, home economics, and manual training. All the grade schools of the city joined together in displaying their work which was l l ' h p acec in t e gym. The high school athletic trophies were also shown in the gym, as was the art exhibit. Great interest was manifested by the large number of peo le Wh d p o atten ed, and it is hoped that the exhibit will be even, bigger and better next year. Haiti :Q JIUNIURHSENTOR MEMORIAL The school year 1926-27 witnessed the co-operation of the Senior and Junior cl ass- es in sponsoring the purchase of a new, modern, and thoroughly equipped motion pic- ture projector. Both classesidecided to make the picture machine their memorial to the school. Each pledged the proceeds of the class plays of 1927 and 1928, together with f , . . unds derived from any other benefits that might be needed. Following the assurance of a new machine various makes were demonstrated, and the work of many others in various high schools throughout the country was noted. The final recommendation was for a high class, professional type of machine. It is hoped that the new machine will be installed by September first and with this in mind, the Assembly Committee is arranging for an excellent visual education pro- gram next year.

MEMORIES t, Page One Hundred One GQDMAROON MEMORIES siENioR Phoimaiscv R. C. H. was reading a book How to Judge a Man's Character in Five Minutes, by Prof. Leo Slimlinsky. He came upon a passage which impressed him deeply. By closely observing a man's features, and the way he acts, any intelligent reader of our book can become an expert at character judging. Our imethod is simply this: You yourself find the most prominent characteristics of the subject. Then you look it up in our little book. For instance, suppose you look up dimples.l' You will find the subject is a bor11 vamp. Beware! etc. etc. Suddenly R. C. H. had an inspiration. Why not buy one of the books and use it to give vocational guidance to O. H. S. Seniors? Ever thoughtful, he determined to send for Prof. Slimlinsky's book, and here are the results: the outstanding char- acteristics Of O. H. S. Seniors, according to R. C. H., and what they mean, according to Prof. Slimlinsky.

Piles and piles of it were waiting to be distributed. The Editor opened a copy to take one more look. As she did so, a sudden drowsiness came over her. The light became dim. Then it seemed as though she were drifting on a cloud-drifting-drifting-drifting -although she still seezmed to be in the same room, I The next thing she knew was that strange figures had entered the room. VVhat kind of people used to wear such clothes-deerskin coats and fringed leggings, sunbon- nets, big shawls? She had a vague remembrance cf studying something of the kind in history class. Then her memory came to the rescue. They were pioneers! What could they want? With a triumphant gesture one kindly old pioneer seized a copy of 'tMaroon Memo- ries. Here is that which we seek! Here is the year book of 1927, the record of the deeds of our great-grandchildren! Let us examine itf! The Editor had a sickening feeling. Her heart behaved queerly. Here, indeed, was the real test of the 1927 'fMaroon Memories, dedicated to the pioneers. What would they think of it? Finally, there came to her snatches of their conversation. ' 'tHow commendable it was for these people to dedicate this record to'us, their an- cestors! Yes, very. But look-here is the faculty! Can it be possible that there are more than thirty teachers in Oskaloosa High School? Me-thinks it has grown exceedingly! And what a striking array, too! Never again shall I claim bobbed hair is unbecefm- ing. The men, toog are they not hanidsome?l' Here are the seniors. More than a hundred. Intelligent looking, are they not? I wager they hate to leave the old school. V And the juniors. This seems to be a real class. They look worthy of fol-lowing in the seniors' footsteps, do they not? , Well, these sophomores seem to be represented in every kind of activity. An am- bitious-looking assortment, do you not think?l' Here's the class I think shows promise. The freshmen, 171 of them, and they all look as though they hadbrains. You can't say that of every freshman. No, sir! Don't be so cynical. Look at these clubs. This school doesn't seem to lack organi- zation. A normal training club, what is that? Page One Hundred Six MAROONI MEMORIES It says, 'a club consisting of those taking the teachers' training courselu A teachers, training course! VVell, what next? Here's another, the Home Economics Club. They even teach cooking and sewing here. Can you beat it? f'Look at this music department. How this school must ring with song! An orchestra too, and a band! And-do my eyes deceive me-a harmonica club! Ezra, I wonder if they can play the old tunes like you?'l It seems to me this Oskaloosa High School is also a training-house for athletes. just look at these football scores! And the scores in the,new-fangletl basketball game! Oskaloosa must be a school to be feared. Besides this book, they publish a paper, the f'O .' Here is the staff. I wonder if they are as capable as they look. f'Plays, plays, plays, Why, the high school is turning out amateur actors and act- resses.

I Even a place for autographs. If I were not just a spirit, I would enter my name. UComrades, what think you of this school? f'Well, it is very nice to be able to journey anywhere at will, as we spirits do, but looking at that book fills me with longing. Oh! that I were alive 3.11Cl young again! Gh! that I could be one of this happy crowd that goes to O, H. S! How cruel it is that we had to be born so long ago! At this moment the Editor 'rose from her place, filled with pity. But she received a shock. Nobody was there-no pioneers anywhere. I must have been dreaming. Then she said softly, But if it were not for them, we could not have our O. H. S. Page One Hundred Seven MAROON MEMORIES Togvoiu in-EN YEARS Q FROM NOW Shut your eyes for just a moment, Shut your eyes and you will see All these happenings recorded, Once again as present be. See the high school, old and stately, See the mob of kids before, Laughing, shouting, restless, reckless, Vvaiting round the open door. Now the class rooms are before us, Places where each eager mind Got a heavy dose of knowledge Ere the school was left behind. Now we hear the halls resounding Wlith a merry laugh or call, Now the tireless bells reminding To be merry is not all. Up the ladder, slowly, slowly, VV'e had climbed our weary way, Stumbling sometimes, ever rising, Till at last-Commencement day! Was there ever such a triumph, Such a thought of battle oler? Such a looking to the future, And all things it had in store? Yet, in looking back, a longing Fills our hearts with sudden pain. All these memories a-thronging Make us wish that once again VVe could walk the halls as students Not as staid alumni dog VVork and play like we belonged there, Not, We've come to visit you.'l So, to freshen lagging mem'ries, As you go upon your ways, Glance upon this annual's pages When you think of high school days. Page One Hundred 'Eight Advantages of the Small College GQDMAROON MENCRIESLT Williaiii Penn Hall PENN COLLEGE Oskaloosa. Saturday Evening Post: In laying the foundation of a liberal education, in forming character by benign human contacts, in fitting a student for life itself rather than for the job which is part of life, the small college still stands Without a rival. The very limitations ofthe small institution preserve it from danger of becoming unwieldy, topheavy or over-extended. What it lacks in plant, it makes up for in personality. Its Very smallness encourages individuality rather than standardization. The human contacts are closer. Men play a freer and larger part. There is as much to be said for the simple life in education as in the world at large.
