The next one you see is Mabel, She laughs as much as she is able; She's dainty and neat, And pretty and sweet, Which is strictly the truth and no fable. IRL BAKER. Oh jolly and gracious is •'Swede.” He's kindly in tliot and in deed, lie's good ai all sports. Always quick with retorts. May he ne'er know privation or need. LOIS BAKER. Here is Lois, tall and serene. In the hall she oft can be seen; She just dotes on cliem And Miss Smith aud- io Math she's especially keen. ROY BALLARD. Of Roy you most likely have heard His eloquence dozens has stirred; This advice he will find Is useful, not unkind. 'Idle worms caught bv the earlv bird.” CECILE BONHAM. Oh. quiet and fair is this maid. She's one whose work is well paid, In grades she receives For surely she leaves A foundation of learning, well laid. CLASS OF 1900, O. M. S. $ MARY COLT. Of manner composed of face fair. Quiet Mary, she is auburn of hair, She sings like a bird, In the glee club she's heard; She's not really prim, it’s her air. HENRY COOK. This handsome fellow is Hank. In statue lie is long and lank; A good friend is he. And we're sure as can Ik , That on him you safely can bank. FLORENCE COOLIDGE. This is Florence, our sunshine lass. Whose philosophy can always pass; Every test of darkest beam, And light it with a gleam Ol rare and golden mass. WILLIAM CUSHING. Will; the president of the class, Is full of fun and jollity, alas! Sometimes for his madness, lie's in trouble for his gladness, Hut he's a fine bov among the mass. C GRACE CAUGHLIN. Here's ‘‘Mrs. Glib,” Graec” or Grace, Always merry ar.d dimple her face, With a smile for each one, And a large store of fun. For the ’00 lads she sets the pace. (). H. S. % CLASS OF 1006, WANDA GEE. Oh, black haired, black eyed maiden, Miss (ice, KulI of sunshine may your whole life be; With your grace and coy wiles, And your glances and smiles, You’ll suit some lucky chap to a tee. HOWARD DAVIS. Here is Howard, quite black as to hair, To do anything he would dare, He is always at ease, And he’s surely a tease. As all of the girls will declare. ELIZABETH HAVEN. As black as a sole is her hair, For naught but her books does she care; A fine cook is she, (She can make fudge and tea), A gay smile she always does wear. DONALD FULLEN. A happy go-lucky chap he, And rather good looking you see; With a dash and a flurry, � He s e’er in a hurry. May he prosper where’er he be. JESSIE GRAHAM. The basket ball captain is Jess, She leads all the ’00 girls in dress. It would take reams to show, All the things she does know— We give up in despair, we confess. CLASS OF 1906, (). H. S. MARY GARNER. Oh, quiet and coy is this maid, Site’s e’er to be found in the shade Of a Greenleaf or two, Hut we know this is true— Of a lark now she is never afraid. JOSEPH DARNER. This Darner, most noted as Joe, J’ho some folk may think he is slow As “Glib” in the play lie was just fine they say, And did he get honorsY Oh no! FLORA GALEY. Flora Galey claims notice next. She never is found to be vexed. A student of price. And what’s more she’s so nice, “Do the best you know how” is her text. LEMUEL DARNER. Two Darners we have, this one’s Lem. He stars in that dread science Cliem. He’s slow but you may Relieve us when we say That at being on time lie’s a gem. ESTELLA GARLAND. This is the maid called Garland, She does not come from a far land; Hut how she does work, Nor she never does shirk. For she’s one of the first in our baud. CLASS OF 1906, O. H. S. FLORENCE GRUBE. This girl is called Florence Louise, She’s one that’s always at ease; She’s been a leader in club And works with a will and a rub, And is always willing to please. WALLACE GRAHAM Here's Beau Hrummel dr., our Wal- lace, In up t« date cioihes he finds solace; Don’t think him a prude Or an addle brained dude, Tho his neckties do sometimes ap- pal us. STELLA HUFFMAN. Jolly Stella comes next with a smile, A wit of the best kind of style. She is prime for a lark. Hut this must be kept dark, For—a teacher, she, after a while. CHARLES HUNT. There's a chauffeur with surname of Hunt. His speech is straightforward and , blunt. In mechanics he’s great. And we’re glad here to state That we’re certain he’ll come to the front. PAULINE HUGHES. Pauline is a quiet one, too, She’ll jump if you only say boo!” She loves science sincerely, Tho that look so queerly, Our verdict, I think is “She’ll do.” CLASS OF 1006, O. H. S. MARGARET HUTCHISON. This pretty maiden is Peg, out co- quette, She’s one or the most charming girls we have met. ’00 boys she can win, And we think it is a sin. When she tells us that her heart is let. MARY ISHERWOOD. Next comes Mary, wise and demure, itA this one thing were quite sure, As long as the sun, In its course shad run, Her memory with us will endure. THEODORE LUNBLAD. Next, straight, solemn, thotful, is Ted Dark as blackest of crows is his head. He’s a star in his classes, A lion with lassies, A doctor he’ll be, it is said. ADA KENDALL. Here’s Ada, demure and sedate, You simply should hear her debate. Even tho she is small, She leads us one and all. And her heart is just simply great. ARTHUR LOWENBERG. Another good tellow here, Art, In the class play he shown in his part. He’s liked by the lads, (And they never like cads) And the lassies have found he’s a heart. CLASS OF 1806, O. H. S. HAROLD LYNCH. Harold Lynch—but lie’s mostly called Pete, In liis studies he’s awful to beat; He’s timid and shy, Hut perhaps, bye and bye, In a rectory he’ll find a seat. MYRTLE LEINHAUSER. This is Myrtle, so pretty and grave liy her looks you can tell she’s no knave; She's so very demure, That I am quite sure She could teach us all how to behave. EDNA LEINHAUSER. She’s timid and quiet and sweet, ller appearance is always most neat ; A musician is she, As expert as can be, You’ll find that she’s quite hard to beat. WINIFRED KEYHOE. A learned maid is Winnifred. To the artist’s school she will be led. To paint her pictures tall, To hang in a famous hall, All in gold and white and red. JANET LINDSAY. danet, the good and the fair, Who is crowned by gleaming hair; Works with a will, Her noggin’ to fill. For she's a student rare. CLASS OF 1906, (). II. S. NELLIE MADDEN. Hair black as a raven lias Nell, What she's going to do next you can’t tell. A line housewife is she. And as neat as can be, In the O. II. S. she’s quite a belle. GREENLEAF MERRILL. This dark lad is nicknamed Green, In the tennis court he's often seen; Of athletics lie's fond He'd swim in a duck pond. In his make up there’s nothing that’s mean. RACHEL LUMSDON. Oh. Rachel is a willing lass. She’s a helper in every class; She has a smile for every one. She has her work as she has her fun, Weighed in the balance she’ll more than pass. EDWIN MATHER. 1'his is Edwin, our athletic lad, Of whom we must say, tho ’tis sad That the faces lie can make Certainly do take the cake. And when he isn't good—he's pretty bad. MARY McCUNE. This miss by her mates called Mary, Is neither cross grained nor contrary; She's quiet and prim, And she isn't too slim, Aftd her ways are subdued and not airy. CLASS OF 1906, (). H. S. PAULINE MESSENGER. Before you is mischievous Polly, She’s gay arid she‘s good and she’s jolly; She always is busy— ’Twould make one quite dizzy To follow her in search of folly. MARIE MULLER. This is our little German girl, Whose hair is wavy, though not in curl; She’s dainty and sweet, And also neat. And true banners she unfurls. HAROLD SPILMAN Reader, pause! Tis the venerable Doc! His lips lie’s unable to lock, His sayings are wise, But his hearers all rise, When of long words lie’s taken a stock. HELEN OSLER. Here is Helen, a studious lass, She has no trouble to pass; You’re astonished to know, That she likes Cicero, But she’s the brighest star of each class. ETHEL PALMER. Here’s Ethel, a student of repute, One really could not call her mute. She'll laugh and talk all day, But no matter what you may say Her giggle is certainly cute. CLASS OF 11)00, (). U. S. CLARA SAX. Here’s dear, dimpled happy-head Dan She offends neither fish, fowl nor man; She’s a tram, sure enough, And she’s made of the stuff, That suits everyone. Long live her clan! PAUL STOLTZ. Before you is our “Midget”—Paul In athletics he leads them all. He marshals the play, And is ‘‘right there” alwav. And you just ought to see him play ’ hall. GOLDEN STONE She’s not hard, tho her name is Stone; Her voice has an exquisite tone. She’s a singer of price, And won’t it be nice When she’s famous, “I knew her” own. FRED TROST Next is Frederick, otherwise “Dutch.” He talks little, but he says much. With his confident air. He is always right there When you need him. For help there's none such. FLORENCE WALKER Our (littlest (smallest) Florence, you see, Whose as pretty and sweet as she can be; What if she’s rather shy? Just wait ’till bye and bye, For her heart some day you’ll find the key. ETHEL WATSON. This is Ethel, our first honor maid. Of hard work she is not afraid; She works with a vim And goes in to win. We hope she’ll ne’er be dismayed. CLASS HISTORY HERE BEGINNETH THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1906, OTTUM- WA HIGH SCHOOL PREP CLASS When that September with its leaves browne, Engaged in a dance o’er all the towne, And for the summer and the greenness gone, We hear the birds their farewells chirp at dawne, Twas their on one delightful autumn daye That lads an’ lassies fair did wend their waye To that Ottumwa High School large an' greate, Where all did try into their stupid pete, A bit of goode learning there to place, To make them strong and nice for the race Of life and destiny and fame to winne, And not to yield to teni| er and to sinne; With even large and rowide did they gaze I’pon the strong sounds and sights an’ place. Each Prepy small did feel within his breaste That he did longen much to join the reste, And be a reg’lar member of the schoole, And not to make himself a reg’lar foole; Because he was so ignorant and greene, And not to stumble and to make a scene. Beside the scholars many, there were teachers, Some large, some small and others plain of features. The principal was then a Mr. Peirce, Who was, the scholars thought, cpiite strict and fierce. There was a Mr. Wetzil then I troue, And many funny stories did he knowe. Then Miss Nye there was so tall and fine and stately, Who did the scholars, English teach sedately. Miss llinsey, now a wife, then did teaclie The little '00’s then so very meeke, The different rules and Latin conjugations, Which caused the smalle preps much consternation. CLASS HISTORY Miss Bardwell was the mother of the schoole, For she with gentle hand and smiles did rule. Miss Matson fair did by her fertile braine, The Middlers’ stupid minds in German trnine. But now of our class doings will 1 telle, Which we all did carry off both wise an well. For one fair day a class meet did we holde, And chose for President young Lathrop holde— Miss Foster was the next one on the role. Who was on kindness bent and breadth of soule. Miss Messenger our chronicles did holde, And of our many thoughts and doings tolde. Paul Stolz our money and our bank note held. Which all our longings for enjoyment quelled. For on the twenty-fourth of that Aprille We all did wend our way straight up the liille, Where we did find a 1906 class party, And all in joyful spirits well and hearty, Here did we find the house all nice an cleane, Dressed in our fresh class colors white an greene. We all did spend an evening full of funne. An then at twelve we all did homeward roame, When each an all had said a merry toaste 'l'o Mr. Merrill, our most genial hoste; And so in peace and quiet passed the year, An for another one, will 1 stop here. —Mary Sila Colt, ’06. MIDDLE YEAR On a pleasant day in early falle, Vc Middlers marched into the learning ha lie Of studie took we most care and most heede. t We spak not oo word more than was neede. We chose wise Margaret leader of us alle, And a verry good tyme we always lmdde. One stormy night in late December, A night fill wel we all remember 'l'o Pauline’s lious our merry wey we wende, At last arrived at our journey's ende, We spent a jolly evening with good cheere; Our merry laugh resounded fro’ far and neare. At a. late hour the happy crowd departe, And thanked their hostess with all their harte. , Next about a lawn party wol I telle. CLASS HISTORY When we bade farewell to the ’05 classe. Forsooth it was a glorious somer night. The yard was decked with lanterns bright, But notheless whiles I have time and space, Me thinketh it accordount to resoun. To tell you all the condicioun How Professor Roberts in the singing lede. “ O On the occasioun so wel he warbled, That he wonne the prize which was righte. All rejoiced because it gave him such deliglite, Thus with amusements fill pleasaunt and ful gay, All too soon the tyme had quickly passed away; So endeth the worthy Middlers grand career. Now wol you hear about our Senior year. —Grace Coughlin. JUNIOR YEAR When nineteen-three its course hadde runne, I nto September with its liote sonne, Our scole vere once now began, And to High Scole many scolers ran. The classe nineteen six were preps no mor, Now Juniors were they to the very core; Eck, many teachers, nigh one-half a scor, Had lefte even us the year before, But then Professor Roberts did we see Come principal of High Scole to be. And these were present from some part the land. Miss Chamberlin, Miss Smith and Miss Belland; Came Mister Emery, sciences to teach. And Mistress Harrison gave songs to each. Soon at a meeting of the class did we Choose Greenleaf Merrill, president 10 be, And Arthur Lowenberg, vice president; For secretary was Miss Bohe sent, And Katie McAloon our cash did keepe. Then on a night, with plesure deepe, It was October twentie-two, we went Our way to Foster’s mansion and there sent Our every care away. Another night Beheld at Leinliauser’s every manner wight. Our joy was tempered by one sad ray, Miss Nye had left us (Oh, sad to say); CLASS HISTORY Instead of her we had Miss Bryden kind, And for Miss Mills, Miss Phelps did teach the mind. And now T troue that my poor work is done, I leave the rest for a much better one. —Harold A. Lynch. SENIOR YEAR As passed veer by yeer, and daye by daye, We ’gan to realize how shorte our stave, How soone we’d our four years course yronno, Tho’ when in 1904 we firste begonne, Our schole life seemed longe to wende; O nevere coude we abyde the ende! Put pricketh us teachers in our corages Then longened we to goon our pilgrimages, In felowshipe, to reache the '06 goale, (Everichon hadde to worke with herte and soule). Certain tyme does goon and chaunges make; The Senior month? made each Prep? quake. Lowninge in his sentence was his speeche, Of studie and mannere he much coude teclie, By oon assent, for ruler over alle, Was chose Will Cushing, who, tho' he were smalle, Hem wolde he snibben, if they make noise, And brate upon the deske for the boys, Ye may well understone the desire, For jollitee, as muche did they tire Of hokes and of dignity so greete. Lo at the home of Spilman’s dide they meete, In compaigne. Greet chere our hoste gave, And everichon a so vernier to save. Lamente was greete when one was assiste, And trewly the mirthe ever was of beste. After sondrv sesons, it was sevde, “At Doctor leaker’s wille we have a spreade.” It snewed in his hous of mete and drinke, Of alle deyntees that one coude thinke. Many a speehe more parfit ne’ coude be, Especiale seyde by the facul tee. One daye a whispered rumor goon aboute “Class priviledges were ours withoute a doubte.” One’s eyen twinkled in his head aright, Each visiage beemed withe greet delyte, CLASS SONG We hadde notte long to waite, untille, Mr. Roberts seyd, “I wol thy hist fulfille.” The grete effect! Swich joy and happiness! I can not plevnly tell, 1 muste confesse Now right anon we inette for a laste, Asseniblee. So on the water’s vaste (?) Kverichon deepe on plesaunce bente, Lingered till the nighte far was spente, And eek the Middlers served us atte beste; Right well I woote there was much mirth and geste, n ■ Muche sorwe there does lurk in eache herte, From friends and teachers kind, we must departe; We yiehle oure place, but memories deare, Well ofte recall within the future veere. —Mary K. (hirner. Class Song In the glow, the glow of an Autumn, Whose memory lingers still. Our high school’s happy career In these halls had its birth. And the events of these years We will never, never forget: “ 7 Friendship, Kindness, Knowledge, All its joys and all its worth. Chorus:—All hail to each, each comrade true, W hose smiles have cheered, have cheered us onward, Ken while the goal was but a dream Success has been our watch ward. Hail! O. H. S. Jn the love, the love of our comrades Sturdily we onward go— Tho our hearts be heavy at parting, Joy will be in the years, we know. , True we’ll stand to our motto, forever Always lie—not seem to Ik� To the green and white of the clover Our symbol—swear loyalty. (Last Stanza)—“Hail 1906.” CLASS PROPHECY June 20, 11)15. Dear Clara: I was so disappointed that you could not come to the reunion of the class. Almost everyone was there and those who could not come wrote to us as you did. 1 was not surprised to hear that you had become matron of the Deaf and Dumb Institute in Oklahoma. I suppose you are glad to he able to gratify your desire for silence and quiet and to avoid talking as you were always wont to do. I’m intending to try to tell you about all the members of the class, where they are and what they are doing. Mabel Anderson is nursing here in Ottumwa. Her gentle soothing manner and pleasant smile will probably win the same fate for her as that of every pretty nurse. Mary Colt wrote a very dear note, sending regrets from herself and Lois Baker, saying that they would be unable to attend as they had an important engagement to till in Chicago. They are specialty dancers in vaudeville, and have plenty of opportunity to continue their life of frivolty and gavetv which they started while still in High School. Cecile Bonham is at home. She has become very subdued and quiet since she was expelled from Wellesley in her Senior year for some breach of discipline. Henry Cook is just enjoying himself. He doesn't have to work. He's the principal of the O. H. S. Last week Florence Louise Coolidge sailed for Europe with the Misses Smith and Bryden who are going over to study rocks and author’s homes, respectively; and who do you think has taken Miss Bryden’s place? Pauline Messenger! She mothers the Preps and advises the Senior to her heart’s content, and has almost succeeded in filling Miss Brvden's place. Pauline Hughes and Grace Kitto are teaching Algebra in the High School. Because of their love for that interesting subject their classes are the most attentive and interested in the school. Jessie Graham illustrates the comic section in the Ottumwa Record- Herald, of which Hoy Ballard is the editor. We hear rumors of a romance concerning these two. Stella Huffman and Mrs. Harrison are making a concert tour in Europe. Miss Huffman besides being an excellent accom- panist, has scored a great hit in her laughing song composed by herself. Mary Isherwood is physical instructor in the V. W. C. A. in Eddy ville, and Fora Galey is the instructor in German in Iowa City. Florence Grube is the president of the Iowa Federation of Woman's clubs. With her club work she hasn't time for much else. Theodosia Harrison is going to Salt o o CLASS PROPHECY Lake City. She just hates men, she says. Incidentally I heard that Ethelbert Coffin has been in that city for several years. Joe Darner is the proprietor of a shooting gallery down near the opera house. He doesn’t have much to do with (Connell since the latter became a frenzied financier. Grace Coughlin was present at the reunion and favored us with a few extracts from her treatise on “How to Cure Lisping.” She has been working on it for several years and she is not yet entirely satisfied with it. Will Cushing is captain of the league base ball team and he exercises his executive ability even upon the diamond. Howard Davis is acting the juvenile parts in several comedies written expressly for him bv the successful playright, Edwin Mather, who in his spare time does athletic stunts at county fairs. Wallace Graham has followed his natural bent and is proud of his reputation as the Beau Brum me 1 of New York. His clothes furnish the model for the men of the Smart Set in that city. Ethel Watson is teaching a country school in Rutledge. After a long hard struggle she succeeded in passing the teach- ers examinations and expects next fall to get an assistant position in town. Harold Lynch was unable to come as he was at the time held in custody back west, for taking part in a shooting fray. Elizabeth Haven with a beaming smile appeared at the reunion and informed us that sh? had the dearest husband in the world, and that she had won the prize for the best home-made bread in Wapello county. Ada Kendall, after an eventful life as an elocutionist, has gone into comic opera. Irl Baker is professor of the Science of Flirting in Bryn Mar. He was unable to come home but wrote us all about his work and his fair pupils. Nell Madden was also unable to be present as she is traveling in Ireland on the proceeds of the Madden-Baker breach of promise case which was so ably carried on by the famous lawyer Theodore Lundblad. The latter came clear from Philadelphia to honor us with his presence. Etliyle Palmer has eloped with her father’s chaffeur so we didn't have the pleasure of seeing either of them. Winifred Kevhoe has published a re vised edition of Fanny Y. Cory’s “Memoirs of a Baby.” It far surpasses the original. Stella Garland is a fashionable dressmaker in Kansas City. Donald Fallen is the truant officer here. He knows by intuition or i may be, experience, just where to look for truants and he has proved the most efficient official the city has yet employed. Three of our girls have sought recognition in the public eye. Marie Muller ana Helen Osier are performing remarkable equestrian feats in Ringling’s circus, and Florence Walker has succeeded to the fame of the renowned Annie Oakley in Buffalo Bill. Mary McCune with Janet Lindsey as her collaborator has publishei a literal translation of the Jungfrau. They are taking life easy on the proceeds of their work. Paul Stoltz was present, but this advertisement tells his story better than I can: “How to increase the height from two to five inches ?n a month. Send CLASS PROPHECY a stamped self-addressed envelope, and receive instructions free of charge.” Paul R. Stoltz, Mutual Life Building, New York City. Woman’s Rights having been granted thro’ her efforts several years a o, Rachel Lumsdon has succeeded “Uncle Joe” as speaker of the House. Greenleaf Merrill is the willing martyr to the new breakfast food Wheat- grass, which is demonstrated by Miss Mary Garner, who with her charm- ing smile and hair attracts many customers. Dr. Harold Augustus Spil- man has made his fortune by the sale of his wonderfully efficient Kquiknogen Bitters composed principally of H-2-0. The Leinhauser girls have become spiritualists. Their meetings are really quite interesting, but they can’t convince me that what they say is true. It’s a great money-making scheme, however. Annie O’Malley sings Irish folk songs in private musicales. She is quite the rage here in Ot- tumwa. Golden Pearl Stone, the gem of the class has edited a new German grammar. Wanda tho’t enough of her class to come up here clear from Mexico City, Mexico, where she is proprietress of the Hotel de Yrigoven. Last but far from least we have the two unseparables, Arthur Lowenberg and Fritz Trost, still admiring lovers at a respectful distance Mr. Lowenberg is known in all the studios in Paris, for his manly beauty. 1 have done my best to make up for your necessary absence and have told you briefly of all your old schoolmates except myself, about whom there is no need to say anything. You know where I am and what I am doing, and so enough. As ever Your Old Friend and Classmate, Margaret E. Hutchison. CLASS WILL WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1906. £NOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS. That we, the class of 11)0(5, of the High School of the city of Ot- tumwa, the county of Wapello and State of Iowa, I'nited States of America, knowing the uncertainty of life and feeling the unmistakable evi- dences of approaching old age and being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this our last will and testa- ment in manner following that is to say:— I. It is our will that the expenses of our demise, as well as all our other just debts Ik� fully paid. II. Custom has decreed that the subjoined list of our possessions should descend to our Moved sister 11)07. as our right and lawful suc- cessor to the throne of the High School world.: 1. Our superfluous Senior dignity to be distributed in small pack- ages as occasion demands. -• Our exceptionally wonderful and highly developed decorative talent, along with our best wishes for its due appreciation from the Senior Guardian Angel. 3. And last, but not least. Our Abundance of Class Spirit, suggest- ing that it be taken in reasonable doses as an incentive to scholarship and live (?) athletics. III. We give and bequeath to the faculty, the Prep class to provide entertainment in |� eriods of monotony. I . We give Kd Mather’s gridiron accomplishments to Hen Hur Wilson. V. We leave Etliyle Palmer’s rapidity of speech to Harry Anderson. VI. We bequeath Florence Coolidge’s knowledge of English literature to Alice Spry. VII. We bequeath the 11)0(5 girls’ ability in basket ball to the ’07 girls, hoping they will improve by the wonderful example set before them. III. We leave the boys of 11)07 to Aletha Norfolk and Xannette Curry, hoping they will progress in their undertakings concerning them as suc- cessfully as thev have with the 1900 young men. IX. We give the mirror in the Senior girls cloak room to Beulah Gilt- ner, Vera Shadford and Hazel Gephart. CLASS WILL X. Wv bequeath Pauline Messenger’s excellent deportment to Cathar- ine Dungan. XI. We transfer the admirable executive ability of Dandelion Sax to the 11107 basket ball manager. XII. We can and do literally pour a perfect avalanche of Art Lowen- berg's self satisfaction upon the head of Butch Ostdiek. XIII. We bequeath Mary darner's meek modes of manners in class as a beneficiary benediction to Ruth Hull’s random racy reconstruction of Roman redundants. XIV. We leave the frivolous nature of Pete Lvnch and Teddy Lund v v blad to Fern Young. XV. We leave the quiet dignity of Nell Madden to Olive llormel. XVI. We wish to transmit to the Preps of 1910 the excellent Parlia- mentary knowledge we have derived from our tranquil orderly class meet- ings, when our august meditative body met in council and tabled matters of supreme significance to ourselves and to our posterity.

CLASS PLAY CHRISTCPFER JR. 'I lit class play which is in many respects the event of greatest inter- est to the Senior class, was presented in the Grand Opera Mouse Friday evening, June 1st. In the selection of a play for such an occasion, there is always a question as to whether the classic or the modern play should receive the preference. 'Phis year the choice of the committee, appointed for the purpose, fell to the modern play, and Christopher Jr., was selected. At the opening of the second semester, parts were assigned and the work which culminated in the performance of last Friday evening, was begun under the able instruction of Mr. Albert Humphrey, of Knox college, Galesburg, Illinois. The play hinges around the financial and marital difficulties of the hero. Christopher Jr., the son of a wealthy East India merchant, Chris- topher Colt, finds himself in some financial straits and wishes his father’s assistance. Determining to touch the old man’s heart by an appearance of poverty, he moves into a garrett preparatory to a visit from his father. I he old man arrives and gives his son the alternative of marrving the niece of his new business partner, Major Medway, a retired army officer, or being cast out upon the world penniless. Christopher Jr. now finds himself in difficulty for on a trip to Trinidad, through an unfortunate accident on ship board in which he entered a lady’s state-room instead of his own, he has been forced to marry by contract a young lady whom he has never seen. Me asks bis father for time to consider his proposition and then consults his friend Bert Bellabv as to how he may extricate• himself from the embarrasing situation. At Devonshire he meets his sister’s friend, Dora Medway, and falls desperately in love with her and is now more anxious than ever to be freed from his former marriage. A letter from Bcllaby falls into the father's hands and the son is disinherited and sent off to India, crossing with Major Medway and his niece. In India he discovers the misman- agement of the fir in’s business by their agent, Mr. Simpson, and dis- charges him. Mis work for the firm is reported to Mr. Colt, by Dora; Mi. Colt comes to India, and reconciliation between father and son is effected while Dora Medway and Christopher’s wife are discovered to be one and the same person, and all ends happily. Amusing scenes take place between Mr. and Mrs. Colt, who are not on speaking terms but hold all intercourse through their servam. Whim CAST OF CLASS PLAY CLASS PLAY per. The voluble Mrs. Glib and her taciturn husband, George, also add to the interest and amusement of the play. The east of characters is as follows: Christopher Jr. Mr. Colt ..... Major Hedwav Bert Bellabv Mr. Glib . ... Mr. Simpson . Whimper ....... Job ........... Mrs. Colt Nellie Colt . . . Mrs. Glib .... Dora Hedwav Wallace Graham Arthur Jxnvenberg ... Howard Davis .Greenleaf Merrill .. Joseph Darner . . . Donald Fullen ..... Fred Trost . Harold Spilman ..... Clara Sax Pauline Messenger . . Grace Coughlin Florence Coolidge n The success of the performance beseaks the earnest, faithful work of the cast during the past four months and reflects a great deal of credit upon the trainer, Mr. Humphrey. Much credit is also due to the untiring efforts of Miss Perkins as director of the play, and to Paul Stoltz who has so ably taken charge of the business management. The Class of 1000 is certainly to be congratulated upon the successful performance of Christopher Jr. Entered at the Post Office at Ottumwa, Iowa, as Second-class Matter, Nov. 15, 1901.

We wish to extend our hearty good will to our succes- sors. May they enjoy the work as we have; may they make next year’s edition better than ever before and may each succeeding issue improve upon its predecessors. .(). II. S. is already known favorably throughout the state in athletics; let us establish a school paper that will win recognition for us from other schools. The student body should be brought to feel that it is their paper, and the letter they make it by their contributions, the worthier their representation. Xo one has a right to criticize until he himself has offered some of the copy for publication. Fault finders should remember that. The Presbyterian church was beautifully decorated for the Baccalaur- eate services on June 3. Dr. Frank Stoltz delivered the sermon to the out-going class. The class of 190t made no mistake in selecting Dr. Stoltz for this work. His sermon was strong and helpful and full of good thoughts. Things were said that can not be eraced from our memory. “Christopher Jr.” is now but a thing of the past, but he has left us with a pleasant memory.. Every class play has been successful, and that presented by the Seniors the night of June 1 was no exception. The book is well written. There are plenty of amusing episodes with enough of pathos to balance the comedy nicely. The cast has been conscientiously rehearsing for the past two months under the supervision of Miss Per- Editorial Staff of The cylrgus EDITORS Editor -in-Chief: F'lorence Coolidge, ’c6.

Mr. Humphrey has taken such an enthusiastic interest in the staging of this play that he has acted as an inspiration. W c regret to announce to the public the resignation of Mr. Emery, teacher of Physics in our High School. He has been with us for three years, and during that time has made many friends among the faculty and students. Our best wishes go with Mr. Emery for his success and happiness in the future. Friday evening, May 25, the Middlers received the Senior class at the home of Mr. Johnson on Court street. This reception is the culmination of Senior festivities and this year's entertainment surpassed all preceding ones. A prophecy in the form of a newspaper, fortelling the fate of every member of the 1906 class, a minstrel tramp which sang original songs about the class, and a musical contest were the chief features of amusements. The Seniors wish to tender their sincere thanks for a very enjoyable evening. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM ’07. 1-eta Sutton, Captain. Emma Lewis, Forward. Grace Evans, Forward.

With the assistance of Prof. .1. 10. Roberts, he arranged for us one of the strongest schedules we have ever had. After an inspection of the schedule and a comparison of scores, we are sure all will admit the justice of saying we have one of the best teams in the state. In giving credit for this enviable record, we must not forget Coach J. W. Templeton, who did much in giving strength to the team and furnishing new plays. Captain Mather deserves special mention for his persistency in keeping the men in training as well as for his clever plays on the field. Another very important element, conducing to our success was the excellent generalship of “Midget” Stoltz.
