Being an unusually brilliant class, we feel that we can afford to devote more time to the pursuits of pleasure than other classes would dare to do. As we are very modest, the outside world may not have recognized our extraordinary ability, for our greatness has been revealed only in our private class meetings. We do not ex- pect this annual, therefore, to compete through the ages with the fame of Shakespeare or Milton, but we do expect it to rank favorably with the earlier volumes of the Par- sonian. VVe want this little book to keep fresh for us the joyful associations of the past four years, to remind us in years to come of the long corridors with their twilight gloom, of crowded cloakrooms with their hurried interviews, of the pleasant, quiet library where we have gained some of our most valuable inspirations, and of the class rooms which we are now regretfully leaving. lf it does this, and brings underclassmen an appreciation of their school days, gives outsiders an insight into our school life, and perhaps recalls to them their own school days, we shall feel that our Parsonian Has Succeeded.

She corresponds secretly with him. All goes well until the aunt, Mrs. Malaprop, intercepts a letter. Perhaps it would be wise to say that Mrs. Malaprop, a lady whose words are ingen- iously misapplied with out being mispronounced, is in love with Sir Lucius O'Trigger, an Irish baronet. Letters are carried back and forth by Lucy, the maid, who leads Sir Lucius to believe that he is corresponding not with the aunt, but with the niece. Sir Anthony Absolute, the father of Captain Absolute, with his ward, julia, comes to Bath shortly after Lydia and Mrs. Malaprop have arrived. Sir Anthony calls on the aunt and proposes his son as a suitor for Lydia's hand. Later in the day, Sir Anthony brings his son'to see the girl. Lydia, at first, declares she sees none but her loved Beverly. The two young people are left alone. Lydia throws the Captain's pictures on the floor, and says she can cast the original from her heart as easily, for she discovers that Ensign Beverly and Captain Absolute are the same person, and her romance is spoiled. A Another suitor for Lydia's hand is Bob Acres, a country squire. Sir Lucius, Bob's friend, urges him to challenge this unknown Beverly to a duel. Bob does so, and sends for the Captain to carry the challenge. Sir Lucuis, in the meantime,challenges the Cap- tain. The duels are placed on King's Meadford. fB0b's courage slowly oozes away but the valor of Sir Lucius asserts itself. When Bob discovers that Beverly is none other than his friend, he refuses to fight, but Sir Lucius holds his grievance, and the duel begins. Nothing serious results, however, because David warns Sir Anthony and the ladies, who come in time to stop the iight. In the end all are happy, Lydia united to the Captain, and Julia to her beloved Faulkland. ' A Bessie Harvey, '15, 33 X V3 - A , N W I 'min 0 4 ff J IIVEI I was in the dingy reporters' room of the STAR, a metropolitan daily. It was a hot, sultry, uncomfortable morning in August. The screech of the traffic policeman's whistle, the clanging of the L and surface cars, the sirens of the motor- cars, and the monotonous tat-tat-tat of the pneumatic riveter on the new sky-scraper under construction, all blended together to form that incessant roar that is known as the noises of a big city. The open windows brought no invigorating sea breezes, but only the stale stench of the hot asphalt from the streets below. I was not alone in the room. Several reporters were busily pounding out Hcopy for the pressmen. The rattle of the typewriters, the tick-tock of the big clock, and the slamming of doors all grated on my none-too-patient nerves. All in all, it was not an ideal place to think. And I had to think. It was only last night that I had attended a society wedding onFifth Avenue. The affair was of international importance. Miss Madeline Bailey, the prominent poetess, was married to Senor Jose Mariay' Pense de Alzanivasque, the financier from Spain. The Rev. James Hopkins, the prominent evangelist, ofliciated at the ceremony. I had just finished my report of the wedding when Miss Beatrice Creighton, the stenographer that Horace McDonald, the city editor, had engaged Cor was engaged toj, motioned for me to enter the office. Mr. McDonald, how are you? I asked politely. Perfectly satisfied, sir. Please cover the races this morning, Mac replied, briskly. I climbed aboard a jitney 'bus bound for the races. I was no sooner seated than a commotion began in the other end of the car. Alert for news, I hurried to that end of the car. A young society settlement worker, a Miss Corinne Bender, had been robbed by a clever thief. Miss Bender was accompanied by Mr. Glen Ross, M. A., P. D. Q., and author of The Slums of Schnectadyf' The theft, however, was detected by Miss Aritha Dorsey, a secret service agent. Upon resuming my place, I found seated near me, a tall fine-looking young officer, whom I recognized as Clarence Sutton, a former classmate of mine. The sight of Cap- tain Sutton brought back memories of the joys and sorrows of our school days. While - 34 discussing these interesting topics, we were joined by Leon Tustison, the leading dress- maker in New York. Leon, as ever, was full of information. He told us that our own Frank Swisher was superintendent of schools at Osqueeheegeen. This country has been recently settled by Americans under the leadership of the great explorer, Mr. Clarence Wilkerson. It is situated in the vicinity of the North Pole. To Mr. Wil- kerson belongs the credit of having annexed the North Pole to the United States. We also learned that Miss Ruth Burton is the head instructor in the Correspondence School of Dancing. Miss Burton, having a lively imagination, is accomplished in the art of inventing many new dances. Leon agreed to accompany me to the races, and, leaving Sutton, we made our way to the track. Upon our arrival, we met Miss Essie Ward, a prominent society leader, who is to be married to the Count Lleonardo de Duphunny. While we were talking to Miss Ward, several of the prominent New York society members, among them Miss Irene Corlett and Miss Hazel Cowan, joined her and deprived us of Miss Ward's company. At that moment there was loud applause in the grandstand. The applause was in appreciation of the spectacular finish of an exciting race. Edwin Mc- Donald, the millionaire jockey. had the misfortune to have his horse fall when nearing the post. Nothing daunted, the resourceful Mickie lifted the horse up on his Her- culean shoulders and ran to the goal and victory. There was some dispute among the judges in awarding the prize, but Mickie exclaimed, Me an' my hoss aire here, and that's all we's s'possed to do. In order to obtain an interview with Mickie , I invited him to luncheon. We hurried to the Astorbilt, which, under the management of Miss Opaline Bradley, rivals even the gay Paris hotels in its magnificence. As we were entering the hotel, we met Mrs. Helen Van Gregg, formerly Miss Helen Allison. She had just returned from Europe, where she had obtained the famous Cocoa- Coladiamonds, a family heirloom. With her was Mrs. Ada Austin-Butter, wife of the celebrated painter. There is a report that Mr.Butter owes all of his fame to his wife. He had just painted a panoramic view of a scrambled egg when Mrs. Butter accidentally spilled a pan of turpentine on it, causing the colors to run. The result was a Futurist picture of Sunset of the Saskatuearezf' This picture recently sold for one hundred thousand dollars and nine cents. In a cozy annex to the dining room, I noticed Miss Hazel Williamson and Mr. Lewis Henderson, co-stars in the Knowgood Opera Company. They were so interes- ted in each other that they did not observe me. As we were finishing our repast, the sweet tones of the violin reached our earsg and then a voice, heavenly in its sweetness, rose and fell in rapturous melody. It was Miss Eva Smith, the leading vocalist of the century, who had, for a fabulous price, con- sented to sing for the entertainment of the hotel guests. I bade adieu to Mickie and walked down Broadway. This seemed a day of adventure for me, for immediately I was accosted by Miss Helen Clark, who is a can- didate for Congress on the Super-civilized ticket. The principal plank in this party is, RIGHTS FOR WOMEN. Miss Clark was accompained by Miss Loretta Good- hue, her campaign manager and a prominent politican, and Miss Mary Hedman, a prominent orator who is supporting Miss Clark. Finding that I had some time to waste before going to the office, I stopped before a moving-picture show. I noticed that Miss D'Lela Watson was starring in a feature film. I paid my admission to Miss Mable Pefley whom I found to be the proprietor of a syndicate of motion-picture shows which extended over the country. One of the reels interested me very much. It was a Mutual Weekly. It showed Mr. Howard Scott, who is heacl coach of Yale, It also showed the finish of the Vanderveer Race, 35 Mr. Paul Workman, a celebrated auto-driver, won the race in his Grant. Veva Gray, the prominent sportswoman, was second in her Ford. The next reel showed Miss Faye House, formerly the leading comedienne in New York, who had become a movie star. After leaving the show, I was attracted by a sign that read, Miss 'May Magner, Beauty Specialist. Being in need of her help, I decided to enter. The room was crowd- ed with ladies and I hid in an obscure corner, awaiting my turn. I noticed that Miss Glen Franklin was the manicurist. Finally, my courage failed me and I beat a hasty retreat. Arriving at the Star, I wearily threw myself into my chair, expecting a little rest. The fates were against me, however, for as soon as I had seated myself, a young lady entered the room and asked to apeak to me. As I always avail myself of an opportunity of this kind, I readily consented. It was Miss Martha Martin. From some hidden recess, she drew a book, and launched forth on the merits of the work. The book was called The World'sA Greatest War. On glancing through this work of art, which was written by Miss Bessie Harvey, Ph. D., I.. I.. D., M. P. Q., I noticed the picture of Miss Maureen'Murphy, a Red-Cross nurse, who had gained fame through her heroism in this war. For various and financial reasons, I did not buy the book. My associate reporter, Miss Maude Watson, then entered the room, saying that Miss Jean Kennedy, the aviatorix, had just completed a flight across the Atlantic Ocean. While we were exulting over Miss Kennedy's wonderful feat, we were approached by Miss Alberta Cherry, advance agent for the Philharmonic Concert Co., in which Miss Thelma Wharton, the eminent pianist, is the leading attraction. No sooner had Miss Cherry taken her departure than an attractive young woman entered the office. Miss Almeda Jacobs, after arranging for a full page AD for her millinery shop, told us that a friend of hers, Miss Agnes Pratt, had just returned from Africa, where she had been a missionary. Miss Pratt will lecture on her life and work in Africa. I arrived home at six. Through the open window I heard a sweet voice singing A Perfect Day. The flat opposite my apartments was occupied by a young lawyer and his wife, both graduates of P. H. S. Her name at school was Marie McAleer. .As the last notes of the song drifted away, my fancy pictured the joy of wedded bliss. What a fool I was. If I had only married Miss Dauererer, I'd have been better off now. just then I heard voices through the open window. . Noi Walter!! You shall not leave this house. f'But, Honey-bunch, I'll be home early, protested a determined masculine voice. I gazed around my bachelor apartment at the litter of cigar stubs and newspapers. Noticing, and not without.a feeling of pleasure, that the room was in disorder,I man- fully resigned myself to my fate, cordially thanking the coachman,who had, indirectly, done me a favor by eloping with fair Eilleighn Dauererer. i . , john Tierney, '15. 36 Gbrunicles uf the urple ants white Freshman. Once into a quiet school house, Without thought of care or strife, In the golden prime of morning, Strayed some students full of life. 1 It was Autumn, school had opened Class rooms showed a motley crowd: But the teachers said quite boldly, Some of these will make us proud. Faithfully we students struggled, A Doing each day's work with zeal, Till at length the year was ended, Victors, we, through woe or weal. Sophomores. Now when the second year had just begun, We Sophomores thought we would all have som Teasing the Freshmen was part of the game, For vexing the teachers we soon won some fame Yet we were studious, willing to work, Lessons and studies we never did shirk, Well had we learned the ,old adage was true, All work and no play, applied to us too. 'Twas Sophomore year, that we chose Rawley Dent, Who served for a time as our first president, Helen Young, also, assistant was slated, ' Ruth Burton as treasurer thus-'tis related. Our social life, too, received its just due, A party was held in gymnasium new, Next, juniors made merry with Sophomores gay, With games and a lunch, sped the evening away. Helen Allison once had a tacky affair, All of the Sophs. bent on fun were found there. At close of the year for a last happy lark, On hay racks we rode to B1-igg's cabin, at dark. r 37 e fun Juniors. Time once again doth its changes fulfill, As Juniors enrolled, we will grind through the mill.' Bessie Harvey was voted vice-president new, , Clarence Sutton elected as treasurer, too.' Class emblems we 'chose with a thoughtful delight, Our colors are purple combined with pure white, For flower, the white rose, of all flowers the queen, And a pin of pure gold, chased with 1915. Many a meeting' was held to review Methods and means our low funds to renew. 'Twas always the cry, juniors, please don't refuse, We're needing the coin. Pay your dues, pay your duesl' On Hallowe'en night, when the ghosts were abroad, Ruth Burton invited the whole merry crowd. With tales of our fortunes, and games, and some eats, The evening passed quickly, 'twas filled with rare treats The closing event long planned, came at length, For which, through the year all our forces we'd spent To banquet the Seniors, the custom sustained. CMirabile dictu! It rained, how it rainedlj The hall was adorned with white roses so fair, And sweet, modest daisies were placed every where. A play was enacted, our schoolmates to please, And viands and drinks did their hunger appease. Seniors. And now when September once more rolled around, We students as Seniors were all to be found, Still mingling our pleasures with hard work as well, We planned for a weinie roast, none did we tell. And now for a frolic, and now for some fun, We're off for a hike, ere the night has begun. Away to the woods, to the rocks, and the hills, Taking weiners, and rolls, marsh-mallows, and dills. The harvest moon's bright, .not a cloud is in sight, No lessons to learn for a day and a night, Then ihurrah and hurray, we're off for the fray, With roasting and toasting, we'll dance and be gay. 38 Such fun did we have, that e're long, it is told, Another roast took us to Circle Park old. And when all the games of foot- ball had been played, A feast for the squad by the Seniors was made. But changes have come, Rawley Dent left the school, And Horace McDonald in his place doth rule. As president, Horace did all his work well, And led us through conflicts, or what e'er befell. The Play Caste was chosen, they worked with a will, Miss Fergusson, then, all the parts well did drill. The Rivals was given, and people declare, That no other play with this can compare. . The Annual Staff for its talent is noted, And now to this book all spare time is devoted, A souvenir telling our deeds, and our fame, Recounting our fun, and extolling our name. You recall, of these Freshmen, they made a forecast, That prophecy old has come true at the last. Our teachers are proud of our genius displayed, Our zeal in our school, and the grades we have made But all of our hist'ry not yet is complete, Oh, teachers and students look forth to a treat, Some day in the chapel a program we'll give. The fame of our deeds! Oh, long may it live! To social events soon our time will be turned, Which, after hard work, is pleasure well earned. Commencement will come, and before we're aware, We'll be out in the world all our knowledge to share. Farewell, faithful teachers. You've worried us thin, But now that we've leaving, we'l1 forgive what has been And Juniors, we leave you our places to fill, Remember our motto while climbing the hill. 'Through trials to triumph , we worked through four years Oh, Freshmen and Sophomores, calm now your fears, And take for example our noble career, The world, if you do, will your name much revere.

Affairs in and around P. H. S. have undergone little or no change during the past year. Troops continue to reach the Freshman encampment and the work of drill and organization is prosecuted with ceaseless energy. Although Commander-in-Chief Fariss continues to keep a watchful eye upon the upper classes, it is fearetl hostilities will soon break out. Rumor has it that the Sophomore Brigade is planning a flank attack upon the Freshmen. Meanwhile, if concurrent reports are to be credited, sickness, destitution, the approaching vacation, and growing apprehension of powerful social demonstrations during the last days of enlistment, are rapidly demoralizing the forces under the Generals of the Upper Classes. Open discontent prevails everywhere in their ranks. Similar dissention exists in the government of the Freshman Division. ' Bday 1914. In' the election held the first part of the year, the Sophomores proved themselves true to their colors. David Rowland, the Sophomore candidate for General, was elec- ted by three hundred plurality. Neal Greening was elected Lieut. General, and Thelma Walls, Secretary of the Treasury. Soon after his election, General Rowland made the following speech to the Sopho- more Army: Soldiers, we have made ourlast retreat. We have seen our last defeat. Stand by me and I'll stand by you, and henceforth the victories will be ours. Although they bring no new matter to light, the official reports from the command- ing General, and his subordinates at the battle of Rowland's Fort in last December, are highly satisfactory evidence of the behavior of our men on the social Held. The victory was only wrested from us by the pouring in of a large reenforcement from the ranks of the Juniors. So far as we canjudge, General Rowland's plan was well conceiv- ed,.and would have been carried out successfully, had it not been for a critical delay. Secretary Walls waged war on the soldiers who failed to pay their dues. Some booty was obtained, but the victory is not worthy of much mention. A treaty of peace was signed on May 10. The two armies joined forces for one day at the river, and a terrible battle was raged on General f'Picnic and his men Eats May 1915. In the early part of the year, Colonel Rowland deserted the Junior Army and was later court-martialed and sent to Annapolis. The class legislature called for a new election, and General Fixley was unanimously chosen. The regiment has cheerfully taken up the class loan of one hundred dollars, authorized by Congress for the efficient prosecution of the Junior-Senior Banquet. After the battle last autumn in the Gym, with General Party , the Secretary of the Treasury immediately issued bills for the payment of same. But there is another financial movement on foot which has perhaps a greater popu- lar interest, and cannot fail to make possible another campaign. The outcome of this movement is as yet unknown, , Phoebe Randle, '16. 45 Zin jllilemuriam Elulia jllileimernp 'Whey who gn jfeel nut the pain uf partingg it is they who stay hebinh that suffer.

There were one hundred and thirty-three members enrolled in the class at the be- ginning of the second semester. These members constituted the largest Freshman class that has ever entered High School. Especially noted was the work done by the members who took part in basket ball. On the girls' team, Cleo Shreck, Army Stevens, Nola Craw, Marie Ketchem, and Grace Mortimer took active parts. On the boys' team, Charles Britton, Carl Harshfield, and Elmer Henry won renown. Eddie and Ray lVloore, Schubert Henry, Clyde Wag- goner, Harry Kane, Marion Burton, and Keith Simons were prominent members of the foot-ball team. Much good work has been done in the three literary societies. In the cantata entitled A Garden of Singing Flowers, parts were taken by Thelma Dearth and Mild- red Tillman. The class was represented by Berniece Smith and Nellie Leitzke in the Girls' Glee Club. joe Sullivan's splendid vocal Work in chapel has been much admired, The Freshman Societies combined and had an outing at Adams' Bluff. A perfect evening was spent, showing that social as well as mental standards are of the highest. With forward-looking hopes and sad good-byes, we say farewell to the beginning of our High School career and toil onward. Madge Baldwin, 'l8. Photo by Peterson 53 Photo by Peterson Photo by Peterson The Quhflfresijmen Last fall it was announced that our High School had increased from a four-year school, to one of five years. We Seniors were especially grateful for the addition, for every little bit helps to take the childish simplicity from the oncoming Freshmen: That was not our only reason for rejoicing, for the Subs have participated in every en- terprise. This class has contributed to the school athletic teams one of the star basket- ball players and one of the foot-ball squad. Athletics is not the only work in which these aspiring children excel. Musicis their main forte. At the Musicale this winter they gave a cantata,'AThe Garden of Singing Flowers. I-t proved to be such a success that they repeated the performance in cha- pel for the benefit of the student body. Q. S H Under the supervision of Miss Smith, Miss-Wolcott, Miss Fergusson, and Miss Wampler, they have been doing especially good regular work. We, the Seniors of '15, feel well assured that the class of 1919 will be arcredit to Parsons High.

As each school year passes by and a new one begins, every department should take a step up the ladder of advancement. Organizations are a valuable addition, and this year the high school has been more active in the formation of study clubs than ever before. The Freshman class has been divided into three clubs: the Optimistic Circle, Boos- ter Society, and Swastika Club. The work of these organizations is general. The upper classes have been organized into hve societies: Music, History, English, Science, and German. Each society adopted a special outline of work which it has carried out during the year.

H azel Williamson One of the most interesting of the literary societies that has been organized this term is the History Cilub. At present there are forty active and enthusiastic members. lt is composed of students of the three upper classes. The sponsors of the club are Miss Freark and Mr. Steeper. Miss Freark promotes an interest among the students by giving delightful talks on current events. She also aids the committee in preparing the programs, and oversees rehearsals. Mr. Steeper's work consists chiefly in giving suggestion and general help. The programs are very interesting and instructive. Historic, civic, and economic questions based upon live issues are the usual features of the meetings. Among some of the most interesting papers given during the year were The'Extension of Woman's Suffrage, by Mary McCarthyg South American Trade, by Marguerite Neelyg The Use of Motor Cars in the War, by Joe Flynn, and Belgium and Her Part in the War by Faye House. Some of the subjects the club expects to take up are the monetary system, railroads, taxes, and the growth of America's commercial standing.

Accordingly, the English Society was organized. At the beginning there were about sixty members, eager and willing to help build a reputation for the club. During the first semester many interesting things were given. There were short stories from HO. Henry and Van Dyke, original stories, reviews of operas with illustrative selections on the victrola, essays, and dramatizations. For the reason that there was no inter-school contest this year, our mem- bers have given their attention entirely to the work of the club, and by earnest effort have made the year a very enjoyable one. After the midwinter examinations, our membership was so increased that it was thought best to divide the club. Division A met in Miss Wol- gamuth's room. Some of the good things we enjoyed were selections from Mark Twain, a debate, and a number of short sketches, essays, and stories. On the whole, we have had a very successful year, thanks to the earnest co-operation of our teacher, Miss Wolgamuth, and the students who compose the society. Frances Reynolds, '16. Division B met in Miss Watson's room. We have had good readings, short stories, and poems. One meet- ing was devoted to a Magazine program. On this occasion roll call was answered by giving clippings from magazines. For the earnest help and advice of Miss Watson, we ex- press our gratitude.

Thus far it has proved a decided success, and a more brilliant future is inevitable. This club was not formed as an excuse to break the unvarying monotony of the various so- cieties heretofore, but with the definite purposes of creating interest in science, and demonstrating the practical aspects of the seemingly theoretical sciences taught in our H. S. The person who imagines a meeting of the Science Club to be a meaningless jumble of Latin or Greek classifications, a flood of technicalities, and tiresome explanations of intricate laws and theories, is indeed surprised, on visiting our Club, to find a fascinat- ing unravelling of the seemingly impenetrable discoveries of our modern scientists, not only by comprehensive talks and papers but by interesting experiments. The Club is composed of the two sciences, the biological and the physical. These are divided into Zoology, botany, agriculture, physics, and chemistry. The flrst meeting was devoted to the explanation of the scope of these different divisions. The remain- ing meetings treated each subject separately. Although it would be useless to name the papers, talks, and experiments which the members of the club contributed, we must not pass over the illustrated lecture given at our program on Zoology by Mr. Morrison, on the malarial mosquito and our common domestic enemy, the house fly. Although the Science Club does not expect to turn out a world of long-faced scien- tists, yet it does not doubt that a few of its members will some day mount pedestals in the Hall of Fame among the world's great men. The immediate success of the club is due to the interest and attention of our faithful friend, Mr. Morrison. Arla Dorman, '17 E. Floyd Kennedy, '16 QEutzrpean Smitty The Euterpean Society of the Parsons High School has an enrollment of about twenty-five students. Only those who were especially interested in music joined the society, and they have maintained a high standing in the work. We have studied, during the year, the lives of Wagner, Gounod, and Verdi, in connection with Grand Opera. Instrumental, vocal, and Victrola selections were given from their operas. We have also presented programs on 'fSong Composers, Light Opera, and The American School of Music. The papers on our own com- posers have been especially interesting, for we believe that America has a great musi- cal future. The Society wishes to thank Miss Minter and Miss Morris for their hearty coope- ration and unfiagging interest in our work. We also extend to the next year's society, the hope that they will have as enjoyable and profitable a year as we have had. Alberta Cherry, 115 60 Ear Beutsrbe 'Wzrein Der Deutsche Verein has held meetings regularly since the beginning of the fall term of school. During the first term we were fortunate in having as president, Miss Ethel Haubold. She also played the leading part in the German play.

At the beginning of the second term, james Dye was chosen president, and has served very creditably since. The aim of the club is to familiarize students with the language and customs of the Germans. In our meetings, German Folk Songs, and patriotic airs are sung. Usually one English report is made, giving the biography of a noted German writer with short se- lections from his works. We have had declamations from Goethe's and Heine's poems. Different members have read anecdotes, fairy tales, and short stories in German. Several original papers have been given on Rhine journeys, trips to Berlin, and the German school system. In every meeting we have characteristic German games in which all take part. ' The club is ably assisted by Miss Locke who oversees the preparation of all the work, and is sponsor in every meeting. Grace Lietzke, '17, 1115132 Ennster Society The Booster Society is one of the three literary organizations of the Freshman Class. It meets once every six weeks, each of its forty-nine members appearing on the pro- gram at least once during the term. A preliminary meeting was held in the auditorium September the twenty-ninth for the purpose of electing officers and appointing a committee to prepare the programs for the regular meetings. Paul Hammack was chosen president, Merle Kitterman, vice-presidentg and Auby I-Ieinbaugh, secretary. After this, the meetings were held at regular intervals. The programs consisted of orations, debates, essays, original stories, and musical selections. They were very successful and much enthusiasm and interest was man- ifested on the part of the students.- Much of the success of the society was due to the careful and conscientious direc- tion of our sponsors, Miss Coxedge and Mr. Swisher.

The present war in Europe has furnished a great many topics for discussion. The papers on current events have been especially inter- esting and instructive. Several of our members have taken part in activities outside of this society. Among them are W'ill Manry, who was in the Christmas playg andAmy Stevens, who has done noteworthy work in basket-ball. The aim of the society is to teach its members how to speak before an audience, to aid them in acquiring some knowledge of parliamentary procedure, and to encourage them in literary work.

' One thing we did which is rarely done by a school society was to have a Weenie roast. The three Freshman societies combined and went out to Adams' Bluffs on a beautiful dark night. The Optimistic Circle may well be proud of its members, for among them are those who have won distinction in the school for their talents. One has only to hear the praises given to joseph Sullivan, Claude Kinzie for their musical ability: to Elsie Workman and VVilda Arnett for their splendid work in reading, and to Cleo Shreck, Schubert Henry, and Charles Britton for their prowess on the athletic iield, to realize this statement. Each one has helped to make the society better. When we reorganized during the second semester, we regretfully saw some of the old members enter the advanced societies, and jioyfully welcomed the new. And the tale of the new generation is much the same as the old. Helen Hayes, '18, ' 62 ' F C P. ,Q - f . ' XJ! n N? ' MMS LC. 4- fl x 1 A si? -.J 1 v 5. QE.

The Music Contest was held in the Orpheum Theatre on the afternoon of February 3. The entries were Mixed Chorus, Mixed Glee Club, Girls' Glee Club, Boys' Glee Club, Girls' Quartet, Girls' Double Quartet, and Orchestra. The proud winners in this contest were given silver loving cups. A The P. H. S. entered with great hopes of victory. We were represented by the Girls' Glee Club and Mixed Quartet. Our Glee Club was composed of fourteen girls: Marguerite Neely, Beatrice Creighton, Opal Clark, Thelma VValls, Hazel Stites, May Magner, Nellie Leitzke, Lillian Dakan, Bernice Smith, Ethel Haubold,Lillian Russell, and Ada Austin. In the Mixed Quartet were Opal Clark, Eva Smith, Manford Newton, and Reven Dejarnette. The Glee Club sang Waltz, from Faust, by Gounod. They ably represented us, but lost the decision. The Mixed Quartet sang The Miller's Wooing, ' by Fanning, and here again the jfudges favored another school, giving the cup to our old opponent, Chanute. I This was the 28th Annual Contest of the S.

ITE :ww literary QEhitnriaI The first requisite of literature is that it has some vital interest. If we can feel that an essay or a story has been produced by some energetic individual, interested vi- tally in what he is doing, we can hardly affirm that we have not been reading literature. In these pages we have endeavored, not only to show our vital interests in our high- school career, but also to express our appreciation of the unusual advantages which we have enjoyed. Literature must also be so distinctive in its character that we could not conceive of its having been produced in any other country than that in which it was given birth. We truly hope that this collection of stories and poetry cannot be conceived of as hav- ing been produced in any other school than P. H. S. It is intended that it establish its claim to P. H. S. by portraying the jolly life about which it is written. While these few specimens of our ability are not of great literary value, we hope that they may help in the future, to recall visions of our happy experiences in P. H. S.

Van Quxitus, a renowned scientist and professor of Physics at Harvard College, was hard at work in his laboratory. He was experimenting on the great Piait's theory of sound waves. The idea had been scorned by many of the prominent scien- tists of the age, but J. Quxitus was a firm believer in it. Alonzo Piait declared that if a certain high note on the violin be struck, the body could be rendered invisible, due to the action of the sound waves upon the retina of the eye. Mr. J. Quxitus had performed several experiments which had, in a lesser degree, proved the theory. He had built a house of cards, and striking a certain high note on a violin, the cards had crumbled, and in one case, had actually disappeared. He had compared the density, atomic weight, molecular constitution, specific gravity, and comparative dimensions of the house of cards and the human body. In this way he had learned the number of vibrations necessary to make the human body invisible. Find- ing that vibrations could not be produced on the violin alone, he tried the violin and the Hute, the violin and the cornet, and the violin and the human voice. HE DISCOV- ERED that the required combination was the violin and the voice. He filled a glass full of water, and striking a certain note on the violin, while singing, caused the water to disappear. He then struck another note, higher than the hrst, and to his surprise the water became visible again. This unexpected result caused J. Quxitus to waltz around the room, with his violin as a partner. At that moment the telephone rang. Yes, it is I. I'll be right over. Thank you, was the part of the conver- sation that we were privileged to overhear. It was Louise Kannt who had called. Louise was the beautiful daughter of the president of Harvard College, and the afhanced wife of J. Quxitus. It was to her alone that he had confided the great secret of the discoveries which he had made. J. Quxitus, with his violin under his arm, hurried out of the laboratory, left the college campus, and made his way toward the residence district of the town. My dear, this is delightful! How kind of you to take compassion upon a lonely bachelor. Never before was I so in the need of your inspiring presence. Indeed, exclaimed Louise, I assure you the pleasure is mutual. I have been lonely myself, and have had a weary day. The happy thought came to me to call you up. Tell me of the progress you have made in your experiments. He related his latest discovery, and the efiect it had upon Piait's theory. I shall know what to do if you ever disappear, remarked Louise. I shall just sing a high note and you will come back to me, according to your theory. 'lYou willinot have to do even that, in my case, replied J. Quxitus. You need only call, and I'll come through a stone wall to you. But come, let us sing! As the sweet tones of the violin rose and fell in melodious cadences, Louise's voice vibrated with heavenly tones. She possessed a high, soprano voice of wonderful sweet- ness. Suddenly the song was interrupted. J. Quxitus lay unconscious. When he recovered, Louise had disappeared, and the room was filled with smoke. He rushed to the hall only to find that the stairway had fallen. His only hope for escape was the roof. He hurried to the housetop. Arriving there, he shouted to the crowd gathered about the house. A number of people looked up to the roof but paid no atten- tion to him. The Hames were gaining headway. He could now see them shooting out of the windows of the story below him. The shingles near him burst into flames. The roof covering one wing of the house fell. All passages of escape were closed. J. Quxitus crept to the lowest cornice of the roof, and yelled frantically for assistance. 68 Help! Help! CThis is also the author's cry for help, he, too, is wondering how his hero will get off the roofl. At this critical moment, his glance fell upon a water spout. Quickly swinging over the eaves of the roof, he grasped the water-spout in his hands. To his dismay, he found that -it extended only a short distance. He hung there: all hope had vanished! Slowly his fingers relaxed their hold. He was falling, falling, falling! Ima- gine his surprise,ewhen, alighting upon the sidewalk, he experienced no sense of injury. He gazed about him, wonderingly. Here and there firemen were rushing about, giving curt orders. J. Quxitus rubbed his eyes. Here he was, in the midst of a crowd, after having a miraculous escape, and no one paid the slightest attention to him. His next thought was of Louise. He approached a fireman and asked if Louise had been res- cued. The fireman looked quickly around him, then, without answering, walked hur- riedly away, grumbling. J. Quxitus then asked the same question of several other persons standing near. They, in like manner, ignored him. He was extremely mor- tified by the strange conduct of these people, and decided to return to his laboratory. He hurried down the street, dodging here and there to avoid colliding with other ped- estrians. p HThey seem to be trying to run over me, J. Quxitus muttered. Several people, hearing the remark, stopped, looked around, and then hurried on, abashed. J. Quxi- tus decided that he would let the next person bump into him. Imagine his surprise when a young fellow walked directly toward him, and, without hesitation, passed through him. I must be dreaming, or insane, said J. Quxitus to himself. He noticed that the newsboy was doing a rushing business, selling extras. Decid- ing to buy a paper, he shouted to the boy, who stopped, and looked in vain for the voice that addressed him. ' In the gutter of the street there was a newspaper. J. Quxitus, besides being learn- ed, was thrifty. He stooped and picked it up. Glancing over it, he noticed an art- icle which surprised him greatly. It read: H---butithe body of Mr. J. Quxitus has not yet been discovered in the ruins. Further on he read another item: -The young lady, Miss Louise Kannt, who was rescued from the ruins in a critical condition, is slightly hysterical. She is now at the hospital. She declares that Mr. J. Quxitus is not dead but has just disappeared. She will be examined by Dr. Fogelman, the noted alienist. At once a great light dawned upon J. Quxitus. He was invisible! No wonder that he was ignored, that he had escaped, unhurt, from the building, and that the people looked apprehensive when he spoke! , Filled with anxiety for Louise, he hastened to the hospital. He frantically de- manded admission. The porter fied in terror, slamming the door in his invisible face. Without hesitation, he walked through the heavy, iron door. The instinct of love guided him to the ward where his Louise lay sobbing and grieving for her lover. Louise, called J. Quxitus. She seemed not to hear his voice. Knowing that only she could bring him back to his normal state, he gave another despairing cry. Recognizing the voice of her lover she gave one shrill shriek of joy, and Mr. J. Quxi- tus stood before her, restored and happy. John Tierney, '15. 69 Qu Zllumni Babel. The twilight was rising upward from the large windows, and the shadows of the furniture grew darker-gradually so dark that they finally lost their distinctness of outline in the almost faded light which crept slowly over everything. The windows ceased to pour forth the light which a few hours ago seemed to be in their very possession. The darkness appeared two fold thicker than usual in this small room in the north wing of the building. A pale ray of light penetrated the gloom and brightened the scene. First it fell upon the uppermost portion of the wall, and as fair Luna arose higher in her course, her silvery beams creptdown thewall until-ah,is that a picture which they fall upon? Such a white picture! 'Tis that of a graduation class. The eyes of one pretty maiden fairly sparkled. Is she moving? See, she raises her hands. She is smiling! Ah, she steps down from the picture. Come, my class-mates. 'Tis too trying to sit in that crowded picture. It's been a long time since we roamed about this buildingg so let us renew our acquaintance with it. The rest of the occupants stepped down. Such a jolly crowd! Yes, it is very tiresome and also a waste of time, Helen, to sit in that picture for years and watch the different principals give the students in the later classes admit slips. But come , said Ned, let's explore this old place. The members of this class in their school career had been inseparable in their fro- licsg in fact they gloried in the unenviable reputation of planning and causing to be executed, without detection of their complicity, the mischievous pranks at school which caused their teachers, in some instances, the greatest trouble that one could imagine. The laughter from this joyful crowd echoed through the halls. A bright light flooded the whole building with a strange radiance. Come, cried jack, a tall, handsome fellow, let's go to the study hall since it is nearest, I believe I left some books there in my haste to leave the building after taking my last examination. Most likely they are gone, jack, replied a pretty blond, stepping up beside him. 'fWhy Wave, how surprised I am to see you, how long it has been since we met. You are jiust as young and pretty as you were when I used to court you. Oh, thank you, jack. You, too, are just the same. The crowd moved on, some going down stairs while others visited the different rooms on the second floor. Jack and Wave, and a few others went to the study hall. I dare say, this room has changed but little, said jack. Oh yes, see, they have moved the book cases out, and there is a door in the south wall. I wonder where it leads. Let's find out, proposed Wave. An auditorium,-isn't it beautiful? exclaimed Louise, an intimate friend of Wave's. See, it has a balcony, too. Some one is raising thfe stage curtain. How badly we needed an auditorium when we attended high school, . said Jack. What crowd is that upon the stage? It isn't our class-why I don't recognize any of them, remarked Ned, a fourth member of the party. ' I wonder if,- Why there is Mary Virginia! Evidently other classes are tak- ing advantage of the opportunity to revist this delightful place, exclaimed Wave. Who is Mary Virginia? I don't remember a person by that name, asked Jack. What a beautiful girl she is! 70 W.. 253 g ,n .. 1 She is my daughter, answered Wave, she graduated two years ago. You are jioking with me, said Jack. , Oh, mother, cried Mary Virginia from the stage, Come here. We are having a glorious time. Some of the girls are down in the domestic science department pre- paring a lunch for the crowd. Come join us! How wonderful, Wave, that you have a grown daughter, said Jack in surprise. I will introduce you to her, volunteered Wave, proudly. They ran down the aisle, as youthful and gay as Mary Virginia herself. H After the introduction, the jolly crowd hastened to the domestic science room. Smell the coffee, cried Wave. Hurry, Mary Virginia. Why, I'm swifter than you! Turning around she found that her daughter had dropped back and was walking with Jack. What a fine couple they make, thought Wave. Stepping back she walk- ed with Louise and allowed Jack and Mary Virginia to lead the way. UI have read much about you in the newspapers, and about your great success as a surgeon. How grand it must be to be great, said Mary Virginia. Hlt takes time and labor to reach the goal' though, and often sacrifices. But come, let's hurry. I hear some one calling for us from below, replied jack. They all hastened down stairs, and to their delight found a delicious lunch await- ing. It was spread in the sewing room, where all the tables were placed in three long rows. The room rang with the laughter of the jovial crowd. HCome, Mary Virginia, coaxed Jack after they finished the lunch, let's finish our promenade over the building. I haven't seen half of the new part yet. Certainly, I'll go with you. It isn't new to me. In the meantime Wave, deserted by her daughter and former lover,remained with the other mirthful members of the two classes. They had gone to the chapel to sing their class songs after their lunch. 'fLet's sing our class song, and Wave begin to play the music, Sweet Belle Marie. Oh we don't know that. Let's sing ours. The words are written for 'Tonight Will Never Come Again', begged Ruth, a little black eyed maiden of a later class. HBut we don't know that either, replied Grace, of a still later class. It seems that we can't sing together. Let's take turns in singing, you and the members of your class sing one of your songs and then our class will sing one of ours, suggested Ruth. HAH right. Which song shall we sing first? asked Wave. Let's sing the one to the tune of 'Doris, Doris, Oh How I Love Thee', insisted the member of another class. Oh, mother, may I speak to you for a few minutes? called Mary Virginia from the rear door of the chapel. Let some one else take my place, and Wave arose from the piano stool and join- ed Mary Virginia. Mother, I have something simply wonderful to tell you, exclaimed Mary Vir- ginia, throwing her arms around her mother. What is it child? Tell me. cried Wave much excited. But,mother,you must promise to answer me in the affirmative because I couldn't have you say no! begged Mary Virginia. . Do tell me what you are talking about, insisted Wave. Oh, Jack has-has-askedfoh, mother, he's asked me to marry him! ll If Mary Virginia, dear daughter. May the happiness you give him more than make up for the years of loneliness he has suffered because of my selfishness. I foolishly 71 .4 . 'G refused him, thinking that his life would be a failure. But you know I have paid the penalty, said Wave sadly. , And you once loved jack? How strange! And here I am to marry him, murmured Mary Virginia. Yes dear, and now I am happy! Still young and handsome, he has made his mark in life, answered Wave. - Come with me. I am to meet him in the lower hall. I just had to ask you by myself, declared Mary Virginia as she and her mother descended the steps. There he is, standing by the fountain, said Mary Virginia. For one moment Wave and jack clasped hands and remained in silence. Then, My life has not been what it might have been had I not been of such a fickle nature, sighed Wave, somewhat sadly. Nothing could please me more than to give you my daughter. Now I have you both, cried the happy lover, drawing the daughter and mother close to him and kissing Mary Virginia. But the wedding can't be soon. You know it takes time to prepare a trousseau, laughed Wave. We thought some of having it the twenty-fourth of June but Jack said 'twas too far away, replied Mary Virginia. 'tSay-an inspiration, said jack, 'tthere is a minister in the building this very minute,-Ted Simpsong you remember him, Wave. Let's have the ceremony per- formed now and 'cut out' this trousseau business. Mary Virginia, you look as pretty now as any bride. A perfectly wonderful idea. Our graduation classes shall be our wedding guests, agreed Mary Virginia. What do you think about it, mother? ' I-I-don't know, responded the bewildered Wave. ' Come, let's find Ted and get the classes together, said jack, as the three hastened up stairs. A Here is Ted,-in the auditorium, shouted Jack as they stepped into the room. The news spread quickly and soon Mary Virginia and Jack found themsleves stand- ing on the stage with the minister. . The ceremony was just begun-but ah,-what is that noise which disturbs the profound silence?-'Tis the janitor unlocking the south door. The bright light which flooded the building faded and the light of early morning gleamed through the sky light. The janitor's slow steady footsteps were heard as he climbed the stairs. Hurry, hurry, Tom,-get out of my way, you sit back of me-let me get back into the frame, whispered Louise. Good-bye, Mary Virginia, said Jack, grasping her hand. Ted always was slowg but I'll see you again soon. ' jack turned and helped Wave to her place in the picture and immediately took his own place in the same frame. Opposite hung the one in which Mary Virginia sat. The principal asked me to take these old pictures down yesterday and I forgot, muttered the janitor. I guess I'd better take them down now, before he comes. The attic already has about twenty-five such pictures in its possession. Strange to tell, but true, the society column of the Parsons Tribune, June 24, announced the marriage ofj the beautiful young Mary Virginia Barlow, daughter of Mrs. Wave Barlow, to Dr. J. W. Pardington, eminent surgeon of Kansas City. An added item of interest stated that in his youth Dr. Pardington had been an unsuccess- ful suitor for the hand of Mrs. Barlow. A p May Magner, '15. 72 Q bcrap uf aper It was a few minutes before four o'clock. Stillness reigned supreme over the gaudi- my painted study hall. The front door banged as a belated student hurried from the building. Presently a tall, dark-haired, learned-looking individual entered the room through one of the large swinging doors. In his hand he carried a bunch of papers,---test papers no doubt. He rang the bell and sat down at the desk. He seemed preoccupied and irritated. The monotonous ticking of the clock, the moaning of the wind through the poplar outside, and the buzz of the Ventilating apparatus, all seemed to increase the tension of his nerves. As he laid the papers on the desk, one slipped impishly to the Hoor. Impatiently stooping to recapture the truant, he espied a scrap of paper lying near the waste basket. He picked it up, intending to drop it into the receptacle, when his attention was drawn by two words which caused a dark flush of anger to overspread his face. He hastily scanned the note. Then Mr. Chesterfield Frevely, professor of mathematics, lost the dignity of bearing that had been his main support in upholding the honor of his posi- tion, and hurried from the room. He rushed down the stairs, through the long hall and into room VIII. The little Latin teacher sat grading compositions. Seeing immediately that something was amiss, she inquired jokingly, Whatl an Algebra problem that you can't solve? A problem, but not an Algebra problem, and you must help in the solution. Read this! Miss Marl took the paper and read it. I don't know, Mr. Frevely, puzzled Miss Marl, Hwho it could be. There are only two boys who are getting the grades that would lead one to suspect their methods, and one of them has been out of school for a week. 1 What is the name of the other? impatiently asked the principal. This affair must be thoroughly investigated. It's Max Merriwell, hesitatingly replied Miss Marl, -but I can't believe that he would do such a thing. e I shall expect you to interview him tomorrow, and inform me. The next afternoon at the close of the seventh hour, a tall dark-eyed boy came smiling to see Miss Marl, in response to the summons she had sent him that morning, There was silence for just a minute, then Miss Marl asked, How do you prepare your Latin lesson, Max? I look up all the unfamiliar words, and then attempt the translation. Usually I go over the lesson again the period before class, answered Max looking surprised. The boy searched her face inquiringly. Miss Marl lingered nervously with the papers on her desk. At lengthfrising from her chair, she came over to the boy. Do you always get it without any assistance? she persisted. ' Why, yes! What do you mean? Maybe this will explain, as she handed' him the note. The boy took the note and read, You may have my pony this evening if you will get my Algebra for me. i Max looked up in surprise, which soon gave place, to laughter. I I 73 Max, this is no laughing matter. If you have any explanation to offer, give it now! seriously. Then Max said, HI lent my pony to Bob, to go out in the country and see about a grove in which our class wanted to have a picnic. And as for getting my Algebra, I asked Bob to stop at the store to buy me one, for I had lost my old one. The Latin Teacher's face brightened. 'AI am heartily glad, Max, but am not sur- prised, she said dismissing the boy. On the west wall of the room hung the picture of Catiline in the Senate House. How different would have been the history of Rome had Catiline been able to vindicate himself as Max had done! Outside the great shadow of the building broadened eastward across the campus. Miss Marl gathered up her papers and left the room, humming a happy little tune. She no longer dreaded to give Mr. Frevely a report of her interview.

In the fall of 1914, athletics started with the fine spirit among the students that is always shown at P. H. S. The fact that the burden was to rest upon their shoulders caused the students to exert their best energies, and the push that they gave things will go down on record. The expense has been great, the troubles many, and the trials and problems have been frequent, but in every case the student body has downed the cause and come out triumphant. , Jfnut Ball. When the mercury registered way down, and the cold north wind clipped off about ninety per, when faithful Burton hesitated before he donned his togs, when the coach took a second look upon the out-of-doors, when all other students went home in a hurry, this was when the foot-ball boys went out to practice, showing here the school spirit that characterized their work throughout the year. Although the old time P. H. S. foot-ball spirit was at its height in '14, the team did not come up to the P. H. S. standard. The team 'spelled victory but once last season. but that did not make foot-ball a joke, as some people took it. The only thing lack- ing was weight. It had the speed, grit, and fighting spirit that we always find in our teamsg but as the opponents were especially strong and heavy, we lost against the heavy odds. The team was composed mostly of light material, young and inexper- ienced, but each member had in him the real stuff. He could stand a Fight to a finish any time. It is probably some satisfaction to the foot-ball players to know that they stand out prominently as idols in the minds of the High School Students. Harry Kane, center. Young for his age and large for his' size. He could be de- pended upon in any game. Even when a giant stood opposite, ready to seize him and toss him a dozen feet, he never failed to make a perfect pass. Keith Simon, guard. He dreaded the start, he dreaded the finish, but he cared not who fumed opposite. Oh! how gallantly he fought for old Parsons High. Edwin McDonald, tackle. Bloody Mick, Let me run with the ball, coach. The harder he hit the higher he bounced. Eddie Moore, end. Geel All them guys wear shoulderpadsf' He was always speedy. He lay awake all night because he missed a forward pass. Marion Burton, guard. He can pick his man out of the whole eleven without any help. It's that big husky guy with shoulder pads and head gear. Hugh Simmons, tackle. He took things as they cameg a quiet, unassuming, peace- ful lad. How he can run! Ray Moore, end. Oswego? Yes. Columbus? Well, no. But it takes a powerful imagination to see him missing a forward pass. Schubert Henry, half-back. Oh! is the game over? who won? Could he but get away with the ball: result, a touch-down. Emerson Chappelear, full-back. Always guarded against by opposing team but what was the use. He was apparently really serious but no one knew what lurked within. Charles Britton, half-back. An immovable object versus Bubb Britton? Some collision! Can he pass? Sure! Can he run? Sure! Can he plunge? Sure! Can he make a speech?- Those who also deserve mention are Horace McDonald, star tackleg Owen Scott, who gets 'em low usuallyg Henry Widmer, who wears a vol head-gearg Bob Minturn, frail appearing but good at bucking the line, and Edgar Godfrey, a man by all means. Howard Scott, '51. 79 oto bv Peterson Ph ls Basket Ball Team Gir Girls' Basket Ball. The usual High School spirit for athletics has been shown by the Girls' Basket Ball team this year. They put their greatest efforts into their practice work and each individual did her work exceedingly well. To Thelma Walls must be given much credit, as captain of the team. She proved herself to be always ready to do her part, encourag- ing the girls at all times. Fern Cloughley rarely failed in passing the ball into the basket, just at the right time. The other girls on the team did excellent work. Cleo Shreck, center, represented Parsons creditably, and her tip-offs were always sure of reaching the forwards through our second center, Fern Newton. The'two guards, Neva Rein- heart and Amy Stevens prevented many a score from being made by our opponents. Next year, with nearly the same team, and backed by the neverfailing support of our Coach, Mr. Herod, Parsons will be able to clear up all past records and establish a new standard. The following schedule' shows the work of the season: Parsons 30 Altamont 9 Parsons Dec. 18, 1914 25 Independence 18 Parsons Dec. 23, 1914 9 Chanute 29 Parsons jan. 15, 1915 16 Coffeyville 21 Parsons Jan. 22, 1915 10 Altamont 16 At Altamont jan. 29, 1915 18 Independence 15 At Independence Feb. 12, 1915 25 Alumnae 12 At Parsons Feb. 19, 1915 11 Chanute 56 At Chanute Feb. 26, 1915 10 Cotfeyville 12 At Coffeyville Mar. 5, 1915 19 Christian Church 9 At Parsons Mar 12 1915 173 Parsons 197 Opponents . Eva Smith, '15, 81 Photo bv Peterson Boys' Basket Ball Team ZBnps' Bashar 3135111 A more thrilling season in basket-ball than the one just past, rarely comes to a. high school. When the tive really began to play, they didn't stop until the last minute. Undoubtedly when the season ended, the team representing P. H.S.was the best and fastest machine in southeastern Kansas. Although the last game was registered as a defeat, the f'dope throughout the season gave us a shade the best of it. Parsons defeated every team in the league on its own court, and at times when the opponents were at their best. This is more than can be said of any other school in the league. When the other teams were at their best and Parsons was going at its slowest pace, it lost two games on the home court. This was not the same team, however, that fini- shed the season with six straight victories. The contest opened with a victory over Altamont in our gym. by a score of 58-19. Then Independence came over with a fast bunch, which defeated our boys 32-21. When the team came back from Fredonia it brought a score of 27-24 in our favor which brightened our prospect for the future. In the game here with Chanute, the outcome was uncertain until three minutes before the close. The visiting team carried off the victory with a score of 21-17. Coffeyville, at this time leading the league with a thousand percent, came to Parsons in great spirits. But when we put them on their car, they were feeling somewhat dizzy. This was the turning point for Parsons. We had beaten theleaders by a score of 43-22. The team went to Pittsburg to the S. E. K. tournament. When the players went on the floor just a few minutes before the game, they were cold and stiff. The Inde- pendence boys, who had played an easy game, were warm and used to the floor. Par- sons met them with little confidence, but the game did not go to Independence until the last minute, when they took the lead' from Parsons and won, 422-19. A week later the team slipped to Altamont, slipped while there, and slipped back- In other words, we went in cars through the rain, the Hoorwas well waxed, and we skidded home through the rain. The score was ours by 34-30. After killing Coffeyville's chance for the championship, the team had to follow suit at Independence. Parsons had just struck their stride, and both teams were in per- fect condition. This was probably the best played game of the season, and no one knew how it was going until the gong sounded. The score was 27-25 in favor of Parsons. Fredonia actually had hopes of defeating Parsons when they came down here, but the fast game ended in a victory for P. H. S., 28-13. N Then the team went to Chanute. The hall rang with mighty cheers for the home team until the last second of the play, but all in vain. Score: Parsons 18, Chanute 17. Coffeyville worked with might and main to muster a team to beat the leaders, but the game camelto Parsons, 24-19. Thus the season of ten scheduled games ended in triumph for Parsons. Then some evil genius seemed to seize upon the management of our athletics with a terrible grasp, and brought hungry Chanute down here to play a crippled team. The game that took place in the P. H. S. gymnasium, on the long-to-be-remembered night of March 12, 1915, was the most strenuous battle ever waged there, and ended with a blow to the students of the high school that has not for many years been equalled. The men who were in the line-up at the close of the season were Emerson Chap- pelear and Howard Scott, forwards, Elmer Henry, center: and Charles Britton and Lester Hodge, guards. Leon Tustison played forward during the former part of the season, and later substituted with Carl Harshfield. Howard Scott, '15, S3 JHUJK D' Q 55 E' n x 1,74 9 1 K :4?' fm? -U sf 2 -Hg if Q X I l.

Our Federal Fapitol is pictured, In colors of every hue, The colors not represented, I'm sure are very few. There's one thing I like about the curtain, Of colors so varied and bright, Except on days of great portent, It's always rolled up out of sight. VVhen the teachers are arrayed on the platform, This curtain a favor could do, If you'll hide from our sight, Our teachers so bright, VVe'll hide our contempt for you.

ER WINDOW SHADE Not an adjuster, but 1 a complete adjustable W shade. Made from COTTO N DUCK, has no filling, will not check or crack. This shade may be rolled up from the bottom at the same time that it lowers from the top. VVe have eliminated the slow and uncertain process of looping, folding or hooking. This shade will expose all the window without drop- , I ping below thewindow sill., Our rollers are unique, in that they will not run away, be cause they are provid- ed with a positive stop or locking device that automatically catches the roller by means of a GRAVITY hook the moment the operator re- leases his hold upon the bottom pull. The shade hangs from an automatic pulley that can be quickly attached to the windowcap by the in- sertion of two screws which complete its hanging. LUTHER 0. DRAPER SHADE CO., Spiceland, Ind. Dept.
