Eligibility to membership in The National Athletic Scholarship So- ciety is limited to those students earning an athletic letter whose average in their school work for three consecutive semesters is higher than the gen- eral average of the school. The Seniors so honored are: VVALDO CONNOR and HARLEY WILCOX. Iaunur Zllitnphp On February 19, 1926, at a special assembly an Honor Trophy was presented to the high school, the gift of our Principal, Miss Mabel McKee. Mr. Wallace McKee, of Chicago, brother of Miss McKee made the formal presentation using as the basis of his thought, four words which appear in the inscription on the loving cup, and are the qualities for which the trophy is to be awarded each yearg viz., Character, Scholarship, Leader- ship and Service. The trophy, which was added to the number which Perry High now proudly possesses, is really distinctive in the place which it is designed to Iill. This trophy is to remain the property of the school but is to be award- ed each year to that member of the high school who most nearly in his relationships with teachers and students and in all school activities main- tains the well balanced combination of a good character, is above the average in scholarship, has proved his ability as a leader among his fellow students, and has been helpful and generous in his service for the highest and best in the school. This honor is possible of attainment by any pupil in Perry High. lt will come only to those who are vitally interested in training and moulding their lives into the highest type of citizenship, both for school and for life. -v,l....1.fv- Hooks of our school days, agony untold Doom of a life time, I wonder why '?

You know I wouldn't be so foolish as to ask you to lend me your ears or anything like that. I think it was extremely impudent of Antony to suggest that, even in his favorite speech. Indeed, I had quite a notion to tell him so last night. Uh, yes, I saw him. You know one has to live hack into the past and search long and hard when one lmnts up histories even tho they be ol' prominent people. But as I was saying, I met Antony last evening, It was impossible to avoid him because he was sitting on top ot' a bundle of papers called Deeds of 27 , XVeIl, there he was, there I was and there was the packages I had come after. Ile looked at me and opened his lips, and I, fearing for my aforementioned ears, immediately clasped my hands over them. Ile begged for them so piteously that I was afraid to stay in his vicinity. That. perhaps will explain why I am now so breathless and confused. But wait here it is something I managed to snatch before my far- from-slow exit. You see hanging before you the remnants ot' our Fresh- man Spirit. tNo this is not a bargain sale.j It is of a truth a most beautiful color. The one all Irishmen adore fthis is not a Toast', eitherj and I believe one that everybody secretly admires. Then! I'll not name it. All of you know what I mean. In spite of its brilliant aspect there-'s a spice in it that ought to pep you up. This is the vain glorious dctermina- tion to show 'em.

Talking of the ladder of success twhich to tell the truth about I dou't believe we have ever seenj we, Juniors, climbed, climbed, climbed to the very top, the very edge, just ready to slide over the top into a space pigeon-holed Famous Men and VVomen of America when we happened to think ot' how lonesome it would be. You see few mortals ever reach that high altitude until they are dead. And so, consid- ering all this, we turned right-about-face and tulnbled back down to the very first round of' the ladder. Queer ? Maybe, but you see we had plenty of company there. XVhen we were going up the ladder we noticed that the first round was ma1'ked t'Sports. Ut' course we are all game and can take defeat with great fpretendedj pleasure and bwlllllllg faces. fIsn't that right?J But this is not that kind ot' sportsmanship. No. The people who are crowned with laurels and also eomplilnents are the ones who risk their necks and other valuables by playing, playing hard, in this case for Perry High. Among those same heroic people in our Freslnnan, Sophomore and Junior years were: Beulah Barton, Esther Darmer, Margaret Diesner, Harvey Montgomery, Truman Roberts, Edward Kanealy and Dale H:-inner. You will not be surprised to find that the next round was easily mount- ed. Just to keep you from dying fot' curiosityj I'll tell you that it was marked Declamatory and Music.

Let me introduce Catharine Denny, Kathryne Howe, Bernice Yarde, Mary VVagner, Robert Kirkwood, Dorothy Lutze, and Dale Hanner. - As for declamatory work, none could declam like ours. If lives dc- pended upon their actions they couldn't have done better. They laughed, cried, moaned, sneered, growled and giggled tnot all at oncej and they were so real that more than once I caught myself energetically punching the person in front or tramping on the toes of those across the aisles with the mistaken idea that I was helping in the cause of England or rescuing some fair dalnsel in distress. These salne changeable persons are: Hope Bast, Robert Collins, VVilliam Neil and Smith VValker.

The game began! lt was September 8, 15721 and a memorable day in Perry High, for on this day the Freshmen began their game. For a little while victory looked doubtful, since we Freshmen were so tilnid and unaceustomed to battles of this kind. Soon, however, desire ot' winning overtook us and with encouragement from the upper class- luates, the .luniors and Seniors, and with the kindly meant advice from the Sophomores we closely guarded our enemies and began to pile up scores. VVe called one time out during the tirst quarter in which we aban- doned all worries and enjoyed a llallowe'en partywour first class get together. This rested us and probably accounted for the increased pep and enthusiasm in the last of the quarter. Madge Stage in the Declamatory Finals, and Charles Crawley and Mona VVightman in the Music Contest, Mona winning second place in the District, were the high point makers of the tirst quarter. The whistle blew! lind of tirst quarter! Freshmen ahead! After a brief intermission, seemingly too brief for some of us, the whistle blew again on August 31, 1925. NVe took our places- wprepared to tight-fdetermined to win. The second quarter has been a fast game a there have been no dull moments. Again we called time out and again we resorted to the observance of Hallowe'en as a source of rest and aluusement. This atfair was held in the high school gym and proved to be a pronounced success.

To he sure we were much pleased to find a large number of the Freshmen on the llonor Roll. VVhen it eame time for the class tournament we fought hard to carry olt' the honor ot' defeating the Sophomores but although we were not vie- lorious we will try to do hetter next year. Two ot' the Freshman pupils entered the Deelamatory Contest and we were very pleased to find one of our girls carried away honors. Sinee we, the Freshmen, are now looked upon as a small part of the sehool we are striving to make a large part some day and though our his- tory is short, in the future we shall try lo add to it and our achievements.

Page Forty -one i926-THE ECLIPSE-I 926 TH E HAND OF BUSINESS 'thf '-fa X 4-0' ummerciat apartment The Senior Shorthand students have been doing some very comlnend- able work on the Gregg Transcription Tests the past year. These tests are mailed out from the Credential Department of the Utiregg XVriter in New York City. Each month the tests are published and sent out in sealed envelopes which are opened at the time of giving the test therefore it is a take on new matter. The takes are as fol- lows: Sixty words a minute for five minutes, eighty words a minute for five minutes, one-hundred words a minute for five minutes. The students transcripts with their shorthand notes are forwarded to New York City for checking and certificates are awarded to students submitting satisfac- tory papers. To date, three students have passed the one-hundred word test. eleven the eighty word test ami twenty-two the sixty word test. Tlfe certificates are awarded not only on the mechanical writing ami transcribing of shorthand, but on the spelling and arrangement of tran- script. All possible errors are counted on the transcript copy. ln fact, these tests are practical examinations of the student's ability to write shorthand and make a transcript which would be considered a practical document in a well-ordered business house. VVe submitted fifteen transcripts for March testfnfour for sixty-word certificates. eight for eightv-word certificates ami three for one-lmndred word certificates. All students qualified for their respective certificates. Fifteen qualifving papers entitled us to a club prize. Mildred McCrory received a gold pin for submitting the best paper from the standpoint of shorthand notes and transcript copy of same. Mildred submitted the one- hundred word take and after checking, her paper showed just five er- rors. This is a splendid record both from the standpoint of accuracy and speed. The following received one-hundred word certificates last month: Mildred McCrory, Mona Andrews and Kathryn Swallow. V870 expect sev- eral others to qualify for this final certificate before the end of the year. The beginning shorthand class did work during the first semester with Miss Ann Brewington, an instructor in Chicago t'niversity. Instructors of commercial subjects for the past year were as follows: Grace A. Barnard. Bookkeeping, Junior and Senior Shorthand. Gladys Price, Bookkeeping, Business English and Junior Shorthand. Marie Drew, Typewriting. Glenn A. Bailey, Business Law. Glenava Klopping. Commercial Arithmetic. Page Forty-two I926--Tl-IE.

There are three classes in high school, the be- ginning class in clothing and in cooking and an advanced class in each. In the beginning class in clothing the constructive side is emphasized in both hand and machine problems. Preceding each of these, training is given in the selection of suitable fabrics, becoming and appropriate, colors and designs. The relation of the garment to the wardrobe as a whole is included in the study of budget making. The best garments made during the year are put on exhibit in'the spring, and at this time the high school P. T. A. gives a prize for the best dress made in the high school classes. This xxork is continued in the advanced course with special emphasis on the study of textiles and the economics of clothing with some construc- tion problems such as the making of hats and wool or silk dresses. The work in the cooking courses gives the students a practical knowl- edge of the fundamental principles of the cooking of foods, planning, preparation and serving of meals, and also the planning of diets for chil- dren, adults and invalids. This work is supervised by Miss Keith, a graduate of the State Col- lege of Alnes, who has added much enthusiasm and inspiration to the work. She has been helpful as well as interesting to all the girls who took Do- mestic Art. ,.i.-ii.-l jtltlanuat Training The course offered in this high school is a fine start in learning the fundamentals of the course. The system is so arranged that the first semester is used entirely for detail-drawing. During this period the pll- pils are required to make their own drawings and from these, construct their particular projects. The equipment is excellent, including band saw, two wood laths, elec- tric glue pot, electric plane, and an increase in the number of benches has been made. More room has been added this year to accommodate the large classes. Each bench is equipped with chisels, vice, jack plane, back saw, mallet, tri-square and gauge all to go with the splendid equipment mentioned above. The equipment value is estimated at 353500, which in- cludes materials furnished the student. Some very attractive pieces of work have been made during the year. Deserving of especial lnention are: A beautiful walnut library table by lilmer Connorg a bridge lamp and cedar chest, Dale Hannerg sewing cabi- net by Virgil Olsong a radio table and cabinet by Milford Olsong a cedar chest, Lee Thompsong candle sticks and a walnut chest lined with cedar by Lester Payton: a table lamp by Wendell Chew, aerial and boat by VVayne Barnesg an attractive chifferobe has just been completed by Charles Prowse. The students are fortunate in having Mr. Sanders as their instructor. Mr. Sanders has wonderful skill in handling machinery and directing this work, and he keeps up-to-date in every respect by reading professional literature and attending special courses for Manual Arts Supervisors.

A large and juicy dill pickle, a few stray pieces of cheese, a wedge of lemon pieg these all hastened to join a chocolate sundae eaten a scant half-hour before. Then, my hunger appeased, I went to bed, but alas! not to im- mediate slumber. I was the fortunate owner of a charming tno other word would servej cat, a sleek, sleepy, self-confident fellow, with yellow fur and topaz eyes. He had but two faults, his choice of companions, and his fondness for late hours. The forlner were, an arrogant black beast, with a piratieal look-4 doubtless due to the fact that one ear had been partly chewed OH' in some nocturnal revel, and a demurc looking, but hoarse voiced nondescript of various colors, the predominant one being gray overlaid with yellow. As for the hours he keptAwell the company had just assembled so you can see they were scandalous. They formed an inharmonious group, and for half an hour I patiently listened to various works performed as solos, duets, and trios, while the entertainers walked the back-fence. Loud calls of Scatt were of no avail, my own cat presented an unrutfled countenance to the moon, the others took their cue from him. At last, grown desperate, I hurled a copy of Kindness to Dumb Beasts fl wish the author could have heard that groupj at the nearest mourner but my aim was wild, and it hit the fence instead. Taking lny inspiration from that I caught up the alarm clock, aimed at the fence, and hit the pirate, who was singing a mournful hymn. a chant of lost souls. XVith a frightened yowl the three leaped from their stage and fled, while I sank into a calm and peaceful sleep. But not for long. At my window appeared the pirate, grown to enor- lnous size, and he seized me by the nap of the neck and uncermoniously jerked me out into the moonlight, where I suddenly felt a mysterious urge to burst into song. I had to sing. And I mounted to the fence, opened my mouth and began. At lny best I am lllllllllSlC2ll-'-Elllll I was certainly not at my best then. Such dismal flattering of high notes! VVhat a clinging to funeral-toned low notes! Above allaffwliat frightful discord! But I could not stop. I was urged on by some mysterious force, com- pelled to wail and mourn. In the midst of the horrid moaning a head ap- peared at a window, the head of lny topaz-eyed pelfhut how large he Page Fifty-two l926-THE ECLIPSE,-l926 looked-and with a gesture of disgust he hurled something at me. His aim was better than mine. The object struck squarely upon the dill pickle and ice cream and I fell from the fence. I opened my eyes. There on top of me sat my cat, purring content- edly. He had entered through the open window, and through that same window came the long drawn howls of his two pals-the howls I had been attributing to my own efforts. With a relieved sigh I removed my pet and settled back to sleep vow- ing-never to eat dillpickles and ice cream together again? No, you're wrong. Vowing to kill the pirate. 7 , QI ianuarp Qnlilnqup It was the fatal week of January eleventh, the week looked forward to, not with joy, by all the High School. It was especially disagreeable to the ones who began to realize that their average of ninety percent might be an average' of eighty-eight or eighty-nine. So the week preceding the exams saw the school in a fit of industriousness that surprised even the passersby. Senior pencils were in great demand, books were devoured, and there was a furrow even in Bill Barker's forehead. Tuesday morning tlew around with a rapidity unheard of. Along came the first hour class and the first part of the period was used in giving advice. Now, pupils, thy pupils we knew whom she meantj I have graded you as I saw fit. fVVe knew thatj lt was my utmost desire to let all of you out of the exams fwe've heard that before, tool but owing to various complications ftwo abbreviations to be exact low grades and deportmentj I have been forced to exclude some of you fmost of usj from exemption.

And in this examination, pupils fshe sure had pupils on her brainj I want you to be honest? Honesty is a great asset?-an and so she continued for fifteen minutes more of this use- less and unnecessary admonition. At last she took out her grade hook-Aeverybody,s heart stopped beat- ing. She opened her book, everybody's eyes bulged. She took her breath-we held ours. She read the first name, a student relaxed, the remaining ones in the room grew pale. She read the second name, an- other student relaxedg the strain grew worse. A third name was read, a third student relaxedg the room was tense. A fourth name was read, the student fainted in his chair, the book went downvand we remained -pupils. And thus the second, third and to the seventh class passed in the same manner. Talkfadviceethe same, repeated and prolonged until the day ended, leaving one group of stuck upi' students, and a second crowd of nerve broken pupils. Our lot was cast. galclobert White.

ECLIPSE.-i926 Tut, tllut Habits, they tell us were ingrained in the human consciousness ages ago, and we still have an inclination to follow examples set for us by our ancestors. In spite of' talk and action by agitators and radicals, rebelling against ancient repetition, habits are with us yet. - Another fact, approved and agreed upon by philosophers, is that nothing ever happens that has not happened before. Long, long ago, so long that you and I can hardly have a conception ot' how many years, there lived ,a man with a name so long I shall not at- tempt to spell it, for few could pronounce it if I did. Perhaps you will recol- lect King Tut,'? Yes! NVell, it was he, who first had courage enough to break through the ranks of convention and VVHISTLE! If you are in- clined to be dubious ask the sages for the authentic facts. Everyone mis- reads the poor man's character. VVhistling is an emblem of cheerfulness. So King Tut must have been an optimistic man. Anyway these men will inform your very credulous self that by the shape of the honored King's lips they have discovered the fact that he was the first to indulge in this happy, noisy pastime. It was, and is, considered very improper, and for a girl most un- speakably terrible. Gradually this feeling is being overcome so even now it might not be considered a disgrace for a girl to whistle in public. Well, anyway it was perfectly natural and fortunate that some one should set an example and give to the world a new way to express happi- ness -yes happiness! Did you ever hear of an angry person whistling? Neither did I. I am sure we are all, secretly or openly, fond of whistling, which if continued long becomes a happy habit. For people of certain for uncer- tainj temperaments, there are some specifications they would with an en- thusiastic person to live up to-that the whistling person be considerate of other ears than his own which concentration have momentarily deafen- ed. Better yet for him to be isolated in the center of the Sahara or a simi- lar place. Now, following the old assertion- If a tree falls where there is no ear to hear it, there is no sound. Therefore personal conclusion: If a deaf person whistles and there is no one to hear him, he doesn't whistle! QueryAdid the old king whistle? Oh, Tut, Tut. -Hazel Leaming. whispering There is a queer thing about whispering. It seems perfectly all right for you to do it yourself but when others do it, you are so disgusted that you grit your teeth in rage. If you have ever tried to address a class, and just as you were waxing eloquent on your subject, you looked up and saw two heads close together talking fervently, paying absolutely no attention to your carefully pre- pared speech-then and only then, will you realize how impolite it is. Then, too, vou sit in a movie and two persons come in and sit directly behind you. Pretty soon you hear that annoying little buzz that is known as whispering. Page Fifty-five I926-THE ECLIPSE.-I926 They read the sub-titles in whispers, then talk about the audience in whispers, they discuss their favorite actors, favorite shows, Maybelle Br0wn's new hair cut, Susie Jones' new hat-all in that nerve racking little buzzing known as whispering. You wiggle and squirm and finally in desperation turn around and give them the benefit of a strong stare, but to no avail. It is incurable. -Mary VVagner. 4911 Making Excuses Everyone has habits, some are good, some are bad. Making excuses is a habit. Is it good, or is it bad? You rush frantically into class exclaiming, I lease, I left my work at home. May I bring it this noon '? And your teacher inquires, But why didn't you bring it? I forgot, the clock was slow, and I had to hurry. Then she QCIICF- ously replies, Yes, bring it in. But you can't expect full credit. You pass on to your next class to find a written lesson waiting for you. Please, may I borrow a pencil? I haven't any. Yes, what did you do with your own ? I lost itg or I loaned it and it wasn't returned, are your ever ready excuses. I didn't get to study this, may I borrow a book and come in tonight ? is the next excuse. Some one took my book. So on through the day, and all the rest of the days too. The same ex- cuses given in the same way. But yet they are perfectly good and per- fectly reasonable. No one can deny that. VVas it your fault the clock stopped or some one didn't return your pencil or took your book. Cer- tainly not. You didn't want them to take it, and keep it. As for the clock, was it your fault it stopped? I think not. Of course'you didn't wind it. It wasnit your clock why should you '? No, very surely it isn't your fault all these things happen. Certainly not. P -Mabel Newlin. ssj ... ?.. giggling Giggling is a form of laughter especially favored by the girls, and by a few boys. Its origin is unknown but Eve probably giggled when she nibbled the fatal apple. Giggling, however, annoying it may be, is to be much more favored than silent mirth. If somebody says anything funny in class, some giggle. some laugh out loud and some seem to be choking with laughter but make no sound. These last are to be most feared for suddenly they will fairlv explode with laughter and shower the persons around them with small drops of saliva. Giggling is usually accompanied with an acute sense of humor so that most gigglers may be excused, but there are a few who just giggle con- tinually, without the slightest provocation and I believe the lll0St people will agree with me when I make a motion that all of these extreme gigglers be marooned on a desert island.

ECLIPSE.-1926 why we Zthulige Qhrabam Zlinnnln t'l'his Iissay wo11 the Senior Medalj It is a pitiful and really a degrading fact that so lnany of our idols stand shakily on feet of clay. They tlash for an instant on the screen of our homage only to flicker out blown by the breath of scandal or the whirlwind of failure. Perhaps once and only once in the annals of history a man stands out clear and distinct in our memories. Can you think of one who is etched more clearly on the pages of history than Abraham Lincoln ? Go into any class room of tiny youngsters on his birthday, and you shall be answered for even baby hearts have learned and sensed, in some unknown way, the worth of Abraham Lincoln. That he is a universal hero, is proven by the attitude of the South after the Civil VVar. They forgot which side he figured on and relnember- ed only the man.-the man whose heart was pure gold and whose creed was humanity. Do you think that any other hero-of-the-hour has surviv- ed thc fire of time as successfully as Lincoln? Napoleon and Julius Caesar figured largely in the minds of their worlds. But has their popu- larity survived? VVe hear their names mentioned occasionally but they seem as remote from our lives as inanimate objects. The enemies of Caesar and Napoleon had no love for these men even after their battles were finished,fyet the South worships Lincoln as passionately as we do. A deep love for humanity permeated his very being. His great lnind coupled with this love of human kind made him sense the great wrong and curse of slavery. This same love together with his admiration for bravery led him to write a note of sympathy and consolation to a motller who had lost five sons in the Civil NVar. The proof of his honesty has passed down unquestioned through the ages. The eognomen of Honest Abe has been the tribute paid to his memory by a loving and appreciative people. Lincoln seems lo be almost immortal. His life harbored none of the petty weaknesses so prevalent in all ot' us. He seemed to stand head and shoulders above the crowd. His character stood very close to sublilnity. Yet to say that his heart was above the masses is erroneous, for his heart and soul were with the common people. Grief-stricken mothers found a true sympathizer in Lincoln. His great mind and heart saw the sordidness and disgrace of the negro's lot and determined to lift the burden of slavery from their shoulders. He was a true sympathizer. His mind was adapted to feel other's woes and to find a solution for lllClll. Perhaps the hardships he had experienced taught him to feel other's troubles, for his tribulations were many. Handicapped by poverty and balked at every step by ignorance he rose, by dint of labor and struggling, above that quag- mire of despair. His education was received from borrowed books and Page Fifty-eight l926-THE ECLIPSE.-l926 the flickering tlanie of fire-light. If he had accomplished nothing more than rising to the strata of an educated citizen he would have been truly great. The fact, however, that he reached the presidency, the highest position that a people's trust and confidence can give to a man, makes him the figure he is today. It is truly audacious of us to attempt to characterize Abraham Lincoln. He is so worthy of unearthly recognition. In one breath, we proclaim him a sort of spiritual being, and in another we recognize his hulnan qualities. His death was more keenly felt than any other American we have known. His untimely passing is best expressed by Edwin Markham, when he writes of the loneliness felt by the world when he was taken. As when a kingly cedar, green with boughs, Goes down with a shout upon the hill And leaves a lonesome place against the sky. I think that I shall never see A class as good as English III. A class that always take delight In writing essays late at nite. The teacher says we're finest yet, And I'l1 agree to that you bet. -Mary Sanford.

The Gir1's Clee Club consists of thirty-tive members, selected by means of vocal tests given at the beginning of the year. They have appeared at all the Declamatory Contests and will again sing during the Commence- lnent exercises in May. The Boy's Glee Club has numbered sixteen and for the most part is composed of younger members. The success of the Orchestra is due to the combined etl'orls of Miss Colette Duncan, supervisor of Music, and Miss Helen Roberts, director of grade orchestra. During the past year the melnbers have been practicing quite faith- fully, and took part in the District Music Festival held in Roosevelt High School, Des Moines, April tenth, where they received first place. This en- titled them to attend the State Contest at Iowa City, May sixth and eighth.

This course colnes one semester! two classes were completed during the year and upon completion of the course Red Cross Certificates were issued to the pupils who satisfac- torily passed the examinations. The course has been made elective in the regular high school curric- ulum.

BAILEY, Athletic Director Mr. Bailey came from Cedar Rapids in 1924. In the two years he has been with us he has made a splendid record. He is not o11ly a good coach but also a good fellow, and through his genial spirit, and co-operation with the boys they have come to feel that they are fortunate, indeed, in having such a friend.

SANDERS, Assistant Coueh Mr. Sanders has been in Perry six years and has proven very efficient as assistant coach. He is the man behind the lines developing the younger athletes for first team com- petition. His varied experience in all branches of athletics is an aid hoth to his popularity and his efficiency. Page Sixty-seven 1926-THE. ECLIPSE.-i926 CAPTAIN, DALE LHANNER, Wt. 185, Center, Luke Hanner was an exceptionally hard tighter and a deadly tackler and was outstanding both on offensive and defensive. Luke', was a good captain, and well liked by his team mates but the eight semester rule bars Dale from further athletic competition. VVe are sorry to lose him. HZAROLD ATWOOD, Quarterback, Atty Atty played his position as quarterback in real style. He was small, a shifty open field runner and a good tackler. Next year Coach Bailey should have a real quarterback to work with. LEO BRYANT, Wt. 165, Guard, Jumbo This was Jumbo's first year on the first team. He was a good clean player and always worked hard. He was one of the stars in the Indianola and Guthrie games. WALno CoNNox, Wt. 170, Halfback, 'tJazzy 'ilazzyi' played a real game at halfback. He was a good ground gainer, an accurate passer and he booted a mean ball, most of his punts averaging 45 yards. He played his best football at Coon Rapids when he received many comments on his long passes and ground gaining. He will be lost by graduation. Page Sixty-eight: 1926-THE ECLIPSE.-1926 TRUMAN ROBERTS, Wt. 135, Halfback, 'tSlippery While Slippery Roberts did not win his letter this year he certainly has a good chalice for next year. Slippery always had a strange desire to run the ends, which probably explains why he was able to gain so con- sistently around the Coon Rapids wings. Truman will form an important cog in the B. and VV. scoring machine next year. I EARL STEWARD, Wt. 145, End, t'Stew', Stew lacked only a few quarters of winning his letter, but with the experience gained this year and his fighting ability he should have little trouble next year. He will have another year to demonstrate his ability. H.4RLEY WHLCOX, Wt. 160, End, 'Tomi' Tom', held down a berth at end, and being strung out pretty well, was able to pull out of the sky, passes that would seem impossible to the average person. He was one of the stars of the Indianola game, when he broke through and tackled the runner before Indianola could get their plays started. Harley will be lost by graduation this spring. DALE Woons, Wt. 135, End, '6Oscar Oscar was a real end, was light and shifty on his feet, and had more than the usual 3ll'l0llI1t of fight. He played a wonderful game at Coon Rapids Where he and Connor completed a fifty yard pass, one of the longest of the year. He is a real fighter and should make a good record next season.

He was fast on his feet, and a sensational broken field runner and in spite of the fact that he only weighed 135 pounds, he was an excellent line smasber. VVith the experience of this year, he will have a good chance to lnake a real reputation for himself next season. DONAl.ll KANEALY, Wt. 145, End, Pug Don suffered a broken collar bone early in the 1925 season and tllis prevented his winning his letter. However, he showed up well in every chance that Coach Bailey gave him, and next year with his shoulder com- pletely well, he will make an excellent end for he has the fighting blood. WAYNE LYMPUS, Wt. 150, Tackle, Lympus Lympus was one of these hard lighters who knew how to win and how to lose, never willing to quit, a real tackler and an all around sport. Lympus played his best game against Colfax, and he was largely respon- sible for defeat of the Colfax aggregation. Lympus has played his last game for Perry High and his position will be hard to till. HARVEY MONTGOMERY, lCapt. Electl, Wt. 180, Fullbaek, Montgomery Montgomery was big and fast, a hard player and a sure tackler, and was the battering ram at line smashing. He was also ranked among the leading drop kickers of the state, having booted the longest drop kick of any player in Iowa, in the Newton game. He dropped back to his own forty-eight yard lille and drop kicked the ball squarely between the goal posts, which gave him undisputed possession of that honor for 1925. He also received honorable mention on the all state eleven. Page Seventy 1926-THE ECLIPSE.-l926 1 l LESTER DUGAN, Wt. 165, Guard, Dugan Dugan was a good line man, had lots of fight, and was always able to hold his own with men who had more football experience. They all look- ed alike to him. He was always in the thick of the fight and always look- ed for more. Lester played his best game at Newton, where they come big? JOE HOHANSHELT, Wt. 150, Guard, Joe Joe won his letter through his untiring efforts and real fight. He showed that he could stick with the best of them and he proved his worth. In the Jefferson game he was steady and consistent in his line work. VVhat he lacked in experience he made up in real honest hard work and fight. Joe will be lost by the graduation route. FOREST HOAGLAND, Wt. 170, Tackle, Hoag,' One of the best fighters on the Perry team was Hoag He was the mainstay of his side of the line, and he was never content with just holding out his man, but rather he would break through the opposing line and throw the backtield men for losses. In every game he played well but he showed up best at Newton. WALTER KRIESE, Wt. 140, Halfback, Shorty Shorty Kriesc was known as the kid with lighting spirit. He was small and light, but that did not keep him from being one of Perry's lead- ing ground gainers. No one looked very big to Shorty . Kriese was a dangerous man on the oifensive and it was considered poor head work to let him get half a start for the ends because he was a hard one to stop. VVe were sorry to lose Kriese. Page Seventy-one I926-THE ECLIPSE.-l926 2115132 beasnn - The 1925 football season was very successful. Perry won five games, lost three, and tied one. The team was well balanced and worked well together. At, the end of the season two men were given honorable mention by Sec Taylor. These players are Harvey Montgomery and Dale Hanner. Schedule The first game was at Redfield, September 18. The day was sultry, but our boys won a hard fought battle, 13-6. The first home game was with Dexter, September 25. Our team also won this game by a score of 6-0. The much talked-of Colfax team came to Perry October 3 and after playing on a wet field, went home less talked of. Perry won 13-6. On October 10 Perry went to Newton and after the long ride lost 7-6. After the game the team was entertained at Miss Klopping's home. Indianola was unlucky enough to receive the brunt of the resentment and were defeated 7-6. Miss McKee entertained the team at her country home near Indianola. At the next home game Perry met defeat at the hands of the fast Guthrie Center team, 13-0. After a spell of bad weather, Adel came to Perry November 7 and held our team to a 6-6 score, the second consecutive tie score in football. Before the largest crowd of the year, Perry slumped and met de- feat at the hands of Jefferson on November 11, by a top-heavy score of 38-0. Coming back strong Perry went to Coon Rapids November 20 and won a fast game 19-6, which closed the season of 1925. Sprigg has cobe-sprigg has cobe! Add how do I kdow?

Page Seventy-two 1926-Tl-IE ECLIPSE-1926 Basket Zgatt ehietn XVith tl1e hardest schedule Perry ever had, and witl1 only one letter lllllll back from last last year, Coach Bailey was confronted with tl1e task of building an entirely new team. Practically all reporting for practice had little or no experience and lltltl not played together until the first game of the season. The task of roundin f tl1e material into sha Je was a hard one but with the instruction ot Coach Bailey and the experience gained by every Qtlllll' ilaved, tl1e team fraduallv im Jroved. This was eostlv ex Jerience, how- V f- U . M . ever, and consequently many ot the games were lost, most ot them by close scores of two or three points. After tl1e first semester tl1e team was seriously handicapped by the loss of Kriese who left Perry to go to school in St. Paul. Kriese was the only letter Illllll back from last year and was o11e of the best players on tl1e team. As the SCZISOII went on, tl1e nu111her out for practice gradually grew smaller until there was only about ten men practicing regularly and as a result of their hard work and determination, seven of them received let- ters. Of these seven, four are Sophomores and one is a Junior. They should colnpose a winning team next year and with the experience they have gained this year, will probably put Perry on the lnap for the next two years. The first game, at ltladrid, was lost by a score of 23-15. A poor start for the team. - Page Seventy-tllree l926-THE.

The team next went to Coon Rapids and as a result Perry came out on the little end of a 25 to 7 score. The floor was nothing to brag about and seriously handicapped the team. Jalnaica was the next to hand us a defeat when they came over during vacation. The score was 25-12. In sort of a practice game Dawson romped away with a 30-15 victory but that is to be expected as Dawson has one of the best teams in the state. The next Tuesday Perry went to Granger where they received 16-11 score. This was a good game but the Perry team was handicapped by the small floor and the poor lighting. The game with Indianola the next Friday was perhaps the most thrill- ing game of the season, although Perry lost 16-14. This was the first game in which the school really knew they had a team and that they were doing their best to win. The next game Perry played a team that completely outclassed them. Boone won the game 31-11, and it was no disgrace to be beaten by a team as good as Boone. As a mid-week game, Maxwell came here and won a fast game by a score of 43-21. The next game on Friday was the worst walk-away of the season when Dallas Center came here and won 41-10. The following Tuesday Perry again went down to defeat at the hands of Adel, 29-11. On the following Friday Perry went to Ogden where they staged some of their football ability and won a hard fought battle 15-17. The game was a thriller from start to finish and two extra periods were necessary before the game was won. Jefferson was next to visit here and went home with a 15-11 victory. Perry then went to VVoodward and defeated them 17-15 in a rough and tumble game in their cracker-box. The next victim was Bayard who went down to a 41-17 defeat. The team completely ran away with the Bayard aggregation and the Perry substitutes were all used. A large crowd accompanied the team but the game was too easy to be really appreciated. Tuesday Rippey came to Perry and took home a 1--1-12 victory which they never should have had. The next defeat was at the hands of Stuart who came with a fast team and went back with one slowed down a bit but with the heavy end of 19-15 score.

Perry finished the last of the scheduled games with a whirl by winning the last ,two games. This time Perry turned the tables on Granger and beat them 25-18 on the high school floor. The last game of the season was probably the best, when Perry won from Colfax 15-10 on the home floor. Superior defense and the fact that the Perry team broke for the basket in good shape made the victory in- teresting. Perry was entered in the Dallas Center Sectional Tournament and drew Dallas Center. Here Dallas was quite surprised and down-trodden by a 24-23 defeat. The dope was all upset by the outcome of this game and as a result of a bye Perry played Adel in the final game Saturday night. Adel won by a decisive score however, and Perry was eliminated. The outcome of this tournament was quite the opposite of what it was planned to be as Dallas Center completely overwhelmed Perry in the scheduled game earlier in the season. Although we did not win the tournament we were satisfied to beat Dallas and be qualified for the final game. WALDO CONNOR, Forward Jazzy played a consistent game, going from the first whistle to the last. He developed a good eye for the basket and sank many difficult shots which made him one of the highest scorers on the team. Waldo was fast on the floor and was able to get the ball where he wanted it by his dribbling. He will be lost this year by graduation. HARLEY W1Lcox, Center Tom, although handicapped by inexperience had developed, by the last of the season, into one of the best centers for Perry for many years. Harley was a hard, clean fighter and was in most of the plays. He was also a good basket shooter :Ind accounted for many of the points made. Tom is lost by graduation. ' Enwium KANEALY, Guard Although this was Ed's first year as a regular he developed into one of the best guards Perry has ever had. It was easy for Ed to get possession of the ball and he always found a place of good advantage to throw it. He was responsible for breaking up most of the opponent's plays and also scored a good number of points on long shots. Ed has another year to play. ELMER CONNOR, Forward , Elmer was the scrappiest man on the squad and a good basket shooter. His aptness to gain possession of the ball for his teammates caused his opponents much worry. He was a clean, hard fighter and his unlimited scrap kept the morale of the team at a high pitch all the time. Elmer should develop into a very fast forward next year and will probably be one of the strongest bets for the team. Page Seventy-five 1926-THE ECLIPSE.-1926 XVALTER Knit-isle, Guard Shorty was the only letter man back from last year. He had a good eye for the basket and piled up many much needed points for his team. He was fast and quick and used this to advantage in sneaking down the floor to snag a basket. Although he was one one of the smallest men on the team, he showed some of the bigger fellows up with his scrap and hard fighting. Lrio B R Y A NT, Guard This was .lumbo's first year as a regular and although he had had little experience on the court, he developed into a strong defensive player. He was tall and was able to take the ball off the opponent's back-board and get possession of it for his teamlnates. Jumbo has two more years to play. PAn1. KELLEY, Guard Kelley, while a substitute. was ready to go in at any time and could always be depended upon for a lot of fight and a real game. He was able to till either guard or forward position and has a fairly good eye for the basket. NIILFORD ULsoN, Forward 0lie was the smallest man on the team and consequently was knock- ed around a bit but always came back for more when he was given a chance to play. Ile has an uncanny eye for the basket which he got through diligent practice and was exceptionally good at long shots. 5 Xp,y Page Seventy-six 1926-THE ECLIPSE-1926 , .1,m.'. 4 4 X at va.. i l'l'I R R-Y 'l' RACK TEAM ibrnspent anh Retrospect The 1.926 season should be very successful, although all the letter men but two were lost by graduation or the eight selnester rule. The Class Meet held last spring uncovered some good material for the 1926 track team. Several good dash men were developed which should combine into a very fast short relay team. Some of the track men that had been train- ing for distance made some good records at the class meet and will make a good mile and two mile relay team, also good half-mile and mile run- ners on the 26,' Track Team. Perry High School had men entered at the Stuart Relays, Drake Relays, Council Bluffs Relays, Guthrie Center Meet and Coon Valley Conference, besides our Annual Home Meet. The track team of H252 had a very successful season, due to the short relay team and some outstanding individual work gained through strict training. The first meet was the Stuart Relays where the short relay team lnade a very good showing for the first meet by winning both the 220 and 440 yard relays. Schell placed second in the 220 yard dash. The next trip was to the Drake Relays, 0119 of the biggest meets of its kind in the United States and it was here that the short relay team proved they were going to be a success by winning the 220 and 440 yard relays. The two mile relay team placed forth. Perry having two firsts and a fourth place were the winners of Class B but no cup was awarded. The Perry Meet was next on the season's program. The short relay team won both short relays, Schell won the 100 yard dash. Brenton placed second in the 440 yard dash. Schell won 220 dash, also 220 yard low hurdles. Roberts won second in 100 yard dash and 220 yard dash. The mile relay team placed second.

This was per- haps the fastest invitation meet in which Perry took part. The short re- lay team won as usual both short relays, Schell won the 100 and 220 yard dash, also placed second in 220 yard low hurdles. Kropf placed third in the high hurdles. Perry was invited to a Triangular Meet at Jefferson between Rockwell City, Jefferson, and Perry but Carroll was also there. Schell won the 100 yard dash. The mile relay placed second and Barton placed second in the broad jump. Brenton placed second in the 440 yard dash. The last invitation meet of the season was at Carroll where the team met some fast competition. The short relay team won the short relays. Schell won the low hurdles, the 220 yard dash and placed second in the 100 yard dash. Carpenter placed second in the mile run. As a climax to the successful season the team went to the State Meet held at the Iowa State College at Ames. The short relay team brought home high honors in both the 220 and 440 yard relays. Schell won the 100 yard dash and Carpenter placed fourth in the mile run. Taking the season of 25 as a whole it was a very successful season and put Perry on the map as having one of the fastest track teams in the country. J assi: Knorr Jess was our captain a11d set up a good example by training care- fully and working hard while in practice. He was always entered in the pole vault, javelin, discus and high hurdles, in which he made many points for the team. HERBERT SCHELL Herb was our star track man. He was the starter on the short relay team, was always a winner in the 100 yard dash and 220 yard dash. He also won in the 220 low hurdles. Herb displayed some very good work at the State Meet at Ames winning the 100 yard dash also the 220 yard dash and giving the relay team a good start in each of the short relays. His loss to the team is very much regretted and we hope to hear from him in college. Airruux BRENTON Art was second man in the short relay team and always lengthened the lead given him. He ran the 440 yard dash for several victories and made a good showing in the low hurdles. TRU MAN Rom-:RTS Cato was anchor man in the short relay team and made some very good finishes of the relays in which the team was entered. He also had a successful season with the 100 yard dash and gave Herb a hard race at every meet. He has two more years to run on the team and we expect to hear good reports of him for 26. Page Seventy-eight I926-THE. ECLIPSE-1926 DONALD GARDINER Don came out for track in his last year and made the team with very little effort. He was third man in the short relay team and always stretched the lead given him. If he had another year we would expect some outstanding work on the track from him. JOHN BARTON Bart could always be depended upon to lllilke some points in the field events. He made some good records vaulting and broadjumping while on the track team. He could throw the discus and always placed in the high hurdles. John had a little hard luck at the first of the season by spraining his ankle and was out of several meets. WALDO CONNOR Jazzy could toss the shot for a counter every time and he made a good showing in the mile relay team. He also made good records with the javelin. He has another year on the team and we will doubtless see some good work from him in 26f' ' l J oHN CARPENTER Carp was our best distance man on the team. He had a place on the two mile relay team, the medley team and was always entered in the mile run, with which he had a very successful season and he placed fourth in the mile run at the State Meet which was very good considering the keen opposition which he met up. BERNARD HOHANSHELT Honk made some good records in the 440 dash and he had a promi- nent place on the mile relay team. He has been an all around athlete while in Perry High. WALTER KR1EsE Shorty made a good record for himself in the mile run and one-half mile run while in Perry High. He could always be depended upon to give the two mile relay team a good start in their races. Shorty was also a valuable man to keep the team in good humor. DUWAYNE HARTzELL Hartzell was third man on the two-mile relay, he also had a place on the mile relay. This was his first year on the team and had he another year on the team would make a distance man. JonN MCCAMMON McCammon was a very valuable discovery in the one-half mile and a very important part in the placing in the two mile relay at Drake. After the Drake Relays he was taken sick and unable to participate in any more track activities which crippled the two mile relay team. WAYNE LYMPUS Wayne did some good work on the track in the season of 25 but was unable to place in any of the races for points sufficient to win his letter.

ECLIPSE-I926 Girls' igasket Ball The basket ball season opened with a great deal of interest this year and the enthusiasm was very keen. Miss Kiinm, the new coach, quickly fitted in among the girls and they soon appreciated her efforts in this posi- tion. Tl1e class series was held again this year, and the honors cooped,, for the second year by the Class of '26. The girls were so enthusiastic over the series, that they will probably hold them again next year. The keenest competition this year was between the Junior and Senior girls teams. The Perry girls' basket ball team had exceptionally good teamwork this yearg considering their one disadvantage of height. The girls went through the entire season without the loss of a game. Jefferson was this year the strongest rival, but was defeated twice by the girls' team. The schedule for the season was: Dee. Dec.

ECLIPSE-1926 The Sectional Tournament was held at Perry, March 11, 12, 13. There were fourteen teams entered, but two withdrew. The Perry team played Johnston Station, Dawson and Jefferson. Dawson was one of the strong- est teams entered, but was eliminated by Perry. Jefferson and Perry were in the finals. Perry winning by a score of 49-15. This entitled the Perry girls to enter the District Tournament as champion of their section. The District Tournament was held at Audubon. New Market, Sidney, Audubon and Perry were entered. Perry won from Sidney, but lost to New Market and Audubon, thereby entitling Audubon to the championship of the Southwest District which was last year held by Perry. Ouida Brown, Forward, has been a very capable captain for two years, and leaves us this year, to go to larger fields. Ouida has played forward position her entire career and has proven she has an unfailing eye for shooting baskets. The teamwork between she and Beulah is the best ever witnessed between any two forwards of Perry High. Ouida has not only scored in athletic lines, but has also placed her name on the list of honor roll students. Perry High is proud to have one as talented as she in athletics. Beulah Barton, Forward, is one of the fastest little players in P. H. S. Although she received many a hard knock, her fight', never deserted her. She is a light player but has the ability to cover a great deal of ground in a few seconds, and is very accurate in basket shooting. She remains to carry on the forward work of next year's team. Esther Darmer, Jumping Centerf, is a mighty fine little player. She always outplayed her opponents in center, her only disadvantage being in height. The tip-off was usually in possession of the opponents, but Esther made up for this in fast, clean floorwork. Next year's team should be proud that they have such excellent material left. Esther has not only made an excellent record in athletics but has placed her nalne on the honor roll at the head of her class. Jennie Baum, Side Center, is one whose heart is always in her work. Whatever she attelnpts she always carries it through to the very best of her ability. She always plays a clean, fast game with her opponents. Al- though the tip-off was seldom secured by the Perry team in center, Jennie was found by her rivals to be a sticker. She will leave us through graduation this year, but will long be remembered by P. H. S. Margaret Diesner, Guard, has successfully convinced the public of her athletic ability. She is an important link in the teamwork of the Perry Girls' Basket Ball team. Margaret made a forward's shooting very difficult by her good work at guarding. The basket ball patrons and the students of Perry High will be glad to know that she will be with the team for another year. Norma Chrystie, Guard,', is a player that is always on the job.,' Her fighting spirit kept the ball down to the forwards in many a game. Her playing was always commendable, being fast and clean.

Page Eighty-tllree 6-THE ECLIPSE.-I G. A. A. Col'NclL I926-THE ECLIPSE.-1926 Girls' Qtbletic Qssuciatiun Realizing that in the past, athletics for boys have constituted the greater part of the high school program of athletics, and thatathleties for girls is yet ill a very unsettled condition, the girls of Perry High School have attempted to work out a program for their own high school, keeping in mind always that it is essential to develop the sport for the girl and not the girl for the sport. As a result the Girls' Athletic Association was or- ganized and the following girls were given the signal honor of being the first officers: X X . N . t ' President Jennie Baum Vice President Evelyn Ross Secretary - Gladys Brenton Treasurer - Esther Darmer Two girls from each class were elected as representatives in the Coun- cil, the advisory and governing body of the organization. It is the aim of the organization to have every girl in school participate in some form of activity, rather than have a limited number participate because of superior physical prowess. It also aims to train for health, sportsmanship and mental efficiency. Awards are made to those earning a total of 550 points during the school year. These points are gained in various ways, e. g. by following rules of health, such as eating proper food, getting the proper amount of sleep, or by hiking a certain lllllllbel' of miles in stipulated time. By par- ticipating in basket ball, base ball, volley ball, tennis, skating, swimming, bicycle riding and horseback riding. Aside from these activities the G. A. A. Council has taken a vital interest in the May Pageant put on by the physical education department. Although the G. A. A. is a new organization in Perry High School, the girls feel that the enthusiasm already aroused will create additional in- terest for the yearsto come. Page Eighty-five I926-THE. ECLIPSE.--1926 may iBageant On May 1-1 the higl1 school lawn was the scene of a beautiful May Pageant put on by the Physical Education Department in honor of the May Queen, Esther Darmer, who was chosen by the student body and teachers of the high school because of her outstanding qualities of char- acter, scholarship, leadership, and service. The pageant portrayed The Conflict of the Seasons. King Winter was confident that he was the favorite in the eyes of the world so when Spring came to claim the throne he drove her back with his Snowflakes and North Wind. Spring struggled hard to keep her position, but she was finally overpowered and ordered to be hidden away in a large cocoon. The May Queen, knowing that May Day could not he successful in any country without Spring, requested that King Winter release her. He did not grant her request but he agreed to her suggestion of having a contest to let the nations decide which they would rather have, Spring or Winter. The May Queen then sent out word for the nations to assemble. Each nation came out dancing a characteristic dance to prove her identity, and each was given a chance to choose the symbol representing the season she was championing. King VVinter soon realized that his popularity was mostly in his own mind as one nation after another chose Spring's symbol. America was thc last to enter the contest. She was represented by Uncle Sam and the Goddess of Liberty, the Easterners, the Farmers of the Mid-West, the Cowboys and Indians of the Far West, and the Southerners. After each group had danced its characteristic dance, Uncle Sam, believing that those who had ruled their legitimate time should graciously withdraw in favor of the rightful successors, called- upon his cowboys to frighten Winter from the throne and release poor cramped Spring from the cocoon. She was then permitted to ascend the throne unmolested after which the Queen was crowned by her attendants who danced in her honor. Page Eighty-six l926-THE. ECLIPSE-1926 101333, jfrum Jfurmer jfacultp Jfrienhs To the Readers of the 1926 Eclipse, Greetings: Mingled memories of the pleasant associations of the past, a sense of regret at present separation, and joy of the privilege in saluting you are IIIIIIC as I write these lines. I confidently trust that you press on toward the attainment of your highest ideals in the same happy spirit of good fel- lowship and achievement by fair play which I knew in you when I was present with you in person as I am always in spirit. To every reader, my wishes are for the richest blessings life can give, and to the out going class, who sponsor the book and with whom I was a beginner in Perry High School, may I extend in a special manner my high hopes for your futureffor success in its truest meaning and in a measure even beyond your fondest expectations. In all sincerity, LILIAN DAVIDSON. 541 Lexington Avenue, New York City. To Mine Own Elect the Class of 1926: I feel highly honored that you offered me the opportunity to write for the Eclipse. How that word brings back memories of last March when we were working together for the last annual. He who sets out on the high road of life with observing eyes and in- finite interest in All sorts and conditions of People, always finds adven- ture lurkmg around every corner. I do not think I have missed lnany of Page Eighty-seven 1926-THE ECLIPSE.-I926 theln. This Boston town is an intriguing place. It satisfies the curiosity but never satiates it. I am herewith inviting you to be 1ny guests, for a tour of this American Athens. But since you arrive at the Huntington Avenue station this Friday morning, and can only spend the week-end with me, I shall take you only tothe places you would each prefer. First I shall takc Thomas'and -George over to Tech, thru marvelous chemical laboratories. The great M.I.T. boast of the full and pompous title of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. If' there is anything in the uni- verse that you want to learn, from architecture to X-ray, they have it. You people have never heard of the thing you call work, until you hit Tech. The Old South Meeting House, about which I wrote some of you, is a museum of wonderful treasures. Notable, I think, is the fact that in this church was placed the first upper balcony designed for colored people. From this balcony came the expression nigger heaven. Washington spoke here at the end of the Revolution. Some of the original pews, with the doors, are still there. Each had its patent squeak, so that the minister might know his flock was all present by counting the squeaks. ' ' ' Now we pass thru the Common, thru the Public Gardens, and on up Com- monwealth Avenue, one of the most exclusive resident districts of the Q i 'I t k Saturday morning, I want you to go to Emerson with me. l'll take you to Dr. Black's class, where you 111ay hear one of the seven greatest lit- erary critics in the world. He was a classmate of Stevenson, and Barrie at Edinburgh University, and counts as his intimate friends, Kipling, Gals- worthy, and Chesterton. Yet he has the most delightful sense of humor, and entertains every moment. Cross the street, turn the corner a11d we stand before the great Public Library. ' ' ' ' ' We have only a few hours for the Museum and Mrs. Gardner's Palace, when you ought to have months. The Museum has almost unbelieveable treasures. ' ' ' Then we will go to the Metropolitan, the new million-dollar moving pic- ture theatre, said to be even finer than the famous Capitol .in New York. Sunday we will go to church at Trinity-the great church where Phillips Brooks so long preached. The nave and the transepts are high and square, like the Italian cathedrals. But now it is time for your train--here's every success to the Eclipse. Devotedly yours, Boston, Mass. Norma Arlene Gooden. Onc't there was a Freshie, who wouldn't write his theme. He'd rather sit around all day and dream and dream and dI'C3lll. Before he had a chance, his magazine to hide, There was a teacher astandin' by his side. She whisked him to the office 'fore he knew what he's about, And they'll get you too, 'Ef you don't watch out. -Lucille Yauger.
