1926-THE. ECLIPSE.-1926 39. Q. 5. 5. 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. Page 'l'wenty-eight
