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. The people who could trill like night- ingales fdo they trill?J or manage to strike a right note on a horn or fiddle Page Twentiv-uiue

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

1926-THE. ECLIPSE-1926 at some time or other were heartily applauded and National songs were created about them. 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. Last but not least QT hat is not an original sayinglj comes the third round Scholarship Only remarkably wise, intelligent, sensible, learned and brilliant pupils are here enrolled. Listen carefully maybe your name's on it: Esther Darmer. NVilma Morton, Elmer Berglund, Elizabeth Yates, Leora Brown, VVilliam Neil and Bernice Yarde are our in-tell-ect-ual tMercyl such a wordj giants. Did I miss any? Oh, did I leave you out ? I beg pardon most humbly. NVhat is your name? To be sure. There! And now that I've been saving this up for three years to tell you I think you ought to thank me kindly. Yes! P. S. If anyone has any grievances, wait till I'ni a millionaire and l'll see about it then. Is that all right? Well. ,-,-..-1-1-1 YE OLDE FAVORITES .lust a Sailor's Sweet -Dorothy Stickel.
