Its football, basketball, and track teams have received interstate recognition and high praise for their excellence. A school's pep is usually fostered and maintained by its athletics, which ls the one factor in a school which really puts the school on the map. And Pittsburg High School certainly has become wfldely known for its various athletic teams. Two years ago under the captaincy of Johnnie Davis, Pittsburg's basket loopers captured the Third District title. Coach Brown and Captain Davis then took their men to Lawrence for the state meet. Here they walked off with third place. It was at this point that Pittsburg began to wake up to the fact that great possibilities lie in the future. Such a statement was easily justified: for the next fall the new high school was going to be ready for occupancy. The first year in the new building proved to be all that had been antici- pated. It was ln the eason of '21, when Arkie Hoffman was captain of the football team, that Pittsburg beat their ancie.nt rival, Fort Scott, for the first time since Noah settled on Mount Ararat. Arthur Van Houten, quarterback, had a highly developed left toe at that time. Vvhen the basketball season of '21-'22 came around, Alan Lanyon, a three-year star, was captain. Lanyon's superior ability ever beaconed his basket companions to more diligent playing and better team work. In the District tournament that year, as in the previous year, Pittsburg and Fort Scott tangled in the final game. Pittsburg again showed themselves as a real bunch of basketball players, and won the tournament. At the state meet, however. Fort Scott was the undefeated team, while Pittsburg took third, as in the year before. But the athletic success Qas lt was consideredl of '21-'22 was only a stepping-stone in the rise of Pittsburg to the pinnacle of athletic fame. It has'not been reached yet! Nevertheless the seasons of '22-'23 may be said to have advanced closer than any previous year. Captain Arthur Cooper took his football squad through a season of which the high school is proud. Under the direction of Coach Morgan a real football team was hammered into shape from a mass of raw and seasoned material. An exceedingly good record was made by Captain Van Houten and his basket specialists. As a whole the quality of this team was as good as any ln the school's history, even though the strong Iola five beat them in the final game of the District tournament. Time alone stands between Pittbsurg High School and great athletic achievements. The coming years are seen to be filled with a multitude of possibilities which time alone will heap upo.n Pittsburg High. ' . Page seventeen ro of BALL 4 , oe .. . I 1 ml Football Fading: of 122 Looking back upon those days from October 10 to November 25, that period seems to stand out as a bright spot in the history of high school athletics. The squad of '22, captained by Arthur Cooper, was as clean a bunch of men as ever graced a gridiron. Their ability to fight hard and co-operate helped constitute what was considered a powerful offensive machine. Another important factor of the machine was the superior generalship of Arthur Van Houten, quarterback. The two Arts ran the squad when in action. Coach Morgan ran it between halves: but it was in action that they made their touchdowns. The strongest part of their offensive, however, was not scoring, but making first downs. A good example of this is the game with Columbus High School, The game was won on two flukes. Although a defeat for Pittsburg this tussle let everyone know how strong the men of the Purple and White really were. . Two defeats were suffered: one from Columbus and another at the hands of Joplin. These were the first two struggles of the season, thereafter not another game was lost. VVhen Fort Scott came to Pittsburg, the dope went that it would be berries for the home boys since Scott had just lost several of their best men. But there were no berries to be had. Fort Scott brought a sure-nuff team down, and played Pittsburg to a 6-6 tie. A success or a failure, the football season of 1922 will be reserved as a bright spot in the lives of such men as Arthur Cooper, John Davis, Arthur Van Houten, Bill Davis, Bill Gerye, Reggie Carter, and Frank Hoffman. + The Booster.

Morgan came to Pittsburg High School from Hiawatha, where he coached a winning football squad for seven years. Before setting out upon his profession, Coach Morgan furnished the brain power for the Emporia Normal squad for four years. Captain Arthur Cooper, otherwise known as little 115-pound Cooper, played his first two years of high school football with Joplin High School at half. Had he remained there for his third, he would have captained the Joplin eleven. Coop's two years in Pittsburg High School football at half and full- back are an asset to the school. ' - Frank Arkie Hoffman, rated authentically as the best center in the state, made his opposing centers know they were up against a real man. If he cou1dn't get through the line, it was just the same to Arkie -he went over! Cleo Bell, captain-elect, plays a hard consistent halfback position. Bellar is good for five yards through the line most any time. Arthur Titanic Van Houten has saved lots of games for P. H. S. with his alert football brain. Van is a three-year man. John Wedge Davis has been called the endingest end that ever ended. John is a right smart end on both defense and offense, but is better known for his clever passing. Everett Bunker Bournonville, quarterback for the Normal in '21, ran a speedy half-back position for P. H. S. Bunk's swift end circles netted Pittsburg a great yardage no small number of times. Vvilburn Bill Davis fnot claiming kin to Johnnieb playing at right guard made it impossible for the opposing team to gain on that side of our line. Idris Ide Boltz filled an end or a halfeback position with equal skill. Ide's passing, running, and clever booting kept him on the regular line-up. Reggie Reg Carter, left tackle, was always in the game and spilled every man turned into him by his end. Clark Con Bowker certainly plunges a dirty line. VVhen he hits 'em, they think a French 75 is going through. VVarren Rusty Seeley in the season of '21 was playing with the Normal. The season of '22 found him making good on Pittsburg High's line. Rusty will probably center next year. Ted Hasher Yoakum on account of his weight did n-ot make the regular line-up. As a tackle, however, there are few who can beat him. Ralph Punk Garriott was in most of the games as left tackle. Punk 'opens up some regular holes for his plunging backs. Cliff Chief Armstrong held down right end most of the season. On the defense Armstrong never failed to be behind the opponent's line, breaking up plays. fEditor's Note-This was a tough bunch of nuts, and hard to crack.J Page twenty 1:2 as fgllr -2:2 :ii - - ' IIIII 'I 'Ill' 1- .e- 5'5 -1. ,Q-x it ' lllll ILL! Registered CBasketball CBlarney For a while at the beginning of the season it looked as if Pittsburg's scoring force would be destroyed if Johnnie Davis were barred. Davis in the first game with McCune refstered 12 l k High he looped 8. gi ras ets, and in the next against Normal Johnnie was barred, but the scoring part of the team was not destroyed. Jip Hill was added to the line-up. He and Bunker Bournonville then held down the forward positions the remainder of the year. Captain Arthur 'Van Houten caused many a good forward to wish he had never seen a basketball, with his quick, active guarding. Van is a fast guard and was recognized as such by the authorities of the District tournament. He made all-Third District guard. Frank Hoffman also placed as guard on the all-star team. His superior work under the opp0nent's basket was one of Pittsburg's strongest points. Arkie has been the cause of many a true arch not reaching its destination by catching the ball in mid--air after it had left the forward's hands. Ide Boltz was placed in the District tourney as captain and forward of the second all-star team. This position is quite as much an honor as the' first team. Ide played a center's position which took him all over the floor When he let go of the inflated sphere and directed it toward the basket, he never meant maybeg what he meant was 'isure-nufff' 2 7 1923 I s Page twenty-two Registered Basketball Blarney Jimmie VVe1ch islshort in stature, but slings a fast pair of dogs. This year he was first here-then here-and there: in fact nobody knew exactly where to find .him-just wherever they saw him. Fred Thornberry played last year with the Junior High School and made quite a record for himself as captain of the Winning freshman squad this year. Fred is what might be called a consistent basketball man. Frank Pug Thomas has played lots of basketball in his days, and this season he played with a cool head. Perhaps his most admirable quality is his good team work. Bunker Bournonville is not what one would call a regular point maker. Bunker was always where the ball went, playing his style of fast, quick basketball. Bunker's floor work was of great value to the squad. James Hill taking Davis' place had a big place to fill. Jip lacked the weight but had the determination and fight that counts. Coach Morgan and his basket five were a little disappointed in being nosed out of the District tourney, though their season's record shows them to be a. real bunch of basket artists.

From whence it comes?-Ask the Weave.r of the Loom. Thru our whole lives its haunting golden tone Leads us to fame and youthful dreams, fulfilled, Assuring us to win Dame Fortune's smile, Is but to make the game of life worth while, And use the better traits in us instilled. Four years!- It seems they've flown on golden wings, So quickly by us did the fleeting school-days roll, Each bringing us one step more near our goalg The preparation of us all for greater things. A debt beyond conception do we owe To those whose efforts fit us for the place That each now holds when starting in Life's race: An equal start when sounds the trumpet, GOI And now, far better fitted for life's work, We gladly answer Duty's call to actg But we cannot forget the hidden fact, That in our pleasure, pangs deep-biting lurk: Pangs of regret, that things we did enjoy Are now but memories of the bygone days, Which come to us in myriad different ways, Transfusing happiness with base alloy. With mingled pain and gladness in our hearts We resolutely wait the coming chance To make our faithful efforts help enhance The good old World, by taking useful parts. So now, with hopes for fame and honors high, We render thanks for things we owe to you O Alma Mater true, and bid adieu: Old School, we're proud of you! -ROBERT EARLE EDMISTON.

The requirements are high, so high in fact, that only a few fulfill them. At least, eighteen grades must be A's, and of the rest, only three may be C's. Vera Jones and John Rader have the distinction of making the highest grades during the four years. We feel justly proud of our ten honor students. :ffll 1 9 2 3 Page forty-six l E T PURPLE AND WHITE S 1 E l 2 .loo llzmce .............. THE STAFF Hurry Beal ......

M 'nn Student Lqfe It ls difficult to paint a. vivid picture of student life in high school, for it is not as varied as the student life of a college. Nevertheless, the high school has its clubs and societies that are opent to all students. These include liter- ary, scientific, musical, Hi-Y, and Y-W organizations. As can readily be seen, the scope of these societies should be large enough to include all students, but only a comparatively few take an active part. The student life of almost all schools and colleges is carried on by a. cer- tain few. This is a. matter of great regret. Students should take greater in- terest in school activities, for this is a. part of education as well as the class- room work. Thls lack of interest is probably a fault of human society that cannot easily be remedied, but we can strive for perfection. So now, dear reader, we present to you the student life of P. H. S. as interpreted by our clubs and organizations, and may these few pages recall many happy days in High School. The Student Loan Funa' When last year's class left this school, they left behind them something, which in itself, is a gift lmmemorial. It is a matter of no small consequence that young men and' women are deprived of the right of an education by the lack of sufficient support. With this thought in view, the Class of 1922 established the Student Loan Fund, which approximates 5350. The fund is governed by a constitution which provides for loans of a two year duration. At the end of that time, they are renewed. Not over S200 ls loaned to one student: this gives every deserving student an equal opportunity. This movement was fostered by the class officers and those who were prominent in school life, after they had ad- vised wlth Mr. Bender and Mr. Hutchinson. As yet this fund has not been used. This is due partly to the difficulty of fi.nding those students in need: and then, such a fund is something new in school. However, this does not lessen its importance, for such a fund is a gift at the altar of citizenship. It is the hope of last year's class that each grad- uating class will contribute to this fund, helping to give to every boy and girl the education which is the heritage of every American.

X In the first semester a collection was made of sixty of the leading news- papers of today together with foreign and small town papers, ln order to study the various types. Afterwards a two thousand word thesis was written on them. In the last semester the history of journalism was studied, and a shorter thesis written on that subject.

Monday, the firat day cl the contest, the class was award- ed an extra one hundred 000i votes for selling the most an- nuala. Thereaxter each annual counts ten U03 votes toward placlng the Sheik. Today the friction ol inter- daas competition reached a height unequaled in all previous years. This is due la two things: firat, the determination ot each clue to win the place for its Shsikg second. the scramble of each individual to sava twenty- five cents on hia Purple and White during this lint week. An outsider, upon hearing of the campaign price of the 1923 Purple and White, astoundedly exclaimed: Whati ls one dollar all you charge for a book like mls? He could hardly conceive a H55 page high school annual selling for Sl or even 31.25.

This year, the idea of giving the boys a chance, instead of the girls, origin- ated ln the staff-so a Sheik Contest was decided upon. Of course lt was necessary that a Sheik be chosen from each class, but they were at a loss as to how to carry out the idea in a contest. The novel idea of a play, along the line of the contest, was struck upon, and work was started immediately upon what later proved to be one of the most thrilling dramas of modern times. Frank Hoffman, Lee Bournonville, Russell Seymour, and Bob Shoots, Sheiks of the Senior, Sophomore, Junior, and Freshman classes respectively, played leading parts in The Sheik's Triumph. It deals with a very modern topic, the discovery of the tomb of 'Futankhamen near Luxor, Egypt, by Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter, Egyptologists. This production was written in the form of a 4-act pantomine, and one act was given each day of the contest. During the one week, annuals sold like gold bricks. because of the enthuslsam of the campaign. Never before has the school seen the like and it is probable that it never will see such a campaign again. Each annual counted ten votes, and the Junior class re- ceived one hundred extra votes for selling the most on the initial day of the contest. The first two acts of The Shcik's Triumph are laid in London, England, with Parnarvon, Carter and Justin Time planning for an expedition into Egypt to search for the tomb. Lord Caldwell and Count Epsom attempt to disrupt their plans but fail. Meanwhile they start for Egypt as they had planned. With the third act, the caravan of Carnarvon's party draws near in search of the tomb of Tutankhamen. They wander for many days during which they search in vain for the treasure. They finally decide on a spot and pitch their tent, with the intention of starting work on the following day. The last act finds Caldwell and Epsom in search of the opposing party. Falling in the search, they depart. Carnarvon's party start work and soon discover the fabled treasure when Epsom and Caldwell return to ask the for- giveness of Carnarvon. This is granted and upon further search, the mummy of the Purple and White's first editor, Tutankhamen, is brought forth holding a Purple and White.

The purpose of the club is To create, maintain, and extend through- 5 out the school and community high standards of Christian Character. An- Q other purpose of the club this year has been to create a feeling of fellowship I among the boys of the high school. A budget was planned for this year which provided for the sending of four 5 boys to Camp Wood, five boys to the state conference at Manhattan, and five 5 boys to Parsons. The state conference, held at Manhattan, December 1, 2, 3, was attended by about twelve hundred from all over the state to which number Pittsburg contributed thirty-one, five being from Pittsburg Senior High. Cleo Bell was 5 elected president ot' the conference. 2 Last year the Inner Circle played an important part in the success of the Q club. When school started this year the same group of boys met the first day and have continued each day throughout the school year to meet in one corner 2 of the cafeteria from 8:00 o'clock until 8:30 0'clock before classes begin. 5 l E 1 5' QI' 1 9 2 3 mi1Y1l?ll Page sixty-nine ul ll n J I Y.

A successful party was given March 17, for the colored Hi-Y. Success to the colored girls.

However, two short comedies were presented last fall, together with The Lamentable Tragedy of Julius Caesar, before the change was made. Under the new program the department is making rapid strides along the art of public speaking. This subject has been entered on the course of the Freshman and Sophomore year with the hope that it will attract a greater number of students. In this way material for a winning debate team may be picked. In addition public speaking gives that easy command of English, a quality to be desired by everyone. It is indeed a privilege to have such a depart- ment in school, for in former years special societies had to be organized for such activities. DEBATE The team this year had a streak of hard luck due to a misunder- standing of the subject. The one chosen was the City Manager Plan. Pittsburg's silver tongued orators bade fair to defeat their opponents even though the subject was a wrong one. But the judges disagreed, and they lost. We can be conciliated, however, when we think of past victories and also of victories to come. With the creation of the public speaking depart- ment, winning debate teams will be a regular occurrence, but let us not slight those who have labored for us in the past. They have set a mark worthy of emulation. Page seventy three PURPLE AND WHITE If I is W if yzlllxg fr f WW, f f ,V 4, M-,--n ,.I,.

With only eighteen pieces, second place was taken the same year it was organized. ln 1922 the orchestra won second place in Class B at the Interstate Music Contest. This year the orchestra is composed of sixty pieces. It entered Class A. Great work is expected of this organization in the future, as it will probably take the form of a symphony orchestra.. ':Uocal Jlflusic Girls' Glee Club During the first semester this group had forty-seven members, and from these, twenty-eight were selected for the contest group in the second semester. The outstanding feature of the club has been its community service program. It has tried to furnish music for every demand that was made for its services. These demands became so numerous that two quartettes were organized from the club members, one known as the Ela,re Quartette and the other as the Midgets The Glee Club and these two quartettes fur- nished music for twenty-six programs during the first semester. This speaks well for the quality of work the club has done. Boys' Glee Club. This is practically a new club, very few of the boys having had any experience in Glee Club work, but their public performances were unusual. With the assistance of the girls, they formed a mixed chorus which pre- sented the Cantata, The Light Eternal, by Petrie, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and spoken of in very flattering terms. The two clubs will present the Mikado by Sullivan in May. Second Girls' Glee Club Thisuis the training ground for the first club. Probably no other group has made such progress as has this one. From the material in sight, it is fairly certain that Pittsburg will have a splendid Girls' Glee Club for years to come. Page seventy five nuuummum ff i , j 3 s 3 I, -..-, , , ,--... LT L. .. Page SBV6!lty-Bi! Page seventy-seven The Clubs TH ld DUM BELLS Do not be led astray by the name, for this club is one full of real pep. The boys in High School met early last fall to form a club whose primary purpose was to push athletics. They put on several pep chapels, and could always be seen with their purple and white caps and megaphones on the football field. A pep club of this sort is something new in Pittsburg High, but it has done wonders toward bringing out the spirit of the school. Let's hope that this club does not die out with the passing of this year, but will grow to be a cog in the wheel of progress in old P. H. S. Frank Thomas-Big Dumbell. Floyd Stewart-Little Dumbell. Eugene McDonald-Secretary and Treasurer. INDIAN CLUB This club was formed during the early part of the school year. This is the first organized girls' pep club, numbering its membership at 34. Their main object was to boost athletics. Purple and white tams, scarfs and megaphones were chosen by the members as their uniform. The club put on some very peppy chapels and were always there on snake dances. They boosted all football games and attended basketball games in a body. In all, it may be said that they gave the school what it needed-PEP. Officers: President-Nellie Stacy. Secretary and Treasurer-Lola Lance. Yell Leaders-Nadine Montee, Hettie Jent and Maurine Cherry. Sponsor-Miss L'Heureux. THE SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club has been a very active club in school for the past four years. Its object, as shown in its constitution, is to study and discuss af- fairs of scientific interest. Many interesting trips have been made this year. Perhaps the most interesting one was taken when they visited Dr. Smith's X-ray Laboratory. The club now has a real constitution and the enthusiasm of its members is growing fast. It is the fond hope of the members who are leaving this year that the club may be bigger and better next year and become a permanent institution in P. H. S.

Sponsor-Mr. Rice. THE RADIO CLUB The Radio Club of the Senior High School was organized because of an insistent demand on the part of several students who were interested in such an activity. It was soon apparent that there were two types of stu- dents present, namely: those who were interested in the construction and operation of radio apparatus, and those who cared only to listen to broad- casted programs. The active members participate in discussions at regular meetings, and at other times they contrast various arguments of radio look-ups. The possession of a good receiving set and a group of enthusiastic students to operate it assures us that P. H. S. will be keeping up with the march of events in the field of science as well as in other lines. The officers consist of Harold Bell, Presidentg Clifford Waterman, Vice- President, and Hettie Jent, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Hart is sponsor for the club. Page seventy nine Page eighty Z?

A tree with fruit unharvested, A path untrod, a house whose rooms Lack yet the heart's divine perfumesg A landscape whose wide border lies In silent shade 'neath silent skies: A wondrous fountain yet unsealed, A casket with its gifts concealedg This is a new year that for you waits Beyond tomorrow's mystic gates. Page eighty-nve 'v Class History It is writ on the pages of history that a class of slightly grown up infants entered P. H. S. in the fall of 1919. Oh, you say, that is nothing strange. Perhaps not, but this class to which I refer is the class of 1923! It took us nine months to live down the customary Freshman reputation, but vat last we won. Officers we had none-we didn't need them. During 1920 we ,dusted off the Sophomores' chairs, and Oh, what a dust there was, my countrymen! Now, we still did not feel the need of any class officers, but on gazing about us we saw that it was rather customary to go through the motions of electing a few. Hence, Homer Margrave, Nellie Stacy, Helen Jones, and Eugene Mc-Donald were prevailed upon to shoulder the re- sponsibility of guiding our erudite multitude. They survived the year, but on leading us over to the Junior chair , they collapsed. Then it was necessary to select other leaders. The stars pointed to Percy McCall, Thelma Barnes, Nellie Ross, and Lola Lance. Consequently, they entered upon their labors. 'Twas fashionable, we also learned, to have a class color. Not wishing to be without the realm of fashion, we selected green and giold--the girls selecting the first, the boys the second. The sweet pea was honored by being selected as our class flower. To prove to the skeptical world that we were histrionically great, We staged a play, Phil's Come Home. To .please our hloncred upper classmen, we ban- queted them from the proceeds of this play on the twelfth of May. Did they eat? They did! , We then adorned the Senior seats, and oh, how we adorned them. Watts Caffey has presided at our class steering wheel during this, our last year. John Davis has supported him, Nellie Ross has pushed the class pencil, and Madeline Rothrock has carried the class pocket-book. Our color scheme for this year is brown and gold. We have been represented on the gridiron and basketball court for four long years. Especially have our athletes been nloticeable during the past year. Our influence has been the guiding star of the entire school this year. VVe have successfully published The Booster, we have edited absolutely the best yet Purple and Vlfhite, and we ,have made the Indian Club and the Dumbells what they are today. Come Out of the Kitchen was selected as our theatrical endeavor for this year. Our superior intellect won us many a place upon the school honor roll. We have assisted the Glee Clubs to Warble and the orchestra to thump. We are the largest class to be graduated-this year! Now, dear reader, you have read how important we have been in the past four years of .high school history. Next year we shall be gone. I leave it to your imagination to determine how P. H. S. will struggle through the succeeding years. I HELEN BARRETT. Page eighty-six I Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1923 Know All Men By These Presents: ' That for and in consideration of the Good Gifts bestowed upon us by the Pittsburg Senior High School, and being desi:-ou of showing our appreciation, by these presents we do glve, grant, convey and conflrm unto the said High Sch-ool, its heirs and assigns, all our rights, tltles and interests in the Obligations, Re- sponsibilities, Knowledge, and Happiness afforded by said school, during 1923 and 1924, and thereafter, as follows: To De Bernardi, the Second, who, of course, is Lynne Monroe, Frank Hoff- man's basketball ability. To Raymond Wiley, Harry Beal's good looks. To Lillian Uhles, so that she may not vanish from the earth, Lillian Long's solidlty. To Cliffine Davis, the heir apparent to the Senior Y. WV. presidency, Ruth Peiffer's Y. W. leadership. To John Masovero, who needs lt, Hettle Jent's sense of humor. To the flunkers and near flunkers of the lower classes, the scholarship of the students of high rank in the Senior class. To the Junior class officers, the wisdom of the Senior Class officers. To the Freshmen, who now occupy the center section of the great auditori- um, we wish to leave our good common sense. Please accept it with our best wishes, because you certainly will need it. To the Sophomores we wish to bequeath our pep. You have been in high school two years, but lin any contest you have always taken the booby prlze. Take our pep and use it to the best advantage. - Juniors: We cannot tell you how to carry your class responsibilities. -You think that you know too much to accept our advice. But we can leave one thought. It is this: always cooperate with your teachers, as the Honorable Seniors have. Remember that the teachers are older and wiser and know best .how to advise you. Faculty: We wish to leave to you our most .sincere thanks for guiding us over the four most important years of our lives. We hope that your efforts have not been ln vain.

On a cold and frosty morning on a bleak November day When the much bedraggled student finds sleep sweetest in his hay, There's a sound like clashing weapons or a rapid firing gun, And he wakes with thoughts of anguish to another day begun. From his place beneath the covers he hears the foe subside, Then with quick determination throws the covers to one side. Twenty minutes after, and a class at nine o'clock, A cold and frosty morning and his overcoat in hock. He gobbles down some breakfast, the eggs were over-ripe, The coffee had a sickly hue, the steak would pass for tripe, But sleepers can't be choosers, he runs to meet his fate And hauls up -at the class room just twenty minutes late. And the face of friend professor takes on a dismal grin, He's found a dandy'victim and promptly jumps on him. What hordes of insane questions his fresh assault now brings On pumps and lines, co-logs and sines, on gyroscopes and kings. E A poor attempt at bluffing, the professors searching look: Ye gods, they must have thought him the author of the book! And then a bunch of questions he's never heard before- He calculates his chances of slipping through the door. A little nap in History this best sleep in a weekl. Dreams of home and mother and the girl across the street, A sudden rude awakening, they said it was after one- You can bet your bottom dollar this bunk keeps you on the run. I-Ie's glad that lunch is over With, and starts forlornly . back. The afternoon will be a grind with nothing fixed up crack. Then math. and English are terrors grave and grim, And then of course, there's Latin and worst of all there's gym. At last his day is over, he slowly hobbles home, Just makes his room and crumples up with one low feeble moan, Regards the walls with glassy eyes, starts numbering his days, Compares the fixture gas route with other painless ways. . But when he's on his downy couch, he feels a thrill of joy, At least today's all over with and he's a happy boy. But then his joy gives Way to grief, there swoops across his mwind Tomorrow's but today again, it's all the same old grind. Apologies to the Tech. Page eighty-eight FOREST NIGHT Give to me night, with its mysteries old, The scornful stars that glow so coldg The wail of the Wind on its forward sweep, Whispering softly of plots laid deep. A far-off timber wolf's mournful howl, The sad, weird call of the great grey owl, Are only a few of the many sounds With which at night the forest abounds. The dry leaves rustle as little furred paws Are treading softly to escape hungry jaws, For life feeds life as it always will, And those that survive are those that kill. So watching my campiire slowly die, While golden hours on swift wings fly, I'm filled with a sense of the Manitou's might, List'ning to the sounds of the forest night. -ROBERT EARLE EDMISTON.

Of the kinds of student that enter its d'oors each morning? They seem to divide themselves na- turally into four general divisions: the flunkersf' the pupils, the students, and the scholars. It is needless to define the work flunker. One of the flunkers himself, though. tells us that it comes from the Latin verb, flunko, whose principal parts are flunko, failure, facultl, fixus. This group may usually be detected by the bored expression upon their faces and their know it all air. They seem to re- gard school as ,a place to sleep, rest or enjoy themselves to the discomfort of others. Especially may this be noted ln the study-hall. They are, as a. rule. peace loving folks. and resent any interference on the part of the faculty in the way of make-up work and unexcused admits. A pupil, according to Mr. Webster ls anyone who attends school. Many of these pupils attend either because papa and mama. say so, or because they have no other place to go. Contrary to that of the- flunkers, the expressions on their faces are very eager and anxious ones, due to the fact perhaps that they h-ave not studied their lessons and are trying to make it appear that they are dust dying to recite. They usually take a few books home with them, and some- times do really study. Yet with all their faults we need them. School life would be very dull without their lively chatter and giggles, and the extra activities, which they bring with them. A student ls one 'who studies. In the class of students are those who are sometimes ranked as A, B, and C students. The members of this group are in- dustrious, helpful, and indispensable to their school. At the top 'of this class are found the honor students and the real leaders ln the school. They are not su- per-humans or bralnless-wonders as some imagine, but only natural human be- ings. At the bottom of this class are the majority of the students in high school. Here is found the student of average intelligence and initiative. Last, but certainly not least, are the learned people or scholars. Webster also defines them as authorities in ome .particular line of study, or those versed in one or mlore branches of knowledge. The members of this group are known as the faculty or teachers. most of whom are really students of the art of ln- jectlng some of their own knowledge into the youthful brains. Once ln a while we find a student who bids fair to become a schfolar soon. Little can be said about this group because there are so few in lt. But .let me say in closing that the service rendered to the school by this group is not fully appreclatd. VERA JONES.

Page ninety-one BITS OF WISDOM Telling what you don't know is what takes up so much of your time. BOTHE M1 ments that come from overwork are not contagious. To get something better you have to kick custom and tradition out of the way. You are not wise until you esteem criti- cisms more highly than you do compli- ment . FARNER S The way to know is to do. What a wonderful thing Common Sense CONNETT is when you allow it to work. Pleasure breaks down your health, while happiness builds it up. G BLE - A No one pays any attention to you until HUTCHMAN you do something the others don't. Love depends upon several things, but FINLEY the only one that amounts to much is faith. The man who carries a dinner pail is usually better pay than the man who car- C0LLINS ries a. wrist watch. Failures are easier to understand fthan RADELL successes. Most things that are ethical are contrary to human nature No one knows how to work the keyhole and transom so well as the prude. Angernever teaches any one.

The reason for said look is that it is the first banquet that the poor Juniors had the privilege of attending, and they were so bewildered that they forgot all they ever knew concerning looking wise. You see it was like this: The photographer slipped in to take a flashlight picture of the Junior-Senior banquet and the afore-mentioned Juniors could not restrain their curiosity enough to keep from looking around and so the photographer caught them with their usual silly look upon their faces. In truth, however, the banquet was said, by those who have attended others, to be one of the best. The addresses of the banquet were based on the Juniors' class motto: VVe must sail, not drift, nor lie at anchor. Charles Wager presided as toastrnaster.

Come in and let us tell you of our payment plan. THE RAY RYA ELECTRIC CO. THERE'S A REASON 1. Always be late to school. This disturbs the monotony of the day and gives you a feeling of importance when you walk into class and everyone looks at you. 2. Always be late to classes. Because this takes time away from your lessons. It is also detrimental to your health to hurry up and down stairs and the re is a possibility of your tripping' on the steps, falling on your head and rendering it useless for further usage. 3. Always argue with your teachers and thwart them constantly. 'l'hat's what they are here for and, besides. you wan-t to impress upon them that you know more than you do. 4. Never report to the office. You can always find something else to do, and it helps you to carry out your agreement. 5. Always throw chalk and waste paper upon the floor 'l'he Janitors have nothing much to do and we want to keep them busy. The teacher in charge of the room will always take time to tell you how careless you are. and this is so interesting. 6. Never pass an examination. It helps to keep the teachers busy and we have nothing to do but go to school the rest ot' our lives. 7. Always carry away all athletic clothing and other articles that belong to the school. It shows that you have an eye for business and shows Mr. Hutchinson you have an interest in the school. 8. Always cuss the Annual. It needs it. the staff expect it, and it would be a pity to disappoint them. Be- sides you would not want to break a school tradition. g A N R e fin Chemistryb- In this formula, what does NR mean '?
