Qi TO THE CLASS OF 1914. As school life's receding sunset fadesg And its night descends, For you I watch the gathering shade Life's duties will stealthly invade, When school life ends. I,ife's world is drawing close to thee, With every breath. Q Life's joys untold: no respite knows Yet will thou shrink from the world's grim grasp, With fear of death. The curtain falls on school's last scene, The end is near, And as you face life's somber screen May the fleeting school days as they intervene Not disappear. And as a panoramic scroll The past unreels, The laughing past, beyond control Well written as a parchment roll It's tale reveals. You stand before the great wide world, A solemn fact, These days, the seeds of efforts sown Your school years now fully grown Will not retract. No tears, no joys can erase the past, School is finished nowg And all that's done is welded fast, Through all eternity to last As school time joy. And as 1 think the matter o'er, Not pensive or sad, There are no short comings I deplore, The fruit, which your school life has bore Is not so bad. What e'er life holds for thee in store, May you calmly face, And as the knights in days of yore Faults and imperfections did abhore, You, truth embrace. Oh! Class of nineteen one and four, No fear for thee I hold, Life's battles thou wilt enter in Just as thou didst school life begin, Fine, happy and bold, But what of the school that cradled thee, Remember it long with thy praise, Remember its sorrows, griefs and joys, As it will remember its girls and boys And cherish your High School days. -SUPT. H. J. BROWN. SENIOR CLASS PROPH ESY. During the Summer of 1990 while spending my vacation in traveling through Italy, the good fortune of visiting the world's most famous art museum which was situated at Venice, fell to my lot. After registering, etc., a guide di- rected me through the entire building, giving me a brief history of each and every object there. Completing our general inspection of the main room, my guide turned to me and said: I have one more room to 'show you, in which we keep the statutes of a few of the most famous people the world has ever known. No doubt you have heard of the seventeen young Amer- icans who graduated from the P. H. S. in the year 1914, all of whom became famous in a few short years. Beyond these doors are their statutes. Let us enterf' As -we entered the room a feeling of awe stole over me to think that such a humble person as I would be permitted to gaze upon the features of such won- derful personages. Then I became aware that the guide was speaking. This, said he, is the statute of Le- nora McClay. Her predominant char- acteristics while at school were her win- someness and modesty. These two traits clung to her through life with a tenacious grip, but above all was her ability, as a musician, to win the honor and applause of the world at large. One night, when before a great audience she sang and played that touching little bal- lad, Roy's Wife of Adelwallah, I Long to Re, that night her name was placed on the list of the world's famous peo- ple. My guide was already striding to the next statute and hard as it was to tear myself away, I knew I must and with one lingering look, I too walked on. Here we have, explained the guide, the model of him, who though a con- stant tease and mischief, yet with these characteristics he has all the others, which go to make up a thorough gentle- man. As an all around man, no one in all the ages can compare to him: a violin- ist of rare talent, a bright studentg a splendid actor: the star right end of the 1913 football squad: a heart breaker among the girls, and a business man, all combined in the one whom the world over is known as George Spell- man. The next figure was that of Fannie Frisbie and the following sketch was given by the guide to me. More famous by far Than a clown with his joke, ls the girl who can make biscuits Over which you don't choke. She was the teacher of the Domestic Science Class of the Smith school ever since she left P. H. S. in '14 and the lit- tle sketch as quoted above is a brief summary upon which her fame rests. Before a beautiful molded figure we at length stoppedg my guide in a voice of awe then spoke the following to ine: The image of her, who though not a citizen of Plainville, yet attained to fame's rank is now before you. She was a perfect Latin dictionary, never was she known to go to a Vergil class with- out lier lesson, Providence for this rea- son alone marked her as famous, but that which placed her still nearer the top round of the ladder 01' Fame was her ability as an actress. Her name even surpassed that of Sarah Bernhardt, who for years held first place in the lists of actresses. You ask me if Eula Tucker was single? Foolish question! for even in her last year at P. H. S. she had a Groom. But there are many more statues equally as famous so let's hasten on. This is Ethelyn Weaverlingf' the guide informed me as I stood gazing at a beautiful figure, 'Ashe who by her bash- ful meditative manner won the respect and admiration of all her schoolmates, just as she won the love of the public. And most wonderful of all nature's freaks, was the fact that this lady taught school all the days of her lifeg refused to support a husband, and above all re- tained her good looks even until old maidismfl fThink you not that she de- serves her place?J f'The next figure is of one who has won the applause of thousands through that magnetic thing known as voice. Edna Benedict, after finishing her work at P. H. S. decided that her life could best be given to aid suffering humanity, through her voice. She was accepted as a Reeder by the Lyceum Lecture Bureau, and the first reading she gave, which was before an audience of ten thousand was entitled, When I was Single. And from that day to this no name has ranked higher in the castle of fame than the little girl's whom the P. H. S. stud- ents knew as Ted, But my guide is fairly pulling me along so I must leave that image and view the others. That is the statute of Mildred Mar- tin, he said, fthe greatest vocalist known for ages. Have you never heard of the famous Miss Martin, who sa.g a SOUE, which all the way through was three notes higher than any other living creature was ever known to sing? And, will you believe me when I tell you, her voice never broke at all? Not only was 'she a songster, but she was a poetess as well. From her lips limericks flo-wed like Wine. F But time is fleeting and I still have several other images to View so must move onward. Behold! Before you the figure of that immortal fellow being, Marcus Dale Rey- nolds. He was born sometime in A. D. and left this world about ninety-tive years after he came into it. Although his time was very limited upon this earth, he made the few years he spent here very fruitful ones. Was ever another man known who had a tenor voice that could compare with Dale's? Who in the United States, England, Africa, Asia or all the continents combined could come within a mile of Dale as a cornetist? Could anyone ever so successfully im- personate the character of father, son, lover or .negro servant in any play as Dale? Like unto Socrates of old we must say, Noi No! and yet again No! But if these things are not enough to make him famous I will tell one more of his achievements which will absolutely do away with all doubt. Dale Reynolds was the 'Editor-in-Chief of the Sun- flower of 191-L Almost before the guide ceased speak- ing he had advanced to the next person- age. In this statute, he said, 'tyon will find embodied all that is noble, pure and holiest in the character of Lorene Fer- rier. She has won distinction by being the greatest horticulturist since the days of Arlarn and Eve. Her favorite flower was The Sweet William, and I dare tell you the guide whispered, that this flower received more care from her than all the remainder of the blossoms put together, This, said the guide, 'tis Stella Fike. Because of the very simplicity of her na- ture did she for one thing become fam- ous. Her's was the free open life of a country lass. Often when people were raving about the mountains, lakes and water falls of the foreign lands she would look up shyly and say, They must be beautiful, but you want until you see the Meads of Kansas and then you may rave about the beauty. My friend, do you ever remember hearing of the girl who spent a whole half year teaching a rural school, before she threw up her job and accepted a po- sition of chief cook and bottle washer of a prominent man known the world over for his aversion to the female sex? asked the guide. But, he continued, who can blame l1im for succumbing to the charms of such an extra ordinary in- dividual as Florence Brison proved to be. liut we must hurry on and so we leave the eleventh famous member of the Four- teen Class to her peace. Was ever man known to bear such a heroic title as the image that stands here? inquired the guide as he intro- duced to me the character of Lee XVo0ds. ln his High School days he was known as 'Stubb and this name con- tinued to cling to him through life. He was ever kind and considerate of the welfare of others. Whenever any one found themselves in trouble, it was al- ways the genius Stubbl' who smoothed away the difficulties. His later life was spent among the gold fields of Cal- ifornia and among the things he amassed while there, were a wife, a fortune and a home. The fact that he was business manager of the 1914 Annual brought him wonderful renown. The thirteenth member of this class of Fame was Guy Oliver Ordway. Guy was famous before he had left the cradle, because no child had ever had such a remarkable pair of lungs be- fore. It is said that his great oratorical ability was imparted to him from his father when Guy would keep him pacing the floor to the tune of a wild, weird cry. Perhaps, too, fit is not known for certainl, he learned a few of the fancy steps, which won such great honor and applause in later years from carefully watching the grotesque steps of his dear cld dad as he frantically trod on tacks, overturned chairs and stubbed his toes on the bed posts in the vain attempt to stifle the cries of his first born. And Ye Gods, how that lad could play football. Never did the ball get past him and never was there a fellow too big for him to tackle. Always and ever the name of Guy Ord- way will head the list of the Gridiron heroes. Enough of Guy, however, said the guide, for there are still a few more members of the class. As we passed before the image of a fair-faced lass, the guide turned to me and said, This is Sylvia Brown, the most successful primary teacher the 'world has ever known. She daily directed the lives of hundreds of little individuals who invariably modeled their lives after hers. Not only at school but in church as well we find Sylvia performing some good and great deed. But it is nearly sundown so we must hasten. 'Lester Norris, the guide in- formed me, Uwas the man who spent nine whole months as a member of the Normal Training Class. A kind Fate gave to this lad a most unique way of Reading. In reading a selection, so great was his power and ability, that one instant he could bring tears to the hardest-hearted of men, and in the next his audience would be in a perfect hysteria of laugh- ter. But greater still than his oratorical ability was his power of getting along with the girls. He it was who always brought the hayracks when the Seniors desired to go riding. He would bear bravely the displeasure of loving teach- ers in order to make some little girl happy waltzing with her. But we must bid Lester adieu and view the statues of the last two members of this illustrious class, said the guide. The one Earl Richardson was the mathematical hero of the world. In Arithmetic Earl was a perfect encyclo- pedia. Never did he miss a question. It was his love letters however, which brought him fame. After his death a. packet of love letters was found among his possessions and by the publishing of these, his name won renown. As the last rays of the setting sun fil- tered into the room, we gazed upon the last of the '14 class. It was the face of Mildred Baumgartner. She, said the guide, t'won her fame because she Was the only American who never excelled in something or other. Because she was a genuine freak, her fame was estab- lished. As I gazed at this roomful of people who had thus won renown my heart swelled with joy to think that I, too belonged to that grand and noble country which could raise such men and women, and I left the room, my heart throbbing with pride and joy. -M.

Say! but it seems good to see some one from P. H. S. Not long to Stay, did you say? Do you think for a minute that I will let you go and miss this chance to have a visit about our High School days? An- other new building! How times do change! .And we thought ours the best ever. Didn't it seem a relief to get out of that old building with its records written on the walls, and its cracks that let in those cold north winds? Had to go to school in it awhile to appreciate the new attrac- tive brick across the way. We were the second class to grad- uate in the new building and that's some distinction: especially when it's added to such an illustrious class as ours. Ch, yes! I knew you'd say yours was better. Maybe you think we didn't heave a high of relief 'when the message finally came that we wouldn't have to give orations. I'm sure we had a secret wish that 'fthe powers that be would also grant us state certificates without that awful tc-rt'1re of state examinations. But we pulled through that even though we didn't look like much of anything when we finished. However. we re- cviperated and I heard some people say we were the best looking class that ever sat on the platform. Come to think of it, I believe it was someone in our own class who said it. We did some secret shaking when Mr. Brown said that the admission to a part in the Senior play was a group of good looking grades. Funnv, isn't it? VVe all wanted good grades. Hut really it isn't a bit of fun to work for them. However. that tempting Senior play and a State Certificate held out before us had the desired effect and we patiently plodded ahead. Had our play and it was a good one. too. Some hidden talent was revealed that surprised us-even us. In one thing our class had no rival l'm certain. That was in the number of class meetings. We could scarcely have recitations because of class meetings. We were always planning parties which somehow we never had. We did have one at commencement. but the Juniors planned that for us- pretty good friends after all-those Juniors. The way they worked at commencement time for our pleasure was a credit to any class. t'So Lettie is a nurse? NVell! She certainly had patience enough to be one. Hut didn't she surprise us the way she scolded her husband in the Senior play! Stephen took it very meekly too. Hope his real wife doesn't give him quite such a dose of it. You say Myrtle Harris is interest- ed in mines? Copper ones? Of crurse, I remember she had a special liking for copper in High School. And Wu saw Posie. They say he's mak- ing a great success of his school work. No wonder he knows how to watch High School youngster's tricks. There we1'en't many he didn't know. Say I met Lewis down in the Eastern part of the state. He's doing some engineering work there. Didn't he shark in Physics his last year though? Of course you saw Cecil. Quite a housewife, is she? I'll warrant she hasn't lost that mischievous little twinkle in her eye, even if she does manage a home of her own. I don't see how she ever lives without Wini- fred. She went to live somewhere in the East, didn't she? Thomas Powell has done mighty well. Just what we expected of him. Don't know just where he is, but he's teaching in a university some-where. And let me tell vou! Deacon Myers is leading one of the best bands in the state. Good hearted old chap, wasn't he? And there's Edgar Case-he just started right into good solid work when he finished school. Owns a large grocery store, but still he is the same old Edgar. Forgot to tell you about our other school teacher. Roy Eads is still wielding the rod some- where in Iowa. That's right. Hadn't thought to ask you about Grace Lynch. Out VVest on a ranch is she? Well! VVell! How time does fly! Really. must you go on that next train? I'1n mighty sorry but say! Any time you make this town again stop in for another visit. It cheers a fellow up to see some on from home. TAWQQ spgcrmm sears?

We poor Juniors are the most de- spised and tortured people in the en- tire P. H. S. The 'tFreshies say we have the Big Head, the 'tSeniors say we're Simple, and even the teachers always blame us for every lit- tle disturbance, however slight it may be, liut then Satan aims at the bright- est marks, and it is the famous privi- lege and fortune to have among their ranks the intellectual Stars of the Plainville H. S. The leader of our most brilliant men is Pay Grooms, who has so gallantly carried the honors of the class through a siege of three long hard years, who has so bravely fought his battles, and so nobly Won his victor- ies that the Class of 1915 considers it a joy and honor to list their honored man at San Francisco as one of the Worlds Wonders. As well as the wisest man we claim the Funniest lloy in Town. Murl Kinney, it you are not acquainted with this lad, just drop the first name. prefix a capital S to the last and you have Skinny You surely know him now. lt is a great ques- tion v'i'h everyone, VVhat makes Murl so popular. Some say it is candy, some say his beauty, others say it is because he is so full of fun, but whatever his charm, it is very evident that Murl was meant to be a social leader wherever he went. When providence was so kind in showering upon the Juniors such a conglomeration of talent, traits and singularities, she accidentally dropped a little chap embodying them all, thus Bumn1ie, who is Short and Cute, and has a CAR to boot. Concerning the fairer sex, there is one tiny girl who is a t'Daisy, and never a day goes by that she does not bring a bit of sunshine to her schoolmates. Louis is an affectionate, dainty, modest little miss. When Frank left, she wouldn't even let him throw a ---l When shy Cozetta asks for break- fast food, funny, how she always asks for Kellog's, but then that's O. K. Although Ray is wise he is not so Wise as Myrtle, who always was Wise and what's more always will be. The Heavy Weight of our class is known as Clyde Frankenfield. Sometimes he feels Blue, thinking Nobody loves a Fat Man, but one of the Seniors knows a good thing when she sees it, and takes as her motto, 'tGet a plenty While You're a Gettin. But best of all he loves his Teddy Hair for it's a Daisy. Directly in front of me sits a young man, kind, good, noble and true, Earl, there never was a boy like you. Some love to scamper down the lane Some love to trip through the vale Some love to roam the forest o'er liut Zillah loves the Dale. Across the aisle sits quiet little Stella. demure and prim, softly hum- ming, Just Someone. When school is dismissed she chatters, chatters as she goes, then is she quiet? Never. And men they come and men they go, but she goes on forever. Sweet Helen so shy and timid May your future be fair and sublime, May your gentle way be ever so And your love be always mine. The latest recipe in the Domestic Science Department is Rice De La Lemon, Directions: Take a large soft lemon, add a small amount of rice, place both in a large touring car, tif not convenient a buggy will dow roll up and down the lane an hour or two. Add a halt moon, if cloudy fa new moon will answer as welll, just before freezing add a few dates, stir frequently until well frozen. This makes a delightful dish. Blessings on thee little man, Orville boy with cheeks of tan, With thy red lips, redder still, Kissed by Green Gagers on the hill. 'Tis Anna whose smile is like the benedictions of flowers: whose ways would grace a palace, while A foot more light, a step more true, ne'er from the Heath flower dashed the dew. The world is full of jolly people. We must have a few level heads so Marguerite or rather Pud studies hard, thinks quietly and talks gently IP. S. at times, of coursel. As lilies speak of purity and noble- ness, so. our Lilly seeks refinement rather than fashion, awaits occasions, never hurries and usually sits by the open windowg her mind drifting along on the tide of oblivion, while she lis- tens vaguely to the hum of voices around her, hearing only the sigh of the breeze. Roy McPhail, otherwise known as Mac, is a very . t...little ,.l, boy, sitting in the ninth seat of the eighth ml. 4,7 , V 5. fx sf' b 3. N. J V: if wi ff? f y i n + fx SE Xxswh if 'H' I i .., q,: i row, near the Seniors, always raising some fuss, making dates and getting stung, At morn' and noon he cries, Someone play, Guy and lwant to dance. At night he cries, Look Out, Blanche is coming, now 'hike,' kids, we're going to sing. Last but by no means least, I have the pleasure of presenting the most popular girl in P. H. S., Millie Brat- ton. Her noblest trait is her kind regard for her meek and bashtul fel- lowmen, although most of her time is devoted to the Meeker man. In conclusion, I will say in behalf of the class of l9l5, please overlook our mistakes and foolish pranks for we are boys and girls but once and our two prevailing characteristics are our vivid imagination, and our keen sense of humor: mine are both nearly exhausted so l will kindly bid you Adieu. When the Write Ups and Themes are all ended, Nnd the Annual forever is done, Of all the happy people on earth l'll he the happiest one. -M. L. C. aff 4 2 e D M0 D ES To Pvof.

Although we lack in quantity we are- not excelled in quality. Many of us have already chosen great professions, and, in later years, when our names are famous, just remember that we told you so. Carolyn, our class president, is a great favorite among us and always advises us to use Watson, Durand and Kasper groceries. Ruby is going to Berlin as soon as she graduates. Cecil is everlastingly flirting with the girls. ln later years, Orin will be found teaching Latin in P. H. S. Vera is very fond of the little ditty entitled When Johnny Comes Marching Horne. Bertha may be found after her graduation, the happy teacher of a quiet little dis- trict school. tiliarles, while going about his work, may be heard Whistling, t'I'll Make a Ring Around Rosie. Rosa, in truth, is as shy and modest as a rose by the roadside. Daisy is passionately fond of Twin Mound and its surroundings. Clarence intends to become a lawyer and at such an early age is pleading a case with a little brown-eyed Fischer lass. Mamie is making a specialty of Domestic Science with the intention of running a short order house after graduating from P. H. S. Fred is our little hoy and is at the height of his glory when walking to school with the Senior President. licrnatha is a very industrious student and intends to become a teacher before many years pass away. Viola's ambition is to take a trip through France as she is passionately fond of French-Cyl. Versa intends to have a half interest in a certain clothing store of Plainville be- fore many years elapse. Wilbur enjoys his frequent trips to Stockton ,and it is said that he has a stand in With a certain Marshall of that city. A '19 f- L6 Y -. E ' fi ' ..,. . mm,. ' . . ,VL s Lg f ff Q -ww Q x. Size?

The equipf ment for this Work cost about S325 and consists of eight work tables with drawers and cupboard in each, eight two-burner coal oil stoves, one large Majestic range for baking, three sinks and a large cupboard for supplies. Two girls work at each table. The cupboard and drawers of the table contain the necessary dishes and cooking utensils for work. The window shades and sash curtains were purchased by the class with the pro- ceeds of the Christmas Food Sale and Exhibit given December 23, 19113. At this sale, nut and fruit cakes, doughnuts, cookies, nut bread, candies of different kinds as fudge, tafiy and cream were displayed showing the work of the class, then were sold realizing I1 profit of 39.46. The girls are required to wear white aprons with hand towel and holder attached by tape. Each girl has a note book in which she keeps the outlines and recipes given. Two lessons per week consist of the theory and Domestic Science. ln these lessons outlined and discussions are given relating to underlying principles and values of different foods. Three laboratory lessons are given per week. In these the girls are taught the preparation and serving of food. It is the aim to make these lessons as practical as possible. The average cost of each lesson per girl is from 3Mgc to 4c, allowing 4c to be the cost, that would be 12c per weekg 48c per month and for 9 months 54.32, for the class per year 56912. March 13, 1914, the class served a hot, noon lunch to the students and friends of the school. The following menu was served for 15 cents. MENU. Boston llaked Beans Dill Pickles .lleat Loaf or Deviled Eggs Escalloped Potatoes lluns ButterACoffee Cream-Sugar Chocolate Pie About one hundred thirty lunches were served and a profit of about five cents was made on each. The mission of the ideal woman is to make the whole world beautifulj, says Francis Willard. So it is the aim in placing Domestic Science in the schools, to cor- relate the practical with the mental, to help the girls become more womanly Women, and to create' more interest in the home and home duties.

With the beginning of school, the anticipation of the coming football season comes to the mind of every high school boy who is big enough to play and to some who are not. The P. H. S. boys are no exception, when the season opened they gathered together and organized a team. George Spellman was chosen manager and Roy M0- Phail, captain. Both of these boys were members of last year's squad, the former as right end and the latter as sub-quarter back. So it was under the leadership of these young men that P. H. S. team started the season of 1913. To impart the correct method of playing the great game of football, the boys secured the services of Shorty Sawyer, the best little coach in Kansas. He is an ex--P. l-I. S. football man, and although he had but lately joined the ranks of the Bene- dictsj' Shorty devoted a great deal of time to the interest of the team. The first game scheduled was with the Codell town team, to be played on the P. H. S. gridiron, October 10. The new men worked almost as hard as the older ones because the tirst game is looked upon by the new men as the Rise or Downfall of great men. When the day came the P. H. S. boys were garbed in all kinds of rags called football togs but it is not the clothes but the Man ln the Clothes who does the playing, as was later demonstrated to the Codell huskies. The Codell bunch were not in it at all, the speed of the P. H. S. boys was too much for them and the result was that Spellman crossed their goal line twice and kicked one goal f1'0IU t011Ch down. Codell was unable to score and the game was finished 13 to 0. What a grand start! Luray High School was scheduled to play P. H. S. next, but it was hardly a high school bunch that showed up in Plainville October 18. But even the bunch of ringers that appeared were not a match for our boys. The game was regular run away, the final being 64 to 0. In this game Ordway made three touchdownsg Grooms, three, Norris, twog and Spellman, two. After two games at home, it was about time that the boys were playing a ga-me away from home so the next game was played at Lucas. Although this was the first time that some of the boys were so far away from home, they were undaunted and a battle royal was the great event on the afternoon of October 25. On account of a Hcharley horse Ordway was not allowed to play during the first quarter, but at the beginning of the second he was sent into the game. New spirit arose among the P. H. S. boys although the first quarter had passed without scoring, only five min- utes of the second had gone until Spellman had carried the ball over the Lucas goal line. Again in the third quarter the P. H. S. boys scored Spellman again carrying the ball. The Lucas bunch were unable to approach the goal line of our boys and the game ended 13 to 0. Again P. H. S. wins. Such a clean up' caused the neighboring schools to become leery of P. H. S., Stockton and Hays both acknowledging that they were afraid to meet P. H. S. on the gridiron. For this reason no other game was played until November 14. And about this time the boys bought those horrid jerseys, why they looked as if they had just escaped from the pen, On the 14th P. H. S. again met the Codell town team but this time they met de- feat. The score was 13 to 0 in favor of Codell. Woods and Buchheister substituted for Richardson and Spellman. The next game was the last game of the season, it was with the Osborn High School on the P. H. S. Gridiron on Thanksgiving Day. The O. H. S. boys claimed that they were bringing their fastest bunch here, while the heavier boys played at Smith Center. Ilut their fastest bunch wasn't in it with P. H. S. and it is generally thought that O. H. S. had no bunch that could even make it interesting for P. H. S. Why that game wasn't a good practice game. Our boys went into the game to do their best and do it they did. ln three minutes, after the signal was given to play ball, Spellman twice crossed the O. H. S. goal line, and then the fun began. When the game ended McPhail had made two touch downs, Ordway, two, Grooms, one, Richardson, oneg Spellman, three, Aulbach, one, Couture, one, and the score was 75 to 0. And so ended the season of 1913 in P. H. S. P. H. S. had scored 165 points to their opponents' 13. If the reader of this Sunflower has not already tired of this football junk then he may find some interest in the following individual write up. Guy Ordway, Left Half, first year in football. He did the booting stunt for P. H. S. His playing showed up to the side line better than that of any other player, for he was the hardest playing man on the team. Ray Grooms, Fullback, third year in football, but the first behind the line. He Q , izgi 'V h I 'V 355 ' fax-Tm f 9 '1f?W,w: JZ , -gfgggai 'Y ,,. F ' U lzefff . N4 ik -5' lv!

Lester Norris, Right Half, new man in P. H. S., and a great aid to the backfield. He always made his share of the gains and was a good man at leading interference or breaking it. Roy Mcljhail, Quarter Hack and Captain. This was Mads first year as a regular. He was a good man to lead the team and he did it in a creditable manner. lt is eX- pected that he will be member of the P. H. S. eleven of 1914. Earl Richardson, Left End, new man this season, but he made good. He was an excellent man at end, having plenty of speed and getting down well under punts. Clyde Frankenfield, Left Tackle, another new man this season, also the heaviest man on the squad. He made a hole whenever it was needed and was a hard man to get through. Orvflle Kellogg, Left Guard. This was Orville's first year and he Worked hard for a place. He was a great aid to the left side of the line. XX il' ur Bright, Center. l-le was a member of last year's squad and he made good again this year. He was a safe man at center and a good one on the defence. Eugene Norris, Right Guard. Although he was a new man at the game, he rnade a very creditable showing. It is hoped that he will try for the team next year. George Aulbach, Right Tackle. As a taclfle he was, for he was always Johnnie on the spot. Next year he will be a valuable man on the P. H. S. eleven. George Spellman, Right End. t'Pete was our star end this year. He always made a touch down whenever it was necessary. Edward Couture, Sub End. He played in several flames and certainly made good in the Thanksgiving game. Wesley Grout, Guard. He played the first part of the season but on account of IVHYE-'IIIHI obiection he was forced to stop before the season ended. Earnest Buchheister, Sub End. He subbed in several games but the other fel- low was just a little bit too good for him to get on as regular. , Lee Woods Star Center and End, failed to get out to practice on account of work but Stubb played in three games. And so is the history of football in P. H. S. in 19133. PETE, 1914. ......1- THE HOPEFUL FATHER.

Western Kansas Champions ol' 1912, Plainville, Kansas. Dear Team:--While runiaging through an old trunk this morn- ing in search ol a lost pair of boxing gloves, 1 ran aCr0SS YOUT IHC- ture and as I read The Champions of Western Kansas on the pennant, I felt a slight tingling in the region of my heart. 'l sat down on the floor, there in the attic and thought over the different events of the whole seastn. enjoying it as much as if i'd seen a real game. I was actually picud of your individual and team work both, Fellows, and l think l never worked with a team which was better about listening to my suisestions and corrections. NVe had quite a time matching our first game, which was with Stockton, and I guess their professor and school board jangled about it the rest of the term. But after so much difficullty, they came and we certainly Wallopped them. l remember Damon made the first touch-down and then you boys began to play in earnest. lVlcClay got away With the ball when you pulled off that fluke'l and made a touch-down which tied the score. The people on the side lines just went crazy and the air was full of Red and White and Rah! Rah! for the team. At the very close of the second half Gross drop- kicked, which made the score T-IU. That was starting the season right and l thought you did mighty good work for only four practices. Our next game was with Codell at Codell, which was a dead walk-away as the score was 40-0 and no hard work at all. Codell came up here for a game the next month and they were even weaker than before. The final score was T9-0 and in the second half we pulled out several of the best men and played nearly all subs, We began looking, then, for something more interesting, so got Smith Center here for a game, Nov. Sth. They were sure a good bunch and played a good, clean game, but for all that we sent them home, as all the others, with their colors drag- ging in the dirt. Our last, most interesting and most exciting game was with Oberlin at Oberlin. VVe left here at 0 o'clock Thursday morning and, after so much digging out of mud holes and snow banks, we finally arrived in Oberlin at 8:30 p. in. of the same day, somewhat tired and tagged out. The game was called at 2:30 the next afternoon and you were all on the field early with due amount of ginger and pep The crowd seemed to be made up of the good bunch and were even kind enough to give us a few yells, as we were unable to take our rooting bunch along. Hut as the game progressed and they saw the Oberlin team begin to lag, they close of the '4 ffik I Q i W changed their attitude entirely and became quite sarcastic. And at the game, when the score stood 7-2, they were even bitter, so We decided We'd better hunt shelter or be inobbed before supper. We turned in quite earlly that night in order to make an early morning start for home. livery one was on deck at 4:30 a. m. i. e., most every one. Some of the fel- lows were unfortunate enough to have part of their habiliments stolen, while they were sleeping peacefully, but we managed to rig them up so they could get home all right. We reached home safe being the best one of the season. l believe Stubb tried to match a game with Norton for Thanksgiving Day, but they wouldnit play unless we'd come there, so we called it off The season of l9l2 closed, with the best records and best fellowship between you boys, that P. H. S. has ever known. and sound at 3:30 p. m every one shaking on it Remember, boys, I'm for you and I will not soon forget the 1912 Champions of Western Kansas. Respectfully yours, . COACH SAWYER. Q P. S.-As I started to lay your picture away, I noticed I had written the schedule ot the games on the back and thought perhaps you would enjoy it, if you hadn't saved yours.

I it was a very rich part of the mountain in which the hermit lived, a sort of mineral oasis in that desert of snow and rock. A number of mine owners, both pro- spective and otherwise had made several vain efforts to gain possession of the land, but on account of the obstinacy of the old hermit, it was still a wilderness. The hermit was a dear old man, at heart, though to a passing stranger he would seem extremely primitive. His hair was very long and as white as the snow about him: while his beard, long tangled and wavy was somewhat darker. His brown eyes looked out kindly and perhaps a little wistfully from beneath his dark heavy eye- brows. All his movements were deliberate and easy and his gentle touch suggested rustic culture and manly pride, His little cabin with its snow-covered roof was known everywhere HS U19 HSP mit's Hut, and was a land-mark for mountain travelers, but no one was able to find the hidden path that led up to it. The hermit went and came quietly and un-noticed, always avoiding the main roads and the more frequented mountain paths. His traps were found in very unusual places while his favorite paths and nooks were along the crevices and ledges of the mountain side. It was very late in the afternoon of a bright spring day just when the old world seemed at her best: the happy little birds were flying toward their different homes as the old hermit and Nero his dog came leisurely up the winding rugged path to his desolate abode. The setting sun was casting long shapeless shadows over the valley below as if striving to veil nature's unrivalled beauty. The quaint little farm houses scattered among the foot hills, the grazing herds in the sloughs, with the silver river lazily threading its way through their midst, were all brightened for a moment in the last glowing rays of the sun as it slowly dropped behind the distant moun- tain peak. The hermit paused near the corner of the cabin, leaned wearily against the tall pine, that through many changing years, had watched like a sentinel over his isolation, There he stood drinking in the beauties and marvels of God's handiwork. Then the dim gray twilight came creeping up from the valley softening and blending the hills and trees till the who-le mountain side lay in complete darkness. The stars came out one by one, the moon round and red arose from behind a silver-lined cloud and still the hermit lost in memories was utterly oblivious to the plaintive whinings of Nero. Then the faithful old dog grew more and more excited, he quickly roused his wits and started to enter his cabin, but there on the doorstep, the moon shining full on his dirty tear-stained face and brown curls was a fat rosy little boy, sound asleep and still clinging to a pail half full of berries. As he hesitated over the sleeping child, old Nero, who had now become calm again, walked away a few steps and lay down for a peaceful nap. The old hermit thoughtfully studied the countenance of hif little visitor, then stooping down carefully lifted the little man in his strong arms. How dependent and tiny he seemed lying there, his curly head nestled so comfortably on the hermit's shoulder. After all, the hermit was much lonelier than he had realized. Bright fancies of the future flitted across his mind in quick succession. How well he would like to keep this little boy for his own, no one would ever know what had become of him and when the hermit went to town or on long tramps, he could leave Nero at home with the child. But when he stopped to consider his own empty life he could not bear to take so much from this child's life, for no doubt, he would grow to be a fine man with a splendid career so he roused the boy, gave him a frugal supper and put him in his bed of dry leaves where he slept as soundly as in his own little bed. The next morning after an early breakfast, the hermit tried to discover who the child was and after a great many questions and promises succeeded in waxing from him the fact that he lived two or three miles down the mountain side with his aunt and uncle. The hermit had been in a few dealings with his uncle and knew that he was a mining engineer, who had moved into the canyon as a prospector. He had made a number of attempts to obtain the territory over which the hermit had reigned for years, but the old hermit was too sly to be trapped, too obstinate to be compelled and too proud to be flattered. So when he had the child there in his home he thought perhaps he might keep him in exchange for the land, which he knew must sometime go. But when the little chap asked him to take him home it touched the old rnan's heart with pity, and taking the pail half full of berries in one hand and the baby's fat little fist in the other, he started down that same little winding path with a heavier yet a softer heart. liy his dooping head and languid steps old Nero seemed to understand that his master was disappointed and respectfully followed quietly at his heels, without ever noticing the occasional hares that darted here and there from beneath the brush. The hermit walked very slowly while the little fellow trudged manfully by his side. Whenever they came to a bad place the hermit carefully lifted him over, constantly guarding very step. Finally they emerged from a thicket and entered the main road. The hermit paused and glanced around him for a brief instant, then the three resumed their jour- ney down the dusty road. They had gone but a sho-rt distance when they rounded a sharp turn in the road and there scarcely a quarter of a mile away was a comfortable farm house. The hermit pointed it out to the child whose eyes brightened as he recognized his home. Then as the hermit pressed a fervent kiss on his forehead and released his hand. he scampered down the road toward homeg the hermit watched him until the gate clicked behind him, then with a smothered sigh turned and started for home. When he reached home he sat at his rude table and tearing the fly leaf from an old hymn book wrote very informal letter to the prospector, telling him that he withdrew all claim to the land and asking him to be kind to the squirrels and birds for they had been his only friends. He requested that he leave the little cabin as a monument of his victory. That night the old hermit and Nero sarted out to find another home. He had lost his home. his wilderness and allg but in losing them he had won the gratitude, the love and confidence of a little child and he was glad that he had made the sac- T1f1C'?- -M. L. C. 15. PRISONER AT THE BAR. The .ludge addressed the prisoner saying: Prisoner at the bar, have YOU ally' thing to say why sentence of death shall not be passed upon you? Not a sound or a. whisper was heard while the Judge waited for the answer to his question. , Suddenly the prisoner arose to his feet, and in a low, firm, distinct voice, said: I have! Your honor, you have asked me a question, and I now ask, as the last favor on earth, that you will not interrupt my answer until I am through. I stand here before the bar, convicted of the willful murder of my wife. Truth- ful witnesses have testified to the fact that I was a loafer, a drunkard and a wretchg that l returned to my home one evening and fired the fatal shot that killed the wife I have sworn to love and protect. . While I have no remembrance of committing the fearful deed, I have no right to complain or to condemn the verdict of the twelve good men who have acted as jury in the case, for their verdict is in accordance with the evidence. I liut, may it please the court, I wish to show that I am not alone responsible for the murder of my wife. This statement caused a great sensation, The prisoner paused a few moments and then continued I icjieat, your honor, that I am not the only one guilty of the murder of my wife. The Judge on this bench, the jury in the box, the lawyers, within this bar and most of the witnesses including the pastor of the old church are also guilty before Almighty God, and will have to stand with me before His judgment throne, where we shall all be righteously judged. lf it had not been for the saloons of my town I never would have become a drunkard: my wife would not have been murdered and my children cast out on the mercy of the world, while I am to be hung by the strong arm of the state. Our town was without a saloon for one year. During that year, I was a sober man. and my wife and children were happy. When the papers were out against the re-opening the saloons of our town, I was one of those, who signed them. But one-half of this jury, the prosecuting attorney on this case. and the judge, who sits on this bench, all voted for the saloons. By their votes and iniiuence saloons were re-opened, and they have made me what I am. These vsords ol' the prisoner fell on the hearts of those present, and many of the spectators and the lawyers were moved to tears. The judge was going to stop him here, but the prisoner said, No, no, your honor, do not make nie stop here, I am nearly through. Since the saloons, that you have voted for made me a drunkard and a mur- derer, I ani taken before the bar of justice and now the law power will conduct me to the place of execution, and hasten my soul into eternity. I shall appear before an- other bar, the judgment bar of God, and there you, who have legaized the traffic, will have to appear with me. You voted in the saloons that made me a drunkard and murderer, and you are guilty with me before God and man for the murder of my wife. All of you know in your hearts that these words of mine are not the ravings of an unsound mind, but God Almighty's truth. Your honor, I am done. I am no-w ready to receive my sentence and be led forth to the place of execution. You will close by asking the Lord to have mercy on my S0111-U V. D. '16. THE PRINCE lt had been a day of great rejoicing and a ball was given in Was given in honor of yesterday's football victory, which had Championship of the Wabash Valley. That night is one long those who were pariakers in the fun. Old football players who years before, had dropped business to attend the ball. the evening. The ball given the 'College the to be remembered by had been in the game The gymnasium, here, as at most colleges, was the place where all college dances were held. lt was about half past ten and the gym floor was alive -with tawdry cos- tumes, gay voices and the jolly laughter of the dancers. Two masqueraders, young ladies dressed as gypsy girls, were standing at one end of the floor. They seemed to be having a vast lot of fun discussing the costumes of the other masqueraders. These young ladies, Grace Dennis and Mae Clarke, were quite popular, and it was only by their own wish that they were not dancing this dance. But their evident fun was interrupted by the entrance of another masquerader, a man. He was attired in the garb of a prince and his athletic form clothed in the rich array attracted the attention of the two young ladies. Who do you suppose it is? exclaimed Grace, If l did not know that brother Dick was to be here in the costume of a Jesuit, I should be tempted to think that it was he, replied Mae. UOh, is Dick going to be here?'f asked Grace quite anxiously. Yes, why? Hwhy, I thought that he was in the cityf' Oh, so he was, but being an old football player, he is quite an enthusiast. And feeling the need of a little recreation, he came down this afternoonft Why didift you tell me? pouted Grace. Uh, because, was Mae's teasing answer. At this time the orchestra, which had come down from the city in the afternoon, struck up a popular rag, and a masqued cowboy came up and took Mae away. Grace was left alone but turning around, she saw the Prince coming toward her. She looked away as if she had not seen him and then she heard a low, smooth voice inquire for the dance. Referring to her card, she found that the next was not engaged so she told him to come then. At this time her partner, a sailor, came up and away they Went. When the dance was ended, she had hardly taken her seat at the side of the gym, when she saw the Prince coming. Just as soon as the music started they were off in the midst of the whirl of brilliant color. Grace was an excellent dancer, she just loved to dance and she found her partner even better. Somehow or other she felt so snug in those arms, she felt as if she could dance forever with that Prince. The dance ended all too soon, and Grace, feeling warm, accompanied her partner to the door. Then at his request she sat with him on the steps in front of the gym. There was an odd silence and Grace's mind wandered back four years to the time when she was Freshman in College and Richard Clarke was a Senior Law. On just such a night as this they sat together on these very steps and he had proclaimed his love to her. But she had asked him io wait, to come again when she was through College. In her reverie she again heard him, 'that low voice pleading with her. But she seemed to hear more than he had said that night. She heard that same voice pleading: Grace, darling, I have waited. Now, you are a Senior, you graduate in the spring. Grace, I have come again. ' X Then she knew why she had felt so snug in those arms, why she felt as if she could dance forever in those arms. Oh, Dick. And again she found herself in the Prince's arms. PETE, 14. GRACE'S IVIISTAK E. Grace sat in the office, thinking of her old home. She thought of the happy care free days she had spent on the old farm. Then she remembered, how, when she was old enough she was sent away to college. After her education was finished, her parents thought she would be home with them and they had expectations of a bright and happy future in the sunny presence of their only child. However, they were sadly disappointed because, after being in the society of other girls Grace was not satisfied on her quiet farm home. For a few weeks she remained at home, but was very discontented and al- though her father and mother did everything to please her, she began to beg them that she might go to the city and secure a position. At last her parents unwillingly gave their consent and she answered an adver- tlement for a stenographer and in a few days her father took her to the station and with a happy heart she went to the city. She had been in the noisy, tiresome city for a year, at the beginning of our story and was homesick and had come to the conclusion that farm life was more pleasant than that in the city. She had worked in the office, but her expenses were so great that she was compelled to deprive herself of many pleasures to meet them. Many times she had longed to write to her mother and tell her all her troubles, but her pride restrained her from doing so, as she had gone to the city against the wishes of her parents and she could not control her pride enough to admit that she had done vfrong. As she sat with her head on her hand, she was awakened from her reverie by the harsh, cruel voice of the manager. 'tMiss Hamilton, he said, 'iyour attention seems to be wandering from your letter writing. Grace made her decision that moment. She replied, 'Tve finished my letter writing. I'm going home to father and mother. The manager realivzed that he was losing a valuable assistant and offered an in- crease in her wages, but home-sickness overcame pride and she left the office. Upon arriving at her roomher first impulse was to telegraph to her parents and tell them cf her coming, but no! she would surprise them. So she hurriedly packed her suit case and prepared to take the morning train to the little village. It was a sun1n.er's morning and as Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton were sitting alone in their large airy kitchen eating breakfast, Mrs. Hamilton said to her husband, John, do you remember a year ago today? For a moment he thought, then replied, Yes, Marthaj it was just a year ago today that Grace went away. An hour later Airs. Hamilton was washing the dishes and her husband was read- ing his morning paper. They saw the old, lazy livery team, from the village, drive into the yard. It must be a peddlerf, remarked Mr. Hamilton, but words cannot express their surprise and joy when their own beautiful Grace alighted from the rig an-l ran down the old, worn path that led to the kitchen door.

N DRAMATIC ART DRAMATIC ART. The two plays A White Shawl and A Soldier's Sweetheartj' which were given by the Plainville High School, revealed the dramatic ability of many of the High School students. The iirst play, A White Sl1awl, was given on November ll, 1913, under the di- rection of Mr. Brown. This farce comedy was exceptionally entertaining in that it was clever and witty. The success of the play depended much upon the cast and their adaption of their respective roles. It was the first time some had taken part in such work and all of them deserve praise. The cast was as follows: Dr. Adolphus Katz, with a fad ......... Elizabeth Steele, sister to Katherine .,... Katherine Steele, sister to Elizabeth ....... Betsy Iirifygs, their aunt from the country... Arthur Clayton, engaged to Katherine ..... . . . .Everett Myers . . .Daisy Benedict . . . . . .Myrtle Wise .. . . . . .Eula Tucker . . .George Spellman George Rydll, engaged to Elizabeth .......... ............... ......... D a le Reynolds On the same evening of A White Shawl, a farce comedy, t'Murder Will Out, was given as a prelude. This was strictly a comedy, in which Ray Groom as an lrish ser- vant girl, captivated the audience with his witty conversation and clever manners. The cast was as follows: Bridget O'Flarity, Irish servant girl .... ........... R ay Groom Lena Styles, daughter of a parson ......... ......,.. M arguerite Hall Grandma Styles, grandmother of Lena .... ...Mildred llaumgartner May Taylor, friend of Lena's ...,........ ........ Z illa Richolson Minnie Smith, friend of Lena's ........ .. .... .... ...... . . ..Bertha O'Brien Dinah, a negro servant .....................,.................,....... Mamie Fischer Not long after The White Shawl was given, a High School Dramatic Club was organized with John Hammar as Trainer. On December 19 and 20, 1913, this club gave A Soldiers Sweetheart. As a whole the play was pleasing and well given, each member of the cast doing all in his power to make it a success. The cast was as follows: Victor Belmont, soldier and Elsie's lover .... Benjamin Lovell, Elsie's father ............... Elsie Lovell, the soldier's sweetheart .......... Teddy O'Mally, Elsie's Irish-American cousin .... Kate Tyson, Benjamin Lovell's ward ........... Matilda Doblin ld .......Ray Groom . . . .Dale Reynolds ....Eula Tucker . . . .Roy McPhail . . . . . . .Myrtle Wise s, an o maid ...................... ...Myrtle Anderson Tommy Sprankling, Joseph Sprankling's brother.. . . . . 1 L Guy Ordway James, a servant ...................... ... .... j Joseph Sprankling, a villain ......... , .................................. Everett Myers The Senior Play, 'AA Rival by Request, is to be given some time during com- mencement week. It is strictly comedy all the way through, full of many laughable predicaments, but fate has her way and straightens out every perplexing difficulty and each character is well pleased with his reward. The cast is to be as follows: Walter Pierson, young bachelor ..... Winthrop Symthe, his friend ...,......... Robert Burnett, retired business man Benjamin Briggs, a retired farmer...
