I think of a story,” said (iraiuhladdy Jim “Which I love, ami I'll tell it to you. It’s a legend which tells of the virtue and power Of two colors, the gold and the blue. “There once lived a king in a far away land With his beautiful daughter Elaine; Her suitors were many from near and from far Bur each one of them wooed her in vain. “At length when her father had tired of her play He published a great proclamation. ’Twas a contest for winning the hand of Klaine, For the princes all over the nation. “To the prince who was able to bring to the king Two symbols of virtue and power Which combined would be able to conquer all things He would give the long-coveted dower. “At last came a prince who was handsome and bold And be rode on a black prancing steed : And the princess was charmed when she looked on his face So she bade him good-bye and God-speed. “He traveled afar and his quest seemed in vain ’Til above him one beautiful day He saw the blue sky with its sunlight of gold Surely virtue and power were they. “In haste he returned. ‘Oh your majesty see. No tokens 1 bring, but behold In the blue of the sky is the virtue you seek And the strength in the sunlight of gold’.” By Helen B rkf.r. ’24. ‘ant Fourteen ______ ______ . :Shmmb41MAYFLO - ■ MAYFLOWER-1924 Harold Scott “Inthinking. idle. wild and young.

OVV the history of the Class of Twenty-and-Four, of the High School of the City of Plymouth, County of Mar- shall, State of Indiana, is in this wise: In the beginning, in the two and eighteenth year of our Lord, in the ninth month, there entered into this Land of Learning, five and forty seekers after knowledge. Among that great multi- tude of people, some were timid and others were green and fresh. They were overcome by a feeling of smallness and insignificance as they entered this land. They believed not that they should become wise and have great triumphs among the people. Chapter II. Now it came to pass as they dwelt long in this land flowing with knowl- edge, that they four times assembled in the Hall of Class Organization, where they did listen with eagerness to the speeches and nominations. Then did they choose (Hen Ritchey to be their leader throughout their time in this land. Yea, then also did they say Mildred Garl to be the first helper unto him. I nto Howard Carr was given this place throughout their remaining years. During the second year, unto Martha Fanner was given the money box for their pieces of silver, and unto Myrle Marsh was this given the other years that remained to them. The tablet for their records, while in this land, was always in the possession of Genevieve Huff. These leaders served them nobly and the ('lass of Twenty- and-Four are grateful to them for their services. Likewise they did choose to In- one of their colors, the blue of the sky and the sea. For the other tliev did choose gold, the emblem of value, purity, anti radiance which did shine with a bright light in the gloom of disappoint- ment and hardship. Chapter III. And as the Class did journey through the land, they did make merry. The first time they did gather together was for a Hallowe’en party at the Parish House to which most of the five-and- forty members did come. Lo, four years did they celebrate this masquerad- ing festival. And it came to pass in the first and second year of their life as a class that they did assemble unto the Temple of St. Valentine. As the spring of each year drew nigh, they did gather at Pretty Lake to enjoy the earth and the fullness thereof. Now, when the time for the departure of the Class of Twcnty-and-three had nearly come, this class did send messages unto them saying, “Come ye and make merry for all things are now made ready for a feast. They did come and did eat of the good things and did rejoice with the C lass of Twenty-and-Four. It came to pass that in the Junior and Senior years, a certain maiden, Rae White, having attained a birthday, en- tertained this class at her country dwell- ing. Now . it so happened that they did also gather unto the house of another maiden, Mabel Heim, to celebrate their last Hallowe’en festival. They did cat, dance, and make merry, and so returned to the Hall of Education. Lo, and be- hold, for the ruler of this land was very much wroth and spake unto them say- ing, “(Jo, gather ye each one into my hall, so that ye may know my strength and your punishment for dancing.” They did all assemble there, some with fear, some with regretfulness, and others with merriment. Into them he t'asc Twenty’Four 3E7W. 325 MAYFLOWER • 1924i[?; jgjsiM tg: v: ?£;?-. MMM12M said, “Thou shalt not again dance and therefore must suffer.” Some spake unto him saying, “Heaven forgive us for we knew not what we did.” And it did come to pass that they did serve all their days of punishment with sad repentance. Chapter II . Lo. and many did rejoice and sing in the operettas—“Sylvia” and “Miss Cherry Blossom.” One who dwelt among us, William Franklin, did there- by gain renown. During their Junior year it came to pass, that they did show unto the town their talent, and the people did see a Minstrel show along with the motion picture “The Lost River.” Some members of the class did also take parr in a Style Show that the Home Economics classes did give. And as they went on their way re- joicing through the land, they made merry with their townsfolk at a Carni- val, and did again show them their talent hv “The Charm School.” Chapter I . Now, it so happened that there were some who took much interest in the Home Economics. And it came to pass during the Junior year that Loretta Lee and Nellie Rankin did go, as a reward for much faithfulness, to Purdue. The Home Economics Club did also choose Loretta Lee to go to the State Fair at Indianapolis, where she did attend classes and thereupon did make reports w hen she returned. Chapter I I. Lo. and behold, in this class there was much “sounding of brass and tin- kling of cymbals” and there were many to lift their voices in song. It came to pass that in each of the four years they did furnish members unto the High School Quartette. And it so happened that in the two latter years, three mem- bers of the four did come from this class. Frances Armantrout did take part also in twenty-and-one and Martha 'Fanner in twenty-and-two. Doris Van Vactor was the other of the three who did take part. In the year twenty-and- three, the Quartette did take unto themselves first place and in twenty-and- two, second place. William Franklin in twenty-and-two and Harold Scott in twenty-and-four did lift their voices in song in the Boys’ Quartette. Chapter I'll. Likewise the class did have much learning. I nto Louise K. Ball were given the honors in Declamation in twenty-and-two and twenty-and-three, and also did she furnish entertainment for the high school programs. And it so happened that she in twenty-and-two and Robert Metsker, a former student, did each have a place on the debating teams. Lo, and behold, the literary talent was manifest by one, Helen Barker, and by another, Doris Van Vactor, who did provide poems and stories unto the “Mayflower” and “Ye Pilgrim.” Myrle Marsh did have a place on the “Ye Pilgrim staff for three years, being Editor-in-Chicf in twenty-and-four. In that same year was Helen Barker, news reporter, and Ruth Fries did take the part of Senior reporter. Chapter 1111. And it straightway happened that the Class of Twenty-and-Four did possess a few honor students. Among them were. Myrle Marsh. Rae White, Helen Barker, Louise K. Ball, Martha Fanner and Mabel Heim. Chapter I.Y. And behold, likewise they did care- fully store away their pieces of silver. In twentv-and-three and twenty-and- four they did win for themselves the cup for the greatest per cent, of deposi- tors in savings accounts. Chapter .V. Now, it came to pass that there were other worthy activities of this class. In the inter-class basket-ball tournaments of the last three years they did make themselves one of the winning teams. In twenty-and-four the boys and girls were both triumphant. Several boys ot the class were members of the high school basket ball team. Harold Scott did take part in the activities of the team for four years. This class did also furnish many unto the girls’ team. In the year of the twenty-and-four the girls’ team was made up of all Senior MAYFLOWER 1924 girls. Howard Carr did take unto himself the office of president of the Athletic Association. Genevieve Huff and Louis Raven did fill other offices. Edgar O’Keefe did lead the Seniors in the yells. Chapter XL Now it also came to pass, when the time of departure drew nigh, they did make merry with the Class of Twcnty- and-fivc. And when they did depart from this festival. the did offer them their thanks for the pleasure they did provide for their enjoyment. I O, and behold, it did happen that their glorious journey and time in this land was completed and they must then depart to go each one a separate way to lands he knew not of. The pleasant memories of friendship, glorious tri- umphs, class spirit, and teachers who did help and inspire them, must aid them to gain each unto himself a successful his- tory. ‘age Tvrnty-Six Senior Class Prophecy “Ask Mehendra—Reader of the Past. Present, and Future.’’ ITU this sign confronting me I came to a dead stop. Surely the Kates had presented me a way out of my difficulty. You wonder what difficulty? I shall tell you and I am sure you he convinced that it is a per- plexity at least. 1 had been entrusted with the power of designating my class- mates’ future walks in the high way of life, and I was in great anxieties to know what occupation each would be the best fitted to occupy. Since I was not in possession of the power to augur, I hesitated to commit myself to be a liar—for what assurance had I that my prophesy would be cor- rect? In later days, if 1 had foretold incorrectly, would I not be heavily blamed? And now! Here was a way out of it all. Without any more thought upon the matter, 1 straight way inquired where Mehendra could be found. From one of the loafers outside the Candy Kitchen, 1 think it was Hall Wunderlich, I learned that he was holding his temple in the Rialto 'Theatre. I thanked him and hurried to the spot at once and was immediately usher- ed into the presence of the wizard. Hr wore an eastern turban, and gave one tin impression of undefined power. He was seated, crosslegged, on some rugs and cushions with a tiny stand before him, hearing his globe and fortune tell- ing equipment. After the formalities of greeting, Mehendra inquired in a velvet voice, if 1 would have my fortune read by the palm or cards or by the all revealing globe. 1 fully explained my mission to him and when I had finished, he said. I can foretell only for the people whom I can see and study—therefore I cannot foretell for your classmates, but I can transfer my power of reading the globe to you. who know your comrades, in order that their future mav be re- vealed.” “Oh! Sir,” 1 cried, “if you will be so kind.” Mehendra tinkled a tiny bell by his side. Immediately a Turkish slave en- tered, bearing on a tray a silver goblet containing a red liquid which gave off an elusive, soothing fragrance. This potion was placed before me and Mehendra gently commanded me to drink and gain knowledge of the un- known. At the first sip of this red liquid, one year’s events dropped upon my shoulders, and at the second, another year had been added. When 1 had drained the contents of the cup, ten years’ knowledge of human events had miraculously become mine. “Now. said Mehendra softly, “gaze into the globe, and read the future of whosoever you will.” Following his command, 1 bent over the globe. At first. I could see nothing in its iridescent depths, then, gradually a cloud gathered in the bottom. Re- flected upon a dark background was an attractive little white bungalow set in the midst of a lawn dotted with flower- ing shrubs. In a reed porch swing was a pretty young matron formerly known as Grace Bollinger. Next came a picture of Louise Ball, former editor of “Mayflower”, seated at a large desk in the downtown office of 'The Pilot. Louise, wearing nose glasses and a blouse with a man’s tie, was busily engaged in bossing” her stenographers about the assistant editor’s office. Next, I saw Myrle Marsh, as private secretary to Henry Ford. Myrle was not to be recognized at first glance, as he was wearing a tiny mustache. 'The scene shifted to radio broadcast- ing station, KYI), in Knox, Indiana, where Hope Grossman, former basket ball star, is now giving weekly chats on “How to Rear Children. On the court house steps of Inwood, Indiana, was pictured a stirring scene. 'There, is a red cross and a preacher of the K. K. K. dressed in his white robe. It is the face of Carl Zimmer earnestly putting his views before the people. On the same page, was an article stating that Ellen Hartsough was the winner of the Amateur 'Typing Medal. A newspaper clipping was next pictur- ed stating that Miss Fern Price would Pate Twenty-Seven lecture for the Home Economics Classes of P. 11 .S. every week. Again came another newspaper page telling of a dinner party given by Mrs. Verion Miller, Linkville society leader, who was formerly Miss Loretta Lee. The next item that struck my eye was an offer of a $5 reward for Cuddles, a lame cat that had escaped from an asylum for crippled cats and disabled dogs, founded and maintained bv Helen L. Parker. Another item was “Advice for the Love Lorn” by Mabel Heim. In another section was the announce- ment that seed corn could be obtained at the Marshall County Agent’s office. This article was signed by Lewis Raven. Noticing two pictures of Mary Frey- man, one fleshy and one thin, I read that she had discovered a marvelous method for reducing and was now offering her secret to the public for the sum of $1.50. Right below this article was the an- nouncement that the matronship for Prightside had been given to Hazel Smith. A location “set in Hollywood, next took form in the globe, and I saw Maurice Lauer cranking a camera for Paramount Picture Stars. The next scene was the interior of’ one of Sells Kioto Circus tents, where I ranees Armantrout was doing horse- back stunts on a snow-white horse. Next came a scene at the Olympic meet where Nellie Rankin was accepting the laurels for world record breaking swimming and diving feats. A great baseball diamond took form on the globe, showing a home run made by Troy Servis, a player on the White Sox team. Page 17 of the March issue of the Delineator contains Elmer Albert’s ex- perience as efficiency expert for A font- gome rv, Ward Co. O11 pages 24 and 25 are two pictures in colors. One is of Carol Jacox who is posing for a marvelous hair curling fluid known as “Curline . The other picture is of Martha Tan- ner who is exhibiting her beautiful hands and finger nails. This is a result of the faithful use of Cutex. A man in the uniform of the Salvation Army appeared. The face was at first indistinct so that it w as almost a minute before I recognized Edgar O’Keefe. Doctor Hume’s office was the next place that came before my eyes. A patient was strapped into the chair anti a man in a w hite coat with some pliers in his hand proved to be Harold Scott. He put his knee against the back of the dentist’s chair and prepared to do his “strong arm stuff.’’ The scene faded just then and show- ed one of Child's restaurants located in Hibbard, Indiana. This was managed by Howard Carr. The orchestra was directed by (lien Ritchey. At one of the tables sat a dinner party- composed of Harold Huff, expert pen- man for A. N. Palmer. His guests were Margaret (Irolich and (icnevicve Huff, members of the All American Pasket Pall Team, Charles Hammakcr, film favorite in Hollywood, Dclmas Whitesell, champion spaghetti eater of the world, and Ruth Erics, who is on the Chautauqua circuit as Woman of Many Faces.” The “Dew Drop Inn” at LaPaz, In- diana. next came before my eyes. Mabel Myers, proprietress, was having a chat with two of her old classmates who had dropped in for a cup of tea. They were Rae White, mathematical teacher in Lincoln High School, and Thelma Spirler, primary teacher in the Plymouth slums. I'lie last picture was of a homestead on the prairies where I observed Gladys Dictl and her husband, Oliver Dickson, as inseparable as in former days. 'Their favorite crop is strawberries. I sat motionless on my cushion staring dazedly into the globe. A light touch on my shoulder caused me to start violently as from a trance. Mehendra was standing at my side, smiling with satisfaction. “Oh! he said softly, “you have seen all?” I nodded, too weary for words, as I was very tired from the strain. The slave stood before me again, with another goblet of wine. “Drink,” said Mehendra and I obeyed at once. The wine gave me new strength and I thanked him heartily for his aid. I hurried away to put into words the prophesy shown me by Mehendra’s globe. Tnge Twenty-Eight Class Will E, the members of the Senior Class ot Plymouth High School, City ot Plymouth.

While cruising along Lake .Michigan, we stopped at Chicago, where Bernice Hoff left us and is now attending the American School. We sailed on farther and when we reached Ashland. Ohio, one of our most faithful and loyal members. Porcas Bame, left us and is now continuing her cruise in another ship. We finally reached the Pacific Coast, and while we were enjoying the balmy summer days, Billy Dublin decided to leave the “Purple and White” and return to his former home, Pasadena, California. Some of the passengers who left us while we were on the Sea of Vacation” are Gladys Chaney. Eugene Campbell, Alice Keister. Mary Seymour. Kenneth Pitts, Mildred Keiper, and Mildred Kcsterson. After the “Purple and White” had been sailing a feu months, Kelso Holem left us. Not long afterwards Dorman Hunter, alias “Blondy” or “Greasy” heard the call of the South Bend crew and left our ship in which he had been sailing for almost three years. We have taken on hoard only four new members this year, namely: Jenny Woodcox, Mary Weisert, and Florence and Ethel Zehner. We were very glad to welcome these girls and we hope that they have enjoyed the cruise. A number of our boys, Kizer, Glass, Evans, Stout, and Brown greatly pleas- ed our crew by playing basket ball. They have shown unusual ability in this line, and have gained much popu- larity and fame. We expect them to win many honors next year. also. Some of our girls could not resist the temptation to use up some of their superfluous energy, so they went out for basket ball. These girls are Esther Head, Bernice Hcilick, Lucille Erwin, and Margaret Myron. And behold our vocal ability among the boys! Pile crew heard a peculiar noise and discovered that the outcry came from Harold Bockovcn and Stan- ley Brown. They informed us that they had joined the Boys’ Quartette. A number of our girls joined the Glee Club and made quite an addition to it. Also we noticed that some of our male crew has been singing in the Mixed Chorus. We are proud to relate that one of our crew, Carol Linkenhelt, is a member of the Girls’ Quartette which has gained much fame in the city of Plymouth. Our crew had a dandy time on Octo- ber 26. We asked our good captain. Kizer. to go ashore and let us have a Hallowe’en Party, because it wouldn't seem right if we sailed along and never stopped to enjoy a frolic on shore. Each person dressed to represent a popular song, and Annie Laurie”, “Barney Google”, and “The Shiek” were all there. At a late hour we climbed on board the ship and sailed away again on the “Sea of Education.” In the month of February our crew suddenly decided that we were in need of money, so we quickly planned a way to get it. Everyone got busy and sold to the members of passing ships, a great number of tickets to a movie, showing Jackie Coogan in “Trouble.” With the coming of spring we longed for more recreation, so we “donned” our Easter “togs” and stopped at the Isle of Saint Easter. We then felt more like going back and we prepared to pilot our ship around the “Cape of Final Exams.” We are looking forward to our annual picnic. Our captain has promised to guide the ship to some attractive isle and all of us are anticipating a wonderful time. After that we will again set forth upon the Sea of Education.

She was manned by Captain kizer And her crew or Freshies green. Our good ship cut the water with her keel so bright and keen. She was the greatest ship that ever has been seen. We have noted students since out « raft put out to sea. One is Harold Bockoven, a Prof., he is to be: And there is Davy Eidson, a lawyer, yet, you’ll see; And there is Margaret Myron, a brilliant lass is she; And here is a word for Russell Class, The best little athlete in our class. Now here’s to little Dicky, a love-sick lad we know; For down the street with Gladys, we often see him go. And there is Carol Linkenhelt. so lithe, so tree, so gay. She has a smile for everyone upon life’s chilly way. Then there is Lois Mann, a giggler famed is she. She has the funniest little giggle that ever you did see. Yet there is Margaret (iantz. such a tiny little tot; Alt ho she is a Junior, she is no bigger than a dot. And there is Roscoe Barts, so awkward and so tall, That when looking at his height, he is far above us all. O, we have famous persons in this great class of ours. They are strangely gifted, some with mental powers. Now comes Charlie Evans, the runner of our class; And too, in basket-ball, he throws a wicked pass. Now here is to our yell leader, a lad of great renown; He’s known through all the country as only Doctor Brown, And here is to Cyrus Stout, the wonder of our class; When you look at him, you’ll wonder, “How can he ever pass!’ If 1 would mention everyone, who’s on the Junior roll, 1 could never get this poem done, if twere to save my soul; For all the various members are gifted in divers ways. They all have many talents as their noble work displays. If I could give them honor due All would he here, they know, 'tis true; But of all renown they are bereft. For 'tis impossible in the space that’s left. Now read this well, and ever on it dream, Over all other classes, the Juniors are supreme. For the Juniors won the track meet, the last preceding year; And high above all other din rings loud a Junior cheer; Bur yet, Alas, one more short year, And we shall pass from this school so dear. Now Seniors, it is your turn to throw Your torch to us, to hold it high; A flame of knowledge in the sky; A beacon that sets the world aglow, A glow that fills the world so wide; A glow that war can never hide; We'll fill the place you leave to us; A place of duty and manly trust.

Florence (under her breath): Well, how do they exjicct me to get my lessons? ACT I—Scene 4 Time: Third Period. Place: Assembly. (Enter Eldon Babcock.

OmerBIxcl: The teachers always pick on me. “Red Snyder: May 1 speak to Ernest? Miss Wilson: Yes. During the conversation “Ernie puts some- thing suspiciously resembling a note in Wel- come's hand.

Porter: Here's a swell chew of Black Jack, never been chewed much either.

Omer Bixel: Sure, as straight as it can be on a crooked guy like you. “Bab” finally obtains permission to s| cak to Hal. under condition that he speaks not longer than four minutes. On the way back to his seat, he gets into an argument with Miss Weatherwax. “Bab”: But I couldn’t help it. I couldn't see the clock very well from where I was.

Read all about the oil scan- dal. Paper, Mister?” The man addressed shook his head absent- mindedly. engulfed in his own thoughts. “Better buy one. Mister,” the lad persisted, mistaking the stranger's preoccupied look lor one of indecision. “No,” was the thundering reply. 1 have troubles enough of my own without reading about some one’s else.' Then with increasing indignation as the boys seeming impudence dawned upon him, “You little rascal! How dare you - - ?” Seeing that a few amused passers-by were surveying them curiously, he shrugged his shoulders angrily and strode away. “Whcul” sighed the boy, mopping imagi- nary perspiration from his brow. “Whcu! Such an old grouch! You'd think--.’’ But here he paused as his eyes fell on a black object lying a few feet away on the side-walk. Stooping and picking it up, he discovered it to be a large wallet. A man’s pocket-book,” he said to himself as he hurriedly searched the contents. “Gee! Look at all the greenbacks. It’s the most money I’ve ever seen all at once. A man with this much money surely must carry a name card.” Going over the contents more slowly, he found a card with the name. Ezekiel Sellers. Now the thought of keeping the pocket-book entered the mind of the boy for the first time. He thought oi his sick mother and what so much money could do toward making her well. With as much money as this he could send her to some health resort where her lungs would be healed by the rest and sunshine. He smiled wistfully and fingered the bills longingly, but slowly shook his head. “Mother wouldn't want to get well that way,” he told himself. “Oh. why is so much temptation put in my way? My mind cries. ’Keep it, keep it.’ while my heart answers, ‘No. no. It isn’t right, and she wouldn’t want it that way.’ Yes. I’ll advertise it as soon as I sell the rest oi these papers.” And again the boy went forth with a heavy heart calling, “Paper, paper! Real all about the oil scandal. Paper, Mister?” Not until the next morning did the boy tell his mother of finding the pocket-book. He had tidied the bare little room they occupied and made his mother comfortable, placing water within her reach and the medicine she would need during his absence. A few old magazines which she already knew by heart lay on a stool by the bed. “I’m going to get you something new to read today. Mother,” he said, surveying the magazines distastefully as he arranged the pil- lows more comfortably under her head. The pale face brightened. “But are you sure you can afford it. Jimmy dear?” she asked anxiously. “You know I’m nearly out of medicine again, and with the rent almost due. and - -.” “You bet we can afford it,” Jimmy inter- rupted, kissing his mother reassuringly. I found a pocket-book last night, Mother,” he continued, seating himself on the edge of the bed and taking one thin little hand in his own. “You’d ought to have seen all the money. Mother. I’ll bet you never saw as much money. I know I never did. There was - “But, Jimmy, you aren't going to buy me magazines with that, are you?” his mother asked anxiously, a sudden fear gripping her. Jimmy evaded the searching eyes, but an- swered cheerfully, No, 1 advertised it right away last night. The advertisement will pro- bably be in this morning’s paper.” The woman sank weakly back on the pil- lows, uttering a sigh of relief, all unaware of the struggle that had taken place in Jimmy’s mind. But what did you do with a purse con- taining so much money. Jimmy? was the next question, prompted by the assailment of another fear. “I left it at the advertising office,” an- swered Jimmy. I couldn’t have the respon- sibility of so much money. I told them to receive the reward for me because - -. Well, of course, there will be a reward.” “You did exactly right, my boy,” was the encouraging reply. “I'm proud of you. “But, Mother, the temptation to keep it was strong.” answered Jimmy, refusing to ac- cept any praise he did not deserve. “When I thought of what so much money could do toward making you well, I-I-I almost gave in.” This last was said with his head buried in his hands and his body convulsed with sobs. “I’m glad, glad, glad,” was the mother's reply. “Glad?” Jimmy raised his tear-wet face from the pillow and stared at his mother un- believingly. “Glad? Glad that I hardly had the strength to resist such a temptation? Why, Mother.” “Yes. glad! I’m glad that you did have the strength to resist the temptation, glad that your strength had been tried, and you have stood the test.” Jimmy’s grief was forgotten and he smiled at his mother, saying. “You always can make a fellow see the bright side of things, Mother. Oh. yes, something else happened last night that was really funny when I think about it now. I asked a man to buy a paper, and he was going to have me arrested for it, I guess, by the way he acted. Why, Mother, he just stormed, called me an impudent little rascal, and shook his cane at me. H - Mother and son looked at each other ques- tioningly as a loud knock was heard. The landlady was the only caller they had and she only came when the rent was due. The boy went slowly to the door and opened it. Not the landlady but a messenger boy stood at the door. Pane Forty-One 25TVit'I liU it.!i iQAl'.r.' iLh U: I Arc you Jimmy O'ConncI? he asked Jimmy, who replied in the affirmative. The messenger boy handed him a package and was gone, leaving Jimmy staring silently at the package. He was finally stirred by his mother, who commanded him to open the parcel. Jimmy complied with trembling lin- gers. Seeing the contents, he gasped with amaze- ment and said to his mother, who was look- ing at him inquiringly, It's the pocket-book I found last night. Yes. and all the money is here.” he added, gazingly at the pocket-book in wonder. Suddenly he discovered something white among the green bills. It proved to Ik a 34----- piece of note paper with these words written on it. “Honesty receives its reward.” On the other side the message continued. “You will recognize me when I tell you that I am the man who treated you with such ignorance, and refused to buy a paper last evening. I)o not judge me too harshly, though, because that mood is not my habitual one. Please accept this money as a small tribute to such honesty and politeness as yours. I remain your friend. Ezekiel Sellers.’’ The boy looked at his mother with shining eyes and she softly repeated, “Honesty re- ceives its reward.” By Gladys Jones ’27.

At that time, two of the judges gave our quartette 99 per cent, and the girls, under the excellent supervision of Miss Carrie L. Boss have made much progress since then. They have done splendid work this year and we are sorry to know that this is the last year that P. H. S. may claim this quartette. Three of the girls graduate with the Class of 24”.

(leorge Boyd says that Elise Bcncdotti and his sister Sally, are attending this school. Austin tells Johns that he in- tends to live at the school and see that everything goes smoothly. But the most important is that he will teach the girls charm”. While Miss Hays is absent from the school Elise Benedotti comes after her uncle, Homer Johns, to go to the theatre. Austin Bevans tells her that she ought to go back to the school. ACT 2. SCENE i. Elise tells the girls all about the man who is beautiful and who told her sin- ought to go back. Austin Bevans and Johns come to visit the school. The girls see Johns and mistake him for Bevans. They don’t like his looks so they hold a class meeting and decide to strike and go home. Miss Hayes comes in and decides to tell Bevans of it. Of course when he comes in they all decide to stay and give many reasons for their staying. All the girls leave but Elise and she tells Austin that she only wanted to stay after he came. Miss Curtis comes in and they decide that Elise is to write a note each day to Bevans for correction. Miss Hays says she wants to resign because Austin will ruin the school but Miss Curtis favors Austin. Johns comes in and tries to have Miss Hays speak to him in private. but she tells him to talk with Mr. Bevans.

All the girls want to drop history but are crowding the danc- ing classes. Austin gives each man a scolding for paying too much attention to the girls. Jim had taken Sally to the movies and (icorge had proposed to Elise. Elise comes in to ask Austin about her letter and starts making love. Austin is in the act of pushing her out the door when (icorge comes rushing in and knocks Elise into Austin’s arms, (icorge and Austin have frequent argu- ments after this. Another time Elise comes in and is sobbing hysterically when Miss Hayes comes in. She takes in the situation and reprimands Austin. After a while Miss Hayes receives a note saying that Elise had run away. George comes in and argues with Austin. They finally learn from Sally that Elise has relatives in Bridgeport. Austin goes by auto and George by train. ACT 3. The girls hear that Austin has found Elise. The twins come to say good bye to Sally and decide that she is to go to a college in their home town. Miss Hays hears from Johns that the school is his since Bevans has made love to a pupil. Austin and Elise arrive in an old buggy for Austin’s car had broken down. George comes in with them hut he had run out of money before he arrived at Bridgeport. Johns tells Austin that the school now is his, but Elise coaxes Johns to keep the position open for a while. The rest of the hoys go back to the flat. Austin puts aside his reserve and acknowledges his love for Elise and ac- cepts the position offered him by Johns. ‘tier Forty-.Xine MAYFLOWER-1924 LINCOLN-WASHINGTON PROGRAM A joint Lincoln-Washington program was given in tlu high school assembly on the afternoon of February 22. It was hoped that this program might be held in the new Lincoln auditorium, but although this was impossible still there was a large and appreciative audience present that taxed the assembly’s seating capacity to the limit. As special guests of honor the few surviving members of Miles II. Fib- bits Lost of the (i. A. R. were present. One of the special features of the program was a playlet portraying the life of George Washington, from boyhood to the presidency. The Quartet and Glee Club furnished the music for this entertainment. Miss Wilson and Miss Crcssner were in charge of this program and it was due to their ingenuity and hard work that it proved to be such an enter- taining one. SENIOR CARNIVAL On the evening of March 8, the Armory, profusely lighted, beautifully decorated, and crowded to its utmost capacity, was indeed a brilliant sight. 'Phis was the night of the Senior Carnival. It certainly was the event of the season, especially for the Seniors who realized more from this Carnival than any class of previous years. One of the leading attractions of the evening was the Minstrel Show given by several of the high school students. Among other novelties, there was a bingo stand, a Japanese tea-room, a beauty parlor, and a class-stunt theatre. Throughout the evening a band composed of high school pupils furnished music. Phis advertised the various stands and kept the crowd’s “pep” at its highest pitch. The money taken in at this time is being used for defraying the expenses of the 1924 Mayflower. LINCOLN ESSAY CONTEST One of the events of the school year was a Lincoln Essay Contest pro- moted by the Illinois Watch Company. Phis contest was open to Seniors only. Second place was given to Mabel Heim and first place to Louise K. Ball. Louise was presented with a beautiful bronze medal on which was the head of Abraham Lincoln. ORATORY Each class was represented in the oratorical try-outs this year. When the inter-class finals were held, Ina Johnson, who gave “The Guillotine” by Victor Hugo, was awarded first place. Ina represented us in the Marshall County Oratorical contest held May 3 and again carried oft the honors. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ' I 'his is Plymouth’s first year for an organized Athletic Associa- tion. The purpose of such an Association is to have the student body, as a whole, interested in athletics. At the first meeting of the Asso- ciation. the following officers were elected: President I ice-President Secretary ’Treasurer - Howard Carr (Tf.XEVIEVE H i ff Rebecca Cook Lewis Ravex A drive was immediately started for members. The school re- sponded with almost one hundred percent. Basket ball, baseball, and track equipment was purchased during the year. Plans for a football ream for next year were made and football supplies were purchased. This was a very successful year for the Association. Pag Fi ly-Oftt BROWN O’KEEFE HOHAM YELL LEADER Soon after our Association was organized, we elected our yell leaders. Hal Hoham was elected Yell Leader with Edgar O’Keefe and Stanley Brown, assistants.

He has been on the squad every since he entered school as a Freshman. Al- though “Scotty’s” B. B. career was short this season, on account ot injuries, he leaves behind him an athletic record not easily forgotten. Troy Servis— Servit Troy came to P. H. S. in his Senior year and he proved a reliable guard, al- ways lighting to the last second of a game, and was responsible for the low- scores of many opponents. He has be- come an all round athlete. I Ioward Carr—“Speed Howard won a berth on the H. S. squad this year through his hard efforts. He has filled his position creditably covering his share of the floor, and was always full of the old lighting spirit that the squad possessed.

He covers a great deal of floor, and can be depended upon to do his best in any game. Rissell Glass— Rus Russell proved a fast and clever floor guard, a guard the opponents had to watch closely. He has made a glorious record, so far, for P. 11. S. “Rus” will be out next year to make even a greater record. Tri e Stoi t— Cy True was out of the game a great deal on account of injuries, but when- ever given a chance he gave the team all he had. He will no doubt be a valuable man next year. Harold Pixel— Lefty Harold won a berth on the squad through his clever left hand shots. He played a splendid game always giving his opponent all he wanted to handle. “Lefty is a Soph, and will wear an orange and blue suit for some time yet. Charles Pawns— Chuck “Chuck was a reliable man on Sim’s squad, always fighting for P. H. S.

There was a young fellow named Luke For her birthday he gave her a buke She hated a ftile And wanted a julc So she gave the young fellow the hukc. «00 Whiz— Where is Old Petroleum?” Hang—“Kerosene him last week, but he ain’t benzine since.” 0 0 0 Are you a doctor,” she asked the young man who runs the soda fountain. No, Madam,” he replied, “I’m a fizzican.” 0 0 0 Sign in a Lunch Room Window: Don’t make fun of our coffee; you may be old an weak some day.” 0 0 e Ruth Myron—(In Rio logy .while drawing a skeleton of a fowl) “Harvey, let me see your skeleton.” Harvey Hampton— Wait till I take my vest off.” 0' 0' 0 A duel was fought by Shott and Knott.

I’ve just bought a parrot.” Miss Crefsncr—“Instead of an alarm clock ?” Edgar—“I already had an alarm clock, but I got so I didn't pay any at- tention to it. Now I hang the parrot's cage in my room and put the alarm clock under it. When the alarm goes off it startles the parrot, and what that bird savs would wake up the Egyptian Mum- mies.” We feel for this fellow. One young man. who had an impedi- ment in his speach, of which he was highly sensitive, went to a stammerer’s school and asked for a course of treat- ments. The professor asked him if he wanted a full or partial course. A p-p-partial c-c-coursc.” To what extent would you like a partial course?” “Enough s-so that wh- when I go to a f-f-florists’ and ask for a c-c-chry-s- anthemum (whistle) e-m-m-mum, the th-thing won't w-wilt before I g-get it.” 0 0 0 Rob Brown—(to barber)—“I believe you shaved and cut my hair once be- fore.” Barber—“Oh. no, not me; I’ve only been a barber for three years. O 0 0 “The April Fool.” There was a maid, as I’ve heard tell. A very clever lass, Who prized herself on being called The “monkey” of her class. 0 0 0 One day she thought she’d have some fun So wrote a note in school; She threw this note, in which the words Read simply “April Fool.” It chanced a teacher near did spy This note as it was sent. And so she hied her down the aisle I’pon her mission bent. She’d read rich notes, of course this was No exception to the rule, Alas, but when she read that note, She was the “April Fool.” 0 0 0 Passenger—“I say, where arc my clothes?” Steward—“Where did you put them last nitc?” Passenger—“In that glass cupboard.” Steward—“Lor’ bless me sir, that ain’t a cupboard, that's a porthole.” 1‘agr Seventy-Six Tires MAYFLOWER 1924!
