man and Sophomore years we gained many athletic honors secured mainly by Harry Newton, Carleton Kendall, Harry Hawkey, Fay Stewart and Ernest Naegely. Mr. Hannawalt was our Botany teacher and about him our fun, likewise our troubles centered. Without undue pressure Ernest resigned, Harry Newton took his place and after the unheard of precedent of a strike, peace was again restored. Then we decided to have a picnic. This was held June 1 in Down’s Grove and enjoyed by everyone present, especially by Dorothy and the bugs. But the picture now called my attention from the Sophomore to “HER JUNIOR YEAR.” Again our numbers were just half the previous year, but we gained two new members, that were left to us from the class of 1912. That year Grace returned from Wisconsin to join our ranks again. This year we had before us the problem of a Junior reception. With an executive force consisting of Anna, Ruth, Beryl and Grace, supplemented by a willing class we proved ourselves equal to it. First, however, we decided our class colors, red and blue, then selected our banner. In quick succession came scenes from Candy Sales, Picture Show Benefits and Basket Social, at all of these we gained material means toward our reception. The question came up of whether we should give a banquet or reception, with an equal division of votes. So with much tact, many arguments and skill, the committee evaded all restrictions and we gave both. At the banquet we presented the Seniors with a ten dollar gold piece for their Washington trip. The evening proved a success and we tired Juniors were repaid for our labor. On the last day of the year we organized with the same officers for “HER SENIOR YEAR.” Only thirteen left with but two boys. Where was Ernest?

 ©ream of tfje $asit Surely it was fate that led me on that drizzly November evening to buy a ticket and slip into a little moving picture show on a side street. The first reel was uninteresting. Discouraged and downhearted I was about to leave when the title of the second flashed on the curtain, catching and holding my attention—“A Dream of the Past,” by Harold A. Van Wegen. The author’s name carried me back to my High School life. So Harold had entered, in a way, the literary world! Certainly no one would have expected that. But as I watched the picture I grew more and more amazed for me indeed, it was a “Dream of the Past.” A young woman, whom I recognized as Louise, was idly dreaming on a sunlit porch. In flashes there came to her pictures of her school days in the old high school. “HER FRESHMAN YEAR.” A scene in the old Junior High, there were three full rows; then, in the Senior High on the east side, three rows more, in both places making things exciting for the rest of the school and especially for the teachers. Now, came a class meeting—great disorder prevailed but finally to the evident relief of every one the troublesome sixty were organized with Carlton Kendall as president and all was peaceful again. The picture faded, but I could supply the details. “HER SOPHOMORE YEAR.” Flashed on the screen. We occupied, now, only the three center rows, our numbers had shrunk to half but as our numbers decreased our spirit and enthusiasm increased. We quickly organized again with Ernest as president and Ruth as secretary, other officers being deemed unnecessary. During our Fresh-

lie had deserted us but no one yet knows why. We immediately selected our pins, then came the pressing question of money for our Washington trip. A fair was decided on, to be held before Cliristmas, also a play. The fair was accomplished with sixty dollars to our credit but the play had to be given up. After Christmas we were pleased to see Ernest again in our midst. The money making plans went on until by the first of May we had cleared one hundred twenty dollars for our trip. But here the reel broke. I passed out for the end was near, and I had seen enough to remind me that somewhere in the world I had thirteen loyal classmates of the year 1913. —J. R. M. 13.
