In younger days he came To this land with its wealth of gold : Hut he never knew the fame Of finding wealth untold. With patience he toiled along, As tl e years passed slowly by, With scarcely ever a song. With many and many a sigh. His eye has lost its brightness, His hair is turned to grey. From his heart has gone ti e lightness. You ask, “Then why does he stay? The wildness has its charm. The mountains bind our souls.

The record to be read between the lines of this happy volume is one easily understood by us all—the record of joy and sorrow, of fun and serious task, of ambition of highest hope. Language at best is but poor expression of what the schools would say to each other and to the world; and yet we understand. Your message is one of goodwill, of service and of friendship, and when read over and over in the years to come will tell repeatedly of that sincerity of interest, that warmth of devotion and that hope for success that prompted the labor of these pages. Please accept my personal congratulation and this expres- sion of my desire that the world may be lavish in bringing to your lives her richest blessings. Faithfully yours, R. B. VON KLEIN SMID.

Charles Reberger o UT in the far West, in a city tucked away amid the pine-clad hills, there flourishes one of the best High Schools of the Southwest. Justly proud of their school and its activities are the pupils of the Prescott High School. With loyal hearts they try to do their part in sustaining its reputation. In order that their sentiment might be spread, and that the school might be more widely known, the class of 1911 insti- tuted a record of the events of the school year in the form of an annual. The other Senior classes have followed their example until, now we, the class of 1916, present this “Hassayamper.” Amid pros and cons, certainties and uncertainties, anticipations and trepidations, the “Hassayamper” has made its way to the publishers. We have aimed to make it a book worth while, a true record of the school year. We have worked faithfully that it might be a representative pro- duct of the class of 1916, and a worthy successor to the previous annuals. That it is not without faults, we will admit, but we trust that its virtues will far outweigh them. Our hope is that you, kind critic, may derive as much pleasure in scanning its pages as we have had in compiling them. The class of T6 has been very fortunate in having many helpful friends. We wish to express our thanks to the “Journal-Miner,” to Brock-Haffner. the engravers, to Mr. Bate, the photographer, to Rav Vyne, for the football pictures, to the faculty and our fellow-students for their hearty co-operation, and to Niall Farley and Tecil Acker, who assisted us with their artistic talents. Especitlly do we thank the business men of the town who, by their advertisements, have made this book a reality. Our work on the “Hassayamper” is done. It is for you to judge whether or not it is worthy a place among the annals of Prescott High.

Page Twenty-Seven THE HASSAYAMPER Page Twenty-Eight THE HASSAYAMPER Class History Four short years ago, at the opening of the school term, our army of “sprouts” assembled, in talkative yet furtive, awestruck groups, anticipating the worst, and keeping as close together as possible, ascended the steps of the historic old High School building. Under the scornful scrutiny of the upper classes we were duly enrolled, and began our brief career as High School students. Very sotin, however, we became fully acclimated and be- gan to consider ourselves a very important part of the institution. Not wholly without cause, either, since we, fifty in number, constituted over half of it. We organized and elected the following as officers: Jack Miller. President; Helen Riebling, Vice-President, and Mary King, Secretary and Treasurer. At the end of each period we held a meeting and dance to ex- pose the ease-loving and to praise the industrious. Of the last mentioned class we had many eminent examples. These affairs were always entirely successful and consequently riotous, although we had to strongly guard our eats on account of the unscrupulousness of the upper classes. An un- successful “hazing” campaign was waged against us; only three unfortu- nate victims had their bonny locks clipped. This year we were represented on the football field but not in dramatics, except in the school operetta, in which we formed the bulk of the chorus. However, in our public speaking exercises we gave promise of future dramatists. The curtain lifts on us again as Sophomores. Only twenty-eight of our original number responded to the initial roll call. Nevertheless, what we had lost in numbers we had regained in dignity, seriousness and loyalty to our cause, graduation. For officers this year we elected “Brick Thomp- son. a recent addition to the class, President: Muriel I ucker Vice-Pres- ident, and Jennie Healy, Secretary and 1 reasurer. I his year we took a more prominent part in school affairs: we were ably represented on the gridiron and in basketball: we furnished several principals for the operetta. Throughout this year we continued our custom of period meetings, besides which we had many other functions, such as picnics and dances. We advanced rapidly in every line during our Sophomore year, and the pros- perous issue of this advance was our remarkable Junior year. The opening of the 1915 school year found twenty-six of our faithful crew on board our ship, bound for graduation, and ready for duty. M c elected the following as officers: Mason Paine. President: Melita Meade, Vice-President, and Margaret McGrew, Secretary and Treasurer. This year Page Twenty-Nine THE HASSAYAMPER was one continuous round of pleasure and success in society, athletics and studies. We gave numerous dances throughout the year, but our Prom- enade in honor of the departing Seniors was the crowning event. It was the first of its kind to be given in the new High School building. Over seventy- five couples attended and all complimented us on the success of our Prom.” Our Junior play, All the Comforts of Home,” was also given in the auditorium of our new building. It represented long and hard but well-repaid work, for the unanimous decision (Seniors excepted) was that it eclipsed every dramatic performance of its kind up-to-date, and would probably (althought we hope not) remain an untouched standard of ex- cellence in the future. This year has been the busiest and happiest of all, althought it is not yet completed as this small volume goes to press; we still have before us the most joyous and yet the saddest part of our High School career, our graduation. The officers we elected at the beginning of the year are: Edwin Sines, President; Muriel Tucker, Vice-President; Millie Marks, Secretary, and Joe Andres, Treasurer. The treasurer resigned and left school to accept a position in a bank, but he continued his school work under private instructions, and will graduate with the class. Jim Smith was elected to fill the vacancy. Our Senior year is a credit to us. We are proud of our accomplish- ments. Seriousness in our studies, joy in our diversions and earnestness in everything have been evident 'characteristics. As was befitting and proper, we won the beautiful silver trophy cup offered to the winning team of the boys’ interclass basketball contest. Before the final game of the series was played, the girls tendered the boys a banquet. After the final game, the boys reciprocated and gave the girls a banquet and dance, a feast of rejoicing. The trophy occupied the center of the table and was used as a loving cup. We have our graduation week, with the Junior Prom included, to look forward to. The Senior hop is still to be given, and likewise our play, “Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford.” It is considered one of the best on the market, and with the unequaled talent which we displayed in our Junior play, we should give the public the best amateur performance that has ever been put on the boards in Prescott. Of these four years, perhaps the happiest, certainly the most critical of our lives, in which our ideals of life have been founded, of these four years spent in the delightful surroundings of P. H. S., we shall nurse Page Thirty THE HASSAYAMPER a perpetual fond remembrance. To the kind teachers who have helped us through, we shall ever remain grateful. Of the dear friends and school- mates whom we must now leave, we will think often. We must go on to sterner duties and leave the many pleasures of P. H. S., hut the dear old school will always hold a soft corner in our hearts. J. P. S„ T6. Page Thirty-One THE HASSAYAMPER Well! Well! Look who’s here! Who? The JUNIORS of course. The leading class of P. H. S. (?) Our splendid record is not one to be despised, but rather to be envied. We have set an example of class unity, hearty co-operation and good fellowship. We have true class spirit. (?) Our social activities have been numerous. W e have made a scintil- lating showing in athletics, both in foot ball and basket ball. I he Junior girls comprise the greater part of the school team, which holds the Northern State championship. The same is true of the boys. (?) 1 he beautiful silver cup, won in the interclass series by our girls, speaks for itself of our ability at basketball. We were ably represented on the football gridiron, a member of the Junior class being elected captain. Until now we have had no chance to demonstrate our dramatic ability, but we hope to make a success of our class play, “Stop Thief.” Here’s to the class of 1917! May you always be recorded with esteem in the annals of the Prescott High School! K. C—117.

Though no flaming record we’ve made, If record you base on our grade: When football time came, Our class gained much fame. Dear Alma Mater. Now two years of High School have passed, Though we’ve not advanced very fast, We re still twenty-eight, Not afraid of our fate. Dear Alma Mater. With hearts that are loyal and true.

From out of the little, old log cabin stepped a beautiful young woman. ; Her straight, slender figure was outlined for a time against the dark in- terior of the one little room in which she and her young husband lived, j The early afternoon sun fell lovingly upon her bright hair and simple. dress, and under its glorious rays the dress appeared indeed very plain i and often mended ; but her hair glistened and the gentle breeze blew the little curling wisps about her fair face, so that she appeared to be a lovely ] princess, escaped from her court to live a wonderfully free, if simple, life on these plains. Her sweet, sensitive lips were in keeping with her eyes, deep violet pools, deeply expressing of every passing thought. As she gazed out over the grass-covered plains, her eyes brightened, and her lips parted as she beheld the wonderful black horse, in whose veins ran the blood of kings of his kind. Arab was standing still, his proud head thrown back, and his great love for the beautiful young mis- tress, who ruled his domain, shown by the impatient toss of his magnificent head, and eagerness with w hich he awaited her approach. With one joyous bound Betty started running towards him, her arm� outstretched. Arab started with a rush and shrill whinnying to meet her. the black satin coat of his powerful body gleaming in the sun with each great leap. Then Betty sprang on his back and away they flew like the wind over the plains. Betty thought of her uncle's home in Kentucky, where she had spent the greater part of her life. She remembered the beautiful horses he had Page Thirty-Bight THE HASSAYAMPER •md a vivid picture arose before her of a clay when her uncle had shown her the wild and unruly outlaw colt who was the despair and yet the pride of all the trainers. Betty, accustomed as she was to beautiful an- imals, had gazed in awe at this wonderful beast. Arab seemed to have inherited all the wildness, grace and beauty of the kingly Arabian line from which he had descended. Then had come a daring thought, and there had followed months of patient training, and a great love had grown up between them. Betty laughed and patted the horse as she recalled her uncle's astonishment when she had proudly ridden up on Arab. As a reward and a present her uncle had given Arab to her when she and her husband left for the West. As thus she thought, the moments had flown and Betty saw the neighboring ranch lying before her. In another moment she slipped from her horse at the gate and was greeted gaily by the rancher’s pretty daughter, who had recently arrived from the East. After the little con- ventionalities had been exchanged, Miss Worton said, “Tell me, Mrs. Con- don, why it is that you are all so fond of the est and already I feel a love for it?” ... f _ Bettv thought a moment, gazing afar off at the wide expanse ot plains with the mountains in the background. “It’s very hard to express my fondness for this country, but the biggest thing about it is the needom. Out here one has room to develop one's own individuality, and is no compelled to plod along in the narrow grooves of conventionality, where all lie’s own real self is crushed out by the cruel hand of opinion. Here one can just throw back one's shoulders, stretch out ones arms, and strength and courage undreamed of before makes one stronger and more willing to battle with life and its hardships. All the best that is in one is brought out bv the atmosphere of freedom, daily lived in by a west- erner It is this breath of glorious liberty wafted to us from the splendid . « . . .« . i i___ ” f 1 D x 'Uioc tUof mol’PC lie InvP flip Ost.

The sun was setting as she rode in nil the .country was there another such Betty immediately started home. _„ � A 4-Ua Tr� f in H1 Page Thirty-Nine THE HASSAYAMPER the sky was slowly turning a glorious gold. The sinking sun seemed to make the mountain top light up as though it wore a wonderful jeweled crown. Betty caught her breath at the beauty of the scene. Then she let the horse go into the canyon, where he grazed, and went into the house to prepare their simple supper. Half an hour later, worried because her husband had failed to return, Betty stepped to the window. She had not yet lighted a lamp as the dusk had not settled. She stood still, frozen with horror, for as she gazed she saw the bushes move and then suddenly a half dozen Indians began creeping toward the house, having left their horses in the distance. For one terrible moment Betty remembered her husband—ihad he been over- taken by them and slain? A daring thought came to her and she slipped quietly out the back door, racing toward the shelter of the trees. Having reached them in safety she stealthily made her way, breathlessly watching the creeping figures. She gained the canyon at last where Arab roamed. She dared not whistle to him, so she wandered about hoping for a glimpse of his beautiful body. Then she saw him, standing at the edge of a stream, which ran out of the little canyon. Betty sprang on the back of her horse. Talking to him and patting him, she urged Arab to speed faster than he ever had before, and lie understood and responded. Betty, glanced over her shoulder and saw the home she loved so dearly in flames, and then she frantically urged Arab on and on for the Indians had seen her and were rushing toward their horses. Betty’s heart almost suffocated her when she heard the terrible warwhoop of the pursuing Indians. Then she saw a riderless horse coming across the plain. Where was the rider she so much sought—the boy's face she longed to see? Sick and faint, she coaxed her horse on across the seemingly endless waste of prairie. Suddenly the mighty horse leaped high in the air and a black object flew past under him. When he could slow enough to turn they wheeled about and came back. Soon Betty gave a little cry of joy and pain, for there lay her husband, his face white with pain and apprehension. She 'slipped from her horse and putting her arms about him attempted to raise him. But he was badly wounded and he begged her to leave him. “Go, dear, there is time for you to escape, but he could never make it with us both.” “Yes, he can, but we must hurry. They're coming,” replied Betty frantically. Her husband recognized in her simple answer her great determination, and without a word he allowed her to help him gain Arab’s back. Arab realized that someone else was upon him, but he knew that his mistress was there, too. He rushed on across the plain, conscious that Betty was calling him and that he must respond in spite of his double load. He had never run as fast as he could and now he ran faster than ever before. The Indians were shooting at them, and the bullets flew fast, and again came the sound of their horrible whoop. Arab rushed madly, exalting in the power of his great, sleek limbs. Page Forty THE HASSAYAMPER Betty prayed fervently and whispered words of endearment to her husband. A faint speck loomed up in the distance. Could they reach it__that faint speck, which meant safety. The sentinels have seen them and have given the alarm and the gates are opened. A detachment of soldiers rush out and pursue the Indians, who have turned and fled across the plain. Through the open gate the great king speeds and to the far end of the fort before he washable to stop. The young man has slipped off his back and lies unconscious on the ground. Betty slips her arm around Arab's drooping head, and laugh- ingly, yet sobbingly whispers, Arab, the great king.” A crowd of soldiers surrounds them and great excitement reigns. The colonel pats the horse and exclaims, Heavens, what a king of a horse!” Arab's heaving sides, quivering nostrils and drooping head are evidences of the difficult race he has won. Then realizing her husband’s condition, Betty runs to her husband and lifts his head in her arms. Kindly hands assist them and the surgeon takes the husband to the hospital, assuring Betty that the wound is not dangerous. Several weeks later Betty and Jim rode toward their home. Arriving there they found it in ashes, but Betty remembered a little old abandoned cabin she had once seen when she had gone into the canyon, so to this the couple went. The next morning they went out to feed Arab. They saw him, high above them on the side of the canyon. Betty whistled to him and, seeing her, Arab whinnied, and picking his way carefully, he scrambled down, bringing an avalanche of dirt with him. Jim had been tossing little pebbles into the stream and he now picked up one which had rolled down the side of the canyon. “Betty,” he gasped, “look here—glory, dear, it’s gold.” Then slipping his arm about the excited girl, he added playfully, “Now you shall have all the books you want, and a piano, and everything else. And Arab,” they both put their arms about the horse's neck, “you shall have all the loaf sugar you can eat. It was you, Oh, King, who first saved us and now have given us our all.” Page Forty-One THE HASSAYAMPER It Is Not Always Bullets That Kill CHARLES BORNE.—’17. On a cold winter night in January, just after a heavy snow and rain, the German army of about eight hundred thousand stood in the icy trenches awaiting the attack of the Allies, who were entrenched on the mountain ridge. The Allies were also in the cold trenches, filled with ice water, awaiting the fire of the German guns. It was cold, silent and dark except for the huge searchlights that swept the sky constantly in search of airships. The brains of this great human machine were all in snug little under- ground caves enjoying cards and fine French wine. “Well show the Allies a little fighting tomorrow. We have them outnumbered by about a hundred thousand and I’ll take their trench if it takes every man we have. That will give me a medal and a higher rank,’’ said one of the officers. “That's exactly the game! If this war ever ends we can take life easy. We must win at any cost.” A different scene was being enacted out in the trenches. “God! Fritz,” said one, “I wish they would shoot me. My legs are numb to my hips, and even my heart feels as tho it were made of ice. I am freezing to death. If you are lucky enough to get out of this alive, and home again, 1 want you to do me one favor. Tell my wife, for the love of God, to take little Hans to America, where there is no more warfare. Oh! my home, my wife, my little Hans.” As he muttered these words he grew rigid and stiff. He was dead, standing in the trench with his head bent over against the bank. When day came the big guns began to smoke, and send out their rain of death to both armies. The Red Cross ambulances drove up along the trenches to be filled and refilled with dead and wounded. At last, when all was quiet again, the Germans were in the Allies' trenches. The officers were again in a snug little cave, drinking and gambling, when a knock was heard at the door. A guard opened the door, a Red Cross messenger entered, and handed the general a report from the chief surgeon. The general read, “five thousand, three hundred and fifty wound- ed and killed by bullets. Ten thousand and five frozen to death.” Page Forty-Two THE HASSAYAMPER The Cameo Lady BLANCHE E. SHELDON.—’18. One evening as I was sitting in a large cabaret at a little table alone, I happened to glance across the room, where my eyes met one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Sitting there at a table was a lady motionless as a statue, with beautiful golden hair, a soft, white and pink complexion, a perfect profile. Behind her hung a pearl gray curtain. I was watching her very closely, trying to think what she reminded me of, when I noticed she was very sad, a large tear would come to the surface of her eye. quiver a moment, then fall gently down her soft cheek. I was alone, and so was she. After much hesitation I got up from my table and walked slowly toward her. It seemed as if a magic power was drawing me there. As I neared her table, I was in hopes she would move; but she sat still, seeming to be unaware of my approach. I was now standing by her table when I found myself saying: “Pardon me. I am very lonely, and you loo kvery sad. May I sit here and have my lunch served?” Her eyes looked up into mine, and it was then I noticed them to be a beautiful blue. She did not speak, but looked at me as if she were searching for something, then slowly nodded her dainty head, in assent. I sat down, but felt rather nervous, wondering what subject to begin on, what would be interesting to her, how to say it. When the waiter came, I heard her voice for the first time, it was very low and sweet, but, oh, so sad. I tried to eat, but was very uneasy, and wished I were at my own table, when she looked at me, her eyes full of tears. I then asked, “Why are you so sad. when everything around us is so gay?” She did not speak but lowered her head. I sat as still as the lady; after a pause she spoke. “I am a stranger. I am lonely for the friendship of others: I have never known what it is to choose my friends: that has always been un- derstood. You see, I am from another country: everything here is very new to me but, oh. it can only last until I—until T—I—am found. I have heard of the Americans and their easy-going life, the friendship between man and man. But, you see I—” She did not finish but stared straight ahead, as tho looking for something that seemed so very near and yet far away, when her lips moved and she said: “I wish I could express my happiness in some way other than tears. I have never been happy so T don't know what else to do.” “You poor girl! Have you been mistreated?” T asked, becoming very interested. “No, T have just been the opposite, always watched to see that I am in perfect comfort, and that no one but the—” She paused. Just then I heard a loud noise. The news boys rushed Page Forty-Three THE HASSAYAMPER in calling, “Extry! Extry! The princess of Almantia has disappeared and is now thought to be in New York. Read the details.” I did not have time to buy a paper—the lady had fainted. I rushed to her, lifted her gently, and as I did so, her warm body, her pale cheeks, her perfect lips, her soft hair, made such a lovely picture that, as I glanced up and saw the pearl gray curtain behind her, there was only one thought re-echoing in my mind—A cameo set in pearls! When she revived, her first words were: “All my happiness is gone— I am discovered. Go! do not let my father, the King of Almantia, see you or he will think that you lured me away from my home. Go—go, I beg of you, he will kill you in his anger. But,” her voice sank to a whisper, “I will always think of you.” She then disappeared thru the pearl gray curtain, and my cameo lady was gone.

Well, if you is, I’d like t’have about three or four of them.

Well, I got ter be movin’ home. That there Algernon'll be throwing a fit, if his sup- per ain’t ready. How’s the family, Mr. Bartlett? Well, good afternoon.” Mrs. Hamilton bustled out of the entrance. For almost a minute after she disappeared, Mr. Bartlett leaned limply against the counter. At the other end of which his young clerk was vainly trying to smother a fit oi laughter. “By-the-way, Harve, do you know this young man from the East?” “Yes, sir. He’s the son of old H. Morgan Jones, the Boston shipping baron, who died recently and left the lucky kid something over twenty mil- lion to amuse himself with. He’s a nice fellow tho, in spite of the evil influence of his bank account.” “Does he play football?” “No, he really has something wrong with his lungs. He spends all his spare time riding over the hills on horseback, or touring the country in that big racer of his. He is going to get into trouble one of these days, if he doesn’t stop going over into Mexico so much. We ll find his remains in some arroya some day, like Riley’s were back in ’96.” Some time after the above conversation took place in the store, in Tucson, Arizona, Algernon Jones, (or Al, as he was popularly known), was speeding over a beautiful stretch of cactus bordered road, that led past the lovely country home of the Middleton family, situated about forty miles south of Tucson. As he drove by the vine-covered bungalow, Al saw a white figure come out on the porch. The big car ground to a stop, and the young man stepped quickly out and ran to the gate. “Why, Marge, I didn’t know you were out here! hat s the matter with school?” “Nothing serious. T burned my hand with acid in chemistry, and I came home until it healed a little.” “Gee, I’m sorry. Aren’t the folks here?” “Mother is, but Dad has gone to Yuma to a cattle raisers convention. Page Forty-Five THE HASSAYAMPER Dad is forgetting all about the city; he is a very enthusiastic cattleman now.” “But doesn't he know, dear, that he ought not leave two women here alone, when people are being murdered all the time by those da-------- darned raiders ? We have the hired men, Al.” “Yes. and most of those are Mexicans. 1 would bet my fortune to a second-hand jit that every one would help the first hunch of raiders that came along to burn the place and scalp you. I am going south a few miles, and if there are any bandoleros approaching I'll come back.” Oh, please be careful. Al. Do you really think they will come soon? You won't go too far, will you, Boy, and do hurry.” The next minute Al was lost in a cloud of dust. Majory gazed after him for a long time before going back into the house. All the beauty of tl e morning was gone, and a strange foreboding settled upon her. Awful thoughts of what might happen to her lover filled her mind. She coidd see him lying bleeding in the dust of the road, and a troop of horsemen gal- loping over the hills toward the lonely little ranch. She shuddered, and tried to keep her mind occupied with her household duties. At luncheon she tried to appear as usual, for she did not wish to wor- ry her mother with the events of the morning. She listened constantly for the throb of the racer's engine. The afternoon passed without incident, and at the setting of the sun, when the desert was aflame with glowing colors, she could endure the strain no longer. She hurriedly saddled her pony, and once on the dusty road she slapped the little animal, so that he flew across the desert sand like the wind. She had ridden about five miles, and it was growing rather dark, when suddenly she saw a dark object lying in the road. At her touch the horse hounded toward that which must surely be the car. While Marjory was trying so hard to drive unpleasant thoughts away, a particular friend of hers was also experiencing some difficulty in keeping his mind agreeably occupied. By the time he had driven a mile from the Middleton Rancho he had thought about the possibility of a raid so long that he actually expected that undesirable event to happen, and now and then as he glanced at the side of the road, he found himself involuntarily looking for a sombrero to appear from behind every bush and boulder, and for a swarm of armed villains to avalanch down on him from every hil- lock. His fears grew so keen that several times he almost turned around to go back, but succeeded in forcing himself to drive a little farther. He must know for sure that there were enemies within striking distance if he expected to induce the calm-minded mother of his sweetheart to accompany him. with her daughter, back to Tucson. Why should he hesitate to go even to the border if necessary? He had often driven there without thought of danger. The young autoist was speeding along the straight stretch, and all his attention was centered on the wheel, when he heard a splintering crash, and Page Forty-Six THE HASSAYAMPER he knew that a lamp had been broken. Then for a second or so he was fairly submerged in flying bullets. He tried to speed up a little more, but as he pressed his foot firmly on the throttle, another crash came. He felt himself lifted out of the seat as if by a giant hand, he saw a great light, and then all was darkness. Some hours after his last glimpse of the beautiful sunlight, Algernon Jones, sprawled out on the malapai rocks, a few yards from the road, groaned and opened his eyes. “What the—where am I? What's the matter with my head? Oh, gee, Al, old kid. look at that monster flying up there.” After a few moments his head cleared somewhat, and he began to think over the occurrences and circumstances which had brought him there. He looked around for the racer, and soon saw it a few feet from him, rather battered in appearance. He made several very painful attempts to rise, but was forced to give it up, and merely lay on his back gazing at the darkening sky, and wondering what had become of the source of those bullets. Suddenly he sensed the pounding of hoofs, and he sat up very quickly. “Bandits,” he said aloud, “that’s what I came to find. Guess I found them all right, wonder why they are coming back?” Then the heard the welcome cry: “Oh, Boy. are you hurt? It's Marge, Dear. The raiders are camped in the arrovo: they haven't been near our place. Come, see if you can get on Chiquita. Oh, Al. I’ve been so frightened 1” The most beautiful girl in all the world took his aching head in her arms, and kissed the happy boy, as only the most beautiful girl can. Page Forty-Seven THE HASSAYAMPER Whose Fault Was It? MARY KING.—’16. “Dear Cousin Leonard!” The pretty girl in the nobby blue suit, bounded up to the tall young man, who had just stepped off the eastern train. As she spoke she tilted back her head, and raised two rosy lips invitingly. And he—well, what else could he do? “I told Mother I would know you the minute I laid eyes on you,” she volunteered. “Come right over here. I came down in the car.” “But------” “Of course you have a trunk. How careless of me to forget. Just give your check to this man, he will bring it over in a hurry. You see, almost everyone knew we were expecting you.” “But, my dear girl---------” “Oh, don’t fear. We will keep everything quiet at home when you want to write.” “Write?” “Yes. Your new book, you know. Mother thought this would be an excellent place for you to finish it. Such an abundance of nature, and unspoiled material. All that sort of thing, you know. But please let’s hurry. 1 am so anxious for you to tell me about your work.” She started briskly across the small platform toward a low roadster standing at one end. The man gazed bewilderedly after her, then, with a resolute squaring of his shoulders, and if it must be admitted, with a twinkle in his eye, he followed. As they glided away the girl again opened the conversation. “You will excuse me if I don't take you straight home, won’t you? The Civic Improvement Club meets today with mother. She wanted them to postpone it, but they were going to start a petition to the Mayor, asking him to make Mrs. Maloy keep her two bad boys from throwing rocks on ihe street, and they didn’t want to wait. I really think they and everyone were simply dying to meet a celebrity. Mother said perhaps you would under- stand, since you were such a busy man yourself. Besides it's just the kind of a day to show you the country. If you see anything that looks like sub- ject-matter for your book, just say so, and I will stop.” The man cleared his throat, but settled back without speaking, while the ghost of a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. “You know,” she confided, “I really thought that you were much older than you look. I was named Lenora for your father, you know, be- cause he was so good to Dad, when he was just a young man. The folks have often told me how he started Dad in business. Whenever they men- tion you they speak in a brotherly sort of way. But then, I suppose your Page Forty-Eight THE HASSAYAMPER literary work lias kept you young in appearance while your head is really older. “I suppose,” he acquiesced. “Mother described you very carefully to me before I went to the sta- tion. Only she thought you had a moustache. It's a good thing she told me you usually wore gray, because 1 didn’t listen very carefully. They spun along the quiet country road, becoming better acquainted with each mile. The girl forsook her wisest tone, and became the care- free sould she really was. The man overcame his apparent bewilderment, and chatted gaily in nonsense not becoming to a literary genius. A punc- ture caused them some delay, but since their destination was Nowhere-in- particular, they were not inconvenienced. The man applied patches and manipulated air-pumps far better than writer ever wielded a pen. When they were once more upon the road, the sun was seeking a resting place among the far off hills. The girl turned the car around, and they spun past meadows and farmhouses in quick succession. In a short time ttu houses became more frequent until, when the shadows had deepened into gloom, they drove up before a bungalow, aglow with light. 1 he girl jumped lightly out but the man's uneasiness had returned and he held back. “Aren’t you coming?” she asked. Really, Miss Lenora, I—” Lenora. is that you?” called a voice from the doorway. “Yes, Mother. We’re home.” before the man could continue, an anxious faced woman ran down to the car, followed more leisurely by two men, one large and jovial, the other tall and dignified in a grey suit. “Where have you been, child? Cousin Leonard came right up from the train and he said-” “Cousin Leonard ? Why I thought-1 Leonora turned indignantly toward the occupant of the car, but he was not there. “Why did you run away last night ?” Leonora looked up at the good- looking voung man, whom her friend, Pauline, had introduced as )rot icr Jerry’s room-mate at Yale.” . “Well, you see.

Page Forty-Nine THE HASSAYAMPER The Call MURIEL TUCKER.—’16. Night, silent beautiful night, spread its mantle over the little fain- glen, and wrapped the whole scene in a cloak of mystery and charm. The moonbeams caressed the trees, the ferns, and the fragrant hawthorne bushes, that grew there in profusion. What stories of moonlight fairies, of the elfins in the trees and flowers, the faithful moon could tell. Yet she smiles down upon sorrow and happiness alike, and cherishes it all in her heart. 1 think the moon must have been particularly happy this per- fect night, for surely her beams danced more gaily, and kissed the blossoms more tenderly. The stream gurgled merrily, and its melody united with that of the jolly little cricket fiddlers, stirred the tiny creatures to life. Each little elf smoothed his green jacket, and slipped from his glistening leaf-home; the fairies with their iridescent wings, shyly one by one crept out from the chalice of a flower. They joined hands with the moon-beams, and began to dance. The brook laughed more loudly ; the crickets drew their bows across the strings rapturously in accompaniment. The dancers pulsated with joy as they whirled and reeled over the velvet grass in their wild pleasure. Thus the fairies held their revel in the shady little glade in old Ireland. And only the moon was witness, and she will never tell. Suddenly the ballet of the fairies ceased, and all except the stream, and the crickets became quiet, and even they softened their melodies to almost a low, sad lament. Human voices had been heard, human eyes sought the beauty of the glen. The fairies folded their wings and settled themselves comfortably, for these two beings, who were so calmly seating themselves on the grass, had evidently come to stay awhile. “How good it is to be in this dear old glen once more ! How wonder- ful to return to Ireland and to you!’’ murmured Terry to Eileen, “and now that we are here. 1 will tell you all, colleen. “As long as the dear old mother lived I was content because I knew she needed me. But when she went to her rest, and the farm was all mine, I felt a restlessness creep over me which 1 could not overcome. The longing for something different, a broader, better manner of living, filled my soul. Our parents did the same things, cultivated the same lands, and struggled with the same problems that their parents had before them. But I knew life must be different for us. And so. Asthore, I sold the old home, took my meager store of gold, and set out for the land of opportunity. “It'was hard to leave, but hope lightened the burden for us, didn’t it? When I boarded that great liner, and my feet left this soil, it seemed as if everything worth while was being left behind; and at night, when I stood at the railing of the ship and looked out over the endless water, home seemed very far away. “But if I was homesick then, Eileen, in that great city my heart simply Page Fifty THE HASSAYAMPER burst with longing. Sure it is wonderful, but, oh, you cannot imagine the loneliness when among thousands of people not one is a friend. When there is no kind Father Patrick to put his arm gently across your shoulders and say, T knew your mother, lad, and what she suffered for you; don't make her unhappy in heaven.' It is more liable to be a hearty clap on the back with a Come on, be a sport.' You do not know New York, dear, and my poor speech can never paint a picture vivid enough to make you understand. It takes a master to describe the great buildings piercing the very sky, the streets ever crowded with the restless, enthusiastic throng. The minute one enters the busy harbor one receives the impression of immensity of haste. Its long thoroughfares, where the sun is shut out much of the time, the sultry at- mosphere, the shops, the parks, everything is so strange and different from Ireland. Those first days were torture. All day I walked those friendless streets, looking for work, accosting every type of humanity, most of whom were too busy with their own affairs to pay any attention whatso- ever to me. At night I went to my bare, lonely room, too weary to think. “At last 1 found work in the steel mills, where a strong man was needed. Things were easier then. 1 felt it was the first step toward my goal, and I put my very soul into my work. One day as I was pushing those heavy strips of steel into my ma- chine, three men stopped beside me. One was the boss, the second a fat financier, and the third a man as large as myself, muscular, and brown as a Mexican. But you have never seen a Mexican. Well, perhaps some day yau will. His friendly manner attracted me at once; he shook hands with me, regardless of the dirt, and said he was an admirer of good muscles. “That evening I was surprised to meet him at the gate as I left the factory. He fell into step with me, and before I realized it, by careful questioning, he had my whole story. “'So,' lie said, ‘you have come here to make a fortune.' Well, you might do it in this dirty city, if you worked hard enough, and are fortu- nate. But. Lord, at what a cost!' As he spoke he turned and glanced back at the mills, ugly, unclean, the tools of disease and death. “ ‘This is not America,’ he cried: 'real America is the land out there in the West, where the mountains are the sky-scrapers, where the air is pure and clear, and where one can live and breathe without bumping elbows.’ “Then he told me of the mine he was starting to work in Arizona, of its possibilities, and of the fascination of the great industry. His words filled me with a desire to have a part in working that mine. And finally be asked me to go back with him and offered me a job at twice the wages I was getting in the mills, with every chance of promotion. I was so happy I could only grasp his hand and mumble that I would go. “We left two days later, and not for a single second have I ever re- gretted my decision. It took some time to become accustomed to the new Page Fifty-One THE HASSAYAMPER country. One must grow into it. It is very different from this beloved isle—a’ startling mixture of desert, fertile fields, mountains and plains. “The mine lies on the side of a hill, which is covered with pines and brush, and at the foot of which there is one of those creeks, so common in Arizona, a tiny stream in fair weather, but during a storm, a raging tor- rent. From the summit of the hill one can look down into the beautiful little valley, in which the city nestles. “We have just finished putting up the machinery, and the camp is now a sight which warms our hearts. It was hard but happy work, and in a surprisingly short time my labor was well rewarded—1 was promoted from time to time. Now I am superintendent of one of the best mines in Arizona, thanks to my kind friend, who was always ready with brotherly advice and encouragement, and the ever present inspiration that came to me from far away across the sea. “I am a busy man now, dear, and have only a few more days of my vacation. Near that mine in Arizona there is a cozy little cabin ; not much like our cottage here, to be sure, but it wants you to see the glorius sunsets from its front porch in summer, and to sit in the glow of the fire in win- ter. I want so much, mavourneen, to teach you to love my new home. Will you go back to share it with me, Eileen?” “The land of opportunity calls me, Terry,” the soft Irish voice whis- pered, “and you must take me with you.” The moon smiled more tenderly than ever; her reign this night had been one of happiness. Page Fifty-Two Page Fifty-Three THE HASSAYAMPER Page Fifty-Four THE HASSAYAMPER Alumni The first Senior class to be graduated from Prescott High School was 1 he class of 3905. Since then ten classes, varying from three to sixteen in number, have gone their way. The members are scattered to the four corners of the globe, some pursuing their education in higher institutions of learning, others engaged in business or professions. Each year a few, unable to resist the magnetic attraction of Prescott, wander back. At present there is quite a group of graduates residing in the city. During the summer of last year, the Alumni organized into an Alumni Association. The officers elected were: President, Gail Gardner; Vice- President, Albert Crawford; Secretary and Treasurer, Nellie Marshall. Several interesting parties and dances stimulated enthusiasm in the or- ganization. During the summer the Alumni presented with market success “What Happened to Jones.” It was given under the direction of Mrs. Hart, with the following cast: Ebenezer Goodly, a Professor of Anatomy--------------------Stanley Paine, TO Matilda Goodly, his wife________________________________Dorothy Drake, ’08 Marjorie Goodly, their daughter_________________________________Ina Riebling, ’13 Minerva Goodly, another daughter_____________________________Nellie Marshall, ’14 Cissy, a ward of Mr. and Mrs. Goodly_______________________Alma Cousins, T4 Alvina Starlight, sister of Mrs. Goodly______________________Jean Elliott, T4 Helma, a Swedish servant girl____________________________Grace Cousins, ’li Richard Heatherby, engaged to Majorie______________________Marvin Piper, T2 Jones, a traveling salesman_______________________________William Lloyd, T3 Holder, a policeman____________________________________Albert Crawford, ’13 Antony Goodly, D.

The staff had hoped to have numerous letters from various Alumni, to make that section of the “Hassavamper” of personal interest. Although the Alumni did not respond readily to our requests, the following notes were gratefully received: Dear Hassayamper: In reply to your letter I send this message: Page Fifty-Five THE HASSAYAMPER “Work not for yourself alone, but do what you can to make life hap- pier for others.” Your friend, THOMAS B. ROSS, U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. Dear Hassayamper: Although it seems ages since I was one of its members, I am still very much interested in the High School. 1 am especially interested in the Alumni, as 1 have seen the proceedings of the Alumni here, and find we are organized in Prescott much as they are here. Hoping that the “Hassayamper, and especially the Alumni section of it will be a success, I am Sincerely your friend, MYRTLE E. STEPHENS, Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Oberlin, Ohio. Page Fifty-Six Exchanges In the art of literary criticism in general, and in that branch particu- larly which applies to High School annuals, there is every chance for unjust criticism, since it is always last year's annuals which are criticised, and the staffs that put them out have graduated and are out of range, so to speak. In this, the first exchange department of the “Hassayamper, we have made a sincere effort to criticize last year's annuals in such a way as to help next year's, and we hope that our attempts will be received and appreciated in accordance with the zeal which prompted them. We recognize the following: “The Mission.' San Francisco, Cal.: “The Phoenician,” Phoenix, Ariz.; “The Tusconian,” Tucson, Ariz.: “The Nuisance,” Martinsville, Ind.: “Nuntius,” Lemoore, Cal.: The Item. Pas- adena, Cal.; “The Papoose,” Globe. Ariz.: The Sentinel, Los Angeles, Cal.; “Totem,” Seattle, Wash., and “Tahoma, Tacoma, Wash. “Nuntius.” Lemoore, Cal. A few more cuts and some snap-shots would liven your publication up. Why not dedicate your book to someone? Jokes in your ads would help. Your organization is good. “The Tusconian,” Tucson, Ariz. An excellent annual. We would sug- Page Fifty-Seven THE HASSAYAMPER gest that the order of class write-ups be Junior-Sophomore-Freshmen in- stead of Freshmen-Sophomore-Junior. But maybe you love your Freshies more than we do ours. “Phoenician,” Phoenix, Ariz. The best book we have seen. (Except- ing ours.) The magazine form and binding makes it bulky and clumsy for ti e reader, tho. Don't spare the pennies too much. The Nuisance,” Martinsville, Ind.

Page Fifty-Eight _ THE HASSAYAMPEK “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy!” '11 e students of P. H. S. believe profoundly in this proverb, as the fol- lowing accounts will show. This school year has been literally crammed with social activities, and a spirit of good fellowship has prevailed, which we hope will continue to grow each year in the history of good old P. H. S. “Pick and Shovel Gang” Dance. After a strenuous day of real work, leveling off the High School ath- letic field, the boys of the so-called Pick and Shovel Gang, not feeling any ill effects from the lunch served them by the girls, gave a dance. It proved to be a decided success, in spite of the fact that the boys were tired from their days’ work. Juniors’ Indoor Picnic. Friday, the twenty-fourth of September, was the day set by the Juniors for an automobile picnic to Granite Dells. The lunches and cars were all ready when Jupiter sent a disappointment in the shape of a gentle rain. This, however, did not dampen their spirits. They took their lunches to the High School, where tthey enjoyed a very private in-door picnic, with dancing afterwards. Senior Box Social. The Seniors, desiring to give the students of P. H. S. a chance for a real good time, and incidentally to earn some money, held an old-time box social on the night of October the first. The girls came bringing prettily Page Fifty-Nine THE HASSAYAMPER decorated boxes, some of them real masterpieces, to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. With Nell Stewart as auctioneer, the boxes went fast, with the exception of one, which mysteriously (?) disappeared. Dancing was enjoyed until eleven, when everyone sought out a quiet corner in which to partake of the “goodies” which were packed in the boxes. After the “eats, dancing was again indulged in, until an early hour of tl e morning. Auto Ride Around the Loop. On the arrival of the Winslow Football and Basketball teams, the stu- dents of P. H. S. got their autos and Fords together to entertain the visitors with a ride around the scenic loop road. While on the ride Winslow band rendered several selections, which were greatly enjoyed by all. Upon the return to Prescott the Winslowites were taken to their hotels to rest up for the strenuous games of the next day. Dance for Winslow. After the Prescott-Winslow football game, the High School entertained the Winslowites at a delightful little dancing party. Towards the close of the evening refreshments were served, then everyone went to tl e train to ste the guests off. Everyone reported a jolly time. Masquerade Dance. On Friday evening, the twenty-ninth of October, the combined classes of Juniors and Sophomores gave a Hallowe'en Masquerade to a few of their friends. Pretty as well as hideous costumes were in evidence, and at the close of a long evening of jollity everybody voted the Juniors and Sopho- mores the best of entertainers. Thanksgiving Day Dance. On Thanksgiving Day, after turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pie and foot- ball. the students of P. H. S. gave a dance for the members of the Flagstaff football team. Although many of the boys of both teams were suffering from scratched faces, black eyes and bruised knees and elbows, everyone seemed to enjoy himself immensely. At the close of an evening of fun all of the students went down to the train to bid the “Lumber Jacks goodbye, and to invite them to come again. Dance for Phoenix. Friday, the tenth of December, the Phoenix basketball team played the P. H. S. team. After the games dancing was made the feature of the cve- Page Sixty THE HASSAYAMPER ning and although the floor was a trifle sticky, the excellent music and the jolly social time that prevailed made the evening an enjoyable one for all. Alumni Ball. One of the most brilliant social events of the season was held on the night of December the twenty-third, just before the Christmas vacation, when the Alumni Association entertained the High School at a dancing party. The High School Auditorium was tastily decorated with blue and gold, and charming programs were in evidence. A feature of the evening was the grand march, which was led by the president of the Alumni Asso- ciation, Gail Gardner, and his partner. Delicious punch was served through- out the evening and many Merry Christmas” toasts were exchanged over the glasses. Athletic Association Box Social. To raise money for the Athletic Association its members gave a box social. “Doc” Pardee was procured for auctioneer and he made the boxes fly. Clever favor and chance dances greatly enhanced the pleasure of the evening. Everyone had a jolly time and a neat sum for the treasury of the Association was realized. Senior Dance. On February the nineteenth the Seniors, chaperoned by Professor and Mrs. Hart, entertained their friends with an informal dance in the High School Auditorium. Many favor dances, appropriate to Washington’s birth- day and St. Valentine’s Day were enjoyed. The “blind-fold” dance was a scream especially when one of the boys found himself dancing with a post instead of a girl. During the Paul Jones, a '16 was formed by the dancers, who immediately gave nine ’rahs for their hosts. Those entertained voted it the most enjoyable evening of the season. Senior Banquet. On the evening of April the fourth, the boys of the Senior basketball team were guests of honor at a party given in the Manual Arts building by the Senior girls. The Senior roo mwas prettily decorated with pennants an I with streamers of our class colors, red and white, while the same color scheme was carried out on the long table, which had for a centerpiece our class basket ball. Place cards bearing small basket balls as favors, marked places for thirty. During the supper speeches were made by Mr. Hart and various members of the class. After eating our fill, we cleared the tables and indulged in dancing until twelve, when everyone adjourned—to the kitchen to wash dishes. But that did not mar our enjoyment of the evening. In fact, it added to it. The boys, upon leaving, declared the girls of T6 “a loyal, royal, jolly good bunch.” M. M.—’16. Page Sixty-One THE HASSAYAMPER The eighth annual Junior play, which was put on the High School stage April 6. added one more to the long list of successful first attempts of our school. The play, “Stop Thief,” is a comedy production by Carlyle Moore. It has a very complex plot, and from start to finish is full of rapid action. The entire cast of Junior Thespians took their parts very creditably and showed promise of good material for their Senior dramatic appearance. DRAMATIC PERSONAE.

We were greatly handicapped owing to the small size of our men and their lack of experience. In all our games we were outweighed by our opponents, and in one game had to play virtually two teams, as they kept putting in fresh men against us and our men could not stand up before their attacks. This caused our only defeat of the season and lost our chance for the State Championship. FIRST FLAGSTAFF GAME. On Friday, October the 39th, the football team left for Flagstaff to play the first game of the season with the Flagstaff Normal School. On their arrival in Flagstaff the team immediately went to their rooms for a good night’s sleep before the coming battle on the morrow. The team was accompanied by a few rooters of the blue and gold. FIRST QUARTER. Prescott received the ball and advanced it to the thirty-five yard line. Prom there they made a steady advance to Flagstaff’s two-vard line, where they were halted on downs. McKee carried the ball over the line for the first touchdown. Thompson kicked the goal. Prescott kicked, and Flag- staff advanced the ball to the forty-yard line. Flagstaff lost the ball for not making their yards. Prescott advanced the leather to the twenty-yard line. I he Mile High City could not gain on line bucks, but on a forward pass Penn carried the pigskin for another touchdown. No goal. SECOND QUARTER. Magstaff received the ball, advanced it only a few yards, and lost it for not making their yards. Prescott advanced it to Flagstaff's twenty- yard line. On successful end runs and trick plays Prescott carried the ball to Flagstaff’s four-yard line, where it was passed over the line to Cain for another score. No goal. Flagstaff received the ball. A few minutes later they were nearly pushed over their own goal line. Braunt punted, and the ball went into play on the twenty-eight-vard line in Prescott’s posses- sion. Penn was seen tearing down the field with the pigskin under his arm for another touchdown. No goal. THTRD QUARTER. Flagstaff kicked to Prescott and for the next five minutes of play the spectators saw some real football. Prescott in possession of the ball, Pax Sixty-Bight THE HASSAYAMPER reached Flagstaff’s eight-yard line. Thompson, on an open shift play, car- ried the hall over the line, but failed to kick a goal. FOURTH QUARTER. I rescott received the ball but lost it on an unsuccessful forward pass Later Smith, playing a defensive half, seeing the ball soaring through the air in his direction, and could not be seen for dust as in the rapid strides he carried the ball safely behind the bars. Thompson kicked a goal. Prescott fumbled on the forty-yard line, and one of Flagstaff's men seeing the leather rolling on the ground, claspeci it in his arms and never stopped until he landed it behind the goal for Flagstaff's only touchdown Score: P. H. S----------------38 Flagstaff________6 A dance was given that evening by the Flagstaff Normal School in our honor. SECOND GAME. The next morning the boys left for Winslow. Upon their arrival the team was gi en an automobile ride to a famous Indian trading post. FIRST QUARTER. Prescott received the ball and was downed on the thirty-five yard line. Steady gains were made up the field, but the ball was lost on a fum- ble. Winslow carried the pigskin down the field. Prescott intercepted a pass and punted. Winslow lost the ball, and Prescott advanced it up the held, hitting Winslow's line for good gains. Winslow regained it on a fumble and was forced to punt. SECOND QUARTER. Intercepting a pass, Prescott advanced the ball up the field by using line plunges and trick plays. Penn carried the ball over for Prescott's first touchdown. Prescott kicked. Winslow attempted another forward pass but was unsuccessful. There in rapid succession Prescott scored twice, success- fully kicking goal each time. THIRD QUARTER. Prescott received, made a steady advance up the field, scored again, as the result of a forward pass, and kicked goal. FOURTH QUARTER. W inslow came back at us with great strength, but despite this fact I rcscott again scored and succeeded in kicking the goal. Score: P. H. S---------34 Winslow________0 p“ e Sixty-Nine THE HASSAYAMPER THE WINSLOW GAME. The return game with Winslow was played on the home gridiron on Friday, October 23. The Winslow boys were taken for an auto ride around the loop upon their arrival in our city. FIRST QUARTER. Prescott received the ball and was downed on the forty-yard line. Cain, our end, made a thirty-yard run up the field. 1 he next ten minutes saw the pigskin in possession of both teams, who played close and wide end runs with a few trick plays. The quarter ended with the ball in Pres- cott’s possession. SECOND QUARTER. On a series of close end runs and line plunges Prescott scored her first touchdown. Prescott used every play they had, and all seemed to work, as another score was added to the first one. THTRD QUARTER. In this quarter Winslow came within striking distance of scoring, hut Prescott suddenly awoke and made another touchdown. FOURTH QUARTER. Nothing of importance happened during this period. Roth teams came verv nea. scoring but were unable to carry the ball on. The game ended with a score of 18 to 0 in Prescott's favor. A dance was given that evening in the High School Auditorium in honor of the Winslow boys. THE PHOENIX GAME. FIRST QUARTER. Prescott received and advanced the leather to the forty-yard line. Forward passes bv Prescott carried the ball in reach of Phoenix’s twentv- vard line. Prescott failed to make their yards and Phoenix, due to their greater weight, scored. Prescott again received and by using forward passes made a big advance up the field, but lost to Phoenix, who added another score in favor of the coyotes. SECOND QUARTER. The quarter started with the hall in Phoenix’s possession on the twentv-vard line. Phoenix was finally forced to punt. Prescott still usins; the aerial attacks, advanced the ball twenty yards but lost to Phoenix on a fumble. In the last part of the quarter Phoenix scored twice. THTRD QUARTER. Prescott, after a few minutes of rest, came back strong, and on a short Page Seventy THE HASSAYAMPER pass to McKcc made their first touchdown. After receiving the ball Pres- cott carried it up the field by using trick plays and forward passes. On an end run Prescott made their second touchdown. FOURTH QUARTER. Nothing happened in this quarter to gladden the hearts of the Prescott rooters. Phoenix scored again and Prescott could not advance the ball. The game ended with a score of 32 to 13 in favor of Phoenix. A dance in our honor was given that evening at the Phoenix High School. THE FLAGSTAFF GAME. On Thanksgiving day, before a crowd of some six hundred football fans, Prescott and Flagstaff Normal staged one of the best and hardest fought contests that has ever been seen upon the home gridiron. Prescott was outweighed by the Normalites, but with the aid of two of the Alumni the boys held their own against the lumberjacks. FIRST QUARTER. Flagstaff received and ran the ball back to the thirty-five yard line. After advancing the ball twenty yards they lost the leather for failing to make their yards. A forward pass by Prescott netted them twenty yards, and when things began to look good for a touchdown Flagstaff lightened up and Prescott failed to make their yards. Flagstaff punted and by a series of forward passes and line smashes, the ball was advanced to the visitors’ five-yard line. Thompson carried the ball around right end for the first touchdown. Prescott’s try at the goal was unsuccessful. Prescott kicked, and the lumberjacks advanced the ball to the thirty-yard line. End runs and line smashes were used and for a few minutes things looked dark as to the score. The quarter ended with the ball in Flagstaff's pos- session. SECOND QUARTER. On a forward pass Flagstaff lost the ball. Prescott made steady gains up the field, mostly by the use of the air route, to Flagstaff's twenty-yard line. Penn, Prescott’s captain, kicked a hole through the Normalite’s line and carried the ball twenty yards for another touchdown, but Prescott failed to kick goal. Flagstaff received and started to make a steady gain up the field but lost the ball on a fumble. Fake plavs were now used by Prescott, but they soon resulted in the loss of the pigskin. The ball was in the middle of the field when the quarter ended. Page Seventy-One o THE HASSAYAMPER THIRD QUARTER. Flagstaff was now getting on to our style and a few minutes after the quarter had opened one of their ends caught a fifteen-yard pass, and made a fifty-yard run to a touchdown, there being “nobody home. The try for goal was a failure. The rest of the quarter was taken up largely in straight football, the ball see-sawing up and down the field, changing hands frequently. FOURTH QUARTER. Prescott with the ball in their possession made big gains on forward passes and end runs, but a fumble gave the Normalites the ball. They re- sorted now to line plunges and repeatedly took the ball through the line for large gains, which finally resulted in another touchdown. It was dur- ing this time that they lost their last chance to even up the game, for in their attempt to kick the goal, they missed the goal post twenty yards much to the joy of Prescott rooters. Flagstaff kicked and the Prescott lads tight- ened up, making a steady march down the field, the game ending with the ball on the Normalites’ three-yard line. Had time not been called un- doubtedly another touchdown would have resulted for Prescott. Score: P. H. S_________13 Flagstaff-------12 That evening Prescott High gave a dance in honor of the Normalites who returned home later in the evening.

Basketball received much attention at the High School this year. Sev- eral games were played with outside teams, and the series of interclass games has been played off. The girls' team won a large silver cup offered by the Northern Arizona Fair Association to the winner of the games staged during Fair week. The boys' team, owing to their lack of practice and to the other teams' experience, failed to make a very good showing. THE WINSLOW MEET. The boys’ and girls' basketball teams played a double-header with the teams of inslow High School in Prescott's gymnasium on the night of October 21. The Girls’ Game. The Winslow girls had boasted that the Prescott girls would not have a show, and the latter expected a hard struggle. Prescott, however, got the start and remained in the lead the entire game. The Winslow girls came back very strong in the second half but were unable to redeem themselves. The score at the end of the first half was 17 to 5, while the final score was .14 to 5 in Prescott’s favor. The Boys’ Game. The Prescott boys were not in good shape for the battle; they had had only one week's practice and had played a football game in the after- noon. Winslow outpointed Prescott in both field and free goal throwing. At the end of the first half the score stood 10 to fi in favor of the visitors. Prescott braced up in the second half and the spectators saw some real basketball playing. The game ended with the score of 17 to 14 in favor of Winslow. THE Q. P. HUMBOLDT MEET. According to previous arrangements the winners of the girls’ and Page Seventy-Six THE HASSAYAMPER boys' games were to play the Q. P.’s, the town team, and the Humboldt teams respectively. Owing to the fact that the Winslow boys were sched- uled to play football the next morning, they refused to meet Humboldt. The Prescott team though handicapped, agreed to play in Winslow's place. The Girls’ Game. The game between the girls’ teams promised to be very exciting as the winners were to receive a large silver cup. The first half found the High School girls six points to the good. The Q. P.’s came back in the second half with such marked team work that they nearly overcame the lead. The High School girls, however, took every opportunity thtat came their way and with their fine team work easily won with the score of 17 to 13. The Boys’ Game. The Prescott boys did not fare very well in this game. At the sound of the whistle both teams started off with rapid action, but the Humboldt bovs were far superior in basket shooting and in team work. The first half ended with a score of 4 to 6 in favor of Humboldt. During the second half Prescott’s lack of team work was evident, and the final score 22-9 at- tested the superiority of the Humboldt five. THE PHOENIX GAMES. A crowd of nearly four hundred spectators saw the Prescott girls very gently, if not easily, take the game from the Phoenix girls, but saw the Prescott boys fall before the onslaughts of the Phoenix five. The Girls’ Game. The Prescott girls from the very first showed far better team work than their opponents, and displayed greater ability at basket shooting, as is shown by the final score of 32-15. The Boys’ Game. The Phoenix boys clearly showed the results of their training. 1 heir team work was a marked feature of their playing, and basket shooting seemed no effort at all. The game, which was one-sided from the outset, ended with a score of 42 to 22 in Phoenix’s favor. After the game the Phoenix teams were entertained at a dance in the gymnasium. THE INTERCLASS GAMES. In the interclass basketball tournament each class was scheduled to play three games each with every other class, making a total of eighteen boys’ and eighteen girls’ games. The girls’ and boys’ teams having the highest percent of games won were each to receive a silver cup from the Athletic Associaiton. Page Seventy-Seven THE HASSAYAMPER The Junior girls finished the tournament without a defeat. Their marked victory is easily accounted for; the two under class teams, each of which made a good showing and displayed excellent possibilities in the way of real basketball players, were lacking in training and experience. The Senior girls withdrew from the contest, thus forfeiting their games and offering the Juniors no opposition; four of the six members of the Ju- nior were members of the H. S. team. For some time the Freshmen boys bid fair to win the cup, but the Senior boys began to show their mettle, and their place became undisputed. They won their last five games, making them the victors in two out of the three possible games with each class. The Juniors and Freshmen tied for second place and will play off the tie in the near future. The interclass tournament was productive of much good. It brought a majority of the boys into an active interest in athletics. It developed a wholesome, sportsmanlike spirit and class rivalry. It brought to light much promising material. The possibilities for two well-rounded teams for next year has led to the prediction that P. H. S. will produce a state winning team. ■ t g« Mvaoty-MM Page Seventy-Nine flOMSTITUTIQK BY-LAWS.

A good, wholesome athletic enthu- siasm has prevailed throughout the year; each member has realized his responsibility. The result has been that, for the first time in the history oi the organization, the Athletic Association has no deficit to face. The purpose of the Association, to promote and support all athletic ac- tivities of the High School and to cultivate among its membership a spirit of true sportsmanship, has been accomplished. In all contests, inter-schol- astic and inter-class, the spirit of the contestants has been commendable. Decidedly marked has been the enthusiasm manifested by the rooters. 1 o their loyalty is largely due the success attained by the football and bas- ketball teams. This year, since our excellent indoor court made systematic practice possible, the Association again planned a basketball tournament and voted to award the winning girls' and winning boys’ teams each a silver cup. A keen rivalry for the cups was evident to the very end of the tournament, and greatly enhanced tthe interest of contestants and rooters alike. To nineteen players who had proven themselves worthy in football or basketball this year, the Association awarded sweaters. The record of Athletic events given elsewhere in this volume, is suf- ficient evidence of the successful vear of the Prescott High School As- sociation.

The aim of the I. O. B. O. is to have a good time. That we have succeeded in our ambition may be shown by the numerous meet- ings we have held, where jollity always holds sway. The first meeting was held at the home of Casey where we were thoroughly organized. We entertained the boys of the Junior class, timidly calling for and escorting them to the “Movies,” after which a delightful repast was served at Mrs. Young’s home, Annie Young acting as hostess. Dancing was enjoyed until the wee sma' hours, when we departed, our guests having each been duly presented with a bouttonniere.

O. N. S. was formed during the first of the school year. Our greatest object was to form a body which would exert a moral influence on the community. We considered a few other tilings, too, such as our own enjoyment and natural protection. So, in view of our lofty aim, we hope that no one will criticize us. Although we are not large in numbers, our influence on the school life can hardly be overestimated, since we are practically IT, at least in our opinion. Our very ancientness is inspiring. The A. O. N. S. was founded in the year X, B. C.. by Adam. This poor but noble man, whom we revere as a father, had only mohair blankets on which to sleep and so considered the founding of the order of vital importance. In speaking of accomplishments, we will mention but a few of our most notable ones. We are the undisputed basketball champions of the whole city. Foreseeing certain defeat, no one will play us. We put on and over one of the best amateur theatricals ever staged in this city, and it is doubtful if the standard set by us this year will be reached again. We might also mention our track and baseball teams, with their long string of victories. Our social doings are THE affairs of the year. Aside from dances, picnics, etc., we have many private functions, such as our spring encamp- Page Eigty-Four THE HASSAYAMPER ment. Our dress parade, which will occur annually hereafter, caused a furore of excitement and dense crowds witnessed it. Although about seventy per cent of our members graduate this year (showing our intellectual superiority), we hope that the order will not go with them, but will remain, and grow, and flourish, and become even more of a pride to the school and even a better influence on it than it has been this vear. JAMES P. SMITH. Page Eighty-Five Page Eighty-Six THE HASSAYAMPER Girls’ Club After reading trie long columns ot society notes encased in this goodly book, the reader is compelled to say, “What a jolly good time the students of P. H. S. have had this year!” This unusual round of good times is easily accounted for. There exists in the school a certain bunch of well-informed, attractive girls who call themselves “ThePClub.” It is they who promote and make successful a greater part of the H. S. social affairs. This rather mysterious organization comprises a membership of eight girls, familiarly known as “Tucker,” “Bunch,” “Babe,” “Meadie, “Rufus,’ Nell, Hazel and “Marksie.” You may now ask, “Who are the officers of this jovial clique?” We answer, “We are one just as popular as the other; each a leader in her own special line, as our Cast of Characters will show you “Tucker”____________________________________________Orchestra Leader “Bunch”_________________________________________________Prima Donna “Babe”______________________________________________Male Lead Meadie”__________________________A Lead (decidedly feminine) “Rufus”______________________ _________Assistant Male Lead Hazel________________________________________________ Villain Nell_______________________________________Business Manager “Marksie”_____________________Soubrette and Leader of Chorus As a sequel to the standard of the A. O. N. S., we are also for the ‘moral uplift of humanity.” We venture to say that the social functions would be few and far between; and the students of Prescott High would be drones, rather than intellectual and physical geniuses, were it not for the ? girls, who create and keep up the school spirit of work and fun. We have among our number fair representatives of all talents. Is not Tucker renowned for her musical art and scholarship? Would the school be able to give operattas were it not For Bunch there to take the leads? What chances for championship would our H. S. B. B. team have had, had our Rufus forsaken them? Although the rest are equally talented, we have not the time and space in which to relate all our merits. Yes, surely P. H. S. would be a dreary place and become socially stag- nant were it not for the “all-inspiring( ?) girls.” M. E. M.—T6 and M. M.—T6. Page Eighty-Seven THE HASSAYAMPER The “Hies” You never heard of a “HIC”? Then you must be a late arrival in Prescott, for the “HICS have dominated gaiety in every phase of school life. As a group of the most fun-loving girls of the Senior class, we must admit that we have succeeded in having a glorious, good time this year. Some of our members, having characteristics of the followers of Diana, had banded themselves together last year as the O. M. S. Carrying on the work they started, we are now enlivening the school and community. Our little social affairs have been wonderfully successful, and the memory of our “hike” will ever remain with us. Just look again at the picture above. Did you ever see a jollier group? “Chessie” Healy, who heads the list, is a load of fun herself. In her calmer moods she has achiev- ed laurels in scholarship and dramatics. Yes, of course you remember how she started as Mrs. Bender in our Junior play, All the Comforts of Home.” Then there is “Cardinal Farley. You would never know she hailed from the Emerald Isle, would you.1' Her ready wit has entertained us many a time. Woody Woodard was a welcome addition to the club at the be- ginning of the year. She comes from Kansas, but don't count that against her. The next is “Beanie Lamb, tall and slender, every inch of her a jolly, rollicking HIC. Maggy McGrew, the next in line, was never known to possess a serious expression. We will miss her when she goes to Flagstaff with “Chessie this summer, to prepare for teaching. Buster” Riebling is so well known that she needs no introduction. She, too, contributes to our intellectual standing. The last, but not least, is Jane” King, an excellent student, a worthy friend, and a true HIC.” “Billie Allan and Kewpie” Piper were not with us on the hike” but they are loyal members, and add much to our good times. Our Senior days are almost over, but we will be “HICS” forever. Our new name, though not in the dictionary, has gained a broad meaning from the actions of the members. It is a great honor to be a “HTC,” as you may judge from the jolly bunch who compose the membership. Chessie Healy, bright and fair, Is a girl unusually rare. “Cardinal Farley we all vow Has a shillalah and a hickory hough. “Woody” Woodard, so they say, Is a Kansas Jayhawk, gay Page Eighty-Eight THE HASSAYAMPER “Beanie” Lamb, a friend of worth, Is a girl chuck full of mirth. “Maggy” McGrew, with a jolly way, Knows the system of making: an “A.” “Buster” Riebling, so chubby and short, Once and for all is a jolly good sport. “Jane” King, all know is a bright young lass, She’d raise the standard of any class. “Billie'’ Allan, with dark brown hair, Has dignity enough to spare. “Kewpie” Piper, a bashful girl, Never wears her hair in a curl. I'uge liiglity-Nine THE HASSAYAMPER Shinkey It is lonesome ’round our place Since our Shinkey passed away, We saw his mischievous face It seems but yesterday. We miss his noble presence As we sit with faces sad, For he was our little puppy, The only one we had. We miss the tread of his little feet, The bark that woke us up; We miss the little pranks Of that precious little pup. Although he stole our shoes away, And sent the meat bill up, We loved our little Shinkey anyway Because he was our little pup. And when we went to take a walk, Or just a little ride, Shinkey always followed us, God bless his little hide! Whenever we did go to town, Or even to the church, Shinkey always followed us, Couldn’t leave him in the lurch. We loved that little puppy. With his black, white-spotted fur, And we’ll never love another dog Like we did that little cur. Page Ninety THE HASSAYAMPER Page Ninety-One THE HASSAYAMPER Calendar SEPTEMBER, 1915. Tuesday—7th.

IN MEMORIUM On the afternoon of April 24 there passed from existence that dear be- loved essence, the C. A. G. Booklets. The funeral ceremony took place on the east side of the High School building, and was attended by the chief mourners, Misses Farley, Healy, McGrew, Lamb, Woodard and King. 1 lie latter officiated at the final ceremony, while all took part in various ways. By special permission we quote the service. “Friends and fellow-sufferers, we are met together on this sad, solemn •iccasion to bid farewell forever to one of our fondest hopes. As we cover with earth all that remains to us of our dear ambition, so we bury our an- imosity toward all who have frustrated its fulfillment. With tear-wet eyes and pale, wan cheeks we lay to rest these little mementos, which were to us the nearest approach to the wearing of sh— —a regulation graduation garb. From this time forth we agree to studiously avoid the mention of this sub- ject that has occupied the position nearest our hearts for these past months.” “Little book to us so dear, 1 hough for whom doth flow each tear, Joys of joys and woes of woes, Once our graduation clothes, 'Tis with sorrow that we part, W ith an ache in every heart. I he place you leave can ne'er be filled ; Ambitions, hopes and trusts are killed. Evermore we’ll think of thee, Nevermore we’ll speak of thee. Now we bid thee sad farewell. To meet again? We cannot tell. Page Ninety-Six THE HASSAYAMPER Soliloquy of a Sweet Sixteen Maid, About to Commit Matrimony . To wed, or not to wed—that is the question ; Whether ’tis nobler in man’s mind to repel The slings and arrows of outrageous Cupid, Or to take in arms a sea of troubles, And by proposing, win him. To woo; to wed; No more; and by that wedlock to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That maidenhood is heir to—,tis a consumption Devoutly to be wished. To woo; to wed; To wed; perchance to work—aye, there's the rub; For after happy marriage what wages we must earn When HE has shuffled off to wayside inns, Must give us pause. Mary—Well, Lee, how many orders did you get yesterday? Lee—I got two in one place. Mary—That’s the stuff. What were they? Lee—One was to get out and the other was to stay out. —o— Zeb—You say you sassed a Sophomore? What did he do? Victor—He ran. Zeb—What! The Sophomore ran? Victor—Yes, and he caught me, too. —o— Ola—I couldn’t stand to marry a man who was studying pharmacy. Ed—Why? Ola—Because I would never live on a farm. —o— Helen L.—Why are false eyes made of glass? Mary F.—How else could they see thru them, you thickhead. o— Miss Peglow—Here’s the story of a ghost that swallowed a thermometer? What shall we entitle it? Mason—212 degrees in the shade. He held the maiden’s hand and said: “May T the question pop?” She coyly bent her pretty head— “You’d better question pop”. You can always tell the English. You can always tell the Dutch; You can always tell the Freshman, But you can’t tell them much. —o— THE EVOLUTION OF A SENIOR. Freshie—I didn’t hear the question. Soph.—Didn’t get the question. Junior—What? Senior—Huh? —o— Chas. R.—Look out don’t touch my clothes, you’ll get a shock. Johnnie R.—Why? C. R.—They’re charged. Mary had alittle lamp. It was well trained, no doubt; Cause every time that John came in. The little lamp went out. —o— WHAT HE DID. Ursula—And so you have quarreled aga’n ? Clara—Yes. and returned all his pres- ents. and what do you think he did? Ursula—Something horrid, I am sure. Clara—He sent me half a dozen boxes of face powder and a note explaining that In thought he had taken as much as that home on his coat since he met me. Page Niney-Seven THE HASSAYAMPER A TRANSLATION. German sentence: “Der Lehrer giht dern Schuler ein Boot.” Translation: (By Jennie H.)—“The teacher gave the pupil the boot.” Silently one by one. On the roll books of the teachers, Blossom the neat little zeros. The forget-me-nots of the Seniors. —o— Student—Here, porter, I’m from Phoe- nix. and-------- Porter—All right, boss, I won’t tell no- body. —o— Interested Spectator—(Watching John- nie R. changing a tire) It must be awful to have so many blowouts and punctures. Johnnie—(Modestly) It doesn’t bother me. ma’am. I’m not usuallv of a retir- ing disposition. Tho they affirm a deadly germ Lurks in the sweetest kiss, Let’s hope the day is far away Of antiseptic bliss. To sterilize a lady’s sighs Is certainly outrageous, I’d much prefer to humor her And let her be contagious. “Is she going with anybody at present?” “Yes.” “Who?” “Anybody.” —o— Never put off until tomorrow What you can put over today. MORE POETRY THAN TRUTH. Sing a song of tightwads, Pockets full of dough; Six and twenty pretty girls, Standing in a row. Girls all start a smiling. Boys begin to fade; Now isn’t that a dirty way To treat a waiting maid? —o— Miss Adams—Who is that new janitor ' Dewey—He used to be a bartender down here. Miss Adams—Oh, I thought I’d seen him before. —k)— Eleanor—I think I’ll get some furbelows. Nell—What are they? Eleanor (condescendingly)—Oh, fur top- ped shoes, of course. —o—. John R. describes a Ford driver as a man with a roller-skate on the seat of his pants. —o— Melita—George fell down and got hurt. Eleanor—Where did he get hurt? Melita—On the club steps. —o— Prof. Hart (In assembly)—Well, Bobbie, you’ve been talking for five minutes; haven’t you exhausted about all you know. —o— Miss Armacost (In Spanish III)—Jack open your book. Jack—Si, Senora. K. C.—Shouldn’t you call her Senorita? Jack—No. not at her age. —o— Women have so many faults. Men have only two: Everything they say, and Everything they do. Why are the students of P. H. S. like Newton’s first law? Because “evervbodv persists in a state of rest.” Mason P.—(After receiving a shock from a Leyden jar) “Gosh, no wonder they call it a jar.” —o— THE TWENTY-THIRD QUALM. Mr. Carlisle is my teacher I shall not want. He maketh me to sit up and take notice. He leadeth me through the dark- ness of Physical Science. He restoreth my brain; he guideth me in the paths of knowledge for his sala- ry’s sake. Yea though I flunk in the subject. I f ar no evil for I have an extra credit. Thy smile and thy jollity, they comfort me (now and then). Thou handest me flunk slips in the pres- ence of my classmates. Thou anointest my head with wisdom. It soon runneth over. Surely quizzes and atrocities will follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in Mr. Carlisle’s Physics class forever. Senior (to Freshman)—Before you leave the gym please extinguish the lights. Freshman—What does extinguish mean? Senior—To put out. Senior (to Freshman later in the eve- ning)—Gee. T heard a fine narration the other day. Freshman—What does narration mean? Senior—A tale. Freshman (Next day at his home)—Say Ma. take that pup by his narration and extinguish him. —o— Miss Adams—Tom, locate Egypt for me. Tom—On page 49 in the History. —o— Mr. Hart—Which are the three words most commonly used by high school stu- dents? Freshman—I don’t know. Mr. Hart—Correct. —o— Mr. Hart (In note to janitor)—Please clean the attick. —o— Miss Peglow (To Freshman in Latin)— Give the English translation of this sen- tence: “Magister bonis longum narra- bat.” Freshman (Hesitatingly) — Ei — Maggie stir the bones—er—with the long narrow bat. Page Ninety-Eight THE HASSAYAMPER SOPHOMORE WIT The chambermaid yelled up the stairs, det up you lazy sinner, V e need your sneets tor tablecloths, It’s almost time for dinner. Freshman—Melita, did you hear about tne girl who was electrocuted in cooking class Ao, what about her? v ny, sue sal down on a cookie with a current in it. I am bigger than anything that can happen to me. —Tlielma Milnes. Mr. Carlisle (in Physics IV)—Now if you will listen you can see this musical tone. First Fresliie—Say, what makes Har- vey Carter so fat? second Fresliie—Oh he drinks Lydia Pinkham’s Compound for breakfarst. Miss Peglow—Say Lincoln, I wish you would cut out that slang. Helen—Casey, w-here's your coat? casey—On I didn’t wear anything but a nal, this afternoon. Ola (.translating in Spanish)—I was playing leap trog and tore my pants. Mr. Hart (In the assembly)—First period passes class. Helen—Mary what was the matter witn you and Hazel in Physics? Mary—Oh we get along like two strange bull dogs. She growles at me now and then. Melita—Do you love me with all your heart, George? George—Yes, dear. Melita—Would you die for me? George—No my love is undying. Carrie—I got a bid to the dance to- night. Alary—Who from, the guy with an awn- ing on his upper lip? Eleanor—Gee kid, you are left handed. Alary—Yes, I’m getting so that 1 even eat with my left hand. Eleanor—How funny, 1 always eat with a fork. To kiss a Miss you ought to kiss Is not to kiss amiss, But to kiss the Miss you ought to miss. And to miss the Miss you ought to kiss Is to kiss a Miss amiss. Mr. Carlisle, having returned to Pres- cott with his bride met Love Hattan on the street. Good evening. Love. He is still wondering at the look his wife gave him. Melita (Learning to smoke)—Say, how- do 1 light this match, my foot is too small? Instructor—Scratch it on your—rr------ Let me light it. Grace—Keep a pig at school and call him ink. Annie—How’s that? Grace—Because he always runs out of the pen. —o— Miss Adams—Oscar, where is the Dead sea? Oscar—Ahem, I didn’t even know one was sick. question—What is pasteurized inilk? Freshman—The milK-cow's are put in a pasture and the milk is called pasteur- ized. Ed—Are raw- oysters healthy? Zeb—I never knew one to complain. Mr. Hart—I can read minds. Fresliie—Can you read mine? Mr. Hart—Surely. Freshie—Then why don’t you hit me? Miss Adams—Have you been over this lesson? Pat Ryan—Yes, the book accidentally fell under my seat. Lila (Eating a dill-pickle)—Is’nt it said that to like pickles is to be in love? M� ss Clemens (w-iio does not like pick- les)— les, but just because you don’t like pickles is no sign that you are not in love. Brick (trying to get an add from Mad- am Hunter)—if you will give me an add i will send all of the senior girls around nere to get their hair manicured. Freshman—Which is correct: I am a fool, or 1 are a fool? Sophomore—Why, I am a fool, of course. Freshman (grinning)—I always knew it. Miss Armacost (in Spanish IIII)—Edwin, give the English translation for this sen- tence: Sed reyes en vuestros ensuenos. Edwin—Raise a thirst in your sleep. (Correct translation is: Be Kings in your dreams.) Harvey—Are we going to have a holi- day to go to the circus today? Air. Hart—We would have had one but the elepnant swallow-ed the coffee pot and they can’t find the grounds. Lee Thompson (presiding over meeting of tiie Atheletic Association)—We will now have the reading of the moments of the last meeting. Page Ninety-Nine THE HASSAYAMPER Leo—You are the breath of life to me. K. C.—Well, suppose you hold your breath awhile. We always laugh at teachers jokes No matter what they be. Not because they’re funny. But because it’s policy. Miss Clemens (in biology, telling of snakes eating eggs whole.) Inquisitive Soph.—How do the snakes break the shells and digest the eggs? Miss Clemens—Oh, I guess they crawly along and bump against a roc1' Fred—Do you know that new girl? Lila—Yes. her name is Florence some- body, and she lives next door to what cha ma callem. He kissed Nell on the cheek. It seemed a harmless frolic. Now lie’s been sick a week. They say it’s painter's colic Miss Armacost—Fools ask questions that wise men cannot answer. Voice from the class—Maybe that’s why 1 failed in the last English test. ----THE ETND -- The JDroscotf Haftmtal Bank Capital, $ 100,000.00 Surplus and Undivided Profits {Earned), $200,000.00 DEPOSITS OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS We are especially well equipped to handle all your banking business.
