Undoubtedly we young Americans take for granted much that should call forth our spoken thanks and our avowed gratitude. It is only occassionally thatwe stop in the mad whirl of these modem days to consider our opportunities or take stock of our abilities. All that our parents, our teachers, our community, our state are doing-have always been doing-we take as our just due. Small wonder that cynics say the motto of the younger generation is Gimme . On the threshold of a new life, the class of '27 would pause to look back and to look forward. In look- ing backward we find that we have indeed been fortunate because we have had the opportunity to attend so good a school as Quincy. We have had splendid teachers, and the chance to apply ourselves to our studies, thus laying a good foundation for further work in college or in the business world. That we have failed oft times to make the most of this opportunity is now a source of regret. We feel how true are the poet's words: It isn't the thing that you do, my dear, But the thing that you leave undone, Which gives you a bit of heartache At the setting of the sun. Our school work has served to develop our moral fibre, our integrity, and our honor. During the four years of our High School life we have had the opportunity of making friends among our classmates, and also among our instructors. These friendships have left their impression upon our lives. If we have chosen our friends wisely, we have been strengthened and helped by association with them . In school athletics, we have had the opportunity of developing our bodies quickening our preceptions, maturing our judgment, and gaining a sense of fair play. In the hard competitive world that we are about to enter, all of these qualities will be of great use to us. Indeed no one can hope to go far in these strenuous times without a strong healthy body, keen preception and a well developed sense of fair play. But our High School days are behind us. We have finished to begin again . Let us see what the future may hold for us. Never before in the history of the world have there been so many chances for young people. Look- ing ahead we see many doors bearing the magic word Opportunity . There is room for everyone. But proper preparation must be made, for the magic door of our choice will not swing wide and admit us to the land of success unless we are fitted to enter. This is an age of specialized work. There is no place for a Jack-of-all- Trades. The age of invention has only just begun. There is room for inventive geniuses and scientists. The professions are always in need of trained and willing workers-doctors, ministers, lawyers-either men or women. The farm is coming into its own at last. Its future is very bright. In short, one has only to make a choice of a life's job and then make the necessary preparation. This preparation, of course, not only requires time and money, but patience and determination to succeed. However, there are colleges and all kinds of schools with special courses open to all who are sufficiently in eamest to make the necessary effort. We, the class of '27, would leave the Oriole as a reminder of our active participation in all fomms of school activityg as a token of gratitude for all that has been done for us, and as a pledge that we will give the best that is in us to whatever task may lie just ahead. Marian Oxenham, Editor-in-Chief. im 1 Q 2 7 Mi ' -7-. 311 ,THE ORIOLE THE CYCLE When Freshmen come in from the great open spaces, They're lacking in culture, deficient in graces. They're way back on learning and lacking in wit, But bone head assurance, lack never a bit. As Sophomores they gain all the thrill of possession, Their program's rebellious and full of aoqression, They ruin our standards, mock all our ideals, Then like the dickens and ask how it feels. As Juniors they lose their belief in reforms, Believe that some standards won't do any harm, They're careful in conduct, and grave in demeanor, And scarcely can wait till they call themselves, 'Seniors As Seniors, alas, they will suHer Ureat pain, They can't help but wish they were Freshmen again, They'll think of commencement, then wipe out a tear And pray they'll be Freshies, again the next year. --Alton Dobson. ilrf hii ' -8- -l- il THE 0122101.12 - 7 X Xxx fr'1 'W'N 'YZX 4.nXw5WE, .

For four long years -yet speedy as we look back upon their passing-we have worked for and looked forward to these closing scenes in our career as pupils. We realize that if it were not for you, we would have been unable to achieve this peak of success, and therefore we owe you a very deep debt of gratitude for the privileges which we have enjoyed. Have you ever stopped to think that Life is made up of doors? Doors of opportunitv, Doors of Success and of Failure, and many others. Four years ago we as Freshmen knocked timidly at the doors of this institu- tion. We were admitted, and took up our duties and pleasures as they came to us. Many times during these four years we have knocked at other doors. To some we have been admitted, to others we have not. Perhaps some of us have chosen the wronq door, or perhaps certain doors to which we greatly desired access, have failed to open in spite of persistent knocking. ' There is, however, one door which we have all entered: this is the door marked Education We have each received a certain amount of education by studying our books. But these four years should indeed be counted a failure if we have not leamed to put these lessons to pratical use-we should now be able to take our part in a civic life and not vote merely as our great grandfathers did, but by free and unprejudiced thinking, promote the ideas and principles that will best benefit our Cotmtry. Our qualifications should now be such that we fan join in a social life in which we may aid in improving conditions in our city, state and nation, we should know how to promote a pure home life, a clean church life. and countless activities for the betterment of the world which are behind many other doors to be opened only for the asking. When we pass through this doorway of Life, we shall see stretching down the Hall of Opportunity many doors, each of which lead to some work in the world to be done. One leads to higher education at college, another to engineering or to teaching, and still there are many others. The privilege of entering one door be- longs to each of us, but which shall it be? To some, their pathway of Life will be clearly designated, but to others, it will be dim with diihculties and hardships. In a few hours, this door will swing behind us, never to be opened again and we will be forced to depend upon our own resources, to choose our work in Life. We are passing out into your midst, we are joining you in a larger school of progress. We are entering your pleasures and pursuits, to become one of you in your social, business and home activities. Parents and friends, we are grateful to each and every one of you for we know that without you we should have been unable to enter these doors. First we thank our parents without whose strong, never failing aid and encouragement, we should have been compelled to give up long ago. Next we thank the Board of Education for we have found you ever ready and eager to supply the equipment needed for our education. We thank the members of the Faculty for their readiness to help us over steep hills in the country of our lessons. And last, but not least, we thank our classmates for teaching us what a beautiful and glorious thing Friendship is. You have all helped us gain access to these doors and encouraged us to pass on unfalteringly from one to another. Soon this door which we are now facing will close forever and we shall no longer be members of Quincy High School. But nevertheless, we will always keep a special corner reserved in our hearts for those friends and scenes with which we have come in contact the last four years. And now before closing I want to repeat the words of a few moments ago, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome one and all from the Class of 1927 of Quincy High School. Helen Orcutt. YW 1 Q 2 '7 Mi 117-. ffgl THE ORIOLE PRESlDENT'S ADDRESS On a September day four short years ago, the class of 1927 entered High School with many hopes and eager anticipations of the life that awaited them. Today, a few more than a third of our former number have reached the goal of our childish ambition and are at the close of High School days. During these four years some of our youthful hopes have been realized, while some have been replaced by newer and broader ones. Many are, perhaps wondering what this course has done for us. It has not only given us a certain knowledge of subjects studied, but it has given us strength and ability resulting from the efforts put forth to obtain that knowledge. With this training and discipline some of us will pursue college courses, while others will be taught iflthe school of experience. , Nlernbers of the Junior Class: In behalf of the Seniors who are soon to pass to the ranks of Alumni, I have the honor of presenting to you this cane, may it endow you with industry and application, with charity and love for your fellow-students, you generous and liberal in your sympathies and sparing in criticism. May it endow you with a spirit of fellowship, uniting you in bonds of harmony which admit no dissension or enmity, causing you each to be interested in the other's good. It is our hope that this cane may bring you a large portion of love for old Quincy High. Live up to its teachings of justice, morality, obedience, and integrity. Guard its good name and uphold its honor, that it may continue to send forth young men and women, inspired to play a noble part on the stage of Life. May our cane invest you with esteem and love for the instructors who labor so imtiringly to develop you physically, morally, and mentally. Their training forms a large part of your equipment for life and we trust that your remaining year may be one of happy associations with them. If as a class we have made a good record or achieved worthily we hope that our cane may bring you the same measure of successg yea, even as Elisha asked for a double portion of the spirit of Elijah, so would we bequeath to you, dear Juniors, a double portion of our pluck, pep, industry and other qualities which have aided us during the strenuous months of our Senior year. Take our cane, we pray, and pass on to the Goal of Success. Wilfred Myers RESPONSE BY JUNIOR PRESIDENT We, the class of '28 accept with great pleasure and deep feeling this cane, which as you have just said, is an emblem of character, integrity, and intelligence to the members of Quincy High School. I can assure you that we will always regard it with the greatest of precautions, and shall never cease in our struggles to uphold the principles for which it stands. Four hundred sons and daughters and even more, endowed by a bountiful providence and trained by a thought- ful foster mother, have gone forth from this High School into the world, to labor for their own and human- ity's well being. As we glance over their records we find that a majority of them were endowed with the teach- ings of justice, morality, obedience, square-dealing, love and consideration for their fellow men. Probably some of these traits were brought home to them at this very ceremony as fully as they are to us, of the class of '28. We thank you for the honor of accepting this emblem from so' worthy a class as you have proved to be. May you all be as successful and happy in the school of life as you have been here in High School. Next year we shall do all within our power at all times to be a proper and suitable example for all under classmates, thus enabling us to hand this cane on to our successors with even more pride than any who have done so before us. Seniors, we thank you and do not say good-bye, but farewell until we meet again. Gladys Globensky ilrf ivii . -18.- il THE ORIQLE: illi CLASS HISTORY Four years ago, a group of sixty-four students entered high school, some with faltering bewildered footsteps, some with a pretended jauntiness, some steadily determined to not mind the jeering calls of Freshie, which constantly rang in their ears. Somehow or other, the first three days passed, with no fatal accidents, and the first freshman class meeting was called . We wondered how we were supposed to act, but it did not take us long to elect our officers. Marjorie Shepard was electedas President, Lloyd Van Patten as Vice Pres., Wil- fred Myers as Treasurer, and Rolene Taber as Secretary. Our class instructors were Miss Holland and Mrs. Coombs under whose supervision all of our class parties and other affairs were carried out. Ar the beginning of the Sophomore year, there were only fifty-three of the class left. But we felt that we had made up in importance for all we had lost in numbers. We went to our first class meeting with the cocksure air of those who knew. We deliberated carefully upon our candidates for the class offices, and finally elected Rolene Taber as Pres.g Oliver Phelps as Vice. Pres, Marcine Smith as Treasg Mildred Lucas as Secretary. That year Miss Galley and Mr. Rice were appointed as class instructors. We had three class parties, one of them being a farewell party for a member of our class. Miss Galley resigned at the end of the first semester, and was replaced by Miss Hicks. In the spring came the annual teachers' reception, put on by the Sophomores. We made a great success of this social event, thanks to the supervision of Miss Hicks. We parted at vacation time, feeling that we were indeed wise, to have gone already through two years of high school, and looking forward to the next September. When the next September came, the Junior class numbered forty-one. That year we chose Wallace Downer as our President, Marian Oxenham as Vice. Pres., Wilfred Myers as Treasurer, and Edward Hall as Sccrc- tary. Our class advisor was Miss Bond. We began to realize that after all we knew very little, and that we must choose our vocations, and think seri- ously of how to prepare for them. As our knowledge increased, so our social affairs increased. We had several merry parties. One party was the result of a contest between two sides, for the payment of class dues. The losing side treated the other side to a party. In June, the juniors financed a camping trip, for the seniors and themselves, at Coldwater Lake. This was the great event of the year, and was certainly worth the effort ex- pended to make it a success. Then-vacation. When we enrolled as Seniors, there were twenty-eight who had survived all three years, and won the name of seniors. We chose our officers carefully for this, our last year of high school. They are, Pres. Wilfred Myers, Vice. Pres. Esther Duncan, Treas. Lucille Greene, Sec. Marian Oxenham. This year we had the privilege of choosing our own advisor, and we chose Miss Bond, who had the year before proved her ability as instructor. Another lively contest resulted in a party given by the losing side in honor of the winners. Sev- eral other parties were held during the year, all of them successful. Then came the great event, the Senior Play. A committee, appointed by the President, selected the play, with the assistance of Miss Bond. The Empty House, was the one chosen, a three-act play, with fourteen characters, eight girls and six boys. The cast worked hard ate their parts, and the rest of the class did their bit, the whole resulting in success. Only twenty-three are left to graduate in the class of twenty-seven. Out of the sixty-four who began as Fresh- men, this seems a small number, but these few have obtained, through hard work, a good start in life, and they realize that it is only a start, and that much more is still ahead. Della Spencer Cecile Ryan Chester Lampman QCommitteej illf liif -19- ali THE ORIOLE Tiff CLASS ORATION Classmates, schoolmates, faculty and friends. A few years ago several young men from this community started on a long road which led them thru training camps, across? the Atlantic and into the hell of mud and blood that was France at that time. Some of them retraced that road and are again at home. Others are, now In Flanders Field . I have often wondered what impulse sent those boys there. Was it to save their country? No, any one of them would have told you that the United States was in no immediate danger. Sifted to the bottom, the reason for the most of those boys going across the sea was, they believed in war. Not in war to end war, but in war as an institution and a thing to be used in the settlement of all national differences. History teaches it, our best writers of classical literature advocate it, sociologists accept it as a necessity. Why should they believe in war? Our historys have have been from the very first, stone tablets down to our latest twentieth century edition, not a record of the advance and progress of civilization but the complete record of the war and its heroes. They do not show us the making of civilization, but the destruction of it. Our students who study history in the schools of today, are not taught a critical method of study which would show them the cause of a nation's strength or weakness. They are taught the history of warg to worship its victors, and to hold its losers in con- tempt. We' are not alone in this. Every school, in every country on earth has this same condition. Think of itl The horror and the pity of it. Boys and girls living in this age of enlightenment and free thinking, still receiv- ing those old, old teachings, identical in theory and philosophy to those given four thousand years ago. Ask any boy or girl to list the five men who seem to them to be the greatest. Will they name Shakespeare, our most famous playright, Luther the founder and pioneer of all protestant religion, Bacon, forerunner of modern science? No! Such men have no place in the teachings given to our children at the time when they are choosing their ideals for life, their lists will contain only the names of men who were either leaders in war or were made famous by war occurring during their lives. But let us look for a while on other classes of Americans, the classes who have come in direct contact with war. Here we iind that public opinion is changing. Those who lived thru those trying days of nineteen sixteen to nineteen eighteen, when every mail brought news of the death of some loved one, can never again regain the belief that war is glorious and ennobling. Those few boys who came back suffering from gas, shellshock and the other horrors of modern warfare, did not tell us the stories of bravery and daring we read of in history and fiction. They told us of crouching in the mud and water miles behind the lines directing their fire pumping sharpnel and explosives at an unseen enemy miles away, by means of the mathematical precision of their obser- vation and signal system. In the air service, common reports would have us believe that here at least was real knight erranty. We believed that the airmen set out every morning seeking his enemy, met him in a whirlwind combat in mid-air and either returned a victor, or fell flames, a hero. Contrary to this belief, the men who re- turned, tell us that when sent over the lines they were to engage another plane, only as a last resort, and instead were to observe operations, and wireless back their reports to the gunners far behind the lines. Or perhaps they were sent out on a night raid, gliding high over enemy territory, with muffled exhaust, dropping their ter- rible gas and high explosive bombs, dealing out a horrible death alike to men, women and children. Then for all the world like a boy who has broken a window pane they turned tail in a headlong flight for home. Glorious battle? Heroism? Valor? No, a cold blooded contest between men of science as to who can invent the most horrible and efficient dispenser of indiscriminate death. THAT IS MODERN WARFARE. But we would try to excuse ourselves by saying, we are not to blame, the war was forced upon us . The monarchs of central Europe were to blame, their greed is the true cause. True, but where did they get their country? They received it in early childhood, not from heredity hut through STUDYING HISTORY. YOUR CHILDREN ARE STUDYING IT IN THIS VERY SCHOOL. Their ideas of autocracy and militarism were not given to them by calm thought after they had reached the age of reason, but implanted on their minds in indelible pictured by the vivid imagination of childhood, fed by stories of the glory and pomp of war. It is rather a long step from the feudal castles of Europe to the humble dwellings of our village. But after all, is human nature any different when clothed in overalls than it is when wrapped in robes of velvet? Is the mind of a child going to see things differently because his parents are not millionaires or monarchs? No, nature will take it's course, a child who is led to believe in the glory of war will hold that impression for life. This condition of affairs is worse because it is so totally unnecessary. How much better to tell the child of the men who founded our literature and language, than to drill him on the conquests of armies which, in razing a city, destroy more learning in one day than civilization can amass in centuries. Why not teach him to study the men who used the powers of science to lighten man's burden, instead of the demons who used science only to maim and destroy? Shouldn't we as citizens of today, pass on to be proud? Not the love of conquest, glory and splendor which has been the heritage of the thousand generations which have gone before, but a new freedom and independence of the great God of war, a new love of, Peace on earth, good will towards men.

Our call letters stand for our class motto, We finish to begin. Esther Duncan announcing. We have a real treat in store for you this afternoon. Our program is somewhat out of the ordinary but we are sure that you will enjoy it. We're going to take a little glimpse into the future this afternoon, and now, audience, I must ask you to use your imagination a little. just imagine that this is the year 1942. Are you all ready? Here we go! On the 15th day of June, 1927, just fifteen years ago, twenty-three Seniors journeyed forth from this very institution, seeking to make their way in the world to find what Providence had in store for them. A few days ago I came across a copy of the Oriole the Annual published by the class of '27, of which I am a member. As I looked through it I came upon the pictures of my classmates, and at once my mind traveled back to the good High School days when we were together both in work and in play. I thought first of the activities, the Field Days, the plays, the parties, the operettas, the various organizations and the like, and I took it upon myself to write to these old classmates and see how the world was using them, and as you will see, some of them have climbed to the highest pinnacles, and others are rapidly climbing toward the heights of success. I asked them to reply to this station so that we might have these letters to read at our opening program, as a kind of an anniversary celebration of the event which took place fifteen years ago. Then I thought of the Exams., and how dreadful they and our lessons did seem, and how unjust we thought our teachers were. I have a little rhyme which I committed to memory while I was in High School. Here it is: Here's to the teachers, Long may they live, Even as long as, The lessons they give. But then, our teachers weren't so bad after all, so I have written to them to find out if they still thought that readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic were yet worthy of their time, or if they had given themselves over to other occupations. We have a large pile of letters to read, so I guess we'd better be on our way now. Here is the first one. This is a nice letter, bet it's from a girl. Nice pretty envelope. Iet's see what they have to say. Well, there wasn't much to this. just a show bill. Well for goodness sakes, listen to this!

Well, we're not surprised at that, for we are sure you will all remember Cecile in the play , The Pot Boilers which the Dramatic Club put on in High School. Here's one from Yale University. , Yale University, June 10, 1942. Dear classmate of '27: I was quite surprised to receive a letter asking for the occupations of the class of '27, but if you can stand it I guess I can. Since leaving High School, I have entered somewhat into the field of science. As you will see by my stationery, I am one of the Professors of Yale University. I have just completed an experiment that has startled the entire scientific world. It took Michelson forty years to complete his experiment, but it only took me ten to finish mine. After liberating the power of the atom, I put this into practical use, and at the latest trial with this new discovery, we were able to drive the largest steamship in the world on the power of six teaspoonfuls of water. I am now working on an experiment whereby I can pump part of the air out of a room and obtain a partial vacuum so I may be able to study the effect of pressure on the boiling point. To make it more realistic, I am using CO, snow to fool myself into believing I am on Pike's Peak. With best wishes to the Class of ,27. A Prof. Wilfred Myers, LLd. PhD., etc. P. S. Please don't read this over the radio. Sorry Wilfred, it's too late, the deed is done. Here is one from Boston. Boston, Mass. June 12, 1942. Dear classmate of '27: I am now an author. I have just finished a book which promises to meet with the approval of all students all over the world. The name of it is, How to Get Through School Without Studying. I would like very much to be with you on june 15th, but it is impossible. With best wishes to the Class of '27. Q Alton Dobson. We are sure that will be all right with the students but we aren't sure about the teachers. Well, if here isn't a letter clear from Hollywood. Wonder who's out there. f 3 S v rf hiv ali THE ORIOLE Hollywood, California, June 11, 1942. Dear friend: A Was very glad to learn that the class of '27 is going to broadcast on June 15th, and I will be sure to listen in.

I enjoy the work very much. With best wishes to everyone at station W. F. T. B. Your old classmate, Nellie Smith. That's fine, Nellie, keep up the good work. Here is a cablegram from far-off Africa. Why I wonder who's way out there. Kimberley, Africa, june 10, 1942. Myrtle Kaiser and myself are busily engaged hunting orang-outangs for the American Zoological Research Soc- iety. Wish we could be at Quincy June 15th. With best wishes for your success. Arlene Gilbert. Well, that's a nice occupation. Isn't it? Well, this writing certainly does resemble that which I used to find on my American Lit. papers when they came back to me at the end of the month. I'll bet anything it is from Mrs. Heydon. Sure enough. Paris, France, ' , June 10, 1942. Dear Class of '27: I have just arrived at Paris, after spending some time in England, where I visited many famous places. I would certainly enjoy seeing the members of my English Literature class and telling them of some of the beauti- ful sights I saw Shakespeare's home and Westminster Abbey, besides many others, but these were the ones which impressed me the most. I am looking forward with great pleasure to a visit to the Louvre Art Gallery soon. Your former teacher, Mrs. Ruth Heydon. We are certainly glad that Mrs. Heydon's ambition has been accomplished. Here's one from Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal., June 10, 1942. Dear Class of '27: I must first tell you the glorious news. I only weigh 96 pounds now. I'm just preparing to reveal my secret to the world, for I know what it is to be fat. I think I will write a book, and call it, How I Learned to Re- duce. I'm sure you will all be glad to learn of this. I will sure listen in on june 15th. Please give my best regards to all the Class of ,27. Arthur H. Balfour. Well, if here isn't our old friend, Myrtle Kaiser. Why, Myrtle, I thought you were in Africa. How are you anyway? Fine. I didn't expect to be here. Neither did I, I just arrived here from Paris today. Well People, I guess I'll tum the microphone over to Miss Kaiser now. Well now I wonder what kind of work I'll make of this. This is new work for me, but nevertheless I'll do my best and glad of the privilege. Well could you believe this. It's from our old friend Helen. just listen to this- Dear friends:-As you wrote me and asked me to reply telling of my occupation I will do so now. After graduating from Quincy High School, I joined the Barnum 86 Bailey Circus for which I am running a sandwich stand. I sure wish I could be present at your Program June 15th. in honor of our Worthy Class. I shall never forget our good times together. Your friend, Helen Orcutt. There sure is a surprise. I thought Helen would be a school teacher. Now here is a letter from Des Moines, Iowa. Q I wonder who that's from. Dear Classmates:--Goodness what a surprise to think that old H. S. is to have a broadcasting station. That sure is a good idea. No doubt I will surprise you some by telling you what I am doing. I am a noted Lecturer for the Red Path Bureau. My subject being What Makes Water Wet , a very difficult subject to lecture on. I expect to ilrl hii -22- fill THE 012101.12 Tiff f v be sent to China soon to lecture to the Chinese on this same subject. My work is a pleasure to me and if I am ever back in Quincy again I surely would enjoy giving a short talk from your station. Lawrence Goodman, Class of '27. Well, Lawrence, I wish you much success in your work and we sure would enjoy having you lecture from W. F. T. B. Goodness gracious just listen to this. Dear Classmates:- So Quincy is planning to have a broadcasting station are they? Well that is just fine. It sure would be great to be back in Quincy for a few hours some time to look over the city once more. My love for Athletics still grows stronger althoughl am getting rather old to participate in many such things. I think I am very fortunate in securing a position for the coming winter. I have signed a contract with a popular hotel in Palm Beach. You are by this time wondering what in the world it can be. Well, it is Fanning Society Ladies. I don't believe that many athletics have such an opportunity at my age. Well, Dear Classmates, I wish each and every-one of you the best of success in life. I remain your friend, Edward Hall. Well, Ed, that sure is great. Hope you find some pretty ones to fan. Well here is a letter from Geneva High School. Wonder who is situated there. Dear Friends:- It doesn't seem possible that 15 years ago we joumeyed forth from H. S. but I guess it is. I suppose that few classmates are left in Quincy. It doesn't take long for a class to scatter. Arlene Anthony another of our classmates and myself are teaching here and have for the past three years. We are teaching subjects which we leamed to like in our early life. Arlene is the instructor of a new course The Cultivation of Dates . She has the largest class in the school. It seems as if every one is interested in the subject and she is a very successful teacher. As she is so rushed with work, I am writing for her. I am teaching Flapperism another interesting subject. I have a class of about thirty and all very bright upils. P We girls are planning on listening in on Station W. F. T. B. the 15th, to learn the whereabouts of our fellow students. Your classmates, Marian Oxenham. Well, well, wonders never cease. Hope you girls are getting this program O. K., and wish you good luck teaching. Your subjects sound interesting. Well, we have a letter from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Dear Friends:- I shall always keep in my heart a place for the class of '27. They were such a fine lot of young people and I enjoyed them very much, especially in Civics class. I have given up teaching and at the present time I am known as the greatest and most renowned Palmist and Fortune Teller in the world. I have won great fame in India, Africa, and China. It sure would be an honor to me to foretell the future of the class of '27. Your loving teacher, Miss Ball. Who would have thought that Miss Ball would of ever given up school teaching to tell fortunes. Well, wonder what news this letter has to say. This is sure fun. My Dear Classmates:- Oh what happy remembrances were recalled by your letter. Those are times never to be forgotten. I am soliciting for funds to establish a home for blind mice. People are so heartless and cold toward the little creatures, that I feel that anything that I can do, it is my duty to assist them. Wonder how station W. F. T. B would like to contribute something to this worthy cause? One little realizes the hardships the poor mice bear and every little thing certainly helps provide for them. If you are ever in Norfolk, be sure to call at this institution, it will be well worth your time. Your old friend, Lucile Greene. Yes, if I am ever in Norfolk, I sure will visit your institution. Didn't know Lucile, you had such tender affections for mice. Yes, I think we will contribute something. C 3 5 Ill? 1 Q 2 7 My flgl THE: 012101.12 Well, my gracious, here is another from one of our old teachers, Miss Bond. Dear Friends:- I am now on the list of retired teachers. I have at last settled in a home on Pollmander Walk near Shepherd. I have a beautiful home and well furnished. Among some of the articles that I cherish the most, are the bro- ken chair and clock that won't run, which was presented to me before I left Quincy. I am extending an invitation to the members of the class of '27 to visit me sometime. Your old teacher, Miss Bond. I Well, now I think I will turn the microphone over to Arlene Anthony and let her tell you of some of the letters she has received. Well, good-bye friends, I am certainly glad to have the opportunity to speak to my classmates in this manner. Good aftemoon folks.

If here isn't a letter from our friend Constance I-lodge. Well, can you imagine this? just see what she has to say: Dear Friends:- Am having a wonderful time. I am warbling for the radio people from station W. C. X., Detroit. I sure wish I could be back with you and broadcast from station W. F. T. B. You see I went to college and was taught by a specialist at Yale to warble. That is why I am stationed here at Detroit as chief person on the programs. Now I think I have told you all about my occupation, so will close still remaining, 'Your old classmate, Constance Hodge. Well, Connie, we are sure wishing you the best of luck, and sure would enjoy having you broadcast from our station. Why, here is a letter from our old friend Wallace Downer.

People come for miles and miles to hear my sermons. Will close as I have to preach a sermon tonight. Your old classmate, Dale Older. Well, Dale, we never thought you would be a preacher. We thought probably you would be a traflic cop. We are wishing you the best of luck. ilrl hii ' -24- ,bww-,,, ml THE 01210113 Eff 8 I Well, well, I never thought that our friend Mr. Dage would give up school teaching, but just listen to this: Dear Friends: - As going west was my greatest ambition, I started out in a 1914 Ford car. The roads being so rough and I being bumped around quite a bit, it gave me an inspiration. So when I arrived in the city of Spokane, Wash- ington, I erected a factory for the purpose of making bed snaps for holding the bed clothes on the bed.. I Invented the snaps about ten years ago and am now hireing about 50,000 men. As the call is so great for them, I am planning on enlarging my factory within a year now. If you are ever wanting for a job, just come over and I will give you work. Your old teacher, , Mr. Dage. Well, Mr. Dage, I'm not quite so surprised at vour occupation after all. I heard that you should have had some snaps on your bed while staying at Mrs. McDonalds. Why, look at here, we have a letter from Clarence Braatz. Why, and here he comes walking in the studio door. Well, we will read his letter and see what he has to say anyway. Dear Friends:- As to my occupation, I am operating a dog and cat hospital over near Coldwater. I began my occupation about two years after graduating from Quincy High School. I have about one hundred dogs and fifty cats under my care at the present time. I am planning on enlarging my hospital in the near future, as my business is growing so rapidly. If you have any sick dogs or cats, bring them over. Your classmate, Clarence Braatz. We wish you good luck, Clarence. Well, as our friend Mr. Braatz is with us this afternoon, I will turn the microphone over to him as I think probably he would be delighted to talk from our station. Maybe he has some letters from some of our old classmates, so I will let him continue with our program this afternoon. Well, friends, I am sure glad to have the privilege of speaking to you this aftemoon, and I sure have some letters from our old classmates, which I will now read. Here is one from Detroit, Michigan, dated June 9, 1942. Dear classmates:- I received your letter about a week ago and was sure glad to get it. I have gone into partnership with Henry Ford. He makes new Fords and I am a dealer in second hand cars. I sure hope you success in your new station. - Your old classmate, Chester Lampman. Well, Cher, we wish you good luck in the life you have chosen. Well, friends, look what we have here, a letter from the Strongheart Dog Kennel, dated June 8, 1942. Dear friends:- In regard to your letter, I will try to answer your question, although I really have little time to write. You see, when I left school I bought a German Police Dog from Strongheart Kennel. I trained him so well that I was hired to train the dogs here for the movies. Enclosed find a picture of myself and Al. I named this dog in honor of Al because he is always up to his old tricks. A classmate, Mildred Lucas. Well, Mildred, I sure wish you happiness.

As a class we direct the juniors to make good all our debts which we have bestowed upon the faculty for the past four years. First of all we request that our memory as a brilliant class be ever kept green, that the good deeds we have performed be regularly retold that they may go down as shining examples to coming generationsg that our bad or careless deeds may be carefully covered up and as quickly as possible forgotten so that the words of Shake- speare may be carried out to wit, The good deeds of men live after them, while the evil are often buried with their bones. Knowing that where there is a will, there will always be contestants trying by all means to prove the irrespon- sibility of the departed, we as a measure of protection for our loving heirs have each under gone the test under an expert who will swear in any language as to our perfect sanity. However in every division there is sure to be dissatisfaction, we beg those fortunate individuals whom we deem worthy of becoming our heirs to accept their legacies in good spirit, knowing that we considered they justly deserved or needed. We, the class of 27 will to the freshman class the privilege of being both seen and heard also any over- looked cuds of gum we may have left adhereing to our desks which can stand some more chewing.

Csisnfdl Senior Class i Beatrice Bell Nellie Smith Wallace Downer Laurence Goodman ilrf hii ..28 .. ifl' THE ORIOLEI VALEDICTORY Ephriam N. jones, known as Dick', to his friends, ran a locomotive for fifty years, then retired to begin painting pictures. Imagine the surprise of his friends. Some laughed at it as an impossibility. Now, they are not laughing. In ten years, Dick Jones has painted over five hundred pictures, depicting scenes which he retained in his mind, from his railroad experiences. When he ran a locomotive the desire to be an artist was in him. It remained and now that wish is accomplished. Truly this is a striking, modem-day example of the motto which our class has chosen, We finish to begin. Ephriam jones finished his railroad career to begin painting. Everywhere about us we may observe the carrying out of our motto. It is true in schooling, in science, in nature, and even in human existence. Never can education be finished in one lifetime. We may believe at times that we have attained the goal, have completed some subject. But time disillusions us and we realize that it is only the foundation knowl- edge completed. This basic material must be mastered before we are capable of beginning the advanced knowl- edge offered us. For it is impossible to write a theme until we learn the elements of grammar and the rules of composition. Problems in simple arithmetic can not be worked imtil we leam the four fundamentals, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. History presents many examples of those who finished school only to begin. To my mind the thought of Abraham Lincoln speedily comes. Leaving school after a few months of inconsistent attendance, he knew as much as any frontier teacher. His schooling was finished. Yet he was not content, and continued his fascinated study of English grammar to become the greatest of our speak- ers. Eastern college professors followed Lincoln from place to place, taking notes on his speeches that they might bring to their students something of the genius of Lincoln. Like Lincoln all great men, whether they have much schooling or very little, finish school to begin studying, working and accomplishing new things. One of the greatest fields in which this theory reigns is that of science. An invention is made, completed and then improved. In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. At that time how awed people were to even talk to their nearby neighbors. Now this miracle has been improved to Trans-Atlantic conversations by means of telephone and wireless. Thus in all lines of science, one stage is completed only to begin another. Nature, too, if we allow, will teach us this lesson. Even plant life finished only to begin again. The poppy, dying down in the fall, drops its seeds in the ground. The next spring a plant comes up and the flower blos- soms again. Each year when the leaves fall, the trees seem to die, but the next spring their life begins anew with the bursting of their buds. We may take any example we wish, from the simple radish to the lovely rose, all finish to begin. Not only do plants complete one summers existenceto begin anew the next spring but the completed product by the aid of greater power begins a new phase of life. Luther Burbank produced from the finished lemon and orange the new grape fruit. Probably, if he had lived his dream of a seedless grape-fruit would have been attained. Thus all nature changes but lives on forever. In this way Nature teaches us the greatest truth. For we learn from the flowers that there is no death. We learn from Nature the law of eternal life. For what is true of Nature is true of the human race. One generation finishes their work and the next gener- ation begins. Each individual finishes one task to begin another. Likewise we finish this life to enter one of which we know little. Yet we are certain of its existence because of the teachings of Nature and of the Great Creator. To be truly prepared at the finish of our earthly existence, may we live such a life that we will not fear Death, realizing that it is only another phase of our motto, We finish to begin . Keeping this in mind may we follow the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes: Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine out-grown shell by life's unresting sea! Mildred Lucas. ill' 1 Q 2 7 iiii 429- THE 012101.51 CLASS POEM FINISHED TO BEGIN AGAIN It is finished! Blow the trumpets! Sound the cymbals, beat the gong! For we've run our race and won it! Tell our victory in song! It is finished! We have triumphed! Four long years we've planned and worked, We have earned the right to glory. For we've faltered not, nor shirked. It is finished now our labor! It's a thing that's in the past, We have done what was required, We have earned a rest at last! Ir is finished? Now I wonder, Have we nothing more to do? Though great the effort of our school days, Will it last our whole life through? It is finished! Hardly classmates, It is really just begun, We've long years of work before us, E'er life's race is truly won. It's nut finished! But our school days, For the future pave the way, We have still to keep on fighting, We must work, and we must pray. It is finished! Just our school life! For the future we must plan, List the motto we have chosen, Finished, to begin again . ---Marian Oxenham ilrf lili ' -30..

What a relief it was to those who were waiting on this side, for the news of loved ones who were abroad, to hear that the daily slaughter had at last been ceased . Guns which had not been cool for weeks, were stilled, the erstwhile crowded air was empty, save for the slow flight of crowsg infantrymen rested and smoked in the sun where but yesterday the exposure of even a helmet was met with a sniper's bullet. Contrast this picture with the one you have in your own mind, of the battle in full sway, and Armistice Dayv will take on a new and deeper significance. Still another picture comes to my mind while thinking of this clay: It is of the tired, bloodstained, dough- boys as they hear the order to Cease firing, and with wondering ears receive the glad news that the war is ended. See the tired faces brighten at the thought of the mother and sweetheart they never expected to see again. Even the wounded and dying try to smile on hearing that the cause they were dying for was won. They had not died in vain. From this picture, I would turn to that of the peaceful farms and factories about me today. In some homes are old men and women with tears of happiness still glistening on the faded gray lashes at the sight of the son who was spared to care for them in their last years. In other homes, a quiet sadness reigns. For their loved ones, Armistice Day came too late. They are think- ing of a lonely soldier's grave, In Flanders Fieldf' , Can any human being look on all these pictures and still say that Armistice Day should not hold a place of importance in the history of the world? For my part were I writing the history of this nation, above the sur- render at Appomatox, above the birth of Lincoln, high at the top, on the same line with July the fourth, seventeen seventy-six, I would place that glorious date in our history, November the eleventh, nineteen hundred and eighteen.

Nope, answered Chick, trying so hard to be brave. Red started down the street then paused. I'd like to take you home fer supper but ma's purty tired after doin' all them washings-and we ain't got much-and-Oh, Chick, I'm so sorry! I'm sorry ya ain't got no ma! I'm sorry ya ain't got no place to live. He could say no more for his little heart was full of pity for this boy who had been his friend and comrade through thick and thin. He picked up his paper bag and soon was out of sight, leaving Chick alone. And Chick was always to be alone, as far as he knew. His mother had died just two weeks before leav- ing him alone in the world with only her teachings to protect him. She had taught him always to protect weak things, to learn to chose the good things in life and to always be a little gentleman. It was truly remarkable how the mind of a ten year old boy had absorbed her teachings. I do not know how he happened to be called Chick for his real name was James Mathew Drake. Perhaps it was because of the likeness his golden ringlets had to a little fluffy yellow chicken. His eyes were large, deep- set and blue, very expressive and fringed with long black lashes. The eye-brows were perfectly arched. On this particular evening, Chick was tired. Where was going to sleep? It was very foggy and looked as if it might rain any minute. He picked up his empty paper bag and sat down in a door way. He sat there only a few minutes when he heard voices. He peeked around the comer of the door way and about five feet from him were two men. At first he could only hear a mumble-then the words came plainer. One by one he caught them and their meaning. Mr. Wentworth, owner of a large factory-important papers-stop driver on road- That was enough! He knew their plans and the dangcr that would come to the driver-and Oh! those papers! What could they mean! What could he do! Mr. Wentworth always bought a paper from him and gave it back to be sold again, always was kind to him. He would try to do something. He would do something. He crept out of the door way slowly and very quietly, walked along the side of the building until he reached the corner. He couldn't be seen because of the dense fog and the dimly lighted street. When he reached the comer he began to run. How well he knew these streets that had been his only home for the last two weeks. He knew, too, where Mr. Wentwonh lived because he had delivered papers there. It seemed that his feet could not go fast enough. just suppose that he shouldn't get there in time-or suppose he had misunder- stood them, would he be making a fool of himself. No! No! He had understood correctly and, on he ran. Now he was coming to the wider streets, just one more block and he would be there. There were a great many cars passing. When would he be able to cross? He would try. He had to cross that street. He would wait for that one car-then across. The car passed and out he ran into the street. Another car that he had not noticed in his excitement was coming from the other direction. It struck him and threw him to the curb in front of Mr. Wentworth's home. The driver stopped and asked him if he was hurt. Little Chick said no and the car drove away. He got to his feet-everything went black before him but he wouldn't give up. He slowly crawled up the steps of the beautiful white house, reached the door and rang the bell. Oh! how his head ached! Would they never answer the bell! just then the great door opened and a man of about fifty years stood in the door way. He asked what he wanted. How sweely little Chick's face loomed out of the darkness of the night-the great eyes were eager and the golden hair seemed to make a halo around the white face. I wanta see Mr. Wentworth, said the little voice. I wanta see- and he sank unconscious at the feet of the man. He was carried into the large hall and Mr. Wentworth was called. He was placed in a large upholstered chair and some water was forced between his lips. Presently the eyes opened and he spoke. Mr. Wentwonh-those papers-they're gonna kill that driver-and get those -papers. A sound of an- guish came from the parted lips and he was unconscious. He had delivered his message-he had done his duty. When Chick opened his eyes again he thought he was dreaming. He was lying fiat on his back in the softest, most beautiful bed he had ever seen. The bright morning sunshine was flooding through the window, and there in its bright rays stood Mr. Wentworth. In an instant it all came back to him-the fog-men's voices- the car striking him-the man's kind eyes-and Oh! those papers! Mr. Wentworth was speaking now-he seemed to know the thoughts that were going through Chick's mind. It's all right , he said, Those papers are safe and the rufiians caught-and all because of a little gentleman. Tears came to Chick's eyes. A gentleman-a little Gentleman. That's what his mother had wanted him to be. im 1 Q 2 '7 Mi ' -39- FII THE ORIOLE Chick, I want you to be my little boy, Mr. Wentworth continued. I Want you to come and live with me. His little face lighted with joy-then sobered. Can I help Red and his mother? he asked. You can was the reply. Can I always be a little gentleman? he asked again earnesly. You can. And he was. Lucille Greene MASQUERADE - Second Award A thick fog hung over the little town of Camsville, making buildings and people alike into shapeless objects. With a low muffled sound the breakers beat against the rocks off Dead Man's Point. Fog homs blew cease- lessly with their waming message of danger. Suddenly out of the mist and rain two shapes appeared which soon proved to be two young girls. Mary,', said one of them. Do you suppose we shall get there in time? Oh, I'm sure we will, Peggy, the other replied. The schoolhouse never closes until late. We must, for Miss Skinner will just about kill me if I don't have my Geometry tomorrow and I'll never have time to get it in the moming. I don't see what made me forget it anyway, sighed Peggy. The door to the hallway was open and the girls entered, their footsteps, resounding with a hollow echo through the empty place. My, I feel spooky, giggled Peggy. I don't think th zre's anything more ghostly than a deserted schoolhouse. It's not deserted, said Mary. 'Tm sure I heard voices a minute ago. The girls slipped silently down the hall and into the study room. There Peggy found the forgotten book and together they started for the door. It was now nearly dirk and the rows of desks were like crouching phantoms in the faint light. I hear steps, whispered Mary. It is probably the janitor, replied Peggy reassuringly. Mary hurried to open the door but it would not move. What can be the matter! she breathed. It must be stuck. They pulled again but the door held fast. Ladies, would you like to get out of here alive? said a deep voice so near them that they both jumped back as if struck, and a man, his face covered with a mask, stepped out from the shadows. If so, he continued, Go immediately to this address. Knock and you will be given a box to take to that deserted house at the end of Boulder Lane. Do exactly as I tell you if you value your life for your every step will be watched. With a leer, he opened the door against which he had merely braced his foot and the girls found themselves free. For a moment they were too stunned to move or speak, then they started down the street rtmning, for it was now very dark, the gloom pierced only dimly by the street lights. Oh Peggy, I'm frightened! sobbed Mary, We never can go to char horrid old house, and it will be so dark out there. f We just won't go. We're silly to let a stranger scare us like that. We'll go home and forget about it, cried Peggy. Oh no you won't. You arcn't rid of me yet. said a voice and the same man stepped out from behind a tree. You see you really are watched he added. And I think you will find it wise to obey orders. he seemed to melt away into the gloom, and the girls silently started on. The address they were to go to was on a well knovm street and they experienced no difficulty in finding the place. It was a large brilliantly lighted house. Evidently a party was in progress for there was much sound of music and laughter from within. Mary, I'm afraid to knock, we may be kidnapped or killed or most anything, whispered Peggy. So am I,', she answered, but I'm afraid to stay out. So hand in hand they mounted the steps and knocked timidly. A jolly motherly woman came to the door. Oh yes, yes, she said, peering over her glasses. Yes, you are the girls. Wait a moment please. As she turned, Mary's over strung nerves snapped. Oh Madam, she cried, We are in horrible trouble, can't you help us? Well lets see, maybe I could, she said, and stepped aside. In her place the girls beheld the evil leer-ing face of the man they had met at the schoolhouse. Suddenly he moved forward and said gruflly. You girls go to that house or you'll be sorry. Minds you, don't tell anyone where you are going or why. Then holding their gaze with his own, he reached behind a door and brought out a box. The girls took it and found it very heavy. Then started again, trembling with fatigue and fear. ilrf hii il THE ORIGLE The way to the deserted house led through several lonely streets, inhabited by foreigners of all nationalities and descriptions. Happily, due to the disagreeable weather, few were abroad. Finally they came to the last glimmering street light and saw the first grotesque rocks, which gave the name Boulder Lane. They were now in complete darkness intensified by the thick fog. They stumbled along over uneven ground, too frightened and tired to speak. The mist was now falling more heavily, and the wind sighed through the trees with a dismal lonesome sound. It was pitch dark and the girls could only feel their way along the broken rough path. The way seemed endless and the box grew steadily heavier as by magic. At last the old house loomed up before them. A rift in the clouds came just then, and the moon peeped through, shedding a ghostly light over the forsaken place. The door ,sagging forlornly and the two windows on either side, wet with rain, gave the appearance of an aged sorrowful old crone. Mary the first to break the long silence. Peggy, let's just set the box down here and run as fast as we can, back home, she whispered. All right, replied Peggy. They placed the box on the rickety porch and broke into a run. Oh, ho, not so fastf' said the now familiar deep voice and in a trice the girls found themselves seized and boume away through the night, whither they knew not. For a minute Mary lay quite still, then she began to kick and squirm with all her might. Peggy on the other hand was puzzled. Something seemed familiar in that voice and the carriage of the man who had spoken. Suddenly the girls found themselves before a lighted house into which they were carried. At first they were dazed, then as their eyes grew accustomed to the brilliant light, they found themselves gazing into a ring of their friends smiling face. Why?-How?-What? gasped Peggy. What are you doing here and why did you bring us here in this awful fashion? sobbed Mary. Oh please clon't be mad with us, begged another girl. Turning, Peggy saw a call young man with the evil leering mask in his hand. Oh, so it was you! she cried, her eyes fiashing angrily. And I suppose you thought it was smart to scare us nearly to death and make us come clear out here on a wild goose chase. And what is in the box? Pm sorry. It was a mean thing to do, but we didn't realize how much it would frighten you. We thought you might suspect it was a Hallowe'en joke. As for the box, here it is. A real surprise party indeed! It was impossible to remain angry very long under the influence of so much fun and laughter and the girls soon forgot their terrible fright. But, laughed Peggy later. Don't ever try to surprise us so emphatically again. I could feel my hair turn- ing gray every step I tookll' Helen Orcutt. im 1 Q 2 7 iiii ' .41- vv 'rr'v ffii THE OIQIOLI-3 HOW BILLY SHOT THE BEAR Third Award It was a hot summer day and Billy was tired of playing horse with his sister and of swinging under the old apple tree. So he said, I will take my gun and go hunting in the Helcls back of the barn. Perhaps I will go as far as the creek and I may see a bear. So he shouldered his gun manfully and set out. How he wished that he could see something to shoot! To be sure there were the birds-robins, bluebirds, meadow larks and wrens. But they seemed so happy and sang so sweetly that it seemed a pity to shoot them. A rabbit scampered across his path with his little cotton rail bobbing at every jump and a red squirrel ran chattering up a big oak. But, thought Billy, anyone can shoot a rabbit or a squirrel. They are so commonf' Billy was after larger game. He would never waste pow- der on a rabbit or a squirrel. No, indeed. The sunis rays were so scorching and Billy got so warm walking that, when he arrived at the creek, he thought he would lie down and rest a little while. How cool it was under the trees and how still it seemed. Not a sound was heard except the twittering of the birds in the trees, the babbling of the brook over the stones and the tink- ling of the sheep bell in the neighboring pasture. Billy thought if he lay very quiet perhaps a bear would come out of the woods. How he wished one would. Wouldn't he love to kill a bear! Harkl What was that? A twig snapped and then another. Then Billy saw a brown head thrust through the bushes and two bright eyes looked around. Then a big body came lumbering into view. A It was a bear! Billy's 'heart beat fast and he trembled so that he could hardly raise his gun to his shoulder. But he was not afraid. Oh, no! It was just the chance he was waiting for. He pulled the trigger and shot once-twice. But bruin only growled and stood on his hind legs. Another shot! Bang! The big beast was coming right toward him. He was almost upon him. Oh! Oh! Help! Help! yelled Billy. And as he yelled he awoke with a start and sat up, for he had been asleep on the cool mossy bank. And there was no bear in sight. Only the sun was sinking in the west and it was time for him to go home to dinner. So that was how Billy shot a bear and it could hardly have been otherwise for all the gun that Billy had was a toy gun which Uncle Jim had given him for Christmas. Mariari Oxenham. COMMEN CEMENT To each and all of us come times When Farewell seems the saddest wordg For old familiar friends and scenes Will ne'er again be seen or heard. And now we face this time of grief, For we must each forsake these days, We've reached a milestone in our lives, It marks the parting of the ways. But still this parting, dear classmates, Will gilded be with bits of cheer, In spite of all the joy we've had, We would not tarry always here. For there are other heights to climb And other races to be rung New obstacles in duties path, And other work to be well done. Prepared are we for higher things, So let's go on with glad free hearts, Resolved tt do our very best, . In Life's great play, fulfill our parts. -Helen Orcutt. illf lili T -42- 'I THE 012101.13 DIARY OF AN OLD FASHIONED GIRL TUES. SEPT. 5-I believe I'm going to like our new teacher this year. She seems awful nice and she's a lot different than Miss Hawkins was last year. This morning Pa went to town with our new lumber wagon that he bought at jonathan Oldstyle's auction the other day so I rode 'cause it isn't many mornings that Iilli have a chance to ride and besides I wanted to ride in it before Mary did--she thinks she's so smart, just because she's my big sister. I got to school rather early and hadn't seen the new teacher yet, but I thought I might as well go right on in and get acquainted, even if I was the first one there. She was looking through some books on the shelves and then she started to me. . She asked me what my name was and how old I was and what grade I was in. She seemed real surprised for some reason or other when I told her I was fifteen and in the sixth grade, but I think thatis doing pretty good and the folks are real proud of mei I expect I did act kinda bashful, but Ma says I'm getting over it and thinks I'l1 be still better of it after awhile. Well, when the other kids got there she asked them the same questions she did me and told us what books we had to have and then said we might go home for that day. I just got my new Physiology-guess that's what you call it and I'll bet itill be awful hard and she'll probably be cross too. I'm going to use Phoebe's old Arithmetic 'cause Ma says us kids can't all have new books every year for money's too scarce for that these here days. WED. SEPT. 6-We had our first classes today and teacher doesn't have us do anything like we did last year and I know whether I'm going to like that or not. She told Daniel Jenkins that he could dust the erasers and I don't think that's fair. I'm just as good as he is any old day and besides his father isn't on the school board and mine is. Well, Ma is hollering for me to wash my feet and get for bed. She says she aint going to let me go barefoot no more if I don't act better, so I'll have to go and get the milk pail and wash my feet I suppose 'cause it don't take half so long to get dressed in the morning if I don't have to lace up those pesky shoes. , THURS. SEPT. 7-Amy Decker and I saw a letter on teacher's desk this moming while she was gone out to teach the kids how to play Pom-Pom-Pullaway, 'cause shels from Normal and they teach them all the new games. That letter had a man's hand writing on it and as near as we can figure out she must have a beau. Pa was listenin' over the telephone last night and he heard her father has quite a lot of money and that he runs a laundry. And I don't wonder at it by all those pretty clothes she wears. Why, some of the pret- tiest gingham dresses and Ma says she ought to save them to wear to church. FRI. SEPT. 8.-Well, I don't have to go to school tomorrow and Ilm glad. Pa offered to take teacher back home tonight but she said no, she had a way, so when it came time some swell car drove up and it was her beau! Ch, well, Pa says he's going to send me to High School when I get big and probably I'll have some nice cloihes and catch a beau too. Here's hopin'. Cecile Ryan.

There was a pleading expression in them that cut one to the heart. His hair was also dark and curled in fluffy ring- lets around his little white face. The distinctly arched brows and lashes, that rested on the pale cheeks when the eyes were closed, were jet black. The small mouth was curved and red-from fever and not from health exercise. For he was a little cripple boy whom I had found one day selling newspapers on the corner' of the crowded street. His condition had suddenly grown worse and he was confined to his wheel chair. He never complained and showed his unseliishness by wanting to share the fruit I had brought him with his brothers and sisters. As we sat looking out the window, a car came by driving at full rate of speed. A little dog ran in front of the car and was knocked to the side of the street senseless. A scream came from the boy's lips and tears streamed down his face. His deep sympathy was shown in noticing this accident that most people would have passed. Now it was time for me to go, I noticed his eyes were again filling with tears-this time in gratitude for my coming to see him. Truly, this little body and mind contained those characteristics that make people most worth while-unsellish- ness, sympathy, and gratitude. Lucille Greene. AUNTIE SUE I do not know whether she is considered handsome or not. I only know that to me and to all the neighbor- hood children, she is beautiful. Her full red lips parted frequently over strong white teeth in a smile which spread over her whole countenance and lighted her gray eyes with twinkling points of light. I remember the little crinkly lines which come around her eyes when she smiles. Her hands are large and strong. They are rough and reddened with rnuch washing of clothes and dishes, with much baking, scrubbing, ironing and garden- ing. Much of this labor is labor of love, given gratuitously to neighbors for their pleasure. How many batches of cookies have those willing hands baked for hungry youngsters? None, except God, knows. Least of all she herself. How many bruised fingers have those hands tenderly wrapped? How many of mittens or stockings has she given to needy little boys and girls? With a heart big enough to hold a whole village of youngsters, yet she has been denied the great privilege of being a mother. She is only an old maid- our dear Auntie Sue.

In this club they would study customs and many other interestingsubjects cone cerning the ancient Greeks and Romans, because the class hour was devoted to a study of the Latin text only. So accordingly, they met and drew up a Constitution. Ar the first meeting the ofiicers were elected and other business which a new organization would be likely to have was taken up. Early in the year a study was made of each of the great Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. This furnished a background from which to work. During the course of the school year, such topics as the following have been discussed: ' Roman Houses Roman Amusements Roman Christmas Famous Men and Women Famous Writers? Roman Architecture Roman Sculpture and Painting Drama and Music', March 2nd, the club gave 'a play, The I-Ienpeck Holler Gossip. This was a clever one act comedy and was decidedly a success. As this school year comes to a close, the Latin Club stands. out as one of the livest and most popular organ. izations of the school. They have certainly lived up to their motto, Fit via vi, or Energy wins the way. LATIN CON UNDRUMS 1--What do boys like to do while driving an auto? Res. 2-One thing you don't like to do is? Haec. 3-Whom do we see working on railroads? Hunc. 4-What does the other fellow do when we have to fight? Sit annus. 5-What do you do when you look? Si. 6---What do you do when you get angry?

MUSIC Music, thy charms have thrilled and enthralled us, Thy depths and entricacies too have appalled us. We're startled by triplets , repeats and strange blendings, We needs must endure all thy strange forms of endings. It seems that composers must drink deep of wine For some of their product is surely divine. We hear thee in church and we hear thee celestial, But neighbors at mid-night would make thee seem bestial. Its True false maligners have brought thee to shame, Have ruined and sullied thy glorious narne. But WE would salute thee, oh, magical lute- lVlan's noblest achievement, Heaven's high attribute. im 1 Q 2 '7 I1If FRENCH CLUB Top row- left to right Next row Next row Ernest Knirk, Robert Hendrick, Miss Rath, Esther Duncan, Arlene Gilbert Ray Kriser Myrtle Kaiser, Lena Chase, Elma Keeler, Lucille Greene.

This was organized during the first part of the school year. At the first meeting, the ofiicers were elected, the name, flower, and motto chosen. The motto Vouloir c'est pouvoir which means Where there's a will, there's a way, has proved to be a very good one for the club. All of the meetings have been very interesting, but the meeting at Christmas time seems to be one which should be mentioned, for it was very impressive. We had a miniature stable, wherein lay the baby Christ child in a tiny manger, with other dolls representing Mary, joseph, and the three wise men assembled about it. This is called a creche. The room was lighted by burning tapers, and while one member played softly on the piano, the rest of the members formed in a processional singing a French Christmas song, Il est ne, as they marched slowly around the room. Another member read a Christmas story, Noel, and another sang a French song, and still another member gave a paper Christmas in France. After the program, were distributed from the little Christmas tree, which adomecl the room. During the year one meetin was devoted entirely to Joan of Arc, whose name stands throughout the world as that of one of the greatest ieroines of history.

In this Spring Concert were pre- sented follc songs of different lands and many lovely Spring songs and other more classical selections. The two outstanding numbers were The Lord Is My Shepherd by Peter Lutkin, and Serenade by Schubert. Both were arranged in two parts for children's voices. SOCIETY Do we realize what an important part social activities play in our lives? They are as necessary to our de- velopment as our lessons. For it is at these functions that we meet and really learn to lcnow our friends and classmates. Problems and studies are indeed essential, but we soon will forget the greater part which we have learned in boolcs. In the future we will remember the friends and surroundings with which we came in contact at these social evenrsg and the school spirit and loyalty which is instilled within us will remain in our hearts always. ' During the year three important events are held for the entire High School: The Q Banquet, The Fresh- man Reception and the Faculty Reception. The first of these, the Freshman Reception, was given by the Sophomores at the I. O. O. F. Hall. The Hall was very prettily decorated with streamers of blu: and white. The motto, Welcome Freshmen, greeted everyone as they came ing while the Sophomore motto, Life is what you make it, adomed the platform. After an interesting program given by different members of the High School, dancing and light refreshments were enjoyed. At a late hour all departed voting the Sophomores ideal entertainers. Next came the Q banquet, one of the most popular social events of the year. The rooms of the Odd- fellow's Hall were very tastefully decorated in the High School colors of orange and black. About one hun- dred thirty were present to enjoy the sumptuous banquet, and to listen to the program. After the presentation of the Q's by Mr. Dage, dancing occupied the time. The Sophomores entertained again, this time at the Faculty Reception held in May. The I. O. O. F. Hall was prettily decorated in the Sophomore colors and everyone enjoyed the interesting program and dancing which occupied the evening. The junior-Senior Reception held in May is indeed worthy of mention. Toasts were responded to by differ- ent members of the Faculty and classes following the delightful dinner. CLASS PARTIES Seniors-The first party of the season was held at the home .of Marian Oxenham early in October. Games and riddles occupied the first of the evening, after which a weenie roast furnished fun for all. For their next class party, the Seniors met with Mary Esther Trenary. The great event of the evening was a mock wedding. In january Elma Keeler entertained at a coasting party. Everyone left, hoping for another gathering soon. juniors-At Hallowe'en, a masquerade party was held at Eva Gallop's. Ghosts, clowns, witches, and other strange characters were present. Following the games, light refreshments were served. I The Blackman home was the place of the next party, where the time was pleasantly spent with games. Sophomores-In October about thirty-six young people enjoyed a party at the home of Arlene Duntong in December Olga Gilbert entertained the class at her house. Freshmen-In November a crowd of self conscious but very happy Freshmen gathered at the home of Ruth Blackman for their first class party. Soon after, Ida Mae Inghram entertained at her home at Marble Lake. Helen Orcutt. ill' 1 Q 2 7 Mi if T HE O R Io L E 4 KWH DEE 2 gt? il If 1 5' 572 - 7 YH i Ji ill x 4 it ui J 5 1 6. F, x U.

There were only nine out. The next night a few more came out and prospects looked better. Only three of the players had any experience. Many nights there were not enough for one team, but Coach Dage gave them some good workouts and they did very good considering the weight and experience of the men. The first game was with the Alumni. They beat us by a score of 12 and 0. Our next game, September 24th, was with Homer. Lakefi eld was a small pond and it rained all through the game. The score was a tie, 0 and 0. On October 18th we played with Jonesville. We won with a score of 12 to 0. On October 15th Reading trounccd us 24 to 0. We lost the next game on the 22nd of October with Tekonsha. The score was 25 to 0. The team is not coming up to expectations this year and it looks as if we were going to be a back number in the football games. Our next game was on Amiistice day at Reading. Two or three of our best men were unable to play. The score was 31 to O, their favor. The last game was with Union City. We lost with a score of 19 to O. Considering all but three of our players were without experience, they played a good game and built a founda- tion for next year when we look forward to a winning team. SONG OF THE FOOTBALL PHANTOM '18 And face to face array, From space above their heads I hear a slow voice say: Beware men, take care men, The kickoff' s drawing near, Be sure men, you're true men, No weaklings enter here. When scrimmage close throws up the And sidelines all are praying, It seems above the battle lust I hear the same voice saving: Take care now, beware now, No time to whine or whimper, Go slow now, your soul now din On trial for strength and temper. And crowds go wild with gladness, The voice weaves o'er that mighty throng The spell of an enchantress: Pm a rough game, a tough game, My time is one great thrill, I'm a lean game, a clean game, There's fame in every spill. The game is o'er, the crowds are gone, But o'er the field presiding The spirit of the game sings on Beneath the goal posts hiding: 'Tm a wild game, no child's game, I'rn testing men each year, Work not for fame, but play the gameg No cowards enter here. -Alton Dobson 1 s 1 Q 2 '7 iffy -65.. THE OQIOLE THE FOOTBALL TEAM Three cheers for Quincy's football boys, For Quincy's team so clear and true, We hail their strength and steady poise Three cheers for all who gained a UQ. To Dage the coach is credit due He taught them craft and form and play, He said, Be calm, be brave, be true Whetha you win or lose the day. Our team this year was young and light, Three Freshman boys have lent their aid, How Otto Luce and Hodge did fight! And Hiclcol: sure a fine right made.. Penoyar of the Sophomore class To him we raise a hearty cheer, And Kunkler's name we would not pass They? ve made him captain for next year. And Hildebrand and Ryan played, A man both staunch and true was Ray, Emest and Oliver gave their aid, Oh Boy, these Junior lads can play. Four stalwart Seniors played Football Hughey half back and Lampman end, Wdfred as Nlanager, and quarterback Hall, To Quincy's need their strength did lend. To H.

It is Halloweien. Barbara Ferguson has been disappointed be- cause her best friend has failed to appear, thus breaking a college vow that the two should always be together on this mystic day. Tom, anxious to outline the plot of his drama, gathers the family around him, and has just finished his first sentence, Well, it begins like this- when the doorbell rings and a mysterious visitor makes her appearance, with a story of a struggle with bandits at the entrance of the adjoining house. At the flashing of two lights outside she leaves abruptly. Later, a visit from Ralph Overton, a young journalist and former friend of Barbara, and the sensational entry of Peggy disguised as a Hallowe'en witch, lead up to the discus- sion of the disappearance of Anthony Allison, a wealthy young fellow whose home is in the city. Ralph, always eager for a good story, advances the theory that Anthony's only relative, a step-mother who does not quitc belong, may have had something to do with the affair. He adds that he hoped, through a former member of his staff who had obtained the position of secretary with Mrs. Allison, to leam of any suspicious actions in the household, and regrets the necessary departure from the city of the secretary. Bar- bara, who has just lost her position, begs to be substituted for the secretary. Tom and Ralph object, but Peggy, who knows Mrs. Allison, volunteers to speak for Barbara, and eventually secures the place for her. After her guests leave, Barbara has a queer experience. As she idly gazes into the mirror which the Hal- lowe'en witch has left, she sees the reflection of a gruesome figure crossing a plank which has been laid from the window of the opposite house to that of the Ferguson apartment. The figure proves to be a very weak and exhausted man who shows every evidence of a struggle, and who is, unquestionably, a gentleman. He rests for a moment, and when Barbara leaves the room he hastily scribbles a note, places it with a ring upon the ta- ble and staggers from the house. As Barbara, returning, stands bewildered, she glances at the newspaper. Im- mediately, it fiashes upon her that the unknown visitor may be the missing Anthony Allison. The next day, in the exploration of the house next door, the stranger is found unconscious, and for two days Barbaraiand her younger brother and sister, Larry and Fredericka, care for him, finding that his memory is quite gone. At this point Barbara, who has become Mrs. Allison's secretary, is met with the astonishing news that An- thony Allison has returned, having been at a hunting iodoe, and confirming the suspicion that the stranger was Allison. Fredericka brings the news that the unknown patient has gone. The returned Anthony seems dif- ferent in many ways. Bar not until Fredericka makes the discovery that he is not the man to whom they have given aid, is there a suspicion of an imposter. Complications follow. The mystery is solved bv the exciting dis- covery that Mrs. Allison, the step-mother, whose first husband had been a twin brother of Anthony's father and whose son, also called Anfhony, is an exact likeness of his cousin, is boldly attempting to substitute her own son for the heir and to effect the real Anthony's removal. Cn account of the likeness of the two, Mrs. Allison had never revealed the fact of hef' own son's existence, and the plan might have been successful had not the real Anthony escaped his captors, seized his substitute, asserted his rights and proved his identity before it was too late. The scheming step-mother, the son and his wife-who proves to be the mysterious visitor at the Ferguson apartment-quietly leave the city. And what began so excitedly on Hallowe'en ends happily and peacefully as Barbara, again gazing in the mirror, finds there Anthony's refiection. And just as you think it is ended, back you go to the very point where Tom begins his story. And you know that it all is the plot of the play he hopes to write, acted out before your eyes! ill' 1 Q 2 '7 ljii ' THE POT BDILERS lDf211T121tlCSl Top row, left to right- Dale Older, Miss Parry, Ernest Knirlc, Clarence Hughey.

You duck your head as you hear the large shell go by but they are far passed before you hear them. Silence reigns. The watches tick steadily on. Four oiclock comes. Over the top! The men go up and over amid the bursting shell and charge the enemies trench. They take it and capture the enemy, but what do they leave behind them? ' A-a-a-a-a-h! What is that? It sounds like some wild animal. But no! It's a dying soldier. A young man wounded. His groaning and hysterical cries are terrible to hear. If some of the men who would start a war were Red Cross nurses on the battleield for a while and could hear these pitiful sounds it is likely there would be no more wars. Oh! Oh! Oh! What terrible pain they have to suEer. Many of them die when the greater part of their life should be before them and not blighted by the roll of war. In the hospital all is quiet except an occasional groanfrom a wounded soldier or a shriek from one who has gone insane from The nurses move noiselessly about in their white uniforms comforting and helping them to overcome their E-r-i-n-gl Another soldier needs her attention and she leaves the one that she is and goes to another She keeps this up day and night until she is so tired she would like to rest but she cannot neglect her duty. In the meantime out on the field-Boom! Boom! Snap! Crack! Will it ever stop and let our boys come back to us? Toot! Toot! The bugle blares! In the hush that follows the word is passed along- Cease firing . The war is over. Hurrah! Hurrah! Hear the boys shout with joy. But what of the mother or sweetheart who waits for her soldier boy's return, when he does not come. There is no joy in the end of the war for them. No joyous greet- ings. Only sorrow and dissappointment in the heavy beating of their hearts. And all this because some man wants more power. Wants to rule the whole world. But he cannot do it. This world and the people in it were not made to be ruled over by one earthly power. Will the world ever become civilized enough so that there will be no need for war? ill! 1 Q 2 '7 Mi -74.- 'I THE ORIOLE Tiff PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The Quincy Parent-Teacher's Association was organized November, 1926.

And when this kid of Quincy High, Completes his work with honor high He finds it pays to know things well, That he may these to others tell. When asked a question he does not guess He knows, and answers No or Yes, When set a task the rest canit do, He buckles down to put it through. For the kid who wins is the kid who works, Who neither labor nor trouble shirks, Who uses his hands, his head, his eyes, The kid who wins is the kid who tries. -Mary Esther Trenary. f 1 Q Ill' 19 2 7 lily all THE 012101.52 ALUMNI MEMBERSHIP CLASS OF '76 A.

The Sophomore youth is next in line, One step farther is he, One step nearer our goal he stands, With promise of manhood to be. Three steps up this ladder of Fame, Stands the Junior boy and girl, About to enter the homeward stretch, Of life with it's bustle and whirl. On the highest step of this ladder of Fame, A Senior group, we spy, Ready to enter the School of Life, With honor from Quincy High. So through four long years of High School, We shall'ever strive to gain, A place at the top of the ladder, The top of the ladder of Fame. Esther Duncan.

She restoreth my gum, she canneth me from American Literature class, for her namesake. Yea, though I walk through the halls in silence, I fear her, for she watcheth me, her ideas and assignments terrifieth me. I am prepared for bawling outs in the presence of my classmates. . I annointeth my books with study. My marks runneth down.

And the evening and the morning were the third day. . 8. And the Bluffers and Cutters said: Let there be ponies and horses to convey us up the steep bluffs and across the deep cuts. 9. And there were ponies and horses, and the Bluffers and Cutters made great stables for them that they might be an ever present help in time of trouble. 10.

And they were seen no more in the seats which had known them, for their knowledge was built upon shifting horses and ponies. Seen on someone's Botany paper.

The conduct of a pupil inversely as to the square of the distance from the teacher. Miss Parry: For what was Abraham Lincoln noted? Robert Stroupe: His memory. Miss Parry: What makes you think that his memory was so great? Robert: They erected a monument to it. Dalton Becker: A man in Philadelphia has Ben Franklin's watch. Francis Gallop: That's nothing, I know a man who has Adam's apple. Hall: Say, Hughey, that's a beautiful mouth of yours, it ought to be on a girl's face. Hughey: Well, I seldom miss an opportunity. A father took his small son to visit the National Capitol. While there they visited the legislature. Arriving in the moming they found the Chaplain just closing his prayer.

Soph: No, they warmed themselves on the mountain ranges. ' Clarence Braatz: Why is a sheet of theme paper like a lazy dog? Dalton Becker: I give up. Clarence: Because a theme paper is an ink lined plane, and an inclined plane is a slope up, and a slow pup is a lazy dog. Mr. Balfour: Sir, I think I heard you talking during my lecture on the atomic theory. Clarence Hughey: You must be mistaken, sir, I never talk in my sleep. Louis Stachel: I want the life of Caesar.

Lawrence: Why, with ark lights, of course. Mr. Dage: Chemically, what is a diamond? Class: Carbon. Mr. Dage: Yes, a diamond is carbon, but coal is also carbon. Class: Yes, sir. Mr. Dage: Now how can we account for the fact that coal and diamonds are so unlike? Alton Dobson: Ask the price. Mrs. Heydon: If Shakespeare were alive today, wouldn't he be considered a remarkable man? Eva Gallop: Certainly, he would be three hundred years old. Clarence 'Hughey: There is something preying on my mind. Alton Dobson: Don't worry, it will soon starve. Merle Kunkler: I wonder if they really meant anything by it. Theodore Penoyer: By what? Merle: Why, I bought a ticket to a lecture on Fools , and it said admit one. ill' 1927 My 1 S fill THE 012101.51 JOKES Mr. Balfour: Miss Bell, what is space?

At last she conceived a way to create their interest-to write an account of the ball game. It seemed that she was success- ful, with one exception, the boys threw themselves at the task, and envolved youthful masterpieces.
