Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1920 volume:

FOREWOR D In the four years which have elapsed since our first Annual was published our school has rown to be one of the highest in rank in Northeast Nebraska. We have tried to let you receive this idea from our success in all our school activities of the past year. We want the Annual to be a gentle reminder of happy hi h school days to those who have been in school this year. To the Alumni we want it to be the means of conveying to them an adequate story. —EDITOR. ZDfbication To the memory of Georgia C. Bruner. A true schoolmate who passed away from us this year leaving many faithful friends. SCHOOL BOARD DR. A. E. COOK MR.J.W. ST AC 1 KM AN MR.C. H. RANDALL MR. M. I . BUOL MR. CL O. DIvl.NES MR.

' SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Class Flower—Iris. Motto— More Beyond.” Colors—Cream White and Sky Blue. The first day of school in the fall of 1915 dawned bright and clear, as the first day of school usually does. The Class of ‘20 assembled thirty-five strong. The first few days we may have been green and seemed apparently to have lost our bearings: “By Heck ' the class soon showed the rest of the school that they could make “some grades and were worthy of some consideration. At our first class meeting Tubby Bernard was elected President, and Miss Sixta advisor. Activities soon commenced along social and athletic lines. As Freshmen we were there for the parties and the Hallowe’en blowout, also not wishing to be left behind in athletics, four of the boys made a standing as members of the Basketball and Baseball teams. The following year as Sophomores, although the class was reduced to twenty members it kept up its standing in social circles and had more than half the real stuff for athletes. Neman Black was elected captain of the basketball. The choice this year for class was again Tubby Bernard and Miss Learner for advisor. Tubby was compelled to give up school for the time because of a serious illness and his place was taken by the ice-President, Donald Larson. The Junior year found some new faces among our members. The leadership in athletics was put upon our shoulders: Basketball captain. Iletnan Black; Track captain. Charles Whitney. The choice for class president was Donald Larson, choice for class advisor was Clifford Penn (William). Two of our members became debaters for the R. H. S. The Juniors gave some banquet to Seniors May 1st. I his, our Senior year, finds the class of 20 with a membership of twenty. An early meeting' was held at which Ksther Chrisman was chosen class president and Miss Stewart class advisor. Ktshc quit school and llar-risuii Kinkaid, vice president, took the president's chair. Again we take the lead in athletics by having six men on the football team and four on the basketball team with Don Larson as captain; two on the girls’ basketball team with Marie Lorge as captain, and we will do our best for the field meet. As Seniors we have aroused “pep for athletics, pushed the Annual and have and will push with all we have for the school. CHARLES WHITNEY. CLASS SONG We love to sing of our R. II. S., our noble Alma Mater: In all the west she is the best and none will ever l e greater: The ties that bind us to high school days no power can ever sever. For we'll be true to R. II. S. and the Red and White forever. SENIOR CLASS POEM “Rime of Class of 1920“ In the fall of 1916 Thirty Freshmen, young and fair. Filled old R. 11. S. with gladness. For a class like them was rare. We’ve stood high in all our classes. As High School we’ve journeyed through, W e have marked our time of passing With a mark entirely new. Many who began High with us Have dropped out along the way. Blit we’ve gained some fine new members W ho have honored us each day. Chuck and Larson sure are real stars, When at basketball they play. Cecil, George and Jay and Dennis All play football the right way. W’c are proud of all our athletes. As we well have cause to l e; For the honor of the High School. They have held a shining key. Xow as Seniors we are leaving. Dear old R. 11. S. behind; But I’m sure she’s made an image Of the right on all our minds. So farewell, dear Alma Mater. We must enter life this year. But we do not leave the memories Of the four bright years sj ent here. BESS IK BACON’ “SIGNALS REVERSED” Come on there! Get some pep! Wake up? Fifteen Kalis for Team! Everybody. Our cheer leader stood on a desk in the Hartford High School Assembly Room with the rest of us grouped around him. It was November 26, 1919. Next day was Thanksgiving and the championship of half the state was to be decided on the Hartford gridiron. Every one of those eighty high school students wore a tag which read: Heat Dansville November 27, 1919. So our yell leader was sure there would be a crowd there to cheer our team on to victory. Our team consisted of eleven huskies. Jack at center. Don and Frank tacklers. Ray and Les guards, and I.ill and Mike, ends. Those seven fellows made up our line, and no school team which they had met that season had broken it. Our back field was Laurie at quarter, Tubby and Jim halves and Gene full back. e had never seen Dansville play but it was reported that their team was much heavier than ours. Nevertheless we were so confident of victory that some of us had as high as five pounds of home-made candy bet on 1 lartford. Have you ever been to High School the day before a championship is decided? If not, you have missed half your life. I have been to school lx fore the championship in debating was decided, before basketball. lxith boys and girls, before baseball, before a track meet, and before football, but never did I see a school in such riot as Hartford was that morning. 1’aul our cheer leader was forced to do most of the cheering until he got mad enough to call us down, just before lie called for the final cheer for the team. Did we yell? You ought to ask Paul, lie was so surprised, he had us give them again to cheer him up. Dansville was at alxmt forty miles from Hartford and about seventy-five rooters journeyed over in autos to see that game. They arrived about noon, the game being called at 2:30. Our first sub had been appointed chairman of a committee to see about the Dansville team. He met them, and we thought seemed especially glad to see the captain. Forest Twogood or Toogic,” as he was called by his friends. Twogood was a big, black-haired fellow. whom our coach said was mean and treacherous—our coach had coached them the previous year. While the Dansville team ate dinner, Harry, our sub, sat and visited very earnestly with their captain. They seemed to have a little trouble but we supposed it was over the game and just laughed. They arose, finally, to all appearances the best of friends. We all went to the game that afternoon. It was the most excited crowd I ever saw. We cheered Hartford while the Dansville rooters cheered their team. Then the whistle blew. The teams lined up. Dansville had the kick-off. Our boys got the ball and carried it back to the twenty yard line. I auric gave the signal for a live smach: ‘‘6-19-24-113-22-9-13. “All right, fellows, watch their line. It was Dansville’s captain who spoke. We gained no ground. What ailed our bovs? Vet we hardly believed it was possible to gain much by force as Dansville was much heavier. Again I aurie signalled: Watch their ends. from their captain. We gained five yards. Signal followed signal until the last down with twelve yards to go. Our team failed and Dansville got the ball. Forward they marched. It seemed our boys put up no fight, and at the end of the first five minutes of play Dansville went over for a touchdown. The two teams seesawed back and forth, back and forth. Kvery time Laurie gave a signal his plans were frustrated by their captain. It seemed he knew where to direct his defense, no matter what strategy Laurie used. Suddenly my chum nudged me: “Say. I’ve had an idea. I’ll bet that big stiff of a captain of theirs knows those signals. I’ve heard of such things I thought alxnit that while Dansville went over for another touchdown and kicked goal. Score 13-0 in their favor. We were so downhearted we forgot to cheer until Paul tried to wake us up. We did yell but it was weak compared to the Dansville cheers. The half ended with no change in the score. My chum and 1 immediately hiked for the gym. W e cornered the coach and told him our idea. The coach thought a minute and then announced it to the team. Everyone looked at the others to see who was guilty and then they got mad. “Let me tell you what.” cried our captain, “if they win this game by any sneaking deal like- that, they ought to be killed. I propose you give those signals backwards. Laurie, and muddle up these most honorable opponents of ours. Let's try it. up: “Three cheers for Ray!” “You had a bright idea, boys!” “Let’s go out on the held and try it!” And away they “Let’s try it! “Get a move on. Laurie! “Step went. They lined up. and Laurie gave the signals backwards. He sometimes had to figure, but he did it and everything moved off fine. Our subs went over and laid down bv the Dansville fellows. Our coach watched them until lie saw Harry single out their captain. They walked aside and seemed in earnest conversation. The coach walked up to them and slapping 1 larry on the back. said. “Come on, old fellow. I want to see you subs a minute.” Just a minute. exclaimed Harry. Oh. come on! So Harry went. Just then the whistle blew and the teams lined up. Our fellows had the kick-off and stopped Dansville on the thirty yard line. We held them and got the ball. Laurie gave his signal backwards. The Dansville captain looked at him blankly a moment, then cried. Everybody on the job! That captain was a halfback and when Jim got that ball Toogie started right toward him. Jim sidestepped and had a clear field. He kicked goal and the score was 13 to 7. We nearly went frantic; our boys were waking up. If they could just keep on. Before the quarter was up our boys had made another touchdown and the score was 13 to 13. Then Laurie made a mistake in his signals and Dansville gained twenty yards. Laurie gave the signal for a punt and Gene surely punted. Dansville was stopped thirty yards from their goal. Score 13 to 13 and three minutes to play. Laurie's signal called for an end run and over the line went Mike. After he had kicked goal, there were only thirty seconds left to play and the game was won by Hartford 20-13. We grabbed our fellows as they started for the gym and put them on our shoulders. We were so tickled we even, gathered up those four subs. When we grabbed Harry the coach grabbed us. “Never mind, boys, lie's perfectly capable of walking.” We were taken back, somewhat, but didn't let it worry us any. At the gym the coach gathered those eleven huskies together and told them about Harry. He had discovered that Harry had mailed Dansville a copy of our signals and plays the day before. How did you find it out?” Who told you?” “The big piker!” Let’s expel him! Gee! that makes me mad!” were all heard from the team. I’liat night, we had a big lxmfire celebration at the schoolhousc and everyone was there but Harry. He quit school, gave his sweater to the coach and left town. We never heard of him again.

JOHN CASTKEL. SOPHOMORE APATHY A Sophomore! The caterpillar stage of your High School career. You envied the Juniors and Seniors in exactly the same way the caterpillar envies the butterfly, hut you knew you couldn’t he one of them until you had passed thru the feeding stage. In later years you can tell at a glance the overfed Sophomore. Have you ever noticed the strong resemblance between the Sophomore and the Indian? if not, look twice at the next bunch you meet. 'Fry to read their thoughts by the expression of their faces. It is impossible lncausc Sophomores’ faces only reveal stoicism, the predominant characteristic of the Indian. They certainly think and some very valuable information is lost to the world by their indifference. A teacher once told me she could always tell the Sophomores by their expression, “Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust, If Oesar doesn't kill us, Our geometry must,” but that was before I was a Sophomore myself. 1 know now that she couldn’t, and the only solution I have to offer is that she must have been a perfect student of psychology. Symptoms of this malady are detected the first day of the Sophomore year and gradually grow worse as the days pass by. Students, be lenient in remarks of your teachers when they appear crankier than usual for they are working very hard to bring the Sophs safely thru this crisis. If all this be true, why are the faculty cheerful most of the time? Well, you see they have brought a large numl er safely out this trance besides having a vivid remembrance of it themselves. If a class seems more indifferent than previous ones this is the very class for whom they predict a brilliant future. Students recover from this malady almost as rapidly as they succumb to it. for on the very day the reports are given out for the last time you find light-hearted Juniors in place of the taciturn Sophs, who will never realize what a burden they have been to their fellow students and teachers, unless they themselves become teachers, and in that case a chance is given them to prove that they are masters of their tempers. Most Sophomores express their opinion of Juniors and Seniors as “conceited”: now, dear Sophs, is my chance to clear those above you of this charge, it is simply compassion we feel for you and your dormant state of mind cannot distinguish between the two. So now cheer up. you’ll all survive it and the majority will never know what they’ve been through. Stop worrying all future Sophomores, this malady has somewhat the same effect of two much ether except in this case your sleep only lasts nine months and you are always sure of a pleasant awakening if you but heed our warning—“Don't overtax your brain during the critical period.” KM A ARNOLD.

We elected Miss Miller class advisor, Merton Farrow president, Gertrude Lorgc secretary, and Leone Stageman treasurer. We had few parties but at each one we had a good time. Merton, Vernon and Miles represented us in baseball and track, while Trade and Dorothy played basketball. This year there are only about twenty-five enrolled in the Sophomore Class. Some of our Freshmen Class dropped out while a few new members are added. We elected Miss Pegler class advisor. Aulda Kerley president, l.ilse Robinson vice president, and Gertrude Peck secretary and treasurer. Two of our lx ys. Merton and Vernon, were on the football team; Gertrude and Irene made the basketball team, and Merton and Bilse played on the boys’ basketball team. It is hoped that by next year we will be able to take a very active part in all High School contests. So far. the Sophomore Class has shown they have plenty of “pep and we hope to l e one of the best classes to go from this High School. A CUM KERLKY. SOPHOMORE CLASS POEM Here comes the class of twenty-two You'll hear from us before we're thru A large and splendid class are we. As anyone can plainly see. As Freshmen we were green as grass Tho now we re such a brilliant class: At first our honors were very few. For everything to us seemed new. Later in the declamatory contest Kenneth won the second best; Other things wc did and said Plainly show we were not dead. As Sophomores wc take our place, Determined to keep our Freshmen pace. In us our athletes have good backers. For in our ranks you’ll find no slackers. For school spirit we have a rep. And into the yells we put the pep, So here's to the class of twenty two; 1 think perhaps that this will do. By GERTKL’DE PECK. JUNIOR HIGH DEPT. MISS BEULAH WYANT Principal of Junior High School.

Nine of these children are now members of the Ninth Grade. Miss Joy started those 30 children on their school career. In the Sixth Grade our mischief and knowledge both shocked and amused Miss Meyer. The next year we rose a plane and story higher. Yc graduated with honors from the Eighth Grade under the careful leadership of Miss Wyant. We are still novices in High School but we are being recognized. Harold Sherwood was honored by being elected president of the class. Miss Wyant was chosen sponsor. Our only sad happening in High School experience was the death of our classmate. Georgia Bruner in the early fall. The Freshmen like High and High School is beginning to like them.

FOOTBALL ( ne night after school, the second week of September, it was announced that there would he a football meeting for those interested in the game. The crowd assembled numbered in the twenties including Superintendent Grant and Coach Kllis. Speeches from Mr. Grant and Mr. Kllis assured the boys of a good team if they would practice consistently. The first two weeks of practice were misery. A never-to-be-forgotten misery. The boys will well remember the good old hearty laughs they had on each other when drilling for tackling, jumping over each other and rolling on the ball. It was great fun indeed for the onlookers but certainly no joke for the team who appeared after the first two or three practices banged and battered. Their first game was scheduled Sept. 26. with Coleridge, to be played on the home gridiron. Oh. how thev trained! F.verv night and every night, with aching muscles found them at the gridiron. The days almost dragged by. Finally the 25th day had passed and tile morning of the 26th arrived. This was to be the opening game of the season. It was to be called about 3:30 that afternoon. Three o’clock found the boys on the field ready for the whistle to blow. At 3:30 the game was started. The boys never will forget the feeling when they saw the pigskin sailing through the air after the first kick-off. Randolph made their first touchdown in the first half. Things began to brighten and altho the home boys were clumsy, they showed them they .were game. The final score was 12-0 in favor of the Red and White. It was Randolph’s first in football. October 3rd found the team journeying to Laurel. K very one was in high spirits, feeling that the game was practically won. Hut when the whistle blew Laurel changed this opinion. They carried the ball over for a touchdown in the first half The air castle had fallen. The outcome of the.game was one of disappointment, the score being 13-0. Randolph in possession of the small end. The boys came home making a new resolution. “N’ever win a game before it is played.” One week later found the team home, ready to take what Pierce had brought over. Altho the regular fullback. Sherwood. was out. the lineup was still strong. Pierce put up a good, clean fight but could not hold the R. II. S. from scoring. 'Flic game ended 18-0 in Randolph’s favor. October 24th took Coach Ellis and his now experienced squad to Coleridge, where they played the second game with them. The day was cold and drizzling, making one feel more like being at home reading a tcn-cent novel than playing football. Despite this feeling they went into the game to get Coleridge's “goat.” At the end of the first half everything was coming Randolph’s way. I hit try as hard as they could, the boys could not raise the final score, which was 13-0 in Randolph's favor. The next week was supposedly to Ik the hardest game of the season. Hartington was to meet us on the home grid- iron. To the football fans it looked as if Randolph was to meet their “Waterloo’ on the 31st of October. After a short “warm up the whistle blew for the start of the game. Randolph received, and within two minutes had the pigskin under the goal for a touchdown. Things began to brighten. Randolph’s “pep” had begun. In a short while they lud another touchdown added to their list. Hartington was weakening. Randolph was growing stronger. They were playing the fastest team of . Northeast Nebraska, the team that defeated Randolph 58-0 two years before was now being held to earth bv the Red and White. Was this to Ik another victory to add to Randolph’s list? Just ask the boys. The score card credited Randolph with 20 points to 1 lartington’s goose egg. Alter .two weeks of practice the team and an ardent group of rooters took the noon train to Wayne, expecting to show them «w hat Randolph was made of. Coach Kllis warned Randolph against the Wayne team, which was a strong one: afterwards it was learned to lx the fastest team played the whole season. In the first half Wayne scored a touchdown and kicked a free goal making the score 7-0 in their favor. The second half Randolph scored a touchdown and kicked a free goal making the score a tic. At one time Wayne was in possession of the ball and had about a yard to go for goal and four downs in which to make it. So the team called together all the strength they had and held Wayne the four downs and took the ball about three yards from the goal line. The timekeeper's whistle blew leaving the score a tie 7-7. In order to give Laurel another game it was necessary to schedule a game for Monday. November the 17th. After the surprise they had given the team in the early part of the season Randolph was anxious to show them where they belonged. In order to have a clean record they felt that they must defeat them. Laurel did not show up on the field until half past five o’clock and then wanted to postpone the game. Hut it was figured there would never be a better chance to lxat them thtyi right then, so it was decided to play ten minute quarters the first half and five minute quarters the last half. Night came on which prevented any forward passing. It became so dark that the spectators had to come out on the field to see the plays. Finally as the six o’clock, bell was ringing the whistle blew leaving Randolph victorious 9-0. Four days later the Randolph eleven drove to Pierce to play the last game of the season. As Pierce had been beaten before it was thot that Randolph had more than a fair chance of winning this time. Rut the complexion of the Pierce team had changed. They had added about five new players to their list making practically a new backfield. Pierce put up a hard fight and so did Randolph, but neither team could pull away from the standing score of 6-6. Rig things were planned for the Thanksgiving game which was to lx played with Wayne at Randolph, but a snow storm interrupted the plans and the tie still stands. Everyone is feeling the best over the outcome of the football season and Randolph is recognized as one of the best teams in this part of Nebraska. CECIL BERNARD.

The opera house was put in shape, goals were repaired and put up. basketball pumped up. and of course the paraphernalia of each player was dragged from it place where it had been stowed away at the end of last season. The first few nights of practice looked to Coach Ellis as though lie was to have three or four good teams instead of one. The contestants for the first team numbered from twenty to twenty-five. Each man was nearly as good as the other. If the numlier of players out to practice had anything to do with the reputation of the team, Randolph was sure to head the list of having the 1km basket-tossers. The first game was scheduled to be played at Pierce on the 19th of December. Pierce had never been beaten by Randolph on their home floor in the history of basketball. In fact they had lost very few games to anyone because of the very slippery floor upon which they played. So it was up to Randolph to break the record. Randolph vs. Pierce The bovs took the Hobsled Limited to Pierce the evening of December the 19th. They started about three or three-thirty in the afternoon and they arrived at Pierce about seven. It looked as though the R. II. S. sUmkI a jxxir chance with their opponents, as they were tired out from their four-hour ride in the bobsled. Part of the time they would have to get out and walk as the roads were beginning to dry up in places. After eating a small supper they were called to suit up as they were to play at 7:30. The game was soon after the trip and supper we know, but all the 1 letter for Pierce. Despite this the boys went into the game with the thought that they would get revenge on them bv beating them. The gam vas an, hard and fast all the way through. Captain Larson put the R. II. S. in the lead by a free throw. The boys kept tl I ' die game, although the opponents were only one point behind. The first half ended 7 to 5 in favor of t’ i s. The second half was a repetition of the first. The Red and White added 11 points to their 7 and the illtie ? c 9 to their 5. the final score being IS to 14 in favor of the Red and White. This was the first time Randolph lugii School had ever beaten Pierce High School at basketball on the Pierce floor. Randolph vs. Wausa December the twenty-siyth took the boys to W ausa. The writer feels that lie must say something of the supper that was served to the team. It was the day after Xmas and a real Xmas dinner was served to the boys at 5:30. Then they took a rest for two hours which put them in good shape for the game. The subs were started and then later in the game the regulars trotted out and took their place. Randolph did not win so easily as she thought she would, although she won with the score of 29 to IS. THE SOUTHERN TRIP Randolph vs. Plattsmouth During the Xmas vacation the Randolph cagers decided to do something out of the ordinary, by taking a week's trip through the southern part of Nebraska, playing four games. So on the morning of December the 30th they started for Plattsmouth. It proved to be a long and tedious ride but as the boys were always game they took it without grumbling. During the game the R. II. S. boys seemed to be shooting twice to the Plattsmouth lx ys’ once, but they couldn’t seem to locate the basket. Although Plattsmouth managed to keep ahead Randolph came close behind them until Chuck and Tubby (myself) got the goals mixed up and before they got straightened around P. II. S. had scored three baskets. They kept the lead until the whistle blew leaving Randolph with the small end of a 25 to 13 score. Randolph vs. Auburn The next day they played the fast team of Auburn. This being the home town of Prof. Grant, the 1h� vs were anxious to show them what kind of a place Mr. Grant was in. Although the Red .and W hite were defeated by a big score the crowd found out that they were not “greenhorns at the game. Mutz their right guard shot several baskets from the middle of the door. The game was fast and clean and Randolph showed that they were good losers. Auburn won bv a score of 36 to 14. Randolph vs. Dunbar January 1st the boys played their third game on the trip, with Dunbar. They had but a cracker box to play in and the boys were lucky to score 22 points to Dunbar’s 38. This was the third defeat and it looked as though Randolph was going home without a victory. Randolph vs. W eeping W atcr January 2nd found the defeated team of Randolph at Weeping Water willing to take anothe c. id to. But the tables had turned and the 1x ys seemed to liven up a bit. Randolph kept in the lead tlm he gai ie and the final score was 19 to 13 in favor of the once defeated but now victorious team, Randolph. This ended the Southern trip and there were seven fellows that were very glad of it. Randolph vs. Pierce Friday. January the 9th, the bovs met Fierce the second time, only now on the home floor. The Red and White second team started the game and when Fierce managed to pull ahead of the Midgets a lead of five |K� ints, Coach lCllis sent in the regulars. They soon overcame the five point lead and when the game was over the score favored Randolph 20 to 16. Randolph vs. Wausa Randolph played their second game with Wausa Wednesday, January 21st. The game started with a rush and after a few seconds Sherwood located the basket for the first count. Wausa soon borrowed the horseshoe and shot three baskets Indore the R. M S hoys realized what they were doing. The score stood 6 to 2 in favor of the Swedes. I � nt Randolph soon got the horseshoe hack and the first half ended 17-8 for Randolph. The second half was an exact repetition of the first as Randolph secured 17 points to Wausa’s 8. The final score was 34 to 16, Wausa at the small end. Randolph vs. Ilartington January the 23rd found Ilartington ready to take home the bacon from the Home Boys. Now you ought to know that Chuck wouldn't let them take home the “bacon. ' and he didn’t They brought along the girls' team so as to he sure of taking enough to make up for the football game which we all remember. But try as hard as they could the hoys would shoot baskets. The final score being 29 to 14 for Randolph. Randolph vs. Norfolk The Red and White lost to the speedy team from Norfolk Friday. January 30th. It was a good fast game and the R. H. S. boys didn’t feel so bad over the defeat. Randolph couldn't get started the first half and Norfolk got a big lead, the half ending 26-8 for Norfolk. The last half told a different story. Randolph scoring 13 points to Norfolk’s 10. The game ended with Norfolk in the lead the score being 36 to 21. This is the first year that Randolph has been able to sign an athletic contest with Norfolk and every one is hoping it is not the last as they have a good team and a clean hunch of boys. r A Randolph vs. Wayne Tuesday, February the 3rd, the Wayne High School Team invaded Randolph with a badly crippled basketball team. The Midgets started the first half and outplayed the invaders, heating them to the tune of 8 to 4. The Regulars started the second halt as they needed the practice and it was a complete runaway, Randolph leading with a score of 58 to 4. The final count was 66 to 8 in favor of Rah Rah Rah Randolph. Sherwood located the basket sixteen times the last half. Randolph vs. Wayne The next Friday on the 13th of February found the Randolph Cagers at Wayne. Lobdell was now off the team on account of sickness. The first half ended 9 to 10 in their favor. The regular team of Wayne proved to he faster than the team the boys had played the week before. Randolph started the second half with a rush and there wasn't much to it from then on. The final score was 35 to 19 in favor of Randolph. Wavnc rooters said it was the best game they had seen played on the High Gym floor. The same evening the Randolph Nigh School had two other games. The girls beat the Osmond girl and the Midgets got beat 16 to 15 by the Osmond High School. N. E. NEBRASKA TOURNAMENT Randolph in Class A. Randolph vs. Wakefield. The first game for the Randolph Tossers was with Wakefield, February 20. The boys seemed to be dead on their feet this game. There didn’t seem to be any hole in the basket; if there was it was too small for the ball to go through. With lots of luck Randolph nosed out ahead with the score of 28 to 20. Randolph vs. Wisncr The second game was with the fast team from Wisncr which everybody picked to win the finals. Tint they shouldn t always judge a team by the way they play one game. Wisncr couldn’t break through the defense at any time. 1 he game ended, a sur- prise to the crowd with the Randolph Huskies in the lead, the score being 21-9. Randolph vs. Stanton The last game of the tournament was played with Stanton on the 21st of February, the same day the Home Boys beat isner. Randolph was leading 9-8 the first half. But in the second Stanton made two baskets and the R. II. S. bovs couldnt come any closer than one point behind them. But it was anybody’s game up to when the whistle blew leaving Stanton in the lead 27 to 22. % People who saw these games say that the games with Stanton and Wisner were the best games they had ever seen. An all star team was chosen and out of the first six men picked. Randolph was the owner of three of them. Harold Sherwood was picked first as captain and center. Cecil Bernard as guard and Donald Larson as captain of the second team. 'o other team placed over one man in the first six picked. Randolph vs. Bloomfield This game proved to lx merely a workout for the boys. Although Bloomfield won B class at the Wayne Tournament they did not have a chance with Randolph. The final score was 67 to 25 in favor of the Randolph Cagcrs. THE LINCOLN TOl’RX AMENT Randolph in Class C. Randolph vs. David City The first game of the Tournament was with the team from David City on March 4th. After a hard fought battle the Home Boys proved superior to the David City Five and the Referee.’’ The final score was 11 to 8. The game was played on the floor of the Armory. This is one of the largest floors in Lincoln ami the lx st one. Randolph vs. Shickley The second game was played on the Auditorium floor, March 5th. At the end of the first half Shickley was ahead by one |K)int. It seemed as if the Home Boys had lost their pep. Between halves things looked pretty blue until the telegrams from the High School came. The second half was different than the first and when the whistle blew for the end of the game, Ran- dolph was holding the big end of a score 11 to 9. Randolph vs. Plattsmouth Again Randolph was to meet the fast of Plattsmouth. This game was played the same day as the one with Shickley and was held at the Armory. Plattsmouth proved to lx too fast for the Randolph Boys and the game ended with Plattsmouth in the lead with a score of 25-12. This ended basketball for another year and although the boys did not win any trophies they can say that they have a record of which to lx proud. Thev have defeated all the towns in their ncighhorhoml and have also showed that they were good sports when tk-ieatcd. CF.CIL BERNARD. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Our Basketball girls have made a very good record this year. Of the seven games they have played they have won five. The High School hopes—indeed it has every reason to believe—that our girls will play at field meet in the Spring. Their record is: Jan. 23—Hartington 20 Randolph 10 Feb. 12—Osmond 15 Randolph 25 Feb. 13—Osmond 10 Randolph 12 Feh. 2A—Bloomfield 0 Randolph 40 M;ir. 5—Belden 6 Randolph 23 Mar. 27—Osmond 0 Randolph 18 Apr. 4—Hartington 10 Randolph 8 Total 55 1 136 BASEBALL Randolph lias proved herself to be one of the strongest teams this season, in baseball as well as football and basketball. She has won all three games played, making her eligible to entry at the field meet. The R. 11. S. nine played Bloomfield H. S. a practice game on the home diamond, winning from them to the tune of 14 to 4. The Blue and White boys were good losers and promised our boys a good run for their money in the near future. The next game was an elimination game with I.aurel played on the home field Friday, April 30th. Laurel had won from Iiartington the week before, but they could not place the pill” out of reach of the R. II. S. boys. At the end of the game Laurel picked up their bats and headed for home carrying with them but 3 scores of the 14 made. Wednesday. May the 5th, found the R. H. S. boys invading Bloomfield territory. This was dangerous business, as B. II. S. had warned them to look out when they should meet again. But why should they worry, if Shylock’s” wicked right couldn't keep them cool—well, that’s what they had Dennis, Boughn. and Wilson in the field for. Bloomfield got their only score in the first inning when one of the boys errored. Although it was a hard fight, Randolph nosed ahead with 3 to spare. The final score was 4 to 1. This game was the semi-finals and left Randolph to play the finals with the fast nine from South Sioux, to be played at the Field Meet Friday, May 21st. TRACK Who would have thought that the Randolph Track Team would show up so well at the Meet three weeks before that date? No one knows. But we do know that now the hoys have brought the cup hack home to stay, and they lia e some records to show for it. Although the bovs lost their Base-ball game to South Sioux City they kept up their good spirits and went into the light more determined to win. Probably it was a good thing that they did lose, for they took greater interest and showed the people that Randolph was there to do something, winning six firsts, three seconds, two thirds and four fourths. The field events started with South Sioux City and Hartington having 15 points each and Oakland ami Randolph $ points each. Preliminaries in the PM) yard were run first and Dennis and Sherwood were both placed for the finals. Pole vault was finished next, this being the only event in which Randolph bad no entry. The half mile came next which Black won after a very pretty race. Record—2 min. 21 see. day Muhm took fourth. The finals in Ihe 100 were run and Dennis won first place and Sherwood took a close second, thereby adding ft points and passing Hartinglon who up to this time had been leading in points. Record—10.8 sec. From there on there was nothing to it. Randolph kept pulling away from those behind. After the 100, the 120 low huralc-s were run. Randolph entered two men, Merton and Chuck. The race was run three times before the judges seemed satisfied with the results. Whitney and Farrow added 5 points by running second and third. The next, in Held events was the Shot Put. Randolph also had two men entered in this. Bernard and Sherwood. R. II. S. held fiivt place from the first throw up to the last throw when a Hartington man managed to “boost the iron hall four inches ahead of that of Randolph. Bernard took second place and Sherwood third. dim Black made another pretty run in the 220 yard dash, winning easy by first place. Record -25 se Sherwood and Black came in together hut some say that Sherwood cut in front of a Newcastle runner and lie was ruled out. thereby l � dng his possibility of winning the silver medal. t The half mile relay race was last and it was some race. Sherwood put the R. II. S. in the lead from the first and Dennis added to it. Whitney ran the third 220 and touched Black off with a 30 foot lead. Black put his head down and ran like wild, crossing the final tape with at least do yards lead over the closest runner. The Record—1 min. 50.2 sec. Randolph won first in every race except the hurdles in which they took second and third. We secured the total of 55 points. Hartington was second with 51 points and Newcastle and South Sioux City ere tied with 21 and from there they ran on down to the total of 2 points. The cup is now jiermaneni pro|� erty for the R. II. S.. and from the looks of things they will have several others in the near future. It might he mentioned that Randolph now possesses every cup over issued by the association. Wo arc also proud to stale, that Jim Black brings home enough points which entitle him to a gold medal. Winning three firsts. Looking hack over tlu 1520 school year wo see R. II. S. turning out one of the best Athletic clubs in this part of Nebraska. I Iiev haw shown themselves as good as any in Football, equal to the best in Basketball, better than most in Baseball, and a Champion in Track. So: Here's to the bovs of the R. II. S. And the girls in Basketball too I guess. May their records he known to all the towns. From here to there and all around. Here’s to Coach Kllis. a savior to us. And to Grant, our Prof., who always was just, They won all our games, not one do wc own. May we reap good will, from the seed they have sown. Here's in general l � the R. H. S. And the Gym to he built for the use of the rest, Mav they both succeed in this beautiful town, May they always he up and never go down. —Cecil Bernard.

The first copy of “Sprouter came from the press in 1916. Since that date we have graduated one hundred and one students—or half as many as had graduated since the establishment of our school in 1893, a period of twenty-three years. A notable feature about these classes is the large number of boys. Out of one hundred and one graduates thirty-one were hoys. The number in the later classes has come to be about half and half. Going back ten years we find the school has upheld its honor in debate, athletics, scholarship, and declamation. Of the last three debating teams it has had one district championship, one in the finals; the third time the team was defeated by the district champions. Out of six teams in ten years three have held the district championship, Each time a creditable showing was made at Lincoln. Of the three declamatory contests in which the school has been represented twice it entered the finals and once was the district champion. In athletics the high school has made an enviable reputation. The Randolph basketball team has come to spell victory, 'flic teams have not only made good in the home district but have taken their place in a high class at the State Iournament. Since the organization of the North Nebraska Athletic Association Randolph has held the cup half of the time. The courses of the school have also been extended. In 1919 the Smith-Hughes vocational training agriculture was added; in 1920 the same advance in the domestic science department will l c made. Beside this the course has been enlarged until a student may choose from the following courses: College Entrance, Normal Training and Commercial. Speaking for the Alumni it is safe to say we are all proud to say Randolph High School is our Alma Mater. As the years go by and our school is established more firmly, Time adds tradition which enhances the memories of our Alma Mater. I he only recognized function of the Alumni is the banquet in the spring. This is our opportunity to show life and spirit and he read to help and encourage ‘‘our school to the highest possible endeavor. LENA M. STEWART. Plllll don't r jf, c h - fence: ir you get £UJf E0.

In the end of the room is the rostrum, made from the woods of the pine tree. Whilst overhead arc two Hags, flags of our country, Old Glory.’’ And also upon this rostrum is a fine oaken desk for the teacher. A desk at which she may sit and watch the actions of students. Hack of the desk is the clock emblazoned with 1911. A grandfather s clock it is that keeps time for nearly a decade. A clock that’s seen classes come, filled with determination ; A clock that’s seen classes go. sobered in mind and in judgment. Such is the front of the room, the front of the high school assembly.

W'e always take a keen interest in both the financial and the artistic success of every Annual for which we are privileged to prepare the engravings. It was this interest that prompted ns in the preparation and publication of the StnITord handlxx k, “Kiigravings for College and School Publications” which we furnish, free of charge, to the Annuals for which we work. The success of this hook and the fact that we were the originators of this method of co-operation, i to us a source of considerable pride. 'Hie publishers of this Annual will tell you that in the planning, financing and preparation of their hook, this Stafford handbook was a veritable gold mine of helpful ideas and suggestions. A copy of this book, in addition to all the direct and individual co-operation you may need, and the benefit of our nearly thirty years specialization in college and school engraving, is available to all schools that appreciate this idea of service. .
