MISSOURI 64050 N v 'UQ AS the Cbe 'Faculty B September 5, the time honoredlbell-which is such a terror to the tardy student, and causes Mr. Hines so much consternation when he can't dis- tinguish whether it is sounded for fire drill or class dismissal-tolled the fatal hour when all high school students must awaken from the blissful dreams of a long peaceful vacation, and reenter that well worn path which leads to the city of big things. hands of the clock on the south wall pointed to eight-thirty, we, the faculty, headed by Mr. Williams, the principle, marched meekly upon the rostrom and took our seats, relentlessly exposed to the merciless stares of 240 students who were craning their necks to get a good look at the new rulers Kas Virgil Woods de- fined the word Facultyl. ,A . Perhaps the strongest impression that they received that morning was concern- ing our extreme youth, since none of us are over thirty-live. They soon found, however, that we were not weak, at least in vocal powers. CFor proof register for one of Miss Kramer's classes, or Mother?'

' i Several of our number have taken up activities outside of their regular class- room work. Miss Thompson coached the girls' Basket Ball -teams with much success. Mr. Hines took charge of the boys' athletics along the lines of football, basket ball and base ball. Mr. Williams, in addition to his classes in,Physics, and his duties as prin- cipal, drilled the debating teams, and is at present superintending the track work. Miss Sievers, The Junior's Queen, has spent the year proving to the upper classmen the truth of the quotation, In poetry lies the soul of the whole past time. We have greatly regretted the loss of Miss Beam, who was compelled to return home because of ill health., Miss Edson has taken time from her busy life to organize a much needed Glee Club from the students of her music class. With extraordinary vim and enthusiasm, Miss Hunter has been giving instruction in that history Which stands upon the pedestal of Time and gazes into the archives of the Past. i Fraulein Kramer has worked patiently with her pupils instructing them in the literature of two languages. Miss Cunningham, a very proficient teacher in Geometry, is still puzzling her brain over theqliving' problems which come to her class each day. . The success which Miss Brown has attained in the- Domestic Science department was shown in the dinners which her girls served to the members of the Faculty and the School Board.

We have enjoyed your parties, and your ball games, everything, in fact, except those cessions after 3: 30 which you so heartlessly thought were a pleasure to us. Since Nature, by putting eyes in the front of our heads, intended us to look for- ward instead of backward, we will say that those of us who shall return next year are looking forward with pleasant anticipation to a renewal of the associations which we have enjoyed with you during this school year.

This school must be, and is represented in many different states and perhaps other countries, by the boys and girls who attended it and those who have graduated in those 16 years that have passed. A I can truly say I have enjoyed those sixteen long years and most of all I have enjoyed and will love and appreciate the kindness and friendship of the past and present pupils of the RedgOak High School. I have served under seven superinten- dents and have many things to thank them and the principals for. I have always tried to be pleasant, kindand obliging to all the pupils of the school. Both boys and girls can truly say I have been well treated by all of them, for which I am more than thankful. 9 I wish to thank especially the foot ball boys for the part and privileges they have always given me in their games. Most of all, the many turkeys and presents they have given me for Christmas and Thanksgiving. I have received twenty turkeys for Thanksgiving during the twenty years I have served as janitor for the Red Oak schools, and I hope I will live to see many more boys and girls go from this dear old school out into the world to represent the Red Oak High School-especially to see many of the 1914-1915 classes graduate and go out and make this school proud of its graduates as we are of many of those gone from here.

CAMPBELL. ,J au . n lx .A I Class l5is1ory::Continued A ure, consequently, the only recreation we had was a picnic at the north mill with a chap' eron for every member of the class, however 'none were needed. This is the summary of our Hrst year. . We entered upon our second year with minds free from all thoughts of study. VVe held parties at Anna Cochrane's, Adelaide Thompsonhs and at the High School. This is the year we won our notoriety for keeping early hours UD. The seniors had much to say about us: they even went so far as to watch us until we were safely home from our parties. The championship in inter-class basket ball was won by our boys. The girls' team won second in a similar event. The officers for this year were Kirk Chapman, President? Ruth Thomas, Vice President, VVilliam Donahue, Secretary and Treasurer, and -captain of the boys Basket Ball Team. Adelaide Thompson was Acorn representative and Kathryn Pil- kington captain of the girls basket ball team. Oh! that eventful junior yearg wiener roasts, .sneak parties, the new way of obtaining flowers for the Junior-Senior reception, purchase of pins and rings. u Our debts were not paid with 5300.00. We owe much to the good luck of our pilot. Thomas was always close at hand to lend assistance in rough waters, Mick nearly with an empty pocketbook. CWhy empty?J Copper Top Cochrane.

K ' How deep was the snow the night we went to Vera Bass's? Ask Miss Kramer and Miss Hunter. We doubt if they are thawed out yet. The class of '14 is noted for its love of flowers, also for methods of' obtaining them. Overheard at Junior-Senior reception, 1913. Faculty to a '14, Where did you get so many beautiful flowers? Junior looks wise but maintains discreet silence. We gave our recep- tion to the Seniors May 23, 1913, and think it was enjoyed by everyone. At the. close of the Year 1913, we edited an Acorn Annual, this annual has gone into history as the best yet. The editorial staff consisted of Allison Collard, editor and chief, Margaret Telfer and Fred Shields, assistant editorsg Leland Replogle, business manager, Glen Hawkins and Anna Cochrane, artists. Several associate editors. To wind up the an- nual, the staff had a picnic. , Now we must stop. Just to think this is our last year, we must count our credits. Alas, several four leaf clovers missing, they must wail till 1915. Some that lost their clover found good luck in another way. There are five girls gone. Some pessimistic senior suggested we spend some precious moments in study this year. We now realize the worth of that senior. We are now at the stage in life where we love and appreciate our teachers. In order to show this appreciation, we gave a reception at the home of Tom Murphy. We selected the steps of the Presbyterian church to hold several of our illegal class meetings. A stranger passing gives us this description: A man small but mighty standing on the top step is addressed as Browney, sometimes Art, and sometimes as President. The President is heard to say, Pay your dues to Margaret, as he points to a. dignified person- age sitting on the top step with pencil and note book in hand. That oflicious young per- son strutting around trying to keep order is AX, the sergeant at arms. We had our annual wiener roast at Otis's in October. cThis event will be remembered by the terrible runaway of Ax's white horse, Dynamite. Such a frisky mascot was never owned by a class before. Ella killed! Hawk wounded! We felt that night that some calamity would befall us, so we left the teachers safe at home. The class was entertained at the home of Allison Collard on Dec. C?J where Mike won world-wide fame as a jigger. Our next party was held at Cochrane's where we initiated Dad and Steph. into the 01-der of Winkem. The end of our history draws near. A at hgiigifaculty and school seem sad, the clouds begin to gather, for the end of 1914 is close Co the Seniors: J, O. H. S. will in a few days bid goodbye to the Class of 1914. For four ' long years the members of this class have been looking forward to the day is when they shall receive their diplomas. It is sometimes said that the average student thinks that when he has received his diploma, he believes his life's work is over and is content to sit back and smile at the hard working underclassmen. A diploma is worth all that it costs, if the student who receives it has justly earned it, and has formed the habit of doing his best in all that he undertakes. If however, as often happens, the object has been merely to get the diploma, and the student fails to get that more valuable training which should go with it he finds too late, that the diploma fails to get him a position, or keep it for him after he gets it. Then it is that he thinks he has been deceived in the real worth of his diploma and concludes that his diploma is nothing more than a bit of parchment, decorated with highly flowered language. In fact this is all that his diploma is. On the other hand, the student who receives the diploma, after four years of earnest and eflicient work, who leaves the school knowing that he has made the ex- perience which it offers him his own, who feels that he is prepared to go into the world and accomplish something, who goes from the school with a desire to work hard, for him a diploma is an entirely different thing. For him the diploma is a certificate that he has taken advantage of the opportunity to profit by the rich ex- perience of the wisest men of past centuries. For him the diploma is a valuable thing and well worth all that it costs. J. R. INMAN. lass History Q HIS most extraordinary class of 1914 has kindly consented after much consider- ii. ation to give brief history of their life and accomplishments to the small mi- : nority of people who have not been so fortunate as to meet any of their re- markable members. Tlfe will never forget that first day of September, 1910. It was dark and QS gloomy without, but the moment our class entered those renouned halls of R. O. H. S. the clouds cleared away and the World became bright and sunshiny. Evidences of our unusual intelligence were shown immediately. Some thought that we were guided by an invisible hand, for We Went, not with the usual confusion, fear, and trembling, but took our places in a calm and dignified manner, which would have been satisfactory to our own dear Mr. VVilliams. Through the day We Went to the various class- rooms without a mistake. 1 In the evening Mr. Bell notiiied the school board of our unusual behavior and they promptly decided to visit us the next day before we should prove to be only an idle dream. After gazing upon our brilliant faces they presented us With a token of good luck, a four lc-af clover which we were to cherish uptil June 1914. During our first year our ofiicers were Laurence Boyer, Presidentg Margaret Telfer, Secretary and Treasurer. At our first class meeting We decided to put forth every effort to complete our four years study in one year, leaving the remaining three years for pleas- ty. 0wkWwfY?rv, A ,, Lfv W- gf ww 'is , 1 -ia' fs, X4 fa R 'AX X X A X Z N f f M' 1 v x 4 V J! f ? 1 X 5 HQ-ZW mf ,0 , ,C ' 9,7 of ij sig W 45 .ww X f f A gf 1' YZ' :V0 was j X ,, , NN, X f LAWRENCE BOYER Class Vice-President '1 1.

The Class of 1915 entered the Red Oak High School the third day of Sep- tember, Nineteen Hundred and Eleven. The class had previously had its graduation from the eighth grade, May twenty-ninth at the High School Auditorium. Fifty-six members were graduated from the eighth grade. There are seventy-six pupils in the new Freshman class. The class officers were Harvey Spears, presidentg Elsa Foster, vice-presidentg Doris Rapp, secretary, and Laura Ostrom, treasurer. Doris Rapp was also class representative for the Acorn and we think that if ever a Freshman class was roasted, it was ours, for every issue of the Acorn brought some new cartoon or poem illustrating our greenness. It didn't take us long, however, to overcome this disease. Several class parties were held that year and a picnic during the summer at Clara Gibler's home. Mary Palmer honored the class by winning a silver medal in the Declamatory contest. The class as a whole thought that the Freshman year had been successful after all. Our class had somewhat decreased in the number of pupils by the Sophomore year, having only fifty-seven members. We were glad that we hadreached the place where we could feel superior to the Freshmen. ' The class during the second season had more parties even than the dignified and fun-loving Senior class of '13. Marjorie Madden v. as made president to fill the va- cancy caused by the leaving of Russel Rickelton. The vice-president was De Vere Horton, Merrill Olson was treasurer and secretary. The girls' basket ball team made quite a showing that year, winning the class championship over the Freshmen and Juniors, fthe Seniors having no team.J The class celebrated the closing of school by a picnic at the home-of Mrs. Erickson, northeast of the city. And now we come to our Junior year, almost the best year of all for we are not stately like CCP! Crefer to Miss Kramerb the Seniors or like the modest little Fresh- men or retiring like the Sophomores, but just jolly Juniors. We have still fewer mem- bers now in our class. Luther Erickson is our president, Jack Longstreet, vice-presi- dent, and Gladys Hill, secretary and treasurer. We have had several enjoyable class affairs and some of the Junior boys have created a little Tornado by their publication of The Wind during the three years of High School, several members have left our class for various reasons, some going to vlork, so-ne moving to other cities, and even one entering the matrimonial state. W'e have now forty members left. Our Junior year has been highly prosperous, no seed falling on unproductive brains, and we have enjoyed ourselves immensely fin all except exams.J lg' U 1 -Y FRANCES CLAWSON Everyone comes, if Woman will only Wait.

NOI1 this account the courses Were 1 arranged to suit the entrance requirements of the better classical colleges and little attention was paid to the needs of that vast majority of stu- dents who would never see a classical college. To be sure there were certain courses introduced into the curriculum which bore the flavor of commercial life, but which failed utterly to prepare for that life. Thus the Public High School bore a community name but failed to perform adequately its community function. The welfare of the majority was sacrificed to the needs of the few. The Public High School of tomorrow will first of all endeavor to prepare the majority of its students for the life which that majority will have to face upon gradu- ation, and at the same time it will not deal unjustly by that minority Of. its student body which will enter classical or professional schools upon graduation. So the High School will perform its proper function as a public school. In particular, the High School Of tomorrow Will endeavor to so train its students that upon their graduation they will be fitted to enter the marts of trade and earn their own way under honest competition. At the same time the value of the cultural studies to all students alike will not be overlooked for they are to be men as well as craftsmen. , What will this change in emphasis mean? Well, in the first place, it means that Red Oak will have to build a new and adequate school house, constructed with the needs of the future in view. This building will have a gymnasium, an auditorium for school and community work, industrial departments, laboratories, and three well- equipped departments, i. e., Domestic Science, Agriculturel Business. A school of this nature could adequately prepare students for life, immediate and future. Graduates could go into the business vsorld without fear or favor, or they could go on to classical or professional school. Such a school should do the Work of a junior college, keeping our boys and girls in the home atmosphere till they are mature enough to go from home with an intelligent viewpoint, if they be fortunate enough to afford a full college course. Two years of college subects offered at home would attract and hold many more students from the city and the surrounding coun- ties than at present are interested in school Work. The average boy and girl would have a better chance at adequate preparation than at present and the graduate will be better fitted to take an active place in community affairs. The Red Oak High School of tomorrow will be a Junior College, housed in a modern building, manned by well-paid instructors, training and equipping the stu- dents for actual business and citizenship, and attracting a student body from miles around. We can if we will, and we will! Everybody out for the Junior College! g GEORGE E. WOOD. , F ERN ZAELKE Blessed with plain reason and good sense. 3 is , V P' . f, , A .

An organization of this kind has not been formed in the school for a good many yearsg in fact not even in the memory of the Seniors. The different parts have been added to and up to now there are twenty-two members selected without regard for class, age, or personal appearance. The Glee Club has sung at the declamatory contests and the debate so that the students know quite well who are taking part. They have been steadily at it every Monday and Wednesday morning for several months and every participant has en- joyed it. We hope that it will be continued next year for it certainly is a benefit to the members as well as a diversion at High School entertainments. The present Glee Club will make its final bow before the public on commencement evening. A. B. C. '14. Cbe Years Success U13 K HIS has been a good year-from many standpoints. The enrollment has 5 been large, including over fifty tuition pupils. This signifies that the 1 school has the conndence of the parents in our city and those in the country as well. IA Then, we have done good work this year, teachers and pupils. Some have fallen below the standard set by the school, but these are fewer than usual. There has been a smaller percentage of failures than for some time. This has been due to the good spirit that has existed for the most part between the faculty and the student body. Moreover, the small number of failures has not been obtained by a lowering of schoolastic standards. On the contrary, it has been secured, I am sure, together with a raising of standards. Schools are judged to a large extent by their outside activities. We have en- tered many fields and done good work in all. We have not won every contest, but we have always been worthy opponents. In athletics we have played clean and hard. Our victories have been earned, by honest means, and by clean athletics. Our de- feats have been rightly taken, and they have done as much, perhaps, as have our victories, toward making betterteams, and a better spirit. , In Literary contests there is still much to do. Our debating and declamatory contests have been both helpful and creditable. With a literary society, a debating society, and more declamatory contests, next year, results that are better still, may be expected. Another branch of outside activities ought not to be omitted, and this includes every act of every member of the school, when not actually in the classroom. We have a good school. Our numb-ers include the best young people of our city, and we expect them to become leaders. Are they preparing for that? ,Does their conduct outside of school indicate a proper attitude toward life and its responsibilities? I think for the most part both questions may be answered in the affirmative. It has been a year of promise, of hopes and fears, of hard work and jolly fun, of success and some failures. A year in High School is a cross section of life at its very best. G. C. W.

This was September 8, 1912 that the meek and long suffering class of 1916 crossed the well worn threshhold of the great halls of learning Calias, R. O. H. SJ We were then eighty strong. Thus did we organize. For our class ofiicers we elected Ivan Willis, president, Ruth Rolfe, vice-presi- dent Fred Wetterholin, secretary and treasurer, and the vicious Monsieur Shancks for our seargeant at arms. Twice the High School was suitably decked for our social gatherings, which were well attended and enoyed by all. , From this notable class Laura Gonick was sent to Clarinda to the tri-city debate after she had won first here in oratory. ' Nor were We lacking in athletics, especially the girls. For the inter-class Basket Ball games, the team was as follows: Forwards, Goldie Mitchell, Marion Collard, Guards, Gladys Archer and Sylvia Clark: Centers, Dora Johnson and Blanche Beeson. On account of illness our captain, Ruth Bass, could not play in the game with the Sophomores. We were defeated the score being 11 to 12. In spite of the impedements constantly iiung before us by the noble f?J class of '15, We laid the foundation which was to be severely tested in completing our course and the soundness of which has often been questioned Cconsult Sieversb. Our first year came to a close and we took the dignified position of Sophomores. Freshmen Sophomore Say not the days are evil, Who's to blame, And fold the hands and acquiesce, Stand up, speak out Or ne'er know success. Thus we were greeted as We took our places, a little further removed from the setting sun. The original number was decreased to fifty-five. To these a highly valued addition was made- Fat Neal coming direct from Paris to introduce the new fashion fof flunkingi into our metropolis. This year our class oflicers were Courtland Shancks, president, Ruth Bass, vice- presidentg Will Fife, secretary, and Sylvia Clark, treasurer. We adopted Purple and Gold for our class colors. From the enthusiastic bunch that turned out for Basket Ball, the following made the first team: Boys, Ralph Griflithg and Girls, Dora Johnson, Ruth Bass and Goldie Mitchell. In the declamatory contest the '16's were represented by Ruth Bass and Laura Gonick. The latter won nrst place in oratory and as a result was taken to Clarinda- to the tri-city contest where she won first place in oratory.

N s Q 'fd FHM f I we ' lv-L ULLARJ- Cbe Bisiorp of the Class of 1917 ff. - , ITH emotions of honest pride we take up the pen of the historian to in- yj, dulge in the task of writing the history of the Class of Seventeen, which is a task from which Macaulay might shrink, without any dishonor to his reputation as a historian, but the training received by this class, en- i5'5' ables two of its members to cope with the task with confidence. 'Twas in the fall of '13 that a promising group of eighth graders departed with tear-stained cheeks from the Webster to take up the more serious and heavier burdens at the dreaded High School. 1 This class, which was christened the Class of Seventeen, early showed signs of possessing extraordinary precocity, and differed greatly from the ordinary typical freshman class in its freedom from freshness and verdancy. We soon ceased to look upon the principal with mixed awe and admiration, and soon found out that he was a human being. After this discovery we became less timid, and took up other things besides study. A good many tried out for athletics, some turning out to be promising athletes who made positions on first and second teams. Not only did we show talent along athletic lines, but also along literary lines. although our class never but once caused any great stir in the placid waters of liter- ary life, nor was its year marked by any great mental achievement, yet its literary standing was felt from the very first. We illustrate this by asking you to recall in your minds a simple but witty and newsy paper by the surname of The Breeze. Such a paper is rarely published by feshmen, because their minds are usually not fitted for that kind of work, and besides, freshmen are always more or less timid. We also take just pride in mentioning our social doin's. We had two class parties during the year, one on December the fifth, and the other on March thirteenth, both of which were capably superintended by Miss Draves. At the first one, the time was spent in playing games and musical selections, but at the second a burlesque play, The Prince of the Dill Pickle, drawings and readings were the chief feature. CWe highly recommend Miss Draves for getting up entertainment stuff J And so we journey on and on, over the endless sea of learning with full sail, hoping for bright futures and accommodating faculty. Asking your pardon for all offensive remarks, we are M. K. Sc E. S. thusiasm much less to our success. Result: the score at the end of the second half was 13 to 7 in favor of Shenandoah. R. O. H. S. in holding Shenandoah to a score of 13 to 7 gave Corning a score which is bound to make the team work hard. The evidence of this hard work was a score of 14 to 7 in Corning's favor, Jack Longstreet, receiving a pass from Boggess, succeeded in making a touchdown for QR. O. H. S. Boggess kicked goal. We may have been a little over-confident, due to our showingagainst Shenandoah, but we who watched most cautiously feel certain that it was mostly due to the hand of fate. - Hawkins, who had shown up so. well previously, had been automatically eliminated from the team. Virgil Woodsplaying his first game at quarter, was much better than had been expected. Leland Replogle, always known to add enthusiasm in a game was not able to be in at the start. Spears played Logan's position at right tackle ex- ceptionally well while James filled Reppy's'f place at left half admirably. A The result of the Tarkio-Red Oak game at Tarkio was 49 to 7,in favor of Tarkio. We did not believe that it was possible to write a proportion like 49:7 equals the weight of Tarkio's team: the weight of Red Oak. And this game is not without honor to our team. Tarkio had beaten Tarkio College and had two high school vic- tories to her credit, one score 103 to 0, and the other 96 to 0, Red Oak being the first team to score against Tarkio. Leland made the lone touchdown and Boggess kicked goal. The next game, Atlantic vs. Red Oak, at home, was well worth mentioning, end- ing 19 to 0 in our favor. In spite of all objections offered by the Red Oak people who stood on the side lines, the Red Oak team- persisted in doing the right thing at the right time, and they were not satisfied with one touchdown, they had to have three, and one goal. Now, if you can imagine eleven men working as one you know how our team moved. However we would not have you think that we moved in a straight line. With the eye of a keen observer, and the hand ofa skilled artist, trace out the path of a bee in a clover field as he passes from blossom to blossom, dodgingnall the thistles, being careful to put in all the starts and stops, then you would have the exact likeness of the paths made by our backs as they dashed toward the opponent's goal. Too, if you know how many chairs get in your way when passing through a dark room and just how bothersome they are, you know how bothersome our line men were when Atlantic had the ball. , A Two hard games were to be looked forward to. We practiced long and hard. Of these two games Council Bluffs was tirstg we p'ayed the game at.Council Bluffs, the score being 25 to 0. Our boys played hard but not so well. Possibly it was the lack of pep , possibly the trip, probably our boys were stalef- Our playing was like a firetin aslough, first dying down to almost no fiame at all, then with a sudden bound, leaping upward with startling brllliancy. Thanksgiving day with hopes high, and yet expecting to have a fight, we started to Logan to play our final game. Logan had beaten Shen. the Saturday before and l9I3 Toot Ball.R. 0. B. 5. T X ITH the freshness of September breezes Red Oak High School assembled with all the enthusiasm of a well spent vacation. Football was dis- .Q fl cussed, first quietly, then restrainedly, finally reaching its ultimate out- Q 'fl I burst in the form of a squad of gridiron-clad exuberent youths 'desirous of practice which would lit them for an encounter with either overwhel- ming weight or speed. I To eight of these, football was in its walking and talking stages, one year old. To the rest it was entirely novel. The first practices gave rise to even more ability than was expected, for men who had not appeared in football attire the year before showed up splendidly. Hard work was the main feature of practices up to a short time before the Elliott game which resulted in a score of 6 to 3 for Elliott. Doc Smith in this, his first game for R. O. H. S. gave promise of a good running mate for Russell Baird, but we could not keep him. Something slipped, snapped, and broke. The rope was left dangling with only a thread for DeVere to catch at, miss, and plunge headlong to territory somewhere between 60 and the frezing point. lQ3-Il' Our next game, R. O. H. S. vs. C. H. S. at Corning was played with the lack of enthusiasm on the part of both teams, which is always the case when a game is worked up to and then postponed to take place a few days later. Lack of head work on the part of both teams was the main reason for the final score of six to six. Hawk- ins, the general of the R. O. H. S. team, making his first appearance as quarter-back showed up exceptionally well. Boggess at right-half succeeded in making the touch- down for the R. O. H. S. team by picking up a fumble and deliberately, without either ceremonials or apologies to the Corning team, ran across the C. H. S. goal line. At- tempt to kick goal failed. Likewise Corning intercepted a miscalculated pass from one of the R. O. H. S. backs and carried the ball across for a touchdown. Attempt to kick goal failed. R. O. H. S. rallied, and Hawkins, sprinting brilliantly, was tackled less than arms length from the goal line and in the attempt to push the ball over, lost it. A little later Corning made several startling advances by forward forcing. Defeat seemed certain but one pass failed which gave the ball to R. O. H. S. A good pass was com- pleted, the whistle blew and the game was over. 16 to 0 in favor of R. O. H. S. was the result of the R. O. H. S.-Essex encounter at Essex. Harry Saint, playing his first game at guard, did work to his credit. Those who saw the Shenandoah vs. Red Oak on the home field know that the R. O. boys have ability. It was our hope to be the better team. The nrst half ended 6 to 0 in favor of Red Oak, made by a forward pass from Boggess to Longstreet, who was tackled instantly, falling across the goal line. Blackburn, the captain of the Shenandoah team, who had failed to arrive for the first half, entered the second half with all the prowess of a well chosen captain. He added everything to the Shen. team that before seemed lacking- pep and real ability, he did not add to our en- :fem T x-I Wifi' if Wa lacking gressed average ponents E I ix l i' 'W xt 'i if ' Basket ,Ball THE first call issued for Basket Ball practice, about thirty fellows turned out. Only three players were left from last season, including Olson, Boggess, and Logan. But the new ones soon began to show their adept- ness at the basket game and a team of good caliber was soon chosen. The season, taken as a whole, was a successful one, although the team took several reversals of form throughout the year. Team work was in the start, but this was finally overcome with practice as the season pro- Out of eight games played our boys won five and lost three, making an .of .600 per cent. During the season our team scored 278 points to their op- 227, an average of over 34 points per game, or a lead of over 51 points. This does not include the Co. M game which was won by a score of 28 to 26, The season was officially opened at Malvern, New Yearfs night, but the boys were handicapped by the loss of Clements' and Griiiith, the two star guards and were beaten 36-29. Revenge was mighty sweet though, when Malvern came over for a return game and they were walloped by a score of 39-115 ' Our ancient enemies from Corning were next but they proved to be 'our only masters during the schedule and beat us at home and also when we invaded their Camp. Villisca, who were playing their first basket ball they had ever played, put up a very strong argument for our boys but we finally romped away with a 26-24 score. The team demonstrated its best playing of the year when the boys fought again with Villisca a week later. They shot baskets from all angles and succeeded in run- ning up 50 points while their enemies gathered 28. One Saturday night Macedonia came down to look over the town and play our boys, but they were unmercifully drubbed, 53-13. ' The season closed with the best game of the year, the one with College Springs. This team had swept everything before them until they reached here, and they were forced to bow down to our colors for they were defeated 38-24. Boggess playing his last year for Red Oak High had one of the best years of his career. His perfect passing and basket shooting stamped him as one of the fastest players that ever donned a uniform for Red Oak. Captain Olson as the other forward, playing his second year at forward, also displayed great form. His pep and aggressiveness were his chief features and he never gave up until the last whistle was blown. Logan playing the pivot position for the team excelled in teamwork. He was continually feeding the ball to the forwards, and always came through with a couple of long baskets from the floor when they were needed. Griflith, captain-elect of next year's team, playing the running guard, was fast On the floor. He was always in the game, giving them all he had, and shot many baskets from the field. He has two more years in school and should develop into a wonder. Council Bluffs two Weeks before. Of course we expected them to be overconfident on account of competetive scores and they were, but withall they had the advantage of playing on their home ground, and succeeded in keeping the 25 of the 25 to 0 score. Logan's favor, Logan came back strong in the second half, so strong that it seemed revengeful and succeeded in adding 18 points. When we compared scores, we decided there were but two things to be regretted. The din- ner that we didn't get, and the dinner that we did. The first half ended 7 to 0 in Throughout the season we had a fullback and captain worthy of much praise. He worked hard, he played the game, he kept his head, and when we needed a last two, three, or sometimes ten and fifteen yards, we called our captain through the line. VVhen we needed a hole for him to go through, our guards, our tackles, drove like a fist closed in final determination to win. When we needed ends to fill positions as ends, must we look to Jack, Jake, and iltis. Quarter backs, we used three, De, Hawk, and Woods. Leland and Glenn played our half back positions. Without their dodging, their vim, their speed, their acuracy, we know there would have been a question. x Are we ashamed of our' season? No! Neither are we ungrateful to those who came out night after night to give our team practice, nor to those who on the side- lines cheered us on to do our best. HINES. - E Supt.

Cbe Girls' Basket Ball Season .A f HE GIRL'S team of basket tossers, with one exception, trimmed every team in sight for 1913-14. The first game of the season was played January 1 9th, against the Murphy Co. girls f?J and the score stood in favor of the team 17-2. - Then came the fair Glenwood girls to our floor January 16th, and again victory was with us 16-1. The team's Waterloo came next. After many changes and many hours the team linally landed in College Springs in an Omni- bus. The Iloor was so small that but live players could be used and the team scored its first defeat, 30-7, but its hurt pride was. soothed somewhat by.the reception that followed and soon the team was once more ready to do and dare. After this it wiped out its College Springs defeat by a succession of victories. On January 30th Tabor could only take away a score of 8 while we succeeded in keeping 20. This team played such a strenuous game that their centers needed support from the Red Oak team. If you care to know more of the lovely girls ask Allison. A A ' February 3rd the Regulars hied away to the far West-Glenwoodf-and won the game 13-7. The last game was a Joy.

By winning 6 out of 8 games they sure deserved the title of Champions of South-western Iowa Ijligh Schools. They met and defeated Corning, Villisca, Clarinda, and Shenandoah. f A good deal of the praise must go to Doc Smith as he developed into by far the best High School pitcher around here. In Fred Shields we had a catcher that could come up to any catcher that we played against. The infield was the kind that one likes to see in action. With Ole on first, Boggey on second, Jack at short and Jim on third, we had an infield that would class with any in the state. The out Held was the kind that a pitcher likes to have behind him, because he knows that any ball knocked there is sure to be caught. The best game of the season was played at Shenandoah on May 25th. The score was 2 to 1 in favor of Red Oak, but the game was in doubt until the last man was out in the ninth. Not a hit was made on Doc until the seventh inning and altogether they only got four hits While we obtained eight. At least half of the team will be back for next year, and with a year's experi- ence, the other high schools want to look out for us, we're bad. i N' . J. B. L. Crack Season of 1913 1 ..'- HE SEASON was not what could be called a success, owing to bad weather and lack of competition. Still, owing to the splendid coaching of Mr. Williams, we had a. team which was by no means the poorest in the his- tory of Red oak High. as There were three fellows in school that could hold their own with X the best in South-western Iowa. They were: Donohue, Cooksey, and Boggess. These three fellows won points in every event that they entered. ..... . . A home meet was to have been held on May 3, but owing to rainy weather it had to be postponed. Next it was decided to send the team to Clarinda on the 10th to compete in the triangular meet between Shenandoah, Clarinda and Red Oak. This was also postponed on account of rain. On the 17th we held the meet in Red Oak. In this, Shenandoah won first and Red Oak and Clarinda tied for second place. In the 440 Boggess ran an excellent race, winning second. The time was 54 seconds which is very fast for high sc' ools to make. Cooksey and Donohue were sent to Tarkio to the Tri-State Meet and Donohue made a name for himself by winning third in the mile, the time of which was five minutes flat. As Clarinda sent 16 men to this meet and did not win a point, the show- ing of Bill sure speaks well for the class of athletics that Red Oak High has. By graduation we lose some of our best men, still the prospects, are good for a winning team this spring, and so let's boost for a track team in R. O. H. S. - I J. B. L. .

In 1906 the Board of Education contracted with the Ameri- can Manual Training School of Chicago, to furnish equipment and plans for bench work in the grades. A month or so later tive wood-turning lathes were purchased. The shop was establishehd in the lst and 2nd primary rooms of the Lincoln building. The initial valuation of equipment etc. was about 8225, of which Mr. F. Burkett furnished part. Since that time new equipment and twenty mechan- ical drawing sets have been added, making the present value approximately 3450. Some form of handwork is taught in every grade and in High School. Below the fourth it is done in the rooms. From 4th to 8th the boys take bench work at irls are taught sewing in the rooms. All manual training is com- the shop and the g pulsory in the grades, but elective in High School. Any High School boy is permitted f 90 hours each. Each credit means about 1-5 Wood turning, 2-5 mechanical drawing, and 3-5 bench work. At present there are 230 grade pupils and 35 High School pupils taking the work. Although the department and equip- ment is fair, we hope that next year more High School boys can be accommodated erected, a modern shop with machine equipment to make four credits o and that when our new building is will be provided. 2 Debating 'TOON after the Christmas vacation Mr. Williams called a meeting of the Q seniors of the R. O. H. S. and as the above mentioned had an exceedingly cross look upon his face, of course we were somewhat frightened. When the class was called to order the principal in his deep bass voice spoke I 'J thus: We,-that is you-are going to have a debate. Silence fell on the members of the class of 1914, broken by this from chairman: What I mean to say is this: That all people who obtain a position on the team, either against Shenandoah or Clarinda, will be excused from writing orations. A few very industrious pupils of the class decided to take up debating after weeks of hard work. A preliminary was pulled off before the honorable judges: Miss Molly Sievers, Miss Mary Hunter, and Mr. G. C. Williams. Hazel Carl, 'Laura Goultry, and Roy Stevenson were chosen to stay in Red Oak to prove that All corporations carrying on inter-state commerce must be required to take out a Federal charter. Helen Goodrich, Lawrence Boyer and Milo Thompson' were to tell Shenandoah people that federal charters were all a fake. Owing to the Shenandoah boys having the mumps, the debate was left between Clarinda and Red Oak. At noon, March 27, 1914, the negative team met at the depot and proceeded to go to Clarinda. The teams are very sorryito have to confess that they were somewhat overpowered, the score being 2-1 in both places, leaving a stand- ing of 4-2. ' I forgot to mention that Miss Hunter accompanied the negative team to Clar- inda to see that we all returned, as there seemed to be some doubt in the matter. The teams hope that next year debating between R. O. H. S. and C.'H. S. will stand 6-0 in the former's favor. P H. D. G. 'l4. Declamatorp Contest .. t ,V N ipgikkg 1 ,ff f S G , 4. s. . , , , .

In these contests, at least, the old if f's..f-l ' 412615 J Greek ideas of the art of oratory are given full sway and pupils are al- lowed to compete against each other in eloquence. A special invitation was issued to the Seniors to give our school examples of modern eloquence. This invitation met with a generous response. However, our learned instructor did not limit the invitation to the class of '14 alone, so that sev- eral Juniors and Sophomores were enrolled. , The hrst contest was held on Friday, March 20, 1914. There were eleven con- testans, four in the dramatic class and seven in the humorous. The competition was strong, so that at first it was hard to tell who would come out ahead. After due deliberation, the judges awarded the Bear Story, by Grace Larson, first place in the humorous, and The Swan Song by Margaret Telfer, first place over all as well as first in the dramatic class. The second contest was held April 17, 1914. Ten people took part this time, two in the oratorical class, two inthe dramatic, and the remaining in the humorous. Again the battle waged iercely with the result of victory in the dramatic class for How the Church was Built at 'Kehoe's Bar by Carmalita Malnburg, in the oratorical division to Toussaint L'Ouverture by Laura Gonick, and to Abbie's Accounts, by Carol Willis, in the humorous department. Carol Willis was awarded first over all. Margaret Telfer, Carol Willis, and Laura Gonick were sent to represent Red Oak at Clarinda on April 24. There they met the successful contestants of Clarinda and Shenandoah. The result of this contest was a first, second, and third place for Red Oak. Laura Gonick captured first place in oratory and was presented with a gold pin. Carol Willis was awarded second place in the humorous class. The next journey for declamatory honors is to Tarkio, Mo., May 8. At the pres- ent moment complete plans have not been made. ' L. G. '16.

The principal told him to take a chair The poor boy was scared half. to death He kept running his fingers through his hair A And was constantly holding his breath. Afraid of what the teacher would do He tried to straighten things out The principal said, We are tired of you, You had better hit another routef, So from the office he slowly walked To get his hat and coat gg He couldn't open his mouth to talk The Prof,' had taken his goat.
