F rom dear old Red Oak High Theyive been just as busy as ever With doins for teachers and such And what they didn't get in declam Didn't amount to much. Most of the football men were Seniors And the same in basketball. That class sure turned out some Whoppers-- Never saw boys quite so tall. And in baseball they are corkers i That's the game Ilike to see- Their playin' sure is great, ltell you tAnd it quite unsettles me. , They've allers had the right spirit That makes their Work worth while- They are proud of their class and the high school And Wish for 'em fortune's glad smile.

And the l-I. i Assembly roared- , ' ff' A ' Thiswas their welcome home. N The first notable event the 'l6s encountered during their Junior year was the selecting of officers. There being such a goodly number to choose from, it was hard to decide upon. However Elmer Olander was finally chosen presi- dent, -van W1ll1s,.'v1ce-president and Courtland Shancks secretary and treasurer. , The next event was the hard times party the chief characteristics of which were overalls and aprons, starvation and 2:30 a. m. ' The following Juniors were now added to the Glee Club: 'Dwight Hus- ton and Russell Anderson. The class was also honored by having, one of its members chosen for the debating team. In the series of declamatory contests, the following Juniors+Dwight Hus- ton, Grace Thomas, Laura Cioniclg, and Gladys Archer won firsts. . The year closed with the great climax of the year, the Junior-Senior recepf tion which added another laurel wreath to the fame of the Juniors. Throughout the year Miss Ballard most efficiently advised this illustrious class in all matters of prudence.

Not as a fifteen comes They the noble minded came Not with the roll of stirring drums And the trumpet of empty fame. g It was such with purposes and qualities that the '16, eighty strong, entered the high school. They were goodly to look upon with their fresh green looks and manners, like unto a spring morn. And, as is the general fate of all green things, the R. O. I-I. S. population began to trample upon and to abuse the fresh plants. And so it was that 'I6 endured the most fearful scoldings from teachers and upper-classmen. Amidst this storm they sang A And the stars heard and the sea ' But the sounding aisles of the Assembly', rang , g With the anthem of the free. 1 Then it was decided to appoint Ivan Willis president to protect their rightsg Ruth Rolfe was made his assistant, and Courtland Shancks was made his right arm. To care for the finances and business correspondence Fred Wetter- holm was appointed. t ' With t-he setting in of Winter and the consequent withering of the fresh ones a party was decided upon and carried out most successfully. , , Sometime later it was again decided upon to have a party at which punch Was to be the drink. Well enough said-when the time for punch came there was none to be seen. The following spring Laura Gonick Won first in oratory in the declam- atory contest and was sent to the tri-city contest at Clarinda, but was unsuc- cessful there. t t Furthermore this class furnished several excellent stalks for basketball purposes. , ' ' ' . ., ffl., ,. -1' ' ' f,:11.- -f-' ,xr SOPHAQNIORE CLASS NXWW V1 X qwmo ff gqgvvvl-11,0141 X. .

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The marvelous and honorable class of Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen entered the high school one bright September morn, in the year of l9l3. We entered not as most classes do, trembling and frightened, but with an air of bold- ness for were we not one hundred and twenty--five strong? The largest class that ever entered the spacious halls. s , , During our Freshmen year we made many records along literary as well as athletic lines. Our one great literary achievement was the publication of the Breeze a very witty little paper which aroused the enthusiasm of the whole school and soon other classes were demonstrating their ability 5 but we, the so-called Freshies, started it. In athletics 'Woods and Saint honored us by holding places on both the football and baseball teams, while Clements earned a position on every team. We were not weak from a social standpoint, however, for two parties and a picnic were held, the latter at the home of Ruby Zaelke. Our last party of the Freshmen year was a grand success as a gloom chaserf' a one act farce and a minstrel show being given by members of the class. This entertainment was proclaimed by the faculty the best ever given at a class party. Our Sophomore year opened with still brighter prospects although our roll was decreased to ,eighty-six. As a public speaking class was organized, several of our class competed in declamatory contests although they did not carry away any first places they did justice to themselves and theirclass and we are proud of them. lnathletics we were represented in every branch by Saint, Clements, Woods and Hawkins. p A Wiener roast was held north of the city and a large number of the class attended. Theparty was a surprise on Miss Thompson, class adviser, at Mrs. Pringle's home and was a great success. Our last party was held at the High School, March the twelfth. g ,..r., , , , , , ,YL ,I CLASS RGLL OFFICERS President - V- - - Harley Fife Sec.-Treas. i i Lennea Ahlstrand Bernice Allen Frances Allender Edith Armstrong Earl Butler V Jessie 'Bridges Lawrence Bruce Helen Brown Elizabeth Carey .

History shows that these same youthful students had not ,long before departed from the grammar school of Red Oak, or perhaps from some of the surrounding country schools with blithesome hearts and joyous counte- nances. During the summer many of them had prepared themselves for the duties of the High School not only by studying, but by the boys procuring for themselves long trousers, while the girls obtained long dresses and fashioned their hair from. a braid to a knot upon their heads resembling a parkerhouse roll. It was not long until the Freshmen found out that the teachers were real human beings, even if they didn't act human, for instead of letting the Freshmen eat their dinner at the usual noon hour on the first day, they seemed to prefer to keep them in and assign them their schedules. After a few days, when they had learned by heart their dailyroutine, even the teachers acknowledged that the class of 1918 proved to be a most industrious, even if they didn't intellectual and conscientious class. It was not long until they had their first class meeting, at which they found themselves to be one of the largest class that ever entered R. O. H. S. At the same meeting they elected officers, and immediately planned their iirst class party, which took place at the High School late in the fall. It was well attended and proved to be a very interesting affair. In the declamatory contests, the freshmenpwere well represented, a few of whom proved successful. The Freshmen do notuclaim many honors in athletics, although many of them made second teamsg but for the following years there is much promise from the class of '18. g l . G, N. '18, f l vh i-..

Campbell ' ' g i AN .APPRECIATION , In this age, when the world is apt to measure a man by what he has done, we are proud to attribute a life of faithful service to Mr Campbell. A man who, through sixteen years of close association with the work of the Red Oak High School, has helped make it possible for many hundred pupils to do high school work, surely merits the highest tribute that can be given-that of service to his community. Certainly the world is a little better and life a little brighter for many because of the life of Mr. Campbell. When High School classes were held in what is known as the Webster building, Mr. Campbell' first became janitor. Some time later when the present building was built, he began his work here, up to a week before his death, he was on duty, doing his work with a will, and more than that, by his kindliness, making himself dear to all the pupils who have been enrolled in the school. , , Although many have since remarked that Mr. Campbell seemed not to be Well this winter, it was with surprise that news came of his serious illness. Each one continued to hope for his recovery until his death came Thanksgiving morning. Funeral services were held in the United Presbyterian church 'on Saturday, Novem- ber 28. Most of the High School pupils who were in town were present to pay a last mark of respect to their friend. The singing was by a chorus of High School boys and other High School boys acted as pall bearers. - Mr. Campbell's interest in High School activities was unusual. At football and basketball games he was always present, usually taking charge of the tickets. Af parties and entertainments he seemed to enjoy the congenial spirit which has always existed between him and the boys and girls. Almost every pupil, both among th0S9 who are now in school and among those who have gone out of High School can recall sometime when he has profited by the patience and kindness of Mr. Campbell. No Wonder that an unexpressed regret comes to every pupil, when, upon entering the building, he feels the absence of one whom he has been so accustomed to find on duty.

L As it is the custom for no class organization among Freshmen students 1 we are like a company of soldiers without a general. But of course we shall not be in this condition long, for we are confident that when the commander-in-chief and his lieu- tenants call for inspection our grades and conduct will be A-1. , The first battle of our campaign was fought when we were given the orders to disperse to our class rooms.

He was playing his last year at tackle and was exceptionally good at running interference when called upon. Vet was a good leader for the team and at all times displayed his cool, make-sure tackling. At Shenandoah he was taken out in the last half to try out a new man, but played a large majority of the games. His loss will be felt by the next year's squad as he was a general favorite. p MARION THOMAS Thomas was a valuable man to the team this-year. I-I-is training for two years placed him in good condition as he early showed himself to be of first rate caliber last fall. Tommie backed up the line remarkably well, and his nerve and strength enabled him to buck the line for good gains. He was considered to be the best full back Red Oak has seen for the last few years. DE VERE HORTON Horton was the star on defense and his tackling and blocking were features in every game in which he played. He was thought by the squad as the peppiest fellow on the team. If an all-southwestern team had been picked Pug would cer- tainly have secured a place. . l ll i wir!!-w ' A A 1 -A ' 4 - ' ' ' - ' rg: 4 - E ' Ng , T E aa: 5 -. - . f D A D - a -. :I-'S .ae I ' ' - .J ' E E' QE 5 f qv , f, - ff :ig IEEE 155 A if ' -' f A Q ' E ai - 5 l X llwirvlff r - ?

He gave our team the trick plays and fighting spirit which brought about our victories. , Another important factor in the team was unity. Throughout the whole season there was never any feeling of disension among the players. Everybody worked for the team and buried thoughts of himself. ' , Much credit is due to the second team for their regular attendance to practice. Mostof them knew they had no chance to make the first team this year but came out from a sense of duty. These are the fellows who will have the best chance next year. ' T , The first game was with Villisca, on our .own grounds. As we'had only been practicing for two 'weeks this.was a pretty slow game. However, we sent our visitors home with the score of 26-0 in our favor. Having no interscholastic game for the next Saturday, we played a practice game, with a team made up of town fellows who were interested in making R. O. H. S. put out a winning team. Although we trimmed them about 78-0 we were much benefited by the practice' as our opponents were excellent individual players. r On October 9th the Corning aggregation were our visitors. Because of our having an inexperienced quarterback in this ,game the visitors carried home the long end of a 3-9 score. . V I During the next week five men were interchanged on the team, thereby causing us to meet Shenandoah with several men inexperienced to their positions. As a result our teamwork was broken upwhile our opponent's team was made up of men with more than one year's experience in their positions. Our individual playing was good and as a. result' we held themto 13 and took 6 for ourselves. ' The next game was with Mr. Hines' team from Supt. Cramer's school. A disagree- able trip on an early train put us in Atlantic in time for a morning game. We gobbled two touchdowns and one goal, allowed nothing for Atlantic and took the first train home. , ' e ' With Thomas and Erickson out of the game wexwere in exceedingly poor condi- tion to meet Corning on her own grounds the next Friday. Our machinery was all broken up and our spirits were very low. By the time we arrived home they were about iifty-seven degrees lower. , ' With-everything running smoothly, the next three games showed the result of the season's work. We outplayed the strong eleven from Council Bluffs' as the score of 13-0 will show. The next Saturday we ran over Creston to the tune of 73-0' and on Thanksgiving day crowned the season with a 20-0 victory over Clarinda. The record shows our total almost double that of our opponents, tive shutouts in our favor, and with the exception of the Corning game, which we were in no condi- 5011 to Play, we were defeated only twice and both times by only one touchdown. l V V S ' 3 I A - ' I .- ..

She has played front forward, passing the ball back to Chapman. We will miss her optimism and sunshine. ' This has been Eulalia Chapman's first year in our team. She has played back forward, and has made in the seven interscholastic games that we have played fifty- two field baskets and nine free trows. We are all hoping that she will be with us again next year. She knows how to play the game, works every minute during the game and is always ready to help the other fellow. ' Leona Roby, your tall center, is the other senior who played on the first team this year. For two years we have always found her right in her place, doing her best for the betterment of the team.

T If Lfifvdihi' Review of TBoy's Basket Ball Season Without any practice during the week, the team wen,t to Clarinda Friday night, December 19, 1914 for the curtain raiser of the season, The game was a trifle undecided at the end of the first half, but- Red Oak soon reached a decision and brought home the more interesting end of the score 27-17. - . The next game, Christmas evening, the high school boys easilymwon over the Red Oak Commercials with .a score 44-27. . - New Year's night our team of basket tossers journeyed westto that -ancient city of Malvern and soon convinced the team of the aforementioned town that they CMalvernJ knew nothing of our sport. Enough said, we Won G7-7. A . ' ' ' The following Friday Council Bluffs came down to wipe Red Oak off the map. VVe were well prepared, however, and after an interesting game won with the score of 48-24. Corning was our next victim. They brought quite an enthusiastic bunch of rooters along, but we were bound to win, owing to last year's score and this fall's football score. It -was the fastest and tightest game ever played in Southwestern Iowa. Wye won, nine points to the good 31-22. The next game we met our first defeat of the 'season at the hands of Riverton on a cement floor. If there had been more players on both sides it, would .have been the fastest game of Rugby football ever played in Iowa. I-Iowever, there was no alternative, after we had once seenthe floor, so Red Oak didher best, as is her custom, closing 19-22. ' At Villisca the second team started the game but were hardly in Villisca's class. The Firsts had barely time enough to overcome the lead Villisca- had obtained and to Win. The final score was 34-31. , . . .In the game with Villisca on our home floor, we easily defeated the Blue and White. In this. game Logan displayed some excellent guarding and basket shooting. After run- ning Villisca off their feet, time was called and the score was 53-15. The same evening the second team began the game with Clarinda and. made it very fast and interesting but Clarinda scored the most points during the Seconds play ing. The Firsts came with a rush paralyzing Clarinda for the rest of thehgameg thereby Winning 47-30. ' . ' ' Now for our revenge. The only team which had vanquished Red Oakiso far this season ,entered the game strong, expecting to repeat the event. I-Iowever, Ole, Jim and Griff were in perfect scoring trim that night, making a total of 53 against 17. Poor old Riverton could not boast any more. ' - .The next game on the schedule at Corning was exceptionally tightand was characterized by the close guarding of both teams. In the first-few minutes when Olson threw! his foul and field basket the two. hundred and fifty people. from Red Oak were on their feet cheering for the Orange and Black. Clemmy, Lute and 'Gr1ff gave an exhibition .of some of -the best guarding possible, while Ole and J1m's minds turned to the long distance shots. The teams were so evenly matched that it was only a matter of fouls. They won 12-19. g The last game of the season was won by Red Oak against Omaha 26-23. The game was a thriller from start to-finish, both teams playing phenomenal' ball. 1 A . h TOURNEY Arr DRAKE 4 The team went to Drake, March 13, 14 to participate in the Southwestern,Distr1ct Tournament.. There were nine high schools represented incluzdin-g Red Oak, Corning, Dallas Center, Perry, Corydon, Bedford, Allerton, Oscepla and Mamlla. P t , - The first day's play resulted in victories for Corning, Red' Oak, Perry, Dallas Center, and Corydon. Osceola forfeited their game to Corning and Red Oak Won easily from Bedford 32-16. In this game Red Oak maintained a decided lead. of 'several points The next morning Corning romped all over Corydon and Red Oak likewise' vanquished Perry 38-10. The first half of the Red Oak-Perry game ended a draw 5-5. but the fellows soon Upepped up and scored, 32 points. In the afternoon it was a toss-up between Dallas Center, Corning and Red Oak. As luck would have it Corning drew .the blank card and Red Oak made quick work of Dallas Center, scoring 42 'against their Corning and Red Oak had the privilege of going to the State Tournament the following Friday, both being winners. - . The oiiicials did not decide on southwestern champs .although .Red Oak can lay the better claim for it. Olson was conceded to .be the star of the tournament. STATE TOURNAMENT AT IONVA CITY . . Corning and Red Oak were 'sent to Iowa City, March 19, 20 to represent this district., There were eight teams at the meet including Ottumwa, Ft. Dodge, Corning, Red Oak, Muscatine, Jefferson, Clinton and Davenport. Red O-ak drew Ft. Dodge for the Hrst game but was defeated 38-20.

Valma Wallace, one of last year's forwards has this year held the position of side center. She has been regular in her practice workand she has played inevery game during the season. It was very seldom that she missed a ball that came any- where near her. Her unselflshness and fairness have won for her. respect of the whole team. . y 1 Ruth Bass, one ofour last year's guards, heldher old position again this year and she certainly came up to the mark when it came to holding downher opponent.

Q, I Review of ,Girls Basketball Season Our, girls have surely covered themselves with glory in the season just past, having thoroughly trimmed everything insight. On January first, they travelled down to Shenandoah carrying with them the good resolution to win or die in the attempt. Such strenuous' efforts were not needed however for they won easily 19-4. The next game was on the home floor with Sidney which we won by' a score of 28-1. ' . - On,February 6 the team said farewell to Red Oak and journeyed afar to the large city of Riverton. In spite of a miniature, cement floor and a very low ceiling the girls whipped the Riv-erton aggregation to the tune of 12-1. A The next Wednesday, February 11, the girls together with the boys went to fair Villisca. This game was won easily as all the previous ones, the score standing 28-5. ' ' The return game with the Villisca girls was played the next Friday, February 13. The large floor andlnoisy crowd seemed to rattle the Villisca team for when they did get the ball their aim was very uncertain while Chapman and Braden rolled the score up to 37-5. ' The doughty Riverton team' appeared on February 20, full of determination to avenge the former defeat. Alas, for their hopes however for Red Oak was too much for them and although the team was not up to its usual standard and playing ragged ball, they beat their opponents 27-6. The last game of the season was played at Tabor Friday, February 26, in which Red Oak was victorious with a score of 42-14. This was the largest score the girls ran up this season.

Athletics for girls had so far been restricted .to basket ball, so it was decided this year to start something else in addition to this in which a greater number could join, and especially those who did not have a chance to make one of the teams. i - i So the girls made their suits fwhich were black with orange ties, and about the first of October started work under the instruction of Miss Draves. The class met twice a week after four-thirty in the upper 'hall of the High Schoolbuilding. Miss Thomas furnished music for the exercises. i These quarters were so crowded that sometimes it was necessary to Work only half the class at a time. Here the girls were taught setting up exercises and free work. e When the basket ball season opened up, the class was removed to the armory. y Here the work broadened out, and the instruction covered Indian Club Drills,'Wand Drills, Folk Dances, Tactics and Singlestick which consists of fenacingexercises done in rythm with singlesticks instead of foils. As the season advanced, some of the girls gave up the work in preference to basket ball, and some of the seniors found it necessary to give it up on account of other work. Quite a few of the girls were very fait-hful in attendance, some of them being interested enough to take girls to their homes and do personal tutoring While others fcarried on the class work in the instructor's absence. It was planned to start a couple of hockey teams this spring, but because of a lack of an available place in which to practice, it was decided to give it up until next fall.

Under Miss Edson's capablerileadership and direction the chorus has practiced for two or three 'fgmornings out of every week. . I e ,At every Declamatory Contest as well as at the debate, and' at several outside affairsfthe Glee Club has sung at least one selection. Every member hasfprofited by this workin music for new songs have been memorized. Order and ,l,' punctuality' have also been learned and the minds have been refreshed and: relaxed by the music. 'With the leaving of the Senior members the Glee Club will be rather small but there is still a' great deal of good talent to draw from in the remaining classes, and we hope to see aslarge, if not a larger, organization of this kind nexteyear.

There were. three especially good features about this Workg first, that those taking part received a credit for the yea1 s work, that the Seniors were excused from Writing orations and third, the great benefit received from speak' ing in public. The pupils did not enter the work with the contest idea upper- most but to get some benefit from the work and to get the value obtainednfrom speaking before an audience. . V Special tribute is due to Miss Hatswell vvho has been untiring in her efforts to please Red Oak audiences and to make public speaking a pleasure. Red Oak, has been especially fortunate in having such at talented instructor to head this department. She .has made the hours spent in Public 'Speaking some of the most profitable hours in High School. She hasvvorked with seventy different kinds of pupils and pieces in three different classes and brought out the best ability that was in the pupil and the best Work in the piece. The interest taken in the work has shown Red Oakis appreciation of Miss I-latsWell's Work and should Red Oak be unfortunate enough to lose her it would indeed be a thing to regret.

The course has proven interesting beyond our expectations. Seventy pupils from all four classes en- rolled in the' class and because of the limited time and large number of pupils thedwork was not so extensive as Miss I-latswell would have liked to have ma e lt. e t There were three classes that met once a week until the contests-rlbegan and thengprivate lessons were given to each participant in the contests. 'alt was imperative for everyone taking Public Speaking to appear in one contest. It was necessary that these contests be held in order to chooseipeople that should represent Red Oak in the various contests held in the state. if The pupils were divided into groups of ten, making seven preliminary contests. Only six contests were held before choosing the ,winners for the Tri-City contests. The contests were heldon the following dates! with these people as winners.

To some this journey has not appeared success- ful, fortunately this opinion is shared by the minority. Though hampered by the lack of commodious quarters, the aims reached this year have been in many instances better than last year. A I I The general spirit of the school has been good, its tendencies have been somewhat 'swayed by the other things whose functions are far more useful. than the good habits attained by undesirable activities. A few of these things which have taken the attention ofthe I-ligh School with a vital interest are: The Pep, The Annual, Glee Club, Athletics, Booster Club, Public Speaking, Debating, Corn and Tomato Club and Lessons., . The Pep supplanted the various papers started last year, viz: The Wind', The Breeze and The Tornado. With a staff appointed by the faculty and managed by one of the faculty The Pep came into existence and has passed one mile post of its life, successful in appearance and finance. The Pep was planned to- culminate in an annual. Surely this volume is evidence thaththe aim was reached. There is 'much evidence that the students received much valuable trainingiin preparing such publications. - All forms ofilxligh School athletics started with an abundance of exper- ienced material. This, together, with able coaches spelled Q success for our school in this field. A A For the football season the High School was represented by one of the largest and fastest elevens in this section. In addition to this excellent first team .there was developed a very fast second team in which our future hopes lie. Ili: the various contests upon the gridiron the R. O. H.

Starting with prac- tically all old players, the team swept away everything but Corning and River- ton, earning a trip to Des Moines and Iowa City. The team played sixteen games and won thirteen. f ' A . iThe Girls Basketball team is the only team of the I-ligh School that can claim a perfect record, having Won all games played.

E. woon It is with pleasure that I respond to the request of a delegate from the Class d O k t the raduating of 1915 to write a m-essage on behalf of the citiziens of Re. a o g h ht il f the Red Oak High School And in writing this brief message the t oug ss o -- C a ' mind is that of service mastery leadership, and the necessary uppermost in my , , . . equipment that the members of th-e class should have to make their leadership felt in the course of the years. - . A He who would master the men and the forces of the day 'and marshal them in order and lead them toward a chosen goal must nrst of all be furnished with a sound physical equipment. This physical equipment, to be adequate, must-be gauged by the nature of the task undertaken. Physical equipment does not n-ecessarily mean t. large biceps, they should be suiigiciently large, but it does mean a good diges ive system, a strong heart, good lungs and a nervous system that will have a reserve of strength at the end of the -struggle. He Who would master men should first be able to so master his own self that his physical makeup will not be impaired by any drain caused by an excess of indulgence, along any harmful line. Each functioning organ should .be used with du respect and with that regard for its place in the ranks of the forces of mastery e that will cause it to be asked to .undertake only such work as shall be to 1tS up- building, and not to its undoing with the consequent risk that the final failure may be due to this one weak spot in the reserves of the leader. There is another source of power on the physical side that is quite different from the above. This source of power is the wealth of resource foundin the nnancial equipm-ent directly possessed by the leader or under his control by virtue of the fact that he has gained the confidence of its possession. Here is a physical equip- ment decidedly important in these days and which is too often overlooked because it has not been very closely associated in public speech with the life of the ideal. My point is not that we place wealth as our goal, but that we recognize the extreme importance of enlisting the forces of wealth in the cause we seek to establish. The secondigreat factor in the equipment of the modern life for adequate leadership is that of mental caliber. Above many a desk in the otiices of the success- ful concerns of the day we find the simple motto THINK. The crowd will follow willingly and often blindly and in error, the chance leader who happens to catch their fancyg but the man who honestly desires to establish within himself the full capacity for successful leadership for any length of time must possess the capacity to think, to think logically and clearly, and to think his way entirely through the problem to the end. The larger and broader the scope of one's leadership, the more thorough and exacting' must be ones training in the power and method and field of thought. A well trained mind, with every side thoroughly disciplined, and with the principles of clear thinking mastered and assimilated into thought-habits, is one of the essen- tials of the modern 1eader's equipment which cannot by any means be left out. Discrimination in terms of essentials and principles is one of the greatest safe- guards that any one can possibly possess in the complex life of the present day. And he who would lead, must be adequately equipped in this important particular. . ,, -. .

I Another feature of Athletics which should have had more support was Gymnasium for girls-Indian Club, Wand and Marching Drills. This work was started by Miss Draves, but on account of proper places for meeting had to be abandoned before the aim desired was realized. ' The springtime is known' for marbles and baseball. Cur school chose baseball. Having about two players for every position an exceptional team was ready as soon as the weather permitted. It is needless to say that spelled fear for theiropponents on every field. - Early in the year a.Glee Club was selected and training begun by Miss Edson. ,The work of this special chorus Was particularly noteworthy. Music being furnished for all the Public Speaking contests, Debate and Teacher's Institute. , 'S t I 4 .In the field of Debate, only such activity was performedas would enable the school to secure declamatory Contests. Two teams met defeat at the hands of Clarinda and Shenandoah. ' A ' The Corn and Tomato Club is a new feature which was started late in the year. It promises. to be a very profitable pursuit for several of our High Schoolboys and girls. This work will be conducted under the supervision of the school during the summer. Students winning in this work will receive prizes in the form of excursions to the Panama Exposition, i. e., the State winners, while thecounty winners are being sent by the county, but as yet no arrangement has been made for this county. This work is profitable financially and edu- cationally. i , s I - The Booster Club, a volunteer organization has been responsible for much of the school spirit and large attendance at games. Another feature of High School activitiesgwhich has proved of interest as wellas of educational value is the Public Speaking work. The enrollment of seventy pupils in this department has surpassed that of most high schools in the state. Each pupil appeared in one of the series of seven programs which were given at intervals during the year. These contests were well attended. This fact testifies to the spirit of co-operation amongthe patrons of the school. A t S Besides the literary value afforded' by such work, the declamatory con- tests have been a means of bringing our pupils into competition with those of other schools, on which occasions they have brought honor to our high school.

'J - We1 x .C 2' And now we take these two factors of mental capacity and physical sturdiness and give them a higher meaning and a deeper significance by joining them to the third essential in our character equipment namely a healthy moral fibre. By a healthy moral fibre I mean a character which is not merely moral in the sense that it reflects the general standards of character prevalent in its own group, but a character which governs its life largely from within and according to well-defined general principles of conduct which are fundamentally correct under any and all circumstances the whole'wide world around. This type of morality is more than moral reflection, it is moral insight. It seeks principles rather than customs and lives in the atmosphere of the universal and is not limited by the provincial. Without moral insight, re-enforced by sturdy moral trustworthiness, it is use- less for anyone to seek the position of leadership with any intention of maintaining this position in any real sense for any length of time. The world follows the tried and true. The false and the shallow have their day and are rejected. The true alone continues. Its rewards are genuine. Its iinal success assured. Be true! In our recipe for leadership we have gradually risen from the lowest, till now we demand a bnoad, deep, spiritual life as the highest and final factor in the complete equipment of the abiding leader. This final element is none other than the recogni- tion of the universal element in the life of the world. The element which we have chosen to call the spiritual and which the races of the world have without -exception in all the experiences of the life of humanity designated as the supreme factor and requisite in th-e makeup of the successful life. This factor is the religion life of the individual. It is the one 'factor which is absolutely necessary to give abiding worth and significance to theuniversal elements and the moral values of th-e world-life. He, who is without strong, abiding, healthy, self-developed religious convictions is devoid of that essential characteristic of char- acter which entitles him to expect or hope that he will ever have the right or abiding opportunity for leadership in its true meaning. ' It is this normal religious equipment which furnishes the foundation for the life of the world. He who is without these foundations has no claim to recognition by the world. He is transcient, ephemeral, a mere shadow and not the substance. If life is to beunderstood and brought into the order necessary to advancement and achiev-ement it' will be by virtue of this universal element native to usgall. And he, who, like the masters of old, would lead the varied hosts of the world must be adequately furnished with a genuine religious experience and a fund of religious convictions upon which to found his lif-e of personal mastery and social leadership. In speaking this brief message to the Class of 1915 of Red Oak High School, and looking forward into the -years in which some of your number shall have been chosen to fill positions of leadership, I earnestly urge upon you all the supreme importance of equipping yourselves with each and all of these factors of. strength and leadership, that no one may forfeit the high place of honor and service which may be his if only he shall determine manfully and struggle patiently to thoroughly equip himself for a position of serviceable leadership in the life of the world. 1 , x is ' e L L i I l 4' ', A 'U D D is E 2 X A ' it , . ss E l l up ,Z T If ' mfr y X Q Ei ii.
