Drawing near to the close of the year 1918-1919 we pause to remem- ber those who have labored so diligently, so patiently and so willingly during the year. This year has teemed with discouragements and disappointments due to the repeated Hu quarantines, and many were the times when graduation seemed a mirage that had lifted and disclosed itself far in the distance. Nor indeed did this disappointment weigh heavily on the minds of the would-be Seniors alone, but each member of the student body felt his heart fall with a dull thud when he realized the significance of the order, Schools Closed. But so valiantly did Mr. Inman intercede with the authorities, and, brav- ing on, arrange that school might safely continue, that, notwithstanding the fact that much precious time had been lost, he brought forth the encourage- ment that with universal co-operation we might yet make shore. So bending our oars to the perilous waters, with Professor Inman at the helm, Mr. Mull as commanding captain, and a brave, trusty crew of teachers with ready hands and willing hearts, the old R. O. H. S. ship loaded with 300 lusty students headed through, and is now triumphantly steaming into Commencement Harbor. Proud, indeed, do we feel to have with us a band of such loyal people who we feel sure have our welfare at heart, and especially do the Seniors feel deeply grateful for the efforts which have been expended by them, and trust that the disappointments and trials which have been met during the last four years by those who have been with us doubly exceeded by pleasantness and encouragement. The entire student body extends sincerest appreciation and their kind wishes for the future of each member of the faculty of the Red Oak High School. -L. M.

Somehow we fain would linger In the halls of dear old High, In the garden of our friendships, Of the four years just passed by. But like the tidal waters, That are never turned aside We are borne into the future, And drift on with the tide. Full many of us know not The land to which we go- The future lies before us In all its magic glow. So We greet thee, glad Commencement, More bright thy glory gleamsg The Class of 'l9 greets thee, Thou prelude to our dreams. With returning springtime and the joyousness and expectancy that pre- vades all outdoors, there is born Within our hearts a hope, a joy that puts us all in tune with the boundless gladness of nature, an aspiration or shall we say inspiration to carry on to some better end. Quite fitting does it seem that Commencement should have for it's setting the flowery and verdant months of May and June, for what other season of the year holds so much of promise. And, on the other hand, what period in life can hold so much of promise as Commencement time? The four years spent in the High School, affording one the association with a great student body, may truly be called a privilege. Our ideals are heightened, our social aspects are broadcast, our mental powers become more fully developed, here We find opportunity for the expression of the best that is in us, spiritually, mentally and physicallyg here we gain an insight into our better selves and discover those talents with which undoubtedly everyone is gifted. Indeed, this might wellibe called a great class room in which we are instructed and fitted out with adequate apparatus to go into the laboratory of social life and discover those experiments at which we are successful. Nor is it so void of unpleasantness as it seems, for there are manifold disappointments and discouragements, but it has been said, There is no excellence without great labor. The High School graduate emerging from these halls must not spell his departure in letters that form the word Finished, but with those letters which form the word, commenced, for truly has he just found the key to the great storehouse of truth and of knowledge. -L.

' E IDR CLASS I-IISTGRY It was in the fall of nineteen hundred fifteen when the present Senior class, one hundred two strong, embarked on the good old ship HR. O. H. Sf, The pilot was chosen and Francis Kidder took the wheel. Four seas we sailed that year and learned much in each, of English in England, Latin, in ltalyg Algebra, with the old Greeksg and Physiography, by traveling in differ- ent countries. Our greatest festivity of the year was our first party. Every- body came and such a time as we had. The voyage was all too short, how- ever, and soon we landed for the summer and left our ship for repairs. The first of September soon came and after three months of recreation we were ready for our second voyage on the same old ship. When we arrived at port we saw a new ship across the way which would be completed in time for our Junior voyage. Lyman Turner took the pilots chair and away we sailed. The ship was crowded, but it didn't dampen our spirits. Our finest party was here put on, and everybody appeared in mask. What a time we had! Those days of our voyage will linger long in our minds-the fine times we had, and the jolly friendships formed. The winter months sailed by and spring soon came. The Seniors were found plotting mutiny near the end of ihe. voyage, and with hardly any persuasion the Juniors joined themg we not to be outdone by upper-classmen, also joined in. Accordingly we landed and broke away from our work for a half day's good time. But our fun was short-lived and we will also bear long in mind the examinations we took at the end of the voyage, as a consequence for our misdemeanor. And again we will remember the raging Seniors who forfeited their two weeks vacation for their short half-day of fun. Again the summer appeared on the horizon and we disembarked for rest. Our new ship was finished when we returned and there in the fall of nineteen hundred seventeen began one of the happiest years of our voyageg Glendon Morgan took the tilter and away we sailed on our third voyage. We worked the hardest ever this year because there were so many things to do. Long we worked on the junior-Senior reception, and our efforts were rewarded by the finest reception ever put on. Only one had left our band to fight in the World war. This was our classmate, D. Smith, who was unfortunate enough to have broken his leg in New York. After spending six months in the hospital he received a fur- lough in time to return and enjoy our Junior-Senior reception. He soon left again and this time for France. The lesson of the former years sneak picnic still held a high place in the minds of the Seniors, and they went to The Powers That Be with uplifted hands imploring that a half day be granted them for their would-be THE PEP i- 27 mutiny. The request having been granted them, our lusty seamen also de- manded a half day and as a result the whole crew disembarked for the sneak CD. Soon land was sighted and again we docked, the illustrious class of l9l8 never again to trod our decks. Now in the fall of nineteen hundred eighteen, the greatest year in history, we started on the last lap of our voyage. Linn Schuler of Grant took the wheel. On November II the armistice was signed and the whole crew cele- brated far into the night. The Hu invaded our ship and we put to port for eight weeks. When we embarked again we were far behind in our work and we put in extra hours by working Saturdays. ln the first part of April we began work on our two class plays, the hrst, All of a Sudden Peggy, which was given May 2d and Sherwood, given Commencement night. Thus ended the voyage over the seas of learning of the best class C70 strong, that ever trod the decks of old R. O. H. S. Now we set sail on a voyage far different from those of the past, where we are all our own pilots. Who knows what rocks or storms we may en- counter? But here's hoping success and an illustrious career for all. -D. E. W. 'l9.

They certainly do look greenf' was the com- ment of the rest of the High School. The first day of school was very exciting and confusing. It was with great difficulty that these Freshies became acquainted with the rules of the High School. They were ridiculed by the higher classes because they had the misfortune to get lost in the halls and class rooms. The first year for this class was a mixture of greenness, importance and insignificance. But it was destined to be a great class. Ted Fisher, as president, and his loyal accomplices helped to guide the boat through the stormy waters of the Freshman year. Some had dropped from the class of I920 as they came back to the High School as Sophomores. They then had the opportunity to look down on the Freshmen, but the Sophomores were kind-hearted During this year they enjoyed themselves at such festivities as class parties, a sneak party and wienie roasts. But we must pass on to the year when this class may be called Juniors. In the junior year the most important events were called off on account of the Hu. Vacations and more vacations were the result until the Juniors became itred of even the name. They had a masquerade party during the first semester, a sneak party as usual, at Portergs Lake, and two sandwich and candy sales that were a success, financially. The l9l9 Junior officers were Paul Hush, president, Marie Kern, vice president and Glenn johnson, secretary and treasurer. The class also had the honor of counting among its members, Kirk Dennis, who received honorable mention on the All-State Football Team this fall. - --B. I.

Into this new temple in the year of l9I7 moved a tribe of Freshmen-brilliant, bold and powerful. The chief of this tribe was Edward Stemen with Miss Platt as head counseller and assisted by Alice Hayes, Lucile Stevens and Donald Wilson. Teachers marveled at the ability of this tribe and made great prophecies for its future. The older tribes trembled and feared they would lose their -position of prominence and leadership. They wisely decided to abolish customary persecutions and pay them homage. It is told that an athlete from their athletic clan showed un- usual ability on the girl's basketball team. Most notable of their social events was a lawn festival celebrating the close of a successful season and the re- naming of the tribe to Sophomore, All these things having been done and their fame spread aborad throughout the state, the tribe dissolved into clans for the summer. At the coming of the next fall the various clans once more assembled, although with slightly thinned ranks and moved again into this temple to gain the knowledge for which they craved UD. No longer despised, but now almost acknowledged leaders of all the tribes QD, they met together within the temple and planned the year's conquest. Lucile Stevens was chosen as the new counsellor. The athletic clans developed rapidly and promised great things for the succeeding season. Although a plague ravished the country the social events took place in the usual manner. As the summer season drew near the tribe again scattered, only to re-assamble later to win new glories, conquer the impossible fLatin, English, Geometry, and spread their renown into the few borders where it had not yet been heard. Thus ended the second year of this tribe. -D. W. 'ZI n aw, ,J a 14 nv- -sf 4 1f25hIII2It w s I K . , ' f 1 1 r. ,W KJ I In J A V A n w. 1 ' ' m I ' 4 4 1 ,,, 1 ,.

O. H. S., Like a thunderbolt out of a clear, blue sky, Descended a horde in their early teens, Who had just dropped in from Junior High. Yes, the Freshmen were they, you've guessed it right, And they truly belong to the Red Oak High zone, For the boys were initiated by green mustaches, But the ladies were left very strictly alone. So, as the infants branched out on their new career They soon of a party could proudly boast, To be strictly corect they now have had two, But one, it was only a wienie roast. And now, if you'll listen, We'd please like to show you, Somewhat of the record of this- our class, As our pimctuality is ninety-nine per cent We're there on the dot, every laddie and lass. Ninety-seven per cent have bees present each day, And all of our grades average ninety-two, But next year we're going to make them still higher, For we think that practice makes perfect, don' Although with a lack of good training before them, Our boys are now raising a basketball team, And by the time they are Seniors, you'll see, They'll stand very high in the High School esteem. t you3 ' ' fv zr'i.i?w-, TSLz.

There was no ncrabbingn on our team and every man worked for the good of R. O. H. S. The Red Oak fellows met no team which could face the fire of her backfield on smash or end rung her ends could always be depended on for good gains and when her line began moving they mowed their opponents down like grass. With such a line and back field Red 'Oak was sure to gain. On the defense the team was equally as strong, as is indicated by the score. During the whole season only one touchdown, a drop kick, and a touchback were made against us, a total of IZ points. Red Oak scored l I0 points-some record we c laim. Very few long gains were made by our opponents and should they be lucky enough to find themselves near the goal, Red Oak buckled down so tight that it was nearly impossible to cross her goal. Thinking of last year, the boys feel that that losing year was only for the good of the team this year, as we had seven old men back, and experience fespecially bitter experience counts in football. ' Our quarterback, Captain F oust, was an untiring, steady little fighter. He always kept his head and lead the team in a manner worthy of praise. The backfields, Dennis, Morgan and Thompson, were always on the jobg all were good tacklers and could hit the line like a ton of brickf, Dennis undoubtedly was the star for Red Oak. He scored a good many of the touchdowns and was the best tackler on the team. He and Meyer received honorable mention for the All-State team this year. Turner and Halbert played the end positions and whenever a team tried an end run, these ends were always in the midst of their interference and after the man. They were also good on advancing the ball. The tacklers, Askey and Corbin, were two of the scrappiest and huskiest fellows on the team. No team gained through them and whenever their signal was called they always had a hole open for the man. Horse Meyer and Stub Shires held the guard positions. These two huskies had no trouble with any team that they met. Bartlett played the game at centerg he was always sure of his passes and was good on the defense. T H.

Meyer came out for this game and so strengthened the line considerable. Red Oak scored a touchdown early in the first quarter but was held to this one score for the first half. In the second half Red Oak kicked off, picked up a fumble and scored a touchdown. This was a kind of heart-breaker for Clarinda but she kept up her pep. In the fourth quarter Red Oak scored another touchdown. The game ended With Red Oak victors by a score of Zl-0. RED OAK 0-VILLISCA 5 In the next game Red Oak met her only defeat of the season. The boys were in rather low spirits as the regular quarterback, Captain F oust, was taken ill the night before the game and Red Oak was forced to use a new and inexperienced quarterback. But they went on the gridiron with the intentions of fighting. V Woodard played quarterback, worked good, but the backs were unable to become accustomed to a change in quarterback on such a short notice. Nevertheless the team so that the game proved to be one of the best ever played in Red Oak. Both teams tried end runs, smashes, forward passes and fakes, but it was to no avail, in the end they were forced to punt. The first half ended 0-0 with the ball in the middle of the field. The second half proved to be one with luck against R. O. H. S. In the third quarter when Red Oak was driven down almost to the goal, Villisca scored a touchback. Red Oak took the ball twenty yards out and fought desperately but were unable to score. Again in the fourth quarter Villisca made a drop kick. The Red Oak fellow now began to show new vigor but although they did begin to make more gains and to hold Villisca more tightly it was too late to score a touchdown. The game ended 5-0 in favor of Villisca. RED OAK 43-SHENANDOAH 0 . The name, Shenandoah, put no fear in the hearts of the Red Oak war- riors this year, for the first time within our memory Red Oak defeated Shen- andoah. The game was fast on the part of Red Oak. From the first Red 54 M g THE g g g Oak began scoring and continued to do so until the final whistle blew. The score at the end of the game was 43-0 in favor of R. O. H. S. RED OAK-ATLANTIC 0 Another of Red Oak's old rivals was an easy viclim this year. On the day of the peace celebration Atlantic came to Red Oak. The game as a whole was rather slow, Red Oak was by no means in her prime. She fumbled often and did some poor tackling, but nevertheless defeated Atlantic by a score of 26-0. RED OAK 20-ESSEX 7 Red Oak played her first game this year with Essex. The team was weak as we had live inexperienced men in the line and our guards, Meyer and Shires, were not in the lineup. Nevertheless the fellows showed a Hght that Won the title for Red Oak. In the first quarter Essex rather ran Red Oak off her feet and before the team realized what was happening Essex had scored a touchdown. This touchdown was just what Red Oak needed. When the Red Oak captain announced that we would receive, the boys ground their teeth and took their places to receive, the whistle blew and Red Oak was off to win the South- western Iowa championship. From then on the game was all Red Oak's. Essex never again had a chance to score. In the second quarter Red Oak smashed the ball across the line and the hrst half ended 7-7. The second half was much easier for Red Oak. She had reached her stride and kept it from then on. By picking up a fumble and completing a forward pass Red Oak scored two more touchdowns. The game ended 20-7 in favor of Red Oak. -G. M. 'l9. THE PEP -rss BASKET-BALL Turner, cg Bartlett, If, Morgan, Igg Dennis, sub., Jackson rg, Woodard, rfg b S d C h Faust, Su .5 aun ers, one .

The fellows had the pep and drive all the time and every man fought with bull-dogged determination. The largest share of their success this year was due to the fact that the Red Oak fellows simply did not know when they were whipped. In many cases their fight brought them to the lead in score from what looked like sure defeat. Not only did they have the fight, but they had a good eye for baskets, close guards and World's of speed. And what counts more than anything for the success of a team, Red Oak used team work. There was no individual starring but every fellow worked for R. O. H. S. Captain, Bartlett was the best scorer for the team. He was especially good at long shots. Bartlett made a good man to lead the team, he being a hard worker and full of pep all of the time. Woodard played a good game at forward. Although Woodie was small he always succeeded in caging his share of the baskets. He showed up especially good in the Tabor game. Turner held the center positicn, he was Red Oak's mainstay. Tumer always succeeded in shooting two or three baskets and he outjumped every other man he played against. He was a good man for using team work. The guards were Jackson and Morgan. They were very close guards full of pep. Jackson was good at keeping his man from scoring more than one or two baskets. Morgan played the floor well. Dennis and Faust were two good subs that could be depended upon to take a part in the game and keep up the pep. The first game was played with Shenandoah, the game was rather slow, there being many technical fouls, neither team having played a game this year before. Red Oak won by a score of 34-27. The next game was at Clarinda. The Clarinda fellows were itching to win and avenge their defeat in footfall, but after a good, hard, clean game Red Oak defeated them by a score of 32-26. The first game played on the home floor was with Villisca. Villisca had defeated Clarinda also and several other neighboring teams and so were pretty proud of themselves. They started the game with a little football inter- mingled but soon learned that it did not pay. The Red Oak boys, by playing a good, clean, scrapping game defeated them, although the Red Oak team was not in her best working condition. The score was 24-l8. We played Shenandoah a return game the next week. This was a good fast game. Both teams made baskets from diflicult positions on the Hoor. But again Red Oakis pep and team work made R. O. H. S. victorious. The score was 37-I9. In the next game Red Ook met her first defeat. Tabor displayed a good football team and walked on us to the tune of 24-I5. The following Friday we again took Clarinda into camp. The fellows 'f if'mr2wsf-1-1rg1rw- THE PEP 57 were in good shape and worked good. The game was fast and clean on the part of both teams. But Red Oak gradually worked up a greater share of points. The game ended with the score reading 33-Z0 in our favor. In order to schedule a game with Council Bluffs we found it necessary to play them the next day after the Clarinda game. The boys were in a poor condition to play but went up with the intention of winning. Well, our intentions were good but Council Bluffs won by a score of 43-I3. The next game was with Tabor at home. Red Oak was so very des- perate with wishes to win that they went into the air and Tabor at first scored the greater share of points. The first half ended I2-I0 in favor of Tabor. But in the second half Red Oak suddenly woke up and turned the score to 30-Zl in favor of R. O. H. S. In the next game was one of the closest and hardest fought games ever played at Red Oak. Council Bluffs came to Red Oak with the intentions of doubling their previous score. Well they did win, but they certainly were forced to earn it. The first half of the game ended I0-8 in favor of C. B. In the second half the score read 9-8 in favor of Red Oak, but this was not sufficient to bring the score in favor of Red Oak. The game ended with C. B. victor by a score of l9-20. The last game of the season with the exception of the tournament was played with Emerson. This game was slow, but Red Oak soon took the lead and won by a score of 38-19. The night after playing at Tabor the fellows journeyedgto Emerson to play a game. The game was decidedly in our favor. The score was 43-Zl. TOURNAMENT At the tournament the fellows did not have their usual pep and drive to them. The first game there was played with Bussey. V Had the fellows played their usual game of basketball they could easily have defeated them, but as it was Red Oak only won by a score of I8-IZ. The second game was with Albia. In the first half Red Oak played rotten, it ended I4-8 in favor of Albia. In the second half Red Oak showed much better form, but too late to overcome them. The game ended 23-3 in favor of Albia. --G. M.

The first game of the season took place January 24, when the Villisca girls with high hopes, met our team on Red Oalis Hoor. It was a close game, each team hoping to win, but our girls carried off the victory 9-6. H The next game took place at Emerson, February Sth. The girls met on a 2x4 floor in the town hall, our team expecting defeat, but victory was again ours 7-4. The twenty-sixth of February the team left for Clarinda with the hopes of scoring there as in previous games. Our hopes were soon lost for Clarinda carried' off the score 22-5. The next game brought us revenge. Emerson had changed their lineup with the expectation of winning the game. We left the floor with all the points made by our team. Score I I-0. -I. N.

Jessie May Cloud, our tall center, is a Freshman of whom we were very very proud and we hope she will be on the team for successive years. Bessie O'Rourke, a Senior, our side center, who has played that part lor two years, played a good game all season, and we are all sorry to lose her. Rhea Heberlee, guard, and Lorena Moore, forward, Seniors, have played good games. We regret very much to lose them from our team. lrene Neidermeyer, forward, and Mildred Lewis, guard, are Juniors and having played very good games we hope they will be on the team again next year. Mary Baker and Nova Woods, our substitutes played well in the games they took part in and we hope that they will make the first team next year. -l. N.

However, even in the face of these difficulties we iput across' one of the best Older Boys Conferences ever held in the state of Iowa, since the idea of High school conferences was originated. With Egbert Auman as president and a cabinet, mostly of the Senior class, the club was finally organized. However, at the very beginning of its proceedings school was closed. Not until the conference week was it again revived. Our hopes are high for the promotion of a much larger and better club next year. --F. R. 8: M. T. '19, ' Y' l V cies Club The organizations of the Cilee Clubs have always been an object of interest in High School work, but owing to the irregularity of this year this work has lost a great deal of its usual charm. Nevertheless, under the splendid supervision of Miss Rhinesberger and her untiring efforts, several most pleasing entertainments have been given in connection with the Declamatory Contests and also the Class Play. The Girls C-lee Club helped several entertainments to be a real success. The willful aid of the organization and their willingness to work brought about 51 success that was lruly meritous. Another branch of the organization, the Boys Cnlee Club, was also a success. However, it was not the numbers that counted here, for only eight boys formed the club. Even with this few, a good number of selections having been chosen, the fellows made a 'hit' from the start. At every performance they were at their best and their appearance was always greeted with applause. -I... M. 'I9. ez THE PEP Dramatic Club 1 For the last few years Public Speaking has held a prominent place in the activities in the High School, and several of our speakers have won honors both in the home contests and different sub-district contests. One, Ora Rush, being successful enough to reach the state contest. But this year a new phase of this work has been taken up, namely, that of Dramatic Arts. A club of about thirty members was formed under the instruction of Miss Hiller and the study taken up, included voice, gestures, pantomime, stage positions and plays. The work has been quite successful and two pleasing entertainments were presented to the public. The first two farces, Dr, Cureallf' and The Fortunes of War. Later, in the continuation of this work, two other farces, The Mouse Trapf' and A Case of Suspension were presented and met with great approval. This line of study has proved intensely interesting and as it appeals to the average student it is to be hoped that Dramatic Arts will become perma- nently incorporated in the course of study of this High School. -L. M. '19, iv- PM Speakmg in This branch of activity has been quite well contested this year among the students of R. O. l-l. S. Several very interesting programs have been given, which were all hard fought battles. The first contest was given with only the judges as an audience. Cwing to the Nfiun quarantine it was impossible to have a public appearance of these speakers. l-lowever, the best were heard at the finals. At the end of the year, four contests having been stayed, the winners were chosen as follows, for the finals: Gratorical--Martin Tonner, Lester Shires, Paul Coombs. Dramatic-Judith Nelson, Ruth McClure, Mary Pilkington. Humorous-Genevieve Swenson, Donald Woodard, Fred Replogle. As final winners: Martin Tonner, oratoricalg Ruth McClure, dramatic and Genevieve Swenson, humorous. At the sub-district contest Ruth McClure lost by only a narrow margin. At the Tabor contest held annually Genevieve Swenson won second over all. Under Miss l-lillers splendid leadership the year was pronounced a real success. -L. M. 'l9. THE PEP 63 Athletic Association As usual the Athletic Association was organized by Principal Mull. At the business meeting Fred Replogle was made presidentg Francis Kidder, vice president and Bessie O'Rourke, secretary-treasurer. The organization proved to be a success, especially financially. Debts contracted the previous year were paid off and the association now has no further indebtedness. Much of the credit is due to the fact that our games, being played on our own gymn Hoor, the expense of former years of renting the armory was eliminated. Hopes are high for the building up of an even greater organization in following years. Girls' Athletic Association The officers of the Girls Athletic Association for l9l9 were: Irene Niedermeyer, presidentg Beth Imrie, vice presidentg Judith Chase, secretaryg Viola Replogle, treasurer. The girls of R. O. H. S. organized an association for girls exclusively. At a mass meeting held in the auditorium the president and vice president were elected. Later there was a rally in the gymnasium and the secretary and treasurer were elected and the girls signed up for activities. There are four activities-tennis, hiking, volley ball and basketball. The lots for the tennis courts were speedily prepared and the hiking with Katherine Thomas was voted a success by all the girls. The girls expect to make this association a success and from present aspects a bright future is in store for the association. -I. N. '20. THE PEP 55 The Alumni I Altogether, three cheers for the glorious members of the Alumni from R. O. H. S. The class of 'I9, seventy strong, will soon be a member of this throng. Many of the Alumni gave their services to the colors, some never to return, but to be remembered by stars of gold and their heroic deeds. The classes of 'I 7 and 'I8 were known as two of the best classes fnext to oursl that ever trod the halls of R. O. H. S. The class of 'I 7 was the largest and last class to graduate from the old High School, now Junior High. The class of 'I8 was known as the first and foremost in brilliancy to graduate from the new High School. Many are the woes and joys of these two classes, but not being a member of either I shall let you hear a representative from each class. These people will try to depict the trials and tribulations of their respective classes. Hurrah for the Alumni from 'I9. -B. O. Who, who, who are we, We, we, we are the Class of 'I 7 Can't you see? HISTORY CLASS OF 'I7 Come let us forget our troubles and go back for a little while to our good old school days, and they were good old days, too, the days of worry and anxiety that we caused our teachers. After the classes were o'er we could see them gathered together talking real earnestly, wondering if we would ever in this world manage to graduate. I am sure they never will unless they get down to good, hard work, we heard them say to one another. In I9I3 when we were Freshmen, they fthe powers that be , did not quite think that we knew how to conduct ourselves with class officers. They said we would enjoy it better when we were Sophomores. Of course, we didn't like it very well but since it came from the All Powerfulsu we had to make the best of it. Mis Hazel Draves very kindly consented to be our advisor. We got along very well without any oflicers but were real glad when we became Sophomores and could consider ourselves old and wise enough for them. During this year our colors were the good old Red, White and Blue. We had several picnics and parties during this year, but we were not onto the ways of the world enough to be real bad children. In the Sophomore year we were granted the privilege to have officers after quite a heated debate as to whom we should have. We finally decided 66 A THE PEP on Max Kerrihard, president, Glen Danbom, vice president, Oliver Reiley, secretary and treasurer and Miss Thompson, class advisor. Everything was lovely this year except when some of the boys took it upon themselves to paint the sidewalks in our class colors fpink and greenl. This did not please the Powers that be, so our class rights were taken away from us until we could prove ourselves worthy to have them back again. It was in our Junior year that the excitement began. This year our oflicers were: Virgil Woods, president, Paul Denlinger, vice pesidentg Ed- ward Smith, secretary and treasurer. Miss Arends was chosen as our class advisor. The most notable events of this year were our sneak picnic, Junior- Senior reception and the Teachers reception. The sneak picnic was held at Porter's Lake. The Junior-Senior reception at the Johnson Hotel and the Teachers reception at the Masonic Hall. Not one of the refershment committee will ever forget the Teachers Re- ception. After the supper when the tables were cleared away some of us took it into our heads to trip the light fantastic toe. We started, but were very kindly asked to cease. The faculty seemed to like our presence so well that they thought we couldn't possibly do the dishes alone. However, as we were so slow in doing them they were afraid they would lose their beauty sleep and decided to go to their homes. All we have to say on this subject is, can Paul Olson play the piano? In our Senior year Gladys Morgan was president, F ay Foster, vice presi- dentg Welch Pogue, secretary and treasurer, Miss Carnes, class advisor. We gave the class plays, The Fortune Hunter, The Pot of Rouge, fwritten by Elizabeth B. Canadayj and The Gentle Jury. The Wreck of the Hesperusf' was given by the High School Glee Club, of whom a great many were from the class of il 7. Out of a class of thirty boys, twenty-five of them are in the service. Three gold stars for Marion Campbell, Paul Denlinger and George Hawkins, who paid the supreme sacrifice. The rest of us are still striving toward the goal of life with a winning spirit. -Grace Hewitt 'l7. CLASS OF 1918 The class of l9l8 started on its illustrious career in the old High School in the year of l9l5, with over one hundred members. Oh! the grief and worries of that first day. We had no schedules. About II o'clock Super- intendent lnman took pity on us and called us together in one corner of the assembly room and explained the High School regime. The other classes were dismissed at noon, but we stayed on and on, and when we finally had our schedules made out as nearly correct as possible we were dismissed at Z o'clock, and such poor, tired, forlorn, discouraged Freshmen we were. However, we soon became acquainted with the daily curriculum and a few weeks later had a class meeting electing the following officers: Miss Draves, ggggwigg ggqgggggg 'ILH E P E P 67 class advisor, Harley Fife, president, John Telfer, vice president and Evan- geline Driver, secretary and treasurer. We also chose green and white as our class colors. . . In our Sophomore year we appointed the following officers: Miss Eliza- beth Canaday, class advisorg Glen Willis, presiclentg Ora Rush, vice presi- dent, and Julia Hysham, secretary and treasurer. Shortly after Christmas the class suffered a great loss by the sudden illness and death of our president, Glen Willis. He was one of the most brilliant and well liked boys in High School and his loss was keenly felt, not only by our class, but by the whole High School. The class as a group attended the funeral services held at the Methodist church. Ora Rush succeeded him as president. We also have many pleasant memories of this year of our wienie roast at Riverside Parkg our party at Bernice Allen'sg our picnic at Hawkins Park, and our parties at the High School. As Juniors, we elected the following officers: Julia Hysham, president, Clayton Norris, vice president, Vaughn Woodard, secretary and treasurer and Miss Canaday, class advisor. Who is ever going to forget the jolly, good limes we had at our bobsled party, with hot oysters afterwards, at Helen Mclntyre'sg our Christmas party with Christmas tree and gifts at Cochrane'sg our sneak party at Porter's Lake, Coveralls and pigtail day,D and our Junior- Senior reception, which was one of the most successful ever held, at the John- son House. Ah! The Days of Real Sport. ln the fall of 1917 we had attained the honor of being dignified Seniors, but we still giggled as much as ever fask the teachersb. Our class officers this year were Miss Cames, class advisor, Ora Rush, presidentg Rheuben Dixon, vice president and Clayton Norris, secretary and treasurer. We pre- sented a Lyceum Course for the purpose of raising funds for purchasing cur- tains and scenes for the stage. I am sure every member of the class of 'I8 will long remember the good times we had at our paray at l..inder'sg our sneak picnicg our class picnic at Stover's groveg our teacher's receptiong Junior- Senior receptiong the teachers reception at McConnell's, and our last party at Hysham's. We had the honor of being the first class to graduate from the new High School. We gave two plays entitled It Pays to Advertise and The Quest of Happiness. The baccalaureate service was held at the Methodist church, May 26, l9l8, the Rev. A. McKenzie delivering the sermon. Twelve of our boys were in the service of their country. Robert Reed, who made the supreme sacrifice, july I5, l9l8, while fighting for his country on the Champagne front at Suippesg John Telfer, wounded twice, who saw service in France at Rheims, on the Champagne front, Chateau Thierry, Meuse-Argonne offensive, Alvin Johnson, who saw service on the same fronts as Johng james Telfer and Denzil Smith, who enlisted in the navy and were in France five days, Franlf. Hartshorn of the coast artilleryg Howard Sheets, 68 THE PEP corporal in aviation, who was in the service eight monthsg Glen Stafford, Clay- ton Norris, Lewis Pettit, Vaughn Woodard and Lyman Wilson, who were in S.
