M,, when he isn't issuing dire edicts from the office, which make the cheeks of many blush and the hands to tremble, is dealing out large doses of History, Civics and Pedagogy to eager Juniors and Seniors. He is an ardent basket ball fan and an enthusiastic spectator of all class contests: it was then quite a shock to some to learn that he missed one of these games to take a walk with his grand- son. A most able assistant to Professor Smith at the helm of this great institution is Mrs. Smith, A. M., for her hand is steady and her conscience strongg but she is only human for she too, like Professor Smith, has a terrible weakness for a certain little fellow, who babbles sounds, perfectly unintelligible to others, but it is not trouble for the fond grandmothers ears to detect her favorite declension of bonus-a-um. At present Miss Hull, B. Ped., deserves all our sympathy, for just now she is greatly agitated and assailed by many doubts, for being an ardent suffragette, not a la English, however, she can't decide whether duty calls her more strongly to continue to grade freshmen themes or to run for office. ' Professor A. iS, Hull, A. B. is quietly happy when working in his physics labor- atory, but no words can describe his pleasure, when, surrounded by this agriculture class, he is teaching them to milk imaginary cows, to separate imaginary milk, and, on account of the present date of affairs as to weather, to plant imaginary gardens. A great calamity would it be, greater even than the flood, were the school to be deprived of the jovial presence of Professor Drake, B, S., M.Accts. The faculty would lose its equilibriumg that smile, which at chapel covers his face and that of Pro- fessor Hull's too, would be missedg the Business Department would take on mourningg the sun would sease to shine and darkness would hide the earth. Violetta Garrett, A. B., is quite proud of the fact that she has been really and truly sea-sick, but thinks it very queer, what an attraction the deep has for what one eats. Although she enjoyed her sea voyage, she feels far more certain of herself, she says, on terra firnta in Dutch Vcreinf' A skillful penman and an orator as well is Professor Hanusam, 'M. Aocts, M. Pen. His chapel speeches are very interesting and cover a wide range of thought, but Mr. Hausam has decided never to take up again any line of talk, which might lead him. inadvertently to mention Socialism.,' Then members of the French class and of English Ill, say that it is not true that red hair and a fierce temper are one and inseparable for Miss L'Heureux, A. B., never gets angry. She is always as calm and unruffled as the smooth waters of a placid lake-except when the wind blows! ' Miss Martindale, A. B., is usually busy teaching the girls various gymnastic stunts, but she always has time, to explain at length, to interested parties, the superior qualities of Kelly's Famous. She is also rather skillful with her left eye, undoubtedly due to gymnastic training. Mr. Streibich, A. B., used to be a preacher, but he has reformed and is at pres- ent engaged in making a collection of loving cups, with a talent for which, he seems to be especially endowed. One of the most necessary persons at R. C. H. S. is Miss Faubian, B. S., who teaches her classes to cook most excellent things. Her friends are just now quite con- cerned about her health, which has been in a state of decline, since the box supper at the city hall. Now the most disconcerning person on the whole faculty is Everett Bereman- he makes himself perfectly understood in his mathematics classes, but outside he is a perfect ---A-. For instance, he was known to have attended a girls' basket ball practice once or twice this winter, and each time on leaving was heard to mutter to him- self: Next time I'll sure break the ice. We don't understand. Mr. F. A. Mundell is the most accommodating man in school, always ready to lend a hand here or thereg 'He has however, one grave fault and that is, keeping his politics a secret We don't know why the students call Mr. G. W. Pulliam, George Washingtonuz surely not because of any striking resemblance to the father of his country. It may be because of his initials or more likely because of his tenacious adherence to what he thinks is right. One of the most popular places in school is the music room, from which at any time of day issue sounds, musical and otherwise. To the sounds musical we give due credit to Miss Eastman, but for the sounds otherwise-well Earl Ragland might be responsible. The librarian, Vera Osborne, is a most inspiring person, ruling the study room, with a hand of iron. The timid freshmen tread softly before her desk, the bolder sopho- mores sink behind it, the obstreperous juniors avoid it and the dignified seniors re- spect it. . Now there's many a toast we'd like to say If We could only think it, So fill your glass with slparkling Wine ' And to the Faculty, drink it. QOLLEGE GLASS ETHEL STE VEN5 CF? QHLMA RIGHHART GD PA ULINE ABERNETHY CFD ETHEL RIGHHART , ,.,....-Q..,,s ..X gf GLASS H LS' TOR Y ln the fall of 1909, there came to R. C. H. S. an enthusiastic bunch of .lay- hawkers. True, there was no ringing of bells, no grand music, nor boisterous uproar, but these Freshies had gathered, quietly from their various homes, for one purpose, to gain an education. ln all there was a 'there-for-business air, which could not be mis- taken. Now, we have risen to the dignity which befits the Seniors. We know this is the largest, most handsome, athletic, intelligent, musical and evenly matched class ever graduated from R. C. H. S.-So why shouldn't we be dignified? ln our Freshman year, we did not organize, but in our second year We dis- covered that we must all hang together or we shall assuredly hang separately. So we organized, and since, we have realized our strength. VVe showed our good taste, at the very first, in the Sophomore year, when we elected the officers. VVe couldn't have chosen a president, so well informed on Robert's Rules of Order, a vice president so willing and ready to step into the presidentis shoes, thad they been large enoughl, a secretary that could have written such detailed accounts of--Y Uwho came riding by, etc., and we know that no other member of the class 'could have taken more delight in dropping the pennies in to the pig bank than does our treasurer. Again we showed good taste in changing colors with every change of the moon, for Ha wise man changes his mind, a fool never. VVe are especially prominent in athletics. Among those connected with the very decisive athletic victories of R. C. H. S., there are more senior names than there have been in any other class ever connected with the history of the school. ln our Junior year, the boys' champion basket ball team of Kansas was entirely composed of Juniors and we were fairly represented in the girls' team, which took the state championship. Two members of the boys' team, Ralph Shamhart and Hilmer Appel, received honorable mention from K. U., for their ability as -basket ball players in 1911-123 and Bill McFar- fland was picked for All-Kansas Guard in 1912-13. Gladys Drake and Maude Frisch were picked for the All-Kansas team for two years. We have had a very good representation in the teams-football, base ball and track, as well as basket ball. In Y. VV. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. too, we have made a mark. Not only do we have three presidents of these associations, but we have sixteen cabinet members in our class, two Cascade delegates, and a number of delegates to the conventions at Hutchinson, Em- poria, Pittsburg, VVichita and Manhattan. ln musical ability, our class is unsurpassed. We have two music graduates, Zella Kirkhuff and Earl Ragland, and a number of others who can exercise their abilities on the piano. Then too, we have three members who took prominent parts in our High !Schoo1 orchestra, and eleven were members of the Glee Club. But athletics, music, Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. work and Dutch Verein' have not had all the attention of the Seniors. - Nve believe in having a good time occasionally. The delightful stroll on a moonlight night, and the marshmallow toast by the river, as well as the Junior-Senior party, 1912, and the party given in return by the girls, are long to be remembered by all of us. We have fairly begun our good times and the seventh of June will find us with a still longer chain of golden and gray memories of old R. C. H. S. As we come to the end of our High School days, And sit alone with our thoughts, Then over us comes a sadness, Thro' the joys that the years have bro't, XVhen we 'think of the friends who are parting, Of the days that are fleeting fast, May our thoughts of the future be brighter, Ever brighter than those of t-he past. FLOYD SNOOK- SNOOKIE. Ile makes quick use of the moments. Class president. Y. M. C. A. President of l9l2-'l3. Basketball: Commercial team l9l2-'l3. Class team l9ll-'l3. Member of editorial staff of Annual. Floyd, Apollo Ulod of wisdoml of our class, is a most resolute, energetic, original, idealistic and independent creature: he is a human thinking machine, and when he throws in the high speed clutch the air is filled with sawdust for miles around. He doesn't know what he will do after gradua- tion but we are' quite sure he will be able to do someone. CH LOE MCNAM EE. A sunny temper gilds the eyes of life's blacfkest clouds. Y. XV. C. A. Cabinet. Basket ball l908-'OSL Member of editorial staff. ln spite of all Chloe's ponderous duties. this sunny child of delight has time to devote to the study of nature. She takes ntuch pleasure in going to the Woods, and is always dreaming of the days when she will have a timber claim of her own. Never was there a lassie sc devoted to the pen, and the letters and pio- tures received are earried for book marks until the next arrive. Chloe's intentions are to teach school next year, but we some- times wonder. HILMAR APPEL- DUTCH. He has a temper, all right in a way, But when it gets out, the deuce is to pay. Vice-President of class. Y. M. C. A. President of 19ll l2. Forward on championship basketball team three years. Member of Editorial staff. Our Ulysses itravelerj has been captain of almost every athletic organization in school at one time or another, except the girls' basket ball teamg and he might have had that job, had he been a candidate for it in his Senior year. His motto is XVork while you work and play while you play,' and Hilmar usually lives up to it. HARRIET NAFZINGER- HATTIE. Sweet Sixteen. Is she not niore than painting can express, Or youthful pocts fancy when they love? Hattie, thc 'iVenus fgoddess oi' beautyj of the class is outwardly quiet, but you do not all know her. She has a keen sense of humor, is a source of worry to some of the boys as well as her teachers, and is a chronic cut-up. She is also the envy and wonder of some other Seniors for she has successfully combined 'E grades and loafing. She is very composed 'tllistress of herself the china fall. There is an old saying that her face is her fortune, so here's to Har- riet. EARL RAGLAND-HSLIMJ' 'tGifted With abilities none can surpass, ln nmsic, and with girls, but in studies, alas! Music graduate 1911, R. C. H, S. orchestra 1910-'12, Pianist at th-e school and at the t'Gem.'l Member of the Dutch Verein. School critic on girls' clothes. Earl is the best groomed man in the whole Senior class. His rose-bud nails are a source of envy to all the girls. He is also an excellent musician, a Physics shark and knows more 'gossip than any three girls in school. Earl is undoubtedly popular-just does make up his mind on one girl, when here comes another and then-U0 dear, what shall I do? ZELLA KIRKHUFF- DllVlPLES. Bears malice toward none, envies not oneg 'What more could you ask under the bright shining sun? Glee Club 1910-'ll. Double Quartette and Orchestra 1911-'12. Music graduate 1912. School pianist. Zella, our Calliope is a happy, enthus- iastic, good-natured, loveble, all-around girl. She is a mixture of the graceful athletic and vivacious society girl. A few of Zella's specialties are singing in Physics laboratory, dreaming of her Junior year, writing letters to K. U., and attending a play. I hear a voice you cannot hearg XVhich says I must not stay, l see a hand you cannot see, XVhich beckons me away, tto the Hills. l P . . LEON GIBBENS- GIBBY. 'tEVery attic has its own rubbish. Baseball 1910-'l3, Football 1912-'l3. Sub. forward on championship basket ball team 191 1313. Family pet. Leon is o11e of those resolute, determined fellows who always and gener- ally has his own way. He always knows and tells all the latest gossip and anything else you want to know. He is well known to the Seniors as a baritone vocalist. GLADYS DRAKE- CU RLY. She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with. And pleasant, too, to think on. Basket ball four years. Glee Club IEll0- 'll. Humorous, talented. original, fluent, pop- ular and energetic. Gladys is another of our Latin sharks. She is also good in his- tory, although th-ere was a time when she had trouble in keeping her dates straight. She is very' fond of chewing gum and pulling hair, so has made her mark in the athletic field and helped Win many laurels for R. C. H. S. XVe're not sure about Gladys' future, but from all indications she will some day make some farmer happy with her smiling fare and curly- hair.

'fSome say she's a peach, the best you will find, She's neat, charming, friendly when she don't speak her mind. Edith, our cook, is skillful in making doughnuts and coffeefask the Commercials if she isn't. She has a great amount of sticktoitivenessi-falways takes the same route to school.J In her earlier days she had aspirations to become an assistant newspaper reporter, but now she prefers to live, a professor's 'ffrauf' HERSAL CH RISLIP- JAKE, Had sighed to many though he loved but one. Y. M. C, A. Cabinet three years. Mem- ber of R. C. H. S. orchestrag R. C. H. S. bandg the Glee Club 1910-'ll. Member of editorial staff. l-lersal is slow, deliberate, willful and obliging if found in the right mood. It also can be said of Hersal, that he is economical, for he saves all his pennies for his weekly trip to Abbyville. He says when he's married he will not go to his own wed- ding on a motor cycle-there's a reason. LAURA SMITH. 'tDignified and cold when she wants to be, But then she's changeable. Don't you see? Y. NV. C. A. Cabinet. Obstinate, inquisitive, changeable, very agreeable and apparently always happy. Laura is not only a Latin shark but also a geometry expert. She is the constant com- panion of her little sister. She would pro- bably have made a better record in school if she had only cut out some of her dates. LEWIS HULL. From little sparks may burst a mighty flame. Class treasurer, Editor-in-chief of Annual. Lewis is the baby of the class-according to age. v He is a deep thinker and a good student, but is so very busy as Editor-in-chief of the Annual that he scarcely has time to get his lessons before eight o'clock any more. Some day we expect him to bee-well, nothing less than U. S. President. HAZEL HIETT- LENGTHY. 'tQuiet? Very. Busy, 0 my! But you look twice to see her, For she's not very high. Secretary of class. Timid, reserved, happy, enthusiastic and loveable is she. Yes, she is all these though our little blushing maiden is small. So small indeed, that she actually measures four feet, eleven and three-fourth inches, in her gym shoes. Hazel is one of the brightest students of the class-especially so when it comes 10 studying Milton's Paradise Regainedf' STANLEY H I LL- STAN. Big all over just like a man, A regular tease is boy Stanf Sometimes laughing, always attempting to provoke someone is this little boy, who if he had a better understanding could hold the whole world on his shoulders. Stanley is a most devoted lad-why in his four years he has gone with but one girl. This is more than can be said of any other senior. NIABEL GRIFFIN. It you are angry, count ten before you speakg it very angry, count one-hundred. Guard on girls' Championship Basket Ball team 1910-'13. Mabel is a most resolute, determined, diligent, argumentative, yet Cheerful, frank, good-natured and generous class mate. She is a Very good student-always has the air of please do not disturb me, and is a regular 'tphysieal torture shark. One thing still remains a mystery to all of us and that is, why did Mabel put up such a brave fight to go to the tournament at K. U. this year? RALPH SHAMHART- SHAIVI 'ALIPJ' 'tl study when I feel like it and don't when I don't, l'll pass if I can, and if l can't-l'll blow thro'. Base ball three years, Basket ball three years. Football 1912-'13. Our Ae0lus fgod of Windj, is one of the best natured, obliging and happyego-lucky chaps we ever knew. Probably this is be- cause he is accustomed to such good eating, for he can be seen at the city bakery at al- most any time. Ralph is what on-e might term a 'tladies' man and although his heart is sham, he never neglects his best girl. MAUDE FRISCH- lYlUTZ. None knew her but to love her. Forward on R. C. H. S. Basket Ball team 1912-'13, Senior team 1912-13. Cascade delegate 1911. Mutz is a jolly, good natured, industrious, and sincere little girl, even if her heart is all sham. She is one of our athletes and is also the smallest girl in the class. Laughing, teasing, joking, Out through her course she goes, Each morn she sees Lip's task begun, Each evening sees it close. DONALD YOUNKIN. And still the wonder grew that one small head could Carry all he knew. Track '10-'13. Old Sovrates is surely going to make the mark for the class of 'l3. VVe know there was never such a philosophical and psy- c-hologieal being graduated from R. C, H. S. as this Donald John Younkin. He never has gone with a girl, but he came mighty near it onre. He says he will never go to Sterling again, anyway when its leap year. ESTHER DADE. Y. VV. C. A. lflll-'13, Basket Ball 1911-'l'Z Nut brown maiden, thou hast a winning way. - Esther is quiet and demure, studious, re- served, athletic and friendly. She is extremely good in athletics and has also distinguished herself in Hbronco- busting stunts at the Y. XV. circus. The great part of l'Zsther's interests has gone on before, but we think she will overtake that part when she goes to K. U. ALVAH LYNN. The man that blushes is not quite a brute. Alvah is undoubtedly the nicebst boy of the whole class. He is quiet, industrious, and up in his studies most of the time. Once in a while not, but that is no crime. He is very bashful, maybe that is the reason he d0esn't have a girl. 7' 4 BESSIE BEREMAN. Member of Y. W. C. A. cabinet 1912-'13, None but hers-elf can equal her. Bessie is the youngest girl in the Senior class, is quiet, but determined and self- satisfied. She has a fondness for languages and music. Being disappointed in her Freshman year, Bessie's big brother has been her companion ever since. fAsk our presidentl DON VVARNER. Seldom he smilesg and smiles in such a sort, As if he mocked himself and scorned his spirit, That could be moved to smile at anything. Track team 191 0313. Don. our Phidippides Crunnerj is un- doubtedly the ntost thoughtful, easy going, diligent and orderly boy we Could imagine, He is interested in mathematics, but still more in electricity. Only for one purpose do we ever see him raise his eyes above an angle of forty-five degrees, that is when he watches 'the graceful movements of the class flower. GRACE KARR. Her face, the great eye of heaven, shone bright, and made sunshine in the shady place. Grace is a genuine Kansas girl, brisk as a Kansas breeze, hardy as a Kansas sun- flower, hair as black as its center and face as sunny as its petals. She is a good stud- ent, doesn't visit the rest room very often, and always takes her books even to gym class and chapel with her. , Two or three times last leap year Grace almost plucked up courage, but every time 'tbig brother came home. CHARLES REHM- SCRATCH. As Mary as the day is long. Y. M. C. A. cabinet 1911-'12, Basket ball 1910-'l3. Foot ball 19l2-'l3. How jolly and good natured, yet resolute and determined is this Charles, our athletic aeniusl in this particular line, none but himself can be his parallel. For a long time he was a noted spf.lx'tsnian. He spent hour after hour at this pastime and finally sttcwedecl in capturing only one duck -and it got away. LETHA RICHHART. HA temper uneven and easily fired. A mind that is avtiveg a tongue never tired. Letha is energetic. soc,-lable, deter:-iinetl and svlf-satisfied. She is spasmoclically studious and very fond ol' music, both vocal and instrumental. Her batting average on the piano is about as near one thousand as they ever get, Letha is the only Senior that has made her t'debut -tat Huntsvillej WILLIAM NICHOLSON- BILL, 'ATO go about the world with a smile and a hearty laugh is to be a veritable miracle worker. Y. M. C. A. cabinet l9l2-'l3. Track 1910-'13. Billy, our brunette, has such beautiful raven locks, and they ar-e so wavy that they nearly make him seasicfk. He never smoked cornsilk cigarettes nor squashed any money on pink lemonade when a boy. ln fact the only things we know detrimental concerning his Character are frills. One day he actually bound his hair with a scarlet velvet ribbon, and wore a large red satin rose under his chin to set off his peachy and creamy complexion. JENNIE KIRKHUFF. Unconiplaining is she if things go wrong, She bears the world's knocks with a spirit of song. Y. NV. C. A. President l9l2-'l3. Cascade delegate 1912. Jennie is a. generous, jolly, impulsive friendly sort of a girl and always ready to boost for a good cause. During her career in R. C. H. S. she has taken part in almost everything from Athletics to German Verein. ln one way she is probably different from most girls, for her ambitions are to be nothing less than a queen. This, however is a secret, so don't tell anyone. FULTON DAVIDSON. Where my treasure is, there my heart is also? Y. M. C, A. cabinet l9llfl2. Base ball 1910-'l3. Basket ball R. C. H. S. team l.9ll-'l2. Commercial 1912-'l3. Fulton is a fine, frank, friendly, funny fellow. In. spite of his affiliation for the Juniors he still remains quite a faithful Senior. He has for the past three years studied the science of berries and has now introduced a New Berry that will some- day make him as famous as Burbank. RUTH STARK. VVomanly qualities here are seen, She'll shine in the future, shes not a has been. Y. W. C. A. cabinet. 1912-'13. RuthHSl1e is all her name indicates, gentle, true, tender hearted and charitable. ln her quiet manner she pursues her studies, and with the same degree of quietude, seeks out some secluded nook and there in the pages of a hook, tusually a love storyj wanders into the realms of a world un- known. Ruth says when she finishes her course, she intends to purchase with the remainder of her bank account, a parrot, a cat, and a canary bird, and spend the rest. of her days in peace. LLOYD BLAI NE- SAM M I E. 'Tis the voice of the sluggardg I heard him complain, 'You have waked me too soon, Let me slumber ugainf Basket ball team 1908-'l0. Lloyd is good na1ured fif you handle him rightl, obliging, energetic, mischievious, but is married.

Although the word Junior comes from a Latin word meaning younger, we are merely younger when compared with the high and mighty Seniors. Even the Freshmen, inexperienced and verdant though they be, have recognized in us the superior powers which make us one of the most important classes R. C. H. S. has ever produced. From the first our life at the said school, although there have been thorns among the roses, has been an inspiration to the teachers, students, and even the fresh- men. Of course the Sophomores, being dazzled by our glory and envious of our successes. have not appreciated our greatness. Even the Seniors have recognized us as their conting rivals. How, we ask, can we help but be admired? XVe who have been for the last three years the life and light of the school? Our religious and social organizations, as well as athletics have not been neglected. XVe have one member. our Vice president, who is the star forward on the girls' basket ball teamg also our most intelligent president is an experienced forward on the Commercial team. We boast not as much of the boys, they being very few, as of the girls. We re- gret to say the vaunt made last year concerning our immunity from Cupid's darts has been broken by many of the young and handsome lassies of our classg especially has this been true of a certain slender and dignified m-ember, who has not only niade the rounds with the Juniors, but has scattered her radiant smiles in the Comercial Department. These smiles of this gold-en haired maiden have been accepted by all of the handsome gentlemen of that department and the Sophomore class, excepting a few, and they do not need to worry, as their turn will come. This lady, we honor because we regard her as distantly related to our president of U1 S., or at least she claims the same nameg also we are proud to say one of our admired ladies is still remaining true to Reno's ntost noted student, the Senior president, class 1913. The teachers are admiring us and are astonished by our excellent work, which proves that we are very industrious. They now point to us and our successes as an example to the Sophoncores and Freshmen, and will probably do so for many years to come. Failing to recite is neither tolerated nor practiced in our class, unless our honored president forgets to give his lesson to our studious vice-president.

We believe in the exams and flunks of Mrs. Smith and in pulling weeds, husk- ing corn and delving in the earth while Prof. Hull sits in the laboratory windo-W working to get a patent on the Hull Single Row Cultivator. We believe in the saying of Prof. Bereman, There is no sympathy for a person who does not put in two hours. Geometry is no joke. We renounce the Freshies, undeserving pupils of a good school, and the Juniors and all their works. We believe in the wisdom of the Seniors but the greatest of all in the Sopho- mores.

Farm Mechanics This building marks an important step in the establishment of industrial Work in the High School. In the summer of 1911, the board of directors, after considerable discussion decided to provide for the boys of the county, instructions on a subject which has long been needed. lt is now well known that farming is an occupation which calls for a higher order of intelligence and mechanical skill than formerly had been supposed. The course is intended to fit farmer boys to be better mechanics and operators of machinery. Little more than a casual notice is needed to impress any thoughtful person with the importance to farmers of a good working knowledge of machines and mechanical principles, My W. ,., L, Mm 57 SEI gf? 1 2, 1' X Q 1 3 F E W, X 1 .f if L gil q' W i ix ll qi .b b 1 m, r, 1 1 - M . wg YW my 1.3 if ' Q9 gg - - 1. ff' 2:-sf -1 Q Tir- 2 . r - -3 9 -' Cv 5'.

Class Motto-Today comes but once and never returns. CLASS YELL. Ge, Ha, Ha, Ge, Ha, Ha, Nickerson Business College, Rah, Rah, Rah. N. B. C. is our cry, V-I-C-T-O-R-Y. In our Commercial Class it has been impossible for us to trace the origin of each member of this great class, for we came from the humble home of the tiller of the soil, and from the palaces of the rich. From far and near over this great commonwealth of Kansas we comeg the pride of the prairie and the best of ite land. Be that as it may, We are gathered together here in the Commercial Class of 1912 and 1913, making the most of our opportunities and striving to improve our time so that we may go Lnto the great world of affairs and do our part in a manner that will be satisfactory to that worldg a credit to us and to our school. We have come to the conclusion that if we are successful in this world of the school, we can be assured--not rest assured, for as yet we dare not rest on our laurels- that we will be successful in our work after school days are over. Furthermore, we contend that we the graduating class are successful, for have we not worked our way through to the top? True, we have had the help of a competent corps of teachers and instructors. Professor Drake, by the sweat of his brow, has assisted us in no small way. Professor Hausam has given us real inspirations to our success by his pointed success talks. Pro- fessor Mundell in his fatherly way, has guided us through many a maze of trial-balances and trouble. Thanks to their untiring efforts we can now rise. as the sun from the mists of the morning and present ourselves to the world: a bright and shining light. FRED COLLINS. A good natured fellow who always greets everyone With a smile. Fred's ambition is to become a teacher in sonie business college, a position which we think he will be able to fill very satis- factorily. IVIARGUERITE MCCOY. Marguerite, our Class President, is com- pleting the Combined Shorthand and Book- keeping Course. She is a very good student, and is held in high esteem by her class- mates. She expects to occupy a position as Sten- ographer in a railway office for a few years, but beyond that+nothing is very Certaing but it is entirely possible that she Will turn her efforts to nionopolizing the 'tlleef Trust. BLANCHE BROOKS. Blanche is our Class Treasurer and a very good student. Bess always says when offered assistance in any of her studies, Hnhh-uh, that wontt do me any good. X She -is finishing the Bookkeeping and Shorthand courses, and with the aid of her sunny smile will no doubt win a position with Bankers. FRANCIS CHEATUM. Francis is completing the Bookkeeping course, and we look for him to attend school next year. For the present he is farniing near Pena- losa and we judge him to be a pretty Fair farmer, from the manner in which he worked While at school. He must he rather absent-mindedg ntany times he took the Wrong road home and vanie near missing his supper. ZOLA VAN ORDSTRAND. Zola is finishing the Stenographic' course this year. She always does her work very satisfactorily. So distant to some it seems,. But very agreeable when taken aright, And d0n't be surprised if you catch any gleam, For it Comes from her tresses so bright. EARL SIMMONDS. One of the little fellows who is not afraid to work. He is finishing the Bookkeeping course this year and expects to attend school next year in order to learn shorthand and type- writing, of which he is 'very' fond. He knows-having studied shorthand a part of this year. I Earl is noted as being quite a traveler, having frequently made journeys into the far south.-end of town. IVAN MOORE. He is a very earnest worker and also is fond of companions-at lcast 'on-ef ivan does not expect to attend school after this year, but thinks that he will begin farming in earnest. XVe wish him the best of success in his work and are sure that he will always look back to these school days with happy nfeni- ories. LULU GRAVES. Lulu is a very industrious and ambitious student, completing the combined Steno- graphic and Bookkeeping course in one year. She usually lets people know what she thinks. We think she intends to make the steno- graphic work her life occupation, but some young man will probably change hvr mind. EARL SNYDER. A very studious young man who is finish- ing the combined Bookkeeping and Steno- graphic course. Earl has done exceptionally well this year but it is feared that his will be a sad ending, as he is often found loiter- ing about the Graves, CLINTON BROOKS. Clinton is finishing the Bookkeeping course, but we don't know just what he is going to do in the future. XVe think he would make a good lawyer from the way he answers questions in Commercial Law. Fair are his eyes and coveied is his head with curls of brownish hue. He likes the girls, but so bashful is he that for him they fail to do. LEOTA COURSON. Yes, here's Leota, one of our small but mighty students, who takes a great interest in the Bookkeping department. Ther-e was a young lady, Leota, Who said she cared not an iota, But time will tell, And We'll know very well That she cared for one Freddie Collins. ARCHIE SUNIWALT. Archie is graduating from the combined Shorthand and Bookkeeping Course. Hasty, as h-e is also known, would make a good hardware dealer, as he has had some experience along that line. WILBUR KIRKHUFF. Played on the foot ball team of 1912313 Member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet 1912-'13 YVe knowhe will obtain '1lustice if by the use of no other charm than that of his voice. 'iBud has a 'hunch' that he would make a good Prof, if he only had some one to do the cooking. CLARA SHEPHERD. She is completing the Bookkeeping course, but We don't know whether she intends to be a bookk-eeper or not, as the following lines imply: Miss Shepherd is very wide awake, The way she does things is no fake, Unlike Little Bo Peep, She weeps not for her sheep, But, instead, she smiles for a Drake HERBERT MUELLER. Herbert played on the foot ball team of 1912-'13, and the Commercial basket ball team of 1912313. He is a very industrious young man, and is well liked by the rest of the Class. Herb says that he is coming back in the fall to attend the 'tl+'air. lone 0? them.J HOM ER DRAKE. Homer is an excellent student, but very quiet, and always attends to his own busi- ness. XVe are all convinced of his fondness for a Shepherd, Homer or Drake as we know him best, ls smiling and happy and ready to jest. When Clara's blue eyes at him look, He smiles and he smiles, then looks at his book. MARY CHRISTMAN. Merry Christmas as she is usually called, is a hard-working student who at' tends strictly to her own business. Her hobby is-Always having her lessons, Mary had a little lamb Whom no one ever saw. He never followed her to school, As 'twas against her law. EDGAR FALER. was one of the players on the foot ball team of 1912-'13, the Commercial Basket ball team of 1911-'12-'13, and one of the stars on the baseball team for the last two seasons. In arithmetic he's very good, But says, I don't like law, I'd like a start in Hardware, But can't agree with Paf' RALPH WHEELER. Better known among the Commercials as t'Rusty. He is always trying to say nice things to the girls, and would, no doubt, be very popular if he didn't spend so much of his time studying. If CONSTANCE HAUSAM. Constance is one of the few students who makes every minute count. She is com- pleting the Stenographic course in a very creditable manner, and we think she will surely make good in all she undertakes. She is a faithful worker, Her books, her time employ, She smiles quite often at the girls, But seldom at a boy. MILTON RINGER. Milt is one of those jolly students, but nevertheless, he is very fond of Meditation'i -a musical composition. He is very fond of studying, in fact, he has worked himself thin studying out a method of avoiding work. WALTER JOHNSON. Walter is a brilliant student who is com- pleting the Bookkeeping course. He has a fanulty of always having an answ-er ready whe11 everyone else fails. But even he has his failings for some one heard Maggie say, 'XValter,' if you talk in your sleep don't mention my name. JU LIA ABBOTT. .Iulia takes a great interest in her Work, and we think she will surely succeed, for no matter when you see her, she is always in a hurry. XVl1y hurry, scurry, little girl, As your work you do, You know that haste sometimes makes waste, W'hen you hurry through. ARCHIE MADISON. One of our intelligent students who is busy nearly all the time. XVe are unable to decide what Arrfhie's vocation will be, but are Confident of his making a success in any- thing he undertakes. Archie is hashful and quiet and slow, And surely lacks courage, as all the girls know. His first girl-Oh, my! lt's a long time ago, Since he ever took her along to the show. WILBER DETTER. Star center, and the captain of the Com- mercial Basket Ball 'team of l912-'l3. BuG' as better known-So tall and slender, so stately and fair. liuddie slings the groceries, At Michaelisf He is neat, lint he is often heard to say, He'd rather sling the meat. ' JEWELL BUNYON. Judging from Miss Bunyon's 8aI'I1ESt wav of doing her Work, we think that she must have a position in View with some good in- dustrious young man. Bunny,' is very precise in her speech, having once seen Hoenshel go by in a car, which inspired her to wonderful accuracy. SCOTT VAN ORDSTRAN D. Player on the second foot ball team of l9l2-313. Scott is a very good student and a friend to every one, especially Peggy, but cannot put away childish things-f----- Snowballing. LOUIS JUSTUS. His motto is Right is right, so Whats the use of arguing? Louis is very industrious and business- like in all his work. He is a model l,adies' Man having been known to jump into the coal Chute to avoid meeting one of the fair sex. CECIL YAPLE. Cecil is a very quiet sort of a young man, who takes everything alike and is not easily frustrated, He is completing the Combined Book- keeping and Stenographic course, in which he is quite proficient. He seems rather shy when surrounded by the ladies, but he will, no doubt, overcome that before very long. ROWLES ANDERSON. Rowles is a good student but very seldom has anything to say. However, you often hear that a Still tongue makes a wise head, and this is quite true in his case. We fear that Rowles will be the class bachelor, for he seems a little afraid of the fairer sex. JOHN KARR. John is a very industrious young man whom we expect to see succeed in the future. He is finishing the Combined course. With reason firm and temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength and skillg A splendid man, so nohly plannedg To war, to suffer and command, . CLYDE DANFORD. NVith hearts filled with sorrow the girls of the R. C .H. S. will watch the departure of the gallant Mr. Danford. Clyde would probably have been a good student if it had not been that most of his energies were directed to winning the smiles of the fairer sex. Better late than never. 35? EDGJ NUSIG GLASS Class Colors-Purple and White. Class Flower-Hyacinth. Class Motto--Music appeals not to a class but to mankind: it gives us not the real, but the ideal. BERTHA JUSTUS. Fashioned so slenderly, Young and so fair, ls this dear little Miss XVith the sweet, winning air. NIABEL LONG. Modest and quiet, pretty and sweet, She is a girl who cannot be beatg XVitty and original in all her remarks, Astonishing the faculty by mischievous larks. INEZ EWING. XVork a little, sing a little, XYhistle and be gay, Is this care-free maidens rule, For every single day. HELEN HILL. Good-natured, smiling, Full of fun, Says to worry - Run, run, run. LETTY SILER. For she is just the qiuiet kind, Whose natures never vary, Like streams that keep a summer wind Snow hid in January. BLANCHE HINSHAW. A pleasant, calm young lady, To school she does not gog But pleases our Miss Eastman By practicing just so. S.

The organization has not only benefitted and helped the studentsl but it has endeavored to work among the men outside of the school, and bring them in closer touch with the work which is being done in the school. Once every Week meetings have been held in the chapel and these meetings have been well attended by the students and men of the town. At these meetings very beneficial talks have been made by some of the members of the faculty, prominent men of the town, and some of the leading men from the neighboring cities. These talks have differed widelyg some of them have been along religious lines While others have been along business lines. The social life of the school has been well cared for by the Y. M. C. A. A short time after school commenced there was a 'tHobo Convention given in the gym. Each fellow was dressed to represent a hobo, and the gathering was made more lively by short talks by Billy Morgan and Garland Craig. The purpose of the convention was to bring the new and old students together and to form a closer and firmer friendship. Not only has great interest been taken in the local work, but interest has been taken in the work abroad as well. for a large delegation attended the High School Y. M. C. A. Convention held in Hutchinson. The success of the local organization has been due greatly to the untiring and ceasless efforts of the president and the other members of the cabinet who have carried on the work faithfully and efficiently. l l Yo I I 0 Go 0 The Y.

The aim of the elub is to give the mem-bers at better knovvledge of practical German, as the meetings, which are held every two weois, are entirely in the German dialect. At times, however, some of the members Dm-get to speak in the German tongue, but they soon hear in Miss Garrett's gentie tones. Auf Deutsch, bitter. The list of members enrolled in the elub Con- sists of all studrnts pursuing the study of Germ ln, thus bringing the beginners in ev'nversation with the farther advanced students. Each membel' Hikes part in the program at least three times each yiaer. The officers of the Verein hold their office during' three meetings and no member is elected to fill the same office but UH-P9 dUI'iI1f-'I the Yltar. f The roll call is answered with pro'.'erbs, childrens rhymts. short poems or some- thing abs.: ut Germany. One of the most interesting and entertaining rreetings of last year was a Kaffee KI-atc-h. The club met in the Domestic Art room, Where each DBTSOU WHS 3SSiSUl'f1 til OHS of six tables and served wtih eoffee-bread, cheese, Coekies and coffee. Aftcr a certain length of time the guests changed places, until at the endif the hour. each member had been at ia differ- ent table. The German dialect was spoken during the whole meeting and the waitresses thought the guests very rude when they said, donkey, fdankelf' when they were served. 'Phe last meeting of the Verein of the year 1911-12. was an open .assembly of the club, to which each member invited five friends interksted in German.

V 4 , FOOT BALL The season of 1912 was the first timx that the thump of tho pigskin had been heard on n Rvno gridiron in n. real gamo since thc now historic Emporia contest. It was only after some valiant oratory that Prof. Smith consentel to the ladyliku pastime, and the news went fast that RUIIII was to have ax foot bull team. They started the season with id. tea n. no member of which had 1-vcr' played in a, meuelf gzxmv, and few had ever soon une, although Iiurgdill, who came from Stafford said he had read about thu-m. Thus it was not to be wondered at that they lost their first game to the husky squad flnom St. John. The boys playa-d wall and were not disgraced, for they scored tho first touchdown and- thc final seo-rc was only 20-T. Tho only difficultivs encountered in this contest werv keeping XY0cknitz from- running towards his opponents' gcal, and Refm-ee Strei- bivh from endeavoving to have Rvno kick off from the twenty yard line. A week Iatm- Remo played thir first game at home, and surprised 4-ve-n their most ardent supporters by rolling' up :1 scorn- of T0-64111 Stn-rling High School. Sterling was known to he wonk, but tho fans had not crountod on the scoring ability of the Reno lads. Prof. Smith said frot ball was here tu stay and Wanted to knuw if we would not play Stv1'liug.:' evvry week. Nvxt the Hutchinson Champions WI'l'C8 mvt at the State Fair grounds in Hutchinson, and amidst the sand burrs :md :-zunflovvers. Rena fought with the spirit by which she made herself famous and Went down to defeat, hut not LHSQWEICQ lwforw that eb-fnv hucd athletv Sol Butler, and his crew. The score was 33-13, and although without the aid of Captain Applel in this gamma Reno was thu only visiting team, who S001-od more than one touvhdown on Hutchin- son ,cn their home grounds during the entire year. Next in lim- ca.mv St. John for the second game, and Reno, emlmitterod by the sting of their first defeat were out for blood. Vengeance is sweet, for Reno whitewashed St. John by the score ,rzf 14-0. It was an eutirvly different t02l'IT1' from the one that facvd St. John in the opening game, and in dvterminatifm. The score alone denotes the rapid strides made in the development of the team. Capt. Appel was back in this game and playvd WL-ll, scoring both touchdxcwns fm- his team. The folfowing week, Sterling High School was defeated for the second time by the score of 30-0. Sterling fought hard, but were no matvh for the heavy Reno Highs. Xwzcknitz, by his great line plunging starred for Reno, scoring three touchdowns. Then came the Cooper College second team, rv-enforced by several regulars, and with Coach Yeizzmxan of Hutchinson watching, Reno barely mused out 21 victor-V hy the score of T-G. Gibbens' touchdown and goal were Remfs only points, but it was enough tio! win. The following week was the HTltChfIlSK7'H game at home, and before a crowd of six hundred people, Reno fought the fast Yoeman machine to ax standstill. Hutchinson scored first and to those points they owed their victory, for after the first few minutes Reno played like veterans and dn the last half Hutchinson did not score, while Reno gathered seven rnlore. VVocknitz and Huffman made the touchdowns for lteno, with Gibbens scoring on a drop. The final game of the season was played at Pratt on Turkey Day, and it was the best exhibition of the gridiron pastime staged there in years, Ronny was beaten 7-0, but it was only by luck, for time after time the ball was in the shadow of Pratt's goal, but Reno could not push it over. ' The Reno line was without a peer in this part of the state, more than holding its sown with all the teams they met, and consistent gains were not to be made through them. Kirk- huff, Anderson, Mcllrath. Re-hm and Shamhart did great work in all the games, and tore large holes in their 0pponent's line, making the line plunging of the backs possible. Anderson, the big tackle, was especially good on getting down the field on punts and getting his own. Rehm, was a good consistent player and was given a place by Coach Yvnman on his All Arkansas Val- ley Eleven. Kirkhuff. Mcllrath and Shamhart hit the line hard and were gcod tacklers. Dixon's work at center was of the first class ordur, and especially in 'the Pratt game did he show his true worth, when his tackling and lim- breaking was a feature. The ends were well taken care- of by Bargdill, Fraser, Huffman, Frisch and Faler, the latter three also alternating at halfback after the injury of Captain Appel. Appel was a fast heavy half, but was only at his best in one or two gamesg his lvuss undoubtedly weakened the tm-am. Edwards, the other half, was an excellent broken field runner and dodger, and also A good tackler. Gibbens at quarter played through the entire season and did all the kicking for the team. Beef XVocknitz. the smashing fullback, played va good steady game and could be relied upon, The feature of his seasorfs work was in the Cooper game, when he tried to wake- a rainbow are around tho entire team and was caught in the middle of the' bow, but then Marg was watching, Beef XVOc'knitz, will be back with us next year, as he is the Captain- elect, Mueller, Bealmeal' and Newton played in several of the games and showed good form and if back in school next year will probably make regulars. The outlook for a good team next ye 11' is exceedingly bright, for with six rm' seven of the regulars back and the big second squad to pick from, they had better make room for Reno. The team showed good form in practice, beating the first team once and winning their only match fmrm Mt. Hope by El sr-ore of 7-U. SEASON'S RECORD. Rem, , .... 1 sr.

The line-up at the start of the season was exactly the sauce as that of the preceding year, thus giving us a team of veterans and experienced men, with the exception of Appel, who was out of the first few games on account of an injured knee received in football, and his place was filled by Gibbens. The first game of the season was played with Mullinville on Nov. 30, and resulted in an easy victory for Reno. Two weeks later was the opening game in the Arkansas Valley League with our old rivals, Halstead. This game was not as fast as the usual brand displayed by both teams, on account of the earliness of the season, but Reno was returned the winner by a comfortable margin. During the Christmas holidays a trip was taken to lola and B-uffalo, where they were given the best kind of treatment and enjoyed a good time, and among other things, happened to win two games, although both were close. The next game was with our friends of the Lawrence tournament last year, Baldwin, and Reno was more than evened up for the close defeat handed them then, by severely drubbing Baldwin 56-23, and scoring l9 points in the first half before Baldwin even counted. After Baldwin came Wichita, and in the closest game of the season, Reno was again returned the victor, 35-34, the score being a tie at the end of the actual playing period, and an extra session being necessary. XVinfield, tliingman, Hutchinson and Arkansas City were all defeated twice: and it was easy sailing for the Reno athletes until they bumped up against Halstead on the latter's own court. Here with a changed line-up, and playing a miserable game, Reno suffered her first defeat. But we hand it to Halstead, for they are a fine bunch of fellows, besides being the only team in the state who have defeated the lads from Reno. VVichita was defeated in her second game and Newton twice, a11d a second Arkansas Valley Basket Ball Championship had come home to Reno, bringing with it a handsome loving cup. Greensburg Terrors were next defeated, and then Reno, with a small aggregation of rooters, set sail for Lawrence, where they were entered in the K. U. basket ball tournament. Here their luck continued. Reno defeated Burlingame, Seneca, Baldwin. Lawrence and last but not least, Halstead, where Reno took revenge for their only de- T 1 feat and won the magnificent cup offered by the University. This was the largest tournament ever held in .the state, there being 32 teams entered and going clear through such a tournament, and winning it, is a feat to be proud of and an honor that comes seldom to any team. 4 Next was the Emporia tournament for the state championship, where the champions of the eight congressional districts met for the title. Here again was Reno declared the winner after defeating Emporia, Salina and the Normal High School in. succession. A pretty cup was also given here, but the title of ST'A,TE CHAMPIONS was now ours and better yet, it was undisputed. The K. U. and Emporia trip was the longest ever taken by the high school team, and the most successful, the team being gone ten days. The team was most royally treated by the University men and were invited out for several dinners where Coach Stribbins, 'Walnuts, 'Fish and the rest of the bunch were introduced to the frat men and a fine time enjoyed. At Emporia, a banquet was given to the teams by the K club of the Normal and Captain Mclfarland made a brilliant speech, but could not resist the temptation of having Streibich also talk to the teams: so he politely mentioned the fact that Streibich was a better talker than he and must therefore speak in his place and so he sat down amid the hand clapping of the boys. Captain McFarland played his third year on the team and is one of the best all around players the school has ever turned out. He started the season at gua1'd, but in mid season was switched to center and immediately became one of the principal scorers of the team, Bill graduates this year so he has probably played his last game for Reno, but before leaving he has the honor to captain the only Reno team which went through an entire season with a single defeat and coipped the State Championship. Frisch, the midget forward, and center was the star of the team and the leading scorer. XVhile playing a good game at center, he never really showed up till switched to forward, where he was at his best. Hoover, a Missouri Valley referee, said he was the fastest man he ever saw on a basket ball court. Appel, the other forward, was a fast, heady man and a great floor player. He was at his best in the K. U. tournament and his work was a great help to the team. Shamhart played forward the first part of the season and his work helped materially in winning the league cup. He was prevented from competing in the tourna- ments on account of his age and although the team did not lose a game, his loss un- doubtedly weakened them. Griffin and Rehm, the two guards, were the best defensive men who ever per- formed for a Reno team, and the very fact that they only scored a few baskets indicates that they were always on the job. Fewer baskets were scored on them than any pair of guards in the state and their playing was invaluable to the success of the team. Gibbens played in a number of the games at forward and did good work. He played good ball when any off the regulars were out and played in several important games, and probably would have been a regular, but for the super-abundance of material. Greene was in a half dozen games and besides McFarland, he had the distinction of being the only man to play every position. He did excellent work in both tourna- ments. Wocknitz, played at the tournament and in the Arkansas'City game, and his work was excellent, especially at Lawrence, Too much credit for the good showing of the team cannot be given to Coach Streibich, who has put Reno on the basket ball map. So here's to Streibich, may he continue to grow tall, and win championships for old Reno. RECORD.

The schedule was opened with Arlington who were snowed under by the score of The other four games were with our friends from the neighboring city of Sterling, and Reno was victorious in all except the tie game. Sterling won the state championship at Lawrence, so our girls have something to be proud of, for except by Reno, Sterling possessed an undefeated team. The cvhief r9HS0H for Rands DOH-'Darticilll tion in the Lawrence tournament was the fact that Maude Frisch, one of the forwards, was not eligible on account of having played already four years. Maude's playing was excellent all year, and especially so in the final Sterling game, when she accomplished the unique feat of scoring every point made by her team. Dorothy Querfeld was the other forward and as she was an all-state forward last year, it is easy to imagine her style of play. She scored the most goals ever made by a girl on the Reno court, if not by any individual, when she tossed 19 goals from the field in the Arlington game. Margaret Drake also played forward and did excellent work and without doubt will be a regular next year. 'The centers, Hester Kirkhuff and Josephine Wood, although new to the game, did good work and especially in the class games on the Freshman team did they show form that made Coach Streibich cease worrying for next year. The Griffin sisters at guard, Mabel and Lena, were a pair of fine defensive players, upon whom it was almost impossible to score baskets. Addie Justus at guard in several games also did good work. Ruth Erion, Inez Ewing and Clara Whittaker were on the squad at different times of the year but on account of injuries and various other reasons were kept off the regular team. The team was ably coached by Mr. Streibich and Miss Martindale. RECORD. Reno ... 55 Arlington H. S. .. Reno . .. l'7 Sterling H. S. .. Reno .... 18 Sterling H. S. . .. Reno 21 Sterling H. S. ..

Aside from the regular High School team, Reno has another team of which any sehool eould be proud. The Nickerson Business College team played through a hard series of fourteen games with only two defeats. Among the teams defeated were some of' the best in this section of the state. Greensburg, Partridge, Hutchinson Y. M. C. A. and the Newton Athletic Club second team. The two defeats were suffered at the hands of the Greensburg Teri1:n's, a team which they afterwards won from, and the old Athletics, a collection of former Nickerson stars. 'l'his latter game was lost by anly one paint, and would have been won without doubt, if the regular lineup had been used the whole game. The liookkeepers also won the Inter-Class tournament. being returned the victor in all four games and triumphing over the Seniors in the final game by the score of 37-23. This ehampionship brought with it a handsome loving' cup. The forwards, Sumlwalt and XVilson were extremely fast men and gnod basket shooters. It was their work which won several of the games. which would have otherwise been lost to the Pen Pushers. Alexander played forward in a number of the games and his work was of the gilt edge order, but being :also a Junior, he was obliged to play with them in that series, and so was not in the line up in the class gaimes. Snook also played forward in quite a number of games and made fan excellent showing, but on account of the similar reasons to Alexander was not in the class games. Detter, the tall captain and center was the only man who played in every game of the season, and his work was a feature. He always got the tipoff on his opponent and his basket shooting and floor work were excellent. His work alone in the Senior game cinched the championship for the team. The guards, Faler and Mueller were good defensive men and their excellence in this department of the game, made possible several victories. Davidson and XVhittaker played in several games and showed good form.. Davidson especially played brilliantly in the Partridge game, and VVhittaker in the Greensburg game. The class of hall that the C'0'mIT19T'Cials played can easily be seen by the fact that two of their members, Griffin and Green, who started the season with them were promoted to the Reno team. McFarland Commercial. The success of the games furnished them by the Business College, and in this way, were indebted to them for the long string of victories which they were able to make, also played two games with the Bankers, as he was also a High School team was due principally to the hard practice RECORD.

With nearly every man back from last year's team, which went through the season with a single defeat, and that at the hands of the Lyons League team, whom they had shut out until the sixth inning, there is every indication for another successful season. The first game of the year resulted in an easy victory over Little River by a score of 9 to 0. Reno is well fortified in the battery position, having Rehm and Faler, one of the best high school batteries in this section of the state. Then there is Captain Bon- durant, who is capable of acceptably filling either position, but who at present is plays ing an excellent game at third base, and Hill who is ready to take his turn behind the bat whenever called upon. Shamhart is holding down the first sack, and, although new to the position, is doing well. Wilson and Ungles have been performing at the keystone position, and both are playing excellent ball. Gibbens is again at short. In Davidson, Drake, Fraser and Anderson, Reno possesses an excellent quartet of fly-chasers and good hitters, with Fraser also ready for mound duty whenever called upon. Appel has also shown good form in practice and probably will play in some of the games. Coach Streibicfh has arranged games with Little River, Cooper College, Lyons League, Hutchinson Eagles, and several other good teams, and a most successful season is predicted. -Z-N f D TRACJK TEAM 1915 It was hoped that after the fair success of the track team last year there would be more interest taken in the work and that there would be more men trying out for the different events this year. But owing to bad weather and interest in basket ball, track work was not started until late. There was plenty of good material for a team in school, but owing to the fact that there was no one to coach the boys when Mr. Streibich was away or busy with the baseball team, not so many came out as should. Those who have been working out are showing up strong, and they hope to make a good showing in the meets in which they expect to take part. Some of the new men who are doing excellent work are, Love, Cummings, Xvhittaker, McKeown and Dever. The old men are doing well, but some of them will have to hustle to keep their places. The team expects to have a dual nteet with Sterling April 18, and if they make a good showing they will go to the inter- scholastic meet at Pratt, April 26. The track team last year was the first one from the school that ever gain-ed much success. They somewhat surprised the school by taking second place in track and field events and relay race in the Seventh District Meet at Sterling. The next 'week they took fourth place in the track and field events, and second place in the relay race at Hutchinson, where they met more and stronger teams than at Sterling. Since foot ball has become a sport in the school's athletics, track work should take a much more prominent place, as track work will help the men in training for football as much as football training will develop men for track and field events. It would also be a help to the team if a captain were elected early in the spring to assist the'-coach with the work.

All ea1'thly things must have an end, Vilas declared by the sages old, And back to this awful, relentless fact, Can be traced woes of man, untold. S0 my heart is heavy within me tonight From the pangs of a shattered dream, And the mystical chain of my old love thoughts, ls rent with a widening seam. Happy were we in the month of May, Happy were we in June, And as we parted neath the old cherry tree, Our he-arts were in perfect tune. And I wandered alone in the twilight, And looked at the moon above, Oh, you luvky beggar, said I, No doubt you ran see my Love. And the days sped on in a hurry, And letters galore I dropped, Ihlt the answers so promptly written at first, Grew fewer, and smallerg and stopped. Oh, for one sound of her merry voice, To cheer the dull day along, And I would I could hear it as once I did, In the lilt of the gladsome song. Perhaps you may think that I have it bad, And curl proud lips in scorn, But remember and sympathize with my mood, When your heart with remorse is torn. Perhaps you may see some joke in it all, And possibly you may smile, Hut list to this moral I would have you note, There is none of this fun worth while. -Original-li. C. H. S.
