FA RE VV ELL. N2 X2 Y The rooms, once filled with merry youth, And teachers great in learning, And graduates who at this time Their daily bread are earning, No more shall feel our presence near, Or know the teachers' rule, For, as a memory of the past We hold our dear old school. It served its time full long and well, And now we hate to see It back into the old rut gog Such as it used to be. So let it shake and crumble still, Old age comes to all things: But in our hearts will ever be The memory which it brings. Farewell, farewell, to it we say, As onward still we go: And tho it's just a ruin now, It was not always so. The inside walls were papered once, And once they did not shake: We're to those sweet old memories true, And them we'll ne'er forsake. POET NEVV HIGH SCHOOL BUILDIZVG GREETING .' For many years we hoped and prayed, Real soon a school to start, In which to realize fond hopes, Those nearest to the heart. But always there has been some one, Or possibly some thing, That kept us few progressive ones, From that High School building. Everything comes to him who waits I think the saying goes: And so those same progressive ones Have conquered all their foes. So now there soon will rise to sight, A building, oh, so grand, In which to educate us all For workers in our land. And in the High School's new abode Some changes will be wroughtg More teachers will be put therein, New courses will be taught. And when we're in this new building, We'll realize at last, That Rolla is a good old town Not buried in it past. POET. BOARD OF EDUCATION HARRY R. MCCAW, President Board of Education. Z-5 S. L.

Y V2 Xi The object of the Mid-Week Exercises of the Rolla High School is to promote school spirit, and to bring the student body in touch with the busy world. The students of the High School have taken great interest in these exercises, and all have done their share of the work. Wednesday, November 11, 1914, the first meeting was held, for organi- zation. At this time the following committee was appointed to arrange for the weekly program: Gwendolyn Arthur, Berenice Wynn, Nancy Love and Fay Dent. Some of the addresses given were as follows: Education, ----- Rev. G. P. Keeling Daily Life, ----- Rev. H. N. Tragitt Our Education, - - - - Rev. A. M. Dixon Memories of Our School Days, - Rev. G. G. Riggan The Meaning of the word Education, - - Father O'Loughlin Time, ---- - Professor G. R. Dean The Value of English, - - - - Dr. J. W. Barley Aluminum, - - - Professor V. H. Gottschalk The X-Ray, - - - Dr. A. L. McRae The Coming of Arthur, ---- Prof. W. F. DeMoss Libraries, ----- J. Cunningham, Librarian National Reserve Bank, ---- Honorable F. H. Farris Progress and Conservation of Public Health, - Professor E. G. Harris On several occasions Dr. J. J. Bassett-Wootton played selections from Wagner, Brahms and Mendelssohn. The students of the school have helped most cheerfully by reading se- lections, giving piano and vocal numbers at these entertainments. It is the ambition of both pupils and teachers to continue and try to im- prove the high standard already set. FAY DENT, '18. Rolla-Hi Editorial Staff.

Y XS Ni The high school building is one of the most interesting in Rolla. It has had a varied and turbulent existence, and more varied and strange are the stories handed around concerning it. There is no written record of this building, so I have been compelled to gather most of the material for this brief history from information given me by some of the older citizens of the town. Some things have been given to me in one way by one person, and in an entirely different way by another, and other things no one seems to be able to remember at ally but I have attempted to obtain as complete a knowl- edge of my subject as has been available, and to make the correct selection wheresoever I have found contradictions. The building occupies the lot in the southeast corner of the block on which the Central Grade School is located. The description of the lot in the deeds of transfer is as follows: Beginning 120 ft. S. of the NE. corner Block 47, then W. 60 ft., then S. to N. line of 5th St., then E. on N. line of 5th St. to SE. corner of said Block 47, then N. on W. line of Main St. to place of beginning, all in Block 47, Bishop Addition to the City of Rolla. The lot was deeded to George Goettelmann and his wife, Catherine, on April 16, 1868, by Edmund W. Bishop, for 3250. In the same year Mr. Goet- telmann erected the present high school building. The date 1868, and the name G. Goettelmann may be seen today carvedlon a limestone tablet set high in the east wall of the structure. This Mr. Goettelmann was an uncle of Mrs. John Falls, who now lives across the street east of the high school. The building was then one of the most beautiful in Rolla. It was made of red brick, with limestone foundation and window sillsg the dimen- sions were twenty-eight feet wide by forty-eight feet long, and it had two stories, besides an attic and a basement. There was a frame porch running across the south side and over the south door on the east side. The building Yvasdelegantly furnished, especially in the second story, where the family ive . Among the many odd things we hear concerning the place, is that a man was killed there while it was used as a saloon: but Mrs. A. S. Long, who has lived here ever since it was built, says that this is a mere story, which may have arisen from the fact that a young man named Huffmeister, who was quite often at the house to call on Mr. Goettelmann's daughters, was, while out riding, thrown out of the buggy and killed. April 30, 1870, George Goettelmann and wife mortgaged the property for 32,000 to James R. Bowman: and June 24, 1876, it was sold to David Branson for S2,010, to satisfy the mortgage. Mr. Branson owned the build- ing until his death five years later. It was probably during this period that it was rented to A. K. Coppedge for a grocery store. Although it is gener- ally believed that the building served in the capacity of a butcher shop about this time, yet I have found that this was not the case. There was, however, zimbutcher shop across the street, and the report probably arose from this act. May 11, 1881, the heirs of David Branson transferred the property to Elizabeth J. Owen, but since several properties were transferred by the same quit-claim deed, it is impossible to estimate the valuation put upon it. Mr. F. C. W. Owen and his family lived in the building for a year or two, after which it was not occupied until 1884, when it was rented by Prof. E. H. Scott. During the time in which no one lived there, the second story was used as a storehouse for grain, and hogs were allowed to run back and forth through the lower hall after the grain spilled by the men who handled it. The building was also the refuge of numerous roaches that ran about and made themselves perfectly at home. Mrs. George R. Dean, the sister of Professor Scott, said that they were the most enormous and noisiest cock- roaches she had ever seen. In 1884 one of the professors of the Missouri School of Mines gathered a music class, and wrote to Prof. E. H. Scott, who was then residing in Ab- ingdon, Illinois, asking him to come and take charge of the pupils. This was just the opening that Prof. Scott had been desiring, so he came imme- diately. After looking around for a place in which to conduct his school, he selected this vacant building. Mr. Owen did not think it worth while to fix it up for a conservatory, but he finally agreed to do it. The porch was re- paired, the third story arranged into practice rooms, and a frame cupola, or balcony, with the word Conservatory painted upon it, was built on the roof. The second and third stories were used for class rooms, while Professor Scott's parents, brother and sister, lived on the ground floor. Mr. J. W. Scott, the brother, says that he can remember times when four people were playing horns on the attic fioor, and every piano in the practice rooms was going. So, he adds, the high school was once full of music. The school of music was located here for two years, and during the summer terms penmanship and English branches were also taught. The Western Conservatory of Music now has its headquarters in Chicago, and ranks among the most highly esteemed institutions of its kind. So we see that our old high school has been the humble birthplace of something Worth While. The building stood empty again after 1886, when the Conservatory was removed, until 1896, when the School Board decided that more room was needed for the public school. So the building was bought on August 4, 1896, from Mr. Owen for the sum of 31200. The first grade, taught by Miss Myra Blanchard, occupied the first floor of the building, and the Superintendent lived upstairs until 1901, when it was moved and carried at a regular session of the Board, Sept. 3, that the two partitions over the primary room in the primary building be taken out, and the laboratory be removed to that room. The question of moving the high school to the primary building and hiring another was referred to the Finance Committee at this meeting. The Board met in adjourned session December 20, 1901, and besides other business the following decision was given: We, the committee ap- pointed by the Board in regard to the advisability of removing High School from the main building, beg leave to make the following report: That after considering the matter fully, together with the Superintendent, we believe that it is for the betterment of the school, and recommend that the change be made. JOHN S. LIVESAY, 2 T. M. JONES, - Committee. A. S. N ILES, l This recommendation was adopted by the Board, and the High School was moved to its present home. The teachers at this time were the Super- intendent, Professor Blair, and Miss Beall, the Principal: but May 12, 1912, the Board adopted a resolution that a gentleman be elected as principal of the High School, and that an additional teacher be chosen as assistant. Both were to be under the supervision of the Superintendent. The building is now a good deal like it always has been, in size and shape, but not in quality. The cupola, built for the Conservatory, has been torn down for a long timeg and the porch was removed before 1908, because it was thought unsafe. The windows have been painted white, to keep the pupils' attention from wandering to the things outside. New sidewalks have been built, and other minor improvements have been madeg but, de- spite all improvements, the building has become very unsuitable for school purposes. The loose plastering is dangerous, the defective light and poor blackboards are injurious to the eyes: and the sanitary conditions are most unsatisfactory. In talking with Mr. Albert Neuman about the purchase of the structure by the Board, I remarked: 'ilt must have been in a very di- lapidated condition then. His emphatic reply was: It was much better then than it is now. It is apparent to all that the Rolla High School should be moved from this old dilapidated building to a larger and more suitable place. However, there are many of the old teachers and students who would be sorry to see the building torn down, abandoned, or used for base purposes. wFr0m a Thesis by Evelyn Fern Hunt, '14. fi' ef if-5: ri Ki- T- ' ls E- K. so xof l Q 4, ' d '-'- 2 :W 5' f J N s Y of f i 5: 'af' -ai' 3' N -ii l ff Al l: My iv' 1,,v.

Y N2 Y Our Senior Class is composed of ten girls and five boys. Six members, Gwendolyn Arthur, Ethel Case, Dixie Harris, Wesley Jones, Ottilie Krue- ger, and Grace Livesay, started together in the first grade. In the sixth grade We were joined by Clara Dressendofer and Sarah Lenox, in the eighth grade by Samuel Arthur and Prudence Chappel, in the Freshman Class of the High School by Helene Graber, Arthur Kerr and George Rhoades, and in the Senior Class by Velma Bullard and Walter Scott. During the years of our Public School life we constantly looked forward with considerable longing, not unmixed with fear, to the time when we would enter High School. How We envied the care-free Freshmen, the striving Sophomores, the studious Juniors, but most of all, the pensive Sen- iors! Was not this the height of our ambition, to some time be able to say, I am a Senior? When, finally, we said farewell to the Public School, with what mingled feelings of pride, joy, curiosity, and fear, did we greet our initiation into the mysteries of High School work! Our fears were real- ized in that first year of Freshman Work. O, how hard and difficult it seem- ed at times, and sometimes the question presented itself to our minds, is it worth while? But I suppose the thought of some day being a Senior spurred us on to renewed efforts, and a determination to accomplish the task before us. I once observed a boy carrying a basket of laundry up a stairway. The basket seemed rather more of a burden than a boy of his size should carry. Iasked him, Is not that basket too heavy for you? He replied, Oh, yes: it is quite heavy, but I am nearly there with it now. I just have to take it to the first landing. He would carry it two or three steps at a time, then set it down and rest, every now and then glancing upward at his goal. Ours has been a similar experience. We sometimes stumbled under our self-imposed burdens, but always at such critical times we would receive worlds of encouragement from parents and teachers, and again take up the loa . History not only discusses individuals and their deeds, but also portrays character, and this I shall now proceed to do, to the best of my ability. Reflecting upon the present Senior Class, I asked myself, was there ever such a well-balanced class before, and could one hope for another such a one in the future? For the class was aiected, as a whole, by the seriousness of George Rhoades, the drollness of Arthur Kerr and Wesley Jones, the ex- treme energy and excitability of Ethel Case and Clara Dressendorffer, the calmness of Sarah Lenox and Velma Bullard, the sunny disposition of Gwen- dolyn Arthur, and the good humor of Dixie Harris. In marked contrast to Wesley Jones, who was always getting into trouble, was Walter Scott, a born diplomat. Then there was Prudence Chappel, true to ner name, Grace Livesay, though small of stature, with a loving heart, and Helene Graber, modest and retiring. Last, but not least, was Sam Arthur, who excelled in initiative. Though they differed in many things, each was in sympathy with the others, which tie served as a common bond. OTTILIE KRUEGER, '15.

'Z I had been alone nearly all afternoon, 2 ,, 0 at sitting before the fire-place reading. 9,7 ' 2 Finally, growing tired, I allowed my New 7 thoughts to wander into the future. As .

QF km ' X I With this on my brain I fell asleep, XKQX i only to be awakened suddenly by a very Q5 .QQ W, ji W odd sound from the fire.

When the fire goes out you will find that from which you will know the future of the Class of Fifteen. A small blue flame and a little hiss, N and she was gone. Impatiently I waited IV Q until the fire went out, so that I could be- gin my search. I was very much disap- pointed to find only the usual gray ashes. Listlessly I picked up the poker and be- i gan building a new fire. My attention 0' was suddenly attracted to many little 0 pieces of paper, of nearly every shape ' and color imaginableiq Ilduglthoem all out , ' ' and placed them on t e eart eside me. tr- ' The title and a few notes of music X gxwm first caught my eye. The piece was named The Leader, and the composer's initials were W. S. Now, as you already know, Walter is both a leader and a musician. He will become the director of a famous orchestra, probably in a Northern atmosphere. One of your number will convert the heathen, was the newspaper line which caught my searching eyes. That is gentle Ethel, because little people always do great things. An advertisement for nurses' uniforms with O. K. traced in ashy lines, and I found that we have a future nurse among us. Ottilie will prefer a place of treatment for people suffering from an overdose of anti-fat. The whole of a professional card was brought to light. Grace Livesay, Salesman for Everything Drug Co. She will sell one bottle, the contents of which can be used for a tooth wash, hair tonic, massage, glue, ilavoring extract: in fact, everything. On a scrap from a magazine story this was written: George We Y-, a rising young farmer, etc. Now, I know '4Mr. George is doomed to rise rapidly, whether from a gunpowder explosion or from successful farming. However, in his case it will be farming, maybe in Taney County. The next piece of paper was so small, and had so little upon it, that I nearly gave up hope. Then, lo! it came like a flash, that Wesley will be an Editor, whose paper will be popular because of the clever cartoons of the genius who will develope from our classmate. A piece of paper larger than most of them had a line burnt nearly across it. Below was written: Remove all lines. Gwendolyn is to have the fate of becoming a beauty doctor. Arthur's Hair Tonic will be her gift to the world. Ifound an Easter Card shaped like a cross, which simply said, To Velma. A woman and a cross make me think of a nun, so that will be Velma's life work, which will be nun the worse for having her. This next one proved interesting. A red paper burnt in the shape of a heart, on which was the head of a beautiful woman. A. K. was artistically written near the bottom of said heart. So Helene, our class beauty, will still pose for artist Sally, altho 'twill soon be in a place far superior to the physics laboratory. Part of a paper proved to be a certificate giving Prudence the right to teach. She certainly will make a good teacher, because she is the kind of a girl children easily learn to love. Another business card read: Sarah Lenox, Voice Culture, Rolla High School. With the new building will come new studies, and Sarah will fill the above position. The figure of a ship completely filled the next piece of paper. For sev- eral moments I could find no connection between this and any member of our class. Then I knew that Sam will be a navy officer, and one of whom we all may be proud. Thru a letter I learned that Clara will soon become desperate, and in the fear of being an old maid, will start a matrimonial bureau. Red headed people are usually successful. After a little further search I found the last slip of paper. It seemed to be different from the rest. It gave me a queer sensation as I beheld on it the mystical figure of a beautiful woman, seemingly in a trance. Then in an instant it dawned upon me that our Class President, Dixie, was to be a seeress. Great events of the world she will foretell, and many are the souls who will be grateful to her for her wisdom and knowledge. DIXIE HARRIS, '15. 5' X TZ Za ' f Yr Q2 in -KX X A f Senior C161 SS Poem.

Y Y X2 FOREWORD: To the Editors of the Rolla-Hi: In compiling this brief review of the Class of 1916, Ihave endeavored to put forth as modestly, and yet in as fitting a manner as possible, the glory that effulges from the aggregate constituting the above mentioned class. In no other class in the school at the present time will one find the balance, the poise, the intellectuality, that predominates in this group of students. I do not need to tell you of the importance and the magnanimity of this class, and if I should attempt to do so, I could never impress upon your minds the actual importance of us Juniors, who are struggling so hard to reach the goal of wisdom. ' A fact that proves that our class is very, very important, is that three very dignified Seniors have allowed themselves to be enrolled in one of our class- es, and we certainly do appreciate the honor, and altho Velma, Sarah and Walter are not true-blue Juniors, we are very proud of them. Our class roll is composed of eighteen loyal Juniors, and we are all very proud of our class. My labor in behalf of this class has been one of love and loyalty to one and all of the members, and should there by any chance be an exception taken to the personal remarks I have made, I trust the matter may be am- icably adjusted. Thanking you for the privilege of writing this symposium, I remain, Yours sincerely, THE AUTHOR. ROBERT STASSEN- Bob. Destined to sweep the nation off its feet. MARY ADAMS- Mary Jane.

Xi Y Y The sour and learned Seniors may be distinguished from the jolly, roys- tering Sophomores, and the impertinent Freshmen, by the exceeding strength of their countenances, and their habit, which has been termed by some im- pertinent Freshman, star gazing. Every one in the class seems to have a taste for the study of astronomy, and some of the boys have pairs of eyes that are as blue as the sky and as bright as the stars. Whether they dis- covered these during their contemplation of tne heavens it is impossible to say, but certain it is that when a Senior is in this learned reverie he is likely to stumble and bark his shins over any unoffending little Sophomore or Freshman who happens to stand in his path. Each year the Seniors flaunt their superiority in the faces of the Fresh- men and Sophomores by organizing many societies and clubs, with names such that one not a practitioner of the black art, cannot pronounce. They hold secret fests and confabs in the most secluded recesses of the laboratory, they wear watch charms and class pins of peculiar designs, with mystic characters emblazoned thereon, and they converse learnedly among themselves, after the manner of so many owls, on subjects which an unso- phisticated, innocent, little Sophomore wots not of. . ' One of the greatest manifestations of the superiority of the Senior is the fact that they are allowed to have individual pictures in the Annual, however, much to the grief of their pocketbooks. At the end of each term they are accustomed to assume an air of im- portance, and to bequeath many worthless things to their successors, the Juniors. When the great Seniors condescend to attend the mid-week exer- cises, and to sit in all the best seats, with their feet blocking the aisles, the boys to sing hoarse bass and the girls to giggle and talk, the inferior Fresh- men and Sophomores fairly weep with joy and gratitude. Yea, verily, the Seniors are greatly superior. - RAY DENISON, '17. The Decla in atory Con test. N2 N2 NS Not only is the entire High School proud of Ray Denison for winning the gold medal at the declamatory contest, but the Sophomores are particu- larly elated because he is a member of their class. Each year the South Central Missouri Teachers' Association closes its sessions with a contest, to which all the high schools in the district are invited to send representatives. This year fifteen contestants were present, but Ray easily won Hrst place among the boys. fi. , K 1 u - , 6 9- - 'fs' Whth O..fvcShvvma.1'5 3 yy-Q-ey-S H85 VKl+hlY!w buff- 5 f'3Q,l5,s1I ,-: X, Q7 X X 6 ,J 'F I' fd' 'Ex ' new QS. ne 'N-RN S X 040 Z lyk i '31-C+' La..'+ev 41510. gehloafr fl 'Wxaw oi Yvxuc T'1+, L- WeLLl -rvjmvbe-I x 1 I,,,, z-. f 2 H , 'A 4 NSY' The f1I'GSIl1T1fI 141 Clan Ss.

When we got in High School we thought that we wuz about the whole cheese, but we soon found out that a Freshman is about the smallest, meanest, most contemptible thing in the whole High School. At the beginnin' of school we were wellcombed in by the Sophomores, who gave us a set of rules by which to conduct ourselves, such as, always enter the building by the back door only, always doff your hats to Sopho- mores and other upper classmen, never be seen fussing or talking to any of the fair sex, etc. These aforesaid rules and regulations wuz really a very good thing, for they showed us our place, and kep some of our bunch from getting swelled heads, which they threatened to do. Of coarse, at first we wuz awful green. We aint a denying that, not a bit, but jest the same we wuz a mighty lively bunch, and the best Freshman Class that ever hit this town or school yet. Them upper classmen told us that we wuz the ones that put the Fresh in Freshman, and I guess they about told the truth there. 'Member how we organized after much cussin and discussin. In select- ing the class flower, although I wanted a hollyhawk or a sun-flour, my wish- es wuz not considered. , Of the forty odd members of our class who entered high school in Sep- tember scarcely thirty-five remain, the others havin grown puny from over study and kwit school. Their places have been partly filled by new mem- bers who have started in from time to time. We wuz some smart class, too, when it comes to studyin. Our teachers said we wuz awful bright. We liked all our subjects pretty well, especially that beloved Latin that Professor Buck teaches, and Miss Via's English. Nearly all of us made a general average of ninety in most of our subjects and got out of most of our quarterly exams. We had four or five sharks, a bunch of big guns, two or three wits, a few goats, some boneheads, lots of wild animals and many other things too numerous to mention. Will they all be back? You bet they will for they got to have our class to keep up the reputation of good old R. H. S. Believe me, this is a pretty good old school after all.

If f, MMM Athletics in the Rolla High. N2 Y N8 Athletics in the Rolla High School are good now, but they were proba- bly better in the past. The best teams of the school were during the years between 1909 and 1912. Then the boys devoted much time to the develop- ment of the teams, thereby gaining championships in various sports. The basketball teams for all these years were the best anywhere around. We had the long ones for centers, the strong, sturdy ones for guards, and the speedy, accurate ones for forwards. The members of these teams were Paul King, Albert Gale, Ed Damotte, Pete White, Bill Powell, Har- ry Heimberger, Bert Clayton, Harry Kline, Elva Line, Earl Jones, X. Smith and Gene Johnson. St. James, Washington, Lebanon, Newburg, Steelville and Salem were all victims. Football really thrived only one year, altho it has made several attempts to live since. But during that year Rolla was champion. Iberia and Leb- anon, the two most formidable rivals, were easily defeated. One thing that makes the Lebanon game memorable is the fact that it was the first game ever won on Jackling Field-the Miners had already played one, but lost. There was much interest developed in track, especially in the relay event, since the S. C. M. T. A. offered a cup to the winning team. We won it first, lost it second, then won it three years in succession. The fifth race was the important one for Rolla, since it determined where the cup would stay. There were four entries in the race: Rolla, Steelville, Licking and Richland. Steelville was the most feared. The Rolla team, made up of Paul King, Earl Jones, Elva Line and X. Smith, won. However, the S. C. M. T. A. decided that the cup must go each year to the Winning team, and our boys refused to run again. The Athletic Association has been very busy ever since it was organized. During their days Georgena Clark, Eugene Johnson, Harry Heimberger, Will Kahlbaum and Emmet Wynn have been Presidents, while our Treasur- er, Miss Via, has served the student body very faithfully. A few of the stunts pulled off by the Association were: Socials, con- certs and suppers. One of the most important things done by the Associa- tion was the purchase of the piano with the money raised by the persistent efforts of Miss Via. The girls' basketball team of the past, while good, was not as good as the present, according to the dope, for at the present our girls are cham- pions of the S. C. M. T. A. Taking it all in all, much was done in the past, but next year, in our new high school, there is no reason in the world why we should not make a better record than in any of the previous years.

Lower RowiEmma Montgomery, Helen Baysinger, Berenice Wynn, Dixie Harris, Christine Hammer. Girls' Basketball. YYY Early in the year a meeting was held by the girls who were interested in basketball. An association was formed, and Berenice Wynn was elected captain. The team had its first practice the third week of school. A large crowd was out, and everything started with a vim which has been kept up r amp, a student of the School of Mines, kindly offered to coach the girls, and they found his assistance very valuable. The first game was with Newburg, November 6th. The selected team was Ruth Mitchell, Berenice Wynn and Dixie Harris, guards: Helen Bay- singer and Christine Hammer, forwardsg Nancy Love, Emma Montgomery and Mildred East, centers. With this team they thought they were certain to Win. The game started in a rather speedy manner, and continued so throughout the two halves. At first it looked as if Rolla's fond hopes were going to be shattered, but the team soon pulled together, and at the end of the first half the score was a tie of 5-5. During the second half Rolla grad- ually pushed up its side of the score. Both Rolla forwards made several good baskets, but Newburg made some fouls. When the whistle blew at the end of the second half the score was 13-9 in favor of Rolla. Although the Newburg game was very exciting, it was far surpassed by the meet of the South Central Teachers' Association, held in Rolla at the Thanksgiving holidays. This Association is composed of the schools of four- teen counties in South Central Missouri. To encourage a spirit for athletics among High School students this Association held an athletic meet on N o- vember 28th. The girls' basketball teams from Licking, Iberia, Steelville and Rolla were present. The first two teams to play were Steelville and Rolla. Both were confi- dent of victory. At the end of the first half the score was, as it should have been, in favor of Rolla. The second half started after a few minutes intermission, the Rolla team confident, the Steelville team hopeful. The short half was soon closed, Rolla finding herself victorious. The game was interesting and full of motion, but Steelville was outclassed by Rolla's team. The next step was to find what team was to be Rolla's opponent for the pennant. The two remaining teams, Licking and Iberia, played, resulting in a victory for Iberia. When Rolla and Iberia took the fioor people sat up with a jerk and the suspense was something awful because the winners would be The Cham- pions? The game started with a rush, both teams made many fouls, but the Rolla team made the most baskets, consequently, at the end of the first half Rolla was a few points ahead. The last half was quickly played, each team doing its best, but Rolla was again the better, and won with a com- fortable mar-gin. The Rolla High School is proud of the record of the Girls' Basketball Team in 1914-15, chiefiy because of the spirit and vim with which they play- ed the game and won the S. C. M. T. A. pennant.

Baseball rings in a fellow's ear the whole year round. Our material has been very scarce during the last two years, and much of our effort was directed towards raking up money with which to buy baseball suits. Our first game was played in the new suits. We played Lebanon both on their field and on ours. The score at Lebanon was 5 to 7 in favor of Lebanon. The return game with Lebanon was the best played on J ackling Field last season. The score was 11 to 6 at the end of the 12th inning. In this game the fellows showed their pep, Harry Pezoldt, our little star catcher, caught a fine game. Sam Arthur, our big first baseman, held down his sack. Faulkner, the nifty little outfielder, caught every ball that came his way. Scotty, the third baseman, played like a whirlwind A. Kerr, our old slugger, made some good hits. H. Kerr and Shinneman played a good game. Jones, our short stop, was full of pep the whole game. Wynn proved to be some batter and pitcher. The prospects are good for a successful season in 1915. Emmet Wynn, '16. GOOD TIIMES. X2 NS Ni The Senior Pa Pty. If ever you wish to find two very hospitable persons just come to me, I know. They are Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Bradley, of Rolla, Missouri. Why, they are so kind that on the evening of February sixth they opened their doors to the entire class of '15. And every one in our class who is gifted with sense, horse or otherwise, appeared as soon and left as late as any self-respecting, dignified Senior possibly could. Some of the less dignified ones, such as myself, arrived very early, and had some fun looking for some pretty girls in various annuals. When all had arrived except Sally and Wes, who never did show up, the party began. Mr. Bradley came in and began giving each one of us some money. We were all quite excited until we found it was a penny each, and it had to be given back. Did you ever stop to think what is on an Indian head penny? Well, we Seniors thinkd, thankd, thunkd, for nearly,-oh, I can't re- member, it seemed like all evening-before we answered the desired ques- tions. Dixie Harris thinks she is smart, just 'cause she made a hundred for answering all the questions correctly. Then we composed poetry about such poetic subjects as shuffling feet, pigs, torn stockings, etc. George should give up everything else, and de- vote his life to this noble calling. His verse was very touching. We Seniors can spell and pronounce almost any word. Just for a change we spelt the words backwards and then pronounced them forward. It sure was un. After that Mrs. Bradley led us to the dining room, not for eats, but to rescue our hearts. A large heart hung from the chandelier, and from this hung many little hearts on strings, one on each end of a string. We, in our impatience, got them all mixed up. Then Mrs. Buck came to our rescue and untied the knots, which bound our heart strings. Thus we found our partners for a dandy game of rook. Mr. Bradley and Velma were partners at the head table, and tho we told Mr. Bradley he should act properly, lose, and go foot, he did not catch the drift. After many exciting games we were told to stop, and the sight of napkins and the sound of silver told us that the hour had arriv. It may sound odd, but I do not think that I heard a single no, thank you. Those words seemed to have left us in the most needed hour. After we had eaten everything on the place, Mrs. Bradley greatly surprised us by bringing out some prizes. Dixie got a Miner's pin for the knowledge of what is on a penny, Clara got Red Pepper Burns for being the best rook player among us, and Mrs. Buck was given a booby prize for having the worst luck. Then we decided that it was high time to clear out. So, after ex- pressing in various ways our appreciation of the kindness of the Bradleys, we e t. This broke the record for the most thoroughly enjoyed party ever given for a graduating class of Rolla High School. DIXIE HARRIS, '15, TI-IE SENICJPQ F'EAST. We grew very tired of the same old things happening at the same old time, and chanced upon the idea of putting one over on Prof. by having eats instead of physics. We took Mr. Buck and Miss Via into our confi- dence, and they did not refuse us this bit of fun, so we went on with our preparations with fluttering hearts. Knowing from previous experience that the Juniors would watch their chance and try to break into the much beloved laboratory and swipe all of the eats, one of the class was ordered to guard the treasureweven with her life if necessary. 1 In the five minutes kindly given us by Mr. Buck we shoved books into drawers, piled them on shelves, and later even found some in the waste bas- ket. When this was done we made a B line for the place where our eats were hidden. We were not disturbed at all in our preparations, and when tlae guest of honor arrived we were ready for him, and the feast commenc- e . Among all the other good things we had were two boxes of nougat. Strange to say, one of them disappeared soon after the feast began, but af- ter a thorough search we found the box nearly empty in the drawer between George and Walter. We joked and talked until finally Mr. Bradley grew serious, and gave us the poem, Going It Alone, in the best manner possible. Also we heard of the Senior Party for the first time. Our Senior Class is such a liberal bunch that altho we did everything justice, there were still many good things left. The Sophomore German Class was then served, and they seem- ed very well pleased to get in on any of this, the first and best feast given this year by any class in dear old R. H. S. SARAH LENOX, '15, 'IGI-I E2 JLJBIICJI-Q H'E2AS'l'. On Friday, February 19, 1915, the Physical Geography Class enjoyed a grand feast. On each Friday a student of the class gives a talk on some subject per- taining to physical geography, but on this Friday we changed the program a little, by giving a feast instead. Another reason for the feast was be- cause this was Lorea Yowell's day to give the talk, and, as she had the long- est chapter in the book, we decided to give her another week, for Lorea is rather averse to making speeches. She did make a speech which suited the occasion, and which ended by inviting the class and Miss Via to a spread in the laboratory. ' Walter Scott, acting as toastmaster, first called upon Miss Via, who gave a very interesting talk on The Annual, and one thing she said, which we doubted somewhat, was My heart is wrapped up in the Annual, because we think it must have been in the feast. Emmet Wynn, our president, gave an excellent talk on behalf of athletics. Next, Mr. Bradley, always loyal to the school, explained to us The advantages of our High School. Then, as one having had experience, Helen Baysinger gave a short talk on Co-operation of Boys and Girls in the High School Work. Last, but in nowise least, came Eric Schuman, with his excellent reasons for Why We Should Have Feasts Often. Strategy is not always confined to aiairs in love and war, but can be used to good advantage in the High School, said Eric. This was proved today, when, with the aid of a step-ladder, we were enabled to get the 'eats' into the Lab. without Miss Via knowing it, for how should we have managed had it not been for the very low window in the dear old building. One thing that we did do that was slightly under-handed, was to drink all of the grape juice before we even thot of Mr. Buck, pegging along down stairs with the Freshman Latin Class, and having his mind all that time on the good things to eat, which were so near and yet so far. But at any rate, at 3 o'clock we invited him to come up, and his first question was, Where is the grape juice? Alas! we reckoned not that we were dealing with a wise man, when just before his coming we had filled his glass with clear, sparkling water. Our teachers were all smiles during the feast, which goes to prove that the old saying, The way to a man's heart is thru his stomach, is true. So, here's to the Junior Class, which, as Miss Via said, has been noted for its many stunts and good times all during its existance. GLADYS TONE PRYOR, '16. 'ICI-iIE2 SCJI-'I-ICDlXf1CJl'2E2 h'EAST. That Sophomore feast, such a feast as it was, it makes one hungry to think of it. The said feast took place in the Laboratory, which could right- ly be called Labrador, and was the envy of all the classes. Many were the students who wished that just for this one time they could become members of the remarkable Caesar Class, but the members of the remarkable Caesar Class took no notice of these underfed weaklings, and set about to make their feast a most elaborate one. My After a meeting of the class, at which time each member was cordially invited to contribute to the great event, preparations went merrily on. At last the day came. About half past twelve, fifteen famished looking students could have been seen entering the school with large, mysterious bundles. After seeing that the coast was clear, these same students hurried into the Lab., where the contents of the mysterious bundles were displayed, and the room was turned into a Fairy Banquet Hall. Artistic fingers soon made the table look as if it had indeed been touch- ed with a Fairy's wand. Just one more look at the scene, just one more smell of the grape juice, and leaving one member to guard the treasure, the others descended to the assembly room with innocent looking faces, as se- rene as if they had just entered the building. Nothwithstanding the fact that the Freshman Algebra Class sniied the pickle-scented air and cast long- ing glances at the ceiling, which, alas, revealed no secrets, they still retain- ed their solemn looks. When Mr. Buck had gravely placed his books be- neath his arm, and more gravely given the signal to pass upstairs, smiles began to appear on their faces, and by the time the class had reached the head of the stairs, faint snickers could be heard. However, the majority retained their composure, so that when Mr. Buck, who was the first to enter, came in, he found fifteen students standing at the back of their chairs be- fore a well-filled table. He was given the place of honor, and drank to the health of the class. After this every one sat down, and was helped to the abundant supply of eats by Ruth Keeling and Nancy Love. Clementine Maggi presided over the grape juice, which she placed beneath the open faucet for several minutes, much to the amusement of every one, but more to the satisfaction of Mr. Buck, for previously he had been given a glass. The remainder of the feast went on as most others do, unless Ruth Keeling's having had her hands in the salad could have been called an unusual occurrence. There is no need to say that the class did full justice to the feast, and if there is doubt of this the reader might inquire of the motley crew who rush- ed into the Lab. at the next period, and who kindly helped themselves. They certainly must have liked the menu, for when forty-five minutes later some members of the Caesar Class went to clean up the refuse, there was nothing to be found except paper napkins, plates and banana peelings. CLEMENTINE MAGG1, '17, The Glee C111 IJ. NS N2 N2 PROFESSOR BUCK, Director. ERIC SCHUMAN, President. OTTO KRUEGER, Secretary and Treasurer. The Glee Club was organized by a bunch of enthusiastic young musi- cians f?J to have a good time, and to furnish a little music for the mid-week exercises. As far as the good time part goes it has been a grand success, but about the other, I'll leave that to the student body. But we have suc- ceeded in mastering a few orchestral selections, which we can repeat over and over whenever occasion demands. As most of our music is instrument- al, and not vocal, we have been asked why this organization is called a Glee Club, but we simply answer, Because we have so much Glee. After we had closed down our first meeting, as the ground was cov- ered with snow and the coasting fine, we decided to have a coasting party. So a couple of bobs were procured, and we hit the high places for a good hill. We had a fine time, also a very exciting experience, caused by a few stray snowballs hitting a passing gasoline Wagon and causing some dis- turbance among the occupants. But one of the most delightful times we have had was at the party giv- en us by Miss Lorea Yowell Thursday evening, February 11. A few others were invited, so we gave them a little music, after which the evening passed very merrily playing rook, and games appropriate to St. Valentine's day. But the lunch was where we shined, or gobbled, maybe I should say. We wondered why it was that some of those long and slim fellows like Har- ry Zieseniss didn't get fat, if they ate like that all the time. It was getting quite late, and we were preparing to go home, when some one suggested that we go serenading. We immediately forgot how late it was, and decided to go. So, for some accompaniment we took along a couple of violins, a mandolin, and a guitar. The first victim to suffer was Prof. Buck. We tried to sing and wake him up, but that having no efect, we howled and howled until we were ex- hausted, and still we couldn't arouse him. So we had to give it up as a bad job. We were afraid of being arrested for disturbing the peace if we made any more hub-bub. Not by Prof, Buck, as he was sleeping soundly, but by the more easily disturbed neighbors. The next person to suffer was Prof. Bradley, and take it from me, he is some sound sleeper. Nothing seemed to have any eiect there, so we start- ed on for Miss Via's, thinking that, of course, it would be easy to arouse a lady, but there we got on the wrong side of the house, and our efforts were again vain, so we gave it up for that night. We then went home, all of us having had a mighty good time. So, as you can see, the Glee Club has given us many pleasant hours that will not soon be forgotten. Of course, we have been hampered this year from lack of room and time, but next year, when we get into THAT new H. S, building, we hope to accomplish greater things. JOKES.

Do your bestg angels can do no more. And so it has been with the Rolla-Hi Board in giving to the students and many friends of the Rolla High School this book. We have done our best, and if the humor falls short, and the serious aspects seem inadequate, be lenient. The question always before us in this book was, How can we make this, the first Rolla-Hi, vary from the usual trend of annuals, and also be in- teresting and dear to all Rolla students? In these pages we have tried to make the High School spirit live now and for all time to come. If, in the future, some picture, word or thought, causes a heart to grow lighter, and quickens the love we all have for the Rolla High School, we shall have real- ized our chief aim, and our work will not have been in vain. O, reader, this book is not without a purpose, and that a noble one. May it always keep alive in our hearts the spirit that prompted its existence. To those of Rolla High School it will be valued more for what it represents than for what it is. When time has wrought its changes then it will be that we shall treasure that which commemorates those happiest of days-our high school days. ACPCNCJ VV IJETLJC3 FI Nfl EQ NTS. We, the Editors of the Rolla-Hi, wish to express our appreciation to our many friends for their valuable assistance given us in publishing this, the first annual of the Rolla High School. We wish to thank Professor Buck, at whose suggestion this book originated, for untiring help we have received from him at all time. To Miss Via we are especially grateful for the kind- ly assistance given the Critic Committee, and for her services as treasurer. To Wesley Jones and Zoe Harris much of the success of this book is due for their art work, for which we are truly grateful. We thank you, one and all.

PROTECTION, in all its variations, is one of the most vital subjects that should be considered inamied- ucation of this day and time. Life, accident, health, fire, tornado and other kinds of insurance, history of land titles made into abstracts, are subjects that should be considered in our public schools, as each form a great part in the scheme of PROTECTION in which every one is interested.
