Can you imagine these as Seniors graduating this Spring? Out of this group of 41 youngsters we have only five of them, who will graduate. They are Mary Arnold, Thelma Petrey, Beryl Windmiller, Louise Wilkerson and Olive Ferguson. Some of them moved away, some dropped, and some are married. We lost others in our Freshman, Sophomore and Junior years. Page Eighteen v LEGENDE . SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Spring! Everything looked fresh and green in the early morning at old R. C. H. S. ln the distance there was a great cloud of dust and as it came nearer the other tribes, already in the great plains of knowledge, discovered that it was the Freshman tribe just entering. When the timid tribe entered R. S. H. S. it had forty-three full pledged gypsies. Although they made a slow and cautious entry, they grew bold as they became more ac- customed to their surroundings. With hearts willing -they tegan their work of gain- ing more knowledge. The first thing they did of any importance, was to choose a queen and her helper. Miss Duncan was crowned queen and Beryl Windmiller was appointed as her helper. Miss Duncan, as it happened, was a star gazer and she read in the stars a great future for all those who crossed the great plains of knowledge, toward the much sought for goal. graduation. As the Freshman gypsies lcecame more acquainted with the surrounding tribes they gave a party. It was held in the gym field and friendly relationships were es- tablished between them, the upper trites giving the new one a hearty welcome. As autumn came with her bright colors, the other tribes decided to hunt for greater things. Preferring to keep close to our old friends we moved on into the Soph- more field, just vacated by the Sophomore tribe for the Junior field. In doing this, some of the wagons were lost and among those lost were: A. Powers, Hull, Hodges, Hamilton, McConathy, R. Kemp, Jackson, Whitaker, McDonough, Bilger, Garner, Fil- son, F. Davis, Ballard, Burress, Garrison, Clark, Carmean, E. Windmiller, Hanaford, R. Davis and Rawlings. We found that some had remained at the Freshman field and some had wandered away by themselves or to other tribes. We had rather an uneventful year with the exception of two storms, known as semester examinations, that passed through our field. Some of our brave tribe was injured so, at this critical period, that they were requested, by the overseers of R. C. H. S. plains, to remain in the Sophomore field until they were able to proceed on their journey. Those injured wereg Filson, Fraley, Tucker, Patterson, Duncan and Yonker. Bernice Ohmart had to leave us because of bad eyes but she is now a member of the Junior tribe. A few left us to go to other tribes. They were: Murray, Har-t, Kelly, Trabue and Wallis. In June, inspired by our king, Mr. Duffin, and his helper Marjorie Florence, we gathered our tribe together and journed across the plains to the Junior field. By the time we had reached our destination, it was fall. Everything seemed dark and dreary but as we began our new du-ties, led by Mr. Foreman and Virginia Mc- Grew, we forgot the blackness of our surroundings and began to work toward our much longed for goal. To cheer things up a 'Weiner roast was suggested. Everyone enthusi- astically agreed, so we chose the city Reservoir as our camping grounds. Each member of the tribe took a guest and in a round of pleasure we were soon surrounded by a cheerful atmosphere. Only a few succeeded in completing their appointed duties and those who did moved on to the greater field known as Senior. Havelin and Mitchell were lost this time in moving across such rough country. Havelin, however, was stolen by another gypsy king, who carried her away to other plains. We found upon investigation that Gallman was also missing. There are now but fourteen of our noble tribe left. Those who are left are struggling, however, to reach the goal for which they have so long worked. It is now winter and everything seems dark and bare but we Seniors are proud, sophisticated gypsies and our queen, Mrs. Rawlins, and her helper, Thelma Petrey announced today that the graduation plains are in sight. Page Nineteen ,5-- M 5. fa LEGENDE This will be the highest plain attained by a few but we hope that in the future each of our fellow tribesmen may take his own individual wagon and make as successful a voyage over a vaster space of knowledge as he has in the minor plains of R. C. H. S In winter time it's straight and hard, The road to Knowledge Land, By Study Lane and School-book Place With pencil in your handg Your eyes must see, your ears must hear The things there are to learn, And never to the right or left Your little feet must turn. When the summer time is here oh, then You'll find that Flowery Way And Woodsy Path and Sunset Hill Will lead you day by day, If you will look and listen well And read on every hand The open books Dame Nature leaves, To that same Knowledge Land. -Gvrnlrlinc Kimnziff. 9?'

I D! ll 1 Before we left our gypsy camp Mother' Rawlins danced around the caldron and forsaw our futures in mists of steam which issued from this concoction. When Louise went to see Mother Rawlins she learned that she would be a fam- ous musician. Olive dancing through the woods came upon the camp when Mother Rawlins was at the caldron. The second mist held Olive's future. She will be the president of an old m'aid's meeting. The next to visit the mystic caldron were Marjorie and Beryl. They heard a strange muttering which they discovered was Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and caldron bubble. A mist appeared visible only to the eyes of our wise prop- hetess who told Marjorie that she would be a society queen in London and would enter- tain lavishly for one of our tribe. It must be Beryl because another mist appeared which foretold that Beryl would be Secretary of Labor and be sent to London. When Virginia went to bid her Mother farewell and to learn what the future Page Twenty-three LECENDE Ta . held for her, she learned that she would be a novelist. The vision showed her receiv- ing word of the success of her first book. Some of our band will wend their way through college.

Happy-go-lucky George visited the mystic caldron and learned that he was destined to become famous in Histori- cal Research. We hope that he will enjoy history better than he does now. The vapor mists were escaping fast when Myrtle went to learn her destiny. She will lead a merry life until she leads a more serious one teaching Physics in R. C. H. S. John sauntered along not caring much about his future. But a mist foretold that he would be a great statesman if he was a bachelor. It will be strange if he does not discover the key to some charming ladies' heart. Laughingly, Mary heard her fate. She will be a nurse, following in the foot- steps of Clara Barton. Two others entered the camp at the same time. One was Thelma who will make a promising financier, the other was a Ward. He will fall heir to an English estate. Both will do much for the camp where we spent four good years of our lives. The Siamese Twins will be separated. A mist placed Frances in Hollywood, a movie star. The last mist is for Geraldine. She will remain in Roodhouse and raise a family of true American citizens. We predict she will be most contented. -EUNICE GILLHAM.

ADDRESS OF WELCOME Parents, Teachers, Friends and Fellow Sfzcclcfnts- It is with great pleasure and appreciation that we welcome you here this after- noon to the Class Day exercises of the Class of '27. In the past we have recognized this day as one marking the first milestone on our journey of education. But now we realize that tonight is not the finish but the real beginning. We must press onward toward greater achievements. By your assistance we have our first achievements in the mysteries of educa- tion. We realize that we will soon leave our School Home to take up new and varied phases of life. In many cases, we realize, our education is the only capital we have with which to begin life, and for this we are chiefly indebted to our school. Some of us will continue our education by going to college. While perhaps others will take up some vocation which will be their life work. Parents, we feel on this day more than at any other time our debt of gratitude to you. We feel that we would never have been able to receive this education had it not been for your influence and sometimes your sacrifices. Friends, Teachers, we extend our most sincere thanks for your untiring efforts and the encouragement you have given us. There have been many times when we were undeserving of this interest and sympathy, never-the-less, you remained interested. Our hope is that we have not fallen short of your expectations. Your presence here this afternoon exemplifies your interest in the Class and in the promotion of educational ideals. In the name of the Class of '27 I bid you WELCOME. -THELMA PETREY.

Their caravan was new, their wagons freshly painted, and horses sprightly. The band was inexperienced, but was alert and ready to learn. Gordon Mc- Grew was chosen chief of the band and, with Miss Esther Duncan as their gypsy queen, the band started gayly and fearlessly off. They scored largely in athletic events and at the end of the year arrived safely at the end of their journey. CHAPTER TWO. Again the band set out down the long trail. They have learned all the sharp turns and curves in the road and once more are ready to combat with hardships. John Duncan was chosen chief but he dropped from the band and the dark belle, Gerry Reeve, took command. Miss Cravens was our fortune teller. We gained honors in athletics by winning the class basketball tournament and were well represented in other events. We finally reached our camping place in safety. CHAPTER THREE The third time the band set out down the old Romany road they were not so gay as before. They have realized the dangers and have gained much experience and knowledge. The caravan is patched and torn and the horses are rather weary but there is that same determination and will-power behind them. That fair belle of the camp, Virginia Merrill takes the reins this year with the youth, Mortimer Gilmore, and an an- other maiden, Mildred Neal, assisting her. Mrs. Wilkinson is the queen of the band this year. Few of the band have dropped out but the remaining ones are still faithful. They continue their various athletic activities and strive, as they again near the end of their journey, to make their band one of the strongest on the road. -Mildred Neal.

F RESI-IIVIEN CLASS HISTGRY After roving around eight years obtaining preparation and information, we were given diplomas which permitted us to become members of the higher band called Rood- house Community High School. In the Fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-six, sixty- five freshmen traveled out under the triumphantly floating colors, red and white to the large band called R. H. S. We had many struggles among ourselves but we were final- ly recognized as Freshmen. Although inexperienced, yet ready to study and assume the knowledge of our elders the seniors. We entered fearlessly and boldly among the laughs and jeers of the older gypsies. We selected Mr. Sammis as our advisor to lead our troup through the first nine months of studious learning and traveling. After several more days of considering we chose Otis Grizzle as our second leaderg Virginia Ricks, asst., or third leader and Ver- non Whitworth to keep the legende and our treasures. As we lost Otis Grizzle after a while we took Virginia Ricks as second leader and Jett Rhodes for her former place. The first days of traveling were hard and tedious because the experience was so very new to all of us. Many of our band were slow and found it hard to learn the new ways and customs, but we were becoming accustomed to our new surroundings and we were filling our places well. We are working as hard as the other groups, although they travel an entirely different course, under our leaders good and skillful directions we are safely past many obstacles that other bands could not pass. As the various neighboring camps become more friendly R. H. S. decided to hold a contest in football and basketball. The Freshmen gave Strang, Powers, Whitworth, Teeples, Mehroff, Campbell, Rhodes and Mitchell to help R. H. S. win the football con- test. We are also honored by Coffman, Mehroff, Rhodes, Campbell and Whitworth helping in basketball. At the large camp gathering the Freshmen have entertained and amused the other groups of gypsies with plays. After many days of deciding and planning we have decid- ed to give a large jubilee. Some members will not finish the journey with us but will go into other bands in far away camps or will be stolen. We have high aspirations for our band and we are striv- ing hard to reach our highest expectations. We are not hoping to accomplish the end of the Trail of knowledge in four years so we will be able to follow the trail of our Future.-Irene Arnold.

For the brain that sleeps will wonder If our work is what it seems. Our geography has lead us To the places we should know, Mr. Scott has been quite patient, Even when our trip was slow. Then Miss Allen and Miss Lashmet, Each has strived to do her best In arithmetic and history, Reading, English and the rest All too soon our school days vanish When life's work is just begun, Shall our lives be clean or tarnished? Each must answer for his own. Then for our class of 27 Please give a hearty cheer, And pave the way for happy days. For the class that comes next year. Page Forty sc, an -Vesta Bates.

Is here bequeathed to youthful life To 1'oam through Knowledge Land. Past the peaks of education And through a maze of roads That lead to great achievements Where King Knowledge has abode. The trail may seem so wearisome That some may drop the task But those witty gypsy spirits work- Their way they never ask. Just to travel through life's learning fields And gleam some useful facts, Is enough contentment for these bands Of youths on knowledge tracts. May they keep that spirit burning That urges us to gain, Keep alive a thirst of knowledge, Let our education reign. -Lucille Wyatt . fer LEGENDE JUNIOR HIGH HISTORY This certain band of Gypsies, consisting of about one hundred twenty-five members, have made a tour of six lanes when one evening, we came upon a seventh which looked very favorable. The leaders of our band on this journey were the Misses Lewis, Lashrnet, Dun- can and Bickers. But shortly after we started Miss Bickers joined a member of an- other band and Mrs. Spencer filled the vacancy for a few weeks until Mr. Scott joined us as we traveled on down Gypsy Lane. Miss Lewis with an experienced hand guided us through the village of Arith- metic and History, while the villages of English and Reading were shown to us by Miss Lashmet. Miss Duncan was our Gypsie musician and accomplished much with the musi- cal members of the band. She supervised all our musical numbers contesting in the Greene County Junior High Meet. Mr. Scott, as our leader through Geography and Orthography, proved himself very capable and gave us much pleasure with our work. In the Greene County Meet we have always scored well. Last year we won two Athletic Banners in Class A and Cg and three Gold Medals representing the highest number of individual points, Classes A and C. This year 419275 we did not have to change our course as this trail led farther toward our goal. But having lost half our band to the High School last May, we re- placed it by a new band of Seventh Graders this fall. Miss Lewis' ambitions for higher education took her from us and she, accord- ingly, joined the band at Normal, Illinois. We still had the good fortune to have Miss Lashmet, Miss Duncan and Mr. Scott as our commanders, and to these we added Miss Allen to direct us through the vil- lages of History and Arithmetic, which she has done very efficiently. With the exception of a few losses we have kept our band together during our journeys. Though we wish to reach our goal we dislike to leave our Dear Old Junior High.-Rhea Hopkins.

This old proverb certainly comes true in the case of Coach. Although small in stature, Coach was full of energy and worked hard to give Roodhouse High winning teams. Due to his -training our basketball team passed a most successful season. Coach is sincerely admired by all the fellows, who Worked with him on the athletic field and also by all the students. Page Fifty-three LEGENDE . v' -'- vw GEORGE KEMP. Hootch as fullback and captain was the pillar of the team. His mighty plunges were hard to stop.

Basket Ball Season The 1926-27 basketball season was undoubtedly the most successful ever exper- ienced by the Roodhouse High. Under the direction of Coach Sammis the team improv- ed rapidly throughout the season and became a team of real caliber. We won second place in the County Tournament and were defeated in the second game of the district tournament by Jacksonville only after a hard game. Much interest was shown by both students and town people and this was a great boost to the team. We played fifteen games, winning six and losing nine. Our first game was played against Pearl on December 17. They had been playing all fall and defeated us in a close game. January 7 we played Whitehall at Whitehall. They won from us by a score of 21-12. Coach could not seem to find a satisfactory combination and the team played rather ragged. January 14. Murrayville here. Murrayville was known as one of the best teams in this section and were planning on beating us rather badly. The game was rather fast and rough. We played one of our best games, leading 3-2 at the end of the half. In the last half their ability to make free throws put them ahead and -they won 12-10. Hull and Mclver played an exceptionally fine game. January 22. Greenfield there. The game was fast but our defense was weak and they defeated us 28-16. Failure to stop Saxton, star forward, was the chief reason of our defeat. January 28. Patterson here. Patterson was a very easy team' and we won from them by a score of 31-4. The entire team was hitting the basket with McGrew leading the scoring. February 4-5. Greene County Tournament. February 11. Patterson here. This game was a duplicate of the previous one. We ran over them to the tune of 42-14. Mehroff and McGrew dropped the ball through from all corners. February 18. Whitehall here. Whitehall was primed for revenge and the game was fast. Again our opponent's ability to drop free throws through the loop cost us the game. They won out by a score of 14-10. Mclver and McGrew were both taken from the game due to fouls. The largest crowd of the season attended. February 22. Carrollton there. The game was our from the start and we won 18-6. The team' showed very good work and scored most of the points on shots under the basket. Hull played a very creditable game. February 26. Greenfield here. This was another close game, with Greenfield winning 12-9. The game was fast from the start and was not decided until the very last. Mackey carried the attacks for us. March 5. Routt High at Jacksonville. Routt was undoubtedly the strongest team we encountered during our season. They were fast and had a very deceptive offense. We played one of our best games but lost 27-20. Captain Gilmore led our scoring and played his best game. March 10-11-12. District Tournament at Jacksonville.

Their victory was won with very little effect as the team was made up of almost all of the first string men who played for R. H. S. The first game played on the evening of the 22nd was between the Juniors and the Freshmen. The Juniors winning with a score of 27-12. The second game of the evening between the Seniors and Sophomores was won by the Seniors 15-1. The Seniors in this Tournament had a rather hard time finding a team. When they finished they had at least one man out of every class, including a post- graduate. On the evening of the 23rd the Juniors and Seniors clashed to determine the winner of the Tournament. As fate would have it, the Juniors came out on top with a score of 23-9. The game at the end of the first quarter promised to be one hard game, the score being 4-4 but the Seniors showed lack of practice and from then on the Juniors had a walk away. This same evening the Freshmen and Sophomores battled to determine who would get third and fourth places. The Freshies won a decisive victory 26-0. Page Sixty-one If 'sf LEGENDE Greene County Basket Ball Tournament The Greene County Basket Ball Tournament was inaugurated at Whitehall, February 4-5. This is to be an annual event and is a big boost to county athletics. Roodhouse played her first game Friday afternoon. We defeated Hillview 14-8. The game was slow and the team seemed to have lost their basket eyes. Our second game was against Whitehall on Saturday morning. They had defeated us earlier in the season and expected to repeat in this game. The game was fast from the start but we were playing in top form and ran over them to the tune of 17-8. This was indeed an upset as Whitehall had been pictured as winner of the Tournament. We met Greenfield in the finals Saturday night. She out played us completely in the first half of the game and the score stood 11-0. In the second half we came to life and even out scored them but we could not overtake their large lead and they won the chamiponship by a score of 17-8. We received a banner as second trophy. L DL ll I District Tournament The District Tournament was held at Jacksonville March 10-11-12. Seven- teen team entered and this was one of the largest and best meets in the state. Rood- house played its first game Friday morning against Carrollton. In the first half the regulars ran away from Carrollton and the Coach substituted the second team who con- tinued the rest of the game. The final score was 28-9. We played our second game on Friday night against Jacksonville. In the first part of the game the team seemed badly rattled and through our offense was creditable Jacksonville repeatedly worked through our defense for easy shots. The first half ended 21-10, favor of Jacksonville. In the second half of the game the team came back and completely outplayed Jacksonville but we were unable to overcome their lead score and the final score was 28-22. Jacksonville won the tournament in the last game by defeating I. S. D. 20-17.

The class began training the second semester. The eighth period each Monday and Wednesday were spent in the gym by all the girls who desired to take the work. Part of the time was spent in marching and exercises and the remainder in games and fun. Many of the girls stayed after the regular class period for basketball pract- ice. Girls rules were used in the game played. There were about fifty girls present. This off minutes brought about relaxation and rest from the days work and study. All work and no play makes Jill a dull girl. The basket ball helped to emphas- ize cooperation and true sportsmanship. An exhibition of the work done by the girls was given at the class tourn- ament. The class this year has been a great success. We hope there will be one the following years.

The organization was formed as a support and boost for all student activities. It is not a body of students for governing: puiposes as most organizations under this name ale, but it is formed only as a nucleus for interests in school affairs. The charter group was composed of the officers of the respective classes and also two students from each class. Mr. Moore formed the constitution which was dis- cussed and accepted by the Council.

FOOTBALL BANQUET '26 Probably the crowning event of the 1926 season was the annual feed given the squad by the mothers on November 18. The dining room of the Methodist Church basement was beautifully decorated in red and white, the High School colors, the same color scheme being used on the table. The old faithful football that had seen service in all the season's games occu- pying the place of honor, was suspended over the center of the table by red and white ribbons. The place cards were small rubber footballs with the players' nicknames in print. Places were laid for eighteen but when appetites could be denied no longer and the whistle blew for the kick-off Captain Kemp's place was vacant. Eve-ry one felt confident that he could be relied upon to te in at the finish of the game, and running true to form, he arrived during the last period , and made a smashing drive through center and left his adveisary fthe chicken platterj completely vanquished. Six High School girls acting as Waiters presided in the dining room. Coach Sammis, acting as toastmaster, made the after dinner hour especially entertaining. Short talks were given by Rev. Armstrong, Supt. Moore, and Mrs. Mc- Grew responded to the toast Mothers given by Coach Sammis, Miss Duncan gave several lovely voice numbers during the evening. When the men rose from the table they gathered around the piano and lustily tif somewhat laboriouslyb sang We're Loyal to You Roodhouse High . Then another dinner was served. The men charged on the kitchen i'squad , led the mothers and girls to -the dining room, seated them, donned aprons and served them in royal style. -V. Ricks. Page Seventy LECENDE fa . ANNE WHAT'S HER NAME Anne-What's-Her-Name , one of Walter Ben Hare's latest mystery comedies, was successfully given before a large audience on February 1 by the Public Speaking Class of Roodhouse Community High School, under the direction of Mrs. Thelma Wil- kinson. This was the first play of the school year, and afforded the public an evening of exceptional enjoyment. The cast must be greatly credited for the unusual smooth- ness and the dramatic excellence they achieved. Virginia Merrill, taking the part of Mooney, and Myrtle Strawmatt, as Grandma Bumby, seemed to please everyone very much because of their humor. All of the cast, in fact, showed excellent dramatic ability. No professionals could have been more at ease on the stage than the follow- ing cast: Anthony Wheat fTonyj A victim of circumstance Burkes, a dignified valet ........................

The Roodhouse Concert Band was organized in 1904 under the name of The Roodhouse Juvenile Band with the late Mr. George M. Wyatt as director. Mr. Wyatt was a well known figure in musical circles at that time and the originator of the first High School Orchestra in Roodhouse. At that time there were in enrolled about 35 members. This organization served the community from 1904 until 1908 when it was reorganized under the caption of the Rawlins Concert Band, named after its newly ap- pointed director, Dr. Leon A. Rawlins R. H. S. '05, who had played piccolo in the form- er organization. The new band was very ably and successfully handled by the new dir- ector and became very widely and favorably known as a band organization throuout Central Illinois. It continued under this name and leadership until forced to make a change by the removal of Dr. L. A. Rawlins from Roodhouse when it was again reor- ganized and in 1923 became known as The Roodhouse Concert Band with Geo. L. Berry, R. H. S. '06 as director under whom it is now. The Band has been the only organization of this kind to serve the community for so long a time, 23 years, without a break even holding together throughout the World War although many served in the Army and Navy. During the period the Band has served under the present regime it has been greatly and ably assisted by the late Mr. J. Bart Johnson, former organizer and director of the Jacksonville Community Band and thru his untiring efforts and the co-operation of the school board and faculty and sponsored by the Concert Band, the Junior High School consisting of students from the Junior High and Community High was formed to help musically in the school life to form a reserve for the Concert Band. The main object of the Band has been to pro- mote the love for music and good fellowship among the toys. It is an evident fact that it has succeeded in this undertaking from the length of time it has thrived. Among the 40 members of the Concert Band enrolled at the present time are Dr. O. L. Edwards, Pres. of the Community High School Board and a member of R. H. S. '05 and Lee E. Freetoof R. H. S. '03. The band has become very popular throughout this section of the state and is the only surviving band in Greene County having several members from White Hall, Carrollton, Kane and Patterson. The Roodhouse Concert Band has always been glad to serve Roodhouse Community High School whenever possible. Page Sc,verLty-fllree E fer LEGENDE ROODHOUSE SCHOOL AUXILIARY The School auxiliary has had a very successful year. The activities of the society have been concentrated into two lines. First: It has entered into the wider field represented in the educational program as outlined by the State Parent T'eacher's Association. The purpose of these programs has been to give the parents an insight into some of the practical problems of education and if possible, enable them to keep up with the thought and practice of the Public School. The parent must participate in the educational process at every step of the way, through sympathy, understanding and cooperation they can help to make that process a real success. Second: The auxiliary has performed a distinctive educational service in bring- ing into being the Free Public Library. Though this is but a modest beginning, if it is properly fostered by the citizens it will soon grow into as fine a library as any city of this size. A free public lil rary is second only to the school as an educative agency in the community. Books are a vital necessity to the people in a small city no less than to those who enjcy access to the great libraries in the large cities. The direction and control of the library has been transferred to the city. The constitution of the society has leen amended, providing for the election of the oflicers at the last meeting in the school year instead of the opening of the new year. This will enable the programs and service of tlie auxiliary to have a better coordination with the opening of school in the Fall. The society seeks to pursue the geacrll purposes of a Parent Teachers Asso- ciation. It does not desire -to interfere with the regular educational agencies but str'ives to promote a better understanding letween parents and teachers and to broaden the general educational purposes of the community. L . I ,,,,.,..lL I PUBLIC SPEAKING What is Public Speaking? lt has been defined as speaking to a collection of individuals and that is the thing we of the Pulrlic Speaking Class have been doing. We have been striving to attain those qualities: clearncss, force and earnestness, which contribute to true eloquence which, as Webster has said, comes, if it comes at all, like the outbreaking of a fountain from the ear th or the bursting forth of volcanic fires with spontaneous, original, nature force. We have tried through our declamations, our orations, our extemporaneous speeches and our plays to acquire this art of public speaking, but we realize that we cannot fully attain it in one short school year. We must proceed with it-set our goal and work conscientiously toward it. It has been said that speakers are born not made. Perhaps this is so, but we know that we have at least qualified some distinguished speakers in our class and we rest assured that they will prove their ability in later life.-M. N.

Without it the school would be simply the sum of the purposes, aspirations and efforts of the individual teach- ers and students. This school spirit, this loyalty by the student body and faculty, unifies and makes effective all the various elements that go to make up Rood- house Community High School. Without it there could be no school life other than the mere routine of lessons and recitations. Cooperation between the faculty and student body is necessary in the promotion of this spirit. If the faculty does not encourage it they fail as a fac- ultyg if we, the student body, do not respond to this encouragement we fail to do our part, in either part the school fails. For four years it has been the privilege, as well as the du-ty, of this the graduating class of nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, to uphold the honor and traditions and to promote the spirit of Roodhouse Community High School. We have made many mistakes but we have done our best to leave the school better than we found it. Even our mistakes have not been in vain, for coming classes will profit by them, and as we leave the school our wish is that other classes may strive as hard as we have striven to promote the Spirit of the School, and that their success be greater. L ll ll l ATHLETICS Athletics holds a very high place in the hearts of Roodhouse Community High Schcol students. We honor those who wear R's because it means that, through their work and in spite of disappointments, they have earned the right to represent their school. We honor our teams, for, whether they win or lose, they battle for the glory and honor of Roodhouse Community High School. The real volume of athletics in our school is not that it developes fifty cr more boys physically, not that it trains teams which bring back honors to the school, but that it enables us to forget the petty costs and differences among our- selves in the loyalty to the institution to which we belongg it saves us from mag- nifying unduly, the faults of that institution, and it affords us our greatest op- portunity to develop the Spirit of Roodhouse Community High School. In our excitement at a game in our intense desire that Roodhouse win, we forget our rivalries and our ancient feuds, we remember only that we are one big school, and that each one of us is but a small part of -the institution. It seems that much money is spent on our athletics, but if we make the most of the opportunity that afford us to develop school spirit, in spite of the cost, it is not money misspent. Page Seventy-fifvc LEGENDE .. OUR SCHOOL HOURS Between nine o'clock in the morning, And four in the afternoon, Are the hours of the day's occupations That are over and gone too soon. I hear in the school room about me The patter of many feet, The drumming of pencils and whispering And the noises that can't be beat. From the seat I see all alcout me Books, pencils and papers galore, Allen, Scott, Lashmet instructing! Under the supervision of Mr. Moore. The buzzer, and then the passing, To our various classes we go To recite our poorly learned lessons, Yet expecting to pass, I know. A sudden desire to study! A sudden desire to play! And oun school days pass unheeded. That they are passing away. They fill the years of childhood With pleasure and Joy, I know, But Oh, how we worry our teachers When our lessons we do not know. Do you think when you enter High School, Because we have passed Junior High, We can serve what confronts us there Without so much as Try? Our school mates we hold in our memory And will not let them depart, But when our school days are over We'll cherish them in our heart. Our teachers we'll keep them forever Yes, forever and a day, Till the years have passed in great numbers, And our hair has all turned gray. -Ellsworth Marsh. fApp0logies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellowj Page Seventy-six awe LEGENDE GYPSY SWEETHEARTS When the war was over James Bancroft, changed in body and mind, re- turned to his aristocratic English home. He had acquired a limp that would prob- ably be permanent and a restlessness that would not permit him to tarry long in any one place. ' Lord Bancroft was very eager that his only son should make an early marriage. He insisted that he was getting too old to manage the vast estate, and that James should marry some nice girl from among their circle of friends and settle down in Bancroft manor. In a very short time society, and its demands grew very irksome to young James Bancroft, and one fine summer morning his mother discovered a note at his breakfast plate which read: Dear Mater:- Am off for a ramble4can't stand the gaff any longer. Guess I'm a born Vagabond, but it's a great life. Don't worry. When I can face civilization again I'll be home. Love to you and Dad, Jimmie. In the southern part of England in one of the most picturesque localities to be found in the whole country there was camped a band of gypsies. True to Roman folks they were, and so easily were they settled it seemed that they were in no huriy to take the road again. Rossita, the beautiful fearless young grand-daughter of old Rosa, who had ruled the band for many years, was 'the one disturbing element in the whole clan. It was she who was constantly causing trouble in one way or another. She could not enter one of the villages without attracting the attention and admira- tion of some gallant. But if he sought her later at the camp and pressed his at- tentions, half of the clan were ready to do battle for the lovely Rossita. Con- sequently old Rosa was constantly worried about his grand-daughter and often wished that Rossita would give her heart to one of the young Romani Ri. No one remembers how Jimmie made his advent among them. He came as a friend and was accepted as one and although he admitted no Romani blood in his veins he proved brother as judged by the gypsy. Soon it was evident that something had delayed his departure, and as days lengthened into weeks a feeling of uneasiness seemed to settle over old Rosa and her little band of followers. But not so with Rossita. Never had she seemed more contented. She even failed to create the usual excitement when the band wandered 'through the next village. At length it was old Rosa who took matters in hand, determined to end the affair. It was his wish that Rossita marry one of her own blood. But the issue ended as any issue with Rossita was bound to end, in Rossita having her own way and in this instance, her way being Jimmie's way, hey were speedily married. lt was several days later that Jimmie chanced to pick up a paper that had found its way into camp and was startled at his own likeness staring at him on the front page and a reward offered for any information of his where about. Reading further he learned that his father, Lord Bancroft, had died and the world was expecting the wandering son and heir to return to his home and as- sume the responsibilities that were rightfully his, and his heart was heavy at the thought of the sorrow and worry he had caused his aged mother. It was no small matter to explain all to Rossita and old Rosa, for they did not know that Jimmie was anything but plain Jimmie Bancroft, and when they learned that Rossita would be a titled English woman excitement ran high. fContinued on Page 893 Page Seventy-.seven Vmfil 4 4 ,. ..... .. 1 51 l 1 4 1 I I L M N EGENDE ..

Mc. 1 9 I ,M . .- LEGENDE ON TI-IE ROMANY ROAD I was awakened one soft summer night-oh, long years ago-by strange stealthy noises, as of a caravan creeping slowly by my Father's house. I wondered that our dog, Fido, did not bark, and the fact of his not doing so added to the mystery. I could hear the hens that were roosting in the old cherry tree by the front fence whispering in low, startled notes to each other, :md down by the pond a duck quacked once. very very sleepily. So in the morning when I came down I was not surprised to hear that a band of Gypsies was camp- ing in the old stone quarry. I really knew nothing about gypsies but the very sound of the word had al- ways given me the strangest sensations, and I could not quickly enough get away to visit them. Ah! those gypsies! What a splendid band it was. What strings of sleek horses they had, manes and tails bedecked with ribbons and wondrous designs of plaited straw. And the great covered wagons, houses on wheels, larger than the largest farm-wagon, the sides divided into panels on which were painted the love- liest, shiniest pictures of such flowers and landscapes as man's mortal eye had never beheld. And over the narrow doors and high perched little windows hung long draperies of white lace. And the tents-some white and glistening in the morning sun, while others, more interesting still, were patched and weather stain- ed. Over the fires, suspended from heavy curved iron bars, hung black pots and kettles, and from these came savory odors as they were tended by dark, wrinkled old women with wild elf-looks and gaily covered handkerchiefs thrown over their heads. Dark, foreign looking men sprawled at length beneath the wagons, smok- ing or sleeping, and, I remember, it seemed very strange to me to see a man sleeping in the daytime. A troop of children played about, or gathered brambles from the surrounding woods, and, to my amazement, I could understand no word of theirs. The band remained there a couple of weeks, and among them it was my good fortune to make the acquaintance of a boy of my own age. I was disap- pointed when I learned that his name was Tom, it did not seem to fit him at all, and I suspected that among his people he had another one. I asked him which of the women was a queen, but he failed to understand me. Still, I believed that somewhere, lurking in the dark interior of van or tent, was a beautiful woman, possibly with some kind of a crown on her head, who was their queen. And all in due time, like a dream, they passed away, as did my childhood, youth and early manhood, and the great cities of the world swallowed me, until green fields, running brooks, woods and flowers seemed things of books, and the wild, dark skinned people that pitched their tents among them belonged only to the theatre and the page of romance. But there came a time. at last, when I was very weary of all the great cities could promise me, and I turned back to the open country, not in my own land, but far beyond the waters, and one day I followed the windings of a pleas- ant meadow stream, or rested on the mossy bank in the cool shadows of the sil- very willows. By the edge of the far-stietching moorland my eye lazily noted a thin line of white smoke that hung like a silent signal, and my feet almost unconsciously turned toward it. A green heron arose at my approach and with a hoarse, hol- low croak flapped heavily a short distance down the stream and disappeared once more among the reeds. I was anxious to observe his movenments and his native Page Eighty-five . me LEGENDE haunts, and crept warily in his direction. I was a long time finding him, and only did so when my eye caught the lightning movement of his neck as he plunged his javelin-like beak into the water. When he withdrew it, I saw that he had some struggling thing in its relentless grasp. There was a moment's convulsive movement of the long throat, a light, hollow clattering of the bill, and then again, he stood motionless. I suppose I watched him a long time, fascinated, marveling at his patience and his accuracy of aim. I forgot everything else-the busy world, the long walk back to the village, and the thread of white smoke-when I was suddenly awakened by the bark of a dog. The Heron took wing and flew heavily away. I arose, and looked over the reeds across the water in the direction of the disturb- ing sound that had broken the perfect silence. Like a flash came back the memory of that night when I heard the gypsies passing by my father's house, and I thrilled again with the joy of feeling the old nomad still strong within me. Two heavily built white horses stood on the edge of the stream, one was nibbling at the moist, rich grass, while the other, with raised head, looked inquir- iingly in my direction. A young girl stood by their heads, holding a rough rope halter. At her bare feet, though a little in advance, like a gallant protector, was an alert' little collie pup, one daint foot raised, ready, poised for anything that might happen. Just over the brow of the gentle slope that led down to the stream was the dark body of a closed van, and beside it a weather-beaten circu- lar tent. A couple of dark figures hovered over a small fire. My heart throbbed as I murmured: A gypsy camp! Real Romanies of the old sort. The girl's face was warm and dark, and from beneath the yellow handker- chief thrown loosely about her head, her hair showed inky black. A few moments she stood there, and then with a skillful hand, the wheeled the two clumsy horses, and with the puppy frisking and barking in front of her, hastened away to the camp. I longed to talk with the gypsy band and looked upstream to discover if by any chance there might be some means of crossing to the other side, but seeing no signs of a bridge or ford, and that the night was closing in, I turned homeward. How eagerly I awaited the coming of the morrow, when I might hasten to make acquaintance with the tent-dwellers on the lonely moor! I refreshed my memory with what gypsy lore I possessed, and even dreampt of spending the whole morning with these free people of the field and roadside. But alas! in the morning such a storm beat across the moor as made it quite impossible to ven- ture forth. The next morning, however, was bright and clear, and slinging my sketch- ing outfit over my shoulder, I hastened away. This time I, of course, was on the opposite side of the river, and I strained my eyes to catch a glimpse of the signal smoke. But the sky was empty, and over the moor was a wondrous silence, not even my friend, the Heron, welcomed me with a harsh croakg and when at length I arrived at the brow of the slope where the tent and van had stood, I found a few smoke-blackened stones embedded in cold, wet ashes. The gypsies had fared on along the Romany road.

But ere they departed, she gained a promise from Jimmie to bring the little Rossita back to them sometime. The record of Rossita's conquests of Jimmie's mother, and aristocratic freinds would take too long to relate, but her beauty and quaint Romani charm captivated them all. Some say she may be seen dashing madly across the country on her horse to be gone for several hours, only to return to sad and quiet, but to Jimmie she is ever the lovable Rossita. Once a year as the leaves turn red and gold in the Autumn, Rossita and her husband take a vacation and their closest friends do not know just where they are. They leave in their car, but if one followed them far enough he could find the car left at some way side inn for they have proceeded on foot and lost themselves in the lovely downs of Southern England. Perhaps they follow the ancient pattern of their clan. Who knows? But they find their way into camp and for one short month they become Gypsy Sweet- hearts again.-V. Ricks. Page Eighty-seven N I .-A s ' E at LEG EN DE VVI-lO'S WHO? The modern girl, said young Tommy Kidwell, addressing himself to his sister Sue, and eyeing her with great disgust, f'The modern girl is a cross between a circus clown and a centipede-a funny face and all legs! Sue didn't bother to look up from the magazine which she was reading. To your corner, Tommy, to your corner! She chided him in a lazy drawl that further annoyed the irate Tommy. Look at you, he exploded. 'AA fellow likes to be proud of his sister, but there's sure something wrong with this picture, hair cropped like a dog had chew- ed on it, lips painted on, eyebrows pulled out, dress so tight you can hardly sit in it, and legs always sticking out from the knees down! At this brotherly criticism of herself, Sue flung the magazine to the folor in sudden rage. Well, what I think of the modern boy wouldn't brighten your day any, she announced. Trousers flapping like a scare-crow in the wind, always slouching along, coat collar turned up, hat brim turned down, Heaven only knows how you get byln Oh, I get around all right, Tommy retorted, But I sure can't understand the mental workings of a guy that rushes you! Plenty of them do. Sue snapped. Hush, children, hush, said Mrs. Kidwell, from the desk where she was writing. He makes me sick, Mama-so 'darn' conceitedf' Sue announced. I'll call your bluff, Tommy. I'll bet you my allowance this week that I can make a bigger conquest at the Junior Mask Ball tonight than you can. Is that a go? I'll call you, Tommy said. Mom, you can hold stakes and name the rules. And if I don't make a better Romeo than Sue does a Juliet, I'll kiss my five spot good-bye for this week. Mrs. Kidwell laughed, and put the two five dollar bills that were the allow- ances of Tom and Sue for the week into an envelope. Here are the rules of the contest, she said. You are each to mask so as to disguise your identity entirely, and in your conversation pretend to be strangers, so that no past successes may influence your conquest. Disquise your voices, and, Sue, before the dancing starts, you may have a committee of three girls help you to decide on the most fascinating gentleman present, to woo and win if you can! Tommy, three other boys must agree on your choice of the most charming lady present, before you start your courtship. Tomorrow morning you will report to me, and I will decide which has made the more successful headway in this Contest of Hearts. 'Okay, Tommy assented, I'll win. The extending his hand to Sue, Let's shake on it, ole girl. YF P14 P51 Pk all FK Pls The next morning after the Junior Mask Ball, Tommy was the first to ar- rive a-t the breakfast table. He greeted his mother with enthusiasm. She's the most wonderful girl, Mother, he said. Honestly, I've never met anyone like her. Real golden hair, and sorta little and graceful, and boy, how she can dance! Not dumb, either, like all girls around here. She really has brains. Why gosh, she could talk on subjects I've never even heard of. She liked me, too, I know, for she promised to meet me at the Park tennis courts at ten o'clock. Then she's to till me her name and where she lives and I'm going to date her up for the rest of t e summer. That's wonderful, Tommy, his mother said, now here comes Sue, it's only fair that you should withdraw while she reports her conquest. Sue was bubbling over when she came into the breakfast room. She kissed her mother, did a few gay steps of the Black Bottom , and then sang out gaily, I wish you'd give me that ten right this minute, Mother. I've won with a walk- away. I didn't see Tommy all evening, I was too busy-the most fascinating boy, Mother. Honestly, I didn't know they existed in this day and age. He had the most courtly manners, and he was so sophisticated. I'm sure he must be one of the University boys whose parents have summer cottages at the lake. He wouldn't tell me his name, or anything, but I K-N-O-W he fell for me, and I have a tennis date with him at ten o'clock this morning. Oh, it's almost ten o'clock now, I'm off to the Park. Sue grabbed a caramel roll from the breakfast table, leaving her mother astonished and chuckling. Page Eighty-nine LEGENDE as . This is too good, Mrs. Kidwell said to herself, Tommy and Sue meeting their dates at the same place. I hope they're civil to each other. The morning passed quickly, but Mrs. Kidwell was eager for the children to return. They quarrel so, she thought regretfully, but theyld fight F-O-R each other, so I guess I shouldn't worry if they fight W-I-T'-H each other. A sound of hilarious laughter ended her thoughts. The front door slam- med. Tommy and Sue came rushing in. They were rocking with mirth. Tommy had his arm around his sister. Meet the most wonderful girl in the world, Mom , he said. t'And the most fascinating boy, Mama, cried Sue. He had me fooled completely. Where'd you get that blonde wig, Susie Tom demanded. You were keen. Didn't know you had it in you. Mrs. Kidwell was well pleased. Well, who wins, children ? she asked. Why-why, I should think that I-- Sue began, but Tommy interrupted her with: No doubt in the world but that I- Mrs. Kidwell laughed again. That's easy enough to decide, she said. I should say that I won. And here's a little gift for you both. -Jane Scott. I f ll 'LTI 43 IVIIRACULOUS MEMORIES I can remember so many strange things that is preposterous. For example, I recall General Lee. He cannot deny it. It was back in '42 that I was on one of the notorious campaigns of the hundred years war. Lee was shot in this cam- paign-didn't seem to give up the juleps. In spite of his bow-legs, he was a fine looking youngster with his big muscles, big blonde eyes, and his big ears. Lee always had a sparkling epigrarn for every occasion. Once a favorite of his died of whooping cough, Ah , says Lee, tossing off a bromo-seltzer. Death took him off, but it cured his cough . His was a keen sense of humor-a bit of a philoso- pher, too. I remember some clever quips he pulled in the charge of the light bri- gadeil was one of the rougher riders in his regiment-that were mainly respon- sible for all that was left of them, left of six hundred. We were rushing the Amazons and pressed them pretty hard. I heard Lee's cool steady voice crying in the wilderness. 'LTwo is a company, but give me a regiment of these . Then chivalry got the better of him, as he shouted in his rich Southern accent Veni, Vidi abii , and he ordered a retreat. I could tell you more if space permitted, for to quote Lee, there are more things in Heaven and earth than are dreamt of your philosophy , or You ain't heard the half of it, dearie .

He has risen, and sheds u fire, That makes America aspire. Even now, as when in life he led, He leads us onward from the dead, Yes, over the whole wide world he wends To make the world u world of friends. -By Edward Markham. , On May 16, 1860, the Republican National Convention met at Chicago. There 'was a number of political workers beside a great number of outside dele- gates in the city. They spent two days in organization and the adop-ting of a platform. On the following day they held the convention. Until the night be- fore, Seward's nomination seemed certain, but Lincoln had a chance from the out- siders. His friends were chiefly men of Illinois in which they held the convention. There were four hundred sixey-five votes, of these two hundred thirty- three were necessary for a nomination. On the first ballot Seward had one hun- dred seventy-three and one-half, and Lincoln stood second with one hundred two. Although Seward stood at the head, it looked as if Lincoln would win. The third ballot showed that Lincoln had received three hundred sixty-four votes. In a short time Lincoln received a telegram announcing that he had re- ceived the nomination. He did not wait long to receive the congratulations of his friends but said, There is a little woman over on Eighth Street who will be glad to hear the news, if you will excuse me I'll go and tell her. They elected Abraham November 6. On Monday morning, February 11, 1861, the day before Abe's fifty-second birthday, after making his farewell ad- dress to his many friends and neighbors he left Springfield with his family and went to Washington. A number of men guarded Lincoln while going to Wash- ington. His inauguration was on Monday, March 4, 1861, and he delivered a won- derful address. Ex-President Buchanan accompanied him to the White House and wished him peace and happiness. Lincoln took the Presidential Chair in a dark, stormy -tirr1e,because they made vast preparations for a war in the South. About six weeks afterwards, General Beauregard demanded the surrender of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. Major Anderson refused to surrender the fort and it was attacked April 12, 1861. This act united the North. Lincoln called a special session of Congress which met on July 4. At the same time he Page Ninety-two LEGENDE in .. called for seventy five-thousand militia. On May 30, he made another call for men and reinforced both the Army and -the Navy. The Navy continued for four years. In the year 1863 they fought the battle of Gettysburg which lasted for three days. They fought many other battles and they killed a great number of men. On April 9, 1865, General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant. This act ended the war. Lincoln and many others praised the soldiers which returned. In November, 1864, Lincoln was again a candidate for re-election. Gen. George B.McClellan ran against him. There were several times when it looked as if Lincoln would be defeated. When election day came the result was an over- whelming -triumph for Lincoln. He received the news of his triumph calmly. On March 4, 1865, President Lincoln stood ga second time before the capital in Washington and took the oath of office. On April 14, 1865 President Lincoln, his wife, Major Rathbone, and Miss Harris went to the Ford's theatre. They went into a private box and soon they were interested in the play. About eleven o'clock John Wilks Booth, an actor, suddenly invaded the box. A pro-slavery man was alone with him. In an instant he put a pistol to the back of Lincoln's head and fired. He then leaped from the box to the stage, fled through the stage door, mounted a horse and escaped. t at it 1 HFRESHIESU They sat together, Worked together, All semester long.

SHE FELT THAT SHE WAS ALWAYS AT HIS FEET Their meeting was so sudden She sleeps beneath the Willows, Their meeting it was sad, In peace she's resing now. She gave her sweet young life There's always something doing Most gracious thing she had. When a freight train meets a cow. THE FRESHMAN YEAR When I first went to see her And when the lights were low I showed a timid heart We sat this far apart THE SOPHOMORE YEAR But when our love grew stronger, We knocked out all the spaces We knew its joys and bliss, And wesatupclose like this. Son at college to father Father writes to son No mom. no fun, your son How sad, to bad, your dad. BY THE GHOSTS OF MIGHT-HAVE-BEEN With Apologies to David The Ford is my auto, I shall not want another, It soreth my sole, it maketh me get out and get under, It leadeth me into the paths of ridicule for its names sake, Yea, though I ride through the valleys, I climb not the hill, my rods and my en- gine discomfort me. My radiator runneth over, I anoint my tire with patches in the presence of mine enemies. Yea, if this follows me all the days of my life. I shall dwell in the garage forever. SENIOR MOTTO Don't study when you're tired, Or have anything else to do. Don't study when you're happy, For it will make you blue. Don't study in the day time And don't study at night But study all the other time, With all your vim and might. Page Ninety-eight nv' V'-wr V i f Qs 45 A AL. L4 up .

The Ten Commandments-to the Frivolous F resh- men ancl Silly Sophs by the jubilant Juniors List to the utterances of the Oracles. Peruse with avidity the fragments of sage advice which follows, and heed them with diligence for those who err from the path of light herein pointed out are oft spoken to with vehemence, yea, for some offenses imprudent students have been awarded the can. When approaching the campus of R. H. S. be sure to remove the burrs and hayseed from your hair, and deposit these with your cigarette stubs and toothpicks in the waste cans. Having hung your unnecessary wearing apparel indoors, on a hook in the hall, move with celerity to the assembly for it is unlawful to loiter outside It is earnestly advised never to let ten consecutive days go by without study- ing a lesson. When walking to the front door circumspectly follow the side walks and tread not upon the grass, shrubs or flowers. Beware of leaving in the hall any paper, document, scroll, inscription or loose-leaf with your secret song. It is a matter of fact that such careless- ness is taken advantage of. fEspecially by the teachersj. Loiter not in the dressing room, ye infants, give the Juniors and Seniors a chance to straighten their mussed hair and powder their shiny noses. It is universe to consider the plants on the school grounds when you are due at a recitation. The proper time for viewing the ground is during the noon hour or before or after school. When taking an exam in Pl. Geom. be duly careful to tuck all note books and papers inside your desk out of sight. Throw not your scraps of paper, pencil shavings, and unnecessary articles on the floor but willingly deposit them in the waste basket as you are pass- ing to and from class. Out breaks in the rear of the assembly are not encouraged. Save your voices for a better purpose in the future. L It K I The Punctuation Blues Punctuation bothers me?
