We’ve got the pep you bet, We keep the school agoing; The best gang you ever met, That always makes a showing. We’re never to be beat In game or class or spree, Although we’ll stand defeat, If superiors there can be. Superiors are hard to find, So good a class are we, We last down to the rind, Cast-offs we’ll never be. We’ll always stand afloat, On land or air or sea; We are determined to float. And floating we’ll soon be. We’re adjusted for our mark, And to that mark we’re going, We’ll fight right from the start; The Seniors will make a showing. We’re working for the place The place you call success We entered in that race, And we’ll finish with the best. • I I I I I I I I I I —Martin Pluth. 22 RODEO — 1926 The Modern Lochinvar “Oh, Young Lochinvar is come out of the west: Thru all the wide Border his steed was the best-” ONLY he came from the east and rode in a Checker taxi. H i s name was John Brown—n o relative t o John Brown’s body, however. John had just come from the Onion De- pot where “The Fly- er” from Albany had “dropped” him. He had grabbed a Check- er and ridden as fast as the speed laws would permit—or possibly a little faster —to the fourteen-story domicile of his childhood sweetheart. She had written him that the wedding was to “come off” Tuesday at three o’clock—two minutes to go! John Brown boldly brushed past the butler and with a hasty step entered the room wherein the wedding was to take place. “What’s the big idea,” demanded his sweetheart’s father, as he put away his pocket flask and started to roll up h:s sleeves, “Are you ‘nuts’, coming into my house in this fashion?” “So’s your aged male parent,” answer- ed John Brown. “I have come to bid good- bye to my childhood sweetheart.” “Thinkest thou, knave, that a ditch-dig- ger, such as you are, could ever win the hand of my fair daughter? Why, your fathor has onlv three billion simoleons!” “Three billions may be only one hole in the mosquito netting,” snarled John, “But remember—there are lots of chorus girls ready to bite, with three billion cartwheels as bait.” The “old man” could do nothing but look, unheeded in the presence of this mas- terful young man.” “Ah,” whispered Eliza’s old maid aunts—for Eliza was her n a m e—“ ’Twere better far that ’lil Liza Jane should marry this young man than that spineless drug store cowboy over yonder.” John Brown whis- pered a word into the ear of Eliza, his child- hood flame, and they both flew down the hall and into the waiting Checker, in- c'dentally knocking the aforementioned butler down. The young man thrust a couple of “case” notes into the driver’s hand and shouted, “Ten cents more if you make it to the No Chance Aviation Field in eleven and three-eighths minutes.” “Aye, aye, sir,” answered the cabbie and threw in the clutch with a jerk, there- by leaving Eliza and John Brown in a heap on the floor of the cab and a string of smoke rings to greet the disgruntled father when he had perambulated his 350 pounds of avoirdupois down to the curb- ing. Nor was there anything more heard of the absconding couple, until ten days la- ter when Eliza wired her father from Hin- dostan: “Cable $500,000 for traveling expenses. Without love. Eliza.” The father “threw” a fit and was car- ried to the Thirty-third street Bug House where he spent the remain- der of his days repeatmg such phrases as “Unroll me, I’m a bundle of tape; pound me, I’m a nail,” etc. Jim and Eliza rented an igloo and started light house- keeping at the North Pole, all their money being requir- ed for the electric bill for lights during the six months of darkness in a year. —George Swertelle R O D E O — i 9 2 6 2 3 Final Exams A final exam is a good review Of the work we’ve had all year, And gives an idea of how much we’ve learned In a way that is perfectly clear. They are given so that our teachers and we Might know just how dumb we can be, And whether we’ve spent our time in school To advantage or foolishly. You’ve asked me to tell you truthfully If I like them and why so; So like Washington and the cherry tree I’ll speak the truth—I don’t know. It’s sort of a joke, or at least last time, And caused me many a laugh To get exempt in three subjects, And in history, forty-three and a half. I wouldn’t suggest a substitute For everything else is the bunk, And the dear little final exams give a chance To flunk, or not to flunk. —Fern Crothers. 24 ROD EO— i 92 6 26 RODEO — 1926 Jumors Girls Elsie Anderson Annie Ashment Mary Barry Lavanda Castle Ruth Cameron Estella Daly Lettie East Mildred Eide Gertrude Epperson Evelyn Fosse Leona Geelhart Ava Hollowell Cathleen Henkle Alma Hiller Louise Johnson CLASS ROLL Elizabeth McGinley Alice Nicholson Mary Ellen O’Connor Hazel Oliver Maymie Petaja Mildred Rodeberg Marie Routh Hilda Sterner Bessie Shaw Elizabeth Wall Verna Young Gwendolyn Zoller Boys Fred Brissenden Harold Britt Lorance Cates Aines Helgerson Leroy Lind Arthur McCluskey Lee McNaught Max Ott Tony Polich Adolph Popovich Emali Rudman Henry Smith Howard Smith Maurice Smith William Shaw Ethan Wainscott Edward Wick land Class Officers Ruth Cameron, President Louise Johnson, Vice President Mildred Rodeberg, Secretary and Treasurer RODEO— 1926 27 Hf The Juniors Who averages the highest marks, In every study are the sharks, Who treats hard work as happy larks?

Roundup was then, what could literally be called, the great open spaces. The depot stood where the big water tank is now. Railroad Avenue was much the same as it is now, only there was no sidewalk or paving. Saloons composed the largest part of the metropolis. In all there were about six- teen. Second street east was the pret- tiest street in town. Main street was where it is now, but the sidewalks were wood and there were no brick buildings. The only decent-looking building was “Marshall’s Store.” All the others were mere ramshackle places. Roundup was practically all prairie. The cowboys held their rodeos on Main street—in fact all the celebrations were held on Main street. The first circus to visit Roundup w a s “Gollmar’s.” The weather was terrible. It rained all night and all day. The mud was so thick that the horses could not pull the circus wag- ons up Railroad Avenue, so they hitched the elephants to them. The circus was held where the American theater is now and the mud was so deep that the people had to wear hip boots to get to the per- formance. There were no street lights in Round- up then, and to get along at night was merely guess work. A very amusing in- cident happened to one of the girls who attends this school now. At that time she was only a baby. Her mother had been out visiting and was returning home rather late. The night was very dark and the woman hurried. When she ar- rived home and went to take the baby out of the buggy she found that it was gone. While hurrying over a rocky part of the road the baby had bounced out. She and her husband and some neighbors took lanterns and went to hunt for the lost child. They found it peacefully sleep- ing in a ditch. We had a fire department here even in those days. A man by the name of “Saw- dust” was fire chief and Scotty Monroe was his lieutenant. The hose was pulled in a go-cart, and the fire alarm was a number of pistol shots. The first fire was at the skating rink. Everyone in town turned out to see the demonstration. All the people living near it were on top of their houses with wet quilts to keep the fire from spreading. The first automobile was owned by a man named Parkinson. It rattled and squeaked so that it could be heard for seventeen blocks. Whenever he rode down Main street in it, everyone rushed out to look at him. Tim McCawley and Scotty Monroe, two old fellows, lived together about three miles on the other side of Thirty Mile. Scotty didn’t want Tim, but Tim wanted to stay and did. One day Scotty went down to Thirty Mile to get provisions. While he was gone Tim got drunk and decided to kill him. When Scotty return- ed, Tim was waiting for him with a knife and tried to slash his face. They fought, and Scotty ordered Tim out of the house, telling him not to come back. Tim start- ed off, but began thinking of what Mon- roe had said. He decided he didn’t like it, so he turned and started back again. When he was about seventy feet from the house, Scotty stepped out with his shot gun. His little dog came running out, too, and jumped against him. The gun went off. Tim was brought to town and they picked buckshot out of him for a week afterward. Murders were an everyday occurrence. The body of one man who was shot was found in Beregan’s coulee east of Roundup. The person who shot him was never discovered. These are only a few of the events that happened in the “making” of Roundup. —Elizabeth McGinley.

A tuneful youth and one who bore The splendid title, Sophomore. His brow was happy; his eye was glad, He received what tribute the Freshmen had, And when the Juniors began to bore, He left them all, that Sophomore. In all his classes he made the grade, And all the ghosts of failure laid. The teachers’ spirits began to soar, They liked that growing Sophomore. But when he went his spirits sank Into unknown regions dark and dank. And this is the reason, you Seniors hoar, He wished to be ever A Sophomore. —Harold Shaw. 32 RODEO — 1926 Ye Olde Time Romance ONCE upon a time, long, long ago, and all that sort of stuff, a flighty young skirt bounces into King Arthur’s Round Table of square dealing, and spills a sob story about her sister being carted off by some 15th century cave-man. She calls in no uncertain terms for some lad to trot out his Lizzie and go save the fair imperiled one. Our modest young hero, Sir Goose-Grease Gareth, champion of the Grand Order of Royal Hash-Slingers, steps forth and announces that his faith- ful steed is in good working condition, and that he will rescue the beauteous maiden, kill the ogres, make himself a name, etc. Instead of falling on his neck with the weeps turned on, the dame turns a cold shoulder to him—two of ’em, in fact—and makes a sour-castic crack at the king, and hotfoots it out to where her faithful and ever patient what-is-it is do- ing the Charleston for the benefit of a crowd of deformed blind which stands around drinking malted-milks and ap- plauding. Our bashful knight cranks up his own Ford and dusts the road after her. After journeying some two hours at the appalling speed of fifteen per, he draws along-side of the rattle-trap of our hero- ine to the tune of a whole flock of sarcasm and what-do-you-call it from said rattle- trap. This merely comes in one ear and goes out the other of our sturdy champion, for he had met with a galloping tongue with the same line of chatter when he started up the ladder of fame riding herd on a mess of beef-steak or what have you. After rattling along for a few miles, they comes to the hangout of a bozo which is supposed to bump off any Lizzie or otherwise, regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, which comes along. The noble knight, Gareth, drags this lad outa bed and tells him to get out his bus and say his prayers. The bird shoots out of his garage in a couple of minutes in a big Straight Eight. They meets in the middle of the field, and Gar- eth busts a feed pipe. He hops out and sticks his wad of chewing-gum on it, and is back in his Ford before the other lad can get his bus straightened around. Sir Goose-Grease then hops his tomato-can up on the hood of the Straight Eight, and smashes it down, busting three spark- plugs. This puts the other bird out of it, and he gives up the ship without much pow-wow. Then Gareth rambles after his lady friend. About the time he catches up with her, they comes to another bozo which has the same occupation as the other fella. This bird trots out his Eight, and they comes together so hard that the spare tires punc- ture, but this doesn’t bother Gareth any. He just swings his Lizzie around and hits the Eight from the side and tips it over and buries the guy alive. He then cuts another notch in his amber cigarette-hold- er and trails after the dame. She kids him about his good luck, but he keeps tighter than a bashful clam and rattles along beside her. When they comes to the next human obstruction, he is waiting for them in a car so long and low that an over-grown boa constrictor would of stood three feet above it, and would of been about five shorter. This doesn’t worry Gareth any, and he skips in and dents the radiator before the other guy can get started. Then the bozo in the Eight hits Gareth a wallop in the tail light and loosens the gas tank. Gareth swings around and hits the Eight so hard in the side that it looks like a single-seater in- stead of a seven-passenger. Then the lad gets hot and slings a tool box at our hero. Gareth responds gaily with a mon- key wrench, and for about ten minutes they trades spare tires, chains, and the like. Gareth finally lands a jack under the right ear of his antagonist, and he takes the count. The dame apologizes and they goes on. After about three hours they comes to the castle where away down in a deep, dark, dungeon—gr-r-r-r, etc. Gareth toots his horn, and a lad with a counterfeit face comes rolling out in a monstrous Twin-Six. Gareth cuts a few circles around him, and then SOCK ! He tears into that Twin-Six, and after the smoke clears away, there is nothing to be seen but a few spare parts here and there, and a little shrimp about twelve years old. Gareth then rescues the fair maiden from the castle, and she becomes his Ball and Chain on his request, and they live happily forever after, and that’s the end. —Jack Reitsch. RODEO— 1926 33 Characters. Discontent Jealousy Envy Winnifred Jack Time: At dusk. Setting: On the inside of an old log shack, at the edge of a dense forest. The furniture consists of an old log table in the middle of the room, with a dirty plaid table cloth, strewn with dirty dishes. An old-fashioned cook stove, which is cover- ed with ashes, dirty pots, pans and soot. In the corner is an old iron bed, formerly of gold color, but now the enamel is par- tially chipped off showing rusty black spots. It is not made up, and the ragged, ill smelling quilts are dragging on the floor. The rough boards have no carpet and looks like it hadn’t been swept for a week. SCENE I. A young girl enters. Her cheeks are rosy from the chill wind and her golden hair is straying in her face. Winnifred: (Taking her hat and coat off and throwing them in a slovenly fash- ion on the bed.) Oh! Dear me! I’ve been in town all day and I’m so tired. (Enter Discontent and Envy.) Discontent: Well, my dear, why do you stand for the way your husband treats you? Your house is dirty and unkept, your fires are out, and no hot appetizing dinner is awaiting you—Where is your husband now? Winnifred: Why Jack is out felling trees and hauling them to the mill. (Enter Jealously.) Jealousy: And so you really think, my little beauty, that your husband would work all evening—What about that black eyed Spanish girl down at Sampson’s? Don’t you suppose he might be fond of her? Patience Love Cheerfulness Home Faith Winnifred: (Anger flashing from her eyes) Oh! I never thought about that! So that’s why he is never home on time. (There is a sound of someone walking slowly toward the cabin.) (Discontent, Envy, and Jealousy sneak behind the door.) (Enter the husband, wearily. He stares a moment, from his tired eyes, at the un- tidy house, and his wife calmy sitting reading a book. He staggers over to the bed and drops down, as if dead.) Winnifred: Where have you been all evening? (Jealously comes out and stands behind Winnifred.) (Patience enters and stands behind her husband.) Husband: I’ve had the most awful night— Winnifred: (Interrupting) Why—did- n’t she treat you right? Patience to Jack: Never mind Jack, she is worn out. Husband: Why Winnifred, if you are insinuating that I have been out with an- other girl—you are badly mistaken—I was caught in a blizzard out in the forest and was hardly able to get in. Jealousy: Don’t let him tell you that! Envy: He was building fires for her instead of you. Discontent: Oh! This house! Just like a barn, you will have to admit, and what does he care. Winnifred: Do you think you can make me believe that?

You can stay here by your- self. Husband: (As Winnifred grabs coat and hat and goes out, slamming the door) Winnifred, my Winnifred! Please come back! (Enter Cold and Illness.) Both together: At last we’ve got him —too tough a customer—too strong and well. If he had had a loving wife we never would have got him. (Cold sits on one side the bed and Illness the other.) Husband: (Moaning) Pneumonia has me sure, this time. If only Winnifred had stayed. (In the meantime Winnifred is on her way to town. Walking in the slush and snow until nearly frozen. Out of the darkness steps a figure shrouded in white—It is Love.) (The three evil thoughts flee into the darkness at the appearance of Love.) Love: (Taking the girl by the hand) Winnifred, think of your poor husband back there in that cabin in the hands of illness, cold, and perhaps death. You know what bad companions Envy and Jealousy are, why did you ever let them in your home? Winnifred: Oh! Is Jack sick? Cheerfulness: Yes, and look at the way you have treated him, never a kind word or a smile when he returns from a hard day’s work. Home: And that house, Winnifred, is not a home. You could make it real cozy and homelike, if you only tried. You don’t even get him a decent meal. Faith: Your husband loves you and only you. Death is carrying him away from you forever, just because you listen- ed to those three evil minds. Winnifred: (With remorse, shame, and sadness standing around her) Oh! I do love Jack, so much—I’m so sorry that I have let our house go. If I only could get back to him before death takes him away, (sobs) Faith: Have faith, my poor child, you will get back in time. SCENE II. Setting: Same place. After driving out Discontent, Envy, Jealousy, and Death, Happiness is slow- ly making her way in. Winnifred has taken the advice of her good friends—the dishes are washed, the table is cleared off and a bouquet of arti- ficial roses stands in the center. Flimsy little white curtains hang at the windows, the stove is cleaned off and a fire burns merrily within. The teakettle is singing and the odor of a delicious dinner comes to the nostrils of the husband, who is com- fortably propped up by pillows in the cleanly made bed. Winnifred: (Nearing the bedside, with a broad, happy smile on her face) My darling husband—to think I was going to leave you. It was all my fault and I love you so. Husband: Winnifred, I haven’t done my share either but from now on happi- ness will reign supreme. (Enter Happiness.) Yes, I will take care of my children ! —Nellie Quinnell.

Listen my children and you shall hear What you should do, when you get here, Braid hair in pigtails; roll your stockings low, Get some nice green ribbons, and tie them in a bow, Leave off all cosmetics, beware of anaesthetics. Whether you’re fat or not take part in all the races, For if you don’t iodine will be painted all over your faces. Whenever an upper classman comes strolling down the lane Be sure to bow real low to him and humbly speak his name. If you’re taunted, teased, and laughed at, Just smile and go your way, Remember smiles bring good cheer, And sulking doesn’t always pay. After all the Seniors aren’t so very mean to you, If you do the things they ask you to; Obey their simple rules, little freshies to be, You’ll come out happy in the end Just you wait and see. —Ollie Gilsdorf. 38 RODEO — 1926 The Horror of All School Students. This horror is a great red monster to all school children. It is caus- ed by whispering, unpreparedness, and chewing gum. These are the most common causes. It comes at the end of what the student thinks a very successful semester. But his idea is soon changed when he sees this horrible red monster coming after him. It is the common cause of many tears on the student’s part and the use of some physical strength on the parent’s part. It causes many disasters but does not know it. It does not take much to provoke its temper, and it easily comes after you. Nobody seems to care whether it gets you or not. They are more inter- ested in not having it follow them. It can be turned off your track only by hard work. It is big at the beginning and grows smaller but just as red. The smaller it gets the more horrible it seems. I suppose you have guessed by this time what it is. It is a Red Mark. —Ethel Hendershott. RODEO — 1926 39 r 40 RODEO — 1926 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BOARD Leroy Lind.

Five letter men were present: Tom Cameron, Aines Hel- gerson, Lester Sturdevant, Charles Hubatka and Tom Douglass. The first five nights of practice were devoted to fundamentals and “skull- practice.” Then the real work started. The squad that was develop- ed was light but speedy. The first game was played with Miles City, one of the best teams in the state. The boys put up a good fight, at one time advancing down the field to within the opponent’s 5-yard line but we could not put the pigskin across. The score was 40 to 0. The next strongest team we played was Winnett. We were defeat- ed again due to their heavy line-up which we were unable to break through. The last game we played was Harlo. The squad was hitting on all eleven that time and came through with a victory of 36 to 6. This left all the squad with a good taste in their mouths and “rarin’ ” to begin basketball. Lineup.

Oh! no, it’s not the first time, We’ve played with them before, But today we’re going to crush them, Roundup’s going to win the score. The umpire blows the whistle, Oh! what a great relief! Don’t worry, old Klein High School, You’re going to come to grief. The game is now progressing, But we along the lines, Are looking sad and worried For the touch-down has been Klein’s. Half of the game is over And Klein is still ahead But where there’s life there’s hope, you know, At least, so someone said. We rally to support our team We sing and dance and scream, Altho, they are the losing side We still support our team. Again the boys are in the field Excitement waves high, We know our Roundup Football Team, Will either do or die. Alas, we did not win the game, We cease to sing and dance. But still we don’t give up, because We’ll have another chance. Stay with it, Roundup Football Team. We still have faith in you; And when we play Klein High again They’ll meet their Waterloo. —Gladys Crothers.

THE basketball season started well. There were four letter men out to form a nucleus for the team. The boys worked hard from the beginning and the first few games seemed to show that the team was hard to beat. Then the mumps came along and the “flu.” One or two players laid up every game for over a month. When every one was well again it seemed that something had gone wrong. The rest of the season was a rather hit-and-miss proposition. The last week in February the team went to Lewistown for the tour- nament. Coach Alex drew Stanford whom we beat 23 to 10. The next game was with Klein who defeated us 25 to 13. This defeat put us in next to play the fast Fergus County Hi Team. It was a good, fast game the score being 20 to 15 in favor of Fergus. This defeat eliminated our team from the tournament. An all-district team was chosen by the referees of the tournament. The men chosen were Rom, center, Klein; Bailey, forward, Klein; Tels- laff, forward, Fergus; Hadland, guard, Fergus; Douglass, guard, Round- up. Klein won the championship by defeating Moore. Fergus was given a silver cup by the Kiwanis Club of Lewistown for displaying the best sportsmanship. Quinn of Winnett was given the honor of being commended for being of the most worth to his team throughout the tour- nament. The Team Lineup.

They were very eager to get to practice and the coach, Miss Nelson, had an abundance of good material to pick from. We had two play- ers from last year’s team and two of our subs were still with us. Annie Ashment was chosen as temporary captain for the first two games and afterwards was elected as the captain of the team.

They were Broadview, Harlowton, Klein, Lavina, Judith Gap, Grass Range and Roundup. In all about one hundred stu- dents took part. Roundup made the highest score in the contest, Harlowton was second and Broad- view and Klein ranked third. Place was determined by the total number of points made by each school. Nine points were possible on each examination, five points for first place, three points for second place, and one point for third place. Roundup made thirteen firsts, eight sec- onds and eleven thirds, making a total score of 100 points, Broadview and Klein twelve points, and Judith Gap eight points. Fern Crothers made the highest indi- vidual score. She had a total of seven- teen points. Lettie Alt had eleven points and Eddie Jarrett ten points. Margaret Hunt and Horace Warden were high point students of Broadview, Edward Hogl was high point for Harlowton and Mary Giacabozzi made the highest score for Klein. Each examination was conducted by a committee of two teachers, one from Roundup and one visiting instructor, the visiting instructor in each case being the chairman of the committee. The ex- amination questions were made by facul- ty members of the Montana State College of Bozeman. They were sent in sealed packages and opened by the visiting fac- ulty members at the beginning of the ex- amination. All pupils wrote the exami- nation under assumed names their real names and their assumed names being placed in sealed envelopes which were opened after the papers were graded and the ranking made. The papers were grad- ed by the two members of the committee for each examination.

On September 18, 1925 the Seniors started the ball rolling by giving a dancing party. Each Senior invited one guest. Every one present enjoyed the dance very much. Music was furnished by the High School Orchestra. The first drive of the Athletic Associa- tion was put on October 9. The rule was the losing teams had to give the two win- ning teams a matinee dance. The losers were the Seniors and Sophomores. The dance lasted from 4:00 to 6:00 p. m. Re- freshments of popcorn and cider were served. A real carnival dance was given by the Juniors, October 30. The hall was deco- rated in the Juniors’ colors, blue and gold. There was a stunt given by each class which proved very amusing. Then the time for the crowning of the carnival queen arrived. Miss Burcham had the honor of being crowned. Prizes were given for the—well it depends on how one put it (best or worse) dancers. A prize was given to Zella Chapin for stepping on her partner’s toes. Pop candy and cook- ies were sold throughout the dance. The Juniors gave this in order to help raise money for the Junior Prom. The carnival proved a success financially and socially. ♦ The Sophomores did their stuff by giv- ing a masquerade ball, November 20. They had the gym decorated very effec- tively. Clever costumes were represented. There were also prizes given to the best costumes. Tommie Cameron won first prize, which was a small skull, represent- ing a human head. He represented an ec- centric old fashioned lady and proved very amusing during the dance. Other prizes were also given. At Last. Our Freshmen had got over their fright and gave a dancing party, December 4. The rest of the classes were invited. They had the hall decorted in their colors. On December 23, 1925, the dignified Seniors rose up and gave a Christmas dance. They had a large Christmas tree decorated and set in the middle of the gym. The dance was very well carried on. Every one present enjoyed himself immensely. A party, for Freshman only, was given January 7, 1926. Here’s where the Fresh- man learned to dance. Games were played. The Charleston was illustrated by Miss Gwendolyn Zoller and Lyle Gate- ly. It was appreciated by the Freshmen very much. Refreshments were served. The Freshmen will say that they would have a perfectly lovely time without the help of their upper classmen. The second drive of the Athletic Asso- ciation was put on right after Christmas. Again the Sophomores and Seniors had to entertain the Freshmen and Juniors. They gave a matinee dance from four o’clock to six o’clock. The Juniors’ Hobo Party was given March 5. Programs were presented at the door. Prizes were given for the best costumes. Tessie Douglass and Max Ott got first prizes. Second prizes were giv- en to Mildred Rodeberg and Vernard Comstock. Refreshments of all-day suck- ers and peanuts were served at ten-thirty. The dance began at eight and lasted un- til eleven o’clock. Everyone present had a very enjayoble time. PROGRAMS.

Next in line came the Grand Parade of the terrified Freshmen. On Septem- ber 15, 1925, the dignified Seniors put the following sentences upon them: HEAR YE! HEAR YE!! Ye canvasbacked, fossilized, palpitating, fari- naceous, oscillating useless, blubbering Freshman infants. Park your gum behind the northeast corner of your flopping labyrinth, chase the cobwebs out of your pinnacle, and absorb this message from the sophisticated, all-powerful Seniors. For eons and eons it has been the custom for the austere Seniors to take one day from the month of September to entertain the mealy-mouth- ed, wiggly-legged Frosh. Therefore, we. the Seniors, take great pleas- ure in upholding this immemorable tradition which has long been upheld by the Seniors who have pre- ceded us. Cease your gastronomic operations, shake the birds off your aerial, and obey this injunction. On Friday, September the 25th, in the Year of our Lord, 1925, from 1:00 p. m. to 12:00 p. m., the Frosh will be under the absolute rule of the ruthless, implacable, unrelenting, inexorable, unmerciful Senior Class. The prevailing styles in headgear for the Frosh boys will feature green as the predominating col- or. On this day, all Freshman boys must wear short pants, and have their socks rolled at some point below the knees. Ye Freshman girls also harken unto this egre- gious document drawn up by the aforementioned awe-inspiring Seniors. On the said Friday, the 25th day of September, your hair shall be braided into several pig-tails done up in green. Hats will be considered absopositivelutely out of order. Let it also be known that you shall wear your dresses at knee level; your odoriferous hose shall be roll- ed at half mast between your ankles and your knees. All of your ante-diluvian drug store com- plexion, whitewash, cornstarch, flowers of wheat, and red sticks of goo are also strictly forbidden. Thus shall the Freshman girls dress in a way be- fitting their ungainly pie-faced countenances. Let it also be known that when any member of the Freshman class meets a Senior at any time during the eleven hours they are under our con- trol, the aforementioned Freshie must step to one side and let the exalted personage pass. All Sen- iors will be designated by a red band around the left arm and woe unto any other student thus ele- vating himself to the position of the all-mighty Seniors. All male members of the Freshman class must doff their lids when they meet a Senior and all Frosh girls must duck their knobs to the above mentioned upper classmen. The carcass of any Frosh who breaks these rules intentionally or otherwise will be placed up- on the rack for the Seniors to hammer, maul, smite, whack, pelt, strike, pulverize, disface, gash, slash, hew, lop, prune, clip, shear, whittle, shave, trim, chop, disect, amputate, chisel, lance, dis- figure, cleave, slit, tweak, twitch, squeeze, com- press, rip, bisect, nip, cramp, scorch, scald, singe, char, sear, cauterize, brand, cremate, lynch, drown, inter, lash, thrash, trounce, switch, spank, flay, con- tort, wrench, distort, maim, dismember, hack, snip, crush, powder, elongate, distend, pierce, thrust, gore, and tranflx to their hearts content. If ye break faith with us, well lubricated roll- er skates shall be fastened upon your pedal ex- tremities and you shall be forced to perambulate down the dizzy slopes of Pike’s Peak. Your worth- less. good-for-nothing remains shall be cut into a thousand and one pieces and the aforementioned pieces shall be placed in bottles and cast forth up- on the Seven Seas. If any Frosh, male or female, survives the foregoing cruelties, we, the Seniors, shall present the said Frosh with a beautifully en- graved celluloid fireman’s hat and the title of the “World’s Most Perfect Freshman.’’ Committee—George Swertelle, Gladys Crothers, Martin Pluth. Lyle Gately, Zelma Halley. RODEO — 1926 The Charleston 1 Put on your chains, you’re skidding, Said she to the asphalt sheik; Powder your nose and be getting, You’re liable to get cold feet. Just a second, my dear, and we’ll get going, A start is all that I need; We’ll start off for the Charleston Palace In time to warm up our feet. We’re here at the Palace already, Who said we haven’t got speed. Just strip off those duds and make ready, The music will take care of the feet. Oh, boy, but isn’t this jolly, Strut around with those little feet; The start is only the beginning, We’ll give these folks a treat. A few hours at this is a plenty, Now for something to eat; Wow, but the Charleston is peppy, And it’s terribly good for the feet. —Martin J.
