HEUSNER One of the most familiar figures in the high school life of the past six years has been that of our friend Mr. Geo. F Brooks For four years he taught mathematics and science in on- high school, after which he was promoted to the principalship which he has since held. Mr. Brooks is a man of force, well prepared in an educational way for the work that he has been doing, a good executive, vigorous in his adminstration of affairs, enthusiastic for the success of every high school activity. Mrs. Brooks, with her splendid musical talent has been very helpful to us. The Habit representing the high school wishes to express its thanks and appre- ciation to her. The high school has flourished under Mr. Brooks’ able direction, and will be the loser by his going . That he may find his new home a pleasant one, and his new work entirely up to his expections, is the wish of the Salina high school.

Then I noticed a familiar look ' Twas a freshman shadow, this phantom took And, I saw how he entered, timid and gay. And longingly looked up the narrow stairway Of the Latin and German and English rule. As slowly he entered the old high school. And I watched his course thru each weary day, As he gradually strove the narrow way, Soon the freshman changed, and a sophomore Seemed to arise upon the shore. And things around seemed to look like squares. As the lad assumed geometric airs. And flashy and proud he changed again Into the form of a third year man. And the junior hoed the rocky row Of the junior prom and Cicero. And before I knew what had come to pass , Out of this busy high school mass A new form came, and soon I knew ’Twas the form of a senior the finger drew. And then I woke; my dream was past, Because of the phantoms I’d seen the last. And I looked back on the four short years, On all the joys and all the tears But I found the measure of joy was full While the measure of tears was scarce wet at all. And then I remembered how much it meant. Each and every day I had spent. Within the walls of the dear old high And with aching heart I said good-bye . — Frances Brown Twenty-three E Mentors, Seniors, strong anb free ©ur toast tobap is all for tfjee== ' WHt toast tfjp fjtstorp proub anb fair ?S3Ee toast tfjp beebs recorbeb tfjere.

None of the girls seem to have any time. Are you going to enter the tournament next week?” “Oh, yes, ’’replied Kitty. “I’m not much in practice but per- haps I can win a few matches.” Kitty walked down to the tennis grounds of Fairmount College where the white lines of the courts shone bright in the late after- noon sun. Drawing closer she saw several girls whom she had never noticed on the courts before. They seemed to be practising with a great deal of spirit for such a warm day. One tall girl especially attracted Kitty’s attention because of her graceful way of serving the balls. At a closer view she recognized the girl as the one who always recited the best in Livy and who Kitty supposed cared for nothing but studies. The girl was Jean Monroe who was trying very hard to win a scholarship that had been offered by Oberlin College. One of the requirements for gaining the scholarship was to have a high stand- ing it: at least one of the branches of athletics. Jean’s parents could not afford to. send her away to school and, moreover, could see no reason for her wanting any more education. But because Jean was of those girls who liked to do things for herself, she was deter- mined to win this scholarship. Kitty was a pretty girl, full of life and caring only enough for studies to make a passing grade. She was very confident of winning the championship, for she thought there was no girl that could play tennis quite so well as she could. Kitty had practised the under-hand stroke until her hair was down and her arm ached, but what did tumbled hair matter when one could walk home with one of the most popular boys in the senior class, Jack Lynn? “Hello Kitty, ’’lie called. “Here, let me carry that racket; you look as if you’d been practising some! Suppose you’re going to enter the tournament.” “Yes,” laughed Kitty, “I don’t believe it will take very skill- Twenty-five fill playing to win’’. “Oh, you can do it all right”, Jack called to her, as she ran up the steps of the Pi Phi sorority house. When Jean left the courts, she had nearly mastered to her satisfaction a new of serving which she had thought out late one night after one unsuccessful day’s practise. Her cheeks were flush- ed and her e} es sparkled with excitement for she had won every game that she had played that afternoon. “Oh. I do wonder whom I’ll draw for the first round of the tournament”, she mused to herself as she walked on toward the Girl’s Dormitory. ‘If I can only get my strokes a little faster”. As Jean passed a sorority house she heard the laughter and excited talking of girls, “The re they’re all having a good time. I like to have fun just as much as they do if I didn ’t have to grind all the time. H’m, I was asked to join the Kappa Alpha Theta, if they only care to know it. I guess all the girls think I’m a regular old bookworm, but I’m not. I’m going to try harder than I ever did in my life to win the championship of tenths and just show those girls that lean do something besides study.” The next morning, after the commotion made by the six hun- dred students of Fairmont College coming into chapel had subsided and conversation partially ceased, the professor read the announce- ments. Glee club notices, class meetings and track practices weie all unheeded because everyone was eager to hear about the rules of the tennis tournament which was the biggest thing in the way of athletic s that Fairmont offered in the spring. At last it came. “The girl’s tennis tournament begins Tuesday; May 10, finals will be played on the following Saturday. All girls entering hand in names at the end of the period. The schedule will be post- ed on bulletin board at noon.” When the classes were dismissed at neon, there was a general rush toward the bulletin board in the lower hall. Kitty Kline with her group of of friends was eagerly pushing her way toward the small but important piece of paper posted up. When sue was in- formed who her opponent for the first match was, she remarked, “Oh, I can beat her easily enough. Come on girls, let’s go to lunch, I ' m starved.” Twenty -six tler delay Jean Monro, finally a ph glance at the schedule and she was relieved m ,,Cc to hastily opponent was not to he Kittv. ‘ ‘ It I m k ° 1 - ,K l at ller rst day HI feel as if I lm 1 moreof a chance to win tH first she exclaimed to herself as she hurried down the Cham . p, ° nsh, I .” iue.

Twenty-seven As Kittv left the court with her friends she was about as much surprised as a girl of her nature could be to think she was to play Jean Monroe, the bookworm. “Why, girls, who ever heard of such a thing?” she cried. “Two weeks ago I didn ' t even know that Jean knew enough about tennis to handle a racket. When did she ever learn? And did you see some of her strokes? I’ll have to work.’’ “Oh, you can beat her easily enough”, consoled one of the girls; “she’ll get so excitedshe’U drop her racket when she intends to hit the ball”. “Don’t worry, Kitty, Jean’s too much of a grind to play tennis that will even compare with yours. You’ll win all right” remarked another. When Jean reached her room she called out to her roommate. “Mary, am I going to win tomorrow? Well, I just must anyway. Kitty won her match today but 1 heard her say afterward that her arm ached dreadfully, 1 thought out a dandy new way to serve, I’m going to work it out on paper right now. Then I’m just going to show Kittv Kline that I can play tennis as well as translate I, ivy. 1 heard Kitty s friends sa something about a Phi Gam party. 1 under what it is”. Saturday afternoon was an ideal one for playing a tennis thud. 1 he only ditteienee from another spring day was that it had been the longest morning Jean ever remembered. She had been nervous ull morning. At two o’clock in the afternoon she began doing lu r hair. She did her hair five times. She could not sit still; she tore a hole in her best handkerchief. Finally, she went down to the courts mumbling to herself. I’m going to wan. 1 m going to win At last at three o ' clock, the official ap- peared on the ground and the g une was called. At first Jean could not set. the ball; all seemed a blur before her eyes. Hut gradually she became used to her side, forgot about the people in the gallery and placed. She set ved her halls swiftly and surely Kittv seem - et tumble to let mu them ami when it was her turn to serve she wn ext iud and the dilection ot her halls showed it. Jean was using ° u ' etui ns but held back her latest serve. Thes| ec- o s wi ( 1 (.lueitHl both girls. Jean had came into popularity Twenty ci ht during the week and had so many friends interested in herphning as Kitty had. Before Jean realized that they had been playing ten min- utes, the official called the first set 6-4 in favor of Jean. Jean had won the first set. No wonder, when running from the one side df the court to the other, she almost stumbled over Jack Lynn who was lying down on the grass near the net. Neither girl wanted to stop and rest and they immediately started playing the second set. Kitty having received advice and assurance from the side lines started playing with a vim. Jean seemed to be losing grip of herself. What was the matter with her arm? Was Kitty winningthis match? Jean used her ground strokes but they didn’t get the ball over the net. The referee called the set, 6-4 in favor of Kitty. A tie! ho would win the last deciding set? To be the champion of Fair- mont! I hat was Jean’s resolve as she went into the third set She served her balls so fast that Kitty could not strike them until too late. After Jean had won four games and Kitty three, Jean tried her new serve. After seiving ' the ball instead of waiting in her place for the return she ran up to the net. This move puzzled Kitty. She looked away from the ball at Jean and failed to return Kitty s serve. 1 he last game of the set was on. Jean was using her various ways of returning with success. Kitty tried to return the ball over Jean’s head but Jean quickly stepped back and struck the ball far out of Kitty’s teach. Love - fifteen,” announced the official. Again Jean ran to the net and struck the ball before it seem- ingly had left Kitty’s racket. ‘ ‘Love - thirty”. Kitty tried an under hand stroke. Jean blocked it sharply across the court. Love - forty ’ ’. Jean Monroe is the winner of the tennis tournament. Game 6 — 4. Jean and Kitty left the courts together, Jean’s arm around Kitty. Jean how did you do it?” Kitty asked. Say Jean, you come to our summer home this summer and we’ll finish this tennis until I’m satisfied. I told mother I was going to ask some girl and it’s going to be you. Won’t you come?” ‘Oh, I’d just love to, ’’answered Jean. That night while Twenty-nine Jean was sitting in her room thinking over the events of the day. she was called to the phone. When she answered the call, a boy’s voice asked, Say aren’t yon the girl that won the championship this afternoon? Well , I want you to be my guest at the Phi Gam party next week. You will, won’t you? Jean almost too surprised to speak, uttered a faint, Yes.” — Thelma Short JWp Wiit y neighbor’s wife is a suffragette of the Pankhurst tj pe m ■ Band an abominable disposition. It is a common occurrence. when her temper is raging somewhere in the neighbor- hood of 90 degrees centigrade for her to run her husband out of the house, and down the street as long as her strength will permit. She is about five normal feet high and equally broad. Her eyes slant in an easterly direction while her nose is in marked contrast with her other regular features. Upon entering the house the first sight that meets one’s eye is a tangled mass on the floor assuming the shape of two human forms, male and female. It is none other than my neighbor and his wife in physical competition for equal rights. The wife is on top welding a rolling pin like a butcher cutting elephant steak, while the husband is breathing slightly, already weak from the loss of blood. On the wall is a sign which reads, Peace on Earth, Good Will toward Men and Votes for Women”. — Vernon Brown Thirty _ “WE WON’T GO THERE ANYMORE!” ■ HE Senior hates sentimentality; that’s the reason why he 4 despises last looks, last words, last farewells, last kisses an d the like. Unfortunately he is a senior: he must take the farewell of high school. The other evening about five thirty he strolled in at the west door fora more or less valuable notebook. He entered the big quiet building with a smile in his eye and a whistle on his lips. Straight as an arrow he slide down the slick floor to his locker. Or. the way, he glimpsed into a few of the boy s lockers There was Woods, and not a thing in it but an old physics book, pretty much the worse for the wear. Several old copies of The Outlook” with Kirtland’s name more or less eligibly written on them, had fallen to the floor. His own notebook was not in the locker well maybe it was up in room 10 on The Habit table. It was at least worth looking for. Up the west stairs two steps at a time to the main floor. No- body in sight! Mr. Brooks’ office door was even closed no familiar bald and red head grinning at him from within. Kinda got on his nerves! In the domestic science room, he heard Mr. Reaser whistling away at “We’re Marching to Zion”. Jim Reaser might march to Zion if he wanted to but the Senior preferred to stay right there in that old D.S. room. He’d certainly had good times there. As he passed the chapel, he decided he wasn’t in such a hurry. In he stepped; up to his own seat he walked. Hm! he’d had his share of fun here. “What’s the matter with the team!” It certainly was fun to come to high school. But then of course one wouldn’t really want to come more than four years. If you had to leave, well you had leave; that was all. He left the chapel slowly! Slowly he walked up the steps. It certainly wasn’t his custom to walk slowly up stairs. He noticed the marks of footsteps on the stairs. He’d done his share of wear- ing them away. For four years, his freshmen crudities in the matt- er of stomping upstairs had been dwindling. He took a glance in at Miss Fones room, - clean as a new pin. That teacher certainly kept the cleanest desk in school and she was some patriot too, made Thirty-one Impulsively, be stepped over to Miss Miles’ room. Not a very clean desk but some Latin, believe me some Latin, and some teacher. You couldn’t put anything over on her. ” Just a glance at Room 14, ’Merciful Fathers! Miss Llmore! Visions of geometry floated into his brain, “just at this spot, I vowed I ' d never take another day of geometry. Hm! I did though trust Miss Klmore for that. Well she was just right anyhow ' Probably Uncle Dutch was puttering away down in the physics iab. Xo! Only a stack of notebooks. His own was probably there. On the whole, it would be just as well to step on. “Here’s where I learned to be a good public speaker”, he ruminated as he passed room 17. I’ve got to get that notebook”; on into room 10 where the violet leaves were still green and The Hdbit desk filled as high as usual with exchanges, he passed. Here he d learned that Milton wrote the Intimations of Immortality. He was glad he had, on the whole; a fellow realy ought to know a little bit about the classics. There was the notebook! He’d go on home now. Might as well get this commencement farewell over. As he passed down the hall, his eye was attracted by a mirror. “Neva Anderson ' s! She ' s forgotten it! Oh well, she has others at home.’ ' Quietly , he left the building without any smile in his eye or any whistle on his lips. Down the street, he heard someone sing- ing, “ We won ' t go there anymore, We won’t go there anymore.” “I guess you’re about right, he concluded; “ because we ' re seniors and won’t go there anymore.” Thirty-two He it known, that we, the graduating class of 1914, of the high school of the cit of Salina in the state o f Kansas do make this our last will and testament in manner following that is to say: First We do give unto the junior class of said high school all our senior privileges which are, viz: a The privilege of enjoying Mr. Klaumann’s jokes in both phy- sics and chemistry. b The trials and tribulations of American history and contemp- orary life. c Lastly, the rare privilege of going to the Salina public library to read four hours each day that you may be able to debate on any proposition which may be given to you in class. Second We also give unto the above named class the following pro- perties. a Our conceit, which we have so staunchly used throughout the year and which may be duly claimed after the last rites on the evening of May 28 , 1914. b Our athletic ability which has won for us prestige in all ath- letic contests when our members have participated for class honor. Note; Also that you make use of said athletic ability to place as many members on the various athletic teams as has the Class of Fourteen in the days gone by. Third To iYrthur Roberts, our freshman friend we leave the honor of being called “ Whiskers. ’’ We sincerely hope he will uphold said honor in as creditable manner as has one of our fellow class- men . Fourth To the school we give ; devise and bequeath the red and blue decorations scattered so promiscuously about the school ground. Fifth It is our will and we order and direct that a sum be raised from our holdings sufficient to purchase cut tains for the girls’ rest room. If such sum be insufficient v e desire that cheese cloth ruf- fles be attached to present curtains to represent curtains; work of attaching ruffle to be done by our esteemed friend Mr. Reaser. Thirty-three Sixth To Manhattan, Kansas we give one of our most valued po- ssessions, our friend and principal Mr. George Frederick Brooks, also his wife who so noblv taught the high school orchestra the se- lections: “Three Blind Mice” and “Scotland’s Burning”. We sincerely hope that Mr. Brooks will prove as adept in athletic ac- counting as he has here during the past two years. Seventh To Professor Karl Miller we leave the privilege of run- ning the school. We hope, Mr. Miller, that you will recognize the significance of this honor. Just one caution: Do not forget the underclassmen, for thev are young. Watch for doll playthings in the lockers of Kirsten Atherton and Marguerite Newman else they should skip classes to “play house”. Then if on Monday when Mr. Heusner is giving an address, a marble, top or ball should roll on the floor torvard the platform, look to Arthur Roberts, David Anderson, or Paul Jenkins as the culprit. Eighth All stray text books not used to sw ' ell the curtain fund we bequeath to the Osawatomie Insane Asylum that they may be preserved and well kept to furnish amusement for any of us that happen to go there that we might say “How smart we were then’’. Ninth To the sophomores we give and bequeath all gum to be found in room ten left by First Hour Senior English class. We hope that you will not get stuck up over this; rather cultivate a stict-up to-it-ive spirit. In witness whereof w ' e, the above named testators have here- unto set our hand and seal this twenty-seventh day of May in the year of our Lord 1914. The Class of 1914. Elmer Pruett, President. Then and there signed, sealed and published by the class of Fourteen, testators, as and for their last will in the presence of us who at their request, in their presence and in the presence of each other have hereto set our names as witnesses.

I wondered at the queerness and apparent inappropt iateness of the remark but said nothing as I had great re- spect for Pruett’s intellect. If you like, I’ll show you the incurables’’ said he. This building also contains the violent lunatics’’. e first entered a room furnished with a chair and desk. At the desk sat a man writing busily. “ Twenty cents in debt’ he muttered, “and two people haven’t paid their dues. Ah! another bill. Now lets see — ’’and he went on figuring, With a start I r ecognized my old friend Todd. To my sur- prised exclamation Pruett said, ’ ’It is a sad case and entirely incur- able. The strain of acting as the treasurer of the senior class of bis high school was too much for him”. We continued our way. As I neared the next cell I heard a familiar voice sa} “Now don’t you think this hat looks perfectly stunning on me? But then of course everything looks lovely on me’’. The door opened and and I saw Bessie Sloan standing before a mirror. Again my guide supplied information. “You see her head was turned by the hon- or of becoming May Queen and the only way we can control her is by giving her pretty clothes and a mirror. Vergil has now return- ed from Hades’’. As we closed the door to this room we heard a crash of glass and a shrill feminine yell from the next. “Those suffragettes on the warpath again” said Pat “the Roman legions have no hopes against them at all ” What was my surprise when I looked in to see my old class mates Rosemary Lundstrum and Grace Geinsch liack- Whom Jupiter would destroy, he first makes mad. Thirty-five ing at the furniture. Some attendants had left a glass of water in the room and it had met destruction at once. “Tn the excitement of a suffragette meeting they went crazy, ” said Pat. Quietness greeted us at the next door. A man with dislev- eled hair was sitting before a canvas daubing paint on it. “Roman art was never like this, ” said the manager . ‘ ‘Poor Bergsten thought he could be an artist just because he was a crack cartoonist. Try- ing to follow the cubist tendencies of the age wrecked his mind.” Another somewhat similar case met us at the door to the next cell. A dignified looking gentleman was declaiming in a loud voice that he would “Now go into detail and furnish a psycholog- ical example of the indestructibility of the absolute in connection with the mutability of mundane affairs.” ‘ ‘Rave on Augustus, ’ ’said my guide, “but please excuse me. ” As we left he explained that Siever had gone crazy trying to make a special on the difference between freshmen and seniors. After an able introduction lasting two days and two nights he collapsed just as he approached discussion and had not been in his right mind since. As w r e approached the next rcom my guide said “There would have been some excuse for this cell being occupied if Dido were living.” He opened the door and I saw Snodgrass and Williamson down on their knees before a picture of an actress. “Girls” was the word my guide uttered and I undersood. Such a noise came from the next cell that I hesitated to enter; but I recognized Inez Mack and Leta Wyatt. “You see,”explained my guide, these girls as ever are pitted against each other trying to determine who can talk the louder” No sound came from the next room, and as the door opened I saw two aged looking men. Upon closer observation I recognized Leslie Wilson and Arnold Jones. “Surely there is some mistake here” I cried. “These boys are not — ’ ’ “Ah but such has Juno decreed” replied my guide. “Wil- son and Jones attempted to teach womens rights in a Ladie’s Sem inary, and as this was out of their natural sphere they became vio- ( Continued on page 67) Thirty-six Prize Criticism of The Habit. 5TTBI I am aware that anyone can criticize, but it takes a wise man to execute. Nevertheless, I have noticed many opportunities for improvements and also some exceptionally good points in this years Habits. Of course we all notice misspelled words, poor or misplaced type, and mixed up or upside-down pages. Then, many of us have often wished that a list of the exchanges might be published at least once during the year, and that all of the advertisements were placed in the back of the magazine. The interest of the alumni might be aroused if a department were given over to them; it would seem more loyal to have a small cut of high school building in each number; and the lack of enthus- isam in the grammar school and high school class departments is very apparent. More competition between the grammar school and freshman and the issuing of class editions might partially remedy this fault. Then there is the ever present need of a better literary de- partment. The only help I could suggest for this would be to offer credit in classwork for the writing of acceptable stories. The Eng- lish department should stand sponsor for this department of The Habit. In so large a school of bright lights there surely are at least a few “ Longfellows’ , “Walt Masons’ , or “Eugene Fields ’ to make Salina High famous through its offical organ, The Habit. The “Spectator’ and “Latest Authentic Version of High School Terms ’ are both interesting and novel departments. The “News’ department is extremely well edited, and the cuts and char- acters are obviously original. I have heard many compliments on the “Just Nonsence ’ de- partment but also a suggestion that the jokes be collected from the grades. The little folks more frequently produce original jokes than some of the older ones.

No more long-winded tiresome harangues about school spirit, good manners, loyalty, what a relief to the reader! The editor is overwhelmingly thankful to the inevitable law of nature which causes May to approach. His heart is filled with the sort of joy which a small boy, who has a dollar in his pocket and the unexpected mysteries of a circus before his eyes, feels. The editor has tried by his editorials to mold school opinions to some extent; he has tried to uphold school law and to explain to the pupils why it must be upheld; he has been moderately sueessful in filling his allotted space each issue. The best interests of the school have always been the motive of the staff and their loyalty to their high school will always remain unchanged. When they are forgotten here, they will remember Salina high school and the hope that their efforts have accomplish- ed something will be one of the things to console them for the re- gret which they feel because more has not been accomplished. We may be here no more but our thoughts and well wishes remain witn Salina high school always. Sentiment The sentiment shown at this time of the year has often been regarded as foolish. The exercises followed every year by the graduates seem as if they might become old. But watch the graduate himself, excited and busy with the things that other graduates did years before. Besides, the grown person remembers how scared he was up on the platform or how proud he was over his part in the grad- uation exercises after all else is forgotten. It will mean as much to the juniors and the classes to come as it does to the seniors this year, and the students who do net enter into this sentiment and feel- ing misses part of his education. Forty-four r Kathrine Addison Kathrine Gemmill Fern Fitzpatricic Carolina Litowich nglish, English; everybody is studying English. When the freshmen enter the high school, tliev must begin at once to study English. If they intend to finish the high school, they must continue to pursue the study of their mother tongue through four years, — unless they enter the normal course from which the fourth year of English has been omitted. During the first year, interested boys and girls wander with the pious Odysseus and wise Athene until they rush madly away from the happy united family of the Grecian hero to seach excitedly for the ‘Treasure Island”. That found, off the troupe goes with “Henry V” to France for a crown, a wfife and a victory. Inciden- tally, they pause in their hasty marches to become acquainted with austere Woolley and to produce with much effort, original produc- tions. Sophomores study “Silas Marner,” “A Tale of Two Cities,” Idylls of the King, ” “ As You Tike It, ” and “ Travels with a Donkey.” They, too, produce original and interesting themes. Juniors produce no themes. in fact, all their energy is required to carry about ten pounds of Mood} 7 Lovett and Boynton’s “History of English Literature” and twenty pound of New 7 Com- er - Andrews’s “Twelve Centuries of English Poetry and Prose’ ’ from home to rooms 17 and 10. Usually at the end of the year they are pale and emaciated, — and English-hating. The senior year is a two headed monster, or angel. Boys of a con tentious turn of mind debate on weighty matters. Boys and girls who think they have a “nose for new 7 s” pursue everybody, re- lentlessly looking for news stories. music department: o he music department under the direction of Miss Vera Eb- erhardt has accomplished a great deal in the past year. There w 7 ere tw 7 o classes, the beginner’s class and the ad van - Forty-six ced class. The beginner’s class met on Thursdays and studied scales and harmony. The advanced class met on Wednesdays and studied History of Music and Appreciation of Music. Both classes met on Mondays and took singing together. A half credit a term was giv- en in music. In addition to this, a Boy’s Glee Club was organized which proved very successful and sang at several school occasions. The High School Orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Geo. F. Brooks was also well worked up and played on many occasions. Perhaps the most interesting thing which the music class gave during the year was the Cantata “Ruth” which was given Friday evening March twenty seventh in the High School Audi- torium. There was a chorus of fifty voices which showed careful training. The soloists did exceptionally well and the Cantata as a whole was greatly complimented by all who heard it. — Rosemary Lundstrum ML f he Physical Training department of the Salina High Sch- fi ool is in charge of George R. Edwards. Not only does Mr. Edwards have charge of the physical education of the pupils of high school, but he has charge of the physical work in the.other public schools of Salina as well. In the morning Mr.Edwards de- votes his time to the grade schools, while in the afternoon he has charge of two gymnasium classes and the coaching of the various kinds of athletics. In the high school credit is given for gymnasium work. Two days a week are given to the girls’ classes, and three days to boys’ classes. Each class has about 35 members thus making a total of 250 boys and girls out of 398 taking active part in the gymnastics. Thus through the gymnasium and athletics practically every student in the high school receives a certain amount of exercise each week. Forty-seven The gymnasium is one of the largest and best equipped gym- nasiums in any high school in the state. It is a well-lighted and ventilated room, having a floor space of 6 5 x 3 8, and a seating- capacity of 200. The branches of athletics we have are football, basket-ball, and either base-ball or track. We have an athletic field, in which our out-door games are played, leased for the school year. This field is close to the high school and is well equipped. — Arnold Jones AMTS CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP CROUTONS VEAL BIRDS CREAMED POTATOES PEAS IN P ATT IE SHELLS BREAD BUTTER ASPARAGRAS SALAD MINTS WAFERS ALMONDS Mv doesn’t that sound good? That’s just a sample of the luncheons given by the domestic science classes. You thought they didn’t do any thing but make fancy dishes? My! My! do you call canning fruit, baking bread, and cooking all sorts of vegtables and meats, “just making fancy dishes’’? Besides doing all of these things the girls do make all kinds of cakes, salads, pies, salad dressings, puddings, candies, etc. Surely these things are essential as well as more solid foods. And wouldn’t you rather eat something that has been cooked nicely and served properly, than, something that has been thrown together in just any old way? Some days you can hear sighs and groans, coming from the domestic science corner, like the rumbling of a volcano. This means wash, or scrub day. Sewing too? Oh; yes, of course we have the domestic are Forty -eight classes, and you should see the work. These classes draft their own patterns for the bags, aprons, gowns, underwear, and wash-dresses they make. And after each garment is finished it is compared with similar ready made garment as to price, goods, time spent on it, and workmanship. So you see these girls have no easy job. The girls in the advance class also make the washdresses; then they take up the study of woollen goods, each girl making a wool dress. Of course this includes tailer baisting and pressing. Then the girls make a fancy dress, and have some work in fancy stitches. Near the closing of the year millinery is taken up to some extent. Each girl, in both the domestic art and science classes, must keep a note book with an outline of all the work accomplished during the year. B uzz-z-z-z-ktiock, knock, knock. These are some of the sounds which one hears upon entering the manual train- ing shops. Here, at all times during the day, one may find a group of boys busily engaged in construction work, lathe turning and best equipped manual training departments of any high school in the state. The shop contains twenty benches 3 feet by 5 feet, each one oiler, scraper sloyd knife, ratchet brace and 3 assorted bits, coping- saw, buck saw, crosscut and ripsaws, mallet, hammer, rule, square guage,and bench duster. The shop is also furnished with a number of tools for general usage. The machinery of the shop consists of a universal saw bench, a band saw, a large grindstone and 13 turn- ing lathes, all of which are run by electricity. The band saw has a tilting top and is used for sawing light and scroll articles and in — Hildegarde Graham and cabinet making. The Salina high school has one of the largest equipped with the following tools: 3 chisels, 3 planes, oil stone and Fo rty -nine sawing curves. The universal saw bench also has a tilting top. This machine is equipped with cross cut and rip saws and these may be changed without stopping the machine. The power for the turn- ing lathes is furnished by a generator which is run by a small motor. This arrangement is necessary because of the variable speed of the lathes. With this splendid equipment it is not surprising that the 72 boys who are taking the manual training course are able to turn out such efficient work. However, this department consists not only of wood work but also of mechanical drawing. The drawing room has full equipment of 20 benches. This course is invaluable to students who intend to take a course in engineering. All work in the manual training department is under the direction of Mr. Karl Miller, assited by Mr. Harry M. Hadden. — Ben Wood ue HE language department of the Salina high school ranks M with any other in state of Kansas. None of the large high schools in the state have more competent instructors than have we in our own Salina high. The languages offered in this course are German and Katin, and there is not one student in high school who is not more or less familar with rooms number 11 and 13. In the German deparment there are three years of this study- offered to the students. The freshmen struggle with the German grammar and reader in order to prepare themselvess for the classics which are studied in sophomore and junior years. There are three classes in the course, the total enrollment of which is seventy-five. The classics which are studied in the sophomore and junior classes are old German folk stories written in a very entertaining style. The enrollment of the sophomore class is thirty-eight, while that of the third year is fifteen. The German language is a very practical one, and the student having this subject in his course of study may Fifty be benefited ery much by his high school career if his energy is pioperly applied. On the other hand there are four years of Latin offered, and a pupil taking one year of Latin generally finishes his course. In the freshman year, a Latin Grammar and Composition book is used. The freshmen often have signs of despair over this book but their instructor diligently prods them upon their way. The sophomores are offered Caesar as a diversion. There is interest shown on the part of the pupils all the way thru this book Maps are drawn and bridges built in thiscourse, to illustrate the different chapters. What poor Latin student has not spent hours of precious time lamenting the fact that Caesar ever built his famous bridge? Next in line comes the Orations cf Cicero, a privilege offered to jun- iors. To get this year well in hand one must have a thorough know- ledge of his grammar. Last but not least comes the last year of Latin Vergil. This is one of the many so called senior privi- leges’ ’ . This year is the most delightful and entertaining of all the four years of Latin. In all of the poetical constructions of Latin are studied. Fifty-one The total enrollment of the Latin department is one hun- dred — sixty of these being in the freshman class -and the remain- divided evenly in the other years. To be considered an educated person one must have had some Latin or German in his course of study. — Florence Hinchee Theorem: To prove that S. H. S. has the best mathematics department in Kansas. Hyp. : Given , two of the best mathematics teachers in the state and plenty of bright freshmen and sophomores. Cone. : Then the S. H. S. must have the best department of this kind in the state. Dem. : We have all been told since time immemorial that mathematics is the oldest of the known sciences and in fact, it does seem ages before you can get your two credits in this branch. Of course to be equal and above other schools the Salina high school has a well constructed mathematics department. The freshmen are all required to find the value of X before they have been in school a week although they themselves seem to be the truly unknown quantity. We are sure the wise old men of Athens would never have written such radical equations if they had been conscious that the youngest in the school would have to pass an examination in them. Miss Bess McKittrick is the worthy instructor of this most mysterious study of unknown letters, called algebra. Algebra III is also offered for the juniors who feel capable of taking another dose. However the majority of the pupils manage to get through these most exciting subjects, while there are a few honor pupils from time to time The sophomores are deeply plunged into the incomprehensible Fifty -two construction of angles. As geometry is a required subject for all those who are so unfortunate as to be in the class, many acute pro- positions come up just before exams. Under the able leadership of Miss Maude Camp many parallograms and triangles are formed, often in a purely original manner and proofs for these are found. Moreover, solid geometiy is offered only to those who feel that mental exercise is the best thing for them. After the instructors have drawn a few geometrical designs on the grade cards, some pupils are advanced into the higher mathematics. In short, algebra and geometry are required subjects in all the course and no one may graduate from high school without the necessary credits. These subject are very beneficial in higher math- ematics and also train the mind to reason. Algebra III and solid geometry are elective subjects for juniors but, nevertheless, these classes are generally large. —Thelma Short HIST WPJk £L y ' ' HE kingdom of history in the Salina high school is divid- er ed between two monarchs. Freshmen and sophomores are enrolled in Ancient History. Into the Ancient History classes, which are two in number, timid freshmen come. Here they wrestle with the history of the world in the dim ages of long ago. The English history classes are composed of sophmores and juniors. In these classes the history of the world is narrowed down to a study of England alone. Miss Fones rules relentlessly over American History and a new historical course called Contemporary Life. American History is a special senior privilege and one to which the under classmen look forward with great pleasure. Here the senior is often remind- ed of his rank by hearing the oft repeated sentence, “You recite like an eighth grader; now talk like a senior. Contemporary Life is a new course consisting of a study of modern times and current events. The Literary Digest and The Outlook are used as text books Fifty-three and are diligently studied from cover. This includes even the advertisements. Long ago has the Currency Bill and tariff ques- tion been settled. The price of eggs has taken hours of discussion. If history is your favorite, the Salina high school is the place to go for instruction. Frances Brown I N glancing at the different departments of the school study it seems that the science department is the largest; for there are included under this department phvsics, chemistry, botany zoology, and agriculture. A course in each one of these separate branches is unusually complete for a high school course. The phvsics department is one of the best in the state. This is due to the splendid equipment through which the pupils are able to work out the experiments so thoroughly that whatever they lea n is impressed emphatically upon their minds. As a rule, the teach- er’s epuipment for explaining problems in class is superior to that used by the students in experimenting, but this school is noted for having an unusually good department for the good of the pupil. Next in rank to physics is that department of chemistry which is equal to that of physics. During the last term in connection with this department was added for girls the chemistry course which has to deal with domestic science. Since girls who wish to take advanced domestic science at the universities are compelled to take chemistry at some time; hence it was decided to annex this branch to the chem- istry department. This consisted only of experiments worked out by Miss Armstrong of the domestic science department. This, be- ing so very successful, it will probably be continued hereafter for girls expecting to make a thorough study of domestic science after leaving high school. One might classify zoology as the next in order of the sciences. This department besides being well equipped is proud of the fact that it gathers its own material for experimenting. This has been done in the past by Miss Frederick and Miss March, who because Fifty-fovr of the interest they have taken in their subject of teaching have gone to Puget Sound during summer months for this material, of which there is a goodly amount on hand. The botany course besides being closely related in its subject to that of zoology, is equally well furnished, since it is considered the most complete botany department in the state. The study of agriculture although it has only been introduc- ed for two years, has excited great interest and will soon be on an equal basis with the other branches of science. Although many oth er cities in Kansas are larger than Salina and also have larger high schools they cannot put forth a better equipped science depaitment than the Salina high school. — Leslie Maxwell O X the fourth story of the high school building, among the gables, may be found a very interesting department. Inter- esting, not because everything isqihet and sublime, for quite the opposite is this noisy realm of typewriters, rulers, accounts and problems. The noise and the hustle and bustle of a down town office can scarcely equal it. Because, here where the plodding fresh- men, sophmores, juniors, and seniors learn to be business-like, there the clicking of a dozen typewriters goes on from eight twenty to twelve thirty. Between each period there is a lapse of the clicking till a new class of pupils starts their hour’s work. Through all of this clicking Miss Frances Hamilton instructs her classes in the class room proper. Higher arithmetic, bookkeep- ing, stenography, and dictation classes have their share of the time in her curriculum. During this year eighteen pupils have been taught the sub- stance of higher arithmetic in banking and all sorts of business cal- Fifty-five dilations. Each year and especially this year more pupils have elected this course than could possibly be accommodated. They are turned away only to return when there is room in the classes. For second year students, book keeping is offered. The in- tricacies of ledgers, day-books and cash-books are solved. In this realm of red ink, black ink, rulers’ pens and shipping tags these happy sophomores preparing for their vocations, perform business transactions that seem very real. One particular phase of the work is the keeping of a set of books in the pupil’s own name for a ears work. Each student has his check book from the Salina High School Bank, an imaginary institution. Different students preform the duties of the banker or cashier. Of course, several days tran- sactions are carried on in forty minutes, but the practice is beneficial, nevertheless. At the end of the year’s work the invoices are figured and the present worth, cash on hand, liabilites and notes are all settled up satisfactorily Juniors take up as the third year of the business course, sten- ography. Each year this course becomes more important. This year was no exception, with twenty pupils enrolled. By the third day of school all knew ' their p, b, t, d, chay, jay, kay and gav’s as W ell as their a, b, c’s. By mid term words, signs, and sentences constructed and by the end of the last quarter “real for sure enough” business letters w r ere written, transcribed and typewritten. Typewriting is required of pupils taking the stenography course. Lastly, comes the dictation class. This is a new course pro- vided for the gaining of speed, accuracy and perfection of the work of the stenography students. A review of shorthand, dictation and the transcribing of the dictated letters are features. Because of the great amount of work required of seniors to whom this course is offered, but four will have completed the entire shorthand course. By thorough study and application there is no longer the need of high school graduates attending business colleges to prepare for contact wdth the w ' orld. — Neva Anderson Fifty-six I N the spring of 1911 printing was added to the Manual Arts Department of our high school. Because tiie Board of Education did not feel authorized to pay out money for such a depart- ment, the school through the efforts of Supt. John Lofty, borrowed the money to install the necessary equipment. In the beginning, our epuipment consisted of a Chandler-Price Press, a machine for stapling pages together, a small stock of type, and a few small tools used a- round a print shop. The total value was about $600. The Board Education soon realized that they were being ' benefited by the printing which was done for them, and so added a paper cutter, and some type to our equipment. Besides paying back the money, which we borrowed to buy oui first equipment with, we have added new equipment to our de- partment each year, partly with money realized from The Habit , and partly with money received from the Board of Education. At the present our equipment consists of a Chandler-Price Press, an Art Caxton Platen Press, about ten styles, and sizes of type, a paper cutter, a machine for stapling pages together, a good supply of cuts and many small tools used around a print shop. The total value of our equipment is about $1700. The course which is now offered includes type-setting, proof reading, proof-correcting, technical terms, job work, composition, imposition, cleaning and distributing type, presswork, binding, and designing. Fifty-seven The printing classes are conducted on the plan of a model print shop, each pupil having a definite position. A complete stock of pap- er, inks, etc. is carried in the pressroom, and accurate accounts are kept of the amount of material used, and the amount of work done on each job. The text used is “Printing”, by S. J. Vaughn. The Inland Printer, and the Ren Franklin Monthly are also used for reference. One of the reasons for installing a printing department was so that we could print our own high school paper. As soon as the equipment had been installed, the work of printing our paper, The Habit, commenced. The first number of The Habit was a small paper containing only twenty pages Three hundred copies were published each issue. The size of The Habit has constantly increased until at the present time our regular month- ly paper contains forty pages, and the commencement issue contains 112 pages. The number of copies printed per issue is now 800. Besides printing The Habit, we also do all of the printing for the Board of Education and the Athletic Association. The printing done for the Board of Education for the first four months of this year would have cost them $400 if it had been done outside. When printing was added to our Manual Department, it was feared that few would wish to take it. It is now, three years after regarded as one of the most practical additions to the school equip- ment. This year there are 34 in the printing classes. Printing over- shadows all of the other manual work in usefulness. It not onl teaches the pupil to work, but spelling, punctuation, paragraphing, sentence construction are all put into practical use. In publishing a school paper many other advantages are gained by the school. Editors, business managers, designers, illustrators, cartoon- ists, proof-readers, reporters, compositors, and pressmen, each have a part in making the paper a success. We have found in the last four years that the printing department is one of the greatest things the school has ever undertaken . — Paul A. Kuhn.

Marion Ciawford, high school actors had a chance to show how real nobility conducts itself. The characters of the play were lords, ladies, dowagers, counts and social - aspir- ants; the scenes were elegant homes of British officials; the plot wove itself around the pecuniary difficulties of the cabinet minis- ter and his wife, and the love affair of their daughter. Characters were all well simulated. Florence Kirtland, as the extravagant but lovable wife of The Cabinet Minister, charmed the audience not only with her acting but also with her striking costumes. Luella Morin the dowager “with a motive, manipulated a lorgnette with appar- ent ease. The “Mater” - and - “Bah - Jove” part was very well playedby Harry Robinson. Florence Hinchee and Lloyd Muir acted well, also. As a whole, the play was another proof of the fact that Salina high school alwa} s does her best. Special mention should be made of all the costumes; in spite of the fact that there were a great many to be secured and that all were borrowed in Salina, they add- ed materially to the success of the performance. All who were kind enough to lend garments helped just so much the Salina high school in this undertaking and to them we express sincere thanks. Much credit is due to the orchestra, directed by Mrs. Brooks. The numbers were well received. Those taking part in the play were:- George Bailey, David Anderson. Lloyd Muir, Harry Robinson, George Williamson, Mac Short, Adelbert Cha nbers, Louis Gottschick, Duane Marcotte, Weslic Adkinson, Luella Morin, Mildred Neptune, Margaret Wal- ker, Florence Kirtland, Dorothy Fulton, Frances Brown, Florence Hinchee, Julia Sellabarger, and Genevieve Short. Canata The first cantata ever produced by the pupils of the Salina high school was successfully sung by a chorus of fifty voices from the music classes and six high school soloists, all trained and supervised bv the director of music in Salina schools. Miss Vera Eber- hardt. The cantata, Ruth, in its simple story and simple emotional appeal was well adapted to the voices of high school people. The soloists , Madge Rush, Martha Ess, Lorena Ryberg, Marjorie Pike, Byron Donmyer and Donald Lovett, sang very well. As a whole, the first cantata was a production for the Salina high school to be very proud of. Sixty-six QUEM JUPITER VULT PERDERE DPJMENTAT PRUTS (Continued from Page 3 6) lently insane when they discovered that they were to have 450 girls about them, because you see that were very timid”. A clatter of glass and the hum of machinery greeted my ears. This is the only way to keep peace with these two girls”, said ray guide. Aeneas hath seized his spear and passed on.’’ Florence Hineliee and Edith Mitchell were entirely surrounded by test tubes, gas jets and machinery of all description. J en ible accident, explained my guide. These girls re - ceived such a good start in physics in the Salina high school that they bacanie two of the world’s most noted physicists. They were trying to make a high explosive from water to revolutionize auto- m obi ling. They got it to explode all right but the shock was too much for their brains. There are no records of their experiments. ’’ When we opened the door to the next cell I wondered if it were the attic. The room was in terrible disorder, chairs overturn and papers over the floor— and Mr. Arthur Johnson at a desk throwing more paper around. “Where can it be, ”he kept muttering. “Where can I have put it?” I turned for information to my guide. He is hunting for the only copy of the Johnsonian heroiic couplet and Brownian Metricduatrain both having been used in the same poem. But he will never find it. Emminent literary men now have it in their possession trying to figure out where the poetry conies in. I’m expecting them to arrive as applicants to the asylum any day. ’’This was Pruett’s explanation. The next rcom was a very pandemonium of raving. Two girls whom I recognized as May Brewster and Frances Baumert were sitting opposite to each other each arguing the good points of a certain boy. “Rave on; Cleopatra,” cried Pat, “thy Octavius is a fickle one.” When the door to the next room opened I saw a man dress- ed in the height of English drawing room fashion drinking tea and making polite remarks to an imaginary audience. It was Harry Robinson. “He has found his correct sphere at last”, said Pru- ett. He imagines he is Sir Percy Fauntleroy Fotbes-Pankingham”. Sixty-seven The next room resembled an army hall with Lieut. Gen. Clayton Paris in charge. My guide explained. ' ‘We sometimes have battles in here in which Private Paris is alway promoted to General for bravery in action”. As we left Gen. Paris a wild man came tearing around the corner and grabbed us by the hand. ‘Congratulate roe’ , he cried, “I’ve done it. I’ve graduated. ” It was my old friend Niquette. “He graduates on an average of 60 times a day” , said Pat. From the next cell such sentences as these were heard, “if you follow her principles the nation will end in ruin: march on- ward to victory with the right and vote my way. ” “The hatred that existed between Juno and Venus was nothing compared to the hatred that existed between these two political leaders. Edith Weis and Elizabeth Weburg ran against each other for senatorship in the campaign of 24 and they both be- came so excited that they have since been mentally unbalanced. The river Styx flows on”. Two demure looking men in caps and aprons were busy in the next room cooking imaginary eatables with a few pans. “if fate had only spared their minds you would be eating bread made out of flour ground from the seeds of dandelions; these two domestic science geniuses would have revolutionize cooking ' if their minds had not become affected. “As it is,” continued m guide, “the purple couches in the banqueting halls shall be va- cant.” I recognized Paul Kuhn and Wesley Adkinson. A clapping hands was heard in the next and my guide said, “Another lecture.” What do you mean?” I asked. “Well, you see, Winifred Allison and Viola Baker went on the lecture platform and because of the lack of applause they became insane. So each day they give lectures and applaud themselves. O, thecurse of Minerva is heavy upon them.” Perfect silence came from the next cell and when the door was opened I saw Morris Johnson entirely surrounded by dolls; big dolls, little dolls, and dolls of all descriptions. “Too bad” explained my guide, but it was bound to happen. Morris always had had a tender spot in his heart for the freshmen girls but, alas, he became interested in too many dolls and what Sixty -eight brain can with-stand that.” The next cell contained our eminent friend J. Vernon Brown hx- Chicago Cub) busily engaged in memorizing the dictionary. The next was a school room on the model of kindergarden and Mary Kilgore and Hildegarde Graham teaching a class similar to the freshman classes of the Salina high school . No wonder their minds gave away. As members of their class I recognized Arta Cave, Elizabeth Benfield, Edith Anderson, Ben Wood and Floyd Newcomb. 1 hese were so tickled at graduating that they went crazy and their craze took the form of doing what they had not wanted to do when in their right minds. An attempt at musical sounds came from the next cell and my guide explaned, Rush and Pike. They ‘do it’ every day.” A woman came to me and asked me if I had seen that crazy Simpson kid. His material for the Habit isn’t in yet. By the way do you know any jokes?” By her speech I recognized her - Thelma Short. As I passed out the door I saw Neva Anderson busy with a rake and spade. As ever,” said Pruett, trying to be a Gardner. ” A herd of contented cows greeted me in the barnyard with John Kirtland happily engaged in chasing the flies off of them and holding umbrellas over the heads of the calves who would not stay in the shade. My guide now led me through the asylum cemetery. What was my sorrow to see that some of my classmates had proceed- ed me to the next world. As Pat said, The ferryman on the river Styx has been busy lately. ’ ’ On one grave was this epitaph; Here lies Jennie Boswell, si- lent in death as in life.” Another contained this; “Leslie Maxwell broke his lee and was shot June 1, 1920.” In one lot were t� vo stones.

It is not necessary to state that our football season for the year 1913 was a rousing success from both the athletic and financial points of view. We need only to look at our record: five victories, two ties and only one defeat to make us feel proud of our splendid team. But along with this also comes the fact that we ended the season with $156.89 in the Athletic Association treasury. The season was a success from the start. With about twenty- five men out for practice, Coach Edwards soon formed the squ id into two strong teams. After the first game there came littl e change in the line-up. “Pat” Pruett, our captain , played a steady game the entire season at left guard, while Weaver and Niquett held down the opposite position. Parker and Jones the best pair of tackles in the state, were always on the aggressive side from start to finish, while Muir and Kirtland, played next to them, seldom missed a tack- le during the game and c mid always be seen following the pigskin. In thebackfield Toomey, the man with the “football head plaved a heady game at quarter. In back of him stood our line plunger Smith. The honors for the halfback positions are divided between “big and little chief” Evans and Chambers. The “chiefs” plaved the positions regularly, while Chambers, the fastest man on the team and our utility man, played almost every position on the team. Seventy-two THE FOOTBALL TEAM True to last year’s record the Salina H. S. basketball team of 1914 won not only the Solomon Valley league championship, but also that of the Fifth Congressional District. It followed last year’s record even more closely, we are sorry to say, and as a represent- ative of this district, the team was defeated by the Reno Countv H. S. in the state championship meet at Newton. Salina finished the season with only three defeats, by the Minneapolis H. S. , the Business College, and by Reno County H . S. The first two of these were later avenged by defeating these teams in a second game. The chief reason for the season’s success lay in the fact that three of this year’s team were on the 1913 squad. Parker, Maxwell, Jones and Bergsten won places on the all-tournament team. Parker, captain and center, was chief point-maker, his goal shooting winning many games for the S. H. S. Jones and Maxwell were guards to be proud of, Maxwell the best running guard in the state, and Jones a tower of strength on defense. Cannon, Burch and Bergsten divided the forward honors, and tho all were new men they played well. Edgar and Llovd Muir should also be mentioned for their good work at guard. Seventy -four BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM In justice to the girls who played on the Salina high school basketball team, to the coach Mr. George Edward, to the rooters and supporters and to the Salina High School itself, it may be said that the project was a successful one. As usual many obstacles stood in the way of a team victori- ous. The girls as a whole were interested and turned out to prac- tise in a number large enough from which to select a strong team. The loss of the last year’s captain and center at Christmas time handicapped the team somewhat but it was not long till Mr. Edwards had a team which could play reasonably good basketball. The first game was with Ellsworth. We are not sure whether it was a “game” or not .although the term “sport” could probably be applied. The Salina did not even get a fair chance at the baskets. The game started with a rush but no time did the home girls give up their defensive play against the strong team of the visitors. The score at the end of the first half was 26 to 2. In the last half the playing was a trifle more even; the score of this half was 8 to 2 in favor of Ellsworth The second game of the season was a hard and roughly con- tested one at Abilene. At no time was it assured which would be the winning team. The score at the end of the first half was 10 to 10. In the last session of the play the Salina girls made a brilliant fight and won the game with a three point margin. Eater, the Abilene girls were played in the S.H S. gymnas- ium was practically a referee’s game. Over fifty fouls were called which alone made the game very slow and uninteresting. Because of the close guarding of the Salina guards they were fouled re- peatedly. Mr . Steeper of Abilene who refereed the game announced the final score as 26 to 24 in Abilene’s favor. The last game was with Ellsworth at Ellsworth. Salina’s only hope was to keep the score of Ellsworth down and try run up her own. It was here the Salina girls played their best game. The guards were wonderful, the centers though much smaller than the towering Ellsworth centers played well and held their own, the forwards used good team work and played consistently with the centers. The plan to hold the score was in a way realized. For as the girls will tell you there is a difference between 34--4 and 29 — 9. The girls who received S’s for their basket-ball work this year were: Edith Crowther, Neva Anderson, forwards; Inez Mack, Eeta Wyatt, centers; Ruth Burke, Verva Freeman, guards; Euella Morin Helen Stevenson, Lavina Kring, Marion Gray, Mildred Neptune, Margaret Berg, substitutes. Seventy-six GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM Track work started under a handicap. Salina has not had a track team for five or six years and everythin - was new to the boys. However, some good material has appeared and is developing rapidlv. Vernon Brown, our colored athlete, in the dashes, Adelbert Chambers in the dashes and hurdles Burch, Bergsten and Cannon in the jumping, Bergsten and Woods in pole vault, Bailv in the dis- tances and Cannon and Parker in the weights are the chief ones al- though there is other promising material. ' Phe seniors won the interclass meet with ease with a team composed of Brown, Parker, Woods (Capt), Adkinson, Seiver, Berg- sten, Niquette, and L. Muir. The inter-schoolastic meets arranged so far are with Abilene at Abilene May 2nd and Minneapolis at Salina May 8th. It is hop- ed others will be obtained.

This is the first real showing of school pride shown this year. Salina should take more care to help beautify her schools. The school is where the town is educated, and if the town is educated in bare ugly schools the town is very apt to become bare and ugly. Every school in Salina should have its parkings sown to blue- grass and a small space in front for a flower bed. On the sides of the buildings ivy or some other climbing plant should be planted to give a finished appearance. In Grammar School and in all of the schools every class should do all in its power to beautify the school, for if the stu- dents have not enough school pride to help make their school the prettiest in the town the older citizens cannot be expected to take any interest.

Eighty The names on the Honor Roll decrease very perceptiablv up through the grades until in the Grammar School they are almost Gods who get their names written on the blackboard under the magic words; Honor Roll ? , although their conduct is very far from being as good as that which is expected of one of those immortal beings. The art of being on the Honor Roll is confined to a few. These are of course the most studious of the “Sons and Daughters of Grammar School. Here are the names of some of the few to which this art is confined: Henrietta Steifel, Margaret McAdams, Elmer Pressan, Vera Nichols, Bessie Ferguson, Rolland Cravens, Ethel Law, Jul- iette Wakenhut, Zella Conkling. These are those whose names have been on the Honor Roll most of the time this year. There are a few others however, who have been on the Honor Roll’’ one or more times. Could You Imagine Randal Dickey sober? Henry Clark dirty? Ethel Law frivolous? Christopher Vanorden bad? Earl Waterbury with his lessons? Vera Nichlos mean? Kenneth Meyers short? Eva Henderson as a teachers pet? Henrietta Stiefel tall? Henry Thompson away from the office? Howard Eriny sitting still? Eugene Johnson’s front hair cut short? Bessie Ferguson without her lessons? Hazel Ashman not giggling? Edna Lightfoot not talking? Everett Gibson in his place? The Brubaker girls light haired? Eighty-one Pearl Aldaffer without her hat? Harry Paris in long trousers? How it would pain Juliette Wakenhut to not have her lesson? Frances Me Dowell grown tall? Lawrence Burr anxious to get I’s? Herbert Rogers trying to phase his teachers? Mabel M.: May I have papers to scratch on? Nola Sterner(in D.A.): Miss Barr, shall I cut my sides next? Olive A.: Did you know the Denver Post was sueing the Kan- sas City Star for slaughter man-slaughter? Nola S. : Guerillas are men w T ho get down on the ground and claw like animals.

The Sunday school teacher was talking to her pupils on pat- ience. She explained her topics carefully, and, as an aid to under- standing, she gave each pupil a card bearing the picture of a boy fishing. Even pleasure,” shesaid, “requires the exercise of patience See the boy fishing; he must sit and wait and wait. He must be patient.” Having treated the subject very fully she began with the simplest, most practical question: And now can any little boy tell what we need most when we go fishing?” The answer was shouted with one voice: “Bait”. — Ex.

At Last After four years patient climbing up the steps of this old high we, the seniors, are at last going to say good-bye. We have hazed the greenest freshman; we have shocked the faculty, until with awe they recognized our great veracity. Caesar’s battles we have fought, we have learned the longest poems, when we could have been more helpful with the garden tools at home. We have solved for x and y; we have stayed in physics lab, until from sheer exhaustion we went home in a cab. Now, we’re ready for the sheep skin, which we’ve earned, so hard, oh my! but we always shall be loyal to old Salina High. Eighty-four A recent Speiker in Chapel savs ' ‘The Japs — thrifty people — purchased or rented small patches of land and began to raise chidren.” Now, this is interesting to hear. We have a small piece of ground in the back yard of the ancestral estate on which we have often raised radishes and lettuce with from fair to middlin ' success, but we have never attempted to raise children. The fact is, it sounds like a fairy tale to us. The author’s patch is about 20 x 20 feet. We would like to know how big a crop we ought to get from this. Does it need sunlight or does it grow like mushrooms? We are obliged to our speaker for this lesson in agriculture but he is entire- ly too sparing of details. What I Think About In Church. I came in church late Sunday morning but as this is a very common occurrence with me it did not annoy me in the least. Cooking over the congregation I saw several members of the faculty who looked the very picture of innocence as if they had never put down low mark in the black book and expected to put down many more. As the opening song was “Holy, Holy, Holy’’ my thoughts turned to high school as that is no unheard song there. The subject of the sermon was Moses and the Ten Commandments and I im- mediately thought of Mr. Brooks standing on the platform telling us in a most emphatic tone, not to float thru the halls and always— to go to the study hall. I then thought of my unprepared history lesson and the commandment I would receive to come back to con- ference. When the announcements were read I thought of that news I was to bring in for English. Then I tried to think of our physics lesson and how you get density when mass and volume are given and decided the density was with me and not in the problem. Contemporary Life and the Virgil lesson seemed rather mixed as to whether Anchises was running for Gov. on the Fusion ticket or if Aeneas first saw Dido in Tammany Hall. As the minister em- phasized the commandment to honor your parents and elders I though of the material for the Habi-t I had promised to bring in Mon- day. Just then the notes of the closing hymn came as a war cry awakening me from my romancing about Hiawatha and I awoke to the fact that I had been in church in body and not in mind. Eighty -five In deciphering the inscription, “Have you registered? Do it now,” a little first grader gave this interpretation, “Have you rad- ishes? Do it now.” Clayton P. (in physics) “A sound made within a vacuum can not be heard ’ Mr. Klaumann “is that why we sometimes say we can not ‘hear ourselves think?’ ” A Freshman’s Optimistic View Freshman boy (attending history conference) “ Well, one good thing. I only have three more years of this.” Something New in the Line of Eats On his journeys Robert Stevenson took along a coaloil stove and other things to eat. I in Physics, I in English, I in History Oh, what joy and glee. But the sad part of this story Each I was multiplied by three. A Sign of Spring Fever. The freshmen have now reached a point where they classify all verbs as despondent verbs. Rotten Eggs and Roses Coutinued from page 37 The “Exchange” department is also well edited and, perhaps, the most interesting because here we can see ourselves as others see us. I am sure that all agree with me that the last cover of The Habit is by far the most attractive and according to the dignity of the High School. The number of complimentary comments given on The Habit by disinterested people is noticeable. Everyone seemed to be of the same mind as a gentleman whom I overheard: “man , you don’t mean to tell me that’s all done by kids?” Nana Perry Burwell Eighty-six CANTATA CHORUS ORCHESTRA “THE CABINET MINISTER” CAST SoioiTxon Y Lley £e v i e Ocyi i rilcr- cl ns trophy y on by Szniof s 3v ' ajikit codded to tr ' ojihj ■ CASe in } 9 3 d ad Vy S � on bfsini r ™ tr SJ cttrohhf- :rcv- Txroxi £% v P«- K V w- Av,V. iff f i f, .
