Sandwich High School - Reflector Yearbook (Sandwich, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1912 volume:

INTRODUCTION OUR work is done and we the class of ’13 place the £ H. S. REFLECTOR in J=U your hands. We hope that it will create a greater school spirit and long remain a momentum of this happy school year. We also wish to extend our hearty thanks to everyone who has helped to make this book a success. —THE STAFF. ' ELLA ALLER SHIRLEY J. COONS MUSIC ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FLORENCE RAMP MATHEMATICS W. W. WOODBURY SUPERINTENDENT 4 ELIZABETH KOSLOWSKY LANGUAUX MAUDE WEBSTER PRINCIPAL THE FACULTY Mr. Woodbury, our Superintendent, guides the timid upper classmen through the mazes of Chemistry. So devoted are the students to this subject that it is hard to get them from the Chemistry recitation to their next class. Their favorite retreat is the lab. Mr. Woodbury is a strict task-master, but so kindly Is his manner of compelling their allegiance, that his students regret leaving his classes and gladly sign for another course under his able instruction. Miss Webster, our Principal, Ohio Wesleyn University, has charge of the English Department and Public Speaking. Theme reading is her chief occupation and topic sentences her delight while a new story plot is cause for a general celebration. As a means of recreation she coaches plays and debates; plans carnivals and class day programs and revises Senior orations. Miss Webster Is a firm believer in having plenty of things moving in order to keep the students busy and the school up-to-date. Miss Elizabeth Koslowsky, Michigan State Normal School, holds sway in the language Department. She is strenuously devoted to Carlyle’s Gospel of Work.” She endeavors to cross the word flunk” from the pupil’s dictionary, even tho he has to stay after school to accomplish the result. That her system is a good one is proved by the large number electing Latin and the small number of failures in that subject. The History Department is in charge of Mr. S. J. Coon, Beloit College. Special assignments and note books are Mr. Coon’s chief joy. The former vary from 3 to 90 pages, and the latter require a critical eye and an unwearied hand. If the student refuses to talk, or to linger in the halls, an assignment in history is on. In spite of the extra work required Mr. Coon’s classes are popular. Miss Ramp, Knox College, enjoys originals in Geometry. So do her pupils to judge by their fine demonstrations. No class in years has covered so much work, and in such a thorough manner as this Geometry Class. Of course, Miss Ramp teaches Algebra, Zoology and Botany and conducts field excursions and examinations and other things, but her heart is in Geometry. Miss Aller. Cosmopolitan Music School, has charge of the Music Department for the sixth consecutive year. Miss Aller adds to an excellent training in music, a thorough experience in teaching. Our only regret in this department is the limited time that can be devoted to it.

Four long and happy years have been spent at the Sandwich High School. In our Freshman year the first event of importance was a class party on February 5th at the Odd Fellow’s Hall. About a week later the class enjoyed a bob-ride into the country. On the evening of May 13th we Freshmen carried out a well-planned surprise for our teacher. Miss Anderson. On May 28th the Freshmen girls had the honor of joining in the cantata,” The Coronation of the Rose” given by the Girls Glee Club at the Opera House. On June 2nd of the following year we, the Sophomores, held our class picnic at Hennis camp. On December 1st of our Junior year we united forces with the Seniors and gave a Senior-Junior Carnival at the Opera House. On May 12th of the same year the Seniors entertained us at the home of Hester Stinson and two weeks later we gave them a progressive reception at the homes of Grace and Eva Ogilvie, Mildred Anderson and Elizabeth Beveridge. On September 4th we came back for our Senior year. Our Senior-Junior carnival of 1911 at the Sandwich High School was fully as successful and novel as the preceeding one. Our Senior Class Flay, “At the End of the Rainbow given at the Opera House on March 22nd was as highly a success as our other undertakings. SENIORS LEONE STEVENS LLOYD FAXON ELIZABETH BEVERIDGE We feel that as a class we deserve to be praised not only for our social glory but also for our studious spirit. Our class has the largest number of average credits of any class having graduated from the school, the average number being 17.2 credits. Near the close of our Sophomore year we had a class debate on Resolved that our school should have single secession.” The negative was supported by Grace Ogilvie and Mildred Anderson and the affirmative, the winning side was supported by Claude Bearasley and Fred Blackinton, who for two years was a member of our class. In our Junior year we were more daring and debated with the Seniors on “Resolved that our National Defenses should be strengthened.” Our side, the negative was supported by Fred Blackinton, Grace Ogilvie and Mildred Anderson. Altho the Seniors carried away the laurels we feel that our debaters were a credit to our class. Layard Thorp, who has successfully held his place as president of the Senior Class came over from Somonauk and joined us in our Junior year. He Is on our base-ball and foot-ball teams and plays the comet in the High School Orchestra. He also has the honor of being Class Poet and of having more credits than any other student except Grace Ogilvie. He was on our Senior Debate. SENIORS GRACE HARTER CLAUDE BEARDSLEY EVA OGILVIE Karl Kaiser, also from Somonauk, holds his place on our foot-ball team and plays the trombone in the Orchestra. Loyd Faxon, who has been with us the four years, is on the foot-ball team He plays the mandolin in the orchestra and is a member of the High School Boy’s Quartet. He will write for us the Class Will. Claude Bearsdley, who has also been with us the four years is a member of whom we are justly proud. Aside from being on the winning side in the Sophomore Debate he has gained our attention thru the fact that during his Junior year he had charge of a class in Commercial Arithmetic. In October of our Senior year we were certainly glad to hear that a boy from Hock Falls would soon be with us. When Rockwell Clancy arrived we gave him a royal welcome and he soon won his way. He is now a member of the High School Quartet. He has the honor of being Class Orator and alternate for our Senior-Junior debate. Kva Ogilvie has faithfully served as our Secretary this year, her reputation as an officer having been established when she was our class president during our Freshman and Sophomore years. She plays the violin in the orchestra and has charge of the Class Gifts. it SENIORS GRACE OG1LVIE LAYARO THORP LOUISE CLEM Grace Ogilvie shares with Layard Thorp the honor of having more credits than the other members of the class. She has taken four years of English, four years of Latin and two years of1 German and has been on three debates. She plays the piano in the orchestra and has written the Senior ('lass Song. Ruth Hennis came from the East Aurora High School and joined us in our Sophomore year. She takes Second Honors in the Senior Class. In her Junior year Ruth taught First Year Algebra and during the same year she faithfully served as class President. Leona Stevens came over from Somonauk and joined us in our Junior Year. She has served on various committees and has been a real addition to our class both socially and as a faithful student. Mildred Anderson joined as in our Freshman year. She also has been on three debates. In her Junior year she taught Plane Geeomtry and this year had a class in First Year Algebra. Mildred takes first honors in the Senior Class. Elizabeth Beveridge who has been a member of our class for four years was for three years secretary of our class. She will give the Class Prophecy. Her enthusiastic class spirit has made her invaluable in promoting the best interests of the Seniors. u SENIORS Ixmise Clem has been with us four years. She is an enthusiastic promoter of class spirit and is active in every enterprise for the Rood of the class. Edna Cooper who will write for us the Class History has a fine record as a student having Third Honors in the class. She will, no doubt, bring us great credit in the future, as she plans to teach. Grace Harter started in the Freshman year with us but on account of illness was not able to finish it but she came back in the Sophomore year and has completed the four years work with credit to herself and to her class. last but not least is Blanche Lincoln. During her Freshman year she played on the Basket Ball Team. She is now pianist for the Chorus (’lass and has charge of the music for Commencement. She is teaching a class in First Year Algebra this year. Of Blanche we are justly proud for she has been neither absent nor tardy during her twelve years of school life. Class Motto—“Impossible is Un-American. Class Colors Gold and White. Class Flower—Daisy. JUNIOR CLASS It JUNIOR CLASS Thus the first week in September in the year of 1909 that the green looking class of 1913 became members of Sandwich High. Thev were nearly fifty strong and so strong at least that the Sophomores dared not haze our hearty lads. The class of 1913 furnished many men for the Football Team of 1909; one of its men being captain and from then on have thev furnished the greatest percent, of the men that defend the dear old colors of orange and black. The little freshies. like all Freshies, were a very studious class but to their sorrow they forgot that if one got below an average of 90 he was in the exams and so many a little Freshie the final evam did take. The only social event of the year was the class picnic at Hennis’ ('amp on June 11th. Most of the class rode down in a bus and a merrv time they had. At the camp the day was spent in sitting around getting sunburned eating. and chasing two greedy Freshies who stole two quarts of ice cream. The class picnic closed the Freshman year and now every member of the class of 1913 is a full fledged Sophomore with a head on him or her that won t fit a number eight hat. ..... , .. r u The class of 1913 started the year of 1910-11 full of mischief. Ihey started right in and those poor Freshmen boys they did paint all over with red ink. At the Freshman party did go many boys with ink stains on his once of 1913 were defeated in debate by the rowdy little FYeshmen but our class never gave up and at a reception to the next year’s Freshies we defeated the little Freshies so bad that well they havn’t said a word about debate to us since. The Sophomore year for the class of 1913 again closed with a picnic at Hennis’ Camp where they had such a good time that they nearly forgot about getting home in time to see the commencement exercises of their friends through tick and tin the class of 1912. „ . , .... a,. . . The class of 1913 opened their third vear in High School very calm and cooled down. 1 hey again had one of their members captain of the Football Team. At the Senior Junior Carnival the Seniors a little fresh did get and hid our brand new flag of red and white in some secret place. But w’e kept quiet and not a word did we say until again our flag we had in our safe keeping. But the Seniors started the thing and so it was up to our brave warriors to finish it and out we set to do it and we did it as you soon shall see. It was on a cool night in November that our braves did assemble. Thev were armed with keys, ladders, ropes and the dear old flag of reel and white. All was dark as this little band to'the school house did go and soon upon the flag-pole they did put the glorious flag of red and white and there it staid to the dismay of every Senior until the class of 1912 had all seen the flag of 1JU wave over the roof of the studious and the home of much learning. Then to add more to the glory a few nights later through the help of a Freshman friend the homely flag of 1912 we did get and now its gone to nobody knows where and never will. During the winter months the class kept up its good record as of old and as the spring came on also came the time for the annual Senior-Junior debate. At the preliminaries three bright maidens were chosen to defend the glorv of the class of 1913 against these Seniors who our goat thev would like to get. Thus on the night of Mav 10th, a glorious night, this debate came off and after it was over the once proud and boasting Senior wished that it had never come for when the judges their decision they did read it was told to all that the class of 1913 had won the grand affair thanks to our women speakers. And so our Junior Year did close the most glorious year so far for the Class of 1913. SOPHOMORE CLASS l« THE SOPHOMORES Dear Readers of our Year Book. let. us introduce to you the class of 1914. We would like to acquaint you personally with each member, but as that is impossible, we will tell you about the Sophomores, as a class. We number twenty-seven, the largest of the upper classes. The Freshman Class exceeds us in numbers, but we fully atone for thus since we so far surpass them in brains. We say with all modesty, that the Sophomore Class is one of the finest ??) that ever entered Sandwich High. If you are inclined to doubt this, inquire of our principal. Miss Webster, who repeatedly affirms that she us proud of the Sophomores. In the first Semester’s work eight Sophomores scored an average above ninety in every one of their studies. SiJc others averaged above ninety in all but one subject. The Sophomore Class has a larger percent of Honor students than either the Juniors or the Freshmen. Our Caesar Class, numbering sixteen students, has the distinction of being the largest ever known in the history of the school. Furthermore, last Semester, no one failed in Caesar and eleven students averaged above ninety in the study. [jast Semester the Sophomore Class had the best average deportment record in High School. Among the many students whom we are especially proud of are our Honor Students—Edward Freeland. Viola Conn, Lila Hare. Leona Kietzman. Marie Sedgwick. Esther Noak, Lorena Kegel and Jeanette loombs. Benjamin Kietzman. our class president represents the Sophomores in the High School Male Quartett. “Bennie” sings first bass. Earnest Miller is our foot-ball star. Many a time “Ernie” has helped to win the day for Sandwich. And so on, we might mention each member of our class. But as most of you know us. personally, we are certain that you already realize what a fine bunch we are. We. the Sophomores, are proud of our School. Our hope is that we may so live and do in the years to come that Sandwich High will be proud of the Class of 1914. i FRESHMAN CLASS II FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman ('lass of 1911-12 started gloriously in to build up the Sandwich High School. Some of us tired and dropped out. again our ranks were added to by late-comers. We certainly beat the Sophomores all up in paper-fights. The Sophomores thought they had it all over us. They might have too, except for witty Ed Kukuk, President Tucker, and others. Ask the Freshman members of the foot-ball team about our popularity with the Seniors. The poor Freshmen are sneered at by the other classes; but if the five Freshmen on the eleven were dropped, where would Sandwich be in foot-ball? Aren’t we a jolly old class? Except Mildred Kehl; she was very blue, but they say Leonard Boyd is coming back when the com is in. We are thinking of giving an entertainment for the benefit of the floor fund.? ? ? For our first number we will ask popular Daniel Dickinson to give a bell solo. The girls are so jealous of his form! Gretchen Sibley will favor us with that Yiddish Rag. Then too, the twins, Irene Emerson and Goldie Wohlford, will sing a duet entitled “Down on the Farm.” Next will be an address by Donald McKindley on “The I rimary System of Education in Sandwich.” John Gunther has out a new story “The Time I Got Pinched. Perhaps he might read it to us. David Kell will read a poem (original) “Watch Out, Cecil, lakes are Dangerous.”! Wesley Anderson will render that famous fox, basket, and victuals stunt which has won him so much honor. Mable Halsey, one of our musical friends, will give a piano solo. Jack Tucker at this point will speak on his Presidential career. We are puzzled as to who will repeat that poem, “Oh, Why Isn’t His Head Turned?” Because Russell is always ’’Wright.” There are so many to choose from. Florence Jacobson has the patience of Job; but she can’t say “Caliphs”. Mabel Glaser, you need a dictionary to take care of your spelling. Your friends are sometimes too busy to help. Lois, how can you always have everything done. l� is Barrows studies. Mabel Klotz will shout till she is hoarse to make Miss Koslowsky hear. Isn’t it hard? Hildred Stahl’s hands never look cold, but they must be. Cold hands belong to a warm heart. n FRESHMAN CLASS Fern Schrader entered this year. We all know her; we can’t help it. Owen Rogers is a fine assistant janitor. (Be careful, Donald, Rex is larger than you. We are also anxious about our program. You must give your speech. Oh, what trouble can a small Berry create!) The Wit and Humor of a Nation are covered in Nels Roswell under a quiet exterior. He must speak out! Who says that Charles Carpenter does not study? He may not be as faithful as Ivan Cunningham, who, when given a reference, carefully copied the whole chapter. Wallace Cockran does his best to get to school these warm days, but what happens to him in the middle of the afternoon? No one can tell. Harry Darnell’s heart is in school this year. Why not a duet by these last two? Ieona Ogilvie On the committee. Gladys Thompson, who hasn’t a mark below good minus on her report, quakes at the thought of examinations. How does she do it? Oh, Paul, isn't a picnic with none as bad as with two girls? To return to our program; we have thought of asking Wendel 1-atham to sing “Dreaming . Our program will be closed by Mildred Rasmusen. our beloved secretary’ and treasurer, who has won the highest honors in our class. We invite you all to this program. The Freshmen are such fine entertainers, party, picnic, or program are enjoyed by all present. The Class of 1915 K FOOT BALL TEAM Faxon, T2, Right End Kukuk, 15.

CAPTAIN FIELDS played end in '09, next he secured Quarter-Back position. In 1910 he was elected captain. His men had a successful season. In 1911 he was re-elected captain. When the team needs a score Fields is the man to win it. FAXON has played Right End for two years. His tackling is a feature of the game and he makes great interference for his back-field men. KUKUK proved himself worthy of his position by his fast sprinting and fine blocking. His drop-kicking was fine. KAISER “the old stone wall playing at Right-End was all right. Whenever a Full-Back play was coming his way Kaiser was there to tear a hole big enough for his Full-Back to come through. CASTLE playing near “old stone wall” Kaiser would tear things up. Castle’s blocking saved many touchdowns. WOODWARD, altho a light guard is always there. When anything comes his way, it had no hope of escaping from him. Ripping holes in the line was his main point. MILLER, the best Center Sandwich ever had. His playing in defensive was fine. He has made many a big gain by his line plunges. O’SHADO, star Guard earned his position. His defensive was good. He proved a benefit to the team. ROGERS, Left Guard was good in his position. His weight made it hard for an opponent to get past him. COCK RAN, at I .eft Tackle showed market! improvement over former work. He was an addition to the team and always could be depended upon in his position. _ THORPE, His fast playing at left End made his position so secure that no one could claim it. Getting under punts was his main point. On defense he was in every play. DARNELL, Star Right Half Back won his position by fast running, good tackling and excellent head work. E. MEILINGER. Full Back was great on line plunging, usually bringing four or five yards. His defensive work was good. He was a great help to his team. R. MEILINGER. Left Half Back made long gains and was fine in tackling. His old straight arms were a great help! When he and Faxon were playing defease, woe to their opponents. FREELAND, sub, did good work for his first year. He ought to make regulars another season. a WAIT TILL IT’S WARMER (PARODY ON WAIT FOR THE WAGON ) The Request: . ..

Tommy Jones has a new goat!” shouted little Lawrence Smith as he rushed into his aunt s kitchen. ... “Sakes alive, what won’t that pesky child get next, he keeps this neighborhood in such a state that one’s life and property are in danger.” And well might the poor lady complain because the same Tommy Jones had made life miserable for the long suffering neighbors with his numerous pets and she. poor soul, lived next door to him. h irst it was a mongrel pup. This specimen hen entered her summer kitchen one morning, stolen the chops for dinner and upset her kettle of soft soap. Also every egg her hens laid was broken and the inside removed The poor pup got the blame for this as well. ext it was a great striped cat that ate all her young chickens. Then Tommy had added a garter-snake to his collection. Stripes as he was called got loose and Tommy was disconsolate until Aunt Sorilla nearly stepped on the reptile on her back porch, thereby receiving such a shock that she was compelled to stay in bed the rest of the day and that night her dreams were hideous with crawly things. As soon as she was able she complained to 1 ommy s mother who looked upon her only son as an angel. On this occasion poor Tommy acted the soul of injured innocence, so Aunt Sorilla vowed she would stand it without another word or move. And now a goat! For two days she saw nothing of the beast and she began to have hopes that this one was not so bad. w— 1 ... . .... cases and you in my yard !” She left the rest to Billy’s imagination. The next morning she heard a commotion among her chickens. Hurrying to the door she saw the goat knock over the last chicken coop and with a “Baa” race for home and safety. When order was nearly restored she straightened up only to see the goat coming toward her with lowered head. Being so frightened the thot of the house never entered her mind. Instead she clutched her skirts and hobbled around the barn as fast as her rheumatism permitted. Lpon rounding a corner she looked back. Billy was still on the trail. Rheumatism forgotten she flew around the next corner and ran for the house. Billy followed. Just as the door slammed shut she heard other feet and then I ommy Jones voice “Aw, that old maid thot you were going to serve her like the chicken coops and you only wanted to play with her, didn t you Bill.” “Old maid,! huh! play with me! Well I never.” That evening when Mr. Jones came home he found an irate old woman awaiting him. She poured forth her story and he thinking she had been annoyed enough promised to build a yard for Billy. When she stepped out upon the porch a childish voice piped, “Oh pop, if you had only seen her sprint around that barn.” G. H. T2. GETTING BACK TO NATURE Mr. Brown seemed unusually excited when he returned from the office that particular March evening. Mrs. Brown understanding her husband slightly better than everyone else, did, let matters take their own course. It had the desired effect and when seated at the breakfast table, Mr. Brown drew a letter from his pocket exclaiming “Now see here Mary, I propose that we take a genuine old fashioned vacation this summer. According to my mind a summer in the country will be just the thing. All the milk and cream you can use, and eggs so plentiful you can have angel-food cake every day! A nice shady place with no noise of street cars and everything else all day and night too. Why just think of the work you’d be saved, no smoke, or dirt of the city to clean up and not be wakened by whistles and trains at five o’clock in the morning. I tell you what, I am tired of this hum-drum city life—I want to get back to nature!” Mrs. Brown sipped her coffee in silence when he had finished, as tho’ used to such outbursts. Mr. Brown broke the silence by saying rather sharply— “Well, why don’t you say something? I suppose you’d rather your poor husband would die of the heat in the heart of the city so you could chase around to every afternoon tea within a radius of ten miles. Now I’ve just got a letter from Jim Perkins, who says he can get us a place for the summer about seven miles from Fairport. It's a furnished house and there’s a cow and lots of chickens and a big garden. The family is going away for the summer and it will be just the thing for us. I’ll write to him and tell him we will take it, before any one else gets a chance at it!” Mrs. Brown knew it was useless to do anything but agree for she saw that her husband was determined to have his own way, so about the middle of May saw Mr. and Mrs. Brown departing for the country. If Mrs. Brown didn't appear to be greatly interested in the project, her husband made up for her lack of enthusiasm. From the little town of Fairport they rode the seven miles in a high lumber wagon with their nearest new neighbor. When they clambered down from their lofty seat tired and stiff, the pretty house that was to be their home for the next three months, did look attractive. For about an hour Mr. Brown raved about the joys of simple living and getting close to nature. He pitied his less fortunate fellows who were stifling in the heart of the city or suffering untold agony at a fashionable summer resort. For the first few days all was what it could be expected to be. Mrs. Brown said little about it, but seemed to be enjoying it as much as her husband. They had the luxury of fresh eggs three times a day, while milk, cream, and early fruits and vegetables were in abundance. The mail man and their neighbors were kind enough to bring their groceries from town and altogether the remainder of May passed very pleasantly. One pleasant morning in June, Mr. Brown decided that the grass needed cutting and he set about to accomplish the task. At dinner time he didn’t look quite so jubilant, for the result of his morning’s work was about a third of the lawn cut and a tired and anything but agreeable man. He decided to finish it the next morning but upon rising he found a heavy rain drenching everything out of doors. Inwardly pleased at the prospect, he started for the barn to do his morning’s chores. Imagine his consternation on beholding the cow peacefully reclining under a tree at the farther side of the pasture, and the bam door wide open. Then he remembered (hat he had forgotten to lock the door on the previous evening. Xo amount of calling would bring Bossy back and so Mr. Brown was compelled to trudge across the pasture which seemed miles in length. When the weather became fair the grass in the front had grown to such a height that it was almost impossible to cut it. To add to their trouble the cow became sick and Brown was compelled to walk about a mile twice a day for milk which cost almost as much as it did in the city. A long dry spell dried up the grass so Mr. Brown was spared the trouble of cutting it, but it also dried up the vegetables in the garden and they were obliged to resort to canned goods of a much inferior quality than those obtained in the city. Eggs were no longer a luxury and grew extremely distasteful to both. The dust and dirt of the city that Mrs. Brown was to be spared, in the ideal country home was discounted many times by the dust which stood inches deep on the road, lawn and trees. They were unable to get sleep at night on account of the crickets and other insects that seemed to buzz louder than anything else they had ever heard unless it was the chickens that awakened them about four o’clock in the morning. When they returned to the city early in September, tired after their long and strenuous vacation, Mr. Brown turned to his wife and said in a voice that expressed finality— Don’t ever let me hear you talk about going to the country again, if you can’t lx? contented to go where other civilized people go you’ll have to go alone! I’m through chasing about, living like Indians! If it hadn’t been for you, I might have had a pleasant vacation!” But Mrs. Brown only smiled. E. O. ’12. a SENIOR-JUNIOR DEBATE HELD IN SANDWICH OPERA HOUSE. FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 10. 1912 Question—Resolved: That the Initiative and Referendum should be adopted in the United States. Affirmed by Juniors: Stella Dennis, Mae Peterson, Hazel Soever. Denied by Seniors: Mildred Anderson. Grace Ogilvie, Iayard Thorp. Decision for the affirmative. Judges: Mr. Julian Steward, Plano; Locke. Plano; Atchison. Sandwich. The debate showed careful preparation and coaching. The speakers gave their points in a clear, forceful style, which reflected credit not only upon themselves, but also upon the school. Public Speaking is gaining a prominent and well-deserved place in the work of our High School. In this respect we are following the advice of educational leaders, who are placing the work in debate and oratory upon the same basis of importance, as that of formal Rhetoric and the study of the classics. Here’s to our debate teams! We're proud of them! v. QUARTET 1 Benjamin Kietzman Rockwell Clamcy Ca?T :r Moody Lloyd Faxo MUSIC % Music in the High School comprises Chorus, Girls’ Glee Club, Orchestra and Boys’ Quartette. The chorus includes the entire school and practices even' Tuesday. The hour is given to the study of the theorv of singing, and practical work in glees, choruses and part-songs. The work of the chorus is of benentto the individual student ana adds zest to the school life. The Girls’ Glee Club practices every Friday and has shown marked progress. On the evening of May 21st, the Club gave the Cantata. “The legend of Bregenz,” in a pleasing manner. The work of Miss Lucille Hummel, voice, and Miss Irene Hummel, piano, added to the enjoyment of the audience. The Orchestra of nine pieces, during the winter months met for practice weekly. They played acceptably for the Carnival, also for one of the school programs. The members of the orchestra are as follows: Eva Ogilvie, 1st Violin; Miles Castle. 2nd Violin; Daniel Dickinson. Jr., Flute; Loyd Faxon, Mandolin;Gretchen Sibley, Violin-cello; Layard Thorpe, 1st Cornet; Carter Moodie, 2nd Comet; Karl Kaiser, Baritone; Grace Ogilvie, Piano. The Boys’ Quartette, has the following members: Loyd Faxon, 1st Tenor; Carter Moodie, 2nd Tenor; Rockwell Clancy, 1st Bass; Benj. Kietzman 2nd Bass. The Quartette has sung several times in public with success. It is to be regretted that two of the members leave school this year. Music in the High School is under one great disadvantage; there Is so little time available for its study. How the director has been able to accomplish so much in the limited time is a subject of remark. Could we have one period each day, instead of two a week, and could we separate those who have had previous musical instruction from those who have only a limited conception of music or who care nothing for the study, music might be placed on a par with our other departments of school work. JS SENIOR CLASS PLAY 4 SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior Play At the End of the Rainbow wan given at the Opera House, Friday evening. May 22. The play was well chosen, affording each member of the class an acceptable part. The story was a pleasing little sketch of college life, in which loyalty for their school mingled with the complications of a clever plot. The end of the play finds the mysteries clear, the love-affairs satisfactorily settled, and the desires of all attained “At the End of the Rainbow.

All were sitting, expectantly l(K king with big round eyes at the ( hristmas tree, trimmed with strings of pop corn and hugh orange and blue bails. As Rev. Rastus Brown said, “We all will now listen to a bass solo by Mistah Jackson,” Brother Johnson’s face wore a scowl and he muttered: “An to think he shud be up thar in my place.” Then his face brightened a bit. as he thot of his revenge. “i i e. .� ‘J1 P a n view of all was a huge watermelon, many mouths watered and every one thot 1 wonders who 11 get it. I reckons it musta come from some rich pusson cause they do have to git it from Cuby.” i . , u ncd look at Brother Jackson, as the luscious melon was carried to him. While they were looking at it longingly, hoping to have a share in it. Brother Jackson jumped up, a look of unutterable wrath on his face, and pomtmg an accusing finger at Brother Johnson, whose face was wreathed in smiles, cried “You oP fake!” The congregation started up and crowded around Brother Jackson. The watermelon was papier-mache. I he two men backed by their friends stood facing each other, each bubbling over with wrath—Brother Jackson shaking his fist at his rival cried ha d’ you mean b’ sendin me a fake watermelon?” .u u Br9th r Johnson equally enraged shouted back “An’ wha d’ you mean rakin’ my place in the choir?” And so they had it back and forth until Rev. Brown parted them and the congretagion dispersed. , This warfare had been going on for about a year, when one Sunday morning the minister announced, “Bredern thei l like bag0. ”a ° UP m'n a nt K° n' to preac no congregation what fights and quarrels with Therefore the quarrels must stop, for who could get along without Rev. Brown’s sermons, but each side thot that the other should make up” first. Finally things came to a climax one evening as Brother Johnson sat bv the fire in his little cabin, Mandy, his wife, placing her ponderous figure before him said, “Now you jus’ listen he’ar to me. you ol’ good for nothin’ if you don t go an poligize to Brother Jackson, I’ll jus’ stop takin’ in washin’s an’ make you earn the libin’. u a j e 0 good for nothin sat dum-founded for a moment -“he have to work, well I jus’ guess not, but Mandy had said so, an she looked as if she meant it” so after a few minutes struggle with pride and laziness he got his hat and started for Brother Jackson s. In the meantime a similar occurence had happened at Brother Jackson’s house, for the two women who were mends, in spite of their husband s enmity had planned it all out. As Brother Johnson was hurrying down the street toward his rival’s, he saw the figure he wanted, yet dreaded to see, approaching at a rapid rate. When the two men met, they stood silent for a moment, then their tongues were loosened, and each began to see which could apologize first. The next week the two sang a duett at the (’hristmas exercises and so ended the most noted quarrel in Slatersburo. M r: t CHAPTER XIIXVLCVM OF RAMESES FARWELL EDITION Yea verily and 1 say unto you there was a great feast in the vicinity of the high school. And this feast was called a Carnival. And when the remnants of this feast were cleared away the fair Juniorites beheld no longer their beautiful banner on the walls of the temple of learning, then they wept and loudly lamented and one who shall be called Webster jeered and saith “Thou art slow. And this maketh them very hot and behold and a mighty king was raised up among them who shall be called President Fields and he saith “Thus must not go farther.” So he and two of his followers searched long, yea verily they turned the temple inside out and lo and behold they set their banner. And when on the next morning the clan of the Seniorites beheld the beautiful banner of the Juniorites on the temple. They wept and loudly lamented, yea verily they gnashed their teeth and beat upon the rock with their fists and yet to no avail. 0 WANT ADS WANTED A trolley line up North Main Street. H. Byers.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE KAISER S COUNTRY LIFE Thru the Fields, the old Kaiser journeyed Woodward many Miles to his summer ('astle, in his sixty-horse Coy Otto. His arrival was announced by the Bark of the many dogs. As he alighted from the car, his pet Loch-ran to the Rock-wells, to which his master followed to partake of his favorite Bereridge. At the Wells, stood an old beggar lady And-er-son looking MoodieAy at the tame Kukuk in the Hazel brush. He did not stop to Converse with the woman but passed on to look at the abundance of Freeland about him. He went to his stables and peered into the Stahls. Meeting one of the stablemen, he asked about an old horse which had fallen and broken her leg. A young lad, Jacobson, said, “0, Nets all Wright.” Strolling down to the little Lake, he jumped onto the Kehl of a small boat, however better than Xoa-kould make, and was rowed away: nearing the opposite shore of the Laken time to hear a Russel in the tree tops. Ix oking up. he espied a young Coon, which on seeing the Kaiser, scampered away. He picked a Lilli-an stuck it in the lapel of his coat and then started home again. On remembering that the Carpenter had arrived a few days ago to rebuild that “Darn-ell” as he expressed it, he resolved to go see the Wright wing of the Castle. On passing the cellar door, he heard an old negro servant calling the dogs who evidently had failed to appear. The old man was saying, “Ah. Kent hab dis. Dese yere Ras-niussen get away from me.” Feeling slightly tired, the Kaiser went indoors. He thot to himself, “My Derm is the best place to read.” Ixx)king over his books by Webster, Cooper. Emerson, Lincoln and those of many Moore noted writers. He could not decide what he wished to read, so glanced at the pictures of Elizabeth-an writers about him. As he did not feel as Graces usual, the old man whose Beards-ley on their bosoms made him laugh. He thot of what enormous prices the Byers paid for these pictures and decided the dealer’s Hart-er liver must have been out of place. The Big Ben on the mantel ticked so loudly, he couldn’t read, so got up and went out of doors to pick a few Woodburys and so happily ended the afternoon alone. Ben Keitzmen has lost his liking for Berries. James Wallace is preparing for College in the S. M. Co. Does Elizabeth Beveridge ever get excited when she sees the Junior flag floating in the breezes over the school house, never, she just volplanes gently down the stairs. Last winter Miss Webster formed a boys English III class. She said that they were too bright for the girls. Donald McKinley is one of the brightest boys in the Freshmen Class, not in his marks but in his cute sayings. Miss Webster “Why did Pope write his 'Essays on Criticism?’ ” Smart Pupil “Don’t know, never had a chance to ask him.” Carter Moodie is said to possess a compass that always points east. We all wonder what attracts it. It is said that Lxn'd Faxon knows the exact numbers Tv ers between Sandwich and Aurora. Ed Kukuk is a fine pitcher not of base balls but of erasers. Howard Byers is going to organize a class on bob-steering. The class will open July 4th. Cecil Kellem has moved his hat rack to East Church Street. Ed Fields and Rex Millinger have opened an agency for escorting ladies home. Prompt attention to all. Ernst Miller is their chief catolict agent.
