It is within the memory of many that our school was a small, struggling institution. Now we have so outgrown our building and equipment that further extension will soon be necessary. I he physical growth of the school is meager, however, when compared with the progress in standards of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Development is the law of life, though, and a school must go forward to better things or go backward. We are proud that our school is endeavoring always to provide just such training as will equip us for genuine success in life. May our dear alma mater continue to grow in its worthy purposes and untiring endeavors to serve the community. Such is our desire and prayer. 10 “Outvying in your beauty The pearly tints of ocean shells,— Ye teach me faith and duty!” 11 “And one by one their tender leaves unfold, As if they knew that warmer sans were near I9 KNTRANCK HALL LIBRARY 14 CAFETERIA DOMESTIC SCIENCE 15 AUTO MECHANICS PRINTING 16 ADMINISTRATION FACULTY I') MR.

President Student Council Organization. 43 HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS NT September, 1921, a large assortment of “Freshies” assembled fearfully in these famous halls of learning. But they were soon initiated into the mysteries of beginning a high school career. For the first year the following officers were elected: George Henry DeLo .ier, president; Frances De-Lozier, vice-president; Stanley Brake, secretary-treasurer; Miss Schultze, sponsor. The main event of the year was a Christmas party, held in the gymnasium. As sophomores their number was a little diminished, hut this failed to discourage them. They continued on their way with Stuart Boyd, president; Frances Black, vice-president; Ketha Nourse, secretary-treasurer, and M iss Everett, sponsor. Finally they ascended to the coveted rank of juniors and chose the following officers: (den Cannon, president; Caroline Thrift, vice-president; Frances Black, secretary; Izora Saunders, treasurer; and Miss Everett and Mr. Witty, sponsors. They rejoiced greatly in being “upper-classmen,” but their enthusiasm was somewhat dampened when they found that putting on the Junior Carnival was no easy task. However, that it was highly successful was proved by the junior-senior banquet at the end of the year. This fall they at last took their places as seniors, greatly envied anti respected by the other classes. They organized immediately and elected Lucy Higginbotham, president; Fred Manning, vice-president and treasurer: Caroline Thrift, secretary; and Miss Lucille Moore and “Pop” Read, sponsors. Work on the Annual was started early in the year, with Lucy Higginbotham as editor-in-chief. Senior “kid day” was voted a great success, and the senior play added another honor to their already lengthy list. 1 he senior class of 1925 has formed an important part of the activities of the school for the past four years. It has won honors for Sapulpa high school in public speaking, dramatics, athletics, and many other phases of school life. The members will indeed he greatly missed from the roster of S. H. S. when at last they leave the potrals of their Alma Mater. 44 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY jOGWOSs -«•••■ NE Tuesday morning in chapel, I settled down for mv weekly nap. I had hardly fallen asleep, when 1 had a wonderful dream. I had permanently left this earthly abode on account of a disastrous mixing of certain chemicals in chemistry lab, and had reached the Pearly Gates, when lo! there appeared before me the great “Si Reed. 1 le was guarding the Gates while St. Peter took a vacation. Consequently the worldly tendencies of the inmates were allowed to become evident, and Heaven’s whole aspect was changed as I soon found out. He permitted me to enter, and on stepping inside I nearly stumbled over Blanche Meyer, who was trying to pick the pearls out of the Pearly Gates; and near by stood her helper, Louise Holman. I strolled down a golden street and strange sights appeared, pointed out to me by my guide, who was none other than Doris Smith. A short distance away I observed a strangely intense and excited group, composed of Floyd Chase, Earl Warren, and Andrew Clark, heatedly arguing as to who would pay for the drinks at a near-by nectar and ambrosia fountain. Moving closer, I spied a familiar face wearing the uniform of a soda-dispenser. It was Herbert Felkel, who was enjoying the i nexpected opportunity of spending a short while in Paradise! I turned a corner and beheld an agonizing scene. Rosalie Lindsey was trying to teach Latin carols to a crowd of Chinese. Gail Schmidt was acting as chief chorister and interpreter. I next came upon Howard Eden and Fred Klingensmith, who had attained their hearts' desire—joint ownership of a zoo. Motochika Maruy-ama was chief animal trainer. One of the animals had escaped, so Julius Goree, the seniors’ favorite post grad had been placed in the cage temporarily, in order that the public might get its money’s worth. “Who is giving that banouet over there?” I inquired from my guide. She informed me that it was Helen Butner and Virginia Neal giving their annual celestial dinner-party to a group of friends. Their wings were fluttering so much they could hardly keep on the ground. The meal consisted entirely of ambrosia and nectar. Glen Cannon seemed to have had a little too much of the latter. I passed Stuart Boyd with his bride, Izora Saunders. They were trying to decide on which cloud to build their air-castle. 1 was much surprised when suddenly Lucy Higginbotham rushed up and asked me to donate some money to help pay for the 1925 Sapulpan, about which her conscience was still bothering her, although this was the year 2000 A. D. 45 A glimpse was all I had of Audrey Mohnk, who was now a world-famed painter of cherubs, with Dorothy Conkwright as her assistant. A bright colored poster greeted my eyes as 1 turned into one of the main streets. It announced the performance of Waldo Depenbrink's Famous Garden-of-Eden Chorus, among whom were Violet Barnes, Martha Dillman, Lottie Thompson, Ada Maloney, and Virginia Heyburn. Farther on I saw the announcement that a famous prima-donna, Martha Crawford, accompanied by Rachel Hair at the piano, would sing that night at the Paradise Opera I louse. Wonder of wonders! Nile Mann was studying to be a lawyer! I suppose he was preparing to defend the unhappy mortals who were trying in vain to enter the Pearly Gates. I noticed a small shop on the corner which seemed to be doing a thriving business. On entering I found that there was a Holiday Harp and Halo sale going on. The proprietor was no other than Raymond Crawford! On being questioned as to the reason for the crowd of harp buyers, he replied that everybody was trying to get into Fred Manning’s I lallelujah Orchestra. I noticed several familiar faces among the customers— Mary Scales, Gertrude Snapp, and Louise Hughes. I was preparing to leave the shop, when suddenly 1 was startled by a loud crash. I rushed outside and found that a large Paradise Six Sedan had crashed into a Celestial Ford Coupe, with disastrous results to the latter. Tullie Nourse and Irene Snyder were the sole occupants of the coupe. In the Paradise Six were some well-known angelic flappers: Birdie Hughes, Geraldine Milliron, Grace Ford, Anna Mae Adams, and Mable Jones. I heir chauffeur was John Brooks. You could have knocked me over with a feather! I always knew he was fond of the girls, but I didn’t think he'd go to such an extreme. Suddenly in the middle of the street I beheld a strange sight. Several laborers were industriously repairing the golden pavement. The foreman had a familiar look, and I soon recognized him as the well known “Pete” Teel. One of Pete’s charming admirers, no other than Beatrice Tucker, was standing idly by. I was mildly amazed to observe among the workers Vernon Hopkins, Carl Blakely, Garland Harris, and Mark McMunn. Think of it! “Salty” McMunn, who used to have such high ambitions! “But whatever became of Annie Mae McCauley?” I anxiously inquired of my guide. “Oh, haven’t you heard? It’s a very sad case. She had so many suitors, it drove her insane. She’s in the asylum now.” Soon we passed a cafe, which my guide told me was run by Marie Burch, with La Verne, her husband, as head waiter. Just then I heard someone behind me giggling. I knew before turning around that it was Irene Richter. She was accompanied by Russell Dicks, who was doing his best to quiet her. “Do they have such things as movies, here in Paradise?” I asked. “Oh, yes, while St. Peter is away. Here's one owned by F reda Mose and Thelma Doty.” 46 We entered the theatre and whom should I see on the screen but the familiar face of Clarence Whiteside, now a popular matinee idol rivaling Rudolph Valentino. His leading lady was Willie Ralls, who had developed an unexpected talent for tragic scenes. Just in front of us sat two well-known couples: Howard Murrell and Helen Crowe, and Harold Brown and Katie Foster. After the moving pictures, there was a vaudeville. First came a burlesque of “Romeo and Juliet” with Ben and Callie as the world-famed couple. Next came a very entertaining chorus, in which I was surprised to see Violet Bostock, Vola Blakely, Dolores Burns, Mildred Burt, Susann Huben, and Helen Hood. Leaving the theatre, we strolled over to a hook-shop. I noticed that a new book was out, entitled “Ten Years in 1 ligh School. Its author was — whom do vou think? I larold Dodd ! Looking up I caught the clerk’s eye. It was Fdvthe Stanley! She joyfully wrung my hand, and I knew she was glad to see me. Poor girl! She hardly had a glimpse of anyone now, for people weren’t buying books as they used to. We journeyed on down ion Street, and noticed a very tall girl coming toward me. It was “Sis” Burnett, who had actually grown two feet taller. She was now a world-famous pianist. Leota Teel had become her private secretary. Just then we passed a building from which came an awful odor, reminding me of the chemistry lab in old S. 11. S. My guide told me it was the laboratory of Frederick von (ionten and Bruce Stanley, who were at present working night and day to perfect their wonderful discovery of making food out of air. 1 nerceived a large tent in the distance and desired to visit it. I found Dorotln Kinnaird, the celebrated evangelist, was holding a huge camp meeting. One unfortunate gentleman in the audience was evidently deeply moved. It was “Bus” Manering, solemnly vowing to mend his evil ways. Across the street from the tent stood an imposing edifice which my guide informed me was the “I {allowed I lomc for Stray Cats.” Leone Wallace was the directress, with Frances Brown and Mildred Shouse as her as -istants. While trying to cross the street we were nearly run down by a rickety farm wagon, in which were Amos Groff and his bride, Gertrude Michener, who were making a short tour of Paradise. However, we reached the other side of the street safely, and were passing a magnificient church, when suddenly the door opened and out stepped a dignified and stately figure in the garb of a clergyman. My guide whispered, “There is the best-known preacher in Paradise, the Reverend Ralph Burd. You ought to hear him.” The shock was so great that I awoke — only to find that it was all a dream. Chapel was over, and all the students were rushing for the door. Still somewhat dazed, I decided to follow their example. 47 48 JUNIORS 49 RAYMOND SMITH HAZEL SNYDER JUANITA SCOTT President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS HE present Junior class entered Sapulpa High as Freshmen in the fall of 1922. The following officers were elected: Elbert Wallace, president: Raymond Smith, vice-president; Louise Miller, secretary: Robert Hill, treasurer. As Sophomores they elected Charles Stroud, president; Raymond Smith, vice-president; Lucy Higginbotham, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Shelton, sponsor. In December the first annual Sophomore banquet was given, “with music ’n everything.” The principal event of the year was the highly successful class play, “Penrod,” part of the proceeds of which helped pay for the new stage curtain. T he Junior year was entered upon with a feeling akin to elation, for they could now call themselves “upper-classmen.” They chose officers as follows : Raymond Smith, president; Velma Burch, vice-president; Juanita Scott, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Herndon and Mr. Shelton, sponsors. Through the Junior play and the Junior-Senior banquet, the class has struck the keynotes of a highly successful year. Next year they will proudly take their places as Seniors, knowing that they have done their share in boosting Sapulpa High. 50 MARY EDNA PHELPS “Yea, lay her down whose pure and innocent life IVas spotless as these snous: for she was reared In love, and passed in love life’s pleasant spring.

H. S. I hey started the year with a rush, after electing Frank Denham, president; F.rma Smith, vice-president; and Bernice Booker, secretary-treasurer. The main event of the year was the freshman party, which was a big success. I his tall they attained the rank of sophomores, feeling much elated. I hey elected Mildred Nicholas to lead them, with Bernice Booker, vice-president; Louise Miller, secretary; Vernon Strickel, treasurer, and Miss Miller and Mr. Holland, sponsors. ith this corps of officers and advisors, the sophomores have made a name for themselves in Sapulpa High. In all departments and activities of the school, they have been ably represented. No class has a greater desire to contribute to the growth of S. 11. S. than the sophomore class. 58 59 61 FLORENCE SAUNDERS RALPH STOVER KERMIT CARTER President Vice-President Secretary FRESHMAN CLASS ORGANIZATION ■ £S3 K3 1 IIS year’s freshman class began its high school career with a great deal of pep, resolving to occupy a prominent position in Sapulpa High in spite of the fact that the upper-classmen thought it beneath their notice. The following officers were chosen: Florence Saunders, president; Ralph Stover, vice-president; Kermit Carter, secretary; Cloyd Collins, treasurer; Mrs. Peterson, and Mr. Chard, sponsors. While the freshmen have performed no unusual feats this year, they have contributed their part toward school spirit. Watch them during the next three years! They’re loyal in every way to Sapulpa High School and intend to make her proud of them. 62 FRESHMEN V e are a class of “freshies” As bright as bright can be. The seniors do not think so; Just why I can not see. For every time we match them They come out second best. Then they rise and yell aloud, “We’re leaders of the rest.” They try to follow us about 'Most everywhere we go; But they can not keep up with us For they are much too slow. And when the year is over The “freshies” you will see; But the seniors; oh, poor things! Who knows where they will be? 64 —Gladys Angel, ’28. JUNIOR HIGH ■ JUNIOR HIGH ■•£©11(34- RLVIOUS to last year Sapulpa had the six-two-four plan of organization, the seventh and eighth grades being referred to as Junior 1 ligh. Last year they were moved into the high school building after an addition had been completed. Though we still have trouble changing the terminology with which we have been familiar, the six upper grades are under the same administration, thus making our plan or organization conform more nearly to the six-six scheme than to any other. Gradually the barrier between the eighth and ninth grades is disappearing. The enrollment of the seventh and eighth grades for the present year is six hundred and sixteen, seventeen more than in the upper four grades. 66 67 89 Lanfe Cities formed in t he Oil Carders ORGANIZATIONS ORGANIZATIONS COUNCIL OK REPRESENTATIVES STUDEN T BODY ORGANIZATION RUSSELL DICKS President Student Body 72 Stivers, Rule, Richey, Gormley, Warren, Finch, Robinson, McClain Castanien, Dishon, Lehnhard, Smith.

Sophomore, junior and senior boys who are willing to aid in creating, maintaining, anil extending high standards of Christian living are eligible for membership. One of the chief motives of the club s activities is to teach young men their duties and responsibilities as Christian citizens, and to stimulate within each individual a desire to seek after the higher and nobler things of life. The club has met regularly throughout the past year on alternate Tuesdays for supper and program meetings. At different times a number ol local business men have made interesting and helptul talks to the boys. The local organization leels very proud that it was able to sponsor the Older Boys’ state conference, and to know that one of its members, Kenneth Manering, is president for the ensuing year. 73 MARGIE HANCOCK President MILDRED NICHOLAS Treasurer LORRAINE DkLOZIER Secretary FLOR IN CE CARDVVI .LL Vice- President GIRL RESERVES 74 LATINA SO Cl ETAS -4G 0$ ( TINA Societas, the first honorary Latin club to be organized in Sapulpa I ligh School, was created for the purpose of distinguishing those students who have attained a high standing of scholarship in the study of Latin classics. The club was organized November 3, 1924, with Rosalie Lindsey, president; Grace Ford, vice-president; and Elbert Wallace, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Jones was chosen sponsor. Latin carols were sung during the Christmas season; a “Brother and Sister” plan was adopted to help to encourage the first year Latin students; and a Latin play, “Ex Mari,” was worked up and given for the benefit of the Latin department. The semi-monthly meetings have formed an important part in the instruction and entertainment of the members.

TINNEN Glee Clubs S. R. LAMB Band and Orchestra EAR by year the music department is steadily growing anti making its influence felt throughout all the school. This year has seen the organization of a Junior Band which will furnish material for the older boys' organization, as seniors leave its ranks. The orchestra and glee clubs have given concerts to help purchase uniforms for the band boys and send them to Port Smith to the district Rotary conference. An instrumental trio and small groups from the glee clubs have furnished music for meetings of various civic organizations, church programs, and club meetings, thereby filling a real community need. Representative groups from the music department gave two programs which were broadcasted from Bristow station KFRU. The number of telegrams and other messages received indicated the pleasure that was given to the listening public. The high school glee clubs and eighth grade chorus won three first places in the county meet and three loving cups to add to the school collection. In March the glee clubs gave ‘'Bulbul,” an operetta, the proceeds from which will be used to pay the expenses of the glee clubs in entering one or more of the state music contests. 80 HIGH SCHOOL BAND JUNIOR BOYS’ BAND ORCHESTRA CART.

The team was extremely weak on veteran material. The only letter men returning were Captain Charlie Stroud, backfield, and “ I iny” McClain, in the line, which combined with the fact that the new coaching mentor arrived late, made the prospects look unfavorable. The first game of the season was with the Tulsa University freshmen. Although this team appeared to be larger than our boys, they were outplayed, and the home squad took the larger end of a 24-7 score. Stroud’s offensive work and Smith’s ami McClain’s defensive work featured the game. The second game was with the St. Joe Academy of Muskogee. In this game the Sapulpa offensive was again the feature. The deadly tackling by the local secondary defense and the work of the wing men kept the Mus-kogeans from scratching in a 14-0 victory. Our next game with the Bacone Indians of Muskogee proved that the redskins were too fast for our boys. Forward passes gained the Indians their 14-0 victory. The fourth game with the fast traveling outfit from the Oklahoma 96 Military Academy at Claremore marked the second defeat of the season. The score was 26-0. The Cushing game, played on Armistice day, showed the true ability of outlaw against outlaw, since Cushing had been placed under conference ban for various misdemeanors. The game was replete with thrilling plays, the score see-sawing back and forth until the final stage of the game when the Sapulpans emerged victorious 20-12. The forward passing from Cannon to King, and the brilliant running of the Sapulpa backfield were again noticeable. The A. and M. freshmen brought over a team of giants and steamrollered the Sapulpa boys to the tune of 30-0. The only item of interest from the local standpoint was the completion of several long passes by Cannon to King and Lyon. The turkey day game which finished the season for Sapulpa was another glorious victory for the locals, who won from Cushing High by the score 18-6. The game was featured by long runs and many completed passes. The season which at the beginning was not very promising was on the whole very successful and afforded bountiful experience to a large number of men, many of whom will be veterans on next year’s team. Stroud in the backfield, and Klingensmith, Brooks, and Kiergan in the line will not be back next season. 97 86 .Smtaa ml V A ? Si 3WW10.

He connected with the basket consistently. He will not be back next year. COLTON (Center and Forward) “Lengthy” was able to play either as center or forward. His height made him hard to guard. He will be back KIERGAN (Captain—Center) Bed was a fast man and seldom failed to get the tip-off. He was a fine floor worker, and his absence will be felt next year. 101 SMITH (Guard) “Smithy” was an excellent guard and could always be depended upon to hold up his end of the defense. He will be back. DEPENBRINK (Guard) “Waldo” was a consistent player always holding down his position faithfully. He graduates this year. LYON (Guard) “Red Hot” was indeed an asset to the team. He always held down his man. He will be back next year. CANNON (Forward) “Roscoe” was an excellent dribbler and hard to stop. He was one of the high point men this year. Like McMunn he will not be back. SECOND TEAM Klingensmith Read, Coach Langston Blakely Fears Cornwell Bacon Eden Groff Whiteside Burd I )ndd Wallis (Capt.)

Dwelt she there among her people; Worked on mats of Hags and rushes. Beaded moccasins and blankets, Worked and sang the Indian folk songs, Played and danced the Indian dances. Now from out a distant country After many moons of travel Came Wetumka, brave young warrior, Came he seeking for the maiden Who was famed in all the nations For her gentleness and beauty, hound her at the yearly corn dance, Corn dance of the old Creek Nation. On her slim dark ankles quivered Turtle shells all filled with pebbles; Turtle shells that shook and rattled As she danced the ancient corn dance Round and round with steady measure, Making music wierd, uncanny. Fastened to her raven tresses Ribbons, many hued and varied, Streamed and shimmered in the moonlight Covering now her graceful figure; Lifted now by light winds playing Danced they with her in the corn dance. Spoke Wetumka to the maiden: “I have come for love, Weleeka. Wilt thou share my lonely wigwam, Wigwam of the brave Wetumka?” Then Weleeka raised her dark eyes, Thus she spoke unto Wetumka: '‘Ask me not to leave my country, Let my people be my only. Come now to our Sofka banquet Honored long among our people.” Thus Wetumka won Weleeka. From this tie came Kalla Inla As does come the morning sunshine; Sweet her breath as was the fragrance Of the flowers upon the hillside. Handsomest of all the women 121 In the land of this Creek Nation. Friends she made of birds and Howers Loved was she by every creature, While the pine trees whispered to her And the murm'ring waters called her. Thus all nature paid her homage Blessed was she of all the maidens. If these nature loving people By the white man unmolested Had been left to live their own lives 1'his sad tale had not been written. Pushing forward, ever forward, Close upon the Indian footsteps, Came they to the old Creek country, Peaceful country of the Red Man. Led by tales of deer and bison Donald Ray came with his father; Camped they near Wetumka’s wigwam Near the home of Kalla Inla. Oft this handsome paleface wandered Through the haunts she held most dearly Met and loved this child of nature, Loved this dark eyed Indian maiden, And her heart turned to the stranger As a How’r turns to the sunshine. One rash act of Donald’s father Lighted fires of hate and anger F ires that long had slowly smoldered In the breast of old Wetumka. hilled with rage was Kalla’s father; Thus he spoke unto his daughter: “Meet no more this treach’rous white man Who would woo and win and leave you; Rather let some Indian lover Lead you from my forest wigwam.” Thus the storm cloud cast asunder Donald Ray and Kalla Inla. Burned there in the heart of Donald Longings to behold his loved one. Message by the small Vinita Sent he then to Kalla’s wigwam: “Wilt thou meet me, oh. my loved one, Meet me on the ledge of Sandstone?” Through the forest dark and lonely Kalla Inla and her sister Fled like frightened deer at sunset. Fled they to the ledge of Sandstone; There upon the high cliff waiting Clad in moccasins and blanket Donald Ray with hopes and longings Stood to greet this Indian maiden. Then the small Vinita tarried, Tarried near to warn the lovers Warn them of approaching danger While they walked there on the Hat-rocks, Me with long and earnest pleadings She with weeping sad refusals. As she turned and left her lover Sudden darkness tilled the twilight I liding his heart with deepest shadows. Long with folded arms he stood there Thinking of those fond caresses Thinking of those lost caresses Of the loved, lost Kalla Inla. Faster beat the heart within him Spurred by love that burned his bosom, Burning was the blood that coursed him Till it warmed the air around him; Till it warmed the stone beneath him Melting on its face so hardened Footprints of a saddened lover. Kindly now the moon shone o'er him. Seemed to warn him of the forest And the yawning gulf below him Gaping in the inky darkness. Filled the night air was with voices Of the Indians long departed To the ground of happy hunting Where no lovers ever parted; There thev beckoned, ever beckoned Drawing him ever nearer. On the fatal brink he wavered Raised once more his arms to heaven Vielded to the v oices calling Plunged him downward into darkness. There he lay upon the bottom Lifeless as the ledge above him. Fate had gathered to his garner Fragments of a love forbidden Leaving only of this romance Footprints in the ledge of Sandstone. Worked out by Mrs. IV. C. Reed from the old legend as told by an early resident of Sapulpa. Moccasin Tracks are located about a quarter mile northeast of the city. 123 THE MESSAGE OE THE DAWN By Carl Schultz Streaks of gold in trembling beauty Rise above the mountain height, And the tints of all the roses Mingle in the mellow light. Hushed the air in solemn stillness, Save the notes of mating birds, And the perfume of the springtime Carries Nature’s mystic words: “1 lope I bring to thee each morning, New-born from the fields of light: Gone may be thy vexing failures With the passing of the night. “Parched and dry on yester-evening Was my bosom in the sun, And my verdure was all withered, And its freshness spent and gone. ‘But behold me now, made over By the magic of the dark— Shining in my every dew-drop Is a star’s caressing spark. “Take a lesson from the dawning, When the shadows darkest are, And you’ll find that somewhere shining Is a lustre of a star. “In the darkened night of failure, There is wisdom for the dawn; Fraught with strength is every sorrow. For the soul to lean upon.” On the silver wing of morning Came this message of the spheres; And it soothed my spirit's yearning Through the passing of the years. 124 INTERPRETATION The dawn of day, one of God’s many miracles, teaches a lesson that no man should ignore. The simple beauty, awe-inspiring and yet joyous, can hardly be expressed in words. One must see it to experience its thrill. The streaks of gold in the east, slowly mingling with the blue of the heavens; the ecstatic chirping of the birds; the sparkle of the dew-drops; all these combine to make the dawn. With the dawning of a new day, when all its possibilities and opportunities are before us, hope returns to our hearts. We forget our sorrows for a time in the joy of being alive. Just as the world has withered in the heat of yesterday, we have wearied of life’s journey; but as the world revives again the next morning, we should thus regain courage to go on. By means of the failures in the dark hours, we are made stronger and more experienced for overcoming future trials. This is the more true, in that we have learned our mistakes and can avoid them in the new day. This message which God sends us satisfies the longing of a troubled heart, and enables us to see life more clearly through the passing years. —Rosalie Lindsey, ’25. This interpretation of the preceding poem U’on the five dollar gold piece offered by S. R. Lamb for the interpretation which most nearly approached the author’s ideas. Mr. Lamb knew the author and had his interpretation as a guide. 125 MIN TOY •£E� k3 I MM IE gazed anxiously around him: a little worried pucker ruined his otherwise handsome, though somewhat irregular, nose, and a tentative hand slowly scratched the hack of his neck. The big ocean-liner. Nightingale, was moving from the dock. The sea of faces on shore became a blur, while those around him hurrying to and fro changed constantly. Jimmie’s brown eyes sought a familiar looking porter. “My baggage?” he articulated hoarsely. “Jimmie McGuire’s?” “Naw suh, you ain't gimme no baggage by name of McGuire, naw suh!” And the porter was washed away in the crowd. Jimmie sought a deck-chair and sank into it, exhausted. For the love o’ Sam Pete!” he whispered. “No baggage, no passport! Wait!” he cried as he searched diligently through every pocket he possessed. “Oh, Aunt Maria !” he moaned, and his bewildered expression changed to one of actual pain. “Just my luck; it's that awful hoodoo, Min Toy! I knew if he packed my things something would happen! And Jimmie gazed forlornly at the dimming outline of the only city in the world and mentally broke the nose of Min Toy. Jimmie occupied the deck almost to himself now and gradually it dawned upon him that he should be in his cabin. Anyway the chair was not his, so, with despairing eyes he staggered around to the other side only to face a dour-looking officer eyeing him suspiciously. With a quizical expression Jimmie turned and fled, his mind informing him that this was not the end. Dashing around the corner, he turned into a passageway and immediately collided with a girl, just emerging from her cabin. With hurried apologies he turned to go when she detained him with, “Would you mind finding something to eat for poor Fifi? He hasn’t a thing in the world to eat, and he’s starvingV' All this with pretty, appealing grey eyes uplifted to his. 1 lis answer was a long time coming for he was dazzled by those eyes and her red hair, curling charmingly about her face. “Surely — er — certainly — most — uh — most — with pleasure!” he stuttered, hastening down the hall with his eyes back of him. Thinking frantically how to best find the kitchen, he saw an officer’s blue coat-tail flapping: he made a route of it and Hew down the opposite side. At last, after much embarrassment he secured some food and picking his way carefully he dropped it at her door. He spent the rest of the day behind posts, diligently watching for brass-buttons and wishing in vain for the food he had given Fifi. As night drew on he racked his brain for a place to sleep and finally, as a case of necessity, slept in a life-boat with a coil of rope for a blanket. He slept by no means peacefully, being disturbed by visions of marvelous dinners and a gorgeous girl. He awoke early the next morning for his bed seemed a little rough. 126 The sky was a dismal gray ami the white-caps were more playful than they had been on the preceding day and the resultant tossing caused Jimmie not a little difficulty in descending from his precarious perch. Removing his shoes which were oozing water he walked softly around to the companion-way. Descending, he spied a door to a closet partially open and, trying his best to conceal himself, he peeped in. Much to his delight he found some black powder, which he hastily brushed through his hair, turning it a queer, grayish color. Next he rubbed some of the powder around his eyes to make them black, and assuming a rather springless step walked out. By this time his hunger was unbearable, so, summoning all his nerve and assurance, he entered the dining room. The room was not crowded, although he could hear the chatter of groups promenading the deck. In a far corner, manifestly waiting for companions, sat the (iirl of his Dreams. Her hair was as beautiful, or more beautiful, than ever he thought, and her eyes (he could only see her eye-lashes) were heavenly! Placing himself where he could watch her every motion, he ordered a magnificent breakfast. Fortunately he had retained his wallet and could eat as long as his identity and lack of cabin were not discovered. I le had not remained there long until a short, pompous-looking man (wearing brass-buttons), with sharp blue eyes and a stiff grey mustache sat down opposite him and, much to his annoyance, carefully watched him carry each bite to his mouth, but ate nothing himself. At last Jimmie could stand it no longer, and rising on shaking knees, prepared to depart. The bull-dog man rose also, but seemed puzzled and confused when Jimmie paid for his breakfast from a roll of bills. Gazing after the rather gaspy Jimmie, he ejaculated under his breath and resuming his seat, ate his breakfast. Jimmie spent the rest of the day sitting morosely on the upper deck gnawing on some crackers he had pocketed from the breakfast table. I le sat thus till night-fall occasionally walking around, when no one was in sight, to relieve the cramps in his body. At about seven he was walking slowly around the deserted deck, meditating where to sleep when he became conscious of soft footfalls at a discreet distance behind him. His jagged nerves told him to run but his common sense told him to stop. With his eyes nearly popping out of his head he did the latter. I he soft footfalls behind him stopped also. Now assured of what he hail only guessed, he began to walk forward quickly. 1 lis pursuer did the same, gradually gaining on him. They must have made a comical picture to anyone watching them; the absurd young man going forward by leaps and bounds and the portly gentleman in brass-buttons following with as much alacrity as possible. It must be remembered that the lights were not out yet and the night was dark. Suddenly a door appeared as Jimmie rounded the corner into which he sprang immediately. The steward dashed on calling for help. Jimmie felt uncomfortable; that creepy sensation that you have when you know you are alone and yet feel someone looking at you, was playing leapfrog up and down his back. He whirled around swiftly. I he room was dark but not too dark for him to see the menacing eyes of the purser not two feet away. Jimmie’s mind was used to thinking rapidly. It did so now, something like this—“run back out the door—run in opposite direction from steward—dodge both of them at an unexpected minute,” only much faster of course. Jimmie was used to doing what his instinct told him to do. so, when he had run around the corner, he stopped. I le saw the captain coming toward him. “Now is the time,” he thought and dodged down the hallway. He could hear his two pursuers talking vehemently and the portly gentleman swore. The door by which Jimmie was standing had a familiar number and at last he placed it. It was Her number and Her cabin. His eyes assumed a dreamy look which was dispelled by approaching footsteps. Instinct spoke again and he tried the knob of the door. It turned and he slipped in quietly. “By the head of the 1 lolv Mary! I could have sworn I saw him down here,” and the purser passed by, ejaculating at every step. As soon as he had passed Jimmie jumped out and ran as fast as he could in the opposite direction. l ie sought the most sheltered and deserted deck and dropping back of a chair he went to sleep. It seemed only a few minutes, but in reality it was dawn, when he was wakened by rather rough handling. “Snap out of it!” someone said sharply and he woke. He attempted to stretch but found it awkward as his hands were firmly bound with hand-cuffs. Struggling frantically he was half-carried by two burly sailors to the captain’s office. There he was told to “sit calm and take it easy, pard, till the captain finishes his duties, and then he’ll look after you! Jimmie’s attention was attracted by the crisp voice of a steward’s “Good-mornin’ sir! All’s well except the occupant of cabin 18, sir. Can’t find hide nor hair of him, sir, and here’s his passport. None of the stewards has reported seeing him. I lave to face facts, sir; maybe he never boarded!’’ Jimmie was staring aghast at the extended passport. I le simply couldn’t be mistaken! That was his picture! “Sir,” he said, “what—what’s the missing passenger’s name?” “What’s it to you?” the captain replied, “but if it would relieve you any—it’s Jimmie McGuire.” Jimmie sat back thunderstruck. Then frantically attempting to free his hands, “Can’t you see? he yelled, “That’s me!—that’s my picture!— my passport! I’m Jimmie McGuire!” The purser and captain looked at him as if he were crazy. Then each examined the portrait more carefully, turning from it to Jimmie. “By Jove, I believe he’s right!” the captain said. “Boy, why haven’t you turned up before? We’ve been chasing you for a stowaway. Everything’s ready for you in your cabin.” And handing the passport to the steward, with orders to release the prisoner, he dismissed him wtih a cheery “Good luck! “Min Toy!” Jimmie murmured. —Eugenia Masters, '21. 128 I F If I had a laugh like Mr. Smith I’ll tell you what I’d do: I'd laugh and laugh until S. H. S. Caught the laughing habit, too. If I could lecture like Miss Collins I'll tell you what I’d do: I’d start out on a lvceum tour And travel the U. S. through. If 1 were a dean li’e Mrs. Mertsheimer Here's exactly what I’d do: I'd say, “Yes, my dear,’’ on a phonograph And play it all day for you. If I could sing like Mrs. Tinnen I’ll tell you what I’d do: I’d sing and sing till the auditorium was full Including the balcony, too. If I were as peppy as Miss Tartar I’ll tell you what I’d do: I’d bottle it ud and sell it to Miss Klein That's exactly what I’d do. If I were as tall as Mrs. Peterson is I’ll tell you what I’d do: I’d bend my legs out and have more feet. Now, wouldn’t you? If I could make cars like Mr. Halderson I’ll suggest to him what I’d do: I’d build a Ford and sail away And take Miss Curtis, too. If I could play the tambourine like Miss McKee And accompany with my nose I’d proclaim myself to all the world And perhaps join one of the freak shows. 129 —Rac hel Hair, ’25. no % PEPPER BOX 131 SCHOOL CALENDAR Sept. 8 School begins.
