Each lass and lad wore cunning caps Of lavender and gold. “Senior Day”----’twas evident--- So teachers couldn’t scola. The “Frash.” they shouted and thev laughed. The “Sophs” began to root, The Juniors giggled and they whispered. “Those kids are just too cute.” But we really must forgive them, For such a sight is rare. In the Assembly Hall of high school. Where only SENIORS dare. ■ Class History The Class of nineteen hundred and sixteen entered the Missoula County High School eighty strong. We elected as our first president, “Dutch” Lansing. This showed good judgment on our part for he has proven himself to be our greatest athlete and one of our very able students. The feature of our Freshmen initiation was a girls’ football team coached by .John McGough. In the Freshmen declamation contest of that year Margaret Wickes won first place. Although we did not win very many honors in athletics, declamation or other activities, yet some members of our class were on the football and track squads, and we weye preparing for greater deeds to come. Altogether our first year was one of peace and happiness. The following year Scott Murphy was our president. Murphy was, during his sojourn in our high school, one of our most active members. He made a place on the school debate team besides being one of our shining lights in track. The only social affair worth mentioning this year was a sleighride. Unfortunately for us the seniors also planned a sleighride for the same night. They ran away with our sleigh so we had to have a party in the gymnasium until they returned. Then our own sleighing party proceeded as we had planned. During this year we in turn helped to make life miserable for the Freshmen. When we were juniors we won much honor and glory. One member of our class. Lansing, was on the basketball team, and several on the football team, and Ralph Sticht won fourteen points last year for Missoula in the Interscholastic Track Meet. We gave two very successful dramatic productions which enabled us t give a very delightful banquet and “prom.” The banquet was served at the Palace Hotel. Only members of the Junior and Senior classes and of the Faculty were present, but to the dance after the banquet, in the Elks’ Temple the Alumni for two years back were invited. Scott Murphy was again president in our Junior year. When at last we became Seniors, we started the year right by voting to have an Annual. No Senior class since nineteen hundred and thirteen had published one. We did something else worthy of notice, by selecting Osden Drever as the class president. He is so full of “pep” and enthusiasm that he is the very best person that we could possibly have chosen to lead us through our last year of high school life. The other class officers are Florence Dixon, vice president; Tom Swearingen, treasurer; Oscar Nelson, secretary. The Senior boys have taken a very active part in athletics this year, “Dutch” Lansing being captain of both the football and basketball teams, and Ralph Sticht the track captain. Roger Trafford. Josephine Sheedy and Margaret Wickes won places in the declamation contests. The Senior play produced this year was one of the best that has ever been played in this high school. The Girls’ Literary Club, newly organized this year, has for its officers three Senior girls, and the girls of this class have taken a far more active part in it than those of any other class. The Senior girls have engineered three very successful parties so far this year; one. in honor of the Senior boys; the last, in honor of Miss Simpson, our faculty bride-to-be. The Senior boys reciprocated with a party for their feminine classmates. The presidency of the Students’ Association is held by a member of the Senior class. We have been more active all the year than any of the other classes. And now we are almost through with all of our labors, and our pleasures here, for surely our life in high school has not been composed of hardships alone. We began our career in this institution of learning with eighty members, but, although some additions have been made from other schools, we have been reduced to fifty-five. Thus we can say that the words of the Good Book are true: “Many are called, but few are chosen.” —L. M., ’16.

Old Father Time approaches His message to impart. That treasured years are ending, And cherished friends must part. With throbbing heart and aching, How wistfully we sigh. That sad, sad day is coming When we must say “Goodbye.” Dear M. H. S.—our dear friend, To thee we Seniors sing. Your glory, name and honor Our praise will ever ring. Though old we be, and distant May thoughts of thee ne’er die. One nine one six, the best class We knew at dear old High. —M. F., 1916 FRESHMEN. BEHOLD TOUR IDEAL-BARE THT IGNORANT HEAD AND PAY HOMAGE TO THY 3UPMXJOX. As if used to be Mr. Ketcham He moves among us in his quiet way With cheerful mein, and as we come and go. We hardly realize, we cannot know How much he does for us from day to day. How much we honor him we cannot sav. We rightly all our deepest feelings show. But patient and serene, he helps us grow, And all the High School doth its homage pay. A tribute now to him who is our friend, A song of love to one who fills with light The darkest shadows of the path we wend. Some day when we have gained a clearer sight. We may perhaps more justly sing his praise, But now great joy be his, and length of days. (A Sonnet.) The 1916 Track Meet (1) ’Tis a glum May day, but hopes are bright. Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! We’ve got a winning team, all right. For Missoula will fight with all her might. Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! But curse the luck, we’ve dropped a Stieht! He’s sprained his ankle, what a hitch! Why, bless you. man, we’re in the ditch! Wearily, my lads, yo ho! Wearily, my lads, yo ho! Chorus. With a long long stride, And a strong, strong pride. Gaily boys, make her go. There is Lansing, true. There is Doty, too. Singing cheerily, lads, yo ho! (4) Now “Shoeey” and “Dutch” are both set back Wearily, my lads, yo ho! They “Broke” too soon, on the cinder track And Egan’s lost his wind, alack! Wearily, my lads, yo ho! But “Husky” takes the hurdles high. While Gavin’s rooters yell and cry, “Let’s give nine Bali’s, when Jack goes by!” Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! (3) We’ve won first place in the javelin throw. Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! For Phillips’ arm is far from slow. And Gray, Smith and Barry sure can go. Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! Their aching backs, and necks, and joints The rub-down liniment soon annoints And we’ve won the Meet with forty points. Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! (2) Tis a jam what am. at Jolly-Up. Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! Missoula High has copped the Cup. And the track team deserves a banquet sup. Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! The Chancellor cracked full many a pun, About the colors of ribbons won. And “The Modest Mr. Jacobson.” Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! Cheerily, my lads, yo ho! —E. L. C. STAFF OF THE 1916 BITTER ROOT. First Row—Grace Barnett, editor-in-chief; Sinclair McClay, subscription manager; Ozete Hatcher, assistant business manager; Hazel Turtle, associate editor; Gladys Phillips, associate editor; Ralph Graves, snapshot editor; Lelia Pax son, calendar editor. Second Row—Margaret Wickes. alumni editor; Bryan Wilburn, chaff; Louis I ansing, sporting editor; Roger Trafford. assistant business manager; Hazel Egan, literary editor. Third Row—Ebba Anderson, assistant business manager; Florence Dixon, assistant editor; Osden Dreyer, business manager; Thos. Swearingen, organization editor. Editorial Gentle Reader, please handle this volume with eare. To you it may seem like a primer, but to those who have made it—well, it is as huge a work as the dictionary. We fully realize now why Noah Webster fainted at the completion of his task, and we think that our hook is even better than Noah’s because its plot is a trifle more “connected.” The editorial staff lias had its troubles. At the beginning of the year the Business Manager and his assistants determined the size, shape and price of the ads. organized forces and started work at once. As soon as the other duties had been assigned, everyone “got busy.” The snap-shot editor snapped everyone he could catch; the literary editor read stories and sonnets; the organizations were written up; data was kept for the calendar, and subscriptions were taken. The editor undoubtedly seemed mad to everyone who saw her rushing about distractedly. Certain individuals avoided her if they could but if she was lucky enough to catch one you could hear her say. “Gladys, have you finished those society notes yet? I must have them.’’ etc., etc. The victim usually squirmed and turned pale for she nearly always answered like this. “No, I haven’t had a minute’s time. I will have them in by tomorrow, anyway.” But it would be hard to find a better staff of helpers than these same people have proved to be. We have all done our best and we pray that you will notice only the good qualities of this Annual. Seniordoni Four years ago there came into this school Some simple little freshmen, chewing gum. Unmindful of life’s cares, content with fun. Not heeding frowning teachers or their rule. Down each unwilling, stubborn little mule Was crammed Math.. Latin. English and for fun A touch of Science; now the work’s most done. For we’re the pride and joy of all the school. SENIORS! The noble sound of that one word Rewards our years of toil and makes us sigh, “What a relief to be so nearly through.” But then this thought, as if a flaming sword, Rends wide our hopes and castles in the sky, “Tomorrow we’ll be freshmen in the ‘U’.” —R.. ’16. G. A. Ketcham. The Faculty Knoyving that a teacher’s influence remains throughout our lives, shaping our character, our deeds and giving direction to our future occupations, the class of 1916 cannot estimate the good you have done, nor are we able to give you the thanks due to you. At this time we cannot thank you. Nor will we try. But in years to come we will have many successes mixed with failures and we expect to come out triumphantly in the end. Looking back we will be able to see the good you have done us and .just what a prominent part you have played in our history; the making of our lives and the establishing of our well being, morally, physically and mentally. A glance over the past year will show the truth of this statement. You have •lone all a teacher should do and all that a student should expect of you. Through your guidance we have become Seniors and have graduated. We realize more and more that we have the best corps of teachers in the northwest and that nowhere in the Union is there a more conscientious, school-spirited group of persons than the twenty-two that make up our faculty. “It will go on.” We are in duty bound to follow vour teachings, realize your expectations of us and follow your ideals through our lives. These few words express our thoughts concerning the ones who have given us ideals to work for. and we cannot attempt any thanks for what good you have done us. Twenty years hence we will realize what you have accomplished in your patient workings with us and then we will silently but fervently give thanks to those who have shaped the trend of our lives.

Treasurer COLORS: Green and White Class of ’17 No past nor future .luniors can boast of a more distinguished set of officers than those who now have these seats of honor. Our president with his genial, sunny way, has led us up the steep heights of popularity and fame. In all his work he has been ably seconded by our vice president. Constant and true has been our fair secretary to all the calls of class duty. Last, but not least, comes our Will, who has so ably guarded the strong box which represents the financial achievements of the Class of ’17. After the glad rush of holidays, while the year was young and new. the long looked forward to carnival arrived with its train of stunts. The vaudeville, with its celebrated Parisian dancing dolls, was the most profitable of the evening. A visit to the chamber of horrors was so horrifying that it called for all the ladies to be escorted. The house of mysteries was a place long to be remembered. Many fair Sophomores’ dreams were disturbed by the continual reappearance of these mysteries. At the coming of the sweet spring days, along with nature’s musical, the talented Juniors held their musical with all its powers to soothe. Clever numbers were given by prominent singers of the city. Nor must we forget the brilliant Freshman who ably assisted us. The most brilliant of social functions up to this date is the Leap Year dance. Both courage and skill were exhibited by the fair sex in selecting their partners and conveying them to the dance. The young men were noted on this particular occasion for that innate modesty which is a strong characteristic of the Class of ’17, for they blushed becomingly when they shouldn’t and failed to when they should. Some demure maidens failed to render proper assistance up the long flights of stairs to the dance hall on this rare occasion, which comas but once in four years. Several of the boys constituted themselves a private detective force to locate valuable missing articles, such as powder-puffs and button-hooks. The proceeds of the Leap Year dance were increased at a later date by “sweet sales.’’ on which occasions the boys showed their appreciation of all past favors by donating the goods and generously purchasing the same. As a fitting climax to a brilliant social year will be the Junior Prom, at which time the departing Seniors will receive the hard-earned benefits of the year gone by. —R- C., 17. optjomorc£i OFFICERS.

Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Sergeant-at-Arms COLORS: Scarlet and White The Antecedents of The Class of 10 and 8 In the year 1914 A. D., there entered a class that was generally thought to he insignificant. That class has gradually risen to the venerable position it now possesses. As all real great men and organizations have passed through a period of months or years in which they were being developed, so this class passed through its first year without setting the school afire with its wonderful deeds. Connie Mack said that it would take about two years to turn out another pennantwinning team, because it would take that long to make a solid foundation and to build a team thereon. So the first year of the class of 10 and 8 was spent in its formation. In the late fall of 1915, the Sophomores won in basketball, and. as aforesaid, the Seniors (peace be to their dust), the Juniors and the Freshmen fell. Hut this class, out of its regard for the feeling of the Seniors (the class of 10 and 8 did not want the Seniors to leave their Alma Mater with a defeat to their credit), let them have the honor of winning the interelass track meet. For the good of the school the class let the Frosh win the Soph and Frosh debate series. If the class had been selfish in the matter and had romped off with the honors, it would probably have discouraged the Frosh. and they would not have tried out for debate any more. If this bad been the ease, it would have l een bad for the school, because, when the venerable Soplis and blithesome Juniors had taken their departure, the Frosh would not be able to carry forward the work that would be left to them. Lest some should think the class of “18” egotistic, it must be remembered that merely the circumstances of the case are being related. The class believes that it has done a good turn to the institution it represents, in surrendering its own glory for the good of the M. 11. S. It believes that by mentioning these things, it may be doing the students, who will come to this school after this class has lgft for higher institutions of research, a service which they will not fail to appreciate. Perhaps, hearing of the unselfish service this class rendered to the home of the purple and gold, they will be prompted to j erform similar deeds. If this class shall have been the means of causing some one to contribute a great service to the school, it will feel that it has not labored in vain. —S., ’18. Jfresljtuen OFFICERS. Jack Stone .

Vice-President Secretary - Treasurer Sergeant-at-Arms COLORS: Green and Gold fhe (Glories of 19 The class of ’19, has nearly finished its brilliant career as Freshmen with a membership of 225. Much class spirit has been exhibited and many have been the activities. The earnest members gathered eagerly in the assembly room to select officers for the school year. After several stirring moments, those elected were Jack Stone, president; Lois .Jones, vice president, and Dorothy Dixon, secretary-treasurer. Soon plans for a party were formed, and days filled with enthusiasm followed. The gymnasium, for that was the place of our merriment, was decorated in the class colors, of green and gold. The room was packed to its utmost capacity. A sleighride proved to be extremely exciting. This eventful party took place on an icy night when the wind blew frantically. The heavily laden bob. which heretofore had glided over the white surface of the earth, plunged into a huge drift and required the efforts of many to pull it from the snowy depths. In the meantime, interest in the meetings grew and the recitation rooms failed to hold those who took part in the heated discussions. Humors of another (rood time spread quickly. In fact, there was to be a masquerade. Costumes queer, and costumes dainty, were that night taken from dark recesses. The cup of joy was bubbling over and the merry-makers were dancing into the night But lo! a crash like thunder sounded upon the peaceful atmosphere. What uooer classman had dared to break the plate-glass window in the door of the gvm 1 This episode shall ne’er be forgiven; it cost many weary hours of toil to bring us ba°k from the jaws of debt. Track meet drew near and the Sophomore trembled with terror as he gazed upon the mighty and swift-footed Freshman. Our opponents put forth every effort but in vain; the score would rise to 108i while theirs would go no farther than 86L The Freshman victory was shouted from the housetops. Still another laurel taken, we were defeated by the Seniors only in the interclass meet. Again, the first year stars. Earl Barry and Rolx rt Egan, did exceedingly well to win points for old Missoula high in the interscholastic meet. The Sophomores, however, not discouraged at former defeats, eagerly sallied forth to win the debate. To have the numerals of '19 engraved upon the Konah shield, because that was the reward, was the goal of our debaters. Breathless the audience awaited the outcome. We were again the victors, and the first Freshman class to hold this honor. Another star had been added to our alreadv well-filled crown. At different times other honors had been conferred: Anne Hall placed second in the Dixon declamation contest: Matt Pearce made the debate team of M. II. S.; again the only first-year student who had been successful. The Freshman history of '19 has been illumined with honor and distinction, and it has lived up to its motto. “Excelsior. —E. J., 19.

Come on, let’s have our fortunes told. This Ls the place right here.” The boys were at the Junior carnival and they had seen and done everything except have their fortunes told. Soxy’s fortune was quite favorable. He was told that a dark-eyed girl had come into his life whom he admired very much. Tie should cultivate her acquaintance for she would have a good influence on him. Red stood by during the fortune telling with a broad grin on his face, but Soxy was thinking of the dark-eyed girl in the hall. After the boys had had their fortunes told they wandered up and down the halls. It was growing late and there were not many people around. “I wish that Barbara would go to the sleighride with me.” said Soxy, for Barbara was the dark-eyed girl, “but Hank Gibbons is always hanging around her. I suppose she’ll go with him. He lives right across the street from her and she sold him some of her books, so that they are pretty well acquainted. I don’t believe she likes him much, though.” “There they are now.” said Red, “I suppose he’s taking her to the dance.” ‘ I suppose so. ’ ’ answered Soxy. ‘‘ I ain’t going to the dance myself. Come on in here.” he added, as he slunk into a classroom. “There’s nothing going on here.” Although Soxy didn’t say so. he didn’t want Hank to see him. As he slid into a seat he pulled out a book to see whose seat he was in. “Well. I’ll be jiggered!” he ejaculated, “this is Barbara’s seat. See, this history has her name in it. Say, Red. I have an idea! I’m going to write a note here in the front and ask her to go to the sleighride with me.” Red thought it was a brilliant idea and Soxy wrote the note in the book. After he had signed his name he wrote, “ 1 . S. If it would be convenient for you. I would like to have you let me know whether or not you can go Monday night. I’ll meet you at your gate at seven-thirty.” The next morning when Soxy awoke, the first thing he thought of was the note. Then he felt exceedingly foolish. “That was a silly thing to do.” he thought, “she’ll be sure not to go with me now. I don’t know what possessed me to do such a thing. I guess that fool fortune-teller had something to do with it—and things seem so much different at night than in the broad daylight. She’ll think that I was afraid to go up and ask her to her face. Gee, I’m a nut!” The thought of that note bothered Soxy all day Sunday. He decided to go to school early Monday morning and erase it. However, when Soxy went into the room Monday morning, Barbara was already there. He blushed, stammered a good morning and hurried out. About seven-fifteen Monday night Soxy stood on the corner where Barbara lived. He was fifteen minutes early, but he wanted time to think what he would say. At the same time Hank Gibbons, wearing a dark blue dress of his sister’s, which was very much too tight for him. was standing in front of her mirror try-ing on hats. He finally chose a wide-brmmed. floppy hat. and snatching up a coat, stood and grinned at his reflection. Then he took a history book from the dresser and. glancing at the inside cover, he grinned all the harder. “I’ll be there all right, old chap,” he chuckled to himself, “at seven-thirty sharp.” Soxy had been waiting only a minute when the door of the Brooks home opened and Barbara came down the walk. He was startled for he did not expect to see her for at least fifteen minutes. To his annoyance she seemed surprised to see him there. “Oh, hello.” she said, and as Soxy came up to her she added. “I was just going down to Grace’s after her English notebook.” Soxy was still more annoyed, but he asked if he might accompany her. Neither mentioned a note in the front of a history until they were nearly at Grace’s. Then Soxy summoned up all his courage and said. “I suppose you got my note, didn’t you?” “Your note?” questioned Barbara in surprise. “What note?” “Why, didn’t you get it?” said Soxv. feeling relieved but puzzled. “It was just a note asking you to go to the sleighride.” he explained. “I wrote it in your ancient history.” “Why, I don’t take ancient history.” said Barbara. “Oh. don’t you?” said Soxy, now thoroughly puzzled. “That’s funny, but will you go to the sleighride with me anyhow?” “Why. yes.” answered Barbara. “I should love to go. Tt’s next Friday, isn’t it?” she added, as they went up the walk to Grace’s. “I don’t believe there is anyone home here.” said Soxv. “No, there isn’t,” said Barbara.” for there isn’t a single light burning. Well. I guess I’ll go back home again.” she added, and both of them started back the way they had come. Hank had sneaked over into Barbara’s yard and was growing rather uneasy waiting for Soxy. As Barbara and Soxy came up to the gate. Barbara’s father came out in search of his evening paper. He heard Hank’s steps at the side of the house and went around to investigate. Hank, however, had caught sight of Barbara and Soxy coming up the walk and was so surprised that he didn’t hear Mr. Brooks coming. There was a bright moon and Mr. Brooks recognized Hank in spite of his effeminate clothing. “Well. Henry.” he exclaimed, “what on earth are you doing around here in that kind of a rig?” Hank, however, did not wait to answer. In his excitement he dropped the history and raced across the yard past Soxv and Barbara. “Why, that was Henry!” exclaimed Barbara, and then they hurried over to the place where Hank had dropped the book. Soxy picked up the book and there on the inside cover was the note he had written just below the name, “Barbara Brooks.” “See?” he inquired, as he showed the note to Barbara, “It has your name in it.” “Oh, yes.” exclaimed the girl, “that is the history I used last year, but I sold it to Henry this year.” The next morning Hank met Soxv with a sheepish look, but as Soxy handed him his history he said, “It’s ail right. Hank. She is going with me, anyway.” —M. S., ’18. Lost—Two Dogs It was a warm spring morning- The sun heat down softly upon two yellow dogs, stretched luxuriously on the high school steps. The larger dog stretched, yawned and slowly raised his head. “Gee. Beauty, I wish Red would hurry. He’s been in there for two whole hours. What he wants to stay in there for. with the whole outside world just beckoning us to come into the hills, is more than I can see!” The other dog rolled over. “Somethin’s surely wrong with that boy! A year ago you couldn’t have kept him inside a school building on a day like this. T suppose, though, that he has to keep up his reputation as a Senior. Seniors never play hooky. Suddenly the main door opened. The two dogs were on the alert in an instant, but it was only a couple of boys on tbeir way to the “gym.” Beauty sniffed suspiciously at their heels, but was rewarded bv a threatening movement of a foot. “Clear out of here! You yellow dogs are forever hanging around here. Why don’t you go home ? ’ ’ As the boys disappeared. Abraham gave a short bark of delight. “Gee whillikuns. Beauty, they’ve left the door open !” Sure enough the heavy door was open a tiny crack, and by rmich scratching and prying, the dogs could at last squeeze through. With a mad rush they were up the stairs, sniffing here and there for a trace of their master. “Careful. Abe! Don’t go in there! That’s the office. I don’t know exactly what that is but it must be something awful. A “Keteham” lives in there, for when Red goes in there he doesn’t come home till real late.” “He must be something like the man who chases us when we come out without our collars.” returned Abe. “only they don’t call the man in there a catcher, but a “Principal Keteham.” that means that he is the highest kind of a catcher there is.” So the two dogs made the tour of the building. Finally, after exploring the assembly, amid much confusion they dejectedly descended the stairs. Abe suddenly stopped short and. lifting his grizzled muzzle, sniffed deliciously. “I smell eats.” Hastily the dogs followed the tempting smell to the girls’ cloak room and, for several minutes, had the time of their lives tearing open lunches, scattering the contents and eating all the delicacies. At last they had eaten their fill and made their way to an open door. The room was empty except for a single man who sat reading at his desk. Queer odors, strange to the dogs, floated through the open door and a complicated apparatus covered the long tables. The effect was depressing and Beauty could not refrain from one long howl. With a start the man jumped to his feet and glanced wildlv in the direction of the disturbance. Then a fiendish grin of delight overspread his countenance and. grabbing a yellow dog in each hand, he shouted exultantly. “A specimen! A specimen! John, bring the chloroform, quick.” That afternoon the biology class studied the nervous system of the dog. and the next morning the following “ad” appeared in the Missoulian : “Lost—Two Yellow Dogs. Please notify----------” —RED. ’16. A Modern Cinderella It was a beautiful moonlight night. The world looked as if the fairies had scattered precious diamonds on the gleaming snow. Old Sentinel beamed down upon the campus of the University of Montana with a fatherly aspect. The beauty and mystery of the wonderful night made little Betty Brownlow happy just to be alive. She clutched a tiny package in her arm and hurried up the steps of the Dorm, “Hello, you old darling!” she cried to her room-mate, Dorothy Duncan. “I have just been to the postoffice to get this package. I wonder what it is. It is from Aunt Mary. Oh! I can’t get this old string untied fast enough. Ouch! There it is.” “Oh ! Ah ! The girls cried in unison. Dot took up one of the dainty red slippers, that had just come from Aunt Mary in Paris, and exclaimed. “Betty! Do you mean to say these will fit you? I didn’t know your feet were so small. Thus slipper looks as Cinderella’s must have done.” “Oh!” Betty cried, “They will look wonderful with mv new red dress tonight at the athletic ball. Dot. I ’ll be all in red and gold. Oh ! I am so happy!” Seven silvery ehimes rang out over the quiet campus. The girls started to dress. Betty began to comb her hair in great haste. Dot, rushing to find her brush, was keeping up a lively conversation with Betty. Betty suddenly became quiet and her rosy lips formed themselves into an irresistible pout, as she said. “Oh! dear! I wish I were going with Bob. I was such a chump to get angry at him. I know he would like me in my new dress and slippers. Red is his favorite color.” Soon the girls were dressed. Betty was radiant in her scarlet dress and slippers with the little touch of gold on them. Prom the tips of her tiny toes to her beautifully coiled hair, she was perfection. Her new scarlet slippers added to her lovely costume. She made such a pretty picture, and her dress and slippers were so bright, that Dot exclaimed: “You look as if a fairy godmother had touched you with her wand and turned the school girl into a real Cinderella.” The dance was a brilliant affair. The soft lights, beautiful music, and charmingly gowned girls made the old “gym” look like a fairy palace. Betty was easily the most beautiful girl on the floor, and indeed. Bob. from his place in one of the cozy corners, saw no one else that whole evening. Bob refused to dance that evening and no inducement of his friends could make that “dumpy stag” dance. After the dance. Betty slipped her precious slippers in her pocket and she and Harry Maybrook scurried across the campus to the Dorm, as it was late and Betty must be in before twelve o’clock. A little while after they had disappeared. Bob slowly and reluctantly crossed the campus. His head was lowered and he walked like a man in a dream. The moon was shining brightly on the glistening snow. Suddenly, with a cry. Bob darted forward and picked up a tiny high-heeled slipper. It was scarlet and had a rich gold buckle on it. He did not know how long he stood there looking at the pretty slipper. It was so small, that he could hold it out on the palm of his hand. Some time later a sweet voice at his elbow said, “Did you find my slipper. Bobby? I—I came to look for it. I thought no one would see me. and—” “Betty!” Bob said fervently, as he turned and seized her little hand in his large ones. “Don’t, Bob. I am awfully sorry that, th------- I was so horrid! Please forgive me. (Pause.) May I have my slipper? It is getting late and I just had to come to find my—” “Betty, dear. I am going to keep the slipper for a while. And. dear, where can I find your father? I have something to talk over with him.” Bob said with determination. —G. P., ’16. Tug” Henderson, Substitute “Pug” Henderson was the biggest, ugliest, awkwardest boy in high school. They called him “Pug” because his nose resembled a turned-up cucumber. His face was almost repulsive, in its freckled singularity with the rest of the world. Ilis disposition was jovial. Good nature seemed to radiate from every pore. His dear blue eyes were always smiling, yet if one took the trouble to penetrate the smile, he might see an indomitable spirit peacefully reposing behind those deceptive curtains. The day of days for Missoula High School had arrived. The great championship football game between Butte and Missoula was to be played that very afternoon and the weather was perfect. The time came for the game. The band struck up a lively air as the Butte Tnvincibles trotted haughtily onto the field. Missoula soon followed and the local rooters sent up a deafening cheer. The referee called out, “Are you ready, Missoula ? ’ ’ The answer came, “We are.” The game was on. “Pug” Henderson, as was his custom, sat on the sidelines with the rest of the “subs.” He watched the game in an unconcerned way. as the two best teams in the state fought it out for the State Championship. He never took anything seriously; he wasn’t built that way. But what does that excitement among the players mean ? Some are running for water, others are shouting, “Give him air!” Something has happened to one of the players. Soon a light-haired boy is being carried limply from the field. The figure of this boy is so familiar that a groan escapes the bleachers as M. H. S. rooters realize that Dutch Lansing, our Dutch, and the brains of the team, has broken an arm and cannot continue in the game. The voice of Coach McGough is heard. “Anderson, take Lansing’s place at quarter, and you, “Pug” Henderson, take Andy’s place at half. You know the signals. Let’s see what you’ve got in you. Tf you show a yellow streak now the game is lost. I’m going to watch you.” “Pug” felt the blood rush through his brain. For the first time in his life he was serious. A score of 6-6 and three minutes left to play was anything but ludicrous. His muscles became tense; his jaws came together with a decisive click. He’d show McGough that there was no yellow streak in him .was his thought as he took his position at half. “22, 18, 41—hike,” snapped out Andy. Now or never thought “Pug” as he automatically jumped into place to receive the ball. He gathered the pass, tucked the ball under his arm and plunged through the hole the tackles had opened for him. Did he make a big gain? Did he? He made a touch down. He was so all-fired mad that a stone wall couldn’t have stopped him. And Missoula won the championship? They did, by a score of 13 to 6. And what did “Pug” Henderson say? Well, after the game they all erowded to him to congratulate him on his wonderful touchdown and everything, but he didn’t seem to care much about their compliments. “What does McGough think about it, does he still think I’m yellow?” he asked. McGough happened to be standing within hearing distance and he came over and slapped “Pug” on the shoulder and said. “Pug, old boy. I’m proud of you. I’m going to pick you for my all-state team.” And “Pug” was so happy that genuine tears of joy began to trickle down his dear old homely face. —F. P., ’16. hen Marse Patty Came After Mammy Lou Mammy Lou was finishing the week’s ironing in the old out-kitchen of the big house. It was getting late in the afternoon, and the long shadows from the persimmon tree lay across the threshold, warning her that she would have to “step lively” if she got through before supper time. “No. Miss Lizzie. I jes' caint tell you’-all no mo’ stories dis ebenin’. ” she said, shaking her head decidedly. “Seems lak hit sorter disrupts my min’ when I tries to talk and wirk, too; an I jes’ gotter get dis yere ironin’ done.” “But you promised. Mammy Lou.” wailed a chorus of small voices. If Mammy Lou never did anything else she never broke her promises to the children. “Did I, sho nuff?” she mused. “Now huccome me do dat, when I knowed I had all dis yere wirk to do, an ’ de beans to shell, an ’ dat ar pullet to pick, an’—” “Let me shell the beans.” cried Lizzie, “and Tommy and Maribell can pick the chicken. Then you can tell the story while you iron just well’s not. You know you do it lots.” “Hum-m-m, well I s’pose T might.” replied the goodnatured old darky, always glad of an excuse to humor her beloved charges. “Now. Miss Lizzie, let me tie dis big towel ovah yo’ clean dress; an’ yo’ Miss Maribell. run an’ get an ap’on fo’yo’ an’ Marse Tom. Dar. now!” “Now we’re ready. Mammy Lou.” prompted Lizzie when tin beans and feathers had begun to flv from energetic fingers. “Le-me-see.” pondered Mammy, absently testing a fresh iron. Shall I tell erliout de brin’le cow what got les’ in de woods ’cause she was too squint-eyed to go straight home, or ’bout—” “Aw! don’t tell none of those baby stories.” protested Tommy. “Tell another ha’ut story, about Uncle Zeb what was cornin’ down de road hv the graveyard and a ghost come out and grabbed his coattails.” he pleaded, and the others gave a shiver of delight as they added their appeals to his. “Well. T dunno. children.” Mammy said. “It’s Friday and de dark oh de moon an’ hit aint jas’ do time fo’ to tell vou’-all sech tales. Old Marse Pattv mighty ’ticlar how we-uns talk ov-ah his ’fairs.” “Uncle Zeb don’t say ‘Marse Patty.’ he says ’de debble,’ ” volunteered Tommy. “ITush-h-h. chile!” hastily interposed Mammy, rolling her eves to the darkest corner of the kitchen. “Taint p’lite to speak of de gem’man dat away ” “Oh. go on. Mammy Lou. You know Old Patty can’t touch you with that rabbit’s foot around your neck.” urged Tommy. “M-hum! Well, whar’s I at ? Dar. now! T ’dare to goodness ef I aint gone an’ bu’nt you maw’s bos’ tablecloth, astanding here disaways. Old Marse Patty oughter get me sho’ nuff.” “What kind of a coat did he have on?” interposed Maribell. Considerable help was needed to get Mammy Lou started. “TTit was dat long-tailed preachin’ coat.” replied Mammy rising obligingly to the bait. “He was cornin’ down de lane in de dark, when all a sudden he felt somethin’ bangin’ on his coat tails an—” “TTow did he know it was Marse Pattv?” inquired Lizzie. “Tie done heard de ‘free raps.” solemnly replied Mammy ‘Free—slow— raps!” She struck the table three times with her hand. “ When yo’ hears ‘free —slow—raps, dat-a-way, hit means. ‘Yo’ better watch out! T’se er cornin’!” Den you mils’ say, ‘Who is yo?’ TTit muss’ be ‘free raps, not seben or one. day don’ count. Tf der comes free mo’ raps hit means. ‘T’m old Marse Patty!’ Den yo’ gotter say. “Who yo’ alter?’ and ef der comes free mo’ raps it means ‘I’m atteryou!” Oh! Lawdy! What dat?” Mammy Lou. her eyes bulging nearly out of her forehead, leaned over the ironing board to peer into the dark corner behind the stove. Listening intently, the children heard, clearly and distinctly, three slow raps coming from that direction. Everything was suspended and each gazed awe-stricken toward the corner where the mysterious sounds came from. Mammy Lou clutched wildly at the rabbit’s foot around her neck and managed to gasp out in a whisper, “Who is you?” Almost without a pause there came three more raps. , “It’s old Marse Patty,” whispered Lizzie, clinging to Tommy in terror. Old Mammy Lou, her face the color of ashes, and her eyes wide with horror, managed to break the string holding the rabbit’s foot and held it straight towards the corner with as much steadiness as her hands could muster. Again, clear and loud, came three more raps. With a howl of terror the children flung themselves into the protection of Mammy Lou’s apron and all rushed frantically from the room. At that moment a crash came from the corner followed by a loud, rasping cry. Mammy Lou. from the doorway, saw a black object emerge from the corner, heard a series of terrifying squawks, and turning to flee missed her footing and rolled to the ground. The half-picked chicken, which Tommy still held made a cushion for Maribell and the beans were scattered everywhere. Edwin, sauntering up the path to ask when supper would be ready, viewed with amazement the shocking scene. “Why, Mammy Lou!” he exclaimed, “What on earth made you come down stairs that way?” “Oh. Marse Edwin!” she wailed, “It’s de free raps, free—slow—raps! I reckon old Marse Patty sho’ come fo’ yo’ Mammy dat time.” Bewildered, Edwin listened to the story, which he could make out with difficulty from the excited tales of the children and Mammy’s frightened interjections. When it was told, he threw back Ills head and roared with laughter. “You silly old fool!” he said when he could speak again. “That was only the chicken behind the stove looking for crumbs and she must have happened to pick them up three at a time. 1 guess she must have upset a pan or something when she tried to escape.” Mammy Lou picked herself up and stalked indignantly up the steps. “Jes’s if dis old nigger don’ know a chicken from de debble hisself!” she snorted. “Now chil’len yo’-all jes’ go ’long. I don’ tell yo’ no more stories on Fridays noways.” —W. K., ’17. JfootbaU • ■ At the beginning of the school year of 1913-1914, under the expert coaching of McGough, we looked forward to a bright year on the football field. The team was very’ light and for the most part inexperienced, but appeared to be very fast and full of fight. The first game of the year was with Hamilton. Some say the score was 96 to 0 and others that it was 110 to 0; at any rate, it was bo large that mosi oi mem lost track of it. The next game was with Butte, early in October. Butte was looking for revenge for the 31 to 0 drubbing that we gave them the year before and they partly got it. The score was 13 to 6 in their favor. Then came the Gallatin game. It was our turn to go after revenge and the boys play’ed like veterans. They showed more real football in this game than any high school team that had ever played on Montana field. We went them one better and beat them 24 to 0 against their score of 26 to 14 of the previous year. This ended the home season and the boys played two more games away from home, one at Philipsburg and one at Victor. The scores were respectively 43 to 0 and 61 to 0 in our favor. At Victor the boys had a most enjoyable time. They gave us a chicken dinner about an hour before the game and the boys sure did fill up. Most of them ate so much that they could hardly run. If they hadn’t done this there is no telling how large the score might have been. This ended a very successful season. The team lined up sis follows: Ends, Kemp and Doty; tackles, McC uarrie, Dorsey, Spencer, Toole; guards, Eahart and Carver; center, Hester; quarter, Anderson (Capt.) ; halves, Jones, Lansing and Murphy; full back, Metlen. 1914. Again at the start of this year, with Hester as captain, we went out after the state championship. With seven letter men back, the prospects looked extremely bright, and we could see no barrier between us and the championship. The first game of the season was with the team from the College of Montana from Deer Lodge. The score was about 100 to 0 in our favor. Our next game was played in Butte. The keen rivalry between the schools was in evidence everywhere. It was one of the most heart-breaking games that Missoula ever had. The field was covered with ice and snow and a cold wind was blowing across the gridiron. During the first half of the game our team had the best of it but could not score. In the second half the play was about even until the last five minutes when Butte started a march to our goal line. There was only ten seconds left to play when Butte pushed the ball over and won the game, 6 to 0. Two weeks later we brought Great Falls here. The university field being too wet, the game was played at the ball park and resulted rather disasterouslv for Missoula. In the first quarter Great Falls scored a touchdown on a fumbled punt and this was the last time that they got within striking distance of our goal. In fact, they did not make first down once during the entire game. Missoula could gain almost at will until she got within ten yards of Great Falls’ goal and then through lack of head work and team work the hall would stop. This was the ease all through the game and it ended 7 to 0 in favor of Great Falls. On Thanksgiving day our boys went to Billings to play. This was probably the longest trip ever taken by a high school in Montana to play a football game. It proved a walkaway for Billings. In the early part of the game two of our men were hurt and had to be taken out and the remaining veterans were hurt to some extent. Anyway, we got beat 65 to 0 to the surprise of both sides. The treatment received in Billings more than offset the defeat and the boys felt and still feel endebted to Billings high for the fine time which they had there. This ended the season. The fellows who played the different positions during the year were A. Nelson, Crouch and Wilburn, ends; McQuarrie and Spencer, tackles; Hawk, Maddox and Carver and O. Nelson, guards; Deschamps. center; Lansing, quarter; Hester (Capt.), Anderson and .Jones, half-backs; Metlen, fullback. 1915. Well—er—ah—well, anyway, we got beat by Stevensville 24 to 21. After this, on account of parental objections and lack of interest in the game, football was dropped for the year. The men who played in the game were: Lansing (Capt.), II. Schlossberg, Lawrenson, Doty. Wilburn, Granger, Maddox. Barry, Clark, Anderson, Bell and Banning. The First Morning of School After Vacation I awoke and, oh! T found it very late. I jumped into my clothes with greatest haste. For I did not have any time to waste, As it was now already half-past eight. I madly rushed outside and to the gate And then I found my shoes were still unlaced. These quickly tied, I up the street then raced, But missed a car which was my fate. I ran and finally arrived at school One minute after that old bell had rung. And I was counted as a tardy one. And now according to the foolish rule, Must stay these forty minutes after school And that is why I have this sonnet sung. —A. W.. '16. Wilburn, forward; Lansing, center; Lawrenceson, sub, Schloss-berg. forward; Granger. sub. Crouch, guard; Courtney, guard. pall For the two years previous to 1914, Missoula’s team had been steadily gaining prominence and at the start of the 1914 season, a contender for the state ehampionship was expected, and the followers were not disappointed, that is, not so much. 'I he following is a list of the games played with the scores: Missoula 10 Philipsburg 17 Missoula 43 Philipsburg 27 Missoula 28 Helena 20 Missoula 36 Big Timber 22 Missoula 30 Wallace 20 Missoula 19 Burke, Idaho. 13 Missoula 39 Butte 20 Missoula 32 Helena 29 Missoula 41 Wallace 13 Missoula 35 Forsyth 7 Missoula 36 Butte 24 Missoula 52 Dillon 28 Missoula 33 Carbon 19 Missoula 16 Helena 17 That is not such a bad record, is it ? Winning twelve out of fourteen games is an excellent record and one that we should be proud of, to say the least. After beating decisively all the good teams in the state we went to tournament at Bozeman easy favorites, but the luck broke against us and Helena beat us in the last game by the close score of 17 to 16. It was a game that will be remembered by those who saw it for many years to come. It is not half bad to get second place among the twenty-five teams entered. The team that represented Missoula were: Eaheart and Jones, guards; McQuarrie, center; Hester and Lansing, forwards, and Whistler and Fox, substitutes. Eaheart and Hester were picked on the All-State team. 1914-1915. Three men were left from the team of the last year, namely: McQuarrie, Lansing and Jones. With these three Coach McGough built up a team that was nearly as strong as the former team. Fox was placed at forward and Crouch at the vacant guard. Hawk and Wilburn acted as substitutes during the season. During the early part of the season class games were played and resulted in the class of 1915, then Sophomores, winning the championship. The class of ’17 was second. '16 third, and ’IS was in the cellar. After this the regular team started in to have regular workouts. The first game of the season was played with Helena and proved a defeat for the home team. 19 to 10. The team went to Great Falls from Helena and turned the tables, winning easily by the score of 29 to 20. Two weeks later Philipsburg was played at the “U” gym and defeated to the tune of 45 to 6. On Washington’s birthday we played Helena again. Much to the satisfaction of the home team and followers we defeated the champions 42 to 33. This was one of the fastest and best games ever played on the university fl x r. Captain McQuarrie was the star of the game, shooting one long basket after another. The whole team played excellent ball and deserve much credit. On the following Friday Stevcnsville was taken into camp easily 35 to 17. The next week, the last home game was played with Butte and Missoula got another victory to her credit. The tournament was a repetition of the year before. The following is a list of the scores in the games in which Missoula contested: Missoula 30 Missoula 20 Missoula 21 Missoula 12 Flathead 8 Park 4 Fergus 12 Helena 21 And again the boys came back with silver medals, the two gold ones going to Helena. 1915-1916. The season was again started with class games, but this year an admission fee of two-bits was charged for season tickets, and the series drew large crowds. Probably because those who bought tickets had to get their money’s worth. Mr. Garrison, who was engaged as a coach at the beginning of the year, asked several of the more experienced men to coach the respective teams as it would be too much work for him. This system worked very well and all of the teams showed real basketball at all times. Each team played every other team three times. Some of the games would have drawn good crowds as pugilistic encounters had they been so advertised. Not only that, but the crowds would have been satisfied. The series ended in a tie between the Seniors and the Sophomores. When the tie was played off it resulted in a victory for the Sophomores. The standing of the teams was as follows: Sophomores, first; Seniors, second; Freshmen, third; Juniors, fourth. As a whole the games were very close, many of them ending in tie scores. While the class games were going on the regulars practiced three times a week, taking light workouts, consisting mostly of preliminary work. The first game was played in our gym (we call it that for courtesy) with a team composed of alumni members of the university. We won 28 to 14. The teams were lined up as follows. Alumni—Eaheart and Jones, guards; McQuarrie, center; Hawk and A. Nelson, forwards. High School—Crouch and LI. Schlosslierg, guards; Wilburn, center; Courtney and Lansing (Capt.), forwards. The team then played the university team a practice game, which resulted in a victory for the university, 25 to 44. This is not so bad, considering the experience of the U men. The first out-of-town game was played with Helena. This was the first game of the season, and the first important game that Schloss-berg and Courtney had been in, and they necessarily were somewhat nervous. The score was 16 to 11 in favor of Helena. On the following Friday the team journeyed to Butte. Journeyed is the word, too, for it took the team sixteen hours to get there. There was a wreck the other side of Garrison and we laid over there for six hours. Then leaving Garrison it took six more hours to travel the eleven miles from that point to Deer Lodge. The team reached Butte at two-twenty. They slept until about ten in the morning and played at two in the afternoon. Not only was our team in very poor condition on account of the trip, but Butte had all kinds of horseshoes in their basket-shooting. We were beaten 34 to 21. Through a Use nee of any high school games, the team played two games with the university freshmen, winning both. The scores were 23 to 19 and 18 to 15. They were both good games and gave the team much valuable experience. The next games were played at Stevensville and Corvallis. This was the most enjoyable trip of the year, although it was short, first because we showed Stevensville high that they didn’t have Missoula’s goat in everything, as they thought, and second, because of the great time that the fellows had in Corvallis. The seore. 23 to 18 in Stevensville was a great surprise to their supporters. The Corvallis game, although not so close, was the greatest fun that the fellows had had for some time. After the first five minutes the game was a joke to Missoula’s players. Wilburn was unable to make this trip on account of eye trouble and he sure missed some time. Anaconda was taken on next at the LT Gym. They had not been beaten before and it looked like a hard game and probably a defeat, but the Smelter boys were easy and we won 30 to 17. On the following Friday Stevensville was played a return game in Missoula. The score was 31 to 19 in our favor. For the last home game of the year, Helena was scheduled. This game always is close and a large crowd was present to witness it. At the start of the game it looked like a walkaway for Missoula, but Helena recovered in the second half and the game ended 28 to 21 in their favor. It was a rather rough game and the refereeing was somewhat loose, but the boys had no kick coming, for they were beaten fair and square. On Tuesday, March 7, the team composed of Wilburn and Schlossberg, forwards, Lansing, center, Crouch and Courtney, guards, and Granger, sub, left for Bozeman for the annual basketball tournament. Missoula was considered out of the running and not much was thought of her chances to win a place in the final game. The first game was with Whitehall. It was a slow, loosely-played game. The first half ended 2 to 2, but in the second half Missoula went in to win and the final score was 19 to 7 in our favor. By winning this game we were paired with Butte for the second game. Nearly everyone except the Missoula bunch thought that Butte would win, but the contrary proved true. Butte had a reputation for roughness and Missoula went into the game to beat them at their own tactics, and as a result won 21 to 18. This game put Missoula against Big Timber, a team that had been put out of the district tournament at Billings, but was permitted to go to Bozeman by a fluke. Missoula did not go into the game with the same spirit that she did in the Butte game, and consequently lost 14 to 5. It seemed like the boys had lost all their “pep” in this game. They were beaten fair and square and it was their own fault. By the loss of this game Missoula was put out of the running for the championship and was paired with Billings to play for third or sixth place. These two teams were staying at the same place, the Frazer House (we can’t call it a hotel), and were quite friendly, but all friendliness was dropped when they met in the second game of the evening. Billings started with a rush and gained a good lead in the first ten minutes.. Then, Missoula started in to play ball and it was real ball. too. The half ended 8 to 4 in Billings' favor. In the second half Missoula came back determined to win and in the first five minutes the score was a tie. After that Missoula lead all the way. When time was called we had 17 to Billings 13. The stars of the game were Harris for Billings and Wilburn and Schlossberg for Missoula. It was certanly a hard-earned victory and it showed that Missoula still has that old never-say-die spirit, for it is a hard thing for a team to do to come back and win the game after being outclassed so thoroughly in the first half. By this victory Missoula got third place, which is not so bad when you consider that there were over fifty basketball teams in the state competing for the honors. Let’s hope for a championship team next year. It was a very successful season altogether. Missoula winning ten games and losing five. TRACK—1914. Early in the second semester Coach McGough started the track men to work, taking long runs and indoor exercise to develop “wind” and endurance and the result of the hard and continuous work was very satisfactory. There were no interschool meets in 1914 and only a meet with the university freshmen which resulted in an easy victory for the high school. The rest of the time was taken up by hard work on the track which the board built for us at the end of Sixth street cast. As the time of the meet approached evenone seemed in the “pink of condition.” and the championship seemed almost within our grasp. But, the meet proved faster than we had expected and we had to be content with second place, Gallatin winning first with 33 points. Missoula second with 26, and Butte, touted to win the meet, third with 24 points. The men who were entered from Missoula were : A. Anderson, C. Andersson. Cavin, Courtney, Denney, Dorsey. Doty, Foster, Graves, Grey, A. Jones. Kemp, Lansing, McQuarrie, May, Metlen, Murphy, Orr, Stieht, Patterson. Phillips. Ross, Sterling. The following placed: Kemp (Capt.), Foster. Stitch, Murphy, Denny, Anderson and Dorsey. Missoula’s was the only team that had so many men place. Gallatin had only three, Cort Howard making 24 of their points himself, and Butte also had only three men who placed. This shows that Missoula’s team was well balanced and one that earned everything that they got by teamwork and not by having individual stars. Too much credit cannot be given to John McGough for the training which he gave the boys and for the spirit which he put into them. 1915. By the same stiff, long, training that had been prevalent since the coming of McGough. the boys worked during the spring of 1915 and in the end they- got their due reward, the State Championship. This was the first since 1908 that Missoula had won the annual meet at the university, and the first time that it had been won by anybody without the help of individual stars. We had the best balanced team in the meet and for that reason we got the honors. This was truly a fitting climax to Coach McGough’s career here as athletic director. The following men were entered: C. Anderson. Lansing, Metlen. Roberts. Blackler. Carver. Trafford. Stieht. Graves. Markle, Jacobson. McQuarrie, Beckwith. Hawk. Wilburn and Phillips. Those who won places and a record of their respective places are the following: McQuarrie. second in the shot put, third in the high hurdles and fifth in the discus hurl; Hawk, first in javelin throw. Beckwith, first in the shot, third in the discus, fifth in javelin; Phillips second in the javelin; Stieht. first in the mile, first in one quarter and second in the half mile; Metlen. first in one quarter; Anderson, second in a quarter and fifth in the fifty-yard dash. Everyone of these boys had been out for track for at least two years before the meet and were all developed bv McGough; none of them were any good when they first came out for track, hut by constant faith in the teachings of “the coach” they developed into stars. The hoys give all the credit for the victory to him. It was his last team here and he could not have left a better remembrance. Missoula’s score was an even 40. The nearest competitor was Flathead with 36 points and Butte third with 29. THE 1916 MEET. The track team representing Missoula High again won the State Interscholastic Meet with a total of forty points against overwhelming odds. When at the beginning of the mile run Captain Sticht unfortunately hurt his ankle it certainly looked glum to the followers of the track team because Captain Sticht was depended upon to win the mile, half mile and quarter-mile runs. But here came in the nerve and determination of the rest of the track team. Instead of giving up they went right ahead and won the meet anyhow. Butte was the closest competitor with 32 points. Doty was the shining light of the Missoula team with 13 points. He won the 100-vard dash and the 220-yard low hurdles and placed third in the broad jump. He certainly showed himself to he a great track man. He ran Molthen of Butte a close second for individual honors. Lansing placed second in the low hurdles and finished his good work with third place in the 50-yard dash. Tt was a fitting climax to the career of one of the best athletes who ever competed for the Purple and Cold. Sterling surprised everyone with the apparent ease with which he won the 120-vard high hurdles. He easily distanced the field in this event. Phillips, as was expected, won the iavelin throw with ease. All other contestants fell far behind his winning mark. He also contributed three points with a magnificent run in the half mile. II. Schloss-berg copped third place in the polevault by hard work. Tt was his first vear in the meet and to win such a place is worthy of mention. Smith ran fourth in the mile run and Spencer took fifth in the shot put. Cray also took fifth place in the ouarter-mile run. This sums tip the point winners, all who deserve credit for the fighting qualities displayed after the accident which befell Captain Sticht The meet as a whole was a splendid one. It was the largest yet held, over 300 contestants taking place, which ranks the event as one of the largest in the country. Although the records as a whole were slow, the weather was far from favorable. McCowan of Fergus broke the only record in the shot put. In the relav raee the Missoula ouartct. consisting of Lansing. Barrv. Scliloss-berg and Cray failed to win. but nut up a magnificent race. Lansing. Barrv and Sehlossberg all kept Missoula in the lead by a wide margin, but Cray succumbed to the speed of the colored runner from Helena. Parsons, who by a magnificent sprint in the final dash beat Cray to the tape and won the relay for Helena. Large crowds attended the meet as in past years and the outside delegations were as large as ever. Following is the list of events and the winners: POLE VAULT.

We’ll honor thee. Oh. Green and Gold! —J. S., ’19. THE 1916 TRACK SQUAD octeb The sehool year which we are just finishing has, indeed, been a successful one in every way. For a number of years an effort has been made to bring the various classes closer together socially. The latter part of 1915 and the first of 1916 has seen the accomplishment of this desire. The Freshmen gave a number of parties. The Sophomores, although not as active as the Frosh, have done their share. The Juniors and Seniors, however, have entertained a great deal. Although the parties as a whole were very simple, they brought about a closer relationship between the students and faculty and between the classes. FROSTI PARTY. The members of the Class of 1919 enjoyed a masquerade in January. It was given in honor of the mid-year Freshmen. Dancing and delicious refreshments occupied a very happy evening. Miss James, Miss Ronan and Miss Book chaperoned the party. SOPH’S DANCE. The Sophomores had a most enjoyable dance in the “Gym” this winter. A great many attended the dance and voted the only Sophomore party a success. LITERARY CLUB. The Girls’ Literary Club gave one of the most enjoyable parties of the year. The costumes were dresses that had belonged to grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Styles of almost every period since the eighteenth century were represented. Old-fashioned games and dances were indulged in until delicious refreshments were served. This party was one of the most enjoyable and prettiest affairs of the year. LEAP-YEAR DANCE. The Junior class gave a dance in the K. of P. hall April 28. It was the first Leap Year party of the season and was particularly enjoyable because of this fact. The good music and a large crowd made it a dance long to be remembered. SENIOR GIRLS The Senior girls entertained in honor of the ladies of the faculty Hallowe’en. The gymnasium was decorated with jack-’o-lantems. witches and ghosts. The evening was spent in dancing, bobbing for apples and fortune-telling. At a late hour refreshments were served. The costumes were, indeed, unique. Miss Dorothy Wilkinson’s red nose was set off by her remarkable gown of green cheese-cloth, draped with a black lace curtain. Miss Ronan wore a black suit, the skirt of which embodied several different periods of fashion, as was illustrated by its three different lengths. The jacket, which was of the period of 1900. had “leg-of-mutton” sleeves. She carried a “real” seal muff. There were also Yama Yama girls, gypsies, witches, Dutch girls and Martha Washingtons. The guests of honor were: Miss Jellum, Thome, Castle. Christensen. Rook. Wright. Simpson. Rich. Ronan. Seholerman and James. YAMA YAMA PARTY. The Senior girls entertained the Senior boys at a Yama Yama party. The dignified Seniors came clad in grotesque costumes, and danced and played games during the evening. Delicious refreshments were served later in the evening by the girls. Misses Thorne and Simpson acted as chaperones. HARD-TIME PARTY. The Senior boys gave the Senior girls a “hard time” party in return for the Yama Yama party. Dancing and “hard time” refreshments made ud a very merry evening and the boys are to be complimented on the success of the party. FOR. MISS SIMPSON. On the afternoon of April 9 the Senior girls entertained for Miss Simpson. Little Madonna Fitzpatrick brought in a wheel-harrow, made gay with lavender and white flowers. This little cart contained many dainty gifts for use in Miss Simpson’s new home. Tea was served in the dining room of the domestic science department. The room was chamingly decorated in lavender and white and the dainty refreshments carried out this color scheme. Marjorie Frost, Hazel Turtle and Gladys Phillips acted as hostess and served, assisted hv little Inez Hallo-men, Anne Bennett and Mildred McQuarrie. SENIOR CAST. The members of the cast of “The Elopment of Ellen” were entertained at the home of Roger Trafford, March 1. A merry evening was spent in dancing and playing cards. At a late hour delicious refreshments were served. The company included Misses Oettys. Florence Dixon. Josephine Sheedy and Gladys Phillips. Messrs. Roger Trafford, Tom Swearingen, Frank Phillips and Osden Dryer. To Miss Simpson If you would seek a willing friend, A help in time of need; If you would ask a comrad true, A kin in thought and deed. We would not ponder long to choose. That seeming hard sought one. We’d turn our thoughts with one accord And choose,—Miss Simpson.

Every live and school-spirited student in sehool belongs to this organization. Its main purpose is to manage and finance school activities, draw the students closer together and provide social events. This year the association has accomplished all three of these aims. It lots successfully promoted and financed all school activities. The organization has now a greater membership than ever before and has succeeded in making its members feel as if they were a part of the school. The first social event of the season was the Freshman initiation, at which time the Freshmen were formally introduced into the school. The success of the Students’ Association this year was largely due to the work of the officers who are Lewis Lansing, president; Frank Phillips, vice president; Ozete Hatcher, secretary; T. R. Hazelrigg, treasurer. THE BOYS’ SENATE. Next to the Students’ Association the Boys’ Senate is the oldest organization in school, for it reaches back to the time when most of its members were in the primary grades. In 1910 it adopted a strict constitution and since then has been on a firm basis. The officers of the senate are elected every semester. This year the presidents were Sinclair Maclay and Lawrence Berg. The l)oys have taken even more interest in this organization this year than in the past. At the beginning of the year Mr. Sirnes, our censor, prophesied that the senate would be the livest body in school; and it has certainly come up to this prophecy. The interest has been so great and the attendance so large that it has been necessary to limit the membership. One of the things the senate has to l e proud of this year is the winning of a debate from the Girls’ Literary Club on the subject of “simplified spelling.’’ The senate has certainly accomplished its purpose, to advance the art of public speaking arid to teach the use of parliamentary rules. The school’s most able speakers have developed their talents while debating weighty, national questions in the senate. INMI9SOULETKA LITERARY SOCIETY. The Inmissouletka Literary Society is named after the Indian word for “Missoula.” It is a girls’ club, and was organized to bring the girls more closely together, and to stimulate their interest in literature and dramatics. It was started in the early part of the year, and the membership steadily rose to about seventy. Any high school girl or lady member of the faculty is eligible, so long as she is willing to take an active part in the club. No dues are charged, but at social sessions small collections are taken to pay for refreshments. The club meets twice a month. One session, consisting of a business meeting and a program. is held on Friday at 4:00 o'clock, in the assembly room. The other, which is a social meeting, is usually held in the gymnasium. The programs consist of original papers, readings, recitations, songs, and instrumental music. Some of the subjects given during the winter were: “Montana,” “Dixie.” “Humorous Selections,” “Hallowe’en,” “Christmas.” A “Scotch-Irish” and a “War” program were also given. Two of the most enjoyable social gatherings were the Old-Fashioned and the Co-ed parties. The officers of the club are: Hazel Egan, president; Leathie McCarthy, vice president, and Harriet Hall, secretary-treasurer. The committee which has charge of the programs consist of Ozete Hatcher, Lois Showed, Alma Burkhart, Marie Jones and Marjorie Simons. Each program is under the leadership of one of the girls of the Senior class, and is chosen by the chairman of the program committee. The leader is responsible for the success of the program of which she is in charge, and supervises and corrects all original papers and the choice of selections. Although this organization was just established this year, it has been successful, and will undoubtedly continue so for years. It has served to bring the girls together and to overcome their reluctance to speak before an audience, besid s furnishing many a good time to its members. THE GERMAN CLUB. The German Club was started last year under the leadership of Miss Schoeler-inann. All students in the German department of the school and members of the faculty are eligible to membership. The members of this organization have certainly enjoyed themselves and profited greatly by the work of the club. Regular meetings are held every week, at which time the members enjoy programs of reading, recitations and music. Several social meetings are held during the year. Last year the club gave two parties and a picnic. The Christmas program this year was one of the most enjoyable parties given in the gymnasium this season. During the party Santa Claus entered and gave everybody a present. Some received dolls or horns, while others were lucky enough to be given candy. Each year the German Club stages a play. This year the play, “Ein Amerikanishches Duell.” was given. “ZETA PHI.” I should know what God and man is.” “Flowers in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies, I hold you here, root and all, in my hand Little flower, but if I could understand What you are root and all and all in all, The “Zeta Phi” was organized early last fall by the students of the biology classes. We have twenty-five charter members and on account of its popularity more students are constantly asking for admission. We have had several long hikes and picnics, which have been the talk of the school. Many interesting lectures, an excellent debate, “Eugenics vs. Euthenics,” and many lively programs. We hold the highest honor of any society in our school of having written the first biology play. This play was written by the members of the “Zeta Phi.” It presents the ancient past, near past, present and future. It is a lively and snappy play. The “Zeta Phi” meets every Wednesday evening at 4:15 under the supervision of Florence Dixon, president; Joe Smith, vice president; Ebba Anderson, secreta ry-t reasurer. THE FARRARIAN CLUB. The Farrarian Club, under the direction of Miss Evelyn Castle, is a girls’ musical organization, named in honor of the popular American prima-donna, Geraldine Farrar. Comprised of forty members, it is nevertheless one of the smoothest running of the high school activities. The invariable costume of white “middies” and skirts, and red ties, donned by the Farrarians is a well-known feature. The general assembly has been entertained not only by the Farrarians, but by the Girls’ Glee Club of sixteen members, and by the Girls’ and Boys’ Quartets and the Mixed Quartet. The Farrarians have sung at such public performances jus the teachers’ institute, the lyceum lectures, the high school Christmas program, the tableaux and the Junior musicale. They will also appear on the commencement program. Although the chorus was organized only last fall, it has shown its worth and we hope it has come to stay. THE ORCHESTRA. The school is fortunate enough to possess an orchestra. It has about fifteen members and is led by Miss Castle. The orchestra has put in a great deal of hard work this year and has developed into an organization of which the school may well be proud. We all enjoy the orchestra as it plays at all the school social affairs. The Seniors are especially thankful to them for the music they rendered at the Senior play last winter. Our High School Days To that magical isle, down the river of Time, The island of Long Ago, They are taking away our high school days— We turn now, and watch them go, While remembrance fondly plays. There are fragments of scraps of 1912, When lusty and young, we came As Freshmen, to tackle the scornful “Sophs,” To begin to make us a name, To win the respect of the “Profs.” Down the river of Time, float the cherished names Of our teachers and athletes bold— Of Ketcham and James, of Logan and Wright — Wise heads, with hearts of gold, Our leaders in learning and might. The thrill of winning in contest keen, The pride of victory, The uplift of friendship proven true, Enrich our memory, Inspire us to be and to do. And so, as we wave a cheery goodbye, We classmates of 1916, To our high school days now floating away, While the mists roll in between. We bid their influence stay. -—Harriet E. Hall, ’16.

FRANK PHILLIPS Second Place in KxtemporaneouB Feb. 28.—At the city auditorium of Butte, Missoula entered the lists in the inter-high school debate series and came out with the small end of a two-to-one decision. The question for discussion was the same as that used in the local tryout, namely: Resolved, That the legislative assembly of Montana should be superseded by a non-partisan elective commission of not more than eleven members. Missoula maintained the affirmative and was represented by Evan Redcy. Mat Pearce and Lawrence Berg. Butte upheld the negative, the team consisting of Emmett O’Neal. Tom Brockway and Elsie Conley. The judges were Re W. H. Hannum. president of the Presbyterian college at Deer Lodge; Professor W. F. Brewer of the English department of the State College at Bozeman, and Miss Lucy Carson of the English department of the State Normal at Dillon. The Missoula team showed up well both in the main speeches and in rebuttal. Their constructive argument was very well organized and was presented in a finished, convincing manner. Moreover, the team was exceedingly well balanced, it being difficult to sav that any one of them was decidedly superior to the rest. On the other hand, it was very evident that the strength of the Butte team lay principally in Tom Brockway. Though not a polished speaker, he was probably the most effective debater on the floor. He devoted much of his main speech, as well as all of his rebuttal to refutation of a kind that was exceedingly telling and forceful. Butte’s victory was due rather to strategy than to superiority in argument. Instead of defending the present legislative system, Butte very adroitly presented in the second speech an elaborate substitute reform consisting of a modified cabinet government for states. Another feature in the strategic presentation of the negative was a series of questions which were put to the affirmative. Some of them the affirmative answered, but others they did not. On the whole, the two sides were quite equally matched, and neither team can be said to have been much superior to the other. The Missoula High School should be proud of the work of her team. And in view of the fact that none of its members graduate this year, we can expect to have a debate trio second to none in the state next year. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 1915 1915 Alumni CLASS OF 1915.

'The Elopement of Ellen The only class play of the year was staged by the Senior class on the night of January 22 in the university auditorium. The play was a farce comedy, “The Elopement of Ellen.” and due to Miss Getty’s faithful coaching and some hard work on the part of the cast, it proved a great success. The part of the devoted husband was taken by Osden Dreyer, who has taken part in several of our high school plays, with Gladys Phillips as his charming young wife. Our talented young star, Josephine Sheedy. filled the part of the heroine with Prank Phillips as the handsome hero. Florence Dixon played the part of “Dorothy.” while Roger Trafford dramatically acted the dashing lover. Tom Swearingen proved a bashful minister and acted the part so naturally that he would only have to stick his head through the door to send the audience into gales of laughter. After many perplexing and ludicrous situations the play ended happily for all concerned, in fact, a kiss on the part of the hero and heroine. Keep it Dark— Dead Secrets about the Play. Several of the practices were spent in fudge-making in the domestic science rooms and dancing in the halls. Between first and second acts the minister sneezed and in the confusion lost his mustache. The audience was so appreciative that they never missed a part of the play which was accidentally left out. When the characters departed, supposedly into a rose-filled garden, they in reality had to stand arranged between the scenery and back wall until the curtain fell. That’s why the walls of the Ford’s living room behaved so strangely. The kiss that ended the play was not a stag one. but the real thing. The cast isn’t really as handsome as they looked. A little paint and powder helps wonderfully. Limericks Dot Wilkinson’s sure a cute girl And she keeps a (Ea)hart in a whirl; We wonder oft times If e’er the glad chimes Will announce that he’s captured his pearl. Miss Marjorie P. seems quite serene And with a bov—is rarely seen; But you bet that her eyes Can make your pulse rise And make you feel queer in the—bean. Stitch long as a “Captain” has stood. And his track team’s especially good; That captain’s a “daisy,” There’s no one who’s lazy, And they’d win everything—if they could. There’s a young Senior lass—Ozete Hatcher, And even the teachers can’t catch’or; She’s as spry as a lark And in all things a shark. Why—there’s no one in school that can match’ We’ve a bright Senior boy name Clair. Who in arguing is always there; He talks all the while Everyone to beguile. But he never does get anywhere. There is a professor named Simes. Much he tells of jokes and rhymes; To amuse his classes And please the lasses He repeats them o’er many times. We have a fair Senior named Grace Who never a test fears to face; Her cards full of E’s Make the rest of us—sneeze! And she’s always ahead in the race. Miss Rich is sure a fine teacher. In English—there’s no one can heat her; Her class she does rule, And. in fact, the whole school Knows an E on her card’s a great feature. Florence is a name we all do know, You bet there’s “nichts” about her that’s slow; And the whole Senior class Without this dear lass. On the blink (?) would be sun' to go. There’s a “shining star” athlete call Dutch. Vot says, “I luff girls—not much”! He’s bashful and timid But he’s sure the limit In basketball, football, and such. There’s a lanky young Senior called Icabod Who, dressed as a girl, looked extremely odd; Thus,—his photo was taken (Yet don’t be mistaken) ’Twas a secret, (he thought) unsuspected. But his likeness ’twas easy to guess. And at school Tom just had to confess. Then the girls all got busy And nick-named him “Lizzie.” Then he tore it in half—’twas a mess. To Diana Oh, goddess, fairest of the blue domain. Diana, huntress of the forests green! Where art thou hid, who now is never seen ? Aeneas saw thee, we but seek in vain. No more to hunt in forest lane, No more to shoot the deer with arrows keen ; But thou must stand with marble mien. Now turn thy head again, as thou wouldst fain; Oh. goddess fair, why must thou stand so still. A captive, bound by cruel chains of earth, And never to return to thine own haunts? May great Jove’s scepter free thee from this ill; And, hunting in the forests of thy jaunts. May’st thou be seen again in joyful mirth. —E. P„ ’16. LAFF! IT DOESN’T HURT! Coach (after first gym class)—“Did you take a shower bath?” Freshie—“No, sir. is—is—there one missing.” Pheobe E.—“See that man’s picture?” Fat—“Yes, why?” P. E.—“When he came to this country', he came with two bare feet and now he has millions.” Plump German in restaurant—“Vie gehts?” Waiter, writing on pad—“Wheat cakes.” German—“Nein! Nein!” Waiter—“You are in luck if you get three.” Dorothy W.—“How much is this calico a yard?” Blond Clerk in M. M. (fond of kissing)—“A yard for a kiss.” D. W.—“All right, give me ten yards and charge it up to grandma.” Innocent one—“How do they get water in watermelons?” Wise one—“Plant ’em in the spring.” Ask Batch what he knows about the King, Queen and .lack of England. George Crouch—“You remind me of a hinge.” She—“now so?” G. C.—“You are something to adore.” WOMAN’S RIGHTS, 'Ifi. Bob 8 my busted beau—I go To dancin’ school wif him ; Ther’ was some bu’ful mistletoe— An’ Bobhv, he’d jus’ grin. He’s bashful, jus’ as bashful— His face got awfully red ; Poor Bob was ’fraid of kissin’ me. So I kissed him instead. Friend—“Did you know that Margaret has a new baby brother?” Hazel T.—“Oh! Tsn’t that perfectly lovely! Is it a girl or a boy?” FOR GOOD-LOOKING BOYS ONLY! niaauoo oif j|u jo Teacher—“What is your name?” Freshie—• ‘ Jule. ’ ’ Teacher—“You should say Julius.” Turning to another pupil, “What is your name?” Another Freshie—“Billins.” Lois S.—“What did you have for English today?” Hazel T.— (entering sewing class with a frown)—“Oh. bacon, of course.” Miss Chadwick in Senior Eng. (discussing essavs)—“I really don’t know which you can get the most out of. Bacon or Lamb.” Ebba A.—“Oscar, what makes your hands so soft?” Oscar N.—“I wear my gloves to bed with me.” Ebba—“Do you wear your hat. too?” “Fishy, fishy, Nibble, nibble, Catch no fishy, Ish ka bibble.” AT BOZEMAN. IN A HIGH-TONED RESTAURANT. Waiter—“Order, please.” Dutch—“Two white wings, let ’em fly up and down.” Pink—“Draw one in the dark for the prof (Garrison). Crouch—“One slaughter in the pan and let the blood drip.” H. Schlossberg—“Unchain a couple of hounds and a bale of hay.” GOING THROUGH THE COLLEGE AT BOZEMAN. J. Sheedv—“What is that terrible odor?” Farmer—• ‘ Fertilizer. ’ ’ J. S.—“For the land’s sake?” Farmer—“Yes, ma’m.” “How is the new bookkeeper on figures?” “Fine, always runs to the'window when one goes by.” Little boy, Grizzly bear; Horrible growl: Mile from there. Chicken house. Nigger Zeke; Dose of shot: Big blue streak. Little boy, Pair of skates; Hole in ice: Golden gates. We arc informed that to show proper school spirit, one must be delighted in one’s lessons as well as a supporter of athletics. If so. the following scene might occur in the classroom: Pupil (reciting)—“Caesar-er-er bridged the Alps-er-er.” Class—‘ ‘ Come awn. now, come awn! Soak it to ’em Adda boy ! Adda boy! Pretty one! Nice work! Yea-ea? He gotta nother sentence. That’s the way. You got ’em going. Yea-ea! Pupil flunks and sits down. Class—“Aw, punk. Hard luck. Raw deal. None of that. Don’t sit down, you big boob, what’s the matter with you?” We strolled all through the shredded wheat, The grapenuts were in season ; I asked her why she looked so sweet— She answered, “There’s a reason.” DEEP STUFF. A man walking along the street leading his dog met a friend. The friend said, “How’s your dog?” The man answered, “Ido.” (Read twice). WANT A DIAGRAM ? Two boys went fishing. They were on private property. The caretaker of the place came along and said to the boys. “Don’t fish here.” And one of the boys answered, “I don’t know.” (Take your time). HUSH! “Yes,” boasted Mr. Faust. “I’m familiar with every rock known.” “Oh, I don’t know,” rejoined Mr. Garrison, “how about the rock of the cradle t” As the watch went into the pawnshop I heard it sadly groan: “This sure will be a lonesome place, I’m going to be a loan.” Perhaps you will think This is a poem. But it’s just put here To put one over on you. Mary had an x-ray gown, Which might have been the limit; But Mary was so awfully thin, She made no shadow in it. “Aha! There is something crooked about this,” said the famous sleuth as he picked up a pretzel. Berg (trying to be sociable)—“What do you think of the latest Turkish atrocity?” Bacheller—“I don’t know. I roll my own.” “The whole world’s down on me,” murmured Atlas. “How do you know there is a baby in the moon?” “Oh. I saw the sky rocket.” Dutch—“I saw you out riding with Simp the other day. but I could only see one of his arms. Where was the other?” Anne—“Oh. it was around somewhere.” Sterling—“Say, Joe, hear about the big murder?” Joe—“No, what was it?” Sterling—“The paper hanger hung a border.” IT’S FUNNY, BUT Before a building can burn up it has to burn down. “What do you think of a teacher who deceives a pupil?” said Bell to Mr. Keteham. “ Well, said Mr. Keteham, “I think it’s a mighty smart teacher.” Maclay (returning home from school)—“ Drive more carefully, pop. I lost my equilibrium.” Pa—“Wal, I’ll back up and you can get out and look for it.” It use to be “54-40” or fight; now it is “75-80” or flunk. Mother—“Gladys, you stood on the porch quite a while with that young man last night. ” Gladys—“Why, mother, I only stood there for a second.” Mother—“But I’m sure I heard the third and fourth.” Senior—“I want to get some bird seed.” Freshie (clerking in store)—“Don’t try to fool me, smartie, birds grow from eggs, not seeds.” TRAGEDIES IN LIFE. The man sped up to see if he could beat the train to the crossing. He Couldn’t. The man looked down the barrel of his gun, and pulled the trigger, to see if it was empty. It Wasn’t. The man asked the girl to marry him to see if she were engaged. ‘ ‘ Good-night! ’ ’ she wasn’t! ” “Why, Johnny, I do believe you are teaching that parrot to swear.’ “No, I’m not,” Johnnie replied, “I’m just telling it what it mustn’t say.” Oscar N.—Don’t call me Oscar, it makes me wild (Wilde). “Queer, isn’t it?” “What’s queer?” “Whv, the night falls.” “Yes!” “But it doesn’t break—” “No.” “And the day breaks—” “Yes ” “But doesn’t fall.” (Exit bright pupil). Who would not endure even the drudgery of correcting examination papers now and then to encounter such gems as— Anthracite Coal was a poet. Plumage is the foliage of the parrot or hen. A vacuum is nothing, with the air sucked out of it. A college is a cemetery of learning. The tariff—a place of warship. Anticlimax is a brand of chewing tobacco. Autifat and antitoxin are these new cheap breakfast foods. In music—intervals are hesitations between notes. A blizzard is the inside of a chicken. R. D. B. (As Chaucer would see him.) He wolde tell a lie soon as the trouth ; If he might save him from a little swinke, Dim liked nought to use bis brain to thinke; But al the night he l.veth with open ye.

He was a man of wisdom and virtue. TRAGEDY IN CHEMISTRY LAB Ebba went into chemistry, laughing—full of glee. Said Mr. H. to her, says he, “Do experiment twenty-three.” But Ebba got her dates mixed—couldn’t get the blamed stuff fixed. Should have used, so said her mate, “a little bit of nitrate.” Well, she didn’t get it mixed right, but used, instead, S. Nitrate. It formed an awful peroxide, instead of nitric oxide. (A few minutes later). Ebba left her chemistry, sick as-oh, gee; Trafford—“Beg your pardon, Mr. Street Car Motorman, I rang the bell once, but Bell and me both want off.” Motorman—“That’s alright.” Trafford—“Well, which end do we get offt” Motorman—“Either end, both ends stop.” “It’s the little things in this life that tell.” said the girl as she pulled her young brother out from under the sofa.—Ex. OVERHEARD AT THE PROM. The Cuff—“Wilt thou?” The Collar—“I wilt.” IN GERMAN. Mrs. Simes—“What takes the place of English ‘T’ in German?” Voice from the rear of the room—“Beer.” Lansing (meeting Phillips in the park)—“Well, Frank, what are you doing here?” Frank—“Just admiring the beauties of nature.” Lansing—“Aw, I say, have many gone by?” HIGH SCHOOL PUDDING. Take a bunch of nice, green girls, sift six times, add a few teachers, and stir well for forty-five minutes at a time; add to this the •well-beaten contents of a few textbooks, seasoned with a good hard test; then add notebooks at the last minute and serve on a good diploma. She (drawing a large circle with a small circle on top)—“I was given this figure—” He (from the rear of the room)—“Poor thing.” Teacher—“Johnny, what was the first season?” Johnny—“I guess it must have been the Fall back in Eden.” Prof. Hazelrigg—“Swearingen, have you finished playing with that box?” Tom—“Yes, sir. Do you want it?” Johnny—“Say, Pa. what’s a board of education?” Pa—“When I went to school it was a shingle.” Explosion—a good chance to begin at the bottom and work up. Sketch of a Cooking Class Time 11 A. M. Place—Cooking Laboratory. Occasion—A rare one—Section I of the advanced cooking class entertains Section II at a Thanksgiving dinner, with Miss Jellum as guest of honor. SCENE I. (As the scene opens, girls breathlessly enter the laboratory and put on aprons). Few Girls (Chorus)—My, that turkey smells good. Charlotte S.—“Wonder when it’ll be done. I’m hungry enough now to eat a whole turkey.” Dot W.—“What! Haven’t the groceries come yet, Miss Jellum?” Josephine S.—“That’s not unusual though (sighing heavily). But today of (withers) all day!” Hazel T.—“I’d give anything to have a rope around that delivery man’s neck, and if he doesn’t come pretty soon, we can’t serve anything but turkey, toothpicks, and water.” Miss Jellum (calmly)—“I guess some of you girls will have to go over after them.” (Agnes S. and Ida S. rush down four flights of stairs to confront a new delivery boy standing in the middle of the hall gazing wildly at the walls, ceiling and stairs, apparently never in a school building before). SCENE II. Lelia P. (in her cunning way)—“Yes, I think everything’s ready now, but making the coffee, and the white sauce, and the gravy, and the—” Hazel T. (scaring everyone nearly to death)—“Girls, do you know that that green delivery boy didn’t bring a single banana for our salad?” Chorus—“What! !” (Josephine S. and Hazel T. forgetting to remove their aprons, tear down stairs, through the halls, out the main entrance, and across the street to the grocery store). (During the excitement Ida S. slips to the garbage can unobserved, looks about anxiously, and then throws in lump after lump of gummy cake and some burned biscuits). Josephine and Hazel soon reappear in the cooking rooms puffing breathlessly. (Duet) “Just sold the last banana!” Chorus—1 ‘ Oh-h-h-h-h! ’ ’ Lelia P.—“Exit salad!” Gladys P. (excitedly)—“Charlotte, look at that water. It’s almost burned up!” . (A few minutes later a smothered voice is heard. Several girls rush to the pantry). “What is the matter, Josephine?” “Why, the plum conserve is gone and I can’t find the cream anywhere!” (At mention of plum conserve, all look suspiciously at Gladys). “Some one must have been terribly hungry.’ Gladys P—“You needn’t look at me. I’m not starved. But Ida S. didn’t have any supper last night and didn’t get up in time for breakfast this morning. (Heard from the other end of the laboratory)—“Bananas! New delivery boy forgot them.” Miss Jellum (to grocery man)—“Oh, thank you. very much. We ve been having such a time about those bananas. Dot (in an undertone)—“Oh. you darling grocery man. Now. Hazel, hurry with your salad and put plenty of nuts in, won’t you? Hazel (sighs)—“I won’t crack another nut today, my jaws hurt already.” (In the meantime dear Mrs. Robertson discovers the plum conserve in a secret corner of the refrigerator, and after a desperate but fruitful search. Ida 8. is found on the fire escaj e calmly whipping the lost cream and waving to the people below). SCENE III. Guests have been seated and served to soup into which cinnamon has been put instead of pepper, but they don’t know the difference. Girls are preparing second course. Dot (as one of the waitresses)—‘‘Oh. do hurry. Hazel. They’re almost through with their soup, and Miss Jellum’ll have fits. Cut off the neck first, quick—hurry!” Hazel (arms akimbo)—“Well, how can you make me carve a turkey when I never did before in my life, and with a paring knife. (At this Charlotte comes to the rescue with a big butcher knife). Agnes S.—“Where’d you get that? I didn’t think there was such a thing within a block.” Hazel T.—“Oh, thank you Charlotte, you’re a dear. All right, take hold of that wing, please. Charlotte. Already—now. Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for roast turkey, for they shall be filled.” Flop! (Turkey slips off the platter onto the floor, but is quickly rescued by six or eight snickering girls). Hazel—“Now I suppose you call that turkey flop. Huh! My kingdom for a sharp knife! Say, you girls haven’t any serious objection if I put my foot on it to hold it down, have you?” Dot (impatiently)—“No! No! But please hurry. Hazel! (In the meantime the contents of two coffee pots boil over, the gravy scorches, and Lelia upsets the creamed peas, while the guests in the dining room are remarking about the deliciously-flavored turkey and Ida’s grand biscuits). Time—2:15 P. M. (Guests are being served with the last course and the girls of Section I taking a hurried hand out in the kitchen). Gladys—Now. I’m going to fill up on plumb conserve. Mrs. Robertson told Hazel where there’s a whole jar full. Chariot and Dot reciting Chaucer between hurried mouthfuls of creamed peas, potato, turkey, etc. I’ll bet Miss Rich springs a test in Chaucer today. Agnes S.—“I’m glad Thanksgiving only comes once a year.” Chorus—‘ ‘ So—am—I. ’ ’ Hazel (busy with a turkey bone and trying to translate German at the same time)—“Gee, this turkey’s good—I know I’ll flunk Dutch test next period.” Time—2:30 P. M. Closing bell rings. Smoke suddenly clears away. Aprons are doubled up and flung into desks. Drawers slam. Dishes cease to rattle. Miss Jellum (smiling)—“Girls, your dinner was very successful. Everything tasted lovely. Tomorrow we will visit the gas plant.” (Amen!) The Farrarians Sweetly sang the lark upon the bough When Spring had followed in drear Winter’s wake, But Nature searched afar for means to make Some substitute, in which it might endow The lark’s sweet trill and yet the human guise Might it retain, and live to brighten life On earth; to lessen sin and strife, And then ’twas said, “The lark’s fame dies.” For, in its place, the club Farrarian Was formed, and here and there does reproduce The lark’s sweet trill and yet the human guise Each fresh young voice sounds clear as clarion; In unison, cures sorrow and abuse And many and charming are the songs they’ve sung. —M. G., ’16. Perverted Proverbs He that falls in love with himself, finds no rival. (Moral for Soplis). As ye sew so shall ye rip! (Let the Seniors verify). The eagles and the I . S. coins are symbolic of their flight. (Ask the Juniors). Where there’s a will there’s a won’t. (Especially in stubborn Freshies’ heads). Some women’s heads are turned by flattery—some by peroxide. Generally speaking, women are—generally speaking. Twixt optimist and pessimist the difference is droll; The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist, the hole. The world is looking for a man who can do something, not for the man who can “explain” why he didn’t, do it. When two Senior friends part they should lock up each other’s secrets and exchange the keys. Every Frosh, Soph, Junior and Senior should keep a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends. SOME PEOPLE'S IDEA OF HAPPINESS. Mary Kroone . “Dutch” Lansing The Editors .

Who dearly loved the Seniors With thoughts sincere(?) and kind( ?). Its very true, they’ve shown it. Ah—such a class is hard to find. When prom day drew quite near to them, They stood as firm as a brick wall; And ’stead of dropping far behind At once began to call: “Money! Money we must make Or ‘a little short’ we’ll fall.” And so these little Junior folks Got up a marvelous “spree,” Outclassed the Seniors two to one. They sure did go some—(Gee). And they’re the real true lively kids. It’s very plain to me! Ninety-Nine Reasons For Patronizing Our Advertisers 1. They make this annual possible. 2.
