Wyoming.—Lota isn't a dope fiend hut she does like to talk to “Molding” in Chem. Lucky girl, Lota; she had a “Schaal” to protect her from the cold on the night of the Senior wiennie roasi at High School. Rea Byrd. Sheridan.—She’s a musical Byrd all right.

Donald Garbutt. 1 entered tbe damp, dark, chilly cave for what reason I do not know. Perhaps it was curiosity or perhaps fate, that fate which governs the beginning and the end of all things. As I slowly made my way down the damp incline, reaching as it seemed down to the center of the earth. 1 became aware of a small, yellow light flickering in the immeasurable distance. I quickened my step and within a few seconds stood beside the flame. An old man sat beside it slowly stirring the contents of a little black kettle. As T halted near him lie glanced up and spoke: ‘‘1 knew you were coming. T am ready. Sit down, drink the contents of this kettle and see your friends as they will appear in the future years.” T did as I told, seating myself in a large stone chair. T gazed at the old man and then at the fire. The flame flickered a few times and died out, the old man vanished with it. As he did so a mist began to form, and in it 1 could see. dimly at first but growing plainer every minute, the green fields and the hills of Wyoming. In a few minutes I could hear the chugging of a powerful engine, and presently I could see it approach, drawing behind it twelve huge plows. 1’pon the seat sat a short, fat healthy and in all appearances happy man. lie turned his face toward me and to my great surprise I recognized, changed indeed, but nevertheless, the same dear old William Robert Wallace. I had known in my school days. Presently the motor stopped and I saw coming from a large stone house, eleven children and a woman, clad in spotless white. She came as far as the fence and announced in a shrill voice the arrival of the twelfth child. 1 had no time to congratulate R. W.. for the picture vanished as quickly as it had appeared and another one took its place. As this one slowly took form T could hoar the roll of drums, the sharp shout of commands, the shrill bugle call, the crack of rifles and in an instant a beautiful charger with Lieutenant Paul Kendall mounted on its back, came charging across the field followed by six hundred troopers. “There’s not to reason why There’s but to do and die,” 36 THE OCKSHEPER1DA For onward rode J'aul and his six hundred. Again tlie picture fades and again one replaces it presently in my view in rapid succession, now one and now another of my old school mates, until all of the fifty-four have appeared before me. Fota Huttei field. Grace Johnson. Alice Furness, Martha Hedin and Kmma Hose appear in this like pictures or visions, dressed in wedding gowns, signifying no doubt that they have been happily married. Ksther Case has. after trying to make her own living, given it up and married a railroad man. In one picture 1 see Alice Sturdevant dressed in pink silk tights walking a tight wire for Sells Floto circus. In another 1 see William Birchhy. M. S. L. L. I). Ph. I)., a teacher of a large school. Again I see Jay Westbrook seated on his “ Flivver” driving out across the prairie to his home and Fleam.r Jensen, his wife, who has all day been washing overalls for her darling Jay. I see Joe I). Thorn Jr. now grown wealthy. Joe has cultivated his musical talent and is now singing for the “Triangle Arts Motion Picture Corporation.” Mary Edelman has steadily gained popularity in Sheridan, which is now a city of thirty thousand inhabitants and Mary is expecting to run for mayor. As the mist of the coming vision waves back and forth T can preeeive a large crowd—flags, soldiers and a platform in the center of the square. I can see a man rise from a seat and advance towards the front. The crowd cheer and wave their hats as Carl Church, ex-governor and running for the Presidency bows to his fellow countrymen and addresses them. Spontaneously the cloud changes. I see Rea Byrd playing second fiddle in the Chautauqua Orchestra. As she does so 1 follow her envious gaze to the platform where Irene Spain is dancing the “Dance of the Butterflies.” As this vision is replaced I see Walter Becker, handsome as ever though grown stout of late, dressed in a checkered suit, with a daimond stud in his shirt front and a cigar in THE OCKSHEPERIDA 37 liis month, talking to a crowd of citizens. It is election day and Walt is a politician working for John Jensen, who is running for sheriff. Again I see another scene, this one much different from the rest. I see an artist, probably Lelius Zander, Who has developed his talent. I look at his model; it is Gertrude Andress. posed to represent “Maidenly Innocence.” A new vision is now presented before me. I can see Earl Evans, clad in a baseball suit, shaking hands with Tv Cobb. No doubt they are intimate friends. Then Florence Wallace now commercial teacher in Sheridan High. Alma Huttei field. Louise Dahlke and Florence Frazier are now widows receiving pensions. Their husbands have gone to war and have met death fearlessly. I see Arden Godwin, now a wealthy rancher. I see him as he comes from the stable and goes to the milk barn; lu enters, kisses tin inilk maid, tells and old .joke to th‘‘ hired man. laughs at it. gets his “Road Louse” from the garage and staits for town to spend the evening. No. Arden has changed the least of any of tin fifty-four. Again I see a rural scene, a village town I see a white washed picke t fence, on either side a woman stands, evidently discussing something of importance. A voice seeing to ask, “Who is it?” And a voice answers “the village gosijp.” No, Gallic Galloway hasn’t changed much either. As the picture takes a new shape I can hear a beautiful strain of music, coming as it seems from the voice || a bird; 1 look for the source of such music and see in this ploud of many colors. Leta Ridley, now a vocalist. Henry Schaal and Bernice Logan are married; Iltjpie runs a beer garden and “Skinny” sells cigars. I see Max Mil gang selling second-hand shoes, “Ynuse ass gut ass neu.” for ninety-eight cents. Andrew Stager is now a man of influence. He is warden at the state penitentiary. 38 THE OCKSHEPER1DA 1 see Harriet Dana, who for the last fifteen years has been trying to decide whether she will marry Specks or Jerry; but now the question is settled for Specks has died. Ethel Johnson. Hazel Gross, Beatrice Hammond and Mar-ville Gettys are now serving as Red Cross nurses in the war. Mora Johnson has for many years been doing “Thrills” for the films. As the lustre of the cloud forms itself into a new picture. I see Kathryn Craig, two times a widow ami thrice divorced, driving down a Paris Boulevard in a ten thousand dollar Maxwell. Helen Taffner and Gladys Hasbrouek have, after years in the show business, married wealthy men and are now taking life easy. John Kearns “off to war and died a hero.” has willed his fortune to Leora Zander. Grace Johnson. Myra Yager and Bertha Mayland have for many years been buried neath the soil. Charles Gettys is Sheridan’s NEW Y. M. C. A physical instructor. Rae Munford has for many years been ruler of Spain. The visions are now growing faint and I can hardly see Miss Hull, old and gray, but sweet as ever. Sin has long been married and is very happy. The next vision is almost unpreeeivable, so I shall leave this lad’s future to develop as it may. for if I should tell you his future as I saw it, it would bring tears of pity from his friends and the others would shake their heads and say, “I told you so.” THE OCKSHEPERIDA 39 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT. We. the Senior ('hiss of 1016. of the City of Sheridan. County of Sheridan and State of Wyoming, being of exceedingly sound minds and disposing memories, do hen by make, publish and declare this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills, bequests and devices of whatever nature by us made. FIRST. We give, devise and bequeath to our underclassmen. the Juniors, all of the worldly goods which we bought especially for them. SECOND. We hereby appoint said Junior lass, when the Senior Class of 1916 has passed from the portals of knowledge of the Sheridan High School, to take our places as nearly as possible, and to uphold the honor and reputation that we have established in said school. To George Johnson we give this lease on Miss Wilson so that he may rest assured in the future that no one can take her from him. Possession is the nine points of the law. To ( l.vde Kelsey, the songster of the Junior Class, we leave tl is buttle of song restorer. We think that Hollis McBride will appreciate this little I )ov ly. To Leonard Hollister we give this lamb. Owing to the high price of wool, we had to shear him but you can see that it is a lamb all right. To Ralph Goebel we leave this ro m number so that should he ever takes another trip to Miles City or elsewhere, he may put it on the door of his room and thus avoid the embarrassment of undressing in the wrong room. Leonard Spracklen came to a clash with another member of the Junior Class not long ago. and carried a black eye around as the result; to him we leave this book on the “Manly Art of Self Defense.” Mary Blackbourn always has wanted a man. so we give 40 THE OCKSHEPER1DA her this one to have and to hold. As Charles Kane is becoming quite a pool shark, we will give him this cue. This is the string of pearls that Leonard Hollister purchased for Frederica Buell some time ago but she was not allowed to keep them. We hope that she will be permitted to accept them now. To Muriel Brundage we give this net and sincerely hope that in the near future she will be able to land some poor sucker. To Edmund Goebel and Josephine Kerns we give these tickets. We give them these so that should he ever ask her to go to the show again there will be no question where the tickets are to come from. To Joe Maier we give this safety razor so that he can keep that fuzz shaved off his face. lie said tin other day that their eat s tongue didn’t do as good a job as it used to. Hazel Gossett looks so becoming in a basket ball suit so we give her this pair of bloomers. To Helen Collins we give this “Butter Nut ’’ Gerald Dunran’s rival has a car. so we give this Ford so he can run some kind of competition. To Hazel Brown, the Big Noise of the Juniors, we give this rattle. To Rolla Camplin we leave this iron band to prevent further swelling of the head. As Archie Ewoldson is considered the Beckton dude, we leave him this cane. Whoever saw a dude without a cane? Alfred Dunning is always mooching cigarettes so we give him this package of Fat's, to last him until he can buy some. Pierre La Fleiche seems wholly lacking in class spirit so we leave him this bottle of spirits. We hope that it will put some life into him. To Helen Doyle we leave this skeleton key to aid her in THE OCKSHEPER1DA 41 fretting out a little more often. To Dorothea Donahue we leave this pair of scissors so she may cut Samson’s hair and thus he able handle him. We think that he will appreciate the hair cut as lie would have to pay fifty cents for one now. To Harry Jacobs we leave this pair of gloves so he can talk in the winter time without freezing his hands. To Norris Lamb we leave this book of instruction, “How to Become a Real Cowboy.” Margaret Reed is always pouting around so to her we leave this package of SMILES. Walter Russell receives this gun so he will not have so much trouble in keeping the squirrels away. To Cecil Snow we leave this little tin soldier. We give this Hot Air Meter to Guy Sturgeon. Nuff Sed. William Walling is likely to run out of big words some of these days so to him we give this Dictionary to use in case of an emergency. Myrtle White is so small so we think that she will appreciate this bottle of Ketchup. To the remainder of the Junior boys we give these Iron Crosses. As Miss Cooper has been class teacher for the Juniors this last half year we give this package of Rest Tablets with directions to take one every three months. To Miss Wells we leave this deck of Old Maid with hopes that she will NOT need it. Miss Persinger is so Domesticated. s we give her this little Tea Set. To Mr. Hawkes this Current Opinion. To Mr. Pound this bottle of Liquid Blushes. To Mr. Little this Pink Book. What is it? Signed, sealed, published and declared by the Senior Class of 1916. THE OCKSHERIDA 43 THE EXPERIENCE OF A POLITICIAN RUNNING FOR THE PENITENTIARY. '■ j , � I ’ I (Paul’s Future as Related by Ilimself.) I have often been asked by my supporters to give the public an outline of my experiences both prior and subsequent to my election to this dishonorable body. The preliminaries pertaining to the success of my campaign towards membership of this assembly, were few and quickly dispensed with. 1 did not announce my candidacy openly but paid my fee to various barkeepers in order that my victims might more easily be instructed in tin mysteries of the underworld than when under tin influence of straight whiskey only. I did not do as some, spend more money than allowed and forget to make a statement of it. instead I persuaded several pompus individuals to donate to me all their personal property unawares. These gentlemen eager to respect the majesty of the law filed a statement of their expenses with the chief of Police and the County Attorney. Which officers ever desirous of getting more than their salary did send out various animals that are adept in seeking out easy money. All this activity resulted in my nomination, although it was bitterly contested both by my lawyer, whom 1 engaged to see that there was no fraud in the voting, and by myself. Nothing the opposition to my minor victory I decided to make the most of things before the election. As I was running for a very important office I was required to put up a bond of $2,000. I engaged lawyers, bought votes and even succeeded in getting the polling places moved to another county that my opponent might have a harder time in proving my unworthiness to run at large. At last the great day arrived and the good men and true wore assembled facing me. Then the ch ef lobbyist for the states rights party got busy and he certauily accomplished results. In the meantime my own henchmen contradicted him and objected to his language. They harangued the judges and voters in a wonderful manner. They pointed out my experiences for this position, how I had once before served a four year term in Rawlins for this same reason and that even now so great was my notoriety that the Governor of a neighboring state desired my presence in his institution which corresponded to the one which I was now running for. Consequently when it came time to vote 1 was 44 THE OCKSHEPERIDA quite cheerful and was busily engaged in planning my next campaign in case I was defeated this time. Well. I was elected by a unanimous vote, tin representatives of the people never leaving their seats to give the verdict. I received six years, two more than before as a reward for continued service and my compensation was to be bread and water three times a day with hard labor in between. Not bad for a second termer although 1 hope to get it raised before I leave. I was joyously welcomed by the Sergeant-at-Arms and bv many old companions, who had returned before me or who, due to their excitable temper and some other fellow’s personality, were given a life sentence by the good people of the state. THE ADVENTURES OF P C. DOVESKI On the morning our story opens. I'. ('. Doveski stood on the doorstep of his humble cottage and looked about him with a happy smile. He looked toward the mountains that mark the boundary between his beloved country and Russia, the great undaunted, and toward the left where stretched the foot hills, rugged and peace-loving as the man who gazed upon them. The sun was high for it was noon in this little obscure Austrian village, but tin streets were full of unusual activity. Groups of typical peasants gathered here and there, one by one joining the long procession, straggling toward the village church. Calmly regarding the festive preparations going on about him, Doveski felt that comfortable sensation that lie was somebody, and tin uncomfortable sensation of a bride groom to be. The far famed Doveski. tin Peaceful, was to be tangled in the throes of matrimony on this day and in one hour by tin conspicuous sun dial in the square. .Miss Olive Twig was tin prospective bride, and represented to her lover all that lacked to make his life tranquil. Alas for Doveski and peace mottos, for .Miss Olive’s sisters and brothers could have recited a list of her virtues that would have shattered his love-in-a-cottagc dream and stood his hair on end. But we must back to the story. The wedding progressed as most weddings do. and the little church was over-flowing. THE OCKSHEPERIDA 45 The priest stood with his arms uplifted, his benediction plow-inf; from his kind face even before the words were spoken. The bride groom looked about as all bride grooms do. enduring. but the bride’s face was a picture of benign “peace on earth good will to mankind” and her glance included Dove-ski then. Through the doorway we had been drawing tin above conclusions, when someone without ceremony rushed by us. into the church and shouted the one word. WAIT The prosaic wedding party turned bedlum. Questions and explanations were confuesedly hurled through the air. and one thing stands clearly in my mind, the priest who had forgotten to lower his hand stood as a statue in the chaos of excitement. Above the pandemonium I heard a loud call for the bride groom, but he had GONE. “Gone,” described this almost bridegroom for he had disappeared as from the face of the earth. Austria had declared war on Servia and her loyal citizens turned out by the thousands, but one able soldier was missing; Doveski loved peace and where peace was not. there also was not Doveski. Chapter 2. One shadowy evening my friend and I had decided to linger in a beautiful suburb of Berlin. We were enjoying the (piict and restfulness of the twilight, when we were attracted by. a whistle in the woods. A man stepped out into the road and we stopped to talk with the stranger. He looked familiar, but upon being question, lie told us that he was a subject of the Kaiser. We spoke of the war and immediately his face became distorted with hate, disgust and fear. “If you gentlemen will kindly refrain from any mention of a subject of that unspeakable, that. that.— ” he stuttered in his effort to convince us of his distaste for disagreement. “I am an advocate of peace gentlemen, an advocate of PEACE! Why I am the great Doveski; I—” he stopped, but in that instant we recognized our Austrian friend. As he spoke we distinguished a group of horsemen coming down the road at a rapid pace. They wore bright uniforms, and as they approached we know that they brought news, and one, shouting through a trumpet told us that Germany was mobilizing her troops, and that tin Kaiser demanded the presence of all able bodied men in Berlin. When the soldiers rode on and the dust settled we looked at the spot where our friend had stood. 'Twas a lonely spot, for our friend had seemingly evaporated. 46 THE OCKSHEPERIDA Chapter 3. Later, while in England, we wen preparing to finish onr tour with a short visit to Italy. My friend and I had not been frightened like most tourists, into returning to America. We decided to take a boat and cross the river, to enjoy a quiet picnic before we sailed for the South. The afternoon was hot and when we reached the river banks we hoarded a one man ferry. Naturally we were interested in our pilot, and I believed him to be our friend of Austria and again of Germany. Our conversation drifted to the war and we were soon in a hot dispute, over the possibility of England’s neutrality. Each had an “I'naerv” opinion of the other’s knowledge of diplomatic affairs. The dispute merged into a quarrel and we were both angry. I looked up and met the scowling gaze of our pilot. “Gentlemen I must ask you to leave this boat,” he said. ‘‘Leave the boat,” we cried in unison. “Why we are in the middle of the Thames, and have no desire whatever to be at the bottom of it.” “I must have peace at any price,” he shouted, ‘even if I must drown you both. I WILL have it — ” he waved his arms frantically. “Do you believe in preparedness, mv good fellow.” began my friend in a dangerous tone of voice. lie removed his coat and rolled his shirt sleeves shoulderward; “if not. do not force our diplomatic relations to he severed.” He took a step forward, “for I am a progressive voter and—” Hut at this point our peace pilot turned and fled down deck with all possible speed, grabbed the wheel and headed us at a furious speed toward the shore. As we left the boat a small boy came running along the wharf, crying “EXTRA.” 1 bought a paper and one for our friend the pilot, who was hurriedly preparing to return without us. The headlines stood boldly forth: ‘ENGLAND'S WAR PROCLAMATION.” Our peaceful Austro-German-English ferryman turned ghastly pale.

The next day we left England and headed for the tranquil THE OCKSHEPERIDA 47 South. We landed at the small port in southern Italy. At least here tin sun shown on peace. We walked along a quiet street in a quiet town, passing undisturbed citizens on their peaceful crands. After several weeks of pleasant sojourn we were about to leave for home when we bumped into our friend on the wharf. People were in the greatest confusion for Italy was about to sever her diplomatic relations with Austria, but we pushed •miselves through the crowd. “Good evening Doveski,” I began, “are you traveling again T” “Certainly sir. he chopped out, I'm traveling. I learned four languages, and have heard nothing but war talk. 1 am now going to a heathen country where they don’t believe in Christian wars. Excuse me gentlemen this is my boat. and then with sarcasm born of desperation “may I be spared a torpedo on the gang plank; goodbye.” We heard nothing more of our friend for months, and down on our Texas ranch we were wondering what had become of Doveski. when Japan launched her battleships. Chapter 5. “Well Pete. my partner cleared his voice, “we need men pretty bad—the ranch is going to pieces, can’t you suggest something ?” “Of course I can suggest something. I answered, “we might hire that floating peace advocate if he were here.” “Your “ifs are a bit trying.” he scowled, “if we could get men we wouldn’t need any. “But see here Pard. you needn’t blow up at a mere suggestion.” “Well to waste pervious time, like—well just like every thing wasn’t on the verge of ruin And I tell you that where business is concerned I never saw a worse---.” He was growing angry from an over dose of nerves. “You--------’ ‘heavens name!

I’m through.” “Well, never mind, you're sure welcome at this joint. We need men and if you want a job, you can begin tomorrow.” It was late when we all got to bed. I had introduced Doveski to all the men, and he was enthusiastic about life 48 THE OCKSHEPERIDA on tin groat plains. Hut at midnight we were awakened by a shout of ‘‘Villa” and hastened out to find the place stormed by that vidian and his band. I rushed to our friend’s bed; lie was not in it nor under it.

THE OCKSHEPERIDA 49 THE TWENTY-THIRD OF AUGUST ‘‘I have found few places in Wyoming which are more desolate and dreary than the Old Johnson Iine.’ began Davis, who had droped in for a visit at our summer camp. “There are many odd stories ef the twenty-third of August. The old cattleman, who was always ready with a story about our surroundings, paused at this point to roll a cigarette before continuing. “When one hears the date, the twenty-third of August, it doesn't sound different from any other, and to the world in general it is .just an ordinary day, but at the old mine it is a day of days, or rather the night of all nights. For on that night, it is said, the scenes that the old ruins try to forget are reenacted. The bandits who made the place their headquarters return and live again during that night. The old tights are refought. The old games with stakes of stolen money and heavy bags of gold are lost and won; and all night long Old Johnson, the bandit chief, sits beside a fire before his little square e abin. guarding and waiting for dawn and staring tensely i nte the lurking shadows .just as he el id on that last night thirty years ago, when, at the cl se e� f tin Cattle War. the rangemen st irmeel this last stronghold e t outlawry anel the long, peaceful silence se ttle d over the olel camp.” After finishing his story the edel cattleman reise to return to his cabin. Mv companions, Carl Church. “Soupie Stewart, and I were much impressed by the old man’s story. Me ha«l spent some time at I’iney and during our stay we had heard much about the old mine. We sat until a ate hour that night disi ussing the many stories we had heard about the place. We thought that it would be interesting tee visit the place which had been the origin e� f se many oelel tales, lo aelel to the interest of the trip. we eleciele el to spend both the day and night of the twenty-third, which was then e nly two days elistaiit. at the olel mine. In the half light of the early morning, on the twenty-jteiond, we started up the Red Trail, which had its beginning about a mile from our summer ce ttage. Our ponies settled down te a steady trail pace, after they had labored with heaving shoulders up the first foothills anel then ploddeel on over sharp ridges, through ravines, and along the e elgc e f the canyon wall. We had much trouble after leaving the main 50 THE OCKSHEPERIDA trail in following the path which had heroine dim and was in places, almost obliterated because of disuse. Finally the faint marking faded away entirely. Turning sharply toward the higher ground, we clambered up a steep ridge, thickly covered with boulders and greasewood, and followed the wavering course of the rim-rock for about a mile. Then by good fortune we came upon the gap which opens down into the canyon at a most disheartening pitch. Here the trail was again visible . Worn deep by the weather, it zig-zagged back and forth as it proceeded on its way down the face of the mountain. Following this trail we at length reached tin base of the mountain, and. having traversed a thicket of huge pines, we came, as the sun was setting, into the little glade within which tin cabins of the old camp are clustered, seeming to huddle together and to shrink from tin shade of the s mber trees. Vet. knowing the dark name of the place, we felt more in sympathy with the natural forest shade than with tin weird intangible spirit of mystery which pervaded the old ruins. As my companions and I passed through the arch of two mammoth pines and out into tin little park. T must confess that a feeling of loneliness came over me. I believe that my friends felt much as I did. for we all started p. rceptibly when a porcupine darted from the shadows at our feet. We camped beside a litth wash, which came trickling down ti e mountain side from an icy spring far above. We saw nothing unnatural that first night and slept peacefully save for the intrusions of certain small animals. Wc spent the next day, the twenty-third of August, in examining and ph: tographing the old mm. . We counted tli ■ mins of eight cabins in the little park, which is situated in one of the most inaccessible places in South l’iney canyon. Only a few of the cabins remained standing and in all the sod roofs had fallen. The shaft house tottered in the last stages of decay and the shaft was filled with water fr in a spting which had started at the bottom, in the largest cabin, which had evidently been a sleeping quarters, we found a l eap of rather large bones, which one of my friends thought to lie part of a human skeleton, but I cannot say as to that. It seems also that the rather suspicious looking mound in one corner may well have been formed of dirt fallen from tin roof. The old amp had. on the whole, a rather desolate and dreary appearance even in the bright light of day; but as the THE OCKSHEPERIDA 51 afternoon wore away and the shadows began one more to deepen around the forsaken mine, the place assumed an aspect which was almost unearthly. The flickering shadows wavered over the old ruins, giving each little noon the appearance of concealing the form of some departed shade. A cold wind that wistled lonsomelv and swished around the giant pines had sprung up at sunset. After eating our evening meal, we lighted our pipes and sat down beside our fire to await whatever might take place. At about nine o’clock a disturbance broke out among our ponies, who had seemed ill at ease all evening. I he three which were loose dashed past the camp, while tin other two strained at their pickets. The cause of their fright seemed to bo something near a little square cabin which was somewhat to the right of our camp. After tying all the ponies we went over and examined the cabin carefully but found nothing. We sat for hours after that hearing only the occasional howl of a coyote through the murky darkness. As we sat there we must have fallen asleep, for I remembered waking with a start thrilled with a sense of imminent danger. All was dark about us. but a flickering glow attracted my attention to a little fin which burned dully in front of the little square cabin. Seated beside it was a tall, dark man. lie was leaning toward the fire and was at that moment lighting his pipe with a pitch splinter. Kvery detail of his appearance, as far as the flickering tin light revealed was so vividly impressed upon my mind that I can recall it exactly even at the present hour, lie wore a large, grey felt hat of the kind so common among the range-riders of fifty years ago, a canvas mackinaw and corduroy trousers tucked into leather riding boots. It is a curious fact that the extreme of terror and alarm caused by so unnatural a phenomenon affects different people in various ways. As soon as we had become aware of the apparition’s presence, and we seemed to have awakened at the same instant. Stewart, the former president of the class of '14. was seen tearing off up the mountain at a wonderful speed. My friend, Carl, was under the bed roll in an instant, and buried himself, piling pack saddles and other camp implements above him. As soon as the present writer had gathered his faculties, he dashed across tin clearing and was soon well np toward the peak of a huge pine tree As we looked back from our various havens of refuge, we saw that our spectral visitor had risen from his former posi- 52 THE OCKSHEPERIDA lion and was looking from 011c to thi other of ns with a look of mingl d wonder and amazement. Now the apparition opened his lips and actually shouted at us. “Sav, what is the matter with you fellows?” he called. “Are you crazy or just locoed?” Now as we looked more closely at the disrespectful ghost, we seemed to sc? something familiar about his tall figure and. when his coat was presently blown back and a forestry shield, which gleamed in the fire light, revealed, we knew that our ghost had flashed in the pan. The man was .loin s, the fort st guard. When we had returned to camp in a rather sheepish manner. our visitor explained that lie had attempted on the day before to make a short cut on foot from the Sheep Lake reserve to his cabin in Penrose Park. He had been delayed by down timber on the divide until long after dark and when he had attempted to cross South Piney bv jumping from one boulder to another, he had slipped into a deep pool and so. being wet and tired, he had decided to camp for the night at the old mine and had arrived just in time to pass for the ghost of the bandit chief. So it was that on the three of us in common, fell the big practical joke of the story of the twenty-third of August. —GEO. F.

Jr.. ’13. The fall of nineteen-ten was tin first time Sheridan High experieneed real Foot Ball. “The Game was first started in 'OS under a guidanceship of Newton Ben Knapp, l-or two weeks the hoys worked hard trying to learn something of the game, new to them, under the direetion of Professor Knapp, a star in Nebraska foot hall eireles. But an early winter drove the hoys inside to basket hall. In the tall of 0! a new interest was taken and nearly a full season was put in at hard work. “Pat” Murphy took charge and drilled considerable foot hall into the heads of the hoys. But the season came to a sad end for the only game scheduled was cancelled after the hills were put out. But the start was made. The fall of ’10 found Sheridan High in a real foot hall fervor. New material was found in tin school, Pat Murphy was really interested, as well as Chaplin Axton and Lieut. Hayes of the Fort, were working with us. and Principal Ilawkes had two HEAL games scheduled. The men mentioned above put the boys through lots of hard work down on “Hell’s Half Acre,’ which was chiefly sunflower stubble at the time. On October fifteenth Sheridan saw her first foot hall game with a visiting team. And a victory, too. Poor old Billings was off to a had start with Sheridan. The return game resulted in a defeat for Sheridan, hut what of that, it was our first real year and Billings was not to lead us again for three years. The game planned for Thanksgiving did not materialize and a make-shift was played with a bunch of young men of the town under tin title of the Independents. 1 bus closed the first season of foot hall for Sheridan High. May she never leave the only real game for High sehool and college man. Following foot hall, basket hall opened up but it seemed a dead game after the new game the school had tasted. Billings and Buffalo wen both able to defeat us at this game. Ibis was probahlv dm to the lack of practice and interest, but il is true that both of our competitors had unusually strong teams that year. Basket ball is a good game and should be retained in Sheridan High, especially on account of the long winters when outside athletics are impossible. Pin only 60 THE OCKSHEPERIDA trouble with it is tin finding of a proper place to play the game. Spring name at last and with it track and base ball.

Hut the track went on steadily under the able direction of ( arroll I horn, a spinster of renown in the now almost Ancient History of the school. A hard year was put in. tin weather was bad and tin track worse. Hut in the end several of the boys were rewarded by a trip to the State Meet at Laramie. Here we met snow storms, high winds and light air. I tut with the next to the smallest team on the field we were able to take fourth place and make a reputation for Sheridan, as ‘•game fighters.” the school was content. Nineteen hundred ten and eleven was surely a changing of tin winds for Sheridan. A foot ball team was started that was to become the champions of the northwest for two consecutive years; basket ball was slowing down at the tape, having run a good race but almost dead; track was becoming strong, but doomed, due to the hn k of competition 62 THE OCKSHEPERIDA Go to the Sanitary Grocery For Service and Quality The Only Sanitary Grocery in Sheridan Palmer Fleischer Fishing and Vacation Go Hand In Hand For Service and Luck use our First Quality Fishing Tackle Jouvenat Hardware Company For National Mazda Lamps, Batteries, Wiring, Electrical Supplies of all Kinds Call 203w, opposite post office Crescent Electric Company Formerly Pioneer Electric Supply Co.

By Doan Edward AT. Cross. “Twentieth Century Vision.” Dean Cross briefly prefaced his sermon by saving that Education and Religion always go hand in hand and that before any great objective is reached it must be through tin association of Religion and Education. Uis sermon was an appeal for a wider outlook and a participation in the solution of the world problems. In a brief introduction he graphically pictured the part that modern inventions. as the wireless telegraph, wireless telephony, railroads and steamships, played in the closer association of humanity. Ilf showed how the Panama-Pacific Exposition was a great illustration of the unification of w rid forces and the growing complexity through the association of world problems. It was the purpose of the architects f the fair grounds, he said, to demonstrate in every way tlie essential unit of humanity and to show the problems thus arising were to be solved. Buildings, seulpturings, mosaics ami paintings were all designed to show the growing spiritual and physical oneness of man. He showed how the coining togctln r of the waters of the Pacific and the Atlantic in the Panama Canal is a good illustration of the association of hitherto -operated forces. lie said that the association of all foreign elements and races of mankind is necessary in order to have the greatest amount of world progress. Tn every nation tin individual has a two-fold relation to the whole. On one hand he increases its problems and hopes for tin solution of his own. but on the other hand he has it in his power to greatly assist in the solution of the problems of the others. The Dean then showed how all this applied to our own community and ot the people in it. lie said that it was impossible for us to separate ourselves from the world and its problems. The expression of life, the speaker said, is that which is indifferent to that whole of which it is a part. In speaking a few words to the class at the close of the sermon, the Dean said, that the solution to all troubles and problems lies in the character, (fod. he said, put us on earth to develop the best possible characters and if this is not done 66 THE OCKSHEPERIDA THE SHERIDAN POST The Leading Newspaper of Northern Wyoming Republican in Politics-=and with nerve enough to print the opinions which it holds concerning public affairs Take It and Keep Abreast of The Times THE OCKSHEPERIDA 67 life is hut a waste and the person serves but to encumber the progress of man. Dean Cross closed his sermon by expressing the hope that not a single graduate present that evening would know hapiness until he had contributed something to this great end in life. VM. II.

PATRONIZE THOSE WHO ADVERTISE. THE OCKSHEPERIDA 89 JUNIOR ESCAPADES I 'a 111 Kendall. All Juniors must have been horn in Mareh. for they eanie in like lions and went out like lambs. The first of flu year saw them brimming over with self confidence and eoneeit. They had stocked their school calender so full of minor events that there was no room in the Inn for the more serious problems of life. When the football days were over and the students bad gone back to their normal mode of living, the Juniors, ever anxious to be in the limelight, planned a show which would have the Ritigling Brothers along with the Senior Class Play hacked off the map. However, due to the disappearance of their class teacher and to the skepticism of outsiders this Carnival failed to materialize. As is natural to such stellar temperaments this disaster, or good fortune, caused a crash. It seemed as if the chords of communication between the elements of reason and action had broken in the machine which the Juniors vainly endeavored to make think. In other words they ran amuck. The school police headed by the chief, promptly came into action and even the senior reserves stood ready on their arms. The authorities of law and order patriotically following Grant’s example at Appomattox, of demanding unconditional surrender, backed as they were by the inexhaustible resources of the Senior class finally conquered. Tin rebellious children were brought hack under the protecting wing of their elders. From this time on the warriors, following the custom of the Indians after a defeat, became “squawmen,” and the women of the tribe ran the government. In order to gain a reputation, as they bad none to save, a more mild program was adopted for tin rest of the year. As they had discovered that they were unwise to the ways of the cruel wot Id it was res dved by the governing powers to give night lessons in the manly art of saving your face to any and all thar cared to partake. A special date was set, upon which all persons under military age were invited to attend and witness the great tragedy called “Failure.” However, lest 1 be deemed too harsh by my gentle readers I will say that the play passed all expectations. It was SO REAL. Now satisfied that they were not able to buck up against tin waves of adverse fortune. and as the other members of S. II. S were not possessed with the patience of Job the Juniors were obliged to absolve themselves from their evil practices.

This was quickly squelched by the fair sex and all remained quiet on the campus the night when the Seniors put up their colors. As the year was nearly thru and also due to the fact that tin Juniors needed friends they resolved to “feed the graduates. This they did in a very creditable manner at the Western Hotel, and these charming hosts did much to make tin Seniors overlook their many failings. The last event was the Junior NOISE at the Senior class play. In this at last they fully maintained the reputation of the Junior Class, and we the Seniors do hereby resolve that if ever again it be our misfortune to become acquainted with a .Junior, nearly related to us or otherwise, that we will not “spare tin rod and spoil the child.” 92 THE OCKSHEPERIDA A STORY IN RHYME I have a little story to whisper in your ear Tis the funniest little story that ever you 1 i« 1 hear.
