This Book is the Property of PAGE TWO To Mayranda Evjen For two years our Class Teacher “The Class of T8” Respectfully Dedicate This Book PAGE THREE JMutto: “llbique Jatriam ittnuinisri” ah? (®rkah?p?rt a VOLUME X NUMBER THIRTEEN Published by the Students of Sheridan High School SHERIDAN, WYOMING Foreword The Ocksheperida, “Camp Crier” of Sheridan High School is completing its tenth year. Each year it has been bigger and better than in preceding years, and the staff feels that in presenting the school with this issue we have in nowise fallen behind pevious standards. Here is your book; read it; keep it, but do not criticise it unkindly till you have edited a better. There must necessarily be many faults in a book of this kind, yet thru the censorship of Miss Van Bos-kirk, we feel they have been kept to a minimum. We hope that we have portrayed in this book the spirit of Sheridan High and the largest class graduated from it, the Class of 18. HOW THE AVERAGE STUDENT READS HIS ANNUAL First Five Minutes Looks for himself in his class group and the various organizations to which he belongs and finds his name wherever he is a club or committee member. This is the most enjoyable part of the inspection, and if he has time he lingers a little over the picture that shows him off to the best advantage. Second Five Minutes Ditto for his girl's name and pictures; he decides the latter do not do her justice. Third Five Minutes Hunts up every roast, rhyme, or snap shot of his “case and himself. Last Five Minutes Makes sure of all these things; then closes the book forever, and explains to his friends that the annual isn't as good as it should be for the price. HOW THE ANNUAL SHOULD BE READ Sit down when you have plenty of time and read it from cover to cover, like a good novel, romance or story, noticing the binding, the outline, the general scheme and effect. Then read the write-ups of various organizations. Don't shun the literary works; they are put in for you to read. Give the Jokes and Kodak pages half a chance at your humor and chances are a hundred to one you'll laugh. Read the annual over a second time, in your spare moments, and become familiar with it. Keep it as a souvenir of your school days. Classes of the future, a’so, keep your aim as high, and improve your book as much as you can. PAGE SEVEN J. J EARLY, Superintendent of Schools PAGE EIGHT J.

PAGE TH1RTEFN Seniors’ Farewell to Their Pedagogues If we take time to think it is with more or less fear that we start out in this great limitless universe without the guiding hands of those who have for the past four years, being always mindful of our welfare, kept us on the straight and narrow path. We now have to choose our own paths in life, and though they extend through the fifty seven varieties all of us can look back and remember the path that led us to securing our first goal, the S. H. S. Diploma. We depart from this institution of learning, doubtful as to what sort of an impression we have left upon those who are coming up the path under the guidance of our past instructors, and perhaps needless to say these instructors are doubtful as to the impression their efforts have made upon us. Certainly, the achievements of the Class of ’18 in the past four years will make it worthy of remembrance, and let these achievements offset the impression gained on the morning of May 8th. One of our instructors called it an exhibition of mob violence, but we do not wish to have our class remembered as a “mob,” although it is the largest class ever graduated. Neither the Seniors nor the Juniors were totally to blame. It was just a misunderstanding. In a way, however, it was educational, as many received first hand knowledge of the strength of a mob. and will more easily understanding the strikes and mobs of Watt Tyler, which they are obliged to study before graduating. The misunderstanding was the annual question of the color scrap. We thought it had been settled last year, but apparently not. But let it be known for this year and on-coming years that Sennors are allowed the privilege of graduating under their own colors. We hope that we have firmly established this custom which will eliminate the annual worry of the faculty, and that future classes will abide by this sage advice of their teachers. A fond farewell!

Harold Luce Marvel Schwab and Laurence Gillespie PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN Class Prcphecy Having been a traveler in foreign lands for many years, I was suddenly seized with a great desire to return to my native land, America. As the wealthy traveler, Mr. Weary foot, I would be received in any home, but being desirous of adventure, and of seeing life as it really is, without the golden halo, I decided to return as a hobo, poor and homeless, knowing then that the kindness bestowed upon me was of the heart and not of the purse. Yes, I would seek out my old schoolmates and amuse myself at least. Disguised as a “bo,” I shambled aboard the steamer “Redwing” at Liverpool, bound for New York Harbor, U. S. A. One of the crew espied me hiding in the steerage and I was ordered before the Captain to give account. To my surprise, dear old Mike Bronson was none other than the Captain himself. As usual, Mike debated the question and after swapping a few lies, it was settled. 1 should work my passage over as I might retard the progress of the ship if I was thrown overboard. The same kind-hearted Mike! Among the passengers was Countess Voliviskisskisski, none other that Hazel Taylor, going home to visit papa and mamma. Papa’s Big Horn Mountain Diamonds purchased Hazel a count, a mummified little thing, but a seventh cousin to the king. Mabel Johnson, now Madame Oriole, the great prima donna, amused us of an evening by singing in silvery discords. Ruth Downer, who had been studying violin in Paris, was also returning home. She had been playing Caruso’s accompaniments in the king’s court. In a sunny corner of the deck sat the inveterate spinster, hand-box. bird-cage and all. Occasionally, she wistfully examined the contents of a little box tied with forget-me-nots and blue ribbon. I discovered it held gent’s coat buttons of various sizes and color, and locks of hair and bits of neckties. I ran like mad and disappeared down the gangway, as the few precious buttons I had, I needed badly. Kathryn Musser, unchanged! A portly gentleman in silk hat slapped Captain Bronson familiarly on the back. M. L. Cone, Esq., retired manager of the Penny Arcade. Tackletat, Missouri! As I landed in New York harbor, a blast of hot air struck me forcibly and almost took my breath away. Upon inquiry, I found that my old friend, Harry Kay, had just been admitted to the bar and was making his maiden speech this very moment in San Francisco. To rest myself a bit, I took a stroll around New' York City. My attention was attracted to a sky-scraper of enormous proportions just being erected. A card was pinned to the twenty-sixth story which read “Angle Buffum, Contractors. PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT Dietz, Wyo.” I fainted away. When I came to, I was in a Hospital, and Dr. George Williams, the celebrated specialist, was saying, “a weak heart, caused by playing too much football early in life—I know the symptoms. He left and the sweetest little Red Cross nurse I ever saw took his place at my bedside, and as 1 gazed caressingly upon her, I recognized Lillian Teague. I spent part of one day at the zoo and saw many curious animals, but what most attracted my attention was a bald, spectacled, unique-looking professor of some kind of bugology, studying a lizard. Philip Garbutt was more dignified and scholarly than in the days of yore. A maid with a number of children, amused themselves feeding the elephants. Little Viola Zander, I would know you anywhere. And I learned later that Catherine Walling had founded a home for orphans close by and all these children were hers now. A very “swell” coupe glided past me and in it I recognized Viola Reynolds, advance agent for Baboon Worm Exterminator. T. Shores and his wonderful trained Flea Circus was oue of the rarities of the Zoo. Beinre anxious to reach the West, I moved on to Chicago, and the first thing that attracted my attention was a wild west show, featuring real Western attractions picked up from the wilds of Wyoming. A large placard announced Helen, lady pugilist—a real live Sam son.” Marie Dewey featured as the snake-charmer—with resistless powers—is holding the attention of Briggs, the funniest clown, in spite of the gracefulness of the trapeze performer, Margaret Murphy. But what excited me most was the wild man who dashed madly around the arena on a bucking bronc with lasso rope and spurs in evidence, emitting one bloodcurdling yell after another. Twas Lester Wood. Ph.D., L.L.D.. of the Sheri dan Faculty, taking his summer vacation. Another very amusing sight was Horace Taylor, impersonating a monkey. Next day, while strolling along the boulevard. I was attracted by a handsome bungalow—suddenly a neat little woman appeared carrying a cunning poodle, whom she lovingly called “Scrubby.” Frieda is an ideal housekeeper, they say. At the corner of Madison and Monroe, stands a large boarding house. In fear. I hid as a stout middle-aged landlady appeared w-aving a rolling pin and gesticulating madly at a hen-pecked Alexander, who forgot to clean his feet on the doormats. “Marie Chabo!” I exclaimed under my breath, clutching wilding at nothing 1 awoke to find myself at the Salvation Army Headquarters with Captain Graeme Baker in charge. Being interested. 1 followed and stood on the street corner watching Winifred Stevens beat the drum and Pearl Salisbury play the tambourine, while Esther Brockway sang a hymn. Something seemed to call me westward, and again the train was carrying me toward my old home. In Omaha I made a brief stay and passim? along a business PAGE TWENTY-NINE section, was pleased to learn of some of my friends in the business world: A sign on one of the neat shop windows read: “Madame Iina Nutt, Beauty Specialist and Manicurist. Nails either square, pointed or chewed.” I recognized the familiar features of Elna Husinan. A large placard read: Dancing Academy—Dog Trot and Loping a -Specialty. Professor Laurence Gillespie. Assisted by Vesta Maxwell and Lillian Schneider. Other signs went something like this: Kackley Sisters: Inventors and sole agents for exterminator, known as Dandelion Shooter. Directions—‘Place chew of gum in the gun. point at the dandelion, close the eyes and pull the trigger. You will awake to find the dandelion as fresh as eyer!’” Ferris Match Factory. Matches guaranteed to last while they burn. One match has been known to have burned gracefully for a year. Orders taken early to avoid conflagration. But the sign which had great weight with me was this: “Fly Away Oil Co. Oil and Fields in Famous Bird Creek Valley of Wyo., upon which they now have 25 wells producing 30,000 bbls. daily. Price $10, or 1 eagle per share. Edith Munford. owner and sole agent. 41 Feather Street.” Lytha Perry's Cash and Carry 10c Store.” “Juanita's Matrimonial Bureau. Happiness guaranteed.” “Madame Gertrude, Clairvoyant. ‘Many may be clever, but Gertrude is a Sharp.’ Can answer any question Correctly.” Again I was on the train speeding across the prairies of Western Nebraska, and from the car window I saw Nelda Brown hoeing on her peanut ranch. Further on. beautifully situated among the cactus beds and sagebrush. I saw the I antz and Robertson Laboratory, where they concoct the wonderful sage tea remedies. At Arvada the train stopped quite suddenly and I knew- something extraordinary was happening. Frank McDermott had been elected Mayor of Arvada after a strenuous campaign. Multitudes blocked the streets and amid great cheers Pat was thanking them for their wise choice, in a speech which some day will be famous in History. After tw'enty-years' absence, I again entered Sheridan and proceeded at once to locate the rest of my old friends. I found: That Bentley and Edelman had gone out on a dry farm to try agriculture and had raised so many cabbage heads they started on a sauerkraut factory. They are doing a fine business in a neighborhood all their own. as the whole community took a notion to move. That Sadie Doyle had taken Theda Bara's place in the Movies, and now even does better than Theda. PAGE THIRTY That Daurice Leslie had gone into the sheep business on one of the Anderson ranches. She now has a woolly flock of her own and from all appearance had lost none of her youthful rotundity. That Laura Cronk had taken J. J. Marshall's place—the same old Laura— only the mean kids up at H. S. spell her last name with an ''a” in place of an “o.” That Stella Jones and Edna Fauver are running a chicken ranch way out on Wild Horse Creek. It has grown so in proportion that it is now a mite-y placet That Dorothie Brown has given up the idea of getting married and is driving the stage between Dayton and Ranchester. Big Horn is now a suburb of Sheridan, and there Marvel and Harold run a sanitary grocery and furnish pop to the weary pleasure seekers; of the mountains. Two worn and dusty travelers from the Dome Lake region often stop to chat with them in their miners' garb. I hardly recognized Gronski Kueffer, now holders of rich copper mines in the Big Horns. Eula Williams, following in the steps of her kinsman, is running for State Senator, on the Socialist Ticket. Francis Neary is a speed; cop and his vigorous attention to business will no doubt bring about his election as Sheriff next fall. Glenn Warfield, who always accomplishes all he undertakes, has undertaken the Undertaking business, with Fern Stephens as assistant. Gregory Smith is a missionary among the heathen Hindus. Mary Parr and Ednis Carroll are raising cane in the Everglades. Ruby Crandall, poor girl, died early of an epileptic fit, because the Farm and Fireside refused to publish her poetry, entitled, ‘‘Last Heart Throbs.” My mission accomplished, on my travels 1 go. wandering, happy, contented. Yours truly. “HOBO.” WHAT’S IN A NAME? “No man is so well-known as he thinks he is,” says Enrico Caruso, the world-famed tenor. “While motoring in New York State.” continued the great singer, “the automobile broke down, and I sought refuge in a farmhouse while the car was being repaired. I became friendly with the farmer, who asked me my name, and I told him it was Caruso. “The farmer leaped to his feet and seized my by the hand. ‘Little did I think I would see a man like you in this here humble kitchen, sir!’ he exclaimed. ‘Caruso! The great traveler! Robinson Caruso!’” WAITING FOR BETTER TIMES. How much did you pay for thim eggs, Biddy?” inquired Pat. Forty-foive cints a dozen, Pat,” replied Biddy. “Oh. wirra!” exclaimed Pat. “We can’t afford to ate eggs at thot proice Put thim down cellar till they get chaper, an' thin we’ll ate thim.” PAGE THIRTY-ONE Last Will and Testament WE, the Senior Class of 1918, of the City of Sheridan, County of Sheridan, and State of Wyoming, dignified, educated, clever and handsome, being of exceedingly sound minds and memories, do hereby make and declare this to be our last will and testament. We bequeath to the Junior children, all of our worldly goods in the form of trinkets and playthings, to have and to hold at the present date, but the bulk of our fortune, consisting of vast stores of knowledge, over and above what we could use for ourselves, neatly packed in leather-bound boxes, commonly known as books, are placed in the hands of our guardians to distribute when the Junior children tire of toys and arrive at the age of discretion and are mentally capable of grasping the vastness of said fortune. To Dorothy Lamb, president of the Junior Class, we give this indispensable, indestructible iron band, so it will be handy if she needs it. To Charles Harker, son of a plumber, we give this piece of lead pipe. Charlie loves to smoke and here’s the good strong pipe. Dam Sure Puncture Cure is the only safe and reliable way to mend a tire. Should any person burst with importance it might be used successfully. Wayne Anderson, it's yours. One Junior boy only has had his name on the honor roll continuously since his entrance into the S. H. S. Surely Wendell Haywood deserves this medal which he can wear upon the lapel of his coat until a grander one can replace it. To Martha Becker we bequeath this barometer, to help her decide weather” she will go to Cornell or weather” she will spend more time in the sunny atmosphere of Spain. To Walter Kutcher, business man of the Junior Class, we leave this handy scale so he may regulate his actions and at the same time maintain his mental balance. To Dorothy Whedon, a domestic science enthusiast, we will this Majestic Range with directions that the first meal cooked thereon by her will not be served to company. This rolling pin, with written guarantee that it will even roll out rubber, we thoughtfully bequeath to Mabel Klindt. Velma Beaumont, Charlotte Cantlin, and Elva Lathan are looking puny, because they are eating their own cooking in Domestic Science. Therefore, we bequeath these apple dumplings, that they may soon regain their good looks. To Richard Cornell, this square of sticky fly paper—pin it to your bosom. Dick, and the next girl you catch you can hold. To prove to Grace Godwin that Scott is the industrious fellow she thinks he PAGE THIRTY-THREE is we bequeath a volume of Scott’s works (shorthand tablet) with directions to read diligently during the lonely summer hours. Two dainty feet stand ready to mount the ladder of literary fame. Maurine Hollo, the feet are yours already, and we herewith supply the ladder. Written requests are mighty handy when a girl wishes to ask a boy to take her some place. It would save the boy much embarrassment and also be quite a souvenir. To Hulda Willey and Geraldine Scanlon we bequeath these invitation blanks. To Winifred Stevenson we give this mop to use on the gym. floor instead of her basketball suit. We bequeath to Troy Baxter this new set of monkey shines (monkey on a stick). Maybe she can get some new ideas for next year's basketball game. To Harry Blanton, the class wiggler, we give these springs with directions to fasten them somewhere so he can do a greater amount of wiggling in less time and with greater ease. Nita. Juanita, ask thy soul if we should part; “Nita, Juanita, lean thou on my heart..' This song is Glenn Hurd's favorite—we give it to him to hold while he hasn't the original. They say Florence is enough to Madden a saint sometimes, so we give her this plaything to keep her in good humor. The holder of this coupon when properly punched, is entitled to a beautiful souvenir. Chester Cooley, the coupon is yours. Maybe Leona Lynch who stays at home quietly, would appreciate a few dates. (A calendar.) All are unanimous In saying that Mariette Hoag is an awfully nice girl, so we think it would be sweet to give her this stick of candy. We hope this cake of yeast will help Louise Workman, the soloist, make “do. We trust this “Testament will help Rita make Amends to all the Seniors before she parts with them forever. We give to Isabel McCarty this page to Harold the coming of the King. We hope this egg beater will beat the Latin into Barbara Brooder’s cranium. To the San-i-Dairy's assistant. Gothard Byland, we present this airship so he may go up and bring the soaring prices of milk and cream down to earth again. We present this powder puff to Ludlow Anderson as it is the only thing that stands between himself and the perfect boy. Rather than have Gerald Austin kicking at nothing we make him a present of this block of wood. To Gertrude Parmelee who aspires to be a cartoonist, we respectfully submit our popular and gracefully curved friend. Charles Chaplin. We know Emma Roberts will appreciate this recipe for Emma’s Wedding Cake —'tis so nice to know a while beforehand what one intends to serve. I ette Luces says she just loves music, so we present her this lost cord. (Ball of twine.) PAGE THIRTY-FOUR Mildred has the Kraut all right, but no weenies, so we bequeath the missing links. We give this book of the latest colors and designs to Mabel Garrard to aid her in selecting her new spring stock of hosiery. It is a well known fact that Thelma Gill loves all the boys! For fear her little craft might sail into the sea of matrimony and wreck, we present her this life saver, which will keep her afloat among the shoals of suckers. This evaporating solution will help Verne Warfield to vanish completely when he doesn't want Mr. J. J. Marshall to see him smoking on the school grounds. To Leo Cusick. our Irish friend, we leave a Blarney stone. When he feels like kissing, it will be a handy thing to have around. Keep it with you always, Leo, it will keep you out of heaps of trouble. Edward Gillette, for great bravery and daring, receives this decoration. (Bib.) We give Maurice Mills the plyers so he may apply himself more unto getting wisdom and less unto joy riding. Maybe this package of bran, wax-tight, may help Olga wax Moore clever in writing bran new adds for the Basket Grocery. To Lyman Brewster, ranchman, we extend this lasso rope tp catch flies with this summer. (Jumping rope.) In order to “make hay while the sun shines, the Agriculture Class will need some equipment. Therefore we give this outdoor furniture: The Hoe to George Walling; The Spade to Thomas Taylor; The Sun hat to Forest Dozah. We bequeath Helen Murray this parasol that a Summer’s son may not effect her brain. We will this elegant French harp, heirlooms of the Senior Class, to Mr. Morfing, that he may have something new to harp upon next year. To Mr. Booth, agriculturist, we present this watering can to make fifty sugar beets grow this year where one thistle grew last. We present this searchlight to Mr. J. J. Marshall so that nothing can escape his observation. Miss Cooper, Junior Class teacher, deserves this diamond pin (dime and pin) for surviving—yes—just for being alive. We give this pillow to Miss Van Boskirk that she may rest peacefully after her strenuous exertions.

There are others things more worthy of note and praise. In 1914. we. as Freshmen, elected the following officers: Gerald Dencbrink, President; James Bentley. Vice president; Gertrude Partnelee. Secretary; Lester Wood. Treasurer, and Mr. Little. Class Teacher. In the latter part of the year the commission form of government was formed in the school, and our representatives were Eula Williams and Harry’ Kay. 1915-16 was a quiet year in the class history but the record of the following years proves that this year was not wasted. James Bentley, President, Philip Garbutt, Vice-president; Edith Munford. Secretary; Viola Zander, Secretary; Mr. Little, Class Teacher; Sadie Doyle and Harry Kay. Commissioners. Our Junior year was a red letter year in all respects. President. Gerald Denebrink. until his departure when Vice-president William Edelman filled out the unexpired term; Viola Zander. Secretary; Lester Wood, Treasurer; Miss Evjen, Class Teacher; Vera Waegle and Scott Ferris, Commissioners. One addition we made to High School books, although it was not of a studious temperament—the Yell Book, sold to raise money. On March 23, we put on the first Junior play. Miss Imagination.” to get the funds for the Senior banquet. This play proved a success socially and financially, so we were able to give a patriotic banquet and ball for the T7’s. The colors we chose during th s year were maroon and gold. The Senior year has been passed patriotically in all respects. Early in the fall the boys organized into a Junior Loyalty League and a great deal of time and energy has been spent on the sale of the all important Thrift Stamp to high school and grade school students. Our football team for this year is the pride of our whole city, for we didn’t lose a game and no one ever crossed our goal line. I say our football team because ten men on the team were Seniors. Our last activity was the annual play. This year we produced three one-act plays. Too Much Bobbie. “The Maid,” and “The Editor-in-Chlcf.” Wo were the first Seniors to put on a class play at the Linden Auditorium. Our class has this year been guided by Janice Bentley. President; Grcgorv Smith. Vice president; Eula Williams. Secretary; Lester Wood. Treasurer; Miss Evjen. Class Teacher and Edith Munford and Lester Wood. Commissioners. PAGE THIRTY-SIX PAGE THIRTY-SEVEN Junior History In the fall of 1915 the number in Sheridan High School was visibly increased by the entrance of ninety-seven shy pupils, usually called Freshmen, and “fresh’ they were. Few of them had sufficient courage to go to the pencil sharpener at the back fo the assembly hall. The first and last, class meeting was conducted by numerous teachers and a complete set of officers was duly elected. Glenn Hurd being president. Dorothy Lamb and Maurice Mills were elected to serve as commissioners to represent the class of T9 in the Student Body. The next year, namely. 1916-1917, was an important term in the history of the present Junior class. They began to understand what is meant by class spirit. Although this understanding was not put into practice, yet it served as a foundation for the intense class spirit which most of the Juniors possess. During the evolution 'of the first two years, members w ere constantly dropping from the class and moving away until at the last of the schori term, 1918, the class numbered sixty-four. Class meetings were more frequent, parties were given and enjoyed, the last of these being a reception given in honor of the first and second football teams. Blanche Logan served as president and Dorothy Lamb and Wendell Haywood as commissioners. These two years were merely preparatory to the great advancement the class made in the present school year—1917-1918. The class spirit was developed, but above that, school spirit stood impregnable. Before this time athletics of all kinds had been looked upon, by the underclassmen. as something unattainable. It was now much different. Juniors were placed on the first and second teams in football. Junior girls were several times victorious in the inter-class basketball games. Junior boys became interested in basketball, military training and other athletic sports the school introduced. Class meetings and affairs were made enthusiastic by earnest members. The Class colors chosen were maroon and white. Rings and pins were received, the design, a combination of 1919 and S. H. S. Rita Amend and Walter Kutcher acted as commissioners. Dorothy Lamh President; Ludlow Anderson. Vice-president; Maurine Hollo. Secretary and Wendell Hawyood. Treasurer. The class of T9 broke all precedent by entertaining the Seniors at a play and reception instead of the customary banquet. This was done from a sense of patriotism. The Juniors feel that, after the success of the closing term, they are. in. a measure, capable of filling the place left by the graduating class, and will strive to do so, to the best of their ability.

President; Seniors. Now as Sophomores, they are eighty-three in number. They have Norma Munford, Vice-president; Grace Price, Secretary; James Withrow. Treasurer; Zerner LaFleiche and Juanita Wilson Student Commissioners; Miss Halden, Sponsor. They have lived on the battle field of S. H. S. They have studied and played; they have been scolded, and (sometimes) praised; they have known the joys of English. History. Latin and Geometry (?). A few of the class have found the hill too steep, or money too alluring—they have our pity. The Sophomore class has just cause to be proud, for they have done their share for S. H. S. Harry Downer gave up his Sophomore year to answer the call of the colors. He is now serving in France, and if reports are true, his associates are cooties” instead of “cuties” from S. H. S. Of the football team with its all-star cast, two of the “stars” were Sophomores. The captain, too of next year's team was chosen from the Sophomore ranks. Although the basketball teams did not win so much distinction, nevertheless they were there.” and they will be there next year—not as Sophs, but Juniors. Even though the future is promising, other days are not to be forgotten. Many incidents—good and otherwise—made up the Freshman year. Miss Wells was “guardian angel;” Margaret Downer, President; Harold Hurt, Vice-president; Gwendolyn Mills. Secretary; Orlene Chester. Treasurer; Dorothy Bentley and James Withrow. Student Commissioners. That year also, light blue and light yellow were chosen as the class colors. But why recall the past sad years? Now note you the “striking characteristics of this Sophomore class: 1. They all tried so hard to pJease their teachers. 2. The youngest members were thirteen, and the oldest ones, seventeen. 3. Some of the members are extremely cunning.” For instance, they can “borrow” the refreshments from their own class, and no one will find it out. 4. They have all made their teachers think (?) of them. The world will little note, nor long remember what they say here, but yet it can never forget that they were here.

September twenty-eighth the following class officers were elected: Burton Brewster. President; Lorena Anderson. Vice-president; Raymond Kern. Secretary; Ethel Wade, Treasurer; Miss Eisenmann, Sponsor. The Commission elected James McClintock as the Freshman editor for The Ocksheperida. The first party of the season was a masquerade held at the Linden Gymnasium. The second party was a sleigh riding party. A large hayrock was secured, and a Jolly crowd of Freshmen spent a pleasant evening gliding over frozen roads. The next entertainment was a party the Sophomores gave for the Freshmen at Linden Gym. A few games were played and then dancing began. The music was furnished by the High School Orchestra. A little later the Freshmen gave a return party to the Sophomores. Ice cream was served throughout the party between dances. At the final meeting Roberta Manlove was elected Secretary instead of Raymond Kern who had left school.

Furthermore, it has at least equalled, if not surpassed, any former club in the quality of its work. Early in the school year, under the direction of Miss Helen Lord the girls began to practice for an Indian Operetta, and worked industriously for several months. So on March 1st The Feast of the Red Corn” was staged at the Linden Auditorium. It proved a decided success and showed the musical ability of the girls. Part of the proceeds from this play will be used to purchase records for the High School Victrola. The remainder will be given to the Red Cross Society. At the performance of “The Camouflage,” the Glee Club sang several songs. Joan of Arc,” When the Flag Is Full of Stars,” “Somewhere in France” and the Story of Glory.” all of which were much enjoyed by the audience. Near the close of the school year, the girls gave a dancing party at the Linden Gymnasium, to which they invited their boy friends and their teachers All announced a splendid time. At the Commencement Exercises The Bridal Chorus” was sung by the girls. E. Munford, T8. Military Training The H. S. V. U. S. stands as the expression of enthusiasm and support given the idea of voluntary military training within the Sheridan High School. This is not an organization where any compulsion is used until after the student is enrolled as a cadet. It is a matter of honor solely ; and apathy and carelessness are the excuses for the enrollment not being twice what it is. The military division of any educational institution should at this time be one of its most carefully managed assets, but the active interest given it so far has been an example of what it should not be. especially among the upper class-men. All too many had a mistaken idea of! its importance and their loss through thinking it beneath their dignity to play soldier with a wooden gun” may be regrettable. This organization is modeled after the Steever plan of military training, the best known for secondary schools. A Steever training is a foundation such as our government is spending millions of dollars to secure in its draft army, and it is a foundation that is the last word in pre-military education. Practical, concise and thoroughly efficient, it stands as the best chance a high school student has to obtain a start towards that profession which is going to absorb all of military age within the next few years. It will be an organization next year. M. Bronson. ’18. PAGE FIFTY-ONE Sheridan High School Volunteers of the United States Officers: J. E. Hewitt, Military Director; T Shores, Captain; James Bentley, First Lieutenant; Graeme Baker, Second Lieutenant; M. L. Cone, First Sergeant; Lester Wood, George Pearson and James McClintock, Corporals PAGE FIFTY-TWO Junior Loyalty League To the boys of the Junior and Senior Classes of the High School should go the honor of initiating the city and educating the people to War Savings Certificates and Thrift Stamps. The Senior Loyalty League was placed directly in charge of this campaign and realizing its importance and being overwhelmed with Red Cross activities, they complimented the upper classes of High School by placing it with them. Their executive committee called upon us and under their guidance a Junior Loyalty League was formed with an executive committee of five. They secured a down town office for headquarters and the Junior League began to push the campaign with a vim. Everyone knows what Thrift Stamps are now; but at that time it was a far different matter to get the public interested. The very hardest part of this campaign was introducing it, and the first weeks were the hardest of all. As the people became more interested and understood more thoroughly, the difficulty of selling these baby bonds decreased in relative proportion. This along with the basis principle, which is a war-saving plan, accounts for the lowest sales being due the first week and gradually increasing as publicity and interest grew. If each week establishes a sales record and the system follows this line until it culminates in an unprecedented success the last week, then its expediency will be fully realized. M. Bronson, 18.

There were several purposes for which this club was organized. First, as the name suggests, it was a yell club, so that the girls might get together and yell at football games, and similar occasions. Secondly, it was for the purpose of enjoyment. Several little parties were held, which certainly proved enjoyable. The first was held at the Linden Gym. Part of the girls dressed as young gentlemen and escorted the other girls to the party as their young lady friends. Such merriment! The party was a scream from nine to twelve. Several Charlie Chaplins gracefully escorted their girls in, and German spies were suspiciously peering in at the doors when least expected. Some of the boys’ clothes, which the girls w'ore. looked so familiar that one was inclined to believe some one had let in a real boy. Another party held at Olga Moore’s home was a Raggedy Party and w’as more than a success. Huck Finn was there in all his glory of patched overalls, torn shirt, and straw hat. Another guest was Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, with all of her flock. This club was successful and accomplished its purposes. The Girls’ Gymnasium The girls’ gymnasium classes were organized early in the fall, with Miss Stuby and Miss Anderson as instructors. On the w'arm days the girls went on several hikes and cooked their suppers out-of-doors. These activities, as everyone knows, were great fun and much enjoyed. The classes met twice a week at the Linden Sschool Gymnasium where they were drilled in ordinary “gym’’ exercises, besides playing basketball and other games. The gymnasium is equipped with the necessary basketball apparatus, parallel bars, dumb-bells, etc. In the spring the girls held a picnic in Pioneer Park, to which each invited a friend. This was as enjoyable as the hikes in the fall, and the athletic girls are sorry that the end of school will stop their “gym” fun. They hope to continue next year E. Munford. IS PAGE Fim -SEVEN Debating and Public Speaking The first genuine active interest that has been manifested in Plato's hobby since Sheridan High School has existed was expressed in the debating class of the last year. The lack of enthusiasm over this subject can without risk be laid at the doors of timidity and a natural fear that exists more or less in all of us. To overcome that fear and develop in its place some degree of temerity has been a chief part of the work and a part which has been carried out with no small degree of success. To be able to think on your feet, is well worth the time spent, and oratory and eloquence is but a small part of the training. The little things that go to make up that dignified but rathefi intangible quantity called bearing, are well brought out in this course and after having followed the direction of the instructor, when you have occasion to speak the feeling of having enormously large hands and wondering why you brought your feet along with you is entirely foreign. The opportunity afforded by debating to study in detail important current topics, literature, politics, science and the variety of themes that can be developed afford a pleasing and diversified course. The popular opinion among the uninitiated is that this subject represents all that is dry and colorless, that it entails a vast amount of work, with a minimum amount of benefit. The fact is, that it is anything but this, and eighth period assembly classes unanimously agree that interest in it reaches quite as far as enthusiasm. The total enrollment this year reached thirteen, but under the competent and well directed tutelage of Miss Van Boskirk, the class has really reached the point where a notable advance in oral expression can be noticed. While an interscholastic competition was impossible this year, a number of lively debates were held within the class. It should be sincerely hoped for by those concerned that this is a part of the school that has come to stay. If given a reasonable amount of support and attention, it will develop into a valuable asset of the curriculum, and incidentally add to the prestige of the school through competition with other societies. M. Bronson, T8. PAGE FIFTY-EIGHT Q. E. Q. Viola Zander, President Eula Williams, Secretary Juanita Samuelson, Treasurer “Q. E. Q.,” and that mysterious question mark as a membership pin—what can it all mean? Q. E. Q. girls are very proud to be called Q. E. Q.’s, and are noticeably envied by the Juniors and lower classmen. Especially is this true when all of the Q. E. Q.’s come to school wearing some individual designation such as collars made alike with that “?” in the corners. Nevertheless, since its meaning is not to be known by any but the members of the organization, one will have to be satisfied with this explanation: Q. E. Q. is a club organized by the Senior girls of the Sheridan High School in 1915, to which only Senior girls may belong. It has no direct purpose except to keep the girls of the class together and it has often proved how lively a time a bunch of girls may have. At the close of each school year, ever since this club has been organized, the members initiate the Senior-girls-to-be. This year’s members of the club have been no less enthusiastic than the previous years. At the first of this year, a few new members, who failed to be initiated last year, were shown by the others how hilarious an initiation could be. Among the good times this year, one of the most enjoyable was a farewell party for two of the members. Vera and Inez Waegle, who left to attend school in Hollywood, California. The last of our entertainments was the memorable initiation of the Junior girls. A part of this initiation was not quite so seclusive as the others have been, because the Senior girls wished to share with the other students some of the fun. On Thursday morning the Junior girls were assembled in one room and plentifully sprinkled with some very obnoxiously smelling perfume. No one willingly wished to be less than one hundred feet away from an initiated, without a gasmask, or at least a handkerchief over one’s nose. On Friday each Junior girl was emphatically ordered by the Q. E. Q.’s that, if she wished to become a member, she must wear her hair up in regular washer-woman style and a bow of ribbon around her neck. Some had doubts as to whether the Juniors wished to spoil their reputation along the line of clever hairdressing, but the Junior girls, as we know, are not “pikers,” and each appeared as previously commanded. This caused no little excitement on the part of the students. By Saturday night the Juniors were prepared to meet any situation and went through “Hades” and “Deutschland” with many narrow escapes, but with no squealing except when the branding iron and brush were applied to their complexions. PAGE FIFTY-NINE The Class of T9 deserves the credit for presenting a very original and tt the same time, one of the most appropriate entertainments a S. H. S. graduating class has ever enjoyed. The performance was not only unique, but showed clever ingenuity on the part of the Junior Class. It has been the custom for the Junior Class to present an entertainment in the form of a banquet and a dance, but this year a play and a dance were substituted. War conditions, Tavored by a patriotic class were responsible for this unordinary, but well chosen diversion from custom. Mr Bob. a clever two-act play, was handled very well by a cast picked from the Junior Class Maurine Hollo, the maiden aunt handled her part to perfection while Thelma Gill and Mariette Hoag justified all expectations. Charles Harker's acting was splendid and Forrest Dozah's was also appreciated. Martha Becker and Chester Cooley deserve more than ordinary comment, as their work, one in the capacity of the stage-struck girl, and the latter as a much abused clerk, repeatedly brought down genuine applause. Between acts a very clever specialty, which was a takeoff upon the question of uniforms for teachers met the approval of the audience Harold King, as Mr. Marshall, was greeted with a roar by the students, as were the other actors who portrayed the eccentricities of various teachers The Juniors obtained a neglected but heavy flow of praise by starting the play at 8:30 p. m. After the play, the Seniors, faculty and school board enjoyed the inevitable dance in the Gymnasium, which was appropriately decorated with the colors of the classes of T8 and T9. Sherrard's Orchestra furnished music for dancing till twelve o'clock. M Bronson. T8. NOT A CHANCE. “How is it ye've never married, Norah? G’long wid ye. Mike!

PAGE SIXTY PAGE SIXTY-ONE Athletics Everyone agrees that Athletics develops school spirit. What we want is a winning team in whatever branch of Athletics we pursue. In order to have a winning team we must have the cooperation and the encouragement of every student in school. We must have the “pull” and the “push” of everyone. The “team” may be perfect and then lose. If no playing is criticized, if the team is not supported by the fellow students a good team may ofte� gn down to defeat. The Sheridan Football team of '18 was never defeated which was due not only to good coaching, but also to the unified “push” of the students. From a moral standpoint athletics is a great uplift to the school. Athletics discourages smoking, abolishes drinking and discourages dissipation in general. Athletics makes a participant a quick thinker, makes one to realize what it is to tackle hard propositions and also Increases one's determination. Last, but not least—athletics makes of on a good sportsman. My definition of a sportsman is: One who can enter into an athletic contest, in whatever branch it may be. with soul and body, excluding all things outside and fighting to the utmost of his ability to gain that thing for which he is fighting “victory”; a fellow who can win and lose and in losing can praise his opponents instead of “knocking them. If one cannot be a good sportsman, he is eventually barred from athletics. Sheridan High School boasts a fine bunch of sportsmen. We hope that in the future athletics will promoted to a greater extent than in the past. The Linden Gymnasium makes it possible to do this thing. We sincerely hope that the football team will be able in the future to continue to be in the Championship Class, and that Sheridan High will be able to put forth a track and basketball team that will surpass any opponent in the west.

Two men who coached the doctrines of good sportsmanship and team work in every play and our record is the result of their combined efforts. Janies Withrow—2 Right End. Captain elect. He played splendid game$ as sub. at end and quarterback this year and will be a strong man for the teams of the next two years. Francis Neary—4 Left end. Neary was fast on his feet and besides breaking up plays: he was sticky fingered on forward passes and a good tackier. PAGE SIXTY-FIVE William Edelman—4 Full Back. Bill played every game last year at guard, and this year he was a hard hitting ground gainer at full back Gregory Smith—4 Left Half Back Smithy entered S. H. S. just in time to make a place on its record team. Much of the team’s success was due to his playing at half back. And seldom did he fail to gain when given the ball. PAGE SIXTY-SIX Harry Kay—4 Center. Pinky was in the center every minute of play for two years. His passing was accurate and many of the 30 ) points of this year’s score were gained by his toe. Harold Luce—4 Quarter Back. Lucy was the one that didn’t want to play quarter back, but in no other place on the team could he have done more good, as he was a consistent ground gainer And many points were gained by his head-work. PAGE SIXTY-SEVEN Scott Ferris—4 Left Tackle. Fete didn’t come out until his last year, but as a tackier and line buster, he delivered the goods. Wayne Anderson—3 Right Tackle Wayne was a hole builder and blocker on the line and the team of next year will be fortunate in having him when the whistle blows. PAGE SIXTY-EIGHT Philip Garbutt—4 Right End. Fip. the slow in speech, is a whirlwind on his feet. If he failed to break up a play it was always badly bent and easy prey for the back field. He was a sure tackier and ground gainer as sub. at half back and on forward passes. Maurice Cone—4 Right Guard. Pussy's starring with last years second team against Buffalo got him a place on the team this year, but not full back. He played a good game and proved a stumbling block for his opponents. PAGE SIXTY-NINE Paul Buffum—4 Guard. Paul always made himself felt, and in all the games he played his offensive and defensive playing was good. David Wallace—2 Left Guard. Fat made a rather heavy obstacle in the way of opponents. and when it came to making a hole he usually opened up a hayrack driveway. PAGE SEVENTY Basket Ball Basket ball, after a non-appearance of several years, was again started in the H. S. The first team, composed of Neary, Luce and Smith as forwards, Williams and Edelman as guards, and Kay as center, played consistent basket ball and formed a quintette which was able to make a creditable showing with every team they met. Neary and Smith gained the distinction of being the best Basket3hooters” in the school. A series of class basket ball games was also held. Each class had two teams—boys and girls. The Senior boys' team won the series, and the Freshman girls succeeded in obtaining the series for girls. The Senior team was composed of Cone, Captain Smith, forwards; Taylor, Bentley, guards, and Shores at center. All were hard fighters and were undefeated in the series. All teams wrere trained by Mr. Greenwood, the physical director of Sheridan Schools. Mr. Greenwood deserves much credit for his work. The majority of the basket ball aspirants were new at the game, and it was only by the untiring efforts of Mr. Greenwood that the various teams were trained and taught the tactics, so that they could successfully play the game. Gregory Smith.

A Letter From Burdette Logan Brooklyn, New York, May 5, 1918. Dear V-------- 1 was transferred off the good ship “Hardship” and have been stationed at the armed guard barracks since last Sunday. I like the armed guard much better than the transport service. We only had four hours liberty in Bordeaux, France . Did not get to see much. Just had time to get a good feed of ham and eggs” without the ham. One thing I was thankful for was some excitement. I can say that without a doubt. We had a short but sweet encounter with three subs; just before we got to Bordeaux. It was said that no American transport could come into that harbor. We got one sub and the torpedo boats got another one. I don’t know where the other one went to but she moved away pretty fast. The torpedo boats dropped about twenty depth bombs, and that will jar anything within a radius of three miles. One is effective for about three hundred yards. Coming back we saw another one, but it quietly submerged and nothing was seen of her at all. We had some great fun with the negro troops on board. We had about two hundred of them and the 2nd Cavalry. They sure got religion in their bones very sudden. Some of them were so scared that they couldn’t move a step I saw Cecil Leisy the other day. He sure was surprised to see me. Vernon Winiker is at the receiving ship here. He is at the head of the dispensary and sick bay.

Against Germany’s lust for dominion, America’s purpose is to establish the society of nations. Against destruction, America’s aim is healing. Against mastery, America’s ideal is service. We cannot surpass the steadfastness of Britain, the courage of Italy, the exaltation of France. We cannot excel the Allies in heroism, in endurance, in fortitude. Our force in battle— though it may be decisive—will not be as great as theirs. We can hope to contribute most to the common cause from our larger resources. To relieve desperate privation—America can supply food. Giving up wheat is a little thing compared to their death struggle—in which our soldiers are splendidly sharing. A little thing—yet we can do it with greatness of spirit. Supporting our army and adding wholehearted service to humanity, it is in America’s power to defeat forever the passion of conquest. Now is the hour of our testing. Wheat is the test. PAOE ONE HUNDRED SIX THE SHERIDAN COMMERCIAL CO.
