MUSIC AND YUVTH There is nothing in school more dear to us all than our music. It would be hard to imagine school life without school music. And now it appears that Somerset High School has decided musical gifts, Miss Haynes made the proph- ecy, and by the long list of song successes is the prophecy made good. CHAPEL SONGS WE WON'T FORGET: The Introduction of this year's Plei- ades from hatboxes and starsg the Indian Camplire Songs at our Thanks- giving chapel, the Carols sung by Central boys Christmasg the Washington's Birthday program: When The Ilanjo Plays which the Mixed Chorus gave usg and, of course, all the music of our last chapel during commencement week. I-10 voices sang The Angel and the Star , the Christmas Cantata which glorified our Christmas Bazaar. The Follies were so good we feel almost professional. This being our first musical extravaganza, surely pride is allowable. It was a Purple and Gold Chautauqua that fired our ambition to 'Zeigfield' our school, and now it is done, and done big. Miss Haynes is wearing gold leaf laurel, and more and more boys are say- ing, Do we get to sing on the commencement program? So, when you read this book you will have known the answer, for commencement will then be sung. Another joyous year gone into music and youth. Love and a happy summer to our Gwendolyn Van Cleve Haynes. 'lj Il.l'll'lllll 93 :s The .Somerset Idea. '- Faculty Reflectors Most of us go to the movies for diversionkbut not so with Miss Allie Fowler. She takes note of every costume, of every piece of period furniture, every costume designer, and anything artistic. If it's a dress in a style show, she must notice it carefully for she might get an idea for one of her senior girls' graduation dresses. If it's a piece of period furniture it might be of interest to her class in Interior Decoration. So, when Miss Fowler comes out of the show she is as exhausted as if she had been teaching school all day. No one can escape the clutches of Mr. Aust, so don't ever try it. One boy did try and Mr. Aust chased him from one end of the town to the other, even across the railroad track at Columbia crossing. Up hill and down he chased him, his long red hair flowing in the breeze, and at last he caught the culprit and brought him back to serve his time in the prison for stay-ins . This was Willie Barnes's first and only clash in the world of discipline and we venture to predict his last. Miss Dorsey went through seven years of good conduct. without a blemish on her record, but it had to happen. One evening she came to dinner but she did not salute us politely as she usually did, yea, not even civilly. It had so happened that F. T. must have a 'beginning' and an 'end' for his oration, and he was going to give it the next morn- ing. This was too much, so the inevitable happened,-Miss Dorsey, for once, got doggey . Miss Haynes is a jealous creature. Oh no, not the sort of jealousy you think. She is jealous of the men of the faculty who drink her buttermilk. She just can't see why men have to have buttermilk when they will drink it sweet. Coach Daniel usually remains calm. He has sat through the most trying games with never a change of expression. Only twice have I seen him excited: once when the loving cups won in basket ball dis- appeared from his room, and again when he was debating the question, Resolved that man is intellectually superior to woman. On the affirm- ative were, Mr. Ruffin, Mr. Ellis, and Mr. Daniel. On the negative were, Miss Dorsey, Miss Haynes, and Miss Swisher. As there were no judges there was no decision, but Mr. Daniel says the aiiirmative won. As for the cups, they reappeared the next day with a note from 'Jesse J ames' attached. Miss Swisher believes in the theory that looks are deceiving, and she practices what she preaches. Have you ever seen her bristle when Y' lg :l lillfirilll 9:- -':n The .Somerset 'Idea - anyone says she is a fiapper. But why should she blame us for calling her one when she looks the part? And if she isn't one why doesn't she try being one for a change? With such latent talent. what could she not do if it were developed. Miss Tanner acquired Friday.,' Yes. so we know. Where Friday hailed from is unknown, but after she came she soon won a place in the hearts of many, but the biggest heart spot she held was that of Miss Tanner. Then,-Friday disappeared. Woe was she! Over hill and dale went Miss Tanner with' Pete hard upon her heels. We could hear her plaintive cry of, Here, Friday. Come on, Friday. Kitty, Kitty Kitty. But no Friday cat could be found. For three weeks this was the situation. But again out of the nowhere came Friday. She has outgrown her ginghams now but she is still subjected to perfumed baths and talcum powder for her maltese fur. Mr. Mershon's extra-curricular activity is cutting templets on the band saw for pottery students. He did it first for accommodation and ever since a throng awaits him every afternoon with no other thought than that cutting templets is Dad's first school duty. Miss Johnson is in bad with her cookery pupils because she doesn t eat her own recipes. She sends sister Hattie 'home daily at 11:15 to get luncheon for her. One day Hattie missed her chorus practice for this reason and now Miss Johnson finds she must become a quick meal artist Mr. Ellis is not a human fly. He doesn't scale walls, but it's much worse than that. He jumps from one roof to another. When Mr. Daniel was getting a new radio, Mr. Ellis offered his services to install the ae rial. He was on three roofs in one afternoon. On the same day he at tempted to jump over a table. Don't get excited if you see Miss Cox marching back and forth in a preoccupied manner. First she cocks her head to one side and then to the other. Her head is poised in mid-air as if she might be 'showing off' a very well shaped hand. But no, Miss Cox is not doing this for Miss Cox is not ostentatiousg she is only examining a poster before it is sent out for exhibition. Mr. RuEin isn't a coward, but really, he would prefer that his nightly visitors knock before they come in. Recently some one called and rather than disturb the sleeping beauties fMr. Daniel and Mr. Ruffinj, he thought he would examine the contents of the room without turning on the light Mr. Ruliin doesn't like surprises, and he was in such a hurry to tell coach about the visitors that he knocked over several chairs, a table, and a lamp before he could get from one bed to the other. If you think of calling at Mr. Ruflin's apartment, take a hint from this and knock at the door before entering. ag Il. 'ummm lj? nn The 50I1'lCl'6Z'l Idea For our best touch of realism we look to Mr. Miller. Long known for his particular quality of humor, he now turns out to be addicted to practical jokes. He says they appeal to himg lighten his work and pep up the girl printers. Bugs in the type , is his latest and since the drowned bugs do no buzzing you had better ask the girls who got splashed for particulars. Mrs. Hill is our faculty artist. Oh no, she hasn't taken Miss Coxs place from her, but how she can paint! Not landscapes, either. But you should see Mrs. Hill get the make-up box and make 'em up. She really revels in itg can do one a minute, and the effects are quite pleas ing. Little does the audience know how greatly the histrionic ability of the actors is increased by Mrs. Hill's make-up. 4:5 al 'naman 95 -To The .Somerscli Idea. '- GRACE C.

I 'lj il liiliillll QB -Ts The .Somerset Idea '- Autobiographical I was born in Science Hill, Kentucky, December 1, 1907. One should not be born in December, for his parents and friends combine birthday and Christmas presents, to his loss and their gain! I was a very ordinary boy, and, according to tradition, I disturbed the sleep of my parents many nights by my lusty yells. At the age of ten months I could walk enough to get to the stove, and after I got there, I could soon talk enough to let mother know I was burned.-In the next twelve years. I increased in wisdom and statureg then we moved to Somerset where I have continued my phenomenal growth.-G. W. fGuess Whoj I was born in the beautiful and thriving city of Somerset, July 2 1907. Like all babies, I ate, slept, grew, and cried. In looking over the records of my infancy, I find that I cried much more than was necessary. Hitherto my life has been uneventful: it may change in the future- who knows?-H. H. When I was very smalll delighted in having my mother tell me ghost stories. That is why I can witness the approach of Caesar's, Ban quo's, and Hamlet the elder's ghosts with so little interest!-M. A. I was born in the country and lived there until 1 was eight years old. I like the country tolerably well but I think I should rather live in town, particularly if the town is Somerset.-G. D. I spent my pre-school days playing with my precocious neighbor Jean Talbot. I liked to play with boys and hated dolls, while Jean read books and talked of things that were far over my head. I started to school when I was five years old, but went only a short time. One day Robert May came to school dressed like an Indian, and I was so frightened that I ran home and could be neither persuaded nor forced to return that year.-H. C. I first saw the light of day in West Somerset, a suburb of the great city of Somerset, Kentucky. They say that when I arrived I was quite small. That defect, however, has remedied with years, and Iam now a very good-sized youth. My father is a legislator, but no seer. Since I am not a seer's son, I shall well content myself with being a Sears' son-in-law.-W. R. N. I have always been a very troublesome child. I am gifted with a strident voice and an abundance of tears. My life has been a broken one. When I was nine years old, I fell one day, while swinging on the limb of a tree, and broke' my left arm at the elbow. When I was a few years older, I broke my left collar bone when skating. Always my left side gets it. I guess it will be a broken heart next!-G. G. I rj! :I The .Somerset Idea Oneida, Tennessee, may one day become famous for my having been born there! My memory has no records earlier than my fourth year. In that year a migratory photographer came to that town and you should see how he marred my infantile beauty. Perhaps when I am old and gray, I shall take my grandchildren on a trip through the family al- bum and point with senile pride to this work of art.wW. O. My life has been uneventful but happy. If you don't believe it look at my smiling countenance. See pages. I am the guy that the croakers had in mind when they wrote. Give us the lad whose happy life Is one perpetual grin, He, Midas-like, turns all to gold. -F. D. In my short life I have moved from Monticello to Burnside, and from Burnside to Somerset. I have gone to school. studied. UD worked, camped, and played baseball.-O. F. On January 4, 1907, I entered this vain worldg I made my debut in this locality and am still here. Unfortunately, as I glance back over my life, I cannot see any act which will go down in history. Perhaps later in my life I shall be able to do something to justify my writing an autobiography: but how unkind to require this of me now!-E. C. I was born in what is called The Hollow across the railroad from Somerset. I consider myself quite fortunate as there was an old swim- min' hole only a few yards from our house. The hole was just back of the yard where I took my first chew of tobacco. I have not chewed since. I was rather pugnacious in my childhood. There was one cousin in particular with whom I always wished to fight. We fought one day and he whipped me. My pugnacity subsided.-J. P. My parents' slogan must have been, See America first,-before settling in Somerset,-for during my infancy and early childhood we lived in almost every state in the Union. My life was a travelogue But them days is gone forever. Hope whispers fondly, why not as a basket ball star resume your orbit? -C. C. When I first entered schooli was always getting homesick and running home. Iwent for my first eight years to St. Mildred's Acad- emy. No one was supposed to leave the school grounds at noon, but one day another girl and I went for a walk. Our punishment was a whipping. My friend cried pitifully but I, stoic that I am, refused to shed a tear. They said that I was too mean to cry, but I didn't see any sense in crying when it didn't hurtg now do you?-A. B. I was born in Monticello, Kentucky on September 28, 1908. Had I the imagination of Joaquin Miller,I might make that event more inter- i 1-- :L l ll'l!1lllQ ill ll l'll'l' Ill -':n The .Somerset Idea '- esting, but since I have not I shall have to give straight' facts. At the age of seven days I gave proof of my humanness by developing a case of whooping cough. With this start, during the next ten years, I had all the ills of childhood, including measles and mumps. Since none of these were very serious I always recovered and lived a very ordinary life between times. My parents had. as parents will, dreams of a great career for me, at various times,I was given lessons in music, painting and writing. Nothing came of these, however, because the fact remains that however much my parents might dream. I had no talents along these lines at all.-M. B. K. I was born in Somerset and have lived here all my life, except two years spent in Danville. I am mild, gentle. inoffensive, and courteous and so have caused neither my parents nor my teachers any anxiety I have no vampish proclivities, so my pathway is not strewn with the wreckage of human hearts. And now may,-I sign myself. -G. H. A native Somersetian, I have roamed through three counties, fished from Pitman Creek and coasted down Harvey's Hill. When I was very young my parents saw that I was a promising child: my teachers, too notice that I am a promising student, and some have hinted with fi sinister suggestiveness that unless there is a materialization. this will be the autobiography of a merely promising senior.-F. T. I was born in Lexington, Kentucky, and lived there for a year when we moved to Pennsylvania where we remained until I obtained sophomoredom. I consider our coming to Somerset the most important as well as the most fortunate event in my career so far. Shouldn't you if you were I?'-R. P. I have lived in three large and attractive cities, Columbia, Dan ville, and Somerset, --and the greatest of these is Somerset. Last sum mer we moved away from Somerset, but so strong is ,the lure of ye olde towne that September found us here again. To me our return was most grateful. for Ihave enjoyed my years in S. H. S. and am proud to call it my alma mater.-K. F. My family moved to Somerset when I was two years old. Enter ing school at the tender age of six, I proved a very apt pupil under the excellent tutelage of Miss Saunders. She looks with pride upon me now, nor needs to think that my evolution ceased with my promotion M. S. F. I think nothing unusual must have happened to me in my child hood, for I remember nothing startling. I do remember going on a VIS it with my mother and being made much of by my fond relatives. At this moment the bell rang and saved you a dreary recital of anybody s life I-A. S. :L 'llillllp -':n T11 S 1 Id '- C OITIGTSZ Cd 1 Ifelt that my life was too colorless to be of interest and made up an exciting story of having been stolen by gypsies. Now that cannot be used, and it is too late for me to write a true biography, so you'll not know anything at all about me. But who ever wrote a true biography anyway ?-M . B. I was born in a village about ten miles out of Somerset, July 16, 1909. I am the youngest of seven children, and have five brothers with whom I have always playedg perhaps this accounts for my being rather tom- boyish! I was once a fat, freckle-faced, red- haired little girl, but have now grown into a tall, slim, auburn-haired big girl. To be sure, I have grown intellectually, too, from a twelve-year old freshman to a sixteen- year senior.wL. E. Just at this minute I can't and don't want to recall any incident of my childhood which would reveal the sort of child I was. Iattended a country school until I entered S. H. S. I liked to go to school for two reasonsg first, to learn, and next, to get out of working on the farm. We had good times, too, playing games and disobeying the teacher. You'd never think I am an anarchist, would you, to look at me?-W. B. In my childhood I had all the diseases which childish human flesh is exposed or heir to. Later I had very serious trouble with my eyes. This reads like the records of the State Health Department, doesn't it? Well, despite my handicaps, my school life has been a pleasure to me, and here's hoping my teachers feel that it has been a pleasure to them, also.-L. F. I was out of school, in fact, in the hospital when this interesting material was gathered. I shall not afflict you with an account of my operation for appendicitis, but some day I may rival Irvin Cobb with a Speaking of Operations. -V. L. I lived on a farm until I was fourteen years old. We had a good many cows, horses, sheep, and mules. Mules, I remember, are adept with their heels. I have entered a stall behind a mule and come out almost simultaneously. There was also an old ram, patriarch of our flock of sheep, who took fiendish delight in keeping me perched for hours upon a high stump up which he had chased me. I thought Iknew then how a rabbit feels when a dog runs it into a hole and stays to bark.-E. T. I was Hu-ing when our autobiographies were written. But the most remarkable thing in my life, so far, is the calmness and self-assur- ance with which they say I gave my oration. I who had always wept on speech day in the grades stood unabashed before the throng and spoke my piece audibly and creditably. Mirabile dictulA'L. K. We were born in a little country town, Faubush, on July 4. At the age of five we entered school. We went to a little white school- Eta 'llillli ,z -':s The .Somerset Idea - house on a red clay hill, five days a week, six months in the year, for eight yearsg then we came to high school. Having been born on Inde- pendence Day, we inhaled the atmosphere of our natal day, and, though twinish in appearance, each of us thinks her own thoughts, does her own work, and lives her own life.-E. and H. H. AsI am not taking English this year, I really shouldn't have to do this, but teachers are exacting. Bad eyes and a truant disposition in- spired me to remain out of school a year. During this year I sojourn- ed in Washington D. C. But what can Washington offer comparable with Dear old S. H. S.? The next year found me back in school resum- ing my work with renewed zest and ardor. A few more weeks and my pleasures all will end in the school where I've loved so well to golf- D. H. My ambition was to be a highwayman, but a spell of illness knocked this ideal cold. Imust rest content without notoriety, but fame is a poor substitute. After all, though, through learning and literature one may live much vicariously. --Ivan K. When I was four years old we moved from Monticello to Somerset, Monticello is miles from the railroad station, and we covered this dis- tance in a stage coach drawn by four horses. At this time there was no bridge across the South Fork of the Cumberland River and we had to cross on a ferry driven by oars. This was the first time I had been on a large body of water, and I naturally was a bit frightened, and thought the ferry was going to sink. Well, as you see, it didn't, and we landed safe. Then, for the first time in my life I was taken aboard the train, and we came to Somerset which has been my home ever since.-E. F. I learned to talk at the early age of nine months and have scarcely stopped since, My pet aversion at this period of my life was dolls, every near relative must needs give me a rubber doll, I was showered with them, having seventeen bestowed upon me at one time. How I hated those dolls. Paper, blocks, spoons, anything was of more interest than they. Later I developed an unparalleled affection for little yellow chickens that I found in the yard. My over-ardent affection led to the early and untoward death of some of these. Perhaps the chickens should just as soon have died early as late but mother had different plans for them.-L. G. I was born many years ago in dear old Somerset. The first seven- teen years of my life were not peculiarly thrilling, but the last few months have been filled with exciting romance and adventure. My memory has ever been marvelous, and, too, without any system of mnemonics. In- deed, I remember our moving from College Street to Main Street when H S-I l'll'I!1lllf-'Q :s The .Somerset Idea I was six weeks old! Markey walked daintily beside me. and Daddy piloted us silently through the then uncongested streets. Mother, hav- ing ridden over in a 1908 model Ford, was anxiously awaiting our arrival, fearing that we might have collided with a wheelbarrow or a pedestrian. I entered school at the age of six. We all did in those days. From that time I labored with unabated enthusiasm both at home and in school. Iwashed dishes, swept walks, practised scales. wrote themes, experimented in physics, compiled notebooks, sang, played, and danced the Charleston. Oh! this is becoming as tedious as a twice told tale. -M. E. Science Hill is my native city but Somerset is the city of my adopt- ion and the center of my heart's affection. We owned a farm out from Science Hill, and I was the only one to do the work that must be done on a farm. I have had people to tell me that in passing the cornfield where I was plowing, they could see the old mule, and also could hear sounds that seemed to be directing this mule. I was rather small, bare- ly reaching the plow handles. I went to school and worked rather hard. I was always dreaming of being a basket ball player, for then I did not hear anything of football. We had no gymnasium, so they made an out- door court. I would hang around and sometimes. if they didn't have enough present, I would get to play. I remember the first bicycle I had, I determined to have one and gave my family no rest until they got one for me. They said when meal time came for me not to come to dinner but go and take a ride on the bicycle. I thought they meant it. and was going to do as they said: they did have a hard time getting me to eat for the first few days after the bicycle came into my possession. Football and basket ball have been rivals for my interest and affection for the last four yearsg then, of course. girls are always interesting.- A G 'lj 'il liliillll 4 -Ts The .Somerset Idea Class History Ours has been a very enterprising class. In the pictures section our athletes all wear the victor's smile, and five of them will wear Na tional Scholarship Athletic keys which they have earned for themselves on muddy football fields and slick basket ball floors. A decided taste for public speaking has been fostered by the partic ipation and support of our members, and we have it from the facul ty judges that the senior speeches were better both in content and de livery this year than in the past. The senior play this year will draw a crowd bent on seeing a caste of players they have become admirers of in drama club productions of the last few years. Our class likes to act. Those who look for a homogeneous mass that they can label by one attribute will not think well of us for we are not of one sort. Individuality has had its way with us, but every member made his piece of history and the variegated whole gives a fine sampler from which other classes may choose patterns. James Padgett was a priestly figure, rich in dignity and reverence Eugene Flippin was an imperious dictator, at times impersonating Teddy Roosevelt. at others Caesar himself. Ivan Kelly has gone from one class to another delighting bystand ers with his brilliant, unscholastic opinions. The soul of Abraham Lincoln is seen in our own tall Eugene Tarter and Garrett Woodall has proved successful presidential timber for all occasions. Mary Susan Flippin has helped us pass our noon lulls with spicy conversation. Katherine Feese looked forward to each day, wondering. Who s my next beau? Amos Godby weathered all accidents and lived to be a tournament figure in our feature section. The Hughes twins, Effie and Hettie, were always on time with lessons prepared, no matter what the weather. They shone in Latin Tournaments and upheld the intellectual standards of the class. Hollis Huddle has ever brought her best manners to school and kept them there for daily use. Gladys Higgins and Clara Cox had their ruthers but didn't press them too far for class comfort. ig :I 'ummm ge :s The Somerset Idea '- Anna Baute ate her white bread in her school days. and the exqui ite Lois Gottschall always hoped that love was as broad as it was long and left full dimensions for it. Rutherford Prewitt played cavalier in the best court circles his last two years, while Helen Cooper provided us with a very different version of love's ways in the pattern of a modern Priscilla sure to attract John Alden in due time. Maggie Acton thought school a poor joke and so never smiled, but Gertrude Denton put conscience into her duties and was serious with a purpose. Lurline Edwards had a way of looking as if she'd seen the first blue bird. This was very disconcerting to three boys who thought of them selves as, us farmers . Owen Frogge, Frank Denton, and Willie Barnes were merely amused by the artistic temperament in such girls. Georgia Gover looked upon school as a literary club where attend ance was voluntary, but Madge Kennedy worked into the watches of the night that we might have our Homespun. Lloyd Farmer was and continued to be a solid business man though he went most with our classic reader of old world tales, Ellis Cook. Willie Owings was always on the hunt for charms to remove freck les but took care to avoid Raymond Nichols who was a born salesman and equally good at selling either good or spurious wares. Heroic spirits were not all possessed by boys. Mildred Barnett came four years through Ferguson's mud to Somerset High, and Virginia Linville could tell us tales of Pulaski county's bad lands and mountain roads that would make us forget our own troubles. From Ferrell Tate the faculty soon learned that, We are not always glad when we smileg we usually want something. Lucille Kelley's great childlike eyes keptaspirit of wonder close by us. Mildred Ellis's sweet soprano voice was lavishly spent on all school programs, and, by the same token, Douglas Holmes owed much of his popularity to the fact that he was always ready to lead a serenade for our cabin door. From these chronicles you can plainly see that we have both been and enjoyed cavalier poets, troubadours, Restoration wits, mediaeval monks, mid-Victorian ladies, modern athletes, bold dictators, mighty warriors, Renaissance scholars, Pickwick Club men, and members of pros perous trade guilds. Now that we have played our parts in chosen historical roles we are to be collected, inspected, and rewarded with the skin of a chosen sheep We are the product of the ages and our story was lived much as it N told. Our diplomas tell unmistakably that we met the requirements of our school. This class history proves we enjoyed our school days. 'lj 'il Valli' Ill f -1: The .Somerset Idea - Class Prophecy ByE.H. When the machinery of life has weighed too heavily on the human spirit, men have turned to a freer and more aesthetic existence in the field of fanciful story. They have traveled from the delightful non- sense of Alice in Wonderland to the profound seriousness of The King of the Golden River and Why the Chimes Rang. They have been blown away to the land of Oz, have outdone the magic carpet with the travel- ing cloak, have visited the courts of kings with the wonderful chair and have been led by Gulliver to every land of wonder. Perhaps the secret of the ability of the authors of such magic tales lay in the fact that fairy godmothers invested them with imaginations keener than ours. When I promised to assume the role of prophet for this class I did it hoping that some fairy would likewise help me. The fairy never came, but the other night, having indulged in a rather sumptuous supper, I reveled in visions. Now I am going to tell you what I beheld in these, my dreams of the night. First, I recall but dimly, there came, in rapid succession out of space, hollow discs of brilliant lights which whirled among tiny stars and dis- appeared. From the last and most brilliant 'of these discs stepped Eugene Flippin and Frank Denton walking down a street in New York. I ran out to meet them. What had incited these men to leave the old home town to which they seemed so much attached! Upon inqui- ry I learned that they had grown tired of the everlasting monotony of the hills and resolved to go into the world to try their luck. Eugene had been successful as a criminal lawyer and Frank as a travel- ling salesman. In another instant I found myself in Miami, Florida. Here I came across Clara Cox and Lois Gottschall who were conducting a beauty par- lor in that city. They told me that Lloyd Farmer was doing social service work in Georgia and that Eugene Tarter, now a widely known engineer, was undertaking the building of a trans-Atlantic bridge. Hollis Huddle, I learned. had taken unto herself a husband and together they were demonstrating the value of pure foods and Ford coupes to large audiences. Then, just as suddenly as before, I was transferred to another city. This time I found Mildred Ellis teaching music in a high school at Knox- ville, Tennessee. From her I learned that Helen Cooper lived in San Fran- cisco, California, where she vents her pugilist enthusiasm on golf balls than l'll'i' an In :us The .Somerset Idea '- which have been substituted for Ann Baute. Mildred also informed me that Mildred Barnett and Maggie Acton had accepted positions as ste- nographers for a large manufacturing house in Nashville. Anna Baute, in summer sport dress. stepped from a smart Louisville shop. She entered my dream unannounced. Her manner was as boyish and pert as ever. She had just sold the manager of this fashionable store an entire new line of shocking bathing suits and brilliant parasols. Only two blocks away I met Madge Kennedy, the new principal of the Louisville Girls' High School. Madge took me past the matrimonial agency of Katherine Feese and Gladys Higgins on down town to the Barnes and Nichols restaurant for a brief visit with the proprietors. It was here that I learned that Rutherford Prewitt was managing the Prewitt-Monroe farm a few miles out of Lexington. After this my vision became blurred. I saw no more of my former classmates for several minutes. The brilliant discs reappeared and vanished. In my semiconsciousnessl knew that Eilie had come in and turned on the light. Her pupil must have kept her out quite late. He probably was not yet well prepared for his college entrance examina- tions. Soon the light was turned out. From its after image there stepped into my dream Mary Susan Flippin shopping for the latest styles on Fifth avenue. She had a great fund of information to offer me concerning the class of '26. Willie Owens, she informed me, had gone into the movies: Virginia Linville had become the wife of a wealthy automobile manufac- turer, Ivan Kelly had become a world famous journalist, recently nomi- nated by Vanity Fair for the Hall of Fameg Georgia Gover had been sent to Paris, by a New York shop, to buy luxurious evening gowns for American society women: and James Padgett had recently become chief dispatcher for the Great Northern Railway at Ontario, Canada. Then there came to me in my vision a picture of Lurline Edwards furiously painting cherry blossoms and cardinals upon walls, tables, chairs, and mirrors of the exclusive tea room managed by Gertrude Denton and Alline Starkey. All this hasty preparation, Lucille Kelley, who was holding Lurline's brushes and paint pot, told me was for the annual S. H. S. senior banquet at which Garrett Woodall, American ambassador to Spain, and his Spanish wife were to be guests of honor. And at last I attended the chapel exercises in Somerset High School. I was immediately attracted by the masculine voice directing the singing After this selection the director favored us with a solo. Oh, yes, it had been several years sincel had heard that voice, but first ilj 'il 'l1'Il'll ,i -'Is The .Somerset Idea '- impressions had been lasting. Douglas Holmes was the director. orchestra organized in 1926. I told Douglas that Ihad been fortunate enough to locate everyone of my former classmates except Ferrel Tate, Owen Frogge, and Amos Godby. I can give you all the information you want about them, he said. Owen is overseer of a large poultry farm on the Stanford Pike. Ferrel, like Demosthenes, overcame his hesitancy of speech and is now judge of Pulaski County,--and I just saw Amos Godby in Lexington last night. He was surrounded by a thousand bloomer girlskeveryone provided with a huge basket ball and all throwing at the same basket. They were practicing goal throwing for the all American meet. Here my prophetic vision ended and I hastily scribbled down a few notes for this festive occasion. Perhaps some of you have no faith in my predictions. Now, I warn you, unless the wicked one sees fit to interfere, all that I have foretold may come to pass. But, if all should not, you must remember that no human being can forecast either fate or weather with absolute accuracy. ill Il l'll'l!1lll X :s The Somerset Idea ' Key of Knowledge The Key of Knowledge is only a symbolg but that is what makes It so important. Kings have scepters, symbols of their power, distinguish ed soldiers have their service stripes, and our nation the Stars and Stripes The red, white, and blue piece of cloth does not mean anything: it is what it stands for that makes every American citizen love it. Silver cups that are won at tournaments are only symbols, but every one is proud of them because they represent some feat well done by the students. The gold let ters football men wear would not mean anything to them but for the fact that they are symbols. They say that the men who wear them have sacrificed and suffered to obtain them. Knowledge has not always been had for the asking. The Key has been guarded by the selfish interests of the upper classes. The people of the lower classes could not get any knowledge if they wanted it The old philosophers used to seek knowledge just for the sake of argu ment. Until the time of Caesar, no women could go to school or acquire an education. Later, during the Dark Ages, the Key was thought to be lost, but the pious monks of the monasteries guarded it. The reigns of Charle magne in France, and of Alfred the Great in England stand out like stars because they were the only ones that fostered knowledge in their days Until after America had won its independence from England it looked as if the Key would never be used over here, but when Jefferson became president he polished the Key and opened the University of Virginia. When the National Domain was opened certain parts of every township were set aside for educational purposes. Our literature soon began to reflect our love for learning. Such writers as Cooper, Irving, and Bryant portrayed a people for whom knowledge must ever have a key. Modern times have made knowledge free and democratic, and furnished us all with a key. Now, every town has high schoolsg every state its colleges in which any course in which you wish to specialize may be had for the asking. We have grown accustomed to speaking of the 'key to a situation Now the best situation any country can boast is a land of free education a land in which all the people are using the Key of Knowledge which has been rediscovered during different historic ages and handed down to un lock richer contents for the last people to receive. A good custom has prevailed for a long time. I refer to the school custom whereby the departing Senior class turns over its Key of Know ledge to the Juniors who are to succeed them. This emblem is handed over to Somerset High School's next Senior class with all the discoveries we have made and with the confidence that you will keep school life go ing on the track of good scholarship and good will, and repair often to the house of knowledge with this, your key:-Eugene Tarter. :eg :l 'lil' an ,j -s The Somerset Idea Class Knocker By W. 0. Mr. Hill, we supposed that Sam would be brought up better than Bill, but he is more spoiled, if possible. Mrs. Hill, did you have that vault put into the new room to confine poor Latin students in? Miss Dorsey, we hope you repent of the unfair advantage you ve taken of the seniors, making them use words they could neither pro- nounce, spell, nor understand. Miss Swisher, we all know that you are the faculty idol, and you deserve all the praise you get, but we girls don't want all the boys to be in love with you. Miss Tanner, when you had your choice of all the Easter flowers why did you choose carnations. Was it because their stems, too, are long and slender? Miss Haynes, everybody knows that you are a great success in your music teaching, but you shouldn't have all your choruses taken in costume. It's a great nuisance to Mr. Hill. Allie Fowler, quit 'cramping' about those detestable basket ball trips. We know you get a thrill from those midnight rides, even though you are just chaperoning. Miss Cox, don't mind Mr. Ellis's criticismsg he knows nothing of art You should teach him, not get mad at him. Well, Grace, you held out a long time, but at last you had to Join the bobbed vamps. Do both college boys and widowers prefer it that way? Mr. Daniel, with the latest model sport roadster and being the best dressed man in town, why should you go out of Somerset for your dates? Somerset girls could entertain you. Mr. Ruffin, why is it that people who are in love are so grouchy? If all the teachers felt toward the seniors as you do, there would be no Commencement this year. Mr. Aust, you were very popular before you were given a last hour class, but now your chances are very slim of having any friends at all Mr. Miller, we hope that when you get moved into the chicken coop you will stop wailing about light. There will be plenty of light there. Dad Mershon,don't spoil our librarian by bringing her red apples and stick candy. You should realize she is no longer a child. Helen Johnson, you haven't been teaching long enough to have ac quired Mrs. Hill's habit of saying two in a section, and remember that you were a senior in Somerset High not long ago. 'if :I lvlljnlll 0' :n The .Somerset Idea '- Mr. Ellis, you have had a fine time with your week end trips in your red boat and your daily ride in your Ford, but you should share these de- lightful trips with girls as well as boys. Gladys Higgins, you are the baby of our class and you are full of pep, but not the right kind. Katherine Feese, you don't talk much and it's a good thing. for what you do say doesn't amount to much. Anna Haute, your favorite question, Where did you get that ? isnt suited to all occasions. Mildred Ellis, you are too babyish to use such big wordsg you must remember we all didn't swallow a dictionary. Mildred Barnette, if you would think about History as much as you do Biology you would get along better. Every one knows you are a 'bug'-ologist. Aline Starkey, don't think you can boss us around just because you are popular with the faculty. Mary Susan Flippin, if hot air were music you'd be a band. Every time you go out of town you needn't come back telling us about the lines the college boys handed you. Lurline Edwards, your quiet ways might be mistaken for vanity: in that Titian hair? fact, we are not sure that you're not vain, but who wouldn't be proud of James Padgett, we should like to have your prescription for quick recovery from violent 'crushesl You come back improved after each one and keep your school work up while 'crushingi Lloyd Farmer you are so much like a professor we can't tell the dif- ference. You ought to be the oiiicial High School substitute. Raymond Nichols, if you kept your mind on your classes a little more and not so much on a certain so homore, ou wouldn't have to et S a tardy slip so often. Ivan Kelly, still waters run deep, but we know- you have a lot of secrets in your well and some day we are going to pump you. Eugene Tarter, we know that you used to go to school in Florida, but the boom is over now and you can settle down in Kentucky. Eugene Flippin, you may be a lion among the boys, but when around Peggy you are only a lamb. Rutherford Prewitt, the ticket booth was made to sell tickets in and not for you and Margaret to park in. Frank Denton, we knew you were proud of your little giggle, but we were surprised to see you use it to attract little freshman girls. Garrett Woodall, your girls have all run after you but don't let that you'll have to rush a little. turn your head, they don't all do that, and sometime you'll find one Owen Frogge, you are too easily imposed on: you need more spunk. ig Il l l!'I' new :Ts The Somerset Idea I:- Douglas Holmes, we don't know which you are proudest of, your business ability or your position as music master, but we do know that you are pretty well satisfied with yourself. Ferrell Tate, you are old enough to know how to act better, for you are a senior now and not in the first grade. Hollis Huddle, the reason you spend so much time pottering around during the day is because you do so much Tuckering around at night. Hickie Godby, we are well aware that you are the girls' basket ball coach, and we know that you took the job so you could have all those girls around you. Lucille Kelley, you must be planning to go into the moviesg you pour out your tears so readily. Madge Kennedy, you may be Editor in Chief, but you are not an authority on all subjects. Effie and Hettie Hughes, since you bobbed your hair we have found that you are just human beings like the rest of us. Why didn't you do it sooner? Clara Cox, your chewing gum record surpasses any ever known. Your poor, tired jaws are beginning to mar your beauty. Lois Gottschall, didn't you ever hear that 'beauty is only skin deep'? Even a 'free' man will not be content with only a complexion. Gertrude Denton, we know you act like a modest little prairie flower, but you are as determined to have your own way as the worst of us. Helen Cooper, you should warm up towards people: you're so cold you give them chills. Maggie' Acton, you creep around so slowly that you remind us of a snail. Put a little speed into your action. Virginia Linville, you were spoiled before your appendix was removed, what will you be now? Georgia Cover, you make vamping a fine art. You must have takena course in eyeology . It's positively embarrassing to see you vamp Garrett. William Barnes, if you would give up your information more easily, instead of having to be pumped, you would have better grades on your report card. Ellis Cook, if you hadn't made so many bright remarks to Mr. Ellis you would have gotten better grades in Chemistry. As you know, the knocker has as many faults as the number she has knocked so at least fifty are due Willie Owings. Juniors, you have as many dumb Doras and loafers as the present Senior class. Why are you always saying, Just wait until we are Sen- iors , as if you were a wonderful gang. Freshmen,your hair cut didn't seem to subdue you much. You are entirely too free in your ways with both teachers and upperclass- men. Too many young society girls and too many sheiks for a Fresh- man Class. ...Qi 1 731 ililfdl 11 .alll 95 -E-lTl1e .Somerszi Idea '- 'lg il 'llilll -In The .Somerset Idea Class Poem Will you listen while I tell you Of our class that's small yet great, Of our work and of our pleasures, How with others our class rates? Freshmen, smiling, looks beguiling,- Of tradition old to you As we blunder, as we wonder -f Seems there's nothing right we do. We remember that September On a morn so gay and fair As the Sophs. all stood in bunches Waiting for a lock of hair. Then the clipping and the snipping: Golden locks fall thick and fast: Sheik parts vanishg curls fall thickly Nothing left from Beauty's past. But the hazing and the razzing Do not always stop just here. Mixed-up classes, tittering lasses Chill the Freshman hearts with fear. Teachers scolding, always calling Every small mistake, Though you tried your best to please them And a good impression make. Girls go gigglingg boys come snickering As you gag and choke and blush, Asking pardon for your 'clumsies' In the early days of rush. You keep fearing, they keep jeering As the time rolls on and on. But the horrid nightmare passes And the Freshman year is gone. By Ivan Kelly Days grow brighter as we canter Through the second lease of life, Noses lifted, laughing jesting, Making Freshman days all strife. So important that discordant, Soph'mores often seem to be. Starting gaily till they met them- Caesar and Geometry! Seasoned Juniors, quiet learners Of the ways and means devised,- Sadder, wiser after taming, Minds and bodies bigger sized. Steering calmlyg aiming surely Toward a sheepskin one May day, Through all make-ups and long hours, Juniors proudly wend their way. Class elections, ring selections Fill our vacant Senior minds. Dressed-up dating, lessons waiting Make night thrilling, daytime grind. But such living is not lasting, Second terms bring changes fast. Habits alter, pleasures falter As we face the end aghast. Picture taking, kodaks breaking Bring queer feelings into play, Half enjoying, half regretting The approaching day. Without boasting, we're withdrawing From this school of hopeful bliss, 5 U4 L Worn paths parting, backward glancing Over school days we shall miss. Speculating future rating Teachers smile and goodbye say, Round the Springtime of a sudden Comes our own commencement day. 'lj Il liiliillll -'Is The ,Somerset Idea Class Will ByV.L. The Will of the Class of 1926 has been admitted to probate. The following legacies will be found useful to nnderclassmen.

If you are not already familiar with us this sample copy is submitted to you at our risk. No doubt. you will discuss with our teachers the advisability of making up a class order of our kind for next years graduating class. We are the backbone of this school, furnishing material for everything,A football, basket ball, track, debate, dramatic club. We are possessed of dis- positions that help blend the elements when friction between classes appears. The Freshmen appeal to us when the Seniors snub and scold them and the Sophornores crowd them out of their auditorium seats. The Junior class has had twenty-five per cent of its number on the honor roll every month, so you see we are studious enough. In the debate club we surpass all other classes, to wit, Wilson Gregory, Homer Neikirk, Cleman Silvers, William Par- ker Gragg, and Vonas Hargis. In Art and Mechanical Drawing our class boasts such names as, Virginia Raker, Margaret Beattie. Alice Duncan, Reed Cundiff, and Ralph Woodall. In Music we have furnished two of the stars for the Pleiades, Mary Elizabeth Weddle and Carol Hunt. We have had a prom- inent part in the Dramatic Club. Parts played by Opal Denny, R. R. Waddle, Vonas Hargis, and Ralph Woodall are recalled with pride. The school never had a stage manager until our Junior Class provided a man to hold the posi- tion. The leadership of our class is not limited to the school. The activities of the Boy Scouts are led by Luther Tibbals and Reed Cundiff. It is such classes as the present Juniors that make great schools, and there are seventy of us, now overshadowed by the present graduating class, who are anxiously waiting our turn to make our debuts as Seniors in the fall of 1926. -Russell Hurt.

McKin- ney, Mucci, and Mills hold high old Somerset's standard in football and basket ball. With eloquence and ferver, James Rayborn Moore represents us in de- bate and oratory. In him our prophetic powers see a future Congressional Representative from the Eleventh District. In the popular Pleiades group. our star, Katherine Sitton, twinkles not one twinkle less brightly than do the junior and freshman members. In literary effort, Paul Cundirf received rec- ognition for an article contributed to The Scholastic . In the Dramatic Club, Virgil Day demonstrated that Saul and David had nothing on him in the line art of slaying his enemies when he had the lead in A Night at the Inn In dancing, Dorothy Inman in the quaint, graceful dances of yesteryear, and Cecelia Smith in the rythmic Charleston might put Terpsichore herself to shame, Now, really, just what would S. H. S. do without us, the cleverest, peppiest class there is? We all wonder, don't you? Yes. we hate ourselves, and so do you hate yourselves, but we just have the courage of our convictions. Our slogan is: Fast boys fathletically speaking, of coursel and pretty girls. il 'llilll 1- The Somerset Idea.

Take a look at usf Although you see us smiling now, you will never realize the hardships we have met this year. Sheep are always restless when taken to new grounds. So were we Freshmen when Septembers school started. But with the aid of the Soph- omores we were made to look about and act like the rest of the sheep. On the eighth of September had the roof suddenly blown off the build- ing, a passenger riding in an aeroplane might have seen us, the youngest members of a large family, sowed among the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, and in every class in which we did not belong. When the first trials and tribulations, such as finding classes and holding on to books. were over. the midyear examinations, with all their terrors. burst around the corner. We awakened to our peril with a jerk and did our first real studying. Of course. we are proud to be Freshmen this year. The school soon found out we were here and drew upon us for all activities. When football season came around we found that in our class were some boys who would be valuable to the team in future years. Three of these received letters this year. Two of us were chosen members of the Art Club. We gave the girls' basket ball team one of its best players. We own one fourth of the Pleiades. Do you blame us for feeling proud? Wait until we show you what we can do, for we are only Freshmen with three more years to stay. -C. R. FL .7 EXTRA CURRICHIAR ACIWITIPS ?g9J E 6 mgxgwii EF R?

Later these designs appeared on gesso boxes and book ends for the bazaar. Fresh men always do their share of bazaar work, and it is no small share either' Next the freshmen made conventional animal designs. Some of these too, appeared in the bazaar on boxes, tiles, and book ends. After December 17 was gone, the freshmen made wood block designs for Christmas cards. They started the new year by making rather complicated color charts from which they were supposed to choose color schemes for their rooms and clothes, as well as for the designs which they made at school. The first week in February they began preparation for the Follies posters which had to be completed before March 22. All the freshmen were very enthusiastic about this problem: consequently, most of the posters were a success. All of the creators, we believe, acquired through them some real knowledge of lettering, color, and draftsman ship. But before the year was over, the freshmen were to learn some thing about perspective drawing. They. too, were given an opportunity to sketch a few days out of doors. SQ-.il 'lan' lln 'S' :, Th, .Somerset law' Along with this applied art, the freshmen have also had some ac- ademic work under the name of picture study, a very brief survey of pictures from Da Vinci to Sargent. The Art II classes have done a variety of things. Early in the sea- son they made football posters. These were succeeded by posters and craft work for the bazaar. Under the latter head came many lamp shades, decorative tiles, leather note-book covers, and dyed and block printed textiles. In turn these things were succeeded by basket ball posters, then Follies posters, more border designs and all-over designs for dyed textiles, and perspective drawings. These were made indoors from still life studies, on rainy days, and out of doors, in fair weather. The pottery classes started last September with the application to paper weights of designs suggested by summer experiences. After these were finished, the amateur potters made cylinders and vases and finally bazaar pieces, which served as testlpieces for the Hrst semester. Every one began his second semester in pottery by developing a con- struction design and a decorative design, first in black and white, and later in color, for a flower bowl. Over a month was spent in making the designs, building, and constructing these bowls. Pictures of the best of these are shown above. After the rather elaborate flower bowls, jewel boxes, vases with handles, cream pitchers, sugar bowls, and ash trays appeared on the pottery shelves. Then another required piece, a decorated lamp base, and finally a school piece, the pottery test for the second semester, com- pleted the course. In Mechanical Drawing we had texts which we used when we weren't doing lettering from the blackboard or making designs for book racks, houses, or tools for Mr. Aust, or shacks, motor boats, or cabinets which we hope in the future will accomodate our mechanical drawing materials, instruments, T-squares, boards, texts, papers. and ink. However, only the upperclassmen were privileged to select these problems. The freshmen were obliged to develop problems taken from their texts, and to hear much about accuracy and neatness, the value of good lettering, the order and method of inking, and the principles of projection. ART PRIZES Mr. A. J. Joseph establishes an annual prize to be awarded to the best all around art student in school. The conditions of the award are so exacting that a masterpiece is expected from the contest pieces. This is the second year of the poster prize established by the Poster Advertising Company. The entries in this contest will be far bigger than last year. U :lg :I l'll'lllllQ :s The Somerset Idea -TI This year's members of Sohiscargu were initiated at a colonial costume party. The program which followed the initiations included a minuet dance by Ferne Gooch, a maid of '76, and Mary Frances Prewitt, a gentleman of'T6, several old fashioned musical numbers played by Ralph Woodall, Ferne Gooch, and Virginia Hunt, accompanied by Mary King Montgomery. and a talk on Sohiscargu's responsibilities for this year, by Reed Cundiff, the president. The new members made a dignified entrance into Sohiscargu, and have main- tained this attitude. It has been their responsibility to make the drawings for the Annual. The sketches around Somerset have been their particular interest. In spite of the fact that none had ever done any sketching out of doors, they were full of enthusiasm, and made the most of their opportunities. Sohiscargu is also responsible for the linoleum blocked frontispiece of our annual. Ferne Gooch, amember of the art club made and cut the block, and all the members assisted in painting it. Besides the annual work, Sohiscargu is involved in getting together a huge loose leaf scrap book which will be very valuable to all art and mechani- cal drawing classes in the future. Jean Gibbs has charge of this work, and has already collected a great variety of useful material. A .Y .-.Vvv--.

When all the hats are finished they are exhibited in a down-town store window, having been advertised by attractive posters from the art department. Garment making by hand comes next. This hand sewing is neces sary because the commencement dresses are made entirely by hand A wider selection of materials, trimmings. and decorative stitches is allowed than in the other sewing courses. One month is given to costume designing. The instruction in this course includes a study of appropriate. becoming. and distinctive dress color, line, style, material, and cost. The cost of the Commencement dress cannot exceed ten dollars The dress may not be taken from the school sewing room for any pur pose from the time the material is cut until the finished gown is exhibit ed for the inspection by the judge during commencement week. The dresses are inspected on living models and the prize ften dollars in gold? goes to that girl whose dress is adjudged best by the sewing-critic from the University of Kentucky. The winner is not made known until commencement night. In the first half of Home Economics Design the students are taught the principles of design and color in relation to the selection and arrange ment of wall and floor coverings, furniture and appointments. In the second half, they study historic art periods and the ideas which they represent, and the way in which these art periods influence modern fur niture and furnishings. The modern house and the individual house are studied, pointing out what a house is really for and what it should ex press. A note book is required, illustrating the principles of interior decorating. Sewing I and II are elective. During the iirst half a short time is given to the study of textiles, cotton, wool, linen, and silk, character stics, source, uses, and cost of the different fibers, the spinning, weav iing and design of cloth. The students learn how to plan garments suit ed to the individual, to his use and income, how to construct and plan these, and the use of commercial patterns. A suit of undergarments is made, and then a wool dress and a cotton or linen dress. In the last chapel a style show is given by the senior girls. I this each girl models her own dress. The stage is decorated with ferns and miniature mannequins in bright colonial costumes concealing the stage lights. il' 'il 'ISI' lla 'll x :lf The .Somerset Idea '- Cookery and Household Science Notes Vegetables4 the best food in the world. Fruits come next. These are the words of our cookery teacher. Such words spoken by a teacher be- come facts in our school day minds and give us beginners great authority among the home folks when we volunteer to cook supper and then leave off the meat course. The potato which has been vegetable tyrant is soon deposed and reduced to the ranks when cookery lessons begin, for we study all foods and then as- sign them places in our diet according to their food value. Our aim is a bal- anced meal and we do not allow either habit or stupidity to control the selec- tion of what we feed our bodies. The cookery classes have occasions to use large measures for the in- gredients required for their lessons when such times as the football banquet and the bazaar come around. The problem of feeding one hundred and fifty men and boys at the annual football banquet requires many hours to be spent in the kitchen. We know only that we cook the food by the many gallons , carry it to our temporary kitchen in the gymnasium, and it goes, yes, all of it. To show you that we can shift quickly, one week later we are running a cafeteria and serving dinner to men, women, and children at the annual bazaar. In each case the girls have ample opportunity to show what they have learned about serving. Punch and cookies of many different kinds are sold in the af- ternoon as appetizers . We also have a booth at the bazaar where candy, popcorn balls, sandwichs, and about eighteen hundred lollipops are sold. But all our cooking is not for feast days and holidays. The regular dai- ly cookery lessons are far more intimate and enjoyable for the cooks. Fre- quently we serve ourselves real meals. On these occasions classmates differ in rank. We have a hostess, guests of honor, members of the family, maids, cooks, and dishwashers all from the same class. From our course in Household Science we all hope to emerge efficient housekeepers. We must understand how to furnish a kitchen conveniently and how to spend the family income fbudgetingl. We are taught enough home nursing to enable us to diagnose any simple disease, the do's and don'ts of first aid, and elementary dietetics. We learn to do by doing, and by the end of a yea.r's work in household science we have become rather skillful at such processes as bandaging, inducing artificial respiration, changing a bed with the patient in it, taking pulse and temperature. As evidence of community appreciation of this department an annual cook- ery prize was established five years ago. And now the cookery teacher must discriminate among the silent workers who side by side for a whole year con- test for the coveted prize. im somamsermimrjni RECEMNG LINE - 'Ji' .241 . E CHANGES.

Color was furnished by Red and Black, Maroon News, Green and White, Blue and White, Orange and Black, Red and Gold, Crimson, and Old Gold and Purple. The animals recognized the haven of Homespun and many came: Sturgeon, Porpoise, Gryphon, Black Kat, Kaliko Kat, Green Witch, Tiger, Viper, and Eaglet's Quill. We have seen Pinnacle, High Tide, High Times, and Halway Hi-Way. Thistle, Acorn, and Cactus were flourishing in their natural habitats. Forge and Derrick have brought out big deeds but the Molecule lived on in the Round up. We had a Pepper Box for spice, an Optimist for counsel, and Rose Leaves for sweet memory.

This year we have had better programs, and more interest on the part of all students partl cipating. Every one has been anxious to be on a program, and really felt hurt if left off when his turn came. Public speaking has had a big part in chapel programs this year, and our regular weekly meetings have drawn good audiences. The plan adopted in choosing the debate team to represent the school in district and state tournaments was this,-each contestant wrote his speech, delivered it before the judges and was chosen according to native ability as well as to training. The team chosen included James Reyborn Moore, Wilson Gregory, Homer Neikirk, and Ferne Gooch, alternate, for affirmative, and William Par ker Gragg, Vonas Hargis, Cleman Silvers, and Hettie Hughes, alternate for the negative. The district contest in Public Discussion, Oratory, and Declamation was held April 9. The winners were, Madge Kennedy, Public Discussion Cleman Silvers, Declamation, and Ferne Gooch, Oratory. Keen interest was shown in the National Courier Journal Contest speeches on the constitution. Six contestants entered. James Rayborn Moore was winner. The paramount purpose of this extra curricular activity has been to reach and develop the largest number of students, and not to expend all the time and training to develop a few outstanding speakers. 1 1 K 1 r ill Il 'llilll 95 Q I-s The .Somerset Idea - MUSIC Rolls TREBLE CLEF Clara Baisley Lois Gottschall Hattie Johnson Anna Russell Oatts Marcella Britton Georgia Gover Lillian Johnson Lena Sears Catherine Brown Margaret Candler Clara Cox Opal Denny Marian Ellis Mildred Ellis Hazel Farmer Virginia Gover Ruthella Haynes Helen Hines Hollis Huddle Carol Hunt Virginia Hunt Faye Jackson Thalia Johnson Mildred Kelly Madge Kennedy Margaret Monroe Mary K.

OLYMPUS It is being whispered about that Mercury, upon his last visit to this earth, dropped some wicked words concerning a late meeting of the famous literary cult on Mt. Olympus. It seems these inhabitants of the upper world took it upon themselves to discuss the literary tastes of the modern world, and drew their conclu- sions from a review which they heard by radio of the magazines in the Car- negie Public Library of Somerset, Kentucky. Mercury reported the following to Mrs. Hill: The Gods were interested, although a bit disgusted, to learn that about 33 per cent of the students from the literary society, whose name bears the dignity of their noble patronage, find such magazines as McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Woman's Home Companion, and The American more interesting than Scribner's, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, and The Golden Book. But they were de- lighted to hear two students give Harper's, two, The Nature Magazine, two, Scribners, one, The National Geographic, two, The Atlantic Monthly, and one, The International Book Review, as their favorite magazine. They were, however, almost shocked to death when they heard Anna Baute had given Whiz Bang as the title of her favorite magazine. They had been aware for some time, so Mercury assured his attentive listener, that Anna was a little careless about her behavior, but they had not known that her literary tastes were on the same level. Upon the whole, they were not entirely satisfied with what they heard. The quiet of the reading room was often broken by a kind of buzzing which sounded like Margaret Monroe's vain attempts at sleeping interrupted now and then by a high pitched gurgle, like Katherine Sitton's laughter, which faded away into Robert Newton's voiceless chuckle. Then all of a sudden there would come one of those awful crashes and roars, like the blowout of a tire ora sudden bolt of thunder. At this the Gods became distracted and or- dered that their microscope be brought. They looked into the world with this mighty machine but could spot no flat tire, neither was there any ap- pearance of a sudden storm. The god of rain sat calm and sedate with his ear close to the horn. Suddenly a thought dawned upon Vulcan, black- smith of the gods, and used to the sound of brass. Of course, said he, 'tis none other than the voice of Somerset's famed orator, James Rayborn Moore. However, the gods heard, through the storm, a sufficient amount to draw a rather fair conclusion of the program of their children on earth. They were indeed chagrined at Joseph McClure's meager efforts. In fact, they were so ashamed that they bowed their heads until their messen- ger, whom they sent hastening through space, could stop him. But their spirits were soon raised by the excellent talk which Ruth Taylor made on the March number of Popular Science and The Monthly Evening Sky Map. Her voice came sure and clear to the ears of the gods, and they felt assured that their radio was, after all, in good condition. Qu 'llilll 0' -s The .Somerset Idea The review of special departmental magazines, such as Popular Me- chanics, Art News, Design, American Cookery, and Musical America, the gods felt sure would open new fields to students whose talents seem to fol- low these channels. Although we must admit our heavenly patrons were not, at first, much interested in Millie Fulcher's subject, Magazines for Women, they paid Millie the compliment of being attentive throughout her reading. In fact, one of the gods became so bold as to send a servant to the world to secure for him the last issue of The Ladies Home Journal, in which, so Millie says, runs a story telling how two Chinese women, both wives of the same man, helped him to become Emperor of China. The gods could hardly hear Dessie Cundiff's discussion of Child Life, John Martin's Book for Children, and Little Folks, but from the few tones that did slip through their horn, they decided that the person who was talk- ing was at least interested in her subject and they were satisfied. At the announcement of the next number, a review of the Poetry Mag- azine, the gods sat straight and smiled and listened with great expectancy. But this number was a terrible disappointment to them. A subject which offered so much, and a speaker who didn't even seem to be interested in it herself! How could she expect her audience not to misbehave? The review of magazines for men, which came in next, they declared to be well organized and interesting, but something seemed to tell them that it was being read instead of told. During the entire time that Jean Gibbs was giving a review of The Golden Book, Harper's Magazine, and The International Book Review, every god sat at attention. And they were not disappointed with what they heard. Now only one more disappointment was in store for them. Ralph Gard- ener, who in a previous meeting had given such an interesting account of Apollo, was responsible for offending his sun god by a half hearted attempt to review the field of short stories in our current magazines. The last number on the program was then announced. It was the field of continued stories by Girdler Norfieet. The gods once more sat up at at- tention, and they almost burst with pride when they heard him discuss two of their favored children of the earth, Christopher Morley and John Gals- worthy. That boy , said they, has a real appreciation of what he reads. fy f YK K ,fdfffmlfffosimfgf QW 'QU If H 2495 5 ' il 15 X S Z pf W grid x 6:93 'sf' f f' f ff miffffmkk 1 f ,l M Y X-',!x t X A L' I qf 5 C J I, C, I IV' ff 4 7, 5 A rr i, ,L it f.-, .1 13: ' .

And to Somerset High it WAS football Not a season of win here and lose there, but a season of hard-fought straight football such as BRIAR JUMPERS always play. Only one loss and one scoreless tie. But the loss was to Louisville Manual, the Ken tucky Champs, and still there were eight decisive victories. Our team brought forth not stars but a TEAM. Seventeen faithful, hard-fighting reliable wearers of the Purple and Gold. From these were made two all State selections, McKinney, halfback, and Mucci. tackle. The pigskin was taken across our goal line but once, with the ex ception of the Manual game. This gives a fair idea of the dogged de fense of the Briar Jumpers. Meanwhile, our backs were making cleat marks behind every enemy's line, making, in all, a total of 179 points They lost once, they tied once, and they won all the rest. But above all there was the unmistakable Briar Jumper spirit. fighting from the first toot of the whistle to the last. and one and all ALWAYs for Somerset. The playing season opened with Kentucky School for the Deaf Hooks wrapped himself around a K. S. D. pass and made Somerset s first touchdown. Owens won a berth by doing his stuff as a sub Somerset won. Traditional rivals, Danville High, were opponents in second game Nice day for ducks. No score first half. Demonstration of S. H S fighting spirit. Four touchdowns. Tad refused to grin until he saw a dentist. Somerset won. The Paris jinx tried to do his stuff again, with the elements doing their best to aid him. Absence of teamwork, plenty of fumblesg lots of drive amidfield but no final punch. Somerset finally came through with a score of 7- 0. Somerset won again. Rains again, buta good crowd in spite of the weather. Teams play well: much slipping and sliding as Somerset trampled all over M. M. I.'s goal. Revenge is sweet. Somerset won again. Then came the game of games. We play Louisville Manual on home field. Enthusiasm at its height: unusually large crowdg perfect weather Down town dope figured Somerset as a possible winner, but she was outclassed by superior weight. McKinney made 40 yd. run, making Som erset's one touchdown. Somerset defeated but not outfought. :I run mn PP -':n The .Somerset Idea - Somerset passed zenith by stampeding Georgetown Buffaloes over the cliffs. Georgetown confident: Somerset determined to dethrone Central Kentucky Champs. Result: Somerset takes breaks, holds like glue, and fights to bring home the bison. Somerset won again. Somerset hit stride. and went on a rampage. Frankfort High the victims. Frankfort spoiled our uncrossed goal line. Waddle let go and got four touchdowns. two of them for forty yds. each. Eleven men playing all the time. Somerset won. Stanford next victim. Game wasplayed on Armistice Day at Stan ford. Perfect weather, large crowd, both teams primed for battle, Stan ford primed for victory, their big game, our third in ten days. Somerset breaks trance in last period. Witha gang of Purple and Gold rooters calling them on, they gave back Somerset's usual answer, VICTORY. Somerset closed her winning season by defeating Lancaster at home. Lancaster kicked field goal at the start. Score 3-0 at opening of fourth quarter. In two minutes it stood 7-3 in Somerset's favor, and before the last whistle it was 13-3. Somerset outclassed Lancaster Somerset won again. Thanksgiving Day. Briar Jumpers closed season at home with a tie game against its old rival, Lexington. Plenty of rain before game Fine crowd. Lots of pep. First breaks were against Somerset. Som erset blocked seven attempts at field goals. Consoling feature of the game was the stonewall defense of the Briar Jumpers in warding off two almost inevitable touchdowns. Game ended in a scoreless tie. Thus passed the 1925 Briar Jumpers into History. Seven boys have represented Somerset for the last time. They have done their bit. The curtain of time has fallen, and gratified spectators are wending their way out, leaving in the wings a well satisfied group of players who have done their best for S. H. S. and have won success. In Coach Daniel we have a producer who has succeeded. Too much credit cannot be given Coach, so we merely say, he was THERE. One thing should be noticed especially: As the season advanced steady improvement was made by both team and squad. We had both material and spirit to be proud of. And now the curtain drops on the season: these heroes go to take their places in the History of S. H. S. with the other fine fellows who have played a good game for Somerset High.

Sometimes it looked as if the good ship would go down, but you can't keep a good team down,-so,-the Briar Jumpers have emerged from a ten-game schedule with a record not to be ashamed of The responsibility of directing a team is big. Mistakes happen to the best of teams, but we came through with a minimum. His passing ability was his chief asset. SHOOPMAN, BOB BRUCE WADDLE. and OWENS complete the list of first string backfield men. Shoopman will be one of the men to carry the brunt of attack next year. This was an in and out year in which he did not hit his stride, exceptspasmodically. Physical build to withstand punishmentg versatility to develop into a triple threat man Experience will be in his favor. Bob Bruce proved he was adept at lugging the pigskin, and the last few games mark him as a coming star. His brokenfield running, drive, tackling, all combine to distiu guish him as probably exceptional and perhaps a find for next year. Owens came under the classification of a good little man We happened to have several larger men on our squad, but this was Owens's first year, and with his ability and characteristics, you can watch out for him to disprove the old saying that a good big man is better than a good little man , and be an exception to the rule.

Although things looked bad at first, especially when we lost three out of five games, Somerset staged a comeback that would make anyone proud. In only two games were we badly beaten These were with Lexington and Campbellsville. All other losses were evened up before the end of the season. Danville, Columbia, Lind sey Wilson Junior College, and Monticello were among the victims. From an exceptionally green group Coach Daniel made a wonderful team. The following received letters: Captain Woodall, Holmes Denton, Flippin, Waddle, Mucci, Mills, and McKinney. Four letter men three of whom were regulars, will be lost by graduation. To the casual observer the season was moderate, but to the FOL LOWER it was a success. The following personals are called, though not by the referee- Captain Woodall: Steady, good floor man, fast, and always there Holmes: Deadly shot, fast, has a nack for impossible shots: good on breaking up plays. Denton: First year out, a senior. Developed fast. Hard fighter Flippin: Guard. Reliable, never misses taking them off the back board. Good on breaking up plays. McKinney: Never lets up. Good eye, always moving, always there Mills: Light, very fast, takes spurts. Game fighter. Waddle: Stepped out this season. Good eye and fast. Mucci: Another Breeches. First year out, will be good next year Learned fast and got the hang of the play. 631 -1 - U ul 'naman -s The .Somerset Idea. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb.

For years they have been trying to prove that girls' basket ball can be inter esting. It is true their season has not been one of continuous victories nor has the team taken its job very seriously at times, but, out of it all there is forming that determined S. H. S. spirit. The girls' team is not losing a player by graduation, and it has developed Ross and Hail into regulars. Neither has made the team before. With the same players next year we shall have a team that should step out. A great deal of the success of the teams can be attributed to our student coach, Godby. Besides turning out a good team from none too experienced material, Godby has paved the way for greater success next year. Godby was kept off the boys' team by an injury sustained to his ankle last year. The critics of Somerset say that Godby has had better success than many of the regular coaches of the girls' team. The team alternated losses with winnings but near the end of the season it made a spurt and copped several slight victories. The season ended with more than 100 points to spare. Those who did yeoman service were: Murphy, captain, guard hardest fighter on the team, good leader, and always thereg Vitateau who got better as season advanced,-she stayed with 'emg Hail, new man, fast, adeadly shot, and dependable, Ross, another new man, got better as season advanced, had spurtsg Davis, center, backbone of offense, never quit, steady, and a good shot: Prewitt, little, fast, willing a fighter, Truby, a new arrival at S. H. S., didn't see much action but was always ready, Ping, new man, will be good next year, has that old S. H. S. spirit,-a hard fighter. ij: il 'ISPII ' :r The .Somersei Idea '- Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan.

Although it was organized the second semester. it was popular enough t0 have a membership of fifty- five before the end of school. This is nearly half the boys in S. H. S. Ray McKinney, Robert Bruce Waddle, Ivan Kelly, and Cabbell Owens guided the new Hi-Y bark through the turbulent waters on its maiden voyage. Chapel exercises, clean speech campaigns, anti-school property destruct- ion campaigns, and many interesting programs were recorded in the ship's log. Now the voyage is complete and the ship steams safely into port to await its new commanders who will take it on its second voyage next year. In conclusion we may say that Hi-Y, although new, has left its impression upon the school, and we hope that in the ensuing years. when its program has become better known, the impression will be greater. Our platform tells our aim: clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship, and clean living. A school with one hundred per cent in these particulars would be a thing to be proud of. Hi-y's of the future, here is your goal. Go to it!

There followed a shrill, rasping, unmelodious at- tempt at whistling, SHI miss my Dotg she may be only a 'comma' to some. but she is Dot to me. He paused at the gate, his heart bobbing up and down like the tail of a rabbit trying to get away from the boll weevils which are trying to get the cotton out of his tail. His hand closed on the gate, but he paused a moment, for there was borne to him on the sweet, whispering zephyrs of the night, a voice so low, so gentle, almost a whisper, JKNOYI A cruel smile overspread Midnight's dashing young countenanceg his ever- working jaws clicked together and stopped for once. He opened the gate and crept silently up the path to arosebush behind the unsuspecting pair. Here he paused and slowly raised his head. The sight which greeted his eyes was heartrending. He staggered back, covering his eyes with his hands, then blindly he sought support. His groping hand closed on a rose thorn. He sprang erect, the point of the thorn had injected new life into him. A dangerous smile crossed his countenance, his hand swept, quick as lightning, to his pocket, he drew it forth and in it lay-a stick of JUICY FRUIT. The strain was too much, he looked at the gum and, finding consola- tion in it, he again raised his eyes to the scene. There in the silvery radiance of the moonlight, under the twinkling canopy of the starlit heavens, encircled by an arbor of red, white, and yellow roses, in the sweet essence of youth- ful splendor, speechless with the awe of the majesty of the moon and the moment, indulging in youthful whims of fantasy, sat Bush gazing into the soulful eyes of a dainty, dazzling maiden,-to him the one, the only, and the original Dot. To Midnight it was a trying moment, and in his distress a whisper smote his ears: Dearest, you are all the world to me, the sun, the moon, and a couple of planets. As I gaze into your eyes this night my heart goes outg my love for you is unbounded. Dorothy, my love, my life, my all, will you not say the words that will make me happy the rest of my life? Entranced by the eloquence of Bush, she raised her eyes and gave him a look that sent him to his seventh heaven, and in a voice that trembled with emotion, yet was yielding in its tone, she whispered, No . In despair Bush buried his face in his hands. Suddenly he raised his head, squared his shoulders, and, seizing her white hand, he knelt at her feet and pressed the hand to his lips. Then, in a voice that sounded strange- ly calm to Midnight, Bush eloquently bared his love: Dear, though many moons may come and go, I shall never forget you. Always you will remain in my heart. Had you accepted me, I had planned the most wonderful of honeymoons for us. Together we should have crossed the rolling plains of the Bluegrass, hunted the wild rabbits of Alcalda, glided down the river on the gondolas of Burnside-- but no more of my dreams. To you I am dead. Now I shall go, never to return. But before I go you shall know that for you I would do anything, yes, even miss a Harold Lloyd picture. I know now for whom you care. It is Midnight. I have thought that ever since the old school days. Yes, even in my sorrow, I remember those days, what bliss they were. But all this bores you! So, Igo. But never again to me will Qu 'Ili ' u ,Q il The .Somerset Idea the song of the nightingale be so sweet, though even the winds continue to bring thoughts of you. The world will never again be as it was, I shall pass out of your life. Extend my congratulations to Midnight, and if he should ever-but no, I must go-yet-I am held. The earth shall swallow me up but even though I am in one of the remote corners of the earth,-Science Hill Monticello, Corbin,-I shall come at your bidding. Loved one, farewell He rose, and with one last pleading look turned and staggered away. Bush, came a small voice behind him, forgive me. I was only in fun-and-I-I love you. Slowly Bush turned, as though he feared the Fates were jesting with him, and looked back. Midnight in his place of concealment read the look in that glance and his own hopes fell, for in it he saw his doom. He gnash ed his teeth, called himself six dozen different names, and waited. As Bush turned she started to meet him and there in the moonlight they met. Gently he pushed her head back and gazed into her eyes. Dorothy came a voice from the house, telephone , Another chance at heaven gone by, thought Bush while Midnight did a dance of glee behind his rosebush Presently Dot returned, and told the impatient Bush that it was just Marie calling. They seated themselves on the arbor bench, and again Midnight had seven spasms while he watched Bush bend again to say soulfully I love you. Midnight clawed his hair and gritted his teeth, in fact he felt just about dead, when a dry branch fell from an overhanging tree and struck the top of the arbor. It's an ill Wind, etc., and the watcher almost fainted in relief. Nothing daunted, Bush led her out into the middle of the lawn, and, while the moon hid its face, the low breezes seemed to hum sweet tunes, the twink ling stars twinkled more merrily, the gurgling fountain gurgled on, -in that blissful moment he looked at her and she nodded 'yes'. It was a. Bush in his twentieth heaven, but the rosebush was not. Those hamburgers! said a very disgruntled Midnight as he picked him self up from the floor and tried to rearrange the covers on a very tumbled bed, and to get some sleep that refused to come again.-Ivan Kelley.
