E. Hflll, our beloved Superintendent and Prflnoflpdl. Beacons of light and leaders in education, not only to those in Somerset but, like the im- partial light, their rays penetrate into the rug- ged hills and dells of Pulaski, bringing hope. Every lad and lass sees the rays, and the great yearning for more light fills their souls, and, with conlidence and genuine longing for an education, ' 'they come. ' ' Four years they feast their souls on this light-then they go, as We are going now, with undaunted courage planted forever in their hearts. Over them hangs the spirit of the Hills which forever Whispers in the ear of youth, 'Onwardl Onward! Ever Onvvardl' Undnflvnonsly voted to be so dedicated.

WOODALL It is not only to the Juniors, to whom we present this key, that the doors of knowledge are unlocked. The Sophomores and the Freshmen are worthy of it, but, having had possession of it for the past year, we wish to leave this key, as is the custom, to the class that is best prepared to carry forward the burden of knowledge. .In front of us, only a few steps away there is a large door. Once this door was small and could admit only a few people, but on account of the spread of school opportunities, and the advancement of industry this small door has been replaced by a door which is large enough to admit even more than are now passing through it. Beyond this door is the large field of golden opportunity which may be reached by all of us. The key of knowledge, of which this key is a symbol, fits this door. It is now left for you and me to open it for our- selves. This door will not open by merely speaking to it, or by some fairy waving his magic wand, but each person must open the way to op- portunity by his own toil. ' The success which lies beyond will be reached by some. Others will be content to ride their ponies to the door and dismount. Education may be used as a tool with which we may open this door to success. If our education is not thorough it will be very difiicult to succeed, and it will take much hard work to overcome the handicap. Pos- sibly the door to success will not come open at all. But if hard earnest effort is used in the making of this tool which we call 'education' the door will be much more easily opened. -Then we may look out upon the field of opportunity, and we may take our choice of its oierings. AS representative of the Senior Class of 1927, I shall now give this key Into the Custody of the Junior Class, and ask that they keep 011911 the door Of 0DD0Ftl1I1i'Cy through wise use of this key of knowledge that future Classes may S0 out from our school equipped with the high stan- dards of work and ambition for which Somerset High School stands. . 5 in fl- 1' Adiir '-' , W Q, f mai LEI I I I4 Vit., X S Li:- va ia -L gi ISI limi!

I was a rather large baby but as you see I haven't grown much since. My mother says I was a good baby, that I never gave her any trouble. I have lived in other cities but I was so small I didn't take any interest in them. Ever since Ihave been old enough to know anything about athletics I have liked it. My unfulfilled ambition was to be large. They used to call me Buster but now it is Owens , I have made my letters in Football and Basket Ball for the past two years. I hope to become a civil engineer. PAULINE GRAGG: I was born June 4, 1908 in the Somerset Cemetery but I am not a 'dead one'. I am not afraid of ghosts for I have played hide- and-seek with them behind the tombstones. I have always played with boys and wish I had been one. I like camping, hiking, and swimming. They say I am high tempered. My nickname is Polly. I am going to be a stenographer. GIRDLER NORFLEET: I arrived in the world December 22, 1908, almost a Christmas present. It was snowing, so they say , and, though I couldn't say so, I took a liking to snow which I have kept. My school life has been very happy. Vacations have been spent camping at Daniel Boone and Mammoth Cave. Last summer I spent my vacation at Miami, Florida, and got a lot of fun out of the old ocean. I have been called Pest sometimes but my real nickname is Doc . I hope to go to college but have not decid- ed upon my life vocation. At present before and after school I am pill roller in a drug store. VIRGINIA BAKER: Born in Somerset, November 15, 1909. A good baby. As a little girl, lived in Knoxville, Tennessee.

P., Katrina, Lengthy. My ambition is to be a teacher. I know my teachers all hope my pupils will get even for them. RAYMOND ROY: Born in Somerset, November 13, 1908. Used to kill little chickens. My mother tied my hands behind me to make me stop throwing rocks. My school days have been spent, five years in Fourth Ward, three in Parker, and four in S. H.S. I remember the winters in school but until four years ago spring meant fishing to me. I do not know what I'll do to earn my bread and butter. HOMER NEIKIRK: I am a country boy.

This is not boasting. I like girls. I am the flower of the N eikirk family, the blooming Astoria! My ambition is to become a great doctor like Dr. Mayo, or a smiling professor like C. W. Reiley., EMORY DALE INMAN: Born Oakdale, Tennessee, April 27, 1908. A very small baby and very good looking. Ihave always had admirers. My taste is domestic.

When I was seven years old my brother and I were swinging on a big gate andI fell, striking my head on a pile of rocks.

My nickname is O-pal and I' hope it sticks to me. CLARA BAISLEY: Born in Somerset, October 31, 1909. Being born on Halloween probably accounts for my absurd tastes.

Vernon Street, Somerset, Kentucky, November 13, 1909. It wasn't my faulty I should have preferred Saturday the fourteenth. My freshman year was the hardest of any in high school. That was because I was impertinent to teachers and impudent to the girls. Now I speak only when teachers speak to me and do not speak to girls, but let the conceited creatures do all the talking, so those troubles are at an end. I have no nickname. There are so many activities in Somerset High Sch00l to stir ambition that I can't tell yet what I can succeed best at. Mrs. Hill wants me to be David Belasco's successor in the world of stage sets. I'd like to make that wish come true - - - if I only could! . ca Sf' Rllilfl Um' W- W3 l Eviilmmlfrrif ,5.fwfe'ffW iimlmvlfx. -v Mises-ff . ' e il? itfl1'ff Ll.,,, . Hfrlimml lla, UIUIDTIBBIL.

I do not remember very much about my childhood except that M 3 I was so timid and so bashful that I hid when strangers came to our house. , The first ten years of my school life were spent in Ferguson. At the urg- ' ing of my aunt, who wanted me to graduate from a good school, I came to Somerset High School for my last two years. When I arrived I landed in the lg 3 library, thinking it was the office. The librarian brought me to the auditori- 1 In um and when my turn came I was registered by Mrs. Hill and lived happily an ever after. My nickname is Bob and my ambition is to work in the First ,mn National Bank. F1921 viii 1355 lil' 25.1 alfa it I1 ISIS' ,gi dig r get , ggi. -4 if 4, 92 ff' .19 ' J.

But do not get this David confused with King David the Giant Killer . I have never killed anything except time. I like business and have sampled several sorts. Even inspected box cars for a week once. Worked on a state road in Georgia, jerked soda water in Florida, and now sell men's furnishings after school. Mr. Miller has encouraged me to take a course in Finance and Commerce when I get to college. My nickname is Dave and my voice is falsetto. LOIS PATTERSON: Born July 13, 1907, sixteen miles east of Somerset, in a little village called Public. Spent my life on a mountain farm until en- tering Somerset High School. I had older sisters but they paid no attention to me and I used to run away when I felt neglected and wander from place to place until some one found me. Even before I was of school age I wanted to go to school. Though no one suspects it, I like beautiful clothes and when I get through college and get a position I am going to dress up. CLIFTON NEIKIRK: Born December 16, 1906 in Somerset. Child- hood spent roaming over the hills of old Pulaski. Love summer. Decided early in life not to be a farmer because so many of my well planned fishing trips and baseball games were taken from me because the potatoes had to be bugged or the corn hoed . Though living in town I have had to be in- dustrious for there was always left for me chickens to feed, cows to milk, and gardens to raise. I have no great ambition so they may run me for the legislature in a few years! RUSSELL HURT: Born in Honaker, Virginia, October 1, 1908. T01 ward the end of my eleventh year we migrated to Kentucky. My greatest delight back in old 'Virginny' was riding log trams back through the coal : r r. in .Jag o g I FTITERI . ' Sowmerszt I-dea ' fields to the mountains. Sometimes these rides were followed by great physical torture when I went home late. My school days in Somerset High have been very happy. I have made business good for Henry Ford because I have worn out three of his rattlers driving to school and making first aid trips after I got to school. My nickname is Rusty and my ambition is to be president of the Standard Oil Company. A REED CUNDIFF: Born seventeen years ago in Cincinnati, Ohio, Should have preferred Kentucky for my birthplace, but didn't have a chance to choose. At the age of five I went to Florida, and was nearly drowned in the ocean. As soon as I couldI joined the Boy Scouts of America and have had a big time in this organization. Last year I went to a Citizens Military Training Camp and learned about 'soldieringl Trips to Cumberland Falls, Cin- cinnati, and Louisville complete my travels. My fault is asking questions. I cannot help this because Iwant to know why. At home my name is too short to replace with a nickname. At C. M. T. C. they called me Kentucky because I yelled so loudly for my state. My ambition is to go to Annapolis and, of course CD be an admiral in the navy. GEORGE DAVIS: Born July 27, 1907 within the shadows of White City Baseball Park. Moved to the sticks of Alabama at the green apple eating age, and from Alabamato Danville, Kentucky. When nine years old I enter- ed the first grade but was quickly promoted to the second because CI thinkl my oversize would have reflected upon the teaching of my teachers. When I heard that we were to move to Somerset I ordered my lilies sent ahead, but found Danville had misrepresented the spirit of Somerset. Istill have all my teeth, though a friend lost one of his in Danville. I am lazy. I like to sit comfortably in auditorium and read and draw cartoons of my school- mates. My memory is too short to remember even the next day's lessons. From a hayseed of the country I have come to look forward to a college edu- cation and after that I hope to get a job as cartoonistif I learn my line. CLEMAN SILVERS: Born May 4, 1911, on a farm near Mt. Victory. Could talk plainly at two years of age. At four I attended school and made miserable those in front of me by the use of pins. My mother and father held council over the .future of such a cruel- son. Ireceived nine whippmgs the first week I was in school and one was added at home on Saturday. When Iwas about eleven years old Ibecame very shy and loved solitude. After CQmPlet11'1g' my freshman year we moved to Somerset because of Soni- efset Hlgh SCl100l. My parents showed their usual good judgment by 'Ch1S move. My classmates have branded me with a number of nicknames but they, Woni t stick to me because none of them are easy to pronounce. MY ambition is to write. - ' l .foo owl ololoofl' 5 . f '1 iole: iTS W' l and goo 11125 lu' dm, bot new! mlly,2l1C-Gd W I oeo 1605- 1 .1naW25'2 Ci oooooolo-W ool be 25 ZW 3 loooo.

The engine may be the best General Motors has ever made, its driver may have driven with care and consideration, oil, water, and gas may have been supplied freely: spark plugs may have been kept clean, but nevertheless, the car will eventually need overhauling. Us- ually, a used car is traded in and the factory puts all the good parts to new uses. -In a way a class is like a shipment of ears. Ever so often, a new class supplants the old. The new engines in the new cars may or may not be as good as the old ones. Every engine will, with use, develop knocks. Ourclass of 1927 knocks no other class. Such forbearance we have learned in our four years is the best way to treat those who are to take our places and learn by experience. The following knocks upon the faculty are prompted by no malice, but spring from a desire to hold our mirror up to them. Mr. Reiley CBig Bill Reileyj, was the reason you got mad when some one drew a picture of you on the black board that the picture didn't portray your Palmolive complexion and your beautiful hair? Miss Spalding, you must be a great lover of human nature. You believe in mam. Miss Cox, you were very heartless to have those Sohiscargu pins removed from certain sweaters. You are too strict about affairs of the heart. Miss Rogers, your Gypsy Rover made a big hit, but don't let that make you vain. We notice you wear your best hat to school these days. Dimples and music are good aids to popularity but don't overwork them. Mr. Mershon, you think you are the man on the soda box. You shouldn't practice your hammering during chapel. We can't hear the program for your noise. Miss Johnson, your cooking course is mighty sweet this year. There never have been so many cakes made in that department before. l Mr. Harms, you are from Iowa and we know you think. Iowa is paradise, but just because Coolidge didn't sign the Farm Relief Bill 1S no reason to take your spite out on us. v fl' il iliillll 03 ,,'TlTc1 -.Srolmcrsct Idea s Miss Allie Fowler, this is the time of year when you worry and fret over your Senior dresses. We sympathize with you so we boys are going to have our suits tailored elsewhere. Mr. Phillips, your taste for Southern cookery will give you dyspep- sia if you don't quit stuffing cake and pie to please the cookery teacher,- Miss Collins, what do you see way up there where your head is X? It is lucky you drew a pretty face for you are entirely too tall for any- thing but an athlete and you can't play basket ball always. Mr. Shearer, you must like to teach to take on a class after school. You talk so loudly it disturbs other classes in the building, too. James Rayborn Moore declares he is no louder than you. Mr. Daniel, you must be heir to a fortune judging from your Sporty clothes and smart Studebaker car. You keep late hours with your ty radio, too. We fear your heart is a little light for the heavy work of teaching. Mr. Miller, dear old Pard! You have behaved well all year but the Annual brought you out in your true disposition. You got it all out of your system printing those ads. H ' Mrs. Hill, you have run this High School for seven years with no room, no desk, no secretary but don't forget you always had the entire gang of us helping you, -and oh, those Venus erasers and Veriblack pencils helped, too. Mr. Hill, you are a good photographer and we thank you for the million pictures pou have taken but you must admit that wind and rain didn't help the looks of the girls, and you didn't soften a bit when they looked wild . Wilson Gregory, you do very swell when you can, control your temf per, but you let it get the best of you sometimes. You should improve your disposition. Yvonne Truby, you came from Burnside bringing with you those haughty expressions. If you had worked harder on your history maps instead of that 'map' of yours, commonly referred to as the face, you would have better history grades. Carleen Murphy you can play basket ball fairly well, and you can see well enough without Specks. Clyde Thurman, the fellow in the circus nine feet and nine inches tall does not hold a thing on you if you would straighten up your should- ers and draw the kinks out of your backbone. i Clara Baisley, if you would come to school once in a while and study Just H Wee, wee bit you would have a better standing before the Judge.

Elva Ridings, may be you're good-looking but you know it. In school you are everywhere but at the right place. Mary Elizabeth Weddle, you can sing like a jay-bird and wail like 3, weeping-willow but I have heard your voice when it was as strong as Hercules's. Mary Sloan, you may be bright but you can't keep the sun from shining. Helen Sloan, you are too meek. If you were a lamb it would be dif- ferent, but a little bah! once 'in a while would sound well. Omar Warren, we all know that you are the chewing gum furnisher of the school. I think you would be in better favor with all your teachers if you would cut 06 the supply. Ralph Woodall, you should go to Brazil with your honorary grades. Elza Beasley, you live in the country and all that, but why are you so bashful? Why not play us a tune on the French harp? It seems to scare you to death when a teacher smiles at you. Etelka Hurt, you are not a pet but you do look it. You should pose for a colonial picture. At present you are wasting your time in a silly love affair. Cleman Silvers, I thought you were proud but you have fallen too low for that. I think we should ostracize you from the Senior Class as you have disgraced it by falling iu love with a Freshman. Did she come from Burtontown? George Davis, aristocratic is no name for your haughty appearance. You seem to think yourself aloof from your fellow classmen. Girdler Norfleet, did you ever find that unknown in chemistry? Perhaps it was neither organic nor inorganic matter but of the feminine species x. You are too good-looking to run around loose. Some girl will land you and when she does you will land hard. Lelia Inabnitt, you are so quiet we sometimes wonder whether you have ever been taught to speak. W. P. Gragg, if you were the President's son it would be diierent, but remember you can't put on airs with us. You may go out of town to get your dates but it's because you have to. Virginia Gover, why is it you are nearly always late to school? Per- haps it is because you are doing your daily dozen to reduce. Pauline Gragg, if you were alittle more free in your Speeflh YOU wouldn't have to be pumped in order to receive your gI'adeS. fl' Il li Sill!! I iigomccrsci Idea . Lawton Hargis, if you didn't have to be pumped and pumped for your intelligence you would do better. Open up your mouth and get the cob-webs off your lungs. Margaret Beattie, oh! but you have an attraction for Seniors. Es- pecially the strong men. Why not bestow some of your comely ways on weaker boys. You give them courage on the field, but in classes their thoughts wander. Robert Bruce Waddle, you can play football, basket ball, baseball and pushpin, but remember ,you do not yet dwell among those whom men call immortal. Emory Dale Inman, you inspire some boys but two boys at the same time living in different towns makes it rather easy, Don't cha know Your pretty clothes and good looks ought to catch any little 'fcollitch bo . . Y David Tibbals, who told you that you could sing? If you depend on your voice for a living you're sure to land in the poor house Raymond Roy, you ought to know that you can't make us believe you are a poet because you drink out of the old oaken bucket Russell Hurt, why is it the girls never call you Rusty ? Perhaps it is because you are too fast. Slow up as you go through Danville en- route for Georgetown. Virginia Baker, we all know you are the baby of our class, but why don't you be more sociable? Laugh, never giggle. Vonas Hargis, we all know you are IT spelled in capital letters but nevertheless, your looks belie it. If you weren't so conceited your class would like you better. You ought to accept that proposal from that girl you were telling me about. 4 Carol Hunt, may be you can singibut I doubt it, as your favorite ex- pression is To-by . Better leave the Ram alone and look for the trouble under the engine. . Katharine Pettus, who did you select for your ideal? Miss Collins? Come down and visit us a while. Don't try to be awatch tower. How in the world do you ever get dresses long and thin enough? Christine Holladay, why are you so quiet? Is it because you are ig norant? You look intelligent. Why not tell the world a few things that heretofore it has never heard? Bertram Shoopman, we don't think much of a fellow who will take a girl from another boy because he is out of town. Serves you right that she gipped you, too. -OpalDenney, you are the only girl in your family, and are badly spoiled, but you seem to forget that weeping and bluff never put any one through Somerset High School. You have to work. I 1,9- 51323 -:Jr ' .ff-I ' ur ag!!! IVY! 'EKIV Fi' Fl lem wg A alleles nm-1 217321 il 'wi milflri fifth!

' Alice Duncan, you just miss being good looking. You are too languid. You should get a little pep of your own rather than depend on Zip , Robert Dills, if you would wear your natural serious expression in- stead of that silly grin people would give you credit for the intelligence you have. Lois Patterson, how have you escaped a love affair in school? Your pretty eyes and intelligence should cause some one to fall. Crystal Hargis, you pretend to be indifferent to all boys but we know how you act when the 'Duke' comes around. You are only waiting to be a Duchess. ' Blanche Woods, just because your sister is a music teacher is no reason why you should think you can criticize everything we play. Charita Lewis, the baby stare is not your lineg you should not copy your sister Mattie's methods. Helen Hines, you should take breathing exercises to strengthen your feeble voice. Don't take such a dainty whisper to college. They won't like it there. Ruth Taylor, you may be Mr. Miller's pet printer but you are a mighty poor sport. Your behavior in defeat proves it. Clifton Neikirk, you look innocent but you are always looking through dark glasses and seeing specks on the sun. Robert Ballou, we know she likes your red hair but you should be' more careful with her letters. Ruby Groseclose, if you would stop riding in that new Chevrolet you could put your mind on your lessons and then you wouldn't look so dis- couraged about all you have to do to graduate. Cabbell Owens, you may be little in stature but in will power no one surpasses you. If that will power were ever aimed at a girl she would be falling yet. Edna Denton, you live in the country, you milk cows, you have two brothers and two sisters, a mother-and a father, you go to the First Baptist church. We know your entire personal history but none of it is very interesting. Your words have no meaning and you are a bore. Reed Cundiff, we know you are editor-injchief of our paper, but you are not an authority on all subjects. In editing the' romances. which go into the paper you have to turn to your associate editor, Cleman Silvers. Homer Neikirk now pleads for mercy frgm h1S fifty C1-2SSm3'C9S whom he has slammed.

Q S ligfillrlf-M. I rami - J UN IORS The renown of the Juniors is largely due to the intensive Work of a few determined groups. Sam Kennedy has raised Physics to a plane of popu- larity by his deep pleasure in studying it. He has made such converts as Lena Sears, Carrie Dick, Dahlia Bullock, Hettie Sears, Ferne Gooch, and Bertie Porch Ingram. Jean Gibbs has so much art talent that the room becomes a studio when she enters. Paul Cundiii' and Ferne Gooch like Art almost as well. George Mills and Bush McKinney have set a standard for captains and athletes. Luther Tibbals and James Rayborn Moore like scouting. J. R., being an orator, can tell us all about it. The girls in our class don't carry vanity cases. They don't need to. They are naturally good looking. Bertie Porch Ingram, Dorothy Inman, and Ruth Davis, for examples. When the world gets unsteady we can call on our Atlases. Chester Cope- land, James Tucker, and Ray McKinney are safe supports. If it is music you think we lack, you have forgotten that Katherine Sit- ton, Ferne Gooch, Ruthella Haynes, and Bertie Porch are Juniors. .,.., - 4 N M 1- ' -.c , 1 fu Y 5 fri., sv' pr' MV ggiv' wif' ,F ,n Qu' ,gil ,mil gf! ,H pil ai! gi I Lg,-iii' hi .3 Qi I fn 234' f: far FIG 3-r' If hun 5 LJ4 iii 133 :naw E2 Eg wh-- ,. ...f VHF-vi fu in -Tb TM If: if 3, fif 'fr .WM les -N, .

A few beauties like Virginia Waddell, Thalia Johnson, Virginia Adams, and Mary King Montgomery, a few athletes like Julian Shoopman, Ray Girdler, George Hill, and James McKinney, a sheik like Harry Talbot, a few scouts including Porter Barnett, Gordon Ruffner, Cecil Hall, Albert Kiser, and Richard Tib- bals we have, but when we think of sophomores we think of the music and song made by Virginia Hunt, Virginia Adams, and Mary King Montgomery, we think of Gerald Doolin, Leland Flora, Dick Tibbals, and Coay Russell in- formed of the interesting adaptations and discoveries in science and ready to inform others, we feel proud of our good artists, Marian Ellis, Albert Kiser, Coay Russell, Marcella Britton, and Anna Russell Oatts. No one discovers any Latin in us nor are our girls good cooks but we shine in society, and dancing on Saturdays is our favorite indoor sport.

The Poster Advertising Company prize for the best poster made during the year went to Margaret Beattie. ol :L alum' snip ' Tm somerset Idea Z-.. Art Department Notes .g..l.1. The art department has had an exciting year. Out of the complex or- chestration of calls for thumb tacks when the box has long since been emptied, demands for more white paint, rash threats coming from owners of misplaced poster boards, and dirty paint brushes, crashes of draftsmen's chairs sat upon in an undraftsmanshiplike manner, moans from potters whose clay has crack- ed from too sudden drying, and challenges from the mechanical drawing classes whose plates 'will not work out', and occasional curtain lectures be- cause of untidy rooms and enamel which has accidentally made its way' into the sink, there have come many very interesting creations. Besides the usual study of color, draftsmanship, art history, and design, we have done a great deal of craft work. The classes in crafts were always busy making decorative objects for their rooms at home, or scarfs, handker- chiefs, or sleeves to wear. Gladys Moore, Opal Denney, Anna Russell Oatts, and Ferne Gooch made particularly successful lamp shades. Obera Barnettls lamp shade in tones of violet was the first thing to sell from the art booth in the Christmas Bazaar. We think we could have sold three more just like it. There have been dozens of book ends made. Among the most interest- ing were those of Willie Bogle, decorated by a desert scene in blue and orange, Carroll Stone's three white rabbitsg Mary Evelyn Allen's cottage' on the hilltopg Jean Gibbs's clowns, Virginia Hunt's fox-terriersg Ruth J armer's Airedale Kennels, and James McKinney's landscape. But James wasn't through when he inished his own book ends, -he had to cut the tin and help mix the enamel for every girl in the 1:45 class. Virginia Baker made her second paintex and batik scarf. The dragons sit on it in their maze of crackle not at all as if they had come from the imagination of an amateur. Margaret Candler and Clara Baisley also made interesting scarfs with circular unit designs on them. Emory Dale Inman has made accessories enough to furnish an entire room. A rose lamp base of pottery, a parchment shade for it, candle sticks, book ends, and light shields were all worked out from a color scheme of ivory and rose. Three boys have distinguished themselves in pottery: Cecil Hall for his workmanship, Robert Rainwater and William Link for the ease with which they work and the fun we get from looking at the clown masks they created for their wall pockets. Those faces came right out of a circus. tl I if if ,vi .fy , 1, in 4 'Z fl 'Q I . gtk dlyallili.

This club is organized for a two-fold purpose. First, it gives students particularly interested in art an opportunity to work out individual problems which cannot be included in the curriculumg Second, it gives the High School a regular working group upon which it may depend for decora- tions for special occasions, such as banquets, bazaars, and commencement, for Annual designs, and for any other art work which may be needed. The officers for the year 1926-'27 are: Reed Cundiff, president, Jean Gibbs, vice president, Virginia Hunt, secretary. Sohiscargu held its third annual initiation party, Wednesday evening, November seventeenth, in the skylight room. It was a wild night, the storm outside helped the program committee in their efforts. The shrieks of the initiates almost wrecked the play practice of 'The Merchant of Venice' which was going on in the auditorium. The new members taken into the club at this time were: Virginia Baker, Marcella Britton, Thalia Johnson, Albert Kiser, Anna Russell Oatts, Coay Russell. Emory Dale Inman was made an associate member. All members of Sohiscargu now wear small gold palettes with the club emblem, spots of brilliant color for the graphic arts, a bowl for pottery, a castle for architecture, anda pair of dividers for mechanical drawing, on them. This design was made by Willie Kiser of the class of 25. u The chief work for the club this year has been the designing of the etchings and linoleum block cuts for the annual. The etchings which have been made are, 'The Senior Parade' by Paul Cufldiffi 'Thea Faculty Car: toons, and Baldwin's advertisement by Ferne Gooch! SGTHOF. Funny Faces by George Davis and Thalia Johnson. The linoleum block Pflnlfs Wlllcll lllalfe been made are, 'Frontispiece' by Jean Gibbs?

Y L '-' JJTA Sewing and Millfmery Notes The year's new project for Seniors has been costume dolls to illustrate the history of costume through the ages. Miss Fowler's hospitality to these manikins has attracted to her room Greek, Spanish, French, English, Colo- nial, and Indian models. Whether peasant or queen we dress her in beauty and clothe her in charm. Planning commencement dresses begins with a study of color, line, and fabric. Then we draft to individual measurement a form and then design the dress on the form. The cost of a commencement dress may not exceed ten dollars. These are inspected on living models by an expert from the Sewing Department of the University of Kentucky. A prize of ten dollars is given annually by Mr. T. E. Jasper to the girl whose dress is adjudged best as to becomingness, color, line, neatness, seams, hems, finishings and bindings, appropriateness, and time spent in making. The fall hat is the senior's initiation into the ordeal of Miss Fowler's 'standard for seniors'. We are told to bring a piece of buckrum, some old velvet, and bits of ribbon. She supplies the iron and wet rag needed to steam the old materials. We find we need a pin cushion and a great deal of patience before the hats are made becoming. Through the interested patron- age of business people, a window in a down town store is always at our disposal for our millinery exhibit. ' A The notebooks this year are really sample cases. They contain samples of all seams, hems, buttonholes, button sewing, plackets, rufflesy bindings, laces, weaving, and textile designs. Sewing I is a course in garment making. A whole suit of underwear and a cotton or linen dress are made. Textiles are studied and actual weaving of designs in mats is done. Sewing II requires the making of underwear, a cotton dress, and a wool dress. A study of costume design and textiles alternates with the sewing. Home Economics Design projected a very popular problem this year,- the making of a hook rug. This, however, is bait! We have had a course in the study of the principles of design and color in relation to walls, ceilings, and floor coverings, furniture and decoration. We like the part of our course dealing with the history of furniture and decoration as it applies to hOIY19S' The history Of GVGFY Object put into a home is discussed, how carpets came aboutg how furniture developed from the chestg the use of pictures - - - - 1- ' ad infimtum. 1 l 5 P l 'S i F Fad.

H. S. That adding variety to 9, menu is important for health and pleasing to the palate requires no argu- ment. We like to eat What looks good to eat and a beautiful surprise tickles the cook as much as the eater. From the first day the lesson plan is a meal plan. A A Better Foods Habits Campaign started this year has made some correction and elimination in the use of coca colas, coffee, foods between meals and at bedtime. 1 - The usual enthusiasm for contests prevailed in the cake-baking compe- tition. The prizes Won were full sets of cake-making utensils. Thelma McKinney, first, and Mary Hamm, second-best cake makers. Another inter- esting class record was the making of tvventy-four Angel Food cakes in one Week and not a failure. . Home projects have been entered into, outlines of Work written and handed in. A very great effort is being made to get all teaching practiced in the homes. A great deal of valuable material in the Way of booklets of suggestions, charts, and samples come to the kitchen. All this material is distributed to the class members and is taken home to introduce variety there. At the football games Helen Muth and Mamie Meece Wore White aprons and sold doughnuts and lollypops from the school kitchen, and our own pro- ducts sold better than the store ice cream and coca cola. The class in Household Science has constructed ideal homes with all mod- ern built-in conveniences on pages of note-books, --a sort of hope chest home for future reference. Marketing and laundering have been added to this year's course. For four months each year personal budgets are kept. After that, family budgeting can be discussed with some expectation of practice. , ' All in all, We are a practical lot of young housekeepers.

HTF: 5 ' 1 l 'lt I illlidm -is The. Sofngg-531, lr ld.'a Inu s Ghosts Walk In Library ,, , I remember a drowsy feeling and the hum of voices. I then find myself in in our library, alone. .It is night and all is still as death. The doors are locked and the 'room is dark except for the moonbeams which stray in through the windows. The busts of Lincoln, Poe, and Longfellowpeer at me from their niches. I begin to have a feeling of loneliness which so overpowers that I am condensed into a spirit. I then soar above Miss Propst's desk, I float around to the busts on the shelves and ask them a way out of this gloom, butxthey answer me not. I return again and, lo! I find the books are overcast with a luminous glow and the books have them- selves turned into spirits. Being. lonely, I flee to them. I am greeted by Penrod who asks about the health of his young friends. He remarks with a hurt feeling that he' was introduced to me a few years ago but that I have passed him without speaking. since then. Penrod then took me to the Convention of the Books which he told me was for the purpose of enlight- ening the world. Around a table of gold ,sat all thesages fromfthe days of Grecian glory to the year of 1927. On this table there were 'huge .silver platters, golden goblets, and diamond-studded trays, all laden with knowledge, fruits of knowledge, rich wines of knowledge, and bread of knowledge. A dim white light pervaded this table of luxuries which cast an uncertain, cold feeling over me. ASI gazed at this table laden with knowledge I was appalled at the immensity of it. I was trembling with my own lack of knowledge when it have been so abundantly offered me for fifteen years. My Splflt asked those present: 'Have I not partaken of this food?' The dim outline of a noble book arose at the head of this table and in a ringing cold voice replied, My boy, of the great amount of food we . offer, of the great amount you are capable of devouring, you have taken l1ttle,j ah! very little. It was only then that I noticed those who sat around th1S table with their treasures in front of them. Shakespeare's representatives sat very stifflbf and fffect but you h tell by their countenances that treasures were at the d1sD0Sal of those lifts would work fand some say Shakespeare's characters are amiable folhi X11 u their acquaintancesb. VIrving's books were stern in their splendor an t .eff throats seemed lined with Latin derivatives. The Mark Twain gang cer ain y could fag :I nammn -is The .Somerset Idea Y Q were merry fellows and they mentioned several of their friends who were mortals. They spoke of O'Leary Meece, and asked where Ivan Kelly might be. Cold and grim sat Bismark, the Man and His Works and the goblet in front of him was brimming full of Germany in her making. Carlyle's sil- very voice laden with golden phrases broke the stillness of the room. The haughty voice of the author of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage sounded ringing and clear above the childish prattle of the juvenile section. The books of science were most all strangers to me and so, held themselves aloof. They seemed to be waiting to saturate some scientific mind not with nice sounding phrases but with stony facts. The food in front of them was neither the mellow fruits of Irving nor the wine of Shakespeare but was coarse bread in unlimited amount. The Call of the Wild was neither stern nor stiff but was restless and ever looking northward to the land of snow and ice. The representatives of James Lane Allan looked over their golden gob- lets with the dreamy eyes of the land of the Blue Grass. Histories, gloomy and gay, histories which had looked calmly upon bat- tles where human blood flowded freely, sat behind their goblets of the past and looked at me with steely eyes undimmed by age. I looked into a cup which sat before an old history and saw Madame Roland being led to the guillotine. I saw the storming of the Bastile. There were shouts of horror, war,blood, and smoke. A very old history spoke of Egyptian days, of the throning and dethro- ning of kings. All at once I noticed a silence, the spirits became quiet. Even the Curwood boys became quiet. The silver trays gleamed and the gold sparkled in the cold uncertain light and in the distance a small boy ap- peared. He was in rags. As he walked slowly down from heaven I could see that he was ragged, poor, dirty and neglected but the books rose one and all with bowed heads and great reverence and offered their rich foods to his hungry mind. As he devoured them greedily, he outgrew his rags, and then, out of etherial space a ------- what a dream? and in the very best part Miss Propst says, Cleman Silvers, if you have to sleep, you may as well go home. -C.

It has been 3, Successful season. Ten games were played, seven were won, two were lost' one was tied. ' Our victories were over- teams worthy of the contest, Danville D. and D. Frankfort, Harlan, Stanford, Paris, Lexington. Our defeat at Middlesborcg was unexpected and not indicative of our fighting strength, the defeat by Louisville Manual was expected, but the game was a plucky exhibition of football sense and good cleats in the spine, so, we don't mind meeting any- one who saw the Briar Jumpers tackle Manual's Crimsons on October 23, in Louisville. Our tie with Danville was an unintentional bit of courtesy to a visiting team. We shall exact the odds when we play there in 1927. Lex- ington is the game that calls out all our football experience. That game is the fitting climax to our double-digit schedule. Stoll Field in Lexington was the grid on which we tackled. The score was, Somerset 12-Lexington 6. Two fine teams, mud deep and slick, day dark and damp, a great sport to be thankful for each year on Thanksgiving day. This game brought the close to the high school careers of the following men: Captain Bob Bruce Waddle, popular leader and dependable line-smash- er, kicker and passer, Bert Shoopman who was built for punishment and sometimes gave the opponents a little, for instance, in the Stanford game, Cabbell Owens, too light for the task but valiant in performing at half- back, -he let Danville know when to stop, Ralph Woodall, hard worker and often a valuable factor, David Tibbals, a good substitute who would have been a regular in another year, Russell Hurt, a close student of the game, sports writer when not substituting himself, Omar Warren, the senior with the sublime disposition! Though not On the first team he furnished his part of the scrimmage which made a first team. The men who will return to carry on Somerset's kind of football next season are: Mills, our game little quarterback whom Paris christened Mercury , Ray McKinney C Bush J our charging fullback who plays foot- ball in all its sternest, proudest sense, J im McKinney, who Was made 3 center and became a good one, Mucci, our star tackle and husky guard who loves football better than his life, Tucker, whose guarding g6'CS better and bet' ' n . c ill 'l -- - ' mv ' y It .

The success of mln? was the '26 team can largely be attributed to his ability to maintain cooperation, ml Kas 'll harmony, and fighting spirit. Somerset never possessed a captain more e, alia whole-heartedly interested in the welfare of the Briar Jumpers. Respected .llelelsalllfll ability as a football player made the opponents keep all eyes open.

W il' I if-lin' 'Ill 5 ' The 'Soimcfisitl-I lam S p From obscurity to stardom. Short of stature, strong of heart. When LUTHER TIBBALS says, They shall not pass -they usually don'tl!! Action speaks louder than words and, he sure does act. He will be back to fight for Somerset next year. DAVID TIBBALS got a late start for a football career, but made up for lost time and proved to be dependable in the pinches. Graduation takes him from the ranks of the Briar Jumpers to college to continue his football am- bitions. A product of the Rose-Tulip Era. Just a Sophomore with lots of time for- development. RAY GIRDLER has a very bright future. Size, strength, determination make him a possible luminary of the future. The Freshman class should be proud of its representative on the foot- ball team. O'LEARY MEECE is going to be a hard man to get around, as an end. Added experience will increase his potential ability and he will find himself next year. He is a quiet, consistent, 'hard worker that deserves much credit and praise. SULLY MONTGOMERY and WORTHINGTON BARNETT are a couple of youngsters that are being groomed to fill the vacancies in next year's back- field. Both have natural ability, and, with the past campaign to season them for real action, they are going to be hard to stop. A little light at present, but speed in abundance. Hard tacklers, wide awake, both are interested in football, and have plenty of time to develop. They are sure to make good. JAMES 'Tush-Hog' MCKINNEY has been a veritable center, a center of physical characteristics of football technique and of mental activities. His weight increased the average of the team. His strength encouraged those of less vitality. He was the hinge of all the team play. By applying the oil of determination he never allowed this hinge to screech. At times the hinge was inclined to turn slowly at practice- just laziness-but in the games it was Jim who raced the team from one end of the field to the other when the ball was changed at the quarter. Here is a player diminutive in size but one composed of grit, determina- tion, constancy and faithfulness. On the offense he had initiative. On the defense he was dependable. In all he was a success. Therefore, he was a warrior worthy of praise, admiration, cheers, and applause. In one guess we would say HCABBELL OWENS , the lad with the courageous heart. BERTRAM SHOOPMAN, pleasing personality, liked by his teammates 5 feared by his opponentsg possessor of a powerful drive which was difficult to stop, whenever all power was applied: a senior who will be missed next year. 95' 'il ilfl' ll! Q!! I Tlftz, Sandler-.gait Ideal u A world of action in one man-that's ROY KISSAM on the football field. He's a hard tackler. If the opponent drops the ball Roy has em- braced him. If a lineman is out of the play Roy's shoulder is hindering him. A consistent, never-relenting fighter. JAMES , Hox TUCKER, the man Who covered the ground both in size and in action. He was a tackle who could perceive and diagnose plays: a tackle who could open the way for the backs to run. There should be no limit to his playing next year. GEORGE HILL has been a progressive student of football this season. He has displayed unusual ability as a lineman. With this enlightenment as to the responsibilities of the guard position he should increase his value to the team of '27. There's J ULIAN 'Showhorse' SHOOPMAN, calm and relaxed, but stern and immovable by the opponents. He was the end, and very often he was the end of the opponents' plays. Keep an eye on him next year! RALPH WOODALL, a senior, has been a victim of injuries, but he possessed a spirit of bravery in spite of these odds. At all times he has shown his reliability, readiness, and sincerity. This is the type of player that will be missed next season. There are the traits ofa football player in SAM KENNEDY. He is conscientious, faithful, and a hard-Worker. He has taken advantage of all opportunities in the line and this indicates a successful season for him in '27. ROBERT Bobby NEWTON is one of the discoveries of the season. By his fight and endurance he rose to a status of attention and trial. A perennial position! He'll show us next year! HOWARD HUFF, a sub-end, is recognized for his powerful defense. He is willing to work, and has a supply of endurance. He should be a strong contestant next year. Scrubs i 'DICK' WEDDLE is daring and earnest, with undeveloped qualities which needs Will demand time to disclose. ' i 'NORNIE' TATE has been willing and versatile to try any of the line positions. After this year of exploration he should be able to prepare him- self for any call. U 1 I OMAR 'Bunnie' WARREN furnished his part of the opposition in the scrimmages, Loyal to the last day of practice. His sternness will be missed next year. 'RUSTY' HURT, a senior, who was not discouraged by punishment nor moved by praise. His willingness won the admiration of all. ll!! 1 M926 SP ashed P l' I Th . Althouglli fora Km ',kiH- .

A I Their ruggedness, equaled only by the Pulaski Hills from whence they came ,-is the impression Somerset left on Lexington fans aS the Bum' Jumpers splashed, slid, waded, fought, and earned a victory 35 3 Cllmax to the 1926 Football season. 1 l A Q - v T lg ..-:Juan mn The .Somerset Idea Seniors giving their best: Veterans equal to the testg New men playing like veterans: Subs on the side line doing the rest! The Blue Devils couldn't beat the Briar Jumpers because Somerset did not leave home with any such idea in mind. The outstanding reasons for a Briar Jumper victory were: A hard-charging, wide awake line. Mucci, Kissam, L. Tibbais, J. McKinney, G. Hill, J. Tucker, and J. Shoopman prov- ed to be a stone wall on defense and a moving van on. offense. Lexington's swan song was, Thanks for the buggy ride , as Somerset's Four Mud- sters , galloped spiritedly behind the onslaught of the Big Purple . The score and playing honors were about equal at the half, but while the spectators were eating peanuts and making mudpies in the stadium, the Briar Jumpers were getting up steam for an undeniable victory when they again dashed out on Stoll field. Such handicaps as fumbles, wet field, breaks , injuries, did not daunt Somerset's spirit. Ray McKinney's grit and ability to play minus the service of one eyeg Captain Waddle and Shoopman making interference and connect- ing with passes: Mill's adaptability to the situation and ability to carry the water-soaked pigsking Jim McKinney's perfect passing from center: the aggressiveness of the linemeng the moral support of the substitutes on the side-line,-produced a mixture that was hard for Lexington to digest and assimilate in one afternoon, and, as a result, the Devils were just a wee bit Bluer as they washed the mud from their eyes and stared at a 12-6 score. Five Seniors played their last and gave their best. Although some did not get to play long, all shared in the afternoon's task of defeating Lexing- ton, and graduating with a sweet taste of victory. 1927 Prospects With the sound of punted pigskins still echoing the season of 1926, a speculative ear is already open to chatter on Who is Who among the. candidates for next season's campaign. Looking into the dim horizon, many bright and protruding luminaries can easily be seen. Such stars as, Bushog McKinney, George Mills, Jim McKinney, Hooks Tucker, Eppie Hill, Roy Kissam, Vic Mucci, Luther Tibbals, Showhorse Shoopman, from a coustellation that should brighten the hopes of all Briar Jumper followers.

Sher- man, president of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs, in an announcement of the finding of the Federation's nation-wide survey on What women want in their homes. I The Federation's survey covered 445,987 homes scattered through 237 communities. It showed that 87 per cent of the homes had electric lightsg 73 per cent had electric ironsg 65 per cent had inside sanitary arrangements, 59 per cent bath tubsg 75 per cent kitchen sinksg and -60 per cent stationary washtubs. There were automobiles for 70 per cent of the homes. There is nothing that will furnish home eiiiciency as quickly and effectively as electricity, the cheapest item in the family budget, she says. While we are groaning over the high cost of living, it is pleasant to realize that the price of electricity is no higher than before the war. The purpose of the stock-taking survey is to lift high and clear the doctrine that home-making for the 25,000,000 families from which the nation is drawing its citizens is an industry of transcend- ing dignity and importance to the country 5 that a century's de- velopments in public utilities have established a vital- and insepara- ble relation between home and community administration, and that continued successful home management now requires from women homemakers a conscious and careful adjustment of methods and facilities to the new social order. Efficiency in the home is even more important than in offices and factories. In the latter it means merely the saving of time and moneyg in the home it means the saving of something more precious still, time diverted from drudgery into the more vital work of home- making, where the home-maker keeps the job of housekeeping in the background and sees the home in its deep, broad relation to life.
