THE TATTLER Published annually during the school year by the students of the St. Anthony High School MAY, 19 18 Volume VII Number V mm it in Dedication iiiiMiuiiiiiiiiiiimi mi min miimiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiimiiniiiim hi in FOR THE INESTIMABLE SER- VICE BEING RENDERED OUR COUNTRY IN THIS PRESENT CRISIS, AND AS A PARTIAL REWARD FOR UNSELFISH SERVICES EXPENDED FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THIS INSTITUTION, WE DEDICATE THIS VOLUME OF THE TAT- TLER TO OUR CLASSM ATES IN THE SERVICE I ' age I ' onr N the publication of this type of annual there is involved a large amount of work for all members of the Staff. Where the material must, be assembled, censored, corrected, typed and put in order for the publisher, you may be sure that it requires much laborious work. We do not profess to have a perfect annual in this number, but do contend that the work which it necessitated has been expended to the very best of our ability to make it as nearly perfect as it is in our power to do so. Of course there will he criticisms, just ones, too, but we expect them. In looking back thru the works of our predecessors we find Tattlers of very high merit, but they are commencement numbers of monthly editions. In editing a monthly paper there is not so much work for the entire term as there is in editing a first-class annual. This year we have toiled with the hopes that this number of The Tattler will receive the approbation of all who take the opportunity to read it, because it has been our mirpose to have its pages vital, alive with the events and all activ- ities of this closing year. Our one paramount object in editing this paper is to inform the public of the various branches of the school which, we are sorry to say, are unfamiliar to many. e trust that this number will brush most of the unfavorable contentions from the minds of all those people who believe (but do not know) this institution is hardly worth while. To each and every member of the staff, consisting of twenty persons, must be given the credit for this number. It is the largest staff The Tattle r has ever had. thereby making its success due to a larger number of the Student-Body. Page hive STAFF R. Ray Adams Verner Stoddard .. John G.

In the hotel lobby of the town of Brenton a small group of the town sportsmen were gathered talking about the game the Blue Ridge League was to play on the following day between Brenton and DuMont. This game was to decide the championship of that League, and had been looked forward to with tense joy and keen expectations. As the close of the season had grown nearer and nearer, excitement had risen and interest became intense. While these men were loudly talking and arguing among themselves as to the best team of the two, a tall young man, about the age of twenty-five, entered the lobby. His appearance was that of a clean-cut athlete, with the typical broad shoulders, and long arms ; his whole body was lithe and well poised. He sat down near the small congregated crowd of men, pulled a newspaper from his pocket and commenced poring through its columns. He had not been reading long when the manager of the Brenton baseball team came in, accom- panied by several of his players, and joined the crowd of men. “I will bet you four to one, Nelson, that you lose tomorrow’s game,” said one of the men to the Brenton manager. “I refuse to bet money on a team that I’m managing,” replied Nelson. “I will take a thousand with you, on that four-to-one proposition,” came a voice outside the crowd. Turning around they saw the young man in a grey suit approaching them. “Who is it who wants to make that bet?” he inquired. “I do,” was the reply of the luck-man. The next day was a live one in Brenton. At 2 o’clock the band was playing- on the streets, and a general unrest and commotion was noticeable all around the little city. At 3 o’clock people were swarming by the hundreds to the ball park to witness the championship contest between these two fast aggregations. Soon the grandstands and bleachers were packed to capacity with ardent lovers of the national pastime. At 3 :30 the batteries for the respective teams were announced by the umpire : “For DuMont, Anderson and Webb ; for Brenton, James and Dodge. Play ball !” The game was on ! The Brenton players trotted to their respective positions and James commenced loosening his salary arm. After pitching several balls to his catcher, Dodge, the umpire commended, Play ball ! The first batter to the plate for DuMont was a short man, and as he took his position he crouched low over the plate, drew his bat back to his shoulder and carefully scrutinized his opponent in the box. James received a signal from his catcher, but be shook his head negatively. The signal was changed, and James began a slow wind-up. “Ball one!” announced the ' umpire, as the horse-hide landed into the catcher’s mit, a little high of its mark. The little batter for the DuMont team displayed his craft very cleverly. He again assumed his crouching position, only this time he crouched still lower. His plan being to draw free trans- portation to first base. Page Twenty-two THE TATTLER Tames changed his pace, and delivered a cross-fire across the plate, waist high. The batsman passed it by and the umpire annouced it a strike. 1 he people in the stands applauded this decision and showed their approbation by waving pennants and Hags. Again the Brenton moundsman delivered another strike across the rubber, and once more a sullen roar rang out from the stands and bleachers. The next delivery went as a ball, and James suavely walked toward the plate, recovered the ball, and slowly returned to the pitcher ' s box. He now studied his antagonist for a little while, then he stepped in the box, raised his hands far above his head, drew them back down and delivered the ball with mighty force across the plate. The umpire called, Batter’s out! James retained his poise over the mound, and the people’s joy once more became tumultuous. For five innings the game continued without a score on either side. Several times the DuMont team filled the bases, but James, collecting his surplus strength, would retire the side in rapid succession each time. Anderson likewise was pitching a ma rvelous game, and holding the Brenton team to only a few hits, which he kept well scattered. It was a pitcher’s duel — a game in which all depended upon the endurance of the pitchers. Meanwhile, in the stands, a murmur was creeping here and there. “Who is this man James? He is not one of the regulars.” This was the question being asked all through the stands and bleachers, but no one could make a definite reply. They simply knew he was not on the regular pitching staff ' . In the seventh inning the excitement reached a climax. Brenton had suc- cessfully advanced men to second and third bases, respectively. A roar greeted James as he took up his position in the batter ' s box. Then the noise subsided ; everything became quiet, only the coachers’ voices could be heard, now and then, instructing the base-runners. The opposing pitcher coolly stood behind the mound, looking first at James, and then at the man on third. He slowly walked to the mound — then, like a flash, he whirled and delivered the ball to — second base. The second baseman received the throw, tagged his man and heaved the ball to home plate to head off the runner scrambling from third. The ball beat the approaching runner and he was out. A perfect play, and executed with dex- terity and precision. This is how it is performed : The runner on second knew he could take a good lead and yet not draw a throw from the pitcher. The man on third also could take a good lead and yet play safe. As pitcher Anderson stepped into the box and was facing his opposing slabster, something happened that is termed as the inside game.” It is something that the fans seldom if ever detect; they see the play, they see the men tagged out, the pitcher’s delivery, but they do not know how or what brought about the conditions that caused the men to be put out. The DuMont catcher, seeing the man on second was taking a long lead, de- cided to chance a play that must be executed in perfect harmony to make it suc- cessful. He reached to the ground and carelessly picked up a few small peb- bles and tossed them to one side. The second baseman, knowing what this move meant, simply removed his cap and replaced it on his head. The catcher then put his mit against his head, and the “wireless communications” were completed. The pebble throwing was a signal to the pitcher that the runner on second was taking a long lead. The second baseman removed his cap to acknowledge receipt of the signal also. The mit to the side of the catcher’s head was a signal to deliver the ball to second base immediately. Thus all the men taking part in this little- stage drama knew what to do. Of course, the moment these signals were flashed, which only took a few seconds, every man knew exactly what was going to take Page Twenty-three THE TATTLER place. Instantly the ball was to second base, and on its flight back to the plate, where it stopped a score. A “double” play. This play caused loud applause in the DuMont bleachers, while in the Brenton stands a murmur of disappointment was audible. James again took his position at the plate. After a short interval, Anderson delivered a “fast one,” shoulder high and in close. James stepped back from the plate and swung terrifically at the flying pellet. Once more the quietude of the { atmosphere was broken. James landed the hall deep in left field, and was scram- bling around the bases. He was rounding third base when the ball began its homeward flight, and he scored just ahead of it, amid a tumult of cheering. This was the first score of the game, and it was now the last of the seventh. After this home-run drive Anderson pulled himself together and retired the side by striking out the next batter for Brenton. The teams changed places, and the look which Anderson gave James was a revengeful one. The eighth inning passed without either pitcher getting in serious danger. James struck out one man and the other two grounded out to short-stop. Ander- son retired the Brenton team by striking out three batsmen in succession. And now the ninth inning started with the score 1 to 0 in favor of the Brenton club. The people in the stands came to their feet, those in the bleachers were kept back by force. The DuMont rooters started a deafening din, as the last act of this paramount game started with the heavy end of the DuMont batting list coming to bat. The first man to the plate for DuMont drove a long fly into deep center. The fielder fumbled the ball, and the runner advanced to second. A shout of rage came from the Brenton stands. Even Manager Nelson, over on the players’ bench, came to his feet, dumbfounded. James received the hall, stepped in the box with a determined scuff of his right foot. He looked at the batter, then at the runner 4 on second. Once more he dug his spike into the pitcher’s mound, and delivered a “spit-ball” to the batter, who missed the lightening drop by several inches. Two more deliveries and the batter was out. The next man up hunted to third base and advanced the runner on second to third by his sacrifice. The follow- ing man also hunted, but James headed it off, whirled and feinted at third, and then threw to first, and made a put-out. When he feinted to third the runner on that base expected a sure throw, and consequently he played safe, and raced back to his base. Thus, when James did throw to first, there was no danger of the man on third scoring. There were now two out and a runner poised on third, ready to race home on anything like a hit. James took his position and waited for the signal. This time he did not wind up, but hurried his delivery to the plate. It went as a strike. His next delivery did not go as it was aimed — a wild pitch and a score for DuMont. Again the rooters gave vent to their feelings, while James slowly assumed his position in the box. With a g raceful wind-up, a swing of his mighty right, a shooting white speck, a feeble swing of the batsman, and a roar of the catcher’s mit, announced the second strike. The same features were duplicated and the beginning of the last half of the ninth inning was at hand. The first two men to the bat for Brenton hit safely, the first man going to third base and the second man advancing to second. The third struck out. The fourth man to make his stand was James. He walked up to the plate, cinched up his trousers, lowered his cap over his eyes, rubbed his hands in the dust, and stood facing the pitcher. Page Twenty-four T H E T A T T L E R The DuMont infield closed up, coming ' far in toward home plate to field a bunt which they all thought inevitable. The runner on third was running back and forth to worry the pitcher. The man on second was doing likewise. The coachers were signaling the runners to “play safe,” and shouting at the pitcher to unstring his nerves. James choked” his bat, as though he intended to bunt. The first ball he let go by and the umpire announced it a strike. The second one was passed up, and it also went as a strike. A cry of protest came from the Brenton bench. “You must make connec- tions, James! Hit the apple!” was their appeal, while the tall young pitcher coolly stood as though he had heard no sound. He now had had two strikes. The DuMont players backed up to their nor- mal positions. They knew James would not bunt, because if he did it had to be a “fair ball” or he would he out. They thought this would be too big a chance for him to take, consequently they backed up for a short hit. Anderson studied James for several seconds. He seemed to be undecided what curve he should give him. James released his choke” on the bat and gripped it at the end. Once more he cast a glance to third, as Anderson com- menced his delivery. As the ball came speeding up, shoulder-high, James slid his right hand down the bat, drew it in front of the ball, and laid a perfect bunt down third base line. The runner on third was flying to the plate while James raced for first. The DuMont third baseman scooped the hall and pegged it home. As the cloud of dust settled, and while the sun was casting its last golden rays across the Brenton hall park. Bill James was shaking hands and receiv ing his four thousand dollars that he had won from the DuMont fan. “Where are you from, James?” inquired the man who had lost the bet. I am from Boston, replied James. “I came out here to rest up a little after my season’s work with the Boston Nationals. I received a severe sprain in my right shoulder and came out here to rest it up a while before the World’s Series. I could not put much stufif” on the ball today on account of that sprain. “Are you Big Bill James of the Boston champions? inquired the gamester. “I am,” replied James. “You did not need to use much “stufif for this game. All you had to do was to use The Weight Above Your Eyes,” answered the loser, as lie left the field. — Editor. Page Twenty-Ike T H E T A T T L E R The Hunt BIG hunt was planned by Wayne Davis, Frank Swartz, Frank Wilson, John Meredith and Jay Fischer, on the coming Friday. The day set for the occasion, was bright and clear, but a little too chilly to suit Frank Swartz, so he remained in the house preparing the grub while the rest of the bunch got the harness and wagon ready. John Meredith, not knowing how to harness a horse, was compelled to ask Jay Fischer ' s assistance. Jay understood all about harnesses, and was very proud to think that he could show John the particulars. At last the outfit was ready, and the party climbed in, hit the horses and were off; but they had not gone far until Wayne remembered that the grub and Frank Swartz were being left behind. Wilson had a hard time turning those horses around on that road, and he complained about the people not making a road more than five rods wide so anyone could turn around without running into the fence. When they reached the starting place, all of them jumped out and ran into the house to see what was wrong with the cook. At once Wayne yelled out, “What’s the matter with you? Come and get in the rig, and don’t sit around that store all day.” “Well,” said Frank, “1 was waiting for these flat irons to get warm.” “Good gosh, what are the flat irons for?” bellowed John Meredith. { “To keep our feet warm while we are riding, of course,” spoke Frank, with the pride of one who has discovered something new. Finally Frank was force ! to leave his nice warm irons and climb into the wagon. Long was the ride that morning from St. Anthony to that great wilderness known as Island Park. Swartz got warm enough to eat lunch at noon, and at eight o ' clock that night they reached their camping place. Jay tended to the horses while the other boys fixed the camp for the night. As none of the boys liked to be out in the dark, they all were very soon sleeping quietly in their beds. They were up before the sun the next morning. Jay let the horses loose, and the others took their guns and started out to get a rabbit or a moose. Wayne was brave, so he took the part of the wilderness where the trees were the thick- est. Poor Wayne hunted all day and was just about back to camp, disheartened over his poor luck, when suddenly there came a crackling in the thick brushes. In a second the gun was at his shoulder and fired in the direction of the sound. Then, like a flash, he was gone to tell Jay and Frank that lie had killed an elk and he wanted the horses to haul him in. Frank and Jay wouldn’t believe this, although they had heard the shot. Jay said, “Well, I have turned the horses loose, and won ' t catch them again until I have seen your elk.” Then the three excited young huntsmen started in the direction where the shot had occurred. Wayne led them to the place where he had fired the shot, and then in the direction where it had traveled. About six rods from the place lay Jay’s big, Page Twenty-six THE TATTLER eight hundred pound gray horse, dead as the dry limbs around him, with a bullet lodged in bis brain. Jay fainted and Frank and Wayne carried him back to camp, where he lay for three hours practically unconscious. In the meantime the other fellows arrived, but none of them had anything except Frank Wilson. He carried a small black bird, and was very proud of it, too. The bird was examined, and it was found that it had a broken wing and had been shot through the head also. This very plainly showed how Frank had got his game. He had been wandering along when suddenly he noticed a small, crippled bird hopping toward him. He became excited at seeing such game be- fore his eyes. Getting behind a tree he put the gun an inch from the bird’s bead and fired. Tbe first shot missed, but the next one took effect, and Frank picked up his game and proudly marched to camp. At last Jay became conscious and said he wanted to go home. Wayne and John were both homesick, and it was quickly decided that they, on the next morn- ing, would take the one remaining horse and go home. The next morning everyone was up early and hurrying with the work, so they could get home as soon as possible. Jav went after his horse, hunted for an hour, and returned with the de- spairing news that the horse could not be found. The only way for them now was to pull the wagon. All the boys were glad to help, but when they had gone about a half mile, Wayne and John gave out and insisted on being hauled. When another half mile had been traveled Jay started to complain about being- tired. so he was put in the wagon with the other little boys, leaving Wilson and Swartz to pull the load. They were big, husky fellows, and didn’t mind that a bit. John said that was much quicker and safer than with lay’s old horses anyway. When good old St. A. was finally reached, Wayne and John ran for home, Swartz and Wilson for the Joint to get some candy, and Jay carried the harness of the lost horses into the stable and there, to his surprise, was his horse that he had failed to find in the park, quietly eating the few leaves of hay left in the manger . — By Kenneth Rosenlof, ' 20. Page Twenty-seven T H E T A T T L E R The Musings of a Marine By Ben Adams, U. S. Marine Corps Every day and night I’m thinking Of the things I left behind; Yet I’m loath to put on paper What is running through my mind. But I think I’ll feel much better. So I guess I’ll take a chance Ere the Regiment is ordered To the shores of sunny France. i We have dug a million trenches; Cleared ten thousand miles of ground: A busier place in all this world I know is never found. We’ve drilled in dust and scorching sun. In mud and driving rain. Till our eyes and ears, our legs and arms Were yelling loud with pain. But there still is consolation — Gather closely while I tell — When we die we’re bound for heaven, “ ‘Cause they done their ‘ hitch in hell!’ ” We’ve built a thousand mess halls, For cooks to stew our beans; We’ve stood a hundred guard mounts And cleaned the camp latrines; We’ve washed a million mess kits, And peeled a million spuds. We’ve rolled a million blanket rolls And cleaned a million duds. The number of parades we ? ve made, Is awfully hard to tell; But we’ll not parade in heaven, For we paraded here in hell. We’ve marched a hundred thousand miles. And made a thousand camps; We have pulled a million cactus thorns From out our well-worn pants. So when our work on earth is done. Our friends behind will tell: ‘‘When they died they went to heaven, ’Cause they done their ‘ hitch in hell!’ ” The “slum” and coffee we have cussed. Likewise the “Willie” canned; We’ve damned the gentle gusts of wind. That filled the air with sand. Page Twenty-eight THE TATTLER W e’ve taken the injections Ten million times or more. And the vaccine scratched upon our arms Has made them very sore. With all these things that get our goats; We are here just to tell. When the order comes t o cross the pond We’ll give the Germans hell. W hen the final taps are sounded. And we lay aside life’s cares. And we do the last and gloried drill, On heaven s shining stairs. And the Angels bid us welcome W hile the harps begin to play, W e can draw a million canteen checks And spend them in a day. It is then we’ll hear St. Peter Tell us gladly, with a yell: Take front seats, all your brave Marines, You’ve done your ‘ hitch in hell!’ ” THE TATTLER A U. S. Marine It surely is great to hear of the men Whose arrays form such grand scenes; But, oh, how you boast, of the men from the coast Composing the U. S. Marines. A Marine is a man who surely knows The trials of a soldier s life ; He is there at the call, each one and all, To brave and to enter the strife. When the ships enter a landing place A Marine is stationed aboard, It’s the same as of old, the winds may be cold, But he ' s there with his gun and his sword. All night be may trample an icy deck, In his face wafts a salty spray. But he stays at his post, which he thinks is his host, And is there at the dawn of day. You may hear of a battle in any coast town Or about some ship that is stranded: The cry that you hear, it does not seem queer. It is: “ The Marines have landed !” In winning the war we now are engaged. Throughout the whole routine, You may bet on your life, that during the strife You ' ll hear of the U. S. Marine. It surely is great to hear of the men Whose arrays form such grand scenes; But, oh, how you boast of the men from the coast Composing the U. S. Marines. — K. Page Thirty THE TATTLER ” A Player’s Dream” It was the last of the ’ leventh , With a man on every base. When the mighty pitcher wearily Climbed the mound with a grimy face. It was a hard old battle. And weary were his nerves; Each time he swung his salary arm Resulted in the curves. He cautiously cast a beaming glance To the man who was on third; His arm shot out with an easy swing. And not a sound was heard. The ball it met the catcher s mit With the crack of a mighty gun; It caught the corner of the plate, And still it saved a run. The crowd wild and excited, But the pitcher, grim and wise, Would watch and figure with his men The opponent’ s very size. Again he stepped upon the mound. Again he grasped the pill; Again the crafty batter stood Close by the base and still. The catcher flashed a signal To the pitcher for an “in,” He gracefully stepped upon the mound Determined for a win. Once more the ball sped to the plate With speed and curve galore. The batter swung with viciousness. And missed the ball once more. Page Thirty-one THE T A T T L E R The pitcher fitted on his cap, Sat down and tied his shoe; Arose and caught the old baseball With a new idea in view. He swung his arm around his head. His leg soared in the air, His cap it left his sweaty brow, The wind played through his hair. The horse-hide left his lengthy arm. Intended for a “ spitter ;” But woe unto the iron-man And to the mighty hitter. The pellet failed to take the break But sped across waist-high. The batter hit it on the nose And sent it in the sky. The fielders closed upon the spot To catch the batted ball. The pitcher thought he’d lost the game When he heard the umpire call. He quickly cast a glance around To the umpire’s bitter howl. Who motioned to the runner That he had knocked a foul. Alas! Who said the game was lost? The batter had two strikes; The pitcher thought unto himself: “ I’ll give him what he likes.” Before the crowd had settled. Before they had been still, The final strike had been struck, And the catcher held the pill. The ump’s had called the batter out. And that was all he said. The pitcher found it to be a dream — And that he had fallen out of bed. —K. Page Thirty-two THE TAT T L E R Are You? You can find them in the cloak-room. You can find them in the hall.

Page Tliirty-tliree THE TATTLER Page Thirty-five THE T A T T L E R Tardiness INE A. M., the tardy bell is ringing. Students take their respective places for roll call. The classes pass to their class rooms and the daily routine of the school is begun. Soon stragglers are appearing in the assembly. The teacher in charge is marking them down. An- other crowd comes in and more checking. Thus it is the daily occurrence of every week and every month. Such attend- ance is deplorable, unnecessary and tends to decrease the efficiency of the school. The number of tardies each month is too great to publish ; in fact, we are ashamed to publish them. It would take too much paper, and the magnitude it would cover would put a ban on too many students. Some kind of provision should be enacted whereby the stringency of it would be so great that students would take heed and be more punctual. When this tardi- ness each month reaches the hundredth mark it is disgusting to all punctual and up-to-the-minute students. It is practically useless for a small minority to hold up the standard of efficiency in an institution when there is a majority lagging behind. Such a condition is a reflection upon the school, because punctual stu- dents are the ones who succeed in life. If one holds a position of any importance and is late every morning he is soon handed the “blue tag” and his services are no longer required. The efficient man or the efficient woman is the one who is always at work on time every morning and noon. Efficiency is the deciding factor in one ' s success. Competition nowadays has arranged things to the point where you must have “the goods or there will be a passer-by who will step in your place. Going to school is a prime factor in becoming efficient. If that isn ' t the point of view, schools are of no use to the public. The ones who are on time every day at school are the leaders in their classes. The ones who are late every day are the “tail-enders.” If we are going to school to pass away the time we had better discontinue so as not to intercept the progress of the more diligent and punctual students. The opportunity is always awaiting us provided we dig! “You can drive a horse to water, but you can ' t make him drink,” is applicable to a great extent on this everlasting, self-acquiring habit of tardiness. Our Contribution to Uncle Sam The St. Anthony High School is surely on the honor roll for valuable services rendered for the uplift of the nation and our campaign against Fritz. From our school, twenty-six men have responded to the nation’s call. Most of which were attending school up to our entrance in the war. This is an excel- lent record in itself, but this is not all. We have bought a one hundred dollar liberty bond, made contributions to the Red Cross of about one hundred and fifty dollars and rendered valuable service in Red Cross drives. When we consider that the enrollment of the high school is about one hun- dred and fifty we form our own conclusions that our duty thus far is worthy of any praise that might be given it. Page Thirty-six THE TATTLER Pep” ‘‘Pep. A queer word, however not found in the dictionary, it is a good word in one ' s vocabulary, provided he makes use of it. This word has decided practically every decisive battle ever fought. All business successes have been largely attributed to “Pep. All athletes fully grasp the meaning of the word. It has beaten down many great defensives in the athletic world. As Johnnie Evers, captain of the Boston Braves — 1914 world ' s champion baseball team — once said: “Boys, they had bet- ter material for that great contest, but our “pep is what established our superi- ority over that hundred thousand dollar infield. So it is with our own high school athletics — “pep is half. Since it is a proven fact that “pep is very susceptible to students, why not instill your veins with some of this invisible “ointment during student-bod} meetings. The heated debates that used to resound from ceiling to basement are absent from our meetings now. Two or three years ago, whenever questions such as our recent amendments to the constitution, were offered, debates would ensue that would hypnotize the present-day freshman. Whenever election day came you could always see “rival parties framing their platforms. And when the speeches were finally delivered, the candidate ' s history — past, present and future — was snread before the student-body in a statesmanlike manner, and in the period of a few minutes. Now what was it that caused this rivalry? Was it superior mental capacity? Do not let this hallucination grasp you. It is simply stage fright — lack of pep. because when you have the “pep all stage fright is drowned. There are no proceedings that are as beneficial to all students as our student body meetings. Some, particularly the freshmen, think the meetings are held for a little fun and recreation. Probably the obloquy should not be rained upon them, but some day every student who has not observed the fine qualities of parlia- mentary proceedings while he has the best of opportunities, will realize a severe loss later in his or her life. I ' uge 7 hirty seven T H E T A T T L E R Why Not Advertise? It Pays Advertising is one of the means by which large concerns, and small ones alike, have become rich. There isn’t a large manufacturing establishment in the country but what we are familiar with through their extensive advertising in newspapers, magazines, etc. We therefore trust that the business men of St. Anthony will develop their financial resources through the columns of The Tattler. We publish a paper which we believe is worthy of all advertising patronage bestowed upon it ; espe- cially since the high school constitution was amended for its annual publication. It is now a paper of enormity, both in quality and quantity; its distribution covers the entire United States, because the exchange Editor is always busy sending our paper to the most remote parts of the country. We must say that our advertising patrons have been very loyal in responding to our appeals in the past, and it is our earnest desire that they will continue to he because it is our advertisers who make this paper possible. We ask all students to read the advertisements and patronize our patrons. Military Training in the High School We, the hoys of St. Anthony high school, are very grateful that the machin- ery of this school has seen fit to introduce the science of arms ( a much-needed factor) unto the many other pleasing beneficial activities. We are also very for- tunate and grateful that Captain Hudson has contributed his time and experience, without compensation, to the advancement of the students along the science of discipline. At this particular time too much can not be said regarding the manual of arms and the benefits derived thereof. Thousands and perhaps millions of America’s noblest sons will be called upon to serve in a struggle where discipline and order will predominate. This opportu- nity which has come before the students of St. Anthony for the first time, is one of the preliminary subjects that all men must acquire before they can reach, the greatest of all heights — the defenders of the nation. Should Prussianism remain uncrushed within the next two years, students of this school will be called to the colors. Great will be their solace ; and the ease with which they perform their drills will be the source of much pride at the training camp. Uniforms were adopted and half a credit given at the closing of school to those participants that attend eighty per cent of the scheduled drills, and can per- form with relative ease the numerous manuals adopted. This gives an incentive for actual work ; for the boys become so interested, and tinctured with such pep and patriotism, that Captain Hudson threatened to court marshal numerous squads. All members are in earnest regarding this matter. They not only see the immediate advantages, but also realize that they may be called upon to inflict punishment upon the man “who thought to merit heaven by making earth a -hell.” Page Thirty-eight THE TAT T L E R Page Thirty-nine ( THE TATTLER Page Forty-one THE TAT T L E R Senior Report HE time is now at hand for us to bid the old High School farewell, and face whatever the future is holding for us. We feel that those four years of High School work have been well spent, and the re- ward we are to receive which is known as a diploma, is something more than a mere piece of paper with our names attached. We entered the High School four years ago, a class of about sixty-five mem- bers, full of a pep which we have shown on every occasion. We have been well represented in every branch of the school’s activities, which is shown by the fact that the first year we had three men on the football team, two on the basketball team, two on the debating team and two on the baseball team. Our second and third years were equally successful and in some instances even more successful than the year before ; for instance, in place of two men on the debating team we had three in our third year. This, the last year of our High School course is more successful than the previous years. In all activities many of our members have been prominent and are taking a more active part than ever before. In the basketball team we were represented by three of our very best men. Almost every member of the Glee Club, the High School Orchstra, with the exception of one, is composed of mem- bers from this class, and we have four members of our class in the debating team for this year. In regard to socials we have had several which have been unusually success- ful and enjoyed by everyone who participated in them. These socials have had a great influence on the lives of the Seniors. The first big event of the year was the Junior Prom given by the Juniors the 28th of last November, when the Seniors were lavishly entertained by the Junior class. This party was held in the High School gymnasium which was decorated with palms and the Junior colors. The chief entertainment was dancing, a lavish refreshment was also served. The entire party was such a success that the memory of it lasted several months, in all probabilities it will never be forgotten. The next noteworthy event occurred on Christmas when the Senior boys were entertained at the home of Mr. Ray Adams. The time was spent in merrymaking until about one o’clock, when we were served with one of the finest Christmas dinners that has ever been heard of in the upper Snake River Valley in the last twenty years. After we had eaten everything that we could and did everything else that we could think of, we adjourned and went to town to spend the evening at th Gray Opera. Shortly after the Christmas vacation we had a social held in the High School gymnasium. The gymnasium was decorated in the Senior colors, purple and gold. Dancing was the chief entertainment for the evening and a light refreshment was served. The Senior class was next favored by a delightful house party given by Mrs. Bean at her home in Teton, where we enjoyd ourselves very much all eve- ning. The entertainments were card playing, game playing of different kinds, and dancing, after which a very delightful refreshment was served. We were so highly entertained at t his party that we almost forgot to go home at all. Page Forty-two THE TATTLER Our class meetings have been carried on in a cheerful manner, and we have no disagreement upon any subject that has been brought before us for discussion. We unanimously abolished the custom, introduced last vear, of wearing caps and gowns, at our commencement. We selected a liberty pin as our class pin. car- nations as our class flower, and as our class motto, ‘‘The Door to Success is La- beled ‘Push.’ ” Our class is now composed of twenty-two members, all of whom expect to graduate with good records. This is the largest class that has been graduated from this school, and a large percentage of this number expect to attend some col- lege next year. G. Elmer Bean is first honor student. He is an excellent fellow, and deserv- ing of the rank. Harold Jackson received second honors. Both of these young men stand high in the estimation of the entire class. The accomplishments of the class of ' 18 would be very hard to estimate. There has never been a class pass from this institution with a record that this class will take with it. We have been a class of coherence — always working for the best interests of the school and always striving to raise its standard in the esti- mation of other schools of this state. We hope that the under classmen will profit by our example and strive not for fame and honor, but accomplishments ; as the poet so aptly states : The road is rough and hard to climb That leads you to success ; True merit, after all, is just A test of usefulness. Page Forty-three T H E TATTLER History of the Class of 1918 S I look back four years I see a class of about forty go from the instruction and supervision of Miss Rhodes. I wonder at the class of ' 18, as it is today — about to graduate from the High School of St. Anthony; and yet — why should I wonder? It is only natural that in any walk of life, especially in school life, a remakrable change is inevitable. In the fall of 1914 it must have been amusing to the upper classmen and the faculty to stand by and watch us — ever so green — as we trooped into the school- house and signed our names on the High School register, which act caused our parents the price of a new hat. But that greenness, as the green of an apple in early fall, soon ripened into a class whic h began then and is still working on a niche which we intend shall forever be seen in the pillar of St. Anthony High School life. It was surprising to the upper-classmen when, in the fall of 1914, our athletic coach, Mr. Perkins, asked for a “football turnout,” about fifteen of our number suited up and appeared on the held for practice nearly every night. Six of these fifteen made the team and sent terror through any opponents whom we met that year. It was still a greater surprise to the upper-classmen when, in that same year, two of our classmen — Ray Adams and George Davis — won places on the Debating team with a higher percent than several of the second, third and fourth year students. It was with the help of these two debaters that St. Anthony again won the division championship in the triangle debate with Idaho Falls and Blackfoot. Our Freshmen athletics ended with a ‘‘pole rush” when we allied with the Juniors, and lasted only thirty minutes in the fastest wrestling match that St. Anthony has witnessed in many a day. The important events of our Freshman year ended with a banquet in honor of Mr. Neifert, to whom at that time we presented a gun as a token of our ap- preciation of his long and faithful services in the St. Anthony schools. On our return to school in the fall of 1915, one may have witnessed a great change in us, for we were no longer Freshmen, but a class which might look down on lower classmen ; in other words we were Sophomores. And with this fact definitely instilled in our minds we set to work and grew to like our studies quite as well as the various forms of social activities. We also set to work at another purpose — to “test the new Prof.,” Mr. Markle, who succeeded our dear old Prof. Neifert to the office of superintendent. It did not take long, however, for the “new Prof.” to show us that he was running the City Schools of St. An- thonv. and especially the High School. But we prospered under the worthy supervision of Mr. Markle, and we have since thanked him for the efficiency which he promoted in our school during the two years that he was with us. Again, in this and the succeeding years, the class of ' 18 prospered in the ath- letics and debating of the school. We furnished our share of men on the football teams, the basketball teams, the baseball and the debating teams. In 1916-17 five of the six members on the basketball team were juniors; and in that same year four of the six members of the debating team were composed of juniors, while in Page Forty-four THE TATTLER this year (1918) four of the basketball players were Seniors, and four of the men who made the debating team were Seniors. A review of the honors of the High School conferred on members of the class of ' 18 may be shown by the following: Ray Adams, president of Student- Body. 1916: Treasurer of Student-Body. 1917: Secretary of Student-Body, 1915: Assistant Editor of The Tattler. 1917 ; Editor-in-Chief of The Tattler, 1917 : Robert Benton, Treasurer of Student-Body, 1916; Business Manager of The Tattler, 1916; Belle McGarry, Secretary of Student-Bocly, 1918: Elmer Bean, President of Student-Body, 1918: John Kopch, President of Student-Body, 1917 ; Business Manager of The Tattler, 1918: and Virgil Dedman, the first Chief Justice of Student-Body Court, 1918. In this year (1918) we have striven to attain a high standard of scholarship. We have w orked to please our teachers, to accomplish as much as possible ; to fit ourselves for outside life ; and we hope our efforts have not been fruitless. We have endeavored to set an example for the lower classmen, and we feel that we have succeeded in that also. Now we are to leave the dear old “High and join the Alumni in laboring on the high mountain of success, and we feel that it will be a happy remembrance to look back, and in our minds live over again the days of our High School life in St. Anthony. — J. G. K. — ' 18. Page Forty-five THE T A T T L E R Will of Class ’18 i, the Seniors of the St. Anthony High School, being of sound mind and body, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former promises of what- soever nature : To the Freshmen we leave a good portion of our vast store of dignity. We trust this to them because we feel sure that it will aid them in “The Wearing Off the Green.” It being necessary that the honor of the school be protected in the future as it has been in the past, we entrust the Freshmen with as much of our de- bating ability as we can spare after convincing our instructors that we are worthy of graduation. We fear this is not such a generous grant, but we hope to make up for this by granting them athletic ability which helps at all times for, in case they can not fight and are out-numbered by the Juniors and Freshmen of next year, they can still resort to their pedal extremities and run to the safe places. In this way there is no danger of losing so much of their bright and beautiful hair. Our confidence is thus placed on said Freshmen because they have shown some ambition and a great amount of good spirit in the amusements that they have given us, both intentionally and unintentionally. The Sophomores helped us faithfully in the upheavals of our present school year and as a reward, we will to them all of the gum that can be found under the desks of the Seniors. To them, also, we leave our interest in the wool taken from the Freshmen lambs. We would say that it would not be wise to try a repetition of the performance next year, as it might lead to the loss of much valuable time and blood which should be used for other purposes. As every Sophomore finds it hard to be noticed by the other classmen, it will not be out of place to leave them a little Hope that they may not be discouraged after being scorned by the Freshmen girls, and to keep up their spirit so that they may be observed in a slight degree by the Seniors of next year. To the worthy Juniors we extend to them the privilege of profiting by the ex- ample set by the Seniors. If we have made mistakes, let them make them also, for by our mistakes we must learn and we found it hard to follow in the footsteps of the Class of 17. To them we leave the bulk of The Tattler work. We feel that they are capable of doing this important work because they share many of the burdens of the present Tattler staff. In their care we leave the “New Cen- tury Dictionary” and the Encyclopedia Brittanica” with the hopes that they will fully understand the contents before the end of next year. Ray Stalker and Vern Keller having had experience with the barber business, we hereby will to them Felix Cusick’s knowldge in the art of handling the shears. All other items of importance, such as Evelyn’s sunny smile, Yerner’s popularity with the Freshmen, and Dwight’s dancing ability, are to be distributed equally among the various classes, so that no one may be favored. The above enumerated articles are left in sole charge of the aforementioned classes or individuals. It is our desire that any hard feelings between the Class of ' 18 should he buried and forgotten. In Witness Whereof, We hereunto set our hand and seal, this fifteenth day of May, A. D. nineteen hundred and eighteen (1918). — G. E. B., ’18. Page Forty-six THE TATTLER Page Forty-seven E R H E Page Forty-eight THE TATTLER Junior Report HE year of 1917-18 has been the greatest year in the history of the Class of 1919. This is seemingly a very broad statement, when we recall the many things of the past two years that have made this the leading class in school, but when we glance over the pages of the present class records, where are recorded the many notworthy events, we cannot help but feel proud and at the same time admit that this has been the greatest and most glorious year in our most brilliant career. The greatest social event of the year that has been given by the classes or the school is recorded on the class records as November 22, 1917 — Junior Prom. To anyone who did not have the pleasure of participating in this most enjoy- able event, those two words may mean practically nothing, but to the Seniors and Juniors it brings back memories of wonderful music, delicious refreshments, beau- tiful decorations and enjoyable dances, that seem to linger in the mind like some particular strain of a grand opera, or the haunting sweetness of some rare Oriental perfume. The decorations were the first thing which attracted attention, for the hall was decorated in a manner that had been thought impossible. A color scheme ol green and gold, the Junior colors, was carried throughout, in both decorations and refreshments. Green and gold streamers radiated from the center of the hall to every part of the room, while rows of green and gold lights illuminated the scene. Beautiful palms and crepe paper formed screens for many a cozy corner, and a lover ' s lane added to the attractiveness of the scene. The music was furnished by the Melba Orchestra, and the popular verdict was that it was the best music that the students have had the pleasure of enjoying. The Junior Prom, will be remembered as the greatest social event of the season, without a rival. There are only six boys in the Junior class at present, because a large per cent of our former members have either answered the call of the government by en- listing in some branch of the army, or joining the ranks of those who are aiding the cause of Democracy and Liberty along industrial lines. Carlos Moon, Floyd Smith. Earl Enos and Custer Fletcher are now with the colors. We are sure they will prove themselves brave and efficient. The Juniors were represented on the boys’ basketball quintette by Charles Bauer and Harold Neifert, both of whom did credit to themselves, to their class, and to their school by their good work. In an exhibition game between the Junior and Senior boys, the Juniors defeated their haughty rivals by a narrow margin. On the girls’ basketball team, the Juniors formed the main part of the team by having four regular players, Blanche Younge, Tressie Younge, Jennie Jenkins and Geneva Goulding. In proof of their playing ability, the Junior girls chal- lenged and defeated by a large score, the all-star team picked from the other three classes. In debating, the Juniors are represented by Edward Callow, the only Junior who tried for the team. Much ability has been shown by the Juniors in the inter- Page Forty-vine THE TATTLER class debates, and we are positive that if more Juniors had participated in the pre- liminaries, there would have been a better representation on the school team. One proof of the debating ability of the Juniors is the victory of the Junior debaters over the Sophomore team. A Junior invitation party was given in the High School Gymnasium on April 27, 1918. Although this party was not as elaborate as the Junior Prom, it equalled any and surpassed most of the class parties that have been given this year. In all school activities the Juniors have figured prominently. Several mem- bers of The Tattler staff, as well as the President of the Student-Body, Edward Callow, and the Treasurer, Charles Bauer, are members of the Junior class. The officers of the Junior class have shown a great deal of pep this year, and it would have been impossible to have found better people for the positions. The officers of the first semester were : President Earl Enos Vice-President Blanche Young Secretary and Treasurer Olive Rice Secretary and Treasurer Plelen Bond The secretary, Olive Rice, left school during the first semester. Helen Bond was elected to fill the vacant office. The officers of the class for the second semester were : President Carl Kruger Vice-President Persis Ouayle Secretary and Treasurer Arc Cameron It has been due chiefly to the efforts of these officers that the activities of the Junior Class have been so markedly successful. Although this seems to be a very enviable record for one year we intend to do even greater things in our next and last year, and with the aid of the lower classes, we will make this school greater and better than ever before. In conclusion we wish to thank all the members of the faculty for their sup- port and the aid they have rendered the school and the class. We also wish to thank the other classes as a whole for their criticisms, jests and compliments. We have profited by them all. To the general public we wish to express our gratitude for the interest that it has shown in the school and its activities.

If the young man is very partic- ular, he may go to F. Grover (Junior) for further references. On the evening of January 18 the Sophomores gave a skating party. The girls offered to furnish the “eats” if the boys would shovel the snow off of the ice. At about eight-thirty the party left the post office. After wading through drifts and getting good and soaked, the merry troupe reached the skating pond. Here they skated around for a few minutes, but the ice was so bad that the pleas- ure had to be dropped all too quickly. Eunice Fletcher had driven out in her father’s bob-sleigh. We took advantage of this; all piked into the sleigh, rode around town for some time, and some went home. The rest drove out to Chester and on the way back got stuck in the mud and water and had to walk six miles back to town. They enjoyed it! Saturday, Feb. 2nd, the Sophomores gave a dance in the High School Gym- nasium. The gym was beautifully decorated in red and white. The punch was delicious, at least it went fast enough. Every one had a very enjoyable time. Three newspapers have been started in the 2nd year English class. There is much rivalry between them. Speaking of English, here are a few things heard in that class : Miss B. (giving hint for rule of capital letters), the names of Dietv. Paul Gray (quickly) : Toasts and resolutions should be captilmed. Mildred B. (becoming excited in talking on the work of the spy) : And she allowed her lover to-to-te-tit-tat on her back. ( She meant tattooed. ) Lorena C. (dramatically) : And when the ship began to move the sailor got on the rail and waved goodbye. Wando Andrason, Paul Grey and the Kellar boys have stopped school. The latter ' s absence might cause a divorce case on grounds of desertion. Edwin Cusick is such a reader that he forgot to come to class. Be careful, children, don’t carry things to the extreme. Ours is a peach of a class — and a class of peaches. Girls, if you ever felt cheap, remember that girls grow dearer as they grow older. Lo the graduating class. In the school of life you may play hooky from sorrow. Gertrude had a little Jean — ’Twould make you die with laughter — And everywhere that Gertrude went Poor Jeanie followed after. Miss B. — Do any of you know the meaning of unaware? Helen S. — Unaware is what you put on first and take off last.

Page Fifty-three THE TATTLER Page Fifty fire THE TATTLER Freshman Class Report N the beautiful Snake River valley, in the city of St. Anthony, stands the St. Anthony High School. In this famous High School there is an enrollment of about one hundred and sixty-four students, of whom fifty are Freshmen, a small but prominent minority. The class was a little timid when they entered the school, but it did not take them long to get acquainted with the new rules and regulations. The Sophomores laughed at us and always said, “Look how green the Freshmen are.” They had forgotten that they were Freshmen once. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers : James Sharp President Bessie Fisher Vice-President Millie Birch Secretary Under these officers we progressed excellently during the first semester. In the beginning of the second semester the class constitution was selected and the following officers were elected : Lyle Ferney President Ida Osguthorpe Vice-President Hugh Bomberger Secretary Dorothy Mitchell Historian Our class is not without “pep” nor ambition. We are represented on the debating team by James Sharp, and the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams by Theodore Harder and Millie Birch. On the 5th of January, the Sophomores challenged the Freshmen in a game of basketball, and we are glad to say that we defeated them by a wide margin, the score being twenty-three to three. The game was clean, and was enjoyed by every one that attended it. Our friends, the Juniors, supported us throughout the entire game. Page Fifty-six THE TATTLER Freshman Party HE Freshman Party! It was not at all what the name of Fresh- man ' implies : it was a real party, a party worth talking about. For months the Freshmen had been looking forward to this great event, and Mr. Sparks had set the date for March 2. March 2 seemed an eternity away, but at last the time came. The decorations enhanced the enjoyment of the evening. Art and ingenu- ity were evident in the great amount of purple and white streamers, and a great amount of pennants. After dancing for about two hours, dainty refreshments were served, and threby hangs a tale. The refreshments committee had decided on popcorn and punch. Popcorn! Just imagine! And a Freshman party, too! It certainly sounded childish, so older heads got together and decided on the elaborate refresh- ments, which were as follows: Ten gallons of excellent punch (at least some of the boys seemed to think it excellent), and a light luncheon which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The dancing was resumed and everyone was sorry to hear the strains of “Home, Sweet Home.” But the story did not end here : The next morning the clean-up committee had a week ' s work before them, all to be done in one day. The Freshman Party was such a success that it was the general talk of the school for several weeks, and the Sophomores even went so far as to hint of a Sophomore-Freshmen party, but “rumor” was the end of such an event. Page Fifty-seven THE TATTLER Page Fifty-nine THE TATTLER Athletic Report Football HIS year vve were disappointed in the football outlook. School did not start until late; we naturally supposed the winter would come before we could possibly round a team into shape, therefore we did not play football. However, we did not have winter for a long- time, but our hopes for a team were blasted. There would have been some very good material to build a team from this year with such men as Ray Adams, Bauer, Louis, Kooch and Davis in the lineup. Baseball It seems very improbable that much baseball will be played this year. Many students have already discontinued their school work, and among them were some valuable baseball men. The prospects looked very bright for a while, with such men as Ray Adams, who aspires to become a big league pitcher, and Theodore Harder, Davis, Stoddard, Louis, and a few others. Baseball has always been the main game in this school for several years. When the class of ' 18 entered school, baseball was made the chief athletic event. Through the ability of this class, which composed a large majority of the team, we succeeded in ranking high in baseball events. Were the members of the class of ' 18 not so badly crowded at this time of the year for spare time we un- doubtedly would have a baseball team.

Custer Fletcher: “Talk about doing your bit: 1 just done my two bits.” Earl Bradfield (over at Modern Phar- macy) : “I would like to get a comb?” Hugh Baumberger: “What kind?” Earl Bradfield: “I want a comb for a man with celluloid teeth and a strong- back. “How ' s the world treating you? “Oh, about half the time.” She: “She’s something of a wall- flower, is she not ” He: “Better make it a walnut.” “My dear, do you think it right to let that young man spend so much money on you?” asked Mrs. Lloyd. “Why not?” replied the daughter, “I have no intention of marrying him.” After a great deal of consultation the Freshman finally asked Mr. Cotton if he could take manual training to make up his credits. Mr. Cotton : Do you know anything about carpentry?” Freshie: “Sure!” Mr. Cotton: “Do you know how to make a Venetian blind?” Freshie: “Sure, I ' d poke my finger in his eye.” Mr. Oakley: “And what is it we find in glacier beds?” Bright Freshie: “Ice sheets, T sup- pose.” Teacher: “Your answer is about as clear as mud.” Student: “Well, that covers the ground, doesn’t it?” Successful Suitor: “Sir, your daugh- ter has promised to become my wife.” Father: “Well, don’t come to me for sympathy. You might have known something would happen to you, hang- ing around here five nights a week.” Miss Hynds (in English History): “What is a furlough, Harold?” Harold: “A mule.” Miss Hynds: “Oh, you know it isn’t!” Harold: “Yes, mam, I have a book home that says so.” Miss Hynds: “Bring it to school to- morrow, Harold.” The next morning Harold came armed to school with a book, and triumphant- ly showed the picture of an American soldier riding a mule, under which was the caption, “Going home on his fur- lough.” “Do you always stutter like that,” asked the Doctor, of the recruit. “No-sir-on-ly-when I ta-lk.” “Pretty strong girls that they can do that, hey?” asked a man of another, as they were walking along a business street. “Do what?” asked the other. “That,” he answered, and pointed to a sign: “Wanted, girls to sew buttons on the third floor.” “A Freshman” My pencil is a funny beast; It goes just where its led, And when it turns to rubber, It stands upon its head.” “I’ve spent a lot of money at Rey- nolds’ pool this winter.” “Do you like it as well as Pincock’s or Hiese’s Hot Springs?

Each hour and day you hear the pecking din; Sometimes you wish you were within. But once you finally come inside Your halted at the door with stately pride. You see a finger slip from off a key. Then anger is aroused, you plainly see. You see the gritting of the teeth and lips, No words are heard, his conscience somewhat grips. A piece of paper rips from off the type ; The sweat upon his brow hell slowly wipe. A movement of the lips — they cant be read. But when he’s through, you know just what he said. Sometimes he’ll only “beef” and wonder why. He cannot write, and then he’ll rub his eye. Another paper slips in the machine With such a method as that used by Bean.

Page Seventy THE TATTLER Page Seventy-one THE TATTLER Debating HIS year we did not meet any schools in the annual debates, as we have been accustomed to doing. Nevertheless we had our prelim- inary debates to see who were the fortunate ones who were to form the team. On the night of April 2nd a large turn-out was at the High School to hear the question for debate and. also, hear it debated. At 8 o ' clock the participants took their respective positions on the stage, some shak- ing at the knees, while others did not reveal their scare. Among them were : Virgil Dedman, Norma Soule, Hazel VanTassel, Allan O ' Neil, Harold Jack- son, James Sharp, Elmer Bean, Edward Callow and Ray Adams. Dwight Stalker, who was also scheduled for the preliminary debate did not appear. It was later learned that he had gone home. Dwight lives in the country, you know. Well, when he went down to the station to catch the train he naturally thought he would get to the school house in due time. But to the dismay of Dwight the train did not come until it was far too late for him to think of getting here for a debate, so he was left out. Those who made the team were Virgil Dedman (affirmative), Elmer Bean, Allan O ' Neil, James Sharp, Edward Callow and Ray Adams, consisted of the negative. The question for debate was, “Resolved, that after the present war, the United States shall so far depart from her traditional policies as to participate in the organization of a league of powers to enforce peace. Oratory On Saturday, April 13, St. Anthony High School will be represented in an oratorical contest at Burley, Idaho, for the championship of the state. Ray Adams will represent this school in the contest. His subject is “Americanism.” We are sorry to say that we cannot print the results of this contest because our paper goes to press before that time. This is the first time St. Anthony has participated in an oratorical contest. Page Seventy-two THE TATTLER Student-Body Notes He Student-Body this year has had the honor of being favored with some excellent speeches. D. Y. Davis, candidate for Governor last election, delivered a very interesting oration on “America’s Duty in this War. He urged that all students buy thrift stamps to help the cause of our country. He stated further “that we must speed up, if we were going to end this war within five vears. Mr. illiams, superintendent of the Industrial School, gave us a very inter- esting talk on the “History of the Red Cross and “the God-send it has been to millions of soldiers across the sea. His subject was enjoyed very much bv the entire Student-Body. Mr. D. C. Xeifert. who needs no introduction, delivered an excellent speech before the assembly on the present-day war. Many of his facts cut deep into the heart of the Student-Body, and was largely responsible for the large contri- bution to the Red Cross. Mr. W hite. County agricultural agent, solicited the support of all students whose occupation was farming, to raise wheat. With the aid of manv students he obtained a survey of Fremont county ' s growing capacity. h airly good spirit has been shown in the Student-Body meetings this year. Although there is plenty of room for a revival of pep. on a whole the meetings have been interesting. 1 here has not been a great deal of opposition to the Seniors in the business of various natures because the under classmen profited by the facts laid down before them by the stentorion voices of their upper classmen. In one meeting John was compelled to raise to heights unknown in order to convince the Student- Body of the grave necessity of purchasing some books. Another time Elmer and a Junior clashed on a party discussion. Rav and Edward hooked horns on several occasions, but evervthing came through without loss of blood. W hen the Seniors displayed the Sophomore pennant before the assembly we expected a grand knock down and drag out. But the w r ee Freshmen and proud Juniors stood at bay. The next bold move was the hanging of a dummy from a flagpole with the Junior and Freshmen colors. All they did was haul it down when the Seniors were absent. Things began to reach a high pitch and Mr. Sparks concluded we had better compromise and we did : a grand get-together party was the result. ( )n the evening of April 5 a Musical Program was rendered in the assem- bly- A good variety of talent was displayed by the orchestra, chorus and quar- tette. Major Mark Lroxall, home on a visit from Camp Lewis, gave us a verv interesting account of the training of Uncle Sam’s men. After the program a dance was had in the Gymnasium. Music was fur- nished by the town band. The receipts from these two occasions were for the orchestra and The Tattler. Page Seventy-three THE TATTLER Student-Body Court The Student-Body Court was organized by the students of the High School on the 14th of February. Virgil Dedman, who was chosen Chief Jus- tice, has certainly shown marked ability as a judge in the four cases brought before the court. His two associates are Charles Bauer and Mr. Oakley. The prosecuting attorney is Harold Jackson, who has also shown exceptional ability in prosecuting the pupils brought before him. Orion Louis, as Chief of Police, has been very successful in handling all the law-breakers. In the four cases brought before the court. Ray Adams and Allen O’Neil have been the counsel for the defendants, although they have won no cases, they have made the penalty much lighter on the pupils than it otherwise would have been. William Ny- borg is doing good work as clerk. On the whole, the court’s proceedings have been very successful and have been satisfactory to all concerned.

Page Seventy-six THE TATTLE R High School Music T would not be fair to permit this volume to go to press without a word of praise to those who have responded so willingly to Ap- pollo’s lute, and those who would fain be members of Circes and Baachus’ bands. When the call was sounded at the beginning of the year, about half the school became enthusiastic students of music, mastering the rudiments and trying vocal c(h)ords which had never before been tried. The Basketball Quartet of a dozen or so voices, “Vera’s Midnight Warble, the Arrow-Buster Intermittent Drawing Room Duet, and the Old Faithful drone of the Bee(n) are all striking, yea, ear-smashing examples of untried cords. Even so, we cannot help but feel that some have been inspired or at least some have tried to sing who never thought of singing before. Besides the regular school programs, the Chorus has been called upon to sing at Red Cross, Food Administration and County Agricultural Meetings, and have been worthy of good report. The Cantata which was rendered on the evening of April the 5th was well received, and may be repeated in a short concert tour if time permits. A High School Orchestra was organized for the first time in the history of the school. To be sure we are not in the V. Herbert or T. Thomas Class yet, but we have made a start. The Student-Body lias willingly given us sup- port and funds, and the school board has shown a kindly interest by purchas- ing a fine double bass for the orchestra. It is the sincerest wish of the writer that the music work begun this year may continue on a much grander scale next year, and that the love for the beautiful in music may stand so securely that the winds of other interests and the storms of discouragement may never uproot this important branch of edu- cation.

That which will be of interest to you, Peggy, was the school party given on October the twenty-sixth. This party served as a “get acquainted party.” Everybody had a splendid time, “getting acquainted” was carried out to the letter. On the seventh of November the school had a Kangaroo party. This was to raise funds for our school paper, The Tattler. It was a real Kangaroo, too — everybody was charged and found guilty of doing something they thought of doing ! On November twenty-second the Junior Prom, was given, you were not here to attend this party, for it really was the “Big season. We will have to give the Juniors the “Medal” when it comes to giv- ing a party and showing their classmates a real good time. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated in the class colors — green and gold. The cozy cor- ners were so tempting, one hated to leave them, and the punch-table — well, there were a number who spent the evening near it. The “Melba Orchestra,” the most popular orchestra, furnished the music, and besides all this, at eleven-thirty a dansante supper was served. The Seniors gave their class party on January the nineteenth. The decora- tions in the gym. were arranged very prettily and those who did not care to dance, spent the evening at the card tables. The punch was very delicious and the table was attractively decorated. On the same date the sophomores gave a skating party, all the class turned out and had the time of their young lives. They say it was more fun on that dark, cold night — more boys fell — and more girls screamed. The Sophomore’s class party was given somewhere around the second of February, I believe, and although I did not go it was reported to me as one of the prettiest parties given this year. You remember Elmer Bean, don’t you, Peggy? On the sixteenth of Feb- ruary he invited the Senior class to go to his place at Teton. We went in sleighs, on the way there we nearly froze, but we soon thawed out. The hospitality with which we were received caused us to forget our frozen condition. We danced and played cards until midnight and then — refreshments. Oh ! Peggy, the eats we had just make my mouth water every time I think of them! The ice cream was exceptionally good — the best I have ever tasted. On February the 23rd we had our annual “Character Ball.” This was an- other remarkable success. The costumes were varied and unique. Even Hoover wasn’t forgotten by such quotations, “Save your white Hour and use oatmeal” and “Hooverize.” Now — I have too. They were “ almost full swing, forgotten m the Freshmen — they almost forgot me, however as far as social events were con- cerned. The Freshmen party was given on March 2nd. We must acknowledge Page Eighty THE T A T T L E R that the freshmen are another class that know how to entertain, and they know how to decorate, too, for the gymnasium was artistically decorated in red and white. On March the twenty-first there was a River Party ; it was very formal. Those present were Viola Workman, Fern Tompson, Gertrude Patten, Arvilla Brower, Vera Pierce, Mae Harringfelt and Frances Cox. The girls said they had the best time they ever experienced, and they wished the whole school had been with them. On April the 5th the student body gave a party and a musical program, the purpose of which was to raise funds for the paper, and as a pacifier between the classes. Mrs. Simpson and Helen gave a soire dans ante for the school on March the 23rd, in the school gymnasium. The decorations were in National colors and emblems. Everybody had a very delightful time. Now, Peggy, don ' t think for a minute that this is all the social events of the school year. There were a number of others given by individuals for their intimate friends, and the teachers have done their share in this topic, but I can- not recall the dates of any more of them. This will give you an idea and prove to you, however, that we are not dead, and if you ever want a real good time just come back to the High School of St. Anthony . — The Society Jane. Page Eighty-one THE TATTLER Through the unceasing efforts of Captain Hudson we have realized a well-drilled company of cadets. He has worked diligently with both boys and girls, and too much credit cannot be given him for his valuable services ren- dered to this department. Page Eighty-two THE TATTLER Old Glory and the Service Flag of the St. Anthony High School Page Eighty-three T HE TATTLER Military Report HE Military Department was started on the 20th of November. The foot movements were learned, and then, after Christmas time came the new uniforms. These were hastily donned, and the first three to get them wore them to school in order to parade before the girls. The squad drill was completely mastered and rifles were ordered by the Board of Education. When they arrived there was a general rush to “The Colors,” or. in other words, the ranks swelled considerably as the prospect of drilling with guns drew nearer. There was a good deal of agitation as to whether credit should he allowed for military training, but I am glad to say that there was no decrease in the ranks while the boys waited for a decision from the “Powers That Be.” Finally, how- ever. the decision was rendered, and it was decided that the cadets that were regular in attendance and applied themselves to the manual of arms and the foot movements, should be allowed a half credit at the end of the year. The first night that the guns were here, the awkwardness of the company was noticeable in some instances. The clear and concise explanations of Captain Hudson, who directed the skilful manipulation of the rifles, in executing the manual of arms, brought the awkwardness out of the boys. Before they were dismissed for the night the hoys handled the guns and themselves almost as well as old troopers. The girls watched us about the third night that we drilled. It was announced then to the girls that all who were interested in military drill should report at the Gymnasium on Monday night next. At the time appointed many girls ap- Page Eighty-four T H E T A T T L E R peared, incidentally many boys came to watch the clumsiness of the girls. Aside from the customary awkwardness due to the unusual movements and the hand- ling of the objects that they were unaccustomed to, there was nothing laughable in the situation. The girls are doing splendidly, hut as yet they cannot be ex- pected to be in as fine a condition as the boys, who have had more drilling. Again, military affairs come more natural to boys. It is to be expected that the former should be more dexterous and proficient The names of the boys taking part in military training are as follows : Andreson Armstrong Bauer Bradfield Buster Cameron Cochems Croxall Cusick Davis Fisher T ncrcr 1 Callow Dedman Gray Moore SERGEANTS O.

In recognition of this fact, together with a desire to know of the progress of other schools, a system of exchanging school papers has been established. These papers, published by the respective institutions, are the best evidences of talent that are received by schools where direct contact, in athletics or other contests, is impractical and it is through the general appearance of the papers and the interest shown by the dif- ferent departments that we are able to gain some idea of the school and its activities. Very naturally some things which are published by the different papers seem to us as out of place or improper in a school paper, so in a spirit of aiding in the correction of some of these mistakes and in encouraging and commending those things which seem of especial benefit, we offer comment on some of these periodicals in the hope that they may be of some service in future publications. The Tattler will always welcome any criticism that will tend towards its wel- fare or the school it represents. Due to the early date of publication of The Tattler this year we have received but comparatively few of the exchanges expected. Those coming in after the publication of The Tattler will be recorded and acknowledgment made next year. The Tattler acknowledges with pleasure the following: The Lewistohian, Lewiston, Idaho. The Lever, Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Student Rays, Rexburg, Idaho. Wheat, Ritzville, Washington. The Volunteer, Concord, New Hampshire. The Rcc Neps, Spencer, South Dakota. College Coyote, Caldwell, Idaho. The University Argonaut, Moscow, Idaho. The Whitman College Pioneer, Walla Walla, Wash. ' The Lewistonian: A very good paper and one of our best exchanges. Call again. The Student Rays: You have a very good literary department, but your jokes lack orig- inality. The Rcc Neps: A very nifty little paper. Your locals are very good. The University Argonaut: Your paper shows a high class of school spirit. A few more jokes would materially aid your paper. Wheat: Let us compliment you on the patriotic spirit manifested in your columns. We wish to thank all the papers who have exchanged with The Tattler both this and past years, and hope to meet them all again before the next pub- lication of The Tattler.
