There are things that you see in a wealthier town That you can’t see in towns that are small; And yet, up and down, there is no other town Than our own little town after all. It may be very true that the streets aren’t long, That they’re narrow and not very straight; But the neighbors you know in your own little town All welcome a fellow — it’s great. If you live and you work in your own little town. In spite of the fact that it’s small, You will find it the truth that your own little town Is the best little town after all. L. B. — 24.

This year has been one of success for the Seniors in every way. Our number of graduates was increased by two Juniors, making a total of 29 mem- bers, the largest class ever graduated from the St. Anthony High School. We have been well represented in athletics, with such athletes as Francis Armstrong, Kenneth Rodecker, Raymond Rosenlof. Sidney Yager, Elmer Kershaw and Milton Meredith in the football team, which made it the success it was. Our two hoop stars, Francis A. and Raymond R-. were unsurpassed as players on the basketball floor. In the girls’ series of interclass games, our superiority over the other classes was dem- onstrated by winning the scheduled games played. Katherine Buster was captain, Hazel Blevins and Barbara Henrichs were forwards, Mabel Woodfield, sub forward; Irma Stod- dard, center; Melva Bean and Reva Thompson, guards. On the school team, Barbara, Melva and Katherine displayed their ability as basketball players. Our class is now forging ahead in baseball. We have won all the class games played. We mention with pride the Seniors represented in baseball, Sidney Yager, Francis Arm- strong and Kenneth Rodecker. In the track meet we have never ranked first nor last, having ranked third as Fresh- men and second as Sophomores and .Juniors. However, we expect to carry all honors in the coming track meet. The Seniors being very original, decided to give a program on March 17- Beyond a doubt it was the biggest success in programs of the school year. Toward the last of March, room ten was occupied by the Seniors for a class meeting to discuss problems of vital importance. Questions were discussed, both pro and con, hot and heavy, but caps and gowns, rings and pins. However, the question of rings and pins was peacefully settled by choice, part taking pins and part taking rings. But as to the matter of caps and gowns, our friends, The School Board,” had kindly settled any disputes whatever over those ancient relics, saying that beyond a doubt we must wear them. Betty’s Last Bet” was chosen as the class play, and with such talent as we have, promises to be a success. In the Local Contest, our elocutionary ability exceeded all others this year, having won first place in oratory by Mark Ellingson and first place in dramatics by Irma Stoddard. A brilliant entertainment was given the Seniors by the Juniors on April 7, the “Junior From.” We highly compliment the Juniors for the delightful evening. The honors of the class go to Gladys Snell, a talented student, as Valedictorian, and Kenneth Rodecker. a brilliant, all-’round sport, as Salutatorian.

Page Twenty-nine THE T A T T L E R History of Glass of 1922 Four years ago our class of about fifty members entered High .School, as green as any Freshman class ever was. We must certainly have been amusing to the faculty and upper classmen, and it is not surprising. Anyone who has ever seen a group of small children troop into their room on the first day of school, ever so frightened, will realize just how we looked — in fact, how every Freshman class looked and will look till the end of time. When I look back now, I am surprised at the change Yet it should not be surprising, for in the life of everyone a change is inevitable and mere especially in school life, and our 1 greenness soon became not the indication of ignorance but, as the greenness of a tree, that of maturity, intellectual maturity To prove this and show our utter disregard for the jibes of the other classes we adopted green and white as our class colors. We have always taken honors from the rest of the school in debating, declamation and athletics. Our Sophomore year was a great success in all lines. We were entertained at a banquet for winning the inter-class basketball games, and we also won several places in declamation. Our Junior year showed that we were still progressing. The High School basketball team was composed mainly of Juniors. Donald Lloyd, our orator, won second place in the state oratorical contest. We must admit that in armory ball, our girls ran up against a difficult proposition, but as we cannot have everything, we feel it is no disgrace to have | lost this one time. All success is good for no one and it is only bv overcoming adversity that progress can be assured, and so we decided to do better next year. In our Senior year our ranks were somewhat depleted, as several of our class-mates left for other schools, but through it all we have a graduation class of twenty-nine- Naturally, as Seniors, we feel this to be our best year and we are taking a more prom- inent part in the activities of the High School. This is the largest, and, we are sure, the best class that has ever graduated from the St. Anthony High School, and though the work has not been easy and the successes have been attained only through persistent and diligent application, we hate to leave the High School. We have tried to the best of our ability to deserve our success, and we believe: “ ’Tis not in mortals to command success; But we’ll do more, dear classmates, we’ll deserve it.” B. H. ’22. .1 Page Thirty T H T A T T L E R Prophecy of Class of ’22 St. Anthony, Idaho, May 21, 1932. Miss Hazel Blevins, Abyssinia, Africa. Dear Hazel: — - Our dear old class of 1922 met in the auditorium of the St Anthony High School, as we planned to do ten years ago, when we graduated- All were present except you, so our pres ident, Mr. Kenneth Rodecker, who is now a great lecturer touring the country on the sub- ject of Dangers of Tobacco on the Coming Generation,” appointed me to write this to you. Of course you knew Sidney Yager married Beth Sutton and they are now running a pharmacy in Windor. Barbara is the proprietor of the I.afonkist Beauty Parlor in Denver. She also demon- strates the new devices of How to keep thin. The happiest of our class, Irma Hunter, is now quietly married in Parker and is the proud mother of a pair of laughing twins, Reva Thompson is teaching vocal lessons in New York and running in competition to Madam Sell uma n -Hein k. The noted arguer of our class, Milton Meredith, is traveling for the Munsing Under- wear Company. He reports large sales. Veda Munk is a Prima Donna and her sister. Reva. is her accompanist. You remem- ber. they used to play and sing in the assembly. Marion Hudson is traveling for the Ellison White Chautauqua. Whoever would have thought of conne t ng such success with salted peanuts and cough drops. Whoever would have thought that Yenna Andrasen would have become the most wealthy in our class. She fell heir to millions and adopted ten children. Besides all this we have a county officer in our group. Donald Spiers is scattering poisoned oats to kill sewer rats. We all used to think that Velma Andrasen would become a world typist, but instead he is a noted ' cabaret dancer in London. Raymond Rosenlof has a job fitting on hosiery in the ladies’ department in San Fran- cisco. He likes his job very much. Watch for the Barnum and Bailey Circus, for Mark Ellingson is a leading acrobat trav- eling with them. People come from all over the world to see him perform- Did you know we had a noted author in our class? Mabel Woodfield has just published her latest book. called Reasons Why I Never Married.” Our old friend Henrietta Mowray is making a lecture tour of the world, talking on the subject of Better Babies.” Gladys Snell is a noted designer in Bullocks, at Los Angeles. The change of climate seems to agree with her. If you remember, we all were sure Leslie Stewart had talent. He is now a soda squirt in Wilford. Page Tliirty-one THE TATTLER Katherine and Melvin hated to come west as they had no one to gather their eggs. Oh, yes, they are married and are living on a poultry farm in New Jersey. Wealthy has spent most of her time gathering specimens of the geneological age, in Mexico. I suppose she will publish another Ancient History- Fran Armstrong is a world-renowned dancing master in Paris. Our Mack Sennett Bathing Beauty is Sara Cahoon. Who would have thought it ten years ago? Elmer Kershaw has become a great profiteer and spends his time profiteering on a ten- eent investment of peanuts. Vernon Jackson is now a professor of music at Yale. We were all surprised to find that Melva Bean was leading saleslady at the Parisian Smart Shop at Heman. The world will never miss Michael Angelo now Irma Stoddard has completed her mas- terpiece. Hazel, we missed you but were glad you were doing much good missionary work in Africa, and healing wounded hearts. With best wishes, CLASS OF ’22. — M. B. ’22. 1 Page Thirty-two THE TATTLER Hill of % (Elans of 1022 We, the Senior Class of the Sfr. Anthony High School, in the County of Fremont and the State of Idaho, being of sound and disposing mind and memory and not acting under any duress, menace, fraud or undue influence of any person, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament, revoking all former wills and testaments made by us. Collectively, we give 1. To the Juniors, our three rows of back seats and our Senior title as they are most fitted to assume all that it implies. We hope that they will not misuse the seats in any shape or form whatever, or that they will make SENIOR stand for anything but S incerity, E arnestness, Nobleness, I ntelligence, O rderliness and R esponsibility. We also will them M iss Wood’s Friday night “feed. ' ’ and we hope that they will not be otherwise engaged on that night. 2. To the Sophomores we will and bequeath them the privilege of becoming Juniors next year so that they may entertain the Seniors (tobe) at a Junior Prom. We want them to at least have as nice a Prom as was given us. 3. To the Freshmen we pass cn the following advice, having received six years of it from father and mother and twelve years of it from teacher: Be prompt. Do not loiter in the halls nor on the way to school. Now that the time is fast approaching when your greenness will fall from you, we advise you to be more mannerly, so that you will not be taken for Freshmen the coming year. Show more class spirit. We give you this advice earnestly and wish you to consider it the same way. Having one or more quality that we are over burdened with, and think that it can be used to a better advantage elsewhere, we each give the following: To Mac Yager, Leslie Stewart gives his bashfulness. Use it Mac. It did a lot of good for Leslie; Milton Meredith wills his Baby Ben to Frank Soule, with it his position as Absent Professor. Wake up. Frank, the school bell is ringing; Elmer Kershaw wills his “bulldog determinatoin” to Wylie Harris. Never mind, Wylie, you’ll be a star some day; Reva Thompson gives her studio usness to Ross Torry; Marion Hudson gives his ability to play the cornet to Jenifer Watson Some orchestra we ' ll have next year; Wealthy Lake bequeaths her height to Ellen Bell; Sara Cahoon gives her dignity to Helen Wilson; Ken- neth Rodecker gives his super abundance of knowledge to Bill Jackson; Beth Sutton gives her quietness to Thalus Steed. Oh. that giggle; Henrietta Mowray bequeaths the position as pianist of the student body to Zona Latham- “Once in the dear dead days beyond recall, etc.”; Francis Armstrong wills his love for the opposite sex to Delmont White. Don’t go to the extreme. Del: Gladys Snell gives her ability to argue to Alta Seymour. Join the debating club. Alta; Melva Bean gives her motherly’ solicitude to Thera Duffus. You ' re a young lady, now, Thera Yeda Munk bequeaths her vocal ability to Thelma Palmer. Now is your chance; Venna Andrasen gives her stubbornness to Rubv Bean. Sometimes, Ruby, it’s necessary; Vernon Jackscn wills feminity to Heber Sharp; Katherine Buster gives her muscu ' ar ability to Anna Buchenau, but Anna, use it with discretion; Hazel Blevins wills her copyright of “The Modern Vamp” to Erva Neal: Melvin Hammond bequeaths his meek- ness to Mary Harrigfelt. It’s rather a good quality cn the basketball floor: Donald Spiers wills his speed in reading to Jim Breckenridge. Speed limit — 110 per; Barbara Henrichs gives her home-made complexion to Hazel Snell; Raymond Rosenlof gives his flirtatious actions to Clarence Matthews. Wish you success; Irma Hunter bequeaths her jovial dis- position to Warren Davis; Velma Andrasen wills her stenographic ability to next year’s public stenographer; Irma Stoddard gives her dramatic ability to George Clark. W e know tou ' 11 take all honors next year; Mabel Woodfield bequeaths her pleasing personality to Pa Tliirt y-three E R THE T A T T L Jrma Lloyd; Sidney Yager wills his wonderful ability as a billiard shark to Elston Mc- Donald. “You can have it, I don’t want it” Reva Munk wills her charming disposition to Lydia Bauer; Mark Ellingson bequeaths his sonorous voice to Chandler Garrett. We appoint all post graduates as executors of this will. The foregoing was signed, sealed, published and declared to be our last will and testament, this twenty-third day of May, 1922. (SEAL) (Signed) SENIOR CLASS OF ’22. — Y. A. Page Thirty- four Paste Thirty-five 1‘ag.e Thirty-six THE T A T T L E R Junior Class Report The Juniors are a well organized and influential class. They participated to a very great extent in all of the school activities. The quality of the class is unquestionable. Respect has, and always will be shown to the Junior Class. In the election of the class officers for the First Semester the following were chosen: President Frank Soule Vice President Ruth Bean Secretary and Treasurer Reva Munk Class Advisor W. C. Stanton Our opponents, the Seniors, were defeated in the election of the Student Body offiws, two of which were filled by most capable Juniors: President John Bauer Secretary . . Evelyn Jacobs When it comes to athletics, we can t be beaten, when we have such representatives as in football — HEBER (T1N ) SHARP, a three year’s veteran. ELOYD FERNEY, an equally distinguished veteran. BIEL (NEVER MISS) JACKSON. FRANK SOULE CLYDE COX FRANK CHASE EMORY SOULE DEEMONT WHITE JOHN BAUER Four of the basketball team were Juniors: HEBER SHARP SUBS: — JOHN BAUER ELOYD FERNEY FRANK SOULE FRANK CHASE DEEMONT WHITE After a serious attafk of appendicitis, Naomi Hobbs, one of our most efficient and capable members, quietly passed away on Friday. January 13. The funeral was held Mon- day afternoon at the Tabernacle. Our Second Semester class officers were fully as capable as those of the first. They were: President . ■ . Heber Sharp Vice President Bernard Henriclis Secretary and Treasurer Ruth Bean The election of the Se oml Semester Student Body officers was one of the most excit- ing eleit ' ons ever held in the history of the St. Anthony High School. Tt showed the in- tense rivalrv which existed between classes. Two of the officers being Juniors — President - Frank Soule Secretary Lloyd Ferney The Juniors were well represented in the Declamatory Contest. 1 51 sc Thirty-seven THE TATTLER 4 Although we did not receive honor- in the school contest, it was because of our unde- veloped talent and not because we haven’t the material. The participants were: Oratorical — CLYDE COX HERBERT HOLCOMB Dramatic — GEORGE CLARK THELMA PALMER REVA MUNK Humorous — « LILA JOHNSON MARY HARR1GFELD RUTH BEAN A baseball team is to be organized and we expect to be represented in the school team by our well known athletes. On the seventh of April the Junior Prom was given in honor of the Seniors. Many were the comments made on the artistic decorations and arrangements. For refreshments, ice cream, cake and punch were served; the plates for the ice cream were colored green with a white doily in the center. Programs and carnations were given as the people came in. Every one present reported to have had a delightful time, which we meant for them { to have- Music was furnished by Tout’s Orchestra, supposed to be the best on the Yellow- stone Branch. We shall attempt to keep our possession of the silver cup, awarded for track meet, which we gained last year. A few Seniors boast of taking it this year, but with such men as Heber Sharp, Bill Jackson, etc., it is thought they will be convinced of the impossibility of the task. It is near the end of our Junior year, but most of us expect to come back next year as dignified Seniors that we may retain the fame and honor of the class of ’23. Page Thirty-eight Page Thirty-nine Page Forty THE TATTLER Sophomore Class Report We are Sophomores, full of glee, We are happy and as jolly as can be. We came in like lions, We’ll go out with a roar For we are the Class of ’24. On September 6. 1921, there were thirty of the best and most brilliant students of the St. Anthony High School enrolled in one distinct class. The best class in the school, known as the SOPHOMORES- Now our number has increased to forty-one, so you see, we are always on “the up-hill climb.” At our first meeting we elected the following officers: President Lewis Douglas Vice President Hazel Snell Secretary and Treasurer Eva Birch Class Advisor Cleon C. Cowin When we suggested Mr- Cowin as Class Advisor (and, in fact, some of the girls insist- ed upon it 1 , we thought he was quite free and could “handle” our class very well. But Eo and Behold! we were mistaken about him being free, for soon after he was wed. But we are glad to report that he “handled” both parties very well. We sincerely thank Mr. Cowin for his kind assistance in solving our class problems. On his return to school after his debut into married life tbe class gave the “newly- weds” a miscellaneous shower. Some of the things which they received to start them out in their matrimonial career, were: Clothes pins, dolls, baby shoes, safety pins, blocks, etc. Our class was represented on the second team in boys’ basketball by Wylie Harris and Elmer Stoddard. The Sophomores on the girls’ basketball team were Lucille Baumberger, Irma Lodge, Tlialus Steed and Rella Birch, with Mildred Meredith as sub. Our class officers for the Second Semester were: President Carrie Zeimer Yi e President Elva Orme Secretary and Treasurer Irma Lodge The Sophomores showed very good talent in the declamatory contest. There was a great deal of competition between classes, but (as everv one admitted), the Sophomore contestants exceeded them all- The ones representing our class in the local contest were: S ' lerwin Ellingson in oratorical, Irma Lodge in dramatics. Mildred Meredith and also Tlialus Steed in humorous. Our humor was so very good it was very hard to choose between the two contestants. No other class could see the bright side of life as well as ours, so the school was represented in the district contest by Mildred. Our class party, held on April 14. was a delightful success. The gym was artistically decorated in our class colors, brown and orange. The refreshments were very unusual and most pleasing. Everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. We are looking forward to our Junior year, for we are hoping to make an excellent record . Page Forty-one Page Forty-three Page Forty -four T H E T ATT L E R Freshmen Glass Report The first (lav of school the Freshmen timidly sought the office to register. The upper classmen looked upon us as a bunch of green-horns, but we ' re not so green as they thought, for one of the Freshies has been First Honor Student of the High School for the year. Our class is the largest and yet the absences and tardies are comparatively small. In football, we were represented by three players. As basketball players we were not a great success, but we hope to do better in the coming years as a result of our practice. The Freshies came out strong for the Declamatory Contest, being represented by eleven in the class contest. The following represented us in the Primary Contest: Oratorical Chandler Garrett Dramatic . . • Cora Jackson Humorous . . . Dorothy McDonald At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President Vice President Secretary and Treasurer Class Advisor Verda White William Stevens Nila Hunter Mrs. Bell Second Semester officers were: President . • Chandler Garrett Vice President Dorothy McDonald Secretary and Trea surer Agnes Connelly On March 3, the Freshies gave their annual party. The decorations were artistically arranged. A splendid time was reported by everyone. Page Forty- five I’a .s Forty-seven THE TATTLER A Bit of Philosophy Never think your case is hopeless. This Old Life is what you make it. It will be all tears or sunshine, Just as you see fit to take it. There’s no room in this world for sadness. Treat your worries with a smile, For the Guy who laughs at trouble Is a Guy, ' you’ll find, worth while. When there’s fun to have, go have it, Let tomorrow bring what may. Were your troubles less this morning ’Cause you worried yesterday? If you’ve got two-bits, go spend it. Show the world that you’re a sport. Even if the odds are against you, Grin and bear it, Life’s too short. For when you’re spent, and bent and broken, In the river you may fall. Folks will bury you for nothing — It’s a good World after all. — Selected. � Page Forty -eight T H E T A T T L E R John’s Chance John Arnold had been two years at College, but had never made himself prominent beeause he was so backward and shy. He had no real friends, though the boys all treated him kindly, for he was too backward to mix with them. When the boys asked him to come to the parties, he would go and sit in a corner and look on, never taking part in the fun. He was afraid lie would do something wrong, something that would make them all look and laugh at him. He loved music and longed to take part in the musical concerts and contests and to be in the boy’s crowd and play and sing for them, but he was afraid to show his talent — - though lie really Icngccl for the chance. It was at the close of the year. The College was giving its annual program and they were trying to make it more successful than it had ever been before. They had heard rumors of the wonderful program Bingham College was giving and so they were doing their best to defeat them. The great nig lit arrived and a large crowd assembled, full of expectation. John w ' as beh nd the scenes, sitting in his corner looking on. when one of the boys rushed in excitedly and cried, “Johnson’s been hurt in a car accident and can’t play. What will w T e do?” “Oh, he’s our best man,” moaned one. “Can’t we get someone else?” another suggested. “Well, who’ll we get?” the first one said sarcastically. “You know there isn’t another one in school who can play and sing like Ted can. Of course, we can get someone who can’t play half as well and have it turn out a fizzle. Well, Andy, will you volunteer to go in and make it a success?” “You know r I can’t play as good as you can,” hotly retorted Andy. “Maybe you’d bet- ter go in, I’m sure you can do better than even Johnson could.” Shut up! Will—” Boys, boys, this is no time to quarrel,” the professor ejaculated. “We’ve got to get someone to fill his place right now, so it’s up to you, now who’ll volunteer?” Not a voice or hand was lifted until John jumped up, his eyes shining. He had for- gotten his shyness, his awe of these prominent leaders, and was ready to show the boys what he could do. “I’ll play,” he said simply. “You play ” they all sneered. “Why, you can’t play. This is no time for joking.” “I CAN play, and I will. 1 promise that if yon let me go in I’ll not spoil the program. Please let me have my chance,” he begged. “Well, w r e’ve got to have someone and if you can play, alright,” said the professor. So John was put on the list of entertainers. His name was the very last, and he realized that he must do his best for his own sake, as this was his one chance for prominence, and for the school’s sake. He must NOT fail them. The program started and gradually neared its end. John was the next number. His name was introduced. As in a dream he walked out on the stage, bowed to the waiting audience, all fright gone- He had gained mastery of himself. The crowd was surprised as it had never seen this tall, good-looking young man before, and they were anxiously wondering what he could do. John walked up to the piano, with faith and assurance in himself. He seated himself and started to play. He seemed to put his very soul into it. The music seemed to cry out in agony in the loneliness and despair and sadness of his heart. Just what he had longed to express in words he put into the music. When the piece was finished not a sound was heard. The house was dumfounded. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. This boy’s music had struck a sympathetic chord in them- It had appealed to them. John was in despair — he had failed. He walked off the stage, disheartened. He had Page Forty -nine THE TATTLER to go back to the crowd a failure. But when lie walked out behind the scenes the crowd did not act like he supposed they would. The boys were not angry, as he expected them to be, hut sat there dumbfounded. He walked up to them and said, in a mournful voice: “Boys, I’m sorry I did not succeed for you. 1 thought I could; in fact, I was sure 1 could.” “Sorry!” they all echoed in surprise- “Why, hoy, that was great, simply wonderful. It was better than Johnson could have done- “Listen to that,” the professor said, laying his arm fondly across his shoulders. He listened. The crowd had gone wild. It roared, it clapped, it shouted! “Are they encoring for ME?” he asked in surprise. “Why, certainly. Go out and play again.” And they pushed him out on the stage. He walked to the piano and played again. This time it was not sadness, but gladness. The music rang out in triumph and happiness- He played as he had never played before. As if his loneliness and sorrow had all fled from him, leaving a joyful soul. He sang in the chorus and held the audience spellbound and breathless. When he had walked off the stage the crowd shouted and cheered. This was the great- est moment of his life. All that applause was for HIM. He could hardly realize it, yet it was true. He had come to his own at last. He was one of the crowd. He could mingle with them now and take part in the sports and fun — which he had longed so to do. He had succeeded- — N. J. ’24.

I’RR ' e Fifty THE TATTLER H ow To Make Friends The way to make friends is easy As breathing the fresh morning air. It isn’t an art to be studied Alone by the men who can spare The time from their every-day labors To ponder on classical lore; It never is taught in a college, And isn’t a trick or a chore. The way to make friends is to be one; To smile at the stranger you meet; To think cheerful thoughts and to speak them Aloud to the people you greet; To hold out your hand to a schoolmate, And cheerfully say, “Howdy-do!” In a way that he’ll know that you mean it — That’s all that’s expected of you. Be honest in all of your dealings, Be true to your word and your home, And you’ll make friends — never doubt it — Wherever you happen to roam. Condemn not the pupil who falters, Nor fawn on the rich and the great; Speak kindly to all who approach you, And give up all whining at fate. — E. L. J. ’23. Page Fifty-one THE TATTLER Conglomerate Craziness Wealthy, Tlialus, Erma, Joe, Bob and Henry, deciding to go to Crater Lake Park for a picnic, convention necessitated a chaperon, so they decided to take Miss Spencer because of her youth and unsophistication. They started for the Lake and Wood in a Hudson Otto. For lunch they had brought a hamper full of good things to eat, consisting of a box of McDonald’s chocolates, Hammond eggs, Beans and raisins. They arrived early and decided to find a nice place to rest. Oh. here is a beautiful Little Ferney Bauer,” cried Erma. “Let’s eat.” They had just sat clown when Wealthy cried, “Oh. here is a Crawley Snell. I won ' t stay here.” They went on and at last came to a Lodge, situated near the Lake. They went in and asked the keeper if they might rest a while- He answered n the affirmative and all went around to examine things. From the top of the ceiling there suspended a beautiful Chand- leer. The keeper tolcl them they could go up in the Garrett if they wished, and from here many Spiers could be seen from distant towns. They ate their lunch here and decided to go sightseeing in the Wood field (s) around the Lake. They went up Hill and down Dale, and met a hunter who told them that the Woods abounded in Birds and Munk(eys). He said, “If you vill go on you vill soon come to De Camp.” They passed a Smith on a Steed and he had, following him, a Bernard clog, which ran from their sight among the Birches. A little farther on they saw, in a clearing, a fight. It was between two Black and White Banta Cox. “Oh, it isn ' t Wright to let them fight; stop them,” demanded Miss Spencer- So Henry, because she was Armstrong, put a finish to the fight. When they were going back. Wealthy got tangled up in some poison Iva. She screamed. “Mark my word, you’d better stay away from here if you don ' t want to lose an Orme.” “I see a House; let’s go and get a drink of water.” A young Butler came to the door and told them that the son of an 01(d) son was the owner of the House and it was against the Law to enter it. So they went back and soon found their Hudson Otto. On their return they started down a Hill and someone cried, Be careful, or you’ll Buster.” Which they did, and in proper shape. They all started to walk back and Tlialus and Joe went faster than the rest to get a vehicle to get the rest of the “bunch” home. Joe asked Tlialus if she was going to Mary Raymond and if he had Nealed to her, with Soule in eyes, as if she were as precious as a Pearl, Ruby, Ora different precious stone. Tlialus answered that she would have to ask Erma. They immediately came upon a Hackworth while and sent for the rest of the “bunch.” and returned to their Holmes as Gladas could be to get back. — V. A- ’22. Page Fifty-two Pase Fifty -three THE TATTLER 4 On The Gridiron “Come on, boys!” yelled the captain. “Let ' s go.” Instantly there was a hurry and a bustle as the boys all tried to crowd through the narrow doorway at once to see what was up. “Come, we’ll go where we won’t be heard and don’t stop to ask questions, just follow me. I’ll explain later,” said the captain excitedly. The boys of the football team followed their captain in astonishment, each finding it hard to check the many questions that came to his lips. He led them down a narrow , side street and through a dirty alley to an old shed. Here he stopped and the boys gath- 1 ered around him. In an excited whisper he began to explain. “Listen, boys, if we don’t do something right now we re going to lose the game tomor- row with Aldon. I think you know that means we ll lose the championship that we’ve worked so hard for and we have been so sure of.” The boys started at this and gasped in astonishment. Then they all cried out in ex- citement and wonder. “Why can ' t we win? Who’s going to stop us?” “Good gosh, Jake, give us an explanation!” ■Oh, say, cap, don’t keep us in such suspense any longer; explain yourself.” “Well, listen boys, now don’t interrupt me and I ' ll tell you. You know this Bud Has- tings and his cronies from Caldwell? ' 1 ’ They all nodded assent. ' “Well, they all seem so sure we’re going to lose tomorrow. I hadn’t thought much about it because you all know how they hated us for winning the championship last year. But just now I saw Bill Daily, cur new sub, in a very earnest conversation with them. When 1 passed, he slipped out of sight behind one of the fellows and the rest of the boys seemed rather uneasy. But when 1 had passed I heard one of them say, “Bill, meet us at our old shed at 4 o’clock, and we’ll make it worth your while.” That’s all I heard, but something’s up. Maybe they are going to bribe him into telling our signals, and they know our last year’s ones. Come on, let’s investigate, it’s four now.” The boys, one by one, ran quietly up the alley, then slipped along the walls to a large shed standing in the midst of a group of trees. One tree stood at the rear of the building, making the opening into the loft almost invisible. The boys in turn climbed up the tree and through the window into the loft. There they lay listening, hardly daring to move. Through a crack in the floor they saw Bud Hastings and his cronies come in and crowd around Bill Daily. Each of the boys in the room below took all the money in his pockets and laid it on an old box around which the boys were assembled. Bud Hastings then addressed Bill in a coaxing tone, saying, “Bill, here’s $20 if you ' ll tell us those signals and if Aldon wins from Wilson, you’ll get $20 more. You don’t care who wins. You know you don’t like those boys of Wilson High, so come on, be a sport, and tell us.” “No, boys, I can’t. It wouldn’t be fair to them,” Bill replied, whiningly. Bud narrowed his eyes and said in an ugly, threatening voice, “If you don’t, we’ll tell Mr. Arnold, the athletic manager, how you tripped Jake purposely when he had the ball and tried to lose the last game. I think you ' ll come to terms now.” “Oh, von wouldn’t do that,” he whimpered. But when he looked up into the ugly faces above him he knew that they would and so he hesitatingly told all he knew of the Wilson boys’ signals and plans. Jake and the other football boys waited for no more, but climbed quietly down and raced ior the club room. Here they gathered around the table and listened to Jake’s plan. They were all exceedingly angry to think that they had such a traitor among them. “We’re absolutely lost if we don’t have some new signals. We’ve to make some new ones,” exclaimed Jake. ' flu ' boys worked hard and carefully made new signals. Page Fifty-four THE TATTLER “We’ll not say anything, but Aldon will not win for they can never get on to these,” remarked Jake in a confidential tone. The next day they told Bill they wouldn’t practice again before the game, but they practiced the new signals diligently in a field outside of town. By Thursday afternoon they had fully regained their confidence. Both teams were on the field in their uniforms, ready to play. Aldon seemed very sure and confident of the championship. Jake gave bis last instructions to his team before the game was called. Both teams went into the game with vim and the spirit of determination. The visiting ‘ team seemed sure of every move on the part of the Wilson boys, but each time the boys made some play that was entirely different from what they expected. Aldon was completely baffled and played wildly at first. They soon decided that they were deceived by Bud Hastings, and that they weren’t going to get that game unless they fought for it. Neither of the teams were able to score in the first half, but the second half began with both teams confident of victory. Aldon got away with a rush and swept their opponents off their feet. With a series of line bucks and a forward pass they carried the ball within five yards of Wilson’s goal with one down to make it in. “Thirty-eight, twenty-two, sixty-three,” came the signal from the quarterback as lie swept around the right end and was downed three inches across the line. The Aldon rooters jumped up and down in a frenzy of excitement. Aldon failed to kick goal and the score was (i to 0 in favor of Aldon. Wilson chose to receive and the teams fought nip and tuck in the middle of the field. Captain Jake was becoming desperate — he must do something — a bold plan entered his head. Calling the quarterback to him he whispered a few directions. The teams lined up for play, “Fifty-four, thirv-six, one hundred ninety-five!” The quarterback clapped his hands. Captain Jake stepped back. The ball was snapped. The quarterback was away in a wide run around right end. Around the enemies’ tacklers he circled. He was off down the stretch for a touchdown. But just as victory seemed sure the Aldon safety came like a whirlwind. The game was lost for he was noted for his sure tackling. He made a dive for the quarterback’s legs, but the wary quarterback gave the ball a little toss over his head just as he was hurled to the ground and Captain Jake, run- ning furiously behind, snatched the hall and dashed over the line for a touchdown. The score was tied but Wilson could win by kicking goal, getting the necessary point. Captain Jake held the ball. The whistle was blown, the ball touched the ground and the quarterback lifted it high in the air. Everyone watched in silence as the ball descend- ed, hit the post and rolled over the bar just as the referee sounded the whistle. They had won! The championship was theirs ' — N. .7. 24.

Neal White (Captain) Douglas Lee Rosenlof The past football season has been a successful one, not only because of games won, but because a little interest was aroused in the town and community. St. Anthony will be put on the map athletically when someone besides the team becomes interested in winning the games. The team this year was far from being developed to its best possibilities, being- handicapped by a late start, lack of equipment and training. Also St. Anthony had for opponents only schools mu li larger and better equipped. How we compare with schools our own size was well demonstrated in the games with Ashton. The fact that St. Anthony played superior ball to Pocatello, division champions and runners-up for the state title, and that we beat Blackfoot, who in turn beat Pocatello twice, places St. Anthony among the best high school teams in the state. St. Anthony rolled up a total of 130 points, as compared with the opponents’ 78. The team as a whole did very creditable work, while the playing of several of our men has been highly spoken of by football critics, especially the work of Sharp at fullback, Kershaw at tackle and Breckenridge at center. Jackson played a good game at end and the kicking of Chase was surpassed by none of our rivals. Captain Ferney, who was probably our best defensive player, deserves much credit not only for his playing, but for the way he handled the team. A second team was organized this year for the first time in our history. Although they were a strange looking bunch, owing to an inadequacy of uniforms, they more than made up in willingness what they lacked in clothing and experience. A second team is very important, as it is the on ly means of developing new players. Coached by Prof. Banta, the scrubs have learned much this season and next year should Ice able to give a good ac- count of themselves. THE GAMES St. Anthony — 31 St. Anthony — 12 St. Anthony — 0 St. Anthony — lb St. Anthony — 40 St. Anthonc — 7 St. A n th on v — 21 Industrial School — - 0 Pocatello — 13 Idaho Falls — 35 Blackfoot — 17 Ashton — 0 Blackfoot — 12 Ashton — 0 Total 130 Ease Sixty-one T E R H E A game with the State Industrial School as a feature of the County Fair marked the opening of the season. Both teams displayed some real football in this game in spite of the fact that there had been no opportunity for practice. But St. A. H. S. had the punch that the opponents lacked and was going strong tor the sixth touchdown at the final whistle. Score — St. A. H. S. — 31; 1 S. — 0. The game with Pocatello on 1-nday, October 7. showed what the team was capable of; also it showed several improvements oxer previous games. According to spectators, Poca- tello xvas clearly outplayed, St. A. making two earned touchdowns to the visitors’ one. Pleven times our team made first down, while Pocatello succeeded in making her downs but three times. Our first touchdown was scored when Y ager received a long forward pass and crossed after a twenty-yard dash. Soon after a fumble was recovered and another six points added to our lead. Pocatello s “freak touchdown was made in the last few miniutes of play when a blocked punt rolled across our goal line, p utting tnem one point m the lead. Features of the game were St. Anthony s touchdoxvn in the first minute of play and Po- catello’s uncommonly good luck. The first week after institute the team journeyed to Idaho Falls, where they were de- feated by the I. F. champs by a score of 35 to 0. The team was “off that day and simply couldn’t get into action. The loss of practice the preceding xveek of vacation was clearly shown and the team was greatly handicapped by the crippled condition of the backfield. St. Anthony was outplayed in this game, but had Idaho Falls consented to play a return game, the result would undoubtedly have been much different. A horde of husky Blackfoot Indians invaded our city, Friday, October 21st, xvith the scalps of Pocatello, Aberdeen, etc., hanging from their belts, intent on adding ours to their collection. A few hours later the same war-party might have been seen limping slowly out of town, the more fortunate members of the tribe supporting or carrying their sick and wounded. (A closer inspection would have revealed the fact that no additional scalps adorned their persons.) This game was perhaps the best and roughest of the season, the Red and Black emerging victorious with three touchdowns to Blackfoot’s two. All of the team fought like wildcats, as was testified to by the number of injuries. Tiny Sharp xvas the star of the game, making two of St. Anthony’s three touchdowns. Our ancient enemies from Ashton were next taken into camp — 40 to 0. They fought well but were no match for our more experienced grid demons. In spite of the fact that St. Anthony played her second team most of the game, the visitors were unable to stop our plunges and were equally ineffective in penetrating our line. In this game the scrubs had a chance to show their wares and they lived up to all expectations. Touchdowns were made by Sharp, Meredith, Armstrong and Jackson. In the second game with Blackfoot, St. Anthony started weak and two B ' nekfoot touchdowns were scored before we strengthened enough to stop their plunges. After that it was a case of hold ’em, Blackfoot. In the third quarter, Del White interrupted a forward pass and sprinted half the length of the field for a St. Anthony touchdown. Another touchdown for us seemed certain until Bill Jackson, who had received a long forward pass, stumbled in the act of dodging the last man between himself and the goal. In the last minute of play victory again seemed ours when, with St. A. within ten yards of the goal on first down, the head linesman (whose business, by the way, is tending line), seemed to think we were too close to victory for lie penalized us 15 YARDS for what he called an offside play, which both the referee and umpire, who were there for no other purpose, failed to see. The boys were unable to find out, while they xvere in Blackfoot, just how much that linesman had bet on the game Score — St. A. H. S. 7; Blackfoot 12. Ashton had improved considerably when we met her for the second time. As in the previous game, her warriors fought hard, but lacked the necessary punch to score. Altho met with very stubborn resistance, St. A. scored after a few minutes of play on straight football and again when Jackson received a forward pass shortly before be was forced from the game by injuries. Another touchdown was made in the last quarter, making the final score 21 to 0. But four members of the team are leaving this spring, and as there are several capable men ready to take their places, a good team for the coming season is assured. Page Sixty-three THE TATTLER Basket Ball Although this was Ii is first year with us, Coach C. M. Mangun has produced wonderful results with the basketball team. His new system of teaching basketball, emphasizing training and the psychology of the game, seemed to furnish just what was lacking. Mr. Mangun has worked as hard as any member of the team and has firmly established a repu- tation here, as a coach and as a man. “I wish, I can, 1 will! These are the three trumpet notes to VICTORY.” Captain Armstrong played his last year for St. Anthony in brilliant style. He was a hard and consistent worker, and one of the fastest guards in the league. “Cap” is a nat- ural leader, always in the fight, and when a score is needed most he can be depended upon to dribble through the defense and hit the basket for a marker. “ ‘Fran’, we will miss you.” “Big Hebe” Sharp is to captain St. Anthony’s hoop artists next year. He is a tower of strength at center, clever at taking the tip-off. and always gets his share of the bas- kets. He is a good shot from the foul linte, but his special stunt is batting the ball into the basket from the toss-up. “He rose an athlete.” “Long Shot” John Bauer, is a “hawk” at guarding the basket. The high ones and the low r ones are gathered in and returned to the forwards, but if there are no openings he does not hesitate to score a goal from the center of the floor. John’s long shots are acci- dents, but they are accidents on purpose. “Always on the job.” “Del’ White has a good eye for the basket, and is noted for his versatility and ability to follow the ball. It is his first year on the first team and he played his forward position with distinction. “While we live, let’s live.” Frank Soule is the “tiger” of the team. He is handy with the ball in any position, quick in all his movements, and a forty-minute f.ghter. He keeps his guard guessing and is always there when it comes to mix-ups. “Impossible is to be found only in the dictionary of fools.” “Rosie” Rosenlof plays a grand position. His genial smile that is always in evidence, no matter what happens, makes him popular with the spectators. He is fast and allows his men very little freedom of action. “He worked his way upward and prevailed.” Lloyd Ferney plays equally wel l at either guard or forward. He is the only southpaw on the team and often fools his guard by a left-hand toss of the ball for a basket. Lloyd is game and a first-class stayer. “ No ordinary athlete.” “Bill” Jackson is manager of the team. He knows good soup, what it should cost, and is a Jew” when it comes to watching the purse srtings. He is an efficient business mana- ger, and has pulled the team through a difficult financial year in good shape. “Destiny marked him a man of affairs to be.” Page Sixty-four THE TATTLER With but two letter-men of last year ' s squad back, Coach Mangun has developed this year one of the most successful basketball teams in the history of the school. Its success can best be shown by citing a few of the things accomplished this season. In the first place. St. Anthony won six out of the eight league games played, losing only the two played with the state “champs” from Driggs. Sugar City was beaten for the first time in five years. Ashton was defeated on her own floor, a thing St. Anthony has been unable to do for several years. But probably the most joy of all was caused when St. A. paid a very old debt by introducing to defeat our old friends from Rexburg. The L. D. S. Uni- versity team, runners-up for the Utah state championship, was held by St. A. to a 36-20 score, (18-16 first half), in our first game of the season. This team has since beaten the leading teams in Utah by much larger scores, so it is evident that the St. A. H. S. five could hold its own with the best high school teams in Utah. The boys are already planning for the next year’s basketball season, and as only one member of t lie squad is graduating, and as the basketball spirit in St. Anthony is better than ever before, prospects are bright for a championship team. An unusually good second team was developed this year. Besides furnishing the first team with excellent practice, the “dinglings” made a fine record in playing teams from other towns, having lost but two out of seven games played. The second-string lineup was: Forwards — Fernev. McDonald and Harris; Centers — Reeder and Brecken ridge; Guards — Rosenlof and King. ’ THE GAMES St. A. H. S. settled an old score when she beat Sugar City in the opening game of the season at Sugar City. Sugar has long had a reputation for turning out good teams and this year was no exception to the rule, but superior teamwork and better wind einabled our hoopsters to roll up 25 points to Sugar’s 18. At the end of the first half they lead by two points, but after a council of war between halves, cur boys tame back with a burst of speed that Sugar was powerless to stop, and at the end of the Half they were outdistanced by 16 points. On January 14, the Victor High School team failed to live up to its name when it met the St. A. five” on our floor. Although this game wasn ' t as fast as some, there were oc- casional exciting moments and some real basketball was displayed. This was Victor’s first year in the league, but her team showed willingness and fight and was lacking only in ex- perience. A feature of this game was St. Anthony’s close guarding, Victor being held to two field goals. Score — St. A. 30; Victor 6. Victor received another trimming at our hands the following week, when our team took the annual trip to Driggs and Victor. Victor’s floor, which is about Half the size of ours, put a crimp in our teamwork, but nevertheless, we succeeded in making 24 points, at the same time holding them to two field goals. St. A — 24; Motor 6. The next night we took on Driggs — and we were beaten. This was partly because we didn’t have our regular lineup and partly because the Driggs team played so much better than our team did. At any rate, when the game was over there appeared on the score- board in large white letters — DRIGilS 61 ; ST. ANTHONY 15. Driggs played her first team all the time and seemed to be trying to make a new world’s record, and all that can be said is that our team was outplayed. Saturday, January 28th, brought the Driggs champions to our city with the firm belief that they would repeat the trouncing they had given us the week before. They abandoned this belief after a very few minutes of play, however, for the St. A. team played with a teamwork ecpial to the Driggs five and simply refused to be left behind. The first half was about even, both teams making the same number of field goals, but the referee saw fit to call three fouls on the crowd for remarks made with reference to his decisions which made the score 11 to 8. The last half Driggs came back like a cyclone, but the St. A. boys were equal to the occasion and put the fear of defeat into them by uncorking a burst of speed which tied the score and put us three in the lead. Then “Tiny” Sharp, our star center, was injured and the five minutes following gave them a ten-point lead. Our team Page Sixty-five THE TATTLER strengthened and held them down the rest of the game, hut could not overcome the lead, so Driggs got away with another victory, plus a bad scare. St. Anthony had no trouble in defeating the Ashton “five 1 ’ on the following Saturday. This game featured no jui jitsu contests nor rough and tumble fights, thereby differing from most Ashton-St. Anthony games of previous years. Ashton experienced a little diffi- culty in getting the ball through the hoop and in preventing it from dropping through ours, but in spite of this they kept their temper very well. They were without the servi.es of their two best players and played a defensive game entirely, which made the game a slow one. The final score was St. A. 22; Ashton 8. The old-time fued was revived with interest when St. Anthony played at Ashton. Al- though courteously treated while in Ashton, the sight of our old black and red uniforms seemed to awaken distasteful memories in the Ashton players, for they battled furiously from start to finish. But the Saints were not lacking in fight and although many fouls were called, owing to the polished floor. Ashton was decisively outplayed. She was held to three field goals, the rest of her points being made from the free throw line. All hos- tilities were diplomatically avoided by cur bunch, so. aside from the little diffi ulties aris- ing during the game and a ten-minute session of fierce arguing over the score directly following it, friendly relations were maintained. One of the most exciting and hard-fought contests of the year was the last league game, when the Sugar City and St. A. teams battled for second place and a berth at the tournament. In Sugar City the Saints had a speedy, hard-fighting, well-coached rival and were forced to display some expert basketball to prove their superiority. Our five” start- ed the scoring and led during the entire game, but Sugar was never far behind. Sharp was high point man with seven field goals and John Bauer thrilled the crowd by caging two long ones from well past the center of the floor. Sugar scored 1 1 field goals while St. A. made 17, giving us the long end of a 36-30 score. At the sectional tournament, St. Anthony did not fare so well. The floor at Rexburg, being just twice as large as our gymnasium, demanded an entirely different brand of bas- ketball than that which our boys were accustomed to playing. Consequently, we were beaten by Rigby, 35-19, and by Idaho Falls, 25 15. But the fans were given a taste of the real basketball St. A. is capable of playing, for our team started each game with a bang and led both Rigby and Idaho Falls by a good margin until they became lost on the large floor. However, the experience was beneficial, for the team will know just what to look tor next year and can direct its practice to overcome the handicap. Most of the credit for the team’s success this year goes to Coach C. M. Mangun. Bas- ketball prospects looked gloomy at the first of the season, but this man took over a hope- less situation and developed what was considered rather poor material into a winning team. No coach has ever before gotten so close to the boys and he spared no pains or work in doing his best for the team by furnishing what was most needed — discipline and training. Another factor in our successful team is William Jackson, stellar business manager of the aggregation. “Bill” is the boy who took over a $175 debt in the gravest financial crisis in the history of the Athletic Association, and after a struggle of several months, finally succeeded in paying the last debt, so that once more our credit is good. He did everything from praying for victory, to applying tar to the soles of the shoes, and. although Ins prayers were not always answered, and though he did spill the tar on the scorebook, there is not a person in school but who thinks he could qualify for all-state manager.

Gladys Snell was elected Business Manager, and Ruth Bean Secretary and Treasurer. The basketball season was hailed triumphantly with much vim and high expectations of winning every game they played. The team became fairly well trained and began challenging teams of other towns. But to no avail. Idaho Falls, Rigby, Sugar City and Ashton — they all declined with honor. “Financially embarrassed” was their excuse. But who expected us to believe that? The girls played several inter-scholastic games, resulting in victories for tl]e Seniors and one victory for the Sophomores. This being the extent of their games, they ceased practicing. When the tournament was to lie held in Rexburg, the girls received word they were to play the Idaho Falls team. Owing to the lack of practice, our girls were defeated after a hard fight, the score being 45 to 7. The lineup was as follows: Forwards — Lucille Baumberger, Erma Lodge Guards — Melva Bean, Mary Harrigfekl; Jumping Center — Thalus Steed; Running Center — Katherine Buster; Captain — Lavon Law; Subs — Barbara Henrichs, Rella Birch. Miss Larabee was appointed coach and she put forth her best efforts to train the team. Class teams for Armory Ball have been organized, and class games will lie played. ‘Page Sixty-nine THE TATTLER •••• •• Debate and Declamation Owing to the many other activities in the school this year, debating was not taken up, although we could have had a very creditable team. Mr. Banta had charge of the de- bating and did all he could to arouse enthusiasm. We always consider declamation a success whether we win or not. This year it was even more so than ever, and there was keen rivalry iftween classes to place contestants in the field to represent the school. This year the students felt that this was an opportunity they could not afford to let slip by, and as a result, there were some twenty or thirty contestants trying out instead of several picked ones. For three or four w r eeks before the contest the faculty spent practically all their avail- able time in perfecting some of the hopeful aspirants. Miss Spencer, Miss Wood and Mr. Mangun should be mentioned as working especially hard to put the contest over successfully. Each class had a preliminary try-out to determine who should represent it in the class contest which decided the representatives for the district conetst. The entrants for the oratorical were: Mark Ellingson, Clyde Cox, Park Soule, Herbert Holcomb, Sherwin Ellingson, Chandler Garrett, Robert McDaniels and William Stevens. In the dramatic department: Erma Stoddard, Thelma Palmer, Reva Munk, George Clark, Irma Lodge, Nell Jackson. Cora Jackson, Rosetta Leis, Agnes Connoly, Anna Buchanan and Verda White entered. The humorous selections were all well given. Even Mr. Banta laughed. The contestants were: Lila Johnson, Ruth Bean, Mary Herrigfeld, Tlialus Steed, Mildred Meredith, Gladys DeCamp, Dorothy McDonald, Erva Neal, and Audrey Davis. In the class contest the Seniors were represented by Mark Ellingson and Erma Stod- dard; the Juniors by Herbert Holcomb, George Clark and Lila Johnson Sophomores by Sherwin Ellingson, Mildred Meredith. Irma Lodge and Tlialus Steed; and the Freshmen by Chandler Garrett, Cora Jackson and Dorothy McDonald. Mark won the oratory. Erma S+ocldard the dramatic and Mildred Meredith the humorous. The district contest was held at the High School auditorium, March 31. Contestants came from Idaho Falls, Rigby, Sugar City, Parker and Industrial School. Although we did not win first place we are proud of our representatives, and feel that they are victims of circumstances. ' age Seventy THE TATTLER Music We are sure of successful and happy school-days when we begin the day with music, and therefore follow the good policy by spending fifteen minutes almost every morning singing. Mr. Lewis conducted our singing the first semester. We will never forget his voice when we think of Love’s Old Sweet Song”. Miss Wood conducted the singing the second semester. We fcund her very capable of filling the vacancy Mr. Lewis had left. We are sure t lie music of our school aids in making it prominent. The public school should lay the foundation of morals, and music is clearly recognized as one of the moral forces by all psychologists. “There is something deep and good in melody, for body and scul go strangely together.” Tile orche tra was organized on Wednesday, October 17. with the following members: Norma Soule Director Will C. Stanton Trombone Zona Lea tli am Piano George Clark Trombone Marion Hudson Cornet Harriet C. Wood Mandolin Jenifer Watson Cornet Donald Spiers Clarinet Erma Lodge Violin Melvin Hammond Bass Viol Erma Llovcl Violin Anna Buchenau Ukulele Bernard Henrichs Drums Cora Jackson Ukulele We have much confidence in our orchestra, and Miss Soule has proven herself a very capable and splendid leader. The select : ns they have rendered at programs, etc., have been very much appreciated by us. “Music is irresistible; its charities are countless; it stirs the feeling of love, peace and friendship as scarce any mortal agent can.” In order to bring the High School in torch with the best talent of the LTiited States, Mr. Lewis and Miss Wood arranged for a Lyceum Course. Even though this is cjuite diffi- cult and somewhat expensive, we feel that it is well worth our time and money. The Lyceum Course consisted of the following numbers: 1. The Victorian Artsts. We enjoyed the Victor ' an Artists very much. They introduced an instrument which very few had ever heard or seen — the bassoon. It appealed to us very much. The company consisted of four people, each one playing several different instruments. 2. Sam Grathwell, the “Peptimist Lecturer.” Mr. Grathwell gave a full ev ening’s entertainment on the subject: “Wake Up and Get Up.” Besids giving us something to laugh at. he gave us something to think about. 3. Herbert Leon Cope. “The Humorist.” Mr. Cope presented to us “The Religion of Laughter.” Everyone enjoyed a hearty laugh and felt that the “woUd was very pleasant aftr all.” 4. The High School Number. This number was given by the High School, Department and Grades. Tt included “The Kleptomaniac,” a play presented by the High School; “Patricia.” an opera presented by the Department and several dialogues, dances and drills by the grades. We are very proud of our school talent. 5. The Orpheus Four. “The Male Quartet.” This promises to be one of our most prominent numbers. We are sure we shall not be disappointed and feel we have gained a great deal from the Lyceum Course. — R. M. Page Seventy-one Page Seventy-three THE T A T T L E R Society When our school first began there was one thing sadly lacking — and that was what is designated as “pep” — at least, we lacked social “pep.” A Get-Acquainted party was sug- gested by the Athletic Association and they announced the date as October 7. Well, it was a lovely party — good music, good punch, good crowd! It was a benefit party and roulette wheels, card tables and other games of chance were the main attrac- tions of the evening. Only one thing marred the joy in any way — Mr. Mangun sent the boys home early — training rules. But, anyway, everyone voted a good time. Even with this good start things were slow, but on December 23, a benefit party for The Tattler was given. The “gym” v r as entirely transformed into a forest of Xmas trees, with all the decorations ’n’everything. and the man in the moon was there on time, too. The only thing lacking was Santa Claus, and as some of the Freshmen had never seen the old gentleman we were afraid they might get hysterical, as children will, and break up the party, so we asked him to kindly remain away. To offset that, an auction was held and everyone got a Xmas present anyway. February 17, to celebrate a basketball victory over Sugar City and give the losers a little consolation, we “jazzed.” The crowd was so large that the basketball boys needed all their art in dodging to steer their partners around the floor. In spite of the crowd everyone expressed a fond hope of soon having another such good time. On March 4, our Freshies came to the front line of battle by entertaining the High School and faculty. The gym was decorated in green and gold — Freshie class colors — and out of regard for the other classes, all pennants graced the walls. Delicious punch was served and the faculty spent the evening teaching the Freshies to dance. We must admit they were apt pupils. We will sav that the Freshmen class certainly showed everyone a good time. March 11 a “Forty-niners’” ball was held in the gym. There was a “bar” across one end of the gym, and bottles, too— but, alas nothing stronger than punch in them. A rou- lette wheel and card tables were strongly in evidence and everyone was curicus as to the secret of several locked rooms. Cowboys and dance-hall girls, Spanish dancers and gold miners, tramps and gypsies all were there. It was certainly one wild time — guns and everything. The district declamatory contest was held on March 31, at St. Anthonv. Contestants from seven towns were here and we deckled to entertain them. Our High S hool Jazz Orchestra furnished the music, and we will say it was fine The gym was decorated with flowers and the colored lights made it reen as a spring even’ng — one could almost smell the flowers. Some of the contestants left early, hut those who remained seemed to enjoy themselves. Though the party started late, it quit early and everyone there followed the old axiom: “Early to bed.” The season’s most important social event, the Junior Prom, was given April 7. The decorations were of green and white, in honor of the Senior class, and green lights made the dancers look very fantastic. A number of parents were present and everyone had a delightful time. Refreshments were served late in the even ng, the color scheme be ' ng car- ried out in refreshments as well as decorations. The class of ’22 greatly appreciated the good time shown them. We hear reports of a Sophomore party soon and if the success of their class as Fresh- men last year may be harkened to, we are certain of a good time. Also there are rumors — as yet very faint — of a Senior Ball. Of course, everyone knows the Seniors are capable of a good entertainment. When we leave this High School behind us in our upward course of life how often will we long again for these good times. “When time who steals our years away, S ’ • a 1 1 steal our pleasures too. The memory of the past will stay. And half its joys renew.” fame Seventy -four Page Seventy-five THE T A T T L E R i Alumni The Annual Alumni Banquet was held immediately following the Commencement ex- ercises, May 27th. 1021, in the Presbyterian Church. The class of ' 21 was received into the association. Gerald Jamison acted as toastmaster and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Tyler Buchenau; 1st Vice President, Henry J. Kruger; 2nd Vice President, Norma Soule; Secretary and Treasurer, Herbert 0. McIntyre. The association will receive the class of ' 22 at the next annual meeting, May 26. 1022.

Waiter — “A steak, as usual, sir?” Patron — Xo, I’m t : red tonight; bring me some hash.” Mr. Mangun — “Such a vicious temper! Where did the child ever get it from? Xot from me, I’m sure.” Mrs. Mangun — Xo, my dear, you cer- tainly haven’t lost any of yours.” In a college test a student came upon a question he couldn’t answer, so he put down on the paper, “God knows, I don’t.” When his paper was returned he found written on it in his professor’s handwrit- ing, “God gets the credit; you don’t.” Lady — “Your little brother ■ don’t seem to talk much.” Sister — “Oh, i.t’s all in getting him start- ed.

If it’s milk that’s spilled, all you have to do is to call the cat and she ' ll lick it up cleaner’n anything.

M. — “What is your name ?” D. Me. — “You’ll find it on the envelope.” There are meters of measure, And meters of tone, But the best way to meter Is to meter alone. A little iron — a cunning curl, A box of powder — a pretty girl. A little rain, away she goes, A homely girl with a freckled nose. Teacher (severely) — “What will your father say to your low average?” Woods B. (with hesitation) — “When dad sees I’m down to zero, he’ll warm me up, I guess.” 0 woman’s crowning glory is her hair, Has oft been said. At night you ' ll find it lying everywhere But on her head.

S. — It wasn’t; it was grand.” Warren B. — Did you follow the thread of her discourse?” Lloyd J. — “No; I scon saw that she just wanted to string me.” From sunrise until set of sun Man works, but woman’s never done. The reason why she gets in Dutch Is ’cause she loafs and talks too much. Sidney — “May I print a kiss upon your lips? ’ Hazel — “Yes, provided you promise not to publish it.” Senior — Why did you break your en- gagement to C ' holly ?” Junior — He had one of those whisk- broom mustaches that kept brushing my complexion off.” Wealthy — “111 bet you wouldn ' t dare to hold a girl in your lap!” Vernon J. — “I think 1 11 take you up on that.” Were you trying to catch that train?” he asked of Fran. A. Francis eyed him balefully for a second before he hissed in reply: “Oh. no; I merely wanted to chase it out of the sta- tion.” Mr. Lewis — “How long do you want to be away on your wedding trip?” Mr. Cowin — “Well, sir — er — what would you say ?” Mr. Lewis — “How do I know — I haven’t seen the bride yet.” Senior — “And why do you think T am a poor judge of human nature?” Soph — Because you have such a good opinion of yourself.” Frantic Motorist — “Oh. officer! someone has stolen my spark plugs.” Officer — “Are ye sure ye had ’em when ye left home ?” Bill J. — “1 am indebted to you for all I know.” Miss Spencer — “Don ' t mention it; it’s a mere trifle.” “My sister,” said Nell J. to her friend, “is learning sociology.” “What’s sociology?” asked her friend. “Why, it’s the science of interfering in public affairs.” Melvin H. — To what do you attribute your long life?” Miss Wood — “Well, because 1 was born a long time liack.” Miss Wood — “Do you believe in a more elastic currency?” Erma J. — No; it’s elastic enough. Why not make it more adhesive?” Irma L. — There’s a perfect match.’ Sadie M. — “That couple over there?” I. L. — Yes; she’s a spitfire and lie’s a stick.” NOTICE TO THE FRESHMAN CLASS.

I just scratch- ed my head and my hair is fading.” He (to wife who is off for the beach) — “Now don’t forget me, dear.” She — “As if I could, Jack. The surf at night sounds just like you snoring.” Senior to Freshman — “You can’t drive a nail with a sponge, no matter how much you soak it.” Junior — “Tt is hard work that brings success.” Soph — “I know that, but it brings it to the man you’re working for.” CLEANED WHILE HE WAITED. A little fellow sat on a doorstep crying bitterly. Presently a sympathetic old lady came along. “What’s the matter, little boy?” “Got my new pants pants covered with dust,” sobbed the boy. “But they’re clean now, dear,” contin- ued the woman. “I know they are,” wailed the child. “Then why do you still cry, child?” “Cos mother wouldn’t let me take ’em off while she beat the dust out.” POOR DEL. Rella B. — “Oh, my, we ' ll surely’ be late to the theater. We’ve been waiting a good many minutes for that mother of mine ’ Dell (angrily) — “Hours, I should say.” Rella B. — “Ours, did you say? Oh, Del. this is so sudden.” Elston Me. — “And when I kissed her I smelled tobacco.” Sherwin E. — “You object to a woman smoking?” E. Me. — “No, but she doesn’t smoke.” Kenneth R. and Bob lb had just encoun tered a bulldog that looked as if he might shake a mean lower jaw. “Why, Kenneth,” she exclaimed as he started a strategic retreat. “You always swore you would face death for me.” “1 would,” he flung back over his shoul- der, “but that darn dog ain’t dead.” Page Eighty-four THE TATTLER Miss Wood — “Now, look here, Milton is doing double the work you do.” Frank S. — “That’s what I ' ve been telling him, but he won’t stop.” Professor — “So, sir, you said that I was a learned jackass, did you?” Fresh ie — “No, sir, I merely remarked that you were a burro of information.” Edgar S. — I admire the man who laughs at. danger, don’t you?” Jenifer W. — “No, I think he has a mighty poor sense of humor.” Milton M. — Student body has elected me to collect student body dues.” Warren D. — Then I congratulate you on getting a permanent job.” My geometry, ’t is of thee, Thou book of misery, Of thee I sing. I hate thy curves and angles, Thy squares and all new fangles. Thy pentagons and quadrangles, Thy chalk and strings. Teacher cranky, Juniors few. Questions flying, zero too. What ' s the matter? Don’t you know Monday morning’s always so. Kind Old Lady — “You can get work beating carpets, two doors from here; they are cleaning house.’ Elston Me. (looking for an easy job) ' — - “Thank you, mam, I migliter bumped right into it if you hadn’t warned me.” Miss Wood making an announcement in the assembly rather rapidly: “Thalus Sci- en e has lost her General Steed.” My bennie bent over the gas tank The height of the contents to see; He lightd a match to assist her — O. bring back my bonnie to me. Dale K. — “Say, paw, I can’t get these ’rithmetic examples. Teacher said some- thing ’bout finding the greatest common divisor.” Paw (in disgust) — “Great Scott! haven’t they found that thing yet? Why, they were huntin’ for it when I was a boy.” Miss Spencer — “What do you regard as the greatest novel ever written?” “Well,” replied Milton, “I have it near- ly completed, but I haven’t thought of a title yet.” Velma A. — “You say Edgar is playing with fire?” Nell J. — “Yes; lie’s going with his old flame.” If Edison’s latest invention can get in touch with some Spirits of 76, we’ll take two cases. Several of the Freshmen have decided to put their pictures in the joke department. Miss Wood — “Sid, tell me something of the Mongolian race.” S!d — “1 wasn’t there; I went to the football game.” The following note was found in Brud’s desk, addressed to Evelyn J. : Dearest: — I wish 1 could revise the al- phabet.

Can you dress a c ' ivken ?” “Not on three dollars a week ’ Milton replied. Police Judge — “Do you want a lawyer to defend you?” Wiley H. — “Not particularly, sir.” P. .1. — What do vou propose to do about the case?” W. H. — “Oh, I’m quite willing to drop it as far as I am concerned.” Agnes C. (at the football game at Ash- ton) — “How do you think we shall get along today?” Jim B. — “Well, our goal keeper ain’t much use.

She (tenderly) — “When did you first know you loved me?” He — “When I began to get mad when people said you were brainless and unat- tractive.” Stanton — “What! no supper ready? This is the limit! I’m going to the restaurant.” Wife — “Wait just five minutes.” Stanton — “Will it be ready then?” Wife — “No, bid then I’ll go with you.” Mr. Banta — “And what was Nelson’s farewell address?” . Otto P. — “Heaven, sir.” Page Eighty-six A teacher was reading to the Freshman class, when she came across the word una- aware. She asked if any one knew the meaning. Woods B. timidly raised his hand and gave the following definition: “Unaware is what you put on first and take off last.” She stood before the mirror.

' Clerk — “What size hammock do you want ?” Henrietta M. — Oh. a small hammock, just big enough for one, hut — er — strong enough for two.” In days of hoops small children clung To the mother’s skirts with tender touch. The modern mother scarcely wears Enough for one small child to clutch. Eva B. — He seems very narrow-minded in an argument.” Heber S. — “Xot at all. He admits that there are two sides to every question — his side and the wrong side.” REFORMED RULES. As we understand it, the half-Nelson and scissors holds are to be barred from the -Junior Prom.

If you don’t believe it. ask Sid.” Page Eighty-seven THE T A T T L E R “Why so melancholy, Sid?” “Hazel rejected me last night.” “Well, brace up; there are others.” “Yes, of course, but somehow I can’t help feeling sorry for the poor girl.” Emory S. — “Just liappend to run into an old friend.” Melvin H. — “Was lie glad to see you?” Emory — “You bet not; I smashed his right fender.” Soph — “One thing I imagine must puz- zle the military authorities.” Frosh— “What is that?” Soph — “How to keep a standing army in good running order.” Hazel B. — “Why do old maids go to church early?” Sid Y. — “To be there when the ‘hims’ are given out.” A grouchy dog is better to have around than a grouchy man — you can shoot the .log. Elston M. — “Would it be incorrect for me to kiss your hand?” Mary H. — “No, but it would be decidedly out of place.” Harry A. — “Mother, I learned that our Sunday school teacher doesn’t take baths.” Mother — “What do you mean?” Harry — “She said that she never did anything in private that she wouldn’t do in public.” Mary H. — “I hear Mr. Lewis thinks Bill has a real genius for reciting, Erma.” Erma J. — “Yes.
