The Companies I repre- sent are staunch and honest: other- wise, they would not be in the busi- ness. We do not settle claims while the fire is burning, but do it as quickly thereafter as the matter can be arranged. Would like to talk with you on the matter a few min- utes. A little Fire Insurance car- ried on household furniture or dwelling, would be very comforting in case of fire. REAL ESTATE LOANS RENTALS Established 1889 JEWELERS Frank L.

Johnson, '10, Page 'Twenty-three Senior Sentiments Somewhere, far in the misty future, our lives await us, Our real lives, I mean, with their struggles and trials already woven in the web. But back of us lie four happy years, fraught with memories of youth, never to be excelled. It is said that the four years of High School are the best of one's life. Have we made ours so? Looking back, there are many things we could have done differently, many things we might have accomplished that were left undone, but as a whole. is this bit of the web so poorly woven? VVe're probably the last class to graduate from the old building. To those who are to come we wish great success in their new environment-still. we are glad to have finished here where we began. Freshmen we started-green as the proverbial Freshie of history-yet with promise, even then. Sophomores we became, important, big-headed Ca chronic state of Sophomor- ismb, yet energetic-and necessary to the school. Then -Tuniors! How we looked forward to that year with its activities and happiness in doing! And finally, the dawn of Seniorism! W'hat a year this has been-each one doing their best in spite of all the obstacles to be surmounted. There is a saying from the Chinese that Glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time you fall. We have striven with the best of our ability to live up to the adage, and have in nowise failed. Partial success is never failure, and each upward stride shows a gain in the things by which men reckon achievement. Thus has the culmination of our High School life been accomplished. Gur class has reached its zenith-but with the thought that the light of our High School days is soon to fade. And the old institutions-they're passing with us. From year to year come new ideas and new minds to whom the old customs seem unnecessary and even backward. But to us, fraught with sentiment as they are, they symbolize a feeling -a thought-the SP1-Tiff which pervades us and gives us the loyalty which has so often been tried and is still to be found wanting. The school will be a strange place without them, these old ideas, and we are thankful they have out-lived us. So before us lies the future. The unfolding picture of our lives is just begun. It holds for us much joy and sorrow-yet, dear old school. weve left within your portals some of the happiest and best years we are destined to live, and its 'with regret and sadness that we see approaching the time when we leave you-forever. As we look back from the future years, seeking inspiration to renew the ight, may we still hear-ringing down through Time, still potent with its significance, the song we too, have loved and sung so loyally, to stir the hearts in the tight: N 7 Fight for the honor of her, Keeppup her spirit, brother, W'in tor the St. ,Toe High. -.v.

Return fond sleep, since morn have I pursued thee. Even in school I faithfully have worshipped, Until at last my faith has been dispersed, Because, when sought, thou did'st deny thyself. Here in this room with English am I bored. But thou, false friend, do still evade my eyelids, Wvhich action do I now pronounce as horrid. And now at night ever refuse thy bids. But alas, as now this ode I do compose, Unbidden thou hast stolen upon me, And in spite of my pro-tests do eyelids close, Until again in joyful dreams I see Visions of paradise, in which no more I, in English class, abhorred, will be, EXTRACTS FRGM THE GENERAL INFORMATION TEST.

Could it be a star? No I-Think again: someone reaches for it but does not get it, the radiant object. He tries again and again, but with the same ill luck. A second, a little older person, also clutches for the brightness, even longer than the first, and lo l-he obtains itl It is-yes, it is a diploma! The first person named is a Junior, because he Worked for, but did not quite get, that which he tried for. The last one is called a Senior because he worked longer and harder than the first, and was a little older, thus Winning it. Hard Work and a long time Won for that which every one yearns, the long so-ught-diploma l But the Junior will eventually get the object of his desire. A bit more time, a little more Work, is what he needs. So the Juniors of '17 are working and clutching for their credits. They will soon get them and thus gain the b-right diploma. Certain points in the Junior year must be scored before the class may be termed a success, and before the diploma may be rightfully won. First-the class should be represented by men in athletic Work-football, basketball, baseball, tennis. track and anything else which may be put forth in the school. T17 has been represented in each of these sports by two or perhaps more men. Second-there is the band, of which all have heard, with '17 well repre- sented in the organization. And the orchestra, another Worthy institutio-n, is also upheld by the Junior members to a great extent. Third-a play must be given called the Junior Farce. This year's- 'llsooking for Nlary Jane -promises great success. Next-the social life must have a place. This was fulfilled in the Junior- Senior Prom, and soon other class parties will probably bring other successes. Then-- Last, the best of all the game, is the Work that must be done. A Junior, one must gain a foothold by hard work in preparation for the cul- minating year, as Seniors. ' This is the first year in which outside people have not asked, 'fAre you Freshmen ? Do you suppose that We have looked so green every other year? This, also, is the only year that the Freshmen do not say, The old stuck-ups, or 'fsmartiesf' But instead, now that We arejuniors, they merely say, 'll guess so, the Juniors said it was that Way. Glancing across the page you will see the reason for lI7'S notoriety. VVe are all happy, and Happiness rules the world. So the year rolls around and we pass into Seniorism. But all hail the Junior '17's-class of honor, happiness and achievement. B. Truscott, ,I7. Page Thirty one x Page Thirty-two 1 R In 1 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 r ..:.,...:.

VVe were Freshies, first, like any of you, but not 'ljust Freshies lo-ng -we showed our unity and class spirit from the lirst. The Freshman dance, in '15, was the best all around success of all the attempts of that year, not omitting those dances enjoyed'l by the upper classmen. Along with the glory we took our l'm,edicine and prepared to- enjoy the results of the dose. lfVe have always contributed our share to the various athletics of the school. W'e claim Schreiber and Zick from the championship basket-ball team of 1915-I6, which will always have a big place in the annals of the High School. VVe also claim several players of the foot-ball teams of 1914 and 1915. Notwitjhstanding our ability to- produce good men in all branches of athletics, we have a few sharks in the class-room, although we had the repu- tation of being a class which tried to get through via the ro-ute of least resistance. That was only as Freshmen. YVe are Sopihomores now, and have outgrown that loathsome title, having passed it down to the present Freshman class. The vice-president, secretary and treasurer of the Crescent Society were chosen from o-ur ranks, and with this majority of the oflicers, we will work for the betterment of the Crescent Society, and the whole of the St. joe High, just so far as it is in o-ur po-wer. -Guy Crelzore, 'IS fTt's all in the Way you look at it.-THE EDITORJ Page Thirty FL ',-:H Page Thirtyeix .'

Listen: here are a few questions. W'hen there is chalk in the ink-wells, who puts it there? Freshmen? Never. But we are blamed. Wvhen books are stacked, do the Freshmen do it? Never. Wlhen anyone makes a disturbance in the assembly, who does it? Freshmen? Never. CW'hat?'j Wle seem to be blamed for all of these deeds, but broad-minded people can plainly see that such things are not performed by innocent Freshmen, because, living up to our reputation, we have to be innocent babes. ln the assemblies we study so hard that the teachers are really worried about us. CVVorried to think that in a few days we will be taking two or perhaps no subjects at all.j Wle manage to get through in half a dozen years and, can you believe it, some of the brilliant ones get through in live! But, to come down to bare facts for a change! We will complete our high-school course in four years. We are not like the Sophomores, who try to amuse us, or rather, try to make us think they do not have to study. -ind it certainly does amuse us when they remain Sophs for two years! Wie Wouldn't mind being Freshmen forever, but to be a Sophomore for more than one year would disgrace us for life. But, you ask, Uwhat has this class of 1919 done? One thing-we painted 1919 all over the sidewalks to make people realize our existence, We furnished a man for the football team: we had good players on the second team of basketball: and we had a very artistic and attractive table at the Crescent Banquet, even though it was our first attempt at decorating. In the center of our table We had a small Ford covered with our class colors, so, WVe're not so slow, after all. VVe're trying to make something of ourselves, and aim to push until, indeed, we reach the top. Qur ideals are high, and, considering that, our class as a whole is one to be proud of. And so, we claim to be as good a Freshman class as St. Joesph ever had, and in the coming years may it not be Has goodl' but always the best. J. ilfforse, ' IQ. Page Thirty nine s S- W V1 w:-gg? ,'.

But take into consideration the teams we played! Every one represents a school at least twice as large as ours and in the case of Nluskegon and South Bend, live or six times as large. All the fellows that tried out, whether they made the team o-r not, deserve great credit for the effort they put forth, and for the great imaprove- ment they showed between the first and last games. Co-ach Gardner certainly deserves credit for the way he whipped the green material that started into that good, scrappy organization which held the Alumni to a tie on Thanks- giving Day. Surely no High School supporter was ashamed of the showing we made that day against a much heavier bunch, who plainly expected a walkaway. Now with all this improvement and determination shown by the team, I say the season was not a failure, but a success. LETTER NIEN Kent NVilliams Coder L. Rose Shull Crehore CCapt. Electl Merchant C.

St. Joseph won the Berrien County Basketball Championship in the most exciting finish of the most exciting triple tie that can be imagined: and we have the lfVarren Cup lirmly fixed in the assembly room, from which we hope and trust it will never be moved, except to be transferred to the new building. The season opened with some thirty hopefuls reporting for practice. This number soon dwindled to fifteen, at which size the squad remained during the rest of the season. Much credit should be given the second team for the opposition and practice they provided the first team. The regular county schedule closed with Niles, Benton Harbor and Saint joseph tied for first place, each having lost two games. The County Board then met, when it was agreed that each team should play the other two teams once on the non-participating school's floor. This resulted in each team winning one and lo-sing one game, and thus tying it all up again. The County Board met for the second time to settle this matter, and this time agreed to play the tie off in one night at Silver Beach skating rink. St. Joseph was to play Niles for twenty minutes. and then play Benton Harbor for twenty minutes, after which Niles and Benton Harbor were to play. Any team winning two of the games was to receive the championship. well, st. Joseph did if. LETTER NTEN L. Rose fCaptainD .......... Right Guard Merchant ........ ....

Out from a car there came a noise, A bunch of happy girls and boys. And as the bell had ceased to ring Which told the people everything. They all went home in solitude To rest their little heads of wood, And each Mama could surely tell That her little boy had done real Well. The First name that 1 will mention Will be Rose, who without intention Climbs the whole way up the wall, And that is not saying all, For he takes the ball with him too And always manages to get it through. Merchant. as we heard Mr. Merrill say, ls always the one who is in the wayg If the other team ever gets the ball L. M. is always at that end of the hall, There is no other town, I know. That appreciates him like St. Joe. Our grandest center -is HGerrnany, A better center youlll never see. He's always sure to do his part And it is right from the start. We will remember some future day VVhat a good part he took in this play. Schreiber is the next in view: He, too, has a part to do. Every time he plays a game His good work is just the same. And he's always lighting so For this grand town. Old St. Joe, Gusty appears next on the screen, Every game he plays is cleang When he pitches baskets from afar, His name goes up as St. Ioe's star. I think 1'll leave the rest to you, 1fVhat is there in basket-ball he cannot do Now who has coached them all this year? 'Tis W. E. Gardner, and 1 fear Our team would not have been so good If he had not always understood That training them and keeping up Would bring to us the Warren Cup. On a whole our team is grand, And l'll have you understand Theres no other team 1 know That can come up to old St, Joe. E Track Wvhat a big Word that has come to be to usl A few years ago it Was meaningless in our ears: today. it is vibrant-with its fullness of success. Early our 'ltwo man track team started their training-and now reap the benefits. Scholz and Nlerchant went to Kalamazoo Nlay 6, and, came home with 2nd place in the whole meet, only Grand Rapids out-scoring us. Wve were astonished that we should win over so many big schools. How could we help it when Merchant won two firsts and a second, losing individual honors by I-5 of a point. and 'lDutch , whom a sprained hand kept out of the shot-put, came first and second in the broad and high jump respectively.

Nlerrill. A large part of their success, and a part that increases in importance each time it is reviewed, is due to the efficient and careful work of the manager, the high order of our Coach's ability, and the co-operation between these two men. lt is a pleasure to know that the success of our teams was in no way jeopardized by management that was not of the same high order. Part of the funds for the maintenance of athletics was derived from the student blanket tax, a system left over from last year. This tax was the payment of seventy-live cents a semester, and purely voluntary, for which the student was made a member of the High School Athletic Association. and admitted to all contests held under its direction. Partly to increase the desirability of membership in the association, and partly in deference to a sentiment for more student voice in the contro-l of athletics, it was decided to organize the Athletic Association under a constitution revised from pre- vious organizations. This provided for the usual officers and established a Board of Control, which consists of the Superintendent, the Principal, the President o-f the Athletic Association, a member selected by the faculty. a member from' the tax-paying members o-f the Association to represent the boys, and one to represent the girls. They have authority in matters pertaining to athletic policy, and control of all matters affecting the Association in general. They also have the function of electing separate managers for boys' and girls, athletics, and of electing a student to represent the school with a Faculty representative in the County Association.

Prob- ably. And have yo-u ever told them of one of the chief factors in it? Some twenty years ago, a literary society Was formed here in High School, its ultimate aim and purpose being literary. Doubtless, its founders never dreamed that in 1916 that society Would still exist, having been, through its span of life, one of the mo-st potent, vital parts of this High School body. But so it has proved! Aside from its literary accomplishments, it has meant more co-mplete unity amo-ng the students themselves and in their relations with the faculty. The fact that all, by virtue of being members of the High School alone, were a part of it, has eliminated all the troubles and jealousies bred by conllicting organizations. So it has lived-and groiwnl From a small attempt, it has broadened and improved, accomplishing much. For a number of years the only outside talent enjoyed in this town Was furnished by the Crescent Lecture Course. And, who can ever forget the banquets? VVe have given plays, too, one-act farces, and succeeded so- admirably as to arouse great interest in the town. But, mostly, it has formed common ground, Where all the students and the faculty can meet, and either add something to or participate in the enjoyment. And for this reason the Crescent Society holds a place in our hearts and our High School life inestimable, and without it there will be a void, which can never be lilled, though perhaps forgotten. The High School no-W is outgrowing Crescent. It has nearly reached the point where it is too large for such an organization to exist. The pupils and their interests have become more varied with the years: so much so, in fact. that the society will probab-ly Within a short time yield place to others more numerous and less comprehensive. But during its years of life, it has been an influence that can never be cal- culated. lt has meant more than any one of its members can express fully, and so it is With sadness, almost, that We see its decline, which, inevitably, Will meanyjts passing. But success to it in the life that is left, is the Wish of every person, old or young, who has ever Worked and suffered as a member of the Crescent Society.

They were organized for the purpose of bettering their respective mem- bers in parliamentary law. public speaking, literature and general conduct. and were carried on throughout the rest of the year With a goodly spirit of interest and enthusiasm. The meetings were held regularly each week and committees Were ap- pointed to furnish the material for the programs, thus afiording each mem- ber a chance to take part in some way. At the beginning of each term-which lasted six Weeks-new oficers were elected in the places of the former president, vice-president, secretary. literary critic and parliamentary critic. Thidea of having literary societies has been so beneficial to the students and has proved such a success that it is the Wish of all the mrembers that it be continued in the ensuing year. H J. Gowdy, 'I9. House of Representatives The House of Representatives, newly instituted last year, was again or- ganized quite early in the fall of IQ 1 5, with a membership consisting of the junior and Senior classes. For the first half of the term Carl Scholz presided. with Mayme johnson reading clerk and Madeleine Schnader recording clerk. The last half, Stan- ley Johnson occupied the chair as speaker, with Esther Barlow as reading clerk and Elsie Dahlstrom recording clerk. The parliamentary drill obtained in the meetings was inestimably valu- able. And, true to established custom, the arguments often Waxed hot and furious. Wihat startling facts were thus revealed! However, many Who- had never been heard from before became vigorous assailers or defendants of a particular cause, and aired their opinions for the benefit of all, thus gaining much for themselves, and encouraging others. Ability to speak concisely and efifectively on one's feet is an accomplish- ment not to be lightly considered. And, as a means toward cultivating this. the House of Representatives has more than repaid for the time it took. Next year, We hope much more enthusiasm may be worked up. The in- stitution deserves a place in High School life because of its evident value. VVith a little more systematic management, and a little more interest among the stu- dents. it surely will become what it has already promised-a great success.

A man was procured who knew wihat he was doing, and who soon won his Way into the hearts of the boys. He tried them a. little while on some old pieces, and soon, through his training, they Were able to take up more difficult things. Then they were asked to play at the basketball games. Here they received applause that spoke well for the work of Mr. Byers. They put in good, hard, consistent practice fo-r the game between Niles and St. joseph, and there they won much favorable comment. They played whether it was cold or warm, demonstrating their spirit at the game in Benton Harbor, when it was so cold that some could not play on account of frozen valves. For a while, matters looked very bad linancially, and there was talk of disbanding. But the fellows were bound to keep it going, so each of them promised to pay a given amount to help insure the existence of the organization. The rest of the money was to be donated by outside sources, Aftt 'he basketball season was over, they were hired by the merchants to play every Saturday afternoon and evening. Each o-ne pledged a cer- tain amount each week, on condition that the band played for a sho-rt time in front of their respective places of business. They responded very read- ily, and even now they have more promises for donations from the people in the downtown district. Soon after this pfangement was made, they met in the Chamber of Commerce to organize and put the band on a systematic basis. The ollicers elected were: President, Arthur Nlanley: Secretary, Wlilliam Kent: Treas- urer, E. P. Clarkeg Chairman of the Collection Committee, Gordon Riley. They also decided that the money the band received was to be put into a common fund, instead of being divided among the players. So they have done their share. At all of the out-of-to-wn games they have been a prominent feature. They played at the Booster Meeting at Glenlord, accompanying the Chamber of Commerce there, and putting another success on their already long list. As it looks now, they have a clear path before them, their financial problems are nearly settled-a number of engagements, and their popu- larity distinctly in the ascendancy.

W'hat would our Crescent meetings have been without the orches- tra? Even though people did dance in the hall? And at the banquet! Our chests swelled with pride and our feet kept time in spite of us as we really danced to their good music. Their last appearance this year was at the Chamber of Commerce frolic. They did nobly in spite of the noise made by some 2,500 people.

Gui' only contestantln oratory, Donald Bushnell, through the excellence of his oration, The Pur- poseful Life, and his forceful delivery, brought home honors from the sub-district contest held at Hartford, April 21. This qualified him to enter the district contest held here, in Whzich he secured second place, first going to Miss Aimee Renkes, of Hastings. ln the line of declamiation, good Work was also shown. NVinning first place here, bliss Frances Heartt took second place at the Hartfo-rd sub- district contest. Cn the Whole, the results were very encouraging. Another year We hope to possess a good debating team, and more good orators, well trained, en- thusiastic and successful. So far, there has been little interest in this line of Work-but there is great opportunity for some people, if they'd only realize it. Next year We hope to see a good line of contestants in oratory, declama- tions and debating. The school needs itl Do your part toward making it a success. Page Fifty-eight Domestic Science Une of the most appreciated, and surely one of the most successful branches of the school, lies in our Domestic Science department. Although a practically new institution, its accomplishments are already many. The faculty dinner Was their first venture, and it was declared a huge success. Then came the dinner for the Sfchool Board. another proof of their ability. And then, one day, someone had a brilliant inspiration. VVhy not have weekly luncheons? Surely, but for whom? Another bright thought! Let various groups of girls entertain their respective mothers, in turn. Po-or mother! But listen: worse yet, the cost of the meal was not to- exceed one dollar! And, do you know, they are still do-ing it ?-And mighty successful luncheons they arc, too. But it took rm! planning to do it all on a dollar! One day the girls heard that the grades of the Garlield building were to give an entertainment. Speedily. preparations were made, and lo! a rm! candy sale-and new equipment. And finally, one thing more! The boys looked so hungry after their long period of training and had such a lot coming to them, that plans were made for a banquet for the Winners of the lllarren Basketball Cup! And eat! You should have seen them! But back of all this is a person without whom these things could not have been done. Had it not been for Miss Hathaway, the Domestic Science teacher, there would have been no culinary triumphs-and to her We give the credit. Ahead lies a bright future. The equipment of the new building and the department itself will be a thing of which we can be justly proud. And with such a record in the past, surely the future, with its greater promises, will bring bigger and better things, which mean even greater attainmient. Page Fifty nine Pa ge Four TO ETHEL G. KELBLE WITH GRATEFULNESS IN OUR HEARTS FOR HER HELP, AND AFFECTION BRED THROUGH HER KINDLY CO-OPERATION AND INTEREST, WE, THE SE- NIORS OF 1916, RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THIS ISSUE OF THE CRESCENT. I I 5- 4 + I I A Fairy Tale ETHEL Cooiziz The Princess Likyu lived in the W'ould that it were land. Her father was the king of this country-a very strict, stern old man. She had often heard of Prince Likmie, who lived in just This Land, and finally through a messenger from his land she received a letter from him telling how he had heard of her. So the little Prince and Princess wrote to each other from their widely separated homes. Une day the Prince's country sent him with a companion to the Princess' land. Wvhen the King of WYould that it Wvere Land saw the Prince, he forbade his daughter to meet him, because he disliked the boy's nation. He sent the Princess out in his vineyard to pick grapes. But. then a little fellow, who is ever found in the realm of 'Wvould that it VVere Land, came and whispered to the Prince, f'Do not fail, my boy, my friend-do not fail her or yourself-for you have both waited for this time for many weeks. Did you wait in vain? Corrie, follow me and l will sho-w you to the vineyard. The Prince's heart was exceedingly glad and he followed. But as they walked he found himself following the girl's companion, instead of the little god. He questioned her-she only smiled and beck- oned him to follow, and he did. Soon they came to the vineyard where the Princess was picking the luscious fruit from the vines. They surprised her very much and so it happened that Prince Likrniel' met the little Princess l'Likyuf' He thought her a wondrous maid. The time was quickly passed and Prince Likmie had to leave l'W7ould that it VVere Land -and then his heart was sad. He vowed to cherish his new-found friend fo-rever and a day. Thus they parted, to wend their separate ways until that little god would once more intervene with Pate in their behalf. The Prince returned to his own land. His heart was filled with glad- ness, for hadn't he met the Princess whom he had longed to meet for so long a time? He went to the court functions, played the court games, and met the daughters of the nobles, but they did not appeal to him. Away down in his heart he had an ideal and how far fro-m equalling it were any of these women. As time went on the Prince began to want the Princess very much and he planned and planned but to no avail. PgS1y One day a message came to the court inviting the people of Just This Land to engage in a tournament in the land o-f 'WVould that it Wvere Land. The Prince's heart was made joyous, but, soon his dream was dispelled, for the Prince's father refused to enter the people of his land in the tournament. And then a second plan was entered upon. Prince Likmie planned on entering a tournament in a distant country-on the way to which he would have to stay a few days in the Princess' country. But this time the other nation refused and again the Prince was filled with sadness. But, it is said, Every cloud has a silver lining. 'Tis true. The silver to the Prince's was the letters he received from the Princess, and. as time passed, he planned and wondered for the day that must come to pass when they should meet again. Thus they kept up their writing, and weekly messengers passed over the boundary of Just This Land to YVould that it YVere Land, and back again. Sometimes, during the height of his fun and games, the Prince forgot his Princess, but always when alone he dreamed of her. :Xt night, when the stars from heaven were watching over her as she slept. his thoughts and his prayers were mounting the heavens to plead for her protection and happiness before the throne of the All-Giver. And one day the faithful messenger brought a letter to him that filled him with gladness-for it was a letter after his own heart. A few days later, just before going against the enemy on the field of battle he sent his answer, which she received with a great deal of happiness. YVhen the battle was over he was to come and pro-ve to her father that he was a hero among men. XVhen he came to that country- her land- he was to come through what was called the Enchanted Forest. No man had ever come thro-ugh there alive. If he did he was to receive the hand of the Princess. About two weeks later the Princess was out in her garden picking roses. She heard a step and turning around saw Her Prince. l will leave to- your imagination their meeting. They Went to her father and there the Prince told of his adventures in the hlysterious Forest. Of course the King was very much surprised to see him, as he never expected to see him comic out of the Forest alive. The King gave his consent to their marriage, and two weeks later the wedding of the little Prince Likmie and the 'fPrincess Likyu took place in the presence of the whole court. Page Sixty one Page Sixty-two IN MEMORIAM On a quiet beautiful evening, on the shores of Lake Michigan, our Scandal Page was born. For some time she lay undisturbed in true serenity. Such times cannot be forever, and so she met the trials of maturity. But the tragedy of her life. just as she was about to come into her own, to put the final consumate touch to our book, she died. 0, Scandal Page, we mourn thee. The contemplation of thee. adorning our book was the inspiration of our staff life. Thou Wert the victim of unhappy circumstances. Thou art gone, and forever, but there re- mains the memory, and to perpetuate this memory this page is dedicated. tW7e apologize for not being able both to have the Scandal Page, and for not being able to explain its history.

Seems pretty nice to have money in your pocket. Hear it? But Jim- Oh, stow it! l know what you're going to say. Spare your breath! Better men than you have told me the same thing and it didn't change my mind. Better men! !'Down him, fellows. S-s-sit on 'im ! Wlhat boy ever overlooked the chance for a rough and tumble? There was a sudden, co-nfused tangle of arms and legs. Buttons parted company with button holes, while overtaxed seams gave up the ghost and yawned vacantly. Three against one decided the tussle from the beginning, and Jim Randolph presently found himself Hat on his back, with three more or less weighty youths reposing on various portions of his anatomy. Tunk occupied his chest. Between gasps he was saying, T-t-take it b-b-back, darn you! meanwhile giving him an occasional dig in the ribs to emphasize his remarks. Th-think you know everything, huh? Too smart to W-waste time in High School. G-g-got everything in your d-d-darned old nut already. huh ? UNO, that isnlt it. You know it isn't. Lemme up and l'll tell you how it is with me. Yes, seconded Wlhitie. Yes, let him up before he hits me another lick with those number ten brogans of his. If I don't have a shiner tomorrow my name's 'lack Robinson-Sunday. too! Darn you, anyway, Dolph. Any- body With concealed weapons like that should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law! WVhitie glared at him, his one rapidly darkening eye making the performance laughable rather than awe-inspiring. Sorry, YVhitie, but you know l'm not the light and quick little actor with my feet that you are. Send Doc in your place. She likes his buzz wagon anyho-w. Don't keep the poor girl from a little enjoyment. For a moment hostilities threatened, but Tunk and the Kaiser inter- fered and the boys settled down quietly. to talk the matter over. You see it's this way, Dolph said. High school's a fine thing for a fellow who can allord it. l can't. Neither the money nor those four years. There isn't any way of making them up. But, jim, you could earn- No, l couldnlt. l looked all that up. High school chaps do'n't earn any more to start with than l do now, and one man said he'd rather have a grammar grade boy that a high school 'smart aleck.' . Page Sixty-three Yellow and Blue were victorious. Dolph and Tunk gravely shook hands with each other in congratulations. Then they started for the dressing ro-om. Wlhitie, in spick and span clothing, loomed up. Look out, Tunik, VVhitie'll be wishing some other girls on you and youlll be hauled up for introductions if you don't Watch out. Come on this Way! The boys ducked behind the bleachers just in time to escape Wlhitie, who had a Worried look, which told he was up to his arranging again. He looked around, peered into the dressing room, then went on. G-g-go-shl Got away just in t-time. M-miost had us. D-duck, he's coming back l This time Wlhitie left for good and Dolph and Tunk went on., happy to have escaped. Girls made a fellow feel so darned uncomfortable! ln the spring came track, and there Tunk shone. His feet more than made up for the speed and nimbleness his tongue lacked, and he came flying down the cinder track bringing three first into the Nlaize and Blue camp. The Kaiser, too, set his long legs jumping and there seemed no limit which he could no-t reach. YVhen the freshman term had ended, Coach Nlarshall had Dolph's will- ing promiise to return the next year. And so three years Went by, in much the same way, each growing richer as it passed. Sometimes it was just pure, uninteresting plugging, but always it was Worth while, and steadily Dolph and Tunk learned to play the game to the best of their ability, to give the utmost of loyalty and devotion to the good of many, rather than the few. They know the glory of Winning in the class room, and the equal joys of victory on the basketball floor, on the gridiron, on the track. They learned, too, that the crowd stands by the winner-that score alone counts. They learned to size up an opponent and give him his just due: and, best of all, learned when they were beaten fairly, that a good loser is the best of all sportsmen. 'fUse the old head, was Marshall's advice. And so, as l say, three years went by, and it was Commencement. Nlade- leine had given her valedictory and Nannene her salutatory, and they had sung Here's to the school and all her host, as a class. The band caught it up and played as the people left the auditorium. Dolph stood in front of the school, waiting. The crowds were banked up in queer masses and he stood staring at them. Tunk found his way to his side. wlvhat are you l-looking at, old scout. HLook, Tunk. There's a college over there. and that's a schoolhouse there, and that's may team scrimmaging over there.

PREFACE: Nlany times the High School has had the great pleasure of listening to one of Mr. Procter's fascinating tales. And, each time, they are more so. There is no one we welcome more gladly, or to whose talks we look forward more expectantly. So we wished at least one of them pre- served, and, this being the only way, have put it here-to the interest of all, we are sure.-The Editor. At four o'clock on a cold, dark, March morning, Mr. Procter set out from Fort Gibson in Oklahoma, with a troop of men to protect him. It was a small fort, surrounded by forests and approached by muddy, winding paths. The forests were a splendid place for ambush-both for the Indians, who were Very numerous. and for the enemy-since this was their territory. The roads were not only muddy and winding, but often narrow, and in the heart of the forest. lt was necessary for one to be very cautious. After traveling until nearly noon, horses and men were tired and thirsty. ln a clearing was a small farmhouse, which looked quite peaceful. Al- though he did not know what would be the outcome, Mr. Procter left his companions about half a mile from the cottage, and rode up to the steps. At his knock a kindly-faced woman opened the door. lfvhen she saw him she threw it open so wide that two little girls in the background nearly fell over. She asked him to come in. with so much welcome in her voice that Mr. Procter was very much surprised. However, he did not let it overcome him, and remembering why he had come, asked' permission for the use of the pump and watering trough. 'fYes indeed, she said, and you come right into the house and rest. I wouldn't think of your being oudoorsf' Nlr. Procter was very glad of this opportunity for resting for an hour or so. YVhile there he heard one of his most delightful anecdotes, and since he has been so generous in repeating it, we must be likewise. Nlrs. Elisha Gray, for that was the womar1's name, had come with her husband to this land nine years before. as a bride. She had helped build the cottage and clear away the land about it. They had lived peacefully for seven years and made friends with the neighbors of the community and cared for their little girls, as any American farmer might. lfVhen news came of the impending war, the neighbors had a meeting. They were peaceful farmers for the most part, and decided to join the Page Sixty-sex en Abolitionists in New Orleans. Mr. Gray volunteered to go and so, one bright morning, he set out for New Orleans, to be gone six months. But six months may wonderfully change a person, a community, or LI nation. Nlore light was brought on the subject from both sides, and having once become interested, the neighbors of Elisha Gray turned a great deal of their time to discussing the rights of the South, until they became enthusiastic sup-porters of the Confederates. W'hen Mr. Gray came back, he was also enthusiastic, but for the oppo- site side. lt didn't take the people-nor him-lo-ng to discover that they were his enemies. He was given notice to depart at once-or they'd help him out with tar and feathers. The poor man could do nothing alone, so after a night of intermittent torture and prayer, he left, with Il determined face, for the ranks of the North. Did Nlrs. Gray sit down and weep, neglecting household and mo-therly duties? Not she! She went to work with redoubled vigor. She must keep up not only house and children, but also the farm. And she did each duty well. The house was clean, the children healthy and the farm half plowed. ready for early spring planting-at the time of Mr. Procter's visit. At the close of the war, a happy woman met her happier husband, uninjured and safe, at the door of a very pretty cottage, which was sur- rounded by a well-kept farm about twenty miles from Fort Gibson. i -Smit, zgkmd.

But we believe we are justified in being just a little proud of the merits of the individuals who participated in it. For instance. the sympathy and dramatic ability with which Nannene Gowdy portrayed the character of Peggy, the lovely little orphan, brought appreciative applause from the audience. And Donald Wvitt, in his char- acterization of the middle-aged bachelor, who makes the supreme sacrifice for the girl he loves, caused many a o-ne to wipe a surreptitious tear from his eye by his excellent expression. Then we must not forget Handsome La Verne , in his faithful execution of the role of the debonair hero, or Lila Unruh, who made such an excellent villainess. Stanley Johnson was an ideal Englishman, Edson Groff showed marked talent as a devoted husband. and Carl Scholtz caused much merriment in his portrayal of Kit. the violinist. Cora hlae Boami made an attractive matron, Lawrence Wlhite filled the role of Beadle to perfection, and Pearl Burkhard's lrish brogue was irresistibly funny. Mice and Men is the story of a bachelo-r of forty who has decided to take a little orphan girl as his ward. educate her according to his own peculiar ideas, and then marry her. He chooses Little Britainn from the crowd of orphans, and proceeds with his plans in regard to- her educa- tion. But the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley -he has failed to reckon With the most important obstacle to his plans. Peggy has fallen in love with his handsome young nephew. Feeling that it is her duty, Peggy promises to marry the professor, but when he discovers her love for his nephew, he releases her from the engagement, thus sacrificing his own happiness- for that of the girl he loves. ill. fohmorz, ,I6. P g Seventy High School Entertainment This year a new experiment was tried-bred by necessity. In place of the proposed Senior play, the High School and the Senior class agreed to compromise, and made the programme one of varied attractions. Two short farces were to be given, with vaudeville acts and musical numbers frequently sprinkled alo-ng in between. So we toiled and worked, and in about a week put on a show, played to a full house, and' made clear about Stool Quite a record? Maybe! The two farces, Billy's Chorus Girl and Mrs Carver's Fancy Ball, were good, to say the least. The first, the tale of a grand mix-up-a harumi-scarum young man, a sister, her husband and a girl taking part in amateur theatricals, created situations harrowing and wild. The second, with a millionaire, ma , pa , and dear darter , a nephew and a duplicate fancy dress costume, kept the audience in tears- from laughing, for its share of the time. Then a hair-raising exhibition of modern surgeon's methods made the audience turn White and get green around the gills. A real football game wherein the girl's team most gloriously defeated the opposing squad of husky males. gladdened the feminine hearts present and struck terror to the hearts of the men. And the Band and orchestra! How proud we were of them! They were really quite the principal attractions of the evening,-as usual! The idea seems good! Wlhy not continue it? Page Severity-one .fa O- + I 4 Page Five Page uf . ?' 0 I gvnrtvig The Crescent Hallowelen Party An experiment! A Halloween party! At Crescent, tool And sport? Say, just ask the students if they Want ano-ther one. lt was a series of weird haunts, that high school room, the night of November 1, IQI5. Qne no more escaped the grasp of a cold clammy hand, than he was taken on terrible journeys, and had to meet and conquer all sorts of animals, reptiles, and Hsieh. And then the fortune teller! WVeird were the awful things she re- vealed as the cards fell and the future was read. Turkish maids simply abounded. VVoe to the optomist who fell into their clutches and consented to have a peep into his coming life. By the way, Freshmen girls are good candy makers, and Nliss Crrier knows how to get them to make it. Yes, all this Was sport-but the best of all was watching the football men giving the girls the high sign across the corner of the candy booth, and then ducking for a safe place as the coach hoye in sight. A strictly student affair With a great number masked it was a hilarious occasion, one to be looked back to. Nlany a time-but, and this is most important,-is it to be looked forward to. .lunior-Senior Prom. The Junior-Senior Prom. given by the students of both classes which was held at St. Josephs Auditorium, December 27, 1915, was one of the largest affairs ever held at the auditorium. The hall was beautifully decorated with Christmas greens. Between the chandeliers were festooned ropes of pine, and the lights were softened with red. The stage and plat- form were also decorated with evergreen boughs. The dance was chaperoned by Nlr. and Nlrs. Benjamin Kasischke. and Nlr. and Nlrs. Chester P. Q'l-Tara. Nlary YVilkinson and Doris Vfitt served punch. On the Whole it was a great success. There were nearly a hundred couples there-and they vowed to have had the time of their life. But, mostly it was successful in uniting the classes. Never before has there been such a marked absence of class feeling especially between the two upper classes. For this reason if for no other, it would be a great idea to make it an annual affair. Freshmen. Sophomores, and Juniors, when we, the Seniors, return Alumni, may we have the great pleasure of attending. the annual Junior- Senior Prom. of the Saint Joseph High School.

The rooms were decorated in old-fashioned garden flowers. A short program of toasts following the dinner was given with Donald Wvitt acting as toastmaster. LaVerne Wvilliams roasted the Seniors, Laura Nlartin roasted the Faculty. E. Nlerrill toasted the Seniors. and WT. XV. Berry spoke on Athletics. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, bowling and various other entertaining features of the club house were enjoyed. Crescent Banquet The Annual Crescent Banquet given April 7. 1916, at Burkhard's Hall, was the most enjoyable entertainment in the history of the High School. The table decorations were especially clever. The Senior table, which as usual occupied the center of the room, was artistically decorated in blue and white. The Wvarren Cup. won by the Basket Ball Boys of 1915-16, on a bank of violets and ferns. formed the centerpiece. Two ladders. attached to the ends of the table. on which two do-lls were fastened repre- senting students in caps and gowns on their way to success, extended to the ceiling, Where the word Success in large letters was suspended. The Juniors table was conspicuous for its electrical sunrise of red and white. Japanese lanterns bearing the numerals 1917 were hung above each end. The Sophomore table was prettily decorated in green and white, a large aeroplane forming their prominent decoration, while four lights in green and white completed their color scheme. Last but not least. was the Freshmen's table of purple and white, with its miniature Ford on which was printed the motto VVe never get Stuck. It was extremely clever. in that it was a Freshman's table. After the repast. Lawrence XThite, President of the Society, acted as toastmaster. Hazel Lessing was called upon to roast the Freshmen. Next Alma Gowdy gave the Sophomore Toast. and then Coach Gardner was called upon to speak on Athletics. Before presenting the basketball boys with their letters, he explained why no one but those who had won them should wear them. He presented Leonard Rose, the captain, with his letter hrst, then Leonard Nlerchant. Carl Scholz. Kenneth Gustafson, and John Schreiber, who each in turn thanked the Association for themi. After that Guy Crehore roasted the Juniors. Nliss Grier paid her tribute to the Seniors, and the program was clo-sed with the faculty to-ast and roast by Conant Hatch. . Dancing to the music of the High School Orchestra completed the eVening's enjoyment.

Then she lighted the gas stove, opening a can of soup, and placed it in a skillet to heat. Next she opened two cans of vegetables and a can of salmon and heated these. She cut six slices of baker's bread and quartered a baker's pie, placing everything on the table together with butter, salt, pepper and a pitcher of cold water. 'Wlother and dad!

Perhaps it is not amiss now to state or even to elaborate upon the biggest thing of that career. This biggest thing has not been our studies, because the manner of our study depends upon it. This has not been athletics, because the value of athletics springs from it. lt is simply this, which is so tersely expressed in that potent phrase, The Saint Joseph Spirirf' The Yellow and the Blue. These are wonderful words. Their echo never fails to stir within our hearts a throb of emotion. They are emblem- atic, because they are pregnant with the significance of the dual nature, and therefore, the entirety of The Saint Joseph Spirit. First, let us consider the Blue. The Blue signifies the usualness of life. Wie Seniors know that in school as well as later we meet with commonplaces -no, I will speak out. with monotonies. yes, even with sacrifices. Many are the unseen deeds, many the unpublished victories of duty over desire, many are the unknown and voluntary sacrifices, withdrawals, self-denials, all initi- ated by love of school and done for her honor. The spirit of ascendancy over the pettiness of our high school life-this is what the Blue typifies. None the less inspiring, if more pleasant in its form, is the spirit of the Yellow. This is the spirit of achievement. lt is manifested by honor and prominence won. It demands glorifying recognition. lt typifies all that is bright, attractive, and full of success. The wonder of our Saint Joseph spirit is that it is a blend of the Yellow and the Blue. One completes the other and each is essential to the attain- ment of the other. Upon the athletic field the sight of the Yellow and the Blue thrills us, Every thread of that Blue there stands for an hour of un- congenial practice, a pleasant time foregone. an unjust criticism withstood. or any one amiong numberless faithful endeavors for the interest of the school. Did it ever occur to you that the victory won, so splendid, so glo- rious, so easily significant of the spirit of the Yellow, was as equally signifi- cant of the Blue. because the Blue impelled the hours of drudgery, of monotony, that made possible the victorious manifestation of the Yellow. Students of Saint 'loseph realize that without the Blue there can be no Yellow, and that without the Yellow, there can be no Blue: realize that the victories of the past, that the victories of the future, have been and will be dependent upon your recognition of this fact. VVe have tried to make this Annual an ernbodimzent of the dual spirit. Wve thank every person who has given it support, literary or financial, and wish even better success to the books to come. ' Page Seven Junior Farce of '17 After much delay. much squabbling and much disruption of the class, the Farce this year Was finally produced, June Ist and 5th, at the Caldwell Theatre. A good. rollicking Farce, 'looking for Nlary jane. lt surely got across. Everyone looked forward expectantly to Nlrs. Stuart Bar- low's first production. lt was well woirth waiting for, speaking very effectively, as it did, for the excellency of her co-aching. There was action every minute and although especial credit cannot be given any one character, all worked together to make it a great success. Caroline Napier as Nlrs. Varney, the charming young widow who is Uengaged to all three -more than fulfilled the promise she has given of being a very excellent young actress. Nlargaret Brown as Corlita Romagna Schultz, the lost Nlary jane, interpreted the part of the tempera- mental opera singer to- perfection. Go-rdon Riley as Augustus blerrifield, VVilliam, Kent as Charlie and Harry Bartlett as Berkeley Crane were the three harrassed, care-wo-rn young men--playing their parts with such ease and ability as make a name for themselves. Wvilliam Sheehan was the incarnation of a tempera- mental composer of an opera , and Conant Hatch as Gustave Schultz, Carlita's decidedly German husband, kept everyone in an uproar. That MI-Tein -can we ever forget it? - Leona Burkhard as Pauline Wventworth, the niece of the landlady, made and straightened perplexing situations with an agility amazing. And last but not least, Viva Slattery as Gladys, the maid, and Howard Hapke as the Chinese laundryman, were the most ludicrous, ridiculous clowns one could imagine. And so Clifton Jensen as the colored express- man did his share by introducing the disturbing element very forcibly- namely, the trunk. Burton Loshbough as Nlr. Nlerrifield, Augustus' father, also did some excellent work. The three young men arrive from hlexico to find that Augustus must announce his engagement to the mysterious lNlary Jane within a Week or be left without funds. Discovering the supposed Nlary Jane in the same boarding ho-use, they force Berkeley Crane to fake Augustus' name and play the trick. They take Pauline into their confidence-and she tells Nlrs. Varney, the supposed lvlary Jane. Angry. Nlrs. Varney makes them all propose, engaging herself to all of themi. Ambrose Paddington, the young composer, seeks Carlita to sing the title role of his opera. but cannot get an interview. Carlita has tried to smuggle a chinaman across the border, but becoming alarmed checks the trunk in Berkeley Crane's name. It is all an awful mix up until a letter arrives saving the trunk has never been sent and Augustus' father comes and reveals the deception-so Nlrs. Varney and Augustus, Pauline and Berkeley are reunited and ulive happy ever after. NOTE! The late date of the Farce necessitated this position in the book.

Lpoofe il 5 1 7 1 K Il X ' This is only One of the Many Models for You P S He couldn't hear a thing you said, I-Ie had such a terrible cold in his head. If he should take a notion now to up and leave us Wed surely miss this little scamp Edward Kneibus. I-Ie blushes as a maiden does when talking with her beau He's bashful as they make them, but a good fellow too you know, Now of course this bashfulness may run in the family But try to overcome it now, won't you Arthur Nlanley? Now please don't think as I rave on and this mild roast unfurls, That I have forgotten a single one of those darling Freshman girls. The one I'm going to single out among all of these girls is a poet student, and she has the grandest curlsg Her brightness is almost painful, she's thin fromi study of course, And you know as well as I do that I mean Josephine Morse. I need not mention this girl's name, but will tell from the start, She's a dancer. and is hard to please, and hasn't any heart, That is for any other boys except the only ONE And he of course is widely known as Kenny Gustafson. Qne day I heard a girl remark that Alma Gowdy said Yvhy hurry, pray why hurry? T'here'll be time when I am dead. NIarjory I-Iawley is an artist in the line of dressing hair YVhen curls are style shels out of it, when straight she's surely there. Nliss Kelble says there is a girl in this class of which I speak Wvho could talk and talk and talk and talk and talk for most a week And never lose a minute or rest or even retard And this little chatter box is none but cute Florence Burkhard. And Francis Groff who is quite short, and ne'er a soul could hurt Is said to be-now don't be shocked-a veritable flirt. I haven't the time to give all of them a chance But selected the few I have at a hurried glance. The others can wait, and I hope won't be mad, Cause if they were left out of it, twould really be quite sad. Now don't be angry with me for the things that I have said, But your greenness and your childishness to all these things have lead, So forget these little slams and joke and brighten up and smile Cause you only will be Freshmen for a very little While. g Ninety-eight and I tr: D 1' y G o o cl S T.
