HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING HMstor of School Our High School is an outgrowth of the ninth e ade which was started in 1908. From then until tlm present time it has grown, both in enrollment and efficiency of work, and is a standard High School, meet- ing all state requirements. Mr. Ford and Miss Travis, the first teachers met with many difficult problems as facilities were mea- ger and inadequate; they made the needs of a high school known to the people of this rural district, and the next year under Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Peterson the school was given a name and privileges of a high school. The practical side of education was demonstrated by them and the Domestic Science and Art and Manual Training Deparement was introduced. In 1912 Mr. Williams was principal, and the schr ol was moved to a separate building where departmo work could be carried on more sucessfully. Since r oving to the new building the enrollment has greatly increased, the students of the district realize that their education is not begun until they have graduated Horn high school. For the last four years the public school graduates have enrolled almost exclusively in our high school, for they healize our school is for their benefit, and they know they cannot miss the higher education, when at their doors. A school is judged by the work and enthusiasm of its students, and never before has our school been so active as it is today. The social life this year has been such that the students, the patrons and the town can well feel proud of their school. This year our school reaches a milestone in it’s history which is marked by the first graduating class; for the first time in its history has the full four years curriculum been completed. Our High school is in it’s infancy, it has it ' s beginning abroad, in it’s fii’st graduating class. The work of these first gradu- ates will be a guide and inspiration to those students following, and our sincerest hope is that next year another class as earnest and zealous as the first may mark the second milestone. Let us all boost for the Sugar-Salem High that it’s future may be as progressive as it’s past. flbc.

Seniors Hast Sa The class of fourteen leave the Sugar High Schoolwith memories of many happy days. We have enjoyed our associations together in dear old High School. We have trodden the paths of learning side by side. We h ave met and surmounted many difficulties, we have lost some of our numbers, but always in our hearts we have had strong and tender feelings of good fellowship. To you who are left we would say, “Wc appreciate you as fellow students. We hope to continue our pleasant associations with you in after life, when the happy school days are over. We hope that all graduates of the Sugar-Salem High school will ever be found in the path of honor, virtue, and integrity, that the promptings of our teachers will not have been in vain. The world is wide, we know not where destiny may take us, but where ever we are, and what ever we do, let us not forget each other. If opportunity presents, let us not forget that we are all children of the same Alma Mater, brothers and sisters in every way, and let us give a helping hand to each other. Inasmuch as we are the first graduating class in this high school, our path has been rugged and bro- ken, we have met and overcome many difficulties, and now comes the crowning glory of our efforts, and we are face to face with the commencement. We bid you all exercise careful study; be painstaking in your work, cultivate thoroughness in order that when you reach the crest of high school work you may graduate an honor to yourselves, a credit to your teachers, and a satisfaction to your parents. Life is short, life is fleetipg. Do not mourn the mistakes of the past. They have gone from you. But, work with an earnest desire to attain that aim you have set so high; The way may be dark and dreary, and threatening clouds appear on the horizon, but remember, sunshine is Far sweeter after rain. When we compare the past with the future, and the time of parting comes, our eyes fill with tears, and we realize for the first time the true meaning of our school song, “Dear old high school, we love thee and leave thee with tears.” IDEALS LOFTY AS THE TETONS MYRTLE I.

Slowly she climbed to Seniorhood That was always her way She never used a “pony” So the teachers all would say But thru the long hours She toiled and worked and slaved And finally she became a school ma-am. The class of T4 has been the “ruling passion ’ V is winter. Though not much in the social line has been done they have sought to gain a school unity and fellowship and taught the “Infant classes” manners and customs (and yells) of the Student Body. Perhaps not as active in the holding of “Spoon Pests” as the Sophomores, still w T e are not incapable of playing the “freeze out.” As certain “Soft” mores (young man) will no doubt testify. We have enjoyed an excellent class enthusiasm and have bequeathed it to our successors with the much tested injunction, “Ever Copy the Seniors.” CLASS YELL.

They wondered and thot and played and schemed, How easiest they might win a fame That would open the gates to college. I LJi : When as Sophs with their books And their smart business ways Their thoughtfud and careful brow, They hurried and scuurried along An eye in a book; with one on the watch Till another long year rolled away But as Juniors they tripped all over the school W ith a happy, careless grin Now cheering a Freshie, and petting a Soph, Ignoring the Senior as round they walked ' lbe biggest “its” of the town. At last they entered the portals so wide As dignified studious Seniors No more we’ll romp and chatter and play But with stately pride and bright beaming eyes We will meet and conquer the world. Junior CLASS OFFICERS OF ’15. junior Class. Although not the biggest class in school, we can claim more feminine beauty, than the whole school; We whirl better and faster balls over the home plate, than any of the other classes. Our boys star in Basket ball, play center and main forward, and when a good guard is needed, we’re the men that fill the place. We don’t talk much but we have our ears open, and when anything classy is required, we come thru with the goods. ARBOR DAY. Our High School celebrated Arbor Day this year with a short spicy program, and shortly ? c, °r. traditional custom of class tree planting was carrie ' out on the campus. The Seniors planted a lilac tree, and also designated a place to plant an evergreen tree; Sophomores a white Japanese lilac; Freshies a yellow rose. The Faculty, as a source of obtaining limber switches, planted an elm tree. Sophomores Class ©fficers Purple and Gold (Smallpox) . Colors In danger there is safety” — ....Motto Class IRotes. “Oh those long faced Sophomores,” was the cry when school opened last fall, but the sentiment has changed, for we have proved ourselves the most enthusiastic and lively class in school. Even tho we say it ourselves, we know the other classes will agree that we have been the “social live wires.” The class was organized on the thirteenth of October, and a Hallowe’en party was given immediately after. It was the first party of the year; yelling was the predominant feature which stirred the depths of class enthusi- asm. We purchased sweaters for a distinguishing dress. We won the basket ball series for fun. We en- tertained the seniors from sympathy and respect. In fact, we have done all in our power to stir up school spirit, and to keep the Faculty busy in handling “Mammas bestest hoys and girls.” We certainly sympathize with the Freshies in picking out their class pennant, as we made a terrible mistake when we chose our small-pox flag. Misses Lenona and Lillian Harris entertained the S phomore class, and partners December 28th, 1913, at a delightful holiday party. A Christmas tree party with stockings and candles was a scene of much merry-making December 19, 1013. Even Saint Nick declared it was a classy r affair. :c dlaee IK, U Emery Thomas Wray Hegsted Parley Hemming Julia Lavery Earl Wilding I ' ll is Wilding Eillian Harris Lenona Harris Ruth Larsen Albert Pincock J’-i-a Plake Cora Palling Ton Hailing If 1 ie Hilton Mertie Hunt Raymond Wright Elsie Cutting Constance Jaques Hear Editor: In answer to your inquiry about the classes of the S. S. H. S., we wanted just a line about the Sophomoi cs to reach you in time for this issue If you remember some two years ago, the Sopho- mores entered the school under considerable handicap. We embodied as a class more or less of the spoilt KIHS and Mama ' s Barlings, and before we could be really united we had to agree several times to give some one else a few privileges. At present we are a bunch as selfish as ever of the honors to be attained at school. We always aim to outclass on entertaining. Of course the honors were easily captured with such a loyal class. We incidentally ran off with our Athletic series championships and only listen to the hot air of the Freshies in silence and sympathy. In order to be in good standing with the Profs., we must graft a few A’s. so while part are busy doing (his, the rest of us are stirring up some life, and amusement — some call it mischief — to keep the student body from dying altogether. Trusting these few facts will prove convincing as to the absolute necessity of the Sophs. We remain still undaunted, CARELESS Y. SOPHOMORE, President. IAMA PESSIMIST, Secretary. Kbemortee. I sat alone one evening A’thinking of the past, The past with sunshine beaming, Of which I am the last. Our childhood’s happy times; Our leves, their tales oft told, They ring out their glad chimes. As in the days of old. Our little old log cabin, Half hid by rose vines gay In which the chirping robins At hide and seek would play. I see my sainted mother Ard her happy smiling face; God never made another With such tenderness and grace. But the little old log cabin Now crumbling to decay, Is all that’s left unhidden Of those glad, glad happy days. —A. A. W., May, 1911. Oh yes, we’ve only started in, And may look rather tame, But we have pluck and grit to win Ourselves a glorious name. “Great men don’t happen in a day.” By saying this, we mean That we 11 be heroes strong and gay, By Nineteen Seventeen.

Young Will Drake, a struggling “commercial ambassador,” was stranded in Chicago. As a traveler for an Eastern business house, he may be said to have made a trip of some brilliancy from the view of mere travelling, as shown by his expense account; but as a salesman he added nothing to his honorable profes- sion. Some business houses are very stern and strict, and Mr. Drake came very nearly losing his trust in human nature when the firm replied to his last demands for funds with a scarcely polite letter. Drake : fected to appreciate the humor of their letter when he replied. The reply to this communication was even more curt than the preceding one. Will Drake had many friends, but beyond smoking his cigars, and laughing at his stories, they couH be relied upon but for very little practical support He told his tale of woe nevertheless, to a select tv n or three, and received real sympathy, not altogethf to be despised, especially from the hotel, where he had asked for a loan of five dollars. After this unpleasant incident, Will walked away from the desk and tried to assume an air of easy nonchalance as he strolled about the lobby. More letters came from the East; an old friend of his family seemed still to feel confidence in him, and offered him a clerical position quite above the nominal class. Drake was moved almost to the point of show- ing the letter to the hotel clerk, but, he disliked the latter’s accusing glances, and forbore the little act of confidence. A porter strode into the lobby carrying a suit case. He was followed by a Mr. Benton. Will Drake knew him well, and hailed him as a deliverer. Mr. Benton invited him to call, and smoke and te’ This Will did without delay, and took the occasion to tell his tale of injustice and misfortune, but did not meet with an immediate success. They dined togeth and after dinner the easy-mannered Benton cashed a check for one hundred dollars, that he might not ! without cash in his travels about the city. For awhihthey smoked and talked together of old times. Benton decided rather late to visit a theatre Drake was in no mood for it, or for accepting further hospitality from the man, so they said goodnight, and Benton went to his room to put on a coat. From his breast pocket he took a wallet, and gk need into it. There were a few small bills. He tliot of the hundred dollars recently acquired. He took up the waistcoat and went thru the pockets, finding nothing but a handful of matches. He stared out of the window at the lighted building opposite and considered. Quickly he went over in his mind the little affair of cashing the check and putting the currency into his pockets. Then he thought with a sickening suspicion of the talk with his young friend. “My goodness!” he exclaimed in horror, “that hoy’s a common, low pickpocket.” He paced the room agitately, thinking of Drake’s financial straits. “Perhaps he was really driven to crime by his distress,” he decided. “I can’t have him arrested; I haven’t the heart to do it. But, I won’t stand for being robbed like that.” He sought Mr. Drake in the lobby, and other places. Finally he located him in his room where the young man had gone for rest. “Come in,” said Drake in response to a knock. The door swung open and Mr. Benton entered. “Give me that money,” he cried. “What do you mean?” said Will turning paie. “I want that hundred right away,” shouted Benton. “You get out or I’ll have you put out.” cried Drake, in angry astonishment. “You’re crazy Benton. I don’t know anything about any hundred.” “Mv heaven,” roared the ferocious Benton, “You’re a thief. But I’ll have satisfaction. Keep the money for all the good it’ll do you,” and without further loss of time he advanced upon his friends, and began beating him. In a couple of minutes the conqueror declared himself satisfied. Will Drake looked as though he had been put through a threshing machine. “Guess that ' ll hold him for awhile,” wheezed Mr. Benton, as he went through the doorway to his own room. “Never mind the theatre tonight,” he mused as he viewed himself in the mirror, and carefully arranged his own slightly disfigure d attire. “I ' ll sit quietly for awhile and smoke a bit.” His cigarette case was not in his pocket. “Wonder if he took that too?” he thought, “it’s silver.” He searched the room and finally took up the traveling clothes he had recently laid off. In the hip pocket of the trousers was the silver cigarette case. Also there seemed to he something else — something which cracked at the touch. “Heaven have mercy on me! ' he groaned and dropped weakly into a chair. Will Drake was washing his discolored and altered face when a bell boy came to his door and handed him a letter on a tray. He opened it and read the following communication: My dear sir: I am far too upset to see you personally. I have no excuse for this evening’s conduct, but my own un- governable temper. For the time being, I beg that you will accept the enclosed check for five hundred dol- lars, for the injuries you have suffered at my hands. Very humbly yours, Benton. Mr. Benton, in tuurn, later in the evening received this: Dear Mr. Benton: The matter of the enclosure of five hundred dollars must he considered. I assuure you I could nevei accept it as a gift, and my first impulse was to destroy the check; hut I will wait to give it proper consi lei a- tion tomorrow, and I may decide to accept it as a temporary loan, to be returned to you at my own conven- ience. I am, sir, Truly yours, William Drake. THE FIRST SNOWFALL. There is nothing as pleasant after a long dreary day than to wander out in the evening when it is quietly snowing. Not a sound is heard, every tring is soft and peaceful. The moon, obscured by falling snowflakes, sheds a soft, pale light on the scene; the trees become white, and the brown earth is made to change its color. These downy snowflakes we find are even clinging to us, our clothing is white with a cuddling mass of them; some in their delight fly in our faces, some cling tenderly to stray locks of hair, and others dart aim- lessly here and there. In an hour or so we are surprised, for the snowflakes have ceased falling and the moon is smiling bright- ly on the glittering white scene, which we are ourselves are prone to admire. N. A. R. Ik. ' •V ' iW ' %, A SPRING BLOSSOM. She stood beneath the trees, dressed in a dainty white pinafore. Her chestnut brown hair hung in curls and ringlets around her pretty face. Her dark large eyes of brown, half shaded by silken lashes, spark- led like laughing sunbeams peeping from a dewy sky of summer showers. Her lips were the shape of cupid’s bow — the color of red ripe cherries. Her ear the pink of the coral, over which she had hung a cluster of cherries. A drop of dew rested on a lock of her hair— the sun made it a diamond. She was Sprng’s innocence and truly Spring’s fairest blossom. Stubent ®ob IRotes The Student Body organized in 1911 has enrolled more members this year than it has any previous year. Our unmber enrolled fifty-eight early in the year, and also at that time we elected our officers. They have bossed the job to every one’s satisfaction. On Friday the assembly period has been turned over to tne student body, who in turn let each class take it ' s turn in furnishing the program. The programs have in- deed been very classy. Some days have been taken up in yells and singing practice. These have proven to be very valuable hours. We are distinctly of the opinion that the Body can yell louder, make more vibrations of ether in one period than the collective members of the faculty could make through- out the year. We are able to sing, “Kind Words Can Never Die,” (Mr. West’s favorite), “Auld Lang Syne” (Air. Oldham’s favorite), from the cup on, and Miss Young’s “Onward Christian Soldiers.” We have developed a number of base singers, whi eh shows that our boys are getting down to business. Help has been given to athletics and much school p Mriotism has been developed, through the appreciative efforts of the Student Body. We hope to see it grow thereby filling annd maintaining it’s position in school. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS.

S., is certainly blessed with oiiginaliiy for every department has iis especial pertume, and as one passes thru the building one s nostrils are assailed by the sulphurous gases ot the Chemistry Laboratory, the odor of varnish from the shop, the scent of sour cream from the Agricultural room and the strength of onion from the kitchen. In memory as we visit our old haunts we ai e drawn by an irresistable curiosity into the Chemistry Laboratory, where our eyes witness the agonizing eloctrocution of a few harmless drops of H20. We stand spellbound at the miracle while Flora applies a lucifer to its last earthly remains. The explosion is terrific. We rush for the door, thru the stiffling, livid red and violet vapors of burning lithium and potassium salts which Hay is concocting in imitation of Dante’s Inferno. We dry our eyes before entering the Physics room only to have our keen senses of equality shocked as we behold I)ott and Minnie balancing on the same lever. Choosing the Physiology room for a haven of rest we enter to find ourselves confronted by a real man (-a-kin) who might have been more at home in the Garden of Eden or at least in a tropical clime, than here. Feeling this to be no place for us we turn to leave when we fill the air with blood curdling ■HH I I. 1 I f r a % , t f ' jg HI. it 1 1 ffl gf m I sjg HI shrieks as fourteen serpents welcome our visit, calling to our minds our work in Zoology.

We eagerly question the purpose of such queer antics only to be informed by Ruth that these experiments are all designed to conquer the denzions of the night. Mary, as its first martyr, is no longer afraid of the dark. We May Not be Your Nearest Druggist But We Will Try to Come Nearest to Pleasing You Dean Drug find Jewelry Co. John I.

We met with a number of inconviences in start- ing our Basketball series, but after our deliberations with the Opera House management, they decided to accept us. Then we began our games. The High School boys challenged the Faculty, and the faculty, after much persuasion, coaxed some eighth grade boys to sub for them, in their losing fight. The “kids” put it all over the Profs, in fine shape — wore them to a frazzle. The Sophomores won the class series, hotly con- tested by the Freshies. The Freshmen met their equal if not their betters when the little eighth grade team played them to a finish of 10 to 8. The BIG games of the season took place between St. Anthony and Sugar. We played them two interesting games; one on the Sugar floor; the other in St. Anthony. We went down smiling at our last game in St. Anthony because luck was against us. Frank skinned his knees, Fmery sprained his thumb. Ellis was “knocked out.” Jack was detained home nursing rheumatics. We came out with only the consolation of having fought a good fight and with a heavy score against us. still ready to rise and smile. ' l ' ho quite outclassed by our opponents, we took a partial satisfaction in seeing our 8th grade boys walk away with the St. Anthony district school game. Our baseball started with little more encourage- ment than our basketball ended. But thanks to the work of the boys, and our loyal students, we bid fair to be local champions. We first met St. Anthony on their own grounds and lost to a score of 10 to 17. We next tried the Academy of Rexburg, and was very cheerfully wal- loped by 13 runs. But the change came at last, when on May 2nd, we defeated our former champs, St. Anthony, with a score of 18 to 6. We now consider ourselves equal to the best, and although we must go to print before it happens, we feel confident of landing at the top in baseball.

(Freshies’ Pastime.) 1 here was once a hoy named George Kirby, Who bought a goat to match his derby, One day that goat wanting to dine, Ate a red shirt right off the line. Then Kirby to the goat did say “Your time has come, you’ll die this day,” And he took him to the railroad track, And tied him there upon his back. The train then came, the whistle blew And the goat well knew, his time was due. But with an awful shriek of pain, Coughed up that shirt and flagged the train. CIVICS CLASS ON MONDAY MORNING, 11:15 A.
