Now We do not realize fully the value of our schooling, but later, as we look back over our achievements, We will appreciate more keenly the real benefit of it. In order to keep the memories of our school ever close to us, We have gathered them into this boook. We have been actuated by a desire to make it a worthy publication, and hope it is a thoroughly rep- resentative annual. -THE EDITOR. f 5 K fr ff ' si 1.

Joanna Gleecl Y Hazel Gilber Hazel Gay Malcolm Griffith Matie Bradshaw Class Prophecy Spirits of the Past, stealing softly upon my fancies, Present to view, many eager faces. They are those, in number ten score or more, Who, joining the ranks of High School Students Cherish fond hopes of startling the world With their brilliant deeds. Past memories fade away, submerged In a faint recollection of youthful aspirations. Deeds of the Present bewilder me with their alarming ra pidity, A rush of hurrying Seniors, hearts a'f1utter With the anticipation of Class Day, Senior Play, and Com mencement Are all aglow with their own importance. Spirits of the future dance before me In a charming rosy glow. L. I. N. X. and L. O. X. are no longer together, But in each heart the bonds of unity are unsevered. Class, Prophecy ill,- In the busy world each has a place From the old ranks Paul Thorson has appeared As a second Paderewski. The name of Verna Wise appears as a Broadway Star. Chalton Powers is the most distinguished of the movie actors. lVe recognize in Edna Baachus our great poetess. Great and powerful manufacturers are proud That Raymond Ferguson, Harold McKibben, and. Harold Steinrauf are inseparable from their success. Helen McGill and Mary Nelson are expert stenographers. Many are enjoying married happiness. Need I tell you who? They are Mattie Bair, Faye Waring, Marion Shimeall, Emma Leese, Linda Lovett, and Yes! still more, Valeria Griffith, Esther Van Dyne and Matie Bradshaw.

Success at last l choked the other. Their excitement was justified. After long periods of unawarded effort, their telescope had at last sighted something brilliant enough to carry its image through thirty-five thousand miles of space. They had sighted the class of June, '18. How it gleams, exclaimed scientist Number One. It almost blinds me, replied his fellow. The spot from which this issued, like a stream of light, was labeled T. H. S., letters not without signifi- cance even in distant Mars, and as the column resolved itself into boys and girls, some few stood out even more clearly than others. The star of the first mag- 18 nitude was the President, Edwin Nellis, while the blinding flash that followed was George Whitcomb, the Vice-President. He in turn gave place to a star which the scientists at first mistook for Venus, but on closer inspection this proved to be Thelma Houston, the Secretary. Then a gleam of gold showed the Treasurer, Byron Boone, and a glitter as of crossed swords, was no other than Harry Hudson, the Ser- geant-at-Arms. Then followed fast a group like the starry Plieades, the Social Committee, with Harold Lowe as its Chairman. And so the strain of luminous glory passed before the lens until the scientists over- powered by their discovery, tottered weakly to their chairs. - At last, at last, breathed one. Would that Mars, too, had a June, '18, wasithe fervent exclamation of the other. I.

But the people also say that after a class has been organized a year or so, said class loses much of its pep. Not so with the June, '19s. We started out with plenty of enthusiasm and class spirit-and watch us go! We've had class meetings and wienie roasts and parties, and parties and' wienie roasts and class meetings--and will con- tinue to enjoy ourselves throughout our High School course. Our officers and faculty advisors are setting an example for the rest of the class officers to follow. First and foremost among the honored individuals ap- pears Russell Whaley, our small, but mighty President. When he has enough responsibiilties to keep him going, he turns over the rest to the Vice-President, Barbara Jarrell, who shoulders her duties cheerfully. John Fernstrom is the scribe of the class, and Annie Laurie Close handles the most important job-that of count- ing the dollars and quarters that come rolling into the treasury. Her picture is missing-we are sorry to say-but she's there! Miss Stewart and Mr. Bearg keep us in order--not that we need to be kept in order-but its the custom. X I i r -6:5255 xx, 1 Q' 4 1 935 I. !

A. is an organization of the liveliest, happiest girls in High School, who are in for fun and good times as well as the more serious things of life. We meet every second and fourth Tuesday of the month in the club room at the Y. W. C. A. from 2:45 to 3 :45 p. m. The program consists of short talks from various girls or some visitor, play- lets and many interesting things. Our present enrollment is about eighty-five, but Section Six We Want and should have many more. This is the place for unacquainted girls. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain and extend throughout the club membership and through- out the school a strong, high moral sentiment, to bring students to a 'personal relation to Jesus Christ as Savior and Friend, to lead them to be loyal to the Church of Christ as in 'obedience to His command- ments and to prepare them for future Christian service. THE STUDENT COUNCIL Following the plan that has been adopted in many other large high schools, a Student Council was founded, and has been in existence for several years. The purpose of the Council is to afford the student body with a collection from all the classes. Three members of each class, including the President, meet together and form laws and suggestions, which have proved of benefitboth to the Board of Education and student body. This Council contains some of the best orators in the school, and debate and argument wax hot. The Council serves as a medium between the faculty and students, on all questions of importance. To be a real success, the classes must introduce new questions at each meeting, through their Council rep- resentative. In the future, this Council will be a de- cidedly more popular and more beneficial organiza- tion-because Practice makes Perfect.

The purpose of the Boys' Club is to promote clean speech, clean sport, and clean living among the boys Club r C of the school. The club takes a definite stand against such prevalent evils as cigarette smoking and swear- ing. The members are not perfect, but they at least strive to make better the standards of T. H. S. Club meetings are held every Monday evening in the High School Cafeteria, where supper is served. After supper some benefiting talks or discussions are given. ,L-lil...-. ?, The Classical Club 1 The Classical Club of T. H. S. is one of the largest organizations in the school. If, as many educators claim, a classical jtraining gives more stability, initia- tive and alertness to the mind than any other sort of training yet discovered, then the enthusiasm shown for the Classical Club by our students is a mighty good sign. The club, thanks to its sponsors, our Latin instructors, is wide awake in its plans, pro- grams and principles, a club that gives Latin plays, Latin games, Latin banquets, that investigates Latin customs, politics, literature and education, is bound to be a live factor.

The Association has promoted the spirit of democracy in athletics among the faculty, students of the school, and the participants of the game.

The victories won were not so extraordinary, but the boys have shown much consistency. To be sure, Mr. Hepworth, our manager, and Coach Bearg are responsible for this outcome. I At the beginning of the football season our new Coach, Mr. Bearg, was surprised to see, out at prac- tice, forty-four men. Never before has such a number been out for the team. Of course, this required much work for the Coach, but he certainly did his part well. His methods of coaching proved very successful, and he developed the boys in the line of teamwork more than has ever been shown at this school before. The interest in football has increased considerably among the high school students during the past few years. This certainly means success to our teams be- cause with proper support, our boys will come out victorious. The Athletic Association has done much to pro- mote athletics in our school. It not only has given financial support, but has incited a great deal of en- thusiasm among the students. The team played brilliantly as a whole and dis- played much team Work. The school will lose quite a few of the football squad by graduation this fall and also this spring, including: lVIcKibben, Kouns, Harsh- barger, Light, A. Jones, Henderson. This was Mr. Bearg's first year as coach and he has certainly been successful. 'He deserves the ap- preciation of every student and we congratulate him on his success.

Last year the interclass baseball games caused much interest and probably will be more interesting this year. The tennis tour- naments last year were very exciting and very close. Weiskirch won the singles, while Beals and Davis claimed the doubles championship. These same play- ers will be out again this season, so some good tourna- ments are expected. v .5154 ' is -. .,,., Twig! XZ ' . .iz ., .. f- -f,-- V ' .M e mf:-'3'?v . ' f 9 9 -:N 35 E?1.

The spirit of the Club is excellent and the attendance at rehearsals has been little less than marvelous.

ORCHESTRA The orchestra had an important part in a program given by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs in the High School Auditorium December 8, 1916. In this appear- ance and several others in assemblies, readily shows the advancement of the orchestra under the direction of Miss Hall. e Since our school is among the first in athletics, it is the earnest desire of Miss Hall and the members of the orchestra to make the school rank first along musical lines, and with the help of the Student Body, this will be accomplished in the near future. The students have worked diligently on some very difficult numbers. They are now practicing on: Turkish March ............................................

The land thru which he had just passed was a smooth plain, where he had been directed by Supervision. But now he was to walk alone, guided only by his con- science. Tenderly adjusting the library of text books of many colors which he carried joyously began his Pilgrimage in School. Immediately there sprang to name, Sub Scrub, who fastened youth and said, No need to fret, under his arm, he the Land of High meet him, a tiny himself upon the dear sir, for I am attached to everyone whose journey thru this land is in its infancy. If thou canst survive the pranks and jokes of the elder Pilgrims then soon shall I fall from thee, and thou shalt know me no more. Being of a pleasure loving nature, he easily fell in with thecapricious Widow, Frivolity, and her chil- dren, Parties, Dances, and Movies, and soon yielded to their beguiling charms. After drifting along aim- lessly for a time in constant company with them, he suddenly wakened to the fact that he was fast losing sight of the path of Knowledge and was being carried to a deep and black abyss. He pondered long over his sad predicament, his wasted time. Perceiving Frat close by he hastened to him to seek advice. Join My Order, said Frat, with a wink and a look of sly cunning. Hush, let no one know thereof for I am an outlaw. Indeed, I will have none of you I sa.id the Pil- grim, drawing backg Of pleasures you have plenty, but I will not give my pledge to you. Some day the ruler of this land will discover your guilt and you may be expelled unceremoniously from the kingdom. Deep down in his heart, the Pilgrim had a great longing to become a brilliant scholar, to gain the honors of Good Grades, a great mountain which loomed faintly in the distance. This feeling led him to come upon Perseverance, an earnest fellow, with whom he continued his journey. Together they passed toilsomely over hills and thru valleys, often they had to exert all their strength to push their way forward, now sinking in the mire, now climbing over rocks whose jagged edges left their marks on bleed- ing fingers. The Pilgrim's footsteps lagged--he breathed unsteadily, laboriously. Wait! he gasped in anguish. Do not leave me! I cannot go further! The answer came quickly. He who would reach the goal of Success must choose Perseverance as his companion. Tho sometimes the way be thru misery and suffering, his purpose is always attained. But I am so weary! My books that I carry are fast becoming a burden beyond my endurance. Can I not reach Good Grades without this worrisome load ? Perseverance shook his head. The Pilgrim was discouraged. He turned quickly at the sound of the boisterous voice of Bluff. Throw down the old books, Pilgrim! said Bluff. No need for them. Books, indeed, he said scorn- fullyj Come with me and I'll lead you to Good Grades. It is an easy matter to fool others and make your way. The Pilgrim forsook Perseverance and started away with Bluff. He felt relievedg the path was easy now. But, alas, he was startled by suddenly coming to a great high wall which neither could get by! Oh, Bluff! he cried in despair. Why was I so foolish that I could not see the folly of your company. Foolingf others indeed! Would that I could have realized that you made me deceive myself alone. I alone am the loser, fool that I was! Wearily the Pilgrim started back to get his cast- off burden. Too bad, Pilgrim, said a smooth, oily voice at his side. Let me help you. The Pilgrim turned to see the stooping, crouching form and wicked face of Cheat. Think not that you with your evil face can tempt me with vain promises, said the Pilgrim. I have been the victim of trickery already. I did not see that those who came to aid me were misleading me. Now I know that my Prog- ress depends upon myself aloneg that help will come to me only when I help myself. Cheat crept away, defeated. The Pilgrim took up his books once more and began to read them earnestly. How interesting are the great truths in my books, said he. I was so stupid that I did not understand their value. It is I who has made it possible for you to appre- ciate that fact, came the answer. It is I, Study. You seem surprised at my pres- ence, but I joined you just as soon as you read and understood the worth of your books. I am a stranger to idlers. I join only those who sincerely desire my company, else you would have known me sooner. Oh, see! said the Pilgrim gladly, We are com- ing nearer and nearer the Good Grades. I need not worry now. I shall get there easily enough. Here comes Remissness and Carelessness. I wonder if I can't take a jaunt with them. They look attractive after your steady company, Study. So the misguided youth strayed from the straight path. He and his companions stopped at the inns of Over-Confidence and Deterioration. Here they were handed some small white cards. They are only directions to follow to reach our destination, said Remissness, indifferently. Wl1at! said the Pilgrim, in a voice of horror. Why, these are Failure cards! Your goal is Failure! He rushed blindly from the inns of Deterioration. Outside he was met by Good Advice, and then very soon Conscience appeared. These two brought him again into the company of Perseverance and Study. It was due to their faithful companionship that the Pilgrim gain the top of the mountain, Good Grades. And lo, he had passed three mile posts which bore the words in turn, Freshman, Sophomore and Junior. And on the fourth mile post he spelled the mystic word, Senior. Now, he exulted, I have sought and attained the best that this land can offer. It is the Supreme Achievement. Very confidently he went toward the grand, lumi- nous Castle of Success, which stood at the summit of the mountain! But to his dismay he found the gates closed and locked against him. The Pilgrim pondered long over his probable sins which denied him entrance. He realized in a vague sort of way that something was lacking. He awoke to the fact that there were other Pilgrims in the land, and that he had been so wrapped up in his own selfish interests, that he was not aware of anyone but himself! The Spirit of Con- geniality suddenly surged thru his heart, and he straightway made friends with the others. One of them, a cripple, was struggling bravely on alone. We are nearing a day of great glory, said the cripple, and that is Graduation Day! How eagerly it is looked forward to! How wonderful it will be! But I cannot get there with the other this time. On his face was pictured a grave, intense longing. Let me help you, said the Pilgrim, offering his arm. Oh, no!'i said the cripple, it would only keep you from going with the others. Do not waste your time with me! But the Pilgrim would not leave him, and together they reached their goal. Something new entered the Pilgrim's soul, something broadening and inspiring,- which seemed to link him to his fellow travelers with strong bonds of sympathy. This something was Service. He saw the gate of the Castle of Success open for him, and he was filled with a great joy. The dawn of Graduation Day was heralded by the sun's exquisite grandeur. Now that he had a greater vision, the Pilgrim saw that the journey thru the land of High School was all too short. He listened with bowed head to the voice of the ruler of the land. My Pilgrim, it is now ordained that you leave the land in which Adversity has strengthened, not de- stroyed you. I am grieved that your Pilgrimage here is ended, but I rejoice that I can say, Faithful serv- ant, thou hast proven thyself conqueror of the past, now will I open for thee the Gates of the Future. l Beyond the gates, Life lay before him. The Pil- grim stepped into the new kingdom, a smile upon his lip and peace and understanding in his heart. -I f . . -lam... , .now-ull. 11. 4 Tac, --'l.o' , f - - ,f, u.u .-,um : 1 -- jf ,' ' lglfggx 7-.lu ,,f'V-- . f '- X . lll'J, l 'C'-'v.

V 28 P8225- MILITANT SUFFRAGETTE AR- RESTED. Throw Stones at Hon. Raymond Fer- guson to Drive Home Words. The Women's Peace Party was as- tounded and humiliated last night when Mrs. Timberlake Von Johnson, one of the worthy members, threw a brick at the Honorable R. Fergu- son, knocking off his skull cap and bruising his eye. The Hon. R. Fer- guson in righteous wrath called the proper authorities to his assistance. Mrs. Von Johnson was arrested on the charge of cruelty to dumb ani- mals. The Chief of Police Marie Gibbons. and her worthy Deputy, Gen- evieve Wilson had some little diffi- culty in arresting the somewhat ro- bust Mrs. Von Johnson. They re- port that she only takes her food by force since being arrested. Steals a. Bride and Beats Irate Papa to Parsons. Tecumseh, July 4, 1920.-Mr. Walter Johnson very successfully stole a bride and arrived at the Par- son's and had the knot tied before her irate father could arrive and prevent. The marriage bride is one of the leading society belles of this city. As her father's anger has not subdued, they will make their home out of town. Mr. Johnson is a thriv- ing young broker in Spencer. New Equipment for T. H. S. The Board met last night and vo- ted the money for the purchase of some very necessary equipment for Topeka High School. President Al- len Neely says that in the near fu- ture Topeka High School will be in advance of every other school in the United States. At the meeting last night money was vozeci for the fol- lowing machinesg-1. A Cranium In- spector, and X-ray machine to be used by the teachers to examine the amount and the quality of the stored knowledge in the pupil's brain. This will be a great labor saving machine for the overworked teacher. This machine was invented by Professor I-Iepworth. The cost was S5,000,000. The inventor gave the school a 25 per cent discount. II. The Cerebellum Stuffer, and elaborate electric machine to be used for pupils wishing to obtain their education quickly and painlessly. This was invented by Mr. A. J. Stout former Principal of T. H. S. A year of German can be injected in the pupil's cerebellum region in fifteen minutes. The cost of the machine was 323, 666.63 wholesale. III. An Automatic Corn feeder for the Latin Ponies. This wonder- ful work was invented and donated to the school by Miss Fowler. How- ever, the Board of Education must pay the freight amounting to 599 from Kiro, Kansas. I IV. An electric Spasmodic Brief Constructor for the use of English 7 classes. The inventor of this labor saving device is Mr. John Leo Ewell, a former student of the Topeka High School. The Board also voted money for a nursery where Freshmen may take afternoon naps, a nurse will be em- ployed for the supervision of the nursery. Woman to Take Bearg's Place as Coach. First in the History of the Topeka High School. Miss Grace Elmore has been elect- ed to the position of coach of the Foot-ball Team, which has just been vacated by Professor Bearg. It was decided by the Board of Education that owing to the large number of girls on the squad at the present time, a lady coach would be desir- able. The appointment is entirely satisfactory to all concerned. Pros- pects are bright for the T. H. S. eleven this season. Prof.: I'ni sorry, Mr. Saxon, but I find it necessary to flunk you. Do you know why? Saxon: 'AI haven't any idea. Prof.: That's exactly right. Kansas Girl Causes Sensation ln Paris. The Unseen Valued at S7,000. Paris, Jan. 20.-The art critics of this city are wildly enthusiastic over a recent painting by the young American artist, Miss Florence Mc- Broom. The picture is entitled The Unseen.

A Noble Act. . . One of the most spectacular yet pathetic acts took ptace yesterday afternoon at the G. A. R. encamp- ment meeting. Mrs. Faye VVarring presented to this worthy organiza- tion many of the Mexican War rel- ics of 1916? Attendants at the meeting say that during the presen- tation of the sofa pillow, pennant and the diamond , many loud sup- pressed sobs were heard through- out the hall.

If the Searchlight mistatement of columns or any any man, thing, --We apologizeg do. has made any the facts in its error concerning woman, or child, that's all we can Life at T. H. S. The student starts to school against his will and leaves it against his will? During his stay there, his time is spent in one continuous round of contradictions and misun- derstandings. When he is a Fresh- man, he is an angel and carries home large fat E's to his proud par- ents. When he is a Sophomore, he is a human hyena or a pie-faced imp of Satan, the distress of both teach- ers and parents. As a Junior, he is rather a subdued creature, who is given to crushes on either Fresh- man or Senior girls. As a Senior, he is a dishevelled, wild looking mortal, dashing around trying to get his name on the Senior roll or obtain the leading role in-the Senior play. If he combs his hair and uses talcum, he is considered a primpg if vice versa, he is uncouth and is graded low on personal aPPea1'?nCe- If he participates in scnool activities, he is considered a grafter and ac- cused of being socially ambitious, if he does not, he is neglecting his duty as a student. If he pays his class dues, he is a foreflusher and is look- ing for notoriety, if he does not, he is a tightwad. If he eats at the cafeteria, he is crushed and jammed by the hungry student body and if he seeks a place of solitude, he is asked troublesome questions by the authorities. If he studies hard and gets through in three years, he is a pill, and if he does not, and flunks, he is a prodigal son for whom there is no day of repentance, a worthless expense to his parents. If he-Oh what's the use? Get in the whirlwind and enjoy yourself with the rest of us. Letter to the Searchlight. Dear Sir: You will never know' how much I enjoy your daily newsg if you ever do know, you will stop editing this valuable sheet, for then you will realize your efforts have been rewarded. Since we were in T. H. S. together, I cannot appre- ciate with you the wonderful changes and modern improvements in the organizations and ideals of Topeka High School. Some worthy pen wrote We never miss the water until the well runs dry. Well, we never miss the class parties, the fights and the good boy and girl friends we had in T. H. S. until we left behind us all our High School associations. I never fully appre- ciated my teachers or any of my friends until I realized we were never to be together again. I no- ticed the Social Calendar for the week. Pupils of the present time certainly are being prepared for the social world. How wise this is! When students leave school they will not be timid wall flowers at dances, receptions and pink teas. I often wish we had been allowed to dance at our parties. And yet could we have had a better time in our day! Those wonderful me-- chanical improvements that are be- ing purchased for the High School are indeed excellent. Just think how many weary hours are saved both for students and pupils. And yet l believe students lack the se- rious earnestness that characterized our classmates. I think I like the old method of work better. I rather think the results are more lasting. I am hoping these extreme new ideas are fads which will soon lose their attractiveness and I shall be satisfied if they do not permanently injure the wholesome spirit of our boys and girls. My idea is that the boys and girls of today will be the good, jolly, democratic t'bunch that we once were, possessed of a great deal of common sense, for all our seeming frivolity. Lillian Marguerite Huckell, Editor of the Ladies' Home lournal. tThe Editor of the Searchlight ap- preciated this letter very much, but is sorry to state that he cannot agree with such old-fashioned senti- ments.j T. H. S. Graduate Honored. Washington, D. C.-The promo- tors of free verse have been so suc- cessful in their fight to maintain the use of the free verse in America that a National Free verse writer has en appointed by the President. This appointment was given to Miss Edna Bacchus of Topeka, Kansas. New Telephone Line. First Recorded Conversation be- tween Life and High ,School Senior. Professor Coppedge of the Tope- ka High School has just completed a new telephone line, over which the High School student may converse with life and be informed about what life holds for him. This will be of great value to the student on leaving the sheltering Wings of T. H. S. as it will save him many mis- takes in making decisions. The price of a single conversation is S333,777. This price is rather high for the av- erage High School Student, but Pro- fessor Coppedge says that it can easily be raised by the student if he abstains from the use of gum and refrains from going to the Novelty, throughout his entire High School course. Often the student finds that Life has ,an entirely different destination for him than the one he has selected. The following conver- sation was heard between Life and a High School Senior.- Life-Yes? Senior-Uh-Uh-Is-this you. Well I graduated last night and got a goodlooking sheepskin. Whatshu got for me now? Life-How much do you want? What position would you like to have? Senior-Well now I hadn't thought much about anything. I could do most anything. Come to think about it, I believe I'd like a political job, something nice, lllfi and snappy, you know. I've got lots of social obligations to attend THE SEARCHLIGHT H263 to. I'm now an alumnus of T. H. S., a member of the Dramatic Club, Tuesday afternoon Dancing class and many other clubs. Haven't much time for business-you know. Life-Yes, I understand perfect- ly. Andrew Carnegie would be de- lighted to have you for a Junior member of his firm. You will be minus 31,000 per week with a raise in two weeks. Will that sat- isfy you? Senior-Well-I guess that will be all right. I really am glad to get most anything.

Denver-The latest discovery in the world of horticulturists is the wonderful Screaming Cucumber. This rare fruit was produced through the efforts of Mr. Sidney Hastings.

The Cutest Crusher-Raymond Ferguson. The Constant Crusher-Faye War- ring. fKJNight Krusher-Verna Wise. Near Crusher-Chalton Powers. Correct English Council. Theme Given Highest Rank on the Latest Scale Made to Demonstrate English as She ls Often Spoke. The f'Freshie. The Freshie is a queer little guy, scared dippy over the profs. He is treated rocky by high-stepping upper class kids, who kid him constantly. Many times he is jipped out of two- bits for seats in assembly that do not exist. The keen little Freshie should not be killed because soon he will be stepping out high and wide with the Janes and all the high brows, beating the time of many of the before mentioned high-stepping guys. Then believe me, that sure will make the ginks sore, when he gets a crush on his Jane. Some- times the Freshie gets to talking Pills, then the Profs can him from High. The cops will pinch him, too, if he doesn't watch his P's and Q's. There are times when the Freshie feels like the bird they call the elephant, but usually he would make a good squirrel food. 11 H 11 tt 7 The Seasons Best Sellers. Su'itor's Mistakes - By Hon.

J. said you must stay here, If you don't like the soup and bean hash Then don't' start to do anything rash Don't act like the cur in the story Don't bite the hand that's feeding you.

J We have three glorious teachers in our High School In Mathematics, English and Design. Who, though we never tho't that they would ever do a thing so bold, Have lately joined the matrimonial line. Of course they claim that they will be far more happier At making cakes and pies and scrubbing floors Than teaching fertile minds the way to knowledge Or teaching gentle souls the way to soar And so they say without a sigh To the ones they've taught till they thought rthey'd die H Good-bye kids, we're through. Each one we've ever taught We say good-bye to you And leave for futures sought We're done with recitations, Exams and grade cardation We have found the ones most true, Good-bye kids, good-bye kids, good-bye kids, we're through.

H. S. To Miss Hall. CTune: Mother Machree. J There's a spot in our hearts, which no other can own, There's a deep love for you that you have never known, There's a place in our memory, our lives that you fill, No other can take it, no one ever will. Chorus. Sure, we love the gay laughter that shines in your eyes, And your kind cheerful spirit as bright as the skies. We'll remember you always forever and all Oh.

To Miss McElroy. iTunes Way Down Upon the Swanee River. J Way down below the ground you see Seeds, roots and such. That's what Miss McElroy says to me And why she makes us work so much, Oh, every seedling has a meaning. Every tree a root So saith she, her fair face beaming, As she puts a P in her book. Continued To School fTune: Pretty Baby. J You ask us why We're always feeling glad, You always seem to think that we are crazy But really why should we be now so sad For we'll soon be gone, can't you see. We're going out into this world with happy heart, For we're going to leave you now and get a start, In this great world, of one great whirl So now we must all say good-bye. Chorus.

A As every reader of Col1ier's knows, that pub- lication has for years fought the use of patent medicines. Therefore when George D. Biggs, of Maple Hill wrote Collier's about a drug store he had found in Topeka that sells patent medicines, but does not recommend 'e1n, it is a natural se- quence that an editorial should follow. Here's the editorial: 'In '1'opeka,' writes, George D. Bizrgs, super- intendent of schools at Maple Hill, Kan.. 'I read a sign in the T. V. Campbell Drug' Com'pany's store! Here's the sign: WWE SELL PATENT MEDICINES. BUT W'E DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM, IF YOU ARE SICK, SEE A DOCTOR. This shows what the present attitude of the most up-to-date 'druggists is. It is only human of druggists to sell patent dope, just as it is only human for the bartender to sell the booze that is the basis of his livelihood. The druggist knows better and the best bartenders sldestep the stuff- but theres money in it! At the last analysis, it is up to the public. The press gives warning-the trade itself says: If you are sick, see a doctor! And even the doctors give more good a-dviee than they used to, and fewer Dil1s. -Topeka Daily Capital of December 22, 1914. 107 West sixth street Phone 922 T. V.
