Q In the year of '22 there entered Victory High School one hundred freshmen, Hgreenest of the green -yes, we were freshmen. Although I honor, uphold, and cherish our class I must say again that we were green It was then that I thought the world belonged to me. After the first few weeks of bantering by the upper classmen, of whom the Sophs - were the worst offenders, we were considered a part of that most wander- ful institution Victory High School. Most of us passed on to the highest dignity of Sophomores. Our highest am- bition was to tease and banter the Freshmen but lo! and behold! the next year there were no Freshmen to tease and we were again made the goats by the upper classmen. Juniors! Now we had reached our goal from which position we towered down on the lowly Sophs. This position we had obtained by hard work and realized it could only be kept and bettered by the sweat of our brows. Of this fact we were thoroughly convinced when we received our grades for the period. We contributed no men to the Varsity football or basketball teams, but we had valiant workers on both squads. The social life of our Junior year was both en' joyable and entertaining. Parties were mixed in to liven up the school year. The class of '27 in their Junior year edited and produced one of the best an- nuals that has ever been produced at Victory. Our president for this year was Lance Gillespie. Also in our Junior year the class gave a play named Am I Intruding P This play was the first ever given by a Junior class at Victory. It was directed by Miss Verne Matthews and Miss Elizabeth Glenn. This play was given and raised about one hundred dollars for the year book fund. In thinking we had reached our highest goal as Juniors we were mistaken. We were now Seniors! ' We enrolled seventy strong and entered into our work with zeal. At our first meeting we elected the following officers: President: Paul Sutton Vice President: Lance Gillespie Secretary: Maude Morris Treasurer' Madeline Fitzpatrick Our first act under our new officers was to have a meeting and elect Mr. Carlton Wood, as Sponsor of the Class of '27, There followed many parties and social activities but amid this gayety the Seniors were doing good work in all classes. This was proven when at the end of the first period the Seniors were lead- ing the school with the least percentage of failures. TWENTY-SEVEN Dui'-innioiniaoioiuifvioil X' I I S ig. l VICTORY-1927 We entered this, our Senior year under the leadership of a new principal in the person of Mr. Arthur Upton, whom we have all learned to honor and respect. Our advisors are: Miss Verne Matthews, Miss Janet McCar1, Miss Bertha Traugh, and Mr. L. R. Pratt. This year we had three men on the Varsity football team and are hoping for as many in basketball. These were Paul Sutton, half, Bill Maxwell, centerg and Lance Gillespie, guard. We have as Seniors, reached our highest ambition but I wonder how many of us realize that this our graduation from high school is only the beginning of better and higher things. To some of us it may mean college, to others marriage and a home and to still others it may mean a leap into the business world. But no matter what it may mean to us, let us always remember that it was only through the love and cooperation of our teachers we received the most from our four years of high school at Victory, the name we love so well. JOHN C. SOUTHERN, JR., '27, O'fgW N- Q i ' ' 'Y' i TWENTY-EIGHT ' ' ' AJ i 'i Lil 'S i ' r I -Lisif 'ViE.Egw...w.-szlifajf . :Si VICTORY-1927 Senior Class Prophecy vv-vvvvxfcfefvvv-vvvvxn I am no seer nor prophet but the years of experience has brought vision to my eyes which does not often err from my judgment. Fifty years ago I was a student and also I had high ,ambitions and lofty ideals. As I look back now, all of them were only Soap Bubbles which burst upon graduation, some for lack of ambition. some for financial reasons. All of my class mates are gone now and only their memory remains and it is from the memory of our experiences that as I look upon the silly present generation. I can see their future painted in their actions as they loaf their way through school. Thoughts of my school days bring tears to my eyes because the present generation are not the only ones who have, sometime or other, loafed in school, although it is done now more than in former years. I was sunk in deep recollection when my valet presented himself and reminded me of the wonderful program being given in New York, which had been talked of so long. And the radio is working fine sir, he said. I, with my thoughts, moved to the next room and seated myself before the large, open fire place with the radio at arms length. I turned to station CLARKS-burg, before tuning into W. E. A. F., one that I always turned to early or late, but this time I was impressed with a rough voiced man speaking intelligently, VVe must not let the present generation fall, but uplift it, and follow the examples of great men such a Elza G. Walters, the great states- man. If I could have been heard over the radio I would have yelled Bravo, to think that Elza had made use of his loud speaker. But the speaker continued. In 1927, I graduated with one of the most up- lifting, contributing classes I have ever known. Miss Dr. M. M. Bond is perform- ing new experiments every day, bringing us to the light in 'the scientific world, poems written by William Maxwell have presented to us the beauty of this old world, Cora Freeman and Lillian Keaster are teaching the natives of Africa, as- sisted by the great physician, Dr. Guy McClain. Victory High School is now profiting by her graduates, such as Dr. Maud Morris, who has her Ph. D. degree and is Head of the History Department. TWENTY-NINE --' VICTORY-1927 The physical education classes are directed by the best instructor in the state, Ethel Whiteman. The Commercial Department produces the best stenographers available only because of the capability of its teacher, Miss Trella Manear. Mathematics have become a pleasure under the instruction of Karl H. Powell. Dr. Horace Powell is leading the Science Department assisted by Reon Davis of Biology, Kenneth Mittong of General Science and Samuel Mazza of Chemistry. There are four of the best educated, most advancing teachers of the times in the English rooms of Victory. The Freshman instructor being Lucille Costilowg the Sophomore, Madeline Romineg junior, Leetta Cottrillg and Senior, Wilma Fleming. Still striving for a standard higher, than the ones which the Faculty have given us. The reason for Victory High School's undefeated football team for the last four years, is the result of the excellent training of the Coach, Loren H. Rogers. The person known as the American Frenchwoman is now giving the young people of today the same opportunity that she had. Mildred Busch has been in France half of her time since her graduation in 1927, acquiring a greater knowledge for you and your children. In an office on the left hand side, as you go into the building of Victory High School, is. seated the man, who has held up his side of toil, Ellsworth R. McClung, Superintendent of Schools. Across the hall is seated a principal, Herley N. Richards, who time and time again had prophesied that he would, some day, be the one to write excuses and give hard boiled looks. The High School building was never completed until Marshall Martin had tak- en a thorough course in architecture and today the completed building stands a monument of his achievement. In the last five years the music classes have given the best operettas ever staged on a platform, under the supervision of Margaret james, their director, and Made- line Fitzpatrick, their pianist, receiving new music daily, from the opera 'shark. Lance C. Gillespie. ' TI-IIRTY -ieviuuio-1010111101021 .3 ., img iL..eJalXr.a.i s-...Jin -inn -rv:-5 G. .l .nf TVICTORY--1927 ' judge John C. Southern, Jr., is still holding high the torch of strife handed down to him by his father. Great ecclesiastical work has been accomplished under the supervision of Rev. Arnett B. Bell. One of the best army officers in the United States today is our old friend and classmate Charles Summerville. Among the noted flappers of the day and age is another of our classmates in the person of Elizabeth Carnes. The World's Largest Traveling Freak Show is under the management of our old friend William Hutchinson. A One of the best known aviators in the business of flying today is another of our classmates Reon Davis. The largest newspaper in the city of Chicago is under the management of our former school paper editor Mr. Paul Sutton. -MARGARET VVARNER, '27 R ctw V9 9 3 Q ' 'Agpmff' as lift THIRTY-ONE VICTORY-1927 PLAY THE GAME FAIR vv'vxAfvvvvx,v,A Victory men always are there In basketball or any sport They win most every affair But to cheating they never resort. Cheating they say is in style In some places-not in school For using base methods the while Has never been Victory's rule. To win your way in this field of strife Be a good loser and not unfair Make a good clean record for life But be an honest player and square. Of all games that have been played I have my first one yet to see Where anyone has ever said, That Victory team was cheating me. Gur men have not 'been that kind To play a game and not play square May this thought be left behind To win the game but do it fair. So through life let's be the same In meeting the problems that arise Be square and honor your name And don't give people a surprise. -WILMA FLEMING '27 T I . w w ll-4 ' -T' THIRTY-TWO i .5 - .1 .lm .

I was told that I was wanted in office. I went toward the office swiftly, wondering what could have happened. Mr. Upton met me at the door and told me I was wanted for a personal interview. Going into the inter-office I was very much surprised to see Miss VVard, our former foreign language teacher. Miss Ward who had been gone from Victory for two years told me she hazl come to get in better touch with dear old Victory. She told me she had had a talk with one officer from each class but the Juniors and that I had the privilege of telling her what had happened since her absence. I told her that upon entering Victory as Sophomores we had claimed our rights not to be treated as Freshies. Our second year was a success due to the help of the Sophomore Advisors and of our class officers who were: Halley Cottrill, as Presidentg Sarah Hill, as Vice Presidentg Nellie Helmick, as Secretaryg and Jerome Malfregeot, as Treasurer. During this year of school we were not only well represented in Athletics but in Literary Work. Wtih a new Principal and few changes in the faculty, school starts off fine in our junior year. The same officers are presiding over the junior Class this year as were last year, the officers of '25 and '26 having been re-elected. We, the junior Class, feel that we are very proud of Dorsey Hines for the sacrifice he made for our school. We are proud of Captain Hood, Ashcraft, Malfregeot, Eakins. Billotte and Hines as they are letter men from our class this year. We also expect to have several letter men in basketball.

We entered the junior High Schools in the fall of 1925. The sun was bright and warm and as the warm sun helps to swell the buds in the spring, so did High School swell the heads of our one hundred eleven. We were loaded down with credentials: the results of hard work in the grades. At our first class meeting we elected reliable officers who we think were a great help during our Freshman year. We were represented in athletics and social activities. Both boys and girls participated. The prosperous work went on until May 1926, when we received our diplomas from the District Supervisor, Mr. Wolverton. All of the good and faithful passed out of the miserable and looked down-on Freshmen into a newer and different class called Sophomores at Victory High School. Upon entering Victory we elected the following officers: Charles Costilow, President, Gladys Shinn, Vice Presidentg Wilbur Koontz, Secretaryg and Paul Anderson, Treasurer. Now as we are Sophomores we are becoming more refined and doing away with our Freshie ideas and tricks. The class has been doing good work and expects to keep it up till it reaches its goal in 1929.

I followed this stream for a distance, nothing disturbing the silence except a small bird which warbled its evening song. Then suddenly, placing a gigantic globe before my eyes, a weird voice seemed to say, If you want to see what the future holds for your classmates. look into the center of this sphere. I gazed silently into it and after a few moments a large movie theater appeared before my vision. Burdine Caussin, by his winning smile, had won fame in movie- land and who, with his fair wife CNe1lie Jenkinsj was living in their palatial resi- dence in Hollywood. William fBillQ Picco had also won much fame as an actor. The Director of this National Film Company was none other than Wilbur Koontz. In this theater also was Marcel Huet, a wonderful musician, playing the piano to his heart's content. Carrol CHop Singj Swindler was joking as usual. As that vision faded from view, I saw a large farm. Horace QPatj Rice was standing in the door ringing t ' inner-bell. Beside him stood Mrs. Rice, whom I recognized as Phyllis Wolverth . As that scene disappeared, a small country school house came into view. Professor Robert CBobj Titchenal, strutting around the room with a birch rod under his arm, had for his slogans: Reading, writing and arithmetic, Taughtvto the tune of a hickory stick. Nevertheless, the small school changed into a larger one, which had as teach- ers: Miss Joy Lamb, Lating Miss Catherine Morrison, Gymg while Mrs. Anna McClung, fwhose name had once been Morganj was teaching Home Economics. Bessie McDaniel was conducting an English class, Marian McIntyre was leading an industrious group of children in art and Norma Carpenter was getting along won- derfully with her shorthand class. ' FIFTY-ONE ti: . 'at A A University was next visible. Our loyal, old Charles, President of the Sophomore class, still holding the position as president, was loved and praised by all. He was doing his work splendidly. Edward Powell and Herbert Wyckoff were always standing by Charles. This picture moving slowly away, I saw Clarence Ledoux in a large room surrounded by many different sizes and colors of Radios. He had been given the name of Radio King, and had as his assistant Keith Gould. This scene changed quickly, introducing me to a court room. Miss Avice Findley, a lawyer, was very much concerned about the case. Howard Johnson had stolen some farm products from Tim Laughery, and his partner, Oral Freeman. The court room was visible no more. A large music store appeared, bearing the name Hannah Brothers and Company. Lowell and Corbin were very busy. selling all kinds of musical instruments. This scene vanishing, a hat shop came to view. Due to the patience of Miss McCarl, Geraldine Collins was successfully making beautiful hats. Next I saw a large theater in Paris in which Leona Wolfe and Virginia Pitzer were expert dancers, under the direction of Mary Eleanor Lyon. Who could that lady be who was dressed in a costly French lace dress? She seemed to be paying more attention to the little one beside her than to performers. She turned and I recognized Georgia Gummg she had at last found a husband. It was no wonder she was watching him so closely, fog Nick Linger wais a handsome man. .-Q. The next thing in view was a large apartment building. Jennie Philippart came hurrying to the window followed by her hus d, Sam Clingan. Although I strained my eyes to see more, thi gene quickly disappeared. I could see a large Roman Chapel. Paul Anderson dressed in a long robe was marching down the aisle with his arms folded. Among his main followers were: Mary Cebek, joe Chiado, Rose Tricroce, and Tony Morano. Virginia VVeeks was playing the pipe organ with much enthusiasm. The globe turned a little and a business section of New York loomed up before me. In the heart of this section was a large stock exchange. A prominent-looking man came out smiling as he put a roll of bills into his pocket. As the smile broad- ened I knew it to belong to the clear-cut features of Edward Chadwell. A card fell from his pocket revealing the fact that he had reached his one ambition Owner of the Chadwell Oil and Gas Company. A large sign was now before my eyes. It read Royal Davis and Company. Royal Davis and Company! What about this combination? just then Royal Davis came walking out of a building. I learned from him that he had bought the Royal and also the Davis Baking Powder Companies and was making much progress. The sphere became a blank and I knew that I had my wish fulfilled.

The rings have a very unique and attractive appearance and it is expected that they will continue to please the students who shall graduate in the future years. The accomplishment of this proposition means a larger enrollment for the alumni as the price of the initiation fee into the organization is included in the cost of the ring. The idea of economy was also thought of in selection of this standard ring as new patterns demand a higher price. Many other schools are following this plan and it is a very good idea after all. Complimentary to the 1927 graduating class, we, the alumni, will entertain with the annual banquet and reception in the early summer, probably June. As this party is an annual affair for the graduates, it is looked forward to as very en- joyable. School colors are in evidence everywhere and the old pep and enthusiasm about the school came back to us with the spirit of ye olden tyme. As several members of our alumni have become famous athletes in recent years, it is hoped that the good reputation of these members will remain. For this reason we boost our school because it can be done with an honest heart. If we as members of the alumni do not show what we can do to boost our school, who will do it for us? The alumni is very proud of the teams especially the footbal lteam of 1926. T he organization showed its appreciation by presenting the boys with gold footballs. The Alumni Association is always ready to make preparations to sponsor any worth while enterprise that the school may undertake. Members of the class of 1927, as well as the future class, will be cordially welcomed into the organization in the spring. mil. . . .. .. ,gill ' Q 3 FIFTY-FIVE l i l l l Y i Q Nl O Z 'C I 1 fe N Nl Q l i i The Student Council HIS body is composed of the officers and ex-officers of each class.

Victory upset the dope by a 21 to 0 score over their much larger opponents. October 9, along came Grafton, this is when a visitor at Victory Field failed to make a first down. Victory won 33 to 0. October 15, was the date at Fairmont East Side, where we took our first beating 41 to 6. This being the first invasion of foreign land by the new and green team, we were beaten terribly. However at this time Ashcraft set a High School record of the year, after receiving the ball on a kick-off he made a spectacu- lar 82 yard run for a touchdown. Then the following week, October 22, Buckhannon with the strongest team in its history invaded Victory Field. Our boys were by far outmatched. With a de- termination to wipe out the defeat of the past week, simply because Buckhannon and East Side had played a scoreless game earlier in the sason, Victory was put to a severe test. Laurels to our boys upon the Fight they made! For Buckhannon made only one first down, got possession of the ball twice past the 50 yard lineg while Victory made 8 first downs and gained nearly 200 yards, game being played in the shadow of Buckhannon goal. And yet the visitors won the day by a 5 to 0 score. However as the game was coming to a close, had it not been for Dorsey's serious injury Victory might have won. This game was a moral victory. Everyone was worried over Dorsey's injury. His absence necesistated a complete reorganization in team play, this had to be done before leaving for Shinns- ton, the following Friday, October 30. As Dorsey's critical condition had some- what improved, it was decided not to cancel the game against Shinnston, but to fight an up hill battle. Team morale was low, minds were passive, and we were beaten 26 to 6. A. The next game was played at Victory Field on November 6th against the big team from Lumberport High. The,Victory Fight and determination began to come back and the boys trounced Lumberport, 14 to 0. At Victory Field on November 13 was the game against Washiiigtoii Irving. Up to this game, at home, the Victory goal still remained uncrossed. But here we were completely outclassed and outmatched. Washington Irving with its vet- eran team proved to be too big and strong for Victory, and won 48 to 0. Due to a flaw in the schedule by not playing VVashington Irving in the last game of the season, Victory on November 20th, journeyed to Bridgeport to play its last game. Football interest had dropped off, which the team also sensed, and the natural outcome of this game was a 29 to O score for the strong Bridgeport eleven.

He knows football and on many occasions his clear thinking saved the day. Ed is with us, he does not graduate and we will hear more from him at Victory. DORSEY HINES Shumie Hines was the only letter man to return from last year's famous team. We looked to him for leadership and he pro- vided it until an injury almost took him away from us. With excellent medical aid he was pulled through and now is better than ever. He has all the qualities of a good football man and should make the mythical all state team before he grad- uates. We expect big things from Shumie next year. BERNARD ASHCRAFT Last year Bun did not get far in foot- ball due to a back injury. This year when we needed material badly he stepped into the breach and filled the position of full- back. Bernard is big and fast. He has ability and whenever he gets confidence in his own ability he will not have an op- ponent in the state better than he is. He has been honored by being elected captain for next fall and will lead our team on the gridiron next season. Good luck, Bernard. PAUL SUTTON Though diminutive in size, Paul played a big part in the past season's successes and we are proud of his efforts for Victory. Paul is a senior and graduates this spring. We know the fight he showed on the football field will carry him far when he goes to college. Paul not only excells in athletics but other student activities as well and we expect to hear much about him in the future. uv SEVENTY FIVE A 'en' v'-'rf' 'rr '1-Nj - .f : 1 :'vlq'y's-- 'ls ' 1- -- ---A---I i ' -f,I-- 4 - -V ,w--mspw'-'v'i r-7 'I l l l l SEV ENTY-S IX 'i i I I'l1'PZ0Z' uviolnivivzaaievxcuiievxwniaszvimvlu JEROME MALFREGEOT Runt is not very big but what he lacks in size he makes up in fight and speed. Jerome loves the game ani especially if he can crowd a little fun into the serious busi- ness. He can call signals like an old timer and quickly sizes up the defense to find their weaknesses. Jerome is filling out fast and if he adds a few more pounds this summer will make it hard going for anyone opposing him next year. His greatest ambition is to bcat Washington Irving and we hope that he will realize it before he graduates. PAUL EAKINS Paul like Bernard was handicapped last year. In spring practice he broke his leg and was unable to play. This year he had fully recovered and made the varsity. Paul played an end and while he was light he sec-med to be able to diagnose plays and spill them in their beginning. Paul is a junior so we will hear more about him next season. WILLIAM MAXVVELL Bill came out for a while last year but not much attention was given him. Everyone thought him too thin and light to play foot- ball. Kallina thought otherwise this fall and after the first game put Bill in at cen- ter. Bill played the position to perfection and was without doubt the best man in the line. We are sorry to say that he graduates this spring for his place will be a hard one to fill. Bill we wish you luck at college and a continuance of the fine spirit you showed while at Victory. SAM CLINGAN Sam is a hard worker and a grim fighter. He loves any kind. of competition and makes it his one aim to win. His playing and ways, While not spectacular, appeal to the fans with whom he is a great favorite. Sam plays an end and while this is his first year he quickly picked up the technique of the position. With two more years at Vic- tory one cannot predict what good things we will be able to say about him before he goes on to greater fields of endeavor. nj-wiv ni-his-is L JOE TALKINGTON Joe was a big gun on the Northview Junior High team last year and when he came to Victory he expected the opposition to fade away before as easy as it did there. He found it did not and for a game or two lost confidence in himself. However he came back and at the end of the season was playing good football. Joe has a lot to learn yet but he is willing and with two more years at Victory, he should prove a bulwark of strength to the line. JOHN BILLOTTE John Billotte is another person that never had much confidence in himself until this year. John was easy going and played foot- ball that way. This year when we needed him he completely changed and when he hit 'em they came down. John will be n good man next year and out to get much recognition if he plays as he knows how. LANCE GILLISPIE Lance was not born to be a football player but this year when we had to have material he presented himself and soon won a guard position. He did not have time to learn all the fine points of the game but played whole heartedly as he knew best. Lance is strong and time after time stopped up holes in the line. Lance graduates this spring and in after life we know he will proudly wear the V he earned and often think of good times he had at Victory Field. MARVIN MURPHY Marvin was the utility man of the line. He was played in first one position and then other. He played all positions creditably and was a strong factor in our winning games. Marvin is quiet, unassuming, but is always on the job. This is his first year at Victory and he will be playing for us two more years.

He did not play so flashing a game but was always ready and one that the coach could call on for emergency. Bill broke his leg the last week of practice which handicapped him for basketball but he will be in good shape for football next year. BURDINE CAUSSIN Burdine was another first year man that made the varsity. He has a keen mind and quickly picked up a playing knowledge of the game. Like others on the team he was very light but was fast and hit the line like a battering ram. Burdine is a speed mer- chant and next year, the way he is grow- ing, he will be hard. to stop. WILLIAM PETIT Bill was handicapped by not knowing much about football and because he was growing so fast that he could not handle himself very well. He was eager and will- ing though and did his part under all cir- cumstances. He and William McFarlin lack- ed just a little time to make their letters but will next year. ANGEL SAN JULIAN Angel is the old reliable of the Victory teams. Win or lose Angel is always with the team and cheering them on. No matter what the coach or team wants, Angel tries to supply their needs. Angel's services are almost indispensible and we are glad that he will be with us another year. SEVENTY-EIGHT rin 'Zvi' '14 Finale 10:1-iv rioioioivzw-1-rio:-3 Basket Ball Review 1926-1927 facing him as he found in football namely that all of last vears first gfgt-in string men had graduated or were on the sick list. However he had some green but promising material and with this he started to build up a squad. EN Coach Kallina started basketball practice, he found the same situation He had Eakins, Malfregeot. Hood, Cottrill, and McClung from last year's second stringg Petit and Murphy from Adamston Junior High, and Caussin, Talk- ington, and Clingan from North View junior High. Thirty other candidates re- ported but soon showed that they could not make the squad and were sent to the reserve team. With this material Kallina faced the season and started to play the schedule. The first game was with Lost Creek, and since Kallina had had less than two weeks to train the boys, we lost to them 10-16. The following Friday Lumberport came over with the expectations of beating Victory at least twenty or thirty points. Fans were surprised at the showing of the Victory lads for Lumberport emerged the winner by only eight points. Shinnston came the next Tuesday after beating Washington Irving by seven- teen points on the W. I. floor. It was a great battle and when the smoke had cleared away they had only beat us ten points with their crack team. Then came the Richwood game and 'Victory with their back against the wall of four defeats suddenly turned the tables. Richwood had a husky band of six footers but that didn't worry our boys a bit for they were out to win for several reasons. John Work, the Richwood coach, was a classmate of Kallina's and then our former principal was at Richwood. It was a game long to be remembered and we emerged with our first victory this year by turning in the score of 21-16. Wheeling under the tutelage of John Knight avenged the 20-9 defeat they received at Victory gym this year before last when they beat us 25-12. Then came the W. I.-Victory game and it was whispered around that Dorsey Hines would be able to play. Dorsey did play and in his old time form as long as his wind lasted. The first half Washington Irving was only leading by two points. The last half when Dorsey was all in they ran away with us but we were determin- ed to get the next game. Salem beat us 15-17 and then came Tunnelton with a record of winning twleve out of fourteen games. It was not even good practice and we beat them 48-16. The final home game was with 'Washington Irving. Dorsey was in better shape and we had hopes of winning but VV. I. got a lead in the beginning and with three minutes to play the score stood 25-13 in their favor. Our boys then seemed possessed and in the three remaining minutes made ten points and, as the gun cracked, the score stood 25-23. We were defeated but it was a great game anyway. NVe had better luck with our schedule away from home than at home. Losing the first game away from home to Grafton by four points, we umnt to Lost Creek. They defeated us earlier in the season but we came back and in two extra periods beat them 25-24. The eleventh of February we played Shinnston who had defeated Washington Irving by big scores twice and defeated us once. It was a thrilling game with Shinnston having the score 17-6 at one time. Our boys got SEVENTY-NINE -i1u3a1Qo: VICTORY-1927 started in the last quarter and did not stop until the score was Z6-28 in our favor. just as the gun cracked Shinnston tied the score and in the extra period Eakins, Petit and Hines each made one to one made by Cubbins for Shinnston. The final score was 34-30 in our favor. Kallina had to report to the New York Giants by the twentieth so we wired the University of Illinois and Frank VVeege, our present coach, arrived the morn- ing of the eighteenth. He took the team which had had workouts under Coach Harry Minter to Lumberport and in the best game Victory played the whole sea- son, decisively beat them 36-21. Victory entered the tournament and, as fates would have it. drew Bridgeport. In what was considered one of the best games of the tournament we were defeated but in doing so Bridgeport expended all her strength and lost to a weaker opponent the next morning. When one considers that Salem and VVashington Irving were the only two teams to win both games scheduled with Victory and that we split on the others. When we only lost by two points to the runners up for the state championship. VV hen we beat on their own floor, Shinnston that went to the semi-finals at Buck- hannon. When you consider the green material at the beginning of the year, one can call this year's record a success. Not a man on the team graduates and most of them have two years. The boys have mastered the fundamentals and are rapidly polishing off the rough spots. VVe will have a better team next year and with the Victory spirit predominating will build up records as has been done in the past.

His dribbling ability featured most of the games he was in. He will be back next year. JEROME MALFREGEOT-Forward Smallness and lack of experience kept Runt out of most of the games. He was always in there fighting, howeverg we look for more from him next year. MARVIN MURPHY-Guard Murphy never says much but gets into the game with all he has. He could always be counted upon to stop the enemy when one of the other guards had an off day. Murphy will be back with us next year.

EDWARD HOOD-Guard Ed was the running mate for Ebbieg they worked well together. Ed says he is going to practice snow birds all summer. Watch him put them in next year.

He has two more years. WILLIAM PETIT--Forward Bill was noted for his aggressiveness and fighting spirit. He never gave up even though things looked blue for Victory. Bill could always be found in the middle of a mixup. He will be a valuable man next year. JOHN SOUTH ERN-Manager John having served his apprenticeship as assistant manager, was made head manager this year in basketball and was one of the best that Victory ever had. John inherited his love for athletics and in every way lived up to traditions. John graduates this year and we hope to hear of him being a manager of W. V. U. soon.

This year's team did not play as many games as the teams of former years but they played the best teams in the valley. Owing to the fact that there was not any regular schedule made this year, the Reserve team only played seven games. Practice did not start until the middle of January and the first game was played about the last part of January. The first game played was with Lumberport which resulted in a win for the Eagle district lads by the score of 26-23. In this game it was plainly brought out that Victory was going to have a good team due to the fact that Victory scored 12 points in the last quarter to 3 for Lumberport. The ncxt game was played with Shinnston and was one of the best Reserve games played in this section during the season. The score was tied four different times dur- ing the game and was won by Shinnston in the last 15 seconds. During the last quarter first one team and then the other would be in the lead and with 15 seconds to play Victory was leading by one point and then one of Shinnston's forwards broke away and scored a field goal from the middle of the court just as the gun cracked. The first two games were the only ones lost by the Reserve team during the season. After the Shinnston game Victory played Clark District High Reserves and won by a one-sided score. The next game was with Sardis High Reserves which was won by a good score. In the next game with Shinnston Victory played one of the best games that was played by the team during the season which was won by the score of 21 to 15. The next game was with the strong De Molays team which had won 15 games in a row. In this game the Reserves were without the services of both guards but finally won by the score of 20 to 18. The final game of the season was played at Lumberport with the Reserve team of that place. In this game Victory showed that they had made rapid improvement during the season by defeating Lumberport 21 to IO who had earlier in the season defeated us by the score of 26 to 23. There were only three seniors on this years team and the greater part of the squad was made up from the sophomore class. Many of the boys on this year's squad will make strong bids for the varsity team next year. The boys that made up the team this year are as follows: Sam Mazzi, William Dodd, Horace Rice, William Picco and Wayne Bussey, forwards. Clarence Ledoux and Harold Crissman, centers. Paul Sutton, Bernard Ashcraft, Ralph Boyles and Paul Douglas, guards. EIGHTY-FOUR I--2--in-i4v11vi4-Z1vZ1v1vi1ri1viwvZ1vZl uri--i11114vi1vi1v1114:11-1-rivioi-if-if -1--102 kv .

It was difficult from the first to get enough out for scrimmage and several of these drop- flflflffljk ped out, due to various reasons. Alene and Ethel, two of the stand-bys. were unable to finish the season and this greatly crippled the team. Alene got a late start and played only a short time, while Ethel remained till the season was about half over. With odds against them the team was heroic and successful in making a good showing against some of the best teams on their schedule. Buckhannon and Penns- boro were both held to a tie on the home floor and both games were matched by spurts of brilliant playing.

This re- sulted in a serious handicap to the team. She resigned her office as Captain to Mary. Her interest in the team never abated and her loyalty was a source of inspiration to her team mates. MARY BOND-Forward Mary also has rounded out her fourth year of basketball at Victory. Being small was no handicap to her. She developed a pivot technique which was almost impossible to guard and her floor work and schooling ranks with the best in the state. She be- came Captain in Ethel's place. This duty naturally fell to her due to her experience. MARGARET WARNER-Guard Margaret is noted for her vitality and dis- played her usual pep and vim on the basket- ball floor. Her specialty was going into the air for the hall and leaving her forward traveling. Sho pivoted and dodged at will and was especially good at playing the floor by the loss of Ethel. Her floor work was hampered however. ALENE McCLUNG-Center Alene has had hard luck as an athlete. She should have been one of a trio of four year veterans but as a sophomore she was unable to play and again this year she had natural ability and possessed the rare qual- ity of calmness under all circumstances.

A f v,.l ' h JENNIE PHILLIPART-Center This is Jennie's first year at Victory but she has made a name for herself. She took Alene's place at center and was both speedy and accurate. She played the floor well and pass work was her specialty. She seemed to lack confidence at first but with Mary's help she soon overcame this. EVELYN OGDEN-Guard Evelyn has earned her letter this year although not participating in all the games. Early in the season she received a strain which kept her from hard work a part of the season. She plays guard and her pass- ing and floor work deserve comment. CATHERINE McCARTNEY Although a senior this is Catherine's first year as a basketball player. It came to her as a complete surprise when she was asked to be measured for a suit. She did not have the opportunity to play in many games but was there when the need came. LOIS DAUGHNEAUX Lois along with Helen occupies the two- fold position of either guard or forward. She is tempermental and usually displays her best playing when the odds are against the team. She seems to have excelled at the guarding position this year. In sev- eral instances she has played like a hurri- cane and has been responsible for the poor showing made by some of the opposite for- wards.

She was able to play at either the guard or forward position which was fortunate for the team. Helen has worked hard this year and has displayed really brilliant playing at crucial moments. At times her speed has brought comment from the side lines. GEORGIA GUMM-Guard Georgia came in from the Junior High School this year. Her good health and ath- letic build marked her as a player from the first. She became an un-derstudy of Ethel's and learned well. When put in important games early in the season she played like a veteran and no one suspected her inex- perience. KATHLEEN HANNAH-Manager Kathleen has been manager of the girls' team for two years and has proven both ca- pable and trust-worthy. Due to an injured foot she was prevented from actively par- ticipating in basketball but if the need arose on a trip she was versatile enough to don a uniform and hold her own against any odds. Due to a pleasing personality, as manager she represented the school in a creditable manager. EIGHTY-NINE via:e11u21Q11viu1vv2 Salted with Brine Rippled with Rhyme v Number twelve, came out of the West, making forty-five per hour and doing her best. Three long eared hunters waited at the station. They were talking briskly of their destination. Their names were John and Ken and Bill, and they were going away to hunt in the hills. Later they sped along behind this big Choo Choo and the distant wildcats trembled and the owls who whooed. For these long eared hunters were fully determined to bring back some of these mountain vermin. They talked and they planned how they would kill a bear and make hair grease out of his fat and a moustache from his hair. Very soon the train whistled and bang, she stopped, the hunters grabbed their guns and off they hopped. Now the night was darker than darkest and darker still, as these three ridge runners climbed over the hill. The road was very hard to see. and Ken stepped where he thought it ought to be. But the road wasn't where he thought it was at, so he slipped and fell on the flat of his back. Ken got up and put his hat on his head and didn't say a word that he should not of said. Now Bill laughed and shouted with glee and slapped his hands upon his knees. But the fun wasn't over by any means yet for Bill slipped and fell and got all wet. Ken said to Bill with a twinkle in his eye, Now old topper, we are in the same fry, and it didn't take a banana peel to make you feel just like I feel. Bill retorted, this must not happen again very soon for I have got mud all over my pantaloonsf' So on they traveled and the walking was punk when Ken suddenly shouted, Pbew. boys, I smell a skunk. They could not only smell him but Mr. Skunk was in sight, he was plain to be seen in his coat of black and white. Bill stepped toward him and made a false motion and believe me or not there was a lot of commotion. For Mr. Skunk filled the air with perfume, and the long legged hunters were far distant soon. Now they trudged in the mud just half of the night, when far in the distance they saw a dim light. Then John said to Ken, Now, that's where we stay and it won't be long now until we hit the hay. Bill thought a rose bush wasn't in the right place, so he walked right through it and scratched up his face. In a very short time they were in a farmer's home and a few spoken words and all were well known. The hunters were tired and they went to their room but they didn't all go to sleep very soon. For Ken snored so loud he couldn't sleep. And Bill shivered, and shook and chattered his teeth. But ere very long they were in deep dreams and John had visions that ain't like they seem. For rabbits had noses like elephants' trunks and all other animals malodorous as skunks. Along some time in the middle of the night, farmer jay came in carrying a light and in a husky voice he shouted loud, Get up, Get up you lazy crowd. It is just two hours until daybreak and you want plenty of time to eat buckwheat cakes ! Ken woke up on the end of a snore and kicked Bill out in the middle of the floor. The room was cold and the air was brisk and Bill pulled on his clothes by shivers and twists. He said, This is the real test of a man, and more than that I will be the first to the old wash pan! Now the real test hadn't taken place for Bill was thinking of wash- ing his face. Now he scratched his head and looked just twice for the old wash pan was covered with ice. But he shook his shoulders and pinned back his ears and of a gamer fellow you will never hear. For he soused in his head and with one big snort, blew water and ice all over the porch. Soon the thundering herd NINETY li0i'li1l10i1i0llli01fP11ll1'i 1ID11lill10i1 101011 'ivilhivilillhlvviv IS Q I ' VICTORY-1927 rushed for the table and more miraculous things happened than in Aesop's Fables. For we are all living to testify that the stacks of buckwheat cakes were two feet high. They were hot and fluffy and all baked brown. In fact, the kind you will never eat in town. Now Bill practiced until he ate seven and when he stopped he had surrounded eleven. Ken accounted for several more and John increased in weight until he swayed the floor. They attached to the ceiling a pulley wire cable and raised john up and away from the table. Soon they shouldered their guns and were off on the hunt, and John in his misery could only groan and grunt. The rabbits chased around singing the song: Run for your life here comes Kenneth Mittong. The Pheasants would rise in a thundering flurry, the guns would crack and they would fly away in a great hurry. Bill scratched his head and with a puzzled look said, why I can't kill these birds I cannot figgerf' john then advised him to pull harder on the trigger. Now in this country there are no bridges, and you slide down steep hills and crawl up the ridges. But listen and read and be very still and we will tell you all about this fellow Bill. The hills were so steep that Bill carried a rope and lassoed the trees as he slid down the slope. He knew that icy water would cause him to shiver, so he did this clever trick to keep out of the river. But once he slipped and his feet spread wide his trousers ripped and exposed his hide. VVe are told about Adam that clothes he had none, but Bill was more fortunate he still had some Ken said, Bill, I know you are more than sixteen, which accounts for you being long, rangy, and lean. But as Bill Shakespeare would have me exclaim, It surely takes a lot of clothes to cover your frame. VVell Bill was troubled and very much vexed. Not only this he was much perplexed. The sun was high and we knew it was noon and we talked about going to the house very soon. Now Bill solved his problem about getting into the house. He just walked sideways and was still as a mouse. . When evening had come Ken had shot all day long, but the only thing he had disturbed was the suowbird's song. Ken wiggled his ears and this is what he said, I shot so many times something should have fell dead. But I guess these birds have been shot at before because they shake their wings and beckon for more. But gasoline and license plates they had none, and what puzzles me is where all their speed comes from. But these animals do not know science at all and before very long I will have a pelt tacked on the wall. I am going out now to set a steel trap, and I will catch something tonight while I am taking a nap. The very next morning before he was fully awake Ken arose and surrounded nine buckwheat cakes. He wiggled one ear and set out for his trap, and sure enough an oppossum had been a poor sap. His tail was caught between two jaws of steel and he was shrieking disapproval by loud growls and squeals. Now Ken slipped up to it like old Chief Sitting Bull, carefully sighted over the gun barrel and gave the trigger a hard pull. Now in the world of science marvels happen every day and when you hear what happened I know what you will say that Ken, the man of science should be praised by each decree, for he shot off that oppossum's tail and let him go Scott free. if NINETY-ONE fi :az 'fl 'lf VICTORY-1927 Across the Valley s Tad sat by the high iron gate that gave entrance to Sunset Hill Grphanage and looked down across the broad fields to the other end of the valley, where he could just see the tall church spires and the curling wisps of smoke of the bustling little city of Springfield. How he wished he could be there and walk down the wide streets and gaze up at the tall buildings. How he longed to sit and watch the many, many people go by and see them smile and nod to him. As long as he could remember, he sat there by the gate, far back, with his crutch by his side, his lame foot resting on the root of the old stump, and his gaze roaming over the valley below. Sometimes he made up stories about the people who lived down there, but he spent a great deal of his time wondering about his parents. At these times he took out the locket which held his mother's picture and upon which his initials T. A. D. were engraved. When Miss Bell had found this on his neck years ago they had called him just Tad. Today as he looked at her picture the longing for the mother he had never known grew more poignant than ever before. What a sweet face she had. Was she down there wondering where her little boy was F But what is that? Music! It must be Peitro and Yocko! Tad clutched fran- tically for his crutchg hobbling along closer to the gate he pressed his little nose through the bars and strained his eyes for the first sight of Peitro's bright red and yellow jacket when he should top the crest of the hill. The gleeful little Italian ditty sounded nearer and nearer. Soon Peitro appeared dressed as usual in his bright coat and cap and his big gold earrings. On the grind organ, strapped over Peitro's shoulder, stood Yocko, the monkey, also dressed in a bright colored suit and gold earirngs, swaying to the music and tinkling the coins in the little tin cup. Hello, keed, called Peitro, I coma back to see-a you la'k I tella you, eh ? Hello, Peitro. Hello Yocko. Wait till I call the other kids. Peitro, take a drink at the well and give Yocko one too. As Tad welcomed his vagabond guests he limped hurriedly off to tell the other children that Peitro was there. They all came hopping and skipping and clamoring for Peitro to play and for Yocko to dance. After he had entertained them for some time Peitro rose and taking Yocko's chain said: Well it be supper time in two hour. We gotta go Springfield tonight, eh Yocko? Coma on! Coma on! Goobye, keeds. I see you nex' time I coma dis way. And he was off down the hill, singing a merry gypsy song. After Peitro had gone, Tad thought a long time. Why couldn't he satisfy his heart's desire and follow Peitro into the city? Perhaps he could even find his mother! As the thought took root in his mind more firmly Tad resolved to try his scheme. He planned until dinner time and after going to bed could hardly sleep for the thought of it. . When he awoke the great clock in the hall was striking four, so he rose and stealthily began to dress. He worked quietly in order not to awaken the other children. At last he gained the hall, then the front door and finally the road out- side the gate. After walking for a long time he sat down to rest. The way was much longer than it had seemed from the top of the hill. He got up and started to hobble on again. Then he was hailed by a jovial looking farmer who stopped and looked down from his seat on the high wagon. NINETY-TWO .1o1n:uQ If 1 ', VICTORY-1927 1 Hey, little feller, goin' to town? D'ye want a lift? Oh, thank you, sir, said Tad. It is a long way to walk. The farmer helped Tad up and drove on. VVhen they reached the town Tad got down, thanked the farmer and got up courage to ask him if he knew where he could find Peitro. W'y, little feller, I ain't never heard of nobody by thet name, but mebbe if you ask somebody else they could tell ye, and saying good-bye he departed. Tad limped up and down the streets and asked several people, but nobody seemed to know Peitro. Tad thought he had never seen so many streets and they were so hard to walk on. The buildings were tall and forbidding and people didn't smile and nod as he had expected. The day was dark and gloomy, and the wind held the chill of late autumn. Tad began to feel a terrible gnawing in the pit of his stomachg late in the afternoon he dropped from sheer exhaustion on the steps of a big stone house. He was tired and his eyes would not stay open. The next thing he knew he was being awakened by the sweetest voice he had ever heard. He looked up into the face of a beautiful young girl of about seven- teen. You poor little dear. Sit right here and get warm, she said and then called. Mother! Mother, please come here. Here is a poor little boy on our doorstep, he is cold and hungry. I A sweet gray-haired lady, to whom Tad was irresistibly drawn, came bustling in. You poor child, she said, Y ou might have frozen out there. It is so cold tonight. Where did you come from ? She set his chair in front of the fire and then she went to get him some warm broth. While she was gone he told the lovely girl his pitiful little story and showed her the locket and the picture of his mother. She gave the picture a passing glance and then looked closer. Then running to a desk near by, she drew out a packet of photographs. She scattered them over the desk top, picking out one. compared it with the one in the locket. With a cry of delight she ran over and knelt beside Tad and showed him the two pictures. They were identical! Oh, Mother! she cried. Come here! Come here! Eagerly hugging Tad she exclaimed, And you are my little brother l I As she and her mother laughed and cried with joy they told Tad how he had been lost during a fireg that his name was not Tad but Thomas Allen Dalton.

VICTORY-1927 I I The Pledge of the Pins NAA,-vv-vvv-V-vxAA.fvvvvN Madam Red Cross Button unpinned herself from the lapel of a heavy dark overcoat which was hanging with several others on the coat rack in the outer room of the city managers office. She hopped over -and sat up on the table and sighed, Oh. dear! I am so glad to be unpinned for a while. It's nice to be worn to show that one's owner is a Red Cross member and all that but one gets so tired. I'd like to lose myself right down behind this table and rest and rest until someone finds me next cleaning day. - May I sit beside you, please P shyly inquired .a little Blue Triangle pin. I heard what you said and thought I might rest myself here and perhaps cheer you up a little. I know how you feel but you musn't think of hiding now because next week is Welfare Week and they need all of us to do our bit. Ah, ladies, may we have the pleasure of joining you? asked a pleasant voice. Turning, the badges beheld two young gallants, the first being the bronze medal representing the Boy Scouts and the other the polished gold and black K. S. P. pin. Surely you may, answered Madam Red Cross and Miss Y. VV. C. A. simul- taneously. You see, we thought we might get a, little rest today while our owners are having the Conference with Mr. Otis. VVe are surely going to be busy next week when the charity drive is on. Yes,' but I think we all appreciate the wealth of joy and comfort that the drive will bring to many of the poor and--hark! What was that ? Won't some one please help me ? a small voice pled. I can't get unfasten- ed. Looking up the group saw. on a dark blue coat the small blue and white badge standing for the Community Nursing Service. As the gentlemen made a move to help her the little blue and red buttonhold flag of the Salvation Army unpinned herself and went to her aid. VVon't you join our circle, friends F asked the Boy Scout medal. We were just talking over next week's drive. Why I do believe all the members of the Community Chest are here. Let me see-Red Cross, Y. W. C. A., Community Nursing Service, Kappa Sigma Pi, Salvation Army, and Boy Scouts. Yes-yes-- all here! Now we must do some real work next week. VVe have all done wonder- ful things just by ourselves for people. Perhaps you remember the Factory fire- Yes and the Ohio flood- interrupted Madam Red Cross Button. And the girl who ran away from home and was helped by the Y. VV., and the boy who was 'broke' and out of luck and whom the K. S. P. started on a new and brighter path, chimed in the K. S. P. pin. And remember the family with the fever that the C. N. S. took care of and the destitute foreign family whose father was dead and whom we cared for all last winter. cried the Salvation Army flag. NINETY-FOUR. VICTORY-1927 ! Yes, we have all done a great deal, and united we shall do more. Let us make a pledge to stick by our cause of goodness and kindness until there is no further need of us. We pledge! they answered in a chorus. V Sh-h-h-h, I think I hear Mr. Otis bidding the committee good-bye, whisper- ed Madam Red Cross Button. We must all scamper. But all remember the pledge and may the Community Chest win by it ! -SARAH HILL, 'Z8. 0 , Q 'till dit' el Q 1 N 0 NXNETY-FIVE J I --VICTORY-1927 Revenge WVAAAAANAAAAAAAA A certain class of boys had just invented, after much cooperation and hard work, a small aeroplane which they named Baby Zip. Tim, a member of the class had bragged of himself before a newspaper reporter--claimed that he alone built Baby Zip -without knowing to whom he was talking. The next day the story had come out in the special Saturday News. Immediately the other boys of the class called a meeting and John. their President, presented the matter as follows: We don't want publicity for the things we happen to accomplish as a class, but one fellow should not attempt to take all the glory. So it was agreed that Tim should be made t realize his mis- take at their first chance. The opportunity occurred the following afternoon. The boys, with Tim, had accompanied Paul to his father's ranch. two miles out of town. As they reached the ranch they noticed that a new well was being dug and that Paul's father. with much difficulty, was throwing shovelfuls of dirt clear of the ten foot wall. Tim was very strong so he offered to relieve the old man. When he was at work and the ladder was raised again from the well, Paul told his father that he might go home as they would put away the tools at quitting time. The boys then ,followed him into town, leaving Tim in the prison. They were all satisfied that Tim, who was in his shirt sleeves, would have to work harder than he had expected, in order to keep warm that night. It was about midnight when a loud noise of some kind brought Paul suddenly out of slumber. He had been dreaming that the well had caved in. And now, seeing a thunder storm, he grew very frightened. He quickly put on his clothes and ran through the storm the entire distance to the ranch. As he came near the well he called Tim's name but there was no answer. When he approached the well his heart nearly stopped. It had caved in! Paul knew he could do nothing to save his classmate so he ran to the nearest farm house and called John. It's about Tim, he shouted. 'Tm out here at Dad's ranch. I came out here for Tim. Tell me what you got to say, and I'll drop it in his ears between snores, John answered in a sleepy voice. Then after Paul learned that John had got two of the boys and had driven out after Tim when the thunder storm had started, he experienced the happiest moments of his life. -HALLEY COTTRILL, '28 . ,.

A-,X I F' vrcronv-1921 One Minute to Play tA,vx,vVcAAA,-CAA, The high school football team had come to the last game of a so far success- ful season at Pascell High. In' this season they won six games, lost two and tied one. This last game was to be played against Elson High School, an old rival. This was the hardest game of the season, despite impressive victories over such teams as Elwood, Milford and others, when they were rated as the underdog. Coach Ed Carlton had been drilling the boys on the necessity of not getting excited at critical stages of the game. Williams, the big two-hundred pound full- back, was at his best as were also the half-backs, johnson and Andrews. All the players were eager for the day of the game to come. Many fans from Pascell were going to Ashton with the team. Finally ,the day of the game dawned. It was an ideal day. At one o'clock the Pascell team, accompanied by two hundred fans left for Elson. At three o'clock, the team trotted out upon the Elson field. Fifteen minutes later the Elson team appeared. Practice was stopped by the referee's whistle. Captain Williams of Pascell won the toss and elected to kick. The Elson team carried the ball ,from kickoff by a series of plays to the twenty yard line where it was lost on a fumble. Pascell kicked to Elson on the fifty. Elson was held for downs and Pascell took the ball. On a pass from VVilliams to Andrews, the ball was carried to the thirty yard line. On the next play, an Elson player in- tercepted a pass and ran through all the Pascell team to the thirty yard line. On the next play an Elson pass went for a touchdown. The trial for goal was missed and the quarter ended six to nothing for Elson. The Elson stands were wild with joy. The Pascell stands were silent. The second and third quarters were scoreless. The first of the fourth was uneventful also. The Pascell stands were yelling for a touchdown. The ball kept changing hands for all but five minutes of the last quarter. At last the ball fell into the hands of the Pascell team who determined to make a touchdown. The ball was carried to the ten where on the fourth down it was given to Williams. With supreme effort he went through center and across the last line. The ball was put in play. It was centered and placed. VVilliams kickedythe ball hit the bar and bounced over. T he Pascell fans yelled their heads off as Elson had done a few minutes before. The Pascell team had won with just one minute to play.

FI f 0 1 VICTORY-1 szr Neighbors cAA.A.,vvN,vvvvvv Bob Henderson and his sister jane, aged twenty-one and eighteen, moved from the city to their small farm far out in the country. Bob was not very strong, which was one of the reasons for the change. They thought the fresh air and exercise might make him better. After living on the farm for a year, they were rejoicing over an excellent crop of corn. Bob said, I am going to begin husking corn tomorrow. He was going to repair the granary that afternoon as it was in bad shape. They had planned all year that if the corn crop was good they would build some new buildings and improve the farm that fall. ' jane's flock of Rhode Island Red chickens was a great help. She made a new coop for some late ones that afternoon, while Bob worked on the granary. At five o'clock Jane went into the house to get supper, for Bob would be in at six. As she was putting a pan of potatoes into the oven to bake, her attention was arrested by a peculiar sound of suffering outside. It sounded like a groang she flew to the door. Oh, Bob, what have you done ? Bob lay on the porch utterly exhausted. A rotten beam broke with me on it, said Bob, and I have at least one broken leg. . He had managed to crawl to the porch and with Jane's aid got into the house. Jane telephoned a physician, after which she made him eat something, trying as best she could to quiet his agitation. The physician said it was a clean break and would ,heal without any danger, except that Bob would be laid up for a while, which would mean work for jane. She had a hard time of it, for Bob fretted about the expense of the accident. She smiled though she had not been able to get any assistance. To add to her trials her late chickens developed a strange malady which caused their heads to droop, and they refused to eat. She thought of going to Mrs. Cole's, a mile away for aid with her chickens, the next afternoon she started, telling Bob that she would be gone only an hour. Bob had not been very neighborly with the farmers so he made a scornful gesture and told her not to go to any of the neighbors for aid. You don't catch me asking any of the farmers how tofarm for I know as much about it as they do, he told her. The farmers had tried to get Bob to join the Grange, a farmers' club, but he would not do it. Jane now understood why the women had a cool attitude toward her, but she went to ask Mrs. Cole's advice about her chickens. She took a new embroidery pattern which Mrs. Cole was glad to get as she wanted to embroider many Christmas presents. Mrs. Cole gave jane the advice she asked for, and told her that if she found any one wanting work she would send them over. She promised Jane she would be over the next day to see her chickens.

She went on with her house Work while Bob complained about her having so much to do. About eight o'clock Jane glanced o11t of the window and saw many farm wagons turning in at their gate. She recognized the most of them as their neigh- bors. Jane flew down the walk to meet Mrs. Cole, who told her the men were going to put the corn in the crib before they quit. jane did not feel that they deserved the kindness of their neighbors in this time of stress. At noon Mrs. Cole and Jane took a kettle of coffee, freshly baked cookies, and a basket of apples to the men in the field to add to their lunch. When the work was finished the men went into the house to see Bob while Mrs. Cole went to see the chickens. Bob told them he would join the Grange Club as soon as he was able to walk. VVe'll take both you and Jane into our club, exclaimed the men. After the farmers departed, Bob and jane, in discussing the affair decided that nobody could have better neighbors. -MACEL RICHARDS, '28. ik NINETY-NINE 1lvil1l110i1vi1:i-1vv10le11viw115nil1lfi1rlsilvil11lnbiai1 Fox News .fvsfvvxfvvvxfvxfv MIGHTIEST OF ALL Copyrighted 1927 Paris, France-A great pianist was playing a famous composition in one of the fashionable cafes.

But this one thing I can't forget My high school days. I love them yet. When the last look is taken Of this school that is forsaken, By my class I loved so well There will be things your walls will tell. Your walls are made of brick and clay, They have stood for many a day, And the front door was like heaven To the class of twenty-seven. Graduation time is here The saddest time of my school year, I wish to say before I depart This school was nearest to my heart Orange and black maybe, I'll never hear For many and many a year, But when I grow old and come back I will shout, Hurrah for Orange and Black.
