The brief happiness of some half-forgotten party recurs to us, bringin g a smile. Then there flashes up the Vivid picture of. some trivial bitterness that has cast its shadow over us. Love and enmity, happiness and sorrow, gayety and pathos, all are commingled in the complex record. We have attempted to make this a book of pictorial record. We have also attempted to make it pithy, yet dignified a in keeping With the ideals of education. Therefore, we submit for your approval the 1922 Kickapoogian. 1922 KICKAPOOGIAN Gjn CAFFreciation As an expression of respect and indebtedness to the Class that instituted the tt Kickapoogianh in our school, we, the ttKickapoogianh Staff of nineteen hundred and twenty-two, in behalf of the student body, dedicate this, the third volume, to the Class of Nineteen Twenty. 7. ;: xAzCzi'sA-zmza .1,qu Crt' ' tdi-V' ' t 1922 KICKAPOOGIAN V.

Now you have heard our histurizln's scmll, And it is time to call the roll: Viva and Violet. our Mathews twins, Clifford Simmons our school yell begins Rena Clark on her studies is bent, Vera Smith is the class president. Ethel Marcus, 3 right jolly girl, Miriam Dake with her hair in a Cln'll Mervin, Our world famed novelist. Margaret, whose jokes will rank with the best, Full of fun is Ada Smith. Always seen with her chum, Viola Clift. Beth and Joy we are proud to own. Lloyd Drake is in a class of his uwn. And there's 011C other to join us here. Viola Bliss who entered last year. lYe'i-e proud of our high school, proud of 0111' class, llruud of our present, proud of mm past. When we leave this school you'll hear us cry- We got our start in the Viola High ! Butthisone Ihingfreshmen,ltisourdntyto tell Eler you get into trouble, remember it well, We knowi' is true,we havethoroughly proved it, That pep is all right ifyou know howto nseit, 1922 KICKAPOOGIAN SOPHOMORE CLASS As Frosh we numbered twenty-seven, The best class. we thought. under Heaven; Now that we have been lessened to twenty We still think that is a plenty. The Sophomore Class of ?Ze Into our heads the knowledge Hew: Twelve brilliant girls upon our roll And eight lively boys to reach the goal. Many kinds in our class you'll find: Some brilliant, some dull, some brutal, some kind; There are the tall and short, the lanky and fat, But all always have their lessons down pat. Glen Fisher is a name you've oft heard before In basketball he helps to roll up the score; He, as our president. and Bernard as vice. And Hazel as scribe, our record keeps nice. In rain or shine, in bad or fair weather Stella and Beulah are always together; Martin? Oh, yes! We have Bernard, you know, And then there is Paul who is everyoneis beau. There are Ethelyn, Norman and Ddris Smith. Those three are easy. to get along with; o Thelma Neefe always looks just so. Letha sits near the front, in the Sophomore row. Virgil is tall and has a deep voice. Walter Lane is small, but of him we are - choice; Violet Hurless as a speaker can't be beat Carroll, of course, has picked a back seat. tiOn With the music! for Ellen is here. Gerald in basketball is ne'er in the rear, Raymond is smart, but he is small, you bet. Beatrice Carruthers completes the set. The Sophomore girls of D. S.

Just to hear all about the Freshmen so gay: 50 I won't keep you 011 hooks any more this way, But I will tell you all about us right away. Letha McCumber is very tall. Clarence 3erry has forsaken us all; Grant Oberholtzer who sighs and is doleful. Has eyes that are very expressive and soulful. Charles Simmons. the boy with oratorical mien Youlll really not find so terribly green. Orvus Myers is not very often here, Forest Ritchie's return has given us cheer. Ronald Van XVinter is an athlete famed, If you called him 21 Greek God, you couldn't be blamed: There's Yerda Deztver, chuck full of vim. Goes to her work as though she would win. Mary Sommars is awfully awkward and tall. What a terrible commotion if down stairs, she'd fall! Winifred Dake, the teacher's great sorrow, Always promises to be good-maybe 10111012 row. Guy Van Winter comes from Kickapoo town. In front of the girls he acts like a clown. Lennie Drake, slow but steady. Never speaks till he's sure he's ready. About geiieral science. Opal Pellet doesn't care, But in domestic science shes a regular bear! Paul and Byron Deaver are cousms, you know. That's why each 51ts in the opposlte row. Earl Buchanan is the smallest of the bunch: I believe he'd grow if he'd bring more lunch. Duane and Eldretl sit near each other, If they weren't so good, they'd be lots of bother. Ruth and Leona stay long after school Getting their lessons, so you cant call them fool Lelah and Jessie are very good cooks, That's the reason they are always collecting cook books. Helen Shuckhart's hair is the Freshman pride. We'd feel very bad if we found it was dyed. Amy. Mildred and Ethel all front seats took. And the ranks of the 111ischievous ones for- sook. Eddie Norris, whose thoughts seem to be 011 the moon, Once brought his dinner pail into the main room. Earl Hankins wears a bright green sweater: He couldn't advertise his freshness better. XYilmais large,but would like to grow thinner- XVC think she will, living on sehool-cooked dinner. Floyd and Elwood are the worst of the bunch: I guess 1111 quit; I have a hunch! 1922 KICKAPOOGIAN 23 SCHOOL CHRONICLE 1921 March 17-St. Patrickts Day. Ye Gods, the decorations!

The players on the First team were, Carl Van Winter at center. Ted Lepley at right guard, Earl Sanford at left guard, Glen Fisher at right forward, Gerald Anderson at left forward, and Charles Nye and Bernard Ammerman us substitutes. On several occasions August Grim, Cleo Smith and Ronald Vaii Winters also acted as sub- stitutes. An ocean of credit should be given Mr. Eckley for his untiring efforts in coaching us throughout the season. A good spirit among the team. with the backing we received from the school and the home routers, made a successful season. At the beginning of the season the team wa's new, some of the players hav- ing never played before, but by hard work, good spirit, and the right kind of coaching we were able to achieve suc- cess. The games of the season were played in the following order: Viola. 19-Readst0wn, 8 Viola, 39-501mm 9 Viola, 339Rcadstown 11 Viola, ZOeViroqua 21 Viola, SeViroqua 30 Viola, ZZeSeneca, 19 Viola, SS-Readstown 7 Viola, 3914a Farge 30 Viola, lO---La Farge 10 Viola, IZeReadstown 13 Viola, 12---Soldiers Grove, 54 Viola, ZIeSOIdiers Grove 19 Total scoreeViola, 23090ppononts 229 THE TEAM-From Left to Right.

Many of the players were on the team last year so we knew early in the season that there would de- velop an excellent team. Miriam Dake tCaptaim at left for ward was the star of the team when it came to basket shooting. Winnie, at right forward, was a sure shot, and considering that this was her first year, her success was phenomenal. As guards we had the famous Mathews twins. Violet was one of the fastest girls on the squad, quick as a cat, and with that power of llstick-to-it-iveness that wins. Viva, the other guard was a steady, hard worker, who never gave up, and never learned the meaning of the words uyoulre beat? Lucky, indeed, was the opposing forward who got a basket ! , .Gail. our center, possesses good height and ability to make baskets. She is the only member of the squad that leaves this year, and the team will be seriously handicapped without her. The season opened with a game with Readstown. Our girls had it over 011 their opponents at fast playing, and in the end Readstown decided that they would go home and learn to play basket- ball. The next time that we met Reads- town the result was similar-they were. overwhelmingly defeated. Next came La Farge. The hall being much smaller and'narrower than the girls were accustomed to, baffled tlpm, I and they came home with the little end of a big score. They were not beaten until the whistle had blown at the end of the last half. On Friday, one week later, February 17, to be exact, the La Farge team came down here conhdent that they would go back home with the majority of the points, but alas! A big disappointment was awaiting them. They were thor- oughly whipped. They found out what a good team could do to them on a good floor. The next week Readstown came up with the hopes that they could redeem themselves. Although they did play much better, their case was hopeless. They found that not yet could they call themselves a basketball team. One week later. they were again defeated on their own Hoor. That closed the series with Readstown. On March the tenth both teams tboys and girlsy journeyed to Soldiers Grove. Their hall was much on the same order as that of La Farge, long and narrow. It confused the girls and they were de- feated, though not badly. It was clearly shown that Soldiers Grove did not have the team work, or the skill of the home girls, and it was resolved that the score would be reversed the next time that the two teams met. And so it was. On the twenty-fourth they came to Viola and defeat was their doom. It was the last game for Viola and how they did play. The game was exciting and fast, both teams equally determined to win. Lady Luck and all her children were out to help Viola. The team work displayed was excellent, the basket shooting good, and the sportsmanship displayed unpar- alleled. It was a well-earned victory. Much of the credit for the excellent work of the team was due to the excel- lent coaching of Miss Dake. L May all future years be as successful! ,32 1922 KICKAPOOGIAN Chas. Nye. p. Carl Van Winter, c. Earle Sanford.1b Anderson, rf. Fisher. cf. Buxton BASEBALL, 1921 During the fall of 1921 we played six Bailey games. Luck and our boys seemed on the outs. Luck always got the best of them but, nevertheless, they were game. We cannotfhowever hard we work our imagination. conceive of such an aggregation as they. Doc, who was born in Africa, has not yet forgotten his na- tive wildness which he exhibits while 011 the mound. He is accredited with thirty- two 505 which were caused by the lucky horseshoe. Carl, we find, resembles lRags, tCas- persons dogl, mighty nice to run around, but not much good at catching anything but Hail Columbia and colds All his work, however, was quick and brainy, and throughout the season was the spirit of the team. At hrst Shrimp tEarlel could stop anything but a ball or a runner. Of course these two were not very essential, but he was very good at batting this eyesl. Though small, heis all thereW Ted could hold second down better than any one we ever saw. The fact is, he sat on it all of the time.

Van Fleet Grim him the team would have been decidedly weakened. Bernard Braithwaite, as shortstop, was invaluable as water boy. He be lieved in fair play and never got the ball while an opponent was running. The only difference between Bernard and Babe Ruth at bat is that Babe hits them and Bernard doeslnt. He hopes to overcome his weakness before the next season starts. Bernard Ammerman is known as Mister. He earned this title on the diamond. He reached for the hall and missed her! Gerald and Glen and Ronny did cred- itable work in the outfield. Many put- outs were due to f1elded flies. Lastly, much credit is due Coach Eck- ley. No man could have expected a sue- eessful team from the material at hand. Yet he conveyed the hghting spirit to the men and kept them lighting until the last runner was out. If the total scores were compared, our opponents would have the larger number, but if the spirit of ltgood-loser-shiph was to be compared no total could equal that of the Viola Highls nine. 1922 KICKAPOOGIAN 33 KICKAPOO VALLEY TRACK AND FIELD MEET AND DECLAMATORY-ORATORICAL CONTEST GAYS MILLS, WIS., APRIL 29,1921. Our school was represented by Down- er, Lepley, B. Smith, Sanford, Fisher, Ammerman and Hurless. They proved themselves far superior to any of their opponents. The hrst event was the hundred yard dasl. New and unheard of rules were introduced, the result of the same being that the first man, Downer, was thrown out Of hrst place by no fault of his. The results were: hrst. Ray, of VVauzeka; second, Hurless, of Viola; third, Sol- diers Grove. Event two was the discus throw, won by La Farge, 101 feet 10 inches. Second honors also went to La Farge, and third place to Soldiers Grove. The two hundred twenty yard dash was next. This was copped off by Downer in twenty-fwe seconds. Hurless came in second and Yeomen of La Farge came in one-ilifth of a second later. This was the closest race of the day. all the men fmishing within two- Hfths of a second. The next event was the shot put. This was won by a very narrow margin by W'auzeka, their man putting it but slightly over thirty-nine feet. Lepley came a close second with thirty- eight feet, eight inches. Fries of La Farge was third. Next came the strenuous half-mile run with twelve entries. Hurless won -. hrst in two minutes and twenty-three seconds. Gays Mills was second, two minutes and thirty seconds. No one hn- ished third. The pace set-by the win- ners proved too fast and the others fell out. This was a very excitingr race and was run in very good time, when you consider that Hurless fell when but twenty yards from the finish, then got up and won the run by ten feet. The pole vault was next, and was won by Soldiers Grove; Viola and Seneca tied for second. Tedls pole broke when he was about ten feet from the ground. Luckily he sustained no injuries, for this has proven fatal many times. The four hundred and forty yard dash was then run. Downer took first honors, Hurless was second, and a VVauzeka man third. The mile was then won by La Farge; Soldiers Grove men taking second and third. Next came the exciting relay race. Our menls positions were as follows: Virgil Hurless, first; Buford Smith, second; Ted Lepley, third, and Jack Downer to finish. In the first lap Hur- less established a lead of about thirty yards. This advantage was kept by the next two men, and finally Downer put on the finishing touches in one of the fastest relay races on the Kickapoo Val- ley records. The time established was 4:14, which was remarkable considering the condition of the track. In the next three events we did not participate, for the meet was already ours. Viola having thirty-six points against the nearest opponentls twenty- six. Individual honors went to Yeoman, of La Farge. Deacon Smith promptly decorated the trophy cup with the blue and red ribbons of the Viola High. Declamatory and Oratorical Contests Viola was represented by Maud Frye and Carl Van Winter and we are proud of the able manner in which they pre- sented their selections. The decision of the judges gave hrvst place in both con- tests to Soldiers Grove. One of the judges gave Viola both f1rsts, but the other judges had them differently placed, thereby preventing them from getting a place. 34 1922 KICKAPOOGIAN HE Athletic Association, in behalf of the Whole school, Wishes to take this opportu- nity to thank those WhO gave their loyal sup- port to the various teams of the Viola High School, and especially those Who gave their time to referee and umpire the contests. Lester Griffin, Chas. Foulkes and Jack Love- less deserve special recognition. Lastly, Mr. Harris M. Eckley, the coach, perhaps more than anyone else, deserves hearty recognition and thanks for his strenuous efforts to make the team Victorious. We thank you!

Many of the boys had had no musical instruc- tion, so that the work has been very elementary. A part of the time has been devoted to technique and a part to voice training. We were fortunate, however, to have a few who were able to take the lead and whose voices were well placed, forming, as it were, a frame about which to build. The boys have shown a deep interest in the work and many of them have made very rapid progress. Only very simple selections have been used and there has been no attempt to put on a public program. The club has furnished music for the literary pro- grams on several occasions, and the re- sults have been very gratifying. Then, too, the boys have met with the girls, cinb and taken their parts very well. We realized at the beginning of the year that nothing great would come from such an organization the first year, but we feel that the greatest good has come to the boys themselves. Neverthe- less, a beginning has been effected and a nucleus formed for the work of suc- ceeding years. Next year the boys who have made a start this year, will furnish the basis for a larger and better organi- zation. Meetings have been held each Thurs- day evening from seven until eight. Credit is given for the work in lieu of the outside reading usually required in conjunction with the English classes. So the boys feel that they are making good use of the time. A good glee club is a valuable asset to any school and community, so we hope that the good work may be carried on in future years and grow with the school. Mr. Costerisan has had charge of the club. The following boys have taken part in the work: TENOR Charles Nye Everett Buxton Glen Fisher Clifford SimmOns Walter Lane Bernard Martin BASS August Grim Theron Hoke Ronald Van Winter Earl Sanford Paul Martin Eldred Clift GIRLSl GLEE CLUB During the past few years, the Viola High School has had a girls, glee club, which met at certain times to prepare for some special occasion, but this year a club has been organized as a perma- nent organization. Those interested felt that more good could be accomplished and more training given, if a. dehnite time were set for rehearsals and a pre- scribed plan followed. Meetings are held every Wednesday afternoon from four to five. Mr. COSterisan has directed the work and Miss Bechtolt has very kindly accompanied us. A part of each hour is given to the study of theory and the rest of the period, to voice training. The girls have taken hold of the work in a very earnest manner and the progress noted has been very gratifying. Some of the girls, hav- ing sung in the club in previous years, have been able to take the lead; and at the same time, material has been de- veloped for future organizations. The work has been optional and no one has been forced 0r urged to become a member. It was decided, nevertheless, to give credit in English for member- ship in the club, followed by faithfulness in attendance at rehearsals and on pro- grams. So the girls feel that something definite is being accomplished. The club has furnishedt music on several occasions at school and for the i public. Early in the year they sang at a Harvest Home Festival and at a W. C. T. U. program at the Congregational church. During the winter they ap- peared at the Farmers Institute and their work was spoken of very highly by the conductors. We are now working on selections for commencement.

The 'President with representatives from the different Classes in his group decides upon the program for group A. The Vice Presi- dent does the same with group B. They give their programs every other week, alternating with the Class stunts. The officers for the hrst semester were: Carl Van Winter, Pres. Beth Carpenter, Sedy Lillian Clark, Vice Pres. Vera Smith, Treas. New ofhcers were elected for the last semester as follows: Glen Fisher, Pres. Vera Smith, Vice Pres. Ethel Marcus, Secty and Treas. Many varied and interesting programs have been given this year and visitors from town have come to witness our pro- grams on several occasions.

CLASS STUNTS Mr. Costerisan suggested the giving of class stunts to alternate with the lit- erary programs on XVednesday of every other week. The plan gives the students practice in appearing on programs and has relieved the monotony of school work. Many interesting stunts have been given. The following are exam- ples of programs that have been pre- sented by the different classes and the faculty. ' During the second week of December it was noticed that the teachers held many consultations and everybody won- dered what the outcome would be. It proved to be a Christmas party. Each one drew a name and purchased a pres- ent for the one whose name he had re- ceived. At seven-thirty on XYednesday evening we were at the door with mis- cellaneous packages, which were depos- ited in a basket. Games, charades. con- tests, the distribution of gifts and eats, consisting of popcorn and apples, fol- lowed each other in rapid succession. Mr. Costerisan received the prize pres- ent. The Seniors in their turn fultnlled our expectations, when they presented the following interesting program: Reading, Courting Under Difficulties? by Vila Kintz. Piano duet 7 Elma Kanable, Gail Campbell; Comic readingeuCharles Nye. ,Talk on prohibition-Theron Hoke. For their second stunt the Juniors put on a negro church service. The choir consisted of eight girls, half of whom were dressed as boys. There was a spe- cial number by Violet Mathews and a jig by Viola Clift, accmnpanied by Mer- vin Bailey with a mouth organ. The Sophomores enlivened our spirits by giving a farce, entitled HWaiting; for the Train? They were dressed in out- landish clothes and provoked gales of laughter from their audience. Last, but not least, came the Freshmen with a program in which the boys ex- celled. Reading, ttThe Wrong Train, Eldred Clift. Current Topic-Grant Oberholtzer. Songs-Freshman boys.

Suddenly the hero of our story was enveloped in a great cloud of perfumed flour. Choking and sputtering he made his way to the edge of the cloud. When his eyes were opened and his throat was cleared, he looked around and muttered: ttAw, Gail always gets in front of that fan!n uAs I was about to admit defeat the object was realized! There it was within armls length from my camera lens. I had solved the puzzle! uBut what was my quest? The Holy Grail? The Golden Fleece? The Jewels of Opar? No!

E. , The following were of Har- ris and there must have been at least Efty of them. Ye Gods! The next twenty or thirty were of the Agriculture instructor. Fola lowing them were dozens of him with his fiancee. Then came a sclore or more of scenery along the Mississippi, but they in- variably had H. M, Eckley in the foreground. I became dizzy. The lights swam before my eyes. Still on and on came photos, snapshots, panoramic views, et eetera. I felt faint; things be- came hazy; before my eyes swam a misty ligureha colossal photo- graph of Mr. Eckley. Editorls Note-The doctors worked over the Art Editor for hours. At times it looked as though the shock had been too great. His strong constitution and his great vitality brought him through. He was out seventy- two hours. He now appears per- fectly normal, but occasionally his mind will wander, and then he talks of photos, photos, ph0a tos, but can you blame him? lHas Gail Got Any Knees?

Many things that had been rather hazy to me from our first acquaintance were made clear to me then. I pass the conversation on to you, that you, too, may profit thereby.

Figuratively speaking, yesfl HWhat do you think of the plan to remodel the manual training room so as to provide a loafing place for the boys between Classes? This room would be suitably equipped with pool tables, card tables, poker chips and a cigar stand run at cost by the school. Taking out his ornate cigarette case, he extracted one of the tiny cylinders. With a gesture that embodied conscience of position and supreme ease of manner he poised the cigarette between his hngers for a fraction of a second. He paused as one pauses over a kiss, to take fullest pleasure of the anticipation. The spurt of the match brought his features into a sharp profile for a second to be veiled the next instant by the misty exhalation of the first perfect puff. The smoke mount- ed like incense to the altar of some pagan goddess. ' I am for it whole-heartedly!

EDITORIALS GALOSHES Galoshes are an abomination to the eye. They are a desecration to the feet. Once a lady went to President Lincoln seeking a government job. It was refused her. HWhy Mr, President, someone said, chat woman is highly recom- mended l HIt may he,, replied the Presi- dent, tthut she wore galoshes. Superficial adornment shows weakness of character. Horace. hated the Persians. The French Revolution was caused by un- warranted ostentation. The glory of Solomon was outshone by the flowers of the field. No man can serve two masters. uThis above all-to thyself be true Hair oil, moustache wax, scent, rouge, lipsticks, polished tinger nails and gold front teeth add nothing to human nature. Vanity and insanity are Siamese Twins. Did you ever notice an ancient Greek wearing galoshes? Or :1 Roman? Or an Egyptian? Or any of the early Christians? Simplicity is the keynote to the real. Superfiuity is the con- tusion that leads to destruction. Painting the lily has ever been a non-paying profession. Intrim eately carved walls do not 21 prison make, or hand wrought iron bars a cage. The conclusion is obvious. FUTILE? Life is like a theatre in this respectethat during the perform- ance we hold higher and lower levels.

The birthday party given to and by the guest of honor, was a success, strange to say. The Shamrock was rented for the dual purpose of accommodating the many friends expected, and for the fitting significance of its name, as associated with the good saint's name, whose birthday it also was. The chief drawbacks were the absence of a crank for the victrola, and an insuffleient number of friends to till the hall. Many new and bewildering even- ing gowns were exhibited so far as possible.

THE HOWL FASHION NOTES tBy Ima Gazerl The latest in stocking creation is the heavy wool half-roll. They seem to have a great popularity among the childnen. In their favor it may be said that they attract attention, which is their primary objective. Some may ac- cuse the wearers with undue ostentation. I do not believe it! They cover more of the physical charms than ally other single piece of clothing since the fig leaf was discarded for the skirt. Peroxide and lemon juice sham- poos are being used extensively in this locality. Those who in- dulge are more to be pitied than reprimanded. We have noticed that unless constant application is closely observed some remarkable color combinations are resultan.. Men's costumes have deviated spasmodically from the civilian to the militaristic. This has allso been noticed among those of the opposite sex. They wear 0. D. shirts, open at the neck, and the tails rolled into a small, though conspicuous, roll at the waist. The boys, though none the less conspicuous. have adopted those outhts that are more in keeping with their sex than have the girls. Rumors have it that the girls will soon adorn themselves with knickers. We hope not. Let me quote the following that I overs heard in the hall the other day. spoken by Sam to a group of malcontents: llWhen lovely woman took our collars we grinned. When she ap- propriated our shirts we smiled. When she took our socks we be- gan to take life seriously. But the withering blow remained to be dealt? itFriends and fellow citizens we are now lost. That is, our ward- robe is lost. The man who is now foolish enough to allow his wife to arise first in the morning must go to town in a pillow case and a sheet. We must appear as a Roman Senator.

Asked of Myself, at my own typewriter-TIMy estimation of a good joke is this: It must. lead you to think it is wonderful when its rotten; it must have a better opinion of itself than others have of it.

Dear DoctoraSometimes I find it very difficult to speak. When I do it comes out by jerks. Is this due to a physical or mental dew rangement? -Ed. N. Ans.-Well, we should naturally think that it was a physical ob- struction in your brain, but know- ing you, we think otherwise.
