Now it was in the ninth month of the year 1914- that they entered the Empire of VVaite- hightia, which is ruled over by the good Emperor Gayman. The first kingdom which they entered was in the highest part of the Empire and was ruled by Count Pollock. This country was a beautiful greeng indeed, it was so verdant that the color was reflected upon the Knights and Ladies themselves until they were forced' to bear many insulting remarks which were made by those pilgrims who had been longer in the Empire. Now, when they first entered this land, many of them were lostg even the bravest and wisest of the Knights were often sore puzzled to find their way home. After they had been in theEmpire some five months, the wise Emperor sent a proclamation thruout the land, proclaim- ing that all the pilgrims should be given four tests to determine whether they were worthy to continue their searchg Then for many days was there great preparation and the faces of the pilgrims became white and drawn. After these tests there was much rejoicing among those who had passed but many had fallen the wayside. For five months more the search was continued and -it the end of that time another decree was proclaimed and again was their valor tested. Then a period' of rest was decreed. Now in the 9th month of the year 1915, the band again assembled for the second year of their pilgrimage. They had now proceeded so far in their search that they were allowed to enter the kingdom of the Sophomores, ruled by Count Travis, a man wise in his day and generation. This year the pilgrims made great progress and many felt that they were near to finding the Sacred Parchments, but, alas! VVhen tests were once more set for them, many were unable to perform them. Once again spring came in the land of VVaitehightia and after enduring a second set of tests, Emperor Gayman decreed' another period of rest. ln the year 1916 the same company, sadly depleted in numbers, gathered together under the name of Juniors and lol They were a beautiful company to look upon.- -ln this third year, they entered the kingdom which is ruled by Count lliathias and which is occupied by both the company of Juniors and the company of Seniors. Now in this year in the third month of their search, some boastful, though brave Knights of the country of Scottonia challenged any eleven of the equally valorous Knights of 1Vaitehightia to a combat. The challenge was 52 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Ifffaite High School accepted and upon the Feast of Thanksgiving, the Knights of Waitehightia ad- vanced to the combat. How brave shone the royal colors of purple and gold, how loud were the cheers of the ladies in the seats of the spectators! But fortune did not favor them, and the banner of VVaitehightia went down in defeat. Then did the fair and beautiful damsels of this company reveal their spirit, and those Knights who survived the combat were presented with shields emblazoned with the letter VV. Now it was also in this year that the pilgrims decided that they could make more progress with able leaders. They elected from their number a King, a Queen, a Princess of the Scroll, and a Lord of the Exchequer, it also seemed wise to elect a Keeper of Order. . By this time many of the Knights and Ladies who were searching in the Vale of Latin for their Sacred Parchments, felt that they were near their goal and they gave a great festival, which was pleasing to all the people. Indeed this was a year of many happenings. Some of the band' were lost in climbing the Mount of Physics, but many, through the good deeds of Prince Freddieklag, reached the summit without mishap. It was also in this year that the Librarian Cave was discovered. This cave is guarded by the good fairy Rexia, who gave the pilgrims many wise and helpful directions. llflany of the Knights were hard stricken when they encountered the glances of the most beautiful Princess Jeannette, who is the most beautiful princess in all the land. In the month of many snows, tests were again endured, and then did the Knights of VVaitehightia challenge the Knights of Scottonia to a tournament in basket ball, and-behold! The Knights of VVaitehightia did conquer most glorious- ly. Those Knights then made a fearful and strenuous journey to a large city which lies upon the lakes and there did they win more honor and fame. But it was also in this same year that a great war beset the whole world and with sadness in their hearts, the fair ladies bade many of their bravest Knights Farewell, and sent them into the world to triumph for the cause of democracy and peace. By the springtime, the Pilgrims of 1918 were very weary, and after severe tests had been once more successfully performed, the Emperor decreed another period of rest. In the fall of the year, these Pilgrims gathered together for the fourth year of their pilgrimage. Again leaders were chosen, for now these pilgrims were the oldest in te Empire and were rulers of all others. A new heraldry was chosen, with colors and a motto that every Knight was proud to wear. A new aid was found in Countess llflary Dunlap, who taught them to know all the great poets and scribes. Some, also, she did teach to write such scrolls themselves. The Knights of VVaitehightia were again defeated in combat by the Scottonians upon the gridiron, but not without a great struggle. Later many of the fair damsels and valorous Knights lifted their voices in a song of a Trial by jury, which so pleased the people in the land that in the same year the same company played another act upon the same stage. Also in this year the company renewed their friendship with Count Pollock, who proved a great help in traversing the rocky land of History and Civics. A great sorrow befell the Pilgrims in their fourth year, for twice did the Knights of Scottonia conquer the Knights of YVaitehightia in the Tournament of Basket Ball. After this defeat the band was clothed in mourning and two of their number did cover themselves with sack-cloth and ashes. The Pilgrims then did select a Poet Laureate and a VVriter of Fables, a 53 Nineteen-Eighleen Purple and Gold-Pyaite Higlz School Record Writer and also a Seer to foretell the future of each and every one. Dur- ing this year the Pilgrims published each month a scroll which was filled with wisdom and nonsense. They did also edit -a huge and mighty volume, known among men as the Purple and Gold. At the time of the hanging of Bday baskets, these same Pilgrims clad them- selves in gala attire and promenaded until the hour of ghosts. Later in the spring they journeyed to the sacred Island of Sugar and upon that day did they become as children again. By this time they were nearing the top of the Hill of Learning and the Sacred Parchments were within their reach. Upon a night in June, all the rulers of the- land, all the people of the land, and -all the pilgrims of the land gathered in a great hall together and the Knights and Ladies of 1918 were given the Parchments for which they had so long searched. Then did they go out into the World soon to be lost, but never to be forgotten. MARGARET ROPER L if 54 Nifzetvm-Eiglztrrn Purple and Gold-lfaile High School Q TASS J! , XXX 728: inch! - 'u y Hail, classmates, and farewell! The parting moment cometh on apaceg Already falls the shadow of regret On every friendly heart and each familiar face. The future beckons us With dim, prophetic garlands in her hand, Bue ere you follow to that far success Turn yet again and view your happy childhood land. Honor, and love, and truth, And simple faith and piety are there, VVith childlike trust, and childhlike happiness In humble things, and ready willingness to share. Take, then, these comrades tried T As the companions of your onward path, In love of friends, in your own heart's approval, Each day shall have a joyous aftermath. The lark must soar to sing: Bathecl in the golden Hood, ecstatic, free, It rises past the limits of the earth To lose itself in heaven's blue infinity. The .rose must climb to bloom, To lure the sun into her yellow heart, To change the dew to nectar for the bee, To find her place, and do her lotted part. The soul must rise from earth To merge itself in the eternal plang Yet, rising higher, not disdain to stoop To raise its frailer, weaker brother-man. 55 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Pyaite High School I saw a hundred knights in battle-mail, And some were vizored light, and some were dark, But all rode, armed, upon a mighty quest, Seeking the glorious prize, Eternal Fame. One was there, on a horse of jetty black High-towering, and on his lofty crest He wore the jeweled sleeve of a fair dame VVho marked him from a turret-slit nearby, And waved her slender hand, decked all with gems, To cheer him on his way. He chose his path Among vast crowds of loud-applauding men, At rich-piled shrines he offered sacrifice g, Among the kings of earth he did great deeds, But in his last great joust he took his death. He died with noble earls abouthis bed, And he was buried in a haughty tomb, His warrior limbs wrapped in a silken shroud. They looked at him, and marveled but forgot In marveling at another noble knight. His lady, she whose ornament he wore, Smiled on another. So he made an end' Of life and quest. The second armed knight Spurred hot along the track, with purpose set To climb a mountain peak that raised its head Even to the lofty sky, whose purple clouds Heaped up its summit, and whose beaming sun Gilded its towering top, and' whose bright stars Formed it a diadem of precious stones. And as he rode he caroled loud and long, A true love song, and shook his glittering rein Into a merry, clear accompaniment. But soon he reached a lovely little dell Studded with violets, where a tiny stream E Made tinkling music on the mossy stones, And slipped through grasses long, and green, and sweet He looked, and drew his rein. His glossy steed He turned to pasture in the fragrant vale, And passed his days in gathering violets And' resting by the stream. He twined his head VVith blue-eyed flowers, and leaves of tender green. He lived and laughed and loved and sang and died. His mail lay rusted in the sparkling stream, VVhich made sweet music on the battered helm. His horse grew tame and sought no more the fight. So failed his quest, and no one marked his end. The third rode out with lowered head, and crest Full meekly bowed, and sought a desert wild' To dwell a hermit, for it seemed to him 56 Nilzetverz-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School That fame eternal should attend the knight NVho gave up what he loved for what he loathed. And in his humble pride, he lived alone: No neighbor came to call on him for aid, No footsore travelerstopped beside his door, Because that he had shunned the human kind. Instead of fame, he found oblivion. His kindly humor was dried up, and gave Its place to bitterness. He gathered herbs And ate alone, nor shared his simple meal. So lived he, and one day he did not rise. The sun came up and passed above his head, The buzzard woke and wheeled above his roof, The desert beasts came round about his door, And snulfed the air, and softly stole away, None knew nor cared the outcome of his quest. So passed they all, and none had reached the goal Until there came the last, the hundredth knight. Bright were his arms, and unadorned, and plain, Save on his shield was graved a silver cross That gathered' the sun's rays and flung them back As diamonds shine with myriad Hashing rays. His charger was snow-white, and white as milk The plumes that waved above his shining crest, And decked his charnping horse's harnessings. He rode with head Hung high, his youthful cheeks Flushed with as glowing rose as any girls. He, too, gazed on the distant, purple peak Andi set it as his goal. He cante1'ed forth Gay with the joy of spring and lusty youth. But as he passed upon his jaunty way He saw a woman, gray, and bowed, and old, Scarce tottering, from the fagots which she bore Upon her aged back. The knight sprang down And took her ,burden in his strong young arm, And lifted her upon his steed's broad back, And strode beside her till they reached her home, A lowly cot, with roof of plaited thatch. They parted there, and he pursued his way. Scarce had he journeyed for a furlong more, He found a child, who wept and made loud moan She stepped upon a thistle, -so she said, And it lay smarting in her tender foot. VVith gentle hand he drew the painful thorn And bound the hurt with fine-wove linen, torn From his own 'kerchief. Kissed and comforted, The child walked on across the sunny fields, And he rode onward, bent upon his quest. 57 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School But ever found he grievous wrongs to right. But ever fled the peak before his eyes, He following, through woods and over dales. Now maidens' injuries called for redressg Now men demanded help against some foeg Or children, lost, he must assist to End There homes. To none of these did he refuse His mighty strength, which ever greater grew, And waxed still stronger' as he used it more. Yet so long did he tarry, that the sun Of his life far had passed its glowing noon, And ever nearer drew to setting, when At last he reached the mountain's rocky foot, Set on a stool embroidered all with blooms Of daisy, and of cowslip, and of rose. Upward he set his face, and climbed from height To lofty height, and Hinty pinnacle To pinnacle, until he reached the top. His final goal attained, he slowly turned And gazed about at all the twilight sky, And down below, the people saw his plume Like some white cloud about his silver helm, Which twinkled in the distance like a Star. And as they gazed, his body seemed to melt, ' And loose his helmet in the height of heaven, Till to their fixed, bewildered ayes appeared A brilliant star, whose rays shone gleaming down Cut of the halo of a fleecy cloud. And all his path up- the stern mountain-side VVas marked by that bright beam, and, looking at it lllen turned away, amazed, and marveled at itg And children looked, and gently wondered at itg And none forgot, who saw that wondrous sight, But told their children, and their children's children Until his fame reached all the bounds of earth, And he lived on in that eternal fame VVhich shone forever in the shining star, And told the ages he had won his quest. That star shines through the night lhlarking a path for other men to tread. Radiant and pure, it leads us through the gloom Toward awe-inspiring peaks where triumph blossoms red Onward and ever on VVith brighter, nobler stars to point the way Till in the wan radiance of the fading moon VVe see a glorious dawn, another fairer day. -CHARLOTTA ANN CROFTS 58 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-U ailzf High School - fm.. , ,,,..

Fish Contract to Trout and Herring An immense contract for supplying the county jail with fish, has been awarded to the C. Trout and VV. Herring Company.

Pggaqmlsllllilhw Two Men Harold j. Warsl I tell you what, let's play kidnappers. ' The speaker was a bright-eyed, freckled-faced youngster of teng his audience consisted of a boy about the same age and a pretty little blue-eyed girl of nine. The freckled-faced lad continued, 'fBoh, you steal hfiarjory and then I will come and lick you and take her back home. UNO, James lfiorton, I want to save her, pouted the spoiled Robert Jack- son, H 'n besides I am two months older than you are. Jim has got the biggest muscle, put in IX-Iarjory, in defence of her freckled hero. Bob, do you remember how the two fellows fought in the show the other night? Let's you and I have a light like that one, suggested Jim. Oh goody, chirped lklarjory. No, I don't want to fight. I don't like fights and besides my mother dcesn't want me to. And blood makes me sick, protested the faint-hearted Bob. Jim smiled and then strode over toward Bob and said, You're not a coward. are you?', Robert clinched his fists and said, angrily, No, I'm not, James lworton, and I'll just fight you for that. And such a Fight was never before waged for a fair lady's hand and smile. Iim's freckled nose was the target for several pretty hard blowsg while Robert 67 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Hfaite High School received most of his punishment in the region of the solar plexis. But finally Robert swung too wide and Jim placed .1 hard blow on his nose. The blood then made its appearance, and the battle was over as far as Robert was con- cerned. The exciting game of kidnappers, was broken up, but Jim did not care, for lie received the customary reward for heroism from Rlarjory, while Robert went howling homeward. That evening Jim created a small riot when he appeared at dinner. One eye was black and his nose was swollen. His mother was horrified, but his father was proud, although he didn't dare show it in the presence of his wife. A similar scene was enacted at the home of the Jacksons, when the whimper- ing Robert made his appearance. The mother was shocked, but the father was angry, not because his sow had been licked, but because he was blubbering so over it. At the home of the Appletons, the family was scarcely able to eat for listen- ing to the glowing accounts of theexploits of lWarjory's little gladiator, Jim. Fo the years went on'and little lyiarjory and Jim remained inseparable friends. Robert still remained a big, whimpering, spoiled child. But he adored lVIajory even though his adoration was not returned or accepted. In high school, it was lylarjory who spurred Jim on to accomplish great things. It was lVIarjory who cheered him on the athletic fieldg it was llflarjory who helped him overcome the hard lessons. Then the years slipped on and high school days were over. ,lim went away to college, leaving a very downhearted and lonesome girl behind him. For the .first time since babyhood they were separated. But then time soon Hits by and soon came college graduation. lliarjory went to see Jim graduated and to attend the last dance of the school year. The students seemed to become children once more and gave way to the greatest of revelry on that night. The spacious ball room was hung with all the beauty and splendor which only Nature is able to provide in the Spring. The balcony was hung with blankets of violets, mixed with sprays of spirea. At one end of the room hung a large flag, gently moving to and fro with the cool, sweet breath of the spring breeze, which drifted in through the open windows. At one side of the room were large French windows opening out on a balcony, which was banked with palms and ferns. There were cozy seats in secluded little nooks. It was just the sort of place to which youth is wont to steal. away to, and whisper sweet nonsense, while the moon looks on and smiles. Here it was that Jim and llflarjory stole away to, at the close of the first dance. After they were seated in an out of the way corner, Jim took TMarjory's hand and said, Marj'. little girl, I am going away. lllarjory concealed her surprise as best she could, and giving Jim's hand a little nervous squeeze, said: Oh, don't say that, Jimmy, dear. Yes, lwarjory, I received a flattering offer from an engineering company today. They are building some railroads in Peru, and, he continued, I want you to--- Hello, lVIorton, sang out the gay voice of one of Jim's classmates. VVhat are you doing out here ? Gb, shut up, and go away, will you? Can't you see I'm busy? growled Jim. As I was saying, lVIarj', dear,'l he Went on, I want--f- VVell, if it isn't Jim lVIorton himself. What's going on out here ?', piped out another classmate, who recognized him. 68 0 ,,. W Q Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School Oh, just looking at the moon. Go away and don't bother me, muttered Jim through his teeth. When they were alone once more, Jim saw that llflarjory had been crying but he immediately kissed the tears away and then said, lWarjory, I want you to marry me and go to Peru with me. Will you, dearest ? Marjory bit her lip and then answered, No, Jim, I must stay at home with father and mother. You go to Peru and then we shall be married upon your return, that is if you still want me. I Jim caught her to him and said, sadly: I suppose I must be content with that, but never fear about my not wanting you. Why, ltiarjory dear, whenvl start for home I'll feel like getting oill of the boat and walking all of the way. But listen, lVIarj', can't you say, 'yes?' ' No, Jimmy, not yet. I shall wait for you for ever and ever, if you stay that long, replied Marjory. But come, now, there is a- lovely fox-trot and you know we shall not have a chance to dance together again very soon. So they returned to the merry whirl in the ball-room. The gay music of the dance was ringing out, but the orchestra was hidden from view by beautiful banks of palms and ferns, making the music seem strange and uncanny, as if floating from some beautiful musical island of green. The girls seemed as butterflies, fluttering about in this garden of flowers: while the boys in their evening clothes seemed strangely out of harmony com- pared with their dainty partners. . As the evening went on, the music livened, as if trying to keep pace with the flying time. But in the midst of all this there were two merry dancers who hid extremely heavy hearts under their smiles. Then the sweet strains of Home, Sweet Home, floated out upon the gay assemblage, and the moon hid his face behind a cloud' and went to sleep. Soon after this, Jim sailed away for Peru. Of all of the people left behind, there was only one who was glad to see Jim go. That person was Robert Jack- son. Robert had always regarded Jim as a stumbling block in his path in his quest for lVIarjory's favor. Soy Robert became a most zealous suitor. But it was a one-sided affair, for he received no encouragement at all from lylarjory. lNIarjory's letters left regularly for Peru, and Jim's as regularly came. Then suddenly they stopped. One letter was overdue and then another. lliarjory was filled with dark forebodings. Then, like a thunderbolt, came a cablegram telling of Jim's disappearance and probable death. The An'erican Consul, at the city where Jim had been, wrote that Jim had started out alone one morning to examine a stream over which a bridge was to be built and had not returned. And 'although a very close investigation had been made, no trace could be found of him. This news fairly stunned lVIarjory and the once merry blue eyes became sad. She was changed from a happy, care-free girl to a serious woman. One evening, when the still ardent Robert was calling, he said, Marjory, won't you marry me ? lllarjory sat silent for a few moments, for she seemed to feel Jim beside her. Then, raising her sad eyes, she said, No, Robert, I can t. I promised Jim. This made Robert very angry. VVould Jim lVIorton never cease to stand in his way? Even when-he was dead he blocked his plans. Marjory, he said, hoarsely, Jim hlorton is dead, so why can't you marry me and be happy? I can give you everything you want. No, Robert, I gave my word. Do you knowf' she continued, I some- times think that Jim might still be alive. - 69 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Plfaite High School Oh, sneered Robert, I guess he is dead all right. Marjory's eyes fairly snapped at this, and turning to Robert she said, I promised Jim and I won't go back on my word. So don't speak to me again of marrying you. Not long after this conversation, war was declared on Germany. lklarjory became one of the most enthusiastic Red Cross workersq She entered a training school for nurses and then made application for service in France with American forces. P Robert's old yellow streak again made its appearance. He was filled with fear lest he might have to go to France as a soldier. One day he met a group of his friends. Hello, Bob, old top, they called. Come on and enlist with us. VVe are going over. Robert paled and shook his head, No, fellows, I can't. One of the group looked at him in contempt, -and said, with a sneer, Bob Jackson, you're'yellow. Yellow clear through. You always were and always will be. The rest of the group agreed with the speaker, but Robert fled to his room with the words: Yellow, yellow clear through, ringing in his ears. He then decided to go over, to lVIarjory's home, for he felt that he could forget those words in her presence. She greeted! him with a smile and said, Robert, my application has been accepted, and I expect to sail next week for F rance. VVhat? stammered Robert. VVhy, are you going? he continued, You don't have to. For shame, Robert Jackson, answered lliarjory, angrily. You should be in France now yourself. You should be ashamed of yourself. If poor ,lim were only alive he would be 'Over There.' Enough, cried Robert, springing up. And he went running down the path. The next day llfiarjory learned that Robert had enlisted with a division which was awaiting orders to go over. The large hospital was filled with broken bits of humanity. The air inside was filled with groans and sobs. The white-clad nurses flitted like angels from one bed to another. Here to straighten a sufferer's pillowg here to take a dying man's last message, here to hold a danger-crazed soldierls hand to quiet himg or to comfort some poor soldier in his awful nightmare. hiarjory Appleton was one of these angels, and as she went from cot to cot, many were the blessings that were heaped on her head. As she stpped into an adjoining room a doctor met her and asked, Miss Appleton, did you hear of the brave aviator who was brought in this morning? No, doctor, I did not, answered lklarjory, Tell me about him. VVell, said the doctor, an enemy machine was sighted above our lines and this young man went up to 'get' him. They fought and fought, but neither could gain an advantage and our men were afraid to fire for fear of hitting our man. Then this brave lad worked around and forced the Hun nearer and nearer the ground. Then he suddenly headed straight for the German and both came crashing to the ground. There it was found that this brave American had used all of his ammunition and rather than have the German return to his own lines with notes, and photographs of our movements, he deliberately ran into the enemy. The German was dead when recovered from the wreckage, but this heroic American was still alive although badly crushed. He is lying as if 70 Nirzeleen-Eiglzteerz Purple and Gold-PVaite High School in a trance, and unless someone is able to arouse his interest in life, I cannot save him. I thought, perhaps, llfiiss Appleton, that you could do something. Yes, surely, doctor, replied lVIarjory eagerly. Reaching the bedside, lylarjory suddenly became very pale and swayed so that she would have fallen had the doctor not caught her. Then sinking down by the bed, she sobbed, Jimmy, oh! Jimmy dear, my Jimmy! The wounded man slowly opened his eyes and smiled faintly, he was too weak to talk. Nlarjory saw, not Jim the hero, but Jimmy lylorton, her little freckled-faced playmate. The doctor had seen that weak smile and was glad, for he knew that now the soldier had a fighting chance. Then followed long days and weeks of suffering and pain when lVIarjory was at Jim's bedside constantly. The crisis was passed at last and Jim started to climb the ladder toward' health again. He told hiarjory the story of how he had started out to examine the creek before the bridge was begun and how the last he remembered was of something hitting him a deadening blow on the head. VVhen he came to himself again he was lying in a hospital in a coast town. The doctors told him he had been found wandering aimlessly along the road, by a company of wandering gypsies, and had been brought to the hospital. Here a small bone, which was pressing on his brain, had been removed, and after sev- eral weeks he was pronounced well again. After being released from the hospital, he had learned that war had been declared by the United States upon Germany. He had tried to find news of llfiarjory and had learned that she had sailed for France as a nurse. He had at once joined a division of Americans which was organizing in Peru and had gone to France, where he had been transferred to the aviation corps. He had been unable to find any trace of Marjory until he woke to find' her at his bed- side after his fight with the German. One day, after he was able to sit up, lbiarjory came in, looking very pale. In her hand was the casualty list for the day and Jim saw the name of Private Robert Jackson, killed in action, cited for bravery in the orders of the day. Jim looked at lVIarjory, and then kissing her, he said, lNTarj', little girl, I'm glad Bob died fighting. He was a good fellow. VVhen Jim was able he was invalided home and lblarjory was released to take care of him. The war came to a happy and successful close before Jim was able to take the field again. Now, if you happen to go to the ldorton estate, you will probably see playing in the garden a little freckled-faced lad, but this is Jim lllorton, Junior. 4 273245 -Legg , 7 1 Nirzelccrz-Eiglzfcfelz Purple and Gold-Ufaite Higlz Sfhool .Un illlrmnriam V HELEN, BAILLEUX, '18 MARTHA CHAMBERLAIN, '19 There is a Reaper, Whose name is Death, And, with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at Il breath, And the Howers that grow betweenf, I I 72 i110ff'f'rz-Eigllfvmz Purfrlf and Gold--lVnite High School 73 ?1' Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gola'-fVaite High School r Frank Young .....

They called their society the llflargaret Fuller Society. This grew quickly and has now become one of the largest organizations in VVaite High School. It is known there as the Zetalethean Literary Society. Various subjects are discussed and taken up for study. Some of the most important are, present day writers, music, modern short stories, and English writers. At different times during the year, short plays are given. Open meet- ings are also held at least once a year, and everyone is invited to these. In this way girls become interested in 'the society and this leads to the gaining of new members. ' The girls work by themselves, only receiving a few suggestions and a little help from the critics. The girls have lived up to their motto, Nothing without labor, and have set a standard which is hard to excel. Gccasionally social functions of some variety are enjoyed by the members. These usually consist of spreads, numerous theater parties, and a luncheon at the end of the season, at which the honorary and active members, the critics, and alumni meet to enjoy a final good time. The society is always looking forward to the future with the greatest hopes of success, and those who graduate this year can always realize that the time they spent in the society was very enjoyable and one of the most prominent fea- tures of their high school life. 112 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gola'-Hfaite High School ZETALETHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY MEETINGS A joint meeting of the Zetalethean and Forum Societies was held on Friday, December Zlst, in the Auditorium.

X 7ice-President D0'nald Herringshaw .... --- Secretary and Treasurer The Waite High Alumni Association is the only one of its kind in the city. It is very fortunate that a high school can boast of such an organization, for it is a medium thru which we can keep in touch with friends of our high school days. ' It was shown at the get-together meeting, held December 27, that although the former students are scattered far and wide, loyalty to VVaite is still firmly embedded in the hearts of those who have had the privilege of being counted among the graduates of Old Waite. The Association has a membership of about four hundred. As each suc- cessive class joins the ranks of the association, it must needs become more power- ful, and it is hoped that in many ways the Old Grads, thru the association, will be able to render assistance in making their alma mater one of the best that can be found in the country. x L 114 N E P pl G If H S 1 X ' K 1 , ,G f' 2 fy ,ff ' fx f VV! wal' .

It was organized at Waite in the year 1914, when ajew boys realized the need of another literary society in the school. Hugh Bartley was the first president. A strong organization was -soon formed and many regular instructive and social meetings have been held since. VVeekly meetings have been conducted with debates and discussions of cur- rent events. The membership committee is a lively one and many. pleasant social functions are the result. The Quill and Dagger Society is noted for its athletic and scholastic stand- ing, the members of the greater number of teams being also members of the Quill and Dagger. The society is built up of men from all the classes which guarantees a long- lived successful organization which promises to make Waite famous. 118 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold--Waite High School QUILL AND DAGGER MEETINGS. One of the most enjoyable meetings of the Quill and Dagger Literary Society held' this year, tookg place in Room 80, on the afternoon of Friday, January 4. Nlembers answered the roll call with bits of literary quotations. Norman Foley was elected new vice-president, inasmuch as Carl Siegrist was lost by graduation. Collection of dues. Paul Green was then elected to the office of Sergeant-at-arms.

The society was divided at the opening of Scott High, in 1913, and the Alpha Chapter was thus formed. VVhen VVaite High opened, the work of the Beta Chapter was resumed. At least once a year a combination meeting of the two branches takes place. Because of the pleasant rivalry existing, these meet- ings are very interesting. The programs of the past year have proven instructive and also interesting. They are composed of orations, debates and an occasional play. llfilany social functions of the society are enjoyed during the school year. These consist of spreads and theater parties, formal and informal dances, and in June a farewell party for the Seniors. The annual banquet takes place during Christmas vacation and is shared by the Alpha Chapter. The aim of every member of the society is to live up to the motto, Second to None. This has been accomplished by the girls' own efforts, as they work without a director. 124 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-PI aite High School PERICLEAN LITERARY SOCIETY MEETINGS The Periclean Literary Society met in the Auditorium on November 2.

It has always been recognized as a society which places great stress upon its literary work, but is never left behind in social events. Its purpose is to get together some of the best boys of the school and try, by the united efforts of all to become more eiiicient in the use of English, to create a love for public speaking and enjoy many social times together. i All topics concerning current events are discussed by the whole body, while the more important subjects are debated by teams, chosen by the members. Aside from the literary work, the Forum has always promoted social func- tions, with the other societies and individually. It has given dances assisted by others, and also some by itself. - . The Forum does not only support itself and its country, but also its school. For where are more willing workers to be found, to help in athletics, operas, plays, dances, and on the Retina and Annual Boards, than among the Forum boys? It is sincerely hoped that the Forum will always live up to its old stand- ards and remain one of the best literary societies of VVaite High School. ' 130 Nineteen-Eiglzteen Purple and Gold-Ufaite Higlz School FORUM LITERARY SOCIETY MEETINGS A regular meeting of the Forum, or rather an extraordinary meeting of the Forum, was held in Room 124 on Friday. Ikiarch 1, at 1:45. It was considered one of our best meetings and the literary part was certainly well prepared. The Censor ofiered the following program: Life of Admiral Dewey ....... .... B urton Potter Life of Admiral Farragut ................................ Adelbert Kuhn Debate-Resolved, That Admiral Farragut VVasi a Greater Rlian Than Admiral Dewey. AiIirmative---.--- ---Raymond Schmoekel Negative .......... ...... Y Vayne Thomas The Life of Edison ....... ................. D onald Van Brimer lN'Iiss Hutchinson, who was appointed critic, gave a kind criticism of the work, pointing out the weak and strong points alike. Another ripping meeting of the Forum was held on lXf'Iarch 8. Scripture Reading- Russia and Its Future Uselessness in the YVar.', This subject was well handled by YVard YVhitcomb. ' An open discussion followed on The Conditions on Which the Allies Are Ready for Peace, in which all the members heartily participated. Life in the trenches from Over the Top proved to be a very amusing read- ing, as given by Harold Holmes. Why It Is Virtually Essential That the Allies VVin the Next Great Drive of the.Gerrnans, was the subject of extemporaneous speech, and was given by Harold Kaufman. lN'Iuch originality and hard work was shown in the topics prepared and it will be kept on record as one of our best. 131 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Golrl-Pffaite High School i VVAITE FRIENDSHIP CLUB The Friendship Club is one of VVaite's live wires, and as such it has kept things humming this year and has every prospect of doing the same next term. The courses are especially interesting and many delightful social allairs have been held, including a party given for all girls who are attending VVaite High for the first time. A VVith the exception of a Christmas party, at which a group of poor children were entertained, the social service work has consisted almost entirely of war work. Besides the support of a French war orphan, the girls have made scrap- books for wounded soldiers, pieced a quilt for a French baby, sent soap, towels and wash cloths as gifts to soldiers in the trenches, and made about eight hundred compresses for Hospital Aus chare Number Forty-three, St. Valery en Caux, Seine Triferienre, France. , 132 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and GoldeWaite High School NVAITE FRIENDSHIP CLUB OFFICERS Dorothy Hunter ......... ........... - --.--- .----.- Prf2SidCI112 Algy Hyde --,-,.,, -,,,- ,,,,,,,q ,,,,. - - . .-Vice-President Dorothy Fisher ....o .. .... , -... -- -- -----N---- SCCICUITY Constance Wegttialt ......... -- -.----------- ---- -----TYCHSUYCY Ruth Heater ........ ........ .......-------- R fr porter Albrne Nvegman ---- -,--,,... - --SCI'gCRl'lt'21t'aASl'fl'1S ADV ISERS llfliss Noble Bliss Goodall lyliss Pray lXfIiss Dunlap Nliss Garirr MEMBERS Zula Burkholder Ruth Heater Almira Pelton Edith Baumgardner Alcy Hyde Helen Rohrbacker Dorothy Bennett Helena Baer Florence Breese Edith Boddy Mabel Beck Florence Boddy Raydell Carrell Ora Critchet Charlotta Ann Crofts Lois Crabb Mary Coy Mary C.

T reasurer Le Cercle Francais, composed of French students, is one of the various clubs of the school organized' to stimulate interest in and to put into practice what is learned in the class room. Owing to the present conditions a greater interest for French has been aroused than ever before. Each year Le Cercle Francais has to be re-organized and since many pupils take only a two-year course, the beginning of the school year finds the club with very few of the older members. In September of the present school year, with just a handful of original mem- bers, reorganization was especially difiicult, but all of the second semester pupils were admitted into the circle and under the able direction of Bllle. Ryan it has proved to be a banner year. To furtherarouse their interest, correspondence was carried on between members of the circle and pupils in France. Charming let- ters in English were received and they were answered in French. Each meeting was made as entertaining and instructive as possible. Plays were given by the advanced class and the freshmen presented Red Riding Hood 3 papers relating to France and her people were ready French books and their authors were dis- cussedg readings in French dialect were given, French poems were recited and songs were sung. French games were played and the afternoon's program usually ended with the singing of La lVIarseillaise, the national song of France. 135 ' I Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School HI-Y-CLUB The Hy-Y-Club has had a successful year. VVe were extremely fortunate in securing VVilliam E. VVright as our leader. He attended our meetings regu- larly until he left for France in December to join the Y. IW. C. A. forces in that country. During the time he was with us we held our weekly meetings on Monday afternoon at 1:45, in room 65. hir. VVright was well liked by all, and our meetings were very enjoyable. VVhen he left, in December, we were without a leader. During the months of January and February we held no meetings. VVe secured, thru the Y. bi. C. A., Mr. A. J. Nutt, a prominent business man, to take charge of our club. As his time is taken up during the day, we were obliged to change our meeting place to the Y. M. C. A., and the time to Friday evening at 7:15. Hikes and other social times are enjoyed by all. The VVaite and Scott Hi-Y-Clubs held a joint banquet in October, at the Y. NI. C. A. Cafeteria. Rev. S. Y. Mahon was the speaker of the evening. Interesting talks have been given by 1VIr. Bennett, who was with the Red Cross in France, Professor R. W. VVells, and Rflr. Van Cleve. 136 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold- lflfaite High School E.

Although operas have been given before at VVaite, the cast has never been in the form of a club, previ- ous to this time. The only opera given by the club, thus far, was Trial by Jury. This was a great success when given at Waite, and so it again appeared at the Newsboys' entertainment, when our school took charge there. The success of the Opera Club is due in a large measure to the able director, Mr. Clarence R. Ball. His efforts have been untiring, and with his co-opera- tion much is expected in the future. 138 77---- Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Pfaite High School THE BELLS OF CORNEVILLE Presented by THE VVAITE HIGH SCHOOL OPERA CLUB C.

Wright, known around Waite High as Bill and Coach, took up the work of building a football team at Waite, he entered upon a monumental task. Although there was a wealth of grid material at Waite, the school had always been unfortunate in past years by having the services of a number of coaches for short periods only and naturally this material lacked development. Wright necessarily had to build from the ground. Although his orders and rules were iron-clad, they were obeyed with alacrity by the Waite men, with whom he was a great favorite. He was assisted in his work by Paul Mason. The unusual results which he accomplished are known by all those who are acquainted with the traditional sports at VVaite. Soon after the close of the season Bill felt the call of the colors and went in for the Y. M. C. A. work. Any of his old friends can get in touch with him by writing to IZ Rue d'Aguesseau, Y. M. C. A. Headquarters, Paris, France. 146 Nineteen-Eiglzteclz Purple and Gold-Hfaile High School X QQ 147 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-llfaite High School Frank Young. captain of the 1917 squad, proved to be an unusually good leader for the boys. He played at the left tackle position. Punting and the kicking of goals following touchdowns were well executed by him. l'Tee was always in the game both on the offensive and defensive. Young will be lost by graduation. One of cur most reliable men was Chuck Trout, who played full-back. He made many a gain through his ability to bore holes in the opponent's line and run the ends. Trout is one of the graduating class. Raymond Sheets, last year star quarterback, and captain- elect of the squad of '18, was a favorite among the fans by virtue of his ability to Hput over plays what ainltf' Emma will be back again this fall. 1Vilder was one of our best men last season, It was Bill's first year out but he showed to a wonderful advan- tage at half and alternated at that position. He is Alternate- Captain elect of the 1918 squad. 148 I Nineteen-Eightemz Purple and Gold-l7Vaite High School Plock 'was one of the ends, and well worthy of a posi-' tion on the 'varsity. Eddie was a bear at stopping the oppo- sition and bringing their attempted end runs to naught. -He will be lost by graduation. ' :.' Herb Colvin played the right tackle and was easily a star in the NVaite drives. Cupid will be with us again this fall and should greatly bolster the strength of our next i grid machine. Coach NVright had a real find in Harry Larson, a new man. He developed into an all-star in the back field, and on the line Could pull down passes to perfection. Slats will be in camp again this fall. e , For the right guard position no better man Could have been chosen than Petcoil. Boni helped to develop the strong defensive of the team and was into the game every minute. As he does not graduate this year he should be valuable man on the squad this fall. 1-19 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite Higlz School His ability to play either at half or quarter equally as well enabled Siegrist to cinch a place on the squad. At plunging Carl was a bear. He will not be with us this fall. Hade VVZIS a regular, playing on the extremity of the right wing. Zip was an unusually smart player and very consistent. As he is a senior he will be Hamong the missing when the season opens this year.

He should be a great help to the team. this year. Quinlin, another new man, did a great share of the heavy work for the team, playing the difficult role of a star center. Pete was more than a match for many oppos- ing players. He has the makings of a star gridder and should display real class with another year's work on the squad. Jacobs, our other guard, was a real fighter, .opponents made any noticeable gains in his vicinity. it came to effecting holes in the line of the opponent, man was there. He may be back with the team this 150 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Pfaite High Sfhool Sullivan, our fighting center, was a father to the men. Whenever the score was against the purple and goldl' Joe al- ways went the rounds demanding and pleading for a better showing from the men. His Words worked wonders, and it is hoped that he will again be with the team this fall. Never a missi' was the motto of Tackle Foley. Al- though he lacked experience when he tried out for the team, he became a member of the squad by virtue of his laboring qualities. Norm graduates this year and should be a good man for some college team. ' VVickham was another flashy little quarterback. He was small but a hard fighter and made a creditable showing. Eddie will probably be out again this season. Young was another of our tackles and one of the hardest workers on the eleven. His sober and industrious spirit won the favoritism of all the players and fans. Bill has his name on the graduation list. 151 I NlHEfF671.EIgllf6e7l Purple and Gold--Hfaile Higlz School Paul Mason Probably one of the most liked persons around our school for the past few years has been Paul Mason, athletic director and coach. Those athletically in- clined are especially fond of Paul. The democratic spirit which he possesses undoubtedly accounts for his popularity. And when he is coaching he gets results, no matter whether it is on the track, basket- ball Hoor, the grid, or in the gym. Paul came to us from Purdue. Theodore Keller' Theodore Keller, otherwise known as Ted, was, up until the middle of the school year, assistant athletic director. He and Paul Mason teamed the gym job. Ted was also one of those who has heard the call to the colors. - He enlisted for Y. M. C. A. work, and was sent to Camp Hancock, Ga. 152 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School The QAnnua1 Scott Grid Qflffair By the time Turkey Day rolled around our grid warriors were confident that they could put one over on our Scott friends. And the conditions on which bets were being accepted about town indicated that the purple and gold was going to come through on that day of days. N igh to all seats were occupied at Swayne Field when the two teams dashed onto the grid. , At the sound of the whistle both teams began to battle for the honor of their schools. The VVaite eleven fought as they had never fought before, and the highly-touted Scotters found it almost impossible to gain ground. NVolcott, however, by means of a terillic plunge, managed to work the pigskin over for one touchdown after it had been brought to within ten yards of the line. Sawyer kicked goal and at the end of the first half the score stood Scott 7, and VVaite 0. ln the second half, Vick, the Scotter who showed to probably the best ad- vantage and who had been substituted for Sawyer, went over the line. He missed the goal. lyloorehead counted' another touchdown, and again goal was missed. The VVaite fellows came near the line at many times but seemed to lack the neces- sary punch to put the ball over. At the final whistle the West end school was on the long end of a 19 to 0 score, but all our loyal rooters who had turned out for the game seemed satisfied that they could console themselves in the fact that our team had certainly given Scott a run for its money.

The team broke the ice by defeating Bellvue Hi at Scott field, the score ending 49 to 6. The following week, the men ofiicially opened the VVaite bowl, by taking on lVIonroe Hi. The Nlichiganders came down quite enthused but de- parted with a 38 to 0 defeat marked quite plainly on the minds of all on the squad. The first defeat of the season was suffered by our men when they bowed to defeat at the hands of the Detroit Central lads, the final score being 12 to 7. Coming back with plenty of confidence and a good lesson well learned, the squad made an easy job of Steele Hi of Dayton the week following. A stinging 13 to O defeat was handed the downstaters with our regards. And still another shut- out for the opposing party was dealt to Detroit VVestern in the next game. The score of this affair was 3 to 0. Columbus VVest was the next victim going down to defeat to the tune of 12 to 6. All of the aforementioned games, with the exception of the opener were played in the bowl, and the purple and gold warriors were looking forward with anticipation to the date of the Erie CPa.J, game, which was scheduled to be played at that eastern city. Two hours before time for the train to leave, Faculty lVIanager llfloore received word that the game would have to be cancelled because the Erie men had to pick grapes in order to save a crop that was threatened by frost. flt was suggested that the grapes were probably of the sour varietyj. The next scheduled game was played in the bowl and was with Central Hi of Akron. Our fellows had an inside tip that the team was of the fish variety so they expected an easy time. But the dope happened' to be wrong and when the final whistle blew we were on the short end of a 3 to 0 score. And still an- other calamity happened the following week when the Columbus East Hi nien took one of those games which are hard to lose. The capitol city lads took the affair by a score of 14- to 13. But a come-back was in store just before the Scott game. Cass Tech journeyed to our city and learned how to play the fall pastime, under the tutorage of our gridders. A fee of 33-7 was charged. The Scott game concluded the season's activities. Six wins and four defeats cannot be considered such a poor showing considering the high class opposition. 154 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Pffaite High School Our' Reserve Football Team Although very little credit is given our reserve squad, it should be remem- bered that the men that compose this outfit are the ones who toughen the varsity and get them into 'shape for the regular season. The first game for the Reserves was staged at Blissfield. The affair ended in a 7 to 7 tie. The next game ended in defeat for our men, the Bradner boys battling out a 13 to 7 win. But the boys showed what they really had in them the following week in the next game which was with Genoa at that place. Our team came back with the honors having put over a 38 to 0 win. An- other shut-out was registered when the Wziite men were hosts for the only time of the season, and Cathedral Hi was the visitor. The Cathedral men bowed to a 20-0 defeat. Outweighed 20 pounds to the man, the Reserves were walloped in their next game which was played with Defiance. The affair ended with a score of 48 to 0, our men complaining bitterly of the treatment to which they were subjected. The final game of the season was played with the Scott' Reserves, the West End outfit winning by a score of 26 to 13. Thus, with two games won, two lost, and one tied, the Reserves closed their books for the season. Those men on the team receiving sweaters were: Captain DeViney, Isbell, Arnold Buck, Arthur Buck, Lamb, Duden, llflclnnis, Feak, Adams, Jones, llflil- ler, Demuth, Nopper and Elliot. Those receiving R's were: Schultz, Schuetze, Otten, Welch and Goldstein. , 155 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-llfaite High School Mgm iffii m HERE U55 TRACK BORN Q DE-D -1913, 30 ZX ' HJ -A DIED-1913 156 Nineteen-Eighteen Pizrple and Gold--PVaite High School In Memory gf Baseball and Track H Here lies the remains of baseball and track. Shed a few tears over the remains of two of our most beloved of sports. Yes, they are dead. Both died just a year ago, and it was such a horrible death. Or we might say they were both taken from us for no reason whatsoever. Many of their friends mourn for them. Yes, many of the high schools did away with the national pastime and the sport of the oval at the conclusion of last season. Various reasons were given for dropping them from the roster of school sports. Some stated that they were no longer in popular demand when exhibited in the high school class. Others did way with them on account of the war, while still others claimed that they were losing propositions linancially. And now that they are gone, so far as school athletics are concerned, there seems to be a longing for their recall. Fans can miss their football and basketball games, but when spring rolls aroundg the diamond fan feels something in his blood and he longs to hear the crack of the bat and see the' men field the ball. No attempt will be made here to argue the justibility of dropping these sports, but on the whole there seems to be a general feeling that they should be brought back to life so that we may see them played as they have been for as many years as school athletics can be traced back. . But, let us murmer a prayer, over their graves. for such they seem to be, and be consoled' that they both led good and righteous lives, and were loved by countless numbers. 157 Nineteen-Eigizteen' Purple and Gold-iffaite High School Bowling Previous to the past school year bowling had been sadly overlooked in our school sport circles. U just why so little attention had been given this old winter sport is difficult to ascertain. Last season the question received considerable discussion. The Waite faculty and senior classes had before, at several times, organized teams and played off several matches a year, but no schedule was ever adopted or any effort made to further the sport to all the classes. But it remained for the live ones to start something in the fall of 'l7. A team was organized in each class and also one among the faculty. A schedule was adopted and standings maintained. Those who had the opportunity ofr enjoying any of those many afternoons spent by the teams will know only too well that the game was received with great favor, and it is hoped that the plan of last year will be effected again next season.

Joy reigned supreme at the Waite athletic camp when it was learned that Larry Teeple would be back to coach the basketball team last season. Teeple had built up two championship teams at Waite and his prospects for a third were promising. The year previous he led the Xvaite team to the Ohio State champion- ship and the third honors in the national championship tournament held at Chicago. Teeplefs success needs no comment on these pages, as his ability to produce winning Hoot teams is known throughout these sections. The school as a whole can thank Teeple for putting Waite on the map through the teams he has built for us and may we wish him all success in his future enterprises.

At the opening of the season, with the wealth of material on hand, with Larry Teeple as coach, and a first-class schedule ahead, all indications pointed to a championship for Waite. But not so, sad to say. Waite fans all know the story and matters could only be made worse by further discussion on these pages. On January 4th the season started by a game with the Alumni. The former Waite stars were picked as easy winners, but the 'varsity came through and took the heavy end of a 46 to 27 score, which only further indicated that Waite hadga real quintet. A win over the University of Detroit school by a score of 62 to I7 fol- lowed.. Oberlin was the next victim, bowing to the purple and gold to the tune of 40 to I4. The real surprise of the season was uncovered when the Hyde Park aggregation of Chicago touted as middle west runners up, became the easy pick- ing for our men, and another victory was added to the string, the score being 42 to l4. All these affairs had been staged on the Waite court. The next week our boys traveled to Akron, where they took the Central Hi lads into camp by regis- tering a 40 to 2l win. Stivers Hi of Dayton was the next crew to attempt to weather a storm on the Waite hi seas and the result was that the ship manned that those men also sunk with a casuality list of 42 and l8. But then the bell rang and it was curtain to our title aspirations. Two of our men were dropped from the line-up, having become members of the lneligible League. - Outside of one game, the remainder of the season was one series of beat- ings. First came the Scott game, which was staged on the enemy's floor and ended with our fellows on the under side of a 42 to I8 score. By a clever maneuvering of the players remaining on the team, Coach Teeple managed to put one over at the expense of the Norwood Hi squad from Cincinnati, while the band played 32-IO. The Waite men then advanced to the .Detroit Central sector and suf- fered heavy losses, losing ground at a 25-l0 rate. Elyria Hi also won a battle on their own grounds, taking the honors 27 to 23. Erie then came in for its share and drove back our men a distance of 3l to 29. But still the morale of our fighting men remained surprisingly high and they fought their limit in the final grilling, which was the second encounter with the Scotters, and which ended with the enemy ahead 22 to l3. ' And as the storm clouds cleared, we found that we had a record of seven victories and five defeats, which is better than many outfits finish with. Our men had registered 399 points while the opponents had counted but 250. 166 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School BASKETBALL SCHEDULE AND' RECORD.

' Charles Trout was elected captain at the opening of the season, with Players Petcoff, lsbell, Mills, H. Bucher, 'Welch, Wickham and Littleton to form the outfit. The opening game was lost to the Broadway M. E. five by a score of 23 to l0. This was the only home game of the season. The team then traveled to Archbold only to be walloped by a score of 39 to l0. Oak Harbor was Waite's first victim. The game was close and the final score was I6 to I5. The next game played ended in another defeat for the Reserves. The boys took a beating from the Tri-State to the tune of 34 to I4. Traveling to Elmore for the last game of the season resulted in a satisfactory closing, the Reserves coming out on the long end of a 29 to 27 score. QAnd We Are Patriotic, Too Ever since Waite Hi became the proud possessor of an honest-to-goodness athletic stadium, it has been the envy among the other schools around the country and many would consider it an honor to send any kind of a team to Toledo to play Waite in the bowl. But they are due for some more surprises, for many an improvement is to be added to our home stamping grounds. The fellows and girls all recently dug down into their pockets for purses, as the case might bel and chipped in for the purchase of a Liberty Bond. The school now has about Sl,I50 and considerable interest to its credit. And the beauty of it all is that later on it will all be ex- pended on the improvement and equipment of our stadium. 168 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School Waite Girls in Gym Togs Not many years hence will girls' athletic activities receive almost as much consideration and interest as will those of the boys. At least, indications around the Waite gymnasium would so indicate. By taking a casual glance into our gym on any Wednesday or Friday afternoons such an opinion is readily formed. fYour friend, the sport editor, cannot exactly vouch for the truth of this, but such is the information imparted by one of the fairer sex., ' Every Wednesday and Friday each sophomore and freshman girl is com- pelled to spend one hour in the gym, where, under the instruction of Miss Arm- bruster and Miss Leclclider, they have training in marching, wand, and dumb-bell drills, and dancing. On Wednesday afternoon there is also an advanced class for juniors and seniors, in which the girls have marching, lndian club drills, folk and aesthetic dancing and basketball. At the close of the basketball season base- ball was substituted. On May l7th an exhibition was given. The main features of the event were dances, Indian club, dumb-bell and military drills, marching and a relay race, in which Margaret Roper captained the seniors, Catherine McClure the juniors, and Esther Gerber the sophomores. 169 Ninercmz-Eiglztrwlz Purple and Golzl-Plfaite High School - Our Basketball Girls The basketball teams of last season, which were coached by Miss Lecklider, were, without a doubt, the best ever produced atWaite by the girls, the first squad- winning five out of seven games and the second winning the only three games played. GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM The first team opened the season by defeating Toledo Normal in the Scott gym. by a score of 20 to IZ. ln the second games the purple and gold girlies showed them all up. They put over a stinging victory at the expense of a team composed of the best players from Scott, Normal and Toledo U. The final score was 20 to 9. The next game was with the strong Khu Phis of the Y. W. C. A., which went to the opponents after a close game, ending by a score of 8 to 7. On March Zlst our girls again received a surprise when they went down to defeat at the hands of the Scott five, with the West End school on the long end of a I0 to 6 score. The Waite girls were ahead' until the last two minutes of play in which time Munse, of Scott, tossed in two baskets. On the same day the Waite second team defeated Scott by a score of 3 to 2. From then on until the end of the season, the Waite first had little trouble in winning all games. On April 5th the Toledo U girls were beaten by a score of I2 to 6 in the Waite gym. On April 9th the girls met the Khu Phis for the second time and defeated them at the Y. W. M. C. by a score of I4 to 6. Both teams played their last games of the season on the same day, when Scott came over to Waite only to be defeated by both the first and second teams. g 170 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold--l'Vaite High School By winning these games the squads of l9l8 have the honor of being the lirst to defeat Scott in the history of the two schools. The Waite seconds also have a victory chalked up, which was the result of a beating handed a scrub team the score being 28 to 0. GIRLS' BASKETBALL SQUAD HOW THEY LINED UP.

It was commencement time. The rosebuds were bursting into bloom, the syringa bushes were swaying masses of white, a faint perfume of vanishing lilacs still lingered in the air. The tower bell toned eight. The hum in the auditorium grew fainter, then swelled into a deafening clapping of hands and roar of acclama- tions as the white-clad graduates filed upon the stage. No more inspiring or touching sight than the graduation exercises of St. Luke's Hospital could have been found, for on this night the service flag was enlarged by thirty-six stars: as each young woman in the full regalia of a nurse stepped up to receive her diploma, the reward of three long, hard years of study and work, she pinned a star on the service flag. This was the honor class of St. Luke's and each one of the fair young graduates had signed for eighteen months duty in war-torn France, duty which was to begin immediately. And the next morning they sailed. Thirty-six nurses are not many when the whole world' is crying aloud with pain. There are many places demanding help, many brave soldiers dying from insufficient care and one does not know where to begin the work of allaying the suffering and lightening the burden of war. So it was that the thirty-six nurses of St. Luke's were soon scattered far along the battle-fronq in field hospitals, close, too close almost for the safety of the hospital, behind the firing line, all except the youngest nurse in the company. They had sighed, the people in France, when-first they saw her. There was so much work to be done, such great strength and endurance needed, but she was so young, so delicate. So the young- est nurse was left behind in a base hospital, where the hours were just as long, just as strenuous and as all-absorbing, but where the work was less nerve-racking, less disheartening and where the patients were further along the road to recovery. ' Yet oftentimes, as she mopped the floors or changed the bandages of some war-worn poilu, she felt that she had been cheated. Oh, yes, she knew that she was needed here, that she had made a place for herselfg she had many friends among the patients, she had watched them die, had watched them go, pale but gleeful, out of the hospital door to return home for a short furlough before going again to the trenches, but she had never seen a man brought in, just from the thick of the battle, the roaring of cannon Was heard but faintly in her distant hospital, and she had been vaguely dissatisfied with her quieter and less glorious lot. Then, suddenly, all was changed! More and more men were rushed back to the base hospital, worse and' worse their condition, till at last the youngest nurse saw men who, twenty-four hours before, had been lying, cold, wounded and hungry, out on No lNIan's Land, awaiting the merciful stretcher-bearers. Then it was that the youngest nurse realized to the full the horrible agonies of war, and the realization made her heart-sick and soul-sick. The hospital was crowded' beyond its capacity and men were being discharged or sent to convalescent homes farther inland who should not have been Sent away for a full month more. All this was evidence that a great battle was in progress- the decisive battle of the war, perhaps. And no one realized it better than the 174 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School youngest nurse, so she struggled bravely with an ever-increasing weariness and worked steadily fifteen, eighteen hours a day, till suddenly, without any warning, she toppled over. , Heart fai-lure read the reportg overstrain said her they viewed' the fresh mound of earth in the churchyard n so quickly filling up. Again it was commencement time. Again the long graduates filed into the Auditorium of St. Luke's Hospital as eight. In the center of the stage was hung the beautiful stars. There were few new stars added this night for that very week, but there were a few going to France to through service. As the head surgeon stepped forward, a deep hush and he read in a moved tone, the letter, just arrived, telling of the death of the youngest nurseg then, amid profound silence, the service flag received a new star- the gold star of a life given for 175 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School 176 Nineteen-Eiglztern Purple and Gold-White Higlz School V y , M T H cfm-alla, 1 77 -14 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School PERICLEAN KNITTING TEA ' at the WOMAN'S BUILDING December Twenty-sixth, Nineteen Seventeen. The Alpha and Beta Chapters of the Periclean Literary Society enjoyed a knitting tea at the Woxnan's Building, December the Twenty-sixth. The society's colors, gold and white were used effectively in the large dining room, where over a hundred alumni, active members, critics and members of the faculty of Scott and VVaite High gathered informally. The program consisted ofviolin numbers by the Iliisses Pauline Brown and Neva Bierly, readings by the Ilflisses Bessey lVIartin and Lucretia Abbot, and vocal selections by IVIiss YVilhelmine Robson. At the tables pouring chocolate were the lVIisses lVIarion Dreyer, Helen VVright, Lucille Kelley and Ruth De N une. 178 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School ALUMNI ANNUAL GATHERING Given by the WAITE HIGH ALUMNI ASSOCIATION -at- WAITE HIGH SCHOOL December Twenty-seventh, Nineteen Seventeen An informal dance was enjoyed by the members of the Waite High School Alumni Association, December Twenty-seventh, at Waite High School. Ar- rangements were in the hands of John Ehrle '16, Gladys lVIiller '16 and Harold Nlorgan '15. After a short business meeting a buffet lunch was served followed by dancing. The Alumni bulletin giving the occupation and address of all the graduates who answered the invitations to attend, together with the honor roll of those in the service was distributed, and it was very interesting to find how widely the members were scattered over many states and over there. The following ollicers were elected for the year N inteen Eighteen: Presi- dent, VVilliam Bailey, '15, vice president, Elsie Rogers, '16, secretary and treas- urer, Donald Herringshaw, '17, 179 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Waite High School ANNUAL PARENTS RECEPTION -at- ' VVAITE HIGH SCHOOL January Fourth, Nineteen Eighteen.

A carnival in charge of the different organi- zations was greatly enjoyed. lWem'bers of Le Cercle Francais dressed in French costumes sold prize packages, While members of the Periclean Society sold candy at a Hag draped booth. Those who were interested in the Red Cross work heard a Hne talk by Bliss Goodall. The Zetalethean and Forum together presented a number of tableaux representing A Living lX'Iagazine containing an illustrated story, movie actresses and many advertisements. An exciting basket ball game between the Alumni and the Varsity was the important feature of the evening. 180 Nineteen-Eiglztfvn Purple and Gold-Waite High School 181 Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Pyaite High School IYIASK BALL Given by the FOUR LITERARY SOCIETIES ,O f- VVAITE HIGH SCHOOL in the GYMNASIUM October Twenty-seventh, Nineteen Seventeen Chaperones Mr Gregg Miss Boerger MF- Klag Miss Wales On the Twenty-seventh of October, Nineteen Seventeen, the social season of VVaite High School was opened by a Mask Ball given by the four Literary Societies, the Zetalethean, Forum, Periclean and Quill and Dagger.

The boys had been thinking about it and the girls had been talking for a long time. One boy, in' this class of a hundred jolly young people, was not sure whether he would enjoy Class Day or not. He was the son of a well-to-do farmer and he had attended the city school but one year. He had not made many friends, as he had always kept to himselfg therefore he had not become well acquainted with his classmates. . john Hawkins, for this was his name, shook his head mournfully and de- cided that if everyone else went he supposed he would have to go also. John possessed one trait that at one time was common, but that is now rare. Some call this trait a virtue, but others call it a fault. He was bashful. So bash- ful that he didn't dare to look at a girl directly. He could never talk to a girl, and he would walk a block to avoid meeting one of these creatures, for the pres- ence of a girl made him act like a dunce and feel utterly miserable. He was certain Class Day would be a day of agony for him. All they'll do all day is dance, dance, dance. I wouldn't dance for a hun- dred dollars a minute, he muttered to himself. He tried hard to make himself believe this, but in his heart he was jealous of the light-hearted boys and girls around him. A WVhen school was over on the day before Class Day, he hurried down to the garage, jumped into his roadster and' started for his home in the country. As he rode along, he noticed a girl walking alone on the sidewalk. His heart jumped when he recognized her. She was a classmate of his whom he had secretly wor- shiped for a long time, but he had never mustered up courage enough even to speak to her. He thought of stopping to ask her to ride with him. He even slowed down the carg but, in the pinch, his courage failed' him and he shot past her at full speed hoping that she would not recognize him. The next day adwned bright and sunny. John, having made up his mind to go, left home very early for the city. lt was a jolly crowd that took the boat for the island where they were to spend the day. Even John cheered up and seemed to be having a good time. During the afternoon John growing tired of watching the dancers, wan- dered down to the water. At this point no one is allowed to swim in the river on account of the powerful current. No canoes are used, and but few rowboats are for rent. He noticed, out in the river, a boatful of boys and girls. The man that had the boats to let turned to him and said. VVant a boat ? No-oo, er-yes, I believe l do, John replied. He rowed out into the channel where he found it impossible to make progress against the current. Be- fore he knew it, he was close to the boat holding his classmates. He recognized a girl at the stern as the one he had driven by the day before. A boy, further up in the boat, seemed to have something that she wanted, but he would not give it to her. Suddenly she stood up in the boat and reached towards him. She lost 187 l Nineteen-Eighteen Purple and Gold-Hfaite Higlz School her balance, and, though she tried to catch herself, she fell into the water utter- ing a loud scream. It was a miracle that the boat was not upset. When her head came to the surface, she was some distance down stream, the strong current carrying her rapidly along. John rowed his boat quickly to the spot, and kicking off his oxfords, he dived into the water. At first he could not find her, but finally he caught her and tried to keep her head above the water. The current made it extremely difficult to keep afloat. However, the otherpboat came quickly up and the unconscious girl after great effort was lifted into the boat. John was pulled in exhausted. A great crowd was at the dock when the drenched boy and girl were brought in and they were given immediate attention. Soon they were none the Worse for their exciting experience. The boys cheered John many times and they all insisted on shaking hands with him and patting him on the back. There was no danger of his wanting friends after that day. John was only human, consequently he could not help being pleased at the way the boys cheered him, but by far the greatest pleasure came to him when the girl he had saved gave him her hand and thanked him for what he had done for her. That evening she asked him to come to see her and meet her parents. That same night when he reached home, he realized that this had been the finest day he had ever spent. He also knew that from now on, with his many new friends, he would have many other days just as Wonderful as this had been. You may be sure that John Hawkins advises every Senior not to miss the picnic on Class Day. x., s-ss. si 188 Ninet2'en-Eighteen Purple and Gold Waite High School COJYC CQS 47' 'I I 1 Xxx 153' wb 4' W - lm- , 1' Ill!

If your task has been an especially ditlicult one, and, one in which you have put forth your best efforts to make it a success, all the pride of victory will surge over you like a great sea. VVl1en the burden of care has been lifted from your shoulders, you may be able to detect mistakes, but, nevertheless, the consciousness of having done your level best will still be there. In making this Annual we have aimed high, hopnig to surpass its predecessors by a wide margin, still by no means do we consider it worthy of dear old Waite. As for criticisms, there will be many, but, dear reader, 'when you care- fully peruse these pages, judge us leniently and consider whether you would have done as well under the circumstances.
