Their ball team was settled down in battle array to clean up their rival gang in a champeen game. Each little urchin, intent, silent, agressive, on his toes, ready to do or die in the sacred cause of his team, shouted occasional Words of encourage- ment to the sturdy little tad who was pitching- Stick it over, Red! Stick it over! And Red was doing his darndest. With all his little might and main, every nerve, muscle and brain cell in his little body--it seemed every red hair on his touseled head-were working in unison to stick it over. Over it went, too. The side retired-three runners were kept from scor- ing-the team's ability was proven. If some of the grown-ups would use all they had-they could Stick it over, too. We wish to thank the advertisers in this issue of Le Meilleur, be- cause they are men who helped us stick it over. Every one of them is worthy of your confidence and every one of them should receive a share of your patronage. Remember, that whatever you do for Wakarusa and her supporters, you do for the Wakarusa High School. 1t's your school. Help it along. Advertisers in other towns and cities have confidence in Wakarusa and her various industries, you, too, should have confidence in the old town. Twenty-nine

Everyone had a wonder- ful time, but a few of them got restless and motored to Elkhart. T'he party was chaperoned by Miss Knisley. Oct. 29th the Seniors were entertained at the home of Florence Strope. Everyone felt real peppy, and we had a regular time, Games and contests were features of the evening, but no one could beat Adam eating ice cream. March 8, half of the Senior class went to Elkhart, to have their pic- tures tooken. This seemed to be the least of their worries however, because-well, they have shows 'n everything in Elkhart and they didn't get home until six o'clock. March 9. The remainder of the class went to Elkhart for the same purpose. The facutly profited by past mistakes and sent a teacher along. As a consequence they arrived in time for the afternoon classes.

T e Purple And The old Although our school is not so large, Although the building's oldg Yet in our hearts We'll always love The purple and the gold. In basket ball, in track and all, No game Was ever soldg For we were fighting to uphold The purple and the gold. In every Week, in every day, Great things were often toldg How our team had won honors for The purple and the gold. Then when we've left and school is o'er, In memory still We holdg The good old days when We were with, The purple and the gold. Then when the building's down and gone, And years of time have rolled, Still in our hearts the same old love The purple and the gold. Herbert E. Sailor Thirty
