About three years ago some of the Sophomores began to think about putting out an Annual when they became Seniors. This idea did not grow rapidly, but still it was never forgot- ten. A short time after school opened in September, 1923 the climax came, andioh, such a time as I had coming to life! As the year ap- proached its close I grew and grew and all of the Senior Class became warmly attached to me. Within my covers of blue and gold you will find many attractions including faces familiar to all. I hope you will appreciate the history, poem, will and prophecy written by members of my family. Our cal- endar is a vivid reminder of varied experiences. The Alumni directory closely connects us with our older brothers and sisters. Athletics, jokes stories, and humorous pictures will be very entertaining to you. It is fitting for me to say here that a great deal of my success is due the different editors and other members of the Staff, especially the Advertising Manager, who made my debut possible by selling a large amount of space to my friends. Then too, I owe much to Mr. Edward Strope, who has been our sponsor for two years, and has worked faithfully for us in our struggle for success. I also appreciate the special help given by Miss Esther Searer, our Literary Critic, and I acknowledge the encouragement received from all members of the Faculty, and hope that I may be a joy to all. ' I now go forth hoping to be made welcome in every home. i Editor in Chief BEULAH DEFUR E.......

The work on the building was delayed and at the opening of school in the latter part of September, the work was still incomplete. So amid the sound of carpenters' saws and hammers, in the room now used by the Home hconomics classes the Wakarusa High School had its humble beginning. For several years previous a few high school subjects such as Algebra, Geometry, Commercial Arithmetic, General Science and Physical Geography had been taught by our most efiicient Grammar Grade teacher, J. W. Replogle. ln 1894 our trustee, H. Dell, secured the services of F. T. Atkinson as principal and instructed him to organize a high school. This was not an easy task but the pupils were classified and the work arranged in accordance with the state course of study. The first class graduated in 1898. Our high school was organized as a township school but after about six years it was taken over by the town and controlled by a school board. This organization was continued until the spring of 1923, when it again became a township school. After six years' service, F. T. Atkinson was succeeded in 1900 by W. H. Sims, who died in the spring of 1901. Willard Miller finished the work of this year and began teaching again in September, but his term of service was ended by his death. A. C. Steele next took up the work and taught until the spring of 1906. Lola Beatty, L. M. Culp, Julia Beecher, and llflyrtle Troyer assisted at various times dur- ing this period. H. Brinson succeeded lWr. Steele and served until 1911. He was ably as- sisted by Dan Nye, Burton Yarian, H. L. Stump, and Vernon Schwalm. From the beginning, literary work was encouraged, but attained its highest mark during the period from 1906 to 1911. Special attention was given to music and art under the direction of Mabel Swartzg and debating and public speaking were empha- sized. School spirit and class loyalty reached a high temperature and one class guarded its colors all night. ln 1911 Herbert Hollopeter was Superintendent and was followed the next year by A. Miller. S. L. Scoles came to us in 1913 and remained five years. He in- troduced the subject Home Economics. The Nlanual Training work was strongly emphasized and the Ari: work under the supervision of Mabel Fisher was excellent. In 1918 Nlalinda VVerntz headed the faculty, which for the most part consisted of ladies, as this was during the world war period. Charles Sunthimer had charge of our schools then for three years, from 1919 to 1922. A Dramatic Club was organized at this time and under its direction a high school play is given each year. The last two years C. J. Gerber has been at the head of our schools. Our attendance has increased gradually until it reached 143 during the present Our Faculty numbers seven and the prospects are good for a new building and increased opportunities for another year.

Ujakarusa EHS. -Sue and End E - 1924 Senior Class Historq ULAUNCHING THE SHIPH In September, 1920, twenty-one freshmen boarded the good ship Education, in the waters: of Wakarusa High School. After the ship was christened, the following crew was elected: Pilot, Pauline Gore g Assistant Pilot, lnah Miller, Purser, Dorothy Brown, and Captain, Miss Searer. The Tug Faculty then towed the ship out into thc deeper waters of Fame where we came in contact with the Sophomore, Junior and Senior Ships. We struggled for many days to avoid them. The name Freshmen, soon wore off and in due time we showed our colors, blue and gold. In April the Pilot spied in the distance a beautiful island. As we drew nearer we recognized it as the Island of Vacation. After a few days of strenuous effort in com- pleting some work for certain reports we all left the ship expecting to return the follow- ing year to continue our course. The next year we boarded the Sophomore Ship with the addition of Beulah Defur and the loss of one Carl Buzzard, who having received enough of the voyage, boarded the Ship of Labor. The following officers were elected: Pilot, Paul Stropeg Assistant- Pilot, Beulah Defurg Purser, Gladys Shank, and Captain, Miss Byler. About the middle of this year's voyage one crew member, Bernice Miller, was added to our num- ber. Our next year, on the Junior Ship, was a successful one. Richard VVagner with- drew from the membership and Treva Sailors and Bernice Miller disembarked at some port along the way. We organized again. For Pilot, Paul Strope was re-elected, As- sistant-Pilot, Dorothy Brown, Purser, Dove Pletcher and Captain, llflr. Strope. Much was accomplished on this voyage. A Banquet of Success was given to the members on board the Senior Ship. We chose as our Motto: HHe Conquers Who Enduresf' The crew decided upon the Hoosier Beauty Rose as their favorite flower. At last our hearts were joyful, for we too could be called a Senior crew and could poke our oars of Fun and Scorn at the Freshmen following in our path. Devon Huns- berger did not board the ship, but Paul Huber embarked from another port, making the crew of 1924, eighteeen members strong. The following crew members were elect- ed: Pilot, Paul Stropeg Assistant-Piot, Homer Hahn, Purser, Gladys Shank, and Captain, Mr. Strope. After a few weeks voyage the crew met on the Deck of Plans. A large wave of Progress washed fifteen of the crew overboard. The crew left on board put out life- boats. Each one struggled to get into the boats and finally succeeded. They had been adrift four days hungering and thirsting for Knowledge. An Education Magazine of the Voyage was decided to be written by the crew after much controversey. . One member, Pauline Gore, boarded the ship of Marriage, but did not give up casting her lot with us for the rest of the voyage. Later on another, Inah Miller, became very seasick and put in at the port of Frederick. Our Pilot resigned his position and after several days of rough and stormy sailing the crew elected Homer Hahn and Jerald Weaver, Assistant-Pilot. Toward the end of the voyage a play of Experience was ,given and banquets of Triumph were enjoyed. We entered the harbor of Success and the Tug Faculty were on the Pier of Wel- come ready to greet us. Medals of,Bravery were bestowed upon us and we were re- joicing greatlyg truly, now we were ready to embark into the gerater waters-the Waters of the World of Life.

The years have come and gone, Our happy school days doneg Now into life we're ushered out, To the struggle just begun. The parting of the ways we see, Where each must choose his task. The world is calling such as we, To be the best is what we ask, Good enough should never do. For such brave youths as we Not satisfied to rest on ofirs, Strive always best to be. He conquers who enduresn we've said, Cur motto it has been, May it guide url ever in the fight. The fight we're in to win. Short years we've been together, For time isa ever on the wing, And. we had never dreamed What time would to us bring. VVith joys and sorrows blended Will these happy days recallg The hours we've spent in dear olrl High Will bring mem'ries best of all. Our teachers and our classmates, The things both said and done, Remain as priceless treasures Until liters set of sun. When through with the school of life, Our,last diploma won, , May' we hope to meet again And hear God's great k'Well Done! Then here':s to our Alma lVIater, To Wakarusa High School dear, Here's to her colors purple and goldg Onward to glory, year by year.

Esther Smrer '10 21 lD.l-1.5. Blue and Go cl 1924 Class Prophc-:cu One evening as the gray shadows spread over the plains, I was sitting alone before the fireplace in our little shack on our claim in Wyoming. Dorothy had gone to the city for a three weeks' supply of groceries and the mail. I started from my mus- ing as l heard Dorothy shouting to her hroncho outside. ln a few minutes she burst into the room with her arms tull and all excited over a special delivery package. Being old maids and never receiving much mail, we were very anxious to know what the package contained. Hasti.y opening it, to our surprise, we found it to be the chain letter our class had started when we graduated from W'akarusa High School ten years ago. Forgetting our household duties for the next hour we busied ourselves in read- ing the most interesting missives we had received in many a day. The first one happened to be from Jerald and Earl, and as we read it, how anxious we were to learn what the others: had in store for us. After we had read and enjoyed every one of them, we thought it would he nice to pass them on to you. So here goes: Hello Evlhodyx- UAm yo' all as yo' was tu be? llle and Joe is.

Your true friend, ' OLEN HARTMAN Dear Classmates, As I was directing my group of boys this evening, a thrill ran through my body as they played Home Sweet Home. The song brought memories of old school days to me. I am now at St. Paul directing a famous band which was formerly the Wakarusa High School Band. Life for me is always at its best. Regards to all, ELDON WELDY Dear Friends, You cannot imagine the delight in getting a letter from my old classmates. I entered Chicago University and became infatuated with a cabaret dancer. Of course I squandered most of my college days in the attempt to win her love. VVe became en- gaged, but just as we were going to church to be married her husband appeared on the scene. This ended one important act in my life drama. At present I am located in Mars getting news items on the newly discovered Laughing Gas . It surely is a great life.

I was married to Alvin Shank last June and we are just as happy as can be. He owns a large bank here in New York and I am Dean of Women in Columbia University. I often think of the good times we had at school, but I guess those days are gone forever. Loyal classmate, DOVE PLETCHER Dear Friends: I own a lNIen's Hair Dressing Parlor in Virginia. I was just looking at a picture of our class. Don't the boys look funny with short hair? It's a good thing men wear their hair long now or I wouldn't have a trade. lVIy business consists of powdering and curling hair and selling fancy hair-ribbons for bows. With best wishes.

Some came up from the eighth grade, where they had been engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdom, some were green and fresh from the country, and some were from other halls of instruction. In these days our number increased until we were forty-eight. As we entered this land we were received with wild welcomings and rejoiciings, by those whom it was decreed should henceforth lead us up the slippery ways and by-ways of knowledge. Likewise we were received with malicious glee by a certain band of wild beings, who were called Sophomores and because of their fierce taste for Freshmen blood, pounced upon us daily and mightily and did cause us to suffer great things and to say in our hearts Behold, lxessed be the name of Education, for because of it we have endured great torments, both of mind and body. Yea, verily, have we been martyrs to this great and n0b'e causefl Finally we got our bearings and ventured to call a class meeting. The following officers were elected: President, Robert Bechtel, Vice-President, Harvey Werner, Secretary and Treasurer, Mary Billman. After some months our ey es turned toward graduation, but many with one consent begand to make excuses. The first said, I am in poor health, therefore I cannot graduate. Another said, I must toil at home, therefore I cannot graduate. A third said, I am dull. and cannot learn, I pray you have me excusedff Thus our class decreased until the complete number at .the end of the first year of our abode was thirty-nine. Now it came to pass that at the beginning of our second year's sojourn, a new band of youth entered this land and feeling the new dignity of promotion and remembering the days of our greenness, and as the Sophomores had done to us in their day, so we pounced upon these new Freshmen, showing no mercy unto their s if- feringi: and giving no heed unto their lamentations. Again we called a class meeting and chose the following leaders: President, Owen Leonard, Vice-Presidnt, Richard Freedg Secretary and Treasurer, lldary Billrnan. we selected CrQmton and White as our Class Colors. At the beginning of the Junior year we numbered twenty-two. Quite early our class got together and elected the following officers: President, Owen Leonardg Vice-President, Paul Hostetlerg Secretary and Treasurer, Mabel Pepple. Now it was long ages before this time that a certain warrior of much skill, Julius Caesar, turned with worthy intent to conquer the people of the land of Gaul. Those around him murmured and said, Cease thy vain ambition. O mighty man of war, You can never cross the Alps. But he swelled his chest and lifted his head and with no vain boasting, made utterance, There will be no Alps, and went on to certain victory. So we Jolly Juniors decree that there 'shall be no Alps' for us. MARY BILLMAN, '25 lliakarusa 31 U11-1.5.

It was examination day and many of the boys were having a hard time of it Now it happened that on this eventful day the pet dog of the small boys had in some way become inspired with the desire to acquire an education and accordingly had followed. his little master to school. But as Providence would have it another dog was inspired with the same inspiration on the same morning and came with his master to the same school. Two dogs on the school ground! School was called. The dogs were left outside to enjoy each others company. The hoys inside set to work on their examination. Shortly howls and whining reached their ears. The boys with one accord started for the door. This proved to be their salvation for the boys from their examination. There followed a period of great activity for the dogs and teacher especially. The teacher whacked every boy within reach of himself with his ever ready whip. Soon one of the dogs had enough of the argument and showed his tail colors. Then the owner pulled off his coat to avenge the defeat on the owner of the victorious dog. Just at that moment the shoolmaster interfered, gave the boys a sound thrashing, and sent them all back into the schoolroom to resume their examination.

B ue and Go d 1924 Sophomore Class Historq One day in September, 1922, a group of lively boys and girls entered upon their high school careers in the Wakarusa High School. As Freshmen the class was organized and the following oHicers were elected: President, Foran Maurerg Vice-President, Harold Rohrerg Secretary, Lulu Fletcher: Yell leader, Olive Rohrerg Sponsor, Supt. C. J. Gerber. Later in the year the American Beauty rose was selected as class Hower and purple and gold as class colors. Kenneth Shutts from our class was a member of the cast of Safety First , the play given by the High School Dramatic Club. In 1923 we returned to school as Sophomores with our ranks considerably dim- inished. At present our ofhcers are as follows: President, Joe Parcellg Vice-President, Ray Shank, Secretary, Virginia Freed, Sponsor, llliss Esther Searer. Our Colors have been changed to coral and ash. We purchased a pennant, which now adorns the wall. in the North Room. Our arm bands were surely appreciated. A number of our boys take an active part in athletics. Our class won the school championship in Basket Ball. Our motto is Work and Winl' and we will undoubtedly be heard from in the future. PAULINE WEAVER '25 Friclaq the Thirteenlh The final practice was over and the boys of the Athletic team of the Waveland High School noisily rushed away. Two boys, Jack Colby and Paul Jewett, lingered in the building waiting for Ralph Baxter, who was always slow in dressing. They were busy discussing the coming events of the coming Saturday, and their chances of winning in their contest with a neighboring school. Their conversation took a turn, however, and they became so interested that they failed to see several girls enter the next room, the door of which was open. The girls, hearing voices, naturally paused a moment and would not have been guilty of eaves-dropping had not their curiosity been aroused by hearing their names mentioned. You can't expect Louise to put off her birthday, can you ? said Paul emphatically. 0hl of course not, replied the other, but ten chances to one it will rain anyway, and on Friday, the thirteenth of the month besides. There really is no knowing what awful things may happen. Well, since it is nothing more important than a girls' silly picnic, you should worry, said Paul. If our track meet came on Friday, the thirteenth, l'd throw up my hands in despair. Ralph Baxter appeared just in time to hear the last few words. Well I'll be jiggeredl What's this I hear? How long since you two have turned supersititious ? Hello Ralph , said Paul, so you are finally dressed. HWell we'll leave it to you and see what you'll say. lliakarusa - - - 35 lD.H.S. B ue and Go d 1924 You know about the picnic to be given by your sister on her birthday. We've just discovered that it occurs not only on the thirteenth, but on Friday as well. and on that day. They're such Fraid Cats , you know. Jack thinks it should be postponed. We are sure none of the girls would want to go N'onsensel said Ralph. Don't be too sure about that. They may not be as silly as you think. Besides, they may not think of the coincidence unless you speak of it. Perhaps you boys are afraid to go. Oh, nol We're not exactly afraid, said Jack, but l'm sure everybody would feel more comfortable if we would choose another day, especially as our trip will be by water and you know sailors are very superstitious about this very subjectf, Ralph then said, l'm sure that my sister for one is too sensible to take notice of this foolish nonsense and besides there will be more than thirteen in the crowd. Well, just as you say, replied Jack, but l'm quite certain the boys would never try their luck against Northhaven on that day.', The question being settled, the boys left the building in happy ignorance of the fact that their little dialogue had been overheard, and by the very girl too whose birth day was to be celebrated. Louise Baxter and her companions watched the boys leave the building and then proceeded to givt vent to their feelings in more ways than one. How perfectly horrid of the boys to try to spoil our picnic, and I for one am determined to brave a dozen Thirteens rather than let them know we care. said Louise. We second the motion, chimed the other girls. Friday morning dawned bright and fair, and the gay party. laden with the ne- cessarv equipment, gathered at the boat landing. Soon they were on board the liaxters' launch, headed fo ran island, their destination. No -toner had they started than some one mentioned the fact that, since Hugh Jackson .uid his sister were unable to join them, there were just thirteen in the crowd. Louise Baxter very innocently said, And, oh, what do you think? lt's Friday and the 'Thirteenth'l Isn't that too jolly for anything ? The boys ventured to look sideways at each other and were somewhat taken bacl-1 by the calm manner with which the girls received the announcement. Needless to say, the day ended and the party returned to their homes without '1 single unpleasant occurrence to mar the pleasure of the day. Saturday, the big day for the boys of Waveland High, did not end quite as had been anticipated. To begin with, a slow rain dampened their courage and quenched their high spirits. The ball game was the event in which their boys were sure to win. Alas! As the game was Well advanced in Waveland's favor, the pitcher sprained his wrist and the game was lost. ln each succeeding event of the contest, some unforseen misfortune met them, until at last the long looked for day ended in defeat for Waveland. lt was a discouraged and crestfallen crew that reached their home town that night Each member tried in vain to locate the cause of their defeat. The girls, having tried hard to show their sympathy, could not resist a telling shot, and one, more bold than the rest, said, Allow us to suggest that the date of your next years Athletic Meet be 'Friday, the thirteenth'.

It was most bright and sunshiny out of doors and in the heart of each Fresh- man there was not only joyous anticipation but also a clou dof anxiety because of what the day might bring. This was the first day in High School and universtlly known as a most trying ordeal for all unsophisticated Freshmen. Though all the former pupils taunted and jeered at them, each Freshman's cour- age came back as he saw fifty-eight others as green as himself flocking about him. Soon signs of class spirit and pep became manifest. A class meeting was held and an organization resulted. The following ofiicers were chosen: President, Harold Ritterg Vice-President, David Huber, Secretary, Virginia Green: Treasurer, Beulah Werner, Sergeant at Arms, Ildaurice Doeringg Sponsor, Mr. W. R. I-Ioldeman. Our Class Colors, black and gold, were decided upon a weekl later and in a month arm bands were worn and the pennant was put up. Several class parties were held after which all reported a good time, for no one could conceive of such a jolly bunch having less than the very best. We are all looking forward to a happy and profitable school career. The days ahead loom bright- Aside we cast our fear, This class will yet be the best That e'er has graduated here. Mama. s'1'RoP1c, '27 Freshman IDC-:iner Roast At one of the first class meetings of the year, the Freshmen decided to have a Weiner roast. It was planned for the evening of Friday, September the seventeenth. After Mr. Holdeman, our sponsor, and all the members of the class who were expected had arrived, We went into the school house and played games. In a short time the lights went out and we were forced to go outside where we continued play- ing. By this time our appetites were sharpened so we proceeded to build a bonfire and roast weiners. What fun we had. Mr. Holdeman does not Want any one to question about who ate the most of the roasted things. In the light of the dying embers we enjoyed a few more games and then departed for home. We had a delightful time and one long to be remembered. , VIRGINIA GREEN, '27 I ' ' ' ' ' lliakarusa- - - 39 -HJ 50 U2.H.-5. B ue and Go d 1924 The Curriculum There is a growing conviction among those most concerned with the public high school, a conviction manifesting itself increasingly in practice, that relatively few high school studies are of such importance as to be required of all pupils. The best' thought and best practice are increasingly toward the limitation of high school re-- quirements to such as those tal That deal with the fundamentals of the English lan- guage and literature, tbl That make a dehnite and direct contribution to citidenship and social efficiency, fcj That deal with materials of common need, and Cdl That contribute to the physical well-being. The curriculum should be made to fit the student and not the student to fit the curriculum. This has been practically impossible in the past but the future promises to take care of the situation in a more pedagogical manner. There should be a reason- able offering of elective studies, however these must be limited according to the size of the school, the teaching staff available, the character of the school population. and the financial resources of the community. A rural high school in a community such as Wakarusa should offer as electives in addition to those offered at present: two years in Home Economics and Home Making, at least two years in Agriculture with farm shop work, a course in Mechanics, one year in Manual Training, a Commercial course offering book-keeping and type writing, a course in Bible, and one year in elementary Chemistry. Due to overcrowded conditions the Faculty has been unable to offer Man- ual Training the last two years and only one year in Home Economics and Agrlcul- ture. With the above mentionsed additions to our present program, a student will be able to select a course of study suitable to the occupation which he or she intends to fol- low after finishing high school. A student desiring to enter a University to finish a course in the field of science, such as chemical or electrical engineering, pharmacy, or medicine will be handicapped without the course in elementarv Chemistry. ln many Universities it is necessary for the student Cwho has had no Chemistryj to complete the elementary course along with his advanced course, thus giving the student extra duties which may result in failure in several subjects. The commercial subjects will help to fit the student for business and office work, in that way giving them a special earning capacity upon graduation. In the same manner a course in mechanics sometimes helps a boy to know himself and prepare him- self for immediate service. Boys inclined toward mechanics are often kept in school for a longer period than they would otherwise remain in order to gain more knowledge of mechanics which may make them more useful. A large percent of the boys and girls in a rural community remain on the farm or at least in the rural district. lt should be their privilege to receive as much know- ledge about the things they are to work with as possible. The study of agriculture will not only keep a greater percent of the boys on th farm, but it will also make them more efficient in their work. They can learn to find pleasure in their labor bv having a broader understanding of nature and the things with which they are to work. The one great aim of the public school should be to develop the best possible type of citizenship. C. J. GERBER Ulakarusa- - .- - .. . 42 U71-1.5. Bue and Qocl - I Ezfi The Experience of a Citq Bog One day a little boy went to the country to visit his uncle. He Was from a very large city where he had never had a chance to see anything grow. His mother placed him on the train, told him to stay wide awake, watch every- thing, to lea.rn all he could, and that his uncle would be at the station to meet him. While on the train he looked out of the window seeing wheat and other products in their glory for this was harvest time. Now the uncle needed someone to help him, so he thought he would have his nephew spend his vacation with him and help him with his work. As the train carrying our boy rolled along, the boy could hardly keep quiet. He longd to talk to some person and ask them some questions. Once he ventured to ques- tion the conductor, but he not knowing the answer or something of that sort turned away from the boy. The boy in deep thought. At last the train stopped most forgot his suit case. He began to ask questions. The rived home. After a short drive they took his seat with a heavy heart and sat for a long time at the last station. He was in such a hurry that he al- met his uncle as he stepped off the train and immediately uncle said he would not answer questions until they ar- reached the country home of the uncle. A cousin came running out to meet this city cousin. Barefooted, dirty-faced, sunburned and some- what raggedly clad, the city boy looked upon this country cousin as if he never was so- shocked at anything in his ife. But the day was so warm that before very long the city boy decided he would remove his shoes and cool his feet. Then they decided to run a race. The race was on, but after the country boy was quite a way down the road he looked back and there was the city boy sitting on a stone by the roadside rubbing his bare feet. As he had never before been bare footed out of doors, the grass, pebbles and dry dust hurt his tender feet. The country boy came back laughing at the tenderfoot who was almost in tears. After ten or fifteen minutes the city boy put on his shoes with a firm decision in his mind to run no more races. Then they went to look at the farm animals. The country bov had pets-a lamb and a calf-which he took care of with much pride. When they entered the nastuze ots these nets came running to give their greeting but the city bov ran for the fence and cried, Keep them away! He had never seen such animals and being fright- end he would not move from the fence until the animals were taken from his sight In the evening time when milking time came the city boy wanted to see how :nilk was made. He watched the hired men milking the cows. His mouth and eyes were open with wonder. At last he said, I thought milk came from bottles. At last bedtime came for these country people but the city boy was not ready to go to bed. He was used to going to shows or parks or some other place of entertiain- ment every night and not going to bed until suite late. Everything was so quiet, no street cars flying past, no trains, none of the things he had ben accustomed to hear. He lay in bed thinking what a queer world this really was after all. ln an hour or so he fell asleep. When he awoke the house was quiet. The sun was brightly shining in at the window of the room where he lay. He called his countrv cousin but received no ans- wer. Louder rang out his call and yet no reply. Finally jumping up and looking about he found out that the country boy was nowhere in the house. He rushed about and after finding his aunt in the garden hoeing, he learned that his uncle and cousin were out in the field working at the grain. lliakarusa . . 43 10.1-1.5. B ue and Go d 1924 Quite bewildered at this he hastily ate the breakfast fat ten olclockb which his aunt had prepared for him, and then set out for the field. As he came within hearing distance he heard such shouts as Quite a farmer you are! and Come on gum drop, we're waiting! The city boy walked slowly along but at last came up to where they were work- ing. He busied himself by asking innumerable questions, all of which created laughter among the men because of their seeming simplicity. Noontime came and went and another day wore on into the night. Days came and went and at last vacation was over. When the city boy left for his home the country boy felt that he had learned something by his cousin's visit and the city boy said he felt well repaid for the time he had spent in the country. BLANCHE MYERS, '24 Be Honest One day Senator Loop and Senator Wood met in the Hotel La Salle, Chicago They were both quite pleased to meet each other. 'fPleased to meet you, said Mr. Loop. How,s the old world treating you ? Well, good as can be expectedu replied lVIr .Wood. 'fWhen I left Washington yesterday morning I was the happiest man on earth. Let's have an explanation. You look so downhearted. Did you have some mis- fortune ? To be sure , replied Mr. Wood.

Say do you mean to insinuate and run down my reputation ? shouted Mir. Wood Not at all, not at all! f'Then explain yourself, lVIr. Loop. Very well , he replied, Do you remember when you lectured for liquor in my country? That was the time you ruined your career in the Senate, and showed your strongheadednessf' I sure do , replied Senator Wood. But what was wrong in what I said P A great deal. To bring liquor to the front would mean the downfall of the standards of our countryfl Why INIr. Loop, don't you know they are smuggling it in every day along the borderez and the eastern coast ?', I agree, but what would it mean to release the ban on liquor? It would mean the destruction of thousands of homes and young livesf, This is a free country, and I think a man should be permitted to have what he wants. Yes-and-no-I' Senator, to bring liquor into our country would not endanger homes and lives any more than to allow the oil scandal to go unsettled, which you are in favor of doingf' 'fln favor of-what do you mean ? I mean if this oil scandal isn't settled, there will be more fake oil companies ap- pearing and rich rren will spring up over night like you did. . Do you mean to say that I gained my wealth from such sources ? HI have grounds for it. , , , Prove that statement.

Then by spending one thousand dollars, you gained your free, dom from serving a prison sentence. That's a liel at that time I was in Cuba.

So far one amendrrent has been made to the constitution, namely, all righ school students having an average of B plus in scholarship and in deportment at the close of the Hrst month of the first semester are eligible to membership. This club gives students an opportunity to develop dramatic talent which would otherwise he negected. One play is given every year and the proceeds from this play are divided among the four classes, share and share alike, providing each of said classes have at least one member in the Dramatic Club.

'llhis Club was organized rather late in the semester at the suggestion of lVIr. Strope. The nine members are students of the Physics class. lt was a mutual banding together of pupils and teachers. to create a greater interest in the physical sciences and promote better class work in the daily class periods. By so doing, and by bending un- tiringg efforts toward this science, the members have gained valuable information which would otherwise they might never have received. The club made several tours to nearby cities to study steps along various lines that science has made. As a class they have succeeded in performing laboratory experiments of conisder- able difficulty and have recorded exceptionally good results. They were especially interested in wrecking certain machines and apparatus to tix certain principles more firmly in their minds. lllakarusa +8 U7.H.S. - Blue and Gzd 1922 The Latin Club Bark Row-Gladys Shank, lvladge Flory, Miss Searer, Mary Billnian, Dorothy Brown.

The Hi-Y Club of VVakarusa was organized with thirty-two members. This club if- called Hr-Y to indicate its relation to the High School and of its leadership by the Young Men! Christian Association. The purpose oi this: organization is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, a high standard oi Christian character. The slogan of this club and all other Hi-Y clubs is Clean living, clean scholarf ship, clean speech and clean sports. This club has been organized about three months, and it was decided that students from the four classes of the senior high school are eligible to membership. Thus the enrollment has increased considerably. The Club has already formed a Bible study class and has had a Father and Son banquet. We are expecting much from this club in the future. lDake1rusa 50 u7.H.5.

Paul Straps Serretary- Treasurer -- W - ..... ....,....... R ichard Freed The Wzikarusa High School Athletic Association for the year 1924 was organiz- ed the first week of September, 1923. The same constitution and amendments were adopted as for other years. One of the reasons for organizing was in order that prop- er care and attention might be given to the financial part of the high school games played during this year. Since our association is a member of the State Association our school is permitted to play all other schools belonging to that Association, in anv form of athletics, which may be arranged between the schools. All members are re- quired to pay a fee of twenty-lve cents a semester as membership dues. Anyone not a member is not allowed to participate in any athletics. The membership totaled forty- one paid up members. Athletic games were first introduced and highly developed by the Greeks, who paid much attention to the care of their bodies. The term athletics has been applied to contests of physical skill and endurance for the development of bodily strength and pastime. Many people are opposed to athletics in the schools, for they have the conception that the boys think more about their sports than they do about their regular school work. These people have the wrong idea about this for they are not aware of the fact that there are certain standards of scholarship to which students participating in ath- letics must attain or be prevented from taking part. This year the scholastic standing of our teams has been higher than ever before. It is through athletics that the minds of students are refreshed and strengthened because they are made to think quickly and clearly. Since mental development is one fo the results of athletic training, by all means Athletics should be included in the cir- riculum as well as other subjects. Our school does not have a gymnasium as most of the other schools, but we are now looking forward to the time in the near future when we shall have a new gym- nasium and have equal opportunities with neighboring schools. 1Dakai-usa i 't -- -.

Strope, Paul Parcell, Paul Hostetler, Paul Strope, Carl Huns- berger. Homer Grove, Mr. Gerber. For the past eight or nine years, basket ball has been a favorite sport in Waka- rusa. Due to the lack of a gymnasium in which to play our boys have not had and do not have the chance which other schools can afford. They make up for it by their speed, accurate passing, and science of shooting baskets. Our team has been handicapped this year to some extent, because some of the first team regulars, for a few years past, were taken out by graduation. The basket ball season was opened by a contest for class championship. The Freshmen played against the Sophomores and the Juniors against the Seniors. The Sophomores won a victory from the Freshmen with a score of 2 to 12, the Juniors won over the Seniors with a score of 8 to 5. The next contest was held between the Juniors and Sophomores and the Sophomores carried off the honors with a score of 8 to 5. Through the kindness of Nappanee high school our boys have been granted the privilege of practicing on the Poor of their gymnasium. The team has been defeated several times but their spirit is still aflame. hluch of the success of the season is due to our coach, Mr. Strope. who devoted much of his time and effort to make this a successful basket hall year for Wakeriisa High School He has done much to develop young timber, which can be trained and molded into a promising team in a short time in a new gymnasium. lllakarusa 4- . .

Elkhart won the sectional tournament and thus the privilege to enter the regional tournament at Fort Wayne. Q If you were to judge the success of our teams in basket ball by a study of games played the rating would be low. However, if you were to consider that our boys were handicapped because of the lack of a good gymnasium, much credit must be given for the light they have put up and the spirit they have maintained against such odds. Let's boost for a new gymnasium. lllakarusa ' . 60 1-l2TH.S. - - Euelancl God ' - - 1924 High School Baseball Paul Hostetler, Capt., Carl Hunsberger, P. Paul Strope lst Baseg Richard Freed S.

The high school has developed a strong baseball team through constant practice There are a number of new men on the team because some of last year's players wcrc graduated. We had to travel a mile to our baseball diamond for practice and games. Last fall we played a few games but without much success. We are looking forward to the spring season of 192-1' as a great baseball season. Teams Place of Games Winner Score Wi. H. S. Jamestown. Jamestown ........ Jamestown --- 0-6 W. H. S. Jamestown.

One reason for this is the fact that a team is not organized until just a short time before the con- test, thus not permitting of sufllcicnt practice to make a strong team. The contest will be held in April on the Goshen High School Athletic field and the W. H. S. is determined to make a good showing for 1924. TENNIS A city tournament in tennis was decided upon and played rather late in the seas- on. A singles and doubles tournament was arranged. The final ldoubles' match was not played on account of the inclement weather. Among the number entered in the tournament were two High School teachers and four students from the Junior and Senior Classes. Another tournament is being planned for next year before the tennis season is over and the weather unfit for playing.
