University of W isconsin SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1922, a group of ignorant upstarts enlisted in the army of the Blue and White, which was struggling vigorously to gain those things which are beneficial in later life. The capable leaders of the army planned four main drives against the enemy, ignorance, one of which was to take place each year. During the first year, victory was met on every hand and to celebrate tbis, social events were held. In this war as in any other, some lives were lost in the very first drive. During the second year of the war, the army was in very high spirits though the number was somewhat less. By this time, however, it was far superior to what it had been the first year. Due to the capable leaders, which lead it, the Forts of Geometry,' English, Latin, History, and many others were easily captured. The third year found the army in no less degree of spirits than the second year. During this year’s attack, the enemy was defeated on every hand. The opposing forces were so shattered that it looked for a time as if the enemy had retired from the field; but, to their surprise, they found they still had a few battles left to win. However, the army was so jubilant over their victories, that one large social event was held, the Junior-Senior Banquet. Due to the favorable outlook, four new members enlisted, who were equally skilled in experience. This year the battles were much harder but, nevertheless, they were encountered without fear. The army was again successful and thus the enemy was defeated. Although they were jubilant over their victorious encounters, nevertheless, much sadness fell upon them. They were now to bid goodbye to the good, old W alnut High, which had so trained them to win all of their battles. t78Yir7svir7iii?ir? r7s r7rtr7sfir r?4ftr7 y«i -.’ i«y tiSiJivsy-: Li io i « j ivsvj-.vsi.' i v yj sx ;v y !

Page twenty-two aaggig SR CLASS PROPHECY MEMOIRS OF RALPH KOFOED It was on a quiet and sunshiny day in that beautiful summer of 1953 that I walked leisurely along in the shade of Clayton’s Grove. I had my “OT Marier” with me, and carried her with all the pride and affection of Solomon Binkus. Folks often wondered at my peculiar actions for, since that memorable accident in the Walnut High School laboratory back in ’26, 1 had perhaps become odd; 1 was truly a dreamer, a lover of solitude, a Rip Van Winkle sort of person who seemingly lived in another world of beauty and leisure. As I was saying before, the day was pleasant with a peculiar lazy influence hovering in the air that settled upon a person whenever he stopped. My nose (for that was what I was following) led me to a great and beautiful Walnut Tree, standing on the edge of Walnut creek. Desiring a little rest, I placed my gun against the tree and, seating myself, soon fell into a doze. The thing that makes this day important is the dream that flashed through my flightly brain as I drifted in sl’umberland. I see it today as plainly as ever. The nuts on the tree ripened and Fate, a squirrel, played carelessly upon a branch marked ’26. The shaking of the branch caused a nut to fall. Immediately it began to grow. Yes; not into its own kind, but rather into a beautiful red aster. As I looked into the flower, what did I see? It was the face of my dearest friend, Clarence Ganschow, who was the first to explore Mars. Another nut fell, grew, and bloomed into an American Beauty Rose in which 1 could distinctly see the face of Gretta Livey, twice chosen Miss America. The squirrel frisked lively about upon the branch, shaking off more and more nuts. Each of these grew into a different kind of flower, and in each flower 1 could see the face of one of my old classmates back in Walnut High School. Beside me appeared Marvin Winger in the form of a golden rod. He had gone into the clothing business, and had gained a pile of gold buillion as high as his head, but not his ideals). A vine grew up and wound itself about my gun. This vine bloomed into a morning glory and as quickly faded just as Clifton Whitver had faded from his brilliant career in the profession of law. The next flower to attract my attention was a pretty little buttercup; in it I saw Fannie Mae Strouss making and selling the finest butter ever placed on the market. A little'v iolet sprang up on the bank of the creek, and immediately brought to my mind the era of good feeling in Illinois; Iva Fordham had been its successful governor for eight years. A little jack-in-the-pulpit stood before me proclaiming the beauty of God just as Wilbur Hopkins did on Sunday morning at church. One walnut had dropped in the edge of the creek. It quickly sprang up into a wild iris which represented Wilford Bradley’s lawless and belligerent actions due, no doubt, to his Irish blood. I saw in a bachelors button the trials of Irvin Hasenyager ' Page twenty-three •nj ini 3 10 0 335-10 8 8 8 3$ mending' his clothes. It is to be regretted that (iod denied him a better half. Orville Plum, famous dairy farmer, and his gold medals made a conspicuous appearance in the shape of a yellow cow-slip. A fern with its outstretched and orderly branches showed the power of Clark Hasenyager who is president of the Ferndall Products Company. A fox glove of rare size attested the success of George Fisher who sold gloves made of genuine fox hide (so he says). Perhaps strangest of all. is Carlyle Morton’s invention which I saw in the harebell. This device is epoch making; it consists of an especially designed diving bell to be used in pasturing rabbits on sea weeds. Mary Edson was represented by a water lily which grew by the water's edge. It is a part of history that she swam the English Channel in record time, besides performing other marvelous aquatic feats. A mourning bride which grew in front of me brought with it distracting recollections of Mary Fritz’s unhappy marriage. A tall sun flower attracted my attention to the fact that Lucile Montgomery had become a victim of tuberculosis. She was then spending her time in the sunshine of Arizona. While 1 sat gasping in the wonder and mystery of these flowers, 1 felt something from behind touch my arm. I immediately looked around to see what is was. To my surprise I saw the quiet married life of Eleanor Keigwin embodied in the form.-of a forget-me-not. Beside it, half concealed stood a bleeding heart. In it 1 saw the secluded life that Ruth Schuyf has been leading since her disappointment in love. Arthur Kruse’s pleasant smile shone from a little poppy. He was manufacturing a new grade of pop guaranteed to replace all strong drinks that the eighteenth amendment abolished. Ruth I wig appeared before me next in the form of a sweet william. She had. indeed, been Williams, sweet since their marriage in 1930. A four o’clock opened its flowers, and revealed the face of Mildred Stone. She had been putting on vocal concerts over the radio at four A. M., each morning. Last but not least of this varied collection I saw a beautiful daisy. It brought before me the image of Eleanor Ioder who has been living a useful and consecrated life as nurse in one of Chicago’s largest hospitals. I looked in vain for more flowers, but finally discovered that the squirrel had just left branch number ’26 and was climbing toward one marked ’27. Casting my glance again toward the flowers, 1 was so overwhelmed and lost by the realization that I now saw all my classmates assembled before me that I made a sudden motion as if to draw back. The ultimate result was an even more surprised awakening caused by the falling of my gun upon my head. I opened my eyes to look upon the true world again, but 1 have never yet been able to dismiss from my mind this vision of the class of 1926. Vane twenty-four TOP ROW—left to right—Edna Sweetnam, Geo.

You see, they just happened to think that the Juniors won’t be Juniors very much longer. A Junior has the privilege—or at least he takes it—of doing things which an underclassman doesn’t have the nerve to do. At the same time, very little is below his dignity. Hence the happy feeling when the Waterbury says, “Exit Juniors”. The Freshman class of ’23-24, being the first to start in the new building, was fairly large. What we lost in numbers we made up in ability to create mischief, although the end of the first year found us still hale and hearty. For three short months we ran riot, and then returned to W. H. S., as the unconquerable Sophs. Under the sponsorship of Miss Mason we developed rapidly, and sent forth a large number of warriors—athletic, musical, talkative, and otherwise—who brought back well-earned laurels.

But we were forty-seven strong and eager to learn and do our part in school. In athletics, one of our three members who were out for football received a letter. Another received a letter in track. Our enthusiasm for basketball was no less altho we hadn't anything to show for it. The girls did their part also and furnished most of the members of the High School Chorus. We closed our Freshmen year as we had begun it. with a class picnic. At last the month of September came and we started another nine months of labor determined to do even better this year. In athletics our experience as Freshmen made it possible for us to have three letter men in football and one in basketball. We showed up especially well in basketball when we won the interclass tournament. We also made a showing in track.

President Imogene Ross ........-...................... Vice-President Jeff Livey ............................ Secretary-Treasurer Erna Kirk .................................... Cheer Leader On September, 7, 1925, forty-two students enrolled as Freshmen in Walnut High School. Eighteen of these, were eighth grade graduates of Walnut Grade School, the rest of various other schools. After the first assembly, the class met in their home room, with Mr. Wells as class advisor, to organize and to elect their officers. To look at the class, one might think one were looking at a menagerie, as the class consisted of giants, dwarfs, sheiks, heart-breakers, and flappers. During the first semester, the class felt as if it were in a body of water. Some managed to float on top very easily, some just kept their heads above the water, while other nearly drowned and sunk out of sight. None, however, gave up hope. Each student helped to boost the W alnut School spirit in different social activities, such as playing in the orchestra, playing basketball, football, and rooting for the home team. 1 Page thirty-four Dorothy Whitver—I intend to be a nurse.

Of the five subjects, Modern History is required of all Juniors, and American History is required of all Seniors, while the remaining subjects are elective. Work from the adopted text books makes up the greater part of the course, while in History the collateral work consists of a series of note books containing map construction and syllabus study; and of the use of “World News,” a pamphlet published weekly and containing current events in history. The collateral reading of the Civics class is based upon the magazine, “The Survey”. The study of past conditions, past institutions, and past ideas, relative to the present better fits the pupil to build for the future. SCIENCE—ENROLLMENT 84. General Science, recpiired of all ninth year pupils, is designed to give the student a practical knowledge of the fundamental problems of everyday science in preparation for more advanced courses. Throughout, the aim of the course is to discuss and study problems which the student is likely to meet in the home, at work or play. It includes an elementary study of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Geology, Meteorology and Agriculture. Practical experiments and field trips make up the laboratory work. Biology, offered as an elective in the tenth year, is a course designed to familiarize the pupils with the fundamental function of living things. Special attention is given to the physiology of the plant and animal. The respiratory, circulatory, digestive, nervous and reproductive systems are studied. Laboratory consists of experiments, field trips, an extensive study of bacteriology, and the dissecting of animals representative of the different groups. Physics, offered as an elective in the twelfth year, includes the study of Mechanics, Molecular Physics, Heat, Electricity, Sound and Light. The aim of the course is to present elementary physics in such a way as to stimulate the pupils to do some thinking on his own account about the hows and whys of the Physical world in which he lives. The Laboratory work consists of practical experiments aimed to illustrate the points under study and discussion in lecture and recitation. ENGLISH—ENROLLMENT 127 The appreciation of the best in both modern and classic literature, and the ability to express original ideas clearly and accurately have been the aims of the English courses in the Walnut Community High School. To accomplish these points, the work of the first two years is divided equally between the study of literature and composition with the stress on composition. With these two years as a foundation, the study of the history of English literature is introduced in the third year. Representative readings from the outstanding writers accompany the historical study. In the fourth year, American literature replaces English. In contrast to the first two years, literature occupies the position of prominence although composition is still important. _ MATHEMATICS—ENROLLMENT 89 The whole plan of the mathematics department is so organized that it Page thirty-eight gives the student a thorough knowledge of the subject matter and at the same time develops in him habits which help him to become an independent thinker and arrive at correct conclusions by economical and systematic methods. First year Algebra is required of all students and includes the study of the four fundamental processes, signed numbers, simple numbers, factoring, graphing, and simultaneous equations. The equation is emphasized and accuracy and speed in translating the written or word problems into mathematical symbols is required of all. Plane Geometry is also required of all and is given in the second year. The properties of the line and the plane and their relations and combinations are studied. Some construction work is also included in this course. Advanced Algebra is elective to third and fourth-year students . It includes the study of the different types of the quadrative equation, advanced work in factoring, variables, logarithms, the binomial theorem, progressions, ratio, proportion, variation and determinates. Solid Geometry is offered as a half year subject following Advanced Algebra and is elective to students who have completed the first two years of Mathematics. In the last four books of Geometry the pupil receives a working idea of the properties of all the common solids such as,—the cube, the cone, the sphere—and their formation and relationships. COMMERCIAL—ENROLLMENT 34. The two courses Commercial Geography and Commercial Arithmetic make up the Commercial department. Commercial Geography in which 20 were enrolled takes up the study of the staple products common to all countries. Further study is made of the commercial resources of each country and also of their relation to each other commercially. Commercial Arithmetic in which 14 were enrolled, makes a study of those business principles necessary to every individual. Bookkeeping is the art or practice of keeping a systematic record of business transactions, so as to show their relation to each other and the state of the business in which they occur. The books commonly used are the day-hook, the cashbook, and the ledger, often with an invoice book, a sales book, a purchase book, or a special form of journal. Since everyone has business transactions, the study of bookkeeping is applicable to the daily life of every high school pupil and is well worth the effort put forth upon it. HARMONY—ENROLLMENT 18 Harmony is a new course introduced this year. It is a subject in which the students learn to write music for four voices, soprano, alto, tenor and bass, according to various rules and prohibitions. There are two classes composed mostly of members of the Orchestra, several of the chorus and others musically inclined. With the Harmony course has been combined Musical History. The lives and words of noted composers such as Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Mozart have been studied, as well as some of the well known operas, namely Cormea, II Trovatore and Madame- Butterfly. HOME ECONOMICS—ENROLLMENT 38 There are thirty eight enrolled in our Domestic Science department this year. This department offers three courses: cooking for Freshmen, sewing for Sophomores and a Cafeteria class for Juniors and Seniors. The first year cooking course takes up the study of all nutriments con- Page thirty-nine jrrcjnn tained in foods, meal planning and some practical cooking, while the cafeteria class is all practical work. The course in sewing deals with textiles, interior decoration, costume designing and laboratory problems in sewing. CLASSICAL COURSE—ENROLLMENT 40 At present, Latin is the only language other than English which is offered in our course. Therefore four years' work is available for the student who chooses this elective. The beginning Latin includes a study of the rudiments of the language which affords an excellent review and understanding of our own tongue; makes a firm foundation for advance work in English and other subjects; and teaches better articulation and enunciation. The routine of the grammar, is relieved by short stories interspersed in the text, and by collateral translation of mythology which is taken at the close of the year. During the second year Caesar's Commentaries of his campaigns of the years 58-55 B. C., inclusive, are translated. This is especially interesting since the World War because of the common ground covered by Caesar’s army and by the forces of the Great War with which we are familiar because of our country’s large share in its events. Cicero’s Orations and Virgil's Aeneid are studied in alternate years. As the pupil grows more proficient, in translating, so his enjoyment of the Latin language increases, thus making his advance work of greatest interest to p, him. The fact that these classics have lived so long, indicates their value. The only way to understand and appreciate one’s own language is to study another. The Latin is especially beneficial because such a high percentage of our own words is derived from it. AGRICULTURE—ENROLLMENT 41 Agriculture is an old subject but a new one in the field of education. It has been neglected in this field in the past among the boys who will be the farmers of tomorrow. The courses of this department is meant to meet the needs of the boys (or girls) who will remain on the farm or who will go to college to continue the work. The course contains many parts which will Bjj benefit the boy who does not follow Agriculture as a business. We are offering three years of agriculture. The first year we offer soils, crops, and some horticulture. This includes field study, laboratory, and the 5, learning of the best practices known. Animal husbandry is offered the second year with the study of feeding, care and management and judging of horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. The third year, we offer farm mechanics. This course is practical and emphasis is placed upon the proper use of tools and materials in their application to projects of farm and home. The subject matter deals with wood, metal, concrete, rope, harness, gas engines and mechanical drawing. With all courses the student is required to carry on a home project which is related to the course taken. This gives practice with class work. Extra projects and practices are pushed by using Boys’ and Girls’ Club work. These projects include some poultry, cattle, horses, sheep, garden, corn, alfalfa, and any other project that fits well with our community and with the University of Illinois State Extension Service program.

HAROLD RUDIGER Tackle From the first to the last Rudiger, a Junior, was dependable. It was this unusual consistency that made him valuable. MARVIN WINGER Fullback-Captain Captain Winger set a desirable example for teammates in his superior style of play. His ability and spirit made him a congenial leader. HERBERT WHITVER Center Good playing and good spirit characterizes Herb’s year in football. Herb is a Junior and captain elect of the 1926 football team. Page forty-three as gir «v: r?� v, rTsv, r M CLIFTON WHITVER Halfback Cliff’s speed and his ability of hitting the line was an important factor in Walnut’s football team. Injuries kept him out of the final combat. WILBUR HOPKINS Quarterback Hoppy was a genius in managing a team. He guided the team with ease and confidence throughout the year. He is a Senior. GEORGE TAYLOR End Perhaps no one excelled Taylor in genuine “scrap.” Though light in avoirdupois he was continually fighting even when handicapped by illness. Page forty-four o o T B A L L ADRIAN BULLINGTON Guard Bullington’s size made him useful as a big defensive factor in the line. Bullington is a Junior. EDWIN WILSON Quarterback-Halfback What Eddie lacked in weight he made up in grit and speed. As Eddie is only a Sophomore he has two more years of football. CHARLES ODELL Guard Chuck is only a Freshman, but one could not have guessed it. He worked like a veteran and will fill a gap next year. | I F Page forty-five Page forty-six 3tf MARION BOROP Halfback Borrop possesses all the qualities which make up a successful football player, especially durability. Borop is a Sophomore. CLARK HASENYAGER End Clark’s stubborn determination to get the opponent was an asset. He has played the end position for two years and will be missed next year. CARL GOLDEN Tackle Though Carl, a Sophomore, didn’t participate in many games he proved that he had the material of which good players are made.

It was under his guidance that this well coached team developed. FLOYD GUSTAFSON Guard Gustafson was only a Freshman but by midseason he had developed into a well rounded player. W ith careful coaching and more weight he will be dangerous to rivals. MAX BROKAW Tackle Max’s massive size was a big factor in making an ideal tackle. He is a Junior and has another big year ahead of him. Page forty-seven hu? Ti? uira!tf iili? ini? iS rygylhstiftgt mm mmmwp- FOOTBALL GAMES AMBOY, 16; WALNUT, 0. On a beautiful day, perfect for football, in the early autumn the Walnut High School was defeated in its first encounter of the season by Amboy. The Amboy aggregation consisted of practically the same players that Walnut defeated last year. The Walnut line was green and inexperienced, however, it withstood Amboy’s powerful attack quite well. SHEFFIELD, 0; WALNUT, 20. Walnut had very little trouble in winning the first “Little Six” game from Sheffield. The score does not give the true indication of the superiority-of the Blue and White. The whole game was played in Sheffield territory. The Walnut team showed a marked improvement in offense and the defense was exceptionally rigid. BUDA, 6; WALNUT, 10. This game, featuring thrills, spills, and mud was played in a drizzly downpour of rain at Buda. Buda immediately grasped the lead in the first few minutes by a long pass resulting in a touchdown. After this Walnuts defense tightened and the teams battled evenly. Walnut first scored in the third quarter when Borop made a field goal. In the last minutes of play the Blue and White gridders passed and plunged for a touchdown which won them their second “Little Six” game. MANLIUS, 0; WALNUT, 14. Walnut took another big step toward the “Little Six” championship when they defeated their old rivals Manlius before a large crowd. The first half was hard fought, and though Walnut threatened to score several times, it ended 0-0. But in the last half the locals proved their superiority by scoring two touchdowns. alnut, however, paid dearly for this victory for five regulars were injured. NEPONSET, 26; WALNUT. 7. Though Walnut was the ruling favorite. Neponset “up set” the dope and handed the locals a miserable defeat at W alnut. In the first half Neponset was held to one touchdown, but in the last quarter the speedy backs from Neponset made the Blue and White “look bad”. Walnut was. however, seriously handicapped by the absence of several regulars who hadn’t recovered from injuries received in the Manlius game. BUREAU, 9; WALNUT, 3. With two regulars temporarily disabled and three other players injured Walnut sank gloriously before the prowess of Bureau in the final contest of the season. This game was the climax of the ‘‘Little Six’ football season and it proved to be a climax. A large crowd witnessed the game which featured good sportsmanship and clean football, a credit for both teams, FOOTBALL Walnut enjoyed this year perhaps the most successful football season since 1922, in regard to the results of the “Little Six” League and to the enthusiasm and support of the townspeople. I he fact that Coach Wells produced a good team which played a better brand of football made competition keener and interest greater. The number of candidates was small, however, all remained in the squad until the season closed. Fourteen men received letters of which only four graduate. This leaves ten letter men to compose the team of 1926 which should be the best ever yet produced at the Walnut High School. Page forty-eight 5ssasaBa The Basketball Team won Second Place in County Tournament BASKETBALL OF 1925-1926 Undoubtedly this was the most successful season in the history of the Walnut High School. More victories were annexed this year than in any preceeding year. But Walnut was rich not alone in victories. She was by far richer in the increased enthusiasm, loyal support, and ever ready assistance displayed by the townspeople and the entire student body. Like the season of 1922-1923 the team was at different times handicapped by sickness and disability of the players. However, the record attained this year is more desirable than one of the preceeding years. Also the fact that there were more candidates this year on which the 1926-’27 basketball team may be built adds brilliance to this successful season. LITTLE SIX STANDING Sheffield ..

TOURNAMENTS District Tournament The District Tournament held at Streator, March 4, 5. and 6. was attended by alnut. In the first game Walnut met the fast Toluca quintet before an immense crowd. The game was a thriller. The Walnut five led most of the way and played the more consistent game. However, in the last few seconds of play, Toluca “nosed out” the locals 19-20, and eliminated them from the tourney. County Tournament The Seventh Annual Bureau County Tournament was held at the spacious-gymnasium of the Walnut Community High School, February 26 and 27. This proved to be the climax of the basketball season. The fourteen teams, the greatest number which ever competed in the County Tournament, were; Buda, West Bureau, Cherry, De Pue, Hall Twp., La Moille, Malden, Manlius, Mineral, Ohio, Sheffield, Tiskilwa, Walnut and Wyanet. The unbeaten Sheffield quintet annexed the championship by defeating, Buda, Mineral and Walnut. Walnut won second place by beating La Moille, Wyanet and Manlius. Manlius received third by trimming Mineral in the finals. The immense crowds which attended each session were by far greater and more enthusiastic than ever before. Though the gymnasium is unusually large and the seating capacity considered almost unlimited, it was packed almost continually and on the final night standing room was not available. It is estimated that over 1.200 fans witnessed the finals. A shield was awarded for first place, a loving cup for second, a shield for third, and for fourth, a basketball. The large cup which was presented by the Walnut business men to the winners of 1922, was turned over to Sheffield. Sheffield also captured the cup given by the Citizens State Bank, of Walnut, for displaying the best team work of the tournament. i I Page fifty-one BASKETBA L WILBUR HOPKINS Forward Hoppy was speedy, difficult to guard, and he had a wicked” eye for the basket. His opponents characterized him as a source of trouble. EDWIN WILSON Forward Wilson was by far the smallest man on the team, but with Eddie it was quality and not quantity. His floorwork was a feature. MARVIN WINGER Center-Captain Winger was an ideal captain. His speed, his remarkable headwork and his shooting coidd hardly be excelled. Winger led the team in scoring and was high point man in the Little Six” League and in the county tournament. rage fifty-two asas as as as as as as asasasasas asasas at? as as as asssssasasas as asas air B K 1 T B CLARK HASENYAGER Guard Clark's experience in basketball enabled him to become a very good utility man. He produced the same “fighting spirit” displayed in football. GEORGE STICKLES Forward Stickles, a Junior, really made a name for himself by playing very creditable basketball. His work in the County Tourney deserves mention. HERBERT WHITVER Guard Herb was dependable. Though handicapped by poor eye sight he proved to be an efficient guard. 1 Page fifty-three 'mmmmswwmwmmwMMism B T B L JEFF LIVEY Forward This was Jeff’s first year in basketball but one could not have guessed it. He has the “makings” of a star. CLIFTON WHITVER Guard Though Cliff’s game was somewhat inconsistent, his everlasting fighting spirit made him a valuable player. HAROLD RUDIGER Forward and Center Though handicapped by sickness Rudiger played a good brand of basketball. He is captain elect of tbe 1926-1927 team and he possesses the qualities necessary for a captain. |yj| Page fifty-four — — T R A C K The prospects of a winning team again this year are good, Last year the team was a decided success. Though the number of candidates was small, several proved to he stars. Jn the first contest of the season Walnut defeated the old rivals Manlius 57 to 60. The following week Neponset won from Walnut in a closely contested engagement of the season. In the annual “Little Six” meet the locals placed third. Manlius finishing first with Bureau a close second. The County meet was. however, the climax of the season. Walnut carried away first with 22 points, barely “nosing out” Manlius who collected 21 counters. The team this season is composed of a large number and is perhaps a better balanced team. Several new men have been discovered and the possibility of attaining a better record than the preceding is. evident. No doubt, Walnut will win new honors this year as has been the custom for a decade. Little Six meet, Princeton, May 1, 1926.

CORNER OF GYMNASIUM Page fifty-seven THE GIRLS AS ATHLETES Not to be surpassed by our rivals, the boys, We girls entered athletics, too, And startled many who thought us mere toys, As each of us made her debut. As hikers our equals could not be found, And none have seen a merrier band, Than this club of girls who all were bound To make records known to the land. Donning our knickers and middies so smart, We trudged many a lengthy mile,— A sight to gladden a Weary heart, As we marched along with a smile. The next on the program was Basket-Ball— That famous and well-liked game, And ten star girls, both large and small, Made for themselves great fame. Mr. T. R. Wells, our Basket Ball king, Gladly) coached these bonny lasses, W hose honors and names will ring and ring. For their wonderful throws and passes. The red-headed girls did as well as the dark, The short as well as the tall; And as each played on as happy as a lark, She scored with the good old ball. Besides all this we had a gym class, Of twelve extra fine athletes. And, under Miss Mason, each pretty lass Accomplished many and daring feats. But all this success cannot be compared. With the laurels that Tennis will bring, To the girls who the joys of athletics have shared, A s they their rackets will swing. 1 So here’s to the noteworthy athletes, To the girls of old Walnut High, For. no matter with whom they compete, They never, never say, “Die”. { i - � 1 “Of all sad words of tongue and pen The saddest are these: ‘It might have been’.” Nevertheless, we did have ten girls out for basketball and, in the few times that they practised, they learned well the fundamentals of the game. Miss Mason had a gymnasium class for a few months and accomplished quite a good deal; the first part of the course being devoted to calisthenics and the latter being given to the playing of Volleyball. A great number of girls have enrolled for Tennis and it is hoped that they wall be more successful in this phase of athletics.

The course consisted of four numbers, all the talent being furnished by the Dennis Lyceum Bureau of Wabash, Indiana. The first number was given by the “Old Colony Male I rio . 1 his num- ber proved to be very pleasing and entertaining to everyone. The second number was given by Mr. Coad. a lecturer and entertainer. The third number consisted of the Priscilla Entertainers. This program was made up of selections from the harp, the piano, readings and duets. This proved to be one of the most pleasing numbers. The fourth and last number, was a lecturer, A. B. Powell, who was well worth hearing. Page sixty-six r7s ir7 tir?

Although somewhat frightened the students, loyal to their Alma Mater, responded en masse. But on entering the building what a contrast to the school of instruction to which we were accustomed. Instead of the orderly halls and quiet study rooms, we were greeted with a dim, glassy light, slowly flickering, sometimes completely dying down then bursting forth into a new flame. The dim outline of black cats, their small eyes gleaming illuminated the witches den so that fat jolly pumpkin faces could be recognized. So mysterious and so weird, made even more so, by an agonizing screech from some wood owl. After we became accustomed to our unusual surrounding and began mingling with the other members of this odd assembly we soon discovered ourselves amidst our friends and classmates although garbed somewhat strangely. Suddenly a new light came to our minds and here again we were at the Walnut Community High School at the annual Hallowe’en party. The gym was flooded with lights and the gay masqueraders descended the stairs to an evening’s entertainment and frivolity. Contests among the bats, owls, witches, and cats occupied most of the evening’s entertainment. In counting up the tallies the witches were victorious over the other three competitors. Just before the stroke of ten masks were hurled into mid air and familiar faces peeped out of strange costumes. Loren Hoge, attired in the costume of a witch, easily obtained first prize and George Taylor in the apparel of our modern flapper took the second prize. Naturally no party is a complete success without a wee bit of nourishment so Hallowe’en rations of apples, popcorn balls and doughnuts were placed before the famished High School bunch to which all did more than justice. FRESHMAN PICNIC “Well! Well! so the Freshman had a picnic. You say that their papas wouldn’t let them take cars? No? Too bad, well I suppose it would be sort of dangerous to have them go too far away since they are so small, you know. Anyway who could find a better place than the Walnut School park with all its play ground apparatus. Just think what a good time they must have had swinging, teeter-tottering and sliding down the slippery slide. October the sixth was kind of a cold day for children to be outside, wasn’t it? Yes, I suppose they could keep warm running and romping about. The teachers went into the grade school building to keep warm, did they? Oh they didn’t, surely I should think that some older ones would have to stay right with them so they wouldn’t get hurt or, maybe, get into a fight. Page seventy-nine t -! I a1 uvgvj lAjg t -a gA; lAjg vg vg j uvg : tAg j i vg : iv : ix j vgy j vgy j:.vgy; uvgvj : What you say that they were afraid of the fire so they had to eat their weiners half raw?” Anyway the Freshman picnic turned out to he quite a success in that they discovered what a High School party was like. SOPHOMORE PICNIC “Why I hear that your class had a party after school last night, said a Senior to a Sophie one day. ‘A es we had our annual weiner roast. Why?” “Certainly a fine day you picked out. You think you’re smart because you were the first to have courage to put one over, don’t you.” “ e couldn’t help it, the God of Rain favored us with a few drops. I think you're just a bit jealous anyway. It turned out to be a grand success although we did have to stay in the .school building. No one tore their hose, no one ran from a cow or any other animal, no one used ashes on their weiners as garnish and no one had to eat ants. You know weather doesn’t matter when we Sophomores get together for we always manage to have a good time.” “You win,” said the Senior as he walked down the corridor. SOPHOMORE AND FRESHMAN PARTY Crash, Room, and a Bang—that’s the way the Freshman-Sophomore party went over. These classes decided that there was nothing like cooperation or in other words, coming back to the old maxim, “the more the merrier”. Coming to this conclusion, all plans were set for Friday night, January the fifteenth. At seven-thirty of this evening one could see most of the light brigade marching to the tune of “Hail, Hail, the Gang’s all Here” towards the school-house. Everybody forgetting their studies for the time being seemed to get into the spirit of the thing and played games in the gym with all enthusiasm. If these games were a success surely that which was to come was best of all. For when the clock struck nine-thirty refreshments were served. As it was getting late, (I mean about ten o’clock), the light brigade filed out of the building happy, but wishing that it wasn’t over. - HIGH SCHOOL CARNIVAL Much excitement prevails among the high school students, as well as the townspeople, as the date of the annual high school carnival draws near. On h riday night April 23 the long-anticipated gala night arrived. Everybody, students, faculty, parents, even wee brothers and sisters packed the auditorium to witness the various performances of the four classes. The Seniors, the Juniors, the Sophomores, yes even the Freshmen showed remarkable ability as entertainers. Directly after the completion of the auditorium vaudeville, the gymnasium was over thronged with merrymakers, all eager to join in the evening’s revelry.
