VVe, therefore, have de- cided to will these to our lower classmates so they may still he in the VVarrensburg High School. We, the Class of '29, do, as is the custom of the Seniors, leave unto the vari- ous classes as a whole some worthwhile things. To the Freshmen, the Seniors leave a blessing that will follow them through- out school life. To the Sophomores, some of our dignity, for they are getting well along in life and will need it. To the juniors, the responsibilities that we handled so well this year. Each person of the class feels it his duty to leave some of the possessions that he is noted for. I, Clarence Elder, do will my rightfully-earned 'fworld's record broad grin to Marguerite Koons. I, Ivetta Kerwood, bequeath my silver-plated tool kit to Doris Jobeg therein will be found a windshield wiper and an anti-glare compound to be applied to the nose. I, Luther Paxton, do will my position as assistant principal to Nelson Vaughn. I, Lucille Koons, leave my ability to lead yells very hilariously to Marguerite Fawcett, remembering her attempt at the class tournament. I, Harold Sheneman, give to Obie Young my bewildering blush, hoping that he uses it as effectively as I have. I, Velma Schroeder, bequeath some of my surplus weight to Bonnie Kruzan. I, Otis Barclay, leave a ready answer to all questions to Arthur Fox. I, Josephine Kruzan, will all of my poetic ability to Everett Brown. I, Owen Barclay, do give my position as high-pointer on the basketball team to Gene Willard. . I, Sarah Glancy, leave my ability as a typist to my sister as I want to keep it in the family. I, Christy Albert, bequeath my towering stature to Nathan Brown. I, Velma Baum, do will to Gene Simpson my high chair, for he acts as if he needs one. -2I- TI-IE C RDINALSSS' A LITTLE GLANCE INTO THE FUTURE On the future fate Of a graduate, It is very hard To concentrate. If we go ahead About ten years, XVe see Josephine And all her dears. And Luther, -he Is a lawyer grand. Lucille's at the head Of a big brass band. Christy's a peanut salesman. I-Ie's selling them by the peck. Ivetta's a chorus girl And making VVhoopee, by heck! Harold is a doctor, Golly what a doc . Clarence is a prize fighter And what a sock! Velma's an aviatrix Sailing up high. And last there's Owen Barclay, Who'll be something by and by.

He always minds the teacher's rule, And never has to stay after school. Of course boys like Christy are far too few, So good, kind-hearted, and so true, But if we all were just like he Models of perfection we would be. JOSEPHINE KRUZAN ODE TO WITS To these learned sarcastic wits That try to give me all kinds of fits I now try to tell just how I'd appreciate a little row VVith anyone that has the nerve to t To belittle such a person as I. C ENGLISH CLASS English Class - VVithout which you cannot pass, In which you are as green as grass, And all but the teacher realizes, Of all the sad surprises, There's nothing to compare NVith studying hard on lessons, Then to have her give you the air. HAR A LAMENT Mr. Orr has quit, I wish he'd stay, Until I no longer sit In school all the day. The new principal, I fear, Is a married ripg And he lets hair appear Upon his upper lip. But it is no use, For he's been hired. Even if he is a ruse, He probably can't be fired.

S. as Freshmen. They soon got into the school spirit and were well represented in ath- letics and literary work. Early i11 the year they were entertained by the Sopho- mores at a Hallowe'en party. This year soon passed. The next year we see a much smaller class. Some decided to quit, while some others got married. Again they were well represented in athletics and some held important posts on the Annual staff. On September 4, l928, only twelve juniors enrolled, but the few remaining were by no means backward. They met early in the year and selected the follow- ing officers: President .......... .......

On November 2 they pre- sented their class play, The Absent-minded Hridegroom . You can easily see that they progressed rapidly in their junior year but what they do in their Senior year remains yet to be seen. ..24- TI-IE CARDI AL-i SOPHOMORES Back row-XYayne Norris, Nathan Brown, Herschel Sheneman, Claudie Collins, Ulysses Shephard, Xlilliam Botts, Arthur Fox.

SOPHOMORE THEOREM 'llheoreniz The Sophomore Class, as a whole, is equal to the product of hap- piness, kindness and brillianey. Given: Seventeen Sophomores. To prove: That the Sophomore Class consists of happy, kind and brilliant boys and girls. Proof: lletween ll and XV insert C, F, G, H, K, N, l , S, V, and NV. Point li stands for happiness. From the figure we see that it stands for three happy Sophomores, Rosetta and Nathan Brown, and XYilliam liotts. C, standing for Claudie Collins, equals kindness. F stands for Foxie , the eliieient High School taxi-driver, followed by G which is parallel to Marjorie Clancy. Point H stands for Charlotte Hursh, our basketball player, and K stands for Marguerite Koons, the class ilapper. Point N equals XVayne Norris. a talkative Chap. Point l' is divided into two parts: the chief rough-houser , Nellie Perkins, and Helen Paxton, an excellent friend. S is for Hershel Sheneman, who is always telling us what to do, l,eota Steele, who is quite shy, and Liss Shephard, our basketball captain. V equals Nelson Yaughan, the Critic, and last XY stands for llob Xkillard, who is sometimes quiet, and Erma XVood, who, at times, is quite studious. Therefore, we have proved that the Sophomore class consists of happy, kind, and brilliant boys and girls. -25- ---L-TI-IE CARDI AL FRESHMEN l S S S l Back row! -Ollie Young, lloughn Hinkley, Eugene Simpson, james lfent, Cearld jolme, NVil- lard lluckley, Halter llritchett, llarolfl Heisermann, Merle Major, Xlilliam Xlinters.

F RESHMAN CLASS HISTORY ln the fall ot' 1928, forty-four Freshmen entered the Xlarretisburg Com- munity High School. A few got cold feet after the tirst day and one girl went to lleeatur but after that, most of us stayed and started our adventure together. .-Xt our first class meeting we elected the following otlicers: 1,7'F,S'll11t'l1f ,,,,..,,.,..,,,,,,....,.,.,,.......,,,,,.....,,,..

Catherine lN'lcGorray At our second class meeting we chose our class colors. XYe had quite 21 time selecting them, but we hnally chose blue and white. Our class hasn't been so slow in the activities of the school so far this year. Our class team carried off the laurels in the Inter-class Basketball Tournament. One of our members is on the Annual staff and another is an officer in a literary society. VVe have furnished some of the best material tor the basketball team as well as some lusty voices for the cheering section. -26- P?-TI-IE CARDlNAL'l -- ggi 1 4 ATHLETICS --2--THE CARDINALLA BASKETBALL llfACON COMMUNITY HIGH Scnoor. lhysscs Shephard, Captahz Luther Paxton Guard Guard WARRENSBURG, 165 ARGENTA, 30 We opened the season with Argenta. Our old rivals had been playing on the hardwoods for a month, and though they nearly doubled the score on us the count does not indicate the closeness of the game. ' WARRENSBURG, 163 LATHAM, 20 Our second game was played on Latham's floor. The 1923 district champions expected to make hash out of us. The Blue and White was so dazed by the light the Cardinals put up that they were barely able to eke out a win. WARRENSBURG, 215 MT. ZION. 23 The losing jinx was still with us when we met Mt. Zion on the local floor for the third game of the season. After leading throughout the contest our team dropped the game in the last minutes while attempting to stall. , WARRENSBURG, 93 WAPELLA, 11 NVapella, the highly-touted Dewitt County five, met and defeated us in our fourth game. It was a fast defensive contest, going into one overtime to decide the winner. Failure to take advantage of charity tosses cost us the game. WARRENSBURG, 173 CLINTON, 19 Clinton's fast-traveling quintet was forced to play two overtimes before they could down the Harpers. Clinton got all of their field goals from near the center of the floor. This game speaks for the team's ability, as Clinton beat Decatur three days later. WARRENSBURG, 105 KENNEY, 19 Mr. Harper was called home and could not accompany his team on this trip. The boys were off on their shots. connecting only three times in fifty-five attempts. -28- 'J c 12-LTI-IE CARDl15IAL . ..., ,..,.. . ,... .. . - . .,...... .,,,,.. ..,.- ,, M1 ARGENTA COMMUNITY HIGH SC1-Iool, Owen Barclay Otis Barclay Forward and Guard Forward WARRENSBURG, 195 ALUMNI, 17 VVe captured our First game from the old grads in a last-quarter rush. No doubt the Alumni ate too much at the banquet before the game. WARRENSBURG, 145 MAROA, 16 The Cardinals dropped another heart breaker at Maroa. Their Cracker box gym seems to have a jinx on our teams. We never remember of winning a game in it, though the game here was usually a different story. WARRENSBURG, 145 NIANTIC, 35 With Cussins flipping seven held goals from the center of the floor in the first half Niantic repeated what they did at the tournament. In the last half our team found itself and the scoring was even. WARRENSBURG, 105 ARGENTA, 20 In the game played in the new gym of the county champs both teams displayed very little basketball. In the last quarter a barrage of long shots by the Craig, Miller, Manacke combination turned a tight game into a rout. WARRENSBURG, 355 MAROA, 6 The Cardinals were in a harping mood this night and trounced Maroa to the tune of 35-6. The Dunlap boys were helpless in front of our defense and could not stop our offensive which was scoring from all angles. WARRENSBURG, 245 WAPELLA, 6 The team still had the winning fever. They presented a line defense coupled with a lighting offensive that completely routed the Dewitt demons. -29..

Zion determined to avenge the county tournament defeat, but a big first quarter for the Cardinals put the game on ice and the defense kept it there. WARRENSBURG, 173 KENNEY, 5 NVarrenshurg turned hack Kenney in their fourth straight victory. It was a listless game, both teams playing ragged basketball. WARRENSBURG, 29g LATHAM, 18 ln the most important game of the year VVarrensburg put forth their greatest effort and played their best basketball. Before a howling mob of six hundred the Cardinals avenged five consecutive defeats in three years by walloping their hated rivals. The Hunter preps could not penetrate our zone defense and con- sequently had to rely upon long shots. They never got a shot within the free throw line, while our offensive drives were constantly opening the Latham defense. WARRENSBURG, 125 CLINTON, 24 At Clinton the Dewitt County champs stopped our winning streak by a crush- ing defeat. The team had an off night and was unable to cope with the flashing attack of the XVilson quint. WARRENSBURG, 215 NIANTIC, 5 In the last scheduled game the boys took the fioor in an avenging mood. They completely crushed the Vtfells tossers, holding them without a field goal. MACON COUNTY TOURNAMENT VVarrensburg upset Macon, a county favorite, in their first game of the tourna- ment. After leading until the fourth quarter Macon tied the score 13-all, then -3o- TI-IE' C RDI AL-'L'-1 KIILLIKIN UNIVERSITY firYMN.KSll'M Eugene Simpson Everett lirown Forward Center and Guard forged ahead with a free throw. llut the team never gave up. They started down the lloor with titty-nine seconds to play. lust live seconds lrefore the timer went for his firearms Simpson tossed a held goal. In the third quarter of this game Paxton re-injured his leg and was forced out for the rest of the season. In the next game Niantie gave the dope bucket a kick by ousting our team as a titular favorite. The boys couldn't hit and dropped the game by a score of 23-II. In the eveni11g session the Cardinals played Mt. Zion for third place. A fter a disastrous lirst half the boys pulled themselves together to beat the foe I3- 14. After this game the All-Stars were announced. Ulysses Shephard and Owen Barclay were plaeed on the second team. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT XYarrensburg dropped their tirst game in the district tournament to Niantic. In the last minute of play a Niantie basket sent the VVells-coached machine ahead to win I4-13. This game closed the prep basketball careers of the Barclay brothers, who came from Argenta. Argenta's loss was our gain. The lettermen for the year are Nathan Brown, Everett Brown, Owen Rar- clay, Otis Barclay, Eugene Simpson, Ulysses Shephard and Luther Paxton.

A schedule in which each team met every other in the league was played. The standings show that the Juniors and Freshmen were tied for the championship. BASKETBALL To give the new coach, Mr. Harper, some idea of his material for the varsity squad a class tournament was held in this sport. In the first round games the Seniors nosed out the Sophs in a hotly contested game, while the Frosh had little trouble in disposing of the Juniors. In the finals the Sophomores drubbed the Juniors for third place. The Fresh- men and Seniors staged a great defensive game, the first year men finally winning, Freshmen, 105 Seniors, 4 fChampionshipj. Sophomores, 393 Juniors, 10 fThird placej. TRACK Plans have been laid to conduct a class track and field meet March 27. All classes claim to be potential champions. GIRLS' BASKETBALL . The girls started basketball practice late in the fall. They played two evenings a week. BEYOND ALL THINGS He played the game - What finer epitaph can stand? Or who can earn a fairer fame When Time at last has called his hand? Regardless of the mocking roar, Regardless of the final score, To fight it out, raw blow for blow, Until your time has come to go On out beyond all praise or blame, Bevond the twilight's purple glow, Where Fate can write against your name This closing line for friend or foe: He played the game. He played the game - What more is there that one can say? What other word might add acclaim To this lone phrase that rules the fray? Regardless of the breaks of chance, Regardless of all circumstance, To rise above the whims of Fate, VVhere dreams at times are desolate, NVhere failure seems your final aim And Disappointment is your mate, Where Life can write in words of Flame This closing line above the gate: He played the game.

Place-Mrs. Daphnay Rooney's house in a small town near New York City. SYNOPSIS On the eve of his marriage with the widow Rooney, Timothy Shea gets an acute attack of cold feet and begs his crony, Patrick Rooney, the widow's brother- in-law, to rescue him from impending matrimony. Pat hatches the bright idea of having the bridegroom pretending to lose his memory from a blow received in a fictitious accident and assume the identity of one Peter Peterson. Unluckily, the name belongs to a-Swedish dynamiter wanted by the police. Kathleen O'Connor sees that Tim is pretending and persuades her boy friend, Fred Gray, to act as Mrs. Peterson. Three children are found to impersonate the Peterson family and claim Tim as the head of the household. Tim is thus be- leagured by the false Mrs. Peterson and the police and alternately scorned and courted by the outraged widow. Due to Mrs. Rooney's maid, nicknamed Poison Ivy , the Peterson business is soon a mass of entaglements, which even the de- tective cannot clear. In the end, Tim finds pretending too expensive and is again accepted by the widow. By doing this, two other couples are united-the marriage of lJaphnay's son and Tim's daughter, Jimmy and Nora, and Fred and Kathleen. All ends well in the usual happy way. The play was directed by Miss Marjorie J. Carswell. - 42 - 1-3-TI-IE CARDI AL-- GO SLOW, MARY The Senior play Go Slow, Mary given by the Senior class and the annual staff went off with a bang.

Billy is out of a job. Mary is impatient of poverty and disgusted with the monotony of married life. Domestic bickering raises the question as to which is the easier job - keeping house or earning a living in the business world. Each is firmly con- vinced that his own job is the harder. To prove it, they agree to exchange jobs for a week. Mary. who has been in business, gets her old position back, and Billy stays at home and makes a heroic stab at keeping house. Then the fun begins and moves along fast and furiously, complicated by the secret love affair of Mary's friend Sally, by the pranks of a pair of pestiferous children, and by the mysterious dis- appearance of a diamond ring. -43- - 'I'I-IE C RDIISIAL'-' THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Junior class entertained the Seniors with a banquet on Friday, May 17. lt was well attended and all had a good time. The gymnasium was decorated in blue and silver, the Senior colors. The Junior colors were introduced in the recep- tion room. A three-course dinner was served and was followed by toasts. These were given by Mr. Harper, Mr. Orr, Miss Carswell, Josephine Kruzan, Luther Paxton, Miss Young and james Wharton. A variety program was given, con- sisting of songs, recitations, etc. After this a delightful evening was spent in playing games. JUNIOR JOURNAL Early in the year the junior class decided to publish their English work. They finally decided on the idea of The Junior Journal. This is typed by the typing class and is put out each month. It contains stories, poems, editorials and other things of interest. This is educational as well as entertaining.

The Class of '29, realizing the need of a strong, well-organized body back of their school, decided to entertain the old grads . Accordingly, invitations were sent out and about seventy were present, including the Class of '29, Board of Edu- cation, the Faculty, and George Orr, former principal. Following the banquet, a short program was given. Brief talks were made by Josephine Kruzan, president of Class of '29, Omer Spitzer, '24g George Orr, former principal, George Harper, coach and representative of present Facultyg and John Kruzan, member of Board of Education.

In the mind of my people there has grown up a feeling of self government that has been sent on down through the ages. This feehng ofindependenceisrnyinhernance Many years ago, during the thirteenth century, King John of England was forced to sign the Magna Charta, which gave the people more liberties and rights. In this culminated the feeling which had been growing for years. Later came the Bill of Rights, and then the Petition of Rights-all giving more power to the people. Some of their descendants migrated to this country and the struggle for liberty was again renewedg first in the Revolution, when freedom from England was attained, and afterwards in gaining the privilege to vote for all white male citizens. Next the right was given to the negro, and finally to all who had reached a legal age and were not criminal or insane. With all this background and with all this struggle, still some look upon the privilege of voting lightly and do not appreciate it! Is this privilege earned through struggle and hardship to be looked upon as a trivial possession? This inheritance should be valued as I value niy dearest possessnnr 'Therefore,in due respect to my ancestors, I think I should vote. The second reason is, because it is my privilege. Perhaps some do not look upon it as a privilege, but, if it were suddenly taken awav, in the eyes of many it would gain a new luster and become more important. Because it is a privilege and because it has been given me I think I should take advantage of it and vote. The third and most important reason is --because it is my duty, - first my duty to my ancestors, for what they have done, - second to myself, and last to others living now and to posterity. It is upon this third reason that I base most of my arguments. I am a part of the United States. The nation is made up of just ordinary people such as I, who all together make up the whole. If every person thought it was not his particular duty to vote-what kind of a nation would we have? I have the right to vote and I should make use of it. If I do not I have no right to say anything about our government and the way it is conducted. It will give me a peace of mind that I could not enjoy otherwise, as well as it will be performing my duty. The duty to others living now assumes a large proportion when one thinks of the part one has in conducting our government and choosing our officers. You might say that all the blame for corruption and for incapable officers falls upon each individual: for the whole is made up of many parts, each of which must function properly to have a capable government. I hold it a very great duty to my fellow citizens that I should go to the polls when the time comes. My duty to posterity also looms up greater and greater when I think of where I would be now had my ancestors not considered it their duty to me to vote. Some have already considered it a duty to posterity that they should vote. Take, for instance, the case of prohibition. Far-sighted people saw that the future generation would be bettered if there were no alcohol which could be easily obtained for them to drink and thus injure the health of the coming generations. Therefore prohibi- tion was adopted. Whether it was a successful measure or not remains to be seen. Nevertheless they did it for the good of posterityg and it was accom- phshed by going uithe poHs. Safety, happiness and prosperity for my descendants and the next generation g reverence for my ancestors and the inheritance they have given meg duty to my fContinned on page 633 -5z- P-:::'I'I-IE CARDII1IAL We extend our thanks and good wishes to the business or- ganizations who have made this Cardinal a success through their advertisements.

Finally, the crowd grew still and held its breath as the ball made a perfect basket. The crowds burst into a mighty uproar. Our hero clutched something in his hands and started. Great hands reached out to stop him, and he dodged them on every side. I-le struggled through the great line of shoes that were held out to retard his progress.
