Mgr.; Mary Waggoner, Literary Editor; Margaret Eyman, Asst. Bus. Mgr. The Cardinal Staff of 1925 composed of 12 members was nominated and elected in the early part of September. Miss Stoutenborough was chosen by the staff as faculty advisor. The Cardinal is the year book published by the students of Warrens-burg High and is representative of the entire school. We do not feel that publication should be restricted to any class in our school but should be open to the entire student body. With this thought in mind, we the students of W. C. H. S. present this 1925 Cardinal, hoping that you may receive much enjoyment from it in years to come. Eiffh t GEORGE L. ORR B. ED.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT Roosevelt, one of the greatest of American statesman, is to be found among the first in the hearts of American citizens. He is probably one of the most conspicuous and best known men of the civilized world. He was born in 1858 in New York City, and here the early part of his life was spent. During the first few years of his life, he was a physical weakling but thru his own determined efforts he grew from a child, pale nearsighted, thin and asthmatic to a man with a splendid physical constitution, a lover of out-door sports and a master of men. His first appearance in public life came at the age of twenty-three when he was elected to the state legislature of New York. He did not give up his literary career, however, for his political life. He did, in fact, consider literature his vocation and wrote many historical works thruout his life. It is his splendid achievements in the political world which has caused his name to be one of fame, however, rather than the books of history that he has left us. When the Spanish-American war broke out, Roosevelt was serving as Seretary of the Navy under McKinley, but he promptly abandoned this office and organized the famous Rough Riders, whose bravery and daring gained so much fame for them in the battle of San Juan hill. It was with much hesitancy that Roosevelt accepted the nomination for the Vice-Presidency with McKinley. Six months after McKinley took the oath of office, he was killed and Roosevelt accidentally slipped into his presidential career which was to bring him world wide fame. Roosevelt was strongly in favor of national economy. He was opposed to party bosses and did not permit any one to dictate to him. It was this admirable characteristic that caused his failure as govenor of New York. Probably Roosevelt's greatest contribution to America was the construction of the Panama Canal. He had all sorts of obstacles to combat. He had the opposition of the South American countries and the uprising of Panama and opposition of France. These he easily overcame, the first by asserting his authority, the last by arbitration. The building of the canal was a tremendous mechanical achievement and has given more to the world than any other similar construction. The sanitation and malaria questions were great obstacles in the construction of the canal and these were overcome by the commendable supervision of Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt will always be one of our greatest American heroes. He proved to the world that wealth was no obstacle to fame, as Lincoln proved poverty need not bar one from the highest office in the land. Sixteen Katherine Albert.

Twenty SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 5, 1921, four very much frightened young people were found seeking admittance to Warrensburg Community High School. A short time later in the same year two more joined the class bringing the total to six for the year. During the year several parties were held. One, a Hallowe’en party and the other given by the Freshmen and Sophomores in honor of the Juniors and Seniors. The class contributed to athletics and other student activities. The principle student activity of the year was the operetta, “Miss Cherryblossom,” in which most of the class took part. The class acted as all true Freshmen should, by taking part in the activities of the school, and by giving the upper classmen the awed attitude that so delights them. The class neither increased or decreased in size the next year. That year proved to be more eventful for the members of the class. During that year the orchestra was started and three members of the class contributed to that organization. The same year track was started and our class was also represented in that sport. The year closed with all members agreeing that they had spent a very successful year. The enrollment of the Junior class of 1924 dropped from six to five which made our class the smallest in the school. During the year the class took a prominent part in the play, “Star Bright.” The class also gave a banquet to the Seniors at the close of the school year, thus keeping the custom that had been started the previous year. The class always kept before themselves, the necessity of education so it was only natural that all of the members of the class were back to enroll as Seniors. The graduating class of 1925 entered Warrensburg Community High School and enrolled as High School students for the last time. They had the privilege and honor of being the first graduated class to spend the entire school year in the beautiful new school building which was ready for occupation at the close of the school year 1924. The size of the class was increased to six during the early part of the year but dropped back again to five when one of the members moved away. Although we have had the disadvantage of being a small class, we feel that our class has been very successful due to advice and help from our teachers. We realize the need of more education and although this concludes our work in High School we are planning for larger things in advanced education. Paul G. Waggoner.

Cotton LOOKS LIKE RAIN On May 15th, the Seniors staged their play, “Looks Like Rain,” quite successfully, with many laughs for the audience. The scene of the play was the Sherwood Inn in the Catskill Mountains ; the time, the present. Monty’s health resort might have been a paying proposition but after a persistent lack of rain, everything dried, the mineral springs refused to go on springing, the guests all left the hotel, Monty’s little fortune was wiped out and Cousin Elmo came to await the crash and grab the inheritance which was to be his if Monty proved to be a business failure. All the characters are rich: Monty, the hard luck, hotel proprietor; Jerry, the lazy caretaker; Martha, his domineering wife; Nellie, the girl in the case; Reggie, with impractical ideas; Elmo, the next of kin; and last but not least, Vilut, the farmer’s daughter.

Charles Hall Myra Kretzei Katherine Albert Winnifred Pease Twenty-two ([CARDINAL]) LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF CLASS OF ’25 We, the members of the Senior Class of ’25, being very greatly concerned with the welfare of a certain few insignificant persons and hoping that they will at least get as much enjoyment out of school as have we, bearing in mind that it would be impossible for them to absorb as much knowledge as have we, realize that it is our duty to give them advice and therefore do make and affirm our last joint and individual wills and testaments in the manner and form following: Considering it is our duty to warn our successors as to the consequences of tipping their chairs on freshly waxed floors, as such actions may prove fatal, we give strict warning against such. To the long suffering faculty, we grant peace of mind, trusting that they will find it very different but nevertheless, welcome. To the remaining students of the W. C. H. S., we bequeath all of the lockers on the third floor, hoping they do not fill them with waste paper and old Literary Digests. To the Juniors, we give self-possession of the back row of seats in the assembly hall and a three inch square on the under side of the desks, on which to park their chewing gum. To the Sophomores, we give the honor of being the most dignified and “largest” class in the W. C. H. S. To the Freshmen, we bequeath the power of casting the most innocent and angelic expressions. We leave to next year’s Physics Class that bottle of highly concentrated perfume which exists in ammonium sulphide hoping that it does not gain in strength by 1926. To the rooters of next year’s basketball and baseball games, we bequeath our strong voices and megaphones wishing that they make as good use of them as we did. I, Myra Kretzer, leave my ability to vamp every new man that comes to town, within a limit of one hour and fifty-nine minutes, to Edna Turner. To Mary Waggoner, I leave my ability and position as champion jazz piano player. I, Jerry Slonaker, do bequeath to James William, my place as right forward on the famous quintet. I give to Virgil Schroeder, the sole privilege of being the last person to Botany class. I, Katherine Albert, do bestow my skill in appearing to be the most interested and studious girl in school to Marie Trusner, hoping that she may profit by same. I also confer upon Velma Baum my place as champion flute player of the W. C. H. S. I, Paul Waggoner, do leave to Earl Clem, my position as leading ladies’ man of the school. To Helen Crossman, I leave my “marcelle” hoping that she may find it useful and beneficial during the remainder of her stay in W. C. H. S. I, Orval Robinson, do bequeath unto Eugene Ault my position as the champion wiggler of the W. C. H. S.. I also give to Craig Waller my front seat in American History and hope that he may keep it as long as I have. Sealed and signed this tenth day of April in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-five. The Class of 1925 Tiventy-tliret (CARDINAL)) SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One warm July day in 1935, as I was slowly walking up toward the business section of Washington, D. C., I chanced to look up and saw an aeroplane slowly descending. When it got just above the top of the business houses, with a swift lunge, it started to ascend again. Just then 1 noticed millions of little bits of paper floating to the ground. One fell at my feet and for curiosity’s sake I stooped and picked it up. It was an advertisement of the new aeroplane which had come to the city, giving a complete list of prices for rides. I slipped the card into my pocket and went on my way. A few days later the card fell from my pocket and when I glanced at it, a feeling of adventure came to me. I was determined now to ride in one of these aeroplanes. My two months vacation began on the following Monday, so I decided on a coast to coast trip. As I had relatives in California, I immediately wrote them a letter telling the time when I thought I could arrive, and sent my baggage ahead. Having made all necessary arrangements, on Monday morning at 8:00 o’clock, I went down to the field from which I was to start. I waited for a few minutes when I noticed the aviator coming toward me. When he became near enough, whom should I recognize but Jeremiah Slonaker, one of my old classmates. Jerry and I had graduated together in 1925 from the W. C. H. S. in Warrensburg, Illinois. Jerry was as much surprised as I over our meeting and we began talking over old times, and what we had done for the past ten years. In this way almost two hours slipped by before we thought of the trip. So immediately we climbed in the aeroplane and were soon on our way. Like Jerry, I had not been in Warrensburg for several years, so we planned to stop for a day and see old friends and visit home. Much to my surprise, Jerry told me that he had been in Ohio for three years serving duty as an aviator for the Walker Aeroplane Company. I let my thots drift and about six o’clock that evening, I noticed we were slowly descending. Supposing that there was engine trouble, I became greatly alarmed. We landed in a field and Jerry jumped out. Turning to ask him what was wrong, I glanced up and found myself looking at a beautiful brick structure surrounded by trees and shrubs. The scene seemed familiar when, as if a bomb had exploded near me, I came to the realization of the fact that this was the school building from which I had graduated back in 1925. Twenty-four ([CARDINAL)) We had landed in the field directly north of it. Full of excitement, I climbed out and started toward town, almost running. As I turned the corner at the main street, in a great rush, I collided with a tall, strongly built young man and would have fallen had he not caught me. Looking up, I gazed straight into the face of Orval Robinson, the one person farthest from my thots. I was so surprised that for a moment I just stared, until I finally gained my balance. Then I started plying him with questions, what was he doing, how long he had been here and everything I could think of to ask him. He told me that for two years he had been head mechanic at the Warrensburg Canning Company and had good prospects of staying for many years to come. During this time we had been slowly walking toward my old home. Jerry and I visited until the next day, then again started on our way. We rode until about evening when he turned in his seat and told me we would have to land, as there was something wrong with the engine. After some time, he found a landing place and we descended again. It seemed to be a suburb of a city as we could see various smoke stacks in the distance. We went to the road near by and were slowly walking toward the city, when a large car approached and stopped. The driver asked us if we should like to ride to town and we immediately accepted. After arriving in Denver, Colorado, as we afterward found the town to be, we asked the driver the way to the nearest garage. He drove us there and as he seemed to be such a friendly man we all went into the garage. When we reached the light I turned and looked at our good friend who had driven us to the city and found to my amazement that it was Paul Waggoner, another of my classmates and in my graduating class from High School at Warrensburg, Illinois. We talked for a while and Paul told me that he was on a pleasure trip at the present, before the next session of Congress, as he was State Senator from Illinois. We did not have long to converse, as Jerry and I had to be on our way, so after getting the aeroplane repaired we again started. The rest of our trip was uneventful and on the next day we arrived in Los Angeles, California. As I planned to visit here, Jerry returned to Washington, D. C. On the second day of my arrival my friends were taking me to see the city. I wished to visit the James Marion University, so in a short time we found ourselves in the beautiful building. My friends especially urged that we visit one English class because of the fame of this English instructor. After listening to this famous instructor for probably fifteen minutes, I recognized in her, certain traits of some old friend, when at last it came to me that it was Katherine Albert, my old school chum at Warrensburg. After class we had quite an enjoyable talk. As I went to my hotel that evening, I pondered upon my miraculous meeting with all of my old classmates and wondered at their success. Then my thots turned to myself, how I had climbed from a third class stenographer to private secretary to our renowned president, G. L. Orr. Myra Kretzer.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Three full years of trials, failures, and successes, go to make this, our class history, interesting. We feel that our High School life is like a drama, and so it shall be here represented. Act I Time, 1922-23 The curtain rises on twenty-four new Freshmen assembling at the High School. Each is dazzled by the glitter of High School life and overwhelmed by the dignified air of the place. Slowly the mysteries of Algebra and Latin are unfolded to them and soon the needed adjustments are made. The first eventful social feat of the season was a weiner roast staged at the Lehn home. The Freshies display, in a splendid manner, their ability to entertain. All through the first year the Freshmen show their unusual aptitude until, at the close, their names have been set in startling letters upon the annals of the school. Twenty-six Time 1923-24 Twenty-three egotistical, yet eager Sophomores take their seats in the second section of the assembly. All have become accustomed to High School life in the previous year and, as a consequence, each has assumed a scholarly air and begun his work in earnest. The class takes an active part in the school activities and makes abundant contributions to athletics and music. This year several of the members also help in the publication of the Cardinal. During this act, the scene is shifted from the old school building to the beautiful new one which the community has provided for us. The class finds the new building very interesting but soon all explorations are completed and they are settled down to work as before. No special social event occurs in this year but all take an active part in the regular social activities. The act closes a tremendous success. Act III Time 1924-25 The climax of the play. Twenty-three Juniors take the stage. Enthusiasm runs high ; a tremor of excitement permeates the air. In athletics several Juniors win their letters. The Junior play, “And Home Came Ned,” is staged and goes over big. Compliments to the Juniors! When the operetta, “Gypsy Rover” was given, four Juniors were chosen for the cast. All thru this year, the Juniors keep their banner high, preparing themselves for the title of Seniors, which will befall them in the ensuing year. As the last big event of the year, the Junior-Senior entertainment is not to be forgotten. In casting our title, “Juniors” for a more dignified one, “Seniors” we look back upon this year as one never to be forgotten, dear to the hearts of all in the class of ’26. Twenty seven ([CARDINAL) SOPHOMORES Standing (Left to right) : Ohlie Pyles, Harry Oakes, James Williams, Eugene Ault. Sitting: Ruby Clem, Edna Turner. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 1, 1923, seven young people feeling very much out of place, entered W. C. H. S. and were enrolled as Freshmen. In the early part of September the following class officers were elected: Ohlie Pyles ....................... President James Williams ............... Vice-President Harry Oakes ................. Secy.-Treasurer In addition to these officers they elected Mr. Orr as their adviser. During the year the class was duly represented in basketball, baseball and track. No special class activities were held during their Freshman year. However, they were entertained by the school at a weiner roast in Dietrich’s Grove. Before the school year was over two of the members were missing from the original seven, so when school was out for the year, the Freshmen class was composed of only five members; but on the whole the class had a very successful year. The same five members of the previous year and one newcomer enrolled again, this time as Sophomores. By this time they had become accustomed to High School life. The class maintained the high standards as Sophomores that they had as Freshmen and elected this time the following class officers: Eugene Ault ....................... President James Williams ............... Vice-President Harry Oakes -................ Secy.-Treasurer They chose Miss Stubbs as their class adviser. This year things have run as smoothly as they did the previous year and they are planning on two more successful years. Twenty-eight f cardinal!

FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES On September 1, 1925, a class of thirty-five members, the largest in the history of W. C. H. S., assembled at the High School for admittance as Freshmen. Early in the school year, class election was held and the class chose the following officers: Earlene Major ..................... President Lulu Rogers .................. Vice-President Virginia Crossman ............Secy.-Treasurer In athletics and music, the Freshies were in no way slack in their contributions and one member of the class was elected to a position on the staff. The primary social event of the year was the weiner roast given by Freshies for Sophs. We are certain that the Freshmen have entered into and contributed to High School life, in all lines, quite successfully, and we are confident that their ideals and abilities will be heightened thru their career at W. C. H. S. Twenty-nine It seems like a long lane that leads to the school house. Dig hard if you would cultivate your mind. It’s the hard grind at school that puts on the polish. Grades in school seem awfully steep. Some people don’t like their teacher because they think the teachei wants to know too much. Thirty ((CARDINAL)) W. C. H. S. LITERARY SOCIETY The W. C. H. S. Literary Society was re-organized for the school year 1924-25 on Friday, September 19, with Paul Waggoner as president, Ohlie Pyles, vice-president and Myra Kretzer, secretary-treasurer. The meetings of the society are held on Friday of every week. Officers serve for a term of six weeks. The second group of officers elected were, Katherine Albert, president; Mary Waggoner, vice-president and Lucile Lehn, secretary-treasurer. The officers chosen for the third term were, Virgil Schroeder, president; Edna Turner, vice-president; and Rena Rogers, secretary-treasurer. The fourth group of officers were: Eugene Ault, president; Archie Spitzer, vice-president and Jean Waller, secretary-treasurer. Those for the fifth term were, Frank James, president; Harry Oakes, vice-president and Jeremiah Slonaker, secretary-treasurer. To those who are not acquainted with the W. C. H. S. Literary Society it might here be stated that this society continues from year to year and was founded 1923. All High School students are regular members, and all graduates and the faculty, honorary members. The purpose of this society is to promote growth and development of mind, readiness and fluency of speech, and a more perfect knowledge cf parliamentary law. This year we instituted the plan of writing up the weekly news and having it read at the Literary Society in the form of a paper. This paper was named “Tatler.” The name was taken from an old paper edited by Addison and Steele. The “Tatler” is divided into two sections, one devoted to editorials, and the other to jokes and school news. Two extracts from the editorial section appear in this book. We feel that this “Tatler” has been a success and hope that it may not be dropped but carried on in the society. We hope that the W. C. H. S. Literary Society is a permanent institution in the High School and feel that if it continues, much good will be derived from it in the future as it has in the past. GLEE CLUB The W. C. H. S. Glee club comprised of twenty-three members was organized December fourth, with Miss Stubbs as their director. The purpose of the club was to promote vocal music which for the last few years has suffered shameful neglect, in the school. At Christmas time, the Glee Club sang carols to the townspeople and they also assisted in the entertainment at the Christmas party. Their operetta, “Gypsy Rover,” was very successfully staged on April the third. Altho the activities of the Glee Club were rather limited this year, we must remember it has just begun ar.d certainly the vocal music of the school has been improved through it. We hope that the Glee Club may continue next year and in years to come may prove a great benefit to W. C. H. S. Thirty-two f cardinal! ABRAHAM LINCOLN “I do the very best I know how—the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end.”—Lincoln. The words of Edward M. Stanton, “Now he belongs to the ages,” have indeed come true. For with each succeeding generation since the time of the Great Emancipator, is the growing realization of the greatness of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln’s greatness will live as long as men respect and honor the great deeds of men. Lincoln’s outward appearance was such that it did not attract favorable attention. He was a tall, spare, angular man, and his voice was of a high, piping, cracked key; yet there was such a kindly light in the eyes of the man that people forgot the voice and saw only the man in this, “Giant of the Prairies.” The things that count for true greatness were all to be found in a large measure in Abraham Lincoln, but in no way was it more pronounced than in his moral greatness. He was always a champion of that which he thought to be right and was always true to his convictions. From the time that Lincoln first saw a slave sold at auction in New Orleans he was a foe of slavery, and before he became nationally prominent, he used his influence against it when opportunity presented itself. The signing of the Emancipation Proclamation was therefore the culmination of a life conviction with him that slavery was wrong. An incident that occurred during the war illustrates Lincoln’s purpose to be on the side of right, rather than bend the right to suit his purposes: A delegation of religious workers visited the President and expressed the hope that God was on his side, to which Mr. Lincoln replied: “I am not so much concerned whether God is on my side as to whether I am on God’s side.” Although Lincoln lived in a time when drinking was to be found everywhere, he never took a drop because he saw the effect of drink upon others. He was a prophet when he said that the next big issue after slavery would be the liquor problem. The day following Mr. Lincoln’s first nomination for the presidency, a committee appointed to notify him arrived at his home. Friends had offered to supply him with liquor but he politely refused saying, “I have no liquors in my house and have never been in the habit of entertaining my friends in that way. I cannot permit my friends to do for me what I will not myself do.” Their thirst was quenched with water. Lincoln never kept an enemy because he lived a forgiving life. While many in the North regarded the South as an enemy, Lincoln regarded it as a spoiled child that needed correction, rather than conquering. He was the South’s best friend. America has given the world many good men, many wise men, and many able men, but perhaps it is not too much to say that none of her sons have had incorporated in their lives so many of these qualities in such full measure as did Abraham Lincoln. Thirty-three Thirty-four “TALL” ONES FROM VERMONT The old timers sat around the camp fire after an exciting day in the wocds hunting a bear which had been making inroads on the farmer’s stock. (The hunt was unsuccessful.) “Say,” remarked old Lem Stake, reputed to be the biggest liar in the county, “I reckon you fellers heerd how I killed that big bunch of crows that wuz pullin’ up my corn. I took that ole musket, loaded it up with fine shot clear up to the muzzle, and after I had dug a hole in the ground for a blind, I lay down in it to await fer ’em. They all lit purty close together, musta bin 200. Well, when I fired I couldn’t see nuthin’ fer about an hour on account of the heavy load in the musket, but when I did look, wudja believe it, I counted 172 dead crows. That wuz the best shot I ever heerd of before or sense.” Tole Carver, a newcomer, was equal to the occasion. You hain't got nuthin’ on me when it comes to high shootin’. Last fall I went squirrel huntin’ with one o’ them .43 caliber Spanish guns. I don’t mean that it takes a .43 to kill a squirrel, but I wuz just that smart 1 could see a better way to kill squirrels. I comes up to a big tree w’ich wuz alive with ’em. I saw that several wuz beatin’ it up the tree in a straight line. This is where the .43 came in fine. I shot at about the middle of the tree, spilt it, and ketched all them squirrels by the toes when the wood came back together.” Earl Rau, ’26. THE DENTIST’S WAITING ROOM As I entered the waiting room my attention was attracted to a frecklefaced, red-haired boy of about fourteen years. If I had not know that it was a dentist’s office I might have suspected that the poor boy had a bad case of mumps for his face was so drawn out of shape that you could scarcely discern his features. The boy had an attitude of “never say die” on his features, but I noticed that his knees trembled and his face turned a ghastly white under the coat of freckles as the dentist beckoned him into the cell of torture. The door shut from me the sight of the boy but not the sound for very soon the air of the waiting room was fi'led with sounds that came from one in torment or one very near death. These sounds at length reached a climax and then silence reigned for such a period of time that I thought perhaps the poor boy had passed into the great beyond. But such was not the case for soon the dentist come forth, wearing that smile of the profession that can be recognized anywhere and following him was a boy who looked more natural already after the extraction of that terrible molar and whom I recognized with surprise as---Dale Waller. Paul Waggoner, ’25. Thirty-five ((CARDINAL)) JUNIOR CLASS PLAY On Feb. 25, the Junior Class presented the play “And Home Came Ted,” a comedy in three acts. The scene of the play was at the Rip Van Winkle Inn in the Catskill mountains.

Thirty-six GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP School should be looked upon as a training place for life. With the introduction of athletics into the school we come across that which is calculated to give a preparation for life that cannot be derived from books—that is, good sportsmanship. To be a good sportsman one must be willing and ready to take all that goes in the game, to fight to the finish, and then if defeat comes to take it in a good spirit. There are two kinds of winners and losers. There are those who will take defeat with a good spirit and when victory comes do not assume a boastful attitude. Then we have the other type that cannot take a defeat without blaming it on someone else and when victory comes to this type it is almost unbearable for others. The first is the true type of sportsmanship, while the latter is far from it. The true sportsman plays the game hard, but he will play clean so that the victory may be fairly earned or the defeat easier to bear because of the satisfaction of knowing that he has played his best and played fairly. The person that tries to cheat in a game had better learn while in his youth that it does not pay, for the cheater cannot get far in the world. Sportsmanship can and should be entered into by every member of the school. If one is not on the team he can, and should, nevertheless, play the part of the sportsman by cheering for the team and by respecting the rights of the visiting team, for no greater lack of courtesy can be shown than by making discourteous remarks about the visitors. So let’s boost the team, but above all be good sportsmen. The Tatler. BEYOND THE TOLLGATE Just over the brow of the hill, at the entrance to the valley of Regret, there is a tollgate. Thousands upon thousands have passed that way and paid. This toll gate is on one of the many roads which branch off the Highway of Life. The name of this road is Ignorance. Beyond the toll-gate in the Valley of Regret, is an old, old man with a furrowed brow and grizzled beard, for he has lived through many generations. He carries a great load and his back is bent with the weight of the burden. His name is Experience. He is weary and sorrowful, for he has cried aloud, mostly in vain, to travelers on the highway, to avoid the way of Ignorance. Why do so many fail to hear and why do they not heed?

It was in three acts and was built around the character Rob, later known as Sir Gilbert Howe, of English nobility. Rob is stolen, when an infant, by his nurse, Meg. who later becomes the wife of Marto, a gypsy. Rob grows to manhood with the gypsies, believing Meg and Marto to be his parents. It happens one day, while riding with her fiancee, Lord Craven, Lady Constance Martindale becomes lost in the woods. They wander to the gypsy camp where Constance and Rob meet and fall in love at first sight. Craven objects to Rob’s attitude, but in a very funny comedy scene, with Marto and Sinfo, he is made to tell Sir George, who later comes in search of Constance, that Rob is a charming fellow. In act two, Rob goes to the home of Constance and serenades her. They plan to elope but are overheard by Craven who informs Sir George, and plans are made to capture Rob. This is successfully accomplished and Rob is thrown into prison, but later escapes. Two years elapse and Rob has come into his estates, his identity having been proven by Meg. He becomes a successful composer, a friend of the Prince, and a social lion. Constance has remained true to her love for Rob and on his return to England, he woos and wins her for his wife. As Rob says, “The good fairies have led me to the beautiful country after all, and our story, Constance, can end in the proper way.” There are also pretty love affairs between Nina and Capt, Jerome and Zara and Sinfo, and many comedy scenes by Sinfo and Marto.

I know I can. Please let me,” begged Martha of her father, the Doctor. “Well, I’ll think about it. You know you’ve never driven alone at night, and the way is lonely. It’ll be midnight before you get home and this is Hallowe’en, the ghost night, you know,” her father began to tease her. But he had pi'omised to bring the medicine that night and as he had now been called away he let Martha go. She started away at dusk and after leaving the lane, stopped and closed the gate so the cows couldn’t get out. She drove the car slowly at first. Everything was so beautiful. This was the best season of the year. The leaves told stories to her as she rode over them and the trees waved their emptying branches letting more leaves fall. The shocked corn in the fields seemed like sentries there to protect her. Going home she drove faster for she had tarried at the house listening to ghost stories. Now every sudden shadow startled her and it seemed that at any moment something would dart out from behind the trees and stop her. She kept becoming more nervous. She was now only about half a mile from home and nothing had happened yet, so she felt easier. But what was that in front of her. She strained her eyes but could see nothing. She pressed the light in the car on and glanced at her watch. It was twelve o’clock! Again she saw the white thing—right in front of the car. It’s large eyes were like coals of fire and it seemed to be held up in the air with no body at all. She screamed but had enough presence of mind to stop the car. The thing came toward her—slowly, steadily. But suddenly her nerves became calmed. And yet the thing advanced. She climbed from the car and grabbed a stick. She had it lifted ready to strike when the moon came out from a cloud and she saw that it was Whiteface, their cow. Winnifred Pease, ’26. Learning has come into the world not merely to clear men’s eyes and give them mastery over nature and human circumstances, but also to keep them young, never staled, always new like the stars, and the hills and the sea and the vagrant winds, which make nothing of times or occasions, but live always in serene freedom from any touch of decay, the courses of their being some high law which we cannot disturb. Woodrow Wilson. Thirty-nine PARTIES The school had a contest selling tickets for the Lyceum Course. The Barney Googles won and the Sunshines had to give them a party. It was the first High School party of the year; and, Did we have any fun? Well I guess; Just ask any student Of W. H. S. It seemed rather strange with all those little “Freshies” there. The Sophomores gave a wiener roast for the Freshman class. It was also attended by various other people. The teachers were absent; but the fun was not. From the looks of some of them the next day, we believe there was a little injustice done. There seemed to be too many kids for the wieners and too many wieners for the buns, and —; but, 0 well, they had a good time anyway. Another contest was held between the “Reds”, “Oranges”, and “Greens” for selling Country Gentleman subscriptions. The “Greens” showed just how “green” they were by coming out ahead. But they had a close race with the “Oranges”, and left the “Reds” far behind. A party was the result of this, too; and the dear “little mumpies” couldn’t come. It was too bad, for we didn’t have any lights. It was the week before Christmas and we had a Christmas tree, and exchanged gifts, and ate candy and everything. Some even had a little mistletoe; but it was soon “missed”. The refreshments were------! But we under- stand. You see the stove wouldn’t work and consequently—no cocoa. But we do like warm milk! The Dietrich twins gave a birthday party for the Junior and Senior classes, teachers, and some of their friends. Everyone had a fine time. “Who do you love best?” It’s a nice little game before you know the joke. Yes, and everyone had his fortune told, too. Forty ([CARDINAIJJ ORCHESTRA VIOLINS R. Clem. M.

I blew a pile of dough For thee two years ago And now you refuse to go Or won’t, or can’t. Through town and countryside You were my joy and pride Oh, happy day I love thy gaudy hue, Thy nice white tires so new Now you are down and out for true In every way. To thee, old rattle box Come many bumps and knocks For thee, I grieve. Frayed are thy seats and worn Badly thy top is torn The whooping cough affects thy horn I do believe. Thy perfume swells the breeze While good folks choke and sneeze As we pass by I paid for thee a price ’Twould buy a mansion thrice Now everbody’s yelling “Ice” I wonder why. The motor has the grippe, Thy spark plugs have the pip, And woe is thine. I too have suffered chills Ague and kindred ills Endeavoring to pay my bills Since thou wer’t mine. Gone is my bank roll now —No more ’twould choke a cow As once before. Yet, if I had the yen, So help me, John—Amen— I’d buy myself a car again And spend some more. Forty-two GENERAL ATHLETICS The Athletic teams of W. C. H. S. have just completed a very successful season for the year 1924-1925. The year has been successful both from a financial standpoint and from the number of games won. In baseball the fall season was quite successful. Out of three games played Warrensburg came out as winner twice and the one game lost was by a very small margin. Quite a bit of new material was developed this year which means that those on the team that graduate will be replaced by experienced men. The basket-ball season just closed has been the most successful ever completed in the four years basketball has been played here. Out of a total of sixteen games played Warrensburg was victor in eleven. This does not include tournament games. In tournaments Warrensburg participated in two; one at Stonington in which the team took second place cup; the other at Decatur in the annual district tournament where Warrensburg placed third. The team went up against the “accident jinx” this year but met it successfully, as our scores show. The mumps hindered quite a good deal with basketball and when “King” was injured things looked pretty dark, but they were not so very long. This season will be especially remembered because of the defeat administered to Argenta. This was the first time in four years that Warrensburg has succeeded in defeating Argenta in basketball and for this reason the victory was that much dearer. Another accomplishment was the defeat the team administered to Maroa at the District Tournament where the team took third place in which such teams as Atwood, Loving-ton, Monticello, and Bement competed. At this time although the track team has not definitely been chosen it is known that there is good material reporting for practice and with this in mind we are confident of a very good track team. We are at some disadvantage for lack of a proper athletic field for running and field events but nevertheless we are able to rank with and above other schools in our county that have this advantage. Tennis is a new sport in our High School, but is nevertheless a very popular one. Our tennis representative defeated one from Latham in a singles match last fall. This accomplishment speaks well for our school in this sport. In this general review of our athletics we have tried to give you some idea of how our school is standing in athletic competition with other schools. Our athletic teams wish to take this means of thanking all who are boosting for W. C. H. S. athletics and in this way are helping spread the name and honor of our High School.

(Not in picture)—Haines, Janvrin. The W. C. H. S. opened its baseball season on the third of September with fifteen men out for practice. The fall baseball season was rather short, due to the fact that the majority of the surrounding High Schools devote most of their time to football. Only three games were held and in two of these we were defeated. Harry Oakes our “star pitcher” was captain of the team.

Front row (sitting): James, Hall, Schroeder (captain), Slonaker, E. Pease. Basketball practice started Oct. 13th with twenty-one men reporting for the initial practice. With a gocd gym for our practice sessions, we were able to develop a speedy quintet, even though the “jinks” seemed to hover over us in the form of mumps and injuries. From the financial standpoint and from the standpoint of winning games, basketball is proving a great success in Warrensburg. $65.55 was taken in at the door the night of the Maroa game. A look at our record which follows will convince you that our team was successful this year from the standpoint of winning games. Niantic, 3; W. C. H. S., 10 Kenney, 15; W. C. H. S., 17 Latham, 8; W.

As it is against the rules of the Illinois Athletic Association for the High School girls to form a regular school team, an independent team was formed with Helen Crossman as business manager, and Katherine Albeit as Captain. In addition to this, two school teams, the “Reds” and “Greens” were formed, with Miss Kenney as coach. These teams played a game as “curtain raiser” for the boys. The following games were played by the Independent team. Maroa 13 Warrensburg. 4 Latham .13 Warrensburg ... 9 Maroa 48 Warrensburg ... 7 Although the number of games played were few and the scores show no victories for Warrensburg, we feel that we gained much in fun and in sportsmanship. Forty-seven CARDINAL THE “W” CLUB “W”CLUB Standing (Left to right) : Pyles, James, Orr, Oakes, Waggoner. Sitting: Robinson, E. Pease, Schroeder, Slonaker. The “W” club was organized in 1923, by the five letter men under the direction of coach Orr. Since that time it has grown until now it is one of the chief organizations of our school. The membership of this club consists of baseball, basketball and track men. To qualify one must play forty per cent of the baseball, basketball or score five points in tracks. The club manages the finances of all branches of athletics and has done much toward the financial end of the Cardinal. The first year of the organization closed with a meritable record. The following year the club was re-organized with eleven members. Again the organization experienced a profitable year, and it was proclaimed a permanent institution. The club lost from its numbers three members this year leaving a total membership of eight. Virgil Schroeder was elected president and this has been one year with a clear record. We consider the “W” club one of the main institutions of W. C. H. S., not only from a financial standpoint but as a factor in creating a spirit of co-operation and sportsmanship in our school athletics, and we are hopeful of their continuing this creditable pace. Forty-eight ([CARDINAL)) TRACK Left to right, back row (standing) : Waggoner, James, Kerwood, Oakes, Orr. Front row (standing) : M. Pease, Ault, Hall, Nottleman, Eyman, Haines. Sitting: Pyles, C. Waller, D. Waller, Slonaker. The track team of 1925 composed of fourteen members started workouts at the close of the basketball season. Track has been a major sport in Warrensburg High School for three years. The first team was formed in 1923 with Professor Orr as coach. Teams in the past years have been very successful in the number of meets won. Some of our meets have been with Latham, Waynesville, and Niantic. Warrensburg High has also sent a track team each year to the county track meet. Last year was an especially good one in the number of meets won. During the season we defeated Niantic and Latham and placed second in the county meet held at Argenta. At the meet we competed with Macon, Mount Zion, Argenta, Blue Mound, Niantic, and Maroa. We are slightly handicapped in that we have no athletic field but considering this we feel that track has been a very successful sport in our High School. In track as in basketball and baseball we are taught the necessity of keeping our temper, in order that we might do the best work and win. In this we feel that we have been very successful.

It’s a long corridor that has no couples. Fifty-jive | Who Is Speaking j= The young man who lacked nerve, called over the telephone and asked papa’s consent to wed his daughter. This was the answer: “Yes. Who is speaking?” Turned out to be rather easy, after all. We can’t reach all the people over the telephone. That’s why we advertise, so everybody will know right away just who is speaking. We want you to become a patron of our Bank.

However great the need, however zealous the desire, however fine the ideal; there can be no continuance of growth without sound organization. Organization enables this store to serve great numbers of people daily; it enables us to seek new sources of supply, and to buy in cost-reducing quantities; it enables us to seek less expensive ways of conducting our business, thereby making lower prices possible; and it enables us to provide many free services for our customers and their families.
