L Faye nineteen THE CARDINAL SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 1, 1924, thirty-five students enrolled in W. C. H. S. as Freshmen. This was the largest class in school. My! How scared they were. They soon got over their fright as the work progressed. The big event of the year was a party given by the Sophs. They did their part in making the carnival a success and several of their number had leading roles in the operetta, “The Gypsy Rover”. The year was over all too soon. At last another September arrived. But three members of the previous year failed to return. In Glee Club and society the Sophs did their best. Several members were elected to the Annual staff. They were well represented in the school play, “Am I Intruding?” At the end of the year everyone felt that he had done his part towards making the year a success. Would September of ’26 ever arrive? At last it came. Thirty-one jolly Juniors greet us at W. C. H. S. The Senior Class was so small that the Juniors felt they were almost as important as if they were Seniors. They put on a Junior play and aided in the operetta. They were well represented in everything: Annual, society, athletics, etc. They gave the Seniors a big banquet in the spring. This year passed very quickly. Seniors! How proud they were to receive that title although only twenty-three received it. Yet, they had the honor of being the largest class to graduate from W. C. H. S. They took part in all activities of the year. SENIOR WILL We, the departing Class of 1928, do sorrowfully make this last Will and Testament: I, Mildred Crantz, do bequeath my ability as a first-rate dissenter to Christy Albert.

Page twenty one THE CARDINAL A DAY DKEAM My thoughts now set upon the mast To see the future of my class. My ship sails on to see What has become of Charlie. In Chicago, there I find 1 Ie’s an electrician on the line. And there with him is Lene, Stepping stately as a queen. On to Decatur I go. There I find Mary, Erma and Flo. Mary’s a typist, Flo works in a store, Erma’s a singer and everyone knows her. In white cap and apron is Lucille Koons, Softly and quietly she steps into sick rooms. Then to Warrensburg, and here I find Ruth and her friend running the “Times”. Ethel, Virginia and Helen teach school, W here children are slapped if they don’t mind the rule. Pete is running the lumber yard. Dan’s his assistant and works quite hard. Now, John Lehn, I’ve often heard tell, On a farm is doing quite well. In Springfield, I find Iiillis the doctor; Well known for his work and quite popular. Here, Richard and Stanley are running a store, Where people come in to shop by the score. Wallace’s profession, “Teach Women to Drive”, Now isn’t that a big surprise? Then I landed at the IJ. of I. Where Harold is teacher of the sky. Mildred, is out in the West, To learn to ride, she’s doing her best. And Lucille Andes, I hear. Is engaged to a descendant of Paul Revere! Velma and Pauline, stenographers are they, Who work quite hard, but good is the pay. Lulu is traveling out on the sea, To learn the mysteries of history. Where’s John Albert ? I can’t decide, ’Cause my aeroplane’s taking a grand nose dive. —Ida Bell Major.

The Juniors, as they have always done, took their place in school life and were well represented in school activities. Two of their members made the basketball squad while they were also represented in track. Don’t think the boys are the only workers of the class for the girls took part in the Glee Club and the literary societies. The Juniors will put on a class play late in the school year. They are also slated to put on the Junior-Senior banquet. Well, folks, watch us go next year.

It’s known both far and near, And tho’ this poem’s hard to rhyme, It gives me great good cheer To introduce to you: Our president, Mr. Paxton, Who labors at Latin all day long, Tho’ it gives his nerves a rackin’. And then there’s Christy— He’s Luke’s pal. Chickie Elder’s next in line. His cartoons are certainly fine. He has a grin that’s very wide, And lie’s rather broad on either side. Velma Schroeder’s quite a flirt, She likes anything that wears a shirt. Ivetta Kerwood—that’s her chum— Can certainly make a typewriter hum. Orbie Young has curly hair, And’s going to build caskets to show at the fair. Cecil Shutter, a future basketball star, Quit school, for he had to come too far. Faye Mallinson’s the preacher’s daughter. But she does some things she hadn’t oughter. Josephine’s next, her last name’s Kruzan, She can play the piano to heat the band.' Harold Sheneman’s last ; But he’s a very fine boy, And to see him blush Gives one’s heart a joy. Our Junior class is very fine. It’s known both far and near, And tho’ this poem was hard to rhyme, It gives me great good cheer, To know this epic of our class Is ended, right now! And here! Josephine Kruzan.

When we entered High School in our Freshman year, there were nearly twenty-five students. After the school term had been completed we found that some had quit, some had failed their course, and one had decided to try married life. This year we have had our class elections, with the following members elected to office: President ...........................Cecil Andes Vice-President ........................Joe Major Secretary-Treasurer ...........Kathryn Robbins During our High School life, some of our members have been very energetic in the school activities and have held different offices. This year we are represented in basketball, having two men on the squad; also two of our members are on the Cardinal staff. We have already given the Freshman-Sophomore Party, which is given every year. We feel as if we shall become more active in the school life before we have completed the four years of High School.

Students leaving High School, students entering High School, and the teachers were the honored guests. The lemonade tasted rather peculiar, hut there were enough cookies to go around and everyone enjoyed himself. THE FROSH SOPH PARTY Through the rainy, foggy evening crept mysterious, queer-looking figures. Finally they assembled at the High School gym. The night of the Frosh-Soph Party had arrived at last. Everyone thought Charlotte was Helen and Helen was Charlotte until they unmasked. Then there was a good laugh. In spite of all their fears the Frosh were not initiated and they went home unharmed. Although there were but a few present, everyone had a good time. CHRISTMAS PARTY Everyone was wondering what would happen on the night of Tuesday, December 19th. A Christmas Party had been planned by the committee in charge. Everyone was happy and eager for the night to come. At last Tuesday night came. As soon as they had arrived partners were chosen and the group was evenly divided to represent two colleges. Harvard and Yale. Then several contests were held. A prize was given to the winning college or person after each contest. After the contests several games were played. “Ask Mr. Ausbury if he knows how to play Farmyard.” The stage was decorated with a Christmas tree. Around this tree were many presents. These presents were distributed, then refreshments were served. Everyone was tired and ready to go home. Everyone took part in the games and the party was a success. The committees were well paid for their hard work by the compliment that the party was the best in the history of W. C. H. S. THE W CLUB BANQUET On the 22nd of March, the I’arent-Teachers’ Association gave its annual ban uqtein honor of the W Club—this year’s basketball squad also being special guests. The guests of honor had a very good time as the members of the club are seldom assembled except at the annual initiation and the annual banquet.

The fear dates back to the time when, as a mere youngster, our house was broken into by burglars and my father fired upon them. The bullet just grazed his cheek, and I almost died from fright. Since then 1 have been afraid of such intruders. 1 bore this in mind when I built my own home and worked out a neat little defense. All the sleeping rooms were placed upstairs and at a tend in the stairway I put a low window. My idea was that if a gentleman adventurer were to enter the lower part of my house during any hour of the night, 1 could keep him at a safe distance. I cared not if he bagged the silver, grand piano, dining table, buffet, and the rest of the things, so long as he left me alone. If, however, he attempted to mount my staircase to take my jewels, 1 would lie on the upper hall floor and shoot him when his form became outlined in my window. I had an opportunity to test the efficiency of this burglar-trap last winter. It was the first warm night following a cold snap, and a heavy sleet covered everything. I was alone in the house, as the rest of the family had gone over to grandmother’s for the night. About the middle of the night I sat up in bed and wondered what was making my hair stand on end. Soon I found out. “Pop!” It came from downstairs. It could be only one thing! Someone was stealing across the floor! It was a burglar! I began frantically to paw under my pillow for my six-shooter. _ m “Good heavens!” I gasped. “It’s downstairs on top of the kitchen cabinet!” “Pop! Pop!” “Murder! He‘s heading for the stairway,” said my imagination. I must hold that point by all means!” I proceeded to get quietly out of bed to search for a weapon. I made no noise to speak of, but I bumped my head on the corner of the dresser, and stepped on a potted plant, which T had removed from the window shelf to protect it from the frost. “Pop”, from downstairs. “Now. what will I meet him with?” T gasped panic-stricken, and began fumbling around the wash-stand for an appropriate weapon with which to slay the intruder. I alighted upon a cake of soap, grasped it intently, and crept, almost crawling to the head of the stairs. I breathed a sigh of relief. The window was still clear. Pop! Pop! Pop!” “Oh. he’s coming closer to the stairs.” I raised myself a little more and poised my chunk of ivory. I expected every moment to see the window darkened by the bulky form of the house-breaker. Rut he came not. The popping continued. “Merciful heavens! Why doesn’t he come on and end this? I gasped, as 1 wiped the cold sweat from my brow. There came a quick succession of pops and a sudden rush. The window was momentarily darkened. Mv tense nerves snapped. “Get out of here!” I yelled, and flung the product of the soap factory. The window had as suddenly cleared and the soap lay in the garden with a thousand and one pieces of glass around it. The cold air which rushed through Pane thirty-three THE CARDINAL the opening seemed to bring me to my senses. I sat down limply on the top step and burst into a shriek of laughter. “You big fool,” I gasped, “the burglar was simply the ice slipping off the slate roof.” I crawled back into bed hoping I could get things fixed and properly cleared up l efore the folks returned and saw the wreck. (This story placed first in the short story contest conducted by the Warrensburg State Bank.) AN ILLUSTRIOUS PERSONAGE AS WE SEE HIM, AND AS HE IS Professor George Lester Orr absent-mindedly finished his breakfast, reached in his pocket for a toothpick and across the table for cigarettes. He arose, took his hat and started out the door. “Mr. Orr!” screamed Mrs. Sharp, as he made his exit, “you’ve forgotten your overcoat.” “Oh, let it rest,” he replied. As he sauntered up the street he thought, “I must quit eating so many pota-otes, I’m really getting quite fleshy.” The students gathered on the corner thought, “there goes the professor, I bet he is thinking about giving us a test.” After a few hours, while presiding over study hall, his eagle eye seeming to note your every move, he arrived at this conclusion: “I guess I’ll not eat any potatoes for dinner tonight and see if I can’t lose a couple of pounds.” Miss Pritchett at this moment went bouncing across the room on her way down to the office where it was warmer. Mr. Orr. contemplating the peaceful scene (r) before him, debated this question in his mind: “I wonder what her rate of speed is per hour?” At noon, while eating lunch. Professor Orr announced to Mrs. Sharp his decision and suggested that they have no potatoes for dinner. Mrs. Sharp, horrified, exclaimed, “But, my dear professor, I just can’t eat dinner without my potatoes”. And thus the subject was settled. Everyone noticed how stately the professor was as he walked very dignified ly down the street. Really, he was thinking that “Gene” hadn’t shaved him to suit his taste the night before. He giggled as he imagined how he would look if he tried to shave himself. Later, when he broached the subject to Mr. Ausbury, the coach, he laughed as he said, “People would think I had been fighting with Mrs. Sharp if I should try that”. He became very angry when the advanced algebra class was more dumb than usual. “The little numbskulls,” he thought contemptuously, “I never could pound anything into their heads.” Though indignant, and angry outwardly, in reality he was very disgusted. That evening he ate no potatoes for dinner, and afterwards, having a very empty feeling in his thoracic region, he went to the restaurant and bought a couple of hamburgers. At last bedtime arrived and, having donned his silk, lavender pajamas, he picked up a comb and parted his hair on the wrong side. “Well, today has been pretty successful.” he said, “but really I must get a new bottle of hair tonic.” (Finis) Josephine Kruzan. Payc thirty four THE CARDINAL YES, WE HAVE NO EXCITEMENT Lila Murphy and her pal, Margie Dome, were carrying on a heated argument in the assembly of Westville C. H. S. “Hi! old beans,” sang out a merry voice, “why all the animation so early in the morning?” “O, Mickey, you’re the very person we want,” cried Lila, pulling down upon her lap the owner of the merry voice, a slim, tall girl with tawnv hair, laughing eyes, and smiling lips. “Spill it,” she said. “We crave excitement,” interposed Margie. “What to do?” “Ask me another,” laughed Mickey, “but, speaking seriously, why not have a taffy pull? The folks are going to lodge tonight and the house will be just going to waste. What say, gang?” “O, Mickey,” they chorused eagerly, “we’ll be there sooner than possible.” None of them noticed Slats Arlington across the aisle, to all intents and purposes buried in American history. A queer, little smile lurked in the corners of his mouth as he slapped his book on the desk and sauntered across the room to converse with friends Slick and Cocky. By seven o’clock the hilarious trio were gathered in the kitchen of Mickey’s home. In its kettle the taffy bubbled merrily, sending up fragrant wisps of steam. Mickey was Charlestoning the popper over the stove in time to her own nimble movements. Lila and Margie were, as usual, in the midst of a heated debate over nothing. “O, migosh,” gasped Mickey, stopping in the middle of a high and handsome kick, “I saw a face in that window, so I did.” “The taffy,” yelled Margie, rushing to rescue it from the wrath of the fire. In the bustle that attended the pouring of the golden liquid, the face was forgotten. The plates of molten candy were placed on the porch; the popcorn duly salted, buttered and dipped into. “Yumyum,” mumbled Margie through a mouthful, “this pop—” “Sh!” whispered Mickey, “footsteps!” With one accord they rushed for the porch in time to see a trousered leg disappear around a corner. The candy was gone. “Knotheads,” yelled Mickey, “I hope your teeth all have cavities in them.” A throaty chuckle close at hand sent them scurrying back to the kitchen and the popcorn. “C’mon. gang, let’s adjourn to regions farther forward. This kitchen gives me the creeps,” said Mickey, picking up the pan of corn and leading the way to the living room. In the dimly-lighted living room a bright fire glowed, casting ruddy gleams of coziness over the room. Fortified with cushions and popcorn, the girls prepared to enjoy themselves. Lila raised up to adjust one of her cushions to a more comfortable angle. Glancing toward the door, she moaned, “Look!” The girls followed her shaking forefinger. There in the flickering half-light gleamed the menacing barrel of a fierce-looking revolver. The girls nearly fell in the fire from fright, for behind that revolver was a black masked face. “W-what d-do you w-want,” stammered Mickey, “all our s-silver is p-plated.” “There, there, little girl! I don’t want your silver, I want something to eat. T can’t stand it any longer,” quavered the burglar in a creaking falsetto, while he patted his stomach suggestively. Payc thirty-five THE CARDINAL “W-well,” said Mickey, not quite convinced, “give us your gun and we’ll teed you.’’ Without a word the burglar handed over his gun. “Now, you two kids mush him out to the kitchen and guard him while I get the eats,” she continued. The burglar was “mushed” to the kitchen and seated upon a stool in a conveniently guarded corner. He seemed to be the victim of strange choking fits, during which he shook all over. Mickey was rummaging in the cupboard when quick footsteps sounded on the porch. She grasped the handle of the bread knife and stood prepared for what might come. The door burst open. In dashed Slick and Cocky, wild-eyed and breathless. The girls’ eyes nearly popped out at the sight of this fresh apparition. “Are we in time?” gasped Slick. “There’s a burglar running loose,” supplemented Cocky, “and we saw him run in here.” “Yes,” shrieked Mickey wildly waving the bread knife in the general direction of the stool, “there he—” The bread knife fell to the floor with a bang for there on the burglar’s stool sat Slats Arlington, with a grin all over his face and nonchalantly swinging his black mask. Mouth open, the girls stared vacantly at him while the boys doubled up with laughter. Mickey was the first to find her tongue. “Say,” she said weakly, “if we didn’t get excitement it sure isn’t anybody’s business.” “All right, sweetheart, we’ll take the credit,” grinned Slats, “now make us some fudge.” “That’s right,” agreed Slick, “one good turn deserves another; anyway, the taffy was burnt.” (This story placed second in the short story contest conducted by the IVarrensburg State Bank.) THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF YOUR HEAD BEING ROUND INSTEAD OF SQUARE What would this world be like if all of the people were block-headed? It would not be an easy job for the hat sellers to fit everybody. They would be fitting your head by its area rather than its circumference. For my part, I think it is much better to have a round head instead of a square one, because of all the knocks and bumps that may come in contact with thy pate the corners might be crushed in. This would be very humiliating because your head would then look like a dilapidated cardboard box. Another great advantage in one’s head being round is that the brain may bump against the cranium and not be injured, while if the head was square the brain might he squeezed into the different corners and the person would be scatterbrained. If blockheadedness was prominent, all combs would have to be discarded because we wouldn’t be able to comb our hair. Hair brushes would increase in sales very rapidly. Spectacles and false teeth would be much harder to fit for a person than they are now. Another thing, if our heads were square, everyone would be able to stand on their heads without any trouble at all. Richard Beau,.

A STORY WITHOUT A TALE (Facts on the Art of Getting Wet) Nothing is more refreshing than a shower bath. To take one, simply step under the shower and turn a little wheel which reads, “hot”. Of course, you want a hot shower first and then a cold spray. The water will come out hot at first but, for your health, just stay with it. It will sear your hide like they do a hog’s when butchering. Then leap from the showers with a roar, striking your shoulder on the imitation marble inclosure, and landing on the floor in a heap, arise blowing inhaled steam from your lungs and try it again with more caution. Maybe it ought to be turned half off and the cold water one-half way on. After you’re used to it, turn the cold water on. You reach for your breath which has been taken away and firmly convinced there is a thin coat of ice on your back, emerge from the water and grab for the towel, which, being out of reach, your foot slips and when the towel is recovered it is nothing but a wet rag. Now, all you have to do is crawl into your clothes and it’s all over. Harot.d Shrnp.man. MISS SHORT Miss Short is short, quite true to her name.

Sitting: Charlie Hanes, Hermann Nottelmann, Stanley Beall, I Jan Hursh, Harold Vaughan. We started basketball practice the last week of September. About thirty boys reported for the first practice session. All of last year’s squad, composed of S. Beall, Vaughan, Nottelmann, Hanes, Hursh. Staley, and Paxton, reported. To this squad were added Shutter, Gulick, Shephard, Brown, and R. Beall. The rest of the boys were formed into the second squad which practiced twice a week. The first game was played November 3rd with Argenta, who won by a margin of one basket. The team played erratic ball at times but the season as a whole is considered a success by the number of games won as well as financially. The thing that hurt most was the fact that Latham, our old rivals, won both games this year, but they had a good team, as was later proved when they won the district tournament. Page forty-three THE CARDINAL Decatur was on our schedule this year for the first time. Although we lost the game, we feel that the publicity and experience gained, more than offset the loss. Since seven members of this year’s squad graduated, next year’s team will be inexperienced. So, to give them a better start, Mr. Ausbury, the coach, decided to start practice for them as soon as the regular season is concluded. A second team was formed of the varsity reserves. This team played a short schedule, winning a majority of their games. They showed lots of scrap and got much experience. MACON COUNTY TOURNAMENT In the first Annual Macon County Tournament held at Blue Mound, VV. C. H. S., a dark horse, made things hot for Argenta, the favorite to win the affair. W. C. H. S. met Macon in the first game. At the end of the first half it looked like a defeat for the Cardinal tossers by virtue of a 6-1 lead held by their opponents. In the second half they ran true to form and won the game by a close score. In the second game, which was against Argenta, the opponents piled up an 18-11 advantage in the first half, but in the next half we staged a great rally, scoring four field goals and holding the future champions to two free throws; but dropped the thriller by a 20-19 count. In the consolation game Warrensburg battled Niantic, trailing until the last four minutes of play, when, with Niantic holding a three-point lead, the boys got hot and scored twelve points, thus bringing home the third place cup. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Warrensburg suffered a defeat in its first game of the Decatur District Tournament. Mt. Zion drew the curtain that closed the prep basketball careers of seven Seniors.

The heavens and earth about me, Inclosed my soul with dread. Why should there be a tomorrow? Why come the break of day? When it will only prolong the sorrow, Of the one God took away. Last night as I stood by my window, I saw that one so gay. The golden gates had opened wide To let her pass that way. No more did she feel the pain, sir. That seemed to drive her insane. But, no more was she with me here, sir, Instead, far, far away. And. as 1 stood by my window, And saw that one at rest, A vision appeared before me, “He knoweth best.” Yes, she has left her home on earth, sir, The sin, the care, the strife. To dwell among the saints, sir, Where only peace abides. Velma Baum. Pmjc forty nine THE CARDINAL JOKES Tony Elder: “Why should they celebrate George Washington’s birthday anymore than mine?

Robert Willard : “What does your brother study in school ?” Nelson V.: “Cooking, I guess. He is always talking about his sugar plum and his sweetie pie.” “I’ve lost another pupil,” said the professor as his glass eye rolled down the sink. Josephine: “Say, what is an usher?” Christy: “That’s the guy who takes the leading part in the show.” “If a girl had eyes like her father, would she be pop eyed?” Miss Pritchett: “You can’t sleep in this class.” Stan: “I know it, with you making all that fuss.” He failed in English, flunked in lab; They softly heard him hiss, “I’d like to find the man who said That ignorance is bliss.” Dan Hursh: “Are you going to roam around?” Miss Pritchett: “No, I am going to Rome, Italy.” Pete: “Honest, Velma, my shotgun let out a roar and there were two dead rabbits.” Velma S.: “How long had they been dead?” Stanley (at 1 o’clock) : “Oh, Dick, wake up! I can just feel there’s a mouse in the room.” Dick (drowsily) : “Well, just feel there’s a cat, too, and go to sleep.” Miss Pritchett: “LTse ‘boycott’ in a sentence.” Nelson: “It rained last night and the bov caught a cold.” Cleona: “I have an uncle who is an author.” Eloise : “Is that so?” Cleona: “Yes, and sometimes he spends a whole week on one line.” Eloise: “Oh, that’s nothing, I have an uncle who spent a whole year on one sentence.” You shock me,” said the corn to the farmer.

Further than this, Blue Ribbon books enjoy a constant personal contact service, available all through the year at the staff’s call. Assistance to the Business Manager in helping with the problems of subscriptions and the assistance in the sale of advertising space, credited by many as being the greatest help offered by any organization in the field, are additional features of Blue Ribbon Service. The size of a book or school makes no difference in Blue Ribbon production, for there is just one set of standard methods of producing a book. That is why all Blue Ribbon annuals are of the highest grade materials and workmanship. Latest developments in style are always found in Blue Ribbon books, yet the novelties that pass with the night are never approached. An annual is built for future years. Hence, the proper care and due consideration of all details are reflected in Blue Ribbon annuals. You may be proud of your annual if it is a Blue Ribbon book printed by Herald Printings, Stationery Co.

To give something electrical from a famous electric line means giving something that lasts and serves. Nothing could be more appropriate than to remember the June bride, graduate or wedding anniversary with a lasting, serviceable gift rather than some mere sentimental remembrance that serves only for a few hours. Electric appliances shorten household tasks, add joy to housework and save labor and strength. You cannot choose more wisely than to give an electric appliance.
