In a feie more days, when he teas sure of his wing strength, he gave him instructions in flying. He taught him how to spread his wings and slowly sail from tree to tree; how to fly in short broken curves, to avoid the aim of a hunter; hoiv to turn abruptly in the air and make a quick dash after a bug or an enemy. He taught him the proper angle at which to breast a stiff wind, and that he always should meet a storm head first, so that the water would run as the plumage lay.” 15- THE CARDINAL 4= Marion Chekker — “Lank'’ III liis faults were such that one loved him I he belter for them.

It was the seventh day of September, in the year of 1926, when twenty-nine gay, frolicksome youngsters assembled on the bank of the School Campus. They gazed with wistful eyes at the great ship which was going to take them on a four years cruise of Education. The name of this good ship was “W. C. H. S.” We had often fancied ourselves walking along its stately deck, and how happy we were to think that at last our dreams were to come true. Sharply at 8:45 o’clock, our leader, Joe Major, shouted, “All aboard!” and we entered the assembly, to be greeted by our captain, Mr. Orr. At first the days seemed long and toilsome. We thought we should never become accustomed to our duties; but after the first month, the time flew too fast. Our journey was made safely and without many severe storms, but we ran into several hurricanes which our sh’pmates called Exams”. Finally we sailed into the harbor of Vacation. On September 6, 1927, we resumed our journey, with only eighteen classmates. On October 8, Madge Littrell appeared on the deck of our ship. Cecil Andes became our leader and, under her guidance, we entertained the Freshmen at a party held in the ball room gym. We took part in the social activities, such as Glee Club, Basketball, Societies, and the Cardinal. The following year, we set out for the port of the Junior Class. Early on September 5, 1928, we reached our destination, leaving behind us six of our fellow passengers. A new man, Marion Cheffer, had become a member of our crew, and James Wharton was our leader. We moved along over the smooth waters of the Class Rooms, until we again entered the harbor of Vacation. On September 4, 1929, we set sail for our last port, the Senior Class. Our number had decreased to eleven, but the remaining people were hard workers and good fighters, and Madge Littrell was chosen as the leader. At last our journey is ended, but we shall never forget the short, happy days we have spent aboard the “W. C. H. S.”, while we watched her gay-colored flag of cardinal and gold, floating out on the cool breezes. Now, after a few months of vacation, we shall soon set sail on another voyage, which shall determine our usefulness in the future, to our fellow-men. Madge Littrell.

Flower - 20 - Silver and Gold .......Red Rose THE CARDINAL SENIOR WILL We, the distinguished and noted members of the Class of 1930, know that we must pass into that unknown world beyond the high school rooms, and do have some valuable possessions which we cannot take with us. We have decided, therefore, to will these things to our lower classmates so that they may still be in use in the Warrensburg High School. We, the Class of 1930, leave unto the classes as a whole some wonderful things. To the Freshmen, the wit and mischievousness of the Seniors. To the Sophomores, a caution to watch deportment grades. To the Juniors, the responsibilities of running the school the following year. Each member of the class thinks it his duty to leave something for which he is noted. I, Marion Cheffer, do will some of my lofty stature to Gene Willard. I, Howard Williams, do bequeath my studiousness to Harold Chumbley. I, James Wharton, do will some of my surplus weight to Goldie Binkley. I, Everett Brown, do will my ability for playing basketball to Herschel Shene- man. I. illiam Gillen, do give my ability for writing stories to Willard Buckley. I, Joe Major, do will my good looks and ability for love-making to Eucien Willard. I. Cleona Stephens, do bequeath my winsome ways to Leota Steele, hoping that she uses them as effectively as I have. I, ElvaLena Albert, give my position as a typist to Obie Young. I, Kathryn Robbins, do give my love for eating candy to Mildred Crossman. I, LolaBelle Spitzer, give to Nelson Vaughan, my beloved pastime of debating. I, Madge Eittrell, do give, with greatest sincerity, my love affairs to William Botts. (Signed) The Senior Ci.ass By: Madge Eittrell Marion Cheffer.

James, a policeman, with flat feet and all. Strolls down the streets of Montreal; While Kathryn’s voice, so soft and sweet, Announces, “We’ll now hear ‘Piccolo Pete’.” And Howard, poor boy, how we pity him! Has fourteen children and looks very grim. Cleona is the first lady of the land, She holds the country in the palm of her hand. Far off in that cold country, Labrador, Marion Cheffer is our ambassador. Everett, a trapeze performer is he, Who draws a crowd while making whoopee! Madge, on the same bill with Everett each day, Dances on her toes and to the music does sway. LolaBelle is the wife of a lawyer grand, And keeps him arguing “to beat the band”. Joseph is a doctor and saves many lives, And even once cured a case of hives. Elvalena Albert is a Latin teacher, And the pupils think she’s some preacher. William is running a hot dog stand. And doesn’t make money as he had planned. Take heed, my friends, and never fear, For in the future this will appear! Madge Littrei.l LolaBei.ee Spitzer Cleona Stephens. MY LIZZIE A pal of mine it is indeed, Not much for looks, but oh the speed! Around the corner, up the hill, It’s one that can provide the thrill. To school we go from day to day To join our friends in work and play; We often are a little late, But that’s my own, not Lizzie’s fate. In rain it is a duck, almost, But say, it’s better not to boast; In snow it is an awful woe, And absolutely will not go. For this old can I’ll do my bit. And try to keep it full and fit, If it will always do its share And split the wind to get me there. Marion CiiEFEER _ 22 _ —-THE CARDINAL— THE VOICE OF NOWAJNDA Where the mighty river rushes the narrows. Two tribes, hostile and warring. One on either side, shooting hostile arrows, Getting revenge, death for death. But through this hatred There were lovers. One The son of the mighty chieftain. Rushing Water. And the other, a lowly maiden, and of opposite tribe. Still flared the hatred; Still kindled the love. At last the lovers whispered, Whispered of swimming the narrows, Leaving far behind the fighting tribesmen, Leaving far behind the hostile arrows. They started. Faced the harsh and growling waters, Faced the danger of the waters. When they reached the narrows. Narrows of the growling waters, The chieftain, who seethed with anger, Commanded his son to leave her, There to perish ameng the foaming waters, Foaming waters of the narrows. No heed Owawha paid, but straightway Started for the shore of his fathers. Ire raised in the mighty chieftain. Chieftain who straightway shot an arrow, An arrow aimed for the Indian maiden. Owawha, seeing of his father’s aim, Swam into the path of the arrow, Into the path of the whizzing arrow, An arrow that went true to aim. Angry grew' the growling waters. Waters that beat about the maiden. The maiden child perished in the narrows, Perished with the word, “Owawha”. “Owawdia” on her lips, w'hile the narrows, Narrows harsh and rushing. Never heedful of the sorrow. Black against the sky the clouds hovered. The Great One stormed; As loud and gripping came a cry, The dying cry of the Indian maiden. Back fled the tribes in terror. Terror of the voice of the half-white maiden. Back they fled, fearful of the dead Nowanda. Many years have passed away; Long ago the tribes have perished. And now when the storm rages, Rages about the storming narrows. Still is heard the voice of the maiden. Crying, crying, for her lever— “Owawha”. (Note—This is a legend of the Illini Indians. The narrows are those near Peoria, Illinois.) James Wharton. 23 - THE CARDINAL— A- JUNIORS Back row—Wayne Norris, Ivel Collins. Nathan Brown. Claudie Collins, Hcrschel Shcnc-man.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1927, when we made our first appearance here, we were twenty-two in number and our heads were overflowing with ambitious hopes. Our Freshman officers were Nathan Brown, Helen Paxton, and Ulysses Shepherd. We chose the following for our class: colors, blue and gold; flower, the yellow-rose; and the motto, “Labor omnia vincit”. Miss Pritchett was chosen as our advisor. Our number dwindled to seventeen in our Sophomore year. The officers were Nelson Vaughan, Helen Paxton, and Erma Jeanne Wood. Miss Bell was chosen as our advisor. The beginning of this year found only fourteen of us, loyal to W. C. II. S. Our class held a meeting early in the year and the following officers were elected : Erma Jeanne Wood, president; Charlotte Hursh, vice-president; and Helen Paxton, secretary and treasurer. Miss Jones is our advisor. We have been well represented in athletics and other school activities throughout the three years, and hope to be more so in the year to come.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On the morning of September 3, 1928, forty-four boys and girls entered the doors of the W. C. H. S. They were rather meek and frightened, but soon they became accustomed to their surroundings and with the help of the Freshman-Sophomore party they began the year with a more confident feeling. The opening of the year 1929 was much different. The members of the class knew what they were to do and were eager to begin. With the help of Mr. Steninger, our advisor, the following officers were elected: president, Virginia Dickerson; vice-president, Merle Major; secretary, William Winters; treasurer, Frankie Janvrin. Throughout the year we were well represented in all school activities. Many of the boys went out for basketball, others joined the Glee Club, and several are on the Cardinal Staff. Since we have the largest class in school, at present, it is only proper that we should hope to develop some outstanding characters from it, in the years to come.

As usual, we were a quiet group of people, until we became acquainted with the other students. We held a class meeting early in the year and elected the following officers: president, Orville Sheneman; vice-president. Margaret Faith; secretary-treasurer, Ann Noel. After much debating, we chose Miss Bell to act as our class advisor, for we knew- that we would encounter many difficulties, where we would need lots of advice and plenty of assistance. We had a hard time deciding on class colors, hut, finally, green and white were chosen, with the lily of the valley as our class flower, and “Green, hut growing” for our class motto. On September 26, the Sophomores gave us a barnyard party and initiated us into the school affairs. Orville Sheneman. —THE CARDINAL' ACTIVITIES “Sometimes when going along a country lane, you may see a brilliant flash of red or hear a melodious burst of song. That will be the Cardinal, for he is as scarlet as his name implies, and his song is as distinctive as his coat is beautiful “He is a frolicsome creature, and seems to have never a care. How could the coming of Spring with all her beauty be complete without the gay, active little Cardinal?” -2 7 THE CARDINAL HISTRONIC SOCIETY Back row—William Botts, William Gillen, James Pent, Joseph Major, Claudic Collins, Bought) Binkley, Everett Brown, Marion ChefTer, Willard Buckley, Nelson Vaughan.

A few years ago, after the dividing of the school into two groups, to the lot of each side fell the naming of the society. The word Histronic, pertaining to drama, was selected. Much interest was taken, and we have succeeded in winning the silver cup for the last two years. Of course, it is our aim to do so again this year. Early in the fall of 1929, we met and chose our officers. They are as follows: President................................James Wharton Vice-president...........................Charlotte Hursh Secretary and Treasurer..................Kathryn Robbins Due to the interest of its members, the Histronic side has had a very successful group of programs. Drifting away from the monotony of variety programs, they have produced a few short plays, much to the approval of the student body and the faculty. Who will carry away this year’s cup remains to be seen, but we are sure that no little competition will be given for that honor. __ 8_ —'THE CARDINAL’ ORRATORIAN SOCIETY Back row—Herschel Shencman, Merle Major, Nathan Brown, William Winters, Robert Willard, Wayne Norris, Junior Eaton, Ivcl Collins, Gerald Jobe, Archie Janies.

First row—Louis Paxton, John Gamhrill, Obic Young, Harold Chumbley, Emery Janvrin, Robert Lawrence, Dean Beall. With our aim set at a high point, we began this year’s programs with enthusiasm. We used the best talent of our society and we are sure that our programs made a good impression. Our officers were all new, our members enthusiastic, and we decided to make an excellent showing. The main object of the societies is to create an interest along the line of literary and recreational work, and, as each society had only three programs this year, every one was made to count. We have won only one cup, out of the three years that these societies have been organized, but the opposing, society has won over us by only a small margin. Our motto for this year is, “Wc CAN and wc WILL9.

On Christmas evening the members went caroling about the village and were well received. The Club gave a vesper service at Christmas, which attracted much attention and well deserved the compliments that were given it. This group of students, about thirty-five in number, presented an operetta on the evenings of May 21 and 22. It was given two evenings in order to accommodate the crowds of people. The proceeds from this musical comedy will be given to the annual staff to help pay for the publication of the high school annual. -31 THE CARDINAL A- “W” CLUB Back row—Nelson Vaughan, Claudio Collins, Nathan Brown, Everett Brown, Joseph Major.

It proved to be the most successful play given this year. A great deal of credit for the success of it should go to Mildred Clemens, Senior Class advisor and director of the play.

Sir Hector is detained in New York by the board of health because they believed him to have the mumps. He had exploited the mummy of Queen O-zo-el-man-deb. Hector decides to impersonate the mummy and through the help of a porter, whom he bribes, he is shipped to Fenella. Meanwhile Brisky Briscoe, an old friend of Bill Laidlaw, comes to the town to visit with Bill, who is spending his summer vacation with his aunt, Agatha Laidlaw. Brisky, upon meeting Maude Mullen, a student of the school, decides to spend the summer with Bill and to impersonate Sir Hector Fish, because no young men are allowed in the school, unless they are there for teaching service. Dulcie Dumble, another student, is in love with Bill but Agatha Laidlaw refuses to let them speak to each other, for fear that it might ruin the reputation of her school. Through the jollyness and ignorance of Racker, the servant, they are able to make love. Anna Hampton, another student, opens the mummy box when it arrives and discovers Sir Hector Fish impersonating the mummy. Clever schemes fall thick and fast. Brisky tries to discover the thief who has been stealing Dulcie Dumble’s jewelry. Phoebe Beebe, a nosey reporter for the local paper, who always gets what she goes after, brings about the climax. She goes to the school to find out about the robberies. She meets Brisky, and he, in order to get rid of her, fakes a telephone call, and tells her that the newspaper office is on fire. The reporter, finding that it was a fake, returns with Perkins, a policeman. The house is soon surrounded by patrolmen. To gain freedom, Brisky and Sir Hector dress like Agatha Laidlaw and try to pass the guards. When Agatha Laidlaw enters upon the scene, the two culprits are rescued by their respective lovers, Maude Mullen and Anna Hampton. Finally everything is explained and all ends with the engagements of Maude and Brisky, Dulcie and Bill, and Anna and Hector. However, after this much has been settled, there remains a question in Packer’s mind, “Where is the mummy?” -33- THE CARDINAL CONTENTS UNKNOWN The Juniors demonstrated their dramatic ability in their class play, “Contents Unknown”, presented successfully on Thursday evening, November 20, 1929, in the high school gymnasium.

A certain string of pearls from the Romanoff jewels is known to have been sent to Rutherford by a special messenger. This messenger is Meredith Marshall, who has undertaken the dangerous mission in order to save her brother, who has appropriated a sum of money and has been discovered. Foreseeing that the sister may be of service, Rutherford has promised silence. Meredith, in desperation, has agreed to the proposition and is successful in transporting the jewels. Rutherford insinuates that he will require further tasks of her. In the meantime, Keith Winthrop, a customs official who has been instrumental in tracing the pearls and who is in search of the messenger, has been a companion of Meredith on the homeward journey and, not suspecting her mission, has fallen in love with her. On Meredith’s return Keith arrives in the city and follows her to Rutherford’s home, where an informal gathering is being held. In a survey of the treasures, two carved boxes identical in size and appearance are discovered. One contains an Oriental necklace; the other is locked. After the guests leave, Meredith delivers the pearls to Rutherford and he places them in the locked box. Rutherford, in return for the promise of concessions from a militaristic party which plans to crush the republican forces in China, advances $25,000 to aid the cause. This money he takes from Kenneth Gordon, an importer, with whom he has close business relations; and the transaction becomes known to Wu Fong, Rutherford’s Chinese servant who, in reality, is a trusted agent of the republican party in China. Along with the pearls has come a letter telling of the proposed attack. When Wu Fong, throwing off his assumed role of servant, demands this letter, Rutherford refuses and draws a revolver. In self-defense Wu Fong stabs him, and subsequently telephones headquarters. Kenneth Gordon, at Keith’s request, has kept close watch upon Rutherford. He entrusts to Judith Shelby the box, asking her to return it. Judith, accompanied by Ted, Kenneth’s young brother, discovers the murder, and is l eing —THE CARDINAL questioned by an irate detective. The discovery of Meredith’s handkerchief in Rutherford’s hand complicates matters. The mystery is finally solved by a message from headquarters declaring that Wu Fong has surrendered. Who has the pearls? Sally Stanton, to whom Rutherford has given the privilege of wearing the Oriental necklace and of taking the box whenever she happens to be passing, appears with the locked box, which has fallen her lot. SAILOR MAIDS The Glee Club, due to their untiring efforts, successfully presented their operetta on the nights of May 21 and 22, 1930. Credit for the success of this musical comedy should go to Miss Glea Bell, the leader and director. The operetta was presented for the benefit of the high school annual.

SYNOPSIS Frances Marie, daughter of Cyrus Templeton, the lighthouse keeper, and captain of a yachting crew of Sailor Maids, is celebrating ber eighteenth birthday and the launching of her new yacht. Edward Dover, an old friend and playmate sweetheart whom she has not seen for eight years, is to pilot the new yacht on its first voyage across the bay. Edward knows nothing about yachting and detests the ocean. When he arrives he is mistaken for a caterer whom they have employed to serve at a dinner party in the evening. Because of his interest in Jeanette, a friend of Frances Marie, and his horror for the water, he does not reveal his true identity. Edward is aided in his plot of deception by David Kern, a yachtsman who comes with a message from the caterer. David in turn is mistaken for Edward by Frances Marie, and before he can explain, the real Edward prevails on him to assume his name and sail the yacht. David refuses but is drawn into the scheme by Edward's clever planning and held there by his interest in Frances Marie. The climax comes when David learns Frances Marie’s engagement to Edward Dover is soon to be announced. The true identity of both is revealed, and Frances Marie and her friends are shocked at the discovery. After much explaining the young men clear themselves and win the girls with fathers’ blessings. 35- THE CARDINAL A ALUMNI As the Cardinal goes to press, no announcement of the activities of this organization has been given.

Senior Class JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The annual Junior-Senior Banquet was given at the high school Friday evening, May 9, 1930. The guests were greeted by Junior ushers, who led them to the reception room. When all the guests had assembled, they repaired to the gymnasium, which was beautifully decorated, the Maypole idea being carried out. A delicious course dinner was served by Sophomore waitresses and waiters. Ivel Collins performed his duties as toastmaster in a most pleasing manner. During the dinner toasts were given by Erma Jeanne Wood, Madge Littrell, Nathan Brown, James Wharton, Wayne Norris, and Prin. Raymond Steninger. INDOOR CARNIVAL Realizing the insufficiency of funds to carry on the work of the annual until the subscriptions were paid for, a carnival was decided on to help this cause. The entire school gratefully assisted and helped to make it the success that it was. A small, but appreciative crowd attended and were well pleased with the efforts that were made to entertain them. A larger crowd might have been witnessed, if it had not been Friday the 13th, 1929. -38- THE CARDINAL ATHLETICS “Then the Cardinal knew that the north wind had carried a true message, for the king and his followers were ahead of him on their way to the Limberlost. Mile after mile, a thing of pulsing fire, he breasted the blue-black night, and it was not so very long until he could discern a flickering patch of darkness sweeping the sky before him. The Cardinal flew steadily in a straight sweep, until with a throb of triumph in his heart, he arose in his course, and from far overhead, flung down a boastful challenge to the king and his followers, as he sailed above them and was lost from sight. 39- THE CARDINAL = BASKETBALL Back row—Raymond Steninger (principal), Archie James, Claudic Collins, Hcrschcl Shctie-man, George Harper (coach), Willard Buckley, Junior Eaton, Joseph Major. Seated—Nelson Vaughan, Everett Brown, Nathan Brown (captain), William Winters, Merle Major. Not in picture—William Gillen, Marion Cheffcr. The old fighting flame of Warrensburg burst forth this year when Coach Harper sent in the basketball alarm. Approximately thirty basket firemen answered his call, but after two weeks of practice the squad was cut to fifteen. Coach Harper taught the firemen the fundamentals of the game. The boys responded wonderfully and took much interest in this sport. Soon scrimmages were held until the boys began burning up the baskets and the floor with their shooting and teamwork. The great campaign was started November 15 with Niantic, the team that defeated us in the first game of the Decatur District Tournament last year. This year the tables were turned and Warrensburg won over them by a 22-14 count. All the games thereafter were met with the old fight and flashy speed, made famous by Warrensburg firemen. The season was a success from the financial standpoint. Our fire-fighters brought home the third place trophy this year from the Macon County Tournament. This is the third consecutive year that Warrensburg has taken third place in this tournament. With nearly all of this year’s material back for next year, prospects for a winning team are good. 40.

Cause those rooters in yond hillside to root and burst forth into the most enthusiastic enthusiasm that has ever been known to thrive from any rooters in yonder hillside. “And now, brethren, in preparation for that great roof raising for which ye have so generously volunteered your unlimited services, I say unto thee, take heed of the following and obey thy master. “And now. Nelson, my boy! My diminutive forward, my tosser of baskets, what can 1 say unto thee that will cause thee to attain the desired warmth that I hope thou will have tonite? Oh ! Nelson, I am asking too much to even suggest that thou get so warm as I would want thee. But I will ask that thou romp on the hardwood garden so fast that the smell of the burning rubber from thy shoes shall permeate the atmosphere and nauseate yon rooters who sit upon the wooden hillside. Shoot that pill through the ring so fast that the hoop will become white hot and the net shall take fire and burn, and the bankboard shall wither and even the scoreboard shall smoke. This, Nelson, is all I ask of thee. “And now. Winters, thou eldest son of thy father, I beseech thee not to disappoint the old gent tonite. Thou knowest that thou hath wanted a razor ever since that date with that ‘auburn haired’ yell leader from Niantic. If you play the ball tonite that will gladden the eyes of thy father, who sitteth on high, on the wooden hillside, thy razor shall be forthcoming before another sunrise shall greet thine eyes. “And unto thee, Nathan, thou captain of fighters, when we get a big lead and start to stall I beg thee to freeze all the while to that ball. Get down in a corner and stumble and fall; cause that white robber (referee) a held ball to call. “THAT’S ALL— And unto thee. Merle, cousin of fighters, thou son of a basketballing father, thou guard of the old school, I charge thee to cover that pill so tightly that the other team will take on the appearance of a robbed calf at round-up time. I would that the grey-haired fans of this town, when they hold their hot stove session after the battle is over tonite, weep tears of the joy the size of croquet balls, at the showing thou wilt have made tonite. Cause those old timers, who say there never will be another Charles Hall, to say that you are a percolator of basketeers. And thou, Everett, thou brother of fighters, thou ace of guards, thou bas-keteer of all ‘basketl allers’ that I have ever ‘basketballed’, I beseech thee to play natural. 1 expect much heat from thee, and for that reason beg thee to don this suit of asbestos. Cause those opponent’s defense to melt like celluloid before thee, and forget not to change baskets at the half.’’ Shoot as of yore, Oh! May thy speed burn up the floor! Lead this team back through the door! County champs, as never before. Ivel Collins. -4 2 - =THE CARDINAL TRACK Back row—Raymond Steninger (principal), George Harper (coach), Joseph Major. Seated—Nelson Vaughan, F.vcrctt Brown, Nathan Brown, Claudie Collins (captain). It was planned to make this year’s track a more complete and separate organization than ever before. There are several meets in which W. C. H. S. is planning to participate. A great deal more interest is being given this outdoor sport this year, and it is hoped that it will progress more than it has in the past. Probably the reason for the increase in interest taken in this sport is due to the fact that it is being realized how important this culture and training is to the physical body. TRACK SCHEDULE Macon County Literary, Track and Eield Meet, April 30. May 1 and 2. Millikin Relay Carnival, April 19. - 43 THE CARDINAL CLASS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT In the first game of the preliminaries Tuesday evening, October 23, the Freshmen met their “Waterloo” in the battle with the Sophomores by a score of 36-2. In the second game of the tournament the Seniors were forced to admit their defeat by the Juniors in a close score of 12-8. In the first game of the finals, the Seniors won a decisive victory of 22-4 over the Freshmen, giving the former third place. E. Brown led the scoring for the Seniors with six field goals and three free throws. Gillen registered two field goals. By virtue of their 9-7 victory over the fast Sophomore quintet, the Junior team was awarded the championship in the final game of the inter-class tournament of W. C. II. S. in the gymnasium, Wednesday evening, October 24. At the half the Juniors had a 4-1 lead over the Sophomores, C. Collins, forward, and N. Brown, center, each scoring a field goal for the Juniors, and W. Winters a free throw for the Sophs, but the Sophs came back strong in the last quarters, L. Simpson sinking two field goals and E. Simpson, one; while the Juniors scored one field goal, made by N. Vaughan, and three free throws. The game ended with a 9-7 victory for the Juniors. N. Brown was high scorer with one field goal and three free throws. OUR TENNIS COURT Our new double tennis court is located at the southeast corner of the campus. It was matle by the pupils who wished to enjoy it. The court was made with hoes and rakes last September and used some at that time. It was re-made in March by the boys under the supervision of Mr. Harper and Mr. Steninger. The dirt was scraped off and the surface made smooth. The court is seventy feet by sixty feet, with backstops of wire netting and new tennis nets attached to steel poles set in concrete. During the second week in May, interest was aroused by an inter-class tennis tournament in which some very good sets were played. -44- =—THE CARDINAL FEATURES “O bird of wonderful plumage and liuman-like song! 11'hat a precious thought of Divinity to create such beauty and music for our pleasure!

Falling here, whirling there, They just seem to fill the air, And they fall most everywhere, Falling down. On the bushes and the trees, Rending down, In the garden and the streets, Over town, Drifting high at every wall, They don’t seem to mind at all, As they softly, swiftly fall On our town. T ™ Lola Belle Spitzkr. CHRISTMAS AT OUR HOUSE Dinner is prepared, what do we await? There’s a vacant chair! Why the extra plate? He’ll be there anon. There is an expectancy in everyone here; We feel his spirit very near, But still He cloesn’t come. He must. He will! The day has darkened into night, The sorrowful ones still fight Tears of loneliness. The silence is intense, profound. Rut listen! A voice? A sound! Just the wind. With more dreariness to lend ! Erma Jeanne Wood. BE YOURSELF When the day is bright and cheery, And the snow birds flit about; Don’t show that you’re a grouch and have the gout. Rut inhale the beauty of the day and put it out. William Gillen. IF If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for the doubting, too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting. Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies. Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise; S3 - THE CARDINAL A If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken. And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the will which says to them, “Hold on!” If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue. Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much ; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run. Yours is the earth and everything that’s in it, And which is more, you’ll lie a MAN, my son!” IF If you can dress to make yourself attractive, Yet not make puffs and curls your chief delight; If you can swim and row, be strong and active, Rut of gentler graces lose not sight; If you can dance without a craze for dancing. Play without giving play too strong a hold, Enjoy the love of friends without romancing. Care for the weak, the friendless, and the old; If you can master French and Greek and Latin, And not acquire as well a priggish mien, If you can feel the touch of silks and satins Without despising calico and jean; If you can ply a saw and use a hammer, Can do a man’s work when the need occurs. Can sing when asked without excuse or stammer, Can rise above unfriendly snubs and slurs. If you can make good bread as well as fudges, Can sew with skill and have an eye for dust; If you can be a friend and hold no grudges, A girl whom all will love because they must; If sometimes you should meet and love another. And make a home with faith and love enshrined, And you its soul—a loyal wife and mother, You’ll work out pretty nearly, to my mind, The plan that’s been developed through the ages, And win the best that life can hold in store, You’ll be, my girl, a model for the sages, A woman, whom the world would bow before. Elizabeth Lincoln Otis. -54- Kipling. THE CARDINAL “Dainty green warblers nest in ils tree-lops, and red-eyed rireos choose a location beloie. It is the home of bell-birds, finches, and thrushes. There are flocks of blackbirds, grackles, and crows. Jays and catbirds quarrel constantly, and marsh-wrens keep up never-ending chatter. Orioles swing their pendent purses from the branches, and with the onagers picnic on mulberries and insects. In the evening, night-hawks dart on silent icing; whippoorwills set up a plaintive cry that they continue far into the night; and owls revel in moonlight and rich hunting. i -55 - A 'THE CARDINAL- 1 :: TO OOR ADVERTISERS We, the staff of the 1930 Cardinal, wish to voice a hearty “thank you” to the business men for the financial aid afforded us, which has made possible the publication of this Annual.
