GREETINGS FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION By DR. CARROLL B. BACON, President Through the courtesy of the Board of Editors of the Skoi-Yase it has become my privilege to extend the greetings and good wishes of the Board of Education to the Faculty, Students and Alumni of the Waterloo High School. For the first time the Board of Education has a place in the Senior Annual. This will be a fortunate innovation if it helps to bring the Board of Education and the Student Bo-ily into a closer relationship and promotes a better understanding between them. Very few realize the amount of work done by the Members of the Board of Education-the hours and days devoted to the solving of the various problems of school administration. Our conclusions are not always correct. But so long as we act in accord with our best judgment we trust that time will prove that we are more often right than wrong. This work is without any compensation except the satisfaction to be derived from a duty well done. The only tangible rewards are an occasional slight Commendation and very frequent adverse criticisms. But praise or blame is of little moment to a school trustee if he is the kind of trustee that a school needs. Yet the question naturally arises: Why be a school trustee? The answer is: Be- cause we realize that you are the principle asset of the State and of the Na- tion. Upon you and your contemporaries depends the future of the world's greatest experiment in Democracy, the United States of America. The re- sponsibility is yours and yours alone. But if we can help you to meet it, that will be reward enough. Remember we have your interests at heart. Anything we can do to smooth your pathway or aid your progress will be gladly done. We believe that nothing will assist you so much as the years you spend in school. And this is why we are striving to make the school all it should be. That is ouripart. Your part is to remember that no school is better or worse than its Faculty and Students. This is why we ask you to adopt .high standards and live up to them. We are interested in the school and in you. We watch with pride your record in scholarship. VVe are interested in your athletics and all your activities. Your success is our success. Your triumphs are our triumphs. Your failures are ours-to re- gret. May they be few. v 4g.,,l 2 I 6 K A, - Opportunity JNO. J. INGALLS Master of human destines am I! Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait Cities and iields I walk: I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late I knock unbidden once at every gate! If sleeping wake: if feasting rise before I turn away. It is the hour of fate And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save death: but those who doubt or hesitate Condemned to failure, penury and woe Seek me in vain and uselessly implore. I answer not, and I return no more! lx I O - I ,A Y Al CF .-. P. -N -N I - N. -N. Q -L' ,ft -X F 'FN- Ns -3. X C Z1 SENIOR ANNUAL, 1927 THE FACULTY MR. C11ARLEs E. FOLEY, ll. S., M.

In order to avoid, as much as possible, absence from school on the part of students on account of business connected with the editing of a book, a large part of the work has been done through the school office by the Principal and his secretary, Miss Staley. Each member of the Class has done their bit, as they were called upon, to make. the book a success. Special credit is due to Anna Carroll for her work in the literary department, and to Donald Boak and Stuart Calder for their work as business managers. Mr. Miller, head of the English Department, has been of great value as a critic and as a contributor. The Skoi-Yase is not a money making proposition and must of course receive considerable aid from advertisers. In order to be more fair with the local merchants, who do support school activities, no advertising has been solicited outside of Waterloo except in the case of schools and lines of business that are not represented locally. Each advertiser is to receive a copy of the book and it is hoped that a closer spirit of co-operation will dc- velop both on the part of the advertisers and of the purchasers of the Skoi- Yase.

SEVENTEEN Seventeen, by Booth Tarkington, was presented by the Senior Class this year in the Assembly Hall, February II and 12. lt is a story of youth at the age of seventeen. The home life of the Baxter family was very well portrayed by Margaret Theobald as Mrs. Baxter, Harold Birch as Mr. Baxter, Donald Boak as VVilliam Baxter and Margaret Moran as little jane Baxter who is always eating bread and butter, applesauee and' sugar. NVil- liam, much to the disapproval of his mother, persists in saying, Ye Gods, every time he is spoken to. His only interest was literature until May Parcher fMargaret McQuayj, a neighboring girl, has a visitor. The visitor, Lola Pratt, the baby-talk lady, wins all the boys' hearts. May l'archer's father, M1'.' Parcher, fHarold Hoyj is always ignored, nobody pays any attention to him. Charles Harris showed .his talents as a comedian in the Genesis, the negro boy. May llarcher gives a farewell party for Lola, who is sorry to leave the boys. Joe Bullet flrving Pullmanj, Johnny Watson CStuart Calderj, NVallie Banksfjothn Pricej, George Crouper, the rich man's son from junius, fjohn Gilmorej, Mary Brooks fMildred Marshj, Ethel Boke flidith Vainej, who is a visiting girl, but a poor dancer, attend the party. Lola is unable to give William the last dance, because he arrived late, due to the fact that it was necessary for him to secure a dress suit in which to appear that night. Lola leaves for the train, while Ethel Boke leads William off for the last dance. VVilliam is sad and brokenhearted. Life at seventeen is hard.

VVe, therefore, se- lected our officers with this thought in mind. james Tuomey was elected president, lrma Seeber, vice-presidentg Louise Durkin, secretary, Franklin llaker, treasurer. We also elected Mr. Thomas Class Advisor. Every year at Hallowe'en each class prepares a stunt which is presented either in the gym or in the Assembly Hall. That year it was presented in the Assembly Hall, and we considered the Frosh stunt excellent. The summer vacation passed quickly, and we again were back in school. This time as Sophomores. The class was somewhat smaller, but the ma- jority had come back. Miss Post was chosen class advisor, Franklin Baker, presidentg Leatha Sweet, vice-president, Barbara Becker, secretary, and Francis McDonald, treasurer. About this time we had a class meeting to decide what colors we wanted for our banner. Royal purple and white were selected. The banner may be seen in its honored position in the Study Hall. There were no other social activities for the Sophomore Class until May, when we gave a play, which was a great success, iinancially and other- wise. This was due to the excellent direction of Mrs. Ryan and the help of Miss Post. Soon after this came the Sophomore Hop, which was one of the prettiest affairs of the season. At the end of the school year the Sophomore Class held a picnic at Owasco Lake Park. As September came around again, we began our third year in High School. Now we are Juniors. The class advisors elected were: Mr. Ryan and Miss Post. john Berry was elected president, Barbara Becker, vice- president: Franklin Baker, treasurer, and Helen Talbert, secreta1'y. Next year will be our last year in High School. We will graduate then and make our way into the world, but l' think that none of us will ever for- get the days they spent in High School.

The meeting was then adjourned by Samuel Post, president. October 25, 1926. Meeting was called to order by President Post for the Tattler Stunt. There were suggestions for mock trials, and mock weddings, but we finally decided upon a minstrel. We then adjourned. Orlobvr 26, 1926, Mr. Miller called the meeting to order and appointed the parts for the minstrel. VVe practiced all that day and the 27th, 28th and 29th. We put it on in the Gym. It proved a success. Nmmmbcr 3, 1926. Frank Foley, the new president, called a meeting to order to decide about .a weiner roast. The appointed day was Friday, November 5th, but because of unfavorable weather the roast was not held. December 23, 1926.

A meeting was held to arrange a sleigh load. We decided to go to Ge- neva to the show. Everyone who wished to go to be at the school at 6:30 with 25c as fare. The sleigh load was a successg but we went to Seneca Falls, as it was too cold to go to Geneva. ' 27 fd :N 'R '4 ?

We realized that no class is prosperous unless it has been organized and officers chosen, so we held our first meeting in September for this purpose. The following officers were elected: President, Clarence Scottg vice-presi- dent, Dritha Duifyg secretary, Dorothy Litzenbergerg treasurer, john Buck- nar. Mr. Cook was chosen to be our class advisor. VVe held our second meeting the first of October. lt was decided to have our class banner purchased. A committee was chosen to carry out this plan. Blue and silver were the colors selected. The Class of '30 was well represented in the Hallowe'en Stunt party. The girls' basketball team claimed two of our membersg Adelaide and Cassandra Waterman. james Morrin represented our class in foot ball. Francis Bordner was chosen for the basketball team. As our Freshman year draws to a close we hope that the future may be as bright and prosperous as this past year has been. D1u'rHA DUFFY, '3o. 29 lx An CN , - Al 2' Q E xJ S, X.

First prize for the girls was won by Irma Seeber and second by Barbara Becker. First prize for the boys by Charles Harris and second by Harold Hoy. Contestants are chosen by the two classes and from these students the Faculty select the eight who in their judgment will do the best in this kind of competition. Each class has two girls and two boys who enter the contest and there is a first prize of 351000, and a second prize of 355.00 for the girls and the same for the boys. The money for these prizes is appropriated each year by the Board of Edu- cation, but is usually more than repaid by the receipts from the contest. The speakers this year and their selections were as follows: His Soul Goes Marching Un - - Margaret Theobald XfVhat the Fiddle Told - - 4--- - - ,Edith Paine Cato's Speech to the Conscript Fathers - - Harold Hoy An1ericanization - ------ - Charles Harris An American Citizen - - Barbara Becker The Selhsh Gianti' ---- - Irma Seeber The Black Horse and His Rider - - Max Reigle Lincoln and the Constitution - - Philip Larish SI VVAT ERLOO HIGH SCHOOL Auto raphs 32 SENIOR ANNUAL, 1922 TAKING THE HURDLES By R. B. MILLER English Dcpartmcnt X-Vhat does commencement mean to the average graduate? Popular artists have symbolized that meaning for the magazines. One shows a youth in cap and gown, his right hand holding a diploma to his breast, his left hand resting upon the globe, his nose in the ai1', his eyes looking down on all creation. Another exhibits a sweet young graduate up in the clouds, sitting on top of the world. Thousands have doubtless smiled at the hu- morous truthfulness of those pictuzes. VVho hasn't felt much the same at leaving school-predestined to conquest and empire? A third design has another meaning: commencement is at the bottom of a ladder, with one foot on the iirst round. In a larger sense of the word commencement is a new start at any time of life. Human nature is fond of imagining itself at the threshhold of a bright future. Correspondence schools and publishers of books on etiquette, will power, language mastery, physical culture, and such-like royal roads to knowledge, are getting rich by playing on this weakness. A dirty young- ster in overalls is depicted staring at the vacant chair of the industrial cap- tain for whom he is grubbing at starvation wages. All that keeps him from passing that enchanted doorway is the lack of a course listed in the attached coupon. Could the advertiser of ways to wealth and prominence more fa- vorably attract the attention of a new generation to his wares? Picture-language tells us, then, that commencement has different mean- ings to different individuals. Some graduates go into the life which is just commencing for them with over-optimistic reliance on their ability to pick and choose their callings and land at the top by a magical exertion of their educated minds, others realize their deficiencies and humbly resolve to make good as most of the world's successful men and women have done before and will do in the future--by honestly earning each promotion from the very beginning and all the way up. The comparative importance of those mean- ings Qattitudes toward the race of life about to be entered-one's meanings and attitudes amount to the same thingy may be seen in the careers of two of our country's most notable men. The attitude of one was that he de- served riches and honors at the hands of his compatriots, but if America did not lavish them to suit him, her enemies would. That man was Benedict Arnoldg he died unwept, unhonored, and unsung. The attitude of the other was that he would study and prepare himself, and some day his chance 33 WATERLOO HIGH SCHOOL might come. That man was Abraham Lincoln, he died a man for the ages. Arnold pictured himself with a good share of the world under his thumb, Lincoln saw himself at the foot of the ladder, getting ready to climb. There we have meanings and attitudes carried through to the limits. A page or two farther on something will be said about a hurdle race in which young men from all over the country take part. Some of those con- testants are from our own school 5 some are strangers from' other commun- ities. We may understand the significance of that race better as a figure of speech if we look for the moral in the lives of the competitors as they go through school in preparation for the event. Every story may be taken as a sample of life which we live in imagination. Often we may profit bv reading about the real or fictitious doings of other people just as well as if we actually participated ourselves. By following a typical boy through his course from the first day of school we get a new view of its importance. On the opening day of the primary grade he graduates from the existence of an irresponsible idler. Lessons, duties, and responsibilities begin, punishments in the form of re- proof, poor marks, detention, physica.l pain, forfeiture of privileges, and even compulsory repetition of a whole year's work, result from failure to perform those childish tasks now required of him. School may mean the first disillusionment of his life, his first ezcperience with the discipline which is to pursue him the rest of his days. At school he is no longer the sole object of maternal love and self-denial 3 he is one of many in similar circum- stances, he has entered a world of competition, in which his own efforts and abilities determine his rise or fall. He is judged by new standards. Wliat passed for exceptional cleverness worthy of approval at home, may be ig- nored or frowned upon at school. Perhaps many other young first-graders are smarter than he, or better behaved, and to his chagrin he finds himself either struggling for recognition on his merits or subsiding into the ranks of the average or inferior. Each new year, each new teacher, puts him to addi- tional tests. His manner of meeting them, succeeding or failing, grows into a habit that will count for much hereafter. Graduation from elementary or grammar school is the first formal com- mencement, signalized by the awarding of a certificate or diploma. For some unfortunates this is the only and Final record of scholaristic achieve- ment. In our typical case, though, it merely marks the transition to high school and suddenly increased responsibilities and privileges. In this en- vironment he encounters new classmates, new teachers, new methods. There are strange subjects to study, there are novel inducements to distract his attention. Vacation periods afford a chance to waste time in the study 34 W 5liN IOR ANNUAL, 1927 hall. Freshman class activities, athletics, and a variety of unfamiliar at- tractions may lead to neglect of work, consequent dislike of study, and fail- ure. The right to vote and hold office, to attend meetings conducted in par- liamentary order, to voice an opinion that may influence the minds of his fellow citizens -this is democracy in operation. He takes on importance in his own estimation, an importance that increases with the years. He makes an athletic team, sings in the glee club, plays in the orchestra, speaks in the auditorium, and looks down patronizingly at the members of the classes below. ln turn he becomes a Sophomore, a junior, a Senior. He learns to talk familiarly with the teachers, comments knowingly on the reasons for his Uflunking Regents, wears collegiate clothing, and perhaps smokes a pipe or cigarette in public. Quite a man! He even takes his girl to parties, shows, and dances. VVho knows? Maybe he makes love to her! Yes, indeed, quite a man! Read about him in the Senior Annual at com- mencement this yearg his prizes a11d distinctions, his athletic W, his class and committee offices, his appearance in print as an author and a poet ffm' the school publicationsj, his all-'round accomplishments are bound to im- press you. And now we have come to the hurdles. They are so important that they have a place in our title. Call them synibolical, if you wish, like the cover on the magazine. lmagine yourself in the stadium of a Central New York university. Archbold Stadium will do, or the Cornell Crescent, if you are acquainted with that. School colors are a-flutter. These are the lnter- scholastics. Representatives from all over the country are .here. The Wa-- terloo W appears, and both 011 the field and in the stands you see many familiar faces. fThere may be a moral in thislj The race is about to commence. Lined up at the starting point, the athletes are digging spiked shoes into the track and getting set for the report of the pistol. A hundred and twenty yards down the straight-away is stretched the tape, dimly seen, if 11ot invisible, from here. Between stand a number of fence-like barriers, the hurdles, which each contestant must go over, not around, as quickly and cleanly as possible. All about the field ex- tend tiers of seats packed with the spectators, fathers, mothers, dear ones, friends, and others, looking on with a great variety of emotion, ranging from tolerant indifference to the fiercest intensity of interest. The starter barks a command, the competitors crouch in readiness, the timers hold the stop-watches, the people in the stands look for the Hash from the lifted gun. Crack! There they go! From the very start a few spring into the lead, a majority are practi- 35 VVATERLOO HIGH SCHOOL cally abreast, some strive vainly to overtake them, and one or two, having stumbled and fallen at the first jump, are already out of it. Now the hurdle. Watch the leaders, well-trained, effortless, machine- like, gliding over the barrier and speeding for the next one. Look! Too badg the young fellow who seemed to have such a good chance to win has upset his hurdle and disqualified. Positions change rapidly. Some of the foremost fall behindg some of the others stride ahead, the stragglers trail along farther and farther, until several yards separate them from those who will fight for first place. The second hurdles are passed. The result of training and experience begin to show. Over the level track an extra burst of speed, an added out- put of strength, means an advantage between hurdlesg over the hurdles a superiority in taking the leap and resuming full speed will tell at the finish. It takes but a few seconds to run this raceg it is hardly started before it is all over. As the rivals are throwing every ounce of energy into the des- perate spurt for the tape, let us glance for an instant at the mass of human- ity in the stands. Our moral may grow more apparent. Seated in the choicest reserved section opposite the center of the field, among the best dressed and proudest families, a middle-aged couple are watching their boy, now and then casting anxious looks from him to his adversaries in the fore. How different they must have looked and felt a brief moment ago! Now the father compresses his lips nervously and wid- ens his eyes in bewildermentg the mother clutches his arm and stares woe- fully, deaf to the applause which is meant for a boy other than hers. Beaten! I-lopelessly outclassed! Their son! About them are other couples of their station in life. Some cast them a hasty glance of sympathy, then turn their gaze to the track and forget them. Some nudge each other and bob their heads toward them with l-told-you-so triumph. The rest know nothing about their tragedy and care less. See who is taking the last hurdle. The stalwart young fellow is a good yard ahead of his nearest opponent. Oh, yes, we know him. NVhere are his parents? We needn't look for them in the high-priced reserved section. There they are, too far from the finish line to see very distinctly, but near enough to know what is what. They have put on their Sunday best, yet that is nothing extra, for they have had to scrape and pinch in order to put their youngster through school and give him advantages in life they never enjoyed themselves. The man's face is beaming with happiness through the harsh angles and wrinkles that long years of toil and worry have pro- duced. His wife's features likewise bear the marks of sacrifice, but her work-dimmed eyes glow and her heart beats faster. This little victory of 36 SENIOR ANNUAL, 1927 their son's is more significant to them than it would be to folks whose chil- dren are accustomed to fine things which he would never dreamof having. He has worked hard for this event, just as he has worked for everything else he has set his mind to. He deserves his medal, and they deserve their contentment. tAre we looking yet for the lesson?j A roar of applause marks the finish. The young fellow who breaks the tape is followed across the last white mark by two or three others in quick succession, each bound to win at least a second or third place. To the rest it doesn't matter much, but most of them run their race to the end, as a matter of formality or for the slight satisfaction of determining relative merits in a lost cause. The tailenders do not bother to go through with it. llefore the last runner is off the track the hurdles are being removed and the announcer is calling out the results of this race and proclaiming the next. Like our picture of the graduate sitting on top of the world or taking the first step on the ladder, this allegory of the hurdles can be interpreted better in terms of actual experience after you have had such experience. The first time you read the story of Gareth and Lynette in The Idylls of the King you probably saw nothing in it but what appeared on the surface. A number of years later you may go back to it and appreciate how Tennyson really put into it the whole history of a young man's progress through life. You can see the conflict between his own wishes and those of others who have his well-being at heart but would subordinate his manly qualities in order to shield him from the trials of manhood. You can recognize his need of enduring insults and misunderstandings when resenting them would turn him aside from his mission. You can admire the perseverance of the youth who comes back after each rebuff of fortune with this challenge to disagree- able duty, Lead, and I follow. Such are the hurdles the graduate will face at commencement, for then he is merely awaiting the signal that is to send him on toward the goal which perhaps he cannot yet see in the distance, the goal which he may never reach in the scramble of competition. One day the entrant in this race is a Senior, the next he is again a Freshman. He started in his first year of elementary school with vague but optimistic dreams. They soon faded into the commonplace of hard work and discipline. The fascinations of High School similarly revealed behind them. a complement of dull realities. So it will always be. The West Point- er joins his regiment as a subaltern who knows less of real garrison service than the lowest private in the ranks. The college graduate enters the em- ploy of a great industrial concern to become an insignificant cog in a wheel which would scarcely miss him if he dropped out. Even the President of 37 VVATERLOO HIGH SCHOOL the United States has many things to learn when .he accepts the highest office this country can bestow. Everywhere we see the track being cleared for the next event before the last contestants have left the field. But the obstacles remain somewhere at hand. The young knight of the ldyll furnishes a good example for the young man of today. Too many of our modern youths grow faint-hearted at the discouragements of their struggle. VVith more Gareths in the world there would be fewer suicides among our intellectual students at college, fewer stumbling and falling at the first jump from the 'fstarting line of commence- ment. VVe want those of the Laid, and I follow sort. Now is the time for taking out insurance against failure. An inventory of assets and liabilities is important: Have I spent my time profitably while in school? ln what subjects did I take most interest? Can I be trusted to go ahead with a job and work at it faithfully without being driven? Do my tastes and abilities run to clerking, salesmanship, science, literature, art, law, medicine, engineering, pedagogy, agriculture, mechanics, manual labor, or nothing in particular? What sort of people do I like to associate with? What do l want to be doing five, ten, or twenty years from now? Straight- forward answers to these and a dozen similar questions that readily suggest themselves may mean the difference between a life of useful accomplish- ment and one of hopeless regret. There are high hurdles and low. In some cases it is a fine thing to aim high, but talents differ. A mountain may car- rv forests on its back, as the poet says, but it can't crack a nut. You have often heard the remark made about a man not especially fitted for his pro- fession, As a surgeon he'd make a good tailor, As a singer he'd make a good tinsmith, As a lawyer he'd make a good bricklayerf' If it is ad- visable to begin at the foot of the ladder, it is equally advisable to choose the right ladder, the one which is not too steep for the prospective climber, and each rung of which is a goal worth reaching. - ABRAHAM LINCOLN One finds it hard to write about Lincoln, without drifting into senti- mental idealismi. For we are apt to overlook any fault or blemish in those we love most. However, one should try to picture Lincoln as he really was, .ind not overlook his fault. Abraham Lincoln was born in a wretched hovel in the backwoods of Kentucky. His father was a shiftless, improvident and aimless settler, who moved from place to place, and never seemed satisfied to settle down. This 33 SENIOR ANNUAL, 1927 probably accounts for the squalid condition of the home. His mother, a hardworking and disappointed woman, died while Abe was still young. Af- ter her death his father moved to Indiana where he again married. The new lady of the house was energetic, and ambitious for the welfare of the chil- dren. She taught young Abe reading, writing, and elementary arithmetic. His schooling consisted of a few weeks attendance at a little log school- house, during the winter months. As a young boy Lincoln had to work hard, and this was what made him grow up to be such a strong man, both in character and body. He ex- celled in all manly sports, and was a leader in his community. People mar- velled at his powers of thinking, and many of his compositions were pub- lished in the country news. It is said of Lincoln that .he never used his great strength to .hurt or torture anything or anyone. He would often go out of his way to relieve some suffering animal. After leaving home he took whatever work he could obtain. He worked as a llatboat hand and we are told that on one of these trips down the Miss- issippi he witnessed the sale of a slave, which gave him a decided opinion on slavery. For several years he lived in New Salem, Illinois, where he clerked in a store and worked in a mill. When the Black Hawk War broke out, he was elected captain of a volunteer company and distinguished himself not in the number of Indians he killed, but in saving the life of one old chief who strayed into his camp, from the malice of his companions. He then turned to politics, but as his popularity was not widespread, he was defeated. Next he set up business with a dissolute partner who drank whiskey, while Lincoln studied. The business was a failure, however, and he was then adrift again for a time. He was made postmaster, but this only partially defrayed his living expenses. At this period he began studying law, reading whatever books he could borrow. He gained experience by pleading petty cases, expecting no fee. He also became a circuit judge and gained much experience in that way. His popularity grew, and he was chosen as candidate for the state legis- lature. He was elected and thrice re-elected. Later he was a candidate for the senatorship of Illinois and was successful in his campaign. His career was not very brilliant, however, and he was little known in the East. As a lawyer he wasn't very successful, as he was influenced too much by his personal feelings and emotions. Hut when his sympathy was aroused he could plead t.he case so eloquently as to astonish and delight his listeners. In the meantime he had some troubles of a private nature. He loved and was loved by Ann Rutlidge, a most attractive and estimable girl. Her sudden death caused him such anguish that he said he was afraid to carry 39 '..,r 4' WATIQRLOU HlGH SCHOUL a pocket-knife for. fear of committing suicide. After recovering from this sorrow, he started paying his attentions to Mary Owens, but was refused. Next he met and proposed to Mary Todd, and was accepted. lt seems he was not sure of his love for her and committed an unpardonable breach of etiquette by absenting himself on their wedding day. Later they made up and were happily married. But everybody understood that his only real love had been Ann Rutlidge. The progress i11 his career from then on was not very astonishing, so I will pass over it and take up his presidential campaign. In 1858 he became a candidate for the senatorship again. His opponent was Stephen Douglas. The Little Giant. Their debates and speeches became of intense interest all over the country and the name Honest Abe was on the lips of many. Although he lost the senatorship he did gain the candidacy for the Presi- dency. .ln 1860 he was elected by the people to the highest office in the na- tion. His election was regarded by the big men in Washington as an ac- cident of politics and a great calamity. He was censored and ridiculed by the papers but he bore it all with kindhearted tolerance. The people didn't realize that he was probably the only man titted for such a position as he now held. He instinctively understood what was needed and what is more he proceeded to work out that need according to his own ideas and plans. He was not above taking the advice of others but he never let it influence him to do something he knew was radically wrong. He was one of the common people and he understood them better than could a more dignified and reserved statesman. He possessed many qualities which made him I1 great man and statesman. He was an extraordinarily clever speaker and could sway his audience any way he wished. The following incident illus- strates this fact. Noah Brooks, one of Lincoln's most intimate associates, relates in one of his articles, that he remembers once meeting a choleric old Democrat striding away from an open air meeting where Lincoln was speak- ing, striking the earth with his cane as he stumped along and exclaiming, He's a dangerous man! a d-d dangerosus man! He makes you believe what he says in spite of yourself! Mr. Brooks attributes this to Lincoln's manner. He seemed to admit away his whole case, but his political oppon- ents complained, he usually carried conviction with him. As he reasoned with his audience, he bent his long form over the platform railing, stooping lower and lower as he argued, until having reached his point, he clinched it fusually with a questionj and then sprang upright, reminding one of the springing open of a jack-knife blade. Lincoln's shrewdness is well known, but he had in him a certain ele- nwent of childlike simplicity. lf reference was made to anything unfamiliar .1 o : !'1 L SENIOR ANNUAL, 1927 tc him he would want to know all about it. VVhat do you suppose makes that tree grow that way, he would ask, and he wasn't satisfied until he fc-und out. Or he would take one of his boys' toys to pieces, find out how it was made and put it together again. Tad, his youngest son, on more than one occasion, had cause to bewail his father's curiosity. One day as Lincoln was studying a photograph of himself, in which one leg was crossed over the other, he said, Now, l can understand why that foot should be enormous. It's a big foot, anyway, and it is near the focus of the instru- ment, but why is the outline of it so indistinct and blurred? l'm confident I did not move it. He was told that probably the throbbing of the large arteries inside the bend of the knee caused an almost imperceptible motion. Lincoln was ve1'y much interested in the discovery as he called it, imme- diately took the position of the figure in the picture, and narrowly watched lus foot, exclaiming, 'l'hat's it! That's it! Now, that's very curious isn't it? Similarly whe11 someone told him the somewhat fantastic derivation of a word, he said, Now that is very queer, and I shall never say capricious again without thinking of the skipping of a goat. He is said to have coined a few words himself, one or two of them are come-up-ence, and inter- rup-tous. He also had a wonderful memory. He committed all of the Euclid and many passages from Shakespeare to memory and often astonished his friends by quotations from this store of knowledge. He was well known for his ability to remember the smallest details of acquaintances and inci- dents in his life. It would be almost impossible to list all of his virtues but if we go into detail concerning a few of the most prominent we will find him to be a most extraordinary man. He spent all his life in storing away knowledge and if he had lived longer he would probably have become one of the foremost writers of the age. ln closing this brief' synopsis of his life, no greater tribute C311 be paid him, than the slightly altered words, put in Wolsey's mouth by Shakespeare and say he: Loved himself last, cherished the hearts that hated him, Still in his right hand carried gentle peace To silence envious tongues, was just and feared not, That all the ends he aimed at were his country's, His God's and truthsg and when at last he fell, He fell a blessed martyr!

All of the teams in the league represent schools much larger than Waterloo High, but even so it was only the brealts of the game that prevented Waterloo from winning all of their league co11- tests. lt was an unusual season in many respects. Waterloo won to games and lost 5, scoring 594 points to their opponents 408. Every team that de- feated W'aterloo was in turn defeated by VVaterloo, and by a larger margin. 'llwo games were lost by a single point and two others were lost in over- time periods.

The girls were not discouraged and prac- ticed faithfully and at the season! close were playing good, fast basketball.

So many of the main-stays of former teams had been graduated, and so little good material was available for development that prospects were not bright for a very successful season. ln spite of these conditions the most attractive schedule in a number of seasons was arranged. It was thought that the boys would learn more baseball by being beaten by good teamis than they would by being able to defeat poorer teams. The chief object of this season was to develop young players for future years, so that XVaterloo may turn out as good baseball teams as they have in the past.

When she turned him o'er the blood surged out. But she poured it in a cup Not a bit of distaste for the work she'd done For it was only a bottle of catsup. MARY H ALL. Taking Pictures john gave his Brownie camera To Don and me to keep, So we thought we'fI take a picture Of my uncle's Hook of sheep. And when we pressed the button At all their funny iaces, Quick as lightning they wheeled And rushed for other places. 'round, And when the film was printed off, We laughed! And laughed in gales! For what we thought we snapped But what we took was tails. 53 was heads, EARL H. LAIIR WATERLOO HIGH SCHOOL A VULGAR HABIT A habit with which most Americans are familiar is gum-chewing in public. Everywhere one goes he is certain to see a few who are adherents to this disgusting practice. It is deemed among people of refinement a thing to be avoided, as it is vulgar and offensive. It may well be called The bovine habit, as it reminds one of a cow that is continuously chewing on a cud. ' When an American is seen chewing gum in France he is classed as a foreign imbecile who has not yet learned the manners of good society, for the French people as a whole, are a very polished people and detest the American vulgarities. Thislhabit is not confined solely to the uncultured class, for it is com- monly noticed among people of the higher educated class. Everywhere- in schools, crowded cities, small villages, street cars, dance halls and even lunch rooms is found a crowd of the kind of people who make gum-chewing a part of their daily lives. You are known by your companions, is an adage which is true. It may be modified so as to read, You are known by your habits, which modi- fication would include all of the gum-chewers in the country. It is a habit which is inexcusable and one to be shunned. Children chew gum because they like the Havorg adults, for the pleasure they get out of it, and others in the adult class, because all of their friends do, or they think it distinguishes them from the out-of-date and places them with the up-to-date person, the kind of person they are striving to be. But the real up-to-date person refrains from this plebian custom and is anti- pathetic to the sight of those about him who are thoroughly absorbed in rumination. ANNA CARROLL, 27. 54 SENIOR ANNUAL, 1927 NATURE One commonly neglected form of our education is the study of nature. We spend hours studying the conquests of Caesar, but how much time do we spent investigating the habits and environments of horses that played such an important part in those wars? We can recite the conjugations of Latin verbs in every declension, but can we, as we walk down the street, tell the name of every tree we see? We read a beautiful poem with all the wonders of nature embodied in itg admire the inspiring thoughts of the authorg but we sometimes fail to recognize the fact that nature, the Howers, birds, insects and animals are directly the cause of that poemfs creation. We, as modern students, should make it a point to examine the ele- ments of the universe more closely. Languages, histories and mathematics are very educational, but the study of nature should not be omitted. Not only books, but observation is an essential source of information. The average American citizen is so rushed in the whirl of his social and business life that he believes he hasn't time to observe nature. He has never felt the thrill of walking through the still forest or hearkening to the beautiful notes of a bird. We can acquire knowledge of nature at our very doors if we will pause a moment in the rush of our duties and watch and listen, al- ways remembering that our very source of life is nature.
