THE ROSEBUD Nineteen Hundred and Twelve - Being the First Annual Published by the Waterloo High School Co Che Parents and Faculty Chis Volume of the Rosebud Is Respectfully Dedicated Ap ey, a aot nh Forward It is with a feeling of gladness and pride that we send forth this little volume. It is the first time that anything of this sort has been undertaken in the Waterloo High School, and we sin- cerely hope it will come up to your expectation. We have spared no pains, time or money on this book, ¢ although work connected with it has been quite burdensome. Nevertheless we will consider it as difficulties surmounted. We owe much to our fellow-students for their Literary and Art contributions found in this Annual; to the business men whose ads appear, for their financial support given us, which speaks well for their interest in the school; to our many subscrib- ers, to Mr. Z. A, Willennar and to the rest of the Faculty, for their valuable aid. To all of these the members of the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred Twelve express their sincere thanks and warmest appreciation.—The Editor.

We kicked over the traces in nineteen nine And found ourselves in the Sophomore clime. We moved over some seats in nineteen ten And found ourselves in the Junior pen. Our reform was sudden from Junior conceit When we found ourselves in the SENIOR seat. TI. When we found ourselves in the Senior class We looked in vain for a likely lass To preside at our banquets, and look after us, too, But she went and deserted us, what could we do? Don’t think for a moment that it dampened our ardor, But we made the faculty think a little harder, For the Juniors started something they thought all right; Well, they soon found out that the stags could bite, III. Six-foot Rhoda held down the back seat, And for scaring the Juniors he can’t be beat; He’s an all-round goodfellow, not a better between deck, And he’s got a peach of a stand-in with the opposite sex. Next in line Russell looms up in view, For wit he has yet to meet his Waterloo. He is Editor-in-Chief of the Annual, too, And thanks from us to him are due. IV. Next in order is the light of our class; Alas! he uses the light for a Freshmen lass. Nothwithstanding all this, we’re proud of Torch, too, Are we six Seniors of this old Waterloo. Zeke, or Percy, is next in the list, He’s there with his tongue, as well as his fist. | He’s a lawyer by birth, if we associate names, So here’s to what he is, and all that he claims. V. Next Charles comes in, with the backbone blest; As he’s scribbling these lines he’ll skip ail the rest. Then Fat comes to have his say; He is a good old scout, but he has his say ; Also we watch him, for we’re afraid he’ll skip With a nice little gir] on a honeymoon trip. As a concluding remark to these eight lines, Let us hope we may have returns of the good old times. ail Jim lines up last of our wonderful bunch, i He’s valedictorian because of his knowledge bumps; He can absorb the lore of our text-books sure, He is used for example for laggarts to cure. Now we'll mention Moudy, Miss Dilla, Willennar and Rumpf, They’ve been true to our class through all the “blue dumps ;” So here’s to the Faculty that has shaped much of our natures, We cherish their memories and wish well for their futures. Vil, Though we've striven hard for the present goal, There is a feeling of sadness in our soul; Friendships are not made to be broken asunder, And our present mood has caused us to wonder Why we always looked forward to our Senior year ; Now we're here—we lo ok back to the Freshmen year. A broad field stretches away in the distance, | And the wiles of the world need training for resistance. . | CHARLES THOMAS, 12. SENIORS FRED BOWMAN, PREsipENn?. “He was a man, take him for all-in.al!; I shall not look upon his like again.” On the morning of Nov. 14, 1893, the residents of Waterloo awakened to the fact that there was a new citizen but lately come among them. “Rhoda” began by clamoring earnestly for his rights and has been a moving factor in Waterloo ever since. He is prominent in the militia, Waterloo Band, and Athletics, but is most at home in social circles. He is admired by all,— (Juniors in particular.) He has piloted his class over the shoals of the Senior year to a successful commencement. Class Flower—Pink rose. Colors—Maroon and Orange. Motto—Onward is our aim. “Dig.” EHP I ae ag area le Werarejas the strength of “leven; Were a tipy, foarm’, tearin’ band, Chuck full of grit and nerve and sand. We maul the Juniors, cuff the Sophs, Make the Freshmen think we’re ancient Goths. We rip, we tear, we do things, too. Hurrah for the Seniors of Waterloo! “SuTdvoyYOod pus Soljied “SULSUIS 918 SeTpeBleds STH ‘spuel1y AUBUT THI] WOAAK Sv WolIsOdsip Auuns puev oafitus [NJtosyO SIE “GIGL jO SS¥ID oY} YIM seystuy pue S1Rvod 9014] POUIVUAL OY OTM “OOTTOJL AL OF uey} ‘epostuy 0} Uoey} pure WInqny oO} jues SVM oT JLY} pAvBy OS PolTpnys otf aloyM ‘RUUNAIO Worl spreq AopIVID “iy puew dno FX, oe L ‘dius eB AUR 8.010]. .

Junior Class History In the fall of ‘og twenty-five frightened Freshmen gathered in the assembly room of the Waterloo High School. At the first of the term a few of us grew discouraged and withdrew, but twenty-one have proven themselves to be worthy of the name of Juniors, and we hope next year to have the distinction of being the largest class that has ever graduated from the W. H. S. During our first year the most of our time was taken up with X’s and Ys, Latin constructions, the unspeakable names of Ancient History and the thoughts of our great writers. Our class organized at the first of the term with Herman Depew as President and Audrey Vogtman as Secretary; and several months later we were the possessors of a new banner, which was envied by all the upper classmen. In the Sophomore vear all of our members returned but two, and three joined us, making our total number twenty-one. This term we were busy with the translations of Caesar, Modern and Mediaeval History, propositions of Geometry, and Literature. No event of special interest took place during the year. At the beginning of the Junior year all the members of the class returned, and although the studies were very difficult, all are proving themselves capable of mastering them. The officers for this year are Harry Girardot, President, and Hilda Sewell, Secretary. The class spirit ran very high this term. We have earned our name, but we carry heavy hearts when we realize that one more year will bring us to the end of our goal, but before us rises our motto: “We have finished to begin.” Junior Class Song’ Tune—Bluebells. Come, all ye Juniors noble, All jolly classmates dear ; Let’s send up one good cheer ; For this, our Alma Mater, We'll make the ceilings ring, And now before we leave here, This song we gladly, sing— Chorus. Sing with that spirit that within us lies, Sing for our class, girls, our nineteen-thirteen ; Throw up your caps, boys, ’tis no time for sighs, Loyal forever to old nineteen-thirteen. Soon shall we be completing Our happy lot cast here, And at our glad last meeting, Depart from friends so dear. But as we wait the measure Of fame that time may bring, Our hearts o’erflow with pleasure, So join with us and sing— Chorus. Sing with that spirit that within us lies, Sing for our class, girls, our nineteen-thirteen ; Throw up your caps, boys, ‘tis no time for sighs, Loyal forever to old nineteen-thirteen. RALPH REINHART, ’I3. Junior Class Poem Most wonderful class our school has seen Is the grand old class of nineteen-thirteen. Although we've striven with all the rest, They all acknowledge we're the best. The Seniors thought we could not survive, But still we all did live and thrive; And our old class of eleven and ten Is now the greatest there ever has been. Peaceful and pleasant has passed the time Since first we entered in nineteen-nine. These three long years we’ve stood the test And always have tried to do our best. Our teachers e’er were kind and wise, Aiding and urging us on to rise; Yet another year and we'll reach the shore With a record greater than any before. Our Junior sun soon will have set, Then we'll be Seniors, yes, you bet. But when our Senior year doth dawn, We'll remember the Junior year that’s gone.

Sixteen of these were graduates of the Grammar depart- ment of the Waterloo schools. Four were from Corunna, and the remainder were from the country. These made up the largest class that was ever enrolled in the Waterloo High School. Starting in the Freshman year, we became accustomed to the program of some new studies, different than those we had in the grades; these being Latin, Ancient History, English and Algebra. Our teachers were Mr. Moudy, Mr. Rumpf, and Mr. Willennar. We also took Music under Mr. Charles Reed, and Drawing under Mrs. Fairfield, of Angola. We started in as a jolly bunch with this vast, unbroken number. But it was not long to last, for soon after school commenced, Russell Bowman left the class to join the U. S. Navy. Shortly after that Roy Stahl, growing tired of Latin, also deserted us. Before the year had passed six more of our number had left us, i. ¢., Winnie Knisely, Carl Knisely, Walter Dawson, Paul Getts, Wayne Leas, and Lester Dull. The class now retained that number of twenty-three until the end of the year. All passed except ten, who had to take first year Latin over. In the Sophomore year the class started in with twenty-three. Lester joined the class again. In the Sophomore year we studied English, Latin, Alge- bra, and Agriculture. Some months before school was out, Russell Shoemaker and Clarence Mills quit school, leaving only twenty-one in the class. The class in general is most always good, never bad, but sometimes indifferent. CHARLES GEORGE. ee Sophomore Class Poem “Sophomores—foolish,” you often hear Ascending from Juniors so great; It’s the same thing over from year to year, But they never think of their fate. Of all four classes we sure must succeed, While the Seniors must surely fall; For of pretty girls they stand in great need, For they haven’t got any at all. So do not look in great wonder If you would see us make a great stride, For we have ten boys for our honor And eleven nice girls to our pride. When teachers are in a weary mind, They come to us to teach; For they soon become happy and sure will find Each one of us within their reach, Upon gloomy mornings, when all things seem sad, Things sure must soon get right gay; For some of us Sophomores always are glad Through every long hour of the day. In all the school work that to us has been ’signed, We sure just make things git; For everything right we always must find, And we never let one lesson slip. In lieterary work we stand at the top, Our music has not been surpassed ; And when extra is being worked up, They just call upon the Sophomore class. Yes, we are the class of old fourteen, So studious (it’s always the rule) ; And a brighter class has never been seen In the history of the Waterloo School.

Formerly there were only twelve in our ranks, but when we came to be eighth graders our numbers were increased by the arrival of one new student. When Freshmen dignity was reached, two of our girls withdrew from our class, but was made up by the arrival of nine new students. Thus, we entered High School with twenty members. We have mounted the ninth round of the educational ladder and by faithfully trying to live up to our motto, “No reward without effort,’ we sincerely hope that the future will reward us. Freshmen Class Song’ Tune—Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! In the school room here we sit, Thinking of our lessons, too, lor the bright and happy future we shall see; And our hearts are filled with joy, lor we're to our High School true, And obedient to the faculty we'll be. Chorus. Hail! Oh Hail! ye happy Freshmen, Cheer up, comrades, we will win. And beneath our banner fair, We shall to our High School bear, All the honor that we owe to her and more. Through the grades we worked our way, ‘To our place as Freshmen now, And we're sure we'll do the other years too. But before we reach the end, We must many lessons learn, And earn the praise of teachers fond and true. Chorus. So within our school-room here, We are working now you see, For the honors of our graduating day. And we almost shout for joy, For a happy class are we, As we think of being home with “ma” once more. Chorus. —HELeNn B. Goopwin, ’I5. Freshmen Class Poem We entered the High School in the fall, Twenty in number, at the old bell’s call; Our thoughts soared high—e’en up to heaven, That bright September morn of nineteen eleven. Tearing much as we entered the door, To meet and tackle the wonderful lore, Lest Latin and all were beyond our reach, With five instructors to assign and teach. It was not long till we felt at home; And through the halls we all did roam, Seeking recitation rooms, library and basement, Up and down the flights of stairs we went. For our motto stood out in a way very clear, “No Reward Without Effort,’ was sure to appear ; And we were to be numbered in literary fame, If we only could win for ourselves a name. The Juniors and Seniors looked at us with pride, And sighed to think they’d so soon leave our side. The Sophomores stared with jealous eyes; They’d met their equals, and met them with surprise. ‘he year is ’most enced, vacation fs near, Our struggles have counted, and knowledge bought dear; There’s been much to learn besides book-rules and numbers, Receptions were fine, though took time from our slumbers. But we'll win in the end, and with honors, too; It doesn’t pay to shirk, but to will and then do. Our banner hangs high, with colors Green and White; May it stand to us for the brave and the right.

Only ten now remain in the class that started in the primary room, eight years ago. There have been seven who joined us in different rooms, and there have also been six who have left our ranks this year. Three of these are going to other schools. The class from the primary room until the fourth grade remained the same in number. Here we were joined by Vera Newcomer, Lula Kennedy and Harry Rude. The class then remained the same until we had reached the sixth grade. Here five fell behind our class. At the seventh grade we were joined by Clara Colchin and at the eighth grade by Katie Lower and Charles Colby. As a class, we have endeavored to do the best we could and all hope to enter the Freshman class next year with a determination to go through High School. a GLADYS BEARD. CLaAss ROLL.

The English language is a tool which every American boy —..4 girl must learn to handle easily and well if he is to be a success in the useful occupations of life; for this reason, four years of time and attention is given to the subjects which help him to use his mother tongue in an effective way. ENGLISH COMPOSITION. English composition a im to increase the student’s vocabulary, to make him more careful in ordinary conversation, and to enable him to express his thoughts in written composition correctly, clearly, and with some degree of beauty. Correct punctuation is insisted upon till this becomes a habit. RHETORIC. The study of Rhetoric is a practical one for every student. In whatever line of work he may be interested after he leaves school, he will be expected to speak and write correctly, and much of his success as a business and professional man will depend on his ability in this respect. Rhetoric aims to teach a student to be correct in speaking and writing, to say what he means briefly and easily, and to express himself in a way which cannot be misunderstood. AMERICAN LITERATURE, The aim in our study of the history of American Literature is to acquaint the pupil with the lives of our great men and their works. We bring out the relation between the work of the author and the history of his time so. that the student may understand that history may be read through literature and that a man’s writing depends largely upon the conditions in the country. We read in the class room those parts of the writings of each great author which will be most apt to influence the student to choose good reading matter for himself when he leaves school. ENGLISH LITERATURE. The object of this study is to introduce the pupil to the great men of English Literature. An intimate acquaintance with them and their work is neither practical nor, perhaps, desirable at this stage of progress. Nowadays, however, the young person who has not a general knowledge of the development of our language and literature, a certain degree of familiarity with the greatest literary men, is badly handicapped. It is hoped that a large proportion of the pupils will be sufficiently interested to continue reading and studying, either by themselves or in college. Throughout the entire course, besides the classics read in the class room, the student makes outlines and writes essays with more or less supplementary reading. Book reports are required from several books obtained in the library and read at home. Much time is spent in recitation, telling chapter by chapter the story of the book which the class is studying. This is excellent practice, causing the student to think quickly and express his thoughts in the best English, also gives him greater self-possession and reliance. The most important result is the knowledge gained of English writers and their works, enabling them to select with judgment the reading which will make so large a part of the quiet pleasures of active life. ANCIENT History. The beginning of civilization in the Orient and its development in Greece and Rome are studied. Particular attention is paid to the origin of the institu- tions which form the basis of modern nations. The daily life as shown in manners and customs receives considerable attention. MEDIAEVAL AND Mopern Hisrory. This year of history work aims to show the gradual formation and growth of the great nations which occupy the stage of history today. A large proportion of time is spent in teaching the events of the 19th Century which have brought about the present condition in the world at large. UNITED STATES HIsTory. No study is more important than the history of our own country. Special attention is given to the constitutional development of our nation, its industrial growth and territorial expansion. Civics. In this study the aim is to prepare the young people to do their civic duties well in later life. They must have some definite knowledge of their rights. They must be familiar with some underlying principles so that they may do clear and independent thinking on new questions. They must know the facts con- cerning the division of governmental powers, and the duties of officials, and appreciate the relation that exists between our government and everyday welfare. Hence the work is made as practical as possible. Attention is given to the prog- ress of other countries in matters of government. Above all, a large place is given to class discussions of live questions, growing out of the text, or suggested by current history. MATHEMATICS, Every subject in the High School has its place in the curriculum because of definite ways in which it helps each pupil. Perhaps the greatest value derived from the study of mathematics lies in the training it gives to the pupils to think things out for themselves. ALCEBRA. A year and a half is given to the subject of Algebra, the course being arranged for the first year and the first half of the second year. It is the aim to make the work as practical as possible. The elementary processes are con- stantly applied in solving concrete examples from different studies, notably physics, and they are thus made of real interest to the student. In this connec- tion he learns how the natural laws are worked out by mathematical formulae. The relation that every straight line or curve bears to an equation is shown by means of a graph. The study of Algebra cultivates the habit of clear thinking and trains the pupil to express himself accurately and exactly. It is one of the best studies to assist a pupil “to think straight.” This habit once acquired will follow a pupil into all his lines of work. As Algebra is the basis of all future studies in mathematics, especial emphasis is laid upon its study for all students who expect to pursue a scientific course in which mathematical computations are involved. GEOMETRY. Geometry is taught during the latter half of the second year, and all of the third year. Here, too, the aim is to make the work practical. Its value is readily recognized in drawing, land measuring, pattern making, and carpenter work. Definite propositions are given which are to a great extent demonstrated. Then based upon these propositions, a large number of exercises are given to the pupils, which they must work out for themselves. The solution of these exercises is what causes the pupil to think, to be exact in the use of his words, to be logical and able to reason to a definite conclusion. He is obliged to use his imagination and to see definite figures projected into space and in this way a development is brought about that is not secured by the study of any other subject. LATIN. In answer to the question, “Why should Latin be studied?” Prof. Lord, of Dartmouth College, said recently: “The fundamental reason for the study of Latin is not to open a literature, not to impart information, not to develop cul- ture as distinguished from power, not to furnish helps to an educated mind. The fundamental reason for its study is that it is a subject pre-eminently fitted to further the great end of all education; the development of the power of exact thinking. The man who can think exactly is the man of power.” All industrial schools recognize this fact and advise that those who enter into their ranks have some knowledge of Latin. Those who expect to teach should give some time to this study, for through it they get a more thorough understanding of English grammar, and the study of words and their derivation is helpful in all English work. From the first the student must give his best attention to the subject with which he is working, keep many things in his mind at once, noticing each letter, and discriminate in the use of words as he translates. In this course one reads the most remarkable military history ever written, becomes acquainted with one of the world’s greatest orators, becomes familiar with the daily life and customs of the Roman people. The beauty of its figures, the variety of expression, the mythology which it suggests and the purposes for which it is written, make the study of Virgil delightful. From this course one receives not only knowledge and pleasure, but, quoting from Prof. Lord again: “A mind that has been trained to observe, to compare and to judge, that is, to think exactly, is better fitted to do any work than one — that has knowledge without training. It is practically trained in the best way, is better fitted to earn its bread and butter, to tackle and solve the problems of daily life, and in current phrase, to become efficient.” COMMERCIAL ARITHMETIC. The work in the Commercial Arithmetic covers one-half year. This year it was given in the first semester of the Senior year. The object of the course is to furnish a review of the fundamental and practical parts of Arithmetic, pre- paring the student to meet the conditions of ordinary business. Considerable attention is paid to drill in rapid addition, subtraction, multi- plication, division and fractions throughout the semester, while the main work is in percentage, discount, interest, insurance, notes, bonds, stocks and practical measurements. BOOKKEEPING. The Bookkeeping work follows the Arithmetic, being given in the second semester. We do not aim to turn out expert accountants, but the course gives a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals which will enable our graduates to go into an ordinary store or business and take complete charge of the books. The books used in the work are: Day Book, Journal, Ledger, Cash Book, Sales Book; invoices are filed, bills made out, notes, drafts and all actual business papers. The work is practical, with just enough theory and questions to make it clear to the student. The Bliss System is used. . PHYSICS. The course of instruction in Physics includes a study of the text-book for the purpose of getting a connected and comprehensive view of the subject; demonstrations in the class room to illustrate the facts and phenomena of the science and their practical applications, and individual laboratory exercises to supplement the demonstrations and recitations in order to develop in the student scientific methods of observation and thinking. The school is well equipped with apparatus for class room demonstrations and laboratory experiments. Among the important pieces are an imported bai- ance (sensitive to one-tenth mg.), air pumps, Wimbhurst electrical machine (20-in. hard rubber plates), X-ray tube and fluroscope, and numerous other pieces of apparatus. About twenty-five experiments relating to measurements, forces, pressure, heat, motion, energy, magnetism, electricity, sound and light, are required to be made by the pupil. A careful record of each experiment, consisting of data, computations and answers to questions is kept in a neat form in a special labora- tory note book. AGRICULTURE. While it is not in the province of the public schools, as at present organized, to teach the trades, it is their privilege and their duty to put the boys and girls in intelligent touch with the life about them and to use all of the means at hand in the process of education. Much has been said about! the tendency among boys to leave the farm for the town, and many attempts at explanation have been made. While it is per- fectly proner for the boy to leave his father’s farm and seek his fortune in a crowded city, sometimes he goes with the mistaken notion that he could substi- tute wit Jor work in life’s contest, or because of the lack of appreciation of the dignity of labor. Sometimes, also, he has gone because he has failed to see his opportunities on the farm. There is a belief that somcthing better is to be found, and so there is a lack of respect for the calling of the father. Furthermore, there is a lack of respect of manual labor and a belief that education can make it possible to live without work. As most of the boys and girls will be com- pelled to work with their hands, they should be taught early that labor is honor- able and that idleness is disgraceful. The dominant industry of the country is Agriculture! In the teaching of it we can create a respect for it and at the same time show its possibilities. It can be shown that brain and muscle can accomplish just as much on the farm as in the city and that the chances for success are greater. It may not be in the province of the public school to teach any trade or industry as such, but it is the province of the school to teach the boys and girls how to work and to put them in the path of honest living. This is the purpose in making Agriculture one of the studies in the Waterloo school this year. Below is the course fol- lowed: I Soits.—Origin, make up, physical properties, drainage, cultivation, fertilizing, etc. II Farm Crops.—Classification, corn, wheat, other cereals, roots, tubers, forage crops, seed selection, rotations, etc. III HorricuLtture.—Propagation of fruits, tillage. caring for the orchard, other fruits, insects (injurious and beneficial), plant diseases and their treat- ment. IV AnimAL HusBANpRyY.—Farm animals, horses, cattle, sheep, swine, the breeding of live stock, the feed of animals, balanced rations and feeding stand- ards, etc. V_ Datryinc.—Qualities of milk, butter making, testing milk, milk prod- LICtS. GEC. VI Pouttry, Bees and numerous other things that come in with farm life. Boys and girls in Waterloo High School have been given an opportunity to take this excellent course. MANUAL TRAINING. The Manual Training is restricted to boys in the eighth grade and the first and second years of the High School. New students are taught the names and use of tools. After a fair degree of skill has been acquired they are encouraged to make various small articles, such as game. boards, blue print frames, match boxes. These are followed by more complicated problems, such as sleds, camp stools, mirrors and tables. The work begins with the principles of elementary carpentry, neatness and accuracy being insisted upon. This work is followed by advanced work in joinery and last by work in cabinet making. Kighth grade and Freshmen girls are given sewing work, both plain and fancy. THE LIBRARY The Waterloo High School Library consists of five hundred fifty volumes, four hundred thirty volumes for reference and one hundred twenty of fiction. It is both circulating and reference, and volumes are added each year. It is classified according to the Dewey Decimal System, and provided with an accurate shelf-list, which serves as a card catalogue. Seven periodicals are received and filed by the Library, viz., the Century Magazine, Current Literature, the Scien- tific American, Bird Lore, St. Nicholas, Our Dumb Animals, and the Youth’s Companion. This Library is recognized by the Public Library Commission of Indiana, which sends the Librarian the monthly A. L. A. Book List, the Library Occurrent, and other publications. The assistant state organizer, Miss Ora Wil- liams, inspected this Library last December and approved of its organization and management.

There is music which merely pleases the ear without enobling results, just as there are pictures which have no higher aim than to please the eye. Then there are also pictures as well as music which teach us self-denial and lofty purpose, which stir the heart and excite the noble passions. Music is also a rest for the weary and even the tired body. It softens the heart and stirs the soul. This is the kind of art and music which every school child, from the Primary to the High School, should be taught to appreciate. It is the aim of the Waterloo schools to teach her students to appreciate as well as love this realm of art and music. The first work in the Freshman and Sophomore years is pen and ink from still life groups and later from copies. During the spring term water color work is taken up. The students are first taught to study flowers, their lights, shadows, colors and shades. In the Junior year water color painting is studied more extensively. The students work from copies of landscape, flowers, and fruit. This lays a firm foundation for the pastel painting in the Senior year. The students have found this work especially interesting and many fine paintings have been made in the past year. During the last weeks of each school year there is an exhibtion of all art work done by the sudents during that year, held in the High School building, to which the public is invited. This enables the patrons and outside public to see for themselves the art work done by the pupils. ‘The Music in the High School is purely chorus work of the highest quality. Music is selected of the best classical standard, which rests and enobles the minds of the young people, and teaches them to leve only the best. ANNA P.

The choruses: Gloria, Soldier Chorus, Bridal Chorus, and Fairyland Waltz have been worked by the school as a whole. On Dec. 17, at the Methodist Church, a musical was given by the students, which showed that the musical talent of our school is classed with the best in the state. This year Athletic games have been within the school itself and not with other schools. In the opinions of many this is the better plan, as more students will receive benefit of the exercises than would if all energies were spent on one picked team. The work consists of Basket-ball, Baseball, Tennis and Evening Walks. Basket-ball grounds were arranged in the fall and many exciting game: were played by different classes and the two societies. We were unable to secure a room for indoor playing, so when the cyclone came along on Nov. 11, taking the basket-ball goals with it, the games ceased for the time being. This has been an off-year for baseball as the spring opening up so late we were unable to get the grounds in shape. Evening walks were taken throughout the year by parties of various sizes, from two up, some under the supervision of the Faculty, and some otherwise.

Although the Ciceronian Society has existed for years, we can claim that it has never seen a more successful year than 1911-1912. The Society was created together with its Zeda sister for the purpose of training the student to be at ease before an audience, and also as a means of entertainment for the student. The undefinable breach that often exists between the Faculty and Student body is also broken down by giving the student a society in which he can feel that his opinion is always respected and that the Faculty is not there to tyranize over them or to make their knowledge a text-book grind, but to give the student a broad idea of human existence. Synopsis OF WoRK OF IQII-I0Q12..

The Ciceronians feel proud of their success this year. We have kept up the standard of our work and moved on toward victory. THE ZEDALETHEAN SOCIETY. Sept. 15—The Zedalethean Society was called to order by the old President, Glen Overmyer. In accordance with their constitution, nominations for the ensuing term were offered. After a prolongued election, Harry Girardot was chosen President with a staff of eight members, Glen Myers acting as Secretary. On Oct. 20, their first program was given. It was carried out in perfect order. Mr. Girardot made a pleasing inaugural address and the other members of the section more than came up to expectations. During the following week a Glee Club was organized. Nov. 29, the second section appeared with a program, which even surpassed the first. It being given on our National holiday, a feeling of Thanksgiving was experienced by all present. On Jan. 16 the last program for the first semester was rendered, with a manifestation of high spirit. A short scene from Julius! Caesar was given, and being something new along that line, was received with great applause. A Society song had been composed for the occasion. It took the Cices by surprise, but they were encouraged by a short talk from Mr. H. C. Willis, of ’gr. Jan. 31, 191, the Zedalethean Society was again called to order to elect officers for the second semester. Russell Matson easily carried the election with Mildred Huffman as his Secretary. The usual number was appointed for his staff and the work moved on without an interruption. The program on March 1 was the best ever given in the High School. A new feeling had developed in the Society, new numbers were produced that never had been thought of. It was a great day for the Society and every one could not help but breathe a word of praise. The Ciceronians responded well, but this only rekindled the spirit among the Zedas. The work of the Society could not be better; every member has taken his share of the load and carried it with ease. Our aim has been high, yet we believe we have come up to the requirements.

By Herman DePew, ’13. Fellow Members of the Ciceronian Society and Friends: I can only give you my heartfelt thanks for the honor you have given me and I do solemly affirm that to the best of my ability I will enter upon the work with a determina- tion, and a desire that the Society will be made better. Remember, friends, that your success in life depends upon you and what you make it. So raise your standard high, be honest, loyal and true to yourself and your Society, and your work will be crowned with success and not failure. These are my sentiments and society principles. Being elected, I am thank- ful. If IT had not have been I would have thought the same. In my opinion the negligence on the part of members in this Society has reached a crisis, and passed. “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I believe that this So- ciety cannot endure with half the members idle and half industrious. I do not expect this Society to be dissolved, but I do expect that it will cease to be divided. Therefore put a few more hours’ work on your Society duties and I will assure you that you will get value received. “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right,” let us continue earnestly the work we are in and thus build an organization that will be cherished as a lasting monument by ourselves and our successors. INAUGURAL ADDRESS. By Russell Matson, ’12 Kind Members of the Zedalethian Literary Society, Members of the Faculty, Friends and Schoolmates: The office which I now hold was unsolicited by me, but since you have put this trust in me I shall endeavor to perform the duties of this office to the best of my ability, and hope you will ever be ready to assist me. It is with just diffidence that I relieve the former President, an accomplished and eminent young man, whose name will ever appear conspicuous on the pages of the history of our Society, and in the memory of each of its loyal members. It is said that the birds of today build their nests the same as they did ten thousand years ago, but this is far from being the case of this Society, our aim being to do something better each day so that our fellow-beings can look upon our work or the fruits of our labor, and say that the world has been made better because of the fact that we have lived upon it. Yes, dear friends, let it ever be our aim to progress, and our hope that we inay impart the same impulse to others, and may this be our motto, “Let us strive in this our humble sphere to shine.” In speaking of progress, I might state a few of the wonderful things that have been performed in the last year or so, and I know of no reason why we should not expect even greater advancement in the future. Why, we are just beginning to realize that a great number of things can be done with a brain, a will, and a pair of hands. We have scarcely recovered from the astonishing discovery that the horizon is not fixed, we have fonnd out at last that it alone cannot mit our progress, we can crowd and push it back and it will continue to retreat from us as we advance. This earth belongs to us as fellow-beings and we are allowed to do with it 1s we wish, restricted in our actions only by the direct mandate of the Creator. There is practically nothing hopeless or impossible if we are determined and by keeping up this state of ‘mind we may overcome most, if not all, of the obstacles that may be thrown in our way. We cannot be held in check, we are only walled in by the boundaries of our dreams. There are no shackles or fetters with which we may be mound, that we cannot, with persistent reasoning and dogged labor, rend asunder. The mind is the birthplace of all our achievements; knowledge cannot be conquered or sub- dued; it is invincible. The wings of our imagination can attain to the very heavens. So why should we discount any goal. It seems to me that we have innumerable examples of persons who have labored persistently, who have sacrificed their time and their enjoyments, yes, a nd I dare say their lives, that they might accomplish some great end, and to help the generation in which they lived and the generations to come. There is no greater example of sacrifice than that of our Savior, whose life was given up that we, His children, might be saved. I need not go many years back, nor is it necessary to go out from this, our beloved land, to get examples of those who showed to us self-sacrifice and per- sistent effort to do something worth while. Two of these great and noble men are Washington and Lincoln, who did such service for our country, securing for us the rights which we now so much enjoy. Although their reward was small while they lived, but they made a name which shall live as long as this nation shall stand and deserving eternal bliss in the hereafter. Is not that enough of a reward? Is it not worth the price? Ought we not sacrifice as much? I dare say it is worth the price, and we too can accomplish something, for all have some talents, as the parable in the Bible relates, some have five, some two and others one. It is our duty to develop our talents, and then grasp Oppor- tunity as it knocks at our door. . As I have mentioned opportunity, I believe it would be proper to say a few words concerning it. One great writer wrote the following lines on the subject: “Master of human destinies am I, Fame, love and fortune my foosteps wait, Cities and fields I walk, and penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and passing by Hovel, mart and palace, soon or late, I knock once, unbidden, 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 stop or hesitate Are condemned to failure and to woe. Seek me in vain and uselessly implore I will answer not, and return no more.” The thought expressed in those lines, it seems to me, would make most of us pause, become disheartened and discouraged, to think that Opportunity knocks but once and if we do not heed we are lost, lost forever. Of what use would be the remainder of our lives? But I do not believe that we should take such a pessimistic view. I would rather entertain the thoughts that are expressed in these lines: “They do me wrong who say I come no more, When once I knock and fail to find you in, For every day I stand outside your door And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win.” “Wail not for precious chances passed away, Weep not for golden ages on the wane; Each night I burn the records of the day, At sunrise each soul is born again.” Dear friends, take these thoughts for what they are worth, and if I have said anything to help you, I shall consider myself well paid. In closing, I may say that I shall ever rely upon the hearty support of you, fellow-members, to assist me in the discharging of the duties of the important trust which you have confided in me. AN “ANGEL UNAWARES.” The chill winds of bleak November howled and shrieked dismally ; the night would have been as dark as Egypt, but for the snow-covered ground and the white flakes still fast falling. The narrow, winding road was made almost indis- cernible by the heaped and drifted snow. All in their sheltering homes thought with pity of anyone whom necessity compelled to be out in the storm that wild, stormy night. Few ventured to leave their friends, for those on the road stopped at the first house they came to and did not attempt to go on, for their ‘nearest neighbors” were about a mile away. Alone by the glowing fireside in the prairie home of Henry Winston, the ranchman, sat his only daughter. Iris. She was thinking of her father, who had gone to the city that day, and who even now might be on his way home. “God pity him if he be,” fervently exclaimed the girl to herself, as she heaped more fuel on the fire and pulled the window shades more closely. The invalid mother had retired, leaving her daughter alone to keep up the fire and watch for the father’s return. Having made the house as secure as possible against the piercing winds, she returned to ‘her seat by the fire and again fell to musing. Earlier in the evening Bob Cameron, on his way home from work on a neighboring ranch, had stopped, as was his wont, to chat a while with Iris. Their meeting had ended in a disagreement, and Bob had departed in anger. It was of all this that Tris was thinking as she sat alone by the fire that night. Suddenly she heard a stamping of feet on the porch, followed by a rude knock on the door. Iris hesitated about opening the door, but as the knock was soon repeated, she arose and threw it open. The man on the threshold presented an appearance far from being attractive or prepossessing. He was heavy and tall, but seemed old and feeble, as he tremblingly asked for food and lodging for the night. “I am afraid that we cannot accommodate you,” said the girl; then seeing the half angry, half disappointed look which came over his face, “however, I will ask my mother,” she added. She disappeared in the direction of her mother’s room, and the stranger was alone on the steps. “Mother,” she exclaimed excitedly, as she closed the door of her mother’s room behind her, “there’s a roughest looking man outside; he wants to know whether he may have lodging for the night. I think that as we are alone it would be better to turn him away. What do you say?” “T think that perhaps it would be better to entertain him; you know that has always been our custom,” answered her mother. “Yes, mother, I know; but he is such a rough, villainous-looking old man, and we are alone. Besides father left quite a sum of money in the house.” “Yes, dear, I know; but, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for there- by some have entertained angels unawares.’ ” “Just as you like, mother,” reluctantly agreed the girl, “but,” she added, “I never heard of an angel that smelled so much like tobacco smoke.” Again opening the door, she told the stranger (not very amiably) that he might come in. With a rude “growl” he shuffled into the room, removed his hat and without awaiting an invitation, seated himself at the table. “I would like something to eat,’ he said suddenly. “Well,” said Iris, “I like your nerve; how- ever, if you’re sure you deserve it, I’ll get some supper for you.” The stranger remained silent, and Iris prepared for him a plain but sub- stantial supper, which he “gobbled” in sullen silence. Iris watched the stranger ; in the meantime trying to quiet the big Shepherd dog, who, since the arrival of the villainous-looking stranger, had kept up a continuous fierce, low growl, which indicated his dislike for the intruder. When the man had finished his supper, and Iris had cleared everything away, she told the stranger where his bed would be for the night, and plainly hinted that she would be glad if he would retire. But he replied that as “he wished to see her father, he would just lie down on the couch.’ After some deliberation the girl agreed, and sat down in the easy chair, to get what sleep she could. She had just fallen into a doze, when she was suddenly awakened, to see bending over her, the wretched ruffian, his right hand raised high as if to strike; gleaming brightly in the upraised hand was a knife. Even at that appalling moment Iris saw that he had thrown off his disguise, and was no longer the feeble, travel-worn, old man, who had asked for shelter, but now appeared in his own person, Burly Bob! Though much frightened, Iris endeavored to steady her trembling tones, as she asked, “What is it that you want?” “Hush, girl, silence,’ came the answer in low tones from the ruffian. “Don’t stir, or this knife is buried in your heart.” Then, as the girl became quiet in his grasp, he continued (still in a low tone) “Listen, girl, I have heard from trusted persons that at a recent date your father sold a herd of cattle, receiving in payment a large sum of money; now listen, I have heard, too, that he has not yet deposited the money in a place of security. Don’t try to fool me, but get the money right now. “Well,” said Iris, in a resigned tone, “it’s in mother’s room; I must go after it, I suppose.” “Yes, and be quick about it,’ was his answer. He did not think far enough ahead to.know that he would be far safer in accompanying her, and for this she was glad. She left the room and hurried to her mother’s chamber where she hastily found the money and hurriedly thrusting it into her blouse, she returned to the sitting room where Burly Bob was still standing., He held out his hand expectantly, but she only replied that she had gone to her mother’s room to get a key, with which to open a secret vault in the wall. Thrusting the key into the lock, she opened the door of a little vault, and, taking therefrom a big bill book, handed it to the outlaw, secretly hoping that he would depart without examining the contents of the wallet. But in this she was disappointed, for, holding the glittering knife between his teeth, he coolly proceeded to open the wallet. When his eye fell upon the contents, which was nothing but paper, his face became black with rage. He looked up in surprise, for the girl had sud- denly disappeared, and he immediately remembered to have seen the dog slink from the room some time before; now the suspicion entered his mind that Iris had made her escape, and bounding from the room, he was just in time to see Iris carrying her mother out into the open air. He was about to attempt to prevent their escape, when, in the darkness, he stumbled and fell. While attempt- ing to arise something hurled itself upon him in the darkness, and he knew that it was the great dog. With a sudden motion he threw the dog from him, and started to run. But misfortunes never come singly, and he was scarcely on his way to escape when he heard voices, very near at hand. While running he could not feel sure of their direction, so he stopped to listen. The voices had stopped. While listening, a heavy hand was clapped on his shoulder and he was forced to surrender himself to Mr. Winston and Bob Cameron. Seeing that resistance was useless, he allowed them to take him to the house. After he had been bound and gagged, he was guarded by Mr. Winston while Bob Cameron went in search of Iris and her invalid mother. They had gone scarcely a quarter of a mile from the house, for, in her fright, Mrs. Winston was completely overcome and Iris was unable to carry her far without stopping to rest. They were resting when Cameron found them. He relieved the tired girl of her burden, and in silence _ they all returned to the house. Mr. Winston reported that the prisoner was asleep and that on the morrow they would take him to the county jail, there to await his trial. While his wife was telling him all she knew of what occurred, a private conversation was going on between Iris and Bob, the result of which appeared the next day, when, after lodging the prisoner in jail, they visited the office of the county clerk, after which they went to a parsonage, and in a few days there occurred a wedding reception, at the home of Mr. Winston, and the bride, whom everyone was congratulating, was Iris, and the bridegroom was Bob Cameron, famous for the capture of Burly Bob, the outlaw.

A colonial maid down the valley strayed, Plucking the wood-land violets blue; Twas in days of old, when our fathers were bold And every heart was true. So the maiden strolled down that path so old, Wondering, as the day rolled by, Why no lover her way had chanced to stray, As strolling, she breathed a sigh. Her sisters were fair, with a stylish air, With indifference well-feigned, and minds well trained, To their artful play, a dazzling gay Train of suitors they ever retained. But this shy, young lass, before a glass, Seemed anything but fair ; For she was tanned, as a southern land, With ringlets of nut-brown hair. “They tease and laugh because I’m not half As fair as my sisters three ; I'll show them some day, even a General may Perchance be attracted by me.” The words were scarce said till a flash of red Hailed the approach of an officer gay; Then the underbrush swayed and into the glade Stepped a beautiful, prancing bay. His rider looked fine. “Aha! just in time To meet this shy country girl; Pll jolly the child of this virgin wild And perhaps make her think I’m an Earl.” He followed this course, and reigned in his horse And dismounted with boyish air ; “Ah there! little girl—oh! my brain’s in a whirl, For I never met lady so fair. Your eyes are as bright as a beacon light; Most bewitching are your ringlets: For you I'd fight with supreme delight, A whole army of rebels with bayonets,” Now the maid well knew that this was untrue And for a while did not speak; Just a faint tinge of red as she lowered her head With modesty (?) leaped to her cheek. “Tf you meant what you said I might be led To give your words a thought; But ’tis plain to see that you think me As easily fettered as not.” “Come! come! my dear, you need not fear But that my heart is true.” In his boyish glee he waited to see What the pretty maid would do. “Aha!” then thinks the little minx I really must play my part well; It is quite worth while if I win but a smile, And I may now, who can tell?” “You're a little old, and much too bold,” Said she, “for a girl like me. And I love another, not a brother, Who is better far than thee.” said she. “There’s another?’ gasped he. “Yes, yes,’ (His pride had taken a fall.) “If you do not know, I'll tell you so, There are more that are brave; that’s all.” He looked at her hair, thought her cheek was fair, And he knew that sweet would be A kiss from her lips, as the nectar Jove sips, “And win her I must,’ mused he. “Let that other fellow go, come marry me, so, You'll never have aught to regret. If you'll be the light of my castle bright Just give me one sweet violet.” She glanced quickly away and sweetly did say, As she gave him the whole boquet, “Tf you’re not afraid,” (in her eyes mischief played), “you may speak to my father today.” Masev Kiser, ’15. oes “NIST A BIG STORY.” : Oh, what an attraction these delayed days of spring have for some students, especially “the most studious!” The soft, warm breeze has a wonderful effect upon the intellect, not to mention ambition. Our minds are inclined towards sluggishness and our spirits low, as if the weight of the warm sunshine depressed them. The determined mien, once so proudly evidenced, has been sadly stricken with the ravages of the “spring fever.” This “fever” often is creative of a mis- chievous spirit, and is a very potent incentive toward “grinding” (to use the schoolboy’s phraseology) of a beautiful afternoon now and then. A few days ago the outside air was so inviting and the sun shone so brightly that it created a temptation which two of the Juniors and a brilliant Senior peremptorily could not resist. (Now don’t you say we told you this) but these “zealots,” following their own inclinations, made themselves absentees from school, boarded a freight train and were carried away at the rate of fifteen miles per hour. Our brilliant Senior friend, however, was not so fortunate in his attempt to board the moving train, because of the extra repellent force offered him. Truth- fully, when our dignified brother had extracted himself from the ditch parallel with the track, the train had passed beyond his range of vision. Leaving him, disgusted and wrathful, we will shadow the exulting Juniors now many miles to the eastward. Indeed, they seemed triumphant and exultant because of their freedom and the unexpected (but desired) fate of the upper class man. Onward, through towns and cities, our friends were carried, ever eastward, till the terminal of the division was reached. Here we find them stranded in a large city, friendless, but nevertheless happy. Why should they be otherwise, since this wide, wide world is not a weeping world, but a growing world of pleasure? Pleasure was what they were seeking, and why neglect opportunity to seek it? Perhaps the temperament is chiefly and directly responsible in such cases, if so, the dispositions of the absentees are decidedly not exceptions. “ Any- way, we do not care to know the cause. Absolutely friendless, outside of a jovial spirit, we see them directing their steps down one of the main streets of the city. Then into less prominent streets, all the time enjoying themselves immensely. They were growing fatigued, how- ever, with the waning of the afternoon. There was much to see, truly, too much. But fatigue seemed to revive them from some sort of unconsciousness to serious- ness. They saw, or realized, how easy they, or any one for that matter, could be lost in such a tide of life as they had witnessed. A thought of home actually entered their pleasure-loving souls, and it caused a hasty retreat to the yards, just before sunset. Ah! it seems that fortune favored these individuals. A “through freight,” westward bound, was just leaving the yards, and they arrived in time to catch it. Their homeward ride was chilly, but chillier were the wee hours of morning when they reached home. (The next day at school.) Why did two tired-looking Juniors enter the schoolroom late? We hold it as a rule not to answer a question with such an obvious answer as this. But these “strollers” looked far worse than.tired; they looked conscience- stricken. We could only say why in a skeptical way, so this also we leave to con- jecture. Oh, how many pretenders there are everywhere! Some may give us a con- vincing enough impression that they are professionals and lead us to think so, but ere they travel far over the rough road of experience many are classed as “tenderfeet.” Moral—There is no place like home, nothing like a good school and teachers, and there is no comparison to a decent joy ride “once in a while.” Harry T. GIRARDOT, 713. VirGIL TREESH, 713. CHRONICLES. Now it came to pass, as Alfred sat in the schoolhouse, that Alfred said to Henry, the principal, “Lo, I must teach in this old brick schooihouse, but in the days to come the veil of the future will reveal to us a new building.” Then Henry said unto Alfred, “Do all that is in thy power to get the school board to please our fancy. | And it came to pass the same night that the word of the school board came to Henry, saying “Go and tell Alfred and Zeller and the rest,” thus saith the school board, “thou shalt not be allowed to hold thy positions if thou makest thy demand upon us too heavy.” And they answered, “We must have more room for the inembers of the school. Furthermore we say we must have a new building.” Thus shalt thou say unto Alfred: “Thus sayeth the school board, we have nade thee Superintendent of this school and have been with thee in all «ny troubles and have protected thee from thine enemies and held thee up as an example before men. “Also, we have builded up a school suitable for Waterloo, wherein children shall be enlightened from the beginning. “And since the time we asked you to fill the position of Superintendent, we have tried to subdue your enemies. Furthermore, we expect to build for thee a � réw schoolhouse. “And it shall come to pass when the days of this school term are expired and thou must take up thy abode elsewhere, we will build you anew schoolhouse and will settle thee in this schoolhouse as Superintendent forever; and thy power will be established here for evermore.’ According to all these words and according to all these sayings did Henry ‘peak unto Alfred. Alfred, the Superintendent, came and stood before the school board and said, “Wherefore. O school board, and what have I said or done that thou hast brought me hitherto ? “And yet this was a small affair in thine eyes, O school board, for thou hast alsd spoken of it thus for a great while to come and hast regarded me in the samé mannet. Lae “What can I, Alfred, speak more to thee concerning the need of a new schoolhouse? For thou already knowest the need. “O), school board, for all our sake and according to the Belief of thine heart, hast thou done all that thou thinkest necessary and right? “O, school board, there is no better and no other like thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. “And what city on earth is like the city of Waterloo, blessed with a school board which might make itself great by building for us a new and convenient schoolhouse ? “For the people of Waterloo are all very enthusiastic citizens and are desir- ous of a new schoolhouse. “Therefore, now, school board, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning this new schoolhouse be established forever and as thou hast said. “Let this even be builded that thy name may be glorified forever. “For thou, O school board, hast told Alfred and Henry and Zeller that thou wilt build them a schoolhouse before another year. “And now, school board, thou art supreme and hast promised this goodness unto us all. Now, therefore, let it please you to have it come to pass that ere another year rolls around that we will abide in a new school house; one that, rising up before thee, will be an honor to you, to the town, to the teachers, and to the WV hl VERNA FIsk, ’I5. CUPID NEVER: FAILS. It was the time of the year when the birds were singing their sweetest songs and when the prettiest flowers were in bloom; when the crowing chanticleer, the cackling hen, the squealing pigs and the lowing cattle could be heard in the dis- tance from every farmyard. The fruits were just ripening and every peach, apple and cherry had at least one rosy cheek. It was just after one of those lovely April showers and the green grass and leaves were looking their best. The bright sun was slowly sinking behind the tall pine trees which grow in that sunny land. California. Along the roadside was a young man, probably twenty years of age, slowly walking along with his hands folded behind him and his head bent down. One side of the road was shaded by a woods and purple, yellow and blue violets were seen all over the ground. In fact, hardly a step could be taken without crushing some of the tiny plants to the ground. It was plainly seen that the boy was deep in thought and he seemed to be pleased to be unmolested. Presently he heard from the woods a cry of “Help! Help!” He stopped, raised his head and gazed round in wonderment. What can it be? Where did it come from? “Help! Hurry!” was again heard more distressful than ever. He looked around bewildered and started to run in the direction from which came the cry. He ran about fifty feet and there, to his surprise, ws 1 very beautiful girl, standing with outstretched arms on a stump of an cld tree. At her feet was a small basket of violets. All this he saw in an instant, but could not see what the trouble was, but as he got nearer to her he saw a monster rattlesnake, fully seven feet long, about two feet from her. It lay coiled in the grass, but kept lifting its head higher and higher into the air, with its mouth wide open and running its poison fangs out at her as if it were ready to swallow her if she made any attempt to escape. Luckily, the boy carried his gun with him, thinking that he might possibly see some game. The snake kept its eyes fast on its prey and did not see that its life was soon to come to an end. The girl made a move to get down, but the snake, lowering its head, was just ready to strike at the girl’s face, but the boy raised his gun and in an instant the huge snake fell back on the ground, dead! Then as the boy assisted the girl from the stump their eyes met and “Mildred eee , “Robert Langley,’ came from the other at the same time. As they walked along the road together, she explained to him how she had come to gather a few violets for a sick friend and how, as she went. to pick a bunch from their stems as she saw the dreadful and poisonous reptile coming toward her, how she screamed and at last how she was saved by one whom she had told she hated. A few minutes of silence and he was asked to forgive her, which, of course, he did very readily. And the last heard of the two was that they were quietly and happily living together and instead of Mildred Lee and Robert Langley, is written Mr. and Mrs. Robert Langley. ’ MAupDE ZONKER, 15. THE. SPIN 3’ Shaye; To those who will praise my imagination, rather than call me a liar, this story is lovingly dedicated. CHARLES Coby, Eighth Grade. ] James Morton, otherwise known as “Jim,” glanced at the morning paper. His eye fell upon an advertisement which read as follows: “Wanted—A brave boy.” “T'll just answer it, to satisfy my curiosity.” said Jim. A few days later a letter came which read: “Have your stuff packed and be at the depot April 14 (1g12).”’ At the depot he was met by a boy about his own age who said: “Are you the boy who answered the advertisement?” Jim replied that he was. The boy bought two tickets to New York and they boarded the train. On the way, Jim found that the boy’s name was Frank Colburn and that they were going to Egypt. He would not have gone, but it was too late. In due time they arrived in New York, took passage on a steamer and were off in a few hours. II. A few mornings later Frank called out, “Wake up, pard; we are here.” They gathered up their baggage and went off the boat into the city of Alex- andria. Jim tried to get a view of the city, but could not as his companion hurried him along. They soon arrived at a wharf where a small boat was wait- ing for them. They went down the river Nile for two days and nights, when on the morning of the third day they turned the boat into a small cove, where they met several white men and several Arabs. They were immediately furnished with high power rifles and revolvers. Then going into a tent, prepared for them, Jim was told of a hole found in the Sphinx’s eye and how no one had dared to go into it until Frank, if some one would go with him, but no one had offered to go. III. A rope ladder hung down from one eye of the Sphinx. The two boys climbed the ladder. Jim then tied the rope to a sharp rock, and, finding it safe, they climbed down on the inside. By the light of their flash lights they saw they were in a small room, about three feet square, with no floor except the nar- row ledge their feet were on. Jim slid down through the hole until he struck a slanting floor. Frank soon followed, when all at once the rope and ladder came down on their heads. Flashing their lights around they saw they were in a larger room with three doors. On the ceiling was a sword suspended pointing to a door marked X, while a mummified arm pointed to each of the other doors, marked Y and Z. Looking down doors marked Y and Z, they saw nothing but darkness and heard a rumbling noise. On the sill of each door stood a post with a fork on top and a pulley in the fork. Nearby was a bucket. Tying a rope to the bucket they let it down over the pulley, about thirty feet, when it struck water, so they pulled up the bucket. The water was very cold, and, as they were very thirsty, they drank a lot of it. Then they opened the door marked X. What they saw made their eyes bulge out. Each with a yell dashed for it, when, with a crash, both were knocked senseless. When they became conscious each had a very sore head and more prudence. LV: The sunlight was streaming in through several crevices and looking ahead they saw a cube of purest glass, about ten feet square. In the center was a dia- mond of first water, about three inches in diameter in the center and eight inches long. On each side of the cube was what looked like a fountain, but had a peculiar odor. Touching a lighted match to it, it flared up and burned with a brilliant light. They lighted the other torch and by the light saw they were in a room about thirty feet wide and three hundred feet long. All along each side were torches and between each was a chair. Going around on the other side, they saw there were steps leading up to the throne on top of the cube. At the foot of the throne were four crowns, inlaid with diamonds and made of gold. On the seat of the throne was another crown, finer than any of the others and having the finest diamonds in it. Going down the long hall, they lighted all the two hundred torches so that the room was flooded with light. At one was a large pile of dark colored cubes. Feeling over one, Frank pressed a secret button and a lid flew open, exposing the contents, which proved to be canned dates. Tasting them they found them very good. “Well, we’ve got plenty of provision,” said Jim. Going back to the cube, they tried to find a way to get the diamonds out. On the wall was an arrow, carved out of ivory. Feeling around on the wall where it pointed, they tried to press some secret button, but could not find any. Then Jim said: ‘The Egyptians are just the opposite from us in their ways, so the arrow comes from the button instead of to it.””. Feeling around behind the arrow they soon found a small push-button. Pressing it, they saw the cube part in the middle and stepping in between the pieces, Frank secured the great dia- mond. Then they secured the crowns also, ‘then they discovered beside the wall a large chest full of manuscripts which they bound up in a bundle. Going down to the other end, they ate a hearty meal of the dates. As they pulled back a few more cubes the sunlight streamed in, and looking out they saw their camp. Frank brought the rope ladder, made it fast and they hurried down. In camp they had been mourned as dead. VI. The passage to London was brief and uneventful. They were lucky enough to obtain passage on the new ship, “Titanic.””’ One evening they took up their satchels and went to the prow of the boat. Suddenly it felt as if they had been thrust into a refrigerator and a large object loomed up directly in front of them. There was a crash and they were hurled forward, striking something hard. When | they became consicous they found they had both landed in a small pocket in the iceberg. The next day a ship passing by saw their signal of distress and took them on board. They soon arrived in New York, where they sold their jewels and manuscripts at a high price. JOKES. Anything found in these pages isa joke, whether there is a point to it or not.—Editor.

AUDREY VOGTMAN. AN EIGHTH GRADE BOY’S DREAM OF WHAT HE WOULD DO IF SOME ONE SHOULD GIVE HIM $5,000. The first thing I did was to faint. The next, when I came to, was to yell so loud that the people thought I was insane and they gave me a padded cell. It only cost three hundred for me to get out. Then for another three hundred I bribed Supt. Moudy not to have any Eighth Grade Commencement. Then I got a buzz wagon. I fell dearly in love with a beautiful girl and she was dearly in love with—my money I had one rival. We settled it this way: She said the one who killed the most in fifty dashes with our buzz wagons she would accept. I bagged twenty people, thirty dogs and countless chickens. My rival only bagged twenty dogs and nineteen people. Well, we got married; she got the rest of my money and eloped with my rival. Thus ends my big blowout and showdown; thus did I sow my wild oats.

He had a stylish, jaunty air, And he was richly clad ; His eyes were brown, and very fair, His beauty made me glad. Classmates and chums, my Senior boy; How many may you be?” How many? Seven in all,” he said And winking, looked at me. “And where are they? I pray you tell.” He answered, “Seven are we; And one at Corunna dwells And three in the fair countree.” “You say that one at Corunna dwells, And three in the fair countree; Yet you are seven !—I pray you tell, Senior, boy, how may this be.” Then did the Senior boy reply, Seven chummy boys are we}; Three of us in the city live, And three in the fair countree.” “How many are you then?” said I, “Tf two had gone in 11” Quick was the Senior boy’s reply, “Oh, Professor, we are seven.” HazEL DANIELS, ’14, TRI STATE COLLEGES, Angola, Ind.

There being seven. First the President, Planning and plotting to keep us from harm. Then Mr. Fretz, generally late, with golden hair And shining morning face, creeping like a snail Unwillingly to school. And then Charles Thomas, Sighing like a furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress eyebrow. And then Glen O. Full of strange oaths and bearded like a pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation, [even in the cannon’s mouth. And then Clifton, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances ; And so he plays his part. James is the sixth, With his lean and slipper’d pantaloon, His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big, manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. I’m the last of all That ends this strange, eventful class ; Sans sense, sans taste, sans fame, sans everything. RusseELL M. CONSOLATION FOR THE SENIORS. Soon shall you depart From this old school so dear; It may send a throb to the heart, It may cost a sigh, a tear. Tho’ happy were your High School days, There’s a great work to do; Tho’ you go your separate ways, To the High School spirit you will be true. And you, schoolmates, remaining Here still, do not begin, Of your lessons to be complaining ; Stick to them, you will win. We part, but not forever, We'll meet again above ; For naught but death can sever Our friendship bound by love. VirGiIL TREESH, 713. CALENDAR. SEPTEMBER. Mon., 11.—School opens.

Rutenber Motor. 34-inch Wheels. Goodrich Tires. Nickel Trimmings. No Manufacturer Ever Put Out as Magnificent Value as This Auburn “30” Judge Values by Comparing Values—that’s the quickest way to tell whether or not the car will ‘‘stand up’’ under the claims that, are made for it by its seller. We’ll admit we’re as desirous of selling cars as any one, but we know that some- thing more than mere trade-phrases are necessary to sell cars and make them give the kind of service the owner expects of his car. So we say: Run this BIG AUBURN ‘‘THIRTY”’ alongside of any car listed at about the same price. Look the two over, notice how much Stronger, Bigger and Better the ““AUBURN’”’ looks—and is! See how much Heavier the Construction is. Still it’s not too heavy to cause added tire expense—nor too light to ‘‘fall to pieces,’’ as is frequently the case with cheaply built, light-weight cars on the market today. And, you are not asked to pay $1,500 or $1,800 for this AUBURN “‘30” just because some man with ‘‘Name’”’ built it—for, what’s in a name anyway if the quality is not there to back up that name?
