i Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen Being the Seventh Annual Published by the Waterloo High School 4 THE ROSEBUD To MR. ZELLAR A. WILLENNAR Who has given us much of his time and talent in the perfecting of this Annual, and whom we all hold in respect and esteem as a teacher and friend, we dedi- cate this seventh volume of The Rosebud. r i THE ROSEBUD 5 FOREWORD You have before you the seventh annual published by the Senior Class of the Waterloo High School. We have done our best to make this volume one worth reading and one that is typical of our own school. Whatever success we may have achieved in preparing this annual has been because of the loyal support of the students of the High School, the helpful advice of the Faculty, and the financial sup- port of the business men of Waterloo and vicinity, without which this publication would have been impossible. We could not tell everything concerning our school life in these few pages, but have aimed to present, in a vivid, interesting way, some of the many incidents of our school life and the things that the Water- loo High School is doing for its students. We hope it may be an incentive to the common school graduates to take the High School Course. To those who read this book, we hope it gives you sincere pleas- ure and joy. THE ROSEBUD STAFF.

Ability to understand the printed page and power to express one’s thoughts in correct language are necessary in order to succeed in other studies. Literature appeals to the imagination and the emotions, and stimulates mental activity. One who is familiar with the thoughts and ideals expressed in English Litera- ture will get more out of life than one who is not. The four years’ course in English is arranged as follows: First year, review of Grammar and Elements of Rhetoric; Second year, continue Rhetoric, with frequent exercises in oral and written composition; Third year, History of American Literature; Fourth year. History of English Literature. We learn to appreciate literature not so much by reading about literature as by reading the literature itself; to this end a carefully selected list of classics is provided for each class. Frequent themes train the students in writing correct language. Memorizing choice gems of thought from the masters of literature forms an- other phase of the work. Each student is required to give a review of some selected book. An effort is made to correlate English with other subjects, especially History, because it has influenced Literature to a great extent. Exercises in Current Events, besides training students in oral composition, lead toward the reading and studying of the history that is being made daily. HISTORY History has two chief purposes—first, it promotes culture, and second, it has a practical value in teaching the progress and mistakes of the past as a guide to the future. Never was a knowledge of history so essential to the average citizen as it is today. No one can thoroughly understand the present European struggle without a knowledge of the history of Europe in the nineteenth century. No one can thoroughly understand the statement of President Wilson, when he says: “The world must be made safe for democ- racy,” without a knowledge of the struggle of civilized man for freedom thru the past centuries brought to us thru the pages of history. Our course of study follows closely the outline planned by the State Board of Education. In the Sophomore year tin pupil begins tin study of Ancient History by a study of the most ancient nations leading to about 800 A. D., with special emphasis on Greek and Roman History. The Mediaeval and Modern European periods are studied in tin Junior year. The work covers thoroughly the growth and spread of Christianity, the origin of our institutions of government, the development of tin modern nations and the growth of democracy thruout the world. The Seniors study American History in the first half of the year and Civics the last half. The effort is made to give the student a comprehensive view of our great nation and government and a devotion to the nation’s ideals. 14 THE ROSEBUD FOREIGN LANGUAGE There are many advantages to be gained from studying a foreign lan- guage: as the principles of grammar are essentially the same in all languages, the study of Latin or German in High School serves to familiarize the student with English grammar. The vocabulary of tin average Freshman is naturally limited, and nothing serves to broaden it and furnish a supply of synonyms as well as the study of another language. At least sixty per cent of the words in the English language are derived from Latin: this alone would justify studying Latin in High Schools. Since French, Spanish and Italian are but modernized forms of Latin, the High School Latin furnishes a foundation for the study of any or all of these. The terms used by professional men— doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, etc., are in great part Latin. Much information of historical interest is learned from translating the writings of the ancient Romans. The greatest benefit, however, is that it teaches pupils to think. One cannot t: an date correctly without think- ing of case, number, tense, voice, etc. When a vocabulary gives several English equivalents of one Latin verb, the student must choose the one best adapted to the sentence—thus the judgment is trained. The first year’s work in either language consists of memorizing the de- clensions and conjugations, acquiring a vocabulary, and translating simple exercises. During the second year Caesar's Gallic War is translated. The great resemblance between Ariovistus and his descendant. Wilhelm II. has made “The War With Ariovistus” especially interesting this year. Exercises in Prose Composition once each week train the student to translate English into Latin. As only a few desired to study Cicero's Orations this year, that course was omitted. The study of German is not being emphasized this year, and will not be offered next year, but it was thought best to allow those who had begun it last year to have an opportunity to complete their language requirement in that language. MATHEMATICS One and one-half years are given to Algebra. The purpose in view is cor- rectness of thinking and accuracy in action. Mathematics teaches one to be exact, not part of the time and only in some places, but all the time in all places. If the pupil is preparing for higher education, Algebra is required as a basis for more advanced work. If he goes into business the training will lead him to be more exact and clear in his everv-day thinking. Geometry is offered in the last half of the Sophomore year and during the Junior year, the work including five books of Plane and three of Solid. The study of Geometry is such that it will lead the student to recognize and com- prehend mathematical construction of various objects round about him. The work with lines, angles, polygons, etc., in Plane Geometry, and planes, cubes, spheres, prisms, etc., in Solids, give concrete problems in Mensuration, while THE ROSEBUD 15 at the same time it is preparing for work in engineering, surveying, and leads into the field of applied Mathematics. One-half of the Senior year is given to Commercial Arithmetic, involving reviews and drills of the practical problems in Arithmetic that are met in every-day life. The main subjects treated are fundamental operations, deci- mals, fractions, mensuration, percentage, interest, discount, partial payments, gain and loss, notes, papers, etc. SCIENCE Physics is tin science of natural phenomena and laws governing them. The work of the first semester is in Mechanics and Ileat and that of the second is in Magnetism. Electricity and Light. So far as possible the work is made practical. The laboratory is fairly well equipped with apparatus for individual and class experiments. Agriculture. “The basis of all American life and progress is the American farm. Pack to the soil is the cry. The purpose of this course is not to turn out in one year boys and girls with expert knowledge of how a farm should be carried on. It is rather to create an interest in the vital subject, which interest will lead to more attention to farm possibilities. The work covers in general: Plants and Plant Propagation. Tests for Germination, IIow to Increase the Yield. Soils, Various Farm Oops. Farm Animals, Horses, Sheep, Cattle, Hogs, Poultry. Plans of Buildings. The library is supplied with a large number of Farmers’ Bulletins and Reports which are used as supplemental work. Botany offers interesting subject matter to fulfill the science requirement. It is more than the science of plants for in it we study not only the structure of the different parts of the plants, the four great groups of plants and their various methods of accomplishing their two functions in life—getting a living and reproduction—but also how they adapt themselves to environment, distri- bution, elementary plant breeding and forestry, and their relation to the in- dustries. Practically every industry depends, directly or indirectly, upon plants, hence the importance of studying them. They offer great range in size and complexity, from the Giant Redwoods of California down to bacteria, which average one twenty-five thousandeth of an inch in diameter. It was Emerson who said: “The microscope cannot find the object in Nature which is less perfect for being little.' The truth of this becomes evident when we study algae, fungi and other microscopic plants, which one unfamiliar with botany would overlook entirely. The students become more observing of Nature and more appreciative of her beauties. Last fall the class made a study of trees and each student collected and mounted leaves of twenty species. A collection of common weeds was made also. In spring each student made a herbarium of fifteen spring flowers with detailed description and drawings of each plant. Several experiments were made to illustrate scientific principles. Frequent field trips brought the stu- dents into actual contact with Nature and made the work more attractive as well as more profitable. 16 THE ROSEBUD MANUAL TRAINING No great amount of Shop Work was done by the High School boys this year as tlie students have already done much more than the required amount of this kind of work. The Grade boys gave one period a week to the work. The work was largely elementary, care and us� of tools, squaring stock, planing, ripping, laying out problems, etc. A small table with checkerboard top was made by each student that applied all the various problems of squaring, mitering, gluing, mortise and tenon making, and finishing. COMMERCIAL LAW A new subject introduced this year which is proving to be a decided suc- cess is Commercial Law. The students feel that it is work that is of direct benefit to them as it brings them in touch with some of tin common phases of every-day business life. The work is given in one semester and covers the subjects of Contracts, Agency, Negotiable Papers, Sales and Transfer of Property. Insurance, Part- nership and Corporations. DOMESTIC SCIENCE Every woman should know something about the science of cooking and the art of sewing. Many girls do not have the advantage of learning much of these subjects at home, so because of their importance, they have been given a place in the life of the school. One of the objects in introducing cooking and sewing in the public schools is to stimulate in the lives of our girls an interest for home-making. This year, more so than ever, our girls have had a chance to become acquainted with the problems of the home. In our cooking we have tried to follow the food conservation plans of Mr. Hoover, tin food administrator, in which he asks us to use foods which heretofore were not used extensively in our diet. And many of the recipes we found very satisfactory, especially the cereal dishes, and also tin war breads, in which we used corn-meal, oat-meal, rye, barley, graham and whole wheat flours. The substitute foods must be used in the diet at tin present time and our girls have learned how to cook many of these foods, so without doubt this fund of knowledge, small as it may be, helps our mothers with their food problems. Among useful things in the line of sewing, our girls have made simple garments for the poor and wearing apparel for themselves. They have also learned the old-fashioned art of knitting and have devoted much of their time to knitting for the Red Cross. MALE AND BRASS QUARTET MUSIC THE ROSEBUD 19 MUSIC AND ART Music Music is tin universal language. It is tin natural expression of the heart. The high school music sc ks to develop tin pupils’ power of expression, to in- crease his power to underetand, to enjoy, and cultivate a taste for that music which leads to real cultu.c and nobler thoughts. Opportunity is given in the chorus work to learn some of the best standard songs. The pupil through history work becomes acquainted with some of the leading composers, whose compositions lie may learn and enjoy by use of tin Victrola. A class in Elements of Music is open to those who do not have the technical foundation necessary to tin highest enjoyment and understanding of the art. At Christmas time a program was given by tin High School, making use of a general chorus by a cantata, as well as individual numbers given by those most talented. In April a musical play, Miss Cherry Blossom, was given by the High School chorus. This only proves what can be accomplished in a musical way in High School bv real work and proper interest. MISS (ilNEVRA BIXLKR. Art Art is not a thing to be done, but tin best way of doing whatever needs to be done. It is a vital part of our every-day life. With this idea in mind, our High School Art aims to develop the power of observation, seeing the things most important and beautiful. Ve want our Ait to express truth and beauty in its broadest sense. The High School course offers work in water-color, pastel, pen and ink, and oil. It is our desire to ereate a better understanding and a real apprecia- tion of all that is beautiful, hoping at the same time to make the Art work prctical for the common everyday life. MISS (MXKYRA BIXLKR, THE LIBRARY The W. II. S. Library contains about eight hundred volumes. Nearly five hundred forty of these are reference books; those remaining are fiction. It is classified according to the Dewey Decimal System. Mr. Hall has charge of tin arranging of the books. The library meets all the requirements of the Public Library Commission of Indiana. The Waterloo Public Library is also open to High School students.

He has been one of the foremost of the class in High School. Lynn is one of the two charter members, having com- pleted twelve years’ work in tin Water- loo schools, lie is also interested in music, having been a member of the orchestra and quartette. Me expects to attend school this summer. JACK MOORE ”1 pray thee, pretty youth, let me be better acquainted with thee.' Jack, probably the jolliest of the Seniors, began life near Moore, five and one-half miles southeast of Waterloo. During the past four years he has taken part in all the activities of school life, lie is contain of the basketball team. He has business principles and conscien- tiously aims to do his duty in whatever he undertakes. According to his pres- ent plans we can picture him sitting behind a schoolroom desk and many eager faces turned toward him as he leads them on in acquiring the myste- ries of an education. t THE ROSEBUD 23 HAZEL EDWARDS “Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt, Nothing’s so hard but search will find it out.” Hazel “Nut,” a jolly member ol' the Senior Class, began life at Butler, Ind. When she entered high school it was with a determinniotn to make the most of her opportunities. She also likes to get as much fun out of life as possible. She has surely fulfilled both ambitions. Besides being a faithful scholar and schoolmate, she likes athletics and is a guard on the girls’ basketball team. FRANK FORREST ••f have set my life upon a cast, and will stand the hazard of the die.’’ Frank, one of the best all-around members of the Senior ('lass, was reared on a farm three miles south of Ashley, Ind.

She attended the district school north of Waterloo until her grad- uation. She then entered the W.H.S. and although we have several times been in great fear of losing her, she has stayed with us thru thick and thin. She has been a jolly companion and classmate to the Class of ’18. She also expects to be a pedagogue. JOE MISER “He was a man of an unbounded stomach. ’ ’ “Fat” is one of the fun-loving mem- bers of the Senior Class. He began his career on a farm near Waterloo. He, with Lynn, has completed twelve years’ continuous work in the Waterloo schools. This last year he has come from Corunna, either by the “Corunna Special” or by Ford to acquire knowl- edge in the W.H.S. The two occupa- tions which Joe delights most in are eating and playing the cornet. His polite, business like manner makes him respected by all.

HELEN MANROE “A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and com- mand. ’ ’ Helen, the Salutatorian of the Class of '1S, hails from a farm south of Co- runna. She has been with us during the past four years of high school work. Here she has set an example for good work in school and in literary society, as president. She has farther to come than any of the class and patiently waits for No. 23 every night to take her home. 26 THE ROSEBUD DARREL SMITH “He hath indeed bettered expect- ation. ’ ’ “Tator began his career near But- ler, Ind. He has lived in Waterloo «lur- ing most of his school life. His ready wit and humor have made him a favor- ite with pupils and teachers. Although he left school for several months in his Junior year, he saw the value of acquiring a full high school education and re-entered with a determination to succeed. In this he has been successful. WILMA THOMAS “Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low; An excellent thing in woman.” ••Tommy,” a jolly member of our Senior Class, conies from Corunna. She has proven herself a faithful student and loyal classmate in school. She has held class and society office. Music and basketball are two of her favorite pastimes. Her voice has “charms to soothe the savage beast’ and her art work is especially commendable.

For four years I have watched the pres- ent Senior Class of the W. BL S. develop. I’ll tell you how I became acquainted with them. In September. 1914. while in Waterloo. I accidentally met the Freshman Class on its way to school. They were such bright and healthy- looking boys and girls that I became very much interested in them and have continued to follow them in their high school career. So the other evening when I was asked to write a paper for the Club. I used them for my subject. Tin Class of 'l'' originated in the assembly room of the High School of the town of Waterloo. Indiana. These Freshmen, being an unusually bright and healthy group, escaped the minor ills of childhood, such as mumps, measles, etc., and were only affected by the things really worth while. For. as may be judged from its origin, the ('lass of '1 received its education in the W. H. S. and in its first year won many laurels, not only in scholarship, but in social affairs as well. As it grew older, many happy times were enjoyed by this class, especially in its second year. Xew honors were gained and fresh battles won. But in the latter part of this year, the class was saddened by the death of one of its best beloved members. Still time rolled on. and the Class of Is continued to prosper. Habits formed in early life are rarely broken. This proved to be true of this class, for it became renowned not only for its ability to do good honest work in the school room, but also for its ability to have a jolly good time outside of the school room. Life seemed very pleasant to this class until there came the death of another of its members. Saddened but not disheartened, the class went on with the work that usually falls to the lot of the graduating class, besides keep- ing and adding to the honors it had gained in the High School course. —HELEN MANROE, 18. 30 THE ROSEBUD SENIOR CLASS POEM On the ninth of September, when the air was chill. Thirty-one Freshmen entered all with good will; At first we were backward, but still we were smart. Before that year ended, we had a good start. On the sixth of September, the following year. There were twenty-one Sophies, for the Seniors to cheer; But we who were brave, and full of pluck, Laughed at their sneers, and to our High School stuck. It was in the fall of the year sixteen That fifteen Juniors in the Assembly were seen; Of course we labored, for it was hard for us, But we used our old motto—“sticktoitiveness.” And then we were Seniors with ten in our class. Just like “Fords”—hard to pass; And now we are through with our High School days. We 11 win our fame in brave, upright ways. As we leave, we are humble and filled with joy. There are four sweet girls, and six nice boys; And now we enter on the plains of life. First for a fortune and then for a wife. FRANK FORREST, '18.

Moody's teachings—we are very military. We have fought three years of civil war. the ammunition being chiefly B. B. shot, paper wads, and erasers. We have always been good soldiers because we obey the commands of our teachers almost before they are spoken. Our class has sent a member, Corporal Hubert Fee, to Camp Shelby to repre- sent us in the U. S. Army. Like all great armies, we are made up of a great variety of people; we have experts, expert Latin students, Geometry, Domestic Science and Botany students. Furthermore, we have talent; we are represented by officers in both literary societies, in the W. II. S. quartet and both boys’ and girls' basket ball teams. At present our regiment contains only seventeen members, of the thirty- seven that enlisted in the Freshman class. Nevertheless, we are still in the ranks and winning medals of honor.

Two of our members discontinued their school work, leaving an enrollment of twenty-two. We began our Sophomore year with sixteen pupils. Later Wilma Clark joined us.

This society has given four literary programs this year. It has the usual officers, who are elected by the members. The society usually chooses one of the Faculty as critic. Its aim has been to develop and train the members in a musical, dra- matic, literary and social way. Visitors and patrons show keen interest and delight in the excellent talents of its members, which are displayed in the rendering of its programs. A pleasant and keen rivalry exists between the two societies—the Zedas and the Cices, which spurs each on to excel the other.

By the earnest endeavor of the students it came to hold an important place in the school work. The programs which were given every six weeks were something to look for- ward to and the students found High School life more interesting because of the variety afforded by the society. Some say that the society has reached its zenith; this may or may not be true, but if it is, the present members can at least do their best to keep the standard of the society in the high place set for it by former members. INAUGURAL ADDRESS Members of the Ciceronian Literary Society, Faculty, Schoolmates and Friends: Upon this occasion 1 wish to thank tin members of the Ciceronian Literary Society for this office. It has been the custom of other presidents to make speeches on co- operation. but I think it is unnecessary because 1 am sure that each and every member will give his loyal support and will not only keep the Society up to its standard, but still go further by making this the most successful semester of all semesters for the grand old Ciceronian Literary Society.

Kentucky, lived Morten Campbell, a man of millions, lie. like other men of wealth, had started at the bottom of his profession and by working hard, had gained his present position as owner of numerous lumber camps. Campbell, in his early life, had been a mountain lumberman, and while in the Cumberlands had married a typical mountain girl. He and his bride lived in a small cottage near the lumber camps. But in a few years, Campbell wearied of the responsibility of his wife and young son. and when one day. upon returning from a trip to the mills down the stream, he found his wife stricken with malaria fever, being more or less an ignorant mountaineer, he refused to call a doctor, but instead, abused her for not having his supper ready. That night, while he slept, his wife was relieved of her troubles and worries by Death. Campbell, awakening in the morning and finding his wife dead, hurriedly dressed, and long before the sun was up he was rafting his way down the river, leaving his only child to perish from hunger. About two years later he married a charming young heiress, whom he loved very much, lie bought a large tract of Virginia forest land and by good management increased his worldly fortune. But soon after the birili of his second son. his young wife died. Again he was a widower, and with his wife's death he lost his great ambition for wealth. So. taking his little son in his arms, he resolved to make him a gentleman, and also to find his other son. whom he had so long neglected. Eighteen years later, in the fine new High School building that stood on the campus, there were hurrying to and fro tin thirty Seniors who in a month's time were to graduate. On this particular day they were eagerly waiting to hear the Faculty 's report announcing which of their classmates would be the Valedictorian. Ralph Campbell, the millionaire's son. was a handsome young man of good qualities but he had gained his exceedingly high grades through bluffing and by getting the ideas and papers of his fellow-students, in his congenial sort of way. From one person especially did lie r ceive welcome assistance. That was from the most studious member of the class. Frank O'Connor. Frank came from the Cumberland Mountains, clad in threadbare homespun clothes. Frank possessed a charming, honest personality and in his inconspicuous way was as good to look at as was the popular Ralph Campbell. The boys, both of the best THE ROSEBUD 53 of habits, were friends with but one hindrance—they were both admirers of the same girl, the pretty Ruth Raymond, the only child of Judge Raymond. Ruth was loved by all who knew her for sin was impulsive, g; nerous and kind- hearted to everyone. Ih r dcepc ; sympathy was always given to Frank O’Connor and he often walked to her honn where he enjoyed many luxuries that were not possessed by the dingy oh! boarding house where he lived while attending school, lie often pave 1 h � r 1; ' ■ c rtedes which h did not know were mute expressions of his love for 1 r. Ralph Campbell also went o: • ■ ’ :;:a!ly to .1 • homo of Judge Raymond, and very often in the evenings aid h • een driving with Ruth through the village, or walking over the campus. Someti nes Fran!: O’Connor accompanied them and at these times both boys showed a small sign of rivalry. This greatly embarrassed Ruth for she had soon fcund t’ . she did not know which one she admired more, but she did know that her father wa; determined that she marry a man of rank and money, and Frank O'Connor had neither. At the final decision of the Faculty. Frank O'Connor was awarded the honor of being Valedictorian, with Ralph Campbell as Sail Mtorian. At first Ralph was jealous, but being wise enou ’i not to show it. he congratulated Frank, who had worked hard for tin honor. Frank now concentrated his whole efforts upon his address and only one night had he the opportunity of meeting Ruth. That was on the campus, and there, with much stammering, he told her of his love and begged her to wait for him until he could do something which would prove himself worthy of her. After his sincere avowal of love, Ruth told him she would give him his answer on graduation evening. The evening before the graduation exercises. Ralph Campbell, having Ins address completed, walked over to Judge Raymond's to see Ruth. When sitting upon the large veranda he told her how he loved her and asked her to become his wife. She smiled and said: “Ralph, you and I have been friends for years and my answer should be prompt, but this time you must wait for me; I will give you your answer tomorrow night. Ruth was never so perplexed in all her life. Two young men whom sin respected very much had asked her for her hand, and she must answer each of them on the same evening. What should she do.' Once more the sun had risen and sunk over Olive Hill and nearly the entire population were flocking into the auditorium to hear the graduation program, for it was the largest class that had ever left the school. Judge Raymond and Morten Campbell sat side by side a few seats from the front. Roth were proud fathers of two of the town’s most popular young people. At eight o’clock the class entered with Frank O’Connor at the head. lie was exceedingly handsome in the new suit which had caused him so much sacrifice, and many whispers were heard asking who he was. Ralph Campbell's opening address was skillfully prepared and given with eloquence. Everyone admired him for what he was. Frank O'Connor closed the program with a frank, inspiring talk, and murmurs of approval were heard from the vast audience. After the diplomas were presented and the crowd had begun to disperse, Morten Campbell came to Frank to offer him a position, if he would accept. 54 THE ROSEBUD As he shook the hand of Frank he noticed a ring which Frank wore. “Where did you get that ring, my boy? ’ asked Mr. Campbell. “It is one my mother had; it was her wedding ring, so my grandfather said.” replied Frank. “.Joe O’Connor!” gasped Campbell. “Is he your grandfather?” “Yes. sir, and 1 have lived with him since my mother’s death.” “Where is your father? asked Ralph, who was now full of wonderment. “Ralph, I have never told you that you had a brother,” gasped Morten Campbell, “but, thank Heaven, we have found him at last. Frank, I am your neglectful father.” “You my father!” exclaimed Frank in amazement. “Yes, yes,” replied Campbell. “And you. Ralph, are my brother?” again spoke Frank. By this time everyone else had left the room and when the boys walked down the isle hand in hand, who should they meet but Ruth. Each was eager for his answer. As she approached she had a stern look on her face. Frank and Ralph told her of their relationship. Ruth, so full of joy, burst into tears. Your answer, boys, “the hand of fate could alone decide.” Which one did she choose ? HELEN EBERLY, 'll). NEEDS OF WATERLOO If we, by chance, should look over the history of Waterloo, we would find that about fifty years ago Waterloo was a busy town. It had the respect of the neighboring towns and the patronage of the country people for miles around. But then, just like every other great thing, it had a period of decline. Now it is gradually rising again. I will try to explain a few needs, which, if provided, would in all probability bring Waterloo to a higher standard. We have a certain class of people in this town that may be termed “live wires.” Again we have another class that is just the opposite. The hustlers are so handicapped by the others that they have be?n powerless to do good. So we should convert the kickers to see what is really necessary for the up- bvi'ding of the community; or, if that is impossible, go ahead without them. As soon as they see that conditions are improving, they will come over to our side. Now, if the people would lease some ground in or near Waterloo to some men with financial backing who would establish a couple of factories, it would make old Waterloo boom. It would increase the population and bring more patronage to the home merchants. Along with labor we should have some pleasure. Why not b y a piece of ground and make it into a beautiful, up-to-date park; a place where the laborer can seek rest and quiet on a Sunday—a p.ace where he with his wile and children can go and enjoy a band concert? Now we must look out for the children. Men and women should be allied as citizens while they are yet children. Isn’t a Y. M. C. A. and a Y. . C. A. capable of doing this? Anyone who has been through one of these institutions THE ROSEBUD 55 and understands its teachings will say that it will. It lifts the morals of the youth, keeps them out of mischief, and puts them on a higher plane of civili- zation. Again, if a town wishes to In live and enthusiastic, it must in every case be musical. That is, it should have a brass band, orchestras in the Sunday Schools, and a music society. To accomplish this, the town should hire a capable musical director and teacher, who would soon have a musical interest going. If the town is unable to hire a director, enough money could be raised by popular subscription. In a short time these organizations would be self- supporting. A town without music has a tendency to be dull and uninteresting. Another great necessity for Waterloo is a new school building. It is thoroughly understood that it takes an education “to do things” at the present time. Children are required, and later urged, to go to school, so why can t they be blessed with good surroundings and tilings with which to work.' We all know this urgent need—why go further? To improve the town, paved streets would help. It would make the town cleaner and improve the sanitary conditions. Of course, there are many others, too numerous to mention. To supply all the necessities of a community or city would be like trying to invent a per- petual motion machine—impossible. —LESTER LOWMAN ,18. THE GHOST OF HENDEL’S CORNER It was generally admitted that the little old house on Hendel's corner was haunted. It had been empty for ten years and all the folks in the country around said that in the middle of the night strange lights were seen and weird voices came from the house. The children of the vicinity and, in fact, many of the older folk would go very much out of their way to avoid passing the haunted house after nine or ten o’clock. One afternoon in December a young man and his sister stopped at the home of Deacon Hathaway and asked where Mr. Ilenry Ilendel lived. The deacon was very much surprised because Mr. Ilendel was the last man to live in the house on the corner and since his death the house had been given up to ghosts. He told the young people all this and they seemed very much surprised that Mr. Ilendel was no longer living and they told their simple story in this way. They were Henry blenders grandchildren. Their mother had been Mr. Mendel's only child and her mother and father had idolized her until Charles Burton had come to the neighborhood and Elsie Ilendel had eloped with him. Mr. Ilendel, being a very striet man, at once disowned his daughter and at her death she had told her son and daughter to go to her father with a mes- sage from her begging his forgiveness, and they had immediately started on their mission. Deacon Hathaway, out of friendship for the late Mr. Ilendel, offered them shelter but they wished to know the way to the old house, where they said 56 THE ROSEBUD llu'y would wait until time for tin returning train at 12:30 the next day. Upon being told that the house was haunted, the girl shivered and wished to accept the deacon's offer, but her brother laughed at her fears and said he was not afraid to spend one night in a place where his mother spent twenty years, so they started for the haunted house. Upon entering the house, they found it very much as Mr. Hendel had left it. and having procured a few groceries which they would need until the next day from the deacon's, they went to work to prepare supper. After this meal they sat down to wait until bedtime and discussed the life their mother must have led in tin house which the country folk feared. About nine o’clock they decided to explore the old house and find the best place to sleep. Upon going upstairs they found several queer looking objects which they had never before seen, and upon further exploration found several old kettles and also small cavities for fires made by small iron vessels placed deep in the floor. “Something of grandfather’s. I suppose,” said the boy. indifferently. “Yes, I suppose so. a lswered the girl, “but I'd like to know what they're for. Say. don't you think we had better go down? It might be time for the ghosts.” “Oh. Ruth! There', an old trunk. exclaimed the boy, interestedly. “Let's see what's in it. And the two set to work looking through the old trunk. They found several piece , of fine old silk and lace, and down in the bottom was a box. Ruth lifted it out carefully and, opening it. found a neck- lace. ear-rings, and a bracelet all set with magnificent rubies. “Why, Ralph Burton, she exclaimed, “this must be that set of grand- mother's that mother told us about. Well, at any rate, we’ll put them back and see if there's anything else of importance.” “Here's a bunch of old papers, letters and such things. Perhaps we’ll find some of mother's letters. Here's a long envelope. Sis. and—why. Sis, it's Grandfather's will. ‘Last Will and Testament of Henry Wesly Hendel!’ Let's read it. Why, Ruth, he willed all his property to mother, so it’s all ours. All ours! Then those beautiful rubies are ours. Now, let's go downstairs and talk it over.” As they reached the foot of the stairway, a squeaking, grating sound came from upstairs, reminding them of the ghosts. They tiptoed over to the fire- place and seated themselves noiselessly, determined not to leave until the ghosts had appeared. After a while a light appeared in the siaivwav and. upon going upstairs. Ruth and Ralph found a small man, who grinned at them in a far from ghostlike way. “ Wal,” he drawled in a resigned way, “ I'm caught at it at last. I've been makin’ medicine by night an gatherin’ herbs by day fer a long time an the folks ’round here tuk it fer granted thet I wuz a ghost an I alnt let ’em find out no different. I heard ye mulin' the old man's will up there so I reckon I'll hev to git out an’ won’t bother ye any more. I lowed ye'd come along some day but thot I'd borrer ver house fer a while.' And with that he went to stir his medicine. “Well, well,” said Ralph, thoughtfully. “So this is the ghost that.all Hendel s corner has avoided for ten years. The next day the little medicine man left Ruth and Ralph alone in the THE ROSEBUD 57 house, which they lived in for a long time—so long, in fact, that folks have almost forgotten the queer lights and noises that came from tin house on IIendels corner. AXONA BENSING, ’20. YUKON, THE LAND WITH A SUMMER CHARM I or countless ages all people have looked upon the North as a cold and barren land, the home of the iceberg and storm. In the past few years it has been given to a favored few to lean that it is a land of beauty, of sunny days and clear skies, of foaming waters, and green, dome-shaped hills, of high cliffs and rugged granite peaks, snow-crowned for all time to come. Old, yet seem- ing to ever change and be always new, i- is a land that charms and holds those who come; sometimes they go, but onl : return again, for those who look upon the land love it for evermore. This vast inland empire is known to the people of the North as the Yukon, and it is the watershed of the riv r of that name. The Indians call it Yu-kon-ah, meaning “mighty water.” Its length is more than two thousand miles, and it drains an area of more than half a million square miles, and discharges more water into the sea than the Mississippi or the Ama • .. It is seventy miles wide at its mouth and at its source at tin summit of White Pass, a child can step across it. Large steamers navigate this river for ei !. . e.i hundred miles, and if one stands on the bank, one hundred miles from : mr. ,h, he cannot see the other bank. European countries having the same latitude as the Yukon, with soil less rich and climate more rigor, : . pr oduce annually for export, cattle, sheep and horses by the thousands, and of grain and vegetables, millions of bushels. In the not far distant future this empire of the North will do this and more; the dome-shaped hills will with gold enrich nat'ons and her fertile val- leys feed them. In five years just past, the Yukon has added to the wealth of the world many millions of dollars in gold. In the quantity, quality aid value of furs produced annually, the Yukon leads the world and has no equal. The valleys are rich in wood, coal, petroleum and copper; thousands of acres of wild grasses grow !: w! ! r high; in the marshes are cranberries and huckle- berries, and on the slopes are wild currants, gooseberries, stawherries and raspberries; in the waters are fish, and in the forest game. Of all countries it is the newest of the new and tin richest of the rich. Of those who occupied the land in days gone by—the Red Lords of the North but few remain; the ways of their white brothers were not theirs, and to them meant extermination. Of those that are left, the strongest are of the Felly, Tananow and Thlunget tribes: they have a semi-historic legend of their Asiatic origin that is very fascinating to the folklore lovers, and their dogs, half-wolf, half-bear, are not to lx seen elswhere in the world. The enchanting beauty of the wide-spreading Yukon valley—its glorious sunshine and its wealth of vegetation, fruits and flowers—comes as a great surprise to one who beholds it for the first time, and often causes exclamation: 58 THE ROSEBUD “This cannot be the North.” And it is not tin North Land of which you have read and thought perhaps to see, but away oil’ in the distant blue are still the mountain peaks capped with eternal snows. No more glorious summers are to be found anywhere else, nor for the sportsman, the Northern autumn. Here in tin late fall you can hear the moose and the caribou calling that it is time to get into their favorite meadows, where they winter; and hear, in the evenings, and goats and sheep tramping in droves and seeming to confer as to the best place to locate; the grouse call softly in the thickets; the squirrels are busily adding to their already overflowing storehouses; and there are also the bears— black, «rizzly, brown and cinnamon, fat and sleepy, and in the sedges can be heard the ducks and geese, discussing their annual excursion to the south— trulv a hunter's paradise. WORDEN BRANDON, ‘19. A MOTHER S PRAYER Mrs. Iiowe sat up and wiped her eyes. She must not let her husband know that she was crying after all the things she had said about women who tried to keep their boys from enlisting. But then she didn't know that Jack was going, and—down went her head among the pillows;—she might as well have a good cry and get it voer with. For if Jack came home tomorrow— what had she said anyway. After wiping her eyes again, she drew the letter from her pocket and read it again. “Dear Mother and Dad: I have enlisted as you knew I would, for who could help it after talking with grandfather? I hope to reach home on the 25th for a short vacation before I begin training. JACK.” It couldn't be—no, it was not possible that her baby, her little son, was a grown man and about to take his place in the world war. •She dropped down in flu pillows on the couch, while her mind went back over the years of his childhood, the time he went fishing and fell in the creek, the time he fell from the barn loft and she thought he was dead, the time he and a neighbor boy went to drown the kittens and after dropping them in the water, jumped in and rescued them. But suddenly the scene changed and she was a little girl again among the roses in the garden of her southern home. She and her mother were seated in the arbor near the end of the garden. Mcr mother had been reading the story of “Little Red Riding Hood.” Sud- denly they heard rapid hoof beats and a group of cavalrymen rode into the yard before they had time to leave the arbor. Upon seeing her mother, the leader dismounted and advanced and asked if she would give them something to eat. Her mother consented and the men dismounted and followed her into the house. But the captain lingered behind to ask the little girl if she would climb up on the gate post and watch for any other troops that might pass that way. If she saw anyone coming she was to let him know at once. She promised and he went into the house. For two long, hot hours the little girl sat there on the gate post, patiently watching. At last she saw a cloud of dust off to the east. She quickly called THE ROSEBUD 59 the captain. After watching it for a few minutes he said that it was a troop of Union horsemen. lie sounded the signal “to horse. hut before his troop had reached the crossroads, they were overtaken by tin Union men, who began firing when they were still several hundred yards away. At tin first sound of firing, the little girl and her mother with the colored servants hurried into the cellar, where they remained until the firing ceased. Then her mother sent two of the servants to see if any of the soldiers had been wounded. They came back and reported no wounded men, but two dead. Her mother ordered them to go back and bring the bodies to the house. Other servants were set to work digging two graves beneath the rose bushes in the garden. While this was being done, her mother went to the attic and brought down two Union fiags which had been stored away at the beginning of the war. By this time the servants had reached the house with the bodies of the soldiers. One was very large and his face was covered with a great black beard. lie had on a cavalryman s uniform and by his trappings was judged to be the captain. The other was just a lad. his thick, light hair matted with blood, but a smile was on his face. The bodies were wrapped in the flag for which they had given their lives. With the little girl and the servants standing near, her mother read a simple burial service as the bodies were lowered into tin graves—just as tin servants fired a volley over the graves, Mrs. Howe awoke. Had it all been a dream: was it fifty years ago it had happened? Could not the lad have been her own son Jack? With a sob she dropped to her knees beside the lounge, praying “The Father to spare her son. but if he too must give up his life for his country, that lie might find a final resting place beneath the roses somewhere in France.” HELEN MAX ROE, 18. MISS LA VERNE'S VACATIO!.' Miss La Verne was far from satisfied as she read the letter in her hand, especially that first disappointing paragraph: My Dear Daughter: I am writing to tell you that your cousin Millie will be here upon your arrival, and is to remain all during vacation. She too is a school teacher. She wrote me last week to say that since the death of her father we are her nearest relatives living, and said she would like to make us a visit during her vacation. 1 was very much pleased with her letter and, of course, I wrote telling her to come for the whole vacation. She seemed so glad to accept and I hope you will like each other. Of course, there was more to tin letter, but Miss La Verne had eyes only for that part. After nine months of teaching slow children something that they knew nothing about and cared still less, she longed for a pii« t vacation alone with her family in the little brown house on the hill. Now she would have to entertain company all during vacation. Her mother had said that 60 THE ROSEBUD Millie would be there on her arrival, so they would not even have the first few days alone. She was indeed disappointed. At last the day came. She was to start as early as possible in order to be rested for the little party which she knew the young folks would give her that night. And despite the fact that Millie would be there, Miss La Verne was very happy as she sat waiting for the train. The train was crowded as it came into tin city, and by the time Miss La Verne was on there was only one place vacant on the train, and that was beside a piquant girl in gray. Miss La Verne quietly asked her if the place was occupied and upon receiving a smiling shake of the head, she seated herself and settled her suitcase for the journey. The girl beside her was very quiet. She did not speak a word nor did Miss La Verne until they reached the station before Hillsborough. When the train stopped for that station, the girl asked if she knew what station it was and in this way a conversation was started. The girl was going on a vacation too, it seemed, and during the short conversation Miss LaVerne found herself thinking, “If only Millie were like this girl, I should not mind it.” At the station beyond, when Miss LaVerne arose to get up, the girl beside her rose also. She was rather surprised at this, but said nothing. At the station was Bob. smilingly waiting for her, and almost crushed her in a bearlike embrace. After the usual greetings, she noticed that the little girl in grey was still in the station, apparently waiting for someone, and all at once Bob exclaimed, “By, Jove, sis, I forgot all about cousin Millie. She was to come on this train too, missed the one before.” Wonder if that is she? Til go see.” Presently he came back with the smiling girl in grey. “Cousin Millie has promised to forgive me for forgetting her. Sis, isn’t she a brick?” But Miss LaVerne could only laugh in surprise, saying, “Why, Bob, we sat together all the way and didn’t know we were going to the same place and were cousins.” Milliant Brooks was a very pretty little girl who enjoyed teaching more than anything else, and she was determined to teach Miss LaVerne to like it also before the summer was over. The long tramps that the two took, the classics they read, the scholars they discussed, and, above all, the drives they took brought the two together until Miss LaVerne said she would have died of loneliness if Millie hadn't come. On one of their tramps in the woods Millie was explaining why she liked to teach school, when Bob ran in upon them, saying, “Say, Millie, mother says that she’s got a special delivery letter at the house for you and she thinks it’s important, so hurry home.” When they arrived home Millie, opening the letter, read: My Dear Miss Brooks: Received your letter asking for a position for two lady teachers and am hastening to let you know that I can give you your old grade and your friend the one above it. Please let me know if these plans are satisfactory. Yours very truly, C. S. SHARP. “Well, Miss LaVerne, shall we accept?” Millie asked, smilingly. THE ROSEBUD 61 “Accept! ’ exclaimed Miss La Verne. “We’ll put a flag on every building on the premises; thank goodness you’ve taught me how to teach during these months that we’ve been together.” And they began discussing their ward- robe and making plans for their departure. ANONA HENSING, '20. 62 THE ROSEBUD PLEASURES On Hallowe'en a masquerade party was given by the Juniors and Seniors to the Freshmen. Sophomores and Faculty. All came dressed in various cos- tumes representing Indians. Holland girls, clowns. Red Cross nurses and ghosts. Of course, at first everyone was eager to become acquainted with his mysteriously dressed friends. After a nice lunch was served and toasts were given by different members of the school, the room was suddenly dark- ened and a ghost appeared. It told of a man who had met a tragic death and it passed around various parts of this man which had been found by the ghost. This awful tale made everyone shiver with fear, and so scared were the Fresh- men that some were seen running nearly all the way home. The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Washington's Birthday was the day on which the Sophomores and Fresh - ies gave a party in return for the reception given them on Hallowe'en by the Upper Classmen. An interesting programme was given, after which many of the new-fashioned games were played. We then went to the north basement room, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and enjoyed a lunch- eon served by the Freshmen and Sophomore boys. And it was later thought that some of the waiters drank too much cocoa because one of them failed to give his toast. But in spite of the hard tasks allotted to the speechmakers, a grand and glorious time was enjoyed, as young folks all manage to have. THE ROSEBUD 63 “Of fun and frolic we’ve had a plenty, For we’re the Class of 1920.” In the rainy month of October, one Friday evening the Freshies, chap- eroned by the Sophs, loaded themselves into Fords and were driven to the home of Alice Sherwood. There they entertained themeselves by roasting dogs” and playing games. The special feature of the evening was tin selec- tion of the “best looking couple,” the result being “Miss Kroft and John Forney. ’ ’ On the evening of January 18, the last day of the semester exams, the few Sophomores who had survived tin vigilance of Miss Kroft went to the home of Miss Opal Fretz for a rousing good time, which believe us) we had. The excellent eats which were served were enjoyed by everyone. Miss Bixler chaperoned. Van Brcbill was very much surprised when the Sophomore Class, chap- eroned by Miss Bixler, Miss Bailey and Miss Kroft, wem to his home to help him celebrate his birthday, which was on January 22d. He was indeed so much surprised that his nerves were still unstrung when he cut the excellent birthdav cake. However, a fine supper was enjoyed and a good time reported by all. ' “Live while you live, For when you die You will be a long time dead. This is what the Senior Class believes in, so we decided to give the Sophomores a little treat and see if we conld not make them think that life was worth living. This party was given on the !)tii of October at Helen Man- roe's home near Corunna. During the evening we went to tin woods and enjoyed a dog roast. Everyone did his share eating “Fido. The Seniors believe in having a holiday once in a while. So when the Faculty decided to have school on Xew Year’s Day the Seniors thought dif- ferently. In the afternoon of January 1 they all assembled at the home of Lynn Arthur and began the new year right by having a good time. They played games and during the afternoon Mrs. Arthur served oyster stew, which certainly hit the right spot. The Juniors longed for a party, so on the evening of January 1 the class “got together” and had a party at Helen Eberlv’s. The evening was spent in playing games and several of the class went on a “Wedding Trip” but re- turned safely. Popcorn and candy was served and everyone reported a fine time. On the evening of April 5, the Juniors enjoyed another class party, at the home of Oliver Miser. The members of the class were taken to the Miser home in automobilse. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing “winkum, “up- set the fruit basket,” and other games equally as harmless. Later in the even- ing refreshments were served, which, of course, everyone enjoyed. At a late hour (or perhaps it was early) all departed, saying that they had had a grand time. 64 THE ROSEBUD ‘CHARLEY” Last, but not least, of the High School working force, is our beloved janitor, Charles Price, better known by the nickname of Charlie. We think him one of the most important persons at school. He keeps us warm in winter and tries to keep us cool in summer. lie picks up the chalk and little bits of paper which we thoughtlessly scatter around. In the autumn he rakes up the leaves and burns them, to the great delight of the little children. He seeks to make the schoolhouse and grounds clean and attractive. He works early and late in looking after his numerous duties. Charlie is very good-natured and although sometimes several Senior boys like to loosen the bell-rope or play other tricks, lie will usually forgive them and give them another chance. He is always willing and ready to assist us in putting up curtains and arranging for programs. Here's to Charlie—may he live long and happily and be with us for many years. THE ROSEBUD 05 ATHLETICS Athletics is a term applied to all exercises and contests of phvsieal skill and endurance. It affords a favorite pastime for school boys and girls. It provides not only a physical training, but a mental training as well, where cool judgment, quick and decisive, is required to play the game scientifically and to perfection. The main forms of athletics in our school are held exercises, such as running and jumping, baseball, tennis, and especially basketball. The girls' and boys teams did their practicing and playing during the winter months in the Town Ilall. The games between the home and visiting teams were entertaining, exciting, and drew large crowds of spectators. Nothing can appeal so much to an interested onlooker as a fast game played between equally matched teams. Although the team this year was not as strong as some in preceding years, still it showed some fine individual playing and several good players were developed. The Waterloo School belongs to the Indiana High School Athletic Asso- ciation, and the Boys’ Team attended the annual district tournament at Ken dallville this year. BOYS BASKET BALL THE ROSEBUD 67 To ov.r Captain are these lines, A better player is hard to find. lie plays left guard, and basket-thrower, He is none other than Jack Moore. Next in order is our right guard, Who misses the easy and makes the hard, lie jumps around and his forward trails, Why, this is none other than Clyde Fales. Our jolly center, the biggest of all. Has a tendency to move, and also to fall; He knows the game, he couldn't be wiser; This big guy is Oliver Miser. Next in line is our forward fair, Who gets around quickly thru the air, A thro f- from him means a basket true, And adds to the score for Waterloo. And now is the one. the smallest of all. It means a basket when he gets the ball. But never mind, it’s all the same, Kenneth George is the player's name. Subs, subs, everywhere, and not a one to spare, They’re the best ever found, always found right there; Forrest and Fales and Myers, that's the three Who say, “Oh.

An Annual Paper Price-One Creep a Tear ANOTHER SECRET ORDER FORMED In the W.H.S. A.O.C. The Ancient Order of Chess was or- ganized in the assembly of the W. II. S. February 12, 1918. Quite a few chess fiends were present. They organized and elected the following officers for the coining year: Grand Predominator... A. R. Hall Chief Aide L. J. Arthur Lieutenant Skinnum Robt. Widdicombe Corp. Igit Beet. D. Bartholomew Chief Annoyer. Herbert Willis Chief Police Joe Miser Librarian Darrel Smith The oath of office is as follows: I, with my right hand on a checker- board, hereby do solemnly swear and testify that I have read the rules of Chess at least five times and will take at least two hours and a half to play my first game. This Order will put on a tournament in the near future which is being looked forward to with great interest by many. There is a woman in Birdsville, Can- ary Islands, who has been married three times; her maiden name was Hawk, her first husband’s name was Sparrow, her second husband’s name was Robins, and her third husband’s name was Wren. There are also two Sparrows, one Rob- in and one Wren, and the one who writes this is a Lyre, a member of the same family. A MISERLY TALE. (Special to The Creeper) One day an old ‘‘Miser” took some sparkling “Wines.” This affected him so much that he forgot himself and took a joy ride through a dark “Forrest.” Thence he traveled till he reached a small town. Here he stopped and feast- ed on “Tator” soup and graham crack- ers. Later he visited a candy store and filled up on some cracker “Jack.” By this time he was so dazed that he sang old black “Joe” until the end of that Perfect Day. He then walked un- til he came to the shore of a beautiful lake. He got into a boat and let a “Man roe” him across “Bixler” lake. Hero he was met by a “Low man” named “Edwards,” who invited him into the “Hall” for a feed. He “ Frank ”lv accepted the invitation and went in. He ate—then he ate some “Moore.” He was in the height of his glory. (Here the reporter’s ravings were sadly interrupted by Miss Kroft calling upon him to recite a poem.) A STRANGE DELUSION. Has Been Insane for Twenty Years. In the Asylum for Unaccountable Hu- mans there is a painter of the “impres- sionist” school. To all visitors to his cell he points to a blank canvas in one corner, saying, “Sec, this is my latest masterpiece.” They look and see noth- THE ROSEBUD 75 ing but a bare expanse of canvas. They ask, “What does that represent?” “Why, that represents the passage of the Israelites thru the Red Sea.” “Beg pardon, but where is the sea?” “It has been driven back.” “And where are the Israelites?” “They have crossed over.” “And the Egyptian horsemen?” “They will be here directly. Now that’s the sort of painting I like—sim- ple, suggestive and unpretentious.” NOTICE!!!!! Wanted. §500,000,000 REWARD!

(The writer has requested, on account of his extreme modesty, that his name be kept secret.—Editor.) THE MOUTH. The mouth is the hole in your face. It is the upper end of a long tube run- ning to the stomach, into which you stow away hash, doughnuts and corn- bread. Some mouths look like peaches and cream, but most of them look like a hole in a brick wall which a cyclone has made. The mouth is the abode of all toothaches and is the source of YELL. My mouth is a tool-chest for pie and I wouldn’t take ten cents for it. Without it Miss Bailey would go down to an unhonored grave, and Fuzz Low- man couldn’t toot his baritone. It is the pride of every healthy baby. It is temptation’s lunch counter when at- tached to a maiden. Without it mar- ried life would be a summer dream and cats couldn't keep you awake all night howling. PRIVATE ANNOUNCEMENTS Publicly Expressed. Kaiser William Hohenzollern is cor- dially invited to attend the annual feast of King Devil next Thursday night. The Royal Palace, Tuesday, April 3d. East Hades. The Senior Class play, “All a Mis- take,” wa given March 15, 1918, in the town hall. Scenery for the play was obtained from Corunna. The play was a comedy from beginning to end. The play was under the able instruction of Miss Bailey, who has had much expe- rience in this line. The success of the play the first night was so pronounced that it was repeated on March 28th. The proceeds were applied on The Rose- bud. SENIOR LECTURE COURSE. The entertainers ami lecturers of the Dennis Lyceum Bureau sent here this winter under the auspices of the Senior Class were thoroughly enjoyed by the town-people. A fairly large number of tickets were sold, and while the Seniors’ share did not amount to any large sum, they feel amply repaid for their efforts in bringing a lecture course to Water- loo. 76 THE ROSEBUD Frank: “How old is that lamp? ’ lydia: “About two years.” Frank: “Turn it down: it's too old to smoke ’ • hat’s worse than finding a worm in a apple?” Finding two worms ? ‘ ’ “No, finding half a worm.” Irene Me.: “Tell me what to do for my toothache.” Lydia: “( i: breathing so much cold water c.u -.ning air).

The offend- er's name was placed on an “honor roll. which meant that he or she was cordially (?) invited to remain in the assembly with the teacher during the THE ROSEBUD 85 aforesaid 20 minutes, and study. It continued only a few weeks, when the teachers saw fit to remove it. I sit alone in the twilight, Forsaken by God and man. And murmur over and over, I’ll never eat onions again.

To utilize the useless is the highest economy. Fraternity— a word the Kaiser don't have in his vocabulary—the brother- hood of man. The man of stability shows horse sense. Fair and just criticism is absolutely essential to progress. If at first you do not fail, be careful the second time. A helping hand is better than the best advice. Facts are indestructible. Self-mastery is the first victory of every aspiring conqueror. The formation of good habits is better and easier than the reformation of bad ones. THE ROSEBUD Dedicated to “Boob” and Lois. A lover bold, A knight of old, Came across the flats one day; The day was cold, $o we are told. Still he kept right on his way. lie journeyed far In his little car, Till he reached southern Waterloo; Then he got his girl And they took a whirl As fast as the wind they flew. O'er plains they flew, Thru Germany, too. Till they reached the land of Trov; Hut soon she spied The Kaiser, and cried, “Faster, oh faster, Leroy.” i He sped the machine, It could hardly be seen, As it sped past farmhouse and dell; The danger soon past. They arrived home at last, And the Kaiser was left— in Germany. • • i QUOTATIONS There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. —Shakespeare He still, sad heart, and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining. —Longfellow Rest is not quitting the bi� .sy career; Rest is the fitting of self l;o its sphere. j —Dial. 90 THE ROSEBUD HEARD IN THE JAZZ ’ BAND ROOM (After bass drummer has played the same ‘ blue note twice.)

And in the evening, home I will glide. I give her some gas, but very little spark. Take hold of the throttle and off it will start. And when at the rate of a two-forty clip On turning a corner it began to slip. It slipped and it slipped, till over it went, But me—off to one side it sent; Mv head hit a stone, which made me see things, T thought me an angel with two nice wings. And when I awoke. I saw where I’d lit, But my little old Henry wasn’t damaged a bit.
