In one of the earlier meetings of the year the SENIOR CLASS decided to launch VVaverly's first Annual: their initial step was to elect a business manager and an editor, the rest being left to those per- sons. Naturally, they had to find out some- thing about an Annual. so that whatever crudity appears may be laid to this. Vlfithout the generous assistance of the faculty, the alumni, and the student body, this would have been impossible. Much credit also is due to the business men of VVaverly and to other advertisers, for we have no other fund with which to maintain an Annual. Nor can we fail to appreciate the aid which Miss Strottmann, the stenographer, has given us. In short, this is simply a product of co-operation: it simply illustrates the force of union and harmony. 1 nf 1 wig Q il T H E S TA F F -wan xi. ,F x s 5? SUPT. W. H.

VVe started the year with Mr. Wright as principal, but with the beginning of the new year he found it necessary to retire, his business interests having become so urgent. . But we were fortunate in obtaining so satisfactory a successor as Mr. Love, a man whom we have learned to appreciate, the more our acquaintance grew. The Science department has been most ably filled by Mr. Smith and Mr. Cleland. Mr. Cleland has also taken a great part in Athletics. while acting as basketball coach. Mrs. Lennen and Miss Redmond held sway in the English classes. It fell to the lot of the former to produce the class play. Miss Kruel teaches Latin, while Mrs. McMasters interests us in History. It was left to Miss Kraushaar to popularize Spanish, and until the recent action of the Board she taught German. I-Ier former German classes finished the term with a study of the World War. Miss Northey occupies the Domestic Science rooms, and Mr. Pearson is instructor of Manual Training. Incidentally, he coached the track team. Our glee clubs, orchestra, and assembly music have been under the supervision of Miss Tyrrell. Mr. Henke has had charge of several of the Mathematics classes during the last semester, QE X 4 K N XX X df Q E4 f f 7Qm,,i2f S ff Um F v 'K I f ENIYS X. PHE PERISCOPE 1918 BIARVIN F.

Class-mates, do you know that it's so, we must go, Our diploma won, play is done, work begung We must leave the dear old school, Where we've broken every ruleg But we'll have a heart, make 11 start, do our part, In life's busy throng forge along, brave and strongg Each will do his chosen work, And our tasks we'll never shirk. Chorus: So good-bye, Waverly High, Dear old school that we'll love till we dieg You've been patient ever With dull and cleverg We'll miss you as the years go byg Your aid we'll lack, but we'll come back At the call of the Yellow and the Blackg Tho years may change us, They can't estrange us, For we'll not forget our dear old Waverly High. II. Our school has stood the test, She's the best in the West, And we're proud to claim both her name and her fame, Loyal friend of days now gone, For her sake we'll Carry On. She sends us forth to iight with our might for the right And we'll do our bit, make a hit, never quit, When upon a goal we're set, 1918 ne'e1' failed yet. Senior Glass llbicnic Taking advantage of a short vaca- tion, the Senior class hiked for the woods. Needless to say, they ate din- ner when they got there. It required a few additions from Janesville to make it a meal, but that meant there would he more left for supper-and there was. just to say they had a good time will fill the bill: they did enjoy themselves, as far as we know. By the way, this picnic was at Riverside, and that meant more Seniors on the after- noon train. Things came to more or less of a crisis, or at least an anti- climax, when everybody turned in for our evening repast-or maybe it was just supper. XVe didn't have to depend on the train to take us back, or wouldn't have, if our jitneys had worked. liven Mar- vin's lecture didn't help any, or at least nothing more than to warm up the air, which was getting a little chilly. But this didn't stall us, we had a rope, and it wasn't much work to tow a Ford into town. Oh, yes, we had a chaperone, Miss Tyrrell, but she wasn't there all the time. Anyhow, nothing naughty was done. How'did we enjoy ourselves af- ter supper? VVe wouldn't dare say, but we all did enjoy ourselves. But it was a tired lot that got back after that strenuous day. 2-L THE PERISCUPE 1913 Che Senior GIHS5 Tuesday, May 21, 1918- .At the End ofthe 1flLilIIJOIl7u CAST OF CHARACTERS ROBERT PRESTON, a Lawyer ............A....................C................. ,.......

' Q , W .iq 1:11 SYNOPSIS The students are practicing for a football game, and much interest in the outcome is shown. It develops that Douglas Brown. a football expert from another college, is in town on business connected with his father's estate, and to distract attention, enters this college and thru Phyllis Lane he is induced to play on the team. Robert Preston, a lawyer, secretly loves Marion Dayton, his ward, and she reciprocates. He intrusts to her the combination of his safe and tells her of a packet of important papers lying therein. Louise Ross and her mother. Mrs. Brown, stepmother of Douglas, learn that a second will disinheriting them is among the papers in Preston's safe. They plot to obtain possession of the document at a mask ball giv- en by Marion. Louise wears a costume ident- ical with that of Marion, deceives Preston, learns from him the combination of the safe, and obtains the papers therefrom by the aid of Jack Austin. The Imp , a girl student, sees and recognizes her. ' Preston enters and recognizes Jack. and convinced that he meditates robbery, upbraids him. Marion enters and, comprehending the situation, as she fancies, she shields Jack by assuming the guilt. Her innocence is fully es- tablished by The Imp , who exposes Louise. Meanwhile Douglas wins the game for the team and realizes that he loves Phyllis, but when he learns that she has trifled with him, he becomes cool. This. however, passes away, and happiness follows. Preston, after learn- ing of Marion's innocence, discovers that he loves her, and their dream of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is happlly realized. mis THE PERISCOPE ,. 25 Glass ilrltstorp lt was only fitting that the year which ushered in the great World NfVar should also bring into Waverly High School the Class of 1918. For as one was destined to change the affairs of the world, so was the other destined to revolutionize the affairs of VVaverly High School. As the great NVorld VVar was started for the purpose of bringing about democracy in the world, so had the Class of 1918 an aim that was reached at last by the publica- tion of W'averly's first High School Annual, the 1918 HPERISCOPEH. Both had their small beginnings. The NVorld VVar started in the little country of Serbia, and in four years spread over the entire world. The Class of '18 entered high school on Sept. 12, 191-l, with an enrollment of about sixty. At first regarded as in- significant Freshmen, they had not much part in the affairs of the high school, but in the second year of their stay, as their members grew larger in a physical sense, so the influence of the class grew, making itself felt both in athletics and in the social life of the school. In the third year of their sojourn, the class became one of the most im- portant factors in the school. In ath- letics, led by Morgan, Schluter, Graen- ing and Hennings, the class was in the front, both in football and basketball. This was before the advent of track athletics as a school sport, or the class would have had a strong representa- tion in that line. In the last year of its reign, the class reached the zenith of its career. Again strongly represented in athlet- ics, it became the leading class in social affairs. Also the class in this year undertook its greatest task, the publication of an Annual. With Doc Kern at the helm, the Annual was started, and on graduation night the class gave to the town and the school the records of its deeds during its few years in high school. On the same night, the members of the class re- ceived the objects of their aims-their diplomas. And so ended the brief, but eventful history of the Class of 1918. 7 f -x f 26 THE PERISCOPE 1918 61855 DFODDCCQ Scene-Lobby of the Hotel Fortner, Wav- erly, Iowa. Date-July 4, 1936. Action-A tall, dark man signing his name to hotel register, a man of medium height awaiting his turn. Looks over first man's shoulder and sees name he signs. Starts, and after signing his own name, goes over to first man, who has crossed the room to where sev- eral easy chairs are standing before a window facing Bremer avenue. He stops and taps first man an the shoulder and says, Pardon me, but I saw that you signed your name 'Wendell Kern'. Might you be the same who was editor of the 1918 'Periscope'? I have that honor , replies Mr. Kern. Perhaps you may remember me says the other, for I chanced to be the assistant editor of the same publication. 'Pussy' Schluter, by all that's holy! ex- claims Kern. Sit down and talk awhile. They sit down, and after minor articles of conversation, from which Schluter finds out that Kern is a. doctor by profession, but is now serving as congressman from the Third district, an Kern finds out that Schluter is a prosperous corporation lawyer engaged in helping to break the laws Kern helps to make, at last the conversation comes around to the various members of their class. Some such statements as these were overheard: Say, what became of that lanky business manager of ours ? asks Schluter. Graening? Oh, he is a real doctor now, and is practicing at Irma.' By the way, sev- eral of our classmates are around about that prosperous little town. There's Amos, our president, you know, is running a large farm in partnership with Morgan. They get along pretty well, except that they keep quarreling over who is to have their fair housekeeper, a person by the name of Louise. They haven't settled that matter yet. Have you struck any of the members of our class? I have, now that you mention it , replied Schluter. A couple of months ago, I went into a bachelor's club, and there I saw on the list of members the name of Herbert Nolting. He was pointed out to me later, and say, but he is big and fat! No, I never got a chance to speak to him. And you've heard of that famous hair-dresser in Chicago? Well, she and Margaret L. of our class are one and the same. Yes, and that famous cartoonist for 'Punch', the one who signs the name of 'Piffie'. I was introduced to her ffor it's a womanj and found out that she was 'Pete' Beyer, of '18. Strange, isn't it? We all thought she'd have a home of her own soon, and here she is, an old maid, drawing cartoons for a magazine. This is sure a queer world, isn't it? Say, exclaims Kern, I just saw across the street another one of our fellows, 'Doc' Murphy. Yes, he's a doctor now. Lives in Denver, and has a family. Yes, the same one he had when in high school. And you've seen that famous 'Vamp' of the Peerless Moving Picture Co., that brunette, you know? Well, that's Orpha Jean. And that other 'Vamp' with the same company is Helen M. You know the quotation we had about her: 'With her roguish eyes', etc. Well, it's pretty true, I guess. But you must have been pretty busy if you haven't met some more of our famous classmates. Come to think of it, I have. You remem- ber 'Beany' Rausch. Always wanted to be president of something. Well, he became the president of some Reform League and they tried to prosecute our Hrm once. Ha! Ha! No, they didn't win. In fact, I turned the case on them and got them all convicted of perjury. His assistants were a couple of fellows named Behrens and Siegloff. The latter was a detect- ive. They all got ten years and a big fine. At Anamosa, I think. There was also a woman's reform league that tried to land me, too, but didn't succeed. Their leader was a woman by the name of Harmon. and she had some help- ers by the names of Schaffer and Barber. Here the conversation turned to music, as the band across the street began to play. Talking of your bands and orchestras, that one that is led by O. Byram, the long-haired brother of Monsieur Harold Byram, the fam- ous cornetist, is the best I've heard in years, said Schluter. I wonder if they could be the same Byram brothers that were in our class, and if that Mlle. Bodeker. their pianist, is the Clesine of the same class? They are the same, and their baritone player is Maurine L., of our bunch. Well, well we sure do have famous class- mates. Who is that whiskered farmer over 'here-the one with the red-haired wife? She has been jawing him for the last ten minutes. That's another member of our class, Sam Whitney. Same girl, too, that he had when in high school. And that tall, lanky fellow is Fritz Hennings. He is working for George Hoffman the inventor. That's the same Hoff- man that was in our class. And that little, short fellow over there in that big car, the one with the checked suit on, that's Hicks, manag- er of the motorcycle factory. But there's the man I've got an appointment with-Harold Gruben. He is another of our '18's, you know. Come on, we'll go out and see him. The two rise and leave hotel. M. F. S. 1918 THE PERISCOPE 27 3nnior-Senior 1Reception On the night of April 18, the Juniors enter- tained the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior reception. The program started out with a re- presentation of a graduation exercise given by the Junior class. With George Anderson as Mr. Ray, the program consisted of speeches by various members of the class, ,representing the members of the faculty. Also the vale- dictorian address was given. After the pro- gram, the party adjourned to the gym, where a splendid luncheon was served. The rest of the evening was spent in music and in a game of dates. A good time was had by all. Senior-3nntor llbicnic On May 15, the Seniors decided to have another picnic, and also to invite the Juniors. So arrangements were made, and the class journeyed to Riverside for another good time. Because of their classes, the Juniors were unable to come until about 3 o'clock, so the Seniors ate their dinner alone. With a few additions from town, a meal that satisfied all was made out. The afternoon was spent in fishing, loafing, and in solitary walks tby couples, thru the woods. When the Juniors came, more groups were seen taking these walks. But it was even fun to loaf, as one Senior said, after having to work so hard for the last few weeks. Supper was eaten at about 6 o'clock. After this, many were obliged to go back to town, so one by one tor, to be more correct, two by twoj the crowd went back to town, after having had a good time.

EMIL H. RAUSCH, Pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church It is not a sermon that I am going to preach tonight. Indeed, to call it a sermon would be a misnomer. No, I intend to talk to you simply and plainly, without rhetorical frills and furbelows on a subject that should be of interest to us all. And it seems to me to be peculiarly pertinent and appropriate at this time when thousands and tens of thousands of our young men and women all over the land are graduating from high schools, academies, colleges and universities, custodians and trus- tees of the future as they are. Many of them are, no doubt, seriously considering their life work. Others are merely glad to be thru with the strenuous course of study and are just drifting, like Mr. Micawber in Dicken's im- mortal story, waiting for something to turn up. The goddess of riches, honor, fame, pleasure holds out her enchanting wand and the number of those willing and ready to be led by her is legion. It is the reason for my subject. We Americans have ofttimes been called, more or less as a term of contempt, a nation of shopkeepers and tradesmen. The world at large has been informed that our highest ideal is to make money, that with us success and riches are convertible terms. And indeed, with some people this seems to be the case. The making of money makes up the sum and are substance of their existence. Some there who are ready to violate their consciences and barter their very souls for its possession, tho this type is not limited to our side of the At- lantic by far. But this is true, that we Amer- icans have gloried rather in conquests of peaceful vocation and commercial and indus- trial achievement than in conquests by force of arms. And the hum and buzz of a machine out in the harvest fields or in our factories has been better music in our ears and a love- lier sight to our eyes than the mere glitter of gold braid and the martial rattle of the sabre. This is another reason why my subject ought to appeal to us all. I am going to talk to you about peaceful conquests, about investments, and particularly about one investment that always pays. No, I am not going to discuss the relative merit of stocks and bonds and mortgages and gilt edged paper, the value of which can be reckoned in and cents, nor yet of paper terms of dollars with a gilt edge, indeed, but of value only to the suave and courtly gentleman who is trying to sell it. I have in mind an investment that is giltedged in every way, that never falls be- low par, that ever yields magnificent dividends and returns, that brings joy while men live and soothes them when they die, that no periods of financial depression can depreciate, indeed, that grows greater and more valuable the harder and worse the times. I want to hold this up for your consideration. And whoever we are, and whatever we are, and wherever our place and station in life, and whatever our calling and profession, I want to hold this up to you as that one factor which gives value, real, moral and eternal value to it all. I have in mind the life that is invested in service for God and man, and I wish to speak to you for a little while of the Dignity and Joy of Service. It is told of Thomas a'Kempis, the author of one of the greatest books of devotion, the Imitatio Christi, Imitation of Christ, a book that came out in more editions and has been translated into more languages than any other, the Bible only excepted, that once during his school days his preceptor asked the class, Which passage of Scripture conveys the sweetest description of heaven? One ans- wered, There shall be no more sorrow. Another said, There shall be no more death. A third, They shall see His face. But Thomas, who was the youngest of them all, after a moment of thoughtful reflection, ans- wered, His servant shall serve Him. -There is no greater investment ever come to mo1'tal man, no greater opportunity, whoever and whatever we may be, than this. Our Lord Jesus Christ says, No man liveth to himself alone. He needs the other man, just as the other man needs him. And again, He who would be greatest among you, let him be the servant of all. Did it ever occur to you that the most powerful man in the most powerful empire on the face of the globe, an empire on whose dominions the sun never sets, that the most powerful man in the British Empire is not the king? He not called the Czar, nor the Imperator, nor the Shah, nor the Sultan. He is called the Prime Minister. And min- ister is only another word for servant. Service for God and fellowman, in whatever way you put it, whatever it involves and in- cludes, great things or small things, serving a nation or serving the least of its citizens, is the greatest, the most enduring, the most sat- isfying investment that life knows. Wealth takes wings and flies away and even the wealthiest Croesus cannot, as he dies, take those things with him which he values. He is then only the late So-and-So. He is no longer a personality. He is only just a lump of clay. And those things which his thrift or his success accumulated now only furnish his heirs with an occasion to display another kind of thrift, namely spend-thrift. Honor and fame and popular favor are as fickle as the ocean's wave. Pleasure ofttimes requires a bromide on the day after. And even the strength and power of young manhood loses its grip as the eyes grow dim with advancing years. But ser- 1918 THE PE RISCOPE 29 vice for others endures. It lives and abides forever. The Good Book says, And ,their works do follow them. And don't you know that God's great call to men and women is the call to service? The call of the country is the call to service, and never more urgent is this call than now during these days of storm and stress and strife with democracy and freedom hanging in the bal- ance. The call of the Church is for service, the call of humanity is for service. You hear it on all sides. It comes to you from all four quarters of the compass. It comes from the great industrial centers of the land. It comes from the battlefronts and the black welter of blood in war-scarred Europe. It comes from the mission fields white unto harvest. It comes to you right here at home in our own com- munity. It comes to every man. It is in- tensely personal. It comes to the group and comes to the individual. It comes to you and it comes to me. Its responsibility cannot be shifted. You cannot take its burden and put it on the shoulders of someone else. It is not a call for a time only nor for a part only. It is a call for nothing less than your very self, your very life. It is the call for a life invest- ment. Did you ever stop to think that to make a life is a far greater thing than only just to make a living? Men there are a plenty who never make more than a living, however sump- tuous and bathed in luxuries that may be. But they never make a life. And men there are who make splendid lives, tho their's at best was never more than a scant and modest liv- ing. Making a life is the thing that counts. It is the thing that glorifies humanity. It is the thing that makes a nation great. It em- bodies God in human character. It gives the hope of a better day for all men. It endures beyond the grave. Men, indeed, love to meas- ure a man's ability by what he leaves when he dies. They say, he was worth so and so much, and they think of stocks and bonds and mort- gages and giltedged paper and dollars and cents. But in heaven they measure a man's ability by what he gave away before he died, by his faith and his conduct and his life. There is the difference. And the thing which we call an education is valuable only as it enables one to discharge this loftiest duty of life, to serve. And its value increases in proportion as it fits man for this purpose, and decreases in the same ratio as it unfits him for this purpose. It must in- spire man, teach him, enable him, put the faculty and power into his hands to do some- thing and to do it properly, to serve. Of course, here, too, as elsewhere when you get down from the mountain tops of theory into the lowlands of actual conditions many of your ideals are shattered. You get men and women whose lives fall far short of their theories, men and women strong in mouth and weak in the knee, men and women possessing every- thing to make a life except the necessary car- bonate of lime to make the back bones stiff. You get men and women who stand like guide posts at the roadside of life: they point the way, but they never go themselves. I do not intend to launch into a lengthy discussion of the meaning and value of what we term an education. Time is too short for a subject so long. But let me say this, that education and culture,-and I love to use these terms as convertible-is not the mere pumping in of facts. It is not simply the acquisition of positive knowledge. And the man who stands before you loaded like a cannon to the muzzle with facts ready to belch forth death and de- struction at any time to any man innocent of the same formidable accomplishment may be a bore but he is not necessarily a cultured man. And again it is not mere versatility, mere ready wit or external polish. And the doubtful faculty of jumping with ease from one subject to an- other and I dare say expressing ten opinions in ten minutes on ten subjects without ever once stopping for breath, or concealing a dearth of thot under a wealth of words may be sufficient evidence to convince even the dullest jury of the presence of a well lubricated tongue-sixty miles an hour-but it does not imply a well disciplined mind nor make much for culture or refinement. It is not a means to enable a man to get out from in under work, nor is it merely a ladder to help him to climb to the top of social preferment or political distinction. You cannot make a greater mistake than to send your boy or girl to school with the idea that if they obtain an education they will not have to toil with their hands. It would be folly to tell them, You go to school and get an education and you will not have to work as your father and your mother did! There is the beginning of the idea of caste. It is hostile to the spirit of Democracy. It breeds the feeling that somehow it is more noble to earn your bread with your brains, or better still to be in a po- sition where you do not have to earn it at all, than to earn it with your hands, and it disqualifies from work which otherwise might have been done and done well. It is a mistake to think manual labor is less noble. It is not the kind of work that is done but the spirit behind it that counts. The man who digs the ditch and does a good job and is hon- est and upright and sincere is a thousand times better citizen and more respectable than the man in the pulpit or the man in the ofiice whose purpose is not right, or the mere profi- teer who lives and preys on the sweat and blood of others, whether he rides in a limou- sine or not. It is a thousand times better and more productive of good to be a competent brick layer or blacksmith, a good shoemaker or tailor, an efficient merchant or farmer, doing his best at his work, than to be a mere genteel dog fancier or a cigaret smoking dude too in- fiated with his own importance to do an honest day's work. And it is a thousand times better and more dignified to rock a cradle or cook a meal that can be eaten with relish or make of home a haven of rest and peace to which hus- band and child and brother and sister turn with delight and where the guest and stranger finds a hearty welcome than to be a mere bundle of tinsel and paint whose sole purpose in the world is to be coddled and pampered, a mere simpering, smirking fashion plate with rufiles and frills, and fritter away life in idle pastime. What kind of manhood does it :so THE PERISCOPE 1918 betoken to be an elegant idler or an improvi- dent spendthrift wasting his substance in riot- ous living and setting an evil example for others with a thousand places in the world calling for men ? Or what kind of womanhood is it to idle a.nd gossip from pillar to post with a thousand places in the world calling for women? And never has there been a time in the world's history since first the march of ages began when the call for real red blooded men and women came to us with greater ur- gency and more elemental force than todayg never a time in the history of the race when there was more demand for men and women who are willing to serve and to do so in the sweat of their brow and with the muscle of their arms, yes, and ready even to shed their life's blood if need be. No, whatever that may be, it is not educa- tion and it is not culture, nor is it real refine- ment either in manner or in taste. In that sense, education would lack its most essential element. It would be like Hamlet with Ham- let left out. Of course, it is not altogether easy in a few words to state what the real meaning and value of education is. But let me say this, to me it means the drawing out of manhood and womanhood. It is the develop- ment of personality. It calls forth powers of all kinds, of thought, will and affections. It enables men to observe, contrive, reason, dis- criminate, understand, judge and sympathize. It inspires them to adopt good ends freely and pursue them efficiently. It means the power of self control, moderation, inHuence for good. It is mental and moral discipline. It inspires thought. It enables men to think, really to think. You know, so often we only think we think. But at closer analysis we are not thinking at all. We are only running unre- strained over the illimitable expanse of thought. We think that we are storing' our minds with thought but as a matter of fact we have not yet found the key that unlocks the door. It inspires initiative. Its aim is not merely to en1'ich the mind but also to enrich and beautify the soul and the will. It inspires action. It enables men to choose between right and wrong. It has a moral substratum. Rabelais says, Science without conscience is the soul's death. In other words, knowledge without the backing and restraint of morality is the soul's death. Hand and glove with the unfolding of the mind must go the unfolding of the moral nature. As a man progresses in knowledge he must also progress in his ability to put it to better use. Mere mental development does not make men better. It may make them more prudent, more crafty, more efficient in a way, more subtly hypocritical, but it never makes them better. Culture as such is no safe guard against vice. Where is there, for instance, speaking in broad terms, more moral decay than in our socalled cultured classes? It is not usually among washerwomen and toil- ers where you get' the most gambling and drinking. It is not usually the soiled linens of domestic infelicity found in the lives and homes of our socalled common people that are washed by high priced lawyers in the di- vorce courts and hung up before a gaping multitude to dry. True culture, I repeat, al- ways has a moral substratum. Hence, true culture always implies and demands religion. It is a mistake to think that education can take the place of religion. It is not true that all a man needs is a little culture and learning to make him live rightly. Plutarch says, It is easier to rear a building without a foundation than it is to build a people without religion. Pythagoras admonishes his followers, Do not enter a temple merely in passing. The sanc- tuary must never be only an incident or ac- cident in youi life. The ornament of the building may indeed arrest the eye and attract attention and call forth the exclamation of admiration, but it is the lowly fundament on which the building rests that really makes it firm and strong. Morality without religion is like the building without the foundation. Somehow it is built in the air, castle of theory built on banks of fog. It may be ornamental but it won't stand. It is idealized selfishness, sicklied over with a pale cast of doing good. In other words, no system of education is complete which ignores and undervalues the training of the eye to see God, the training of the heart to love God, the training of the will to serve God. We are told that the educational ideal of the ancient Per- sians could be summed up in the one word, obedience The Persian youth was taught to fear and venerate the gods, to obey parents and those in authority, love country and home, and practice the habit of truthfulness. You notice, less mental, more moral training and the whole with religion as a back ground --a good ideal even in the present day. I come back again to my starting point. Education and culture is valuable in propor- tion as it inspires and enables men the better to serve, whatever that service may be, to serve God and fellowman, to make a life and not merely a living. And as the one and won- derful examplc for us all I call your attention to our Lord Jesus Christ. I do not wish to seem irreverent, but I think you will under- stand if I say, that the highest type of the truly cultured man which the world has ever known is the Man from Nazareth. Of course, if cul- ture and education are nothing more than mere knowledge, bookishness, passing thru so and so many years of school work, or what is sometimes called an academic training, then Jesus was neither cultured nor educated. If it is only ready wit and versatility, mere polish and good manners, if it is merely an avenue that leads away from toil and work, or a lad- der to climb to the top of social prestige and political distinction, then Jesus was neither cultured nor educated. But if it implies the de- veloped and perfected personality, the eye that sees God, the heart that loves God, the will that obeys God, if it means a mind ever alert to the truth, a heart that loves the truth, a will that applies truth, if it means the power to reason, discriminate, understand, sympathize, adopt good ends freely, pursue them efficiently, and without fear or favor, if it means to make a life and not merely a livingg in all charity and kindness to apply the truth, that no man liveth to himself alone, and, he that would be greatest among 15318 THE PERISCOPE :ll you let him be the servant of all, then there is no higher type of culture and refinement, no loftier example for true manhood and woman- hood than that given by him. I ask you to dwell with me for a few mo- ments on the wonderful personality and life of the Man from Nazareth. Who was he? What were his advantages in life? What training did he have? And yet what does he mean for the world, even to the present day? It is true, there are many who are ready with their answer at once. Why, they say, he is the founder of the Christian religion. He is the most wonderful preacher and teacher the world has ever seen, far greater than either So- crates or Buddha, head and shoulders above Zoroaster or Muhammed. He is the noblest and most ideal of men. They inform us that he was born at Bethlehem, a little town to the south of Jerusalem, at the break of the Chris- tian era. He was reared at Nazareth among the hills of Galilee. He was poor all his life and lived in obscurity until he was about thirty years of age. He worked at the trade of a carpenter, built houses and made plow- shares, as Justin the Martyr, tells us. As such his fellow townsmen knew him. And then he suddenly rose to fame and came into public prominence. He gathered a little band of faith- ful disciples about him, mostly from the lowly walks of life, fishermen, laborers, publicans, tax gatherers. He unfolded a wonderful ministry in the Holy Land, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom of God and doing his wonderful works, such as had never been done before. But he an- tagonized the religious leaders of his day. in- deed, incurred their hostility and hatred in such a measure that finally in the very flush of his manhood, on the very pinnacle of his power and usefulness. he fell a victim to their malice and died only thirty-three years of age, like a common malefactor on the cross. ,Of course, this is true, every word of it, but is that all there is to be said? Does that tell the whole story? You will permit me to follow out this thought a little further. Let me call your attention to a few outstanding facts that at first glance stand like conflicting witnesses side by side, and yet only pave the way for a deeper harmony and truth. You know, that the determining factors are not always on the surface. It requires seeing eyes and hearing ears and a heart and mind il- luminated by the very Spirit of God from on high to perceive and apprehend and appreciate the mysteries of God. Did you ever stop to ask yourself wherein lies the power, the won- derful charm and power of personality and life of Jesus? He was no author, no profound writer of books like Homer and Shakespeare. He was no essayist, no powerful editor of an influential daily. Not a single line ever came from his pen. Not a single word did he ever write so far as we know, excepting, perhaps, those words which he traced with his finger in the dust of the tessellated floor in the temple court on that memorable occasion. You, no doubt, remember the incident, when the haughty Pharisees, self appointed guardians of public righteousness and virtue, brought in the woman caught fresh in sin, placed her before him, formed a circle about him, and virtuously and angrily demanded of him to pass jud ment upon her. And Jesus with his kind, penetrating eye looked them in the face for a moment and then stooped over and began to write with his finger on the ground. What did he write? I do not know, but something in which these hypocrites read their doom and the woman found the beginning of her new life. One by one they slunk away. They could not endure in the purity of his presence, until no one remained except only he and she. Whatever the characters may have been which Jesus traced with his finger in the dust of the temple floor the woman found in them the beginning of her new life. And yet he was no author, no writer of books, no influential editor, no essayist. He was no great orator like Cicero and Demosthenes, who swayed the very multitude with the mighty torrents of their eloquence. And yet men fairly hung upon his lips with the intensity of adoration and de- votion. He was no far famed physician, no great lawyer. And yet no one ever healed as he did with the mere touch of his hands and no one ever plead the case of humanity, especially the down trodden and the weak, as did he. History does not mention his name among her states- men. And yet did ever a man have more in- fiuence on the principles of government than he? He was no renowned musician, no famous poet, no great artist, no wonderful architect or sculptor. We look in vain for his name in the annals of fame. And yet he rises before uswith- out a peer among men, the greatest of them all. Everywhere he occupies the center of the stage. Wherever you see him, whether in the synagogue or at the wedding feast, or at the seashore, or on the lonely mountain top, or at the River Jordan, or the temple courts, or in the multitude, or in the crowded streets of a great city, or in the judgment hall, or in that upper chamber, or standing before Annas and Caiaphas, Pilate or Herod, or in the solitude of Gethsemane, or the agonies of Golgotha- everywhere and always he is the central figure of the scene. He stands before us absolutely unique, absolutely in a class by himself. And the wonderful charm and power of his personality rises to ever loftier eminence as the hour hand on the great clock of centuries advances, and the ages rush by. Millions upon millions have looked up to him in faith, drink- ing in his every word with an intensity and eagerness as the sun parched fields in the sum- mer time drink in the refreshing showers of rain, found solace and courage and comfort and strength, and lived and loved and suffered and died with sunshine in their hearts and a smile upon their lips because of what he said and did. No mighty monarch upon his throne of gold, no eminent statesman changing the very course of history by the sheer power of his genius, no far seeing leader of armies or effi- cient captain of industry, no mighty and erudite scholar or profound thinker moulding the very thoughts of men, nor yet the greatest and most virtuous among the best of men can even ap- proach the wonderful genius or his personality. There he stands before us absolutely unique, absolutely in a class by himself. And yet does this explain? Does it tell the whole story? Does it give us 32 THE PE RISCOPE 1918 the key to his wonderful personality, his life, his message, his work? Is it only this that the gospel and pages of history have to tell? Is this sufficient to account for the fact that millions upon millions of the very best men, the most highly humanized and civilized, the most prosperous and progressive of men have lived and loved and suffered and died with his image in their hearts and his name upon their lips? Is this sufficient to account for the fact that his wonderful genius is stamped with letters indelible upon the pages of history? I ask you to pause for a moment and refiect. How do you account for all this? Of course, I cannot now stop for a profound metaphysical or theological discussion of the personality and work of Jesus of Nazareth. But let me call your attention to a word which he, in that sim- ple straightforward way of his, says of himself. He says, and thereby characterizes the secret of his life and work, The Son of Man is come to seek and to save what was lost. I ask you to ponder over this for a moment. It gives us the key to his wonderful personality and work. And again he says, The Son of Man is come not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give his life as a ransom for many. It is the very highest service that any man can ren- der, for what is ministry after all but simply another term for service? His was the ministry of doing good in the loftiest and most sublime interpretation of the term, the ministry of bringing life. He lived in vital communion with God, and hence he was always doing things for men. No one was too low or too high, none too close by or too far away to be helped by him if only there was a willingness to receive help. He associated and ate with publicans and sinners and elevated them. He touched lepers and healed them. He raised up scarlet women out of the gutters of sin and despair. On one side he was always hand in hand with God, hence, on the other, he was al- ways hand in hand with men. He was vital, active, robust, rugged, edicient, sympathetic, helpful. He was like the sun in the heavens, always giving light and warmth to good and bad alike. And radiant over all, like a circlet of gold, there is written that one motto and purpose of his life, The Son of Man is come not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give his life as a ransom for many. And his Church, what is it but an agency for service, indeed, the greatest agency for service that history knows. He instructs every member of his Church personally and diligently to search the Scriptures, to get at the depths of divine wisdom, to scan the horizon of his- tory, to study the mystery of pain and dis- ease, to ferret out human suffering, and to ap- ply his spirit of truth and mercy to every re- lation in life. He is to teach, live, apply faith, hope and kindness. He should be just and yet merciful. He should be firm and yet charitable. He should be stern in rebuking vice and yet generous in recognizing virtue. He should be loyal, patriotic, faithful, kind. He should be alert to the truth, quick to its recognition, generous in its application. He should bring the soothing balm of his gospel of grace and peace to all men languishing in the dark- ness of error and sin, irrespective of color, And this is the reason every age uniooses the sends them out on their It sends them forth as into the depths of coal mines, now aloft, as on wings, above the clouds, now to the frigid solitudes of Arctic ice and now out of the trackless forests of equator- ial heat. Have you ever stopped to think how many of the things which we use and cherish every day and look upon as selfevident and inevitable because we have them, are really Christian, that is, directly traceable to his word and work and the principles which he laid down? The microscope is Christiang the tel- escope is Christiang the railroad train is Chris- tiang the steamship is Christiang the electric light which lights our cities and our homes is Christian, the sewing machine and self binder are Christian, the printing press is Christian, and these examples might be multiplied in- definitely. So many things there are, as the auctioneer's bills say, too numerous to men- tion, that are specifically and intrinsically Christian, that is to say, Christian as to their ultimate origin, direct products of the great principles of freedom and service laid down and demanded in his gospel. They are the things added to them who first seek the Kingdom of God. Of course, to what use we devote these things is another matter and one for which we must account before the great white throne when judgment day dawns, but they are in- trinsically and specifically Christian, given to us by him to be used for freedom and the ser- vice of men. Don't you see that at the bottom of them all lies the great call to ministry, ser- vice for God and fellowman? And don't you see that here, too, radiant round them all, writ- ten in characters of burnished gold, is the one truth, He who would be greatest among you, let him be the servant of all. I wonder whether I have made my point clear. Whoever we are, whatever we are, wherever our place and station in life, what- ever our calling and profession, what greater investment is there for us than a life in the service of God and man ? And if education and training, mental and moral discipline have any value at all, what can it be than to equip us the better to discern and discharge this pur- pose, to solve the problems and fulfill the duties of life whether great or small? But as I said before, when you stop to theorize and come down to actual conditions you find so many, many men and women who fall woefully short of their ideals, so many who are strong in the mouth and weak in the knee. You have them in all walks of life, as members of the Church, as citizens of the country, as members of the community, as teachers and students and workmen and where not, men and women who have patterned their lives after the wheelbarrow: you always have to push them and they are so easily upset! Ah, yes, as David Harum says, There's as much human nature in some folks as there is in oth- ers, and maybe more. That, no doubt, ac- counts for it in a measure. In conclusion, let me say this. A mental and moral discipline and training that does not make for a better manhood and womanhoodg race or extraction. why Christianity in energies of men and errands of service. pioneers, now down 1918 T11 E PE RISCOPE 353 culture and learning that does not instill loftier ideals, lead to a purer life, inspire nobler mo- tives, make better citizens, make better Chris- tians, better husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, sons and daughter, neighbors and friends, is not worth the time that was spent in acquiring it. An education that cannot be taken out into life and used in the daily prob- lems and affairs of life and used for the better- ment of life, that cannot be used to make a life and is only good to make a living, is worse than none at all. You know the story of the good old lady and her umbrella. She was a maiden lady an,d she had an umbrella which she prized very much. One day her nephew came to call upon her and while he was there it be- gan to rain. He waited for the rain to pass be- fore he took his departure. But the rain, as rainsiimietimes do, would not pass. Instead it kep getting worse and worse. Finally the time had come when he must go, and, get- ting up to bid his good old aunt farewell, he suddenly spied the umbrella standing in the corner of the room. Walking over to it he said to his aunt, With your per- mission, I will use this umbrella and will surely return it to you in the morning. But now imagine his consternation when the FT 'lug bf good old soul got up in evident agitation and exclaimed, Oh no, boy, you cannot have that umbrella. Why just stop to think, I have had that umbrella for twenty-tive years and it never got wet yet. Of what use is an umbrella that cannot be taken out in the rain even tho it gets wet?! That is what umbrellas are for. And of what use is a life which because of what it has learned and experienced is not the better equipped to abound in service for God and man? And never was there a call for ser- vice greater than at the present time. I invite you to invest, not only your sur- plus, not only a part of what you have and are, but to invest your very selves, your very lives, your hopes and ambitions, your powers and energies, everything that you are and possess and know. I invite you to invest it in the most wonderful investment there is, gilt- edged in every way, never falls below par, ever yields magnificent dividends and returns, and, strangely enough, grows the greater and more valuable the harder and worse the times, brings joy to men while they live, comforts them when they die. I invite you to invest in the service of God and your fellowman. He that would be glrieatest among you, let him be the servant o a . -.,,,,f xi 11 llil Pl RISLOPIC Iirls 'W' i My 1 1 ,Senior-S - 1717 A 7711!

Some time or other before enter- ing, each of our forty-eight members had been informed of the initiation procedure so necessary to high school entrance, but we could not allow this to interfere, and started in to make a record from the first. With the assemblage of the class the next year we had lost members, but this simply meant that the rest of us had to work harder. Uur star ath- letes bndded out that year, Alfred Gish, Edwin Kohlmann, and Donald Brooks making the first team. ' NVe followed this up by winning the class championship in basketball. Edwin Kohlmann and Roland Schulze made the first team. To further our record, Evelyn Mc- Clure won first place in the local de- clamatory contest and received second place in the state contest. A few 1919's took part in orchestra and glee club work that year. lt was at this time, too, that we had our first social events. On resuming our work this Fall, we elected class officers: Roland Schulze, president, Dora Luhring, vice-president, Erwald Pape, secre- tary and treasurer. Having chosen old rose and black as our colors, it was only proper that we should display them in the form of sweaters. Again we proved a valuable addi- tion to athletics, Hiram Hunt, Lynn Saylor, Harold Hoeger and Erwin lserman representing us on the team. Saylor is captain-elect for next year. Edwin Kohlmann was captain of this season's basketball team. Hunt and Schulze also made the team. lt was one of our contestants. Ade- laide Ebert, who again won the de-- clamatory contest. Among other things, we took a French leave of our own, the Senior colors having been displayed from the top of the school house. VVe were un- able to remove them, as they were chained on, so we naturally absented ourselves. Things were made satis- factory in a few days, and back we came to resume our work. The Class of 1919 has but one more year to complete its record. and it is with the highest hopes that we will return next year to take our places as Seniors. E. P., '19.

Because they want to? Oh, no! No angels here! Force of circumstances, I certainly fear, Is the cause of this devotion to their lessons And regular attendance at all their sessions. Our secrets? Well, yes, we have a great many, And perhaps a few I'll tell-it won't hurt any. What makes our tall Biggs so very high? You think when he rises he'll surely touch the sky, Well, his mother told me in confidence and fun That a brick on his head she placed each night -but oneg That night at least a foot he he grew, I think, And she could find nothing to make him shrink. Our secret worry? Is it that Blitz will lose his speech, And the over-worked teachers will have more time to teach? The star student in correspondence, we'll say, Was Pgggy, by Heck, who wrote many letters a ay. When it comes to E's, Geraldine and May We'll match with anyone in the U. S. A. We've a Grasslield and two Shepherds-just hear us gloat- But we need some sheep, and Who'll be the goat? We have, too, a Heath and a Rose to put therein, And a Marguerite so Sweet. It certainly seems 8. S111 Not to have a May Queen so Royal this coming Spring, For her praise and honor we'd all be glad to sing. Do you remember when Schluter knocked out big Trumaine? Well, we're some fighters, we surely maintain. But there are some secrets that we can't give away- Mention to Cole his happy home when he his cornet began to pla g Ask Frank Cline about his superfine collection, 1t's a splendid one from every possible di- rection. But speaking of cornetists, I'll ask, if I may, If you ever heard our talented Viola play. Indeed, a Sophomore orchestra we verily could own, Peggy at the piano, Kenneth with the slide trombone, I've already spoken of our cornetists and their vlm, And, too, we have Elsie's and Royal's violins, Then Hans with traps and drums-it's com- plete, I say, We'lli be glad for you to listen to them some ay. If it's a soloist you ask for, we'll have our Sally trill, And should you care for giggling, that part, too, she could fill. In patriotism we are not lacking, For Harold L. Bolton believed not in slacking, But joined the navy early last spring, So how can we help his praises to sing? We hope that we all can do our bit Most of us have bought Thrift Stamps, and the girls have learned to knit. So now ends the tale of this largest class In Waverly High School-I hope we'll all pass, And be a credit to the Junior year, And the Senior, too, so you yet may hear More tales of what we still may do, And new accomplishments we'll plan for you.

We hark back to the history of the Professor Grant, the athletic young Cramer and his instrument of frightfulness the rubber tube, and to Sheakley with his winning way. iVe remember John McFarland, kindly Scotchman, who rang the old bell for years on yearsg we remember Professor Sampson, a good Meth- odist and a great arithmeticiang and Frank Munger, serious-minded principal of the high school, who, some of us believe, has never recovered full confidence in us, even today as he looks at us over his counter at the bank. Few people in Waverly know all of these names. They are in the ancient history of twenty-tive, thirty-live and forty-five years ago, but their influence and that of their later successors has been incalculable on the five hundred eighty-seven men and women who have passed thru the school. We believe our schools have grown and kept step with any other in the country. New courses, new methods and studies have been accepted as they have been developed. The classes have grown each year, until the class of '18 is as large as the whole high school was forty years ago. Housings have been built, and have also been denied, when the paying people of Waverly have deemed it wise. No man or woman was ever ashamed to have been a graduate of the Vvaverly High School. Since 1875, forty-one classes have graduated. This does not include the best and most important one of all-the Class of '18. As the president of the Alumni association, l greet you. Hail and welcome, the forty-second class of Wfaverly High! Wie knew your dads when they were regular devils in this town, and we knew your sweet mothers when we could tell their ages by the shortness of their skirts. They are square men and good women, and your heritage is great. The freest oppor- tunity has been given you by VVaverly to tit yourselves to take part in its life and the life of the good old U. S. A. Waverly is your own home town, and after your country, merits your utmost loyalty. W'e can give you a better job than any other place in the world, hoping that you speedily grow too big for it, and then make the job big enough for you. H. G. ST.

No other term could be applied to it. In no game did the team play the ball they were capable of playing. Lack of an efficient coaching system and some dissen- sion among the players, added to the fact that some of them were ineligible, were the main factors in causing such an unsuccessful season. At the beginning of the season, not much interest was shown by the boys of the school, and only a score of candidates reported for practice. The first game, with Nashua, was lost by a score of 13 to 0. Stage-fright at first was the cause of the defeat. 'Ihe second game, wlth Hampton, was won by Hampton, 33 to 0. The team showed improvement, but the line showed up as the weak spot, and the offensive did not have the punch to it. The Charles City game was the best of the season. In the last two minutes of play Charles City scored on a long pass and won, 7 to 0. The team was greatly improved, and but for having luck against them, would have won the game. The next three games were loosely-played contests. Independence won, 14 to 0, Cedar Falls, 38 to 6: the other was a walk-away for Oelwein, with a score of 89 to 0. That was the last game of the season, except for a practice contest with Plainfield, which was won, 67 to 0. The Osage game was called off because of the smallpox scare. Thus ended the season of 1917. All honor is due to Captain Morgan, but it was demonstrated that one man cannot make up a successful team, and that no successful season can be had until there is a better un- derstanding between players and coach. PROSPECTS The next year's team, under Captain-elect Lynn Saylor's guidance, has the chance of re- deeming the lost prestige of Waverly High. A wealth of material from this year's team will be back next year. Linemen in Lynn, Hoeger, Ingham, Brandon, Meyerhoff and Colburn are left. From these a forward wall of great strength and endurance can be had. With Say- lor, Hunt, Harrington, Brandenburg, and the two Grassfields back atgain, some gains ought to be negotiated aroun the ends and thru the me. Who the coach next year will be is uncer- tain. If the school board loosens up and breaks up the old rule of self-supporting ath- letics, and hires a man who is up on the latest things in football, the team seems assured of successg at least, more successful than last year's ill-faring team. THE RESERVES In the witnessing of a football game, one is so much engrossed with the watching of the Varsity battling for its school's honor, that one often forgets the scrubs sitting on the side-lines, or, mayhap, left at home. The scrub receives none of the honor, none of the glory and praise that so often falls to the Varsity men. Their portion is nothing but the hard knocks and bruises they receive from the varsity in the practice. So, in commemoration of the scrubs this is written. It is hard to be an 'also ran' but still worse to be one who ran not at all , and sometimes, also, the ffalso ran deserves as much praise, or more, than the one who made the team. So here's to the scrubs ! May there be many next year, and may they receive their hard knocks again. ' FOOTBALL FEEDS On December 21, the members of the foot- ball team met in a reception for themselves and their friends. At this time a review of the season was read, a farewell to the Seniors who were on the team and a captain for next year's team was chosen. Lynn Saylor was chosen to lead the 1918 team. Also a gift was presented to Mr. Wright in recognition of his loyal sup- port of the team. Luncheon was served at the close of the program. THE TEAM CAPTAIN CECIL MORGAN- Mick Mick was the main-stay of the team. Always there to back up the play, and was half the defense. A punter equal to almost any in the state, he was never out- punted. His loss will be a big one to the team. CAPT.-ELECT LYNN SAYLOR- Boney A fighter from the word go. Started out in his first game like a whirlwind, and kept it up for the rest of the season. His battle-cry at end was, Send 'em around this way and I'll get 'em. He al- most always 'fgot 'em too. KENNETH LYNN-- Fat Fat man of the team. Played a whale of a game at tackle, and was a sure ground- gainer when called back. Great things are expected of Fat next year. HAROLD HOEGER- Broad Another giant. Slow to anger, but mighty in his wrath. Look out for Broad next year. PAULUS GRAENING- Creamy Always there with the fight and the pep. First played at guard, but at last went to his natural position at center. He gradu- ates this year. KENNETH INGHAM- Dad Daddy Long-legs hated to start, but when he started he hated to stop. He'll be back next year. FRED HENNINGS- Fritz End and tackle. With his long arms and still longer legs, he sure could reach the passes. Leaves this year. CLARENCE HARRINGTON The speed demon on the team. He caught many of them from behind. Easy-going- 1918 THE PE RISCOPE 57 if he'd only get mad he'd go. Pep up there, Harry and show 'em next year. ART CHANDLER Art was one of the goats of the team. When some position was open, Art was called upon to fill it. Nevertheless, he was a regular. MARVIN .SCHLUTER- Pussy The other of the goats, and the hard luck guy. His job was the same as Art's. HIRAM HUNT- Hi Midget quarter-back. The little David of them all. About half the size of some he tackled, and he played twice as hard. He'll be back next year. HERBERT NOLTING- Heb Witty Heb . Always protesting that he couldn't play and that he'd get hurt-and then he'd go in and hurt the other fellow. He graduates this year, or says he hopes to. FLOYD RAECKER The human barrel and battering ram. The shortest man of the bunch, he was as heavy as most of them. He'll be here to ram the line some more. ROY COLBURN- Sine As his nickname intimates, without Colburn we couldn't play. Here's hoping he'll have the chance to boot more goals next year. He will also have to bear the burden of the punting next year. Here's luck to you, Roy. KENNETH SHEPARD- Shep One of next year's hopefu s. Shep says, 'They've got to quit kicking my dog around' next year -meaning himself, we suppose. GILBERT BRANDENBURG- Polly Always there with a smile. With a little more experience, Polly will go with the bestof them. ERWIN ISERMAN- Crazy As his name indicates, he just went crazy when he got the ball. And a crazy man is a dangerous man and must always be watched. Crazy fought all the time, and the more he fought the better he seemed to go. Fight harder next year, Crazy , we need you. J585R6ffJB8ll 'Review The basket-ball season of 1917-'18 was the most successful in recent years. The sea- son started out with a rush. With a wealth of experienced material, Coach Cleland, in the first game of the year, lined up a team that beat Nashua easily. The score was 17 to 13, in the enemy's territory. The second game of the year with Hamp- ton at Hampton was 30 to 18. The team went like a well-oiled machine and out-played its opponents all the way. The first home game of the year was with Nashua, who were again trimmed to the tune of 45 to 30. It seemed as if nothing could stop the team now. On January 25, the team journeyed to Osage, anticipating an easy victory. Over- confidence was rife and the team suffered as a 1'esult. Osage won in a loosely-played con- test by the score of 24 to 18. The least said of the game, the better, for the team seemed to have gone stale. The fifth game the Oelwein quintet were taken to a 32 to 18 trimming in one of the roughest games ever played on the Waverly fioor. It resembled a foot-ball game rather than a basket-ball game. Cedar Falls, the winners of the Cedar Valley League pennant, were next in line. The boys were overconficlent, allowed the visitors to run up a 12 point lead on them before they themselves scored. The game ended in a de- feat for Waverly, 27 to 17. The next game with Rockford was played at Rockford. Playing in a little 2 by 4 hole, the boys were defeated 34 to 44. The game scheduled with Greene for March 1 was canceled because of the school strike, so that the team was out of practice for the Tournament. Nevertheless the team journeyed to Cedar Falls determined to bring back the pennant or die fighting. ' THE TOURNAMENT. T he first game with Charles City, a team counted on to go to the finals. In a heart- breaking game the Waverly boys emerged vic- toriously by a 11 to 8 score. The guarding was the out-standing feature of the game along with the foul-throwing of Cap. Kohlmann. In the second round the plucky Greene team was downed. Morgan, center, stared in this game getting 8 out of the 11 points gar- nered by the team. The score was 11 to 9. The third game of the day found the team in an exhausted condition, but game. Playing on a large fioor against the Training School. the team went down to defeat, despite the bril- liant work of Morgan. The final score was 24 to 12. THE PERSONNEL OF THE TEAM. CAPT. ED. KOHLMANN.-Kohle was a fighter from way back. The sure shot on the team, he was largely responsible for the vic- tories won. Kohle will be back next year. CECIL MICK MORGAN-The star cen- ter and main-stay of the team when it came to floor work. In the whole season he never met a man who was his better. He was classed as one of the three best centers at the Tourna- ment. His loss will greatly be felt next year.

Waverly had an unusually fast 2nd team this year, playing 6 games, they won three competing against some first-class teams. There ought to be some good material left from this team for next year's first. Much credit is due to Coach Pearson for the good showing of the scrubs.

On the night of March 15, the members of the first squad of the B. B. boys were enter- tained by Mr. Cleland and his wife in the Domestic Science rooms. After a splendid banquet was served the boys were entertained by short addresses by Mr. Lang, of Waterloo, and Supt. Ray. On March 22, a B. B. reception for the entire school was held. A program of music and games was carried out successfully, after which a light luncheon was served. All re- ported a good time. Social events for the year were necessarily curtailed. Waverly High School has taken hold of the conservation plan of the govern- ment, and every event was much simplified. But this hasn't prevented their enjoying them- selves.

A group of sprinters was devel- oped in no time, the warm March weather helping along in the training. The first meet held at home on April 12 with Nashua was won 60 to 56. The cross-country run on the same day was taken by Nashua. Coach Pearson took the relay team to the Drake Relays on April 20. There, on one of the worst days in April, and running against the fastest teams in the state, the half-mile relay team took second place. The cold spring weather began to tell on the men, so that in the triangular meet held at Waverly with West Waterloo and Nashua the men were out of condition. But in spite of this fact we took second place. The next week was given over to prepara- tion for the quad meet at Nashua May 3rd. Only third place was acquired, the men not having rounded into the fine shape displayed at Drake. The feature of this meet was Iser- man's spectacular victory in the 100 yd. dash, beating his nearest opponent by two yards. Saylor and Grassfield finished well. Schluter grabbed up a first in the low hurdles. In the mile Graening showed a great deal of improve- ment, especially in form. The next week our greatest loss was real- ized when coach Pearson received his call to the army, where he had enlisted sometime pre- vious. So the team went to the Cedar Valley meet without a coach but nevertheless took third place. In this, the last meet of the sea- son, Schluter, Graening, Riedesel, and Hen- nings ran their last races for W. H. S. So closed Waverly's most successful track season. PROSPECTS. The prospects of next year's team are most bright and promising. Saylor, captain of this year's team, Grassfield, Harrington, and Iser- man will all be back and be able to take care of the dashes and the relays. Harry will also be able to run the hurdles in great style. Chambers and Hunt in the half mile, if they keep on improving, will make the best of them step next year.
