Myster- ious! No! Not to ourselves but we seemed to be to the upper class- men. The Seniors of ' 19 and ' 20 could not get over laughing and remarking about the wild and peculiar Freshies. We were good sports and took it good naturedly. We wrestled with our studies, ex- aminations, and other difficulties which appeared during the year (such as influenza,) coming out victorious. However, the studies and exams conquered four of our number and we were compelled to leave them in the Freshman class for another year. The following autumn twenty one cheerful pilgrims (so to speak,) plus Mabel Rich of Crawfordsville, took up the Sophomore duties. Long will be remembered the happy hours spent in the northeast class room where we abode most of the time under the supervision of Mrs. Baum- gartner. This was due to the overcrowded condition in the assembly room. During this year we were compelled to say goodbye to Alta Bos- hart, who left for California. After energetic and concentrated study we overcame the hardships of Geometry, Medieval and Modern His- tory and Latin. We had several social gatherings during the year, in- cluding the picnic at Fern Cliff the last afternoon of school. The pic- nic was certainly enjoyed by all present although the majority had sore arms as a result of the smallpox vaccination. We departed feeling cer- tain we would enjoy a pleasant vacation and again assemble the follow- ing school year. But a few weeks later, Dwight Musselman departed to his future home in Bluffton, Ohio. In September 1920, seventeen of our number, and Oleta Smith of Mt. Pleasant, entered High School. The building having been altered during the summer, made it seem unnatural for a few days. We had several social gatherings during the year, including the field trips con- nected with our study of Biology, and diffe rent class meetings. We chose Silver and Old Rose, and the Tea Rose for our class colors and Page Nineteen C THE ; ECLIPSE • 1922 flower respectively. In spite of our ups and downs which were the natural outcome of so many different individuals trying to decide upon one thing, we entertained the Seniors of ' 21 at a reception at the home of Freda Barr. The rooms were decorated in the colors and flowers of the two classes. The evening was spent in playing various games after which refreshments were served. All present had a very delight- ful time. The year closed very successfully because the entire class was promoted to the Senior Year. September of 1921 called us back to our old places. Marjorie Gold- smith and Oleta Smith failed to answer the roll call. Marjorie ans- wered the roll in Washington, while Oleta dropped out of school. Never- theless there were eighteen Seniors, because Hayward Speidel and Re- lendes Wood put on their skates and caught up with the class after they had slipped and fallen in 1920. The year before us seemed very much crowded with work. Besides laboring with our studies, we se- lected our class pins and rings, made arrangement for putting out a High School Annual to be called The Eclipse, and did the many other things which confront a graduating class. We do not know whether the class of 1922 has benefitted the High School but we do know that we have profited by our attendance here the past four years. Some of our number are distinguished by being on the football team, or basketball teams. Others are members of the High School orchestra and Girls ' Glee Club. Still others are valuable assets to the Literary Societies and the other high school activities. The class of ' 22 has the distinction of being the largest class to graduate from the Wayland High School and the first class to gradu- ate from the Consolidated School District of Wayland. —0. G. W.

Since this was our first year in High School, we had not learned the art of conscientious study but did not want for entertainment and social affairs. Among these were a wiener roast given for our initiation, a party at the Opera House, and a good old time Last Day of School picnic with the Sophomores for the closing event of our Freshman year. Three months later we were enrolled as Sophomores. This year we witnessed the first girls basketball team that Wayland has had for several years. One of our girls succeeded in winning the place of run- ning center on the first team, where she proved her ability in athletics as she did in other activities. One of our boys was a star forward on the first team, while several others did excellent work on the second team. As an organization we did not neglect social affairs for we were delightfully entertained at the homes of Verda Rich and Ruth Roth. At the close of the term two of our best members, Ruth Roth and Glenn Schowalter, left our class and entered Ottumwa and Washington High Schools, respectively. We have won half the victory and expect to gain the other half by pushing forward continually until the goal is reached. Now we ' re Jun- iors, a class of seven boys and seven girls. The idea of procuring class rings in the junior year instead of the senior year as heretofore, was or- iginated by our class. The closing event of our Junior year will be the annual Junior-Senior reception. Here ' s to the Juniors. May they always prove faithful and loyal to the dear Old Purple and White. — R. R, and D.

We were the first class to enter High School after the building had been remodeled. After six weeks of diligent study, we were fairly well accustomed to high school routine and upper class sarcasm, and were given our final initiation at a weiner roast. At the end of another six weeks one of our members became dis- heartened and dropped out, We lost two more members before the end of the first semester. Marriage claimed one, the blue devils of dis- couragement another. During the second semester we took part in school activities which were then confined chiefly to literary societies and school athletics. Later in the year one of our number moved away. The remain- ing struggled on and at the end of the year were weary but wiser. How much wiser — only a Freshman can tell and he never does. The summer passed happilv and the fall brought back fifteen am- bitious Sophomores. Paddy Magdefrau represented the class on the athletic field and what would the Basketball team have done without Paddy to tip ' em off at center! Our Sophomore year will be remembered as one of hard study. Caesar and Geometry!! Oh memories that bless and burn. But what ' s done is done. The first half of our high school career is ended. Let it be said of us that we have tried. — W. L. and E. W.

At the beginning of the school year, Wayland High School wit- nessed the largest Freshman class in its history, numbering thirty- seven. Judging from the fact that three girls have made the first basketball team, five girls the Girls ' Glee Club, three boys the football team, and six the band, the Freshmen are readily showing their ability to take up High School activities of all kinds. About the middle of the year our class lost four of its loyal mem- bers, Clarence Wittrig, Alice and Myron Noble, and Vernon Gerig. We are only little Freshmen, With three more years yet to go, So how can we tell of our glory When there ' s so much left to know. — E. K. and V.

The members are chosen from the Freshman class each year by the president or a representative chosen by the society. The society does not confine its membership to pupils of any particular ability, but has as its aim, unity and democracy in learning. This year two programs were given. Essays, readings, original stories and musical numbers were among the interesting features of them both. The members feel that the training they have received has been very valuable and that this has been the most successful year of the society.

The president or a representative chosen by the society, chooses the new members each year from the Freshman class. The object of the society is to unite for mutual benefit, both socially and intellectu- ally. The society has given two programs during the year, which show- ed much skill in the varied and appropriate selections. Each number was well given and the programs were received enthusiastical ly by the audiences.

The year 1921-1922 may well boast of being the most flourishing year along musical lines in the history of the Wayland High School. The Girl ' s Glee Club contributed greatly toward making the musi- cal activities of the school a success. Some excellent talent was dis- covered during the formation of their organization. Both the Philomathean and Aurora girls ' quartets were a credit to the societies to which they belonged. Their selections were enthus- iastically received by those who attended the programs. The High School Male Quartet made its debut at one of the Lit- erary programs. Their ensemble singing was appreciated because of the excellent phrasing, enunciation and interpretation. Another feature of the musical year was the organization, by Prof. Baumgartner, of the first school band. Few of the members owned in- struments before the organization of this band, but showed their en- thusiasm by faithfully coming to the weekly rehearsals and prepar- ing themselves for public concerts. They are a peppy bunch and have given their loyal support to all High School activities. We may well feel proud of our school band for this present group will form the nucleus for Wayland ' s future band. PERSONNEL OF BAND DIRECTOR — PROF. M. W.

Although this was the first year for a Glee Club in Wayland High School, it proved to be a great success. The girls have been called upon on many occas- ions to furnish music for school and church activities and have never failed to respond. Near the close of the year, they gave an Indian operetta entitled Feast of the Red Corn by Paid Bliss. The staging and Indian cos- tuming were very effective and the music was up to.

A record of having won 21 games out of the 24 games played, and having lost none by more than three points, is one ' to be envied by schools many times larger and better equipped than ours. One of the main factors contributing to the success of the team was the whole souled and hearty cooperation that was shown them b the community. Another reason was due to the wealth of letter material. With the Wood Bros., Speidel, Henss and Stuart back again all with two or more years of experience the outlook surely was bright. The second team also contributed some excellent material, and at times the prac- tices more resembled real games than practices. Let us not forget, however, that the greatest factor for our success in basketball was the efficient work of Coach Hochstettler. Due to the fact that Wayland High School has defeated the strong- est teams in Southeastern Iowa tournament by substantial scores, and has had such a successful season, we have a just right to claim the Southeastern Iowa Championship. Page Fifty-four : THE ECLIPSE - 1922: WILLIS WOOD (Capt.) Captain Billy we can truthfully say is one of the fastest little guards that Wayland has ever pro- duced. His speed and consistency practically always kept his opponents from scoring and in this way saved many a game for The Purple and White. He graduates this Spring alter having played four years of High School basketball and we feel that the college that gets him next year will be lucky. HA Y WART) SPEIDEL Swede our trusty old basket guard has the repu- tation of always meeting the ball and the man at just the psychological moment. This trait won for him a berth on the Southeastern Iowa all-star team and was no small factor in uphold- ing Wayland ' s supremacy on the basketball floor. Hayward also will be lost by graduation, having fin- ished his fourth year of high school basketball, and is a man of College or Univer- sity caliber. RELENDES WOOD When one sees a great freight engine go thunder- ing by, one is reminded of the way in which Dutch plays Basketball. He is known by his peculiar char- acteristic of playing just as hard and fast as he can and keeping at it for tha entire game. A large i.ar+ of the creditable showing that W. H. S. made at the tournament was due to the heady teamwork and the matchless basket-shooting of this plucky little forward. lC THE ECLIPSE -1922 ] RALPH STUART Butch was the high scorer of the team and this in itself gives one a good idea of how quick and fast this speed demon really is. Visiting teams say that he has the bad habits of shooting baskets at any angle, from any place, and of never staying covered up. This is Ralph ' s third year and we are glad that, he will be back next year as a nucleus for another winner. LEO MAGDEFRAU This was Paddy ' s first year on the team but we do not offer any apology for his playing, for it needs none. The fact that W. H. S. usually got the first basket was because of the fact that Paddy ' s feet seemed to forget all about the laws of gravity. A dogged stick-to-it-ive- ness with a confidence that never flagged was one of the characteristics that Leo gave to the team. He has two more years of Basketball ahead of him and is another of next year ' s veteran pill-tossers. PAUL HENSS When one thinks of Paul, the word dependable pops into mind. He is another one of the tall boys who knows how to use his longitude to his own advantage upon a Bas- ketball floor. He plays guard and forward with equal ease and when once he gets the ball, it is on its journey to- ward the basket. He is a sportsman through and through and knows how to take defeat as well as victory and we are glad to say that he is another of next year ' s veterans, hav- ing pla yed for three years. Page Fifty-six- C THE ECLIPSE ] 19212) ) PAUL McCLINTIC This was also Big John ' s first year as a first team man and we are glad to say that he has made good. As any of his opponents, upon the Basketball floor will readily admit he is as tough as wire, as ac- tive and wary as a wild cat — all of which are essential qualities of a good guard. It was largely through these qualities of his that many scores were saved, thus making the baskets shot by his teammates count for more. Paul is a Junior and is in line for more Big time stuff next year.

Therefore the showing at the beginning of the season was not the best, but the boys were willing and eager to carry on the sport to the best of their ability. They practiced diligent- ly and profited by their mistakes and as a result, by the last of the sea- son they had developed into a team of which we can well be proud. The community supported us whole heart edly and the fact is af- firmed in the minds of all that football will be the leading sport next season. Captain Stuart starred throughout the entire season, proving that his office was a deserving one. Zehr was chosen Captain for the com- ing season. The team is unfortunate in losing several of their good players because of graduation, but there is a wealth of new material ready to step in and fill the vacancies. Next year ' s team will, no doubt, be much stronger than this year ' s team because of their ex- perience which is a very essential factor in developing a good football team. Much of the success of our football season is a result of our com- petent coaching on the part of Mr. Hochstettler. Hurrah Boys— Beat Olds Again.

A jolly good time was enjoyed by all who went on these hikes and the girls think they received great benefits from them. They at least sharpened their appetites. Page Sixty-three- ft g THE • ECLIPSE 1922 ) Transportation Department With the advent of consolidation came the problem of transporta- tion. The board of education decided to buy three motor busses and these busses had very few tardy marks to their discredit during the school term, even while the roads at times seemed impassible. Eighty-two children were brought in from the rural districts by these hacks every morning and what a bright happy group of rural children they were, too. There were no more wet feet nor frozen fin- gers and ears, with the tears running down their cheeks as in the days of old, when they greeted their teacher in the morning. Some of us are often opposed to a new movement just as our par- ents were opposed at first to the rural free delivery of mail, the rural telephone and the automobile. But these conveniences have established themselves with such a firm grip upon the farmer folks that they would fight to the last trench were they to be deprived of them. The same state of affairs will come about with the motor busses when we get accustomed to the new role. Fred Klopfenstein, Carl Hensley and Fred Hixson were the congen- ial drivers and piloted their precious cargoes over the routes thru- out the year without an accident. Frank Forbes also brought in eleven children from the Cottonwood district in a horse drawn hack. The boys and girls from the rural districts have enjoyed the same educational advantages that their town cousins have and will long re- member the first year of consolidation of our schools from the stand- point of transportation.

Now we figure the thing out far dif- ferently: Eve eight and Adam eight also — total 16. We think the above figures are en- tirely wrong. If Eve eight and Adam 82, certainly the total will be 90. Scientific men, however, on the strength that the antidiluvians were giants, reason something like this: Eve 81 and Adam 82 — total 163. Wrong again. What could be clearer than if Eve 81 and Adam 812 the total was 893? I believe the following to be the true solution: Eve 814 Adam and Adam 8124 Eve — 8938. Still another calculation is as follows: If Eve 814 Adam. Adam 81242 oblige Eve, total 82 056. — Exchange. Mrs. Baumgartner: What does this 60 mean on your exam paper?
