Bowlus Mr. Bowlus served as Trus- tee of our township from Jan- uary, 1919, to January, 1923. During his administration, and largely due to his untiring efforts, our schools have made splendid progress. Every en- terprise for the student's wel- fare, whether within or with- out the schoolroom, has re- ceived his unqualified backing. Wm. A. Hill Mr. Hill began his term as Trustee of our township, Jan- uary 2, 1923. At the very out- set he stated his ideal: to make our institution the very best that was possible. His in- terest, energy, and constant support can lead to but one conclusion: that he is a true friend and loyal supporter of education in our community. Q Harrison W. Frazier Mr. Frazier was elected County Superintendent, to succeed Mr. Evans in Feb- ruary, 1922. His ability and fair play make him a leader of education in Warren County. Page 5 YIKER ilu illivmnriam We believe our Annual would be incomplete if we did not dedi- cate one page of it to the memory of our friend, professor and county superintendent, Harry Evans. While better known to the alumni as a teacher, we know his life to be one with which none can find fault, and as county superintendent always ready and willing to do more than his office called for. Never tiring when endeavoring to do some one a favor, always fair in performing his oiiice duties, his thoughts were ever for the scholars and betterment of the school. The West Lebanon high school has lost a staunch friend and he will be rewarded for his works in that Great Beyond. While it seems that he was taken in the prime of life and at a time most needed, and with a future full of good things for us, yet the length of years does not always measure the length of a life. -C.

Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned As home his footsteps he hath turned, From receiving their instructions? If such there be, go call him down For him no high school yell abound. For four long years, our professor brave, Has labored hard our honor to save. And Jack, the tall and gallant fellow, Has taught us well, how rules to follow. From Miss Kelley we have learned Faithfulness should not be spurned. Miss Daniel's sweet voice has charmed all men As her kinsman charmed lions in their den. In this, our last year, from Greenfield came A lady of wide renown and fame. So, now, to you our teachers true We all bid a fond adieu. -M. Haupt, '23 Page 7 YIKER Page 8 RUSSEL W.

Page 15 YIKESR A Comedy Entitled Who Put the Sense in Nonsense or Where Do We Go From Here? By T. I. The author of Other Foolish People and Sonnets to Alice. Dedicated to Our Faithful, Faulty Faculty, Who Unreservedly Believe Nothing I Write i Prelude by Orchestra - - When You and I Were Young Maggie Prologue The curtain rises on a desolate scene, affecting the observer with that dull restless feeling of expectancy. In the center of the stage is a prisonlike building called the Home of Knowledge or School House. It is on the morning of September 12, 1919, when our play begins. EPISODE I Across the stage comes a troop of weaklings, animate Babes in the Woods, who hasten with anxious eyes into that formidable tower to meet their fate at the hands of those terrible awe inspiring gods, Lehner, Esarey, Ridenour, Melton and Megenity. The members of this kindergarten are Marie Bowlus, Warren Chavers, Estella Clem, Velma Evans, Ishmael Ewen, Frank Goodrick, Ethel Flesher, Orton Haupt, Miles Haupt, Harry Hipsher, Thomas Lowe, Bernard Miller, Laura Moxley, Marguerite Poulton, Margaret Hamar, Leo Simmerman, Clyde Strattan and Porter Williams. Their action is stilted for their scholastic brains cannot be over- taxed with the whirl of society. A close up under the limelight dis- closes these mere playthings of fate, engrossed in their books and studies which they loved so dearly. For one short interval they cast aside their literary pursuits Knot suitsl to entertain the members of the high school aggregation at an evening's entertainment of party games and tiddle-dy-winks. Again they enter into the realms of bright lights and take their best girls to a box supper, where they sit in straight-back chairs, munching food as noiselessly as possible. To enliven the monotony they get back to nature on two occa- sions and toast weiners, and incidentally their shins, at Hanging Rock. EPISODE II The same clan appears back stage, seemingly changed with one year's advancement in age and knowledge. One new member, Opal Heck, has been added to their number. This scene they have dubbed themselves Sophomores, which means, wise heads. Certainly it is judi- Page 16 YIKER ciously selected for their position is altered to one in proximity to the Senior goal. The beloved faculty, consisting of the near-gods, Lehner, Stuart, Kelley, Lockridge and Martin, gives them their best assistance in pick- ing the fruits of the Sophomore tree, which consist of Caesar Cand his ponyb, Geometry, English and History. Soon after the curtain rises a merry group of masqueraders is being entertained in the school building at a ghostly Hallowe'en party. Their pastimes are party games, muggins and dominoes. But the curtain falls too soon on this second, year. Once more they are left to shift for themselves for four long months of hard toil at their respective occupations of clover picking, apple knocking, and vamping in Fords. EPISODE III A The distinguished class of '23 appears on the stage again, in search of wider fame. Marie Sandahl has joined the literary organi- zation. Their co-workers are the ordinary humans, Lehner, Stuart, Kelley, Martin and Miss Daniel, the fairy of the fiery hair and trem- ulous voice. The'lights are dimmed to the nocturnal hue and they are seen at Hanging Rock, exploring the haunts of nature and romance. The lights brighten and the spot dazzler is flooded upon Cynthia Marie Bowlus of interstate renown, the canner of fame. But the cur- tain slowly falls and they are left to return to their fond parents and respective occupations of loafing. EPISODE IV When the curtain rises for the last time. It displays a fully grown, well-fed group, unsophisticated in appearance, and burdened with an abundance of knowledge. Christine DeBord of the Metropol- itan Judyville, is an addition to this varied organization. The faculty are only unimportant characters, being outclassed by the brilliance of the Seniors. They are the ordinary mortals, Lehner, Stuart, Kelley, Daniel and Hughes, last but not least. She of the bob- bed hair, teaches them the art of putting out an Annual, how to keep a sweet disposition, and many other things. Frivolity reigns for one short evening and their guests, the Jun- iors, bravelyq eat smoked steak and rocklike buns in the Domestic Science room. . The cloud of smoke from the burnt food lifts and behold a rustic scene greets the audience. Little Warren Chavers appears, front stage, leading his pet pig and flourishing many prize ribbons. Suddenly the entire high school appears ensemble in oriental at- tire, attempting to convince the audience that they are accustomed to kimonas and cherry blossoms. More drama follows, this time a mod- ern sketch entitled, The Colonel's Maid, and the beholders assent that he was fairly well made. ' Curtain Slowly Drops.

SENIOR CLASS Signed by said Miss Kelley in our presence, and by us declared to be our last will and testament and signed by us as witnesses in her presence and in the presence of each other. Witness-Bounce Lehner Attest, Velma Evans, '23 Witness-Spark Plug Prophecy Twenty years have passed and I've just arrived to be At a class reunion for the class of twenty-threeg At Hanging Rock where we decided for all of us to meet, And bring our baskets loaded with the freshest dainties sweet. Preacher Ishmael took me over to an aerial station near, Owned by Capt. Miles who was once my friend so dear. The rest had all arrived, except Estella and Marie, Who were at a school of music in a land across the sea. Spinster Sandahl and Miss Ethel put our luncheon all to show, They served it cafeteria as in our school days long ago. We each one ate so heartily, we did not fear to fill, For Drs. Chavers, Haupt and Strattan were there to cure the ill. After the eat was over, our experiences were told in rhymes, Porter said, he was a cartoonist for the Chicago Daily Times. There's Margaret and Opal, whom the boys so much adore, Each got married to a salesman before they were twenty-four. Each pupil in our class excelled and was noted for good work, Christine is now a Red Cross nurse and Velma is a clerk. The day is almost to a close and our visit it is through, Happy has been our meeting and We each must bid adieu. There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away, The happiest time in all our life was in the old school day. As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brakish though they be, Resolved: VVe all shall meet again in the year of sixty-three. -Leo Simmermon, '23 Page 19 YIKER Commencement Week Program Baccalaureate - - Sunday Evening, April 29 - - M.

I crave a brief indulgence of space in the Piker to mingle my thoughts with the swelling anthem of affectionate eulogy to your respect. I esteem and honor each and everyone of you for your energy and ability, to hold steadfast and true to the four years hard task. But remember that your life with its unknown duration, the usefulness of its labors, the benevolence of its feelings, the elevation of its sentiments, and the nobility of its character demands of you, that that duty go on. Ike Hall To the Class of 1923: Having completed your High School course, you may be placed upon your own resources. Choose now your life's work.

How does that sound? What does it mean? Did someone from Hillsboro, Covington, Veedersburg, Wallace, Am- bia or Pine Village use that expression? Oh no. That is an ex- pression used by several citizens of West Lebanon and school patrons of this vicinity. Truly, our gymnasium does not refer to a building of wood and concrete actually in existence at the time this book was published, but it does have a meaning almost as significant. Our gymnasium now expresses the hope, aspiration and determination, yes, even fighting spirit of the people in our community to bridge the gap from dreams to reality. When our gymnasium means a suitable place for the physical training of our boys and girls, and a place where the citizens of this part of Warren county can meet for re- creation or business, then West Lebanon will be the athletic, social and civic county seat. The needs and benefits of a gymnasium need no elaboration. Thousands of communities in the Middle West now speak proudly of our gym. But the How to get it? is the problem. There are three main points in salesmanship: to create an interest on the part of the prospect, to turn that interest to want and desire to possess, and to make this want and desire so strong that he is willing to part with his money. In the proposition, our gymnasium, we already have the interest, we already have the Want and desire. Can the third selling point, a willingness to part with the money, be carried over? As a fitting close to the basketball season, the members of the squad and their fathers were entertained at a banquet, March 22, given by the faculty at the B. 8: R. Hotel. The guests were, Fred Haupt and son, Ortong Clarence Haupt and son, Miles, Harley Long and son, Georgie, Ira Evans and son, Verling Thad Crow and son, Lowell, J. C. White and son, Jay, Allen Hipsher and son, Harry, C. A. Davies and son, Hugh, Porter Williams, William A. Hill, trustee, R. W. Lehner, manager of the team, Hal G. Chandler and Leslie Jones. Following a three course banquet, toasts and speeches were made by the guests. Each one expressed his interest in the basket- ball season, and an appreciation of Coach Stuart's efforts. The mem- bers of the squad presented him with a watch chain and knife. The dominant thought of every after-dinner speech was: Why can't we have a gymnasium? The enthusiasm was not based alto- gether upon the impulse of the moment, but was sanely founded upon the needs of our community and the facilities at hand for ful- filling those needs.

As a number we totaled twenty-six, Some impolite Juniors called us hicks. Often our spirits were cold and damp, But Virginia, our ingenue, Laura, our vamp, They made things lively while we worked away, Working and hoping to be Sophs some day. VVe had cases? Oh, yes! both Latin and love, But they have even those in the classes above. We had Virgil, too, not the study, Just mere boy, but to Laura a buddy. There were also Vera and Emmett, too: Vera rather fell for Gerald Blue. Edna Cox, our president, diplomatic, Ruled us easily and democratic. As the year wore by at a snail's pace, We found we had won out, in the first race. Delight and joy were everywhere, Only a few had some slight despair. Now we are Sophomores, happy and proud, Considering ourselves above the Freshie crowd. Jay White has done splendidly on the basket ball team: On him the rest of the Sophomores beam. We have Lucile Stevenson with us this year, Raymond always whispering in her ear. Grace Byers still works all the time, Opal is asking, When do we dine? Thelma and Florence are very sedate, I'm afraid an old maid will be their fate. Ossie and Geneva think school is bum, VVhile they sit and sit and pop their gum. Nevertheless, I maintain, that it's true, Utmost respect to Sophomores is due. -Opal Lane, '25 S-is for Sophomores, the class that is bestg O-is for Ossie, who teases the rest.

The purpose of the club was to increase the interest in the study of Latin and to add enjoyment to the dreaded formidable language. Meetings have been held every month at the home of the members. The programs consisted gener- ally of Latin games and contests and vocabulary matches. The good attendance at the meetings has indicated the interest in the or- ganization, and a better class spirit has been attained in the study of Latin.

The Domestic Science course has been unusually successful this year. The classes, under Miss Kelley, have made rapid progress in cooking. The course was given to the Senior and Freshmen girls, and also the Seventh and Eighth Grades. The Domestic Science room was lately enameled in white, which not only helped the appearance of the room but also lessened the work. The general group and individual equipment is adequate to carry out successfully the outline prescribed by the State Course. The period opened with the preservation of fruits and vegetables and cookery cereals. Next was milk and eggs, and the study of their values as food and their combinations. Later the different meats were experi- mented upon, as to tough and tender cuts, and their methods of serv- ing. This course has not only proven beneficial in the preparation of foods, but also in the study of the composition of each article. Menu making, serving dinners, including ways of serving, was taught to the classes. The care of the Domestic Science room gave excellent train- ing in the care of the kitchen. No doubt many good cooks will be the result of the training received by the class. . Mrs. Bowlus took charge of the classes the last semester during Miss Kelley's absence, and her assistance in the Work was greatly ap- preciated. From my rack of brains throughout the night, I tho't and tho't of a poem to Writeg But when morning dawned, I gave up in despair, For to write of the Seniors I did not dare. Mary had a little lamb Her father shot it dead And now it goes to school with her Between two hunks of bread. And now may I give my weary brain a long rest. For long they cannot stand this horrible test, From writing poetry and twisted up rhymes, I certainly had the very worst of times. -Margaret Pence, '24 A jolly little fellow is Clydie, His mischief he simply can't hydie, With 75 in deportment he passes But good grades he merits in all of his classes, This is the boy, our class prydie. Page 44 YIKER Vocational Agriculture Agriculture is essentially a practical arts subject. It is prepos- terous to assume that boys can become fully informed in the whole field of agriculture in one or two years. While information that can be directly applied to practical farm problems should be obtained by the boys who study agriculture, yet this is not the sole aim of the work. Agriculture, like other practical art subjects, requires that the pupil learn to do by doing. Then should result from school work the habit of putting into' practice the information gained through cllassroom discussion and laboratory experiments into direct contact with the actual problems of the farm home. Seeing the need of these principals Mr. C. M. Bowlus, in 1920, introduced Vocational Agriculture into the West Lebanon High School. From the very first the boys took a great deal of interest in the work. especially in the poultry course, and as a result some of them today own their own purebred flocks. The success that was had with the orchard is well known. The second year opened with a much larger class, Animal Hus- bandry and Farm Management being taught to the advanced classes and Botany and Horticulture to the beginners. During this year field trips were taken in Botany, studying trees, weeds and soils. Poul- try demonstrations were conducted by the class, and pruning and spraying were done in the Horticulture course. Some good judging of live stock was done in the Animal Husbandry class. Along with all of this several prizes were taken at the different fairs in the coun- ty with live stock and poultry. This last year Farm Management and Animal Husbandry were taught to Freshmen and Sophomores, and the methods followed were the same as the preceding year. The study of soils and crops was taken up by the Junior and Senior boys, many interesting experi- ments being tried out. Seed corn was gathered last year and tested this spring for germinating power and disease, wheat was treated for smut by the hot-water method, and every boy in the vocational class, with his father, is treating seed oats for smut. In addition most of the boys have gone into the potato club work with the idea of producing the best potatoes that were ever raised on their father's farms, as well as making a little money for school next fall. These are just a few of the things that the class is doing, and we expect to do even bigger things in the future. When Howard W. finished his proposition in Geometry he placed N. Q. F. at the end. Mr. Lehner- Why did you put N. Q. F. at the end instead of Q. E. D., Howard? ' Howard- That means not quite finished. Mr. Lehner- Oh, I've learned something new.

School News has appeared weekly in the West Lebanon Gazette, through the kind permission of Mr. Pomeroy, who has given us liberal space for the publication of our daily events. The organization has been arranged by the Seniors, with two members of the class acting as editors for each week and planning the dope sheet. Assign- ments for each topic have been made to the individual members, the style of writing criticized by the editors, and contributed to the Gaz- ette. A practical experience in journalistic writing has been ac- quired by the Seniors through this activity. A debate was held Tuesday afternoon, February 6, 1923, in the Assembly before the student body on the subject, Resolved-That France is Justified in Entering German Territory. The aflirmative side was represented by Margaret Hamar, Marie Bowlus and Warren Chavers. The negatives were Ethel Flesher, Estella Clem and Clyde Strattan. The judges, who were Mrs. Clow, Rev. Dean and Miss Dan- iel, decided in favor of the affirmative. Both sides brought out many strong points on the current topic, and showed a good preparation of the subject by their manner of delivery. Page 48' V I YIKER - -- Society The Junior Class gave a weiner roast at Hanging Rock, Thurs- day, September 21.

I had been walking in the woods and, being somewhat tired and in no hurry to get home, had lain down under a huge tree to rest. Presently I fell asleep and on waking found it a hard matter to get up, but once on my feet my strength seemed to come back to me. It was getting dark, so I thought I must hurry home, as the witches might find me alone in the woods and my friends would never hear of me again. I walked for sometime and thought it about time to be nearing home, when I discovered what seemed to be lights, hang- ing from poles set in the ground. In coming beneath one of these I found it to be a wire or something burning in a bottle. I marvelled at these facts, not remembering the lights being there, and thinking it the work of witches. I started on, wanting to get out of the neighbor- hood as soon as possible for fear they might still be near. I looked around and the sight I saw made me shudder. Coming down the road, right straight at me, was an awful monster with big eyes, which was making an awful noise, the like of which I had never heard. With one swift glance in its direction, I started running with all my might. 1 brought up against a nearby tree with a crash and thinking that fate had given me an avenue of escape I climbed up as fast as I could. It did not stop at my tree but kept tearing along the road toward town. I later learned that it was a Ford and nothing to fear whatever, but at the time, I thought it must be the devil himself. Being certain that I had not been seen, I climbed down and went on my way toward town, which I did not recognize at all. After wandering around a while, trying to find out where I was I came to the business part of town. Here I saw people all going the same direction. Oh! the horrible clothes these people wore. I hid my face in my hands for shame, then remembering that all the people wore that kind I followed the crowd. They went into a building and sat down. I supposed it was a church at first, but it wasn't. Present- ly some words appeared on the wall above and in front of us. They said Mack Senett's Bathing Beauties. Who was Mack Senett? I had never heard of him. Then some people came where the words had been. 1 will not describe them. One look was enough for me. l got up and ran outside and never stopped until I got out into the country. Soended my first visit to West Lebanon. -Orton Haupt, '23 The Lights That Failed As Little Boy Blue sped along on the highway to the prairies, at sixty per in his antique Interstate, with the soft hum of the engine purring its contentment on the familiarity of this macadamized via, and the canary birds and the nightingales crooning in the hedgerows, his heart was beating wild with joy because it seemed to him that with his Goldie Locks, his smooth-running Interstate, and a good Page 54 YIKER moon, nothing could be rarer than to be on the prairie in the even- mg. He reached the parental homestead, called Yoo-Hoo! and greeted his lassie with a look of serenity, and then she took her usual place by his side and they rolled away for an evening's spin. Soon dusk had come upon them and Little Boy Blue touched the light switch, and behold, a faint flicker gleamed in the road ahead. Just as the lights came on the engine began to sputter, and as unbelievable as it seems, this great motor became a silent one. Natur- ally Boy Blue looked at the gas meter but lol it had ceased to func- tion, though the tank measured exactly three-fourths of a gallon-all was well there. Next he tried the starter and hurrah! the engine hummed beautifullyl Ah, said Boy Blue, I knew it wouldn't re- fuse. But when again he turned on the lights, the engine sputtered and ceased its purring, his heart failed him, for his faithful car stead- fastly refused to go. Now the illumination from the street cars of West Lebanon could be seen a short distance away, but his heart again failed him when he thought of leaving his beloved, that he might walk to the city for as- sistance. And besides this thought, the night owls had begun their evening's conversation, and this did not add to his bravery, so Boy Blue, with a sigh and yet with a look of contentment said, My love, we shall have to wait for the dawning, for I fear the engine is dead. But Goldie Locks said consolingly, Don't worry, my dear, it has plenty of company. And it is still thought by all of our High School students that it was here that Little Boy Blue's blush originated. -Estella Clem, '23 .iliil The Day Before Finals 'Twas the day before finals, and all through the school Not even small Clydie had broken a rule, The pupils were studying with all of their might In hopes that they'd get every answer just right. The Freshies looked worried, the Sophomores, too, But the Juniors and Seniors knew just what to do. Each one took an apple, a flower, or a book, And gave them to teachers, with sly, knowing looks. ' But the teachers had seen that old trick worked before, So the Juniors and Seniors could use it no more. And when Mr. Lehner went up on the stage, The two upper classes glared back in a rage. He was dressed all inf black, oh, how nice he did look, And under his arm was a little brown book. He looked solemn and wise, a quite serious elf, And he frowned when he saw them in spite of himself. He excused them at once, then he said just for spite, All those not exempt take their books home tonight. -Marvel Scowden, '24 Page 55 Y I K ER When Basket Ball Was in Bloom Once upon a time, long, long ago there dwelt a beautiful maiden in the fairy kingdom of West Lebanon. This maiden whose name was Dorothy, had been given the honorary title of Lady Dot, by Queen Pal. In this kingdom was an Order of Knights who called them- selves The Basket Ball Team. All the brave knights, who had per- formed great feats of honor in Basket Ball, belonged to this Order. Amongst these strong and loyal knights was a certain knight, who on account of his courageous fighting as a back guard, was called Sir Hor- ton, the Prince. His fighting was a splendid example of the true spirit of Basket Ball and won for him the love of many fair ladies of the land. Forsooth, in truth these ladies were very jealous of Lady Dot, whom Sir Horton had chosen for his lady love, and tried to injure her with the aid of the wicked fairy, Lelia. Now Lady Dot was a fairy and not a mortal, as they had sup- posed. She was changed to the form of an ugly old witch, by the wicked fairy. Then she lived very unhappily, in a small cottage, all alone except for a large black cat, in the great Forest of Knowledge. Near this cottage the four rivers, the Freshman, the' Sophomore, the Junior and the Senior, fiowed into a larger river, the High School. One day the old witch heard a knock at the door and after peeping out the window she allowed a bright-faced. maiden to enter. The maiden said, I have lost my Way along the shores of the Junior river and cannot find my path to the kingdom of State Line. O, please show me the way because my father will whip me if I do not return before night. The old witch thought that now was her chance to gain her free- dom from the power of the wicked fairy, so she said, If you will do as I say, I will aid you. The maiden quickly replied, I will do anything you request. So while stirring a steamy odorous mixture, in a large black pot, the old witch chanted the following instructions to her: Follow your nose when you leave this door until you reach the bank of the river you can now see. Heri upon this bank are several trees, go to the third tree. There a jolly looking dwarf named, King Lehner, wearing spectacles, will give you an apple from the tree which he guards. Do not be frightened when you see sitting near him a large, fierce dog called Bounce, having eyes as large as tea cups. This dog is a great pet and will harm no one, unless ordered to do so. Near the next tree you will see a giantess wearing long flowing robes, and on her head a square hat. They have named her the Magic Marge. At first you will think she is serious and grave, but look again. This time you notice the bobbed hair, the twinkling eyes and smiling lips, and you will decide that she is a good natured giantess. Guard carefully the apple which you receive from her. Very near this tree is another tree, also guarded by a giant, who at first you thought to be the shadow of the first giant, but you will Page 56 YIKER I. soon find out the difference. It is Prince Stuart. He will smile and say, Hello, and then allow you to pass on by. A few feet from this tree you will meet a fairy, the Lady Marcia, whose face will tell you what a sweet, kind-hearted creature she really is. A tall slender fairy Queen Reggie, will be with her. Each will give you an apple. Bring the fruit to me. , The maiden departed and soon returned with the fruit. The witch eagerly seized the apples and took a bite from each one. Sud- denly the maiden was surprised to see the witch take the form of Lady Dot. Lady Dot explained to her what had happened, then told her how to find her way. She was so happy that she gave her the title of Lady Marvel, and she also told her that she would soon meet her future husband. Now all this came to pass, Lady Marvel met Sir Zeb, a noted knight of the Basket Ball team. They fell in love at first sight so they with two others, Sir Haupie and Lady Ethel, eloped, taking a preach- er, D. Chavers, with them. They were married while flying over the fiourishing town of Marshfield in a large airplane, called Old Betsy. Lady Dot returned to the castle of her wicked uncle, Sir Georgia. One day she escaped from the castle with Sir Horton, the Prince, and after many thrilling adventures, while Horton was trying to drive the great Rolls Royce with one hand, they reached the castle and there they were married. And so they lived happily ever after. -Vera Byers, '24 . The Wise Heads When the Freshman class of twenty-five Entered this school they were very much alive. They looked to the Seniors so dignified, And by all the rules they did abide. We chose our colors of Purple and Gold, And we made a good choice so we are told, At any rate the basket ball team Has to hand it to us for their color scheme. Some weren't able to distinguish D. S., Algebra, Latin, English, A few thought it all quite foolish and tame, By demerit slips they were put to shame. Of our social functions we can boast- A taffy pull and two Weiner roasts, And the ones who came February tenth To our Valentine party do not repent. Ancient History's a thing of the past, But in future pages will appear at last In spite of facts also tradition, Names of Sophs with fired ambition. -Edna Reese, '25 -Grace Byers, '25 Page 57 QPIKER Learnin' to Pass I go to scoole every day an when the belle buzzes at half past eight we all set down in our seats on the Weast side of the room. Some of us studies and some of us whispers if the teachers don't hapin to be aroun.

The aim of this schoole is to pas an I hope we all know how by spring. -Charlotte Handley, '26 Plea of the Blackboard Just think of the many times that I am abused. Those teachers don't care what they write about me. Miss Daniel always has the Geisha girls on the board at 4:00. In Jack's room the Sophomores weight me down with long heavy problems. And Miss Hughes informs the Seniors in English IV to take the life of Shakespeare tomorrow. Scandalous! Very interesting conversations occur in the English room, between two people. They get so tired they have to lean on me to rest their weary bones. Now what if I would fall in, oh! they would fall in, toog but what would they fall into? Well it's hard to tell. -Velma Evans, '23 A Soliloquy of the Clock I think everything is one-sided. Here I am, hung up on the wall to be looked at by every one. Then once in a while, when I'm not feeling well and slow down on my work, Mr. Lehner punches my face with the yard stick. Consequently everyone laughs and thinks it's funny. Sometimes the janitor lets the fire get low and my hands get cold. Then's when I feel like saying, Good-bye, cold world, and ending it all. -Orton Haupt, '23 Page 58 'QPIKEZR A Wandering Mind Well, I must get this old Latin lesson. I think it is entirely too long for a Freshie. I suppose the concert will be good tonight, and that the girls will have on stylish dresses. That was a fine dress that the girl wore, the last number. We have to decline suus-a-um in full. Suus-sua-suum-sui- su- ?-Oh, what is the rest of it? I wonder if the C. I.C. is having a good time at their party and I would like to know what they are doing. Suae-sui-suae-su--I expect my table runner will be dry by tomorrow so I can roll it up and take it home. Suo-suum-suam, suum-suo-sua-sua-su. Well, I'll have to look at the declension of bonus-a-um. I wonder if Louise Pfeifer has her lesson, if she has, is it right? I suppose she has it for she usually does. Suis-no that's not right. I can't work that twenty-fifth problem in Algebra and I'll have to ask Mr. Lehner to help me at recess. I am as far as suorum-suarum-suorum-su-I hope Miss Daniel will let us sing some new songs today. I would like to know what Miss Hughes will say in Latin class. She is usually wound up when she comes to class and she generally has a lot to say. Suis-suis-suis-su-Gee, I wish I knew what that girl is say- ing to Miss Kelley and what Miles is looking at behind the piano. It must be terribly funny for he is laughing so about it. I don't see why Miss Hughes called vicus we cuss for I al- ways want to say it everytime I try to say vicus. Gee, I wonder if I'll get a note from Woody today. Kinda wish he'd take me a ride, but I wouldn't want anybody to know that I wished it. Suos-suas-suos-no, sua-su-I hope there will be a large crowd at the Basket Ball game tomorrow night. I wish we could win. Suis-suis-suis-there I have that old lesson completed! Oh! boy, ain't it a Grand and Glorious Feelin'! -Juanita Chandler, '26 Bluffs There are many kinds of bluffs. For instance, the geographical bluffs, a hill along the river or creek, like the ones at Hanging Rock. There are Basket Ball bluffs who think they can play, but can't and people feel sorry for them. There are class bluffs, the worst bluffs of all bluffs. They usually think they can get by with anything. Some of them are like other bluffs-they are steep and rocky. Most teach- ers admire a good bluff, but the strategy of this said bluffer, is usu- ally discovered. My advice to the West Lebanon pupil is to avoid such attempts. -Margaret Hamar, '23 ' Page 59 YIKER Page 60 The Janitor Man The Janitor man, he nxes things, And sweeps and dusts and cleans and cleans, And locks the doors and windows, too, And that's enough for him to do. For he has helpers, too, you see, And keeps them as busy as can be. He builds the fires and shovels coal, And smiles to see the black smoke roll. VVhen he thinks it's a going to storm He makes it awful nice and Warm, And shuts the windows and the door, And we just sit and let it roar. So We all like the Janitor man. Janitor, Janitor, Janitor man. -Orton Haupt, '23 YIKEK IX itnfii Testy Tough Tongue Twisters The Freshies fool the faculty frequently. Miles met Miss Marvel making matches Monday morning. Clyde couldn't cut capers cause Ching-ah-Ling came creeping cauti- ously. Daily does Dot do duties diligently. Cynthia couldn't catch Charles cause Clarence caught Cupid.
