L THE WEST PLAINS HIGH SGHUUL NVESJT PLAINS HIGH SCHOOL History of West Plains High School The iirst school in Howell county was ln West Plains near the present site of the Academy of our Lady of the Ozarks. lt was only a small log house and was at that time the only school and church in this section. The flrst teacher as near as can be learned was Mrs. Lydia J. Hines. After a short time this school was abandoned and a building se- cured near the Cumberland -Rrasbyterian church. The building still stands. In 1880 the Old Central school was er- ected and four years later was enlarged to its present size. In 1888 the East and North Wards were added and in 1892 the Vilest Ward was built. Continuing to grow, the school system was further enlarged in 1904 when our present High school was built. This High School rapfdly grew and increased in standing until now we have been on the State's list of ac- credited schools for eight years and are now recognized by the Central College Union. This year the board decided that as the old Central was inadequate and unsafe, a new school must be erected. The building is now being built and will be modern in all its details. The addition of this building will give West Plains the most complete school system in South Missouri and with two large complete modern buildings, and three smaller yet efficient ward schools, we may well be proud of our town YELL.

Last Row-Geneva Pease, Herbert Mantz, P xyllis Dressler History of the Seniors .i-L-.l lt was in the tirst year of the reign of King Bray that the forces of the class- of 1914 first invaded the ranks of the High School. They were mighty in number, mighty in heart and, sad to relate, mighty in lreland's native color Well we remember that memorable day when we of short skirts and knickerbockers trooped in branded, with that awful name.Freshmen. Oh! who can tell of the fearful strife of those times while the rule of King Bray endured? Who can tell of the gauntlets to be run, of the lessons to be learned in that hard SCIIOOI of experience, that first year! Our leader a valiant youth was he, was Sir Herbert, now known as Pet-:-, and bravely he led us, e'e'i through the jaws of death and into the mouth of the Sophomore year. And now King Wif- liam I of the House of Melcher, in the course of human events, gained the throne and with all the majesty of the Caesars ruled his realm. But sad and shameful here is the story of '14, for our numbers have grown less by far: for some, seeing the enemies ahead, dropped back among that weaker part Of humanity, that class of 1915. Others lured on by the glow and glamor and false charms of that unlucky multitude the class of '13, thought to join it and deserted us. Hut did we stagger back with blinded hfzarts and fainting eyes? Nay, nay. We pressed onward until the battles were not so hard. The kingdom was more peaceful under the reign of Willie the Conqueror. So for s fong year 'mid rain and sun we grew till some were veritable giants in wisdom and know- ledge. And still the same king ruled when we as Juniors again took up the cause Our deeds, our victories, our acc-Jmplishments ari- t'o nutrerous to relateg but oh! what heart did not swell, and what head as well--when after a victory was won, there appeared that banner of purple and gold and our war song was raised to the stars. And now as Seniors when our day has come though our ranks have been cut dawn by battles and examin- ations, until we number but thirteen, still we are climbing upward, using our weapons of nerve, brains, and beauty to win cut in this great strife. And so at last when the battles have ended and we lay our armor down, may we feel that peace which only comes to the victor and to him who knows that the world knows that he kniwsg and on that last night when we gather round the banquet table in the hall of fame and raise on high our foaming ,cups of sparkling blood red-lemonade may we of one accord, from the depths of our hearts say: Here's to the '14, noble and true, Here's to the purple and gold, Heres to the class of the faithful few, Here's to their deeds yet untold. Herefs to the teachers who led them aright, Here's to their good times ard fun, Here's to the things that the '14 may dn, And here's to the things that they've done GENEVA PEASE.

When we entered High School we had two attributes essential to success, namely: we were clever, we were original. Of course we have many good qualities.

A few have left us from carelessness but that fact is positive proof that the best are left. We have this year demonstrated our loyalty among ourselves. In athletics the Juniors are not a bit behind. In football the star players come from the ranks of the Jun- iors. In basketball the stars, both boys and girls, came from the Junior class. In base- ball and tennis they lead the list. Socially they are the jolliest bunch going. Even the Seniors are outranked there, for they always invite the Juniors to their part- ies so that they will not be so solemn and oppressive. On September the fifth, nineteen hundred and eleven, when we first entered this in- stitution of learning we received several shocks both mentally and physically. For as we came on the grounds we were barb- rrously seized by many hands and quickly dragged along by a long line of human forms who had paddles in their hands. Then we were given a push and knew no more until we found ourselves about one hundred yards farther down the walk, feeling very discon- tented with High School life in general and things indeed felt very general to us. How- ever, like heroes of yore we put on a brave front and with the courage of a Napoleon entered and sat down very easily in our seats and legan assuming knowledge. When Sophomores, We did so many credi- table things that we were accredited with being the best class in school and now that we are judicious, unequaled, ingenious, op- timistic, scholastic, studious Juniors the teachers are indeed proud of us and our record. As to noble, ambitions and high aspira- tions, we have many. We have hope next year when we are Seniors in the new build- ing to set a good example for the lower classmen and to get one hundred in every subject that we can and to successfully edit a school annual and leave our work in High School. l think that in the Junior class History our class teacher, Miss Lawing, should have honorable mention. She has stayed with us through thick and thin and has tried in every way to improve and train us and to make us in every way jolly, good, stndious, scholars. A , J A ur ..,,-y ni, e 1 .- .

The Teacher Training Department On March 14, 1913, there was approved by the Governor of Missouri a law of great importance to the rural schools of the state. This law provides that all first class high schools which shall comply with the rules of the state superintendent in regard to the courses and maintain a class of at least ten students to receive instruction will be author- ized to maintain a teacher-training high school and be allowed state aid to the amount of seven hundred fifty dollars each year. An inspector of the teacher-training schools has been appointed. Certificates of graduat- ion from the teacher-training department will be licenses to teach in any elementary school in any county of the state of Mis souri. 1 This law providing for the systiematic training of those intending to teach in the rural and elementary schools is a decided ad- vance upon the old method by which certifi- cates were granted to pupils just out of the eighth grade who had no special training for the profession and no more education than they were supposed to give their more advanced pupils. The need for better teach- ers has lang been felt. The law requiring h.gh school training for them was a step in the right direction, but this new law is better since it allows professional training also. Our superintendent, Professor Melcher, realizing the great need of trained teachers for the rural schools Of Howell county with his usual energy and persistence in obtaining for our schools those things which will en- hance their value gained the necessary ten signers of the entrance declaration. Thus was the already wide reputation of the West Plains High School for being in the lead in all educa- tional matters extended by this valuable ad- dition to the courses offered The course in teacher-training requires three units of education, method, pedagogy, and method and observation. The other sub- jects necessary are, three units of Englishg one of algebra: one of geometryg two of science, one 'of which is agriculture: two of historyg one of which ls American history and govern- ment: and one of some special or vocational subject. Of thc education units method is a Junior subject and the other two are for the Seniors. Examinations are given on these three courses, the questions coming from the state superintendent The class this year is small, only twelve being enrolled. Of this number six are Jun- iors and do only the work in method. The other six, two of whom are Seniors and four Post-Graduates, do the work in all three courses. Although a small class is desirable in recitation it is rather a deplorable fact that the class of the West Plains High School is one of the smallest in the state. The work done by the class has been very interesting and helpful. The Board of Edu- cation provided all the necessary books in- dicated in the course together with some of reference which though not essential were yet of great assistance in preparing the daily lessons. These books form a valuable addit- ion to the school library. The school was fortunate in its teacher, Miss'Lawing feeling that the work was of prime importance and 'throwing herself whole-heartedly into it. Es- pecially have the reviews of common school subjects in method been made vital through her efficient teaching. The work in elemen- tary psychology, as she has a natural aptitude for teaching, has also been very valuable. One of the most pleasurable features ol' the work for the Seniors and Post-G1'arl.ua.tes is the observation lessons required. A num- ber of these obesrvations have been made, some in the rural schools. The only one which was not thoroughly enjoyable was that made at Renfrew School on which cc- casion the class recelvel a thorough duck- ing from a sudden rainstorm. Directly connected with the worn though nct required by the star- was the Story 'Fellers' Club organized by Miss oawing. Conscious of the increasing part the story is taking in the education -.ml primary children :md desirous that her 1-lass should lack noth- ing which would make them more eflicient teachers she formed the society from the method class. A number or verv interes:-ng: meetings were held av d the Club furnished 9, program for the regular Wednesday As- sembly. During the year Mr. Davis, the state inspector, visited the school. He seemed pleased with the work which was being done in the teacher-training department, and the w'rk was approved by the state. This re- tains for the West Plains High School her place in the front rank of approved high schools. It is to be hoped that in succeeding years the classes which receive this excellent in- struction will be greatly augmented in size. Then will the conditions of rural life be bet- tered and the continued greatness and integ- rity of our country assured. HARRIET J. LETSON '13. III. ATHLETICS Foot Ball. During the last few years football has at- tracted more attention in the West Plains High S,choo1 than any other sport although last year was the flrst time that a regular football team was organized and then only two games were played. At the opening of the 1913-1914 season the boys began an early fall practice for their chosen sport. Suits were purchased for the team, a new ball was supplied and the boys' interest in the game caused them to go so far as to rent the old ball park, at their own A HOTLY CONTESTED GAME. expense, for grounds. Every afternoon all through late Sepetmber and early October one could see the grounds lined with boys in red and white engaged in scrimmage or tack- ling practice. An early game was matched with the Town Bucks, or the old Come Backs who had spent years with the pigskin, The big boys from the town were husky and well trained, some having played on the large college teams of the state but the school boys took the first game with a 12-0 score. The people of the town and the students turned out well and the game was properly suppor- ted. The boys received much encouragement from this game and longed for more. John- son was elected manager and Cordell, the most efficient man on the team was unani- mously given the ofllce of Captain. Johnson began an early correspondence with schools all over the state for a game. Every school of any importance from Spring- field to Memphis was challenged but without results. The boys soon grew tired of constant practice without the hopes of a game and their enthusiasm began to wear away. The fleld was left unkept, the goal posts were 'r-roken down and the suits and ball were stored away in the basement. A long inter- val elapsed and football was never talked of. The signals were forgotten and the boys grew stiff and lazy. One Thursday afternoon when least ex- pected a telegram was received from Spring- field desiring a game for the next Saturday. Although in no condition to play, the boys accepted the challenge and with one afternoon of constant signal practice under the eth- cirnt coarh Dave Hogan, the boys left for the bloody encounter. After a nights' ride on the train and a day of dissipation in the city the boys were in no condition to meet the fresh and mighty Springfield lads. On a muddy field in a cold drizzly rain the game was called at four o'clock. The game opened for the visiting team and we made four or five successive gains around Springtleld's ends, but the tide soon turned and after the loss of Allen, one of our best men, we steadily lost ground. Springfield captured the ball and all during the first quarter they broke through our lines and around our ends. The opponents much out weighed our comparatively small players and as we had depended largely on speed and skill, we were com pletelr routed by their constant line drives on the slick and muddy field. At the end of the first half the score stood 48-0 in favor of the home team. On re- tirement between halves the boys received some valuable pointers and renewed vigor from the worthy advice of Coach Hogan. When the bell rang for the second half every boy went into the game with a fresh supply of energy and although somewhat disheartened at the already high score, they were determined that it should go no higher. After about tive minutes hard fighting and a fumble with the ball on our part they suc- ceeded, in the first quarter, to make another touchdown, making the score 55-0. The score was 55-0 during this quarter and the last quarter and every boy on the team is to be given credit for his knowledge of old time, knock-down and drag-out football. All scientific rules were forgotten the result be- ing that several of the antagonists were car- ried injured from the field. At the end of the hard fought game the score still stood 55-0 in favor of Springfield, and although I - it :seal , -- . AROUND THE COURT the boys had lost the game they had learned more fcotba11 than they had ever known before. Johnson next matched a game with Moun- tain G-rove for Thanksgiving day and although there was not much time for practice, they all felt sure of success. Hogan put the boys through some l1al'd practice a few davs he- fore Turkey Day and left them in 80011 condition to meet the long and hated rivals of the W. P. H. S. Thanksgiving day found it again muddy but the sky overhead was clear. Mountain Grove's hopes were high when they saw our line up of small men compared to their in- vincible huskeys but their hopes dropped when on first play, Cordell, with go:d sup- port tore around their right end and running forty yards scored a touchdown for the hsme team. The Mountain Grove bojs tried line drive after line drive but without effect for our uniform line held like a brick wall. They seldom gained their ten yards, either around the end or through the line. Rice and Lee broke their flimsey lines time and again making long gains down the sloppy field. Shadburne made useful prac- tice cn his favorite method of stiff arming, sending many of the big boys to a muddy bed. Mantz and Green showed up well on the ends although the slippery ground can'- ed several errors on the forward pass. Both men with the support cf the halves held down the end well and stopped many of their opponents behind their line of de- fense. Hogan, at guard, is to be given credit for some of the best playing that was done on either side. Hogan, that slow and lazy Hogan, forgot his manners. It is said that someone poked him and woke him up. Evi- dently something must have happened for the big bull broke the opponents line at every chance, several times tackling the Mountain Grave quarter before he had delivered the hall. Johnson at tackle made some fast runs and plucky tackles and is to be given credit for a good game. Spears encountered his first game with the Mountain Grove lads and showed up well. Spears is a freshman, a big lad and a fast man and with another year of football we feel that here will be one of our choicest men. Harlin, our refined center, our noble P. I., as usual. showed the people that in football he was never timid and always responded readily to the systematic sigrals of our cool headed quarter. - At the end of the first half the score was 13-0 in favor of the home team and with a desire to make it 55 the boys went cheerfully into the second half but the bell rang with the score 39-0 in our favor. Paul Rettig, another freshman was tried out for the first time in this game and showed signs of being classed next year among the lest on the first team. Summing up our team in general, we consider that we have the roughest, one of the fastest and one of the best teams in the state with rnly a lack of games to show our superiority.

Basketball has been very interesting dur- ing the past season even among those girls wI1o were not included within the first team. Class teams were organized and practice begun early in October. There was one team formed from both the senior and the junior classes and two from 'the sophomore class. Most members of the senior and junior teams had had practice for one or two years pre- viously and entered the work with en- thusiasm. After a few weeks, a spirited contest was for selecting first and second teams. This trying out was conducted according to the point system so that in a given number of practice games, the girl in each position getting the highest number of points was selected for playing that position on the first team. This was necessary since there was so little difference in the abiltiy cf some of the players. The first and second teams were chosen almost entirely from the junior and senior teams. The Sophomore teams continued their practice during the entire season. During the latter half of the season the Manager arranged fcr a series of inter-class games to be played. Double header games were to be played by both girls and boys teams at intervals of one or two weeks. While The girls developed some skill in the game and were very faithful in studying rule books and in practice. There is some excellent material among these teams from which to select next year's teams.

Seniors Please Friends And Patrons of School In Miz I-Iigbee of Harvard. A capacity house witnessed the annual class play of the West Plains High School at the Catron last night, when the seniors pre- sented. Mr, Higbee of Harvard, a delight- ful western comedy. Mr. Higbee of Harvard is filled with mirth provoking situations and Miss Iris Trimble and Mr. Thad Kenney, in the two leading roles, Malvina, the western widow, and Watson Higbee, wealthy but rough west- erner, kept the house in a constant roar of laughter. Misses Geneva Pease and Madge Morton, were charming as Marie Cummings and Nancy Withrow, two delightfully coquet- tish school girls, while the part of Mrs. Bal- lew, an eastern widow, was very cleverly por- trayed by' Miss Maude Benton. Herbert Mantz, as Lorin Higbee CMr. Higbee of Har- vard! and Eugene Harlin, as Theodore Daly- rymple, his chum, were t' pical college chaps, and Dick Green as Senator Withrow, Nancy's match making father, and Elton Hyder as Higgins, the butler, made up the remainder of the cast and were clever in this respect- ivc parts.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL' NOTE-This school always has many en- joyable features during the term. lt has its parties, its plays, banquets and social affairs. These are all for enjoyment and help make our school life live long in our memory. This year the new school is being erected. This is an event so great in our history that in our opinion, it is right and proper that it should be placed in the Events Hoping that this brief description will give our alum- ni some idea of our new home, we submit this for your approval. THE EDITORS, THE FIRST STAGES. For the past few years the people of West Plains, have felt the need of a new school building. The old Central building had become too old and was unsafe and un- sanitary. This building, where so many have received their education. was inadequate. The High School had relieved the situation Il little by taking some 100 pupils from the old school. As time went on, however, the High School, too, became inadequate. Country students swelled the roll until even the ofllce had to be used as a class rozm. Therefore, in 1912, an election was held and it was voted to bond the school district for 533,000 in order to build 3 new sf-lrol. This rew building will accomodate the High School and the Seventh and Eighth grades. The intermediate grades wruld occupy the old High School. The board bought the lots just west of the school property and thus obtained a large and well located campus. The owners of the houses removed them and by the first of January 1914, the ground was ready. The plans and specifications were drawn by J. H. Felt Q Company, architects of Kan- sas Cify. and the contract to erect the build- ing was awarded to J. W. Williams. of Shww- nee, Okla. The excavation .began immediately and the foundation was done by April 1st, when the old building was turned over to the wreckers. The classes were moved to store rooms and churches, while the basement of the new school had been completed. 'l he structure fronts Garfield avenue. It will be 34x64 feet and ,319 feet high. It will consist of two stories and the ground floor. It is Leing built of pressed brick, with cut stone trimmings. The unilateral system of lighting is used, all windows being on the east and west sides. The roof will be flat and will be composed of a tar and sand prepare? tion. The inside will be finished entirely with oak and will be lighted with electricity. The heating system. will be steam, furnished by an adequate boiler and the ventilation speclfl- catirns call for the Johnson system, using a 90 inch fan run by a 10 h. p. steam engine, supplying 20,800 cubic feet of air. ln the basement there will be three lab- oratories, a lecture room and the library. The physics and chemistry laboratories will be furnished completely with all the neces- sary rpparatus. The domestic sfience labor- atory is also provided with a storeroom. In the basement are several drinking fountains. SCENES FROM THE GROUND. One very good feature is the boiler roam. This room is completely isolated from the rest of the building by very thorough fire proofing, and there is absolutely no danger of the building igniting from this room. The second floor is reached by two flights of stairs, one at the south, the other at the north end of the building. These stairs will be of wood plastered with Portland cement. The landings will be of reinforced concrete. On the second floor will be live class rooms, the oiilce and the cloak rooms. The equipment of the building in general will be the very best. Slate b-lackboards will be used and a complete new set of desks and furniture will be installed. The interior will be modern in every detail. There will be no gymasiuin in the building, but this will probably be added later. The grounds will be improved and made very beautiful. All the buildings will be re- moved except the old library building. A walk will be made along Garfield avenue INSPECTING THE SCHOOL. There is only one flight of stairs to the second floor. Here there will be two class rooms and an auditorium. This auditorium will be one of the best features. It will be 38x56 feet, and will seat 300 people. It can be used for a study hall. The stage will he 10x37 feet, including two good dressing rooms. THE OLD AND THE NEXV. and a wide concrete walk leading to the front entrance. The campus in front will be sod- ded and laid out beautifully while the grounds ir the rear will be used for athletic fields for baseball, football, tennis and basket ball. In fact our school will be complete in every detail and the combination of our already eflicient faculty with this modern building will provide a school unequaled by any other in Southern Missouri. VI LITERARY BECAUSE OF FASHION I say old man, who is this? inquired Ted one evening, as he held up a picture bc- fore me. My cousin Janet, I answered, scarcely looking up from my book, for I was busy cramming for the final exams. College was to close in a few short weeks and I hadn't much time to lose rummaging through desk drawers and mooning over family portraits and I told Ted as much to keep him quiet. The few weeks before commencement soon passed and all the fellows were laying plans for the summer. I approached Ted with this subject one afternoon as we walked from the baseball field to the dormitory, Ted, what are you going to do this sum- mer? I said. Don't know, Howard , he answered, nothing much until August. Dad needs me then but I haven't the faintest idea what I shall do before then. Now Ted isn't blessed with a family like my own, for his family consists of only Ted Maitland, Sr., and Ted Maitland Jr., so his va- cations are usually rather lonesome. But next day a letter from my father told me that there would be a swell time for both of us. This letter informed me that Dad had invest- ed in a new motor car and that since I had been so kind as to make a decent record in college that year I might run the car across country from the city to my home. Overjoy- ed I rushed into the room where Ted was sorting out his things preparing to pack, grabbed a pillow and soaked him in the head with it, that being the only efficient way to attract his attention when he is occupied. I say, cut it out, he roared, then seeing my radient face , what's up? Lots, for both of us, I said, you and I are to motor home in our new car. I've planned it all out. ,We can stop and rest whenever we get tired for I have relatives scattered all the way long. There's Uncle John, and Aunt Ruth, and Cousin Janet, and several others. I ran on. Ted began to show interest and soon was more eager than I. And so it happened that we started out the day after commencement with high spirits and camping outfits. One day, about a week later, I was wear- ing Ted's coat for mine didn't seem to be anywhere in sight and the evening was chilly as we sped along the road, when I discovered in the pocket a picture. Oh, ho, I thought Ted seems to he growing sentimental in the springtime. I drew out the picture and was surprised to see that it was the same that he had found in my desk some three weeks before. What in thunder did he take that for? I pondered, but next day a light dawned on me when Ted said, Say, Howard, I would like to meet that cousin Janet of yours. When shall we get there? Day after tomorrow I replied trying to be calm--and so Ted the practical, Ted the sober, Ted the athlete, who had never been known to look at a girl, was in love, was crazy about a mere pic-ture. The next time I had opportunity I got the picture and looked at it. Not so bad after all, I thought, Dreamy eyes, golden hair coiled low on her neck with little curly tendrils round her face. Any- body who didn't know might easily be toucu- ed. But oh, 1 could hardly contain myself when 1 watched Ted's apparent anxiety and I kept saying to myself, Just you wait till he sees her, Howard Curtis just you wait. Guess I'll have to let you take Janet out motoring since 5ou seem to be so crazy about her, I said in order to see how he would take it. Why how did you know that? he gave himself away in his surprise I didn't know, I just wanted to find out. Oh, well, old man, I' d just as soon you'd know. I guess you think I'm a big simp to be crazy about a picture. But my soul! such eyes and hair and besides how awfully stylish! He went on with his raptures, spieling off things I didn't know he had in his makeup. How do you know she's stylish? I in- quired, you couldn't see anything but her face and hair, That's just it Her hair 'the way it was fixed and all. He raved on in a manner that would make anybody sick, except a pair of newly weds on their honeymoon. That night as We lay beside the car sleep- ing I awoke and. thinking of Ted's love affair. broke into a roar of mirth. Ted, awakened by the noise which might have aroused 'the dead murmured drowisly, what did I say? Oh nothing, I merely sneezed , I lied and went to sleep again thinking of the morrow when Ted should meet his heart's desire. The morning dawned, bright and clear and was one like any mortal soul miglat wish to be his fateful day. I watched Ted don white flannels, a necktie a stickpin and var- icus other fancy fixin's, and brush his chest- nut pompadour with the utmost care. 'l'l1en 1 ventured a remark. You act as though you thought the vil- lage of Merryville was the city of Paris. Oh, 1 just thought I'd like to appear civi- lized since we're reaching civilized country. He tried -to act indifferent, but his rosy com- plexion turned to scarlet. At about ten o'clock we reached Merryville at last and approached the rambling old house, Well, here we are, I said, and watched Ted covertly. Here's cousin Janetfs home. ls there a large family? Ted inquired. Well hardly, since Janet ls the family. What! she lives all alone? No wonder the poor innocent seemed surprised. Not usually, I said, She always has scads of visitors. I could see that the old boy was nervous as we entered the hall and I exchanged greetings with the housekeeper whom I had known since I was a kid. Just sit down a minute, Mr. Howard, she said, while I call Miss Janet, I think she's out at the tennis court. Tennis! Joy, Oh bliss! The wild one shouted under his breath. Another chance for you, I said, ap- pearing not to have heard him. Say old man, I can't just see you intermingled with golden hair and tennis racketsf' He didn't reply but seemed to be engaged In examining the spacious room and the grounds outside and probably turning over what I had said about her living alone and thinking that perhaps-but there's no telling what he might have been thinking. Just here we heard light footsteps and I could almost hear the poor fellow's heart go pit-a-pat The door opened. We looked up. There entered a portly lady with gray hair parted smoothly on her forehead and 3 good natured smile playing forever about her mouth, which, when opened, disclosed two rows of even white teeth, her latest purchase from the new dentist. she informed me later. Howard, dear boy, I'm so glad to see you, she cried as she kissed me, and who is this? She turned to Tei. Ted Maitland. I beamed upon him, My cousin Janet. At first the poor kid dldn't seem to grasp the situation. He turned red and white, then hot and cold. bowed, mur- mured, Pleased to meet you. and sank into his chair. If I hadn't been so tickled I would have pitled the poor fellow. Our hostess was speaking. I guess you poor boys are hot and tirrd. Howard, you may have the blue room I was glad to get Ted into our room for I was afraid he might faint. I've heard of such things. He flopped down on a chair and was silent for a long time. Then he slowly reached in his pocket and pulled out the picture and looked at it. Yes, lt's her picture, I said, but it was taken thirty years ago. He gave me such a look as I have never seen before nor since, but said nothing. Finally, after I had un- packed my things and was preparing to dress for dinner, he awoke from his reverie and said dully, But 'the hair! Oh say now, you don't mean to tell me that you don't understand about fashion? Why, may, they rotate, like farm crops or merry-go-rounds, you know, and the same styles come back about every thirty years. Here Ted's silence was broken and he gave me such a lecture as I've never heard, outside a pulpit, on the ways of acting lies without telling them. As we went down to dinner I said, Will lou want to go motoring with her this after- noon or would you rather play tennis? He, forgetting that he wasn't on the football tleld gave me a kick that I can almost feel yet. About then the lady appeared. Dinner is just ready, come into the dining room. Your cousin Edith is with me now, Howard, but she seems to be late to dinner as usual. That child almost lives on that tennis court. I play a little myself to take off weight , she laughed. We had hardly seated ourselves when the door opened and there entered a girl arrayed in pink with dreamy eyes, golden hair coiled low on her neck, and little curly tendrils 'round her face. If Ted had fainted before, he would have died now, I know, for he dropped his fork with a c-latter and I could see his hair rise on his head . Oh Aunt Janet, I surely would have hurried lf I had known we had company, and her silvery laugh was good to hear She lsn't a gn0st , I whispered to Ted so he wou1dn't make such a fool of himself. but really. I didn't know that Edith did look so much like my cousin Janet's youthful pic- ture. And l never have been able to figure out whether the joke was on me or my churn, for he l1ad truly met his heart's desire. He had his motor rides and his tennis sets and now Edith has his diamond ring. Ted merely smiles about the picture episode and says that lt was all because of fashion. GENEVA PEASE. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY. . On thepflrst ,day of September we., tnlrty noble Sophomores, felt a sense of pride as we neared the High School building because we were never to be called Freshmen again. We were proud that the appellation, Sophoinores, could be applied to us and we deterniiued that the class would be an honor to the in- stitution and be regarded as such in the fut- ure. Oh! If you only could have seen our 'iline up on that eventful day! We had Riggs for traveling over-land and a Shipman to build and steer shtps it we should choose to travel on the sea. Grace Betts supplies us with sunshine by her never ceasing smile and as for wit, is not Blanche Kirwan, a very witty Irishman, a member of our class? As to Jewels, we possess a genuine Rul.'y,not only in name but also in appearance. Our class, though, bright, and intelligent, is very modest, and a good specimen of this is Dorothy Patton. We are also a law-abiding classg we have two Judges, Evans and Haydon. and we are sure that Lancaster and Livings- ton will make two great lawyers in the days to come. By the preceeding it can easily be seen that although somewhat miscellaneous we are a cosmopolitan company. We were amused to see the poor bewild- ered Freshmen standlng around, some with open mouths, and all wondering if they were conducting themselves in a manner suitable to their rank. We were jealous of the Jun- iors and thought the Seniors strange and silly things. On the 'twelfth of December a party was given by our class in honor of the Foot Ball Boys and the joyful event is considered one of the most important affairs of the year. Our class teacher, Miss Huff, worked with us mrst diligently, and the success of this event, as well as of other thi'ngs undertaken during the year, was largely due to her dis- interested labor. The planning for the party and the Dleas- ant thoughts regarding same occupied our niinds and we were relieved for short time of the dread of the examinations that were soon to follow after the Christmas vacation. lt is now nearing 'the end of the term and we are planning fishing trips, parties, and other good times for our vacation. Next year, after our summer vacation, we expect to return to the school as Juniors, still re- taining our honors as the star class of the sr-hool and so completely eclipsing the pres- ent Junior class, that they will be lost in oblivion. ' VERA MAYHEW '16, LATE AUTUMN, The meadows still are green, -But farther off, where stands a grove of trees A touch ot red and gold may now be seen, Ag softly move the branches in the breezes. Far in the clear blue sky, A line of wild geese wing their tireless way, To the warm Southland, and their distant cry Is faintly borne upon the Autumn day. Far o'er the northern hills A faint soft veil of purple haze is draped, And 'gainst the darker. blue serene and still, A white topped bank of pearly clouds is shaped. The sun is warm and bright, And yet from out the far northwest where lies, Those argosies of cloudland, capfped with white, A crisp breeze brings us thots of col er skies. .ff l , C. M.

IN MEMORIAM, His dark blood flowed over my hand, In vain I tried to stop the flow, , But as I stopped the Wound, I knew He never would rally from the blow, I held hi'm close in agony, As if to call him back again.

Senator Hogan, the enterprising editor of the Zizzer, was painfully compiling the list of the alumni of West Plains High School. He reached the 'class of '14, a class once large and fortunate but now small and neglected. Musing over the hard fates, of 'the once happy pupils, the editor let his mind wander, in fancy, over their lives. He first came to the name, Maud Benton. What a disappointment there had been here. Destined for a great career, heralded from one end of the country to the other as the greatest interpreter of Shakespear's heroines since the days of Julia Marlowe, a. woman whom Maud far sur- passed in beauty, she gave all this up, and marrying a poor Methodist preacher, buried herself in the wilds of Kansas. What the world lost by the failure of this great charac- ter can never be estimated, Slowly the editor passed to the next name -Miss Bessie Bogard, A. B., M. A., Mo., U. Ph. D., Vassar. Here was the place for greatness, if such ever existed. Positions were offered her in all the principal women's colleges in the United States, but she chose to confine herself to the measly little English Class in the West Plain High School. What worse thing could have happened to a woman on earth? Only one thing could have been worse! See Trimble's History. Phyllis Dressler came next-Phyllis, the kindest and truest of all creatures, Un- doubtedly she was destined for a better fateg surely the Fates never intended for her to traverse the stormy path of life without a strong protector. But 'there is a Supreme Being, and his will, not hers, was exercised. A lump came into the boy's throat as he gazed at the name of Ruby Henry. Here was a gi-rl of whom no accomplishment could be denied. Famed as a reader and elocution- lst, she was offered contracts from the man. agers of the largest Lyceum circuits of the country, but she preferred to wed a prof- essor. The cognomen of Elton M. Hyder next attracted attention. Elton the renowned mln- strel, that second Mark Twain, that noblest of men-it was just what we expected of him. His moral and uplifting book, Broken Beer-Bottles Break Bones in Bad Boys' Backs, earned for him such a place in literature that he was given a place as postman in Ring- ling's Circus. Closely connected with Elton was that other genius, Lord Clint T. Johnson, a second Demosthenes, and the greatest orator since the days of William Jennings Bryan, A copy of Johnson's famous oration, on the affirma- tive of the question, Resolved, that since the Civil War is now eighty years past, we should no longer wear Union Suits, lay on the table. This oration, delivered at the ,Peace Conference at Lebo, Missouri, won for its composer great fame, both at home and abroad. After this, desiring to devote all his time to oratory, Lord Clint even re- fused a job in a harness shop, which is said to have paid fifteen dollars per. With all his good qualities, he was a great man with the ladies, and it has been said that he has had twelve wives. This is probably a mls- take, as but eleven are certainly known of. Reluctantly leaving the record of this magnificent character, Senator 'turned the page. The man whose name he next noticed had been such a terrific failure! He stopped and thought of Morwood's past life. He remembered that even when Clyde was a mere boy he invented a wagon from spools and toothpick-s, and as the boy grew older and reluctantly left his fa.ther's knee, his genius remained with him. At the young and ten- der age of eighteen, we find him offering to the New York Zoological Society a plan for raising star-fish in trees. Altho the attempt was rt failure, nevertheless it showed Mor- wood's great powers of thought to all the world, and seemingly put him on the high road to fortune. But the ways of the world are hard. and insanity always claims its victims, sooner or later. One day Clyde attempted tn tly from the Woolworth Building to the ground with a pair of water-wings, and so painfully crushed his noble and well-filled craniuin. Brief and simple was the life of the next. Madge Morton, the dearest of all sphinxes. finally induced a poor simp to marry her on her forty-fifth birthday: but after endeavor- ing vainly for four days to say one single word, 'the poor man yielded up the ghost and went to his long home. Madge's heart was broken. and she was buried with him. Poor-man! How different was the fate of her friend, Geneva Pease, who. accustomed to all the luv-'nrv of her father's household, was united in holy matrimony at the tender age otnine- teen to a prominent nurserymen. and retired with him to South Fork. After many years of trial and tribulation, she went to the thriving village of Hardscrabble. where she supported her shiftless and worthless husband by taking in the washing of two prominent citizens, T, Kenny and P. Mantz. Senator paused with awe as he looked at the names of these great men, and then passed on with the greatest disappointment. Iris Trimble, the baby of the class, weak and mild and endear- ed to all because of her taking ways, suffered worse than ordinary humans can endure. She it was who married the owner of the St. Louis Browns . As for Margaret Williams, the last on the list, Hogan could tlnd no record of her whereabouts. The last which had been heard of her was On one cold winter's night, when she eloped with a deacon, and disap- peared forever from civilization. Hogan sadly clo ed the book, and as he sat meditating over their careers, the beauti- ful and touching words of Gra.y's Elegy flit- ted through his uneducated mind, The boast of Heraldy, 'the pomp of Power, All that beauty, all that wealth e're gave. Await alike the inevitable hour- The paths of glory lead but to the grave. T, K. and H. M. '14, THAT NEW VVOMAN. 3 'Twas once upon a summer day, I saw a maiden fair, Her eyes were blue, her cheeks were pink, And sea green was her hair. The brows were blackened with utmost care, Her nose no shade at all. With fiery red, her lips were touched, All dressed for the Charity Ball. But stay, for I forgot her gown, Which was important still, Aftho it's use has clauged gt lot, 'Tis now a drape and ilill. 1 Of course this gown was scant at feet, And slit to be in style, 'Twas made of red, and green, and blue, And could be heard a mile. And round her neck, so tall so straight, A velvet band did go. But as I looked I hurt my eyes, lt was the last tango. I passed her by amidst the throng, She was just one of those, lVho sell their souls in vain pursuit Of stylish Paris clothes. A. M. '16. THE TALE OF THE JUNIORS ' Once in the early year With examinations near, Strange things did happen here H I Around the High School ,sl For, on the building fair fl as Floating upon the air, Appeared a blue pennant there, Attached to the ilag pole. 2 'Mazed were the students all On the campus and in hall And they did wonder all, How it was reared there Proud were the Juniors then For it was within their ken To explain how, why and when, It had appeared there I 3 Alas for the Juniors pride, For trouble did preside, And did for them betide, A fate quite tragic. Tho that night with greatest care The Juniors guarded there, That llag did disappear As if by magic. A 4 And now it was only meet That the Juniors pride should fleet, When they learned that their little feat Some shingles injured. And the school board stern and cool, Had forthwith made a rule That who had thus played the fool Be sternly censured. 5 Then the stern professor said Ten cents must by each be paid, For those shingles, or else thy grades Shall be withholden. Then had the class a pain, And sorrow deep did reign, Each countenance Kin vain! Looked worn and olden 6 For slowly, all in time, Each handed out his dime, And then did the Juniors pine, For their grades were lowest, And as thro this they passed, They a lesson learned at last And now thy're a modest class.

The S.eniors all lacked dignity Their sponser told them so, They acted far too frivolous Their conduct was too low. By this advice they profited They all wore collars high They walked with straight and stiffened backs H ' WVhen other folks were nigh. They wore no smiles, they spoke no words Except when called upon, They did it 'till the patience of Their teachers was all gone. K Another lecture they received You are too dignified They felt so bad when this was said They were sorry that they tried. M. M. '14. SCHOOL DAYS Our school days-ah how soon they pass away. And join that endless file of passing years, 'Which, tho we longed for them with many tears, Can ne'er return save only in fond memory. 'liney pass and only fond remembrance leave, Of scenes that cause our hearts within to burn And bring us longing that we might return To these past days for which 'tis vain to grieve, Then let us while our school days yet are here With all, their golden opportunities so use them that their time shall be well spent. '1'hen when it chances that in later years We summon up their precious memories An added joy shall to our thots be lent Wlith all 'their golden opportunities. P . I , ,f' c. M. '14 I-,lf Q HU JK '?f!fLl'l,lfU0'C - CHARACTER Character is an abstract quality. It is also, generally speaking, an absent quality. Nobody has character but the Freshmen, and they won't have i't next year. The Juniors had a Character once, but now they have a Reputation. Character is chiefly useful to provide a subject for Assembly talks. If there wasn't any character, the preachers wouldn't have anything to talk about, and we would have to listen to the Orchestra. So let us be thankful for character, altho is is sometimes a nuisance.-Pinfeather. i SENIOR ISONG. TUNE: Gee! But It's Great to Meet a Friend From Your Home Town.

'14 is the class for me, The best of all, What difference does the number make, Tho it be small, We're the class of dignity, We're the class of jollity, Oh Gee!

Things happening around Curry Cot- tage. More complications. Those poor teach- ers, everyone was trying to help them out in their sorrow over their poor lost peeled rat-bit. They received phone calls from the Kilpatric Mercantile Company, Dad Waters and numerous other persons, prominent in social and business circles. At last several rabbits appeared on the scene and the teach- ers had a genteel sufllciency of food. 9. Lots of happenings today.

Marcus pulled off his Boots, shook the Frost from his Jeans, and went in to dinner. First Gen, the pretty maid, after the Deacon's prelimiliarfes, was brought in a roasted Possum, which, soon disposed of by Marcus and his little daughter, Cuttie. Then a Chicken was served, but because there was a PINFEATHER remaining on it, it was rejected, and its place was taken by a large pump- kin P. I. Tea was then served, and the master left the table. He we-nt to bed, but was sick the next morning. The Doc was called, but nothing could be done, and Mar- cus died the next morning. They put him in an 8x3 casket, out it was a tight Squeeze. On his tombstone he was Dub'd An Honest Man. STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP- XVEST PLAINS DAILY PIN- FEATHER.

A Pinfeather Reporter sustained, millions of painful bruises yesterday afternoon, whent it fell off a moving bicycle on East Main. Was much bruised between the Armory and the Lumber Yard. A LITERARY JOURNEY IN THE EASTERN STATES. Last year in May, I decided to take a journey into the Eastern States and learn more of the homes and places of our early literary men. I first went to New York. There are so many interesting places in that state. The first place that I visited was Sunnyside, Irving's home in Tarrytown. It is a beautiful and most ideal home. It is a large house, partly covered with vines. The garden is large and the trees are beauti- ful. I was impressed by the tlne old drive ways. The home was so cheerful that I did want to leave. I next took a short trip up the Hudson River. I could see the Catskill Mountains in the distance and they made a great impres- sion on me because they seemed so dreamy and still. I left the boat and walked over to the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Everything there seemed just to suit the atmosphere. Tall bushes were everywhere and ivy grew on the tombs. I particularly noticed Irving's grave. It was between the graves of the parents. There was just a small stone slab to mark his resting place. I left New York teing pleased with the places which I had already visited. I then went to Massachusetts. I llrst went to Cambridge and visited Longfellow's home. It is a stately and beautiful old place. The house is large. The lbeauty of this house is, brought out by a ilne veranda built around one half of the house. The house is on a large, rolling terrace. There are a number of stone steps leading up to a small front porch. The lawn is attractive with its terraces. It is a delightful place. I next visited Emerson's residence in Concord. This house is especially interesting because it was also the home of Hawthorne for about two years. It is a large rambling house. The grounds extend over a large area. There are a number of trees and shrubs near the house. A large driveway leads to the house and then winds around the grounds. The cedar and pine trees are especially attractive. Not very far from Emerson's home is the Concord bridge. On this bridge many inter- esting thing have happened. On the banks of the stream, over which this Hue bridge is built, the British and the Americans had camped. It does not seem probable that this peaceful spot was once a battlefield. Now it is a lovely shady place wh-ere many travelers find rest. The bridge is rather long and of moderate width. It is a fine old place and many tourists come to this city just to see lt. Near Lexington, Massachusetts is Louisa M. Alcott's home. It is not a very attract- ive buildlng but there is something about it that causes one to become interested in it. There is a large oak tree near the house. Under this tree, it is said that Louisa Alcott wrote Little Women and many other of her interesting books. I was especially interested in seeing Walden Pond. After visiting Alcott's home, I went to Walden Pond. Thoreau's hut is not there any more but the site is marked by a large pile of stones. Surrounding this small clear- ing is a small forest. The trees are tall and stately. While in Massachusetts, I came across some of the furniture from Thoreau's Cabin. This furniture was very rudely ll-uilt. There was a small writing desk, a chair and one or two other pieces. I then saw the home of I-Iawthorue's cousin. This house was the noted House of Seven Gables. It ls very large. The seven gables are very conspicuous. There is one very large tree near the house and there are many smaller ones. The appear- ance of this home is very gloomy and it sug- gests to one of the witches that Hawthorne wrote about. ' The last place that I visited was Whit- tier's home in East Haverhill. The house was very small. It was built in the center of a large tract of ground. There are a few trees near the house. Not very far from the house is a large group of evergreen trees. They are beautiful and add attraction to the place. I felt satisfied with my journey and re- turned home. I enjoyed my trip greatly and besides receiving enjoyment from it I also received better knowledge of our most not- ed literary men. FREDA FEFFER '15. THE D F- ff.
