24 THE TOTEM. The Totem Published Annually by the Winamac Hisrh School HOMER L. MORRISON - - Editor JAMES P. FALVEY - Business Manager Price, 25 Cents the Copy The Totem management wishes to thank the business men for advertis- ing in The Totem. We also wish to thank our boosters who have helped to make it a success. • The silver cup which Winamac won back from Star City last spring still hangs on high, and every person seems to be proud of it. We may also state that we have some athletes that will defend the cup for at least four years. • H. J. Wirick resigned as teacher of the Eighth grade the latter part of March. He became possessor of a job with easy money attached to it, and since Mr. Wirick has no desire to work when unnecessary, he is re- joicing at his good fortune. »«» The many readers of our paper will no doubt have some criticism to put on the good work or on the poor work which will dominate in the paper. The management wishes to state that every effort has been made to make this year ' s Totem the best ever. To all critics we will say It is or best. The girls seem to have lost all- in- terest in basket ball on account of there being no more county meets. If the girls would pull together and get a team similar to the one they had last fall, there would be no doubt of their winning every game they played in or out of the county. Miss Clara Evelyn McHugh, a teacher in one of the Topeka schools, read at a recent teachers ' meeting from a collection of quaint examin- ation answers that she had been gathering for years. The gems of Miss McHugh ' s collection were : ' ' A blizzard is the inside of a hen. ' ' ' ' The equator is a menagerie lion running around the earth. Oxygen is a thing that has eight sides. ' ' The cuckoo never lays its own eggs. A mosquito is a child of black and white parents. — Ex. How long have you been mar- ried? ' This time, or all together ? — Ex. First Boy — Wliat ' s a chafing- dish ? ' ' Second Boy — Oh, it is just a fry- ing-pan that has crawled into society. ' '

THE DAY OF Re-covering Old Umbrellas IS PAST Never again will you be compelled to wait three or four days to have your old umbrella frame re-covered Ly an inefficient workman, and then possibly have a rusted rib break and ruin your new cover. FREE e are enabled to supply you with a new Hull base, (rod, rib and cover)— all at the mere price of recovering your old um- brella. We can do this because the frame of the average umbrella only costs 12 c, and because we figure every person who once uses the Hull umbrella, will forever discard their, old umbrella and we will be amply repaid for our time, tiouble and expense. If you have an old umbrella in your home that needs re-covering, bring it to our store and in two or three days we hand you the new style Hull with detachable and interchangeable handle. When you have exchanged your old umbrella for this new style, the Hull um- brella, you will begin te enjoy uses and advantages which no other umbrella has ever given you before. In fact, the Hnll is going to make you discard the old umbrella for all time, so take advantage of this offer and bring your old umbrella to our store immediately. THE BIG STORE

THE TOTEM. 25 I i I CIciss f 0Btn I t «. L. TO. J Last night as I lav sleeping, There cam a dream so fair, I stood in dear old Winamae Beside the High School there, And from its flag-staff flying, A flag of glorious sheen, The colors of our Senior year The beanteons White and Green. Oh ! nineteen ten ! Oh ! nineteen ten ! Here ' s to our banner brave; May its memories oft return again, And long above us wave. It hung there in the morning sun As bright as any star, The flag seemed a most perfect one, As I looked from afar; And as the dream receded, The flag could still be seen; Its colors ne ' er have yet been dimmed, The glorious White and Green,
