1920 CHAMPION 1920 I img Hiait in IRE. 311. S. I have traveled a great deal, to the top of the Rocky Mountains, to the Golden Gate -in fact, in every State of the United States, and in France-but in all my visits I en- joyed none so much as I did my visit to Winslow High School. I arrived at Winslow on the morning of January 15, 1920. I thought Winslow to be a very strange place, indeedg but the people seemed to be the friendliest people I had ever met. The High School interested me most, so I immediately made my way to the High School building. On entering the building I Was greeted by Mr. A. L. Loeser, superintendent of the school. I told him I wished to visit High School. So he at once conducted me to the assembly room. All the students seemed to stare at me. 'Twas here I met Mr. Beadles, who at that time was conducting a class in the assembly. However, it was soon time for rest and that class period was over. School was then dismissed for rest, and, al- though a march was played, all were out of step but J im. When I looked out of the window I saw that all the boys and girls were having a jolly time, all seemed to be happy, for most of them were singing. The most popular songsvseemed to be Nearer, My God, to Thee and Oh, Harmeyer, How I Love Thee. Soon the bell rang and all went into the building, and taking their seats began to study as if they meant business. But their study did not last long, for soon most of the stu- dents began to look around. Some were eating candy, others chewing gum, but most of all my attentiin was centered on two students. There seemed to be a hatred shown be- tween a Freshman girl and a Sophomore boy. They seemed to hate one another so much that they would not speak to one another but pass notes back and forth. That afternoon I again visited school and got there early so as to see how they started in to work. I had not been there long when two girls came up the assembly steps and standing before a glass door began to powder and arrange their hair. Then two more girls came, and I heard one of the girls say, Have you got your powder puff, Kid? I want it. When the bell rang all was quiet and the classes were called. I thought I would visit the Freshman Latin Class and hear them recite. The class was very large but each seemed to be attentive. I thought I would not like to be a student in that class for Mr. Harmeyer talked in words I could not understand. ' I then visited Miss McKedy's Domestic Science Class. I soon found they were good cooks and very quick and quiet about their work. I thought I would like to be a mem- ber of that class for they seemed to have so much fun. On Miss McKedy's desk I found a box of Juicy Fruit chewing gum bearing the sign Please get a fresh piece to chew ln each of my classes. I enjoyed my visit very much and I hope they soon may have a new and larger High School build-ing. ROXIE McCAFFERTY. 0 Send Out Thy Light and Truth 56

1920 CHAMPION 1920 a, if .ip v 'U Mg Brat Zllrirnh I sat alone one bright Sunday afternoon, dreaming as most young fellows are likely to do. The warm sunshine of that spring day filled my soul with rapi ture. l was thinking of one I loved best, the one I knew as my best friend. I had been deeply troubled during that day and I couldn't keep my mind off that terrible problem which she alone could help me solve, if called upon. Suddenly a feeling crept over me, a feeling which assured me of an angelic presence hovering near. I looked up. Through the door the bright rays of the sun fell upon the beautiful Brussels rug. The room seemed full of splendor. She stood in the open door. Her dress was a soft, blue negligee, which clinging to her body displayed the perfectness of her form. A light chiffon scarf was thrown about her shoulders, revealing the beauty of the velvet-like neck. Her large, deep blue eyes peeped from her long, dark lashes beneath a crown of dark brown hair. Oh! How wonderful she was. She advanced and sat beside me. Was there anyone more lovely? Putting her arms around me she planted a lingering kiss upon my forehead. Did my troubles really worry her, I wondered? So I took her in my arms and said, D0n't worry, mother, l have my com- position for the Annual, and Mr. Loeser will not need to scold any more.
