ACADEMIC TESTS Winterset High School participated this year in the seventh annual Every- Pupil testing program sponsored by the University of Iowa. Tests were given in Latin I, Latin Il, general science, English correct- ness, physics, American literature, English literature, American govern- ment, world history, and the under- standing of contemporary affairs. In addition to the determination of the scholastic achievement within the school, the testing program encourages better scholarship for the individual pupil. The pupils from the entire state who rank among the fifty highest in any individual subject will participate in the annual brain derby at Iowa City on June 4. SENIOR PLAY Instead of following the old custom of presenting a comedy, the senior class will give a moving drama, House Party, for the senior class play Mon- day and Tuesday nights, May 20 and 21. I-louse Party is a new play of the highest type and was first released for amateur production this year. The setting of the play is a boys' fraternity during a ho11se party, a traditional social event in eastern col- leges. A girl whose morals are not of the best plots to blackmail one of the college boys. -Coming to the fraternity during the party, she is admitted and left alone with the boy. Taking ad- vantage of the situation, she tries to force the boy to write and sign a breach of promise letter, with threats that unless he does, she will scream, arouse the house, and tell her story. The boy refuses: and when the girl starts to scream, he rushes to stop her. In doing so, he pushes her over. She falls, striking her head on the man- tel of the fireplace, and is killed. The boy is tried and acquitted. He plans to go abroad, but the scene of the tragedy haunts him and draws him back. His fraternity brothers think he has come back to bid them farewell. His best friend, however, is able to help him clear his mind of the terrible burden. Cast Alan Bradford ...... Ronnie Evans ....... Sally Andrews ..... . Maizie Milligan .... . Hortense Pfeiffer ....

Ernest Mueller was elected president, Emma Mueller, vice presi- dentg and Kermit Moore, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Johnson, Miss Cole, and Miss Shepard were chosen as sponsors. The junior class was very well rep- resented this year in the activities of the glee clubs. John Elderkin, Floyd Craven, and Joe Alexander were in the quartette. In the operctta Floyd Craven, Isa- belle Smith, Arthur Goshorn, Ernest Mueller, and John Elderkin had lead- ing solo parts. Bessie Embree, Willard Finney, Joe Alexander, Willis Cox, Eu- gene Crow, Robert Parkins, Helen Wo1'- ley, Ilo Comp, Ilene Miles, John Mc- liees, Jack Vierling, Willard Mease, and Roy Busch played minor parts. Although the junior class has always been well represented in girls' basket- ball, not until this year did any of 'them play regularly. Mary Bruns and Maxine Harrell received their letters with sixty-five and forty-three quar- ters respectively. Dorothy Cunning- ham, Kathleen Croft, and Henrietta E-pwgin-other juniors on the squad have good prospects for making the first team next year. Ileroy Addy and Donald Simpson had twenty-two and sixteen quarters to their credit at the end of the boys' basketball season. They were the only junior boys to win their letters this year in basketball. li-gl-L. JUNIOR.-SENIOR BANQUET The annual junior-senior banquet was held on Friday, May 3, in the high school gymnasium, which was decorat- od like a roof garden. A dance or- chestra from Des Moines played for the dance after the banquet. The chairmen for the various com- mittees were as follows: entertain- ment, Dorothy Cunningham and Er- nest Muellerg program, Ilo Comp and Isabelle Smithg food, Marjorie Bell- man and Betty Fosherg and decora- tions, Kathleen Croft and Kermit Moore. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Remembering that the financial support of the junior-senior banquet rested on them, the junior class of 1934-1935 made a snappy sales carn- paign for the sale of tickets for the class play, The Three of Us. The campaign was undertaken as z, contest, with two captains for each of the two sides. John Elderkin and Mary Bruns were the captains for the victorious side. The individual prizes for largest ticket sales were won by Bessie Embree and Russell Comp. The Three of Us Was presented early in the fall. Maxine Harrell played the part of Rye McChesney, a young west- ern. girl whose efforts to keep her younger brothers, Clem and Sonny, played by Eugene 'Crow and Arthur Goshorn, at home made up the prin- cipal interests of the plot. John Elder- kin as Steve Townley supplied the romantic attraction. Six other characters in the play were enacted by Kathleen Croft, Isa- belle Sfmith, Dale Braden, Willard Mease, Floyd Craven, and Leland Cahow. l.T0 ..

For a few days these same people were seen hunting unfamiliar halls and rooms. Being a brilliant group, they soon be- came accustomed to their surround- ings. At the first class meeting they chose the following officers: president, Deane Martin: vice president, Mae Breen, secretary-treasurer, Martha Harvey. ' The freshman class mourned the death of one of its members, Neva Cummins. ' , Coach Clark found the following boys of this class out for football: Deane Martin, 'Charles Bishop, Leslie Mapes, Hubert Boyd, Ross Cox, Her- bert Allen, Paul Harrell, Delbert Ra- gan, Thomas Monaghan, Vernon Sim- mons. One of this group, Deane Martin, received his letter for achievement in this sport. . Three freshman girls-Mae Breen, Eloise Travis, and Laura Abrahams- have been on the basketball team all season. Francene Ryan, Nora Mae Bruns, and Dorothy Sherard were add- ed near the end of the season. The boys out for basketball were: Deane Martin, Alva Chilcote, Leslie Garland, Glenn Neideigh, Paul Har- rell, Wayne Estel, Leslie Mapes, Ross Cox, Lyle Mullins. Robert Cornell received his man- agers letter at the end of the season, and Jack 'Cassiday was his assistant. Mae Breen was an outstanding entry in the declalnatory contest of the school. Mae entered in the humorous division and won the school prelimin- aries and finals. She was one of the representatives in the county contest. .i-01-TM D Roach: I call my girl appendix because it costs so much to take her out. .. -0-1, Rex Wade: Did your canary die a natural death?

Miss Curry and Mr. Peters were chosen sponsors. HIGH SCHOOL ADOPTS CREST A standard high school crest was a- dopted by the pupils of Winterset High School this year. Committees representing each of the four classes in high school made the selection. Floyd Addy, a senior, drew the crest, which is a gold W placed on a stone background. The seniors presented a large picture of it to the high school, and Mr. Carleton Peters gave a very impressive talk to the pupils, showing them what it should represent. Every graduating class now will have the same crest on the high school 1'i11gS. Changing only each year the date on the ring. ' Miss Milleson: Well, Dan, why were you late this morning? Dan Roach: It's a new sign they've just put up. Miss Milleson: What has a sign got to do with your being late? Dan .R.: The sign says: 'School ahead! Go slow'-and of course I had to obey.

The boys had a hard two weeks' prac- tice before the first game. On Friday night, September 14, Adel came here to play Winterset: it was a hard fought game, but Winterset came out ahead 7 to 0. After another two weeks' practice Lincoln High of Des Moines played the local boys on Winterset's field on the night of September 28. After forty minutes of good football Lincoln went home with the victory of one touch- down. Score 6 to 0. Winterset played the third game on Cctober 12 against Greenfield. Win- terset won after a hard struggle. Score 13 to 6. On October 19 Winterset journeyed to Centerville to play their old rivals. After forty minutes of football, mixed with mud and mud mixed with a little football, Winterset won by a narrow margin, 14 to 13. Alexander's 78-yard run was the feature of the game. Winterset went to Indianola on No- vember 2 to play the first conference game. After outplaying the opponents mcst of the game the best the locals could do was to play a tie-0 to 0. Winterset played the second confer-A ence game against Pella. The locals could call it a breezer because they came through with a 27 to 0- victory. This game was played Novernber 9. On November 16 Perry came here to 1'2lay. Although Winterset lost by one touchdown, the locals played a good game against much heavier opponents. The final score of this game was 6 tc G in favor of the visitors. On November 23 Winterset played Valley Junction. Again Winterset was out-weighed, but played a good game. Winterset lost by the score of 13-6. On Thanksgiving Day, November 29, Winterset played Mt. Ayr. After play- infz- on even terms the first half, 'Win- terset came back and Won 13 to 6. Photographer: Now look pleasant please, Mr. -Clement. Click- It's all over now. You can resume your natural expression. BASKETBALL Winterset boys had one of the most successful basketball seasons of recent years, winning fourteen games and los- ing seven. Co-captain Dale Murrell, forward, played his second year on the varsity. He teamed well with the rest of the boys and was a good floor man. Mur- rell will be greatly missed- next year. Co-captain 'Charles Beeler, forward, was moved from guard to forward. He filled the forward position like a veter- an. Charles was rather rangy and used his height to a great advantage. Charles is a senior this year. Rex Wade, center, played his first year as a regular. Because of his weight he would alternate jumping with Alexander. Rex has two more years and will be a valuable man in the future. Claude Alexander, guard, is without a doubt one of the best guards that have graduated from Winterset. He played a steady game and was very dc- pendable. He will be greatly missed next year, Walter Vance, guard, filled this posi- tion very favorably. He seldom scored, but was a valuable defensive man. Vifalter played his last year for W. H. S. Hubert Vance, the Jack of All Trades, played either guard or for- ward. Vance was a valuable utility man. He lacked the experience the other boys hadg therefore, he didn't play so much. He will graduate this year. John Grout, center, played his first year of basketball. Because of his lack of experience Grout had to work hard for his place. He teamed well with the rest of the boys and was fighting from the start to the finish. He is a senior. Donald Simpson, center, played his first year on the varsity. He showed promise of becoming an excellent cen- ter. He teamed up well with the for- wards and generally controlled the tip- off. He is a junior this year. LeRoy Addy, forward, played his fi1'st year of basketball. He was a rangv boy and used his height to a good ad- vantage. He should make a valuable man next year. CLASS TRACK MEET Seniors Win Class Track Meet Claude Alexander played the part of a one-man track team for the senior class on Friday, Ap-ril 5. He was high- point man of the meet, scoring twen- ty-nine of the seniors' fifty-six points. The juniors, with a well-balanced team, were second with forty-one points.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS GIRLS' BASKETBALL Coach Cole and her girls began bas- ketball practice the first p-art of No- vember. With great determination, the girls worked hard to improve over last year's record and to learn the new two-court basketball which was first introduced here this year. As they had seventeen games ahead of them, they had some- thing to work for, and each girl was determined to have a position on the first squad, Roberta Cooper, a forward, proved to be a capable cap-tain. The season opened by playing Stu- art there and bringing home the vic- tory for Winterset High. The girls were considered very lucky, being un- defeated until the county tournament, in which they took second place. A few weeks later they entered the sectional tournament at Martensdale, where they defeated Spring Hill in their first game. The girls were de- feated in the second game by Norwalk. Two class tournaments were played: both were won by the seniors. The first was played by girls not on the squad, and the other one was played by both squad members and girls from the different classes. The W Club this year consisted of girls winning letters last year. These were Bernice Comp, Roberta Cooper, Eleanor Roach, Arletta Cox, June Sim- mons, and Orvetta Slmith. A few pic- nics ancl hikes were held during the early fall. Officers were as follows: president, Roberta Cooper: vice presi- dent, Eleanor Rbachg and secretary and treasurer, Bernice Comp. Eight girls received letters this year, three of whom received letters for the first time. Five of those receiving let- ters will be lost by graduation, but there is still promise of a good team for next year. Those receiving letters were Captain Roberta Cooper, Arletta Cox, Rae Lena Addy, June Simmons, Eleanor Roach, Maxine Harrell, Mary Jo Bruns, and Bernice Comp. l-io-.-..

Ayr, Jefferson High of Council Bluffs, Cres- ton, Bloomfield, East High of Des Moines, and Indianola. In the decision debates Winterset de- feated Valley Junction, Decorah, Boone, North High of Des Moines, and Jefferson High of Council Bluffs. De- feats were received from Roosevelt High of Des Moines, Lincoln High of Council Bluffs, Boone, Perry, North High of Des Moines, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Early in the season a debate clinic was held here with six schools attend- ing. Non-decision debates were held. and an open discussion was conducted by Mr. C. C. Carrothers, debate coach for Drake University and Roosevelt High of Des Moines. A similar series of debates at Os- ceola was attended by the local debat- ers. The feature of this tournament was a debate between an affirmative team composed of a speaker from Mt. Ayr and George Montross of Winter- set against a negative team of speak- ers from Indianola and Lamoni. In the preliminary debates of the state series, the affirmative team, Elizabeth Corkill and George Montross, qualified to compete in the next con- test. The negative, Charles Melroy and Robert O'Liaughli1i, Won one de- bate and lost one, but were eli- minated by the system of ranking speakers. Robert O'Laughlin and George Montross, the affirmative team, entered in the next contest, lost two debates and won two, but were elimi- nated by the speakers' ranking system. In the Drake debates Winterset was put out in the first series, winning one debate and losing two. Those tak- ing' part in this contest were: affirm- ative, Elizabeth Corkillg negative, Rob- ert O'Laughling and alternate, George Montross. Others who debated this season were Phillip Grout, Katherine Olmstead, and Robert Graves. Mr. Crawley was coach. 'DECLAMATION Many pupils entered declamation this year.

Maurice: Aw, who's afraid of a cow? GIRLS GLEE CLUB The membership- of the Senior Girls' Glee Club was limited to thirty-two members this year. The girls sang at the Teachers' County Institute in September and the C-ctober P. T. A. meeting. They also gave two numbers at the Winterset Night School graduation. Winterset was host to the five schools of the South Central Music Festival on March 1. The schools were Valley Junction, Knoxville, Pella, In- dianola, and Winterset. The glee clubs, girls' and boys', from each town sang two numbers. A boys' en- semble, a mixed chorus, and a girls' ensemble sang under the direction of Mr. Harold Tallman, supervisor of music at East High in Des Moines. The last performance of the year was at the commencement exercises, when many of the girls in the glee club performed for the last time. The girls' trio-Anne Drennan, Rfob- erta Cooper, and Clyde Bird Wiley- sang for a P. T. A. meeting and an assembly program. The male quartette-Joe Alexander, Floyd Craven, John Elderkin, and Robert I-Iollen-sang at an assembly program and for the Masonic Lodge. Isabelle Thornton, a freshman, gave an unusual performance for several programs this year by whistling. ..1..0 -1. 'BAND The band was called together for re- hearsal, under the direction of Mr. Clement, the first week of the school year in preparation for the football season. Music was furnished for the games on the home field and for pep meetings in the auditorium. Nearly all the band members were new and worked hard to perfect new selections for the various occasions for which band music was needed. The band numbered eighteen members. The South Central Association Band Concert was held in Knoxville on April 12. Winterset's band played two selections as group numbers and join- ed with one hundred and twenty-five other band members from the associa- tion in playing five ensemble numbers. ORCHESTRA The orchestra was organized by Miss Stearns soon after the opening of school. Many old members returned, and several new ones tried out, mak- ing a total of twenty-five members. The first public performance was at the junior class play in the fall. One of the first P. T. A. meetings was a musical program, and the orchestra furnished two selections. Several weeks later they played at a meeting of the Masonic Lodge. The orchestra played between acts of the op-eretta, South in Sonora. The Crchestra Festival was held at Pella in April, and each orchestra from the five schools-Knoxville, Valley Junc- tion, Pella, Indianola, and Winterset- gave three numbers. The music at the commencement exercises, the last program of the year, was also furnish- ed by the orchestra. OPER-ETTA The operetta, South in Senora, was held March 14 and 15. Its great suc- cess depended on Miss Stearns and Mr. Clement, who had charge of the music: Mr. Biggs, who arranged the stage settings: and the Misses Shep- erd and Danforth, who had charge of the costumes and dances. Leads were taken by Isabelle Smith, Anne Drennan, Clyde Bird Wiley, Kathryn Driscoll, Monica Hays, Floyd Craven, Arthur Goshorn, Ernest Muel- ler, Dale Fairholm, and John Elderkin. l.,Q., Detour: Roughest distance between two points. School: A place to meet the One and Only. Teachers: Unnecessary pay checks. Books: If they were all piled in the Grand Canyon, it would be a good thing. . Roberta: And you say he doesn't know how to kiss? Monica H.: I said he didn't know how to kiss. ....,..-0 Mr. Clement: A man is no older than he feels. I feel like a tWo-year- old. Mr. Biggs: Horse or egg? 'llll flD6l110l'iLlm The friends and fellow students of Sharlene Travis, who would have been a senior this year, were deeply grieved by her death last fall. To know Sharlene was to admire and love her brave and cheerful manner. In memory of Sharlene Travis, the classmate whom we all loved, we dedicate Longfellow's beautiful The Reaper and the Flowers. THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS There is a Reaper, whose name is Death, And, with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow between. I Shall I have naught that is fair? saith he: Have naught but the bearded grain? Though the breath of these flowers is sweet to me, I will give them all back again. He gazed at the flowers with tearful eyes, He kissed their drooping leaves: It was for the Lord of Paradise He bound them in his sheaves. My Lord has need of these flowerets gay, The Reaper said, and smiled: Dear tokens of the earth are they, Here He was once a child. They shall all bloom in fields of light, Transplanted by my care, And saints, upon their garments white, These sacred blossoms wear. And the mother gave, in tears and pain, The flowers she most did loveg She knew she should find them all again In the fields of light above. O, not in cruelty, not in wrath, The Reaper came that dayg 'Twas an angel visited the .green earth, And took the flowers away. .T..i.0,-li Before we had an opportunity to become fully acquainted with the beginning students in Winterset High School this year we were saddened by the loss of one of our freshman girls-Neva Cummins. Although we regret that she cannot ex- perience with us the happiness of our high school days, we may find comfort in the thought that Neva -Cummins has found a greater serenity and happiness in God's heavenly Training School. To her sister, Doris, and other members of her family we extend our deepest sympathy. 18 GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserve officers for 1934- 1935 were: president, Monica Haysg vice president and program chairman, Emma Muellerg secretary, Marjorie Oliverg treasurer, Eileen Milesg public- ity chairman, Kathleen Croftg social chairman, Eilene Stevensg music chairman, Roberta 'Cooperg member- ship chairman, Ilo Comp.
