Teachers meeting came along at this time to give us a day of vacation . . . this is one day when we rest and the teacher goes to school . . . Lawrence, Wichita and Pittsburg were the places selected by most of our teachers to spend this vaca- tion . . . Armistice Day marks a great day- for all of us . . . band went to Iola and took part in the big parade . . . you know we are proud of that band of ours . . . the Wildcats again are piled into various cars and transported to Humboldt where they furnished us with a few thrills but came home . . . as before . . . then the last sad game of the season . . . remember the Thanksgiving game . . . in the morn- ing . . . Burlington went home with our chastened kittens under their big strong arms . . . good-bye Wildcats . . . Do you remembered when Mr. Creitz took our band to Wichita to parade for the big Christmas opening and incidentally . . . to win the prize the Eagle was offer- ing . . . when a Yates Center band gets to a big town like Wichita they get lost, sometimes, . . . well, anyway, you remember we never dld find that judges stand . . . and lost the prize . . . after this they decided to take the band to the Band Clinic at Emporia . . . we think it did us some good. The juniors decided this was a very good time to show us what they could do along the line of dramatics . . . they presented the highly entertaining play, The Patsy . . . remember, they did it so pleasingly- that the public who got left out demanded that it be presented again in order that they might have the pleasure of witnessing it . . . The Wildcats are with us again in the form of a basketball team. . . remember how exciting that first game was . . . they had to play overtime to play off the tie . . . . then after a hard battle . . . lost by one point . . . keep up the good work. . . The second basketball game with Fredonia, just before Christmas vacation didn't put us into the holiday mood . . . and then for ten days of vacation and . . . Santa Claus . . . after Christmas we all returned to the grind with a determination for those semester exams weren't far off . . . some of us made A star . . . con- gratulations . . . others . . . well, better luck next time . . . Then the basketball season got into full swing . . . we played about a dozen or more games, but alas . . . there is a bright side . . . we won several of them, and all the rest . . . well, they were hard fought. . . Then, you remember, our debate team entered a number of tournaments . . . and made a very creditable showing . . . several other outstanding events in Febru- ary were. . . Senior chapel . . . Hi-Y-G. R. party in the gym . . . The track season got under way' in March with more men out than for the past several years . . . they really went places . . . and did things . . . those boys can run . . . remember how the daughters entertained their mothers on March 11 . . . rainbows . . . then the good ship Pinafore made its appearance on March 22 . . t'was a gallant ship indeed. . . April showers'??? no . . . blizzards . . . the usual unusual Kansas weather is more unusual than usual this year . . . then those Balmy days . . . a few have been innoculated against spring fever . . . but most of us succumbed to its rav- ages . . . Things happened in rapid succession after Easter . . . Junior-Senior banquet . . . Senior play, Lena Rivers . . . State' scholarship contests . . . music contests . . . track meets . . . tennis matches . . . and don't forget Rhoades' big fish. . . Then remember that last week . . . the seniors were gone . . . joy mingles with sorrow. . . they came back for Baccalaureate on May 15 . . . for class night May 17 . . . and commencement on the 18th . . . this is the last Round-Up . . . the seniors listended to the words of wisdom given by Dr. Brandenburg-the coveted sheep skins were received . . . fond farewells were spoken . . . a few tears shed . . . and the proud seniors mounted their prancing steeds and departed for new and greener pastures.

Initiation of the freshmen . . . this is always a bright spot . . . for the upper- classmen . . . do you remember how Briggs looked with all that rouge and lipstick on . . . and the little wagons . . . clothes on backward . . . well, we decided the poor freshies had about all they could take by this time, so we gave them a picnic . . . remember what fun it was going out to Stockebrand's grove on the truck . . . had to get off and walk over the bridges . . . got the inflated feeling that comes from being boss for that evening at least . . . rnade the freshmen carry wood to build fires and clean up the debris after it was over . . . gee, but it's great to be a senior . . . sometimes . . . Then September 24, the great day . . . Fredonia came to Yates Center for the first football game of the season . . . and took home some of our choicest Wild- cat pelts . . . poor kitties . . . the G. R. girls then felt the call of the wild and went out some place for a. picnic . . . didn't even invite the rest of us to go along . . . just wait, Hi-Y will get even with them yet . . . - I Gridley took its turn at knocking our poor bewildered Wild Cats all over the field . . . they took away so much fur that the poor beast had to spend some time growing a new coat . . .the Sophomores decide it was about time they get on some of those nice fall evenings when picnics are in order . . . the Wildcats decended on Garnett and came away . . . ruefully licking their wounds . . . first six weeks' tests . . . wonder if the teachers grade hard or . f. did I study enough . . . well we'll know soon . i. . Eureka and Madison took turns at our poor bewildered Wildcats . . . why don't they go way and leave us alone . . . we are beginning to feel weak from it all . . . Do you still remember what a Whoofenpoof is . . . Journalism Class certainly did a good piece of work that time . . . the corn husking contest was a great day for the band . . . no don't get me wrong . . . they didn't enter the contest and pull the most ears . . . only went to Humboldt and furnished inspiration for those who were contesting . . . oh, yes, remember the Wildcats went to Madison and came home almost victorious . . . that was a grand game . . . really furnished some ex- citement . . . then there came the football game with Altoona . . . not so good . . .
