Gladys  Hudson,  '23. 

CYRUS  Holmes,  Taney  Town's  big  postmaster,  leaned  through  the  post- 
master's window,  talking  to  a  small  girl,  Dodo,  aged  five,  who  was  much 
enthused  about  talking  to  Uncle  Cy. 

"Come,  Dora.     Come  here  at  once,"  a  woman's  voice  called  sharply. 

Almost  before  Cyrus  Holmes  realized  it,  the  little  visitor  was  whisked  away 
out  of  his  sight  by  her  mother,  who  never  wanted  Dodo  to  talk  to  Uncle  Cy. 
And  Cyrus  wondered. 

At  the  supper  table  Cyrus  wondered  again.  Mother  was  unusually  quiet. 
Even  Bee,  their  youngest  daughter,  and  the  only  one  at  home  now,  was  silent, 
although  usually  such  a  chatterbox.  Soon  the  feeling  that  he  was  being  watched 
became  unbearable. 

"What's  the  matter  that  Bee  isn't  going  to  the  dance  with  Dan?"  He 
asked  slowly,  turning  to  his  wife.    "If  it's  the  clothes,  we'll  manage  that." 

"It's  not  the  clothes,  but  I  think  there's  some  trouble  between  Dan  and 
Bee,"  she  stammered,  and  set  hurriedly  to  picking  up  the  dishes. 

'  Cyrus  arose  and  ambled  off  to  the  barn,  followed  by  Dickie,  the  ancient 
spaniel.  Amid  the  clutter  of  miniature  houses,  in  his  work  room  under  the 
rafters  he  began  to  think. 

Once  he  had  longed  to  be  a  great  architect,  so  when  the  children  came  he 
built  doll  houses  for  them.  Gradually  his  children  grew  up  and  the  little  girls 
of  Taney  Town  all  brought  Uncle  Cy  bits  of  flowered  silk  and  wall  paper,  lace 
from  candy  boxes  and  the  like,  and  adored  him  as  he  formed  the  tiny  trifles 
into  lace  curtains,  and  dimunitive  upholstered  chairs. 

He  especially  adored  all  things  Elizabethan,  and  occupied  himself  in  copy- 
ing in  detail  an  Elizabethan  banquet  hall  with  it's  great  oak  table,  it's  tapestries 

and  armor.  . 

Cyrus  pressed  Dickies  head  tightly  between  the  palms  of  his  hands,  rose 
and  groped  for  the  lantern  near  by.  For  a  long  time  bending  there  in  the 
flickering  light  of  the  lantern,  he  worked  in  utter  content  at  a  morsel  of  difficult 
carving. 


Dan's  voice  carried  to  him  from  the  gateway  where  he  heard,  "Why,  your 
father-".  The  words  trailed  off  into  nothingness.  "If  you  won't  understand 
then—  I  won't  go  to  the  dance  with  you,"  he  heard  from  Bee. 

What  ever  the  fault  it  was  not  Dan's,  he  thought,  as  he  slipped  into  the 
kitchen  dour.     Why  had  his  name  been  mentioned  in  the  talk  at  the  gate? 

The  following  day  Miss  Polly  Primsall,  who  saw  Cyrus  dressing  a  little 
colonial  lady  to  rule  over  a  colonial  house  (and  which  he  had  smuggled  down 
to  the  postoflice  to  work  on  during  slack  hours)  declared,  "It's  wors'n  Sam 
Dean  who  knits.    There's  some  sense  in  his  knitting." 

( V,  who  overheard  the  expression,  knew  she  was  comparing  him  to  a  man 
who  had  a  mind  like  a  woman's.    This  contempt  touched  him  in  a  raw  spot. 

The  first  real  blow  fell  on  the  following  morning,  however,  when  Tom 
Dillon,  President  of  the  Union  Bank  and  the  big  political  man  of  Taney  Town, 
quietly  informed  Cy  that  he  was  serving  his  last  term  as  postmaster.  Yet  Cy 
had  been  so  faithful  to  his  work,  and  moreover  without  a  single  complaint 
from  Dillon. 

Cyrus  finished  the  morning  routine  and  found  himself  alone  in  his  own 
barn  loft.  There  was  something  back  of  it — Tom  Dillon  who  had  been  a  friend 
from  school  days;  and  if  Tom  switched  there  was  a  reason.  He  had  felt  for 
a  wick  as  if  something  was  working  against  him;  as  though  the  whole  town 
had  a  secret  from  which  he  alone  was  shut  out. 

Sitting  there  by  the  open  window  Cyrus  heard  voices  and  a  sound  like 
falling  pebbles.    Mother  and  Bee  were  shelling  peas  on  the  back  porch. 

"  It's  been  growing  on  him,"  sighed  Mother,  "But  you  are  a  foolish  girl, 
Bee.     Dan's  folks  would  get  over  it." 

"  1  tell  yon  I  can't  do  it.  Dan  is  hard  to  manage,  Mother.  If  I  could  only 
get  away." 

"We've  got  to  be  careful,  though.  Dad  mustn't  suspect  it.  If  we  could 
only  get  the  play  houses  away  from  him,  and  get  his  mind  on  something  else." 

So  that  was  it—.  The  meaning  of  the  misunderstanding  between  Bee  and 
Dan.  tin  reason  Dodo  was  no  longer  safe  with  him,  and  the  reason  he  could  no 
longer  be  postmaster.     They  thought  he,  Cyrus  Holmes  was  insane. 

Hi-  would  show  them.  He  would  burn  the  doll  houses,  and  stay  home 
nights,  reading  the  newspaper  as  other  men  did.  The  people  were  fools,  every 
one  "f  them, 

Ha.k  at  the  postoffice  he  sat  brooding  over  the  little  colonial  house  when 
suddenly  the  door  slammed  and  standing  before  him  was  a  vision.  A  child 
golden  hau  and  shell-pink  daintiness  suggested  a  fairy  princess  done  in 
jrster-eoiora  The  child  stood  laughing  up  at  Cyrus.  She  reminded  him  of 
Dodo,  Lot  instead  of  being  round  like  a  gum  drop,  she  was  fragile  like  a  rose 
Petal,  and  he  realised  that  her  frock  was  unknown  in  the  little  town  of  Taney. 
S\Kia.  oh.  Sylvia."  called  a  woman's  voice  which  Cyrus  knew  to  be 
Itrange.     "Naughty  girl,"  scolded  the  mother,  "She  runs  away." 


She  took  the  child  in  her  arms  and  inquired  of  Cyrus,  "Is  there  a  hotel 
here?" 

"Taney  Town  has  one  hotel,"  stammered  Cyrus,  "but  who  wants  such  a 
fairy  child  as  that  to  be  taken  to  that  dingy  place?  We  have  a  spare  room,  so 
come  home  with  me." 

' '  Hugh,  dear, ' '  she  said,  wheeling  to  face  the  dark-skinned  young  man  who 
entered.     "The  postmaster  says  he's  a  spare  room." 

"It's  mighty  fine  of  you.    My  name's  Laidlow — my  wife  and  child." 

' '  And  I  'm  Cyrus  Holmes. ' ' 

Supper  went  well.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Laidlow  hailed  from  New  York  and  were 
jolly  young  people.  Mrs.  Laidlow  and  Mother  talked  of  jams  while  Sylvia 
played  with  Dickie.  Cyrus,  finding  himself  superfluous  slipped  away  to  the 
loft  when  the  meal  was  over. 

Dickie  padded  after  him,  Sylvia  trailing.  On  the  threshold  she  caught  her 
breath.  "Oh,"  she  cried,  dropping  to  the  floor  bfeore  the  little  colonial  house. 
"Sylvia's  house." 

"Does  Sylvia  like  it  now?" 

"But  now,  Uncle  Cy's  forgotten.  We're  going  to  make  a  bon-fire  out  of 
this  great  big  beautiful  house.     Sylvia  can  watch  it  burn." 

"No."  cried  the  child,  stamping  her  foot.  "No,  Sylvia's  house."  And 
suddenly  bursting  into  tears  she  ran  sobbing  from  the  barn. 

Cyrus  was  still  standing  helpless  when  she  returned  dragging  her  mother 
with  her.  "Why,  it's  colonial.  Even  the  spinning  wheel,"  exclaimed  Mrs. 
Laidlow.    Her  glance  leapt  from  one  house  to  another. 

"Claire's  crazy  over  colonial  stuff,"  her  husband  remarked  coming  in. 
"You've  struck  her  hobby.     She  haunts  unique  places." 

"But  you've  struck  something  else,"  he  said,  eyes  narrowing.  I  sold  a  doll 
house  to  a  wealthy  customer  last  Christmas  for  a  hundred  and  fifty  dollars. 
I'm  in  the  business,  and  if  I  had  a  couple  of  these  for  window  features — " 

"Down  here  in  a  little  town  like  this,  when  he's  so  marvelous.  Why,  Hugh, 
it  isn't  right.  Anyone  who  can  design  things  like  this  ought  to  do  something 
big,  Mr.  Holmes." 

"I  was  going  to,  once."  Cyrus'  eyes  were  vague  like  an  old  man's  "but 
I  been  building  doll  houses  so  long,  I  doubt  if  I  could  ever  do  anything  else." 

"Bosh,"  cut  in  the  younger  man.  "The  value  of  the  things  is  in  the 
uniqueness. ' ' 

Later  mother  found  an  envelope  in  the  house  containing  fifty  dollars  from 
Mrs.  Laidlow  for  the  doll  house. 

"Seems  like  robbery,"  said  Cy,  "but  I  guess  Mr.  Laidlow  knows.  Here 
Bee,  take  this  money  and  go  to  the  dance  tonight,  will  you?". 

His  daughter  stared  at  the  money  in  bewilderment;  then  took  the  note 
from  her  mother's  hand  and  read  it  twice. 


( ,n  a  September  morning  two  months  later,  Cyrus  sat  in  the  postoffice  and  re- 
read the  amazing  article  on  "Uncle  Cy-The  Man  Who  Builds  Doll  Houses 
Tme,  it  was  only  a  little  "People  Who  Are  Doing  Curious  Things      article 
■queered  into  a  half  a  page;  but  the  magazine  was  very  prominent. 

Even  Tom  Dillon  was  urging  Cy  to  start  his  bank  account  with  the  Union 
Hank,  for,  he  pointed  out  to  Cy,  that  so  much  money  left  around  the  house 
might  be  stolen. 

•  ■  Wt-11.  I   might  consider  giving  Bee  the  position  she  wanted,"  laughed 

Dillun. 

■So,  she  and  Dan  are  going  to  be  married,  I  think,"  replied  Cy. 

"I  see,"  twinkled  Dillon,  "and  I  can't  say  I'm  surprised." 

Tom  left  ( !y  in  a  splendid  stupor  which  he  came  out  of  to  find  Dodo's  small 
fae  tilted  toward  him.  His  heart  fell— she  covered  her  face  with  a  tiny  hand 
as  if  in  fear.  But  wait— she  was  peeping  at  him  through  spreading  fingers, 
laughing.  Cyrus  was  only  conscious  of  the  smiling  neighbors  as  he  swung  her 
Dp  to  the  window  ledge. 

"Could  Uncle  Cy  use  pretty  stones  that  Dodo  finds,  could  he?"  she  asked, 
patting  his  cheek. 

"Pretty  stones?"  His  hand  clasped  over  her  sticky  fists.  "Why  Uncle 
Cy  could  use  pretty  stones  any  number  of  ways."

THE  sun  is  sinking  in  the  west, 
The  day  is  done. 
The  birds  fly  homeward  to  their  nests, 
The  whole  wide  world  is  seeking  rest, 
Low  sinks  the  sun. 

The  last  light  zephyr  has  gasped  out, 

Night's  mantle  falls, 
The  blundering  beetle  drones  about, 
The  cock  gives  out  a  final  shout, 

The  night  wind  calls. 

The  bull-frog  in  the  marsh  below 

Begins  his  song, 
The  robin  in  the  dark  hedge-row 
Sings  sleepily.    The  fireflies  glow, 

Shadows  are  long. 

The  first  faint  star  turns  up  it's  light 

And  twinkles  clear, 
The  faithful  watchman  of  the  night. 
Above  all,  God,  who  guides  aright 

Till  day  appear.

Singing  his  song  for  all.

Franklin  Swain,  '23. 


DISK  was  settling  over  the  city  when  two  gentlmen  seated  themselves  near 
the  open  grate  fire  in  a  private  room  of  the  most  exclusive  men's  club 
in  New  York.  One,  whom  we  shall  call  The  Man,  was  rather  tall  and 
well  bllilt  with  dark  hair,  faintly  tinged  with  gray.  The  man's  features  were 
not  of  unusual  type  except  that  there  was  a  long  white  scar  under  his  chin 
running  all  the  way  across,  but  scarcely  noticeable  unless  his  head  was  thrown 
backward.  The  other  was  The  Cynic,  who  was  slightly  shorter  and  who  looked 
to  be  forty  years  old,  about  the  same  age  of  his  companion.  Both  wore  evening 
elothee  and  both  looked  to  be  successful. 

The  Cynic  leaned  forward  and  stirred  the  dying  embers  of  the  fire,  which 
immediately  blazed  forth,  sending  a  shower  of  sparks  which  shot  upward  for  a 
fraction  of  a  moment,  then  died  again. 

"How  like  a  dormant  being  who  receives  an  inspirational  stirring  up  and 
blazes  forth  with  all  the  fire  and  energy  of  youth,  only  to  die  out  from  lack  of 
repeated  encouragement,"  observed  the  Man. 

"True  indeed,  my  friend,"  was  the  Cynic's  rejoining  answer. 

The  fire  was  the  only  means  of  illumination  in  the  room  and  it  cast  strange 
grotetqne  yd  beautiful  flickering  shadows  on  the  walls  and  ceiling.  Neither 
■poke  for  several  minutes,  but  were  engrossed  in  the  fantastic  figures  made  by 
the  tongues  of  flame  as  now  and  then  they  leaped  up,  only  to  vanish  again. 

"I  must  thank  you  kindly  for  the  gracious  hospitality  tendered  me  by  your 
dab,  while  I  am  in  your  city,"  said  the  Man. 

"Pleaee  do  not  mention  it.    'Birds  of  a  feather, '—you  know.    We  are  both 
led  in  steel.    But  let  us  make  the  best  of  the  passing  time.    Pardon  my 

forgetfulnea,  but  you  arc  leaving ?" 

\t  eight  o'dock.    We  haven't  long,"  said  the  Man. 

They  both  lapsed  into  a  reverie,  gazing  into  the  fire.     Finally,  the  Cynic 

Moil  the  silence. 

I  his  ||  a  world  of  misdemeanor,  penitence  and  forgiveness,  is  it  not?" 
no  a«kfd. 


" Ah !  Perhaps  you  are  thinking  of  the  Governor's  pardon  to  James  Ruskin, 
the  forger." 

''Exactly.  I  do  not  approve  of  giving  pardons  as  Christmas  gifts  to  world- 
renowned  law-breakers,"  said  the  Cynic. 

"Perhaps  it  is  for  the  best.    He  might  'go  straight'  as  they  say." 
"Bah!     He  might  discover  a  fifth  dimension,  but — ah,  quite  improbable, 
you  know." 

"Pardon  my  frankness,  my  gracious  host,  but  you  are  a  bit,  ah — cynical, 
are  you  not?    Will  you  try  one?"  the  man  asked,  extending  a  case  of  cigars. 

"Thank  you.  No,  I  believe  a  man  cannot  be  changed  morally  after  his 
twentieth  year.  I  base  my  statements  upon  statistics.  In  their  parlance,  'Once 
a  crook,  always  a  crook'." 

"Then  perhaps  you  would  care  to  listen  to  an  interesting  little  story,  at 
least  it  seems  so  to  me,"  said  the  Man. 

' '  Certainly,  if  you  please. ' ' 

"The  Man  lighted  his  cigar,  expelled  the  smoke,  and  began: 

"It  was  fifteen  years  ago.  I  was  acquainted  with  a  young  man,  very  well 
acquainted,  in  fact,  with  this  man  who  had  nothing  in  the  world  to  worry  about. 
His  father  had  died,  leaving  him  a  small  fortune  in  some  mining  stock  in  Chile. 
He  'lived  high'  until  one  day  there  came  a  sharp  decline  and  the  bottom  dropped 
out  of  his  stock.  He  was  left  penniless  and  without  vocational  training  of 
any  kind.  He  sought  work  but  in  vain.  His  reputation  had  been  that  of  a 
spendthrift,  an  idler,  and  so  he  tried  the  more  questionable  means.  Newspapers 
of  his  town,  for  the  next  few  months  carried  accounts  of  small  burglaries  and 
thefts,  person  or  persons  implicated  unknown.  There  came  a  larger  attempt. 
This  boy  next  tried  to  rob  the  offices  of  a  large  steel  foundry  in  a  town  of  about 
sixty  thousand.  Would  that  God  might  have  put  this  incident  in  his  path 
sooner.  He  gained  entrance  to  the  building  and  knelt  in  front  of  the  safe. 
After  repeated  attempts  at  the  dial  failed  to  open  the  heavy  door,  he  became 
less  cautious.  One  can  imagine  his  surprise  and  dismay,  when,  upon  seeing  the 
lights  turned  on,  he  wheeled  about  and  found  the  night-watchman  staring 
mildly  at  him. 

"  'I  imagine  that  is  nerve  racking  work,'  said  the  watchman.  The  boy 
was  speechless  with  fright." 

Here  the  Man  leaned  forward  and  nicked  the  ashes  in  the  glowing  embers 
of  the  fire.  Had  he  chanced  to  glance  at  the  Cynic  he  would  have  seen  him 
lean  forward  with  an  expression  of  incredulity  on  his  face. 

' '  The  boy  seemed  to  realize  his  position  and  sat  down  limply  in  a  chair. 

"  'My  God!  why  am  I  doing  this?'  he  cried." 

"  'Yes,  why  are  you  doing  this?'  the  watchman  said  quietly.  He  crossed 
to  the  chair  and  placed  his  hand  on  the  boy's  back." 


"  'This  is  an  embarrassing  position,'  he  continued,  'but  you  are  young;  you 
have  the  world  before  you,  and  forty  years  possibly  in  which  to  atone  and 
counteract.    My  boy,  it  docs  not  pay.'  " 

"There  followed  a  silence,  as  still  as  death,  in  which  the  office  clock  could 
be  beard  as  though  it  were  measuring  off  the  centuries  of  eternity.  Then  the 
watchman  fumbled  in  his  pocket,  brought  forth  a  crumpled  bill  and  extended 
it  to  the  boy.    He  looked  up  in  surprise." 

•  Take  it,  son,'  said  the  watchman,  'and  go  East  or  West  for  a  fresh 
start.'" 

<<  ' Why— I— y-you— I  couldn't  take  it.'  " 

"  'Consider  it  as  a  trade,  then.    I'll  give  you  ten  dollars  for  your  lantern.' 

The  boy  arose  unsteadily  and  extended  his  hand.     The  watchman  grasped  it 

and  removed  his  hat."    Here  the  Man  glanced  at  his  watch,  then  continued, 

"Together  they  passed  out  the  door  into  the  dark  street."    The  Man  arose  and 

.1  to  his  hat  and  coat. 

"It  is  getting  late.  My  train  leaves  shortly  but  I  will  finish  hurriedly.  The 
last  thing  the  watchman  said  was,  'Try  it  all  over  again,  my  boy.  Life  is 
beautiful  if  it  is  seen  from  the  right  side,  and  remember,  a  good  name  is  the 
most  valuable  asset  a  man  may  have.'  The  boy  promised  the  watchman  he 
would  try  to  succeed  and  he  has.    There,  my  friend,  are  you  convinced?" 

"I  am.  And  I  see  you  have  become  a  success."  The  Cynic  rose  while  the 
Man  whirled  around,  facing  him,  and  continued,  "I  was  the  night  watchman 
that  night"

SAW  a  cow  slip  through  the  fence 

A  horse  fly  in  the  store; 
I  saw  a  board  walk  up  the  street, 

A  stone  step  by  the  door. 

I  saw  a  mill  race  up  the  road, 
Morning  break  the  gloom; 

I  saw  a  night  fall  on  the  lawn, 
A  clock  run  in  the  room. 

I  saw  a  peanut  stand  up  high, 

A  sardine  box  in  town; 
I  saw  a  bed  spring  at  the  gate, 

An  ink  stand  on  the  ground.

Osborne  Fisciibach,  '23. 

HE  setting  sun  with  wistful  glow 

Shines  o'er  the  the  ivy-covered  wall — 
It's  last  faint  gleams  in  glory  fall 
Through  a  small  chink  into  a  cell 

Of  Brother  Ambrose  deep  immersed 

In  prayers, 
The  which  he  oft  rehearsed. 

And  as  the  holy  man  turned  o'er 
The  beads  with  many  an  ave 
And  trembling  pater  noster  grave, 
The  last  dim  tokens  of  the  day 

Shone  on  his  old  and  seamed  face 

And  piercing  eyes — 
He  seemed  as  in  a  hallowed  place. 

And  now  the  cloister  bell  peals  forth, 
Ah!    Tintinabulum  so  clear, 
So  free,  so  bright,  and  yet  so  drear. 
Whence  thy  power  o'er  mind  and  heart 
To  sorely  try — exhilirate 

By  strains 
Thy  limpid  tones  reverberate. 

Faster  and  faster  falls  nocturnal  gloom; 
The  strident  frog  begins  to  sing, 
The  cricket  green  virbates  its  wing, 
And  other  sounds  of  like  import 

Re-echo  through  the  sultry  night, 

And  such  a  night! 
By  angels,  spirits,  genii  bedight. 

"Clink,  clank'"'  the  weighty  gates  are  heaving  to — 
The  porter's  light  weaves  in  and  out 
As  to  his  cot  he  takes  his  route. 
Hush!  All  is  still!   All'd  quiet! 

Within  the  hall  the  brothers  all 
Are  sleeping.

Edith  Zimmerman,   '23. 

HIS  name  was  Son.  There  wouldn't  be  any  better  and  bigger  name  for  a 
four-year-old.  His  mother  was  a  little  woman  with  a  disposition  of 
captivating  exactness.  Yes,  her  son  was  just  like  her. 
was  well  liked  by  his  grandparents,  and  uncle  and  aunts,  and  could 
have  bad  as  many  homes  as  he  desired.  First  of  all  there  was  the  home  of  his 
mother  and  father.  Then  that  of  his  grandmother  Perkins'  home  and  his  grand- 
Diother  Bolliater'8  home.  But  the  first  and  second  were  the  ones  he  liked  best. 
Mother,  auntie  and  all  the  grandparents  thought  Son  as  nearly  perfect  as  a 
child  could  be.  Only  his  father  was  not  satisfied  with  the  perfection,  and  at 
times  would  grumble  thus: 

••  I  tell  you  Betsy,  he's  too  good  to  be  true.  You  take  a  thing  from  him — 
does  he  howl  I  No.  It  isn't  natural.  Now  I  ask  you,  what  kind  of  a  man  is 
he  going  to  make,  it*  he  fails  to  develop  some  spunk?" 

"Wait,"  was  always  Betsy's  answer.  "You  forget  because  he  is  so  big 
thai  ho  is  only  a  four-year-old." 

"Yes,  but  a  four-year-old  who  wears  a  six-year-old  suit  isn't  a  baby," 
retorted  father. 

Son  wasn't  like  the  other  boys  of  the  neighborhood.  For  whenever  other 
boys  plucked  a  flower  Son  would  do  his  best  at  repairing  their  damage  by 
replanting  it. 

Son's  father  was  a  college  man  even  if  at  times  he  alluded  to  his  son  as 
a  "mush  head." 

When  Son's  Aunt  Margaret  wrote  letters  sending  him  kisses  of  crosses,  he 
would  counl  them  carefully  and  slip  them  into  his  pocket  and  keep  them  until 
a  time  came  f<>  redeem  them. 

"  ^  -mi  can'1  beal  him  at  a  love  game,"  his  father  exploded  contemptuously 
MM  Sunday  morning  after  he  had  come  upon  Son  searching  the  hamper  of 
soiled  clothes  for  the  discarded  suit  of  the  day  before. 

"Mj  Aunt  Marg's  tisscs,"  Son  explained  as  he  fished  the  kisses  out  and 
I""  them  in  the  pockel  of  the  white  linen  suit  he  had  on. 

"Mush  head,"  commented  his  father.    His  Auntie  Marg  was  coming  that 
md  Su„  Was  going  out  to  watch  for  her.     So  he  went  forth— wide  blue 
eontented  eyes  beneath  a  crop  of  curly  yellow  hair. 

•"•  reached  the  street  he  came  upon  six-year-old  Ted  Jones,  the  bully 

red  s  mother  had  just  been  disciplining  him  by  making  him 

•  little  sister's  shoes,  and  help  his  little  brother  into  his  clothes.     By 

revenge,   Ped  was  kicking  the  tree  in  front  of  Son's  house  with  all  his 


might  and  main,  there  being  in  sight  no  living  thing  with  which  he  could 
pick  a  fight. 

"Hello,  Ted,"  Son  said  in  his  genial  manner.  Ted  gave  the  tree  an  even 
more  vicious  kick.  Ted  looked  at  Son's  satiny  legs  as  if  he  were  wishing  that 
they  stood  where  the  tree  did. 

"You  waitin'  to  see  Auntie  Marg  come?"  beamed  Son. 

"Shut  up,"  came  from  the  other. 

"My  Auntie  is  coming."  He  smiled  unconcernedly  and  was  turning  away 
when  fate  took  a  hand. 

Inside  Son's  pocket  his  hand  was  closed  over  those  kisses.  He  brought 
them  forth  and  displayed  them  proudly. 

"See  my  Auntie  Marg's  tisses,  Ted?     See,  one,  two,  three,  four,  five." 

Ted  spat  contemptuously  on  the  ground.  "Who  cares  for  your  Aunt 
Marg?"  he  growled.  Then  with  a  quick  ugliness  he  snatched  the  paper  from 
Son's  hand  and  tore  it  into  bits  and  scattered  it  to  the  winds.  After  which  he 
looked  at  Son  with  the  expression  "Well,  what  are  you  going  to  do  about  it?" 

At  first  Son's  lip  quivered,  then  something  inside  him  began  to  boil.  Next 
his  hands  were  clenched  and  he  shot  forward  like  a  shot. 

It  was  a  whirlwind  fight  while  it  lasted.  The  two  figures  seemed  as  one. 
Now  they  were  down,  rolling,  striking. 

From  a  window  two  people  were  watching.  They  had  seen  the  start.  As 
they  watched  Betsy  rung  her  hands  and  wept,  Avhile  her  husband  held  her 
with  a  merciless  grip  from  interference. 

"Let  him  finish,  let  him  finish." 

"He'll  be  killed,"  sobbed  Betsy.     "Oh,  let  me  go." 

"Ted's  going  home,"  said  father. 

Son  brushed  a  hand  across  his  eyes.  There  was  a  scratch  across  his  cheek 
and  a  growing  bump  on  his  forehead,  and  his  white  linen  suit  was  dirty.  But 
Son  wrasn't  thinking  of  himself.  With  careful  diligence  he  was  gathering  up 
the  scraps  of  the  precious  paper.     Then  he  made  for  the  house  and  came  in. 

"He  tore  up  my  Auntie  Marg's  tisses.     That's  why  I  fought  him." 

Son's  father  coughed  as  he  realized  that  Son  knew  that  he  had  done  some- 
thing wrong.  It  was  up  to  him  to  give  the  child  a  lecture.  But  how  could  he 
when  he  was  filled  with  the  keenest  satisfaction?  Then  noticing  that  Son  and 
mother  were  rushing  into  each  other's  arms,  he  quietly  loft  the  room. 

Outside  the  door  he  said  to  himself,  "He's  my  son,  all  right,  but  who  would 
have  thought  that  of  him."  Then  he  laughed  and  taking  his  hat  slipped 
outdoors.

HE  afternoon  light  is  fast  fading 

As  the  sun 

Anxious  to  reach  his  destination  beyond 

The  horizon 

Hastens  with  increased  speed 

Westward. 

The  western  sky  is  ablaze  with  glory, 

And  the  waning  light  of  the  sun  gradually 

Blends  with  the  marvelous  rainbow 

Of  the  sunset  and  is  at  last  lost 

In  the  glorified  heavens, 

And  it  is  dusk. 

A  soft  brooding  peace  falls  over  the  world, 

And  silence,  like  a  winged  messenger  from  the  sky 

Steals  over  the  earth. 

It  envelopes  the  most  remote  corners, 

And  all  is  still 

Save  for  the  gentle  cooing  of  the  turtle-dove, 

The  subdued  sounds  of  crickets, 

And  a  few  last  sleepy  chirps  of  birds  hardly  awake. 

A  gray  cloud  gently  enfolds 

The  silent  world, 

For  a  few  moments  it  remains 

Then  comes  the  night  like  a  peaceful 

Angel  of  Rest 

And  the  moon  like  a  guardian  angel. 

The  little  stars  twinkle  cheerfully 

And  rival  the  village  lights 

In  brightness. 

Then  the  lights  disappear 

But  the  stars  remain 

And  the  moon  sheds  her  benign  brilliance 

( hrer  all. 

And   the  world  sleeps.

George  Wilson,  '23. 

IN  a  small,  tumbled  down  house  on  a  narrow,  dirty  street  in  Petrograd  lived 
an  old  cobbler.  He  was  so  old  that  even  grandmothers  called  him  uncle. 
He  was  at  peace  with  the  world  now,  for  he  had  come  to  regard  his  fellow 
men  as  little  children,  who  make  little,  playful  mistakes,  but  who  are  usually 
good  at  heart. 

He  was  bent  over  his  last  pair  of  shoes  that  night,  for  it  was  Christmas  Eve, 
and  he  had  some  work  to  do  before  he  went  to  his  little  bed  to  sleep. 

Upon  finishing  his  work,  he  arose  and  crossed  over  to  the  fireside.  There 
he  sat  and  read  the  only  text-book  he  had,  the  Bible. 

He  read  of  the  birth  of  Christ,  and  of  all  the  humility  which  accompanied 
Him  into  the  world. 

As  he  read  on,  he  became  more  reconciled  to  his  own  condition  in  life.  He 
began  to  realize  that  humbleness  is  a  real  blessing  and  not  a  curse;  that  meek- 
Q(  -^  is  not  to  be  scoffed  at,  nor  lowliness  to  be  spurned. 

When  he  stopped  reading,  he  sat  in  his  chair  a  long  time  dreaming. 

Jt  was  Christmas  day,  a  typical  Christmas — everything  was  covered  with 
snow  and  it  was  bitter  cold.  As  he  climbed  out  of  bed,  he  heard  the  chimes  of 
the  cathedral  ringing.    They  seemed  to  say,  "Christ  has  come!  Christ  has  come!" 

As  he  heard  them  he  thought,  "How  wonderful  it  would  be  if  Christ  would 
come,  if  He  would  come  to  my  house." 

•Inst  then  a  knock  came  at  his  door.  He  immediately  left  off  preparing 
his  breakfast  and  opened  the  door.    There  before  him  stood  a  dirty,  hungry  boy. 

".Mister,  may  I  come  in  and  get  warm,  I'm  so  cold?" 

Th<'  heartstrings  of  the  old  cobbler  were  touched,  and  he  ushered  the  boy 
into  the  room  with,  "Of  course  you  can.     Of  course  you  can." 

II.   took  him  in,  warmed  and  fed  him,  and  then  set  him  down  to  talk. 

"  You,  sec,  Sir,"  the  boy  said,  "I  haven't  any  home,  or  father  or  mother.  I 
ini  tin  only  one  left  of  our  family.    The  rest  were  all  killed  by  the  Anarchists." 

Presently  the  boy  made  preparations  fo  leaving.  The  old  man,  perceiving 
this,  said,  "Won't  yon  stay  with  me  over  the  Christmas  day,  my  son,  and  we 
will  be  happy  and  worship  together?" 

On,,  look  out  through  the  flying  snow  decided  the  boy. 

"I  11  stay,  but  I  can  never  thank  you  for  all  that  you  have  done  for  me." 

A  little  before  noon  another  knock  came  at  the  door.  When  the  door  was 
opened  a  poor,  ragged  mother  carrying  an  infant  was  standing  on  the  threshold. 
Have  yon  anything  1  can  eat?"  she  asked,  "I  have  not  eaten  for  so  long 
thai   I   cannot   remember  the  last  meal." 


As  the  old  cobbler  sat  and  watched  the  woman  and  boy  eat,  he  could  not 
help  but  feel  compassion  toward  them. 

He  thought  of  his  own  boy,  now  buried  in  the  graveyard  close  by  the  greal 
cathedral.  He  thought  of  his  mother,  his  father,  and  his  dear,  loving  wife 
they  were  all  side  by  side  now,  and  he  would  soon  join  them. 

When  he  saw  how  much  he  could  do  for  a  few  of  these  wandering  peasants 
his  heart  was  sore  because  he  could  not  do  more.  He  could  not  understand  hov 
any  good  God  could  look  down  unmoved  and  see  His  children  suffer  and  die, 
innocently. 

When  the  meal  was  over  the  mother  rose  to  go. 

"No,  no,  Dear  Lady,  I  want  you  to  stay  and  enjoy  the  warmth  and  Christ- 
mas spirit  with  the  boy  and  me." 

All  afternoon  they  talked  and  read.  The  woman,  he  found,  was  well  edu- 
cated, despite  her  poor  and  impoverished  condition.  The  story  she  told  was 
pitiful  in  the  extreme.  She  had  been  the  wife  of  a  rich  merchant,  and  the 
mother  of  a  healthy,  happy  family.  When  the  war  came,  her  husband  sold  the 
business  and  left  her  the  money.  He  went  to  war  and  was  killed.  Then,  when 
the  Radicals  came  into  power,  they  seized  all  her  possessions,  gave  her  to  an 
officer  in  the  Bolshevik  army,  took  her  daughters  to  the  auction  block,  and 
killed  her  soils,  who  had  resisted  them.  She  had  escaped  her  martial  husband, 
and  had  been  wandering  in  the  streets  of  the  city  for  days  with  her  little  babe 
in  her  arms. 

As  she  finished  her  story,  the  old  cobbler  got  up  from  his  chair  and  went 
over  to  the  fire  to  replenish  it.  He  remembered  that  he  had  fixed  the  fire  before 
she  had  commenced  her  story,  but  he  had  to  do  something  to  hid  his  emotions. 
He  could  hardly  believe  that  he  had  been  living  in  peaee  and  comparative  pros- 
perity, while  all  around  him  was  suffering  and  the  commission  of  horrible  crimes. 
Now7  as  he  looked  upon  this  poor,  outcast  mother  and  this  poof,  destitute 
orphan,  he  thought  again  of  all  the  unnecessary  misery  which  men  and  women, 
seemingly,  have  to  suffer. 

"I  am  an  old  man,  a  very  old  man,  yet  I  can  make  enough  to  keep  us  all. 
if  you  will  stay  here  with  me. ' ' 

The  mother  looked  at  him  dumbfounded.  She  could  not  believe  her  ears. 
She  could  not  believe  that  so  much  good  could  exist  in  the  world,  and  where  it 
could  be  expected  least — in  the  heart  of  a  great  city,  which  was  the  headquarters 
of  the  most  brutual  organization  that  man  could  devise. 

"Well — "  she  stopped,  for  her  heart  was  too  full  for  speech.  "I  have 
looked  long  for  a  place  to  stay." 

"Oh,  that's  all  right,  we  can  get  along  nicely,"  he  said,  "I  have  long 
needed  a  housekeeper,  and  I  really  need  a  boy  to  run  errands  for  me." 

That  night,  after  he  had  found  room  for  all  of  them,  he  pulled  his  chair  up 
before  the  fire.  As  he  was  sitting  drowsily  thinking  of  the  day's  adventure,  a 
man  stepped  before  him. 


He  Looked  at  him  wonderingly.  The  door  was  closed  and  barred.  How 
could  anyone  have  gotten  in  without  being  heard?  Then  the  man  spoke.  His 
countenance  was  all  aflame. 

"  I  know  all  you  have  done  today.  I  heard  you  wish  that  Christ  would  come 
into  y..iir  home.  Three  times  today  He  has  come:  first,  when  you  took  in  the 
hungering,  shivering  boy;  second,  when  you  fed  and  warmed  the  mother  and 
her  child;  third  when  you  asked  them  to  remain  with  you  and  live.  Good,  as 
well  w  evil  has  its  reward.  You  have  won  yours.  I  have  come  from  my  Father 
t<<  bring  you  a  message  of  love,  for  He  has  also  seen  the  good  works  that  you 
have  done,  and  He  bids  me  tell  you  that  God  is  always  with  His  children,  and 
in  an  hour  of  trial  you  should  not  doubt,  for  He  has  placed  such  good  people 
in  the  world  as  you,  to  do  His  good  work  for  Him." 

As  the  Vision  vanished  the  old  cobbler  awoke.  He  rose  and  went  to  the 
window — the  dawn  of  Christmas  Day  was  breaking. 

My,  my,  I  must  have  slept  the  whole  night  through."

O  your  best,  your  very  best, 
And  do  it  every  day; 

Little  girls  and  little  boys, 
That  is  the  wisest  way. 


What  ever  work  comes  to  your  hand. 
At  home  or  at  your  school ; 

Do  your  best  with  right  good  will, 
It  is  a  golden  rule. 

For  he  who  always  does  his  best, 

Will  ever  better  grow ; 
But  he  who  shirks  or  slights  his  task, 

Lets  all  the  better  go. 

What  if  your  lessons  should  be  hard? 

You  need  not  yield  to  sorrow ; 
For  he  who  bravely  works  to-day, 

More  brightly  greets  each  'morrow.

HAVE  a  lovely  maltese  cat, 

Katsumi  is  her  name. 
Oft  has  she  killed  the  wicked  rat; 

Known  far  and  wide  her  fame. 

She  runs  and  jumps  and  purrs  and  plays, 
She  eats  and  sleeps  and  doses; 

She  has  such  very  cunning  ways, 
She's  just  as  sweet  as  roses. 

When  I  go  out  to  take  a  walk 

That  cat  is  sure  to  follow ; 
It  does  no  good  at  all  to  talk, 

She  comes  o'er  hill  and  hollow. 

When  I  grow  old  and  weak  and  gray, 

May  I  have  friends  as  true; 
Who  in  joy  or  sorrow  shall  stay 

Katsumi,  staunch  as  you.

"A 


WAKE!"    The  Father  calls  in  youth, 

In.  early  youth  to  man, 
"Make   use   of  bright 'ning  day,   for  yet 

Life's  but  a  narrow  span." 

"Arise!"    The  summons  strong  we  hear, 

Reluctant   we   arise, 
Responding  to  the  oft  heard  call, 

"Go  where  your  labor  lies." 

"Rest  Thou!"    The  Father's  voice  is  kind, 

When  dusk  falls  all  around, 
"In  sleep  forget  thy  toils  and  cares, 

In  slumber,  sweet,  profound." 

"Come  Home!"   The  thread  of  life  is  snapped, 

The  Eve  of  life  has  come, 
Freed  from  all  the  cares  of  life, 

Our  Father  takes  us  home.

Fifty  years  ago,  in  the  east  part  of  the  city,  stood  a  small,  two-story  frame 
structure.  It  was  the  first  school  building  in  Seymour.  Only  the  oldest  residents 
can  remember  the  time  when  as  happy  children,  they  went  to  school  here. 
Established  when  Seymour  was  quite  young,  it  naturally  had  a  small  enrollment. 

Later  when  Seymour  began  to  increase  in  population  the  old  building  was 
vacated  and  a  larger  one  built  on  the  site  of  the  present  building.  It  was  of 
red  brick,  and  was  set  in  the  midst  of  grounds,  occupying  the  whole  of  a  city 
block.  Immediately  in  front  of  the  building  was  a  large  space  paved  with  brick, 
from  which  led  the  walk  to  the  street.  The  grounds  were  surrounded  by  an  old 
fashioned  board  fence,  within  the  confines  of  which,  filling  all  of  the  space  not 
occupied  by  the  building,  were  immense  trees.  Here,  in  the  delightful  shade  of 
these  beautiful  beeches  the  children  played. 

Later,  as  the  school  outgrew  that  building,  an  addition  was  made  on  the 
south  side.    This  building  most  of  our  present  residents  remember. 

In  1910  it  was  condemned  as  unsafe  and  razed  for  the  erection  of  a  com- 
pletely equipped  modern  brick  building.  The  greater  portion  of  the  trees  sur- 
rounding the  building  was  cut  down,  and  the  rear  part  of  the  lot  converted  into 
a  playground.  The  front  part  of  the  lot  was  made  into  an  attractive  lawn,  one 
of  the  most  beautiful  in  Indiana. 

Until  February  of  1923,  the  High  School  and  grades  were  in  the  same 
building;  but  the  enrollment  in  the  High  School  has  increased  so  steadily  thai 
changes  were  inevitable.  Accordingly,  plans  were  drawn  up  for  a  modern  addi- 
tion, in  which  there  would  be  a  large  auditorium  suitable  for  public  meetings, 
for  basketball,  and  other  gymnastics,  as  well  as  class  rooms  for  the  accommoda- 
tion of  the  grades.  This  building  was  completed  in  1923.  Now  the  High  School 
occupys  the  whole  of  the  older  building,  while  the  grades  arc  housed  in  the  new 
wing. 

From  a  study  of  the  evolution  of  our  present  school  building  a  very  good 
idea  can  be  gained  of  the  marvelous  growth  that  the  schools  of  the  city  of  Sey- 
mour have  enjoyed.  To-day,  the  High  School  is  a  complete  and  thoroughly 
organized  institution,  which  has  a  reputation  for  turning  out  well-educated,  pro- 
gressive students,  the  greater  majority  of  whom  have  made  a  success  in  busi- 
ness, social  and  civic  life,  and  have  revealed  the  value  to  Seymour  of  her  fine 
School  System.

tglj  ^rljnnl  Alumni 


Forty-nine  years  ago  the  first  class  graduated  from  the  Shields  High  School. 
Since  the  foundation  of  the  school  there  have  been  probably  thirty-five  hundred 
pupils  who  have  shared  in  its  work  and  received  a  preparation,  more  or  less 
extended,  for  the  duties  of  life.  When  we  consider  the  work  of  the  Bchool  and 
the  good  it  has  done,  we  must  take  into  consideration  all  who  have  been  enrolled, 
and  not  only  those  who  have  finished  the  entire  course  of  study  offered  by  the 
school. 

The  Alumni  of  the  school  now  numbers  nine  hundred  and  fifty-six.  most 
of  whom  have  filled  and  are  filling  honorable  places  in  life.  A  glance  over  the 
roll  of  graduates  and  into  the  lives  of  the  men  and  women  whose  names  we  find 
there,  will  convince  any  one  that  a  "High  School  education  does  »>if  unfit  //oi/.s- 
and  girls  for  the  practical  duties  of  life."  The  work  of  any  school  or  institution 
of  learning  is  best  evidenced  by  the  lives  of  the  men  and  women  that  il  sends 
forth  into  the  world.

cue  DKeassion  lemae. 

That  "Time  does  make  ancient  good  uncouth"  is  true  of  the  old-time 
elocution;  but  so  great  is  the  delight  of  audiences  in  oral  expression,  that  the 
temporary  disfavor  in  which  it  was  held  is  rapidly  being  done  away  with,  and 
there  has  come  a  revived  interest  in  oral  expression. 

Contests  in  debating,  discussion,  oratory,  and  interpretative  reading  mark 
the  programs  of  many  high  schools  and  colleges;  and  courses  in  public  speak- 
ing, as  a  distinctive  branch  of  the  English  work,  are  being  established  in  increas- 
ing numbers.  The  human  voice,  as  the  expression  of  personality  as  well  as 
thought,  is  still  and  will  always  be  a  vital  force  in  the  affairs  of  men  and  women. 

In  our  own  school  there  has  been  during  the  last  few  years  an  increasing 
amount  of  time  spent  on  oral  expression. 

Again  this  year  we  took  part  in  the  discussion  of  the  question  selected  by 
the  "State  High  School  Discussion  League";  and  Osborne  Fischbach  as  our 
county  winner  represented  us  in  a  most  creditable  way  at  the  District  Contest 
at  North  Vernon. 

The  choice  of  Osborne  as  our  district  representative  was  preceded  by  a 
thorough  study  of  and  many  local  discussions  of  the  question  selected ;  namely, 
"A  solution  for  industrial  disputes  in  public  and  quasi-public  industries." 

The  results  of  this  study  have  been  undoubtedly  beneficial  and  a  prepara- 
tion for  better  work  next  year. 

In  the  realm  of  the  inter-school  debate,  we  are  about  to  make  our  initial 
venture;  and  as  this  book  goes  to  press,  we  are  looking  forward  to  our  joint 
debate  with  Bedford.  The  subject  selected  grew  out  of  the  "High  School  Dis- 
cussion" and  the  debaters  will  argue  the  question,  "Resolved,  That  all  Disputes 
in  Public  and  Quasi-public  Industries  shall  be  settled  by  Compulsory  Arbitra- 
tion." 

The  affirmative  speakers:  Franklin  Swain,  captain,  Florence  Blain  and 
Dorothy  Story  will  debate  at  home  against  the  negative  Bedford  team;  our 
aegative  debaters;  Osborn  Fischbach,  captain,  Norma  Barkman  and  George 
Wilson  will  go  to  Bedford. 

Arrangements  are  being  made  for  a  much  fuller  debating  schedule  for 
next  year. 

Another  outgrowth  of  this  revived  interest  in  oral  expression  is  a  movement 
that  promises  much  of  value  and  enjoyment  for  the  people  of  Seymour.  Under 
the  auspices  of  the  Seymour  Community  Service  there  has  been  organized  the 
'Seymour  ( lommunity  Players,"  a  group  of  people  interested  in  the  recreational 
activities  of  our  city,  who,  realizing  the  unlimited  sources  of  delight  in  the 
drama  are  hoping  to  interest  increasing  numbers  in  its  enjoyment. 

For  'The  drama  embraces  and  applies  all  the  beauties  and  decorations  of 
Poetry.  The  sister  arts  attend  and  adorn  it.  Painting,  architecture,  and  music 
aw  he-  aaudmaids.  The  costliest  lights  of  a  people's  intellect  burn  at  her  shrine. 
All  ages  welcome  her."

The  entire  music  department  took  an  inierei!  in  the  Music  Memory  Contest  as  was 
proven  by  tiie  results.  After  weeks  of  listening  and  other  preparation  the  citj  contest  took 
place.     Prizes   were   given   by   many   people   and   business    houses,    the   prizes    beii 

records,  or  music  lessons. 

In  the  city  contest  there  were  twelve  perfect  papers  in  the  grades  and  eleven  in  the  High 
School.   There  were  many  excellent  papers,  but  onlj   the  perfect  ones  received  prizes.    Then 

were  county,  district  and  state  contests. 

Miss  Alice  Becker,  a  Sophomore,  was  the  only  one  from  Shields  who  wenl  to  the 
state  contest.  There  she  made  a  perfect  paper,  and  only  after  a  prolonged  overtime  examina- 
tion was  she  eliminated. 


Qlprtamnt  ffiatinum 


For  several  years  it  has  been  the  custom  of  many  districts  in  the  state,  to  make  an  animal 
Latin  contest  one  of  the  activities  of  the  school  year.   The  movement  has  been  sponsored  and 
encouraged  by  the  State  Latin  Teachers'  Association.     It  is  felt  that  these  contests  have 
much  to  promote  a  fine  spirit  of  scholarship,  and  to  stimulate  as  loyal  a  sch<  "1  spirit   in  the 
matter  of  scholarly  attainments  as  has  always  been  manifested  in  athletics. 

When  the  news  came  to  us  that  the  Fourth  District  was  to  undertake  a  contest  of  this 
sort  for  the  first  time,  great  interest  and  enthusiasm  was  manifested  amonu  the  Latin  students 
of  our  school.  The  local  Certamen  Latinum  held  on  March  the  18th,  to  determine  the 
representatives  for  the  county  contest,  proved  lively  and  interesting.  About  thirty-five 
students  entered  the  strenuous  preliminaries.  The  following  received  the  highest  local 
honors,  and  represented  S.  H.  S.  at  Brownstown  on  March  the  26th. 

First  Year  Latin — Mildred  Peacock,  Beryl  Dannettelle. 

Caesar — Alice  Cobb,  Gordon  Miller. 

Cicero — Raymond  Feaster,  Mary  Fettig. 

Virgil — Beryl  Shields,  Lydia  Kruge. 

Results  of  the  county  contest  showed  that  honor  medals  were  awarded  to  five  of  our 
contestants. 

Virgil— First  award,  Beryl  Shields ;  second  award,  Lydia  Kruge. 

Cicero — First  award,  Raymond  Feaster;   second  award,  Mary   Fettig. 

Caesar — First  award,  Gordon  Miller. 

These  five  winners  were  sent  to  Columbus  on  April  the  2ht  for  the  District  Meet.  Beryl 
Shields  brought  S.  H.  S.  honor  by  winning  first  place  in  Virgil,  Lydia  Kruge,  second.  Ray- 
mond Feaster  won  second  in  Cicero  and  Gordon  Miller  second  in  Caesar,  both  the  latter 
losing  to  first  place  by  a  difference  of  but  one  per  cent. 

"Seymour  Schola 
Semper  Summa ! 
Honorissima ! 
Seymour  Schola  est  dura ! 
O  hurrah,  O  hurrah,  O  hurrah  !" 

Throughout  the  contests  a  fine  spirit  of  good  sportmanship  has  been  shown  bj  both 
winners  and  losers.  We  hope  that  the  Centamen  may  become  an  annual  event  in  our  school, 
and  that  plans  which  are  being  made  for  a  state-wide  meet,  can  be  carried  out  next  year.

Carl  Fill,  Everett  Otte  and  William  Schluesemeier  won  signal  honors  for 
themselves  and  their  school  when,  as  a  team,  in  the  state  corn  judging  contest 
they  were  aAvarded  first  place  and  a  large  cup  (trophy). 

They  also  won  another  cup  as  champions  in  the  livestock  judging  contest 
on  the  work  with  sheep. 

In  individual  competition  Carl  Fill  won  a  gold  medal  for  the  best  corn  judge 
in  the  state,  and  a  ribbon  for  third  place  in  the  livestock  judging  work  on  Bheep. 
Everett  Otte  won  a  ribbon  for  second  honors  in  the  livestock  judging  work  on 
dairy  cattle. 

William  Schluesemeier  won  the  trip  to  the  International  Livestock  Show  at 
Chicago  as  a  result  of  his  successful  poultry  club  work;  and  also  a  trip  to  the 
Club  "Round  Up"  at  Purdue  by  the  First  National  Bank  of  Seymour  for  his 
corn  club  work.  Everett  Otte  won  second,  a  trip  by  the  same  bank  and  Clyde 
May  stood  third.  Wilfred  Nichter  won  sweepstakes  honors  in  the  annual  egg 
show  held  by  the  agricultural  classes.     Carl  Fill  won  second   honors. 

These  honors  conferred  upon  the  students  of  the  agriculture  classes  are  most 
gratifying  and  are  a  testimony  to  the  high  grade  of  work  done  by  these  students 
under  the  direction  of  their  instructor,  Mr.  H.  C.  Henderson.

Athletic  activities  were  resumed  in  the  fall  with  the  organization  of  the 
Athletic  Association.    The  following  officers  were  elected : 

President Franklin  Swain 

Vice-President Jarvis  Hyatt 

Secretary Elizabeth  James 

Treasurer Arthur  Becker 

The  Athletic  Council  as  chosen  was:  Miss  Kate  Andrews,  chairman; 
Franklin  Swain,  Jarvis  Hyatt,  Elizabeth  James,  Arthur  Becker,  H.  C.  Hender- 
son, and  J.  R.  Mitchell. 

The  students  responded  nobly  to  the  call  for  members.  To  insure  the 
publicity  of  the  athletic  activities  of  the  school  a  publicity  committee  was 
elected.  Gladys  Hopple,  Thelma  Bell,  and  Miss  Eva  Sinclair  were  elected  to 
this  committee,  and  were  responsible  for  much  lively  advertising. 

Coach  Mitchell's  call  for  basketball  candidates  was  answered  by  fifty-two 
enthusiastic  boys.  With  Keach,  Hyatt,  Honan,  Adams,  Misamore,  and  McCord 
left  from  last  year  and  Hooker,  who  moved  here  from  Scottsburg,  a  fast  team 
was  whipped  into  shape  with  the  assistance  of  an  excellent  second  team  to 
practice  against,  The  Lutheran  Club  Gymnasium  was  used  prior  to  the  com- 
pletion of  the  new  High  School  Gymnasium. 

Seymour  was  fortunate  in  being  selected  as  one  of  the  district  basketball 
centers.  The  District  Basketball  Tournament  was  held  in  the  new  gymnasium, 
March  2  and  3,  and  proved  to  be  a  great  success.  In  order  to  use  the  new 
gymnasium  work  was  rushed  to  completion  and  was  finished  the  morning  of 
the  tourney. 


lDcetvoass  Basrar  kill 

The  inter-class  basket  bail  tourney  was  postponed  this  year  until  the  last 
of  the  season  when  the  new  gymnasium  would  be  available.  As  usual,  the 
Seniors  romped  off  with  the  inter-class  championship  title,  snowing  the  Fresh- 
men under  in  a  hard-fought  contest. 

Freshmen   17  —  Juniors   14 

Seniors    64  —  Sophomores    4 

Juniors   31  —  Sophomores    11 

Seniors    38  —  Freshmen   5 

In  an  unofficial  tourney  between  the  second  teams  of  each  class,  the  Junior 
seconds  took  the  title. 

The  Senior  team  was  practically  the  same  as  the  Varsity  with  Misamore, 
forward;  McCord,  forward;  Keach,  center;  Hyatt  center;  and  Honan,  Adams 
and  Hooker,  guards. 

The  best  game  was  between  the  Juniors  and  the  Freshmen,  the  latter 
winning  by  a  narrow  margin. 

The  Seniors  succeeded  in  scoring  102,  as  against  their  opponent's  9. 


1DC6R-CLHSS  NlSt  BALL 

An  inter-class  baseball  tourney  was  held  at  the  beginning  of  the  season  in 
order  to  give  Coach  Henderson  a  line  on  the  available  material  for  a  winning 
team.  The  inter-class  games  were  run  off  the  first  of  April  at  the  Seymour 
Athletic  Park. 

Juniors   3  —  Freshmen   2 

Seniors 7  —  Sophomores    5 

Seniors 5  —  Juniors   3 

The  Seniors  captured  the  inter-class  title  by  defeating  the  Juniors  in  the 
final  game.    The  line-up  follows:

With  the  coming  of  spring,  baseball  resumed  it's  major  position  in  outdoor 
athletics.  With  Baldwin,  McClintick,  Nichalson,  J.  Hyatt,  Eckstein,  Becker, 
A  (I  ;uns,  and  Johnson  as  hold-overs  from  last  year,  indications  pointed  to  a  very 
successful  season.  A  wealth  of  material  was  found  in  Eckstein,  Beem  and 
Young  to  fill  the  mound  position,  left  vacant  by  the  ineligibility  of  Wilson,  star 
south-paw  of  the  last  two  years.  Baldwin  was  elected  to  serve  his  third  succes- 
sive year  as  captain. 

The  season  was  opened  with  a  victory  over  the  Brownstown  Bear  Cats  in  a 
game  played  at  Brownstown.    The  score  was  6  to  0. 

The  Athletic  Association  purchased  new  uniforms  for  the  team  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  season.

Tennis  was  made  a  part  of  the  fall  athletic  program  for  the  second  time. 
A  series  of  inter-class  matches  were  arranged  between  the  Freshmen,  Sopho- 
mores, Juniors  and  Seniors. 

The  Lutheran  club  court  was  used  throughout  the  tourney.  Walter  Hyatt 
and  Charles  Keach  won  for  the  Seniors  the  championship  in  doubles  by  riprht 
of  their  victory  over  the  Junior  representatives. 

There  were  no  matches  arranged  with  other  schools  this  year,  but  it  is  hoped 
by  the  student  body  that  tennis  will  be  featured  among  fall  athletics,  and  a 
series  of  matches  with  other  schools  may  be  arranged  to  further  that.  end.

Coach  Mitchell 's  call  for  track  candidates  was  promptly  answered  by  many 
boys.  Early  spring  training  was  afforded  by  practice  in  the  new  gymnasium, 
until  the  weather  was  favorable  for  outdoor  work.  The  team  worked  and  elimi- 
nations were  made  early  so  that  the  best  of  attention  and  instruction  could  be 
given  by  Coach  Mitchell. 

H.  Ahlbrand  was  the  only  hold-over  from  last  year's  team  who  participated 
in  track  work  this  spring,  but  around  him  was  built  a  team  that  gave  assurance 
that  Seymour  had  resumed  her  former  place  in  track  work  although  this  was 
but  the  second  year  with  the  track  and  field  listed  among  the  spring  activities. 

April  19  a  dual  track  meet  was  held  at  the  Athletic  Park  between  Crothers- 
ville  and  Seymour,  the  latter  winning  by  the  score  of  67  to  39. 

Seymour  showed  great  strength  in  track  events,  taking  first  place  in  all 
the  runs,  and  did  well  in  the  field  events. 

Other  dual  track  meets  have  been  arranged  with  Columbus,  Salem,  and 
Crothersville,  also  a  Sectional  Meet  at  Columbus,  May  12. 

Track  shoes  and  suits  were  purchased  by  the  Athletic  Association  and  dis- 
tributed to  the  members  of  the  team. 


Mr.  Ackerman— "Why  are  women  like  salad?" 
Bill— "Because  they  need  a  good  deal  of  dressing." 


Elizabeth — "Oh,  my  lips  are  so  sore  this  morning." 
Katherine— "I  think  it  is  from  the  sun." 
James — "Whose  son?" 

Mr.  Mitchell— "I'm  not  much  of  a  speaker,  boys,  but  I  have  several  little  things  in  my 
head  that  I  am  trying  to  get  rid  of." 

j    h. — "Ever  try  a  fine-toothed  comb?" 


Mr.  Phillips— "What  is  a  vacuum?" 

Paul  L— "Things  you  push  around  to  clean  rugs  with." 


Miss  McHenry — "Faces  this  way." 

Clarence  Otis — "I  can't  make  mine  that  way.' 


Francis — "Say,  my  feet  are  getting  tired." 

Owen — "Oh,  that's  all   right,  think  of  the  ride  your  stomach's  getting." 


Eyes   are   to   sparkle, 

Cheeks  are  to  blush, 
Arms  to  encircle  you 

Oh,  my !  hush, 
Kiss  is  a  noun 

Both  common  and  proper, 
When  you  kiss  her 

Make  it  a  whopper.

FLIVVERS 

Yea,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  the  Ford  belongs  to  that  class  of  vehicles  which  doth  Dot 
fly;  nor  doth  it  creep,  but  like  the  unceasing  thunder,  dotli  rumble  on  and  on  forever 
thou  ask  where  with  I  am  supplied  with  the  necessary  knowledge  and  right   to  broa 
same?    Yea,  brother,  I  say  unto  thee  I  own  one. 

It's  steering  wheel  toucheth  my  heart  or  doth  prod  gently  in  the  vicinity  thereof.  The 
accessory  dealer  doth  touch  my  pocketbook  with  his  line  of  chatter  and  flim-flam  accessories. 

Cold  weather  doth  give  a  remarkable  degree  of  stubborness  to  the  worthy  self-starter 
(in  name  only)  and  when  its  battery  doth  run  down  from  any  of  several  causes,  its  starting 
crank  doth  provide  a  gentle  and  delightful  exercise  until  it  doth  kick  back  mightily,  which 
causeth  its  owner  to  register  deep  chagrin  and  murmur,  "Darn  it!"  with  all  the  gentle 
timidity  of  a  man  shouting  "Fire !" 

When  finally  the  sleeping  engine  doth  begin  its  day  again,  a  safe-cracking  job  i 
be  heard  in  a  radius  of  three  blocks. 

At  night  it  travelleth  by  the  light  of  the  moon  only,  for  its  head-light  doth  flicker  and 
vanish  as  doth  the  mouse  on  seeing  the  kitty  or  as  doth  the  pocketbook  on  the  approach  of 
friend  wife. 

Ft  doth  rattle  and  knock,  like  unto  a  harvester;  it  doth  moan  and  howl  like  unto  a 
gafilta  fish,  which  doth  continually  grow  worse  until  it  wheezeth  its  last  cough. 

Trouble,  like  a  Seven  Headed  Chinese  Devil,  never  sleepeth,  but  doth  forever  percolate 
around  His  Lordship,  the  Ford  owner. 

Yea,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  tires  are  an  evil  influence  to  mankind,  for  they  do  assume 
the  appearance  of  a  good  tire  in  the  garage,  but  do  cast  off  this  deceptive  raiment  with  a 
bang  when  thou  art  miles  from  home. 

However,  brethern,  as  the  prophets  hath  said,  even  a  snake  hath  good  points,  even 
tho  it  be  to  eat  other  snakes.  So  I  Liken  unto  this,  the  Ford,  for  when  it  is  tuck  in  sand 
or  mud,  the  owner  need  but  get  out  and  lift  the  back  end  over  on  high  ground  and  pro- 
ceed forth. 

The  Ford  hath  all  the  speed  of  a  slumbering  turtle.  Allow  me,  my  brethern,  to  quote 
from  my  friend  Bill  Shakespeare : 

"The  Ford,  it  is  a  wonder, 

You  give  it  gas,  and  say, 
You  pass  by  all  the  other  cars 
(That  go  the  other  way.)" 

Henry  Ford  hath  said,  "Buy  a  Ford  and  spend  the  difference."  Brethren,  I  ask  you, 
spend  it  on  what?    Repairs? 

Still,  my  brethren,  the  car  doth  seem  to  be  vastly  popular.  People  ordereth  far  in 
advance  and  accepeth  their  delivery  with  all  the  languid  indifference  of  a  starving  tiger 
that  pouncth  upon  it's  first  meal  in  a  fortnight. 

So,  therefore,  brethern,  harken  ye  unto  my  words,  all  that  is  gold  need  not  necessarfl) 
glitter,  and  though  a  man  may  wear  out  many  Fords,  like  a  tenacious  cat,  he  always  cometh 
back  and  buyeth  another. 


KEEP  OFF  THE  GRASS 

The  ground  was  soft  So  now  take  heed 
The  grass  was  wet  And  do  not  set 

We   got  a  chill  On  ground  that's   soft 
As  there  we  set.  Or  grass  that's  wet. 


Miss  Small    (assigning  lesson)— "We  will  begin  with  lightning  and  go  to  thunder." 


'24    (inspecting  the  basketball   schedule)— "Where  is  that  place,   Alumni?" 


Mr.  Glaze— "There's  not  a  boy  in  this  class  who  will  say  that  Commercial  Arithmetic 
is  hard." 

'23 — "It's  just  because  we're  afraid  to."

Miss  Barbour  wants  masculine  attention.     Now  which  shall  we  give?

ODE  TO  AN  ERASER 

[  know  not  from  whence  thou  came, 

t  only  know  that  thou  art  here, 

For  it   was  I   who  intercepted 

Thy  tragic  arc 

With  my  ear 

And  filled   my  ear  with 

Chalk  dust. 

So  be  it  unto  the  end  of  time 

The   innocent   bystander  gets   shot, 

The    onlooker   must  pay. 

But  if  that  is  so 

Why  did  I  get  hit? 

As  I  said  before,  I  know  not  who 

Wafted   thee  hither. 

Some  base  Knave, 

Perhaps  it  was  the  goof 

I   threw  thee  at 

In    the    first    place. 


Extract  from  a  Freshman  story— "And  many  saw  the  invisible  horde  approacl. 


Teacher   (to  boy  with  his  feet  in  the  aisle  and  chewing  gum)— "Here  boy,  take   that 
gum  out  of  your  mouth  and  put  your  feet  in."

A  fly  was  sitting  on  Mr.  Ackerman's  head.     He  slid  off.     His  neck  was  broken. 


Miss  Barbour— "Sit  up  in  your  seat,  James.     Do  you  need  some  exercise?' 
James  (drowsily)— "Naw,  I  need  some  sleep." 


Miss  McHenry— "Give  the  principal  parts  of  the  verb  begin." 
Alfred  B—  "Begin,  began,  begone,  git  out." 


A  PICTURE 


One  day  as  I  was  sleeping 

A  picture  came  to  me, 
It  was  the  funniest  picture 

That  ever  you  did  see. 
Miss  Hanna  came  in  dancing, 

And  playing  a  cornet, 
Mr.  Due  came  in  smoking 

A  great  long  pipe  of  jet, 
Then  came  Miss  Myers  a-whistling 

A  tune,  "I'm  Loved  No  More," 
While  Miss  Andrews  washed  the  windows, 

And  Glaze,  he  swept  the  floor; 
Mr.   Phillips  taught  us  cooking 

Miss  McHenry  how  to  draw ; 
Mr.  Mitchell  he  played  hookey, 

But  in  each  we  found  a  flaw. 


Dick  Hyatt  (after  solo) — I  believe  my  voice  is  cracked." 

J.  Honan — "Your  voice  is  cracked  all  right,  but  your  head  will  be  worse  than  that  if 
you  don't  retire  into  utter  seclusion." 


FEEDING  THE  ANIMALS 

The  Seniors  live  on  choicest  fruits, 
The  Sophs  on  pork  and  beans, 

The  Junior  class  on  lengthy  words, 
But  the  Freshmen  class  on  greens. 

It's  Seniors  delight  to  bark  and  bite, 
And    the   Junior   bunch   to   sing ; 

But  all  the  Freshies  can  find  to  do 
Is    stare   at   every   thing. 


Miss  Barbour — "Frank,  what  sensation  do  you  suffer  when  the  "Minuet  in  G"  is  being 
played  ?" 

Frank  Swain — "I   feel  like  I'm  in  the  'teenth  Baboon's  heaven." 


Miss  Myers  (in  Latin  class) — "What  does  the  word  equinox  mean?" 
Gertrude  C — "A  night  horse." 


L.  A.  A. — "Gordon,  if  I  gave  you  five  dollars  and  you  already  had  three  what  would 
have  ?" 


you  have 

Gordon — "Hysterics."

AS  THE  DAYS  GO  BY 

Specimus  Wells  was  an  expert  on  soil, 

Who  spent  flocks  of  money  prospecting  for  oil. 

While  farmer  Joe  Bush  was  a  terrible  hick, 

Who  sat  on  a  fence-rail  and  whittled  a  stick. 

But  Wells  proved  to  be  an  unfortunate  bloke, 

No  oil  did  he  find.     That's  the  reason  he's  broke. 

But  by  chance  a  great  gusher  was  found  on  Joe's  place, 

The  rest  you  can  tell  by  the  smile  on  his  face. 


Mr.  Henderson  (in  botany) — "How  do  bacteria  reproduce?" 
Earl  McCann — "By  the  thousands." 


Teacher — "How  did  you  measure  this  water?" 
Carl  Fill — "With  a  granulated  cylinder." 


Harry  Baldwin  (in  botany)— "Little  swellings  on  the  roots  of  clover  called  noodles." 


Miss   Vehslage — "Why  did    these   men   go  to   Cuba,    William?" 

Wm.  Nieman — "Oh,  they  went  to  make  a  revolution,  but  the  natives  wouldn't  revolute." 


Bill — "Who  takes  charge  when  the  President  dies?" 
Will — "The  undertaker." 


THE  VILLAGE  BLACKSMITH 


Under  the  shade  of  building  tall 
The  modern  mechanic  stands, 

The  sweat  he  wipes  with  a  kerchief  all 
Of  yellow  silk  and  tan; 

The  muscles  of  his  arms  so  small 
Are  white  as  ivory  bands. 

His  hair  is  light  and  neatly  cut, 

His   face  is  very  fair; 
His  brow  was  never  touched  by  soot, 

His   i>ri'  I-    i>-    very   rare. 
He  raises  autos  from  the  rut 

And  charges  with  a  care. 

Week  in  week  out,  from  nine  to  six 
You   can   hire  him   if  you   pay. 

You  will  not  hear  him  strike  the  licks 
With   a   sledge — the   smithy's   lay. 

If  he  must  work  nine  hours  he  kicks 
For  eight  hours  is   his  day. 


And  boys  returning  home  from  school 
Step  in   at  the  open  door, 

They  like  to  watch  him  with  a  tool 
And  hear  the  autos  roar. 

He  starts  the  engines  like  a  fool 

And  makes  them  snort  and  snore. 

He  goes  on  Sunday  to  the  church 
And  sits  among  the  girls, 

He  only  sees  the  preacher's  shirt 
And  pulls  his  daughter's  curls. 

He  often  gets  so  drunk  he'll  lurch 

And  break  his  sweetheart's  pearls. 

Thus  onward  through  this  life  he  goes 
He   does    whoe'er   he   can. 

This  tale  a  moral  has  he  knows 
It  makes   him   a  proud  man, 

For  it   is   this :    "Your  auto  woes 
Take   to  the  garage  man." 


Miss  Andrews — "Use  your  heads,  boys,  don't  throw  balls  near  the  building." 


A  course  of  elective  music  was  offered. 

8A  Boy — "Miss  Barbour,  may  I  take  electric  music?" 


Mr.  Glaze— "I   don't  want  anyone  to  leave  his   seat  without  coming  to  the  desk  and 
getting  permission." 


A  PARABLE  OF  SAFED  THE  SAGE. 

C.  M.  Fischbai  a,  *2S 
Lo,  and  it  came  to  pass  in  the  days  of  high  gas  an(j  electric  bills,  that   Keturah,  my 
wife,  approached  unto  me,  and  spake  thus,  saying,  "Sirrah,  Christmas  draweth  nigh,  and  I 
must,  in  accordance  with  custom,  hie  me  to  the  town  to  purchase  presents."    And  she  strove 
therewith  to  make  a  touch. 

I  spake,  raising  a  feehle  voice  in  protest,  but  she  put  her  arms  about  me  and  cooed  soft 
words  into  my  ears;  whereupon  my  heart  and  likewise  my  head  grew  soft,  and  I  gave  unto 
her  silver  shekels,  many  and  bright,  which  I,  of  a  truth,  had  determined  to  3d  aside  for  a 
new  suit,  my  present  one  being  already  thread-bare  and  worn. 

So  she  went.  For  many  hours  she  tarried,  while  I,  perforce,  must  get  my  own  meall 
At  eve  she  returneth  again  and  showeth  me  many  purchases,  both  wise  and  foolish.  And 
she  took  out  of  a  gorgeous  box  a  hat,  which  of  a  truth,  would  have  made  a  devout  man  of 
the  synagogue  look  twice.     Then  spake  she  and  said,  "I  shall  give  this  unto  your  aunt" 

And  I,  being  very  much  amazed,  for  my  aunt  is  a  most  staid  and  sober  woman  re- 
proached her  saying,  "Never  think  that  my  aunt  would  ever  wear  such  a  head-gear.  For 
her  years  are  the  number  sixty,  and  a  hat  for  her  should  be  of  sober  black." 

And  she,  being  amused,  answered  me  saying,  "Lo,  if  she  can  wear  it  not,  then  per- 
chance she  may  give  it  to  me,  for  it  suits  me  well."  Which  of  a  truth  it  did,  but  wherefore 
is  there  any  use  to  try  to  reason  with  a  woman  anyway. 

And  next  she  drew  forth  a  necktie  both  loud  and  of  many  colors,  and  entirely  ununited 
to  a  guardian  of  the  flock.  The  seven  colors  of  the  rainbow  and  many  more  besides  . 
contained  therein,  and  it  spake  with  a  loud  voice.  And  she  draped  it  about  my  neck  and 
stood  off  a  little  ways  to  get  the  effect.  And  she  clapped  her  hands  in  glee,  saying.  "Lo,  my 
Lord,  you  look  as  young  as  when  you  first  paid  court  to  me,"  and  she  kissed  me.  And  I, 
being  flattered  exceedingly  put  aside  my  misgivings  as  regarding  the  wearing  of  the  tie  ami 
returned  the  courtesy.  And  I  said  to  myself,  "A  wife  is  a  pleasant  if  at  times  grasping 
necessity  whom  it  is  impossible  to  repress  with  sternness  since  she  in  all  cases  holds  an 
insurmountable  and  unconquerable  power  over  her  man."  And  I,  composing  my  dignity 
thereupon  became  once  more  a  zealous  guardian  of  the  flock. 


If  there  were  a  boy  in  High   School 

Of  fair  Toots  Hyatt's   size, 
Who  had  Charleg  Reach's  line  of  talk, 

And   Johnny   Hauenschild's   eyes, 
If  he  dressed  like  Landis  Cooper, 

And  had  Frank  Swain's  nerve  to  try, 
Should  he  borrow  Hal  Ahlbrand's  auto 

Do  you  think  that  he'd  get  by? 


Bess  McGannon — "I  have  a  cold  in  my  head." 

The  Teachers — "No  wonder,  a  cold  alwavs  settles  in  the  weakest  spot  " 


Miss  Barbour — "I  wish  those  cars  would  quit  passing  here  with  their  mufflers  open.    They 
make  so  much  noise." 


Miss   Vehslage — "Maurice,   have   you   brought   that   picture   of   a    steamboat    on    White 
River  yet?" 

Maurice  Haper — "No,  mam,  I  haven't  taken  it  yet." 


Mr.  Due — "Lloyd,  who  is  Mr.  Green?" 

Lloyd  Bulger— "Why,  I  think  he's  the  man   who  makes  sausages  in  Cinn." 


Miss  McHenry  (telling  the  pupils  to  pick  up  the  paper  on  the  floor)— "Sam,  be  sure 
and   pick  up  your  part  of  the  floor." 


M.  J.   (looking  out  the  window)— "I  wonder  why  the  trees  are  so  late  leaving: 


Miss  Small — "Albert,  locate  Europe  and  Asia." 

Albert  Judd— "Well,  Europe  is  west  of  Asia  and  Asia  is  east  of  Europe." 


Mr.   Mitchell— "Kerval,    tell    these   boys   another   laying   out   tool. 
Kerval  Goodwin — "A  billy-club." 


Miss  Geile — "Did  any  one  help  you  with  this  map,   Sam?" 
Sam — "No,  my  brother  did  it  by  himself." 


Lois  Hall — "Do  you  know   Lincoln's   Gettysburg  address"? 
Swain — "No,  did  he  live  there?" 


Miss  Small — "Earl  can  you  tell  us  what  hemp  is  used   for?" 
Earl  T — "For  cigars  and  things." 


JUST   LIKE  THE  REST   OF  US 

Little  Tommy  had  a  lesson 
Which   he   couldn't  get, 

And  as   far  as  I  can  see, 
He  hasn't  got  it  yet. 


Teacher — "Why  are  you  late,  Johnny?" 
Johnny — "I  started  late." 
Teacher — "Why  didn't  you  start  early?" 
Johnny — "It  was  too  late  to  start  early.' 


Miss  Myers  (explaining  the  Latin  Slides) — "These  are  the  horses  of  the  infantry." 


Glen  U. — "What  made  that  bump  on  your  head?" 
Ray  B. — "That's  where  a  thought  struck  me."
