MRS.  CLARA  RILEY  DODD 


Sunset  and  evening  star. 

And  one  clear  call  for  me ! 
And  may  there  be  no  moaning  of  the  bar. 

When  I  put  out  to  sea. 


Twilight  and  evening  bell. 

And  after  that  the  dark ! 
And  may  there  be  no  sadness  of  farewell, 

When  I  embark  ; 


But  such  a  tide  as  moving  seems  asleep. 

Too  full  for  sound  and  foam. 
When  that  which  drew  from  out  the  boundless  deep. 

Turns  again  home. 


For  tho"  from  out  our  bourne  of  Time  and  Place 

The  flood  may  bear  me  far. 
I  hope  to  see  my  Pilot  face  to  face 
When  I  have  crossed  the  bar.

Lie  hushed  in  the  repose  of  years. 

Then  shall  they,  yielding  to  the  common  lot. 

Lie  unrecorded  and  forgot?

DEBATING  RECORD 


The  debating  record  of  the  Boys'  Oratorical  Association  for  '09  is  one  to  be  proud  of.  For  the  first  time  in  its 
history  tlie  Association  crossed  swords  with  out-of-town  talent.  The  boys  of  Carthage  High  School  were  challenged 
and  a  debate  was  scheduled  for  April  9.  The  question  discussed  Avas:  "Resolved,  That  every  net  income  of  over  $5,000 
should  1)e  subject  to  a  tax  by  the  Federal  Government."  Carthage  chose  the  affirmative  and  sent  as  their  champions 
James  Rider  and  Allan  Stemmons.  The  Springfield  team  was  Lee  Moore  and  Harold  Porter.  The  school  turned  out 
in  a  body  and  by  loyal  support  helped  the  local  team  to  gain  the  decision.    The  victory  undoubtedly  gave  the  0.  A. 

claim  to  the  high  school  debating  championship  of  Southwest  Missouri. 

This  present  year  chronicles  also  the  first  defeat  ever  sustained  by  the  organization. 
Esther  Moore  and  Ethel  Potter,  representatives  of  the  Girls' Literary  Society,  which  was  en- 
couraged to  extra  effort  by  the  defeat  last  year  in  the  first  inter-society  debate,  took  this 
year's  contest  from  Earl  Turner  and  Leonard  Campbell  by  a  two-to-one  decision.  Although 
defeated,  the  boys  upheld  the  high  standard  set  by  preceding  debates.  While  the  success 
of  the  girls  is  lamented  as  breaking  the  otherwise  perfect  record  of  the  association,  there  is 
consolation  in  the  fact  that  it  is  "only  a  family  affair,  anyway,"  and  that  it  Avill  make  0. 
A.'s  victory  next  year  more  appreciated. 

In  brief,  the  record  of  the  Oratorical  Association  consists  of  five  debates — two  with 
Drury  Academy,  two  with  the  Girls'  Literary  Society,  one  with  Carthage — and  four  of  the 
five  won  l)y  O.  A.  It  is  certain  that  tlie  future  record  Avill  be  as  praiseworthj-  as  the  past 
and  that  the  school  will  continue  to  show  its  appreciation  of  this  organization.

Athletics  started  with  a  rush  this  year,  for  everyone  seemed 
enthiised  over  the  promising  prospects  for  all  branches  oi' 
school  sports.  Many  new  recruits  promised  to  aid  the  older 
experienced  men  to  gain  many  victories  and  to  keep  up  the 
record  made  in  previous  years.  A  large  number  of  students 
and  teachers  were  annexed  to  the  membership  of  the  Ath- 
letic Association,  and  it  seemed  that  the  student  body  Avas 
pulling  and  the  faculty  pushing. 

As  usual,  the  football  boys  were  called  upon  first  to  furnish 
amusement  for  the  gridiron  enthusiasts,  and  many  promising 
recruits  responded,  who,  it  was  thought,  would  work  down 
into  good  material. 

Arthur  IMyers  held  the  captaincy  of  both  the  basketball 
team  and  the  football  team,  and,  since  it  was  necessary  for 
him  to  icsigu  oiic  or  the  other  of  these,  he  decided  to  give 
up  his  well-earned  position  as  football  captain.  Sherman 
Rogers,  elected  to  fill  the  place,  soon  gained  the  confidence 
of  the  rooters  as  a  systematic  football  captain.  It  was  lucky 
that  this  change  was  made,  for  jMyers  soon  received  ;in  in- 
ji'i-y  which  foiccd  him  fi'om  the  game  for  tiie  remaindei'  of 
the  seasiin.  In  ;i  shoi-1  lime  the  new  captain,  with  the  nec- 
essar\-  licl|)  of  .Mr.  Marl  in.  had  developed  the  new  matci'iai 
into  a  heavy,  yet  I'asl.  team,  which  seenu'd  fated  to  coiitend 
more  with  hard  IncU'  than  with  otliei'  school  teams. 

(iames  seemed  iiard  to  match  with  out-of-town  teams. 
tlu)i^gh  many  pi'actice  games  and  class  games  were  i)layed,

Avhich  kept  the  team  in  good  form.  At  length  a  game  was 
procured  with  Webb  City  High  School,  to  be  played  at  Webb 
City  October  10th.  All  of  the  players  expected  to  win  this 
contest  by  playing  hard ;  the  student  body  and  faculty  also 
had  hopes  of  victor^^  However,  the  favorite  full-back  did 
Jiot  get  to  go  on  the  trip,  and  when  Hart,  the  heaviest  man 
on  the  team,  received  a  broken  collar-bone,  which  necessarily 
put  him  out  of  the  game,  the  team  was  not  only  very  much 
weakened  but  greatly  discouraged,  and  lost  the  game  by  the 
score  of  10-0.  The  boys  returned,  feeling  that  though  they 
had  been  beaten  there  they  might  win  on  the  home  grounds 
after  having  more  practice  and  making  changes  in  the  line-up. 

Other  games  were  played,  including  practice  games  with 
Drury  and  a  match  game  with  Drury  Second,  M  hich  was  for- 
feited to  Drury  on  account  of  a  deficiency  in  tlu'  umnber  of 
High  School  players  present.  The  Alumni  were  also  played, 
and,  though  this  game  Avas  lost,  it  proved  that  much  good 
football  nmterial  has  been  developed  in  High  School. 

The  next  game  of  importance  was  that  played  against 
Webb  City  on  the  home  field.  This  contest  was  annexed  to 
our  "won"  column  by  the  score  of  10-6.  It  was  the  last  reg- 
ular game  played,  owing  to  minor  difficulties  in  connection 
with  members  of  the  team,  yet  this  game  Avas  proof  of  the 
ability  of  individual  players  as  well  as  the  team  as  a  Avhole. 

By  the  end  of  the  season  the  players  had  developed  certain 
characteristics  which  will  be  given  here  for  the  benefit  of 


those  who  did  not  see  them  play.  Tisdale  at  full-back  had 
the  confidence  of  everyone  as  a  player  and  always  held  his 
nerve,  and  Leckie,  who  replaced  Tisdale  during  the  latter 
part  of  the  season,  also  proved  to  have  these  same  qualities, 
except  that  he  was  faster,  but  not  quite  heavy  enough  to 
hit  the  line.  Campbell  was  noted  for  knowing  the  game  and 
being  able  to  "boot"  the  leather;  while  Rogers  proved  him- 
self a  star  at  all-round  play.  Lillie,  at  quarter,  received  the 
well-passed  balls  of  "Big"  Nelson  at  center  with  much  ease 
and  assurance.  Nelson  was  a  good  center  and  was  well 
guarded  by  Moore  and  Hawkins,  who  were  heavy  and  sea- 
soned, with  nerve  and  "ginger."  Bradley  certainly  filled 
Hart's  place  at  tackle — if  anything,  having  him  bested,  be- 
cause he  was  almost  as  heavy  and  not  so  tall,  which  enabled 
him  to  get  under  his  opponent.  Schweider  seldom  failed  to 
stop  his  opponent 's  plays  through  his  side  of  the  line  and  to 
get  his  man  out  of  the  way  when  necessary.  At  the  ends, 
Bush  and  Lyle  were  fast  and  always  willing  to  try  for  a  man, 
though  they  sometimes  missed  their  tackles.  Kelso  and  Cof- 
felt  were  good  substitutes,  since  Kelso  could  be  placed  in  the 
line  and  Coff'elt  at  end  or  half-back.  No  one  has  been  chosen 
to  captain  the  team  next  year,  as  it  is  thought  better  for  the 
members  of  the  next  team  to  choose  their  own  captain. 

Another  game,  which  has  for  the  last  few  years  attracted 
much  attention  in  High  School,  is  girls'  basketball.  Last 
year  the  team  was  one  of  the  best,  if  not  the  best,  in  the  state  : 
and  though  most  of  that  material  graduated,  the  team  of  this 
year  was  equally  as  good,  since  it  won  all  of  the  games  that 
were  played.  Their  success  was  largely  due  to  the  regular 
practice  which  they  began  early  in  the  season  under  the  sup- 
ervision of  their  coach,  ]Miss  Kearney.  The  fact  that  they  did 
not  play  many  games  does  not  mean  that  they  were  not  cap- 
able of  playing  good  ball,  for  each  and  every  member  of  the 
team  proved  her  ability  to  play  a  fast  game  in  the  few  con- 
tests that  were  witnessed  by  the  student  body. 

No  young  ladies'  team  of  the  city  could  make  it  interesting 
for  the  High  School  six,  and  an  attempt  was  made  to  schedule 
games  with  schools  of  other  towns.  A  game  with  Carthage 
High  School  played  here  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  gymnasium  was 


won  by  the  score  of  31-7  in  our  favor.  This  proved  that  out- 
of-town  teams  as  well  as  city  teams  could  not  compete  with 
such  players.  More  games  should  have  been  procured,  but 
there  was  a  deficiency  in  the  treasury.  This  team  was  one 
that  would  do  justice  to  any  school  or  association. 

]\Iary  Chambers,  the  captain,  played  hard  and  worked  well 
with  Marie  Gates.  They  both  had  a  good  eye  for  baskets, 
and  many  were  the  one-handed  throws  that  they  made  which 
resulted  in  field  goals.  Eleanor  Boehmer  and  Peach  Rogers 
played  a  hard  game  at  center,  for  after  successfully  knocking 
the  ball  toward  High's  goal  they  used  the  best  head  work 
and  basketball  tactics  to  keep  it  at  that  end  of  the  field.  As 
guards,  Edith  Moore  and  Julia  Pierce  were  superior  to  any 
other  guards  of  the  teams  contested  with,  this  fact  being 
proven  by  the  low  scores  made  by  the  opponents.  Although 
Fern  Bearden  played  on  the  team  last  year,  she  did  not  take 
time  to  play  regularly  with  this  year's  team,  but  acted  as 
substitute,  and  certainly  made  a  good  one,  for  she  was  an 
experienced  hand  at  the  game  and  could  fill  any  position  on 
the  team  when  it  became  necessary. 

The  boys'  basketball  season  opened  with  games  against 
Alumni,  Carthage,  Webb  City  and  Jasper,  all  of  which  were 
lost.  The  team  started  into  the  City  League,  which  was  com- 
posed of  the  Normal,  Drury,  Acorn  Club  and  High  School, 
Avith  rather  a  poor  standing,  but  hoped  to  improve  with 
practice.  Difficulty  to  get  that  practice,  as  well  as  other  bar- 
riers, stood  in  the  way  of  a  strong  team.  ]Much  of  the  new 
material  was  very  light,  and  the  experienced  players  did  not 
keep  in  as  good  training  as  they  should  have  to  make  a 
showing. 

With  the  responsibility  of  captain  resting  upon  him,  ]\Iyers 
did  not  play  as  good  a  game  at  center  as  he  did  last  year, 
though  his  playing  was  first  class,  and  he  was  thought  to  be 
the  best  center  in  the  league.  Tisdale,  as  one  of  the  guards, 
played  a  hard  game  and  held  his  place  on  the  team  during 
the  entire  season.  This  was  also  true  of  Kuchinski,  who 
played  a  fast  game  as  the  other  guard.  The  forwards  were 
a  little  doubtful  throughout  the  season ,-  Elkins  and  Rogers, 
being  perhaps  the  best  material,  played  at  these  positions. 


Campbell  played  as  first  substitute,  though  some  of  the  sec- 
ond team  members  were  played  occasionally  in  regular 
games.  Nelson  and  Gibson  both  did  well  when  in  the  game 
and  pi'omise  to  make  good  material  for  next  year's  team. 

Many  new  men  were  out  early  to  try  for  the  baseball  team, 
but.  owing  to  some  new  rules  made  by  the  faculty,  several 
of  tbe  boys  were  forced  to  quit  playing.  However,  some  good 
material  was  chosen  to  represent  the  school  and  was  siiccess- 
ful  at  first,  defeating  the  Woodland  Heights  nine,  which  is 
considered  to  be  the  best  amateur  team  in  the  city. 

The  members  of  the  team,  as  they  appeared  on  the  field 
for  practice  at  the  time  the  Resume  went  to  press,  may  be 
characterized  in  the  following  lines:  Thrall,  as  catcher, 
was  a  good  judge  of  what  kind  of  a  ball  a  batter  liked  and 
the  reverse,  also  losing  good  judgment  when  men  were  on 
bases.  Though  he  did  not  hit  very  well,  he  promised  to  im- 
])r()ve  by  the  close  of  the  season.  R.  Hart  pitched  most  of 
the  games,  and  the  fact  that  he  worked  with  his  catcher 
was  tiu^  explanation  of  his  success.  He  hit  very  Aveli 
for  a  pitclier.  At  shortstop,  Leckie  had  a  good  eye  for  a 
bounce  and  a  neat  "peg"  to  first.  He  hit  well  and  could 
pitch  good  lijill  Aviicn  he  was  needed  in  the  box.  Clauser 
played  a  goo(l  game  at  first,  seldom  "muffing"  the  ball,  and 


hitting  at  a  good  pace;  while  "Cy"  Dooms  was  noted  for  his 
hitting  and  fast  fielding.  Thircl  base  was  guarded  by  one 
of  the  best  amateurs  in  the  city,  Gordon  Higgs.  the  captain, 
who  deserved  to  fill  that  position  from  the  way  he  hit  and 
fielded.  All  of  the  players  took  pride  in  "Captain"  Higgs' 
neat  ball  playing.  H.  Hart  had  the  reputation  of  a  pinch 
hitter,  and  when  in  the  out-field  he  got  everything  that  came 
his  way.  Foley  and  Lillie  played  in  the  remaining  out-field 
positions  and  usually  got  the  ball  when  it  came  within  their 
reach,  both  hitting  a  good  per  cent.  Turner  and  Jones  were 
the  substitutes. 

Baseball  was  the  only  spring  sport  indulged  in.  because 
there  was  no  tennis  court  or  track  on  which  to  keep  teams  in 
training  if  such  had  been  organized.  Thus  baseball  held  the 
interest  of  everyone. 

Mr.  Martin  and  Miss  Kearney  deserve  much  credit  for  the 
work  which  they  did  with  the  different  teams. 


HICHEH  EaUCATIDN 


MISERYS 

HUB  BOWERS,  leaning  disconsolately  against  the 
steps  of  the  boys'  dormitory,  abandoned  himself  to 
misery.  Round  of  face,  short  of  stature  and  indo- 
lent in  manner,  he  scarcely  fulfilled  one's  ideal  of  a 
person  doomed  to  assume  the  role  of  a  heavy  traged- 
ian in  life's  drama,  but  at  this  particular  time  he  looked  any- 
thing but  his  usual  jolly  self. 

His  woes  were  two,  and  from  Chub's  personal  pomt  oi  view 
only  a  Shylock  could  hear  of  them  unmoved.    In  the  first 


COMPANY 

place,  he  had  always  kept  an  eye  of  longing  on  the  leading 
part  in  the  class  play,  and  tonight  would  witness  its  pre- 
sentation with  another — a  usurper.  Chub  considered  him — 
assuming  the  title  role.  He  hoped  that  the  whole  thing 
would  be  a  failure,  and  probably  he  would  get  his  wish,  for 
whoever  said  Ted  Burnes  could  act  ? 

But  that  was  not  the  greatest  of  his  woes.  There  was  an- 
other, and  at  thought  of  it  Chub's  round  face  looked  more 
woeful  than  ever,  if  such  were  possible.  From  Dorothy,  who 
had  sweetly  consented  to  Avitness  the  play  in  his  company, 
he  had  .just  yesterday  received  a  note  in  which  she  explained 
that  she  had  been  mistaken — so  much  to  think  of — how  could 
she  remember  that  three  months  ago  she  had  promised  Hal 
(his  own  roommate)  the  engagement  ?  With  a  feeling  of 
helpless  irritation  he  wondered  why  girls  wouldn't  play  fair 
about  such  things.  Why  couldn't  she  own  that  Hal  had  dip- 
lomatically sent  her  a  box  of  chocolates  and  a  note  yester- 
day an  hour  before  she  wrote  this  to  him  ? 

For  Dorothy,  it  mu.st  be  said — and  let  it  be  spoken  low — 
was  sadly  mercenary,  and  the  boy  who  could  furnish  the 
most  entertainment  and — chocolates  was  the  most  favored 
so  long  as  the  attentions  and  candy  lasted.  Chul)  had  felt 
this  to  be  true  for  some  time,  but  luitil  now  he  could  not 
have  confessed  such  a  thought,  even  to  himself.  He  despised 
himself  for  wisliing  that  his  pocket  had  contained  more  than 
a  (piaiter  and  a  nickel,  which  amount  represented  tlu>  price 
of  admission  for  two  to  the  class  play,  so  that  he  couhl  luive 
sent  tile  clu)colates. 

A  merry  whislh-  l)roke  in  upon  his  liiltcr  inusings.  and  a 
nionuMit  latei'  Ilal  swung  gaily  around  tlu'  coi-ner.  his  cap 
tiitetl  at  a  provokingly  jaunty  angle. 


■'I  say,  Chub,"  he  asked  as  he  reached  his  friend,  "are 
you  going-  to  take  a  girl  to  the  play  tonight?" 

There  was  a  sullen  shake  of  dissent  from  Chub.  Hal's  face 
became  still  brighter. 

"Well,  I'm  glad  of  that,"  he  declared.  "You  know  how 
luicertain  my  laundry  is.  Yours  is  all  right  this  week?"  he 
inquired  with  concern. 

Chub  nodded  shortly.  A  daring  plan  suggested  itself  to 
him,  but  before  he  could  think  it  out  Hal,  in  friendly  fashion 
confided  to  him  that  he  intended  to  dress  early  and  "knock 
around  town"  before  going  after  Dorothy.  "With  a  mixture 
of  generosity  and  condescension  in  his  manner  he  added : 

"Come  on  up,  old  fellow,  and  stay  with  me  while  I  dress." 

Chub  could  only  assent  feebly,  and  a  few  moments  later 
the  two  boys  were  in  their  room,  where  Chub  sat  gloomily 
Avatching  the  progress  of  his  roommate's  painstaking  toilet. 
The  latter  seemed  unusually  critical  of  his  appearance  to- 
night, a  fact  which  tended  to  incense  Chub  further.  Silently 
he  saw  his  chum  cooly  help  himself  to  the  last  clean  collar 
without  the  customary  "If  yow  don't  need  it.'*  Evidently  he 
was  taking  no  chances  this  evening.  When  it  came  to  ties  he 
could  afford  to  be  more  civil. 

"Chub,  old  man,  I'd  like  one  of  your  ties  awfully  well  for 
tonight."  he  said.  "I  haven't  a  thing  that'll  look  well  with 
this  suit." 

And  without  waiting  for  a  reply  he  carefully  selected  the 
most  expensive  one  in  his  friend's  rack,  and  as  carefully  ad- 
justed it.  When  his  toilet  was  completed,  he  glanced  anx- 
iou.sly  at  his  shoes. 

"Didn't  have  the  price  for  a  shine,  and  these  certainly 
look  bum,"  was  his  somewhat  rueful  comment.  Then  brigbt- 
ening,  "How'd  you  like  to  have  me  break  in  those  new  ones 


of  yours?  Didn't  I  hear  you  say  they're  rather  uncomfort- 
able in  spots?" 

Chub,  remembering  one  evening  of  torture  spent  with  and 
because  of  those  shoes,  handed  them  over  with  fairly  good 
grace.  Bwt  the  daring  plan  still  remained  in  his  mind.  Hal's 
nerve  was  maddening.  His  manner  plainly  said,  "It  doesn't 
matter  Avhat  you  wear,  you.  know;  it's  a  different  thing, 
though,  when  a  fellow's  going  to  take  a  girl — and  you 
arn't. "    He  remarked  lightly  as  he  rose: 

"Now,  my  hat." 

Fortifying  himself  against  pleadings,  threats,  moral  and 
physical  persuasion.  Chub  announced  stonily: 

"I  guess  you'll  not  wear  that  tonight." 

Now.  while  the  boys  had  their  individual  clothing,  there 
was  one  thing  they  shared  in  common.  Going  with  girls  of 
the  Dorothy  type  had  been  rather  expensive,  and  when 
winter  came  and  there  was  need  of  something  in  the  way  of 
head-gear  other  than  caps  and  felt  hats,  the  two  shared  in 
buying  a  derby  which  was  to  be  held  jointly  and  worn  by 
one  when  it  Avoiild  not  interfere  with  the  other's  plans. 
There  had  been  no  trouble  before  this;  each  had  been  con- 
siderate of  the  other;  therefore,  Hal  was  amazed  at  Chub. 

"Not  wear  it!"  was  his  astonished  remark.  "Why,  you'll 
not  need  it  tonight.   Why  won't  I  wear  it?" 

To  this  Chub  had  apparently  no  reply  other  than  stationing 
himself  above  the  box  containing  the  hat. 

"You  must  be  crazy,"  was  Hal's  next  enraged  comment. 
"That  hat's  mine  as  much  as  it's  yours!" 

"Yes,  but  Avho's  worn  it  more,  I'd  like  to  know?"  came 
indignantly  from  Chub.  "You're  wearing  all  my  clothes  to- 
night, but  you  just  bet  you'll  not  get  this  hat.  Your  cap's 
all  right,  anyway."    This  last  tauntingly,  for  he  knew  how 


impossible  a  cap  was  for  eveniiiii'  Avear  from  Hal's  point  of 
view. 

The  latter  flushed  aud  faced  him  augrily.  "You  give  me 
that  hat  or — " 

He  left  ott'  impressively,  thinking  that  an  unfinished  threat 
would  imply  worse  things  than  a  completed  one.   The  other 
stood  unmoved,  closely  guarding  the  box.    Hal,  goaded  by 
the  other's  cm hnuess.  struck  out  with  his  clenched  fist.  Cluib 
dodged,  lost  his  i)alance  and.  alas !  crashed  down  npon  the 
box.  crushing  the  hat  beyond  recognition.    Hal's  hand  met 
the  wall  with  surprising  suddeness  and  i)ain. 
and  as  he  glared  down  at  his  rival  and  his 
rival  glared  u])  at  him — there  sounded  on 
the  (Inor  a  knock. 

Cliub  I'osc  with  an  effort  and  demanded 
wit  li  scant  courtesy  : 

"What  do  you  want 

'I'he  door  opened,  and  a  grinning  imp  of  a 
boy  stood  at  the  threshold.  The  late  combat- 
ants r'cali/.cd  wratlifully  that  it  was  Doi'o- 
thy's  kid  l)rother  and  that  he  had  heard  I 
"With  avai'icious  eves  fixed  on  Chub  the  bov 


"Here's  a  note  from  sis." 

f]agei'ly  ("hub  grasped  it.  and  the  boy  con- 
tinued with  siuuificance  : 

"She  fold  me  to  hurry  up — and  I  rail  ail 
the  way.  It  's  suic  some  ways  hei'e  an' — (Jee  ! 
but  I'm  tired  I"   Breathless  gasps  at  the  end. 


His  victim  hastily  drew  from  his  pocket  one  of  his  two 
coins  and  deposited  it  into  the  grimy  hand  of  the  urchin. 
Without  thanks  the  imp,  half  turning,  said  with  a  grin : 

"That  ain't  fer  you — it's  the  other  feller's.  An'  say — tell 
him,"  quickening  his  steps,  "that  Ted  Burnes  .just  now  sent 
sis  a  five-pounder  of  the  best  candy  in  town." 

With  that  he  was  gone,  and  Chub,  surrendering  the  note  to 
Hal,  luiderstood  the  contents  of  it  as  well  as  if  he  had  read  it. 
His  mind  wandered  regretfully  to  his  lost  nickel,  and  at  the 
same  time  his  hand  sought  his  pocket.  He  started  at  the 
sickening  discovery — he'd  given  that  likeness 
of  Satan  his  quarter  !  He  looked  across  at  his 
chum,  who  had  finished  reading  the  note. 
Something  like  sympathy  moved  him  to  say, 
as  he  extended  a  soiled  piece  of  paper: 

"I  got  one  a  good  deal  like  that  yester- 
day." 

Without  a  word  they  exchanged  notes, 
then  simultaneously  tore  them  into  bits,  toss- 
ing the  fragments  into  a  brass  ash  tray  ou 
the  table.  It  was  Chub  who  struck  a  match 
and  toiiched  it  to  the  pajiei-.  In  silence  both 
watched  the  flame  fiare  up.  then  slowly  die 
out.  Hal,  with  a  look  of  mute  understanding', 
extended  his  bi-uised  baud  as  he  said: 

"Shake." 

And  silently  they  shook  hands  over  the 
charred  remains. 


I  don 't  know  what  they  call  it

But,  Gee!  I  wish  somebody 'd

THE  TIE  GAME 


^^^^  HERE  is  a  tradition  at  Hilton  that  Thanksgiving' 
^^|»|  is  always  rainy,  bnt  this  one  proved  an  exception, 
^^^g  for  it  dawned  bright  and  clear.  At  a  little  before 
^^^^  three  the  grandstand  was  packed  with  a  howling 
mob  of  students  and  other  footbal  enthusiasts,  each 
waving  either  a  i-ed  pennant  of  Hilton  or  a  blue  one  of  St. 
Eustace.  Though  the  Hilton  coach  was  all  smiles  on  the  out- 
side, inwardly  he  Avas  railing  the  fate  that  deprived  Hilton  of 
IMarch.  her  crack  half-back  and  captain,  who  was  on  proba- 
tion. At  this  time  he  was  before  the  faculty  trying  to  (jual- 
ify  himself. 

Suddenly  a  shout  was  heard,  and  almost  at  the  same  time 
the  two  teams  trotted  on  to  the  field.  Then  the  whistle  blew, 
and  the  two  teams  bunched  in  the  center  of  the  tield.  A  coin 
was  to.ssed,  and  the  men  lined  up.  The  referee's  whistle 
sounded,  the  pigskin  soared  aloft,  tnd  the  game  Avas  on. 

The  ball  fell  into  the  ready  hands  of  Blair,  the  Hilton  full- 
l)aek,  who  sped  swiftly  down  the  field.  One  white  line  passed 
under  foot,  then  another.  l)ut  before  a  third  could  be  made 
the  St.  Eustace  ends  were  upon  him.  Three  times  Blair  was 
rammed  into  the  St.  Eu.stace  line,  each  time  for  a  small  gain, 
but  at  the  end  of  the  third  down  St.  Eustace  tore  gaping 
holes  ill  tlieii'  opponents'  line  big  enough  for  a  coach  and 
foul'.  UKii'c  than  large  enough  for  the  St.  Eustace  backs 
to  go  galio|)ing  through  for  three,  five  and  even  a  dozen 
yards.  No  line  can  long  stand  such  treatment,  and  finally,  by 
a  i-iish  through  his  position,  the  big  left  tackle  of  Hilton  was 
knocked  aside  with  such  force  that  he  lay  where  he  had 
fallen.    lilair  held  up  his  hand,  and  a  snhstitnte  struggled 


agitatedly  with  his  sweater  and  bounded  onto  the  field.  The 
rest  of  the  half  w^as  a  losing  one  for  Hilton,  and  when  the 
w^histle  blew  the  score  stood  St.  Eustace  4,  Hilton  0. 

The  second  half  started  about  as  the  first  had.  Back,  back 
went  the  Hilton  line  till  it  was  only  ten  yards  from  their  goal. 
At  that  moment  March  appeared  on  the  run,  struggling  with 
his  vest  as  he  ran.  Blair  saAV  him,  and,  suddenly  discovering 
a  lame  ankle,  called  time.    The  referee's  Avhistle  piped. 

"I  can  play,"  shouted  joyfully. 

"Then  get  in  there  at  half,"  the   captain  commanded. 
"And  oh!  March!"  he  pleaded,  "kick  us  out  of  this  hole."' 
"All  right,"  he  addecl  to  the  referee. 

"Hilton's  ball,  first  down,  five  yards  to  gain,"  called  the 
referee. 

Back  on  the  goal  line  stood  the  half-back  Avith  his  hands 
outstretched.  Suddenly  the  ball  was  snapped.  A  second 
later  it  soared  in  the  air,  propelled  by  a  mighty  kick.  A  St. 
Eustace  player  caught  the  ball,  but  before  his  foot  had  tAviee 
touched  the  ground  a  Hilton  end  upset  him.  On  the  next 
play  St.  Eustace  made  her  first  disastrous  fumble.  A  Hilton 
player  grabbed  the  ball  and  sprinted  for  tAventy  yards  before 
a  St.  Eustace  player  tripped  him.  A  double  pass  was  made; 
the  ball  Avas  in  kicking  distance  of  the  St.  Eustace  goal. 
IMarch  took  his  position  for  a  kick.  The  ball  came  Ioav  and 
straiglit  into  his  hands.  Taking  a  (juick  step  forAvard  his 
toe  met  the  ball  and  sent  it  safely  over  the  goal  posts  just 
before  a  St.  Eustace  player,  Avith  strength  born  of  despera- 
tio!i.  kiu)eked  him  violently  to  the  earth.  The  score  Avas  tied, 
and  in  a  Avhirl  of  red  the  croAvd  rushed  over  the  ropes. 


Willie  B.  (in  Dutch):    "What  does  'damit'  mean? 
Miss  K. :    "  Look  it  np  in  your  vocabulary,  and  take  the 
last  meaning." 

Willie  (stupidly)  :   "Did  you  say  to  look  up  'damit'?" 
Miss  K.  (losing  patience)  :    "Yes,  D-A-M-I-T  !" 


Miss  Fitch:   "Green  fruit  always  contains  a  great  amount 
of  starch.  Now  what  did  the  boy  get  that  ate  green  apples?" 
Somebody  blushes;  the  class  giggles. 


Miss  Dayton:  "Rowena,  did  you  break  a  whole  egg?" 
Rowena:    "I  couldn't  break  a  half  one,  could  I?"

HOW  TO  T>ASS  AN  EXAM. 

1.  Go  into  the  room  five  miniites  late.  Speak  to  every- 
body, especially  the  teacher. 

2.  Take  a  seat  right  under  the  teacher's  eye.  This  al- 
ways pays. 

3.  After  you  get  your  paper  out  turn  it  over  and  sharpen 
your  pencil  for  five  minutes. 

4.  Read  the  questions.  Take  at  least  five  minutes  for 
this. 

5.  Look  around  the  room  and  smile. 

6.  (io  up  and  ask  the  teacher  about  a  question  you  just 
can't  understand. 

7.  If  you  know  anything,  write  it  down. 

8.  Be  sure  to  write  at  a  furious  rate  if  you  write  at  all. 

9.  Be  sure  not  to  read  the  paper  over.  This  betrays  lack 
of  confidence. 

10.  Walk  up  to  the  teacher  and  give  him  your  paper. 

11.  Coiiii)liinent  him  on  such  a  fair  examination,  and  ask 
him  when  he  can  come  out  to  dinner. 

12.  Don't  worrv.

CHAPEL 

When  to  chapel  Ave  do  flock, 
And  then  by  chance  do  aught  to  shock, 
These  very  words  will  come  to  mock : 
"You'll  surely  come  to  grief." 

If  some  simple  little  lass 
llcf  class-room  door  should  chance  to  pass. 
And  accidently  ( ?)  cut  a  class — 
"She'll  surely  come  to  grief." 

If  some  l)oy  sluuild  chanc(>  to  be 
Loud  aiul  rude,  and  then  if  he 
Sliould  sometime  go  out  on  a  si)ree — 
"IIc'Il  siii'cly  conic  to  grief." 


REFRAIN 

If  a  boy  some  bright  noon-day 
Should  walk  home  with  a  miss  so  gay^. 
Soon  for  it  he'll  have  to  pay — 
"He'll  surely  come  to  grief." 

If  a  teacher  hears  you  cuss. 
Or  flnds  your  books  all  in  a  muss, 
Or  hears  you  get  into  a  fuss — 
"You'll  surely  come  to  grief." 

If  a  teacluM'  catches  you 
Shooting  beans,  and  i)eanuts.  too. 
Or  even  ci'aps,  things  will  be  blue — 
"You'll  surely  come  to  grief." 


IVE  WOULDN'T  THINK  OF  SUCH  A  THINQ 


Reulx'ii  jiiid  Helen  asked  not  to  be  advertised  in  the  eol- 
luiins  of  the  Resume. 

Of  course  we  won't  get  mad  because  they  thought  such 
things  of  us,  and  we  won't  mention  that  they  are  sweet  on 
each  other,  either. 


(iladys  Yarl)roiigh  told  us  that  just  because  she  liked  a 
boy  was  no  sign  she  wanted  to  be  roasted.  As  if  we  would 
condescend  to  become  so  incadaverous  as  to  rumor  that  her 
affections  ever  siiould  ramify  or  become  segregated.  She. 
of  course,  will  remain  loyal  to  llenuan.  and  together  they 
will  drift  down  through  history  as  having  had  the  worst  case 
in  tlic  records  of  High. 


Walter  and  Helen  came  personally  to  the  Resume  office 
and  begged  that  we  would  not  say  anything  about  what  they 
did  the  night  of  the  class  party  at  Dorsey's. 

Good  gracious!  We  wouldn't  think  of  telling  people  that 
they  both  have  lived  in  Springfield  this  long  and  stiil  got 
lost  (?). 


Mary  and  Ray  admit  that  since  Freshmen  thej^'ve — well — 
er — to  say  the  least,  been  constant  friends,  but  then  you 
know  some  things  don't  look  so  well  in  print. 

Why  we  assure  you,  dear  friends,  that  we'd  no  sooner  tell 
people  that  YOU  may  be  seen  any  morning  before  8  :20  in 
the  auditorium  than  Ave'd  tell  the  same  about  ourselves,  and 
everybody  knows  that  one  staffer  won't  peach  on  another  ( ?). 


Among  the  pathetic  appeals  was  one  from  Josephine  Routt, 
beseeching  us  not  to  comment  on  any  of  her  love  affairs. 

No,  sir.  We  think  too  much  of  her  to  tell  that  she  is  often 
most  in  tears  in  9:42  English  Avhen  she  thinks  Carl  isn't  com- 
ing to  class,  but  brightens  up  greatly  when  he  arrives  late, 
as  usual. 


THE  BLUFFER 

Breathes  tliere  a  Bluff  with  soul  so  dead 
Who  never  to  himself  hath  said : 
"This  nijiht  I'll  study  hard  and  well; 
I'll  erani  niy  Chemistry  and  tell 
Of  every  stunt  in  History; 
Or  demonstrate  Geometry; 
Get  up  my  Civil  Gov.,  and  Dutch 
And  Enolish,  too.  or  Trig,  and  such ; 
I'll  make  ]\liss  Kearney  proud  of  me; 
]\liss  Ross  will  turn  her  eyes  to  me; 
The  Principal  may  smile  at  me ; 
And  sure  Miss  Ott  Avill  dote  on  me ; 
And   Chem.   will   not   then    Sear  me 
thi'ough  : 

I'll  do  the  things  a  Grind  should  do 
To  ring  a  halo  ring  each  day; 
I'll  bone  and  dig — not  bluff'?"    I  say 
Breathes  there  a  Bluff'  with  soul  so  dead 
"Who  never  to  himself  hath  said — 

All  this  and  more ''.  I  also  ask,  What  dif- 
fci-ence  it  made  if  he  did  say  all  this  and 
mole  when  next  day  all  the  cards  did 
a  double-shufHe  to  what  he  hadn't 
crammed  and  they  tui'ned  out  about  like 
this: 


You've  heard  the  minstrel  footers. 
With  their  funny,  tuneful  Avays? 

The  brass  band  'roimd  the  corner 
In  the  sultry  summer  days? 

Ever  heard  the  B.  0.  A.  quartette  f 

You've  heard  the  baseball  rooters? 

And  the  circus  organ  scream? 
Harmonious  zephyrs  stealing 

Like  the  music  of  a  dream? 

But  NOT  the  B.  O.  A.  quartette  ? 

You've  heard  the  cat  a-wauling, 
Cat  a-mewling,  squalling  too  ? 
Heard  the  happy  serenading 

When  the  night  is  crisp  with  dew? 
NEVER  heard  the  B.  0.  A.  quar- 
tette ? 

Yon've  faced  the  cannon's  thunder? 

Had  a  buzz-saw  charm  your  ears? 
You've  caught  the  sparkling  echoes 
Of  the  music  of  the  si)heres? 
But  never  heard  the  voices 
Of  that  B.  O.  A.  (|uartette? 
What?    i\o!!!    That  IS  funny. 


There    was    a    young    Junior  named

THE  T)EPARTURE  FROM  CHAPEL 

I  hear  in  the  hall  above  me 

The  rush  of  heavy  feet, 
The  sound  of  doors  that  are  opened, 

And  voices  harsh  and  sweet. 

From  my  office  I  see  through  the  doorAvay, 

Descending  the  broad  hall  stairs. 
Grave  Seniors  and  giggling  Sophomores 

And  Juniors  Avith  haughty  airs. 

A  sudden  rush  for  the  stairway, 

A  sudden  raid  for  the  halls. 
By  four  doors  left  ungarded 

They  leave  the  chapel  walls.

^  RECITATION  IN  SOLID 

Professor  G— gg  begins  program  by  asking  Arthur  Myers 
ail  excuse.  Arthur  marches  to  the  desk  with  it,  accom- 
panied by  a  chorus  of,  "Who  signed  it,  Art?"  "Didn't  E  E 
tell  you  you  mustn't  sign  your  own  excuses?"  etc.  etc  Prof 
G— gg  then  assigns  the  lesson  for  Tuesday.  Lee  Moore  takes 
the  floor  with,  "Say,  Mr.  G— gg;  that's  the  longest  lesson 
you  ve  given  us  this  year."  Harry  Lawing  maintains  it's  the 
shortest,  until  Roy  Hart,  over  by  the  door,  makes  a  noise  like 
Jlr.  Dodd,  and  the  question  drops. 

Mr.  G— gg  then  puts  a  circle  on  the  board,  draws  a  line 
through  It  and  proceeds  to  demonstrate:  "If  the  radius  is 
greater  than  'Y,'  the  line  will  intersect  that  sphere  in  how 
many  points  ? ' ' 


"Two,"  in  concert. 

"If  it  is  equal  to  'Y,'  in  how  many  points?" 
"One,"  from  a  number. 

Ray  Lyle  objects,  and  a  debate  is  soon  on :  "Resolved,  That 
a  tangent  to  a  sphere  does  not  intersect  that  sphere  '"'  Af- 
firmed by  Lyle ;  denied  by  Rukes.  Mr.  G— gg,  after  hearing 
able  discussion  from  both  sides,  decides  that  it  depends  upon 
which  way  you  look  at  the  question.  Illustrating  bv  a  chalk 
box  he  says : 

^''The  surface  of  this  solid  does  not  belong  to  the  box." 

"I'll  bet  you  can't  take  it  away  from  it,"  from  :\loore  ■  and 
"Whose  is  it,  then?"  from  Myers. 

Carl  Israel's  form  darkening  the  doorway  reminds  the  clas.s 
that  it  is  nearly  time  for  the  bell  to  ring  and  Mr.  G— gg  makes 
one  last  effort.  He  snaps  his  fingers  for  attention,  and  awak- 
ening John  Woods,  who,  to  make  up  for  lost  time.  Avaves  his 
hand  in  the  air  with : 

"I  can  prove  that  one,  Mr.  G — gg." 

The  Prof,  takes  courage  and  gives  Mr.  Woods  the  floor. 
He  starts  his  recitation  thus : 
"Well,  hem-m-m — " 

The  bell  rings,  and  Mr.  G— gg  dismisses  the  class  with  : 
"We  didn't  get  over  as  much  of  the  les.son  todav  as  I 
hoped  to.    I  don't  see  what's  the  reason.    I  wish  someone 
would  suggest  a  faster  way  of  getting  these  proofs."

INNOCENCE 


This  was  my  first  High  School  grade  card.  I  approached 
the  teacher  hesitatingly,  grabbed  my  card,  rushed  down  the 
hall  out  into  the  yard,  and  sat  down  behing  a  large  oak  tree. 
With  trembling  fingers  I  opened  it  and  found  four  "V.  P.s" 

"What  can  they  mean?"  I  asked  myself  over  and  over 
again. 

"Oh!    They're  vastly  perfects."  said  a  voice  behind  me. 
I  turned  around  Avith  a  scared  face. 
"Honest,  are  they?"  I  asked. 

"Why.  of  course,"  said  the  Seniin-, 
whom  I  recognized  as  the  owner  of 
the  voice.  "You've  done  fine.  Take 
it  home  and  let  father  see  it.  I  bet 
he'll  be  surprised." 

"Yes,  I  knoAV  he  will  be.  too."  I 
said.  "]\Iuch  obliged  for  telling  me 
what  the  'V.  P.s'  mean." 

"You're  welcome,"  he  said  with  a 
smile. 


Miss  Ausherman,  to  Dolphie  K.  in  Junior  Eng- 
lish: "Now,  Dolphie,  take  the  subject,  'How  to 
Sew  on  a  Button, '  and  tell  us  about  it,  either  by 
use  of  exposition  or  description." 

Dolphie:  "Well — er — a — that  is,  I  haven't 
had  much  experience  along-  that  line  myself, 
but—" 


Miss  Ross:  "Harry,  what  was  the  'Statute 
of  Liveries'?" 

Harry  K.  (who  hasn't  been  ])aying  attention)  : 
"Er— oh,  the  'Statute  of  Liberty'?  Oh.  that 
was  a  law  that  a  man  should  pay  so  much  and 
get  his  liberty." 


Mr.  Hull,  calmly  looking  out  of  the  windoAv, 
remarked:  "Yes.  Satan  was  as  smooth  as  the 
devil." 

The  class  gasped. 


"Carl  Isreal.  have  you  ever  read  any  other 
elegy  besides  Grav'.s  'Elegy  in  a  Countrv  Church 
Yard'?" 

"Yes,  one — 'Burke's  Conciliation'." 


Mr.  Dodd  (holding  unruly  pupil  by  collar) 
"I'm  afraid  Satan  has  a  hold  of  you." 
Boy:   "I'm  fifraid  so,  too."

WARNER'S 

RUST-PROOF  CORSETS 

Corset  style  is  noted  in  the  ex- 
treme length  of  skirt.  This  com- 
pletely encases  the  figure,  but  is 
unboned  and  soft  and  absolutely 
comfortable,  sitting,  standing  or 
walking.  These  new  Directoire 
Styles  define  the  waist  but  do  not 
emphasize  its  curves;  the  emphasis 
is  on  length — the  corsetted  figure 
presenting  an  appearance  of  long, 
unbroken  lines,  as  shown  in  this 
Warner  Corset. 

The  complete  line  of  our  corsets 
shows  a  large  variety  of  shapes — 
long,  medium  and  short,  making 
it  possible  for  every  type  of  figure 
to  fill  its  requirements  with  this 
season's  fashionable  garments. 

These  corsets  are  guaranteed  to 
WEAR — not  to  rust,  break  or  tear. 
Warner's  standard  of  quality  is  so 
high  that  this  guarantee  is  almost 
superfluous, 

On  the  tissue  paper  wrapped 
around  each  pair  of  Warner's  Cor- 
sets is  an  illustrated  story  telling 
the  proper  method  of  lacing  and 
fitting  your  corsets.
