Get me, this fellow is some scientist. For instance, his coursen|

in Chemistry began before he was out of the toddling- age. To |J

hear him rattle off jaw-breaking- formulae reminds you of a second

Hiedenhain or Abderhalden. Why, the oxidation of carbon

disulphide and its relation to the agricultural subject of moles is as

easy as eating Chilli to him. Chemistry is only a start. His

knowledgs of the topography of Graydon Springs would wastej J

printer's ink if it were tabulated. He can tell you how MotherEarth adjusts her skin; why Vesuvius spits her fiery liquid andwhy Shasta's coat is white; why cities stand on their heads in

deserts and seas.

With his overalls and jumper and brogan shoes he makes somej

]

farmer, for under his mask lies hidden sacks of knowledge of bugs,

beans, beasts, beetles and bees. A mite on a hen or a scale on a

tree startle his imagination, believe me. He diagnosed and cured

_ six sick soil cases in so many days more or less.

But in summary, if you wish to know how he bums his time in

school just study the following sentence and the Golden Rule:

The diagonals of a circular field intersect at a mineral spring where

a farmer is studying intently the effects of the water on the grow-

Smith, common name that, but take it from me Socrates, his

bean is most unusual. That little noodle which is hooked to the i

cephalic terminus of his spinal boneyard contains more tabulated, '

correlated, annotated historical stuff than was ever sardined in the

think tank of the Hon. John Clark Pidrath. Take it from meSpirit of Napoleon, he knows just how you got balled up at Wat-

Oerloo. He is sure wise to your blunders. He's got Thomas E. nWatson outclassed and pushed clear off the board when it comes to LI

puttin' out the dope about how Wellington hipped you. And get

me on this, Boney, had this young spirit of Mars been there in

place of his noble Unk Kafightsky that St. Helena frost wouldnever harmed your alfalfa. Believe me, Bo, he's had his hooksand lamps on everything in Clio's almanac. Honest, Pal, there's LI

no ruff stuff about this I'm handin' you. Joseph Smith didn't

know half as much about wives as William Ernest knows aboutthe capers of man.

Oh yes, Caroline, you know they reel it off to us about Euclid

being the papa of geometry. Well, if this Smith with the Williamj [

Ernest handle had lived back in Mr. Euclid's time, Mr. Euclid

would have one less honor. Pythagoras made an awful fuss aboutthat "square on the hypotenuse" business you know. This little

knowledge bump knows thirteen ways to prove the same thing

but he is just as calm as if he expects always to be a bachelor.I

This woman speaks the dead tongue as well as Riley does

Hoosier lingo. Meet her thrice and if you dont say "Salve" the

next time it wont be her fault. Mark you Antony! she can talk

for days on how Caesar fought the German bipeds. Cicero is as

familiar to her as a shamrock is to an Irishman. Primis Annus in

the Latin lingoism is as approachable by a Freshy as Montessorism

is to a tot when she is the pedagogue. Sojourn in her class for a

few days and you will hear things your knowledge to fatten.

Webster appears in the veil of a woman when she surmounts

Bunker Hill and begins on "Venerable Man." If old Pat Henry

could see her stamp her foot, raise her hand, and cry, "Give meLatin or give me English" he would "Never again" be able to

hear the clanking of steel on the Boston plain. To follow her in

spirit is to be a "barefoot boy ' helping his father revive a "Deserted

Village" by "planting apple trees" in "Merrie England." Is this

all? "Quoth the Raven, 'Never more.'

Great Scott! This woman can Shell(y) a few lines to beat the

Dickens and send them to Mil(ton) before they are Dry(den). Butwe shall not say more for since meeting her we realize that "Life is

real, life is earnest" and that we "Dare not write as funny as (I)

To use the words of an old man, who prophesies foreboding-

evils and events, I just felt it in my bones that something- wasgoing to happen to my old midnight haunt, the schoolhouse roof.

This feeling was intensified when I saw several boys, not especially

noted for their meaness, nor yet with their names on the model boyrecord, talking in meaning tones, and glancing surreptitously over

their shoulders toward the schoolhouse. I also remembered that

they had made a trip to the attic before school time and found that

those small windows leading to the roof could be opened, a fact

which seemed to please them very much for they descended smiling

and one of them said, "Wont those ignominious Freshmen andthose love-enchanted Juniors be highly exasperated when the light

of day breaks upon their—well we will wait until morning to

see the effects."

When this bombardment was discharged by the conspirator I

left for my day home in the old oak tree just north of the school-

house, determined that I would be present with those kids in their

nightly raid for they would need an old owl's eye if the night wasexceedingly dark.

All went well during the day and at night I started out onmy mission. I was not long locating them for I discovered one

that led me to the rest of the bunch. My, I sure did have to ram-ble some for thev borrowed some horses back of the store buildings

and flew—yes that expresses it, to a particular farm where there

was an old haystack and there they all brought forth a whole store

of second hand clothes, which they began stuffing with hay. Thiswork was soon completed and back they started, but here wassome difficulty. I suppose the horses were angry at having stood

Q

a

^m

sm^\\==i\\ \ oo niBif^iBiH nfE^^n iiisiPfo

U so long tied, anyway every time they started, the dummy, (for U

that was what they had made at the haystack), began kicking the

horse in the flank and they began running. At this rate they

were not long making it back to the schoolhouse.

Now I wondered what they would do, but I have learned never

to ask questions, so I just flew to the old oak tree and awaited the

results.

The boys worked patiently with a stick at a window until they

succeeded in opening it. Then they whispered and laughed, andwhispered some more, and three or four went in and three stayed

on the outside. Those that stayed on the outside were nervous

because I heard one say, "Professor Andrew has not gone homefrom town yet and Professor Smith will be sure to hear this noise

we are making. Ever since the note books were stolen he always

looks toward the school house every time he has an idea that he

hears an unusual noise."

Just at this time the dormer window opened and three boys

crawled out on the roof. As they crawled up toward that piece of

architecture known as the "Lovers Tub," I could see their forms

outlined against the sky. One had a head of very curly hair while

another was exceedingly tall and slim. I could not see the third

but pretty soon one of the boys dropped his shoe off the roof, for

they had taken their shoes off when they reached the roof, and a

boy they called Cobb said, "I will bet that was Slocum's shoe for

none other would make such noise.

By this time the boys had dragged the dummies to the Lovers

Tub and tied them, laughing all the while. All at once some one

whistled very soft and they were all very quiet. I wondered whathad caussd this when I saw an old man coming up the street to-

ward the schoolhouse. As he turned the corner he made a funnynoise and I knew that he had discharged a volley of tobacco juice

in the direction of where one of the boys was hiding.

I suppose that it was accidental but the boys laughed very

much over the fact that one of their number had been lying in that

identical spot.

The old man had hardly gone when one of the crowd jumped

=j from the schoolhouse window to the ground. Immediately two [^

boys lying under a tree near by jumped to their feet and left as

quickly as possible. The boy, who had come thru the window,

/giiDTaii^^^ih iif^=^i[pif^[m ii h^== i p Alalia

U] began laughing- and called them back declaring that he had never

seen them make a better hundred yard dash even when they had

been practising for track meet.

Then all came from the schoolhouse and looked at their work.

I did not know what was so funny about it but the next morning

the boys and girls that they call Freshmen were very angry at

I

seeing a large Freshman hanging in effigy from the corner of the

schoolhouse. It was also evident that those two figures labeled

"Junior Lovers" suggested some very funny things to some of

the students. Mc. '15.

One day having- grown tired of studying, I went out for a stroll

to refresh my mind. I headed for a tract of timber near the school

house and was soon strolling about among the trees.

As I was walking along I suddenly came upon an old man lying

fast asleep in a shady spot underneath a large tree. This old man n

wore a long beard and was dressed in a garb totally strange to me, LI

while by his side lay a long scythe which he had evidently been

whetting when he fell asleep. I saw that I had surprised old

Father Time himself, who having grown tired of keeping track of

the commencement preparations of W. G. H. S. had decided to

take a nap in order that he might be more serviceable to those LI

pupils who were using him so relentlessly.

Here was an opportunity not to be cast aside. For lying by the

side of the old man along with his scythe was a large journal in which

he kept a record of his loss and gain. With great care therefore nI tiptoed to the book and, securing it, retired to the shade of LI

another tree where I could read it without fear of awaking the old

man.

In this book I saw several things but that which interested memost was the future career of the Junior class of the W. G. H. S.

Ralph McLemore after serving a short apprenticeship in hisj

father's bank, began to look for a wider field for his genius andbecame the president of a new Continental Banking System of

which he was the originator.

Gladys Ham became known for her efficiency as a skilled musician

and was renowned over a large district as the best pianist in thej

j

n country. ^

U Tom Wright devoted himself to the world of sport, became a

past master in the art of baseball and was manager of a team of

his own which several times won the world's championship.

Erma Cummins started early in life in the walks of pedagogyand later became one of the able instructors of Vassar college.

Gervais Smith after diligent study and application became a

|

doctor and the leading specialist of New York City.

Winnie Tarrant also became a teacher and for a long time was a

teacher at Vassar with Erma Cummins.Mark Rogers still worked on the farm but by using the know-

ledge gained at W. G. H. S. he became the best farmer in the

country near his home.

Blanche Gorman and Cliff Edwards both married soon after

leaving school, one becoming the wife of a noted composer and the

other marrying a famous minister.

Dale Griffin was also a devotee to the world of sport and spent

his time in arduous practice for the Olympian Games in which he

often excelled.

Doolin Gorman left for Texas where he met Caruso from whomhe took singing lessons and whom he later succeeded as a superior

genius.

John Tarrant became a noted divine and spent most of his life

working among the heathen of the Cannibal Islands.

Clifford Farmer and John Hamstead formed a partnership and

started a magazine which became one of the most successful pub-

lications of the day.

These being the last members of the Junior class and fearing to

tarry longer lest the aged father should awake, I carefully closed

and returned the book and then made my way back to the school

house puzzling over what I had just read.

It is one or the strange things in our lives what interesting

tricks our memory plays us.

One evening as I sat gazing into the cheery firelight of my cozy

living room, with my mind drenched in reveries and pleasant mem-ories of two and a half score years ago, I chanced to pick up a

much cherished book of all books, my High School "Annuary" of

1915, and involuntarily I began turning thru its pages. As I read

its contents and looked again into the faces of my beloved school

fellows, I began to read over the lives and recall the peculiarities

and characteristics of each of my classmates.

The first familiar face that appeared before me was Opal Looney,

and I could see from her sweet, innocent face the same generous,

care-free slip of a girl of twenty years ago, full of life and always

ready to befriend everyone. Opal had a wide circle of friends.

Not only friends but chums she had by the score and as Opal

naturally possessed the qualifications of a newspaper reporter, she

constantly had a string of anxious girls about her ready to absorb

any information she might impart to them.

Next came Webster Anderson whose face recalled to me the firm,

serious, deep thinking, boy of our Sophomore year. Many stren-

ous and nerve wracking problems came before us but the clouds of

discouragement broke away when this great expounder came to the

rescue. So extensive was his vocabulary that we were compelled to

hie away for our lexicon after a brief talk with Webster.

"Valuable goods are very often done up in small packages," is a

very wise old saying and may be aptly applied to Tot Holmes, whose

face next appeared before me; the smallest in stature but not in

Ji h iirDirsi^nzzzzin ii he dbi

HJ mentality. Since music was her talent, the Sophomore class could

boast of at least one musician. Miss Mary's lessons were always

carefully prepared and if she succeeded in after life as in schooldays,

her life was surely a success.

Ollie Bloomer leader of the Sophomore class, won this distin-

guished place by her literary ability and her love for books. At any

time during- school hours, if you chanced to look about you, there

sat Ollie devouring a book. When the lessons were hard and other

members of the class came up with tasks unprepared, Ollie could

always be depended upon by our teachers.

Turning again the pages, I beheld the image of Gordon Mc-Clure, the expert basketball player, who carried off numeroushonors during his Sophomore year and who often entertained

great crowds of people by his masterly ability to shoot baskets at

the critical m >ment. Weil do I remember th^ various basket ball

games where "Gordy" was hailed victor, far and wide. Not only

in basket ball was he recognized as a leader but in many other

sports which afforded amusement at that time.

As I beheld the faces of Ernest Huffman and Leonard Osborne

I wondered what the Sophomore year at Walnut Grove wouldhave been if it had not been for the mischievious and funloving dis-

position of these two boys. Little did they care when Professor

Andrew gave them a severe scolding for molesting some studious

soul, or laughing during the recitation period. They never were

known to take anything seriously in schooldays and often I ponder

whether life has been as light and gay for them since.

Velma Smith was noted for her beauty and even her girl class-

mates admitted this fact. Always she was the same sweet modestgirl, beloved by everyone (especially Gordy.)

Nellie McNeil's face brought recollections of her studious nature

and her sunny disposition. Nellie was very active in athletics andwon many praises for her ability in this work.

Murray Davis was the only farmer our class was fortunate

enough to possess, and he always took a deep interest in Agricul-

ture. He could solve the most difficult problems and the class

looked to Murray for that. Although he was slow he was sure andalways stopped to think before he made a leap. In the latter part

of our Sophomore year, Murray's old nickname of "Mercury" waschanged to "Cobb," because of the ability he displayed in a cob

My gaze then fell upon Gladys Rice, the natural born artist;

looking- at her beautiful eyes her mass of lovely hair, and smiling

face, one could hardly judge her anything but an artist. And so

it was in her Sophomore year when the notebooks had to be filled

with drawings Gladys excelled all others. Her pleasant face and

cheery disposition won her many friends.

As I looked into the face of Zelma Holmes I remembered the

days of the Sophomore year when lessons were forgotten and all

else in a jolly time. Zelma never worried about her lessons and

spent most of her time watching the redhaired, freckle faced,

Junior lad.

Then appeared to me the face of Tina Grisham, the last but

not least. At any time you chanced to peep into the Library,

there stood Tina absorbed in some M. and M. History.

Once at midnight, all reclining-

,

Professor Smith, a light most shining,

Of the W. G. H. S.,

In his chamber lay ignoring

The sound of his own snoring

As with slumber he was blessed.

He was seated in his armchair, all reposing,

As he chanced to thus be dozing,

And around him lay his books on every side.

There were volumes of learned lore

Piled six deep upon the floor

And lying on the table three rows wide.

Then to his slumbering solitudej

Came a vision harsh and rude,

Such as Smith had never seen before.

Through the room there rushed a sighing

As of wicked souls a dying,

And a ghost came right up thru the floor.

Followed sound most wild and ringing

Like the chant of demons singing

As their victims roasted are and flayed.

With gleaming eyes the vision cried T|

And his roaring tones made Smith decide:

"Look at thyself," and tiembling Smith obeyed.

Round the room through the gloom

Crawling worms began to loom n

And fell upon the books lying near. -

Through the pages of the sages

Crept the worms with their rages

And ate the books that Smith held dear.

A worm raised its head and Smith gave a groan.

He saw by the light the worm's face was his own.

Slowly he rose and began to affirm:

"All too late I see what I have lacked,

This is exact without straying from fact,

For I am only a book-eating worm.";

One day at noon a stranger entered the Walnut Grove HighSchool building. This man was, from all appearances, an English-

man, for his dress and manner did not betoken a native American.

He was nervous and probably being a little excited he kept con-

tinually glancing about him as if seeking some one, yet dreading to

see them.

The Englishman first stopped in the hallway after entering the

building but the noise of the grade pupils here seemed to annoy

him and he began to ascend the stairs to the rooms of the HighSchool. He walked across the upper hall until he came to the

Professor's room and all the time he was looking swiftly about himsearching every face.

At the moment the Englishman appeared in the door of the

room the Professor was busy grading some notebooks that lay

piled on the desk before him; and he did not look up. He wasinterrupted in his work by the sound of a voice saying, "Pardonme but this is Professor Andrew; is it not?"

Receiving a reply in the affirmative, the stranger introduced him-

self. "I am Professor Rodgers of the Woodland Business College.

I am making a tour of all the classified High Schools in Southwest

Missouri in the interest of my college. I want to give before the

pupils of these schools a practical demonstration of what may be

accomplished in ours. And I would like to give a lecture to the

pupils of your school this evening if you can spare me the time."

This request had been delivered in a nervous, explosive fashion

and it was a full half minute before Andrew could reply. As he

was about to do so there was a noise in the hall and a second

stranger appeared in the door of the room. He was also evidently

<UId1[ct]|1 il[S][al|g7H C m c 3 c ][

t>

U 1a foreigner, being a tall, heavy, fellow with iron-gray mustache and khair and eyes shadowy and dark lit up by gleams like smoldering

fires.

At the sight of this newcomer Professor Rodgers turned pale

and grasped the desk before him to keep from falling. He wasterribly frightened. With a quick movement of his hand he drew

a paper from his inside coat pocket and clutched it fiercely while he| j

looked defiance toward the man in the door.

Professor Andrew did not notice this and rising he walked across

the room to interview the second man. In this short momentProfessor Rodgers seeing that he was unnoticed glanced about

him for some means of escape from the room. As he did so he

noticed an overcoat lying on the desk before him. Stooping he

thrust the paper he held in his hand into a pocket of the coat.

Then Prof. Andrew, having finished his conference with the second

man, turned again to Mr. Rodgers.

That evening, Rodgers gave a demonstrative lecture on the

mathematical facilities of the Woodland Business College to a

congregation of students in the Assembly Hall. It was given in

the rapid, jerky manner of a man who was laboring under some

great nervous strain.

The library of the W. G. H. S. is in the rear of the Assembly

Hall. After the lecture when all had gone and the room was quiet,

a shade of a window in the library suddenly stirred and from be-

hind it stepped a tall, heavy looking man with iron-gray mustache

and hair. Just then, Uncle Billy, the janitor, was heard coming

up the stairs to lock the doors for the night and the tall man fled

down an opposite flight of steps and left the building, unseen.

It was night, dark and gloomy. After the sun had disappeared,

clouds, dull gray, heavy and somber gathered swiftly along the

lifeless sky of the north and threatened a night of storm and rain.

A wind of fitful gusts sprang up, mourning of the lost souls of

the dead as it swept along. It was a night such as thieves, vag- \

!

abonds and evil-doers delight in.

Along a back alley near the school house, at midnight crept

three men. They all stooped and hurried along as if pursued by a

phantom. The man in front carried a bundle over his shoulder,

while the other two carried a ladder between them. Straight to|

the building they hurried. Here they first tried all the doors but frf

finding- them locked, they gathered in a group beneath the bell

tower and began to consult each other.

After a few moments they again appeared and, raising the lad-

der, they placed it at one of the windows of the upper story and

the man with the bundle ran up the ladder, while the other tworemained below.

Arriving at the top, the man opened the bundle and brought

forth a short, rounded contrivance which was fashioned like a piece

of piping. He turned this toward the window in front of him and

soon a light began to glow. This light grew stronger and strong-

er, varying in color as it increased in intensity. It became so bright

that the man was forced to turn away his head to save his eyes.

Bv the light you could see that his mustache and hair was iron-

gray. Then the glass began to crumple with the heat and the

pane of the window burned away until nothing was left. Seeing

this, the man shut off the light of the tube and reaching through

the hole, he released the fastening. Raising the window, he

stepped inside. Here he replaced the tube in the bundle and drew

forth a piece of glass which accurately fitted the broken pane in

the window. After this was replaced, it could not be told that

the window had ever been tampered with.

Just at midnight Professor Andrew issued from a store

down town where he had been attending a meeting of the board

of directors and started to return home. As he emerged from

the shelter of the awnings over the sidewalk, a chilly wind began

to blow on him and he shivered. He was wishing for his overcoat

when he chanced to remember that he had left it lying on his desk

at the school house. As it would not be out of his way, he de-

cided to go by and get it.

The school house was dark and deserted yet Proff. was not

afraid. Although he was not a timorous man, he would have

sworn that as he was ascending the stairs to his room, he heard

something fall outside and the sound of men running swiftly

away. Going to his room, he walked to his desk and struck a

match. The desk was bare and the overcoat was gone. At the

same instant there was a crashing sound in the basement, followed

by a faint, muffled cry. With silent steps Professor left the build-

ing and hurried home.

The next day Professor made inquiries about his coat, but itrj=n The next clay .rroressor made inquiries aoout his coat, but it'~

did not appear. The morning- of the second day, however, it was

found on a post in the garden by some of the Freshmen.

It was a warm, sultry morning of Commencement week in early

May. The air was oppressive and laden with heaviness, filled

with strange, unreasonable forebodings. The sun had risen in IM

a bank of red looking clouds, which had later dispersed, and then, !

reforming again, now lay protentiously along the horizon in

ominous, electrically charged masses.

The first pupil to enter the W. G. H. S. building that morning

tried to whistle but the inexplicable atmosphere of the place chilled

the whistle ere it could develop.p

On entering the hall, the student noticed Uncle Billy hurrying

from one radiator to another. The steam seemed to be on a frolic.

The day was really too warm for any furnace heat and the student

passed out of the heavy air of the lower rooms to his own, where

he began to prepare his lessons.

The room was very quiet and very hot.

After the lapse of a few moments the student was impressed

with the quietness of the room. It was something out of the or-

ordinarv. Even the radiators had grown still. For several

minutes he listened while there was never a sound. Then there

was a slamming of doors below, and Uncle Billy ran through the

hall shouting something in tones of greatest fear. After that

came the explosion. The floor of the room upheaved like the back

of a giant animal; the walls swayed and crumbled and the roof

crackled and broke under the strain. For a moment the entire

building seemed raised by the power of the steam, then the floor

sank and the student amid a chaos of books and desks, felt himself

plunging into a yawning abyss and a white cloud of steam from

the bursted boiler enveloped all.

When the student recovered consciousness he was lying on the

ground in the darkness, he could not tell where, while a man withj

a cloth was stooping over him, bathing his forehead in water.

As he became more accustomed to the darkness, the lad saw he

was in an underground chamber, for the wall were of earth. Theroof seemed to be a pile of debris over that which had once been

the opening to the room he was now in. An underground stream

was running thru one side of his prison and it was from this the

man had probably taken the water to revive him. Taking- a good

look at his companion, he saw that he was a tall lean-looking manwith iron -gray hair and mustache. He recognized him as the

stranger who had visited the school at noon, several weeks before.

"Where am I?" he asked weakly, for his head was throbbing

and he ached all over.

"My son," the man answered, "as well as I can tell, you are

underneath the building of the W. G. H. S., in the bottom of an

old well that the school house is over. But what has happened

outside?"

Rising to his feet the boy replied that the boiler had bursted and

blown up the school house and he had fallen down thru the

rent walls to the place where he now was.

"It was lucky for you that you chanced to strike this well for if

you had not the rubbish which came piling down over it would

have crushed you to death."

"But can we get out?" asked the boy fearing.

"Sure we can," and he smiled such a weird, horrid grin that the

boy, still more afraid, cried out again.

"Who are you? How came you here? Where are we? I don't

understand.

"

Still smiling the man answered: "Be seated on this rock here

in the corner and I will tell you I have wanted to talk to some

one for a long time. It cannot especially interest you but I will

teH^you the exact story of how I came to be here. I am General

Von Harlemberg of the German army. At the beginning of the

present European war, I was serving on the staff of the Kaiser. I

was present at a meeting of this staff in which it was determined

to take Gibralter from the English. An English officer who had

turned traitor a few days before told us that the plans of the

fortress were in possession of a retired English general who was

living at Scarborough. There are no other plans in the world,

for the English guard this place carefully and these are all the

plans they have ever allowed drawn off. They guard every possible

means by which an outsider might gain intelligence of the place.

The Kaiser wished to secure these plans and a German fleet sailed

to the English coast. Scarborough was shelled. I was on the

fleet and during the shelling I was landed. I easily passed for an

Englishman. After landing I began search for this officer. Dis-

n\ [n

M covering him I made an attempt to secure the plans but failed. MBecoming alarmed for the safety of his prized possessions the

Englishman fled to London. He discovered that I was following

him and fled to Canada. I still pursued and he, still fleeing,

finally entered the United States. You probably remember Prof.

Rodgers of the Woodland Business College. That was none other

than the man I was pursuing. The day he was here I saw him ii

hide the plans in your Professor's overcoat pocket. That night I

burned a glass out of a window with a tube charged with radium

and entering, secured the coat. Then I heard someone coming andfled to the basement to hide. I rushed into a far corner when I

stepped on the earth over an old well which the school house hadf"|

been built over and which had never been filled. Dirt had settled J

on the top and I could not see the cover. This is the well and

here I have remained ever since. During the day time I keep dirt

over the top of the cover to the well so that it will not be seen and

Dat night I go out and get what I can find to eat. I cannot escape i

f

the Englishman for he knows where he lost his plans and is guard- U

ing ever railroad in the vicinity. He has never been able to locate

me but he knows I am near the school house somewhere. He has

men in his hire at every railroad station that would instantly de-

Dtect me if I should attempt flight. I have been hiding here for

three months waiting for a chance to escape." U

As the man ceased talking he pulled a bundle from one corner,

out of which he took a short, queer looking tube. Then he began

talking again. "It was probably early morning when the ex-

plosion took place. You have been insensible all day. I haver

heard them at work removing the debris above. But I do not L!

want to be caught here for tonight I am going to make one last

attempt to get back to Germany with ray prize. Here is the radium

tube of which I spoke and I am now going to show you how it

works."

The boy sat in the corner speechless and watched this strange]

man. Turning the tube toward the mass above, a light began to

glow, shining over their prison. This grew brighter and brighter,

until both had to cover their eyes to save them from blindness.

Then the broken desks piled above began to crumble away before

the light like burnt paper. It was not long until a hole was made

^ to the clear air above and the man, replacing the tube, crawled up ^

the side of the well and disappeared, leaving- the student half dazed.

Later he crawled out too.

The school house was not badly damaged, When the workmencame the next morning to begin the repairing they found the boy,

whom everyone had given up for dead, sitting on the front step

and wondering how soon he would hear of the fall of Gibraltar.

I think I know my history well

For I have studied day and night,

So now just listen while I tell

And then vou will see if I am rigfht.to

We have studied from first to last,

Just how Columbus made the charge

And by the sleeping watchmen passed,

Across the Delaware on a barge.&'

It was in sixteen ninety two

When on a frosty Xmas night,

He showed to us what he could do

And Trenton took without a fight.•&

'

Then at the famous Bunker Hill

There where the noble Lincoln fell,

We see the daring charge, now still

Hearing Sherman say "War is hell."

Again our friend Stonewall we see,

As daring, brave, he stood his ground,

A very noble man was he,

Though dead at Bull Run he was found.

And well I know the Presidents too,

From Washington to Wooden-headAnd among them there is quite a few

But best of all of them is Ted.

Though this is all I tell you nowYou can see that I am not a fool

I know a lot I would allow

And I have learned it all in school.

BASKET BALL

m 3 C DC 3 C 30 HIS!]

Jnskef Jail

The Basket Ball career which the W. G. H. S. began in the

term of 13-11, has been continued this year with even greater

success. The team has played almost all of the fast High School

teams in Southwest Missouri and is proud of the fact that they

obtained a greater number of scores from the Springfield State

Norm il than any other High School t^am.

The forwards for the team were Osborne and G. McClure.

"Little Mac" was right there on sliding the ball to his men. Thevisiting teams were handicapped very much by his elusiveness and

ability to go by where the average player would have stopped.

Osborne was very much at home under the goal and often

saved the team from defeat by his skill in shooting baskets.

The guards were Wright and Edmonson . While Wright was not

noticeable as a fast player, he did excel in guarding his man. Ed-monson did not make "grand stand" plays but always managedto be in the right place at the right time.

The center man was Griffin, who played a fast, strong game,

being noted for his team work and cool headedness.

Several of the substitutes have shown ability. Among themMcLemore and L. Osborne who will probably fill the place of the

two Seniors of the team.

The Track season this year has been a disappointment. TheWalnut Grove team participated in two meets, the Greene county

and the Southwest Missouri.

The best showing- was made by the team in the Greene county

meet. Walnut Grove gained second place, taking 37 points, while

Ash Grove took first with 46 points.

Greater things were expected of the team in the SouthwestMissouri meet but at the last practice Griffin, our star man,sprained his ankle and was unable to compete. With the loss of

their captain and best athlete, the team gave up hope and failed to

make much of a showing in the last contest.

For the first time in its history W. G. H. S. has had a Tennisj

1

Team. Only one Tournament was held. This being with AshGrove when R. McLemore and T. Wright of W. G. met Short

and McKenzie of A. G. and R. Wright and Osborne of W. G. metComegys and Dalby of A. G. The former W. G. team wasvictorious but the latter was defeated, leaving the match a draw

jj

which was never settled. A match was set for a later day but A.

G. was unable to play on that day for some, cause, which we very

much regret. The '15- '16 team promises to be a good one andsome good matches are looked forward to.
