Salutatory • • • Viva Craddock T H E purpose of this book is t o give t o t h e patrons and pupils o f o u r public schools something b y w h i c h t h e y may remember the school as a whole, as * w e l l as our class. T o us i t seems fitting t h a t w e should dedicate nual t o a person most worthy and best k n o w n o f a l l connected w i t h t h i s institution. W e sincerely believe M r s . Sweeney t o b e unanimously considered as such because she has taught here so many years and has gained t h e respect o f all who k n o w her. H e r cordiality and pleasant smile has won f o r her the love of all her pupils, present and past. W e know that anyone with the character sesses must influence those with whom they come in contact. I t is true ence will, i n a measure, shape the lives of those who come w i t h i n its reach. And we would n o t forget what o u r other teachers have done for us. T h e y have, t o the best of their ability, cooperated in spurring us on to the greatest efforts which we were capable of making. W e , as graduates, feel the t r u t h o f ment for, as w e k n o w n o w, o u r teachers have gauged o u r possibilities and have found i n our natures that to which they could appeal, and, thereby, hold tion to our school work. Our work has been practical. I t is easily seen how, by the use of tus, we have been a b l e t o g e t a v i v i d conception o f theories a n d t r u t h s , which might otherwise have been vague and, perhaps, misunderstood. T h e study w i t h the help of the apparatus was made possible by the school board who amply supplied the necessary articles and, thereby, showed their interest in our educational progress. However, the members of the Board of Education are representatives of t h a t body o f people w h o pay taxes f o r the maintenance o f o u r p u b l i c s c h o o l . A n d among these taxpayers are t h e parents, w h o , w i t h m a n y a sacrifice on send their children t o school, and anxiously await the time when they can say that their boy or their girl has completed the high school course, and has reached a goal long anticipated by both. The pupil enters the school and gains much by his fellowship with mates. D u r i n g the first three years of our high school life we looked to were ahead o f u s ; a s Seniors w e were spurred onward b y the first glimpse goal, a n d , n o w that g o a l i s reached, w e feel as t h o u g h w e h a v e accomplished something. Looking into t h e future just a little, we know that our education w i l l prove to be o f great value. W e shall be able t o comprehend more of the world and its �mysteries; w e shall be able to associate w i t h learned men and be capable of getting a better conception of their ideas. W e have that, which, i f put to test, will earn us a livelihood a n d make us, so t o speak, independent of others. T h e n , too, i n this day and age o f o u r prosperous nation, a n advanced education is necessary to give us the standing among men, which our fathers and grandfathers possessed w i t h their meagre instruction, obtained from teachers whom we should n o w call incompetent. Thus, we see the value of our twelve years' w o r k and, when we start out for ourselves, we shall more vividly realize its worth to us. P e r h a p s , too, we can make it of value to others, f o r I am sure that i f we can convince some person that a good education is the all-important factor of a successful l i f e , w e shall arouse i n h i m a desire f o r knowledge. A n d , w h e n h e perceives that his greatest pleasure versing w i t h learned m e n o n subjects w i t h w h i c h h e has some acquaintance, h e will be glad that he made the effort to gain that knowledge. As Salutatorian, i n behalf of the class of 1910, I b r i n g you a happy greeting at this our commencement season. W e have labored earnestly and have endeavored to prove ourselves w o r t h y o f y o u r kindness toward us. W e w i s h t o express o u r gratitude t o those w h o have made o u r graduation a possibility. I t is our earnest wish that, during the years that follow, we may ever be conscious of this gratitude, for i t may serve as a n inspiration t o u s t o be helpful t o those w h o may struggle under the same diffinclties that we have met. T h e n , when we shall from life's great school, o u r commencement shall he the more glorious. �• • • • Board of Education . . . . Edward L . Wagoner Edward L .

N a September morn twelve years ago, when t h e birds were s i n g i n g and the k J s u n was shining, several small children made t h e i r w a y toward house f o r t h a t wonderful " f i r s t d a y o f s c h o o l , " toward w h i c h ' m i n d s had been turned w i t h great expectancy f o r some time. T h e r e were several of us girls, tidy i n clean w h i t e aprons, sunbonnets o n o u r heads, a book i n one hand and the other f a t fist pressed h a r d i n t o o u r apron pocket. went shyly up the broad steps, then i n t o the schoolroom and seated ourselves n a little community o f o u r own. T h e r e were the boys, too, whose sturdy nish ways clearly distinguished them as beginners; b u t they were not as shy o r as timid as we, for they looked and acted very unconcerned as t h e y trudged i n t o t h e room and were seated with the rest of us. We can well remember those first days at school, the friends we made, sons we learned, the games we played, how hard i t was t o be and keep still, h o w patient the teacher was and how she appeared, as well as many of her ways. W h a t a wonderful year i t was! W e had our love affairs, our quarrels, our reconciliations. We were angry i f anyone brought t h e teacher more apples t h a n w e d i d and we envied the boy who could get the most gum in his month at once. We tried t o d o everything t h e older pupils d i d and we were green w i t h envy when we looked at the reckless sixth graders. O h , would we ever, ever be twelve years old, and be able t o draw those wonderful maps of Africa? Y e a r by year we went on as the work grew harder and the lessons longer. S o m e days good lessons, some days poor, b u t going ahead slowly and surely. T h e years passed. W e reached the sixth grade, but i t wasn't half so soul-satisying as we had anticipated. W e now lifted our ambitious gaze t o t h e Senior class. H o w awe-inspiring was that magic word, " D i p l o m a ! " H o w perfect t o o u r prejudiced eves was t h e behavior o f t h e Seniors. T h e K i n g can do no w r o n g " we thought, and we longed for the happy time when we, too, could carelessly saunter up the street to the bers of the class of 1910. Discouragements came t h i c k a n d fast; a b r i g h t d a y encouraged, a d a r k one made our outlook gloomy; b u t still we pressed on toward the goal, and we are here today, the " T h i r t e e n " class of 1910. S o have w e builded o u r ship, staunch and strong enough, we hope i t to be to " l a u g h at a l l disaster, A n d with wave and w h i r l w i n d wrestle." �Today we launch our ship and our friends are w i t h us to break o n t h e p r o w o f our vessel the champagne bottle of their love and good wishes. W e leave port with sun shining, a smooth sea and our friends waving us " G o d speed." Tomorrow we will be " L i k e skips f a r o ff at sea, Outward and onward bouna are we; Before, hekind and al/ around, Ploats and swings the homson's haulier." Today the last cable which binds u s t o o u r h i g h school days is severed. B u t we c a m - w i t h u s o u r charts, compasses a n d o u r wireless and we know there are lighthouses to help us on our way. T h e n too, all around us are other crafts that will quickly respond to signals of distress. To m o r r o w we shall g o beyond the harbor bar and more will be expected of us as morrow by morrow the time sweeps by, and more must we do to make ourselves worthy of the esteem of others. A ship which has never sailed for the first time knows only of the land is leaving. W e know only t h e experiences of the Past; the Future is the unknown land toward which we journey. A s we leave the harbor and pass out into the sea of life, we w i l l notice a t f i r s t o n l y t i n y waves, b u t t h e longer we sail we will troughs become deeper and the crests higher. T h e troughs must come in order that we may meet and appreciate the following crests; y e t we must all steer with a steady purpose, else in some storm our b a r k g o under. I t is not the ripple on the surface that tries the make and material of a ship; i t is the storm, the h i g h winds and t h e waves which show them best of all. We are not all bound for the same harbor, but there are many toward which we may direct our course. O n e may steer h i s s h i p toward t h e p o r t o f Wealth and at last gain i t , b u t often w i t h l o n g deprivations and friends forsaken or betrayed, for the greed for wealth causes man, i n many instances, t o infringe upon t h e rights o f his fellows, and, as age advances, he enjoys no confidence and sometimes from them except the respect which wealth alone brings. H e may have forts which are denied t h e poorer, b u t w h a t are these compared t o t h e l o v e and trust o f many friends? W e recognize t h e f a c t t h a t one may become wealthy thru honest labor and so use his wealth t h a t t h e general interests o f mankind m a y b e furthered. H e who acquires wealth under such conditions will prove himself efactor in whatever society his lot may be cast. But let us consider another harbor. I t may be that of Fame. T o ous is the aim and desire of not a few in the present age. F a m e may be compared to a bubble which is soon to burst and fade away i n m i s t . F a m e is that by which others know us; i t may be one thing today, and the opposite tomorrow. A man may become as famous through an ignoble deed as b y one w h i c h i s virtuous. A n d for the sake of fame a man is oftentimes w i l l i n g t o sacrifice the principles on its altar. W e must even confess t h a t politics and literature, even religion and philantrophy are used as a means by which they may attract public attention. There i s s t i l l another p o r t w h i c h m a n y seek. I t i s the port of Usefulness. Each day's journey, i f we steer aright, may bring us nearer this port, and i t should be the duty of everyone to lead t h i s simple, helpful l i f e a n d extend the glad hand wherever it is needed; o r in the words of Sam Walter Foss, " I f you see a man i n woe, w a l k m g h t up a n d say V i e l a " �Yet how often this port is forgotten in the mad struggle for the Wealth o r Fame port or some other equally guiltless of true happiness. W h o can destroy the fact in a neighbor's eyes that we have helped him, i f we have done so? W e all wish to be remembered, and looking backward we remember the moments and the people, w h o by an encouraging word or act, have made o u r shipbuilding easier. L i k e w i s e , w i l l we not be remembered for little deeds of kindness if we perform them daily? It should be the d u t y o f everyone to make the practice of trying to one each d a y u n t i l i t m a y become second nature t o inspire and encourage those around us. ' T i s true we all desire a comfortable livelihood, b u t i f b y chance w e should become wealthy, there is much good w e m a y do with our wealth. T h e n let us lead t h i s helpful l i f e t h a t a t t h e close o f each day we may hear the soft w e l l done" of the inner voice, and, as w e grow older, enjoy the confidence and those about us. We w i l l meet many other ships on our journeys, some going our ways and some in others, and let us remember that a joyful h a i l f r o m a passing vessel ens a whole day's journey. So in whatever direction we may sail, we hope to be a credit to our friends and a success in life; a n d wherever w e steer, let u s be u p r i g h t and honest, strong t o grasp opportunity, pure i n heart and true to ourselves in motive and in deed, for i t has been said that " h e who is true to himself cannot be false to any m a n . " So, as the horizon, as far as w e can see, bounds o u r opportunities now, let us not be content with the lower deck, b u t climb to the bridge so that the view may be broadened and that we may catch a glimpse o f undreamed o f lands. T h e n let u s keep the harbor light in view and steer straight for the port of our ambitions. �• • • • The Juniors • • • Irene B u c k l e y was interested recently i n reading Ridpath's " H i s t o r y o f the W o r l d , " b u t was disappointed to find that i t made n o mention o f the members of lustrious Class o f 1911. I concluded, therefore, t o w r i t e a chapter ern History w i t h the suggestion t h a t i t b e appended. " D u r i n g t h e spring of 1906, w i t h jealous and envious eyes, they ( t h e present Juniors) watched the Seniors as they carelessly wandered up t h e stairs, grown sacred as the dividing line between the grades and the H i g h School, b u t in the fall of the same year, they themselves ascended those same steps with palpitating hearts, filled w i t h an something, they knew not what. B u t realization came when their ears are assailed by scathing and sarcastic remarks o n t h e i r infantile actions. T h e y s o o n settled down to the work in the eighth grade. In the fall of 1907, w e saw t h e g i r l s w i t h dresses lengthened several inches, the boys with long trousers, n o doubt in an endeavor to suit external appearance to the d i g n i t y o f r e a l h i g h school students. T h e y resumed t h e i r places in sembly room w i t h m a n y m o r e added to their number. L i k e all bashful freshmen, they hardly dared to move from their seats f o r fear o f making some mistake which would call f o r t h a smothered snicker from some of the other pupils who seemed to have nothing to do but watch them. The next year, l i k e a l l Sophomore years, proved uneventful w i t h the exception of the pleasure which, i n remembrance o f t h e year just past, they t o o k in comfiture o f t h e n e w Freshmen. A t t h e beginning of the next year with t h e Seniors. acquired t h e d i g n i t y o f b e i n g separated f r o m t h e Sophs a n d Freshies and the levity of the under-classmen in a room devoted entirely selves. W h e n t h e S e n i o r class began t o choose their class colors, they likewise awoke to the fact that they should have some way of distinguishing themselves from their under-classmen, and took, as colors, red and white, so striking a combination that i t took the solid Freshman some time to decide which were really Senior colors. Owing to the preference shown to the high dignitaries, who call themselves Seniors, their pennant has held second place, nevertheless, they are eagerly looking forward to the year 1911, when they will be the Seniors of the Quincy H i g h School.

Gentlemen o f the Board of Education: We thank you for your care and for the interest y o n have taken i n the welfare of those who have come here to school each year.

M a y you ever be able to look with feelings of satisfaction upon a l l ,vour efforts f o r ment of those who are enrolled upon t h e register of the school, and especially upon the class which is now about to leave. �Teachers: T h e time has come for us to take leave o f von, and w e frain f r o m expressing t h e deep sense o f obligation which rests upon us. W e have spent four important years of our lives under your care, and have received iag which forms a large p a r t o f the equipment for life; and we appreciate, i n some measure at least, how much we owe t o y o u r faithfulness. W e tremble as we leave von, f o r here w e have relied upon y o u r wisdom and guidance, and you have been willing to bestow it. N o w we must t h i n k for ourselves and be ever dependent upon our own knowledge. A n d n o w, i n t h e n a m e o f m y class, whose representative I am proud to be. I bid you farewell, w i t h the hope that y o u r memory o f us m a y b e as pleasant as ours shall always be of you. G o o d Bye. Pupils o f the I./lifer-gradual/11g Classes: T o d a y we leave you, and we leave the o l d School i n y o u r care. Y o u are t o w a l k those halls and climb those stairs when we have wandered away. Y o u w i l l still make the rooms r i n g with the cheers in which our voices have so often joined. Y o u are to have many funny happenings and quaint experiences in class rooms such as we have had, and these make u s t h e more interested i n y o u . W e d o n o t expect t o be long remembered by you. O u r places w i l l be taken. B u t we are glad t h a t w e leave i n o u r places strong-hearted boys and girls who love their school and w i l l stand u p stoutly for her when we are gone; g l a d t h a t w e leave pupils w h o w i l l appreciate the work of these, our much beloved teachers. I n t h e n e x t t w o o r three years, as one and another of us may come back to visit the school, i t w i l l be cheering to find some familiar now, schoolmates, the class of this year will soon separate from you, never again to be united i n the schoolrom; may prosperity and happiness attend you all. G o o d Bye. Classmates: T o you the final words o f farewell must be said. W e parting must come, b u t we tried to put i t from us and t h i n k of i t as next year, next term o r weeks away. W e w e r e n ' t ready t o have i t come so soon. W e have had the same routine each d a y, so t h a t w e h a d almost forgotten that there could be a change, t h a t i t d i d n o t g o o n this way forever. B u t now we have reached-a new phase i n life where each one m u s t stand f o r himself. T h e events o f mencement d a y a n d o f t h e past school days are to be remembered with pleasure, perhaps w i t h pride when w e have passed f a r down into the vale of years. A s the aged of today rehearse the scenes of their youth, so shall we revive the memories of our school days. T h e n , l i t t l e incidents, which seem n o w hardly worth the telling, will possess a deeper interest. O u r Senior year with its trials and its triumphs, will he an epoch in the career o f some o f us, as a year worth remembering by all of us. We cannot take leave o f those familiar walls a n d sunder the pleasant associations which have bound its together here without acknowledging the debt of gratitude we owe t o o u r school. W e have t o o little experience with the duties and ities of active life fully to understand a n d appreciate t h e value o f t h e intellectual and moral training we have received in t h i s place, but w e k n o w t h a t w e a r e t h e wiser and t h e better n o w f o r i t .

And n o w, w i t h w h a t wish m a y w e express the friendship and interest we feel for each other? I can w i s h n o t h i n g happier than t h a t , through our lives, shine a n d sorrow, there m a y remain w i t h i t s t h e consciousness of duty well done.

T h e same officers w e r e the beginning of the second year. S o m e decided to take another course, and two deaths occurred during the year 1909, so the class is now composed of twenty-one members—seven boys and fourteen girls. They chose a beautiful combination of orange and brown for their nant which helps to decorate the walls of the assembly room. The class spirit has been running high throughout t h e year. D u r i n g the winter they took a few enjoyable sleigh rides, at one time stopping for a few hours at the home of Allie Braun, where they were delightfully entertained. A s there is a poet among the members of the class, they have many class and song yells. T h e following selections are some of their favorites: Tune of '.You've Got :We Going Kid."

T h i s spirit is greatly appreciated as athletics are considered an important factor in the work of Ode to class of 1912: " T h e Sophomores have been with us these two years, And are each day growing smarter; They would have finished i f Before we Seniors had a starter.

" �History of the ( h i s s of ' 1 0 Hoy S. Baker S a member o f the Class o f 1910, I believe i t is m y duty to do my share of A t h e class work, and that the members may be correctly chronicled in song and story, I submit the following history. I shall first relate * c o n c e r n them as a whole: " W h e n the class entered the high school in the year 1905, it had a membership o f about forty, but w h e n the treadmill o f four years of high school work had ground out the material, w e found at ning of our Senior year only about one-third of the original number. O w i n g partly to its make-up and partly to the fact that it was never organized into a class till late in its Sophomore year, the Class of 1910 has not shown m u c h class spirit. O u t of the thirteen members over half are students who entered the Freshman class from rural schools. T h e individuals have a history made u p of events that seemed but trifling matters, but which hold deep places A very peaceable person is Edward Lampinan. E d . was born on a farm about three miles north of Onincy i n 1892. H e began his education in his fifth year little district schoolhouse near his home. H e r e he toiled eight years, after which he entered Quincy High School to be a member of the Class for 1910. F o u r high school work have fitted him for something better. T h e s e last four been spent in hard work, for notwithstanding the fact that he has been detained at home to help with the farm work during t h e spring terms, by d i n t o f hard work and special examinations he has mastered the full four years course and ranks high in his standings. H e particularly distinguished himself in the study of synonyms. Ed. always takes advantage, when spare moments come, to enjoy them. H e likes the sport of spearing suckers i n t h e creek near his home, and a reference to this subject serves to remind his friends of I will next take u p the history o f another member of the class, who, though smallest in stature, i s greatest i n knowledge. S h e is commonly called " S h o r t y. " She was born in Columbus, 0 . , in 1891, and began her education in a rural district. Later, she attended the school a t Allen, but longing for a more advanced course, entered Q. H . S. in 1905. D u r i n g her four years of high school work she has set a pace which none of her classmates have been able to equal, so with her ance with the Class of 1910 she, Clela H e m r y, represents t h e m as Valedictorian. "Shorty" always had a great liking for sports, taking an active part in games and distinguishing herself in both basket ball and horseback riding. The next individual of whom I am to give the history was born in the " Wi n d y City in 1892. H e r school work was somewhat broken up until she entered the sixth grade in the Quincy school in 1903. S h e was one of the number to enter the high school from the eighth grade. D u r i n g her four years of high school work, she has carried h e r work thru with considerable success. S h e has taken German and at the same time cultivated carefully a great love for candy. A s this may not be true of the other subjects of this article, I had better mention the name of Irene Buckley. �1 The history of Blanche Marshall may be summed up in a few words. S h e was born on a f a r m southeast o f Q u i n c y i n t h e y e a r 1891, and after spending fifteen years of her life among the clover blossoms and attending school i n the trict, she entered O. H . S. i n 1905. H e r h i g h school w o r k has met w i t h approval from the teachers. H e r kindly ways and gentle manners have won her many friends. The same year and the same locality saw the b i r t h o f another person who was to lead much the same kind of a life as that of Blanche. T h i s person was given the name of Nora, to which is appended the n a m e o f H a l l . D u r i n g h e r h i g h school course, Nora has conquered all problems with a ready mind, and has mastered them so completely that next Year she w i l l be teaching others what she knows. S h e has shown a great l i k i n g for books, which, perhaps, helps to account for the lack cidents which would make her past life known to a larger circle of people. The history that embraces the life o f Rae Pease w o u l d f i l l volumes, b u t would b e a n injustice t o devote m o r e space t o his history than that of the other members. I can only tell the most important events o f his l i f e . R a e was born i n 1892 in this place, and has, during his eighteen years of life, developed a knowledge peculiar to himself. I n his younger years i t was foreseen that he would acquire that knowledge, for he w a s k n o w n t o ask questions impossible f o r t h e venerable Mrs. Sweeney to answer. T h e bane of his life is in haying to put commas and " t h i n g s " in h i s compositions. T h i s i s t h e o n l y k i n d o f w o r k that he cannot turn off in a hurry. H e has taken active part in events t o o numerous t o mention. ing o n t h e c o n t r a r y side o f a n argument w o n h i m popularity i n h i s class. H e enjoyed himself best when at foot ball, his idea of base ball being "too soft a game." The history of Ada Brownell is limited t o territory w i t h i n s i g h t of house. S h e was born in the year 1892. S h e entered school in her fifth year and showed from the beginning that she would graduate w i t h honors. D u r i n g the last two years she has distinguished herself as a n a u t o driver. D u r i n g h e r h i g h school course she has w o n many friends, both i n and out of town. I t is my hope that she may have as good success in the future, b u t as we have a prophet i t is not my duty to speak of that. Another history t h a t m a y b e summed up in a few words is that of dock. S h e was born o n a farm n o r t h o f A l l e n i n the year 1892. I n that locality she spent her entire life until she entered O. H . S in 1905. H e r school record has been excellent, nearly equaling that of Clela Hemry, for Viva holds second place, representing us as class Salutatorian. The life of Mildred Dobson embraces a few events worthy of notice. S h e was born in 1891 on a farm north of Quincy. S h e at first went to a district later entered a lower grade in the Ouincy school.. I n a short time she returned t o the country and continued her work in the district school. S h e entered the Q. H . S. in 1905 and has been one of the stickers that make up the class of 1910. S h e has shown a good record in her school work, but her deportment has been very bad. Another member who has shown a low mark i n deportment is Hazel Forte. She was born in 1891 in Allen township. H e r school life until she entered Q. H . S. was broken tip. T h e Fort(e) has been engaged in many battles, her scraps taking with t h e M a i n ( e ) . S h e has blown imp the Main(e) many times, only to be (Confirmed After Freshman Article.) �O H. S.

S o o n after his birth his parents moved to a farm six miles south o f Q u i n c y. In 1901 they moved to Quincy, when he began his studies in the Quincy school b y entering the third grade. H i s career in school has n o t been t h a t o f a genius, b u t his record shows a mark to indicate ploughing thru t o the end. H e always stood at the head of his class in deportment. A l t h o u g h he was no great athlete, he enjoyed taking part in the athletics of the school and m a n y incidents connected w i t h t h e m will remain i n his memory.

I a m ruined! O h , w h a t w i l l m y family d o ? " H e sat there for some time without fully realizing what was going on about him. H e had waited in his office the greater p a r t o f almost trembling lest h e w o u l d receive t h e message telling him of his failure, and it had come at last. At noon, when he went home, he looked as i f fully ten years had been added to his age, for M r. D n i m m o n d was now stooped and his face had a worn and haggard look. A s he approached his home his wife did not recognize him at first, a cry of horror she ran to meet him to learn the cause o f h i s changed appearance, and upon learning i t , only replied, " D o n ' t w o r r y, W i l l i a m , i t may come o u t a l l r i g h t , " and together they walked into the house to talk the matter over.

On t h e o t h e r hand, a s Richard D r u m m o n d was returning home f r o m college and was nearing his journey's end he was radiant with joy to think that he was soon to be w i t h h i s parents and fiancee, l i t t l e dreaming o f the great calamity befallen them and that his dreams were to remain as dreams. B u t when he alighted from the train his attention was drawn to the call of the newsboys, who were crying, "Paper? A l l about the Drummond failure! P a p e r , Mr? P a p e r ? " A s he started to board a car, h e thought, " c a n i t be t h a t m y father has f a i l e d ? " ately purchased a paper and to his surprise he found i t was a l l t o o true.

He at once thought of Margaret and without delay went t o her home, but as she had learned o f their misfortune, Richard was relieved partly of the great burden that was weighing upon his mind. F o r , as he was now poor, it was entirely out of the question to think of marrying Margaret. S o Richard told her of his plans and they parted, thinking it would probably he the last that they would see each other. The following week the Drummond mansion and furnishings were sold tion.

As Richard was in reality penniless i t was an impossibility for him to r e t u r n to college and face his classmates in this position. I n s t e a d he decided to g o west t o earn a living. U p o n his arrival in one of the western states h e immediately found work i n a mine. A s there was such a radical change i n h i s position i t seemed a t first as i f he could not endure i t , b u t h e was determined. R i c h a r d to be such a worthy and brilliant gentleman that he was promoted many times, each promotion bringing an increase in salary. As the men w i t h whom he worked in the m i n e were n o t v e r y companionable, he would often go for a stroll among the mountains. O n e d a y w h i l e on one of his jaunts he found a little cottage sequestered in among t h e mountains. tigating he found that an old man lived there alone. T h e y made friends and f r o m then on Richard spent the greater part of his evenings with t h i s new acquaintance. One evening after Richard h a d l e f t t h e cottage the old man sat t h i n k i n g and unconsciously talking to himself, saying, " I wonder who he really is? R i c h a r d , yes that was the name, and he is a perfect p i c t u r e . " T h e hour was late and he retired for the night, b u t i t was spent i n a restless manner, and before t h e break of dawn he was taken suddenly i l l . The next night when Richard came to make his evening call he was very much concerned upon finding that the old man was seriously s i c k . H e found tion was such that he deemed i t advisable to stay all n i g h t w i t h him. R i c h a r d did all i n his power for him, b u t in the night he g r e w decidedly worse, a n d as h e f e l t that his time for this world was limited he told Richard that he had a secret that he wished to tell h i m before his death. H e tried several times during the night to tell him, b u t each time became unconscious and when he was revived the to be forgotten. A f t e r a while the old man seemed brighter and began his story by saying: " R i c h a r d , I know i t w i l l be a great shock t o y o u t o hear w h a t I have to say to you, but i t has been upon m y mind for some time and the time has now come when I feel that I must—tell— y o u . " W i t h o u t finishing his speech lie unconscious. R i c h a r d hastened a n d g a v e h i m a stimulant and after a tim.t he revived enough to continue his story. " R i c h a r d , you are my nephew." " N e p h e w ? " exclaimed Richard, " h o w can i t b e ? " " Y o u r father is m y brother and ago he and I had a dreadful quarrel, and we parted vowing never to see each other again; I came west and have lived the life of a hermit. O h ! i t was dreadful! I n the cupboard you w i l l find m y w i l l and east of the cottage, under that oak will find m y m o n e y. " H i s voice began to grow fainter and w i t h the words, your father's forgiveness, for I was to b l a m e , " he fell over dead. It was a great shock to Richard t o learn the facts of this secret. T h e next day he went to the oak tree as his uncle had told him and found the vast sum of money. Richard lost no time before starting for the east to see his parents, he had not heard in three years, f o r he was f a r from a n y communication.

If time and space would permit it would be interesting to trace the early history in detail, but such would require a volume in itself. T h e r e f o r e I will mention only the most important events in Quincy's history. BY the V ear 1B36 the population had increased so that it was �to form another township. A n act by the Legislature ( f o r in t h e previous October we had elected a Legislature and a Governor, though we were not admitted into the Union as a State until ' 3 7 ) , approved March 23, 1836, erected Q u i n c y water township. Q u i n c y , by that act, included Algansee and California, which were not made separate townships until 1838. In the petition to the Legislature asking for the formation o f a n e w township, the people suggested the name Springfield or Springville, but as another adopted that name, M r. H i r a m Alden, who was then a prominent citizen, suggested the name Quincy, w h i c h was adopted. S o m e have disputed as t o w h e t h e r M r. Alden named the place after Quincy, Mass., his former home, o r in h o n o r o f John Quincy Adams. In 1853 t h e o l d tavern o n t h e site of the Quincy House, one or two stores, a postoffice and a few dwelling houses were all Quincy could claim in the direction of village growth, but in the next few years a number of business and dwelling houses were erected.

Two years later, when i t was estimated there were four hundred people o n t h e village plot, the village was incorporated b y t h e county board o f supervisors, a n d from that time there has been a steady growth. The building of the depot at this point on t h e railroad was a m o s t i m p o r t a n t factor in the growth and progress of Quincy. I t was through t h e efforts o f Lucas Joseph and a few other prominent citizens that it was accomplished, as the railroad company wished to locate the station a few miles east on the county line. The Post Office was established i n 1837 w i t h E n o s G. Berry as the master.

M o s t important of all, a new spirit o f loyalty t o and e n t h u s i a s for forthe best high school standards has been k e p t foremost i n t h e thought of those striving f o r athletic honors. B y vote o f the young m e n themselves early i n the year i t was decided that no one could enter into athletic events without ing a high grade of scholarship. T h i s high standard has been faithfully lived up to during the year and has meant much for the development of a higher standard both in athletics and scholarship. I t has given us several splendid teams which we have been p r o u d t o send o u t a s representatives of o u r school. T h i s determination to make scholarship and athletic prowess go hand in hand has won u s many friends, both at home and with the other schools. I n appreciation of t h e fine w o r k various teams the school board recently had twenty lockers b u i l t i n t h e basement for the use of those doing athletic work. M o r e attention than ever before was paid to foot ball and base ball. T h e experience gained from the foot ball season should be of great help in rounding out a strong team t h e coining year. T h e honors i n basket ball have gone to the young ladies, who have devoted considerable attention to this increasingly popular sport. E s p e c i a l l y a w i n g the younger classes were fine teams developed. A series of class games among the girls was played, resulting i n the championship being secured b y the v e r y speedy Sophomore team. T h e base nall season just closed was a successful one in every w a y. T h e games played a t home were well attended and the people of Quincy showed an interest in the games which was deeply appreciated by the students. W i t h the help of the busidess men fine new uniforms were secured, the team presenting a natty appearance on the field. It is to be hoped that next year more attention w i l l be paid to track work, in which we can be proficient i f we once discover our possibilities. W i t h the made this year we are reasonably sure i n counting upon greater accomplishments for next year. �• • • • Foot I a I I • • • The athletic season of 1909-10 has been o n e o f t h e b e s t t h a t 0 .

The base ball season of the Quincy H i g h School f o r t h e past year has been the best for many years. T h e schedule of eight games was with high school teams, and the result was we broke even. P a l m a t e e r and Captain Baker have ing consistent ball throughout the year. J o h n s o n ' s catching has been h i g h class, while t h e r e s t o f t h e infield, composed o f Clizbe, Bowerman and played good ball most of the time and have improved i n their batting wonderfully.

T h e girls of the H i g h School have been very loyal i n their support of the team, being in attendance at every game. A n o t h e r source of encouragement was t h e a i d given us by D r.

Undoubtedly we young for granted much that should call forth our spoken thanks and our avowed gratitude. I t is only that we stop in the mad whirl of these modern days to consider our opportunities or take stock of All that our parents, our teachers, our community, our state are doing—have always been doing—we take just due.

For four —yet speedy as we look back upon their passing—we have worked for and looked forward to scenes in our career as pupils. W e realize that if it were not for you, we would have been unable this peak of success, and therefore we owe you a very deep debt of gratitude for the privileges which enjoye Have you ever stopped to think that Life is made up of doors? Doors of opportunity, Doors and of Failure, and many others. Four years ago we as Freshmen knocked timidly at the doors of tion. W e were admitted, and took up our duties and pleasures as they came to us. M a n y times four years we have knocked at other doors. T o some we have been admitted; to others we have some of us have chosen the wronv door, or perhaps certain doors to which we greatly desired access, to open in spite of There is, however, one door which we have all entered: this is the door marked "Education." W e received a certain amount of education by studying our books. B u t these four years should indeed a failure if we have not learned to put these lessons to pratical use—we should now be able to take our part in a civic life and no: vote merely as our great grandfathers did, but by free and unprejudiced the ideas and principles that will best benefit our Country. O u r qualifications should now be such that we an join in a social life in which we may aid in improving conditions in our city, state and nation; we shoul how to promote a pure home life, a clean church life, and countless activities for the betterment of which are behind many other doors to be opened ,mly for When we pass through this doorway of Life, we diall see stretching down the Hall of doors, each of which lead to some wo:k in the world to be done. O n e leads to higher education another to engineering or to teaching, and still there are many others. T h e privilege of entering one longs to each of us; but which shall it be? T o some, their pathway of Life will be clearly designated, but to others, it will be dim with difficulties and hardships. I n a few hours, this door will swing behind us, never to be opened again and we will be forced to depend upon our own resources, to choose our work in Life. passing out into your midst, we are joining you in a larger school of progress. W e are entering and pursuits, to become one of you in your social, lousiness and home Patents and friends, we are grateful to each and every one of you for we know that without you have been unable to enter these doors. First we thank our parents without whose strong, never failing aid and encouragement, we should have been compelled to give up long ago. Next we thank the Board for we have found you ever reedy and eager to supply the equipment needed for our education. We members of the Faculty for their readiness to help us over steep hills in the country of our lessons. but not least, we thank our classmates for teaching us what a beautiful and glorious thing Friendship is. Yo u have all helped us gain access to these doors and encouraged us to pass on unfalteringly from one Soon this door which we are now facing will close forever and we shall no longer be members of Quincy High School. B u t nevertheless, we will always keep a special corner reserved in our hearts for those friends and scenes with which we have come in contact the last And now before closing I want to repeat the words of a few moments ago; Welcome, one and all from the Class of 1927 of Quincy Helen ) — �THE ORIOLE PRESIDENT'S On a September day four short years ago, the class of 1927 entered High School with many hopes anticipations of the life that awaited them. Today, a few more than a third o f our former reached the goal of our childish ambition and are at the close of High School days. During these some of our youthful hopes have been realized, while some have been replaced by newer and Many are, perhaps wondering what this course has done for us. I t has not only given us a of subjects studied, but it has given us strength and ability resulting from the efforts put forth to obtain that knowledge. W i t h this training and discipline some of us will pursue college courses, while others will in the school of Members of the Junior Class: I n behalf of the Seniors who are soon to pass to the ranks of Alumni, I have the honor of presenting to you this cane, may it endow you with industry and application, with charity and love for your fellow-students, making you generous and liberal in your sympathies and sparing May it endow you with a spirit of fellowship, uniting you in bonds of harmony which admit no dissension or enmity, causing you each to be interested in the other's good. I t is our hope that this cane may bring you a large portion of love for old Quincy High. Live up to its teachings of justice, morality, obedience, Guard its good name and uphold its honor, that it may continue to send forth young men and to play a noble part on the stage of Life. M a y our cane invest you with esteem and love for the who labor so untiringly to develop you physically, morally, and mentally. T h e i r training forms a large part of your equipment for life and we trust that your remaining year may be one of happy associations If as a class we have made a good record or achieved worthily we hope that our cane may bring you measure of success; yea, even as Elisha asked for a double portion of the spirit of Elijah, so would to you, dear Juniors, a double portion of our pluck, pep, industry and other qualities which have aided us during the strenuous months of our Senior year. Take our cane, we pray, and pass on to the Goal Wilfred Myers RESPONSE BY JUNIOR PRESIDENT We, the class of '28 accept with great pleasure and deep feeling this cane, which as you have just said, emblem of character, integrity, and intelligence to the members of Quincy High School. I can assure we will always regard it with the greatest of precautions, and shall never cease in our struggles to principles for which Four hundred sons and daughters and even more, endowed by a bountiful providence and trained by ful foster mother, have gone forth from this High School into the world, to labor for their own ity's well being. A s we glance over their records we find that a majority of them were endowed with ings of justice, morality, obedience, square-dealing, love and consideration f o r their fellow men. Probably some of these traits were brought home to them at this very ceremony as fully as they are to us, of of We thank you for the honor of accepting this emblem from so worthy a class as you have proved May you all be as successful and happy in the school of life as you have been here in Next year we shall do all within our power at all times to be a proper and suitable example for classmates, thus enabling us to hand this cane on to our successors with even more pride than any done so Seniors, we thank you and do not say good-bye, but farewell until we Gladys Globensky 1 9 2 ' 7 — �THE ORIOLE CLASS HISTORY Four years ago, a group of sixty-four students entered high school; some with faltering some with a pretended jauntiness, some steadily determined to not mind the jeering calls of constantly rang in their ears. Somehow or other, the first three days passed, with no fatal accidents, first freshman class meeting was called . We wondered how we were supposed to act, but it did not long to elect our officers. Marjorie Shepard was elected as President; Lloyd Van Patten as Vice fred Myers as Treasurer; and Rolene Taber as Secretary. O u r class instructors were Miss Holland and Mrs. Coombs under whose supervision all of our class parties and other affairs were At the beginning of the Sophomore year, there were only fifty-three of the class left. B u t we felt that made up in importance for all we had lost in numbers. We went to our first class meeting with air of those who knew. We deliberated carefully upon our candidates for the class offices, and Rolene Taber as Pres.; Oliver Phelps as Vice. Pres; Marcine Smith as Treas; Mildred Lucas That year Miss Galley and Mr. Rice were appointed as class instructors. W e had three class parties, one of them being a farewell party for a member of our class. Miss Galley resigned at the end of the and was replaced by Miss Hicks. I n the spring came the annual teachers' reception, put on by the We made a great success of this social event, thanks to the supervision of Miss Hicks. W e parted time, feeling that we were indeed wise, to have gone alieady through two years of high school, and looking forward to the When the next September came, the Junior class numbered forty-one. T h a t year we chose as our President, Marian Oxertham as Vice. Pres.; Wilfred Myers as Treasurer, and Edward Hall tary. O u r class advisor was We began to realize that after all we knew very little, and that we must choose our vocations, and ously of how to prepare for them. As our knowledge increased, so our social affairs increased. W e merry parties. C n e party was the result of a contest between two sides, for the payment of class dues. T h e losing side treated the other side to a party. I n June, the juniors financed a camping trip, for the seniors and themselves, at CoMwater Lake. T h i s was the great event of the year, and was certainly worth the pended to make it a success. Then When we enrolled as Seniors, there were twenty-eight who had survived a l l three years, and won of seniors. W e chose our officers carefully for this, our last year o f high school. T h e y are, Pres. Wilfred Myers, Vice. Pres. Esther Duncan, Treas. Lucille Greene, Sec. Marian Oxenham. T h i s year we had the privilege of choosing our own advisor, and we chose Miss Bond, who had the year before proved her ability as instructor. Another lively contest resulted in a party given by the losing side in honor of the eral other parties were held during the year, all of them Then came the great event, the Senior Play. A committee, appointed by the President, selected the play, with the assistance of Miss Bond. " T h e Empty House,''was the one chosen, a three-act play, characters, eight girls and six boys. T h e cast worked hard at their parts, and the rest of the class did their bit, the whole resulting Only twenty-three are left to graduate in the class of twenty-seven.

A few years ago several young men from started on a long road which led them thru training camps, across the Atlantic and into the hell of mud and blood that was France at that time. Some of them retraced that road and are again at home. Others "In Flanders I have often wondered what impulse sent those boys there. Wa s it to save their country? N o , any one of them would have told you that the United States was in no immediate danger. Sifted to the bottom, the reason for the most of those boys going across the sea was, they believed in war. N o t in war to end war, but in war as an institution and a thing to be used in the settlement of all national differences. History teaches it, our best writers of classical literature advocate it, sociologists accept it as a necessity. W h y should in Our historys have have been from the very first, stone tablets down to our latest twentieth not a record of the advance and progress of civilization but the complete record of the war and its heroes. They do not show us the making of civilization, but the destruction of it. O u r students who study history in the schools of today, are not taught a critical method of study which would show them the cause of strength or weakness. They are taught the history of war; to worship its victors; and to hold its losers temp We are not alone in this. Every school, in every country on earth has this same condition. T h i n k of it! The horror and the pity of it. Boys and girls living in this age of enlightenment and free thinking, ing those old, old teachings, identical in theory and philosophy to those given four thousand Ask any boy or girl to list the five men who seem to them to be the greatest. W i l l they name our most famous playright, Luther the founder and pioneer o f all protestant religion, Bacon, forerunner o f modern science? N o ! Such men have no place in the teachings given to our children at the time when choosing their ideals for life; their lists will contain only the names of men who were either leaders in war or were made famous by war occurriag during But let us look for a while on other classes of Americans, the classes who have come in direct contact with war. Here we find that public opinion is changing. Those who lived thru those trying days of to nineteen eighteen, when every mail brought news of the death of some loved one, can never again belief that war is glorious and ennobling. Those few boys who came back suffering from gas, shellshock and the other horrors of modemn warfare, did not tell us the stories of bravery and daring we read 4 and fiction. They told us of crouching in the mud and water miles behind the lines directing their sharpnel and explosives at an unseen enemy miles away, by means of the mathematical precision of vation and signal system. I n the air service, common reports would have us believe that here at least knight erranty. W e believed that the airmen set out every morning seeking his enemy; met him in combat in mid-air and either returned a victor, or fell flames, a hero. Contrary to this belief, the men turned, tell us that when sent over the lines they were to engage another plane, only as a last resort, were to observe operations, and wireless back their reports to the gunners far behind the lines. they were sent out on a night raid, gliding high over enemy territory, with muffled exhaust, dropping rible gas and high explosive bombs, dealing out a horrible death alike to men, women and children. Then for all the world like a boy who has broken a window pane they turned tail in a headlong flight Glorious battle? Heroism? Valor? N o , a cold blooded contest between men of science as to who the most horrible and efficient dispenser of indiscriminate death. T H A T IS MODERN WARFARE. But we would try to excuse ourselves by saying, "we are not to blame, the war was forced upon us". " T h e monarchs of central Europe were to blame, their greed is the true cause." True, but where did they get their country? T h e y received i t i n early chldhood, not from heredity but through STUDYING HISTORY. YOUR CHILDREN ARE STUDYING I T I N THIS VERY SCHOOL.

H o w much better to tell the child of the men who founded our literature and language, than to drill him on the conquests of armies which, in razing a city, destroy more learning in one day than civilization can amass in centuries. W h y not teach him to. study the men who used the powers of science to lighten man's burden, instead of the demons science only to maim and destroy? Shouldn't we as citizens of today, pass on to be proud?

Esther Duncan We have a real treat in store for you this afternoon. O u r program is somewhat out of the ordinary but sure that you will enjoy it. We're going to take a little glimpse into the future this afternoon, and I must ask you to use your imagination a little. Just imagine that this is the year 1942. A r e you Here we go! O n the 15th day of June, 1927, just fifteen years ago, twenty-three Seniors journeyed this very institution, seeking to make their way in the world to find what Providence had in store for few days ago I came across a copy of the "Oriole" the Annual published by the class of '27, of which I am a member. A s I looked through it I came upon the pictures of my classmates, and at once my back to the good High School days when we were together both in work and in play. I thought first activities, the Field Days, the plays, the parties, the operettas, the various organizations and the like, and it upon myself to write to these old classmates and see how the world was using them, and as you will of them have climbed to the highest pinnacles, and others are rapidly climbing toward the heights of success. I asked them to reply to this station so that we might have these letters to read at our opening program, as a kind of an anniversary celebration of the event which took place fifteen years ago.

Jones, known as "Dick" to his friends, ran a locomotive for fifty years, then retired painting pictures. Imagine the surprise of his friends. Some laughed at it as an impossibility. N o w, not laughing. I n ten years, "Dick" Jones has painted over five hundred pictures, depicting scenes which he retained in his mind, from his railroad experiences. When he ran a locomotive the desire to be an artist was in him. I t remained and now that wish is accomplished. Truly this is a striking, modern-day example of which our class has chosen, "We finish to begin." Ephriam Jones finished his railroad career to Everywhere about us we may observe the carrying out of our motto. I t is true in schooling, in science, in nature, and even in Never can education be finished in one lifetime. W e may believe at times that we have attained have completed some subject. B u t time disillusions us and we realize that it is only the edge completed. This basic material must be mastered before we are capable of beginning the edge offered us. F o r it is impossible to write a theme until we learn the elements of grammar and the rules of composition. Problems in simple arithmetic can not be worked until we learn the four subtraction, multiplication, and division. History presents many examples of those who finished school only to begin. T o my mind the thought o f Abraham Lincoln speedily comes. Leaving school after a few months of inconsistent attendance, he knew as much as any frontier teacher. H i s schooling was finished. Y e t he was not content, and continued his fascinated study of English grammar to become the greatest of ers. Eastern college professors followed Lincoln from place to place, taking notes on his speeches might bring to their students something of the genius of Lincoln. L i k e Lincoln all great men, whether they have much schooling or very little, finish school to begin studying, working and accomplishing One of the greatest fields in which this theory reigns is that of science. A n invention is made, then improved. I n 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. A t that time how awed to even talk to their nearby neighbors. N o w this miracle has been improved to Trans-Atlantic by means of telephone and wireless. Thus in all lines of science, one stage is completed only to Nature, too, if we allow, will teach us this lesson. Even plant life finished only to begin again. dying down in the fall, drops its seeds in the ground. T h e next spring a plant comes up and the soms again. Each year when the leaves fall, the trees seem to die, but the next spring their life with the bursting of their buds. W e may take any example we wish; from the simple radish to the all finish to begin. N o t only do plants complete one summers existence to begin anew the next spring completed prcduct by the aid of greater power begins a new phase of life. Luther Burbank produced from thz finished lemon and orange the new grape fruit. Probably, if he had lived his dream of a seedless would have been attained. Thus all nature changes but lives on forever. I n this way Nature teaches us the greatest truth. F o r we learn from the flowers that there is no death. W e learn from Nature the law life For what is true of Nature is true of the human race. Cne generation finishes their work and the ation begins. Each individual finishes one task to begin another. Likewise we finish this life to enter one of which we know little. Y e t we are certain of its existence because of the teachings of Nature and of the Great Creator. T o be truly prepared at the finish of our earthly existence, may we live such a life that we will not fear Death, realizing that it is only another phase of our motto, "We finish to begin-.

What a relief it was to those who were waiting side, for the news of loved ones who were abroad, to hear that the daily slaughter had at last Guns which had not been cool for weeks, were stilled, the erstwhile crowded air was empty, save for flight of crows; infantrymen rested and smoked in the sun where but yesterday the exposure of even a met with a sniper's bullet.

She had taught him always to things, to learn to chose the good things in life and to always he a little gentleman. I t was how the mind of a ten year old boy had absorbed I do not know how he happened to be called "Chick" for his real name was James Mathew it was because of the likeness his golden ringlets had to a little fluffy yellow chicken.

I t was very foggy and looked as if it might rain any minute. H e picked up his empty paper bag and sat down in a door way. H e only a few minutes when he heard voices. H e peeked around the corner of the door way and about from him were two men. A t first he could only hear a mumble—then the words came plainer. O n e he caught them and their meaning. " M r .

H e couldn't be seen because of the dense fog and the dimly lighted street. When the corner he began to run. H o w well he knew these streets that had been his only home for the last two weeks. H e knew, too, where Mr. Wentworth lived because he had delivered papers there. I t seemed feet could not go fast enough.

H e had understood correctly and, on Now he was coming to the wider streets, just one more block and he would be there. There were a cars passing. When would he be able to cross? H e would try. H e had to cross that street. H e would wait for that one car—then across. T h e car passed and out he ran into the street. Another car that not noticed in his excitement was coming from the other direction. I t struck him and threw him to the curb in front of Mr. Wentworth's home. T h e driver stopped and asked him if he was hurt. Little Chick said "no" and the car drove away. H e got to his feet--everything went black before him but he wouldn't give up. H e slowly crawled up the steps of the beautiful white house, reached the door and rang the bell. O h ! how ached! Wo u l d they never answer the bell! Just then the great door opened and a man of about stood in the door way. H e asked what he wanted.

I t was a large brilliantly lighted house. Evidently a party was in progress for there was of music and laughter "Mary, I'm afraid to knock, we may be kidnapped or killed or most anything," "So am I," she answered," but I'm afraid to So hand in hand they mounted the steps and knocked timidly. A jolly motherly woman came to "Oh yes, yes," she said, peering over her glasses. "Yes, you are the girls. " Wa i t a As she turned, Mary's over strung nerves snapped.

" Yo u girls go to that house or you'll be sorry. don't tell anyone where you are going or why." Then holding their gaze with his own, he reached behind a door and brought out a box.

Happily, due to the disagreeable weather, few were abroad. Finally they came to the last glimmering street light and saw the first grotesque rocks, which gave the name Boulder Lane.

T h e mist was now falling more heavily, and the wind sighed through the trees with lonesome sound. I t was pitch dark and the girls could only feel their way along the broken rough path. T h z way seemed endless and the box grew steadily heavier as by magic. A t last the old house loomed up tk rift in the clouds came just then, and the moon peeped through, shedding a ghostly light over place. T h e door sagging forlornly and the two windows on either side, wet with rain, gave the appearance aged sorrowful old crone. M a r y the first to break the "Peggy, let's just set the box down here and run as fast as we can, back home," "All right," They placed the box on the rickety porch and broke into "Oh, ho, not so fast," said the now familiar deep voice and in a trice the girls found themselves bourne away through the night, whither they knew not. For a minute Mary lay quite still, then she began to kick and squirm with all Peggy on the other hand was puzzled. Something seemed familiar in that voice and the carriage of who had spoken. Suddenly the girls found themselves before a lighted house into which they were carried. A t first they were dazed, then as their eyes grew accustomed to the brilliant light, they found into a ring of their friends "Why?—How?—What?" "What are you doing here and why did you bring us here in this awful fashion?" sobbed Mary. "Oh please don't be mad with us," begged another girl. Turning, Peggy saw a tall young man with the evil leering mask in his hand. " O h , so i t was cried, her eyes flashing angrily.

S o he said, "I will take my gun and go hunting in the fields back of the barn. Perhaps I will go as far as the creek and I may see So he shouldered his gun manfully and set out. H o w he wished that he could see something to shoot! To be sure there were the birds—robins, bluebirds, meadow larks and wrens. B u t they seemed so happy so sweetly that it seemed a pity to shoot them. A rabbit scampered across his path with his little cotton tail bobbing at every jump and a red squirrel ran chattering up a big oak. - B u t , " thought Billy, can shoot a rabbit or a squirrel. They are so common." Billy was after larger game. H e would never der on a rabbit or a squirrel. The sun's rays were so scorching and Billy got so warm walking that, when he arrived at the creek, he would lie down and rest a little while. How cool it was under the trees and how still it seemed. Not was heard except the twittering of the birds in the trees, the babbling of the brook over the stones and ling of the sheep bell in the Billy thought if he lay very quiet perhaps a bear would come out of the woods. H o w he wished Wouldn't he love to kill Hark! W h a t was that? A twig snapped and then another. T h e n Billy saw a brown head the bushes and two bright eyes looked around. Then a big body came lumbering It was Billy's heart beat fast and he trembled so that he could hardly raise his gun to his shoulder. B u t he was not afraid. O h , no! I t was just the chance he was waiting for. H e pulled the trigger and shot once—twice. B u t bruin only growled and stood on his hind legs. Another shot! Bang! T h e big beast was coming him. H e was almost "Oh! O h ! Help! Help!" yelled Billy. A n d as he yelled he awoke with a start and sat up, for he asleep on the cool mossy bank. A n d there was no bear in sight.

S h e seemed for some reason or other when I told her I was fifteen and in the sixth grade, but I think that's doing pretty good and the folks are real proud of me. I expect I did act kinda bashful, but Ma says I'm getting over it and thinks I'll be still better of it Well, when the other kids got there she asked them the same questions she did me and told us we had to have and then said we might go home for that day. I just got my new Physiology— what you call it and I'll bet it'll be awful hard and she'll probably be cross too. I ' m going to use Phoebe's old Arithmetic 'cause Ma says us kids can't all have new books every year for money's too scarce for here WED.

I t is Hallowe'en. Barbara Ferguson has been cause her best friend has failed to appear, thus breaking a college vow that the two should always on this mystic day. To m , anxious to outline the plot of his drama, gathers the family around him, and finished his first sentence, "Well, it begins like this—" when the doorbell rings and a mysterious her appearance, with a story of a struggle with bandits at the entrance of the adjoining house. A t of two lights outside she leaves abruptly. Later, a visit from Ralph Overton, a young journalist friend of Barbara, and the sensational entry of Peggy disguised as a Hallowe'en witch, lead up to sion of the disappearance of Anthony Allison, a wealthy young fellow whose home is in the city. Ralph, always eager for a good story, advances the theory that Anthony's only relative, a stepdoes not quite "belong," may have had something to do with the affair. H e adds that he hoped, through a former member of his staff who had obtained the position o f secretary with Mrs. Allison, to learn o f any suspicious actions in the household, and regrets the necessary departure from the city of the bara, who has just lost her position, begs to be substituted for the secretary. Tom and Ralph object; who knows Mrs. Allison, volunteers to speak for Barbara, and eventually secures the place After her guests leave, Barbara has a queer experience. A s she idly gazes into the mirror which lowe'en witch has left, she sees the reflection of a gruesome figure crossing a plank which has been laid from the window of the opposite house to that of the Ferguson apartment. T h e figure proves to be a and exhausted man who shows every evidence of a struggle, and who is, unquestionably, a gentleman. for a moment, and when Barbara leaves the room he hastily scribbles a note, places it with a ring upon ble and staggers from the house. A s Barbara, returning, stands bewildered, she glances at the mediately, it flashes upon her that the unknown visitor may be the missing Anthony Allison. T h e in the exploration of the house next door, the stranger is found unconscious, and for two days Barbara younger brother and sister, Larry and Fredericka, care for him, finding that his memory is At this point Barbara, who has become Mrs. Allison's secretary, is met with the astonishing news thony Allison has returned, having been at a hunting lodge, and confirming the suspicion that the Allison. Fredericka brings the news that the unknown patient has gone. T h e returned Anthony ferent in many ways. B u t not until Fredericka makes the discovery that he is not the man to whom given aid, is there a suspicion of an imposter. Complications follow. T h e mystery is solved by the covery that Mrs. Allison, tht step-mother, whose first husband had been a twin brother of Anthony's whose son, also called Anthony, is an exact likeness of his cousin, is boldly attempting to substitute son for the heir and to effect the real Anthony's removal. O n account of the likeness of the two, Mrs. Allison had never revealed the fact of her own son's existence, and the plan might have been successful had not Anthony escaped his captors, seized his substitute, asserted his rights and proved his identity before it late. T h e scheming step-mother, the son and his wife—who proves to be the mysterious visitor at apartment—quietly leave the city. A n d what began so excitedly on Hallowe'en ends happily as Barbara, again gazing in the mirror, finds there Anthony's And just as you think it is ended, back you go to the very point where Tom begins his story.

Therefore, b y a system o f my own I have succeeded i n collecting these items together t o p u t on record for future reference. F o r Class so illustrious as this Class of 1928 cannot fail to be an example gence, industry and general good behavior to those following. T h r o u g h o u r Secret Service i n general this report was prepared. T h e r e f o r e I am not responsible for any thrilling facts disclosed. The Class enrollment 23. I t is not necessary to read the names o f the members as none o f them have forgotten that, not even their middle name. Average age is 1812 years. A v e r a g e height is 5 feet 6 inches. Average weight 135 pounds. Now in order to understand the unusual brilliancy o f this Class mention must be made of our ancestors. As a Class we recognize Adam and Eve as o u r very very great-grand parents. A m o n g the most noted ancestors are Lincoln. Cicero, Napoleon, John Paul Jones, Washington. Robinson Crusoe, der the Great, St. Patrick, Virginia Dare and the Emperor o f Germany. S i r Robert Hendrick commonly called -Bob," claims Vi r g i l as one o f his remote grandfathers, which n o doubt accounts f o r his skill i n translating that relatives masterpiece - T h e Aeneid," and f o r his endeavor to be as much like the pious Aenas as possible. S o m e trace their ancestry to Ireland, some to the Teutonic, others to Ionia. ing lost track of her family tree can trace her ancestry only to Hodunk and Ona to Southeast Butler. A l l realize however i f the missing links were supplied o u r ancestry would date back to the Ionian race of the jungles. N o marriages are reported, and, so far only one engagement. T h i s does not include gagements. H o w e v e r we all are living i n hope, except H a r r y VanNasdale who regards a mother-in-law a dangerous personage. Every girl o f the Class is honorary member of - T h e Royal Order o f D o Nothing- a n d t h e boys are charter members o f the -United Brotherhood o f Loafers.- G w e n d o l y n Safford belongs t o the ers Club- and Harry VanNasdale is president o f the -Hayseed Union." Taking the Class as a whole we are well represented in the field o f Athletics. T h e girls delight i n preparing lunch f o r the boys on Field Day as its a good chance t o show their ability ability to cook. M o s t of the boys favor cards but Clarence's D a d w o n ' t l e t h i m p l a y anything except Flinch and I agree there are other things more profitable. E r n e s t ' s favorite pastime is that is not his own hands. Eloise's is talking while I enjoy thinking just thinking. LeMoyne's might be dish washing. Donald's studying, and Gladys Globensky likes best of all EATING. T h e theater would be the most popular form of amusement i f i t were not f o r one serious objection,—the price. The members of the class had several reasons for attending Q . H . S. S o m e o f t h e more important were, to get out of work at home, to have a good time, to study geometry and Latin, through suasion and f o r the benefit o f the school, sad t o say, there are a few in the Class who don't why they attended High School. M o s t o f o u r loved ones expect t o go on t o school. R u t h expects t o continue her education a t the Kindergarten next winter. G l a d y s Marquart w i l l t a k e a post-graduate course in domestic science in her Mother's kitchen. A l i c e was too modest to give a good opinion self which is but one o f her personal weaknesses. L e n a ' s weakness is study although few people know it and Mary Esther does like to sleep, i t just can't be helped. B e r n i c e wants to marry a Millionaire or be a Prima Donna, i t makes no difference which. W e expect to find Clara teaching in the Redor some other favorite. Genevieve and Maybelle want t o be Latin teachers, w e extend sympathy t o their pupils. E v e l y n is expected t o do housework i n a family o f two. W h i l e Emalene's highest aim i s to starve and as she is going to be a "kitchen mechanic" o f course she will succeed. L i m i t e d vents me from giving you any more facts regarding this Class. Considering o u r many sterling qualities our success is quite assured, and each one bids fair t o carve f o r himself a splendid future. And when our history has become a milestone in the history o f Quincy H i g h School m a y t h e future classes follow our example and leave behind as good a record Oliver Gordon 19 Page �THE ORIOLE Class What's t h e d a t e t o d a y ?

T h e bers and alumnae came dressed as Roman senators and matrons, while the initiates were clad as slaves. After a short business meeting each initiate demonstrated h e r abilities proving whether o r n o t she was worthy of becoming a member. Margaret Smith gave a Roman dance. A song "Integer Vitae" was sung by Mildred Moore, carelly and Florence Shumaker. A dialogue was given in Latin by Maxine Wilcox, Viva Weatherwax and Vyrna Rae Taylor. Each initiate was given a favor emblematic o f the organization. After the delightful program the initiates were received and united together as members of the club. Another interesting meeting was held A p r i l 26, 1928, at Mildred Moore's home. W e went after school. After reaching there we played a few games and then ate our potluck supper. W e had much fun while eating A business meeting was held after which we had a program as follows: Caesar's personal appearance, given b y Florence Shumaker, which was interesting. M a y b e I l e Ta y l o r compared our modern warfare with the ancient. W e found o u t that o u r warfare is quite ancient. T h e poem, " T h e Roman of Old," was spoken b y Jane Gottschalk. S h e also did very well. ing and Genevieve Van A t t a debated on the subject o f Caesar i n Gaul. I t was resolved that Caesar was justified in subduing the Gauls. Genevieve took the affirmative side and Helen the negative. T h i s first debate we have ever had in Latin Club so i t m ide i t very interesting. O u r teacher, Miss Rath, told us about o u r English forefathers the way Caesar described them. T h i s was quite a long subject and i t takes knowledge to be able to do it. V i v a Weatherwax, Maxine Wilcox and Mildred Moore gave logue on the death of Caesar. L i k e the debate the dialogue was the first we have ever had. For entertainment we had a game where the pupils guessed advertisements pertaining t o Latin. W e all voted i t a very good time. SODALITAS L AT I N A S tudents are we. always sincere.
