The Garden of the Class’19
Upon arriving in Albia, after an absence of a year and a half, Mr. Wygant was
met by his many friends, among whom were some of the students of Albia High. He
immediately asked concerning the progress of the Class of ’19. He was accompanied
by his old friend. Mr. Kies, to the Garden of the Class of ’19, to observe their work
and development, and this is the Garden as he saw it:
“First, I saw many busy gardeners, and these I found to be the Class of ’19. Then
I observed the four massive walls which surrounded the garden : the Wall of Discre-
tion, which was presided over by Grace Liddicoat; the Wall of Knowledge, covered
with climbing moss, tended by Margaret Mowrer; the Wall of High Ideals, on
which Charlotte Anderson kept guard; and last the Wall of Clean Character, on
which Lois Drew sedately stood. These walls represented the aims of the Class of ’19.
On entering the garden, 1 noticed the Gate of Greatness, made of gold bars, studded
with diamonds, thru which the boy and girl athletes entered and continued their
journey down the gravel Path of Loyalty, which was stuccoed with words of praise
and bits of cheer. 1 followed them to the end of the path, and there I saw them
enter the glorious Boat of Honor. Marcia Johnson and Wendell Smith, captains
of the boat, took the Oars of Faithfulness and rowed down the Stream of Success.
I stood on the shore and saw this boat with its jolly crew gliding along on successful
athletic tours. As 1 followed the boat down the stream, my attention was attracted
by a quaint rustic bridge overhanging the stream. I found this bridge to be the
favorite resort of Wendell Smith and Mildred Mercer, who spent most of their time
in day dreams.
“My attention was then turned to the center of the garden, where the Pool of
Idleness, with its slow, sparkling waters, glittered in the sunlight. Many were seen
visiting this pool. Above it was a brilliant light, tended by John Clifton. The
colossal rays of this bright light often shown down upon the idlers who visited this
pool and threw Rays of Shame upon them.
“Near this pool I noticed a beautiful arbor, with green vines twining up the side.
It was made of white pearl, decorated with genuine rubies. This was a wonderfid
place and it seemed much more interesting to me when I saw Frances Duncan and
Glenn Hartsuck seated under this lovely bower. It soon came to my mind that this
was the Arbor of Love, and that Miss Blanche was carefully supervising them. Many
birds (who were directed by the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs) were singing forth
with melodious tunes, ‘Love’s Old Sweet Song’.
“Just opposite this I saw a bench upon which Pauline Holsclaw was sitting. She
sat erect and did not seem to notice me or anyone else in the garden. My friend told
me that this seat which she occupied was the Haughty Bench. On another bench,
which I learned to be the Exotic Bench, were Lola Cornford, Lawrence Barnes and
Blanche Combs and Earl Evans. They seemed to be in a great discussion. When I
approached them I soon found out that they were arguing as to who was the best basket
ball player. I passed on and left the argument, for Earl to decide, as he seemed to he
the best man.
“1 next came to a certain place in the garden where many were planting flower
beds. Some very beautiful beds were being made. Dorothy Dcskin, Nellie Grimes
and Mabel Gray were planting Touch-Me-Nots. Rex Long and Adrienne Alford
seemed to be making a gorgeous flower bed. I said, ‘Good, children, what might you
be planting?’ Rex answered, ‘We are planting Forget-Me-Nots’. I thought, well,
this is no place for me and 1 journeyed on. Maisy Griffin and Katherine Frew were
planning out a spot for a garden. This was in the shape of a heart. Katherine told
me that they were planting Bleeding-Hearts because they suited them best and always
was their favorite flower. Homer Miller was planting Four-o’clocks. Mr. Kies
told me that this well applied to Homer, because his seventh periods were always
four-o’clocks. Marcia Johnson was planting Jack-in-the-Pulpits, and Mildred Stocker
and Blanche Teitel were planting Roses. 1 don’t know whether they were raising
them to use for themselves or to aid some druggist.
“In the midst of the flower garden, a small, thinly-branched tree stood. The tree
was of a beautiful hue of green. I knew at once that this was the T ree of Timid-
ity, for underneath its shade I saw Anastasia Logan, Ethel McKissick, Della
Mahon, Genevieve Williams, Bernice Pascoe and Josephine White.
“In another corner of the garden, opposite the Fountain of Hardships, many were
planting vegetables. Harold Neff was busily working and I asked him what he was
planting. He hesitated for a moment, and then at last he managed to say he was
planting a Gum Tree. He said that Gum Trees were always his favorites, and Mr.
Kies seemed to agree with him. Francis Reynolds was industriously planting cabbage
heads, while Martin Sheehan was trying to keep the Irish eyes of the Potatoes from
smiling. Harry Whimpey was about ten feet from him and I heard him say, ‘Come
on over, Martin, and help me sow these Wild Oats.’ Last, but not least in this
particular spot of the garden, I saw Claude Stout, who was ploughing away, getting
ready to plant a Prune Tree.
I was tired by this time, and Mr. Kies said we might go over and rest under the
Tree of Beauty. Opon reaching this tree, we found Gladys O’Connor and Mabel
Crowell dressing their hair. 'While sitting there, my attention was turned to an
artistic Fountain of Wit, which was kept up in fine shape by Lawrence Falvey and
Wilbur White. We soon were rested and we started again to see if we might see
some more of my old high school friends. As 1 passed the Gate of Intelligence, be-
hold, a small girl entered whom 1 recognized as Opal Bowdre. Behind her, Edwina
Walker came and immediately took the path that led to the Fountain of Incessant
Speech. As she reached this place, Glenn Hartsuck was seen also approaching
the fountain. I told Mr. Kies that I had heard many duets, but never before had I
heard one like that which they rendered. It sounded like a full chorus.
As I passed the Arbor of Love again, I noticed a Sun Dial fastened to the side of the
arbor. Arthur Griffin was carefully watching it. Mr. Kies said to me, “ 1 he
teachers all say, ‘If Arthur didn’t have that sun dial, I don’t believe he ever would
get to class in time’.”
We passed the Gate of Willingness and soon came to the last gate. This, I was
told, was the Gate of Difficulty. 1 noticed two paths that led to this gate, one which
was very level, was called the Path of Many, and it led to the Pool of Idleness, while
the other was a rough, rocky road, called the Path of Few, and it led to the Fountain
of Ambition. AI any large stones were in this path. The largest ones, which the
people had to overcome before they reach the Fountain of Ambition, were Mathematics,
Latin, and Shorthand. Jo Courtney was trying her best to roll the stone of shorthand
along and was slowly succeeding in her task. Ethel Angel had rolled these stones
away and had finally reached the Fountain of Ambition and was carefully guarding
it. so that no one who was not deserving should enter or visit this place.
Mr. Kies told me that we had seen everything that was to be seen, so we left this
wonderfid garden. 1 bade my friends all good-bye and told them that I hoped that
they woidd all have a chance to take a ride in the Boat of Honor, down the Stream
of Success.
I told Mr. Kies that I had been to many interesting places, but never before had
I visited one so interesting as the Garden of the Class of Nineteen. I was well
pleased with the progress and success of the Class of Nineteen.

To My Seniors
1
There, little folks, don’t cry;
You’ve trouble to bear, I know ;
But the whirl and maze
Of your High School days,
Will soon be those of the past
But you’ll think sometimes,
AVith sighs and smiles,
Of the days in dear old Albia High.
II
There, little folks, don’t fret,
You’ll some of you be suffragettes,
And doctors, and lawyers, and merchants, and warriors,
And maybe some scholars, too.
Even tho’ we are miles away,
Even tho’ we are there to stay,
I’ll think with a smile,
That will last all the while,
Of the days spent in old Albia High.

Sophomore Class History
One bright autumn morning, in the year of 1917, there was launched on the Sea
ol Life a unique ship, bound for the port of Know ledge. '1'hc ship appeared to be
small and frail and some spectators’ glances betrayed doubt of its stability, but she has
proved her worth.
She is manned by a crew of inexperienced youths and maidens. Among them are
many famous in athletics and scholarship; others destined to become great orators,
brill’ant statesmen, prominent politicians and able leaders of men. All are striving
for the Goal of Success. Great and mighty have been the battles fought by this gal-
lant crew whose invincible courage has never failed. During half the long voyage,
this ship weathered the storms beaten by mighty South-Westers of Faculty Criticism,
threatened by the invisible rocks of Failure hidden from view by a few feet of water,
waiting cruelly for all ships that come their way. Her courageous and efficient pilots
guided her home safely through the dark and dangerous narrows of Discouragement
and over the shoals of Distress. Behold her now, as she safely rides over the waves
of Difficulty. Haughtily she swings on the breeze and suddenly the sun catches the
gleam of the letters, “A. H. S., ’21,” printed in Green and Gold painted on her prow.

Freshman Class History
One upon a time there was a city in Iowa, called Albia. In this city there was a
large and wonderful building, called the Albia High School. On September the third,
nineteen hundred and eighteen, a remarkable change began to take place in this build-
ing. A horde of creatures who had before this been called “Greenhorns”, entered
high school. They took the place by storm. Never before had the school witnessed
such a scene as on this day. No chapel tickets were sold, and no admits were given
to “Freshies” who had lost their class rooms.
Soon after this time a terrible epidemic broke out, and Albia High School closed for
about six weeks. When the “Hu” was over, or was thought to be over, the “Freshies”
were delighted to hear that school would start again. They went to bed early the
night before, and the next morning woke up with the sound of bells in their ears.
That day there was no school, for the war was over. “Freshies” figured prominently
in the events of the day. But the disappointment of disappointments for them—no
more school for another week !
Then came the happy day when school did begin. It was then that the “Freshies”
played basket ball that astonished all Albia. They deserved “A’s”, though they cannot
get them.
Soon after this, the “Freshies” burned the midnight oil to get ready for semester
exams., and just when they thought they knew more than any one else in Albia,
Lundy made the announcement that there would be no semester exams. But the
“Freshies” did not care, and their average showed that this study made them ahead
of all the other classes in scholarship.
After they got their cards, some of the “Freshies” saw that they could join the
dignified Sophomores, and, what do you think?—a bunch of “Sub-Freshies” came to
Albia High!
All the “Freshies” have found out that:
Freshmen are those that know not, and know not that they know not; Sophomores
are those that know not, and know that they know not; Juniors are those that know,
and know not that they know ; Seniors are those that know and know that they kow.

.....Mrs. Hagie
In September a group of girls were called together for the purpose of organizing a
Booster Club. The aim of the Club is to boost every activity in the school and keep
up the pep and spirit of the school.
AVe were rather unfortunate this year, as we did not have any football games to
give us an opportunity to show our skill in carrying out our plans for raising money
and boosting boys’ athletics.
On November 27, before the Thanksgiving game, a few of our members pulled
oft a pep stunt in chapel and talks were given by a few members, including Mrs.
Hagie, which showed the spirit and interest our girls took towards the school activities.
Also our members sold tickets for the Centerville game (which we failed to have) and
the way we worked, with the help and command of our efficient and capable president
and faculty adviser, awakened the public to the unusual interest and successful future
for us.
When school opened again after the “flu ban”, it was near the basket ball season,
so the Club took an active part in pep meeting and boosted basket ball. A candy sale
was held later on in the year and the neat sum of $12.40 was realized for the benefit
of the boys.
We expect to hold another sale and pull oft some more pep stunts, as we know our
advisers are full of original ideas.

Declamatory
On the seventh of January, one of the largest crowds ever assembled in our High
School auditorium, listened to our Home Contest. Twelve enthusiastic students
competed for honors and, with only two exceptions, the contestants were new to the
work; but by no means did they show it.
Each did worthily and gives great promise for next year; but first places were
awarded as follows: In the Oratorical class, Wilbur White gave us a splendid in-
terpretation of Lloyd George’s “Scrap of Paper”; in the Humorous class, Leona
Samuels cleverly impersonated “At the Ticket Office”; and in the Dramatic class,
second was awarded Mildred Giltner in a depiction of “The Man Who Looked
Back”. First place in Dramatic and Championship honors were won by Hubert
Craig in a strong, artistic presentation of Guy Empey’s “Coward”.
We were very honorably represented in the Sub-district Contest at Chariton, and
altho we did not win the contest, we are justly proud of Hubert and the talent he
displayed.
The other three winners arc to represent us in the Quadrangle Contest, at Corydon.
Perhaps once in a hundred years an Iowa high school has the privilege and pleasure
of having the State Declamatory Contest; and that pleasure belongs to Albia High
School this year.

________________
The two French clubs, “L’Etendard Tricolore" and “L’Alliance Francaise," were organized
December tenth, 1918, for the purpose of promoting interest in French life and customs as well as
in the language itself. The clubs have met bi-weekly, and after the necessary business meeting,
hare had programs dealing with various phases of "la vie francaise”. After the programs, the
clubs have occasionally indulged in light recreation, such as “Je le vois” and “J’ai fait la malle
de mon grand-pere”, occasionally also in light refreshments, “les beignets”, ‘‘la creme glacee",
and other features of the French menu.
On December twenty-fourth, the clubs united in giving a Christmas play, ‘‘Les Deux Ca-
deaux.” This plax was planned by Adrienne Alford and Glenn Hartsuck, and the following
members made up the cast: Myrtle Gasaway, Pauline Holsclaw, Frances Duncan, Charlotte
Anderson, Hazel McMahon, Adrienne Alford, Lawrence Falvey, Harry Whimpey, Martin
Sheehan, Wilbur White, Glenn Hartsuck, Dean Long.
The clubs arc of course just in the first year, experimental stage, and one might think some-
times that they exemplify the old French expression, “beaucoup de bruit pour rien,” but, owing
to the fact, “on prend plus de monches avec div miel qu’avec du vinaigre”. We feel that
“L’Etendard Tricolore” and “L’Alliance Francaise” have accomplished their aim, ami are en-
titled to a permanent place in the Albia High School.
On A7. P. Duty
We, fifty-six brilliant housemaids-to-be, began our ca-
reer of home-making in A. H. S., in the year of 1918.
As our industrial year was shortened by our enforced vaca-
tion, we did not accomplish as much as we should have
otherwise.
In spite of the sudden interruption of the domestic
routine, we showed our ability by the appetizing cafeteria
served to the many starving snow-bound brain workers.
At this sale the neat sum of twelve dollars was added to
the promotion of our department. We also had a candy
sale, which the school in general enjoyed.
As seamstresses, we cannot be excelled, to which 1 am
sure you will agree. Any one wishing any tailoring
done, just step to Room 5—Wilson & Co., Inc. We
guarantee quick work and good service.
Here’s hoping that the classes to follow will realize as
we do, that:
We may live without poetry, music, or art;
We may live without conscience, and live without heart;
We may live without friends, we may live without books,
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.

Girls’ Glee Club
The Girls’ Glee Club ot Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen has been the largest
organization of its kind that Albia High School had ever had. During the past
year the girls have sung at Lecture Course programs, contests and chapel exerciscs-
Perhaps the biggest musical success of the Glee Club was achieved when it, together
with the Boys’ Glee Club, under the efficient leadership of Miss Morris, produced
an operetta “The Isle of Chance.” The live principals were:
The King of the Isle of Chance, who is continually in search of wealth and who
trys his best to get all the money of shipwrecked people landed bv chance upon the
island, was played very effectively by Hubert Craig; the Captain of the ship, a typical
bluff seaman, was well taken, in his usual inimitable manner by Wilbur White; the
Lord and Lady together with their daughter Simpilita, who are wealthy passenger-^
and shipwrecked on the Isle of Chance and fall heir to the greed of the King, were
well taken by Rex Long as the Lord, Mildred Stocker as the Lady, and Lucile Hayes
as Simpilita. Besides the five characters just mentioned, there are Harold Avery.
as On a Grouch, Martin Sheehan, as his shadow Despair, who received much well-
earned praise for the manner in which they carried out their parts, three principal
follies, seven minor follies, seven shadows and three Spirits of the Spring.
The Glee Club this year had been very enjoyable to all the girls taking part, and
much credit and appreciation is due Miss Morris for the effective manner in whicH
she handled so large a number of girls.

Boys’ Glee Club
Shortly after the Christinas vacation there came a call for boys who wanted to
take up Glee Club work. About sixty boys responded and after Miss Morris had
tried their voices she found that twenty-seven of them had talent enough to join the
organization. They arranged for the election of officers at their first meeting and
Rex Long was elected President, Hubert Craig, Secretary and Treasurer, and Earl
Evans and Cecil McLaughlin Librarians. Books were purchased and after a few
weeks practice they made their first appearance in public, one Friday afternoon in
chapel. Because of the success achieved at this performance they were called upon
to participate in a program to be given at the Kings Theatre a few weeks later. They
weie again crowned with success which was in a large measure due to the patient
and skillful leadership of Miss Morris. All the members hope that she will be here
next year so they can take up their interesting work again.

Humorist Editor
I.
AVe’ve read many an annual
But the part that we like best,
Is the selection of that famous book
Labelled, “Jokes and Jest”.
II.
We like the literary part,
Athletic section too,
But we’ll vote solid for the jokes
After we’ve read it through.
III.
But that was in the good old days
When jokes were jokes indeed,
But now the annual staff
Most surely has no need
IV.
Of Screech-box or anything
l'o gather in the jokes,
For there’s a humorist editor
Much brighter than most folks.
V.
We cannot show him any jokes
For he just knows them all.
And for passing something in on him
AVe haven’t got the gall.
VI.
Now he does not know what to do,
Fie sure is in some strait,
Whether he’ll have a biography
Or only his portrait.
VII.
He don’t know what to call his part,
For yon sec at his ripe age,
It might be “Bright Sayings of the Child”,
Or “Deep Thoughts of the Sage”.
VIII.
But we aren’t worried how it ends
It will come out all right,
For you must remember this city boy
Is over-exceptionally bright.

Football Review
On September 7th, Coach Lundy called for football candidates. There were about twenty
men who answered his call. Some husky and some small. Conch Lundy told the men what
they were supposed to do and to have their football clothes ready for the next practice night-
The first week they went through some hard exercise such as running back punts, falling
on the ball, body blocking and running around the park four or five times.
The second week the squad took up the tackling of the dummy. They hit it so hard
that the dummy was broken two or three times.
The next two weeks were spent in signal practice, scrimmaging and getting ready for
the Fairfield game. Friday night before the game Coach Lundy told fifteen men to appear
at the train next morning.
They journeyed down to Fairfield, having lots of fun by singing songs. They were met
by a Fairfield crowd and were shown up town.
Just before the game Coach Lundy called for candidates for captain, inasmuch as Captain-
elect Ed Cleary was not in school. Votes were taken and Earl Evans was elected.
Th ex- pl aced went to the football field, and ran up and down the field, punting the ball and
kicked. When the game started the following men pl ayed.
The Captain, Earl Evans Harry Whimpey Dillion Green Frank Bell Edward Roberts Martin Sheehan Rex Long Charlie Dalin Durward Jones _ Harold Springer Arthur Griffin Wendell Smith SUBSTITUTES Harold Thompson Hubert Craig John Olsavsky first quarter was hard fought. Neither team getting in Full Back Quarterback Left Half Back ..Right Half Back ..Right Half Back Right End Left End Right Tackle Left Guard Right Guard ..Left Guard Center Right End Left Guard Right Guard scoring distance of the goal.
Time a The nd time again Albia broke up second quarter was the same their plays. as the first. Fairfield succeeded in getting the ball
within two yards of Albia’s goal. Then Albia held for downs just as the half was over.
The third quarter Bell was substituted for Roberts at right half. This quarter was fought
harder than the first. All of the men got in the play. The score was 0 to 0 at the end
of this quarter.
The last two minutes of the fourth quarter, Fairfield was lucky and pulled a long pass.
This put them eight yards from Albia’s goal. After a hard fight, they succeeded on scoring.
The score was Fairfield 7, Albia 0.
The remainder of the season was spoiled by the “Flu” Ban. We sure would have walked
on Centerville, Thanksgiving if it hadn’t snowed. Most of the men were first year tnen
and had thev been allowed to play their entire schedule, they would have developed good players.
EARL EVANS.
Resume of Basket Ball Season
With captain Smith at the helm. Coach Lundy at the stern and a peppy team on deck,
an added glory has come to A. II. S. this year. The season consisted of sixteen games. We
won twelve out of the sixteen, being defeated by only two teams, Centerville and Knoxville.
7*o start the season we succeeded in trimming the Alumni 16-12.
On January 3, 1919, Moulton came up and the A. II. S. scored 30 points in each half, while
Moulton was getting one each half.
On the 17th of January, our old eneinv, Centerville, came up and got the bacon by a score of
19-15.
On the 22nd, we defeated Avery 69-9. A11 the subs were given a chance to play.
Two days later we journeyed to Knoxville and were defeated by a score of 25-23. The game,
as the score indicated, was hard and fast.
On the first of February, Knoxville came down here, doubtless hoping to repeat their vic-
tory of a week before, but when the final whistle blew, Albia was the winner by a score of 24-11.
February 7, the team accompanied by a hundred loyal sons and daughters of the A. H. S.,
went to Ottumwa. After a hard battle we came out on top with the score 16-13.
On the twelfth of February, Fairfield came up expecting to walk away with us. We put
up our best and the game ended in favor of Albia, 25-8. This was the first and only game
that Fairfield lost all season.
On Friday the 14th, Moravia came up and were easily defeated. The final score was -1-7-15.
February 20, we went to Osceola. The game was easily won for us by a count of 27-18.
From Osceola we journey to Winterset and succeeded in getting another slice of bacon.
The score was 25-2.
On the 28th of February, we went to Centerville. The team was not in first class shape,
leaving Barnes off and Whimpey sick. They “hung it on us” 28-19.
Ottumwa came up on the 5th of March, bringing a number of rooters, and the school
band (some noise), but after the game they were not so noisy. We got the long end of the
score 25-13.
That closed our schedule for the season and on the 6th, we left for the Tournament
at Indianola.
We drew Avoca and defeated them 17-13.
On the morning of the Sth, we played Red Oak and gave them a trimming of the score 20-12.
At 3 o’clock the same afternoon, we met Stuart and after a hard battle got the big end
of the score, 36-9.
At 4 o'clock we met our old enemy, Centerville. Again and once more they beat us by
a score of 30-10.
That closed our season, but Albia still is to be proud of the splendid record which the 1919
basket ball team made.
HARRY E. WHIMPEY, ’19.
CAPTAIN SMITH
“Tess” was a constant fighter anti licit! his position as center. He hat! an accurate eye for
baskets and kept up the fighting spirit in his team mates.
CAPTAIN-ELECT HAROLD THOMPSON
‘‘Brick” was a fine floor man and good on long baskets. “Brick’s” auburn hair was the source
of admiration to out of town girls. Here’s to you, “Brick”!
LAWRENCE BARNES
Barnes was alwavs on the job anti player! his position at forward well. Not much of a talker
but a steady player.
EARL EVANS
“Buck" played standing guard and was hard to get around. His perpetual grin always worker!
on his opponent’s nerves ant! drew the crowd’s favor.
HARRY WH IMPEY
“Btike” was one of last year’s left overs, but his team work anti basket shooting was of the
best. Always out for a good time.
HAROLD BERRY, SUB
This was “Baron’s” first year, but we hope to see him on the regulars next year at his own
position.
JOHN McGILVERY, MASCOT
“Pest” never missed a game. He was a favorite both of the school anti of the team (also
out of town girls).
MISS ESCHBACH, COACH
The most capable and efficient coach that the H. S. girls have ever had. Besides being a good
instructor in athletics, she was a mother to the girls while in her care.
She always taught fair play and how to be good sports. The team feels highly honored for
having the pleasure of her assistance and guidance throughout the entire season and if she en-
joyed the work as much as the team did, she certainly will never forget the many pleasures and
honors derived from the work.
MARCIA JOHNSON, ‘-CAPTAIN”
This girl is certainly a genius when it comes to playing basket ball. Her position on the team
was guard and “on guard she was.” Her opponent would be so sure of having the ball when
all of a sudden Marcia would sadly disappoint her and send the ball to our goal. She handled
the ball just like a boy and her playing always showed up in a game. We see the advantage of
being tall and are sorry indeed that she will not be with us next year.
FRANCES DUNCAN
Frances is just the girl for jumping center. She could always get the “tip-off” from any tall
girl altho Centerville had a taller one. Our center never worried, because she could jump higher
and reach higher and play quicker. We could always depend on her for getting the ball and
using her team work. She is another Senior who will leave us this year.
OPAL BOWDRE
Opal is our running center, and for peppy playing she couldn’t be beaten. She is so quick
and always “on the dot”. She seemed to know just where the ball was going ami what her
opponent was going to do. Small but mighty is she. No matter who knocked her down it
couldn’t interfere with her team work. Opal, we are sorry to lose you also for next year.
OPAL SMITH
Left forward is her position. It is worth anybody’s quarter to see her throw for baskets. “A
star forward is her middle name.” The Smith's must have a natural athletic gift and it is a
gift to be proud of. She coidd so skillfully handle the ball and throw it in the basket in a most
unique way, in the most unexpected moment, that her guard was always at a loss to know -what
to do.
DOROTHY DESKIN
Right forward was her choice and we are sure she is fitted to thal place. She was strong on
those long throws ami usually rolled them in one after another. Her team work was always
good and especially so in the Ottumwa games. Dorothy made a wonderful improvement over
last year’s experience.
HELEN EARLY
Helen is a mighty good guard and could hold down Ottumwa’s little forward just about right.
She was a sub last year, but this year we appreciated her playing anti put her in line with the
regulars. Since Helen is only a Sophomore she has a happy future ahead of her.
BLANCHE COMBS, -SUB”
z\ quick and good little player. She usually played forward. We are sorry she could not
have been on as real forward, but anyway she played enough to ger her ‘•A”. Blanche alwayr
puzzled her guard, because she was so quick and could Jribble the ball in such a way that
couldn’t be guarded.
GRACE GRAY, ‘SUB”
Grace is an all-around good player. She made an excellent sub because she could play any
position on the team and that is saying quite a bit. She certainly showed her ability as jumping
center in the Ottumwa game.

Basket Ball
When candidates were called for basket ball, Coach Eschbach found quite a mob present, each
girl very anxious and eager to play.
No doubt there was plenty of material to work with and in fact it was hard at first to figure
out who was going to make the team. Miss Eschbach is an exceptionally good coach and with
her wise judgment and ability to select and coach a team, she chose many and selected few.
These few she drilled and drilled.
It was the drilling and practice that made us the players that we were. As you know we
won every game, of course you know that, those of you who were in hearing distance.
Ves, it was quite an exciting season for the girls and it isn’t often that you find such an
all victorious team.
Our class series came off before we had any real practice, and in those series the Seniors were
champions.
After the class series we had a practice game with Avery, the score being 24—5 in our favor.
Our first game was placed with onlv two weeks practice, but before we take a step further
we wish to announce that our success is due to our coach and second team as much as the real
team. Much credit is due those who so faithfully played with us every night, nevertheless the;.
are our next year's team.
The first game was with Centerville. This is the first year they have had a team so we
didn’t know just what to expect, but we went down there anxious to size them up and ready t->
defeat them. Well, we had a rather soft game and didn't give them a chance to throw for
baskets only on two fouls. The score was 24-1.
Our next game was with Ottumwa, and we sure practiced hard and trained to a "T . We
have desired for many a year to beat Ottumwa and this time our wish was granted. We jour-
neyed down there, accompanied by a large crowd, and after the game they gave a reception for
us at the H. S., and entertained us until train time. On our way home we had a jubilee of a
time and why not, after such a victory. Everyone was highly elated.
It was a hard fought game, we knew just what to expect of them and had planned our work
in order to capture them. They have a good team, we will acknowledge, but more than that we
are much better. The regtdar team played the entire game, as we were not knocked out or had
it easy enough to use our subs. The score -was 15—10.
I hen, we got another chance at Centerville. They came up here this time and still we were
not sure just what to expect of them, as they had more practice and according to the garni'
they had played we thought they surely had made a wonderful improvement. When they ar-
rived a few of we girls entertained them and got better acquainted. We began to worry when
we found out the changes and particulars of their team, but nevertheless we went out on the
floor determined to win and we beat them worse than the first game, 36—3.
Our last and most interesting game -was the return game with Ottumwa. Of course they
thought they would get revenge, but again we were determined.
Altho the game was not so clean as our coach had always taught us to play, we roughed each
other up and to begin with Ottumwa made the first point. Then we followed suit and rolled in
two points and pretty soon two more points. Ottumwa was then excited and began to play like
they meant business, but we were too quick for them as we kept the score ahead.
At the end of the first half it was 15-10 in our favor, and ended with a score of 15—19. We
treated them good and showed them we were good sports but they certainly are poor losers.
Our only regret is that we did not get to play any more games, but here’s good luck to the
team of next vear.
ACT IV
Xiterarp
An Alumna Talks for No Apparent Reason
High School students are divided into two classes of which the student body occupies the
present, the alumni the past. The mutual interest which exists between the two is not very deep.
It might be compared on the one hand to the interest a child bestows on his grandmother's
cousins—respectful but deprecatory ; on the other, the quite superior concern with which the
grown-up sees his younger brothers and sisters taking possession of his high chair.
When an alumnus returns for his first visit to his Alma Mater anti sees familiar places
peopled with unfamiliar forms, he feels like singing, “All High School Students Look Alike to
Me,” to the tune of a funeral dirge. Meanwhile the student all unconsciously bumps into the
famous football man of nineteen-blank or rushes carelessly past the “star” whom the past gener-
ation delighted to honor, scarcely stopping long enough to inquire of some one, “married or
single ?”.
We should advise you students to give us more than the passing glance. Why ? Arent we a
sample of after taking? And it’s really quite pleasant on this side of the commencement goal.
The burden of the future rests upon the student but we are happily’ taken up with the immediate
present. High School life is like the hundred yard dash, all fast work and no resting. I he
alumnus may occasionally sit down on a mossy stone and dream over the dash, then turn again
to the work at hand.
1 he cloak of years slips off easily, however, when the alumnus wanders into Chapel and
hears the enthusiastic yell leader call out “everybody up” or the chapel speaker assuring the
students that they’ are passing through their happiest years. That statement brings a quizzical
little smile to the face of the alumnus. He enjoys in retrospect the good times which he was too
busy to appreciate while in the midst of them.
Even though we may look with amused resentment at the occupants of our high chairs, never-
theless, the affections of the Alumni go back to the student body.
And the writer who is privileged to be among those who work for the high chair usurpers is
delighted to send word to the alumni family of the wonderful progress of Albia High. The
new building with its well equipped laboratories and convenient class rooms is crowded and the
“esprit de corps” is a living thing. To be sure the dullard and slacker are still with us but
their number is noticeably small in comparison with the host of the alert and worth while.
The bonds invisible are firmer than ever between the alumni and students, strengthened, per-
haps, by the stars of blue and the star of gold on the field of white.
The new years bring new tasks for new alumni. Wc of the past send to you of the present
Hearty Greetings.
Ruth Bloomfield.

That Faculty Blowout
On Thursday night, Jan. 16, that there faculty of our'n took it into their heads to give us a
big doin’s; an’ we wuz all asked to come down to the skiile house at 7:30.
Well, when we got here they sent us all down to the gym to let the receivin’ line receive us
an' then they scattered us all out into little gatherin’s an' gave us some words to make poetiy
out of. There’s a whole lot of poetic ability in this here skule; I’m real glad them teacher*
thot of bringin’ it out like that.
After the literary proceedin’s wuz over, we all went up an’ had seats in the auditorium to see
our faculty put on a show. The first number wuz a musical spasm by the females who are
teachin’ us this year. Honest, it wuz the swellest jazz band I ever heard. Then the} had a
play which wuz mighty harrowin’ to our feelin’s, an’ tve wuz all thankful when the table wuz
spread. Prof. Lundy an’ that there French teacher wuz very realistic in their actin'. I he}
had another plax too, which wuz extremely scientific, but not so thrillin’: an’ we all felt might}
sorry for the cats.
Then they had a couple of darkey comedians. Briggs an’ Lundy wuz their names. 1 he}
pulled some good jokes, an’ they sure slammed some o’ them there onery Senior boys. After
that they wound up with a grand chorus, as them kind of things always does. An’ when the
show wuz all over, they give us popcorn balls an’ apples an’ let us go home. An' believe me.
we claim our faculty can put it all over anybody fer showin’ folks a swell time.

“Trouble Hunters’
Anj story of (he fighting south of the Marne—or anywhere else, for that matter—that does
not mention the Signal Corps, would be about as complete as the story of Jonah with the whale
left out. No living man can tell the complete tale of a battle that stretches along a front of
more than sixty miles, he can only tell of the little part he played. It was a Wednesday, just
before sundown, that we received orders for a forced march. So we hurriedly pulled up stakes,
threw our sixty pound home on our backs, and started, we didn’t know where. We traveled
along roads we didn t know, through a countryside we’d never seen before. The boys were all
singing and "kidding” because they thought, most of them, we were going into a rest area. We
traveled all that night and all the next day before we ran into some “Frenchies,” who told us
there was to be a big advance the next morning and that we were going in too. I don’t think
I can ever describe that awful night of marching. It seemed as if all the soldiers from all the
nations in the world were moving, moving—somewhere. French of many a uniform, dough-
boys, artillery, horses, drivers, tanks, ammunition trains, ambulances, supply trains, mules, water-
carts, big guns, little guns, more guns—all creeping along in the mud and dark and rain. We
could hear, we could feel the nightmare confusion. We couldn’t see it except when a flare of
lightning lighted up the whole country just for a second.
It must have been about midnight when we received an order to “chuck” everything, even
our light packs, and to start across open fields. After two hours of fast marching, we reached
the edge of a thick pine woods and received orders to "fall out” and wait for further orders.
We were hungry and thirsty and tired. After a few minutes of rest we resumed our march
and were met by French guides who showed us our position. We lay down on the edge of a
woods looking across a wheat field. For three and one-half hours all was silent as a grave and
orders were given in whispers. Precisely at 4:30 the great bombardment commenced. The
shriek ami whistle ami whine and clamor of the shells made a fearful chorus as they were
hurled in the direction of the “Boche”. The U. S. guns were less than a mile back of us and
were shooting over our heads. Apparently this fierce “barrage” took the enemy by surprise, for
they made a very uncertain reply. At 5:30 the bombardment increased. Machine guns joined
in the chorus and a curtain of steel and fire was placed in front of our infantry and rained
upon the guns ami cannon of the enemy. After a brief period of this heavy fire the first three
waves of doughboys started across the fields, sweeping the enemy before them.
1 he Signal Corps did not need to be prodded into action. We were already in action and
had been since midnight. It was tolerablv easy, if skilled -work of the most delicate kind tinder
shell-fi re can ever be called easv. This barrage, as all barrages do, played havoc for the signal
corps. We were supposed to keep close to the infantry so they could telephone to headquarters
their needs and successes, but it was hard to keep up with fleet-footed doughboys. Not once,
but time and time again, while we were splicing two tattered ends, a shell fell a few yards
away and ripped the wire in several places. We worked fast but the shells came faster. One
wire was cut in one hundred and fourteen places in a kilometer in length, the longest fragment
that remained measured exactlv twenty-seven feet. The men who did the work suffered almost
as heavily as those in any combat. Signal Corps men work in pairs, and sometimes one, some-
times both were struck at their task. Our task was at times hard and our living conditions
were not the best, but it was our work and it was helping our dough-boys, the greatest bunch
of fighting men in the world.

Freshie: “Flow are we going to get out, though?”
Soph.: “Don’t wait until someone carries you out, for you may wait for some
time.”

Mabel: “No, hardly a typewriter, but a typist?”
IN CAESAR CLASS
Vincent C. : “Miss Platt, what is a fortification?”
Miss Platt: “A fortification is a fort.”
\ incent: “Well, then, I suppose a ratification is a rat.”

7’o the Juniors: We hope you will
profit by our mistakes, and by that part of
our Annual which is good.
To the rest of the Classes: We thank
you for your support and the generous
applause given our little play.

pation much enjoyed by Juniors.)
Aliss Jameson: “Napoleon built roads in France, over the Alps and across the

Alary: “Say, is the moon inhabited?”

Teacher: “The remote past.”

John Ellis: “A fence.”
Miss Morris: “Why, do you know, Mr. Lundy, my foot was so badly swollen

GLENN’S FAVORITE VERSE
Oh ! Maiden, how my heart throbs, and my head bobs,
When I see thy graceful figure in the distance.
Your beaming eyes and haunting looks,
Just like I’ve seen in Roman books.
Those beautiful eyes,
They idolize,
Thy graceful twist,
And oh !—1 wist,
I were near thee every hour,
Oh, Maiden, you are my dream,
And I will love thee evermore.

We, the Senior Class, are bringing our high school .career to a close, and this
event suggests to us the half-spoken hope that we may not, during the coming years,
be entirely forgotten. We hope that when new athletic heroes and heroines bring
greater laurels for our Alma Mater, and when “silver-throated” singers perform for
you in chapel, that you will remember that we had on our hotior roll such names as
Evans, Whimpey, Duncan, and Alford.
To the Faculty we say that we didn’t always see things your way, yet we have
tried to do right, and we hope that we have your friendship, because your friendship is
a thing we treasure highly. To you we can only humbly say, “Please, don’t forget us.”
To the Students we say that we know that we are the best class that ever graduated
from Albia High; but, we say nothing for the future. May your days in Albia High
School be happier, if possible, and more glorious, if they can be such, than ours. We
won’t be jealous of you. It’s all going to glorify our common Mother—Albia High
School—and we give our benediction to a cause as worthy as that.
Therefore, Faculty and Fellow Students, since our last few school days are swiftly
flying and soon we will be marching out of chapel for the last time to the strains of
“Auld Lang Syne”, we must take our last farewell. So, wishing you the best of
success for all time, we say, “Aloah”.
Glenn Hartsuck, ’19.
TO NON-ADVERTISERS
We will never buy your dry goods,
We won’t like you any more;
You’ll be sorry when you see us,
Trading at some other store.
You can’t sell us any ribbons,
Four-in-hands, or other fads.
We will never trade at your store,
But those that give us ads.
TO ADVERTISERS
We will always buy your candy,
We will always call for more.
You will never, never see us,
Eating at some other store.
We are going to buy your dresses,
Khaki gowns, and other fads ;
We are going to patronize you,
For you always give us ads.

CLASS OF 1919
It is a matter of keenest satisfaction to us
to see another sizable cast of splendid young

ward gained by the efforts of your years in
school.
It is fitting to say that the same earnest and
diligent effort applied in “doing” your future
problems will meet with the same creditable
success.

THE IDEA THAT WON
MILLIONS
Never forget that hosiery plays a
far more conspicuous part in your ap-
pearance than many a larger and more
costly item of dress. Luxite Hosiery
is made with this idea in mind; hence
made as shapely as the curves of the
figure, and in a texture so wonderfully
fine and soft you can draw a pure silk
Luxite stocking through your fingcr
ring.
As for serviceability, there is noth-
ing better. That's why we recommend
these hose.
Holeproof and Luxite Hosiery
for Ladies and Gentlemen
Sold only at
BURDOCK’S, THE HUB
To the Senior Class T9
We take this occasion to extend
to you our best and most sin-
cere wishes, for this the end of
your school career, and th.it the
future before you be as bright
as the past school life has been
You have been led into right
channels which will mean much
to you in your after-life, and
we hope that the seed thus fruit-
fully sown, shall reap a right
harvest of high hopes and high
ambitions, as your reward.
Sincerely*

Tihere was a time
NOT SO VER Y LONG
ago, when all printing
looked alike to most of
us; it was Just printing;
but that time is past and a
new day has dawned.
Most everyone today has a
very highly developed sense
in all manner of printing.
It is one thing to appreciate
superior quality and another
To produce it requires men
of skill, industry and zeal
and a good equipment.
We have a corps of efficient
craftsmen who are schooled
in what is right and how to
get the best results.
We have a master printer
who will give your work his
Our equipment is of the best.
There is a glowing sense of
satisfaction in dealing with
people in whom you have ab-
solute faith.
