SOCIAL NOTES

            On the evening of the football game with Nevada City, a dance was given by the Marysville team in the High School Auditorium.  Those in attendance had a most enjoyable time.  This was the only dance of the year.

THE GERMAN CLUB

            A German Club was organized this year, consisting of the second year German students. The meetings were held at the homes of the members every two or three weeks.  Many enjoyable times were had by those present and the evenings were spent in playing German games, and singing German songs, after which dainty refreshments were served.  Not only h as the German Club afforded many pleasant evenings, but a great deal of benefit has been derived from the meetings by the students.  The teacher, Miss Rueter, made these meetings very interesting, and each time prepared games and the evening’s entertainment.

DRAMATICS

            This year much interest has been shown in dramatics, which has been lacking in the school heretofore.  Not only in the Senior class has this interest been evinced, but also in the Junior class.  Both are busy preparing plays which are to be given the latter part of May or the first of June.

            The Seniors are to give two short comedies which are being looked forward to with great anticipation.

A PERPLEXING SITUATION

Cast of Characters

            The theme of this amusing little comedy is an unusual one.  This farce disproves the popular belief that woman can not hold her tongue, much to the chagrin of the pater familias, who thereby loses a wager of considerable amount.  It also portrays bargain-hunting woman willing to sacrifice even the pleasure of speaking in order to gain the means for gratifying her love of dress.

THE MOUSE-TRAP

Cast of Characters

            This is a clever little farce by W. D. Howells showing how woman’s boasted moral courage weakens in the presence of physical danger.

            The Juniors have been rehearsing for their play, “Mr. Bob,” for some time, and this is also being looked forward to with equally as much enthusiasm.

“MR. BOB”

EDITORIAL

            A marked increase in efficiency has been appreciably noticeable in all branches of work during the past year.  An active part and interest has been taken in all school affairs, the majority of which were highly successful.

            Unusual interest has been shown in the programs rendered during the year.  One of the most interesting programs was prepared and given on Arbor Day.  Upon this occasion the program was rendered with exceptional energy and spirit.

            A great deal of interest was also displayed in the inter-class baseball games and debates.  The latter were carefully prepared by the opposing teams.

            The interest shown by the Upperclassmen in presenting both the Senior and Junior plays is creditable, each member taking his part with commendable enthusiasm.

            It is earnestly hoped that school work will be carried on with the highest possible standard, and that we may always seek to ascend to a higher plane.  Let our motto be, “In ever highering eagle circles up.”

            Our capable janitor, Mr. Hutchins, is deserving of credit for the careful and painstaking way in which he fulfills his duties.  The well kept lawn, trees and flowers which surround the building bear evidence of his diligent service.

            The recently completed cement walks surrounding the school grounds add greatly to the attractiveness of the building and surroundings.

            Much credit is due to the effectual manner in which this school is conducted.  Among the new courses are Commercial Law, Public Speaking and Debating, and Household Chemistry.  Several hundred dollars worth of equipment has been added to the Chemistry Department.  Gas ranges and complete cooking paraphernalia add a great deal to the facilities, and some fine cooking and baking has resulted.  The delicious biscuits baked by the members of this department bear evidence of the fact, as there is always a hungry crowd waiting to sample their product on baking days.  This is an exceptionally practical course, and is highly recommended for girls especially.

            This year’s Senior Class is the largest ever graduated from the Marysville High School.  The class entered the new building, upon its completion, as Freshmen, and has the honor of being the first class to complete a four years’ course in the new home of the school.

            More school spirit is shown by the Freshman and Sophomore classes than in either of the other classes.  This speaks well for the lower grades.  Keep it up.

            We wish to express our thanks and appreciation to all who have aided us in editing this book, and especially do we thank our advertisers, who have been so generous.

ATHLETICS

            The Marysville High School is just closing the year of 1913 and 1914, which in Athletics has been replete with surprises and disappointments.

FOOTBALL

            The season started with dark clouds on the Marysville horizon.  But several previously untried men developed wonderfully and gave M. H. S. a fair team.

            Manager Wilkie scheduled the first game with Colusa, and on the first Saturday in October the team traveled to that city where Marysville and Colusa fought out the major part of the afternoon to a 6 to 6 tie.  The Colusa team gave the Marysville team a reception in the High School on the evening of the game.

            The following Saturday the Colusa team came to Marysville, and the latter tried to be lenient, but at the same time could not resist the temptation of winning by a score of 14 to 0.

            Marysville’s third game was with Nevada City.  Reports gave Nevada City a strong team, and this caused our boys to be somewhat worried, but they gained confidence after being on the field a short time, and won from Nevada City by a score of 45 to 0.

            Marysville, Gridley, and Chico were entered in the N. C. H. S. A. L. football series, with Gridley scheduled to play Marysville.  Gridley, however, forfeited, and Marysville played Chico for the championship, which Marysville lost by the score of 8 to 5.  This was the most exciting game of the season, and the decision was in doubt until the final whistle.

            On Thanksgiving day the Alumni played the Marysville team, and won the game by the score of 8 to 0.

COLUSA-MARYSVILLE

            The second game was with Colusa and was played at Marysville.  Colusa had been in training only for a few days and consequently Marysville won the game by the large score of 15 to 0.

OROVILLE-MARYSVILLE

            On March 21, 1914, Marysville journeyed to Oroville, where the first league game was played.  Oroville had a surprisingly good team and defeated Marysville by a score of 5 to 4.

            Chico came to Marysville for the second league game on April 11, and Marysville was the winner of this game by a score of 5 to 2.

SUTTER-MARYSVILLE

            On April 18, Sutter City and Marysville played the league game at Marysville.  The game was in favor of Marysville up to the sixth inning, when Marysville’s luck seemed to turn, and Sutter won the game by a score of 8 to 5.

TENNIS

            Mears Hanson, our only tennis player, entered the tournament at Chico on April 18, and by defeating Red Bluff in the semi-finals, won his way to the finals.  He was finally defeated by Bullard of Oroville for the men’s single championship of the N. C. H. S. A. L.

TRACK

            Our track team was the surprise of the year.  There was very little hope in favor of Marysville and when our team annexed 15 points in the N. C. H. S. A. L. meet, we were very happily surprised.  Tom Carlin won the 440, and took third place in the 220.

            Archie Bray took second place in the 220 and third in the 440.  Laverne Stafford took second place in the shotput.  Ellis Patterson, our Freshmen entry, ran a splendid race in the mile, but he had seasoned men against him and succeeded only in gaining fourth place.

            The relay team took third place, giving a total of 15 points for the Marysville track team.
