                                                    There's a Soph, whose name is Walker
                                                     A husky fellow, not a Balker;
                                                             He once ran a mile,
                                                            Finished with a smile,
                                                     Now he's getting to be quite a talker.

                                                     We have a boy whose name is Fred.
                                                      A boy whom girls do not dread ;
                                                               He plays the bass drum
                                                               And basketball some,-
                                                      And he once got a bump on the head.

                             Mr. Cox:  "Well, beat it now and don't come back without an excuse."

                             Fern:         "Latin is a snap."
                             Walter:      "It may be, but I can't snap it."
                             Mr. Cox:    (in general assembly)  "Now, folks, we have a great deal before us."

                             Dale:         "I wonder what makes me so short."
                             Lola:         "Because you are always getting called down."

                             Marion:     "Did you ever kiss a girl under a mistletoe?"
                             Fred:         "No, but  I've kissed a lot of them under the nose."

                             Marion:     "This wire don't shock me a bit."
                             Fern:          "It doesn't?  I would like to shock you once."

                             Mr. Cox:     (in Physics lab)   This is a good electric light bulb and this is one  is
                                                 burned out.   I will break the old one so you can see how it's made.

                                                               THE POET'S (?) CORNER

                                                 There was a young man named Walter,
                                                  Who couldn't be lead with a halter,
                                                               But it was said by some,
                                                               If you gave him a plum,
                                                 You would never know him to falter.


                                                  There was a senior named Babbitt,
                                                   In school he had an awful bad habit,
                                                               He'd sit and smile
                                                               Plumb cros't the aisle,
                                                   As timid and soft as a Rabbitt.

                                                    There's also a senior named "Green,"
                                                    Knock-kneed, bow-legged and lean,
                                                                But never the less,
                                                                We've got to confess,
                                                    In basketball he's very keen.

                                                    We have a girl called "Joe,"
                                                     Who, in Latin is all the "Goe,"
                                                                Though she is quite short,
                                                                 She's a very good sport,
                                                     The rest we'll never "Noe."

                            Stanley: "I wonder how the girl's team gets clean after a game?"
                            Guido:  "That's easy!  They have a scrub team."

                            Mr. Cox (In Assembly):  Now, folks, we have a great deal before us
                                                                     this morning.

                   The first money was obtained through a division of the funds belonging to the township,
            upon amicable terms, by which the independent district received twenty-one percent,
            amounting to $1,847.60.
                   In this division, O. P. Mace, J. W. Griffis and Willoughby Dye represented the township
            while S. D. Lane, Sylvester Dye and T. J. Young the first school board, Looked after the
            interests of the independent district.
                   With this fund on hand and prospects for the future in sight, following the desires of the
            people, the board proceeded to purchase the present school grounds at a cost of  $375, and
            the construction of the building which is now called the grade building at the contract
            price of $5,100 was begun.   Quite an undertaking at the time, considering that it was
            necessary to maintain a school during the time.
                   Like all the other patriotic communities, it was the first effort of the people to provide
            means for educating the youth, that they might grow up to be beneficial to the community
            in which they might live, and good citizens of the state.  With commendable zeal, the Board
            of Education has always worked to maintain the standing of our school equal to other like
            schools of the state.
                   The first regular commencement exercises were held in 1893, when Armanis Patton
            and Lillian Ashley passed out regularly from the school and were given certificates as
            having completed the complement of study.

                                                  THE CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL

                   The present Consolidated District was formed in1917 and work on the present high
            school building was rushed, but it was not ready to use until about the first of January, 1918.
            Consolidation did not affect the size of the high school so much as it did the grades.  The
            school now employs twelve teachers including the Superintendent.   It is regularly approved
            by the State Department of Public Instruction as a four year high school.

                         The pupils in this first school were: -  Frank Shinn, Ephraim Baker, Cyrus Burkholder, 
          Louisa Tuttle, James Agler, John Agler, Charles Price, Louisa Price, Warner Losh, Emerson Losh
          Cynthia Losh, George Shinn and Andrew Shinn.

                         Rev. A. T. Shinn, a Methodist minister preached the first Gentile sermon in the
           Graybill cabin in April 1858 to a full house.

                         At this time the Macedonia Township and Kane Township were the only two
           organized townships in the county.  The west line of Macedonia Township took in Silver
           Creek and Washington Townships.  The first election was held in the old mill.  Seventy
           votes were cast coming from Loon's Grove (Avoca), Big Grove (Oakland), Rhode Island
            Ridge (Waveland and Washington Twps.), Wheeler's Grove and Taylor's Station and
           Button's Settlement on Silver Creek.  Those townships in all occupied twenty-four square
           miles.

                        In 1879 the Rock Island and Burlington Railroads were surveyed and on July 4th,
            188? the first train came to Carson.
                        The town of Macedonia was soon moved from "Old Town" to the railroad and
            grew to its present population of three hundred seventy four, more or less, in a few years.
                         EDITOR'S NOTE:  -   This sketch is as nearly as possible in the words of Mr.
            Shinn as he told it to representatives of the Senior Class of 1926 in February 1926. 
            Errors in the spelling of names or other unimportant details may have crept in to the
             narrative, but we believe that it is in the main authentic.



                                         HISTORY OF MACEDONIA HIGH SCHOOL
                                                              By J. M. Kelly
                                                   (Taken from the 1906 Annual)

                       The history of the Macedonia High School may properly date from 1882, when the
                territory now comprising the Independent District of Macedonia was carved out of the
                township district and started to do business "on its own hook."

                        A millwright named Hauze came from Gardens Grove and with the help of the settlers he cleared the timber and built a mill.  Stutzman sent to St. Louis for the burrs.  This mill was always known as "Stutzman's Mill."
                         It cost the people here twenty-five cents to send a letter to the Eastern part of the United  States.  Mail for them came up the Missouri river by steamboat to Knoxville    (Council  Bluffs) and was left at Stutzman's store until a neighbor would bring it out.
                          There people held regular meetings.  Elder Calvin A. Beebe was the minister.  His first sermon was on this text,  "There is a cry from Macedonia, come over and help us."  After this
first sermon a petition was prepared and sent to Washington, D. C., asking for a post office to be
established.   At this time the people gave the settlement the name of Macedonia.  The post office was established in 1849 and C. A. Beebe was the first postmaster.
                         The first sttlers chose land which had on it plenty of timber or water power or both. 
When the government survey was completed in 1851 and the land was formally thrown open by the government in 1853, Tuttle filed a claim for the land on which the mill stood and Stutzman filed on the eighty acres north of him.  It is supposed that Graybill deeded his original claim to the water rights to Stutzman.
                         The settlers from 1853 to 1858 included Wm. Hinman, mcClure Hinman, W.W. Wilson,
Ezra Baker, A. T. Shinn, Wm. Price, J.Z. Losh, John Agler, T.J. Ring, George Cotton, Peter Frain and
Charles Burkholder.
                          The first school election was held in 1858 and the following directors were chosen:
A. T. Shinn, President, Ezra Baker and Charles Burkholder.  Jas. B. Rue was the County Superintendant
of Schools and Joe Lyman was the first teacher.  The log cabin built by Graybill was used for a school house.  Mr. Lyman was paid twenty dollars a month and "boarded 'round."

HISTORY OF MACEDONIA

 

                                                                          BY FRANK SHINN

                              In 1846, two years after the assassination of Joe Smith, the Prophet, father of
     the Mormon Church, Brigham Young, with several hundred members of his church in Navoo,
     Illinois, crossed the Mississippi river in the spring and started westward.
                              Several stopped at Garden's Grove in Dayton County and several stopped at
     what is now called Macedonia.  They stayed for some time at the place called Old Macedonia.
     Four of the elders of the Mormons died and were buried on what is now the Clyde Scott farm.
     Brigham Young continued and stopped at a place he named Weeping Water. late. Florence,
     north of Omaha.
                              The next spring, 1847, Levi Graybill discovered the stone and the fall of the water in the river at Old Macedonia, while camped near the river.  After going on to Knoxville,
(now Council Bluffs) he left his people and came back to the  Nishnabotna river and posted a squatters notice at the waterfall in the river and then took eighty acres of land that was covered with heavy
timber.  Here he built the first log cabin on half mile south of the main street of the present
Macedonia and moved in his family.
                             Calvin A. Beebe, a Mormon elder was the next settler.   Next came Joe Smith
(grandfather of Henry Smith), then came John Weiniger and John Mowry.  All these came in 1847.
                              Thomas J. Ring came from Gardens Grove in 1848 with three yoke of oxen and
settled between Macedonia and Carson.
                               Levi Graybill sold his squatter's claim to J. B. Stutzman of Council Bluffs.  To
hold such a claim it had to be occupied so Mr. Stutzman sent Luther Tuttle, who had just married
a Miss Wilmot, to live on the Graybill place for him.
                               At this time the people who had settled here had to drive a hundred miles south
into Missouri to get their grain ground into flour.  They wanted a mill nearer so the persuaded
Stutzman to build a mill on the Nishnabotna River.

      This was the year a Boy's Glee Club had been organized and much progress was made.    
       This year Mrs. Fitzgerald has spent twice as much time with the Girl's Glee Club and Mr. Cox has spent a like amount with the Boy's club and in the operetta for this year "The Gypsy Rover", the combined Glee Clubs sang four part music for the first time.
       The soloists for "The Gypsy Rover" were; - Mildred Shuck, Lola Keast, Kenneth Taylor, Harry Braden, Walter Besore, Velma Plumb, Donald Fisher, Lucille Boruff and Gerald Babbitt.  The other members took the parts of gypsies, hunters, lords and ladies.

                                                              THE BAND

       About the first of October, 1924, the M.H.S. Band was started.  No one in High School but Donald Fisher had ever played in a band, but Mr. Cox agreed to donate his time for practice and private lessons to all who would bring instruments.   Practice was held after school hours the first semester, but later it was found that the schedule could be arranged to use some school time for practice.   There were eighteen members of the first year's band and eight of them did not return to school or dropped out of the band.
       The other ten members were afraid they would not have much of a band this year, but started practicing as soon as Mr. Cox returned from Summer School and when school started there were sixteen new members, making a large enough band to play real music.
       The band has played for all the home basketball games and took a never-to-be-forgotten truck ride to Carson to advertise the big "jinx" Minstrel Show.   March 25th they presented their work to the public in a formal concert.   While the concert was poorly attended, the members feel that they had a real initiation as regular band performers and look forward to other chances to play in public.

     A play was worked out in which Hobson, running forward, dribbled the ball, and Boyer and Dinwiddie, looking back at Hobson, ran interference.   The two of them cleared a path for Hobson, who dribbled and passed to Hugh Braden and he sunk the ball in the basket.   According to Tacy, during this year of the "Championship", Hugh Braden got into the enemy's territory, beyond the center line, but three times, and Henry left his "post" guard position but once.   Henry tried for a basket but three times in the two years and made but one.  It was Tacy's idea that Braden should always be available at his basket and that Henry should always threaten the enemy's goal.

                                                                   GLEE CLUBS

     In 1922 and 19233 Miss Luella Dye gave the Girl's Glee Club their training.  She was Principal of the high school and tried in many ways to make the girls enjoy their work.  They had several parties during the year.  In order to buy their music they had candy sales at school.  This year they did not give an operetta, but sang several numbers at Commencement.
     Miss Dye was not with us the next year (1923-1924) so Mrs. H. K. Dye was asked to help the Glee Club twice a week.  This year we gave an operetta, "The Feast of the Red Corn".   The main characters were:- Marguerite Besore Smith, Esther Braden Harms and Evelyn Lewis.
     Last year the School Board hired a regular music teacher two days a week.  Mrs. H. J. Fitzgerald has been supervisor of music the past two years and in her work has included work with both Boy's and Girl's Glee Clubs and Music in all the grades.  The operetta in 1925 was "Love Pirates of Hawaii."
Walter Besore, Norris Pilling, Velma Plumb and Frances Parker Hobson were the soloists and the members of both glee clubs were Hawaiians and Pirates.   In this operetta and in the songs used at Commencement the combined clubs sang three part music instead of boys and girls all singing the air.

players got their own rosin, put it in their pockets,  and during the practice, did all their own rosining.
     One of the hardest fought battles of the year was that against Tabor high school.  Ellis, a forward, had an amazing overhand flip at the board that almost defied guarding, and he had a trick of tripping that added to the agony.  The game ended 15 to 15, and extra play was allowed.   The rules then provided that there should be play until one side made two more points.  Play was resumed and the referee evidently went blind.  No fouls were called, and a football game would have seemed like a sewing circle.  The affray lasted nearly ten minutes before a basket was made, and then Boyer, never a very good basket thrower, on his knees, south of the center's circle, with a Tabor man between his legs (Miles was intentionally sitting on him) threw a goal in the North basket that didn't touch the rim!  But the mess!  Hugh Braden's nose was bleeding a stream, Boyer's head had been cut by a slide across the floor, Hobson had a black eye, Dinwiddie was sitting across a chair with his arm folded across his stomach.  Someone had used a knee on his wind.  Henry had been tossed bodily into the stage, and from there, seeing Ellis trying for a goal, reached out with a foot and kicked the ball out of his hands, and with the other kicked Ellis in the face.  He then got back into the game and sprained both ankles.  Ellis lost a lot of blood from his nose and mouth;  Mann, the center, had his shirt and one shoe torn off by Boyer and one forward, I forget his name, was pitched over the front row of spectators onto the back row by Dinwiddie.   When it was all over the Tabor boys locked arms in the center of the floor, spit blood and cheered for Macedonia.
     The style of play of those first two teams differed from that of today.  The forwards, short men each year, passed the ball on the floor, or within a few inches of it; while the guards and center, all tall, and jumpers, played the ball in the air.  This proved rather confusing to their opponents.   Too, there was no rule against blocking a player, or running into another man if the runner was proceeding backwards, or in such a way as not to be able to see the man into whom he ran.

     The first game was with Carson, coached by E. E. Coe,  now of Mondamin.  Before a basket had been made a dispute arose over a decision by Coe, who was refereeing, and the two schools have disagreed in basketball ever since.  On this team, Miller played standing or "post" guard, a term invented because the baskets and backstops had been fastened to posts.  Hugh Braden threw most of the baskets, everyone feeding the ball to him.  Then methods then used would appear crude today.  Braden threw baskets from between his knees, giving the ball a backward twirl,  and could hardly throw any other way.  The result was that he had to maneuver into his between-the-knees position, and often lost what could have been made into points had he known other methods of shooting baksets.
     During the winter of 1911 Miller became ill and Henry replaced him and played out the season at "post" guard.  But two games were lost during the season, one to Carson high school and one to the Woodbine Normal school.
     The next year the team consisted of Hugh Braden, f;  Adrian Hobson, f;  Miles Boyer, c;  Henry Dinwiddie, g;  James Henry, g;  Naason Young and Wilbur Plumb, subs.  This year they won unofficial Southwestern Iowa Championship and lost no games.  There was no official method of determining the honors, but Malvern beat all the larger schools in this corner of the State, including Council Bluffs, Red Oak and Glenwood and publicly claimed the Championship.  Macedonia challenged, and on Malvern's floor, won, 24 to 14.
     In this contest, the Macedonians overcame the disadvantage by a trick.  The Macedonia boys played with ordinary tennis shoes, and on a slick floor were helpless.  (They used tennis shoes because they were lighter than suction soles and Macedonia was so heavy, averaging 156 pounds and needing all the speed possible.)  Malvern played on a dance floor and with suction soled shoes.  When Macedonia started practicing the boys slipped and fell.  An attempt was made to get the suction shoes, but it was fruitless.  Then Tacy tried to get Malvern to resin the floor.   They wouldn't do that, so the 'Donia

GIRL'S BASKETBALL SEASON  1925-1926

                The girl's team consisted of Mildred Shuck, Guard and Captain;  Nina Carley, Dorothy Bolton and Pearle Metcalfe, Guards;  Velma Plumb and Ruth Boyer, Jumping Centers;  Lucille Borluff and Vola Hendrix,  Running Centers;  Marie Carley, Lola Keast and Lucile Taylor, Forwards and the following girls were much help to the team and all show promise of developing to first class players with more experience:
     Irene Plumb,  Frances Taylor,  Evalyn Keener, Evelyn Stevens and Wilda Miller.   The team will lose Marie Carley and Pearle Metcalfe by graduation bur if you could see the girls at practice and had seen the way they played at the Stanton Tournament you would realize that there is plenty of material for another great team next year.   The Coach this year was Miss Gladys Hooker.

                           HISTORY OF BASKETBALL IN MACEDONIA HIGH SCHOOL
                                                                   BY J. M. HENRY

BOY'S BASKETBALL SEASON 1925-1926

                    The boy's team this year was composed of three veterans, Stanley Dye, center and captain,
          Sam Braden, forward; and Dale Miller,  guard.   Guido Stemple, forward and Harry Braden,
          guard completed the quintet that played nearly all of all the games.  Substitutes who were in
          action in several games when badly needed were,  George Ginger, Royce Parker, Fred Koast and
          Oran Androy.  Under the clever coaching of  their new coach, Ray C. Hall they developed an
          offence that enabled them to pile up top-heavy scores in many of their games.  The team was not             defeated on its home floor and had the pleasure of defeating decisively every team which it lost
          to during the entire season.   Dye and Braden will be lost by graduation and Parker may not    
          return to Macedonia next fall, but the material on hand indicates that there will be another
          whirlwind team representing "Donia" next season.

                                                        OUR HIGH SCHOOL DAYS
         One dismal, rainy September morning, we, a group of thirty green students, entered high school as FRESHIES.   We were the largest class that had ever entered M.H.S. and we are proud to say that we still are the largest class in the school and hope to be so until we graduate.
         We are now a peppy bunch of twenty-one Sophomores.  We have published the monthly edition of the high school paper, the "Purple and Gold" and we try hard to make each edition better than the preceding one.
         Our class is largely represented in every extra-curricular activity of the school, there being seven of us in the band, four in the Camp Fire, four in the Literary Society and eight in the Radio Club.  The high school pianist, Lucille Miller, is a Sophomore.  In Athletics we shine above any class in school with four girls on the first team and two boys on the first team and five out of the six substitutes for the boy's team.
         We hope that when we leave old 'Donia High two years from now, we will leave the best record in scholarship, school life and all-round usefulness ever left by any class.  We want it to be a record other classes will be anxious to try to equal.
