. South Of this quarter lay hall
section Of unbroken land where later
/ John NJ. Carver was to live for many
years. At this time 1t was famous
for its prairie chickens. Their drum

springtime can never be forgotten
When the prairie fires had burned
over 1t we hunted for their eggs In
their ruined nests. There was not

During this period father set out a
mile of Usage hedge plants around
his east forty. Most of this is living
today.
Wagon roads, or rather trails, ran
everywhere cutting deep ruts into
the earth. When these became too
rough they were abandoned and a
new trail along side was made. Later
much bad blood was occasioned
when an enterprising settler fenced
off his land.
The section northeast of us was
33 Of Cheever township. Not fur
row had been turned on 1t. 1t was a
railroad section and famous for its
coyotes. owls and prairie chickens.
The settlers cut hay here in the hazy
days of autumn and there were merry
squabbles over the best areas. Later
this section was bought and fenced
by Bishop Samuel Z6ok.
North Of us on section 80 there
were four families. On the south

from Chapman. creek or from the
Smoky Hill river. This house copied

grandfather had grown up. Here,
too, was the first, and then, the only
windmill in the country. To my in
fantile eyes it seemed mile high.
When the rude winds made it creak
and lunge, steadied by four wire guy
lines, it was a fearsome sight. The
windmills Of Don Quixote had moth

days before barbed wire was known

GUS wrought iron barbs upon smooth
iron wire around my grandfather's

On the eighty north of this lived
the expert carpenter OF our world,
Joseph Shadinger. He lived in a
tiny house and had large family of
children. There were Arthur, Grant,
Mark and Fred, and two girls, Edith,
who married Bud Ruse, and Allie
who married Francis Slaybaugh. The
Shadinger boys were the nimrods of
the community and brought in more
game than all our neighbOrs COM

I'D a guerilla warfare with him for
many years. Farron kept one or two |

Thursday evening at the Higl
School sure missed one good TIM
and we might, for want Of othel
excuses, place part of the blame
for our defeat Friday on thos'
who failed to come and help i'll
spire our boys with the fighting
spirit; although we did goot
job of it ourselves as was proved
Friday afternoon. OF course
you know we don't consider get
ting beaten anything to be
ashamed of because we could all
tell that if anyone was standing
up for old B. H. S. it was that
foot ball squad the last fifteen
minutes of the game. If you
don't believe newell, you
didn't see some Of their express
sions when the score was 40 to Z;
they were dead tired, and only 3
minutes in which to make those
80 points.
But that is past and soon to be
forgotten, and after this we wish
to see you all here, or better still
to hear you.
1t might be we'll to mention
that the team as whole certain
ly appreciated the spirit with
which the student body and the
townspeople attended the game
Friday. 1t is hard to support a
losing team all Of the time. but
the school was there as unit,
ready to back the team at all
plays. If each student and spec
tator- knew how the team valued
his or her support the whole town
would turn out to back the col
ors. 1t is equally hard for a team
to suffer continual defeat, but ii
the players are willing to keep
trying, the school should at least
come out and root.
We thank you.
