When Cupid Shied His Little Lance

 

Mr. Toastmaster, Alumni:

 

When cupid shies his little lance, something usually happens – be it in high school or the world at large.  It seems to be that mischievous little god’s business to make unsuspecting people fall in love.  This blissful condition – so ably defined by Geo. Fitch, as a “squashy condition of the head produced by an appetite in the heart” causes great and mighty changes in the lives of the victims.  It is a grand thing for the heart, enlarging it to many times its former capacity, but what it does for the mind is mournful to contemplate.

 

Love blinds the eyes, warps the judgement, spoils the taste, weakens the will and upsets the fondest parental plans.  It also softens the disposition, takes the sting out of misfortune, makes hard work worth while, and fills the land with happy homes.

 

It preys upon the old and the young alike, the dignified teacher as well as the susceptible pupil.  In proof that this wonderful little god has always been a favorite of Scottsburg High School and has received great encouragement and proper treatment from faculty and students, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

 

Of the 130 graduates of SHS not counting the present class, more than one third have succumbed to Cupid’s darts.  Three classes, 1900, ’01, and ’05 have been entirely depopulated by the irresistible god.  The majority of classes ’98, ’02 and ’06 walked blindly but joyfully into his net – and classes ’03, ’07 and ’09 gave cupid great returns.

 

No class has been entirely slighted by Cupid, yet it seems that ’10 and ’11 were by no means favorites.  Not however because there were not anxious and willing subjects in these classes, for Flora Garriott, Bruce McCullough, Leland Hougland, Lynn Craig and Prince Hazzard were members – but cupid’s quiver carried mostly the leaden tipped darts.  Only three fatalities are recorded.

 

Of those who have married and “lived happily ever afterward” the following are worthy representatives – Mr. and Mrs. Jurgens, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Vest, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Wells, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Reid, and Mr. and Mrs. Garriott Cravens.

 

A number of Bachelor maids who perhaps have had chances, have resisted all assaults of cupid.  Those who stand high in the Noble Order of Bachelors are Permelia Boyd, Rhoda Hazzard, Bertha Craven, Janie Collins, Maude Higgins, Ethel Hubbard, Mary Thomas and Bernice Darrah.

 

Among the “Spinster Gentlemen” we find Bro. Martin, “Shorty” Hardy, Jonesy, Bob Morgan, Bill Gamble, and Morton Higgins.  Nothing they can do will induce Cupid to bestow any favors upon them.  They are lost.

 

The incurables, or those chronically in love, number Hudson Biery, Wm. Bina Johnson, Lee Craig, Harry Wells, Mabel Dalton, Isis Hougland and Hazel Bennett, Lambert Dismore.  If anyone knows of anything to allay or mitigate such a condition, he will be regarded as a public benefactor if he can help these love-lorn creatures.

 

Cupid has his watchful eye on all of the class of 1913, and three-fourths of the faculty, also Merle Storen, Mary Gladden, Clarice Morgan, Halcy Hughbanks, Bess Hubbard and Grace Wells.  From present indications the fatalities will be appalling.

 

Here’s to them!!

 

Love can be cured but it isn’t worthwhile.  It is far too fascinating in its terrible progress.  Those who know, say that Love makes the world go round, but Prof. Reeves says it does more than that.  It makes the world go round & round & round & round with a perfectly divine dizziness.  If it does all this, no wonder cupid has been enthroned as the patron saint of Scottsburg High School and therefore will be indefinitely continue to “shy his little lance.”
