Olartpr n recognition of three years of faith- ful service in the High School, this volume of The Spec- tator is affectionately dedicated as an expression of our re- spect and gratitude by ®lyp ffilaaa of Naugijt Nine 023011 Prpfatcrg Once more we venture to throw ourselves upon the tender mercies of the public in presenting this fifth volume of the Spectator. We sin- cerely hope that this volume will be as warmly welcomed as the four which have preceded it, and that our friends will be as indulgent in criticising its many imperfections as they have been heretofore. Mmy me.-n ' osfj of the ' 09 Staff have been intimately connected with three previous publications and have thereby acquired experience that has proven invaluable in the present work. This, we believe, should bespeak the favor of the public for the naught-nine Annual. We have fondly hoped to make this book a memorial fit to look back upon with pride in after years, and we have earnestly endeavored to incorporate in it only that which will be pleasing to our hiends and school-mates. While we have found it impossible to cover every phase of school life as fully as might be desired, yet we have faithfully tried to represent every interest in its proper proportion. In the preparation of this work, we have found the students of the High School always eager to lend a helping hand; we owe much to them for actual help and encouragement throughout the year as we have labored to gather the material to fill these pages. The business men of Angola have shown their usual loyalty to the school by their liberal patronage of our advertising department. To all these we can not express our thanks in words; our feeling of gratitude, we trust, is in proportion to the great amount of assistan ce we have received. The Staff q All Hail! O, Book of vast wealth and interest to every Senior ' s eye! May you always be: Spectacular Pinted we 1 Everlastingly witty Clever beyong compare Tastefully decorated Always as good as you are this year Turned out on time Originally complete Received well Four years have we dreamed of Commencement Day, And hoped and feared, then hoped and feared again. Restless as a band of long imprisoned men, We ' ve fretted, fumed — yet hastened on our way. No minute have we spent in turning back. But steadfastly we ' ve kept our eyes ahead; And faithfully we ' ve followed where they led. We ' ve won success — not peace! alack! alack! The rainbow ' s end we fondly hoped to find And with it all those famous pots of gold. With fainting hearts, we see the end ahead — Much more distinct, yet farther off than e ' er. Shall we press on, or turning, fall behind. And helplessly give up in rank despair? i p rtator §taff Business Managers Robert Patterson, ' 09 John Culver, ' 1 Editor-in-Chief Charles E.

' 09 r rttng The Seniors of the High School sub- mit the Spectator to the public trusting that it will be received in the spirit in and for which, the book was prepared. We, the Seniors, wish to thank the members of the High School who helped us so faithfully to make the Annual a success. TTie Spectator, dear readers, comes to you with your school life on its pages. Be it good or bad will you accept it. re- membering that we are just one of you with like capabilities and powers and we have done the best we can? And so we salute you. Sad is the parting, and sorrowful The thought of future days — With school friends scattered asunder, Following life ' s countless ways. But I can wait with patience, In hope that some classmate may Bring but a branch of laurel On our final reunion day. (HonvBt of tu g Our course of study is arranged to meet the demands life places upon the student. Every subject taught is made as practical as possible. An effort is made to eliminate many things which will not be of value to the student after leaving school. If the student wishes to enter college, he has the privilege of electing subjects in the Senior year especially arranged to meet this need. If on the other hand he wishes to enter at once upon the active duties of life, he may elect subjects more suited to this end. It is the intention to continually improve the course to meet the needs of these two classes. The high school work is arranged according to the departmental plan. The program for 1909-1910 will be so arranged that some one teacher will have charge of each department. This plan will give to the school a specialist in each subject. A pupil may enter the high school by, 1 . Presenting a diploma showing graduation from the grammar school. 2. By giving satisfactory evidence of having completed the work of the first eight grades in some other school. 3. By examination. In order to graduate from the high school a pupil must have 34 credits. A credit means satisfactory work done in one subject for one-half year, except in Music and Drawing, in which one credit is given for one full year ' s work. The standing of the pupil is based on daily work and examination combined. An accurate record is made of the work done each day, followed by a brief monthly test. If the grades in all subjects average 90 ' , or more the pupil is exempt from the final examination, provided that his deportment grade is high. OUTLINE OF WORK The course in mathematics consists of three and one-half years ' work. Algebra is taught in the Freshman and the first semester of the Sophomore years. Geometry begins at the second semester of the Sophomore year and is completed in the Junior year. Commercial arithmetic is given during the last half of the Senior year. This latter work is intended to provide a review of the fundamental principles of arith- metic and to emphasize problems and terms most generally met in the business world. Speed and accuracy are insisted upon. SCIENCE Botany is taken up in the Freshman year. The study of plant life in the vicinity of Angola is emphasized. The compound microscope is not used by the pupil, but is occasionally used by the teacher before the class to give an idea of the minute structure of the plant. The last two months are used for the study and classification of flowers. Physics is taught in the Junior year. The principles of physics which can best be applied to the home and life of the student receive the greatest attention. The work of the recitation is supplemented by laboratory work suited to the needs and the ability of the class. Physical geography is taught during the first half and commercial geography during the second half of the Senior year. These subjects afford many oppor- tunities to study questions of direct practical value. Chemistry is taught in the Senior year. A great amount of laboratory work is done; it is believed that the best way to become familiar with compounds is to study them in the laboratory, rather than to read the description from a text-book. The work in chemistry is planned to assist those interested in agriculture, domestic science or any subject in which the fundamental principles of chemistry are needed. HISTORY Ancient history is studied in the Sophomore year, especial emphasis being placed on the history of Greece and Rome. In the Junior year mediaeval and modern history will be taught, the history of the English people being emphasized. United States history and civics are taught in the Senior year. Our purpose in this is to give a thorough knowledge of the history of our country followed by a practical study of the present political condition of our government. MUSIC The work in music has been under the direction of Miss Louise Steagall, who has placed especial emphasis on the fundamental principles of music. Considerable time was spent in reading music and in rote singing, and much has been accom- plished along these lines. It will be the purpose next year to place more emphasis on chorus work. DRAWING A hundred years ago children had opportunity to participate in many phases of industrial life. Every child had certain household duties to perform. They lived in an environment of industry, invention and progress, which occupied their minds and removed from them many temptations so often met to-day. As a result they grew into manhood and womanhood with an early training which fitted them to begin at once the duties of life and citizenship. To-day this is changed. The child has but few household duties to perform and grows mto manhood or woman- hood poorly prepared to take his or her place in the activities of life unless the public school comes to the rescue and prepares him along this line. Our work m drawing is being organized to assist in overcoming these defects. Drawmg and industrial work will be combined, thus laying the foundation for a more extended industrial training; and it is hoped that we will soon be prepared to accomplish much in domestic science and manual training. LATIN The Latin course includes four years of high school work, the last of which is elective. Considering the value of the Latin language in a course of liberal education, the prime object of our work is to give the student a practical knowledge of the subject which will enable him to read accurately and with a certain degree of fluency. Latin I. During the first year the fundamental principles of Latin Grammar are studied to give the pupil an accurate idea of the peculiarities of Latin Grammar. Especial emphasis is placed on the declensions and conjugations, and an effort is made to have the student enlarge his vocabulary as much as possible. Latin II. Four books of Caesar are read during the second year and the student is taught to apply the rules of syntax, learned in the first year, to the reading of ordinary Latin. Latin IIL During the third year four orations of Cicero against Catiline are read, together with the " Pro Archia Poeta Oratio " and the " Pro M. Marcello Oratio. " In order to keep the principles of Latin syntax ever before the mind of the pupil, prose composition is studied one day in each week throughout the year. Latin IV. Six books of Vergil are read during the fourth year. Scansion and versification are studied and a certain part of each day is devoted to sight read- ing to enable the pupil to read with greater ease. ENGLISH Throughout the four years ' work in English a twofold purpose is kept in mind — to develop the power of (I) Expression and (2) Literary interpretation. The work in Rhetoric in the first two years is replaced by the History of Literature in the last two years — History of American Literature being taken up in the Junior year and that of English Literature in the Senior year. The work in composition extends through the four years, not less than one period each week being devoted to that branch of the work. The following classics are studied carefully : Freshman Year — Cooper ' s Last of the Mohicans, Goldsmith ' s Vicar of Wakefield, Shakespeare ' s Merchant of Venice, Hawthorne ' s House of Seven Gables, Lowell ' s Vision of Sir Launfal. Sophomore Year — Scott ' s Ivanhoe, Shakespeare ' s Julius Caesar, Coleridge ' s .Ancient Mariner, Scott ' s Lady of the Lake, Franklin ' s Autobiography, Arnold ' s Sohrab and Rustum. Junior Year — Tennyson ' s Idyls of the King, Dryden ' s Palamon and Arcite, Shakespeare ' s Macbeth, Eliot ' s Silas Marner, Ruskin ' s Sesame and Lilies, Shake- speare ' s Twelfth Night. Senior Year — Milton ' s Minor Poems, Addison ' s De Coverley Papers, Macaulay ' s Milton, Addison, and Johnson, Shakespeare ' s Hamlet, Palgrave ' s Golden Treasury, Anderson ' s Word Study. In addition to the above-named classics to be studied carefully, two or three books are read outside the usual work by each class. The course in English is intended to give students a rather comprehensive view of English and American Literature with a glimpse, from time to time, into that of other countries. GERMAN A four years ' course in German is offered. German I — The chief object of the first year ' s study of German is to secure a good working knowledge of the grammar and the ability to make use, in con- versation, of the vocabulary. Correct pronunciation is insisted upon from the be- ginning. The text used is Spanhoofd ' s Lehrbuch der Deutschen Sprache. German II — In the second year a deeper and more thorough study of the grammar is made, Thomas ' German Grammar being the text. Storm ' s Immensee and Grimm ' s Kinder und Hausmaerchen are read and are made the basis of frequent exercises in conversation. CeTman III and IV have been necessarily combined this year. The work has been chiefly the study of two of the best classics in German literature, Schiller ' s Jungfrau von Orleans and Goethe ' s Hermann und Dorothea. In addition to this work a study of the history of German literature has been made from Bernhardt ' s Deutsche Litteraturgeschichte. During the second semester one day of each week has been set apart espe- cially for conversation and composition. A number of the German students have taken an active part in a German Club organized among the teachers and students. TEACHERS ' MEETINGS Teachers ' meetings were held the first Monday of each month at 4:00 P. M. No effort was made to conduct these meetings along the line of literary clubs, but the purpose was to discuss problems and questions which were of direct value to the school. The purpose, throughout the year, has been to organize the school according to one general plan, which means a system of schools in which all are working toward one ideal. The teachers have been very flexible in their notions and always willing to surrender any individual opinions, if by so doing they could assist in improving the general organization of the school. With this continued co-operation much has been accomplished and much greater results are expected in the future. THE TRAINING SCHOOL According to the requirements of a new state law, arrangements were made by the Tri-State College, whereby the Educational Department of that institution is connected with our public schools for the training of teachers. This has proved to be very helpful both to the public schools and the college, and the teachers and pupils greatly appreciate the privilege of this co-operation. Three teachers, whose qualifications and experience must meet the demands of the State Board of Educa- tion, are selected as critic teachers. College students are permitted to visit the classes conducted by these teachers and observe the work done. This stimulates the teachers to do their best and has a wholesome effect on every teacher and pupil in the building. nnnnn 3 ■s 1 i ' 1 i s • s S CO S f 1 i - i ON E V e .2 " j: j: -c i I llll? :§ .!2 ;= .2 U) UJ ■ J 1 J 3 1 1 1 i a c c J " i i Vj o c3 ■i 4 i t s 1 o 1 o i s J .s 5 .s . j3 i 2- J J 3 J 1 i 1 ■s, -1 s 1 c3 i§ 1- l-l; S ' S ., b tsi io I J 1 1 .1 I .1 ■i 1 llll Ml 1 1 hi D jj c : 1 fe r b s ■a l-lt.

He has always taken an active interest in the school and its welfare. He has not been content to keep the building in a clean and sanitary condition, but has entered into school life at other levels. When the high school band was organized and needed a competent director, Mr. Wilcox cheerfully responded to the request of the boys to act in that capacity. We have always found him anxious to serve us in every way. in return for all these favors he has earned the respect and gratitude of everyone in the building, from the first grade to the high school. m - - ■ ;„ H i w ' k r. - ii W t 4 . k ffmOr- .»■, i ' jPjjr - !s H Ss .«. , • J • (j t A. % B, mvis Behold a band that ' s wondrous fair— A muhitude of creatures rare! ffi Vy •?» T «» ' • ' - ' n ' •S«y; ' W - fVf (;« r ' " m Tt . f » ' f f -«l» ' fc, ' ' jr : fi«»-r v An army ready for the march, A host to do and dare — No thought of failure written here, No feehng of despair.

She was born in LaGrange, Indiana, but afterwards removed to Steuben Co., thence to An- gola. She has been one of the " main stays " of the class in times of turmoil and vexation, and has become noted for her peaceable and kindly dis- position. Frederika Sybl Wambaugh. Sept. 1, 1890. Fredie has become noted among us as the Jenny Lind of the class. She was the leading alto in the Japanese operetta given by the girls this year, and we steadfastly believe that she will sing her way into a position of great prominence before many years roll around. Robert Giles Patterson. Aug. 21, 1891. Robert is the business man of the class. Fa- mous for being treasurer of half a dozen organiza- tions, manager of both boys ' and girls ' basket ball teams, and business manager of the Spectator. We have long been accustomed to refer to him for ad- vice on any business proposition. Mildred Mary Shank. Feb. 12, 1891. Though Mildred has become famous in many ways, she has perhaps won most fame as a Latin student. We shall also remember her as " Biddy " in " Biddy at College, " which was presented by the class last year, and which was so universally appreciated. Flossie Dewees Butz. Mar. 14, 1891. Already claimed, it is said, by out-of-town par- ties, but may be retained if the right man appears. She never worries, is always happy and ' ives to make others happy. Elsie Catherine Zabst. April 24, 1891. Elsie was born near Angola, but has spent most of her life in our midst. She has been a very busy girl this year, being obliged to make up con- siderable back work. She is a musician and is said to be a breaker of hearts. Arthur Pharaoh Honess. Aug. 10, 1887. The fact that we have twice chosen Arthur president of the class shows in what esteem he is universally held. He is noted as an orator, fisher- man — and for the fact that he was never known to flunk. Mabel Adelaide Mugg. Feb. 28, 1892. The best mathematician in school. We have often delighted to hear her explain knotty prob- lems in geometry, algebra and arithmetic. Mabel will become a teacher and we are sure she will be among the very best. Ruth Parish Manahan. July 12, 1891. Ruth is entitled to a place in the Hall of Fame as a basket ball star and best girl debater. She is also fond of out-of-door sports and is a great lover of Shakespeare. We also found out last year that her brown eyes are capable of looking through the most intricate geometry problem. Thomas Wardley Pocock. July 10, 1890. " Pokey " is not the word that describes his actions, though we have come to know him famil- iarly by that appellation. He has won fame as an athlete and expects some day to become a shin- ing light in the legal profession. Byron Levi Boyers. Aug. 14, 1890. Although born in the city of Metz, Byron now shows no ill effects of it. He has accom- plished so much by hard work and close observa- tion since he has been with us that he is now one of the most prominent members of the class. Linda Ethelda Peachey. April 4, 1890. Linda was born near Hamilton, but has been with us all the four years. Gushing and lively, she takes the cake for posing and is in demand all the time. She purposes to spend her future in the far West. 2023011 Florence Gertrude Parsell. Aug. 29, ' 91 The pleasing appearance of this annual as well as the two preceding is a result of Florence ' s work more than that of any other one person. We have relied upon her almost solely for the drawings and she has cheerfully responded to our wishes. We have also found her a very delightful entertainer. Altina Maude Lane. July 22, 189L One of the strongest moving spirits of the class, she has helped to mould and direct our policies from year to year. She has been prominent among us in every department of school life, socially, in- tellectually and otherwise. In college next year, we predict that she will enjoy the same degree of popularity as here. Maurice Allen Williamson. Jan. 13, 1890. But a few more years and all the secrets and mysteries of electricity will have been divulged. " Icabod " enters the field with a firm and stead- fast resolution to open up all those avenues of knowledge which have heretofore been closed up with ignorance and fear. Nothing will escape his all-seeing eye and all-pervading intellect. Louis George Hendry. Feb. 9, 189 J. Louie ' s loud laugh, lengthy anatomy and state- ly form have become so well known about the building that he will be much missed next year. He is our best all-round athlete, hunter and Latin student. Will study law and become a bachelor and later a Judge. Mildred Kathleen Dole. May 2], 1890, Chosen as leading soprano in the Japanese oper- etta, guest of honor at the inauguration of Gov. Marshall, and Wayne ' s " Leading Lady, " Mildred has a right to feel that many honors have been thrust upon her. We hope the future will be as kind to her as the past has been. Hazel Glenn Freligh. June 30, 1890. Hazel loves mathematics and English history. Her chief characteristic is patience. She has al- ways taken great interest in school, but at the same time has had an interest that is all-absorbing outside. Wayne Henry McKillen. May 29. 1890. " Doleful " he may be, but not in the ordinarily accepted sense of the term. He is the wit of the class, has marked ability as a musical director (in the Pickwickian sense) and is a special favorite of Mildred ' s. Grace LizETTE JuNOD. April 11, 1891. Grace has become famous for the profound silence which she consistently and persistently main- tains. She is also one of our best mathematicians and an all-round student. She expects to become a teacher. i Leila Fern Treese. Mar. 23, 1891. Our modest, silent Fern, like the plant from which she takes her name, never seeks publicity and loves to toil on unmolested. She is a general favorite and has found a " cozy corner " in the heart of each one of us. SS Fred Weir Elya. June 24, 1 890. " Bon Bon Buddy " — the original chocolate drop, known in basket ball as " the invincible guard " — when his hand once touches the ball, ' ■ all heaven and yarth can ' t make him let go. " His grip on his school work has always been as firm as that on the ball. LuRA Blanche Stayner. June 9, 1891. Blanche has been with us all through the four years. She never speaks unless she has something important to say, and, after saying it, again re- lapses into profound silence. She will become a teacher. Daisy May Mallory. Sept. 5, 1889. One of the very best students in the class — modest, industrious, and dignified. She has dis- played marked literary ability and will, no doubt, Eom;time be heard from in the literary world. Mary Achsa Peachey. June 9, 1890. Achsa came to us from Hamilton, Ind., and although one of the most recent additions to the class, she has won the hearts of all, especially of cne known familiarly as " Buddie. " WiLMA Janette Carpenter. Mar. 31, 1891 Wilma was born in Angola, and although she has spent some time in the country, has always been a member of the ' 09 class. Her good-natured smile will be much missed next year, but she will take it with her to delight the hearts of the children of some school, as she intends to become a teacher. Charles Edwin Shank. Charles has been our official poet, dramatist, and reader during the past four years. Among his many services to the class was the writing, directing and staging of our Junior play — " Biddy at College. " As a recognition of his marked abil- ity, we were glad to unanimously elect him as Ed. -in-chief of this year ' s " Spectator. " Gladys Louise Snyder. Oct. 12, 1891. When skating is good, Gladys is at her best, for she is said to be one of the best skaters in school. She is also as noted as a student, and never known to " bluff. " We are accustomed to number Gladys among our best altos. Ruth Elezan Rakestraw. April 20, 1 89 1 . We are justly proud to have as a member of our class the best pianist who has ever graduated from the high school. She has always been ready to play our accompaniments, no matter how tire- some they were. Her jolly disposition and frank manner have made her a favorite of all. Arlo Ellsworth Wyrick. Sept. 23, 1889. A. Wyrick joined us when we were Sopho- mores and since that time has been exceedingly nigh unto us. Arlo has shown himself capable of doing " stunts " — one of which was to demon- strate the feasibility of doing four years of German in two years. ILA White. Feb. 27, 1892. Ila is the smallest, best, and youngest member of the class. Her intellect does not compare to the size of her body ; for we all recognize in her an in- tellect of giant proportions. After leaving A. H.S., she will become a teacher. Odie Watkins. March 27, 1890. Odie completed the three years ' course at Hamilton, Ind., last year, then joined us at the beginning of the year. She is one of our basket ball stars, also a hard worker in school, and cheer- ful and good-natured. Don Sheridan Hamlin. Nov. 16, 1891. Don is known better by what he does than by what he says. He was captain of the basket ball team and proved himself to be one of the best forwards in this part of the State. He is worth one hundred per cent, as a student and is always pleasant and companionable. Velma Swift. March 20, 1890. To do a thing " Swiftly " is to do it well. This we have learned from one year ' s association with Velma. The first three years of her high school course were completed at Hamilton, Indiana. Edna Lugenia Lash. April 3, 1890. A model student of whom many good thmgs might be said. She has always been faithful in her work and loyal to the class. We predict that she will meet with the success which she deserves. mxxov IpiirrtP O reverie time of high school days — The golden lime of eve- Musing as the sun sinks low. And the memories weave. Dream-lhoughls flii through the Senior ' s mind — In his eyes is a far-away look. He is thinking of life in the Freshman year. And the " quizzes " in English he look. ' Tis a gay, happy lime — the Freshman year — The time when the taper " s lit. The heart beats young, all hopes lie ahead. And everyone thinks he ' s " It. " Next the Sophomore year, when the light flames high And the " rah, rah " spirits show. Ah! no. high school time is half so dear— So full of life and " go. " How swiftly the time does speed away! We ' re in our Junior year. The candle flickers — but friendships hold. And there ' s no cause to fear. Our Senior year! Tcmpus Fugil! ' Tis true! And yet we ' ve hardly begun! How dim is the light!

Although our class has diminished in number, yet we have risen above the standard in knowledge. We have been unfortunate in losing one member of our class, Wilma Ellis, who for two years shared with us the joys and sorrows common to high school students. But we have added one member, Frank Fast, who has succeeded in taking this burden upon his shoulders. The three programs which we have given since we started in high school have been counted among the best ever given by any class. One member of our class is known to fame not only at school but abroad, for he has won two medals by his elocutionary ability. Our motto, " Energy wins the way, " has been lived up to by all the mem- bers of the class of 1910 so far, and we expect to continue to follow it in the future. We expect to rely upon our energy to win our successes in whatever field of endeavor we enter. In one more year the high school will have a Senior Class of which it may well be proud; for we intend to carry our resolution through the Senior year and finish with all the honor due to a graduating class. What is more, we mean to so deport ourselves as to be worthy of that honor. We here further resolve to divest ourselves of all those follies which may have happened to cling to us even to this time and to become Seniors not only in name, but also in actions. — LuciLE Smith. 3luntnr OIlaBB fa m We are a class, the best on earth — There never has one equaled us, Indeed, none ever can. In number we are just fifteen, And merry as can be; Our fame is great within the school, As all can plainly see. As for motto, which all should have, We are fitted out O. K. It is a very goodly phrase— " Energy wins the way. " Of all the emblems of A. H. S. There ' s none that shine so bright As those in care of the class of ' ten. Our colors, old rose and white. Next year we will be at the top. And as Seniors take our stand. But we ' ll always be loyal to A. H.

With but five boys they blossomed forth. With beauty all aflame. opl|0mnr? (Elaaa lliatorg The Sophomore class had its beginning near the close of the 1 9th century. Only a few of the original number are now with us. It is rumored that a dynasty of tyrants known as " grade teachers " made away with the rest. However, new members entered to fill up our ranks, so that when we entered high school we were the largest, and perhaps the greenest, class there. Now, having lost yet others of our number, we consider ourselves the few chosen from the many; yet we still have an enrollment of thirty-one. Of this num- ber only five belong to the " unfair " sex, but these five boys are possessed of such nimbleness of limb and restlessness of disposition that they can make enough dis- turbance for a regiment. Much might be said of our achievements both in and out of school, but con- sidering modesty one of the cardinal virtues, and feeling it our duty to set a good example for the Freshmen, we refrain from making any statements of our prowess. So much for what we are and what we have been. What we shall be remains to be seen. We are morally certain, however, that we shall be Juniors next year and Seniors the year after. After we leave high school and enter upon broader fields of activity, we are sure that none of our class will forget our motto: " Im- possible is un-American. " We feel sure that our class will be heard from as achieving success in every line of work that is taken up. — Esther Lenore Williamson.

Ours is probably the largest class that ever entered Angola High School, numbering fifty-three. In the eighth grade some of us were wise and some otherwise, but twenty-five were wise enough to gain admission to the high school last fall, and throughout the year have shown ourselves to be a band of sturdy workers. A great many have joined us from the district schools of the county. One of the country pupils has already become noted in the realm of science by allowing himself to be hypnotized before the school. It is also said that he has read and experimented extensively in this subject. Early in the year a class meeting was called to elect officers. Two of the persons upon whom honors were then thrust soon after left school and others had to be chosen. The Freshman program was given in January, and was a great success. Our band and orchestra were two of the " hits of the season. " The class has also been active in athletics, having two boys ' basket ball teams. We are an active class generally and expect to become more active and aggressive each year. — Danid Palfryman. Jr sliman (ElaHH f n?m Yes, we ' re the Fre.hman class ' 09 And a happy class we are.

This year Ethel Dutter, Elma Oliver, Gail Aldrich, Millie Harman, William Harman, and Clyde Snelenberger came to finish the grade with us. The Eighth Grade is noted for its fine work in drawing, and contains many artists of ability. We have also several pianists and one violinist, beside con- siderable talent in vocal music ; although Miss Steagall scolds us because we are always behind in music. Most of us expect to complete the high school course ; and so we hope in 1913 to have the largest and best graduating class the Angola High School has ever seen. — HISTORIAN. iEtglitli rab?

Atl kttrB The work in athletics has been very successful this year as the results of the games show. We believe that a strong athletic association is of great value to any high school. We appreciate the fact that physical culture is a very important factor in the moral as well as the physical development of the young. No pupil is per- mitted to enter any contest who does not have satisfactory grades in the work re- quired and who does not maintain a good moral standing in the school and com- munity. Some member of the faculty accompanies the teams at every contest and is present at every practice. We are proud of the fact that on every out-of-town trip made by the teams they have conducted themselves as ladies and gentlemen with no semblance of rowdyism. It is hoped that the school will soon have access to a gymnasium where this work can be carried on more successfully. BASKET BALL Owmg to the fact that no football team was organized, the basket ball team was organized early in the season : as a result of this the team was able to get some good out-of-door practice, the first two games also being played outside. Then when the cold weather came, arrangements were made by the Athletic Association by which the Armory Hall was secured for games and practice during the remainder of the season. After a few practice games, the first team was selected from the boys who came out for practice regularly. Prof. Maple was selected to coach the team and Prof. Carter was elected manager, with Robert Patterson as assistant. Don Hamlin was elected captain. Later a second team and two Freshman teams were organized from the remamder of the basket ball squad. The girls finally became interested and organized two teams, the " Reds " and the " Blues. " After having played a number of practice games, they decided to play some of the neighboring high schools and, considering the strength of the teams against which they played, made a very creditable showing. 8 . «J(F i i A la- kpt lall rh Jinlp At Angola. . .

TRACK AND FIELD No track team was organized because most of the time was devoted to base ball ; yet we feel sure that a good team could have been organized, for a number of the boys proved themselves worthy of becoming good sprinters as well as good in jumping and vaulting; in fact, every form of athletics was well represented. TENNIS The Athletic Association held a meeting and decided that a good tennis court should be constructed, and a committee was appointed to see that the plans were carried out and all the necessary equipment bought. Everything was made ready as soon as possible and it seemed that by the enthusiasm shown everybody enjoyed it. Sramattrs The Angola High School has no dramatic organization, but next year it is to be hoped that a club or society of this sort will find its place in the school and remain permanently. Many dramatic incidents have taken place in school during the past year, and surely the remarkable display of talent, especially when the professors are not watch- ing, would be sufficient to cause any theatrical manager to sit up and take notice. The first dramatic production of the school year was given by the Senior boys as a number of the Senior program. With " twinkling " feet and the most killing glances the boys, dressed as typical (?) Gibson girls, sang, " Why do they call me a Gibson girl? " Charles Shank as " Rosebud, " the dainty soubrette, looked and acted the part perfectly. This feature was pronounced by all who witnessed it, to be the " hit " of the season. On October 30, 1 908, the Juniors presented a play called " Uncle Dick ' s Mistake, " with J. Dale Ellithorpe in the title role. This play was considered the best ever given by the Class of ' 10, and was greatly enjoyed by all present. The Boys of the high school gave a minstrel show during the latter part of February. An overture, six solos and a monologue constituted the program. This entertainment is said to be the best ever given by the High School Boys. Under the direction of Miss Gould the High School Girls gave Charles Vincent ' s operetta, " The Japanese Girl. " The Girls acquitted themselves with credit and secured many flattering congratulations. " I hold the world but as the world, A stage, where every man must play his part. " — Shakespeare. 91 1 a 1 ■ f , 2 B Big; Jl i fflT Hj ittiiiBIII 0nrt Dryden says that " Heaven ' s greatness no society can bear. " He means that there are no particular sects, but that the social spirit binds all together with a feeling of good will. If this be tru:, Angola High School must be an ideal place, for there has been no time in the past history of the school when there has been such free interccurse, both in quantity and quality, as exists between the different classes at the present time. The social functions, in which a!l classes participat; equally, are the usual receptions — one given by the girls to the boys after their annual program ; and one by the boy: to the girls, after their program. ft goes without saying that everyone concerned enjoys fhese receptions. The first Senior class party was given at the home of Florence Parsell, which was a rece-tion for an honored guest. All present will long remember the events of the evening, not the least enjoyable of which was a delightful marshmallow roast. The different " societies " in the class have had numerous " bob-loads, " " hayracks, " etc., out to the beautiful Lake James. Among the most pleasant little parties given by the Junior class were: A surprise on Miss Cline and a birthday party for Warren Goodwin. They have had many other little impromptu affairs that afforded much enjoyment for all. The Sophomore " Lemon Club " has endeavored to keep up the society record of its class, and has been successful in a remarkable degree. The large Freshman class has spent the year in getting acquainted. They now seem to be in a fair way to get into society next year and we shall no doubt hear much from them then. Individual members of the class have occasionally broken into social events engineered by the other classes and have in each case shown themselves very interesting socially. Every year closes with a gigantic picnic at Lake James. This time-honored affair is he ' d on Saturday after school closes, and is participated in by the Seniors, Juniors, and faculty. — Frederika Wambaugh. MlXBU In addition to the regular work in music as provided for in the course of study, we have done some special work, both vocal and instrumental. The Senior Glee Club was organized at the beginning of the year and has been listened to with enthusiasm. Our most extensive effort m special muiic was the Japanese operetta which was put on in May under the direction of Miss Gould and Prof. Harshman. The High School Band consists of twelve members directed by Albert Wilcox. We feel sure that our band is one of the best in the state. They have been very obliging, and ready to play for us on any occasion. The members of the band are : Lee Hirsch, Piccolo Imo Smith, Cornet Heber Klink, Clarionet David Palfryman, Cornet Maurice Williamson, Clarionet Fcrest Tarr, Alto Leighton Wells, Clarionet Dale Ellithorpe, Trombone Chfton Mugg.

He here shall find as green a lot As any school on earth has got. By teachers ' help they ' re guided through By upper-classmen aided, too. There ' ll come a time some distant day, When they ' ll see the error of their way. They ' ll lay aside their Freshman tricks And reason with their folly mix. LITERARY PROGRAMS It has been the custom heretofore for each class to give one program during the year. Then the boys, girls, and faculty followed in their turn. The classes gave their programs as usual; but the boys, desiring to outdo any previous enter- tainment given in the school, conceived the idea of putting on a minstrel show. This they did with such marked success that the girls felt it would indeed be hard for them to equal it. After much deliberation, the girls finally hit upon the idea of getting up a Japanese operetta. The intention at first was merely to give it in the assembly-room as a regular monthly program and under the direction of Miss Gould. But as the work progressed and everyone saw how pleasing it would be when presented, it was decided to put the operetta on at the opera house and get some talented person out of school to aid Miss Gould. Prof. Harshman of the College kindly consented to give us his aid, and drilled the choruses a number of times. When the time came for the entertainment to be given, a large crowd was in attendance and everyone was highly pleased. It was one of those things which happen only once during one ' s high school experience. THE LIBRARY A small admission fee was charged at each of the entertainments given during the year, and with the money thus obtained new books were added to the library. It was thought best to invest a considerable part of the money in reference books for the high school alone, but most of the money raised went to supply books of general interest for the entire school. We now have a very respectable library of several hundred volumes, and if as many volumes are added each succeeding year as were added this year, our library will soon be one of the best in any high school in Northern Indiana. John Culver, ' 09, was appointed librarian, and gave out and received books on Mondays and Thursdays. mn9 t t (UtrruB — Florence Parsell, ' 09. It was nearly sunrise on that eventful morning when Johnny, sunburned and barefooted, slipped out of the house and faced the world for himself. At the gate he stopped, took one long look at the farmyard and house, then stalked olT down the dusty road. Johnny believed he had been grossly wronged. It was circus day, and father had said he must finish digging those potatoes. Why couldn ' t those potatoes wait until some other day! He had thought it all over and decided to see that circus even if he had to run away. So here he was with some cookies in a sack and seven shining pennies in his pocket, actually on his way. It was a long walk for a little boy, but after several rests and much hiding from the carriages of neighbors, he reached the village about noon. He followed the crowd and soon came to the show grounds. Not knowing the town boys, he wandered off alone and suddenly found himself in an enclosure between tents, face to face with a man and an enormous elephant. " Hello, youngster, " called the man. " Lost, aren ' t you? Johnny could only stare with eyes and mouth wide open. The man laughed and said, " Look here, sonny. Jumbo won ' t hurt you and if you ' ll ride him in the parade, you may see the show. " When Johnny found that his seven pennies might be kept and that he still might see the circus, all his fears of Jumbo disappeared. He sat down on the hay and nibbled his cookies while he waited. At last the time came. A splendid red and gold cloth was thrown over the little fellow ' s shoulders and he was helped to the gorgeous basket on Jumbo ' s back. The day was hot and the animals were uneasy. The parade began. Down the street they went, Johnny enjoying his glory to the fullest extent, when a dog ran out from the crowd and began snapping at Jumbo ' s heels. The heat had been terrible, but this was beyond endurance. The great animal turned and striking right and left with his huge trunk, set off at a great pace. Everyone shouted and called, but this only added to Jumbo ' s annoyance. The crowd gave way before him and joined in the chase behind. On he went out into the country with a very much frightened little boy cling- ing to the basket on his back. O how he wished himself back in the potato patch ! When he gained courage to look out, he found that he was rapidly nearing that very patch. There was the hay-field and the men at work, and there by the orchard was the brook. Jumbo also spied the new hay and the running water. He was very tired by this time ; his pace slackened and he lumbered straight through Johnny ' s back yard, down the lane and across the orchard. Father came running from the field and mother appeared in the doorway. While Jumbo drank from the brook, father managed to get dusty and tearful Johnny from the basket. Just then several circus men entered the yard and Jumbo was led back to town. Father carried Johnny to the house and without a word set him down before his mother. The father tried to look grave but behind his hand he wore a very broad smile. Johnny hung his head and tears washed little streaks down his dusty face. Mother and father held a brief consultation after which Johnny was hurried into the house to undergo the ordeal of being cleaned up. In a few minutes father was at the door with the horse and buggy, for he remembered certain other circus days. What a happy little boy it was the next morning who killed one more lion each time a potato rolled from the hill and balanced ten men whenever he raised his hoe ! A S mtmarrarr — Chas. E. Shank, ' 09. There are certain events in a man ' s life that, no matter where he goes, what he says, or how old he grows, can never be forgotten. I remember very distinctly an event that took place one dreary autumn after- noon, during my university days in New England. Men say environment is one of the greatest factors in life. It must be so. The very dullness of that day seemed to be absorbed by every fibre of my body, and words of cheer or consolation had no effect upon my dreary mood. I fell to pondering over such works as " Science and Immortality, " " Wisdom ' s Relation to Morality, " and at last began reading Poe ' s " Raven. " It was in this stage of melancholia that my room-mate, Herbert Sherry, found me when he returned from his Shakesperian Seminary. His senseless jokes, droll humor, and above all, his belief in my being infallible, especially at such a time, caused me to seize my coat and " Soph " cap and trace my steps to my only plac- of refuge— the Recital Hall of the University. As I left the warmth of my room, a chilly, damp gust of wind caught the cap from off my head and a few moments later I was racing wildly along State street in hot pursuit of the emblem that designates all the members of our class a? being " Foolish. " Not until I reached the great stone steps of the Recital Hall did I ho ' d the httle piece of gray fabric in my hands, but I did so with such a grip that it would have taken a Theseus cr Hercules to have parted me from the cap. I entered the hall, and a; I closed the heavy door the university clock chimed four. It seemed as though no one cou ' d have been or ever could be so utterly miserable as myself. I seated myself by a window that overlooked the long, shadowy driveway that led to a small side-door of the hall, and imagine my consternation upon seeing a small dark figure wrapped in a long dark cloak emerge from the shadow of a tree, and enter the small door. A few moments later a part of the exquisite paneling of the great pipe-organ ;Avung open and a wizened, white-haired old man stepped out. With the alertness o a lynx he closed the panel, sprang to the organ-bench, and began peering into tSe glass which hung just above the keyboard. Fearirg lest he shou ' d see my reflection in the mirror, I shrank into the shadow cf a large marble pillar, and watched this mysterious old man. In a moment I heard the throbbing of the water-motor. The stranger took from his pc:ket a smill silver hammer and laid it on the bench beside him, then he turned on one of the hundred: of incandescent lights that trimmed the organ, and by its dim light I could ?ee him fumbling and peering among the numerous stops. It is a fact known throughout all America that the University of has the grandest pipe-organ in the land. None can surpass it in pureness and sweetness of tone or volume. The predommatmg feature of this wonderful organ is the peculiar, sorrowful, throbbi ng quality of tone of the organ when the stop " Vox Humana " is used. I have seen men cry as children and laugh like schoolboys at a recital given by some great artist when this stop was being used, so wonderful was the music. All was silent! — and the gloom of the tomb abounded. I hardly dared to breathe lest the old man should hear me. All at once the visitor drew his head down between his shoulders, two lank, slender hands were laid upon the keyboard, — and like the light of a waning star, a chord so pure and sweet came from the organ and seemed to penetrate to the depths of my very soul. The chords of music that followed are beyond my power of description. I have heard many artists play, but have never heard anything so wonderfully sweet or effective as the selection this old man played from " II Trovatore " and the rendering of the " Prayer " from " Cavalleria Rusticana. " As I stood in the shadow by the pillar, listening with all my soul to the beauti- ful tones, fearing lest one note might escape my hearing, the old man pulled out the " Vox Humana " stop, and began playing the " Miserere. " The full round tones seemed to fill the large hall with their extraordinary sweetness. I felt the hot tears start from my eyes and trickle down my cheeks, and I trembled from head to foot! So wonderful was the effect produced that I could fairly see the sighing lover in the tower, the moon rising calmly from the shadows of the dark clouds, flooding the scene with a cold silver light. I tried to call out, but my throat was dry and speech failed me ; upon trying to step into the aisle, my trembling limbs gave way and I fell to the floor in a dead faint. The next thing I remember was, that I was lying flat on my back on my own bed with a wet cloth on my forehead and Sherry bending over me peering into my face and saying in excited tones, " I gusss he ' s all over ' em now. Gee! Phil, but maybe you didn ' t give u5 some scare, thcugh. Feelin ' better now? It ' s a lucky thing that I lollowed you, or I ' m afraid you ' d have been in the coop by this time and not on ihe highest roost either! 1 he old gsnt said you hadn ' t a thing to do with the .iffair. Didn ' t even know you were in the hall and course that saved you. " " Saved me! " I asked, " What ' s the matter? How did I get here? and what ' s all this row about anyway? " Just wait until I dampen that bit of fabric on your manly brow, " said Sherry, " with a few drops of the aqua and I ' ll — " Stop that everlasting gibberish and tell me what all this means, " I said im- patiently. " Aha! His Lordship breathes freely once again. There, now, 1 guess that bump on your forehead won ' t look so bad by to-morrow. On the dead, Phil, I don ' t believe you had better know the whole story until you are — . " " Tell me all, at once, or I ' ll g t up and punch you as sure as there ' s seven kinds of medicine on the foot of the bed ! " I yelled. " Oh! if you insist, then, hart she goes — you see after you left this room in such a huff, I got to thinking that maybe I was a bit kiddish in my actions and that you, after all you had stood from me this after, might have an opinion of me like I had of old Meathead when he tipped that old maid out of the csnoe, so I grabbed u- mv hat aid ran down li th; street, but ccu ' d net find ycu: so I made a bee-line for the Recital Hall. As I ran up the steps I heard the organ and thought you were playing, but as I pushed the door open and looked in, I saw that old duffer all doubled up in a knot, playing away for dear life. I had just sat down in a chair by the door when I heard a sound as if someone was walking. I turned and looked in the direction from whence the sound came, but could see nothing. The old duffer must have heard it, too, for he turned and looked around after he had closed the organ. Honest, Phil, I never in all my life saw such a face ! all scars and gashes, and gee! Phil, his eyes! ' Bout as large as saucers, glittering and sparkling and nearly popping out of his head! I ducked my head and watched him as he sat there, but you bet, I was ready to make a dive for the door if — well — if it was necessary. As quick as a flash he turned around, jumped up on the organ- bench, snatched up a little hammer that was on the bench beside him and began pounding one of the pipes. By the one light at the keyboard I could see a little door swing open and something rolled out and fell to the floor. Like a squirrel he leaped from the bench to the floor, grabbed up the something which appeared to me to be a small white ball, and then he made a dive for the little side-door. I was bound to find out who the old duffer was; so I took a sprint around under the balcony, intending to reach the door before he did, but just as I was about to open the door, he looked up and saw me, turned and escaped by the front door. I followed as fast as I could, and while I was dodging around one of the big pillars at the rear of the hall, I stumbled over something and fell flat. I jumped to my feet and looked around to see you lying sprawled out full length and your face will never be whiter when you are dead. I called for help, and two policemen who were passing the hall came in, and with their help I got you home here in bed. The cops said that a few seconds before I called them they had landed, high and dry , tJie notorious Italian gambler and thief, Giacosa, and that they had seen him and another fellow enter this hall and had been waiting for them. Then they questioned me about you, and upon my telling them about you, they seemed to be satisfied — of course I did not know that old Giacosa had straightened that out beforehand — " " By all that ' s mysterious! " said I, " but what about the little white ball that fell from the organ-pipe? " Now, " said Sherry, " comes the part. It seems that this old Giacosa had a very dear friend back in sunny Italy whose name was Costanza. Now this Costanza was a direct descendant of that awful family of murderers, the Borgias, and that she had in her possession a pearl, which was a gift to the famous Lucretia Borgia by one of her fated lovers. When the time came for old Giacosa and his charmer to enter the state of matrimony, the young Costanza up and died. On the eve of her death she called her lover to her side and gave him the pearl, charging him never to part witli it as long as he lived. Giacosa swore he would not, and he had not sooner uttered the oath, when the fair Costanza passed away. The grief-stricken Giacosa sailed the next day for America, and found employment in a large music house in New York. " One day he was charged with having stolen a large sum of money. When the officers came to search him he was decorating a pipe for the very organ that is now in Recital Hall, When he saw the officers, he knew what it meant, so he at once drew the pearl from a little pocket in his clothing and dropped it into the pipe with the money. When the officers went to search his room, he fixed the pearl in the pipe, took the money, and obtaining permission from his guard to speak privately with a priest, made his escape. For fifteen years Giacosa has been hiding, but always hunting for the organ with the pipe that had his beloved pearl con cealed. It seems tough to have just found his treasure and to have to live like he did, then have this happen, doesn ' t it? " Yes, but where under the sun did you find all this out? " I demanded. " Jerry told me " said Sherry. " And how did Jerry find out? " I continued. " O, he was at the police station and heard the old fellow tell everything, " Sherry assured me. At this stage of our conversation, we were interrupted by " Jerry, " who told us that Giacosa had been acquitted and that the parties from whom he stole the money in New York had settled affairs, and had also furnished him with money enough to return to Italy upon learning his story. I shall never forget this event, and how Sherry ' s face looked the night he told! me of the happening in Recital Hall. Will I ever forget the chords of music that came from that organ? How they penetrated to my very soul, and still hnger, and come creeping up through the long ways of my memory to remind me of other reveries and sweet memories? This event transpired a long, long time ago, but of the many, many precious jewels in my memory ' s jewel-box, this, it seems to me, is the most rare of all. Twelve years seem to me as only one night when I think on this event — but what an elernify if we break the years up into seconds. WHKRE THE ROSES GROW In the dreary days of winter. As I daily come and go, I am thinking of the future, Wondering where the roses grow. Now, dear classmates, draw a picture. Thoughtfully and slow; Just one simple picture — Paint it where the roses grow. In the picture that you ' re painting Ask your teachers (they should know) If the place that they are holding Is that where the roses grow. Onward speed our busy footsteps, Through this life we all must go. Just one thing we ' ll ask our comrades — " Tell us where the roses grow. " When the golden dawn of morning Lights the path where all must go; There, kind friends, you ' ll find the picture Painted, where the roses grow. — A. Muriel Watkins. THE PASSING SHOW One nighl I had a funny dream And saw a funny sighl. Methought 1 saw the high school folk In an unseemly plight. They passed along in grand parade. But were so illy matched— The smallest mite to tallest knight Invariably attached. My Senior dignity took wings As I watched them come and go; 1 sat me down and laughed aloud As I saw the " passing show. " The stately form of Louie H. Was first upon the way. He bent his head to hear the words Of little Helen K. June Wells came next with Eddie Mac, How oddly matched were they! But on they passed with many words, For Ed. had much to say. My! but Maurice did look tall With Fern B. by his side— And O, so difficult for her To keep pace with his stride! And then there came another lad. Aye! everv inch a knight! It was Corneal with Edna Lash Matched desperately in height. And thus it was throughout the list — Contmually they passed. " How long? How long? " I cried aloud, " Can this procession last? " At length the end came into view — And then did I awake, And seized a tiny little clock That so much noise did make. ®J| Alumni The Alumni of the Angola High School comprise a body of capable menr and women of whom the school may well be proud.

They took me to the hospital — the doctor there to see. He straightened out my vertebrae — for quite a handsome fee. I lay in state with broken pate and injured spinal cord. They punched and poked me mercilessly and laid me on a board — Put plaster Paris on my back and bandaged up my dome. Then pul me in an ambulance and started me for home. While riding in this conveyance, the horses ran away; I struck the curbstone and I heard the band begin to play. I dropped about a million feet and landed in a heap; Awakened lying on the floor — had been walking in my sleep. — T. W. P.
