We, the class of twenty- three and the staff of the Retrospect, wish to ex¬ tend our sincere appreciation to those who have made this book possible, and when alumni leaf through the thumbed pages, think back to the days in old B. H. S. May this book stand as a tribute to that period of joy and happiness, cheer and honorable achievement which the class of ’23 cherish in their hearts. i Co one 6il|o l{as teen fuitlj our Class iljrouglj ilpck anb tlpn. to Ollara jiiurgts.

BLUFFTON HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY W E, tlie students of I . H. S. are fortunate indeed to have a corps of such well equipped and efficient teachers. Always willing to help, they form the very foundation to high school life. With Mr. French at our helm, we have enjoyed a very successful year, both in our studies and in our play. Mrs. Bart leads the English department and leads it very well with the help of Miss Anderson and Miss Shumaker. In our language department we find Miss Karns, who teaches us Latin. Miss Sturgis has classes in beginning and advanced French and Miss Meyer has the Spanish students. Our member of the bar, Mr. Shumaker, teaches Math, and Commer¬ cial Law. Miss Shively has history classes and also Civics to the Seniors. At the Columbian building we find Mr. Hufford and his science classes. Mr. Gay and Mr. Templin are both in the Central building and have the Commercial Department and the Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing departments, respectively. Miss Sale and Miss Kenyon have tlie girls of B. H. S. for sewing and cooking. Miss Vaclion has in her charge the care of our voices, and Miss Peters has the Art classes. Our Physical Training departments are taken care of by Miss Chard for the girls and Mr. ltippe for the boys. Mr. Bippe is also our Athletic coach. And now, fellow students, with this group of teachers who have led us to our “Commencement in Life” we surely must succeed. MR. GAY Commercial 3 Years in B. H. S. MISS MEYER Spanish and Math.

This is the book of the evolutions of the tribe of nineteen hund¬ red and twenty-three. And when they entered the land of B. H. S., the number thereof was ninety and six. -• And Blanche, the wise, spake unto them and said, who shall be ruler among you? 3. And they chose from among them four of the most worthy of their number. For chief ruler one of the house of Robinson; for second in rank one of the house of Dailey; for chief scribe, one of the house of Mosinmn; and for chief money-changer, one of the house of Studebaker. 4. And now in the second month of their sojourn in the land of B. fi. S. the} rode upon carts of hay to the land of Beeler where feasting and merriment abounded. o. And it came to pass that more powerful nations descended upon them and caused much woe and distress during their first year in the land. CHAPTER II 1. And lie of the house of Robinson was ten and four years old when he began to rule over the tribe of Twenty-Three in the land of B. H. S. And lo, he ruled in the land two years. 2. And he did that which was right in the sight of the people. 3. And the people chose from among them for second in rank one of tl.e house of Gilbert; for chief scribe, one of the house of Cook; and for chief money-changer, one of the house of Smith. 4. And in the third month a great feast was held; and the children of Twenty-Three pitched their tents in the land of Tribolet. , , 5 - Aud tbe y removed from Tribolet and they pitched in Mount t ook; and they departed from Mount Cook and encamped in the wilder¬ ness of Smith. ( . And from the wilderness of Smith they removed to the house of Robinson. 7. And from the house of Robinson they removed unto the Great Hall m the land of B. H. S., where there was great feasting. 8. Now there was long war between the tribe of Twenty-Three and the tribe of Twenty-One. 9. Hut Twenty-Three waxed stronger and stronger, and the tribe of Twenty-One waned and grew less. 10. And they used a great ball in their war. CHAPTER III 1. And in the third year the people of the tribe of Twenty-Three made for their chief ruler one of the house of Kennedy; for second in rank, one of the house of North; for chief scribe, one of the house of Thurston; and for chief money-changer, one of the house of Smith. o And French, the chief law-giver, called all 13. H. S. and said un¬ to them. 3. Hear, O, 13. H. S., the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them and keep and do them. 4. And lo, it came to pass that one was called to lead the tribe of Twenty-three who was strong in wisdom; Clara, the fair maiden of the house of Sturgis. 5. And behold, for the second time during their sojourn in the land of 13. H. S. they rode upon carts of hay to the land of Fitzpatrick; and there was great feasting and merry-making. G. Now it came to pass that in the fourth month of the third year when all the tribes of B. H. S. were called together in one great congrega¬ tion, that the children of Twenty-Three disobeyed the teachings of French, the law-giver, and they sang the song of their tribe. 7. And when French heard it, he was much displeased and said unto them: ! 8 Ye have sinned a great sin. What have these, your brethern, done unto you that ye should bring so great a sin upon them? 9. And lo, the tribe of Twentv-Three were filled with remorse and 7 t repented. 10. And now in the ninth month there was a time of great rejoicing when the tribes of Twenty-Three and Twenty-Two came together in the land of the Elks with much singing and great thanksgiving. CHAPTER IV 1. And it came to pass that after the third year was expired at the time that the highest tribe left the land, the tribe of Twenty-Three was above all others. 2. So at the beginning of this most fruitful year the tribe chose from among them for chief ruler, one of the house of Gilbert; for sec¬ ond in rank, one of the house of Smith; for chief scribe, one of the house of Fetters, for chief money-changer, one of the house of Kelly. 3. Then in the sixth month of the fourth year, the tribe of Twenty- Three put before the people a great pageant, The Girl of the Cameo. 4. And as in the second year the tribe was engaged in a long war with the neighboring tribes, both with the men and the women of the tribes. 5. And lo, the men were victorious and there was great rejoicing, but the women were put to rout in the last battle. (i. And in the eighth month a great miracle was performed and they became for one day like unto little children. 7. And again in the ninth month the tribes of Twenty-Three and Twenty-Four were gathered together in the land of the Elks and there was great rejoicing. 8. And it came to pass that the tribe of Twenty-Three said to one another, let us gather together for one great time of feasting. And it was so. 9. And on their last day in the land, they had a great celebration and leave-taking. 10. And behold, at the end of four years the tribe of Twenty-Three dcpaitcd fiom the land of 1 . IT. S. with pomp and glory, their banners of purple and white streaming proudly above them.

MOSIMAN CLASS OF 1923 Senior Class Poem S TILL stands our beloved old high school, But ’neath the dusk of its shadow, Others soon will be passing to and fro’ Each day from their lessons. Only the dim-liglited hall-ways Will recall our tears and our laughter; Linger there still name-scarred desk-tops To be read by the ones coming after, Wander there still at the close of the School day, When the bell no more sounds till tomorrow, Young couples, freed of their school books, Discussing their joys and their sorrows. But where are the ones who had clung, For four happy years here together, Where is our class, twenty-three, that loved This with such loyal devotion? Gone—yes, long since departed to a World whence tales of fame and misfortune Come, and give us the answer or let Us keep wondering forever.

K These years have passed quickly and it seems but a short v hi e since we entered B. IT. S. as unsophisticated Freshmen. Have we as a class been a success, and have we accomplished anything worth while to make our class one that will not he forgotten by the future students o b. n. s. . To begin with, under the able leadership of Alonzo Brickley, presi¬ dent; Kathryn Thomas, vice-president; Clarence Bartlemay, secretary, and Martha Rose Morris, treasurer, we were steered carefully through the sea of difficulties that always beset the Freshman, and were anchored in a safe harbor. Under our Sophomore leaders, Henry Brown, president; Mary Buck- mu-, vice-president; Madeline Markley, secretary; and Martha Rose Mor¬ ris, treasurer, we started forth with greater courage, and made a splendid showing in all branches of our school work. We have now finished our school career as Juniors and feel quite gratified that we shall now be known as Seniors. During the past year we, as Juniors, have enjoyed many social events and the year has been otherwise, with assistance of our capable class advisor, Miss Helen Shu¬ maker, and our brilliant class officers, Kathryn Thomas, president; Alon¬ zo Brickley, vice-president; Homer Markley, treasurer; and Dorothy Als- pach, secretary. An important event of the year was the choosing of our class pins and rings. A very unique style was selected and we Juniors are all very proud of them. In the Red Cross drive we broke the record by display¬ ing our usual pep and enthusiasm and were the first class in B. H. S. to rank one hundred per cent. Also, in athletics the Juniors have made an excellent record. The girls showed their skill as athletes when they won the girls’ inter-class basketball meet, while the boys upheld their athletic record by excellent playing in all sports. One of the most enjoyable parties of the year was given by our class at the high school gym on St. Patrick’s Day. Everything in every way, programs, refreshments and decorations, were most unique and clever. In the literary line, we also have contributed our share of clever and well-written articles. With Alden Tabor as Editor-in-chief and Mary Buckner, associate editor, with the co-operation of the whole staff, the Juniors have put out splendid Comets and made a wonderful record in the number sold. One of the social events most looked forward to at B. IT. S. is the Junior Reception, and this is considered the main event of the year. The Juniors put forth their best efforts to make this a very enjoy¬ able evening for the Seniors and it was considered a grand success by all who attended. a i?.

H. S. in September, 1921. We were then one hundred and fourteen strong. In our Freshman year we met and elected Luzerne Weilman, president; Margaret Alspach, vice-president; Norma Kain, secretary; Paul Cromley, treasurer. We had several s uccessful social events during our Pressman year. In this, our Sophomore year, we again elected officers; Margaret Alspach, president; Harry McFarren, vice-president; Harold Richey, sec¬ retary; Paul Cromley, treasurer. Being in High School only two years we have gained quite a stand¬ ing. Our class had a hay ride to the home of Marjorie Patterson in No¬ vember. Later we had a progressive party. The Sophomore basketball team is also of great note. We are a class full of pep and ready to do anything for our dear old B. H. S. —Miriam Lantis.

In a building large and new We hope to make the standards. And we certainly congratulate each other. ATHLETICS. FOOT BALL MUNCIE—H ERE During ' Street Fair W eek our gliders were defeated by the heavy Muncie warriors in the tirst game of the season. Edris made one touch down around the left end. The final score was 18 to G. FT. WA YNE—T11ER E W ith our usual “weather luck with Ft. Wayne our team traveled to that city. Playing in a sea of mud, the sons of Anthony proved too heavy for the Black and Crimson and came home with a lfi to 2 score and a lot of Ft. Wayne mud. Glass made the two points when he pounced on the hall behind their goal line. MARION—HERE Never giving up once to the more weighty Marionites, Bluff ton sure showed her fighting spirit. Marion came through with four lucky touch¬ downs. Score, 25 to 0. GARRETT—THERE W ' ith five regulars off on account of injuries and sickness, Bluffton traveled to Garrett. We held them to two touchdowns in the first half but they ran away with us after Brickley and Colbert’s injuries. Gar¬ rett showed fine spirit and sportsmanship hy not tackling Brickley af¬ ter he had received his injury. Final score was 41 to 0. WABASH—HERE In the best and hardest fought game played by our boys this year, neither team scored. The game see sawed from one end of the field to the other. Both teams came within a few feet of a touchdown. The trains of the opponents were mostly made by forward passes and ours by short ( nd runs. Even though there were only a handful of rooters, our boys held one of the best teams in the state scoreless EICHMON1)—THERE Playing the worst game of the season but still holding the heavy Richmond players—That was what happened when we took the trip to Richmond. The game was played on Earlham College field to a 24 to 0 ending. DECATUR—HERE The Decaturites came over with a large following and stepped on our boys to a 32 to 0 score. The breaks fell for Decatur, but B IT S never gave up and played ’till the last whistle. “JO SAYVYEH Center Jo has joined the navy now. That shows our team had real men. And lie played full time at every game lie play¬ ed. “HOSS” COLBERT Fullback “Hoss” always good for plowing through the line. He has the pep and push. “PUELL” GILBERT Halfback The inspiration that Gilbert puts in the badkfield is much to be marveled at and his encouragement helped the line to hold “them” back. “BUS” CLOWSER Quarter anil Halfback “Bus is sure the man for a football team. Those long runs—Oh, Boy! “BONNY BRICIvLEY Quarterback Grit—that’s “Lonny”. On account of injury he couldn ' t finish the season but B. H. S. will have a good man next year. “DUTCH” EDRIS Halfback Speaking of runs around the end — well “Nuf Sed . “SQUINT TANGEMAN Left End After initiation in the mud at Port Wayne Fritz” held both his position and the line—and held—and held—and held. “AL” ROBINSON Left Tackle Everybody came to the game with field glasses to see big A1 kick off, and when his signal was called they just as well might get out of his way, ’cause big A1 was on their neck. “PLASH GLASS Right Guard Without “Plash” and his “fight” our line could never have gained and held our reputation of a line that is hard to break. “FREDDIE” EARNS Right End Fred sure gave “as good as he got” and any man that Fred tackled—wen_ he stopped. “APE SOWARDS Bight Tackle Whenever Joe twined his length around an opposing ’back’, the referee immediately blew his whistle for the next down. “HARVEY” AULT Left Guard “Harv” will be one of the ones who will defend our old High School next year as he is only a Junior. Hit ’em hard, Harvey. Guard and Tackle Another man on next year’s list. Brick sure knows how to play. Next year should be more successful, on account of spring football this year.’ Remember to “get your man, hit him hard and hold him.” v BASKET BALL PETROLEUM BlnfTton opened the season with a win over the Petroleum High School at Bluffton 21-11. Petroleum put up more fight than expected and led at the half 11-10. Bluffton held them scoreless the last half and won. FORT WAYNE B. IT. S. journeyed to Ft. Wayne on Friday night and put up a hard fight against the Ft. Wayne five but was defeated by the small mar¬ gin of three points. The final score was 20 to 17. KENDALLVILLE Bluffton engaged Kendallville on Saturday night at the Cherry street gym, in a battle royal which resulted in the defeat of the crimson warriors by a 27 to 9 count. It was a more evenly matched game than the score indicates. STURGIS Papa Gay chauffeured the hard court artists to Sturgis, Michigan, where they defeated the “high”, of that city by an 18 to 15 count. They were entertained at Alonzo Brickley’s in Constantine, a small place in the road, near Sturgis. MARION Bluffton went to Marion on Friday night accompanied by several fans on a special car, but were defeated 29 to 9. The Bluffton lads put up a scrappy fight but were outclassed. MONROE Monroe High set the Bluffton five down to the tune of 23-15 for the first time since the tournament of 1920. Although both teams played hard, it was a hard game for either team to lose. LIBERTY CENTER Liberty Center and Bluffton, two old rivals, met at the Cherry street gym and Liberty Center defeated Bluffton the first time in years by the score of 20-14, it was close and exciting throughout. HARTFORD CITY Bluffton went to Hartford City and was defeated in the last half by a score of 24-14. Hartford City came from behind in the first half to win. WAR lilJN Warren defeated Bluffton at Warren 35-16, although the score indi¬ cates a slow game it was just reversed and both teams showed consider¬ able speed. LIBERTY CENTER Bluffton was again defeated by the old rivals at Liberty Center 25-7 in a bitterly contested game. The Liberty barn was packed from ceiling to door. (This does not indicate a large crowd.) HUNTINGTON Huntington high journeyed to the gym and defeated the black and crimson to the tune of 36-15, Huntington’s superior height and weight was the deciding factor of the game. PORTLAND Portland high school came to Bluffton and was defeated by the lo¬ cals in a stirring battle. The first half ended 11-7 for the locals and they were never headed . The final score being 22-16. HART LORD CITY Bluffton came through with another win against Hartford City and trimmed m real style 28-11. Bluffton played winning basketball and sure deserved to win. HUNTINGTON Iiluffton vent to Huntington and was again defeated by that school m a more exciting game than the score indicates. The final score was 30-16. i uitTjujLJs n Iiluffton was defeated at Portland by the score of 33-10. Several subs ere used in this game and played well. UNION CENTER Iiluffton trounced on Union Center in the last game of the season bv 3 W. Ever }’ boa y played exceptionally well with the thought of the district in their mind. { CAPTAIN “BCGGAR” FETTERS Guu Ml “Buggar” can always be depended on to hold his man down to very few bas- l:ets. Bob played a consistant game all season. “DEACON’’ MOCK Forward With his hard, steady, fight, and his dependability to sink in baskets when most needed, Deak” was a valuable man to the team. “ED”EARLEY Guard “Ed” had an especially good idea of where the basket was and dropped them in from quite a distance with a regularity that made his shots more than mere luck shots. I’UELL GILBERT Guard The same hard playing that charac¬ terized all his activities make Gilbert an asset to our cagers. •11 US” CLOYVSEK Forward Our married man made his bebute last year with the seconds. As a reg¬ ular this year “Bus” could not be miss¬ ed. Bus” also, made quite a reputa¬ tion as a good shot. “FLASH” GLASS Forward When “Flash” was in the game you could hear, at regular intervals— Flash” scored again from the field.” George sure has an eagle eye. “LONNY” IIRICKLEY Center Lonny” could get the tip from al¬ most all of the boys and played a good, consistant game. “SQUINT” TANGLHA Center Fred worked his way right into the first tea mand stuck. His steady play¬ ing in pinches gained the approval of the crowd at all times. “HUS” RIPPE Couch Rippe coached both the football and the basketball teams and did it very successfully. We hope he is witn us again next year. “MANAGER” DAILEY Jim managed the teams and worked hard till he had to move. No one cou d ever be more handy than he at supply¬ ing water to the football boys—one si allow to each. California gains what we lose. BASE BALL Jk OS SIAN, 12; BLUFFTON, 10 We were defeated in our first baseball game of the season played at Ossian. It was a very interesting game, featuring several errors on our part. A large number of rooters from Bluffton did tlieir best but without avail. BLUFFTON, 10; LANCASTER CENTER, 1 Our second game was a satisfactory vengeance for the tournament. Our men seemed to be hitting unusually well andthi s, with several of Lancaster’s errors netted us a total of 16 runs, while they were held to one run. BLUFFTON, 11; FT. WAYNE, 9 Encouraged by the preceding victory, we surrounded Ft. Wayne by a score of 11-9 in an interesting game at Jefferson Park. “Hoss” Colbert, our “mound artist” served the pill in very good style, and the whole team seemed to be back of him. HUNTINGTON, 5; BLUFFTON, 3 A little tough luck seemed to be with us in our game with Hunting- ton. With the score tied 3-3, ’till the last inning our opponents succeeded in crossing the plate just twice too often. It was a pitchers’ battle throughout and very few errors were made. BLUFFTON, 14; MARION, Q O Our baseball boys took some of the “spunk” out of Marion and avenged another basketball defeat in a rather one-sided game at Jefferson Park, Thursday, May 10. Colbert held the Marion men scoreless for five innings, then the second battery, Ivins and Gilbert replaced them. Ivans only allowed 3 to cross. Both did remarkably well, and Ivans shows up well as a future pitcher. Ft. Wayne—There—Friday, May 18. Culver—There—Date uncertain. Huntington—There—Friday, May 25. Lancaster—There—Date uncertain. Qirls Basket Ball Team In the first game of the season the B. H. S. girls were defeated by the strong Liberty Center team. The game was fast. Considering the experience of the local team they made ;i fine showing. The final score was 19 to 5 in favor of Liberty Center The local girl’s Basketball team defeated the Ilockcreek Center girls in a fast and hard fought game, the locals. The final score was 1G-10 in favor of Hurd starred for the Blnffton team with four field g o The Berne champs defeated the locals at the High School gymnasium by the score of 17-14. At the end of the first half the locals were in the lead 7-4 but they were forced to bow to the opponents. The last game of the season was with Lancaster Center. It was an easy game for t he opponents. The game ended 30-5. The Girls’ Varsity line-up follows: ForwardsMorris, Hurd, Little, Severin; Centers.—Young, War¬ ner, Pease, P. Fishbaugli, Ulluin, I.

The week of March 13 an inter-class tournament was held, iors were scheduled to play the Freshmen in the tirst game, iors won by a score of G-3. The Sen- The Sen- The second night the Juniors and the Sophomores clashed. The Juniors coining out ahead with a score of 20-11. The finals were played between the Juniors and the Seniors. The Juniors taking the tournament with a score of 23-4. Boys 1 Inter-Class Basketball In a series of basketball games between the classes, the Senior team emerged victorious. The first game was between the Eighth Grade and the Freshmen. The Eighth Grade proved too strong for the Freshies however, and so earned the right to meet the Seniors in the semi-finals. The Soph ' s took the Juniors in a hotly contested battle by a three point margin. The Seniors walloped the Eighth Grade, all the points for the Graders were made from the foul line. In the last game the Sophs and Hie Seniors fought a hard contest and the Seniors became victorious by a Single field goal. And now the Seniors have another plate to put in the office in addition to the plate won in 1021. I rack. A few of the fellows went out for track this year and 13 H S sent four le to ,‘! ,e 8ecti,,llal “ eet at Fort Wayne. Tangeman and Mentor were entered in tl,e pole vaults. Fred tied with two other men for sec¬ ond point and Mentzer got a fourth. Gilbert got a fourth in the half m.le and l.olunson got two fourths in the high jump and the 440 yard Minor Sports. B.

A ND the sun’s shining too!” Indeed the sun, a great orb of brightness, penetrating, was shin¬ ing. ? Twas a glorious afternoon in early May. The air was as balm, the flowers scented the atmosphere with their fragrance and the fresh, very green leaves, danced merrily, then shook and fluttered on the breeze. Birds chirped and sang gay songs, apparently daring and vie- ing with each other as they sprang from branch to branch. The people, the children. Everyone spoke of spring, of warm weather—and of such happy thoughts. Yet as was said before, the sun certainly was shining and no one noticed and welcomed it more than did Rosalind Gale as she sat languidly among soft pillows of her window seat in her pretty room. She noticed it more, probably, since quite a distasteful task faced her squarely, which would take such heaps of precious time when there were many really pleasant things to do. “But such is life,” sighed Rosalind as she dragged her deep, slumbrous black eyes away from the brilliant out doors. Away from this blithesome (scene) enticing scene to a scratch pad and an Eversluirp. Quite a contrast. Surely it was no fun in mak¬ ing up silly verses when there was, at hands’ reach, touching you every¬ where, such wonderful poetry! But those six simple verses really must be finished by tomorrow morning and there were only two of them com¬ pleted after several hours of literary labor. Rosalind Gale, everyone, pronounced exceedingly attractive, pro¬ nounced catchy, with a lot of snap and pep—at times. Then again very suddenly she became indifferent, lazy, listless; everything appeared to sink and to melt in her midnight locks and to be swallowed completely by her abnormally dark eyes. Nevertheless she was well liked. She had oodles of friends and kept all the bunch going at high speed. A few girls who were only jealous called her “nutty” and she said she “certain¬ ly kept things going, but in dreadful flippant fashion.” But when cer¬ tain times of the school year approached, and Rosalind gave delightful parties, all those oddities were forgotten. Rosalind had two pet hobbies —the first, always first, was dancing. She declared that never would the glow and glamour wear off of dancing. The second, was laughing, gig¬ gling. “Smile and dance—a game of chance,” she would quote, bubbling over with mirth. At every opportunity (provided certain distinguished personages were not in sight) when her quick, sensitive ear caught a bar of jazz, off she flew, laughing and swaying to the bit of music. A dancing, carefree, constant smiler—a real flapper. As for the boys she knew reaT ly they were all alike. Good play-fellows but that was all. She was wait¬ ing for the exception. Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Gale and daughter, Rosalind, lived in a won¬ derful home, surrounded by wide, well kept lawns, blooming gardens, and cool, refreshing fountains. People said they “rolled in money.” 1 guess it was true because luxury in huge letters was stamped all around them. Hubert Gale looked finance and his very attitude, walk, demeanor shrieked “Wliat?” Maybe you don’t know who I am.” Mrs. Hubert Gale with her rustling, rich garments, gleaming diamonds, exquisite coif¬ fure, sent broadcast on the puffs whiffed from her expensive cigarette, the startling modern message, “My daughter! She’s only a steady, amusing friend of mine.” It’s up to you. Was it at all strange that Rosalind, possessor of, or possessed of such parents should be just a wee bit different from other girls? She had somewhere within her apparently frivolous, flapper self, a heart, a tiny one, even sometimes totally forgotten, as the returns of hard fights, fought purposely for the stated result ? This small heart made known its presence when once in a while she overheard remarks, made by some of those aforesaid, envious girls. These remarks caused trains of thought, to follow, endless. At times some cutting word escap¬ ed her vivid, angry lips and then she was punished by lots of inexplicable, torturous means. There were many questions but seldom any answers. Is anything worth quarreling for? Is anything, anyone, valued so high¬ ly to cause turmoil, confusion, incompatability; thus making your life as well as the life of those near you unpleasant? Can it be possible for one to grit and swallow some harsh word, which slipped from some fool ' s lips unheeded, carelessly, thoughtlessly? There are various types of he¬ roes and heroines. Can not a person be worthy of the name hero, if he mastered his quick anger? Did she want to be heroic? Were these hate¬ ful words true? Did they hit because they were aimed carefully at some rank defect? This special bright day passed; the evening whisked away in dancing and after the guests had departed Rosalind gazed wistfully at the twinkling stars and asked : “When shall I find him? Why should 1 be so appallingly dissatisfied. The answer!” The following morning was quite as warm and delicious as the day before. Rosalind ran into the garden to select the most perfect rosebud to carry to her recitations. The sweet buds were her favorites, making- school stuff more bearable. After the rose was located and cut, it was getting late; time, in fact, for lessons to begin their routine. “Hey Rosalind ! Stop parading and skipping around there among all those thorns. Come on,” yelled a girl friend. “Yes, I’m coming. What’s the grand rush?” “We’ve just seven minutes, that’s why.” “Say,” said Rosalind, after they were well on their way, “If you don’t mind I’d much rather you’d stop whistling “Lovin’ Sam.” “Well, I surely wasn’t doing it for your special entertainment. But why the objections?” “Oh ! It makes me want to—you know how ’tis. My brain’s a chaos. Wait ' til all those bothersome exams are over, then whistle at heart’s content. My brakes are rusty. Don’t dare me.” “Gosh I haven’t studied for History. Oh, say, have you a poem for English?” “Got a kind of a one. ed Rosalind. It’s no good but I need the grade,” answer- “Well sweet lady, we’re here and not late for a wonder! I don’t be¬ lieve there’s a bit of a smell left in your rose, after so many trips to your nose.” “Wheel You’re a poet and don’t know it.” giggled Rosalind. “Fare- the well. Wait on me at noon.” History exam was finally over and it was a great sigh of relief that escaped with the ripples of her gay laughter as she made her way to English class. Two poems were read and criticised then, “Miss Gale” was called briskly from the desk—and the grade book. Rosalind ambled gracefully up in front and her curved lips formed the title, “Madcap. 5 “The title is odd, and you all laugh but it is quite the best I could do. I shall do this some day and also find what I’m looking for.” Oh, give me the kid that’s true and strong, Who’s not at all ’fraid of right or wrong: Oh give me the kid that is not too tame, Who’ll stick by you steady ’til the end of the game. Show me the kid that has sense and is deep. Who’ll without hesitation, in chasms of thought leap; Side by side with you, day and night, Whom you never will tire of, try all your might. From the rest, a lot different, therefore keeps mum, When a prank you’ve committed actually seemed dumb; Who absolutely understands you through and through, And values yourself more than what you do. Yes, lives on excitement, fun and pleasure, In every deal; a full measure; Dancing all day, and dancing all night, I’m searching and searching, but you’re not in Sure! a regular pal; a regular kid, From Life’s dish of dessert will lift the lid; Time flies It will soon be all over, With me, for the trip; my rover! sight. When we’re together, we’ll step on the gas, All the milestones in sweet laughter will pass. Course I’m in earnest, not kidding at all Real life forever; List my silent call! All the fellows and girls looked with incomprehension printed all over tlieir countenence. Rosalind giggled in a disappointed tone (if possible). “I don’t believe I shall find my answer from any of you. It is quite evident I’ll have to go further.” Nothing very important occurred during the rest of the week, but the following Monday something very romantic happened. Rosalind came home at noon to find a letter addressed to her in a boyish, un¬ familiar writing. It was hastily opened and an oddly monogramed card fell out. It read; “To one to whom I find myself inextricable attached; I like you very much and your poem the other day made me want to write you that per¬ haps I might fill the vacant place beside you; might furnish the gas you step on; might be your partner in the game; might strike the match. This will surprise you for I’m quite a stranger, but I’d like so much to meet you. Hoping against hope you’ll forgive this “dumb prank” of mine and consent to see me at school tomorrow morning in the first corridor.” Theodore Harlan. “Well, that’s some puzzle!” expostulated Rosalind. “Who ever is Theodore Harlan. I wonder if any of the kids know him. No, I ' ll wait and not tell a soul. Gee, how thrilling.” She could scarcely wait until Tuesday morning. She sure did find that her curiosity was a fast partner. But after numerous delays, un¬ necessary she thought, she found herself hurrying up the front walk of the school building. It was quite a task and with a great deal of strat¬ egy on her part, the first corridor was reached. When she stepped in and glanced around her eyes were drawn to a tall, dark youth, who looked at her and grinned whimsically out of his luminous brown eyes. Mike Spencer approached saying, “I’ve a friend I want you to meet.” To be sure it was the boy with the brown eyes. Snake’s hips! “Miss Gale, my especial friend Theodore Harlan. Ted, this is she, Miss Rosalind Gale.” “I’m sure I’m very glad to meet you but ’tis odd I’ve never seen you before, although your name sounds familiar,” smiled Rosalind. “Not so odd. I’m new here and ratlier-er fresh.. I’ve known you for several days.” Thus the acquaintance was begun. A few nights later Theodore call¬ ed and they became the best of friends. She thought Ted was perfectly grand, so magnetic, and handsome, and wel 1—just wonderful. Days, weeks, passed and the school term had come to an end. Rosa¬ lind had finished. Words can not describe how absurdly happy she was when the Lesson Panneled Door had closed for the last time after her. The end of that perfect day found Rosalind and Ted alone in the garden. They had been teasing each other, but gasping they dropped down on a bench. “Ted, wliat do you intend doing now that it is the end and time to begin?” “Me? Oh I’m going in for, let me see. I’m going to be a movie di¬ rector, then when I get “mad” I can say what I please and whatever it is it shall he justified. Wliat are you?” “M-m can’t tell you. It’s a real secret,” smiling evasively. “Rosalind. Tell me, what are you going to do?” He became serious. II is shiek like eyes were compelling, searching. “You’ll only think I’m nutty but I’ll not care a bit. Here goes. ' Tis a professional dancer I shall be.” “Don’t kid me,” said lie unbelieving. “I’m not. I ' ve all my plans made, but you must not let anyone know or they, the well formed plans, would all be upset.” “Your mother-” “Mother! Oh, I can see them literally butchered if she knew. You won’t tell?” “I’m not a cad, yet. I know you’re sure a dandy dancer but the “hard knocks of experience” sometimes leave permanent, unhealed dents. It’s hard in getting in a decent place.” “It was, I know,” said Rosalind sweetly, pursing up her lips. “Was? It is,” burst out exasperated Ted. “No indeed. Was. I have a wonderful position. All’s settled and I’m off next Friday eve.” “You’re going so soon? order. Then I’ll have my trunk to pack in short “Your’s shan’t be needed. I’m going alone, perfectly alone, be grand.” It will “Grand nothing! Please Rosalind, I can’t live on without you.” “Oh Ted, don’t fall fiat! I ' ll miss you horribly I know, but it is bet¬ ter that way.” “Where are you going, may I ask that?” 1 just can t tell you. I must be alone, you see, and you might fol¬ low.” “I would, declared Theodore. lie rose stiffly. “Well, Rosalind, it’s entirely up to you. Always I’ve tried to be fair with you. If you think this is fair to me, I’ll not inter¬ fere,” his pleading beseeching eyes held hers. “It is fair in one way. I can’t explain,” whispered Rosalind. “Can’t you see I adore you—I love you?” begged Ted. “You might. It isn’t the “Spoils of Love,” it is rightfully “love spoils! That is why I’m going alone.” “I’m sorry, so sorry to hurt you, but I might change my mind you know.” “Listen, Ted” coaxed Rosalind advancing and placing her hand on his arm, “listen, please try to understand and don’t be a damper. I’m going to have some fun, enjoy myself and when I get tired of playiim if $ w (O U 1 we still feel the same wav, why L’11 send a rose to you, meaning for you to come.” ‘Yes that’s the way it goes, but I’ll wait fore; r—for nothing.” ‘It’ll be a great tester, Ted, and you won’t mind.” ‘1 will mind; but for you, Iiosalind, for you I’ll consent to any¬ thing.” She winked saucily at him, blew him an airy little kiss and danced around a blooming rose bush. “I wish there were no hearts. They’re so much trouble. Better for¬ get yours and I am mine,” sang the darling, reckless sprite. “It’s quite impossible to ignore and forget a pain. My heart is brok¬ en, Theodore passionately told her, with arms outflung. “Nougli said. You’d make a perfectly splendid Sheik, sing “Why should I cry over you.” It will save talking,” heartlessly Rosalind teased him until in desperation he lied. She intently watched him go away; maybe stepping out of her life forever, and then, maybe just stepping in. At any rate it was impossible to tear her miscliievious eyes from his slowly departing form. Suddenly he turned, straightened and called back. At that distance Ids eyes glow¬ ed live smoldering embers. “Here’s hoping at all hazards that you succeed; not only in your dancing career but in your dreams. I’ll wait for the rose, though. Prob¬ ably will see you before you go.” Rosalind with rippling laughter accompanied by several, wild whirls, bade him good bye. But she ceased her gay caperings when he once more resumed his solitary walk homeward, and whispered to herself, “Rosa¬ lind. It was a close call. It ' s lucky for you that he is leaving now. It is also lucky that all plans are laid and everything settled. Guess I’ll go tomorrow.” Scampering up to the house she chanted: “Some hearts are warm, some hearts are cold. My heart for a rose, may be sold.” Up the broad marble steps she sped, on to her mother’s door, there she stopped; the sparkling eyes became serious. Some plausable explana¬ tion which would satisfy her worldly mother must be found. She tapped on the door. “Mother! may I come in just a minute?” A muffled, “Oh yes” ensued from within. Rosalind danced lightly in on her toes and smiled down on the absurdly sophisticated lady who was reclining in all misery among rich, soft pillows and silken coverlets. Just the eyes and mouth were visible as the remaining features were in¬ cased in “Magic Clay.” Her misty blue eyes were blurred and watery as they were filled to excess with belladona, and “Laslrlux” daubed on the lashes. The restorers and reducers were numerous so I shall go no far- o f lier in detail. “Don’t bother me long, dear! I have a terrific headache,” gasped Mrs. Gale. “1 only want to tell you, mother that tomorrow I’m going up to New York to see Aunt Alice. I need some new clothes ’ begged Rosalind. “I suppose so. But I dare say Alice will be delighted.” “Mother, I may go?” A shrug of the lacey silk shoulders—“Why, I’m sure I don’t mind.” “Boy! I’m tickled pink. Hours, please fly! “You’ll have to ask Hubert for some money. I’m broke.” “Alright, sweet dreams! I ' ll finish packing.” The next morning at nine, the trunks, grips and suit cases were all safely sent to the depot. At nine-thirty, Rosalind in high spirits emerg¬ ed from out the side entrance, leaving a wave of laughter behind to float and echo from wall to wall in the dignified, correct reception hall. She was dressed beautifully, and looked very flapperisli with her smart little dressing case and dangling Burrali ear-rings. A whole three-quarters of an hour yet; she decided to walk to the station, and bid good-bye to girl friends. At Ted’s door she left a little scribbled note, which ran thus: “Be good to yourself, dearest Ted, and forget me. Don’t strain your pre¬ cious eyes looking for a rose.” At last Miss Rosalind Gale stepped forth from the Grand Union Sta¬ tion. The lights were dazzling, somewhat bewildering. She politely hailed a taxi-driver with a request to take her to a first class hotel. It was too late to hunt up the company with whom she contracted, and she had no intention whatsoever of going to Aunt Alice’s. After securing a room at the hotel, Rosalind discovered she was tired and worn out. It seemed good to see a comfy bed. The following morning about ten-thirty she again fared forth “at the mercy of the world,” she said grinningly. It was no trouble in locat¬ ing her company. The manager was well pleased with her appearance, although she had furnished good recommendations. That afternoon she was to be tried out. From then on Rosalind lived in a land of dreams. People raved over her dancing. It was superb. Indeed there had been quite a storm at home when it was made known to the Gales that she was a dancer, “a dancing fool” people said at home. But the crisis soon passed and Mr. and Mrs. Gale said it did one good to have a little scandal and notoriety. In fact they journeyed up to Yew York especially to see their brilliant daughter in vaudeville. Theodore Harlan was really broken hearted. His eyes were now coals of fire, and he wore a brooding bitter smile. Rosalind, light hearted, frivolous, all curves, bends, trifling, cupid bow lips and rolling eyes found her way, treading on people’s hearts to the adoring footlights of Broadway. Broadway makes or breaks and Rosa¬ lind won great success. She danced and bubbled, twisted and flirted from early evening to early morning. Snatching a few hours of restless slum¬ ber as she wreathed her smiling, rythmic way. l r es Rosalind declared to her skeptical self that now, now she was living. Three years sped swiftly past. Three years of popularity; three years sacrificed for a given purpose. The goal had not been attained. When before the glittering footlights, her audience really a multitude of flattering faces, was only a pair of great brown eyes, shaded by long, black lashes, brown eyes imploring, searching, which saw the hidden place where the small heart was concealed. Sometimes she imagined lie was there and danced for him; afterwards would wait and watch for him for hours, lie never came, and she never sent the rose. Another year was counted off by Father Time, wafted away on the perfumed breeze of Broadway’s Smart Set. Another year of longing and hurting discovery on one side and mighty pride on the other. But in the end, pride gave in just a tiny bit. A wondrous rosebut was purchased and sent in the mail. “If he has changed his mind, if he has succeeded in forgetting what i told him, why then I won’t care any more. Charlie Waldon is nice and we get on splendidly,” she frequently soliloquized. For two nights Rosalind disappointed crowds of admirers. She felt ill and faint and stayed in the seclusion of her room. But on the third night she had quite recovered and consented to do her dance. Iler cos¬ tume was a very full, short, black lace skirt, a tight red bodice and a lot of tinkling jewelry. Here dusky curls were slashed back with red coral; her small feet encased in red satin pumps. The breathing, packed theatre panted and gasped at this little pas¬ sion-flower which swayed, turned, in bends, twists, and flings. To her crimson lips she pressed a rose; a deep red rose. Her dark eyes were langurous pools, bottomless pools of alluring liquid. The theatre reeked in incense. Rosalind knew that Theodore was there, was among the mass of tickle worshippers. She felt his presence, and her heart persisted in throbbing so hard she was scarcely able to breathe. That night two hearts declared their rights and were eternally joined. She danced sole¬ ly for him. The soft curtains rustled behind her, the orchestra played a weird sort of strain. To Rosalind and Theodore it seemed the music was produced upon their heartstrings. It was incredulous that the airy crea¬ ture should not tire, or droop. Straight on the tips of her toes, the fan¬ tastic, passionate eltin, a vision of youth, love and emotion, on she tripped, down to the twinkling footlights, dancing. Back and down she bent, de¬ posited unharmed, the rose from her smiling mouth; was up in a second. Evasive, delightful, charmingly, and saucilly she danced around it on the velvet carpet. Then at the rumble of the drums, a crash from the piano she suddenly bowed low to the rose, then to the audience. She looked at the friendly jammed house, so fondly, so sadly; then with a radiant rip¬ ple of laughter, she left them. Hours later out iu tlie cool, refreshing, purple night Rosalind was in sentimental eyes searched her merry, lowered ones. “Dear heart, my love for you tonight, as forever, is as deep as the moon and pure as the light it sends forth. I can’t ignore and forget my bothersome heart, so I’ll give it to you. ‘Tis quite too mammoth for men to hold,” Rosalind softly murmured. It was sealed sublimely by a great warm kiss. Concealed, found, and given in the heart of the rose. Lela Gaul, Senior The end. xx; NEWS STAND Everybody’s. Literary Digest. The Country Gentleman . . . The American Boy.

The pledge is as follows: “With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to all. I shall try to lit my¬ self to give intelligent service in making the community in which I live, a safer and more beautiful place for little children. Thus will my own life become rich and complete.” The money to carry on the work of the club lias been made by sell¬ ing candy at the high school building and at the gym during the basket¬ ball games. The club held a Christmas party at the gymnasium for the unfor¬ tunate children of Bluffton, at which dolls, baseballs, candy and stock¬ ings were given to each child. the club and the lady members of the faculty had a pot-luck sup¬ per at the gym. Ice cream, rabbits and colored eggs were served after the supper. The remainder of the evening was spent in playing games. the Senior girls and a few favored Juniors were appointed to serve as “big sisters” to the Freshman girls. Their duty is to help them in all their studies and personal affairs. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Hesse Sale, the Society has proved a great success, Sunshine The Symposium Society No society lias drawn more attention this year than the Symposium Society. This society was started as the “Public Speaking Class ' ’ in Oc¬ tober, as a result of advice given us by Albert J. Beveridge in a speech he made to the High School. The class drew some twenty people, but a few of these dropped out on account of conflicting periods. The remaining students found the work so interesting that it was decided more time was needed. As a result the Symposium Society was organized to give the people more time in discuss¬ ing subjects of interest. The society was so successful, and the members liked the work so well that debates were planned with neighboring towns. The first debate was ' with Ossian. Ossian sent their negative team to Bluff ton to debate our affirmative team while their affirmative team stayed there to debate our negative team. The subject “The U. S. Gov¬ ernment should own and control all inter-state Railroads,” proved very interesting, and was won by Bluffton. The Portland debate closed the debating season. The work of the class has been confined to small debates on Monday nights, which is the meeting night. The society has been under the direction of Miss Ivarns without whom it could not long have lived. We owe much to her for her good ad¬ vice and help while we were preparing debates. The Society was such a success that we will continue it next year, but we will need some new members, so if you’re in high school don’t for¬ get to take “Public Speaking.” “Sodalitas Latina” T HE Virgil Class of 1921-22, of Bluffton High School organized into a Latin club called “Sodalitas Latina” with Miss Karns as faculty advisor and Herman Gilbert as president. The charter members were: Josephine Norris, Edwina Watson, Helen Linn, Julia Reynolds, Martha Ehle, Madeline Kelly, Elizabeth Cook, Thelma Clark, Josephine Beeler, Albert Robinson, Klare Kilty, Herman Gilbert, and Edward Paul Williamson. At the beginning of the year 1922-23 the third year Latin students were taken as pledges to Sodalitas Latina. The pledges were: Elizabeth Morris, Lucile Markley, Martha Rose Morris, Madelyn Markley, Dorothy Alspach, Carolyn Erickson, Mary Buckner and Janies Dailey, initiated at a party, at the home of Elizabeth Cook, in their honor. Later the pledges gave a return party at the home of Madelyn Markley where they were made members of the club. Herman Gilbert was re-elected president; Dorothy Alspach, vice- president; Mary Buckner, secretary; and Helen Linn, treasurer. The purpose of the club is to assist in vitalizing the Latin course in the school. The club is held every two weeks at the homes of the differ¬ ent members. Edward Paul Williamson is chairman of the program committee and our programs consist of Latin games, riddles and Latin songs. One of the main features of the program consists of short talks given by the members on “Manners and Customs of the Roman People” The club plans to leave a memorial for Latin room in the new high school. The last two weeks of the school year were full of festivities A picnic was given at the home of Elizabeth Morris and one elaborate ban¬ quet was given at the home of Lucile Markley on Tuesday, May 8 PD3 at wind, appointments, menu and toasts, as near as possible, were ’-Wen in keeping with the customs of the Romans. 1 he Sodalitas Latina is one of the foremost clubs of the school. “Le Cercle Francais” Le Cercle Francais was organized in October, 1921, having ten charter members, with Miss Sturgis as faculty adviser. The club which was organized to promote a further interest in the French language and customs, has passed through a most interesting second year Initiation has been held twice during the winter, and at present there are fourteen active members. Le Cercle Francais meets by-weekly, at the homes of its members. There is always a program in French, usually consisting of songs, a play and French games. The present officers of the society are: Roberta North, president; Dorothy Smith, vice-president; Josephine DeLong, secretary-treasurer; and Clara Sturgis, faculty adviser. i «r | 9 ??- “Qregg Writers” The “Gregg Writers” was organized in the late fall of ’22 by Mr. Gay, commercial instructor. The purpose of the club is to further the study of stenography, along with popularizing and socializing it. The charter membership was made up of the advanced short-hand students, who immediately elected temporary officers and drew up the charter. After the first semester, the honor students of the beginning shorthand class were initiated, and the present officers were installed; Margaret Campbell, president; Vera Cline, secretary-treasurer; Carolyn Erickson, vice-president. The social meetings of the club have been extremely enjoyable, and all members have pronounced the organization a great success. Plans have been made for the continuation of the club next year. The “Gregg Writers” wish to express their appreciation to Mr. Gay for his efforts in helping with the activities of the club.

They stepped into their places with their minds determined on sue- cess, and they have achieved it. Not only has tins staff successfully work¬ ed togethei, but it has also won (lie co-operation and support of the school body; to which many thanks are extended by every member of the staff for their help. Not only have they put out a clever, newsy paper but they have broken the record of circulation, which lias been greater than ever before. “El Circulo Espanol” Every language, science and study lias a club, why not have a Span¬ ish club? So we did. The Spanish Club was organized late in February, but with the help of our adviser, Miss Meyers, and our president, Helen Tribolet, we have progressed and have taken in new members to carry on the work next year.

You that have the good fortune to read the essay written in behalf of the poor dogs that have gone—the village butcher only knows where. Take heed! 1 hope that this piece of literature gets into the hands of all dog owners and also into the hands of all persons who anticipate purchasing a dog in the future. This great subject offers a wealth of material for future essayists. The possibilities are limitless, the supply is inexhaustible. Mark these w ords, dear reader, and take them as a warning—the next time you have a “poor pooch” disappear, go not to the city dog pound nor search in the lonely paths or byways, but rush to the nearest meat dispensary and search through all boxes and coolers, lest ye be forever too late. On many a dark and dismal night l have lain awake and listened to the rushing and moaning of the wind outside my window, punctuated oc¬ casionally by the bark of a canine in distress. Few people who hear these heart rending sounds can analyze their meaning, but the next day that selfsame dog will be selling for twenty cents per pound. I voice my protest in this manner and will put it before a skeptical public, and if this matter is put into the hands of the present congress, we may get action in eighteen or twenty years, that will stop this wholesale and unnecessary slaughter of dogs (with due apologies to congress). As I stroll down the streets in our own fair city and see a mutt sit¬ ting in front of a meat market, gazing at a newly manufactured ring of bologna through a mist of tears in his large soulful eyes, I know that his thoughts are not of that bologna but of a recently departed friend who thoughtlessly ventured too close to the family butcher the day before. When you show your butcher your dearest and most lovable Mexican Hairless dog and say, “Isn’t he a cute little fellow,” he is really thinking “He’ll make about four pounds and besides I won’t have to bother about the hairs.” 1 v ill take this mass of facts and statistics and go before any judge in our own enlightened country and face any butcher e’en tho’ he has arm¬ ed himself with a cleaver of huge proportions. The condition of “The Friends of man” is becoming very serious and if something is not done at once the dog will become extinct like the “Sea Serpent” and other ani¬ mals. After these words are printed I will be living in fear of death but I must have my say. If some day my body is found horribly mutilated by a knife or cleaver you may be certain that I met this sad fate at the hands of some bologna manufacturer, but if I have so much as saved one “Poor Poodle” from being renovated into a ring of Bologna, I will not have died iu vam —Charles Cloioser, ’23 PUflMfUD Vv ' ?

Didn’t you feel funny when you strolled in the gym, all masked and with a smother false face that kept sliding over your eyes? Wasn’t it fun to try to guess who was there? Didn’t know there were such queer looking creatures in B. H. S. Then remember the grand march Ev¬ erybody masked—couldn’t tell whether your partner was a teacher or Freshie. And when we unmasked, everyone was ready to quiet down to listen to a splen¬ did program. The program was quite lengthy but went off without a “hitch.” The playlets were fin e. Wasn’t it amusing to see Mad- elyn Markley transform ordinary boys into all kinds of furniture? And Dr. George Glass was right there with his part of the entertainment. We certainly enjoyed the solos by Josephine Beeler and Florence Hesher. Their songs were very peppy and clever. Didn’t Gretchen Young make a wonderful looking witch? Then came the refreshment committee with the eats and we were delighted to see those red cheeked apples and home made popcorn balls. They tasted as good as they looked, too, and there was no limit to the number you ate. Le Cercle Francais met Tuesday even¬ ing, October 10th, at the home of Clara Sturgis. The charter was revised and of¬ ficers were elected. Dainty refreshments were served to the following members of the club: Roberta North, Florence Hesher, Dorothy Smith, Josephine De- Long, Thelma Clark and Miss Sturgis. A Hallowe’en party was given at the home of Miss Anna Louise Spake by Misses Kathryn Norris and Anna Louise Spake. The evening was spent in play¬ ing games. Those present were Betty Plessinger, Mary Williamson, Vivian Moon, Irene and Clara Watson, and Eu¬ nice Reinhart. Elizabeth Cook and Thelma Clark were hostesses to Sodalitas Latina at the Cook home November 1. The occasion was that of the initiation of eight pledges from the Cicero Class. After a gruesome recitation by the ghosts of departed Ro¬ mans in the attic and cellar, the cere¬ mony was carried through in true form. The somewhat startling appearance of the pledges in various uptown establishments was the only public evidence of the af¬ fair, however. A clever program was giv¬ en after initiation. Those received into the organization were: Martha Rose Morris, Carolyn Erickson, Mary Buckner, Lucile Markley, Madelyn Markley, Eliza¬ beth Morris, Dorothy Alspach and James Dailey. Charter members present were: Martha Ehle, Julia Reynolds, Josephine Norris, Edwina Watson, Josephine Beel¬ er, Miss Karns, Herman Gilbert, A1 Rob¬ inson, Edward P. Williamson, Elizabeth Cook, and Tel Clark. It was Friday evening, Septemper 22. Two noisy hay wagons started for Mar¬ jorie Patterson’s, seven miles southeast of Bluffton. The wagons were chaperon¬ ed by teachers. They arrived about nine o’clock. Sandwiches, potato chips, cake and bananas were served before the games began. Later on Paul Cromley and Harold Richie entertained all by cle¬ ver nonsense and Mr. Spear played. Com¬ ing home Miss Chard taught us some songs and played games with them. The French Club met Tuesday evening, October 17th, to initiate three new mem¬ bers: Alice Louise Bonham, Kate Fra¬ zier and Edward Paul Williamson. The rites are held secret, but it is generally known that it was a stiff initiation, and that the three were actually made to suf¬ fer. The horrors took place in a deserted spot, about a mile south of Uniondale. Frankfurters and marshmallows were toasted. I he Latin Club was delightfully en¬ tertained by Misses Helen Linn and Lu¬ cile Markley at the former’s home. All the members of the club were there. The charter members of Le Cercle Francais were delightfully entertained at a Hallowe’en party given by the newly initiated members, Alice Louise Bonham, Kate Frazier and Edward Paul William¬ son, at the former’s home. The house was appropriately decorated for the oc¬ casion. They were met at the door by a tall, black figure, who bade us enter into the “Lower Regions” which were very dark and gruesome. A liidebus old witch appeared during the evening and told the fortune of each guest. A rumor was started that it was “Sue Liest,” but it was later found that it was Julia Rey¬ nolds. A delicious two course luncheon was served to the following members: Clara Sturgis, Thelma Clark, Florence Heslier, Bob North, Helen Fetters, Jose¬ phine DeLong, Dorothy Smith, Katherine Frazier, Edward Paul Williamson and Alice Louise Bonham.

Jim Dailey entertained the members of the football team and Mr. French, Mr. Gay, Mr. Templin, Mr. Hufford and Coach Rippe at a delightful three course dinner Wednesday evening, November 8, at his home on South Main street. One of the most delightful social events of this high school year took place Thurs¬ day, November 16, when the initiates of the Sodalitis Latina entertained the charter members of the club at the home of Madelyn Markley. A clever playlet, with a rare combination of slang and Latin references, contests and a rather impromptu song by the older members. A dainty two course luncheon was serv¬ ed, which carried out the color scheme of the club, red and white. Those present were: Elizabeth Cook, Josephine Beeler, Helen Lien, Julia Reynolds, Edwina Wat¬ son, Martha Ehle, Joe Norris, Thelma Clark, A1 Robinson, Herman Gilbert, Ed¬ ward Williamson and hosts, Madelyn Markley, Mary Buckner, Carolyn Erick¬ son, Martha Rose Morris, Elizabeth Mor¬ ris, Dorothy Alspach Lucile Markley and Jim Dailey.

After some time, present¬ ing a most startling appearance, they were taken to the DeLong home, that is about one-half mile from that place, from whence they were obliged to wade mud to their destination. A ham and egg fry proved the chief attraction of the even¬ ing, in which the pledges were finally permitted to partake. Later the solemn oath was administered to Harriet Long¬ den, Rebecca Studabaker, Dwight Mock and Dwight Kennedy.

WHY IT IS HERE. « Once a long, long time ago, when Indians lived all around this coun¬ try, there was a beautiful Indian princess, Janiscan (Graceful) who was beloved by all the young braves for miles around. Manithan loved his daughter dearly and was interested in get¬ ting ' her a good husband, but Janiscan had othed plans. Sdie v as in love with Fleet Wings, god of the winds, whom no one had ever seen Now we all know that the Indians were very superstitious folk and to have his daughter fall in love with the wind-god, forboded danger to the anxious mind of Manithan. Accordingly in the fall moon of the Rain Month the announcement was sent all around of a feast and contest to be held in Manitlian’s camp the following Harvest Moon. Then the word was whispered about that Janiscan was to be given to the strongest man, the winner of the contest held during “The Feast of the Red Corn.” Manithan told his daughter of his plans, and ordered her to prepare h T wedding finery and make ready for the feast. In great unhappiness she hastened to her hiding place, a hollowed out tree, and called her lover Fleet Wing. He came swiftly and under cover of a tempest, spoke to her and discovered her plight, then gave her his promise of aid. The day set for the feast came around and Fleet Wing ' s promised help had not arrived. Janiscan was despondent. At last the contest was on. The story was circulated that Mother Earth was stronger than any man, woman or child, so the object was to see who could push a stick of wood the farthest in the earth. All the braves tried and the winner, Wincaster, was chosen. Janiscan tearfully dressed herself in the prepared wedding finery and went forth to the ceremony. All was silent and the chief’s upheld hand announced the beginning of the uniting when a horrible clanging was heard and there dropped at the side of the Chief a bar of some strange material, the like of which had never been seen. It was iron. Before the chief could regain his senses, a whirlwind of dust came down between the trees and out stepped a beautiful young man. The Indians staring in wonder at this supernatural vision were startled to see Janiscan run for¬ ward and drop to her knees at this strange person’s feet and ask in a strange voice “Are you Fleet Wing?” For she had never seen him. The warrior nodded and turned to the priest, saying, “The Fate will find a way.” With th ese words lie stood the iron bar on end and with one push ran it almost entirely into the earth. Then snatching Janiscan to him, they were both whisked away and v ere never again seen. To this day the iron bar remains in the earth and when the High School was built near this iron piece, my grandmother told me the his¬ tory of the iron bar and my ancestress, Janiscan. Julia E.

It’s just a little swagger-stick now—but wliat a history it could tell! On its once brilliant sides is engraved the date of making, 1829, now al¬ most effaced by time. The original handle is gone, and there is a place where some one’s inquisitive lingers had attempted to tear apart the wood to search for probable hid den treasure! Hidden treasure, indeed. But rather a wealth of fancy than of gold. So here is the story my grand¬ mother told my mother, and she told me, when it came into my posses¬ sion. Long ago, in the faraway duchy of Wurtemburg, lived a girl and a boy. The girl was my great-grandmother, Louise Van Giesel, the boy—I know nothing of him, save his name was Henri and he loved her. The girl lived in the city, far from the boy, never dreaming of his existence, until at eighteen, she spent a summer on the family estate hid¬ den away in the Black mountains. Even then to him she was the daugh¬ ter of a Van Geisel, master of the place, to her he was Henri (his last name was never preserved) a peasant, a poor wood-carver, who only knew how to bow and stammer before Louise. Besides, was she not bethothed to a young Austrian, in the city where Henri had never journeyed? How the meeting of these two came about, was never disclosed. But it, as many things do, simply happened. After a few weeks time she was no longer mistress; he, peasant—to each other at least they were Louise and Henri. As the summer passed the friendship, as friendships often do, deep¬ ened into love. It was a rather fugitive romance at times, for the fear of discovery was always present. But are not stolen fruits always sweetest? Louise found it so, at any rate. Finally the too-sliort summer came to an end, and it was time for lovers to part. Henri was too humble to beg her to stay with him, Louise too proud to first suggest this ending to Henri. So, both resolved not to show his true feeling, met for the last time. What h appened here must again be omitted. It v r as never told. We do know 7 that, at last, he gave her his firs and last gift. It w 7 as a dainty liand-stick, fashioned during long hours, all by his own hands, of the choicest wood the mountains afforded. Inlaid it was, of deep black walnut and old maple, the handle carved, fantastical—a master-piece. He told her bitterly he was like his gift, a toy, made for her day’s happi¬ ness, then, broken, thrown away and forgotten. Louise was too sad to reply. That was the end. Louise never saw him again. She married the Austrian, as had been decided. But always Henri’s toy was carefully guarded. She said after¬ wards she would have felt it was Henri himself she had wounded. However, it was not until grandmother was ready to marry that she learned the story. So impressed was she, that when she journeyed to the New World, it was brought along on the trip across the ocean. It was on the voyage that the beautiful handle was broken off. Thus it was that, in the twentieth century, I too, learned the story, and during the craze carried it for a swagger-stick. The story so bore upon my imagination, that since that time I dared not desecrate it by usage. So ends the tale. —Thelma Clark, Senior, ’23 THE CAMEO GIRL. Hurrali for the Cameo Girl! Wasn’t it just the very best show ever? Weren’t you proud of our ‘‘dignified” Seniors? Dorothy was a real little “queen” from the crown of her head to the tip of her toe. She fitted her part to perfection. She wasn ' t a bit self- conscious, not even when our dashing young hero, the Honorable Edward, staged some of those delightful “sliiek” scenes with her. She was just our own sweet winsome Dorothy all the way through. She has a lovely voice, and we’re absolutely positive that Galli Curci has nothing on her. Ed crowned his High School career by acting as the leading man to the fair Dorothy. When he murmured, “Marcia, I love you —didn’t your heart just go pitter patter! Very few of us realized that we had a bud¬ ding young Romeo in our midst. And dance! My soul! Didn’t he and Dorothy look just like professionals? We know now that Ed’s accom¬ plishments are not limited merely to basketball, football and track, but that he can be a real live actor as well. And Rusty! Wasn’t he the good looker though? Didn’t he look just like the real Rudolph? In fact lie almost put the “real” Rudolph in the shade when he made love to Harriet. Didn’t they act like they’d been in the “love making business” for years? Who knows—maybe they have— considering the ever present Kennedy and Mabel! At any rate Rusty ap¬ peared to be well versed in the art. W asn’t Harriet the little vamp as Mimi? We can hardly blame poor Rudolph for losing his heart. One look into those heavenly blue eyes, one toss of that curly blonde head would be enough to make any normal man’s head whirl. Xo wonder poor Rudolph felt like committing suicide, when she wouldn’t marry him, and we agree with him perfectly when he says “It doesn’t matter to me whether you’re a good cook or not. It would be heavenly just to have your presence at the table.” Aow comes the hit of the evening—our Professor ! Poor fellow, he was hard hit, wasn’t he? From his previous reputation at other per¬ formances we knew he was going to be good—but just how good we must not have realized, because we just had to laugh from the minute he came on the scene until the show was over! He has always been a clown within himself, and certainly proved his ability as a real actor to those who have not been privileged to know him so well. Sam is, without doubt, the best comedian that I . II. S. has ever had or ever will have. And the Duchess! Ko one but our own Helen could ever have played the part. Those curls! That dance! What a scream she was! She and the Professor kept the entire house in a continual uproar all the time they were on the stage. Helen certainly was a designing vampire in the first act when she succeeded in enmeshing the Professor’s charms. In the second act as the Professor’s better half, she led the poor, henpecked fel¬ low a merry chase, and their clever jokes and acting brought down the house. As Helen is an actress of ability, and we have seen her take more serious roles, we appreciate all the more her variation of the comedy drama. Some of the loudest laughs were for her. Bonny, Kate and Roberta, as Molly, Polly and Dolly, the three nieces were as sweet and charming as ever three nieces might he, at any rate the chancellors, George, Bus and Kennedy, seemed to think so. Weren’t the Chancellors funny in those queer old wigs and beards? And we can read¬ ily see why their beards would “tickle” poor Molly, Polly and Dolly most to death. Yoo! Hoo! Boys!. Each niece and each chancellor could not have been improved upon—and didn’t they make darling couples though? Helen Linn as the Spirit of Shadowland was very fascinating. She was extremely well suited to her part. Her lovely dark hair and eyes, to¬ gether with her picturesque costume, gave us a beautiful impression of what Shadowland might be. Fred Tangeinan and Klare Kilty as those two hilarious songsters, Kip and Tuck, were very witty and clever as usual. They performed their parts in a most natural manner and seemed to be perfectly as home. As waiters they could not be imitated, in fact we couldn ' t imagine anyone in their places. Harriet Lambert and Esther Blosser as the bewitching little pages in the Coronation scene were very attractive and pretty. They did good credit to their parts and made a very pleasing appearance to the au¬ dience. The choruses were all very clever and enjoyable. They were all snap¬ py and well suited to the play. The Pierette chorus was very difficult and it lias been classed as a professional chorus. So, naturally, we are quite proud of all of our dainty damsels who contributed to its brilliant suc¬ cess. The Old Fashioned Miss and Jazz Girl ' s chorus, the Powder Puff chorus, and well—all of them were perfect. We couldn’t have wished for anything better. Then our three most able soloists, Marie Swisher, Florence Hesher and Albert Robinson—our play couldn’t have been a success if it hadn ' t been for them. We should consider ourselves fortunate indeed to have such a wonderful prima donna as Marie in our class, and as for Florence and Al, we knew they would prove their worth. So from the minute the curtain went up on the first scene until it was run down on the last act “The Cameo Girl” was a huge success, hap¬ py, snappy and clever. “The Cameo Qirl” “The Cameo Qirl” ( d J {- Qirls’ Qlee Club The year 1922- ' 23 was an exceptionally successful one for the hi iris Glee Club of II. H. S. With a chorus of good voices and Miss achon as leader, the girls made a hit wherever they sang. The Club consisted of twenty-three Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and Senior mem¬ bers. Helen Linn was the accompanist. The girls appeared in public several times at the different churches. On March 20, opening exercises at Teachers’ Institute, a cycle of Songs of the Season were sung. The girls were attractively dressed in costumes for each season. I lie concert at the Laptist church on May 20, was very successful. Tins was given by the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Club, under the direction of Miss A aclion, assisted by Miss Marie Swisher. The Girls’ Glee Club ad¬ ded their Songs of Springtime to the program. Much credit must be given to Miss Vachon, who really caused this club to have such a splendid year.

No. 14 BLUFFTON, INDIANA FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1930 ASSEMBLIES Professor Edward P. Williamson, A. M., Ph. D„ LL. D., Bl., A. B., M. M., made a fine address to the high school students during his transient visit to his home town last week. Professor Williamson is a promin¬ ent member of the faculty at Har¬ vard University. On Monday of last week Rev. Herman Gilbert, D. D., gave us an inspiring talk on “High School Morals of Today.” Rev. Gilbert is conducting evangelistic services at the Methodist church this week. We were very fortunate last week in these two alumni who visited with us. They are fitting examples of what diligent students may be¬ come. A snappy pep meeting was held last Wednesday, in order to give the student body enthusiasm for our football game with Decatur that afternoon. Another short assembly was held Thursday morning in hon¬ or of our victory. Rousing yells for the team were given, and Coach Don Colbert, ’23, made a short speech. VAN GOULD-EHLE Chicago, Oct. 29.—A pretty wed¬ ding of yesterday morning was that of Miss Martha Ehle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ehle, of Michigan Avenue, who was united in marriage to Aleister Van Gould, of Boston. A large number of rel¬ atives and intimate friends gather¬ ed to witness the ceremony. Mrs. Roberta VanGould, preceded Miss Ehle as Matron of Honor. The bride, a beautiful young wo¬ man, was charming in her gown of white satin, made sleeveless and overhung with net; beaded ex¬ quisitely in crystal beads. Her tule veil was fashioned with wired brim of duchess lace. The bride and matron of honor were met at the improvised altar of palm ferns and tall cathedral candles by the groom, Aleister Van Gould, and his best man, Robert Van Gould. At noon Mr. and Mrs. Van Gould left for Ashville, North Carolina, for a short honeymoon. From there (Continued on Page Two) ALUMNI Editor William Weisell recently received a letter from Albert Rob¬ inson, who was editor of the Comet in 1923, and as there are many things of interest to high school students in the communication, our Alumni Ed is publishing it. The letter is follows: E. A. ROBINSON Manufacturing Chemist Philadelphia, Penna. William Weisell, Editor-in-chief Comet, Bluffton, Indiana. Dear William:— How is the old High school by this time? I have been a subscrib¬ er to the Comet ever since I left the old Alma Mater, and this is a letter I’ve been intending to write for some time, as I think it may be of use to your Alumni Editor. My wife (for you probably re¬ member that I married my high school sweetheart, Elizabeth Cook) and I went to the theatre the other evening with Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Barrick, who were stopping here enroute to New York. Mrs. Barrick, formerly Thelma Clark, was to at¬ tend a literary convention there. Their home is in Toledo, Ohio. I’ve seen several of my high school classmates in the last few months.

The case of Fred Karnes, local automobile dealer, and B. H. S., which was postponed from last spring will be brought to court to¬ morrow. Mr. and Mrs. Karnes, (Formerly Miss Beulah Earhart) brought suit against the high school for a window broken by a ball thrown by one of our baseball team. The prosecuting attorney, Joseph Sowards, has charge of Mr. Karnes’ case and Miss Grace Vore is the attorney for the high school. Mr. and Mrs. Karnes have been very nice about the boys tresspassing on their lawn and we sincerely hope things will be adjusted to the ad¬ vantage of both. The excellent work of Miss Dessie Swartz in the particular case, is especially worthy of mention.

They fit into the most simple or the most elaborate composi¬ tions. Unlike the actor who tries to “hog” the business of the other mem¬ bers of the cast, flowers, through their own beauty, bring out more strongly the beauty of their surroundings. A vase of flowers before a picture, a corsage, on an evening gown, a cen¬ ter-piece on an excellently appointed fable, give greater interest to the pic¬ ture, added attractiveness to the ev¬ ening gown and enliven the dinner party.

MEETS AT BLISS HOTEL FRIDAY EVENINGS AT 6:30 “SERVICE” 3 HIS merchantile institution gathers commodities from the markets of the world and distributes them to the users in this vicinity. Skill and knowledge are needed to do this service well. Expert judgment as to quality and style and money values is needed on the one hand; and expert knowledge of the buying needs and desires of the store’s clientele is needed on the other. A capital error on either side spells disaster. For a half century this institution has been performing its mission of service conscientiously and with more than a fair meas¬ ure of efficiency. New blood lias been continuously brought in to avoid ultra conservatism, but never at the expense of lowering the high standards of its business practices. Progressiveness and stability maintain its continued state of highest usefulness. This store is vour store to use: it is an institution of service. nJanJi dm Z. E. MALCOLM PALMER GRADUATE STD L. H.
