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. Not long ago, while in Boston, I had lunch with my old friend, G. D. Mock. He is manager of a large coast-wise airplane serv¬ ice. He was married last year to a New York society favorite, Miss Hyacinth McDonaldson, whom you may remember. I went to the library yesterday for a treatise on Chemistry, and was surprised to find that the head librarian is Sara Gitlin. She seems to be doing wonderful work there. George Glass was here not long ago. He is now head of the Ath- (Continued on page three.) B. H. S. GRADUATE HONORED BY PRESIDENT Miss Roberta North, class of ’23, has been commended by the Presi¬ dent for her splendid service ren¬ dered during his recent illness, and has been made head nurse at the White House. We certainly are proud of the honor of this former student, who has won national re¬ nown. LOCALS LYCEUM ENTERTAINMENT We all enjoyed the second num¬ ber of the Lyceum Course, given at the Presbyterian church, Tuesday evening. Miss Helen Tribolet, the clever entetainer, and Miss Marie Swisher, the lovely contralto gave us a most pleasing and interesting program. Both Misses Tribolet and Swisher are graduates of B. H. S. Don’t tell us that Bluffton isn’t the home town of talent? SCANDAL AVOIDED One of the prominent Juniors was caught stealing an all day sucker in the Morris five and ten cent store the other day. The name of the culprit, however, has been suppressed by request of Miss Mary Shields, who is assistant man¬ ager of the Morris Co., thus avoid¬ ing huge scandal. The Sunshine Club has just re¬ ceived a new Oder of candy. It has been tested by Miss Lavbert, our popular art teacher, and she has pronounced it delicious. It will go on sale Monday. Margaret Jane Morris entertain¬ ed the Comet Staff at a 6 o’clock dinner November 17. Every mem¬ ber was present and wonderful plans were made for the next Co¬ met. CASE OF KARNES VS B. H. S. 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.
