the weenies, to make them taste good, we had the additional joy of seeing our joe hopping around in a three inch skirt, while being chased by a boy with a harmless water snake. Of course it was not the boy she ran from! In spite of many resolutions to walk to Dunlaps afterwards, we were glad enough to hop a wagon back to old Elkhart and were finally deposited safely at the Family Theatre. Next the class was delightfully entertained at the home of Miss Kantz in Bristol. This was followed by a sudden burst of friendship between the H A's of that time, and ourselves. This was manifested by several joint parties at the homes of Lora Ziesel, Catherine Jane Reed and Beatrice Brumbaugh. Then one day a cherished plan came to pass and Mr. Snyder be- came an honorary member of the class. He shows his opinion of our pins and our class in general by wearing our emblem on his coat. Qlf you have not noticed this look at oncej. However, the promised party in his honor still remains a dream of the future. Strange to tell, we began to realize our lack of funds in the treas- ury and then we conceived the very original plan, of which we are so proud, that of selling candy at the basketball games. As expected, this little business undertaking filled our coffers with gold. Since becoming II A's, the entertainment committee' has decided that we should no longer indulge in such childish pleasures as parties and so we have contented ourselves with occasional meetings in Miss Grimes' room. The parties are scarcely missed for we are now occu- pied with more serious things, among them rhetoricals, term reports and graduation essays. And now the great days are drawing near. We do not like to boast but we firmly believe that the class play, Polly Primrosef' is going to be the best ever. Graduation day shines ahead and the boys are beginning to consider the color of their suits, socks and neckties, and girls, the style of their frocks. Thus closes the last chapter of our class history, and we hope the future maj' deal as kindly with us as has E. H. S. H. L. Twenty-eight WWW'

las .sr-Fllileltcs D By John Chester. The athletic strength of the Class of june. '15, has not been in numbers. Although we can only claim five men, these live have a total of seventeen letters to their creditg and in Carl Buyer and Stuart Cochran we have two of the best athletes in the history of E. H. S. Carl Buyer, or Smiley, is our all-around athlete. He has taken E's' in every branch of High School athletics-one in baseball, two each in track and basketball and three in football. Buyer is a frail little thing Qheight 6 feet 1 inch, weight 180 poundsj, but i11 spite of this handicap he managed to secure a place on the football team. Carl played a smashing offensive and defensive game at tackle and spoiled many of the opponents' plays, besides clearing the way for Elkhart's runner on offensive work. At center for two years on the basketball team, Carl out-jumped every opponent and played a good guarding game, besides making one-third of Elkhart's field goals. He was one of the biggest factors in making our team-work a success. In track athletics. Buyer is the chief weight man for the Blue and XYhite, and is also a good broad jumper and sprinter. The record of Stuart Cochran in football is one that may well be envied by any athlete of Northern Indiana. Stew nailed down a position in the line in his Freshman year, and his work that year showed that he was a natural football player. In 1912, Cochran played in most of the games at left half. and his line plunging was one of the reasons that Elkhart won the championship that year. It was a sight to bring joy to the hearts of the 'lllue and XYhite rooters to see Stuart rip through the enemies' line and make a gain of fifteen or twenty yards, taking most of the opponents' backfield with him. Coch- ran played fullback and halfback in his Junior year. and his long, sailing punts and his line bucking continued to swell Elkharfs scores. Thirty
