Come, let us sail away in fancy to the not so distant past which is even now becoming but a memory and is slipping from our grasp. If this volume made up, as it is, of bits of nonsense, fragments of song, images of familiar faces, chests of golden memories, serves but to save these precious moments from the sea of oblivion: if it has caught and held for a space the fleeting spirit of our school days, then, indeed, shall we say, All is well.

She began her education in the public schools, and was graduated from Butler University in 1910, the honor member of her class, She took a post-graduate course at Columbia University from which school she received an A. M. degree. ln 1924 she was called back to Butler and made a member of the Phi Kappa Phi honorary fraternity which had just been organized there. ln 1910 she accepted a position in the English depart- ment of the local high school and remained with the school for lifteen years, holding the position of head of the department for the last ten years. She was for the second time a member of the Senior Advisory Board at the time of her death: she was the Adviser of the Handbook of 1926 and for many years she had been the Adviser of the Sargasso staffs. ln September 1925 she became ill and was compelled to relinquish her Work: after four months of continual suffering, she died on January 25, 1926. I 1 DEDICATION To the memory of Blanche Avon Ryker, whose excellent mental gifts and special aptitude for teaching were coupled with a personality that was gracious, charming, and beautiful, a woman who inspired all with whom she came in contact to higher, nobler ideals, whose influence will euer be a cherished heritage for all her friends- we, the Senior Class of 1926, dedicate this book.

That is true, but it does not repeat itself to the same generation. Those experiences which occurred to the classes last year, the year before, and back unto the beginning have been entirely new to us and are our dearest and sweetest memories. On September 8, the school entered upon one of its most auspicious years. The classes elected officers at once and prepared for the many coming activities. Booster Week beginning October 5, instituted for the purpose of stimulat- ing pride in Kokomo, was observed. Several students spoke in the local theatres during the week, and at Booster convocation lVlr. George Freeman, Mr. Caylor, our new music instructor, Wayne Tolle, Harriet Gross, and Lowell Fawcett aroused enthusiasm by their talks. On October 2 the class of '25 presented the high school with a valuable oil painting by an lndiana artist, Edward R. Sitzman. The Hi-Y gave a play, A'Snappy Arrives. on October Zl, and on October 31 they gave their celebrated annual Mystery Ramble. Our second Homecoming came on November 7: and after a victorious game which ended a brilliant football season, we honored the football team and the alumni with a banquet at the Masonic Temple. On November 25 all joyfully dispersed for the two days Thanksgiving vacation. The Hi-Y boys attended the State Y. M. C. A. Conference at Anderson November 27, and out of more than a thousand delegates Wayne Tolle was elected state secretary. During the fall we enjoyed many interesting convocations. On October 7 the Little Symphony Orchestra of Chicago gave a concert: November 10 the Dramatic Club gave a play entitled Sauce for the Goslingsn which depicted the ridiculous usage of slang: on December 3, Charles Brandon Booth addressed the students: and on December 7, the Reverend Murray S. Kenworthy spoke, telling of conditions in Russia. The last day before Christmas vacation, in order to inspire us with the true holiday spirit, we had a varied program which included a film, The Christmas Carol, and a play presented by the Dramatic Club, 'fWhy the Chimes Rang. In the evening the girls' gym classes gave a play in keeping with the season. lt was a wonderful vacation and we were loath to see it pass, but we soon settled down to hard work once more. Our annual Hello Week, sponsored by the Student Council, began February 7 and many were the acquaintances made with the aid of various contests. A special event was arranged for each day. The week began and ended with a convocation. On Lincoln's birthday we were honored by having several of the few remaining Civil War Veterans with us, who gave patriotic talks. Pg! On March 25 and 26 the Seniors presented their class play, The Arrival of Kitty, a rollicking comedy which was enthusiastically received. Late in the year the vocational department gave an exhibit of its year's work. We are proud of this department as it ranks as one of the best in the state. Among the entertainments afforded us during the spring were a film, The Last Days of Pompeii, brought to the school under the auspices of the Latin Club, a concert presented by the Betsy Ross Trio, an address by Coach Thistle- thwaite of Northwestern University, who presented honors to the football men, and an address by Frederick Libby, executive secretary of the National Council for Prevention of War. K. H, S, is proud of its record this year. Lois Purvis and Elizabeth McKorkle won first places in the Virgil and Cicero District Latin Contests respectively: our basket-ball team after an exceptionally good year won the county and sectional meets, being defeated only in the regional meet by the state champion team, Marion: the track team Won sixth place in the National meet at Chicago. March 27, and enjoyed a profitable season. Two new clubs, the History Club and the HifTri Club, were organized and the Chemistry Club was reorganized: a band was started and the orchestra was greatly improved under Mr. Caylor's leadership: and the Red and Blue developed into a six-page paper. Our only regrets of the year were caused by the deaths of Mr. Horace Woody', for many years the principal and later a teacher of K. H. S., Miss Blanche Ryker, one of the most beloved teachers in our high school, Mr. Ralph Phillips, a teacher who held the love of the students because of his untiring patience and helpful kindness, and Vklanda Colescott. a member of the class of '27, Whose death is mourned by many friends. The Junior--Senior Reception, Class Day. Baccalaureate Services, and Commencement exercises closed one of the happiest years of our school life. - - 1 i ii..,i.i.'.,m..,f,i ra,m.,.i.-I Page eleven X, Pug. fXliNlSIlO J, A. KAUTI K. ll RICH lrrilsur I'li'siil4'17I .Smri'!ur'q SCHOOL BOARD The sturdy pioneers who came to Kokomo less than one hundred years ago were very much interested in education. lmmediately after their homes had been built, they turned their attention to the erection of a church and school house. lt is a long way from the little log school house of l845 with its icy-hot room, where the scholars' backs froze while their faces burned: from a school where readin', ritin', and 'rithmetic were indeed dispensed to the tune of a hickory stick, to the handsome steam-heated high school of l926, with its Well-trained instructors and modern text books. Through all these years a group of men known as the school board has been vitally interested in Kokomo schools. Though this board has differed in personnel, its purpose and chief consideration, the welfare of the school child, has remained the same. Our school board is composed of three members who act through the superintendent, Mr. Haworth, and he, in turn, acts through the principal, Mr. Hinshaw. The present members are Mr. J. A, Kautz, Mr. A. B. Arm- strong, and Mr. Kenneth Rich. Mr. Kautz has served sixteen years on the school board: Mr. Armstrong, fourteen years: and Mr. Rich was elected in l922. Too much cannot be said in praise of their administration: and as actions speak louder than words, We can only point to the many advantages which we have gained under their control. Vsle are extremely proud of our schools and our opportunities: and to our school board We extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation. Page twelve fi, V, l l1XNVORTH fi. F. l llNSll1XW' Sizpvrirzlumlent Principal Now-a-days when we see a man with the proverbial ten or twelve children, we heave a sigh and feel very sorrv for him and are glad that we are not in his shoes. But it never occurs to us that there is, in our midst, a man who has not only the educational, but the physical, moral, and spiritual well-being of about seven thousand children in his hands. That man is the superintendent of our schools, Mr. Haworth. But, unlike the old woman in the shoe, Mr. Haworth does know what to do with his children, and he doesn't have to spank them and put them to bed without any supper. Throughout all his service as superintendent he has ever been the same jolly, helpful, kind-hearted gentleman, a capable and reliable superintendent, and an ideal friend. Like any other large organization, the high school must have a director, or a head. Mr. Hinshaw is truly our head: first, because he is our principal, and second, because he heads us off in our mischief. One duty is about as important as the other, and he fulfills both admirably. Mr. Hinshaw's patience is the marvel of his friends, and the trait which makes him an ideal principal. The teachers, as well as the students, find him a friend. When anyone in class disturbs the peace or in any way deserves punishment, he is immediately sent to 206, knowing he will be dealt with justly. Mr. Hinshaw is always glad to advise us concerning our programs, or to help us in our many difficulties. Kokomo High School is fortunate to be under the guidance of Mr. Hinshaw, a man of sterling character. Page thirzccn ugu fourlcc THE FACULTY The faculty is an institution in our school which has come down to us from our forefathers. As an institution it possesses many excellent qualities, and its fame has spread abroad so that now there is no school in the world without this august body. Our faculty members are unusually versatile people, but their main interest is centered in the students, and for them they toil. As the poet has said: How sweet it is to rear the lender mind, To teach the young idea how to shoot. ' But in the case of the teachers this sweet is often turned to bittersweet, as the young generally prefer to shoot paperwads. The duties of the faculty are to come to school at eight o'clock and stay until four: and meanwhile they ask us questions if they want to know some- thing, and if they can't remember the answers they have us write them out, and this is called a test. If there happens to be a student of whom the teacher is particularly fond, that student is asked to remain in that class another term, and that is called l'lunking. The faculty is extremely tender-hearted, and their feelings are always easily hurt, so all the students are very careful in this respect and try never to do or say anything they shouldn't, and so everything is harmony and peace.

SENIOR PAREWELL It was four years ago, in September of l922, that the present graduating class first entered the hall of the Winged Victory, gazed in wondering awe upon the dignified Seniors, and trod in fear and trembling before the all-seeing eyes of the superior instructors. The first year was one of innumerable trials and pitfalls. Never were we allowed to forget our insignificance, our unworthiness, our absolute unim- portance. Never did we lose our reverence for those haughty Seniors, who treated us with such unfeigned superciliousness. lt was then that the faculty proved themselves our friends indeed: and their acts of kindness then were the seeds of a friendship and gratitude, which has endured throughout all four of our years with them. Our freshman year was a hard one: but strenuous as our life was, it was not without its thrills, its disappointments, its days of evidenced progress, and its hours of ennui. Many of our weaker classmates dropped by the wayside, but those of us who braved the tide received an invaluable training for those responsibilities which came to us later. What a thrill it was to emerge from the shell of the Freshmen and step into the shoes of the Sophomores! Now we had conquered our inferiority complex and were starting to work, with June three years hence as our goal. Now we could slap the Freshie on the back, tell him to 'lbrace up, and, if we chose- snub him. The stars of our class began to take their places and gleam from the myriad constellations of school activities. Then like magic that second year passed, we became contemptuous Juniors, conversant with the Seniors, and pals of the teachers. We were buoyant almost to frivolily, since we felt that most of our work was behind us. XVe proudly flaunted our class jewelry in the halls and class rooms. We labored all year in preparation for one gala occasion-the Junior-Senior Reception. VJe were encouraged by the fact that the next year we should be the happy recipients: and, of course, we gave the best reception that has ever been held. Then came that eventful autumn when we returned to K. H. S. as Seniors. At last we were the envied ones, the class of influence and privilege. We had Page tzuenly-tiuu lived in anticipation of the day when we should become Seniorsg but when that day arrived, our responsibilities sobered us, and we became quiet, sedate, and serious. We wondered how the preceding three years could have slipped by so rapidly and left us, as it were, in abject ignorance. With the feeling that there was no time to be lost, we set to work with a determination to avail ourselves of every opportunity presented. We chose the best of officers, gave with marvelous success, the second homecoming in the history of the school, and entered with new Zeal into the best year of our life at K. H. S. Each year, we had had an appointed guardian angel. Always, it was to our adviser that we brought our troubles and grievances. It was her advice and friendly counsel which helped us meet our problems as they confronted us. As Freshies, we were conducted by the kindly hand of Miss McCune. We ever associate the most pleasant memories with her name. As Sophomores, we were again most graciously assisted by her: but when we became Juniors, We were considered so much of a problem that it was deemed necessary for us to have not only one adviser but an advisory committee. Miss McCune, Miss Mendenhall, and Mr. lmmel composed that committee. The Seniors lost one of their dearest friends, Miss Ryker, who was at the time of her death a member of the Senior advisory board. Miss Ross and lvlr. lVlcCarty have piloted us, on that last home stretch, which is the most strenuous of our high school career, and we are very grateful for their assistance. During the years spent in this temple of learning, we have gained many things. We have formed ideals and convictions which will prove lastingg we have received knowledge which will remain with us and further our culture: and we have formed ties of friendship which have made our lives richer and nobler. Just as our studies have developed us mentally, and as our sports have developed us physically, so has our association with our classmates and teachers developed us morally. Through our comradely companionship and mutual interests we have learned the great lessons of truth, charity, generosity, fair- play, and service. For all this We are deeply indebted to our school board, our superintendent, our principal and our faculty. Thrice have we seen the Seniors weep, as they received their diplomas and passed beyond the threshold. Blame us not if we, too, shed a tear on leaving the school- which has been our home for four happy years. With mingled emotions of joy and sorrow, we bid farewell to our Alma Mater.

The ordinary student is not clever enough to realize with what ease and pleasure publicity can be ohtained: but this group contrives to gain temporary admiration and awe for itself, at least six times a year. After each startling announcement, however, these names are promptly for- gotten until, with characteristic perseverance, they reappear. The majority of the students regard this intellectual band as superhuman: while the faculty cherish it among its most precious possessions. lt is generally conceded that these persons uphold the beacon of knowledge: though we hate to admit that our Idols have clay feet, yet even we, with our somnolent brains, cannot help seeing their one besetting weakness. It is strange that so large a number of intellectuals, possessing so much acumen, could be so utterly foolish as to labor incessantly, often burning the midnight oil, for just a paltry strip of satin decoration. Some one with a strong sense of duty really should tell them how much easier it would be simply to purchase a few inches of ribbon at the ten cent store. By so doing one might wear his ornament throughout the year, instead of waiting until everyone who would be properly impressed is dismissed from schoolg furthermore, much useless effort could be avoided. But although most of us find these honor roll students a trifle hard to understand, we realize that they reflect credit and honor on our school. Long may they live and may their tribe increase! The following are Seniors who have won laurels during the last three years. As none of us are prophets, it is not for us to say who will be the fortunate ones this spring, but, judging by past records, a comparatively accurate guess might be made.

Stormy weather was encountered during the first few weeks, and for a time it was feared that mutiny would break out, as the crew were divided in their choice of a commander for the ship. But in due time Ralph Hutchins was made captain, Paul Huston first mate, Thelma Overton ensign, and George Davis purser. Being thus ably manned, the K-27 weathered the gales. During the winter months the crew was not idle, but at each port sold candy. This procedure greatly enriched the ship's purse and gladdened the heart of the purser. ln March the crew acquired various articles of adornment such as class rings and pins. These mementoes of the voyage are highly esteemed and will no doubt be worn for years as reminders of the K-27. We hope that now every member of the crew is ready to submerge in the Gulf of Vacation and emerge on the other side a Senior: for remember, it takes the Juniors to become Seniors.

They knew just what to do, for had they not had a class meeting when they were freshmen and were so young and babyish. Perhaps they had not done it all by themselves, but almost all. But this year they needed no help and before they adjourned they had elected class ofhcers and six members for the Student Council. Time passed and the days were full of studies and games and play. Their parents and teachers thought that busy children were happy children, so they allowed them to earn some money. They worked hard selling sandwiches and other good things to eat, and put the money in their bank to save until they were older when, with the advice of their teachers, they could spend it wisely. As the spring days approached, bringing with them an air of festivity, the sophomores wanted to celebrate the season, so they had a party, at which every one had a delightful time. When school was finally over and they said goodbye for vacation, they vowed this was the very happiest year they had ever had.

Miss Covalt, Mr. Freeland, bliss Rykcr served on the Senior Board and Mr. Phillips on the Junior Board until their deaths in January. In order to suppress the ever increasing energy of the students, three guar- dians were appointed for each class, to hold it in check. On the supposition that practice makes perfect, these advisers were made permanent wardens of the respective classes, so that in the passage of the years they might learn to cope with the problems that invariably arise. As the advisory boards are appointed and have become a permanent fixture in our school life, We are perhaps too prone to accept them as a matter of course. But these advisers have spent many precious hours, laboring for the uplift of their respective wards: and although now we may not realize the extent of their help, in a few years We shall fully appreciate the value of their friendship and kindly aid.

For years it has been the custom of the senior class to publish a volume containing such odds and ends as have been assembled in this book. Each year a business staff has devoted its time to the sale of advertising and schemes of Wildcat finance, always living up to its motto, 'AGather ye pennies where ye may, so that a group of fanatical editors may satisfy their extravagant ideas. If an accurate list were given of everyone to Whom credit is due, we should be obliged to wait until the next census is taken, for this is everyone's book. However, there are a few associate members of the staff whom we should like to mention. Miss Ross and Mr. Coughlan by their advice rescued the staff from many difficulties, It was spurred on to the end of the year by their encouragement and counsel. Miss McKinley supervised the work of the Sargasso artists, The Sargasso typists, Mary Ardella Main, NVilda Pingry, and Pauline Alley, spent many tedious hours faithfully clicking the keys to aid the completion of this volume. To the Red and Blue, the engravers, and the printers, the staff extends its sincere gratitude, for it was by their cooperation that the staff was able to Stem the tide of discouragements, and to weather the storms of the Sargasso Sea.

Freshmen Editor sislyeninc 1 JOHN BUTCIIER, lfflilor-in-chief EDWARD PERRY, Business Manager RED AND BLUE Born into a hostile world in the year l922, as an unassuming fortnightly publication, sponsored by the Hi-Y, the high school paper struggled on to the distinction of being a four page, five column weekly, bearing the name of the Red and Blue. This publication was at first regarded, by the powers that be, merely as an indication of overabundance of youthful energy, but it has now proved its worth and longevity to both faculty and students. This year the paper has grown into a six page edition and even the members of the staff, having in mind a recent contribution of their own, will admit that the Red and Blue is a high grade paper. However, it is always being criticized either for lack of pep by the students or too much pep by the teachers. A position on the staff is eagerly sought, for the editors cut classes and neglect lessons, with impunity, since they always have a supply of detained slips and plausible excuses. The experience gained by the staff is invaluable, though too often an S. O. S. from the cornfield is mistaken for one from the newspaper Held, and the ambitious reporter finds his career as a writer dis- tinguished for static rather than statistics. The Red and Blue has changed fifth period, Friday, from an occasion of boredom to one of thrills. One can feel the tingling sensation of his hair rising while reading Spud Bacon's Travelogues or enjoy surreptitious mirth, reading Hall Talk. The climax of thrills is reached, however, when one sees his own name on the front page. Page seventy Editor-i'n-chief Manatying Editor . Head-Lim' Editor . . Make-up Editor . . News Editor .

Coughlan Annually the Student Council issues that pocket guide, the Handbook, guaranteed to save all freshies and upper classmen from many a pitfall. It is edited during the summer months by seven students, selected because they are so much interested in school Work that they can not endure vacation idleness. Three years ago the Handbook made its debut and was eagerly sought by all students. The timid Freshmen, unacquainted with the sacred precincts of their new environment, break all speed limits of the high school corridors and commit other blunders.

This comedy centers about the scheme of William Winkler to force his young niece, Jane, to marry Benjamin More. whom she has never seen. and thus receive ten thousand dollars promised in her father's will if this marriage should take place before she is of age. To save Jane from this fate. Bobby Baxter. her lover. impersonates Kitty. an actress whom Mr. Winkler loves. and the climax is finally reached when the false and the real Kitty meet. Mr. More marries Aunt Jane, the spinster sister of Mr. Winkler. and since the will had stipulated only that Benjamin More marry Jane. everyone was happy. All the parts were portrayed exceptionally well, and the High School is justly proud of its Senior talent. However, the opinions of outsiders are sometimes more valued as they are entirely unprejudicedg therefore we quote the local newspapers. f'Tribune, Friday, March 262 Outstanding in the play is Robert Masters in the roles of Bobbie Baxter and the pseudo- Kitty. Bringing to the part an experience of having played with the Stuart Walker company for a season and having taken part in a number of amateur performances, he was perfectly at home on the stage. His interpretation of the Julian Eltinge role was exceptionally well done. The real Kitty who appears toward the latter part of the second act was portrayed in a pleasing manner by Miss Geneva Patterson. As Jane, the heroine. Miss Esther Smith was good to look at, she spoke her lines with confidence and clearness, and in all ways adequately served as Bobbie's sweetheart. Aunt Jane as played by Miss Constance Hamilton was excellent in her part. Miss Loretta Hinkle took the part of Suzette, the little French maid. The difficult role of the garrulous Benjamin More was enacted by Charles Bender. The part is one of the leads and has some of the best lines of the whole play. That he interpreted it most adequately was the opinion of all who saw the performance. Ed Perry as the scheming William Winkler carried off honors and gave a finished per- formance of one of the heaviest roles of the play. Durward Paris in the important role of Ting was responsible largely for the smooth working of the action through the three acts and was ably assisted by Henry George. as Sam, the servant. friend and ally of anyone who would produce a tip of generous size. Sam's role was comedy throughout and Mr. George put it across in fine style. Much of the success of the play is due to the efforts of Lester McCarty and Miss Helen Ross of the faculty who directed the rehearsals. Preceding the play and between acts a number of selections were played by the high school orchestra which is making such splendid progress under the direction of John S. Caylor. fDispatch, Friday, March 262 The role of Ting taken by Durward Paris is an important one, and is splendidly acted. Sam, the colored servant as played by Henry George, supplies many a laugh. The role of William Winkler. which is perhaps the heaviest one of the play, is successfully portrayed by Ed Perry. Miss Constance Hamilton plays well the part of Aunt Jane, the spinster, Esther Smith, as Jane the niece, was a real star and won approval of the audience. Robert Masters as Bobbie Baxter, not only played well the role of Jane's lover. but gave a surprisingly good impersonation of Kitty, the actress. Mr. Masters is not new in theatrical endeavor, having spent a season while living in Columbus, O., with the Stuart Walker Company. - The real Kitty was played by Miss Geneva Patterson and the climax came when the real Kitty and the false one met. Charles Bender made a star performance of the role of Benjamin More, who came to marry Jane the niece, was vamped by Kitty and who nnally became the betrothed of Aunt Jane. Although a minor part, that of Suzette. the French maid. was well taken by Loretta Hinkle Page scvcnly-five WHY THE CHIMES RANCH Holgar. a peasant boy Robert Masters Stien. his younger brother . , Jane Shoaf Bertal, their uncle . .

C eorge Davis When Christmas vacation was only a day off and the happy holiday spirit was pervading the air. the Dramatic Club presented a play in keeping with the season, entitled A'NVhy the Chimes Rang. The first scene showed the interior of a woodfchoppens hut at dusk. Stien and Holgar were waiting for their uncle's arrival, for he was to take them to the cathedral to hear the chimes ring. After he arrived, an old woman entered unnoticed. As they were leaving, they saw her, and Holgar remained to feed her. In the next scene several people, of different types, gave rich gifts: but it was I-lolgar's small coin which finally caused the chimes to ring. The play was not only beautiful but impressive and presented its lesson of forgetfulness of self in a manner not easily forgotten. The hush that followed the falling of the curtain bore mute testimony to its effect upon the audience. The characters were well portrayed by an all-star cast, some of whom were old favorites before the footlights: others displayed unsuspected talent. The photographer has succeeded in reproducing all of the cast, but one, The bright star. suspended over the stool. amid Stygian darkness, is Katherine Duke, who has evidently gone into eclipse. 1'z1t1e 1 THE CAPTAIN OF PLYMOUTH Miles Standish. . . . .

Mr. Caylor, justly proud of his Boys' and Girls' Cilee Clubs, presented the operetta in order to exhibit them to parents and friends. Miss Laughlin aided Mr. Caylor in the dramatic parts and together they developed the musical prodigies until they were finished products. The story, though old, is up to date, being founded on the eternal triangle. The impressive old soldier, Miles Standish, his handsome young friend, John Alden, and the Puritan maiden, Priscilla, are well known to everyone. Al- though taken from LongfelloW's serious poem, 'AThe Courtship of Miles Standish, the operetta was Hlled with puns and was amusing throughout. The picturesque costumes were in keeping with the historical setting of the play and each part was well enacted. The maidens were charming, John Alden spoke for himself and the Indian braves looked fierce enough to frighten even the imposing Miles Standish and his Puritan comrades. The music of the different choruses was entrancing, and the orchestra added a decided charm to the performance. lluge ser'i'n!i1fsi't'i'n ORCHESTRA AND BAND The orchestra, under the supervision of Mr. Caylor, has learned to mingle in close harmony. The familiar squeaking violins and blasting cornets have been converted into quite tuneful instruments. In fact, frequently, the orches- tra becomes so conceited that it reveals its rapid progress to the public in the form of a concert. It is rewarded by the enthusiastic approval of classical music lovers and the mild approbation of the jazz-loving element. The forty members of the orchestra have worked industriously this year to buy a double bass for themselves and two tubas for the band. Due to Mr. Caylor's untiring efforts a band was organized at the beginning of the last semester. Although rather small in size it is mighty in sound and has stimulated pep at the basketfball games. The band is composed of thirty members, most of Whom are just beginning their musical career. While it is sometimes disturbing to those who study the eighth period, it is entertaining to others who stroll in the halls and Wander into the auditorium as a place of refuge. Puyt' si't't'17! g-right THE BOYS' AND GIRLS' GLEE CLUBS OFFICERS OF Tin: Bouts' CLUB Howard Blake . . . r .President Ralph Hutto. i Vice-Presidenl Kenneth Allison. i . Llibfflflidf? We regret that we cannot list the officers of the Girls' Glee Club, due to the fact that they have not been elected. The significance of the titles of these rnelodious organizations remains un- revealed. lt is not known whether Joy in straining the larynx inspired the name, or if it was the result of successfully captivating their audience. Practice during study periods is always a source of abstraction, as students are tempted to lend an ear to the saccharin Voices issuing from the auditorium rather than to lend grey matter to the pursuit of books. Mr. Caylor's Warblers labored to issue more sonoriferous sounds, in order to spread joy among the townspeople, and with the aid of the orchestra pre- sented the operetta. An ardent populous paid to hear their children and friends try to outsing each other, and manifested their pleasure in this performance by patronizing the club during May Festival VVeek. The Girls' Glee Club was seemingly more ambitious than the Boys' Club for these songbirds, contrary to bird lore, migrated south in the spring of the year and participated in the music contest at Indianapolis, May 8. Page v ill GRATDRY Since that famous debate over the Grimes Golden by Mr. and Mrs. Adam, man has been in an everlasting argument: and ever since Noah harangued the two- by-twos as they entered his flood chaser, the art of oratory has been practiced and developed through the agencies of such exponents as Demosthenes, Plato, Cicero, Napoleon, XVashington, Lincoln, Roose- velt, and Maggie, until we have the mod- ern stilted mode of torture. To become proncient in this art is most difficult and attained only by those gifted with limber tongues and nimble brains, yet never has dismay assailed our high school orators and debating teams: and almost without exception, they have so mastered their art as to win a place alongside the above mentioned galaxy. Though Kokomo High School has, the past few years, taken part in several mild debates and oratorical contests, it was not until last year that fortune smiled upon her. Donald Bailey, a member of the class of '25, represented Kokomo at Bloomington in the State Discussion League Contest, winning first place and bringing home the prize--a handsome silver cup of which we are justly proud. Although we had been showered with honors along athletic lines, we had not formerly been so fortunate in winning by mental agility. This victory is one of the greatest honors that has come to our school, and with its prestige it should prove an incentive that will encourage others to like achievements. Often the work done along various lines in the high school is not fully understood or appreciated by those outside: and in order that her stars and satellites might shine locally, Miss Farlow accepted an invitation for them to speak before the Hound Table. Debaters were chosen from those interested in the Discussion Leagueg and after much coaching, on the part of their mentor, the teams settled, once and for all time, the question of the County Unit Plan. Whether the state school officials have the perspicuity to abide by their decision remains to be seen. This year we did not schedule with any other schools for debates, but, according to our custom for the past few years, took part in the National Oratorical Contest and the Wabash Valley Oratorical Contest and had repre- sentatives in the State Discussion League Contest. Through the inspiration of Miss Farlow's enthusiasm and under her tutelage K. H. S. is rapidly learning to talk and is producing some excellent speakers, forerunners of what may be expected in the future.

Vice-President Thelma Overton , ,..,. . , ,Secretary-Treasurer The most august body of which the high school boasts, is the Student Council, the legislative body of the school. lt seems to be the popular idea that this organization runs the school, though where they run, nobody knows. Their meetings, which are shrouded in mystery, are held every Wednesday. The monitor system, a reform effected by this body, has been successful in quickening the step of teachers and students. Those who wear the ribbon of authority receive inspiration to become trafHc cops, and acquire the chesty appearance of those highway dignitaries. The council instituted the 'AHand- book and inaugurated HHello Week. One would suppose this was a week featuring the telephone-something similar to Radio week, in reality, it is a time set apart for the making of new friendships. An even more formidable institution is the Student Committee. This is composed of ten of the highest Whighbrowsl' in the Student Council, and woe be unto the poor wrongdoer who falls into their clutches. Although separate, the Council and the Court work for the common good of all. Seniors: Wayne Tolle, Donald Wiley, Henry George, Marian Martin, Joy Goyer, Edith Hammond, John Butcher, Edwin Gerhart, Russell Walter.

Ig 51111 THE CIVIC CLUB Cieneva Patterson , President Lowell Fawcett, . . , ,Vice-President Christine Miller . Secretary-Treasurer Leston Johnson ,Sergeclnl-at-Arms The year l92Z arrived and still Kokomo High School had not produced a single president nor even a governor. Then Miss Colescott becoming desper- ate, determined that something had to be done. She called a meeting of the teachers in the Social Science Department: and they all talked the matter over. After comparing notes, they were amazed at the appalling number of names they were sending in for the eighth period. So they decided to relieve their students by giving them a free entertainment at that time. So, from that fateful day to this the Civic Club has met once a week the eighth period. Through the long passage of the years the club has steadily increased until now there are one hundred and three aspirants for political fame. Once in a while, of course, a little bitter is intermingled with the sweet: such as, being the unfortunate one to prepare the programs for three consecutive meetings. But, after that is over, one can enjoy laughing at the next unfortunate one's mistakes. Occasionally, civic interests lag somewhat. This necessitates a degree of pepping up, which is accomplished by giving a big party. It serves to revive, in the hearts grown faint, the glowing sparks of political ambitions. The aim of the Civic Club is to bring state or perhaps national fame to the high school by producing future citizens who may have the gift of long argumentation on subjects of great importance. Or, at least, to cultivate the latent qualities in these up and coming citizens who may develop into geniuses in the future political world. l'iryt- .wyhm flute ,, 7, DRAMATIC CLUB Robert Masters . . ...... President' Esther Smith. . . .... Vice-President Thelma Overton ......,.............,. Treasurer A few of our would-be Mary Pickfords and Bill Harts, being temporarily detained from Hollywood by obstreperous parents and high railway fares, formed an exclusive high-hat society, termed the Dramatic Club. Each prospective member feeling absolutely sure of his own talent and rather suspicious of his neighbors', felt little hesitancy in competing for charter membership. After the trembling aspirants had gone through varying degrees -including the third-of nervousness and stage-fright, a selection was finally made between those who really had talent and those who merely longed for it: and what was left of those fortunate ones constituted the club. This year the stage door has been widened, as it were, admitting all those who speak in a true Edwin Booth voice, or walk across the stage a la Bernhardt. Unfortunately, the club has made itself rather unpopular by its willingness to present plays upon the slightest pretext, making convocations more numerous and thereby depriving the pupils of precious study hours. The students being too polite, however, to absent themselves at these times, a large and seemingly enthusiastic audience greets the players, On these occasions, the heroine weeps and the villain gnashes his teeth in true ten, twenty, and thirty style, while the shades of Hamlet and Macbeth stand in the wings and weep silently. Each member of the club who takes part in a public performance and survives the jeers and hoots of the mob is awarded a near-hero medal, in the form of a Dramatic Club pin. This is an honor each deluded member covets. . Encouragement and cheer have been given the club by Miss Mendenhall and Miss Laughlin, Who, we fancy, will give three cheers when vacation relieves them of this duty. Page r-ighly-four PRESS CLUB John Butcher. . . , , President Marian Martin . , Vz'cefPresz'dent Donald Vsliley . . .Secretclry-Treasurer In the interests of yellow journalism, it was deemed wise last year, to form an organization consisting of the various members of the Sargasso and Red and Blue staffs, to be known as the Press Club. The advantage of such an organization may readily be seen, as an interchange of brilliant ideas was made possible. Two qualifications to membership were agreed upon: the aspirant must have mastered two of the three R's-freadin' and 'ritin'. These accomplish- ments were considered absolutely necessary: but, aside from this restriction, it was to be a 'Afree for all, in order to encourage budding genius. The members of the Press Club are known as a hard-working and absent- minded group. They go about with long faces and with frowns deeply grooved between their brows, They are known to be forced to carry great cares: and heavy responsibilities rest upon their shoulders. Their burdens are so cumbersome that it seems inconceivable that anyone would accept them: yet, strange as it is, students are fairly enraptured when they happen to be so honored as to be chosen to mingle with the careworn. One reason for this unusual attitude is that Press Club members are usually favored by the teachers. They enjoy many lovely privileges: such as, talking in the halls after 3:15 and being late for classes. Proof-reading always makcs a good excuse and is used quite frequently by the tardy members of the Red and Blue and Sargasso staffs. This club has a decided disadvantage over other clubs in that it has no room in which to hold its meetings or to store the great volumes of written junk which the members diligently produce, l't1iJ.' 1'l'gj1rllfI'l'l't' LATIN CLUB Marian Martin . .Senior Consul Lela Braithwaite . . . . .Junior Consul Katherine Duke . . ....... Scribcz Marie Holman ...,., . ,.,...,.,,.. Quaestor Veni, vidi, vici, is the slogan of the Latin Club, for all are excluded from membership except those who have conquered the innumerable battles and exploits of Caesar. Having passed through this mental torture, the student has, of course, mastered the Latin language: and Cicero and Virgil are read with the same Zest and enjoyment as a modern novel. A'Dagol' having been overcome bv the pious students so soon in their Latin career, they found in the last two years' work that they were not sufficiently occupied: consequently, these nosey persons organized the Latin Club for the purpose of inquiring into the private life and customs of the ancient Romans. Exhaustive talks and lengthy papers are produced by these zealous members: and, as a result, they probably know more about the Romans than did the Romans themselves. The members found it necessary to have advisers who should warn them against overwork, to prevent nervous breakdowns, and to caution them when they are speaking the Latin language to the exclusion of English, so that the total oblivion of their native tongue might not result. Misses Martz, Mellon, Rody, and Railsback have diligently advised the Latin Club and the members appreciate their helpful suggestions. Not satisfied with merely reading about the ancients, this club was deter- mined to actually see these Romans: therefore it sponsored a film, The Last Days of Pompeii, and generously allowed the public admittance. The prolits from the receipts made possible a permanent fund for purchasing medals, which are awarded the winners of the district and state Latin contests, each year. In view of this fact, it may be seen that this club, although studying a dead language, is far from being a corpse. lhlifi' i'igl1IUe:.ir LE CLUB FRANCAIS Esther Odom ..,.... A..... . President Mary Ruth Middleton. . . . .Secretary-Treasurer Le Club Francais is very proud of its ancient lineage, which dates back for six long years. Its membership is composed of those who have labored through two years of the Parisian language and are now proficient enough to be able to distinguish un chauffeur from parfum de Houbigant. French is even the prevailing form of discourse at the meetings: and many are the shrugs and gestures: but it is generally understood that nothing these budding Parisians say will be used against them. The club is made up of those French students who aspire to make a journey across the big pond some time in the future, for they hope to acquire, in this Frenchy group, knowledge which might prove convenient in gay A'Paree. Although we do not wish to discourage these ambitious persons, we fear that the majority of them will not use the French language to a greater extent than to order pie-a-la mode or chicken-a-la king. But we are all forced to admit that there is one genuine French element in the club. lt boasts as an honorary member Mrs. Orem Mays, a native Parisian. Although she has been unable to take an active part, her interest and member- ship in the club have been the means of attracting more French students to this organization. Another devotee of the club is Miss Freda Sherman, who is always graciously willing to contribute to the programs. Miss Thornburgh is the professorial godmother of this band of students, She always patiently tries to understand their incoherent conversation: and she is ever ready to advise and help them. lt is because of her kindly aid that the French Club has become the success that it is today. Ihqrf eiylwfy si run HISTORY CLUB l-ois Purvis . . , .Presidenl Josephine Haworth . , . . . Vice-President Ethel Mecopulus . Secretary-Treasurer A number of ambitious young persons, realizing the advisability of killing two birds with one stone, have banded together with the double purpose of making history as well as studying it. They propose to ferret out such news of the present day as may equip them to write an accurate and comprehensive history in the future: and thus perpetuate and add fame to the name of K. H. S. Becoming Very much concerned about the increasing depravity of our youth, Mr. Powell suggested this method of sobering the frivolous K. H. S. student: in this way he judged that their thoughts might be turned from the Charleston, the picture show, and jazz. to the reign and realm of King Tut. and to the stirring events of today. MEXclusiveness seems to be the watch word of this organization, for the prospective member must be recommended to the club oHicers and adviser, Mr. Powell, by his teacher, and he must be proficient in history and English. If the anxious candidate should be so fortunate as to meet all of these qualinca- tions, and if he should be accepted by the critical members, then he must endure all kinds of inhuman treatment before he is finally accepted into the precincts of the History Club. The programs consist largely of the reading of profound papers which no member except the author understands. However, they must be all right, for both the local newspapers have printed articles of historical interest written by some budding historian of this progressive club. Although this club is only an infant organization, it is growing rapidly in membership and knowledge, and will soon be able to take its place among the other clubs of the school. l'nm' urqlllif 4-iifhl K CLUB Burrell Freeman . . Presiclenf Roy Crumley Vz'ce'Presz'den1 Everett Wiggins Secretary-'llreczsurer lt must have been after a particularly pleasing victory. that Coach Hill resolved to form a club of his letter men. This club consists of all those big hefmen who achieve fame in athletics, either through their personal efforts or with the help of Lady Luck. The purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in athletics and to raise the standards: Judging from the frequency with which the teams have been laurel crowned, it has had results. There are various ways in which these men excel. Some have escorted the pig-skin down the length of the field: some have taken a flyer in aeronautics, with a pole as sole companion, others, dash down the cinder path with the celerity and pep of a Sophomore. headed toward the high school, at 8:29 Monday morning. Last fall, the new members of the football team, having proved their Worth, were taken into the club. This event was in the form of a banquet. Here, the boys showed that same spirit of Ago get 'em which had made them famous on the field. One course after another was tackled and vanquished. After the feast, the new members were given a hearty welcome and entrusted with the countersign, There were quite a number of graduates who in former years had proved their prowess in athletics. In appreciation of their merit, these brawny youths were admitted into the club as associate members. An ambitious group is this K club. For years, it has been successfully represented in state meets: last year one of its members made the national meet. Who knows but what this same club may be, not only represented, but vic- torious, at the Olympic games. lhlif. riiffflif m 1 INFANT GRATORS Edward Perry . , .... President Howard Blake , . , ..,. Vice-President Elizabeth iVlcKorkle , , , .Secrelary-Treasurer These disciples of Demosthenes, as the name implies, are a group of stu- dents banded together with the sole aim and purpose of talking. Sometimes, they say something, and sometimes they just talk. So far we have not heard of any of them having pebbles in their mouths, but there have been times when we devoutly wished they had. Miss Earlow, an artist in linguistic calisthenics, conceived the idea of isolat- ing those similarly infected: and in December, l92l, she succeeded in doing so. Once getting this germ in captivity, she has cultivated and developed it until it has reached a rare state of perfection, and membership in this order is a privilege to be highly prized. The qualifications for entrance to this club are high. Not only must one speak the English language, but he must speak it convincingly and with an oratorical air. No matter how loudly or clamorously one 'foratesfl it is only upon invitation from the members that one may enter the sacred fold: and, even then, an initiation testing ones nerve, voice, endurance, nay, even sanity, must be gone through. We have observed that the members of the Infant Orators are never at a loss for a snappy retort when reprimanded, or for .1 brilliant excuse when tardy or unprepared in class. When an instructor differs with one of these gifted juveniles, the latter even though vanquished can argue still, But it is with his classmates that the Infant Orator is at his best. Quick, snappy answers and brilliant repartee fall easily from his silver tongue. The Infant Orators have spoken: and having spoken they have succeeded in Winning statewide renown for Kokomo I-ligh School. l't1rf1' nf if THE CHEMISTRY CLUB Edwin Gerhart . . ,President Wayne Tolle. . .Vz'ce-President Durward Paris , SecretaryfTrer1surer As the hood carries the disagreeable odors from the laboratory, so the Chemistry Club helps to cleanse the atmosphere and through its diversions renders tolerable the arduous tasks which must be performed in this department. Members of this organization contend that a membership is worth all the sacrinces and hazards to life and limb entailed in their odoriferous department. The Chemistry Club is old-so old and hoary soft winds gently comb its beard, lt is the grandfather among H. S. clubs and as such holds high rank among its fellows and commands the respect of all. lt was Mr, McCarty Whose fertile brain conceived the idea of forming this society movement. Not every convert to the test tube and Bunson burner is admitted within the club's sacred portals. Only those most Apt to achieve renown in the scien- tinc world are invited to join. The Chemistry Club has become rather famous in regard to its unique methods of initiating its applicants. It is said that that ordeal enlarges the candidates education and qualines him for membership. Although the school may contain any number of Madam Curies, they are barred from membership, an action which the girls are unanimous in declaring is high handed discrimination. When the word has gone forth that Mac and his boys of the Chemistry Club are preparing to give a convocation, the student body is on its toes wonf dering what next. The covert acts of this mysterious body are hidden within its sanctuaryg but it is rumored that they are now manufacturing a large quantity of tear gas to be loosed upon the unsuspecting Seniors on Commencee ment Evening.

In l922 a few ardent, enthusiastic high school boys with the aid of Mr. Hall, organized this bachelor club. The membership is limited to forty. Although the Hi-Y Club is a very unusual organization, it also has some very ordinary features. Its purpose is Hto create, maintain and extend through- out the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Its ambition is 'ito make and keep clean-cut Christian manhood popular in Kokomo High School. The club must not have realized the extent of reformation needed or they would not have undertaken this infinite task. There is a hope that its high ambition will not bring about its own destruction, as Caesar's did. The Hi-Y is the most active of clubs, and its activities are most varied. Wishing to reveal to the students, as well as to interested outsiders, their here- tofore unknown accomplishments, the club gave a play entitled Snappy Arrives. In order to explain the relationship which existed between the theme of the drama and the ideals of the club, they went through the procedure of initiating a Hi-Y candidate. This womanless play was not lacking in thrills. The proceeds from it are to be used to purchase an annual honor medal. To the boy of the senior class who has, during his four years in high school, shown best school spirit through the combination of school activities, physical development, scholarship, sociability, and spiritual devotion, will be awarded the honor medal. Since this is such a large order, perhaps the eliminations will be easily accomplished. Although the Hi-Y men have lofty ambitions and purposes, they also have an element of romance. At various times sentimental tendencies creep out, and it is then that the club springs a party. Treasured, indeed, are the invitations to the Mystery Ramble, the Alumni and New' Year's parties. Twenty-five of the local club attended the State Older Boys' Convention at Anderson. Since they ranked third in the state for attendance, they felt that their runaway flight was justified. The Hi-Y boys strive to have high morals, clean manhood, and Christian ideals. They try hard to place before the students their slogan: Clean sports! Clean speech! Clean habits!

The Hi-Tri belongs to this latter class: in fact, it is still in its infancy. However, it is making itself heard and even now, is a howling success. The charter members were chosen, by the club's sponsors, as representative girls of the high school. The new members have so felt its infantile tyranny, that they not only, temporarily, lost their looks, going dateless for two weeks. but lost their wits also, even carrying umbrellas over their addled brains when the sun was shining. But at the christening of the new members all was forgiven and forgotten. The club is supervised by Mrs. Gorton, Mrs. Timian, Miss Laughlin, Miss Weitknecht, and Miss Cosand, who will receive their reward when this club fulfills its promise of high ideals and usefulness.

The weak and watering eyes of the Seniors on Commencement Night gave ample testimony that the Juniors had succeeded in nearly blinding them. At least, the Juniors thought that was the cause of such a deluge of tears. The Juniors had gone sleepless, meal-less, and even lessonless for weeks beforehand in order to be able to make Haworth gym the fairy land it was on May twenty-eighth. Climbing, old-fashioned flowers in the colors of gold, lavender, and rose trailed over the fences and roof of the garden, making the place seem a Paradise of flowers and vines. At one end of the garden was a stage surrounded bv huge trees and banked with palms and baskets of fleur- de-lis. The guests were received at the door by the officers and advisers of the junior and senior classes. These people seemed very calm, indeed, in com- parison to the haggard, wild-eyed individuals rushing about behind the scenes, who were the members of the various committees. The programs were pre- sented to the guests by Barbara Hinshaw and Vaughn Hill. Edwin Gerhart gave the greeting to the Seniors and John Kleder, the response. Then followed the Junior follies with Marian Martin as prologue and epilogue. A very tragic play, Before and Aft, was presented by the following cast: Mrs. Billington, Constance Hamilton: Mr. Billington, Henry George: Butler, Donald Wiley: Thug, Wortlu Spurgeon. Then came another play, A'Mr. Macbeth, almost as tragic as the first, with Bob Masters as Mr. Macbeth: Ered Moll, Mrs. Macbeth: Ed Perry, Messenger: John Cochran, army, and Robert Grant, King Duncan. Miss Shannon sang A'The Japanese Love Song, with Mary Robinson and Jay Trent impersonating the parts of the Japanese girl and boy. These plays were interspersed with music by a trio composed of'Mrs. Harry Trueblood, Miss Frances Nicholson and Mr. Don Everman. A chorus of Juniors closed the program with a vocal number which contained references, humorous and otherwise, to various members of the senior class. The ice cream and French pastries were in the chosen colors as well as the nut cups which were fashioned from purple and gold crepe paper. Punch services were placed in flower-covered bowers in various parts of the room. Jane and June Hinshaw and Esther and Ellen Odom distributed the favors of black leather-bound address books to the boys and dainty flower handker- chiefs, in the pastel shades, to the girls. The Seniors were so charmed in every way with the reception that they went so far as to admit that it was almost as good as their own. The Juniors very politely refrained from expressing their opinions. Page ni ty HOMECOMING With bated breath and rapidly beating hearts, the students had been await- ing for months and weeks and days, the festivities attendant upon a second Homecoming. On November 7, 1925, the period of watchful waiting was over, for on that date the class of '26 celebrated this event with a banquet. The Seniors had labored for weeks to make it a success, and it surely was. Of course, there was a pervading spirit of gloom since Kokomo had beaten Anderson only 35 to O in the afternoon, but the jollity of welcoming the old graduates back into the midst of the student body soon dispelled it. The banquet was given at the Masonic Temple. With decorations of red and blue in every conceivable place and the tables adorned with footballs, decked with huge red and blue bows as centerpieces, it was not difficult for the alumni to imbibe the spirit of old K. l-l. S,, especially as the repast was pleasing to the inner man. Following the banquet toasts were given by some of the guests, concerning their views of Kokomo High School and its activities. Chesteen Kendall sang a solo, and Robert Jay played two violin numbers. A soul stirring play entitled A'Lima Beans, which depicted the tragedies of married life, was enacted with great gusto by a cast from the senior class, some of whom having here- tofore remained blushingly unseen. GET-ACQUAINTED PARTIES Since the upper classmen in high school knew that it would be necessary for them to receive a few newcomers into their midst, the girls of these classes thought that they might, at least, derive an evenings entertainment from the ordeal and thus make the situation pleasant in one way, if in no other. Accordingly, the Junior and Senior girls planned a big get-acquainted party in the old gymnasium with the new girls of the two lower classes as special guests. A number of get-acquainted games were first played in which the main idea seemed to be to find out as much of everyone's private affairs as possible. The old girls amused the new girls with a few stunts and games and then insisted that the new girls do the same for them. They instructed them to go to one side of the room and line up against the wall and then go through their stunts for the guests. ln the songs and speeches that followed, many latent Galli-Curcis and Frances Willards were discovered who may some day bring fame and honor to our fair school. Most filling refreshments of punch and wafers, which were bolted in record speed, were served to the guests at the conclusion of the program. l'i1gc n j HI-TRI HELLO PARTY To end Hello Week with a bang, the Hi-Tri girls staged a party for women only in the old gymnasium, on February l2. As it was the hour for the usual scramble for a seat, in their favorite drug store, it might appear that the girls were saving their ducats by attending the party. Certainly, the rumor to the effect that an attempt would be made by the hostesses, at least, partially to fill the great vacant spaces, had nothing Whatever to do with the fact that the gymnasium was filled. Partners were chosen by means of matching red hearts: in this way, one's acquaintance was enlarged. When all the guests had made themselves uncom- fortable on the bleachers, representatives of the various clubs gave talks and introduced members of the clubs who were present. This part of the after- noon's entertainment was in the hands of Miss Laughlin, one of the advisers. When everyone had been duly introduced to everyone else the guests departed with a kindly feeling toward the Hi-Tri girls, who had helped them to enlarge their circle of friends. THE SENIOR WIENER ROAST In accordance with a time-honored custom, the Seniors held their annual hot dog roast on October 2. The place set for the execution of the poor canines was Pennington's grove, and the time, not sunrise-that being a little early for our overworked Seniors-but sunset. Everything went smoothly: the executioners and spectators arrived in great numbers: the victims appeared on schedule timeg but unfortunately there were more Seniors roasted than doggies. Everyone enjoyed the event, especially those Who had partaken of the onions. The party ended with the singing of that Well known anthem, 'iOh Where, Oh Where, Has My Little Dog Gone? HI-Y MYSTERY RAMBLE On HalloWe'en the Hi-Y boys summoned their favorite ghosts, loosed their skeletons from the closets, called forth their pet spooks, and invited the high school students to hold revelry with them. Everyone made an attempt at disguise. Some washed their faces and some donned masks. All participated in the Mystery Ramble, which led through many gruesome places, With ghastly noises and shapes appearing at every turn. Being urged, the guests were prevailed upon to partake of pumpkin pie and cider, the latter giving them courage for the Walk home, which was accom- panied by furtive glances over the shoulder.

As well as being a great coach, lVlr. Hill is a very capable physical director. He has charge of all physical training for boys in the city schools. To Mr. Hill should go a large measure of the credit for the success of Kokomo High School teams in the last five years, Through his teaching K. H. S. athletic teams have become known over the state for their clean sportsmanship and sense of fair play. Mr. Hill is a builder of character as well as athletic teams. The boys are taught to place honesty and true sportsmanship before victory. Since he came to Kokomo, Mr. Hill has produced three excellent football teams. He has trained two State Champion Track Teams in successive years. Last year, under his guidance, the Wildcats played in the final game of the State Basket-ball Tournament. This year's team has been recognized as the best all-season team Kokomo has produced. Twice Mr. Hill has had the pleasure of seeing one of his players receive the Gimble prize: namely, Walter Cross, in l9l9, and Russell Walter in l9Z5. This fact alone is a silent tribute to his influence. Mr. Hill has gained the respect and confidence of Kokomo's citizens and fans: and they will back any kind of team that he may place before the public. Fortunate is the school that has a coach who has efiicient training and high ideals. Kokomo has such a coach in Mr. Hill. Page rrinrty ATHLETIC BOARD Ray ljl. Peck ,,,,,. ., ,,,.A......,.

Immel ATHLETICS The various athletic activities are some of the most constructive forces in our school. The ideals of Mr. Hill have permeated all of our sports and inspired teachers and students to a keen appreciation of fair play. The immediate control of high school athletics is in the hands of a Board of Directors consisting of fifteen high school teachers who are especially inter- ested in athletics. The purpose of the Board of Directors of the Kokomo High School Athletic Association is to foster and encourage wholesome athletics in our high school and to direct all athletic activities. Under the supervision of the Board, Haworth Gymnasium was erected in 1925. During the summer of l926 alterations were made which provided for two additional exits and two hundred seats, Because the seating capacity is inadequate, it will be necessary to make further changes. The Kokomo Tribune on finding that many people could not obtain admission to the games, installed a radiofbroadcasting booth in the southwest corner of the gym. thus enabling the ticketless fans to hear the games, play by play. At the close of this season Mrs. J. E, Fredrick donated to the high school a splendid electric score board bearing the inscription, ln honor of the retiring team of 1926 which has always displayed good sportsmanship. lklif. .fm lumilzr-il Urn' GEORGE TED CHEER LEADERS Kokomo High School students are recognized as the greatest exponents of organized cheering in lndiana. Credit is due largely to the coaching of Red lmmel. His work has been carried on this year by two peppy lads, Ted Hollingsworth and George Bonham. XVhereVer the A'Wildcats play, there are always wild rooters, led by the cheering demons, Ted and George. Page one humlreu' two 17V 7 FOOTBALL l X Z Z ff, ff 'X 'A -Q15 1 I W!

The team won six games and lost two. W'hile this was not a sensational record of consecutive victories, it is remarkable in that, after losing its first two games, the team came back and during the rest of the season played sterling football, There were no individual stars but the team, as a whole, was undoubtedly the best Kokomo Hi has ever had. Although the candidates who answered Coach Hill's call for football were mostly green material, there were a few veterans from last year's team and around these a new machine was built. Due to their inexperience, the Wildcats lost their first game to Elwood 12-3, and the second game to Wabash 14-O. These two stinging defeats at the hands of teams rated far below them seemed to arouse the fighting spirit of our Wildcats: and out of this apparently green and helpless squad came a splendid, powerful team that would not be denied recognition in the football circles of the state. A heavy, shifty forward wall built around Trobaugh, Derck, and Crumley, veterans of last year, supported by four lighting backs, composed an airtight defense and a whirl-wind offense. Even as Notre Dame had her Four Horsemen so did Kokomo High School. These Four Horse- men, Toler, Bender, Hall, and Jewell, combined brains with brawn and dis- played a type of football that is seldom seen in high school teams. Their l'in1.' -me him.I1etl film' C'run1ley,Ilml Delano. Tackle llerck, Tackle smashing, tearing plunges through the line and sweeping end-runs interchanged with cunning trick plays and a fierce aerial attack, aided by superb interference running, were the causes of dismay among their opponents, who found it impossible to check these fighting Wildcats in their determination to Win. Kokomo rode rough shod over Huntington and easily defeated them 25-O on a slippery, muddy field at Expo park. The following week our team journeyed to Peru and decisively subdued them 12-O. Coach Hill, holding the regulars on the bench during a large part of the game, gave the reserves a chance to gain experience. Hartford City was the next school to fall before our Wildcats, who whipped them on their own field by a large margin, 24-6. Kokomo's team was improv- ing rapidly, the line becoming steadier and stronger and the backfield working perfectly. The highlight of this game was an eighty-yard run by Jewell behind perfect interference. After a rest of two weeks the Vv'ildcats resumed their march of victory and left Logansport by the wayside, 33-0, thereby becoming avenged for an in- glorious defeat at the hands of Logansport the year before. The following week Broad Ripple High School of Indianapolis was sent home sorrowfully playing slow music to the tune of 31-6. In this game Brownie Hall repeated Bun Jewell's performance in the Hartford City game by making a run of eighty yards across a muddy field, behind the strong interference of his sturdy team mates. u1'M.'3R2i-s.4.+ , il l Lx. If Ill Fassler, Guard Flora. Furl Frazier, llalfback The next game was Homecoming. The Wildcats continued their winning streak, defeating Anderson in a sea of mud. Thus the season ended with six consecutive victories to offset the two defeats earlier in the season. When the Hnal reckoning was made Kokomo was tied for second in the Vw'abash Valley Conference and had three men on the All-Conference Team. These men were Freeman, Trobaugh, and Bola, playing center, tackle, and end, respectively. This in itself is a silent tribute to Coach Hill and his ability as a football coach. His eleven men functioned as a team, working always with one purpose in mind. Flora, who played left end, came here from Jefferson of Lafayette where he had been a mainstay on their team: he played great ball during the season. His one great delight was to tear down under punts and drop the receiver in his tracks. Bola, who alternated with Flora at left end, was best at the receiving end of a pass. A pass to him was almost always completed, and he usually added a few yards to the length of the pass. Tubby Trobaugh, who played left tackle, was playing his old game again, a terror to his opponents, making holes almost at will. This was Tubby's third year on the team, and he could always be depended upon to deliver. Stouse, who played left guard, was a tower of strength in the line, never saying much, but always taking out his man. na am. if J 1 , r es , W, l'nt1. rim Immlnfr' -.rim l7reun1an,Cenler Hall, Hnlfbnck llunter, Tackle . Freeman, captain of this year's team, was a steady passer and a bulwark of defense at center. I-le had a good head for football and often shifted out of the line to strengthen the place where the next play would probably come. Wiggins, who played right guard, came to Kokomo from Garfield of Terre l-laute. A'Wiggie was always jolly and good natured until someone ruffled his hair, and then he exploded and usually massacred about half of his opponents. Derck, the big, easy-going right tackle, always played the same steady game, alert and seemingly able to call the other teams' plays before they started. Fat was a hard hitting, fighting tackle. Crumley was our defensive, and any team that could go around his end was good. Roy was always in the thick of the fight, breaking up the oppon- ent's plays. Our backfield was absolutely the greatest we have ever had. There were no individual stars in it. Each fellow had his own part to do, and he did it well. Strangely enough these four players and their actions did resemble Notre Dames world-famous 'Four Horsemen even down to the famous 'Agoose-step. Bender ran the team in fine fashion at quarterback, and he was a wizard at interference-running. m l Paige line humlreil l-ight Jewell. Fullbntk Moran. llalfback Mouse, Liimrd Swede Toler bore the brunt of the line plunging and short-passing from left halfback. Time after time HSwede battered and tore his way through the enemy's line and then came back to throw a short left-handed pass to Hall or Bender for a few more yards. UBrownie Hall played right half. His skill was in broken field-running and long-passing. Once through the opponents line, Brownie was sure to gain. Many times he traveled yards, after being tackled, with several men hanging on, trying to drag him down. U A'Bun Jewell played fullback. He did the kicking. and he certainly did it well. He was a wonder at end-running. through his ability to let his inter- ference form in front of him, and then being able to stay behind it. Monk Moran played good ball. He was equally good at halfback or fullback. During the latter part of the season, he played defensive center and offensive half. Monk could drop-kick to perfection. Honk'l Arducer, who played sub-fullback, was an excellent relief punter. HRed Delsano was very effective as a sub-tackle. He played good games in Derck's place. A'Cece Hunter made a strong substitute for Stouse at guard. I' l'u5ri- if lzniireil mm' 'I'oler,Hal1'back Trobaugh, Tackle XViggins, Guard Don Fassler, although a newcomer, throughout the football season played good ball. He should bid high for a varsity position next year. iKen Frazier was a real sub-halfback. He always delivered when he was put into the game, Qf this team, at all times a team of eleven men playing as one, it should be said that they never faltered in upholding the tradition that Kokomo always lights, clean and hard, as all Kokomo High School teams have fought. Long hours of practice, bruised muscles, and battle-scarred faces did not daunt the players. Their formidable strength was developed, not a little, by the regular opposition furnished by the scrubs. ably coached by Ralph Beabout. Let us not forget those who were battered and beaten in body but never in mind, those who took the knocks and gained no glory for themselves, the men who helped to make the varsity what it was, not the scrubs as some have dubbed them, but the reserves, to us the Vw'ildcat Cubs. We commend them for their fight and fine spirit and say to them that Kokomo High School is as proud of her reserves as she is of any of her teams.

The team began the season by defeating Vvfalton 52- l 7 on the home floor. Coach Hill used all of his substitutes in this game. The next week the Vvfildcats downed the Vikings 50-23 at Huntington. Next came Martinsville who handed Kokomo their first defeat of the season, 25-24, Kokomo had the edge up until the last few minutes when the Artesian City lads rushed the XVildcats off their feet and Won the game by one point. The Wildcats then hit a slump: and they had great difliculty in defeating Rochester, but a last-minute rally by Toler and Huddleston Won the game for Kokomo by a score of 39-2l. Kokomo, playing erratic ball, received their second setback of the season at the hands of Frankforts Fighting Five 41-33. The Wildcats played Anderson in the same frame of mind and were able to Win only by one point, the tinal score being 27-26. 1 lliy. mn- lptmtlrttf 1In'rlr'm VN'arne, Center Paudice. Floorguard lluddleslon, Forward This unbecoming cloak of mediocrity seemed to drop from the shoulders of our Wildcats and they began to play like champions. They defeated Muncie 50-27, Elwood 49-9, and Columbus, Ohio, 4l-34. ' The next big game was with the Marion Giants, whom the Kats took into camp by an eleven point margin, 37-26. The Kokomo defense was almost impregnable, and Rum Walter completely smothered the elongated Murphy, holding him to four field goals. The Logansport team, in a slow game, was defeated by the fighting Wild- cats by a score of 48-25. The Marion Giants turned the tables on Kokomo, defeating the Wildcats in their own den, 44-25. Bloomington fell victim to the deadly Wildcats the following night 38-22. Tipton was next defeated 56-4l, NValter and I-luddleston being lost to the Kokomo team through injuries received in the Marion game. The Anderson Indians were again defeated by Kokomo 46-43. This game was a regular shooting fest by both teams. Crumley led the scoring with thir- teen goals from the field and one free throw. Frankfort's famous Fighting Five were dropped by the Wildcats 50-44. Due to the longstanding rivalry between Kokomo and Frankfort this game caused much comment in basket-ball circles over the state. After this signal victory the state scribes talked Kokomo, but the Wildcats continued to play basket-ball. They defeated Huntington for a second time 40-23 and the following evening journeyed down to Martinsville and defeated them 39-27. The Wildcats seemingly had reached the peak and were considered as the strongest contender for the l926 championship. P one hundred fourl l'zol.x, liorwnrtl firumlev, liorwartl lirecinan, hatkglmrtl ln the last game on the schedule the Wildcats vanquished Rochester 47-39 after a hard fight. Then came the Sectional tourney. Kokomo easily won their first game from Jackson Township 75-.l 7, and their second game from Clay Township 66-12. In this game HRut was seriously injured, but the Wildcats won the final game from Russiaville 49-15. When the morning for the Regional tournament arrived no one knew whether A'Rut would be able to play or not. One thing was sure, he would not be in fit condition to play. Kokomo defeated Portland 35-14 with Freeman playing center in Rut's place. 'ABeaner played well but that swift accurate offense was gone. Some- thing was missing and that was Rut who was sitting on the sidelines, his leg swathed in bandages. When the time for the Kokomo-Marion game was at hand, Haworth gym- nasium was packed to the doors. The Marion Giants won that game 24-8: and in doing so they defeated the greatest team that ever wore the Red and Blue. The Wildcat offensive would not function. A'Bud was there shooting, passing. missing the same shots he had always made. Roy was fighting to get the ball, lighting to keep it, but all his efforts were futile. 'ARut was crippled, unable to score, but striving, hoping to win this last game for his school. Toler and Derek were driving their opponents back, valiantly defending their goal. Kokomo is proud of the boys even in defeat. for they went down fighting. One week later Marion won the State championship. Kokomo is not alone in thinking that the Wildcat team of l926 is the greatest team in Indiana. Kokomo's team was considered one of the best throughout the season, and Shootin' Em and Stoppin' Em of the Indianapolis News picked Kokomo as l926 champions one month before the tournaments Pugt' one lmmlrvd fzfle n Fisher, Kfcnlvr began, After the tourney he felt, as all true Kokomo fans feel, that Kokomo's team Was the best in Indiana although they were defeated. WILDCAT CUBS Too much credit cannot be given to the second team in their untiring efforts to make the season a success. They were invaluable as trainers for the first team, and some of them have shown enough ability to be advanced at times to the varsity. The Wildcat Cubs of l925-26 have the honor of being the first K. H. S. second team ever to win the county tournament. The cubs Were ably coached by Walter Cross, l9l9 Gimble prize winner.

TRACK The track team of 1925 retained the state championship crown won by the team of 1924. The Wildcat track men won the Gary Relays for the second consecutive year. Their score was fourteen points, four more than their nearest competitor, Hyde Park High School of Chicago. Kokomo won the county meet for the second consecutive year. Kokomo scored 73 points: Clay Township took second place with 10 points. The next track event was a Quadrangular meet with Technical of lndianapolis, Greenfield, and Crawfords- ville. Technical scored 54 ly 3 points, Kokomo 39 113, Crawfordsville 2 lf3, and Greenfield failed to place. Tech won this meet through her ability to place several men in each event, thus winning on second and third places. Kokomo won the same number of events as did 'ATech, but her entries were limited. The first of Kokomo's Annual Relays was held May 2. Technical of lndianapolis won by two points. This meet was invitational. There were entries from Frankfort, Elwood, Logansport, Manual and Technical of lndian- apolis, Rochester, Peru, Wabash, South Side of Fort Wayne, and Kokomo. In this meet Knee of W'abash broke the state record for the shot put, throwing the shot 48 feet 512 inches, a distance of ll inches over the state mark. Kokomo won the Wabash Valley meet for the third successive year, thereby becoming permanent possessors of the silver loving cup. The final summary was Kokomo 37: Rochester 333 Wabash 1116 3 Peru 82 3 Logansport 6M. The next meet was the Sectional held at the local field and won by Kokomo with 43 5 f6 points. The following K. H. S. men qualified: Walter, Paudice, Knisely, Abbot, Derck, and Warne. Kokomo's mile and half-mile relay teams la III N 1 -FX IWW' um' humlrml mwnfy won. Kokomo won the State Track and Field meet at A'Tech Field in Indian- apolis with a total of Z7 points: their nearest competitor was Froebel of Gary with lZ points. In the lOOfyard dash Rut Walter tied the record of ten seconds flat set by Blair of Hammond in 1906. A'Nick Paudice won second place in the mile-run, leading the field all the way until the last few yards. Walter set a new record of nfty-one seconds flat in the 440-yard dash. This was one and two-nfths seconds faster than the record established in l9l7 by Szold of Ciary. ln the next race Rut broke his own record of twenty-two seconds flat for the 220-yard dash, by a margin of two-nfths of a second. Knisely won third in the 220-yard low hurdles. Abbot was third in the Hrst race of the half-mile. Derck placed fifth in the shot put, and Vv'alter was fifth in the running broad jump. Our team was easily the best represented at the meet. Rut Vv'alter alone scored enough points to win the meet, and the rest of the team missed by only two points having enough to win. The following week Coach Hill arranged a dual meet with Culver Military Academy. By entering three or four men in each event, Culver won the meet. Their stars took several firsts and the other men brought in enough seconds and thirds to put them ahead of Kokomo. 'ARut VJalter won the lO0, 220, and 440-yard dashes, and the broad ljurnp, ln the last event he made a leap of 22 feet 4 inches, which was 713 inches better than the state record. l'i1irt- uni' lmmlnti litwlf After the team made such a good showing in the State and Culver meets, Coach Hill took a squad composed of Walter, Paudice, Knisely, Abbot, Derck, and T. Warne to the Stagg's National lnterscholastic meet at Chicago. In this meet A'Rut was the only one of our men to score. He won third in the 100- yard dash: flrst in the 220-yard dash: and first in the 440-yard dash. In the 440-yard dash 'ARut came within one-tenth of a second of tying the Stagg's lnterscholastic record. 'ARut's time was 50 9,f10 seconds. Through Walter's efforts Kokomo tied for second place with Wenatchee, Washington and North- western of Detroit. Rut was the individual high scorer and star of this meet. Due to this fact, he attained the highest honor of any prep school athlete in the United States, by being awarded a position on the National Interscholastic Track and Field all-star team selected by Spaulding's Athletic Guide as a 220- yard dash man. Kokomo and Kokomo High School is proud indeed of Rut and the track team of 1925. Kokomo Wabash Sec- Gary County Tech.

The one mile relay team was composed of Murphy, Bell, Abbot. and Hall: and the one and seven-eighths mile medley relay consisted of Vvlalter, Ryan, Knisely, and Paudice. Although these teams did not win every race, they were victorious in a majority of those they entered. The medley team raced only twice: they lost at Gary and Won at Kokomo. The mile and half-mile teams won in the sectional and were eligible to compete in the state meet. In the state meet the mile relay team was nosed out by Michigan City but the half-mile team easily won their race. Most of these men will be back in l926 and Kokomo High School is expecting big things of them.

Klein TENNIS TEAM In the spring of l925 three dual matches were played by the Kokomo tennis squad: two with Shortridge and one with Cathedral High School, both of Indianapolis. The capital city teams won these matches, but only after hard battles. Shortridge was met at Foster Park and the Hawthorne courts. and Cathedral at Brookside Park. Iater the Shortridge team captured the national interscholastic title at the University of Michigan. Last fall a return match was played with Cathedral. Two members of the squad, Huston and Klein, were entered in the Vvlabash Valley Meet at Logans- port. Cathedral again defeated Kokomo courtmen in both doubles and singles matches. The Wabash Valley Tennis Meet was the first ever held. The Wildcat netters tied with Rochester for second place. Logansport won the cup and the singles and doubles titles. After overcoming Hoover of Wabash in a hard-fought, three-set match, Huston was nosed out by Rice in the Hnal game. In the doubles, Huston and Klein were defeated by Rice and his partner, but swamped the Wabash pair in straight sets. Last year's team was the first organized tennis team produced in K. H. S. Though over-shadowed by track, football, and basket-ball, tennis is steadily becoming a popular form of competition among the Hoosier prep schools. The sport is a minor one locally, but has had only a start. The few fans who turned out for the home matches were enthusiastic in their attitude and look forward to a greater season during l926-'27. The personnel of the team at the close of the past season was, according to their respective rankings, Paul Huston, Howard Klein, Chesteen Kendall, William Naftzger, and Donald Wiley. The two doubles teams consisted of Paul Huston and Howard Klein: Chesteen Kendall and William Naftzger. The team was managed and coached by Ralph Phillips, late member of the high school faculty, If Ill! lfl' f f' A X X M 1 5 f .

As yet we have not had to stay up from sunset until sunrise, in order to buy a ticket to a girls' basket-ball game, but that night may not be far distant. The gym classes are the only classes in the school conducted for purely recreational purposes. The course in athletics helps to develop the girls physic- ally, mentally, and morally. The games foster good health, grace, and correct posture: the marching tactics promote alertness and keenness of mind: and the companionship in the diHerent games induces fair play, unselnshness and responsibility. Last fall, as has been the custom for several years, a tennis tournament was started: but, owing to a continual downpour, it had to be abandoned. This sport has always been very popular with the girls and much disappointment was expressed that there could be no tournament last fall. On December l8, in the High School auditorium, the girls' gym classes presented a play entitled A'The Rag Doll's Christmas Eve. The cast included about fifty-five girls, and under the guidance of Mrs. Timian. they presented the play in a most novel manner. The characters were as follows: Rag Doll .,......,......, , ....... .......,...

One of the main features of the girls' activities, each year, is the basketfball tournament. This year fifty-seven girls entered. Six teams were organized and some real games were played before the winner was picked. Team One, after a hard game with Team Six, Won the tournament. Isabelle Ross was its captain. This team won with a score of seventy-three points: Team Six fol- lowed with sixtykeight points: and Team Three came in third with forty-three points. The captains of the other hve teams were Gayle Tennell, Elizabeth Cammerer, Vera Bergstrom, Juanietta Reed, and Agnes Mays. During Nlarch and April, volley ball, captain ball. and indoor baseball were the most popular sports. During May and the first days of June the long list closed with track athletics and tennis. Besides coaching them in all these various games, Mrs. Timian has taught the girls to step, not only in folk dances. but in many other Ways.

My thoughts wander at last To thy green lawn and ivied walls, Towering masonry, massive, vine clad. Thoughts of thee turn Not as these jocund younglings Wlmo but learn thy gracious alphabet: But as the massed ranks of today's mature fruitage, Those who cling and yearn And speak not from thy present But from thy past. It seems one can imagine ln every window mirrored some familiar face-living or dead, From every leaf some voice of long ago, Even from every brick some balm that pleads renewed acceptance For old love's most sacred sake. --JoHN ELLIS, Class of 1923. q one hundred eighty-Inu ' ' .
