It is interesting to note that the Indians inhabiting northwestern Indiana, especially the Noble County district, at the time of the first settlement by white people and long before were of the Algonquin stock and the Pottawatomie nations. Individuals of other tribes were undoubtedly among them -Ottawas, Shawnee-s, Miam-is, etc. The Miamis were naturally more numerous than any other people besides the Pottawatomies, for the Niiamis were the aboriginal possessors of the country and had permanent possessions of the regions south, at Fort Wayne, in the Whitley and southern Kosciusko territory. ' U RESTING PLACE OF GREAT TRAIL. The spot on which the town of Ligonier stands was for many years a resting place on the great east and west Indian trail, and was noted for its wild strawberries which grew in abundance throughout this I section in the summer months. The Elkhart river also abounded in fish, and wild E deer and other game which furnished the food supply for the Indian tribes were 1 plentiful. : E SETTLERS. Ligonier, Indiana, like most of the prosperous cities of the state was : first settled by sturdy pioneers from Pennsylvania and many of the New England 5 states, who landed in the wilderness and laid the foundation for the numerous com- S munities which have developed into productive points of commerce and incidentally E peace and plenty. The name Ligonier was b'rought from Pennsylvania by Isaac E Cavin, one of the founders, who was a native ot' Ligonier, Pennsylvania. This city -1 of Ligonier was named after and in honor of Colonel Ligonier of Revolutionary War : fame who fought under George Washington. : U I 'J i a 1 , I - -.h Page 10 1 XKXX i1'fJl1 C' QP -if assi.,-S+' fl ll 4 3 l l J l A PRIMARY CLASS OF 1890.

Mr. Cavin owned eighty acres where our town now stands. The land came to him by government grant, and like all proprietors of towns in early years, Mr. Cavin confidently expected to be the founder of a metropolis that would im- mortalize his name. Ligonier was laid out and platted May 11, 1835, the year be- fore the county was organized, and the plat was recorded at the county seat of LaGrange County. One hundred and ten lots were laid out on a beautiful tract of U land, which in former years had been used as a depository of animal bones from which the flesh had been gnawed by red men, before the era of settlement. WHY CAVIN STREET IS MAIN STREET. Cavin Street, one of the first streets E named, stands as a monument to the founder. It was the intention of Mr. Cavin : that Main Street should be the business street of the town, north and south of and : perhaps around the public square. In fact business did start on Main Street, sev- Q eral frame store buildings having been erected on the east side of Main Street, north E of Third, and organized for merchandise purposes. That is the reason that Main - Street was platted eighty-three and a third feet in width while Cavin and Martin : Streets were only fifty feet in width. But one condition, evidently, was not taken E into consideration by the founder and the first merchants: that the street platted . E as Cavin Street, now the business street of the town was laid out on the old Hunt- S ington and White Pigeon Road, a main Indiana-Michigan thoroughfare and on which E far sighted merchants established places of business, believing that business could S not easily be diverted from that main-traveled highway. It turned out as they an- X : ticipated and Main Street was soon abandoned for business purposes.

Braden as captain who captured a band of horse thieves about fifty years ago. fThis picture was taken much later howeverj After they were captured the band of horse thieves was brought to Ligonier, and the people from miles around gathered here to watch proceedings. The Reg- ulators had decided to turn over to civil authorities all of the horse thieves except the captain, McDougal. They took a vote of the people to determine what was to be done with him. Those in favor of hanging him, took one side of the street, and those in favor of turning him over to the authorities with the other members of the gang took the other side. The vote was three to one in favor of hanging. The man was hanged to the limb of an oak tree which still stands near Diamond lake. J. E. Braden furnished the rope which the Regulators later burned on the thief's door- step with a threat for further revenge. Allen J. Ramsby, a brother-in-law of W. A. Cochran was a member of the Regulators at this time. Although he is now a resi- dent of Petosky, Michigan. He was born and raised on the Hawpatch. FIRST SETTLERS. The first settler was Ward Bradford, who built a house on lot No. 1, and who also had the honor of constructing the first bridge across the Elkhart River at this point. There were many settlers, however, located at this date in the vicinity of Ligonier, and Isaac Spencer who lived about a mile south, was the first to open a general store in a log building. He was the first county clerk, and finding merchandising not very profitable, he closed the store which was opened two years later by Daniel Stukey. In the autumn of 1844 Henry Treer, of the partnership Hill and Treer, of Fort Wayne, opened a general store, and, a year later, Hugh Miller opened a second one. Treer became somewhat embarrassed profitable fields of labor about the same time, and Taylor Vail, an influentialiand respected citizen of Ligonier succeeded Treer, The first permanent settler in the vicinity of Ligonier so far as can be traced was Jacob Wolf, who settled a little west of Ligonier as early as 18313 and those who came to join him were Gideon Schlotterback, Henry Engle, John Hostetter, and Adam Engle. Only two or three families lived in Ligonier in 1840 and almost ten years elapsed after the platting about 1846 and retired from the business. Miller likewi-se saw visions of more ,Z ,I N ' J 3 1 Page 12 I 5 'af W P Q lllllllllilllllillllllllllllll - - -- X .--.... --f M--- S ,Z-X ,ng . ,....f 'f'v's avi, - r ' ' -1 -- -A-'A-'-V A-' H--xyXQ,.A.qwc' G 1 l K. l 1 l . if 1 , 1,1 I I , fl sf ' 1 l A 7 l ' l 1 f l 1 Q Intczzior of drug store owned by Mr. E.

The population in 1845 was fifty people, and when the Civil VVar 1 E broke out it had reached 1000. The present population is about 2500. l.ltlONlElt'S BOOM. Ligonier had its first boom in 1852 when it was assured that 1 the Northern Indiana Railroad would pass through the village. At this time a I I number of shrewd business men decided on Ligonier as a good place to locate: accordingly they bought land and opened mercantile establishments. Many of them were influential and successful Jews. They continued to come until the population within tive years quadrupled. For the size or population there are few towns in the United States which have so many citizens with so high a commercial rating. Al'I'I+JAIiANCI1I OF INDUSTRY. In 1847 an important industry was established by Taylor Vail who became owner of the foundry that had been in operation at Ro- chester. He moved all the apparatus to Ligonier where he continued the work of U the former owners, manufacturing all kinds of plow castings, a few cook stoves, pots, kettles, and various other useful articles and implements. In 1848 he sold out to Jacob Wolf who continued in the same line for two years. and then sold to Mr. lleall, who disposed of the property to lprobablyl George Ulmer and Sons in 1855. A few years later the property was destroyed by tire and was not after- , I X wards rebuilt. Two molders were employed and a few assistants, who, at the most X A -4 l Y prosperous periods of the enterprise secured a combined cash and book account of ' 11 E j about 51,200 per year. I . .. ii SAW MILL. A saw mill was built in 1852 and James Kennedy, Benjamin Ruple. X l and George Hussey conducted it three years without profit. The Fishers built and 5 operated one about 1856 continuing with success some six or eight years. Dodge and Randolph built one after the war. Fisher Brothers, soon after their saw mill had been erected built a grist mill near it., and furnished the village and sur- rounding country with tlour for a few years when the mill was abandoned and G 4 Albert Hanta and A. C. Fisher erected another. l l - - - . l KX XXX - ,ff I gxlXXkix..,,.... .-- l X 'si ' is 5 -1 -MDF I A 1 ' Pugc IJ 5 THE FIRST CITY COUNCIL OF LIGONIER First Row:-I. E. Kelsey, B. W.

Jackson, and Mose Gilbert CITY GOVERNMENT Until thirty-five years ago, Ligonier was governed by a Board of Trustees of five members, which managed everything. The other town officers were a Clerk and a Treasurer. On February 15, 1872, the Council plan of City Government was adopted in Ligonier. At an election held on that day three hundred and fourteen voted for city government, only seventy-two against it. The first ofliceris of Ligonier were Mr. John Weir, Mayorg Mr. Edwin Reed, Clerkg Mr. Greely Zimmerman, Treasurer, Mr. Isaac Todd, Marshallg Mr. Melville Hutchinson and Mr. George S. Woodruff, Councilmen at large, Mr. Mc- Dowell, Councilman of the First Ward: Mr. Henry R. Cornell, Councilman of the Second Ward, and Mr. Will L. Jackson, Councilman of the Third Ward. At that time all these men were elected by the people. In 1925, Mr. L. R. Calbeck was elected Mayor of Ligonier, Mr. J. C. Kimmell, City Clerkg Miss Elva Foote, City Treasurerg Mr. Walter Robinson and Mr. William Bender, Councilmen at Large: Mr. Henry Vance, Councilman of the First Ward, Mr. J. B. Schutt, Councilman of the Second Wardg and Mr. Ralph Strait, Councilman of the Third Ward. The-se comprise the City Council of Ligonier. Four officers appointed by the Mayor are City Attorney, Mr. Chester Vanderfordg City Marshall, Mr. Lawrence Wolf, Night Watchman, Mr. Harley Bowen, and Street Commissioner, Mr. Ed Banta. The Street Cleaner, Roy Banta, and the Garbage Man, Ambrose Goudy are oflicers on contract. Page 14 ' f MAYOR L. E.

Mr. Hostetter was the M Rf tlrst Postmaster that I can find any record of. Mr. H. M. Goodspeed served for twenty years after the close of the Civil War. He was succeeded by Messrs. E. McDaniel, J. D. Casey, J. H. Huffman, J. L. Dunning, Henry Jeannerette, George D. ' Gaby, and William Milner, who is our present Postmaster. 1 In 1910 the ojllce was advanced from third to second class. Two years later city delivery was established and in 1913 the parcel post feature was installed. In the last twenty-flve years the amount of receipts have greatly increased. In 1902 the gross receipts from postal sales was less than six thousand dollars, but in 1926 the net receipts were over twenty-two thousand, seven hundred dollars. A I The Sons of Temperance organized a lodge in 1849 with nearly all the princi- pal citizens joining it. Harvey W. Wood came from a distance, in a. violation of the state law, and began retailing liquor from his wagon on the streets. The Sons of Temperance seized his liquor ilegallyl and concealed it, but about this time the Supreme Court decided that the law prohibiting the sale of liquor on the street was unconstitutional: but the Sons, refusing to give up the spirits , suit was begun against them by the owner, for damage. The owner was successful, and the Sons, in some way, turned over their hall to satisfy the judgment, but retained the liquor. What was to be done with the whiskey, rum, etc., became the absorbing question. At this time there belonged to the lodge about one hundred of the most prominent citizens in the village and surrounding country. After considerable discussion it was decided that the liquor lwhlch in some incomprehensible manner had greatly de- creased ln quantity, though several kegs were yet leftj should be put up at auction and sold to the highest bidder, no one but the Sons being permitted to bid, It was a laughable scene long to be remembered. There were the very men who had so bltterly denounced the cause of intemperance but the day before, trying to outbld each other in order to get the liquor, which by the way, was of -the best quality. The Grand Mogul of the lodge immediately arose with the spirit of the occasion, and amid great excitement, bid off the best keg of rum and in dignity departed, lugging it home on his shoulder. On went the sale and on went the remaining few kegs, to the bitter disappointment of the great majority of the Sons. It is needless U to add that the lodge immediately became defunct. U Today, Ligonier has a number of very worth while lodges, all of which work . for the betterment of the community. There are the Elks, the Masons, the Eastern S Star, the Odd Fellows, the Eagles, the Rebeccas, and the Woman's Relief Corps. S s These are active not only socially but in local charity. : : Besides these, Ligonier has two active b'oostlng clubs, the Chamber of Com- S : merce and the Lions Club. The former is made up of about forty prominent men : an of Ligonier who are either in a business or a profession. Memberships may be ac- U S quired by making an application which is voted on by the body. The Chamber of : S ' Commerce boosts anything that is for the best interest of the community. Although : E it has no power in itself it often makes recommendations to the City Council or S 3 some other body which has authority to act. The Lions Club, whiclrfhas about E E thirty memb'ers, is comparatively new, having been in existence only a year and a E I half. Members are received into the Lions Club at the invitation of that body. : , Only one person from each business or profession is permitted to become a mem- ' : : ber except by special consent of the tlrst of that profession given membership.

N. WERTHEIMER AND SONS. In 1865 Mr. N. Wertheimer came to Ligonier and went, to work for Sol Mier. In 1871 he and Jacob Sheets purchased the mercantile business of Sheets and Mier, and they remained in business until 1894. At that date Mr. Wertheimer sold out his interest in the firm and established the business that exists today. At that time f it was devoted to wholesale wool and seed. In 1900 Mr. Nathan Wertheimer's two sons Abe and Leon entered the business and have continued since. This is largely wholesale business, and it operates in every state in the Union, in England, France, and Ger- i many. The firm is represented by eight traveling salesmen and buyers who practically cover the United States in the wholesale seed business. . The business originally started here because there was a large mar- U ket for the clover seed produced in the surrounding country. For the past V five years this section has not raised enough clover seed for its own seed- ing and consequently, the firm has had cars of clover seed here, in one day, from the Northwest, from Illinois, from Minnesota, and from Checko- I P Slovakia. 5 LYON AND GREEN LEAF MILL. The Lyon and Greenleaf Mill was S S built in 1886 by Mr. Marcus Lyon, grandfather of the present Mr. Graham : g Lyon. The mill was built here because of the especially good wheat coun- l I try. fAt that time about five hundred thousand bushels were shipped , E E from here each yeari. When the business was first established it de- : pended mostly on export trade in Cuba, England, and Germany. Now the 5 E trade is domestic. N g 3 The capacity is five hundred barrels of flour a day. About twenty- E E live men are employed. Mostly soft wonder flour for cakes, etc., is manu- E g factured, but also about two thousand five hundred barrels of self-rising Q flour per year. : S . 5 v K-5-Q X -' R -gi.:- ,.,f Q X, , -..

The company has a large ware- - house in Norfolk, Virginia. Flour is shipped from there to other places. MIER CARRIAGE AND BUGGY COM- pany. The Mier Carriage and Buggy Corn- pany was incorporated in 1893. The mem- bers were Mr. Sol Mier, Mr. Abe Mier, Mr. Herman Mier, Mr. Sam Mier, and Mr. Isaac Rose. Later Mr. I. M. Baum bought out the interests of Mr. Herman Mier. After Mr. S. E. Mier died the entire interests of the corporation were bought by Mrs. Hattie Mier and Mr. I. M. Baum. All styles of buggiles . . and carriages were manufactured until t e ' Lyon 'md Greenleaf Mm time when automobiles took their places. During the war the iirm became the Ligonier Auto Body Company. BLITZ WOOD PRODUCTS COMPANY. The building formerly used by the Mier Carriage and Buggy Company is now occupied by the Bfitz Wood Products Company, which was organized in January, 1925. Mr. Q Herman Blitz is president and general manager, Joseph Eichel is vice- g president, and Sigmund Eichel is secretary and treasurer. The company 1 I originally started to manufacture novelty furniture, which was shipped to 1 large jobbers. In December, 1926, they concluded that dining room furni- f I ture would be a more profitable line to manufacture and since, have been 1 devoting the most of their efforts to the manufacture of medium priced l dining room furniture. During the fall of 1926 they secured a large - l contract for the manufacture of radio cabinets, this they took up as a Y side line. In addition to the dining room furniture several different models of radio cabinets, spinet desks, etc., are carried in stock. From forty to sixty men are employed by this company, which is now planning on contracts for installing built-incabinets in apartment houses of the larger cities in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. LIGONIER REFRIGERATOR COMPANY. The Ligonier Refriger- ator Company was originally start- W E ed in 1907 by Mr. Banta and Mr. 1 Bender under the name of Banta : and Bender Company. The com- ! pany reorganized in 1912 at which S time Mr. Wood took the manage- S ment. The old plant burned in E May, 1915, and this resulted in 5 taking over the plant of the Ligo- 5 nler Carriage Company. Since g that time Mr. Wood and Mr. He- : noch have been active heads of the s business' l Blitz Wood Products Company S tix 5 ., X L, Page 18 s V HX ,-.--wpqyx In 1911 the company did a small busi- ness of only S50 000 It has shown a steady . growth since that time and in 1926 the com- pany did a business of i p800,000. About eighty or eighty-three men are employed in the factory. Mr. Ralph Strait is general M superintendent in charge of factory opera- tion. Two years ago the company built very extensive additions to the plant and are con- sidering the question of tearing down the old building on the corner of Cavin Street and Lincoln Way West the coming summer and building a new three story building to correspond with the rest of the plant. If this is done the offices will be moved into the building on the corner. The product of the company is refrig- erators, refrigerator counters, and market coolers for commercial uses, but no refrig- erators for domestic uses are produced. The company has over fifty gen- eral agencies located in the principal cities throughout the country, and this distribution is practically nation-wide, including Alaska, and the Ha- waiian Islands. The quality of the product is conceded to be as fine as any made in this country. WILKINSON QUILTS. One of the most interesting firms of Ligonier is that of the Wilkinson sisters, Rosalie and Ona, for the reason that it is the only one of its kind in the United States. Their business is devoted to the manufacture of hand made quilts, comforters, and couch throws. The first quilts were made in 1908, and for several years were made in the home until 1914 when the Wilkinson Quilt Company was incorporated and business solicited. All orders up until that time, had come unsolicited as the sale of quilts was not started with the intention of making a business of it. However, the unusually beautiful and artistic designs and workmanship of Miss Ona Wilkinson brought many orders from those re- ceiving one of the quilts as a gift and from those who saw the quilts in the home of their friends. Wilkinson Quilt Company Q The business developed far beyond expectations and in recent years a U number of things have been added to the original line of quilts including bed spreads, bathrobes, fancy piliows, etc. The merchandise is sold by mail, through shops conducted by the company in various winter and summer Q resorts and through special representatives. There are about one hundred 2 people connected with the organization in its various departments. S C g ,p - v HIGHWAY IRON PRODUCTS p E 5 I A I COMPANY. The Highway Iron r 1 ' i f Products Company was incorpor- E : I ated October 1, 1918 under the laws : 5 of the State of Indiana with a paid 5 5 up capital of S100,000.00, for the 5 E purpose of manufacturing steel i E E highway bridges, corrugated metal E 3 culvert pipe, and road tools. 5 u vu : Ligonier Refrigerator Company : 5 ' : : v E! S fix 5 ii - f L . Ji Page 19 NKXX Its growth was so rapid that it was felt the business should be .A divided and accordingly, in 1925 I T the fabricating plant was moved to ' Jacksonville, Florida, in order to be nearer the market of its prod- fZ'f,11 s' as if - Lf rg.:- V ucts. The Ligonier plant contin- ued the manufacture of corrugated pipe and road tools until January, 1927, when it was felt that on ac- count of therapid growth of the Florida plant all energies should be devoted towards its development. The Ligonier plant, therefore, dis- tinued its manufacturing and is at present serving as sales branch and feeder for the Southern plant. It is possible however, that the Ligo- nier branch may in the near future engage in the manufacture of a kindred line. Ligonier Iron Products Company During its period of maximum running, while both departments were located in Ligonier, there were employed nearly sixty persons and last year the Ligonier plant employed twenty-iive and the Florida plant fifty. The growth of the Highway Iron Products Company has been very rapid due to careful management and perseverance and is engaged in a line for which the future is practically unlimited. OTHER BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS The people of Ligonier are well served by the numerous business houses of the town, all of which it would be impossible to mention here. There is a sufficient number of grocery stores, meat markets, bakeries, dry goods stores, drug stores, shoe shops, and millinery shops, as well as of those selling men and women's ready-to-Wear clothing. There' is number of garages and oil stations which give efficient service. Many makes of auto- mobiles are sold by the various dealers. One of the oldest and most reputable business organizations is Stans- bury's Store which was founded by J. R. Stansbury in 1869. At the time the business opened the stock consisted of what was known as dry goods and Yankee notions. In the eleven years following, the business grew to such an extent that more room was needed. At this time a full line of g1'0C61'16S, dishes, and queensware was added to the stock. The present owner, Mrs. C. R. Stansbury. entered the business at the age of seventeen, in the year of 1880 and has given his entire time and energies to the service of the community and has a wide circle of patrons from farming communities. Another is the present E. Jacobs and Company, dealing in dry goods, ladies ready-to-wear clothing, and rugs. This business was organized in 1876 under the name of Jacobs and Goldsmith. Since 1880 it has con- tinued as E. Jacobs and Company. - ..---Z? I I Q -2 r I LL Page 20 iI,'jZ'3'- A ' - 11 B -qfi Messy NNN 1 . Q LIGONIER S BANKS We are fortunate in having three banks that give such excellent service to the people of the community. MIER STATE BANK. The Mier State Bank began with the business transac- tions of Solomon Mier about the year 1856, when the people, having gained confi- dence in the young man, began to leavetheir surplus money with him at his store ln Ligonier and receive ln return certificates of deposit. In the latter part of the 60's, Sol Mier entered more extensively into banking and his place of business became known as the Banking House of Sol Mier. On January 1, 1900, the men who are now the ofllcers of the present institution, as- sociated themselves with the late Solomon Mier, and the Banking House of Sol Mier became known as the Banking House of Sol Mier Company. On June 15, 1905, The Banking House of Sol Mier Company qualified under the State law and became Mier State Bank, thereby being the oldest and largest bank in Ligonier and the .flrst state bank in the city. On June 9, 1925, the twenty year charter of Mier State Bank ex- pired and on that date a new charter was issued. ' CITIZENS BANK. The Citizens Bank at Ligonier was founded in 1868. Its founders, Jacob Straus and his brothers, Frederick and Mathias had been ln the general merchandising business in Ligonier since 1860, and their success and high standing in the community had made possible the opening of the bank. When this bank was organized lt opened accounts with two correspondents, one in Chicago, The Merchants National Bank, and the other in New York, the Chem- ical National Bank. The latter is one of the largest banks in the city of New York, and is a correspondent today as 'lt has been for flfty-nine years. In 1910 the Citi- zens Bank was incorporated as a State Bank. Since it was created fifty-nine years ago the Citizens Bank as always paid every U V liability upon demand and has never found it necessary to take advantage of time even under the most trying situations. . The growth of the Citizens Bank has been an integral part of the growth of . Ligonier. Its fifty-nine years of success have been a part of the successful growth . U of its home. The prosperity which has made this new home possible is made pos- I : sible by the prosperity of Ligonier. S U The insurance department is prepared to write fire, tornado, burglary, auto- U S mobile, and accident insurance, contract and fidelity bonds, and every other class : U of risk. 5 S The b'ond department offers a flne selection of First Mortgage, Gravel Road, S and Municipal Bonds as well as other types of securities of stability and merit. I I U FARMERS AND MERCHANTS BANK. The Farmers and Merchants Trust U S f Company was organized in May, 1908, with paid-in capital stock of fifty thousand B E dollars. The stockholders were comprised of prominent, well-to-do farmers and S S business mefl. lauringi the twenty-one years it has seen its surplus grow until it E -v N s now equa to t e cap tal. - E The bank has specialized on thrift and savings accounts. It has the largest line E : of saving deposits of any bank in Ligonier. This department has enabled many : nu people to place trust funds in the hands of the bank at a great saving of time and un : expense to themselves. The splendid success of the organization demonstrates what : : can be done by men who enjoy the confidence of the community and who have al- 1 : ways strlven to render the public a just account of their stewardship. : 2 ! : X . , s-. h 5 , g p A J LA Page 21 3,...Mi,-.1!

The first attempt to organize a Pres- byterian church in this vicinity took place upon the Haw Patch and at the house of Seymore Moses on July 3, 1836, and was known by the name of the Presbyterian Church of Salem. The Church progressed well until 1842 at which time the name of the Church was changed to Haw Patch and was taken into Logansport Presbytery. A couple of years later it connected itself with the St. Joseph Presbytery which was of the New School. This Church was in operation for a number of years, but finally a U great many of the members moved away, some into Ligonier. For a couple of years there was no pastor but Union Sunday School e meetings were held in the Opera House. This Congregation decided to 5 organize a Presbyterian Church and a Committee appointed by the Fort I Wayne Presbytery arrived July 1, 1889 to effect the organization. The : first pastor was Rev. E. Barr who remained with the Church for seven S years. The present building was erected on the site of the old Waverly - Hotel and was dedicated on December 21, 1890. .It was repaired and re- ' : modeled fourteen years ago and again about one year ago. Among the A 2 charter members were David Cunningham, A. W. Lyon, Jessie A. Rice, l S J. C. Zimmerman, E. W. Knepper, David Schwab, J. S. Hayes, R. D. Kerr, Q E F. E. Hepler, as Well as the Galbreath, McConnell, Dewey, Gerber, and E Treash families. Throughout its years it has had as members many of 2 the outstanding people of Ligonier. : E E j S. f' +-T-'X J an Page 22 ' i-Y.,-.... f , ,A A 4 -K ,v---no-gag W' i 'f E Q-1 XYXX--lQ:Sf': O w sw, I U The Church has never been very strictly sectarian, and has catered to people who are not members of church. It has the usual organizations, the Sewing Society, the Social Hour, and the Young Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor. The Kings Daughters organization which has always been connected with this church has done much for local charity. METHODIST CHURCH. As early as 1831 ministers of the Metho- dist, Presbyterian and Baptist denominations began to appear about once a month and preach to the earliest inhabitants in the vicinity of Ligonier. Meetings were held in log cabins, barns and finally in schoolhouses. About 1842 the Methodists began holding meetings in Ligonier but the society, though probably founded in 1855, did not feel able to erect a church until 1846, when Henry Treer donated a lot to be used for religious purposes. There immediately followed the construction of the first church building in Ligonier. It was a small frame structure thirty by forty' feet but it served the purpose. Great revivals were held soon afterward and the membership grew. In 1855 there was another church building erected. Being remodeled several times it served until 1896 when the present M. E. Church was erected. This one was redecorated in 1914 and about a year ago both the chiirch and the parsonage were redecorated at a cost of sixty-five hundred dol ars. In 1877 two Wesleyan Methodist ministers, Rev. Charles Woodworth and Rev. Woodruff conducted a number of religious meetings in a tent on the public streets of Ligonier. A society was soon formed, many of the members coming from the Methodist Church already established in Lig- onier. Mr. William Lutey, resident of Ligonier, a very earnest Christian and a man of broad charity, immediately went to the head of the society. He furnished fifteen hundred dollars with which a small brick church was built on the north side of town on the corner west of where the U. B. Church now stands. Later this man bought a parsonage costing eight hundred dollars and presented it as a gift to the church. This society ex- isted for some time but finally discontinued and the members again joined the first Methodist Church. . This church has had a number of very strong men as pastors. in- cluding Rev. Beatty, now deceased, W. W. Maring, and Charles L. DeBow. Rev. Reynolds has been pastor for the last three years. The Church mem- bership is about two hundred and seventy-five. Connected with the church there are the Sabbath School, the Epworth League, the Womens Foreign Missionary Society, and Standard Bearers. CATHOLIC CHURCH. The Catholics began to assemble in about the year 1858, at which time Father Henry Fone, an itinerant priest began pilgrimages from Fort Wayne. But few Catholic families lived in Ligo- nier and vicinity at that time but finally sufficient finance was accumu- lated to build a small frame church. This was done in 1806. This with some little improvement was used until 1875 when it was entirely re- modeled at a cost of fifteen hundred dollars. .4-Y 1 J u Page 23 Page 24 Father Noll who is now Bishop of the Fort Wayne Diocese was priest of the Ligonier Church from 1899 to 1902. Father Marmon, Father Kel- ler and Father Halpan have served since that time. At present Father Stoll leads the congregation which is made up of thirty families. ...MM -f 'W-M' 'H+--Q5 Q .fra was Meetings are held every two weeks except during the summer months when church is held every Sunday. CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The Ligonier Christian Church was organ- ized April 26, 1863, with a membership-of fifteen. During its existence it has wielded,a great influence in the community. The present member- ship is about one hundred. The building in which the congregation worships was erected in 1856 by the Universalists and used by the society for a few years. It was bought from them by Harrison Wood who sold an interest in it to the Christian church in June, 1863. In May, 1867 ,. it was struck by lightning and considerably damaged. It was at once repaired at a cost of 31,200 and a number of changes made. It was moved back twelve feet and placed on a new foundation, the vestibule was changed and the steeple built. Other repairs have been made from time to time as the building needed them. Rev. I. N. G-risso is pastor of the church. The three elders are Baily Ray, Chauncy Bowman, J. C. Kimmellg the deacons are George Brown, John Shell, Ray Wolfe, Charles Cornelius, Howard Helwig, Ralph Smith, and Ed Harper. The property is held by three trustees, J. C. Kimmell, George Brown, and John Shell. Of the Sunday School, Charles Cornelius is Superintendent. The Junior department with Mrs. Baily Ray at its head is a special feature. There are also a Ladies Missionary Society, a Ladies Aid Society, and a Girl's Triangle Club connected with the church. JEWISH CHURCH. The Jewish Church, the Ahavas Sholem, was first organized in September, 1867, when the congregation built a syna- 3 gogue on Main street just south of the residence of Mr. Henry Green. U This building stood there and served its purpose until the new temple was dedicated a few blocks south, in September, 1899, when it was moved and located on the lot at the rear of the new temple and was used for a Sun- . day School and other purposes. Mr. F. W. Straus was the first president u of the congregation, Mr. Solomon Mier, vice president and Jacob Straus 5 and others were the trustees. The first Rabbi was Jacob Baum who of- S ficiated from 1837 to 1871. S - I Feeling the need of newer and better quarters the congregation re- I solved in 1888 to provide a new church home. They secured a lot on South : Main Street just south of the residence of Mr. L. J. Dunning. They put 5 up a fine fine brick structure, with the outside walls of pressed brickg the 5 E roof was of stone slate, and the interior was made beautiful by finishing l E in natural wood and with stained glass windows. The dedicatory exer- 3 cises held on September 5, 1889, were most interesting and imposing, the : sermon being preached by Dr. Rabbi Wise of Cincinnati. Music was fur- : nished by the famous Ligonier Military Band. E u ! 1 S ,I ' A 3 an Page 25 5 1 ' :lL fl l Nxxx 4 cl l I i s e w l l U At present Mr. Sol Henoch is presdient, Mr. Jonas Schloss, vice presi- dent, and Fred Ackerman, secretary. The Rabbi is William Stern of South Bend. ' UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH. The United Brethren Church of Ligonier was organized January 1, 1874, in an old school house on the North Side, by Rev. F. Thomas, as part of Indian Village Circuit, St. Jo- seph Annual Conference. In the fall of 1874 Ligonier with Burr Oak was made Ligonier Mission Station. In 1878 with Burr Oak and Solomon's Creek, it was called Ligonier Circuit, but in 1888 under the labors of W. M. Burr, D. D., it became a self-supporting station. In the organization then were forty charter members. - During the second year of the Church there was quite a religious awakening and a great number received into the Church. The present Church building was built in 1874 and was dedicated by Bishop J. Weaver, D. D., February 21, 1875. It was in 1888 that the large and commodious parsonage was built. This Church is now one of the strongest in towng the number of mem- bers is two hundred and fifty. Rev. Risley, formerly a missionary to Africa is pastor at the present time. Connected with the Church are the Sunday School, of which Mrs. H. E. Robinson is Superintendent, a Women's Missionary Society, a Ladies Aid Society, a Christian Endeavor, and an Otterbein Guild, a girls' Missionary Society. l ADVENTIST CHURCH. In May, 1875, Elders I. H. Land and H. M. Kenyon, of Michigan pitched a tent on the same lot on which the Advent- ist Church now stands. Six weeks were devoted to a discussion of the more cardinal points of the faith. At the end of this time there were about forty members. At one time the membership reached one hundred and twenty. The congregation soon built a brick church which cost about three thousand dollars. It was dedicated December 23, 1877. In place of a regular ordained minister in charge of the congregation this people have an ordained elder and depend on ministerial help as the occasion may demand or opportunity present itself. Alexander Stutzman was elected Elder when the congregation was first organized. CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST. A comparatively new religious organiza- tion is that of the Christian Scientists. The first ,meeting was held on De- cember 3 1912 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Plank. Some of those Who attended the meeting were Mrs. Lew Dunning, Mrs. Jack Reese, Mrs Jonah Schloss Mrs. Eli Jacobs Miss Olive Galbreath, Mrs. Bessie Gegg and Mrs. Ashton Sedgwick. For one year the meetings were held at the homes of the members, then above Levy's store. ' time Mrs. Lew Dunning was chosen First Reader, and Mrs. Sheets, Second Reader. At the present time services are held in an apartment in the Wier Block. Mr. Herman Blitz is First Reader and Mrs. Charles Dark Second Reader 2 I WI IW Q ll llllllllllllll . , ' Q In Novmber, 1919, the group was organized into a society. At this : I t I J an Page 26' Wxx 3..,.1, 'r A l Lb 413 amasse- XJ The High School Building as it looked before the wings were added l FIRST SCHOOLS. The first school building erected on the p1'esent site of Lig- onier was a small hewed log structure rudely and hastily put together, in about 1837, by four or five of the early settlers in the vicinity. One of the men was Jacob Wolf from whose land the logs were taken. Miss Ashca Kent was employed to teach the first school: she received her salary by subscriptions and by boarding around. The second teacher was Henry Hostetter, and the third James Miller. The log school- house was used for almost everything until about 1851, when on account of its dilap- idated condition it was succeeded by a small fram building which was known far and near as the Red Schoolhouse . WHEN THE TEACHER FAILED AND FELL. A few years after thi-s school- house was erected, Mr. Eli B. Gerber was employed to teach the young urchins who assembled there. The first morning he fired up his sinking courage, repaired to the ' school, and began vigorously to ring the bell. Miscalculating either on his strength or on the toughness of the bell rope, the cord snapped off just as he began to ring. What in the world was to be done? A happy thought darted through his bewildered mind. He would ascend into the loft through the small uncovered opening in the ceiling, and tie the rope together, The thought was no sooner conceived than up the 3 loft he went. By this time the children began to flock in, anxious for a good squint S at the new teacher. They saw nothing of that functionary until the latter, making : a misstep above, came thundering down through the plaster, tearing off, on the way, : nearly half of the lath on the ceiling. The students stared in terror at the formid- Q able object, thinking, doubtless, that the old Devil himself was after them, and then, g with one accord ran pell-mell out of the room thoroughly frightened. School on : that day was a decided failure. E THE RED SCHOOLHOUSEH. The old red school house was built in the l E ordinary way, by means of funds raised by direct taxation. This was used until E 1865 when the present three storied brick building was constructed at a cost of about S S12,000. Money certificates or orders on the Town Treasurer, for stipulated sums : were issued by the Trustees, and purchased by the citizen-s. The citizens were sadly : U I ! 2 I A 'J an Page 27 r mx U 1- . 1,5 -qt, -ggeaav 6 WI W The present North Side School Building in want of a more commodious schoolhouse, and they advanced the money. In this manner no trouble was experienced in getting money to build the house. The build- ing was to be located upon the pub'lic square, the third story being fitted for a town hall to satisfy objections to transforming the park into a school yard. THE WHITE SCHOOLHOUSE. For a number of years prior to the erection of the brick, the old red schoolhouse was so dilapidated and small that select schools sprang into existence in various parts of the town. Vacant rooms here and there were converted to 'school uses, and the old red schoolhouse was left to the wind, owls and bats. The log and red frame schoolhouses were not the only ones in early years as in 1857, when the north side had become well popul.ated, a frame schoolhouse, a little larger than the old red one, and commonly known as the White Schoolhouse to distinguish it from the other, was erected there and used till 1873 when a new yt one was built at a cost of about three thousand dollars. At this time there were also denominational as well as select schools. The second building was used until 1899 when the present two storied brick building Was erected. HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING ERECTED. The first movement toward the erec- tion of the high school building was a petition presented to the town trustees in U May, 1875, asking that a special ordinance be passed, to issuel town bonds to the amount of ten thousand dollars. The trustees of Perry Township promised to levy for the same amount, to b'e placed with that raised by the town and applied toward - the erection of the building. Definite action on this subject was deferred until April, : 1876, during which time it was thoroughly discussed. During this time it was de- C cided to put eighteen thousand dollars into the schoolhouse, two-thirds of which was : to be paid by the town on account of the greater benefit likely to be received by it. : However, before this debt was wholly liquidated twenty thousand dollars was paid : by the town of Ligonier. During the year of 1877 this building was completed and 1 two rooms furnished. However the schools were still in the central building with E but little prospect of their removal to the new one. E ORGANIZATION OF HIGH SCHOOL. Professor D. B. Luke of Goshen was em- E ployed to superintend the town schools. Within a few weeks after opening the E school it became apparent to him that under the existing conditions good organization : was out of the question, and he urged this fact on the school board, and asked them E : C I E I t . m . . , an I Page 28 ..e.- .... V ,, , :A - I-'-:Qc-s-X S2121-Y ,D Q NNN ' X . xxx 'r J i I 4 I , . The present High School Building I to permit a removal of part of the central school to the new building. The board objected to the proposition on the ground of being unable to employ an extra teacher. At that time they had employed in the central building, four teachers in addition to the superintendent, whose business it was to supervise the schools and hear classes in the recitation room. The fact was obvious that if a high, school could be organized it would not only stimulate the lower grades but afford the pupils greater advant- ages, and a more methodic system of study. In view of this fact, the superintendent proposed to the board that with their permission, he would organize the highschool in the new building and teach it himself, thus saving the expense of an extra teacher, and giving such attention to the supervision of the schools as his time would allow. To this proposition the board gave their consent, and immediately the high school was organized in the new building with an enrollment of forty pupils. Miss Nye was made principal of the schools in the central building where two hundred pupils were enrolled. OUR SUPERINTENDENTS. As superintendent Mr. Luke was succeeded in 1887 by Mr. Blunt, who served until his sudden death in 1890. Mr. Dolan was chos- I en to fill out the unexpired part of the school yearg he remained in charge during 1 another year. The next superintendent, Mr. Palmer was here for twenty-two years. Since that time the schools have been under the -management of Mr. Elrod, three years, Mr. Kinney two years, Mr. Renkenberger two years, and Mr. Craig three years. U This is Mr. Allen's fourth year as superintendent. For three years before he was U principal of the high school. Miss Alice Vallance, principal of the departmental school, has the honor of being the only 'person who has been with the school under every superintendent of Ligonier schools. She was first a student, then a teacher. Although she taught in New York for eight years it was only during a part ot Mr. . ,W Palmer's term here. - - CONSTRUCTION OF WINGS. In 1911 the wings on either side of the present 5 - high school building were added. During the time that they were under construction S C classes were held in various parts of town, in the rooms over store buildings, in the - : dining room of the Christian Church and in the basement of the library. : E WHAT IS BEING PLANNED. By next year we are hoping to have another ad- U - dition to our high school building not only for school but all community uses. If 5 E present plans are carried out, the new addition will extend north eighty-iive feet and 5 -' consist of two stories, the first to be devoted to a gymnasium, the second to class- S rooms. The third story of the present b'uilding will be torn away, and the as- ., sembly and classrooms on the second fioor enlarged by means of making fewer 3 E rooms and moving partitions. ' ' 3 0 I have given here the past history of our schools and the people who have la- S S bored to make them what they are. This year's story of our dear old L. H. S. is told - E in the following pages. -ROSABELLE M. BRODE. : U u E - : S E 2 M g ll J I ' k - ' W A 3 1,41 Page 29 Page 30 3 ,.,.

ALLEN I l 1 I Mr. Allen, our superintendent, hails from Muncie, Indiana. He at- 1 tended school at Indiana University from which he received his A. B. I degree. He is the Senior History instructor of L. H. S., and is much es- 1 I teemed and admired by his students. The high school bands are his main Q hobby and Mr. Allen has assisted many would be band players by buying instruments for them to use during their high school days. Mr. Allen has always been interested in athletics and has at times 3 even helped to coach the team. There have not been many basket-ball V games at which Mr. Allen's bright and smiling face could not be seen. Throughout the whole year, he has supported every enterprise upon which the school has entered, and I.'m sure that the student body one and all will agree with me that as a superintendent, Mr. Allen is hard to beat. -A .f A gkg'.. i5',, S j Page 32 s:r:.2rf'- '---f-s 43 at I,T'4l....w2 X, XXX HI CLARENCE M. WERTZ Mr. Wertz, our principal, is everybody's friend. He attended Wis- consin University, Valparaiso University, from which he received a Bach- elor of Science degree, and Indiana University, from which he received a Bachelor of Arts degree. Mr. Wertz teaches College Algebra, Algebra and Geometry, and he certainly has succeeded wonderfully considering the material with which he has to work. Mr. Wertz has always been a loyal supporter of basket-ball, and other U athletics and has backed the school in every way. The success of our high U school carnival was due largely to his efforts. At a party, Mr. Wertz is just a kid with the rest of us, and enters into the spirit of the occasion with as much pep and fun as anyone could hope to have. um o ig This is Mr. Wertz's third year here, and we are hoping he will be with us for many more.

It is easy to speak of our many accomplishments during ourtbrilliant three years career in L. H. S., but we desire to refrain from giving even the appearance of boasting, thus showing the mental ability of our,Sen1ors and the modesty of our Sophomores. We have elected our officers according to form, we are proud of our quota of start basket ball playersg We have yelled valiantly at all the games and in every way have kept abreast with the times. Social duties have been most carefully observed, for Whe have felt that if we had all knowl- V edge and had not love, We were as nothing. At the beginning of the Sophomore year only thirty-eight answered to the roll call, but these determlned to make up 1n quallty what was . lost in quantity. Efficient officers were chosen and we went happily on 5 our way as one of the peppiest classes ever in L. H. S. s From deserters of other classes We have acquired a few new members, I but who could blame them? None of our original numbers have deserted S us, but a few have been called away by action of the Faculty. E The last few weeks of our Junior year are rapidly passing, and as S we lobk about us for the mantle of Senior dignity-so soon to be-we feel 5 that our record has been satisfactory, that we have done our duties to the 3 full extent of our ability. In dolng these we feel that we have left a deep S impression of our predominant qualities, intellect and genius, upon our E successors.

I am pretty well acquainted here now and like some of. the kids quite l well. I'll try to characterize each one of my class and let you pass your opinion on them. Esther DePore, who is French as you can tell by her name, is quick tempered, but is usually pleasant. James Galloway is a short, fat merry fellow, who is out for the good times of life. Lillian Rex, a walking jew- elry store, is the Latin pupil of the class. Gladys Hite, jump center of A the class team is always ready to do what any one asks. Sarah Nichols, a new girl, is very quiet and studious. Arnold Beckner is in only one of - my classes. He is as quiet as a mouse in class but I've heard he isn't that way outside of school.

Allison Bolitho was chosen as class spon- sor. James Galloway was elected President, Jane Burkhart, Vice-Presi- dentg and Robert Cunningham, Secretary and Treasurer. The Freshman class did much to promote the success of the school Carnival and to make it an even to be remembered in the history of L. H. S. Two parties were held at the High School Gym, and Sophomores were entertained at the second one. As Sophomores, twenty-four of the original number were enrolled. Mr. Wisner was chosen as class sponsor for the year '26-'27. The ofiifficers were Buryl Taylor, Presidentg Rose Schrock, Vice-President, and William Nelson, Secretary-Treasurer. The class again took an active part in the school Carnival. The Treas- ure Island, the Souvenir and Pop Corn stands were assigned to them. One party which was very different from those of the previous year was held at the home of Gertrude Surfus. The Sophomores of '26-'27 were represented on the Girl's Varsity basket ball team by Rose Schrock, with Margaret Kelly and Eleanor Wil- liams on the second team. 'Although we have been in High School only two years we wish to do all in our power for Ligonier High and make of our class one to be re- membered after our graduation in 1929.

Our game was called on September 7, 1926, with forty-six players. After having elected Samuel Patton, captain, Winfield Sutton, score keeper, and Robert Cunningham to take the pennies we decided on Miss Kathryn Bolitho as our coach. We chose purple and White for our colors and the lilac as our flower. During the half we had a team party at the gym. Although the upper classmen looked down on us as a poor team our boys showed that they knew the game when it came to picking senior girls. -Donald Cotherman xxx Page 67 Page 68 , -.v-V ,Jax ,,,-X fd if-H'-vw-wx i - --ii-T,,..l - -I , 17X K R Q 1 H, QJJLUJJN C5 GMT 3?

It was founded in 1913 by Miss Vallance as a means of bringing out the t f ability of members of the class in debating and public speaking, and also to give 1 . i them training in assuming the responsibilities incidental to an organization. 5 Meetings are held once in two weeks on Friday. Several in the class of 1927 are talented in music, and furnish delightful entertainment at our class meetings. On I March 24 and 25 we presented the play, A Bunch of Fun, which we have been 1 t.old was a complete success. Q i We have taken an active part in athletics, and some of our boys showed marked f ability as basket ball players in The Big 10 Tourney held the week of March 7-11. ' Mr. Hendrickson is our coach. We are also fortunate in having a girl's basket ball tj team, which is coached by Miss Palin. This year the Seventh and Eighth Grades were given membership on the Student Council. We were represented the first semester by Rose King and James Sack re- . spectivelyg the second semester by Donald Bennett and Ira Shobe. The class officers s for the first semester were James Sack, Presidentg Marian Wray, VicePresidentg Ira z Shobe, Secretaryg and Florence Oldfather, Treasurer. Officers for the second semes- U ter consist of Ira Shobe, Presidentg Edwin Spurgeon, Vice-Presidentg Mary Jane , - Lundy, Secretary, and Florence Oldfather, Treasurer. I E E Each year the E. G. L.

Our President is a member of the coun- cil of students, V When he sits in this council we hope he shows prudence And -stands for our rights as all presi- dents dog Not letting others boss him and so change his view. Our meetings, held jointly by seven and eight, Have been very enjoyable, as many relate. The contests held by these grades for years Are still being practiced, come smiles or come tears. This year the seventh at the end will win out, We're the smartest we know, so there isn't much doubt. At the fair in October we had a fine booth. And catered to those who had a sweet tooth. Our play that we gave was spicey and tarty Now the name of this play was Black Sambo's Party. SEVENTH GRADE At our convocation they all said, You're great! We were then quite swell headed we don't mind to state. Last semester Seven B and Eight B were a tie At the end of the second we'll lead or die. But the classes have now all been divided, So four are now working since that was decided. The Senior Highs think that they take the lead They turn up their noses and make our hearts bleed. They kept the tennis courts all of the time But we're independent and have a fine line. So our boys got to work and made a court of our own Now they can stay off-we'll just play alone: We'll turn up our noses at big L. I-I. S. And win in the finals-they'll feel bad we guess. If, as seventh graders, we do our part fine, Do you think the Black Hand will let us all jine? Now this is enough of this wonderful We have members in second and also prate- first band You'll hear from us soon when we enter And know as musicians they're best in grade eight. the land. ---Rosemary J.

It consisted only of students of the three upper classes. Officers were elected as follows: Exalted Chief, Robert Wigtong President, Ray Meroneyg Vice-President, James Kelleyg Secretary and Treasurer, Dora Hite, and Sergeant-at-Arms, Adrian Wolfe. The primary purpose of the club was to learn parliamentary rules and hold discussions on present day problems. Near the end of the school term a party was held at the lake and everyone took part in a wonderful time. The next year the remaining members of the club returned to their school activities determined to carry on the work of the organization. New officers were elected consisting of: Exalted, Chief, Sydney Harper, Presi- dent, Carroll Goshorng Secretary and Treasurer, Dora Hite, and Sergeant- at-Arms, David Cunningham. New members were initiated into the club and the work resumed. Many interesting debates and talks fol'owed that all took a part in and enjoyed. We hope that the oncoming students will keep this club in existence and have much fun in doing so as we have had. --Dora Hite THE CURRENT EVENTS CLUB The Current Events Club was organized in October, 1926. This club consisted of the members of the History III Class, supervised by Miss Smith. The purpose of this organization was to promote in History III a bet- ter idea of world events, and to perform any duties which might aid the Student Council or any other organization in the betterment of school life. When the club was organized George Bryan was elected Presidentg George King, Vice-President 5 and Margaret Hite, Secretary and Treasurer. The second semester Fred Bowen was elected President' Janice Gos?in Vice-Presidentg and Virginia Oldfather, Secretary and Treasurer The Literary Digest was used as a basis for discussion. Pupils were assigned topics and oral reports were given. Two critics were appointed at each meeting. After the close of all discussions they reported, giving During the year the club enjoyed a party at the home of Margaret Hite.

Yes, it was at very difllcult matter to choose a competent ljlflnnial tribe. Finally, after careful consideration the tribe was chosen. Squaw Rosabelle ilrode was made Editor-in-Chief because that position required heap much brains. All through the history the squaws have done the ditflcult tasks. To circulate this ijidnnial. Lcnora Kunkalman was mvade the manager-and although she is a squaw-who should be classed as one of the braxes of the l,'lCnnial tribe, for she was certainly brave to undertake the job ot' Circulation Manager. Kenneth Wertz-the papoose of Chief Wertz-'was appointed llusiness Manager but he went on a hunting trip for mental provender and left Fhief VVertz and the squaw. Rosalmelle Bi-ode, to manage the job, Fred liowen-a much tall buck-had proved himself to be such an excellent collector for his dad that. he was made Advertising Manager. liernice liager was certainly the squaw to be Art iflditor--'more hard work for the squaws. Jane Wertheimer, captain of the girls IS. IS. team in 1925-26, was chosen Athletic Editor because it was thought that she might know something' of the game, and then, too, a certain boy on the boys team could help her. The heap fat buck, George Bryan was appointed Joke Editor because the jokes always have much weight in any annual. it was decided that that lazy squaw, Marion Lake did not have enough to keep' her bu and that she did not work enough so she was made Society and Dramatic Editor The Motto Editor was Hortense Selig--she could give much wise council so she would iind much wise mottos. For Alumni Editor Virginia Oldfather was chosen because she could probably-with the better than anyone else could. Another heap fat member of the tribe was Opal NVeeks. She was made Snapshot lflditoi so that in gathering pictures her avoirdupois would be lessened. Carroll Goshorn and Virginia Gentry, alias Mutt and Jeff were selected Calendar Editors since Mutt was an excellent poet and Jeff would hear all the school gossip from her friends This was thc L'ICnnial tribe chosen and each member has proved that Chief VVertz and Chief llunkle were truly wise Chiefs. Much credit must also be given, however. to all the stu dents and teachers of Ligonier iligh School since they have worked with unfailing effort to help put over this annual. -Vllu:lN1A qpqN'r1gY J C lllllll lllllllllllllll sy help of her family-give information as to the old fathers who had graduated from ll, H. . i r fi Page 75 , E lx ':'N Cztqr-M If 'B . in X, -.

The main objective was to promote co-operation, loyalty, and honesty among students. Last year, this was considered an experiment, but it was deemed sufficiently effective and successful to be continued. This year, the six-year-old plan of High School having been adopted, the membership of the council was extended to include representatives from the seventh and eighth grades. The control of the organization assumed larger proportions when it XJ took charge of morning and noon assemblies, listed rules for general con- U duct of students and fostered the organization for a Board of Athletic Control. In addition to these activities, committees were appointed for cataloging and taking care of books in the assembly library, and for pre- serving order in gymnasium and lunch rooms at noon. 5 The members of the Student Council consist of the presidents of the E six classes, and the presidents of each of the extra-curricular organizations y and two members elected at large. The members of this councilare Flor- S ence Cotherman, Rosabelle Brode, Marian Lake, Sydney Harper, George : Bryan, Fred Bowen, Carroll Goshorn, Jane Wertheimer, Buryl Taylor, Sam 5 Patton, Rose King, Donald Bennett, Ira Shobe, and James Sack. E Although the Council is still considered to be in the experimental E stage We hope that our efforts have been successful enough this year that E the organization will continue in the years to follow. 2 --Florence Cotherman E I !

S. band was organized under the leadership of Phil Farren. The band progressed so rapidly that by the spring of the same year it was giving public concerts. During the summer months the music was carried on and the talent was so great that the band was called upon to play for several out of town basket ball games and other en- f tertainments. t I A second band was organized in 1925, not only for boys but for girls I also. The musical ability was found to be just as great among these stu- I dents so that by the second semester they were advanced to the first band. After several concerts and much practising the L. H. S. band went to U Indianapolis, with new capes and caps, to participate in the high school U musical contest being held at the State Fair. Our band came out with X laurels, capturing first prize in the state of Indiana. g In 1926 a new band master, Arthur Reed, took charge of the students, 5 another second band was organized and also a third for the students in S s the lower grades. E 5 In February, 1927, a band concert was given by the Goshen and Ligo- S S nier bands combined. It was a fine program and not only showed marvel- : E ous musical ability but also excellent directing. 5 E We hope our band will continue to progress as rapidly in the future I 2 E as it has in the past.

It is composed of thirty enthusiastic members who meet twice a week during the winter for rehearsals. The chief object of the glee club has been to promote better singing inspire a love of good music, and to share the joy that comes from singing beautiful songs. Several times during the year the girls have expressed their loyalty to the high school by entertaining during convocation periods with special music. These special numbers have always been enthusiastically received by the student body and by visitors. The girls' glee club, assisted by a specially selected boy's chorus, will present in May, the musical comedy, The Gypsy Rover. From a musical and dramatic standpoint, this operetta is expected to be one of the finest that has been presented so far by L. H. S.

As small children do, We came early and stayed late. The Freshman girls were initiated with the usual fear and trembling on their part. And eat! How we did eat! Even the lady members of the faculty forgot their roles of dignified grown-up ladies and time turned back, for one night at least, with a vengeance. The costumes were clever and cunning. The prize for the best dressed upperclass kid was given to Isabelle Taylor, and the prize for the Fresh- man kid to Janice Sedgwick. It has been the custom for several years to thus initiate our Freshman girls into Senior H. S. and since they have proved to be so enjoyable, it is to be hoped they will be continued. -Marian Lake THE SLIDING PARTY Remember that sliding party last January? And the heavy snow we had? It was just before exams, but they were forgotten for one evening, at least. Everyone had sleds, and the new toboggan worked splendidly. Before the evening was over, students as well as faculty were profic- ient in their use of sleds. Remember how those four horsemen would stand up and ride down with Carroll guiding and Mr. Wisner bringing up the rear? Their knowledge of laws of gravity was put to good use. Remember when you got home so wet, tired, and cold that your ga- loshes would hardly come oi ? Yet even then you were asking I wonder if the snow will stay until Friday and Saturday ? -Marian Lake THE BOX SOCIAL At about seven thirty o'clock on the evening of February fifteenth, many girls with large packages wrapped in such a manner that no one could see the contents, came to the school house. Later many boys came who were anxious for the sale of the packages to begin. Still later in the evening, after many prettily decorated boxes had been sold, the owners of the boxes and the boys' who bought them went to the tables and ate their lunches. When every one had finished eating, four cakewalks were held. The winners of the cakes were Janis Sedgwick, Janice Goslin, Bernice Rager, and Virginia Gentry. -Margaret Kelley Page 82 if ' ---W -W'-6-Q5 .i . , ,N W- i1.QJF ' - .

For days, yes, even weeks before, we had lab'ored long and hard I 1 to make a success of this event, and to say we did that is stating it mildly. L I Everyone worked. As no one shirked or in any way attempted to block the 1 5 wheels of progress, we were prepared when the evening came. It would seem that ' all Ligonier and vicinity visited the building at some time during the evenings and , they were very generous in their support. The different classes had worked very hard on their plays and stunts, but all - were well repaid by the applause and patronage afforded them. The circus, sponsored by the Seniors, was unusually clever, and must come at ly! the top of the list. The sight of Opal Weeks, Virginia Gentry, and Florence Coth- erman in their roles of clowns will never be forgotten. Jack gave an excellent picturization of a ring leader's line , costume, and actions. Rosabelle Brode, as magician, besides being a treat for the eye, gave several demonstrations of the magicianls black art. The managers of this circus were very glad that the animals were on good behavior, as no stampede was desired. The booths served as not only useful, but beautiful, decorations. One would hardly have recognized our poky old study hall! Candy, pop, hot dogs, ice cream, S crepe-paper-all one grand riot of color and smell. Some of the novelty booths were U x Treasure Island and Fortune Telling . In connection with the latter, the sup- : port of Miss Smith and Miss Kline was greatly appreciated. ' The voting for Miss L. H. S. called for more purchases and resulted in the I election of Miss Virginia Gentry. 3 g I The Junior Jazz Band also deserves special recognition. You will remember it Q , was advertised as the Kitchen Sink Revue, a very clean show. 5 The Carnival was as successful financially as it was socially. There was an in- g crease over the amount earned at the former carnival and, as time goes on and S more experience is gained, we believe the income will prove still greater. --MARIAN LAKE E 1 x X X fbi 2 I Y E, 1 .

Rosabelle and Lenora were commissioned to invite Santa S22 if H - QD -ig and to instruct him to remember teachers as well as Seniors. Bridge, bunco, solitaire, checkers, a laughing contest, and music were the entertainments of the evening. Nadine received a bottle of perfume and David a pocket book for having high bunco scores and Elizabeth re- ceived Jiggs for consolation. Delightful refreshments were served and everyone enjoyed them until Florence scrambled upon top of a table that collapsed. Presently Santa arrived and distributed presents from the prettily decorated tree. The teachers as well as Seniors were rememberd. Miss Smith, being so fond of sweets, received a jar of stick candy. Mrs. Dunkle, in order that she may trace her pencil when borrowed was donated a bell to tie on it. Mr..Reed, who directs the orchestra was delighted with a violin tuner, which he was supposed to use for the orchestra. Because the Senior girls are not partial to red moustaches, Mr. Wertz was presented with a box of shoe blackening. Miss Carlson, our baby teacher, received a dainty box of pink and blue stationery on which to write her love letters. Miss Bo- litho, freshman sponsor was given a dictionary with which to assist the Frosh toward graduation. Mr. Wisner received a most needed article, a gun with which to protect his property. Miss Palin received a box of nursery handkerchiefs for a nice little girl. A bank was presented to Mr. Emerson in which he could save his pennies for Irene. To keep Mr. Allen from falling he was given a tube of glue with which to fasten his chair to the fioor. The party ended happily, the only sad feature being the fact that it was the last Christmas high school party of the class of '27. SENIOR CLASS PICNIC It was the last of Mayg school was, drawing to a close, and the picnic fever was in the air. Lenora offered her home at Wawasee as a place to have the usual Senior class picnic. One fine day the class loaded into cars and journeyed to the big lake, in search of hidden pleasures. Florence and Virginia did not believe that the water was wet, so they went ,in swimming. Ah! Those eats! Will I ever forget them? Everyone ate until it seemed as if they could not live. You know, of course, that Opal is a very delicate eater, but on this day of days she broke her fast and lost the record for abstemiousness. Ah, that was a great day even if many of us did go home almost ill We shall always remember it as a red letter day of our high school life f 3 Page 85 Q lllllllll I ll llllllllllllllh .ln SZl.'7Jf 'A' ' i 15 43 -M. s LTZTS X ' 6 JUNIOR CLASS PARTY MX Twenty-eight strong, on January thirty-first, the Junior Class of L.

James Galloway was awarded the prize for the Gum-Drop Chewing Contest . While playing Say Whom Do You Love we learned not only many dark secrets concerning our class mates, but also many concerning cer- tain members of the faculty.

Mr. Shields, a Chicago friend, has brought her home. Mr. Simmons does not approve of the friendship between Shields and Ethel. He thinks his business partner, Chester Binney, would be the proper mate for Ethel, so he talks to Mr. Binney about the matter. A plan is devised to make Ethel fall ln love with Chester. Some photographs are purchased for the sake of making Ethel jealous. One of the pictures is that of Letty Lythe, the motion picture star. Chester is supposed to have had a love affair with her while in Los Angeles three years before. U Ethel's friends, Lila Wilson and Sally Otis, soon have the whole town talking.

A brief synopsis of the play is as follows: The Winklers arrive at a certain Halsyon House for rest and quiet, but tranquility is banished when it is necessary to secure so many husband and wives. Aunt Jane decides she would like oneand Bobby Baxter has been trying for some time to secure Winkler's consent to his marriage to Jane. All have their own original plans for winning their end, and all prove successful to a marked degree. - That the characters did so well in his or her part is due largely to the ability of the coach, Miss Palin. Each person in the cast fitted in exactly U and all the details of feature, complexion, etc., which the play demanded was efficiently cared for. . The entre-acts were unusually clever. They consisted of solos by 5 Corinne Deardorff and a comedy sketch by Corinne Deardorff, Marcile S Marker and Mae LeCount.

Rob is stolen when an infant, by his nurse, Meg, who later becomes the wife of Marto, a gypsy. Rob grows to manhood among the gypsies, believing Meg and Marto to be his parents. I It happens one day, while riding with her fiance, Lord Craven, that Lady Constance Martendale becomes lost in the woods. They wander to the gypsy camp where Constance and Rob meet and fall in love at first sight. Craven objects to Rob's attitude but in a very funny comedy scene with Marto and Sinfo he is made to tell Sir George, who later comes in , U search of Constance, that Rob is a charming fellow. In Act II Rob goes U to the home of Constance and serenades her. They plan to .elope but are overheard by Craven who informs Sir George, and plans are made to cap- ture Rob. This is successfully accomplished and Rob is thrown into . prison, but later escapes. ' 3 5 Two years elapse and Rob has come into his estates, his identity has 5 1 been proved by Meg. He becomes a successful composer, a friend of the : : Prince, and a social lion. Constance has remained true to her love for Rob T : E and, on his return to England he woos and wins her for his wife. As Rob : U says, The good fairies have led me to the beautiful country after all, and I I 5 ogg' story, Constance, can end in the proper way, 'They lived happily ever E a er'. 5 5 There are also pretty love affairs between Nina and Captain Jerome, E 5' and Zara and Sinfo, and many comedy scenes by Sinfo and Marto.

As these were the results of much ef- W X fort and planning on the part of the school members, it is fitting that notice should be taken of their efforts. i . D if! Senior Convocation 2. This entertainment was a farce, consisting S' If mainly of the Senior Tranquility Band. This band was composed of Jack , Draper fleaderi, Opal Weeks, Babe Francisco, Lenora Kunkalman, David 1 Cunningham, Sidney Harper and Jim Schlotteruback. All were dressed in J crazy costumes and acted just as crazy .

Their ' voices blended remarkably. . 1 . l ' Junior Convocation: The Juniors opened their program by a sextette , omposed of James Carney, Carroll Goshorn, Robert Buckles, George King, J l George Bryan, and Fred Bowen. Hortense Selig read an Oflglllal story, 3 l and the audience followed the life history of the hero,Oscar, with interest. Q James Carney gave a saxophone solo, with several encores. As lntroduct- ory to the wedding of Two Good Sports, Rebecca Tennlsball and Ezekiah Baseball, Mae LaCount sang Oh Promise Me . Fred and eorge were the bride and groom, and the whole ceremony was carried out with a very clever mixture of sport terms. . Sophomore Convocation: The Sophomores gave a moving picture as J their contribution, something that is always welcomed by the students. . Sarah Nichols, a new schoolmate, played a piano solo in a very pleasing l manner. A quartette also added charm to the hour. u l Freshman Convocation: First was an octette.

Owing to conflicting dates for the arrival of guests, Mr. and Mr-s. Huting turned to Dr. and Mrs. Grandon to relieve the situation by taking five college girls, includ- ing their daughter, Alice. The Grandons accept the proposal with enthusiasm, but their sister Miss Martha has a diiierent opinion of the matter. The first scene is laid in the living room of the rectory, in the morning. The 1 bunch arrives and is found to be a delightful group. The second scene is a few days later in the same room. The bunch is estab lished and active. The maid, Christina, endeavors to send a message of love to a young man and instead calls out the fire department. The third scene is laid in the living room of the rectory, about two weeks later A lawn party is given at which the young people entertain. The bunch choose partners and the play ends with the promise of four happy weddings in the near future. -MARY JANE LUNDY re ig? l 4 Q lllllllilllllllllllll Page 96 ' - - ,A V g, , .- WK---.-MJ-g ,-9,1-- iii' --'vviud -A in--A-- -.i Y 2'-5 4 Vu, ' '- 'X..-ff ' .

CUNNINGHAM - HITE ROBERT CUNNINGHAM Bob plays back-guard and is one of FRED BOWEN Fred Bowen jumped center this year. He has been one of our most valuable men, for besides getting the tip-off in almost every game, he has helped to pile up the score against the opponents. This is his second and last year on the varsity. DAVID CUNNINGHAM the best players on the team. He can be depended upon to stop the oppo- nents from scoring, to get the ball off the back-board and send it down to our basket. We expect great things from him in the future. THOMAS HITE 5 Although Dave is a Senior, this is Tommy played in a number of the the first year he has come out for the games this year and has shown his- varsity.

His work with Bob proved to be air-tight many times, Eddie played hard all year and his occasional long shots from the center of the floor helped pile up the scores. The team will need him next year. HERBERT CASS Herbert was one of the best and fast- est men on the team. He played for- ward and scored one hundred forty points this season. His characteristic dribbling down to the basket and his many shots baffled the opponents. He, too, leaves us this year. KING CHRISMAN GEORGE KING Bus played ln,a number of the games this year. He was a fast player and could be depended upon to fight when he was sent into a game. This was his first and last year on the varsity, and we'll miss him next year. GARTH CHRISMAN This was Garth's first year in high school and he made the varsity. Though he played in few games, he showed his metal and we are looking forward to his work on the team in the future. Page 99 CROTHERS, MCDANIEL, BRYAN, MOORE, REX HIGH LIGHTS OF THE SEASON A great deal of credit is due to the Scarlet and Greens this year, for the show- ing they have made against older and more experienced teams. Except for Bowen and Cass who played last year, the men were practically new at the game. At the first of the season, Kenneth Wertz played. Then later he left, and the lineup was changed. Dave Cunningham and Cass played forwardg Bowen played centerg and Bob Cunningham and Shearer were guards. The first home game was a real victory for the boys. We started to pile up the score in the beginning and our lead was never threatened. The score was 36-22. We again defeated Wawaka C32-175 when we returned their game. Though the first half was very close, after that, our boys buckled down and ran the score up on them. The Waterloo game here was fast, hard, and rough, and when the whistle blew, we were on top. A final rally of Waterloo's made the score a close one, 133-303 but we were several more points ahead most of the time. When Cromwell came here We seemed to be in a slump for some reason or other, but We out-played them by winning, 18-13. When we went to Nappanee, one of the best games of the season took place. Nappanee played twenty-four men during the game and wore our team out. At the end of the half, We were six points in the lead, but again Nappanee sent in new players and gained on us then. We disappointed Albion when we defeated them here. The game was fast from start to finish, but we were ahead in the end. This is the first time Ligonier has beaten Albion in four years. In the tournament we played LaOtto. Our team played hard and had good teamwork, but it seemed that We just c0uldn't hit the basket, while LaOtto was red hot on longs. By having two squads practice all year, Coach Emerson has plenty of men who will be good players on the team in the future. Many have already proved their metal in the few times they have played. Page 100 XX XX i A great deal of credit is due to Mr. Emer- son, our coach. He had practically a new s,...,.1fa-in Q- 11 3 54- gg x 'QT 'f'!, U team, for only two of the boys played this year that did last. He has always encour- aged the meng always has smiled and patted each man on the back, and put the old fight into them when they entered the games. WIN COACH EMERSON BIG TEN TOURNEY At the end of the season, Coach Emerson divided the two boys' squads into five groups that took the names of Big Ten Conference teams. They were coached by boys who had played their last year on the varsity. After ten games had been played, the tournament ended in a tie between Illinois and Michigan , each team having won three out of the four games it played. At the end, an award was given to the one having the best mental at- titude during the tournament. Forrest Slabaugh received this prize, which was a small gold basket ball. This tournament gave all the boys who had come out for basket ball this year an opportunity to play in games. It also gave the boys who were coaches some valuable experience. It was of great interest to the other students in high school as well as to the players themselves. CWS fi 1? f?51'-5 H53 Carroll was chosen yell leader this year. He led the crowd well and he'ped us to win games in this way. He has been popular and the students willingly follow him in cheering for the teams. Next year when the new gym is completed, we expect every stu- C U 7 1 1 uumm dent to come' out and cheer for L. H. S. CARROLL . SS Page 101 , ' I MOATS FRANCISCO WERTHEIMER DEARDORFF MARY MOATS This is the third year Mary has played forward for old L. H. S. She was captain this year, and led us through many crises, to victory. She is known for her long shots and as a real scrapper. During the games this year, she scored two hundred thirty- six points. BABE FRANCISCO This is Babe's second and last year as varsity guard. Many games depended on the guarding, and she nearly always sent the ball sailing down the floor to our own basket. We will find her place hard to fill. JANE WERTHEIMER Jane has played her second year as jumping center on the varsity. She can be depended upon to get the tip- off and hurry the ball down to the Ligonier basket. Her work with Screeny in the center is a strong point of the team. CORINNE DEARDORFF Screeny was one of our hardest scrappers this year. As side center, she took the ball down to the forwards without fail. She is a fast player and we expect her to be even stronger next year when she plays for L. H. S.

N Wllllllllllll HITE SNYDER MARGARET HITE Hite is a strong guard and we've depended upon her all year. She has kept her opponent from scoring many times. This is her second year as guard on the varsity and again we will be able to rely upon her next year. . MARIE SNYDER Marie played forward as running mate with Mary. Their team work and well known bounce-passes baffled many guards. Marie's aim for the bas- ket is sure, as is shown by her total of one hundred nineteen points that she made this year. gl 5 'Ml flu SELIG SHROCK HORTENSE SELIG Hortie played forward, interchang- ing with Ma1'ie. She is a fast player and her shots are accurate. Her work in the center in several games shows her ability to adjust herself to any position. This is Hortie's second year on the team and she still has another to play. ROSE SCHROCK Rose played in many games this year and has proved herself a strong asset. to the team. Her strong guarding has helped us to win many games. As she is just a Sophomore, we have just cause to expect great things from her. L!

We scored four hundred thirty-one points to our opponents' two E hundred three. ' After the first game of the season, Coach Palin saw fit to change the lineup, 1 and we kept the new one the remainder of the season. This was: Moats and Sny- ' 1 der, forwards, Wertheimer, jumping centerg Deardorff, side center, and Hite and I Francisco, guards. Selig and Shrock interchanged with the forwards and guards 1 during the games. f Though we lost our first game to Topeka, we redeemed ourselves when we met 1 them on our own floor. They came over, set to win, but .we were ready for them. U The game was one of the fastest ever played on the LlgOIl16l' floor. Ligonier ended on top, the score being 19-23. One of the roughest games of the season took place when Waterloo came here. . They played a different kind of basket ball than Ligonier, but nevertheless we were ahead all the way through. 19-9 was the score at the end. C Wolf Lake here afforded us our second defeat. The game was a hard one and S both teams played their best. Ligonier was ahead until the last quarterg then our 1 resistance gave out. We weren't prepared for a final spurt which won the victory U for them The score stood 31-35 I - owever, revenge is very sweet, and we had a taste of it when we. returned the I Wolf Lake game. Again, we were ahead the first three quarters, then just as before, , 9 Wolf Lake rallied, and got in the lead. But this time-we were prepared for them. 5, g We too had saved our strength until the end, and when at last the gun sounded, it decalred Ligonier the victor. 1 E During the rest of the season, the team seemed to be in a slump. Though we R tried hard to play, the interest waned. At Waterloo, we Upepped up and really 1 E played, but in the other games we merely managed to win. At Bremen, the tie was X a due to the long ride over, and to their large floor. At LaGrange, we lost because E - we couldn't recover from that horrid slump. Our subs worked faithfully, all year. They could have taken the place of any regular in a game. A first team is as ood U , l S S X as its practice team, which proves that they deserve a great deal of credit.

S. base ball team of '27 launched its career by playing To- peka the first game. The boys played hard but lost. April sixth, we played Cromwell here, and defeated them. Mr. Emerson, the coach, has worked out the following line-up: Bryan, fielder, catcher, second base, Bickel, fielder, Hite, fielder, Moore, fielder, Chrisman, third base, shortstop, second base, Rex, pitcher, shortstop, , U Shearer, first base, pitcher, McDaniel, second base, shortstop, pitcher, U Draper, catcher, second base, King, first base, second base, fielder, Cun- ningham, first base, fielder, Buchtel, fielder, third base. . The members of the team are nearly all new men this year. . We still have the biggest part of the schedule before us, but with u continud hard practice, while the team is steadily improving, we expect 5 the boys to make a great record for old L. H. S. this spring.

S. realize the value that can be derived from Physical Education is shown by the fact that gym classes now meet reg- ularly twice a week under the supervision of Miss Palin. Although this course is compulsory for Freshmen girls only, most of the.girls of the upper classes are also enrolled. Aside from the real benefits which one obtains from this sort of work the girls declare that it is actually fun. This sort of play stimulates the mind and brings about quicker and more accurate thinking. Miss Palin also strives, by exercises, to correct physical defects. The girls are instructed in marching tactics, exercises and games of all sorts, besides basket ball, volley ball, base ball, and other sports. The girls who wish to gain points toward an L sweater meet on Tuesday and Thursday nights after school, under the supervision of Miss Palin for further instruction in these sports. The girls who received sweaters this year were: Opal' Weeks, Donelda Francisco, Virginia Gentry, and Nadine Deardorff. At the end of the basket ball season class teams were chosen and the inter-class tournament played. These inter-class games are always of great interest to the rest of the school as well as to the girls themselves. Only three inter-class basket ball games were played this year. The Freshmen and Sophomores played the first game which ended with the score 9-2 in favor of the Sophs. The second game, between the Juniors and Seniors, was scheduled to be the best game of the tuornament. The Juniors firmly resolved to give the dignified Seniors a hard fight, and they did. The result was a victory for the Juniors with a score of 47-13. The following evening the Juniors and Sophs met to decide the champion ship. This game also was a victory for the Juniors. The score was 45-5 J anis Goslin .2 Page 108 Q I lllllillllllllllll V ' I KJ-..-s '2,-vvxftf Q - - QA -- U X wx X o 5 T W q J un ENIOR AEHM X , K Om.

The average age at which pupils are ready for entrance into the High School is about fourteen years. Young people of this age, with their un- developed mental powers are not equipped to enter the race of life. A High School in our public school system is a most essential factor in the training of our young people for good citizenship, and to aid them in the attainment of success in their chosen field of Work. A careful survey of the list of men and Women who make up this Alumni will show how well the people of Ligonier have responded to the appeal of those interested in a High School education. If the record of this department shows discrepancies, the kind indul- gence of our friends, the public, is craved, for it has been impossible, in some cases, for the data to be entirely accurate. What we have gleaned from the archives of the past is hereby most cheerfully submitted, and we hope that it may prove of interest to all those who claim L. H. S. as their beloved Alma Mater.

However we feel proud of our good friends who have left the sacred precincts of our little city and have attained to success, and prominence, and influence in other communities. The building, in which our present High School functions, was com- pleted in 1876, and the first class to be graduated was in 1879. I Dr. I. O. Buchtel of this first class is a homeopathic physician of Auburn, Indiana. Kate E. Brown, fMrs. George T. Sweetnamj also of '79 lives in Su- perior, Wisconsin. The father of Miss Brown, Mr. W. .A. Brown, was U one of the pioneer business men of this city, coming here from Baltimore. The homestead established by him on the corner of Main and Cavin Streets is now occupied by Mr. G. W. Brown, a son, who succeeded his father in 5 business. 5 Alena L. Knisely '79 fMrs. Frank Zimmermanj chose to cast in her S lot with the good people of Ligonier, and has spent her entire life here. : Her parents removed to Toledo, where her father, Mr. Isaac Knisely, be- 2 came president of the Northern National Bank. Francis, her son, grad- : uated in 1918. E Frank O. Gerber, '79, married Olive Treash '82, With their son, , E Arthur '10 and Estelle '13, the cycle is complete, all the members of the E family belonging to the same Alumni. L' Delta Gerber '79, sister to Frank, and Mrs. Harry Howenstein since E E ! 2 ' If ' 1 ui Page 117 Page 118 5--W-'TM' 1-D il - her marriage, has lived and raised a most estimable family in Chicago. She journeys back frequently to visit her relatives and friends. Theresa Strauss '79, fMrs. Abe Goldsmith! was a member of one of Ligonier's oldest and most highly respected families. Her father, Jacob Strauss, was the founder of the Citizen's Bank and her husband was one of the active members of the Strauss Bros. Co. Mrs. Goldsmith was for many years a leader in Ligonier's social life. She was noted also for her many benevolences which endeared her to the hearts of many of our people. Of the class of '80 there is Sara B. Woodworth, the valedictorian. Now, as Mrs. Elmer Culver, she resides in Elkhart. Mrs. Culver still retains her membership in our local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, so her ties with us are not entirely severed. Then in '80 is Wilbur Wood. We might say in passing that Mr. Wood left us at first to engage in business in Vermont. If this is the correct in- formation about Mr. Wood, he lived in Vermont to be near the granite quarries, as he was engaged in the building of monuments. He later re- turned to Ligonier and became our leading manufacturer. He makes re- frigerators that go to all parts of the world. Preservation seems to be Mr. Wood's first law. Preservation of your food in one of our refrigera- tors, postpones the preservation of your memory in granite, if he wishes a slogan from us. But we must hurry along. Our allotment of space for these annals is limited by Wertz and Brode, the higher-ups, and we want to say all the nice things we can about our Alumni. James D. Casey '80, is another of our Alumni who lives in Auburn. He sells automobile accessories. He and his family visit here often and he l l seems to retain a warm spot in his affections for the Old Home Town. Our fellow townsman, who has lived here all- of his lifetime, and who has ever been one of the best boosters for Ligonier's interests, meaning Mr. John H. Green, '81, read a paper at his graduation entit'e:l, The Folly of Trying to Please Everyone. It is his daughter Helen '03 who was the U first daughter of an alumnus to be graduated from this High School. There will be many eyes that scan these pages that will linger foving- ly on the name of Jessie Decker. Her valuable services in our schools ex- 5 tended over many years and her unfailing kindness and helpfulness will E long be remembered by those who received her instruction. g Warren J. Moore '82, enjoys the distinction of belonging to this alumni : along with four of his children, Omar '08, Leonard '09, Cora '10, John '20. I Leslie C. Bothwell, supervisor of Manual Training in the schools of I Alhambra, Calif., Ed. P. Eagles, engaged in the lumber and coal business 5 at Albiong Grant Himes, owner of a news store in Goshen, Anna Shobe, E CMrs. Chas. Greenl of Jamestown, N. Y.g F. E. Poyser, a real estate man gf.: of Goshen, are some of the members of the class of '83. l : Then there's Fred E. Weir '83, our great Winchester man, who read a E E E M A 3 ag Page 119 Wk paper at his commencement entitled The Value of a Business Education Mr. Weir's success as a business man in the O. H. T. is an evidence that this was not mere preachment but practice as well. When Edmund O'Conner and Frances Sack graduated all by their own -f-we-,fx QA' YT W if WV 'JH 3 ..r.V---..- - M -..--.-.Q',XQ:-Nq',,v: X ' ' lf ' ' H 1 I ' cj two selves in '84, Miss Sack read an essay with the fascinating title, Har- mony of Nature , and Mr. O'Conner read one entitled Honor and Rep- utation. After Chas. Keehn's graduation from L. H. S. in '85, he became a Doc- tor of Dental Surgery. Many times have the reluctant feet of his class- mates and friends carried them up to the Chamber of Horror , which he established in the O. H. T., where he has tried to convince them that cruelty really means kindness. Lula Maud Green '86, now Mrs. Will Inks, mother also of Dan Inks, '26, as a freshman in the L. H. S. scored 91? in deportment, and 92? in scholarship. Can you beat that Danny? Then there was Minnie Gerber '87, sister of the Gerbers, Delta and Frank of '79. She is our Mrs. Harry Green now and mother of Dwight Green '15. In our book of ancient history, her name appears on the Honor Roll, as a freshman, for perfect attendance and she has a score of 957, in deportment and 94 W1 in scholarship. May Watchorn '87, CMrs. P. J. Carneyb has two children who are also Alumni members, Stuart '15 and Cecelia '19. Then there's J im , a mem- ber of the class of '28. Charles Joray of this same class of '87, is efficiency engineer for the National Carbon Co. of Toronto, Canada. Miss Alice Vallance '88, principal of our departmental school, holds the affection and esteem of a large number of the members of this Alumni. She is a most wonderful pilot from the grades into the High School. It is an honor indeed to make mention of her excellent work in our school. The many friends of Frank Eldred '93 will miss his yearly visits to Ligonier, with his charming family. Mr. Eldred is a chemist, with the Lilly laboratories of Indianapolis, before his removal to New York. Terry King '94, with the National Carbon Co., Cleveland, Ohio, Kate King '95 fMrs. John Smithb now of Portland, Oregong Buel King '97 of Sugar City, Colorado, are three of Ligonier's former honored young people. Gola Baker '99, now Mrs. L. M. Chapman of Hibbing, Minnesota, was identifed with the musical interest of Ligonier. Her lovely voice was very l U much appreciated by her Ligonier friends. 1 Will Cavin '99, whose ancestors were the founders of Ligonier, is the K President and principal stockholder in a company owning a chain of lum- l I ber yards. Mr. Cavin resides in Sturgis, Michigan. He and Mrs. Cavin l 'K spend much time in travel. They have visited many countries of Europe l and the Orient, and spent the present winter on the Hawaiian Islands and in California.

Away back, it must have been the first year of school for Eddie, is a record of perfect attendance, and of 100 W in scholarship. My! Wasn't Eddie a good boy! Efiie Kinnison '99, now Mrs. J. Shivell of Tonapah, Nevada, writes to her father, Mr. James Kinnison, some most interesting news of the newly discovered gold mine at Wepah. Tonapah is twenty-five miles from Wepah. Mrs. Shivell writes that people are rushing in by the hundreds daily, and that a tent city has been established at Wepah. History surely repeats itself. Remember about '48! But we must hurry along and condense this interesting subjectmatter. Our limit of space for this history must not be exceeded, else we call down upon our innocent think dome the wrath of the editor in chief, than which nothing could be more terrible. In all our research after facts concerning the personnel of this alumni, we find not a single name that does not stand in some way for something worth while. It would indeed require many year books to say all the fine things we have found concerning this alumni. Here is Allen Palmer '03, whose father was for so many years the Superintendent of our schools. After qualifying as a Civil Engineer at Purdue, Mr. Palmer was sent by the U. S. government to the Philippines where he still resides. Karl Sisterhen '03, holds a very responsible position with the Central Georgia Railway Co. and resides in Savannah. His fine tenor voice is wafted back to us occasionally through an Atlanta Broadcasting station. Wilbur Thompson '94, 'Martha Thompson '02, James Thompson '05, Leland Thompson '11, composing the family of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Thomp- son, are all members of the L. H. S. Alumni. Seeley Brown '05, lives in Kansas City where he holds a position with the Standard Oil interests. Mr. Brown started with this concern shortly after leaving college and has remained with them, winning through his exceptional ability many desirable promotions. James Thompson '06, lives at White Plains, New York. He is con- nected with the McGraw Hill Book Co. We picked. up some information in a former L. H. S. periodical con- cerning an Atheltic Association of 1907-8, with the following officers: President, Howard Parshall, 09, Secretary, Gug Long 09, Treasurer, Arthur Gerber '10, Track Captain, Guy Henkel '08, Base Ball Captain, Herman Sack '09. Field Day sports at Albion on May 27, '08 looms large with the name of Henkel Shot put, won by Henkel, Running broad jump, won by Henkel, Running high jump, won by Henkel, pole vault, won by Henkel Your humble Alumni editor muses, who is this Henkel ?

Henkel married a classmate, Edna Shearer, a most noble thing for him to do, providing she was willing, and they live in Milwaukee. Guess we've given Henkel more than his share of space in this record, ip 43 - aaa..- but we take occasional spells of rambling about members of this Alumni, and don't know when to stop. Guess we'll leave it just as it is though and if the aforesaid W. and B. combine don't blue pencil it, here it will remain. Arthur Gerber '10, is with the Federal Phosphorus Co. of Armiston, Alabama. Olive Sisterhen, also of '10 is a Red Cross Nurse, with head- quarters in South Bend. She may be called out into service to go to China to assist in caring for foolish Americans who failed to take the warning to remove to a zone of safety while the removing was safe and sane. Herbert Brown '11 of Bowton, is with the Heywood, Wakefield Fur- niture Manufacturing Co. Thus we see how our little old L. H. S. has contributed real men and women to many other localities where they are attaining success. We'll just have to devote a wee bit of space to our versatile Herman Sack '09, who has remained in the O. H. T. Herman is a most clever boy. It makes no difference whether he is wielding the goose to put the cor- rect crease in your trousers, playing a Beethoven Sonata on the piano, ren- dering jazz as no one else can, playing shortstop on the baseball field, Herman is equally at home in all these diverse occupations. Then there is Leland Calbeck, '19, our Honorable Mayor. Francis Zimmerman '18 made an extensive trip through Europe on foot , after completing his education at Leland Stanford and Chicago Universities. It is about time to take another peep into our ancient history. Here is Abie Mier, Cthat must be our dignified bankerj not an alumnus, but see, he is the father of Everett '18 and Durbin '22 who joined our ranks. Abie, so the history says, became a-they call them Freshies now, in the year-my, but these figures are dim. The printer's fault of course. Guess we can't tell the year. Everett has only very recently shaken the dust of the O. H. T. off his number tens and has established himself in business in Milwaukee, where rumor has it he is making good. Of course he would. Everett is just that kind of a boy Those Green boys, William '06 and George '14 proprietors of the Wil- low Springs Dairy, are the distributors of our milk Tom Jeanerett '17, Helen Jeanerett '14, together with their mother Ada Spriegel Jeanerett '85, and their father the late Ed Jeanerett '85 comprise another family group belonging to the L. H. S. Alumni And we must not forget the Weir family. There's Fred Weir '83 the '25, their sons. It Page 123 C Ph D FF -Q 5' fb '1 Gi CD 5 E. CD '-5' w 2 . D- 2 SB.

' l 4. gb--f-ull f ' L f 'V ' f if:-QQN 6 ,.,.54s2 1 Z Olin Stansbury is another very distinguished member of our Alumni. He is with Marshall Field and Co. in their advertising department. When wx NX you see a full page advertisement for the Marshall Field Store in the lead- W ing Chicago pap-ers, and note the tasteful arrangement and the cfeverness l - of the context, just say to yourself, That's Olin's work, and he's one of I1 our boys. The Hutchinson children are all members of the L. H. S. Alumni. They are Hugh '00, Lela '03, Martha '09, and Curtis '09. Martha is one of our most accomplished musicians. Her finished organ playing and her lovely voice have given much pleasure to Ligonier audiences. She and Lela, who also possesses a beautiful voice are heard very often over the radio. Laura Eldred '06, who at one time was supervisor of music and art in our schools, is married to Mr. Jack Towerton, a British subject, and they live at Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which is many many miles from Ligo- nier. Mr. Towerton, as a British soldier under General Allensby, saw service in the World War, in the far East, in Mesopotamia. Four members of the Loeser family, are graduates of L. H. S. They are Hubert '09, a successful business man of Fort Wayneg Hattie '07, CMrs. Louis Hymanjg Rosalie '18, pipe organist at the Jewish Synagogue, and Milton '15 with Iron Products Co. Arlo Shearer fbetter known as Johnnyj '09, is assistant secretary of the Farmers and Merchants Trust Co. Johnny is an expert accountant and is also a brother to Edna '08, who, as I have already toid you, is Mrs. Guy Henkel. We just can't seem to get away from those Henkels. Well, We have touched upon only a few of the high spots in our ancient and medieval history. There are many other interesting people of these periods in our class history that are deserving of mention in these annals, but there is still that awful bugbear, the W. and B. wraith hovering over our poor, innocent, empty head, so we must hurry on to the moderns. U There is Catharine Baum '21 who is supervisor of Dramatic Art in the U Gary Public Schools. Rose Selig '21 who holds an excellent position with Mandel Bros. in Chicago, as professional buyer. Rose qualified as a teacher of music and art, even securing her license, but changed to the business .- life instead. 'J E. Allison Bolitho '21 fMrs. Kenneth L. Heatonl taught for a year E in L. H. S. after completing her four years course at I.. U. Kathryn '22, : her sister, followed in her footstep at I. U. and is with us this year as a : member of our faculty. . : Those Speckeen twins, Maye and Faye, 22 have both given up busi- 5 ness life to become housewives and home makers. E Here's our talented musician, William Cochran '23, whose mother as E Eva Lantz graduated in '96, engaged in the automobile business in the E O. H. T. What's more he is wed to Mildred Dewey of '22. E E ! 2 1 , . 3 an Page 12.4 P Helen Summers '11, Elizabeth Hire '18, Hannah Kline '23, Helen Smith 'ff' MX '23, are employed as teachers in the grammar grades of our schools. M Our genial friend Alfred J. Ackerman '21 is with the Strauss Bros. Co. in Detroit. Alfred is always so pleasant to his friends, and seems so E genuinely glad to see every one he knows in the O. H. T. when he makes his visits here that we are always glad he comes. We found this interesting bit of news in a former publication: Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Holloway are entertaining a tiny guest at their home in Piqua, Ohio, Martha Elizabeth Holloway, by name. That's our own Martha of '25. She is now pursuing her musical studies at the Bush Con- servator in Chicago. i I Do you remember who was Yell Leader for the girls' basket ball in '23? Some one called her lithe and graceful, and surely no two more i fitting adjectives Cdon't adjectives sound scholarly 'IJ could have. been chosen for her. You know of course that we are referring to Maryhelen ' Mentzer '24. These are the three Helens of '24, Kelley, who is attending school at Western, Dunkle, of Ohio Wesleyan, and Wills at Home in Ligonier. Then the Esthers of '24, Keasey, of the Ligonier Telephone Co., and Parker at Indiana Central College in Indianapolis. Likewise were the two Dorothys, Emmitt and Knowls, the latter now 1 Mrs. Ben Conrad. Chauncey L. Kaufman '22, is located at Bellefontaine, Ohio, where he is chief service station salesman for the Roxana Petroleum Corporation. Many of our young people are graduates of the commercial depart- . ment of our school. Some are filling positions with reliable business firms and are making good. Having no other business training except that re- ceived in L. H. S. refiects great credit on our institution. Many of the boys who are members of this alumni gave themselves in service to our country in the World War. We would have been glad to U have compiled a complete list comprising the names and the especial ac- tivities of each one who served. The space allotted to us would not per- . mit of it however. We leave this honor to some later editor of this sectiong 5 for those of the future who turn back the records of the L. H. S. would feel I v justly proud of the boys who went at the country's call. E : We are at last compelled, at the point of the bayonet, to close this : 2, narrative. We are leaving the fie'd reluctantly. It has been a pleasure to 2 - edit this department, and we pass it on for you to peruse with, we hope, 2 E an equal amount of pleasure. Our final admonition is, keep a loyal and 5 E loving heart for old L. H. S.

Of course James Corbert, or Red Jim, as he was called, because he had bright red hair, was not the only one to get off the train, because Hillsdale was the home of State University -the largest University in the state, and it was the beginning of the fall term. This was Jlm's first appearance at State University and he was somewhat be- 3 'wT.3'i ' - QLD ij segmsw- wlldered although he had attended prep school for two years. Jim was the only member of a rather poor family which had once been rich. His father, who had died when Jim was a Junior in high school, had made a last wish that Jim might grow to manhood, attend State University, and make the foot- ball team: because there, many years before, his father had been footb'all captain and a star player. Now it was not strange that his father wished Jim would grow up, because the boy was now nineteen years old, only five foot two, and weighed only one hundred thirty pounds. But lt was true that in spite of his size Jim had been captain and star quarter back of his team in high school and had carried that name through prep school. Here at State it would be different, though with four thousand students Jim wondered if his size would hold him back. He was afraid that it would. Due to some bad speculation by his mother, the family had lost practically all of the money that had been left them by Jim's father. But Jim was going on. There had b'een enough money to put him through prep school and now he was intending to work his way through State University. Most fellows with red hair are fighters and Red Jim held up the standard. It was his never dying fight that. had carried his teams through to two championships. It was due to this fight that he was now at State carrying out his father's la-st wishes to make the football team. But would this fight carry him to a place on this great State team as it had done in high school and in prep school? Jim had lain awake many nights wondering if some day he might not be a member of that great Scarlet team: one of those Scarlet warriors who had twice won the World's Championship. He wondered if he might not some day be playing before that vast crowd of gayly shouting people: and he wondered if some day that great cheering section of State might not yell his name Red Jim . He wondered if he some day he would be way down there in that huge stadium and hear the bands playing for the team, his team. It was at one of these times that he determined that he would be there fighting or die trying. Jim, because of his kind and humorous personality, was quickly pledged to the best fraternity on the campus. Here he worked at the house, waiting on table and doing other work to make his way through the school. When he told the boys in the fraternity that he was going out for freshmen foot- ball, they laughed at him and thought that he was a fool or crazy or something to that effect. When the freshmen coach, Buck Jones, saw him he too, laughed. When his name was asked he said, James Corbert , but not one had ever heard him or ever suspected that he was the son of the great Corbert who was the greatest football star that State had ever known. ' When the time came for the freshmen squad to be weeded out, the poor players U were dropped and the good players were allowed to go on. Jim was put at quarter back on the fourth team and there he stayed the whole season through, apparently making no headway at all. In freshmen games although he had showed some mighty headwork, he sat on the bench every game and consequently did not win his numeral. 1 Of course Jim was discouraged but not half so much as two years, later. : In his sophomore year he had made the varsity squad, more as a flll in than U anything else. The varsity coach Big Bill Johnson who always liked beef, never S gave him a chance, but because the freshman coach, Buck Jones had made the U flrst assistant coach and backfleld coach, Jim had some coaching. U In his Junior year it was the same way, he always suited up with the squad S when the State played at home but he had never been taken on a trip, and Big - Bill would have quit, probably, before putting him in a game. U But still Jlm kept on, hardly ever missing a practice, never playing in a game, 5 having no Qfriends except his frat brothers and the assistant coach. He was just E hoping and fighting for a chance to get in a game. l 3 His senior year came around and he was again out for practice. Jim was now : twenty-three years old, weighed only several pounds more and was hardly any larger 3 than when he was in high school. He had given up all hope now of ever winning ' : his S and he was just sticking, still flghtlng to show his Dad that he was not a '- qultter. He thought that somehow his Dad would know. : - 2 5 1 E. I - ' 3 J ui Page 139 ,. x XXX The games on the schedule went on. There was a very good team at State this year and they expected again to win the championship, that is, if they could just beat Hanover, their old rival. There was little need for Jimg he was fourth substi- tute quarter back and it is very unusual for a quarter back ever to get hurt. In fact there had been only one substitution for quarter back the whole year. The following Saturday was the great Hanover game. It made little difference to State if they lost every other game on the schedule, if they could only win the Z W! fly U Hanover game. The spirit for this game was intense. Bonflres were built and pep meetings were held on the campus every night the week of the game. School was almost forgotteng all the talk was win! Beat Hanover! The player's names were cheered long into the night, but the name of Red Jim was never heard to vibrate from the throats of this mighty throng of State r ers. Dot It was well known by the coaches of State and Hanover that the team with the most strategy or probably the team with the greatest trick play would win. It was thought by most of the sport writers that the game would end in a nothing to nothing tie or would at least be won by one touchdown. For this reason the coaches were working on trick plays and Buck Jones had something up his sleeve. The time for the game arrivedg never had there been such a crowd to witness a game in the State stadium. Every seat had been taken and some extra bleachers had been built. The State students in the form of the letter S and their band clad in yellow and black, were on the north side of the field, while the Hanover section was directly across the field. The stands were filled early and the bands went through formations while the students yelled until the teams came on the field. Then there was almost a riot, if you could judge from the noise. The teams did not come on the field until late so that there was little warming up practice and the game was soon called. As usual Red Jim held the seat on the bench. He knew that this was the last time that he could ever sit on that b'ench and be near that fieldg he was discouraged, down-hearted, almost broken, but he knew that he had gone down fighting and that he could never be called a quitter, because, he had tried. He knew that his father would be proud of his son for fighting and trying. The game wore on, a quarter, half, and then another quarter went byg forty- five minutes of playing and neither side had gained any ground. It looked as though the sport writers prediction would be right. Substitutions were made, many of them, but never was Red Jim looked at. Shortly after the start of the last quarter the star quarter back was hurt and had to be carried off the field. The first substitute was sent in and he played a re- markable game. But due to his poor judgment he called for an end run on fourth down to make the required one yard. Here he should have punted because State failed to gain and lost the ball on their own twenty yard line. It was the first down for Hanover with only twenty yards to go for a touchdown and ten minutes to play. Hanover tried two line bucks which failed to gain and then tried one end run. This too failed and it was fourth down and twenty yards to go. The captain of the Hanover team called time and they. talked it over. Finally play was resumed and it was seen that Hanover was going to try for a goal kick and if successful would count three points and would undoubtedly win the game because of the short time to play. The State rooters yelled madly to Hold 'em State , while the Hanover rooters yelled Touchdown! Touchdown! The Hanover half back dropped back, prepar- ing to kick. The Hanover quarter yelled the signals and the ball was snappedg but before the half back could kick, State's end blocked the kick and recovered the fum ble. The next moment he was seen racing down the field toward Hanover's goal with no one except Hanover's safety man between him and a touchdown for State The two men neared each other: it was simply a question of which was the faster man. The men came togetherg the State man made a beautiful pivot but the Han over fellow was too fast for him and down they went together forty yards to a touchdown and five minutes to play. But during the excitement of State's recovery, no one had noticed that one man lay still away down the field was the quarter back who had been hurt in play. The trainer rushed out and it was found that the man had a broken ankle. Big Bill and Buck held a conference. Uusually Big Bill did not ask any advice but this time Buck made him listen. The two men talked in a low tone and looked over the substitutes on the bench. Red Jim wondered what they were gig, Q lllllllllllllllllllllllll The State man had been downed on Hanover's forty yard line. That meant , . It 2 3 Page 1.40 5 I i .3 1.9, u? Q l saying. He never suspected that they were talking of him that he might get a chance to get ln this great game. There was one substitute ahead of him and so he sat 'X there in his usual unconcerned manner. A moment later, though, he jumped as he heard Buck call his name. Then he MX stood motionless, his head pounding as he heard Buck say, Son, I believe in you. I believe that you can turn the trick. Big Bill doesn't but I have persuaded him to let you ln. Now get in there and flght, and remember all of those plays we have planned but which we have never used. Fight, boy, fight! Jim did not reply: he couldn't: his tongue failed him, but he ran to the referee and reported. He heard the yell for the quarter back who had been hurt and the faint yell for himself because nobody believed that he, Red Jim , mere one hundred and thirty pound boy, could do anything against a team that averaged one hundred and seventy. Jim took his place behind the center, preparing to call signals. His voice quiv- ered a little as he called with his hands to his mouth to make himself heard and he thought in that one fleet second of the four years that he had fought for this one small chance. He thought of hls Dad and he said, I must, I will do it . 49-103-64 , he called. Kick 82-74 . The ball was snapped, and it was a , fake forward pass, the end taking it on a cross buck. This gained twelve yards and a flrst down. Twenty yards to go and four minutes left. Again he called, H108-72-48. Kick 84-90 , And again the ball was snapped this time to the fleld back who made a beautiful long high pass to State end far down the field. This gained twenty-three yards and left five yards to go and two minutes in which to make that flve yards. Jim called for three line bucks in quick succession because the time was short. Each plunge gained one yard and that left two yards to go. Jim, acting as captain, called time. The State team huddled in a deep conversation, with Jim in the center. The stands had almost a dead stillness. They wondered, those rooters up in the stands, if Hanover would hold, b'ecause a team is its strongest when pressed to its goal line. Could the State team do it? Jim asked the timekeeper the time. He said, Thirty seconds . ' The teams lined up and it looked like a line buck but Buck on the side lines knew that Jim has planned something. The referee blew his whistle, starting play and Jim started to call signals. Jim was directly behind the center and the large half backs were close to him, on each side, while the fullback was directly behind him. U49-82-64 , Jim said, and the ball was snapped. The sound of leather and crushing bones was heard, then a body was seen to go high up, over and above the players, clear over the goal line. That body was Red Jim with the ball clutched in his arms. He had been thrown by the other three backs, completely to the surprise gf the Hanover team: and even as Jim was in the air the gun cracked victory for tate. That night the name of Red Jim ran long into the air and that game will al- ways be remembered as one of the greatest victories ever made by a State eleven. Today, if you enter the trophy room of State University, you will see the picture of Red Jlm side by side with his father's as one of the greatest players State has ever known. Today, too, if you should visit a certain town in California and enter a certain U large building you will see a sign, James Corbert, President, and in that room sits a small but mlghty man, a flghter, and on the wall hangs a large letter US . -JACK DUNNING DRAPER WHAT IF- - .

In the dim dark past, when the mighty Elkhart River was a mere mountain N stream, a notorious rooster lived. The most remarkable thing about this bird was that he possessed the marvelous ability to walk on stilts. This story was handed down from my great great grandfather to my great grandfather, from my great grandfather to my grandfather, from my grandfather n to my father, and from my father to myself. I never tired of hearing the wonder- 1 ful story of this rooster, and always wished to possess just suchl a freak. Quite by accident one day, I found a baby chick, and took it home and nursed it to roosterhood, all the while teaching it to walk on upright sticks of wood. I tlrst tried toothpicks, but they were too frail. Then I tried matches with little ledges built on them for his feet, and these worked fairly well. It was quite cunning to see Oscar, as I had named the chick, lean the matches against the wall, hop up, tuck the match heads under his wings, and saunter lazily away. Oscar outgrew the matches and I fitted out skewers. These served for a while, but soon I began to cut the stilts out of hard wood. The size of each pair grew, and soon Oscar was walking ten feet above the ground. My pet's fame grew and grew, and great crowds of people flocked daily to see him, until it resulted that the privacy of my household was being infringed upon, so I placed Oscar in Jingling Brothers Circus. The mere knowledge that this b'ird was to perform brought unheard-of crowds of people to the tent, and it was during the time that the rooster was with them that Jingling Brothers gained their great fame. During each winter, Oscar trained diligently, and he insisted that I have a gymnasium constructed for his own private use. He became quite sophisticated and one day came to me and said that it was necessary that he have his own private car, so he got it. While out riding in his new car, he ran over a chicken. He immediately stopped the car and took the poor thing in and brought her home, and insisted that she stay there until she regained her normal health. During her convalescence, a mutual love sprang rapidly up between them, and soon Oscar came to me and said that he intended to marry Josephine. I tried to be agreeably surprised and tlnally consented, and the marriage took place im- medlately. Oscar taught Josephine to walk with him on his stilts, and she was very apt. It brought joy to my poor old heart to see the two, walking along with their wings around each other, as any newly married pair might do. Oscar conceived the idea of having Josephine do a stunt lwith him in the cir- cus. During that winter, they practiced very hard, and would not allow me to come near the gym where they held their rehearsals, as they wished to surprise me. Oscar came to me and said in his big, bold voice that he thought that ivory stilts would be very nice because the wooden ones looked so cheap, so I ordered them immediately. ' Oscar worked with Jingling Brothers for several years, and soon started a cir- U cus of his own. Meanwhile, I taught as lot of little Oscars and Josephines to follow in their father's footsteps and become famous. My roosters are now scattered all over the earth, and there is not a person on the earth or any of the other planets who has not heard of Oscar, the Great. . What's that? Oh, you want to know what became of Oscar. Well, poor thing, I I miss him so, he was performing one day and had a stroke of paralysis and died. I But I have all my little roosters to console me. U And you want to know what happened to Josephine, do you? Well, she be- : came so despondent and lonesome without Oscar that we finally killed and ate her.

I called to the sweet little cuddling fowls. Oh, how I admired them! Mother would always let me feed them because I enjoyed lt so much. All of them came running towards me with their quaint little chirp, chirp. I fondly petted the soft little things along with their mother, for she was quite as tame as they. After I kept the other barnyard fowls away from the wee ones until they had finished eating, I went into the house, hung up my coat and hat, and started play- ing with my dolls. As soon as I was in the midst of a romantic play with my dolls, my sister came over, took my favorite doll, who was the heroine of the performance, and started teasing me with it. First she started to cut off my baby's golden curls, then she made me believe it would be thrown in the junk pile, and last she stuck pins into the precious one's body. Since my disposition is not so sweet as it should be and I am very easily ans ', gered, I completely lost my temper. After picking up my playthlngs and throwing XJ them every whlchway-the most of them going in the direction of my sister-I rushed out of doors, picked up one of those adorable little yellow chickens by the feet and swung the poor helpless creature around in the air several times. But this was not enough to calm my rage so I threw it on the ground and crushed it with my foot. As soon as the tiny thing had breathed its last I realized what I had done and ran into the house crying. I would not tell anyone of the crime I had committed except my dearest pal, 7 Dad, who made me feel quite sorry for' it, b'ut who sympathized with me for having z lost my loved one. To this day I think this act the meanest thing I ever did. S --OPAL WEEKS I g NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS: an 3 Carroll--To make a deportment grade of 10105. E Sidney-To win some pretty L. H.

Will you, please? Certainly, father. What can I do for you? Well, son, here is an invitation from Mrs. Priscilla Morrison asking me to at- tend her fancy dress ball tonight at seven-thirty o'clock. She has been away for a good many years and wishes to renew our acquaintance. Send her a note and tell her that I shall not be able to come before a late hour, but I will be delighted to 5f-N-Alina I' r il? -ii alegsses r XJ come dressed as the colonial general as she requested: providing she wears the rose dress that she wore for me many years ago. Why, dad, who ls this woman, and what is she to you? How old is she and is she good-looking? One question at a time, son. Priscilla was my childhood sweetheart and at one time was very dear to me. She was, in her youthful days a very beautiful girlg and I hear that she has not changed. But never mind that. Hurry and send off that note or she will never get it in tlme. The speaker was Harry Danvers, a handsome man of about forty-flve years. He stood, very tall and erect, in his expensive made-to-fit clothing. His slightly wavy hair was streaked here and there with little patches of grey. On glance at his splen- did face gave one the impression of a very kind and gentle man. He had one child, Jimmie, a flne lad of about twenty years. Due to the death of the mother several years previous, everything that heart could wish for had been given to the son. The father lavished much devotion and money upon him. In appearance he was much the same as his father except that he was not so large. His hair was very dark and his eyes a pale blue. He was a lad that could have much fun playing a joke on someone else. Now, let's see, meditated the boy on his way to his desk to pen the note. Dad says that she is a stunning woman,or was at least. I wonder if she has a daughter? ,If dad won't be able to go until late why shou1dn't I borrow his costume and have a little fun? I know I can get back by the time he needs it. Seating himself at his desk he started the letter, but lt was much different from the one directed by the father. He sealed it and sat for some minutes completing his plans for the evening. Now, while Jimmie is rigging up his costume for the great event, let us turn to a large mansion at the other end of the city and see what is happening there. Before a dressing table sat a lady of apparently middle age. Her actions showed that she was preparing for some great adventure. Her beautifully curled hair was evidence of much leisure time and a minimum amount of care and sorrow. She was of medium height and not at all unattractive. At her elbow was a letter which she opened and smiled as sl1e read it. Well, I do believe that I did the right thing when I sent Harry that invitation. To be sure I shall wear that rose dress although I don't see the least thing pretty about lt. This lady was Mrs. Priscilla Morrison. Mother, what are you smiling about? I don't see anything the least bit amus- ing. Why can't I have a party some time? You always say I am too young and you know that I am eighteen. This came from the daughter of the house, Miss Phyllis Morrison. She was a bright eyed lass apparently of a nature that loved to be fondlcd and petted. Although an attractive little thing she could not be considered very U beautiful. Phyllis, there goes the door bell. Answer it, will you? Oh, dear, I do hope lt lsn't that catty Mrs. Lewis. I just know she is trying to flsh around and get an lnvltatlon to my party tonight and just imagine, child, her husband eats with his Q knife all the time. Saysthat he can get more that way. Isn't that frightful? : Phyllis went downstairs to the door and soon returned with a telegram. Only U a telegram, Mother. Just a minute and I'll read lt to you. She tore it open and read: S Mrs. Priscilla Morrison, 5 819 Main Srteet, City. I Dear Madam: Your mother was struck by an automobile. Come at once. S A neighbor - Oh, my goodness, I just knew something would happen to spoil my party, be- U cause I upset the pepper shaker this noon. Well, I suppose there ls nothing to do ex- 5 cept go. Listen, dear, call all my guests right away and tell them that the party will 5 be postponed indefinitely. Be sure and call Mr. Danvers because he was to have E been the honor guest. g In a short time Mrs. Morrison was on her way and Phyllis was at liberty. Oh, : goody, I just knew mother would fall for that fake telegram. Grandma has been : wanting her to come and visit her and it will do her good. Now I am going to have U a party and a real one. I think I'll carry out mother's plans and have it a mas- : querade, but I am going to invite all of my own friends. : D E i ' I , J an Page 151 , S,e..If-IM 'i ei, is umm- ,,- , , wx She set to work and called all her most intimate friends and also informed the guests of her mother that there would be no party. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in completing the plans and at an early hour she went to dress. About seven o'clock the first guests arrived and soon the party was in full swing. In addition to her mother's plans, Phyllis had hired an orchestra and decided to make it a real party while she was at it. The began the entertainment by playing some games and soon everyone was having a grand time. They had wearied of games in a short time and so the dances began. The first ,Wa 6 70, on the program was one of the old fashioned type. The first two dances were nearly , over when the maid Sarah, same toward Phyllis and said, Pardon miss but there is a gentleman in the hall that wishes to see your mother. He is dressed in the out- fit of a colonial general and it surely is an out-of-fit. Oh, gracious me. I completely forgot to phone Mr. Danvers and I'm sure that is who the gentleman is. Sarah, tell him that Mrs. Morrison will be there in a. few minutes. She ran back into the room and informed her guests of what had happened. She instructed them to be careful and not call her by her own name and to keep their masks on while the gentleman was here. Then she ran to her room and powdered her hair and tried her best to make herself look as she knew her mother had in- tended to dress. She went to the door of the drawing room and looked in through the curtains before entering so she would know a little of how Mr. Danvers looked. Oh! she exclaimed. He is handsome in that costume but I wonder how he looks in his every day clothes? Now, let's see I must talk just like mother and act like she would. She stepped inside of the door and said, How do you do, Mr. Danvers, you are looking fine. Why, Priscilla Morrison you are just the same as you used to be years ago when I was courting you. Do you know that-that was the way you always greeted me when I came to see you? And I do believe your are more beautiful than ever and did you wear that rose dress just because I wanted you to? Thank you, Harry, you haven't changed the least bit either, she said. We are just having some old time dances, Harry, come in and join us won't you? You used to do the Virginia Reel so well and so we shall have one right away, she added. My, how near I came to giving that away. Thank you, Priscilla, I shall be delighted if I may have the dance with you. I am afraid that I am not very good at it anymore though. Age does a lot for one, you know. She led him .to the ball room and soon the dance was in full swing. Everything was going along fine but fate did not will it so because Phyllis soon found that her gentleman was not so wonderful a dancer after all. Her feet were beginning to feel like stones. Mercy, were his feet so large as that? Soon the dances were over for the time being and everyone came to the room for refreshments. About midnight farewells were given and everyone left except Mr. Danvers who had asked if he might not remain for the sake of old times. Phillis was somewhat U taken aback but not known what else to say she told him that he might. They went to the drawing room and talked for some minutes on the event of the evening: but conversation soon lagged as neither one knew what to say next. Final- ly Phyllis started to talk about what she had heard her mother talk of all about her Q childhood days. Also her experiences with this gentleman. Then a bright idea struck s her. She remembered an old photograph album that she had seen her mother look 5 at a great many times. In it were pictures of her childhood companions. S Oh, Harry, she exclaimed. The other night I was looking through my old U photograph album and I found some of the funniest pictures of you. Just a minute - and I'll get them for you. S She arose from her seat, on the davenport but alas his heel was on the hem of - her old fashioned dress and the sudden jerk threw her out of b'alance. He stepped : forward to catch her and as she fell, she brushed 05 his wonderful mass of colonial 5 hair that had been borrowed for the evening. She also lost her mask. E After things had been righted she looked at him exasperated. Why, who on 3 earth are you? she cried. ,, Well done, son, exclaimed a voice from the door. S Phyllis I am ashamed of you, to play such a trick on mother, chimed in an- : other rather happy voice. C Dad! Mother! cried two much astonished voices. : 5 S ,X t r ' . J an Page 152 Oh never mind apologizing children said the man in the door. Mrs. Mor- rison found that she had been fooled by that fake telegram and returned hom at once. I found that some burglar had relieved me of my costume and came here ut once. I found your mother coming up the steps and we flnd that our children had been up to another childish prank. We decided not to interrupt the party: and I must say that we have had a most enjoyable evenlng. Make it double, smiled Jimmie as he looked fondly at the still shocked and iIZZl'? I -' in ij s agony astonished Phyllis. -DORA HITE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER Scene: The boudoir of a modern flapper. It is not richly furnished, but there are many pieces of feminine wearing apparel scattered over the room. Rose Moore is seen looking ln a closet for a dress, as the curtain rises.

Rose: Did I ever go with anyone you did like? Why don't you stop your continual nagging?

It is the fly in the ointment ot' our domestic peace and happiness. It is the bone of contention in all our family which we would all like to be rid of, but which we cannot get along without. 'Eg ...EL im I 13 si , vel--S+' ju U This furnace of ours, which consumes in one day more than any other fur- nace in the neighborhood does in a week, is blessed with almost human intelli- gence. It knows when mother wants to entertain her bridge club or Sis wants to have the gang in for the evening, and it picks that time to refuse gto burn. By the time the guests arrive it has a sudden change of heart and no amount of closing drafts and all the other mysterious rites one performs over furnaces will keep the heat down to normalcy. Of course, not all furnaces are like our. No doubt many families have very nice, well-behaved furnaces which only have to be tended once a day and whose ashes are only carried out once a week. Never-the-less a. good furnace has not been wished upon our family, and I don't see why. Our neighbors can vouch for our honesty, reliability, and adherence to all the good, neighborly customs, such as lending the lawn mower and rake, and sending over a half dozen salad forks when Mrs. Jones entertains. Now there is old Sam Taylor across the street who won't let the children skate past his house and who is the stingiest man In the neighbor- hood, yet his furnace behaves almost perfectly. But perhaps that is just another of the inequalities of this cruel world. -JANIS GOSLIN WHEN MY TEACHER WAS WRONG What did you get ln that six weeks test, Maurine? Mary asked me com- ing out of the class room. Eighty-six, I replied with joy. Don't ask me how I did it because I don't know. I didn't think I knew anything but I wrote down a group of words and I suppose she gave me this for trying. Let me see your paper. I only got eighty-two and you know that I am a better student in English than you are. I guess you are just trying to pull one of your jokes. Don't kid me. Let me see your paper. Mary took my paper to her seat and nearly everything that she had written was just opposite that I had on my paper. She went in to Miss Bolltho's desk to find out why she didn't get a higher grade than I did. During this time I was out broadcasting what a wonderful grade I had made. Really I though for a few minutes that by much hard work I might pass this year. But just then Miss Bolltho called me into her room only to tell me that she had made a mistake. She had counted up what she had taken off instead of what she should have given me. So again I got a rather low grade-fourteen. -MAURINE CASS STARS TO WHICH I HAVE HITCHED MY WAGON Who has not aspired to have the world at his feet? To taste the wine of suc- cess and applause? Years ago I longed to be a bareback rider in acircus so that I might wear silk tights and spangles and ride on a milk white horse. Since then I have given up the idea. No horse's back is broad enough for me, and the lure of catch-a-la-can food has lost its appeal. And then again I dreamed of going on the concert stage and of rendering soul stirring compositions on the piano, or of coming out on the platform in a long trail ing gown, bright with glittering jewels and of swaying some immense audience with my golden voice. In this I was always rather hazy as to my preference. The one thing necessary was sufficient glitter and fame. I still quite vividly recall my secret aspirations toward movie stardom. I sin taking serial. I would have a lovely blonde wig and would be rescued by the brave hero just as the audience had despaired of my deliverance from some direful situa- tion. And the picture would end in a beautiful fade-out with just us and the setting sun in the great west. Right now I am in the throes of criminal analogy. Detective stories fascinate me and the unraveling of their solutions holds me spell bound. What next? -BERNICE RAGER E C lllllllllllllllllillll U E cerely thought my life occupation was to play the fainting heroine in some breath l Page 155 Page 156 XXX MY FIRST HERO WORSHIP When I was a small child of eight or nine years, a certain young man in our neighborhood was the object of my fervent admiration. Of course, the fact that he was nearly twelve years older than I did not alter the circumstances. This individual had an invalid mother who had been bedfast for nearly seven years and who had not b'een upstairs in her own house for three years. Consequently, 41:-3--17,1--AI' ' my hero and his father were obliged to do all the housework, together with the farm labor. The fruit that grew on the farm was cared for, canned and preserved by them. They were excellent cooks and their cakes were sought after at all the community soclals. There were times, however, when both the men were called away and someone had to stay with the mother. A neighbor girl was usually called in, and oh, how glad I was when I was asked to go! Instead of entertaining the invalid, one was entertained. In case the patient slept, there was an abundance of funny papers at one's disposal. Then too, my h-ero was frequently the subject of the conversation and I learned more of his accomplishments. He was quite handsome, a good singer and always courteous and helpful. , One particular afternoon the young man returned before his usual time and I was very much elated at the prospect of being teased by him. But, alas! My hopes were shattered by the end of a pink parasol. A lady carrying this pretty trifle had come, and they were standing in the door- way talking excitedly about a dance. I tried to slip past them and start on my way home, b'ut my foot caught on the parasol and knocked it over. It was really not injured in any way but what do you think? My hero actually frowned at me and jerked it out of my hands. That was the end of my hero worship. -MARIAN LAKE ! THE SOUNDS I LIKE TO HEAR AT NIGHT I am rather temperamental and subject to moods, sometimes happy, often sad. With these moods, more often than not, my likes and dislikes vary. Good dance music! Peppy fox trots and dreamy waltzes, together with the light scraping of the dancer's feet upon a waxed floor, and the low murmur of voices both familiar and strange! If I am feeling especially light-hearted and gay these are the sounds that I like to hear at night! Sometimes I am restless, lonesome and blue. It is then that I like to hear the rain-a steady downpour of rain--beat upon the earth. At times this sound cheers me, at others it only accentuates my loneliness. I am seldom content to sit lnslde and listen: I feel a desire to get out in the midst of it all and walk-it does not U matter where, so long as there is rain. If I do follow this inclination, especially U true at night, my restlessness is calmed and I feel at peace with the world. But- on the morning after the night before I usually wake up with a bad! cold. s -ROSABELLE BRODE . S 5 5 A WARNING! g 'S S S The Staff! The Staff! The annual has meant S S Oh! What a Staff.

I . I 1 i 1 , E 5 i 1 P ti Learn, Work and Advance The value of a High School education will be determined in the way it is put to use after we leave school. The first step to determine, is the way we spend our time and talent, whether we use it in the frivolous ways of life or whether we go on learning and gathering knowledge, day by day. When we seek employment, whether we can answer the questions as to character and integrity. Whether we are ambitious and willing to do the minor things of life. Whether we are willing to be the section hand and learn the job, so we can be promoted to chief road master. Whether we are willing to sweep the bank floor, and grow to be the President, or whether we will wait for some one to offer us the Presidency of the bank, first. Just let us sit down and analyze the men's lives, as they started, who are filling the high places in the Commercial, Banking, Manufacturing, Political, and the Executive positions of life. We will find they have come from the ranks of the news boys, the pages, the farm boys. The man of energy and ambition will sweep aside the one who will sit down and wait for something good to turn up, that he may pick off the big job. That boy will be disappointed. It is the temptations, the adversities, the disappointments, that we overcome, with a brave heart and determination, that makes us and fit us for the strenuous positions of life. It will take courage and a will to overcome these that will polish us as a sparkling Diamond from the Master hand. A look into life with its cold blooded problems, to get a vision of our possi- bilities, is to always be a student, learning, working, toiling as a Master mind in the development of some scientific problem that will take time and research, and if necessary, going to the depths or the ends of the earth, for the material, necessary to complete the task undertaken. There are no short cuts to success. It must be carved out of our ability, energy, education and ambition.
