He has filled the position of left forward on the basket-ball team with great credit to himself and team. Plays the part of “Mark” in the class play. Will continue his education in some university, where he will take up pharmacy. Bertha W elty The “model” of the school In preserving order and in winning the hearts of the teachers? Walks the full distance of a half block to school and manages to be on time at least twice a week. Plays the part of “Taggs” in the senior play. Herbert Alexandar Who leads the arguments in Physics, plays the villian in the play, and rivals Milton in the excellence of his verse—who else it not “Alex.” No doubt if we were able to see into the future, we would find on the pages of history “Alexander the Great,” Poet, Philosopher, and Physicist. Lester Gentzhorn “Hess,” our business manager, lias troubles all bis own. lie lias always taken a leading part in class affairs. Plays the part of Ike, the hired man, in the class play. When not in school be may easily be found banging around Yoder’s Garage or at Newcomers’ Jewelry Store, dusting off clocks. Miller A girl of literary tastes, which were recognized when she was chosen associate editor of the Class Annual. Always at work and never neglecting her duties. She is indeed an honor to our class. Ivon Hartsough Ivon plays guard on the basket-ball team, holding the position in good style. Notwithstanding that he lives in the country, he is always on time. Is a good student and will no doubt continue his education in some college. Robert Wysong “Bob” joined us in his senior year coming here from Wolf Lake. Is an excellent basketball player and can always be counted on when a goal is needed. IIis deportment is perfect? He takes an especial liking to “Kizer’s Kindergarten.” Expects to enter Chicago University. Lola Feldman Lola has not taken so active a part in class affairs as some, but she has never failed to study, her standing in classes being rarely equaled. She lias passed her high school years in such a way that she may look back upon them with pleasure. Milo Bartholomew “Mike,” with “quality, not quantity,” as his motto, lias always held a high position in the class and is always willing to do his part. He will finish ids education in some college. Murray Ipe “Mug,” one of the strongest supporters of the green and white, is always there with the class spirit. Plays the part of “Upson Asterbilt,” the dude, in the senior play. Intends to take up pharmacy. Clara Walters “Sal,” oneof the staunchest of our twenty, has been with us for her entire term of school. The quiet and steady manner in which she lias conquered her high school obstacles has numbered her many friends. Newton Kensinger “Newt” lias spent his entire four years in high school here. He is always happy and contented. Who can say that Newton will not have his place In the world? Samuel SHarp “Sam” plays the star position at center in the basket-ball squad. Has driven tive miles to school all four years, regardless of the weather. He plays the title role of “Uncle Rube” and is one of the best students in the class. Lucile Uline Stands high in all her classes and an argument with Fisher in Physics is her chief delight. Plays the part of Mrs. Bunn in the class play. M elvm Miller “Mel”—he of the smiling face, gifted, happy, and contented. He surely is a tine lad. Plays the part of Bub Green and is sure to make a hit. Clarence Holloway Clarence has for his motto: “I Can.” He isgoodnatured, being ready to help anyone at any time. Is also endowed with a gift of poetry. Estella Dunn Estella, small but mighty, has the stick-to-it-iveness, which it takes to win. She came to us in her third year. She is especially gifted in music. Orville Fisher Orville, our mathematician, certainly has the grit—drives six miles to school every day. Who knows but what One of the teachers in the tine new school building in Nappanee may be Orville. Henry Howard Maust “Hank,” a son of the soil, stands among the first in the class. He is respectively: vice-president of the class, and editor, artist, and cartoonist of the Annual. He has discharged all his offices with great ability. Plays a leading part in “Uncle Rube.” His ambition is to become staff artist of the “Kingsville Bugle.” Frieda Price When everybody feels blue, Frieda comes to the rescue with a class party. She will continue her education at Ashland. 6' a. ■ ’ ■ ■ ■{. Y � cj. •ti’i (EIuhs § mtg Tune Princeton College Sonb LUCILE ULINK ESTELLA DUNN Although everybody called us When Freshmen very green We have climbed the lofty pinnacle, Where now we may be seen. We were always great in number, In brains and in the pride Which has brought us up as Seniors, While learning side by side. As Sophmores, we were brilliant, In Duker’s history class, Though everybody told us We sure had too much brass. That geometry, we loved it. This angle and that line Would remind us of that glad day When ’twould all be left behind. When Juniors we still kept up The record which we had. The reception was a bother When o’er, we all were glad. At commencement we were present In a box, all trimmed up bright, For we were ever loyal To the old dark green and white. Now as Seniors we are honored And loved by great and small. In every field we gain fame, In plays and basket-ball. And when it all is over We beg for the esteem Of teacher, friend and classes For the class nineteen thirteen. class rnsTOEy LUCILE ULINE TtfORMBR class histories for the most part have been fabrication and imagi-■2T nation and to one who olrserves closely it may have occurred that the theory of evolution is readily applicable to class histories. We hope that this history has individuality enough that it will amply repay the persons who read it. From our exalted position as Seniors, we looked back with pride at the brilliant and unsurpassed record which we left of our four years in High School. Apparently uneventful were the first two years of our career, being marked principally by enjoyable class parties given by loyal members of the class. The triumph of our third year was the Junior reception. Long had the Faculty and the class of T2 looked forward to the’13 Junior and with exclamations of joy they read the welcome invitation. Our reception was un-paralled by that of any other Juniors’, since always before they were dry and wearisome, while ours was one of true merit. But we have no intention of expounding our wisdom for others to mock, so will leave all praise or otherwise in the hands of the invited guests. Sometimes battle and midnight watches have been our lot, but never yet has the enemy surprised our camp because of sleeping guards, thanks to the loyal boys of our class. All praise to those whose careful vigilance has ever kept our banner from disgrace. The social functions of class T3 have been many and delightful. After returning from one of these enjoyable functions, each of us would lie on his downy couch in the wee sma’ hours and think of the tests which were always sure to follow such a social demonstration. In the field of athletics we have won much honor and praise, our strong point being basket-ball. Many a good throw has won a stirring “hurrah” from the heaving bosoms of the rooting squad. The goal for which we have been striving is now nearly reached and with an enviable record. The final reward for our labors will be given in May and twenty will be numbered with the Alumni. And now as we leave our high school days behind, may we go into a life filled with happiness and success in spite of the unlucky 13, and may it be said of each of us. “Wisdom he has, and unto wisdom courage, Temper to that, and unto all success.” (Elaaa fluent HERBERT ALEXANDER Composed Is our class of twenty lads And lassies great and small, Each eager for the time to come To hear the great world’s call. For at last our studies are ended, And from the old school we must part; Each working, striving, and battling, To wrin his fame in some art. From Freshies to Sophs, and to .1 uniors We’ve advanced up the path side by side; Eacli solving the schoolroom problems With a steady and unbroken stride. And now when at last we as Seniors, Have finished our course in the school, We see that in all our great learning, We’ve acquired a most precious jewel. Each scholar with the firm endeavor To do his full share in the light, Has won all the honor and glory That follows the doing of right. So have passed our twelve years of school life, Though it seems no more than a day. May they ever brighten our memory As the passing years roll away. But still all our work is not ended. Though our school days have passed and gone, For the days of life are before us And we are still but in the dawn. The world should gladly receive us For through the years of the N. II. S. Not a class has ever surpassed us, In winning so marked a success. (Clmifl iJIrapljrry SAMUEL SHARP •Jp-T order to foretell the future of class ’13, neither the gloomy cavern of the Sibyl nor any mysterious oracle has been consulted. Sitting by the lireside one evening, I fell asleep and in a dream the future of each member of the class was revealed. I will retell them as they appeared to me. The drug store of Johnson Son will have a new partner, when Lloyd has finished a course in pharmacy at college. This life will not appeal to him very long and he will then take up forestry. Behind the counter of a large business house in South Bend will be seen the bright and smiling face of Lola Feldman. On beautiful farms in the country, Ivon and Clarence will dwell. in summer they will spend the time farming and in w inter will teach the home schools. Frieda Price, after taking up a course at Ashland College, is destined to be the leader of many social functions Having secured all the malhematicil training he can find, Orville will some day he professor of that subject in some university. In a few years, in reading an account of a World Series game between the New York Giants and the Chicago White Sox, the name of Robert Wy-song will be given special mention. Wilma will go to college for a time but after seeing the ways of the world she decides to promote the cause of the helpless. If you should at any time go to Mexico, you will hear of a noted orphan asylum. Of this she will be manager. Newton, after taking a correspondence course in engineering, will go to North Dakota and run a J. I. Case threshing engine. A large homestead in the west will in a short time be the home of Melvin. Here he will have plenty of space to test his knowledge of agriculture. Lucile will take a course in stenography at the South Bend Business College and then be employed as oltice girl in her father’s business. Milo will try teaching, but finding the task of correcting pupils hard on his robust frame, will settle down with his city bride to the more quiet life of farming. If one should step into Yoders’ Garage twenty years hence he would see crawling from under an automobile a man, daubed witli dirt and grease. The man will be easily recognized as Lester who is still trying to win fame in the field of mechanics. Every one of class ’13 will know where to find a place to stay overnight when in Indianapolis, for Clara, having captured the heart of a youth in that city w ill dwell there. To literature will be added the famous works of a new author -Herbert. Bertha for some time will desire to obtain a greater education but struck by Cupid's arrow she will change her mind and become involved in the harmony and discord of married life. Murray will end his romantic career by marriage. As a wedding gift his father will present him with a large “pea green” dredge, with which he will attempt to drain the Everglades of Florida. One of our fellow students disappears—gone as though never to return. Years afterwards a famous cartoonist appears at the opera house at Nappanee holding his audience spell-bound. To tiie crowd’s delight he becomes known as a member of class ’13—Henry Maust. Estella’s rapid musical development will soon enable her to make a concert tour of the leading European countries.

With beating hearts and fearful glances at the faculty they entered their class-rooms and by their good behavior and obedience have always been the teachers’ favorites. By the second semester the greenness had partly worn off and the regular routine of high school life began. We soon see them full fledged Sophomores although greatly decreased in numbers, looking with disdain upon the Freshmen and Juniors, but looking up with adoration to their comrade class, the Seniors. Class organization was now thought proper. Noble Hollar was elected president, Jessie Dunn secretary, and Forest Nickler, treasurer. Class parties and sleigh-rides were very popular this year. The second semester was tilled with the struggle with ver- tices and logic of Geometry. George Warner and Noble Hollar starred in the basket-ball team this year. Brilliant Juniors at last but unfortunately the arrows of Cupid and other inducements have decimated their numbers. But twenty-one remain under the colors of Old Rose and Ash. On account of the withdrawal of their president and treasurer from the school, reorganization was necessary. Mario Berger was elected president, Andrew Nold treasurer, and Jessie Dunn was re-elected secretary. The Junior girls’ basket-ball team, composed of Blanche Blosser, Jessie Dunn, Lucile Yarian, Marie Burbach and Lucile Teeter, is taking a prominent part in athletics. They would probably be the 1912-13 Champs, although no interclass games have been held. George Warner, Clayton Weber, Frank De-freese, Andrew Nold, Ora Strycker, Lowell Roose, and Mario Berger are holding up the boys’ share of the Junior athletics. Although beaten by the Sophs, they worsted the Freshmen. The Junior class look forward to the time when they shall be Seniors, although the happiest school days shall then be over. The Junior-Senior banquet will Ire held at the home of Miss Bernice Lehman. £ nphnm0rr (EIhsh NAMES Reading from left to right, top row—Joe Kaufman, Clarence Branson, Vernon Wagner, Elmer Yoder, Lloyd Yarian, Ward Coppes, Herschel Stackhouse.

Although the class of 1912 was somewhat troubled about the “Big Fifty,” and even was kind enough to prepare us a place on the lire escape, with John as leader we not only reached the highest steps but succeeded in organizing during the first year. First of our industrious class is Dora, who nearly always carries out the command, “Do unto others as you wish to be done by.” Next comes Lloyd, better known as “Ben the Bluffer,” who is continually trying to introduce new propositions in geometry, but in all probability will become “straw boss” at the “gris mill.” John will follow in ids father’s footsteps and become a teacher of the gospel. Then comes “Booby,” who is very much in-terestedHn automobiles. As yet he runs noth- ing but a rattle trap, but In the near future we expect to see him running a six cylinder. Next comes Hortense who is continually changing her name. We are living in hope that she will not change it again liefore 1915. Beatrice and Pauline are very enthusiastic over basket-ball. In the future if you wish to know anything (?) about the game, just inquire of them. Clarence and Joe are deeply interested in the Junior class. (We wonder why.) Then there are Donald and Roy, our staunch botany students. During the years following their high school course, they will travel a great deal in foreign count ries and gather many plants for botany. Pearl who is continually smiling at the boys will probably become a comic actress. Harvey and Elmer can hardly wait until they are old enough to apply for a teacher’s license. We expect to see the “Star of History Class” (?) in Koontz Pros, drug store selling Mennen’s talcum powder and Apple Blossom perfume—these being her favorites. Kenneth, commonly known as “Chisel,” will be brakeman on a B. O. hand-car. We are in hopes that this exercise w ill make his pompadour more presentable. Hazel and Mary after many quarrels over Mearl will plunge into political life and endeavor to forget him. Herschel and Vernon after many years of success as farmers will lead retired lives. Gale and Treva will become grand opera singers. Rieta and Wilma are both very good in all their studies. They will attend South Bend Business College and graduate with the highest honors. Ward, president of the class, will become president of the Farmers and Traders Bank. Anna and Leonore will go to Africa to teach the heathen the way to the light. Edgar is working very hard for class honors. We hope lie will receive them. And as for ourselves, we will build us a hut and live as hermits.

The Eighteenth TER ARY V . (Eriflrs BERTHA WELTY k all admire the great things accomplished in life, but how many of us have ever thought that, these are made possible only by many little things which led up to the great accomplishment. Great lives are made up of the trifles which gather around them in their youth. A strong character is not made in a day or by one great leap and bound, it is built by overcoming the trifling temptations which rise before us while young. Many people seem to think that it matters little what they do or say, when they are at work with their fellow men or when in their own homes. They think that by doing little things here, which they would not think of doing elsewhere, does them no particular harm. But how often we find that the man or woman who is careless in his habits at home, is the same carelass person away from home. If a man is careless in the trifling things of life you will find him the same when it comes to matters of greater importance. One writer has said: “Trifles discover character more than actions of seeming importance.” In regard to the former the man is off his guard and does not deem it necessary to use disguise. Men’s destinies and characters are often determined by the trifles which lead them through life. There are trifles which lead men down as well as up. We should be able to judge to which goal the trifle leads; to perfection or to destruction. Many a man has become a drunkard, because he drank the first small glass of sparkling wine. On the other side of the question many men had gone toward perfection, because they put under foot the first trifling temptation which they met. Do we find anything in nature which does not consist of many small parts put together? It is the drops of water that makes our great lakes and oceans. Each grass blade must play its part to make a meadow; each grain of wheat play its part in producing a harvest: each pebble takes its place on the sandy beach. In the study of Botany we find that the beautiful flowers which we see growing about us are all divided into distinct and separate parts, put together in Nature’s own way. A small plant just springing up appears to be very insignificant and can easily be crushed under foot without any special attention. Have you ever seen these small plants do things which human hands could not do? There was once an infidel duchess, who gave the orders when she was dying that her grave should be covered with a solid slab of granite, and around it square blocks of stone. These were to be fastened together by clamps. On the stone these words were cut: “This burial place purchased to all eternity, must never be opened.” A little seed sprouted under the covering and the tiny shoot found its way through, between two of the slabs and grew there until it burst the clamps asunder and lifted the great rocks. Not all trifles in nature work for good: a great tire is often caused by a very small beginning. Doubtless the woman in Chicago little thought that the great Chicago fire would be caused by her cow kicking the lantern and breaking it. No doubt such a thought did not even enter the minds of those who saw the first small blaze. All the Dutch people in Holland know the worth of “one small leak in the dike.” Any loyal Hollander will leave everything else to attend to the smallest leak he may discover, for he knows that it will take but a few hours for the mighty ocean to force open a greater space and rush in to destroy their lands. How many great business men are there today who have not had a small beginning? I o we not find that it is those men, who have climbed the ladder of fortune, round by round, that are today transacting the business of the world; while many of those who had every advantage when starting in life are now going backward, if not already bankrupt and have nothing left to encourage them. The business man who does not know the worth of little things, is often found in the latter class. It is these trifling little things which often keep the proprietor at his desk until late in the night. He may say: “Well what have 1 really accomplished since closing hours?” We w ould answer: “Nothing w hich really counts for much at present.” But yet tomorrow’s work might have gone entirely wrong, had these duties been left undone. The business man, who does not attend to the trifling affairs of his establishment is also liable to lose financially. How many men are there who make their money by the hundred or thousand dollars at a time: especially the merchants owning dry-goods, grocery stores, etc. He buys his material by the yard and sells it at a few cents gain. If he is not interested in seeing that he gets as many yards out as he bought, will he not lose financially? When looking at the massive foundation of a factory engine you see its enormous wheels running the many different machines of a large factory with great steadiness. But the smooth- ness with which the engine runs and the power obtained from it largely depends upon the exactness with which the small fittings of the great engine are placed and adjusted. The engine and machinery may suddenly come to a standstill. On investigation it is found that a small rod controlling the valve, that admits the steam to the engine, is broken and as a result the monster is motionless. In our own town, some years ago, an engine was badly wrecked because a few small bolts became loosened and allowed the heavy parts to move from their places. The watch consists of many small parts and yet is quite an important factor in every day use. Each pivot must be exactly straight and brightly polished: each tiny wheel must be exactly true; every small jewel must be shaped and set just right. One day as the friend of a sculptor was looking at his work, he commented on a certain piece of work, saying that it looked so mucli better than formerly. The sculptor then told him what had been done to it since he last saw it. His friend listened to him and then said: “Oyou have just done the little things.” True the sculptor had not done a great work, but he knew that these trifies would make perfection and this by no means is a trifie. Destruction is often determined by the smallest of circumstances. For example some one may determine to live a reformed life. It may be they hear it on the street or in their own home—some little thing said, that may discourage them entirely and be the cause of them, never again trying to live an honorable life. Alpine guides sometimes come to places where vast avalanches lie above. These are often so exactly balanced that the echo and vibration of the air, produced by shouts and loud talking, are sufficient to break the last icicle t hat holds it, and down it comes. In passing such places, the guide does not permit a word to be spoken. Trains are often destroyed by the movement of aswitch no more than the tenth part of an inch. There are trifies which lead to bad as well as toward good and perfection. What appear as trifies today may only be preparation for future great accomplishments. The clerk in the store today is the future merchant. What we do now is the foundation for our future life. We must choose for ourselves the foundation on which we stand. It is made strong by trifies that are daily met. The smallest crust may save a human life; The smallest act may lead to human strife; The smallest touch may cause the body pain; The smallest spark may tire a field of gruiti ; The smallest deed may kill the truly brave; The smallest skill may serve a life to save; The smallest drop the thirsty may relieve; The slightest shock may wake a heart to grieve; Naught is so small that it may not contain The rose of pleasure or the thorn of pain. (EuUurr WILMA MILLER � y culture is meant the advancement or refinement of the intellect by study, application and attention. The word of ambition at the present day is culture. While all the world is in pursuit of power and of wealth, as the means of attaining great pow er, the theory of success is corrected by culture. Culture appeals to the rank of powers and places before man some ideal upon which to build Ids hopes and aspirations. It is as necessary to the mind as food to the body. Every person must start out in the world with a good determination and have before him some ideal upon which to base his goal. That person is only a well-made man w ho has a good determination. And the end of culture does not destroy this, but only tends to further his aim in life. Courage, perseverance and self-reliance bring success. In order to succeed a person must have great foresight, he must like- wise be a clear thinker and strive to overcome all difficult problems which he encounters. Culture tends to destroy all exaggeration and makes people see things as they really exist. It puts them among their equals and superiors. People are greatly influenced by their environment; education awakens them to the fact that they are not simply living in a small village or town but in the great world. Many people become interested in some certain line of work, and spend all their time and energy upon that certain work, neglecting everything else which would further the development of their minds. To be educated one should have a general knowledge of affairs so that he may appear to advantage in society or elsewhere, w henever called upon to converse on any topic. Pericles, Plato, Caesar, and Shakespeare were well-read, universally educated men. Their opinion w as regarded as important because they were acquainted with both sides of whatever question they were called upon to discuss. Although a peron may attain a very high state of culture without the school, nevertheless the school is the most natural course taken by those striving for educational advantages. Many people are deprived of school education but Improve every opportunity to broaden their intellects by good reading and thus become self-educated. In fact, some of our most successful men, as Abraham Lincoln, have had few educational advantages. Men like Lincoln have succeeded only because they were determined to succeed and improved every moment by reading and studying all books which were at their disposal. That person who earns his own w'ay to high school or college is being educated for some purpose and is sure to succeed. On the other hand, the school aids the students by training them into the best ideals of integrity, interest and alertness. There are forms of conduct not found in books, butsimply acquired by contact with people, out of which come some of the best types of character. “Partial culture runs to the ornate; extreme culture to simplicity,” and Chas Eliot has said, just recently: “Nocapital earns so much interest on its investment as personal culture.” Perhaps one of the greatest means of culture is contact with people. Generally speaking, it is more advantageous to live in or near a large town, thus are gained both the advantage of the quiet and solitude of country life and, at the same time, contact with the various activities of city life. This is more noticeable in the manners of children. One can easily discern whether a child has been accustomed to much contact with people or not, or whether these people have education and refinement. But this is just as true of older persons, as such a great part of our education is sympathetic and social so you cannot have one cultured man or woman without a whole society of such. And in striving for culture, the true aim of culture must be kept in view. Thus, Harriet Beecher Stowe has said: “That is true cultivation which gives us sympathy with every form of human life and enables us to work most successfully for its advancement. Refinement that carries us away from our fellowmen is not God’s refinement.” We should come into a closer relation with all mankind and learn to love what is simple and beautiful and strive to add something to the well-being of men. Culture cannot begin too early as the life of the young boy or girl foretells what the life of the man or woman will be. One of the highest purposes of culture is to give a man a perfect knowledge and master of his ow n inner self. Extensive travel is another means of gaining a more perfect intellectual knowledge of affairs. Most of our university and college professors have spent part of their time abroad, studying or for the purpose of research in their particular line of work, but also primarily for purposes of general culture. Longfellow gained a broader knowledge by his tours abroad and thus had a w ider range of subjects from which to choose, gaining an advantage over Whittier, w hose education and experience was very limited. Likewise many of our writers have made tours abroad, thus coming in contact with various peoples. A person may learn more from travelling than in several years of schooling, as some tilings only seem real when they have actually been seen and not merely read of in books, which often makes them seem imaginative. Thus, experience is always found to be the greatest teacher. Great men like Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson, who became such great factors in the political life of their time, have had a great influence on the affairs of our nation and likew ise, upon the minds of all mankind. These men are always more honored and esteemed when it is found they possessed intellectual tastes and skill. Ms Hlhrrr (tanlhtr ts IKtitg lester gentziiorx He automobile in a practical form is a comparatively new invention. The majority of us remember when we looked upon the first automobile as a great curiosity, and to-day even in the small towns people do not turn their heads as one whizzes by. It is now a very com- mon sight to see the farmers come to town in the latest type of car. What has made the automobile so common and the price so low that it is no longer a luxury for the rich only? The answer is: quantity manufacturing. In the year 1894 the first automobile appeared in Detroit, which is now probably the greatest automobile center in the world. In 1903 the Ford Motor Co. was organized, and in 1912 manufactured and sold 75,000 cars, and is planing to double its out put for 1913. This great business has developed in the short time of ten years. The future of the automobile is great, especially in the commercial car field. The U S. government has carried on numerous experiments to find a motor truck that w ill bear great loads but w ill not be so heavy as to break down the light bridges found in the thinly settled parts of the United States. The commercial truck has taken the place of horses with most of the large department stores and other places where large number of horses are used. They do not get tired, can haul heavier loads and the driver does not have to pity them as he would a horse The automobile hasgiven thousands of people many hours of enjoyment and also many hours of trouble, but nothing unites the people of neighboring towns as does a means of rapid transportation. The automobile simple, durable, and efficient, solves this question, and people are enabled to penetrate places never entered by a railroad. Now let us look into those parts of the automobile that tend to make it so durable and efficient. Of the motorcars one sees on the street there are three kinds: gasoline, electric, and steam— refering to their motive power. The last named can be dismissed with a few words, for steam cars are becoming fewer and fewer each year. Early in the history of the motor car industry the steam car was the most popular owing to the lack of development of the other two kinds. There are many-people to-day who prefer the steam car because of its smoothness and ability to climb hills. The steam car works on the same principle as the railway locomotive, generating steam in a boiler to operate the steam engine. Gasoline is the fuel gener ally used for the tire under the boiler. Most people feel that to drive and to care for a steam car one must be something of an engineer. In fact the chief difference between the steam car and the gasoline car has been aptly expressed by a motorist who has driven both types, in the statement that, when something went w rong with the gasoline car it took a day to find the trouble and a minute to fix it, while with the steam car it took a minute to find it and a week to fix it. Electric cars are driven by one or two electric motors which receive current for their opera- tion from an electric storage battery carried in the car. They have a distinct field and in that field they are popular. They do not have to be cranked, are silent, smooth and reliable. The chief features urged against them are that they are heavy and the fact that the storage batteries must be recharged with electrical energy about every one hundred miles which necessitates that they get not too far away from a charging station. Dismissing these tw o classes of cars with this, we will turn to the gasoline type of car, by far the most widely used type, and the one which will receive the greatest part of our attention. To make clear from the beginning the order in w hich the gasoline motorcar is to be explained, it is necessary at first to look at the car as a whole. It is made oi two main parts, entirely distinct from one another, the body and the chassis. The body of a motor car is simply the result of the carriage builder’s art and need not concern us. The chassis is w hat is left of the car when we loosen up the bolts that hold the body to the frame and take off the body and fenders. The chassis is the real w orks of the car. It consists first of the engine or motor located in front of the dashboard, performing the same duties and occupying the same location as the horse does in the older type of road vehicle. Next there is the transmission, which term includes all the machinery that helps in making the power of the motor turn the driving wheels. The terra is often used incorrectly to mean the gear set, which is only part of the transmission system. This system includes the clutch, which is next to the motor, then comes a short shaft to the gear set From the gear set extends a shaft called the driving shaft or the propeller shaft, to the rear axle, in shaft-driven cars. In chain-driven cars the driving shaft only part way to the rear axle, but connects w ith the cross shaft from which chains run either to the rear axle or to the rear wheels. The final part of the transmission system is the rear axle with its differential. The differential is a device for allowing either wheel to turn faster than the other. To accomplish this the driving axle is made in two parts, a driving wheel being attached to the outer end of each part, and the driving power applied to the axle w here the inner ends meet. The two parts of the axle are connected by gears, so that if one wheel is revolved forward, the driving gear being held stationary, the wheel will revolve backwards at the same speed as the first one turns forward. The device enables one wheel to turn faster than the other when the automobile runs in a curved path. At one or both ends of the propeller shaft and often in front of the gear set are placed universal joints sometimes called Carden joints or Hook’s joints. These allow the shaft to rock or hinge about in any direction while the shafts are rotating. The swaying of the car on its springs makes this flexible connection necessary. The third system of the car is the running gear. This includes the wheels, front axle, springs, the frame that carries the motor and transmission system, and the steering and control arrangements. In addition to these systems are the various adjuncts which are necessary to their proper operation. In the case of the motor these include the fuel and oil tanks, the ignition devices and self-starters if used. The transmission system is almost complete in itself and the running gear parts are such as the mud-pan under the motor, the hangers for the mudguards, and so on. Starting the gasoline motor has always been a question and in 1909 became serious because of racing cars constructed with motors too large to be turned over by hand unless geared down with an accessory shaft. Self-starters were also in great demand by women who drove their own cars. The year 1911 saw the first really serious agitation for starters, and so great has been the progress that by the year 1912 nearly every good make of car was equipped with one form or another. The first devices were springs, straps, chains, etc. They served their purpose well but were supplanted by presure devices using air, acetylene, and other sources of fluid pressure. These were followed by the electric devices in which the greatest prograss has been made. In some of the electric starting systems, the generator serves as a motor to start the engine and when the engine is running, lights the electric lamps and furnishes current for ignition, besides storing up current for starting the engine again. The automobile industry is only in its infancy and its future is great. This age is an “Age of Speed” and the automobile has its place. SPEED BY CARLTON EDHOLM The feverish motors Hashing by; The swift plane swooping in the sun, The skein of wires against the sky, All mean—unnumbered lives in one. These things we do in toil or play. Grow not as the deliberate oaks: The thought, the will, the deed to-day Are triple, tierce trip-hammer strokes. Old land-marks totter; in their place Rise overnight the spires the new Faith builds. They clutch the base and dare Like spears, the eternal blue. Our fate in one quick throw is cast. The Now. What far beyond know we: To live the day e'er it be past. Our answer is Eternity. (0ur iflnst Ultbrlu ICntirit IJnrt, 1®. ICmiijff llmu FRKIDA ELIZABETH PRICE T|s there anyone of America’s people who is not acquainted with Longfellow? Surely you all know of Priscilla's famous “Why don’t you speak for yourself, John,” and of “Hiawatha,” and of “Paul Itevere’s Ride.” On the twenty-seventh of March, 1807, our great poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, was born in Portland, Maine, in a great brick house by the sea. 11 is father was a prominent lawyer; his mother though for years an invalid, had not lost the cheeriness which she possessed as a lively young girl. Longfellow had all the opportunities of a good education. He was turned loose in the library and there it was he became attached to books. Irving’s Sketch Book was the first book to attract his attention. At three he started to school, at six he wrote his first letter; and by the age of seven he was half way through his Latin Grammar. He was of a quiet, ambitious nature and loved to lie under a tree and read. He loved birds and animals just as well as the flowers and trees. He never could kill a bird or animal as his companions did. One time he did kill a robin red breast and lamenting on this he lovingly wrote: '‘The birds who muke sweet music for us all In our dark days as David did for Saul. He resolved never to kill another. He entered Bowdoin College at the age of fourteen. While there he wrote many verses of poetry and began to wish to make himself eminent some day. He won the friendship of nearly every pupil at Rowdoin and also was a favorite with the faculty, in fact, lie was loved by everyone. The college authorities esteemed him so highly, that they selected him professor of modern languages He went to Europe in order to prepare for this position and traveled in France, Spain, England and Germany, making himself acquainted witli the language of each country. In 1829.he returned and took up his duties of Leaching and preparing elementary text-books in French and Spanish. After serving five years at Bowdoin he accepted the professorship at Harvard. This required more study abroad. He sailed, accompanied by his wife, in the spring of 1835, by way of London, where they met the Carlyles and other literary people of note. In December, on their way south, Mrs. Longfellow died at Rotterdam. After seventeen years as professor in Harvard lie resigned and retired in Craige House where Washington once had his headquarters. On a third visit to Europe Longfellow met his second wife, Francis Elizabeth Appel ton, the daughter of a Koston merchant, which incident lie records in his “Hyperion.” in the yearof the publication of “Hyperion” appeared also “Voices of Night” containing the “Psalm of Life.” Youths with high spirits and ambitions rejoice in titiding their feelings expressed: Act, Act in the living present, Heart within and God overhead!” There is nothing strange or startling about this Psalm but it lias been translated into other languages and set to music. A workman who was aroused by tills poem stopped Longfellow on the streets of London and asked to shake hands with the man who wrote the “Psalm of Life.” It is said that in the interior of Asia the poem has been translated into the language of those remote nations. Then we ask, why is his poetry so popular? I think tiie best reason is that lie expresses a universal sentiment in the simplest and most melodious manner. Almost everyone will read poetry that puts their thoughts and feelings into words. A critic said that Longfellow is not grand and utters nothing which common people did not already know. Yes that is true but is there not something yet to be added? No one else had uttered tilings so gracefully, so beautifully, nor so pleasingly. Although Longfellow was a learned man his style is very simple and for this reason lie is loved by all children. The children of Cambridge especially felt him to be their friend and presented him witli a chair made of the ‘Spreading Chestnut Tree” under which the village smithy stood. Longfellow’s most noted works are Evangeline, Hiawatha, and theCourtshipof Miles Standish. These are written in a peculiar kind of verse, called hexameter verse, which no one thought could be used with success in the English language. Hiawatha is modeled after an old Indian epic, the Kaleoaln of Finland. Longfellow read and studied the old Indian legends and connected with them his hero, Hiawatha, belonging to the Ojibway tribe near Lake Superior. The poem tells of woods and birds, of Hiawatha’s boyhood, of his learning of the language of the animals and birds of the forest: of his first hunt, of his wooing of the beautiful Minnehaha, and of that dreadful famine that caused Minnehaha’s death. Cold and unsympathizing are the hearts that will not soften when they hear Hiawatha pleading: Give your children food, O father! Give us food or we imiHt perish! Give me food for Minnehaha, For my dying Minnehaha.” The story of Evangeline goes back to the days of 1775 when the English took Arcadia and drove all the inhabitants from their homes. Among those who became separated from each other are Evangeline and her lover Gabriel. She is a fair, saintly maiden and continues iier search for him for many, many long years, and at last tinds him dying in a hospital. Hawthorne related this incident to Longfellow once when they dined together. Hawthorne had thought of writing a novel of some such plot but gave it up and it was adopted by Longfellow. The Courtship of Miles Standish is a story dealing with two of Longfellow’s ancestors of the Mayflower, John Alden and Priscilla Mullens. Miles Standish, a gallant warrior, is not acquainted w ith the “ways of women” and yet wishes to gain the hand of Priscilla, llethinks Ills friend John Alden, is better adapted to such a task and finally succeeds in gaining Alden’s consent to deliver the message. John is deeply in love with Priscilla himself, and she knows it, so when lie has pressed the suit for Standish as far as he can, Priscilla cunningly says: “Why don’t you speak for yourself, John?” The result made Standish angry and he soon after disappears, but just as the ceremony is taking place he suddenly appears and, being cured of his love and anger, gives iiis blessing to the young couple. Longfellow’s happy, happy life was saddened by an awful event. His wife caught tire from a lighted taper and burned to death in the presence of her husband and children. He did all he could to save her but to no avail. He himself received such deep burns from the accident that he was unable to attend her funeral. That this grief was always with him afterwards we know from his pathetic “Solitary Way.” To forget his grief he translated Dante and succeeded as no one else has. Longfellow is honored almost as much in England as in America. The former has put his bust in the Poets Corner of Westminster Abbey—the highest mark of esteem. He is as much read there as here. At home he has one rare tribute of love paid him: his seventy-fifth birthday was celebrated by the schoolchildren. When he passed away shortly afterwards, on the twenty-fourth of March, 1882, school after school reverently draped their halls in mourning and even now his birthday is celebrated throughout all America. Let us hope he henceforward always will be praised especially for these noble lines of his: “Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother Seeing, may take heart again. — Psalm of Life. Ultras a Hfrapnn HENRY MAU8T any people have an idea that the sole object of the cartoonist is to amuse. Though wit is an important part of the modern American cartoon, the cartoonist makes men think as well as smile. The one who makes people think is the great cartoonist, while the one who only makes them laugh has second place. Cartoons are picture editorials. As a medium through which the public may gain an insight into the affairs of the day, the cartoon is superior to the editorial, which is often too weighty for the mind of the average newspaper reader. In the cartoon the idea is almost always grasped at first glance; and also, a picture makes a more lasting impression than words. Cartoons, cutting and to the point, drawn by such men as Cory, Nelan, Davenport, and Thomas Nast, have made deeper impressions than pages of written matter would have done. Through Nast’s UncleSam, theTammany Tiger, the Democratic and Republican party symbols, “Harper’s Weekly” exerted more power than it could possibly have done in any other way. For a long time the government of New York City was in the hands of the corrupt Tammany Hall forces, and about 1870 under the management of the Tweed ring, “Boss Tweed,” by fraudulent contracts, stole in three years from the county of New York about $100,000,000. Nast did more than any other man in the overthrow of the ring. Throughout 1870 and 1871 he published in “Harper’s Weekly” a series of cartoons of such effective and destructive power against Tweed and his confederates as to draw' the attention of the whole world. One of the strongest of the series, entitled: “Waiting for the Storm to Blow Over,” shows Tweed and his gang huddled together among human skulls and bones, behind a nigged cliff seeking shelter from streaks of lightning and downpour of rain and hail. When Tweed had been foreman of the Big Six Fire Company he decorated his engine with a savage tiger head. This he hung up in Tammany Hall as a remembrance of those days. Nast recognized the rapacious creature as a fitting emblem for the corrupt political gang. The final blow came just before election day, 1871, when thereappeared in “Harper’s” adouble page picture, the most powerful and destructive cartoon everdrawn: “TheTammany Tiger Loose, What Are You Going to do About it?” The people were aroused and the ring was soon put behind prison bars. The “boss” escaped to Spain, but through his resemblance to one of Nast’s cartoons which showed him kidnapping two children, New York City and New York State, was arrested as a kidnapper and sent back to the United States. Uncle Sam was derived from Uncle Samuel Wilson, an inspector of government supplies, who lived at Troy, New York, about 1885. When supplies were accepted he marked them U. S. A workman engaged in handling the boxes, when asked what the letters stood for, replied: “Uncle Sam ” The initials for Uncle Sam and the United States were the same. The answer was repeated and it was in that way that Uncle Sam was born. Nast somewhat altered his clothes and made him a lanky fellow, giving the impression of thrift, common sense and humor, the qualities expressive of the American nation. The Democratic Donkey was at first intended only for the faction of the Democratic party which severely criticized Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, even as lie lay dead in his colli n. This abuse caused Nast to draw a cartoon entitled: “A Live Jackass Kicking a Dead Lion.” From this time it lias been used hundreds of times until now it has become indelible. In 1873, Editor Bennett of the “New York Herald,” started under the head of “Caesar-ism,” a scare against Grant and his possible third term. Bennett was not alarmed, but with his fondness for a hoax wanted to see how much of a disturbance could be raised. Nast drew a cartoon showing the “Herald” as a donkey in a lion’s skin frightening a number of other animals: among them a large clumsy elephant, labeled “Republican Vote” at the edge of the pitfall. The symbol was for a time labeled “Republican Vote,” then “Republican Party,” and finally “Grand Old Party,” now shortened to “G. O. P.” These symbols are the very essence of the American cartoon and it is impossible to form a mental picture of any of the three parties without thinking of the donkey, the huge elephant, or the moose, which lately made its appearance. By representing the poorly clad and ill-fed United States army and navy as two skeletons, and throwing his whole strength in their be- half, Nast soon caused conditions to be wonderfully improved. In 1879 three thousand five hundred officers and enlisted men presented him with a silver vase as an expression of their gratitude. The New York police scandal, which recently shocked the entire country, was brought to light largely through the work of our cartoonists. The attacks of Boardman Robinson, the modern crusader among the New York cartoonists, on shams, habits, customs, individuals, corporations, and things that obstruct the path of human progress preach strong and convincing sermons. Nothing could say more than a picture in which “Justice” is being sold at auction by the “county machine” to a gang of gamblers and ferret-eyed politicians. A man who bought up a state legislature said: “I can stand all the editors say about me but these pictures will be my ruin.” Said another: “I don’t give a d----n what the editors say about me but I do kick on being held up to contempt as a beast and blackleg in the pictures of that man Rogers.” Thus two notorious politicians paid tribute to the apostle of truth, the cartoonist—the most powerful moulder of public opinion to-day. His power is unlimited and his responsibility very great for with a few slashes of his pen he indirectly makes laws, breaks up trusts, and makes and unmakes men. He “wields a weapon upon whose edge it were not well for any man to fall.” “S'tirUUntitmtrHfi” ESTKLLA DUNN bskrve the postage stamp, it sticks to one thing till it gets there. “Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.—-He that shall walk with vigor, three hours a day, will pass, in seven years, a space equal to the circumference of the globe.” In looking back over the history of the world we find that the works of perseverance have been a great force in the making of the world as we have it today. Perseverance has made countries and nations. By it the barbarous tribes have been brought out of darkness and have been made over into great nations. It has opened a highway thro’ the unknown waters of the Atlantic, cleared the forests of a new world and reared in their stead a com- munity of states and nations. Our own United States was made great by perseverance. The pilgrim fathers came over here with the idea of the making of a new home firmly fixed in their minds. They had many hardships and disappointments, but never oncedid they think of giving it up and of returning to their old homes. Several attempts were made at settlement in Virginia. The first three were destroyed but the fourth succeeded by perseverance. Many in this settlement died from fever and many were killed by the Indians. The remainder, many times, almost gave up in despair But the leaders took courage and stuck to it until finally the colony secured a foothold. Several years after this when our forefathers fought for their liberty, they won out by de- daring their purposes and then sticking by them. Later when our union was endangered, Lincoln and many other men wished to keep the states together and did so by persevering in the carrying out of their purpose. The most wonderful things in tire world made by human hands were obtained only by perseverance. Distant countries have been united with canals, mountains tunneled and steam harnessed to cars which were set flying from town to town and nation to nation. It lias brought the peoples of all nations into communication with each other by means of electricity. The wonderful pieces of architecture have been constructed in the same way. Also, cities have been built. They have not sprung up all at once, but have been made year by year. “Rome was not built in a day.” Nature teaches us perseverance. The lofty mountains are wearing slowly and gradually away. The large bodies of water are filling up little by little. Niagara Falls have worn back several miles through the hard limestone. This has been done very slowly, but the process is carried on day after day and year after year until the change can easily be seen. Even the plants and trees in nature teach us perseverance. When a tree is cut down, its roots send up shoots which persist in growing and filling the place of the destroyed tree. The Scottish people are known for their perseverance. It was this spirit which set Walter Scott to work when sinking into his later years, to overtake his fearful loss of 100,000£. Other men have taught us lessons in perseverance. The world’s history is full of those who have had to tight from beginning to end for recognition. Cory the great missionary, began life as a shoemaker. The chemist Vanquelin was the son of a peasant. Cook the navigator and Burns the poet w ere day laborers. Ben Janson was a bricklayer: David Livingston was a w eaver; Sturgean the electrician was a shoemaker. Lincoln was the son of poor, ignorant people. He worked very hard for his education and persevered until he became a great man. At the battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington said: “Hard pounding, gentlemen; but we will see who can pound the longest.” Wellington certainly must have pounded the longest, even if it was hard pounding. In the case of the individual perseverance lias played a large part in bringing about success in life. Much is said in these days about genius and talent. Much more depends upon an active perseverance than upon genius. Oft- en times the man who makes the greatest success of his life is not the one who is a wonderful genius, but the one who makes haste slowly and perseveres. Often there is much to hinder and one is apt to think that everything is going the wrong way. Burke said: “Never despair; but if you do, work on in despair.” The school is a line place to learn perseverance. Tlie student should be led to see how success in study depends on perseverance and how often as the fable of the hare and tortoise tells us, patient and unremitting effort defeats mere superiority of natural talent. “Sticktoitiveness” is often mentioned as one of the most essential conditions of success. Many people fail and wonder why they have not the good luck in life that others have. Emerson says: “Good luck is only another name for tenacity of purpose.” The man who succeeds in the business world is the one that selects his trade or profession carefully and then sticks to it through thick and thin. What sort of business man is it that is pointed out to younger people, as a model? The one that is always changing from one kind of business to another? No, it is always the man who sticks to his profession. It is he, that is pointed out to young men and women as a good example of success. Perseverance will also make friends. The person who is persevering and energetic will soon make friends. He who sticks to his business and tries to “make good” will always have plenty of faithful friends who will be ready to help him out in time of need. The man w ho toils on against every obstacle and does not falter, and whose motto is “Excelsior,” has the confidence and support of the successful men in the business world. Perseverance will not only make friends, but it will make favorable circumstances. It is cowardly to be always complaining that circumstances are against us. If these adverse circumstances come up against a strong resolution to go ahead in spite of them, things will change. Opposing circumstances often create strength both mental and physical, for opposition gives greater power of resistance. After one obstacle has been pushed persistently out of the way, the next one that comes along may be overcome much more easily. “I hold a doctrine, to which I owe not much indeed, but all the little I ever had, namely, that with ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable.” Athlrtirs BOYS’ BASKET-BALL M. D. KI7.ER, COACH he basket-ball season opened with a rush, when the team defeated Etna Green by a 32-5 score. The blue and white boys, encouraged by the score then began earnest preparation to meet the other teams. Sharp and Johnson as forwards, Wysong at center, and Warner, Hartsough and Coppes as guards formed a very effective combination. In the next three games, the Pedagogues, Atwood, and Etna Green were defeated by large scores. The game with Bremen on Thanksgiving day was marred by some disputes which were finally settled in Nappanee’s favor by the State Board. On the following Friday night—Dec. 13—came the game of the season in which the blue and white triumphed over Rochester by 32-28. At the end of the first half the score stood 18 to 10 in Rochester’s favor; hut in the second half our team, by a rush, caged the hall seven times to next game, and then lost the return game at Rochester. Mishawaka was the next rival in a hard fought battle on Mishawaka’s floor, which resulted in a victory for them by a score of only 21 to 18. The failure to secure a return game with this team was regretted very much by both the teams and the fans. The next game which was at Albion ended in a defeat, but as it was played after spending three and one half hours in getting there and the score was rather even, no apologies are needed. The game with Goshen was played next and despite the handicap of a small floor and Sharp having to quit on account of injury resulted in Nappanee’s favor. The follow ing game with Bremen was lost by a single point in playing off the the tie, as was also the game with Plymouth. The next game—the return game with Goshen was won by the largest score of the year—51 to 11, boys’ basket-ball team Hartsough, Coppes, Warner, Berger. Sharp, Johnson. Wysong, Ki .er (coach) Rochester’s once, and earned five points from the foul line while their opponents pitched eight free throws. This victory w as appreciated more when Rochester later defeated South Bend and tied Wingate at the State Tournament. The next game was the undoing of our team. The slippery dancing floor on which they played at Plymouth brought defeat by a heavy score. This was soon forgotten however, as the team defeated the Mentone quintet by 36 to 25 in the w'hile Atwood was again defeated 39 to 12. The return game with Albion was lost after playing ten minutes overtime by a single throw, but recompense w'as gotten in the next two games; one with Etna Green, and one with the Atherton Club of Elkhart: both victories for Nappanee. In conclusion it may be said that the members of the team worked faithfully for Nappanee and deserved the loyal support of the student body.

Then the subject was brought up to have in our schools basket-ball for the girls as well as the boys. The Keller rink was secured and practice begun on Tuesday and Thursday evenings after school. The following girls reported for practice: Freshmen—Alice Nold, Mary Mutschler, Mary Price, Dorothy Stoops, Beatrice Doswell, Mildred Freese: Sophomores— Wilma Terwilliger, Pauline Teeter, Beatrice Gentzhorn; Juniors—Lucile Yarian, Marie Burbacii, Lucile Teeter, Ursie Silberg, Jessie Dunn, Blanche Blosser, Bernice Lehman; Senior—Frieda Price. Practice was not begun in earnest until after the holidays when the girls set to work learning the rules and how to handle the ball. Several games were played with outside teams, in each instance the Nappanee girls were defeated. But at all times did our girls show the true athletic spirit which was commendable. Those that made the team were center, Blanche Blosser: second center, Alice Nold; forwards, Jes- sie Dunn and Dorothy Stoops; guards, Mary Mutschler and Beatrice Doswell; sub.. Lucile Yarian. This was the first year for girls’ basket-ball in our schools. VVe have just made a beginning. What we wish to do next year is to have more of the girls out for practice, so it will be possible to have class teams and at the end of the season have a series of interclass games. So let us have a larger number out for practice next season. Come out and practice and help us have a team worthy of the Nappanee High School. We as a whole have spent many happy hours in the homes of our different members. Our bright faces illume the whole assembly room and everyone seems so happy and industrious that we may lay a just claim to the reason. Our First Attempt When we were little and green Freshies we were first called upon to respond to the pressing invitation given by Miss Louise Knoble. She is no longer in our midst but we still remember the dainty luncheon of ice cream and cake. But, dear reader, do not think that all we did was to eat ice cream and cake, O! no, we played games and sang and chatted. We really did very well for our first attempt. Quincy Brown s Home We came back to school the next year as Sophomores with our usual diligence and pride. One day Quincy decided that he wanted to have some company and acting on this impulse extended his invitation to his comrades who accepted heartily. It was a fine moonlight night that we rode, not a little crowded, to Quincy’s home in Gravelton. There we were royally entertained and played many amusing games. We started home at an ample time and nearly made the horses dance to our melodious music. How we all grieve to think that we never again can enjoy ourselves at Quincy’s for he has decided that a single life was not enough for him. Lloyd Johnson Now “Bud” did not want the merriment to lie kindled low after so good a start so he took it upon himself (or rather his sister)? to “have us down.” After we did everything—possible and impossible—we told ghost stories and went home in a frame of mind similar to that of Ichabod Crane when he passed through Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Newton Kensinger It was about at the close of this remarkable class of thirteen’s Sophomore year that Newton felt the need of a little enlivenment. When the hairs about our temples are white we will still remember the grand time we had and the delicious lunch that was prepared for us. “ The Reception The word “reception” brought to our hearts a pang and throb of fear. As Juniors we could not help looking forward to it as something to be dreaded and feared. But now that it is past we think of it as the brightest and most successful of our social affairs. The Seniors were entertained at the home of Dr. and Mrs W. A. Price on North Madison street. Two Juniors were stationed at the door to receive the guests and plenty of music was rendered for their entertainment. A four course luncheon was served and red and white carnations were given as favors. The dining room chandelier was festooned with blue and white crepe paper and streamers extended from this to each corner of the room. The living room was festooned in the colors of the Junior class, green and white, while the parlor was decorated In the Seniors’ colors, red and white. Large boquets of red and white roses were artistically arranged on different pieces of furniture. The main attraction of the evening was “punch.” Special credit is due to Wilma for her success at entertaining our class to usher the New Year in. At twelve o’clock bells began ringing, reports of guns were heard and I suppose other mysterious sounds were audible especially to the ears of Miller’s near neighbors. Wilma has the honor of being our last entertainer and in years to come if we become overworked and worried or in a sorrow ful state of mind all we w ill need to sharpen up our spirits is to think and The Weany Roast It was a rare moonlight night in October That the Seniors sat by the fire,—so sober? They toasted the weanies and pickled the buns, While the moon looked on enjoying their fun. The New Year Party Look back to your days of thirteen When no other class could be seen, For we ran up the score Of parties far more Than all other classes preceding. 3nkrs Fisher—“To overcome his habit of stuttering, Demosthenes used to go down to the seashore, put pebbles in his mouth and talk to the waves.” Harvey—“Didn’t lie choke on those stones when lie stuttered?” 0 Teacher—“What is the plural of infant?” Pupil —“Infantry ” 3 A young country man and his sweetheart were sitting in a buggy, listening to the band play. A boy with a popcorn stand was near by. “My, but that popcorn smells good,” said the girl. “So it does,” said the young man, taking hold of the lines, “we’ll drive up a little closer so’s we can smell it better.” 13 don’t show when I’ve got my hat on.”—Pen and Ink. 3 Sunday-school teacher—“And as Elijah was standing on the brink of the river, a tiery chariot came and took him up into heaven.” Jimmy—“Aw rats! They wasn’t any aviators in them days.” 13 Squire Jones was the first man in his neighborhood to have a telephone. A few days after the “new phone” had been installed, he met Ills neighbor, a certain Dutchman, who inquired, “Can you talk Dutch through your phone or is it only an English phone?” 13 Uncle John—“You’re a pretty bad pill.” Bobby—“I ain’t either no medicine! Fisher (putting a record by Caruso on the talking machine)—“Now just listen to these masters (sing, • hey’re not afraid to let their voices out.” Clara—“Shoot!

Oh well, they 13 Fisher (in Physics)—“Can’t you hear out of your mouth as well as out of your ears?” Hess—“Can you taste out of your ears?” 3 Sunday-school teacher—“And God made Adam to sleep and took out one of his ribs and made the woman.” Small girl—“Did God give Adam chloroform?” 0 The old gentlemen heard a certain noise. He threw down his paper, opened the door to the parlor, peered out over his spectacles, and said, “1 know you kiss my daughter. I don’t like it.” Robert—“Then you don’t know what’s good, sir.” aV?

Thus, is the public educated on wrong lines. This shop endeavors to discriminate between good and bad printing—tries to show customers that good printing costs money. High grade stock, good inks, good material, andcompetentworkmen, are necessary to the production of high-class work and satisfactory results,- these are more expensive than in shops priding themselves on cheap printing products.
