The Senior Class 1915 ('lass History Rikta Keller History, broadly speaking, concerns itself with only the most important events of the human race. History of the world is largely that of its battles and the triumphs of the conqueror prove the survival of the fittest. The Class of 1915 lias been truly militant, having waged for four years a civil war, firing incessantly, aiming its grape-shot and bean-shooters and erasers at the faculty, school board, juniors and freshmen. Ther--have been rumors of duels among our own ranks and numerous deserters have been duly sentenced and shot in the back. Let us pass rapidly over the prehistoric epoc of our existance, when we were all monkeys and the semi-barbaric age when we were enveloped in the darkness of the grammar school, to the beginning of the Renaissance period which begun on the lltli day of September, 1911. On that day the green grocer wagon delivered at the door of the High School fifty bewildered freshmen, no cold storage product but the real thing, all green and guaranteed not to fade- Though a large number of our members have fallen by the wayside, and two out of that number having embarked upon their matrimonial career, we have inherited two heirlooms from other cities, so that we now have twenty-six. We are the largest elass to graduate from the Nappanee High school. In the beginning of our freshman year we were a little shy but as the time passed the shyness wore off. By the middle of the term we were an organized class. The first class in the N. H. S- to organize before the middle of the second term. John Metzler was our president, pink and green were selected as our elass colors with the Pink rose as the class flower, and we began to show the other students that we were “The Class That Does Things.” In the beginning of our Sophomore year we eeeted a new president in the person of Ward Coppes. During this year our class starred in basket ball. Soon another vacation had passed away and we became Juniors. The triumph of this year was the Junior Reception. Long had faculty and the Class of ’14 looked forward to the ’15 Junior Reception. Our reception was unparalelled by that of any other Juniors. The social functions of the class have been many and delightful, (’lass parties in town ami sleigh-ride parties and weenie roasts in the country. Early in our Senior year we held a class meeting and selected our class pins. Later we held another meeting and selcted our elass play- The meeting habit was becoming a chronic Senior disease In one of our attacks we decided that the girls should graduate in white sailor suits, with blue eolars and red ties and the hoys in navy blue suits.. We bear the distinction of being the first elass of the N. II. S. to graduate in this manner. We are giving two class plays, ‘‘At the End of the Rainbow” and “The Royal Highway” and publishing an annual. No history is complete without its chapter on Hero-Worship. We have won much honor and praise in basket ball and from this field we are taking with ns Ward Coppes, Clarence Branson and Joe Kaufman. And now we say “Farewell” to the N. II. S. and each one of us goes forth to battle with life on broader fields and to overcome obstacles which our education has prepared us to meet. But mav we all look back with fond remembrances to the Class of 1915 and its happy days in old N- II. S. Class Poem Beatrice Gentziiorn O! our dear old Nappanee High School, ’Tis to you we point with pride, As at last our studies are ended And life’s doors are open wide! Now the time has come for parting Memories come thronging near; Thoughts of all our old Transgressions— The reports we used to fear. We remember our demerits; How they brought us pain and woe; And our low toned recitations— Of the things we didn’t know. We as Juniors behaved like Freshmen, And as Freshmen behaved like sin; And our Parents used bad language; When our Sophmore grades eame in. True! we disobeyed our teachers. And broke some silly rules, Still we think our N. II. S-, Has it on most other schools. Soon we’ll build another High School But memory still will keep alive Joyous days in the old building, For the class nineteen-ten-plus-five. We will let the sophs and Fresies Have the building, new and clean; ’Cause we’re forced to leave the shelter Of the old in ’ten fifteen.

We hold these truths self evident: That Sophomores are human beings with an appetite for study (?), sleep and fun, That these appetites are born with them not to be crushed out by the antagonism of upper class-men or by the assignments of the Faculty. Through a course of premeditated cruelty and torture we have retained, at least, the ability to recount our misdemeanors of which we are often unjustly accused, trusting that the future generation of students may be spared the debasing etfects of a slave-driving system hypocritically called Education. Art. I. We object that some of the students should waste their artistic ability (?) destroying school property Art. II. We grumble because we have always been hard-pressed by the majority of the Faculty although Mr. Manwaringlias remained our guardian angel. Art. III. We grumble because many of our “notorious characters” have not been appreciated: namely: Leslie Wilson, Nellie Ipe. and Esther Slabaugh, basket ball stars: Francis, our English dude: Zae, our bashful Irish lassie: Howard, our lunatic and Chas. Elias, our comic editor of the “Yaller Yap.” Art. IV. We grumble because the Juniors endeavor to monopolize the candy trade of Nap-panee. Art. V. We grumble because the “Freshies” are too bashful to mingle with the upper class-men. Art. VI. We grumble because the Faculty areobliged to help the Freshmen in their financial alTairs. If we had any more grumbles to grumble we would grumble, we would! we would! By Jinks!

Few country villages, however, have been able to make substantial progress beyond the status of the rural country store. They have depended entirely upon men, and their natural advantages have remained unsuspected until some energetic, foresighted, untiring men have brought them to light. The city of Nappanee is one of the exceptions where men made might in the absence of some of these things which are usually the first essentials in the building of commercial and manufacturing centers. Like pioneers, who transformed the country where forrests stood into waving fields of ripening grain, the early builders of Nappanee paved the way for those who came after them to enjoy the blessings of a great manufacturing and commercial center. Nappanee was laid out in November. 1874 by John Culp, Henry Stahlv, and Daniel Metzler- It was surveyed by George Ager. the county surveyor at that time. The city is situated in the southwestern part of Elkhart County, on Section 36, of Locke Township and on Section 31 of Union Township, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The name of the city was taken from a town in Canada. The first building in the place was erected as a passenger depot. In a short time a post office was established, then Rickert and Company opened the first store. In the spring of 1877) a hotel was erected and thrown open to the public. It became known as the Nappanee House. The first drug store and the first drygoods and grocery stores were established. That year C. D. Volkman opened the first blacksmith shop and Joseph Strohm organized a Starch Box factory and planing mill. Later the proprietors of this factory became J. C. Mellinger, John and Frank Coppes- The first birth and death that occurred in the town was that of an infant son of James D. Lake. The first marriage was that of John Coppes and Melinda Strohm in 1878. Thus began a town which was destined to become something more than a mere railroad station. Numerous other business houses were soon under process of erection and a great many laboring men flocked to the town to seek employment. In a short time the town began to improve rapidly. In 1877 Hartman Brothers store was established. It then went by the name of Hartman and Brothers- In 1881 the creamery, poultry and egg establishment of George Freese’s Sons was built, preceeding the organization of a furniture factory and many smaller concerns. All employed quite a little army of men, many of whom were married and who at once began to buy and build homes for themselves and families. They are now the pride of this sprightly city, and their homes beautify it. A casual glance at the commodious private dwellings all around Nappanee will convince the visitor that less than two per cent of the householders here are renters. This speaks volumes for the industries of Nappanee which arc paying decent wages to their employees. By this happy combination of circumstances has Nappanee continued to grow from a little village to an incorporated city in the short period of fourteen years- Her incorporation as a city took effect in the winter of 1888-!). Schools, churches, hotels, first class business houses and several of the finest manufacturing industries in the state of Indiana having been established here within that time. Nappanee is a clean city morally, socially and religiously. A city with beautiful shaded streets and well kept lawns, with many handsome homes and more miles of cement sidewalk and paved street than any small city in the state and with its creditable business houses and hotels it is a desirable city to live in. It is a city where farmers caii sell produce, grain and stock, and buy from merchants who carry up-to-date stock of goods in all various commercial lines, as well as, building material and wholesale manufactured products. A city with eleven churches, Sunday schools, good public schools, places of amusement, a city of industrious and sober mechanics, of public spirited citizens who work together unselfishly to improve the community in which they live- Nappanee is a city with all the modern benefits of banking, of railroad, of telegraph, of telephone, electric light and water works, and pure water. It is a city with many large fraternal and insurance orders, and courteous, well-read professional men. Nappanee is a city in the midst of the most fertile farming region in the middle west, where crops can be and are so varied that a total failure or “farmers’ famine’’ is unknown. The farmers own beautiful homes, well nourished lands and enjoy all the privile. ges of city life and yet are in touch with the health-giving influences of the country. A city located in the center of the great onion lands of the state; a city the youngest in Elkhart County, Indiana, yet third in size and importance commercially and politically with a population in the year 1915, just forty-one years after the first plat was made, of 2800 souls. The city of Nappanee is at the present time governed' by a hoard of four trustees, elected by the people of the entire corporation- Likewise it is provided with a town-clerk, marshal, night-watchman and treasurer, who are elected by vote of the people. The puplic schools are governed by the school board. The board of trustees also constitute the board of health, who choose a local physician as a secretary to look after general health-giving influences as against the health-destroying influences. The town-elerk is also water works and light superin- tendent and the marshal acts as street commissioner. Usually the first question asked about a city by one who wishes to bring up a family therein is: “What is tile character of its schools?” Nappanee is proud of its educational facilities and for the past ten years Prof. (’. F-Miler at the head of the schools with a competent corps of teachers numbering sixteen at the present time, has successfully devoted his time and energy to promoting the educational facilities of Nappanee’s schools. In the Nappanee High School, at the present time, we have a four year course consisting of work in English, Mathematics, History, Science, Latin, and German, Bookkeeping, Commercial Law, Commercial Geography, Manual Training and Domestic Science. During the history of the High school there have gone forth from its hall 216 graduates. But the class of 1915 is the largest that has ever graduated from the Nap-panee High School. The churches of Nappanee are all Protestant, the Methodist Episcopal, the Mennonite, United Bretheran, Amish Mennonite, German Baptist, Progressive Bretheran. Evangelical, Lutheran, Saints, Presbyterian and Dunkard Brethern Churches. Nappanee has two weekly newspapers: “The Nappanee News” and “The Nappanee Advance.” There is also in Nappanee a good band; basket and base ball teams. Also an amusement company, which has clmrg of the Auditorium and Theatorium. Another source of amusement is the roller skating rink. Besides these things we have a better equipped post office than any city of this size in the state. Nappanee is rapidly increasing in population and improvements and it is difficult to surmise what is yet in store for the citizens of this city. (iet an Automobile Lowell LaMar Blosskr Eagles live to be a hundred years old and older. Fresh air does that for them. The automobile will do for you what the eagle’s wings do for him. Get an automobile. Now is the time to realize that the marvels of automobile building and using are only beginning. You can buy an automobile for $5,000 and it will be worth every cent of the money- You can buy for $500 or less an automobile that would be worth $5,000 if it could not be bought for less. Where thousands of automobiles have been sold, tens of thousands will he sold. Whoever talks of national automobile ex- travagance might as well talk of railroad extravagance. We need automobiles as we need railroads. Railroads have cost the country thirteen thousand million dollars for construction alone—and scores of thousands of millions for upkeep, and they have been cheap at the price. We need more railroads. Automobiles are cheap at their prices, and we need more, millions more- This country needs a machine for every one of it’s six million prosperous farms. The machine will make every one of these farms more prosperous, saving the farmer’s time, leaving the horses for slow farm work, giving the poor wife a chance to stop drudgery, making the young man content to stay on the land. Every one of our millions of farmers needs a car and will have it. Every little business man, plumber, butcher, baker, needs and will have a ear. Why talk of the “end of the automobile boom” when there is no boom, when any sane man can see in the country now five millions of citizens without a car that should have one and could use it economically? As well talk of the “electric light boom” or “gas boom” as of an automobile boom. The motor has helped men to conquer space; it is here to last forever. Your kind of a car is ready for you. You can take your family twenty miles with twenty cents worth of gasoline. That is cheap enough. A car decently cared for will run one hundred miles for very dollars worth of the purchase price. And it will save easily more than it’s cost in actual time saving, even if the owner’s time is not worth more than three dollars a day. Then get the car. Vanity is foolish, but the automobile has nothing to do with vanity or show. A family can save what the automobile costs, if it must save. You can save. Go to fewer theatres, buy fewer magazines, stay at home and save. It may mean months of drudgery but wll be repaid with years of happiness. With a small car, the busniess man may live in the country more conveniently than in the city. The car takes him to his work, or his suburban train- It does all the errands for the family. The wife can run it. It takes the children to school. In hot summer weather it makes a lakeside home of the little house fifteen miles from the shore, three-quarters of an hour in refreshing swift moving air, a bath in the lake, the ride home and all tin- family’s happy. This it just one thing the cheap motor will do among a thousand things. There are several small cheap cars on the market which are genuine two-passenger automobiles of light weight and low upkeep, well-designed and well built, embodying standard motor car features and produced by sound, stable, well organized companies. These cars are hard to discriminate as to appearance, power and companies backing them- I will describe the average, cheap, light car. These cars are to answer to the insistent demand for a low priced car that is not only good but good-looking. They are big cars for their price, with 96-inch wheel base, standard tread, ample leg room, generous doors. There is nothing skimpy or cramped about them. Molded oval fenders, tapered bonnet, streamline body, graceful, sweeping curves makes this car a delight to the eye. They are amply powered, having high speed motors of the four cylinder type with large reduction in the rear axle, affording great pulling power and great flexibility. These cars show up wonderfully in action through mud and on hills- Their average speed is from five to forty-five miles per hour and this high speed for such small cars is obtained without unpleasant vibration or jarring. Standard motor car features. What are they? The essential ones are the four cylinder motor, which is water-cooled; the progressive sliding gear transmission; the dry plate or cone clutch; the shaft drive with concentric torque tube; the semi-floating or full-floating rear axle, usually with sturdy pressed steel housing; the drop-forged, heat-treated axle and the standard type of steering gear. In all these features these cars use the same type of construction as is used in (mrs costing all the way from $1,000 to $3,000. The materials are thoroughly high grade. But why are they sold at such a low price which is from $375 to $495? There are two principal reasons why several firms can sell these ears at such a low figure. First the ears have been designed from the very beginning with the idea of building them economically- Second, on account of business organizations and capital backing them they are able to purchase for cash and utilize their materials to the best of advantage. Their engineers have done something absolutely remarkable in the way of designing a car of thoroughly high quality for economic manufacture. For an example of economy, the majority east their crankcase all in one piece. Whenever possible, as in this case one part is made to do the work of two or even three, thus saving material and labor, and securing lightness. Drop-forgings an; used instead of castings and machined parts. Another instance of economy is that the transmission and the axle, are as a rule built as a unit, again saving material and labor-The bodies, the floors, and the luggage boxes are being formed of sheet stampings. The subframe for the motor and the pan are usually stamped in one piece. Water pumps are eliminated by the thermo-syphon system or the system of self-circulation of the water caused by the heat of the motor. These cars are so designed that they are simple to make and simple to put together, thus reducing the labor cost of assembling. All these savings have made possible the unexampled price and extraordinary quality of the light cars. All for your savings will make possible extraordinary happiness for you. Get an automobile- If The NimmI and Character of I nilnsl rial Induration Elmer Yoder The purpose of education is and should he the developing of the powers and talents of the individual toward making him a useful and effective citizen. The purpose of education now, remains unchanged from that of the past, but the method is necessarily different- In order to fit the individual for modern society, the need of Industrial Education has become apparent. Where should industry be taught? It should not be taught in Professional Schools, since there are those who are unable, because of financial circumstances, to leave home and take an industrial course at College. We must not forget that Industrial Education is not for the youth who goes through the secondary and higher educational institutions and enters the learned professions, but for the thousands who leave school at an early age and thus are fitted for any vocation in life. The boy, who stays in the school until he has completed the secondary course and who enters the field of industrial efforts, finds his academic training has not fitted him to enter any of the industrial fields except on the lowest plane. His hand is unskilled in the use of tools, and his mind is not trained to think in terms of practical things, and constructive processes. 11 is opportunities of employment are limited, lie must begin at the bottom, and his path of progress is slow at the best, unless he has the opportunity of an industrial education- There are many who claim that the elementary and secondary courses of instruction are already over-crowded, and that there is place for nothing more. If we grant for a moment that this statement is true, it has no bearing as affecting the large number who have already left the school and who need this industrial education. That the courses of study are over-crowded is unfortunately true; but that is no proof that they are necessarily unnecessary. The crowding is due to the great mass of non-essentials that have found their way into the school curriculum. The proposition to find a place for industrial educational value, not so much of the subjects, as of the phases of the subjects and of the methods of instruction. Nothing short of some such necessity is likely to bring about this result. The unwillingness to displace anything in the curriculum, in order to make place for industrial education, is due to a lack of appreciation of the idea that there is any other stimulus for mental activity than that found between the covers of a book- industrial Education, if it is to be valuable for the great mass of youth who need it, must be offered under the conditions that meet local necessities. This will mean in one place the trade school at night or during a portion of the day for those already engaged in industries. The continuation school will vary in its aims and scope according to the conditions it is to meet. In one place it will devote distinctively to the development of skill in trade processes; in another, to a study of the theory under-lying the trade processes; in another, to a combination of the two; in e fourth, to dealing with those portions of ti., general elementary school course of most value to the students. The trade school too, will vary in itsi type. Under one set of conditions it will attempt nothing more than the teaching of processes; in another, it will combine with such teachings a teaching of theory underlying the processes; and in another, it will combine, with the teaching of the processes, general phases of educational work that may be made to appeal to the student as a necessary part of their equipment. But when we have provided all these different types of schools devoted chiefly to furnishing facilities for bettering conditions in the manufacturng world, we have onlv begun the solution cf the problem- The same necessity for Industrial Education exist in the agricultural world; but in this instance the industrial course must be of such a nature as to benefit this part of the industrial field. To sum up: Industrial Education must be provided with instruction of such kind, and of such extent as shall furnish facilities for those who need it for special instruction and training fit them for efficiency in the industrial world. I have undertaken to sketch an outline of what our leading educators conceve to be the character of Industrial Education when it finally comes to have its proper place in our educational system. They are aware that it is not all possible at once, but it is worth while to see the field in its entirety and to proceed wisely in the development of this work. It will mean many years of scheming before it may be realized in its entirety, but they believe the American people will be satisfied with nothing else. Household Economies Beatrice Gentziiorx “A man’s work is from sun to sun, But a woman's work is never done.” The house-wife’s usual conception of Household Economics is Household Economies, meaning to her, only, the management of the household affairs as to expenses, while Iloushold Economics is a systematic knowledge of things pertaining to the home —Cookery, one branch of Household Economics, includes all that has connection to the nutrition of humanity; as—Food production, marketing, economic selection of food; the comparative cost of food in relation to season and food adulteration. It also includes a study of the chemical composition of foods and the effects of heat, water, acids and salts used in cooking and it teaches us the value of food according to health, age and occupation of the individual. A second branch of the Household Economics teaches us home sanitation: how to select a location for a modern house, howto plan the house, as to heating, lighting, ventilation, plumbing and decoration, and finally how to care for that house from a sanitary standpoint. In fact it gives us a fairly clear knowledge of the relation of all parts of the household, it is a study hitherto almost unknown, but a study, the basis of which, has existed from the beginning of human History, and the science of which has not yet, in any real sense, been given to the world- Have you thought what an important business home making is and why we need to make it a study? In this, the same as in all other professions, vocations or callings there is needed a general education. It is the aim of Domestic Science in schools to give practical help in solving problems connected with the household and to train for scientific home making. We are coming to believe that home making is a profession requiring training, .just as truly as does that of a doctor or lawyer. The house wife should learn that there is a right way of preparing food so that it may serve its purpose of nourishment economically; that there is a labor saving and labor making way of performing household tasks; that house work, if skillfully and rightly done, is not drudgery but an interest absorbing occupation second in importance to none; and that all this knowledge must come from study and practice. A girl will spend two years, at least, in fitting herself to teach. Is special preparation less necessary for home making? In studying household science and particularly in studying cookery, you will not only learn many interesting things, but you will find pleasure in the work itself- Because certain household duties seem difficult or unpleasant, is no reason for considering housework unworthy of attention. Only by treating house keeping as an honorable employment, and worthy of our best thoughts and skill, can we bring about conditions of health, comfort and happiness in our home. In every trade the worker has his tools close at hand and arranged so that every act will count for the rapid completion of the article. While man is thus eliminating time and making every stroke and step count, woman has not, except in a few instances, planned toward the same end. She still goes about her work in the same helter-skelter fashion, in spite of the fact that so much depends upon the smooth running machinery of the household. The life of the family and all it means to the race; whether we live or die and how we live or die are largely determined by household conditions. To the individual the condition of household affairs, means health and happiness stands as a shell in which the body must do its work, hampered and hindered if imperfect, helped and strengthened if wisdom has builded it- The home is the birthplace of every human being. We cannot afford to have the cradle of life in an inferior condition, else the life that comes out of it is inferior and defective also. What if there were no houses in which this home could be housed? As well unshell the turtle, unfeather the birds as to unhouse mankind. There is as direct a connection between the house and man as between the shell and shell-fish. Would it make any difference to you if you lived in a house painted pitch black inside and out, unbroken white or fire red? The house makes or mars its tenants far beyond our most impractical dreams. The house in which is located the home is not only the result of character but it determines character. It is so in all literature- The author counts the house the expression of the human soul that has planned it. Take “Mariana and the Moated Grange.” Why should she not be weary ? “With blackest moss the flower pots Were thickly crusted one and all; The rusted nails fell from the knots That held the peach to the garden wall, The broken sheds looked sad and strange Uplifted was the clinking latch; Weeded and worn the ancient thatch Upon the lonely moated Grange.” In 1’oe's “House of Usher,” the horror of it is in every inch of the fatal structure and the “House of Seven Gables” seems more alive than the gaunt form of its latest owner, poor old Hepzibah. This serves to show the unity of house and soul and the absolute dependence of one upon the other. Men and women leave college, having a full knowledge of the interior structure of a clam, what food it demands, and what living best developes him, but having only indirectly studied the human animal, it ways and rights. Dyspepsia rules with professors and students alike; air of absolute foulness is peacefully consumed by the most intelligent “How to care for the human body and its needs,” is apparently an unsolvable problem- Blank ignorance on all these points is accepted without the least thought of significance. The human animal trusts in instinct and providence to guide it right. What we need is a stronger home where love is lawT, and wisdom, not instinct, is chief ruler. “The house in which we live is a building of God’s, a house not made by hands.” This is the stronger home, and in that home must be seen all graces and gentlenesses in thought and word, that makes the happy illumination which, on the inside of the house corresponds to mornings sun light outside. Out of such homes will come no knaves, no tyrants, with such homes, the golden age is already dawning, as the new century opens hasten its steps. The Result (An Allegory) Mary Mutbchleu It was in the depths of a great forest. The flowers and shrubs talked peacefully together in the eool quiet. Then gradually the rumor spread, “ War has broken out!” The gorgeous poppy growing in a sunny spot, tosseil its flaming head and cried, “1 am so bright and showy 1 The war will not harm me.” The great oak tree, monarch of the forest said, “I am so large and strong! The war will have no effect on me-” Nestling at the foot of the great tree was a violet. “I am so small and frail! Why should war wish to harm me?” A little apart stood a gnarled little cedar tree, centuries old. It cried in its quavering voice, ‘‘I am so old and feeble! War will surely spare me.” Near it a bed of exquisite ferns lift ' their graceful heads crying in unison. ‘‘We are so delicate and fine! War will not hurt us. ’ ’ The sturdy little fir tree said calmly, “I am so faithful and steadfast. War will pass me by.” A stately lily, white as snow said in her proud, cool voice, ‘‘I am so pure, and noble! War will pass me by-” Then the beautiful rose, her handsome head swayng in the breeze exclaimed, “So many have said 1 am attractive! I think war will not injure me.” And a cluster of bewitching little rosebuds chorused charmingly, “We are so young and small! War w ill want nothing of us.” •Just then a subdued roar silenced the speakers. Louder and louder it grew. Suddenly a long line of grey-clad men burst upon their sight. Soon all was noise and confusion. Under the great oak was stationed a mammoth howitzer- One young private said to another as they obeyed ani order to fell the cedar, “What beautiful ferns. It’s a shame to destroy them!” To which the other replied indifferently. “It's all in the game.” For hours destruction reigned. At last the crashing and thundering ceased. The army passed on. At sunset the forest depths were once more quiet. Hut what a change! The great oak was riddled and torn. The frail little violet had been crushed. The cedar had been destroyed and the ferns trampled to death. The top of the sturdy little fir tree was gone and the proud poppy had been torn up by the roots. The lily’s stately form was broken and the once attractive rose was now but a withered and blackened ghost of her former self. Alas! for the charming little rosebuds. They would never again raise their dainty heads-On the weak and the strong, the young and the old, the plain and the beautiful had fallen alike the crushing weight of war. Slowly the night cast her mantle of darkness over the War’s result. f- lr A Thanksgiving S «ry Josephine Lehman It was three weeks before Thanksgiving and I was the only turkey left of all my family. All ray brothers and sisters had died or had been packed and shipped to Chicago. This morning I heard the pretty girl who takes care of me, say to her mother. “There mother, is the only turkey I have left. This evening I shall shut him up and fatten him for Thanksgiving dinner.” I thought to myself, “O, you will, will you-? I’ll see about that.” and 1 decided to run away before morning- Of course I wouldn’t be there to be master of the barnyard, but nevertheless I would not stay to be killed and eaten by anyone, so about three o’clock that afternoon I set out. I decided to go on until I found the forrest. I had met a wild turkey once, who told me how pleasant it was to be one’s own master and to eat all the fat grubs one wanted. had said that my home and mistress were good enough for me but—1 have changed my mind. Soon I came back to the barnyard. I thought I would stop awhile and frighten the chickens; but I came out faster than 1 went in, for a large, fierce animal came barking at me. I was scared so badly that I ran for almost a quater of a mile- It was now about dark so I went into a small hut in a nearby grove for t he night. It was deserted. The next morning I awoke to find several men in the rear of the hut savng, “Well, here is one turkey to kill for Thanksgiving, if that is all we can get.” “I have heard they are quite scarce this year,” said another. I thought then that 1 must be a pretty valuable fellow if everybody wanted me but I resolved more than ever that 1 would live. 1 slipped out quietly and went on until I met a small boy. I was sroiug to walk past without hurting him but he started after me, so I flopped my wings in his face a little and gobbled- Next I found myself at the intersection of four roads but I did not know which one to take. I wanted to choose one that led toward the forest, so 1 scratched up some dust and took the one to my left. 1 had proceeded but a short distance when I heard a sound of distress. 1 peeped through a fence and beheld a man with an axe .just ready to chop off a turkey’s head-Filled with a greater horror and realization of what my fate might have been, I closed my eyes and ran. I was beginning to be very hungry for I had had nothing since yesterday except a few worms I had picked up on the way. It was now growing dark-I turned in at a farmhouse and was so tired I lay down to rest. I must have gone to sleep for I awoke to find myself in a pen and my old mistress saying, “Mother, my turkey has come back just in time, so we will have him for Thanksgiving after all.” As I am penned up I shall have to await my doom. The Young Detective LaMak Mutschlek Roger Vane was turning the corner of •Main street onto State street when he saw two rough looking men come running from the pasage which led from his father’s barn to the street. Almost at the same moment Roger obtained a view of a policeman hurrying along State street apparently looking for some one. lie thought nothing of the policeman but wondered what the two men were doing in his father’s barn which was also a workshop. So he hurried down the hedge-bordered lane and as he passed a bush, which hid the barn from view, he noticed that one of the large windows of the barn had been neatly cut out of its frame. This frightened him as his father was an inventor and had just completed plans for a powerful gasoline engine which weighed only one hundred pounds and was ideal for airships. Mr. Vane had been negotiating with the U- S. Government Areoplane Corps for the purchase of the engine, but France wanted the motor, too. Mr. Vane had left the plans in a secret safe which only he and Roger knew and had gone to Washington for a conference with the government officials. Roger’s mother being dead, he and his father occupied the medium-sized but modern house alone and took their dinners at a hotel about two bocks away. The city of twenty thousand people was very prosperous, had many factories, good hotels and stores and was beautifully situated on the Hudson River. When Roger’s father left lie had cautioned Roger to be careful of himself and guard the barn closely, for he had been warned that if France could not get the motor fairly they would use foul means. So, when Roger saw that the window was out of it’s frame he immediately connected it’s absence with the two rough looking men who had just disappeared- Hurriedly he entered the barn and went immediately to the workshop. lie looked in the secret hiding place; the envelope was not there and the plans were gone. Roger immediately got out his motorcycle and summoning a boy friend, who also had a motor cycle, they hastened to police headquarters. Here plans were hurriedly laid and it was decided that the thieves were the same pair who had committed several petty thefts lately and that it was they the policemen had been hunting. The plan was that the policemen should search the city while the two boys, armed with revolvers and mounted on their motorcycles, should go toward New York, one hundred miles distant, where it was supposed the robbers, would head for. Exactly fifteen minutes after Roger saw them the robbers started for New York, in a high-powered automobile which they had stolen. Twenty minutes later Roger and his friend followed them- The hoys knew that the thieves would take the shortest route to the New York wharves; they also knew that the thieves had a high-powered car, because the owner had reported his loss just before they started. So with good roads ahead of them the boys let their machines out and were soon going forty miles an hour. They rode for perhaps half an hour at this speed when they saw a cloud of dust ahead of them. Then suddenly Roger’s rear tire bursted; Roger immediately stopped his ma-chne. They wasted fifteen minutes valuable time in fixing it, then started at increased speed and soon came in sight of the automobile again. They noticed that it was slowing down and so they speeded up- They were about ten rods behind when the automobile stoppd—the engine had been flooded with gasoline. The men immediately jumped out of the car; the boys quickly dismounted, put their machines in the grass, crept up on the men and took them unaware. Soon they had them bound and in the ear- The boys found the plans of the engine and other valuables in a leather sack, under the seat of the ear. As they were about forty miles from home it took them a little over an hour to return. When they pulled up at the police station Roger’s father was there, also his friend's father anti the man who owned the car. Roger’s father was overjoyed at the safe return of the plans for he had sold the engine to the Government- The owner of the automobile wanted to reward the boys but they would take no presents, for, as they said, they were fully repaid by the honor the had received and the fun they had; had. 11)14-1915 M. 1). Kizkr, Coacii Tile basket ball season or 1914-1915 was one of disappointment. However the team was fairly successful since it was reorganized a number of times, three new players being added during the season and the positions of the regulars being shifted frequently. The season was opened early in the fall when the team autoed to Akron and played the Akron boys a tie game, l(i-16. The score was in dispute but the locals clung to ther own score and refused to concede any superiority to Akron. The line-up was: Tobias and Hoover, forewards; Kaufman, center, and Coppes and Branson, guards. After a week of prar-tice a game was played at Syracuse resitting in a clear victory for Xappanee, although, as the score indicates, 12-8, it was one of the roughest games of the season. November 20th Rochester was defeated here. This was the most important victory of the season, as Rochester is the champion of this district and made an excellent showing at the State tom • ney this spring. Thanksgiving afternoon before the largest crowd of the season Xappanee lost to Akron on their own Hoor. The locals were in the lead the entire game until the the last fe-v minutes, when Akron, aided by numerous fouls, forged ahead and the game ended with a score of 35-30, in their favor. The defeat of the return game at Rochester, Dec. 4th, was forgotten in the easy victory at Misha waka, 26-13. Syracuse was defeated here the following week, 40-7. Etna Green, the champions of Kosciusko county, were easily defeated in the next two games. These were the last games for Hoover and Tobias, who were compelled to retire from the team on account of illness. Price and Coppes were then placed at forward and Wilson placed at guard. Goshen, Elkhart and Milford successively were defeated in the following games. At South Bend, Xappanee started out with a rush and led at the start 8-0, but were unable to keep the pace and lost, 22 to 17. The following week on the home floor Lig-onier was buried under the score of 60-12. In the second game with South Bend, Price was placed at center and Mellinger at for ward and the team finished the season with this line-up. The game was a defeat for Xappanee, South Bend winning by accurate shooting at the foul line. Mishawaka was defeated the following week by the score of 26-24. The first half ended 13-5, in Mishawaka’s favor, but the locals won in the last half by very fast playing. In a rough and tumble fight, Feb. 19, Xappanee was defeated by Ligonier the score being 17-16. In the next game Xappanee easily triumphed over Goshen for the second time this season. Tin-last game of the season was lost to Elkhart at Elkl.art. 34-16. Besides the regular sceduled games, many gaums were played with the local City team. These games did much toward preparing tin-team for the scheduled games. One game was also played with the “Omars”, who were defeated to the scoie of 89-4. The “Omars” played good basket ball, but lacked endurance, team work and ability to hit the basket. Although six games were lost during the season, four of them were won by the opponents at the foul line. Xappanee should have an excellent team next year, with the three regulars. Price, Wilson and Mellinger, and numerous subs to choose from, Xappanee’s chances for 1915-1916 are very good. The following are those who were subs this year and who will undoubtedly furnish some of the material for next year’s team: Cline, Geyer, Anglin, Strycker and Hartman. WardCoppes, Capt.

(iirls Basket Ball Miss Lkaii Blue, Coach The girls basket ball team opened the season in a promising style when they defeated Mentone at Mentone, 10-5. The one great drawback to the success of the team throughout the season seemed to be the inability to secure a sufficient number of volunteers to practice with. In the game with Etna Green, Etna Green was crowded closely the full forty minutes and barely won by the narrow margin of two points. Probably the best game played, and also the roughest, was that with Warsaw, at Nappanee, Xappanee losing 3-10. The last game played was with the lady teachers of the High school and grades, the High school girls winning 8-3. The team consisted of the following players. Nellie Ipe......................

On the night of February 9, 1!)12, when he moon shone brightly on the sparkling snow, and the thermometer registered 8 below zero, a sled load of cold-faced but warmhearted Freshmen gaily rode to the home of Frank Thomas, nine miles south of our little city, to enjoy a class party. What a time ;e had? so much fun, and we did everything that Freshmen could think of! We are so glad we have a large country '‘population” in our class. Fare-Well Party. In our Sophomore year we lost one of our faithful members Pearl Masters, the evening before Pearl left our class forever, she invited us to her home two and a half miles in the country. We spent the evening plating games and cracking nuts. It was there we had our last joyous Reunion and our last sad parting, and al wished Pearl a happy and brilliant future in her career as a student of the Goshen High School. Halloween Party. As Juniors, life was becoming weary when Ward turned darkness into light by inviting the class to assemble at his home for a Halloween Party. Our spirits immediately revived and our hearts were happy again. It was a very “formal” affair. The girls were taken horn ein a “TAXI” drawn by about a dozen prancing Junior boys. Emer Yoder. One evening in April, 1914, the Juniors spent an enjoyable evening with Elmer Yoder, two miles north of town The trip was made between showers (also during them) The evening was spent by singing and telling stories. After a most pleasant evening’s entertainment we departed to our homes (between showers). Reception. The reception! How we looked forward to it! dreamed about it! planned for it! and built air castles about it!—Hut now it is a pleasant memory—a thing of the past! The reception was given in honor of class '14, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. II. E. Cop-pcs, the host being their son Ward president of class ’15. The drawing room was decorated in old lose and ash—class '14 colors; the reception room in pink and green, the colors of ’15. An excellent program was rendered, a three course luncheon was served at tables festooned with the class flowers. All reported a most enjoyable time. “Weenie Roast” Hersehell, thinking the Seniors needed a little recreation, suggested a “weenie roast” to he held at his home. It was a beautiful moonlight night and we rode seven miles to his home and then walked down a pretty lane to the edge of a wood. The boys built a roaring fire and soon all were roasting “weenies”, telling stories and playing many amusing games. Candy Party. On January 29, 1915, we gave Kenneth Whiteman a Surprise” (???) at his home on North Madison street. Everyone was ready to help make candy which became the center of attraction the entire evening.
