Rah! Rah! David Parks “And through the heat of conflict. Keep the law, in calmness made.” Dave is President of the Class of 1916. Very bravely lie has led us through four years of civil war. He is a good friend of all the bar- bers. lie played the title role in the Class Play, “His Excellency, The Governor.” Dorothy Stoops “The joy of youth and health in her eye dis- played.” To Dorothy was assigned the task of writing the ( lass Will. Her favorite (?) study is Lat- in. Sin has always taken an active part in class affairs. She played the role of “Stella” in the Class Play. Harold Price “A fig for care, and a fig for woe! If I can’t pay, why I can owe.” “Doc has nobly taken up the responsibility of the “Centennial”, serving as both Business Manager and Editor-in-Chief. His cheery war- ble is characteristic of him. lb was “Honor- able Henry” in the (’lass Play. 2X Mildred Freese ‘‘Hang sorrow, care will kill a cat, And therefore, let’s be merry.” Mildred is our official (’lass “Grumbler.” She likes (?) class meetings. She is the favorite (?) of Mr. Whitehead in History IV (?). Mil- dred’s merry heart has made her unusually well liked. Lawrence Branson “A lion among the ladies is a most dreadful thing.” Although Lawrence is our Sergeant-at-Arms, he has never had much occasion to exercise his authority. lie is a good student, with a taste for poetry and romance. In the lass Play, he took the part of the secretary, “Mr. Baver- jBtock.” Alice Nold ‘‘None knew thee but to love thee.” Though Alice is small, her cheerful smile and ready tongue have made her a prominent mem- ber of the class. She is a splendid' student, and on account of her elocutionary and musical tal- ents, is always in demand for programs. Harley Gey er 4'He was a man of silence.” Harley’s motto lias always been, “Silence gives consent”. History is his favorite (?) study. He acted as butler in the Class Play. Merle Strauss “He saw not half the charms, Her downcast modesty concealed.’ Although Merle has never had very much to say. she has always been willing to do her share in tin ventures of the class. Domestic Science employs a great deal of her time. Elmer Thompson “Then he will talk—Ye Gods! . How he will talk!” Electricity ? Ask Elmer, and hearken to the stream of information which flows from his lips, for he is an authority on the subject. To him was allotted the part of the sentry in the ( lass Play. Lloyd Hoover “A man of pleasure is a man of pains.” Since .Mike, one of our basket-ball stars, has been prevented, by illness, from playing this year, he has shown his interest by leading the V II. S. rooting squad. He was “Captain Livers' in the Class Play. Klva Sell rock (Jet money, still get money, boy; No matter by what means.” Klva, as class treasurer, has troubles of her own. She is dependable and has always been ■one of the best students in the High School. Cleta Prevert “How doth this busy little bee, Improve each shining hour? Cleta will be remembered in the annals of the elass as having given one of the few class par- ties which brightened the career of Class '16. She is a very cheerful and willing worker. Mary L. Mutschler “ He there a will, and wisdom finds a way.” Mary was chosen to write the class poem. She is Miss Kolbe’s “right hand man” in music. She is also our Valedictorian. She took the part of “Kthel” in the ( lass Play. Bernard I 'line I dare do all that may become a man, Who dares do more, is none.” Bernard is cartoonist of the “Centennial”. That he is oik of our best basket-ball players is shown by the fact that he was chosen guard on the all-district basket-ball team. lie took the role of “Captain Carew,” in the Class Play. Anna Welty “My mind to me a kingdom is.” Anna is our secretary and historian. The president’s standby as chairman of committees. She ranks high in her work. Mary Price “Forsooth lady, thou hast a merry heart.” Mary is the originator of the Class Prophecy. She has always been an apt domestic science pupil. She played the part of “Mrs. Went- worth Bolingbroke” in the ( lass IMay. Donald Anglin “What a mind was there”. Don has filled the position of guard on the basket-hall team with great credit to himself and the team, lie is a good student, especially in mathematics, lie appeared in the Class Play as “Major Kildare.” The Senior Class of 1916 Class History Anna Welty September, 1912, dates the memorable event when tin Class of 1916 entered the N. II. S., to take upon their shoulders the burden of a High School Career. Loud were the cheers of the other classes as we enter- ed the Assembly room, coming from the Eighth grade. The Faculty soon began to realize the worth of our talented, industri- ous class, which consisted of 32 pupils. As the days of our Freshmen year in- creased, our timdity toward other students and our diffidence decreased, and all were made to realize the sterling quality of ( lass ’16. During this year, we asked to organize, but because of the failure of such an attempt of preceding classes, our request was not granted. However, with the kind assistance of Mr. Kizer, we selected our colors, light blue and gold, and temporarily organized to carry on the immediate affairs connected with the close of the year. Our first year passed quickly, and we found ourselves in our Sophomore year, where we as a class, started the ‘‘ball roll- ing . During the first half of this year, we did nothing but study, night and day, and it surely may be said no class has worked harder to reach the height of attainment than the ( lass of 16. However, this monotony was broken by the organization of the class. During the first part of the second semester. David Robinson Parks was elected as President and Bernard I'line, Vice-President. Committees on dues, etc., were appointed and class affairs were easily managed. Then we had our first class party. This was at the home of Harold Price. The eve- ning was spent in the highest degree of merri- ment, all sorts of games being played, after which light refreshments were served. As Commencement drew near, prepara- tions were made and class yells practiced. At several of these practices, we were greatly disturbed by numerous members of the war- like .Junior and Freshmen tribes. The class was now able to shows its ability for defence in spite of its few numbers, for the class had by this time decreased to twenty three. Soon another vacation passed and we be- came Juniors. The first part of that year was spent in comparative peace, despite the ever-rising conflicts with Geometry. After our examinations were successfully passed, we prepared to give a reception for the Senior Class. The question then arose how to get suffici- ent funds to defray the expenses of entertain- ing our worthy superiors. The plan was pro- posed that we have a candy sale. This was done, and to the surprise of all, the amount cleared was almost double what had been ex- pected. Being encouraged by our first good fortune, we prepared for another sale, which, however, proved to be less successful from a monetary standpoint. The reception was given at the home of David Parks, our President. The house was decorated in our colors and with pink and yellow roses. An excellent program was rendered by members of the class, which made a very pleasant and enjoyable evening. Commencement again arrived and we were permitted to occupy the box for the last time on such an occasion. However, our number by this time having decreased to eighteen, it was thought best to slightly change the order of events. Therefore, the class made its appearance blowing horns and trumpets, which was followed by the loud cheers and applause of the audience. Thus the events of our Junior year closed. And now comes the most important of all —the Senior Year. The work was more interesting than it bad been before and all entered into it with zeal. On October 31st, the classes of 1916 and 1918, were highly entertained by a Hallowe'- en party given at the home of Cleta Fre- vert. On March 22nd, the Class Play, “His Ex- cellency, The Governor. ’ was given and was proclaimed the best that has ever been rend- ered In the N. H. S. It is now time for us to go forth into the world with determined purpose and brave hearts, remembering our motto, “No Day Without Something Done.” Class Pooiii Mary L. Mutsgiilrb Tis Spring, the world’s alive again. There’s gladness in the air; The twittering birds, the opening Mowers Proclaim it. everywhere. But ah, there’s sadness in it too, The day draws very near, When we shall leave old X. II. S. And friends and teachers dear. Our ('lass will scatter o’er the earth In their pursuit of knowledge, And work and delve industriously In office, home and college. Whatever we may rise to do, Whatever we may be, Those High School days of work and play Will live in memory. We’ve worked and studied faithfully, We’ve had a good time, too, We’ve laughed and sung, in fact have done Most things that students do. Our path has not been smooth always— We've quarreled our little share; Vet, on the whole our class can say, Dissension has been rare. And so there’s sadness in the thought, “These .joys will soon be o’er.’’ Though pleasantly the future calls With treasures held in store. We venture forth into the world To test our youthful powers, Equipped, we hope, for useful work By happy High School hours. Class Will DoRoniY Stoops We, the class of '16, of the Xappanee High School, Elkhart County, Indiana, being of sound mind and disposing memory, and mind- ful of the necessity of bestowing upon less fortunate individuals than ourselves, the large amount of valuable property we have accumulated during the past four years of our High School career, do declare this to be our last will and testament. There being no debts standing against us (?), we bequeath our real and personal prop- erty as follows: Item I. To Professor Miller, we bequeath a large number of class play texts, representing nine dollars and one cent ($9.01) (one cent war tax). Item II. To Mr. Fisher, the class unanimously be- queaths the Application and Deportment book with a box provided with lock and key which is now under construction in the manual training room. We sincerely hope that said box will be a suitable fortress against the invading enemy. Item III. To Miss Taggart, we will a dress pattern and a thimble, that future classes may be permitted the pleasure of indulging in sew- ing and conversation. Item IV. To Mr. Manwaring, we bequeath the task of training all future theatrical aspirants for Class Plays. Item V. To Miss Kolbe, we set aside twenty-six dol- lars and thirty-seven cents ($26.37 i. the in- terest of which is to be used in tuning the school piano at least every two years, so fu- ture choruses will not find it so difficult to keep in tune. Item VI. To Mr. Whitehead, we bequeath all the front seats in Room 3, for diciplining bad bays. Item VII. To Miss Guild, we bequeath our best wishes for her future happiness, in proof of which we leave her the British flag used in the ( lass Play, which was made with our own hands. Item VIII.

Blanche Xeher, Grace Smeltzer, Daisy Shively, Arthur Truex, Florence Walters, Hilda Walters International Arbitration is often consid- ered as suggestive of the time when nations will cease war with one another and when peace will reign supreme; or as the means of bringing a state of world peace into ex- istence. Arbitration may he a way of secur- ing peace, judicial settlement may be a bet- ter means of abolishing war, hut probably the use of both would be the most effective. If we consider the International Court, created by The Hague Conference as a court of arbitration and if we suppose that it thor- oughly meets the needs of arbitration, the question comes up whether or not arbitra- tion as understood and practiced, is the ul- timate goal for which we should work, or whether it is but a step to judicial settle- ment. •lames B. Scott of the John Hopkins ITiiversity and a I’nited States delegate to the second Hague Conference says that in fact, if not in theory, these two systems dif- fer, not merely in form but in substance; that certain classes of disputes should lie and can only be decided by judicial process and that certain questions can be better settled by arbitration than by courts of justice. He defines International Arbitration as the settlement of differences between states by judges of their choice and on the basis of respect for law. Judicial decision, on the contrary, is the decision of differences by judges, not necessarily chosen by the parties in controversy, and by application of prin- ciples of law. and not on the basis of respect for law. According to Act XX, of tin Hague Con- ference, the object of arbitration “Is the settlement of differences which it has not been possible to settle by diplomacy.” That is to say. arbitration springs out of diplo- macy, or takes up the settlement of a dis- pute, after diplomacy has failed. It, there- fore. as a rule, has the spirit of a compromise, which plays so leading a part in diplomacy, in it: and may not in the end give either na- tion concerned satisfaction, or may even be partial to one nation. Because of this fact, the establishment of an international court. composed of judges and lawyers from the d 'rren' countries whose opinions would not be biassed, and whose decisions would bo final, has often been suggested as a means for increasing the effectiveness of Interna- tional Arbitration, and the bringing about of a lasting peace to the world. .Mr. Elihu Root, who as Secretary of State, instructed the American delegates to the Second Hague Conference to propose such a court, did so in the following short speech : “The method in which arbitration can be made more effective, so that nations may be more ready to have recourse to it voluntar- ily, and to enter into treaties by which they bind themselves to submit to it, is indicated by observation of the weakness of the sys- tem now apparent. There can be no doubt that the principle objection to arbitration rests not upon the unwillingness of nations to submit their controversies to impartial arbitration, but upon the apprehension that the arbitration to which they submit may not lie impartial. It has been a very general practice for arbitrators to act, not as judges deciding questions of fact and law upon the record before them, under a sense of judicial re- sponsibility; but as negotiators effecting set- tlements of questions brought before them in accordance with the traditions and usages and subject to all the consideration and in- fluences which affect diplomatic agents. The two methods are radically different, proceed upon different standards of honorable obli- gation and frequently lead to widely differ- ing results. It very frequently happens that a nation which would be very willing to submit its differences to an impartial judicial determination is unwilling to subject them to this kind of diplomatic process.” From Mr. Root’s message, then, it is plain to he seen that one of the essential require- ments necessary in order that International Arbitration may reach its greatest point of effectiveness and accomplish the greatest good, is the organization of. or rather the creation of, an International Court; which should he composed of the best judges and the most competent and experienced lawyers of the different countries. This Court should give as impartial and impersonal judgments as those which the Suprme Court of the I'nited States give to the questions with which it deals; and should base its decisions on the statements and facts from the records before it. If such a Court were established. I believe that there is but little doubt but that nations would be more ready to submit their disputes to arbitration. Of course, only such questions and disputes as the nations themselves are not able to settle by diplomacy, should be submitted to such a court. Another thing that must be accomplished in order to insure the success of Inter- national Arbitration is that Arbitration must be made obligatory; or there are many eases especially those in which boundaries are in- volved, where nations really prefer to fight than to surrender any of their claims. At the present time. The Hague Confer- ence does not have the power to make arbi- tration obligatory; but it excepts nothing from the scope of arbitration, thus leaving to the different countries the choice as to whether or not they will employ it. Many treaties have been concluded for the pur- pose of rendering arbitration obligatory, but about the only obligation which they impose is the arbitration of differences of a legal nature or relating to the interpretation ot treaties. And so far, cases in which a na- tion’s ‘Honor, independence or vital inter- ests' have been concerned, have not, as a rule, been considered as questions which a nation might honorably submit to arbitra- tion; although both the I’nited States and Great Britain have often submitted such eases to arbitration, particularly the case ot The Alabama Claims which was successfully settled by arbitration at Geneva While Secretary of State. Mr. Bryan drew up a treaty which was signed by several countries. It provided that at least one year should elapse between the time, when a dispute arose between two nations, and the declaration of hostilities by one or the other of these nations, in this time the controver- sy was to be investigated by an international court, which should, if possible, suggest some peaceable way to settling it. During this time neither nation was to be enlarging either its army or navy unless endangered by a third party. As yet, this treaty has not passed the Senate. In the past twenty-five years, some diffi- cult and serious questions have been settled by arbitration, as in February, 1895, the case of Argentine and Brazil in regard to the title of Missions, was settled through tin efforts of the President of the I’nited States; and in 189:1, the Paris Tribunal ren- dered judgment between the I’nited States and Great Britain on the Bering Sea con- troversy. Judging, however, from the past two years, the outlook for a time when international disputes will be settled by arbitration, is not very bright. Few notable cases have been up before the Hague Conference: probabL the most notable is that of Portugal on one side, and France, Great Britain and Spain on the other. War has been almost continu- ous in the Balkan peninsula for the last three years: first, the allied powers against Tur- key, and then the same powers fighting among themselves. Mexico has long been in a state of revolution, and the present European war makes the time when disputes will be settled by arbitration and not by the sword, seem far away. It seems that one of the greatest factors for the bringing about of a time of Interna- tional Arbitration, is public opinion. If a world wide sentiment is created in favor of Arbitration, we would soon see disputes set- tled by it. for an enlightened public opinion is coming to have more and more force over a nations lawmakers. U The Movies Alice Noli� One of the most important questions now before the American people, from the tiniest “kiddie” to the wisest man, is that concern- ing moving pictures. It is of importance because of the part it plays in the life of the individual. It is of importance in its relation to art, science and education. Let us consider for a short time its history and development. In 1889, Thomas A. Edison invented a ee u- era for producing motion pictures which he called the “Kinetograph . It was not how- ever, until 1894 that the first picture play was given under the management of Alex ander Black. The idea was a result of hi.? experience in showing pictures in an illus- trated talk. lie seized the idea to choose characters “to illustrate a consecutive story”. lie thought that by taking a group of pictures “with the same setting, lantern slides might he made to register perfectly enough to give the effect of slow movement in the figures.” Previous to this time, it had been accomplished with short series and Ed- ison had been successful in enlarging the idea with much longer series in his kincto- graph. He had difficulty in persuading others, however, that such a thing might be done. The mechanical experts felt that the result would be too jerky to give an effect of real- ity. Moreover, it was believed that a dis- play of more than a few minutes would he too great a strain on the eyes. Others feared that the result would be “stilted and ab- surd.” However, Mr. Black did not give up an 1 as a result the picture play “Miss Jerry” was given before such an audience as, Wil- liam Dean Ilowells, Frank Stockton, Mar- garet Deland, Kdward Everett Hale and other distinguished writers. This play was quite a success and many believed that this showed, to some extent, what could be ac- complished, when Mr. Fdison’s kinetograph idea had been developed to its highest point of efficiency. But it was more than sixteen years later before full length plays in full motion began to be exhibited. The two brothers Lumierc of Lyons, in- troduced the “Cinematograph” in 1895. This was constructed on much the same prin- ciple as Edison’s kinetograph. While these discoveries were being made in America, the people of Great Britain were not idle. They were able to represent a galloping horse in 1818. Fifty-two years later, Mr. Friese-Greene had accomplished quite a great deal along this line. One of his first pictures showed a girl moving her eyes from side to side and one woman would not believe the reality of the pictures until she went up to the sheet on which the pic- tures were being thrown and touched the eyes. But the invention of the Cinematograph was not yet. There is always a forerunner to any great inventicn. For instance, “there had been reaping-machines before McCor- mick and telegraphs before Morse.” The in- vention of the celluloid roll film made the Cinematograph possible. Friese-Greene pro- duced a picture which greatlv resembled a film of today. Although it was only twen- ty feet long, it was a great success at that time. To quote Mr. Friese-Greene himself, “The Americans and Germans, particularly the Germans seized upon my invention, and working on it for all they were worth, soon left me with little but the satisfaction of knowing I had discovered something which marked an epoch.” As a result, we have the motion pictures of today; but we must remember that, as yet, it has only passed Horn its first crude stage. Today, there are comparatively few pco- l le not in eaqv reach of some motion picture theatre. That it is wielding an immense in- fluence is shown by several letters published recently by one of our leading magazines. These letters stated definitely some good that the motion picture theatre had done for a town—for an individual. One person states that the “movies” had been the means of causing her town to vote “dry.” Anoth- er speaks of a an inveterate drunkard who was raised to a position of respectful citizen- ship by their influence, and another mentions the “movies’' as a common basis on which to help and meet people, as they appeal to all—the “young, the old, the lame, the deaf and the dumb”—the blind alone cannot en- joy them. Moving pictures make otherwise dull facts interesting. Art, science, literature, history are given to us in a form easy to understand. There is nothing better for the man. woman or child who does not possess the means of travel. The wonders of the world are placed in his reach if he but cares to take advantage given him. Take such men as Lyman II. Howe, with his splendid educational pic- tures. Such men are doing untold good in our country year after year. “The ‘Movie’ is the poor man’s motor car, his trip to Europe, his grand opera.” Acccrdng to Billy Sunday, the moving picture shows are cleaning up the theatres. He has nothing to say against the theatre as an institution, but he does say that a big part of the great influence of the theatre is “rotten” influence. As a result, people who are beginning to tire of such conditions “arc leaving the theatre for the ‘movies.’ ” Mr. Sunday says further that he is in favor of the ‘movies’ when they are the right kind.” Today moving pictures are found in ev- ery civilized country upon the globe and ev- en in some half civilized countries. In Jap- pall they are known as the “Cinemato- graph” and in the Malay peninsula and In- dia by the shorter term “Cinema”. Many of the films in these countries por- tray scenes of American life. A native of one of these countries asked a tourist about the cowboys of America. He thought there were many of them in America and that “exhibitions of their skill, shooting up of towns” etc., were frequently seen all over our country. Another asked about train robberies, which he thought were a daily occurence. They could hardly believe that one could travel many miles over our coun- try without seeing a cowboy and without much danger of a hold-up. They had received their information from the “Cinemato- graph.” Everywhere the moving picture is a factor in the education of both the old and the young. Its first aim has been heretofore, entertainment, but it has also been a means of scattering information both good and bad. And much information found in the “movies” shows the worst to be found in this world, rather than the best. Not only are people in other lands apt to acquire incorrect notions from the moving pictures, but the people in our own country, especially children, are apt to get a wrong impression of life and to become so infatuat- ed with all that is sensational that their or- dinary life seems uninteresting . One of the foremost questions in the minds of the Amer- ican people today is how to avoid this evil. On the other hand, all moving pictures arc not intended for children. Neither is all literature. That this fact is realized is shown bv the fact that in a city of northern Illinois, placards were recently seen over the doors of several moving picture shows which read, ‘‘Children not admitted today.” An ordinance to prohibit children from the pub- lic moving picture shows was recently intro- duced in the city of Bombay, India, at the same time a plan was brought forward to give clean plays in the schools, for children. Likewise, in America men and women are asking for legislation against the “movies”. Bills are being brought before Congress ask- ing for the censorship of the film as it is be- ing placed before us today. The leading magazines are full of arguments for ami against them and many are putting lists of the best pictures before the people so that they may take advantage of them when they have the opportunity. In many of the larger cities, steps are be- ing taken to provide films especially for the young. Some picture shows make a special- ty of films for children. There is also a National Board of Censors, which criticizes about ninety-live per cent of the films produced in this country. It does not discard all films which are not produced for children but it does remember the fact the children under sixteen make up fifteen per cent of the “movie” audience. Its work is chiefly in preventing the manufacture of undesirable films. As a result of all this agitation, the film producers are being compelled to put out better films. “The screen play has made all the world a stage”. What could not this powerful agent, the moving picture, accomplish in bettering the condition of mankind, mental- ly, physically and morally if correctly man- aged? Certainly it would be an important factor in the moulding of the future Amer- ica for the young American of today is dis- tinctly under the influence of the picture show and he will be the man, the citizen of tomorrow. Another point to be considered is Ameri- ca’s influence through the ‘‘movie” upon the little foreigner in this, his adopted home. .Millions of them come to our shores each year .Many of them cannot read nor speak our language, nor can their parents. Nat- urally they turn to the “movie” for enter- tainment. It is one thing they can under- stand in a strange land. They can see be- fore they can speak and the “movie” speaks. What has it to say to these, who in a few years, are to become naturalized citizens of the Cnited States and help to make her laws? Shall the institutions of America be represented by vulgarity, crime and “all the vagaries of a low-toned and sensational order or by that which speaks of that which is highest and best in our upward striving?” Shall America stand as a light to all peo- ple in this thing, or shall she wait until some semi-barbaric nation sets the example? It is for us to say. The Modern Kitchen Mary Prick The kitchen is the workshop of the home for it is the room in which most housekeep- ers spend most of their waking hours. Hence it should be the lightest, airiest and the most cheerful room in the house. It is safe to say that much more attention might well be given to the matter of kitchen conven- iences than they usually receive. There are very few housekeepers, indeed, who could not, by intelligent forethought in planning and arranging the contents of the kitchen, save themselves daily, miles of useless trav- eling to and fro. Every woman knows that a bee line is the shortest distance between two points, and so common sense should teach her that stove, table and sink should lie as close together as possible. The fully furnished kitchen is an official recognition of the importance of good cook- ing to the nation. The health of the peo- ple and their intellectual attainment de- pends largely upon the place and manner in which it is prepared. The smallest detail with regard to the preparation of food,.or the convenience of the person preparing i , is therefore of the greatest importance. The great mass of American people are de- pendent upon the wife and mother of the family to do all the work of the kitchen. The I’nited States Government is now spend- ing thousands of dollars annually in study- ing the kitchen with a view to making this work easier as well as more hygienic. Two distinct types of kitchens are recog- nized by modern Domestic Scientists. One is a large room, serving as a dining room and family sitting room as well as a cooking room. The large kitchen is especially a feature of the farm house, because the serv- ing of a meal to large numbers of work- ing men, such as threshers, requires a large amount of space to prepare the food. In direct contrast to the large kitchen of the farm, in which many kinds of work are done, is the small kitchen, or the kitchen- ette. of the city apartment, which cannot be utilized for any other purpose than for food preparation. Various compromises be- tween these two extremes are found, but science favors a small kitchen in the average house for it is becoming more closely con- fined to its chief service of food prepara- tion. A large kitchen requires greater care in its arrangement, in order that no unneces- sary steps will be forced upon the house- wife. A college girl who had graduated in Domestic Science, came home for a vaca- tion before entering upon her career as a teacher. She took prompt notice of the ar- rangement of the home kitchen, a large sun- ny room built and arranged after the fash- ion of the last generation. The pantry was built on one side of the room, the dining room door on the other. The stove stood at one end directly opposite the sink. The re- frigerator stood against the wall about the middle of the longer side of the room, ami at least ten feet from the table. The mother had been doing most of the cooking herself. The collegian assumed charge with a view to improve the arrange- ment. She began to wear a pedometer to ascertain the distance walked each day in the kitchen. She found that during the first week, under the old arrangement, she aver- aged between five and six miles daily. She decided to lessen the distance between table, stove, sink and pantry. By moving the stove and table nearer the sink, she was able to reduce the number of steps taken for the same amount of cooking, to a daily average of less than two miles. This materially de- creased the amount of time for preparing and cooking a meal and also lessened the physical fatigue attendant. The kitchen is not a hermit's cell, but es- sentially the abode of the brighest spirit of the home, therefore should be plenty of sunshine and light. Windows should extend across one entire end of the room. The walls should be covered with a washable material. Paint is durable for it does not take up moisture, grease or dust. A bit of decora- tion might be supplied by a stenciled design. The same design might be applied to white lawn curtains of the windows which may be pushed together to shut out the glare of the sun. The floor of the kitchen should be giv- en attention in order that it be kept sani- tary. Inlaid linoleum, which is perhaps, all things considered, the most satisfactory floor covering, should be carefully placed under the mop board and in the corners. All kitchen furnishings should be selected and arranged to lessen the physical strain upon the woman using them. One side of the room should be devoted to built-in cup- boards which should extend from ceiling to door, thus prventing the collection of dust. They should be built with snugly fitted doors, to exclude impurities from foods and utensils stored therein. Cupboards should be so partitioned and shelved that the kitch- en motto “Drawers and shelves, shelves and drawers; a place for everything and every- thing in its place,” could be practically ap- plied. The “store shelf” would contain tin odds and ends or things not often used. This shelf would be out of the way but so placed that the contents would be at hand when wanted. The china and silver ware should be placed on another shelf. In the apartment for the knives, forks and spoons, grooves should be made in the wood to keep the silver in order and prevent it from be- ing marred. Two shallow drawers are more easily kept in order than one deep drawer. In these may be kept towels for drying and polishing glass and china, hand towels, various straining cloths and cloths for wip- ing meat. In the drawer, the housekeeper may keep all her aprons that one end of the cupboard may be divided into compart- ments for brooms and mops, a small step- ladder and an ironing board. A wire frame in the cupboard affords a place for pots and pan covers which should be placed in an up- right position, thus making it easier to make one’s own selection. The ordinary way is to place them in open racks against walls which are against sanitation. The kitchen sink is a very important part of the kitchen. In some expensive kitchens, sinks are made of concrete but an iron enam- eled sink is as serviceable as any. II' the sink he used for cleansing dishes, there should be a drain board on each side, which will provide a place for the soiled dish and also for the cleansed. A rubber mat placed in the bot- ton of the sink will serve as a valve to re- tain the water and will also protect fine china ware from breaking. In the past, sinks have been placed low but now they are placed higher for the comfort of the worker. A lit- tle cupboard built in above the sink will pro- vide places for soap, cleansing powders, sil- ver polishes and other cleansing materials. The kitchen table is a very important ar- ticle. It should be at a convenient height. Some of the newest tables, especially those of metal, can be raised or lowered by adjust- table legs. Where the old fashioned low wooden table must be used, it is suggested that it be heightened by placing a hollowed- out wooden block under each leg. These I locks will prevent the table from slipping. If the table be placed on rollers, it will les- sen the number of steps necessary to be tak- en between the stove and cupboard. It may contain a number of drawers with compart- ments. A valuable addition to the kitchen furni- ture is a high chair or stool of white enam- eled metal, which brings the worker closer to the table for rolling pie crusts, mixing cake or any other work usually performed while standing. The kitchen would be incomplete without mentioning the stove. Gasoline, kerosene, wood, gas and electric stoves may be used in the kitchen. Some housewives prefer one and some another, but the cleanest and most easily regulated are the gas and electric stoves. Care must be taken in making the range convenient. An elevated oven over- comes the necessity for stooping over to baste roasting meat or to attend to baking. Every woman wants a modern kitchen. The equipment of such a kitchen as I have described is not extravagant and it possesses the essentials for convenience and sanita- tion. It is easily kept clean and free, the ob- jection of being oppressively without strain or blemish which is made against white enamel. The best type of modern kitchen has charm as well as convenience, and does much to give to the important art of cook- ing, the dignity it deserves. f 'Lis Foul Play Zae Lehman The contract was made and signed. Mr. Trie, a lawyer of Mansfield, Ohio, had en- couraged one his clients, Mr. Kandell, to make an investment of a thousand dollars in an oil well, in the region of Beaumont, Tex- as, and Mr. Trie, himself, had also invested in a well not far away from the other. The fields were said to be new and good and there was every prospect of success. One morning, Mr. Trie received a letter from Beaumont, which stated that his well was dry but that the well of his client had struck it rich. ‘ This must not be,” thought Mr. Trie. ‘ I cannot afford to lose my money like this. Bet me see, 1 wonder if I could change those papers.. Yes, so I can, and easily too, thank goodness. Those wells are so far away from Mansfield that my man wont know anything about it.” So. Mr. Kandell was told that his well was dry, but that the lawyer’s well was in prime condition and that much oil was being drawn. Of course Mr. Kandell was sorely disappointed as this sum of money had been the savings of a lifetime. Several months had elapsed, when a sing- ular opportunity was offered this particular client to visit and look over the oil fields. After first seeing a friend in Chicago, he started from that place to the Texas oil fields. After the exchange at St. Louis, Mr. Kan- dell began a conversation with a gentleman just in front of him on the train. After an exchange of names, Mr. Kandell found that Mr. Hamilton was a very pleasant compan- ion and he entered into a lively conversation with him. “And how do you feel now, Mr. Kandell, with your little flood of silver?” asked Mr. Hamilton. “T live at Beaumont and happen to know the condition of your well. You will be a well-to-do man pretty soon.” ‘ How so, Mr. Hamilton? My well is dry; I have no prospects there whatever.” “Can you tell me the exact location of your well?” Mr. Randell readily complied, and gave his information upon which the other smiled and said, “Really you are mistaken, for that is tlie richest well in the vicinity.” And this was true, Mr. Randell’s well was rich hut that man did not know what to make of his lawyer’s report. So upon re- turning home, he sent to the company, which had leased the land to him and found from the duplicates there that it was really his well that was rich. Imagine the lawyer’s guilt when Mr. Ran- dell called and having explained that he had just returned from Texas, said In was sor- ry to say that the lawyer’s well was dry, hut that it was true nevertheless. “Look at the papers Mr. Trie, and see if I am not right. Let's compare notes, then for I have in my pocket a letter from the company. No harm whatever, Mr. Trie, only precaution.” Of course Mr. Trie was forced to acknowl- edge Mr. Randcll’s reports as correct for Mr. Trie had not remembered that there were duplicates of the transaction nor thought that his client would ever visit the oil delds and find out the truth. So it was settled be- tween them, leaving the lawyer disappoint- ed and punished; the client rich and happy. The Flight of Two Owls Wade R ingenuero It was summer but the east wind was blow- ing a cold blast. The wind set llepzibah’s teeth chattering as she and Clifford stepped from the old house of the seven gables. The elm tree in the front yard drooped, one of its branches hung downward, dead. Clifford and llepzibah walked up Punch- eon Street through the mud and pools of wa- ter. All through this queer adventure, Jlep- zibah kept murmuring, “Am I awake, am ! awake?” Soon they reached the railroad station and hoarded a train which was just ready to start. The signal was given, the train start- ed and llepzibah and Clifford were seated at the window watching the world go past them. These two simple people were not the on ly occupants of the car. There were as many as fifty others, some looking out of the win- dows, some with tickets in their hats, while others were reading papers and books. Boys with apples, cakes and candy and other mer- chandise went through the ear at every stop. This reminded llepzibah of her shop, desert- ed, in the Mouse of Seven Gables. “For the lady and yourself and how far?” asked the conductor. “As far as that will carry us,” replied Clifford. “We are riding for pleasure on- ly.” An elderly gentleman remarked that they had chosen a strange day for it. Clifford at once began to argue with the gentleman on matters not interesting to llep- zibah. When the gentlemen had become rather tired of the argument, the train stopped and ( lifford took advantage of the stop by pulling llepzibah after him out of the train and the flight of the two owls was over. Uncle George's Crochet Herbert Miller Fncle George had gotten it into his head that the young people of the twentieth cen- tury were all shiftless and addicted to spend- ing money. Why, he could remember when he was a boy, all he was allowed to do was to go to town once a month and visit the neigh- bors Sunday. Of course, he would go hunt- ing once in a while, but that was fun, and not to be compared to seeing cheap moving- picture shows and going to ball games. In his day the boys and girls could make a liv- ing without spending hundreds of dollars for an education. There was his wife, (aunt Mary), hadn't she saved his life when he had been shot while out hunting? How many boys and girls of today would have had the presence of mind to do anything? and they wouldn’t know what to do anyway. But unde George was destined to be sur- prised. About three month later, he was cut- ting corn and the knife slipped and hit him in the leg, cutting an artery. lie was alone and called for help, although he did not expect any one to come. If they did come they would not know what to do and they could not save him. But at his first call, he heard an answer and seven boys, clad in brown uniforms came trotting up. lie was almost fainting from loss of blood, but he roused himself when be heard the commands of one of the boys, “John, go to that house and call a doctor, Karl you get a pail of water from the spring.” “One of you rip his trouser leg from the knee down and another prepare a toumquet, while 1 hold the artery shut.” This was all done in a moment and the doctor came in about fifteen minutes. Uncle George was sick for a few weeks and he did a lot of thinking. One day lie called the Boy Scout patrol, which had saved his life, out to visit him. He told them that they might build a cabin in his woods and cut down trees and do anything they want- ed to on his farm. That is how he changed his mind about modern young people and now he thinks there are no people like “Mv Boy Scouts.” The Magic-Mirror Maky Piuce While musing in my study one evening, many strange thoughts came to me regarding the future of mv classmates. What we should be doing ten years hence. Ilow dif- ferent. the lives of the members of our class would be! What varied experiences they would have! Some might travel in distant lands, some stay at home, others be promi- nent in society or politics, some never heard of outside of their own village. Suddenly 1 heard a voice, a fairy’s voice, which said, “ 'I ou wish to know the future of your class- mates ’ 1 answered, “Yes.” The voice continued, “It is not well to seek to know the future; to know the future is given to lew, but you are one of the favored few. Come with me.” I was led through winding paths when I was suddenly confronted by a high wall of rocks. 1 was about to turn when a voice bade me enter into an open door in the rocks, in the middle of the cave, 1 beheld three be- ings seated upon thrones. “Are you the fates?” 1 asked, with trembling voice. “We are,” they answered. “For many years have we dwelt here. You are a favored mortal. What is your request?” The voice replied, “To read the future of her classmates of 1910.” The older of the Fates said, “He it so, follow me.” 1 was led through another group of passages. It was totally dark un- til my guide lighted a candle, I saw that 1 was in a smaller cave, at tin end of which was a large mirror. “This is the cave which conceals the magic-mirror,” said my compan- ion: “vender is the enchanted glass itself. Look therein and listen carefully.” Breathlessly I waited. A fire as kimPed of aromatic herbs and placed under the mir- ror and the candle was blown out. The mirror was now illumined brightly. Sudden- ly I saw a change in the mirror. 1 seemed to he gazing across a broad expanse of wa- ter when an object suddenly appeared above the waves and soon proved to he a I nited States submarine. As it neared, the captain appeared and prepared to anchor. As he did so. I recognized him as my former classmate, Bernard 1’line. Mv view was now changed to the hustle and hustle of the city of Xew York. The mirror led me through the apartments of a large building into the spacious Beauty Par- lor of Madame Freese. After this, I was led into the art studio across the way where Miss Frevert was busi- ly engaged with her latest picture, “The Sinking of the Adamton.” As I was enter- taining myself by viewing tin scenes upon the walls, the door opened and a messenger hoy entered to deliver a telegram from the Salon, Paris, stating that they desired the last production as soon as completed. Once, twice! I made to glance at the signature of the wireless operator which i finally made out to he that of my former classmate, El- mer Thompson. Again the scene changed. In a quiet study sat Mary Mutschler. who had entered upon her poetic career. Several volumes of her poems lay on the desk, and she was prepar- ing another. This vision faded. I saw a large and bril- liantly lighted hall, filled with an apprecia- tive audience. The speaker, Lawrence Bran- son, held them in a spell. His exortions re- garding the benevolent work of the Bed Cross Society were very effective. The na- tional president of this society, Alice M. Xold then arose and explained the details of the work. As a result of the work of these il- lustrious leaders, many began to aid and as- sist this society, foremost among which was tin- governor of Indiana, Donald Ward Ang- lin. The scene was now changed to beautiful terraced gardens overlooking the Thames River. In the back-ground loomed the me- dieval castle of Duke St. Albans. Present- ly' a tall, graceful figure was seen roaming about the vines and bushes and finally seat- ed herself upon a bench nearby. Xot until now di l I realize that this position of rank and wealth had favored Merle Strauss, a member of class 1916. Just then, a valet appeared and said. “Your Highness, your expected friends of the Weston Grand Op- era Company, Madame Stoops and Mr. Price, have arrived and will present themselves at any moment.” “A great sopranist! A fa- mous warbler! how they have reached the halls of fame,” sighed the duchess. A quiet everyday picture was now shown of the I'nited States postmaster-general, Mr Lloyd Hoover, seated at his desk reading the morning paper, the headlines which could he seen in large letters: “MR. HARLEY GEYER, ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIE ACTORS OF THE DAY. HIS SUCCESS IN ‘LITTLE BRIDGET.’ ” This scene was now strongly contrasted with one in darkest Africa, where a little hut was seen, situated in the depth of a dark, gloomy forest. I was informed that this was the home of my former friend, .Miss Schrock, and husband, who had resigned themselves to missionary work. As this scene vanished, a school room came into view in which a class of pupils were being instructed by Miss Anna Wclty, who endeavored to expound to them the various phases of English Grammar as set forth in the best and latest text book composed by Professor I). I . Parks, the president of Har- vard I'niversity. Now came a voice, my fairy's voice, say- ing, “Seek no longer to look into the future; the thread of prophecy has come to an end.’’ Had I been asleep? Had I been dreaming? I found myself in my own room, the clock striking one. Dear classmates, those that do not agree with my Fairy—be kind enough to overlook her errors and patiently await for what the future really has in store for you.

Several new and able opponents were also added to the list, mak- ing the schedule not only of length, but dif- ficult. The season opened rather early. On Oc- tober 22nd. the team autoed to Akron and played their first game. This was a hard fought one all the way through; and Akron with the aid of the referee, finally succeed- ed in gaining a one-point lead, and Xap- panee was forced to give up their first game, by the close score of 12-1 1. The next game was played at Syracuse the following week. Xappanee started out with a rush and held the score 18 to 1 2 until the latter part of the game, but were unable to keep the pace, and lost by a score of 18-28; but this was easily forgotten by a victory over them the follow- ing week, on the local floor, score being 22- 1 2. Etna Green was easily defeated in the next game by the score of 87-19. The next week, Rochester defeated the locals at Xap- panee and Xov. 25, before the largest crowd of the season, Xappanee defeated Akron by a score of 39-15. The next three games, with Bremen, Mishawaka and Rochester, resulted in victories for our opponents; but the fol- lowing week. .Milford was defeated by a score of 35-23. December 18th. Xappanee lost to South Bend at South Bend, but the team showed its ability by defeating them in the second half by a score of 9-4. The follow- ing week, Xappanee lost to East Chicago; but was successful in defeating our old ri- val, Bremen, in the next game. In probably the roughest game of the season, tlie locals defeated Goshen at Goshen. At the end of the first half, the score was 6-16, but the home team won in the last half, by very fast playing. The following week. Xappanee was defeated by Elkhart on the local floor. by the score of 19-27. Milford and Lapaz were easily defeated in the next two games. On February 12, the second game was played with East Chicago on the home floor, this resulted in a victory for the visiting team. The following week, Xappanee met South Bend c n the home floor, but due to illness. Price was unable to take his place at center, and this disorganized the team considerably, the game resulting in a victory for South Bend. February 25th, a second game was played with Goshen, and they were defeated by Xappanee, score 39-16. (in the following day, a game was played with Etna Green on their floor, and they were likewise de- feated. The last game before the District Tourna- ment was the Alumni game, in which the High School showed their superiority over the Alumni boys. March 10th, the team went to the District Tournament at Rochester, and played their first game with Richland Center, and defeated them, 47-19; this being the highest score of the Tournament. Elk- hart was the next opponent and Xappanee started out ’’ith a 'Ytermination to win. Both teams fought hard, and eight minutes passed before either team scored: and the first half ended in a victory for Xappanee, score being 9-8; but in the second half, the home team lost at the foul line. This was the last game played by Xappanee at the Tourna- ment. On returning home, a game was played with Mishawaka on the home floor result- ing in a victory for Xappanee, score 25-23. The last game of the season was lost to Elk- hart at Elkhart by the close score of 23-26. In this game, the home team showed marked ability, as a result of the year’s work; and starting out with a rush in the first half, completely outplayed Elkhart ; the first half ending in favor of Xappanee, 18-11. The second half, Elkhart being strengthened by the substitution of a new man. and Xappanee being somewhat fatigued, the game resulted in victory for Klkhart. This ended the work of the season, and was also tin last game for Price, IJline. and Anglin, who graduate this year; leaving Mellinger. Wilson and Tobias of the regulars, to continue the next season. But there are many other candidates who have been showing up well, and will prob- ably furnish fine material for the next bas- ket-hall season. The Line-up Wilson and Tobias, R. F.; .Mel linger, L. F.; Price, center; Anglin. R. (J.; and I'line, h. G. Hartman, Prickett, Welty, Mishler were sub- stitutes. lr Standing: Anglin, Wilson, Ulinb, Hartman, Prof. Whitkiibad, Coach.

Twas brought to school on an April’s day For use in Physics class, so they say. But something happened in History IV And the clock very nearly was seen no more. Now this is what happened in History. Mr. Whitehead was reading aloud, you see, When all of a sudden the sound of a bell, ’Twas such a startling sound that—well. The class all jumped and laughed, and a smile Was seen on Whitehead’s face for a while. But as the bell continued to ring, He became disgusted with the thing, And so from the room he went with a bound. And later the clock could not be found. Now this is the secret that caused the harm, The clock was equipped with a loud alarm. “His Excellency, The Governor” His Excellency, the Governor, G. C. S.
