We ex pect before long to see her, as a dignified school ma’am, using her snappy black eyes to the best possible advantage.

Quiet, retiring and unobtrusive, this little maid keeps pegging away and—gets there. You never, never see her But what she wears a smile, She carries it along with her O’er many and many a mile. MARVIN HUFF 1 im ’, our class sport, is fond of sleeping in class and aspires to be a great educator, lias his future planned, Having eyes for no other girl. He’s always found somewhere in town, But his home is on the farm— Now don’t begin to be alarmed— For Marvin does no harm. HILDA EVANS Kind and sympathetic, Hilda has had her share of misfortunes. Her favorite subjects are English and Art. She will be remembered in the annals of the class as having given a Hallowe’en party which brightened the career of class ’17. She works and works the whole day long; She never could be still, She’s quite unlike the rest of us, Who try the time to kill.

The thrifty people are those who in the time of employment are economical with their earnings. Those who believe in preparedness are thrifty. For they are preparing economically and financially for times when their thrifty habits can be put to good use. Should a panic overtake them they have frugal habits to carry them thru. They are savers of fuel, by burning potato peelings, egg-shells, and other waste and rubbish which can be used very suc-cessfully, as fuel. In Germany all such rubbish, as the above mentioned, is finely ground and packed into bricks to be used as fuel. Great manufacturing concerns are interested in reducing the amount of fuel burned to energy produced. They are utilizing sawdust, heretofore wasted at sawmills, and the excess carbon, wasted in smoke into heat energy; some are using electricity from a central point, which is cheaper than producing their own power. Packing houses are now manufacturing the refuse, before thrown away, into stock-food and fertilizer which they sell at almost a total profit. Farmers have learned how to save energy by having inodernly equipped houses, machinery to aid in doing the house work, and machinery to aid in doing farm work such as the gasoline engine, grinder, manure-spreader, reaper, hav-loader, tractor, and gang plow. They are buying fertilizer, and feeding their own produce to their stock, which they sell at a profit. The residue they put back on the ground instead of selling everything grown and buying nothing to enrich the soil, for the farmers who grow crops have always been known as thrifty people. There are a great number of people, who when they reach middle age become useless to employers and find themselves out of a job. They must work to provide for themselves. Had these men been thrifty they, anticipating conditions to come, should have been preparing for another jtosition. It is well for a man to be able to do more than one tiling satisfactorily. It has been told of a certain woman who was left to provide for a large family ami pay off a mortgage on her home that she went to work with an orchard and was able, not only to provide the necessities of life for herself and family, but also was able in a few years to pay off the mortgage. Had she worried about her losses and not have been thrifty not only she but also her children would have become de- pendent upon charity and society. The thrifty are alert for chances to save money. For instance, farmers, who can, by investing in a large amount of stock, add to their capital in the end, watch the markets for the time when they can sell their produce to the best advantage and purchase high grade horses, good fences, and first class tractors, at the lowest possible price. Thrifty people aie always savers and they reach success. According to .lames .1. Hill: “If you want to know wdiether you are going to be a success or a failure in life you can always find out. The test is simple and infallible. Are you able to save moneyf If not drop out. You will lose as sure as you live. The seed of success is not in you ’ Men who try to save and make money usually have capital accessible, for those who have the money will lend to those who display a trifty endeavor. The question may be asked, “How may one save money”? Those who save money must have a goal and in seeking for that must save to attain it. For instance, the desire to own one's own property; a desire to invest in merchandise, which requires an investment of capital; capital itself, may furnish sufficient incentive to acquire the habit of saving. To save does not mean to be stingy. A good way for saving money is to put a percent of all spent on luxuries into a saving bank. For instance, men who spend twenty-five cents or more per day on tobacco could tax themselves fifty or one hundred percent on that luxury or they could cut down their days allowance of cigars or pipes full of tobacco a day. They would get as much enjoyment out of their smoking and yet would have the satisfaction of knowing that at the end of a year they would have a nice sum to start a bank account with. Like wise High School students could cut down their ex penses on such luxuries as shows, ice-cream, candy, and expensive clothing, when the price and not the quality is considered. Some students could save from two to four dollars per week which, in a year's time, would amount to one to two hundred dollars. This sum would be accepted as an instalment on a property. Thus he could soon become a property owner. Or, this money could be put on interest to a great advantage. There is a record where thirty-three dollars deposited in 1833 brought one thousand eight hundred twelve dollars last year. The dividends ranging from two to three and one half percent. compound interest. Interest, if left to its own T’ape Twenty-eiKht NAIM’ANEK SCHOOLS devices will turn tricks that makes its wayard brother. Speculation, grow green with envy. Keeping an account of all transaction, large or small will enable people to cut down unnecessary ex pense and thus save the dimes which will make the dollars. The unwise, however think it is too much bother to keep accounts of their small transactions. They are the people who at the end of the year, Don’t. see where all the money goes to ’ If people who buy cheap goods, machinery, cattle, and horses, kept account of their expenditures and losses on such goods they would know’ where their money went. People who make things go always nay, “Keep an account, ami next year profit by last year's mistakes. Follow this practice and it will lead you to the road to success”. Thrift should be made a national habit and give the people a share in the governmental returns. Plans are under way for a Mail Order Hank, and, with government supervision it is sure to be a success. If we follow Great Britain’s example of selling ship building bonds to every five dollar investor or if the people would invest in a Mail-Order Banking house, the money which they send to Mail Order Houses, our government could soon float a new Merchant Marine; for some Mail Order Houses have a yearly income of one million dollars. Such a sum could be put to good governmental use. THE SWEDISH NIGHTINGALE FLORENCE VOLKMAN JENNY LIND was born at Stockholm in 1820 of humble parentage. In her childhood she gave evidence of her power of song and at the age of nine years she was sent to the Stockholm Conservatory of Music, being the pupil of Croelius and Berg. At the age of twelve her voice showed signs of contracting on account of being put too soon to public practice. Four years later it recovered it’s full power when she appeared as “Alice” in “Robert le Dialbe”. Her voice w’as a soprano of exquisite purity, and symponic in quality. Its tone was so pure that her faintest pianissimo was distinctly audible in the largest concert room and at the same time so full and powerful that she could easily cope with the strongest orchestral accompaniment. Her upper register was unusually rich and effective but her lower did not correspond in quality. She improvised her own cadenzas, which were always in exquisite taste. There had been voices of greater power but none of greater pruity. Her singing was as pure, joyous and spontaneous as that of a bird. She seemed to sing more because she liked it than because others liked it. Her pianissimo was perfect. Her control of breath was so perfect that she sustained tones with the utmost ease and naturalness. Summing up her qualities, I should say that her voice united strength to a very remarkable degree, with depth of feeling, delightful sweetness, and delicate refinement. At the age of thirteen years she arrived at New’ York, September 1, 1850, and gave her first concert at Castle Garden. Her supporting artists were Sir Julius Benedict, her leader; Signor Beletti, baritone and Richard Hoffman pianist. These men were especially engaged in New York for the tour. Her numbers on the program for the opening concert were “Cast a Dira” from Norma. “The Herdsman’s Song’’ popularly known as the “Echo Song”. She sang a duet with Beletti, “ Perpiacer alia Signora”, and a selection from “Meyerber’s Camp in Silesia” lor voice and flutes. During her first tour in America under Mr. Barn-urn’s management she sang in the following cities; New York, Boston, Providence, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Charleston, Havana, Mantanzas, New Orleans, Natchez, Memphis, St. Louis, Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnatti, Wheeling and Pittsburg. She gave sixtv-two concerts be tween June and December of 1851. Premiums paid for her choice seats were $3,590. In regard to her rank as an Artist, the testimony of some of her contemporaries may be of interest. Chopin said of her: “She does not show herself in ordinary light but in the magic rays of the Aurora Borealis. Her singing is infallibly pure and true and has an indescribable charm”. And Lablache, “I can say I have never heard anything like her singing. Every note was a pearl.” And Clara Schumann: “What a great Heaven-inspired being she is! What a pure, true artist-soul! Her songs will ever sound in mv heart.” And Mendelssohn: “She is as great an artist as ever lived and the greatest I have know’n ”. Surely these should know. In making a comparison of Jenny Lind as a singer with one of our time the name of Adelina Patti inevitably suggests itself. Patti when she was a girl heard Jenny Lind sing and imitated her. If not the greatest artist Patti was unquestionably the supreme vocalist of her day. The difference be tween the singers was that of personality. Patti’s tone was very clear and pure, she was absolutely self-possessed ami sure of herself but with all her vocal ability it would have been impossible for Adelina Patti to sing, “T Know That My Redeemer Pa ?e Twenty-nine THE TIGER Liveth”. Lind was a lark that soared with the blue with her song. Patti was a delightful warbler among the flowers in the garden. What of .fenny Lind the womanf She was a girlish figure medium in height with fair hair and light blue eyes. Her features were plain and somewhat coarse and in repose there was a lack of svmetry, but while singing her face was most fac-inating. Her gait was grace itself. There was music in her very looks and motion. While deliver ing her songs her face seemed to be transfigured and to gain a beauty which was not manifested in repose. In her dress she was very simple and plain. In her experiences in matrimonial scandals, no hair-breath escapes no jewel robberies. She had all the characteristics of a plain woman indeed. She was ••Jenny” with every one. not Signora Lind or Mile., Lind or Miss Lind, but plain Jenny Lind. After her arrival at New York, the stores were full of Jenny Lind bonnets, gloves, coats, hats, and fineries of every description. Her portraits were in every shop window. The choice dishes xf hotel menus were a la Jenny Lind. There were Jenny Lind stages, and steam boats, cafes and coat rooms. All the girls of that day imitated her coiffures, and costumes, and many of them sought to imitate her gait. One enterprising hardware dealer advertised, 11 Jenny Lind tea kettles which, being placed on the fire, commence to sing in a few minutes” This not only in New York but every place all over the country. In 1852 she was married to Otto Goldschmidt, who was conducting the Bach Choir at that time in Boston. Her married life was a very happy one. She afterwards left the stage for good only appearing at intervals for some charitable object. MUSIC—AN INTERPRETATION OF LIFE MARION BREVIER CARLYLE has said: “Music is a kind of inarticulate. unfathomable speech, which leads us on to the edge of the infinite”. Of all the forms of art which genius has devised to make our lives more beautiful, there is none which is so intimately associated with our every experience; none which is such close sympathetic touch with every phase of life’s emotions, dreams, and aspirations, as music. There is no one who has not felt, and has not been gratified to find, their various moods and emotions expressed in the strains of great music. One might ask—Is there a real need—a human need for music in every-day life? What is one of of the main objects in life? Everyone will agree that one great aim in life is happiness. But, we must then ascertain what can produce real happiness. The artist and philosopher would say that happiness comes through the appreciation of beauty. The minister would say that happiness, from his view point, comes through useful service. In the first case, beauty does not mean that sort, which appeals to the eye alone—but, in order to obtain the deeper meaning, we must comprehend that supernatural beauty which comes to us through the creative mind of the artist. In this respect, the artist is closer to God. than the rest of mankind, and, being gifted with a vision of beauty, which the ordinary world has not yet perceived, he is able, through his art, to make that vision real to the world. Music, which truly comes from the soul of the artist, uplifts the soul of interpreter ami makes him have higher aims and better ideals. Thus we find that the composer and interpreter serve humanity, since by hearing this music thousands are helped and inspired to greater things. Music is well named a Lniversal Language, not only because it is understood and felt in every land, by every race, but because it voices, and to some extent influences, the universal experience of all by every race, but because it voices, and to some it is also a national language; for, each nation has music which characterizes the life of its own people. This music, which we term as “folk-music”, owes its existence to the characteristic compositions of a few individuals. These themes are worked out by the composer in such a way, that they express his emotions, and perhaps his national sentiment, which the composer has attempted to convey, and readily adopt it. The general idea concerning folk-music is, that it is the sort of music which is composed and used, chiefly, by a certain class of people and therefore it does not escape from this limited realm. This is not altogether true; for the folk-songs of some na tions have been used by famous composers, of other nations, in their compositions which have inspired the whole world. This is particularly noticable in the case of Hungarian folk-music, which has provided material not only for native composers, but also for Germans, Hadyn made good use of folk music and in more recent times. Liszt collected a great number of the Magyar melodies, as played bv the Gypsies, and used them in the themes for his Hungarian Rhapsodies. Schubert also was so charmed by the Magyar melodies that he copied some of them and used them in his works. Of all European countries, Germany probably has the greatest number and variety of good folk songs. Pa e Thirty NAPPANEE SCHOOLS This music lias come down to us, by no means in its own original form, owing to the fact that it is anonymous and frequently undergoes slight changes. It was affected by contract with art-music, which gradually polished it. removing the rough characteristic touches. Since these changes have occurred, Germany has set the standard for modern music. It has been the Mecca of the musical world. No other country has ever produced a greater number of renowned composers ami musicians, whose works have stood the test of time. A great deal of the music which has been written by famous composers of Germany, contains that deep, heavy, martial air which is characteristic of the people of that country. It is full of deep meaning: not of pathos, but—we might say, romance and reverence. Some of the most beautiful melodies ever produced, have been adapted to church hymns, and were composed by Weber, Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Hayden, all illustrious German musical poets. I nlike the German music, that of Italy, France, and Spain, is of a light, airy type used especially as accompaniments for dances ami popular songs. It portrays vividly the disposition of the people of these countries; that nervous temperament, quick action and dramatic touch is easily detected. Much of the great music, representing these nations, has been in the form of operas. Spain has never produced a composer of very great renown, while Verdi, well represents by his operas, the golden era of Italian music. From France have come a number of musicians, but only a few who have become famous; the most important of these being Offenbach and Gounoud. Probably no other country in all history has been more crushed by political troubles, than Poland. Formerly, in Poland's flowering time, the more powerful, aristocrats surrounded by a group of lesser nobles, lived a life of martial activity, but were at the same time lovers and patrons of the arts. The national character grew out of this life. As a nation, they were an impulsive, noble, generous people. Later the pressure of political affairs became so great that their national characteristics were changed, to emotion and melancholy. Chopin bv means of his music, has expressed the pure essence of Polish national character. Chopin’s own life was far from happy and in portraying his innermost thoughts and emotions, he has also put into his music the characteristics of his unfortunate countrymen. Paderwski is another more modern Polish musical poet. Of whom do we generally think when we hear those wild, weird, mystic strains of music, which sometimes fascinate us and then again,—depending on our state of mind,—grate on our ears with a harsh, vulgar sound? The common answer to this seems to be the American Indian. What other kind of music could we expect, from a race, who in their uncivilized state, thought very little about anything besides hunting, fishing, or their homely pleasures, which generally consisted of war-dances? No other variety could be expected and yet to a certain degree, they show their great love and appreciation of nature, in addition to their warlike characteristics. America, as yet has not been classed with the world's greatest musical nations. It is now approaching the moment of its greatest power, however, and there are many fields awaiting some great tone Poet. E. A. MacDowell realized this and triumphed nobly, before Fate put an all too early end to his life work. The musical future of America is limitless. Americans are beginning to understand what a great part, music has to plav in the life of a nation, and they realize that their children are a part of the nation, so American children of today are being taught the value of music as a wholesome recreation, and as an aid in the development of character. With these thoughts instilled in the minds of the younger generation, why should not the future of musical America be bright? The foreign countries which are now stricken by war, and which have claimed the honor due them, will for a while after the close of the war, have very little time for art development, and consequently America will have a cuanee. Our people and others, as well, will discover the efforts and achievements of American musicians, who remind us of this stanza, written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: ‘‘The heights of great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept Were toiling upward in the night.” And we can agree with Walt N hitman when he says: “I hear America singing: the strongest and sweetest songs remain to be sung”. IS THIS THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICAN LITERATURE? JOSEPH IN E LEHMAN WHEN one speaks of the Golden Age of Lit phase of literature is portrayed and when it is such erature he means the time when the litera- literature as will live. The question is, ‘‘Is this the ture of a country is at its best, when every Golden Age of American Literature?” I think that Page Thirty-on« THE TIG E R it may be truthfully stated we are living, at least, in the dawn of such a Golden Age. The modern period of literature goes back to the year 1860. There iH a marked distinction between our literature before and after 1860. It is the distinction between romance ami realism. The former term applies to earlier literature and the latter to that of the present day. Realism does not shrink from the unpleasant and portrays life as it really is. Literature of the modern age is of more different divisions than it was in the Eighteenth Century. The novel, short story, poetry, history, philosophy, science and the drama are some of the fields into which modern literature may be divided. One of our late novelists is .lack London, lie has written many books but the one which is regarded as the greatest is “The Call of the Wild’ . It is the one of his works which will live. London was one of our modern day authors who dared to write of life as it really is, just as he had seen it. .lean Stratton Porter and Booth Tarkington are two of our Indiana writers who are greatly appreciated. Mark Twain, one of our humerous novelists, has entertained many with “Huckleberry Finn” ami “Tom Sawyer’ , lie has contributed to literature in that, being a critic as well as a jester, he was able to apply these powers to the presentation of Western life of the mid-century. The number of magazines and newspapers published in this country has been increasing every year. Then came a need for the short story because complete serials could not be published in one issue. There is a difference between the short story and a story that is short. The short story is rapid in action with every scene stamped vividly on the mind. Edgar Allen Poe was the first writer who perfected the short story. Mr. O. Henry is one of the late short story writers. He has the power of describing countries in a way that makes yon feel as if you had lived there. Edward Everett Hale is another short story writer. One of his stories is “The Man Without a Country” which is read by so many. Poetry, although not a new division still lives although it was prophesied that poetry in our age would be neglected. Our Hoosier poet, .lames Whitcomb Riley has been called “The Poet of America’s Youth”. Although it has been said that Riley wrote only a sweetened version of the truth of life “the fact remains that Riley was a true poet, the clearness and sweetness and humor of whose work have been a wholesome influence scarcely to be measured ' ’. History might be divided into two sections, the historical novel which relates history in an inter esting and impressive way, and the other section narrating historical facts. Many persons who do not care to read plain history obtain information through the historical novel. Miss Grace King has been highly praised for her historical novel, “The Pleasant Wavs of Saint Medard.” “Ben llur ’ was written by another Indiana writer, General Lew Wallace. Belonging to the second class is Richard Harding Davis whose histories are used in many schools as textbooks. John ('lark Ridpath is another famous historian. Philosophy and science are growing interesting every year. We read of the many new inventions until we think that “everything under the sun” which could be of use has already had a patent. One of our great modern American scientists and inventors is Thomas A. Edison, lie will long b? remembered by the world for the results of his work. Mr. Bell, inventor of the Bell Telephone has done a lasting good. The drama is a form of literature that the people demand. It was the type in which the American writers could not equal the artists of Europe. However there is, because of the European War, a hopeful outlook for the American drama at the present time. Authors in Europe gave up writing in order to aid their country, and, as a good drama will always be demanded by the public, the American playwright must supply it. Before this time our dramatists have been criticised and pushed aside to the advantage of foreign writers. But under the present circumstances his work is easily accepted. This fact should and will help to make the American drama first class. We have often heard it said that until we stand by our hooks and periodicals, lit erature will be second rate. It is the same with the drama. This is one of the opportunities that the war has brought to America. George Ade, of Ade, Indiana is one of the best dramatists of tins day. He will be remembered for his serial dramas, “The Follies’’, the first of which was written in 1910, as well as his scenarios “Fables in Slang” which are very popular. Modern literature lives in an age of opportunity. Many people are of the opinion that there never will be any literature produced equal in quality to that of the past. They think it worth while to read ••lassie literature only and leave our current liter ature, untouched. Why our current literature, even the comic, is the most serious part of all literature because it tells of our manners and customs, of our problems and questions, of what is happening in our own country at the present time! Moreover our American writers are the cleverest in the world, with the exception, perhaps, of the Fench and our works are free from the marks of decadence in the English paradox and the French morbidity. The Great European War has had an important effect upon American literature in more respects than the drama. In the past it was said that war seemed to produce more literature. This is not true of the present day for was decreases the output of World literature. Several reasons may be given for this; the people are fast beginning to realize more and more that war is a barbarism and should Pa ?e Thirty-two NAP PA NEE SCHOOLS not be used as the means to gain an end. Literature must be of the time and land in which it is produced and in Europe this would naturally be of war. The public is not so anxious to read of war and its effects, consequently such literature is not effective. A cowed nation cannot bring forth good literature. It has been shown how this age is golden not only in literary type but also in opportunity as well. There are many different fields into which the young author may enter so that if one is impossible another opens to him. Criticism which is either a great aid or hindrance to an author is more favorable in the present day than in the past. The Europeans used to think that America would never have a literature of its own but this has been dis- proved as they themselves will admit. They can not but admire and praise the literary works of Americans. Another opportunity which helps the young author is the reward given him. He need not write in his spare moments only and work at some other profession to make a living. Works of art are well paid for and this should encourage the making of a better literature. Moreover when the cleverness and genius of American writers has been admitted by other nations, and now that countries abroad must look to some other country other than their own for reading material and entertainment, fn view of all these facts it can truly be repeated, American literature must receive first consideration. i This is the Golden Age of American Literature”. A DAY IN THE OPEN BY HERBERT R. MILLER, ’18. Oand the sun was shedding a pleasant warmth better of winter that the snow was melted and the sun was shedding a pleasant warmth over everything; although it was still muddy and unpleasant underfoot, I donned my rubber boots and started for a tramp through the woods and fields. I took no companions for I thought that on such a day 1 would rather be alone with the wild creatures. The first wild life I saw was a cheery chick -a-dee in a blackberry bramble. He was hopping around searching for insects and he stopped long enough to give several short cheery calls to let me know that he was doubly happy because of the nice day. I proceeded to the woods where I had made the acquaintance of a ground-hog the fall before; I was filled with delight to find him sitting expectantly in his door-way blinking a greeting to me as he had often done before. Then he went slowly underground, and, as 1 had been attracted by the cawing of some crows I left him in peace. 1 crept up to where about fifty crows were scolding a big owl who could not escape their merriment. I watched them for about five minutes, amused at their antics, when suddenly one of them gave a startled cry and they made off with the owl in their midst. I continued my walk until almost noon and then sat down to eat my lunch. As I was eating I heard a chirp, and turning around I saw two red squirrels watching me. I threw some cake at them and they fled, but soon returned and ate the dainty morsel greedily. 1 had plenty of time to get home so 1 went through a meadow which was noted far its great number of rabbits. They lived on the clover which grew abundantly there and had a snug retreat among the brambles by the fence row. I was not disappointed for in crossing the field I scared up about a dozen of the bright-eyed creatures. Upon passing a pond I saw a flock of ducks disporting on the water and two or three musk rats swimming about near the shore. I passed without disturbing them and continued my way toward lome satisfied that Spring had indeed come, bringing with it the return of the shy creatures of the woods. TWO OLD MAIDS, A DOG AND A CAT GUY TERWILLIGER, HO. MATILDA and Emma Stebbens were two old maids who lived in the village of Redfield. The house had been left to them by their deceased father. It was a large many-gabled building cut up by many partitions into small and large rooms. The obi maids were about the same age. They had always been lonesome living alone in the big house. They had tried to raise chickens with little success. One day while Matilda was going to the village she was stopped by a small boy who held a Page Thirty-three THE TIGER puppy in his arms. He inquired if she wanted a dog. Matilda thought for a moment and was about to answer ‘No’, when she had an idea. “It would be just the thing to have around the house; it would be amusing and later”, she thought, “it would make a fine watch dogSo Matilda secured the animal for the sum of twenty-five cents, an enormous sum in the eyes of the small boy. Matilda then retraced her steps homeward. She showed her treasure to Emma who joined in her joyful anticipation of no more listless evenings. “We will keep him in the house until he grows up”, decided Matilda. “ Yes, 1 will get a basket and fill it with old flannel, and—Ah! I know! We can put it here beside the stove”, cried Emma. “But what can we name him, John, Jake, Fido or what would you like?” asked Matilda. “Oh let’s name him ‘Billy’ ”, cried Emma, “I think it sounds so cute.” The two old maids forgot all about getting supper in making Billy comfortable. Billy’s bed and everything that a puppy needs was placed in a most delightful place near the stove, and there Billy thrived. In three months he had grown so much with the good care ami food he received, that his own mother would have had difficulty in recognizing him. All went well until a few days after lie had been put outside in a newly built kennel. Then Billy learned some of the ways of the world. The next-door neighbors had a large cat named Tabby. Now Tabby seemed to have a natural dis like for dogs, and had sent many an inquisitive pup howling away, with his tail between his legs. Billy was to be one of her victims. A few days after Billy had moved into his new home lie took it into his puppv-head to find out who lived next door to him. lie went rolling and frolieing over to the back door of the other house, and tried to get up a game of “ Roll over-and-over ” with Tabby. Tabby however bristled up her back and flew at Billy. Billy at fiist thought it a new game, but soon he was covered with scratches on the face and smarting blows on the back. Terrified he went tearing for home, howling at the top of his voice. Tabby did not pursue; he was glad of that. His cries brought Matilda and Emma on the run. They dressed his wounds and soon he was as good as ever. But Billy never more could be induced to go near a cat. A VISIT IN BOSTON HELEN E. MUTSi 1ILER, ’20. BETTY and her brother Bob went to Boston the first week in November to attend the horse races. Up to this time the weather had been very mild, but two days after the races it turned exceedingly cold and there was a big snow storm. At their Aunt’s kind invitation Betty and Bob decided to stay two more weeks and go skating with the young people there. Besides, the next Friday was Betty’s usual time for coming to Boston for her music lesson. Friday afternoon after her music lesson Betty saw Bob coming towards her with a lunch basket and two pairs of skates on his arm. Their Aunt’s big dog following him. “Come with me Betty,” he said, “the bunch is going to have a skating party and I have our lunch and skates. I have to stop at the store a few minutes so there will hardly be time to take your books home Bring them along we can manage them some way.” At the next corner they met the crowd of young people. While they were walking along, a strong wind sprang up which threatened to blow all their hats oT. All except Betty held their hats on, but she hail her arms so full of books that her hat went flying across the street. Bob ran after it and reached it just as a young man picked it up. As lie handed it to Bob he inquired, “Is this Grant Avenue? And do you know if Mrs. Edward Crawford lives at 352 Grant Avenue?” “Mis. Edward Crawford is my Aunt”, exclaimed Bob, “You must be Richard McKee, one of my English cousins that Aunt said was coming some time this month. But where are Katherine and Wilma?” “They are at the hotel”, answered Richard, “I telegraphed your Aunt that we reached New York two days ago. But I suppose she did not get my telegram, so I left the girls at the hotel and started out to find her.” “Come on over and meet all the young people across the street, and then we will take you to my Aunt’s house.” Bob gave Betty her hat and Richard met all the young people and then the party escorted him to the hotel to get Katherine and Wilma. They net the two girls and then went with them to their Aunt’s. Their trunk soon arrived and Richard, Katherine and Wilma found their skates and went to the skat ing party with Betty, Bob and their friends. They built a fire and ate their lunch and skated for sev era I hours. When they reached home that night they all declared they had had the best time they ever had had in their lives.

THE ENCHANTED POOL WILMA SMITH ON Halloween evening as I sat beside a magic pool in the meadow I spoke these words: “Little pool so round and clear May my wish be granted here, That the future may be seen Of class nineteen hundred seventeen.” Scarcely had I finished when to my delight a beautiful water-nymph, bearing in her hand a golden wand appeared, “You are a favored mortal,” she said and touched the water with her wand. At the magic touch the waves began to roll slowly toward me. Afar off I saw in the billowing wave a picture illuminated by the silvery moon. It was a beautifully decorated Hotel in Paris, furnished with all modern dressmaking equipment. Fashionably modeled gowns lay on tables where many ladies were busily sewing. Examining the garments and instructing the laborers was Madame Hracee’ Mattern, owner of this large dressmaking establishment. Her most valuable patron was Florence Yolkman now the renowned Baroness Von lloffstadt. Crowning the next wave appeared a ripened field of corn in the midst of which stood a man and his wife and I recognized the Grimm countenance of the farmer’s wife as that of Wilma Yoder of class ’17. The third wave rippled on the beach bearing on its crest the vision of a business transaction between a Chautauqua manager and Ray Trover who was signing a three season contract between the ‘‘Red Path” people and his talented wife. On the pebbly bottom of the pool I then saw a furniture factory. Here as head inspector of these great works was Emory Naylor, carefully examining each piece of furniture as it entered the packing room. The next scene was a beauty parlor in New York. A sign hanging without bearing these words, Madame Ethel Silburg, Specialist in Beauty Culture, attracted my attention. Presently the door opened and I recognized my former classmate. At a table sat a lady, richly dressed in the latest fashions, having her nails manicured. I recognized this lady as formerly Joy Myers now the wife of a New York banker. Soon she proceeded from the building and entering the National limousine waiting outside murmured to the chauffeur, “Home James”. The next wave seemed to transport me to the sunny southland, for cotton was gently waving in the breezes and many negro pickers were lazily picking the bounteous crop. The owner of the plantation soon appeared riding a prancing black steed and I recognized him to be Walter Miller. Other crops were raised on his big plantation but of all of these he liked cotton best. A room in Goshen College was next revealed to Page Thirty-five T II E T I G E R me and within its classic walls stood .Josephine Lehman with a very solemn countenance instructing a class in ‘1 Caesar’s Gallic Wars”. As she dismissed the class I heard her say, “I am disgusted with your conduct. Tomorrow bring nothing to class but your books, not even your pencils, and do not have any words written out in your texts.” A scene in Africa followed. A lady, whose face was concealed by a large palm hat, sat patiently instructing a group of native children. As she turned to welcome the approaching chieftain I recognized Hilda Evans. A theatre was next presented to my view and a man whose voice was strangely familiar enraptured his audience with song. As he was about to leave the platform, I recognized my former classmate Charles (loss. The orchestra then began to play and a beautiful girl came gracefully dancing from behind the screen. Astonished I recognized Anna Kurtz who was now the famed dancer in the world. Following this scene I saw a hotel in South Bend. Here leisuring passing away the hours of life was Jay Walters better known as Bell Hop. A richly dressed man was talking to him and as he turned and proceeded to the door I recognized Howard Kosenberg. The nymph allowed this wave to linger that 1 might see him roll luxuriously away in a big automobile. He entered a large factory embellished with this sign: ROSENBERG’S PERFUMES AND SPICES. A girl’s room was next presented to me, and seated at a table was Cora Weaver busily writing poetry for the Galesburg “Gazette”. This was suddenly changed to a Library in New York City and I recognized Nova Harter the gracious head librarian. Many people were entering ami departing, and Nova was very busy courteously referring people to their desired books. Following this scene the office of the Galesburg “Gazette”, Galesburg, 111., presented itself. Here sat Francis Parks, editor of this popular paper and around him were many cartoons which he would “palmer” off on the largest newspapers of Chicago and New York. Thus was he able to support his extravagant wife, in whose home town he had finally taken up a life’s career. I was again carried to a strange country and I found myself lost in acres and acres of beans. Instructing the workers and superintending the packing was Ercell ('ole, owner of these large farms. 1 was next allowed to peep into one of the most popular cafes in New York City. Here dressed in white and diligently instructing her servants was Eva Strauss, chef of this big eating house. The next scene presented a familiar store in Nap-panee—Hartman Bros. Co. Here I saw Russel Hartman, who was now a stockholder in the company, graciously waiting on customers. Following this came a scene in Ford’s automobile factory. Here I recognized Forrest Postrna con- structing one of these powerful little machines and assuring his fellow workmen how much power the one he used to drive had. A scene in a Movie Theatre next came to my view. Here playing the piano was Madge Ulery, the clever-fingered musician. The picture on the screen showed the hero just finding his long lost sweetheart, Olive Feldman. I next saw a drug store in Goshen and as the door opened I saw Wilbur Welty, proprietor, offering for sale a remedy which he was demonstrating to be free from drugs. I then saw a large department store in South Bend in which was a lady richly dressed showing her stock of laces, embroideries, silks and satins. As she turned to meet the approaching business-manager I recognized this sales lady to be Nellie fpe. I was next allowed to see the State House of Indiana and here in the Governor’s chair sat Otis Wagner, carefully guiding the state through many critical situations and dangerous bills. The next scene w'as a large hospital in Fort Wayne. Many nurses were going in and coming out of wards and private rooms. At a distance I saw a brunette who looked familiar. As she approached I recognized Zac Lehman, wearing the garb of a graduate nurse. A view of a tall telephone pole followed, on its top sat James Wehrly putting on new cross-arms and carefully examining the wires. The stage of an auditorium was next presented and Edna Smith, waving the flag of her country, was earnestly pleading for votes for women. As she ended her speech she seemed to say: “If you want a peaceful lull You must let the women vote. For the hand that rocks the cradle Will never rock the boat.” Following this I saw a fat stock show in Chicago and here Marvin Huff was proudly displaying his blue ribboned fancy cattle. I then saw a room in which a lady sat at a table thinking deeply and referring constantly to a small book beside her. As she instructed the servant who knocked not to call her for luncheon or dinner I recognized Esther Greiner writing notes expounding ‘1 Emerson’s Essays ’ ’. I was again carried to the country. The scene presented a barnyard, and near the corn-crib unloading a tremendous load of corn was Charles Hold-erman, owner of this one-hundred-sixty acre farm. I next saw, sitting at the switchboard in a telephone office, a girl patiently answering calls. I recognized her as Beulah Shaum. The last wave brought with it a sound of sweet music, and I listened, enchanted, to the strains which seemed to proceed from a Cathedral in Lon Pape Thirty-six NAPPANEK SCHOOLS don. As tlie wave drew nearer I recognized Marion Brevier, playing the organ in that great church—a veritable second St. Cecelia. The waves ceased and my nymph spoke: “Your wish has been granted you,” she said, “and this vision shall never be given you again.’9 “Thank you,” I said, but my nymptli had dis pea red so I walked slowly back to my study. CLASS POEM ERCELL COLE With deep regret, yet joyfully, We pack our books and go. We do not like to leave old friends— We’ve learned to love them so. Our first thoughts are of Freedom, From our studies which are done! But the serious thought which follows Is, “Our Life’s course’s just begun’’. Though life seems a weighty problem For such youthful ones to solve, Just as sure, we’ll win through labor, As this old earth doth revolve. For determined we are always, In this onward march of life, To crush obstacles before us And to triumph in the strife. This we’ve proved to you most surely By our High School record clear, May our goal of future efforts Mount thus higher every year. Days of fun and happy learning Were those High School years of four; But it seems we’ve scarcely entered Till we’ve left and closed the door. True we’ve disobeyed our teachers, Perhaps broken the golden rule, But we know we’re better boys and girls Then when we entered School. And to all of our dear teachers, Who have been so kind and good, We would like to tell them plainly That we love them—if we could. One more year we’d like to linger, The new building just to view; But we leave it to the Juniors, Since our High School work is through. In the future we’ll remember, For its surely true thus far, In the Annals of this High School “Seventeen” has been the Star.

During this season the Nappanee quintet played with varying success, at one time losing several games in sue cession, and then following this streak with a flash of form which brought victory home at the most unexpected times. Prospects for a very successful team looked discouraging at the first of the season due to the fact that the local school lost three men by graduation, and three other members of the varsity failed to return to school. After a few weeks of hard drill and work prospects looked brighter and the boys took a number of games from their opponents. After losing the two first games the team suffered materially througn the loss of two members, each of whom showed marked ability at his own position. Among the regulars, Mishler at forward and Harter at center played the most heady and consistent basket-ball during the entire season. With Welty, Knoble, Slagle, and Mutschler fighting for regular positions on the team, at no time was there lack of good substitutes. So far as we can see now, Nappanee should have a winning team next year, as only two regulars, Welty and Hartman are lost by graduation. The basket-ball season will be started in the new Gym which will be completed by September, 1917. LINEUP. Forwards—Hartman, Mishler, Knoble. Slagle and Prickett. Guards—Welty, I’line, Mutschler, Miller. Center—Harter. The Nappanee High School girls had a very successful season in Basket-ball, playing three games and losing one of the three. They should have a good team next year because only two girls. Ercell Cole and Nellie Ipe are lost by graduation. LINEUP. Forwards—Ercell Cole, Nellie Ipe. Centers—Bertha Mangold, Lola Rosbrugh.

We know we have a smart class of girls but they know it too and so they are showing their cleverness all of the time. Some people think the telephone is an advantage but I think it is a perfect nuisance. Just when everybody is studying then that telephone starts to ring. And nobody in the office to answer it. The teachers keep the office locked and so of course one of the boys has to climb the partition and answer the phone. If the teachers would repair the boy’s clothes when they are torn climbing over that partition we would have no kick. Then too in the last four yeais there have been weeks spent answering that telephone. Think of the time lost! Some new song books were bought at the first of the year and they have not been used more than four times. Whoever heard of a school spending its money for expensive song books and then letting them get dusty for lack of use? Why those song books will be so dirty by next fall that they won't be fit to take into the new school-house. The teach ers never give the Senior quartette a chance to use them—but maybe that’s a good thing for probably if we did we’d choke to death when we try to find “The Jolly Rovers”. Anyway we never have morning exercises only once in three months—just when something has gone wrong, or when somebody has caught the measles or tried to give the school-house a new coat of paint and Professor wants to reprimand us. Then the teachers expect us to sing and be joyful. Who can sing when their voice is all choked up with dust and tears? How awfully tiresome it is to climb those old steps. There should be an elevator furnished with brussels carpet and upholstered chairs. Then a fired pupil could study his lessons before he got into a room of noisy boys and girls. Besides who can study after having to toil up so many steps. It makes a fellow’s legs ache to walk from one classroom to another and when he has to go up and down stairs to get his books he’s just too weary to get to work properly. No wonder some of us never got exemptions when we had to exercise our legs before we could exercise our brains. And too, why can’t the teachers come to us instead of having us go to them? Everyone knows that exercise will make fat teachers slim and slim teachers fat. If the teachers were more like us they wouldn’t be so smart either. There have been Grumbles written before but they were no good. A grumble to. be a real grumble must be grumbled by a pessimist. All grumblers heretofore have been optimists. I grumble because I have no good Grumble to follow. I am an optimist; I always see the doughnut before I see the hole. I grumble because I must be a pessimist. I know this will be the worst Grumble of all Grumbles because 1 am a cheerful grumbler. However I am not the only grumbler in the class. There are some excellent professional grumblers in it who can speak for themselves: Walter, “I grumble because I did not get a new basket-ball suit.” Ercell, “I grumble because I cannot slide clear across the door when I am playing Basket-ball.” Howard, ‘‘ I grumble because my hair will not lav straight. ’ ’ Grace, “I grumble because I cannot attract the attention of all the hoys at once.” Ray,il I grumble because there is not a class party every night.” Josephine, “I grumble because Fiancis does not do more woik on tlie annual.” Francis, “I grumble because ‘those girls' try to tell me what to do.” Marvin, “I grumble because 1 cannot get enough sleep in school.” Ethel, “I grumble because I have not enough spare time to get my History.” Nellie, “I grumble because the boys all stick to their class rings.” Wilbur, “I grumble because I ought to gi t my hair cut.” Otis, “1 grumble because I cannot take snapshots every day.” Forrest, “I grumble lecause nobody will accept iry theories on electricity.” Joy, “I giumble because there is nothing cluing.’’ Now that we are to leave this High School, we grumble because the faculty does not realize that the students are human beings with appetites for study, sleep and fun. The appetites are born with vs and ought not to be crushed by assignments of long lessons. In spite of this torture we have retained, at least, the ability to recount the misdemeanors, of which we are unjustly accused. We sincerely hope and trust that the future generation of students may be spared the debasing effects of a slave driven system, hypocritically called Eduea tion. Page Forty-two NAPPANEE SCHOOLS SOCIETY MARION BREVIER EVEN if, in the future, we be so unfortunate, as not to be permitted to have any fun, the many jolly, good times we have had during our High School Days, will in part, compensate for that loss. OUR DEBUT No one else having taken upon themselves the responsibility of caring for the social functions of Class ’17, Esther Slabaugh deemed it her duty to do so. Accordingly, toward the close of our Freshman year Esther surprised us all, with an invitation to spend one of those beautiful, spring evenings with her. By means of “modern conveyances”, consisting of two hay racks, we reached our destination and passed the evening very pleasantly, playing games, singing, keeping our uninvited guests, the Sophomores, away, and eating the dainty refreshments that were served. MARSHMALLOW and “WIENIE” ROASTS Although Blanche Campbell is finishing her High School course at Cleveland, Ohio, we will long remember that she gave one of our many class parties. One mild, winter day in our Sophomore year, we received gay, orange-colored cards, bearing this inscription : “Come to the marshmallow roast, And see who can eat the most. We had a splendid time and every one did justice to the marshmallows and other refreshments. On the lovely, moonlight night of March 2, 1915, accompanied by Miss Leah Blue, who was then the girl’s Basket-ball coach, lass ’17 sauntered out to Stauffer’s Woods, where “Wienies” were roasted and eaten by the score. On May 18, 1916 Florence proposed that the Juniors gather at her home in the country, and in connection with our “Yell Practice” in preparation for the Commencement exercises, have a “Wienie” roast. Every one was delighted with the idea. The girls prepared a lunch of sandwiches and pickles, while the boys were to purchase the “Wienies”. The demand for “Wienies” at this time was very great and so they were not to be secured. The boys thought marshmallows would be a good enough substitute, however, so they took them instead. We were not satisfied with the combination of pickles and marshmallows and the boys, taking the “hint” drove to Milford and returned with the desired “Wienies . A general good time followed. Nov. 15, 1916 soon after the presidential election the Democrats were in unusually good spirits. Wishing to use some of their superfluous energy to the best advantage, the Democrats of ’17 thought a “Wienie” roast would be just the thing. They managed to gather up a crowd (?) of nine, includ- Pttge Forty-three T II E TIG E II iiiAr three who were not members of the school. This was the biggest joke of the season to those who favored other parties. One beautiful evening later in the autumn of 1916, the Senior class again assembled for a good time and “big eats”. This time at Wilma Smith’s home, six miles north-east of town. Every one received all they had expected and more too. This ended the round of “wienie” roasts. SKATING PARTIES skating parties have been quite popular with ( lass ’17. There’s a reason? Some very renowned skaters in the class( ?) On Mar. 8, 1915 with Mr. Manwaring, our mathematics instructor, and his wife, as chaperons, we launched out upon the slippery cement sea of Stuckman u (’nip’s rink, many of us for the first time. The time Hew as fast as the skates and all too soon the gong sounded as a signal to depart. On the evening of Feb. 4, 1916, as Juniors, we again occupied the rink. This time we were a lit tie more efficient than before. Everyone exhibited his utmost skill for there was a reward in store for them—refreshments! At s I . M. on Nov. 6, 1916, the members of Class ’17. wishing to celebrate appropriately the day which comes only once in four years, assembled at the skating rink where they could easily hear the latest reports of the election. Republicans and Democrats kept things lively with their arguments. Though the Prohi’s had little to say they still had hopes, which were not totally destroyed by the returns. Not very long after this Class T9 kindly invited us to be their guests at a skating party. Everyone had a splendid time, so good in fact, that we soon returned the compliment. 1917 ENTERTAINS 1915 Thinking we needed something to enliven our spirits after the tiresome routine of school life, and desirous of having some guests herself, Esther Sla-baugli again threw open the doors of her lovely country home to us and our sister class ’15. We played games of all sorts on the lawn until quite late, then gladly answered the call to a delicious luncheon of peaches and cream, and wafers. GETTING ACQUAINTED Seniors? We could scarcely believe it? Grace Mattern decided that a party would aid us in becoming more accustomed to the fact. So on the evening of Sept. 12, 1916, with Mr. Abbett our new history instructor, as chaperon, the Seniors joyfully flew (by means of automobiles) over the four and one-half miles to Grace’s home. “ Go-sheepie-go” was one of the main attractions of the evening. SURPRISE (?) PARTIES On Sept. 28, 1916, fearing that Josephine Lehman might feel sad, since another year had passed so swiftly by, the members of class ’17, dropped in to spend the evening. Every one enjoyed himself to the utmost. Not being very successful in surprising .Josephine, we made another attempt this time on Joy Myers, on the night of Jan. 18, 1916. The boys either had “other fish to fry” or thought the affair was intended for “old maids” only, for they failed to appear. Nevertheless.the girls had a splendid time. SPECIAL OCCASIONS Hallowe ’en On the evening of Nov. 1, 1916 Class T7, now a bunch of jolly, mischievious Juniors, found their way to the home of Hilda Evans, three and one-half miles south of town. A most enjoyable evening was spent playing games. Refreshments characteristic of the season were served. “THE RECEPTION ” The event, which we had looked forward to and planned for, ever since our Freshman days, had at last arrived! In the parlors of the Methodist Episcopal Church, on the night of May 5, 1916 we, as Juniors, entertained the Senior ( lass of 1916. The reception room was tastefully decorated with black and orange, the colors of Class 17. Here tin first part of the evening’s entertainment, which consisted of a spicy program, was rendered. We then proceeded to the dining room where blue and gold, the colors of the Senior ( lass predominated. The tables were decked with white carnations, the flower of Class ’17. A dainty three-course luncheon was served, followed by toasts given by members of the Hoard of Education, Faculty, Senior and Junior classes. Papre Forty-four NAPPAXEE SCHOOLS WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY The clay before Washington’s birthday, each mem. ber of the Senior (’lass, Miss Guild and Mr. Abbott, received mysterious little envelopes, which contained cards in the shape of hatchets bearing these words: “On Washington’s birthday, Will you come to my party? I 'll see that you have A welcome quite hearty.” At eight o’clock on the appointed night, twenty-two Seniors with their chaperons were ushered into the patriotically decorated rooms of .Josephine Lehman’s home. After the “Delaware” had been crossed and many other interesting and amusing games had been played, a delicious two course luncheon was served. All departed at an early (?) hour, and, being “truth tellers” for one day they reported that they had had the “best time ever”. WITH THE HUMORISTS IN CASES?
