Mote our coach, through whose efforts a high standard of athletics has been reached and rnain tained. 8 FOREWORD KQHIS is the final effort of the staff of nineteen twenty-two. The monthly issues D were just forerunners of this last one. ln fact this is all inclusive and might kgjy be called a summary of all the preceding numbers, for it deals with the hap- penings of the entire year. The staff has been a faithful one, and each member has done his part to make the annual a success. Sacrifice was necessary in several cases, but each person was Willing to do all that he could that the class of nineteen twenty-two might leave behind it a volume of which every member would be proud. Perhaps after reading the Annual you Will be disappointed. Perhaps you Will think of a number of things which should have gone into it that didn'tg no doubt there Will be many faults which might have been corrected but those are the things to forgetg for after all, there are a lot of happy. things to enjoy. What a lot your annual will mean to you in years to come! What pleasant memories it will recall! What a vivid reminder it will be of this one year in your high school life! lf it is a source of happiness to you now or in the years to come, We as a staff shall feel ade- quately repaid for all the Work and time We have spent in making it a success. 9x0 U4 'ill Q7 Sarto 9 Qu r i Talole of Contents The Staff The Board of Education 77,e., 7 77 The Faeulty7,7 77 77 The Seniors ,,ee,, The Classes7 7 77 7 7 Commencement Program 777777 77 Class Poem 777, ,7777777 777777777777 Class History 777777 Class Prophecy 7 Calendar 777777777. 77 Alumni 7777777 Music 777777777 Athletics 77777777777777 7 The Passing Show 77777 77 Literary 77777777777.77 77 77 7 , Ye Olde Scrap-Booke 7 712, 1-1 to 18 to 32 to 38, 777740, 777743, 45 to 49 to 55 to 65 to 77 to S5 to 91 to Editor-in Chief. 77777 77 Associate Editors 7777777 7 Alumni Editor 777777 Athletic Editor 77777777 Art Editors 7.7777777 Stenographie Editors.

The feelings and ambitions of a Junior are not evident to everyone but mean much to the one who has them. ln this year the student is nearing the end of his course and senses the problem before him. He is soon to enter the world when he must do for himself or become one of the many parasites. This leads to thought. The life work of a young person becomes a question of grave importance and one which must soon be decided. All students are desirous of attaining a high rank in their work, but to get into the road that will lead to this rank is difficult. The juniors will soon be ready to enter college and they wish to choose their vocation and to prepare for it. These things and countless minor reasons lead us to feel that the junior year is one on which we shall look back in years to come and about which we shall say, We made the biggest and best decisions of our high school course during the Junior year.-ROBERT RECK. Juniors Write Letters of lnquiry During the fall term the Juniors, like the scholars in Squeer's School of Regula r Education and Practical Philosophy, put into practice what was told them in theory in their Business English class and wrote letters to various other schools. These letters requested information as to how the schools had conducted their Good English Week the previous year, and their replies, as they came in, were tabulated and con- densed by a committee of Juniors, for use in our observance of this important week. Many of the schools answered and their replies were used when the week was observed in Piqua High School. This plan of writing letters in order to learn how to write, or in other words, learning from experience, is the most valuable way of improving one's work.-LOUISE BURNHAM. ournal Junior Class Organizes The Junior Class held their first meeting on April 6, with Mr. Sims presiding, and perfected their organization by the election of the following officers: Joe Barker, President: Wayne Reynolds, Vice-Presidentg Dorothy VValker, Secretary- Treasurer. After the election of officers, several important matters of interest to the class were discussed and decided. The election of a Junior staff to publish the Junior Piquonian re- sulted as follows: Robert Reck, Editor-in-Chief: Nancy Rundle, Associate Editorg Laurel Kettler and Caven Morrow, Assistant Business Managersg Clark Allen, Athletic Editorg Florence Wagner, Art Editor, Edward Butterheld, Steno- graphic Editor. The remaining positions on the staff were already filled by Juniors, Chas. Kiefer, Louise Burnha1n,and joe Barker. A vacancy caused by Nancy Rundle's resignation was filled by Anna Keller, who had received the second highest vote for Associate Editor.-ANNA KELLER. Personals Our education is thorough, we begin from the ground up. Mike Michelson is not running behind on the 'fgrid . Other men winning letters are A' Pollee Barklow, Dick Jelleff, and Walt Magee. Many Juniors receive the honor of being placed on the Honor Roll of P. H. S. Honor to whom honor is due . The literary contributions in the lirst Piquonian were interviews with prominent business men, on the subject of Good English, reported by Juniors. The Juniors are never left out of anything. Three of them were caught in The Mouse Trapl' at Christmas time. M X 'QSHW gf son Sophonune Sconm 7-Sophomore vs. C1eoInetryh6 OPHIES, Rah! Sophies, Rah I, Rah, Rah, Sophies! This shout was heard in the mathematics room when the Sophomore eleven came on the field. The rooters seemed to expect a fine game and they were not disappointed. During the first quarter there was no gain on either side, each holding the line firmly. K. Offenbacker was completely knocked out by Prop. XV Ca sub for Geometryj while trying to break through the parallelogram formation. It was neces- sary to revive her by the use of construction lines. Although the Soph team received many injuries it was able to come out on the long end of a 7-6 score.

Rhetoric, Good Composition, and Proper Speech starred on the Sophomore team, andxtheir strongest opposition came from Slang, Careless Vllrithng, and Bad Grammar on the Bad English team. The Sophies knew they were on the right side and this confidence aided not a little in winning the game. The appearance of the Bad English team caused great consteration among their rooters. They certain- ly looked queer. The game ended with the overwhelming score of 52 to 17 in favor of the Sophs. 9-The Sophomore-Latin Game.-5 Although Coach Upton spent much time in developing an efficient Sophomore team, the Sophies had little hope of victory over the Latin nine when they learned that Caesar was pitching Ccampj. The members of the Latin team were as tall as their names were long, and they were skilled in stealing bases, but the Sophies proved that quality and not quantity always wins, by coming out on the big end of a 9 to 5 score.

Many balls were called out, and two were lost entirely. Many dis- cussions were caused by one side claiming a ball good, and those opposite claiming it out. These differences were all settled in ways which left the players friends. The Sophs carried off the cup by winning the match 2 to 1. Singles Discussion .............. vs ............,..

We had some peculiar notions about high school, but had little idea of what was expected of us. At last the fatal day came and Miss McKinney found what subjects we were each to take, and explained to us where the different classes were to meet. Many of us, having much to remember forgot the location of the class rooms, and upon asking the information from an older pupil, were directed to some Senior history or Junior physics class. In the assembly we found another difficulty to over- come. Most of the new pupils sat in Hfteen or twenty seats, some five minutes, some five seconds, before they finally found a seat which they were not politely asked to vacate. We found several rules which we were expected to obeyg the one most emphatically impressed upon us was that we were not to loiter in the halls. At the end of the semester, however, we had found what we were expected to do, and now that the troubles of becoming established are over, the fun will be in watching six other classes wander around just as we did. JOHN KOESTER, '25. ll. ln the Classes. When we Freshman enter high school there are many things we have to find out before we can consider ourselves full fledged high school students. In the first place we expect to find nothing but A's on our report cards, and we find instead Us and D's. I. We expect to have no difficulty in finding the value of X in Algebraic equations, but before we are Sopho- mores discover that there is nothing more elusive. Science is always puzzling to the poor Freshman, made especially so by cruel looking apparatus arranged in the long dark cases of the science room. And Latin! VVhen a Freshman takes Latin, if he is to judge by the experiences of the wise Sophomores, he will accept it as an established fact that he is doomed to failure the first year. English sounds familiar, but the first year students find the unexpected here, too, as well as in the Commercial subjects. JACK SNOXV, '25. The Teacheris Findings. When the Class of '25 first entered P. H. S. in September, the faculty in all probability, were steeled to encounter a herd of numbskulls. However, they were not long in altering their opinion of us. Of course, each of the teachers has a warm spot in his or her heart for those who have preceded us, so naturally they dislike to voice their real feelings toward us. lf you don't believe this, just quietly ask any one of them, and what they say will make you green with envy. They conhdently expect each one of us to have his name engraved at the head of the Hall of Fame. We don't wish to boast, but their confidence is not misplaced, for, to use a slang expression, We're there with the goods. To some who may be dubious, we can only say, f'Wait and see, and if the Class of '25 does not equal or excel any other class that has entered good old P. H. S. in the past, or that expects to enter it in the future, the fault cannot be laid at our door, nor can the faculty be blamed.

Opportunity is beckening, there are battles to be won In the day that comes before us, with the rising of the sun. And the trumpet call to duty as it sounds upon the dawn VVith a challenge clearly spoken hnds us eager to be gone. VVe are anxious-still we tarry, for our feet reluctant stand At our Alma Mater's portals. VVe shall miss her guiding hand. She has shielded us and taught us, through the recent passing years She has echoed all our laughing and has pined beneath our tears. We have labored for her glory and the honors that we earned: We have yielded to our Mater and we End them thrice returned. Can it be we pass forever from her fond and loving care? Yes, we go, and in our passing, Mater dear, we breathe a prayer. ln the future swiftly dawning, Alma Mater, you shall know Classes 'most as wise as we are-every year they come and go. They are coming-we are going, they are happy-we regret 'Midst the many that shall follow, Mater dear, you may forget. Though the beam of fate, to sorrow through the future should incline We'll remember you, my Mater, with a love that's all divine. And we pray the God of Wisdom to be light in his disdain, So that memory may remind you that we did not pass in vain. 40 Class Poem And we hope that while we're toiling to the heights where we aspire Our resolves shall catch the spirit of your inspiration's fire. VVhat is fame but empty glory of a world that's swelled with pride? Crown the tomb with wreaths of laurel for a genius is inside. No, false fortune, genius left him when he drew his latest breath, Carve his stone with storied virtues, you have lost the game-to death. Sing his praises speak his service, he is damp within his grave Who refused to be, while living, base convention's idle slave. 'Tis but earnest brave endeavor that inspires the genius soul He was stirred by dreams and visions that his heart could not control. So with us, we are not striving to attain a1nbition's ends But to help and heal the heart wounds in the bosoms of our friends. Empty fame and worldly glory-not the goal we're striving toward: We will heed the call of duty and shall reap a just reward As we tarry on the threshold-watch the dawning of our clay Ere we heed the urge of duty as it calls us on our way, We are eager to be fighting in the ranks of those who do, And we long to drop the old ways pushing forward with the new. From your halls a dying whisper seems to call a soft Good-bye, And with saddened hearts we answer- Fare thee well, O Piqua Highf 'Tis the end-and here around us is the only love we knowg Still we bravely stem our sorrow, face the rising sun and go, KIENNETII JOHNSON. 9 iw 41 QXQU4 'K-Cf-D-'22 QV s one History of the Tribe of Seniors ND it came to pass, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and eighteen, that many people of a strange new tribe came together at the gates of the temple of learning in Piqua. And the name of the tribe was Freshmen. With fear and trembling they opened the great doors and with- in they beheld turmoil and confusion and many other tribes mingling together and speaking with a loud voice. And the Freshmen waxed afraid when it was made known unto them that the others grew wroth if they aspired to greatness. But they were earnest, desiring to know wisdom and in- struction and to perceive the words of understandingg there- fore were they not overcome by those who did mischief to- ward them and in the great hall their faces were like graven images so that no man looked upon their fear. Full soon they became bold and in all things they obeyed the law and grew in body and mind. And now there came a great affliction over the people and they studied diligently for they knew that they would be ex- amined by questioning and they feared that the record in the great book would be evil. But lol they were a wise people and obtained the reward of wisdom. And their tribe was in- creased mightily. In a little while the records were taken again and straight- way their name was Sophomore according to the law of the great book of the temple. Then knew that they would soon be of the mighty tribe of Seniors, and they spoke boldly to the Freshmen, rebuking them for many things and disput- ing against them. And now it came to pass that in this year a new great chief came to the temple and all that saw him were straight- way glad and many gave heed to his words but he was sorely vexed by some. Moreover it was accomplished that a new field, wherein all manner of games might be played was bought and all re- joiced and labored diligently. So when the enemies waxed bold an army was gathered together and defeated them. And many of the tribe of Sophomores grew strong and were experienced in such sports. So, in-as-much as they had fought a brave fight, the maidens made a feast of good things and many were bidden who were valiant in sports. Afterwards they assembled them- selves together with much dancing and singing and there was great joy among all the tribes. After many days were made known the names of all those who had attained a good record. Now this was a new thing but well received so that many strove to be on the Honor Roll afterwards. Howbeit, some said, How have I hated in- struction and not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor in- clined my ear to them that instructed me. So when they had accomplished this year they that were worthy were made juniors and wrote many things which all the people read and their Piquonian was called excellent. Then when the summer had come they honored the Seniors and pleased them with a great picnic, and so they said fare- well to them, not entirely with sorrow, for many dissensions had sprung up between them. And it came to pass that in the next year they were Seniors and many rumors were spread abroad of their prowess and daring. And they mightily convinced the lesser tribes of their excellence. For in all things were they exceeding wise and they were not slothful in their ways. At last after many days they inscribed their names in the great book of the tribe, the Annual. And therein they told of their mighty deeds. And when the great day was come they received each one a parchment and they knew that they would come not again to the temple of learning. So on the morrow they waxed sorrowful when they bade farewell to many friends. And afterwards they abode many years in the land and often called to mind these things and rejoiced in the memory of their youth. ' PAULINE HAUSCHILDT. Funny How Things Turn Out qctzxss PROPHECYQ OR three long hours I had tossed sleeplessly to and fro upon the great canopied bed in the dusky apartment. The torpid air of midsummer hung low over the city with its heavy and moist warmth, and neither books nor tobacco could soothe me into the refreshing slumber for which my tired body cried out. I clapped my hands impatiently, and my servant, a dark Hindu, noiselessly entered the apart- ment. Since I had saved him from mutilation and torture in inner India, the man was more my slave than servant, and devoted himself to my service with a dog like affection. His long residence in the Orient had made him familiar with all the secret arts of the Hindus as well as careless in his moral code. Pundja Singh, I questioned, what do you do when you can't sleep? . In reply, he drew from his mantle a long pipe of yellowed ivory, suffusing the pungent odor of burnt opium. No, no, I repelled the offered solace with an aversion born of bitter trial, The Black Smoke does not agree with white men. Have you nothing else? I Ah, Sahib, he replied, HI have something far better, something that will raise one from earth to India, from the deepest depths to paradise, from misery to the highest joy- but the heaven born will laugh when I tell its secret. I shook my head impatiently, and he continued, It is called mongay in India, and he who tastes of it will be limited by neither time nor space, but will be transported across limitless space to see those he wishes to see. All right. I broke into his eulogy, and, without further question, I swallowed the spoonful of the stuff he offered me hoping that it would at least put me to sleep. Hashish, I grunted disgustedly. Yes, Sahib, he answered, 'fhashish and mongay, now the sahib must name those he wishes to see. All right, I acquiesced drowsily, for the action of the stuff was marvellously swift. Let me see what twenty-five years have done to the class of '22, and I closed my eyes in the Hrst sleep I had had for three nights. Only those unfortunate ones who have tasted real Oriental hashish can comprehend the nature of my dreams. From the hot and stifling air of the room, I was lifted, transported, call it what you will, filled with a sense as light and buoyant as is often felt just before ether numbs the faculties, but without its heavy, sickening character, and my thoughts were led into such visions and transports as my imagination had never dared to picture in its wildest fancies. Visions of enchanting beauty, of voluptuous delights, of purest happiness, so ethereal in character as to merge into a continuous vision. But the effects of the hashish passed off, after a while Cas all artificial pleasures on this earth must pass offj and I lay in a state of vacant coma, distinctly occupied, from time to time by scenes and characters which brought back in a rush, memories of '22, First, the great stadium, at Ohio State opened into view, with a hotly contested game in progress. Who coaches that team? one spectator asked another, and, following their gaze, I saw Art Penrod seated on the bench giving last in- structions to restless 'fsubs . Another section of the field showed a cheering section of girls with Jennette Stein in charge, the Director of Girls' Athletics. Within the college, a class in classical language was hold- ing animated discussion. Over the bedlam presided 'fPolly Hauschildt, and from the faces of the class, it seemed that they were really enjoying it. In the adjoining room a Spanish class was carrying on conversation in Castilian with its in- structor Agnes Lange. Now, I gazed over a vast expanse of ocean, on which a huge dreadnaught was fast approaching. I recognized the captain a mile off by his figure, Cap VVhitney, beyond a doubt, iw rx r i and the other, loaded with the full insignia of an admiral was Thornton Dietrich. A seaplane soared low over the ship, and in the pilot's cockpit I recognized Leonard Snyder. I Spanning a great river in the north was a massive bridge in process of construction with Wiles Keller directing the work, and 'fPop Stockham bossing the men. In the great hospital in Philadelphia, where Dr. Shane has made so many marvellous cures, I met the noted surgeon, and his corps of assistants, among whom were Helen McKinney and Helen Crawford. In the middle west a court room scene occupied my at- tention. The judge, Fred Stoll, called the court to order, and the prosecuting attornery, Lillian Douthitt arraigned Art Geil for parking his Spad overtime on Bert Bentley's hotel building, instead of using his own parking space on his under- wear factory. The star witness for the defense, Wm. Baker, an influential banker, stated that owing to the congestion of trafhc in the factory district, caused by the presence there of Duke Magee, Republican candidate for Congress who advo- cates better street car service, there was no available parking space within three miles. The defendant was let off with a light hne, sufficient to pay for a skylight or two. A hurrying figure attracted my attention, and I followed it with my eyes till it entered a building entitled the Patter- son-Colmorgan Co.-Designers and Illustrators . Here was the same old Pat , and Paul Colmorgan, grown a bit gray at the temples, but young in energy, ably assisted by Lauretta Davis, famous for her work in art. ' A performance of Hamlet was in progress at the Metro- politan, and the manager, Mary Knouff, was introducing to the cheering crowd Kenny Johnson, who starred as Hamlet , and Kathryn Franz, who supported him in the role of 'fOphelia . A vast expanse of prairie land opened on my sight, with an army of men and tractors in intensive cultivation. In charge of these were Adelphis Smith and Clarence Morrow, who were making enormous cuts in production cost. And now appeared the familiar halls of P. H. S. Looking into the mathematics room, I found Cecilia Brink teaching algebra. History was being taught by Joseph Cromes, and Devenia Buscher was dispensing huge quantities of pink slips from the familiar sanctum sanctorum of the principal's office. On the screen of a movie, I saw the names of Ruth Youtsey, scenario writer and John Kienle, camera man. H Barney Groven took the role of the handsome leading man, while Dorothy Furrow played opposite him as the heartless vamp. Behind the desk at the Library was Lucille Smith and in the adjoining building Abbie Davis maintained a violin studio. Now came the vision of a southern college campus and Tuskegee Institute where Dorothy Friedlich held the position of dean of Women. Down town, Joe Gillem owned a large grocery store, handling the largest part of the local trade. On the steps of the new Y. W. C. A. building in Piqua the secretary, Ruth Gerlach, was conversing with the matron of the domitories Margaret Walsh, both enthusiastic over the new plans of the organization. In the Senate Chambers, Al. Roeser was expounding to the sleepy congressmen his theory of international government, while Mildred Beckert busily took notes. At the new Hippodrome was playing the Sandwich Follies of 1947, with Hazel Hole and M. L. Levering in the Sandwich rolls. On Wall St. rose the great Metropolitan Commercial Bank, where Red Graham carries on his great financial tranactions assisted by his private secretary Ada Jordan. Near here was the famous 'modiste shop of Lela Gustin, who with Nellie Holloway as model was selling great quantities of hats and gowns to the New York plutocracy. On Fifth Avenue I saw the studio of Flora Manahan famous for her portraits in miniature. Here also were Mabel Morrow, married to a famous surgeong Enona Gene Bowman, wife of a prominent politiciang and Margaret julian, wife of a stockbroker, all of whom had come to New York to shop. Then through the traffic there passed Betty Brown in her new orange colored Corliss Coon, designed by Aaron Turner, and seated beside her was a handsome dark haired man, At the Aeolian Hall in Philadelphia, a concert company composed of Louise Koester, Margaret Koester, and Margaret Price were presenting an evening of Beethoven and Mendelssohn to a capacity house. The mayor, Francis Nye, made a two minute talk on the advisibility of allowing dirgibles the right of way, and of avoiding accident in taking off from the roof of the Hall. In the Tribune was a notice announcing the transfer of the ownership of the paper from Ed. Hammon to Chas. Spangler, the former leaving for Florida to live on his income. The headlines stated that K. Bomhard, the famous inventor of the Tireless Tire had just devised a method whereby butter can be made from the common milkweed. As a compensation for this signal discovery, Congress has voted to present him with one of the priceless eggs found recently in the tomb of the Pharaohs. In Pasadena, Margaret Washing had just completed the most daring stunt Hight ever undertaken by a woman. With her I saw Katherine Haines, a reporter for the San Francisco Press. In the hills of Kentucky were Helen Lewis and Doris Reese, teaching in the schools for the mountain children. In Indianapolis, the Van Heustan team, composed of Don Yochem, driver, and joe Wyatt, alternate, took hrst prize in the International Speedway Races, using the new three cylinder Smokeless built of Corliss Coon parts. On the light opera stage, Ralph Zimmerlin and Jennie Stackhouse were achieving a lasting fame in their latest success, Prunella . In the editorial offices of the Women's Daily Complaint Elma Greenbank was busy writing up her department on Husband Problems and Gretta Hile was finishing her week- ly contribution to the 'lComplexion Column. The State legislature assembled at Columbus showed Grace Stedman, the first woman senator from the Piqua district. On the roof garden, controlled by Martha Mason, Helen Plock and Ruth Ratchford were leading a mystic dance, when I awoke with a start to hnd Pundja Singh standing over me with an irresistible smile on his dark face. Sorry, Sahib, he apologized, Hbut there is a signor here who claims that you still owe money on the 1922 annual. Tell the gentleman what I usually do, I grinned, yawn- ed and promptly went to sleep again. JAMns TUPPER. fgf-Sw. R'-5 faq ' 531. ,.:.-AI. .,-. , :,f.g':., ,. ,UA h A' H' 1?

HAVE been asked to say something of the graduating class of 1872, and as this year marks the semi-centennial of the entrance of that class into the alumni, I am most' forcibly and not altogether pleasantly reminded of the lapse of time: it seems hardly possible that fifty years have passed since the 30th day of May, 1872, when this class quitted the Piqua High School. The date you will notice, and it is an instance of the changes of the times, that fifty years ago the observance of Memorial Day had not commenced. The class of 1872 consisted of fourteen members: eight of whom have nnished the lesson of life, those who have passed away are the salutatorian of the class, Nannie Meflay CMrs. Thomas Mitchelll, Kate M. Denman, Anna B. Spencer CMrs. li. H. Butterfieldl, Lucy M. Scott, Lizzie A. Keve, Dr. Charles T. Gibson, John H. Schafer and john I.. McKinney. Of the remaining six, only two remain in Piqua, Libbie V. Spiker tIVIrs. H. M. Pauldingj and the writer. Mary S. Raynor CMrs. Anthony Costj is living in lndianapolis, Martha lf. Hamilton tMrs. George Fliekb in Oklahoma City, joseph KI. Brotherton is also located in Oklahoma at Muskogee and Amos H. Sawyer resides in Columbus. No special incident that I can recall, marked our academic history. VVC Were, as I believe, at least fairly proficient in our studies, and we liked and respected our teachers an d each other. Perhaps one distinguishing feature of our class was the harmony that always prevailed among us, so much so as to be noticeable. I cannot recall an incident when any dissension took place a- mong us, and our association was free from the little cliques and petty jealousies which sometimes exist among young people who are daily brought together. l remember my old class mates with love for the living and tears for the dead. In 1872 our people were much more restricted in public amusements and entertainments than at the present time and 9xCLU,4 'gags 2 fr 5029 commencement week, as it was known then, was a great event in the history of the year, we had then no opera house and outside of the ancient Border Hall, the high school hall was practically the only place where audiences of any size could be accommodated. The first event of graduating week was the high school exhibition, once one of the most noted of the events of the year but abandoned long ago. The exhibition consisted of orations, essays by some of the supposed most gifted pupils, songs and instrumental music by the pupils having any special talent in that direction, and dialogues participated in by various scholars. This exhibition never failed to attract crowded audiencesg at the present time were they attempted, outside of the immediate relatives of the participants, it is probable that the services of a military company would be required to drive an audience in to the hall and hold them there until such performance was concluded: but as I say, in those pleasant and simple days it was considered a very great event and was treated accordingly. Passing to the alumni reception which followed the graduating exercises on the next night. At that time, of course, the number of alumni was comparitively small, and each member was privileged to invite one guest not a graduate, and this reception being the social event of the season, was ac- cordingly highly regarded and those who had the privilege of extending this invitation were, until they had exercised it the subject of great attention by those desiring to enter the charmed circle. The graduating exercises followed an invariable form: the graduates were seated in a semi-circle upon the stage and each in turn was expected to orate or read an essay consuming from ten to fifteen minutes, on such thrilling subjects, CI am quoting from the little folded program of this occasionl as The Cause and Cure of Corruption in Public Affairs, The Centralization of Power, Hope, Our Guiding Star, No Autumn Fruit without Spring Flowers, and the like. Will the present generation believe that large audiences, embracing all the leading citizens, and for that matter all the other citizens who could get in, would voluntarily endure such a program for four mortal hours and apparently enjoy it? My position on the program was last and I vividly recall occupying a Very uncomfortable chair from eight o'clock until almost mid-night, in mortal terror during the whole time that when my turn came I would forget my piece, which calamity fortunately did not occur to me. The only break in this deluge of eloquence and oratory came when two pieces of amateur music were introduced and at the end when follow- ing at that time the invariable custom, we attempted to sing our parting song composed by a member of the class. Whatever else might be said in favor of the class of 1872, their warmest admirer never accused them of having any music in their souls, with probably one exception, and perhaps the only redeeming feature of our Hparting song rendition was that it was strictly inaudible at a greater distance than ten feet from where the class stood while executing it, I think often, when referring to the present splendid faculty of the high school, of my day, when we had two in- structors one the superintendent and another, his assistant. During one year of my high school career an additional as- sistant was employed but was dropped at the end of the year as being an unwarranted extravagance. When our superin- tendent got time to superintend still remains a mystery to me, as he was expected to teach classes and hear recitations from nine in the morning until half past four in the afternoon. He heard his classes in the main room while the assistant occupied another room and some class was continually reciting. Our superintendent, Professor William Richardson, a most ex- cellent and esteemed gentleman and accomplished scholar, is still living at some place in the East. As his assistant he had for several years Miss Florence Butler, CMrs. Charles Wellsj, who was a splendid instructress and, in her time, it is perhaps no extravagance to say, the most thoroughly beloved by her pupils of any teacher in the schools. She also is still living, The other instructors during my high school days were also teachers of a very high order of merit and were Dr. Theodore D. Brooks, and Miss C. V. Bowers CMrs. Butterfield, deceasedj and Miss Laura T. Benson who is still living. We had practi- cally no regular examinations in those days and no elaborate system of grading, the scholars being rated generally by the instructor's idea as to their capabilities and success in their recitations. As one of Scott's characters said These changes make an old man of me. . The physical surroundings of the high school are very different today from what they were a half century ago. It lay upon practically the western boundary of the inhabited portion of the city. The south side of High Street was then pretty well built up out to the present hydraulic but to the north of High Street and to the west of College Street, the whole north-western portion of the city was practically farm land, immediately across what is now Walker Street was an immense corn field, which stretched away, what, to my memory seems boundless distances west and north-west. Walker Street itself, west of the High School was an abandoned gravel pit, which was usually filled by the fall rains and remained a pond all winter, giving excellent skating facilities and in the early spring a chance to play the favored game of banter, which, was to see how many times you could run across the very thin ice before you finally broke through and were sub- merged to your waist. Walnut Street, the first street east of the high school, was then simply an alley or more properly a gully, in times of heavy rains and melting snows it was a navigable stream and the scholars occasionally amused them- selves by constructing rafts and floating down it. The school children were expected to get across it the best way they Could, until the school board improved it by causing some stepping stones to be placed at intervals across it, on which, excepting in times of freshets, the scholars were enabled to skip from place to place and thus avoid a wetting. The hydraulic canal at that time had been only partially constructed, in fact work had been stopped upon it and it was doubtful at that time whether it would ever be renewed, but the final completion of the canal very much improved the drainage of that end of town and diminished the size of the lakes and rivulets which had formerly surrounded the high school. In my day we had no school base-ball or athletic teams of any other kind, and in fact none of the associations for the promotion of either social intercourse or mental improvementg all of which are now such valuable adjuncts to the life of our high school students. We did, indeed at times have a debating society, which might be called a sporadic institution, in which I think we did not derive much mental improvement, as the meetings were never taken very seriously. We played foot- ball but our game would not be recognized by the modern followers of that pastime, and it was simply one-half of the boys playing the other half, always divided as nearly equally as possible in number. I feel no older today than I did when as a boy I paid my daily visits to the old high school building, but the manner in which I am rambling is a disagreeable self conscioushint to me that I am engaging in an old man's garrulity. With this thought in my mind, it occurs to me that the only way for me to stop this is to come to an end as quickly as possible, with- out thinking how to find a nice phrase to round out this article. My last word, as one of the elder of the surviving alumni to those who are now enjoying the advantages of our magnificient high school system is to indicate the difference that fifty years has made in the school and to accompany my message of 'tGood Luck and Good Cheer to the present scholars, with the admonition of the good old lady of Uncle Tom's Cabin, Children consider your blessings. WALTER D. joNEs. QX U ox U4 1 22 '7 CNA CLASS OF I 882 HILE I was flattered to be asked to write something for the Piquonian to represent the Class of 1882 of the Piqua High School at the time of its fortieth anni- versary, it was almost a shock to me to realize that so many years have passed since our graduation. It does not seem so long since we met and worked together in the old building on College Street, but we cannot deny our age. The pleasantest memories of my youth are connected with the Piqua High School and my class-mates. I came to Piqua from the Troy High School, and sharing the rivalry between the two towns looked upon the change as exile. I soon found, however, that while the Troy school had been good the Piqua school was very much better, and I never regretted the change. It has been a great pleasure to me to recall the old days, as I have been doing since the request came. Memories have been revived of our much-loved teachers, notably Prof. Bennett, Miss Hall and Miss Brooks. It has brought back the Friday afternoon literary society, the schools ports, the class parties, and many episodes in the class room and assembly hall. Culmination of all was the commencement exercises in the old Conover Opera House, when I recall that I fore- shadowed my life work with a so-called oration on The Power of the Press . It was a great class which celebrates its fortieth anni- versary this year. I am proud to have been a member of it, and I am grateful to my class-mates and teachers for the help and inspiration they gave me during the years that we were together, and for the memories which have enriched the years since then and are now especially vivid. It is unfortunate that we are not able to get together for a class reunion, but we certainly must plan for one on our golden jubilee ten years from now. If I am here, I will be there. Faithfully yours, T. R. WEDDELL, '82, P. H. S. CLASS OF 1892 HE class of 1892 had thirteen in number, and as no calamity has befallen any of us, we have proved for all time that thirteen is not an unlucky number. We cannot call it a calamity that two of our number, Mabel Aspinall and Ethelwyn Wells, have passed to a better and fairer world, though Earth be poorer, Heaven is made richer by their presence. The remaining eleven are all useful and faithful citizens. Of these, five are residents of Piqua-Robert Morpin, Lillian May Crump, Jennie Patterson Biser, Alma Knox Barnett and the writer. Those living in other places are Charles Holliger, Findlay, Ohio, Berta Carson Loy, Renssalaer, Ind., C. P. Shuman, Pittsburg, Pa., Margaret Wilt, Dayton, O., Irvin Prugh, Blue Rapids, Kansas, and Will McKee, Great Falls, Mont. This was the first class to receive honors for high grades, and Will McKee was chosen valedictorian for scholarship. Up to this time honors were awarded by vote of the class. In the years that have passed since the class of '92 was gradu- ated there have been many changes in school administration. The children of today have many great advantages we had not, and one of the best changes is that of cutting out the graduating essay and oration. The seniors worried over them from the time they became seniors, the faculty worried over them to get them in shape to present, and the dear public sat through hours of patient endurance, to what end? After all the good advice our class generously gave, Piqua and its citizens moved on just as before. Thirty years is a long time looking at it in some ways, and it does one good to pause and look back and give our thought to old days and long time friends. There's a magical isle in the River of Time, Where the softest of echoes are strayingg Or the exquisite breath of a tropical chime VVhen June and it's roses is swaying. Oh, this beautiful isle, with its phantom like snow, Is a vista exceedingly brightg And the River of Time, in its turbulent flow, Is oft soothed by the voices we heard long ago, VVhen the years were a dream of delight. ELLA H. HAGAN. CLASS OF 1902 REETINGS to the Class of 1922. Dr. Holmes once said he didn't see why young writers found it so hard to break into print for he had no trouble at all-Bound for Europe, his very first day aboard, he became a contributor to The Atlantic . Now, I objected to writing this article for no other reason than it gave my age away. But then Charley Upton, Logan Frazier, Ethel Christie and Kate johnson are in the same class. I really think that is the reason they asked me, who is out of town, to write this screed-Thought they would escape mention! No such luck! Did all the rest of you know, our class of '02-had the highest average of any class, ever graduating from P. H. S.? Well, we did. Then a strange thing, Edith Ginn Prince and Edith Lane, had exactlythe same average, even to the fraction, so we had two salutatorians. We also had one essay on Commencement Night-in Latin, another in German, and many in poor English-Can you beat that! Ask Miss Upton about us-She's partially responsible. VVe've really been workers-lawyers, brokers, real estate agents, politicians, teachers, farmers, musicians, chemists, mothers, fathersfgood ones too. Then also, we're like Sherw1n's paint, We cover the earth . Alice Le Bolt Syman is in Tacoma, Washingtonfand here I am IH Boston, Massachusetts. . Here's to Ohio, the best state in the Union: to Piqua, the best town in the State: and '02, the smartest class that ever graduated. VVe greet you Class of '22-the newest, therefore the best. HELEN LOUISE BRIEIDENBACH BA'1'EM.xN, Class of '02. CLASS OF l9l2 ITH the events of Commencement close at hand, memories crowd upon us and we live over again the happy days of our own graduation. Each commence- ment brings a renewal of old associations, though many of our class-mates are scattered and some have passed to the Great Beyond. . On the 14th of September, 1908, the Class of '12 entered the Piqua High School and assumed the position usually ac- corded the latest arrivals in that institution. Our lot was thrown upon stormy times, and our temerity and tendency to enter the wrong class room, made us the object of much laughter. Through strenuous efforts, encouraged by splendid achievements we came, with not a little sorrow to the end of our course. The class of 1912 was the largest up to that time to be graduated from P. H. S., its members numbering forty. We had the honor of being the last class to be graduated from the old high school building. The Custom of being gradu- ated without the caps and gowns, and of wearing the class flower was established by us. The class of '12 sends greetings to the class of '22. May this year be in truth a commencement for each member. MARION MILES MOTE, '12. xQU i i CD4 A' s cvx Qu: Ii 2 5 2 MUSIC 1 C 55 9 4 r r Band HE Piqua High School Band was organized in the fall of 1916 and from that time to the present it has been pro- gressing steadily. This is due in part to the free lessons which the Board of Education have provided for pupils learn- ing to play brass and woodwind instruments. After completing a very successful year in 1920e21, the organization has increased its membership from thirty-three to forty-two. During the six years that have elapsed since it was organized, the Band has attained the high standard as a musical organization which it now holds. Much of this due to the efforts of the present director, Mr. Philip P. Gates. Along with the increase of members in the organization, there has been an increase in the variety of instruments. At the beginning of the year there were three new instruments purchased with the proceeds of annual concerts and Hpaid jobs . A new double B bass, an oboe, and a bassoon were added, the last named a very rare instrument and one which adds greatly to the completeness of the Band. The boys have practiced once a week during both semes- ters, choosing lVlonday night for their practice night. They have responded faithfully to practicing during all the year, mainly because they have had something interesting to work on and because they realize the benefit derived from practicing together. The Band has always offered its services very willingly in all kinds of school activities and public affairs. lt played for all the football games at home and at a number of the out-of-town games. This organization no doubt aroused much '1pep , and helped to win many games. They also gave the basketball team a good send-off to Delaware, and also welcomed it home again although it was not to go back for the finals. The Band has had several jobs during the season, both at home and out of town. They gave their services free to the Mason's Club when this club held its annual Open House on New Years Day. They went to Troy and played for the Hallowe'en celebration held there last October, a trip which proved very successful both from a musical and a financial standpoint. On November 11, the boys were asked to go to Sidney and play for the Armistice Day program in the forenoon and a military funeral in the afternoon, they did this and returned home in time to close the program which was being conducted by our home school. The members of the Band have shown their ability as musicians by the splendid concert they put on this year in connection with the High School Orchestra. The boys have worked hard during the past year and no doubt they will all agree that this has been the most successful year in the History of the Band.

Although this organization is not as well known as the High School Band, it is a valuable asset to our school. With the double aim of giving services to the school whenever they are needed and of develop- ing through-out the community a desire and appreciation for good, high class music, the orchestra, under the splendid leadership of Mr. Gates, is progressing rapidly. The orchestra is steadily growing not only in number but also in ability and is now made up of thirty-five members. The regular practice is held on Wednesdays at two-thirty dur- ing the school year. To impress upon the members the im- portance of being regular in attendance, an excuse blank is required after absence the same as in any other class. This year the orchestra has had many more opportunities for appearing in public than in the past year. This is due chiefly to the fact that its services have been needed at various Lyceum numbers. Another event this year was the Com- munity Concert which was given in the High School Audi- torium on Sunday, February 26th, at which time a large audience responded. Commencement Week always furnishes a number of events in which the orchestra takes part, such as the Operetta, the Class Play and the Graduation Exercises. A number of members will be lost by graduation but al- though they will be missed, the opening of school always brings with it new members. The most of these come from the junior Orchestra, which, under the direction of Mr. Gates, prepares the younger students for their future work in the high school organization. The orchestra at the present time consists of the follow- ing members: Violins Jennette Stein Margaret Price Laurence Lotz Katheryn Loefller Laurence Burkemeyer Robert Doss William Flack Grace Stedman Helen Lewis Charlotte McMacken Joseph Wyatt Helen Manahan Paula Gehm Mary Louise Levering Omar Huffman Dorothy Landman Clarinets Robert Reck Leonard Snyder Dwight Peele Oboe Clark Allen Bassoon Kenneth Benner Pianos Margaret Koester Elfreda Lloyd Harp Elizabeth Love Flute Edwin Hiatt Trumpets Clifford Proctor John Hessler Trombone Vertres Agenbroad Tympan and Drums Louis Jones Horn Kenneth Blue Bass james Tupper Cellos Elizabeth Kendall Elsie Wimmer GRACE STEDMAN. M 59 Of the boys in the high school who have musical ability, 9x0 U4 'EGQJZ2 Q' song? Boys' Glee Club. ANY attempts have been made in the high school to form musical clubs for the boys who sing. As a re- sult several quartets and octettes have been organized at different times, but these have all been short lived, seldom continuing beyond the term in which they were organized. None of them can be considered as successful from the stand- point of either membership or permanency. The present Boys' Glee Club is the only exception. It was organized in 1918 by Mr. Philip Gates, Musical Director of the Schools, and has progressed steadily from that time to the present. thirty are at present members of this organization, some of them being charter members. Any boy who can sing and who has the eighth period on Friday open is eligible for admission. The membership has almost doubled in the years since the club was formed, and a reorganization next year is expected to enroll Fifty boys. The Club loses several members this year as a result of graduation but these vacancies will be filled by new members. The two-period practice plan, inaugurated when the club was Hrst formed has been used to advantage and with success, as it enables more boys to take part and gives the instructor a better opportunity for individual training. The music used by the Club is of an exceptionally high standard and of such nature that the boys have taken great interest as well as much pleasure in mastering it. The Club has appeared publicly on several occasions, taking a prominent part in the program of the annual High School Band and Orchestra Concert. The program given by the Club on this occasion this year, was one of especial note, consisting of several entertaining selections, well rendered. This organization has proven itself of great benefit to the school in general as it is one way of developing a greater interest in school work. In addition to this the boys who are members are given the opportunity of developing their musical ability. It is a general rule, that the soloists for the Senior Operetta are chosen from the members of the Glee Clubs. Co-operation of the members and instructor determines to a large extent the success of an organization of this kind, and realizing this, the boys and Mr. Gates have worked together to bring the Boys' Glee Club to its present high standard of excellence.

The club always takes an active part in school affairs. Important! It appears so to the girls and the school at large. The club made its first appearance before the school at Christ- mas time. The Community Concerts and the Baccalaureate services also called upon the club for some selections. Be- sides these activities, some of the main characters of the senior operetta were taken from the club. Roll call this year reveals an increase in the number of voices from last year. The girls have shown better spirit and ability and this is probably due to the fact that girls work more earnestly when there are more in the club. Let us start with our new director. Miss Margaret Wood kindly offered services because Mr. Gates felt that he could not give his full attention to the work. She has been untiring in her efforts and should receive due honor for her splendid assistance in making the Glee Club what it is. Sopranos? Yes, and they have fine voices too. They are: Lillian Douthitt, Pauline Hauschildt, Dorothy Friedlich, Mary Ginn, Mildred Bouks, Mary Knouff, Louise Koester, Carmen Lloyd, Flora Manahan, Thelma Metz, Kathyrn Offenbacher, Irene Snavely, and Charlotte Yates. Golden voices are found among the second Sopranos, and to realize this it is only 'necessary to read the list: Martha Freshour, Dorothy Graham, Edna Hammond, Mary Lois Hauschildt, Opal Hensler, Alta Mae Jacobs, Evelyn Kiser, Virginia Rayner and Marjorie Sanderson. Last but not least are the altos, who certainly can sing very well. The girls are: Florence Dillon, Anna Garner, Dorothy Hofheinz, Anna Keller, Elfreda Lloyd, Esther Smith, Iennette Stein, and Martha Thoma. Even our accompanist, Margaret Koester, sings, but then we would rather have her play, although we mean no offense. She has helped the club very much and we feel more confident of ourselves when we see her run her nimble fingers over the keyboard. Every girl had to have her voice tested this year before she could enter the organization. If her voice reached a fixed standard according to its clearness, distinctness, and range, the girl was enrolled and assigned to the section which suited her voice the best. The various parts were strengthened in this way. Certain selections are chosen every year and the club has received some exceedingly fine numbers this term. Largo by Handel is a heavy number and requires much skill and practice. Mammie's Lullaby, a southern dialect song, carries the melody of Dvorak's famous number, Humoreske. I'm a Longin' Fo' You, although an encore number, has a world of pathos and a plaintive note is heard throughout. By the Waters of the Minnetonka, a beauti- ful song by Thurlow Lieurance, brings 'out the music of the American Indians. Usually people like some thing peppy in encore numbers and the Glee Club has provided itself with music to satisfy the public. Alack-A-Day, The Invitation , f'Will O'Wisp , and The Top of the Morning, are different types of song, but all of the numbers have the liveliness and brightness that interest the audience. Because the club has always cheerfully responded to any re- quests concerning music, the school feels rather proud of this musical organization. RUTH YoUTsEY. x U 'rch Sunday Concert HERE exists at the present time a National movement, which originated in New York City, to cultivate an appreciation for the betternforms of music. ln response to this movement, the City Federation of Women's Clubs, in co-operation with Supt. George C. Dietrich and Director of Music, Philip P. Gates, have arranged for a series of concerts, to be given from time to time, by the various musical or- ganizations of Piqua. The first of these concerts was given on February 26, by the High School Orchestra, assisted by the Junior Orchestra and the Girls' Glee Club. This was a big success, every seat and nearly all standing room being taken. The following interesting program was given: PART I JUNIOR ORCHESTRA Grand March ........,,.., ,................ .,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,. l 7 ox Star of the East ...,...,..., ,..,.,.,,,, Z amecinc Dance of the Fairies ....... .,.....

Grieg concert afforded an opportunity for the general public 'to hear and understand what is being done for the development of instrumental music in the public schools. The appreciation with which the efforts of the musicians was received insured the success of future concerts, and much praise is due Prof. Gates and Miss Margaret VVOod for the training of the organizations. The l-loly City HE sacred oratorio, The Holy City, by Alfred R. Gaul was rendered by the High School Chorus on the afternoon of June 4. The Holy City is considered a masterpiece. The Oratorio is divided into two parts. The first part was suggest- ed by the passages of scripture, Here have we no continuing city, Thy Kingdom Come, and sets forth the desire for a higher life, as expressed in the words, My soul is athirst for God, which desire is followed by the perfection of the higher life, such as Eye hath not seen. The second part was suggested by the words, l saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away, VVith the exception of two hymns, a verse from Milton, and three verses from the Te Deum, the words are entirely scriptural. The rendition of this oratorio demanded a great amount of talent and hard work. The Chorus was only able to do it so beautifully by the assistance of our very best solists, Mr. Sims, Baritone Miss VVood, Soprano Mr. Schoener, Tenor Miss Slagle, Alto The Chorus has increased in size and musical efficiency in the past year and reflected great credit upon our musical director, Mr. Philip Gates. Following the Oratorio, a select chorus of 200 grade children sang Songs of the Nations. . DOROTHY FRIEDLICH.

This team made a record for itself not only in the number of games won but in the way in which these games were won. The team possessed the kind of Hghting spirit which keeps the players at their best until the whistle blows. Without this quality more than one game would have been marked lost instead of won , Piqua began the season without great promise and played two tie games with teams that it should have beaten easily. When the team entered the third game which was with its old rival, Stivers, it was with the determination of holding the scroe as low as possible. Piqua didn't have a chance to score, but for that matter neither did Stivers, It was in this game that the fellows found out what they could do, and it was this game that made the eleven players a machine ready to fight to the last ditch in an effort to win. The team broke its tie record by taking its revenge upon the Miamisburg team which for three years had beaten the Piqua teams. Piqua continued its winning streak at the expense of Lima, Middletown, Sidney, and Troy, but lost it in the last game of the season. Enough can scarcely be said in praise of the coach, Mr. Raymond Mote, who worked long and faithfully to build up a team of which Piqua can be proud. He devoted much time to working out a shift which helped materially in winning several of the games. The team loses a number of its strong numbers by graduation this year. Stockham, Graham, Nye, Geil, Keller, Johnson, and Penrod, who have upheld the high standards of P. H. S. on the gridiron for the past three and a half years, will be missing from next year's line up. Each of these senior fellows takes this opportunity of heartily wishing that Mr. Mote may build up for next year, a team that is even better than the one which was so successful this year, and of saying to him A'Good luck, Mr. Mote. The line up for the year was as follows: L.G .e.... I.. E L. T C R. G R. T ...... , R. E ..... Q ............ L.H .... .....

S. as one of the most successful of all years. The first call for practice by Coach Mote was answered by seven of last year's letter men, together with a number of new candidates. From these men the Coach picked what later proved to be a winning combination. Throughout the season the team was backed by enthusiastic crowds of rooters. The schedule consisted of seventeen games. Two other contests were played, however, one with the Alumni, the other with the Y. M. C. A. Boys' Division team, and in both of these games the Red and Blue was forced to taste defeat. ln the regular schedule the P. H. S. squad won fifteen games losing to Delaware and Lima Central. Among the games that were notable for their playing should be mentioned those with Stivers, Lima, and Troy. At the State Tournament at Delaware the Piqua Team made a fine showing and several members of the squad were picked for the All-Southern quintet. Piqua played four games. The fourth game was played with Delaware High, after Piqua had eliminated Cambridge, which Udopestersu had picked as the State Champion. Piqua had led Delaware up to the last minute of play when a long field goal tied the score. just as the shot resounded for the end of the contest, the referee's whistle was heard, and it was learned that a foul was made by Delaware which turned a 13-13 t-ie into victory for the Delaware team. . In reward for their excellent playing at the State Tourna- ment at Delaware, the Tournament Committee awarded the Piqua High School basket ball squad a silver loving cup for being the highest average scoring team in the Southern Division, and a gold medal to Francis Nye for being the highest average scoring forward in the Southern Division of the Tournament. Through the whole season wonderful team-work was dis- played, and this was the means of winning the many victories for P. H. S. This year Piqua Hi loses four letter men, namely: johnson., Nye, Graham and Penrod, but with the new material coming into school it should have a winning combination next year. The lineup for the season was: Nye-Right Forwardg Bellmyre-Graham-Left Forward, johnson-Captain-Cem ter, Graham-Barklow-Right Guard, PenrodQLeft Guard. Subs: Fisher, Cron, Gavin, Purucker and Edge.

Not all success lies in winning each game on the score- cord. Far greater lessons have been taught by defeat than by victory. A wise man once said, lt doesn't matter so much what you do but what does matter is how you do it. Gur student body and the townspeople in general have only praise for the members of our baseball squad for the manner in which they bucked their handicaps and kept scrapping to the last minute. Our schedule this year was made up of six games, to none of which could the team look forward with visions of easy victory, and some of which would worry us even if baseball were the sport in which we excell. Our hrst set-back came at the hands of Bradford a town which has never before to my memory caused the standard of P. H. S. to be dragged in the dust. We have swallowed bitter pills but this seemed just a little bit more bitter than most of the others. The next week we played two games, and hardly had we recovered from Friday's defeat at the hands of Steele when another bombshell burst and we were trampled on heavily by Stivers. The real test of a team as we all know is, after it gets into a high-walled rut, can it pull out? Piqua stood the gaff and easily defeated Moraine Park on the week following the double measure of defeat. The old saying, however, is that, There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip. Piqua always was a staid old school and we do not want to go against any old standing rules or methods of procedure, so we slipped before we got the spoon out of the cup. A person would think that a spoon dropped such a short distance could not cause much disturb- ance. However, this one proved the exception. The dis- turbance was augmented, perhaps, by the fact that in this with Troy, our old rival, Piqua's team literally handed the game to Troy on a platter. The game seemed to lack that old Hght that made even track meets like the Steele and Stivers games interesting-But all's well that ends well and Piqua sent Troy to defeat in the last game of the season. Below are a list of the games played and the resulting scores and the usual line up for the season.

Y 1 QNQU4 A' scfxo ' N 22 73 Letter Men I ARTHUR GEILH- Art -won his letter in football this year after giving the spectators a taste of what a real lighting end is able to do. Art possessed grit and could be depended on to do his part. VVALTER GRAHAM- Red -won his letters in football basketball, and baseball. At tackle on the football squad in '20, at end and also at center in '21, he played an excellent game and was always on the job. In basketball Red was at a guard position and it was seldom that he allowed anyone to pass him. On the diamond Red held down the second sack to perfection, and was captain in '21. KENNETH JOHNSON- Kennie -had the ideal build for an end on the football squad and under Coach Mote's training he soon developed into a man who was able to take one of the flank positions on the P. H. S. grid squad. In basketball Kennie came forth as a center of the highest type, and covered himself with honor when he captained the '21 team which made the best record of any basketball team in the annals of P. H. S. On the track Kennie won high honors for his ability on the long distance runs and he scored at the Tri-State meet at Miami. WILES KELLER- Keller -who won his letter on the foot- ball squad, was one of P. H. S.'s real linemen. Keller's work as basketball manager of the '21 team is also to be com- plimented. FRANCIS NYE- Bones -is an all round athlete, winning his letters in football, basketball, baseball and track. At end on the grid squad, Nye was fast and dependable and some of his work at catching passes never will be forgotten. Bones played center and forward on the basketball team and captain- ed the team in '20, His ability to make baskets was always a feature of the game. During the baseball season he came out as a pitcher and third sacker of real quality. In the field meet Bones was entered in the high and broad jumps and his ability at this sport was not to be doubted. CHARLES PATTERSON-'fPat -though small showed himself worthy of a position on the football squad. Whenever the time came for the quarter-back to carry the ball Pat was there with the stuff. In basketball he showed himself well adapted to play forward and his speed and Hoorwork were always complimented, ARTHUR PENROD- Swede -won his letters in football, basketball and baseball and in all of these shone as one of the best. On the football squad of which he was captain in '20, he occupied the positions of tackle and full-back. The name which he made for himself in this sport will never be forgotten. A guard position was Swede's choice in basketball and he was one of the chief factors in the P. H. defense work. During the baseball season Swede was captain in '22 and held down the second sack and this he did to perfection. CORDGN STOCKHAM- Pop -will be remembered al- ways as one of P.-H. S's football and track stars. In football he won 4 letters and 2 in track. In his hrst 3 years he played every position on the line, except center and last season as captain he filled the position of full-back until he received a broken ankle. When this was healed Pop was put back on the line at his old position. ln track he succeeded as a dash man and as a shot putter. Pop has the stuff and we are looking for great things from him in the future. ,W Q M M 1 44 M IW ll I A ' if f 75 559 The Girls' Basketball Tournament The line-up for all of the games was as follows: jennette Stein, Captain e,.,,.,. .aaaY,,,aaaa a,,,aaaaa,, . . . aa,7,aoaaaa,, Forward Margaret Koester. . ,,,77, ,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,, .

G uard HE Girls' Basketball tournament which was held in March, was won by the Senior team. The games were played in the High School gymnasium, on March 3, 6, and 10th. The lirst games were played between the juniors and Seniors, the Sophomores and Freshman. The contests were won by the Seniors and Sophomores. The next two games were between the Freshman and Seniors, the Sophomores and juniors. The same two teams were victorious in these games. The Junior and Freshman teams having lost the first two games which they played, the chance for championship was narrowed down to the Seniors and Sophomores. These two teams were scheduled to meet on March 10, to play off the tie and decide the victors of the tournament. When the two teams lined up on the floor, the popular feeling was that the game would end with the Sophomores in the lead. They had a well balanced team, and excellent passwork, while the only strong points of the Seniors were their longer experience in the game and, by far the most important, their indomitable spirit. However, when the final whistle blew, the Seniors had won by a score of 10 to 8. At the beginning of the season, the Seniors were sadly depleted in numbers, and only after strenuous and severe practice, was a winning team developed. A great deal of credit is due to Miss Esther Schrider, who coached the team. Letters were awarded to every member of the winning squad at a meeting of the girls which was held several weeks later.

NVe were sorry to lose the old teachers but were glad to welcome the new ones. Miss Ellen Trovillo, the Spanish teacher, had resigned to be married. Mrs. Keifer, the French teacher, had been com- pelled to give up the work because of ill health. Mr. Bartlett, the history teacher, had accepted a position as teacher in Norwood . To teach the Spanish, Miss Roma Lindsey, a graduate of Miami University, was secured. Miss Lindsey is an alumna of Piqua and had taught one year in Plain City. For the French teacher, Miss Helen Otte, a graduate of Heidelhurg University, was secured. Miss Margaret VVood was chosen as Science teacher and director of the Girls' Glee Club. Miss VVood is a graduate of Ohio State University. Mr. Stanley Boylan was chosen for the History teacher. Mr. Boylan taught the three previous years in Bucyrus, After a year's absence Mr. Philip Gates returned to Piqua to resume his former duties as Music Instructor. Mr. Gates left Piqua for one year and was instructor of music at Hagers- town, Indiana. With the large enrollment of the freshman class new teachers were needed. Misses Ruth and Hortense VVilkinson, members of the Cadet class, have been serving as special teachers for several classes. These teachers have all shown their ability in their work and we wish to extend to them our appreciation of what they have done. LUCILLE SMITH. Cadet Class Piqua has an unusual way of giving Normal training to those preparing to teach. The pupils taking up this work teach in the mornings under the direction of the principals of Q 22 soft the various schools over the city-and meet at the high school for their classes in the afternoon. The class this year is composed of seven girls, the largest number that has ever enrolled for this work. Some of the girls have had a college course, others are graduates of the class of '21, Each one is taking a very active part in this work, and two are now teaching a few classes in the high school. Mr. Dietrich is the teacher of this class and the three books studied are, The History of Elementary Education by Parker, Psychology by Phillips and Practical Problems of School , by Waits. MARY KNOUFF. The Industrial Department The Industrial Department of Piqua High School was established in 1918. At that time many students were em- ployed in different mills, of the city, and for this reason a special course was provided which enabled students to go to school and get out early enough in the afternoon to work in a mill or factory. Under the Smith-Hughes Act, Mr. Franz was employed as Co-ordinator to supervise this work in the high school. The following year found many of the industrial students out of work, and gradually the classes grew smaller until the beginning of the present year. Then the Bing Law which was passed in 1921 forced boys and girls to attend school until eighteen years of age. This new law affected the Industrial Department and many new students were enrolled. Most of these students had been working in factories and this course seemed the best suited to them. There are at present about twenty-six industrial students. Thirteen of the twenty-six are students who have come in under the Bing Law. These students study just the industrial subjects. At the present these are: Industrial Arithmetic, English and Spelling, Textiles, Mechanical Drawing, Manual Training, Forging, and Machine work. These students at- tend school the same as high school students, starting at eight thirty in the morning and leaving at two-thirty. Industrial students other than those who come under the Bing Law, take required high school subjects in connection with the industrial work, and in this way may graduate as high school students and be able to take good positions in the factories of the country. The Industrial Department occupies two large rooms of the school building, one called the recitation room, the other the knitting and machine room. Of the two rooms, the latter is the more interesting. Some of the textile mills of the city provided the machines for this room, in which may be found a knitting machine, ten finishing machines, a winder, and an electric motor to run the machines. Pupils studying this work take a certain machine and operate it until they have a thor- ough understanding of its mechanism, and are able to produce good work. Then they go on to the next machine. In this way each pupil is given a chance to operate and learn about each and every machine in the room. Each pupil is graded according to his understanding of the machines, and the quality of the work he is able to produce. The Industrial Course should be of special interest to pupils who expect to take up industrial work after they have finished high school, as it affords them a great opportunity of preparing themselves for advancement in factory positions. JOSEPH VVYATT. Our I-Iigh School Parties The most enjoyable events given in the Piqua High School this year were the High School parties. The real purpose of these parties is to bring the pupils and teachers closer together during the school year. The first of these parties was given November 18, and was very well attended considering the unfavorable weather prevailing. A few short plays were given in the auditorum after which everyone filed into the gymnasium and enjoyed several hours of dancing. The second party was that given after the football dinner. After the dinner the football team received their letters in the auditorum, a short play was then given under the direction of Miss McKinney which was greatly enjoyed by all. After the play two hours of dancing were enjoyed in the gymnasium, These parties were a source of great enjoyment to every high school pupil, and it is greatly to be regretted that the conditions prevailing have been such that it has been necessary to discontinue them.-MARGARET WAsH1NG. High School Edition of the Piqua Daily Call. For several years it has been the custom for the high school to publish news items in the H Call but it was not until last year that a regular miniature weekly newspaper was published. This was made possible through the courtesy of the A' Call in giving us one page on Saturday of each week. At first this edition used only about five columns which were made up of editorials, news notes, personals, and filler, but this year the whole page has been taken up. Several new features have also been added, such as Senior Notes and Exchanges. The writing of the news notes has been taken over en- tirely by the 11 B. Class. In this way there are always two and sometimes three or four pupils writing on one note, thus giving a better choice from which to select. The editorials, personals, filler and exchanges are written by the 11 A. Class who have shown to themselves and to the public in general what juniors can do when it comes to writing editorials. Several committees have been chosen to help make up the paperg namely-critics-composed of Anna Keller, chairman, and two helpers, composers, with Clarence Burk as chairman, and two other students, and a committee of proof-readers composed of two members. As this is all a part of the regular English work it is under the supervision of the teacher, Miss Patterson, who devotes a great deal of time to getting the material, to criticizing and correcting the work, and to helping the various committees. Recently P. H. S. entered a contest opened by Ohio State University for all Ohio schools which publish a paper. The schools are divided into classes according to the enrollment and the winning school in each class will receive a prize. There are six requirements which the contestants must meet. Even though P. H. does not win a first prize the effort which is put into this work will certainly be fully rewarded by the good gained from it.-LELIA GUs'r1N. Better Speech Week Better Speech VVeek was observed in Piqua, December 4 to 9. This is a nation-wide movement and observance varies with local conditions. The students of some of the English classes wrote to several different schools and received suggestions for the observance of the week, among these being the use of posters, plays and talks on good English. During the week everyone was on his guard against mistakes in English especially avoiding expressions such as huh , and-a , why-a and ain't to which end contests were conducted in some of the English Classes. Posters-all the work of students-were placed every where throughout the building arousing the interest of every- one in the Better Speech movement. Later in the week a play The Trial of Bad English was given. An introduction to the play was presented by the Sophomore Class while those taking part in the play proper were chosen from fthe Junior and Senior English Classes. The play, throughout, forcefully emphasized the use of good English. The Good English number of the Piquonian was issued at this time. In it Piqua men and women prominent in the various walks of life gave their opinions as to the value of good English. Although the week observed as Better Speech Week, has passed, .the corrections made during that week are well re- membered. From this it is evident that much of the improve- ment in the standard of speech used was permanent, and that the observance of the week was of real value in the training for better speech.-MARGARET WALSH. Qu t i x U son The Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club of the High School with an enroll- ment of forty-two members has continued its activities through the year. Soon after the school term began in September a meeting was held to reorganize the club at which Dorothy Furrow was elected president, and Kathryn Franz, secretary. The club meetings have been held every two weeks on Thurs- day under the direction of Miss McKinney. The members having been divided into sections, several short plays prepared by these sections were given before the club at the different meetings. The dramatic ability of some of the students has been rather surprising and all concerned have found the organization a benefit as well as a pleasure. Two short plays were presented before the student body during the year. The first 'fThe Hazing of Valiant was given in November after the football dinner. The other entitled Christmas Giving was presented in connection with the Christmas exercises before the Holidays. Both plays were enthusiastically received by the students and the club was encouraged to continue its activities. Much of the success of the club is due to the untiring efforts of the director Miss McKinney, who has spent a great amount of time in sending for and selecting appropriate plays. She has been very kind in supervising rehearsals and the members feel that due recognition should be given her for her work.-LoU1sE Konsrnn. Motion Pictures in the I-Iigh School During the past several years visual education through motion pictures has been carried on in the high school. This work has been under the able direction of Mr. Fletcher Moffett and has been very successful. The pictures shown this year were of the type especially appealing to children and for that reason they were not given for the general public in the evening. They were given dur- ing the lunch periods for the benefit of the high school pupils and after school for the grade students. The shows given in the afternoon were well attended by the younger children and were greatly enjoyed by them. A very interesting series of films was presented that dealt with the work, privileges, and pleasures experienced by the working man or woman in the modern large factory. Films were shown too, that helped to make clear many points in the various studies of the pupils, for example, a penmanship Elm that was very helpful to the class in that subjectg and a very interesting film on the Hlonization of VVater that answered many questions in the minds of the Chemistry Class. This form of visual education is proving very successful and since the pictures are instructive as well as entertaining they will no doubt become a regular part of the school program. ELM,-X K. CREENBANK. The Football Banquet lt has been the custom for many years in Piqua I-ligh School for the girls of the Domestic Science classes to give a banquet to the football team. On December 9, the team of 1921 was entertained with a fine dinner. The tables were beautifully decorated with the school colors of red and blue. The boys found their places with the help of the small hand painted place cards which represented a football man. After a most enjoyable dinner, the toast- master Mr. VVilson, called upon several of the team for re- marks on the benefits derived from football. After the team had presented Mr. Mote with an icy hot bottle in appreciation of his efforts to make the team the champion, all went to the auditorium, where the boys were awarded their letters. A few stunts and a play were presented and then every one adjourned to the gymnasium for an hour or two of clancing.wRUTH GERLACH. 'Deb ating Club The hope of those who wanted a Debating Club was realized, when in the last week in February the announcement was made that a debating club would be organized under the supervision of Mr. Stanley Boylan, teacher of history. At the first meeting an election was held, in which Albert Roeser was elected president, and Charles Magee vice- president. The president appointed a committee consisting of Margaret Price, Margaret VVashing and James Tupper to select suitable topics for debates and to decide upon the teams for each debate. The object of the club, as of all other debating clubs, is to make each member a better speaker, a more logical thinker, a more widely read student, and to maintain an interest in vital and important subjects before the American public. The first debate was held three weeks after the inital meeting. The subjectwas, Resolved: that final examinations as a test for knowledge should be abolished in Piqua High School. The affirmative team composed of Margaret Price, Margaret Vllashing, and James Tupper won from 'the negative team, the members of which were Lillian Douthitt, Kenneth johnson, and Wiles Keller. The second debate was held two weeks laterat which time the subject of debate was, Resolved: that capital punishment should be abolished in the United States. The negative team, David Harbaugh, Emanuel Kahn and Albert Roeser won. The affirmative team which was forced to bow to defeat, was composed of Pauline Hauschildt, Donald Yochem and Vertrees Agenbroad. Every two weeks subjects of equal importance were debated, giving practically every member of the club at least one chance to show his ability as a debater. Although the club has been organized, less than a year, it is evident that if the interest continues next year as it has this, the club will be able to make a name for Piqua High School in interscholastic debating.-M. VV. KELLER, Secretary 9 4 iw ,QxQ U4 39622 G2 s ceo Spanish Club VVe, the members of El Fuego Fatuo Cjack-U-Lanternl, hereby make our bow to the readers of the Piquonian. At last the efforts of our Spanish instructor have been crowned with success and a Spanish Club has been added to the list of activities of Piqua High School. On March 8, the club was organized and the following ollicers were elected: President-Agnes Lange, '2Z. Vice-Presidentflidna Shane, '23. Sec'y and Treas.-Flora Manahan, '22. The club aims to increase the use of Spanish conversation, to increase the members' knowledge of Spam, her people, and their customs. To this end programs, dealing with the dress, amusements, and social customs of the people, the beautiful places of Spain, and the national music, opera, literature and art, have been arranged by the committee. These programs are usually given in English for the benefit of those members who have just begun the study of Spanish. However, all business meetings are conducted in Spanish according to parliamentary rules. The results of the club work are already evident in the work of the Spanish classes. The vocabularies of the members have been increased, pronunciation has been bettered, some- thing of Spain and her people has been learned, and the mem- bers have begun to appreciate the Spanish language. Since the members of El Fuego Fatuo have derived so many benefits from club work, let us hope that the Spanish club may be a lasting organization in Piqua High School. AoN1zs LANGE. The Servant in the l-louse The drama, 'fThe Servant in the House produced by the players of Ohio Weslyan University which was brought to the High School on March 22 by the present Senior class was ably given and the acting was worthy of professionals. All of the parts were well taken especially that of Manson who had the difficult role ofa disguised butler to play. Great skill was required in acting the part of Mary for it is not easy for a grown person to portray a child as young and enthusi- astic as she. Each character was well able to play his part and the audiance was fascinated by the feeling and expression each one manifested. All of those who saw the play were not only entertained, but deeply impressed by the lesson which it taught. LILLIAN DOUTHITT. A Radio Club One of the new and promising clubs organized in P. H. S. this year is the Radio Club. The first meeting was held on Monday, March 6, under the supervision of Mr. Hensler teacher of science. At this meeting the following officers were elected: Laurel Kettler, President, John Dunn, vice-president: and Robert McCabe, secretary. There were twenty-six boys present at the Hrst meeting but at a later meeting girls were admitted. At the fourth meeting the club had a total enroll- ment of thirty boys and six girls. The recent popularity of sending and receiving music and lectures by radio has encouraged many to join this club. Books on radio were added to the school library for the purpose of instructing the members of the club in this subject. Many members are constructing their own radio sets with success and at the same time are obtaining practical experience in the use of these sets. At the regular meetings of the club members are instructed in radio and questions are answered pertaining to lt. K Plans are now being made to establish a radio receiving instrument in our school for the club of next year. The out- look for next year is very promising. VVith the old members who will remain in school and new members who will be en- rolled, the Radio club will be a real benefit to the school and to the students who belong to it.-DoN YOCHIQM. The Lyceum Course The Lyceum Course this year has been a great success. Some of the best speakers and entertainers on the Lyceum Platform were secured. The first number was given December 2, 1920, by Vilhjalmur Stefansson. Mr. Stefansson is a noted Arctic explorer, and gave a talk on his travels in the Arctic regions. Several slides were shown, to illustrate this lecture. On December 26, the National Male Quartette was here and gave a delightful program, which included some clever im- personations and some old plantation or jubilee songs. The next number was on january 23, 1922. Gregory Mason, editorial writer for the Outlook magazine, was the speaker. Mr. Mason has traveled extensively and proved to be a very able speaker. Un February 2, Dr. Charles Zueblin spoke on the subject of civic improvement. Mr. Zueblin made a tour of the city previous to his lecture and was able to make some good suggestions in regard to improving Piqua. On February 10, Mr. Adrian M. Newans presented a monologue, The Message from Mars. The final number of the Course was a scientific lecture given April 3, by Dr. Arthur D. Carpenter, who is one of the greatest scientific lecturers of the present day. The Lyceum Course this year has been one of the most expensive ever brought to Piqua. It is not often that a course like this one can be secured and the people of Piqua should be proud of its success and of the opportunity they have of attending these numbers.-CECELIA BRINK. xQ U Q 22 4 , w e 6 I A ig ' iz.

'ruPnER 22 I You Never ' DO'hope the summer won't be like this, VVinifred Lane exclaimed as she sat with her chum in their spacious living room. 'AI believe this makes the third time it has rained this week. Ch, I hope not, too. It would make your camp life so disagreeable, sympathized Winifred's friend Vivian. Your camp life, excalimed VVinifred quickly, Hwhy Vivian Ward, you very well know you're going too. I'm afraid not this year, Freddy. You see I have a hundred dollars to make yet this summer before I can be sure that I shall be able to go away to school this fall. HBut Vivian, you must go. Something will happen so you can get the money. just think how disappointed mother and glean will be, to say nothing of the boys. I know. I'm sorry to disappoint anyone. But you know, VVinifred, my uncle's will said I must have five hundred Can Tell. dollars before I could claim my legacy and I just must have that money by this fall. But you have your roadster, you could sell that, if you couldn't do any better. You don't even have any idea how much he left you, do you? UNO, I wasn't to be told, until I had met my require- ments, but surely it wasn't enough to send me to school or he wouldn't have wanted me to earn any more. HI wouldn't think so either. I wonder if its one thousand or maybe one thousand five hundred, then when you earn live hundred you will have two thousand, enough for four years in college if you are economical. I hope it's that much but you never can tell , sighed Vivian. I know you can't, funny isn't it? But, she declared, 'A I think it is just too mean if this old will keeps you from going camping with us this summer. QKQ U4 Hifi-'DQZZ QB Soo QXGU4 fffx dlf o,7 Soho Well, I'm afraid it will because I don't want to sell my roadster, it was father's delight when he was still with us. You know I'd hate to give it up. I've been thinking I might make money with it, this summer. But now I must run along or mother will think I have fallen into a mud puddle. Bye- bye, don't take my fate too hard. We'll only be separated three months and maybe I can run up and see you if my busi- ness doesn't prove too strenuous. Goodbye Don't forget tomorrow, and maybe by that time you will have thought of a different plan so that you will be able to go with us yet. But by the next day another plan was not discovered nor by the next week, and finally the day in june came when Vivian watched the departure of her friends for their camp along Mirror Lake among the Saffron Mountains. With no definite plan in view but with a strong will power and a courageous heart, she was far from discouraged. The next morning she received a note from Dr. Bruh, the town's woman surgeon, and an old friend of her father's, ask- ing her to call at ten. W'hen she arrived the doctor explained her plight. You see, my dear, I'm out of a chauffeur, and I wondered if you wouldn't like to drive me for a while. My own driver has been called home for the summer because of illness in the family, and as I can not drive the car and do not know when or where I can get another chauffeur I am in a real difficulty. Can you do it, do you think? Oh, I'd love it, exclaimed Vivian eargerly. Good! Then try and arrange to be ready for business in the morning, Vivian. As to your pay, how would fifteen a week and the repairs on your car do? Oh, that's a great deal, isn't it, just for me to drive a machine? Of course I need money, but I must earn it. You'll earn it, all right. Constant driving is tiresome. Then too, I've heard of the rate of speed with which you travel, at times, and of the wonderful control you have over your machine. It's surely worth a great deal to know that art. All right, responded Vivian, I'm at your service.' So the summer passed quickly, Vivian doing her duty at her beloved wheel, spinning thru the country with the doctor in perfect ease at her side, or when business was slack, helping her mother with the flowers and small garden. One morning while on their way to Jerfit, a small town near by, the doctor told Vivian of a call she had received from Tigertown. That means we must start early in the morning, for I must be ready for work the day after tomorrow. Tigertown, repeated Vivian thoughtfully, why that's just a few miles from the Lane's camp! Oh, do you suppose I could run over and visit them a little? You know I always have gone with them until this year. Of course you can, and I promise you a two day's visit and maybe three. Oh, that'll be grand, enthused Vivian. Two days later Vivian found herself in the old familiar places, surrounded by her friends. 'fNow, do tell us, Vivian, begged Winifred, Ujust what has been happening to you. Your letters have been so short. You surely must have made oodles of money if you have been making it all the time except when you wrote a line or two. I surely have been making it, and really if it wasn't for the night and rainy day calls, I'd think it was pretty easily made, although I do get pretty tired sometimes of driving so fast. You get tired of driving fast, well this is something new, but how much did you make? inquired Winifred's sister Jean. Well then, prepare yourselves, everybody, I've saved so far this summer, one hundred dollars, with half of a month to work yet. But Vivian, exclaimed Winifred jumping up, How much money did your uncle leave you? How much? My dear friend, I have told you I wasn't to know until-- . HBut you have, you big goose, do you mean to say that you now have hve hundred dollars and haven't inquired into your legacy? and Vlfinifred fairly shook her friend in her excitement. I guess I haven't, Freddy. I've been so busy, I'd even forgottenl once had a rich uncle. I can find out now, can't I? and she looked eagerly into her friend's face. But I can't go back for two days because Dr. Bruh won't be ready until thenf' And I'm going back with you, Winifred cried. Oh, mother, can't we break camp in two days and go home. I just must go with Vivian when she goes to the bank to Find out how much money she has. So it was arranged that the Lanes were to go back home two weeks before they had planned. Great excitement pre- vailed over the packing, as the old question was again the topic of the day. The girls were so eager and excited they Could talk of nothing else. . Finally the day after they arrived home, the girls set out bright and early for the city in which the uncle had lived and where the bank held Vivian's golden treasure. HOh, my heart is beating so fast, said Winifred as they neared the city. 'fBe careful, Vivian, I do believe you nearly hit that chicken. Almost but not quite-. I do hope it's just as happy on that side of the road as it was before it started across. I hope its happier, or, it should be thankful at least, Winifred added. I wonder if we'll be happier-oh, here we are and the bank is only two blocks away. I'd like .to squeal, I feel so funny. So do Ig there must be something waiting for us, to make us feel this way, don't you think? In the bank Vivian stepped to the window marked A'Teller and asked for the president who was the admins- trator of her uncle's estate. She and Winifred were shown into a handsomely furnished room to await him. A moment later he appeared. After Vivian had introduced herself and had presented her bank-book to prove that she had S500 the president looked very thoughtful and at length spoke very kindly: Very well done, my young friend, do you know what amount you are to receive from your uncle's estate?,' UNO , answered Vivian, That was part of it. I wasn't to know until I had my five hundred. Very well, you certainly have been in earnest to have earned it already. If I remember rightly-and I feel assured my memory has not tricked me your uncle left his niece Vivian five thousand dollars. ' Five thousand dollars, both girls cried with a gasp, remaining as statues until Winifred awakening exclaimed. Why, Vivian, five thousand dollars, you're rich. I never dreamed of that much. After Vivian had been assured that there was no mistake they started excitedly for home. 'fFive thousand dollars, repeated Winifred softly. Hjust think, Vivian, you'll have three thousand all your own to spend when you are through college. What will you do with it? Oh, I think I'll save it. Vivian answered happily. I might need a sum to collect another legacy some time. You never can tell. MABEL E. MORROW. 4 cc 9' On the Threshold of the Unknown S there anything you would like to say? asked the warden as he carefully adjusted the straps to the prison- er's arms. This suddenly brought me back to the realization that this poor deformed man, who was scarcely over four feet tall, humpbacked with long apish arms, Hat head, and face with a chalky white complexion, was to he electrocuted in a few short minutes. He answered in a hoarse grating voice, HAH I can say is that this world never gave me a chance, I was born as crippled, and deformed as you see me now. The doctor said that by an operation, me back could be straightened. But how was an operation to be performed when me father and mother didn't have the money and the world didn't care whether I was a cripple or not? Things didn't go so bad, until when I was in thc sixth grade me mother and father were both taken from me by the Hu , and left me with not a friend to help me a little now and then. ' Well, after me old folks died, why, I just had to live, and the only thing I could do was to sell papers. There isn't so much money in sellin' papers, and to tell you the truth I only just made enough to fill me hungry belly without rentin' a room. As luck would have it, a kind old gent what run a gamblin' house let me sleep in the cellar. H 'Stead of going to bed at nights I use to sit up an' watch 'em play cards. Course after a while when I saw how easy it was fer them to make money, why I naturally quit sellin' papers an' got into the profession. Well, the first night I set in at a game I didn't make so much, 'cause you see I wasn't on to all the tricks of the game. It didn't take me long to learn the ins and outs of the game, and it wasn't very long until I was able to live in ease on what I had. He interrupted himself to admonish the warden. Go easy, pard, don't pull them straps on me legs too tight. Then he continued his story. VVell, things run along smoothly for a long time and it commenced to look as I wasn't livin' in the old world any more. I kind of thought things was goin' too smooth, and I hadn't thought of it but the day before: when that night the cops raided the joint and I had to say 'goodmorning' to the judge for the First time. I-Ie was hard on me, had me sent over the road fer three years, just because me mother and father died when I needed 'em most and there wasn't anybody inter- ested in a feller like me. So they just kept helpin' me to go down. A nice square deal I got. It was three long years what I put in up the road, and while I was up at the pen I decided I'd turn over and try to do right. When I got out, I went out to look for a job, and every place I went as soon as they found out that I had done a little spell up at the pen well there wasn't any what'ld give a down and out man a chance. I had to live and I couldn't get a job and I couldn't gamble 'cause I didn't have the cash. There was nothin' left for me to do and so I got to be a hold-up guy. A' It was a simple job. All you had to do was to step up to 'em and make 'em know you meant business and I never had a one who didn't fork over his bank. There is plenty of excitement in the hold-up game but once you get the gambling fever, there ain't no hope so it wasn't long before I was at it again. Some nights I'd win and then again I'd lose. One night I was losin' kind of heavy and I says to myself, 'There's somethin' mighty crooked about this somewhere, jest keep your eyes glued on them cards.' I watched them all the time but it seemed as if I couldn't get anything on 'em. I' I'd give up hope of findin' what was doin' when I noticed how fast he picked up the cards but what also struck me was that he was pickin' 'em up one at a time. I says to him pick 'em up all at once you needn't be so particular about the way they're picked up. Course that made him mad and he drew a gun on me but I hadn't gambled all my life for nothin' and I pulled just a little faster'n he did, and here I am all strapped in ready for the juice to tickle me to sleep. You say 'Why did you do it, ' No you don't say it but you think it. It's jus cause when I was a boy nobody thought enough of a poor deformed nipper to watch me, as somebody should have done, and after I had went over the road nobody would let me come clean and go straight. This world ain't run right. I hope wherever I go, the place is run so that a person what's down and out, has got a show to come back and make good, even if he has got the stamp of the pen on him. Tell 'em to turn on the juice. Wherever I go it at least isn't any worse than this world. H Minister, I'm already past savin'3 jus use that breath on some of the poor little critters that you see on the street and give'em a boost up. Remember it was all cause the world keeps shoven a poor orphan nipper down that I'm here. Help them fo ---- . He shook convulsively and the figure that a moment before lived, was now nothing but an insignificant piece of clay. VVILES KELLER. When John ls Tired. HE lot of Mary Perkins was that of many another farm woman whose husband, after years of labor had become one of the prosperous men of the community. Those first years had been far from prosperous ones for John and Mary Perkins. The second year after they were married the potatoes withered suddenly at a time when they were looking green and vigorous. The very next year Bess died, the pretty Jersey cow Mary's mother had given her when they were married. It is still well remembered in Fertile Creek com- munity how Mary did the work in the fields the spring when john was kicked by a horse, and compelled to sit for weeks with his leg in a cast. No one heard her complain although her days were from sun to sun and far into the night. In sickness and death her face was a familiar one, helping and comforting with a gentle smile upon her lips. g Now it was thirty years last month since she had come to live in the old farm house. She had experienced much of sorrow and joy within its walls and much of patient labor. Tomorrow, Robert, the youngest was to return from college. There must be cherry pie and molasses cookies baked, for they were Robert's favorite dainties. Such a hustle and bustle there was in the kitchen, while Mary sang as she worked and thought of tomorrow. She must hurry for she wanted so much to go to the Ladies' Aid Society meeting that afternoon. just as her plans were completed for her morning's work the screen door opened and in walked John Perkins with shoulders drooped and a frown on his face. Mary had seen that frown so often, 'that it had come to mean to her a little extra business on hand or something wrong about the barn. That's always the way, said he. HAH twenty of the red pigs are over in Jones' oats Held. I don't see how on earth they got out, I staked that fence all around not a week ago. You'll have to help me get them out before they do any more damage. 'I Can't you ask the jones boy to help you? I'm so busy, answered Mary. Q 22 9 4 M soft He never could get them cornered. You know more about them than he does. Mary put on her bonnet without a murmur and they started after the pigs, but all the time she was thinking of those molasses cookies still in the making and of the meeting which she was planning to attend that afternoon. Those red pigs displayed the obstinacy of all pigs. They couldnlt find the place where they had crawled through the fence, although John had made the hole twice as large as it had been and thought they couldn't help finding it. Every time those pigs approached the gap they suddenly decided they wanted to go somewhere else, tramping down the oats as they went. The sun became hotter, the pigs became hotter, and john's frown became deeper. The sun had reached its highest point when the pigs decided they had eaten enough and would feel more comfortable in the shade on the other side of the fence, so they filed through the gap which they could neither be coaxed nor driven to see earlier in the morning. Mary went back to the house with a heavy heart and be- gan her work at once, for the noon meal must be over and the baking finished by one-thirty. Then she would ask john to take her to the meeting in the new car. It was with unpleasant foreboding that she saw john sink into a chair on the veranda at one-fifteen and declare he must have some rest that afternoon, but having learned wisdom by long years of experience, she said nothing. Delicious cherry pies and molasses cookies were cooling on the table when at last she hurried away to dress. She soon appeared on the veranda in an immaculate shirt waist and skirt, with her cheeks fiushed after a morning of hard labor in the heat. 'fWill you take me over to the meeting? she asked in her gentlest tones. 'fl promised I'd surely be there. I'm too tired, and then Baker said he would be over after those chickens this afternoon. You should be here to see them weighed. Can't you see them weighed? she asked. 'AI thought I would clean off that barn fioor some time this afternoon. Mary, disappointed and with a drawn face turned to go into the house when the sound of footsteps was heard on the walk behind her. Hello, Motheru, said a voice close behind. HHello, Dad. i Wie didn't expect you until tomorrow, said his father shaking hands with him. K just thought I would drop in today and surprise you a little, Mother, you look as if you were intending to go some- where. I did want to go to the Aid Society meeting this after- noon, but your father says he is tired and will be busy later in the afternoon, but since you have come we will just sit here and talk. Not a bit of it. You've worked like a Trojan to get ready, I'll wager a penny, and besides I'm crazy to drive the new car. Come on. I will take you over and we can talk tonight. Remember I shall be home for two months. The car was soon at the door and in a few minutes they were on their way to the meeting while John Perkins still sat on the veranda and tried to make himself believe that he had been too tired to drive the car. He might have succeeded had it not been for the memory of a quizzical smile on Robert's face as he asked, Now, what have you and mother been doing to make you so tired?

Index Of the forehead-If the forehead is scarcely dis- cernible through overhanging hair, the person is either sloven- ly or boycotting the barbers. On the other hand if the fore- head is especially prominent due to the absence of curling locks it proves the person has a particular aversion to wigs or has been a recent member of the Ball and Chain Club so popular in our state kept institutions. Index of the eyes-If the eyes are carefully covered with spectacles, it is a sure sign of weakness in the individual. Sometimes, however, glasses if held on a stick show the posses- sor to be quite cultured and correct. Large, round, vacantly soft eyes Cespecially if their owner is an inveterate gum chewerj denote the easy going, domesticated, and chewing nature common to certain animals, vis. the Bulldog and the Jersey Cow. Index Of the mouth-The mouth that is perpetually working goes with the person who either eats too much or talks continually. This last type is particularly common among women. The person who continually shows his or her teeth, contrary to the general conception, is not threatening to bite one-quite the opposite. It is merely an endeavor to display the friendly nature that always accompanies a smile. A mouth that isalways in repose denotes a characteristic as rare as it is heavenly-to wit!-lock-jaw. I will say in concluding my valuable lessons that I would advise the student of Human Nature to go back into time and again study diligently each index as it comes and I can as- sure him that no matter how many times he does this he will still find them a source of profit in adding to his already great fund of knowledge concerning reading character at sight.

The Fable of the Misguidecl Man Apologies to George Ade. Once upon a time, in the days of Flivers, Rubber Heels, and Nelson's Hair Tonic, a man, very wise in the ways of the wily, galoshed-clad Flapper, invented the Eskimo Pie. Now jazz may come, and Jazz may go, but the Call of the little lost Delicacy is not to be disregarded. The Tide of Human Events cannot be checked, and lo, and behold, according to the Prophets, the Fame of the Chocolate Covered Sweet spread, and not even the Mighty Coca-Cola itself, could stop the desperate onslaught. Plumbers, Co-eds, Lounge-Lizards, and Human Beings. all fell and fell hard. Can it be doubted that this Discoverer of the Original Dime Consumer rolled in Wealth? Men were distracted from their absorbing occupation of Golf to partake of the Dainty Morselg and Babies fell out of their cradles so that they might reach them and get Colic. The Poor Mortal struggled to be rid of the shackles of Gold which bound him, and even Gave some away to charitable institutions, such as the New York Roof Garden. Even then the Man lived an Unhappy Life, to the end of his Career, only having One Home, One Family, and One Fortune. MORAL: Don't start anything you can't finish. JENNETTE STEIN. l-lighyuhrotta's Graduala. In the valley of Miami, by the swiftly rushing river Stood the pretty town of Piquag busy, buzzing town of Piqua: Nestled there a High School rested.

From the Indian Poet, By Kennyhaha. Don't You Wish You Knew? What made H. T. D. drop Virgil? What is Helen Crawford's art of ticket selling? VVhy Art Geil prefers the French room to the lunch room?

Why Red Graham adores Christmas, especially the decorations? VVhether Wiles Keller could catch a pig in an alley? Nonie had a pussy cat, It warbled like Caruso, But Francis swung a baseball bat Now pussy does not do so. There was a young maiden named Betty, Who always was peevish and fretty, One day she got mad When her shoe strings went bad And laced up her shoes with spaghetti. Kenny Bomhard-What did you say? Leonard Snyder-Nothing. Kenny-I know that, but I wondered how you expressed it this time. It was a hard exam. Gretta was in difficulty. Her brain was in turmoil. If I could only reflect! she sighed. Then she thot of the mirror in her vanity case. Don Yochem-I hear some of these teachers lead a fast life. Cap-MI doubt it. None of 'em passed me this year.

Cromwell cast a despairing look at his left tire and ejaculated, Elatter than two Cavalier's heads. Oh, Brutus, my kingdom for a Roundhead tire. After several futile attempts to patch the blow-out he was about to give up in despair when a sound of horses' hoofs was audible in the dis- tance, In another moment Emperor Nero had reined in his horses beside the unfortunate motorist and with his well known generous sympathy had tendered the woeful Oliver his only spare tire. It was a bad fit but Nero labored hard and at the end of an hour he rose triumphant but sorrowfully be- grimed and weary from the troublesome left rear wheel. Mounting his sorrel steed he bade the monocled Englishman adieu and passed hurriedly on to Middle at Rome. He had not yet reached Alexandria ere he was overtaken by the Leader of the Commonwealth whom he had just aided and who now begged leave to accompany him to the Bonfire party to be held at Rome. Nero was well pleased with the prospect of company and readily assented. They first stopped at Rio de Ianerio for more picnicers namely Hercules, Alexander the Great, Pocahontas and Enoch Arden all bound for the big fete. Next the steamer docked at Rossville. Here there was some confusion in time, for the metropolis had long since adopted the Daylight Savings plan. Only one pilgrim joined the sojourners at this point. It was no less personage than our esteemed ex-ruler. This was the last scheduled stop but before the company had reached the scene of merrymaking, their numbers were swelled by the addition of Garibaldi, Mutt and Jeff, Lafayette, Sir Oliver Dodge and Babe Ruth, this last being the only infant mentioned in the entire course of events.

Yet with this unusual strength these shovels are lighter than similar shovels made of other steels. Think of the saving in replacement cost that such a shovel, multiplied many times, will mean to you in a week, a month, a year. Its lightness alone is of vital importance. Figure out for yourself, what a saving of only a few ounces in weight of a shovel would mean when multiplied by a day's shoveling. But in addition to its lightness, the unusual toughness inherent in Mo-lyb-den-um steel guar- antees longer shovel life than you have been used to-even under the most severe usage. And the uniform hardness of Wood's Mo- lyb-den-um steel shovels means almost imper- ceptible wear. Think of the battering such shovels will stand without cracking or breaking-admirably adopted to the punishment a shovel meets in railroad service. The straps of Woodis Mo-lyb-den-um steel shovels are Welded securely and cleanly to the blade-and we absolutely guarantee the welds. Where the straps are riveted to the handle they are countersunk, eliminating any danger of injury to hands. The handles themselves are of second growth Northern Ash. After they are received from the maker they are very carefully regarded at our own factory and are then air seasoned in our own warehouses for from nine to twelve months before being used. Wood's Mo-lyb-den-um steel shovels fill a crying need in railroading. They give you all the exceptional advantages of Mo-lyb-den-um steel plus the exacting workmanship and care- ful finishing that have always characterized the Wood line.
