CYRUS Holmes, Taney Town ' s big postmaster, leaned through the post- master ' s window, talking to a small girl, Dodo, aged five, who was much enthused about talking to Uncle Cy. Come, Dora. Come here at once, a woman ' s voice called sharply. Almost before Cyrus Holmes realized it, the little visitor was whisked away out of his sight by her mother, who never wanted Dodo to talk to Uncle Cy. And Cyrus wondered. At the supper table Cyrus wondered again. Mother was unusually quiet. Even Bee, their youngest daughter, and the only one at home now, was silent, although usually such a chatterbox. Soon the feeling that he was being watched became unbearable. What ' s the matter that Bee isn ' t going to the dance with Dan? He asked slowly, turning to his wife. If it ' s the clothes, we ' ll manage that. It ' s not the clothes, but I think there ' s some trouble between Dan and Bee, she stammered, and set hurriedly to picking up the dishes. Cyrus arose and ambled off to the barn, followed by Dickie, the ancient spaniel. Amid the clutter of miniature houses, in his work room under the rafters he began to think. Once he had longed to be a great architect, so when the children came he built doll houses for them. Gradually his children grew up and the little girls of Taney Town all brought Uncle Cy bits of flowered silk and wall paper, lace from candy boxes and the like, and adored him as he formed the tiny trifles into lace eui ' tains, and dimunitive upholstered chairs. He especially adored all things Elizabethan, and occupied himself in copy- ing in detail an Elizabethan banquet hall with it ' s great oak table, it ' s tapestries and armor. Cyrus pressed Dickies head tightly between the palms of his hands, rose and groped for the lantern near by. For a long time bending there in the flickering light of the lantern, he worked in utter content at a morsel of difficult carving. Dan ' s voice carried to him from the gateway where he heard, Why, your father — . The words trailed off into nothingness. If you won ' t understand then — I won ' t go to the dance with you, ' he heard from Bee. What ever the fault it was not Dan ' s, he thought, as he slipped into the kitchen door. Why had his name been mentioned in the talk at the gate? The following day Miss Polly Primsall, who saw Cyrus dressing a little colonial lady to rule over a colonial house (and which he had smuggled down to the postoffice to work on during slack hours) declar ed, It ' s wors ' n Sam Dean who knits. There ' s some sense in his knitting. Cy, who overheard the expression, knew she was comparing him to a man who had a mind like a woman ' s. This contempt touched him in a raw spot. The first real blow fell on the following morning, however, when Tom Dillon, President of the Union Bank and the big political man of Taney Town, quietly informed Cy that he was serving his last term as postmaster. Yet Cy had been so faithful to his work, and moreover without a single complaint from Dillon. Cyrus finished the morning routine and found himself alone in his own barn loft. There was something back of it — Tom Dillon who had been a friend from school days; and if Tom switched there was a reason. He had felt for a week as if something was working against him ; as though the whole town had a secret from which he alone was shut out. Sitting there by the open window Cyrus heard voices and a sound like falling pebbles. Mother and Bee were shelling peas on the back porch. It ' s been growing on him, sighed Mother, But you are a foolish girl, Bee. Dan ' s folks would get over it. I tell you I can ' t do it. Dan is hard to manage, Mother. If I could only get away. We ' ve got to be careful, though. Dad mustn ' t suspect it. If we could only get the play houses away from him, and get his mind on something else. So that was it — . The meaning of the misunderstanding between Bee and Dan, the reason Dodo was no longer safe with him, and the reason he could no longer be postmaster. They thought he, Cyrus Holmes was insane. He would show them. He would burn the doll houses, and stay home nights, reading the newspaper as other men did. The people were fools, every one of them. Back at the postoffice he sat brooding over the little colonial house when suddenly the door slammed and standing before him was a vision. A child whose golden hair and shell-pink daintiness suggested a fairy princess done in water-colors. The child stood laughing up at Cyrus. She reminded him of Dodo, but instead of being round like a gum drop, she was fragile like a rose petal, and he realized that her frock was unknown in the little town of Taney. Sylvia. Oh, Sylvia, called a woman ' s voice which Cyrus knew to be strange. Naughty girl, scolded the mother, She runs away. She took the child in her arms and inquired of Cyrus, Is there a hotel here? Taney Town has one hotel, stammered Cyrus, but who wants such a fairy child as that to be taken to that dingy place? We have a spare room, so come home with me. Hugh, dear, she said, wheeling to face the dark-skinned young man who entered. The postmaster says he ' s a spare room. It ' s mighty fine of you. My name ' s Laidlow — my wife and child. And I ' m Cyrus Holmes. Supper went well. Mr. and Mrs. Laidlow hailed from New York and were jolly young people. Mrs. Laidlow and Mother talked of jams while Sylvia played with Dickie. Cyrus, finding himself superfluous slipped away to the loft when the meal was over. Dickie padded after him, Sylvia trailing. On the threshold she caught her breath. ' ' Oh, ' ' she cried, dropping to the floor bf eore the little colonial house. Sylvia ' s house. Does Sylvia like it now? But now, Uncle Cy ' s forgotten. We ' re going to make a bon-fire out of this great big beautiful house. Sylvia can watch it burn. No. cried the child, stamping her foot. No, Sylvia ' s house. And suddenly bursting into tears she ran sobbing from the barn. Cyrus was still standing helpless when she returned dragging her mother with her. Why, it ' s colonial. Even the spinning wheel, exclaimed Mrs. Laidlow. Her glance leapt from one house to another. Claire ' s crazy over colonial stuff, her husband remarked coming in. You ' ve struck her hobby. She haunts unique places. But you ' ve struck something else, he said, eyes narrowing. I sold a doll house to a wealthy customer last Christmas for a hundred and fifty dollars. I ' m in the business, and if I had a couple of these for window features — ' ' Down here in a little town like this, when he ' s so marvelous. Why, Hugh, it isn ' t right. Anyone who can design things like this ought to do something big, Mr. Holmes. I was going to, once. Cyrus ' eyes were vague like an old man ' s but I been building doll houses so long, I doubt if I could ever do anything else. Bosh, cut in the younger man. The value of the things is in the uniqueness. ' ' Later mother found an envelope in the house containing fifty dollars from Mrs. Laidlow for the doll house. Seems like robbery, said Cy, but I guess Mr. Laidlow knows. Here Bee, take this money and go to the dance tonight, will you? . His daughter stared at the money in bewilderment; then took the note from her mother ' s hand and read it twice. On a September morning two months later, Cyras sat in the postoffice and re- read the amazing article on Uncle Cy — The Man Who Builds Doll Houses. True, it was only a little People Who Are Doing Curious Things article squeezed into a half a page; but the magazine was very prominent. Even Tom Dillon was urging Cy to start his bank account with the Union Bank, for, he pointed out to Cy, that so much money left around the house might be stolen. Well, I might consider giving Bee the position she wanted, laughed Dillon. No, she and Dan are going to be married, I think, replied Cy. I see, twinkled Dillon, and I can ' t say I ' m surprised. Tom left Cy in a splendid stupor which he came out of to find Dodo ' s small face tilted toward him. His heart fell — she covered her face with a tiny hand as if in fear. But wait — she was peeping at him through spreading fingers, laughing. Cyrus was only conscious of the smiling neighbors as he swung her up to the window ledge. Could Uncle Cy use pretty stones that Dodo finds, could he? she asked, patting his cheek. Pretty stones? His hand clasped over her sticky fists. Why Uncle Cy could use pretty stones any number of ways. Alice Cobb small round hole, a little mouse, The mouse creeps from his tiny house.

So let me then the moral map, Where there is cheese, beware the trap ! A T eueomG Francis Eu Daly, ' 23. HE sun is sinking in the west, The day is done.

DUSK was settling over the city when two gentlmen seated themselves near the open grate fire in a private room of the most exclusive men ' s club in New York. One, whom we shall call The Man, was rather tall and well built with dark hair, faintly tinged with gray. The man ' s features were not of unusual type except that there was a long white scar under his chin running all the way across, but scarcely noticeable unless his head was thrown backward. The other was The Cynic, who was slightly shorter and who looked to be forty years old, about the same age of his companion. Both wore evening clothes and both looked to be successful. The Cynic leaned forward and stirred the dying embers of the fire, which immediately blazed forth, sending a shower of sparks which shot upward for a fraction of a moment, then died again. How like a dormant being who receives an inspirational stirring up and blazes forth with all the fire and energy of youth, only to die out from lack of repeated encouragement, observed the Man. True indeed, my friend, was the Cynic ' s rejoining answer. The fire was the only means of illumination in the room and it east strange grotesque yet beautiful flickering shadows on the walls and ceiling. Neither spoke for several minutes, but were engrossed in the fantastic figures made by the tongues of flame as now and then they leaped up, only to vanish again. I must thank you kindly for the gracious hospitality tendered me by your club, while I am in your city, said the Man. ' ' Please do not mention it. ' Birds of a feather, ' — you know. We are both interested in steel. But let us make the best of the passing time. Pardon my forgetfulness, but you are leaving — V At eight o ' clock. We haven ' t long, said the Man. They both lapsed into a reverie, gazing into the fire. Finally, the Cynic broke the silence. This is a world of misdemeanor, penitence and forgiveness, is it not? he asked. ' ' Ah ! Perhaps you are thinking of the Governor ' s pardon to James Kuskin, the forger. Exactly. I do not approve of giving pardons as Christmas gifts to world- renowned law-breakers, said the Cynic. Perhaps it is for the best. He might ' go straight ' as they say. Bah! He might discover a fifth dimension, but — ah, quite improbable, you know. Pardon my frankness, my gracious host, but you are a bit, ah — cynical, are you not? Will you try one? the man asked, extending a case of cigars. Thank you. No, I believe a man cannot be changed morally after his twentieth year. I base my statements upon statistics. In their parlance, ' Once a crook, always a crook ' . Then perhaps you would care to listen to an interesting little story, at least it seems so to me, said the Man. ' ' Certainly, if you please. ' ' The Man lighted his cigar, expelled the smoke, and began: It was fifteen years ago. I was acquainted with a young man, very well acquainted, in fact, with this man who had nothing in the world to worry about. His father had died, leaving him a small fortune in some mining stock in Chile. He ' lived high ' until one day there came a sharp decline and the bottom dropped out of his stock. He was left penniless and without vocational training of any kind. He sought work but in vain. His reputation had been that of a spendthrift, an idler, and so he tried the more questionable means. Newspapers of his town, for the next few months carried accounts of small burglaries and thefts, person or persons implicated unknown. There came a larger attempt. This boy next tried to rob the offices of a large steel foundry in a town of about sixty thousand. Would that God might have put this incident in his path sooner. He gained entrance to the building and knelt in front of the safe. After repeated attempts at the dial failed to open the heavj r door, he became less cautious. One can imagine his surprise and dismaj ' , when, upon seeing the lights turned on, he wheeled about and found the night-watchman staring mildly at him. ' I imagine that is nerve racking work, ' said the watchman. The boy was speechless with fright. Here the Man leaned forward and flicked the ashes in the glowing embers of the fire. Had he chanced to glance at the Cynic he would have seen him lean forward with an expression of incredulity on his face. ' ' The boy seemed to realize his position and sat down limply in a chair. ' ' ' My God! why am I doing this? ' he cried. ' Yes, why are you doing this? ' the watchman said quietly. He crossed to the chair and placed his hand on the boy ' s back. ' This is an embarrassing position, ' he continued, ' but you are young; you have the world before you, and forty years possibly in which to atone and counteract. My boy, it does not pay. ' ' ' There followed a silence, as still as death, in which the office clock could be heard as though it were measuring off the centuries of eternity. Then the watchman fumbled in his pocket, brought forth a crumpled bill and extended it to the boy. He looked up in surprise. ' Take it, son, ' said the watchman, ' and go East or West for a fresh start. ' ' Why— I— y-you— I couldn ' t take it. ' ' Consider it as a trade, then. I ' ll give you ten dollars for your lantern. ' The boy arose unsteadily and extended his hand. The watchman grasped it and removed his hat. Here the Man glanced at his watch, then continued, Together they passed out the door into the dark street. The Man arose and crossed to his hat and coat, It is getting late. My train leaves shortly but I will finish hurriedly. The last thing the watchman said was, ' Try it all over again, my boy. Life is beautiful if it is seen from the right side, and remember, a good name is the most valuable asset a man may have. ' The boy promised the watchman he would try to succeed and he has. There, my friend, are you convinced? I am. And I see you have become a success. The Cynic rose while the Man whirled around, facing him, and continued, I was the night watchman that night. opp accipencs I Keith Brackemyre, ' 23. SAW a cow slip through the fence A horse fly in the store; I saw a board walk up the street, A stone step by the door.

His mother was a little woman with a disposition of captivating exactness. Yes, her son w r as just like her. Son was well liked by his grandparents, and uncle and aunts, and could have had as many homes as he desired. First of all there was the home of his mother and father. Then that of his grandmother Perkins ' home and his grand- mother Hollister ' s home. But the first and second were the ones he liked best. Mother, auntie and all the grandparents thought Son as nearly perfect as a child could be. Only his father was not satisfied with the perfection, and at times would grumble thus : I tell you Betsy, he ' s too good to be true. You take a thing from him — does he howl ? No. ' It isn ' t natural. Now I ask you, what kind of a man is he going to make, if he fails to develop some spunk? Wait, was always Betsy ' s answer. You forget because he is so big that he is only a four-year-old. ' ' Yes, but a four-year-old who wears a six-year-old suit isn ' t a baby, retorted father. Son wasn ' t like the other boys of the neighborhood. For whenever other boys plucked a flower Son would do his best at repairing their damage by replanting it. Son ' s father was a college man even if at times he alluded to his son as a mush head. When Son ' s Aunt Margaret wrote letters sending him kisses of crosses, he would count them carefully and slip them into his pocket and keep them until a time came to redeem them. You can ' t beat him at a love game, his father exploded contemptuously one Sunday morning after he had come upon Son searching the hamper of soiled clothes for the discarded suit of the day before. My Aunt Marg ' s tisses, Son explained as he fished the kisses out and put them in the pocket of the white linen suit he had on. Mush-head, commented his father. His Auntie Marg was coming that day and Son was going out to watch for her. So he went forth — wide blue contented eyes beneath a crop of curly yellow hair. When he reached the street he came upon six-year-old Ted Jones, the bully of the block. Ted ' s mother had just been disciplining him by making him button his little sister ' s shoes, and help his little brother into his clothes. By way of revenge, Ted was kicking the tree in front of Son ' s house with all his might and main, there being in sight no living thing with which he could pick a fight. Hello, Ted, Son said in his genial manner. Ted gave the tree an even more vicious kick. Ted looked at Son ' s satiny legs as if he were wishing that they stood where the tree did. You waitin ' to see Auntie Marg come? beamed Son. Shut up, came from the other. ' ' My Auntie is coming. ' ' He smiled unconcernedly and was turning away when fate took a hand. Inside Son ' s pocket his hand was closed over those kisses. He brought them forth and displayed them proudly. See my Auntie Marg ' s tisses, Ted? See, one, two, three, four, five. Ted spat contemptuously on the ground. Who cares for your Aunt Marg? he growled. Then with a quick ugliness he snatched the paper from Son ' s hand and tore it into bits and scattered it to the winds. After which he looked at Son with the expression Well, what are you going to do about it? At first Son ' s lip quivered, then something inside him began to boil. Next his hands were clenched and he shot forward like a shot. It was a whirlwind fight while it lasted. The two figures seemed as one. Now they were down, rolling, striking. From a window two people were watching. They had seen the start. As they watched Betsy rung her hands and wept, while her husband held her with a merciless grip from interference. Let him finish, let him finish. He ' ll be killed, sobbed Betsy. Oh, let me go. Ted ' s going home, said father. Son brushed a hand across his eyes. There was a scratch across his cheek and a growing bump on his forehead, and his white linen suit was dirty. But Son wasn ' t thinking of himself. With careful diligence he was gathering up the scraps of the precious paper. Then he made for the house and came in. He tore up my Auntie Marg ' s tisses. That ' s why I fought him. Son ' s father coughed as he realized that Son knew that he had done some- thing wrong. It was up to him to give the child a lecture. But how could he when he was filled with the keenest satisfaction? Then noticing that Son and mother were rushing into each other ' s arms, he quietly left the room. Outside the door he said to himself, He ' s my son, all right, but who would have thought that of him. Then he laughed and taking his hat slipped outdoors. If? Oie GLOflOOWG T Alice Cobb HE afternoon light is fast fading As the sun Anxious to reach his destination beyond The horizon Hastens with increased speed Westward. The western sky is ablaze with glory, And the waning light of the sun gradually Blends with the marvelous rainbow Of the sunset and is at last lost In the glorified heavens, And it is dusk. A soft brooding peace falls over the world, And silence, like a winged messenger from the sky Steals over the earth. It envelopes the most remote corners, And all is still Save for the gentle cooing of the turtle-dove, The subdued sounds of crickets, And a few last sleepy chirps of birds hardly awake. A gray cloud gently enfolds The silent world, For a few moments it remains Then comes the night like a peaceful Angel of Rest And the moon like a guardian angel. The little stars twinkle cheerfully And rival the village lights In brightness. Then the lights disappear But the stars remain And the moon sheds her benign brilliance Over all. And the world sleeps. COHflC DO COe SPCflK ? W HAT do we speak as the days roll by, To sing and smile or to pout and cry? Do we do our share in a great big way Do we work or wait, do we hope and pray? For the days speed by on rapid wing What do we speak, what do we sing? What shall we dream as the days roll on, The dreams that count and are fresh and high? The dreams that shall live in a lovely creed The dreams that shall end in a noble deed? For dreams live on till they mount the sky. What shall we dream as the days go by? What will we speak as the days go by? The words of truth, or the words that lie? The words that sting and that carry tears, Or the word that comforts, the word that cheers? For words are things that cannot die. What shall we speak as the days go by? SSj tVM - cm chpjsc of cHWsrrofls George Wilson, ' 23. IN a small, tumbled down house on a narrow, dirty street in Petrograd lived an old cobbler. He was so old that even grandmothers called him uncle. He was at peace with the world now, for he had come to regard his fellow men as little children, who make little, playful mistakes, but who are usually good at heart. He was bent over his last pair of shoes that night, for it was Christmas Eve, and he had some work to do before he went to his little bed to sleep. Upon finishing his work, he arose and crossed over to the fireside. There he sat and read the only text-book he had, the Bible. He read of the birth of Christ, and of all the humility which accompanied Him into the world. As he read on, he became more reconciled to his own condition in life. He began, to realize that humbleness is a real blessing and not a curse; that meek- ness is not to be scoffed at, nor lowliness to be spurned. When he stopped reading, he sat in his chair a long time dreaming. It was Christmas day, a typical Christmas — everything was covered with snow and it was bitter cold. As he climbed out of bed, he heard the chimes of the cathedral ringing. They seemed to say, ' ' Christ has come ! Christ has come ! ' ' As he heard them he thought, ' ' How wonderful it would be if Christ would come, if He would come to my house. Just then a knock came at his door. He immediately left off preparing his breakfast and opened the door. There before him stood a dirty, hungry boy. Mister, may I come in and get warm, I ' m so cold? The heartstrings of the old cobbler were touched, and he ushered the boy into the room with, Of course you can. Of course you can. He took him in, warmed and fed him, and then set him down to talk. You, see, Sir, the boy said, I haven ' t any home, or father or mother. I am the only one left of our family. The rest were all killed by the Anarchists. Presently the boy made preparations fo leaving. The old man, perceiving this, said, Won ' t you stay with me over the Christmas day, my son, and we will be happy and worship together? One look out through the flying snow decided the boy. I ' 11 stay, but I can never thank you for all that you have done for me. ' ' A little before noon another knock came at the door. When the door was opened a poor, ragged mother carrying an infant was standing on the threshold. Have you anything I can eat? she asked, I have not eaten for so long that I cannot remember the last meal. As the old cobbler sat and watched the woman and boy eat, he could not help but feel compassion toward them. He thought of his own boy, now buried in the graveyard close by the great cathedral. He thought of his mother, his father, and his dear, loving wife — they were all side by side now, and he would soon join them. When he saw how much he could do for a few of these wandering peasants his heart was sore because he could not do more. He could not understand how any good God could look down unmoved and see His children suffer and die, innocently. When the meal was over the mother rose to go. No, no, Dear Lady, I want you to stay and enjoy the warmth and Christ- mas spirit with the boy and me. All afternoon they talked and read. The woman, he found, was well edu- cated, despite her poor and impoverished condition. The story she told was pitiful in the extreme. She had been the wife of a rich merchant, and the mother of a healthy, happy family. When the war came, her husband sold the business and left her the money. He went to war and was killed. Then, when the Radicals came into power, they seized all her possessions, gave her to an officer in the Bolshevik army, took her daughters to the auction block, and killed her sons, who had resisted them. She had escaped her martial husband, and had been wandering in the streets of the city for days with her little babe in her arms. As she finished her story, the old cobbler got up from his chair and went over to the fire to replenish it. He remembered that he had fixed the fire before she had commenced her story, but he had to do something to hid his emotions. He could hardly believe that he had been living in peace and comparative pros- perity, while all around him was suffering and the commission of horrible crimes. Now as he looked upon this poor, outcast mother and this poor, destitute orphan, he thought again of all the unnecessary misery which men and women, seemingly, have to suffer. I am an old man, a very old man, yet I can make enough to keep us all, if you will stay here with me. ' ' The mother looked at him dumbfounded. She could not believe her ears. She could not believe that so much good could exist in the world, and where it could be expected least — in the heart of a great city, which was the headquarters of the most brutual organization that man could devise. Well — she stopped, for her heart was too full for speech. I have looked long for a place to stay. Oh, that ' s all right, we can get along nicely, he said, I have long needed a housekeeper, and I really need a boy to run errands for me. That night, after he had found room for all of them, he pulled his chair up before the fire. As he was sitting drowsily thinking of the day ' s adventure, a man stepped before him. He looked at him wonderingly. The door was closed and barred. How could anyone have gotten in without being heard? Then the man spoke. His countenance was all aflame. ' ' I know all you have done today. I heard you wish that Christ would come into your home. Three times today He has come: first, when you took in the hungering, shivering boy; second, when you fed and warmed the mother and her child ; third when you asked them to remain with you and live. Good, as well as evil has its reward. You have won yours. I have come from my Father to bring you a message of love, for He has also seen the good works that you have done, and He bids me tell you that God is always with His children, and in an hour of trial you should not doubt, for He has placed such good people in the world as you, to do His good work for Him. As the Vision vanished the old cobbler awoke. He rose and went to the window — the dawn of Christmas Day was breaking. My, my, I must have slept the whole night through. I A aw Norma Barkman, ' 23.

Without it you ' re sad and growly, But with it you ' re glad and jolly; And though ' tis more precious than gold It can neither be bought or sold. It lights up the homliest face With a joy that is hard to believe It lends you both beauty and grace, And helps you forget to grieve. Haven ' t you guessed it yet This riddle?

What ever work comes to your hand, At home or at your school ; Do your best with right good will, It is a golden rule. For he who always does his best, Will ever better grow; But he who shirks or slights his task, Lets all the better go. What if your lessons should be hard? You need not yield to sorrow ; For he who bravely works to-day, More brightly greets each ' morrow. I coy Kiccen Lois Ashley, 7A. HAVE a lovely maltese eat, Katsumi is her name.

The summons strong we hear, Reluctant we arise, Responding to the oft heard call, Go where your labor lies. Rest Thou! The Father ' s voice is kind, When dusk falls all around, In sleep forget thy toils and cares, In slumber, sweet, profound. Come Home! The thread of life is snapped, The Eve of life has come, Freed from all the cares of life, Our Father takes us home.

Fifty years ago, in the east part of the city, stood a small, two-story frame structure. It was the first school building in Seymour. Only the oldest residents can remember the time when as happy children, they went to school here. Established when Seymour was quite young, it naturally had a small enrollment. Later when Seymour began to increase in population the old building was vacated and a larger one built on the site of the present building. It was of red brick, and was set in the midst of grounds, occupying the whole of a city block. Immediately in front of the building was a large space paved with brick, from which led the walk to the street. The grounds were surrounded by an old fashioned board fence, within the confines of which, filling all of the space not occupied by the building, were immense trees. Here, in the delightful shade of these beautiful beeches the children played. Later, as the school outgrew that building, an addition was made on the south side. This building most of our present residents remember. In 1910 it was condemned as unsafe and razed for the erection of a com- pletely equipped modern brick building. The greater portion of the trees sur- rounding the building was cut down, and the rear part of the lot converted into a playground. The front part of the lot was made into an attractive lawn, one of the most beautiful in Indiana. Until February of 1923, the High School and grades were in the same building; but the enrollment in the High School has increased so steadily that changes were inevitable. Accordingly, plans were drawn up for a modern addi- tion, in which there would be a large auditorium suitable for public meetings, for basketball, and other gymnastics, as well as class rooms for the accommoda- tion of the grades. This building was completed in 1923. Now the High School occupys the whole of the older building, while the grades are housed in the new wing. From a study of the evolution of our present school building a very good idea can be gained of the marvelous growth that the schools of the city of Sey- mour have enjoyed. To-day, the High School is a complete and thoroughly organized institution, which has a reputation for turning out well-educated, pro- gressive students, the greater majority of whom have made a success in busi- ness, social and civic life, and have revealed the value to Seymour of her fine School System.

Since the foundation of the school there have been probably thirty-five hundred pupils who have shared in its work and received a preparation, more or less extended, for the duties of life. When we consider the work of the school and the good it has done, we must take into consideration all who have been enrolled, and not only those who have finished the entire course of study offered by the school. The Alumni of the school now numbers nine hundred and fifty-sis, most of whom have filled and are filling honorable places in life. A glance over the roll of graduates and into the lives of the men and women whose names we find there, will convince any one that a High School education does not unfit boys and girls for the practical duties of life. The work of any school or institution of learning is best evidenced by the lives of the men and women that it sends forth into the world.

Contests in debating, discussion, oratory, and interpretative reading mark the programs of many high schools and colleges ; and courses in public speak- ing, as a distinctive branch of the English work, are being established in increas- ing numbers. The human voice, as the expression of personality as well as thought, is still and will always be a vital force in the affairs of men and women. In our own school there has been during the last few years an increasing amount of time spent on oral expression. Again this year we took part in the discussion of the question selected by the State High School Discussion League ' ' ; and Osborne Fisehbach as our county winner represented us in a most creditable way at the District Contest at North Ternon. The choice of Osborne as our district representative was preceded by a thorough study of and many local discussions of the question selected ; na mely, A solution for industrial disputes in public and quasi-public industries. The results of this study have been undoubtedly beneficial and a prepara- tion for better work next year. In the realm of the inter-school debate, we are about to make our initial venture ; and as this book goes to press, we are looking forward to our joint debate with Bedford. The subject selected grew out of the High School Dis- cussion ' ' and the debaters will argue the question, ' ' Eesolved, That all Disputes in Public and Quasi-public Industries shall be settled by Compulsory Arbitra- tion. The affirmative speakers: Franklin Swain, captain, Florence Blain and Dorothy Story will debate at home against the negative Bedford team; our negative debaters; Osborn Fisehbach. captain, Norma Barkman and George Wilson will go to Bedford. Arrangements are being made for a much fuller debating schedule for next year. Another outgrowth of this revived interest in oral expression is a movement that promises much of value and enjoyment for the people of Seymour. Under the auspices of the Seymour Community Service there has been organized the Seymour Community Players, a group of people interested in the recreational activities of our city, who. realizing the unlimited sources of delight in the drama are hoping to interest increasing numbers in its enjoyment. For The drama embraces and applies all the beauties and decorations of poetry. The sister arts attend and adorn it. Painting, architecture, and music are her handmaids. The costliest lights of a people ' s intellect burn at her shrine. All ages welcome her. fHufitr HI? utnnj (Ennteat The entire music department took an interest in the Music Memory Contest as was proven by the results. After weeks of listening and other preparation the city contest took place. Prizes were given by many people and business houses, the prizes being money, records, or music lessons. In the city contest there were twelve perfect papers in the grades and eleven in the High School. There v. ere many excellent papers, but only the perfect ones received prizes. There were county, district and state contests. Miss Alice Eecker, a Sophomore, was the only one from Shields who went to the state contest. There she made a perfect paper, and only after a prolonged overtime examina- tion was she eliminated. (Eeriamrn Sjatmum For several years it has been the custom of many districts in the state, to make an annual Latin contest one of the activities of the school year. The movement has been sponsored and encouraged by the State Latin Teachers ' Association. It is felt that these contests have done much to promote a fine spirit of scholarship, and to stimulate as loyal a school spirit in the matter of scholarly attainments as has always been manifested in athletics. When the news came to us that the Fourth District was to undertake a contest of this sort for the first time, great interest and enthusiasm was manifested among the Latin students of our school. The local Certamen Latinum held on March the 18th, to determine the representatives for the county contest, proved lively and interesting. About thirty-five students entered the strenuous preliminaries. The following received the highest local honors, and represented S. H. S. at Brownstown on March the 26th. First Year Latin — Mildred Peacock, Beryl Dannettelle. Caesar — Alice Cobb, Gordon Miller. Cicero — Raymond Feaster, Mary Fettig. Virgil — Beryl Shields, Lydia Kruge. Results of the county contest showed that honor medals were awarded to five of our contestants. Virgil — First award, Beryl Shields ; second award, Lydia Kruge. Cicero — First award, Raymond Feaster; second award, Mary Fettig. Caesar — First award, Gordon Miller. These five winners were sent to Columbus on April the 21st for the District Meet. Beryl Shields brought S. H. S. honor by winning first place in Virgil, Lydia Kruge, second. Ray- mond Feaster won second in Cicero and Gordon Miller second in Caesar, both the latter losing to first place by a difference of but one per cent. Seymour Schola Semper Summa ! Honorissima ! Seymour Schola est dura ! O hurrah, O hurrah, O hurrah ! Throughout the contests a fine spirit of good sportmanship has been shown by both winners and losers. We hope that the Centamen may become an annual event in our school, and that plans which are being made for a state-wide meet, can be carried out next year. Agriculture Winners i ■m- mm Latin Contestants g nme ArJjieu? mettta in tlj? Srpartment nf Baratumal Agrirultur? Carl Fill, Everett Otte and William Schluesemeier won signal honors for themselves and their school when, as a team, in the state corn judging contest they were awarded first place and a large cup (trophy). They also won another cup as champions in the livestock judging contest on the work with sheep. In individual competition Carl Pill won a gold medal for the best corn judge in the state, and a ribbon for third place in the livestock judging work on sheep. Everett Otte won a ribbon for second honors in the livestock judging work on dairy cattle. William Schluesemeier won the trip to the International Livestock Show at Chicago as a result of his successful poultry club work ; and also a trip to the Club Round Up at Purdue by the First National Bank of Seymour for his corn club work. Everett Otte won second, a trip by the same bank and Clyde May stood third. Wilfred Nichter won sweepstakes honors in the annual egg show held by the agricultural classes. Carl Fill won second honors. These honors conferred upon the students of the agriculture classes are most gratifying and are a testimony to the high grade of work done by these students under the direction of their instructor, Mr. H. C. Henderson. ATHLETIC OPtffiDlZaClOD Athletic activities were resumed in the fall with the organization of the Athletic Association. The following officers were elected : President Franklin Swain Vice-President Jarvis Hyatt Secretary Elizabeth James Treasurer Arthur Becker The Athletic Council as chosen was: Miss Kate Andrews, chairman; Franklin Swain, Jarvis Hyatt, Elizabeth James, Arthur Becker, H. C. Hender- son, and J. R. Mitchell. The students responded nobly to the call for members. To insure the publicity of the athletic activities of the school a publicity committee was elected. Gladys Hopple, Thelma Bell, and Miss Eva Sinclair were elected to this committee, and were responsible for much lively advertising. Coach Mitchell ' s call for basketball candidates was answered by fifty-two enthusiastic boys. With Keach, Hyatt, Honan, Adams, Misamore, and McCord left from last year and Hooker, who moved here from Scottsburg, a fast team was whipped into shape with the assistance of an excellent second team to practice against. The Lutheran Club Gymnasium was used prior to the com- pletion of the new High School Gymnasium. Seymour was fortunate in being selected as one of the district basketball centers. The District Basketball Tournament was held in the new gymnasium, March 2 and 3, and proved to be a great success. In order to use the new gymnasium work was rushed to completion and was finished the morning of the tourney. lDcerveLfiss BasKeu ball The inter-class basket ball tourney was postponed this year until the last of the season when the new gymnasium would be available. As usual, the Seniors romped off with the inter-class championship title, snowing the Fresh- men under in a hard-fought contest. Freshmen 17 — Juniors 14 Seniors 64 • — Sophomores 4 Juniors 31 — Sophomores 11 Seniors 38 — Freshmen 5 In an unofficial tourney between the second teams of each class, the Junior seconds took the title. The Senior team was practically the same as the Varsity with Misamore, forward; McCord, forward; Keach, center; Hyatt center; and Honan, Adams and Hooker, guards. The best game was between the Juniors and the Freshmen, the latter winning by a narrow margin. The Seniors succeeded in scoring 102, as against their opponent ' s 9. iDcePrGLass Base ball An inter-class baseball tourney was held at the beginning of the season in order to give Coach Henderson a line on the available material for a winning team. The inter-class games were run off the first of April at the Seymour Athletic Park. Juniors 3 — Freshmen 2 Seniors 7 — Sophomores 5 Seniors 5 — Juniors 3 The Seniors captured the inter-class title by defeating the Juniors in the final game.

With Baldwin, MeClintick, Nichalson, J. Hyatt. Eckstein. Becker, Adams, and Johnson as hold-overs from last year, indications pointed to a very successful season. A wealth of material was found in Eckstein, Beem and Young to fill ihe mound position, left vacant by the ineligibility of Wilson, star south-paw of the last two years. Baldwin was elected to serve his third succes- sive year as captain. The season was opened with a victory over the Brownstown Bear Cats in a game played at Brownstown. The score was 6 to 0. The Athletic Association purchased new uniforms for the team at the begin- ning of the season. Baldwin, c Becker, ss McClintock, 3b Nicholson, If Hyatt, 2b Malick, cf Russell, lb Glasson, rf Young, p and lb Eckstein, p Beem, p. Johnson, c McClintick, Hyatt, Russell, Baldwin and Becker will be lost by graduation. C6DD1S Tennis was made a part of the fall athletic program for the second time. A series of inter-class matches were arranged between the Freshmen, Sopho- mores, Juniors and Seniors. The Lutheran club court was used throughout the tourney. Walter Hyatt and Charles Keach won for the Seniors the championship in doubles by right of their victory over the Junior representatives. There were no matches arranged with other schools this year, but it is hoped by the student body that tennis will be featured among fall athletics, and a series of matches with other schools may be arranged to further that end. chach - ' ' -- ' -- s s i i 9 r ; : - li --- r.- A:jLtTi: ?e: = — • - -- ' - z . ■■ -- - _-._ .7-.- --. saiiF Lm --: -■; - . 9 — n - - - - - ' - L5 .- - ApnllS i i I ; .. — - i ' r- h L=z -iers- — s fp - — — - - -i— ; — - j. s. y I i i :y A-ileti- dde- Mr. Ackerman — Why are women like salad?

FLIVVERS Yea, verily, I say unto thee, the Ford belongs to that class of vehicles which doth not fly; nor doth it creep, but like the unceasing thunder, doth rumble on and on forever. Dost thou ask where with I am supplied with the necessary knowled ge and right to broadcast same? Yea, brother, I say unto thee I own one. It ' s steering wheel toucheth my heart or doth prod gently in the vicinity thereof. The accessory dealer doth touch my pocketbook with his line of chatter and flim-flam accessories. Cold weather doth give a remarkable degree of stubborness to the worthy self-starter (in name only) and when its battery doth run down from any of several causes, its starting crank doth provide a gentle and delightful exercise until it doth kick back mightily, which causeth its owner to register deep chagrin and murmur, Darn it ! with all the gentle timidity of a man shouting Fire ! When finally the sleeping engine doth begin its day again, a safe-cracking job cannot be heard in a radius of three blocks. At night it travelleth by the light of the moon only, for its head-light doth flicker and vanish as doth the mouse on seeing the kitty or as doth the pocketbook on the approach of friend wife. ft doth rattle and knock, like unto a harvester; it doth moan and howl like unto a gafilta fish, which doth continually grow worse until it wheezeth its last cough. Trouble, like a Seven Headed Chinese Devil, never sleepeth, but doth forever percolate around His Lordship, the Ford owner. Yea, verily, I say unto you, tires are an evil influence to mankind, for they do assume the appearance of a good tire in the garage, but do cast off this deceptive raiment with a bang when thou art miles from home. However, brethern, as the prophets hath said, even a snake hath good points, even tho it be to eat other snakes. So I liken unto this, the Ford, for when it is stuck in sand or mud, the owner need but get out and lift the back end over on high ground and pro- ceed forth. The Ford hath all the speed of a slumbering turtle. Allow me, my brethern, to quote from my friend Bill Shakespeare : The Ford, it is a wonder, You give it gas, and say, You pass by all the other cars (That go the other way.) Henry Ford hath said, Buy a Ford and spend the difference. Brethren, I ask you, spend it on what? Repairs? Still, my brethren, the car doth seem to be vastly popular. People ordereth far in advance and accepeth their delivery with all the languid indifference of a starving tiger that pouncth upon it ' s first meal in a fortnight. So, therefore, brethern, harken ye unto my words, all that is gold need not necessarily glitter, and though a man may wear out many Fords, like a tenacious cat. he always cometh back and buyeth another.

Some base Knave, Perhaps it was the goof I threw thee at In the first place. Extract from a Freshman story — And many saw the invisible horde approaching. Teacher (to boy with his feet in the aisle and chewing gum) — Here boy, take that gum out of your mouth and put your feet in. A FRESHMAN ' S IDEA OF A JOKE A fly was sitting on Mr. Ackerman ' s head.

Miss McHenry — Give the principal parts of the verb begin. Alfred B. — Begin, began, begone, git out. A PICTURE One day as I was sleeping A picture came to me, It was the funniest picture That ever you did see. Miss Hanna came in dancing, And playing a cornet, Mr. Due came in smoking A great long pipe of jet, Then came Miss Myers a-whistling A tune, I ' m Loved No More, While Miss Andrews washed the windows, And Glaze, he swept the floor; Mr. Phillips taught us cooking Miss McHenry how to draw; Mr. Mitchell he played hookey, But in each we found a flaw. Dick Hyatt (after solo) — I believe my voice is cracked. J. Honan— Your voice is cracked all right, but your head will be worse than that if you don ' t retire into utter seclusion.

AS THE DAYS GO BY Specimus Wells was an expert on soil, Who spent flocks of money prospecting for oil. While farmer Joe Bush was a terrible hick, Who sat on a fence-rail and whittled a stick.

Will — The undertaker. THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH Under the shade of building tall The modern mechanic stands, The sweat he wipes with a kerchief all Of yellow silk and tan ; The muscles of his arms so small Are white as ivory bands. His hair is light and neatly cut, His face is very fair; His brow was never touched by soot, His pri. e is very rare. He raises autos from the rut And charges with a care. Week in week out, from nine to six You can hire him if you pay. You will not hear him strike the licks With a sledge — the smithy ' s lay. If he must work nine hours he kicks For eight hours is his day. And boys returning home from school Step in at the open door, They like to watch him with a tool And hear the autos roar. He starts the engines like a fool And makes them snort and snore. He goes on Sunday to the church And sits among the girls, He only sees the preacher ' s shirt And pulls his daughter ' s curls. He often gets so drunk he ' ll lurch And break his sweetheart ' s pearls. Thus onward through this life he goes He does whoe ' er he can. This tale a moral has he knows It makes him a proud man, For it is this : Your auto woes Take to the garage man. Miss Andrews — Use your heads, boys, don ' t throw balls near the building. A course of elective music was offered. 8A Boy — Miss Barbour, may I take electric music? Mr. Glaze — I don ' t want anyone to leave his seat without coming to the desk and getting permission. A PARABLE OF SAFED THE SAGE. C. M. FlSCHBACH, ' 23. Lo, and it came to pass in the days of high gas and electric bills, that Keturah, my wife, approached unto me, and spake thus, saying, Sirrah, Christmas draweth nigh, and I must, in accordance with custom, hie me to the town to purchase presents. And she strove therewith to make a touch. I spake, raising a feeble voice in protest, but she put her arms about me and cooed soft words into my ears ; whereupon my heart and likewise my head grew soft, and I gave unto her silver shekels, many and bright, which I, 06 a truth, had determined to set aside for a new suit, my present one being already thread-bare and worn. So she went. For many hours she tarried, while I, perforce, must get my own meals. At eve she returneth again and showeth me many purchases, both wise and foolish. And she took out of a gorgeous box a hat, which of a truth, would have made a devout man of the synagogue look twice. Then spake she and said, I shall give this unlo your aunt. And I, being very much amazed, for my aunt is a most staid and sober woman re- proached her saying, Never think that my aunt would ever wear such a head-gear. For her years are the number sixty, and a hat for her should be of sober black. And she, being amused, answered me saying, Lo, if she can wear it not, then per- chance she may give it to me, for it suits me well. Which of a truth it did, but wherefore is there any use to try to reason with a woman anyway. And next she drew forth a necktie both loud and of many colors, and entirely unsuited to a guardian of the flock. The seven colors of the rainbow and many more besides were contained therein, and it spake with a loud voice. And she draped it about my neck and stood off a little ways to get the effect. And she clapped her hands in glee, saying, Lo, my Lord, you look as young as when you first paid court to me, and she kissed me. And I, being flattered exceedingly put aside my misgivings as regarding the wearing of the tie and returned the courtesy. And I said to myself, A wife is a pleasant if at times grasping necessity whom it is impossible to repress with sternness since she in all cases holds an insurmountable and unconquerable power over her man. And I, composing my dignity thereupon became once more a zealous guardian of the flock. If there were a boy in High School Of fair Toots Hyatt ' s size, Who had Charles Reach ' s line of talk, And Johnny Hauenschild ' s eyes, If he dressed like Landis Cooper, And had Frank Swain ' s nerve to try, Should he borrow Hal Ahlbrand ' s auto Do you think that he ' d get by? Bess McGannon — I have a cold in my head. The Teachers — No wonder, a cold always settles in the weakest spot. Miss Barbour — I wish those cars would quit passing here with their mufflers open. They make so much noise. Miss Vehslage — Maurice, have you brought that picture of a steamboat on White River yet? Maurice Haper — No, mam, I haven ' t taken it yet. Mr. Due — Lloyd, who is Mr. Green? Lloyd Bulger — Why, I think he ' s the man who makes sausages in Cinn. Miss McHenry (telling the pupils to pick up the paper on the floor) — Sam, be sure and pick up your part of the floor. M. J. (looking out the window) — I wonder why the trees are so late leaving. Miss Small — Albert, locate Europe and Asia. Albert Judd — Well, Europe is west of Asia and Asia is east of Europe. Mr. Mitchell — Kerval, tell these boys another laying out tool. Kerval Goodwin — A billy-club. Miss Geile — Did any one help you with this map, Sam? Sam — No, my brother did it by himself. Lois Hall — Do you know Lincoln ' s Gettysburg address ? Swain — No, did he live there? Miss Small — Earl can you tell us what hemp is used for? Earl T— For cigars and things. JUST LIKE THE REST OF US Little Tommy had a lesson Which he couldn ' t get, And as far as I can see, He hasn ' t got it yet. Teacher — Why are you late, Johnny? Johnny — I started late. Teacher — Why didn ' t you start early? Johnny— It was too late to start early. Miss Myers (explaining the Latin Slides) — These are the horses of the infantry. Glen U. — What made that bump on your head? Ray B. — That ' s where a thought struck me. £ a • •GS if; are MEMORIES Wori1v NOT TODAY, but twenty years from today, will you realize the value of this — your school an- nual.
