THE TIPTONIAN 23 REUBEN SMITH. Rube Smith has been with us such a short time that we are not at liberty to say much concerning his high school work. He came in to our class about Christmas from the Junior class. He has completed the four required years in three school years. This alone gives the reader an idea what sort of a student Rube is. We are not proud of Rube because of his size, but he makes up lor this in his application, combined with his natural ability as a student. He enjoys the distinction of being the smallest boy in his class. Owing to his nature, the faculty found it expedient to give him a seat in the corner of the room all by himself. He has at no time bothered his neighbors, because of above stated reasons, and for the past few months, has been one of the quietest and most law abiding seniors. DALLAS WARNE. Dallas Warne was born November 13, IS1I4 in the city of Hobbs. He entered the Hobbs high school in the fall of 1909, at the age of fourteen. He finished the first two years there and then entered the Tipton high school. In 1911 as a Junior he took part in the senior play of Louis XI. He was also elected president of the high school Athletic Association for the year 1912-1913. While a senior in the T. H. S., he moved to Hartford City, but returned in March, 1914 and again entered the senior class. Daddy is a good fellow who causes little or no trouble.

22 THE Tl PTON IAN OTHELLO POWELL. Othello Powell, Toad, as his friends lovingly call him, first enteTed our high school in his Junior year, the first two years of his high school career having been spent at Hobbs. He immediately proved his worthiness to be our class mate by his ex- cellent work in all subjects. He has taken a vast interest in oratory and music, in both of which he is proficient. He has also fig- ured prominently as an athlete, being cap- tain of the basket ball team in 1912-1913. He has never been known to slight his work, except when certain Sophomore girls are near or when there is a wild west film at the five-cent shows. He was a member of the boys quartette and glee club in 1912- 13 and a member of the glee club in 1913-14. He took the part of the doctor in Mac- beth, was a cannibal in Singbad, and was Top-Not in Princess Chrysanthemum, thus showing that he possesses great adap- tability. EDNA SWARTZ. Edna Swartz entered the Tipton High School with the class of 1913, but possess- ing a roving spirit, she, at the beginning of her second year, left this class for the west. She spent the next one and one-half years in the western states, entering the Tipton High School with the class of 1914, upon her return. She will graduate with this class, although she finished her work at Christmas and has been at her home in Huntington, Indiana, since that time. She was prominent in all school affairs, being most prominent as a member of the Girls Glee Club and the star player of the first Girls ' Basket Ball Team.

24 THE TIPTONIAN INDIA MAE THOMAS. India Mae Thomas entered the T. H. S. with the remainder of the class of 1910. Of her Freshman and Sophomore years, we re- member very little. As a Junior, she came into prominence as a theme writer and de- bater. Her class mates recognized her lit- erary ability and chose her as the editor for the Tiptonian. This office she has held and it has been almost entirely due to her diligence and untiring work that our pa- per has attained the success which it has during the past year. India has also taken part in all the plays and operetta given by the high school. Her greatest success was scored in her presentation of Lady Macbeth. In the oratorical she was given first place by the judges of the primary and when she spoke at the county oratorical, the judges gave her the first place, but, alas, when the grades of the various manuscripts were averaged with the judges ' grades, she was given the second place. All through her H. S. career, she has had the reputation of at- tempting many things and always finishing them very creditably. She is also a pledged member. LUTHER A. RICHMAN. Luther A. Richman entered the high school with the rest of the class of 1914, When a Junior, he commenced to take ac- tive part in the music work of the high school. Since then, he has been a mem- ber of the T. H. S. Male Quartette and also of the Glee Club. In the comic opera, Singbad the Sailor, he played the part of Caliph of Bagdad. During the summer of 1913, he attended a Chicago conservatory, winning several honors there, and returning to the T. H. S. better fitted to assist in the music work. In Macbeth, Luther played Malcolm and in Princess Chrysanthemum, he was the Prince So True. He played two years on the foot ball team and probably will not forget this fact. In base ball, he played center field and was manager of the basket ball team for the past year. He has successfully managed the Tiptonian, the high school publication, Princess Chrysan- themum, and Macbeth. He intends to take up music as a profession.
