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.

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.

All seniors are looking forward to the Twentieth Alumni Banquet of the Tipton High School, which will be held in the K. of P. Hall, May 21st. We regret that we are not able to print the program, but of one thing we are sure — it is going to be the best ever held in Tipton and there will be twenty-nine new members of the Alumni Association present. Friday morning, May 8th, the day when tears were in the eyes of everyone because it was the Seniors ' last day, a farewell was given to them at Chapel. Mr. Lohcmuller first told them how much they liked them and how they would miss them and then Donald Pyke, on behalf of the Senior class, presented the school with a picture? contain- ing the likenesses of all 1914 graduates. This was reecived with great applause and hung in front for all to see. Then the members of the faculty extended their well wishes and advice to the class. There was much joking on the surface, but all knew the Seniors did regret their school days were over and they did appreciate that fare- well chapel. » The Senior class surprised their princi- pal, Prof. Lochmuller, Friday, May 8th, and took possession of his home for the evening. A round table talk was held and merriment reigned supreme. Refreshments were serv- ed and of one thing we are quite sure — Don- ald Pyke is the champion ice cream eater of the Senior class. Even Prof. Lochmuller didn ' t have a look-in. After the boys had either washed or broken most of the dishes, the Seniors left to serenade the other teach- ers. They enjoyed themselves so much at Prof. Lochmuller ' s, however, that they in- vited themselves back and voted their prin- cipal and his family royal entertainers. The Senior class was most royally en- tertained by the giant of their class, Jean Carter, Friday, April 10th, at his home on North Conde street. The house was beauti- fully decorated in the class colors and gay butterflies. Many contests were held and of course Ruth Shook and Donald Pyke had to win the prizes. Mr. Patterson, Mr. Hoff- mann, Mr. Horton, Mr. Lochmuller and Mr. and Mrs. Summers were also present. Mrs. W. H. Reavis assisted with the serving of the daintiest refreshments ever, far which the Seniors, as usual, showed a great liking. After expressing their appreciation of this
