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

« THE T I PTO N I A N 27 Field Day THE COUNTY FIELD MEET. Field Day for the Tipton County High Schools was on Friday, April 24th. In the morning, the Tipton High Schol played two games of base ball — one with Goldsmith and one with Windfall. In the game with Gold- smith, the Tipton boys could not get togeth- er and Goldsmith won the game by a score of 9 to 7. The first game just warmed the Tipton boys up and put them in excellent condition for the second game. Hall did excellent pitching for both games, but he didn ' t have much support except in left field where Pyke caught some fine flies. Howev er, Tipton defeated Windfall, the score be- ing 7 to 6. In the field meet in the afternoon, Kemp- ton started in by winning the 50 and 100-yd. dashes, and it was clearly seen that Kemp- ton would win the field meet. Although Tip- ton did not win first in the meet, the boys have made a wonderful progress in athletics this year. Coughlin and Keever were tied for first place in the pole vault. Coughlin is indeed a good pole vaulter and will win first for Tipton next year. Foster won first in the high jump. The jump was 5 feet, 2 inches and Foster went over it with ease and in fine form. The other first that Tipton took was won by Othello Powell in the mile run. Powell ran the mile in 5 minutes, 4 seconds, which is a very good record. Brown won second in the 220-yd. dash, and Alpha Gray won third in the half-mile run. The field meet will be held in Tipton next year, so here ' s to you, members of the track team: Com- mence to practice early and then practice hard. The Class of ' 14 expresses its well wishes to the track team of 1915. THE COUNTY ORATORICAL CONTEST. On Friday night, May 24th, the third an- nual county oratorical was held in the Kemp M.

The final result gave first to Charles Tor- rence, of Kempton. The music of the evening was furnished by the members of the Tipton High School.
