WELCH who has done so much to make this High School a success, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen, respectfully dedicate our book. ' jMI SJECOCTpPc :1.0d. MR. NUNER This page is most respectfully set apart for Mr. .J. P. Nuner, Superintendent of the Misha- waka Public Schools. When we think of all that he has done for them, we come to the con- clusion that we have done right. Mishawaka has one of the finest schools in Indiana, for which we thank Jir. Nuner. We, the students of the High School, especially have reason to thank him; he is always ready to help us and to give us advice on troubling matters. When the School Board, nearly twelve years ago was looking for a guide and master of the City schools, they looked in the right direction when they found Mr. Nuner. ' ZMZ SKZOCTPPC d 9 Editorial AT IvAST our work is completed. Many times dur- ing the past few months when the bhie sky has been overcast and the path has been steep and difhcult, we have been ready to turn back. l)ut always some bit of encouragement has been given, to put new hfe into our endeavors and to enable us to continue to the finish. Ve put out the book this year that we might have a chronicle of the daily doings of good old M. II. S.. and if it accomplishes this purpose we feel that our efforts have been crowned with the greatest success ])ossible. This year has been a banner one in ]M. H. S. lany new projects have been tried, which have pi ' oven successful beyond our original hopes for them. To keep up with the progressive spirit of the school Me have tried to put out a better book than has been l)rought forth before. We hope that in the future each class will l)e able to put out a more perfect book. We have done our best. Now, we ask your lenient judgment of our efforts. im: sjecocTppc ' ±qil Miskodeed Staff D. J. GRAHA.AI. Editor-in-C ' liiof. D. J. has put his mind on most strenuous work during the past few weeks— also his feet. It is not an unusual sight to see his coat-tail disappear around some corner of the halls at any hour during the day ; nevertheless, you see the results of his labor. DEMA LEOPOLD, Assistant Editor-in-Chief. Dema has proved she has authority even over our Editor-in-Chief. On one occasion she wanted a staff ' meeting. D. J. No. Dema said Yes. Well— we had one. Aside from this, they have worked patiently and harmoniously together. LOGAN WOODWARD, Business Manager. When you saw D. J. racing ' round the halls you usually saw Logan with him. They were a great help to each othei-. JIYRTLE CLARK. Literary Editor. From the way Myrtle has skipped classes and disturlied the assemlily room getting- up her work, she should really turn out some very good results. But decide that for yourself. LUCILLE BURKIIART, Art Editor. Lucille may have been found at any period during school hours drawing patiently a baseball man, a Freshie boy or the like. EMJIIE SCHMIDT, Joke Editor. Emmie is small but the way she tiew around gathering up jokes — 0, my! DOROTHY MIX, Social Editor. Dorothy didn ' t tind it necessary to make the fuss about her Avork that some of her com- panions did, but see for yourself her results are without fault. JOSEPHINE AHARA. Dranmtic Editor. At each meeting Josephine dramatically informed the staff that it was impossible to Jo this — impossible to do that — and so on, but she was a wonderful help to our meetings. CHARLES GOETHALS. Advertising : Ianager. If you happened to pass the business district lately, you without doubt, have seen Charles appearing and disappearing in and out the i Iishawaka stores. LOIS GARVIN, Music Editor. So quietly has Lois gone about her work that it is impossible to say that she disturbed any one. HARDY STEBBINS, Athletic Editor. He didn ' t say much at our staff meetings, but we all knew that his material was in, for he didn ' t find it necessary to chase madly about the halls the last few days to get it ready for press. LILLIE Fl LLER, Alumni Editor. Lillie had no trouble with her work. Would that more could say the same ! GEORGE EBERHART, Calendar. He has proved that his intellect over-reaches his size. FREDA BASH, Senior Editor. Freda had her material ready for press long before the others had begun theirs. WILBUR GARTxNER, Sophomore Editor. We haven ' t seen much of Wilbur, but he can be depended on. LOWELL FRYE, Freshman Editor. He attended every staff meeting; his eyes were wide open; likewise his ears. He ' ll be a man worth knowing by the time he is a Senior. JMI SKIOCrpPc Q-L ZMZ SJECOCTPPC -±0 Miskodeed In tlie town of ]Misha vaka, on the old St. Joseph river, Lived a maiden, — such a maiden! With the black eyes of an angel, Black her eyes, and straight her hair was, And her form, ' twas most divine. Do you ask us what her name was? jNIiskodeed, of northern clime. jMiskodeed for sixteen summers Lived here then, but now a change. For sweet JNIiskodeed has ' anished And has left us but her name. JNIiskodeed, the first spring blossom, JNIiskodeed, (so means the name) Thou hast given us inspiration For in early Spring you came. N ffi J ' ±SJ odG Gd Q CULTY l SJKIOCrppc -±0 ' MR. IIORTON Mr. Horton, oiii- Prim-ipal, is a graduate of Indiana University. He has charge of the Mathe- matics and Public Speaking Departments. Every one woke up vs hen he took charge of the school, and especially in athli ' tics has his energy ap- peared. His interest and entiuisiasm in all school activities have made him well liked. MISS WELCH iliss Welch has done a great deal in making the Mishawaka High School the advanced school that it is. In the years she has been with us she has won the heart of every puiiil by her love and kindness. i[R. MILLER Mr. Miller is the head of the Commercial Depart- ment and is a very busy man. He is famous for demanding absolute silence and attention in his classes which doesn ' t make him any less liked among his pupils. His head is chuck full of stories and past experiences, so he is very inter- esting. MISS TURNER Miss Turner is our beloved History teacher. She conies from Indiana and has certainly proven her wortli to oui ' scliool. We could not do without her. 10 ' j ' ± SJECOCTppc Q 5 MISS HOWE Miss Howe is in the English Departineiit. Before coming to ilishawaka she graduated from Indiana University. She has been with ns since Septem- lier, 1913. and has many friends, including many naughty little Freshies. .MR. DAVIS Mr. Davis, our new Science teacher, has only been with us since January. It has lieen saitl that he is very shy among the other sex — with the exception of a little lady from Ehvood. his home town. MISS KERN What the school would do without j Iiss Kern is doubtful to say. She is loved by all her pupils. Even when she is cross and there is reproof upon her lips, there is a smile in her eye. She teaches Botany, Physiology, Hygiene an l Circus. MISS HOCKETT She is small— but 0, my ! She can hold the atten- tion (if her pupils without trouble. Since Miss Hockett came to Mishawaka in 1912. to take charge of the English Department, she has given ample proof that we could not do without her for various reasons — dramatics, for instance. 11 ' jMI SKiOCTpPC Q MISS LOCKHART Miss Loekhart is tlie supervisor of Art iu our school and lias l)ec(Miie a great friend to all her pupils. Miss Loekhart hails from Kalamazoo. She graduated from Kalamazoo High School, also from the Western State Normal. MR. PINNEY Mr. Piniiey is the head of our Printing Depart- ment. He joined the ranks of the Faculty in September, 1914. He is a graduate of Purdue. We did not realize how much we needed a Print- ing Department until Mr. Pinney proved it to us. MISS TERRY Whatever could we do without Miss Terry? If a pupil has musical talent, she can bring out the music. If the pupil has none in him he will have, after being under her supervision. MISS SIMPSON We are all proud of Miss Simpson. Her interest and willingness to assist in all school social affairs have made her indisi ensible to us. 12 ' iMIl SJCOCTPPC Q-L .MISS GERNIIAKT Though I Iiss Ueniliart lias only bceni with us since Felnniary. her genial and kind disposition has won her many friends among the students ol ' hei- sewing department. .MR. IIIXDELANG Mr. Hindelang is our Manual Training teacher and Athletic coach, hut the last thi ' ce months he has taken an unusual interest in Art aiul every- thing pei ' taining to Ihe suiiject. : nSS TODD Violet was graduated from M. II. S. in 1!)14 and was given charge of the school library. She is a jolly person and one w ' e would miss if she w-ere to leave. In the library she is perfectly able to keep order even though she is not very big. 13 x i - 14 ' im: sjcocTppc Q I The Shadow of the Principal T WAS a (lark, rainy ilay and 1 chanced to run to the living roun), hanging the door loudly. jNIy sister, already there and reading, greeted me with Sh! Listen! Seeing the interested expression on her face 1 hushed inmiediately. She read aloud the poem. Our Shadow-Selves, a part of which is: This learned I from the shadow of a tree, That to and fro did sway upon a wall. Our shadow-selves — our influences — may fall Vhere we can never he. Isn ' t it so: ' she asked. Our influences go out on every hand to everyone and they are our shadow-selves. You notice, she continued, you ' ll find as many shadow-selves as real people. I left the room and walking down the street came suddenly ui on one of the girls. She turned to walk with me and we fell to talking of the luncheon to he given Vednesday. And the sandw iches! I exclaimed, you ha e to make those, don ' t youf Yeah, she answered, hut I must be carefid. ]Miss Simpson said I had inu much ' dope ' in mine befoi ' e. I started, for the way she had said yeah and the use of the word dope re- minded me of someone ' s else use of those two words. O! she continued, Wouldn ' t it be a fine thing if we could get them ready to—. ■ I struggled to keep back a smile, then I rudely laughed, but I think I have found, in so far as speech is concerned, the shadow of the principal. Lois Gakvix, ' 16. 15 ' jMl ' ± SK:OCrpPC Q-L The Faculty The things that give us highest thought. They must be learned — they can ' t be bought ; And that is why in M. H. S. We have a faculty. I guess. To everything the students do. They somehow seem to find a clue, And tho Ave think we ' ve bluffed them (juite, . We soon find out they knew allright! And A -hen from class we ' re sometimes sent, And we get docked a three per cent, We always say that they ' re to blame, When really we have caused the flame. And yet when all is said and done, There isn ' t any, no not one That we would want to do w ithout. Or hear distressing news about.

S.: not without regret and not without the satisfaction of having gotten a great deal and also having given something. Here we have spent many of the haj)- piest days of our life, and here we have received the firm foundation for later woi ' k. We are proud that we are the first class to have spent four whole years in the new building. The days when we were Freshies and Sophs under the worthy lead- ership of ]Miss Welch, will never be forgotten. We liave enjoyed watching our school grow, and the addition of a printing press and a moving picture machine, which marks our school as one of the most pro- gressive in the state, enables us to leave with a sigh of relief and satisfaction. We feel. that, although we are not any better or brighter than any other class in the wide world, we have given the school a few things to be proud of, and have worthily done our part toward making I. H. S. what it is today. In 1913 Helen Donovan, one of our members, won a gold medal for letter writ- ing in the Lake Forest Contest. Her letter was so perfect that it is now being studied in many schools. In 1914 Freda Bash won a silver medal for oral speak- ing in the Lake Forest Contest. In the same year Garfield Lovell won a silver medal for an oration in the Xorthern Indiana Contest. Our boys have played a large part in making the Athletics of the school so successful; eight of the boys who have won INI ' s for athletic honors belong to the class of ' 15. In ' 14 we won the Interclass Soccer pennant, a victory of no little importance. We are glad that we were the revivers of the INIiskodeed, and we hope that the following classes will follow our example, and put out an Annual. And now. as we are lea ng our school, classmates, and teachers, we wish we could express what they have meant to us. hat an inspiration they have been in our lives. Our later lives, however, will show more plainly than any words can tell the lessons we have learned in ]M. H. S. It is our sincerest hope that we have not alone been the gainers, but that we have also contributed that which will make our school a bigger, better, and higher institution of learning.

H. S., can boast not only of quantity but (without a bit of conceit when we say it) of quality. Of course it isn ' t necessary to publish the fact for everyone who has come in contact with us has come to realize it — but if by chance you are a stranger in these parts, just look over our book and see for yourself an example of what we can do. Our class has no motto, but we have adopted Always Original. We were even an original looking bunch when we first timidly ]jut our feet on the door-step of M. H. S. at the beginning of our High School career. The first year we were here, we made ourselves known in all school activities — both athletic and social. The class of ' 16 has been represented on all the school teams — on oratorical as well as basket ball and base ball, throughout its career. We are proud that we can say that we belong to good old M. H. S. and through our interest and spirit towards the school we have, and will try to prove our worth to the INlaroon and White. 28 ' j ' ± SK:OCrppc ' ±Q-L ' 5 JAMES SAYEITZER. Jim Phil. Class Pres.

The first in- stallment of us arrived the spring before, as a sort of vanguard. The upper classmen thought us rather green; but a surprise Avas due them. It came in the shape of the Freshman Party. Some were inclined to make fun of it, but we noticed they were very glad to receive an invitation. Afterwards it was pronounced a success by everybody. In athletics, we did well for Freshmen. In the annual soccer tournament we gave the Sophomores a good fight, but owing to tlie fact that we were new to the game, we lost. In the present school year, it being our Sophomore years, we have been rather dead along the line of entertainments and parties. We are going to try to make up for this, by making the Junior Prom., given in our next year, a record-breaking event. We have been doing a good deal better in athletics this year, probably due to the efforts of William (Bill) INIcKnight. And it may be said right here, that when lie graduates at the end of this semester. Tlie class will sustain a serious loss. We were represented in basket-ball, and The Soi)homore soccer team gave the Juniors a hard rub for the flag, but lost by a score of 4 to 2. In a short time, we will be Juniors, and looking back on those carefree Sopho- more days, The Freshmen have beginners troubles, the Juniors are getting ready for those weightj ' Senior responsibilities, and the Seniors have those weighty responsi- bilities, themselves, we should feel some regret that our Sophomore days are over. 38 ' ZMZ SKIOCTPPC 9 39 j ' ± sE:ocrppc Q ' Sophomore Class Roll Ainlay, Gladys Baldwin, Ella Barber, JNIargaret Brundiage, Harold Barkay, Walter Byam, Viola Burkhai ' t, Theresa Booher, Opal Bortner, Krmal Burnett, Florence Cocanouer, Mabel Chrisman, Earl DeCrane, Maurice Eager, JMarj Engers, Charles Fisher, Aline Fite, John Fahnstock, Esther Gates, Ruth Gartner, Wilbur Huenerkoph, Bernedette Hunt, Arthur Hass, Raymond Holmes, JNIyrna Jontz, Joseph Kitteridge, Jaunita Lambert, Viola Lutes, Ruth IN ' Iiller, George ] IcIntosh, Wallace JNIcKnight, William JNIeckelnburg, Robert Neiswonger, JNIartha Parrish, Roy Rohleder, Ralph Robbins, Rockford Schwartz, Lillian Stearns, Mary Saltsgiver, Irene Studley, Ellen Shirk, Hurland Snyder, Arthur Stanley, Afl:)ert Van Skyhawk, Hugh Waidner, JNIary Willet, JNIaurine White, INIildred Williams, Roger Zimmerman, AVilma 40 im: SJECOCTPPC Q-L ' 41 ' ' ± SKZOCTpPC d O Class of ' 18 OFFICERS President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Sergeant-at-x rms, Milton Stubbs - I Iildred Todd - Claytina Ainlay ]Mary K.

Its ])resident as well as most of its officers were elected from the new Freshies. There being enough of these to carry the vote in favor of one of their number. This was not customary and caused a disagreement. Regardless of the feeliu ' which seemed to exist between the two divisions of the class, it progressed in most of the ways Freshies are supposed to, namely annoy as well as aggrieve the teachers, furnish amusement for the upper-classmcn and act as scapegoats for the same. It must be acknowledged that what one of the upper-classmen said is true, when he siiid it was impossible to designate just where our class hailed from, and that freckles and sunburned complexions were a few of the most prominent character- istics. It will be well to hold in mind that it has a great future before it. One of the notable features of the year occurred October 23, when the Fresh- men gave a party, inviting the upper-classmen. Another important date was Jan. 19, when forty-three more Freshies were welcomed into their new places in ac- cordance with certain customs of the school. Some of our class have already made rapid progress in the Athletic tield, and it is my earnest hope that oin- class will raise itself, mentally as well as physically, to a level where it can fill the vacated places of the Seniors with respect and honor to old M. H. S. I will close this epistle with much respect and many thanks to our most learned teachers, who have dealt kindly with us, and exerted every known method to bring home to our minds some golden thought Avhich will be used in our later life, and to whom we are much indebted. 42 ' j ' ± SK:OCrppc d 9 - ii ' ■ ■ ■ — gr .

And then after we finish someone walks out on tlie stage with a big cane and a Prince Albert and tells us we have only begun, that when we graduate we are only being launched on the sea of life, etc. When we hear it how sorry we feel for him that he can ' t see us as Ave see ourselves! And then later, how our disillusionment sets in! And the disillusioning keeps up so long, that we feel it must soon come to a standstill for want of fresh material to work on. But finally one day we see it as the Prince Albert man saw it, and he has been on a pedestal ever since. An Alumnus said to me the other dav, Isn ' t it too bad that knowledge and experience aren ' t cumulative throughout generations ? If a daughter began her life in knowledge and experience M ' here her mother finished, and the mother had be- gini hers where her mother had finished, and so on. each person now living would thus be in possession of the accumulated result of the knowledge of all his ancestors. But if this were the plan, we probably wouldn ' t succeed as well as under the old style, in which each little babe has to bum]) its own nose, and life is just a suc- cession of experiences — some of them pretty rough. It is the refining fire, and the good Lord knew it was necessary for each to go through his own experiences. So the oldest Alumnus, other things being- equal, knows best how little the youngest one really knows, and if any of you are not real sure, just come around to some of us old .ones for some advice — we ' ll try to make you see it! But you won ' t! You must get the bumps yourself. E. G. Eberhart, ' 87. 48 gjcocTppc 0 5 1904 IT is a pleasure to act as one of the spokesman for the alumni dejjartment of the Year Book. It gives us great satisfaction to have this ox)portunity of assert- ing our membership in the student-body of tlie High School. The resident members of the school are often inclined to think that they constitute the entire per- sonnel of the school. We feel it om- duty, hoAvever, to point out the fallacy of such a conception. The alumni are just as much a part of the real school as those who are about to be alumni. Indeed, in point of numbers, the graduate body of the school far exceeds the undergraduate enrollment. Xumerically speaking, the greater ])art of the High School constituency is out in the world selling goods, rocking cra- dles, delving in science, or passing on the lore of the world to future generations. This group of men and women, former ]Mishawaka boys and girls, constitutes by far the greatest part of the High School, and tlieir contribution to society constitutes the reason for the existence of the school. When we look back over the careless days we sjjent on the campus, we are amazed at the depth of the impression which the school left upon us. In those days our most absorbing interests were far remoA ' cd from the actual curriculum of the school. What cared we for the Fall of Troy when the Fall of the ' New Carlisle basket-ball team was of so much more moment? We marvelled at the interest Miss Welch could find in Caesar ' s egotistical campaigns when a far more interesting cam- paign was on for the presidency of the class. The charms of Shakespearian lines were as nothing in our ears compared with the allurements of Down in Dixie. When we thus review, in dispassionate retrospect, our attitudes toward the scholastic activities of the High School, we are surprised that we emerged in jios- session of any kind of learning. Xevertheless, we fovmd when facing the problems of life, that we liad been quite well equipped; though oiu- erudition was probably not secured as the diploma courteously puts it, by diligently pursuing the course of study. We strongly susj ect that our learning resulted from the fact that we were diligently pursued by our instructors. It surely ought to be a source of com- fort to them to see the respectability that has come to some of us whom they sor- rowfidly regarded as almost hopeless. Therefore, when they see their present charges dawdling over their tasks, exerting almost super-human energy to evade the work of the curriculum, and resisting discipline M-ith almost devilish cunning, they ought by no means to despair. In spite of seeming discouragements, real l rogress is being made. An unseen force is at work — that same leavening influence which moulded the preceding generations. This unseen force will take the most uiq)romising material and mould it into a type of citizenship that will be the bul- wark of the nation, and will extend the influence of the ]Mishawaka High School in an ever-increasing circle of usefulness.

Musical History This is the second year of work for the Music Department of our School, and this year a fuller outliiie has been covered. Beginning with Ancient IMusic we have traced the development through Early Church .Alusic, Secular Schools, the .Musical Renaissance, the Classical, Romantic and National Schools. Classes ui Harmony have been conducted twice a week. The Victrola has been used much in illustrating different compositions and several musicians of the city have kindly played for us from the different masters. The Study of Musical Historv has broadened our thought of Musical Art by sliowing us the genius of musicians, past and present. Most of all it has taught lis to appreciate intelligently the great music. 51 :M: sK:ocropc o s H«MM|iMMMMt«M% ■ ' ' MM«%lM«ikM M«««MMMM%!

There are one hundred members this year, the largest membership we have eyer had. We haye seyeral times sung at morning exercises and at Lyceum, and we also had the pleasure of singing carols around the INIunicipal Christmas Tree. The Chorus was honored by being asked to take part in the program of the Northern Indiana Teachers ' Association and we furnished two numbers on the first night of the conyention, Spring Reyelries, by Horatio Parker and The Soldier ' s Life, by Sir Arthur Sulliyan. The success of the Chorus was due to the careful training of the Supervisor, Miss Terry. 52 ' :m: ' ± sjKocTppc o s • - • c  C f. SOCILTY 53 )V — Society Calendar OCTOBER 9th Sunrise — The Jubilee AFTER we had settled down as much as was jjossible. or expected, the ques- tion arose as to what excuse we could give to turn on the social light, Boheni- ianistically called, The jNIidnight Sun, (which, however, was doomed to set at 10:30 p. m. promptly. And as at the time we were confronted with the ques- tion, also, concerning the sale of the iVthletic Association season tickets, it was deemed feasible to unite the two using the former as an inducement to the latter. (Deep stuff!) This sale was conducted much as lieretofore — as a contest between the boys and girls to see which could get the higher percentage of sales and members with the party as a reward of virtue — or at least industry. ( Lajise of time. ) The contest was run fairly ( ?) and the two rival sides tied at 100 per cent. But we had the party just the same — to reward everybody. And as the newspa- pers said the next tlay, The Auditorium was very tastefully decorated. Refresh- ments were served. By wliich the general i ublic might infer much or little. jNIuch would come nearer the actual state of affairs. Instead of being nice and lady-and-gentleman-like and having one ' s food brought to one, one had to amuse the general assembly before one could get any- thing to eat. One had one ' s choice of singing, dancing, reciting or guessing con- tests, for which amusing stunts one was entitled to so much food. The more one could do the more one got to eat; consequently some of us developed hitherto unsuspected talent. Without a doubt it was extremely funny to those not at the time participating, but it surely was ruinous to one ' s dignity. We ' d rather go hungry. The party, however, was an entire success and everybody had a perfectly (to quote Let) supergodfloj)tious time. OCTOBER 23rd Tonight was the night, as our distinguished friend, William Shakespeare Jones says. The annual Freshman party was held in the High School Auditorium. CoUeffians wovild call it the Frosh Prom. Let ' s mobilize and start something. The Freshman party is a highly estimable function originated and established by our class — 1916 — may she never be forgotten! Arriving more or less tardily and guided upward by the rumble of noise over- head, we entered the auditorium. The first imj ression was one of surprise. Shaded by orange and black jjaper, the lights were discreetly dimmed throughout the hall. But it was awfully jjretty to see all the girls in their light dresses in the soft glow of the lights. 54 ' j ' ± SKIOcTppc ' l.Q-L We danced, naturally, and were refreshed at the proper time by the Freshies who were very excellent hosts and hostesses. In harmony with the black and orange shaded lights we were served with orange ice in which had been stuck small black cats. We don ' t know whether the cats were symbolic of Hallowe ' en or the class spirit. We hope the former. At the appointed hour we were politely but firmly shooed homeward volubly expressing our appreciation of the evening ' s entertainment. NO ' S ' EMBKR 20th Social Club After having enticed us to depart from our hard-earned, long-hoarded two-bits, we were very cordially imited to attend Social Club. And, not having anything else to do, we went. Nothing unusual happened. We danced, them as could, and had refreshments consisting of pumpkin pie and cheese. If you were lucky you got both, but you were fortunate if you got either. However, everybody seemed to have a good time. Whv else do we exist: '  dece:mbkr 10th Socks and Buskins Party Having wondered for some time, possibly all of five minutes, why on earth we had a dramatic club we unanimously decided that it would serve as an excellent excuse for some kind of a party. An excuse being all that was needed a party as accordingly scheduled to be held in the gym. Shades of the Antarctic! but it was cold. So cold, in fact, that it t()t)k a half an hour of Three I3eep to warm us up sufficiently to enable us to speak four consec- utive and understandable words. Not as yet being insane with the humidity, Vinkuni was suggested and because of our excellent chaperonage only south side rules were used. Si said he never played anything but north side rules — too bad he had to be disappointed. Having borrowed tiie victor from the music department and accunudated all tlie dance records available, dancing was next on the program. Some restless soul, however, decided that the auditorium was the one and only place to dance, so up we all went regardless of the committee ' s plans which were distinctly otherwise: and once there we refused to come down until we were told that it was time for refreshments. Authorized by a position on the conmiittee to an exclusive occupation of the dining room. Dot, Jo, Si and Bob monopolized said dining room and judging by the weird collection of noises emanating thence we should judge that Bob was ex- hibiting his usual line of comedy. Filled to a proper degree, a motion for adjournment was in order and shortly the committee was left to the joyous dish- washing revelry which is the usual climax to all Hiffh School festivities. ' im: sjcocTppc o DECEMBER 15 th Social Club Again As Christmas vacation approached, the ordinarily uneventful Social Club assumed a gala appearance and emerged from the event AA-ith the finances in a neg- ative condition. But it was some party. IVe, the undersigned, were on the com- mittee chairmaned by JNIiss Lockhart and assisted by Si. Adelaide, and Bill. Si having been delegated to produce a Christmas tree spent one whole after- noon riding with Dot in search of one and then managed to have it conveniently misplaced. This unjjreventable little piece of comedy which necessitated the pur- chase of a tree sadly depleted the treasury already in a most unstable condition. The Christmas tree stunt was carried out much as heretofore with gifts for all good girls and boys. Tee-hee! Dempster, as Santa Clans made his usual hit, and everybody was happy. However, the predominate feature from an artistic standpoint was the color- scheme. Elaborate to the nth degree and supervised by ]Miss Ijockhart what else could you expect? From lights delicately shaded in red and green to the harmon- izing red punch with red and green cherries, it was one delightful symphony. It was luscious punch, too ; at seventy-five cents a gallon it ought to be. And if the punch was perhaps a shade or Uvo lighter than it ought to have been blame it on the rose ]Miss Lockhart wore at the time of the purchase of the punch to wliich said punch was referred for color. Everj ' body had a great time with the mechanical toys and behaved in a man- ner supposed to be frowned on by all High School students with the exception of the Freshies. At the end of the evening those who considered themselves too dig- nified and staid to use their toys were requested to leave them on the stage for dis- tribution among the jjoor kiddies in the more unfortunate families that the High School cared for at Christmas time. I ' m sure the kiddies enjoj ed the toys greatly. JANUARY 29th Dance After the LaPoete Game As the Powers-That-Be were in a better-than-usual humor we were allowed to dance after the LaPorte game, regardless of the fact that the score was not in our favor. All those not afflicted with the mumps attended the dance and enjoyed them- selves — at least to all appearances. We think that it would be an excellent idea to establish the custom of having dances after all the basket-ball games next year. How do you feel about it? FEBRUARY 22nd First Team Jollification As a reward for beating South Bend, and in expression of our appreciation of tlieir good work the Athletic Association entertained the members of the first team. Knowing of old their more energetic methods of amusement the program of events was planned to suit their tastes. In honor of George Washington, as well as the team, tlie auditorium was decorated in red, white and blue streamers and flags. 56 J ' ±SJ OCfc Gd Q -5 Vell, they all got there sooner or later, and after much coaxing, pleading, and finally, shoving, they were linetl up to play Three Deej) — our old standby. And say, you ought to see Mr. Horton cut corners! He ' s there like glue — a regular sticker! JSIost of the others needed skid chains and banked curves but not our principal — oh, no! The rope for the tug of war was seized upon and used as a jumping rope antl in about five minutes the decorations were a teetotal wreck. However, Lew proved his agility as a first-class rope- jumper and Jim Boles nearly ruined his reputation, as it were. The baseball game aroused possibly two degrees more enthusiasm, though we ' re inclined to doubt it. Owing to the fact that the girls refused to remain wall- flowers any longer, winkum was suggested and one by one the reluctant by- standers were hauled into the noisy game. Vhen the call to refreshments came there was a wild stampede for the lower regions where abundant helpings of fruit salad, rolls and coffee were served. The team ate in the dining room in real style while the rest of us poor mortals heaved trays of food up three flights of stairs for a lap-lunch. After supper we danced as long and as much as we could, which wasn ' t nearly long enough. (Deeji Stuff!) When the lights started to go out as a gentle reminder and they started to play Home. Sweet Home. a chorus of groans went up in protest. From which we should judge that they really did have a good time after all. Mauch 11th INIoviNG Pictures C ' mon. C ' mon to th ' JNIovies. Pathe ' s Weekly, our very first movies in High School. The imitations volunteered by the audience were most interesting, espec- ially to the imitators. JNIARCH 27th AgxVin Social Club Attended by the usual ci ' owd of couples and some widowers. Social Club enter- tained once more. The usual eats and dancing were nothing out of the ordinary. And everyone had a regular Social-Clubish time. APRIL 2 1st Orchestra Recital Assisted by JNIr. Parreant and some of his pupils the M. H. S. Orchestra gave its first public recital. A very pleasing program was given. There was quite a bit of competition for interest between the stage and the audience. The main disturb- ance being a rapid-fire, gatling-gun, gum chewer in the third row who simply con- vulsed the audience by her perfect rotary, ragtime motion. JUNE 4th JuxiOR Prom. After a slight conflict and division of tlie class it was decided that we have a reception until nine o ' clock and then dance. We hope every one will have a per- fectly lovely time and all he wants to eat and that the occasion will serve as a fitting conclusion to the 1914.-191.5 social season. Sunset. S7 ZMZ SJCOcTppc Od S 58 T); f(iATie Socks and Buskins Society FOR several years the High School has felt the need of a dramatic society. But it was not until this year, under the ahle management of Miss Hockett and Miss Howe, that it was organized. On Octoher 153, the following names ap- peared on the hoard : Floyd Fulmer Helen Service Helen I ang Dempster Beatty Harold Gardner Pierce Ormond We were told to meet in Miss Howe ' s room after school. liss Howe and Miss Hockett there unfolded the plan of a dramatic cluh and told us that we had heen chosen as the charter members. We adopted a constitution, chose a name, and elected officers, as all properly organized c lubs do. Our officers are Garfield Lovell, president; Dorothy Noyes. vice-president; Lester I.ott, secretary and treasurer; Chester Bussert, manager. At the beginning of the second semester, we elected the following members to our club: ]Maro-aret Barber Lew Wallace James Sweitzer Garfield Lovell Lester Lott Chester Bussert Dorothy Xoyes Harold Kasterday D. J. Graham Emma Schmidt Josephine Ahara Dorothy Nlix Martha Xeiswonger Freda Bash ]Marv Robinson Oscar Peterson Dema Leopold Sylvia Folker Elbridge Studley ]Miss Turner, honorary 59 mT J ' ± S l O d G d tLO Mr. Bob ON February 16, the first Dramatic club play was given. Of course we were proud of it! Why shouhhrt we be In fact we didn ' t know there was so niucli talent in the High School which hadn ' t been brought out before. Les - ter Lott, who achie ed success in the Box of Monkeys again won fame as Mr. Brown in this play. D. J. Graham, a natural actor (and dancer), played the part of the good-looking college fellow, Philip Royson. We couldn ' t have hoped for a better person to fill the part in any way. D. J. did it to perfection! Helen Service as Marion Bryant, the mistaken ] Ir. Bob. was fine. She— oh, well, you know, she fell in love with Philip and it really was done beautifully — thanks to the coach- ing of JNIiss Hockett and Sliss Howe. And e can still see her sailing that yacht, can we not? We can in our mind ' s eye, for Josephine explained it to us fully. Jo took the part of Katherine, JNIr. Bob ' s friend, and was splendid, simply splendid. She hadn ' t shown us any of her talent since she was a Freshman and I fear some had nearly forgotten slie was an actress, but it ' s fixed in our minds for good now. Dema, as Philip ' s aunt in whose home the scenes were laid was excellent. We ' ll o-ive her a great big E for it! We ' ll admit that she wasn ' t our Dema because she had gray ban- and was terribly worried but all the same it was done just as naturally as anything. And, too, her hobby was cats and we know that isn ' t true in real life at all because she has altogether too many beaux to bother with cats. Last but not least, are Emmy as the maid and Oscar as the butler. Their scenes from Romeo and Juliet were especially fine. We held our breath when Emmy sat on the step-ladder but she didn ' t fall. The play only lasted an hour and a half, but every minute was thoroughly en- joyed. 60 ' j ' ± s:K:ocrppc -±0 Senior Vaudeville Ox January 21. tlie Seniors entertained ns with a fine vaudeville. Tt was not only a draniatie success, but a iinaneial one as well. Alisle liockoif is a sleight-of-hand performer, without a doubt. He can do anythino- with ])roper apparatus. Denijjster Beatty and Harold Cxardner gave us another of their laughable sketches. Lew Wallace, our noted female imperson- ator, performed a clever act with Eldbridge Studley. A chorus of High School students sang Tipperary as one of their luimbers in which they appeared as Red Cross nurses and wounded soldiers. A school room scene with (rarfield Lovell as the German schoolmaster. Dempster Beatty the village cut- up. Harold Gardnei ' the Jew, and Fred Seifert the little angel child, teacher ' s pet, was very laughable. Tommy Fuson and Sandy McTavis ' i were the only outside performers. Tom sang a darkey song, and Mr. ]McTavish entertained us with a wScottish dance. The Seniors apiJreciated tiieir kindness very much. 61 kT ' ± SJKZOcTppc Q ' 62 ' j ' ± SJCOCTppc 9 ' The Big -M ' Circus TUVj Bio- - r Circus given by the Mishawaka High School, ]May 7, was a wonderful success. INIanager Bussert with his troop of helpers deserves great praise. The parade was one of which Kingling himself need not have been ashamed. The floats showed real work as well as artistic ability, especially the .Junior Float. Civics, Peace, IMusic, Art and Sophomore. A legion of about 300 enthusiastic students heli)ed to make the affair one to l)e recorded on the pages of history. The big show at night was held in the auditorium. Xever before was there such a crowd in ]M. H. S. The jMotion Pictures, Shadow Play, and The Saucy Sliss Sunnuers act were weU appreciated as shown by the frecjuent applause. After the big performance the multitudes swarmed to the lower floors where they jjartook of hot weenies, peanuts, candy, red lemonade and ice cream cones. The Katzinjammer Castle was a regular labyrinth with its numerous compart- ments, and the terrific electric shock which was felt at the exit gave heart failure to many. Our array of efficient policemen kept the mob within the bounds of law and or- der and the coiu ' t treasury abounded with fines from the arrest of persons found breaking laws. The offenders were found guilty, principally for picking pockets, flirting, being present and assulting an officer. Our side shows were so numerous and good that tlie ])atrons were iniwilling to leave, even at the wee small hours of the morning. The laughing gallery afforded amusement to the stout people, especially, but some of the people were not so amused at their reflections. We must not forget the Knock the Xigger Babies Show either; the audience consisted mostly of boys. EA ' ery one joined in the circus spii-it and had hilarious times.

The st yle show was pleasing to the women patrons although men who visited the place beat a hasty retreat. The Ivatzen- jammer jungle proved to be one of the attractive side shows and Durno, the wizard, did a land office business. Other forms of amusement were provided and everyone of the many hun- dred had plenty of opportunity for full-fledged enjoyment. COMPLIMENTS PAID BIG M CIRCUS OFFICIALS Miss Kate Kern and Chester Bussert Con- tributed to the Success of High School Entertainment. Many pleasing compliments are being di- rected toward those who took part in the sec- ond annual Big ' M Circus, which was held by the student body of the Mishawaka High School. Much of the credit for its success is due to Miss Kate Kern, who with splendid executive ability directed the entire performance from beginnin.g to end. The following are names of the students composing the board of managers: Chester Bussert. manager; Elbridge Studley, finance; Fred Seifert, parade; Roy Neikart, eats; Dempster Beatty, advertising; George Eber- hart, music; .John Branstrator. clowns; George Byrkit, police; Helen Lang, souvenirs; D.

Friday was circus day. and the city was filled with visitors who had come from far and near to see the street parade in connection with the second annual Big M Circus, given by the Mishawaka High School. It was billed as Mishawaka ' s Greatest Attraction, and no one denies the veracity of the ambitious title. It was indeed great, and had all the features of the professional aggregation, including the lateness in getting away from the grounds, pink lem- onade, clowns, wild beasts of the jungle and the inevitable caliope which brought up the rear of the parade. One of the big features of the circus was the main show, given in the auditorium of the building and which was packed to capacity, under the able direction of D. .J. Graham. This show was in the nature of a vaudeville enter- tainment. Lew Wallace, the star of The Saucy Miss Summers, must be given much credit for the success of the feature act of the main show, the sketch being written by him- self several years ago. THRONGS AMUSED BY BIG M CIRCUS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE SUCCESSFUL. Mishawaka ' s Big M Circus shortly before midnight packed its tents and stored them away until next year, laying aside with the para- phernalia an achieved success outranging past efforts of the High School student body. In point of attendance the largest crowd witnessed the main show in the auditorium that has ever pressed itself into the spacious inclosure. When the opening hour, 7:30, arrived, a throng of people was on hand to enter the building and gain the best possible seats and by S o ' clock the S. R. O. sign was displayed. Not only was every seat occupied but every inch of standing room, as well, was taken. 64 ' ZMZ SJCOCTPPC Q S 65 IMIrL SKIOCTPPC 9 ' Fortune Smiles on Calamity Ann 0 IXTEEX cents, that the limit of my pile.

I ' ve had so many that 1 am afraid to go to the beach, good swinuuer that I am, for I am positive I could never keep afloat after eating those self serve doughnuts. Peg Howard busied herself about the two-by-foiu- flat she and her sister had occupied since the Broadway Bells, a company with more talent than money, had broken up and left them stranded in this Xew England village. That is the limit, she continued. Here I have a wire from IcKnight, tell- ing me to come at once to rehearse for the lead in Everywoman. And me with sixteen cents in my grouch bag and Ann to take care of, and good old Broadway only seventeen dollars and nineteen cents worth of railway fare awav. Just then a series of crashes came from the hall below. Zounds! that ' s Calam- ity Ann. She always makes a noise like a foot ball game Avhen she navigates up those perilous stairs. The door opened, and there was presented a picture that would ha ' e made Rem- brandt turn green with envy. Framed by the bescratcbed -woodwork of the door, with a background of entrancing wallpaper, put on during the Renaissance, judg- ing from the many coats of grease upon its sui-face, stood Calamity Ann, a smear of mud on one cheek and a battered hat in her hand Goodness! I didn ' t hear the storm, exclaimed Peg, what have you been do- mg? Oh! exclaimed Ann, the nicest man knocked me down with his car. He was so nice that I told him that 1 wasn ' t hurt in the least. He is going to send a man around tonight to pay for my hat which only cost ninety-eight cents anyway. But I thought that if we coidd get five dollars it would help pay the rent. Pay the rent, indeed! there ' s no more putting off his majesty, the landlord. Suddenly Peg sprang up, a crafty look mingled one of good natured de- termination o ' erspreading her coiuitenance. Why, Ann. you know I paid fifty dollars for that hat and -()ur leg is almost broken. This latter member of anatomy she began to wrap up in a rather be- smudged white table cloth.. And your poor head. This remark accompanied with a bath towel about the head of Ann, completely covering one of her eyes. Oh! Oh! Oh! dear, I didn ' t know I was so sick, cried Ann, Oh! my poor head. Listen! here is the claim agent. Come in. Good evening, jNIiss, I am the claim agent for INIr. Paxton. I have five dollars to pay a young lady whose hat he bent in this afternoon.

She was too much for him, so he signed with the air of a martyr. The door closed and his footsteps re-echoed down the stairs. Hurry.

The Fable of the Ford and the National Once on a street a Ford stopped near a big National. As soon as the Xational recognized the Ford, he made fun of him. Look, who ' s here, cried the Xational in a jeering voice, Look! Here ' s one of those road-pests. The other automobiles laughed and made more fun of the Ford. The Ford remained silent and was thinking how he could get even with the Xational. At last the Ford said, I bet I could beat you in a race over any count ry road. Pooh! I wouldn ' t want to be seen witli you. re])lied the Xational. Ho, you ' re afraid, eh ' Xo, I ' m not, but I don ' t want to lose my self-respect by running around with you. The other cars urged the Xational to try it. saying, You ' ll leave him so far behind that he ' ll never get back till doomsday. As soon as their masters came, they started off. Out over a country road they went. The national soon left the Ford far behind. They turned back to the city by a different road. When they were within two miles of the city, they struck a sandy spot. The Xational plowed halfway through it and then stopped. He couldn ' t back up or go ahead. About fifteen minutes later the Ford came rattling along. The Ford hit the sand and went along without being retarded in the least. Good-bye dearie. cried the Ford, and don ' t stay out too late; you might catch cold. ' Half an hour later the Ford drove uj) to the starting place. He asked, Have yon seen anything of the big bluffer ? Xo. they answered, where is he; ' Oh! just stuck in the sand out there, and rolled merrily away. Edgar Orenchain, ' 18. 67 IMIrL SK:OCrpPC O Farmer Jones Catastrophe NATHAN JONES was one of those mean, ornery old time farmers whose ways of farming were so old, that even Adam would refuse to recognize them. Thin, gaunt, slip-shod, and awkward, one of the hest tohacco juice shots in the old Cronies cluh, he was a fine relic of the foi ' gotten ages. Now, if Jones was a century hehind in his farming, his modern neighbors could surely get some good points from him about raising pum])kins. His year ' s crop rose in a golden jji le against his barn, and he well might be proud of it. It was a cut and dried fact with him that the one hundred dollars in gold, given by the annual county fair for the best pimipkins, was his. To hear him talk, one would think that it was already in his pocket. The day before the fair dawned clear, and Jones hitched up his horse, Nebuch- adnezzar, whose age would have made lethusalah blush, to a nondescript wagon, M-hich was doing service in the time of the Civil Wai ' , and proceeded to load up his pumpkins. After a good hour ' s work, about twenty of the largest and best pump- kins were lodged in the wagon, giving it a top-heavy appearance. Finally he got imder way and started down the road. After traveling some distance he met an old sailor, Tom lilarney, who had found anchor for the rest of his life, in Jones ' neighborhood. The old sailor, noticing the nondescript and top- heavy appearance of the wagon, ventured to give some advice. A-hoy, mate! he cried. ' T3on ' tcha ' think you ' re carryin ' too much sail? Keep your gab to yourself, you son-of-a-wind- jammer, snarled Jones, who took exquisite pleasure in being uncivil. That I will. Cap ' , said Blarney, and by the looks of the old hooker, you ' re goin ' to run into some tough squalls before you reach port. Jones growled a few unintelligible words, and moved on. Blarney gazed after him for a moment, then softly muttered, Be-gorry, I ' ll cruise after the old pirate, azid I ' ll bet a sea-biscuit against a plug of tobacco that he ' ll run afoul on old Cran- dale ' s Hill. Now% Crandale ' s Hill was a very steep hill, about a mile distant, a regular jumping tearer to the farmers. Jones had never had an accident on this hill, due more to luck than skill, therefore he was a little careless about stowing his cargo, as Blarney would say, before he began the ascent. About two-thirds of the way up, a big pumpkin broke loose. It started down the road like a streak of yellow light- ning. Jones followed close after. After chasing it about one-fifth of a mile, the pumpkin swerved off the road, struck a tree, and enlightened the world as to what the interior of a pumpkin is made of. He slowly retraced his steps. When he was within one hundred yards of the wagon, another ])umpkin slid off the wagon, and down the hill. Jones tackled it two seconds later. But alas, what the pumpkin did to Jones may be clearly pictured. He looked as if he had struck a cyclone, in which pumpkin pies featured mainly. But this wasn ' t all. A, third, four, and fifth, possessed of the imp of ])erverseness following his immediate predecessor, started dowTi the incline at a rip-tearing pace. Farmer Jones made connection with all, but in every case received the worse end of the deal. 62 ZMI SKiOcTpPC Od. But as ill directed action of the old adage, that troubles never come singly, the tail-board of tlie wagon fell out, letting the whole host of pumpkins stream down the road like a l)unch of yellow Cossacks on a raid, turning aside for nobody or nothing. Jones was knocked down, rolled over, banged uj), and had his face rammed six inches in the roadbed. When he at last arose, he was a sight to behold. One could not venture to determine the condition of his clothing, as he was covered from head to foot with the yellow flesh of the pumpkins. He sailly gazed down the pike at the remains of his pumpkins, which were strewn over the larger part of the road in a hopeless mass. He then turned towards his wagon, only to find, that it, too, had either from the joy of having been signally relieved of its heavy load or from the humiliation of having been deserted by its yellow crew, collapsed into a dead faint, never to rise again. The horse, Nebuchadnezzar, was calmly contemplating the scene, as if all was in a day ' s work. By this time Blarney reached the scene of action and noticing tiie general lay of affairs, sadly shook his head and cried, I say. Cap. ' it looks as if you had run afoul a reef. Ripped the bottom clean off her. Be-gorry! didn ' t it I thought you was carrin ' too nuich sail, but you wouldn ' t take the advice of a well-meaning- mate, and therefore you preached your own funeral. Shut up! YoYi blasted Irishman, or I ' ll souse your face in the squash! yelled Jones. Ho! Ho! roared Blarney, kxjks as if you didn ' t fall short in your share. Too bad that such fine pumpkins had to be wasted, not referring to that which lay in the road. Jumping jingos, man! replied Jones, a little more civilly, Don ' t you know those were my prize pumpkins T That I did, Caj)., but as I said before, ) ' ou wouldn ' t listen to some good advice, and I reckon those hundred yellow boys will find a different port. The best thing you can do is to steer a straight course for your home dock, with the bony schooner, — pointing to Nebuchadnezzar — in tow, and scrape some of those yellow barnacles oflF your sides. So here ' s to a safe voyage! and Blarney passed on, leaving .Tones staring vacantly first at Nebuchadnezzar, then the wagon, and finally the pumpkin-be- strewn road. Wii.iiUR Gaktnek, ' 17.

Vhy, she hadn ' t answered the letter from him that she got over two weeks ago! So it looked as though she ' d have to stay at home or else go with Crip, and she hated him. She thought and thought of some way that she could let Zooks know her wishes — accidentally, of course — liut in all her plans it was so painfully evident that she was — well, just plain fishing for a bid, that she couldn t carry out any of them. At last, baffled by the utter futility of the matter, she turned with a sigh and settled down to write her EiUglisli theme. The sul)jects were easy, she thought, as she idly glanced down the list. Suddenly she noticed the title, The Misdirected Let- ter. Well, why not He ' d never suspect her little plan, and she ' d get to go to the Prom. With a (juick gesture she swept the loose jjapers from her desk and selecting a fresh shee, she began her letter. She was going to write to Diana, her cinnn, about the Prom, and then send the letter to Zooks. She began her letter with an inane remark about the weather, and there she was stranded. How should slie introduce the subjects It was certainly harder than she had thought. At last with a sigh of desperation she began to Mrite; feverishly at times and then hesitantly as she pu zled over some obstinate phrase. After about three-quarters of an lu)ur she paused, shook her numb fingers, and after a hasty read- ing slipped the letter into an envelo})e and addressed it. It seemed entirely satis- fatory and she smiled mischievously as she put on the stamp. The next day Zooks Dane, cruelly bajjtized, lontague Abercrombie, was sitting at the piano in the Beta Frat House idly j laying ragtime with all the aban- don of a Senior, when the mail man blew his wliistle and shot the mail tlu ' u the slot in the door. Oh — h, Zookie, my love. Iiaste and examine the mail and see if 1 am among those present, yelled Binks, from the head of the stairs. Binks always was the last one dressed and down stairs, and this morning was no exception. Don ' t get excited, my boy, drawled Zooks, you ' d have brain fever every lime our friend, Cupid, blew his whistle, if you had any brains. And he slowly unwound his long legs from around the piano stool and rose to sort the mail. INIy darling chee-ild, retorted Binks, somewhat incoherently through the large Turkish towel he was using — if it took one ounce of dynamite to blow out the brains of a lunatic asylum, the sight of a powder puflp would ruin your fatal beauty forever. No reply from Zooks who was sorting the mail somewhat feverishly as he had. so far, received no letter. Two for Angel from his fond parents; one for Dill from his girl cousin, the beloved; one, as usual, from Hanks — my how that girl does waste ink! Oh, Binks you ' re here O. K. he called. 70 im: sK:ocrppc o s Einks slid down the banisters, shoes in hand, grabbed tlie letter from Zooks ' hand and disappeared into the so-called library to read it. Binks always went Lo tlie library to read his letters because, he explained, the atmophere was so nplii ' ting ' . ' li. ' With a sigii of relief Zooks picked his letter from the ])iic. and drop- ping the rest on the table, sank into his pet chair to open it. Dearest Diane, he read. What t — and a puzzled frown crossed his fore- iiead. It was Betty ' s writing and — yes, it was signed by Betty. She must have misdirected the letter. If so — Diane had Jii.s letter. Well, he wouldn ' t read it. ' cause he wouldn ' t want Diane to read his. lie started to refold it. xVs he did so, one of the papers fluttered loose and floated airily to the floor. He stooped to pick it up and saw staring at him from the bottom of the page the woi ' ds, I do wish Zooks would — and he stooped to snatch it from the floor. Then he remembered, The Dearest Diane, and stopped. Still if Betty wished thatZooks would anything, that was precisely what Zooks wished also above anything else. But he would uot read that letter and with a resoluteness of action he ])laced the letter in the envelope, resealed and re-directed it. Oh, chu-n it all! Why shouldn ' t he And out what she wanted: ' He reached for the letter for the fiftieth time that morning, only to withdraw his hand at the memory of that Dearest Diane. At last maddened beyond further endurance, he (lrop])ed the letter into the mail box and ent to his room to write to Betty. Dear little Betty, always ready for a good time and always so companionable. And as he idly ta])ped his pen against the ink-well, a foolishly tender little smile curved his lips. The thought of Betty ah ays caused that same little smile. Brought suddenly back to the consciousness by the realization that he was dripping ink all over himself and the paper, he reached for a clean sheet. As he did so, he noticed on his engagement calendar, June 11th — Prom. Of course! he ' d almost forgotten. AVonder if Betty had a bid Guess he ' d ask her, and he wrote making his recjuest; at the same time forgetting to mention the misdirected letter. Four days later he recei ' e(l hei- acceptance, but was some- what puzzled by the formality of the note. The night of the Prom as they were slowly walking home, Betty tucked her arm thru his and summoning up all her courage said, Zooks, I ' ve a fessuption ' to make to you. Go ahead, he said as he smiled down at her. It ' s — it ' s awfullv hard. she faltered, and then with a sudden Inu ' st of courage, I misdirected that letter on purpose because I wanted to go with you. She was blushing vividly and vaguely wondering at her own audacity. Whv — what letter? asked Zooks stupidly. ' j ' ± SJECOCTPPC Q-L ' 5 The one to Diane. Don ' t you remember f ' surprised by this seeming lapse of memory. I never read that letter, said Zooks, I just saw this much, ' I do wish Zooks would ' — But I didn ' t read any more. Honestly. So this was what you wished Zooks M ' ould. Vell, I certainly am glad you got your wish. Oh, stop please, she sobbed, the tension and strain of the confession breaking at last. What a horrid silly person you must think I am — Oh, I should hate me if I were you, and she tried to draw her arm away. I surely don ' t, Betty. Please don ' t talk that way and feel so badly, he said tenderly. Sheltered by a friendly old oak tree Zooks very softly, and successfully induced her to think as he did.

Coach Hindelang had plenty of material from which he picked a team, that the M. H. S. students could be proud of, for they successfully represented the school along this line of athletic activities. Using Captain Eussert, Studley. Seifert, and Kohler of last year ' s team as the main stays, and l ranstrator, Lovell, jNIcKnight, Eurnett and Pelton from this year ' s squad, the team was one that worked for the honor of the school throughout the season and never was out of the race from the time it went into a game until the last minute of jjlaying.

Coaches Hindelaug and Horton have picked a S(]uad from which a fast hard hitting team should be developed. With Captain Seifert at short this position vill not need any further protec- tion. Bussert holding down first, Easterday the keystone and JNIcKnight at third, the bases are well taken care of. This gives the team a fast, accurate infield that has had experience on teams of previous seasons. With Linsenmier in the pitcher ' s box and Berberick and Sawyer on the receiv- ing staff the battery is one that should prove successful against all opponents. I eft field contains Kohler of last year ' s team, center Crooks and right field Roijer, this combination will give the team as strong an outfield as could be desired. Byrkit, Branstrator and Van Winkle are the utility men that will prove effi- cient at all times. so ' j ' ± SJECOCTPPC 9 S SI ' ' ± SJECOCTPPC Q-L ' T Track 1914-1915 HE Track team is certain to be a success this spring for all of last year ' s men are back and many other promising candidates are also Avorking for places on the squad. Coach Davis is doing his utmost to develop a winning team and the prospects could not be better, for, Captain Stebbins, Emerson, Snyder, Graham and JNlumby are all showing the same kind of track spirit that has helped them to win in the events of previous seasons. The track schedule is well filled out for the spring meets and it is the hope of the students that the team will be al)le to win many honors for tlie ]M. H. S. in this line of athletics.

S7 J ' ± SEZOCTpPc d Od.5 ' The Villiage Jitney Bus Under the shining street Hght, The village jitne_v stands, Instead of using rubber tii ' es, They ' ve put on iron bands. And for the headlights now they have Two big tomato cans. ' to The j aint is cracked and scarred and old, The wind-shield broke in twain. The holes in the top are very large And let in the spring rain. But the jitney runs and makes the dough Though it has an awful name. Week in, week out, from morn till night The jitney bus doth run. Although the wheels are nearly gone. That car can sure go some. Like Oldfield in a Blitzen Benz You can hear his motor hum. The bus still runs on Sunday, To the ball ground it must go, With engine running freely And oil running low. He soon must stop, his brow he ' ll mop Vhen the gas gives out also. The jitney bus as you might guess Is sure to be a Ford, The car that every one can have JNIuch cheaper than his board. If a jitney bus like this you run JNIuch money can you hoard.
