Page Eighteen Qtbe Zlrsznal Clllannun Household Dummy Invented San Francisco, Cal. June 7: Paul Hodges, the noted scientist, has recently completed an invention ofa household dummy. The dummy is run by electricity and will do all kinds of housework, thereby taking a great load from the shoulders of the weary house-husband. Mr. Hodges can testify to the Dumrny's efliciency since he has thoroughly tested it out in his own home. 00000 Relief For Mars According to a wire received by Donald Rose, president of the Relief Club, Dr. Esther Luebking of the American Committee for Mars Famine Fund will be in this city to- morrow to confer with Ex-Senators Josephine Day and Louise Shallenberger who are planning to go to Mars to aid in the relief work. Mr. Rose has planned to hold a mass meeting for interested citizens in the large amphitheatre on the Technical campus. 00000 Drug Store Robbcd Loss Estimated at 3400 An early morning robbery in the G. and J. Callahan Pharmacy was reported to detec- tives Jack Jones and Herman Lieber by George Callahan, manager of the store. Entrance was gained thru an adjoining law office which belongs to Dan Alig. 00000 Wins Medal Russell Bray, a chicken fancier, residing north of the city, was today displaying a new medal won at the United States Fancieris Association. He deals entirely with the new brown Plymouth Rocks and has a model chicken farm. He takes great pride in the place, and was overheard to say, The reason I don't marry is that I could not bear to see a woman messin' with my chickens. 00000 Scores Attitude Toward Plays There is too much discussion concerning the psychology of the Shakesperean plays, according to Gerrit Bates, the Shakesperean star, who with Hal Griggs, was honor guest at a luncheon given yesterday by Hughes Up- degraph, president of the Indianapolis Drama League, at the New Central Hotel. Shake- spere wrote the plays to be acted and to give entertainment, exactly as does Anna C. Gard- ner, our modern playwright, said Mr. Bates. Wins Fame Karl Fischer, with the help of his competent business manager, Paul Sheldon, has won fame as a cartoonist, and is deluged with requests to lecture and entertain. He is the creator of the popular Archie Cbaldb James, the original of which is James Tipton. This humorous character resembles, in many respects, the Roger Bean of Chic Jackson, with whom the readers of the Indianapolis Star were familiar some years ago. 00000 A Second Riley Kokomo, Ind. June 7: We have often wondered who would succeed our beloved Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb Riley, in immortalizing the dear .familiar home scenes. Some here believe his successor to be Hazel Meier who first appeared in this light as a senior in high school. The Neal Carter Publishing Company has recently published a volume of Miss Meier's verse. Every true Hoosier will delight in reading these poems, especially those which sing of the beauty of the Tech campus and of the pioneer days of the great school. 00000 Dentist Injured Dr. hflyron Hopper, known thruout the central states as a dentist, was slightly in- jured yesterday while pulling the teeth of a horse. Dr. Hopper told Miss Marjory Burton, representative of the News, that he had un- derestimated the quantity of cocaine necessary to use on a horse. 00000 Hoosier Actor Dick IfVatson is playing to packed houses in Europe. As a young man, he started in the lumber business but the lure of the footlights was too much for him. He first traveled with Barnum and Baileyis Circus where he rapidly rose to dizzy heights. For some seasons he played with Fred Stone. He realized that comedy was his line and developed this until now he is called the funniest man on earth. 00000 Appointed Secretary cf Peace Washington, D. C. June 7: Under the new administration, Miss Sabra Lewis has been appointed Secretary of Peace. Since the women have gained control of affairs in Washington the Department of Peace has been established to take the place of the former Department of War.

Page Twenty The Qrsenal Gannon iiaisturp In September, 1917, the members of this graduating class entered the gates of Arsenal Technical High School, and trod, for the first time, its paths which led us thru the beautiful campus to the brand new Annex where we reported for duty. We immediately felt the military atmosp- here that has always, since the days of the old Government Arsenal, lingered about our school, and which had been intensified that year by echoes of the war across the sea. We early caught the Tech spirit of co-operation and felt that we were doing our bit in the Great War when the various roll rooms adopted and supported four French orphans. We also held exciting campaigns and races to sell War Saving Stamps. The most important event of the year was the dedication of the Service Flag which at that time had thirty stars. The winter swiftly passed and with the coming of spring all the beauties of the campus were revealed. Our love for Technical and our loyalty to it increased each day. With the Spring term came the first clean-up day, forty- five minutes of snakes, hysterics, and hard laborC?D. The next event was the establish- ment of Arbor Day by the Senior Class, a custom that has continued thru the following years. Each senior invited a freshman as his guest. Two members of our class attended, Margaret Markey and Martin lVlcCracken. The patriotic spirit, aroused by the War, demonstrated itself at Technical when, on April 16, 1918,the Arsenal Reserves were formed May 2, 1918. Superme Day, the annivers- ary of the day when the Supreme Court de- cided to make Technical a permanent school, was celebrated with dances, a pageant, and drills. Those members of our class who partici- pated in the first Supreme Day celebration were Alice Haville, Helen Wiebke, Lois Booth, Laura Leedle, June Hefner, Margaret Brock- man, Howard Laughner, Margaret Markey, Julia Becherer, Katherine Hurlbert, Frances Leiter, Frances Brown, Dorothy Martin, and Helen Elrod. After what seemed a brief vacation, we again gathered at Technical. Great enthusiasm among the boys was displayed when Captain Hardin formed the High School Cadets. All the boys who were at Tech during the fall semester of 1918 were members of this organi- zation. The spring semester of 1919 was crowded with events. First, our band stepped into prominence when it led the parade in honor of Rear Admiral Sims and Secretary of the Treas- ury, Carter Glass. The Welcome Home, an open house day for alumni, parents, and friends was well attended. Then, after a postpone- ment due to inclement weather, the second Supreme Day was celebrated. The following members of the class participated in that event, Lester Koelling, Margaret Van Ness, Julia Becherer, Margaret Markey, Howard Laughner, Margaret Brockman, June Hefner, Laura Leedle, Lois Booth, Alice Haville, Helen Wiebke, Anna Conway, Louise Padou, Mar- jorie Oakes, Marjorie Burton, James Bradford, Ethel Schwegman, and Sherman Jones. During the summer vacation some of the boys of the class attended the first sum- mer camp at Camp Custer, Michigan. John Moore, George Scott, Hughes Updegraff, Donald Steeg, and Howard Foltz of our class reported a successful summer camp. Upon our return in September, we found that the Government had accepted our Cadet Corps as a R. O. T. C. unit. All those who had pre- vious military training were given a chance to become oHicers. One of the interesting events of this term was the Auditorium at Tomlin- son Hall. Our school had become so large that it was impossible to hold such a meeting at Technical. Members of our class, prominent in that celebration, were Raymond Beard, Richard Call, Dee Pell, Roy Hert, Yale Ray- mond, Arnold Schultz, George Scott, Harold Mabee, John Moore, Katherine Gould, Hughes Updegrafl, and Margaret lvfarkey. During the spring term of 1920 we leaped into state-wide prominence by Winning first place in baseball, sectional basketball honors, first place in inter-high golf tourney, and by carrying ofi the banner given by the Rotary club for the highest per cent in the Music Memory Contest. On that basketball team was one of our class members, Hal Griggs. When June came, with its roses and fine weather the first step toward Greater Tech was started, the laying of the cornerstone of the new build- ing. Before that ceremony the R. O. T. C. gave a parade. As a final triumph for so succesS- ful a semester, the pageant, showing the history of the school from the time of the Indians, was presented by the students of Technical. Our class was well represented by Charles Noble, Richard Call, George Smith, Helen Wiebke, Arnold Schultz, Bruce Sillery, Martin McCracken, Richard Smith, Hazel .Meier, August Aldag, George Callahan, Dorothea Reisner, Roy Hert, Howard White, Lois Booth, Tom Omelvena, Harold Mabee, Karl Fischer,
