Mary is one of the Senior's valuable assets, as she is a good student and a very successful candy seller. We all think that Mary should take up the study of horticulture because she is very suc- cessful in caring for Briers. FRED BRIER- Fritz i'An athlete bold, an athlete bold, An athlete bold was he! He won a little maiderfs heart And would not set it free. Fritz has been a good pal ever since he started to acquire knowledge from A. H. S. and even before, according to some statistics. Fritz has been a basket ball player from start to finish and his name has been hurled far and near in the basket ball world for his ability as a sharp shooter. ILETA PREBLE- Imp Did she set that li'l tongue going and then, go off and forget about it? t'Imp is jolly and full of fun even though she does talk a lot in Senior Assembly. Ileta is all tangled up in the border for she seems quite interested in a little place called State-line. GLADYS LIPPOLD- Gladys Just as high as a man's heart! Gladys is one of us in body but we are afraid as to spirit, well it seems to be mostly in Veedersburg. But then under the circumstances we've decided it is all right, Gladys. Page 14 STANLEY ZIMMERMAN- Stan Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are. Stan is our K. O. basket ball player, being tall and slender. Contrary to ex- pectation he admires the characteristic in others and Amaz'd us all by driving an Overland and praising a Mitchell ELIZABETH COLLINSa Liz Chairman of Senior Page Committee Some Lizzies are made of tin, we're told Our Lizzie's not 'brassy'-she's solid gold! Liz is quite a theme writer and does some wholesale work along that line. She sells candy by the box and talk by the yard. Those devastating black eyes will mow 'em down by the hundreds. We know, for some of us have been mowed. LEONARD JOHNSON- Leonard Senior Artist An' looky here fellers, I ain't no lady-killer. Through Leonard's untiring efforts, the C.. A. 8: S,, is going to be really put on the track. Besides a sore, sometimes he has on the tip of his tongue the rates for livestock flappers, Fords, and moonshin- ers. Leonard denies any relation to Hi- ram, but we still wonder. DOROTHY RIGGS- Dot Chairman of Literary Committee Here I and my piano sit: Here is my throne, kid Kings come bow to it. Dot is the 'tQueen of the Ivories and there is no danger of her title being dis- puted, is there? You tell 'em no! Also Dotty has been heard to say she is truly in favor of more sleep and less school. Eh, Dotty? CRIIMSON Page 15 l CRHMSCODN l l 1 1 VOYLE RHODE- Voile Chairman of Calendar Committee There's my hand, with my heart in it. Voyle is our little girl and tho' she graduated at the middle of the year she likes us so well she has come back for the last semester to help us play basket ball. Her giggles sound like a frog or- chestra playing jazz. ROBERT LAWRENCE- Bob Even children follow'd with endearing wile, And plucked his gown to share the good man's smile. Bob is the master composer of the future. However, while he's still a Sen- ior he keeps us laughing for he's the wit and humor of our Senior Class. DELMAS HILLYER- Delmas Say, I'm noisy if, you knew itg My quietness you can't con- strue it. Dell's Buick is a great favor among the girls. He was shown before the foot- lights as a bright dramatic star and oh friends, did you lamp what a handsome Spaniard he made. Too bad he was born in Warren County instead of Sunny Spain so 'cause he can't doll up that way every day. NELLIE I. BRUTUS- Nell And you too, Brutus? Nell adores Solid Geometry and pre- fers her friends to be of similar build. For reference see Vinson. She has a bad Ford which can generally be caught heading for Bingy . Nell is a peace- ful sort and we drink the top of the goblet to her. Pmie 16 JOHN FARTHING- John VVhy don't you speak for yourself, John? John's manners do not proclaim him exactly religious but it is certified that he worships at the shrine of a Swede. Next he loves his radio and his usual statement is- I tuned in on Hoboken but got Oshkosh . 'S Funny. MARY E. LYONS- Mary 'Liz Chairman of Snap Committee I'll be with you in the squeezing of a lemon. Mary 'Liz is one of our B. B. girls and is a good sport in all things. She is one of those who has completed her High School career in three and one- half years. And we're all proud of her too. She is a whole half inch taller than Voyle, our baby-grand, 4 GEORGE HARRIS- George Chairman of Joke Committee A little learning is a danger- ous thing. George is famous for his old fash- ioned ideas but he likes boyish bobs on ladies. George's honesty is undisputed but then we ask you why he goes to Rob Roy? It is sad but true that George, quituated before graduating. NAOMI CAMPBELL- Naz When joy and duty clash Let duty go to-smash! Naz is taking quite an interest in the military schools here of late. She is looking forward to the graduation of a Danfdyl Young man from one- of them. She sometimes makes English teachers shed tears of sympathy over the state of her health. Aren't her clothes pretty, boys? CRIIIMISON -- Paie 17 1- CRIIMSON EVALYN CAM PBELL- EVa1yn A creature not too bright and good, For human nature's daily food. Although Evalyn has no hump and declares it is a sin to smoke, we won- der why she's insulted upon having a news item reading-Young-Campbell. Fact 'of the matter is we were not aware that they raised them animals here. EMMA CHRISTINE HOSTE- Emma Happy am I: from care I'm free, Why aren't they'all contented like me? Chewing gum comes in sticks, it sticks, Emma sticks to it and Miss Waldrip uses a stick. We like to watch Emmafs blond bob evolute from curly to straight and back to curly again. ROBERT SCRIBNER- Bob He is a fool who thinks by force or skill, To turn the current of a wo- man's will. Sad to tell, our Bob is radio mad and his requirements for a wife are that she talk intelligently on the subject, and try to look intelligent. Girls, bone on radio, 'cause someone will lose a good man if Bob remains single. MYTRA SHOAF- Myrta Men of few words are the best men. Q Myrta doesn't talk much but she is a loyal Senior and we couldn't do without her. Myrta says she likes tdates' but whether it is the kind you eat or other- wise we are in the dark. Which is it? Golly, Myrta, put us wise. Page 18 RICHARD ZEIGLER- Dick Business Manager Come in the evening, or come in the morning, Come when you're looked for, not without warning. Dick took his Willys-Knight to see a Campbell upon Dan's night and ap- ropos of nothing, caught a chill and crawled into the ice box to cool the but- ter. He recuperated wonderfully and made us a peppy business manager. FRANCIS TINSMAN- Tinnie Lord! I wonder what fool first invented kissing. Tinnie is one of the class defects and when she forgot to bring an excuse for being tardy Miss Waldrip said What shall we do with her? The question is, what would we do without her? She has a very sunny disposition and the dark clouds are always known to fly away when she is around. HUBERT SHACKETON- Shack I am Sir Oracle And when I open my lips, let no dog bark. Shack is our president and looks dignified and bosses us around. How- ever we don't mind that a bit. He is also the candy-kid and without him the Seniors would surely be in a pickle. Wow! RUTH HILDEBRAND- Ruth Chairman of Art Committee 'KGin a laddie kiss a lassie need a lassie cry? Ruth has terrible high ambitious as everyone knows, and it has been our standard cross word puzzle why she prefers a Shack to a Reginald. Everyone has his own ideas but every- one agrees that Ruth was a peppy yell leader. CRIIIMSON l Page 19 1 CIRHIMISON CLARA DESUTTER- Dutch This maiden simply beats the Dutch. Clara is our little Dutch girl and talks with a cunning brogue. Although she attends A. H. S. it is whispered that she thinks LaFayette is nearer to heaven. That's all right Clara, we'll forgive you! HER SCHEL MCGOWAN- Herschel A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men No one ever thought Herschel's middle name was Noisy, but he surely does make other's deportment grades look sick. Just the same we can wager he doesn't eat duck soup with a fork. We really think he is the hush before the storm and when the tornado does break loose, hearts will fly in all directions. HELEN CONNER- Helen Chairman of Mounting Committee Alas, alack! Alas, alack! Her golden hair's still hanging down her back! Helen is one of the class's resources for answering hard questions. She dreamed one night her hair was bohbed and woke up screaming, There's something rotten in the state of Den- mark! May your life be as long as your hair, Helen, and happy too. EILEEN STEVENSON- Eileen Her eyes are stars of twilight fair. Eileen has been a very valuable asset to the Senior Class. She is a good stu- dent and what's more she is always will- ing to do her share in everything that comes up. Good all around sport. That's her! And that's she too! Pais 20 JOHN WOLF- Johnny Chairman of Athletic Committee O love, has she done this to thee? What shall, alas! become of me? :Iohnny's face naturally inspires one to poetry and he attributes his beauty to the fact that The rain makes everything beautiful. One would need a tabulating machine to keep a line on Johnny's loves but that doesn't prevent him from being a swell B. B. pitcher. IVA HANSLEY- Fuzzy Chairman of Dramatic Committee If silence is golden, sure the lady's a pauperf' Iva is a specialist. With her mind once made up, Frisco had about as much chance as a mouse with the proverbial feline. Frisco, however, looks happy and seems to enjoy the prospect of being de- voured alive. ' LORAN McMASTER- Jake Oh sleep! it is a gentle thing, Beloved from pole to pole. Jake's greatest ambition is to perfect a motorless motor boat and to catch fish by electricity, So far as we know, Jake's affections are not centered and though he is easy going we suspect he knows a live wire when he sees it. ERNESTINE VESTER- Ernestine Editor-in-Chief Should this lady start to flirt, All the high school hearts she'd hurt. Ernestine hails from the vicinity of In- dependence. She is noted for her superi- or studentship and has been a leader in the Senior Class from making this book to making S's. She insists her com- plexion won't come off with soap and water. CJRHMSON Page 21 - CRHMSON HELEN BROWN- Helen Her ways are ways of pleas- antness, and all her paths are peace. Helen is one of our few students. Just the same it is whispered that she put the fire out one day by letting the holes of the doughnuts fall out. We all have our pets but men aren't Helen's. Pipe the dimples and figure out her future. LEE ROY BALES- Hobby Advertising Manager At each step I feel my head knock out a star. Hobby is the printer's devil and an ex- North-End-Live-Wire. He takes quite an interest in printing and his greatest am- bition is to acquire a news collector and a housekeeper combined. Luck to you, Lee Roy, some girl may take you for her Hobby some spring and then for her hubby the next fall. WILMA WALTER- Wilma It is so soon I'm done for I wonder what I was begun for. Wilma knew her dope when she cast her lot in with our class and graduated in three and one-halt' years. We were glad to have her 'cause her E's and S's raise our general average. Her sweet ways make us like her immensely and we really believe she's the whole cheese and part of the rind thrown in. OPAL SMITH-- Opal Oh what a fall was there, My Countryman! Altho' Opal has red hair she isn't a Bolshevik in anything else. She doesn't care much for the navy either, but she is in favor of the Army all right. Now don't blush, Opal, please! Page 22 ISABELLE LANDON- Ding 'Tis well to be off with the old love Before you are on with the new. Annie Laurie says You can only love one at a time, but if God can love 'em all surely I can love half a dozen! These words are Ding's creed and we'd be horri- fied if it weren't that she has copped most of the good looks of '26 and we can't think of much else while looking at her. CLIFFORD KIGHT- Cliff He's not extremely tall and great But neither was Napoleon- wait! We know that Cliff is frivolous minded but he proved to be a staple husband to our Nellie in the Senior play. Cliff, you're our class Kight and we surely do expect you to ily high before you are through NELLIE POWELL- Nell How far little Nell throws her beams! So shines little Nell in a naughty world. Nellie helped to make the Senior play a success. Hurrah! for you Nellie. Her favorite saying is, Isn't he Wonderful! And we certainly hope he is, don't we Seniors? VERA LEMMING- Lemon I cannot tell what the dickens his name is. Vera is a quiet litle girl but when you want anything she is always ready. As to the foundation of her life, Jasper is considered by her to be the proper thing. CRIMSON -- Pu pie 23 1 CIRIIMSON MELVIN AUTER- Melvin There is a great sight of drawing power in a pair of blue eyes! Ever notice it? Melvin has never been examined by the class but we know at least his heart is in the right spot. He is going to In- dianapolis to see what the Capitol offers and it is our sincere wish that wooden nickles and gold bucks play a small tune on his fiddle. MADELINE WALTER- Madeline Modest, simple, coy and sweet Her lovely smile is hard to beat. Madeline always has a smile for every- one, Oh! boy what a smile! She likes school work and certainly does her part to put the Senior Class on the Honor Roll. Madeline has been a very honor- able cashier of our bank for the last two years and much to our surprise didn't skip the country with the cash. YVINSTON FREEMAN- Wink Can one desire too much of a good thing? He is a free man but he won't be long. He may be blue now but wait till he gets Brown. Boy, we didn't name you Wink for nothing. MARY OLIVE PETERSON- Mop What are you doing my pretty maid? Just looking flapperish, sir, she said. Mary Olive delighted us all by coming back to get a sheep-skin with us. Her basket ball record has put us on the map and we sure do like her snappy smile and-short skirts!

Most, of the players lived up to the rules and were out to practice every night, with tloffing and Lynch, who were doing their best to pick a regular team. This was a, very hard job to do as all ot' the boys were intent ot' beating each other's ability. With the help of t oach Foffing and assistant t'oacl1, Lynch. Attica was able to put out a very COACH F- L- COFFING strong team. They started the season right, by making two victories. The following are most of the players that came out this year and stuck through thick and thin: Fred Brier, Francis 1leSut'ter, Stanley Zimmerman, Paul Moore, For- rest Martin, Harold Gayler. Martin tieeding, lbowe lliehl, Bernard Strean, Verle Sil'02lI1, t'lift'ord Taylor and l-Irick Lindawood. These are the men that it was up to Coach Voffing and Lynch from which to pick a fast team. They picked a hunch who were very successful and who won over two-thirds of their games. The season as a whole was a success as there were large crowds out to wateh the locals tt-ounce the visitors, and the team was well followed to their out of town games. or course, the team was beaten but never so badly that they couldn't get over it. The team is losing several good regulars due to the fact that Brier, Zimmerman and Zeigler are graduating. t'offing'has produced excellent men this year to fill their shoes, which we think will be able to do. Pa ie 43 CRIMSON FRED BRIER- Fritz'l Fritz had a dead eye when it came to sinking baskets from any place on the floor, and he will be missed very much next year. RICHARD ZEIGLER- Dick Dick is another one of the graduates and al- though he was taken from the game early in the year by illness he was rapable of showing the peo- ple of Attica that he was on the floor. STANLEY ZIMMERMAN- Abie Abie or Night Hawker, the lanky center, showed his ability at basket ball in his last year. Abie was a man that usually succeeded in making a basket in a pinch. ' FORREST MARTIN- Er-k' Erk played some very good games for A. H. S. and will probably be able to locate the hoop much better next year as he was commencing to shine in our final games. MARTIN GEEDING- Marty Marty, the pride of the on-eomers, is sure to strut his stuff next year as he came out of the kinks in fine shape this year. Pais 44 FRANCIS DESUTTER- Frisco Frisco, the stalwart baekguard for A. H. S., was the main cogwheel for the team in its defense. Frisco will be very helpful next year for he was good whe11 it came to stopping the big fellows un- der the basket. HAROLD GAYLOR-t'Gaylor Gaylor, the small Hillsboro lad, was a good addi- tion to the team and made it much stronger. It is hoped he will again be seen in uniform on the floor. DOVVE DIEHL- D0we Dowe, a small sophomore, did not get much chance to show his basket-ball ability this year but he has shown people that he will shine as a future star. VERLE STREAN- Stream Strean, a tall lanky lad, did not become interest- ed in basket ball until this year and tl1e11 found to l1is surprise that he could play very well. PAUL MOORE--'tSy', Sy is one of these small fellows who are mighty. A man is lucky who gets by him dribbling. He still has two years to stop the big' boys as floor guard.

L. H., '26 Pais 46 COACH HAZEL C. JONES GIRLS BASKET BALL CRHMSUN T The Girls Basket Ball season opened with a 231119 at Boswell in which Boswell was the winner. How ever, this did 11ot damper our spirits. we won our share of the rest of the games. Miss Jones worked very hard coaching the girls and l1er efforts made this seas0n's basket ball the best ever. Red and white! Tight! Fight! Our new suits! They surely encouraged the fighting spirit of the team and helped us to win the games. Quite a few girls responded to the invitation to participate in girls basket ball this season. The following are those who played in scheduled games: Pauline Fisher, captaing Voyle Rhode, Amaza Mitchell, Mary Elizabeth Lyons, Virginia Milligan, Edythe Hayes. Alice Benson, Gwendolyn ill'0NVG, Avis NVood, Sylvia Pearlman, Doris l'ttel-back, Lucille Hirsch. Mildred I'l'Clill2lI'f and Miriam Green. The following' girls will have an opportunity to make the team next year: Mary M. Andrew. Eloise Uoffing. Gwinevere Hullihan, Helen Lyons, Ella Marie Pearlman Our iirst annual girl's basket ball tournament was held iI1 Attica, the first of its kind to be held in this part of the state. lt was veryhsuccessful and proved that girls' basket ball was advancing i11 popularity. ln this tournament Attica was defeated in the first game by Green Township.

Although we lost some very valuable material last year after they won the county track meet we think Attica will have a good chance in the meet again this year. Football was just started last year and although the boys didn't know much about football they seemed enthusiastic after having a team a11d a large crowd of fellows go out to try for the team. Football has not had much chance here as yet but it is hoped that Attica, will be well rep- resented in future years. V Tennis is another game that Attica has been slow in developing. But with the material that has shown up in the preceding years, it is prob- able that a good team can be picked from the numerous players. BASE BALL Base ball started out with a crash and a hang, nearly as soon as school began. There was not so much accomplished as far as tl1e betterment of base ball is concerned. The diamond was not in very good condition and the weather prevented Coach XYhite from showing' all the new aspir- ants as much as l1e wanted. Coach YVhite arranged a three-game series with the NVilliamsport High School base ball team of which all three were won by the locals. The Attica team did not show very good form this fall, but several new players were out to make the team and gave the regulars a hard fight to hold their positions on the squad. The line-up this fall was as follows: Edwards, pitcher: DeSutter, catcher: Martin, first base: Davis, second base: Zeigler, third base: Wolf, short stop: Zimmerman, Moore and Swift performing in the iield.

Paiie 1- CRIHMISON FOUR On an evening of a hot April day a, Hrattlely bang hack came down the road. Tl1e hack bore the following name Htlollins Tax and Liver No. 43' It was very weather beaten accounting for the missing letters. The hack contained 0116 passenger and on top the driver was desperately holding the horse back, for every tree had a sign, Speed limit -L miles per hour. After forty-four severe leaps and plunges over the holes on Nortl1 Perry street the hack came to a stop. Above the door of the building, in front of which they stopped was the number four. The passenger alighted carrying four bundles. Doc Evans as he was called was tive feet four. Ile entered his office as the clock struck four. Ile hurried desperately to get a letter written, a glance at the calendar fourth month, fourth day, eighteen eight-four. After getting the letter written he hurried desper- ately down the four blocks to the depot. Old Number four came steaming in four minutes late, but UDoc mailed his letter. Doc turned mourn- fully back. In front of t'lJoe's office were four loafers. They were there today 'ffourv tl1e same reason they were there before, Hlloc' stopped Hlltl looked soberly at the four cracks in the sidewalk i11 front of his of- fice. g It was loafer number four who spoke.

Four months later 'tlJoc gave his farewell glance at the four corners of Attica and started out. to accomplish his four ambitions. Four years later on the fourth page of the fourth issue of the Chicago Tribune, July fourth, there was the following stat.ement: Dr. Evans founds Northwestern fffoui- the betterment of hun1aI1ity. Later i11 the day a garbage wagon No. Four came dow11 the street, an article dropped from the wagon. Policeman Illllllllel' four picked it up. It was a book. The title was 'fFour Treatments for Fourneatesj' by Dr. Evans, and a paper saying good. The cop believed it, so two ambitions were accomplished. Four days later Dr. Evans came to a spot south of Chicago to where there was an Italian settlement. He carried a, sign bearing the word Evanston, which he nailed O11 a post. A passing Italian stopped and look at the sign kllltl said f'Fournua Form Fourlia. Dr. Eva-ns only remark was, t'Yes, this is a good name ffour' your town. 'tFour more reasons than fom- our narrative jumps to Colorado. where 011 every post, was Evans 'four' governor. Everybody believed it and he won by a majority of four thousand four hundred and forty-four. YVhile some friends were playing a foursome of golf with UDoc on the fourth hole, a cry of t'fore was heard. 'That always was my favorite number exclaimed Doo Clunkl The hall l1it Doc on the baek of his head. Yesh, four al- wash vosh my favorite nmnber. Yesh, ol' number four. ROBERT LAXVHENCE, '26.

'flVell, well, commented Harold, 'fand where was this phone call sent? It was se11t to Bernard Strean, the notorious thug, replied Miriam.

Mr. Andrew and Mr. Hratton consulted each other i11 a spare bed- room of Miss Naomi f'lark's boarding house. In about two hours Uaptain Andrew met Mr. liratton. They then start- ed for the cemetery and the Davis mausoleum. Five hours, in all, had passed from the beginning of the consultation to the time Faptain Andrews strolled up to Miss Miriam, and, with a smile that spread from ear to ear, said: I Mi-.

HIDXVAHD SINGER, '2T. A TRIP T0 THE SUGAR BOWL A naughty sophomore so wise His all night fast did break When to the Sugar Bowl he sneaked To buy a piece of cake. Some candy also did he eat And than he left the place: The minutes quickly passed away Back to school he must race. And slowly did he make his way! A car came speeding south Which caused the boy to utter words Such things came from his mouth. And then he stumbled on the curb And badly bruised his kneeg He lay and counted to himself And rose on count of three. He limped into that prison school But not before espied By 'Mic the dreadful cat to boys To whom they often lied. Into room ten he slowly limped And then spoke Mic aloud, l'll see you in my office, boy, When I dismiss this crowd. Dismissal came too soon for him Who had to face old Mic : Wlhy did they have such crazy rules Each punishment a lick. The boy who later left that place Was sadder, wiser, far As to the rules of A. H. S. Than he had been be-far. -Nadine Jacobson, '27. Pais Sl - CRIIMSON SOCIETY SHOCKED Early this morning our peaceful little town was rudely jolted and so- ciety' received a shock from which it will 11ot soon recover. The cause of all this trouble was the elopement of Miss Sylvia Pearlman with John Farthing. Mrs. Pearlman upo11 entering her daughtei-'s room this A. M. found a, 11ote left there by Miss ,l'earlman. In her note she explains her action, saying that she craved a gay life Hlltl so feared that she would be unhappy with Mr. Louis Horst, to whom she was engaged, and would perhaps ruin both their lives. She said that Mr. Fai-thing the sheik of her Hlfl'OIVilil had more of a kindred spirit with her own. Miss Sylvia ends by saying that Mr. Farthing had promised to teach her some 11ew steps of the 'fCharleston on the condition that sl1e would marry him. The temptation was greater than she could withstand. Mr. and Mrs. Pearlman are greatly grieved by their daug'hter's action, but flllllk that she will soon tire of her life and return home. Mr. Louis Horst and Miss Pearlman were to have llftilll married next IVednesday, February 29th and everything was in readiness for the cere- mony. Mr. Iiorst, when told of Miss l'erlman's elopement collapsed and is now suffering witl1 a nervous breakdown and heart trouble. It is ex- pected that- he will recover in a few days as his condition is not serious. CAMPBELL-YOUNG NUPTIALS A pretty wedding took place at S o'clcok last evening, when Miss Naomi Campbell, daughter of Mr. a11d Mrs. F. XV. Campbell of this city became the bride of Mr. llaniel Young. also of this city. The ceremony was at the City Town llall. The room was beautifully decorated with baskets of dandelions and streamers of twisted vary-colored paper. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Charles Crigler before an impro- vised altar of cornstalks. The Rev. lfrigler was formerly a missionary in Canada, where he performed the unusual services as a taster of Scotch i11 one of the prominent distilleries of that country. Leroy Hales, The Hoy-With-The-Raiiid-Fire-Fingers, at the piano and Joe Marlatt, The Master Violinist, played some appropriate Hbridal airs before the ceremony. They were: 'fYes Sir That's My Baby, 'tMe and My Roy Friend and others. They also very effectively played Chopins Funeral March for the entrance of the bridal party. The bride was attended by Mrs. Ray Armstrong, formerly Opal Smith a schoolmate of Miss Campbell. The best man was Mr. John VVolf. The bride was gowned in white georgette Zlllll tulle, combined rose- point lace, which formed the bertha and side draperies 011 the skirt. Iler train was of veiling lace curtain. She carried a shower bouquet of Ua- nadian Sun Flowers. A reception was held and a. Allard Time dinner was served to fifty guests at iifty cents a plate. Mr. and Mrs. Young left immediately for a trip to the Fiji Islands where Mrs. Young intends to study the new dance craze of the natives, better liIl0W1l as the ftl'harleston. On their return they hope to make their home i11 Zion City, Illinois.

Dearest Mary Isabelle, I know you are angry at me and I'm going to jump in the river or take solid geometry or something, if you don't listen to me. Little Hame of my life, it was impossible for me to call for you yesterday afternoon. I went Iishing in the n1or11ing and lished for a short time when I caught a cat-fish. I lished a little longer and caught a dog-fish. Soon I heard a dreadful 11oise. The dog-iish had chased the cat-iish up a tall tree and I had to fish all afternoon until l caught a saw-fish, so I could cut CIONVII the tree and get my cat-fish. It is all 1-ight now.

Pais lil 1 CRIIMSON WHERE THERE'S A NVILL THERE,S A WAY Johnny Tuberculosis tloated lazily around i11 the stale atmosphere of a large department store where he had been left by a stoopeshouldered individual. Johnny was no ordinary germ, his reputation for determin- ation and above all success being only too well know11. Now he was hunting for a victim, not some poor fellow with one foot already i11 the grave but a strong healthy person preferably feminine. ,Although many people entered the store none suited l1in1 until a pretty and decidedly charming girl about sixteen years of age stepped in to buy a pair of curling irons. f'Not too old, not too young, not too tough, not to tender, but just right, summed up the germ. He then floated closer summoning his devoted compa11io11s meanwhile illltl tried one of his most simple tricks. He came so close to her beam- ing countenance that when she drew a breath full of air Johnny and his companions were included. They traveled swiftly down a dark passage and Johnny smiled happily. The next instant the smiling germ struck a snag. HDarn those villi, he exclaimed. The next instant he and his companions were thrown out violently into a white tilmy handkerchief. Johnny Tuberculosis forgetting that one must not curse in the pres- ence of a lady used all the strong forceful language at his command as he disengaged himself from the clinging particles of rouge and powder. Some of his companions then took an oath that they would tight Mary, Johnny's intended vietim, until they conquered or died in the at- tempt. Upon reaching the girl's home the germs loafed around until slipper time, occasionally sallying forth to try the former trick, but Mary always sneezed in the nick of time. For a half an hour afterward these unlucky tuberculosis germs XV8l1l' through the process of escaping particles of rouge and powder. Even tl1e11 they were not allowed to join their more lucky comrades unless they bathed in the wash-basin to rid themselves of the disagreeable perfumed odor. Hlioys, supper is our chance, Johnny announced. Hey, you, Tom, Dick and Harry, get in those pork chops. You, turning to the others, get into the soup. He, himself hovered near the kitchen to observe the success of his plans. First, to l1is intense disappointment, although it was perfectly natural, Mary cooked the pork chops a11d Johnny watched his compan- ions kicking in agony until all were killed. The soup was boiled and those germs met with the same fate. Pade 62 CRHMSUN As a last resort, he sent some of his sadly diminishing supply of help- ers to cling to the clean shining plates, but Mary did an unusual thing for a girl, she scalded the china-ware before using it. Another plan gone to the blazesf' stormed the fll0l'0llgIllly infuriated Johnny. After a few minutes, he almost cried for joy when Mary accidentally cut her finger with the carving knife and he se11t half of his remaining helpers to get into the wound. All went well until Mary stepped to a nearby cabinet and painted the wound with iodine. Johnny was 11ow tremely discouraged and had evidently met his XVaterloo but his consci- ence would 11ot let him give up. After Mary XV9Ill' to bed, he wandered up and down the bedroom brood- ing over his troubles and he finally cast himself weeping upon a soft grey substance to rest his weary body. The11 he made the amazing dis- covery that he was stuck. His faithful comrades attempted to rescue him but became stuck also. The gum, for Mary before retiring had stuck it on the bedpost, grad- ually hardened and pinched -lohnny's feet. It was a long night for the suffering germs, but tinally the su11 cast bright. rays into the room. Johnny knew that his tfgoose was cooked if the beams touched him but just before the rays touched him, Mary rose and seizing her precious gum began chewing vigorously. The germs were freed H1141 as they set to work Johnny slapped 0116 011 the back affec- tionately and exclaimed: 'tWHl'lRl'1 TIIl'IRl'1'S A XVILL THERITS A NVAY. YVAY N li' BRATTOX, '2S. THE JUNIOR STAR The Junior class is far more wise Than any class I knowg They study far into the night Their grades are seldom low. But wiser than the class itself And fatter than the rest, A boy named Burst still leads them all As being greatest pest. He seems too tiredg he walks so slow He sleeps in school they sayg And some late hour if you will look He's in the Palm Cafe.

Penis 63 CRIMSON A THRILL It was a very wild-eyed lad And he stoppeth me by chance His nose was red, his eyes were blue He looked as in a trance. It was a hot, hot day in June, I thought I had my work, I sat. and gazed and gazed and sat As idle as a Turk. I saw the flies go round and round, And saw them bite and bite, And when a ily did light on me ' I caught and held him tight. The flies were here, the flies were there, The flies were all around, They buzzed' a11d growled and hit and howled Like noises in a sound. I knew the girls were watching me And thought I was a sheik I thought: that I would do 3 stunt lhlltl make the girls all shriek. I caught a fly and held him tight I put him in my mouth The girls all saw and shut their eyes And one girl gave a shout. I knew not why the girl did shout But I was soon to know. I felt something that stung and bit And pulled me like a tow. I put my finger i11 my mouth To see what hurted Ine- In. place of the fly that I had caught I found a bumble-bee. -Edward Singer COUNTY DISCUSSION In the County Discussion on the night of April 5th, at Hillsboro, Virgil Johnson represented the Attica High School.

But Wlth all fhflf, We I . noticed that we were able, all of us, to get through and graduate with our de- Qfff' gree. That was because we were so all- 0. S. Clark tired smart, we knew it, and we are here now to tell you about it. I have had three graduates from the Attica High school in my family, two sons and 0116 daughter, and I have heard them say repeatedly that the old fossils of '74 and '75 tried to be tfcut ups but could not even dance the tango or Charleston like they could, or stay up nights, smoke the 'tfagsv or raise Hail Columbia for fun. But, OH LORD, they say we old tellers were just too slow for any use, but were we? I I'9IHQlllb61' that in the chapel of the old building on floor three, that our class in order to be in the quiet, were permitted to go to that hall to practice our graduation speeches tnot theinesj, and, some way there happened to be a piano handy, and as I could Hclaw the ivories a little, and as my hands would not play anything but dance music, some way or other the whole class got to dancing. Every day for weeks speech practicing was shunted aside and the terpsichorean joy continued to go on. Did we fail in the speech making' on the fatal night? l should say not. Pnfe '78 CIRIIIMISCODN Why? Because we were again so all-tired smart and quick that it took no practice to orate a little H1141 beat these young ducks that keep spring- ing up since 'T5. My subject on Thursday night, June 1875, was 'fThe Mountains are lVearing Away , and 1 was doing my best. As I had a promise of a gold watch, Elgin make, bought from the elder Jim Scribner, if I got through without breaking down, so I went at it like I was killin' rats. Another thing that made me hurry was the fact, that I had heard that Rox Martin and Reid Zeigler had a wheelbarrow full of cabbage, beets and stale vegetables to throw at me when I came down to play a number on the piano-I wanted to kill 'em dead with my speech so they couldn't throw. I wonder if the reader can realize what a stupendous subject I had for debate, The Mountains are Wearing Away . Now I did not say how, by hydraulics, by abrasion or by wash outs, but I sure just naturally whittled them old mountains down by the time tl1e last of the audience left, be- cause no one was in the hall to see any mountains in the real or imaginaf tive. There was not one left but me and the piano. I might say that sports too were our hobby. NVeren't we the t'rookies that started the championship base ball team of this town, and which in 'Tti-'77 and '78 licked every ball team, near a11d far, and we always got our names in tl1e paper. Not many teams had the temerity to tackle us. Among the opposing teams was the Logansport Club. They had salaried n1e11 and were i11 a big league. 'We sent for them just once. The game was called on the grounds where my house stands, 011 Monroe street- third base was i11 the lniddle of my lot, but since 1884, when I built my house, I've bee11 unable to play third base. My regular position was sec- ond base. Center Held was a pond where Hob Milligan now lives. lVe had for players, the mighty llave Porter, Short Stop illltl Captain, Henry Nixon, Catcher, without gloves or mask, John Harvey, an under- hand Pitcher, Henry Mcllermond, First Base, myself, Second liaseg illltl Fielders Cash NVhittier, Charley Shideler and Banjo Saterthwaite. At about this particular ball playing period there was considerable discus- sion about the science of throwing a curved ball to a batsman. Professors of Mathematics figured out by logarithms that it could not be done. The pitcher of the Logansport, team demonstrated that it could be done. Our mighty Captain, a 300 batter, was iirst at the bat. The Ifmpire called to the batter whether he wanted a high or low ball, as was the cus- tom then. The lofty Captain called for high ball , that was usually what he took anyway. Three times Lew Landon, the Vmpire called him Out. Every time he would strike at the measly thing he turned to the I'mpire and inquired what the lb--was that any way. lt was the first curved pitching that we ever ran into and we sneaked home badly licked.

In the General History class, oral tests were required at the close of each chapter, each student being assigned a topic. III an oral test 011 the Ilistory of Home II. C. one of the st11de11ts was as- signed the topic Julius Caesar. The student was giving, as she thought, a brilliant account of Caesars life when suddenly the silenee was wakeued by a sho11t of prolonged laughter. The teacher, utterly dumbfounded sternly said to the culprit, 'tEddie what does this mean? Eddie still choking with la11ghter said ttdid N011 hear what she said?

MRS. R. LICVOR, 'Si Everyone i11 high school during the entire four years I attended was absolutely perfect.

This: is the IlIlV8I'IIlSll9tI truthgreallyl 'Hut QVPII if it hadn't been, holding the position I do, I wo11ld have said so anyway. However in the late 'R0's a little aunt of mine, who attended Attica High School on the top tioor of the old building was always getting into mischief. The school at that time boasted tl1e strictest s11periutendent, Northern Indiana has ever known. llis anger was worse than .lupiter's. My aunt crossed the small assembly room one day bent on mischief and crawled under the big square piano to get something back of it in the cor- Pllie 80 CRIIMSON l ner. Just as she was under the piano, the superintendent missed her and thundered: lVhere's Miss Josie? Nobody answered and Josie was so scared she just stayed under the piano. Another time she had stayed after school. The strictest order was pre- served in the halls even after school. It was five-thirty and my aunt thought she was safe. She slid Il0Wll the bannister just to work off her excess spirits. Two strong hands caught her at the bottom. She had slid right into the arms of the superintendent!!! NAYNE REED, '04, REMINISCENCE The graduating class of 1900 was the most patriotic of any that ever received diplomas from the Attica High School. To prove it-some mem- bers could quote as freely from the Constitution of the Ifnited States as from the Bible, e. in the sociology class the professor one day asked why slavery is wrong. A Senior girl piped out, tfllecause the Bible says, 'All men are created free and equal' . INEZ HATTON, '00, In our English ll. class we were asked to memorize a part of Mark An- tony's speech from Shakespeares Julius Caesar. YVe all studied faithfully on those famous lines, and when one of the girls, in the class, was called upon to recite, she arose with a feeling of assurance that she knew them well. And she did know them well, uI1til she came to the line, XVill you be patient, will you stay awhile? And there her memory failed her. In a vain effort to recall the following lines, she kept repeating, Will you stay awhile? VVill you be patient, will you stay a while? oblivi- ous of those about l1er. Until, suddenly, she was aroused from her state of oblivion, by peals of laughter from the class, and the gentle voice of Miss Kennison, the teach- er, saying, Yes,-, we're being very patient, and will stay awhile, too.
