Page Twenty-One ;a«§ SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY What was that little speck flying up towards me. Ah yes, an aeroplane! Could it by any chance be from earth? Tho I had been living happily up with the man in the moon for twenty years, now I was anxious to know what was going on down on earth. I hastened up to the plane and noticed the driver coming towards me. How natural she looked. Why ' Hen ' Kuhlman, what are 3 ou doing here? It was some lime that she didn ' t re ognize me, for I must confess that twenty years had had its etfects. Why ' Trix ' Boland, what are you doing her?, yourself? Oh, that is a long story; fir.:t let me hear about yourself. Well, you see, its like this: I ' ve just taken up flying, my publii ity manager advise! it, so I ' m going in for it big and brought this party up on a little business trip to the moon. Ah, you are an Actress? Oh yes, I have taken Theda Bara ' s place in the movies and am doing very well; yo i know my old accomplishments! We run down to the ' plane, and who should be there but a party of my old friends. There was Russell Hathaway with that preoccupied stare of a genius, and Bob Sheets — but wasn ' t he a dude and important, too; and we could hardly recognize Johnny Slater — he was at least six feet tall. There was Peely Hoodelmier with the soulful eyes, and Donald Brown, poor Fat, how he had changed; there was about him that hen- pecked, resigned air. Lawton Feagler was there — how love sick he looked. There was Birdie Huffman, and Harold Nugen attired in a rurty looking coat and horn rimmed glasses. Oh yes, Virginia Wigent and Bessie, the inseparables. Gene Prickett and Helen Likens were along. There was Cully and Lucy, too. Bill had just taken off her hat and was com- plaining how dreadful her hair looked. The question was, What is it all about? Why are you here? Then Bob spoke up. Oh! that important Bob! I ' m the ambassador from the United States. Tick. the secretary of state sent me up here on the Anti-Judoon Special Drive, and he was especially anxious that the Man in the Moon should become interested, and so of course he sent me. Since it was necessary for me to come, these others cecided to come too — just to see if they couldn ' t make some improvements on the moon. My, how Virginia Wigent had changed. She wao no long- er the meek ' irginia: in fact site had acquired many of the Pankhurst airs. Dees the Man in the Moon believe in Women ' s righto — well, he will pretty soon, won ' t he, Bessie? Oh. could this be the backward Virginia? Oh, yes, just look how you convinced your former hus- band, Ralph Fell, tho they did have to send him to Logansport soon after. Oh, Trix, (this is Ad. ' ie Mae speaking!, Do you know I have just made a new crochet pattern and I am so anxious to teach it to the Lady in the Moon. Tell me. ' Bob, ' what are the rest of them doing here since they can ' t speak for themselves? Well, there is Mr. Hathaway, he has just invented a new soap bubble pipe and since he cannot find a large enough factory site on earth he has come up here. ' Birdie ' has al- ways been a railroad man and has done so well that he has determined to start out for himself and has come up here to build a scenic railway. Just then we heard some one sigh heavily. Ah. it was Lawton! Lawton, you fool, be glad Hilda did jilt you, said Fat Brown. Look how that woman, Bernice Baker, ruined my life. Why I was so henpecked from morning to night; and because of her horrible temper, I cannot marry Jelly, my star, the flame of my life! Oh, these women! There is Harold Nugen, continued Bob. See how nutty he looks. He is a biology professor and has come up here to breed snakes. Gene Prickett and his wife, Helen came along just for their health, for they are bored with things on earth. And Glenn Culver? Oh, he is a prize fighter and has won the 1 U 2 O Page Twenty-Two ®S ' championship on earth and has come up to challenge the Man in the Moon. And poor Lucy felt so sorry for the Man in the Moon that she came along, too. I was anxious to know what was the matter with Peely, for she wasn ' t talking but was busy registering wonder. Oh, said Bob, Peely is our dancing wonder. She has taken up polo dancing and has lately become so interested in moon light dances that she has come up here po that she may have moon light for dancing any time she chooses. And do you notice how Johnny Slater follows her around? He is passionately in love with her. and tho Peely has refused him again and again he has even followed her up here. I hurried the party up to the Moony Castle, for the Lady of the Moon was just having tea, and I knew she would be pleased with all these earthly guests. While they were all talking to the Man and Lady, I was busy asking Bill what had become of the rest of our class. Now listen, Trix, you remember what nice girls Amber, Pauline, Velma and Manila were? Well, they are chorus girls now. Yes. that ' s true! You never would have thot it. would you? Oh. yes, and there is Ross Wilson, Donald Long and Clare Grubb; they have become great capitalists and have formed the peanut trust. Now I know you are thinking about Marie Bauer. Well, she and Esther Teeters are so very smart that they have finally devised a method of cracking hickory nuts without a cracker and have gone to Egypt to impart their knowledge to the Egyptians. And do you know that Rhuea Bateman and Ruth Musser disappeared soon after you left and no one knows what became of them — but they were headed towa,rd Detroit. Helen Dawson and Jessie Prickett are the only other ones I can think of, and they married Bill and Har- old and have a million acre ostrich farm In Mexico. But. Trix. how in the world did you get up here? Well, you remember when I left you that Saturday, I went over to the court house and just as I entered I noticed Ward Horn entering with a sizzling bomb in his hand. Tho I knew Ward was a Red, I will admit that the bomb surprised me. Well, there was a zip! bang! and then I woke up here — thanks to Ward ' s bomb! — JESSIE BOLAND. 19 2 Page Twenty-Three  « WHEN WE WERE FRESHIES 10 2 Page Twenty-Four ®§ SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We were all excited, for this was our first long journey at sea. Eighty-seven boarded the ship High School and hired out as stokers. This was rather a hot job but we did not realize it at first, for we chose Mr. Heeter for our boss. Donald Brown was the overseer and Jessie Boland, Garner Cupp, and Esther Bauer his assistants. We were made so much fun of, that we named our first week at sea, Laughing Waters. ,The others soon let us know that we were passing over the Green Sea. But this did not bother us much, as we were busy shoveling coal. By the end of that year, some had died of over-work — these captains have no mercy — so there were only fifty-six of us back on the job. Since we had done so well as stokers, they decided to give us a more dignified work. In fact we have climbed so high on the ladder of promotion that we were now no lubbers. Miss Seller was to pilot us through the soap-suds. We elected Robert Sheets preriident of the no-lubbers asso- ciation, and Kate Essig, Esther Teeters and Amber Reesch our other officers. We had a few parties and so had some fun amid our scrubbing. Some of our members, however, got so discouraged when we passed through the stormy straits of Caesar and Geometry and the English Channel, that they fell flat and committed suicide. So when we started on our third year, there were only forty-four of left en the old ship. I ut we were advanced to the kitchen department. Miss Armstrong was the stewardess to look after the provisions. Virginia Wigent was chosen chief cook and bottle washer, with the help of Helen Dawson. Pauline Williams was to collect the bills, but accept no tipe and Harold Nugen was to make out I ' .ie menu. We didn ' t like our jobs, bul tliought we were gaining each year, so we did not give up. Our favorite dish was hot dog, but the captain and his bunch did not seem to care much for our easte. We tried our culinary skill at a ban(|uet given to the mates. It was all very well except the desert, which we could not eat in a manner tonsistent with our dignity. To our sorrow sev- eral died from over-eating and when our trip was resumed, there was a lesser number with us than when we had started. To make up for our losses, we were made mates. Of course, we were very proud and wondered that we had ever been such things as stokers. Miss Pyle was made our com- mander for this lar.t year. We had a terrible time choosing cur first mate, but at the third election — the third time is al- ways the charm — we elected Robert Sheets. The other officers were Guinevere .Jellison, Jess:e Boland. and Flarold McGrew. Although we bumped against the rocks. Civics and Bookkeeping. our ship was not shattered as might have been expected. This year vent so quickly that we were surprised to see. one day. that we were sailing into port! As we left the boat, the captain gave us medals of sheepskin for our services. The old ship has had its day and is so weather-beaten that a new one is to set out next fall. This is such an entice- ment that some of us have decided to go with it next year, while others are planning to go on with their training and prepare to be commander of some smaller ship. Still others think they will board a vessel named College. We shall soon scatter all over the sea as each of us turns to a different work, and it is not without regret that we leave the good old ship High School on which we have traveled. for four years full of fun and work. — VIRGINIA WIGENT. SENIOR CLASS POEM ' Tis but a short time — a veiy few weeks ' Till our high school days shall be rlone And each student ' s mind turns, and each student ' s mouth speaks Of the time when our race shall be run. ' e look to the future — there lies the land Where joy and prosperity both mav be found; The laboring implements wait for our h.and — ■ Tlie gi-eat tools of labor will develop the ground. There ' s something of sadness in leaving the school We can ' t quite get out of our mind; There ' s something of gladness in leaving the school In accomplishment we ' ve left behind. riut we need preparation, and so this is why Our parents and teachers do their noble part To make us prejiared. And so with a sigh U ' e give them u Tliank you that comes fiom the heart. — E. ROBERT SHEETS. 1 U ' O Page Twenty- Five «§ — ] 9 2 O — Page Twenty-S;x «§ THE JUNIOR CLASS 1 9 2 t) Page Twenty-Seven dva§ JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Lookin g backward from our position as dignified Juniors, we recall the autumn of 1917, when we were meek little Freshies. With Henry Elliot az president. Gilbert Folk, vice president. Gene Brown, treasurer. Lois Zimmerman, secretary, and Miss Fitch, principal, a goodly number of us managed to survive our position as Goats and enjoyed four interesting class parties besides. Next year we began to consider our?elves important mem- bers of A. H. S. We again chose Miss Fitch as our principal, while our other officers were: Gladwyn Graham, president; Fisher West, vice president; Bernie e Lanning. secretary, and Victor Chase, treasurer. We had several enjoyable class par- ties. This year we assembled, our class slightly decreased in number, but self-confident. We set to work with a will, (or at least most of us did). Victor Chase was chosen president; Eleanor Theek. vice president; Blanche Watson, secretary; Harold Franz, treasurer, and Miss Vermillion, principal. Later in the year, our presL!ent felt that he was compelled to resign because of illness, so Miss Theek was promoted to his rank, and Lois Zimmerman took the place of vice president. Our first party was a weenie roast, and owing to appearances it was not exactly successful. The second was held at the home of Lenore Sheets. Here several of our upper classmen showed in what a brotherly light they regarded us. Also we were surprised at the sudden shifting of the affections of a well known member of our class. Our third social event, in the form of a Thanksgiving party, took place at Graham ' s. Here Lenore Sheets was granted a divorce and alimony from her husband. Ben Boyer. Our last function was held at the Hodge home. As this was near Christmas time we had a Christmas box which yielded up wondrous presents. Owing to a slight financial embarrassment we have had to do without any more affairs, but we hope to be more fortunate, (and less extrava- gant I ) in the future. — DOROTHY J. GARRETT.

After a month of lost maneuvering we met and organized our class. With Edwin Rainier as president; Geraldine Wi- mer as vice president; Iris Ladd as secretary; Harold Geng- nagel as treasurer, and Miss Helen Mclntyre as class principal, we sailed through the seas of success. During the term we held four class parties which were fully enjoyed by everyone. Being rather short in stature we were not very well represented in basket-ball, but even at this disadvantage we took third place in the track meet. And thus the term of 1918-19 rolled by with our class spirit at its highest. SOPHOMORES Again on the 8th of September the roll was called and we found that several of our comrads had dropped by the road side, for forty-five represented our loyal class. In a few weeks lime we organized our class for the future term. Eugene Campbell as president. Myron Watson as viie president, Edwin Rainier as secretary. Charles Capen as treas- urer, and Miss Audrey Dowell as class principal, led the future term. Although even if some of us did like some of the Fresh- men very well, nevertheless, we had to show them what good barrel staves Auburn possessed and believe we did as good a job as the former Sophomores. As usual, the Freshman reception was enjoyed by every one. During the term we had several class parties and also a bob-sled party which was immensely enjoyed. In our Sophomore year we were well represented by the second team which did its bit in athletics. We also have sev- eral members of the class who helped out the girls ' team when in trouble. Our class has been very successful throughout the term of 19-20 under the leadership of its officers, and it has lived up and always will to its pledge. We will be the best class that ever graduated from the A. H. S. —MYRON WATSON.

A larg:e crowd enjoyed this, our first social event. The trip was taken in automobiles. No one breathed right while Sylvia and Edith exchanged plates with Philip and DuVerne and raced. Miss Farley and Miss Mulvey were the teachers present. Where did part of those Freshies go? No one knows anything about it except that two cars disappoared. whirh did not carry as hirge a load as they were allotted. Cur first class party was held at Kathryn Brown ' s home. A larger crowd attended this p.Tty than any other of the year. We can hardly explain thi ' s uiless it was because of the fact that those Freshman have since had more Botany to get out- side of school. (?). Mr. Youngblood, Miss Mulvey and Miss Armstrong were the teachers present. Both outdoor and in- door games were enjoyed by all and light refreshments were j ' .erved. P. S. — No eats swiped. Later on. we enjoyed a class party at the home of Jennie Ilevel. Our class principal was present, but the other members of the faculty were missing. Games were enjoyed by all. Those Junior and Senior boys were so hungry that the girls took pity on them and gave them something to eat. The Fresh- man boys were quite angry when they came down. We wonder why. Our last social event wa?. a Calico-party held at DuVern Graham ' s home. Sad to relate there were no teachers present because of the debate. There was quite a variety of games. (No questions please.) Refreshments were served and all re- ported a very good time. — KATHRYN BROWN.

This course proved very popular, and a total enrollment of twenty-eight boys was had. making it the largest beginning vocational agricultural class in the state. The course is designed primarily for farm boys who wish instruction in farming according to the scientific methods. The instruction does not cease with the class room work but is supplemented with home work. By home work it is meant that each boy must carry on, at home, some type of produc- tive farm work throughout the entire year. The nature of this home work is largely determined by the subjects studied in class, so the pupil may actually do the work and put in practice at once the things learned in the class room. For example, the first year dairying, fruit growing, poultry and vegetable growing are studied, and most of the home work therefore, is along these line:-, such as: feeding and raising chickens, raising a dairy calf, managing dairy cows, or caring for an orchard or garden. Aside from Individual project work there is class project work; that is. the entire class manages some phase of farm work. It so happens that this year the class has cared for an orchard of twenty-five trees. They were properly pruned, mulched, sprayed and fertilized, so that increased yields could be obtained. Much field work is done during the year, such as culling poultry — picking out and disposing of the non-laying hen- selecting of seed corn from the field, judging live stock, a study of insects and fungus diseases with their control, and studies cf farms, machinery, buildings, soils, etc. There are two classes in vocational agriculture— one, all morning; the other, all afternoon. This permits a half day for field work when desired. When the time is spent in the class room, a period is given for study, another for recitation. an l a double period for laboratory work. Work in corn testing and corn judging has been done, and Franklin Bartels, Oscar Noel and Ralph Heffley have, as a result of their excellenc corn judging, won a free trip to Purdue University for one week, where they have met with vocational boys from all over the state in a helpful meeting and represented DeKalb county in judging corn. About nine of our vocational boys attended this meeting. Feed hoppers have been made, feeding problems, breeds and varieties of animals studied, as well as their proper man- agement and common diseases. Spraying, proper methods of orcharding, making sprays and controlling orchard pests were considered. Testing, proper sanitation, etc.. of dairy products, as well as butter making and examination of cream separa- tors has occupied part of the time. The boys attended the farmers ' short course of one week held here, and found it very helpful. A demonstration on the proper method of seed corn testing for disease free corn was given before the sectional vocational conference, which proved a great success. Many of the boys have made fifty dollars net and better from their projects at home, besides learning more about them and obtaining an interest in the old farm. It is felt by the entire class that an extremely enjoyable and worth while school year was had. which will be long re- membered, and most of the boys are living in eager anticipa- tion of next year ' s work. The class feels highly honored to be the first to occupy the new Mcintosh building. 19 2 — Page Thirty-Seven 3tS§ DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLASS — — — — 1 9 2 O — - — Page Thirty-Eight 3 S§ — 19 2 Page Thirty-Nine s§ - ■•• A 1 J -: -: K m J. ra • -Mii ' -11 % ij ■ T tB v - w Wm JLi. 1 a I J l Jui u [ij 1. BOYS ' BASKETBALL TEAM 19 2 0- Page Forty s § G RLS ' BASKETBALL TEAM 1 9 ;2 o Page Forty-One s§ On the first day of November a squad of about thirty were out to make the first or second team. Not until the first game was a team picked, and then each was cautioned that he did not have a life ' s lease on his job. Every one had to play his best to keep his position. Four of the men were left from last year and we were expected to have the best team in several years. We made another addition from another school, but lost him at the first of the year. Considering the hard schedule, the team made a very creditable showing as it is. With Horn to stop them at back guard and Capt. Franz to play floor guard, we had a combination that was hard to get past. With E. Brown and Huftman playing around D. Brown at center, they usually tool: the ball down to their end and put it in the basket. For substitutes we had Peagler. Hathaway and Landy. who were always ready to get in the game and fight for the team. Each one made a good showing and helped to win sev- eral games. We are not seared for material for next year, because we had a second team that defeated anything in their way. They even thought that they were better than the first team, and maybe they were. For a coach we had Mr. Jones, who played ba:-ketball in high school and football in college. If at any time he was absent, we had the instruction of Mr. Cunningham, who was the star guard of the Y. M. C. A. team. Forward- — E. Brown and Huffman. Guards — Franz and Horn. Center — D. Brown. Sixteen teams participated in our district tournament held at the new Mcintosh High School March 5 and 6. This proved to be an event of great interest, and as the floor was new. it was neutral for everyone. A fine sportsman- like spirit was shown, and there was a happy spirit of har- mony and satisfaction. Perhaps the most interesting game was between Auburn and Angola.

Auburn has not had a baseball team for sometime, and with the material in tlie High School they are promised a winning team in the future. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Although the tcara had some dilliculties in finding a suitable place to practice and play at the beginning of the year, a strong team was developed, nevertheless. Jessie Boland was elected captain, and led the team very successfully. Boland ' 20 and Guild ' 20. forwards were always on the job. Their excellent team work was a great factor in every game and they will be missed very much next year. Guild shot the free throws and seldom missed, but Boland was the ftar at field goals, securing 60. Hoodelmier 20 and Rhoads ' 20, at the middle of the floor. Avere always in the game. It took a good jumper to get above Peely. and she always played a fast and heady game. Rhoads was a side center hard to beat. She was a fast player and never had an opponent that had anything on her for speed. Whenever she was needed at forward she could fill that posi- tion equally as well as side center. Kuhlman ' 20 and Williams 20 kept the opposing team from scoring as much as possible, which was quite a bit. Kuhlman was always ready to get the ball, and Williams stopped anything that came her way. Their team work was unexcelled in this part of the state.

Orchestra was organized about the third week in September under the direction of Pres Wilcox. At the first practice, the members numbered about thirty, but since that time a few have been forced to give up this work on account of the arrangement of the schedule. Some of the popular piece:; played by the orchestra during the year are: Slim Trombone. Ridin the Goat. Spirit of the K. S. N.. 136th Field Artillery. That Naughty Waltz, Karavan. and My Cairo Love. The first event was the Yokahama Maid, accompanied by the orchestra. On April 15. the orchestra, in connection with the A. H. S. Glee Clubs, gave a contert in the auditorium of the new Mcintosh High School. The Rural Celebration. a descriptive piece, was one of the main numbers played. The last event played for was the Junior-Senior play, The Hoodoo. The following musicians make up the orchestra: VIOLINS — Paul Garver. Ralph Fell, Virginia Wigent. Myron Watson. LeRoy Arens.

A. for the first sports of the season September 19th. 1919. As team No. 1 was not initiated, the other three teams gave them an introduction by extending a would-be friendly hand and gi ' ing them the seat of honor. The manager of the season ' s first opening. Mr. Binford, arranged the sports in a most amusing contest. From each team were selected contestants tor the Indoor Meet. SPORTS OF THE MIDDLE-WEST Just a word from the middle-west which shows the sport- ing nature of a certain famous crowd of young happy-go- luckies. known as the Senior Class of ' 2 of the City of Auburn. On the eve of the sixteenth of January in the year of tweity. and when the snow was drifted high o ' er the fences, three bobsleds upholstered with hay and many robes, draw-n by six fiery steeds, arrived at the famous Hebel ' s corner, from which place they were to convey the Class of ' 20 to the City of Waterloo. What was the excitement? Well, the A. H. S. Basket Ball teams were going to, according to Waterloo gossip, play a losing game; and the Seniors couldn ' t have their pets face such danger w-ithout their co-operation. The jolly bunch reached the Old Town Hall in Waterloo, where the games were played. They were full of excitement, perhaps due to the ra.:h promises of Waterloo (although the A. H. S. knew their failing). The game proved to be scarcely a practice game, but not a mere practice for the ones Waterloo had intended it for. Both Auburn teams won by such large scores that it was con- sidered by Auburn fans too one-sided to be very interesting. The party rushed for their coaches which were waiting to take them home. At the New York Central crossing our second coach almost wrecked a train, but by the skillful man- agement of the horses, the train was not derailed. The jolly crowd was then taken to the home of Guinevere Jellison where a very delicious and appropriate lunch was served, which from the vacant look on the faces of the pans in the kitchen, was relished by all. After a short entertainment, each returned to his home for a much needed snooze. 19 2 Page Forty-Eight s§ THE CLASS OF ' 20 WENT OUT TO SEE!

Our first social event of the year was at the home of Elva Tess, where we went for a weenie roast. In spite of the tact that it was to be a hike, some of the students were unable to walk that far. and went in cars. The refreshment committee outdid all other feeds and a good time was reported by all. Our next gathering was at the home of Lenore Sheets. Here the dramatic talent of the class was displayed. (We learned how to act in the dark.) Miss Mulvey, erpecially, starred in these amateur dramatics, A few of our classmates, strange to say. got very sleepy suddenly, and the party was brouglit to an early conclusion. Gladwyn Graham entertained us next. It was here that the perfect harmony of the class received a shock. It was our painful duty to release Lenore Sheets from her cruel husband. An incident worthy of mention was that for once no one got away with our eats, and they were some eats, too. During the Christmas vacation Julia Hodge entertained the class. The house was beautifully decorated with mistle- toe. One of the most entertaining features of the evening was Harold Franz ' s realistic imitation of a donkey. In the Christ- mas box many such useful gifts such as rattles, tops, etc., were found. Dorothy Garrett entertained the class at a backward party. The main event was a game of forfeits. During the evening we discovered that Eugene Brown was apparently not in the best of health, so we did our best to restore It to him. Al- though none of the faculty were present, this was one of the best parties we have had, — H.

No literary or dramatic clubs were organized at the first of the year because there were hopes of getting into the new high, wliere conditions would not be so crowded. When it was learned that we coulcl not get into it this year, it was too late 10 organize. There was one important question that came up during the year which was. How shall the Railroads be Run? The seniors took up the discussion in English class. Then, later a discussion was held at the Public Library on the 18th of March among those rix presenting the best theories. Those participating were. Carl Huffman. Clare Grubb. John Slater, Robert Sheets. Bessie Wilson and Esther Teeters. It was a close race between Carl and Clare, but it was decided in Carl ' s favor. The county contest on this same problem was held in the gymnasium of the new High on March the 26th. Garrett, Butler and Auburn were represented. Carl Huffman again won first place. A district contest was held in the new High also. Fort Wayne (Allen), Columbia City (Whitley), Fremont (Steuben), and Auburn (DeKalb) took part. Fort Wayne ' s man carried off the honors of the evening. We regreted to give up the thought of not sending a man to Bloomington, but we are hoping that next year this point can be achieved. We also hope that literature will take more of a stand in school life next year than it has this year. — B. W.

SYNOPSIS The story of Yokohama Maid opens in Kybosho, a su- burb of Yokohama, where th3 guests are assembled to celebrate the sixteenth birthday of 0-Sing-a-Soug, the daughter of a rich merchant who has been dead for but a few monthr.. The father left a will with the terri;!s of which his daughter is not ac- quainted. They are known, howe.er, to Fate do, the Mayor of Kybosho, and by them t ' :e latter hopes not only to marry O Sing-a-Song, but to get hold as well of the big fortune her father had amassed. When O Sing-a Song realizes the terms of the will, she is in despair; for though she has no objections to becoming a Mayoress, she contemplates marriage with the cunning, old Fateddo with dislike amounting to aversion. She determines to find a way out of the dilemma, if way there be. Knogudi. the Mayor ' s secretary, is hopelessly in love with O Sing-a- Song, whose companion. Kissimee. is quite as much enamoured of Knogudi. Fated:lo, after revealing the fate in store for her. in- structs O Sing-a-Song to visit the United States and complete her education there, as he Welshes the Mayoress of Kybosho to be in all respects the envy of Japan. O Sing- a-Song gladly accepts the opportunity, and the end of Act I sees her de- parture for America, accompanied by Kissimee and Tung-Waga. her old nurse. Two years elapse, and the Second Act. which takes place on the day when Sing-a-Song is due back home to be married to Fatefdo, is laid in the grounds of the Mayor ' s residence. Fateddo is beaming with satisfaction and the pleasantest of anticipations. There are doubts and misgivings in the minds of all but himself. At length Sing-a-Song and her com- panions return. They are greeted enthusiastically. Fateddo prepares for an immediate wedding ceremony, and calls upon Knogudi to perform it. Knogudi refuses, and Fateddo undertakes the ot- 1 9 3 O Page Fifty-Seven s fice himself by virtue of his Mayorality. Just as he is about to proceed to the climax, a young American. Harry Cortcase, appears on the scene. He has come to Japan with O Sing-a- Song ' s party, and. after explaining his reasons for thus sudden- ly intruding. Cortcase announces that O Sing-a-Song and him- self are married. Fateddo. disconcerted, tries to find comfort in the retort that the American has married a pauper. A pretty argument ensues over the terras of the will aforesaid, and in the end. Cortcase shows that O Sing-a-Song has complied entirely with all its provisions and is legally and irrevocably his bride, re- taining into the bargain all of the wealth to which she falls heir. Fateddo, disgusted and reckless, commits social sui- cide. as he calls it, by marrying Lung-Waga, and Knogudi allows himself, with a philosophy that is humorous to everyone but himself, to be wooed and won by the delightfully per- sistent Kissimee.

The Hi-Y Club or the Three Club was organized in 1917 and membership was extended to evei-y boy in High School. The object of the club is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school, hig ' h stndards of christian character, and to bring the boys of the High School into closer fellowship. At the beginning of the year ' 19 the members of the club assisted in planning the reception given by the school to the Freshmen. The big eve it of the evening was the indoor field meet which was directed by L. L. Cunningham, physical di- rector of the Y. Light refreshments were served every Sunday evening after the meeting. The meeting was always of great interest to the fellows. A prominent business or professional man of the city giving a talk from which many good pointers were obtained. Topics for discussion were also distributed among the members. In this way the evenings were very socially and advantageously spent. Mr. Binford, secretary of the Y. deserves much credit for the assistance he has given the club. He has always been on hand to further in every way the growth of it. This club is an important factor in the High School life and if is hoped that more boys than ever before may get in on the benefits of the club next year. — G.
