We have prepared this volume to chronicle the main events of the year, and to reflect to a certain extent all the activities of the school. To those of the faculty and those of the student body who have contributed in this undertaking, we express our most grateful thanks. I I LE TV E F CH?SWCC|Ep N OLflSS A DD ft' LOG.TO THE CRB IN.

The study of English is required of all pupils during the entire four years. The course follows in a general way the entrance requirements, with closely articulated studies from the required texts in rhetoric and history of literature. The work is very carefully graded. During the first year, the authors studied are Irving. Bryant. Warner. Hawthorne. Lowell and Holmes, with a background of American life and letters. The special forms in constructive work are the sentence and the paragraph. The second year’s work opens the study of English literature. During this year the attention is directed to work in narration and description, with special stress on the rise and the growth of the novel. Eliot, Scott and Dickens being used for intensive study, and .:z3 l L 3B I be ttoneoK Bi modem short-story writers for more extensive study. This work is followed with a critical study of the forms of poetry, involving the study of such | oets as Coleridge. Arnold. Wordsworth. Tennyson. Chaucer. Milton and Shakespeare. In the fourth year, the study of Shakespeare is continued with Macbeth. Lear, and Hamlet. During this time, the work in comj osition is based upon exposition and argumentation. The purpose of the course is two-fold. The first aim is to giVe the pupil a practical working knowledge of the language to help him to master the essentials of English. To this end mss GKORO.R mitci.i'bson tho constructive work as far as j� os- sible is socialized. The second and perhaps more important aim is to foster an appreciation of the best things that have been written and through that appreciation, to stimulate a taste for good books. 10 ] MISS ABIIY MAUItl.K � 3B I be ttereee? i[ For graduation from our high school two years of language are required. Either Latin or German may be elected for these credits. The Latin department offers three years of Latin, however. In the first year Dooge’s Latin for Beginners is the text used. In the second year Walker's Caesar is studied and in the third year. .Johnston and Kingerry’s Cicero. For the composition work the texts are Bennett’s Prose and Bennett’s Latin Grammar. MISS KI.OISK MII.I.IS [±iBryj j i 11 IB I be Honeer- BI ] MISS BEItTIIA MONTGOMERY Our high school curriculum offers three years of German, although only two years are required for graduation. The text books used in the first year are Vos' Essentials of German and Gluck Auf. Immensee and der Letete are used in the second and Die Jungfrau and Wilhelm Tell in thethird. Nearly everything read in class is translated into English. The German conversation is based upon the texts used. Composition work begins with the second year and continues until the end of the third year. ] 12 3 L 3B i be ttereee BC HISTORY! We teacher of history have i� definite Held of labor. The task we perform i a most worthy and practical one. executed with but little aid from other field of educational effort. The curious may ask us what is the worthy task performed; the advocate of vocational training may inquire concerning the practical value of history. We answer in the words of a famous educator, “It isfor us to put the student in touch with his times: to develop in him the historical view point, by which he will sec our present day institutions-family, church, state, business enterprise , educational movements—all a living, growing element in the development of human society. Without going deeply into the past, that time of both origin and development, we fail to appreciate the fact that we are heirs of all the ages; fail to catch the vision which is a revelation of the value and sacrcdne of well directed human endeavor. Can not other subject do for us what history does? Other studies interest us in law orgroupor type. History alone deals with the individual, the concrete. History is the one science of reality.” Thcculturai value of history lies not in merely knowing the past but in living and acting its life. We then realize our _____________________________________________ dependence upon it ami by detaching ourselves from the present we are enabled to clearly understand it. Our best preparation for life and action come through touch witn other . A survey of history carries us to the very heart of human effort and inspires us to find MISS CLARA KKIKDLKY our PLACK and do our part in the strife for that which is higher. The famous German scholar. Adolph Hamack. admonishes hi hearer . Whatever else you study neglect not history. Do not suppose that you can gather the fruits of scholarship without some in- the ner touch with the |M-r� onnlitie� to whom we owe so much and without knowing path by which they have been found. N'ohigh revelation of science is a mere fact. Every one of them ha been once lived a an experience, and in the experience lira it worth a culture. Who then would question the cultural or practical value of historical study which enables us to live the nast. adjust ourselves to the present and plan, in a measure, the future .-ill in an intelligent, helpful way. The world of business demand today, a never before of our educational institution . that they give it well trained, almost mechanical worker . The world’s wise realize that the most valuable product of the educator's art are efficient, yet sympathetic, human men and women. Where are ueh men and women to be found? What field of learning can furnish type studies? The characters of history, not fiction, reveal the efficient personalities of all classes, from the least to the greatest, from the slave to the Christ. C IBQa la [ ]B I be Herceex'il 'IAT lt'IATICS. ■ The Department of Mathematics has for its aim a double function: to govern the prospective college student in the science: and to give the student, who does not wish to continue his work at a college, a comprehensive and practical knowledge of mathematics. To the end that the college student may ho enabled easily and profitably to pursue the advanced branches of the science. most accurate and careful work is insisted uj on by the instructor. In addition to the courses regularly offered in high schools, an advance course is offered in Algebra with especial emphasis upon s| ecial products and factoring, exponents, radicals, logarithms and projx rtion and likewise a course in solid Geometry. With a view to fulfilling the second function of the department. particular care is given that the students attain a full and clear conception of the work required lx� th in Algebra and Geometry to the end that it may lx of benefit to them in their professions. The regular courses in all c.ases are such as will meet college entrance requirements, that is two semesters of Algebra and twoof plane Geometry. —- i rviRrvi—i-----------------------------------1 MISS EDNA KINO 14 3 B i be horccoK BC BOTANY Botany is one of the electives of the first year covering two semesters. The work consists of recitation work three days a week and laboratory work four |� eriods. with accurate drawings and descriptions. The first semester’s work is a study of the organs of a complex plant and a study of the seed and seedling. In the second semester, the work consists of a study of a few of the typical plants illustrating the various divisions in the plant kingdom. The different divisions of Botany are not taken up se| arately but are develop'd in their most natural relationship, emphasizing the fact that plants are living things. The morphology of plants is taken up. only to show its relationship to the living processes. Plant physiology and ecology, however, are considered at greater length. Practical questions, as well as scientific facts, are discussed wnenever possible so that the pupils relate their common e | eriences. Plant breeding, forestry, pruning. girdling and diseases are some questions upon which outside reports are given in class. Bulletins from the Department of Agriculture and other texts ars used for references. MISS ll A AKIN ctszj a 15 16 BOTANY LABORATORY IB I be honeeK Bt COMMERCIAL ■it wr Commercial Arithmetic Commercial Geography Commercial arithmetic is one of the most l eneficial subjects given in the school. Heretofore it has l een given every other semester as a requirement after commercial geography. This year, however, it was given as a separate, elective subject, open to any who wished to take it. regardless of the geography course. Next year the arithmetic will be included as a requirement in the regular, business, commercial course. This course in arithmetic is to train the pupil to figure correctly, easily and rapidly and should fit him to solve the problems that arise in the ordinary course of business. To this end. modern commercial arithmetic gives a brief review of the fundamental o|x rations. fractions and decimals, introducing short practical methods. The mechanical part of arithmetic is illustrated and explained by diagrams, examples, operations and notes. The intellectual part is develoj ed in the pupil’s mind by mental problems. auestions and statements. Rides and statements are superseded by evelopment exercises which serve to make one thoughtful and independent The text now used is by F. J. Schneck and is the most practical modern arithmetic that has yet been introduced. According to the statement of the author, his chief aim is to present the problems jus nearly as |K ssible jus they are presented in the business office, not tabbed with article and rule. No puzzles or catch problems are presented and subjects that do not arise in modern business transactions are omitted. The pur|Kxse is to present the work that will give the pupil all needed instruction. Inspection and trial has shown that this aim has been accomplished. Commercial Geography is an elective subject, continuing for one semester. It is one of the subjects which will be included in the full commercial course to be entered next fall. The facts of commerce are treated as the effect of conditions that determine the quality and quantity of trade. Geographic and many other controlling influences, such as inventions an l means of transi ortation. are therefore made prominent The commodities entering most extensively into trade are very numerous, and attention has been confined to these commodities because they have a greater educational value in any attempt to elucidate for the classroom the nature of commerce and its underlying principles. Each product is treated in the chapter relating to the commerce of that country in which the production or manufacture of the commodity is specially prominent. Comparatively few statistics are included in the text. No statistics have been used that are not believed to represent normal conditions. The maps have been prepared with a view of conveying much information that could not otherwise 1m? so graphically imparted. [ 17 [ This department in its new location on the second Hoor of the high school building is now better equipped than ever. The five new laboratory tables are ideal with their chemical-proof tops, steel standards and two lockers with private keys to each pupil. This means ample room for individual work and all that is now-needed is sufficient apparatus to give each student an opportunity to demonstrate and prove for himself the great laws and principles of the physical world. The change in the course of study which makes this subject optional will tend to produce a higher grade of work for only those will now study it who really desire the work and not merely to make a credit. The work is divided into three recitation | eriods and two double laboratory peri-ods i er week. The text followed is Practical Physics” by Black and Davis. The laws and principles develojHxl here are made more real by their demonstration in the laboratory through well chosen experiments. The total result is a practical working knowledge of the subject. MR. K. K. NKWI.AMI [ The chemistry department is now located in its well-lighted roomy quarters on the second floor of the new high school building. 1 he equipment of the laboratory is in line with that of the physics laboratory. One large table has been installed with sufficient room and lockers to accommodate sixteen pupils. Gas and hot water with waste pipe connections make this desk a model of convenience. There is sufficient space in the laboratory for the installation of two more tables of like dimensions. These will be added when demanded by the growth of the department. The work is divided into three recitations and two double laboratory periods j er week. This correlates the theoretical and practical sides of the subject in such a way as to give the best possible results. rShRrvi 3 is PHYSICS LABORATORY 19 CHEMISTRY LABORATORY One of the most needed of all studies to make intelligent citizens is the study of civics. The course consists of a thorough study of federal, state and local governments. Mr. Montgomery, the instructor, has introduced some novel features called the laboratory work of civics.” When the national political conventions were l eing studied the class was made the delegates of the convention, and two political bosses” were chosen. These henchmen organized their factions and the temporary chairman was elected and. upon assuming the office, made a political speech. Political committees were appointed by him. and, after these had reported, a permanent chairman was elected, also making a rousing speech. The presidential nominations were taken up in due form, together with nominating speeches and seconds to them, after which a heated casting of votes for a favorite presidential candidate was held. A house of representatives was created by making each member of the class a congressman. The election of the s| eaker. together with the appointment of his secretary was the first business to l e taken up. Again, the s|� eaker used his power and ajmointed various committees among his faction. Bills were then introduced by each congressman and each bill being referred to its committee. After a report by the committees, the bills were read and debated, thus bringing forth some heated and flowery oratory. Thus, one may see. that in this new method, one not only gets the theory as to how our government is run. but also receives the practical side of it. VOQATl SVRVI IAL Y Vocational survey is a new line of work which Mr. Montgomery has introduced into the Civics class. It is taken as a part of the civics work as it is along the line of this study. It is very profitable for the student and is one of the best courses added to the curriculum. Each member of the class writes his vocational survey and then reads it before the class In this essay the student takes a vocation which he considers to be a good one for a life work and tells why. Then following this. the question of obtaining the education and the cost of preparation is discussed. He then give the possible remuneration and likely location for carrying on this work. The vocational work i very int resting and it not only aid the student who [ rrj ares it. but also any of the clans who might jiossibly be int rested in such a life work. 1 he purpose of tl.e survey is to interest the students in some line of work or trade which they might possibly take up in leaving school. rSnBrxn t 21 MISS NO It INK KVASS ibe Hettee BC COOKjNQ One of the most interesting places in the high school is the cooking lalioratorv or kitchen. When it is seen it ap| eals strongly to any girl with a domestic instinct. While the work in the kitchen is very interesting and the time goes all too quick j well spent. The work consists of practical lessons in cooking, serving, cleaning, the history and classification of foods, together with the best and most economical way of f preparing them. Each food is studied and prepared with its relation to the body. One of the practical serving lessons was in the form of a dinner served to the Sohool Board and male members of the faculty. The dinner was prepared by the girls of the morning classes and served by three girls out of each class. The kitchen is not equipped with a dining table and chairs, but with these borrowed I from the superintendent’s office, it proved a successful “debut” and gave encour- agement for the undertaking of a more elaborate affair in the future. The work in the laboratory depends largely on the individual work of the girls. Every week each girl is given a s| ecial housekcejier’s duty and is made to feel a resjionsibility for the appearance of the kitchen. Much interest has been shown in this department, not only by the school, but by many outsiders who have visited the kitchen during school hours and have found it a good place to come. More than once savory odors floating up from the kitchen have brought many a hungry person to the kitchen door only to find the last bit of something good” has just been eaten. Even the odor of onions, after they have been cooked in this place, appeals to the appetites of the professors and the boys have so far forgotten their bashfulness that they are now not ashamed to enter and inquire if there is not a taste left for them. Although this is the first year of the new work everyone feels that it has been very successful and that the way has been paved for the enlargement of the department. 22 ] IB I be honoer BI SEWING em • ■. Sowing was introduced into B. H. S. September. 1914. for the purpose of teach-our girls how to sew and to better prepare them for life. This course consists of two periods of forty minutes each. One period is usually devoted to note book work and the other to sewing, the materials being furnished by each individual. The first few weeks were spent in learning the different stitches and seams, to thread the machine, fill the bobbin, treadle, etc. Of course many needles were broken, many crooked stitches made and many stitches taken out. but we soon learned to do better as the days went on. The first garment we made took several weeks of hard work but with Miss Williams’ aid we had a long row of beautiful gowns displayed. The next piece was made with fewer mistakes and we began to feel that with much practice and patience we could sew straighter. During s| are moments, while the machines were in use. we had the pleasure of crocheting, tatting and making Xmas gifts. The making of button-hole samplers caused many a sigh. Sometimcr the holes were climax! out of the goods, leaving a very large hole, often too large for a button, out after much hard practice we had some good button holes. We made a careful consideration of the material before purchasing, the suitability and economy being considered. There was undefinable charm about the handmade lace and tatting on the clothing, and there were also some dainty machine-made garments. As the girl advances in the work she also learns how to plan her wardrobe economically, how to purchase wisely and how to make her own clothes so that they will be adapted to her own use sind personality. Girls in some high schools make their own graduation dresses within a limit of few dollars for materials. Who knows but what some day our own high school girls will be making their graduation dresses? There is a great satisfaction which comes with the independence one feels in the ability to do. Although our sewing room is not fully equipped. our girls have realized what a great l� enefit it is to be able to sew and are looking forward to a large sewing room equip| ed with every necessity. miss mary williams KnRrvi 3 24 3 25 [ ]B the Al VWAL Manual Training was added to the course of Bedford high school in the fall of 11 14. It consists of two parts, bench work and mechanical drawing. Mechanical drawing is closely related to the bench work because a working drawing must l � made and interpreted before an article can be successfully made. The bench work is divided into two parts, a preliminary course, then cabinet and furniture making, the first being preliminary tothesecond. The preliminary course consists of exercises in sawing, planing, nailing and making sej arate joints and splices such as the splayed splice, mortise, tenon and dovetail joints, all of which are used to a very great extent in furniture and cabinet making. When the preliminary course is completed. s| ecial work in furniture and cabinet making is begun by first making such furniture and fixtures as are needed by the school, then each i erson is allowed to make things for himself. It is the chief pun ose of the course to give a preliminary prei aration for the different lines of industrial work carried on at home. MK. K. V. HI KTON 215 ] [ 3 MANUAL TRAINING ROOM ] B I be honeer BI There has been more interest taken in music this year than ever before in the history of the school. The chorus work lias a more prominent place and Unbecoming more important all the time. Through the efforts of Miss Braden the glee clubs have worked hard and have had a successful career for this year. The number in each has increased and more programs have been arranged and better entertainment produced than ever before. The combined glee clubs were 'on the program at the Fayetteville high school commencement exercises. They very ably represented B. H. S. and the school is miss alma bradkn proud of the results of this kind of work. We expect for next year increased efforts and better results than for this year and we know that this will l e the case if Miss Braden has charge of it. I ohB ccseia r 3 28 i«4r ]§ i be Hooeor Bt Pupils entering high school are required to give one year’s time to the art work using two forty minute periods per week. Advanced courses are arranged for and may be taken if the pupil so desires. The work is arranged to give the pupils as great an appreciation of the beautiful thru the studies of great masters, by actual drawing from forms beautiful in themselves and thru study of principles necessary to the formation of results pleasing and beautiful. We hoj e to acquire a certain definite basis of understanding in what is truly beauty, what is fine in line, color and form, from which we may proceed to a more detailed study and discovery to some degree of how this beauty and fineness is actually attained. The aim finally then is for greater individuality, keener observation, and deeper interest in splendid accomplishment During the fall term plant forms are studied in color and pencil, developing appreciation MISS MILDRED WKKNINK for line and color as found in nature as well jus ability and accuracy in expression. From the more general work we advance to the more detailed work from plant forms to be used in the formation of units of design. The units conventionalized are used in designs for surfaces and borders. In connection with the study in design comes the study of color, harmony and notan. A practical course in lettering is suggested and finally used in connection with composition and. for the boys particularly, in poster advertisemement purposes. Much time is given to the study of beauty in form and of light and dark t ru drawing from still life in pencil and charcoal. Landscape in pencil and color at first naturalistic and later decorative gives greater opportunity for study of nature and of color composition. Finally t! e knowledge gained in composition, letter, color and line is put to test in the construction of a practical problem of use.

Although most high school annuals are about as interesting as a catalogue, we have tried by the combined efforts of the staff, to arrange the pictures and literary material in such a way as to make this book the best of all years. In order to make this the l est book of all. if we may call it so. the staff has been enlarged from nine to twenty students and four faculty advisors. They have shown the best that they have in them and we feel sure that everyone who turns these pages will be brought in closer touch with the school and will help to renew the old B. II. S. spirit. We feel a pride in presenting this book to the Senior class of 1915, since several new features such as the alumni. departments and many more cartoons and pictures have been added to it. We also wish to thank the editors, faculty and students for making this book a success. With these few remarks we will retire and let the Pioneer of Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen speak for itself.

John waits for a mo-mentor two. then repeats his request.) Class, let’s have order.” (John’s request still unheeded. At last John becomes as indignant as his temj er permits.) Class, please let’s do come to order.” (Class at last becomes silent. John speaks.) Class, you all know ” (Paul Richardson sneezes faintly.) John (turns around and gives the offender one of his fiery glances then proceeds): Class, you all realize that altho this is just a practice for our class day exercises we must do the ! est we can. for on class day we must try to have every part of the program perfect. Now. as you know, it is time to go over our class prophecy and I feel that it is my duty to say just a word about it. (John, after shifting his position and clearing his throat, proceeds in a more dignified manner, altho with his usual eloquence.) The prophecy of the class of 1915 is a thing which should call forth the most solemn of our moods, for have we not lived and learned our | ast? Are we not in the depths of the present?—it is the future which remains the vast unknown realm which must gradually In? unrolled before us. as the years pass by—unless in some mysterious manner we are fortunate enough to get a glimpse into our future. And. members of this class, it was certainly a great surprise to me when I discovered that one of % us had been blessed with this wonderful gift of reading the future of mankind. And now, if ’Happy’ Lane will please give us his attention, we shall listen with mingled feelings of joy and sadness as John Howard Emery reveals to us our destinies.” John Emery (lazily dragging to the front and assuming his natural ’slouchy’ | osture) Since I learned that I was to act as Crystal Gazer and tell your fortunes this afternoon. I naturally began to think, in many cases of what your pasts had been. In doing so I found that prob-ably the most brilliant past was that of our Leader, so I think it appropriate that I should foretell the future of Professor E. VV. Montgomery, first.” John Rowe (indignantly):— Ahem! What’s the matter with my cornin' first? Guess I'm President. John Emery (turning up his nose, proceeds to read Mr. Montgomery’s unknown.” I can see for this much esteemed gentleman, a future, indeed worthy of his past. He will soon become President of Mexico and will Ik? presented with the speediest automobile in the country in order that he may be able to keep track of his position. In order to avoid trouble. I’ll bring Mr. Rowe in about this time. Here I see a second Don Roberts, striving to obtain jiolitieal pie (and I know him to prefer the crust of pie.) I feel that I must predict success for him. since I can’t forget his campaign efforts in the Civics Class.” 1 QGBCX] 49 [ ] c 3B I be HorceeK BC John Emery (looking into the bowl and then at Florence Dye.) Well. Flossy, you’re goin’to be an old maid in spite of all your efforts. It does look like a shame for you to lose George Louden after you tried so hard to win him. But cheer up while there's life there’s hope and you may l e able to get Tom Huffines.” Florence Dye “Why. John Howard Emery, that’s just simply awful, and if you’re going to say things like that. I’m not even coming on Class Day.” Earl Salyards Sa-ay, you can just leave my part of this out.” John Emery— Why. ’Fatty.’ you needn't be worried, for you’re goin’ to join the Salvation Army and then you can sing 'When by My Grace. I Shall Look in Her Face.’ to your heart’s content. Shaking of singing. I see that we have another musician in our ranks:” Florence Dye (smiling and fidgeting) “Oh! Who?” John Emery— Claudius Reynolds, and he will sign a life contract with the Victor Company to sing his favorite. ’do-ra-me Am-mer-i-ke. ’ ” (John then sto| s. looks around and yawns. He spies Kathleen Hart in the rear of the room. Well Kathleen, you needn’t stay so far away from us now just because you think you’re goin’ to in the future.” (Looking into the bowl) “Kathleen, you are to sail the High Seas and when you reach a ri| e old age. you’ll receive a pension from the Navy Department of the United States, instead of silk fiags from your admirer.” (Turning to Lory Tovey:) “Lory, you won’t Ik on the l ension list, you'll just l e a wounded soldier in the Salvation Army.” Clay Murphy s| eaks up— Say, what do you see in there about Miss Marble?” John Emery She’s already gaining fame. |x sing as the Fairy for the Fairy Soap Company.” (By this time Paul Richardson, who is sitting over in one corner has dozed off to sleep.) (John begins to tell fortunes in earnest.) I guess it would be interesting to know what has become of the Senior Couple. You know they couldn’t be separated during their Senior year, and they’ll Ik just about as inseparable in the future. I believe that I can say that Corah will succeed in making a ’Preacher’ of her husband, altho his tendencies are really athletic.” (Turning to Goldie Porter:) Well. Goldie, your future’s not goin’ to be your present—that quiet easy tread of yours will become as much of a fashion as the Fox-Trot.” (John turns to Crystal again.) Dorothy Owens (as inquisitive as ever) Say. John, what’s in that fish bowl about me?” John Emery—“Now. ’Dot’, just wait a minute till I see what’s goin’ to become of Miss Braden. Miss Braden, it seems, will give up her musical career will leave her fields of endeavor for ’far greener Fields.' 50 ] r 3B I be HoneeV iL (Turning to Dorothy Owens:) Well. ‘Dot’.

(Class becomes silent.) (Looks into the fish bowl, turns toward William with a look of disappointment) You’ll have to catch up with the present before you can possibly have a future. Miss Millis so it seems will give up teaching Latin and succeed Mr. Burton as teacher of Manual Training. She certainly should be successful: she has so much exigence teaching wooden heads, alias block heads you students of Caesar and Cicero. (Turning to Vera Monical:) By the way. Vera, you’re to have a bright future, for you will marry an English Lord with a failing for ‘MonicaIs’. I believe that you'll be a society leader in London, but you’ll become addicted to the tea habit until at times you’ll be almost violent And you, Ida Norris, will become famous as a ‘movie actress’, with the envied position of being a second Flora Finch.” “Ola Barrel is also to be an actress. She. it seems, will star in Ben Jonson’s play. ’The Silent Woman.’ ” (Staring at Henrietta Sohn) Heine will continue to get conceited over the fact that she could ride a pony thru High School and will start out immediately to win a ’Derby.’ Paul Richardson (mutteringly) Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble (Before he finishes. William Rolierts rudely exclaims: “Speaking of trouble, what’ll ever become of Miss King?” John Emery It seems as if Miss Morrow and Miss Aiken are to lie her eternal comj� anions. In fact, they’ll form the Triple Alliance of Pain. Aiken and Sorrow and will continue to deal the death blow to the ambitions of B. II. S. students.” (John proceeds before victims have time to take offense.) Dorothy Bailey has been so fond of church work during her High School days that it really seems as if she will got a Church of her own some day never a Hen-nery tho.” (Turningto Harry Bridwell and sj eaking very politely:) Mr. Bridwell. in a few years after you leave B.

Florence Smith and .Marie Schmidt will purchase Jones’ store across the way and there serve free lunch to homeless. friendless, defenseless and none too particular dogs. Florence Smith, it seem, will not stay with this very long for she will gain in avoirdupois until she will become famous as a feminine John Bunny and noted particularly for her ’Bunny Hug’.” (John glances around the class again:) Dorsey, you and Margaret Whalen both will have exciting futures. For Margaret I see an immediate change of climate ahem you’ll probably go to Seymour. Dorsey, when the wave of woman sufferage overtakes this land, you will become the most corrupt of all corrupt politicians.

And Ixniva. well, she'll surprise us all and most of all herself, by marrying immediately after leaving school. She and her husband will be chief cooks and bottle washers for Kay Face, while he manages the Poor Farm.” There seems to be two more of our class whose work will throw them together in the future. Florence Smith Who. John?” John Bernice Fish and Athol Thomas. They are to lx? the successors of Marlowe and Sothern. and it is safe to predict that they will be extremely popular.” Miss Williams will follow her chosen work and will soon take up her duties with the William’s Floral Company making button-holes for their | atrons while they wait.” I.aura Mason, you are to marry an aviator, and will work with your husband on the United States Aerial Mail Route between Spion-Kopj and Oolitic. (Turningtothe class:) “This seems to be a natural career for Laura. for at school she was up in the air about half of her time.” (Turning abruptly to Marguerite Bowman:) Marguerite has always lx?en a favorite of Miss King’s and naturally interested in mathematics. But when she got her credits she took up the study of music after learning that music is higher mathematics. As soon as she finishes school she will leave for Berlin, where she will teach the French harp to the Germans.” John E.

At last proceeds: “Miss Friedly will write a history, to be known as Fried-ly’s Concise Ancient.

PAUL RICHARDSON. 1 I ]g ibe honeoK g[ CLASS HISTORY On January 16. 1911. twenty-nine brilliant lads and lassies entered the Bedford High School from the Departmental building. On September 11.1911. they were joined by fifty-eight others and the real Freshman year lx?gan with a class of eighty-seven. Altho’ these Freshmen seemed very insignificant at the time, they were destined to be the largest and most illustrious class ever graduated from B. H. S. They showed themselves capable of holding their own in this great institution by completely ignoring the taunts of Juniors and Seniors. They endured the initiation ordeal. administered by the Sophomores, with astonishing bravery, and then settled down to diligent study. The marvelous ability displayed by the members of this class from the very beginning proved a source of wonder, even to the faculty. Needless to say. they all passed safely into the Sophomore class. The Sophomore year began in September. 1912. with a class roll of fifty-seven. New interest was added this year by the fact that the work was taken up in the beautiful new high school building, which, alone, is enough to make one proud of being a member of B. H. S. The school work was entered into with great spirit: however, the boys of the Sophomore class wandered away from their school duties long enough to show that they were as skilled in haircutting as any former Sophomores. I and as a result, the Freshmen appeared one morning with neatly shingled heads. The Sophomores managed to keep out of serious trouble during the rest of the year. On September 20. 1913. they first organized as a class. The class list showed an enrollment of forty-two members. Class officers were elected and colors of bulgarian blue and burnt orange were chosen. The school this year was under the control of a new principal and through his excellent efforts the old rivalry between Juniors and Seniors, due to “Class Spirit,” was kept down as new interests were introduced. The Junior boys became actively engaged in athletics and four of them became stars on the first basket ball team. They learned that the greatest honors may be gained in other wavs than raising banners and painting colors. A few social events were engaged in during the year, the climax being reached when the annual Junior banquet was given in honor of the Seniors. This was a pronounced success. By the time the Senior year was reached, many had left the class. A few of these were left in the High School and will graduate with a later class: some left High School to take up other lines of work: a few moved away and finished their high school work elsewhere, while others left because the sea of matrimony looked more attractive to them than high school life. r iRrvi 58 ] 3B I be HoncoK g[ ,r.r 1 E ! Tho deficiency in the regular class roll, however, was made up by the addition of new members and as Seniors they showed an enrollment of forty-four members. A few of the additional ones were held back from graduating with the preceding class, while others entered as Seniors from other schools. The old class spirit died out as school spirit increased. Great rivalry was displayed among the Seniors for honors in debating, public discussion and other interesting branches of school work, their greatest aim being to let no member of a lower class surpass them and to be at the head of the Senior class. The Senior term had scarcely begun when the class was visited with great sorrow, one of their fairest members having been called by death’s angel. On September 23 they organized as the Senior class and most efficient class officers were chosen. Class colors of green and white were chosen. The old tradition known as Color Day” was abolished and the Juniors immediately followed their example, so no colors were worn that year. The boys who had starred on the basket ball team during the Junior year showed themselves much more efficient this year and the class of '15 was certainly proud to claim them as its members. The social events during the year were few because they realized that their responsibilities as Seniors called for more labor. less pleasure. As the spring term passed away they began to understand what the closing days of high school means and. al-tho’ they were proud of being Seniors, they could not help feeling some | angs of regret at leaving dear old B. H. S. forever. They realized that after the closing of high school days, they would l e scattered far and wide and probably never all meet together again. But in the future years, wherever they may be. their thoughts will often turn to B. H. S. and the many, many happy days s| ent there. r iRrvi c ] 59 1H I ho iwnan Br HISTORY OF BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL In 1809 an attempt was made to establish a graded school for the benefit of the township. The movement caused great dissatisfaction between the residents of the town and those of the township outside the town. This resulted in the incorporation of the town and its severance from the civil township in school matters. In the division of school funds, the building became the property of the town. The first building was one of six rooms with capacity to seat three hundred. The cost was $27,000. School opened in it. Sept. 1871. On November 24 of the same year, it was destroyed by fire. The cause was unknown. At a meeting of the citizens, on the day of the burning, the Trustees were ordered to build a more commodious house. Plans were immediately prepared by T. N. Stevens. The ruins of the old building were cleared away and room was made for the new one. While the new building was being prepared, rooms were rented in various parts of town and school continued. The second building was completed in in 1873. It contained nine rooms and accomodated five hundred pupils. The total cost was $27,000. In 1910 the plans for the present building were drawn up. The Architect was Elmer Dunlap, This building was completed in 1911 and school was opened in it in September of the same year. It is a modern, stone building, containing twenty-one rooms and employes fourteen teachers. In September. 1914. Domestic Science and Manual Training were added to the curriculum. The yearly enrollment has steadily increased: the enrollment of 1914-15 being the largest in the history of the school. The history of the school has been that of continued success and. although in its earlier days it had to undergo many hardships and labor under many disadvantages, it has advanced so rapidly in efficiency and educational standing that it now ranks among the best schools of the State. cbBoa 60 ] ]g I be Honoof Bl ]i I be ItoioooK' B[ CLASS OF 1916 CLASS OFFICERS President..........................Henry Pearson Vice-President.....................Ruby Harrell Secretary-Treasurer................Carl Pearson Class Colors , Hyacinth and Silver Green Class Flower JUNIOR CLASS ROLL Lilac Brock.

Fae i rViRrvi F :n 75 3B I be hoiocer BI FORBES-ROBERTSON’S HAMLET The first week in November was Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson’s farewell week in Indianapolis. He o| ened his engagement with his supreme achievement. Hamlet, the great actor in the great part, the greatest since Edwin Booth, so the critics say. Throughout the presentation. I was strongly reminded of Coleridge’s saying that the stage in Shakespeare’s time was a naked room with a blanket for a curtain, but he made it a field for monarchs. A naked stage is all that this artist needs, for his greatness comes from within. This man seems strangely fitted by nature for the part of Hamlet. Although sixty years of age. he seems no older than the character that he assumes, so agile and alive is he. He is a little above medium height, rather slightly built, with a well-shaped body and a noble head. His features, which are clear-cut and classic, give evidence of a strong mentality, as well as an infinite capacity for suffering. His hair is very dark, almost black, touched lightly with grey. His body is very expressive. |xarticu-larly his hands, which are long, graceful, and delicate. The greatest thing about him is his voice. So great a master of the art of speaking is he that every word falls from his lips like a lucent jewel. It was he who said that the genius of the English language is to place the accent near the beginning of the word. Following this rule, such words as customary and circumstance fall from his lips like dew. The word immortal lives again for me. since I heard him use it in the famous lines: And for my soul, what can it do to that. Being a thing immortal as itself? His lines were made more impressive by the use of suppressed emotion, escaping now and then in sobs and groans. Throughout the play, he api eared in the same costume. Being in mourning, as you know, for his father, the late king of Denmark, he was dressed in plain, close-fitting garments of black with long graceful lines, the skirt of his robe outlined with sable, the badge of mourning. This inky costume was relieved only by a touch of white at the throat and the wrists, by a long gold chain wound several times alnmt his neck, and by the cold gleam of the steel at his side. In both the night-watch and the burial scene, he had around him a long, loose, flowing garment with a full | ointed hood, which completely concealed his identity. One needs to see him only once to realize that his is a great | ersonalit.v. a personality that colors and transforms everything that he touches. When sj oken by him. so familiar a thing as. To be or not to be. takes on. chamelion-like. a new color. He is complete master of the philosophy with which i ™ r— -1 r rv-1 ™ r - ——i 77 [ 3B ibe HoncoK BE this play is laden. Whatever may have been one’s idea of Hamlet’s sanity, this interpretation forces the belief that at all times he is master of himself and of the situation. The opening scene is a night-scene. The setting is the simplest, with only a few scarcely distinguishable figures moving about in the cold night air. When the ghost of Hamlet’s father stalks across the stage, almost freezing with fear the watchers, it seems the most natural thing in the world. No one doubts that it is a real ghost, an objective thing, for is it not the very witching time of night? Thus the atmosphere is felt, the key-note is struck, and the audience is at once in sympathy with the trend of events. And then the next night, when Hamlet, who has been told of this thing, watches with them, the scene is memorable. The stage is bare: the background is a stretch of sea and sky. both midnight blue, and the impression is one of vastness, illimitable, unfathomable sj ace. the vastness of the universe. On the extreme right, ringed with the sombre world, stands the ghost. The light falls in such a way that a glittering helmet, a ghastly face, and a snow-white beard are plainly visible. The figure remains stationary, while in sepulchral tones, it relates to the amazed ear of Hamlet the story of the foul and unnatural murder. All this time Hamlet is in the foreground. This, however, is so dark that his presence is more felt than seen. Then after the ghost disappears, the light falls on the foreground, thus revealing the prostrate ilE figure, writhing in anguish. After what seems an interminable time. Hamlet staggers to his feet, and, after uttering the lines in which he says that he will wipe from the tablets of his memory all trivial fond records, he dedicates himself to the pur| ose of revenge. An effective scene is the one in which Hamlet offers his school-fellow, whom he trusts as he would an adder fanged. the pipe, and requests him to play it. When the man says that he has not the power to play on it. Hamlet shows how futile it is to try to play u|� on him. when the manipulation of a simple instrument of wood is impossible. The strongest scene is of course the one in which he catches the conscience of the king, the climactic point. The players arrive and present their play in the center of the stage. On the right, seated on the throne, are the royal spectators. On the left are Horatio. Poloniusand Ophelia. Hamlet lies on the floor, at the feet of Ophelia, directly in front of the King. He fastens his eyes on the face of the King and notes every change in the countenance. When the player comes to the s|iecial passage which Hamlet has written and inserted in this sketch, the King turns to Hamlet to ask if any offense be meant. At the point where the King winces. Hamlet crawls across the floor as if drawn by some irresistible power, and is at the foot of the throne when the King betrays himself. It is the supreme moment in the powerful acting of this man. The effect of this moment is heightened by the green light that flares from the torches of the attendants who rush i [±Bcy: 78 ] 3E3 I be itoncoK BI forward when the King calls for lights. The only gleam of humor, aside from the unconsciously humorous actions of old Polonius. is the scene with the grave-diggers. Their drollery affords the only relief to Hamlet’s grief. These grotesque figures show an utter disregard for death, and toss up skull after skull as carelessly as if they were stones. They know no difference between a Yorick and a Caesar. The scene between Hamlet and his mother in her boudoir is pathetic beyond words. The portraits of the two kings are wrought in the tapestries that cover the walls. As Hamlet compares them, the audience is impressed with the soul-sickness of the Queen. The closing scene is somewhat altered. When Horatio finds that Hamlet is poisoned, he places the prince on the throne. The dying man rests his head against the back of the seat, folds his hands and gives his voice to Fortin-bras. the Norwegian conqueror. Horatio then places the crown in the hands of the hero, who weakly yet distinctly s|x aks his last line. The rest is silence. Two shields are then locked in order to make a litter. The lifeless form is tenderly lifted from the throne.placed upon the improvised litter, and to the solemn tones of the Dead March, is borne from the stage, which is now strewn with the bloody harvest of the last few minutes. The curtain fell on one of the most notable achievements of the English stage, on one of the greatest Hamlets that any stage has produced. Although his charm is almost irreducible, it rests largely upon his simplicity, for he is at all times simple in costume, in speech and in gesture. William Winter, the dean of American critics, pays Forbes-Robertson this noble tribute: “Sweet, modest, gentle, simple, true. His art pursued one clear design. By power and pathos to subdue And to refine.” [±1BCy£3 l [ 79 I ' IB iha Bf DREAM PICTURES As the blue Ilames of the magic fire burn by the mystic lake, the weird witch reads the devices imaged by them on the water, and weaves from them this simple tale: There was a time when out beyond the blue brim of the heavens, beyond the farthest star. Fairyland lay. Here, in the tallest of the fairy aircastles. dwelt King Basil, who. with his queen. Drusilla. reigned over Fairyland. Beautiful Drusilla was the idol of the king’s heart. Nothing pleased him more than to please his queen. Since Drusilla loved freedom, the king, for her sake, abolished all laws except one. This was. that although the fairies might go to the earth at any other time, they must not see the dawn on earth. It had. however, become a custom among the fairies to rollick all day long in their own country. until, with the first twinkling of the stars, they fluttered to the earth far below. All night long, on land and sea. they danced, until the first faint tinge of the coming day sent them scurrying to their homes beyond the sky. The king himself never left Fairyland. The earth in those days was not so beautiful as it is today, for upon it no flowers had ever been seen, and never had the leaves of the tall cedar filled the air with their fragrance. So were things from the beginning of time, until one summer evening the wind, in passing, whispered in the ear of the little queen: I wonder how the dawn on earth looks. It must l e beautiful.” Next morning, as the moon began to fade, and the fairies flew back to Fairyland. Drusilla stayed behind, hidden by the grass. For a long time she crouched breathlessly in her hiding place, filled with a mixture of exultation and regret, until finally she pushed aside the grass which hid her. and | ecped out. Oh. the innocent beauty of the new-born day! It thrilled the little queen until the Kass alK ut her trembled and sent a shower of dew-drops tween her and the rising sun. In every dew-drop glowed a thousand hues, and every hue sent a thousand thrills of joy into the heart of the queen. She leaned from her hiding placed and stretched her arms toward the rising sun. Oh. she cried, there is nothing in all Fairyland half so beautiful!” And she danced from one blade of grass to another, showering dew about her. until at last she returned to her fairy home. That evening as the fairy hosts descended to the earth. Drusilla whis| ered to them. Stay to see the dawn.” As the night l egan to pass away and the morning came on. in that breathless silence which precedes the day. the little creatures settled on the trees and the grass, to await the coming of the dawn. Drusilla stretched her-seif to her full length on the grass. In the east, through the morning mists, the sun began to smile. A chill fell rz - ■ i r Rrvi f so 3 [ 3B ibe HoncoK B[ I over the fairies: their hearts hardened: they became root-eel to their places: and when the sun sailed into the open sky. he laughed down upon a world of flowers. Bluebells and buttercups, violets and daisies, daffodils and dandelions. all had become i arts of a world beautiful, and where the little queen had lain trailed the graceful vine of the morning-glory. In the tallest of the fairy air-castles, on his lonely throne, sat King Basil, with aching heart and eyes that were sad and tired. He looked from his empty kingdom to the flower-decked earth below, from his lonely throne to the pale purple of the morning-glory, and rose wearily from his seat. Slowly he | assed through the streets of his realm, and through the gates. As the gates of Fairyland closed after the king, the tall towers of the air-castles grew dim. Dimmer and dimmer they grew, fainter and fainter, until they melted into space. All day and all night the queen lay fettered to the ground, fevered by the sun. and chilled by the night-winds. At length, at break of day. when she raised her head to take some comfort from the l eauty of the dawn, she beheld at her side the tall strength of the cedar. A wind an se. and set the branches whispering. “Drusilla.” they said. Drusilla.” The voice in the branches half frightened the queen for she knew it to Ik? that of the king whom she had disobeyed. Were you so unhappy in Fairyland that you must become more so?” asked the voice. Why did you do that which you knew was wrong? For your sake I did not punish you when you stayed behind alone, but now. I ecause of you. there is no happy fairy. Ah. there are no fairies: there is no Fairyland: and oh! how wretched you are. But were you a thousand times more wretcheJ. had you wronged me a thousand fold, still would 1 come here for the love of my little queen and still would say. 'I live for thee.' The wind massed on. and the voice in the branches Ik?-came silent. Into the heart of the queen crept comfort. I on‘t say there are no fairies. she said. Only say that the flowers have come: and do not think that Fairyland is lost. Do you not see that we have made a Fairyland of earth? 1 am more wretched than I ever dreamed to be: I have wronged you more deeply than I knew. But were I a thousand times more wretched, had I wronged you a thousand fold, now would I live for my fairies, for you. and for all mankind.” As she spoke, the sweetest fragrance that the world had ever known gushed from the hearts of the flowers and filled the air. Then were the fairies, the king, and the queen happy. Thus to the earth came the cedar, the flowers, and. best of all. the fragrance of the flowers. Perha| s the queen still loves the dawn, for on summer mornings the blossom of the morning-glory opens, and. as the day advances. closes against the heat of the sun. Perhaps the queen thinks, as on that first morn on earth, that there is nothing in all Fairyland half so l eautiful as the dawn. The king and queen have kept their j act, for to this day. the cedar leaf says. I live for thee.” and the morning-glory breathes affection. This is the simple tale which the weird witch weaves from the devices imaged on the water, as the blue flames of the magic fire burn by the mystic lake. Dorothy Hughes si 31 I be HoncoK it THE QUITTER The last full strains of Home, Sweet Home” came drifting the length of the enormous tent. It was the signal that the Metropolitan Auto Show was over for the night, and almost instantly, it seemed, the exhibits were emptied of their thousands of eager sightseers. The rows of shining cars, which, all day long, had been the focus of admiring eyes, now seemed, in their white covers, to be an array of watchful ghosts. The little brook still babbled through the tent. The pine trees that supported the huge canvas rustled slightly, but all else was still. In the last exhibit on the center aisle the salesmen were about to leave for home: most of them were already in their overcoats, when the word came that they must wait for the sales-manager. Grumbling a little, they sat down and began to while away the time as best they could. As is the way with automobile men. the talk soon drifted to racing, and one driver after another was brought up for discussion. The reputation of each was summed up. usually in a word, but at most in a highly descriptive phrase, until at last was mentioned a name that could not be so easily dis| osed of. Wilfred Haskle.” A little silence followed the speaking of that name. No man seemed inclined to offer comment. until Robert Pannard. the youngest salesman of the group, blurted out: Haskle is a quitter.” A little silence followed this r statement, then Magee, one of the older men. asked quietly: Why do you say that. Pan?” Why?” the younger man answered, because he is one. that’s why. A quitter is one who quits, and Haskle quit the racing game cold, just because of one measly accident. If that isn’t being a quitter, what is?” Did it ever occur.” Magee replied, that there might be a good excuse for a man’s being a quitter?” Pannard shook his head negatively, I have never heard of one.” he replied. In the first place.” Magee began, did you know that Haskle was married? No? I didn’t think so. The fact is hardly anyone knew it. You see Wilfred’s folks had a lot of money and they kicked like everything when they found it out, so the couple thought it best to keep their marriage a secret. I was mighty close friends with Haskle in those days, and that is the way I hap( ened to find it out They were married just one week before the Grand Prize Race. and. honestly fellows. I’ve seen some pretty affectionate newly-weds, but the way those two kids were wrap| ed up in each other beat anything I ever saw. Mrs. Haskle. Grace was her name, used to come down to the track every morning to see her husband practice, and. r r i 82 ] 3B ibe Honeor HE well 1 can remember the way she used to stand with her hands clinched and her pretty eyes just a little bit shiny, as she waited for Wilfred to come by. And how he did come by! He was making faster time than any of the other drivers, but that didn’t seem to console Mrs. ('.race a bit. She was always begging him not to start into the race. And that was the only thing I ever saw him refuse her. He seemed to think that if he should win the race, it would put them all right with his folks. Then it might interest you to know the inside of that accident which made Haskle give up racing.” Magee remarked. and the other men drew their chairs closer in expectation of a story. 'The day of the race came at last, and such a crowd turned out as I had never seen before, or since, for that matter. The whole nine miles of the course was lined solid: and the estimate which placed the crowd at ninety thousand people seemed pretty conservative to me. At the north end of the grand stand was the hospital tent and one look at the crowd was enough to convince anyone that the tent would probably be needed. I didn’t see Haskle that day until about half an hour before the start of the race. He was with Grace and they were sitting in one of the boxes trying to look cheerful. Finally he got up to leave: his wife got up too. and he kissed her: then she seemed to go limp and sank down in his arms. Haskle was terribly frightened. He gave one look at the crowd, then carried her straight to the hospital tent. It took five minutes to bring the girl l aek to consciousness. and even then the doctor said she must not leave the bed for at least three hours. When Haskle heard this he broke right down. He vowed he wouldn’t leave his wife’s side for anything on earth, and yet she insisted that her husband drive the race. ‘Wilfred.’ she said, ‘it’s too late for you to withdraw now. If you had pulled out last week when I wanted you to it would be alright: but if you do it now they will call you a quitter.’ Haskle didn’t look convinced, but the doctor said that if Grace would lie still for a few hours, there was no doubt but that she would get alright: so Wilfred made his wife promise not to leave the tent, and went out to his racing car. You fellows know how that race went. Haskle drove second up to the sixth lap. then he took the lead. It was then the race l egan to get exciting, and the jieople started to crowd down on the track. There should have l een guards to hold them back, but the management cam! more for its profit than for the safety of the spectators, so the | eople surged into the course without restraint. They waited until a car went past, then piled out on the track and watched it disappear in the distance. As you fellows know, that is a pretty dangerous way to watch an automobile race. The crowd kept right on doing it. though, and in the thirteenth lap. I think it was. the inevitable hapi ened. ‘The crowd rushed out on the course as usual, and i— i KnRPvn i ...Hi 83 3B I be honooK iC filled it solid from one side to the other. Then Dame Fate proceeded to wedge it in. Almost simultaneously two small private stands, which had stood opposite each other just beyond the hospital tent, collapsed. Their occupants were thrown forward on the track, and so. pressed upon from both sides, the mass of people on the course were held as securely as if they had been in a prison cell. “Just at that moment Haskle came down the stretch, doing a good eighty miles an hour. I have often tried to imagine how that course must have looked to him just then. In front and to the right was a solid mass of | eo-ple. while on the left and offering the only chance to avoid a slaughter was the hospital tent. Hurl two tons of iron and steel, traveling eighty miles an hour, into a solid mass of humanity and there is only one thing that can happen. Haskle knew what that one thing was: hut he also knew who was lying so weak she could scarcely move in that hospital tent. And fellows, coming down that road eighty miles an hour with death staring him in the face. Wilfred Haskle had to choose: choose between killing a score of IS j� eople he never had seen before. and the one creature who was dearer to him than all the world combined. He chose. Not after days of pondering, but in the slightest fraction of time. He chose, and wrenching the steering-wheel around, he skidded straight into the great white tent.” Magee ceased shaking and sat gazing wildly at the great expanse of canvas above him. Oh. God! Magee.” Pannard said, and his voice was far from steady, make it end happily! Say the girl was not in the tent.” Grace Haskle was in the tent.” Magee said slowly. If she had not been, the lives of those fools would not have ! een paid for. and in this world everything is | aid for. “So. Pan.” he continued, according to your definition. Haskle is a quitter, for he has never touched a steering-wheel since that day. But don’t you thing that sometimes one can be a quitter and still be a man.” — Arthur Shuart r 84 ] 3B i be HoneeF BI JOHN’S REWARD ”Uh!” The speaker turned over, rubbed one eye. then the other, and then both of them. Had there been a spectator to the scene, he could easily have told from the speaker’s expression that he had been dreaming:. No! He was not a sleek-headed, manicured young millionare. touring the country in his private car: but he was a young man. who was touring the country, at present in a side-door sleeper, for his living. By this time the speaker had become thoroughly awake. He arose, went to the door of the car and looked out. The train was crossing a wide valley, in the midst of which was a river. This scenery and the warm morning air seemed to bring thoughts of boyhood back to him. He went back to the pile of straw in the corner and lay down. He ! cgan to think first of home and then of the time he had wasted since leaving home three years before. He had graduated from high school in a little town in southern Indiana, and had then gone to the city to get a start in life. He had found no employment, as he had expected, and ashamed to go home, had got the wanderlust and traveled from city to city until well here he was this fine morning in a l ox car. bound he knew not where. He had the few letters he had received from home, in his I� osom. together with a Testament, which he had never read, but carried only because it had been a gift from his mother. I believe I’ll write home and see how the folks are. and if—” Bump! The train had run in on a switch and stopped with a jerk. In a few minutes. John, for that was his name, knew that the engine had been cut loose.” for he could hear air escaping from a defective brake. He went to the door and saw that they were in a city, as he thought of the ordinary type. He slid out the door and started for a lunch stand not very far away. He had in his pocket just twenty-five cents, which he had saved from the enormous sum of sixty cents, which he had earned the day before, by helping load some flour at a little village. After getting a fifteen-cent lunch, he started down town, thinking he would write home with his remaining dime. Suddenly his heart almost stopj ed beating, for down the street came a team of horses running away. They were hitched to a large delivery wagon, but the thing that caused him to turn pale was the fact that right in the path of the oncoming horses was an old woman, who. when she became aware of her danger, started to run and fell. He had taken all this in at a thought and almost without knowing it he had started to run. At school he had been one of the best sprinters, and now fright seemed to lend speed to him. He saw the only chance was to swerve the horses around the old woman, so gathering himself for a spring as the horses passed him. he attempt- 1 85 CSGBtX] 31 I be honcoK'BC ed to jump on the one nearest him. As he jumped. his foot became fastened in a line and down he went. About a week later, he awoke from a long i eriod of unconsciousness and found himself in a neat, white cot in a hospital ward. White attired nurses flitted here and there. Except for a slight hurting in his head, he felt more comfortable than he had felt since leaving home. At his first movement a nurse appeared at his bedside to prevent him from rising. After giving him a few dro] s of some medicine. she told him to go to sleep and when he awoke he would see some one he knew. He immediately fell asleep and when he awoke, after what seemed to him a very short time, he lay for a long time with his eyes shut, but when he opened them, the first person he saw was an old man whose hair was beginning to turn grey. Something about him seemed familiar. and he at once recognized him as his father. He tried to speak, but found he was too weak, so all he could do was to smile. A few days later he was thought to be strong enough to hear the story. After he was picked up by two patrolmen and it was seen that he was badly hurt, an ambulance was called and he was sent to the Charity Ward. Here the letters were found in his bosom and the address of his parents ascertained. They were notified and had arrived as soon as possible, and had remained by his bedside as much as they were | ermitted. When he asked them about theold lady, whose life he had saved, they only shook their heads and looked mysteriously at each other. Three days later he was allowed to leave the ward, and accompanied by his parents. started home. After a good night’s rest at home, he started to go over the farm to see how things looked. When he came to the northern boundary of the farm, he saw a young girl coming toward him. He immediately recognized her as Mary Summers, a girl who had been a member of his graduating class and whose company he had sought on many occasions. When she saw him. she came running toward him and said he must go home with her as there was a surprise in store for him there. Not knowing whether she was in jest or earnest, he permitted himself to be led toward the house. When he entered, he recognized one of the occupants as the old lady whose life he had saved. He learned that she was Mary’s grandmother, and blushingly received her praise and thanks. John now for the first time realized that his parents were getting old. so he decided to remain on the farm and help them. Possibly he had another reason equally important, but whatever his motives, we wish him a happy and successful future. Hay Pace [ 31 ibe ttoneoK'Bt A VISIT TO THE BLUE GROTTO One day last summer, while we were in sunny Italy, we decided that we would visit the wonderful Blue Grotto, which is on the island of Capri about twenty miles from Naples. On every pleasant day a small steamer brings tourists here from Naples and Sorrento, and as soon as the lx at anchors near the foot of the great mountainous cliff, under which is the Blue Grotto, a score of row boats dart forward. buzzing and circling around us like honey-bees, each boatsman bidding for your custom. These boats are of necessity very small. Only two passengers beside the boatsman are allowed in each boat, and even if the party be but three, as in our case, it must be divided. In the Blue Grotto, as in other places of this world. Two’s company: three’s a crowd.” The reason of this is that the opening of the Grotto is so small that one who does not know its location looks for it in vain. After I had climl ed into a little lx at. with a girl whom I had never seen before, and we had gone a short distance towards the mass of rocks. 1 noticed people oddly disappearing in a hole in the rock as if they were washed in by the waves. I began to feel somewhat shaky and wondered if our undertaking were a safe one. In a short while we were at the mouth of the cave, with many other boats clustered about us. Suddenly I saw the passengers in those nearest the mouth lean back to a reclining position in the bottom of the boat The mariner then shipped his oars, seized an iron chain overhead in the entrance, and with a little splash disapi eared in the entrance. Next our turn came, and on a signal from the boatman. we too sank back in the bottom of the l oat. the mariner seized the chain and hand over hand he seemed to pull us up a small hill of water into the entrance. We were in a vertitable fairy place. I shut my eyes and opened them again, and started up with exclamations of delight. The walls, the roof and the water had assumed a color such as no painter in the world could reproduce. It did not seem like water but rather like folds of blue shimmering satin, moving around and beneath us in luminous, transparent waves. My hand, when I dipped it in this wonderful liquid, gleamed like silver. I looked all about the cave for my mother and father, for I felt somehow as if a strange spell had been cast over this place, and I had a great desire to stay close to my mother. Our boatman rowed about the cave for a little while, and we glided past the dim outlines of other boats, which looked as if they might vanish at our touch. On one side of the cave, there stood a young Italian, who begged for centimes, promising to dive for us if we l±]BQG [ 87 I ' IB I ho. ItftfWwPBf would pay him. We did so. and he dived from a large projection. As he went underneath the water he seemed as if he were a water sprite covered with shimmering silver. We were soon rowed to the mouth of the cave again, for it is not well to linger long in this bewitching place. If the sea becomes violent and block the entrance with a watery wall, an exit is impossible. Sometimes travelers are detained for twenty-four hours. So once more we were bidden to lie down in the boat and before long we heard the rattling of the chains over our heads and the grating of the boat against the sides of the opening, and with a dash of spray against our faces, we were again in the beautiful Vesuvian Bay. - Frances Freeland THE NEEDLE, THE THREAD AND THE THIMBLE The needle shouted, the thread sighed and the thimble was too much terrified to speak, for thus the story was told to me. When little Edith first liegan to sew she had a dreadful time. The dumb glass-eyed needle, the slender ever-changing body of the thread and the gold ring which the thimble held were so troublesome. Now the needle was very proud of that glass eye and. if I be not mistaken, the thread was rather vain on account of her graceful ways, and the thimble. Oh. that gold ring! And then they all quarreled. The thimble t egan with her usual complaining, which was somewhat like this: (now remember I'm only repeating what was told to me by the needle) “You're always pricking your mistress, seeing something strange with that glass eye. and I surely get tired of urging you to do your work.” And then the needle, not able to stand all this, began. Your mistress isn't so proud of you as she might be: she always hates your complaining and haughty disposition. especially because you think that you shall carry the ring. But I have come to tell you that the thread and I have changed our minds and will not be married tomorrow. neither will you carry the ring. At this, the thimble threw the ring and hit the poor needle in the eye. Ever since the time of this quarrel the needle and thimble have been enemies, and the former wears a golden ring. — Ida Norris n iTHSE nRi issi ----1 89 90 GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB ib ihe Ur ?) ar GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ (’.lee Club has hud an extensive program for the past year.

H. S. DRUM CORPS Shortly after the organization of the Hand, the Drum Corps of eight members was organized, and directed by Mr. Burton. This organization is always looked for with eager eyes at every game, and is one of the features of the evening. Before the curtain raisers, the Drum Corps marches around the Gymnasium, playing as they go. Their uniforms are red sweaters, white trousers, and red and white caps. When the game begins, they take their place at one end of the floor and play at every opportunity. The following members compose the Drum Corps: Tenor Drums Howard Allen Thomas Ard Henry Pearson John Underwood Frank Heed Joseph McMahon Gilbert Dubbcr Davis Harrison Bass Drum Earl Salyards. HIGH SCHOOL BAND The High School Band is composed of eleven members. including Mr. Burton, the director. The band was formerly organized by Prin. Montgomery, who l ecame business manager. It made its first appearance at the Washington Basket Ball game, and the audience was very much pleased with the music rendered. At the Bloomington and Shelb.vville games, the band also played, to the great satisfaction of all present. The following is the personnel of the band: Piccolo Frank Reed.

The banquet was given in the Sunday School auditorium of the Baptist church. The room was beautifully decorated in pennants and streamers of the colors of both classes. Ivy, the class flower of the Juniors, was very tastefully arranged on the tables, relieved here and there by bouquets of violets, the Senior class flower. The toast-master, Eugene Newland, called upon Ralph Wible, who gave the welcome address. A response to this was given in turn by the Senior President, Rollie Black-well, which was followed by an impromptu talk by Mr. Newland. Marguerite Whalen was called to give an address on the Junior class, which she gave very impressively and which in turn was followed by the Junior song written to the tune of “When You’re All Dressed Up and No Place to Go.” After the banquet was completed Ilene Mitchell favored her audience with The Last Word. ” The merry boys and girls, some of them enjoying their last few times together, then dejMirted to the Stone City Club hall, where a reception together with a dance was given. Here the Juniors. Seniors and Faculty whiled away the time until the “wee sma' hours.” when they departed declaring it to be the best banquet and reception ever given. Miss Louva Ray delightfully entertained the members of her class, the Seniors of 1915. with a Halloween party at her home on West Fourteenth street. The decorations were suggestive of the Halloween season with the additional touch of the school and Senior colors. One of the most enjoyable games of the evening was a Halloween hunt after which a buffet luncheon was served. i”rShRPvn™f 100 ] ]1 I be ttoncoK g[ CHRISTMAS PROGRAM I. Orchestra VI.

The many studies of the course accomplish this very well: but in order to carry this principle further, an organization for debating was established last year. 1913-14. It was decided to call it “The Debating league.” All students of the High School who were passing in their studies and members of the Athletic Association were eligible to membership in the league. Since then the league has done much excellent work and has had a marvelous growth. At present the membership is 25. Considering the interest that is manifested in this work, the league unquestionably will be a permanent department in Bedford High School. The league meets every Thursday afternoon for work. It is divided into eight teams, of three members each. The schedule of the debates that have taken place up to the present time is as follows: I. Resolved, that Indiana should hold a Constitutional Convention in 11 15. Affirmative. Team No. 2: Ruth Sherwood. Davis Harrison. Donald Webster. Rebuttal Donald Webster. Negative.

In response to this demand. Bedford High School added a new course to its work. Public Speaking. Great interest is shown in this class and it now has an enrollment of twenty-seven students. This course may l e substituted for 12A English or taken as an Elective with 12A English. The term work consists chiefly of practicable work in Public Speaking. The work covers debating, discussions, oratory, reading, impromptu speaking and study of text books on Public Shaking. The interest that is shown in this work indicates that this department will be a permanent course in Bedford High School and it is hoped that in time this work may be required before the graduation of any student. SOUTH CENTRAL ORATORICAL AND READING CONTEST The South Central Athletic and Oratorical Association was formed last year. Our contestants were Miss llene Mitchell, reader, and John Rowe, orator. The whole school thought that our reader was a sure winner, but the judges saw different and gave her fourth place. Our orator, however, came into the titles with third place. Work began at the first of this year and interest was aroused in the coming contest. The try-out for both was held on April 9th and was well attended. There were five contestants for reading and four for oratory. Ruth Norman won the reading and Ruth Stevens the oratory. The pros| ects for the South Central are very bright and we feel sure that they will do the school credit in the final contest. This will be held at Linton on May 8th. r_ — i ss rS i r r i ] 115 IB I be hoocok BI THK 1915 DEBATING TEAMS ] 9«Sf IB I be ftoreeeK BL_, BLOOMINGTON DUAL DEBATE Bloomington High School, through some source, having heard that Bedford High School had developed some very excellent debaters, began to wonder if a victory over Bedford in a debate would not taste well. Finally deciding that it would, and sincerely believing that a victory would ! e easy, they accordingly challenged lied ford H. S. to a dual debate. The question for debate being, Resolved, that the United States should take definite steps to increase her national defense. The result was that B. H. S. went to work and chose in the local try-out. out of 22 who entered, for the affirmative team: Gilbert I)ubl er. Lawrence Graves. Ruth Nor- man: for the negative team: John Rowe. Ralph Wible, Ruth Sherwood. On the 20th of March. Bloomington sent their negative team to Bedford, and Bedford sent their negative team to Bloomington, each school keeping its affirmative team at home. The delmte was held in both towns the same night with the result that Bloomington was easily defeated in both places by our teams, due to the skill in debating shown by our debaters. The vote of the judges in both places was 2 to one in favor of Bedford. It was the best debate ever held between Bedford and any other school. BEDFORD-WASHINGTON DUAL DEBATE The second of the Dual Debates held this year, was with Washington H. S. April 16th. Each school sent its negative team away and kept its affirmative team at home and the debate was held at each school at the same time. Great interest was manifested in this, inasmuch as this was the same team that defeated Bloomington H. S. on the same question: Resolved, that the United States should take definite steps to increase its national defense. The result of this debate was that Bedford scored another victory. The negative teamconsisingof John Rowe. Ralph Wible and Ruth Sherwood defeated Washington affirmative team at Washington unanimously, but Bedford affirmative team consisting of Gilbert Dubber. I«iwrence Graves and Ruth Norman was defeated by a vote of 2 to 1, thus giving to Bedford 1 votes out of 6. Both teams met strong op| osition from Washington, but. due to our skillful debaters, we were able to swing the victory our way. Further activities that will take place this year in the Public Shaking Department are as follows: In answer to a challenge issued by New Albany H. S.. Bedford H. S. will meet in a dual debate New Albany debating team in Bedford April 30th. New Albany defeated Bedford team last year by a close vote and Bedford feels that she has developed debaters this year that can’t be beaten, so we are confident of another victory. 1 isrShRrvnsi I 117 [ ]@ I be HonooK B [ A similar program was arranged for this year, and the question chosen was “How may we secure greater economic and administrative efficiency in the County Governmentof Indiar.” Eugene Newland won the local contest over seven others who tried out. March 19th our county contest composed of Mitchell. Williams and Bedford was held. Eugene Newland again won. The district contest was held April lf at Jeffersonville, where probably one of the best contests in the state was enact ed. The contest was very close fought, especially by the Jeffersonville speaker and Eugene. Our sjieaker was again victorious and the school may be justly proud of her representative. The final state contest is held at Bloomington at the University May 7th. At the time the annual goes to press we feel assured that victory awaits our contestant and our school in the final contest. This will Ik? the climax of a most successful year of Public Speaking and Debating and we feel that no line of work has been of more profit than this. THE STATE DISCUSSION LEAGUE In the school year of 1913-14 a High School Discussion League was formed under the auspices of the Extension Division of Indiana University. This was very successful. Local, county, congressional and last state contests were held. Our speaker last year. Gilbert Dubber. won this county but lost in the district to the Jeffersonville contestant. 1SI±IBIZVC1 118 LETICg 119 OFFICERS OF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 1914-15 The Bedford High School Athletic Association passed through its second highly successful year. The officers for the year were Paul Huff, President: Maurice Woods. Vice-President: Ralph Wible. Treasurer: John Emery. Secretary: Faculty member. E. W. Montgomery. Over $1,000 were handled by the Association. New suits were purchased for the basket ball team. The district tournament was pushed by it. New bleachers were installed in the gymnasium. All debating and public speaking contests were managed by it. The special train to Bloomington was procured by it. Besides this, all athletic contests were held under its control. These things are enough to show that the A. A. is the chief booster’s club of B. H. S.. and it is the A. A. that makes ali these events possible. So it is up to the school to get out and boost it for the sake of old B. H. S. 120 121 IB ibe Honoor' S BASKET BALL 1914-15 The basket ball team representing the High School for the season of 1914-15 played through the hardest schedule that was ever arranged for a Bedford team and probably for any southern Indiana team. The team was one of the best that ever represented the school. It had defeats, but it also had victories. It played in poor form sometimes, but we must not forget the times that they showed themselves of real class. So. although they might have done better, they certainly deserve credit for what they did do. Coach Montgomery was an essential factor in the building of this year’s team. No coach ever worked harder than he did. He fought every game through and never even thought about giving up. In the heat of a game he would inject the necessary “pep’’ by his own forcefulness. Here’s hoping that he is the coach next year. To start the season there were five letter men from last year and a wealth of material from the league teams of last year. The squad that was chosen to start the season consisted of the following players: Sprout), Wible. Huff, Hays. I ane. Emery and Woods. Later in the season Patton and Thomas were added to the squad. The forwards were Sprout). Huff. Woods and Thomas. The guards. Hays. Wible and I.ane. The centers. Patton and Emery. This team played a schedule of twenty games. They [ looked good from the start and showed good form for the first six games. The team then struck a slump, playing good ball at times, but falling down at other times. They came out of this nicely and won the last four games on the schedule. Three of these games were away from home. The prospects for the District Tournament, to be held in our gymnasium, were exceedingly bright. But you never can tell in basket ball. Switz City, our first opponent, and a supposedly weak one. proved to be a “dark horse.” The team with the substitutes in was completely surprised. It never recovered from the first shock and was defeated by a twenty point margin. It was a disastrous finish, but ours is not the only team that was surprised in this manner. So. although it is to be regretted that the team did not show better in the tourney we must not judge it wholly by that. Another thing worthy of mention in connection with this year’s team is the strong support rendered the team by the students and the outsiders. A rooting souad was developed that was hard to beat and they could always be depended on to be there. The townspeople also supported it well. They not only pulled for victories but supported it financially as well. In connection with the support rendered, we may say that the season was a great financial success. In closing, let us remember that although it is great to win it is no disgrace to lose. There is a great deal of credit in the fact that the team could take defeat as well as victory and fight just as hard the next time. Let us be proud of the team then and to show it: Nine for the Team” now. and make it big. 1 122 31 ibe ItoioeeK il RECORD ms Odon 8 It. H. S. 55. Place. Bedford. In a very one sided game B. H. S. defeated Odon H. S. to the tune of 55-8. It was the first api earance of the 1914-15 team and they sure did look Rood. Seymour 11 B. H. S. 14. Place. Bedford. This name was very close and was only won in the last few minutes of play. The scoring was light on both sides, the score at the end of the first half being 4-1, in favor of B. H. S. With two minutes to play of the last half the score stood 11-6 in favor of Seymour. Bing! Bing!! Bing!!! Bing!!!! Four baskets right on a straight and the game was over and won. Kokomo 16-B. H. S. 13. Place. Bedford. In the first game with a northern team the team showed up well. The first half they did not hit their stride, the score at the half time being 14-4 in favor of Kokomo. They came back strong in the last half, not allowing Kokomo a field goal and scoring nine points themselves. Crawfordsville 23 B. H. S. 24. Place, Bedford. This was probably the fastest and best played game of the year. Both teams went strong and the score seesawed back and forth. At the half the score stood 17-9 in favor of B. H. S. With about two minutes to play of the last half the score stood 23-22 in favor of Crawfordsville. Then Preach” came through with one of those one hand-ed-hooks of his and it was all over. Paoli 17—B. H. S. 46. Place. Bedford. The team took Paoli into camp easily. The game was featured only by the large scoring of Sproullie.” who caged thirteen field goals. Clinton 20 B. H. S. 16. Place. Bedford. This was one of the fastest and best games of the year. The score at half time stood 8-7 in favor of B. H. S. The team played splendidly. It was a game that any team could have been proud to have played in. win or lose. Bloomington 48 B. H. S. 19. Place. Bloomington. Special train. 200 rooters. Score Bloomington 48. B. H. S. 19. Nuff sed. Orleans 14 B. H. S. 37. Place. Bedford. In a last half come-back the team showed that they could play ball once in a while. It was 8-5 in favor of Orleans the first half. No use to say anything about the second half. I ?banon 39 B. H. S. 6. Place. I ebanon. In the first game of the northern trip the team was defeated by a large score. They fought hard, but were unable to stem the tide of defeat. Thorntown 27 —B. H. S. 6. Place. Thorntown. The score looks l� d. but it doesn’t tell the story. The game was played in a very small gymnasium that was I— ' 1 KnRrvi! |-' I 123 3 a I be Honce §[ very inadequate. The score stood 10-5 in favor of Thorn-town at the end of the first half. The last half they nulled away strong. The team probably never fought a harder game. Shelbvville 28- B. H. S. 9. Place. Shelbyville. In the third and last game of the northern trip the team suffered another defeat. Every man on the team was in a slump except Wible who played a brilliant guarding game. Seymour 27— B. H. S. 15. Place. Seymour. In the return game at Seymour we last our fourth consecutive game. Chances looked good for a victory until Wible was forced to leave the game on account of an injury. The team started a rally in the last and drew up within four points of the winners but were unable to continue. Shelbyville 40 B. H. S. 24. Place. Bedford. The fifth consecutive game was lost to Shelbyville in their return date here. The team did not play up to standard and disap]M inted the home crowd very much. Washington 10 B. II. S. 41. Place. Bedford. Victory at last and with two regulars out of the game. Lane and Woods with the responsibility put upon them fought like demons. They, with Hays. Sproull and Wible. the only five able to play, literally swept the Washington team off its feet. Vincennes 25 B. H. S. 21. Place. Bedford. The team was unable to come through with another victory the following week. The players were not in the best of condition and could not respond when called ui on. Bloomington 26 B. II. S. 11. Place. Bedford. The team simply did not play basket ball. They acted as dazed. After the first few minutes the Bloomington team seemed to be in no danger. Patton made his first appearance on the first team and played splendidly. It was a hard one to swallow but it had to be done. The record crowd of the season was there, about 750 being in attendance. Washington 24 B. H. S. 26. Place. Washington. The so-called rough-neck quarrvmen were too much for the Washington team even on their own floor. Washington has a splendid floor and it was a hard fought game. The game was won by a rally in the last six minutes of the last half when B. H. S. scored 13 to their opponents’ 1. Hays was the main cog in the machine in this game, scoring five field goals and eight fouls. Salem 16- B. H. S. -13. Place. Bedford. In an easily won game with Salem with practically no features. Every member of the team played fast and the whole squad got in the game. Orleans 13 B. H. S. 18. Place. Orleans. On the night following the Salem game another victory was gained. The Orleans team was defeated on their own floor, although the team played rather sluggishly. Salem 13- B. H. S. 16. Place. Salem. In the last game of the regular season, after fighting the team and the crowd both, the team finally came out victorious and brought home the first victory ever won on the Salem floor by a Bedford team. [ ischBf? i ] 124 “JOHNNIE.” CAPTAIN PREACH” Captain Emery played center most of the year, but also proved very efficient as a forward. He stood at all times for hard work and hard training. Mis generalship in directing the team was a great factor in winning games. His guarding work on the Thorntown floor will be long remembered. Lane, although lacking in weight, made up for it in fighting spirit. He could always lx? depended upon to fight from whistle to whistle. He played a fast game at floor guard. 4 n HAPPY” 1 Huff played at goal forward this year and his last goal in the Craw fordsville game will not lx? soon forgotten. neither will his famous hook shot” at Thorntown. 125 Hays played hard, consistent ball throughout the year at floor guard. His “five straight” at Washington are still bright in the memory of the fans. George has been elected captain of next year’s team and is expecting a a winner. “GAWGE” “FOXY” Woods played a hard game at floor forward and was always an important factor in guarding and team play. He was also noted for breaking up opposing plays. Sproull, this year, developed into one of the fastest floor forwards in the State. He was in the game at all times from whistle to whistle and one of his favorite pastimes was going through two guards fora basket. He also had a specialty of breaking up the plays of the opposing team. 1 SPROULLIE” 126 ”PAT” “AT” Patton joined the first squad late in the season but proved a tower of strength at center in the later games with his 1% pounds. Patton will lx? back next year and is expected to form an important part of next year’s scoring machine. Wible. the plucky back guard, was in the game at all times. His stellar work under the goal spoiled many a basket for the opposing teams. He was also an important factor in the team work, and in breaking up the opposing plays. SHORTY Thomas because of lack of previous basket ball experience. did not get to play in many of the games, but his work showed promise of his ability to develop into a fast lloor forward. 127 ••COW “Cow” is one who always could tret the yell when encouragement was needed. He will leave a place hard to fill next year. THE YELL LEADERS MUTT” Mutt.” always a favorite with the rooters, never had to call twice for a yell.

LEAGUE I ib ibe heioeeK- 0[ BASKET BALL LEAGUE The opening of the basket hall season was welcomed by over sixty boy's, who reported to a meeting which was called. Since last year's basket ball league proved to be very efficient in bringing to light all promising material for the varsity squad, the system was immediately put into action. The nine league teams formed were matched as nearly equal as possible, in order that those who had not participated in this branch of athletics heretofore, might have the same chance of showing up as the more experi-enced candidates. These teams practiced on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and when interscholastic contests were held at home, they played the curtain-raiser games, which were always interesting and hard fought. Under the coaching of Mr. Burton the teams developed rapidly. The league tournament closed the season. It was conducted in the same manner as the state tournament, the winning team receiving a beautiful silver loving cup. The week of March loth was scheduled as the time of the Boys’ League Tournament. There were two teams each afternoon, thus eliminating two teams each day. After the elimination of the other teams, teams 6 and 7 remained to contend for the championship of the league. The final game was played for the cup and number 7 came out on the top side of a 17-12 score, but only after a hard fight. Both teams displayed remarkable team-work throughout the game. Crowe was the individual star for No. 6, while Strout was the center of activity on No. 7. LINELT. No. 7 No. 6 After due consideration, the following were agreed upon Cecil Childs F Ferrell Crowe as the best.

At first there were just two teams to play against each other. They fought many hard battles and had a great deal of experience over the two teams formed at second semester. They worked hard for the tournament promised them. This was held at the end of their season. The winner was team one and the following is the line-up: Marie Brown, c.

S. for many years. In our | one dual meet we defeated Paoli 89-10. Patton. Muff and Hays showed up well in this meet. Mr. Montgomery coached the team and certainly turned out a dandy. In the South Central track meet held at Washington May 9. 1914. we made a very good showing. Washington walked away with the meet with 80 points. They later won the state championship. We tied Linton for second place with seventeen i oints apiece. Sullivan came in last with three points. But this was not the best of it. Patton won the individual championship with thirteen points. He won first in both the running high jump i and the running broad jump, and second in the shot-put. Hays won second in the mile 1 . J and Huff third in the quarter. j ’ v7 This year prospects are letter than ever for a winning track meet. Patton is l«ick 'M better than ever. Hays is cutting the time in the mile and the half-mile every day. Be j sides these, two new men of state championship material have turned up. They are Pace ; J who is a good all around man and Stephenson who is pushing Hays in the distances. The I j other men on the team are Walker. Salyards, Pearson. Drehoble. Branaman and Harrison. •J il In the first dual meet of the year the track team walked away from Bloomfield to the w tune of 83-34. Patton was individual championship with 33 points. Pace was next with 22 points. Hays was first in both mile and half. Some very good time was made. We also won the relay in a walk. Prospects certainly are bright for the coming meets. Our next meet is with Evansville April 24th. May 8th is the South Central at Linton and May 15th the state meet at Indianapolis.
