Eiclienberger, ‘11 Mrs. Albert Wintcregg, ‘12 Ernest .1. Stengel, ’12 Just twenty-five years ago Berne High School had its first graduates. Four years later on the evening of March 8. 1905, members of the graduating classes of 1901, 1902, 1903. and 1904 met at the home of Peter Soldncr for the purpose of organizing an Alumni association. Martha Schug, Nora Smith, and Asa Sprungcr were appointed members of the committee on constitution for the purpose of drawing up a constitution and by-laws for this association. The first officers were: President. Amanda Soldner, 01; Vice-President. Nora Smith, ’02; Secretary. Ada Wittwer. ‘02; Treasurer. Martha Schug, ‘01. (1. A. Lehman, ’04. was the member on the executive committee. The first banquet was given for the class of 1905 on April 28, at the home of I). S. Wittwer. We greatly appreciate the vision of those early graduates in organizing this Alumni Association which has inspired many hoys and girls to receive an education and which has had a great influence on each succeeding graduating class. Today our Alumni Association has grown to a membership of three hundred seventy, including this year’s graduating class. Many of these have continued their education in higher institutions of learning, others are scattered in different lands and different climes living true to the ideals which were implanted in their hearts while attending dear old Berne High. A large variety of vocations arc represented among our Alumni. There are teachers, preachers, professors, nurses, missionaries and many others. Years have passed since many of us have attended high school. Nevertheless, we feel a deep-seated interest and concern in the welfare of every boy and girl in school and we arc confidently expecting the members of this year’s graduating class and every other graduating class in the future to be loyal to our ideals and principles and to cherish in their hearts a determination to live lives which will serve the perpetuation of these, our standards, Shakespeare has said: 'To thine own self be true. And it must follow as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man.” Great changes have been brought about since the first members of our Alumni Association have graduated from high school. However, our precepts and ideals have not changed. We have always stood for all that is good and honorable and during all the years of our existence we have emphasized just those things which make for true citizenship. Let us then be true to the responsibilities which we as members of the Berne High School Alumni Association must meet. FRIEDA LEHMAN, 13. i i i r t mxsxut.

Our guide tor tins year, Miss Lucille Amstutz. had announced that we were now half way up the mountain. This year we decided to write a pamphlet, which we called the Budget, to relate the events and happenings of our trip as we went along. This paper proved to be a great success. We still climbed from platform to platform, meeting many obstacles as we passed over the gigantic clitfs and gorges. The soil here was sandy, carpeted with a thick layer of pine needles. The awful depths below our path were stirred by the music of the rushing river: its great trees waving and whispering; its shadows, purple, gray and brown, and its seen fringes of green pines were all very beautiful. EXCURSION IV Our number had now increased to thirty-four as four members of another party had decided to join ours. This time we chose Mr. Elmer Liechty to guide us to the end. Although our path now was often wet and rocky, with perhaps a steep precipice close to it, we were eager to reach the summit in order to see what awaited us there. The last climb no longer looked as precipitous to us as it had two years earlier. Tins year our band published a book which we called Our Yesterdays . This book gave the history of our four years' adventure. It was bought by our friends back home who were interested in us and wished to learn the success of our trip. We had to travel steadily to be able to reach the top by May 20. 1926. Yet each year we would halt long enough for some rest and recreation. Track always seemed to meet our needs best. A contest had been staged among the members of the party during the entire four years. This consisted of the various records for the ability of climbing. At the end of the journey. Miss Nova Lehman was declared to be the one who had been most successful in overcoming the most obstacles and who had withstood the trip best. Miss Ruth Speicher won second place. We arrived at the top by the appointed time. As we looked over the cliffs down to the level plane far below, each one of us saw paths leading upward that were more direct than the ones we had chosen. If we were to climb again the same mountain whose peak we have just attained, we in many instances would expend our energy in a different manner than we did the first time, but we are J y no means at our final destination. What appeared to us to be the top of the mountain while we were yet below is only one of the larger steps. The major part of the mountain is still ahead of us. This part of the climb was hidden in the clouds from us four years ago. Now that we are here and can look farther ahead we see that the remainder of the climb will need more foresight than was needed in our four years’ climb. Yet with this experience we have, and with the opportunities and possibilities that are before us, we enter into our new life, anticipating a climb which will be a success to each of us.

The dull grey of the morning cast a very dismal gloom over the little hamlet nestled deep in the Cat skill mountains of northern Xew York. Main street looked very uninviting with its large frame buildings scattered down both sides of the wide dusty street and the whole scene presented a spirit of extreme lonesomeness. lhe little roadster, which had been serving so faithfully the entire night climbing steep hills and traveling over very rough, almost impassable roads, began to puff and resent further travel, undoubtedly the strain was too great for the little wagon and it decided to start a mutiny which forced me to come to a standstill. Four o’clock in the morning and 1 was still two hundred miles from Yew York City, stranded in a little rural town with no sign of a hospital for my little speed wagon. Sitting on the running board trying to think of some way to get old Lizzie started, my mind began to wander and before I was fully aware of the fact 1 found myself getting real lonesome for my little family back in Illinois sleeping my cares away as they were the natives of this lonesome little settlement. W hy I should ever have tried to undertake such a seemingly foolish venture as this was beyond my conception. After graduating from my old Alma Mater. Herne High School. I went to work for a local printing establishment and after a comfortable sum of money had been saved I married and left the dear old home town for Scircleville, a small town of approximately four thousand inhabitants, nestled deep in the rich farmland of southern Illinois on the banks of the Mississippi. Scircleville afforded splendid advantages for a new printing shop so I invested what little capital we had in a new but rather small shop. For the last fifteen years I have been doing a very profitable business and now a new. large, up-to-date printing establishment can be called my own. Just fifteen years after our commencement day who should happen into my shop but W illard Sprungcr, now a strikingly good looking young man who was selling goods for a large clothing establishment located in Indianapolis. Having heard I was located in Scircleville, Billy decided to come in and revive fond old memories of high school days. In the course of our little chat I decided to take a month's vacation from business and gather tip all the data I could on the other members of our class then publish my report and send each one of the members one of these publications. Billy said W aldo Stauffer was located on a large dairy farm near Berne and. what's more, he captured one of our old classmates as a helpmate, namely Elvira Lehman. I also learned that W ittwer and Fanning, the latter also one of our class, were operating a tea shop in Columbus, (). Billy says they’ve got a Rolls Royce and everything, hm! Adolph Liechty, our former class comedian, was President of the Universal Hobo College at Hoboken, Xew Jersey. i« h - 28 )■ - -� � «� Oi� r Y ester tonmnnnttmcgTO I . y y v . y y. .v.

My reverie had again wakened me to the fact that 1 was hound for Xew York in search for news regarding the whereabouts of my former classmates and that my journey had been halted due to a balking flivver. W alking down the wide, dusty street in quest of a garage. I noticed a large sign, in bold letters was written. “Hotel Comfortable”. The building on which the sign had been placed seemed very much out of place in this little village as it was a great frame structure built in the old English style. Having noticed that an old gentleman had just opened the door and being rather hungry and fatigued I decided to get a bite to eat and perhaps rest awhile till my Lizzie could again be coaxed into moving. On entering the hotel I noticed a very large room with shelf after shelf of books on the side of the room which seemed very unusual for a hotel. The entire room was decorated with bunting as though some great celebration were about to be held there. “Jumping Jehosaphat! what in the world are you doing here. W innie?” came from a voice in back of me and the next thing I knew I was in receipt of a stiff right hook to the ribs. Rather angry and amazed at this extremely ridiculous form of greeting I wheeled about and. why Sambo—Sambo Liechty? Yes. there was no mistaking him. it was Elmer Liechty. “I thought you were a noted lawyer in Washington. Sam. how does it happen you’re away out here in this little stick in the mud? “This is what I call my lodge, but as there is no other hotel in this vicinity 1 merely advertise this as a hotel to accommodate some traveler that might happen bv. W hen 1 am not here for hunting and fishing I keep a man here to run the hotel for me,” said Elmer. “But what made you journey out this way?” I related to him mv mission and he seemed quite interested and even invited me to stay there till lie got things packed and ready so he could come along. “Have you seen Abe yet since you’re in town?” “Abe, do you mean Harmon Bagiev, the famous W isconsin coach? “Sure, lie’s right here in Mildew operating a garage.” ‘A garage? Say, I’m in luck. I've got my little wreck up the street a ways and she flatly refuses to move, but before I go tell me about some of the other graduates.” “Well, have you been reading the articles on “How to .Get Rich in Colliers Magazine lately? Carl Stuckey and Kermith Baumgartner have just recently patented a machine to extract gold from the ocean and they have both made millions by it and now they’re writing these articles in Colliers. Carl Stuckey and Kermith Baumgartner, that sounded rather—well anyway I guess Kermith and the “Hello” girl hooked up. Count Henry Ehrsam recently married the Countess of Castleburry and is now located in the Montimarte. in Baris, where he is chief and official bouncer. Almost m ii :hi n ur i esicraays i daily his name can he found in ihe headlines of the Paris newspapers giving an account of some heroic deed lie has accomplished with his superhuman strength. Since he wrested the heavyweight championship from Jack Dempsey in Xew York five years ago. he has forfeited his championship to the countess, who he says has outslugged him daily. Hank says the Countess continually mistakes him for a battering ram. I learned from Sambo that Flora had deserted him and sought her future happiness in Hartford township away hack in Indiana. Viola Lusk and Xova Lehman are both instructors in the Leland-Stanford University of California. Ruth Speicher and her hitter half are nestled deep in the Ozark mountains living a happy married strife. Class of 1925. is a forest ranger so Ruth lives away up in one of those big bird houses. Lucille Amstutz is still as headstrong as ever, refusing to acknowledge any affections whatever from any of the opposite sex. She is private secretary to William Wrigley, Jr., in Chicago. Lima Moser is accomplishing great things with her pallette and brush, and rumors are that she has taken a BIG baby to care for. I had found out about all that Sam knew regarding the scattering of our class so after he directed me to Abe’s garage I bade him farewell. The sun was well up in the skv when I set forth from the ‘‘Hotel Comfortable for Abe's garage, which I noticed several doors down the street. As I neared the garage two little tots, one with a beautiful mass of golden curls and the other with curly black hair, ran towards me but on a closer view of me they shyed back which was quite natural, saying “Daddy is in there, pointing to the garage entrance. Abe was quite surprised at seeing me and after an exchange of greetings I asked why he had quit the coaching to enter the garage business. He told me then that after he had graduated front Illinois University he successfully coached the Wisconsin Badgers through three big ten championships in both football and basket-ball, but had decided to take a much needed rest so he went to Decatur, and. well, miff sed, and came to Mildew, a quiet spot where he ran the garage merely because he had it as a hobby and loved to tinker with cars. Abe soon had my “cyclone chug chuggin' smoothly again and after stopping at the hotel for a refreshment I resumed my journey to the city. From Abe I had learned that Freeman Burkhalter and Verdi Reusser were touring Europe giving concerts with their violins, while Elizabeth I labegger was in charge of their music school in Baris. Elizabeth, now a world-famous soprano, was also conducting a singing school. After a day of hard driving I reached Albany and in order to rest myself from the tiresome journey I had just experienced. I went to the Capitol theater. As is customary the Bathe news was shown first and to my great surprise I saw pictured on the screen two candidates on the Farm Labor party, namely Perl Steiner and Lester 11 user. i ; 3 i I 2 «S(30fr- 4 If (s - ntt .

As our first guide we chose Naomi Stucky. Our class possessed great orators, poets, musicians, and athletes. With a little more development they will become famous. ( ur class enjoyed a few parties through the year. This field of activities was opened with an initiation party, sponsored by the Seniors. Nevertheless, we were all able to survive. 1 he beginning of our Sophomore year found our class diminished by a few members. Nevertheless, we began to put on a hold front among our upper classmen. Now it was our turn to see green among us. By this time we were reaching the midd e of the ocean. Winifred Aeschliman and Barbara Burry served as the captains of the ship. We often came into contact with storms in many of our classes, but we were able to drag through that year until vacation. By September we found that vacation was over, and we must again resume our duty. The ocean seemed a sky blue. Our leader for this year was Ivan Sprunger. The other assistants were: Vice-President. Dorothy Bar.mgaitner: Secretary. Barbara Burry; Treasurer. Grant Smith. Never did a clas possess such pep. Activities immediately began to call for onr attention. We as a class decided to publish a Budget in which school business was related. Ira Lehman was chosen as the head of the affair. We decided to give some humorous sketch to liven up the school year. We. therefore, chose a cast and presented the Piivate Secretary . The audience seemed well pleased with the presentation. Athletics was another field of activities that we entered. Although we lost the interclass games in 1 asket-1 all. we challenge any class next year to a game. Our number was strengthened at the beginning of the second semester by the midyear Juniors. Many of these will become prominent in our class through their efforts. Next year we intend to finish our ocean trip and land safely on the shore of life. LEW ELLYN STUCKY, '27. Your Own Free Will There is no law to make you work Or do your duty every day: Nobody said that you must sing Or go a-whistling all the way: You're not required to help along When someone needs a helping hand; Nor do you have to greet a one With joyful lips or hearty hand. But how much pleas'nter it is to live When all contentment 'round us lays. And how much good that you can do By brightening life’s dark, lonely ways. You're not compelled to give a smile Or speak a kind and cheery word. CLIFTON LEHMAN. '28. ! - - :•{ 35 }■; - r Our Yesterdays •X- v. v. v. ,v. v. v. v v. v. v. V Y. y v.

There lingers one which makes me glad And wish once more. I was a lad. At the farther end of our large lot (Which otherwise a lonely spot). There stood a splendid apple tree. Cherished by all the family. Within its cool refreshing shade, In love and happiness arrayed. The family its visits made; And e’en pet Hover, when very hot. Its sweet and welcome shelter sought. In forked branch, with foliage dressed. The Robin built its homely nest; W hile from the topmost twig the Jay Screamed defiance many a day. The wax-wings also used to light And rest themselves from weary flight. In autumn when its fruit was ripe. The growing boys of hungry type Would climb its stately arms and try To pluck the best tho’ e’er so high. And bulge their pockets; then go some place To fill their stomach’s empty space. A cherished memory it is to me, That splendid, grateful, apple tree.

We were green at first and were sometimes treated as such by our upper classmen. Our class set a goal of learning, which through hard study we will have reached at the end of our high school career. In tile beginning of the second semester we gained twelve new members. In September, nineteen hundred and twenty five we again entered high school and were surprised to find that we had lost ten members. We find that our knowledge has increased and we feel ourselves superior to the Freshmen and take it upon ourselves to ad ise them sometimes. The following class officers were elected: President, Flixahcth Gottschalk; Vice-President. Dale Ellen! erger; Secretary and Treasurer. Inez Luginhill. A class party was held in November which was enjoyed by all present. Our c'ass supplied a few members for the Orchestra. Basket Ball, Glee Clubs, and literary work. Two of on.- fellow classmen stopped school, diminishing our nutnl er to thirty-nine. Our class is striving to raise higher the standard of Berne High School. We are constantly getting nearer the goal set in our Freshman year. KITH NEC EX SCH WANDER. ‘28. Farewell, Berne Hi Vacation time is almost here. “Pis then the bell will cease to ring. And Dan from all his cares set free Won’t have to do a single thing. There's Mr. Jeffery and his staff Of faithful teachers good and true. For all the knowledge gained this year We surely are in debt to you. The seniors who have reached their goal. Will leave ere long dear old Berne Hi. We wish to each of you success And all good things as time goes by. We have had our trials and struggles. But it has paid us in the end; For in working thus together We have become each other’s friend. The time is near when we shall part. But let us all remember That this is just a short farewell To last till next September. BERN IS BLUM, ’28.

Never was there a class with such high ideals and great determination to make this class of nineteen twenty-nine surpass all other classes of previous years. In September the literary societies chose their new members, nine falling to the lot of the Alphas, eleven to the Arenas, the remainder having been previously chosen. The latter part of our first month we had a class meeting, the following officers being chosen: President. Corinne Smith; Vice Piesidcnt, Lawrence Ilium; Secretary and Treasurer. Agnes Liechty. In October we had a Hallowe’en party. The evening was spent in playing games, after which a delicious lunch was served. On January the eighteenth, twelve Freshmen left our class and arc now Sophomores. ■Vlthough we lost twelve of our members, we joined fourteen mid-year Freshmen. Eight were chosen as Alphas and six as Arenas. The entry of these Freshmen classes gave the Seniors an opportunity to show their original ideas by initiations. The initiations lor the Freshmen were counted as real ones. But. nevertheless, in these initiations we put on a heroic look and survived through all the stunts. The officers elected for the second semester were: President. John (iottschalk: Vice-President. Ruth Winteregg; Secretary and Treasurer. Rebecca Reusser. Although we have had a green coat this year, we are beginning to realize our responsibility in pai ticipating in the academic and social affairs of the school. Our green coat wi I scale off by September of next fall and we as Sophomores will undertake jests for the next Freshmen. EARLEXE H. BAUMG RTXER, 29. Autumn Oh, Autumn. Autumn. Autumn.

The children in the yards Aie raking leaves with pleasure: While the squirrels in the tree tops Are storing away their treasure. (live me the time of the school-bell, Those good old happy days; When we meet our dear old teachers. With their kind and happy ways. e - v But this bounteous harvest All our want supplies; Let us not .he forgetful Of the One who provides. FAYE OPL1GEK. . 29. oummi mum iHiiiauui 43 f pwMHWfflwOor Y ester d aysSgg™SHSS i m Freshmen Initiation A short time after the opening of school the Freshmen received a letter resembling a puzzle, inviting them to the initiation. After a few minutes of hard studying they were able to solve it. The Seniors advised the Freshmen to wear no good clothing for fear they would have a large laundry hill charged to them. The Seniors ornamented their guests .by putting green chalk on their faces. The Freshmen were then commanded to go into another room and give their opinions of all the teachers who were present. The teachers must surely have felt flattered after hearing such flowery comments. They were then taken upstairs in the dark. The only warning given was to go slowly and carefully, after which they were put through a scries of stunts. The Seniors had obtained a barrel which was open at both ends. They had a plan in mind to make all the Freshies crawl through it. After a few thrilling experiences here they were directed to the basement where, to their consternation, a hose was turned upon them and every one received his share of the shower. I he Seniors thought they had had all the fun they could at the expense of their visitors. They then escorted the entire class on a hike through the town. This indeed worked up a good appetite for the Freshmen. A delicious lunch, consisting of sandwiches, pickles, animal crackers, and ice-cream was then served. The rough treatment was soon forgotten. The evening was made more enjoyable by good stories and toasts given by the teachers. Afterward the Freshmen bade their hosts good night and departed to their respective homes. LAWRENCE BLUM, '29. Being Initiated There was a great deal of excitement among us Freshmen on Friday. January the twenty-second, when we received our invitations to the initiation to be held the twenty-fifth. The invitations were written in green ink, and each one contained a picture of a baby. On the evening of the initiation we met at the schoolhouse quite a while before the appointed time. Precisely at seven o'clock we were led. one by one, through the dark building to the library. We were entertained on the way by Seniors making all sorts of weird noises. After spending about half an hour in the library we were taken, singly, into the corridor and blind-folded hv having paper sacks tied over our heads. Next we had our initials branded on our arm with a blow torch and a piece of ice. We were made to sit on a chair while our shoes were taken off. Stones were put in them, and they were put back on our feet again. After being placed on our feet, and given a start we were told t« follow our noses. Next thing we found ourselves head first in the waste paper basket. Our sacks were tlu-n taken off, and we were laid on the operating table, while a liberal supply of water was sprinkled over our face and clothes. We were also made to kiss the dictionary which was nothing more than a board of dampened soot. Next we were led to a chair beside a machine that spit out sparks and flashes, while a piece of ice was dropped down our hacks. We were then told to come and get our milk, which was a pan of starch, into which our arm was thrust. After another short wait in the library we were blindfolded again, given an aeroplane ride, and made to jump over a box. Everyone then repaired to the science room, and we Freshmen were asked to recite something or sing a song to which quite a few responded. The time was spent in this way until refreshments were served. About ten-thirty the party broke up. and the guests went home, pronouncing the initiation a great success, which it surely was.

Y, ,v. v, V- iV Y-t A A 7v TV A A 7T The Path of School Life As a small child begins school work in the primary, he is entering tlie door of train- ing that affords many opportunities to make his life a success. Little does this child realize the many hardships of school life that are entwined with the joys of youth. Some children even feel handicapped from the freedom of childhood by being required to enter school life. Knowledge, when once obtained, cannot he taken away as money often is. Abraham Lincoln did not possess much wealth, but he was always eager to get all possible knowledge. Many are the incidents of Lincoln’s life when he .borrowed books. Thus, if each child would have an enthusiasm for learning, compulsory laws of education would he unnecessary and the mental initiative would he practiced in the Democracy of the United States. The fundamentals of this knowledge are taught in the home and in the primary grades of school. The primary and first grade consists of the average six-year-old child. Some of these have had only one semester's work. Here the child begins a certain amount of reading and memory work. Small arithmetic problems are visualized to cause attraction and at the same time there is a definite clearness which helps the child to grasp the idea immediately. In the second grade the pupil has advanced in the lines of study. Spelling is another phase of work that the child must undertake. His own individual art work is becoming a very interesting subject. If the child is promoted in all of his work he is advanced to the third grade where history is added to his studies. By this time some principles of character are implanted into the lives of the pupils. In the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, geography and language are two advanced studies. The pupils then begin to learn of the features of the earth and begin to see the size of this earth compared with objects of enormous size on the earth. The Mother 'Longue is taught to pupils at this age. thus enabling them to have better relations with man. In this period the activities of school life commence. Some of the boys enter basket-ball or track stunts. Also the literary field begins to call pupils with oratorical or musical abilities. Thus, talent may be developed in the early period of life. A child that enters the seventh grade is immediately called to the attention of the two literary societies, the Hoosiers and the Banners. These societies give alternating programs every two weeks. Not only talent may be exhibited and developed, but also business undertakings. Officers must be elected to serve as a committee in preparing programs. I bis dcvelopes parliamentary law among the pupils. Again the athletic field must not be neglected. Work is much easier if the instrument is a strong, healthy body. The two societies in the seventh and eighth grades have very interesting games. The Hoosiers were successful in winning the game this year, but. nevertheless, enthusiasm and rivalry ranked high in both societies. Therefore, not only the mental side of life is developed, but also the physical and moral; by treating opponents with respect the moral side is developed. The eighth grade again occupies the old room in the school building. The floor space was too small at the Auditorium for such a large group of pupils. There are several teachers in charge of the classes because Mr. H. B. Hoffman has charge of music in the high school, and is. therefore, unable to serve at all times. Even though a boy or giil has graduated from Junior High there yet remains an opportunity to graduate from high school and college. Knowledge is a keynote to success. To the youth, this advice may be given. Think of yourself as on the thrcshhold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve, achieve.” A certain amount of opposition is a great help to man; kites rise against and not with the wind. Opposition will be great to swerve the student from obtaining an education. But a success over these oppositions will strengthen the character for the battles of life. : : : : : : : : : : I - ■� ■( 50 } - ACTIVITIES i 8 v7 x i ’n:-ri v iiai:i DDiiDjjDdxD hi iiiDiudiubD DjqenjEA isotu diji iudt|i SuiaiS jo abav duo si uopeDqqnd l001!- e pue ’ j joav spjq jpqi joj poddiubo jDiiDq DiuoDDq oj looips ptiDiie S|idn(i sdssbjd DDJIJI Dtp JO IJDED oi iBDjg St SUOliBDqqttd |OOIJDS JO DtqBA Dtp iBlJl plltj DAV IUIUU[V pUB ’SlUDJEd ‘SJldlUl Dtp OJ SllJDUDq pttB SDSeiUBApe DSDtp ||B Stlizueiuiuns A'q ’DJOJD1DIJ J DDllDlJDdXD DJOttl pBlJ SlUABlJ jDije pDDupojd Dsotp qipv siduiDpe isjy jjDtp jo sttopDitpojd A'jejDiq uavo jidiji djimIiuod oi D[(|B D(| OS|B AE tit ADt| [ JOOl|DS SlUptlDiP; DJB A Dtp DJ11JAV DjdODd JDSimOA Dtp JO SDplApDB pue SDSeiUBApe Dip ijiiav ttiDip DjedtuoD oi Djqe djb pue SD3eiueAj E pue sXep jooqDS ita o jidiji |p;DDj adij | ‘ttiDip oi S� u jisdjdiu( djb t|D;i|A ’sjDded Dtp til ptmoj DJB ua o JIDIJI JO SDDlIDJJUDDO JEJUUI AJOUIDUl OJ |Di:q lljgllOjq DJB DJ(| JOOIJDS JDllIJOJ JtDtp JO SDSdtUl[3 suojieDqqnd dsdiji Jiuipeoj ajj uiuiujy Dtp se tiAvouq djb oqw SDieupejS jduijoj Dtp oi suopeDqqud jooqDS jo ujDUDq jo Dn|EA Dtp si iBq. ., jse abui da ||B jo isb'j •UOliBDUpD pile 3lllUJEDJ JO pBOJ Dtp gllOJE JDtpJBJ ptlB JDIJ1JEJ pABJi ADlJl SB pDpUUUpEOjq DJOttl ollUUoDDq lIDJjqilJD JIDIJI DAS Oi pD BJliODUD AJIBDJo pOJ pue pej3 djb a'dij j DDepl djjbi tpupw soSuetp Dtp ddijoii pue ij)a oj3 |bjudiu jpqi qDiBA ADlJl op DSIAVDJjq ‘UDjpijtjD JtDtp jo qjAVOjg JBDISA'tjd Dtp IJDlBAV SllIDJBd Dtp S ’ ’llDjpj;i|D JtDtp JO SDptAIlDB JOOIJDS Dtp qijA IDEIUOD JDSop lit DtUOD SllIDJBd Dtp SJDCled |OOtpS Dtp JO SUBDIU A JJ SitlDJBd Dtp Oi SUOpBDl|qnd [OOtps JO DU|BA Dtp JDJMSlIOD iXDll SU JD-J dj;sd|) JtDtp st letp ji qjow tpns joj pDijqenb JDiiDq Dq pue SJodedsAVDii JDtpo jo sjDqsqqud Dtp SttiiuojjuoD sDii[UDiyip Dip ptteisjDpuu oi Djqe JDiiDq Dq [||a ADtp ‘sjDded juo jo ieqi se jjbis neuis e no uontsod e jjy oi Dpp; Siuoq a'jj jjjoav JDdedsAVDu je ptieq jpqj SuiAJi joj Aituiujoddo tie j d.udddj dabi| jDded Dtp joj s|etJDjeui uiqsiujnj pue guiqsqqnd sjulnd dsoij j sj;dnd |ooqDS Dt[i oj SDlieuiBApe ssDutsnq Dtp Aptus [|eqs da ptioDDS •jooijds Dip jo llJDUDq Dtp JOJ |)DSUEl{DXD Dq A'jDDJJ ABUI SBD|� l AJBJDiq DJDIJAV dllJSpUDjJJ D|lSB[OqDS -jdiu| in: Suisnojt: snip ‘sjDded DliueijDXD X||Bjdud3 sjootps itiDJDjyjQ •spitiiu jptp tit pDAIADJ D([ JD|B[ ABUI SABp [OOlpS qSll[ SllttlJDDUOD iSDJDlllI JO SIDBJ AllBUt SjDded DSDIJI JO uo;jDD[|OD e SuidDDq a'«j -dji| jdib| joj Suiuibj) D[ [eu|BA daidddj aba sup tit put; sduiaiidb AJBJDiq ill iUDIDtJJD DJOttl DlllBDD([ UDip S[| itHl DSDl| | ABA iSD [ Dtp III iJt;d JfDlp 0[) Oi pjBA joj ttiDip sdMju sd|1|ju|b Ii;d D| |B[ii;ab ua o JtDtp uodn SutpuDclDp XiniqisuodsDj jbdi B JO DS[)D|A Oliq Dl| I 'A[JBD[D quiqi oi JDA 0 1 SJldlld Dip UDqiotIDJiS oi ptIDi S|t:tJDlBUt isd [ Dtp tpjAv it iiuiA|ddns jo Aiqt([isuodSDj Dtp pue jodcd e tpns jo uopeDi|qn l dijj •lllDtp Oi SitJDUDq JO DU | BA AJBJDiq Dtp JDpISUOD SU JD| iSJl.| ;S|tdjHl Dtp ( i SUOjlBDq -qnil [ooqDs ipus jo dujba Dtp st n:t[. .. iuD|q'ojd sup iptu [� djuojjuod djb dav a o ’JOOtps Dtp jo sitiDiuDADiqDB JDipo a'ubiu pue ‘sSttqtDDDojd DtiD|qie s jbda ised Dip jo jjjoddj e •SJOlUDg Dip JO DSOtp SB ||DA St: S||dtul JDipo Dtp JO SDtiqtqt: AJBJDiq iSDCJ Dtp jo SDjdtUBXD •SDDjgq)Dd JtDtp qilA SJDtpBDl Dtp JO SDUIBtl ‘SDJtUDu!

Beside the book review and the music three impromptu speeches were given. “The Humor of Mark Twain , by Klmer Liechty; “The Man John 1). Rockefeller’’, by Lester Huser. and “The Golden Rule , by Flora Egle. The critic’s report was given by Ellison Xeuenschwander. On February 19. a program was given in honor of George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. The program was opened with a selection by the Arena orchestra members, after which followed a character sketch of each of the above named Presidents. A vocal solo with violin obligato was well presented by Elizabeth Habegger. Our debt to Washington and Lincoln was expressed by Ellison Xeuenschwander and Adolph Liechty. A violin duet was given as a closing number. Inez Luginhill criticized the program. In order that each society could give an equal number of programs, members of both societies participated in a concluding program. The program was opened by a humorous reading by Celia Sprunger. The audience was then favored with a few selections by a string trio. The public speaking class was represented by three declamations. Other musical numbers were given by a quartette and Verdi Reusser, who rendered a violin solo. The most interesting feature of the afternoon was the Indian Club Exercises by Mr. Diltz. Both societies joined into a contest on March 26. 1926. Although the Alphas were successful in winning the cup from the Arenas, we are hoping for a successful year in 1926-1927. The Arenas won first place in the vocal solo, the oration, the reading and the girls’ quartette. Xevcrtheless. each contestant should be complimented for his excellent work.

Viola Lusk was the critic of this program. The Alpha Male Quartet made its first appearance on the second program. Very interesting and new features of this program were the extemporaneous speeches which proved to.be helpful as well as amusing. Other musical and literary numbers of the program were vocal solo, music talk, reading and essay. The criticisms and remarks were given by Nova Lehman. The Arena and Alpha societies united in giving a Christmas program. The members of both societies displayed good talent, especially the Boys’ and (iirls’ Glee Clubs, under the direction of Mr. H. B. Hoffman. Miss Reist gave a part of Dickens’ ’’Christmas Carol as a reading. Dale Ellenherger acted as Santa Claus by giving the audience a shower of candy.

This event proved to be the crowning event of the school activities not only to the present members, but also to the Alumni. The rivalry between the societies has been increased the last two years, due to the beautiful loving cup which was presented by the Alumni Association to the winning society. The Alphas excelled the Arenas this year and won the cup l v a margin of 1.7 per cent. Amid much applause Josephine Reusser, president of the Alpha society, received the loving cup from Mr. Dale Braun, president of the Alumni Association.

Hulda of Holland , by May Hewes Dodge and John Wilson Dodge, on May 14. It was rendered under the able direction of Mr. H. B. Hoffman. It is a musical comedy in three acts with many choruses, solos and dialogues. The plot is complicated and humorous. Hulda. the daughter of Peter Cats, was betrothed to Jan Steen when they were mere infants. Soon after the Steen family moved to Xew Jersey. Mynheer and Vromv Cats have never met this Jan Steen, so they do not know what kind of a gentleman to expect. In the meantime Jerry Hcyden arrives from Xew York and immediately falls in love with Hulda. He persuades Jan wnen he arrives to act himself, i. e., Jerry. Therefore, Jerry is to marry Hulda. Mynheer Cats finds out about this scheme and drives Jerry from his home in disgrace. He soon sees that Hulda will never live happily with Jan Steen. He. therefore, makes arrangements with Adrian, Jan’s father, to .break this engagement and let Hulda marry Jerry. Jerry comes .back to Hulda with great joy. Katrina. Hulda's best friend, and Jimmy Stone have changed from a feeling of hatred to one of mutual affection. With both of these couples in view, all ends happily with a promise of orange blossoms and wedding bells in the future. MUSICAL NUMBERS ACT I. 1.

She took the money and her two daughters to the city: but left her niece at the country home. The money was spent foolishly and a letter was written for more money. The brother, however, didn't like this quick action with his money and told them to meet him at the farm. He arrived ahead of the ladies, assumed the role of an old negro, and was a witness to their artificial life and their shameful, unkind treatment of Rosalie, his niece.

Arndt of the Evangelical church. The theme of his speech was Success”. Rev. Arndt emphasized the value of honesty, promptness, obedience, reverence and character in attaining success. “The elevator of success is not running, take the stairs” is one of the mottoes that he gave. He also said that man and character are made in their spare moments. November 11 Rev. Schroeder of the Mennonite church gave Practical Applications in Plane Geometry . As illustrations he used geometrical figures found in Plane Geometry. Just as the center is equally distant from the circumference of the circle so should our lives be well rounded out. By using the square. Rev. Schroeder stated that we should be on the square with our fellow men. In closing he said that life’s work should be harmony but not monotony. December 8th The Power of Character was Rev. Sauerwein’s topic in his address to the high school. Rev. Sauerwcin emphasized that character is built by association, knowledge and expectation in attaining a future goal. The world of today needs men and women that will say no to temptation; girls and boys with integrity and who know how to use character. He also said that we should utilize the material God gives, in building a character for His kingdom and the betterment of the world. January 30th Mr. R. L. Kemplc gave an address to the high school pupils and faculty. Mr. Kemplc said the way to obtain riches is to give. Another point was in the form of a proverb, As you think so you live, as you live so you think.” On February 3d I)r. J. Quiring of BlutYton College gave an interesting address to the high school pupils. He mentioned four assets that the young man that went to Jesus possessed, riches, young life, education and a clean moral life. These should be made the part of the life of youth today. Dr. Quiring described Time as a fleeting moment and then it is gone. This opens to the threshold of Eternity. To obtain happiness life must be spent in making others happy. On February 22d Mr. Lough of the No-Tobacco League addressed the pupils and faculty of Berne High School. The Potential Power of Life” was his important topic. The purpose of an education, according to Mr. Lough, is to become familiar with God’s great abiding laws. This results in the first great principle of life, which is obedience to the law. March ;th Professor Smucker, who has charge of the Public Speaking Class in Bluflf-ton College, gave an interesting speech on the theme Success”. He gave a reading to emphasize the value of success. Professor Smucker said that success must leave the world in a better condition than before. Life should be an inspiration and the name should be a benediction. On April 8th Rev. Arndt conducted devotional exercises. Be strong and of good courage was the verse that Rev. Arndt used as the text. He mentioned four kinds of strength that a life should have. Physical, mental, moral and spiritual strength should be present in a strong character. On April 9th Professor Stoke and Miss Shugart of Marion College entertained the pupils and faculty. Professor Stoke spoke on America’s Greatest Statesman”. Each statesman should possess two points. First, he should possess ability to satisfy the immediate needs of the people, and second, he should have a permanent influence over the future need of the people. Health, unremitting work, knowledge, and luck are four points necessary to make a genius. April 13 President Long of Tri-State College gave an address stating that many of I 66 f the high pupils go to school to get. and many go to get by. He made an appeal to the high school pupils to get knowledge so that they can get along in the world. President Long says that the youth lacks the responsibility and willingness in work. On April 16th Mr. W. L. Clark, traveler, author and lecturer, gave an interesting address to the high school. Just as the trimming of a rose bush must he within the laws of nature, so the training of boys and girls must not he contrary to the laws of youth. Mr. Clark said that credit is often not given where it belongs. But. nevertheless, youth has the power to break or make life. April 22d Rev. Sauerwein conducted a chapel exercise, lie drew lessons from the complete armour of God. Each individual should wear a belt of truth, a righteous coat of mail, hoots of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation to be worn on all occasions. and the sword of the Spirit. Thus with this equipment they will he good soldiers to withstand all difficulties. On May 7th I)r. Joseph H. Smith of California spoke to the pupils and faculty on three institutions, the high school, the penitentiary, and the church. He stated that a person with a high school education is worth $32,000. In his statistics of the penitentiary at Pendleton, one criminal was a college graduate: 18 per cent, were totally illiterate; 52 per cent, never passed the third grade in school; 36 per cent, are children of divorced parents. Luther Burbank once said. Every weed was once a flower, every thorn once bore fruit.” The source of life is the school of Christ. In closing Dr. Smith said: Remember thy Creator in the da vs of thv vouth. Seek first the kingdom of God.” Honors 'Phe Senior Class of ’26 has been fortunate to have a student with a clean attendance iccord. Ellison Xcuenschwander has never been tardy nor absent ever since lie entered school in the primary grades. He has always been there to do his duty and to share in some of the responsibility. Josephine Reusser has just about maintained the same kind of a record with the exception of a tardiness of one minute in her sophomore year. She. too. has been willing to do her duty and always overcame her obstacles with a smile. Glennis Bagiev was successful in winning a silver medal in the Y. C. T. U. Reading Contest. There were four other contestants besides Miss Bagiev. Her reading was Pat and Ben. Co-Workers”, by Mary Howen. Since the basket-ball boys have had such a clean record in all their games, honors have been shown by giving them blue V” neck sweaters. The following are the players that received sweaters: Kermith Baumgartner, Harmon Bagiev, Grant Smith. Dale Ellenberger, Norman Winteregg, Earl Thompson. Earl Winteregg and Ivan Sprunger. Harmon Bagiev received a silver medal basket-ball charm because he possessed the best mental attitude in all games. i -x x i znmmmxxmtmm - -� ■{ 67 - HtHtt Jiir i escerti«iys if Tweed les On Tuesday evening. April 27. the Senior Class presented the play Twcedles at the Auditorium before an appreciative audience. Twcedles is a three-act comedy written by Booth Tarkington. It is considered one of his best productions. Twcedles is said to be Tarkington at his best.” The main story is entwined about Julian, son of the proud blooded Castleburys. who falls in love with Winsora Tweedle, daughter of the oldest family in a small New England village. Twcedles esteem their name highly as it has been rooted in the history of that section of the country for two hundred years, and they look down upon all summer cottagers with scorn. Likewise, the Castleburys are proud of their family name and are astounded at the possibility of a match between the two young people. Mr. Castleburv calls upon the Twcedles and laboriously explains the impossibility of such an alliance and explains in detail the barrier which exists between the families—social caste. The elder Tweedle thinks that these summer people do not consider themselves worthy enough to be united with the Twcedles who have such great social eminence. Tweedle agrees with tin- other gentleman and promises to prevent any connection there might be between Winsora and Julian. But through Winsora. the father is brought to realize that really the Castleburys look down upon them as being of lower rank. 'Tweedle is enraged and threatens revenge, but is checked by Mr. Julian Castleburv who brings to mind several persons of each family who were great drawbacks in the social and ethical world. I’pon this Julian still insists that Mr. Tweedle isn’t a Tweedle. since the original Tweedle blood is so diluted that very little remains. Winsora, too, takes the matter in her hands and defies the old man. The two young people are then able to tread their pathway triumphantly. The characters performed their individual parts well, and were able to carry a moral throughout as well as humor. Between acts, a piano solo was furnished by Rebecca keusser. and a violin solo by Freeman Burkhalter. These numbers added greatlv to the evening’s entertainment.

The play is a farcical comedy, overflowing with humorous entanglements. The plot is wholly a building up and tearing down of these complications. Mr. Marsland, by a letter, engaged the Rev. Robert Spaulding as his private secretary. Rev. Spaulding was very meek and very limp, a man that wore galoshes. Me seemed to suffer with a chronic cold of the highest degree. For various reasons Harry Marsland persuaded Douglas Cattermole to take Rev. Spaulding’s place as a secretary. Thus, while Douglas Cattermole was fulfilling this situation, he fell in love with Edith Marsland. Often through their music lessons they would let their minds wander to far-off lands. Mr. Cattermole had not seen his nephew, Douglas, for many years. His curiosity was greatly aroused. But to his great astonishment, when he had a glimpse of his supposed nephew, whom did he see but a limp man that wore galoshes. From that moment hatred seemed to exist between Cattermole and the limp man. But Rev. Spaulding, the latter, was innocent of the mistake. Rev. Spaulding was also mistaken to be a medium in Spiritualism. Miss Ashford began to use her spiritualistic inanoeuvers to make love with him. Her medium seemed a rather dull-minded man in the situation and instead of answering her desires, he called for food since he had such a pain in his stomach. Another affair was developing between Harry Marsland and Eva Webster, Edith Marsland's friends and companion. They began to look upon the situations with amusing expressions. Finally the news was broken to the different characters in the play by Harry Marsland. Mr. Cattermole was willing to claim Douglas Cattermole as a nephew because of his former friendship with him and his ability to carry out such a clever scheme. Thus, Rev. Spaulding, while eating his sandwich, was pointed out to be the real private secretary. The audience readily agreed that the laugh was hearty and that credit should be given to the cast and coach for the work. Music was furnished by the high school orchestra between acts. This added greatly to the pleasure of the entertainment. THE CAST Mr. Marsland......................................

Our Yesterdays SHSi Angeline’s Experiment Angelinc Rose Maybelle was alone! Her parents and her brother Richard had left at early noon for Sellington, a city located nearly forty miles from their home, and were not expected to return before late that evening. Immediately after her parents’ departure, Angeline had washed the dishes and set the rooms to rights, but now was at a loss to know how to occupy her time. She played the piano until that became tiresome and then—all at once she thought of the attic. Nearly one year before, the Mavbelles had moved from a distant city to their present home. The house, before their coming, had been occupied by an old couple. The man had always been considered as peculiar. He had one small room in the attic in which he spent practically all his time. The apartment was furnished with a small table, chair, and many boxes. At another side of tlie room inside of glass cases could be seen kettles, pans, bottles, cans—vessels of every description were there. That part of the house which had been used by the old man most extensively was hardly touched by the new family. The parents regarded that room as one by itself and wanted no close association with it. But Angeline was curious. So she thought that while she was alone, she'd investigate that one unknown spot. She lifted the lid from one box and began removing papers which had printed on them formulas and directions. They didn't look interesting to her. but nevertheless, she continued looking at every sheet and glancing at every page. Finally, her eyes rested on the words, How to make straight hair curly.” Well, to think that such a thing could possibly be done. Often she had wanted and wished for curly hair, but in vain. Her mother had told her that curly hair was something impossible to obtain unless it had naturally been given to one. She was sure there was no process by which straight hair could be made to curl. Vet she read again the directions that stated One-half cup of powder found in can number sixty-three dissolved in five cups of equal parts lemon juice and water and used as a rinse water after washing the hair will curl any hair beautifully no matter how long or straight it had before been.” It now seemed possible since she read it again. She believed she would try it at once. Now she knew this was all a fake. Her hair acted just as it had always acted. How foolish she had been to even believe it at first. At any rate it had taught her enough that never again would she believe everything she heard. But, what was this! The ends were curling! As the hair dried it curled more and more until her entire head was encircled by a mass of golden brown curls. Oh. how glad she now was that she had tried this experiment. Her heart's desire had at last been fulfilled. If only her parents would come home so they could see Angeline. But then she decided she’d surprise them in the morning. In the evening she went to bed and was sleeping when she heard an awful noise downstairs. Angeline knew by the voice that it was her brother, Richard. At this time Mrs. Maybelle came up to her daughter’s room. Then Angeline found out what was wrong with her brother. After his long and dusty drive he had decided to wash his hair and had used this preparation of his sister’s as a shampoo, as she had left it on a shelf with the others. Consequently his hair began curling. And if there was anything Richard detested it was for a boy to have curly hair which laid in ringlets over his whole head. Moreover, he had just started a mustache and this had the same tendency as his hair. After the family had found the cause of this sudden hair curling, all considered it as a joke but Richard, who had to have his mustache removed. VIOLA LUSK. ’26. U� � � .K. .tt� � � tt � .fr � j - 4 72 f - I he Rescue of Clara No artist could justly portray the scene of that August afternoon on the Mohave desert, though his entire life were devoted to the attempt. A written description could not bring to light the minute things of nature, neither could it be said with truth, it a human eye would witness creation and were suddenly closed, that it would not lie to the memory. All the desert lay in profound stillness. The air was dry and dead. Silence could almost be heard. The cacti were dressed in lifeless color. Even the waves of sand that were carefully molded by the June winds were stricken by magic and forgot to relax. Vet the sun with all its light, strength, and heat, beat down upon this lonely spot to hasten its doom. Yes, the earth was bare, creation had been sinking into a dying aspect as if its own Creator had forgotten it. But hist! The silence is broken. From some remote distance is heard a grumble as of the tramping of horses. At first the sounds seem to come from this direction, and then from another. For a time noises are faint and in perfect rhythm, then softer still, until they 1 ecome only the sounds of fairies dancing on the larger strings of a harp, and with that fade into the soundless ether. Now the tramping is heard somewhat more distinctly. This time the noises are given birth by irregular stepping. The increase of volume shows that the company has made a marked advance during the quiet moments. Gradually the rumble developes into thunder, cracking vehemently here, then there, and suddenly transferring itself to a foreign section of the sky. Not only once does the change occur, but again and again, which shows that the very incentive that directs the drive i not entirely certain of its course. Nevertheless, the regularity of the gallop cannot leave a doubt J ut that the company has a definite purpose. Suddenly a mad. white steed, made more ferocious by the spurs of the rider, plunges into sight. There follows at his heels two other horsemen riding abreast. A second pair pursues at no great distance from the first, and in turn is followed by a single rider who proves to be the last of the company. Onward they ride with the utmost speed, never increasing on the downward slope of the mounds, but never slacking to make the hills. No less fierce is the drive than it they were fleeing from everlasting punishment. The company is earnestly searching for a bandit den. thought to have been the retreat of criminals for a full hundred years. Many disturbances in the cities neighboring the desert had been traced to outlaws believed to have come from some refuge in this desolate region. Vet no one had ever reported having discovered the supposed haunt. On they speed for hours without a break. At sunset the horsemen are halted by the leader. Their destination is reached. Before them stands an old weather-beaten hut. a full day’s journey from civilization. The six charge on the hut in full fire but meet no opposition. Immediately the raiders dismount their horses and prepare for a foot assault. With a determination, to be stopped only by death, the company dashes to their two-fold plan, namely the rescue of the leader’s daughter (whether alive or dead), who had been kidnapped, and to disbure the outlaws by bringing them to justice. Presently the frenzied father breaks the door with his sword as though it were a veil, while lie is guarded by five marksmen each having two revolvers drawn. The company is greeted from within by a harsh Stop there, you fools, or 1 11 put you where you belong.” There is no repy given in words. The company dash into the room and point the ten revolvers and a sword at Hamill, for he is the captain and the only bandit in the hut at that time. 1 1 J 1 i s - +1 73 } ■ - Our Testerdays SHHf t I [ t t ( I i ► ► t t : : t t i r � ;::: |5jc { f t I [ 1 I I I i t i e He We ; : t t t We t t E j 1 t i j j j j • !

In response to tins harsh answer orders are given that Hamill should be chained both hands and feet. This being done the company immediately began the search for Clara. Although the hut is no larger than twenty-five feet in length and twenty feet in breadth and contains only one floor, the extensive search revealed no trace of the girl. After some time, however, a trap-door is discovered, the father forces it open and descends on a crude-ladder to a pit bounded on all sides by the bare earth. Although this place is filled with darkness a sufficient ray of light from the room above falls on the father’s face to permit recognition. Then: O father—father—father is it you, is it really you? in a voice so familiar to the leader, came from the darkness. Yes, my dear Clara. replies the father in a low and almost exhausted voice. An hour later Clara is mounted with her father. The other men securely bind Hamill. and with a guard, is also mounted. Then slowly, the company starts back to San Bernardino, while their course is lightened from the flames the bandit den. ELLISON' E. XEUEXSCHWAXDER. '26. Riches or Love But you do not love me enough, she went on, or you would not ask me to give up all these riches which I have had all my life-time. Rose. 1 have told you it is not riches that count, but it is love. Xow, why, dearest, do you persist in making me go into such a debt?” continued Jerry. Oh. you are selfish! Yes, downright selfish! protested the girl hotly. Rose, dear. lie went on in his calm way, I am doing my best, but these seem to be hard days.” But I’ve told you that father can help us. I'm sure he will. We want a new home and everything else nice before we get married.” But, dearest, could we not wait for that until some time after our marriage?” he asked. Xo, you're selfish! At this, silence fell between them. Rose seemed to gaze unsceingly about the garden, where they were sitting. They had spent many moonlight evenings on this bench under the arbor, with a blooming clematis twining above them. All Jerry saw was the beautiful face .by his side, whom he had called his own. After some time the girl arose. So you will not hear me? Then good-bye. she said. But—dearest—,” his voice broke and he buried his face in his hands as Rose walked toward the house. She was nearing the stone wall at the end of the garden, when she suddenly stopped as if she intended to turn back, but presently she proceeded. As she reached the gate in the wall she quietly opened it and advanced into the yard toward the house. She at once went up to her room, which faced the garden, and she stood before the window looking down upon Jerry, who was still in the same position in which she had left him. He remained for a short time and then stood up and walked slowly and gracefully out of the garden, with a melancholy and intent look. Rose watched him until he was completely out of sight: then she threw herself across the bed. She lay there a while, listening to the sweet strains of music which were floating through the air from a distant home where youth and love were being enjoyed. ¥ 3 2 3 3 ♦ 1 3 2 2 3 2 2 lit IS 2 74 ! ; : ! : ! fa s i: : i ; i : t : : : ; : s : • t : : 4t| iH tj : : t j t : : : : i i : : ; t t : : : !« : Our Yesterd ay Rose soon fell to weeping. She was really feeling very sad. Could she J e sure that it was selfishness that made Jerry act as he did? Was it not his honesty and manliness that had attracted her to him in the first place? She knew how sincerely he loved her and could she not love him more than all these riches? Mayhe his ideals were right after all. Thus a hard struggle continued until dawn; hut when the first ray of sunshine stole softly into her room, she fell asleep, feeling happy and peaceful; even proud of her hrave surrender of pride for true love. When she awoke she at once left the house and walked gaily towards Jerry’s office. As she reached the door; she tried to open it. but it was locked! Surely something must he wrong, tor he was always at his desk promptly. A shadow fell over her face and as she turned to go away, Jerry’s employer walked up to her telling her that her friend. Jerry McAdoo, had left the village on the morning train, hut where he was going no one knew, as he had not told anyone of his departure hut it had been hoped that they could receive information from Rose Milburn concerning the matter. At this. Rose was almost overcome with sorrow. She said nothing, hut went home directly and proceeded to her room. She knew that she could never he happy and in peace until she found Jerry. Jerry McAdoo had left the city with the intention of spending the remainder oi his life among the hills, where he could In alone and where he could he away from Rose. He considered his love as being hopeless and the world as a dreary place and. therefore, he did not care much where he went. He sailed for Switzerland on the first steamer and spent his days among the beautiful, snow-capped mountains. One mornng as he was descending a hill, he caught sight of a small hut. As he neared it he noticed an elderly man standing hv the door of the hut. At their first sight of each other, each at once recognized the other to he an American. Jerry was welcomed with great delight even though he was a stranger. He consented to remain with the old gentleman, Mr. Madison, who had at one time been poor, hut had since inherited a great fortune, which he did not care to spend. The two became very intimate friends and had lived together for several months when one noon, as Jerry returned from one of his walks over the mountains, he found Mr. Madison sitting in his chair before the fire-place. Jerry went to him. hut found the body to he cold and stiff—he was dead! Jerry remembered that sometime ago the gentleman had told him that if anything should happen to him. lie should take the key above the fire-place and open the chest which was in the next room. This was easily done and in the chest Jerry found a number of papers. The first one that he opened contained the will of Mr. Madison. Jerry read it and in it was stated that his vast fortune should all be given to Jerry. On the same paper was also written the address of his lawyer, where Jerry could get the money. An instant determination then sprung into Jerry’s mind. He would go back to Rose and give her everything she would want. The next day he started on his journey and as he walked along, he felt happy in thinking that this was the last time he would journey through these beautiful, yet lonely hills. He was walking along in the side of a high cliff and as he turned with the instant change of direction in the pathway, he beheld in front of him, two familiar characters a 1 eautifu!, young girl with an elderly, gray-haired gentleman. How could Jerry have known that Rose and her father were visiting the hills of Switzerland? Or. how could Rose and her father have found out that Jerry was spending his days at this place? Neither had known where the other had been, so this was a complete surprise. Rose's first impulse was to fall into Jerry’s arms, crying. Oh. Jerry, my dearest!” He answered her with a true welcome and the words, Rose, the flower of my heart.” INEZ LUGIN’BILL. 2s. t :■{ 75 f - 91 } - i ntmnmtnmti._..........................................................

I’ll manage, if you don't want me to take the car. ’ Jack replied as he turned and walked J ack into the house. Mr. Denham's patience wore thin and he was walking up and down the porch trying to cool off this spell of anger which had come during this effort to know and understand his own son. flesh of his flesh. John loved his boy, and would do anything to help meet his problems; but he also wanted his former confidence as he had had with many other boys who had come to him and found him to J e a true, good nattired old gentleman. But this time lie was defeated; it troubled and worried him. Then he tried to think of his own experiences as a boy. but that didn't better matters any, for. oi course, his case had been a different one. As John was thinking he was annoyed at meeting the pastor who had come to see him about some church business. John didn’t like to discuss Jack with any one. not even his wife: but this evening it seemed as though he couldn’t think or talk of anything else, so he had it all out with the preacher. Jack was working on his car again and finally got it going. As he left, the preacher and Mr. Denham noticed that the car wasn’t working right and Mr. Burnett, the preacher, said: “It sounds as if he might have trouble before he gets very far. However. Jack managed to keep it going and was soon out of sight. Rev. Burnett and John Denham talked on. As for Jack, you need not worry, he's a fine young fellow, said the reverend. I know, but it’s just that you don’t know where they are and what they are doing, replied Mr. Denham. The preacher rose and with a deep chuckle, laid his hand on John’s shoulder and said, You’ll know sooner or later. Remember the stuff that's in the boy. the stock lie comes from : and then he left. This relieved John some, but lie couldn't believe it. so he decided to sit up and wait till Jack should come, to see how it would turn out. Mrs. Denham had gone to bed but could not sleep, so when the clock struck twelve she again got up and went out into the room where Mr. Denham was waiting and watching. The clock truck one. but no signs of Jack were seen by either as they were sitting by the large front window looking out on the road. Presently John got up rather peeved and said. You see, we don't know where he is or what lie’s doing. He is unusually late, something must have happened. He shouldn't have taken that car. I'm afraid. said Mary, calmly. Suddenly she heard someone. As she went out on the porch she was greeted by Jack and Betty Shaw who were wearily stamping up to the house. Jack! called Mr. Denham, in a rough voice from inside the house. Oh. he's all right. John. 1 told you it was the car. poor boy, he had to walk home. said Mrs. Denham, kindly. “All right! Did you say? asked John grimly. Mary, where are your senses? he was saying as he came out. but hushed when Betty met him with a trembling smile. They all went into the house and Jack started to explain. I can’t leave her, I don't want to be in a bank. I don't want to go to New York. Mr. Denham sat down and thought, while Mrs. Denham held Jack in one arm and Betty in the other. He was beginning to understand. Presently Jack went on. I want to be a mechanic. Bob Wilson wants me to go in with him. He says with him as salesman and me as manager we would have a fine business and would get all the trade in two years. Mow Mr. Denham got up and said. I wish I would have known sooner, had I only understood. I’ll call Rev. Burnett in the morning. And here another happy family had its beginning. Flesh of his flesh. HARMON BAGLEY, '26. n 77 ►- 1 The Betrayal of a Friend People all have their personal opinion of the great range of the Rockies. By some it is spoken of as a very beautiful range with no other range of mountains as its superior. By others it is spoken of as a wild dreaded range. Xow let ns all forget our opinions and settle our minds upon a beautful location among the Old Rockies. It is beautiful for no other reason than that it was made thus by nature. The location is a small valley situated among the Southern crest of the range. Let us call this particular valley the Sunshine Valley”. The inhabitants of the valley were mostly made up of elderly people who had retired here from the .buzz and whirl of the cities. However, one family by the name of dairy had taken their abode here many years previous. The dairy family was composed of three members. Mother dairy, Father dairy, and their fourteen-year-old daughter. Rcinona. The character of Remona was very astonishing for a girl of her age. She possessed a great intellect, her mind being free from the lures of the city. Rcinona lived as happy as a lark with her dear father and mother whom she praised very highly. She being the only child of the family and possibly the only child of her age living in Sunshine Valley, was somewhat petted by Iter parents. Those who knew her said that she made a great part of the sunshine that lurked about the valley. She spent much of her time roaming about, this keeping her healthy. During the winter months she put her whole soul into her school work, striving to obtain all that education held out for her. Aside from her father and mother she had never known a real friend. Therefore, she was wholly content with her simple mountain life. Xow let a few years intervene and still hold in view the beautiful personage of Remona although she has now reached the age of seventeen. Her simple mountain life was now changed to the life of a city girl as the family had moved to the city on account of financial circumstances. For a few weeks Remona could not connect herself to the city life but soon she became acquainted with a rich doctor's daughter, who was of her age and whose name was Delores Brand well. It seems almost impossible that Remona and Delores should .become linked together, because Delores was full of pleasure and entertainments while the former knew nothing of city frolic. However, in the time of six months the two girls were so linked together that it appeared as if they were never to he separated. Although many evenings were now spent away from home. Remona still loved her parents and contributed much to them. It seemed impossible for Delores to go some place without the companionship of Remona. One evening the girls were invited to attend a great ball, which was to be held in the heart of the city, and as yet Remona was not fully acquainted with the city, especially the section in which the ball was to be held. For some specific reason Remona did not care to go and when she told Delores, she asked. “But why don’t you care to go? I should think that you would feel proud to go to such an affair.” In answer to the question Remona replied, Well, I really wouldn’t know how to act at such an occasion. You are used to them and 1 am not. I’m sure you will enjoy yourself just as much if I am not present. Thus the conversation continued for some time, until finally Remona consented to go, mainly to please her friend. At about eight-thirty the two girls could be seen among the crowd and to the onlookers it appeared as if they were both enjoying themselves greatly. Although Remona tried to offer an appearance of enjoyment she desired to be at home. At a late hour the members of the company began departing and so the girls decided to take their leave Delores suddenly was reminded that she was supposed to see some 1 j s |i si I 78 SJBD.V XIS a;no SBAV Dj [ ‘SSlliqj AVDU DDS OJ SJDIJJO JOJ SIJOfXIIB SABAVJB SBAV qOJJ Djjjrj 4l(;Sey jno dds ll.oqs II JD| UOAV I„ j [OJ SBAV SAVDU DlJJ UDIJAV qo{J JJI[ |)IBS , duij 0 | IBqi J.uo ,, iuoi|j ijjlvv abJ) oqj puDds oi Suiiuod sbav dijs jsqj DiioqdDjDj dijj jdao iudijj pDiuJOjui ‘Biup ‘uisnoD Jioqj ‘Dsnoq dijj ui qjo.vv ib .vjisnq djdav ‘ddudjoj.j ‘jdjsis jdij puB bsojj D|tq, •Dtuij jpqi A'dnDDO DSIAVJDIJJO OI DDBjd Dip JJDJ ADIJJ IJDUJAV JDJJB ‘SlltlS AJUDDIJD DJDAV SgUOS JEJDADg ‘SSlIOS DIJOIJlBd AVDJ B SlljS AJIUIBJ Dip JBip pDJSDSSJllS 'DJSmU JO JDAOJ JBDJo B SBAV OIJVV ‘BSOJJ , SBy ano jo d8bssdiu Dip Aoqo oj .vjnp jno ji djjbiu sn ID'].. ‘.vdjjba Dtp uiojj j| avbs Dq udijav JOSOfl pDlUJBjDXD JDIUJ puB |EAO| ‘DABjq Dq OI SU SJJDJ Jl SB SEP Dip SI JlJJlJUBDq AVO](„ •ptlllOJB DSOlp oi JBllSlS SJl JUDS SJBJJ Dip pilB qiJBD Dip OJUl A JUIJIJ IDS SBAV D|od Dip JSB J J ‘ SBp Dip JO DsdlUfjS B JOJ AjJDoBD pDlJDJBAV ||DAVXBJ ‘SJJ ptlB JJ ■J|iq Dip SlIfpilDDSB JOJ DDBJ J ASBD UB oi SDdoj JO SlIBDIll .vq It UOdll |)DSIBJ «Bp Dip IpIAV Djod Dip pDUJBD UDJjqilJD Dip OS 11111(3 OI pJBlJ pilB pDgSlU AJDA SBAV D|od DIJJ IDS OI JJDIJSIAV A-DIJJ IJDUJAV UOdll J||IJ DIJJ, pDJDjd -UIOD UOOS SBAV JJOAV Dip 'BSOJJ ’JDJSIS S|l| JO d|Dl( Dip IJJ1 '8bJJ Dip DSIBJ OJ IJDllJAV UOdll Djod Suo| b SuuEdDjd jjoav jb A'snq sbav voq jsDpjo Dqj ’jdSojj guuuoiu Dip tu a'jjbvj •SpUBIS Jj ijDiqAv ipujAV joj A j)imOD Dip jo mopDDjj Dip vvoqs oj Djqissod sb qg;q sb BDiJDUiy JO Sejj Dl[J DSIBJ OJ DJISDp JIDip SBAV J[ pDqSIVV A'dIJJ a'BAV AUB Ilf DJBJ |D[DD OJ UDJ| ||l{D Dt(l pDAVO||B ;;davxbj - sjj - pin: jj -DjojDq sjbda aiibui |� djjijddo pBq ijdujav judad jbdjS Dip joj uoijbj(| -D|DD JO JDUUBIU D| ltIIIS B III AEp Dl(J pllDlls OJ DUIOIJ JB pDllIBlllDJ AJIUIBJ Dl|J SIIAVOJ AqjEDll Dip III A [U (’ JO IJJJUO.J JO DDUBJqUIDUIDJ Ilf UOI JEJqDJDD JBDjg Oil D ( OJ SBAV DJDip DDIU IIOIJBDBA B pilDdS OJ DDB|d D|(|B J JOJIUOD B SB pilB |HJljnBDq A JDA JOO[ Jl glliqBlll S||BAV Dip OJ glllolllp DJDAV SDIIIA UDDjg pilB Sjpijq IJJ1AV JJIIiq SBAV DSIJOq DIJ [ UDqBJ sbav jdjbav jo A'jddns Ji3ip ipfqvv uiojj Suuds b sbav Dsnoq Dip uiojj jbj jo -ssbjS iiddjS [njlinBDq pilB SDDJJ IpIAV pDJDAOD S||ll( l|gll| A-q pDpllUOJJUS A-D||BA B III poOJS DSIJOq Dl(X Alf[BDO[ Slip III IIOIJBDBA JDlUlUnS JfDlp pllDlls OJ pDAOJ a'DI| [ 'SJDJSIS OAVJ pm: SJDipojq OAVJ ‘SJUDJBd Dtp JO PDISISIIOD a'||UIBJ Dl( I UDUIllinS Dip pilDdS Ol pD[ flllDSSB lllBoB SBAV A|IUIBJ B ‘lIOgDJQ OJOqS[|l{( UIOJJ SDJIIU UDJ JUOqB DSIJOq P|jq D|JJl| B U[ 9uiij ui sn|' ■8c. xhish ■piIDJJJ DUJJ JDipoilB pDUlBo pi:q Buotu a jj ‘UDqojq sbav d;qs| UDijj .sdjojd(j j� ub buoiudjj qguoqjjB puB ’Diuoq |)DJDU| uod A'JDJBS SBAV DlJS |� JOJ SBAV A'JOJS JDIJ JDJJV jnoq UB DJB| OS JB DJDIJ JDIJ SuulDDq Dq jqnoo JBIJAV JDIJ SlIiqSB |)DJBDddB lIBllt aJuUOA DlUOSpUBlJ B ‘ tSll|JDpilOAV,, ||IJS SBAV DlJS Dj|q, •pDjqSlJ JDgUOJ Oil SBAV DDBjd Dl|J |)UB pDJJBd |)Bl| AllBdlUOD DJOq.VV Dl|J DllIIJ Sll|J A{| pilDIJJ JDIJ OJ pDUDddBq DABIJ PJIJOD jbijav |)DjDpuoAV dijs jnq ‘Diuoq jdS oj Sinog sbav dijs avoij oj sb j d;jjoav ajuo jou sbav Dq -•pDjqnojj pus snoAjDu a'jda duibddij avou buouidjj ‘a j | Dpi|S j� bij duiij s juoij he udijav PDUJIIJDJ JDA JOU J)BIJ DIJS 'JDADAVO J J SDJUIIIIU DAIJ JUO(JB III UJIJJDJ OJ pDSUUOjd J)BIJ DIJS DSIJBDDq pUDUJ JDIJ OJ JJDUDddBlJ J)BIJ JBIJAV JD|)UOAV OJ UB«Dq DIJS JUOIJ UB JJBIJ-DUO JUO JB JOJ pDJIBAV J)BIJ DIJS J JJ ' JDUJOD B JB DCf OJ pDllDlUlBlJ IJDllJAV DDBjd DIJJ JB pDUfBlUDJ A JJUJIJJIBJ BUOUIDJJ pDUJUJDJ DIJS Jljlin DDB|d IUBJJDD B JB UIBUIDJ OJ BtlOUIDJJ J� |OJ DIJS OS ‘DUO sXepjajsaA Jno : ; w vur i esieruays old. but a great observer of everything in sight. It was bis delight to show them a new bird’s nest or any other object that had not been noticed before. Did you see our flag? was Bob’s first question when Velma arrived. Their cousin lived in St. Helen and it was a great pleasure to her to spend a day with her cousins, in this beautiful valley. Much time was spent in looking at the flowers and every interesting object there. In the afternoon a great smoke was seen rising from the forest. What could it be? Nothing like it had ever before been seen by the children. In great alarm they rushed to tell Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell about it. Word was sent to the nearby station for forest fire-fighters to come at once. Our flag! We must rescue the flag!” exclaimed Roger. How can we get it. for the place to ascend the hill is blockaded with smoke from the burning forest? W'liat shall we do?” Be loyal, brave and true. replied Rosa. Then I must be loyal, brave and true to the flag that has given us the example. I must try my best to save the flag before the fire spreads too far. He then tried to climb the slope directly below the flagpole with the flag so fearlessly waving on account of the breeze. He was able to climb upward about six feet when he slipped and came to the ground again. Several times he started upwards but was unsuccessful in going up very far. Oh, look! Velma’s climbing up, cried Florence. All eyes had been watching the attempts of Roger and so Velma slipped away and was trying to reach the top. She was almost there, cheers were sent up to her but the fire was close. The fire was only two yards from the flagpole. Would she be able to rescue the flag and save herself before the flames came too close? This was the question on the minds of all the observers. Do hurry,’” was called to her as she lowered the flag to release it from the pole. The fire is very near and you must save your life. In a very short time the flag was loose and with joy and triumph she flung back the news to them, I’m coming.” Down the steep, rugged bill she climbed just as the fire-fighters were digging a trench to check the fire. Through steady, diligent work the fire was checked although the flag pole was among the ashes. Hurrah for Velma. She has set us a real example of being loyal, brave and true,” cried the children. No, replied Velma. “Roger set the example and since I lo e to climb trees I decided to try climbing a bill but it seemed like a high mountain to me. With thanksgiving in their hearts for the rescue of the flag and of a life so dear to them, they all enjoyed a good lunch, after which Velma returned to her home. From that time on the flag of the United States meant more to the Maxwell family and to Velma than it ever had before. ELVIRA LEHMAN, ’26. | : ?♦ I % ❖ : ? ATHLETICS |: Yesterd Boys Basket-Ball In answer to Coach Diltz’s call for basket-hall candidates about forty tried out for the team last fall. Out of these forty men the coach selected the following eight men because of their ability: Harmon Bagiev, center; Dale Ellenherger and Grant Smith, forwards; Kerniith Baumgartner and Norman Winteregg, guards; and Karl Wintercgg. Earl Thompson and Ivan Sprunger, utility men. These men composed the fastest and strongest team that ever graced the blue and white basket-ball suits for old Berne Hi. The Fighting Five, as they were called because of their fighting prowess, went through their schedule of seventeen games like a streak of lightning without a defeat. They won games from the recognized four strongest teams in the county to win the Sectional Championship. These four teams were, namely, Decatur, Kirkland. Hartford and Monmouth. This was the first and only Sectional Championship that Berne Hi ever won. Two of the Fighting Five’s men were chosen on the mythical all-sectional team. From the Sectional Tournament the Fighting Five entered the Regional Tournament at Fort Wayne the following Saturday. Here they drew the stifTest team in the Regional, which was Central Hi of Fort Wayne Berne played Central to a stand-still the first eight minutes. From then on the size of Central's players began to tell on the Fighting Five. Central then forged ahead by their short passing system. From then on Central held the lead until the end of the game. When the gun cracked the score read Berne 18. Central 37. This was the first, last, and only game that the Fighting Five lost out of twenty-three games this season. Fort Wayne Central went to the state tournament at Indianapolis and won their first game from Franklin. In their second game they were defeated by Marion, who won the championship. Therefore, we were defeated by a team that was defeated by the State Champs, which doesn’t seem to be a bad record. Although the Fighting Five won twenty-two games out of twenty-three this season, they won something more important than this. Coach Diltz and his team won the respect and admiration of their opponents as well as of the supporters. They realized the value of winning the game square and treating the opponents with courtesy.

Although he played guard he would often slip down the floor and toss one through the draperies. Bummy broke up many plays for the opposing teams. He is one of the best and fastest dribblers that ever graced a blue and white basket-ball suit for Berne Hi. Bummy’s greatest fault on the team is that he is a Senior. “SMITTY Smith. Ellenbcrgcr’s running mate, was responsible for many of Berne Hi’s scores. His left hand fooled many of his opponents and they couldn’t guard him effectively. Smittv often tossed a basket v nen the score was close, thus giving Berne the advantage. Smittv is a Junior and can be depended upon to do his part next year. - 83 ) ? Our Yesterdays !? “ABE —Bagley, a man of two years’ experience, was a great asset to the team. Abe was one of the best centers Berne Hi ever trained. With him at center the “Fighting Five” could always figure on getting the tip-off. Abe never missed getting his share through the loop and was a great factor in the team’s air-tight defense. We regret that this is his last year to play on Berne’s Basket-Ball Team. “CHUBBY”—Ellenberger played forward and was one of the main factors in the Fight ing Five’s scoring machine. He covered the door in great style and his pass work was both fast and accurate. ’o matter what the score was he never for a moment gave up, but played the game with all possible efforts. Chubby is a Sophomore and has still two more years to play for old Berne Hi. NORMIE -—Winteregg played hack guard and was a big factor in the Fighting Five's air-tight defense. His height helped him to intercept many of the opponent’s passes. His favorite pastime was to slip up to center and drop the ball through the basket. This is Xormie’s second year on the team and he will be back next year to help Berne win. WIX X 1 E”—‘Earl Winteregg played forward and guard as a sub. He always played a hard and clean game. Winnie was a fast dribbler and a sure shot from the side of the floor. He played a good floor game, often fooling many of his opponents by dribbling under the basket and shooting with his south-paw. Winnie will graduate this spring. “IKE - Sprunger played on the back half of the floor. Ike spoiled many plays for the opponents. He never laid down on the job no matter in whose favor the score read. He was a shark on long shots. Ike has still another year of basket-ball ahead of him. “BILL”—Thompson, as a defensive player, needed no help in holding down his man. His weight and speed made him well suited for his position. Bill liked to dribble down the floor and drop in a two pointer. He will be back fighting for a position on the squad next year. - M - Basket-Ball 1925-76 With only one varsity player left from last year’s team Coach Diltz, with the aid of the girls, produced a winning team. They opened the season by an overwhelming victory over the Pleasant Mills lassies. They kept up this fast piaving and won 6 out of 9 games, losing three by very small margins. Some of the teams that they played were Garrett. Markle. Decatur and Portland. The team's passwork was superb. Three of the regulars will he lost by graduation, hut in spite of this they should have a winning team next year. DIXER” lirown played forward and was captain of the girls’ team. Diner, because of her size and quickness, dropped in the most baskets. She always played a fast and clever game. 'JOK” Rcusser played center and was usually successful in getting the tip-off. Joe broke up many passes for the opponents. She was a big factor in Herne's passing games. MARGARET Rawley played forward. She had a good eye for the basket and dropped many a pretty one through the hoop. She also was good on the passing end of the game. SX1TZ Snyder played guard. She was greatly responsible for the opposing teams’ low scores. Snitz was good on recovering the ball. She would pass the hall from her end of the door to the forward on the other end. - ! N.-' f - SSSSOur Yesterdays?????? GLKN’N’IS Bagiev played running center. She was good at intercepting the opponent’s passes. She always played a hard and clean game. Xo matter what the score was Glennis was alwavs there to do her level best. TILLIE” Acschliman played forward. Her playing was always clever and fast. She always got her share through the basket. Tillie was noted because of her ability to shoot free throws. She always played a good guarding game. She stopped was from making baskets. Her passwork was very good. FRITZ Acschliman played guard. She could always be counted on to do her very best. She was good at recovering and at the passing end of the game. Fritz always played the game for all there was in it.

Raise cooked eggs from the flour and in four counts make a stiff drop dough, which is stretched at the waist, thigh flexed. Lay flat on the floor and roll marbles the size of a walnut.
