In some inexplicable manner they focus our attention, and from then on through four years we never forget them. This is because they are always with us. Relatively speaking, the faculty is the piece-de-resistance of a high school career, for it is that part which first attracts our awe and admira- tion. and afterward fills us with respect for that which has forced us to exertions manifold and mighty, in the main, it is par-excellence. Sometimes the faculty produces characters of note—however lack of space and of life insurance prevents us from dwelling upon them at greater length. Any Sophomore can tell you alxmt that. hirst, last, and all the time, the faculty is an organization of boosters. When the Seniors or any body else yvant anything sold in our community, they generally do a swan song in the arms of the nearest faculty member—and the deed is done. '1 here is an ancient legend afloat that yvhen Xoah could not get one of his elephants up the gang plank of the Ark. he called upon a member of the 11. H. S. faculty to boost—and the animal yvent aboard. Finally, their chief characteristics are a violent spite against Wrigleys and a strange affinity for red ink. They arc mighty exponents of Danvin's theory. i B. H. S. — GOTHIC 1921 C. R. Clayton. Principal Vocational I n formation Clear the halls, please'1 Pkaki. Maze English Stand up, ll’illiam, or— Pkaki.

Jamaica ginger, irrepressible “spirits” and Worcester sauce—condensed. lli actions sometimes remind one of a combination of inflammatory rheumatism and St. Vitus' dance. He is what Sophomores always have been and always will he. Vet our present second year class is far from mixed pickles. It is indeed a very excellent class. The Sophomores furnish the background for the Juniors ami Seniors l though some resemble Juniors and some are almost Freshmen, the class average is very distinctive. They have their own traditions, their own characters, their own laws. They are a buffer organization serving to soften the contrast between the Freshmen and the two upper classes. And when you consider the vast differ- ence between a Junior and a Freshman, you must realize how well they accom- plish their purpose. They have always had plenty of pep and go. equally ready to buy or sell tickets, “Gothics, or French department puzzle-. Nothing i i m great for them to attempt, nothing too small for them to accomplish. I'hey sup port the spirit of the school—which is all that we can say. Sophs of B. H. S. have never approached the legendary terrors to Freshmen They have never inflicted untold tortures upon them, never even drowning one in Spanker's Branch. They are fairly law-abiding, generally harmless, and out- wardly calm, for they believe in keeping their spirits in the cellar. Their motto is “Carry Off!” Thirty-sa cn lot luhii I'cruucwiii.

The Freshmen All Freshmen are divided ir.to two types, the slow hut steady and the wild and wooleys. Both types get there.” The wild and woolc get there first -and don’t last very long. The slow hut steady get there at last and stay. This is not a temperance sermon, it is a description. The Khinic class is ably fathered by Mr. MeCaughan and by Mr. VVoolev. These two with an able corps of assistants care for them tenderly, and do well by them. 'They are as a whole a very decent class. They are not fresh, and in public they hear themselves with a quiet, respectful er-er-er respect for their elders. We rise to protest. For years the trick t i looking behind the doors for the numlters of class rooms has been shouldered off upon the Freshmen. This i untrue, unfair, illegal, and several other things not worth mentioning. Fur it is distinctly a Senior trick. They forget. They look behind the door. Sometimes a Junior does it. and maybe a Soph or two. But a Freshman never does. Mow can he? He doesn’t know that there arc numbers on the door. The Freshmen are the originators of the Cap Fxehangc upon the first and second floor. They do not swipe them.” they exchange them. This is legit- imate, it has always been done since the time of the first Freshman. Hut it works both ways, for if the owner of the exchanged cap sees his own hanging upon a hook in the Exchange sometime later, he is liable t have 1h� th. And the Freshman goes home bare-headed.

For though they've lived for many a year They look on one still older. Silently flowing to the sea: Though nearer, never holder. For as it reaches the great sea To there he lost forever.

Together, wc talk over the seemingly hopeless future that awaits us. together, we seek employment and invariably find it imjxts- siblc to obtain. He comes to me with his hopes. I go to him with my tears.— and so it is, day after day with us. but toda My friend Friedmann told me that last night be was robbed—I laughed, yes. 1 had to, that was all! Friedmann being robbed! Mv. what a sense of humor the highwayman must have had! Then he told me that all he possessed in the world had been taken from him by the robber. It had hap| ened in the courts, near the golf links, under the shadow of a particular elm. Someone now had a watch and a ring, of little material worth to them, but worth all the money in the world, in sentiment, to my friend. They had belonged to his father, who bad given them to hint on Iris ( Friedmann's father’s death bed. Friedmann had always talked much about his father, but he had never once mentioned these heirlooms, if such they were. He finished telling of the robbery and turned to go. I told him of my sympathy for him and assured him that I would do all I could to help him recover the watch and ring. 1 would always be willing to help my friend Friedmann. So tonight, as 1 don mv shabbiest suit and inspect my revolver, mv hand, groping in a pocket for my mask, touches two solid objects—yes. they are a watch and a ring all right. 1 was in an indescribable predicament last night, in the courts, near the golf links, under the shadow of a particular elm-.

The Optimist The Optimist is the Bloomington High School attempt at current Journalism. l � st year the staff under the editorship of Dale Cox, performed the impossible and produced a wceklv paper of large size and interesting contents. When at the end of the year, the accounts were balanced a small deficit remained, which the present staff assumed. Many things have combined to present difficulties to the editors and managers of the paper. However, the Nineteen Twenty Twenty-one issue has been a very creditable one. and suf- fers onlv in contrast with that of the preceding year. When it comes to the staff itself, it is the gassiest organization in school -always excepting the Philomathcon Club. From this group come all the latest scandals, dryest jokes, and oldest squibs in school. It is headed by an editor anti managing editor who rush madly to and fro and never seem to get any place.

The Hi Y Club The Hi-Y Club of Bloomington High School was formed during the tall term by twelve charter members, students of the High School, and by three Faculty advisors in conjunction with a representative from the I. U. S M. C. A. After careful consideration they organized upon lines expressive of a better High School. Four representatives were sent to the Annual Indiana Bovs’ Conference at Cruvfordsvillc, who returned enthusiastic over what they had seen ami heard. Under the Constitution an election was held, and Francis Gerhart, of the Class of Twenty-one was returned President. The activities of the Cltih during the administration of the Gerhart committee were too extended to l c included here. However they included two big times for the High School I toys, a bean feed.” and a gct-acquaintcd party. A second election for the coining year resulted in Ralph McClintock. president; Harlan Logan, vice-president: Flamer Finn, secre- tary, and Jude Kreuger. treasurer. The two-day meeting of April 26-27 was the culmination of a series of discussion groups held by the organization. It was a groat success for it rep- resented the spirit of the boys of the High School. Their purpose, which should, indeed, he that of every boy and every man, is to create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community, high standards of Christian character.” There arc two distinct moving spirits of the organization outside the boys who form the group. They are Mr. Hale Bradt. dean of hoys, and F.. Arlo Byrum. Assistant Secretary of the I. U. Y. M. They arc responsible ior the organization they have aided in every way to promote its interests. They are the movements most energetic advocates in our community. Our organization now contains over thirty members. It is affiliated with the National Organization of the same name. Fifty-five The Blue Triangle The Triangle girls form a wonderful organization. Although their name is Blue, at sharp angles you never find them so. They are always cheerful and full of life they sure can make things go' When it comes to a friendship party, or picnic, hike, spread, or clever entertainment the Blue Triangle is the place to find it. Their meetings, where questions helpful to girls arc discussed, arc metre populr r than track meets. To get the girls better acquainted and more inti� the spirit of the club, two Triangle teams were formed, piloted by Dorothy White and Helen Thomas, and called the Boh Whites” and the Tommies' after the names of their leader� . A final goal was fixed and each gtrl gained individual points for her team, Altogether the sport built up a closer bond of friendship between the girls of the High School. The Blue Triangle was organized in the fall of Nineteen Nineteen under the leadership and direction of Miss Vista Hudclson. then of Our History Department. When, in the fall of Nineteen Twenty, Miss Hudclson resigned to accept the position of I. U. V. W. secretary. Miss Craven was placed in charge- To these two belong a large proportion of the credit due to the founders of the organization. Vera (Irani, the present president, has most ably directed the affairs of the club. The Blue Triangle is a part of the Girl Reserve movement of tlie National V. W. C. A. 1921 =---------- GOTHIC B. H.

The Honor Roll The tiothic Honor Roll is composed of a group of “guns. sharks. boners, mid- night oilers. and flunkies who were never caught. Glance over the faces. They include those of representatives of every type in school save two, of every organisation save one. The Roosters declare that they were too busy working for the betterment of the school as a whole, to prepare a candidate. Nevertheless this group represents the hardest working ele- ment in school, for they not only make themselves felt in active organi tion, lmt they keep their studies up to the highest notch, as well. They ure the best. To Dr. Woolcy Mongs the credit for the organization of the Ornnry Roll for the Gothic. Not only did he make the suggestum, hut he carefully searched the deadly records of the office for those who had averaged above ninety per cent, for the first term. We hope and suggest that in the future issues of the Gothic that these be not forgotten, and tlr t new names may be added to the Roll every year. Fifty-seven B. H.

If the Boosters could sell red lemonade and peanuts as well as they can sell tickets of all colors, lengths and thickness, to anything from a dog fight to a basket-ball game, it would pay them to incorporate themselves into a circus. Such a circus in their group would be very inexpensive to get started, there being no necessity, whatsoever, of them sending into the jungles or wilds to obtain a menagerie. “Pudge would make a cunning baby elephant. Daddy a dear little Jocko” and Vic a red squirrel. Bill would be nourishing food for last two. We have in Mac a flashing mustang and in C. G. V.. an enormous Hippo, probably the largest in captivity.

With his great voice, through a mighty megaphone Lancy will cry, “Every’body come to the circus!!” And they’d all come—because, the Boosters’ Club is behind it.

In danger such a volume of gas might explode without being carefully guarded. Mr. Hamilton was put on guard.

Next to its age is its X-clusiveness. membership being exceedingly selective as well as elective. The name of the club has often puzzled many, for never has there been a single wig or mask, although there have been ardent wishes that some of the very select members wore a mask. Some, however, have been accused of wearing wigs. In the fall of 1920 Wig and Mask with only twelve members full of pep and determination elected Helen Thomas president: Elizabeth Gentry, vice-president; Irvin Huncilman. secretary and treasurer. The election was followed by plaijs for a play and it was this organization which attempted and put on Green Stock- ings. A big attempt, we shall say. for which they should be duly credited, and winch made them the third wealthiest organization in school. The Wig and Maskers were the originators of the lx st and most successful convocations ever held in 15. H. S. The April Fool Follies are to be an annual event in which “all the members are fools and every fool plays a part. With the term of '21 Elizabeth Gentry stepped into the presidential chair with Dorothy Graham as vice-president, and Irvin Huncilman treasurer, and Bill Ken- ney secretary.

The Sectional Tourney In the pep session before the sectional meet every speaker said that we would win easily. This was true to an extent, but there were few rooters who did not begin to doubt the statement during the final tnsscl. Bloomington's first game was won from Linton with comparative ease, by a large score. The Lintomtes scored only seven points during the whole game and at no time were they close enough to make the outcome doubtful. The same thing held true in « ur Second game, for we piled up fifty-six points to Scotland's six during the fray. In the third and final game however, a different type of team appeared On the floor. Faster games are seldom seen. The Smithville lads got an early lead, but failed to retain it. After much suspense on the part of everyone the game finally closed with a score of nine to eleven in our favor. X. Stull, in spite of injuries received in the Lyons-Smithville game, starred for the losers. The first selections for the all sectional are as follows: Logan, of Bloomington, X. Stull, of Smithville, forwards: Story, of Lyons, center; Nicholson and McClintock. of Bloomington, guards. The tourney was successful from every standpoint.
