We’ve got your number. We know what you want and we’ve tried to give it to you. Hut—we aren’t perfect by a heck if a lot and we can look back now and see a lot of mis- takes, some of which we learned too late to correct. Hut we’ve done our best, and our only hope is and our .nl consolation will be that you get just a little enjoyment out of it and put out a belter one next year. Anyway, we had a lot of fun in mak- ing tin’s almanac. nr� gi I’lgP nix QW3 n GOTHIC ' Pa we «wn TO THE PURPLE AND WHITE Yea Bloomington, we're all for you, Bloomington, you'll find us true, Ye will stand by you and fight For the Purple and the While, Yea Bloomington, run up the score.

A very large portion of the credit for the budding of our new gymnasium to-be will he due this board. We wish them success. mem D THE 5gotmic[[| THE FACULTY Yc know you're going to like this section. Here are the persons that sign your cheek- slips. permits and--perhaps your citizenship- slips. Here arc the people that catch you whispering, sleeping, loafing, passing notes, chewing gum and lessonless. Here are the people that catch you slipping out at the end of the seventh period, and who get in front of you in the cafeteria line. Hut—if you attend to your business and your business alone, and get chummy with the profs, they’re awful good friends to have, and you can get a lot of things you never could get if you antagonize them. And some of them aren’t quite so bad lookin’. And they aren’t such a bad hunch after all. EjGOTMIcfll C. K. CLAYTON Principal Observation LOTTIE M.

Some bunch, heyf In their otvn minds they're the acme of mental perfection; in the eyes of the undergrads they're a gang of conceited szvellcd heads. To he frank, they are mostly the latter. Hut after all they are only human, same as you and me. They’ve worked four long years for the position they note occupy and they de- serve a little recognition. Some time before long you undergrads are going to step into their shoes and your undergrads will say the same things about you. but you won't speak thus any more. Say—you Juniors.

OR JPL PITOUIR OF TRISHHAN ClAff 6 1A TE 7 L?UU' I'ago fifty-four flcoTMicrn THE REVIEW OF THE SEASON e= It was with a none t« o cheerful out- look that Coach Wakefield entered upon the second year of his duties at Bloom- ington High School. Captain Krueger was the only man as- sured of a regular position, with Wells and Hill practically assured, but Wells graduated at mid-term and left a big hole in the Wakefield machine. The second team produced Corrcll, Albertson and Geiger, while Farmer, Neal, Moser. Tur- pin and Hall were the products of the tryouts. The stock «if the team was boosted above par bv the matriculation of Noble Stull, the former Smithville flash, and after becoming eligible in Jan- uary, he played a game second only to that of the “Mighty Benny. To pry off the lid. the Markmen had a real job on their hands to down Oolitic by a two point margin. 24 to 26. However, they g- t rid of the buck and came into their own by scrapping the Sandborn anti fricans machines by 27 and 39 points respectively': 40 to 13 and 46 t • 7. The tir-t real game of the season was at Greencastle. where the Purple handed the veteran Khcamcn a 26 to 24 bruiser. Krueger and Company made it five straight by crowning the rtcsian City basketeers 39 to 15. This looked like anything but an ■ -Id time Bloomington Martinsville fray. The team concluded it' perfect record by invading the 22 State Champs stronghold and grabbing off a sizzling 23 to 1 victory. A1 though Krueger sat in the rooters section during the first half with an in jured chest, he entered the melee m the last ten minutes and won the old ball game with three field goals. However, the good ship “Purple and White went mi the rocks for seven straight, beginning with the disastrous Bedford defeat by a 21 t - 25 tally But all of the games were with the cream of the state’s best teams, five . .f them being away from home, and only one of these was by more than seven points. Anderson was the first of these and won out only after the hardest kind of a scrap 23 to 28. The following week end the team hit a tvv-game trip and lost to Frankfort in the closing minutes, 22 to 29, and the next night to Jefferson, of Lafayette. 26 to 28, after a five minute overtime period. f this game Coach Grosshans of Jeff said, “1 never aw a cleaner team than Bloom- ington play.” There was not a personal on Markmen. _ In the return game the Purple was a victim of the Curttsmen. 31 t.. 3 . and a week later lost a second time to Coach Stagg’s wonderful aggregation COACH MARK WAKEFIELD P«ite flftjr-fiv 1 THE. « jlgjQjL a GOTHIC CAPTAIN Jt'LU'8 E. KRl F.UER in one of the most memorable battles ever seen in Bloomington. The Bloomington team was without the services of Captain Krueger, but went into the game to fight ami was but four points in the rear at the final gun, 28 to 32. It called to the minds of the older fans that memorable game between the same two teams on the I I floor in 1' 1 . when Clifford Wells' ultimate State Champs came out on top, 25 to 24. While Benny was still out of the game and Bobby” Corrcll with him. in- cennes gave the boys their seventh con- secutive set-back at the Old Post by a 48 to 20 score. In this game Nobc” Stull made his debut in a Purple jersey, having become eligible at noon of that day. n the back road the squad stopped over-night at Sandborn and broke their losing streak, 33 to 18. Krueger was not yet in playing condition when Bedford took their first perfect season from Bloomington by counting 38 points to the home team's 18. However, tin- Wakefield quintet was primed for a victory and soaked the Pranklin basket 'lingers for a 51 to 14 row. The next week they had a real tussle with Manual, but came out on t p, 35 to 31. I he last reverse oi the season came with the A tiedown's second win in the hot ten minutes of a hard game. 42 to 27. In the last home game. Mark's fighting cohort evened up with Frankfort, 30 to 23. and in the sea- m's windup at Columbus gave Coach Kill Dobbins' Bulldogs” a 32 to 33 handout. The Sectional Tournament Bloomington kept up its traditional victory by winning its district with more ease than it has met with for several seasons. The first to fall before them was Patricksburg. by a 50 to 2 final -core. The losers were unable to score from the field. The plucky Spencer dark horse was the next to succumb to the Purple onslaught in the first semi-finals match, with a 36 to o count against them. In the finals against Smithville the home team was everywhere superior, and outclassed their smaller opponents, 32 to 12. The Regional Tournament Benny Krueger played a wonderful game for the Purple and White! and made a fitting close t« - his last game in a high school suit.

Don’t stop at this page too long. It’s no use. they’re all taken. No. you haven’t a show, unless perhaps—you make the team next year. Yes, they’re all gone, from Captain Curry to Tiney” Taylor, and maybe you think somebody got a bad bargain, but that's just what they got everything else but. Say! How would you like to see a game played between the following teams: Krueger, Morgan, Correll, Farmer and Albertson; and Curry. Curry. Taylor, Hoadlcy and Cheno- weth. While Jude and Mary would take time out to talk it over and go across the street to get an Eskimo Pie. Rhea would he pulling Walter's hair and Harriet would be chasing Bob off the floor with a hat pin. Anyway we know who would win, and it wouldn’t be Captain Krueger’s leant, either. In closing we wish to say that they’re some fine bunch of soils.” and we just wonder if they will all be back on the first ten stats of row one of the girl rooters' section next November. AN INTRODUCTION TO MARK AND JUDE AND THE ’’FALLOWS” oooooo Here they are in all their glory. You can’t find a better bunch, anywhere, if wc do say it. We’ve got a Coach as good as they come and a Captain a little better and a team that never heard the word quit.” A Coach and a team that were the originators of light” and clean basketball.” Some of them arc leaving, but they’ll never forget. Some of them will be with the Purple and White for several years to carry on the standards which those who have gone and those who are leaving have set. Look ’em over. Not so bad lookin’ arc they? Wc know a hunch of girls that agree with you. D TUZ rrsoi-uicni Page fifty-nine TUL COACH MARK WAKEFIELD Coach Wakefield furthered his record hy putting, for the third consecutive time, a team in the field which won state-wide recognition. This year the Purple mentor had a difficult task before him. Graduation, hard knocks anti injuries handicapped the team the entire season, nevertheless, it was picked hy many to go to the finals. LANE WELLS Forward Lane Wells, a January graduate, played a heady passing game and was a good feeder for Krueger. This w;t- “Nappy's first year as a regular, hut he fit into the machinery like an old timer. Along with Lane, we lost a frequent visitor to the high school. CAPTAIN JULIUS KRUEGER Forward Benny vindicated the hopes of his many friends, and despite severe injuries to his breast, won the attention and admiration of fans, dopesters and critics all over the state. He goes down in Bloom- ington High School basketball history along with Ksarcy. Rogers, Marxson. Robinson. Logan. Mc- Clintock and Sponsler as the finest type of athlete. ft Piute ixv B ™E IH'. ♦ TTgotmicTU ROBERT COR REEL Floor Guard Boh Corrcll was the find «� � the season. His ability has been known and watched since he w.i i wee J. H. S. star, but no one thought he would develop as speedily as he has. Consistent, dependable, a good passer and a good goal shot, that's Bobbie 11 should be well up among the state's upper ten next year. LOWELL HILL Fomvrd and Center Lowell Mill was high point man tor the Sectional Tourney this year In one game be was sent in as a substitute and caged right held g aU. and then dropped in u free throw tor g« od measure Jack may l c seen on the Motion Route ) «r the thre« summer months, and the rest of the year he spends in elocution. ORVAL ALBERTSON Back Guard Orval Albertson is smalj but he’s the fighting kind that's bard to put anything over on. He always plays his best game. I f there is a back guard in the state with any more tight than Ikey , we want to see him. Ikcy went big with the girls in his senior year. Pane «Uty-one « tigqthictu NOBLE STULL Forward Noble Stull, who played three years at Smithviltc before he came to B H. S.. is a clever running- matc for Krueger. Nobe handles the ball better than any man on the team, and is an adroit dribbler, a dexterous passer and a speed demon. In line Noble ranks second only to Jack. EDWARD FARMER Center Edward Farmer, our protracted center, won fame when In . aged the winning field goal at Grccncastlc in the linal seconds of play. As the season wore on Bud grew better and better, and was called upon to till LancyV shoes at mid-term. Mud has another year. HOLLAND NEAL Floor Guard Holland Neal is a stocky little running guard wh.. has' developed a crashing style of busting in which will prove valuable to him later on. With increasing experience. Socrates” is expected to im- prove in leaps and hounds, as he has another year. You will get a smell of old Soc next year. Page sixty-two WINIFRED TURPIN Forivard Winifred Turpin got his rudimentary training on the Junior High School team. “Dutch is heady, handles himself well and shows promise of first- class form in the future. He has two more years, and should make them worth while. JULIUS MOSER Forward Julius Moser is a gallivanting freshman, who seems to have an athletic career before him. Equipped with great aptitude for basket shooting, passing and forty minutes of hard play, the Doc should play three years of lively basketball. NATHAN HALL Center Nathan Hall is the only member of the squad who is on Hud’s” level. Nate has grown a foot and gained forty pounds in the past two years to keep up the Hall reputation. The possibilities of Natey” holding down the wayback position next season is the topic of much discussion.

You unfortunate; who missed seeing them beat Vincennes in the second round of the state tournament last year lost the greater part of your lives. The dailies of the Hoosicr metropolis rang with the praises of the team that defeated that wonderful Vincennes aggregation, which had won thirty-nine straight victories with no losses, iti the “Hattie of the Centur Small wonder that the Franklin team, which had not played a gam. -mo the night before, defeated the Purple ami White squad, which had emerged n--m tl. terntu omte-t of the tourney only three short hours before. As a result of the work the team m the tournament. Sponsier won the unanimous choice of the critics ior the mythical all tatc luck guard position, outdistancing Jones, the all-state kick guard for 1923. from mccnnev 'with little difficulty. Logan and Krueger each received all-state positions in the selections of some sport writers. _ . The team fought through a gruelling season of twenty-nine game-. i which ■•eK 'even were listed on the reverse side of the ledger. Franklin. Vincennes. Martins ill� mil Hedf. r.| were some of the state’s leaders to out score the fighting Purple Incidental!) the team obtained sweet revenge for the upset of the state championship hopes whit It were wrecked by Russellville in 1921. The team had little difficulty in defeating the speedy little Smithvillc aggregation in the semi-finals of the sectional tournament. We not only feel justified, but we with the utmost pleasure devote this space to th. team of 1922. We of the Gothic staff arc profoundly grateful f-r all that these f-oys have done for the school and we arc certain that our opinion echoes that of the school and com- munity. It is with gratification and pride that we watch their subsequent success P«ge � lxty-ftvc THE HOWLING HUNDRED At a lime when school spirit wa at ebb title , ihc idea of a rooting corps composed oi those rooters who had contributed the most in sacrifice and loyalty during the season, was at last launched into actuality. The students lately responsible for the propa- gation of the plan arc Henry Snoddy and Joe Todd. The movement was further organised, sponsored and promulgated by the follow- ing member of the faculty. Principal (.' K Clayton. Mr. flair Hradt. Dean of Hoys; Mrs. Lottie M. Kirby, Dean of Girls; Mrs. I-aura Goff Childs, and Superintendent li N. Tirey The system of organization was carried to the minute detail of the seating of every member in a reserved section at the sectional tourney. The Howling Hundred was required to be present at all times and cheer for all teams taking the fl«� or. The distinctive dress of the organization was a doggy appearing purple and white fez hat. The hat aided in preserving an esprit dr corps. At all times the conduet of the Hundred was remarkable and many were the favorable comment which poured in after the Bed- ford game. The support accorded the team during the district ami regional tourneys was commendable, and the superb backing given the team throughout the Bedford fray never faltered. After the culmination of the basketball season, the Howling Host entertained the team as guests at an all-school banquet. The banquet was a remarkable success, am) the post-season spirit shown by the fans speaks well for Bloomington spirit The success of the Howling Hundred not only makes it a permanent institution in our high school, but will probably make it a Howling Two Hundred next year The organization had its faul s. hut will profit by its mistakes and will lie logger and more com- pact in the course of time.

To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character? These are high ideals and the school has not been slow to appraise their merit. Once a year a conference is held under the auspices ot this club, at which some of the country’s leading Y. M. C. A. and boy workers sound their battle cries of Clean Living. Clean Speech, and Clean Thinking.” The graduation of the first semester's president. Francis Wylie, was the occasion for the election Victor Burks, former secretary, to the chair. Julius Krueger was re-elected vice-president. William Ramsey was also re-elected to his office of treasurer, and Charles Gerhart was chosen to till the vacancy in the secretaryship. The work of the organization is highly constructive and is worthy of favorable com- mem fr« m the community and the high school. K Arlo Byrum founded the local Hi-Y club two years ago, and after his departure Halo Brndt took up the work. The organization derives its name from the fact that it is the high school extension of the Y. M. C. A.

In 1921 a series of debates was arranged, the purpose of which was t unearth latent penchant toward argu- mentation. The wrangles were frequent and heated. From out f the debris rose a capable group of pscudo-VVebstcrs, who immediately formed the Philomatheon Club. The interest generated by the cluh causes one to hearken back to the days when the history classes were divided into House and Senate and the amateur Clays and Hcnrys filibustered in the auditorium. Kenneth Brown has served an entire term as president, with Katharvn 1 joadlev as vice-president, while Elaine Jones and Harvey Poling are occupying the offices of secretary and treasurer respectively.

These achievements have only been accomplished by the closest organization and co- ordination of the staff ami the staff directors.

Facing numerous obstacles imposed by the tardiness of the '22 Gothic, the staff direc- tors got an early start, and one by one the imped'tnents wore surpassed The photogra- pher’s work was taken up at once and long before the winter weather had taken up its perma- nent abode in the vicinity, practically all the pictures had been taken.

Clayton employ these popsters as a first-aid-to-the-injurcd body. Whenever a school organization finds itself in deep water, it appeals to Mr. Clayton, who in turn calls before him the Boosters’ Club. The name and character of the organization bespeaks intense and whole-hearted loyalty and support to the school, its organizations and its principal. If there is any organ- ization which can call itself one made up of school leaders, it is this one. Owing to the tardiness oi steps toward organization last year, a group of leaders formed the Pep Club,” which never formally accepted the name, but was generally ac- claimed as such because of its deeds. The organization of the Booster's came late again this year, but nevertheless the body has been u power throughout the school. Row l. Lillian Smallwood.

The Glee Club had the privilege of hearing a concert given by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in Indianapolis early in the second semester.

TIIE 1922-23 GLEE CLGIt Pom � «v nty-flve fiGOTUlcfll THE SENIOR PLAY 000300 “Officer 666” Under the directorship ot Miss Cottington. of Crawfordsyillc, the cast of the Senior play achieved a significant success in its presentation of Augustin McHugh's rollicking farce in three acts. “Officer 666 was a victory over skeptics, who declared that talent was Jacking in the class of 1923. as well as a creditable performance of a play brimful of subtleties and niceties of the dramatic art. Miss Cottington. a student at Columbia University, has staged numerous amateur produc- tions. To her is due credit for whipping into shape the green material which she had at hand. Under her tutelage, meaningless gestures became expressive ones, lame speeches be- came imbued with poignant wit. Miss Jack, as sponsor of the class and head of the play committee, has performed invaluable services. She launched the cast on its work before Miss Cottington took up her duties, and has proven a wise counsellor. Travers Gladwin, a young millionaire, receives a summons to come home from Egypt. The cause—intrigue. His (dismissed) butler, Watkins, and his lawyer. Forbes, have been plotting against him in collusion. Gladwin, having come home incognito on the liner, meets his eccentric English friend. Whitney Barnes, at the Gladwin mansion. He tells Barnes of a beautiful girl by whose charm he had been smitten while lunching at the Ritz-Carlton grille. The two are dis- cussing the Gladwin collection of paintings, when two ladies call. One of them, Helen Burton, is the girl whom Gladwin had seen in the Ritz. The girls assert their desire to see Mr. Gladwin. As no one knows he is home, Gladwin, with shrewd discernment, thereby deduces that someone has taken on his name for some criminal purpose, apparently, and maintains that he is Travers Gladwin's most intimate friend. The girl expresses some surprise, but intrusts Gladwin with a message for ‘‘her” Travers Gladwin. By dint of wily evasions. Gladwin manages to discover that Miss Burton intends t marry Travers Gladwin and that they will take the best paintings with them on their honeymoon, that night. Gladwin, with the motive of discovering the pseudo-Gladwin, of saving this charming girl from hi- intriguing clutches, and of winning her tor himself, calls a policeman. Michael Phelan. Officer 666. appears upon the scene. Gladwin bribes him for the use of his uniform and sets forth on his thrilling adventure. In his disguise he easily passes, at least in the wretch Gladwin’s eyes, as the policeman on the l� eat Helen Burton's aunt comes with Sadie, the second woman in the case, to pre- vent the elopement: the unsuspecting Barnes is the “goat. The villain Gladwin, with agility of mind equal to that of the hero Gladwin, succeeds m convincing not only Helen, to whom the real Gladwin has revealed his identity, that he (the villain) is Gladwin, but also Batcato. the Japanese valet t the hero, and Phelan, who is getting worried over his chances of being discovered. The laM two acts seem an inexplicable running about of policemen, lovers and beloved, exclusive Ml a maiden aunt and a frightened servant. At last a plain-clothes man identifies the false Gladwin as a notorious picture thief and expert. No alternative remains for the policemen hut to recognize 11avers Gladwin as the man he professes to he. Phelan loses his job on the force, hut Gladwin takes him into his employ. The final daring fade-out finds Helen and Travers and Sadie and Whitney in a very touching embrace. Harold George and Mildred Shields scored appreciable hits as the dashing young mil- lionaire mid I he elegant society debutante, to whom the sobriquet of grape-fruit girl is applied. The part oi oily Wilson, the false Gladwin, was interpreted by Roger Langucll in his adroit manner. And the title role. Officer 666—wasn't it a grand and glorious Phelan? It was impossible for the audience to conceive of the fun Bill Ramsey and Bernice Beard had in rehearsing the paint-reading scene and the bizarre handcuff scene. And Oh!

Two days later the fur was again re- turned through the mail. Next Sunday at church, Lu was surprised to find out that both Mar- gie and Hernice seemed eager to re- new acquaintances.

Lucifer ascertained later that at a certain little dinky millinery store a small black fur choker, priced at $2.50, was shown in the window.

W e have vour jack, what do we care? We are un- able to unearth criticism which will justify the abrogation of our under- takings. Another thing. In past years, a short foreword has been rammed into the very throat of the nnual graduate organ to this effect: If we have given you, dear reader, one hour of pure enjoyment, we feel as if our reward were of the noblest and highest order of compensation for our efforts in behalf of the Senior Graduate Class of the Bloomington High School of Bloomington, Indi ana. May it be most remote from our hearts to criticize our predecessors. They did the best they knew how. but they were ignorant. Their mo- tive was wrong, and they were woe- fully lacking in producing that in- definable something which we have nick-named the school annual. Now we don’t feel that way about that hour of pure enjoyment at all. We know the first thing you'll rush for will be your picture. We know that your ultimate joy will be in finding that your picture has turned out well. If your likeness is good, then you praise the annual. But if it docs not exactly flatter you the an- nual is a complete failure. We know, because that's the way we feel about it ourselves. And don’t cry about it, Lizzie Smith, if Sadie Jones has her picture in more times than you! In the words of Mark Twain, the only time we arc not self-conscious is at break- fast time, and many a tear has been shed into the grape-fruit when the Ld®-J juice squirted into the eye at the psycologically wrong moment.

He saw some in- ert human forms draped and fes- tooned around over the landscape, lie noted one form less inert and more intact than the others and he knelt beside it and intelligently asked: Wass dere a excident? The man inquired of was too nearly dead to give the sort of an- swer that sort of foolish question richly deserves, so he patiently whispered: Yes. Did der logomotif hit der auto- mopeel ?

Wylie, North Walnut street, won the interstate gum chewing contest under the supervision of Miss Wohlfeld. Every seat in the house was taken and crowds jammed every available corner t witness the big athletic event of the year. Mr. Wylie chewed three hun- dred sixty-seven times a minute for two hours and seventeen minutes and forty-four and three-fifths sec- onds. The winner would have gone for a much greater length of time, hut during a sneezing tit he lost his cud at the above named time. How- ever. he had attained a safe lead, and after the withdrawal of all the other contestants his victory was as- surer!. Eva Souders would have taken second place, but she swallowed her gum after an hour and a half of hard chewing. Mi s Wohlfcld hastily substituted her own, but it was too late and she was forced to withdraw. Finery Hallman bit his tongue so badly in the first thirteen seconds that medical attention was neces- sary. lie is recovering nicely at the pest house. Dean Todd—What is elocution?
