In a very real sense the Retrospect is the an- nual history of P, A. Allen High School, for it presents in endur- ing and organized form the per- sonnel of the High School and its activities for the school year. In thus cornbining past deeds with present hopes, we have earn- estly attempted to epitoniize the Spirit of P. A. Allen High School in this, the 19126 Retrospect.

Even as I was thinking, there came a sudden whir, a rush of tl cold air, and the Thief was standing before me on the gorgeous carpet. I tg . 2 , . f'YVe're going to visit the Class of '26, he announced, 'fMinnie Reed 1 i I is around the corner at'the Grand Hotel, he's going along. lei ' t We settled ourselves upon the carpet and sailed around the cor- i ner to the hotel and there was Minnie, the sa111e old Minnie, only he had lost considerable weight. It was his Htreniens wronies he said. X Q IVell, the Thief stepped on the self-starter, there was a sudden , rush and darkness all around us. There came a sickening sense of fall- ll ing, a thudg and we looked about us at the mountain-side where we had g p ' landed. , 5 t At our right was a little white cottage with a sign which read :- 'fPike's Peak Tea Room K E ' Dawkins and Carnalli' tl We went in. I I in Ye Guides. said Minnie, Hof all places to have a tea room 5 just f,l ll I when you're starved, then-tea and wafers. H , I know itj' said a voice from the cabin and Gene Dawkins came A forth, 'ibut women must have their way. And thenlcame Mary Jane Romey to take our order. We were E very glad to see each other. She told us that Jimmie Carnall and Kate 2 Beaty were out in the garden digging onions. VVe were sorry we could 5 Q not stay to see them, but we had to go. Kate told us that a Chautauqua 5 W t 3 ' was running in Colorado Springs, and that Vivian Moon and Fred Gil- l g - Y F bert were headliners, that Maro Baumgartner and James Hedges were 1 , 3 2 in the same Chautauqua lecturing on Shakespearean Drama. v 3 1 . I 5 We went to see them and a nifty show they put on. They were I y w 5 1 ' the same old crowd we had known except that Fred had gray' hair and F was married to Kate Norris, who was their accompanist. Just as we came to the street a high-powered radio station at the Q y Broadmoor Hotel, began thus 1- f Station Z-E-R-0, Nome, Alaska. You have listened to Henry 3 . 2 Waringis Californians play Sweet Spirits from the musical comedy, . l 1 I 1 I Only Ghosts? Desdelora Counterman, star of the play, will now sing Q l I The Amendments? She will be accompanied on the piano by her hus- l I A o I ' Page Forty I H' 'A' I i 3 Q 2 'il P. A. ALLEN HIGH SCHOOL 'W f A , -2 Q-vw band, Ralph Clark. NVe stayed and listened awhile to this wonderful music, then we climbed' aboard the Magic Carpet once more. This time we landed in the African J Qgles. Ahead of us a lady was seated on a magnificent lion. Just got him, she said, joyfully to us. We recognized Mary Evers. Reine Earhart is coming witl1 a. gorilla. VVe're in for big game, just like our old basketball team back in Bluffton. We heartily agreed and asked her how long she had been here and when she had chosen this unique profession. 'According to her story, Kathryn Lambert, Esther Roof, and Justine Williams were missionaries in darkest Africa. They were afraid of the wild animals, and had Mary, Ted Meyer, and Reiiie Earhart along to scare away the Bears and Bob- cats. We took a little trip down to the village to hear our missionaries preach. We were welcomed most heartily. Natalie Cotton and Elizabeth Morgrette, they informed us, had just left for the South Sea Islands to ish for green-eyed salmon for the Metropolitan Museum. We then boarded the Magic Carpet once more and sailed for the South Sea Islands. ' Here we saw not only Natalie and Elizabethjbut many more of our old classmates. Bob Shafer was there teaching the sun-burned natives how to play indoor football, and Alva Motz had devoted his life to glass blowing in a nearby shoe store. Reed Logan was also here shooting some scenes for his next big production, The Diamond, with Dorothy Dykes as leading lady, and Robert Barnes as co-star. The climate was rather Warm so we decided to hunt a cooler atmosphere. We found it in Iceland. Here We also found Oscar Carnes managing a big book-binding company. We were glad that Ed had at last found a profession that he liked. All at once we heard quite a commotion around the corner. We investigated and learned that Lois Chalfant, tl1e most daring bandit of the age, had almost killed the Crown Prince and had frightened his Princess, Louise Hale, into hysterics. This tragedy was only averted by Louise's sharp tongue. The case is at present being tried by the Hon. Duane Culbertson, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Iceland. We'll go to China next. On the way we'll drop off at Hawaii and see if there is anyone there that we know? So Hawaii was our goal. There we found Devota Travis as tl1e wife of the Commander of Schofield Barracks. It was the same Harvey O'Higgerie, who used to write those absorbing letters of long ago. They were very glad to see us and entertained us royally in their Honolulu ' ' I ' ' ' ' ' I 'MA' ' X ,EH : Page Forty-one iff-'55 , 51, . -fi , I . 'Q E51 ,.

When we got to China we hunted around for a restaurant, as we were very hungry by this time. Someone near us said, Hungry? Lady and gents? Chop suey and very good hot dogs. VVe looked around and beheld Peck High in a Chinese eating booth. He soon recognized us and told us his sad story. We learned that he and his wife, Catherine Stahl, went to find the lot they purchased in Florida and that they chased it clear through to China. VVe bought a Chinese newspaper, and with Vernell's help we found that the Nlnvincible Ingersollsj' American Acrobats, were giving a performance at the Mah Jongg Theater. lVe bought a ticket and went. When the curtain rose a figure leaped on the stage and bellowed: Lad-ees an' gentlemen I Yes, it was Dick Julian, and the other Invincible Ingersoll was Irene Murray-Bowman. Again the curtain rose and this time it was the world's champion typist, Margaret Grove, my old rival for stenographic supremacy. f'Back to U. S. A., said the Thief, and we were soon in New York City. A What a jam of traflicll' we all exclaimed, as we looked down from our floating carpet. Right in the midst of the melee was Harry Clark coolly directing trucks and limousines, the proverbial 'Nred-headed Irishmanf' We sailed up to the window of a sky scraper and looked in. There sat Clara Fackler painting a most marvelous picture. It was of U. S. President Huyette. On the Great ,White Way we met many of our acquaintances. Mary Belle Hunt was the wife of an Ossian millionaire who owned a string of filling stations. Louise Goodwin was starring in the play, Abies' Canadian Thistle, written by Mabel Huss. We couldn't afford to miss it, so we went in and sat down. A baby in the next seat reached over and hit the Thief in the eye. Angrily we turned, but our ire soon changed to gladness for here was Leone Grove and Oscar Dickinson and their six children in New York for a little vacation. Oscar was Presi- dent of the Poneto Grain and Seed Company. In the evening we went to the Follies. Lloyd Hurt, as an under study of Al J olson, was the black faced comedian. Two of the actors in the next scene were Geneva' Mc uarry and Betty Plessinger. We rec- ognized them after a while but they had changed quite a bit.

They had found roses and water- melons growing in the region of the Northern Lights, and through their untii-ing efforts an American Hag was now iioating from the top of the North Pole. They had left General George McFarren on guard and were sure they could trust l1i1n because l1e had just been made a general by President Huyette. You might visit the Redds in Florida, she suggested, you know Neil married Bernice Leyse, a11d they are both in the movies. They're at Coral Gables on their honeymoon. ' So the next day found us in the Sunny South. Eldon Lesh was janitor in a big l1otel down there and liked the work very much. That afternoon we went for a dip. The Thief nearly drowned in that treacherous water g but he was nobly rescued by the star life- guard, George Mclioberts. George also likes his work, and we had a pleasant chat. To our sorrow we learned that Bob Mentzer had been severely wounded by a shark just the day before and was recovering at his Boca Raton home. His wife, Mary E. Burgan, the novelist, was with him. That afternoon Louise Polfenberger and Margaret Wilkins en- tertained a large crowd of famous and wealthy people with their mirac- ulous high diving at the Venetian Pool. Among the crowd we saw Edith Shoup and Count Le Gardi, her aristocratic husband, just arrived fro111 Europe. VVith them were Justine Sowards Vanderbilt of New York City and Newport, and the Honorable Mary McFarren, Governor of Arkansas. A We heard some people talking about the prominent scientist, Jack Lewis, who had discovered an ether-wave path to the moon. WVe later learned that Anna Louise Spake was running a one-man taxi from the earth to tl1e 111oon. But the greatest surprise we had was when we read in the morning paper that Eunice Reinhart l1ad just succeeded in swim- ming the English Channel. Elsewhere in the sa111e paper we learned that Leota Zehrung, famous pschycologist, had just learned l1ow to make hair grow by concentrating thought waves on the back of a bald head. Still further we read that Mary V 2111111111011 had been injured badly in a collision with a car driven by Minnie Sutilef. And at last we read: f'Mrs. Martha Elizabeth Betty lVatson Valentino Sabatini Biltmore Vane Bumblebuzz will arrive from Madagascar on the Olympic Liner f'Levia- than tomorrow. VVhen the Thief left us at our Persian Palace we thanked him for our wonderful trip. -ETHEL HENNEFORD. -PAUL REED. , ,fe fx. .J-.V -, on ww V '-vw X.-Y we V ww .vu .,'N,-ev-rf,-4-ff. ww 4 5 5. . li lil!!

Allen f EY High School to face the trials and tribulations that fall to the lot of t. Freshmen. Not long after the opening of school class meeting was held. 5 g, s . Here we found that our class advisors were Miss Riggs a.nd Mr. Wliite. 5 Officers were elected. We chose Dale Prough, President, Herschel Rob- i bins, Vice-Presidentg and Jack Longden, Secretary-Treasurer. Bernice l i , Boyd was chosen Comet Reporter. XVe chose American Beauty and Sil- ver for our class colors. it On a brisk moonlight October night we learned what a hayride itll Ei was. lVe went out to Catherine Higgins' and had a weiner roast. The Si chaperons on the hayride were Miss Riggs, Miss lValtz, Mr. XVhite, and iT 1 Mr. Rippe. Ev i l On the following September we entered the same building through the very same doors, but i11 an entirely different mood. For we 'S H Q L2 were mighty Sophomores this year instead of green Freshmen. There was an increase in the number of our class for the mid- 'N 3111 731 . 1 1 7 year Sophomores had to join us. To balance our increase i11 member- X A t ship we had to have three class advisors 5 namely, Mrs. Morris, Miss Pat- fl ton and Miss Williaiiison. it . As class officers this year, Lawrence Crosbie was elected Presi- dent, Wanda Rector, Vice-President, and Margaret Lepper, Secretary- ,Q Treasurer. Bernice Boyd was chosen as Comet Reporter. VVe, as a class, have arrived at the half point in our High School course, and stand ready under our colors of American Beauty and Silver ' 1 to do anything of which we are capable to bring honor to P.

Basket Ball Basketball during the season of 1925-26 has probably been the best year ever experienced in Bluffton High School. Coach Bippe worked and toiled with a squad of ten men and finally moulded from them a team of which the whole school and town could be proud. After getting off to a slow start, the Tigers came back and played a wonderful game of ba.sketball. Their floor work was smooth and fast, their accuracy at making baskets was improved, and their iight was perfect. After being defeated by several of the teams in the county they came back two weeks before the Sectional Tournament and defeated Lancaster Center, one of Bluffton's biggest basketball rivals. In win- ning this game the Tigers also won the County Brick, this seemed to in- still new pep into the team. They continued playing a great brand of ball, which carried them through the Sectional Tournament. In the Tournament they had to play three games on Saturday. 111 the iii-st game the Tigers downed Petro- leum by a large score. However, it took all the reserve force that Bluff- ton had to defeat the Union Center squad in the semi-finals of the tour- ney. They finished with only four men playing. In the final game of the tournament the Tigers easily defeated their old rival, Liberty Center, by the score of 25-22. ' By virtue of the Tigersf victory in the Sectional Tournament, they met Kendallville in the Regional Tournament at Fort IVayne. In this game the Tigers played their best basketball of the season, and defeated Kendallville by the score of 37-18. The Tigers 1net Fort IVayne in the finals of the Begional, and were defeated 31-19. The game was a greater struggle than the score indicates. At the end of the first half the Tigers lead by the score of 12-115 but many fouls were called on Bluffton the last half. It was by this route that they were defeated. IVe are justified in feeling proud of the fflfighting Tigers, the greatest basketball team ever produced in Bluffton High School. The support given the team by the student body and the City was perfect during the entire basketball season of 1925-26, and it is to them that we extend thanks for the followine' gifts: D Ellis-331000.00 gift for addition to gymnasium.

Frauhiger was lost from the squad 115, at the last of the season through ehange of residence. Many good men will have opportunity to battle for B. H. S., viz: Sivigart, Knoble, Bax- QE: ter, Gerber. Crosbie, Shannon, and Rudy. With only the loss of three 53 men, Earhart, High, and Carnall, Bluffton High School will be repre- sented during the season of 1026-27 by a team that will win over the entire state. This year the Tigers scored well earned victories over Liberty Center, Lancaster Center, bVLl1'l'6ll, Auburn, Kendallville, Decatur, and if Hartford City.

S., passed through a l very successful season last year when the team won nine out of twelve games. Two of those lost were partly evened when we defeated both y Montpelier and Huntington later in tl1e season. The team last year was captained by Bob Ralston, star pitcher. His former home was in Kansas, and early this year he was forced to ,il leave Bluffton and return to Kansas. This was a severe blow to the E' team, as Bob was only a Junior. Arnold Ivans, a Senior, who won ive games last season by putting so much smoke on the balls that it was S practically an impossibility to co11uect with them, left school the 'nrst ' l semester. He decided to be the first of the class of '26 to be married, and l thus we lost another valuable man. The team this year is composed of last year's players, most of whom are underclassmen. They are captained by Lawrence Neeman V' Crosbie, a Sophomore. Neeman is over six feet tall and holds down the P - territory around first base. The other members of the team are: Heller, pg Prough, pg Clannin, pg Baxter, cg Crosbie, lb, Knoble, 2b, Gerber, -' 3bg Rix, rfg Shannon, lf, Redding, cf. The second team is composed of underclassmen who furnish the y varsity with plenty of oppositionin practice. Coach Templin has arranged nine games for the team this year. The season promises to be a very interesting one, as we have games with ' our old rivals, South Side, of Fort YVayne, Central, of Fort Wayne, l Huntington, Decatur 3 and Lancaster. Under the guidance of Coach Templin we are bound to close this season without a defeat. l l v w 1 w 1 l I 4 K , ly A Ag! y E3 l ID? 'Af . . .

Wrestling Wrestling is a sport in which any boy may participate. Twenty men answered Coach Rippe's call for real men, and under his training he produced a team which is bound to make an impressive showing in the State meet next year. T Coach Rippe held four meets this year to give the fellows exper- ience in the art of wrestling. These meets were with Vvlabash and Pe- troleum. Wabash won the State championship in wrestling last year, and Rippe's men made an impressive showing in the VVabash meets. The men who made the team were: Baker, C. Schrieber, J. Schrie- ber, Huss, Hamilton, Burroughs, Harris, Clark, McRoberts, and Lewis. These men were entirely new at the sport, as 11one of them had ever wrestled in a match before. Of the above, four will receive letters. Robert Burroughs won a fall against Petroleum, C. Schreiber won a decision over Holloway of Petroleum 5 H. Baker won a decision over Duke of Petroleum, a11d Lewis won a decision with Wabash. Q The home matches were held at the High School Gym and were attended by large crowds. VVrestling is a popular sport and will rank higher in P. A. A. H. S. next year, because it will be given more prominence. ' f-Q ' 1- -V 'wr .

The previous editors of the Retrospect Were: Bob Baumgardner, Dean Reynolds, Ray Hurd, Hubert Smith, Dwight Bell, Al Robinson, Alden Tabor, and Luzerne lVeilemann. This year's executive is Ray- mond Huyette. VVe have tried very hard to make this issue a success. WVe have encountered more trying conditions than have ever met a Retrospect Staff before Since we were 11ot permitted to have a Class Play to raise money to back the Retrospect, We had to exceed all records for circula- tion and advertisements. However, with the admirable help of our class We have put our best into it and have succeeded, because: Ulf you give to the world, the best you have, the best will come back to you.

'E ' Since then we have lived up to the motto, 'tlivery issue a. little betterf' L To keep up interest in the Comet, we had a banquet at least once IE y a. month, where we had a good social time. VVe discussed how we could l . l y make our Comet more attractive and pleasing. Some plan was always , l found to make the Comet different and to make it go over big? E 5 Our twenty-page tournament edition was the first of its kind, and wi 3 the largest edition ever printed in all the Co1net's history. WVC sold 3 if six hundred copies, thus breaking all sales records. i . People said that the April Fool Issue was clever, interesting, and p I original. It was all that and more with its 111any colored pages. i Q Printing tl1e Comet looks like a lot of fllll, but it requires time, 7 - talent, originality, and hard work to put out good issues. 5 Our subscribers can scarcely Wait 'till Comet Day, and then they 5 fairly scramble to reach the Comet salesman' first. l ' Q' The advertisements of the patronizing Business Men make Olll' .

There are four divisions: Sunshine in the School, Sunshine in the community, and the Entertainment and Christmas Committees. There has also been a Candy Committee. This year saw the or- iii? ganization of a Rooster Club. This last is for the purpose of supporting I E the games and sports of Allen High and has taken the place of the Howvl- E ing Hundred of '25, l Evrey year the Club has given either a Christmas party for chil- E dren, or has helped families in need, thus advancing the spirit of Sun- lg shine in the Community. Then, to help School spirit, the Freshmen ,gg tg? have been given girls as big sisters out of the Senior and Junior classes Egg to help them their studies and school activities. ,gi This is the creed we follow: With love in heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I I Q will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others, I gig' lj shall try to it myself to give intelligent service in making the Commun- ity in vvhich I live a safer and more beautiful place for little children.
