T H K E X - E M C) F ’2 5 We, tlie class of nineteen hundred twenty-five, wish to express our appreciation and admiration for our own Madame Gene Stratton Porter by dedicating this, our annual, to her. The People of Indiana are honored by being able to say that this noted and honored writer has spent the most of her life in this, her native state. The greater majority of her well-known books were written while she was living in either Rome City, Indiana, or about Lagro, Indiana. Several of these which were written in and about Lagro, Indiana, were: “Laddie,” and “At the End of the Rainbow.” The books, “The Girl of the Limberlost,” “The Cardinal,” “The Harvester,” and “Birds I Know” were written at her home near Rome City. It is an undying remark made by numerous critics, when speaking of Mrs. Porter's novels, that “her novels portray extremely high ideals and manly and womanly characters of very high type”—also that they bear anyone’s second reading and interpretation.” Gene Stratton Porter is undoubtedly among the greatest nature observers of the modern day. It was under the spell of an inspiration which she received from some exploration through Nature’s beautiful spots that she wrote her very best works. In conclusion, we shall say that we are proud that Mrs. Gene Stratton Porter was an inhabitant of the state of Indiana, and that we hope that our book may reveal some of our deep respect for the memory of the popular and noted authoress.

T H E E X - E M () F ’2 5 I here is no need to introduce Mr. Cook to you. You all know him, not only by his ability to tell jokes, but his ability to really help us with his kind words in chapel and around the school. He is a friend to everyone and we all like him. He is a graduate of Indiana I Diversity, receiving his A. M. degree from there in 1917. Although it is but Mr. Cook’s second year here, it seems as if we had known him all our lives. Mr. Mitzner is our new principal. He comes to us from the neighboring town of South Whitley, having been principal there. He received his A. B. degree from Valparaiso University, and is now working on his A. M. degree at Indiana University. Although Mr. Mitzner is a new member of our school, he has already become a very necessary part of it. He is also advisor for the En-Em staff. Page seven
