H Sophomore Criumph. t'Cahen from the Chronicles of the 'Cribe of ,97.l CII.-Xl 1'l2R I. I. Now it came to pass that on the twelfth day of the sixth month in the year one thousand-eight-hundred-and-ninety- HVC,E1IldIA!ItllC reign of Irwin, surnamed -lohn, there ':tw'f'Ce1'tairi mighty men of the tribe of 'gf who Came together in a secret place. 1. .Xnd ffzql' said, Lo Y on the morrow the tribe of 'og will go out into the cold world, for fzwzfthe wise men ofthe School Board have so said. 3. ,Xnd now is the glory of 'Qf great, but let us make it much greaterg greater even than is the nerve of Hellguy, the Wlaynestreetite. 4. And it 'rms good in their sight that it should be thusly,and they made Qfa banner and upon it they put heathen sym- bols, signifying their glory. 5. For they said, XVe ref!! place our banner on the utmost part of the cupola, even upon the Hag-staff. 6. Now they also got them a war cry, that people might have knowledge of their vocal power. 7. And when these labors were done, they rested, even into the middle part of the night, CH.x1 rER ll. 1. And it came to pass that on the morrow, when they did go unto the campus, there was much swearing and gnashing of teeth: and the 'Q6's seeing the triumph of '9j, rent their clothes. 3. .Xnd a i't' rfrzfn '96, called Freddymac, the Calvinite, said unto his brothers, Verily I say unto you, the glory of '96 is overshadowedg but we will not abide this thing, for the banner of '97 is fastened with but slender fastenings, yea, with taclcs of small size, is it made fast. 3. And they went stealthily upwards, ufwi unto the abode of the lfreshman. 4. llut now the men of 'gf saw that there uw: evil in the hearts of the 'Q6's, and they said, Let vs send johnson, the lYil- liamite, to spy upon the doings of '96, 1. And it was done the same hour. CHAPTER III. I. And it came to pass fha! the '96's were not wary enough, for johnson, the Wfilliamite, did see them enter the bellfry, which is beyond the garret, which is called straight. 2. And he waxed exceeding wroth. 3. And lo, and behold, he laid hold on the Calvinite and wrested from him the sacred banner, even the banner of the tribe of 'Q7. 4. Now he barely escaped with his life, and returned to the camp of the tribe of '97 on the campus, and their wise men were full of joy, and did hoist their banner again. 5. And on the campus the battle waxed hot, even unto the hotness of Hy time. Ciiaifiik IV. I. Now there were in the land, Thomas,the son of Davis, and Freddymac, the Calvinite, and ffhjf were the leaders of the tribe of '96. 2. And of the '97's there were many valiant warriors, for ffzere wax Iitlralph, the Yarnelliteg and Henshaw, the Crimiteg and Foster, the son of Hartman, and Marcellus, the Boulevarditeg and VVorthington, the Crocodile, and Langlet, the Libbyite, and many other renowned warriors, and they were exceeding strong. 3. S0 ffm! the hosts of 'Q7 took the citadel of the '96's, even the steps 1c'h1'vlz lead unto the temple of learning, and they drove them therefrom and hurled them headlong unto the ground, and the place knczv them no more. 4. And of the tribe of lQ5, they all were the allies ot the tribe of '97g and the leaders of the tribe of '95 did say unto their followers. Verily this tribe of '97 is mighty indeed, more mighty than is the bulk of Cressler, surnamed the Fat. Let us join their battle cry. 5. And the tribe of 195 llllllf shout the battle cry, vzfezz the battle cry of VQ7. 6. Now were the '96's clothed with much shame, 125 with a mantle, and did go in unto chapel with crestfallen looks, even as a whipped dog goeth under the back porch. 7. And the '97's did sing hosannas and songs of blessingjbz' they said, Have we not overcome our enemies, the tribe of '96? Glory and honor ever be to the Scarlet and the Black. S. And the name of the placej7'w11 that day was calledfz'11d1zZ1-c.:e1', which being interpreted is The Valley of Blood. My Pony, My pony was the funniest steed. l rode him mighty wellg For l'd taken lessons a longr, long time- Thougfh remember, you're not to tell. lily pony was ofthe funniest hueg il sort of an apple green. And his back was stuck on with a dab of glue The best way ever seen. His tail! Oh! many a tale had he, But none so good and true lls the tale discovered when I opened his side And translations came to view. So here's advice to the toiling class: Ride your pony one and all llnd when you have ridden him +1 uite enough Just tie him in his stall. Yes, ride your pony one and all, And be sure to pull his tail ftalej 5 And if you follow his words so true, You will very seldom fail. in M Hnsvoers to Inquiries. CRU4si-1 I-Ioxrox flf you buy a dozen different editions of Virgil's Aeneid, you can, no doubt, obtain a complete trans- lation from the notes. LELLII-1 Nawsox-XVe advise you to substitute the ironing board for the key board. l3lLL1P l,HURSLEYf-XYOl1llQ men do not usually raise a moustache until over twenty-one, but of course there are excep- tions. A good razor can be bought almost anywhere for 332. A shave at a barber shop cost IO cents. DURGE RICGONALIJ -- Getting through recitations creditably without previous preparation is more ofa gift than an art. XVe know of no book on the subject. Yox Yoxsox-fThere are many anti-fat preparations on the market, but we positively cannot recommend patent medicines in these columns. Cnos. McToRAnCk4The fact that the teacher would not give you time to express your ideas on the subject would indicate that they were not worth listening to. llukxs Boeoexsse-See answer to Yonson. SPAUD NIERRY-NYC do not know the exact date on which VVilliam's College closes. Certainly, your eagerness to know is perfectly excusable. YALPH RARNELLE --lt is not exactly the custom for a young man to pay attention to a young lady twice his age, but if she calls you Sonny l suppose it is vindicable. l,Enl:Ek'1' li.-XN4ifOf course the Daisy is a charming flower, but you should not make your choice of nature's beauties so very evident. Q ARDENT Solfnoxloklir-XYe cannot see any sublime significance in your colors, such as you imagine. On the contrary, yellow is typical of small-pox and purple of easter eggs. Qll-QMAN Norms-X'Ve cannot state positively, but we believe that there are two or three other L'niversities besides Princeton in the l'nited States. JANITOKJXNC know of no formula by which thermometer readings can be corrected after the instruments have been hxed. YON Yoxsox ffYes, itwas very unkind of those burly Freshmen to try to break up your class meeting and you did nobly to prevent it. - ' Q XVANNIE NILLIAx1sASarcasm is a figure of speechg and as such should not be indulged in too often. Miss HARION lX'IAR'rMAN!Tl1e feat you speak of is truly marvelous. Men have been known, in diving to describe ares with their bodiesg but we have never heard of one diving round a Corner. FLARENCE CRYER-XYCS, the custom of sending valentines is a very pretty oneg but I believe that it is in better form to refrain from signing your name. LALPH RANE'1Axlfl'l0L1gl1 your betrothed went to a dance with another, I should think it highly improper for you to walk home with them. CRALTER XVRIRI-If you would every night take your voice out and clean it good with a solution of lamp-black and Chicago river water, you would either lose your voice or its disagreeable features. RAY JEAD-NVe understand that no injury can result from wearing glasses made of common window glass. They often give a scholarly look to a person who is far from being such. SPAUD lN'lERRYMXVe admire your sense of propriety that does not permityour speaking the name, the attributes, and sur- roundings of his Satanic majesty. Perhaps you could get excused from taking Paradise Lost. RESSIE -lE1'rzE-Yes, we think you are growing taller every day. SEILM NMITH-A frock coat is hardly the thing to wear at school. Buttonhole boquets give a young man a foppish appearance. Don't blame them if they smiled at your wearing a frock coat with duck trousers at commencement. It is as bad as a girl wearing a summer hat and a seal skin cape. GRXVIN EDD'fTl16 thermometers are securely fastenedg but you might put some ice under the bulb. CRUGH HCJX'fON-Mlld stains may be taken out of sweaters by vigorous rubbingg the oyster smell will never come out. Send us a stamped envelope and we will give you our formula for a hair raiser. POT EATERSfThC matting was burned by the janitor, after destroying the beautiful odor of the Chemical Laboratory. Try one of the drug stores. SAGUSTA EWAI.L1No doubt you are perfectly correct in imagining that you can take the valedictory at any College as well as at the High School, but you should refrain from saying so, lest people think that you are conceited. ' RERMAN Ho1.F--Yes, we think that if G. E. had joined the Basket Ball team he should have been impeached, and there- by given you a chance to till the presidents chair. NVe do not know just the exact duties ofa mascot: but think that Hezekiah could tell von. XVERTIE G1LD1Nt:-We don't know all the circumstances, or we might advise you. Are you sure they are the same choco- lates you sent him ? RAY -lli.-XD-XYSSI if, as you say, you have all the girls on your side you can probably be elected president next year. Oh yes, the motto can be changed. SEILM NMITHWNO, we don't know of a good riding pony for sale: but you might ask ,leems. Yes: you can get a four inch collar made at almost any harness shop: but are you utterly devoid of taste? -IELSIE ,XXSOX-lt was probably an accident that he didn't erase the price mark. lf you'll send us your name and a stamp we will give you the desired information. liLFRED .'ltNIi7XvOL1 might ask N. XY.: we know no sure cure for blushing. It was probably accidental that she got the seat in front of you. ORRACE C. I-lL'LLof.H!You can get tin soldiers at any toy shop. Read our book on How to conduct a Revolution, price QQ cents. BELENE HIDDLE--NX'e don't blame you for having a good time on that sleigh ride, You might write to Spalding X Co. XVe do not know the price of sporting goods. IXIERTIE GORRIS- No one noticed whose picture it was you were wearing. XVALPH R. li.-XRXELLIC--YOLI should apologise for not keeping that engagement. Your namesake will not be back until about -lune 20. DEXY RX'P1R-Sllt lives in New Haven, Ind. You might try and see. Xve cannot say we join with you in thinking that you are better looking than the average young man. Rouse Iasriiv-Xo. there were no misspelled words in your note. You did perfectly right. He says he knows nothing about it. Srxxcn liLt7DvfYou are young yet, take a few years to think it over: if the young men engage in hostilities, reject them both. XYR.xcE G.-xI.'rERs-Xo, we do not think flirting is permissable, even it he is good looking. XYe are sorry for you: but perhaps the next junior class will know better than to choose a prophet. .c.f. vnp..n,v-vNn.,v-vv,fv- OBJECT-To save for that honoralole body, known as the School Board, a large portion of their salary appropriation, by perforniing the functions of their several offices ttfitlioiit any pecuniary remuneration.

V N4 XVhy, it was like this 1 One of the Sophs. was in the book store while they were purchasing themg and he saw them go over to the Y. M. C. A. and start a boy out with them. Now, D- was afraid the boy would leave the wrong one at M-'s, so F- put a card with two bleeding hearts, pierced by an arrow, on the one he was sending. XVasn't that rich f' XVell, when that boy got out on Fairfield Avenue, he did a brilliant thing. He forgot whether he was to deliver the valentine to the young lady or to her mamma, so he pushed the bell and called for mamma. Funniest thing though, was that F- had forgotten to erase the price mark. He's glad she sits up in the garret though, for he blushes quite easily. XVell, I should say so l Those valentines fixed 'em both all right. Say, you should have seen those two pairs of doves cooing during the freeze out at school. They were studying Latin ffl in the basement by the furnace, in order to keep tcuzrllz. They did. Yes, he has it pretty bad. Didn't you hear them smile when she had her seat changed to the big room right next to him. You missed half your life. And blushffmyl a lobster would have been pale by the side of that blush, XVell, so long, l'm going oyer to the Y.

B. Falls reface. I N PRESIQNTING this volume to the gaze and criticism of the public, the Eniauton Staff feels certain that its eltorts in a literary line will not be unappreciated. The editors fully realize that they have entered, for the first time, a held wherein success can only be achieved through experience and ability. lt is their misfortune, not their tault, that they are unaccustomed to such work, and as to their ability, remember that they are but common mortals. In view of this they hope that the public will look kindly upon their maiden effort in journalism, and that they will f pardon all errors that may be found within these covers. The publication of an annual is an innovation at the lfort XVayne High School. l,ast year the class of '96 made the tirst effort in this direction. Although their production was not a thing of beauty and a joy forever, it was a step in a new held, and deserves credit as such. Perhaps it was not the fault of 'QCP that I'vdette has become synonomous with ln debt, but their tinancial disaster cast a serious aspect upon a second publication, Yet the fact that '96 did not succeed has not deterred 'of from nraking a like and greater effort. '97 has always claimed to be superior to '96 in every wry im iginjtble, and with this volume as a witness she submits her boast to the decision of the public. .Ns 'of bids farewell to the High School, she leaves behind her this volume, a record of her ability and enterprise, to succeeding' classes an example worthy of imitation. .Xnd it is her fond hope that her suc- cessors will continue the publication ofthe lfniauton, improving it year by year. lf the liniauton becomes thus estab- lished in the lligh School, and yearly developes into greater size, interest, and excellence, the Statt of gf, the pioneer editors, will feel that they are more than repaid for their efforts. Their warmest thanks and appreciation are tendered Messrs. XY, lfJ, limi: and lf. R. li.fXR1it,JXX'5 for the personal interest they have taken in the work and for many valuable suggestions. l.ikewise, they desire to thank the patrons of the advertis- ing department for their generous assistance in a pecuniary way. 13 2 if F url -3 if QS RL 'Q'-L... ,.

HI-I present Superintendent of the Fort NVayne Schools is a native of Indiana. He was born in XYayne county, and it was here that he spent his boyhood, receiving from the country school that early training which prepared him for entrance later to the Academy at Hagerstown. Here Mr. Study completed his preparatory work and soon after entered Ohio Wesleyan University, from which he was graduated in lS7I, with the degree of .X, li., receiving later, from the same institution, the degree of JX. M. Mr. Study's work as a teacher began early. He was but eighteen and still an undergraduate, when he entered the profession which he has so successfully followed down to the present time. Immediately upon his graduation he entered upon the duties of Superintendent of Schools at Anderson, Indiana, a position which he nlled for ten years. During this time he succeeded in thoroughly organizing the schools and in lniiigiiig about such needed reforms as placed the school system upon a firm basis. The years 1331434 were spent at Greencastle, Indiana, where as Superintendent, Mr. Study, among other reforms, was instrumental in building' up the High School, and so successful were his efforts that the school to-day may, perhaps, boast of having the largest proportional attendance of any in the state. From Greencastle, Mr. Study went to Richmond, where he spent twelve years, during which time he became widely known for his work along educational lines, and obtained that prominent place among the educators of Indiana which he occupies to-day. To those who are unacquainted with the character and work of Mr. Study, a short sketch, such as the present must of necessity be, can not butbe unsatisfactory:ibut to those who already know something of his life, and have met him in the friendly relations which he holds with all who are connected with him, these few words may be of deeperinterest. Certainly they cannot fail in later years to remind the members of the Class of '97 of the quiet, kindly man, under whom as Superintendent, they completed their course at the Fort W'ayne lligh School. 4 '97 SONNET. :. lt is with a feeling of sadness, that we think of the swift-Coming day, XYhen our four happy years will be ended, and we shall leave High School for aye Qui' dearly loved temple of learning, within whose benehcent walls We've received the foundation of knowledge that prepares us for more famous halls XYhieh may in renown be far greater, and may to our hearts become dear, Still, our truest affections will ever drift back to the joyous days here. .Xh, yes, the old clock in the hall-way, with its unceasing, rhythmieal How, May be 1116215-iI'lI1gtl1C happiest moments, perchance that we ever shall know l XYe each have a life-work before us, and many a lesson to learn- hlay we master them nobly and bravely, and never from life's duties turn.

Hlf members of the class of '97 are about to leave the prison through which they have worn the ! Scarlet and Black stripes for four long years. No longer will the cruel task-masters abuse us within those walls. No longer will we keep step with the ringing of that bell, which has sent its clear tones to the ears of our parents. Now, at last, we are about to be pardoned and we will soon breathe the pure air of freedom. Vtfe have already won local fame, and our future deeds will be read in the pages of history during the twentieth century. For our masters, although time has made them cruel and harsh, have tilled our brains to the brim with knowledge, and, if it does not spill out, the world will hear from us. In this world everything has a beginning, and so had this class. Convicted of knowing too much, we were sentenced to an indefinite term at High School. When we hrst entered the building, the old walls shook with the weight ol' our importance. the teachers trembled with fear, and the other classes murmured softly to themselves their nursery prayer. On account of their fear, some of the teachers became so rash that they left single blessedness for united discord. others were stricken with grief, while the superintendent thought that he was not worthy tohand diplomas to such an illustrious class, and decided to give way to another. K Our lirst year was spent in a peaceful manner, for no one seemed inclined to molest us, and we were too young to think of doing anything to displease our fellow beings. Teachers who at first feared us, now honored us, and we were held np as a model of goodness and perfection to the other classes. XVe entered our Sophomore year infused with more class spirit, more energy, and more knowledge. Nothing of importance transpired through the year. But if the months went by without deeds of valour, the last day did not pass by without being reminded that we were still alive. Four brave lads could tell how they sealed those old walls, as the Court House clock struck the midnight hour: how they obtained entrance into the deathlike school and proceeded to the upper story, and how they mounted those dormers, reaching the roof, and how they ascended the lofty tower. Clinging to the rickety framework, they swung a banner to the breeze and nailed it fast. From a distance one might have seen that ensign bearing in huge letters Nas 511111115 fv11j511f1 ' and glorious old 'Q7.H For the first time in the history of the High School a bold and daring feat had been attempted and accomplished. Recall the suprise of the sleepy juniors, when, collecting on the campus the following morning, they saw the banner high above them. They were at a loss to know what to dog but fii1ally41111'r11bz'l1' 1z'1'1't11-a thought seized the '96 horde,- pull it down. So up the steep stairs one climbs not knowing that anyone was following. He reaches the coveted spot and is about to lay his hands upon the prize, when Johnson steps up and folds him to his breast, and for his act of impudence is about to hurl him from the parapet, down upon the cruel stones, as Theseus once served the robber Sciron. But the frantic -Iunior pleads for his life, and he is spared. but only from instant death. He is taken down to the school yard. Then he is booted about in a goodly fashion. Then the juniors rush to the rescue. The classes clash in combat, and '96 bites the dust. But for the intervention of the faculty. '96 would have been wiped from the face of the earth and '97 would have had blood stains on its hands. With the fear and reverence we had aroused in the '96s, we came to our junior year, which will always be remembered as the most thrilling year in history ofthe High School. While Fort VVayne was celebrating her Centennial, we decided to take a hand in the matter. Accordingly, a large tally-ho was procured and gorgeously decorated with '97 bunting. People of all nationalities and from all parts of the world stood amazed at the brilliant sight: and, not knowing our vocal power, we informed them of it by a mighty yell. An old pioneer who was standing near by said timidly to a person next to him, I have heard Indian war whoops and blood curdling death yells, but never before have I heard the equal of this. Not long after this event, again tive '97 youths scaled the walls of the gloomy building during the still night. Scarlet and Black streamers were dung to the breeze, and, that no mortal hand might ever reach them, the ladder in the tower was drawn up and the trap door nailed shut. XYhile they were at work, a dream came upon the slumbering janitor: in his sleep he saw the boys at work upon the tower. Urged by his sense of duty he whispered softly to Diana, who was on her way to have a skate at the reservoir, to go to the school house and undo the work. Astonished at the audacity of the mortal, she was about to pierce him with one of her arrows when she noticed that he was asleep, Then,moved by curiosity so common to her sex, she betook herselfto the school and viewed our streamers. Ah, she sighed, how beautiful! This, indeed, is too fair for mortals to possess, it must surely have been put up here as an offering to jupiter, and so I will take it to him that I may win his good favor. Thus it was that mortal eyes never fell upon those streamers. But not long afterward the Scarlet and Black came forth in a different manner. On one of those beautiful spring days last year, bent on a botanizing expedition, we appeared on the campus wearing scarlet and black sweaters. '96 with open mouths stared blankly at us, and got in our road until ordered into school by the principal. The '98s aspired to imitate us, a few months afterward they came forth in strange, foreign looking garments. They said they were sweaters,fmay heaven forgive them for it. On graduation night we again opened the eyes of our school mates by appearing in white duck trousers and blue Serge coats. For once '96 was proud of us. They were delighted to think that we were ushering at their commencement exer- cises. -Of the awful crime we committed that night, we need not here speak, an account of it may be found elsewhere in this book. But now the time is approaching when 'Qj will bid farewell to the High School, where it has been the chief object of interest, and the soul and spirit of school life. J Our term has been served. Qui' sentence has expired. Soon we will separate, scme will go gone way, some another.

In the spring of the year eighteen hundred and ninety-four, the teachers of each and every school in the city bade a fond and tearful farewell to the scholars who had from childhood been the pride of their hearts, and who were now to leave them to enter a broader heldfa held from which these fond teachers foresaw that they would depart in triumph with an admiring world at their feet. In the fall of the same year, with a blithesome heart and a determined will, the class of '93 entered the Freshman class of Fort VVayne High School. In the Hrst place, we had the honor-an honor that had been reserved for some years that it might be conferred upon us-of being the first Freshman class to occupy the third floor of the building. 133. It was thought best by the Superintendent and by other officials, that our class should remain in one vast body to startle and con- found Q4 jthose who might come from abroad to gaze at a class which, even at this early date, had gained so much renown. It is needless to say that we passed this term with much credit to ourselves,reverencingtheSeniors, cherishing an undying love for the juniors, but not unjustly disdaining the Sophornores, However, there never was an outbreak between the two classes- let it be added, this was through no fault of the Sophomores, as they, seeing in us a dangerous rival, often endeavored to harass us, but were at all times unsuccessful. 1.51. l.

Numerous clubs had been formed the year previous by members ul' the class, but nothing. however. in the nature ot' a class society. On the afternoon nl' Septeniber 11th, ISQ6, a meeting was called, otticers were elected, colors were chosen, and a committee was appointed to draw up a constitution. The constitu- tion with by-laws was duly presented to and accepted by the class. The committee on colors, being H nl an artistic turn of mind, selected blue and green as class colors: but they were later changed to purple and gold: and the iiiotto, 'tNiithing is impossible to industry, was adopted. Hur honored president, Mr. lfveland, suggested that a debating society be formed, consisting of the mcnibers of tl c class. So from a tew words by our president, a debating society was formed, irc m whose ranks, stateemen are expected' to issue. .-Xlter a debate on the money question, the class decided that they would rather be Senators than mere onlookers in a debating society, so the debating society was changed into a Senate, each member of the class representing a state. The debated question is put in the form of a bill, and after the debate by the chosen speakers, each Senator is allowed to speak on the subject, ithat is, Xlr. -lohnson and Mr. Douglass speak, and by the time they are through it is time to go hnme,l and then the bill is put to a formal vote. lint life as a Sophomore is too much ol' a snap 5 Lessons fail to furnish enough material for contemplation, and foreign ideas often pierce the thick skulls of that specimen of humanity. Un the Ijth day of February, in the year of our l.ord, 1515, Klr. IJ. Burns Douglass grasped an idea! This was such an unusual event that it was at once ordered recorded in the minutes nl' the class. lt marks an epoch in the annals nf 'Qty llere it is: D. llurns, percievcd that the class was ready for a revolution, Ile imparted this idea to a few chosen confederates, and by the promise ot' otllices and of strict adherence to the ,motto, To the victor belongs the spoils, he enlisted a number of Senators -in his side. This was all kept a secret lor lear of the aw ful punishment which was meted out to traitors. At last the time arrived for the second Boston Tea Partyf On the night of February 35th, the army, whose rank and hle consisted of verdant Freshmen, led by the rebellious Senators, met and organized a plan of battle, Early on the evening of the 29th, rations were dealt out for an extended siege. About 7:00 o'clock the mock trial of the class of '99 fig, Jno. S. johnson, for embezzlement, commenced by Sheriff Porter escorting the fragile prisoner to the prisoner's box. Thi s solemn march was performed with great dignity, for which Deacon Porter is well known. After judge Douglass, the prosecuting attorney, had put two witnesses for the class on the stand, Col. Rolfe and Senator McCulloch came for-ward for the defense. After much discussion, Senator Douglass discovering that it was long after bed time, rose majestically and began to address the President. NVords flowed forth in a manner which would have turned a Senior green with envy: and Senator Douglass, seeing he could not gain his point by words, determined to use force. He remembered his patient army which lay encamped near at hand, which had been waiting for the signal for many hours. But fate was against him l The Senator from New York ClXll'.rlOl1f1SOI'1l was having a debate with himself. He had been offered a position in the cabinet if he would aid in the revolution, and, spurred on by the thoughts of how well he would fill the 'lanitor's chair, and also by his thirst for revenge on account of his embezzlement trial, he was fast deciding to help overthrow the government. But patriotism came to his rescue. lVhile the Senator from Alaskailllr. Douglassl was marchinghis army on to the citidelf' duty overcame ambition in the ample heart of the Senator from New York and he gallantly saved the day. At the head of the rest of the Senate, he charged on the Freshman host, and routed them with great slaughter. Dauglass was heard to remark as he went flying out of the front door: The King of France went out to tight With thirty-thousand men. He tirst marched up the High School stairs. And then marched fri down again. Thus endei the first Sophomore rebellion. Mr. Dauglass has not yet been executed, but it is understood that he will be suspended indennitely, at the first opportunity. Long live johnson! Long live our glorious class!

TREAS URER, i HISTORULN, J x x Y f g lk NJ x 2w,..,5'g H Chat Hbout the High School. N September, 1379, the writer came to lfort XYayne as principal of the lligh School. In the eighteen years since then many changes have been wrought in the body and spirit of the school, but the building that sheltered it then shelters it still. XYhen we have acknowledged and duly expressed our gratitude for shelter we have discharged our chief obligation to the building. Mark Hopkins behind the desk and a hundred tiarlields in the seats could not generate a spirit that would transform the old brick walls and clothe them with grace and beauty, could not lessen the slope of the stairways or widen the halls, or enlarge the floor space. More now than twenty years ago our quiet academic air is disturbed by rattling carts, creaking street cars, screaming whistles, squealing lifes and rolling drums. The calliope of the circus procession, the negro minstrel band, and the patriotic racket of political parades, unite, or at any rate contribute, to train us to concentration of thought in spite of distracting intiuences. XYhatever may be our spiritual condition, our material environment abides to hamper our eltorts and mortify our pride. If we have resisted the law of adaptation to environment, it is only another instance of the triumph of mind over matter. Marble walls and tinted columns do not, it is true, make a school, but light and ventilation, well arranged laboratories, reading rooms and apparatus are essential to a modern school of the tirst rank, and though good work may be done and often has been without these advantages, it is done with a percentage of loss in effi- ciency. Our star of hope shines bright, however. The school authorities are keenly alive to our needs and are studious of ways and means to supply our ripe wants. In the not remote future we may reasonably expect a building that will be a credit to the city and worthy of the school. Eighteen years ago there were four teachers in the High School, including the principal, besides the special teachers of music, drawing, and reading, who each gave a portion of their time to the High School. The total enrollment for the years ending in June, 1877, 1878, 1379 and ISSO, was IOS, IIO, IIQ and II2 respectively. The teaching force at present numbers ten, exclusive of special teachers, and the total enrollment for the current year is 360. .X considerable part of the increase in number is due to the transfer of the ninth grade to the High School in September, 1889. But the increase is a fact and has compelled the expulsion of the little people who used to occupy the first tloor, while serving as practice material for the training school,and the transformation of the attic, into an assembly room with adjoining recitation rooms for one hundred and sixty pupils. Everywhere in nature the forcing of old organs to perform new functions is a painful process andis sometimes seriously detrimental to the bodily health of the organism, The expulsion of the little people from the first floor and the remodeling of the attic, at first gave us room enough, but the natural increase of seven years has again made us too large for our clothes. It is said that in the good old days when public oflice wasza private plum, the politicians crowded so many of their favorites into the treasury department that the workers had not elbow room. A platform was accordingly built about ten feet from the floor whereon the idlers sat while the necessary employes did their work. Unless relieved in some other way we shall have to come to some similar arrangement. Excluding the increase due to the transfer above mentioned, and taking as a base the total enrollment for the year ending June, ISSO, the increase at the High School has just about kept pace with the growth of the city in population. The writer recalls that in the spring of ISSO he presented to the then Board of Trustees an invincible argument to show why this transfer ought to be made. After allowing the argument to ripen for nine years, a period almost as long as the siege of Troy, their successors succumbed either to the cogency of that argument or to the pressure of a growing population upon the capacity of the ward buildings, and the change was made. Time is a powerful ally but a sorely trying one to those that cannot wait. This change made possible the lifting of the lligh School to a higher plane than it ever could have reached under the old arrangement. The course of study was lengthened by a year, and was strengthened and enriched in places where it had been weak and poor. It is a notable fact that all men like to pose as successful prophets. Accordingly the writer is gratified that the prophecy that was spoken by him was fulfilled, in that the percentage of boys in the total enrollment of the High School has steadily increased since the above mentined transfer and is now eleven per cent greater than it then was. This increase in the percentage of boys and the growing tenacity with which pupils stick to the school, and repair a failure of one year by repeating the work the next are very gratifying facts. In the Senior class at the opening ot school in September, 1879, there were two boys. Une of them evaporated during the year and the remaining lad was 5 5-9 per cent. of his class on the evening of graduation. The next year two boys were 13.3 per cent. of their class, and the next, six boys were 3713 per cent. of the total. In 1887 the percentage of boys jumped to 45, a figure seldom reached in the graduating class of any High School. It fell, however, to zero in 1890, when we gradu- ated a class of twenty-nine handsome girls, who were with difficulty restrained from adopting as their class motto the very appropriate sentiment, The time hath need of men. Since 1890 the boys have insisted on a fair representation in the graduating classes and twice have climbed to 3313 per cent., while this year they are again near high water mark at 40 per cent. As throwing light on the proportional enrollment of boys in the graduating classes of our High Schools, the following figures taken from the report of the United States Commissioner of Education may be of interest. The last published report is for the year 1895. For that year the percentage of boys in the graduating class in Anderson was 52, rin IHQ4 it was 2Q,il in Bloomington 28, in Cambridge City 40, in Elkhart IZAIQ, in Indianapolis 29, in Lafayette 27, in New Castle S, in Richmond 44, in Wabash 40, in Crawfordsville 9, in lVIarion 20, in Terre Haute 29, in llyde Park, Chicago, Zffji in Springfield 432. lin 1894 233, in Council Bluffs 43, tin 1894 363, in Des Moines 30, in Dubuque 33, in Dayton 3555, in Grand Rapids 34, in Kansas City 27, in St. Paul 39. The percentage varies considerably from year to year, as might naturally be expected and is greater in rural towns where boys find fewer opportunities for what seems to them profitable employment. But almost uniformly the girls are in a large majority. This fact and the eager rush of young women to the colleges and universities, together with the remarkable women's club movement of recent years, indicate something like an intellectual renaissance among women. Young men must bestir themselves, or like the stupid but faithful attendant of Ganymedes, when that youth was caught aloft by jove's eagle, they will be left to gaze in beloved astonishment while women in shining robes disappear above the summit of Parnassus. Some churlish men may growl There's comfort yet. XVomen cannot vote. For that crowning privilege she must coax yet a little longer. The writer does not share in this feeling. The situation of intellectual and cultivated women without the ballot is too much like that of unhappy Cassandra. Everybody knows how that unfortunate young woman loved Apollo and recanted., and how the jealous deity left her for punishment his gift of prophecy, since he could not recall it, but took from men the power of belief in her prophetic insight. lllhat could be more exquisitely cruel l Henceforth, though she might clearly discern the approach of tl1e awful forms of fate, she was powerless to avert from those she loved the impending stroke. But this is a digression. Perhaps the most striking changes in the High School are traceable to the inrushing of what we may call the modern spirit. Up to within the last four or five years we have been a very quiet and conservative school. To-day we challenge the world to produce a school with a greater variety of organizations or more kinds of class yell than ours. XVe have an Athletic Association with all that is implied, we have musical societies galore. Some new colors will have soon to be invented, for we have about exhausted the possible combinations of the old ones. VVe have small clubs and large ones, clubs for social purposes and clubs with intellectual ambitions, and we have a vigorous and flourishing debating society, and last but not least we have a Greek Letter Fraternity. Take us for all in all we think we are alive and we have no doubt the public thinks so too-sometimes CHEs'rER T. LANE. THE GUTERMUTH! OLOAK AND FUR HOUSE.

Mcliinley Connelly's great 25C regular suppers, and sat in my room in shirt sleeves and slippers, lazily puffing an F. G. cigar. It was along about that time of the evening when one feels pretty comfort- able towards most of his neighbors, and as if he and the other fellow he is with, are about two of the cleverest peo- ple of his acquaintance. I had been up late the night previous and was somewhat drowsy, and as I sat there I was startled by a voice at the door saying, Open, else I forget. Fearing that he would forget to come in, I hastily opened the door and there, bowing and smiling, was an enormous Suntish. He had on a red necktie, parted his hair in the middle, and had a sprinkling can in each ear. Ile was smoking Sweet Caporal Cigarettes, three at a time, and politely beckoned me to follow. As we came out into the hall, I took another and closer look at him, and saw that his attire was complete with a life pre- server, blowsers, and rubber boots, and suspended around his neck was a marble-top washstand. lle led me to a window, and outside he had hung on the blinds a large hole. Still silent, he got in and sat down and motioned me to follow, which I did. Then we began to sink, slowly at hrst, and then faster and faster, until we had to hold on to the sides of the hole to keep from falling out. Shortly we bumped into a shadow and both fell out. It was very dark, and every way I started I ran into something. XVhy don't you strike a light ? I angrily demanded. Then, for the first time, he spoke. XYhat for ? So I can see, I replied. O, you are nearsightedf' he said, you must walk on your hands and then you can see where you are going. That seemed a sensible suggestion and I acted on it and got on much better. I saw a lot of other people, and all were walking on their hands, and I asked the Fish if all were nearsighted. O, no, some are nearsighted and some have chilblainsf' lfVell, why do you wear that life preserver and those boots ? I then asked. You can't tell when it is going to rain in here, was his answer. XVell, what's the matter with an umbrella then ? l'Vhy the land is so poor that you couldn't raise an umbrella on it. His answers were extraordinary but always all right, and I thought l would ask him no more questions, so we started on and soon came into a large forest. I was astonished at the height of the trees and remarked it. Yes, observed Mr. Ifish, those trees are tall. It takes two persons to see to the top of them. One com- mences where the other stops. Now I'll look up to the first limb and you look from there on and then you can see the top. I did as directed and found it a very good way to look at things at a great distance. just in front of us was a small lake, and with a just tell them that you saw me, Mr. Sunfish stepped in. I started to follow him, but he quickly pulled the lake in after him and stood there and gave me the laugh. This disgusted me and I started to go backg but right in my path and coming toward me at a frightful pace was a monstrous germ, with chest lifted, and well poised on the balls of its feet. It had curly teeth, its eyes hung out like loose overcoat buttons, and its rent was due. Fearing germieide, I climbed the nearest sunbeam and squatted there to await developments. The germ leaned up against the sunbeam, and pulling out a few bars of Only One Girl in This XYorld for BIe, slowly devoured it. I feared starvation. and began to search my thoughts for a bite to eat. I found one bean, and in my nervous haste dropped it. It immediately took root and grew, and I had just time to gather a half bushel of beans as the vine shot by me. I loaded my gun with them and shot the germ full of them' Of course they did not hurt him much, but pretty soon it rained and the beans began to swell. I got down. Hello, said a familiar voice, and I turned and saw my old friend Mr. Ifish sitting on the edge of a smile with his feet hanging down. X'Vhere have you been F I said. Been to the Staff meeting.

PON comparing modern athletics with the athletic contests of the ancient Greeks and Romans, we see that the two are not so different as one would suppose, considering the time that has elapsed since the ancient Greeks contended for the laurel crown in the Olympic Games, and the fierce and warlike Romans proved their strength and skill in the circus maximus before the admiring gaze of the pleasure loving populace. At that time the sturdy Greek and Roman athletes worked as hard, and were as eager to obtain the coveted sprig of laurel, as the average American youth of the pre- Sent day is to win the golden badge which shows his physical superiority over his companions. Thus we see that athletic contests are not of modern origin, but have for many hundred years been an important factor in the lives of most young men who are sensible enough to be interested in their physical as well as mental development. For it has been plainly demonstrated that neither one can exist without the other: though if one of these qualities had to be dispensed with, it is very evident that mental ability would have to be the one. So take heed, you who are so unlucky as to read this, and if it be not too late, do not neglect your physical well being. Athletics in the Fort XVayne High School have been very successful, both financially and from an athletic point of view. VVe now hold the High School State record for hammer throw and quarter mile walk, and our other records are well up to the average. XVe have now under consideration a proposition to become a member of the State League of Amateur .Xthletic Associa- tions, which the High Schools of the state are endeavoring to form. State meets are to be held every year, in which the best athletes of the different schools that are members of the league will contest. Prizes will be given each year to the winners of the events, which will mark the possessor as the High School champion of the state in the event or events which he wins. This league would certainly be a good thing, as it would be the greatest possible inducement for hard training, and consc- quently the lowering of records in all the High Schools. The F. XY. H. A. A. A. was formed in ISQ4, and has had three very successful meets. All the contests on Field Day have been held at the half mile track in Centlivre's Park, which the Centlivre Bros. have so kindly given us the privilege of using. XYe intend to make the lfield Day of '97 the most successful one yet held, and to this end we ask for the co-opera tion of all who are interested in athletics. If you are not interested, become interested. Remembeiyfathers and mothers, that you were boys and girls yourselves onceg so give us the encouragement of your attendance at the High School lfield Day, and we will assure you an enjoyable afternoon. Thanks are due to the merchants of Fort Wayne, who have so kindly donated our prizes, and to l'rof. Loveless of the Y. M. C. A., who has so willingly assisted us in our endeavors to make the annual Field Day a success in every way. J' 46 Records of the fort Elayne Bigb School Htbletic Hseociation. EVENT. 50 yard dash.. .

LLAILF 'HL' Lei iigh guslrter ' t 'Y llf -Ac iifiif foot Ball. HE subject of lfoot Ball in High School is one in the discussion of which it is not likely that any two High Schools would agree. The reason for this is that the attendance in the different High Schools of the countryivaries so greatly, and the esteem in which the game is held by the inhabitants of the various towns is so widely different. Some schools have all the facilities for a successful foot ball season: principal among which are good material for a team, or rather two teams, and an interested and appreciative public. One who has never tried can not imagine the trials and troubles connected with forming, training and maintaining a foot ball team throughout a season in a place where there is little or no choice of material. The attendance at the Fort VVayne High School has never been up to the standard set by High Schools in cities of equal size. Therefore the teams which the High School of Fort Xvayne has produced have not been what could be called winning teams. I might mention as an exception to this statement, the team of '95. It alone gave evidence of its ability to rise above mediocrity. The first team which is worthy of record, was formed in IS93, with Clifford XVallace as captain. Only one game was played, that with Kendallville, which resulted in a victory for Fort XYayne. Score, IS to O. In 1894 a team was organized, with Alfred Cressler as manager and Fred Shoatf as captain. Upon the resignation of the latter, Donald McDonald was elected to till his place. Onlytwo games were played, both with Kendallville, Fort Wayne winning easily. In 1895 there emanated from the Fort Wayne High School a team which was an honor to the institution, and on whose exploits those interested in foot ball, and particularly High School foot ball, look back with pride. During the fall of ,QS the team met stronger opposition on the gridiron than any previous team had had to contend with. Five hard battles were fought, resulting in two victories, two drawn games andone defeat. The Thanksgiving game, played here with Kendallville, was as fine an exhibition of foot ball as was ever seen in Fort NVayne. It was bang and smash from beginning to end, and aroused the most intense enthusiasm among the large and appreciative audience. The battle raged for an hour and a half on a field which was covered with six inches of Lakeside mud. During the First half Fort Wayne had the best of it and the ball was continually in Kendallvilles territory, and three times Fort KVayne came within half a yard of scoring, but their hopes were dashed to the earth by the sturdy players from Kendallville. In the second half Kendallville forced the play, but again the players from Kendallville High School were destined to fail in their eliorts to down the wearers of the white and blue. As the game drew to a close Kendallville gradually forced Fort XVayne back until they were within a yard of their coveted goal. The excitement was intensef Three times the heavy Kendallville fullsback rammed our line, and three times we held like a stone wall. On the fourth down the liendallville halt-back was sent around the end as a last chance. But, alas, it was a mis- take. He was tackled hard and low behind the line, the ball went to Fort XVayne and the game was ended. This closed the most successful season in the history of foot ball in Fort VVayne High School. In '96 a team was organized with H. XV. Lang as captain and L. F. Hartman as manager, but material was sadly lacking and players from the city team had to be called upon. Only one game was played. This was played with liuntington, at that place. Fort XYayne wiped out the disgrace of the year before by defeating Huntington. Score, 6 to 4. Our attempts to secure a game with Kendallville were unsuccessful, and, although on one occasion two crack players were hired by Kendallville to play against us in a game at Fort XVayne, they were unable to come, assumedly because they could not get a team together. The support of the people of Fort XVayne has been very discouraging in the past with regard to athletics in general and foot ball in particularg but they are at length awakening to a new interest in High School athletics, and we sincerely hope that the foot ball teams of the future will have better success than has been allotted to those in the past. if , , 5,1 -, ya? 1 255' . 2 M. .ny-5 , 4.5371 e v ,1 , , ,hs A.. ffm :X 15, gk. -,, 1. junior Basket Ball Ceam.

A During the past four years, numerous musical clubs and organizations have been formed in the High School, but for some reason these organizations have soon disappeared. However the school has, in the '97 Quartet, one club which has survived them all. The Quartet was organized in the summer of '95, and has participated in many entertainments since then. During the fall of 1896, the 'UQ7 Male Quartetfas the ofncial quartet ofthe McKinley Cadets, become famous through- out the northern part of Indiana and Ohio. The song, XVorking for McKinley, an original composition ofthe quartets, made a phenomenal hit, and the services of the quartet was always in demand. Devotees of Cerpsichore. OFFICERS. Gu' R.

At a mass meeting of the High School students on September 17, this organization was formed with a membership of fifty. Regular weekly meetings were held, and debates, speeches on the issues of the day by students and others,and music were features that made it attractive, After several changes, the name High School McKinley Cadets, was chosen. It was one of the most conspicuous marching clubs in Fort XYayne, and acted as escort to all noted republican speakers who visited this city. The uniform was white duck trousers, blue coats, and gold standard hats. There is no doubt but that McKinley is greatly indebted to the club for his present seat in the presidential ehair. freshman Literary Club. OFFICERS. FLCIRLNUQ QRILZRE' I., 4 . , l'i-esidenz.

The lyceuni has proved to be a school for the development of oratory, philosophy, and in fact nearly all ofthe depart- ments of knoxvle-dge aeeessible to.its members. At the recent meetings ofthe society, some stirring debates have been held. The subjects ofa few of them may be suggestive of the kind of xvork accomplished. as for example: Rr.m!'r'uI'.'

A very unique idea presented itself to these brilliant workers, and they proceeded to carry it out. .X mock trial was held, and was certainly deserving of credit, for its conductors made it il great success. A number of the young ladies, and no doubt gentlemen as well, were given an opportunity that they never had had previously. Both sides were strongly con- tested, and the details ofthe court room were carried out to perfection, The president is an able and willing worker, and it is largely due to his persistent efforts that the lyceum has gained its aseendency. junior Musical.

Hut now comes the sad part of my tale, over which '96 will never cease to shed tears of mortifrcation and regret. The programs for the evenings exercises were beautifully gotten up with a '96 monogram in gold on the cover. A dainty affair, indeed. But they presented a different appearance that night as the 'lunior ushershanded them to the audience. Over each delicate '96 monogram was a glaring red '9f- on top as usual. The people smiled and congratulated the '97 boys on the success of their little game, but did not know why it had been done, The statue-lil-ze Seniors on the stage vvere blissfully ignorant of the meaning of the smiles upon the faces of the audience. No doubt thev thought that the crowd was smiling because '96 was graduating. Conceited creatures Y Alter the exercises they found it all out, and we refrain from picturing the scene of rage and grief that followed. All night long, during the dance, white ribbons bearing the stamp of that same red '9j, which had done the deed, Huttered from the coats of the juniors. The '96's bit their lips and bore their mortitication in silence, for they knew that they dared not cope with the juniors, who so far surpassed them. Thus, that day which, as the '96's thought, was to be their day of rejoicing and triumph, passed away leaving them crestfallen and ashamed, the joke and sport of '97, Ciaiechzfsm for .59-resfzmelz.

They were going, bag and baggage, to the outskirts of civilization: that is, tive hundred miles from the home of their childhood. Mr. Denman, his wife and youngest daughter, Miss Katherine, were in at the next door neighbors where they had been invited for six o'clock dinner. Iilenor, for good reasons, had lingered behind in the house, which was bare of everything but the piano and the many boxes and barrels standing about ready for the expressnian. The colored man, Caleb, had left the lantern sitting on one of the boxes, and this was the only illumination the usually brilliantly lighted home could boast of. Really, said Elenor, from her perch on the piano key-board, I feel as tho' we were actually stepping off the earth- XYe'll just die, so far away from our Mecca. I wonder, said her companion, a tall, manly fellow, who stood looking down upon her in a serious manner, whether it's the place or the people you hate so to leave, The place, to be sure, replied Elenor, flashing a teasing glance at him: but you know, after a pause and a swift glance from under her lashes, the people make the place. Here his hopes took an upward leap, but they came down again with a sickening thud, as she exclaimed, If I could only take some of the girls with me l Is there no one else you would like to take with you P earnestly inquired this irrepressible youth, so Elenor thought. Let me see, responded this provoking piece of femininity, with a thoughtful scowl, meant to be introspective. Yes, with a Hash of mischief from the dark eyes, Katherine and I are just broken-hearted that papa is going to leave the span of blacks behind, another woe to contend with3 with a pathetic glance at her companion. If you felt as I do over your departure, you could not even think of these trifling things, he said, with a touch of dignity and resentment.
