Its purpose is to put into print and to picture the events of the preceding year. If it accomplishes this, the money and the time spent in its compilation have not been spent in vain. The staff has worked and worked hard to accomplish this aim, with the end in view that the finished book furnish an interesting and accurate record of the epoch making year of Io2o-21. It has not been an easy task for the past vear broke all previous records and was iust one succession of big events. Per- haps we have failed in some respects, but it is our sincere hope that the book as a whole will be treasured by its owners as 1 lasting memorial to the greatest year Fort Waylie High School has ever known -1021. DEDICATION An education is a wonderful thing. It is a sad truth that many of us never really comprehend its true value. In fact some of us might have discontinued our edu- cations if it had not been for a cer- tain pair of persons. That pair of persons, for the most part, never had the chance of obtaining an ad- vanced educationg however, they realized its wonderful worth and encouraged us and sometimes in- sisted that we continue our work, We thank them now for these things. That pair of persons are the greatest friends that we will ever have. They ,have sacriiced much for us and have joyfully watched us grow and learn. For these reasons, this, the Nineteen Twenty-tone Caldron Annual, is gratefully dedicated to our parents. Page Three g 1 Qfmgrq HE 31 -. ogglfx- .-F Q O D IGIGF ALDRON ANNUAL 19 ik Qs-off Q LOUIS C.

VV. H. S. We looked for the elevator and became Freshmeng we began to think we knw somthing and became Sophomoresg we knew we knew something and became Juniors, and finally we got the faculty to help us run the school and became Seniors. If we were in the eighth heaven of delight when we graduated from the grade schools, we were in at least the millionth when we passed out of our dear old high school. It was wonderful! We, the high and mighty Seniors, had completed our four years of advanced study and were ready to face the world. The rest of this editorial is entirely presumption, but it is very possible that many of us will fall from the height of heights to the depth of depths when we become college Freshmen. We will learn how to part our hair in the college style and bcome Sophc-norsg we will adopt college mannerisms and become Juniors and finally we will learn about all there is to know and become Seniors. Aboout this time our feelings will be similar to those which we had when we received our high school diplomas. They will only be more exaggerated. This period of ourilife will be the one in which we receive the greatest shock for our next step will be to embark on the stormy sea of life. Here again we will start as lowly Freshmen and will advance according to our respective abilities. As a closing word: May every member of the IQZI graduating class of the Fort Wayne High School receive a generous measure of health and good fortune and may every solitary person speedily become a Senior in the great game of life. . 11- To Poets CArletta Schmuck, y22j When one is weary and longing, And his sad heart seeks for rest, He loves to muse o'er the memories Of the poets who knew Life best. Who loved with the hearts of lovers, And lightened the world when they smiled, VVho wrote with the minds of masters And prayed with the soul of a child. Oh, would we all were poets, Inspired by so deep a truth, That we might make our mortal lives An eternal poem of youth. And might so learn to live and love, From the pattern of our dream, That we to God might dedicate Our lives-as a lovely theme!

Vtfhat will I do?', wailed Laura jordon to a group of her most intimate friends. Leave the food off the program ll, practically suggested one. Turn it into a theater party and go to Bakerls afterwards. That's the next best thing and no one will object, if you will explain, volunteered an- other. f'But I had such a nice, informal time planned. I hate to give it up, although I suppose I must, conceded Laura. 'kDon't worry! I may be able to help you. See you after Math, cheerfully called Martha Gregory, as she dashed down the hall to her next class. All right, assented Laura, for al- though Martha was the only girl in the group not attending the party, she al- ways had some surprisingly simple, workable plan for every emergency. Martha had received an invitation, as she always did from her frieurls, but since this was a Hmixedn party, she de- clined, as usual, on the assumed pre- tence of reading a book review. Martha Gregory was a healthy, lively girl, not beautiful, but attractive because of her character. She was a good dancer, above the average pianist, a fair conservationalist on her own topics, but did not enjoy what is regarded in High School circles as Hpopularityf' This can be accounted for by the fact she was really interested in only a few things, and as she had a particularly expressive face, it usually expressed boredom whenever any boy tried to become bet- ter acquainted ancl started the conver- sation on any of the usual topics. She discovered she was losing touch with her fellow students, especially the boys, but did not discover the cause. Being somewhat self-centered and therefore i'sensitive,'l she at first withdrew from some of those jolly, wholesome gather- ings and soon was surprised to find she was being left out. She was indignant that the boys were not more interested, but she eventually decided that she would prefer bearing the reputation of a man-hater, than that of a wall- Howerf' She stopped attending all such parties, but nevertheless, she yearned with all her heart to go to each one of the school functions, escorted as her friends were, particularly to the dances, and now, it was nearly time for the Commencement Dance, her commence- ment dance, and she didn't have a bid. K'W'ell, tell me all about the partyf' demanded Martha as soon as she saw her friend again. How many are com- ing? Have you any menu planned? Wfill very much have to be ordered? XVhat time do you want to serve? Tell me everything. There are sixteen coming tincluding that perfectly stunning 'new' fellow in schoolj. Mother had planned a rather nice two-course luncheon, and she's or- dered everything but the milk. I had intended to serve at eleven, but what can I do now? I can't even make salad, and Laura really was distressed. K'Mother has been teaching me how to cook, and I just love to make fancy salads and deserts. I can come over about seven and we'll get everything ready that we can, then, And if you don't serve too late. maybe mother will let me stay and fix the Ulast minutev things. It will be such fun, if nothing happens. Remember, not a word to any- one, that I am going to be there, to- morrow, cautioned Martha. Can you make 'floating island? eag- erly questioned Laura, and the planning began. as at at The next evening Martha appeared at the appointed time, in a gingham dress Page Tl: irf0Cu 'ff'ALg'15Ri6fljQ?ggiil1NiUAi, 1 and a big, blue, cover-all apron. The girls worked hurriedly, but Martha soon discovered that her friend was right. Laura couldn't even make salad. It's seven forty-tive already. Run up stairs and change right away. They will be coming soon, suggested Martha, hoping she would soon have the kitchen to herself. But we've done so little. Do you think you can finish now?'l asked Laura, realizing her ignorance. Run along and Lloilc worry about me, said Martha, and Laura was not loathe to take her advice. The door bell rang and rang again and again, and soon it was laughter that rang through the house instead. Martha may have longed to be in the midst of the excitement, but she realized it was better to be a success in the kitchen than a failure in the drawing- room. So she steadily went about her work, doing it very efficiently, too, con- sidering the amount of practice she had had. The evening was nearly over, and everything was going splendidly in the kitchen. lNlartha was slicing the last orange when she heard a terrible crash, followed by a roar of laughter. She glanced at the door, wondering what the commotion was, when she sliced- her linger. She wondered where she could get a bandage and decided to search the cabinet drawers. just as she found a suitable cloth, she heard a gurgling noise behind her and she turned around just in time to see the chocolate boil over. She dashed over to the stove, with the cloth held high in her in- jured hand, and turned the gas so low that it went out. She attempted fran- tically to light it again, and when she did get it lit, she had turned it so high that the chocolate boiled over again, down the front of her apron this time, She was a beautiful spectacle, a drip- ping apron and a dripping finger. Someone came to the kitchen, and think- Puyff' flUIII'ff'l Il ing it was Laura, she said, Can you light the gas without getting chocolate over you?l' Surely declared a masculine voice, and Martha found a tall, good-looking young man helping her. He lit the gas as if he had had previous experience and then said, f'Can't I bandage up your finger for you? It looks as if it were badly cut? I was thirsty and Art told me there was no one out here, so I came prepared to help myself, he explained during the Utirst aid, process. 'Tm Phillip Leeds, and since I just moved here last week, Art brought me along to the party to get acquainted. I'm glad he brought you, replied Martha. You'll find the glasses on the second shelf of the cupboard. Pardon me, but it's getting so late that I must hurry on and tix the plates. Oh! Dear, I forgot the cream, and she disap- peared into the pantry, returning with a bowl of cream and an egg whip. 'Uwre you going to whip it? Let me do that to help you along, he suggested. And when he saw she was hesitating, he added: Really, I do know how. Tive helped my sister ever so many timesf' And so it was arranged. Phillip sat on a stool in one corner, whipping cream and carrying on a steady stream of re- marks while Martha Elled the plates. A friendship formed under such informal circumstances was bound to grow rapid- ly, and by the time the cream was done, he knew lXf'lartha better than he did any other girl in town. 4 Can't I lick the whip? begged Phillip. i'l've worked so hard getting it dirty, you ought not to complain when I want to clean itf' If ' . All right, go on V' and Phil began awkwardly to work. You've got some on your chinfl laughed Martha. Now, I can lick one better than that. Try it.'l And Art entered on the scene in search of the guest just in time Continued on page 198 'Q'EAf1S1f6fg 'Egiifv if justice CBy Dorothy Rose Vtfolf, '2ij As justice f arratiay walked along the lwroad and cheerless corridor of the Or- phanage, with a sudden Hash of under- standing, she realized all that the ho. e had meant to her, and clung even more closely to Mrs. Dows, the only mother she had ever known. Children of all ages peered from the numerous doors. eager to catch a last glimpse of the young girl who had figured so largely in their lives, and who now was leaving them forever. justice stopped at the door just long enough to kiss lllother Dows fondly, then quickly ran down the well-known path to the gate. She looked back. The orphanage, bleak and cheerless, stood gaunt and grey in the April sunshine. Mother Nature, as if trying to overcome the ugliness of human efforts, had dressed the trees with tender leaves and buds, and had made the grass soft and green. The sun twinkled against the windows where the bright-eyed children were waving good-bye. Outside the gate the future beckoned. Everything seemed to be full of life and promise. As justice climbed into the surrey, Tom, who had worked at the orphanage for many years, said, XNell, well, -lusty, this surely is a great day in your life. justice smiled with the whimsical smile that made everyone love her, and with sparkling eyes said, 'KOh, Tom, it's just too good to be true!

The oliice -boy inquiringly asked, Who is it, sir, and is there any mes- sage? 'KI-a-well, l can't tell you, young man, but I assure you it is most im- portant, he replied. f'Yes, sir, but orders, sir. 4'Oh, I see,', and ,lim handed the per- sistent boy a card. f'Have a seat, sir. just a moment, sir. Dr. Bradshaw waited impatiently for several moments, and then rose to greet the well poised and charming young woman who entered from the inner of- tice. Good morning, Doctor. The self-reliant and intelligent young woman who greeted the famous surgeon so confidently was the fulnll- ment of the promise justice had given. when as a timid fearful child of sixteen. she had left the orphanage several years before to make her career.

Wie will call for mother at home. Realizing that the requests of such an important client were never disregarded, justice readily actjuiesced, and soon was spinning over the smooth pavement in the low roadster towards the Bradshaw residence. They had reached the fashionable resi- dential section of the city, when sud- denly the car swerved, and jim striving strenuously to control the shattered wheel shouted hoarsely. Hold tight. don't jump! In a moment it was all over. The car had crashed against the stone en- trance of the driveway leading to the Bradshaw home, and both occupants of the car had been hurled to the pavement. l'r1yfr' I-'Iffccn euze .-e -- A --'A ., af ANNUAL 1 ' ' , . liLALDROl:I33 -g,.,x Y - B- -1-n,-.F -I -My A Q! Jim, dazed, but uninjured, dragged him- self to the place where Justice was lying motionless. Aroused by the commotion, the serv- ants, followed closely by Mrs. Brad- shaw, came to the scene of the accident. ak -K PF A low murmur of voices reached Jus- tice's ears. Her hot aching body seemed to have found a cool haven of rest, but a queer sensation of dizziness made it impossible for her to raise her head. An unfamiliar scene greeted her heavy eyes. She had helped to plan such rooms as this, but had never expected to occupy one. The sunlight sifted through webs of lace to a brightly polished floor where soft luxurious rugs lay. The ivory tinted walls framed a daintily ap- pointed room, where vague figures moved about. Presently one stopped at her side, and she recognized Mrs. Brad- shaw. In a flash she remembered all that had happened. It was very comfortable lying quietly, but when she tried to move, a low groan escaped her lips. Mrs. Bradshaw spoke to her reassur- ingly, Donlt try to move, my dear. You are not seriously injured, but must be quiet. justice stirred uneasily, then asked: And, Dr. Bradshaw-was he injured? 'fNot at all, said Jim, approaching the bed. K'VVorse luck that you should have suffered all the injuries. Did you ever know of anything so deuced awk- ward-can you ever forgive me? Real- ly I can never tell you- Oh, please, Doctor. It wasn't your fault-but I can't possibly stay here. But here jinfs mother interrupted, 'just let me take care of that.

Great excitement reigned as the day for the dedication of the children's wing of the hospital ap- proached, for it also had been arranged that the occasion would mark the end of justice's convalescence. It was with mixed emotions that she approached the hospital with the Brad- shaws, for she knew that before many days she would return to her gloomy boarding house, and would leave the family life she had always craved and had never before known. Inside the children's ward, the small white beds stood in orderly rows. At every turn the skill and thought of the architect was evident. Justice thrilled with the realization that she, also had been a factor in setting the stage for the brilliant young surgeon, who was to administer here to the poor and needy children of the city. Her pulse quick- ened as she thought of Jim. She was so absorbed in her thoughts of him, that it seemed only natural to turn and hnd him at her side. Jim looked at her intently, and Jus- tice blushing, as if afraid that he divined her thoughts, stammered. 'KI should think, Dr. jim, that it would make one very happy to be as useful as you. f'I'm afraid I'm not as useful as you think, and as for happiness-you alone can bring me that, Justice,-will you? And looking fondly into her glowing young eyes, Jim read her answer, and was content.

During her first year Mil- dred had led her class in spite of her mischief, but after that, to her high school had become a source of parties, of dances, of picnics and occasionally, of study. Whereas the teachers had hoped that this lively young creature might continue her early scholarship, here she was in her last year just pass- ing respectably, But if Milly's grades had suffered, her popularity and leadership had risen un- til now there was no good time in which she did not share-no outside activity in which she did not participate. To the Thornton High, but to the loving older students Mildred was a lovely and a necessary part of the social life of people, who watched her career with a quickening sense of fear, she was be- coming the embodiment of an undesira- ble modern girl. She was, it seemed, heartless, and extravagant, careless and sometimes, even rude, they all com- plained. Mildred may have been foolish, but she was no fool. She realized the criti- cism that her elders were showering upon her and as is characteristic of youth, she resented it. She wanted free- dom and the right to live her own way. To her, the future was a shining realiza- tion of present dreamsg but even if it should turn out to be the miserable shal- low mistake that others never failed to inform her it would be, she Wanted the privilege of dominating it or bearing it herself, as the case might be. II Mildred Hampden's Senior year was an especially busy and eventful one. She was put on every occurrence of every sort, on some important committee. And Milly never refused, for she liked to work, when she know that others would enjoy themselves because of it, And so the months flew by after the opening of school in September. Christmas came with its galaxy of col- ors and gayetyg january brought its mid-semester banquets. Then February followed, bringing skating parties and good times in abundance. Easter sped by and then came May-the month when youth is supreme. For years the beautiful Hampden home had been the scene of many suc- cessful affairs, but it was to the sur- prise of everyone that Milly gave her big party there in honor of her mother and her friends' mothers that year. Everyone wondered and no one under- stood why. Of course, Milly was fond of her mother, just as all the rest of the girls were, but some surmised that they were more nearly right when they suspected that Milly did it merely to be original. . But people soon forgot their surprise at the party in its overwhelming suc- cessg and the days raced on, fuller than ever with the thousand details which precede Commencement. Ill It was an unusually busy day after the Prom. Mildred had rushed from home without breakfast, so as not to be late to a special committee meeting. But in the classes which followed in quick succession, Milly kept wondering how her mother was, for she had left her at home, ill in bed. Then lunch time came -and more classes. In literature, that afternoon, Mildred was more busy dreaming of home and programs than lessons when the young professor called Out: Miss Hampden, you are wanted at the office. Mildred's mind whirled, as she rose to leave the room. lYhat have I done ? she accused herself again and again. Reluctantly she entered the olhee 1,1lflC N4'l'l'Hf!lI'lI 'C,..J ' - Qi,-'v ' - .-+.,'-1.-,TV 0 Y Uv, eue- , A44 Hgjf Queue V Q- D ALDROHEEESANHU ia door, half expecting to meet the serious. reproachfuliperhaps angry eyes of the dean.

TV Mildred never returned to Thornton lligh after the fatal accident which had bereaved her of the father whom she if Lf- strong, had fallen under the shock and strain of it all. Wlhat should have been her graduation day found Milly busy trying to cheer the little family. But Milly was young and full of am- bition. She assumed the duties of car- ing for her mother and the six-year-old Tom quite so naturally as she had led the social activities of the younger set. And she succeeded. Milly had gotten a lot of sunshine out of life and she now displayed it on every occasion. People have ceased to criticize the ultra-modern lXflildred. They have come to realize that there was a head and a heart underneath the frivolity and care- lessness. And indeed some of the mfthers in Thornton are not discourag- ing, but rather encouraging their college had scarcely known, but loved, neverthe- sons to rave over Hthe prettiest, gavest less, for her mother. who was never too girl in Thornton Tlighf, Our Principal CBy Stewart I-lulsey Now over all the class, dread silence spread, As through the op'ning door appeared a head, XVell known and honored greatly by them all, The care-worn visage of the principal.

Mine 'rithmetic am gettin, rather weak lately and 1 ain't steady on my numbers. VVell, them figgers repre- sent our basketball team, ain't they won- derful? Gosh all hemlock, don't you feel proud of them? just think-1779 pounds of real, live, wide-awake stuff, and all belongin' to us. Listen! Did you ever eat a pound of hot dogs, a piece of huckleberry pie and some other things you orter not before you went to bed? And did you ever wake up in the middel of the nite and see your pet monkey playing poker with your shimmy? You know how you feel? Well, that ain't nothing compared with the way the other team feels when these heer fellows of our's gets ther hands and feet goin'. Do you remem- ber the time when they scared the in- sides clean out of the other fellows? It made me feel like puffed rice to see them other fellows do the fade-away stunt. Believe me, if I ever saw 1779 pounds of human TNT going to jump on me, lid run so fast that mine own shadder wouldn't have a chance to ketch me. 1'm a sane persen and I wouldnlt be so foolish as to invite suicide. 1'd know that when Monk VVilson grinned, the un- detaker wuz takin' mine measurements. Despite this Monk's a hne fellow. I like to talk about him. Yuo know, ther is so much to talk about. He fust opened his peepers back in 1903. The good Lord placed him on High Point, North Carolina. Mighty good climatic conditions there, good for growing ter- bacco, peanuts and peepul. Monk seems to have takin' to growinl something fine. At present he is six feet one inch with plenty of room left above. Wlell, any- way. Monk, at the tender age of eleven. took his parents to the big town of New York. He managed pretty well thir but he couldn't get enough room for his ex- ercise. You see, from the time he wuz born he wuz used to throwin' thingsg sich as fits, bottles, pillows, etcetera. That explains his wonderful aim now. Robert is a tru cosmopolitan, he haveing lived in all the big citys in U. S.. in- cluding Eort Wayne. He has several pe- culiar habits, his main fault being drink- in'. Ain't it awfully tragic for one so young and innocent-like? He says he ain't much of a hand at it, but he told me he drinks one cup of Malted Milk every day. I ask't him about his future. He ain't got any. He just intends to go into the Rome City lake in June an stay their until his ma hauls him out and brings him back to school. Mr. VVil- son tips the scales at 160. Earl Adams cum to our school back in 1917. You know, the time when we had such an awful lot of rufhans hangin' arround town with no place to go to. He wuz born 17 years ago in our city, he being one of OUR achievements and points of pride. He spent his early days in studious preocupation in the Harmar skool, also of this city. 1 have it from his own lips that he wuz a moddel child, being reprimanded no more than twice a day for his conduk. lXlamas from all parts were brought to look upon this angelic child. His sweet smile, his llaxen locks, and his blue eyes wuz all so suggestive of heaven. 1 ask't him about his ideal, aspiration. perspiration. etcet- era. He says if john D. would adopt him for a sole air he would be happy, Earl not john D. However, a kruel fate has made it necessary for him to work. If nothin' happens pretty soon Earl is goin' to be a chemical engineer, that is, if he and the kemicals mix. You see, kemicals is kemicals and Earl is 1'11yff' ,N IHf'ff'f'll Uv' fu.,--Q-4221: HE2f1g.s e.-iQ'r'3-- - as sq ..

Enquirin' further into his life I found that he wuz tive foot 7 and 1 half and weighs 147 lbs. .-Xin't some peepul got pecular tastes? I ask't him weather he liked live girls or dead girls and he an- swers right oft the reel that he preffers 'em alive. Yes, alive, but not of the ex- plosive and profuse variety. Although they call him Dizzy he cums down to earth once in a while. He doesn't like the kind that uses them there sticks that makes a gal's lips look as though she had eaten something and forgotten to lick her chops. He seys, Therels a reason. .'Xlso, he seys that if he wuz runnin' a movie he would have Theda Hara punchin cows and Doglas Far- banks vampin monkeys. I forget to mention that Mr. Adams is personal guard for the basketball of the Fort W'ayne High School. If I had a guard like him I could sleep piecefully all nite, By the way, did you ever see him play? In action he is jist like a steam roller, only worse. His favorite stunt is to get the ball and after hefs tossed it find that the forward is hooked to it. Some trick! Gosh. if you,ve never seen it you've missed a treat. Bet theres not another basketball team in Indiany or any place else that has a regular soljer. XVell, we have! Frances Morse first rent the air in 1903 at Hartford, Indiany. Little did his papa and mama think that ther little Frances would sometime sail to France in a big ship. He wuz a nicely orderly boy, takin' the colic nicely and doing nearly as well with the measles. Many is the time that he wuz lulled to sleep to the tune of a bagpipe, his Scotch paw still hangin' to the venerable custom. Little Frances wuz brought up on oat- meal cookies and learned to save his pennies providin' he got any. He still has a pair of kilties hung away some place, but he is very bashful and wont show them to anybody. Pflyff' 'l'H'f'nff1 Weil, in 1918 he run away from his deer home and his deer parents and his deer dog to sacrifice his lifes blood on the altar of Humanity. He wuz sent to a training camp wher they learned him to get up every time he heard a tin whistle and to throw up his hands when he saw a gink with a piece of baby rib- bon tied somewhere on his uniform. In due time he sailed to France. Ever since then the hshermen along the coast have been talkin, about how sleek and well fed the fishes look. It seems that when he got to France he wuz so sore at the Kaiser that he just naturally went to peices. He just couldn't contain himself. They placed him in a hospital with 60 fare nurses. At the end of several months he managed to escape. Then some thing or other happened and they shipped him back marked C. U. D. Now he is a proud member of the basket- ball team. VVorks like an eel-quick as lightninl, and always where he wasn't. Honest, it does a fellow good to watch him. He intends to be a doctor if the police don't keep him from it. In this day when our young men are ripe at the age of eighteen it is a pleas- ure to see some one that is still un- touched by life. Edgar VVelch was born in Fort Wfayne at the regular num- ber of years ago. Today he is eighteen. He possesses all the qualities of the Frenchman with an Irish Havor. The result is somethin' awful. His black hare and shaggy eyebrows am Irish, and his dark Hasping, deep, liquid optiks are French. Although Eddies been a pretty good boy he wuz in Texas with all those terrible wild men. Think of -the wild days and wilder nites he spent there punchin' cows and squashing mosqui- toes. It positively gives me the shivers. Askin' about his career he says he is going to be a fellow who counts things. I don't mean one that takes inventory but one that counts. You know, and ac- countant. He likes the open and free and simply goes into fits over Bill Farnum. ' vii QEQY-fl-1.z21-A HE 'if -. QQLQ-if 1-I g -P LALDROQEANNUHE Ach, Himmel, I have discovered a pro-German plot. W'ho,d ever tink that lfValter Possell, our Wfalter had ambi- tions to become presidant. VValter furst saw the light of day in a garret. I don't mean a plain garret, but Garret, Indiany. For several years he wuz tooted or tutored in the Garret skools. As his papa and maw did not think the tooting was loud enough they brought little Walter to Fort Wayne. He took nicely to the Harmar skool. Here he spent many a happy hour. I just love to reminisence. I kin remember him from the time when he first entered till the day when he matriculated. Qne touching episode will always cling to me. It wuz back in the forth grade. Us chil- dren were enactin' one of Life's dramas where the only son leaves his be-reft maw to go to the wars. I wuz supposed to be the be-reft maw, and he my son. I still kin feel the smart of those bitter tears I shed at his wenting. Twas aw- fully tragic. Since that time he was elongated to six feet, the most l'll ever get is two feet. Askin' about his Hbilly fare, he says he niastikates cherries and pork. Vtfhere he keeps the pork is more than I can see. Sh! Now comes the subtle partk. He likes whis-kee and refuses to say where he gets it. VVorse still, he's German, worsest yet, if he had the brains, ability, looks, money, time, pull, and chance he would be President. Kin you see the connektion now with him and that there LJ N..JY pre-German plot I mentioned. Being as he hasn't yet got all the above things he is goin' to be a- I couldnlt quite understand what he meant. He isn't going to be connekted with the army. he isn't goin' to be an artist, he isn't goin' to take the place of a pair of bel- lows, and yet he is going to be a drafts- man. Kin you beat it? I give up. I'd rather talk about his playing. I-Ie's guard. I don't know if youyd just ex- actly call it guardin'. He gets the ball. thats all there is to it. He picks it off any place. He's a guy you don't notice because he fits in so good and keeps things workin' so smoothly that you hardly see him. Do you know, I could jist keep on talkin' about these fellows forever. Can't sleep nites after I've been to a game. I get so excited watching 'em play that maw seys I'm goin' to dye of heart failure. It beats any western thriller in thrills, and furnishes some real enjoyment, And the way these fel- lows works beats everything. Its pos- tively super-human. They don't know ther's sich a thing as rest. And all the time they're workin' Schultz, Hosey, and NVilkins is workin' right along with 'em, sweatin' blood every step. Seys I to myself, If there ever wuz fellows that deserves our support and commenda- tions, these hear am the guys. Every nite when I go to bed I pray to the dere God to forget all about me, but please, oh please, take good care of OUR BA SKETBALL TEAM. Prim' 7vIl'l'IIfI,l'O7ll? INCE our past histories, our records, together with our reputations, our present accomplish- ments and capabilities, and the greater part of the knowledge that we now possess are due to their implicit devotion to our welfare, we, the mem- bers of the 1921 class, dedicate our futures to the members of the faculty, and in particular to our principal, M r. Voorhees, who was a vastly loved instructor during most of our high school life, and who, now that he has become principal, has proved himself most considerate of our shortcomings, most interested in our poor efforts and our enterprises.

For our past is truly one of which we are proud and our accomplishments are such that other classes will do well to emulate them. Never before has the school received such an impetus as that given by the twenty- csne class. Never before has the school made such progress. Never before has there been such harmonious cooperation and friendliness between the class leaders and the authorities. The accomplishments of our class are many, and of such noteworthy importance and so great a scope, that they cannot be adequately treated in the space allotted to them. Only a brief summary can be given. Before we sketch our past and sum- marize our accomplishments it would be of interest to note the most striking dif- ferences between our class and all other classes that have successfully fought the good fight . VVhile our class is different in all respects from others it stands out entirely in these two things: First, it is democratic. It is neither a one, two or three-man class. No oligarchy rules. No petty politics hinders the efficient func- tioning of the class government. Second, the class has push, punch and pep. This does not mean that other classes do not have these. it means rather that other classes have an insufficient amount of it, if the amount the ,215 possess is set as the standard. It has been customary for classes to lie dormant and passive until their Senior year. Our class, wisely and eneroeticallv CllSI'CU'Ell'ilillU' this custom. 5 C . IN b Page Seventy forged well to the front in the Junior year and caused grave concern among the members of the .205 as to who were the leaders of the school. Three hundred and seventy-five little children entered the portals of our stolid, grey building in September, IQI7Q the boys for the most part in short trousers and cotton hose: the girls in gingham dresses and with hair streaming over their shoulders. After a few weeks, like all other lireshmen, they succeeded in re- membering the location of the lunch- room, office, library and other places of interest. ln February the Juniors, as is the custom, organized the class. Irwin Deister was elected president, Jimmie Bit- ner his assistantg while the strings were entrusted to Julia Bash. The social coun- cil consisted of Virginia Thieme, Helen Xllillson and Ilob Koerber. Gold and black were chosen as class colors, and Mr. fDadj Northrup and Miss Sites as fac- ulty advisers. Hecause of the scarcity of coal in the winter of '17 school was closed for sev- eral weeks and in consequence we were unable to hold a class party until late in the season. Like all others the class has held this first one was a decided success. The following September we returned to school feeling much older and much more important. We began to engage more in the activities of the school and to exhibit our class and school spirit on more occasions than before. To guide us thru our Sophomore year we again chose Irv as president. Hob Koerber was elected vice-president and Bronson Ray secretary-treasurer. Velma Crawford, Loren Brentlinger and Yir- ginia Thieme composed the social coun- cil. A second time school was closed sev- eral weeks Cthis time on acount of the tin . ALf1S1i6f9, ,s.15i'fIi' epidemicl A second time class activities were suspended. Consequently instead of holding a party in our second year we gave a benefit show at the Grpheum, from which we made several dollars, dollars used for a good purpose in our Junior year. V In our Junior year we first came into our own. Every activity saw Juniors par- ticipating in it-and excelling in it. In scholarship, interclass athletics and de- bating, we were second to none. The Honor Roll saw the Juniors in the lead. Two of the three debaters were Juniors. The Juniors won the interclass basketball tournament. Everything was Juniors just as everything this year is Seniors. The officers who led us thru such a successful year were: President, Bob Koerber: vice-president, Bronson Ray: secretary-treasurer, Helen Woocliiigg and members of the social council, Jimmie Bitner, Yelma Crawford and Robert Richey. One of the finest parties the class has ever given was held on March 26th. This same year witnessed the Junior Prom. Although our crowning social event was vigorously opposed by an illegitimate organization in the school it was a complete success-and in more ways than one. For it led to the perma- nent overthrow of power enjoyed for sev- eral years by a certain unrepresentative organization VVe are proud of the fact that we, then onlv Juniors, were able to overthrow the odious power that former classes had endeavored in vain to quell. And now-this year. In order to tell of our accomplishments we would have to tell almost all the accomplishments of the school. First of all, we elected officers. Bron- son Ray, after a hotly contested race, was elected president. Robert Koerber was chosen vice-president and John Crane secretary-treasurer. Robert Richey, Vel- ma Crawford and Foster Taft were elect- ed to the' social council. Just as plans were rapidly materializing for a big class party, Principal Voorhees put a quietus on all school parties because of misde- meanor on the part of some of the Sopho- mores at their class party. XYhile we considered it a rank injustice to our class, Cwhich has always conducted all of its parties in a manner beyond all reproachj, like the good Seniors that we are, we kept silent and obeyed without a murmur. A jolly bob-party was held on Eeb. 2nd. It required three large bobs to accommo- date us all. VVe returned to the school building about nine o'clock and after par- taking of some delicious heated refresh- ments, spent the remainder of the evening tripping on the light fastastic toe-and occasionally on our, partner's feet. The party was enjoyed by everyone. The Spotlight, under the management of the twenty-one class, has attained a standard undreamed of by last years staff. The circulation for this year ex- -veeded that of last by approximately 50 percent. The arrangement of the paper this year was more symmetrical. XVhile our paper has not reached perfection, it has advanced admirably toward that goal and it will be the difficult duty of next year's class to maintain the school paper at its present degree of excellence. Even as the Senior play, Green Stock- ings, was the 'crowning gloryf' of the career of the ,2O class, so the play. MiI0.rto1zcs , is the crowning glory of our illustrious career. It was and is a milestone in high school dramatics. Never has any class attempted to stage so diffi- cult a play. Never has any class made a bigger sucess of its play. Never has any class had a better coach than our own Miss Suter. ln athletics, debating, dramatics and school club work the Twenty-one class has been the controlling force and domi- nant element. The Student Players' Club. one of the best in the school, has. since its existence two years ago, been under the P0110 Svrmiffl-0110 -fs eu be er HE eees carve sf- i V iALili6Ti' AITEUAL Q U - s iff: leadership of members of our class. Two- thirds of the debaters last year were 7215. The captains of both debating teams this year were members of our class. And both years saw our teams win unani- mously every debate in which they partic- ipated vvith other schools. The four pres- idents of the Hi-Y Club, Ray, Crane, Hulse and Shirey, were members of our class. Turn to any activity of importance in the school and you see the Twenty-one class leading it. The Twenty-one class has achieved all of these commendable things because the members of the class have all been good me s..J-2 O high school studentsg good because they have participated in the uplifting activi- ties of the school, because they have kept busy, and finally because they have faith- fully obeyed the laws and statutes of the school. VVe are now leaving-leaving for many different places and to take up many lines of work. But we are not afraid. We do not hesitate or falter. Relying upon the efhcient training we have received during the past four years, we go courageously forward to solve whatever problems may confront us. Ten Little Seniors 10 little Seniors went out to dine, One swallowed his knife and that left 9. 9 little Seniors each had a date, Richey got scared and that left 8. 8 little Seniors, fairest under heaven, One smoked a cigarette and that left 7. 7 little Seniors out playing tricks, Reising took Deister and that left 6. 6 little Seniors on their lessons strive, Miss Kolb flunked Ray and that left 5. 5 little Seniors wishing for more.

These Seniors are very important, for where would we be without a Day, Summers, a King, a Bridge, a Sunday, a Salon, the English, a Morse Ccodeb, and a Ray Qof sun- shinej?

Before I knew it, the year 1936 had come around. I was now beset with an over- powering desire, after fifteen years, to see again my friends, the members of the '21 class, and I was on the constant lookout for a means whereby I could visit all of them. During that entire time I had heard absolutely nothing from any of them with the exception of Bob Koerber, who was now engaged in the wholesale dia- mond cracking business. He told me confidentially that he used his head very often in his work. As luck would have it, on April 1, 1936, I chanced to enter a particularly fine looking restaurant in the 9000 block on Harrison St. Since I had not noticed the name of the place as I entered, I was almost overcome with surprise to see, strutting about the room with the air of owner, Helen Wooding. While I was enjoying a fairly good meal, who should walk in but Irv Deister. Irv was a little stooped and possessed the mark of the midnight lamp upon his eye- brow, due to the fact that he had become a great inventor, but he had not changed a great deal and we engaged in remin- iscences of our good old times at Fort Vtfayne I-Iigh School. When I made known my strong desire to see the class of '21 again, he immediately became en- thusiastic and said that he had the very machine that would fulfill my desire. r N1 ,ff ,- . ry ' ww ff. fp 2 10 1 'MA W Wifi fl- 4, 4? .5y,Z,f!,,, 3' Ag 21, ,I -. 2 :- ' V V , 51 nm, -3- 1 4 Us QT ' I x 7 '7Q.if'7f , - ', ' ' , gannf' ,fl ?. b by Ali V n.nm-.- fm ' - Q A Ml 6- w -- 4 -.- I UW? 1' I W5 7' in N' . E ,,fMfMm,?. 1 h.1C7'. Page S eventy-Fwr Imagine my surprise to learn that it was an invention of his, not yet made public, called the Locoferrator. We thereupon set a date for the following day to try out the apparatus. . The next day, as we looked over the machine, which Irv kept on his porch roof, he explained the thing to me. f'You see, said he, it resembles an air- plane with the wings cut off. These pro- pellors on top are for flying, while they also serve as the propelling medium in land driving. Radium forms the driv- ing force. I keep a can of the stuff in the house. The enormous disk here, on the inside, is the slot wherein the name of the person to be hunted is dropped. Immediately after you drop in a name the ship takes flight, and never stops until it has flown straight to the person of that name. I expect to sell a good many Locoferrators to bill collectors. I see, said I. Well, Irv produced his can of radium and we both clambered into the machine. Since the previous day, I had secured the names of everyone in the '21 class, and I inserted one in the slot in the front of the wonderful ship. Immediately we began to rise, and we were off. We did not go far, only to the outskirts of Ar- cola when we came to the ground with remarkable ease and poise and ran along swiftly, unerringly. The ship was mar- velous. Suddenly we came to an abrupt halt, and when I looked out I saw I-Iow- ard Rohr walking down the street with a piece of toast in his hand, and follow- ing him, keeping out of sight behind trees and buildings, came Michael Zweig and Edna Schwartz with a hungry look in their eyes. After I had slipped the next name into the machine, we found ourselves a long way off, in Phoenix, Arizona. There we saw Dorothy VVolf mangaing her hair net factory. VVorking for her were Bab Ux.5 '5 4,..sU A- tl-1a21.' HEj1fii,.i -ug if,-a . .avr Q LALDROQL AN H UAH Urbahns and Betty NVeiss. Dorothy claimed that Betty was her greatest net loss. Here also were Brons Ray and Sam Fletcher. They were engaged in separating the shakes from worn out milk shakes with the use of the Hanson- Guenther separator. About this time, our supply of radium became nearly depleted, with the result that we were forced to stop at Madame Dolly Gest's laboratory in Denver, where she manufactured it by heating radishes on a radiator. She told us that Bill Sihler's marriage to Irene Parvin had been a rank failure. Bill had sued for divorce, and the judge, Bud Bechtol, was all on his side. From that place we flew to the Insti- tution at Richmond, wherein a univer- sity had been established. Teaching in the college were Helen Archer, Modes of Masticationg Voil Anders, Principles of Procrastination, Viola Dunfee, Theoret- ical Rhetoric, and Ruth Loucks, Mathe- lTl a t i c al Irregularities. Prof. Shy Shirey, the head of the school, con- ducted a popular course in modern in- sanity. 'fAnything can be explained by the billiard table, said Shirey. VVe next saw Ralph Hosterman, the eminent Chemical Engineer, debating whether he should use a river bridge or just a ditch bridge to span the Little River ditch. According to our advice, he jumped across instead. When he landed on the other side, he caused a run on the bank. Dr. john Crane was the wealthiest member of the y2l class. He was the originator of the Crane process of neck massage. His method was so well known that people the world over now used the expression, I craned my neck this morning. Charlotte Mahurin was his chief masseuse. Her under- studies were Senora Rieke and Bee Gerard. VVe stopped long enough in New York to see Don Thomas and Bob Richey selling the VVoolworth building to cred- ii X-.JV ulous hicks. Among those being skun were Wfalt Paulison, the prune tree ex- pert, Catherine Dannecker, Clyde Han- son and Roland Schulz. Goldie Tarletz, Hope Toman, Gladys Eme and Vera Powell almost took a fling at the durn thing, but decided that it wasnlt worth their wool. Florence Gruber, the great lawyer, was now trying a case of Mul- hollgo, the famous beverage manufac- tured from mulberry stains by Eric Mulholland. We learned that Esther Bleke and her cousin, Mildred Bleke, had become his most expert stain gath- erers. Roland Smith sorted the stains. Soon after leaving New York our wing propellor became lodged in a cur- rent of air and was broken, so we were forced to put into Gerald Morches' ga- rage for repairs. His establishment was on the 99th floor of the Landenberger Bldg. in Hurwitz, N. Y. Dorothy Hor- mel ran the elevator that took us up. From the window we could see a sign on a theater building across the street, Tonight, Otis VVynekin's Big 1936 Re- vue, Starring Mildred Freuchte, with a wonder chorus, including Emma Bran- ning, Jessie Vhares. Opal Vklilliamson, and Margaret Wyneken. Another sign on a smaller building read, Dobler and Dunfee, Delicious Delicatessen Peanuts. The rich old maids, Gertrude Fleming and Gertrude Glissman, we learned, had established a historical society in Hur- witz, for the support of all half-witted Gertrudes. Harold Eninger and Hugh Kiefer had become expert tree climbers, and were that very day appearing in the Ralph Sunday vaudeville circuit at the Blauvelt theater. Uur next stop was at Kalamazoo, where julia Calhoun and Ruth Price were widely advertised to speak in a chautauqua. julia's subject was Gla- ciers and Their Boiling Pointf' while Ruthys was Hydrophobia. Katherine Beierlein was also on the program in a little skit called c'How I Learned to Talk Loudly by Boiling Eggs in a Boiler Fac- Pane Se venfy-Five -1, Q- leurs.- Lqzifj Ejzjr 1,43-33.5 S ov- qt' Z ALDR1,g, a,NHvA1L. tory. Yife heard that Foster Taft had interested a great many people in his new popcorn adventure. According to his plan, several married women, among whom were Hilda Auman, Lucille Bridge, Velma Cain, Gladys Palmer, and Bernice Brooks, popped corn every day for the starving Balgonians. The popped corn was taken to headquarters by Clifford Dygert, a truckman, where it was unpopped by Virgil Revert and Joe Plasket. The corn in its unpopped state was then shipped to Europe under the care of Floy Hetrick. Then all that the starving Balgonians had to do was repop the corn. For his noble idea, Taft was awarded a match box of match- less beauty by the President of Scandi- navia, Helen XVillson. A match was im- mediately struck. From Kalamazoo we traveled to Steal Springs, Pennsylchusetts, where George Crouse, Eddie NYelch and Harold Large were having their nerves steeled by taking baths. Wfe hunted up also Art Smith, but he was too sick to be seen. One bath house here was run by Martha Charles and Florence Flem- iong another by Kathryn joseph. Es- ther Moll was in town serving as a traveling doctor. She made her home on a street car because she thought she could telephone from it. just outside the city, Dorothy Garmire kept a dog biscuit farm. Tending the kennels were Mary Clark, Lena Doan, Beatrice Park- er and Dorothy Shunk. Ruthanna Fry, Marguerite Gladden, Thelma Campbell, and Merillat baked the biscuits. Our next stop was at Los Angeles. VVe learned that Abe Latker was direct- ing Ruth Pepper in her great photo- play, The Shades of Delma Harp. The producing company was headed by Paul Bauer. the great gambler. In a mob scene in the picture were the fol- lowing celebrities: Edna Ferneau, Martha Henry, Jessie Hemphill, Esther Oyer and Elfrieda Pieper. Dorothy I'f1yfv SCIAFIIUI-Sf-I' Johnson and Helen Lowry kept a piano stand on Music St. Across the street was a sign, HHadley and Pape, First and Second-handed Gloves and Overshoesf' Wie heard that they were rising in the business hand over foot. Fletcher Carey and Fred Ehrman worked for them as second hand men. Of course that news was first hand. Then a funny thing happened. XVhen I dropped the next name in the machine, the blame thing started upward, straight up. VVell, thought I, I'll bet that that person has gone to heaven, and there's no use going way up theref, So I re- moved his name and inserted another. Wfho do you think the first was? Glenn Cunnison. VVe afterwards found out that Marian Longsworth. Frieda Reber, Ed Steinhauser, Adrian Kobr and Virgil johnson were also in heaven. W'hen we came back to earth, we land- ed on the Pacific on board a ship called Donald English. Here were Mildred Rolf and Alice Scoles ,the famous dress designers, traveling to Honolulu to dis- cover how the Hawaiians got along without clothing. The captain turned out to be Dave VVild, Bill Schafer and Alv Cowell were stokersg Carl Miller played in the ship's orchestra and served as cabin boy as a sideline. Percy Pep- per was wireless operator on board. Now Al Summers, a passenger, carried a portable wireless set with him in his stateroom and drove Percy almost in- sane by secretly sending out S. 0. S. messages from his room and signing them with the name of another ship. VVe next landed in Buenos Ayres. S. A., where Frances Morse was study- ing the gamluticus bazumpis, a black type of polar bear. Along with him as stenographers were Esther Sirit, Mar- garet Smith, june Andrews and Mary McKinney. Accompanying the Morse expedition was another sent out by the Harris and Heller Packing Co. of Chi- cago to investigate the bobbing motion gy' e 'lit-JA' -'czff Hnlffa- eQ-IQ'i',s-- ---Vo q U ALDROMEQNHUMJ of the Atlantic icebergs. This expedi- tion carried a barometer which was kept oiled by Vera Archer and June Christman. Cecil Kohr was the head of the party. lfVe now rose to a great height, passed pole, then the equator, Nome, Alaska. Here a popular saloon where over the south and land-ed in Ralph Day ran Bob Van Every was the chief bar tty. Harriet johnson and Mildred Pfeiffer were in town prospecting for gold. Dil- bert Kintz owned an immense dance hall and employed Eileen VVager as his bal- let leader. Howard Dean sang popular songs in the ten cent store and in the same place, Pauline W'einbrunner sold spoons. She said that was the nearest she ever came to enjoying a spoon. Siberia was our next destination, where we saw Ed Dodez from a long way off, on top of a high tower. It seems that he was looking over his ex- tensive strawberry and dandelion orch- ards. He had heard that they were making short cake out of one part of his property, and short work of the other. All I could see was a couple of people in tatters walking along the rail- road, one of whom was Velma Craw- ford. Nellie Habecker and Geraldine McKee had both become eminent sky pilots in the Siberian army whose gen- eral, by the way, was Ralph King. L. Spenser and Bud Comparet were water boys to the pearl divers in the great pearl industry at Vladivostok owned by the heiresses Esther Sprandel and Flor- ence Bermon. Pauline Klopfenstein and Helen Miller were in the employ of the company in the capacity of pearl testers. They had to dissolve the raw pearls in prussic acid and if they dissolved, then they were real pearls. W'e were now coming near the end of our journey. In San Francisco we saw Esther Wolf, Anita Ackerman, Carroll Horman and Helen Brueckner at a meeting of a club called the Wives of the Millionaires. They informed us that Fannie Salon and Thelma Shook- man were also members of the club, but that they were temporarily ineligible be- cause their husbands, Bob Saviers and Elmer Soest had lost a little of their total millions in gambling, Two of the big guns of the city were Diz Adams and Ed Schele, who together had pat- ented a device for stopping all vibra- tigits on Fords. Their idea was to stop the Ford altogether. The patent sold madly, however, and among the success- ful users were Mary McKinney, Jerome Meader and Glenn Benton. Conway Honeck, Mike Brayer and Dale Arnold, composing the Honeck Trio were mak- ing a hit about town. Their specialty was l-loeing Necks in Arnold's Gar- den. Mike used no musical instrument whatsoever, so he was the novelty. He merely lived up to his last name. The gas plant was owned by Helen Ciaskill and run by Bernice Lakey. I now thought that we had seen every- one in our class, and was for turning home, but suddenly my hand fell upon one last name, Ray vlones. How could I have missed him. -Ionsy was a nickel- plater in Oshkosh, O. His business con- sisted in buying up cheap chinaware and old nickels and uniting the two. Wfhen the Nickel l'late Road went to smash in 1930, ,lonsv was on hand to scrap all the nickelplate. He said that the plate was in good condition, but that he was forced to add S310 in nickels to the mixture in order to make it shiny. It happened that when we left, .lones was in very much of a hurry to shake hands with me. So much so, in fact, that in his rush he cracked the side of the Locoferrator with his list. Horrors! Heavens! I found myself suddenly in the midst of a frightful explosion. 'fThe radiumf' said Irv, as both of us shot skyward. Report of the STENV HULSE PROPHETIC BUREAU April 2, l956.

However, we shall depart somewhat from that custom, because, unless the author of the article is a dramatic critic his criticisms are likely not to be very weighty. So, instead, we shall use the comments of those persons whose opinions on dramatics we highly respect. The following is Mrs. Lane's com- ment on the presentation of the 1921 Senior class play: To have won in dramatics the en- thusiasm and acclamation of critical theater-goers, is the distinction of the Class of '2l. They chose their play, not from the lists for juveniles, but from good professional drama, and developed amateur acting at its very best. They won distinction for their class and set the pace for classes to come. If this standard can be maintained, the Senior play ought to become an annual event outside the high school circle, It should be for Fort Wayiie an entertainment feature of the year. Certainly our johns and Dorothys, lrwins and Charlottes, Roberts and Elizabeths, and the rest, as Mr. john Milton so accurately reported. Hennobled have the buskined stage. Nlfhen they slip off their mantles and step out of their learned socks, we shall fold said buskins, socks, and man- tles, and lay them away in mothless keeping for another day.

The production was so well drilled that it was right up to the profes- sional notch. There was hardly a forgotten line or a noticeable mistake which is usual- ly evident in home talent plays. The play was something quite out of the ordinary, be- ing very heavy and taking splendid acting to put it over The old fashioned gowns worn were beautiful and one imagined that they had been put away ea lavender, they were so gorgeous and handsome. The parts were all well played and showed hours of hard study and rehearsing. The action covered a period of 52 years and during that period there were many love affairs and one could hardly but notice that the change in the girls and boys of the olden days and now. In the early 1860 the sweethearts listened entirely to the parents, but in the year 1912, the girl thought for herself and the grandfather was shown that he was no longer head of the family. The part of John Rhead was placed in the able hands of John Crane. Miss Dorothy Wolf made a lovely Rose Sibley and later Mrs. Rhead. She played her part in a grace- ful and charming manner. Miss Elizabeth Urbahns, as Gertrude Rhead, the aunty, whose love affair was disappointing, was an adorable role, played with ease and grace. Irwin Deister as Ned Pym, the man about the town, was most interesting. He bore all of the ear marks of being a. professional. Robert Koerber and Dwight Shirey added to the success of the play with their splen- did work. Charlotte Mahurin made a dainty and petite Emily Rhead, Robert Landen- berger deserves a great deal of credit in playing the difhcult role of the Englishman, Lord Monkhurst, affecting a most natural English accent. Donald Thomas, Nellie Habecker, Edward Dodez, Stewart Hulse and Robert Saviers did splendid work.H t'The Journal Gazette. M I LESTON ES A capacity house witnessed the first per- formance of Milestones,'l presented by the Senior class of the Fort Wayne High School last evening at the Majestic Theater under the able direction of Miss Marjorie Suter, teacher of dramatic art and expression. Un- usual talent was displayed by each member of the cast, marking the production as near like a professional show as could be. The costumes were indeed worthy of special mention. Many a trunk was ransacked for f Page Scrcnfy-Xinc .Z'ESALd5Ri6j1-g deiiiivmlplgl the gorgeous old fashioned gowns of earlier days. The story covers a period of 52 years from 1860 to 1912, and is an excellent English comedy, written by Arnold Bennett and Edward Knoblach. The settings were love- ly and the antique furniture used was lent by Mrs. E. M. Hulse. Miss Elizabeth Urbahns as Gertrude Rhead scored a tremendous hit. Other im- portant characters who portrayed their parts like professionals were: John Crane as John Rheadg Dorothy Wolf as Rose Sib- ley and later Mrs. Rheadg Irwin Deister as Ned Pynig Robert Koerber as Sain Sibleyg Dwight Shirey as Arthur Pierceg Robert Landenberger as the Englishman, Lord Monkhurstg Charlotte Mahurin as Emily Rheadg Nellie Habecker as Muriel Pymg lld- ward Dodez as Thompsong Stewart Hulse as Websterg Robert Saviers as the footmang Dorothy Johnson as Mrs. Rhead, and Bea- trice Gerard as Mrs. Sibley.

Miss Suter to Be Commended. Well, it's over, even most of the shouting. Every student belongs in one of two classes, he either did or did not see the best ama- teur theatrical performance that was ever staged by any Senior class of the high school. Elizabeth Urbahns's work in the play has been classed as professional in parts by several dramatic critics. She was able to bring the audience to tears several times. Since she took one of the principal parts .she deserves much of the credit for making the play such a hit as it was. John Rhead QJohn Cranel and Rose Sib- ley tDorothy Wolfl were exceptionally good considering the fact that their characters were difficult to portray. Dorothy Johnson as old Mrs. Rhead proved to be a very in- teresting character due mostly to her good acting. Irwin Deister as wealthy Ned Pym had the audience Won over before he had even finished his first sentence. To quote from a critic, He has the earmarks of a profes- sionalf' Page Eighty Bob Koerber and Beatrice Gerard were enjoyed by the entire audience. Everyone agreed that these two characters were the lite of the second act. Koerber, with his square rimmed glasses, and Miss Gerard, with her distinct bustle,,' were able to bring the house down several times. Com- menting on Miss Gerard's acting one critic said, There wasn't a better piece of acting done in the whole play. The general opinoin of Charlotte Mahurin and Dwight Shirey's acting was that it was done very well. As to Bob Landenberger, the only two words which will describe his work are that he was simply great. No one in the Senior class could have gotten off the English drawl and manners as well as Mr. Landen- berger did. Stewart Hulse as Webster, who opened the third act, with Mr. Landenberg- er, acted in accordance with the latter's manners, that is to say, Mr. Hulse was also very good. Nellie Habecker, Don Thomas, Edward Dodez and Bob Saviers also are to be coin- mended on their splendid acting. However, THE credit for having the Senior play go over the way it did belongs to Miss Suter, the coach.-From The Spot- lighflf, The costumes used in the play were very elaborate. One of the gowns was worn by the Council General's wife at the VVorld's Fair. Several of the other gowns had been worn by noted society women in Wfashington at the affairs given for the Foreign Dignitaries. These gowns were loaned the cast by Mrs. Metzger. The period furniture was secured from Mrs. E. Hulse, Mrs. S. Wolf and Mrs. Lane. The Senior play cast is very much indebted to these persons for the use of their valuable furniture. Following is a statement from the coach, Miss Suter: HA splendid cast, I say. A cast who knew how to work and perserveref' The business staff of the new play de- serves some credit for the play,s having gone over so well, for no play can suc- ceed without a cornpetent business staff. All in all, it was a magnificent success, and the play stands as a real milestone in the history of Senior plays in Fort NVayne High School. if QV' F NWIQUAL 'A'-9365!

Enarc, '21Q The journalistic history of Fort Wayne High School is decidedly short com- pared to the history of the school. Our school is fifty-seven years old-yes, a little older perhaps. It was not until 1903, however, that it occurred to the students of the school that an official school publication was needed. Qnce the need was felt, action was taken, with the result that on September 15, 1903, the time-honored Caldron, which was the only school publication for the following sixteen years, came into existence. From the time of its inception in 1903 until the present time, the path of high school journalism has been been one of progress. For a period of nine years C1904-19135 the monthly publication appeared regularly. ln this period three classes attempted to publish an Annual and only one was successful. So the class of 1914, in order to celebrate the golden anni- versary of the school, decided they would do something remarkable. And they did-for they put out the best Annual that had yet been published. From 1915-1919 the Caldron appeared regularly each month and each spring an Annual was prepared, each class endeavoring to do better than did the class which preceded it. Then came the autumn of 1919. This was a period of fundamental changes in our high school journalism. lt witnessed the death of the aged Caldron and the birth of something infinitely better. The 120 class, with Ed Thomas as presi- dent, had the honor of bringing about the progressive revolution in the school's journalism. The officers of the class, in conference with Mr. Warcl, decided that the Caldron should be banished forever-and thus it passed into oblivion. Now that the Caldron was no more the committee, after lengthy consider- ation, decided that a weekly newspaper, intsead of a monthly magazine, would benefit the school. Accordingly plans were made for the issuance of the newly planned publication. It was decided that the publication should be under the control of a board of managers, composed of the Senior class officers and two others elected by the class, in addition to the principal and the official faculty adviser. This board with the faculty had the power to appoint the Editor and Business Manager and also the power to remove either in case of non-performance of duty. The Editor has the right to choose his own staff and also the power to discharge any of the staff he appoints. At the Senior class election Edwin Thomas, Martha Irmscher and Walter Helmke, elected to office, became members of the Eoard of Managers. Mary Eunice Eaton and Bob Pollak were elected by the class to complete the Board. Mr. Null was appointed faculty adviser. In due course of time the new publication appeared, with Robert Pollak as editor. lt was decided to name the paper Spotlighti' and the name has proved a good one. The first issue of the Spoflfglzt appeared on Oct. 3, 1919. In this iggug the purpose of the paper was outlined. Except in a few details the purpose of the paper this year is the same as last year's. Below is the purpose reproducerlg Iwzyfr' Ii,'i,f,'l1f!1-Ni.1- Q - - - Ulf ' UJLY- -f7,Q2?,T HB3ZQ'lA ogg L-'Trv Y on 0 ALDAROIL QQNNUALZ I.

To. entertain to a limited extent. Everything went nicely until the spring of the year, when the Business Manager was almost drowned in a sea of sea minuses, and as a result was forced to quit the staff. Bob Pollak, editor, soon followed suit and was sustained with difficulty by Alice McKeehan, who was then chosen co-editor. However, after a slight reorganization the publication continued without interruption until the close of the year. And finally comes the greatest year of newspaper work the school has ever witnessed-the year just passed. The Spotlight this year eclipsed last yearls publication as the sun does the moon. Early last September the officers of the Senior class got together with Mr. Null to plan what had best be done about the school newspaper for the ensuing year. After a discusion and examination of last yearys experiences it was decided that several changes needed to be made in the organization of the work. The purpose of the changes was to make the paper as much as possible like a modern newspaper as far as organization was concerned. It was at length agreed to make the following changes: I. All news articles are to be under the charge of what is called a city editor: the city editor assigns articles to all the reporters and corrects all articles submitted for publication. He determines what shall or shall not be printed. 2. The editor is to write the editorials only. He is to determine the policy ofthe paper. Discharge of staff members is under his jurisdiction. 3. A business manager shall be chosen to supervise the financial work con- nected with the paper. A circulation and advertising manager shall be appointed to help him. 4. Reporters are to be chosen by competition. All desiring a place on the staff must submit articles for publication. Those submitting the best articles will be chosen. 5. All reporters will be classed as general. Tn other respects the paper was to remain the same-except in quality. Stewart Hulse was chosen editor, John Crane city editor, Joseph Folsom assistant editor, and Robert Koerber business manager. Helen XYooding was chosen literary editor and proved a very capable staff member. The first issue appeared on Friday, October S, at which time 698 copies were cold. as compared with 532 copies on the same date the year before. The quality of the paper from the start was admirable and continued that wav thruout the year. Many times the demand exceeded the supply. The average circulation for the two months of October and November was 720 copies per week, a record never before equaled. The average circulation for the same two months in roto was 532 copies per week. Just before Christmas a special eight page paper was issued which met the favor of the entire student body. Tn a few minutes every copy of this issue had been sold. During the month of March, because of the city editor's participation in the Senior Plav, Joe Folsom took over the duties of city editor and thorolv learned the tricks of the trade. None of the staff this year were overwhelmed in a sea of low grades. The editor was valedictorian of the Senior class. the business manager salutatorian, the city editor an honor student. the literary editor third Pam' Efyf71fy1-.Qrf1-M1 SQA among the honor students and one of the star reporters the valedictorian of next year's class. Un May 20, 1920, the final issue of the Spotlight appeared in the form of the 1'Nutty Number, a unique issue and one greatly enjoyed. --OOO-1 And so ends the history of the Spotlight, to date. Since its birth two years ago the paper has made remarkable progress, much more this year than last. The present staff and Twenty-one class wish next yearls class the best of success in its publications. With Joseph Folsom and Arletta Schmuck as a nucleus, we entertain little fear that the quality of next year's paper will be inferior to that of the year just closing. tooo?

A In February our thoughts turned to class elections. At a meeting, which made Room 1 look more like the polls at election time, we decided that Bob Nipper possessed all the virtues CPD of a president and that Chuck Miles was the ablest assistant as vice-president. To take care of our funds, Sophia Irmscher was elected secretary-treasurer. Our social affairs we placed in very compet- ent handsg namelyj those of Margaret Heine, Don'McKeeman and Jeanette Al- bert. Miss Nelson and Mr. Croninger were chosen Ito try and keep us from mischief. Green and gold are the colors upon sight of which everyone immedi- ately thinks of our magnificent class. In April, we just more than put our- selves in the limelight by giving a class party in the fashion of a county fair. Were we all present? Well, I guess KlyeS.l, :zf ak fl: In September we returned as high and mighty Sophomores and, as our name suggests, we knew everything. But this fact did not keep us from applying our- selves diligently to our I studies. A glance at our class record will uphold this statement. Being pretty well ac- quainted by this time, we were anxious to place the title of class officer on some of our leading brothers and sisters. Em. Deister was the unfortunate person upon whom we wished the title of presi- dent, and as Chuck Miles' ability as Page Ninety-Two assistant was in demand, we re-elected him vice-president. As. Sophia Irm- scher could have gotten away' with more money than she did, we again condes- cended to make her secretary-treasurer. Since Kathryn Willson, Gus Rump and Margaret Heine were just more than so- ciety leaders, we placed them on the so- cial council. After a painstaking search for capable guides, we chose Miss Haw- kins and Mr. Murch as faculty advisors. Then things began to hum. We gave a party that made all other social events look sick. Besides the main attraction- the eats',-we had games and dancing. To sum it all up in one sentence: the party was a grand success. as :sf PF Then came last September and with it an intense desire to make our junior year one never to be forgotten. To this end we bent all our efforts. In due ap- preciation of the w'6rk,xdone by our offi- cers of the previous year, we re-elected them to their respective offices. Having in view the giving of a ,successful Junior Promenade, we elected Helen Pape, VValter Bessel and Hertha Stein to the social council. By the way, most reverend reader, which spring event lingered longest in your memory? Why the junior Prom, of course! Did we uphold our reputa- tion as social leaders? I'll say we did. And say, have you seen our pins and rings? f'Real classu has been everyone's verdict. The junior class l.s always taken a prominent part in school athletics. Members of our class have striven hard to place F. VV. H. S. on the map. School first, then classf' has been our motto. Wfith competent officers at its helm and a willing crew, the good ship ZZ has successfully navigated three years of patient study, and now only the last, our Senior year, lies between us and our destination-a cap and gown.

Somewhat dazed, I mounted a long flight of marble steps with the aid of a golden railing. After disclosing my business as that of an Ambassador from Earth, I was admitted through a golden gate and ushered into the hum-drum office of St. Peter, dealer in human destinies. The Saint, a man of some years, yet well preserved, slammed down a tele- phone as Ilentered, muttering, Rotten service, I can't even get Cuba, Exodus- oh ! he exclaimed, beholding me. .

D A'-DROIQLHQQNNUAL .. History of the Class of ,23 QMary jane Crane, '23j W'hen the class of '23 came through the portals of F. XY. H. S. in September, 1919, it forced the other classes to Hsit up and take notice, despite the fact that we were only Freshies. To show what an intelligent lot we were, not one of us was found guilty of waiting for the ele- vator to take him up to the third floor or of being the object of any other practical joke played by upper class- men. To guide us through our infant days we chose Robert Baral, president: Earl Gardner, vice-president, Elizabeth Had- ley, secretary-treasurer, and Louella Schwehn, Dorothy' Mossman and Re- gine Minske on the Social Council. The colors chosen were Orange and Blue, and the faculty advisors, Miss fiardner and Mr. Murphy. The splendid class party on May 12 was ample evidence that our officers were wisely chosen. This year, being Sophomores, far su- perior to the Freshmen, and old enough to manage our own affairs, we had an early election. Robert Baral had carried us very successfully through our Freshman year, so we re-elected him president, Dorothy Mossman was chosen as his running mateg Park Wil- liams was entrusted with the money and Dorothy McDougall, Elizabeth Hadley and Paul Hahn were elected members of the Social Council. Miss Heighway and Mr. Chappell were asked to serve as fac- ulty advisers. Un November 12 we gave our first class party for the year, which was a huge success. Everybody turned out ffr it, from Freshies to dignined C???J Seniors, who all had a very enjoyable time, dancing and being entertained. Far be it from me, to unduly laud over accomplishments, but 1 MUST say, that during our two years at F. VV. H. S. we have done much toward the advance- ment of the school by giving it superior and winning athletes, enthusiastic sportsmen, good students and lots of school spirit. we are now about to enter upon our third year of high school life. Let the last two years be a prophecy for greater achievements in the next two. Twenty- three! just watch us! ! l l lllustrious sophomores Our peroxide kid is Virginia Johnson, otherwise known as .Iinx. The boy with the curly hair is Bob Baral-you should see him camel-walk! The girl who is Theda Bara-ing around school is Helen Scheimer. Fark XVillia1ns is the boy with the un- pressed trousers. Alma Schele is the stately beauty that sits on the bench-mostly!

Catherine Miller is just full of Hgig- gles all the time. fiiAm6H 51i Grape Nuts There a Reason QBy Herb Riekey Hampton Harvey had never been in love, but not on account of the lack of necessary qualities. Quite the opposite. He was tall, handsome, and drove a Pugeot sport model speedster. But what was still more astounding, he claimed he never would fall for any girl. For this reason there was a special meeting of the Question Mark Club, held in the room of Ralph Hadley, a member, at least one hour after the last bell for lights out. Something must be wrong with that guy, came a hoarse whisper from Wfil- liam Parks. Any fellow that will turn down a bid from Marne Heinz to go to the 'Tapa Keg' dance is a little wrong upstairs. That isn't the questionf, whispered the third member, Bob Barlton. What we want to decide, is what are we going to do about it? You're right, Bob, returned Parks, something should be done to a fellow who turns down Marne Heinz. Wfhy, Illl leave it to you if she isn't the sweet- est, cutest, noblest- Less noise, lovesickf' whispered Ralph, excitedly. I've got the idea. VVe'll invite Harvey to go with us to your uncle's summer resort on the Hud- son. And just to make it interesting bet him he will fall in love. You know Lue will be up there and er-er Con- stance. The last he added with a trace of a blush, but on account of the dark- ness it was unobserved. f'But, persisted Parks, you've got to admit my Marne is the sweetest, cutest and- The door opened suddenly. 'iVVell, came the deep voice of the headmaster. Maybe she is the sweetest and noblest, but talk about her in the morning, boys, youlre waking up the whole house? It was now the first of July. A steamer was working its way up the Hudson, carrying the boys towards one of New York's fashionable summer re- sorts. Bill, to his great delight, had been sent ahead to secure a bevy of beauties, to meet Harvey at the boat and camp cn his trail during his stay at the hotel. Ralph and Bob were on the boat taking care that no girls they knew es- caped the sight of Harvey. During the first dance they attended the club again called a meeting to dis- cuss the luck they had already had. Ralph, the presiding ofhcer, began hos- tilities. Say, fellows, have you noticed it too? This is the third dance in succession that Harvey has had with that girl. VVhich one of you introduced her to him? Each boy looked at the other expect- ing a reply, but each boy was disap- pointed, for no reply came. At length Parks broke out. XYhy she is almost as pretty as my sweetest, cut- est, noblest and-- Oh shut up, lovesickf' interrupted Ralph. XYe all know that she is good looking, but the question is to who knows her well enough to give us an in- Prme fllIflHl!lI1ll'CII 0110 w. H cu 3-,. erlagrgo HE1jjtg r: c,,.v,1-33, g ov Q . ILALDRO H HAI-e..l . troductionf' Again there was a pause and then Ralph continued: '6VVell, I guess our only hope is Harvey. yVe'll ask him when he finishes this dance. Wlith one last weird moan of the saxo- phone the music came to an abrupt stop. The boys made a wild dash for Harvey, but to their great disgust they found the seat next' to him unoccupied. She was nowhere to be seen. I VVho's the dame, Harvey? Give us an introduction and-U Introduce me first so I can have the next dance, interruptedlBob. VVliy shels the Nt s 'e'1fest and-'l stated Parks, only to be interrupted by Harvey. l.cok l'cre fellows. How can I in- troduce a girl I don't know? What's mr' re you needn't worry about dances with her, because I have all the rest of them for tonight at least. And what's even better I'm sitting this one out on the veranda. And I'm in a hurry. S0 long. .f'VVell! Of all the dirty tricks! Ain't them the berries ? broke out Bob as the trio stood gazing open-mouthed at the fleeing Harvey. The only thing to do now is to find out how they met. Some- one else around here must know her. Let's ask the girls. They started out on their search for this person, who knew this beautiful damsel, but as the end of the season ap- proached the only one who had made any progress was Harvey, who by this time became quite intimate with her. One more day remained before the termination of the bet, when the boys came to Harvey. f'VX'ell. you can't deny you lose the bet. Did you get your money's worth F jeered Ralph. f'Don,t count your bridges before they are hatchedfl returned Harvey. Re- member the bet doesn't close until to- morrow night. I'fl!fr' Our' Illlnflwrl Tuw I'll tell you,', began Parks, if you will give us a real nice introduction we'1l let you in on the cruise tomorrow. Eh! fellows ? 'fNothing doingf exclaimed Harvey. I wouldn't bother that girl with an in- troduction to you for a trip around the world. HListen! exclaimed Ralph excitedly, Hif the rest of the fellows are willing, we'll call off the bet. You fellows seems to think that I'm not a good enough sport to lose my bet, but just to show you that you're wrong, we'll leave the bet stand and I'll intro- duce you tomorrow night. The clothing store did a good business with the H? Club the next day, as each boy fitted himself with a snappy, new outfit, the selection of which occupied most of the morning, while the after- noon the boys spent in attiring for the great occasion. Although the boys had a long strug- gle with stiff shirts and elusive collar buttons they arrived early, also excited. They found a cozy resting place from where they could see the people as they came in. and still see themselves in a large mirror nearby. They were there at seven promptly, but at nine no Har- vey had arrived. At ten, after the boys had almost given up hope, Harvey walked in with the girl. Three hearts thumped as Harvey started towards them, with no apparent notice. They watched the couple go through a long fox trot, and then, to their great joy, Harvey approached them again. Each boy glanced nervously at the mir- ror, as he arose to meet the long ad- mired beauty. Harvey began, Kate, let me present my three chums, Mr. Hadley, Mr. Parks and Mr. Barlton. Boys, meet Miss Kathryne Harvey, my sister. wp -arf: ' I L L X ,,, , A ' -gf. ,,f',' ' -f HF- gi, , -,f 1. , . . ' 5 , 'F' .k '-ng. 1- ,M my , r' . , w .P 1 ,uf 'HL 'fn If K- ' 1 1 M ?

Wfith Art Pauli- son as president, ably assisted by Louis Wlilkens, vice-president, and Jane Spald- ing as secretary-treasurer, it is no won- der that such a fine social council was appointed. Wle all have seen from our party that Suzanne Meyers, Bob Dreis- bach and Mary Folsom make up a good social council. VVhat we would do with out our faculty advisors, Mr. Croninger and Miss Flentye is impossible to even think ol. As for our colors Brown and Orange, besides being attractive, they are symbols of success. Qur hrst party in May was a com- plete success Calthough our parties next year will be betterj. The jefferson Club rooms were the scene of all this gaiety. Games and dancing are always popular. so everyone was happy. Paul Hahnys orchestra furnished such good music that it was impossible to keep from dancing. The rooms were beautifully decorated in the class colors and the re- freshments , well-refreshments are al- ways good and these were exceptionally delicious. Of course. next year when we come back we will be Sophomores and as Sophomores, we will do bigger and bet- ter things each day to make Fort VVayne High proud of the class of '24. HELEN S.

M V v 5' W 1 'Q 1 The Spotlight vaudeville fBy Esluhy It was with a premonition of seeing a wonderful performance that the audi- ence gathered for the Hrst appearance of the Spotlight Vaudeville on the afternoon of Friday, May 20. And it had been with a feeling of coming success that the actors and the management had staged that performance. Both prophecies were amply justified in the great Spotlight Vaudeville of 1921. The show had, before the first act was finished, proved its quality. For Hertha Stein, Brons Ray, and Carl Miller presented in that act some of the finest music that has been heard in F. VV. H. S. for many a day. Their trio -was composed of piano, 'cello and violin. Following them, there walked upon the stage one Alkar Rabbazini, alias Joe Folsom. The success of Alkarys act was hypnotic. Through the use of his great power he forced Glenn Cunnison to perform many unheard of deeds. Wfhen Stew Hulse, the manager, tried to hand him the hook, he turned upon him and com- pelled him to transform himself from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde. Next came Paul and Martha Hahn, who, with their unequaled Xylophone solos and singing numbers, secured the greatest applause of all. Their act was called Bits of Harmony . When the curtain again rose, it disclosed the great Prof. Benj. Null, and john Crane, who then proceeded to introduce the professor in glowing and puffed-out words. Mr. Null was the great orator of the evening. He preached a sermon containing the whole language from A to Z. Then Gah Bowers, our school's favorite, scored a hit as only he can do it by singing several clever songs. Gah was ably accompanied by Hertha Stein. Following them came Bobby Koerber and Dotty W'olf, pianologuists. Their act was remarkably successful and as good almost as big time vaudeville. They played Von Suppe's great HPoet and Peasantn as a duet, Their work on the piano was excellent. But now came the relentless Abie Latker upon the next scene. Abie was just as funny as ever and upheld his reputation for being good enough for the stage any time. And the grand finale was an impressive exhibition of electrical high frequency by Mr. Champion and Charles Hendrick. Their act was acclaimed most inter- esting and one of the best of the show. Added to this account of the brilliant acts in the vaudeville must be some mention of the fact that these acts were staged both classily and without the usual delays and waits. Charles Hendrick, Harold Pape and Stewart Hulse handled that end of the proposition. And to Helen XVooding goes the great credit for selling the tickets. There was another factor that added to the success of the show, and that was the Senior Curtain,-its first appearance. CURTAIN OF THE IQZI CLASS At chapel exercises on Monday, May 16, there was dedicated one of the finest gifts that has ever been made to the school by any class in its history. The Senior curtain will long continue to rise and fall as a monument to the class of IQZI. For all the members that could be reached gave their part to make the presentation a sucess. The curtain is beautiful and therefore does it greatly alter the aspect of our auditorium. The old red rag that had been hanging since the beginning of time had become so unsightly and dusty that it was with great danger of being pow- dered with the accumulation of the ages that people sat down in the front row. And so the Seniors have accomplished another great thing for their school. They hope that the school will benefit immensely from their gift.

The blackface work, the clever singing and dancing, the beautiful costumes and scenery, and the splendid work of everyone concerned contributed to its success. Fine audiences greeted the performance on the nights of January 21 and 22. The big show was preceded by good music which got the audience in a cheerful mood for the line acts which were to follow. Perhaps the best act was the one depicting a ship and its crew and visitors. There was much opportunity for good singing and dancing in this act and it was made good use of. The other acts which went over big were The Ragtime VVedding, The Big Show, and The Old Fashioned Garden. Hoop-La was a great show and those responsible for its success merit a great deal of praise. A show on this order should be an annual event in our school.

GJ Earth has not anything to show more fair, is the poetic sentence that one of the noted poets used in expressing some certain thing which was particularly beautiful to him. These few words will also serve to describe the class of nine- teen hundred and twenty-one. Gradua- tion always comes to us in the most beautiful season of the yearg Spring, is that fairy time of exquisite blossoms, lovely parties and sweet girl graduates. The girl graduate is busy for weeks ahead planning her wardrobe for the social affairs, The great department stores are truly enchanting at this time. Here, Spring lives foreverg from that ribbon bedecked nook where lovely ruf- fled organdies are enhanced by soft laces to that corner where the daintiest of silver and satin slippers are placed before a background of lustrous satin fwhat young girl would not like to be a Cinderalla if she wore this dainty foot- wear?j And that pretty blue and white French room, where waxen models stand eternally and smilefrobed in the latest conceits of Dame Fashion. For the Commencement Exercises she will not be troubled with thoughts of clothes, for her cap and gown will be just as effective to her and to mother and dad, as is her most beautiful frock. Also she is looking ahead to the Fall, when she will go away to learn of greater things, she will be just a wee bit home- sick, but we will not think of this now but rather of the gay times the girls and boys are now enjoying. One of the gayest Commencement Dances that has been given for many a year was given on Friday evening, June 17, at VVolf Sz Dessauer's. Une would never think that there were so many pretty girls and handsome young men as appeared at this dance. The girls, attired in dainty Summer frocks, all wearing beautiful corsages produced an almost fairy-like appearance. The ballroom and mezzanine was completely transformed into a bow of Spring blos- soms and fragrant roses intermingled with gorgeous palms and ferns. Danc- ing began at nine olclock and continued until a faint streak of light was visible in the dark sky, john Wfattls orchestra played fascinating music and before the evening was half over even the chap- erones were unable to resist the tempta- tion and were tripping the light fantas- tic down and around the gay colored ballroom. 1.07. Une of the most brilliant social af- fairs of the school year was the junior Pronienadefl which was given on Satur- day evening, May 21, in the Wolf 81 Des- sauer ballroom. Nearly one hundred couples spent an enviable evening danc- ing to the wonderful music of john NVatt,s orchestra. The ballroom was a mass of color produced by the tall standards of lovely fiowers which were artistically placed around the room. The committee in charge of the dance worked hard to make it the success that it was. limil Deister was chairman, and he was ably assisted by Miss Sophia Trmscher, Miss Helen Pape, Miss Her- tha Stein, VValter Possell and Charles Miles. -0, One of the most delightful and unique parties that was ever given by any Freshman class was given on Friday evening, Nay 13th, in the jefferson Club on Wfest Berry Street. The ballroom was ahloom with many entrancing flow- ers and ferns. The class colors, Brown and Orange, also added effectiveness to the elaborate decorations. Paul Hahn's orchestra played wonderfully well, and everyone spent a most enjoyable eye- P0g7e One HlllIfII'0fI Seventeen vfif -,-U-,. .e up-J HB211- -fl-sw -ef Q .15 LJALDROQ EANNUMLJ D 13-s,pQ's-'o O ning of games and dancing.

The lfli-Y orchestra played won- dcrfullv well and they were unusually peppy. U .Xfter everyone had danced until a late hour, a most delightful col- lation was served. Miss S. X'MlllQC1'f as- sisted the committee in arranging the party. The cliaperoncs were: Mr. and Mrs. Yoorhees, Mr. Chappel, Mrs. Rob- ert Koerber, Miss Maurine lleighway. Mrs. Dancer and Mrs. NYilder. The af- fair was given at the jefferson Club. On a cold, clear night in the middle of December, about one hundred Seniors enjoyed a most delightful bob party. Three huge bob sleds were secured and the gay crowd started on a shivery ride to New Haven. Upon their return to the school dancing was enjoyed and a delicious lunch was served. Miss Mar- jorie Suter chaperoned the party. The Metropolitan orchestra furnished peppy music and the young people had a happy time gliding up and down our bleak cor- ridors. Mrs. Robert Koerber, Sr., and Mrs. Ray assisted at the school. Bron- son Rav was chairman of the commit- tee in charge of this affair, which proved a tremendous success notwithstanding the fact that it was arranged on short notice. wi The Senior and 'lunior girls were charming hostesses for a lovely informal party which was given on the evening of May 6th at the jefferson Club, in Pllflt' One llHnrl1'e17 Ii'iy171fr'e11 Xlfest Berry Street, for the pleasure of tlieir mothers. The spacious rooms were gay with many bright colored Spring flowers and blue and white, the school colors, were also used in the decorations. :X clever program was ar- ranged and presented by the girls and at the conclusion a delectable repast was served by the hostesses. The party was lovely in every respect and every mother and daughter had a most enjoy- able time. wgi A very unique and entertaining affair was given on April 29 at the ,lefferson tlub, in West Berry Street, for which the girls of the Senior class were hos- tesses. The affair was given complimen- tary to the cast of the Senior play and ltr the yfzung men of the Senior class. The novelty feature of the evening was a mock wedding in which Hob Richey was the groom, Charlotte lVlahurin the bride and Stew llulse the officiating offi- cer. The wedding was novel and well worked out. .Xfter the knot was tied the ball- room was cleared and Paul Hahn's or- chestra struck up a popular tune and immediately everyone was gaily dancing around the fioor. At a late hour delicious refreshments were served to the guests. Miss Helen Xllillson was chairman of the entertainment committee and she was ably assisted by Miss Catherine Dan- necker, Miss lilizabeth XVeiss, Miss Helen Lowry, Miss Dolly Gest, Miss lfloy lletrick, Miss Dorothy 'Wolf and Miss Charlotte Mahurin. ic? The Student Players, a very popular organization, was organized shortly af- ter the arrival of Miss Suter. lt has done splendid work and has also had many a good time. During the Wlinter informal gatherings were held at the homes of the members and these affairs are thought of with much pleasure. In December, Miss Phyllis Bales was hos- tess for the members, and a most en- tJKLiRi6Tig?'.fieHivAlL?l joyable evening was spent. Music, games and dancing were enjoyed equal- ly as well as the refreshments. Miss Elizabeth Urbahns was February hos- tess for the group, and here another good time was in store for the guests who danced and sang and played and feasted. The last social meeting was the one for which Robert Koerber was host, at his home on Forest Park Boule- vard. They tell me that the refresh- ments were delicious and everycne re- grets that they were not served first and last instead of only at the conclu- sion. Miss Suter has proved herself to be an ideal chaperone as well as coach. La Robe A. Porter, Mademoiselle QGladys V. Lyndmanj Long after the passing of a pretty or even a beautiful girl, the memory of her general appearance rather than that of her features remains in the mind of the bystander. Many truly beautiful girls ruin their appearance by inappropriate dressing. The turn of a collar, the Hare of a ruffle or the line of the hem are lit- tle things that go to create an attractive- ly dressed girl. Many young girls of today mistake the meaning of attractive- ness, feeling that garments of an ex- treme and often freakish design draw the most attention. '2'Xttractiveness in dress depends not on extreme style, color or material, but upon the appropriateness and individu- ality. The girl who wishes to be at- tractively dressed must take into con- sideration her type, coloring and stature. A dress which on one girl appears to be in perfect accord with her personality, on another girl will be dominated by her most prominent characteristic and the harmony of the entire picture will be ruined. For Fall and lYinter-serge, jersey or trieotine are most serviceable for school or street clothes. Simple in cut and de- sign-the keynote of individuality may be struck by an odd bit of embroidery or the chic placement of a buckle or a bit of ribbon. For evening affairs- which in the XYinter are usually formal -velvet, satin, taffeta and the metallic materials are in evidence. Almost any colcr is permissable, but the smartest of gowns for high school girls come in the pastel shades-with the possible ex- ception of black, which should be worn only by a decided brunette or an ash- blonde. lior Spring, linen and gingham and later, voile or unstarched organdy made in simple and girlish fashions may be made to possess that different look by the use of contrasting materials or colors. l'or the lzaster dances and gradua- tion festivities, a girl may delight her lic-art in the choosing of the Hutitiest. ruf- tliest little fairy gown that evtr found its way down from the clouds. Clrgandy. chiffon, satin and georgette in all the soft colors of the rainbow lend them- selves to milady's dress for the junior Prom or Commencement Dance. Little lace or ostrich-edged bouquets of or- gandy or silk flowers. rutfles and tucks serve as trimming. The subject of dressing onels self be- comingly is absorbing and difficult, but the result will justify the effort. The gift of perfect taste in clothes is born to a few. but for the most part it must be cultivated.

ALDRQIL QNHUAI, 0 A proper sport costume was in evi- dence last fall, being worn by a popular Miss of ZZ, Sophia lrmscher. Sophia, a demure brunette with deep blue eyes, wisely chose a sweater and skirt of a similar blue with a chic little knitted hat that topped off her pretty brown curls. io, School days mean days of hard study and the time when a school girl should wear pretty but sensible clothes. We will use julia Bash as an example of a properly dressed school girl. A tailored blue serge prettily embroidered in blue, rose and old gold was becoming to her slight stature and was one of the pret- tiest of her winter wardrobe. W'hen snowflakes were falling and everyone was just a wee bit cold, liegine Klinske could be seen tripping her way to school attired in a grey suede sport's coat trimmed with racoon fur and com- pleted by accessories consisting of wool- en bose and low-heeled oxfords. To this tableau charwzatzzt a bright red tam was worn to protect a woman's crowning glory, which in Regine's case is a lovely riot of black bobbed hair. lol. This last lVinter's season was particu- larly lively, affording many informal af- fairs where school girls were almost al- ways present. Charlotte Mahurin, whose hair si blonde, and complexion si clair, require a certain vividness of color was especially brought out in a lovely informal gown of electric blue taffeta combined with black and trimmed with several bright colored chiffon flowers. ,-0-. Helen Eward heralded the coming of Spring in a dark henna suit, the coat of which was made in the ever popular box style, and with which she wore stiff white Buster Brown collar and cuffs. Her hat of navy blue straw with a small rolling brim of emerald green straw, her brown oxfords and hose completed a picture of almost boyish nonchalance. Toi Dorothy Rose VVolf, who always re- minds us of a pretty wild rose, was the object of many admiring eyes at some of the Winter's formal affairs. Doro- thyls dress was fashioned of deep rose- colored taffeta, the skirt of which was made in harem effect, emphasizing the daintiness of her gold slippers and hosiery. The white iridescent beads in which the front panel of the skirt and the bodice were embroidered helped the costume present an admirably youthful effect. -E Prlyff' Our Hunrlrrvl Twenty ff --7 XL A 4 Qf' 4:4 It ,ll K 53 YQ. fe' .ax is -Q I l gt k . at l x Q9 P fb I Q 'M wif , 3 C 2:1 ' CWM I EEE f H f Page Om' Ilumlrml TJ -O ifh veill Doggy RVYUNDAV 5 L Z7 Our pretty girls are all this year's graduates, happy and energetic young women who have studiously worked for four years to accomplish that one thing that means so much.

Miss Dorothy Rose Wolf is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam W'olf, of West Berry street. Dorothy is the only child and people have always said that when there is an old child he or she is sure to be seliish and spoiled. Dorothy has certainly foiled the folks who believe this foolish assumption, for she is a sweet example of all that is generous and accommodating. She has considerable talent along dramatic lines and all her friends feel certain that she has quite a career in store for her. Last but certainly not least comes a popular favorite, Miss Julia Calhoun, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Calhoun, of VVest.Rudisill boulevard. Julia has a smile for everyone and always has much interesting news to relate to her friends. She is also an enthusiastic member of the younger social set. lvlyfv Our' Ilflurlrrvf Tlrcnfff-'l 1l'o A'-il5Ri5f'i 3iii'UAiQl The Organizations of the Fort Wayne High School ....i .1 1 The Frienclship Club r-'1 2 - he Hi-Y Club 3 The Sorosis Literary Society 4 The Platonian Literary Society 5 The Mathematics Club 6 The Student Players, Club 7 The Junior Hi-Y Club 8 The Letter Club H 1 Friendship Club Officers Arletta Schmuck ............ .....,..,.................

Judging by the present membership of the club, it seems to have retained that ambition throughout the five years of its existence. The club is not only the largest organization in the Fort Wayne High School, but is distinguished even more for its quality than for its large membership. This is shown by the man- ner in which the members of the club not only undertake, but carry out the various activities. Both in work and in recreation the greatest enthusiasm is shown, and besides having this aforesaid pep,,' the club was favored with the competency and encouragement of Miss VVingert to give the cabinet its suc- cessful start. The able program committee was aided by Miss Harrah, while Miss Gardner helped with the finance. The laurels of the membership commit- tee came as the result of the faithfulness of its new advisor, Miss Demaree. Miss Lipkey looked over the Service lrVork, which Miss Baughman, before her resignation, began so well, while Miss Mcliinnie helped carry out the social enterprises of the club. The outstanding features of the year 1920-1921 were: The County Fairf' at which each of the .Friendship Club members, having been transformed into a country maiden, had with her her rustic swain. All the amusements essential to a successful County Fan were enjoyedg namely, free-for-all side-shows, booths of all kinds, numerous contests, and many games and old country dances. Then there was the annual Christmas 'Partv for the less fortunate children of the city for whom the Friendship Club girls dressed dolls and filled stockings to the brim. Also Mrs, Simminger, of the Grey lrlat Shop, supplied each of the small guests with a beautiful little hat. The children were brought to and from the Y. W. C. A. in automobiles furnished by different boys of the High School. The little girls played games in the gymnasium until jolly old Santa Claus ar- rived, who gave each little girl a doll and a stocking filled with candy. Then each club member present took a little girl and found a hat that satisfied her in size, color, and shape. ln Ianuary, in mid-years the club gave its ,Xnnual Banquet at the Y. NV. C. A. liach class had its separate yells and songs and each class tried to out-do the others, but the Freshman Class surpassed all in originality. Toasts were given by various girls concerning certain details in the progress of the club. Hazel Schele described the foundation of the club. Mary Louise Voorhees told of the windows of the club by which other people may see what we are doing. Ruth NVagner described the protections of the club which were called the roof, and Helen Wlooding told us to keep our hearth-tire burn- ing within the house to welcome any newcomer into the club. Arletta Schmuck. the president, was hostess of the club house. The Faculty Frolic was another joy never to be forgotten. To see our august instructors performing the antics which they did is a sight long to be remembered. One of the things which was booked for that afternoonls program was an old-time spelling match. Uf course, it should be true that our teachers should spell admirably, but it has been whispered about that the side which had more girls and fewer instructors won the contest. The Annual Hi-Y Party was given in the gymnasium of the Y. VV. C. A. on March 12, and as it was near St. Patricks Day, each of the club members. as well as the boy guests, were attired as daughters and sons of old P0170 One Hunrlred Tu-mrfyf-F1'v'6 gay' af,-V :le 0 .irq T ,pass N, A.Ln,gog QNNUALT YJ Erin. The old gymnasium never saw or heard such enthusiasm as it did that evening. And so much fun did they have at the party, that to inform the guests that the time for leaving had long gone, this song in the form of a broad hint was sung: Now run along home and jump into bed. Say your prayers and cover your head. This very same thing I say unto you, You dream of me and I'll dream of you. Besides having all these enjoyable affairs, the club has had teas on Wed- nesdays and hikes on Fridays, which were both highly successful and all the more so because they were under the auspices of Miss Simond. the new Girls, Work Secretary of the Y. XV. C. A. Also among the annual affairs was the Alumni meeting which was a happy reunion of all the former club members and the younger girls. Besides this was the Senior meeting. at which the Seniors, for once, held full sway. At the annual picnic at Foster Park, the newly elected and competent officers were installed. The Service Committee, with Dorothy Ciarmire and later Clara Troeger as chairman, surely never so deserved its name as it did this year. The members of the committee supervised the f'Movie Benefit which was very successful and a real epoch in community affairs. The committee co-operated with all the grade schools and, of course. a great number of tickets were sold to the Fort Wayne High School students. The fact that the moving picture was Charles Ray play- ing in the Old Swimmin' Hole, by james VVhitcomb Riley, also helped to make this benefit a huge success. The committee also made a large number of arm bands of the school colors and sold them to the students just before the Decatur football game and there was such a demand for these that every club member both in and out of the Service Committee was very, very busy to meet this large demand, but finally it was satisfied and the result of this was a com- fortable sum. Wlith this and the money made from the movie benefit, the club will send a large number of delegates to the conference for all the girls of the central field at Dewey Lake. The Friendship Club was organized with a three-fold purpose in view: 1. To create a friendly spirit among the High School girlsg 2. To encourage habits of helpfulnessg 3. To develop growth in Christian character. Never once has the club lost sight of this purpose and for the sake of the club in the future, the members will not be without this purpose in view. To say that the Friendship Club has been successful this year is to say the least. Besides the above mentioned officers, success of leadership is due to Arletta Schmuck. president: Hertha Stein, vice-president: Martha Grosvenor, secre- tary: Kathryn XYillson, treasurer: Helen XYooding, chairman of the Program Committee: Elizabeth Hadley, chairman of the Membership Committeeg and Mabel Fry, chairman of the Social Committee. l'r1yfr' Our' ll1111fIfr':I 'l'frr'11f11-.R'f.r V145-it '2,..s'-fi-3 - Qgie HB 7fli-. omg,-, a .M so D AI-DROIQQ QNHUALQ LJ x..Jv PLATWA N urrnimrsocmy platonian Officers September-February Tenn Dwight Shirey ....,.....................,..........,................

Porterfieldj liveryone who has the least interest in the affairs of our High School out- side of just coming and reciting his lesson, or those who have and appreciate the meaning of school spirit, know, or should know, what the Platonian Literary So- ciety is, and for what it stands. However, in order that the full strength and character of the organization may come into the view of all the High School students and all outsiders who have an interest in the activities of our school, I shall relate the history of the society. The l'latonian Literary Society'was founded in September, nineteen hun- drtd and sixteen, for the purpose of improving the members in public speak- ing, in debating and in parliamentary law, all of which are of great importance, in one way or another, to the boy in lligh School and to the man that he be- comes in later years. The meetings of the organization are held every two weeks under the super- vision of the president and the faculty advisor. The spirit and interest which was so greatly manifest in the first year of the society, has never ceased, and during the past year or two the interest has been aroused to a great degree by the social activities, which have been resumed after their absence during the war. The two most important social events are: the animal Platonian banquet for the members, and the annual Plat-Sorosis party, at which time the lllatonians entertain the Sorosis Literary Society. The success of the Platonian Literary Society, for the past year, is due for the most part to the fine work and ability of its officers, and to the interest taken in the activities by the members. lt may be added that Mr. Shirey's term of office was taken up chiefly with public speaking and debating, the subjects for which were presented in the form of bills or documents, such as those presented in the legislation of the government. During this last semester. however, Mr. Thomas has been making more or less of a study of parliamentary law. In conclusion, l shall quote Roosevelt on a subject which, although it has nothing to do with the society by way of a written purpose or a constitutional clause, expresses the feelings of each member of the organization as he sits in the meetings and endeavors to get something out of them which will be of some benefit to him in his later life: We of America-we, the sons of a nation yet in the pride of its lusty youth -spurn the teachings of distrust, spurn the creed of failure and despair. We know that the future is ours if we have in us the manhood to grasp it, and we have entered a new century with our bodies girded for the contest before us, rejoicing in the struggle, and resolute so as to bear ourselves that the nation's future shall even surpass her glorious pastf, It is our sincere hope that the Platonian Literary Society is developing such men as Roosevelt describes. If it is, its existence has not been in vain. Here's luck to its prosperitv and success in 1922 and ever after!

D ALDRQN QQNNU HQ tQAfDf1ifTfg aiti'i' vmygl The Sorosis Literary Society QBy Arletta Schmuckj To be intensely somethingu-that is what the Sorosis motto is and that is what the Sorosis members have succeeded in making their society this last year. The literary purpose of the organization has been well represented in the programs throughout the year. The birthday of Riley, the Hoosier poet, was observed by an original sonnet and pantomine in October, while an unusual feature for Better English Xlieekn was presented in October. A most appro- priate program was held in Thanksgiving, and guests were invited to the Christ- mas meeting when an original play was staged. In February, the white and green proved itself particularly patriotic in an exceptionally ine manner. The season of TQZO-21 has also been one of interesting social affairs. First there was the Sorosis-l'lat party held at the Hoffman Harbor Hall on November 23W-and any l'lat will tell you how altogether successful it was. The annual banquet, which was held at the home of Helen XTX ooding on January 26, was unusually interesting and enjoyable. The successful Senior farewell and the annual picnic need scarcely be mentioned. A great proportion of the success of the year's work was a result of put- ting each girl on some committee for a program, under the leadership of in- dividual girl chairmen. The chairmen of these committees were: Poetry-Mary Louise Voorhees. Novel-Elfrieda Pieper. Play-Beatrice Gerard. Pageant-Helen Pape. Original-Helen VVooding. Music-Hertha Stein. This plan proved a solution for individual interest and will, no doubt, be continued. But if Sorosis has accomplished a great deal for its members, that is not all'-for the whole student-body was concerned when this organization presented the school with a nne new Victrola and twenty-five dollars' worth of records at chapel on March 28. This was but another instance of the good of the club that aims to do things-and does.

Hi-Y Club The Hi-Y Club is now nearing the end of its second year of existence. Dur- ing this time it has accomplished many things which have helped to develop its main purpose, which is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The club has been a great success from the start and has been growing and becoming more active all the time. From the 99 charter members two years ago, the club has grown to 128 active members now. This increase shows that the club has, and can, supply the necessary interest needed in any successful or- ganization. The club meets every Wednesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. from 6 to 7:30. The meeting begins with a supper, followed by a short musical program. Then a talk by some prominent man or a discussion by the members of the club rs held. Some idea of the line talks we have can be realized when the topics and the speakers are mentioned: 'iSiberia, by C. Burton, Railroading, by F. V. McDonnell, and Value of Athletics, by Coach Strum. Besides these weekly meetings the Hi-Y Club has been successful in putting across several parties and banquets. Among these were the,Ladies' Night, Father and Son Banquet, Hallowe'en party, Mother and Son Banquet, and the Teachers' Dinner. The Ladies' Night, on March 26th, was especially successful. A line supper was served in the gayly decorated banquet room of the l'Y.', After sup- per Mr. Thomas, chairman of the social committee, took charge of the program. The musical part of the program consisted of a few selections by the Hi-Y or- chestra, followed by a solo by Gay Bowers, and one by Conway Honeck. Then Martha Hahn gave a number of very fine impersonations, Mr. Paulus, our local magician, demonstrated a number of mystifying tricks. After this. games were played in the boys' lobby. The teachers, dinner was also a howling success. Mr. Byron Somers was toastmaster and filled his post in a very fine manner. The rhymee The time has come, the Vlfalrus said, To talk of many things. Cf shoes and ships and sealing wax, Of cabbages and Kings, furnished the subject for talks. Miss Wlingert gave the first talk on Shoesf' Mr. Knight then orated on Sealing Wlaxl' and its uses, the main one being to fasten wigs on corpses. Bob Richey had a fine talk prepared on Cabbages, but upon seeing Miss Kolb and Miss lylcliinney staring at him he forgot most of it. Mr, Ward had the stately subject of 'KKings,' and treated it in the same manner. Since the teachers? banquet was such a success we are sure to repeat it every year. Hola! Wife must not forget the Hi'Y orchestra. For two years they have worked like trojans and are sure gaining a reputation. The orchestra now con- sists of Xlfalter Moellering, Conway Honeck, Gay Bowers, Herb Rieke, Earl Gardner, Norman Perrine and Paul Hahn. During the last year they have played for Hamilton Lake, community work, basketball games, Kiwanis Club, Employed Boys, Railroad Y, Hoop-La, Sorosis Party, and Spotlight Vaudeville. The club was also able to secue the lllabash College Glee Club as a fine standard of entertainment for the High School students. The Glee Club Wag Page One Illmflrwl 7'l1frlf1-7'1m ly Y' is f?.iQalTfQTi HB Z a.

During the last year the club organized a swimming team which partici- pated in several aquatic events. It won the county meet New Year's, and at the same time won a victory over the T. Q. Pfs. Later it swam against the champions of the U. S., but was vanquished. Another meet with the T. O. Pfs will soon be staged. Under the auspices of the club, H. XV. Gibson, of Boston, spoke to the boys of the F. NN. H. S. on the three Mis, Muscle, Mind and Morals. He urged that every boy develop his body, his brain, and his character to the greatest possible extent, and in this way be a benefit to both himself and to his community. The auditorium was well filled for such a meeting and the boys enjoyed his talk immensely. On September 18, 1920, the club held a setting-up conference at Lake George, accompanied by Mr. Croninger, Mr. Scott, Mr. Brunson, and Mr. Adams. At this conference the plans for the ensuing year were made. Everyone sure had a great deal of fun and they did everything, from marooning on the other side of the lake, to trying to be scared while going through a haunted house. All in all, the conference was a great success. All these wonderful activities have been brought about by the help and sug- gestions of our Advisory Committee. I am sure that all the club members wish to express their thanks to these men for their great help. The members of this committee are Mr. Brunson, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Croninger. XVe are very sorry to lose Mr. Scott, who left his position at the High School this year and has gone with the VVayne Knitting Mills. Well, after such a successful year, don't weaken. livery old member must come back next year with the old-time pep and set the club agoing at a liveher pace than ever. 7 So long 'till next September!

The Mathematics Club Our Math Club has passed through another very successful year of lively good times. The leader of this noted organization for the first semester of this school year was Norman Hadley and his able assistant was the dainty little miss who is called Hertha Stein. Now, our president is that well-known Senior who always wears a smile, name- ly, Harold Pape. During the past year there were some extremely interesting talks given! Mr. Clordy gave us some of the relations be- tween mathematics and chemistry. Miss Gardner entertained us with an account of the origin of our so-called Arabic numerals and Mr. Hull told us some astonishing facts in regard to the use of the wireless telegraph and telephone. This year the club took part in the morning chapel exercises. At this im- portant event, Mildred Fruechte called in the spirits of the dead to prove that 2 : I, and Mr. Stroebel directed a Ma- thematical Chorus, which proved to be the hit of the day. At the last meeting of the fall semes- ter, several of the IOB honor students. selected by their mathematics teachers, were the guests of honor at the Math Club. Wie would not like to have anyone think that this club is all lectures and no fun. The purpose of the club is that we become better acquainted with our fellow students and teachers as well as to gain a greater interest in mathematics. Indeed, we spend the greater part of the evening in playing games. There is always an entertainment committee whose duty it is to find the most inter- esting games and contests. Then, too. there is always The Picnic, which we can hardly wait for, and the reception for the Seniors who belong to the club. R. P., '2l.

In spite of its being only in the second year of its existence, it has establi: led itself as a permanent, as well as a ncvst valuable school organiza- tion. This year began with the presentation of the play, 'fTwo Crooks and a Lady,', in November. It augured well for fu- ture dramatic productions in the school. The cast consisted of Elizabeth Urbahns, Charlotte Mahurin, Joe Folsom, Vtfalter Paulison, Phyllis Bales and Glenn Cun- nison. In February, the memorable play Neighbors,' was given. The cast included Sophia Irmscher, Elizabeth Urbahns, Ruth Goldberger, Harold Pape, joe Folsom, Dorothy johnson. Helen Wooding and Beatrice Gerard. Dwight Shirey acted as stage manager. This was such a decided success that the College Club requested the organization to present it in connection with two other plays which they were presenting the same month. At this performance it was received quite as well as at its initial appearance. In the late spring. The Florist Shop was given. It was a play which will linger in the memory of those who saw it, and one which pre- served well the standards of the club's productions. Tn the last year the club's membership has increased to forty-forty who were members in work as well as in name. Indeed, so interested were the students that at the very first of the year meet- ings were held every two weeks instead of once a month as heretofore. But even that did not satisfy the interest and en- thusiasm of the boys and girls, so in December the social meetings began to be held at the homes of the various mem- bers. Phyllis Bales had the first. Suc- cess? Indeed, they were, for in addi- tionto having a good time, the members became better acquainted, until now every student in the organization knows every other one well. And so it is that the Student Players' Club pin-which is another result of this year's interest- represents an organization which is one of hue comradeship as well as one of successful dramatic art-thanks to our coach and advisor, Miss Marjorie Suter. The officers of the club are: Donald Thomas, president: Phyllis Bales, vice- presidentg Arletta Schmuck, secretary- treasurer. fXYith the exception of the vice-president, who was Vilalter Pauli- son, the same odicers served during the fall seniesterj Here are the Members-You Know Them?

The initials H. B. E. stood for 'fHard Boiled Eggs. The club was started by a group of Freshmen under the direction of Mr. Brunson, the Boyls Wiork Secre- tary of the Y. M. C. A. This club had twenty charter members. It was at first composed of only 9 Als, but later all Freshmen were included. The officers elected were: President, iloward iN'lontgomeryg vice-president, Robert Keegan: secretary. Paul Agnew, and treasurer, Harold McMillen. C A year later, it was decided to reor- ganize this club, calling it the junior Ili-Y. This was one of the First of its kind in the United States. The activi- ties are similar to those of the Senior lli-Y. There are forty-live members en- rolled, consisting of 9B's, 9A's and lOB's. Under the direction of Mr. Yeal, the Association Boys' XYork Secretary of the Y. lXl. C. A.. the success of the club was assured. lllr. Voorhees was chosen as our faculty advisor. Robert Dreisbach was elected presis deng Harold MclNlillen, vice-presidentl Max lrlavens, secretaryg Robert Bite- inan, treasurer. The meetings are held on Friday eve- ning at the Y. M. C.

Consequently at the close of the football season last fall all the players who had won a letter in that sport organized together under the name of the Fort VYayne High School Letter Club. The club in its infancy consisted of thirteen members, and at the time of this writing has grown to a membership of twenty. The organization has for its express purpose the raising of athletics to a higher standard and to promote a feeling among the student body that will be conducive to the various activities entered into by the athletic teams of the school. It was through the efforts of the Letter Club that the presentation of Hoop-Lau was made possible and the high degree of success that awaited it. The club has been an excellent means of creating a desire within the many students who enter athletics to do their utmost to win a place in the organization. It has come to be looked upon as an honor to belong to an organization of the calibre into which the Letter Club has developed. and after a few years of existence it should become a club of no mean respects in comparison with the other organ- izations of the school.

Debating At the beginning of the year, the prospects for the two debating teams we wished to have were not very encouraging, Only two members of the squad had had any experience in interscholastic contests. All other members were just beginning their debating work. But lights appeared from time to time, and our hopes and efforts were finally rewarded by the possession of two teams that won by a unanimous vote the triangular debate staged by Richmond, Muncie and Fort Wayne. The members of the team were John Crane. Harold Uyer, Clarence Ferris and XValter Paulison. Pane Onc Hunflrml l rn'I1f-Ont at V ww? ,mv , Three of a. kind ge gin? A mal gang: H16- gifli .Al ' 4 Some.

Treasurer V Athletic Association Sport activities, as conducted by the Athletic Association during the year of 1921 were clearly the outstanding feature of the entire school year. The asso- 9 Ciation, which has been in existence only a few years, has been a means of de- veloping Fort VVayne High School teams from a tottering and unstable basis to a plane in which they have gained recognition throughout the state as fornnd able organizationsthat are to be reckoned with all due respect. Not only has the association been instrumental in raising the calibre of the teams, but through it a degree of a school spirit has been manifested, that ' t to be e ualed by any body of students in former years. All contests have IS no q 1 i been attended by an average attendance of from five to six hundred students, and 'in times standing room was at a premium, a condition that was a rarity in mf y ' years past This spirit is further demonstrated in the fact that membership in the association has advanced from four hundred last year to seven hundred this year. h Mr. CI'OlliIl0'C1', as president, and Mr. Northup as secretary-treasurer, are U Q u 1 to be congratulated for their services in the creating of such a truly wonderful Orgfmimtioii as the Fort VVayne High School Athletic Association has proved itself to be. Page One Humlred Fifty-One Miss Heighway Mr. Strurn Coach Strum and Miss Heighway: any attempt to convey in writing what these two individuals have done for Fort Wlayne High in the furtherance of its athletic program can but fall short of its mark and fail in the endeavor. For to understand the accomplishments of these two, one must have lived through the entire school year, taken some part in the events-even if only as a specta- tor-and have watched the actual prog- ress of the teams as they gained a state of perfection that made their playing the most respected of any team in the north- eastern part of the state. Coach Strum, a veteran of the VVorld NVar in which he served as Captain of Infantry, came to the school highly recommended as a coach of athletics in the schools of North Dakota and Wis- consin. He has a knack of originating ideas and of putting them over, a fact which has gained him the support of every sport-loving fan in the school. As soon as he took the helm last fall, sports began to assume their proper place in the life of the school, a situation which they had long neglected to hold because of a disinterested spirit on the part of everybody in general. It was through Coach Strum's efforts in the early days of the year that the football men were supplied with suitable togs and equip- ment. This proved to be the first time Payfe Our' flIl1lIfI'f'1l l iff1f-'l'1rn CO8CiIGS Lll' that our football players had ever been thus supplied, for in the past they had always furnished their own outfits. And so proved to be the situation through- out the entire year. Everything that had in it the tendency for the creating of better athletics, received the support of Coach Strum. All considered, Fort Wayne High has in Coach Strum a jewel who has made good consistently, and his rise in the coaching game will be looked for- ward to by all who had occasion to gain his friendship during the year. It is with a feeling of incapability that one attempts to relate the value that Miss Maurine Heighway has meant to Fort Wfayne High this year, as coach of the girls, athletics. Miss Heighway entered the school last fall, and took up a work that had never been established in the school: she organized girls, gym classes, and soon the entire school was talking of the soirit that she was instill- ing into 'the girls. The girls immedi- ately became her staunch backers and were ready at any time to help her in any way. Miss Heighway has won her way into the hearts of every Fort NVayne High student by her charming and pleasing personality and will long be remembered by those who came to know her. gg W4 142' HB 'J' -21-1-7 0' QQALDR0 13, 9 H UATQQ PQQTBALL ourz STAR SQUAD r 7 ' 'A ' - 'A A -4-- ' Al F- X' . 0 ALDR01 QNHUAE Q Q 2 and-.'L.s 'H1.a,f.

H og Gridiron Activities Conditions that had to be faced last fall in an effort to turn out a football squad were such that would have forced any ordinary man to throw up his hands in dispair. Disheartening situations turned up at every angle: A ma- jority of the best football material in the- school was ineligible because of low grades, those that were eligible were without equipment suitable for strenuous work, last, but not least, was the fact that a strong schedule had been formu- lated and had to be played. But Coach Strum arrived on the scene, and things began to take on a different color. His first act was to induce the School Board to furnish the squad with football outfits. These togs were soon secured and dis- tributed among the players. Then began a siege of practice that continued with unabatemcnt until, the first game. A number of lads were new to the game and had never before taken part in a football contest. But for weeks before the game, this green material was put through a series of practices that hardened them for the worst kind of engagements. Daily they hurled themselves at the tackling dummy that was installed in the park next to the school, going home each evening dead to the world but happy in the thought that they were ac- complishing something for their school. Had these lads not had a morale of the deepest grain, they would have broken and rebelled under the tutelage of their coach. But they all stuck, and when the time came for the first game, they were trained to a unit of the best order. T Filled with a spirit that was infectious and rapidly spread throughout the entire school, the team and its supporters turned out for that first game. That day, speed and knowledge faced brawn and strength. The Decatur lads were of an unusual large size, outweighing our team ten pounds to the man, but the training that the Blue and VVhite squad had been put through told in the long run anil Fort VVayne High won its first football game of the season. And so proved to be the case throughout the entire schedule. Qnly one time were our lads forced to bow in defeat, the VVarsaw eleven accomplishing the feat. Fort Vifayne High has ample reason to be proud of its football team of 1921, and it will stand as a mark to be equaled by teams for years to come. The 1921 football schedule and results follow: F.

The players themselves declare that the cheering from the sidelines gives them doubled strength when they are pushing the ball through every resistance. It is the following that never accepts a defeat until the last whistle has blown that makes teams of the same quality. The men of the bleachers do not have the honor of fighting for their school in the same way as those on the field, but they feel as deeply and do as much in their power to gain the same end. Students of Fort VVayne High stood back of their teams this year in an un- questionable manner. Hundreds turned out for the football games in the fall and made an inspiring sight bedecked in Blue and Xlfhite, singing and cheering the songs and yells of old Fort W'ayne High. An estimated attendance of two thou sand five hundred students attended the football games, while an attendance total ing six thousand was present at the basketball contests. lt would do well for the students to remember the remark made by the cap- tain of the football squad when he left the field at the close of one of last fall's engagements, It wasn't the team that won the day, it was the crowd in the bleachersf' The above picture was snapped at the Fort Xllayne-Decatur game at League Park.

The lads that wore the Blue and NVhite during the season of 1921, composed a squad that was more than exceptionally good. They made a record that is seldom equaled by a high school team and one that was never approached by a former Blue and XVhite five. Winiiing 14 out of 18 games, they fought hard through a season that proved to be outstanding in the annals of Fort Wayne High basketball teams, and one that will be a goal for other teams to strive to attain in the coming years. Coach Strum had, as a nucleus around which to form the team, three men remaining from the 1920 squad-VVilson, Morse and Adams. They had displayed a good brand of ball and upon them the fortunes of the team really depended. VVelch, a newcomer to the school, and Posscll, playing his first year of basketball, rapidly worked into the remaining places on the five, and when the time for the first game rolled around were playing like veterans. The first game of the season proved a stumbling block for Fort XYayne High's hopes, as the Bippus team forced them into defeat by the score of 25 to 22. The squad staged a great comeback during the next five weeks, winning five games in a row-South Wlhitley, Decatur, C. C. H. and Pennville all falling before the attack of the Blue and XVhite. VVabash, State football champs, turned the tables in a game played before the largest crowd of the season. The game was hotly contested throughout, and was won in the last minute of play, the score being tied practically the entire way, when VVabash caged a free throw ending the game, 22 to 21. Following this game, a string of eight more victories ensued over liippus, .Xuburn, South XYhit- ley, Huntington, Kendallville, Decatur, C. C. H. S., and XYabash. l'laying a re- turn game at Kenclallville, our lads were defeated in a loosely played contest. Buffton also secured a win towards the end of the season. DISTRICT TK DU RNAN ENT Basketball at Fort Wayne was terminated by the holding of the District Tournament in this city, the first time that the event had ever been staged in Fort Wfayne. lt was mainly through the efforts of Coach Strum that the State ,Nth- letic Association was persuaded to name Fort VVayne as the site for the tourna- ment. He wrote to the association and put the proposition before them. giving all the advantages that the city had to offer in the way of facilities for playing the games and housing the visiting teams. Sixteen teams comprising the district played off the tournament at the Con- cordia Gymnasium in one of the most spectacular scholastic events ever held in the city of Fort NVayne. The event as a whole was a distinct success and re- flects great credit upon those responsible for its successful termination. ln com- menting upon the meet. the referees, coaches of the various teams. and officials in charge declared it to be the best regulated tournament that they had ever participated in, and all were loud in their praises of the reception accorded the visitors.

ALDTROIL SANNUALJ XXf'hile Kendallville won the meet as a result of their victory over Wolf Lake in the final game of the series, the game that Fort XNayne High will remember as the outstanding feature was the contest held Saturday afternoon CMarch SX be- tween Fort XX'ayne and. Kendallville. It was clearly an outstanding feature, as it was generally considered that the winner of this contest would prove the final victor. That the students of Fort X7Vayne High were back of their team to a man. was clearly evinced by the hundreds that frled into the stand and made standing room at a premium. The Blue and XXf'hite played neck and neck with its opponents during the first few minutes of the contest, but gradually dropped behind, and it was soon evit- able that Fort XVayne High was going down to defeat in the greatest game of the year. And so proved to be the case, the final score being 26 to 12. The result of the game was hard to accept and tears flowed freely as the de- feat became a certainty. Students who had followed the fortunes of the team as it won game after game in the most successful year of the school's history, were nonplussed at this striking blow-they were at a loss as to how to account for it. But Fort VVayne High is proud of its basketball team of the season of 1921. It accomplished things that will live long in the memories of those who followed its progress through the season and who learned to love it. Team of Io2I, you played the game, you established a record that has never been equalecl.

Captain YVilson played his third year as a member of the squad and directed his 1nen from the position of center in an .admirable style. Bob's rangy build proved invaluable to him on receiving the tap off and covering the Iioor. His accurate shooting at long range and his uncanny ability at caging free throws won him a wide reputation throughout the district. A jinx folowed him throughout the year, sickness and a sprained wrist necessita- ting: his missing a number of games, but he was always on dec-k at the crucial moments and proved high point maker of the team. Franc-is Morse. Morse's claim to fame as a basketball star on the squad can be ungrudgingly attributed to the fact that he stood out as the most con- sistent iigzhter and hardest worker on the team. Winning the love and respect of his teammates and student body for his desperate play. he stands out prominently as a lad who gave all he had to the good of the school. In fact he so impressed the judges at the district meet by his manner of playing that he won a position on the all-star district team. The team is losing a man at forward that will be hard to replace next year. The school liked you. Morse, may your fame outside of school equal that which you attained at Fort YVayne High.

Earl is another veteran of the squad that the school is bidding good-bye to this year and Whose loss will be keenly felt. As running guard, Earl worked in every game of the sea- son and won a high respect from the fans for his all-round play at that position. His husky build and fearless manner enabled him to mix up in all the tangles and come out intact. Besides being Q reliable guard he was used for long distance shooting, an art in which he has come to be very adept.

Willie was unable to get into the game until the last semester because of his absence from school the previous year, but once in the game his presence was a necessity. Willie is a veteran at the caging game, possessing a high degree of ability as a shooter, Like Welch, his size is a handicap, but his knowl- edge of t'he game and his litheness overcomes this one shortcoming in such a manner that it is no hindrance to him.

Payfr' 0110 Hunrlrml Si.rfy-Eiylzt Along the Track Track activities were again resumed this year after lying dormant for over a year because of unfavorable conditions that made impossible the developing of a team. 1 ' However, track has once. again won its proper place in the sport field, and it is hoped that from now will never again be permitted to fall from grace. .Prospects for a winning combination were very much in the abstract at the beginning of the season, a situation which was further aggravated by a late spring during which time suitable practice days were few and far between. Nevertheless the team under the direction of Coach Strum worked out at every possible chance and gradually developed into condition. Enthused by the wonderful success that attended the holding of the basketball tournament in the city, Coach Strum made application for the district track tournament. His application was favorably acted uponby the State Athletic Association and Fort Wfayne for the second time within the vear was honored with the privilege of entertaining the athletes of the district at the track meet on May 14. The number of entries in the meet was the largest that ever entered in the district, with twelve teams competing. Not only were a number of schools entered, but some of the finest track men in the state were members of the teams that took part. Marks. of Wabasli, holder of several state records and with great possibilities of lowering several more, participated, as did his teammate, Butler. who starred we shotput and pole vaulting events. Early in the season it was generally accepted that Fort XVayne High would win or lose in the tournament on the manner in which Bob Richey performed. Bob was the only man on the team with any former experience whatever, as all the remaining members were new to the game and had never participated in a meet before. The day of the tournament arrived with a chilly atmosphere prevailing, but not to the extent of keeping away a large number of loyal supporters of the lllue and Wliite, and when the men lined up for the first event the lfort XYayne runner was greeted with a thunderous shout from his schoolmates who lined the track. First place in the meet went as predicted by those who had been following the sport throughout the spring to Wfabash. Wfabash proved an easy victor in the meet, winning 43 Ifg points out of a possible oo. The downstate squad forged ahead in the early moments and gradually widened the breach as the meet progressed, winning points in practically every event in which she had entered. , That which came as the outstanding surprise of the day was the showing made bv Fort Wayfiie, who won second place. The Blue and XVhite won a total of I5 points, all of which were made by Richey, captain of the team. Fort W3V1lC,S achievement came as a pleasant surprise to the many backers of the team, is it was the nrst track event that Fort NVayne had participated in since 1018. XfVhile Richey was the only member of the team winning points for the school, the showing of the remainder was such that with next years training under the tutelage of Coach Strum, Fort Wayiie has a splendid chance of winning track honors.

The candi- dates were greatly handicapped by inclement weather during the early weeks of the practice and it was with much difhculty that a formidable nine was organized for the initial contest at Auburn. However, as the day of the contest arrived the squad had developed a high degree of efficiency and experienced little difhculty in defeating the upstate lads by the score of 6-2. Possell performed in fine style on the mound for the Blue and Vffhite, hurling a no-hit game, and had it not been for several errors in the latter part of the contest he would have pitched that long sought for and rarely attained achievement-a no-hit, no-run game. Dceatur also bowed to the liort Wfayne nine on May 16 in a walk-away for the Blue and VVhite as they experienced little difficulty in running up a I6-3 score over their ancient rivals. Due to the fact that copy for the Caldron had to be turned in at an early date it will be impossible to relate here the outcome of the majority of the games played during the season. lt can be said, nevertheless, that never before was the team gifted with such an abundance of experienced and seasoned material as it has been this year, and that with the start exhibited at the fore part of the season. there is little to doubt that a high degree of success awaits the team. The squad at the time of this writing was made up of the following men: Possell, pitcherg VVelch, catcher: li.

So, speak up the opposite sex, why won't all work and no play make jill a dull girl? And so the basketball season was eagerly looked forward to. With the added enthusiasm caused by the arrival of Miss Heighway, athletic director, many plans were made for the 1921 sea- son. The girl enthusiasts were arranged ac- cording to their respective classes and each division met at the time assigned for practice. After several weeks of practice, the eighteen most promising players were selected as prospects for the varsity. These girls met every Tuesday and Thursday for practice. After these players had been pretty well coached to play together, two teams were picked to stage a preliminary at the opening game of the season which the boys had scheduled with Bippus. The next week a team was picked to meet the New Haven girls' team on De- cember 1Oth. The game proved a walk- away for our lassies Qas the daily pa- pers describe itj with the result 41-O. This victory gave us hope for at least a decent showing at our next encounter with our much feared rivals, the Deca- tur sextet. Although we did not hope for vic- tory, we wanted to retain our dignity for the coming season by coming off the floor with at least a score on our part. 1Ve were hoping against hope that their invincible forwards and that Herculean guard would be left behind, But we were to be disappointed, for every father's daughter presented herself with all the vigor and pep for which the team was famous. The game started with every player on her toes, ready for the chance to Page One Hzniflred Severity-Two avenge the defeat of the season before. The first half progressed favorably in our direction and our hope was begin- ning to revive. At the first sound of the gun we were congratulating Ourselves on the score 5-4 in our favor. But to our dismay, their center was changed to for- ward and proved the star of the team. She made nine points in the last half. The final score found us at the small end of the horn. VVe could boast of no more than nine points to their nineteen. Our next game was scheduled at Au- burn for the Sth of january. VVe hard- ly knew what to expect from that school, for we had not played any games with them for several years. Nevertheless, we worked up our best players-for which we were truly thankful. It seemed that the Auburn girls had conceived a wrong idea about guarding. At any rate, we had a hard time becom- ing accustomed to their circular guard- ing and their persistence in hanging on.', It was indeed a relief to see the end of the game with us in the lead 18-9. Our next encounter was staged at New Haven against their girls' team. Uur opponents had the advantage over us in their ability to dodge around the two large posts in the center of the floor. However, our fearless warriors rounded out the nice score of 29-10. Auburn returned a game with us on january 21st. This ,was an unusually slow game, but we won as usual with the score 18-10. .Pfeiffer starred in this game, making sixteen points of the eighteen. The time soon rolled around for us to meet the Kendallville aggregation, our rivals of long standing. We fully expected a heavy workout, for last sea- son we were beaten to the tune of 22-12. The sight of those two tricky little for- wards, no bigger than minutes Cbut be- x- . -Lf A - U ' e iaff- Hllffl'-. o,1iQ-Q,-.4 svn Q ,, ALDRONTL-it ANNUAL 1 ' us W. eff- e 1 so ,Q lieve in me, people, they made use of those minutesj dodging in and around their confused guards was vividly re- called to our minds. However, one pleasant thought was the feed they spread out before the starved, defeated teams. W'ell, even though we did beat them, 18-12, we had to work for it. Wfhenever those forwards got the ball, its natural proceeding was to roll right into the basket. But, thanks to our plucky guards and the teamwork of Brueckie and Katie, they didn't have much chance to show their accuracy. February 4th saw us on the way to Decatur with a large crowd of rooters. X-Ve knew that we didnlt stand a chance of defeating the state champions, but we decided that it is better tlike all heroesj to go down to utter defeat than to give up before the fray. This was the first game of the new semester and by the nine-semester rule, Mildred Pfeiffer, forward, and Helen Brueckner, center, were forced to quit playing after they had graduated. So, as a result, Gretchen Smith, sub-for- ward, La Yera Vail, sub-center, and Louise Brumbaugh, sub-guard, were run in as regulars. It was practically a new team that we were using to play one of the most important games on our sched- ule. However. the game did not lack ac- tion. The first half was close, resulting with the score 4-6 in their favor. The score at the end of the game was 20-IO. The chief scorers were L. But- ler for Decatur, with six field goals and several fouls. and Gretchen Smith, for Fort Wiayne, with eight points to her credit. February ll we met the Bippus team at St. Paul's gymnasium. Wie had never played with them before. but from what we had heard, we would not have a hard time defeating them. Our team was superior to theirs in every way as was proved by the score 29-l. The playing was only at Fort XVayne's basket. The ball never saw Bippus, bas- ket until a foul was called against us, which entitled them to a free throw. We resolved then and there. never to bemean ourselves by playing a team so inferior to us. CThat's what you call egotismj Our next game with Columbia City was the closest and hardest fought game of the year. February l8th, we traveled by rail to the fair city, above mentioned. At the station we were met by two of our opponents who accom- panied us to the school building. As it was several hours until the game should start, we stayed at the building and en- tertained ourselves. The Columbia City girls proved charming hostesses. The trysting place was above a store in which the proprietor himself lived. His family was afflicted with measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, etc., and had been quarantined up until that night when they had lifted it for us to play. Of course. we felt Hattered that such an honor should be extended to us, but they all seemed to take it in a matter- of-fact way, so we passed it over as a trivial affair. The game proved most interesting both for players and spectators. lt was close throughout. No points were made within the first ten minutes of play. .Xt the end of the first half the score was tied 4-4, with their guard out on tech- nicals. lt seemed that our fair oppo- nents had been reared with the concep- tion Umight makes right. They threw us, or rather attempted to, around the room with all the agility of profession- als. lVe came back at them with our perfectly clean playing just to show what ladies, we were. Our score was free from fouls, while they had tive to their discredit and then all of them were not called against them. After the battle was over we were served more food. The girls proved royal entertainers and true sports and we shall always remember them for it. tContinued on Page lfl0l P11170 OMC Hunrlwfl N1'rrnff1-Tln'r'1 if U l 1x Miss Heighway V5 x 1 fsee Page X525 2 , 5, ,yi l 3 x 1 9 , 1553 ya QQ V V Ilvlvn B1'1rrv-A'11r'1'. as czlptaill, held d0XYll the V' Ib0Slfl0ll of wlltel' uutil She was forced to leavv the Yflillll 1111011 ,!l'2lfll12lfl0ll in F9bl'l1fl1'Y.

Gretclien comes from Decatur, Indiana, with several years of practice on class teams and sub on the var- sity. She 'showed up well in every game the past season because of her speed and head- work. Although the team lost two forwards at the same time, Irmscher and Smith stepped in and worked up a system which could be counted on for good results. Gretchen is a Junior this year and much is counted on from her next season. 1 Sophia Nmsclzcr, forward, took her position when Velma Crawford left the team. Sophia held down her position as though it had been made for her. She was speedy and accurate with her shots and worked out some tricky little plays which left her guards bewildered. Although Sophia did not' have much chance to show her ability, coming in at the end of the season, she was certainly Hthere with the goods .

Girls, Sport Activities fcontiunecl From Page 1731 Our next battle was scheduled for February 25th at Kendallville. So we packed up and prepared to meet our foe for the second time, entirely uncon- scious of the fact that we should be so outrageously beaten. The out of bounds lines were con- fusing to us. If the ball should chance to roll out at one side into the crowd, it was simply a matter of the stronger man getting the ball. Hart, the plucky little three-footer, was the individual point-getter for Ken- dallville. making 16 out of 22. Gretchen Smith, our forward, rolled off the entire score of eight points. Hur last game was played at Clay Gymnasium with the Normal School team. livery girl was about three sizes larger, but we made their end of the score look pretty weak. The game ended with 21-3 as standing score. The following official record is be- ing given to prove that what has been said before is all true. If anyone should doubt the truth of these statements, ap- proach any member of the team and demand the exact facts of the case.

In fact so en- couraging that we decided to enter a new held of athletics. The 13th of April saw fifty Junior and Senior girls cavorting on the green at the side of the school building, giv- ing pleasure to a cheering masculine au- dience who, apparently had never seen the like of it before. A casual observer might wonder what it was all about. Upon closer inspection he might dis- cover a bat and a ball and conclude that it was baseball they were mimicking. Such it was. Since that time we have worked up a number of good baseball players under the supervision of Nliss Heighway. VVe selected class teams and several games were played. lf you haven't heard much about it so far. you will heal' of it and become interested in it yourself. .

The Sophomores won the championship of the inter-class tournament, win- ning four out of six engagements. They won the title by defeating the Fresh- men in the preliminary of the hnal game at the tournament. The Juniors put a strong team on the Hoor, but were unable to do better than win nity per cent of their contests. Lack ot accurate shooting material proved the downfall of the Senior squad which, while it put up a hne exhibition of team work, failed badly in caging the ball. The Freshman five was composed of a number of clever players, but were unable to work as a unit which resulted in their occupying the cellar position. On the whole, the class league was a decided success and reflects much credit upon those who managed it. Through the playing of the games, not only was it able to entertain the fans, but some likely material was developed for the varsity next year. The standing of the teams at the end of the season was as follows: VV I . ,. Ave. Sophomorcs ........ . ...... 4 2 .667 juniors . . . .... 3 3 .500 Seniors . . . .... 3 3 500' Freshmen . . . ....
