liiALrr6r,g, ..eifitvM-Q! and received our first diplomas, we thought we were in the eighth heaven of delight, but our wonderful ecstacies of delectation were sadly undermined when we entered the portals of the F. 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! Ptlgrf TIFGITPP

The old school was alive with spizerinctuni . The school spirit was something wonderful. It was a living, throbbing, contagious something which made the school quiver with loyalty and joy. Now you may well ask what caused the school to awaken from its Rip Yan XYinkle stage. The class of l2I's push, punch, and pepg paid coaches, and successful athletics answer this question.

Xlilef stones was a great play, admirably written and admirably acted. lt had a plot. and its success depended not on clever phrases but on clever acting. The coach is not to be forgotten either, for in Miss Suter the cast had an able and efficient director who knew what she wanted and how to get what she wanted. Mile- stones was a real dramatic effort and it set a standard which will be hard to maintain. 11' w it S Aside from settinff ' . g tl new standard in athletics, dramatics l' activities, the ,215 have also set a nex' Q ' has never be ' ' iterarv 'ind st w stand'11'd in l en appioach l l , 5 ucial . sc iolarshim Q ' 1 ' ec vy former 'l' ' uture classes ' ' 1, a standtid l L asses and o to ittain lih l . .' wiich .. . ne which will l 1 t . e 11321 cla .'.i has the rl' va edictorian, l' ' ' Th it dithcult for ss 1.

ZL?EfAf5R5f!.. geil'ifUAi Z Whipped Cream CHelen VVooding, ,215 y Mother is sick! Isn't that just aw- ful? And not a single thing prepared for my party, tomorrow night. 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
