To you, fellow stu- olents ofour hzgh school, we present this Coltumbinn, the result o j our e1??1rts this year. Although it is for from per feet we have tried to meet every phase of school life and to record the happenings of the yeor's work. Be to its virtues very kind and to its jhults zz little blind JN. Summary ofthe Present ear HTH from the interest manifested and the results obtained, the year of 1915-1916 will ever be recorded as one of the most interesting in the history of dear old U. U, H. S. llnder the capable principalship of Mr. Holloway the most rigid and wholesome discipline has been maintained through-out the entire year. With the departure of Mr. ltllwell at the beginning of the second semester, the science department was left vacant. This was filled by Mr. Morgan, and Mr. Tuttle took charge of the athletics. The new steam-heating system in which the oxy-acetylene torch has played such an important part., has proved a marvelous success. The welding of gas mains is being practiced to a great extent in this country. but this recorded to be one of the iirst instances in which oxy-acetylene has been used for steam piping, and the work is complete in every detail. The annual art exhibition included the exquisite paintings of such noted Indiana artists as Waymen, Adams. William lforsyth. and U. Steele. HThrough and Beyond. which hangs in the lower corridor ofthe VVest Ward building, was purchased for ninety dollars by the Parliamentary Club and school funds. This year cooking was inaugurated in the Domestic Science department. Our kitche11 equipment. is surpassed by only a few schools in the state. The great value of this course has been shown by the successful luneheons which have been served on various occasions. These were given under the efficient direction of Miss Spafford. Tn both the Senior and Junior societies, much interest has been devoted to debating. The interclass debate will be held April 27 and both teams are working hard. XN'e have well-organized Boys' and Girls' Glec Clubs, and they are doing fine work. Under the supervision of Professor lfllwell, an excellent orchestra was developed, and with his departure, the training was carried on by Miss Bushnell. Our annual high school play. The Brfsnis Bride, was held February 17-18. and met with marked success. This year Mr. E. L. Mchallen again offered twenty-tive dollars to be given as prizes for the four best orations given in the deelamation contest. Great enthusiasm was shown and the final contest held April 7, Jensen Hedegrade won first prizeg Ger- trude Schinbecklcr, secondg Clarence Feist, thirdg Eva Herrold, fourth. NOVQII' 1,4-f'm-a has S0 miigli been accomplished in athletics. Our basketball team played eighteen games and lost but four during the entire season. ln the district meet at Logansport, we were very successful in the fact that we defeated one of the best teams and although losing in the second game with Young America, we showed our ability as true sportsmen by playing a clean. honest game to the finish. A girls' athletic association has been organized and under the direction of Miss Dinkmeyer and Bliss Williams. the work has proved a marked success. We are looking forward to tl1e county track meet to be held April 29 with thrilling anticipation and clear confidence in our team. We are also expecting to meet Bluffton, Decatur. and Ft. Wayne. May 6, in a track meet at Ft. Wayne. ln the English department under Miss Williaing, the Seniors have been greatly interested in bimonthly programs. These have consisted of essays, readings, music and dramatizations. Scenes have been given from Silas Illurner, Jllnebeth, and Romeo am! Juliet. The Juniors have given scenes from The Tale of Tzro Uities, and Irlyls of the King: and the Sophomores drama- tized a part of the .'lIrrr-Imnf of Venice. The Shakespearean Tervcntenary has received especial attention by studying the lee- tures of the Imlepwmlcnt Magazine. The resignation of Mr. Sanders was a great shock to us all and it is with the deepest regret that we are forced to part with him. His friendly smile of greeting and fatherly advice will be sadly missed. He has alfways taken such intense interest in the welfare of every school member and his loss will be keenly felt by all.

Upon referring to the history of the Fresh- man class 'ot' ltllll, we find the following account: Worn and spent with eight years of strenuous work, the band at length reached the Freshman coast. New hope took possession of them and a new laml of promise opened up before them. So many diiiiculties came that several of the original fifty-nine perished and gave up hope. Many were lost in the mountain passes, but gradually those remaining became familiar with Freshman topography and not so many blunders were made. Although they were ridiculed by the wiser ones, probably the greatest ditliculty encountered was in combating with the new subjects. Pearson 's Outline of Latin aml Vos's Ifsseiitifils of German were perhaps the greatest foes. However, the austere and mighty teachers aided and reinforced them, until their conquest was finally completed. After one year of ceaseless ett'ort, their forces were replenished by the knowledge which had been gained and they pushed on to the territory known as the Sophomores'. By a persistent struggle much more knowledge was acquired. Here they encountered Alexander the Great, Augustus and many heroes of military fame. They fought the Gallic wars with the valiant Caesar. They entered the more peaceful district of literature and here made friends with Dickens, Coleridge, Lowell and Shakespeare. During this year the McLallen contest was begun, which brought to light the fact that the force contained several orators, among them Orpha Gandy and Edith Jackson, probably a future Cicero or a Demosthenes. During this year their troops were increased by people from neighboring territories. The new comrades were XV. B. Nichols, Everett Patty and Clara Colchin. At the end of this year of conquest, the faithful workers decided to have a rest in the campaign ami a celebration was held at Tri Lake. The greed ot former conquests grew upon them and then they pushed forward to attain the Junior territory. liurdcned with mighty trappings of warfare, and equipped with knowledge ot' past experience, they labored on. Many different tields of learning were entered upon. A few brave soldiers decided to devote a portion of their time to mighty Virgil, and with the aid of Miss Hallowell, great benefit from this study was derived. Under the excellent leadership of Miss NVilliams, great zeal was shown in capturing and taking possession of the treasures of literature. Their mimls became enriched with the sage sayings of Emerson and Franklin. Burroughs met them and introduced them in the science of birds and bees. They proved themselves stars in dramatization. Another enterprise, by which many laurels have been won, is debating. llere again they showed themselves capable ami etiicient. As a result of the careful training of Mr. Ihrig the final conquest-the Junior-Senior Debate- came out a tie. At the election of otlicers, which u'as held with all pomp and ceremony, Gail Lancaster was elected as captain and the emblem black and white, was chosen. A grand send-off-the Junior-Senior party-was given to the class of 1915. Now after all these toils ami hardships had been endured, they were all ready 'For the last glorious conquest-the Senior year. Surely after such a glorious career, no one would desert them. However, several did. Margaret Baker decided that better advantages were offered elsewhere. Ruth Morgan decided to embark in the ship of matrimony. Mary Faust was not content with the territory already conquered and decided to seek new fields of learning. Even Rena Sharp and Everett Patty fell by the wayside. But-to offset these losses of their band, six new members from lfltna ,joined them. They were Geo. Burns, Ernest Gerkin, Mark Terman, Elnora DeVine, Naomi Estlick and Marie Friskney. New teachers have assisted them in many ways. The Junior-Senior Debate was an excellent success. The English work this year has been very interesting. They have fought with the valiant Macbeth, ami waded through intricate passages of sublime Milton. Only two have been brave enough to combat with the learned orations of Cicero. Civics and American History have been very profitable to all. O11ly one relaxation from the struggle has been a celebration at W. ll. Nichols'. And indeed, despite these trials and privations of four years, it can be said that the class of 1916 is the best which has ever g'l'tttlllillt'4l from old U. C. H. S.

The passengers, fifty-eight in number, somewhat weary after the long voyage. were soon towed ashore. They immediately started in search of food and lodging. The first building they chanced upon was a large briek structure called U. U. ll. S. The loeation and the fare proved satisfactory, so they decided to stay there the following nine months. The first few weeks they suffered much humiliation from the hands of their superiors. To be sure it was quite natural that they should lose their way many times, but the hardest thing to bear was being called a l+'reshie. After their awe had somewhat worn off and they had overcome their bashfulness, they were able to send notes and eat lunches as well as those who claimed to be versed in such arts. They indulged in a hay-rack party where their superiors sought to taunt them by stealing their Heats. But despite such trials and tribulations, the nine months soon passed, and again, on a beautiful summer day, forty-six of them found themselves packing their trunks and bidding farewell to their friends who were content to remain in lf'reslnnandale. Aboard the good ship Vaeafion, they found themselves sailing with a fair wind towards the prosperous eity of Sophomore- ville. 'When they arrived, they went ashore and took rooms in a. building alike in every detail to that in l+'reshmandale. Dur- ing their stay, they spent an evening at a near-by sununer resort. While one of the party was entertaining a young lady on the pier, the rest. of them heard some screams and, turning to look in that direction, saw only a pair of heels and then heard a ker- splash, ker-splash. and knew the fate of their comrade. He was soon rescued and when ln-'again reached land, looked like a drowned rat. Ile soon procured dry clothing. however, and returned with the rest of' the party. The same young man, how- ever, proved himself more capable in the field of athletics on land fthan on seall by winning several honors in the Track llleet. ln their more quiet hours they produced some very powerful orators. two of whom received the first and third honors in the lleelamation Contest. When the end of the nine months came thirty-nine ot' them found themselves again aboard the Vara- iion, waving a last adieu to those on shore, as the ship steamed out ot' the harbor. They have at last reached that haven, not of rest, but of toil-Juniortown. They have become so thoroughly naturalized that to onlookers they do not seem travelers from a foreign port. They have taken a. great interest in their city and have elected officers to lead and advise them, not only in local affairs but also in their dealings with foreign countries. In order to arouse a little competition among themselves and to become better skilled in the art of argumentation they have organized a first-class debating soeiety of twenty members, three of whom have been chosen to represent them in the Junior-Senior debate. They have brought forth with much pride some star basketball players. Likewise, they have gained great renown in the field of music, for was not the prima donna in the high school playa Junior? Some of them are members of the fllee f'lubs and the Orchestra. lint still, although they have enjoyed their stay in Juniortown. they feel, like Vaesar. that there are even better lands to be conquered. And so it is that they are now looking forward to the time when they shall embark for the last time on the faithful old ship Vacation, whose last stop is Senior f'ity. flaRTm'im SeiiINm-iokllnn, 'l7.

VVhat a liar! , WALLACE W,x'r1H:1z1-xuii., 'l8. page thirty-eight olmson 's M usic- oat Last Clll'lSillltLS, Miss Johnson's admirer presented her with a handsome little music-box and the family has since enjoyed some of the latest songs. Wednesday night they had company and the little music-box, after playing two stanzas of 't1'n1 a Lonesome Melody, suddenly collapsed, and Miss Jolmson coaxed her father to take the box with him when he went to his place of business the next morning and have it repaired. She wraped it np neatly and placed it in his overcoat pocket. The next morning Mr. Johnson boarded a street car, nodded to several business acquaintances, and was just in the aet of opening the morning paper when the music-box suddenly found its voice and proceeded to render the remaining stanzas of Um a Lonesome Melody. The sleepy passengers dropped their t'eet to the tloor with a bump, staring at each other in amazement, and finally tracing the music to where Mr. Jolmson sat, they nudged one another and laughed. Stop that music! yelled the stern conductor from the rear platform, H 1 won 't have such foolishness in this car. t'ont'ound the thing anyway! 1 wish it were at the bottom of the Red Sea, nmttered Johnson, feeling a little uncomfortable. The conductor wns in a furious passion. He looked under the seat and behind Johnson but could see nothing, and in the meanwhile the music-box had changed its tune and rang out louder than a circus band, t' Pick a Chicken. Cold perspiration sparkled on Johnson's forehead and a reddish tint spread over his entire face. The conductor was very angry and had checked off seven passengers too many, yet all the while the music-box was everlastingly playing, 'tl lJidn't Raise My Boy to be a Soldier, as if its heart would break, and after it had gone through its entire collection of tunes, it looked as meek and innocent as a little baby. When Johnson reached his destination, the conductor helped him off the car quicker than when he had helped him on, and it was with a sigh ot' relief that Jolmson handed the instrument over to the repair otliee. After having it tixed, he placed it in his overcoat pocket again, but had forgotten all about it on his arrival home that evening. The next Sunday, the Johnsons attended church and just as the minister was in the act of announcing his text the forgotten music-box in Jolm- son 's overcoat pocket. all at once sang out, He's a Bold, Bad Man. The minister stared open-mouthed at the congregation and they gazed back at him in return. The Johnsons alone kept their eyes glued to the tioor and Johnson eould be heard muttering fragments of very emphatic language. After playing the three stanzas, the music ceased and Jolmson's heart beat easily once more. lint as soon as the minister had tinished his sermon and several of the good deacons were praying, the music'box, getting a slight jar, suddenly pealed forth, Dat 's llIll'lll0lly,l, and by the time that it had played two stanzas, Miss Jolmson was screaming, Mrs. Jolmson was crying and it wonldn 't be right to tell what Mr. Jolmson was doing, but it sounded very unscrupulous. The music-box had just finished the third stanza and was starting in on You'd Ought to See Deacon Jones as He Rattles His Bones, when tive deacons interviewed Johnson, and the whole congrega- tion shot np t'rom their seats as if they were sitting on springs to have a look at him. The minister's frowning could not stop the congregation 's tittering, and the desperate Johnson tried to explain, but he was accused of desecration of the church. Suffering bee 's wax, what next! muttered Johnson, as n deacon hastily ushered him out the door, with his overcoat and hat, and the music-box playing, When Johnny Comes Marching Home. Jolmson and his t'amily are attending another church now and the music-box is buried in the cellar, under four tons of hard coal. Svnvls. Przserz, '17. page thivrty-nine V W, vs ed- azred Girls' Day Ted was desperately in love. He had been ever since that glorious September morning when he had hauled the new district school teaeher and her trunk from the Mapleton station to his neighbor 's house, where she boarded. They had been friends since that time and many a young farmer lad of the district and several from the next, envied Ted's friendship. Now school was about to close and the teacher would be leaving soon. But Ted was bashful and just because the conversation wouldn 't bend around the way he wanted it to go, he left unsaid the very things that he had come to say. The week that thc three-ring circus was in Mapleton, he had tried for three consecutive evenings to get the conversation around to circuses, but in vain. Many times he had tried to bring the conversation to the topic uppermost in his mind, but when he got it as far as the Jewelry Store, it would switch over to the Five and Ten Cent Store or the Model Suit and Cloak Company next. Ted hated the sight of these two establishments and took a solemn oath never to buy a penny's worth from either. But on this particular evening, Ted Wilbur, the robust young farmer, was calling on Madge Dare, the pretty young school teacher, and matters progressed satisfactorily. The conversation had begun about the weather. Thence it had drifted to wind storms. Miss Dare shook her pretty locks and said she just couldn't stand wind and, my, how it did blow last Sunday! Speaking of Sunday, brought the conversation around to the new minister, and the minister's wife and her tireless cooker suggested the food show, and this made Ted Wilbur rejoice inwardly for he had come for the express purpose of asking Madge to go with him to the food show. 1 guess they have quite a few of those tireless cookers over at the food show in Maplet0n, he said. Did you ever go to a food show? Kind of interesting to go, don 't you think so? I see by the paper how they are letting the girls with red hair in for nothing. Sort of boost the show I suppose. And the red-haired girls and their escorts have free samples of everything at the show. If you 'd care to go some afternoon after school, 1 guess I can make a trip in my little ear in about half an hour. Would you care to go, Miss Madge? Yes, he had actually asked her. He paused, breathless for her answer. You asked me, I suppose, said Madge, 'tbecausc I'm the only girl you know with red hair? Well now, I don 't know as I'd say you had real red hair, he parried. You needn't hesitate about saying it, Madge assured him, 'ffor in the big cities red hair is very fashionable. But as to the food show, why sure l'll go. When shall it bei Oh, well, we might go next Saturday. That is to be the grand final and everyone will be there. I guess we can start out a little earlier since you 'll have no school teaching that day. - rlt- -It 'lt' -X' 'lt 'X' -it it at it 91- 'IF N' 'X' I haven 't read the papers lately, Ted was saying as they sped over the country highways in his small roadster, but I guess they are still looking for the girls with red hair. I suppose I'll see a good many of the boys and girls I went to school with. Madge laughed, but said noth- in f. At the door the man said, Tickets twent -five cents a iece and Madge cast a challengin glance at her escort 's face, a look that sto llf'1l in , I 1 .Y P , 3 II him as he put his hand in his pocket for the required money. The ladv with me savs, Ted ex lained to the ticket-seller with an embarrassed laurh, that-that we ought to 70 in free. . . P 1 2- in 't0h, certainly, certainly, explained the ticket-seller, eyeing them curiously, you ought to know if anybody does, and just to let the folks at the booths know that you are guests of honor, I will pin these little white bows on your coat somewhere. As they stepped into the hall, Ted was greeted almost immediately by a boy whom he called Fred, and soon Bill, Jim and Tom came up. All seemed particularly glad to see Ted and greeted him warmly. They were greeted with like eordiality by the demonstrators of the booths, and when they came out and climbed in the car, they 'were surrounded with breakfast foods, dishtowels, various kinds of soap, tea, coffee, canned goods, and a host of other suppliesg all in large sized packages. page forty 'l'hat 's what a t'ollow gots For hoing with a roll-hairowl girl, saitl To-l.

S. with a membership of twenty. The sparkling genius ot' our society was shown at once when we so illustriously discussed the question, Resolved: 'l'hat the negro received more cruel treatment at the hands of the whites than the Indians. Tile Seniors were awestruek when they learned of our wonderful ability. So by the time we had discussed the subject of woman sudrage they decided that it was about time to see for themselves what we could do by challenging us to an interclass debate. Both sides presented their arguments very ably and the judges. fearing that entire defeat would be too great a humiliation for either of the contending sides tespeeially the dignified Seniorsl, rendered the decision a tie. Vile Juniors were very eager to challenge the Seniors to a second debate, but thinking that probably they feared a defeat that would be more serious and that they would rather avoid the embarrassment of refusing, we brought the debating season ot' 'l-L-'15 to a very satisfactory close, especially to the Juniors. When in the fall of '15 we became Mighty Seniors. we again organized our society with even a greater membership and started the season with a period of very clever debates. Meanwhile we were being informed from time to time that the Juniors were producing some ot' the best debaters ever, so we were anxiously awaiting a challengeg but growing impatient with delay, we submitted the question, Resolved: 'l'hat the V. S. should own and control the railroads. 'llhe Juniors promptly responded. choosing the negative side of the question. 'l'he evening of April 27, Louise Erdmann, Eben Born and Virgil Morgan. the pride of the Juniors, and Orpha tlandy. Rex Ball and Robert Fagan, the hope of the Seniors, will present their arguments before the assembly of the high school building. The Juniors predict the championship, but we hope to change their opinions on that question considerably before the evening is over with. But glorying in the success of our career, let us not confer tl1e honor wholly upon ourselves. 'l'here is one who has cherished and fostered our society to make it the success that it has been. To Mr. lhrig do we, the Debating Society of 'l6, give our regards and best wishes for a long a11d prosperous reign over the kingdom of debating in the realm of old U. t'. Il. S.

This affords a wonderful opportunity for the renaissance of interest in the life and works of this greatest literary genius of the English-speaking peoples. The dramatic league of America, various magazines, and many newspapers are placing before the public a vast amount of valuable material. Carefully prepared programs have been sent to the public schools and universities so that through pageauts and other forms of dramatic represen- tation, the life, manners, and customs of the people of Shakespeare 's time may be interpreted. .llidsummer Night's Dream or As You Like It would make excellent outdoor plays. For indoors, any of his plays will serve. Festal characteristics sueh as proeessions, music, dancing, Shakespearean songs and costumes, add much to the pietnresqueness and color of the occasion. This year our high school has spent much time in the study of Shakespeare scenes from Macbeth., As You Like It, The rllerehant of Venice, and Romeo and Juliet. A series of magazine lectures on Shakespeare and his works have been studied by the senior class and literary programs have been given in his honor. V Whatever we may be able to do by way of celebration or appreciation, will only fcebly show our ardent admiration for this wonderful artist who has placed the drama on the highest English pedestal. This was the man who could skillfully use fifteen thousand wordsg this was the man who wrote within twenty-two years, thirty-seven dramatic masterpieces. His genius includes all the world of nature and man. In a word, he is the universal poet. liis scope of imagination is so extensive that he depicts equally well the most humble peasant or the most royal king. To study nature in his works, is like exploring a new and beautiful eountryg to study man in his works. is like going into a great city and viewing the motley crowd as one looks upon a great masquerade in which past and present mingle as freely and familiarly as if the dead were all living again. He lifts the mask of humanity and gives us a cross-section of the human soul. The following quotation gives us an insight into Macbeth 's true nature, the attitude of a man who has lost all hope: I have lived long enough, my way of life Is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf, And that which should accompany old age, As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to haveg but in their stead, Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honor, breath, Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not. While reading Shakespeare, we struggle with the valiant and ambitious Macbeth, and sympathize with the thoughtful and wavering Hamlet. We laugh with the witty Touchstone, and weep with the generous Antonio. XVe smile at the simple and awkward Audrey, and admire the wise and beautiful Portia. Murmuring streams and fragrant Howers make the Forest of Arden delightful. The natural beauty of Stratford is found in these charming lines from A lllialsummer Nigl1t's Dream: I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, VVhere oxlip and the nodding violet growsg Quite over-canopy'd with luscious wood-bine, WVith sweet musk-roses and with eglantinef' Volumes might be written in praise of Shakespeare and yet they would express only in a small measure the intrinsic worth of this world 's great dramatist. Let ns eonelude, therefore, by saying of him as Antony said of Brutus: His life was gentle, and the elements, So mixed in him that nature might stand up And say to all the world, 'This was a Man!

He owned four hundred and forty acres. He donated half of this land to the county and built a sawmill in the city limits ou Blue River on the condition that in return for this gift, Columbia City was to be located on this land and was to be the county seat. The survey was begun in 1839 and finished before the spring of 1840. The geographical center of Columbia Township is south of Columbia City at the juncture of Eel and Blue Rivers. This is a better place for a city as the land is more level and the soil more sandy. There would have been less grading of the streets. The first house erected in Columbia City was a tavern on the northwest corner of Main and Van Buren Streets. The names suggested for the new town were Beaver, Elizabethtown, Little Turtle, after the Indian chief, and Columbia. It was called Whitley County Courthouse for a timc, but finally Columbia City was selected as the name for the city. The high school students of today cannot comprehend the early conditions of Columbia City and its surroundings. The ground on which Columbia City stands was covered with heavy timber which was thick in all directions for miles and miles. One could travel from here to Ft. Wayne through continuous forests. The Indians roamed through the forests. At the gatherings there were as many Indians as white men. There were two villages near here. One was just south of where the Pennsylvania station now stands. This was called Pigeon 's Village. Coesse's Village was a mile farther south. The Indians were friendly with the whites and their children played together. The white children would sometimes go to the Indian villages where they heard the dub, dub, dub, of the Indian 's drum, which meant the dance was in progress. The drum was made with a skin stretched tightly over a keg. One Indian would pound this drum with a single stick while the others danced. In the dances everyone was for himself. The Indians were removed to the west in 1847. They did not want to go and the leave-taking from their homes, their graves and bones of their ancestors was very hard. One of the chiefs before he departed, stood in front of the tavern at the corner of Main and Van Buren Streets and looked over towards his village. As he stood there the tears ran down his cheeks and dropped off his chin. He was about to leave his home forever and to go to a new prairie country to which he was not accustomed. The thoughts of leaving were hard even for an Indian to bear. The roads were mere paths or trails through the woods and mud was abundantg where the Miller Block now stands water stood the year around. This is where Mr. Curtis W. Jones, who furnished much of the material for this, skated when he was a mere boy. The mosquitoes were very bad in thc summer. The swamps were excellent places for them and as soon as it was evening every family had its mosquito smoke. The first public building erected in Columbia City was a jail. It was built at the cost of four hundred and ninety dollars and the builder was allowed eight dollars for clearing the timber and brush off the place and two rods each way from it. This building was erected at the southeast corner of the public square. One has to stretch his imagination to think of the squares being covered with brush and timber. The first court in Columbia City was held in a house owned by Henry McLallen. The grand jury had its sessions in one of the rooms of the house, while the petit jury deliberated on an uprooted tree across the street. The first courthouse was built in 1841 and stood where the City Hall now stands. It was moved from this site and now stands on the west corner of Whitley and Van Buren Streets, and is now used as a dwelling. It was built nearly three-quarters of a century ago, yet it is well preserved. It cost four hundred and eleven dollars and fifty cents. The second court- house was completed in 1850. It cost seven thousand forty dollars and fifty cents. A bell was placed on this courthouse in 1853. This same bell now hangs in the courthouse and tells us the hours of the day. The present courthouse was begun in 1819 and was occupied in 1891. It cost one hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars, including the furnishings. We may pity thc early settlers, but they had their advantages. Their schools were their surroundings. These surroundings taught them inde- pendence, self-reliance. Their out-door life kept them healthy and strong. They had their good times at log-rollings, singing schools, spelling schools, and other ways. An old settler said the best Fourth of J uly celebration ever held in Columbia City was in 1846. There was a free dinner. There was a parade, headed by a band, which started in the woods just west of Main Street bridge. The Declaration of Independence was read and a general good time was enjoyed. There were as many Indians as whites at the celebration, which ended with a big shindeg at night. The people of the early days were strong and able to hold their own. They attained a very high degree of success in spite of their so-called disadvantages. - page fifty-eight The cost of living was low in early days. The woods afforded meat-everything from a chipmunk to a deer or bear. There were berries and plums and other wild fruits. Fire wood cost nothing, Coffee was eight or nine cents per pound. Dressed hogs sold for one and one-fourth cents per pound. Eggs were four cents per dozen. WVages were fifty cents per day. But money went farther in those days than now. Two and one-half days of work wonldbuy an acre of land. Hides were a great source of revenue. A coon hide would sell for almost as much as one dollar and fifty cents and more than pay the taxes on eighty acres of land. Mink hides would sometimes sell as high as ten or fifteen dollars. A lot on the southeast corner of Main and Van Buren Streets, where Fruit 's book store now stands, once sold for thirty-two dollars Rlld fifty cents and the buyer sold it for thirty-five dollars in a short time. This lot was four and one-half by nine rods. Anyone who had a pair of red topped boots in those days was dressed up. However, moecasins were much more common. Buckeye hats were very common too. The eoon hunters could go all night and have no trouble in finding their way home in the morning. In the very early times postage was high. At that time the rates were determined by the number of sheets and the distance the letter would travel. One sheet cost so much, two sheets twice as much and so on. The cost to send a letter less than thirty miles was six cents per sheetg from thirty to eighty miles, ten cents per sheet: from eighty to one hundred and titty miles, twelve and one-half cents per sheetg one hundred and fifty to four hundred miles, eighteen and three-fourths cents per sheet. Any distance over four hundred miles was twenty-five cents per sheet. The first settlers went to Vtlarsaw, Huntington, Ft. VVayne and Goshen for mail. Suppose we had to do that today, we should think it a great hardship as it would be today. Just think what it must have been then! The first postoffiee in Columbia City was established in 1842. The mail was brought overland from Ft. VVayne. From .luly l. 1842, to July l, 1846, Columbia City had a weekly mail. Routes were later established to VVarsaw, Plymouth, South Whitley, Elkhart, Wolf Lake and Albion. The early settlers cleared the forests, and drained the swamps-a great sanitary project which banished the malaria of early days. They accumulated wealth for us. They built roads, public buildings, churches and schools. They destroyed the stumps, built the sewers and graded our streets. Our debts to those old heroes and heroines can never be paid. All our comforts and conveniences we owe to them. They gave their lives for us. They made it possible for us to get an education in our common schools. VVo have our high school building and other conveniences because they did the things that had to be done before these later things could be accomplished. What would those sturdy old pioneers have the high school pupils do to repay them for their sacrifices? I am sure they would say, So live that you may be all that it is possible for you to be. In other words, make the most of yourselves. Stand four square to every wind that blows and do your part in preserving what the old pioneers did for you. Add your contribution to that of the pioneers, to be passed down to other generations so that they may be independent, self-reliant, God-fearing men and women, fit to be citizens of our great country-the United States of America.

GAIL E. LANCASTER, Class President and Editor-in-chief of THE COLUMBIAN for 1916, Conuivmis CITY, IND. Dear Sir: ' Being a member of the first graduating class of the Columbia City High School in 1881, my classmate, Nettie Mason Mullen, and myself were asked last year by Miss Mary Weber, editor-in-chief of Tm: COLUMBIAN, to write an article for that issue. Nettie responded with a very witty yet classical article. Sickness claiming my time, I was unable to do so, but in response to your kind invitation this year, I shall endeavor to take up the history of the schools of Columbia City up to the time of our graduation. In 1845 there was a one-story frame building standing on a plot of ground which is now the Courthouse square, and just west and a little north of where the present Courthouse stands. This building was oblong and had gables to the north and south. It was originally built for jury-rooms. There were two rooms, one for the petit jury and one for the grand jury. In the winter of this year, 1845-46, VVarren Mason, father of my class- mate, taught the first school held in Columbia City in the north room, while Richard Collins, as County Clerk and County Recorder, occupied the south room. The pupils sat on long benches and had no tables or desks. There were about twenty pupils, tive of whom are still living. They are: Curtis W. Jones, his sister, Mary Jones Sherwood, Caldwell E. Tuttle, owner of the Tuttle Mill, Mary Ellen Wunderlich, now Mrs. Theo. Reed, and her hus- band, Theo. Reed, of Spokane, VVash. James Washburn, lately deceased, also attended this school. They studied reading, writing, spelling and arithmetic. In the summer of 1846 and the winter of 1846-47, Jacob WVunderlich, father of Charles and Miss Lizzie Wunderlich and Mrs. Theo. Reed, taught in this same room. He had about thirty pupils and they paid a tuition of two dollars each. Wishing to give her children an education, Mrs. Jones, mother of Curtis and Mary, washed for the Wunderlich family to pay their tuition. In the summer of 1847, Eugene Brown started a summer school in the old Courthouse which stood at the corner of Whitley and Van Buren Streets on n lot owned by Joseph Zimmerman, grandfather of the Eyanson brothers. This building has been moved to the rear of the lot and is being used as a dwelling-house. This Mr. Brown liked liquor better than he did teaching and started away on a continuous spree and forgot to return to finish his school. The subject of a school building had been agitated prior to this time so funds were raised and the first schoolhouse was built on the Mike Slessman lot on Ellsworth Street, between Line and Chauncey Streets. The first school was held there during the winter of 1847-48 and was taught by Dr. Merritt Ireland, father of Mrs. Augusta Hunter, Dr. M. Ireland of the U. S. Service, and Homer Ireland of Dayton, Ohio. In this building, the pupils had seats and desks similar to those of today but of quite rude construction. Doctor Ireland taught reading, writing, spelling, history, and geography. He always had plenty of ox-gads in the corner which he used o11 all pupils getting five black marks against their credit. Corporal punishment was very popular in those days. During the summers of 1847 and 1848, Maxiamilian Jones, later Mrs. Franklin Foust, or better remembered as Aunt Maxia, taught a select school in this same brick schoolhouse, Addison Merrill teaching there during the winter of 1848--19, and Josiah Brown during the winter of 1849-50. Reverend Collins, a Baptist minister, taught in a two-story frame building on Wayne St., between Van Buren and Jackson Streets. This was later the home of Jacob Wunderlich. Miss Wilder taught here the next winter. Mrs. 'Wisner, a sister of Addison Merrill, taught the sum- mers of 1849 and 1850 in the little brick school, and A. Y. Hooper, father of Mrs. John Adams of Detroit, afterwards a very prominent attorney, taught the winter term of 1850-51. Miss Eliza Baker, later Mrs. Wm. Carter and the mother of Ed Carter, taught the summer term in the VVayne Street school. In the year 1852 under the new school law, Isiah B. McDonald was elected school examiner and in the winter of 1852-53, he taught a select school in a log cabin on the lot where the Frank Jones blacksmith shop now stands, facing Van Buren, between Washington and Whitley Streets. While teaching here, he built the house just across the street where Alfred Heacock now resides, and then taught a summer term of select school in one of the front rooms. A Miss Baker taught select school in a one-story building on the corner of Chauncey and Jefferson Streets, now the page sixty-two E. L. McLallen site. Doctor Reed, later a practicing physician here, taught a select school in a brick office building on the Courthouse Square. In the winter of 1853-54, John Bcrchard began teaching in the little brick schoolhouse, but took sick and the term was finished by Josiah Brown. This same winter, school was held in a building called the Tannery on the corner of Washington and Market Streets, just east of the jail, and was taught by A. VV. Myers, my mother 's brother. He was also appointed to serve as school examiner from 1854 to IS61. The winter of 1854-55, B. F. Hills taught in the log cabin school and in 1855-56, Dan Shumaker taught there. About this time schools began to open up all over town, also at the outer edges of town. Wherever a vacant room was to be had, someone would be teaching a private or select school and this was the condition of affairs until 1869, when the old brick school building which stood on the site of the present high school building was completed. During the winter of 1855-'56, Nancy Baker, later Mrs. Wm. 1Vells, conducted school in a two-story frame dwelling with the double porch that stood on the corner now occupied by the M. E. Church. This house will be recognized by many as the last 0110 on the west side of S. Line Street near the Pennsylvania crossing. In the summer of 1855, Sophia Keefer held select school in the log cabin schoolhouse before mentioned and Miss Steadman taught the summer of 1856 in the building on the McLallen corner. Miss Francis Clark conducted school this summer in the Van Orsdoll building just west of the Mrs. Dan Daniel 's home. Sarah Thompson was the teacher in the little brick school and Larina Ford, afterwards Mrs. A. VV. Myers, held school in a building facing Van Buren, between Line and VValnut Streets. This was later used by Joseph Carver as a meat market. ln a small frame building facing Main Street, just north of the present Provident Trust Company, Jane Thornburg conducted a private school and Lizzie Crozier taught there the next term. 1n the winter of 1856-57, the children from the north and west part of town went to school in a little frame schoolhouse just west of the Shinne- man Grove which was taught by Alfred Bainbridge who boarded around with the pupils as pay for their tuition. A. J. Douglas taught in the little brick school this year. The next winter David Coyle taught in the old Hildebrand workshop on Ellsworth Street on the lot where John Brahm now lives and Professor Tann taught in the little brick school. There was a two-story structure on the lot where the Clugston House now stands, the first floor of which was the Baptist Church and the second fioor which had two rooms, was known as the McDonald School. I. B. McDonald and A. J. Douglas taught there in the winter of 1857-58. During the summers of 1857 and 1858, Miss Francis Clark taught there. In the summer of 1858, Michael Douglas, brother of A. J., taught in the third story of the Kepner building on the corner of Chauncey and Van Buren Streets, where the Five and Ten Store is now located. This schoolroom was furnished the same as the McDonald school with long tables and benches on either side. When a boy wanted to move from one side of the table to the other, he simply stepped across the table, but when a girl wished to do so, the benches had to be moved. Just imagine the noise. I am told by some of the older citizens that the first thing the boys looked for when they went to school in those days, was the number of ox-gads that stood in the corner as their teachers believed like Solomon that to spare the rod would spoil the child. So they laid it on good and plenty and it was not an uncommon thing at all for the teachers to remove the coats of pupils and whip them with rawhides. David Coyle taught in the Hildebrand workshop in the winter of 1858-593 A. J. Douglas and Miss Thompson in the McDonald School, Joe Brown in the little brick on Ellsworth Street: and in the summer of 1859, Iflleeta Thompson taught in this little brick. Opposite the baseball park on N. Line Street, a private school was conducted in a dwelling-house by Mrs. Hiram Young during the winter of 1859-60, and A. J. Douglas and Electa Thompson taught in the McDonald rooms. It was at this time that A. J. Douglas introduced the method of teaching the multiplication table and geography by singing the lessons. He also discarded the rod and as a mode of punishment had the girls sit on his lap and spanked the boys with his hand. In the summer of 1860, Miss Francis Clark taught in the little brick school and in the winter of 1860-61, she taught a private school in a frame building known as the Prickett Building on the south side of Market Street, between Chauncey and Line, now owned by Dr. I. E. Lawrence. On the Viiagoner farm, about three-fourths of a mile east of town, was a small schoolhouse known as the VVagoner School, and Dennis Manning taught page sixty-titres 111011' in t110 W1111I'1'.

This year nothing was done toward the building of the west ward school and the sentiments of the people are known by an article found in the Columbia City Post in November, 1866, which reads as follows: 'tThe enumeration of scholars in our-city is now 401. It is a disgrace to our beautiful town that we have no schoolhouse, at least no public building. About 343,000 worth of work and material has already been furnished towards the completion of the building, but through want of funds and a great deal of bickering, nothing has been done towards the completion of the work begun a year ago. We do earnestly hope that the people of our town will take this matter in hand and have the building completed by next summer. We also find a report of the Teachers' Institute held November 12, 1866, with I. B. McDonald as President, Miss Augusta V. Ireland as Secretary, an executive committee composed of J. F. McNear, J. D. Allerton, C. B. Tulley, Amos Coyle, Misses Keefer, Wilcox and Harley, and Miss Kate E. Shinneman and Amos Coyle as Critics. Debating was quite as popular in those days as it is now and at this Institute the following subjects were debated: Should the Bible be used in our schools as a reading book1 , decided in the affirmative, H Should corporal punishment be used in the school roomi , decided in the afiirmativog Should a military spirit be encouraged in our common schoolsi , decided in the affirmativeg Should prizes or awards to scholars in our common schools for good conduct and advancement be encouragedt , decided in the negative. You will notice that if the same subjects were debated today with equal ability on both sides, the decisions would be just the contrary to the decisions of that year. In January, 1867, the Misses Kinney and Nichols opened a select school in the Collin 's school room on N. Main Street, on thc lot later occupied by the J. W. Adams home. Up to this time the Misses Kinney and Nichols had taught only girls, but they now advertised that they would receive n limited number of boys into their school for this term. In April, Miss Kate E. Shinneman, later the wife of Geo. Wallace and the mother of Mrs. Will Waterfall, taught an eleven weeks' term of select school in a little red school building on Walnut Street, between Van Buren and Market, facing west. On May 16, 1867, the cornerstone of the present Catholic Church was laid, Bishop Leners officiating. During this summer Mr. Limbach moved his school from across the river to the little house across from the church on the corner of Line and Spencer Streets. In June, D. A. Quick, President of the Board of Corporation Trustees, advertised in the papers that bonds issued by the Board for the completion of the school building in the west end were now ready for sale. These were not gathered in very fast. An eleven weeks' term of summer school was taught in the Kepner School by A. J. Douglas and J. D. Allerton, and in the McDonald School, Marion Coyle and H. F. McNear taught the higher branches and Miss Lottie Keefer taught the primary branches. A Mr. Booze taught a term of night school for working men and boys in the frame house now occupied by Miss Mayme and Will Betts and mother on Hanna Street. That winter he taught the Wagoiiei' School and here the pupils would take the benches out at recess and at noon intermissions and slide down hill on them as sleds and then when school took up again, carry them back in and sit on them the same as before. Hannah Schaffer taught in a building east of the shipping pens on the south side of the Pennsylvania tracks on Swihart Street. Institute was again held this fall and all teachers who expected to obtain a. license and teachers were required to attend at least five days of thc nine days' session. There were 103 teachers at this Institute. During the winter of 1867-68, J. E. McNear and Marion Coyle taught the high school branches in the McDonald rooms over the Baptist Church, while Miss Augusta Ireland, now Mrs. Augusta Hunter, taught the primary and common branches. The Misses Kinney and Nichols also taught a winter term in the Collins school and their terms of tuition were five 'dollars for the common branches and six dollars for high school branches. Since baseball as an athletic sport has been closely associated with the schools in the later years, I do not think it will be amiss to mention here that on August 22, 1867, the first game was held in Columbia City between Kosciusko Baseball Club of Pierceton and the Dexter Baseball Club from here. The game lasted four hours and forty minutes and the score was 49 to 67, in favor of the Kosciusko Club. Some game! page skcty-five The school enumeration for 1867 was 411-204 boys and 207 girls. Children were started to school by their parents at a very early age, some of them being only four years old. In March, 1868, the free schools began in the McDonald rooms under the supervision of J. D. Allerton, assisted by C. B. Tulley and John Reider, and the Misses Kinney and Nichols began their seventh term of school in the Collins school. Miss Lizzie White CMrs. Chas. Edwardsl and Jennie Morrison, now Mrs. Millard Anderson of New York City, taught private school in one room in the Harris Block on the east side of S. Main Street, on the lot where Ed Kessley now lives. This is the first school I ever attended. As the people were getting desperate, a school meeting was held in the Courthouse in April to devise ways and means for the erection of the west end school building that summer. Even by dividing up the terms into ten and twelve weeks each and having school in every available room in town, there still was not enough room to assemble all pupils. But the prospects for the much-talked-of and very much desired schoolhouse in Columbia City were fair and it was said that arrangements were being made for the sale of enough bonds to insure the completion of the building at an early date. So on Julie 10 another meeting was held and bonds of S100 each to the amount of 54,000 were put out for sale. There were fifteen of the S100 bonds put out at six per cent interest for one year, fifteen more at eight per cent interest for two years, and the remaining ten at ten per cent interest for three years, payable at the Columbia City Bank. As soon as these bonds were sold the work began and that summer it moved along very nicely until in August when the Board of Trustees found that still 31,500 more was needed to complete the work. So fifteen more bonds were issued at ten per cent interest for three years and again the work was continued. In August school was opened for an eleven weeks' term in the McDonald rooms by J. F. McNeal' as principal, Miss A. T. Harley as first assistant and Miss Abbie Gruesbeck as second assistant. Terms of tuition were two dollars to five dollars, according to the branches taken. Miss Kate E. Shinnenian taught the summers of 1868 and 1869 in the Walnut Street school. In December the Board of Trustees again met as the building was still unfinished and again found the funds insufficient to complete the building, so 851,500 was put out in fifteen more bonds at ten per cent interest at three years and the work was completed that month at a total cost of about S9,800, including the cost of the seats. It was built of brick and was three stories in height. The walls were built sixteen inches thick and had an air space of two inches. The two lower floors were divided into two rooms each, forty by thirty feet square with fourteen-feet ceilings, each room seating eighty-four pupils. The third floor was left in one large room, and school was not held in that room until later on. Each room had a blackboard twenty-five feet long and four feet wide painted upon the hard finished wall with Folbook's liquid slating, and there were nine large windows in each room on'the two lower fioors. A small conservatory was erected on top of the building, nine by fourteen feet, and from a copy of the Columbia City Post we find that from this elevation the beholder was enabled to see the town at one glance, together with the beautiful farms adjoining the city, until the view was lost in yonder forest. The Post further states that this Usplendid structure was expected to stand long a monument to commemorate to posterity the mechanical skill and science of J. C. Cheney, prominent member of the Board of Trustees, and who superintended the erection of the school building and had been so instrumental in the sale of the bonds for the necessary funds to carry on the work. He also built and lived in the house now occupied by the present superin- tendent, J. C. Sanders. Happy indeed were the people of Columbia City that at last their children had a permanent school and proud beyond words of the splendid structure as it was termed. And in those days it was a fine schoolhouse, but the skill and science of mechanical building has traveled so fast in the last forty-five years that the children of today would consider the schoolhouse of 1869 a huge joke. Under the supervision of Prof. Jacob Herr,'the first school in this building opened on the first Monday in January, 1869, with Professor Herr in the south room on the second floor, W. H. Knisely in the north room, C. B. Tulley in the north room on the ground floor and Miss Abbie Gruesbeck in the south room, which was known as the Hbaby room. The rooms on the second floor were not plastered yet this year so you can imagine the fun the pupils had and how handy it was for them to drop nut shells, apple cores and other truck into the air spaces in the brick wall. There were no trees in the school yard and no grass lawn, nothing but yellow clay. The school bell was mounted on a fourteen foot post which was about twelve page sixty-six inrhos in tlinnwtor unml it stooml a littlc to thc' north and vast of tht- svhoolhousv. C. B.

The teachers of the Columbia City free schools formed a Literary Society this winter which met every Friday night in the school building. School closed April 8 by giving a school exhibition. The spring term began April 18 for a three months' term with A. J. Douglas as Superintendent, J. E. Doreland in the north room on second iloor, Lizzie McCoy in the south room, Caroline Davis, now Mrs. David Shinneman, in the north room on the ground floor, and Naomi Wilcox in the primary room. The number of scholars in attendance at this school was 345. The school enumeration of pupils from the ages of six to twenty-one years was 582-288 boys and 294 girls. Col. I. B. McDonald handed in his resignation in September, 1870, as school examiner to the Board of Commissioners, same to take effect December 25, 1870. The board appointed the Hon. A. J. Douglas to fill the position and then the title of County Superintendent was substituted and used thereafter. During the winter of 1870-71, Ad Mosher taught the pupils of the south side at the Wagoner School. Miss Fletcher was secured to teach the Catholic School and she taught two terms. During this winter term, W. A. Dickey taught ou the third Hoor of the west ward building, James Dorelaud in the north room 011 second floor, Lizzie McCoy in the south room, Caroline Davis QShinnemanj in the north room on the ground tloor, and Naomi Wilcox in the south room. On April 3, 1871, spring school began and there was a very fair attendance. LeRoy Thoman taught on the third floor, James Doreland on the second floor in the north room, and Lizzie McCoy in the south room, Emma King, now Mrs. W. A. Ball, in the north room on the ground iioor, and Naomi Wilcox in the south room. Superintendent Douglas, who was also the County Superintendent now con tracted this year to preach for the Lutheran Congregation for one year, and added to all these duties, he oificiated at most of the weddings that took place at that time. The school board was composed of Wm. Carr, Jacob Ramp and John Toupert, the latter the grandfather of John Lillich. The winter term began in September, 1871, with Rev. A. J. Douglas as Superintendent, LeRoy Thoman on the third floor, James Doreland in the north room and Lizzie McCoy in the south 1'oom on the second floor, Emma King QBallj in the north room on the first Hoor and Naomi Wilcox in the primary room. The attendance at this term was 400 and the enumere tion for this year was 604-289 boys and 315 girls. At the beginning of this term of school the Board of Education of the County, consisting of the township trustees, city school board and the county superintendent, held a meeting and by an almost unanimous vote changed the reading books from the McGuifey's Series to the Independent Series. During this term the following verses were written upon the blackboard of the south room on the second floor and sung daily by the pupils: O come, come away from home and all its pleasures, The school-bell calls for one and all, O come, come awayg Come, come, where all will smile on thee, And in each class will promptly be, and time, pass cheerfullyg O come, come away. H The first hour of school let all be in their places, With hearts all light and faces bright, O that, that 's the way, Then the classes can recite so well, And rapid progress soon will tell of time spent usefully, O that, that 's the way. Let ev 'ry scholar come, ne'er linger in the morning, And absent we should never be, 0 that, that's the wayg Then we will learn our lessons well, And every action here shall tell of truth, love and purityg 0 that, that's the way. page sixty-eight -L.

J. Douglas as principal, Cyrus Widup on the third floor, Alice Douglas fMossmanQ in the south room of the second floor, John Reider in the north room, Emma King fBallj in the north room on the ground floor and Effa Wunderlich, later the wife of the Hon. W. F. McNagny and the mother of Phil and Robert McNagny, on duty in the primary department. The School Board this year was composed of Wm. Carr, Jacob Ramp and Wm. Scott. J. E. Doreland, who had taught several terms, went into partnership with G. M. Bainbridge in the mercantile business. The township trustees met in the Auditor 's office in June and elected A. J. Douglas as County Superintendent for the next three years. ln this same month, the Hon. W. F. McNagny, who had taught several terms in Richland Township, was admitted to the bar by Judge Long and shortly afterwards he entered into partnership with James Campbell. In August a new school bell was purchased and mounted on top of the school building and it was understood that there would be no excuse for juveniles being tardy. Winter school began September 2 with Rev. A. J. Douglas as Superintendent, Roscoe Kaufman on the third floor, John Reider in the north room of the second floor, Alice Douglas tMossmanj in the south room, Emma King ffiallj in the north room on the first tloor and Effa Wunderlich QMcNagnyJ in the south room. A very select school opened up for the winter term September 1, 18728, in the house now occupied by Lewis King and family on the west side of N. Line Street. This was known as Green Hill Academy and was conducted by the Misses Kinney and Nichols, who needed no introduction to the people of Columbia City. They taught three terms here each year, terms of twelve weeks' duration in spring, fall and winter. They conducted this school until 1880, when they left for South Dakota. The pupils who attended here were termed Green Horns by the west ward free school pupils, and they in turn were named the 'fSlaughter House Rats by the academy pupils. Professor Kaufmann organized a grammar school which met two nights a week in the school house. The Board of Education of Whitley County adopted the following books to be used in the free schools in the future: McGujffcy'.s' Spellcr, If'1'e'nch's Arithmetic, Grecnis Grammar, .llonteith's Gcogrnplzy, f'uttcr's Physiology, Quacl.'e'nbos' History and Spcncerian Pennzanslnlp. The spring school began in April, 1874, with Superintendent Douglas in charge, Roscoe Kaufman on the third iioor, Jolm Reider in the north room, Alice Douglas fMossmanJ in the south room on the second floor, and Emma King QBallQ in the north room and Etfa McNagny in the baby room on the first Hoor. In July, S. J. Hunt, assisted by Miss Lizzie Douglas, daughter of A. J. Douglas, taught a normal school in Larwill to forty students and teachers. The winter term began in August and Rev. A. J. Douglas was superintendent again. S. J. Hunt taught on the third fioor, Alice Douglas QMossmanj in the north room, Dilla Stough in the south room on second tioor, Emma King tBallj in the north room on ground iioor, and Ella Yontz, now Mrs. J. W. Brand, in the primary room. This room was full to overflowing this winter and Ella Yontz Clirandj says she had from 102 to 120 pupils. The enumeration for 1874 was 763-365 boys and 398 girls. On February 28, 1875, a spelling match was held in the Central Hall Room now occupied by the K. P. Lodge, and an admission of twenty-five cents was charged by Reverend Studebaker and S. J. Hunt, the promoters and managers of the match. In a copy of the Post we also find mention made of several pupils, the writer included, who having received 100 per cent for the week ending February 12, had their names placed on the blackboard as a reward of merit. It is worthy to note here that our present Vice-president of the United States, Hon. Thomas Riley Marshall, who was very much interested in school work and who was later a member of the School Board, made his maiden speech to a jury in the old brick Courthouse on April 30, 1875. The spring term began in March with S. J. Hu11t on the third fioor, Alice Douglas in the north room and Dilla Stough in the south room on the second floor, Emma King fBallj in the north room on the first floor and Ella Yontz fBrandJ in the primary room. During the summer of 1875, Alice Douglas fMossmanJ taught a six weeks' term of select school in the west ward building in one of the down- stairs roomsg tuition was 581.25 per scholar. At the same time Supt. A. J. Douglas and S. J. Hunt were conducting a normal school for teachers and older pupils upstairs and their terms of tuition were 585 each pupil. The new School Board for this year was composed of Jacob Ramp, A. A. Rickei and Ed Cutter. The enumeration for 1875 was 682-349 boys and 333 girls. page seventy The winter term of 1875-76 began in September with Rev. A. J. Douglas as superintendent, S. J. Hunt on the third floor, Alice Douglas fMoss- many in the north room and Dilla Stough in the south room on the second iioor, Etfa Wunderlich QMcNagnyj in the north room of the first fioor and Ella Yontz fllramlj in the south room. Miss Stough did not finish her term as she took sick and died in March, 1876 and her term was tinished by Miss Sadie Carr, later Mrs. Lewis Mitten. A Literary Society was organized in September with S. J. Hunt as president, R. ll. Collins as vice-president, l'ltTa Wunderlich QMcNagnyj as secretary, and Luella Cobaugh, now Mrs. Frank Widup, as treasurer. 1 failed to mention in its proper place a school that is of great interest to us and that is the school that was taught in the little German Lutheran Church, facing south on Ellsworth Street, between Washington and Whit.ley. This church was built in 1866 and the fall of that year a Mr. Fickweiler was secured to teach this school. There is no definite record of how long he taught or how many pupils he had, but he taught reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, English, German, Bible history and catechism. During his teaching, he was under the supervision of the parish pastor, Reverend Reichhardt. Following this minister, Rev. Stephen Hassold took charge and from 1876 to 1880 he not only acted as minister but as teacher as well. He was greatly beloved by the parents as well as the children. Following him came Reverend Zimmerman, who remained until 1883. From 1883-89, Rev. 'l'. R. Thieme looked after the church and the school affairs. On May 5, 1889, the present pastor, Rev. H. E. C. H. K. Jungkuntz, came to this parish to administer to the spiritual wants of the congregation and to teach their children. He has continued in his work up to the present time. It was at this school that our present city school superintendent, J. C. Sanders, wendcd his way when but eight years old with a slate and a big bundle of books under his arm to receive his first schooling. And he continued to go to school here until he was sixteen when he was confirmed. It is said that Julius was a very timid pupil, that the girls would scare him easily and that the boys would pick on him, but that he would not fight until he had to to sustain his dignity and reputation. Then it is said that he was guilty of whipping several older boys quite thoroughly. While Professor Sanders is not strong on corporal punishment fat least, not any stronger than his good right arm can bring about when it is a necessityj, he does have the reputation of being one of the best disciplinarians as well as one of the best instructors in the state. ln the winter of 1876-77, A. J. Douglas again served as superintendent, S. J. Hunt on the third floor, Etfa VVunderlich QMcNagnyj on the second tioor in the north room, Sadie Carr QMittinj in the south room, Ella Yontz QBrandj in the north room of the ground floor and Mrs. Lottie Earle in the primary room. The teachers were paid this year according to the length of time for which their license was held, as for instance, the trustees paid the teacher who had a six months' license 391.25 per day, and those having a two years' license were paid 81.75 per day. The enumera- tion was 743-369 boys and 374 girls. In 1877, the School Board was composed of Theo. Reed, A. A. Ricker and Wm. Carr. About t.his time the School Board and the teachers were brought face to face with t.he fact that something had to be done as the school rooms of the public school were filled to the utmost capacity. The subject of building a new schoolhouse of sufficient. capacity to accommodate the pupils of Swihart's Addition, now called the south side, was dis- cussed and after due consideration it was decided to purchase grounds in this locality upon which to place this above-named building which was to be a two-story structure, built with a view to convenience,durability and architecture. So the quarter of a block at the corner of Ohio and Chicago Streets in Swihart's Addition was purchased at a cost of 58425, upon which was built the schoolhouse we remember as being called the 'tSouth Ward, recently torn down. School was held here the winter of 1877-'78. It was not as long atask to erect this building as it had been to erect the west end building. Ellen V. Haley taught here that winter term under the superintendency of Supt A. J. Douglas. The teachers for the west end school were S. J. Hunt in the upper room, Etta Wunderlich QMcNagnyj in the north room on the second floor, Sadie Carr QMittenj in the south room, Ella Yontz QB:-andy in the north room on the ground iioor and Lottie Earle in the primary department. The enumeration for this year was 749. In 1878 we page seventy-one J find no record of a summer school being held. Now that more school room was found, the pupils could all go at one time and the terms could be lengthened somewhat. School began September 26 with Supt. A. J. Douglas in charge, S. J. Hunt on the third floor, A. C. Mills in the north room on the second fioor, Sadie Carr QMittenj in the south room, Lottie Earle in the north room on the first floor and Ida Lore, now Mrs. A. J. Wagoner, in the baby room. In the south ward, Frank NNeingardner was in charge of the upper floor and Miss Goodin in the primary room. Children living outside of the school corporation were charged a tuition of dsl per month, payable in advance to the treasurer of the school board, who gave them a receipt for the same which the pupils delivered to the superintendent of the schools who caused their names to be entered on the school rollbooks for that term. The superintendent then turned the receipt over to the secretary of the board who charged the same against the treasurer so all accounts could be kept in a legitimate manner. The school board ordered the south ward known as Ward No. 2, and the west end school as VVard No. 1. In December, S. J. Hunt resigned his position and A. C. Mills was appointed to his place on the third floor and James E. McDonald was secured to teach the north room on the second floor vacated by Mr. Mills. The school board was composed of T. B. McDonald, who took the place vacated by Theo. Reed who had resigned, Dr. D. M. Marshall, father of Vice-president T. R. Marshall, and VVm. Carr. The enumeration for this year was 737. In the fall of 1879, it was decided to lengthen the school term to 1llllC months and the school board for that year was composed of I. B. Mc- Donald, Doctor Marshall and John Krider. School began in September under Supt. A. J. Douglas, and the rooms of Ward No. 1 were numbered and the third fioor was divided into two rooms and these were whitcwashed and plastered. The south room was to bc the high school room and A. C. Mills taught here. The north room was known as A. Grammar room and James McDonald conducted the classes. On the second floor in the north room, which was known as B. Grammar, Frank Weingartner taught, and in the south room known as the intermediate roonl, Sadie Carr fMittenJ was teacher. The north room of the first floor was called Second Primary and this was taught by Ida Lore fWagonerj, while Lottie Earle taught the south room known as First Primary. In the South ward or Ward No. 2, Etta Wunderlich QMcNagnyJ taught the upper or intermediate room and Ella Harrington, the primary class on first floor. The school board ordered all pupils outside of the school corporation to pay 391.50 for high school branches, 351.25 for A. Grammar, 351.00 for B. Grammar and no pupils below the B. Grammar were to be admitted. The enumeration for this year was 727. In 1879, Father Helhake carrie to take charge of the Catholic pupils and he continued to teach here until the Sisters came to take charge of the school. In 1880, Rev. A. J. Douglas, who had been our superintendent for so many years, received a call from some church in Kentucky to be their pastor, so he left Columbia City to make his future home in Kentucky. We were sorry to see Reverend Douglas leave our schools. While his education would not compare so favorably with that of the superintendents of today, yet his faculty of imparting knowledge to the pupils was wonderful. He had no superiors in his time and few equals. He was an optimist, full of personal magnetism, very sympathetic and original. He was the only man who held chapel in his school. Every morning as soon as the pupils were assembled ill their various rooms, they were marched upstairs to the third fioor to the tune of The Campbells Are Coming, played by Reverend Douglas on a little old yellow organ which stood on the third floor. After a song and a prayer by himself, he made such announcements as he deemed necessary and then the pupils were marched back to their rooms again. lt was no uncommon thing for him to make mention at this morning worship, with tears streaming down his face, of some pupil who had passed away. He was all over that schoolhouse, upstairs and down, from one room to another, with a full knowledge of what was being done in each room. lt was customary in those days for the lady teachers, especially, to send the misbehaved pupils to Superintendent Douglas for punishment, and oft with fear and trembling a pupil would go into his office expecting to receive a good spanking and would go away disappointed, after telling him all about his misbehavior, by getting a kind reprimand and some good advice thrown in. They would go back to their room much happier than when they left it. Very often, however, we were not disappointed, but would receive the spanking due us and some good advice also before we were permitted to go to our rooms. There was no arch in his right hand, the palm was perfectly flat and there are many of 'us who can testify that it was hard as a board. Yet he was a grand, good man. Blessings be to his memory which will live in our hearts forever. page seventy-two So .l'rot'. W.

Among this numhor of graduates we have lawyers, doctors, bankers, husinoss men, and, in fact, representatives in ull wulks ot' life who would do orodit to institutions with u roputation of greater tutorage. During tho your 1878-79, 1 did not attond puhlim' sehool horo lint wus sent to svhool :it Vl'osloy:in University ut Dolnwure, Ohio. So far as my own porsonal oxperienoes in school, 1 wish hero to mention the teuoliers under whom l uttondod sehool nftor louving the Harris Block. They were Naomi Vllilcox, Mrs. Carlino Davis Shinnonuin, Lizzio MoCoy, Mrs. Alive Douglas Mossmzin, .lumos lfl. Melbonulsl, S. J. Hunt, A. C. Mills, and VV. C. Burnhart. All of thoni 'wero great, good teuvliors in their day, und while somo ot' them liuvo tinishod thoir work horo upon oarth, muny tender monlories of them still linger with us, and not only of thoso gone on hut of tlioso also who nrt' still among us. 'l'horo ure many things thut could huvo been told relative to the methods that were used prior to 1881 that would he of great interest to some ot' us, nlso ot' tho punishments used :it that time and tho effect upon the pupils, some of whioh were mentioned. Ono in purtieulur 1. wish to IllI'1lilUll und that wus of two pupils who wore laughing, one of them was caught and by way of punishment was seated fave to the wall in the south corner ol' tho room nour the hl:u'khonrd. 'l'irod of sitting there, she took up ai piece of chalk and whilo the teaoher's lmnek was turned wrote the following: Here I sit with my face to the wall, .lust for laughing, that was all. We were laughing, me and my pard, Oli, but the way of the transgressor is hard. page seventy-three The punishment in this case seemed to be severe ln the higher arithmetic class taught by S. J. Hunt in the high school room, the class was usually divided, each half having n leader. The leaders would see that each member of their class l1ad his lesson. Each leader would assign a member of his class to compete with a member of the opposite class. Not only in the working of a problem but in criticizing the work as well did they have to compete. A correct account. was kept by the secretary ot' each class of the daily percentages and were averaged at the end of each week so as to tell which class was in the lead for that week. The last year that 1 was in this class, Miss Ella Harrington, afterwards a teacher in the South Ward, and myself were the leaders of the class. In studying interest in the arithmetic classes, Mr. Hunt had some paper script made of various denominations and upon the face ot' each was printed: The National School Bank will pay to bearer upon demand in school currency 3141 for whatever the denomination might bel. Signed, S. J. llunt. President, H. H. Prickett, Secretary. The pupils would borrow money, giving their note at different rates ot' interest, using this money in discounting other notes and buying more notes, doing a regular business with the school bank with this currency. When one of them came into possession of 28200 or 3421110 of this script, and had no debts, they were considered very wealthy. Some of this script is still in existence. Mr. Hunt, who conceived this idea of handling money, must have had that conception multiplied considerably as he is a very wealthy man today. A coincidence connected with the west ward building is that Mrs. Ida Wagoner was either a pupil or a teacher in each term that was taught in that building. We now have a school that is as nearly perfect as can be under the present school laws and second to none, superintended by a home man born on the south side, opposite the Mt-Lallen School Building, and which is managed by a School Board of rare good judgment. Vt'ith all the schoolhouses well equipped to supply the demands of the pupils in an educational way, with bright pupils, willing workers, yet we doubt that with all these advantages, any of them will walk away as graduates with any more self-importance or with any bigger feelings than those of the class of '81, We should have an annual meeting ofthe alumni with an annual banquet to each new class, and 1 hope that some of the rnennbers of the alumni will take it upon themselves in the near future to bring this about. With many pleasant recollections of my school days and with congratulations to the class of 1916, I remain Very truly yours, Davin S. Llsvrm., M.D., '81. playa se,'L'1'r1ly-fuzz: Mn.

It is hard to make a six best seller out of a bunch of faculty and student pictures. However, with the addition of several unusual features, we hope that it will be as interesting as a fish and game report at least. If we have stepped on anybody's toes, we apologize in advance, for all that is said, is said good-naturedly. In compiling this COLUMBIAN we have used some of the cuts from other yearbooks, but it was necessary, as a matter of economy, that we do so. We have been deprived of having advertisements by ruling of the Commercial Club, but have been supported by the business men, for which we are truly grateful. Several years ago it was decided that each of the lower classes should be represented on the Annual Board in order that they might gain some knowledge in editing an annual. This year we have gone a step farther and have elected underclassmen to positions on the staff. ln the nineteen fifteen COLUMBIAN a Reminiscence Department was started. After due consideration we have decided to continue this feature. This year we feel that the material is especially interesting and will be very valuable in later years, to any one compiling a history of the Columbia City schools. Under Miss Hallowell's supervision a library committee consisting of high school students has systematically and efficiently catalogued the Columbia City High School Library. The work is very benelicial to the student body. It would not have been possible for the Annual Board to publish this book without some assistance. We desire to thank all those who have so graciously assisted us in this work. Especially: Mabel Bowlby, who has given her time to typewriting material. All those who have contributed material. Mr. Holloway for his advice and patience in helping us. All those who have helped us by their encouragement and in terestz The business men for their liberal donations. Miss Williams, who so carefully proofread the COLUMBIAN. page ninety-eight E Wk 5 1 N ,M 7 X54 1 - ,Em 'ai H+. 'f 'A La in ' mis .
