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.
