A. Compton F. W. Campher J. L. H ARM ON Although we, the student body, do not know the mem¬ bers of our school board personally, as we do our principal and superintendent, we know that the progress of Elkhart High School is due directly to their competent leadership. For the ceaseless efforts of these men, we the class of 1928 wish to express our thanks and appreciation. J. F. Wiley, Superintendent Illinois University A. M. De Pauw University A. B. Mr. Wiley’s character is that which we all admire and we are very proud that such a man as he, represents us in the educational world. When he comes before the students he is received with much applause and en¬ thusiasm. Mr. Wiley’s keen and sympathetic interest in the students and their problems has won for him many friends. J. W. Holdeman, Principal Indiana University A. M. Indiana State Normal A. B. We all feel, especially the Seniors who have been partially under the guidance of our Principal the last four years, that Mr. Holdeman’s executive ability has been the main factor of bringing our High School up to the high standard which it has today. We, the Seniors of 1928 , think that our High School is one of the best institutions of its kind in our State and this is due directly to the leadership of our Principal and Superintendent.

S., Your structure planned and fashioned By the Master Builder’s mind. Then out of shapeless masses You became a frame of steel. The workmen labored long before They saw a semblance of Your beauty; yet they never tired, For within the ribs of steel The gaping skeleton held promises Of unsurpassed worth. Each rivet, bolt, and screw; each rope And plank and iron clamp; Each workman’s sweat, unceasing toil, Each earnest honest effort To do the best with what God gave him Brought our good ship her grace. Now the four long years are gone, And we must launch our ship. Run up the flags and beat the drums, For here is a ship that’s built Of souls; souls with a purpose to live, Souls with a God to serve. Sail on! Brave ship of ’ 28 . And may you live and go down Serving your God on your Sea. William Dreves, ’28 vi [Twenty-si x] IPENNANT T. H. Miller ”The world belongs to the energetic.” Mr. Miller, acting as pur guardian in High School affairs, has for the last two years successfully guided our class through many difficulties. The financial success of our Junior play, “The Youngest,” was due directly to his efficient management. He has been very capable in solving the many problems which have confronted us, and we heartily thank him for the willing assistance he has given. Arden B. Crawford—“A rdie” ' True friends are like diamonds, precious but rare.” Interclass Basketball, ’25 ; Varsity Basketball, ’26, ’27, ’28; Track, ’27, ’28; Varsity Tennis; E. H. S. Tennis Champion, Spring, ’26, Fall, ’27; Ring and Pin Committee; President 1A, 2A; Advertising Mana¬ ger, Annual Staff; Hi-Y; Drum Major, ’26, ’27. “Ardie” was a willing class worker and well liked by every member of his class. His hobby must have been school dances as he never missed one. Will you ever forget seeing Arden play tennis, and strut as he led the band on their triumphal entry onto the foot¬ ball field? “Ardie” is going to Purdue next fall to study engineering. J. James Neale—“J immy” Even beneath your very nose Performs his knavish tricks.” Student Representative Football, ’24, ’25, ’26 ; Basketball, ’25, ’26, ’27; Varsity Tennis, ’27; Inter¬ class Basketball, ’24; Fighting Fifty; President, 2C; Vice-President, IB, 2A; Social Chairman, 2B; Annual Staff. “Jimmy” has been one of the most popular members of our class. His managing ability and helpfulness have been invaluable to the class and school. He is liked by everyone, even the faculty, who unfailingly donate him their choicest front seat! He is going to Michigan University to be a lawyer, and he ought to be a good one for in every argument he always has the last word. Arlene A, Klinger—“S horty” We know an accomplished little lass, Whom few can equal and none can surpass.” Secretary, 1A, 2A; Treasurer, Mathematics Club; Orchestra, ’23, ’24; Social Committee, 2C; Secretary, Rah! Rah! Club, ’26; President, Rah! Rah! Club, ’27; Annual Staff. Arlene told us that her hobby is attending football games and as we remember it, she hasn’t missed a game this year. She has played in many musical pro¬ grams for various clubs; thus she is well known as a talented musician. Arlene is going to stay at home next year to study music. Herbert Burkhardt—“B ud” It is a friendly heart that has plenty of friends.” Hi-Y; Fighting Fifty; Annual Staff; Announce¬ ment Committee; Treasurer, 2A; Minstrel Show; Var¬ sity Tennis, ’27; Football, ’24; Interclass Track, ’25. “Bud” stands in the ranks as an ardent member of the class. His last job has been taking care of the surplus (?) that the class has piled up. Another dis¬ tinguishing characteristic of “Bud” is that he belongs to that group of fellows infested with the red sweater mania. “Bud’s” beaming face is always welcomed in session rooms by teachers and students. [Twenty-seven] Edson C. Fish—“E d” What’s in a name?” Editor-in-chief of the Annual; Class President 1C, IB; Vice-President 2B ; Treasurer 2C; Assistant Busi¬ ness Manager of the Pennant, ’25 ; Business Manager, ’26; Varsity Debate, ’27; Forum President, ’27; Fight¬ ing Fifty; Hi-Y; Glee Club; H. M. S. Pinafore. “Hey, Fish,” seems to have become one of the Pen¬ nant office yells since Edson became editor. He is one of the most popular and well-liked members of the class, always willing to lend a hand in any kind of class activity. Edson’s size has not kept him from being conspicuous, “and how?” He could be heard singi ng or talking from one end of the hall to the other. We are sure that if Edson faces life in the same manner he has school, he will be a great success. Hazel L. Dougherty— “Zip” Joy rises in me like a summer s morn.” Prom Committee, ’27; Social Chairman 1C, 2C; Rah! Rah! Club; Chorus; Dramatics Club; Tennis Team, ' 27; Social Committee, 2A; Mathematics Club, Treasurer Sophomore Play; Annual Staff; Pennant Weekly, ’26, ’27. “Zip” has been one of our faithful members, espe¬ cially in planning good times for us as you see by the many social committees she has been on. She was al¬ ways ready and willing to do her part—doing it with a smile. On Senior Day she proved to be a very capable leader of her pirate gang in quest of their treasure. Richard Kirkwood—“D ick” The greatest of men ask a question now and then.” Fighting Fifty; Hi-Y: Annual Staff; Social Commit¬ tee, 2C; Chairman Social Committee 2A; Senior Ban¬ quet Committee; Senior Day Committee. Dick’s cheerful and friendly disposition has made him popular among his classmates. Dick is a pleasure- loving person, yet never letting his work or pleasure interfere with each other. Dick’s greatest ambition is to be an electrical engineer, so he is going to Purdue to study that course. Of course Bill will go with him. Kathryn Voelkert—“K aty” A good disposition is more valuable than gold.” Pennant Staff; Annual Staff; Commercial Club: Dra¬ matics Club; Assistant Advertising Manager, Junior Class Play. “Katy” has been an active member of our class, always willing to work when called upon. Everybody knowing her is sure to like her for her pleasant man¬ ner. She is always seen with Lucile, and like her, she also wants to be a private secretary some day. We’re with you both. William Dreves— “Bill” Good folks are scarce — Take care of me!” Secretary-Treasurer, Hi-Y, ’27; Fighting Fifty; An¬ nual Staff; Social Committee 2A; Flower Committee; Senior Day Committee. Bill is a great chap and a friend to all his class¬ mates. He took great interest in his class affairs and was always willing to “help out.” Bill’s ambition is to save enough money to make weekly trips to Chicago— Why?—Now, why bring that up? Bill is going with Dick to Purdue to study engineering. | Twenty-eight] Robert T. Ball—“B ob” ’ The great end of life is not knowledge, but action.” President, Fighting-Fifty, 1A; Vice-President, Fight¬ ing-Fifty, 2A; Varsity Football, ’25, ’26; Track, ’27; Interclass Basketball; Pennant Conference Committee; Hi-Y. “Bob” is one of our popular members and he has taken an active part in all our class activities, espe¬ cially the parties. He was one of our outstanding foot¬ ball and track men; but did you ever know a Ball who wasn’t ? “Bob” wants to go to Iowa State with Ralph next year, and we know he is just the person to go and make good. Hallette Johnson—“H alifax” rr In the clear heaven of her delight fid eye, An angel—guard of love and graces lie ,” Rah! Rah! Club; Annual Staff; Pennant Staff; An¬ nouncement Committee; Vice-President, 1A: Dramatics Club; Girl Reserves. “Halifax,” one of the best workers of our class, is always busy and active and an ardent supporter of the team. However, her correspondence has kept her too busy to make very many intimate friends in school. Too bad he doesn’t live in Elkhart, Hallette! Her am¬ bition is to become an authoress. Ralph M. Ball ” A town that boasts inhabitants like me Can have no lack of good society.” Varsity Football, ’26; Track, ’27; Interclass Basket¬ ball; Secretary, Fighting-Fifty; Hi-Y; Pennant Con¬ ference Committee. Ralph is one of those boys who says, “It is to work, but not too hard.” But when it comes to writ¬ ing up articles for Journalism he is “Johnny-on-the- Spot.” We fear he is going to be a great rival of Irvin Cobb. And did you ever see Ralph go down the hall without a smile? Smiles are his specialty, and “Good-Nature” is his middle name. Carolyn M ' o berg By her virtues magnified, Always quiet and dignified.” Pennant Weekly Staff Typist; Commercial Club. Carolyn is a loyal member of the Commercial Club, being one of the causes for its success. During the four years she has been a rather quiet member of the class, not playing a very large part in its activities. However, her place of glory is the typewriting room where she can do anything on the typewriter but make it talk. Henry Sykes—“H ank” ”A modest man never talks of himself.” Hi-Y; Interclass Track, ’27. Quiet and dignified, earnest at his work and a good student, everybody has a good word for Henry. We like his smile, his good looks, and his refined nature. “Hank’s” expectations are to become president of a life insurance company some time in the next ten years, and from his success in school we know that he will not fail. [Twenty-nine] irvc TAX X VLJT jgyr E JMNANl S-M- - ' -r- ■ ' - Paul D. Stephenson— “Stevie” If thou dost play with him at any game, Thou art sure to lose.” Football, ’24, Game Captain, ’ ball, ’24, ’26; Fighting-Fifty, ’25, ’26, ’27; Basketball, ’25, ’26; 26, ’27; Track, ' 27; Interclass Basket- Interclass Track, ' 25, ’26; President ’27; Hi-Y; Annual Staff. Paul is a timid and shy chap, but a favorite with everyone. He is an ‘all-round” fellow, always ready to do what he is asked and do it well. He will always be remembered for his athletic ability. Paul is famous for his good nature. He plans to go to Chicago Uni¬ versity in the fall. Angeline D. Ball— “Eenie” T love tranquil solitude And such society As is quiet, wise, and good.” “Eenie” has been with us only three years because she is a Roosevelt Pirate, and we think that they send some pretty nice Pirates for E. H. S. to take care of and finish educating. Although not so out¬ standing in class activities, “Eenie” has been a loyal member of our class, and we are mighty proud to have 6r + W i t n V s ' says she is not £ oin S away to school next fall but is going to stay home. Don’t work too hard. Eenie.” Frederick Mathias— “Fred” rr For he is just the quiet kind, His nature never varies.” Basketball, 25, ’26, ’27, ’28; Interclass Track, ’25; Interclass Basketball, ’24, ’25; Hi-Y; Annual Staff. Fred is going to be a lawyer, but hasn’t decided what schoo! he is going to attend. He is one of those likeable chaps with an irresistible smile and an ardent supporter of any school activity. Fred’s perseverance, which kept him out for basketball for three years, should enable him to reach fame, no matter what the obstacle. Catherine Sultzman 1 ou ve got to show me, I’m from Missouri.” Commercial Club. Due to the fact that Catherine has just hooked up with our class, we have not had much time to get acquainted. However, she is full of pep and of a very inquisitive nature, which is only natural when one realizes where she came from. By all appearances, Catherine seems to have known the best place to graduate, and we are only sorry that she did not find it out sooner. Howard Godfrey— “Howdie” And the maidens earnestly listened.” Band and Orchestra; Social Committee ’22, ’23. Like many others, “Howdie” just joined our class this year, coming to get those few, much-needed credits. We all feel, however, that he has the ability if not the inclination for study. Howard was always associated with Junior, and he seems rather at a loss with Junior gone. Now he is generally seen with Jane in his little green Ford. Next year will find him at Ann Arbor. We wish you luck, “Howdie.” [Thirty] ZifVC JTA.X XYIIX |PEN.NANT.„ Richard Berkey—“D ick” To be or not to be—that is the question.” IB, 2B, 1A Treasurer; Social Committee, 2C: An¬ nouncement Committee; Fighting Fifty; Glee Club. Dick is the life of our class. He has a head to contrive, a tongue to persuade, and a hand to execute anything. His presence alone at class parties has made them enjoyable, not to mention the offices he has held. Dick has been active warbling in the Glee Club. Ruth B, Geyer rr Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit.” Annual Staff. Ruth was one of our studious members though always full of fun at the right time. She is one of those girls who can’t help having many friends be¬ cause of her most pleasing personality. Her hobby is going to all the football and basketball games and we’ll admit she certainly was a loyal rooter. Ruth is coming back to school next year and take the subjects she hasn’t already taken. Don’t you think she de¬ serves another diploma after that? Theodore Arlook—“T ed” By the work, one knows the workman.” Orchestra. “Ted” has always minded his own business while a member of our class, and though he did not take a very active part in class affairs he was a person who could be called upon. He always has a smile for everyone and that’s just what we like about him. “Ted” says he is going to Indiana U. next fall and take up the medical course. Whatever he chooses to do, we know he will make his mark. Helen Andrewson The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” Home Economics Club; Glee Club. To Helen belong three qualities—her ability of friendliness, her pleasing smiles, and her loyalty to the class. I’m sure we all wish we could possess all three of these. However, we admire Helen because she does. Helen is the second member of our class who has said she is going to Ann Arbor to take up nursing, and it certainly is delightful work for such a girl. We hope to hear more of you some day, Helen. Paul K. Welter—“F at” The first in banquets, but the last in fight.” Fighting Fifty; Hi-Y; Football, ’25, ’26: Interclass Basketball, ’24, ‘25, ’26. Paul was a loyal supporter at the class parties and in our activities. As you know, Paul was a member of our grid heroes for two years, and we will admit he certainly was an old faithful. Paul says he has decided to go to Purdue after he leaves E. H. S. and take up the study of home-building. [Thirty-one] Mary E. Whitney And oh! she dances such a way .” Rah! Rah! Club; Pennant Weekly Staff, ’25, ’26, ’27; Annual Staff; Social Committee, ’25, ’26, ’27; Art Club. Mary says her hobby is dancing and she certainly knows how—and how! When any new steps come out she is the one who does them. Mary has been one of our active members, and when any help was needed all we had to do was call on her. Mary says she would like to go to Ann Arbor next year and study nursing. Well, we hope Mary gets to go, and we’re sending that friend “Success” with you, Mary. Gene Deny— “Dense” 7 looked—she fell.” Interelass Basketball, ’25, ’26; Varsity Track, ’26, ’27; Fighting Fifty; Football, ’26. “Gene” takes a high place in our class records as one of our leading athletes. For two years he has represented Elkhart in state and national meets as a relay man. However, he does not let this interfere with other activities as is known by one fair dame. Gene expects to attend Iowa State next year. Martha Jane Brockman— “Janie” r Her flights she had, and wit at will, And so her tongue lay seldom still.” Ring and Pin Committee; Social Chairman 1A; Art Club; Rah! Rah! Club; Prom Committee. “Janie” came to E. H. S. two years ago from Uni¬ versity City High School, St. Louis, Missouri, and has been a very popular and active class member. Her hobby seems to be a certain Ford coupe whose owner attends E. H. S. only one-half day. “Janie” is planning on going East to school from Detroit, Michigan, where she is moving after graduation. Wayne Forney— “Fornie” 7 know it is a sin, For me to sit and grin.” Football, ’24, ’25, ’26; Track, ’23; Glee Club. Fornie is one of our handsome and “serious” foot¬ ball heroes. His hobby is going to dances, and the fairer sex fairly adore ’ his dancing. He is generally found at Charlotte s. He says that he is going to Goshen College next year to study Horticulture. And how! Make room for a man.” Bible Study; President, IB; Fighting Fifty; Glee Club; “The Freshie.” Dale is one of the quiet members of the class, keeping within the saying, “Be seen and not heard.” He has been heard though, while holding down one of the baritone berths in the Glee Club. Dale’s great ambition in life is to add Reverend to bis already clean name. Next year he is planning to go to D? Pauw, where he will take up this work. Luck to you. Dale. We surely need them. Dale White [Thirty-two] Mary Teeter rr Self help has accomplished about all the great things in the world.” Mary is another one of the ladies who have the color of hair that gentlemen prefer. She has always gone through the halls, never bothering anyone else but giving people a cheery smile. She was quiet and reserved. Mary has gone to California now. Don’t go to Hollywood, Mary. G. Robert Le Fevre— “Clayte” rr The answer to a maiden’s prayer.” Secretary, 2B; Secretary-Treasurer, Hi-Y; Prom Committee; Interclass Basketball, ’24. What would class parties be without him is the thought of all. Bob and his big powerful Haynes are always on hand when there’s a blowout or dance in the gym, for his dancing is the envy of every boy and the joy of every girl. However, when not busy dancing or drawing pictures, he is a good studious student. He was a willing helper and always showed the kind of spirit needed to make the class a success. Ilah Kime rr She has the proper spirit.” Commercial Club. Ilah has been one of our quieter classmates, though she is always ready for fun at the right time, and we certainly admire her for that quality. Ilah says she expects to find her career in the business world, and we are all sure she will reach the top, for a steady de¬ termined spirit always wins and Ilah possesses that determination. Charles Gearheart— “Charley” rr I am sure care is the enemy of life.” Fighting Fifty. Charles can make anyone believe that the moon is made of green cheese or that black is white. Further¬ more, one can’t tell when “Charley” is serious about what he says. He and “Jim” are pals, and the latest report is that these two are going to Brazil to mine diamonds. Bring back a few, won’t you, “Charley?” No sinner or saint perhaps, But — well, the very best of chaps.” Interclass Basketball, ’25, ’26, ’27; Social Commit¬ tee, 1A. Bob has been a very loyal class member attending all the meetings and parties. His hobby is eating chocolate tin roof sundaes at the North End, where many an innocent person is accosted with “Lend me a dime?” or “Gotta couple cents I can have?” Never¬ theless Bob intends to be a doctor and is going to Indiana U. next September to begin studying for his chosen career. Robert E. Haworth—“B ob” [Thirty-three] X Lloyd Wallace— “Waddy” ’’He served with glory and admired success.’ ' Interclass Basketball, ’23: Varsity Basketball, ’24, ’25, ’26; Tennis, ’23, ’24, ' 25, ’26; Interclass Track, ’23, ’24; Varsity Track, ’26; Fighting Fifty; Winner of St. Joe Valley Tennis Tournament, ’26. When anyone thinks of Lloyd, they invariably think of tennis. For four years he has represen ted Elkhart in the scholastic tournaments and has always come out on top or close to it. Next to tennis Lloyd likes to hang around the weaker sex during his odd hours. Next year Lloyd intends to honor Illinois with his presence, where we are sure he will make history for himself. Golda Fetters— “Goldie” ’’She has a voice of gladness and a smile.” Commercial Club. “Goldie” has been one of the sweet and quiet mem¬ bers of our class. She knows her own business and goes about it in her own way. Because of her modesty she has not risen to the height of which she is capable. She is going to seek an office job when she leaves these doors of learning, and we know her ready smile and ability will win her the right position. Earl R. Burger— “Rev.” ’’Principle is ever my motto, not expediency.’ Track, ’26, ’27; Football, ’26, ’27. Earl is one of the members of our Blue Avalanche, but due to an entanglement one day while scrimmag¬ ing, he fell on his arm and fractured it and was forced to sit on the side lines for the rest of the season. We were all sorry for the mishap and surely missed Earl’s support to the team. We must not forget to mention Earl’s record as a track man because he surely has a fine one. J u anita Mishler —“Wanny” ”l’m bent on seeing sights, And running o’er with questions.” Girl Reserves. Outward appearances are sometimes deceiving. To most people, “Wanny” seems very quiet but—“Still waters run deep.” We have to know her well to really appreciate her. When we think of Juanita we think of Chlorice for they are never apart. Her ambition is to b ecome a first-class bookkeeper. Wilbur Keene—“F at” If the world is kind, I might graduate.” Fighting Fifty. The old saying, “Fat men are always happy,” fits Wilbur, with his smiling and humorous nature. He is an especially distinguished member of the class due to the fact that he is one of the few who own the good-looking ( ?) Fords around school. During the four years Wilbur has been a loyal member of the class, and in general was an all-round good fellow. | Thirty-lour j George Kehres— “Shorty” rr Small, but so is a stick of dynamite. Fighting Fifty, Treasurer; Hi-Y; Art Club. Shorty” is one of the small but mighty men of our class, a good student with time for fun. Although rather quiet, he has made many friends while in school and is well liked by all. George has not yet decided on his life work, but we are sure he will make a big hit in anything he proposes to do. Janet Overlease Small, cute and musical, With glowing lips; Sings as she skips .” Rah! Rah! Club; Social Chairman, IB; Annual Staff; Girl Reserves; Social Committee, 1C, 2C; Ring and Pin Committee. Janet has always been one of the peppy members of our class, taking an active part in school affairs and always talking. Lately, though, she seems more set¬ tled, on what or whom—we wonder! She and “Mickey” are inseparable, their only disagreement being which is preferable—blonds or brunettes. Their destination is Paris. Kenneth Truex— “Kenny” What may he be, who knows?” Interclass Track, ’25, ’26; Interclass Basketball, ’25, ’26. Kenny” is one of these conservative persons but a good and likeable student, whose good qualities will help him to attain his ambition and to be a success. Good luck and best wishes to you, “Kenny,” and we know our class will be proud of whatever you un¬ dertake. Lillian F. McMinnis— “Mickey” She’s the loveliest lassie that trips on the green; Her smile is the loveliest that ever was seen. Rah! Rah! Club; Annual Staff; Social Committee, 2C, IB; Girl Reserves, ’23, ’24. Mickey,” although not so active in school affairs, is very active in certain other affairs (if we may call them that). She has a mania for clothes, and we all admit she has fine taste. She expects to go to Chicago for a while and later to Paris with Janet— lucky girls! Anyway, we all love Mickey’s” sweet disposition and readiness to help in all affairs. Chester Seilon— “Chet” Friends, teachers, janitors, I am no ordinary man.” Glee Club; “H. M. S. Pinafore.” Due to the fact that Chet” spent part of his school career in California, he has not been with us the four years, but he has always taken part in class activities. We don’t know whether it got too hot for him or not on the Gold Coast, but we are surely glad he has come back to graduate from Elkhart High. [Thirty-five j Donald Martin— “Don” ’ r Modesty makes us think there is something very nice beneath it.” Fighting Fifty. “Don” is one of these likeable chaps with an irre¬ sistible smile and rosy cheeks. His presence in class¬ rooms has made school much more enjoyable. Donald specialized in chemistry and intends to enter Purdue University next fall to study it. We expect that we will soon hear of you making gold from base metals, “Don.” Bonnie Brownell Like a doll she sat demurely On the sofa thinking surely.” Commercial Club. A pretty and sweet member of our class is “Bonnie.” Rather quiet but nevertheless well-liked by all. She always has a smile, and we are sure her personality and training in commercial work will win her the position she desires. Donald Ktme Silence is deep as Eternity, speech is shallow as Time.” Track, ’26, ’27. Donald is one of the quiet pirates but we are all proud to say that he graduated with the class of ’28. Donald is one of those boys who, when he sets out to do a thing, hits the mark. He says that after he graduates he is going to take up scouting, and isn’t he just the boy who would? We think that is a fine goal, Donald. Lucile Schramm— “Cile” Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate.” Commercial Club; Dramatics Club; Glee Club; Pen¬ nant Staff; Annual Staff. “Cile” love s to work and is never unoccupied. She can usually be found in the Pennant office where she writes headlines and makes up the Exchange column. She tells us that next year will find her keeping books. Don’t run off with your employer, “Cile.” Lyle Melkus Behold a man to his work so true; What’s fair and right he’s determined to do.” Interclass basketball, ’24; Basketball, ’25; Interclass Track, ’26 ; Hi-Y. Nature blessed Lyle with a lot of wits, good com¬ mon sense, initiative, and a permanent wave, the envy of every girl in E. H. S. He always has a good story to tell anyone who comes within close range. Furthermore, it isn’t always the same story, either. Story-telling to him is an art.

He is hard working and conscientious. While in high school, he has specialized irt the line of science. He plans to go to Canada and study for an agriculturist, and we’re all waiting until we can go to visit him on his country estate. Chlorice Lacey A girl worth while is the girl with a smile.” Chlorice is friendly to everyone, especially her type¬ writer. What a stenographer she can be if some man doesn’t spoil it all! She is always most agreeable and well liked by everyone. She is seen with Juanita, morning, noon, and night. We have no idea what Chlorice is planning for the future but we trust it will include Juanita. | Ethel Mae Mott Find your niche and fill it.” Commercial Club. Ethel is another one of those busy persons, who are taking up commercial work. She comes early and stays later; her fingers always busy and no doubt her tongue, too. to get those letters in before the end of the week. When you see Ethel, you may be sure Delia is somewhere around. Ruth Merkling I smile, for hope hath a happy place with me.” Dramatics Club. Ruth loves to read and to take music lessons, and if she keeps this up in the future we’re all sure Ruth will make a success of life. Ruth has not been real active in class activities, but she has been with us since we were struggling Centralites, and we are proud to claim Ruth as a member. Philip Dalee—“P hil” A rooter for the football team With loud hurrah and sudden scream.” “Phil” is a modest fellow but nevertheless is a loyal student and an ardent follower of athletics. He has never been very active in class affairs, but you have never seen a football or basketball game that he hasn’t attended. Philip will enter the University of Michigan next fall. [Thirty-seven] Arthur Kinney—“A rt” Little do we know and hear of him But much do we expect of him.” Social Committee, 2C. “Art” is one of the most studious members of our class. He is seldom seen at athletic meets and class parties, but his ability to help a student in distress has saved many a “Waterloo.” “Art” intends to work for a year before leaving for Halls of Greater Knowledge. Elma Myers She’s quite a self-determined person Elma is another girl from the “show me” state, and seeing that she came all this way to graduate from E. H. S., we feel that everyone should get acquainted with her. She seems to be a good student with time for fun, and we are glad to have her in our class. Marion Fox—“F oxy” There is something in him more than natural. ’ “Foxy” came to Elkhart the first of his junior year and since then has made himself a likeable student in our class, especially among the weaker sex. We’re certainly glad we were lucky enough to get him. Marion intends to work for a year before going to college. Helen Richwine The reward of a thing well done is to have it done.” Commercial Club. Because of her sweet disposition and her willingness to help her fellow classmen, Helen is liked by every¬ one. She was our expert at shorthand, and while the rest of us would be racing to take the teacher’s dic¬ tation, Helen could enjoy watching the rest of her poor classmates. Helen is going to be a stenographer when she finishes school and we know she will come out on top. Maurice Davis—“S horty” It is in general more profitable to reckon up our defects than to boast our attainments.” Football, ’27; Wrestling, ’27, ’28. Maurice is that modest gentleman who is said to be one of our best wrestlers. He tells us that his hobby is eating—and lots of it. Shorty” expects to be an electrical engineer in the dim, dark future. We wish him all kinds of luck in his career. W l B E R PER VE R IT-ATE W r£xl_ [Thirty-eight] Theresa Morris— “Treat” rr Smiles shorten the miles.” Commercial Club; Pennant Weekly Typist. Theresa has many accomplishments. She can type, play the violin, smile, and be altogether agreeable. Besides she makes E’s continually. She will have credits to spare when graduation time comes, just when some people will wish they had an extra one. Perhaps one of these days some well known violinist will discover Theresa, and then she will be known the world over. Lillian A. Oliver—“L ill” Happy am I, from care I’m free! Why aren’t they all contented like me?” Rah! Rah! Club; Orchestra; Dramatics Club; “Hearts to Mend” ; Music Club. Lillian has not been very active in our class affairs, but we certainly have enjoyed having her with us because of her sweet personality and happy ways. She says her hobby is to write poetry and make up funny plays, which is, assuredly, characteristic of her. So if ever you want any poetry or funny plays written for special occasions, you know where to go. Lillian wants to be a great violinist some day, and we’ll all agree that she surely has the talent. Hollis Doriot— “Holly” Very quiet and sedate.” Commercial Club. “Holly” has been kept out of many of the class functions by illness, and for this we are sorry, for we are sure she would have been valuable. Her quiet ways have won for her many acquaintances and friends who all say that she is a good sport. She tells us that next year she will be busy in some office. Eleanor M. Garen A silent maid is more admired than a noisy one.” Eleanor has only been in E. H. S. one and a half years, having come from Garrett, Ind., where she was a member of several organizations. Although we are not very well acquainted with her we are sure she had many friends at Garrett. She intends to enter “Wesley,” a Chicago school for nurses. Jeanne Miriam Sager Liberal hands make many friends.” Jeanne is of a quiet and thoughtful disposition. She is a commercial student like so many of our honorable Seniors. Her ambition is to be a private secretary. Somehow or other, we shall have to invent some business men (mechanical or otherwise) so that all the stenographers will be able to find positions. [Thirty-nine] January Class History efl© W E were an unorganized group of pirates entering the ' Sea of High School” four years ago, January, 1924. Our aim, we decided, would be to prepare ourselves and the good ship E. H. S.” for the voyage to secure the treasure located at the Port of Graduation.” At the end of the first year we were joined by another group of pirates from the good ship Roosevelt” who were also determined to reach the same port. In the latter part of February, 1925, we pirates came to the decision that the most proper thing to do before we set sail would be to select officers for our good ship. By a majority vote of all pirates present, Paul K. Noel was chosen our captain; Edson Fish, our first mate; Phyllis Helfrick, second mate; Harriet Ferris, the keeper of the log book; Paul Stephenson, keeper of the treasure chest. As we had to have some social activities, our officers met later and appointed Janet Overlease as chairman of our social commit¬ tee, with James Neale, Wilma Brown, and Hazel Dougherty as her as¬ sistants. The following morning, bright and early with all pirates on board, we sailed out of the harbor (leaving all freshman traits behind) and into the rougher sea of High School.” As it was necessary to have provisions to keep the .good ship E. H. S.” in running order, we decided to tax all pirates fifty cents per semester. This fee was collected by Paul Stephenson, our worthy keeper of the treas¬ ure chest. About two months later, life on board was getting tiresome, and as we had to land soon in order to replenish our provisions, we steered into the port of Blosser’s Park and participated in a rollicking skating party. Wc all had lots of fun bumping into each other and eating apples between times. The faculty members of our good ship E. H. S. who chaperoned this successful party were Miss King, Miss Cunningham, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Noel, our worthy captain. About ten-thirty p. m. the ship took up anchor and rolled out into the sea. The end of the semester was drawing near, and we began to realize that all pirates had to get down to intensive work to make preparations for walking the plank” (final examinations), for the members of the faculty did not seem to have pity on us poor pirates. At the beginning of the fall term, September 22, we reorganized our crew and this time chose as our worthy captain, Warren Heestand; first t Forty] mate, James Neale; second mate, Phyllis Helfrick; keeper of the log book, Paul Stephenson; keeper of the treasure chest, Edson Fish; and social chairman, Harriet Ferris. November 10, 1925, we sailed into another port, namely the Y. W. C. A., all dressed up for a backwards” party. Every pirate was required to wear his costume backwards. It was also a skating party and our fellow- mate, Edson Fish, showed the crew his skill by skating backwards. Refresh¬ ments consisting of popcorn and candy were served. There was also cake for the cake-eaters.” At nine-thirty p. m. the cry of all aboard” was heard and we again set sail. We now realized that the time was again rolling near for the semi¬ annual walking of the plank.” Consequently we all studied furiously. Thus our activities for the semester ended. On February 12, 1926. we elected new officers for our good ship with results as follows: Captain, Mr. Miller; first mate, Edson Fish; second mate, James Neale; keeper of the log book, Phyllis Helfrick; keeper of the treasure chest, Richard Berkey; and social chairman, Janet Overlease. To sail the sea for two years had required much energy and as we began our third year in the Sea of High School” we realized that the course mapped out for us for the next two years would be very treacherous. We will have to watch our charts and maps very closely to reach the port at the designated time,” was the remark the captain made to all pirates. This announcement was posted on the bulletin board, May 7, 1926: All pirates meet tonight on the deck for a skating party and wiener roast. A good time is assured, so everybody be on deck.” In cabin 301 September 17, 19 26, the pirates had an election of officers for the final semester of our third year. They were as follows: Mr. Miller, captain; Phyllis Helfrick, first mate; Edson Fish, second mate; Robert Le Fevre, keeper of the log book; Richard Berkey, keeper of the treasure chest; and James Neale, social chairman. Seeing that our class of pirates had gone for two and one-half years without any emblems our officers met and chose a committee consisting of Martha Jane Brockman, chairman, Arden Crawford, and our worthy captain, Mr. Miller. November 6th this committee met representatives [Forty-one] from various firms. After three hours and a half deliberation, they finally reached an agreement and chose pins and rings from a Chicago jeweler. These were promised to be delivered before Christmas. We met February 4, 1927, in cabin 301 to select new officers to pilot our ship for our first semester as seniors. The following pirates were elected: Captain, Mr. Miller; first mate, Arden Crawford; second mate, Hallette Johnson; keeper of the log book, Arlene Klingler; keeper of the treasure chest, Richard Berkey, and social chairman, Martha Jane Brock¬ man. In order to raise money for the prom we pirates gave our junior class play entitled ' The Youngest, in the auditorium of the good ship, E. H. S.” April 1st. The Tavern at Christiana Lake was the port our good ship sailed into Decoration Day for the Junior-Senior Prom. About six-thirty the call to dinner was heard and a mad rush” for the dining room was made. At nine p. m. the dance began. Upon leaving all pirates proclaimed that the Prom was certainly a success. On the twenty-third day of September we pirates met again to elect officers to pilot our ship through our last semester on the Sea of High School.” We unanimously elected Mr. Miller again as our worthy captain; Arden Crawford, first mate; second mate, James Neale; keeper of the log book, Arlene Klingler; keeper of the treasure chest, Herbert Burkhart, and social chairman, Richard Kirkwood. An auction sale was the first attraction of a joint Hallowe en party of lA’s and 2A’s held October 29th in the gym of our good ship. Each person was given fifty dollars with which to bid and nearly everyone receiv ed a package containing something. Cos¬ tume prizes were accorded to four pirates. Pumpkin pie, cider, and apples were served. We were now nearing the end of our journey on the Sea of High School.” Our aim was nearly complete. The Port of Graduation” was a reality and we saw for the first time THE TREASURE—OUR DIPLOMA.” Now we are not pirates of the good ship E. H. S.” (much to our regret) but Alumni of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-eight. Ruth Geyer Lucile Schramm r Forty-two] January Class Prophecy ef}® T HE lounge of the transatlantic airship was moderately filled. As we were nearing Paris, most of the passengers were discussing what they were going to do upon their arrival and where they would stay. One middle-aged man said he was going to stay at the Chez Pierre which was managed by a friend. Being a stranger and welcoming suggestions, I de¬ cided I might as well stay there too. The plane stopped at London for a few minutes to discharge passen¬ gers, so I stepped out to look at a plane which was standing near ours. As I was looking in the pilot’s cab, someone touched my shoulder and said, Pardon my intrusion, but are you from Elkhart, Indiana? When I looked at him closely, I recognized him as Fred Mathias who had graduated in the class of ’28. I asked him what he was doing in this part of the world. He said that he was a pilot of the Martin Airway corporation that plyed between New York and Lo ndon. The owner, Donald Martin, was also a graduate in our class. I bade good-bye to him and asked him to look me up when he got back to New York. We then resumed our journey and arrived in Paris a few hours later. When I reached my hotel I found that Henry Sykes and Richard Berkey were the owners. I was a little surprised because I didn’t think they were over here, but in twenty years many things can happen. I met Hank and Dick, who showed me my room. A New York paper was lying on the table, so I picked it up and glanced through it until I came to the editorial page where I noticed that Edson Fish was editor. On the next page was the theatre advertisements. At the Davis Theater, Dale White’s Scandals of ’48’’ was the sensation of the town. Jimmy Neale and Janet Overlease were headlining the show. As I glance over the cast, I recognized several more members of my class of ’28: Carolyn Moberg, Lillian McMinnis, Violet Johnson, and Lucile Schramm. At dinner time I went into the main dining room and heard Howard Godfrey’s Blue Blowers. Between numbers when several entertainers ap¬ peared, I recognized Chet Seilon as one of the comedians. The Olympic Games were in progress, so I decided I would attend them the following day. As I was leaving the hotel I met Robert Le Fevre in the lobby, and he said he would accompany me to the games. We dis- f Forty-three] cussed old times on our way to the stadium and talked about the athletes of our class who were on the Olympic team this year. They were the Ball brothers, Paul Welter, Paul Stephenson, Earl Berger, Bud Burkhardt, and Wayne Forney. Th e sensation of the meet was the Davis Cup Team com¬ posed of Arden Crawford and Lloyd Wallace. After the games Bob and I returned to our hotel to talk over old times with Hank and Dick. I asked Dick if he knew where any of our class were. Sure,” said Dick, Mary Whitney now is a leading dancer in a cabaret. You remember Kenneth Truex, don’t you? He’s one of our most famous surgeons now. Do you know any news, Bob?” Yes, Charles Ludwig is a big lawyer in Chicago, and right now he has one of the biggest cases that has ever been known in the United States. Who would have thought Charley would make a lawyer? How about you, Hank?” Oh, me?” Hank said. Yes, I saw Bill Dreves over here on a vacation. He told me he was going to retire as he had made enough money as a sani¬ tary engineer. He sure got along great. You remember Bob Haworth, don’t you? Well, he is now a foreign buyer of clothes for Houseworth’s Clothes Shop in New York. Arlene Klingler is a great pianist over here. Last week she played at a performance given before the King of England.” You know, fellows,” I said, It seems to me there were some others in our class. Where are Wilbur Keene and George Kehres?” Oh! Those two? Haven’t you heard? They were married and are liv¬ ing in California now,” Bob replied. All of a sudden Hank exclaimed, Well! well! Look who’s here! If it isn’t Martha Jane Brockman and Lyle Melkus! What do you suppose they are doing here? Hey, Lyle! Come here.” Lyle and Martha Jane came over, and after a happy meeting we told them we were talking about our class of ’28. Martha Jane said, Do you know Chlorice Lacey and Juanita Mishler have one of the most exclusive beauty shops in New York? You remember Ruth Merkling? She is writ¬ ing novels. Her latest one is Sentimental Mike.” Lyle couldn’t stand it any longer and just had to break in and say, You remember Marian Fox? He is now head of a national system of dry cleaning establishments. He is considered one of the richest men in America.” We all had dinner together and talked over many of the good times we had in good old E. H. S. Just before we parted we drank a toast to the continued success of the class of ’28. —Richard Kirkwood, ’ 28 . [Forty-four] January Class Will ®{}® W E, the January class of ’28, being without body and mind and realizing that we are soon to evacuate the exalted seats of seniordom, do hereby make our last will and testament. All other documents are to be considered null and void. To Mr. Holdeman we leave all desks upon which have been inscribed our deepest thoughts. To our faculty we will the memory of Howard Godfrey who has so long been in their presence. To the Juniors we leave something for which we do not care and which has little value. Upon the Sophomores we do hereby bestow our unsurpassable knowledge, and to the Freshmen we leave our grown-upness” which they seem to need. To Miss Kelly we will a portable Victrola that never runs down (as per request). To all future class officers we leave Edson Fish’s executive ability. To Miss Van Nuys we do lovingly bequeath all those with the ability to think. To one, Mr. Sproull, we leave our greatest admiration and esteem. To some class, who in the future is in need of a good sponsor, we leave Mr. Miller. Upon all football players, who are in need of them, we do bestow all extra credits, hoping there will not be many needed, as our supply is limited. To all future will-writers we leave our utmost sympathies. To Miss Cunningham we give any surplus treasury money to be used for the sole purpose of buying erasers and chalk. To Wilbur Jones we leave all session room cut-ups.” To Mr. Peterson we will to-morrow” to decide what he would like in the Class Will. Personal bequests as follows: To T. J. Charlesworth, Arden Crawford leaves his height, that he may turn off the light in the Pennant office without physical endangerment. To Annabelle Wyatt, Jimmy” Neale leaves his large feet. Henry Sykes leaves his ability to blush to Mary Berkey, hoping it will come in handy. The small amount of egotism and tiny ears of little Bobby” LeFevre are lovingly given to Robert Horn. Robert Haworth wills to Maurie” Babcock his villain hair. Martha Jane Brockman wills to Bob Stewart her ability to carry on a conversation. To Tubby” Wagner we will and bequeath Robert and Ralph Ball’s athletic ability. We know he will aspire to better them. From Richard Berkey all under-classmen receive a humorous appreciation of life. To Tommy Proctor, whose beaming countenance now graces our halls, Paul Stephenson bequeaths his somber dignity. To John Horn and Dari Shank, Wayne Forney leaves his ways with wimmin,” to be divided equally. To Maggie” Oliver we will our speakers’ stand, knowing that she will use to the best advantage. To all underclassmen we will our good old ship, E. H. S. Janet Overlease Mary Whitney . XU LJBERTAS PER VER f Forty-five] [Forty-six] June Class of 1928 Class Colors —Surf and Seraph. Class Motto —Not Finished; Just Begun. Class Flower —Lilies of the Valley and Sunburst Rose. e |}0 We entered the halls of Elkhart High, Learning much as days went by, Learning that we, the lowly Freshmen, Proved to the Seniors to be one question. Our days as Sophomores soon sped by; Our Junior days came drawing nigh With problems, that to us were stiff and new, But we were glad we could see them through. Now as the last of our school days draw near, It brings the memories of those past years Spent in making our class one of the best, That Twenty-Eight might rank with the rest. To the scholars who’ve attained our scholastic lead, To the athletes who’ve helped Elkhart High to lead, To the others who’ve contributed to our Class Gait” We bow, as your classmates of Twenty-Eight. To the teachers who’ve inspired us to the goal we have attained, To our sponsors who’ve guided us o’er the ground we have gained, To the school which we all sure appreciate We bow, the June class of Twenty-Eight. E. H. S., to you our tributes thus we bring, Trusting somewhat to you our fate, And in your halls may our name ever ring As the June Class of Twenty-Eight. —Clelta Spivey, ’ 28 . [Forty-eight] Miss Bernita Burns ' With eyes that looked into the very soul. ' ' Miss Burns is the faculty advisor of the Annual this year. She has been the main factor of making this year’s Annual the success which we hope it has attained. Miss Burns has been the sponsor of our class for only our Senior year. Although this is true, we have found in one small year a guide and a true friend. Our high school life is nearing its close—now it is ended. Miss Burns, we the Annual staff, also the Senior class of 1928, wish to express our appreciation for your friendly guidance, and your untiring efforts in our behalf. Ralph H. Miller rr Knowledge is power.” 1A, 2A Class President; 2B Class Secretary; IB, 2B Vice-President of Commercial Club; Chairman of Pro¬ gram Committee, Commercial Club; Annual Staff; Football, ’27; Interclass Basketball, ’25, ’26, ’27 ; Scholarship “E”, ’26, ’27; Junior Play; Commercial Contest. Ralph has been a very active member of our class. He has also found time to go out for athletics with no effect on his studies. He is downcast if he fails to make all “E’s,” but this doesn’t happen very often. Ralph is a good leader and makes a fine President for our class. Richard Frederick— “Dick” ”The pathway to power lies through service.” Treasurer 2D, 1C; Vice-President 2C, IB, 2B, 2A; Hi-Y; Glee Club; Forum. As a worker in class affairs, Dick has proved his worth. If all folks would hustle around as fast as Dick does, there’d be fewer failures and lost oppor¬ tunities in this old world. It isn’t any wonder that Richard has so many friends, because he is such good company. It’s the man that can make friends and keep them that gets ahead, so we expect great tri¬ umphs from you, Dick. Nedra Holdeman— “Neddy” ”She mixed reason with pleasure, and wisdom with mirth.” Rah! Rah! Club; Glee Club; Girl Reserves; Annual Staff; Ring and Pin Committee; Announcement Com¬ mittee; Scholarship “E” ’25, ’26, ’27; Pennant Con¬ ference Committee; 1A Social Committee; Secre¬ tary 2 A. Nedra and Helen are as inseparable as the Siamese twins. Nedra is one of our “E” students, but don’t get the idea that she goes around polishing a pair of specs, and laden with books—far from it. Don ' t tell anybody, but we think her secret ambition is to be¬ come governor of Indiana. Oh! well, time will tell! Morris Tuthill— “Mose” rr Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely.” Fighting Fifty; Hi-Y: Business Manager, Pennant Weekly, ’28; Ring and Pin Committee; Football, ’25, ’26, ’27; Junior Class Play; Chorus; Band; Treas¬ urer 2C. Mose is a versatile young man. He can play foot¬ ball, sing, play a trumpet, and have a good time. He also showed us his ability as an actor in the Junior Class play. Some day we’ll probably see Morris in the business world, but now he confines his business mostly to roller skating or ice skating. [Forty-nine] « £■ meNV Xxv UI fpEMNAN Elizabeth Hood Le mx do or die.” Managing Editor of Annual; Literary Editor Pen¬ nant Weekly; Forum; Varsity Debate, ’27; Program Committee of Forus; Manager of Small Properties of Junior Play; Assistant Literary Editor Pennant W eekly. Elizabeth is one of the most, if not the most live- wire member of the class as is shown by the many offices she has held. And by the way—did you ever try to argue with Elizabeth? Well, here and now, I solemnly warn you, don’t try—you are bound to lose. She was born an “arguer” and you will be forced to retreat with your colors dragging in the dust. Wilbur Templin— “Bud” A f riend of high and low and a leader over all” President 2C, IB, 2B; Vice-President 1A: Social Chairman 1C, 2A; Fighting Fifty; Business Manager of Pennant Annual; Ring and Pin Committee; Junior Class Play; Hi-Y; Glee Club; Band, ’24, ’25, ’26; Football, ’25, ’26, ’27; Letter, ’27. “Bud”—Beau Brummel, athlete and leader com¬ bined, is one of the most popular fellows of both classes. Many shall be the feminine sighs heaved as he passes from these portals. A friend of all, he has led the class through all its troubles and good times, always helping it on as his record will testify. Harold Podawiltz— “Podey” Silence is golden.” Football; Wrestling; Track. If E. H. S. would give medals for silence, we feel sure Harold would get the gold medal. It looks as if “Podey” had some practice in being a “caveman,” since he has been on our football and wrestling teams. Harold played a good game of football last year, and he has been able to deal successfully with all his wrestling opponents. Wilbur Nicholas—“W ib” I put all my troubles in a pocket with a hole in it.” Three years at North Liberty High; Basketball, 2 stripes; Interclass basketball. Wilbur is one of our latest friends, but the E. H. S. spirit seems to have got under his skin already. We wish you had joined us sooner, “Wib.” If any young ladies once preferred blond gentlemen, they have probably changed their minds since “Wib’s” arrival. We wish you much happiness, Wilbur, now, and in the years to come. Millicent Bitters—“M illie” Whose every little ringlet thrilled, As if with soul and passion filled.” Rah! Rah! Club; Glee Club; Art Club; Junior Class Play; Orchestra; Dramatics Club; Humor Editor, As¬ sistant Literary Editor, Reporter of Pennant Weekly; Annual Staff; Secretary 2C, 1A; Girl Reserves. Oh, how we envy “Millie” that curly hair. How many half-dollars saved, how many dull headaches from kid curlers, and burns from curling irons kept away! That same curly head can be found at all class parties, candy sales, and athletic games. Millicent has always found class rather easy, even “Trig” and Virgil. Also, Lafayette is quite interesting to Millicent. [Fifty] Isabelle Banes—“I zzy” rr The sunshine of life is made up of very little beams, that are bright all the time.” Treasurer and Vice-President of Rah! Rah! Club, ’26, ’27; Glee Club; Girl Reserves; Annual Staff; Pen¬ nant Reporter; Pennant Conference Committee; Flower Committee; Maids on the Bamboo Screen. If, when walking down the hall, you meet two girls dressed alike and laughing and giggling, you know that you have come upon the famous Banes twins. “Izzy” is always willing to do anything for you, from doing a fancy dance at a class party to selling candy at the games. We don’t know what the school will do without her next year. Walter Compton—“B ud” An able man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions . Forum; Debating; Junior Class Play; Hi-Y; Prom Committee; Annual Staff. “Bud” is the big business man of our class, as we have seen in the Junior class play, where he owned a pin-manufacturing business, or as one of the business men of the Annual. About two years ago, Walter came to us from another class. If all the under¬ classmen would make as efficient members as Walter, we wish they would all migrate to our class. Estelle Banes—“S telle” I am tipsy with laughing.” Rah! Rah! Club; Glee Club; Ring and Pin Commit¬ tee; Girl Reserves; Social Chairman 2B, 1A; Pennant Reporter; Annual Staff; Maids on Bamboo Screen. “Stelle” is one of the peppiest graduates. Her pleasing personality has won and keeps on winning for her hosts of friends. She is always willing to do any task set before her, and she does it well. The class will agree that we never could have got along without her. Charles Val Clear The pen is mightier than the sword.” Vice-President of Art Club, ’2 8; Forum; Hi-Y; Fea¬ ture Editor Pennant Weekly; Art Editor of Annual; Winner of Pennant Story Contest, ’27; Executive Committee of Art Club, ’27; Secretary-Treasurer Forum, ’28. Charles has only been with us two years, but by his record you see he has done a great deal for the school. He seems to have a talent for literature and art, which makes him admired and envied by his fel¬ low-students who expect great things of him in the future. With his art work Charles has done much toward making the Annual a success. Robert Judey—“B ob” How silent, meditative and all, Bob’s thoughts are high because he’s tall.” Tall boys are universally known to be quiet and girl-shy. “Bob” is no exception to the rule. If the gentle reader wishes to become acquainted with- “Bob’s” future plans, he will have to consult “Bob” or his “brother-in-arms,” Ralph Whitehead, for they are the very best of pals. [Fifty-one] Katharine Sears— “Sears” A blithe heart makes a blooming visage.” Rah! Rah! Club: Girl Reserves; Social Committee 2D, 2C, 2B, 1A; Social Chairman IB; Pennant Con¬ ference Committee; Annual Staff. Whenever anybody wants anything done, “Sears” cheerfully consents to do it; or if a car is needed, she is Johnny-on-the-spot with the “Elcar.” Kath¬ arine brightens up the halls and session rooms with her smile and merry chatter, which sometimes is a worry to the teacher in charge, but hush, no more secrets should be let out. Robert Anderson— “Bob” ' Put his shoulder to the wheel.” Interclass Basketball, ’25, ’26, ’27; Football, ’26, ’27; Band; Treasurer 2D, 2C. “Bob” has gone out for athletics with a will, tack¬ ling the dummy in the fall and looping baskets in the winter. Last year “Bob” played basketball and helped to make our squad interclass, basketball “champs.” This year he plays on the varsity squad, and he has been able to make many ringers. Mary Tyler Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.” Rah! Rah! Club; Treasurer IB, 2B; Scholarship “E.” In respect to Mary, the poem “Mary, Mary, quite contrary” could be changed to, Mary, Mary, how does your report card go, with E’s and E-plus all in a row. Mary is one of the bright and shining lights of our class, but that’s not all either. Whenever the class has a candy sale, Mary can be found with a box of candy in hand urging people to buy. Gordon Johnson— “Gordie” Victory belongs to the persevering.” State Champion 440 yard dash, ’27; National Half Mile Relay team, third place, ’27 ; Football letters, ’25, ’26, ’27; Basketball, ’24, ’25, ’26; Track, ’25, ’26, ’27; President 2D: Vice-President 1C; Pennant Weekly Staff; Pennant Annual Staff. Gordon “Athletics” Johnson. Yep! That’s he! Haven’t you heard someone at a football or basketball game say, “Who’s that handsome fellow that plays so well?” Then you answered with pride, “Oh! That’s Gordie Johnson, our star athlete!” Gordie is the Lindbergh of E. H. S., for even when he earns an honor as great as a State Championship, no one would learn it by asking him. Josephine Anderson— “Jo” Striving toward the highest and the best.” Rah! Rah! Club; Glee Club; Maids on Bamboo Screen; Little Almond Eyes; Annual Staff; Junior Class Play; Dramatics Club; Class Color Committee. “Jo’s” dependability and willingness to do well whatever is asked of her have made her a girl that the class of ’28 is proud of. Josephine plans to be a nurse, and we are sure that her capability and cheer¬ fulness will start a good many sick folks on the way to health and happiness. [Fifty-two] Margaret Moyer— “Peg” rr You’ll always find her smiling, never sorry.” Forum; Dramatics Club; Rah! Rah! Club; Girl Re¬ serves; Glee Club; Annual Staff; “The Romancers”; “As Clubs Go.” Margaret has a great many friends and doubtless they all envy her for those dimples in her cheeks. She is one of our ardent athletic fans. But alas! “Peg” is so willing to work that some organization is always calling on her to sell candy or arrange a program. That’s all right. The busiest people are the happiest. Charles Wiley— “Chuck” ’Rome was not built in a day.” Executive Committee and Secretary of Art Club, ’27; Band; Orchestra; Hi-Y; Interclass Track; Stu¬ dent Representative, Basketball, ’27 ; Social Committee IB; Annual Staff; Fighting Fifty. Self-confidence, studying, and a way with the girls are “Chuck’s” well-known characteristics. “Chuck” has helped in everything the class has ever done. Charles has been active in the Art Club also, and he uses his ability in making funny little cartoons and such. Mary Elizabeth Borneman— “Cherub” rr She is the vanilla of society; she flavors everything.” Treasurer Rah! Rah! Club, ’27; Vice-President Rah! Rah! Club, ’26. Ever see Cherub wasting any time? Nope! If she isn’t doing anything else, at least she is thoroughly enjoying herself,—and we’d rather suspect from ap¬ pearances that the thing which gives Mary Elizabeth the most pleasure is going to football games. But this “Cherub” is useful as well as pleasant, for she’s been a loyal class member and a good worker in the Rah! Rah! Club. James Skahen—“J im” ”Utter his thinkings aloud, and they take a shape and being.” Football, ’26, ’27; Interclass Basketball, ’26, ’27; Track, ’27. You all know “Jim,” the tall boy with the fiery sum¬ mit. He is often seen striding down the hall with a group of youths listening to his latest “true story.” He has a great many friends as the result of his happy disposition and his willingness to do anything required of him. Ruth Wahl rr So womanly, so benign and so meek” Commercial Club. Ruth is one of our quiet girls who is nearly always seen engrossed in her studies, except for the time she is occupied with other things. We presume that Ruth will take up some phase of commercial work for awhile at any rate. [ Fifty-three] J3jh. rv - . SVCJAXXYUI ' ' JNIJNfANTM , WT yd _-. • fUSf uwi t I ' Hi Wi im MP ' A A1AA - ' m Ruby Johnson— “Rube” Oh, I am stabbed with laughter!” IB, Social Committee; 2B, Social Chairman; Junior Play Committee; Pennant Reporter, ’27; Glee Club; Rah! Rah! Club; Junior Class Play; Annual Staff Committee; Annual Staff; Girl Reserves. Ruby surely was stabbed with laughter, and we fear the wound was fatal and never will heal. Ruby has a perpetual smile. If you’re feeling blue, just go to Dr. “Rube,” and it won’t be long before you’re going down the hall with a grin that stretches from ear to ear. Raymond Sykes— “Ray” Away with the books Let’s have some fun.” Hi-Y; Social Committee IB, 2B, Chairman 2C; Art Club; Band; Chorus; Football, ’25, ’26. “Ray” is usually seen sauntering into Senior session with the last ring of the bell—that is unless he sees some little girl that he is particularly fond of. Then he stops sauntering and talks until some stern guar¬ dian of the law requests him to pass on quickly. We think his burning passion is West Point. And Howe! Ruth C. Miller— “Ruthie” Gentle in method, resolute in action.” Editor-in-Chief ’27, ’28, Joke Editor ’27, Reporter ’25, ’26 of Pennant Weekly; Rah! Rah! Club; Home Economics Club; Art Club; Girl Reserves. “Ruthie” has made a great climb in journalistic work, from cub reporter to editor-in-chief of Pen¬ nant. Quite an accomplishment, isn’t it? We shouldn’t doubt, but that in later years, we shall be reading editorials from Ruth’s pen in some leading newspaper or the “Woman’s Home Companion.” They will be worth reading, too, as we know from those in the W eekly. Calvin Virgil—“C al” Of simple taste and simple aim But he is always in the game.” Football, ’25, ’26, ’27; Wrestling, ’26. “Silent Cal’s” football record is one of the best we have. We will always remember Cal, who chose to sit back and listen to the noisier members of the class. We haven’t any definite statement from Cal, but we think his hobby is learning to dance. Evelyn Miller The way to gain a friend is to be one.” Art Club; Rah! Rah! Club; Girl Reserves. Need someone to work on a committee or sell candy? Just call on Evelyn. She’s always willing to help. Evelyn is the kind of a friend that we all like. She will share her joys with you or help bear your troubles. She’s a practical miss and yet has enough fun in her to enjoy life to the fullest extent. ITEM [Fifty-four] J. Ross Slabaugh rr Purpose and perspiration are a winning team.” Glee Club; Hi-Y; Band. Ross hails from our friendly rival, Nappanee. We wouldn’t mind having more like him, Nappanee. Ross has stepped right into E. H. S. affairs and is tooting his “barrel-tone” horn in the E. H. S. band. Not only has he proved to be a very good student, but also proved that he can play tennis. Genevieve Rinehart— “Gen” Always merry, never glum, Makes a bright and cheerful chum.” Rah! Rah! Club; Girl Reserves; Junior Class Play; Prom Committee; Forum; Dramatics Club; Pennant Weekly, ’27; Glee Club; Annual Staff; Social Commit¬ tee, ’25 ; Treasurer, ’27; Announcement Committee, ’27; Little Almond Eyes. Genevieve is another student to whom we look with pride. She can be serious or gay, and we like her equally well in either mood. She has a lovely voice and can be found each year in the Glee Cl ub with the rest of the four, singing gaily, or in Dramatics classes. Ralph H ILLMAN- ' “Hilly” Every life has its ups and downs.” 2D, Social Committee; Commercial Club, ’26, ’27; Commercial Club Program Committee, ’26; Secretary of Commercial Club, ’27 ; Orchestra. Ralph has been an active member of our class and also in the Commercial Club and Orchestra. He is one of our dignified Seniors, but he’s always ready for some fun when not working industriously. Ralph is one reason why ladies prefer blondes?? Irene Hosler Her thoughts and conduct are her own.” Commercial Club. Irene has been a faithful member of the Commer¬ cial Club through thick and thin and has stayed with it to the last. She says she wants to be a private secretary. Now I wonder why all the girls want to be private secretaries ? But “wimen is wimen” and they know what they want. Well, if she gets a job with a rich old bachelor, it won’t be long. Otis Thompson— “Otie” It befits a young man to be modest.” Scholarship “E” ’25, ’26, ’27; Annual Staff. There are many good scholars in E. H. S. who make excellent grades, but there are a few who al¬ most never fail to recite when called upon. One of these few is Otis. He has never had less than four E’s since he entered high school. That’s a record underclassmen aim at but seldom break. Yet “Otie” has never been known to be too busy to help some fellow classman that needed assistance. [Fifty-five] Helen Slusser— “Kayo” With volleys of eternal babble And laughter all the while.” Rah! Rah! Club; Annual Staff; Glee Club; Maids on the Bamboo Screen; “Pinafore”; Dramatics Club; Girl Reserves. Helen is one of the active members of our class— if you know what I mean. She is seen always with Nedra, who manages to keep Helen from giggling all the time. We don’t know what Helen’s ambitions are but we can guess—trying to keep quiet may be one of them. Dayton Kreider— “Shorty” On their merits, modest men are silent.” Did you ever see Dayton when he wasn’t smiling? Should say not! But there are brains behind that grin. If you don’t believe it, take a look at his report card, for he’s too modest about it to tell you. And when you see “Shorty” selling candy at the games, look out! All records will be broken. That’s the spirit that makes great men. M, Adelaide Pease The hand that hath made you fair hath made you good.” Did you ever hear Adelaide “stepping on the ivories ?” Adelaide’s hobby is music, and she intends to go away to study that art in a year or so. We know that you certainly will some day become a worthy constellation in the musical firmament, Ade¬ laide, because one who has the perseverance to study music persistently deserves a reward. Herman Moyer— “Herm” We grant although he had much wit, he was very shy in using it.” Herman is taking the Industrial Course and likes machine shop very much. He is usually seen in the Buick going around the corner on two wheels. “Herm” is one of the sober members in our class, putting heart and soul into his work; therefore he is seldom heard from outside recitations. Helen Waugh Language is not only the vehicle of thought, it is a great and efficient instrument in thinking.” Commercial Club; Dramatics Club; Glee Club; Rah! Rah! Club; Girl Reserves; Annual Staff; Motto Com¬ mittee; Oratorical Contest, ’27. Helen just loves to go to football games, but how she hates to get cold. Nature has bestowed a gift of talking upon Helen. Just a minute. We don’t mean the kind of talking you do. We mean as an elocu¬ tionist. Some day, we expect to find Helen, either a soap-box orator or a second Julia Marlowe, preferably the latter. [Fifty-six] Violet Johnson—“V i” rr Happiness is a rare cosmetic.” Forum; Chorus; Commercial Club; Field House Committee; Tennis; Commercial Contest, Mishawaka. Mention “Vi” and we start talking about basket¬ ball, swimming, tennis—sports of all kinds. In other words, she is our girl athlete. She is a good sport— in for all kinds of fun—but that doesn’t mean her re¬ port card suffers. “Vi” is always “Violet on the spot” whether it be selling lollypops or winning a tennis match. Karl Kreider Wherefore, friend and scholar hear the words of wisdom.” Karl is a quiet member of our class, and although he did not take part in the class activities he usually had his lessons. We all like Karl for his modesty and quiet ways which have won him numerous friends. He is fond of basketball, and like some others would like to practice during school hours by making free throws at the waste-paper basket. Velma Fisher— “Jerry” Seek and you shall find.” We know Velma likes to study or she wouldn’t be in E. H. S. She’s a “fisher” of knowledge, and we know she will get it if she has enough patience and perseverence. She is a vital part of the “Fisher Gang” of E. H. S. She has been active in athletics, especially swimming. Marion Fuller— “Bus” Inexhaustible good nature is the most precious gift of Heaven.” Band; Orchestra: IB Secretary; Annual Staff; So¬ cial Chairman; Secretary of Art Club. Haven’t you often wondered what that boy looks like, who hides behind the big horn, which he winds about him? Well, here’s your big chance. Take a good look. Marion certainly has helped to make the E. H. S. band one of the best in this part of the state. “Bus” also organized an orchestra, which has played at many of the school dances. Ella Mae Bontrager Grace was in all her steps and in every gesture dignity.” Chairman of Social Committee, Commercial Club. Ella Mae’s chief hobby is playing the piano. She declares also she will never bob her hair. To have a crowning glory equal to hers is the hope of we un¬ fortunates who have had our heads subjected to the ravages of a barber. [Fifty-sevenJ rtvC JA 5c X v iii 1PENMANT.1 Prudence Ganger— “Prudy Her ways of life are sweet and true. From what we know of “Prudy” she seems to have the makings of a very good class booster. “Prudy,” we are sorry to say, has not been very well known in our class because she only joined this year, but just the same her pleasing ways have won her many friends. h Ernest Bowman— “Ernie” A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck •” Oh, that hair, those eyes! “Ernie,” being one of the curly-haired sheiks of our class, is one of the strongest rivals of Ramon Novarro. Although Ernie has not been particularly active in class activities, we expect much of him, when he gets out into the cruel, cruel world. sorNocu: Mildred Herrington—“M id” Faithful friends are hard to find. ’ Commercial Club. “Mill” is known by her ability as a typist, and she surely can tickle the keys. Whenever called on to do anything, “Mill” always responds. She has always been loyal to the class, and we are glad to have had her for a member of the class of ’28 to help make it the success it is. Max Romaine To me duty comes before pleasure .” Commercial Club. We happen to know that Max has changed his early ambition for being a cowboy since he has looked over the drug store specie, but we’re not sure just to what what line it has turned. He has been a favorite among the feminine gender of the Sophomore class in particular. Viola Zipser—“Z ip” ' Brave and bold.” Viola is some “zip” too when it comes to racing down the halls at the last minute to avoid a tardy slip. Once in a while she tries a little bluff in her studies which is usually called, so she doesn’t depend on this, but resorts to good hard work. TATE 7W rfV . 4 . [Fifty-eight] i lul afl 1 1 %t ' mcNvXxvni |PE JMWANTJ Thelma J.T HORNTON 57?e w kind-hearted and serviceable in all things.” Treasurer, Home Economics 1C; President, Home Economics IB; Rah! Rah! Club; Girl Reserves. Thelma and Katharine are the inseparable pair of our class. Thelma is a very modest girl, and her good deeds in school have not been overlooked. We feel certain that her training in Home Economics is bound to make some man happy the rest of his life. We are sure of your success in feeding men, Thelma. Blaine Howard It pays to be quiet, True depth is gained by it.” Football Letter, ’27. Blaine is a modest chap and doesn’t tell everyone that he has helped carry our football team through a successful season. Blaine doesn’t know what he will do after school days are over, but we would like to see him be an architect or maybe a contractor. Gladys Woker Three-fifths of her, genius, and two-fifths, sheer fudge.” Dramatics Club; Girl Reserves. Gladys came to us this year from Pearl City, Illi¬ nois, but we feel already that she is an old friend, because she has entered into E. II. S. activities with lots of “pep” and “go.” She seems to thoroughly enjoy our class parties and what’s more, she has shown us she can work as well as play. We like your pleasing personality and ready smile, Gladys, and wish you lasting happiness. SOfHOCLt Wayne Howard— “Brute” rr Great oaks from little acorns grow.” Fighting Fifty; Hi-Y; Band. Wayne is the little boy with the big voice. He is the object of much harassing from the bigger boys who treat him rough. “Brute” is well known in E. H. S., and his friends are waiting with interest for the time when he begins to grow. Esther Kantz ' Quiet waters run the deepest.” Esther has shone in a scholarly light in all her subjects. As she is naturally bashful and reserved, we do not know her so well, but we hear good re¬ ports of her. She is a good friend of Helen’s and they make a good pair. . y i ini. LY ■ [Fifty-nine] Ruby Butrick— “Huby” A face with gladness overspread! Soft smiles, by human kindness bred!” Home Economics Club. To this smiling Miss we wish all the happiness in the world. “Huby” was always quiet in the halls and session rooms. We used to be mighty glad when it rained noons so that we were obliged to eat our lunch over in the Central Cafeteria, where “Huby” reigned supreme. A tower of strength.” “Will” is one of our heavy-weight strong men, and that is one of the reasons we are all his friends, and another is that we can’t help but be. He usually seems very sober and studious, but he’s fond of playing jokes on his fellow toilers who take it all in fun, being reassured by “Will’s” hearty laugh and smile. Willard Troyer—“W ill” Lowell Culp Music study exalts life.” Band; Orchestra; Glee Club; Chorus; Operetta; Forum. Lowell has devoted a good deal of his time to music. He played in the Band and Orchestra and sang in the Glee Club and Operettas. He has also found time to do some debating while not zealously preparing his other lessons. He is planning on entering the ministry. Mary Jeanette Miller Serene and kind with a steadfast mind.” Commercial Club; Glee Club; Girl Reserves. The business world will be growing fast when all our E. H. S. students are graduated. One business man’s secretary will be Mary Jeanette. She is one of the many industrious girls who populate the com¬ mercial rooms from morn till night, and by her grades we believe her time was not spent in idleness. The true and good resemble gold.” Commercial Club. Elizabeth came from Roosevelt along with some of our other fellow students. Here is a poise and dignity that we would like to acquire. She has a ready smile and a willing hand. Some of these days we’ll probably see her as an efficient office girl, for she has the steadiness of mind that will enable her to attain much. Elizabeth Smeltzer [Sixty] Ruth Cherry—“R ufus” Behold that daughter of the world; she is full of gaiety and gladness.” Commercial Club; Girl Reserves. Ruth is one of the quiet girls of the class around the school, but we suspect this is not always true outside. She has many friends among her classmates, which speaks well for her sociable qualities. She doesn’t like the questionnaire system of teaching in E. H. S. because sometimes it is rather embarrassing, especially when it is concerning something you don’t know anything about. Lynn Swinehart The world knows nothing of its greatest men.” President of Commercial Club. Lynn seems to be one of the non-talkative boys in the class, but oh, me! Oh. my! you should hear him talk in History class. His orations nearly equal Cicero’s. Lynn is also known in the Commercial world (in school), being the noble President of the Commercial Club. Grace Holdeman—“D oc” To be gentle is the test of a lady.” Home Economics Club. Grace says that the things she enjoys most are dancing and going to football games. She didn’t say so but perhaps there’s a certain gentleman whose company she enjoys, too. “Doc” is one of the smallest girls in our class, but in spite of her lack of size she certainly does not lack pep and vim. Roy Fox Myself is my best company.” Roy has taken little part in class activities and we don’t hear much from him but we suspect he’s been working hard on his studies so he could pass with a big margin. He has many friends who will vouch for him as a good fellow. Edith Smith—“E die” Gentle words, quiet words, are often the most powerful words.” “Edie” is another quiet member of our class, but by her presence and hard work she has helped us turn the wheels that made our old class hum. She plans to be a dress designer, and I’m sure she would be a “whiz” at it, judging from the clever little hat she made in sewing. [Sixty-one] William Koontz— “Bill” rr Ambitious and rare of wit is he.” Fighting Fifty; Band. Bill has been connected with our E. H. S. band for quite a few years, and his musical talent contributes a great deal to this organization. Now as - to Bill’s future plans we have heard naught, but it is certain that he will do something. Virginia McQueen—“B illie” She moves, a goddess and she looks a queen.” Dramatics Club. Two years ago, Virginia came to us from Warsaw, one of our rival football cities. Since then “Billie” has put her shoulder to the wheel and plugged along with the rest of us in doing all we can for our class and school. Jewel Whysong The best o’ fellows and the best o’ friends.” Hi-Y. Jewel is that thoughtful, studious, slim person we’ve often seen and wondered about. (He can usually be found around Room 307). Although he hasn’t as¬ sociated too much with the class and its activities, he is, nevertheless, a dandy fellow and an inquiring reporter would find he has many friends. Ruby Biddle— “Peggy” rr Everything that is exquisite hides itself.” Rah! Rah! Club; Commercial Club. Girls, don’t you envy “Peggy” her permanent? It seems to be so permanent that it has remained with her all her life and endured through all kinds of weather. Since Ruby enjoys all kinds of athletics, she can be found at all the games, either seeing the game or selling sweets for the class. T A T E Ml 4_ tsz ' -Tsn.’,. JftC JSNX XYUI JMWANl Clelta Spivey r She often burns the midnight oil, But, sad to say; ’tis not for toil.” Psychology Triangle; Art Club; Girl Reserves; Commercial Club; Annual Staff; Maids on the Bamboo Screen; Little Almond Eyes. Clelta is best known through the Rah! Rah! Girls, and don’t think she can’t yell. She is a living example of why gentlemen prefer blondes! Her hobby, we be¬ lieve, is writing poetry. She writes poems in memory books, for Annuals, and for every other occasion. [Sixty-two] ■ itvc JA-X it VLJI IPENNANT .-� ■•. r r.� ..-� . : -:- � � Vv ’• ' Clara Bliss r Goodness is beauty in its best estate .” Rah! Rah! Club; Home Economics Club. Clara makes friends wherever she goes, and we don’t blame people for wanting to know her. She is one of our loyal athletic fans, too, for when there’s a game, Clara is there also. She says she’d like to be a dietitian. We’ll agree with her that it would be a nice thing to do. Edward Fifer—“E d” Speak, to me only of practical things. Glee Club. “Ed” has been with us for all of our four year’s grind, but he must have been playing hide-and-seek a part of this time for we all have seen little of him. On second thought perhaps he has been training to be a second Caruso under Mr. Cheney’s directions. Florence Mast— “Betty” Silence is more musical than song.” Glee Club, ’26; Dramatics Club, ’27. Florence is another one of those brilliant students who migrated over from Roosevelt to join our class. She is well-liked by all who have known her, and we are sure she will not have to ride the road to success in a Chevrolet —we wish you a new Ford. John Hughes The manly part is to do with might and main what you can do.” John is another one of those persons, who have come from other schools, to graduate with us. Old Elkhart High School is quite cosmopolitan, isn’t it ? John hails from Pierceton, Indiana. He has entered into class activities with might and main, and we’re pleased to have him graduate with us. Eleanor Finger Those who think must govern those who toil.” Forum. Eleanor is usually seen driving around in her big car—driving, she says, is her hobby. But by the looks of her card we know that that is not all she does. She has stuck to the class through thick and thin, helping it stride onward to its distant goal. © [Sixty-three] Velma Zimmerman—“Z immie” ' There is but one method and that is by hard labor.” “Zimmie” is another hard-working member of our class. She is always right there when called upon with her lessons tucked securely in her brains. Velma is also one of the lucky girls of our class who has not shorn her raven tresses, and so does not have to go through the ordeal which so many of her class sisters are experiencing. Richard Corner—“D ick” To be strong is to be happy.” Commercial Club; Track Numeral, ’27. “Dick” is our Hercules, for it is he that hurls the twelve-pound shot. Richard is so full of life that he has all he can do to keep quiet when some one else recites. We would rather have you talk too much than sleep in class, Dick. Charles Mohney—“C harlie” Comb down his hair; look, look! It stands upright.” “Charlie” has a host of friends among his fellow toilers. When nature blessed him with his curly hair, she hung a millstone around his neck because it has caused him an endless amount of teasing. He seems to enjoy chemistry; at least he hasn’t broken as many test tubes as some of the members of the class. Leona Daly—“L ola” Be not simply good; be good for something.” Leona is a quiet modest maiden. The first time you see her you know instantly that she is Florence’s sister. The girls are seen together quite regularly, as their surname will indicate. It is whispered that Leona makes very good fudge—line forms to the right 1 Florence Sutter To be gentle is the test of a lady.” Commercial Club. Florence is a commercial student. That course re¬ quires much work, and Florence is one person that can do it. She seems to limit her friendship to a cer¬ tain few, but I’ll venture to say that that “certain few” are mighty glad to be included in her circle of friends. [Sixty-four] Noble Swinehart A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.” Noble is a very quiet boy and we do not hear very many words from him. Although he has taken no part in class affairs he has held his own all through E. H. S. and is now ready to take his diploma with the rest. He spends much of his time in the chemis¬ try and physics laboratories. Lillian Glace ' Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.” Commercial Club. From Lillian’s class record we think she is going to be a very good business woman. We need more people in our commercial world like her. Lillian, we know, was very quiet in class affairs, but she is a real friend to anyone who is in need. Arvel Stutsman— “Stutzie” ”Why worry?” Hi-Y. Arvel is the school sheik par excellence. One might expect the school to dry up and blow away as to see “Stutzie” not at his best in public. Arvel always car¬ ries a cheerful grin and his reliable gift of sarcasm with him. He is another one of that great silent mass of supporters of the class. rr Listening often pays better than talking.” Come on, girls, let’s find out what Ethel does to keep that schoolgirl complexion in these days when rosy cheeks usually come in shades of Vermillion, ashes of roses, and such. Ethel is one of those rare persons who can listen to others without interrupting. And alas! the listeners are hard enough to find. Catherine Kiefer— “Katie” rr Occupied people are not unhappy people.” Thomas Chorus. Ethel “Katie” has been an ardent member of the chorus, and we know her best through her singing. She has not attended many of our class parties, but we know that she missed a good time—especially the “eats.” Katie” is a chaiter member of our class, being with us four years of struggle. [Sixty-five] Myrtle Dillon A most competent maid will win at anything .’ Commercial Club: Bookkeeping Contest, Mishawaka. Myrtle is ' usually—we should say generally—seen in the typewriting room pounding the keys off a type¬ writer. She is the industrious type of girl who al¬ ways gets what she is going after. We hope that she has enjoyed her trip through Elkhart High as much as we have enjoyed having her. Leonard DeDario—“M ike” rr A man he seems of cheerfid yesterdays and confident tomorrows.” Football, ’25, ’26, ’27; Letter, ’27: Track, ’26, ’27; Student Representative, ’28; Band; Chorus. “Mike” is another of our faithful football heroes playing guard on our team. He has been trampled by all the team, but he always comes up smiling. Leonard plans to take up the study of medicine, and in the future we expect to see him established in our city. Mary Ellen Swinehart— “Mary” Just being happy is a fine thing to do Looking on the bright side rather than the blue.’ Mary is a most demure maiden. She is happy when doing something for others—in fact she seems happy all the time. We have not become acquainted with her as well as we would like to, for she spent some of her high school career down in Florida but decided she would rather graduate in E. H. S. Kenneth Smith— “Kenny” Earnestness and sincerity are synonomous.” Football, ’25, ’26, ’27; Track, ’25, ’26, ’27; Letter Football, ’27. Kenneth has carried the part of a dignified senior this last year better than the most of us. We managed to get a tip from one of “Kenny’s” friends (and he has many of them) that he has a mania residing in Tipton, Indiana. “Kenny” plans to be a mechanical engineer. Ruth Lynn Our content is our best having.” Glee Club: Maids on the Bamboo Screen. Ruth is a firm believer that “little girls should be seen and not heard.” Some people think she bears a somewhat close resemblance to Little Eva with the golden curls. Ruth has always been reported on deck at class meetings. She has also been a singer in the Glee Club almost every year. [Sixty-six] Dorothy Brown—“D ot” rr Life without laughing is a dreary blank- ' ' Art Club. Dorothy is another one of those smiling blue-eyed blondes. It isn’t peroxide, either, because she doesn’t take chemistry. Outside of school activities “Dot” has been very active in Y. P. B. of the W. C. T. U. “Dot” has been president of this organization and has done some excellent work there. Howard Stewart— “Speed” Better late than never.” Fighting Fifty. “Howdy” is one of the speed maniacs of the school. He is not unlike his noted relative, Sam Howdy, in that he can sell ice-cold pop on a zero day at any given football game. He has always earnestly sup¬ ported the class. “Howdy’s” grin and melodious whistle will be greatly missed, especially by the mem¬ bers of the faculty. Dorothy Arisman— “Dot” To be happy, be friendly” Commercial Club. Dorothy can make the keys of a typewriter and piano, alike, go up and down in rapid motion. And who is not green with envy when they see “Dot” turn the corner with that Hudson ? Its usually full of girls and on its way to a football or basketball game, for Dorothy hardly ever misses a game. D WIGHT HOUSEWORTH What should a man do but be merry?” Dwight was one of the fellows in our class who arrived in session just as the bell rings—or had I better say just after it had rung. He usually at¬ tended class meetings, and was a supporter of our class affairs. Like father like son. Dwight plans to go to Purdue next year to study pharmacy. Florence Daly The countenance is more eloquent than the tongue.” Although Florence has been with us all four of our High School years, we haven’t heard her say much, either about likes or dislikes. Perhaps she keeps all her ideas for the teachers, and consequently takes home the “bacon” at the end of every six weeks. Anyway we know Florence has done some “star gazing,” because she took Astronomy. I Sixty-seven] Mildred Fisher— “Shorty” Ha! ha! I laugh, and ho! ho!—people and everything amuse me so.” Dramatics Club; Forum; Chorus. Mildred is one of the peppiest girls in our class. She made a “great big hit” as Billie in the Dramatics Club production, “Nevertheless,” and we all envy the little boy that she was. “Shorty” likes football and basketball games and she is always present at them. Ralph Thorpe A little backward about coming forward.” Glee Club; Freshman Basketball; Wrestling; Inter¬ class Track. We haven’t seen much of Ralph in our last two years’ tour through High School. Possibly a no park¬ ing or one hour limit sign should be placed near one of the lockers on the second floor. In the future, class members will probably see sky-scrapers in Elkhart built by Ralph, as he intends to be an architectural engineer. Anita Sutter— “Nita” Silence is the perfect herald of joy.” Program Committee, Commercial Club. “Nita” has caused a good many sighs of despair to be uttered when others have attempted to grow such locks as hers. I am afraid that if some of us possessed such a crowning glory we couldn’t be reached with a ten-foot pole. But not “Nita.” She is as sweet and unassuming as can be. Sam Stutsman rr But probe his thoughts—they travel far.” Hi-Y; Commercial Club. Sam looks like he is usually in earnest and takes life seriously, but on closer study we find he is as fond of a good time as any of us. Some of us are not very well acquainted with him, but we think it is bashfulness on his part and the desire not to be presumptuous. Agnes Clyde An excellent student with a smile that wins.” Commercial Club; Pennant Weekly Typist. Agnes was wise to keep her hair long when most of us cut ours. Another one of Agnes’ virtues is that pleasing, friendly smile that has a way of winning the confidence of teachers and students. Her graciousness seems to beckon to us, “Come on, let’s be friends.” Since Agnes has chosen a Commercial course, we expect to see her high in the secretarial field or per¬ haps in some business of her own. [Sixty-eight] George Biddlecome—“B iddie” rr A genuine sportsman and intelligent to boot.” Captain of Senior Interclass Squad; Glee Club. George came to us from Warsaw so we can only surmise his achievements there from what he has done in E. H. S. He is an ardent advocate of basket¬ ball and indulges in this sport himself with gratifying results. He always carries a well organized program also. Upon graduating George has decided that he will work a while and then enter college. Helen Mann rr Be great in action as you have been in thought.” Commercial Club. Helen was never actively connected with our class but she has always paid her dues promptly and in this way has faithfully backed her class. Few of us have become very well acquainted with her because she has been rather quiet, but “silence is golden.” William Brick—“B rick” He is great who is what he is from nature, and never reminds us of others. Interclass Basketball, ’26; Varsity Basketball, ’27, ’28; Football, ’27; Track, ’27, ’28. William’s hobby seems to be athletics. He has al¬ ways been a faithful and dependable member of our class. “Brick” is all his name implies as the fellows at Purdue will soon find out. “Brick” is in the height of glory when he is tramping around the “cinder path” at Rice field. Helen Ebersole—“P addy” Sweet girl graduate, with her golden hair.” Commercial Club; Typist for Pennant Weekly, ’27. Enter a good student and efficient typist. “Paddy” certainly can thump the typewriter and make the keys rattle. One redeeming feature is that she does not keep time with gum. Helen has helped to make the Pennant Weekly a success by doing the typing for it. It is modesty that makes her seem divine.” Gladys Huber—“M ike” Secretary, Home Economics Club. “Mike” is a hard-working member of the Home Economics Club. Her hobby is cooking (in school) and playing tennis. Some combination, isn’t it? We more childish upper-classmen would be shocked to see “Mike” tearing through the halls, scattering books as she goes. Modesty and quietness are her characteristics. Her ambition is to be a nurse. [Sixty-nine] Success crowns labor.” “Betty” always has a smile for everyone, every¬ where and at all times. Keep it up, “Betty” and you’ll never be alone, for “smile and the world smiles with you.” “Betty” says her hobby is reading. After graduation Elizabeth intends to go to Business College. In the future we may hear of Elizabeth as a successful secretary. Elizabeth Halstead— “Betty” Lester Thompson— “Les” He will succeed; for he believes all he says.” Glee Club. Did “Les” ever burn his ear while curling his locks on his sister’s curling iron? That’s the question. We have our private opinion, though, that such a neat job couldn’t be accomplished with permanents, kids, irons, or any other such means. Did you ever see Lester wholly out of patience? No, indeed! He’s as level-headed as the day is long. Irene Clark It’s enthusiasm for something that makes life worth living.” Irene is always ready to help make our class parties ones long to be remembered. She seems to be always happy, always enthusiastic. Irene is hard to find as she spends a large part of her time in the farthest corner of the school, namely in C-5 where the com¬ mercial students seek their knowledge. Howard Wise Sensibility is the power of man.” Interclass Basketball. Howard doesn’t have much to say to us, and he isn’t sure what he will do after graduation, but we’re inclined to think that he would make a good doctor or perhaps, an engineer. Howard and Kenneth might be partners in business. At least, they make a good team now. Good taste is the flower of good sense.” Social Committee of Commercial Club. Even if Marjorie has only spent three semesters with us, she has shown that she can make friends. Two years and a half of her high school life Marjorie spent in Tipton High School. We’ll bet Tipton hated to lose such an attractive young lady, but we’re glad they did, ’cause now we’ve got her. Marjorie Doering K LID E. R T PER VER ITAT Ml as jlJL. [Seventy] Robert Huff—“B ob” Every man is the architect of his own future.” “Bob came back to graduate with the class of 1928 after an absence of a few years. He is the “moving picture man” of our class. He runs the machine when some organization is giving a picture and he does it well indeed. We are not very well acquainted with Bob, but what we know of him we like. Mae Ganger—“S is” In maiden meditation, fancy free.” Commercial Club. Mae says she doesn’t know just what her hobby is or what she’ll do after graduation, but there is sure to be some good opening, such as a private secretary, for an industrious girl like Mae. “Sis” is usually seen with Myrtle and they always seem to be having a good time. Elnore Spangle ' r Thoughts and study are better than impulse.” Dramatics Club. Elnore is a black-haired Miss who came back to school the second semester. She has been out of school for two semesters on account of illness. We are sorry for that but glad that she is going to graduate with us. She plans to go to Ann Arbor to take up nursing. Thelma Hart—“T rip” Quiet lasts, but there are few who know the treasures hidden in you.” Commercial Club; Girl Reserves. “Trip” lives up to her name by tripping from short¬ hand to typewriting class. Her typewriting ability is the envy of all beginners who stop to watch her, hop¬ ing against hope, they will at some time be able to do the same. We have no idea of “Trip’s” future so you will have to find out for yourself. William Starner—“B ill” Bill be nimble, Bill be quick, Bill jump over the candle stick” Track, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28; Student Representative; Fighting Fifty. William is one of those boys that flies high. Don’t get excited—we mean in Track. It is said, that if an athlete can jump five feet here, he can jump thirty feet on the moon. Why not hold a track meet on the moon, “Bill”? We’d all come and yell for you. [Seventy-one] Jayne H UNTER rr Sentiment is but a woman s conscience. ' ’ Jayne is the newest member of our class. She came to E. H. S. from Hannibal, Missouri, at the beginning of the second semester. We wish that she might have come sooner. We may soon expect to see Jayne teach¬ ing all her little school children to “breathe deeply and stand erect” for she plans to go to the Physical Edu¬ cation School at Chicago Normal. Mortz Andrewsen You know l say just what I think And nothing more or less.” Mortz is an exception in that his hair, as per boy custom, is not tightly slicked down to his head for it stands straight up. He is clever and spends a good share of his time in session halls displaying this clev¬ erness. He ranks high in mathematics and works trigo¬ nometry with remarkable speed. Ruth Newcomer She always does her duty no matter what the task-” Dramatics Club. Ruth is a steady worker and a valuable asset to her class. She has hosts of friends even though she is quiet and we have found out, by divers methods, that she really can make noise outside of school (and some¬ times in school). We are sorry to lose Ruth but we feel that her aim will be something higher. James Ferro— “Murphy” A favorite toy of this brave man was a football via the gridiron plan.” Interclass Basketball ’26, ’27, ’28; Football ’25, ’26, ’27; Track ’26, ’27, ’28; Letter ’27. Whenever anyone says “Murphy” we always think of football. “Murphy” has been the “iron horse” of our class, plunging through mountains of work and rushing through the forbidding walls of the enemy. James is going to carry on his work of defeating the enemy by being a lawyer. Mary Snyder rr This lady was meek and soft spoken, A character of gentleness unbroken.” Commercial Club; Home Economics Club; Glee Club; Girl Reserves; Rah! Rah! Club. Mary is one of those unusual people who always gets her lessons, has her notebooks up and is pre¬ pared for anything. She has been present regularly at class meetings and any other functions the class has had. Her hobbies are making candy studying, at¬ tending theatre parties or-—what have you ? [ Seventy-two] Grant Holmes Freda Policoff rr Success is still operated on the self-service plan.” Forum; Social Committee 1C; Girl Reserves; Secre¬ tary ’28; Scholarship “E” ’25. Freda is an unexpected Senior, not that she was doubtful on account of credits, but she has been in school only three years. She has made herself well known by taking part in oratorical contests and read¬ ing for many occasions. She has been a member of the Forum for three years and has helped in many of its undertakings. Arthur Upson—“A rt” rr A youth there is of quiet ways.” “Art” is the “big man” of our class. We know little of him except that he is a shark at Economics. We have no idea what his hobby is unless it could be studying, since we see from his program that he is carrying a heavy course and combining commercial and industrial subjects. r A bold bad man.” Dramatics Club. Grant is the useful man in that he is the target for Miss Cunningham’s erasers. Sometimes he is hit and again he isn’t, but he always emerges safely. He no doubt plans to go on to school, but we do not know where. Grant is always on deck for class meetings and parties. Helen Shearer r True modesty is a discerning grace.” Glee Club; Basketball, Class Play at Edwardsburg. Helen comes to us from Edwardsburg, consequently we don’t know a great deal about her, only that she seems to be quiet, shy and modest. We hope to get better acquainted with her. She has made a consider¬ able number of friends while in E. H. S., however.

The new officers will serve until the close of the school year in June and Miss Burns will con¬ tinue to serve as Sponsor. Ralph was secretary of our class and has been out for football and basketball.

Good Leaders Carry Burden Of June Class Johnson, Hughes, Templin and Miller Serve as Class Presidents Without good leadership no group can gain success. Our class has always had leaders to be proud of, and equally important are the good followers who have supported our leaders. At every election we have been able to find numbers willing to take up the task of leadership. We therefore express our appreciation for their capable guidance, for without these pilots we could not have steered our way through four years of storm and calm to the harbors of graduation. The various officers elected for the different school years are as follows : 2D Freshmen President—Gordon Johnson. Vice President—Charles Hughes. Secretary-—Richard Frederick.

An Appreciation The June Class of 1928 takes this opportunity to thank all those who have co-operated so well with us. First we wish to thank our prin¬ cipal, Mr. Hoideman, for all he has done for us. He has given every¬ one of our problems a fair and unprejudiced consideration. Even at his busiest moments, he has stopped to help us with our troubles. We feel that much of our success is due to him. We thank our sponsors. Miss Estlick and Miss Burns, who through many trials and tribula¬ tions stood firm, always endeav¬ oring to keep our class substan¬ tial, yet full of pep. They have struggled with us long and hard, establishing our class firmly. For such reliable sponsors, our class is grateful. For our class officers and com¬ mittees, who have wisely directed us in all our enterprises, and who have been untiring in their efforts, thanks are expressed. Our due respects are given to the coaches, Mr. Boone and Mr. Bratton. By their superior knowl¬ edge of athletics they have pro¬ duced fine teams. We express our sincerest thanks to the members of the faculty, to the office force, to the athletic teams, to the student body, and to all who have aided us in our sojourn through E. H. S.

FROM THE FILES 1925-26 Twenty-nine members of the Sophomore class held a “kid party” in the gym Friday even¬ ing, December 19. The four chap¬ erones were Mr. Hoideman, Mr. Sproul and Mr. and Mrs. Nebergal. “Baby games” such as “Drop the Handkerchief,” “Farmer in the Dell,” “Tax and Squirrel” and “Three Deep” were led by Ray¬ mond Sykes and Betty Kilmer. After dividing the “kids” into four groups, each group was held re¬ sponsible for a stunt. The refreshments were boxes of animal crackers, apples and large lolly-pops. Mr. Hoideman described the party as a great success. 1926 - 27 Forty members of the Junior class gathered in the gym Friday night, November 19, and had the best party they ever had while in high school. The first part of the evening was spent in playing bunco, first prizes going to Jose¬ phine Anderson and Mr. Jones, consolation prizes going to Nedra Hoideman and Richard Corner. Dancing was the chief entertain¬ ment for the remainder of the evening. Junior Class Play The Junior class of 192 8 gave their class play, “The Youngest,” by Phillip Barry, Friday, April 1, 1927, in the Auditorium. The cast given below was chosen by a group of the faculty as a result of try-outs: Nancy Blake—Phyllis Helfrick. Richard—Wilbur Templin. Augusta Winslow Martin— Josephine Anderson. Alan Martin—Ralph Miller. Mrs. Winslow—Ruby Johnson. Oliver—Walter Compton. Mark—Morris Tuthill. Martha—Genevieve Rinehart. Katie—Millicent Bitters. 1927 - 28 The combined Senior classes held a joint Halloween party in the gym on Friday evening, Octo¬ ber 29, costume prizes were awarded to Genevieve Rinehart, Charles Wiley, Hazel Daugherty and Bob LeFevre. Page 2. THE INQUIRING REPORTER Do you think that the June Class of 1928 has been successful and why ? Mr. Jones. The June graduat¬ ing class of 1928 has been suc¬ cessful because the individual members have been successful. They have represented their high school in athletics, dramatics and debate and in class and other ac¬ tivities. The publication of a good annual and a successful class play are very creditable. Above all, an enthusiastic class spirit and loy¬ alty to E. H. S. for four years and a desire to accomplish more are enough to say that the class has been very successful. Margaret Oliver. In the years that I have been in high school the June class of 1928 has always been spoken of as a good example to other classes. They have shown class spirit, wonderful manage¬ ment, and have seemed to me to be one of the best classes ever graduated from E. H. S. They are a credit to their Sponsor, the Fac¬ ulty, and the School. Mr. Hoideman. Yes, every one who completes four years of High School work is successful. It is only one step, however, in many, in a successful life. Mr. Peterson. There is a certain criterion for estimating the suc¬ cess of an individual which runs like this: the successful man is he who does the best that he can with the talents God has given him and then does a little for someone else. If that basis of judgment can be applied to a group, then the June class of 1928 must be termed, in the main, successful, for its members have accomplished much in their own individual advancement and they have contributed usefully to their school’s progress. WEATHER REPORT Report: For last four years, June Class 1928: Generally fair and bright, a few rainy days and thunder storms, smooth sailing on the high seas of E. H. S. Forecast Fair and unclouded. Rain clouds around final exam week, other¬ wise all’s well.

To our school the class of ’28 leaves the sincere hope that in years to come other classes may leave it with as fond memories as we do. To our Principal we wish to add a little bit more patience to his vast store, which he will surely need if the class to follow has as much pep as we the deceased once had. To our Faculty we leave the appreciation which we hold for them, for their task of directing us along the road of knowledge for the past four years. To our Sponsor we leave the sincere gratitude and good wishes for directing us and adding to the fellowship of the class. To the Juniors we leave our front seats at assembly, and the various offices which we leave vacant. To the Sophomores we leave the speed which we have attained in the halls by the three claps so commonly heard. To the Freshmen Howdy” Stewart leaves a package of gum to cheer them up a bit. Wilbur Templin leaves Max Ball the ability of piloting a class so that the class of ’29 may be half as famous as ours. Ruby Johnson leaves her ability to cut up” to Dick Johnson so that the school may not be too reserved next year. The whole class leaves their current events to Buck” Jones for his memory book.” Josephine Anderson leaves her dramatic ability to Willene Pancost so that next year’s class may make use of the Little Theatre.” Millicent Bitters makes the big sacrifice of leaving her curly locks to Jean Work. Charles Wiley and Charles Clear leave their talent in art to Kathryn Monger and Martha Joliff. They, being already endowed with that talent, will make a great name for themselves. Ralph Miller leaves his student E to Ed” Neidballa, not that Ed” doesnt’ earn plenty of his own. Brute” Howard leaves his specs to Wayne Moyer so that he may see the brighter side of life. Mose” Tuthill leaves his talking ability to Bob Ludwig so that he may really say something. The whole class leaves their various Latin books to Miss Burns, their worthy teacher. Ruby Biddle leaves her quietness to Lewis Hire in order that the session teachers may have a little peace. Charles Dickerhoff leaves his permanent to Catherine Brockman. It does not require re-setting s either. Kathryn Sears leaves her ability and desire for dancing to Ernie Fritz and Dari Shank so that they might enjoy class parties and proms. Adelaide Pease leaves her musical talent to Maggie Oliver if she wants to get an extra credit easily. Ernest Bowman leaves his lengthy stride to Graydon Holdeman. [Seventy-eight] P q jj-;- t] K Tf Jfe, It T7 ] -1 11 U. 1 .jfc i a- ii ' Anita Sutter leaves her curls to Virginia Zahm, to be worn at her next formal dinner. Viola Zipser leaves her usual back seat in session to Bud Borneman. Robert Anderson leaves all the knowledge he has of Latin, after struggling three years, to the school’s pet rats. Mortz Anderson leaves his comb to Bill Hollar. (He bought it four years ago, but it’s just like new—never been used.) Bob Bowman and Bob Cutler leave their many Hi-Y positions to Warpy” Ball and Bob Kegerris. Dwight Houseworth leaves Ted Blessing the privilege of sleeping in session. Walter Compton leaves his dignity to his brother Wendell, for fear he has not yet enough. Gordy Johnson, in drawing his last breath, leaves his ability of making touch-downs to Dale Huffman. Perhaps next year, E. H. S. will produce state champs. Genevieve Rhinehart leaves her Economic note-book to Carol Ball. Person receiving must handle with care. The Banes twins leave their popularity around school to the Buzzard twins. Elizabeth Hood leaves her literary career in E. H. S. to Royden Kelly so that he may be of future use in editing the Pennant. Cherub Borneman leaves her position of collecting Rah! Rah! dues to Betty Emerson. Raymond Sykes leaves his drums to Marvin Burnstein. We hope the band won’t split up after the loss of its great and noted leader. Ralph Hillman leaves his dimples to Mariette Myers. Hurry before death claims them. Francis Kelsey leaves his various athletic positions to T. J. Charlesworth, who wishes to be busy for the next four years. The class leaves the appreciation of the success of the Junior and Senior class plays to Miss Sherrick. Helen Waugh and Gladys Woker leave their session room behavior to Elizabeth Young and Betty La Gro. Otis Thompson leaves Bernice Zorninger a few more of those coveted E’s. La Mar Blough leaves his business attitude” to Carroll Ball. Clelta Spivey leaves her giggles to Helen Kurtz. We know Helen already has enough, but a few more won’t do any harm. Margaret Moyer bestows her dimples upon Charlie Hughes, in hopes that his smile may be more enticing than it is even now. Bob Cutler leaves his Geometry book to Mrs. Boone— In remembrance of him who strives.” Helen Mann leaves her many excellent History outlines to Virgil Printy. Arvel Stutsman leaves his size and looks to Ralph Johnson, a would-be senior of future years. Richard Frederick leaves his hair to Virginia Adams who believes gentlemen prefer brunettes.” Elenor Finger leaves her ever-ready smile to Marjorie Sears who expects to take Virgil. Having made these bequests, we trust that any rmaining ones may be divided equally among the students of E. H. S. We do hereby set our hand and seal to this, our last will and testament, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight and appoint our faithful sponsor, Miss Bernita Burns, as executrix.

The initial game with East Chicago was played in intense heat, and the Blue team with only two weeks of practice, found themselves unequal to the battle. The Elkhart fans were in doubt as to the success of the team in the battles that would follow. The Blue warriors, however, valiantly upheld the high standard of the preceding year by coming through the longest and most difficult schedule that has ever been undertaken by a Blue and White football team, losing but three games out of the eleven played. Among the losses was the nationally famed Mooseheart team of Illinois. Hughes, Hoffman, Virgil, and Johnson were placed in the honorable mention lists of the all-state teams selected by the sports writers.

The East Chicago Game Breaks, hot weather, and a light, inexperienced line combined to open an otherwise successful season with a defeat by East Chicago. The Calumets blocked punts, recovered fumbles, and found holes in the Elkhart line to lead them to three touchdowns. East Chicago kicked off and Elkhart was forced to punt on the third down but the kick was blocked. Stalhurt scooped it up and ran 23 yards for the first score of the year. In the second quarter the invaders recovered a fumble on the ten yard line and plunged the ball over on the fourth down. The Cashmen recovered a blocked punt in the last period in Elkhart terri¬ tory and in a series of line plays succeeded in bringing the final score to 20 to 0. The Kendalville Game The following week the Blue Avalanche came back to look like old times and swamped the Kendalvillians, 41 to 6. The Elkhart eleven exhibited a powerful offense which featured spectacular runs by Hoffman and passes to Hughes and Johnson. Boone delved deep into the reserve list and three entire teams were sent into the game. To start the scoring, Hoffman grabbed a punt and ran 45 yards with perfect interference for a touchdown. The second marker came as a steady march down to the goal line where Neidballa plunged over. Hoffman trav¬ eled 80 yards for the third touchdown on an off tackle play. The third team started the second half and Prentice took a pass from Heigns to score [One hundred two] Line: Russell Chaffee, end; Kenneth Shultz, tackle; Earl Burger, guard; Blaine Howard, center; Leonard De Dario, guard; Deverrel Sager, tackle; Vincent McGowan, end.

The second team replaced the third team and scored Elkhart’s fourth touchdown in the beginning of the fourth quarter. The regulars returned and opened an aerial attack which resulted in two more touchdowns. ; Fort Wayne Central Game In mud and rain the Blue Avalanche splashed through Fort Wayne’s forward wall for a score of 14 to 0 in the first game of the year played away from home. Few end runs could be attempted because of the slippery condition of the field, so both teams were confined to using line plays. Elkhart’s superiority was demonstrated by the fact that the locals made ten first downs to the opponents’ one. This victory was the fifth consecutive triumph over the Central High School eleven. In the initial period an attempted punt was blocked by the Elkhart linemen and Cal Virgil picked it up and ran over the goal line unmolested for the Boonemen’s first touchdown. Neither team scored until the last quarter when an intercepted pass and a thirty-yard run by Hoffman brought the ball down to the three-yard line where Floyd Miller took the oval across. The Warsaw Game In a game featured by long runs the Blue Avalanche defeated the Black and Orange of Warsaw by a score of 24 to 7, at Warsaw. The con¬ test was spectacular in spots and ragged in others. After an exchange of punts in the first quarter, Hoffman sprinted down the east side of the gridiron the entire distance for a touchdown. In [One hundred three] Line: Robert Anderson, end; David Edwards, tackle; Markel, guard; Myron Chaffee, center; Ralph Miller, guard; Guy Ellis, tackle; Allen Smitley, end. Backfield: Robert Stauffer, halfback; Norwell Roth, fullback; Edward Wright, quarterback; Charles Overlease, halfback. the second quarter Johnson went off left tackle and cut back through the entire Warsaw team to make a touchdown. Hoffman later in the quarter reeled off another long run of 65 yards to score the last points of the half. The second team started the final half. A fumbled punt was recovered by the Tigers, and they carried it over in a series of plays for their touchdown. The regulars re-entered the game, and after the gun was fired Johnson com¬ pleted a 25-yard run for the final tally. 1 he Plymouth Game The Boonemen scored the most decisive victory of the year over Plymouth before a throng of three thousand fans at Rice Field. Scoring almost at will throughout the game the Blue Avalanche buried the Pilgrims under a debris of 45 points to 7. In the first quarter Hoffman registered two touchdowns on runs of 40 and 30 yards. Then Neidballa b rought the score of the first quarter to 19 to 0. No more points were marked up for either team, until Sparh of Plymouth intercepted a pass and returned the ball to the Elkhart 10- yard line. On the fourth down he went through for a touchdown. Three touchdowns for Elkhart were made through the aerial route. Ronzone made one of these on a 50-yard run, and then concluded the scoring by a short dash over the goal line as the gun fired. The Whiting Game In the closest battle ever fought on Rice Field, Elkhart turned back the Whiting Oilers, 13 to 9. In the hectic last few minutes the Green [One hundred four] The Seniors Bob Anderson, James Skahen, Ralph Miller, Gordon Johnson, Ed Neidballa, Calvin Virgil, Morris Tuthill, Wilbur Templin, Zirn Staley, Leonard De Dario, Kenneth Smith, Harold Podawiltz, Norwell Roth, Charles Hughes, Blaine Howard, Floyd Miller, William Brick, Earl Burger, James Ferro, Paul Stephenson, Morris Davis. team had the ball on the Blue’s three-inch line where the forward wall suc¬ cessfully held and the ball reverted to Elkhart. The Blue Avalanche kicked off and Whiting’s first play from scrim¬ mage resulted in a fumble. Ronzone covered the ball and took it to the Oilers’ 30-yard line. A plunge by Neidballa and two pretty runs by Hoff¬ man resulted in a touchdown for the local eleven. Whiting blocked a punt near the goal line, and put it over for their lone touchdown. A beautiful run by Hoffman and a plunge by Neidballa carried the ball over for Elk¬ hart’s second touchdown. In the last quarter a safety was scored by Whiting when Johnson stepped over the end in an attempt to punt, bringing the final score to 13 to 9. The Mishawaka Game Mishawaka closed its season by defeating the Boonemen by one touch¬ down at Mishawaka. Elkhart twice failed by inches to tie or win the annual blood battle. The timekeeper’s gun halted the Elkhart drive on the four- yard line with four downs in which to make the remaining distance at the end of the first half. On the other occasion with the ball on the one-yard line an end run lost ground and the pigskin passed over to the Cavemen who punted out of danger. Mishawaka’s valuable score came when they ran the ends and plunged the line for five consecutive first downs in the first quarter. A pass over the goal-line netted the extra tally. This drive constituted seventy yards and was the only time the Cavemen threatened to score. The final score was 7-0.

Chaffee, Wright, Hollar, Whitehead, Stauffer, Hoffman, CTipp, M. Ball. The Mooseheart Game Before the largest crowd that ever filled Rice Field, the nationally known Mooseheart eleven defeated the Blue Avalanche in a Thanksgiving offering. The game was not as decisive as the score, 27-7, indicated, as the Boonemen threatened to score several times. Mooseheart turned the first two Elkhart kick-offs into touchdowns be¬ fore the Blue elected to receive. The kick-off was returned to the 2 5-yard line where Hoffman and Ronzone made it a first down on the Elkhart 40- yard line. A shoestring pass to Hughes and a Johnson to Hoffman pass placed the ball 15 yards from the visitor’s goal line. Then with two plunges by Neidballa the Blue made its lone touchdown. In the last half the Moose¬ heart team repeated its offensive drive to take the ball to Elkhart’s 15-yard line where a forward pass netted a touchdown. The Seeglitzmen received the ball on their own 2 5-yard line and through consistent drives made the final score of the game. The Kokomo Game In an intersectional match on Saturday forenoon, Elkhart demonstrated the superiority of northern Indiana football by decisively defeating Kokomo in the latter’s first loss of the year. The Blue Avalanche ran its total up to 26 while the Wildcats were unable to secure a point, but in the last quarter Kokomo rallied and t ook the ball over the goal twice to obtain its quota of 12 points.

Miller, Roth, Smith, Niedballa, Hughes, Johnson, Podawiltz, C. Virgil, F. Miller, Howard, Davis, De Dario, Tuthill, Ferro, Templin, Stephenson, Staley, Burger. Elkhart, in a steady march down the field, scored the initial touchdown. In the second quarter with the ball on the 20-yard line a goal line pass to Hughes netted the Blues the second touchdown. In the third period, a fifty- yard run by Ronzone and a plunge by Neidballa resulted in the third touch¬ down. Later a shoestring pass gave Elkhart its last points. Kokomo then opened up in the last quarter and marched through the weakening Blue line for two tallies to bring the score at the final gun to 26 to 12. The Goshen Game This season the Blue and White defeated the ancient rival, the Red Menace of Goshen, at Foreman Field by a decision of 13-0. Playing a conservative game up until the last quarter, Elkhart then unleashed a power¬ ful offense which completely crushed the Crimson hopes. In the first three quarters, Elkhart played a defensive game and the Redskins’ drives which carried them down into Elkhart territory were coun¬ teracted by Elkhart punts which ended the scoring threats. The Blue Ava¬ lanche then opened an offensive drive from mid-field, largely through runs by Hoffman and plunges by Neidballa, and placed the ball on the two- yard line where the faithful wedge play and a successful goal kick made it [One hundred seven] The Sand Burs First: Keggeris.

The Boonemen followed their first touchdown with another when Yoder of Goshen punted from his fifteen-yard line to mid-field and Hoff¬ man returned to the 25-yard line. Hoffman then passed to Johnson for the score. The game ended soon after with the ball in Goshen’s possession on its 40-yard line. The Michigan City Game In a game featured with a return of the opening kick-off 90 yards for a Michigan City touchdown, Elkhart retaliated to gain the decision in a free scoring contest by 27 points to 14. Fumbles and penalties withheld the Blue and White scoring attack. This victory placed Elkhart in a tie for fourth place in Northern Indiana High School Conference. Hoffman knotted the score at seven-all by crossing the goal-line on an off-tackle play, and kicking the point after touchdown before the first period ended. Grundel picked up a Gillman fumble and carried it to the three-yard line from where he carried it over. Elkhart’s third touchdown came after a series of runs and passes, and a final plunge by Floyd Miller in the third quarter. Hoffman intercepted a pass in midfield and threw a sideline pass to Hughes who scampered over for the Blue’s last points. After a penalty, Michigan City gained possession of the ball near the goal¬ line where Sass scored on a short end run.

H. S. team ever met, we cannot call the season a failure. Bratton’s Blue Blazers wound up the season in the sectional tourna¬ ment with a good showing, beating Nappanee in a thrilling semi-final game that will not be forgotten by the basketball fans present. However, Elkhart in the finals lost to Goshen after a very exciting struggle.

One more name was added to the ever-growing list of all-state men—none other than the versatile Gordon Johnson, who by virtue of his performance at the State Meet has undoubtedly established himself as one of the greater track stars of E. H. S. University of Michigan Interscholastic Meet Elkhart entered five men in the annual interscholastic meet at Ann Arbor. Steele placed first in his section of the one-half mile run, but was awarded third after a comparison of the times. Marky got fifth in the mile run after a close finish. Denz and Ferro placed third and fourth respectively in their heats of the quarter- mile run. The meet was won by Oak Park with 21 points. The State Meet Elkhart, represented by a squad of twelve men, scored eight points in the State Meet, and tied for fifth place with Indianapolis Tech and Anderson. Gordie Johnson ran a beauti¬ ful race to finish first in the quarter in excellent time; and Harry Markey ran the best race of his career to finish third in a fast heat of the mile. The half-mile relay team finished a close second to Tech when her quartette set a new mark for this event. Rice Field Records Event Record Winner School Date 100 Yd. Dash_ _10 1 5 C.

S. for 1927 held the greatest interest ever given to that sport, although it did not receive the enthusiasm it should have according to the calibre of teams who repre¬ sented it. This seems to be an unwritten law in this sport more than any of the others. The tennis season was divided in two parts, fall and spring. The spring team played six matches, being victorious in all. Sorenson and Wallace were entered in three tournaments, Wallace being victorious in one, playing Sorenson in finals. At the Ann Arbor tourney Sorenson and Wallace were contenders in the finals. At the Northern Indiana Meet Sorenson played in the semi-finals and Wallace was the winner. Spring Team and Record: Sorenson, Wallace, Ernest Johnson, Crawford and Neale.

S. for several years but never have the girls played other towns until this year. First they received a challenge from Fort Wayne Central. The meet took place on Rice Field girls’ tennis courts. The players for the two singles were Cleo Barrett and Phyllic Gamper, for the one doubles match, Margaret Helfrick and Hazel Daugherty. The subs were Rosalyn Ellwood and Willene Pancost. The girls of E. H. S. having had no coaching whatever, did not do so badly against those of Fort Wayne who had received tennis training at their school, but in both singles and doubles matches our players were defeated. They then went to Fort Wayne to play. Singles were played by Cleo Barrett and Hazel Daugherty while the doubles were played by Rosalyn Ellwood and Willene Pancost. Scores of the games at Fort Wayne were about the same as those in the previous meet at Elkhart. The next games were played at Benton Harbor at a toarney (doubles only) in which girls’ tennis teams from several towns competed. Rosalyn Ellwood and Willene Pancost won their sets with Benton Harbor, but in their next sets, being forced to play the other two E. H. S. players, Cleo Barrett and Phyllis Gampher, they were defeated after carrying both matches to the third set. In the semi-finals Phyllis and Cleo were defeated by Kala¬ mazoo who won the tourney. In the school tournament twenty-six girls took part. In the doubles Cleo Barrett and Phyllis Gampher won the tournament, the runners-up, Margaret Helfrick and Willene Pancost, having forfeited. The singles tournament was w on by Cleo Barrett who defeated Phyllis Gampher in the finals. Phyllis Gampher’s and Cleo Barrett’s names were placed on the cup for winners of girls’ doubles. Cleo Barrett, having won the girls’ singles tournament, has her name on the singles championship cup.

Elkhart High School now has in her halls two attractive, as well as serviceable trophy cases. These are located on either side of the main entrance to the Gymnasium. The class of 1925 left a sum of money and asked that it be used to build a trophy case. The school board added to this amount and through these two sources the trophy cases pictured above were built.

Before he arrives, a telegram comes explaining that Dennis has failed to pass his third examination. George, the head of the family, since the father’s death, feels that enough has been done for Dennis. The rest of the family have always had to give up their ambitions for him. They make plans to send Dennis to Canada, where he will have to make his own way. Mr. Duffy in¬ sist s on bringing a breach of promise suit against the family, because Dennis has been en¬ gaged to his daughter, Delia, for two years and now is leaving her. To save the honor of the family Aunt Ellen, George, and Mrs. Geoghegan give Mr. Duffy notes, and Aunt Ellen even promises to marry him. In the meantime, Dennis and Delia are married, and for once Dennis is doing something that has not been planned for him—digging in the street.

Mrs. Dermott (Virginia Thompson) tells her children that the family is financially ruined.

When he learns of their troubles, he promises to leave his fortune to the niece or nephew who is most successful within the next year. He has sleeping sickness and has only three years to live, he tells them. Eighteen months later the Dermotts are again preparing for Uncle Daniel’s coming. Each of them in the meantime has become a success: Sylvia (Willene Pancost) is a movie actress, Bobby (Virgil Printy) a composer, Evangeline (Grace Jones) a novelist, Oliver (Lawrence Wilson) a motor expert, and even Joyce, the flapper (Annabelle Wyatt) is winning prizes at school. Mrs. Crombie (Blanche Bruton) and her daughter Faith (Eliza¬ beth Young) are visiting the Dermotts, at the request of Bobby, who is in love with Faith. Uncle Daniel arrives. They discover that he hasn’t a penny and are enraged, so en¬ raged that Uncle Dan leaves the house, and returns only on Mrs. Dermott’s promise that he will be forgiven. During the reconciliation a telegram comes for Uncle Dan, saying that a large vein has been struck in his mine, and that he is worth thousands. After the others have gone Sylvia asks him if he sent the telegram to himself. Yes, I did,” he answers. Was Uncle Daniel really rich or was he a fraud?

Under the tutelage of Miss Eva C. Cole, this group of students has accomplished a great deal for the school. The art students have made posters, placards, and scenery for almost every activity. The art department was also largely responsible for the Christmas issue of the Pennant, furnishing illustrations, advertisements, and articles. One of the greatest achievements is the plates made for this and subsequent Annuals. All the drawings included in this Annual were made by students of the art department under the direction of Charles Val Clear, art editor.

Five dollars for my latest story!” Fast Friend— Who from?” Writer— The express company. They lost it.” Teacher— Johnny, will you define gen¬ der?” Johnny— There are two genders, mas¬ culine and feminine. Masculine is divided into two parts, temperate and intemperate; and feminine into torrid and frigid.” Yes, I used to be in politics myself. I was a dog-catcher in my town for two years, but finally lost my job.” What was the matter—change of mayors f Nope. I finally caught the dog.” Boone— Miller, why didn’t you turn out for track practice yesterday?” Ralph— I had a date.” Boone— Had a date, did you?” Ralph— Yes, but I didn’t break training. A Miss is as good as a mile.” Barber— You complain of our charge for shaving, sir; but you must think of the extra labor!” Customer— What extra labor?” Barber— Well, with the high cost of living, gentlemen’s faces are longer than they were.” I’d like to go to a funeral this after¬ noon,” said the office boy to the head clerk. Oh, you would, would you?” snapped the other. Well, you can’t. Just because the boss is away you think you can do as you like. You won’t go.” No, sir, I know I won’t,” sighed the boy. But I’d like to, all the same.” Something tragic and appealing in the youthful voice led the head clerk to ask: Whose funeral?” Your’s sir,” said the boy. Lillian Oliver— ' I’m a big gun at school.” Father— Then why don’t I hear better reports?” A kindly old lady stooped over a reclin¬ ing beggar and produced a penny. The beggar eyed it disdainfully. Ma’am,” he began, did yer read in de paper about de beggar dat died and left a million dollars to a lady dat gave him 099 a quarter: I seem to remember something of the sort,” replied the old lady, but—” Well, dat guy was me brother. Dat’s de kind of a family we are!” Do you travel much in that old flivver of yours?” From coast to coast.” Have you really gone from Maine to California in that boat?” Oh, no. I mean I coast down one hill, tow it up to another, and then coast down again.” Miss Heck— Who ever heard of a sen¬ tence without a predicate?” Huffy— I did.” Miss Heck— What is it?” Huffy— Thirty days.” Mr. Gill— Robert, what is H20?” Fred Schoemann (dreaming of radio) — Isn’t it England?” English class talking about museums: Margaret Moyer— I was in a museum once.” Genevieve Rinehart— What were you supposed to be?” My grandfather,” said the Senior, was a very great man. One day the Queen touched his shoulder with a sword and made him a Lord.” Aw, that’s nothing,” replied the Fresh¬ man, One day an Indian touched my grandfather on the head with a tomahawk and made him an angel.” Ruth Wahl— Would you put yourself out for me?” Ralph Hillman— I certainly would.” Ruth— Well, then, please do. It’s after twelve, and I’m awfully sleepy.” [One hundred sixty-eight] Mother— My angel, I wish you wouldn’t paint!” Daughter— Did you ever see an angel who wasn’t painted?” Do you see this diamond ring? Well, it belonged to a millionaire.” Why, who?” Mr. Woolworth.” Landlord— Do you have any children?” Looking—- No, I’m not married.” Landlord— Do you have any pets, dogs, cats, birds?” Looking— No, not a one. But before I sign up for the place, I want to tell you one thing which may disturb you. I strop my own razor.” THE FIRST WOMAN FLIES ACROSS Are you sure we’re headed in the right direction?” Doesn’t it sound to you as though the engine was skipping?” I’m not quite certain that I’m glad I came. Are you?” Have we got enough gas?” How many more miles is it?” What would you do if one of the tires went flat?” We’re three thousand miles from home? Did you lock the back door?” On Saturday evening the younger mem¬ bers of the family were enjoying some music in the parlor and bedtime drew near. Mother said: Now, children, choose a hymn to finish up with and then you must all say good-night.” Let’s have Ere Again the Sabbath Close,’ ” suggested the seven - year - old daughter. Well, I think that would be more suit¬ able for tomorrow evening,” replied her mother. Oh, but you always air our Sabbath clothes on Saturdays,” replied the girl. While you were reading this, Henry Ford made ten dollars. Wilbur,” said the teacher, use the word ' triangle’ in a sentence.” Wilbur— If fish don’t bite on grass¬ hoppers, try angleworms.” College student (writing home)— How do you spell ' financially?” Roommate — ' F-i-n-a-n-c-i-a-l-l-y’ and you know there are two ' r’s’ in ' embar¬ rassed’.” You have only two or three buildings in this new town of yours.” I know, responded the enthusiastic real¬ tor, but look at the parking space.” Fatleigh— I know a man who looks so much like you that one could hardly tell you apart.” Thinleigh— You haven’t paid him that ten dollars I lent you three months ago, have you?” Barton— What makes your next-door neighbor so unpopular?” Borrows— He’s fixed his lawn-mower so you have to drop a nickel in the slot to make it go.” Your predecessor,” said the traveling salesman’s new employer, has got his bus¬ iness all tangled up, and I expect you will have a difficult task to get order out of chaos.” I don’t know who Chaos is,” replied the new man cheerfully, but I bet I’ll get an order out of him if I have to hang onto him for a week.” HE MISUNDERSTOOD Uncle Mose had put green paint on the garden seat, and the boss had sat on it, ruining the new, cream-colored trousers that Uncle Mose coveted. Ah done tried everything, boss—soap, gas’line, hot iron an’—” Did you try ammonia?” No, boss, no,” he answered, brighten¬ ing. Ah ain’t tried ’em on me, but Ah knows dey’ll fit.” [One hundred sixty-nine] BEYOND HIM Here,” said Teddy’s father, showing the little boy a coin, is a penny three hun¬ dred years old. It was given to me when I was a little boy.” I say!” ejaculated Teddy. Just think of anybody being able to keep a penny as long as that without spending it!” IT DEPENDS A man is never older than he feels,” declared the ancient beau bravely. Now I feel as a two-year-old.” Horse or egg?” asked the sweet young thing brightly. After the epidemic had been checked an old woman protested vigorously when the health officers started to take down the sign they had put up on her house. Why don’t you want us to take it down?” one of the officers asked. ’Ere ain’t be’n a bill collectah neah dis house sence dat sign was nailed up. You-all please let it alone.” A little boy one evening, after he had been put to bed, began to cry pitifully. To soothe him, Mary, the maid, was sent upstairs. After a short lull, the crying broke out with renewed vigor, and the youngster’s father was instructed to investigate the trouble. What’s all the noise about, you young rascal?” he asked. Well, Mary said if I kept on crying a mouse would come out and sit on the end of my bed. I’ve kept crying and he hasn’t come yet!” INCONSISTENT Have you any invisible hair nets?” Yes, ma’am.” Let me see one.” A company which manufactures corn sirup received the following letter: Dear Sirs: Although I have taken six cans of your corn sirup, my feet are no better now than when I started.” NOT HIS PARTY Mr. Mulligan was lying upon his death¬ bed. Mrs. Mulligan was seated at his side, giving what small consolation she could offer in the circumstances. Sure, Mike,” said she, is there inny- thing I cud do fer yez before yuh lave us: Margaret, me darlint,” said he, I think I smell the odor of roastin’ pork. I belave I cut eat a bit of it.” I’m sorry, Mike,” said she, but I can’t cut into that pork roast. We’re savin’ it for the wake.” EVERYBODY HAPPY First S.— Hey, lend me ten dollars, will you, old man? I’m hard pressed.” Second S.— No, but I can tell you how we can both make five dollars.” First— Let’s have it.” Second— I’ll give you five dollars.” A farmer was attacked by a savage dog, and his wife came to his rescue. When she arrived, she found the dog holding on for dear life to the man’s leg. She picked up a stone and was about to throw it at the dog, when the husband, knowing a wom¬ an’s uncertainty in the matter of accuracy, shouted to her: Mary! Mary! Don’t throw the stone at the dog. Throw it at me.” Is your son making himself useful on the farm since he got out of college?” Not yet,” answered Mrs. Hayes, but I’ve painted the tractor a bright red, put a big horn on it, and hung a license tag at the rear. I’m hoping that after awhile, I’ll be able to persuade Sam to drive it occa¬ sionally instead of a sport car.” The man was in a reverie, and the lady in a tantrum. They collided.” The man was in what?” A reverie. And the lady was in a tan¬ trum.” I suppose both machines were badly damaged?” [One hundred seventy] CAN’T BE DID Doctor— Put out your tongue—more than that—all of it.” Mary— But Doctor, I can’t. It’s fas¬ tened at the other end.” STINGY BUG Professor (in zoology lab.): What in¬ sect lives on the least food?” Bright pupil: The moth. It eats holes.” PREPAREDNESS Willie,” said his mother, your hair is wet. You have been in the river again.” Yes, mother,” said Willie bravely; I went in to save Charlie Jones.” My noble darling!” said his mother. Did you jump in after him?” No, Mother,” replied Willie; I jumped in first, so as to be there when he fell in.” A FAIR QUESTION How is it I am not a girl?” Asked Froggie Boy of Daddy Frog. For you’ll recall, when I was young They always called me ' Polly Wog’.” Pa,” inquired his strictly up-to-date off¬ spring, playing with his radio set, what’s the wave-length for Santa Claus?” He wasn’t looking for it, but he found it. When he found it he picked it up and looked for it. Because he couldn’t find it he put it down and walked with it. What was it? Why—a thorn in his foot. A little fellow watching his father shav¬ ing said, Daddy, what makes hair on your face?” God put it there,” his father replied. Oh,” said the youngster. I guess God started to make a dog and then ’cided he had enough. A nearby radio supply store tells us of a woman who came in saying that her room was very stuffy and that she wished to buy one of those radio fans that she had heard so much about. END OF THE LINE It’s too bad,” said Bessie, that there isn’t another little Peters boy.” They have six,” said the mother. I should consider that about enough.” Well,” said the girl, they can all take one another’s clothes as they grow up, but there isn’t any one to take Johnnie’s, and it seems kind of wasteful.” HE KNEW James is very fond of telling his dreams at the breakfast table. One morning his father said, But, Jimmy, I don’t believe you know what a dream is.” Jimmy’s answer came quick and sure; Yes, I do. It’s moving pictures while you’re asleep.” AIN’T IT THE TRUTH? Mother— Herbert, you mustn’t ask your papa so many questions. They irritate him.” Herbert (shaking his head)— It isn’t the questions, ma. It’s the answers he can’t give that makes him sore.” COMFORTING Lily— So yo’ done mortgaged our li’l home?” Mose— Jes’ temp’rarily, honey, till de mortgage am fo’closed.” REASONABLE The bus was making its early-morning trip to connect with the train on a branch line in Mississippi. It was filled with half- awake passengers, with the exception of one very talkative traveling salesman. Fail¬ ing to start the usual conversation, he turned to the negro driver. Sambo,” he said, why in thunder did they put this station so far from the town?” Don’t know, boss,” said the sleepy negro, ’ceptin’ it is dey wants it on de railroad.” GETTING THE VIEW Your advertisement said that at this hotel there is a beautiful view for miles and miles.” So there is. Just put your head out of that window and look up.” [One hundred seventy-one] :W THACHfcRS WHO HKt .N O h OOT THi. ptMrtANT So y T Hh T O yt TeACHfrfi; WHBr THfc pto-ront WAS ftffict. wt A i? £ IVAS NOT H6-R6 N f C 6 |th;$ o hc£ ! c STftf ' f r-Afei - - 0 � , NOTlC l i ' •-! � f- I 1 L£F 7 TTJRI 6 HT--IV WA.Vfc - .- FRANCIS Ket-SfeV, RUrHtOOMUM HARRIET i MntfcrV£: ?, fAARfcARE ' i OLIVER Miss t kLL y A,o 0 TJ C HA K i r ,-wonrH TH tfllVNUflt STAFF .

When the teacher looked over the com¬ position she was not a little puzzled. She couldn’t understand why anybody fond of piscatorial sport should give up in so short a time. Hugh,” she remarked, looking up from the essay, you say that Noah fished for only five minutes?” Because,” was his prompt reply, he only had two worms.” FROM THE CITY The teacher had been telling her class about the rhinoceros family.
