Ada Clow, our teacher and friend, who has made our annual ' a success, do we, the Class of 1922, qratefullq dedicate this volume of the Retro. me 1 22 54? In memoriam True is it that Deathls face seems stern and cold, When he is sent to summon those we love, But all God's angels come to us disguisedg Sorrow and sickness, poverty and death, One after other lift their frowning masks, And we behold the seraph's face beneath, All radiant with the glory and the calm Of having looked upon the front of God. With every anguish of our earthly part The spirit's sight grows clearerg this was meant When Jesus touched the blind n1an's lids with clay Life is the jailer, Death the angel sent To draw the unwilling bolts and set us free. I I 22 - KATHRYN ABBOTT I can not say, and I will not That she is deadiShe is just away! With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand. She has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers there. And you-O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return, Think of her faring on. as dear In the love of There as the love of Here. The usual gay regime of the closing days of the term has been greatly saddened by the illness and death of one of our most popular student-friends, Kathryn Abbott, who died at her home on East Elm street, early Sunday morn- ing, May 14, after an illness of only nine days. Kathryn. the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Abbott, was born here November 19, 1904. She attended the local schools all of her life, having as friends, members of the facility and student body alike, this being in a large measure due to her ever-ready smile, cheerfulness, and quiet disposi- tion. She was a member of the Presbyterian church, and during her high school career was a member of the Cas- talian, Anaid, Latin, L. T. L., and Glee clubs. We wish to extend to her parents our most sincere sympathy, for there is no one who knew Kathryn, who does not realize that her place in the hearts of those in Hartford City high school can never be filled by another. I I 22 - ALICE LODANNA POPEJOY She was a friend indeed With all a friend's best virtues shining bright: It was no broken reed you leaned on, When you trusted to her might. Alice Popejoy, daughter of Mrs. Sarah Redding, died at her home on West Harrison street Christmas day, fol- lowing a brief illness. She was born near Hartford City March 23, 1904, and resided there until about seven years ago when she came with her parents to this city. During these years, until her untimely death she attended the public schools of Hartford City. She was a member of the sophomore class and an active worker in the Intermediate Christian Endeavor of the United Breth- ren church. Alice was quiet and retiring, yet, because of her sunny disposition, she won many friends. She was an ambitious student and true friend. In losing Alice, the school lost one of its best stu- dents. g-is H - 5 s' XX XX QR ff! I 22 SCHOOL THE HIGH q--il-n -Q Finley Geiger, President. SCHOOL BOARD Byron Snell, Secretary. A. L. Frantz, Superintendent. ' F. L. Ervin, Treasurer. Lela Lewis, Clerk ? - Q :il- W .Q W . ' f - - We, the members of the Retro staff and senior class, who have enjoyed a very successful year, do most heartily thank the high school as a whole for their excellent support during the year. We also wish to express our grateful appreciation for the aid and co-operation given us by publishers, engravers, photographers and business men alike. In commenting on the success of this year's annual, we wish to make special mention of those members of the faculty who are greatly responsible for this success. To Mrs. Clow, we owe our utmost thanks for her untiring efforts as editorial advisor for both the Insight and the Retro. This book would be impossible were it not for the financial suc- cess of the class. For this year's success financially, we are indebted to Mr. Murray. By establishing a business-like system, he was able to pilot the class through a better financial year, than was ever enjoyed by any senior class. To Mr. Telle, we also owe great thanks for his timely advice to the Retro staff and senior class during the year. For the success of the dramatics of the senior class, the most credit belongs to Miss Lewis, who coached the class productions both during the junior and senior year. Under her talented guidance the dramatics of the class reached a state of perfection rarely enjoyed by a class in high school and too much priase cannot be given her. ,,.i.l--..- As we, the senior class, go forth from the never to be forgotten halls of Hartford high, we realize that a new era is dawning in our lives. Our trial test is over, and the big test ahead of us, must be met and solved by us alone. We can not hope to place our names in the annals of fame, by leaning on the shoulders of others, but we must begin to strive for ourselves. Our success will be measured by the efforts we put forth. If we choose to become mere drifters, our station in life will always be such. He who strives for success and becomes interested in his work is always most happy, but the drifter will go drifting on through a monotonous existence, worthless to himself and to all others as well. 4 I .,..

I saw in the beautiful waters Gliding past me, now without strife, Pictures of days so dear to us all, Days of our high school life. Days full of light and carefree laughter: Days when our lives were in fullest bloom: Days that were merriest of ally Glad days that ended all too soon. Four years sped rapidly ong lt seemed just that number of days. Then in the spring of twenty-two Came our sad parting of ways. Now we go forth into this wide world As the sun shines and the skies are blue. May our future life be as our past! Farewell, Farewell, Class of twenty-two. Anne Anderson.

Our high school days are through We've studied hard each lesson, learned each ruleg Now we go forth some glorious work to do. As through the years we journeyed toward this day, Oft times we wearied of the tiresome grind, And wished the time would come when we could say, Good-by old school-we're leaving you behind. y But now too soon we find the day is near, When we must set our feet on Life's rough road, When we must leave for good our school-days dear And shoulder, each of us, his heavy load. And now, too late, we realize at last, Our school-days are the happiest we'll know, And we remember joyous days now past, And almost wish it was not time to go. But we are youngg our hearts are full of cheer, We put all sorrow by and dream of days When in the sunshine of some future year, The whole wide world will echo with our praise. And so good-by-we do not say this class Is better than all others, but we do Believe that there is none that can surpass Our own dear class of Nineteen Twenty-two. Elizabeth Chapman, '22, i I 22 - - C ass Histor I. From north and south, east and west, came a throng of brilliant- looking boys and girls. Smiling, they plodded along the weary road until they reached their destination. Here they knocked and the Doors of Knowledge opened unto them, and they shyly entered to be prison- ers for four years. ' So our high school course began September 9, 1918. As we went down the halls to the various rooms, the upper-classmen looked on us, and smiled, and called us green. Thus the bashful little freshies were made the subject of the day's entertainment. The boys were fearful of the upper-classmen whom they spied with clippers, scissors, and other frightful implements in their hands, and the girls were directed quite frequently to some dignified senior assembly. However, nothing seri- ous happened and soon all began to feel at home within the prison walls. Early in the semester a meeting of the class was called and oflicers were elected. Malcolm Moore was elected Presidentg Esther Groves, Vice-President, and Denzil Cheney, Secretary-Treasurer. Pearl gray and cherry red were chosen as the class colors at this meeting. At the beginning of the second semester Laurel Hullinger and oth- ers entered the class, making it number about one hundred. With work well done and much enjoyment throughout the year, the freshmen had the satisfaction of seeing their first year in high school come to a suc- cessful close. II. Our sophomore year was even more successful-the newness had worn off and our shoes no longer squeaked. When the beginning of the year found only seventy-three enrolled in the sophomore class, everyone asked, Where are the missing ones? But some had departed to other schools while a number had discontinued their high school career. Several new ones joined our number, however, and all were desirous to gain more knowledge. Soon after the opening of the school year a class meeting was held. Harley Anderson was elected President, Hope Gadbury, Vice-Presidentg and Lucile Edwards, Secretary-Treasurer. We must not forget to mention the examinations which occurred every six weeks. The last few hours before time for the exams were ones of suspense, for everyone wondered who would be exempt. A hick and ham party was held in the high school gym April 7, 1920. All reported a good time. From this time on the days passed swiftly until the close of the school year. With two years gone, and two to come, we left Hartford High for a few months' rest. . 22 - - III. Only sixty returned for the third lap of their high school journey. These were more determined to finish their course than ever before. To manage the affairs of the class during the year the following were elected: Richard Polleys, President, Lucile Edwards, Vice-Presidentg and Mary Jane Peterson, Secretary-Treasurer. After a few weeks more had passed, another meeting was called, and the class decided to secure their rings and pins in the junior year, as there would be many other expenses in the senior year. Numerous pa1'ties and general assemblies were held during the year 3 and we arrived at the period in the history of the class of TWEN- TY-TWO when we must begin to plan for the annual junior-senior reception. According to the usual custom a play was decided upon as a means of raising money for this occasion. After much discussion, the class selected the play, Why Smith Left Home, which was a great suc- cess. With the funds ready, the juniors began great plans for the recep- tion which was the climax of the activities of the year. It was said to be the most successful one ever given in the high school. About two hundred were present, including the school board, the faculty, and mem- bers of the junior and senior classes. IV. At last September came and found approximately fifty-seven ready to begin their homeward stretch. This was also the hardest year, as there was more to be done by this class than they had done in the previous years. As was the custc-ni the Seniors made pla11s early in the year to pub- lish the Insight and Retro. Since the form of the Insight was changed, everyone was kept busy helping to make the publication successful. As a means of procuring funds for the publication, the class had a booth at the fall festival, gave two benefit shows at the Orpheum during the year, and sold candy at the school building. In order to get the class in good working condition, officers must be chosen. Laurel Hullinger was elected Presidentg Thomas Westfall, Vice-President, Keith Duff, Secretary, and Neil Daily, Treasurer. A council of five was also elected to conduct the business affairs of the class. A new council was chosen every three months. During the second semester the senior class was increased to fifty- eight. The one big object of the class at this time was to make the Retro a decided success. To do this meant a great amount of work and money. Through the assistance of Mrs. Clow, Mr. Murray, and the senior class as a whole, this was put over the top. Early in April of this year the play, Miss Somebody Else, was staged under the supervision of Miss Lewis. Everyone agreed that this was well given. Then came the practices for the class day and commencement exer- cises. These and other activities have kept us more than busy until the closing days of the year have arrived. With graduation near we begin to feel that our high school career has been very successful, and we are inclined to be just a wee bit sorry that we are so near the end. We shall miss our associations together as a class, but we shall always remember those happy days and years spent in Hartford High. is K l 22 By Florence Smith. - - Last will and Cfestament As we the class of 1922, are about to embark upon the life of exper- ience, from the pity and anxious care of our dear faculty, who have daily trained and drilled us in all the knowledge of the ages, we do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills and promises, by us at any time here- tofore made, or carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. We, the senior class as a whole, do freely give the following: To our dear faculty, we do give our grateful thanks and wish them many years of rest, free from care and toil, as a token of their solicitude for us. . To the Junior High, we do give and bequeath our ability to bluff, said ability to be employed by them when they have the honor of becom- ing freshmen. To the freshmen, we do give and bequeath our abliity to obtain numerous demerits, during the assembly periods. Be careful, freshmen!

This, our last will and testament, we do set forth with our consent. affixed with our seal, this the twenty-eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord, 1922. ROXIE BORROR. DOROTHY COOK. MARTHA GRANT. I I 22 -+ - vin Russell, the noted milliner. A letter with the monogram, Chamber of Commerce, Winterhurst. Ind., attracted my attention. Opening it, I discovered that M. Moore was president of the C. of C. and Cecil Moyer, secretary. Cecil was well qualified for the position, having gained considerable knowledge as office boy for the H. C. C. of C. during his high school days. The next letter proved to be an invitation to attend the opening ball of Eaton park which had recently been purchased by Colene McEl- roy. She wrote that she had issued five hundred invitations and that the dances conducted there in the future would be above reproach, as she was now a member of the W. C. T. U., and did not believe in such immoral dances as the waltz and the minuet. Crystal Strete and Jessie King wrote that both had been disap- pointed in love and they were now in charge of the Column for Lonely Hearts in the Chicago Examiner. An inclosed statement from the edi- tor showed that the two girls were very eflicient in their work, due to their many and varied experiences. One letter was from Estel Rouse who was the evangelistic singer in a revival that was being held in Hong Kong, China. To my great surprise, I learned that Richard Emshwiller was the evangelist, and so great was his power that nearly all China had been converted to Christianity, and Richard had recently been offered a high church posi- tion if he would locate permanently in China. An official letter contained the news that Senator L. Hullinger was intrc-ducing a bill in Congress, proposing that the salaries of all Con- gressmen be increased fifty per cent. He confided to me that his motive for doing this was that he might meet the bills, due to the extravagance of his wife, who was formerly Hope Gadbury. To my great sorrow I noted that one of the letters was from Mich- igan City. It was from Edith Honey who was doing prison reform work. She stated that four Hartford City men were there. She named Ben Beaty, committed on a charge of bigamyg Ollie Dubois, bootleg- gingg Roy Borror and Russell Frantz, speeding. Roy and Russell had knocked the spire off St. Peter's Cathedral, while enroute to Hartford City from New York in an aeroplane. A letter from Burr Cole informed me, that he had turned out very differently from what we had expected. He had been led astray, by listening to cabaret music over the radio-phone. Burr wrote that Clar- ence Russell had just published a book, How to Make Love. Clarence had decided to read his book once again, and then propose to Maralean Everett, who was working in a five and ten store in Chicago. Edna Mosier wrote that she is living in the Sunny South. She is still unmarried, but she has been seriously considering the question as to whether she cares to devote her entire life to white-cotton or not. Esther Groves, who is staying with her, is conducting a matri- monial bureau. It seemed that Lucile Edwards still lived in Hartford City. She wrote that she and Harley had been married almost twenty years and that she was now the leader of Hartford City's Four Hundred. She said, that Bee Crissman was working at Elzey's Cafe and, in another year would have money enough to take a trip to Hong Kong, China, where she might meet old friends. One of the letters contained the news that Earl Beeson and Gladys Wolfe were conducting a soft drink parlor in Greenland. Gladys said that, considering the climate, they had a very thriving business and that - - Class Pro c-:cu At last the twenty-fourth day of May, 1942, had arrived and most of the members of the class of nineteen twenty-two had kept the prom- ise which they had made twenty years before. This promise was to write me concerning their whereabouts twenty years after their grad- uation night. Letters poured in from the four corners of the earth. One large purple-hued letter was postmarked Johannesburg, South Africa. From whom could it be? The question was soon answered. for I immediately opened it. I looked at the signature and found it to be from Dorothy Cookg I eagerly read the letter. Dorothy was conducting a laundry down in Africa but was on the verge of starvation because of the gen- eral clothes shortage. From Dorothy's letter I learned that Martha Grant and Frances McEldowney had been traveling with a vaudeville troupe, but during their tour through Africa, both had fallen in love with a cannibal chief and were now bitter rivals in his harem. The next letter was from Lola Younce who was now residing at Mud Creek, Idaho. On the night of our graduation, Paul Ford, escort- ing her home, had fallen madly in love with her. Upon Lola's refusal to marry him, he had turned caveman and had carried her to Montpelier from which place they boarded a train for the West, where they were now living as happy as two bugs in a rug. A pale green envelope bore the postmark of Greenwich Village. N. Y. Upon opening the letter, I found that Florence Smith, Mary Hunt, Ruth Frazier, and Roxia Borror were all artist's models and were lead- ing a wild Bohemian life. Mary, it seemed, was in a very poor state of health, due to excessive cigarette smoking. With a gasp of astonish- ment, I reached for the next letter. This proved to be from Wlliiam Van Steenburg who was touring Europe. Irene Castle had deserted her second husband in order that she might trip the light fantastic toe with Bill. Bill wrote, that it took nearly all their income to buy Sloan's liniment to keep Irene in fit danc- ing condition. During his travels through Russia he had met Neil Daily, who had an immense crop of whiskers, and who was at the head of the Bolshevik army which was at the present time storming the Castle of Princess Romanhoff, formerly Violet Peck. Violet had nursed Prince Romanhoff back to health and he, in return for the service, had mar- ried her. The next letter smelled strongly of Two-in-One shoe polish. This was from Velma Rapp who was conducting a shoe-shining establish- ment in Chicago. During a slump in business, she took up barbering as a side line, employing Marie Bosman as her assistant in her magniti- cent tonsorial parlors. Velma was raving over a chic little bonnet that she had just purchased from the millinery shop, conducted by M. Mar- - -R they had employed Forest Fosher as a waitress. There was a hastily scribbled note from Clara Pursley, who was on picket duty at a factory, where a strike was taking place. The fac- tory was owned by Charles Rawlings. The next letter was written in poetry, sadly telling me that Eliza- beth Chapman had been reduced to utmost poverty because the pub- lishers in France did not appreciate classic American poetry. But she declared, in the strongest poetry possible, that she would never lower her talents into Writing the favorite shallow jingles, which the frivolous French so admired. She stated that, to get material for her works, she had attended a spiritualist meeting where she had discovered Helen Bush and Catherine Dee, two famous spiritualists. Each gave her a dollar and called forth for her the spirit of Shelley who gave her a lot of inside information that would make her poems successful. The next letter I opened was from Gladys Clapper, who wrote that she and Keith Duff were doing a tight wire stunt in connection with the Barnum-Bailey shows. Kathryn DeWees was also traveling with the said company as a snake-charmer. Gladys said that once in a while the company was fortunate enough to secure the services of Tom Westfall, the noted hypnotist, who used Mable Rader as his subject. I was rather humiliated by the next letter, for instead of a letter, it proved to be an advertisement, asking me if I didn't think my house needed redecorating. Bernice Bittner and Dick Polleys had formed a company, Polleys and Bittner, Exclusive Interior Decorators. Just one letter left, I was prepared now for almost anything, so I opened it and found that Mary Peterson, Doris Townsend and Dorothy Younce were now traveling with an orchestra that played for moon- light dances on lake steamers. Mary operated the drums, Doris played on a jew's harp and Dorothy was an accomplished player of the accordion. It was not until late that afternoon that I found a little envelope which had fallen behind my best horse-hair sofa. This contained an invitation from Georgia Maxwell and James McAtee, to their wedding breakfast, immediately after which they were to sail for the Island of Jalapa where they would do missionary work. As I sat down to write my acceptance of the invitation-my thoughts wandered back to that day of the long ago-May 25, 1922. While I could not overcome a certain feeling of sadness and regret, still this was, in a measure, overbalanced by a strong sense of pride which stirred me, as I considered the places of responsibility and trust which the members of the class of twenty-two were filling. I felt that the promises given on that distant day had been worth while, and my heart rejoiced. ANNE ANDERSON. C ass Son fhlusic to Sweethearts of A Sigma Clii. l When the world goes wrong, as it's bound to do, And you've traveled life's troubled ways, And you long for the class you used to know, The class of the far-gone daysg When you light your pipe, bid sorrow avauntg Blow the smoke from your altar of dreams, And wreathe the faces of your classmates there, The pals that were just what they seemed. Chorus: The dreams of your class are the nicest dreams Of all the dreams I know. Each sweet coed, like a rain-bow trail, Fades in the after glow. The black of the nights and the gold of the days Are blended in life's colored hue, And the moon-light beams on the class of your It's the class of twenty-two. Every magic breeze wafts a thought to you From the days of the by-gone years And one by one, the friends you know Bow to your silent fears. And the years drift by on the tides of time. All the class have forgotten but you. Then the life of your dreams, the truer seems With the class of twenty-two.

With the help of Mrs. Clow many excellent programs were given. A St. Patrick's banquet was held, at which time twenty of our noble young men and women received the highest and latest degrees of ini- tiation. The officers of the club were: High Chancellor, Mac Moore, Vice Chancellors, Ben Beatty and Kathryn DeWees, Scriviner, Beatrice Criss- man, Steward, Burr Cole, Chief Bouncer or Serg. at Arms-Dick Pol- leys. QThey say that he has received his M. A. degree i11 this art.J . COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial club was organized last year. at the suggestion of Mr. Murray, for the purpose of creating a greater interest in the com- mercial work. , Those eligible for the club are, seniors taking bookkeeping, short- hand and typewriting. Alumni members are also permitted to attend the meetings of the club. Very interesting and helpful programs are given at each meeting. The officers of the present year are as follows: President, Neil Daily, Vice-President, Catherine Dee, Secretary-Treasurer, Anne Ander- son, Advisory Board, Mr. Murray, Miss Marian Short, Neil Daily. 1 ANAID CLUB The Anaid Club has for its supervisor this year, Miss Lilly, who has shown her deep interest in the girls. Many interesting and instruc- tive talks and splendid programs have been given during the year at the club meetings. Those who have talked before the club at the differ- ent meetings are: Dr. Robertson, of Glasgow, Scotland, Miss Peter- son, of the Red Cross Department of Indianapolis, Dr. Buckles, Miss Fordney, Miss Cribbs, Miss Seiler, Miss Borden, Miss Lilly and several members of the club. The club affairs were very unique, among them being a clever val- entine party, a hike, May day party, and a B. B. 0. G. B. and Anaid event. The officers of the club are: President, Martha Grant, Vice Presi- dent, Margaret Jane Cox, Secretary, Mary Jane Peterson, Treasurer. May Lyon, Sergeant-at-Arms, Ruby Johnson. -6 - THE COMMERCIAL CLL' B - - ' THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra this year is quite an improvement over the organi- zation of last year for several reasons. In the first place, we have some very good musicians: second, we play popular music along with the famous old masterpieces. The players and the instruments played are: Two cornets, Joe Lucas and Adolph Weilerg four saxaphones, Edna Snell, Don Jones, Ben Beatty, Rollin Needlerg two violins, Cleola Lord, Thelma Wise, French horn, Nelson Wise, trombone, Forest Chalfantg tiute, Tom Westfall, piano, Irene Coulson. If you have anything similar to a musical ear, or are capable of rec- ognizing good music. you will surely say it is some orchestra. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club was organized this year under the capable direction of the music supervisor, Miss Lucy B. True. Although the glee club has not given any special musical program as had been plan- ned, the girls have appeared before various meetings and assemblies during the year. The members of the club feel that this has been a successful year. and that the work of the club has been worth while. B. B. O. G. B. The B. B. O. G. B. Club was organized again this, the third year, and several new members were enrolled. The following officers were elected: President, Lawrence Babbitt, Vice President, Richard Polleysg Secretary, Laurel Hullingerg Treasurer, Charles Rawlings. The club supported the Old Gold and Black fwith their pepl through- out the year. Abe Emshwiller, Hartford's unequaled Cheer Leader, was also given the support of the club. Several big feeds and programs were given which were well backed by the members, and better fellowship was created. Mr. Grinstead was advisor of the club and much of the success enjoyed during the year must be credited to him. - I 22 GLEE CLUB GIRLS' - - LATIN CLUB The Latin Club was organized this year under the name of Latina Sodalitas. Vitae non scholae discimusf' was chosen for the motto. The permanent officers were elected: Ruby Johnson, President, and Nelson Wise, Secretary-Treasurer. A different program committee was selected by the president for each time. The club consisted of members of the Cicero class only, and the meetings were held every two weeks. It was organized under the supervision of Miss Harter. The purpose of the organization was that the members might be- come better acquainted with Roman life and customs. During the first semester a study was made in detail of the Roman forum and other mon- uments of ancient Rome. During the second semester, matters pertain- ing to Roman private life, and the value of Latin to different occupa- tions, were emphasized. This was supplemented by Latin games, music. and humorous selections in Latin. At the closing meeting of the year, the members, with their invited guests, enjoyed a picnic. They all felt they had enjoyed an interesting and beneficial year. SCIENCE CLUB We are very proud to say that we have a very enthusiastic, progres- sive Science Club in our high school, under the supervision of the science instructors, Mr. Grinstead and Mr. Rader, who have made this club a success. Early in the first semester the few old members who were left, met. in Mr. Grinstead's room and drew up a constitution, appointed officers, and decided to enlarge the club by asking all pupils whose grades were high enough, and who belonged to the general science classes, to join the club. The children, although much younger than most science club members, have been a great help, and have seemed to be greatly inter- ested. Later in the term the following officers were elected: President, Kathryn DeWeesg Vice-President, Nelson Wise, Secretary and Treas- urer, Fay McMichaelsg Sergeant-at-Arms, Marion Linder. Now you younger members of the club must keep up the good work, for who knows, you may be some of the world's greatest scientists in -Q I 22 IENCE CLUB HE SC T METERS 1. 'p ..- Cfho lnsiqht and Retro Owing to the new form of the Insight this year, the work of the staff has been more difficult and more extensive than in previous years. Much more news and other material were required for the semi-monthly paper than for the monthly magazine, and it was very necessary that every member of the staff be on the job and get his work in on time. The staff has proven very efficient and, with the help and support of the faculty and school, it has been successful in making the Insight, in paper form, a big success.

The play was a four-act comedy-drama and all the members of the cast handled their respective roles in a very credit- able manner. The scene of the play is laid in the Tuxedobrook club house, fast deteriorating under the management of Mrs. Jasper Delavan, whose husband is too deep in his experiments with Ozonia to give heed to busi- ness affairs, while Mildred, their frivolous daughter, is too much inter- ested in pretty clothes to bother about the family finances. Just as Mrs. Delavan is ready to give up, a visitor arrives in the person of Miss Constance Darcy, the daughter of a multi-millionaire, whose mother had been a close friend of Mrs. Delavan. With her came her pretty little French maid, Celeste, and her dignified chauffeur, John. Constance, with the help of Cruger Blainwood, a young society man, who is in love with her, rejuvenates the club house and makes it so popular and prosperous that Mildred Delavan can hardly recognize the place when she returns home. Constance, herself, assumes the role of an Irish maid, Nora O'Brien, both for the purpose of enjoying herself and also to assist her in find- ing the man who robbed her father of a large sum of money. She soon discovers that Ralph Hastings, supposedly a wealthy society man, is in reality this crook and she determnies to bring him to justice. Hastings is supposed to be engaged to Fay Blainwood, Crug- er's sister, but he is also making love to Mildred and even attempts a flirtation with Nora. The climax of the play comes on the night of the annual bazaar when Hastings persuades Mildred to elope with him. He is overheard by Constance and she determines to prevent this. Assisted by Cruger, she succeeds in thwarting Hastings' plans and after a thrilling scufiie between Hastings and Cruger, he is captured and accused of the theft. He escapes, but is arrested outside. Constance is then introduced as her real self and Cruger announces their engage- ment. The comedy portion of the play came in the part of Susan, the dole- ful maid, who caused much laughter by her remarks concerning funerals and obituary columns. Vaudeville was presented between the acts by the two Jewish Gentlemen, Abe and Ike, they look alike. The play was ably directed by Miss Lewis and showed a great deal of hard work both on her part and on that of the cast. The cast follows: Constance Darcy, daughter of a multi-millionaire - Beatrice Crissman Celeste, a French maid employed by Constance - - Martha Grant Ann Delavan, manager of the Club House ---- Clara Pursley Mildred Delavan, daughter of Ann and Jasper Delavan - Gladys Clapper Mrs. Blainwood, a society leader of Tuxedobrook - - Gladys Wolf Fay Blainwood, Mrs. Blainwood's debutante daughter - Marie Bosman Alice Stanley, graceful society girl ----- Esther Groves Freda Mason, a typical society girl ------ Edith Honey .

Just ask anyone who saw the show! Jimmy not only walked into the factory, but into all our hearts as well, so that we followed him almost breathlessly as the action went on-sympathized with his sorrows, laughed at his wit, appreciated his business ability, envied his optimism, and admired his bravery. And after the final curtain had fallen, we felt that those hours we had spent had been well spent, if we but counted the enjoyment, and that was not all the play gave-there was a cheery sort of philosophy in it all-a sc-mething that seemed to make life just a little more joyful. and we found ourselves unconsciously remembering Jimmy's favorite line, You're just handsome when you smile like that, and noticing what an improvement smiles were over frowns. When Jimmy walked into the Cinderella Baby Shoe factory, its middle-aged owner was almost at the end of his resources. In his cheer- ful energetic way, he transformed the run-down factory into a thriv- ing one, the worn-out owner, Mr. Trellevan, into a prosperous manu- facturer, the dismal shipping clerk, into a light-hearted young busi- ness man, the misguided young Billie Blake, into an honest man, and last but not least, won the heart of the pretty young bookkeeper, Kitty Blake. Although the play was not an easy one, Jimn1y's part in particular being long, and difiicult to memorize, the characters all starred in their respective roles, and in the opinion of the majority of the audience it was one of the finest plays ever given here. The character acting was especially well carried out, particularly the part of John Trellevan, This character showed real talent and attained an unusual degree of excellence for a high school production. The comedy, too, was admirably taken care of by the forelady, Miss Rogers, and Andy, the negro. Let us give the credit for the excellence of this play to the person who most deserves it, for it was only by means of the time and interest that Miss Lilly gave to the directing of this play, that it was made the success it certainly proved. - The cast follows: V Jimmy, who walked in ------- - Nelson Wise John Trellevan, owner of the Cinderella factory - - Marion Linder Arnold Baker, his nephew ------ - Harry Gable I I 22 -+ - 'KBORROVVING TROUBLE Hiram Higgins, his landlord - - - Lawrence Babbitt Isaiah Bartlett ------- - Floyd Lynch Moses Graham, creditor from Rochester - Forest Chalfant Bobbie Day, a shipping clerk at the factory - - Rollin Needler Billie Blake, Kitty's brother ----- - Lee Wilson Andy, negro at the factory ----- - - Roy Tritle Officer --------- - Charles Hively Kitty Blake, bookkeeper at the factory - - - May Lyon Miss Rogers, the factory's forelady - - - - Mary Knott Factory girls, mail man, express man, etc. Borrowing Trouble During the course of the year, the senior class presented two benefit shows, both of which were given at the Orpheum Theatre. The first was given February 7 and 8 when a feature picture, The Little Minister, was shown with an added attraction, a one-act comedy, Borrowing Trouble, which proved a roaring success. The second production of the year was given March 27, when in addition to the feature film, Corinne Griffith in Received Payment, and a comedy, The Bell Hopf with Joe Martin, the famous monkey comedian, another one-act comedy was produced, The Darky Wood Dealer. Large crowds were in attendance at both of these shows. I 22 - - Fortunc-ss of Ill-1r The Castalian Club decided to put on a play at one of its regular meetings, so a cast was selected which got busy and produced the stel- lar production, Fortunes of War. It is too bad that so few of the students were able to witness this play, for it really was clever. In order that you may know what you missed, a synopsis follows: The play opens with a business meeting in the sorority room of the Tau Phi Gammas, an organization which is trying its best to be just like a fraternity, in spite of the fact that the boys are so secretive and will scarcely tell a thing. The girls are expecting a visit from a distinguished member of their sorority, who is to assist them in their organization, when they are interrupted by a present from the fraternity, which proves to be an effigy in ridicule of them. They determine to punish the boys by not speaking to them, when they are once more interrupted by the news that their expected visitor has arrived. They greet her and confide to her all their club secrets which they have guarded so closely from the boys, until they discover that Miss Durand is Jack, one of the frater- nity members, who has successfully outwitted them. However, they made reprisal by keeping him prisoner in the room, when he is sup- posed to play on a basketball team of which he is captain. At last, after many promises and entreaties, he is released upon payment of eighteen pounds of candy. The play was given under the direction of Mrs. Clow, and the cast follows: Lucile Everett ---------- Kathryn DeWees Evelyne Zavier - - Beatrice Crissman Mildred Halton - - - Helen Bush Flora Cunningham ---- - - Elizabeth Chapman Polly Brown ------- ---- V elma Rapp lMembers of the Tan Phi Gamma Secret Society? Jack --------- - - - Forest Chalfant T0111 - ----------- Ben Beaty fMemhers of the Alpha Beta Fraternityl Faces Did you ever stop to notice As you walked along your way The many faces that you meet And what they seem to say? Some have such a glad expression And they greet you with a smile That's the kind that makes you feel That life is really quite worth while. Then you pass some not so cheerful, In the face, there lingers sadness That you ever wish to banish And replace with carefree gladness. Then there's the happy mother's face With its love-lit eyes so true, And the face of toiling father Who ever works so hard for you. But the child's face seems to me God's greatest masterpiece of art, For in it one can ever see Expressions coming from the heart. These and many more expressions One can see on every hand, Expressions which reiiect the life As it is lived in every land. -Anne Anderson. Wim QI , IGL - - C-The Ci-1 end.-1r September, 1921.

Ailmleiics Nj x - CHARLES HhZN RAWIAINGS--Floor Guard. Hen tcaptainl came from last year's Var- sity. He was the smallest man on the team and we hate to see him graduate and leave us this spring. Hen showed his ability as a player when he made th-e big Anderson boys bow to Hartford City for the iirst time. I-le has also earned a gold basket-ball medal for his splen- did playing. ,LIAM L Ll, VANS'l'l'IICNDERG-fAB. Guard. Bill was center on the second team last year but developed better form this year as our big stumbling block for the opposing team's offensive. Rig Bill caged the longest basket at the dis- trict tourney. He graduates this year, so he is lost to the school. Fl.OYD 'tS'l'llB l.YNCHYCente1'. Stub will be with the team for another year and we are sure he will make good next year. He was second high point man this year. Stub bac me ill at the middle of the schedule and never :gain regained his pace. When in action he controls a wonderful left hand. IORIINI SUNNY SINCLAIR--Forward. Sinuy, one of the two men around whom this year's team was built. was high point man this year and we all wish him luck, that he may be able to pull down the same honor next, year. He is a small man but mighty hard for an opponent to hold. Sinny will be with us through another year. I 22 - LAWRENCE RED BABBITT-Forward. Red was the surprise of the team this year. He came from the sophomore class team of last year and he made things move so fast that at the end of the year he could not be beat. It's Red because his hair is red. l f ESTEL EK RUVSE-Forward. Ek, a. forward on the team, was a forward on the second team last year. He, however, played part of the schedule last year with the Varsity. VVe lose him also this year. RVSSELL Kl l ' FRANTZ-Center. , Hut, as floor guard on last year's second , team. became sub-center on this year's Varsity. . He was always there with the smile and the right spirit. Rat, played a stellar game both on the bench and floor. We hate to see him go. LAUREL SHOR'l'Y Hl'l,LINGERA-Guard. Shorty played during pa1't of last year on the second team and the remaining time on the ' Varsity. He is a small fellow hut very hard for t an opponent to get around. He is a real whirl- wind and always made a good showing. Shorty graduates this year. I I 22 PAUL J. SWANKwCoach. Coach Paul Swank has served two years as athletic director in the Hartford City school. As coach of the basket-ball team, he combines the rare qualities of tact, gentlemanliness, and firm- ness so necessary to the successful handling of any team. He has had considerable experience as a basket-ball player, playing on the Wingate high school team that won the state tourneys in 1913 and 15114. FLOYD F'I.ObSIl+1 Fll+1LDSfForward. Flossie advanced from the freshman class team ot' last year to the Varsity. He showed up well as a forward the first of the year, but dur- ing the last part of the season served mainly as a sub. We hope to see him step high. wide, and handsome in the next two years and develop into a wonderful center or forward. CH.'RI.ES POPCORN HIVELY4Guard. Popcorn showed his ability as a guard play- ing with the second team against Marion's sec- ond leiilll. So well did he show up, that from then on he was carried with the Varsity. He will appgar with next year's team as floor guard. RICHARD ABE EMSHWILLER--Cheer Leader. Abe will always be remembered for his intro- duction of the Victory Song. which I am sure made the hit of the year. Seldom tif ever before? have we had with us one whose school spirit, in boosting the Old Gold and Black, has been equal- led by that which Abe has given us this year. He is deserving of much praise from the facility and student body as a whole. I 22 . I 22 5 ,- .1 rw -- 4 5 D2 Z cu Z Q.. al Q., EZ 5 fv -.. gf lf.

The juniors, in the first clash of the inter-clash tourney, defeated the eighth grade, with little difficulty, by a score of 24-5. The upper classmen outclassed their opponents at all stages of play. The juniors' offensive was excellent and piled up a good lead before the eighth graders started. The juniors did not enter the tourney until the semi-finals and so were not really tired, when their final clash for the title came with the freshmen. This game was perhaps the hardest fought of the tournament and was a brilliant exhibition throughout. The juniors first entered the scoring book, when Maddox caged a long one. By fast pass work and accurate ability to hit the basket, the juniors were able to keep in the lead throughout the first half, which ended 10-7 in their favor. The freshmen showed up as though to win in the last half, and made the juniors exert themselves, to keep up. The end of the regular period ended with the score 14 to 14. In the over time period both sides had chances from the foul line, but both failed to throw the winning goal. Tobey saved the day for the juniors, when he slipped through the freshmen guard for the winning basket. Principals Telle and Swank selected the all-star class team follow- ing the close of the tourney. Holton and W. Maddox, forwards: Reasoner, centerg B. Maddox and Hively, guards.
