Celia was one of the most popular girls in the school, and belonged to the Q. Y. K., Anaid, and Science clubs. She was a talented pianist and appeared on numerous occasions before the school and public. She left many friends to mourn her death. The year was left unfinished when she went. Bleak days had passed, and trembling spring Had just awakened everything. But oh, what beauty her young life has meantg What calm completeness and content! 1511 5 xy , X 1 wi?

MARTHA KEGERREIS '25 DOROTHA ANDERSON '25 1 Retro Class Histor T'S just like old times to be together again, isn't it, Maurine? I am so glad to be back home after all these years, and you and Paul have such a cozy little home here. It seems so quiet and peaceful tome after my home in Borneo, with the trudging hours in the Banana Canning Factory and the care of my twelve children after working hours. Really, I can notice a difference. Well, Ruth, I 'would be glad to have a change. I'haven't been out of town since we went to Muncie to the basket'-ball game, when we were in high school. Q Well, you are to be pitied. But say, where are all those children going? , I Why, I don't know g is there a circus iiiltown today? Why, no, school begins today! I Oh, school! It has been fifteen years sinlce we were in school, and weren't those happy, carefree days? I Yes, it was September 12, 1921, when'those one hundred and five self-important Freshmen assembled to' begin their educational careers. It wasn't until Monday, October , that we were allowed to have our first class meeting and organize thle class of '25. We elected Phil Holton, presidentg Reuben Willman, vicel-fpresidentg Maurine Hob- son, 'secretaryg Canis Brockway, treasurer. 'We chose red and black for our class colors. Our first social event as the Hallowe'en party held in the gym, then in the spring came ouq first hayride. Miss Bor- den and Mr. Swank, as class advisors, guided our weighty affairs through the year. I ' It wasn't long until we had started on 'our Sophomore year and how important we were, now in the Senior 1+ssembly, members of the Senior High School. School began September 11 this year, and by this time we had but eighty-five members. 'It was on September 29 that we met to re-organize our class. Phil Holton was re-elected president 5 Canis Brockway, vice-president, Riuth Cronin, secretary and treasurer. Miss Kruke and Mr. Myers were chosen as advisors. There was only one thing to darken the beginning of our school year: the absence of one of our most popular membersi, Celia Smilack, who was killed July 13, 1922. ' Paul Herbst from Bluffton, and Leslie! Arnold from Louisville, Kentucky, were added to our class this yeari We held several social functions and remember our Sophomore year as a year of good times. . Then came our Junior year. And now, we were among the upper classmen of H. C..H. S. School began september 10, and our enroll- s ' A QI. .. . ., M -luhnws Z ' M ' I. I.. ., J f 'ws 5'Ef.l.V! was-0 ment had decreased to seventy-three members. Kenneth Parker and Maurice Hildebrand were new members this year. Phil Holton was again re-elected presidentg Reuben Willman, vice-president, Mildred Cheney, secretary, Canis Brockway, treasurer. Miss Kruke was our advisor for the year, and did much for the success of our class. This year we had more serious affairs to meet and felt our responsibilities. On December 19, we gave our class play, 'Clarence,' which proved to be a charming comedy, staged by a talented cast. Our calencfar for this year showed few social activities, for weightier affairs were on our minds. All year we planned for the Junior-Senior Reception, which was held May 16. This was the outstanding event of our high school activities and we'll never forget it. On September 2 we started our last year in H. C. H. S. The officers of the preceding year were re-elected, and capably served their class. VVe found ourselves busy this year with the management of the Insight and Retro. Our first social of the year was the pot-luck supper held at the high school. At the beginning of the second semester, we held a series of markets for the purpose of raising money for the Retro. The week of February 16-20 was observed as Retro Week, and we Seniors made a Retro campaign. X Yes, and don't you remember the class play, 'Three Wise Fools,' which was such a big success. Indeed, we were proud of our girls' and boys' teams which won the inter-class tourneys this year, making a double victory. S We were very busy toward the end of the term, preparing for Class Day and Commencement, which none of us shall ever forget. We shall always remember our days in old Hartford High as the best and happiest days of our lives.

J Ashley Emshwiller, Jr., leaves a very generous gift to the Junior class. A box containing twenty-four faces, only a few of which have been willed directly to certain students. Hi face of earnestness he leaves to his Chemistry friend, John DeWees,, his face of gladness to Frances Jenkins, his face of agony to any one ,risking to wear it. JUST TRY TO WEAR IT! Ash is also leaving a ncertain Sophomore friend with much regret. I Robert Hendricks leaves the proceeds froin the advertising of Mail Pouch and Honest Scrap to the school. Bela, a hip-pocket makes a good billboard. , Ralph Cheesman leaves his silent but gneat admiration for a cer- tain Senior girl-yes, a blonde and an essay prize winner, to Frank Forkner. Frank says his blonde is not an e'ssay winner, but he's not saying that she is not a prize winner just the: same. Mary Dee leaves her place at the candy' stand to whomever is as good a drawing card as Mary next year, she also leaves everything else for she yet has with her a Graduating Happiness. Carrie Sparks leaves her quiet ways arid perfect classroom con- duct to Mary James. Can't you hear that quiet and smothered chuckle of Carrie and Mary, right now. I Gertrude Hahn leaves her ever-ready Vergil lessons to the future Vergil students. Sorry, Juniors, but you can't share this gift. Reuben and Lucile have consented to le ve an outlined route that is taken by them each day, to-why, who els could we leave it to than Delight and Bob? There is no danger butt what Bob will keep the trail warm. I Cleola Lord leaves her position as a typist to Arabelle Craft, also her musical ability to Margaret Glessner. Ndw, Margaret, do your duty. All you need is a fiddle, for you have seveifal beaus. Margaret keeps wonderful band time, because of her new Military beau. One of the old home town friends thought we said MilitaryfJoe! Yes! No! Military beau! I Audrey Lucas in making her will has greatly benefited the high school as a whole, for she has kindly left hfer fine school conduct and work to Francis Crissman and Howard Parkinson. We are quite sure that now their deportment average for exemption can easily be raised to a hundred! 4 , Evelyn Patterson has generously given to her beloved English teacher fifty pounds, in two installments, 'twenty-five pounds this year, with the interest from the other twenty-five pounds every third year. Love and kisses from little Evelyn. Ray Cronin leaves his success as a Child Welfare Workeri' to whomever in the Junior class is able to hold such a position. Mr. Cronin has also left a fund of seventy-five dollars which may be spent to pur- chase kiddy-cars or skooters for any below the eighth grade. And last, but far from least, the instructions for teaching the children the Pitts- burgh Clogg and the Pineapple Dipf Harley Knott leaves his sheikish- ways and the warm places for him in the hearts of the faculty to ? ? ? ? Rather a small will for one who was just made a grass widower a half year or so ago. Bill Duff leaves his brightness but yet just passing grades to friend Parkyf' Ruth Cronin leaves her sixth hour assembly chats with Milly Cheney to Betty Sellers and Milly Campbell if they can get away with them as Ruth and Milly have, without bothering their deportment grades. She also leaves her Hennas and loud hose to Jessie Sprague. Lucile Elzey with much sorrow bestows her indirect craze for pas- tries ufpon the girl who is sure she can appreciate this craze as Lucile has. Yea! Fifteen rahs for Br---ead! Edna Snell bequeaths her widely known music periods ffrom rising time in the A. M. to 8:25, then from 12:01 noon to 1:27l to Charlotte Hill. It is not known as yet what she will do with her bookkeeping course. Morris Hildebrand has left the next year's yell leaders his real yell- ing volume. He is also leaving Peggy and a few others, but not with the most joyful heart. S Garnet Maddox leaves her Uplucky way, which came in handy at the end of the second six weeks of this semester to Betty Sellers. It is said we will lose Garnet because she is going right to heaven, or she says it is better known as Kokomo. The Senior girls have a number of compacts which have the pow- der all used but not the rouge. Some advised leaving them to a few of our pale students, some one even suggested Margaret Glessner or Lewis Henley. . X Canis and Paul, whom we nearly always found in the hall, leave to John Tharp and Glen Powell their success with the 1925 Retro. Juniors, you should put out an unusual annual next year with all this help. Martha Moore bestows her friendly spirit and her friend, the Dummy, to next year's Insight staff. If you can pull in the ads as Martha has, you will be sitting 'prettyf' Farmer Reasoner leaves his -abilityas a basket maker to John Tharp-talk about people doing little things! Farmer is not willing his wonderful trained mustache to any one. Several boys were greatly 2 if if -2' 'tro if disappointed until they were consoled by some little Junior girl who said- I wouldn't care, boys, 'cause I'd be afraid it would wash off anyhow! Marie Nelson, the girl who not only surprised but even disap- pointed some in not leaving her curls to some of the girls, has left her art ability and most pleasing ways to Esther Hummer. We, the Senior Radiator Leaners, bestow upon the members of next year's Senior class, this famous gatherin place. Seniors, whether it is hot or cold this radiator is for you to ho d! Shh! Something to tell you--there are t o girls in the Senior class who are not leaving a thing! Their names a e Ivy and Doris, and this is the reason why: Ivy says she is taking oris with her and Doris says she is taking Ivy and what else is there gfor them to leave? Joe Burns deserves double praise for the Imany things he has asked to leave the Juniors. The one showing thelgreatest sacrifice was his desire to leave the five or six weeks during which he was sick with the ilu and mumps to some Junior needing an :extra six weeks' work to graduate next year. It certainly shows the night spirit to defprive him- self of making up that work. I Edna Dean leaves her ability as a debatler to Dick Julian, and the future winning of loving cups to William Bfittner. Juniors, you came nearly getting Edna's Commercial debate as part of next year's Com- mercial course. , Harriett Robson is leaving her giggle ini assembly periods to Kath- erine Younce, and her ability as a student to Mildred Hoad. Remember this is quite an honor because Harriett was not only a fine student, but also the most read girl in the Senior class. Phil Holton leaves his four years' success as a basketball player and his success with two steadies to his, friend Bill, Bill, you already have one steady scored, and one yet-to-be, but you have come along fairly well with -the few others. 9 Catherine Harden leaves her always l1?'?J serious face, and earn- estly studied lessons to Mary Dee.' , Delmar Sapp leaves his last minute rush idea for a certain Senior girl, his electrical ideas and radio dabblinglto Arthur Hollis. Martha and Dorothy combine and leave to you members of next year's Senior class their musical and literally art. Charlotte Williams leaves her sunny disposition and talent of dra- matic art to her sister, Alice. I Donald Lindsley leaves his idea of making one year an easy one to Vaughn McAtee. I Laveda Muterspaugh leaves her thanks to Lewis Henley for the number of good times they had while a thir person was on the sick list. Carl Hively's estate is quite a big p oposition, but just the same he has those winning ways and they aldne go to Floyd Hoffman. Crystal Linder leaves her gentle but mdst pleasant ways to our little musician, Thelma Wise. ' Mui 7lwRet1g0 i , u Katherine Bittner bestows her clever idea of alternating her out- of-town dates yet pulling over the idea of you're the only one to Martha Canada. A Albert Boston has willed his greatness- in size and energetic ways to George Ropon. Mildred Cheney leaves her always smiling face and happy-go-lucky waysto Fannie Campbell. ' Lucile Claytor had no say about her will because she is leaving her third period assembly deportment grades and great food devour- ing ability. Mae Baxter already 'has it. Mae wonders why. Because possession is nine points of law. G- Gwen Elliott leaves his speed along with his late dignified carriage which came from the Senior play, to John Andrews. Wilma Hendricks bestows upon Marguerite Clamme her studious and untiring efforts in school. The Big Maish boys, Art and Blinn, leave the soles which they have saved during their years of high school to the boys of next year's Senior class. Now don't get us wrong-not evangelists but autoists. Mary Peck leaves her commercial and business ability to Ernestine Clapper. LaVon Pettit has left her many good times with Big Bill to Eliz- abeth Yeider, Milly Campbell and Mary Modlin. t Gertrude Sample leaves her year of ease and rest to--well there are several to whom she could leave it, but we won't name them here for one might be you. ' Agnes Schweier bequeaths her most lovable and gentle ways along with her histrionic ability to Inez Mae Sowers. Josephine Fees wills all of her ability as a Physical Educator to Maxine Reed. A Clarence Nelson bestows his four year record as a bachelor upon George Westfall. Maurine Hobson bequeaths her talkativeness to Vera Harden and her success with a steady,' for three years, to Arabelle Craft. Best of luck, Arabelle! -EDWARD COX l I E 'X i Retro , V i o ' I m CL-is SMP op edu' --4 . ,,:,.- , 1 + s n HAD wandered around leisurely since leavinig Hartford, after ending 1ny school days in that dear old burg, and so with the remainder of my millions I decided to tour Europe andl the Orient, which had always been a lure to my being. W After I purchased my yacht and secured my? crew, from my old pals in Hartford, I started on my cruise with Morris' Hildebrand as my com- panion. Kathryn Bittner had accepted the position of hash slinger, Lucile Claytor of chief cook and bottle washerL Ralph Cheesman, that of pilotg and several other old pals were to hel around with odd jobs. It seemed years before we reached a por in Italy, after leaving New York City, and I was so glad to put my 'feet on solid soil again that I started to roam around the village. I gfound the Village to be Naples, and hadn't journeyed far before I ran Onto Marie Nelson, who was making the neat sum of about a million la year in painting and artistic designing. Clarence Nelson was there 'also as a photographer, following in his father's footsteps, as most intelligent boys do. Marie told me that Crystal Linder and Wilma Hendricks were posing as models and were taking the country by storm. t After remainingfin Italy afew days, I starlted my journey through the Orient. I was startled to hear that Carrie Sparks and Agnes Schweier were employed as dancers in one of the prominent temples. While in Calcutta I was grieved at the loss of my dear friend Morris, who turned me down to take up the work of crystal gazer as Morris the Mystic. While driving in the country I overtook Don Lindsley, who was industriously achieving his desires, engaged in the ostrich business. Before leaving Europe I took a run up tq Paris and found Doris Johnson and Ivy Wisecup head over heels in the business of creating the most elite Paris fashions. f l After a few nights aboard my yacht, the Stella R, on the home- ward journey a great storm got the best of the frail little craft and we were sacrificed to the sea. What became of the rest of my crew I could never tell, but I was rescued by William Duff and Joe Burns and placed safely on a steamer enroute to the United Staltes. Since then I have not seen Joe or William and never learned frolm where they hailed in my time of great stress and need, but I never will forget how they offered their lives to save.a good old pal froni death in the deep and dark blue sea. ,, ,. In San Francisco, I started off the boat and was looking for a bag- gage boy, for I did have quite a load of baggage with trinkets from the ' l V l l l w P 1 RSE-0 Orient for my old schoolmates. Presently two dirty, rough looking things-for that is what they looked like-came to me, one grasping my hand and saying, sure seems good to see some one you know, and after a hard moment of intense thought I judged fand found my judging rightl the persons to be Ed Cox and Ash Emshwiller, who were then running firms of their own, each as the president of his own iirm, and seemed to be prospering in their jobs as baggage boys. I talked with the boys for quite a while, and learned about the loca- tions and business of all my old school pals. I bade the boys good-bye and decided to take a journey through Hollywood as I had always heard what a wonderful place it was. Although I had street car fare, I did not wish to spend it, so I started to hoof it down the long, beautiful drive. Presently I was startled to hear some one giving directions to a cer- tain Mrs. Herbst and on further investigations found that Paul and Maurine had finally been united with the tie that binds, and were busy making pictures for the great Players-Patterson Company, owned by another old fpal of mine, Evelyn Patterson. Her help was home talent, too, in the persons of Harley Knott, who had just been ordered to scrub the floor for the new set, and Canis Brockway, who was calling at the top of his voice, giving orders to the numerous cast. I heard some would-be music and decided to look it up and to my surprise found some more old friends. They were Cleola Lord and Edna Snell, playing an accompaniment- for Dorothea Anderson and Mar- tha Kegerreis, who were rendering a duet in their usual pleasing manner. It began to get rather late so I wandered back to the station to see when I could get the next train back to Hartford City. I found one on the track that took a fnorthern route up through Yellowstone, so thought I might as well take it. I bought my ticket from Phil Holton, and boarded the train. It was dark by the time the train started, so I took my rest, and on awakening found the train had stopped at some point in Yellowstone and remembering that I had had nothing to eat since landing in America, I came to a prosfperous looking little Cafe and entered it. After I had been in there a while I was startled to hear a familiar voice ask for my order. On looking at the waitress I found her to be Mildred Cheney. A small orchestra was playing in the end of the Cafe and Mildred told me Gertrude Sample was making a won- derful drummer, and that my old friend, Jo Fees, was progressing rap- idly as head dish-washer in the Grand Canyon Hotel, where I was stop- ping. I hastened out to see her has she was to be relieved from duty, and found her to be the same capable and industrious girl she always was, leaving the majority of her work for the next girl to do. VVhen I left Yellowstone I decided to run down to Chicago for a visit and on the train whom should I meet but Lucile Elzey, who was on her way to Vassar, where she would enter for her seventh year. She told me she had been the national prize winner in a Chemistry Essay contest and was taking a four year course in Science .in seven years. V , 1 W 1 Zfw Retro When I landed in Chicago I found that Ziegfeld Follies was there and decided to spend my evening enjoying 1this performance. The greatest of my surprises was when Robert Henldricks and Audrey Lucas as his dancing partner were announced as America's Foremost Dancers. Of course I had to see them after tlie play. The next day I did some sh01DDing and on ,entering Marshall-Fields found that Mr. Kelsay had been true to Ruth Cronin, and succeeded ill securing her a position as clerk in this prosperous store. Of course I had to be kind and make a purchase from Ruth and, as I anticipated, she made a considerable mistake when she gave me my change-no doubt, though, she hadn't the slightest idea, of cheating me! I wished to purchase some glad rags 1and started to journey toward the store which always received my paltronage. I asked a taxi driver to take me to Sears-Roebuck-to my surprise he answered, Oh! you mean Dee-Dean? It wa.s originally the ol Sears-Roebuck but has recently changed hands. Well, I surely was aken back a few blocks by this, but nevertheless I gained consciousness in time to meet my two old friends. 1 I didn't stay in Chicago very long because' I was really anxious to return to my old home town and see the sight:s there, and then I also needed absolute rest and Hartford seemed the best place to secure it. I hopped a train, having heard this was sport and also economical. While hanging on for my life some one yelled at me from a box car about two cars down-1 Like to join in on a game of poker? -and of course as I was rather a Christian-like person Il just thought I'd go look on, when I entered the car whom should I seelbut Delmer Sapp, Blinn Maish, Ray Cronin and Gwen Elliott. Althoiigh I hardly recognized them because of their clothing and closely f?J slhaven faces, their voices were still the same sweet, old, familiar ones. 1They were on tl1e way to Hartford, too, where Delmer said that his wife, Mary Peck, was wait- ing for him to hurry home and pay off the serivants so they could pre- pare for their trip to Florida. We chatted for about four hours and presently the sky began to darken and seem so terribly smokey. Ray said we were entering the Smoky City Hartforldj' which had increased in population to 10,000,000. Right then I knew' I would never see abso- lute rest there, but decided before committing'suicide Ifd better learn where the rest of my old school pals were. t As soon as I entered Hartford, I immediately went to the bureau of information, and found out from Gertrudel Hahn, with Catherine Harden as assistant, that: I Arthur Maish, with his pleasing voice, had secured a place in the Metropolitan Opera Comfpany. 1 Martha Moore was living in Chicago with her original Chicago millionaire sweetheart. ' 4 LaVon Pettit was an orator of fame and n'ote. Lloyd Reasoner was still playing basketball at Matthews and driv- ing his Ford-also Esther. 1 .

E Charlotte Williams had reached the highest round in her ladder of fame and was filling her heartis desire by serving as Dean of Girls at Taylor University, and by lecturing in some of the more prosperous cities, such as Mollie, Roll, Matthews and Trenton. It's terribly discouraging for one lone soul when all his pals are busily engaged in things that make them happy, so why Wouldn't Lick Creek be a good resting place for me ?-Well, that's -Where IT went- Gulp!

We assembled at the boat house which was the Hartford City High School. To guide our bark the first lap, which was our Freshman year, we elected Arthur Hollis president, Fredrick Brickley, vice-president, Delight Palmer, secretary and treasurer. The second lap we chose Robert Fulton, president, Fredrick Brickley, Vice-president, Joseph Bonham, secretary and treasurer. The projections seen at the begin- ning were found to be the many parties and hayrides held during the first two years. To make the first two laps more successful, our basket- ball team won the Inter-class Tourney. The third lap we elected the following officers: John Tharp, pres- identg Robert Fulton, vice-president, Martha Canada, secretary and treasurer. r This lap became more difficult but we started off with a most enjoyable hayride to the home of Frank Forkner. Next came the business of selecting class rings. In February came the class play, Mr. Bob, which was voted a great success by all. At the end of the lap the Insight Staff was elected and the year's activities closed with - the J unior-Senior reception. Having safely finished the three laps we are now ready for the last one and hope it will be as successful as the others. -DELIGHT PALMER '26 I I I I I I I I I I C? , I I I , I .x y 'T X' 5 I I I Q wb rf- I I I I I I 7lwRetr0 1 U2 CD 4 +-I U H rr. o 2 0 E D-4 O U1 Refro 4 Sophomore Class President A - Vice-President Secretary - Treasurer - Anguish, Florence Babbitt, Clifford Barley, Mack Barrett, Florence Borton, Mildred Baxter, Mae Brock, Helen Brockway, Elma Brose, Martha Bugh, Irene Campbell, Frances Casterline, Beatrice Collins, Jenella Cook, Russell Coic, Albert Cronin, John Crumrine, Clarence Cline, Esther Day, Naomi DeWitt, Trene Douglas, Lois Dowling, Agnes Egly, Lucille Elliott, Oliver Ellis, Clifford Elzey, Ruth Funfrock, Virginia Gable, Richard Granger, Alvis Gaunt, Lurline Grant, Thelma Haddon, Lucile Hall, Martha Hawkins, Dorothy Hawkins, Mabel .iii-Lliil OFFICERS - Howard Parkinson I- f f ROLL Hiday, Erma Hill, Martha Hizer, George Hoad, Rollin Hollis, Helen Hollowell, Fern Huggins, Rodney Hummer, Esther Hutchinson, Mahala Jennart, Albert Johnson, William Jones, George Julian, Kenneth King, Esther Klugh, Katherine LeGross, George Lewis, Robert Linder, Daniel Listenfeltz, Howard Long, Margaret Lord, Delbert McAdams, Bernard McCollum, Helen McElroy, Florence Markins, Harold May, Clifford Milligan, Virginia Minneman, Ovid Modlin, Mary Moore, Chester Moore, Ralph Nelson, Hazel Nessell, Albert Noble, Margaret Oren, Violet Harold Markins rances Campbell Bonetha Pettit Painter, Helen Parkinson, Howard Perrell, Lillian Pettit, Bonetha Polleys, Robert Poul son, Thelma Pursley, Mary Pursley, William Reasoner, Garrett Rutledge, Maxine Schweier, Francis Scott, Blanche Scott, Leona Short, Virginia Smith, Kenneth Spangler, Freda Sparks, Ralph Streib, Lydia Stump, Joe Terrell, Thomas Thornburg, Vaughn Tindall, Charles Townsend, Francis Trehearne, Virginia Wentz, Clara Williams, Alice Williams, Ruth Wilson, Mary Catherine Wilson, Robert Wise, Thelma Wright, Helen Wright, Carleton Wright, Clayton Wright, Paul Zimmerman, Herman F L ., kf:m......., .l-...r., i7IwRetro Sophomore Class Historu HE class of '27 started out on the field of Hartford High School to make her four innings, September, 1923. First bat to start the ball rolling, a class meeting was held and Olof Hedstrom was elected president, Fannie Campbell, vice-presidentg Esther Hume mer, secretary, Helen Hollis, treasurer, and Ben DeWees, class advisor. We can all look back and remember that the little green freshies received their share of hazing from the ufpper classmen, and fancy shapes, well, yes, all kinds of diamonds. A lovely class party was thrown in the gynasium. The entertain- ment was given by the Huzzar Band and a few stunts were also staged by Bob Polleys. All who caught this party will agree that we had a fine time. A very enjoyable bobsled party was also held. This closed the year, and brought us safe to our first base. Now we, as Sophomores, take our stand on the second base. We had time out long enough to elect the following officers: Howard Parkinson, presidentg Harold Markins, vice-president, Bone-tha Pettit, secretary and treasurer, Wilbur Haley, class advisor. First thing we pitched a hard times party which went over big. The next ball thrown was in the hall of the high school, which was enjoyed immensely by all those who hit it. The ball was carried out in green and white, the class colors, and also suitable for St. Patrick's day. If we keep our motto, No victory won without labor, we will win the next two innings in our high school career as success- fully as the last. --THELMA WISE '27. 1 1 1 1 'f .: ZA .. T: Xi..-, ..

On April 24, 1925, the Senior Class presented the annual play before a large audience in the high school auditorium. The name of the play was Three Wise Fools and was a scream from start to finish. It kept the audience in gales of laugh- ter and it was diflicult for the actors to proceed with the play, having to repeat their lines, in some instances, two or three times to make themselves heard. Phil Holton iMr. Theodore Flndley, a wealthy iinancierj carried his part splen- didly and kept the house in laughter from the start with his sarcastic and queer ways. Phil deserves much credit for helping to make the play a big success. Edward Cox fDoctor Gaunt, an eminent physicianl also contributed much toward making the play a success. He got into very serious trouble by trying to reform the household and pull them from the ruts into which they had slipped. Ashley Emshwiller fHon. James Trumbull, a famous criminal judgel had a good nature and was satisiied with life, without trying to reform himself. His dignified actions were very impressive. Agnes Schweier iMiss Sidney Fairchild, the daughter of a former sweetheart of the Three Wise Foolsl carried her part very well and her sweet and lovable nature made the Three Fools love her dearly. She wrought a wonderful change in the house- hold without the Three Fools noticing it. Harley Knott QGordon Schuylerj ideally portrayed the part of lover, and much to the chagrin of his uncle, showed his aversion to work. Martha Kegerreis qMrs. Saundersj played the part of the maid skillfully by show- ing her indifference to their mode of living. Gwen Elliott and William Duff fGray and Douglas, respectivelyl were very good butlers and acted their parts well. Canis Brockway and Paul Herbst IJ. Poole and Clancy, respectivelyj played the parts of detectives in typical manner, and succeeded in bringing the criminal to justice. P Reuben Willman CJohn Crawshayl brought the play to a happy termination by confessing to being Sidney's father and being cleared of the forgery charge, by Benny the Duck. Lloyd Reasoner fPolicemanJ with his red tie made a typical policeman. Raymond Cronin fBenny the Ducky made a very good criminal and brought much action into the drama with his gun-play and determination to kill Judge Trumbull.

I I On February 4, the Juniors presented the class play, Mr. Bob, before a large crowd which filled the high schoolI auditorium to capacity. The play was presented in a very pleasing and entertaining manner, and the cast received many compliments for their dramatic talent. Robert Brown, a law clerk, performed his art in a very dramatic manner and kept the audience in continual smi es. Miss Rebecca Luke, an aunt, with her craz:e for cats, caused much disturbance in the family. ' Miss Katherine Rodgers, a niece, solved the yacht problem and car- ried her part well. I Miss Marion Bryant, a friend of Miss Rodgers, presented her part in a very pleasing manner. I Philip Royson, a nephew, proved to be a mysterious character, and played his part with skill. I The butler, Jenkins, and the maid, Patty, proved to be the life of the play and the humor they brought into the Iplay was greatly appre- ciated. I Much of the success of the play was due to the untiring skill of Miss Kathryn Jones, who ably coached it.

The chosen one must be an orphan and Meerah believes herself to be one. During the day, which is the festal day of Ahu, the flower god, a beggar, escapes from a passing procession of elephants bearing people from these countries. This beggar proves to be Meerah's mother. As there is now no other orphan in the village except the village scold How-Now, she is carried off to become a sllave in the temple and the reunited mother and daughter join the maidens in celebrating the festal day of Ahu. 4 The picture of the operetta was taken without costumes because the operetta was presented too late to have the spicture appear in the Retro unless it was taken this way. 1 There were eighteen persons in the chorus. 1 The rest of the cast follows: ' 1 Meerah ----------- ' - Josephine Fees Simila - - ' - Mildred Cheney How-Now - - ' - Maurine Hobson Veerah - - - ------ ' - - Edna Dean Marmee ---------- 4 Dorotha Anderson Three Old Women - - Alice Williams, Ruth Elzey, Thelma Wise Solo Dancer --------- '- Fannie Campbell Marie Krohn, Director, Mary Margaret Lytle' Director of Dancesg Marguerite Peiper, Art Director 3 Ruth Cronin, Pilanist.

EEE-AY! Right over here! Red hot hamburgers! Pickle and onion? Home-ade fudge-onleeee a nickle- 1171 MISS Kruke declares she will be a raving maniac before the fair is over. She insists upon cooking the hamburgers done-but let Ashley cook you one if you like 'em rare. 1181 BROTHER Ed Cox invented the new California Top lemon pie at the booth today. Ed is our chief cook 1but we can't say bottle washer 'cause Ed doesn't like the idea of washing the dishes1. 1191 EVERYONE is happy-the first issue of the Insight was published today. We aren't saying it's the best ever-but, well, we aren't telling what we think, either. 1241 -1251 The Junior class reorganized today. They elected John Tharp president. REAL team, we'1l say! Our first football game of the season with Newcastle. Score-7-6 in favor of Old Gold and Black. 1271 QCTOBER brings another month of school--joy. 111 -121 Have you noticed that our new coach is becoming quite popular with the students already?--especially the girrrrruls! P. S. Not only students but fac- ulty too. CAN you beat it! Another victory for our gridiron squad at Anderson. A good bunch of rooters, too. A few more such sensational touchdowns and Reasoner will carry away the laurel wreath. 131 THOSE little tests have begun to creep into the minds of the faculty already! You may call them tests., but I call them pests! 141 -141 Ray went to sleep in History this morning. Mr. Haley suggests less dates, but Ray insists that he d0esn't have many so the question was left unsettled- anyway, Ray woke up. OH yes! Mr. Kelsay demands that we take our respective seats in the assembly when we have a speaker. BOOSTER Club meeting. The Boosters are a great aid to Hartford High in promoting Z the spirit of enthusiasm. 191 -1101 Mr, Pressler begins his endless job of sending people from the assem- bly during the 6th period. The unfortunate victim is none other than Carrie Sparks. Carrie needs a Silencer. EVERYONE is down-hearted and sad. Our first defeat of the season! 1111 -1141Another general assembly with a good program. REPORT cards out today. 1151 V --116-171 Teachers' Institute provides a vacation. Some more days of real sport. Bill said he didn't know the teachers could bring such joy. -1181 Students! our second defeat before the hands of Kokomo. More pep yet! -1231 The Juniors decided upon their class rings and pins today. As happy as one hundred twenty-tlve bugs in a rug. And some more happy bugs are the Seniors as they plan the Retro work.

Of course, he said, there is time-out between these hours. ON to victory! Our last football game with Bluffton igh was a decided victory- 50-0. Yea! Hartford! 181 ' VELL, vell, the little Freshies had a hayride 1their first1 to the home of Edna Stew- art. We wonder if they got in on time? ? ? 1 -1101 Mr. Homer Morris gave an interesting talk,before the assembly on his travels in Russia. 1 EATS, eats, eats! The Senior dinner proved a big success. Our advisors think some of the Seniors should hunt out the old etiquette book. Most of us believe in the Grand Rush to the table instead of a Grand March. 1111 MONTPELIER, our first net I'victim, was defeated tonight by a score of 32-11. 'Pelier and H. C. are old time rivals and they are looking forward to the next game with much enthusiasm. Get out your pep, Hartford! 1141 BECAUSE we have the T-E A-M and the P-E-P we defeaqted Pennville 33-18. 1211 EXASPERATED! Well, I should say!

But they say that with all joy comes a share of sorrow. Here is ours. I FJDWARD thinks it's fun to tease the girls in the assembly-sometiines-but not ' when Mr. DeWees is so near.

That's what some of 'our students thought when Santa appeared before the assembly in person and distnibuted gifts to some of our little girls and boys. There were several blushes on some of the faces as they received their gifts-especially Mary Peck. Mary looked like a. blushing bride in June as she stood before the Saint. 1221 I I UVERY day, in every way, school is getting better and better-vacation starts today. 1231 I RESUMED school today. 1291 I I I I I I I I I It l 2 ' A , .ss..,4,..g..:., JANUARY brings us another victory to start the year.

The Commercial Club held a carry-in dinner. After that a hard times party. From all indications, the slums of New York City turned out for the hard times party. 1143 UNDER the hopeful hearts and the watchful eyes of the Bluffton H. S. rooters, we defeated them tonight. 1163 -Mr. Kelsay makes a motion that we carry out some New Year's resolutions that he made-more study is the first one and more work is the second. AFTER seven consecutive victories, we were defeated at Newcastle 43-21. 1173 -The boys are planning a Hi-Y club under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. 1193 -Practice for Mr, Bob is proceeding nicely. ROARING meeting of the Booster Club. Mr. White is bidden farewell and Mr. Moss, who succeeds him is welcomed into the organization as sponsor. 1223 -1223 The Pepinella Club also enjoys an enthusiastic meeting in the form of a dinner at the high school building. YES, we have a good team. Defeated Ft.

If their feet were cold they did not reveal it to anyone. BELIEVE it or not, there are many of our'H. C. H. S. students missing because of the mumps. Too bad! 1143 . RIGHTO! We came out with another victory over Bluffton 37-23. 1203 -But Fairmount gave themselves a big surprise and defeated us 32-31. 1213 UM! Some good music when the Central College Glee Club entertained us. We A noticed that that was not all that pleased some of our students for all the girls had front seats. 1A men's glee club, you know3. -Union City, our last game, was a decided victory, 46-30. 1273 A CROSS-WORD puzzle party was enjoyed at the Commercial Club meeting tonight. Bill Bittner seemed to have found one of the puzzles worked out, for he won the prize. It is said that Bill is pretty lucky anyway, so we guess he must have found the lucky page that time. 1313 RETRO pictures are coming fine. You'd be surprised to see so many smiling faces watching for the Birdie. YES, and we want you to know that exams are over and forgotten about-until next time. l i l l l 1 1 4 l l 1 I I ' I I MOST of us are looking forward to the tourney at Peli r.

AFTER the defeat at 'Pelier, we don't feel quite so go d, but now we have plenty of time to dope on the State meet. 191 I RAH! RAH! The inter-class tourney has begun. The iSeniors defeated the Juniors in a good game, score-32-20. The under-classmen h ve taken the tourney for the last three years-and we think it's time someone else is getting some honors. 1101 -And the Cornfeds defeated the Sophs, too, 23-21. 1 COMES at last!

The Seniors had some classy little outfits that sur- prised the crowd, too, in their colors-red and blaclc, PRETTY good, we think-when the Senior girls coppeId the tourney. Now all the class honors in basketball lie in the Senior class. .But don't worry, under-class- men, these stars of the floor w0n't be back again next year to haunt you. 121 REALLY, you didn't know Mr. Kelsay blushed, did you? I Well, when he was the little boy that peered 'round the nursery door!-he did then, 'member? 1151 I'M A FOOL, am I? Am I?

Outside of forgivable errors, they did well, and will doubtless have a good paper next year. 1291 I I I I I I MAY brings the annual Junior-Senior reception to which we all look forward. A most enjoyable time was had by the two classes which attended the affair. 171 --1131 Class Day was observed in the assemblyI with the graduating class in charge. I AFTER graduation! The Seniors now have their diplomas and feel very much older. It is rather sad to be leaving Hartford High and some of the Seniors look as if they would be gray-headed before long. 1171 I YES, there are only three classes in High School now,I since the Seniors have their grand last vacation. Most of the under-classmen think they should receive the vacation, because they have to come back next year-but you will be Seniors some day, and enjoy all their privileges. 1201 I I -CLEOLA LORD '25 I I I I I I I .t .

BLAIR GULLION OACH GULLION, the main reason for the success of the athletic teams of Hartford High this year, comes from Newcastle, where he played varsity basketball for three years. After graduating from high school, he continued his course at Purdue University. Here he was a member of the varsity basketball team for three years, being selected as All State College Center three years, and All Conference Center one year 5 he also led the Big Ten Conference in scoring honors for one year. He played baseball and was a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity. On arriving in Hartford City, fresh from college, and on his first venture of coaching, he undertook the difficult task of building up an entirely new system of coaching in both football and basketball. He succeeded in developing the most successful athletic teams Hartford City High School has had in years. By his ready smile, good humor, and easy manners, Gullion made friends with everyone and was admired by all the members of his teams. He is expected to return to Hartford High next year and we wish him another successful season.

The members of our second team were very faithful in being present at each practice and did their best against the superior players. Q The second team this year has also played several scheduled games, Winning most of them and making a very good record. A large number of students turned out for basketball practice in the early part of the year and interest in the sport was at high pitch during the entire season. The members of the second team were: Zenz, Huffman, Crissman, R. Kastetter, Tharp, Granger and Jennart. The team gained much valuable experience during the season and some excellent material was developed for future teams. . Some of the teams which the seconds played were: Fairmount, twice, Muncie, twice 3 Ft. Wayne Central, Bluffton, twice, Montpelier, twice, Upland Varsity and Senior class team. It is planned to have a second team schedule each year to stimulate the interest in the pre- dominating sport. I I I I Lai 5' - 1' M?

I I Rc-:view of Athletics BASKETBALL The Hartford City High School basketball team has enjoyed a very successful season during the years 1924 and 1925. The team won thir- teen of the games played and the score of the locals was much larger than that of their oqpponents. The regular line-up of the season was: Elliott and Powell, for- ward, Medler, forward, Oliver, center, Holton, guard, Cronin, guard, Fulton, J. Powell, Daily and Duff, utility. Elliott held the right forward position in the early part of the season, but G. Powell forged ahead and captured the position for the latter part of the season. Both made good at the position and were valuable men to the team. The first eight of the above line-up received the block letter H for playing the required twenty halves. A, , The enthusiasm for basketball was very high during the season and the team enjoyed excellent support. Led by the yell leaders, Cox, O. Elliott and Julian, the fans yelled their' best and did much toward bringing the locals to victory. Coach Gullion gave much time and interest to building up a good team. He started in immediately following the football season and although he was unacquainted with many of the players he soon rounded out a good team, which made a fine record to be placed in the history of the local high school. The ,prospects for the team next year are very good and many more students are expected to show up for the sport. Three players, Holton, Elliott and Duff, graduate this year. FOOTBALL IS GAINING POPULARITY The first practice night brought out enough boys for over two teams and interest in this sport was keen. The local high school won its first game of the season and from then on the interest was more alert than ever. The team won three of the seven games, but was handicapped dur- ing the middle of the season because of injuries to several of the yplayers. However, when the last game was played the boys were on tip toes with :pep and romped over Bluffton by a score of 50 to 0. The team enjoyed a very successful season and prospects are good for next year. Interest is increasing each year in this new sport, which has just finished the second yearafter a dormant period. The regular line-up for the season was: Wright, Medler and Culberson, ends, Herbst and Oliver, tackles, Duff, B. Maish and A. Maish, guards, Cronin, center, Holton, quarter-back, R. Kastetter and Bittner, half-backs, and Reasoner, .full-back. BASEBALL, AN ADDED SPORT For the first time in many years the local high school has taken up the sport of baseball. Many students turned out for the new sport and three games were played. Two games were scheduled with Mont- pelier and one with Upland. It is hoped that this game will be more popular next year.

M. Lytle, organized the Girls' Basketball League. I Eight teams comprised the league, and much enthusiasm was aroused among the participants. ' , g Each team was organized with a captain, colors, and a team name. After many hard fought games, team II Iwas declared the champion team of the league. This team was called Lightning, with their colors black and white. The members of the team were: Joseqphine Fees tilwptainy and Cleola Lord, forwardg Mildred Cheney and Esther King, center, Clara Baugher and Lucile Haddon,,guard. With the introduction of the league, the: girls took more interest in the high school basketball games, and it is' expected that each year a league will be formed among the girls.

This was the most interesting and enthusiastic game of the tourney. In the first game the Seniors eliminated the Juniors, winning by a score of 30 to 22. In a hotly contested tilt the Cornfeds barely won over the Sopho- mores, the score ending 23 to 21. This ,game was very interesting and much class spirit was shown. In the third game the Freshman team walked over the Seventh and Eighth Graders by a score of 20 to 8. The Seniors, in the semi-final period, stofpped the Cornfeds in a fast game by a score of 29 to 11. S Hildebrand saved the day for the Seniors in the final fracas when he scored a short field goal in the last two minutes of the overtime period. The members of the winning team are: Duff, Knott, Herbst, L. Reasoner, Leonard, Culberson, Willman and Hildebrand. Coach, Gwen Elliott. . An all star team named was as follows: Tharp, Junior, Babbitt, Sophomore, Burns, Freshman, forwards. L. Reasoner,, Senior, A. Reasoner, Freshman, centers.
