We consider our President, Harold Markin, unexcelled in a willing- ness and a desire to do anything and everything for the promotion and advancement of the class activities. Alvis Granger, our Vice President, always stood ready to advise, encourage or help the President and other officers. Our efficient Secretary, Bonetha Pettit-Free, is gone but not for- gotten. Never was an idea presented for the consideration of the class that Bonetha did not lend a helping hand and a few well- founded suggestions. A more capable, good natured and efficient Treasurer could not have been selected by the class than Dan Linder. The Treasurer of a class or organization does not have an easy time of it and the utmost skill and tact must be exercised in keeping the financial matters straight Dan has done all that a class or an individual might wish or expect. So here's to the officers of the class of '27 who have should- ered their burdens so cheerfully and efliciently. Some people are born to lead-others to follow. They, we are convinced-were born to lead. The big consideration for a class is the choosing of a capable Class Adviser. Mr. Haley is all that one might command from any one individual. He has worked unceasingly and tirelessly that the Senior Class of '27 might be the best ever. And his reward is the Hue spirit of loyalty and devotion to the ideals of i a class which he has instilled Within the minds of the members. is l is V 'Qi tbl' sr W 1' Al: GEORGE LEGROSS- FROGGIE Latin Club, Science Club, Commercial Club, Booster Club, H.

HE CLASS of 1927 started its four year journey with the follow- ing ofiicer in charge: Olof Hedstrom, Presidentg Fannie Camp- bell, Vice Presidentg Esther Hummer, Secretary and Treasurer. Our activities the first year were confined to class parties and a hayride. In our Sophomore year we had a class party and several other social events. Our third year we presented the three act comedy Nothing But the Truth. Besides this we held markets uptown to aid in iinancing the J unior-Senior banquet. These were very successful and we like to feel that we gave one of the best receptions in the history of the school. Mr. Haley was the class adviser and was very efiicient in that capacity. The Senior year was of course the big year for the class. The Insight and Retro Staffs had been elected and had settled down to work. The biggest event of the year was the production of the three act comedy, Kempy, which was given before a full house April 22 and again by request on May 5. On the first day of April we celebrated Hick and Ham day and just turn to the snap shot section to get a faint idea of the good time we had even if it did rain torrents all day. Yes, we took them in the rain. After high-hattingf' the lower classmen for about seven months we decided it was about time to shuffle off this scholastic coil, and so we started thinking about graduation credits. We were given a fine banquet and dance by the class of '28. About 70 Seniors were graduated with the class and so endeth another chapter in the history of Hartford City's High School. DELBERT LORD, '27. Memoirs ELL, WE CERTAINLY had a big time last week when we had that reunion of the Senior Class of 1927. We had been trying to have one for forty-five years, but not until this year were we able to do so. Alas! some of those old familiar faces were gone forever. .... But to get back to that big day, a call had been sent out by our former class president, Harold Markin, for an all day picnic and general get-together meeting to be held at the Legros Park fGeorge having made so much money on his farm that he donated one to Hart- ford Cityl. The members started assembling very early in the morn- ing-some having traveled many weary miles just for the occasion. Some came in huge limousines, and others in wheel chairs, and still others arrived in aeroplanes. After a sumptuous meal of sandwiches and ice cream we all sat around and discussed old times. Bob Lewis, who is very distinguished looking now, looked over at Mae Baxter fMrs. Daniel Linderj and chirped, 'Member the time when Miss Hahn asked Mae what an anecdote was, and she spoke up with a brilliant smile and said, 'I think it's a little girl billy goat?' 'i They were then started, each tried to think up the Worst he could. fI'm not saying how far from the truth we wanderedj. Carleton Wright, now a very reputed? ? ? ? old bachelor, lost his dignity long enough to tell 'em about the time he fell out of the win- dow over at the North Ward, unfortunately, the window was closed, so Carleton just took it along as he fell, but left his shirt in doing so. Then Mr. A. Jennart, a very renowned personage, but now slightly failing, giggled a, little and grunted, Those good old days when Harold Mar- kin, Pete Reynolds, Dean Shaw and I used to have Harold swipe cig- arettes from the Hess grocery, and then go out behind the South Side school house and smoke! My! Oh! My! did we get sick? Yes, and if you hadn't done such things you probably wouldn't be in this wheel chair today, Albert. We looked up at his wife and who should we see but the regal form of Marguerite Long. Charles Bolner, who had increased considerably in avoirdupois since I had last met him, waddled up and cried excitedly, I sure re- member the first time I was prompted by a paddle! The paddle was owned and operated by Miss Haddon at the Wm. Reed Schoolg Cmany chuckles were audible as they recalled this instancej it was before the entire class that the operation was performed. Although I can't re- member what for, I remember the instance and the two similar ones that same week-Them were the days! Then was heard a faint, squeaking voice, and who should it be but Thelma Perry. She told about the time she dressed up like a Red Cross nurse during the World War-isome recalled having heard of such a warj solicited funds and was severely reprimanded by her mother. After re-living this incident she had to sit down and rest as she was so weak from so much excitement. And next who should pipe up but Miss Ruth Elzey, who had come from foreign parts where she was doing missionary work. Don't you remember the H. A. R. E. M. Club we had when we were in the 7th grade? Remember the newspaper article contributed by Helen Hollis- with the aid of the rest of us-which told about the banquet we had at J ennella Collins's? And the name not being enough we added the names of the shebas-Helen Hollis, Mae Baxter, Fannie and Millie Camp- bell, Thelma Grant, Jennella Collins, Martha Hill, Virginia Short, Esther Cline, Betty and Gertrude Sellers, Ruth Elzey, Charlotte Rapp and Esther Hummer. And when our mothers saw their young cherubs painted with such dramatic coloring in the paper-it certainly didn't go over big. fWe had a meeting the next evening and changed the namejf' Next we heard from Mr. Daniel Linder, who is now a bewhiskered, tottering old man with failing eyesight. He told a very heart-rending story and here it is: I can remember back in them days when Clayton Wright and I wentton a week's vacation at Lake George. We gave a feller six dol- lars to take us up and after we got there We hardly had enough to eat for the week. The menu for the third day was as follows: Breakfast ------- 1 Baby Ruth Dinner - - - - Raspberries fThe kind that growl Supper -------- Green apples Between our meals we swam and slept. Just as he was waxing eloquent we heard Mae order him to hold the sixteenth grandchild while she rounded up the seventeenth, so that sorta took all the pep out of him. Then Leona Scott came tripping in looking just as young as ever fsome one said she sold a certain kind of beauty clayl and she told us about the time she went wading in the muddy water with her lovely new white dress on: it still brings tears to her eyes fMurineJ to think of it for I guess the maternal side of the Scott domicile was waiting at the gate for her young daughter when she returned. F There were a couple of squeaky voices heard talking and we looked around and there was Martha Hill-Markin and Virginia Short-? '? ? recalling an old club of which they had been members. iThey hadn't met for years as Martha lived out on the South Side and Virginia over in 'Peliery Martha cackled and said: G-ee, this meeting has nothing on our 'Owl Tower Club' up in Dillman's barn! I'll say not, giggled Virginia fjust as dizzy as every: remem- ber our wonderful furniture n' everything and the time Fannie didn't see the opening in the floor and fell down the steps? Virginia, hollering and laughing, said in a rasping voice- And that terrible medicine cup Thelma Grant brought to initiate new members--we sure were bears for punishment. Martha, after reprimanding Harold Sophomore, and Martha Jun- ior, replied: Yep, Agatha, we sure had some dandy shows, though. I'll never forget the awful lace curtains we found to dress up in. rw N fr' gh 'N ,ig t i. 1 ,.. ., Speck Elliott, who was there with all the little Specks, told of a sad, sad story-while trying to mend his crutch which he had broken when Blackbottoming earlier in the day: I remember in my seventh year that all we fellows had rubber bands which we used illicitly during the day-shooting paper wads. We were engaged in. doing this one day in the assembly while the teacher was out. When she came back one of my girl friends fone of the manyj told on me. And I had to pick everyone of those things up off the floor. By this time he was weeping, and having finished mending his crutch he hobbled off to find little Alvis Granger, Jr., to learn the next step of the dance. Helen Hollis-Parker, who could hardly control herself-she was so eager to talk-jumped at this opportunity to tell this heart-rending story: When I was a little mite about two years old, living out in Arizona, I was left in the care of a Mexican girl while my mother went shopping. When she came back she couldn't find little me so she started out to hunt. After several hours she found me in the arms of a big Indian Chief and all the others were standing around offering me the peace pipe. To her horror they were passing me from one to the other and each was having a big time. The girl was standing near, talking to her future husband. QP. S.-That's what makes Helen such an habitual smokerj. There was a lull until Margarette Noble-Lewis spoke up and told about the time she played tag for an hour with her teacher at the Wm. Reed School 3 the teacher had a vicious ruler grasped firmly in one hand, but she finally gave up the chase from exhaustion. In hobbled Esther Cline fshe walked with a canej. In her deep, mellow voice she started: Member the show we put on down at Sellers' one night? All the little girls wore crepe paper dresses and .Esther Hummer lost hers right on the stage. Little Fannie gave a dance and we all joined in on the chorus. We had 'movin' pitchers' but for some unknown reason, in order to thoroughly enjoy them you had to stand on your head. The price was one cent and we each made 11 cents. Thelma Grant bought a ten cent box of rouge and a sucker and I was going to save mine and buy a pony, but Tom Mix was on at the Royal and I couldn't resist. Mae Baxter-Linder, in a high, squeaky voice gave an account of the party held on her 6th birthday, confessing that she left her little guests and hid herself in the clothes basket on the back porch, weeping because her beau was angry with her. And just then, lo and behold, up spoke a man who was as hand- some as an Apollo and who-do you suppose it was? Willie Pursley, who had been on the stage these many years and who had taken. John Barry- more's place, much to the latter's distress. He told about the time a certain Senior girl lost her petticoat right in class. CA dictionary was hastily produced to find out what that prehistoric article wasl. Then last, but not least, Francie Schweier reminded the men of the old Booster banquets and with that they all broke into tears, and it was decided that it would be best to adjourn. So after many fond embraces we all departed, deciding that we would have another meeting next year. But will we? Ah, that is for fate to decide. We hope so. VIRGINIA SHORT, '27.

UNDER CLASSBI EN Junior Class Hisioru HE FIRST MEETING of the class of '28 was held in November of '24. Class oflicers were elected. Art Reasoner was elected Presidentg Fred Burns, Vice Presidentg Helen Ruble, Treas- urer. The first social event was a hay-ride. A hard times party and other good times followed. When the class of '28 met again in '25 Fran.k1in DeWald was elected Presidentg Ray Kastetter, Vice Presidentg Helen Ruble, Secretary, and Freda Foster, Treasurer fyes, they risked it, since the fund wasn't very largel. In, the fall there was a hay-ride to Edna Stewart's. Later a party of the hard times variety was held ffor information see Teddy Hoffmani. ' The Junior Class of '27 found a most intelligent and productive group of students. At the first meeting, memberswere introduced to each other and the following oflicers were chosen: Junior Powell, Presidentg Bus DeWald, Vice Presidentg Charlotte Rapp, Secretaryg and Charlotte Lee Hill, Treasurer. The flrst party was a I-Iallowe'en party. f'Member when Gertie Sellers fell and a'most broke fthe fioori her ankle? When our class rings came, everyone was pleased with them, with the exception of those who got wron.g sizes and initials. Then we had our picture taken. Most of us had ours taken four times, without count- ing Pete Foster, who had hers taken five times. Then our class play, Polly With a Past, was presented. It was a big success and a neat sum was realized. However, in the big event of the season, Helen Ruble had the lead in Here Comes the Bride! ! ! --followed by Pete Reynolds. It was a big surprise Cthough we all expected itll Percy Abbott, an Australian Magician, was sponsored by the Jun- iors-and anyone wishing to know the Secrets of Magic should see Vaughn Thornburg or George LeGross, who assisted. When the Juniors won the girls' inter-class basketball tournament the town was too small for us, we were so proud. We were ready to challenge the U. S., Green- lan.d, Hungary or Muncie, I guess. But perhaps the greatest honor that came to the class was when Betty DeWees won second prize in the state Latin contest this spring. We surely were proud of her. Last, but not least, came the Junior-Senior banquet and dance, which we fondly hope was one of the most successful ever given here. In closing, we hope the Juniors of next year have as much fun Qwith exceptions of Ha1ey's Civics Testsi and success as we had. ' MILLIE CAMPBELL. 25? if V W Me?

The play was a decided success and a large part of it was due to the efficient coaching of Miss Kathryn Jones, Junior High School English Instruc- tor. Miss Jones has been the coach of various Junior and Senior class plays during the time she has been a member of the faculty and it was partly because of her ability in that capacity that they have been so highly successful. The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs presented a musical comedy, Pickles, February 2, under the supervision of Miss Helen Sheldon, Supervisor of Music, and Miss Mary Margarette Lytell, Physical Educa- tion Instructor, who had charge of the dances. It proved to be an eve- ning of amusing entertainment and the Misses Sheldon and Lytell have been highly commended for the excellence of the operetta. The Senior Class play, Kempy, which was given in the High School Auditorium on Friday, April 22nd, was under the capable super- vision of Messrs. Haley and Turley, History Instructors. So great was the -success of the play that it was requested that it be given again. It was repeated on Thursday evening, May 5th, and met again. with great success. - k 7' 7 . - 731' l 'f.'i 'lPXQIjQf?v0 !!Ng4:'! lm Senior Class Plaq. Kornpq N FRIDAY, April 22, the Senior Class presented Kempy, a de- lightful three act comedy, before a very large audience in the High School Auditorium. - The play was so highly lauded and so great a success that it was decided to present it again. On Thursday, May 5, it was repeated with all its former success. This time ten per cent of the proceeds were given to the Red Cross Society for the Mississippi Valley Flood Re- lief Fund. Much of the success of the play was due to the competent way in. which the Messrs. Haley and Turley managed the rehearsals, and in the surprisingly short time necessary for them to have the play ready for production. - Too much cannot be said in the way of praise for the ease and understanding with which the characters interpreted their various parts. The cast included: Howard Lee Parkinson - - Kempy James Helen Hollis - - - - Ruth Bence Robert Polleys - - - Duke Merrill Virginia Trehearne - - Kate Bence Vaughn Thornburg - Dad Bence Alice Williams - - Ma Bence Delbert Lord - - Ben Wade Virginia Short ------ Jane Wade S The play concerned the haughty ambitions of Kate Bence, daugh- ter of Dad and Ma Bence, who had but recently come into the owner- ship of a comfortable sum of money. Her superiority complex resulted in many amusing incidents, as well as a hasty, unsatisfactory marriage to Kempy James, who had fallen in love with Ruth Bence, Kate's young- er sister. But later, Kate, admitting her inability to live up to her lofty ambitions, had her marriage annulled and married Duke Merrill, the lover whom she had tried to hurt by her first marriage. Kempy, free to marry the lady of his choice, married Ruth Bence. Junior Class PL-113 HE MANNER in1 which each member of the cast presented the Junior Class Play, Polly With a Past, before a packed house Wednesday evening, January 26, suggested a professional rather than an amateur production. ' Miss Catherine Jones, who coached the play, deserves many of the laurels for the success with which it terminated. Millicent Campbell was exactly the type for the part of Polly Shan- non. First, as a petite maid, then as a shining light from the theatri- cal world with a dreadful past and a French accent, and finally as a demure, little country maiden, she could not be excelled. Robert Howard was exceptionally good in the role of Rex Van- Zile, the love-stricken hero. Clarence Welsh and William Anderson interpreted well the parts of bachelor pals of the hero. To have found a more perfect interpretation of the role of Myrtle Davis, portrayed by Gertrude Sellers, would have been diflicult. Charlotte Rapp was exceedingly motherly and attractive as Mrs. Davis. ' Charles Geiger, in the amusing role of a drunkard, rescued by Miss Davis, who is always saving people, furnished the laughter of the evening. He wa excellent in his interpretation of this role. As Mrs. Martha VanZile, Rex's mother, Christina McAtee could scarcely be excelled. Ted Huffman, as oommodore Bob Parker and man of the world, created much amusement and played his part in a capable and pleas- ing manner. As the suave uncle of Rex, a man of knowledge, Benjamin Burch- ard was splendid and a better character could not have been chosen for this role. , Grace Randall was attractive and unassuming as a maid should be. The role of The Stranger, an excitable foreign musician, could not have been more cleverly interpreted than by Roy Dearduff. The charming play deals with the love affairs of Rex VanZile, Polly Shannon and Myrtle Davis. The conceited Rex, who fancies himself madly in love with Myrtle, determines to win all of her love, but Myrtle is so much devoted to philanthropic work that she is indif- ferent to her lover's attentions. Polly, a maid, who has ambitions to study music abroad, is pre- vailed upon by Clay Collum and Harry Richardson to assume the role of Polly With a Past in a plot to win Myrtle for Rex through jeal- ousy. The many tangles work themselves into a complication whereby Rex falls in love with the charming Polly, and wins her, much to the sorrow of Myrtle and the astonishment of all.

The play was made up of two intriguing love stories.

The Orchestra The Orchestra was reorganized again this year and was an organi- zation which added very materially to the success of various activities of the school. The Orchestra played for the Operetta Pickles and for the Junior and Senior Class Plays. Much favorable comment was received. Miss Helen Sheldon directed the Orchestra most efficiently and its success was due largely to her untiring effort and patience. Each year sees some improvement in the Orchestra and it is now one of which Hartford High may justly feel proud. The Orchestra was composed of: Violins-Madeline Nelson, Elizabeth Hollis, Betty De- Wees and Lewis Henley. Cornets-Bernard McAdams, Fred Spaulding, Ralph James and Crystal Kirk. Clarinets-Bob Helmet, Gilbert Swaim, George Gardiner and Annibelle Kirk. Saxaphones-Betty Jane Casterline, Theodore Hoffman. Piano-Maxine Rutledge. Drums-John Hollis. Trombones-George Legross.

All the world's a stage ...... and all the cats and kittens merely players. When no one is looking he climbs upon the table, helps him- self to whatever suits his taste, upsets the rest, climbs down and lies contentedly by the fire with a nonchalant look upon his face. Once upon a time our aunt gave us two, kittens, and my mother, who is a member of the Humane Society, took them to rear. She promptly gave them the names of Calvin Coolidge and Little Genevieve, although both happened to belong to the male gender. As time passed, being of sound body and appetite they naturally grew up into cat-hood. My mother would not allow them to be pun- ished, no matter what they did. But old Sock, our gardener, was curing his rheumatics so that he could swing a hoe harder. For, so he said, he was going to help them shuffle off this mortal coil because every time he made a nice, soft bed in which to plant a few sunilowers and dog fennel, they would come over and take a beauty nap until Sock spied them. Thus they lived in daly peril. One day my mother lost her temper. When she came home from the grocery all she could find of Polonius, her pet canary, was a few feathers and a broken cage, and over in the corner was Cal-looking very satisfied and washing his face. The evidence pointed out that Calvin was the murderer and so she let fiy a bottle of milk which caught poor Cal on the back of the head, and from that time to the day of his death he had a hypertrophied bump of intellectuality. Little Genevieve and Calvin met their Nemesis at the same time. They had acquired the habit of serenading each other on the back fence every night and the neighbors did not seem overly appreciative. Every morning we would flnd shoes, clocks, books, apple cores and what-nots in our yard. It really was quite profitable for us, although the shoes were seldom mates and the clocks refused to run. One night when our furred friends were more musical than usual I got up to throw a missile in their direction, and in the moonlight I saw a man with a shotgun over by our fence, pointing the fire-arm in their direction. And as everything comes to those who wait, I kept still. Lacking perspicacity the poor cats would not run and I held my hands up to my ears ...... A muffled roar and two grease spots on the fence ...... Now, my little friends, the moral to this little epic of human life is ...... no matter how dark or stormy the night may be, always have your English lesson. FINIS. VAUGI-IN THORNBURG, '27, SUCH IS LOVE The Aquatic sailed for Europe amid the usual farewell scenes. Mary Cornwall presented a decided contrast to the other passengers, most of whom were jaded rich people, to whom the journey over was more or less of a bore. Mary was taking her first trip, and was pleasantly excited. She could not understand the admonition of her friends, the Carrols, ex- perienced voyagers, when they advised her to make her first few meals light ones. Being young and healthy, and rather hungry, she ate a substantial lunch and a dinner that was equally so. About 2:00 A. M. the ship's doctor was summoned to cabin 12, and Mary was not seen on deck until evening of the next day. When she did come up for air, she looked rather pale around the gills, and when the dinner gong sounded, she covered her ears and went dizzily down to her room. But on the third day out she enjoyed herself. There was a rather high sea, and, as she stood at the rail, the ship 'suddenly lurched,, throwing her backward into the arms of a stout old gentle- man, who, in an attempt to keep his balance, had thrown himself for- ward. At the ,impact they both rolled ignominiously on the deck, to the delight of the audience. At that crucial moment, up rushed a tall young man. Uncle! he gasped. Are you hurt? May I help you up, Miss 1--, and he looked inquiringly at Mary, who said composedly: Miss Cornwall, and you may. 4 He laughed and lifted her, and as she sensed his strength, Mary decided she didn't want him to release her, so she did a shameful and surprising thing. As he loosened his arms, Mary tried to stand but wobbled about and with a stifled groan, sank again to the deck, and looked beseechingly up at him. I can't stand, she said. Something must be wrong with my ankle, and it does hurt so. Tears filled her eyes, as she rubbed at her left ankle. CWas it Bill Shakespeare who said that all the world is a stage?j Im so sorry, he answered sympathetically. But you know you really can't sit here. If you can't stand I'll carry you. She de- murred slightly, but he picked her up, and carried her down to her state room. You needn't tell me where it is, he said laughinglyg I watched you go in night before last. On the way down, Mary had noticed among other things that he had black curly hair, and the most beautiful deep blue eyes she had ever seen, clean cut features, and an infectious smile. And his name was Fenningway,-the Bob Fenningway of whom she had read in the Sunday supplements, she decided. The ease with which he carried her created in her a profound liking for that form of transportation. Bob had noticed things also, Miss Cornwall had soft brown hair and eyes, and was small and dainty. He believed he liked carrying such delectable burdens. When he had placed her carefully in a chair, and put a foot stool and a big pillow under her supposedly injured foot, she thanked him gracefully, with just the right sort of friendly, yet impersonal tone. Well, at least we are acquainted, she thought, after he had left. She went to dinner with a cheerful smile and a slight limp. She agreed pleasantly when Bob said that her foot had probably just been twisted. She danced with him once, but beyond that, she didn't come near him. She struck up quite a friendship with old Mr. Fenning- way in the few days that followed, and made him her willing slave: and when they docked a little later, he knew the address of her ho- tel, which he imparted to Bob, as she intended he should. That young hopeful followed her from one place to another, until he caught up with her in Rome. Being an extraordinary young man, and of un- usual perspicacity, he finally discovered her game. 'As any man does when he finds he is being made a fool of, Bob became angry. She was only playing with him. He resolved to assert himself. So he left for Switzerland, while the season at Rome was at its height. Mary only learned of his departure when he failed to arrive to escort her to a dance, and sent a note instead, expressing regret. It was signed Rob- ert Fenningway, and they had been calling each other Bob and Mary for Weeks. Mary was hurt, but she tried not to show it. What could have happened? She didn't realize, until days had passed, bringing no word from him that instead of a mild flirtation, the affair had devel- oped a new aspect which she, at least, was unable -to control. But she did not indulge in the usual acts attributed to girls unhappily in love. She did not become a pale thin wisp, with sad, hollow eyes. Nevertheless, she was becoming more and more disconsolate, when the Carrols decided to go on to Switzerland. But Mary, quite contrary, decided suddenly that she didn't want to go to Switzer- land, and went to Spain instead. Fate seemed to have a hand in that for Bob happened to be there. He cou1dn't endure not having any- thing to do, for thoughts of Mary filled his leisure hours, so he had become assistant camera man in a small movie studio. All he did was to grind and grind, when the regular man was tired, or to take minor parts in mob scenes. One day a party of tourists came on the lot and Mary was among them. Most of the actors had left for home, but Bob lingered, put- ting away the cameras and accessories. Mary finally came out of the studio where, lost to time, she had been studying various parts of the equipment. She was surprised to see that it was growing dark and she saw nothing of the rest of the party. The reason was simple-they had left. The studio was a mile or more from the town and Mary looked at the road with growing dismay. Pardon-may I help you? said a voice in her left ear, and she looked up-into Bob's face. It is said that when two people in love meet unexpectedly, the true feeling shows plainly in the face. So it was now. Words were superfluous. Bob held out his arms, and Mary took her proper place. - And they call it love, you know. VIVIAN NOBLE, '29, FUTS 21 .1 'f UfQ .ie I .

THESE MODERN BUSINESS MEN Is there a modern business man who has never gazed reluc- tantly at one of these modern sheiks with long sleek hair, fair skin, wide baggy trousers of the tent-fitting variety without inwardly-if not audibly-ridiculing him? Yet-this very same man will dress up in short pants, a motley sweater with hose to match and sport shoes and hoof it to the links. After he complains all day about how extravagant his wife is and how fatigued he is from walking so much in the oflice he will hail a gum-chewing, freckle-faced caddy and start his antics. In the office if one of his clerks in a moment of exasperation, utters a relieving word of profanity, it is an unpardonable sin, but with the boss on the links it is perfectly legitimate. After reproaching his young daughter for the money expended on costly necessities and for the seemingly crazy positions that she as- sumes in executing these modern dance steps, he takes his pet fif- teen dollar driver and attempts to knock a one dollar golf ball so far into the etherial spaces that it would land in the cup of the.next green. The twistings and the painful postures and the language exer- cised in the operation would put to shame a contortionist or a truck driver. When he has finally succeeded ln hitting the pellet, this poor overworked business man will gladly force his weary way over the rolling green in search of the golf ball. He finally finds it idly float- ing in a creek. Does he grumble and swear as he usually does when he gets caught in the rain and gets his feet wet? I should say not -he wades right in, cheerfully ruining his twelve dollar sport shoes and proceeds in his attempt to further the career of the ball around the course. Then he once more drags his over-worked body over the greens and the search begins again. But this time it is in vain, so he cheerfully produces another ball and continues with it. If his understanding wife should happen to misplace 51.00 in cash I won- der if this man would pass over it as easily as he did the lost 81.00 goli ball? Thus he proceeds around the course day after day. When his wife wants to use the car he complains because he has to walk a few squares to work, but he will gladly walk miles and miles on the links. At home he lectures his son on the virtues of truthfulness, but after he has finished his golf course he not only subtracts his score but divides it. Then--in spite of his disapproval of any member of his family who exaggerates, he boasts of his score to his club mates, deducting a stroke each time he tells it. This worn out business man goes home from a day on the links having lost seven 81.00 golf balls, ruined his shoes and caught a cold and lectures his family on extravagance. And it is the end of a per- fect day. THELMA J. GRANT, '27, AN EPIC There was a fiy- A little guy: He had big feet But not much meat. He had big eyes As big as pies, He had no nose And wore no hose.

Some of them produce a lot of peaches, and the same branch may also bear nuts. May blossoms are found nestling in the leafy branches and perchance a few withered wall-flowers are found tucked away in sundry nooks. Lemons are common on some of the trees: prunes and quinces also abound. Some of this fruit is easy picking and some of it has to be pretty well shaken before it will fall. You will find many little love nests tucked away in the branches of the old family tree, and also some pretty queer birds. But, everything considered, the family tree is a pretty good tree, and it is quite a calamity to fall out of it. SELECTED. fl ll Ill I ll Il Ill CHILDRENS DEFINITIONS Bed-time-Shut eye time.

When no one was near, the stranger would go to the grave of James Watson. There he would stand with bowed head for half an hour, then leave as quietly as he had come. At last the caretaker, a kindly, sympathetic old man, managed to get acquainted with him and finally asked why he came so reg- ularly to the cemetery. The young fellow seemed to grow suddenly older and was silent for a few moments, but at last he seated himself wearily on a bench and began his story. I It all happened when I was sixteeng I was workin' in a glass factory with my pal, Jimmy, yonder. And as generally happens, we fell out-over nothin'. It was 'cause somebody put a piece of hot glass where I'd sit on it. Wasn't nobody around but Jimmy, so I ac- cused him of it. He said he didn't an' I called him a liar before I thought. I was awful mad. Well, Jimmy got sorta pale and took after me. I ran around the factory and at last ducked under the tank to catch my breath. Jimmy caught me there. We had a few hard words. Then we both went up the inside stairway, neither of us speakin'g but when we reached the iron door at the top we found it was locked. Jimmy came back down with me followin'. There was only one other way out, which was to the outside an' we started for that. We had almost reached the door when there was a crash an' the floor of the tank at one side of the exit broke through. The blocks had stood the strain of seventeen hundred tons of glass as long as they could. In just a few seconds there was a stream of liquid glass between us and safety. As the tank floor was flush with the factory floor, we were in an oven. In a few minutes we would have been burned to death. I was scared, afraid of that horrible tide comin' at me. I sprang for the stairs but Jimmy, seeming to keep cool in spite of danger, drew me back. 'You'll fry up there. Gotta go over, not up,' he said calmly. I jerked loose, insensible to reason an' went up. But the rickety old stairs were weakened by the hot glass on 'e1n. My weight pulled 'em over an' I fell fifteen feet, breaking my arm and straining my leg so badly I couldn't stand. But I was too scared to faint. Imagine! Broken arm, bad leg, and that molten yellow river coming toward me, through almost unbearable heat. Jimmy forgot to be scared, though. He picked me up in his arms as if I'd been a baby. Funny he hadn't been so strong before. 'R He murmured, 'We're goin' through, Buddy, you and I.' Then he started wadin'-wadin' that lake of fire! :'f TZ- '1 7'? T , ... Eight feet wide that ghastly stream was, and six inches deep. Jimmy's shoes were burned off at the second step, but you'd never have known it from the way he marched on. Two feet farther and safety! Just then Jimmy stumbled and fell. But he thought of me first-I, that had accused him of lyin'. With a mighty effort he gave me a toss through the doorway as he went down, an' came on on his hands and knees. Those eyes--such suffering! Will I never for- get them? gasped the young fellow, clenching his fists. Just inside the doorway he fell unconscious. I crawled out and sent two men in after him. Then I fainted. The first thing I knew, I was in a little white bed at a hospi- tal. Next to me was Jimmy, but what a change! Bandaged from head to foot-but smilin'. I looked at the doctor. He shook his head despairingly. Then I apologized to Jim for speakin' like I did. My words seemed colorless an' without feelin' but Jimmy smiled. He un- derstood. He died the next day. His last words were, 'I'm sorry, old pal, for gettin' sore. Won't you forgive me an' come over?' Poor buddy. He didn't realize he was goin' home for good ..... I've come to see him every evening for nine years, now, and I always will. Everytime I even think of speakin' harsh to anybody, or of not comin' to see Jimmy, I seem to see his eyes, as he waded through that glarin', flamin' stream-for me. l Maybe this to you seems foolish but-Jimmy understands. And with one last look at his friend's final resting place, the young man walked slowly away. The caretaker silently and reverently clipped the grass on J immy's grave .... CLIFFORD ELLIS, '28.

BLUFFTON GAME The Airdales played like potential State Champs and the entire squad performed in faultless style for forty minutes. Markin's eight field goals meant a lot in the check up. Powell was a revelation at the under-the-basket job. The final score was 36-27, with Bluffton holding the sock. DUNKIRK FIGHT In the biggest farce of the year, Dunkirk was allowed to pitch 39 fouls and thereby won the game by a seven point margin. The Crown City boys were accurate from the charity zone. 'PICKLEH KASTY PINKIE FORT WAYNE ENCOUNTER The Airdales dropped the Fort Wayne Central Tigers in a forty- minute battle with a count of 32 to 24. Markin had his basket eye sharpened and hit seven times from the field. UNION CITY Two nights later the speedy Union City quintette went basket-mad and handed the boys their worst defeat in three years. The locals were unable to locate the hoop and their passing was woefully inaccurate. The score was 41-19. Rather pitiful, wasn't it? FORT WAYNE THERE In the return game the Fort Wayne Centralites evened the seas- on's count and dusted off the home boys to the tune of 23 to 19 in a game during which Hartford City seemed still in the grip of a slump. Red Ellis was the big gun of the entire game. FAIRMOUNT GAME The Airdales failed to even reach first base against the flashy Quakers and were given a 34-18 lacing. Granger was the only one who played his regular game. Evidently the locals were still in the slump. MONTPELIER FRACAS Montpelier was bewildered with the Airdales' attack and withered under a 30-16 fire. The Pacers simply could not penetrate the territory defended bv Wright and Powell. The Airdale reserves-James, C. Wright, DeWald and Kastetter-finished the game in grand style. PORTLAND SLAUGHTER In a terrible contest, which lacked even the few thrills of a Sun- day school contest, the Airdales again mauled the Portland Panthers. Kastetter was the only Canine who played his usual brand of ball, 39 to 11 was the verdict. ALEXANDRIA QUARREL The Alexandria quarrel was renewed and resulted in the squaring of the season's account. Captain Granger went on a scoring spree, hitting nine times from the fieldg and the scales tipped 49-28 in our favor at the final gun. S Q, . .,.. X X x Q K X' ' 3 Ni 5,4 ,X : , f if S, , 1 f AD , 3 HHUCKH nDOC,. .IBUSU CATHEDRAL ARGUMENT For a while the Indianapolis boys threatened to make things hot for the locals, but Granger started firing again and this pulled the issue at stake out of the fire right nicely. BLUFFTON THERE The boys were unable to make it two straight over Bluffton and were run home with a 35-27 score. In the last half fouls forced an almost complete change in a line-up which was not able to keep step with the speedy Tiger offense. Jennart played a flashy game. MONTPELIER HERE Hartford City played too much like State Champions to permit 'Pelier even to look like a team. Hoss, Ray and Al kept the basket hot, while Wright and Powell kept the Pacers tiring from mid-court. The score was 38-16. PENDLETON CONTEST The season wound up with a brilliant, thrilling battle with Pendle- ton's fast travelling Zebras. Markin's and Kastetter's offense was beau- tiful, while Ellis and Wright displayed a splendid defensive. The score was knotted in the last half six times and only in the last minute was victory assured for the Airdales. The final count was 30-27. THE DISTRICT TOURNEY In their first game at the Sectional, the locals had easy skating with Madison's cohorts. Granger, Kastetter and Markin fired away at will and all connected easily. The final score of the carnage was 50-19. THE END Then came the big laugh for tragedyj of the year. After mauling Montpelier twice by top-heavy scores, the Canines faltered, and after a battle to the death, were eliminated by the Pacers by one sickening point. Each Airdale fought hard, but Montpelier was keyed up for this game and nosed their way to a 23-22 victory.

Boqs' Basketball Tourneq The Freshmen won the Boys' Interclass Tourney from the Sopho- mores in the finals with a score of 16-12.

Porter and Smoots played wonderful games but were unable to count. In the first round the Seniors were defeated by the Juniors and the Sophomores by the Freshmen. Both games were fast, brillfant and decisive, bringing the Freshmen and the Juniors to the front. Day, Noble and Campbell were the leading lights of the Seniors, while Williams, Lennon and Kastetter led the Sophomores. The all-class team picked this year is as follows: M.

VAUGHN AND HOWA RD Z7 AND SO IT CAME TO PASS- Below we have the harrowing tale of how dear old Hartford lost the championship game to the Hated Putman Hall Cadets. There were but two fleeting moments in which dear old Hartford could try to erase the effervescent odor of defeat which hung in clouds in the cloudless sky. With the score twelve to six in favor-not of Hartford City, DeWald, the Airdale, IA back, cogitated deeply. Such were his ruminations: A touch down, and I shall'achieve such fame as comes only to Caesars, Napoleons and Seniors, he mused, and if I kick the goal- oh, I dare not presume too much. And so it came to pass that DeWald thought and thought and thought of a scheme by which Dame Victory could be wooed by them. And yea verily, it was even so that he thought and thunk until the final gun went off. And the score was still 12 to 6-not in favor of Hartford City. QPress dispatch: DeWald is resting nicely and is expected to be up and around in a year or sol.

A difference of fifty cents in this case, replied the agent. The lower is higher than the upper. The higher price is for the lower. If you want it lower you will have to go higher. We sell the uppers lower than the lower. In other words the higher the lower. Most people don't like the upper, although it is lower, on account of its being higher. When you occupy an upper you have to get up to go to bed and get down when you get up. You can have the lower if you pay higher. The upper is lower than the lower because it is higher. If you are willing to go higher it will be lower. If- But by this time the poor man had fainted. Contributed by MR.

When it was getting on toward night They were attacked by an appetite. They directed their steps toward a little creek But before they approached they took a peep- And what did they see but a great big bear, Eating their lunch like he didn't care! They turned and ran with all their might And their hair stood up from the awful fright. As they ran home with such great speed One of them hopped on a velocipedeg When they rushed in with breath in short pants Out came their grandchildren, cousins and auntsg They related the story as best they could How a bear attacked them in the heart of the wood. Now the relatives believed this story so true And each one that reads it should believe it, too. BOB HOWARD, '28, II if if Il! 'lk Ili Ill Good Lord, Diana, what brings you to this terrible dive?

All would-be Seniors, Faculty and Cus- todians of the school were in charge of the children. The scene was lighted up by Russian lanterns and wood alcohol. The air was hung with manila hemp and rag weeds which created a delicious odor in the surrounding ether. Henry Young gave a talk on next year's coal problem. Mr. Young is very competent in this line of work, having carried in coal for his wife for nearly twenty years. Dainty refreshments were next served by the ladies of the Ath- letic Association. The breakfast consisted of three courses. T The first course served was corned beef and cabbage. The second course was the same as the first. The third course was the same as the second. The music was furnished by Paul Whiteman's orchestra. The polka and square dances were interpreted by those present. The main event of the evening was a highland fling by Mr. Kelsay. As his encore he sang Show Me the Way to Go Home. The next feature was the high-diving event, starring Miss Furney. She plunged into a basin of water from the height of about twenty-six feet, or, to be exact, twenty-seven feet. The basin was an enlarged horse tank. The only catastrophe of the evening was when Mr. Pressler fell through the skylightg but luckily he fell in the soft coal, thereby saving himself. Mr. Mansfield got mad and left early when someone hit him in the ear with a gob fpardon the slangj of mashed potatoes. The closing event was the rehearsing of the Senior Class play Kempy. After this the curfew blew and all went home. A good time was had by all. And in closing I wish to say that there was a great demand for doctors-even Mr. Hdye-the next day.

THE MOVING FINGER WRITES AND HAVING WRIT - The war was over and he had come home a hero. He was a tine lad with a smiling countenance and the reason for the smile was that Some One was waiting for him. He passed the church which he had attended all the years of his life. Thinking he heard music he paused. Listening for a moment he heard distinctly the strains of Mendelsson's wedding march. By this he knew that the wedding ceremony was finished so he decided to walk slowly past, in order that he might see who the happy and fortunate two were. Thinking dreamily of the day when he would say, I do, he for- got everything till the doors were thrown open and the newlyweds came out. He looked at the man and recognized his old chum, then he bent his eye on the bride. ' A sudden tenseness, a throbbing silence, a sense of crashing down- down through infinite space and then- Patricia! he gasped.

We wish to take this small space allotted us to sincerely thank our readers for their patience and also for their contributions. When we were Freshmen we wished we were out of school, but now that we are the cream of the High School we wish we were back there somewhere in the past.
