Mr. Kelsay has truly won the sincere regard of all Hartford High School by his effortsg especially has he called for the utmost esteem of the graduating class in whose interests he has. taken an active part. Mr. Kelsay came here from the Hammond schools six years ago and since that time has served as principal of the high school. MR. TELLE The term a good fellow doesn't always apply to the young and frivolous alone. Mr. Telle has business ability plus good fellowship, a combination which warms the heart of all mankind. As superintendnet for the last six years, he has done much toward improving the spirit of the school by his earnest co-operation in all affairs centering in and around the school-city. , S HE efliciency of the Hartford City school system is recognized by its accredited rating-due, in chief, to the able administration of Mr. Kelsay and Mr. Telle, whose constant aims have been united in the common cause of services Each has given liberally of his time and energy, striving to raise the standard of the schools, con- tributing his support to work that was of benefit to the school system and student body as a whole. Hartford City's school system has no peer in the state, among those of its size. The curriculum is of the highest type and the student product of the school is sufficient to warrant the gratitude of the public in further advancing the system. The city school board is likewise to be congratulated upon its spirit of co-operation. They have counseled with the two school executives and consented willingly to projects for the betterment of the school. The Senior class has but words of praise for such able administration and sees in the future, further successes in the school city.

And It Came to Pass-J' jvc N the fifth day of the second month in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and three, in the reign of Drybread, surnamed Charles, to whom had been given the 'f5fl3 title of Superintendent,.there was great wailing far and wide over the fair city of Hartford. For alas and alaclc! the High School building had burned in the night. Super- intendent Drybread then did call before him his trusty advisers, Lupton, son of Adelma, and Hindman, husband of Ida. There was much tossing of words, and soon money was appro- priated for the housing of school children. ' Far and wide was there great rejoicing, for had not an architect of the house of Brown been called to plan for a new House of Wisdom? This High School building was to be a wonderful structure, two stories in height foh, marvelous sightij, with eighteen rooms in which the teachers would impart their wondrous wisdom to unworthy students. . In the month of january in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and five, in the reign of Drybread, the students and awe-struck people of the surrounding territory did joy- ously enter the completed Hall of Education. The building was marvelous with steam heat fwonder of wondersij and with teachers fair to look upon and learned in pedo- gogical arts. A For ten long years did our children imbibe the words of wisdom in the High School of Hartford City. Then in the reign of Superintendent Myers, advised by Cox, surnamed Edward, and Fulton, father of George, James and Susanna, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fourteen, did the fathers of our fair city decide to add to our marvelous building. Much rejoicing and happiness was there over this addition, for great was the need thereof. The new building was indeed a wonderful sight, looming to the sky and covering much territory. A gymnasium was there, and a swimming pool! Also were there countless class rooms in which the curious might learn of the wonderful things of the world. And now in the reign of Paul of the house of Kelsay, and Telle, surnamed George, and in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, the Home of Wisdom still does stand in Hartford City, and does still send forth into the world its students, wonderfully educated.

So it was with the Class of 1928. After all these many years, during which 'the way has sometimes been rough and stormy, sometimes smooth and quiet, I still can find in my reminiscences memories of the long ago days when we sat on little red chairs and stacked them on little black 'tables when school was out in the evening. But list !- Years passed by, :and Ernest ceased to be a child. So did We of the Class of 1928. Through eight for morel long years we plodded on, until the early autumn of 1924 found us ready to com- mence our High School careers. ' ' Members of the Class of '28 will long remember the fact that hazing among the boys came to a sudden death during our Freshman year. As Freshmen we elected Arthur Reasoner, presidentg Frederick Burns, vice presidentg Geraldine Cronin, secretaryg and Helen Ruble, treasurer. Ben DeWees acted as class adviser, chaperon, etc. There was a very 'cold Cspeaking of the weatherj hayride, and a hard times party was fully en- joyed. Our boys lost the inter-class basketball crown to the Seniors by one point. 1 For the Sophomore year we elected as class o'fTicers: Franklin DeWald ia new gentleman from. Fort Waynel, presidentg Raymond Kastetter, vice president, Helen Ruble, secretary, and Freda Foster, treasurer. Class activities were confined to a hayride and a hard times party. The last two years are always the busy years for a class and ours was no exception. As usual we first elected class officers, who were as fol- lows: Junior Powell, president, Franklin DeWald, vice presidentg Char- lotte Rapp, secretaryg and Charlotte Lee Hill, treasurer. With our en- ergetic class fully organized, our task was to devise Ways and means by which to pay for the J unior-Senior. : After a good, rousing Hallowe'en party, the class rings came and enthusiasm was at fever pitch when our Junior class play- Polly With a Past was finally presented after numerous postpbnements. An entertain- ment by Percy Abbott, an Australian magician, was sponsored by the J un- ior class. Then the climax of the year's activities as Juniors came--the Junior-Senior banquet and dance. No one can deny that the Class of '28 gave the Class of '27 a real for sure reception. During the year addi- tional stars found their places in our crown when the Junior girls won the girls' interclass basketball tournament, and wheii certain members of the class brought honor to the school by their individual achievements. Betty ' r I I -I ,arf 'RNA Q :fl ' xl m 5 ' V q 5 X- .. ,E A 9 ' 'I 'f -4 I P . 29 860. DeWees won second place in the State Latin Contest, and Charles Geiger won first place in the State Chemistry Essay Contest. Enough for our Junior year! , Upon entering the last lap of our high school course we felt very much elated over our past successes, and Well might we have been called Those Dignified Seniors. The honor of being president of the Senior Class of 1928 fell to Junior Powell, and that of vice president to Raymond Kastetter. Charlotte Lee Hill was placed in the office of the secretary, and Franklin DeWald was made treasurer. Social activities for the year were confined to carry-in-suppers and banquets, but inour more serious activities we made up for any deficiency. A subscription campaign for the Curtis Magazines was the first finan- cial endeavor of the class. More than one hundred subscriptions were sold. The crowning achievement of the year was the Senior Class play, The Whole Town's Talking. T'he play was presented twice before a packed auditorium, and was truly a success. The great success of the play was due largely to the efforts of Charles E. Shank, of Angola, professional coach of great ability, who had an all-star cast with which to Work. The members of the class worked to-gether in the task of advertising and pro- ducing the play in a spirit of harmony and co-operation seldom found in a senior class. More glory was added to our name when the Seniors Won both the boys' and the girls' interclass basketball tournament. Throughout the year our worthy school paper, The Insight, was issued at regular intervals. As an added feature of this year's Insight, the management subscribed to a High School Newspaper Service which furnishes cuts and cartoons for the paper. By this service we were en- abled to make the Insight doubly attractive and interesting. You now may judge for yourselves the merits of the 1928 Retro. With the memorable Hick and Ham Day the Junior-Senior, Bac- calaureate services, and Commencement, life in Hartford City High School comes to a close for the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-eight. The rest is silence. A CHARLES GEIGER. A L wifi j, .f 'T is. ., gf 1' x. L :G orse The Class Prophecy U VH, how interesting, that term the futuref' The past is gone, to Cf' be sure, we care not for that, the present.is already here so what care we for that? But the future! The great, and bafliing future, which holds in store for us so many hardships, joys, sorrows or what have you? I' Now, by way of introducing myself, I am the great Professor I. C. All, crystal-gazer and professor of the grim exponents of the future. One day while sitting in my studio examining: my new 987 horsepower crystal, which was, by the way, a product of my, own inventive genius, a rather tall, and powerful man entered. He appeared to be more than six feet in height, wore glasses which partly hid his'beautiful blue eyes, and seemed to be very modest,-for his age. Enteriiig slowly, he appeared to be worried. , Professor, I am Principal Paul Kelsay of the Hartford City High School, an institution for the primary purpose' of study, learning and what's-it-to-you. I have come to you because am very much worried about the future of my Senior class, he said. f'I fear they are nothing but a bunch of hopeless dubs who will never taste success. Ah, my dear friend, I interrupted, I fear you have taken them too seriouslyg they surely must not have such a dark future. Mr. Kelsay, for the sum of twenty-five dollars I will expound to you, the complete future of your Senior class, I said. I Being delighted at getting so much at such a 'bargain he quickly tossed five crisp new bills upon the table, and I immediately commenced my task. My first look into the crystal revealed a very promising future, as a whole, for the entire class. Most of them seemed to be progressing well in the trials and tests of life. Presently I concentrated my gaze and singled out the individuals. Ah, first I seemed to see an ocean surf and a long, hard, sandy beach. There was quite a crowd gathered for some reason. Presently a mighty roar was heardg then, with a great white blur, a roaring racer rushed past and in a little while a man named John Williams, I' who was the official time- keeper of the A. A. A. Society, announced that Captain Theodore Hoffman had just broken the world's speed record by making the unbelievable speed of 504.08 miles per hour in his new 0ldsm.obile nolbeam special. Next I saw a newspaper with the enormoufs headlines, Hildebrand Scores Again. The article told how Promoter Bob Hildebrand had again I gf -fi' 'M f ., ' ef- if 3 5 0 .Z I , PCI QQQ. signed the wo-rld's heavy weight champion, Charles, alias Wildcat Hughes, for another million dollar iight. My crystal then became just a bit clouded, so I polished it with a few magic touches and the next time I looked I was surprised to find myself in the midst of the Olympic games. Two U. S. athletes had just broken the world? s sprinting records. Their names were Harold, or Firpo, Miles and Wally Brothers. The scene then changed to a large social circle where Miss Gertrude Sellers was entertaining her friends at an afternoon tea in her Greenwich Village studio. Some of the old H. C. Hi. S. students present were Freda Foster and Mary Louise Mannan. All of these old grads had reached the heights of the social realm. Next I saw a large Chicago theatre. Verda Emshwiller sat in the box office and dealt out the tickets dexterously to the waiting line of peo- ple. I recognized Mr. and Mrs. DeWald among those in the waiting line. Perhaps I should explain that Mr. DeWald's wife was the former Miss Charlotte Rapp. This man,'DeWald, attracted my interest and I decided to follow him into the theatre. He purchased his tickets and proceeded into the lobby and to his surprise recognized Roy Dearduff, the manager of the theatre and one of his old classmates. Mr. DeWald shook hands with him and in the conversation Roy inquired what occupation he was following now. Mr. DeWald replied that he had acquired no small amount of fame as a missionary in the South Sea Islands. I was just becoming interested in their conversation when the scene faded and presently a huge grandstand and racing course came into view. The people thronged in the grandstand were vigorously applauding the newly crowned Kentucky Derby winner which was ridden by Jockey Mar- ion Cheesman. Jockey Cheesman barely nosed out a victory over the nearest competito-r which was ridden by Jimmy Partlow. Both were jockeys of great fame. The scene then shifted to a crowded court room. Order, order, I must have order in this court room! ro-ared Judge Geiger. Quite a com- motion had arisen when Judge Geiger had passed a severe sentence upon a young man for operating his airplane without license plates. The de- fending attorney, Benjamin Burchard, was pleading the case with tear- filled eyes but to no avail in the eyes of the stern-minded Geiger. But owing to the lack of time I could not tarry longer, so I made a magic pass over the crystal, which brought forth fleeting glimpses into scenes of domestic bliss. I saw Dorothea McDonald happily married to a British co-unt. Dorothea had achieved her lifelong desire to acquire a title. And there was Jerry' Cronin, the happy wife of a glass foreman and the mother of six. Then there was Christina McAtee, Charlotte Lee X P 'I ,ffk 3 ' 1' S - s I si K N? X QT- V-,I f 7' It I 2-'i3 ff5'o a Hill, Martha Muterspaugh, Alene Clark, Ella McGary, Crystal Alfrey and Mary Dee, who had all become matrimonial advocates. Next I saw a large gymnasium packed with people. The frantic bas- ketball fans, led by Yell Leader Milly Hoad, were cheering Coach Powell and his collegiate netters on to another Big Ten conference victory. However, the scene soon changed and I found myself peering into a large office. There seemed to be some ten or twelve secretaries working in the outer office, and the strange thing was that this number was made up chiefly of old H. C. H. S. students. As my eyes traveled on down the long row of desks, I saw a door with an inscription upon it: Clifford Babbitt, President of U. S. Steel Corporation. Inside Mr. Babbitt and his three chief engineers, James Moore, Walter Marchal, and Clarence Wentz were discussing their new product, hole-proof steel. I wondered why Mr. Bab- bitt held so many old graduates under his employment and finally found out that he was very partial to his old classmates in selecting his employees. There was Juanita Waite, his private secretary, and among her assistants were Lois Casterline, Ruth Clamme, Anna Marie Cook, Denoma. Crissman, Crystal Moo-n, Virginia Long and Thelma Miller, all of whom I learned had attained a high mark of efficiency as secretaries. Next there appeared in my crylstal the front of a large clothing store and a large sign above it, Big 31.98 Sale, Now Going On. Under it ap- peared the names of Stein 8: Anderson, Clothiers. It seemed that Sey- mour had taken Bill in as a partner. . Next a Chicago newspaper appeared and I was surprised to see that it was edited by Ab Cox, one of thegdld Hartford City scribes. My second surprise came when I saw the largelffheadlines: Madame Suite Successfully Swims Across the Pacific. The 'article told how Miss Suite, aided by her navigator, Helen Goff, who followedfon-'a pair of 'water wings, had made first successful attempt at swimming the Pacific. It seemed that failure appeared to be inevitable for the young mermaid when her strength gave out while some two miles from the American shoreg but luckily, along came a sailing yacht which was manned by' Harry Groves, who, recognizing his old classmate, tossed her a-.tug rope and witlimuch difliculty succeeded in towing her ashore. Upon, reaching the shore she was 'awarded a silver lov- ing cup by the judges, Pauline: Wilson, Martha Willman and-Esther Robb. Evidently some of the old H. C. students were taking their fling at politics fo-r next I saw a sampleflballat of the oncoming Indiana primary election. Among some of the entrants' names which appeared upon it were: The'Hono-rable Ho-ward Parkinson, candidate for governorg 'June Pursley, for congressg James Tait, on the I. W. ticket for secretary of state, and Waughneda Powell,.jLouise B9,Qher, Evelyn Younce and Vivian Robson, all socialist candidatesffor stateurepresentatives. Evidently wom- .. A ,' ' ..-1 ,, ., I I 5, 5- 'Tin V ri , 0,11 y :a ssay an suffrage had reached a high standard. Since this was the campaigning season, I saw Ralph Pogue, who had become a great political boss, ad- dressing a large crowd, in his usual high-pitched, wheezy voice, on what the outcome of the oncoming election should be. The scene changed and a county court house appeared. Presently the office of the Humane Society came into view, where President Betty De- Wees had called a special conference of the officers of the society, among whom were Miss Marie Willman, Mildred Townsend, Ruby Peck, Lillian Perrell and Thelma Poulson. I saw Vera- Cummings touring the world in her private yacht giving lectures in various sea ports on the subject: Why Girls Should Not Chew Tobacco. Some of the old graduates had also become farmers of no mean ability. County Chairman Arthur Lechein had summoned his fellow worker, Bob Jones, and I saw them busily preparing a petition to congress begging them to give the farmer his rights. ' After I had expounded all this information to Mr. Kelsay, the prin- cipal, he seemed very much cheered and went dancing out of my office in a jubilant manner.

OT more than three- years ago, a group of Freshmen, distinguished mainly by their C 1 shiny noses, and the unnatural elevation to which pride had raised these mem- bers, stepped into, the ever-flowing'tide of high school life. And no wonder they were' proud. Had they not been raised from the ranks of the uninitiated to the breath-taking title of Freshmen? So with a steady faith and a resolution to make this the most ,worthy of all the classes ever-, graduated from Hartford High, they held their first class meeting and elected as officers: Thomas Cronin, president, Elizabeth Haynes, vice presi- dent, and Mabel Fee, Secretary-treasurer. Miss Mahoney was elected class adviser, while class colors of blue and white, and the rose as class fiower, were chosen. A Christmas party, with a real tree, and another one later on, finished our social ac- tivities, while in sports our boys were defeated in the finals by the Juniors, and the junior girls defeated our girls. Sophomore year started out with these officers at the helm: Leroy Kemper, president, Edythe Cox, vice president, and Mabel Fee, secretary-treasurer. Miss Mahoney was again class adviser. A We had two parties, and the girls served at the Junior-Senior banquet. In sports, amid much weeping, the Senior boys defeated our valiant soldiers, and the girls were also defeated by the Senior six. It was awful. We thought that we could never stand the disgrace, but we're still living. Then, a few days before the close of school, Poppy day came around, and we girls aided the American Legion, selling wearily, and far into the night. But we didn't mind it when we counted our share of the sales, for, lo and behold, we had made some money! Delightful feeling that. That ended our many activities, and no one was reported dead or wounded, but for a long time a few girls walked gingerly on protesting dogs. A Our Junior year started out with a bang fClyde Babbitt blew up a paper sackj, and Gilbert Swaim, Vera Wright, Sarah Worley, and Mabel Fee were put in charge of the des- tinies of the class. We wished the advisership on poor Mr. Turley, and he accepted with as good grace as he could master. Right away, problems of high finance beset our minds. We had to have some money. So we held a benefit show, and some markets. The Junior, glass play proved to be a wow, and we raked in the dough Then we held a party-a carry-in, I should say, and later on another benefit show. We elected next year's Insight and Retro staffs, and the very act made us feel nearer to graduation, but our biggest triumph was our Junior-Senior banquet. After having our boys defeated in the sport realm by the corn-feds fa crushing humiliationj, and our girls forfeiting the game to the Senior girls, we closed a year of much and varied activity, and dropped from our shoulders the heavy, grinding burden of responsibility of our Junior year.

HE class of 1930 was guided through its first year under the leadership of the following officers: Gordon C Moore, presidentg Ann Elizabeth Gough, vice presi- dent, and Geneva Sprague, secretary-treasurer. Miss Chal- fant sponsored the class. In April, 1927, the first party was enjoyed by the class at the high school building. The Freshman boys' basketball team won the inter-class championship for 1927. The class organized in October, 1927 , for its second year. The officers elected were: Betty Sellers, presidentg Robert Marchal, vice presidentg Virginia Lenon, secretaryg Wilbur Lord, treasurer, and Miss Chalfant and Mr. Mansfield were class advisers. On November 14, 1927, about eighty members of the class enjoyed a party at the high school building. During the year the class has taken part in- the inter- class basketball tournament and the inter-class oratorical contest. As a means of financing the class activities, a tax of twenty-five cents per year is charged each member.. They also took charge of the poppy sale for the World War vet- erans. The class received a bonus for assisting in the ticket sale for Seven Keys to Baldpatef' a home talent play pre- sented by the American Legion here in May. ix 'il' K- N I Q -1 . X 'L ..

The class has one hundred thirty-five members, and is one of the largest Freshman classes in the history of the school. Throughout the school year it has shown unusual interest in school activities and has taken part enthusias- tically in various contests. ' In basketball the class was represented by several who were regular players on the second team. Especial inter- est was aroused in the class toward the Inter-Class ora- torical contest. The Freshmen supported their orators loy- ally, having a larger attendance than any other class. Promising material for future oratoricals was disclosed by the Freshman' contestants. Both the band and orchestra have claimed Freshmen as valuable members and many of the class took part in the operetta. The class has been less active socially since only one party is allowed during the year. This was enjoyed in the form of a picnic late in the school year. With the addition of several new members in the second semester the prospects for a splendid Sophomore class were increased. Miss McGeath and Mr. Leichty sponsored the class. 20 0Q5 o X is 'ij F ' may S3 I N 4 7TH WSTH GRADES .-f ',,l 5, lx?- : ' ' N- x x- ,V Q f 0,31 f N aw- , N A Su a,..-www-ww K -9 'R K, .xg N ,vm 5 ' ' f 'f A L- J KA, - X ' jj.. ,,.,Qnm.., -..,,,fx kv-.M Jae.,-,. .- Q.x-.-1v:..,gf-.isnafaa-1mg.xR '- x L -' - . ye .r ' ,K 'S L -- .Q -uf' 9 I' .

HOLWERDA ATHLETIC I INSTRUCTOR ' 1 '5 HE position of Athletic Instructor which was left vacant by the resignation of B. Blair Gullion last year, was taken by Don V. C Holwerda, who attended West Lafayette High School and was graduated from Purdue with the Class of '23. Coach Holwerda won his experience as a bas- ketball star by playing on his high school five and later being a member of the Purdue varsity for three years, having played the position of floor guard and forward. - ' As an Instructor in Athletics, Coach Holwerda has held positions as a' basketball coach in the Sullivan High School, at a State Normal School in Springfield, Missouri,i and with an Industrial f o o ' League at Jackson, Michigan. With only one regular player, junior Powell, and two reserves from last year's varsity, Ray Kastetter and Franklin DeWald, Coach Holwerda had to refbuild a new team which was mostly composed of Sophomores. Although their opponents won more than half of the scheduled games during the past season, the local live met with tough luck and usually lost their games by only a few points. However, the season was very successful in the fact that it gave valuable experience to the members of next year's team. MILDRED HOAD AND BISHOP 1 STEWART C HEER LEADERS f ITH an inexhaustible supply Q9 of cheer and pep, Milly C Hoad and Red Stewart were always at the games, at home or abroad, leading the students in cheers for the Fightin' Airdalesf' This year the cheers were organized through the veteran Rah! Rah! Coach, Nlilly, who finishes high school this year, after holding that position for three years. During that period the students learned many new yells and have back- ed the team with a lot of pep. The student body thanks Milly for her splendid services. Bishop Stewart, better known to his class-mates as Red, answered the call for an assistant cheer leader last fall and with Milly at every game with plenty of action. We are sure that Red will be out in uniform, leading the students in cheers next season. 9 if -311 7 C8 Cf 'oo :s ms JUNIOR POWELL qcapfainp iiPICKLE,, Pickle proved to be an ideal leader for the Fightin' Airdalesn during the past season and was as capable a back-guard and center as ever represented Hartford High. Powell leaves his school with the honor of being a letter- man of H. C. H. S. for four years, receiving four stripes for basketball. During his school course he also received two stripes for two years of football. Powell was selected as all-sectional back-guard this season at the tournament which was held at Portland. FRANKLIN DEWALD F QQBUSSD Buss, at the positions of running guard and for- ward, was one of the main players of the Old Gold and Black defensive machine. Coming from the South Side High School of Ft. Wayne, in his Sophomore year, he was a member of the second team for two years. He was adept in breaking up the opponent's plays and always con- tributed his share in every game. DeWald graduates with a year of football also to his honor. -i,-X RAYMOND KASTETTER URAY7! Ray, our dependable forward, ably held his posi- tion on the regular varsity and held the scoring honors throughout the season. Although often closely guarded during a game he usually managed to break through the opponent's defense for baskets. This was his second year on the varsity squad. Kastetter, who graduates this year, was a member of the football eleven for two years. 5-fx 'A-fe ',p ii be 1. w s Q x M 41 -,11 WALLACE BROTHERS nVVALLY,, , Wally, who had two years of experience with the second varsity team, became a regular member of the first team this year and made a fine showing for his school at the center and guard berths. He mixed in readily and proved himself valuable in team work as well as in dc- fensive work. During the season he got through for many field markers and foul goals. Brothers is a Senior this year. JESSE KELLY g NJESSED Jesse, who came toxthis school from Montpelier, held the position of center on the varsity five and he always could be depended uponlto get the tip-off. As a defensive man a better one couldunot be found, for he was always breaking up the opponent's plays and getting the ball for the locals' goal. Two weeks before the sectional tourna- ment Kelly met with an ankle injury which kept him out of the district meet. This is Kelly's last year. CLYDE BABBITT uREDu 1 Red, as running guard, was a typical scrapper and his lighting spirit with his ready smile often helped the locals in winning. He was a good goal shooter and many times during the schedule he marked the score tally. He made an especially good showing in the tournament and as a result he was selected as reserve guard on the all- sectional team. Babbitt has another year in varsity togs and great things are expected from him. ' ' -I .JA Qgx, x N B- xi is V' or ROBERT MARCHAL 'iBoBBrE Bobbie, although of diminutive stature, was one of the shining lights of this year's squad. With a dead eye for the basket and rare ability in working the ball down the Hoor this forward saved the locals from many defeats by his remarkable playing. This flashy forward was on the second team last year and held a varsity position during the past season. Marchal will be here for the next two years. Bobbie won the Kiwanis sportsmanship cup. WILLIAM SMITH HBILL77 Bill worked hard at forward throughout the season and whenever called upon by the Coach he always had the fighting spirit and the determination to win. I-Ie played in half the scheduled games and made a showing for a future star. This was his first season in the varsity lineup, having played with the second team last year. Smith was a Sophomore this year. He has been chosen as captain of next year's team. RALPH JAMES QQRED77 Red is the type of basketball player that can fill any position on the hardwood court. Having played on the second team last year, this carrot-topped player was used this season as a regular reserve and was always ready to do his best for his school. The students are glad to know that James will be seen on the gym floor for two more years. 'No 'kr x xvkwxu fx' .. 1 BYRON HUGGINS uBUNNEY,, Bunney came out for the varsity last fall- and after playing a few games with the second team he worked himself up to a reserve position on the first team. He played running guard and forward during the season and proved to be a good man for either position. Huggins is another member of the Sophomore class and with two more years of varsity ball this player should be one of the school's best players. MARVEL GOLDSBERRY u'PENNY,, I Penny was worth more than his nick-name to the team when he was called .upon by the Coach. He played at pivot position and alsolforward on both varsity squads. With the prospects good, for next year's team, we hope to see this player back in uniform as a regular- on the varsity eight. Goldsberry is a Sophomore this year. CLARENCE WILLIAMS K1NK', Kink was another member of the second team last year and advanced himself to a reserve place on the first squad. I-Ie played both first and second varsity ball during the season and had a good basket eye. Williams is a Sophomore this year and probably will be one of the mainstays of next year's team. 1 s -, ' , -, E I , -, ,, -1 - arf ' Q V K in 'Z I 1 , . 3 ..-. i -5. 9 THE AIRDALESU POWELL KELLY BROTHERS HUGGINS KASTETTER DEWALD MARCHAL BABBITT COACH DON V.

The production f,7 was directed by Charles E. Shank, of Fort Wayne, a professional coach of rare ability. It was a roaring success and was pro- claimed the best in years. The play itself was a hilarious comedy in three acts. Mr. Simmons. of Sandusky, is very anxious to marry his daughter, Ethel, to his junior partner, Chet Binney, who is decided woman-shy, tactless, and indifferent about his personal appearance. To make poor Chester attractive to the women CEthel in particularj, Mr. Simmons manufactures a past love aiair for Chet with Letty Lythe, beautiful movie star. lLetty was chosen from a group of pictures bought by Chet, among which had been the queen of Roumania, the Mona Lisa and Julian Eltingej A picture of Letty, with a personal notation reminding her quiet Chester of happy, hectic, Hollywood hours, which falls into the hands of the women, starts the ball rolling. Chester Binney just blossoms forth. A man with a past! He purchases a new suit 1329.753 and becomes al- most a Beau Brummel over night. Ethel immediately falls in love with him, as well as all the other girs in town, and Ethel's engagement is announced. XX ff: .79 , vi -' if 'xf e N: f S' Q f- 0 2' X .I- -Lf 'I 5 .Zo Seo. The plot thickens! Letty Lythe makes a personal appearance in San- dusky! With her is her manager and fiance, Donald Swift, an ex-pugilist. Donald is insanely jealous of his betrothed. He hears about Letty's pseudo love affair and starts out to exterminate Chester. Roger Shields, the suave villain, whom Ethel has brought home with her from Chicago, does what he can to foster the enmity between Chet and Donald. Enter Sadie Bloom, Hlenry's dancing teacher of shady reputation. She has come after the handbag she had left in Henry's taxi and which his suspicious wife had hidden when the taxi driver had delivered it at the house. In his desperation Henry wishes Sadie upon poor Chet who then gets into more difficulties with Ethel. But after a thrilling fight in the dark, following which Chester is seen triumphantly seated on the chandelier while Swift and Shields battle to a bloody finish down below, everything finally works out satisfactorily, and- All's well that ends well. ' C QCurtain.l ,I Charles Geigercannot be too highlly praised for the splendid way in which he portrayed the rather difficult character of Chet Binney,-the un- kempt, woman-shy partner of Henry Simmons. ' Charles lived the part from start to finish and brought many a laugh from the audience. ' The part of Ethel, pretty, independent daughter of Henry and Mrs. Simmons, was exceedingly well portrayed by' Christine McAtee. Betty DeWees gave a splendid interpretation of the part of Henry's slightly shrewish, middle-aged wife. , Ted Hoffman looked and acted the part of elderly Mr. Simmons of the bright ideas in a very satisfactory manner. Franklin DeWald as Roger Shields was the typical oily tongued villain. All he lacked was a black mustache. Charlotte Rapp and Mary Louise Maniian as lisping Lela Wilson and Sally Otis, the volatile iiapper-friends of Ethel, were exceedingly clever little actresses. , I Charlotte Lee Hill was good in the role of Letty Lythe, beautiful and sophisticated star of the silver screen. , Ralph Pogue was the last word as the tempestuous ex-pugilist. He displayed vim, vigor, and vitality in his .interpretation of the part and positively took the house by storm in doing so. .dThelma Miller cut many cute capers as Annie, the volcanic little mai . ' Ab Cox was quite the typical avaricious taxi driver. His part was small but mighty. I' - Beatrice Suite was all that could be desired as Sadie Bloom, the dancing teacher of the Bowery variety. 'Last but not least, Gertrude Sellers was quite efficient as publicity chairman, prompter and general utilities man. James Partlow and Ralph Moore were the husky stage managers. 4' 7 -N E 5 1 w x 5 I Q V 1 f 1' 4 5 . b Q ggo. Junior Class Play .05 HE Juniors presented their class play, Wedding Bells, before a large audience, December 20, 1927. The play was coached by Miss S4 Forest Fosher who proved to be quite a capable coach, and she and the cast are to be complimented on the splendid manner in which the play was presented. The cast was well chosen and each member portrayed his part excep- tionally Well. It was as follows: Reginald Carter, an aristocratic Englishman--J ack McClintic. Fuzisaki, his Japanese servant-Walter Phillips. Jackson, his English valet-Burl Kessler. Spencer Wells, a friend of Reginald-William Diehl. Douglas Ordway, a poet--Kermit Frazee. Marcia Hunter, a pampered heiress-Hattie Williams. Mrs. Hunter, mother of Marcia-Elizabeth Barley. Rosalie, a French girl--Sarah Worley. - Hooper, her English maid-Elizabeth Haynes. 11--1.1. Stage managers-Paul Alexander and Garrett Dee. XX I aff: In - '-, 1:41, in ' N, r K Q 1 Y ll x' DQ g - dr ' 3 ' s , 20 530. The play in itself was quite clever and the audience thoroughly enjoyed itself every moment of it. . A brief sketch of the plot is as follows: On the eve of his marriage to Marcia Hunter, Reginald Carter pleads illness and does not attend his bachelor party, but instead has dinner with Rosalie, his ex-wife, who appears on the scene most unexpectedly. CShe had deserted him because of a lovers' quarrel almost immediately fol- lowing their rather hasty marriage the year before, and since that time her whereabouts had been unknown? Carter really loves Rosalie and would like to re-marry her if it were not for his impending marriage to Marcia Hunter. The plot thickens when Rosalie's presence in the apart- ment is discovered and when Carter's friends-including Marcia-find out that she is the real reason for his not being at his bachelor party. ' Carter is grieving over the fact that his marriage will cost him his trusted valet, Jackson, a bigamist, who refuses to stay if females are to be brought into the apartment. , 1 Next day with plans all completed,L-the bridal party ready, the guests eagerly waiting at the church, the bishop refuses to marry them because he has just learned that Carter is a divorced man. Earlier in the play Douglas Ordway, a poet, has confessed his love for Marcia,-a hopeless love,lhowever,'because he believed himself to be a married man. But he recognizes his supposed wife in the person of Hooper, Rosalie's maid' and learns from her that the marriage was not legal because she had never been divorced from her first husband. So now that Douglas is a free man Marcia in herhdilemma decides to marry him rather than withstand the disgrace of not being married in the church. This leaves Carter free to re- marry Rosalie, and to make the play end quite satisfactorily Hooper, R,osalie's maid, turns out to be Jackson's first wife,--the only one he ever really lovedg and so they all live happily ever after. fCurtain.J :SM A094119 vsvfpfffl Kgmiazeall K llrilli ls al C .D Y'Y . .1 'Lisp g N 5' 'ff , . .g 5113 4.14 , Q fgo.

The well-chosen cast under capable direction presented it in an excellent manner. . The story takes place in Ireland in the year 1778, at Falls Park Manor. The plot itself centers around the financial troubles of Lady Mary Don- nell, of Falls Park Manor. Lady Mary grants lodging to a handsome stranger, who calls himself Terrence O'Moore, a very close friend of the wealthy O'Grady family. He proves to be a very likeable person, and when he learns that the neighbor, Squire Baxby, has induced Mary to sign some kind of document without legal advice, Terrence sends to Dublin for some money with which to help Mary. Just as Felix Murphy, the money-lender, appears and reveals that Baxby has absconded with the interest money and has sold a second mortgage on Falls Park Manor, Terrence places the money in the wishing well from whence .he has seen fairies come. Noreen, Mary's little niece, has been- asking the well fairies for the money and now, when she finds it, is overjoyed. Murphy takes the money and Falls Park Manor is secure. Molly O'Toole tells Mary, who has' begun to love Terrence, that he is the famous O'Grady and that he has come to buy Falls Park Manor for Maurine McGibney. Terrence finally persuades Mary that he has done it only for her, and little Noreen's wish to have Terrence for her uncle comes true. The light and airy plot was welll supplemented by pretty songs and dances and the lighting, the picturesque costumes, and the stage ar- rangements were very pleasing in effect. ry . X. all - 5 P ' - Ly ki m 1 'G g K V rf .fag e The School Nurse f ' HE school has taken one more step forward in the fur- therance of the community spirit. Sponsored by the Parent-Teachers' Association, the Hartford City Schools now boast of a School Nurse. Mrs. Lucile Emerson, School Nurse, is very well qualified to hold. such a position. She was graduated from the Illinois Central Hospital for Nervous and Mental Diseases, at Jack- sonville, Ill. Since then she has been chief nurse in the National Soldiers' Home, Danville, Ill., chief nurse of the Soldiers' Widows' Home, Wilmington, Ill., and has been school nurse at various schools in Illinois, and elsewhere. Much good has been accomplished through her untiring efforts and those of the Parent-Teachers' Association. Mrs. Emerson has examined hundreds of school children at school and at home during the year, administering to: their needs in some cases and recommending medical attention in others. She has stressed the fact that in any illness the family phy- sician should be consulted. Owing partially to this fact, there has been no epidemic of a serious nature among the school children this year. In addition to the regular routine of nurse work, Mrs. Emerson, with the aid of the Parent-Teachers' organization has accomplished much in the way of relief work. Many homes have been visited and scores of families aided by clothes and food. The interest of the mothers of the com- munity has been deep and their response is much appreciated. , ff S , ,nf S. .. x ' A vi X , nj 1 X -, fy' L 1 A , 1 'lc X N ',. -.
