We take ibis opportunity to record a few events that have taken place during these years and to mention a few facts about our classmates who have fallen by the wayside. On September 8, 11)21. twenty-four members enrolled as Freshmen started their high school career at II. T. II. S. Of this number only fourteen have struggled bravely on to the end. Like all other Freshmen classes we were no doubt considered a little green and ignorant when spoken of by upper classmen, but nevertheless we made a brilliant start in this new phase of school life. During this, our first year, Frances Myers served as president and Ida Youngman as secretary and treasurer. Many of our number took part in the operetta, “Princess ('rysanthemum,” which was given by the school early in the spring of ’22. Our class, like all others, had the misforfune of losing several of our number during the first year. Mabel Kuhns was forced to give up h ,r work on account of illness. Lawrence Jones, one of our jolliest members, full of life and fun, was taken suddenly ill and went on to that school where he no longer needs our poor protection, but where ( lirist Himself rules. Our class suffered a great loss from this death of a faithful friend. Mary Alice Thorne preferred a quiet home life with her parents in Tennessee Valley and this ended her high school career. Elmer Thompson finished his work at Paris, Illinois. Mabel Ingram became the wife of Mr. B. II. Price and they are now residing at Cayuga, Indiana. As Sophomores we entered with seventeen in number. We were greatly disappointed when we returned and found two more missing. They were Marie Slaughter and James Wasson. Marie entered the Paris high school and James'continued his work at hrisman, 111. However, we had one new member, Elsworth Montgomery, from Robinson, Illinois. We gave several class parties during our Sophomore year and we began to consider ourselves a necessary part of old II. T. II. S. All of our class remained until the close of the term. At this time Florence Botner, Ida Youngman and Elbert Gosnell left their Alma Mater to take their places in the world. Ida Youngman is now married and with her husband, Mr. Claude Silkwood, resides in St. Bernice. Florence Botner is now Mrs. Elmer Lowery, also of St. Bernice. Elbert Gosnell is engaged in the dairy business. Juniors! We had almost reached the last step on the High School Ladder.” and were still striving upward. Luckily, we had two new members, Naomi Seebren. of East St. Louis and Ruth Arrasmith from Dana, Indiana. Naomi remained with us only a short time and as many others had done, set sail on the sea of matrimony with her husband Mr. Lester Malonv. This year new officers were elected. Frances Myers was again chosen president; Carl Skidmore, vice-president; Bernice Miller, secretary, and Harold Mack, treasurer. Ruth Arrasmith served on the annual staff as artist and Ktliyle Price ns the Class Editor. One of the chief features of this year was the Junior-Senior Reception. For this occasion the Assembly Room was beautifully decorated in artifieial flowers and crepe paper, while the banquet room was decorated in our school colors, old roso and white. This affair is one that will long be remembered by all who were present. We returned in the fall of ‘24 to spend our last year at II. T. II. S. Three more of our number were missing. Ruth Arrasmith became a senior at Cayuga. Indiana, and Bernice Roberts was unable to return on account of illness. Rachel Campbell dropped out and is residing with her parents in Jonestown. Ruby (files from Hillsdale, Indiana, joined us the second semester and now. with fourteen in number we arc closing our High School career, and are looking forward to Commencement with both joy and feelings of sadness. We realize that we cannot go back and live over ;i,gain the happv da vs in our dear Alma Mater. So here’s lo our colors, the Blue and the Gold. May they ever wave high, and never grow old; May we always be faithful, loyal and true. And stand by each other and B. II. S. too.

PROPHECY September 31, 1940. Dear Mrs. Morrison: I have just returned from a delightful trip to tin Indiana State Fair at Indianapolis. I would like to tell of some of the interesting and beautiful sights I saw. but know you would be more interested in hearing about the members of the class of 1925, all of whom I saw or heard of on my trip. When I got oft the train upon my arrival in Indianapolis I heard some one yelling, laxi! “Taxi! I looked around ami there upon the driver’s seat of an elegant taxieab sat Stanley Reed, just as natural. I was delighted to see Son and jumped in the front seat with him. intending to have a chat. I had no chance for in two seconds we were at my hotel. Von know Stanley always was noted for his fast driving. That night I attended a concert given by the famous “Bang! Bang! Band. and whom should I see playing tin drums but Elsworth Montgomery. I was delighted to see my old friend “Alec” and he was delighted to see me. You will no doubt remember “Alee played the drums in our High School Orchestra and will be delighted to hear In has won so much fame. The next morning I gave a casual glance at the waiter who brought my breakfast, and jumped up in astonishment Who do you suppose it was? .John Nolan! 1 wondered how on earth he could ever get such a position. lie seemed happy and contented and confided to me that his tips were sending his sons through college. I took the hint and left a generous bill under my plate. I hat afternoon I attended a lecture on “How to Stuff and Grow Thin,” bv Frances Myers. Frances and I were very glad to see each other. Fpon talking with her later I learned she had never been married, but had devoted the past fifteen years of her life studying methods of reducing. 1 wondered at the great confidence that people had in her methods, for she was far from willowy. She was interested in athletics ami took me to see a boxing match. Imagine if you can our astonishment when a bill handed us at the door announced “Battling ( hie Futon. World’s Famous Heavyweight Boxer.” 1 was delighted to see Charles looking natural, except that In had grown very much heavier. Later I went over to talk with him. He told me lie was touring the world and would fight before all the nobility of Europe. The next afternoon as I was walking through the park I saw a lady with about twenty children following her. I soon recognized her as Ruby Giles. I asked her where on earth she got all the kids and learned she was matron of an Orphans Home and had the children out for a walk. She told me she had just received a letter from Mildred Pearmnn who was now Librarian at Bono. I was certainly glad to hear Bono now had a Library. One day while at the Fair I bought a book entitled, “How to Tie Shoe Strings and saw the author was my old school friend, Harold Mack. PROPHECY—continued While glancing through this book in the hotel lobby I heard my name mentioned. I'pon turning around, 1 found myself gazing directly at ( arl Skidmore in the uniform of a bell hop. Of course we chatted a while. He told me Hubert Brown was in the ice cream business in northern Alaska. Later, as 1 was walking down the street sight seeing, I saw a sign which read: ‘ Reed’s Laundry. Clothes Washed Without Water.” As 1 walked past the establishment I noticed Thelma Reed and asked her how she happened to be there. She told me she was owner and manager ot the place. That evening 1 noticed in the paper something which read like this: ‘ Vocal Lessons, Learn to Sing Whether You Have a Voice or Not. Miss Kthyle price. Director.” 1 decided to go right then and see my old friend and maybe take a few lessons, for I surely needed them. 1 called at the address given. As 1 entered the place. 1 heard someone singing in such a rapturous voice that I was held spellbound. I thought it must have been Caruso come to life. 1 called for Miss Price and was told to come right in. She said she had a great surprise for me. Sin- took me into another room and there was Harold Chisler. How surprised 1 was to meet these two after so many years. Kthyle told me she had studied at home and abroad. I soon learned it was Harold’s melodious voice that I had heard. 1 must say he has improved. I suppose you will want to know by this time what I am doing. Well, I am traveling for the famous “Kiss Co,” demonstrating their “Kiss Proof Lip Stick.” I shall make Paris soon ami will write you from there. Sincerely your friend, BERNICE A. MILLER.

Bono tied the score in the fourth at five all. by knocking Alice from the hox. Then Cayuga foiled ahead and we Tost to them in the twilight. The game ended in their favor, 11 to 7. The next game was played with Cayuga on their diamond. Our boys went up there with a “do or die” expression on their faces, and they came home victorious, having beaten Cayuga 7 to 4. Bono scored three runs before Cayuga scored. Cayuga's hits were scattered, while Bono bunched their hits. Cayuga was forced to use two pitchers. Park had a stonewall infield behind him which coupled with timely swatting was responsible for tin victory. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM Genevieve Ingle, Coach; Kathryn Richard, Alma Martin, Helen Kutch, Emma Cooper, La Vera Ingram, Thelma Reynolds, Mildred Lund wall. Ruby Myers and Louise Dunk ley. TRACK The track spirit of our school is probably at a higher pitch now than ever reached before. Our prospects are the best in years. In the quadrangular track meet held at Montezuma, Friday, April 3rd, our team took about all there was to be taken in track and field events. Bono’s track squad scored 82 out of a possible 144 points. Montezuma, scored only 52. In merit of our good work we were presented with a large pennant, the first II. T. II. S. has ever won “on the track or with the ball..” Our hopes for taking the county meet are built up very high. While we will have stronger competition than in the meet which we have won, we are fully confident our team will meet the situation April 18. The entire squad has the proper spirit and is training in such a way as to be able to show the rest of the county track teams their dust April 18 at Cayuga. APRIZE STORY THE ARK By RUSSELL CHISLER One day some twenty odd years ago as 1 was digging for gold. I discovered an old manuscript, tattered and torn and marked with age. Upon investigation I found it to be a diary written by Noah, himself, describing the trials and troubles encountered while commanding his ship during the flood. He probably lost this while digging for water. The diaty ran thus: I, Noah, in the year of our Lord 1466 B. C. with all my cargo boarded the good ship Ark. which was lying about one-fourth league off the coast of Asia. Although many people thought me crazy, they all came down to the wharf to see Mrs. Noah and me embark. A very good crowd they were too. as they presented me with a gold handled umbrella. JAN. 3. 1416 B. C.—It is now raining. It is coming in very handy though, as we don’t have to water our stock. All of our live stock are on the main ship, except one pair. The skunks are drawn in a small boat far enough behind to insure health and happiness. This boat serves as a guard house for all refractory hands. One siege is always sufficient to make an unruly hand quite docile. JAN. 4—Course, straight ahead. Wind- high. Sea. very calm. Ship’s run—2 leagues. Mrs. Noah complains that the ship is beginning to smell like a barn. I went down and took a bath. It still continues to rain. All the clothes are dirty and no place to dry them. jan. 5—This morning I went below and inspected the condition of our cargo. I found everything in number one condition (except) that some of the animals were crowded. The Shetland ponies and poodle dogs are beginning to need exercise. (The picture writing in the next seven pages is not legible. JAN. 12—Still raining. The mountain resorts are now doing a good business. The thing that puzzles me most is that the almanac promised good weather. Jan. 13—Nothing happened. JAN. 14—Course: Same as yesterday. Wind: calm. Rain: wet. Sea: High and a bit choppy. We played a new game today. I think they called it Mah Jongg. There is an upright post out on the deck with the letters N. E. W. S. on it. On top there is a hand which spins. I played this game this morning with the cook. He always put his money on “N and. by Jove, he always won. As you all know, no one can put it over on me like this. So the next time I played I put my money on “N” and lost every ttime. I found him out. though. He had a horseshoe he held on the letter his money was on. I thought I would get even with him. So I went down below to the stock barns and persuaded the groom to help me pull a shoe off the old mare. I then put my money on S” and held the horseshoe there, but. much to my dissatisfaction, it stopped on ”N” every time. One of the deck hands told me this evening that the post was a compass and the supposed horseshoe was a magnet. JAN. 15—Course: ahead. Wind: dead. Sea: rough. Mrs. Noah is complaining that the dashing waves are taking the marcels out of her hair. I’ll bet she will find fault when the sun shines on the forty-first day. This morning one of the tadpoles jumped overboard and the life savers spent several hours rescuing him. I have beeti worrying ever since we started because I don't believe the chiggers are mates. The camels are affected with a dangerous disease. They haven’t drunk any water for six days. I have a funny pair of birds in my collection. They always insist opon roosting in the top of the clock. About every hour they come out and say Cuck! cool” 'They don’t eat anything. This morning I tempted them with one of our worms but they refused it. JAN. 16—It is still raining unmercifully, never stopping long enough for us to take a few pictures. We are now over Paris. It certainly is a shame we are so near the city and cannot visit it. I am making a number of mistakes in commanding the Ark. But they can be overlooked. This is the first Hood I’ve ever been in. Last night the mice broke loose. They caused a lot of excitement before they were rescued, especially among the women. JAN. 17 The typhoid fever germs are getting very thin. .Mrs. Noah wants me to throw them overboard. But I’m too kind hearted to do such a severe act. This morning I heard a funny noise. I found two long-bilkd birds with voices Just like men. One of them holloed. Hello.” The other said something about a cracker. I’ll have to be careful what I say. They repeat everything they hear. This evening one of them called me Whiskers” and I took him down to the engine room and wrung his neck. JAN. 18—The moth food is getting pretty well gone. Only one more carpet left. This was the day for my egg. Didn’t get it. for it was the old hen's day off. We are now sailing over the Atlantic Cable. Had to raise the rudder. In direct line of ocean steamers. Must speed up. I'm not particular about getting wrecked. Our potato bugs have marvelous appetites. They made way with all our spuds. JAN. 31—One of our bulldogs buried his bone in the coal bin this morning. He wouldn't let the fireman have any coal. Had to go down and chase him away or the ark would have stopped. I'm going to move the book worms to Mrs. Noah's cook book. Ought to find something they like in there. JAN. 32—Course: Some as yesterday. Sea: smoother. Wind: higher. Ship’s run: four leagues. We celebrated mine and Mrs. Noah's sixth golden anniversity last night. We danced by the song of the crickets. I made several mistakes. Hadn't danced for 300 years. The cook bothers me. She wants the feathers off the bird of paradise when they die. Ham played me a dirty trick this morning. He came up and said I was wanted on the ‘phone. Got half-way down and fell the rest of the way. JAN. 40—Last night when I went down to give the apple worms an apple I found the second mate fishing in the gold fish bowl. Just received a wireless saying. Do your Christmas shopping early.” We are now across the equator, judging from the heat. We don’t mind, simply turn on the electric fans. Two deck hands just had a fight. It was to see who’d feed the microbes. One slew the other with a sling shot. Reminds me of the time David slew the giant. Our appetites are good. The pigs nearly starve. The giraffe has a cold. We used 150 pounds of meat and 50 yards of muslin to make a poultice for his neck. Food supply is low. JAN. 41—Day for my trial. Charge: Cruelty to animals. I knocked the stuffing out of a teddy bear and tried to take the spots off the leopard with a curry comb. Also, mixing sawdust with the bran I fed the chickens. Judge pronounced me not guilty. Reason—too young to be so cruel. I'm only 500 years old. He said if I was convicted it would be a blot on history. Best animal keeper ever known. Great problem now—the disposal of the rusty relic, the ark. Maybe I can sell it to a museum. The crane has a bad leg. Has to stand on one foot for hours at a time. By Jove. I’m going to study up on animals before the next flood. JAN. 42—Today I gave the elephants an extra peanut apiece. Now they’re sick. Hard to keep the files off the fly-paper. Don’t mind my two pets but I hatd their children. JAN. 43—12 o’clock. Stopped raining. Sun is shining. Our radio is out of commission. So we let the women hang clothes on the aerial We men went down and curried the rust off the animals. Let the microbes out to play on the deck, now we can’t get them back in their cages. JAN. 47—Gosh, my toe hurts. The male elephant stepped on It this morning. The alligators are getting lonesome. Had Ham to paint them a swamp scene. I have a bad tooth. Haven’t nerve enough to pull it. Fastened a string on it and tied the string to the door knob. Sat down in a chair to wait and there I sat for two hours. No one came in. When I went outside I noticed a sign on the door. It ran: No Admittance.” Hog license expires today. I'm going to be rich some day. Made a bet with Ham on a turtle-rabbit race. I saw in the Bono Breeze where a turtle won a race. JAN. 4 —Getting pretty cold. Busy hot-water bottling the tropical animals. JAN. 46—The animals which aren't in the engine room are on the stove in kettles of hot water. The bears are so delighted over the weather that they really smile. Used all the hot water, so I didn’t get my bath. JAN. 47—Getting warmer. Hot water brigade has stopped. Saw a big mountain ahead so we landed. I’m tired of this life, guess I'll retire and go into business. The animals smell the green grass. If we ever have another Mood I'll know what to do. Must go whistle for the pilot. (Signed) NOAH. XI A PRIZE STORY OUT OF THE AIR When J. B. wrote that he was sending another young friend out for the summer, a muffled groan went up from every man on the home range. 'Them two young question marks we had last year almost mint my disposition,’ said Shorty in the bunk-house that night. “We can’t slap ’em into a saddle and let ’em rough it. Got to act polite and hold in our tempers when they violate all the written laws in cowland.” Tut! Tut!” sai l Red, as he drew off his boots. Red was different from the rest of the cowboys, although he could ride, rope and shoot with the best ot them. Red told the cowboys the next morning before he left to go to meet the stranger at Laramie that he would tell the boy to come to him. to ask his questions and to leave the rest of the men severerly alone. This pleased the rest of the men very much. None of them was at home when Red returned with the stranger. Ah Sin. the cook, had said that the young man had brought along “whole lot boxes and thunks” and the boys groaned again. “Wild west costumes, fancy saddles, shootin’ irons and such,” said Shorty. “Prepare for a shock or a good lai gh at supper time.” The guest appeared at mealtime, a boy of eighteen, rather shy and reserved. Ilis name was John Wilkins. It surprised them all when Red announced that he and John would occupy the big upstairs room of the ranch house. John didn’t seem, much interested in the ranch but spent much of his time in his room, and immediately after supper he and Red would both disappear upstairs. A few days after the arrival of John they were all sitting on the cook-house veranda, waiting for supper when the foreman remarked, “Must have had a blaze over in the forest reserve. Been a blue haze hanging around all day. “Worse in years,” said Red. “Caught from camper’s fire on the west edge. Had a hundred men fighting it for three days. Sent to Laramie for help—” He checked himself with a gasp. “Seen somebody from over that way!” asked Curly. “Our phone wire’s still down.” Red got up and sauntered into the house as though he had not heard. Shorty and Curly glanced at each other with puzzled expressions. However, the mail on Saturday brought newspapers containing accounts of the big tire in the forest reserve. On Monday at dinner time, Curly remarked, “Wonder what s the market on beef steers, today?” “Nine sixty-two,” replied John absently, then bit his lip in confusion. When they received the stock yard reports the next week they quoted the exact amount of that day. Curly remarked, “I tell you there’s something queer about that boy. 1 bet lie's one o' them mind readers or—” “Nonsense,” said the foreman. “But I wonder what he and Bed do in that upstairs room every evening? “I asked Ah Sin once, ’ Curly confessed, “and lie just grinned and said, ‘Mr. John reads books and works on machine'—typewriter, I reckon.” A dry spell set in about this time, and they were kept busy shifting the herds to fresh pasture and looking after waterholes. The predicted rains failed to arrive. One blistering day as the foreman was helping drive some cattle across the south range, he happened to glance toward the ranch house. A white cloth fluttered from the signal pole. He yelled at the boys and they started for home at a break-neck pace. This signal meant for all hands to drop work immediately and ride for home. When they dashed up to the house, John with the help of Ah Sin was carrying boxes and suitcases to the storage cave near the kitchen. He paused long enough to shout excitedly, A tornado is coming! It has gone through the forest reserve and is headed this way!” The men looked at the sky. There was a black heap of clouds at the horizon which was advancing rapidly. A few minutes later the whole western horizon was one big greenish-black bank with a little inky, funnel-shaped cloud dancing along before it. At times the funnel swept down to the ground; again it leaped, whirling high in the heavens. They all entered the cave ami Red closed and bolted the heavy doors as the first gust of wind went shrieking past. At last it had passed, leaving behind it destruction. The cowboys ventured out. The stables, shed and corrals had disappeared. But the ranch dwelling was unharmed. “How did you know the storm was coinin’?” asked Curly of John. “The ranger in tin forest reserves told me by wireless,” replied John. “He barely had time to eall me before his station was wrecked.” “Wireless!” gasped Shorty. “D’ye mean to say you’ve got one o’ them wireless telegraphs?” “Telegraph!” cried Red scornfully. “John’s got an up-to-date radio outfit you can talk and hear over.” It seems that J. B. had become interested in the radio and had sent John out to experiment with a portable broadcasting machine and a loop aerial. One of the young rangers in the forest reserve had purchased a small radio outfit and the two boys had been in communication all summer. Red explained that they had gone upstairs of an evening to hear concerts and hear speeehes. “Hev!” shouted Curly. “Let's tote them boxes back and set up that machine. Mebbo we can catch J. B. in the air somewhere and tell him what a fine guest he sent us and what fools we’ve been.” —1XKZ AIRMAN. Music The music work in H. T. II. S. has progressed rapidly and enthusiastically. Much praise is due each member of the different groups for his diligent and faithful work and to our talented instructor, Miss Ingle. She believes that all talent among students should be developed and works diligently to accomplish the same. The orchestra took up its work last fall from the same book which was used last year and has also completed the advanced book. There have been two periods each week for practice. The individual members will continue practice throughout the summer and lie ready for further progress next year. Tin personnnel of the orchestra is as follows: Genevieve Harper. Obligato Violin; Katherine Hess, Solo Violin; Harold Richard, Second Violin; Helen James, Second Violin; James Elder. Second Violin; Leo Aik man, Second Violin; Catherine Kerns. Cello; Elsworth Montgomery .Drums; Cleo Ferguson, Piano. The Male Quartet has learned many songs and sung on many different occasions. Milo llcskett, who was second base, has moved from the community and his place for the remainder of the year was taken by Joe Ilarsha. The members of tin quartet are: Charles Eaton, first tenor; Byron Nolan, second tenor; Stanley Reed, first bass; Joe Ilarsha, second base. A chorus of mixed voices has learned many classical selections written by famous musicians. The Freshman and Sophomore classes are combined to forma “Theory of Music class. There is much musical talent in the school and in the community and arrangements will be made to develope it even more next year.
