And though she'll be surrounded by all that life lends, We know she will always think us her best friends. 49 ISA BULLOCK Here is Isa, a Princess famous in song, She has written us poems, and around them shall throng lnnumerable memories of high school days When we read the Aurora Katonka we praise, For the malce-up was faithful, the character true, And a wreath of bright laurel is no more than her due, EMMA GRUEL Emma is graceful, quiet and tall, An occasional lark does not make her grades fall. She came from the country, a fresh blooming lass, She enjoys all the fun that belongs to our class. She has done her part nobly through four years of school, Her record is clear and her temper is cool. 40 HERBERT HARTNUP Here the Valedictorian now you behold, For one of his size, he is really quite old. Cf late, he has shown a desire to be great By giving orations that malce us dilate. His report cards contain high grades galore, His average for four years exceeds ninety-four. 0 ALICE LARSON Do you hear that girl laughing with hearty good will? For twelve years she has laughed and laughed louder still She is packed full of mischief from eyebrows to toes, And is famous for parties as every one knows. We shall never forget her and all of her fun, And shall always call Alice a favorite one. 2 .i' Rose came from Crowm Point on the flrst day of school Determmed to study accordmg to rule She has won many fnends rn our last school year And the fnendshlps thus formed we shall ever hold dear Rose IS a prophetess wxse as can be And our future IS written ln her prophecy CARL LENNERTZ Here s Carl the great orator noted and wrse In two contests he won for us the hrst prize And famous agarn as Miles Standish was he For hrs actlng as Captain hlled us wxth glee Of hxm all hrs classmates now feel duly proud And we ll slng to hlm praises rn vorces most loud 0 ELMAIDA JOHNSTON A favonte of all for her sweetness and grace ls Elmalda the girl with a brlght wmmng face A wnter she rs and most slulled wlth her pen We are hlled with deslre to hear her agam The beautlful song rs the beautrful voxce That s Elmarda Pnscllla whatever your cholce 4 C Z XX l - I Q W Q l l ll gl..u..!

Faithful to school worlr and faithful to friends, She loves the child heart and the joy that it lends. Fond of typewriting, English, science, all three, But now school is over she is glad to be tree. 6 A PAUL BRUEBACH A popular youth, and the reason is plain, Have you seen those brown eyes? Does not that explain? ln Physics he's noted because of the skill Displayed in his drawings. The Pequot would kill Captain Standish. He seldom is caught taking naps, Though the evening before he's been playing the traps. .9 CORA DEMMON This is Cora, a witty and sweet little lass, She has done some good work in arithmetic class Wherever is Cora, a laugh's sure to he, For she's jolly, and clever, and pleasant to see. She came here a stranger a short time ago, She is one of us now and shall always be so. Liles, f-,II e, gg J For her smile and her sweetness will win every one Of the boys and the girls who near her shall come. She is also an orator most gifted in speech, And this silvery voice will assist her to teach.

As Erasmus he regained the favor he lost When in the debate he deserted his post. 40 MATILDA l-IARMS Matilda, the East Gary girl, now you see, Accustomed to riding to high school, is she. A lawyer could never have shown greater skill, Than did she, when she drew up the Senior Cl Conscientious, faithful, and true to her work, Unknown in mischief and unknown to shirk. BSS W Ll EDNA BORGER Here's the class artist, most skillful in Art, Her drawings will always go straight to the heart. She is fond of a certain new popular song, And she sings it at intervals all the day long. She is always found happy and hrimfull of fun: Should you ask, Who likes Edna? Why, everyone. 2 FRED WEAVER Did you hear that clear voice to a high tenor toned When, as john Alden, his fate he bemoaned ? How many Priscillas might welcome that voice And prompt a proposal, if they had the choice! Why, that was Fred Weaver, the pride of our clan, He possesses the virtues that measure the man. 6 ALVINA KRAUSSE Alvina has made herself famous in plays, When there is work to be done she will brook no delays ' She's a girl of strength, both in hand and in mind She is faithful and steady and true.

Graduation. What does it mean? It means that we have successfully completed four years of High School training. 'With this course of Work we are enabled to enter any school of higher education, without further examination, or, if we ta-ke up life's Work We are equipped With these qualities and accom- plislnnents which may be turned to account in the Winning of success. lVe rejoice to be a.ble to stand here. Although many tasks have been placed before us, We have conquered. Vile have overcome all 18 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL difficulties. To-day we stand on the threshold ready to enter the new world. Agai11 on looking back over our school life, our glad days dispel all our misgivings. Look at the rewa.rd, the opportunities, the possibilities. Great are the advantages that are afforded in this, our free country. Let us be thankful for the national policy and the connnunity spirit that has afforded ns this encouragement and provided these facilities. 2 4 The word commencement does not mean that we are finishing a certain work, but rather, it means that we are beginning a new work. The world we are entering will be different. It will be a change from our usual course. The time is now at hand when it is necessary for us to part, but the ties of friendship we have formed as a class we defy either time or circumstance to sever. Now our duties are individual, heretofore they were somewhat collective as a body, but we are pre- pared and let us face life boldly. Probably some of us will enter a higher school of training, others will take up life's work. 1Vhatever the course, we pursue it as the duty of ea.ch of us to accomplish some- thing which will be a credit to us and to our school. God demands that we do our best. So may each one looking forward through the years, labor ever onward, unharmed by doubts and fears. And no matter what our work, may we thoughtfully hold steadfast to the ideal of King Arthur and his knights: Reverence the king, as if he were our conscience, And our conscience as our king. To break the heathen and uphold the Christ, To ride abroad redressing human wrong, To speak no slander, no, nor listen to it, To honor our own word as if God's, To lead sweet lives in purest chastityf' Soon we will have passed over the threshhold which lies between our school life and our world life. But in all cases remember the motto which we as a class have adopted, lVer fest auf S9i116 Sinne beharrt der bildet die 1Velt sich. He who holds firmly to his purpose fash- ions the world as he will. Again friends let me, in the name of the class of 1911, welcome you to this, our connnenceinent. CARL LENNERTZ. AURORA EDITORIAL STAFF fx, f! 1 S fi ?

Call to mdnd a day forgotten, When the classes reassembled, Gathered in the new school building, For the selection of their studies, For a greeting to our classmates, For a meeting with our teachers. Forth we came from out the village, Forth we came with smiles of gladness, Glad the time had come for study: Tired of the long hot summer, Wearied by our long vacation, Longing for our books and pencils, For our short and much chewed pencils, For the lawn we must not walk on, For the lawn with corners barren, Corners where the children running, Lest for school they should be tardy, Trampled in their desperate hurry. What surprise was waiting for us, This first school day we were Seniors: What a great and glad commotion As the students thronged the campus! How we gazed in wonder 'round us, Wonder at the sight before us! There, erected through the summer, Stood a beautiful, new building, And we made great haste to enter, Haste to make an exploration. Now we saw our task before us, Now began our diiliculty. Up we climbed o'er piles of timber, Waded through a box of mortar, Then descended on a sand pile,- Wund ourselves a little closer, And our courage grew much stronger, And our faces grew much brighter. On we went-and ever onward Till at length we reached the entrance, Reached the place we so much longed for, Whereupon again we lingered, Lingered there and gazed around us, Saw the greatest of confusion, Saw the men with tools most wondrous, Saw them hastening through the building, Saw them working at the stairway: Saw them in the laboratory, Where with fire and lead and wrenches They were fitting pipes and soapstone, Making laboratory tables. Then we sought the new gymnasium, Built for winter games and pastime. There a vision rose before us, Of a team victorious ever, Of a winning basket ball team, That should break all former records, That should noted be in strange lands. There confusion, sawing, pounding, Men in laughter, men in anger, Merry men, were toiling, singing, Everywhere they held possession. Back we started on our journey, For there was no stairway leading, From the lower to the upper, From the upper to the lower, And the way that we must travel, Thus to reach the upper regions, Was a long and winding pathway, Over boxes, boards and barrels, Over cinders, sand and gravel, Over radiators, boxes, Over all things to be thought of. So that when the room for Seniors Once was reached, we, tired and weary, Vowed to stay there constant ever To our tolls, and tasks, and duties 'Till our school should be completed. Oh, the weary days that followed, Days of noise and great disturbance. Never shall the class forget them. When we made a recitation, It was made in tiny sections For the hammering and the shouting Constantly would interrupt us. One would start upon a sentence, 22 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL With his voice in moderation,- Louder then, would grow the pounding Louder would grow his tone in volume. Then a man's voice from the air shaft, From the air shaft they were building, Would come forth ln tones of laughter And they multiplied the hubbub. Still we pressed our recitation, Now we smiled and now impatient Canto II. At the noise so long continued. When at last in desperation We had trained our mighty voices, 'Till they overcame confusion. Summer ded, and autumn's breezes, Though most balmy in the woodlands, And most pleasant on the roadways, Chilled us in our damp new building, White walled, damp, unheated school rooms. Forth we went with wraps, to classes, Shivered, shook and wrapped up closer, And when called upon, recited With our teeth forever chattering, And our Now the And the And the Laughed, voices very muffled. noise became less frequent, chill less penetrating, students, hopeful, happy, rejoicing in the quiet, In the peace that now reigned o'er us. Harken, Class of Nineteen Eleven! List, ye Seniors, high and mighty! Let us sing events more recent, Days of sunshine, days of pleasure, Days of triumph and rejoicing, For our tasks are well-nigh finished. Many days we've worked together, Many moons have shown upon us Since the building was completed. Now we have our recitations Undisturbed and peaceful ever: Quiet reigns within the library Where we write these rhymeless poems, Where we edit our Aurora, Our auditorium inviting, Spacious, beckoning to music, Helps us lift our tuneful voices, Singing songs unto the Forest , Singing songs of Captain Standish And the Puritan Priscilla, Opera that shall be famous For it shall be long remembered. On the stage erected for us Orators have rolled their thunder, Scene of comedy half tragic Both in winter and in springtime. Empty now is our gymnasium, But its days' are not forgotten: We have had our basket ball games, Had our team. victorious ever, Had our girls' team and our boys' team, Who have noted been in strange lands. Soon we'll leave the laboratory, Whence the odors floating upward Greet the Juniors, Sophs, and Freshmen, Leave the class rooms, leave the campus, Leave the cool, sweet, bubbling fountains Where we pause between the classes, Leave the echoing auditorium, Leave this wealth to our successors. Now our year is nearly ended, Now our happy days are passing, Days of triumph, days of rapture, Are becoming few and fewer. This last year of high school study In our newly ilnished building Has been joyous beyond measure. Many years we've worked together, Every year still more progressing, Under guidance of our teachers. Much we thank them for their labor, For their part in our advancement: More than all, our superintendent, Who has ever been our leader, Who has faithful been and steadfastg Ever just in choosing for us, Settling things beyond our judgment, For his part in all our school life Gratitude, sincere and lasting, Now the Class of Nineteen Eleven Extend to our friend and teacher. Forth departing on our journey, On our journey never ending, We shall soon be fairly started On the world's great shining pathway. Hand in hand, in peace we've traveled. Now our tasks must be divided, But though miles are placed between us, And though far in life we wander, We shall ne'er forget each other We shall love the memory ever Of the days we spent together. ISA BULLOCK. AUDITORIUM 241 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL LITERATURE. gl, ITERATURE has ever been the spice of high school life, the oasis in the desert, and we, the weary desert travelers, were ever glad when the English period arrived. l5,,.:'lL'H Wlien we entered the high school in 1907, and began our r study of literature in an entirely different way than that to which we had been accustomed, Miss Qninnell was the leader. Patiently she toiled with us, and eagerly we aspired for a better under- standing of the classics. Miss Qninnell had been our teacher the year previous and we felt perfectly free to express our opinions in her classes. How many mistakes she overlooked! How many desires to laugh at our interpretations she must have smothered. Nevertheless, we progressed steadily, if slowly, and each day gained more courage, we soon began to produce classics HJ ourselves. The Vision of Sir Launfal was carefully studied first. New beauties began to arise from this poem-beauties we never imagined existed when we read it formerly. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, afforded deep thought, and some amusement. The class seemed to favor two of the stanzas very decidedly. VVe were then introduced to Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice. This was very pleasing especially as it was in the spring and our hearts were in tune with the play. VVe then read Ivanhoe, Sir Roger de Coverley Papers, and the 'tPrincess. Several of the girls had serious intentions of trying the idea of such a colony as the Princess ruled. This, however, did not result seriously. Wlieii we began our Sophomore year, we felt more confident of suc- cess than at the beginning of the preceding year. Under Miss Quin- nell 's guidance we once more were launched upon the literary lield. Wie began the study of Milton's Minor Poems, with great an- ticipation. Through all of our school days, we had heard of Milton and had always considered his works far beyond our comprehension. Vlfhen we discovered that we had acquired the ability to interpret and com, prehend the deep thought expressed in his works, we felt that we had indeed gained a great step. During this year, we also began debating. Our debates were rather crude and unparliamentary, but having won the debate we felt the same pride that the statesman feels when he has accomplished the purpose of his plea before congress. Besides our written work we read, Shakespeare's Macbeth, Scott's Lady of the Lake, Eliot's Silas Marner, and several es- says. This year marked the end of our written work. VVe left rhetoric for the coming Sophomores to struggle with, and began our Junior year, with the study of our own poets and authors. xt HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 25 lVith Mr. Tl1o1npson as our teacher we progressed rapidly in Bronson's American Literature. Twice a week We studied classics in addition, to the history of Literature. YVe read HI-Ienry VIIIQ' Dick- ens' Tale of Two Cities, and HaWthorne's, t'House of Seven Gables. Our annual orations were Written in the spring. VVe realize that We are not destined to be orators, though one member of the class has shown great ability in that line of Work. Carl Lennertz has repre- sented us for two successive years at Hammond and we are certainly very proud of his Work. ' This year of our school life We have studied under the direction of Mr. Thompson. Our Work has been seasoned by reading short selections from each of the English authors as we have studied them. Mr. Thomp- son has also read selections to us that he had noticed outside of our prose and poetry books. This has added a great deal to the interest of the class and We all are very grateful to Mr. Thompson for giving us this opportunity to get acquainted with the authors and poets. Our work is nearly completed now and although We are really anxious to go out into the world and learn what is in store for us, we feel a pang of sorrow when we remember that We are leaving high school life with all its joys, forever. Our school life has been very pleasant and We cannot thank our teachers, for their part in it, too often nor too sincerely. VVe shall never forget any of our classes and the pleasure we derived from them, but more than all others Will our four years of literature, stand out as a pleasant memory.

Our l4f':f f?' first science Botany was re uired. I Jresume the ob'ect in I sip, D . , . , q 1 J x ,im this is to place the Freshmen in their proper environment,- ainong the green things of nature. Wle took it up with various feelings of awe, dread and curiosity, but under the kind instructions of our Botany teacher, Miss Quinnell, we soon became very enthusiastic over the subject and kept the class well supplied with specimens. The boys often ate the specimens. Skunk cabbage was their chief delight, but they reached the climax on Indian turnip. ' As all great people leave foot-prints on the sands of time, ours can be found in the old cabinet, in the form of plates of pressed flowers. But on the whole we gained a useful 'knowledge of our first science, and at the end of the year we were proud to be called green for Botany had taught us that all green things are growing. Science was laid aside during our Sophomore year and during the Junior year only one of our number stepped from the bounds to take Physics. But he has not returned to tell the story. The rest of ns stood in awe of the appliances of the Physics Class and waited until the time should come when we could burn I-120. In the fall of 1910, we returned as Seniors, and when the roll of the Physics Class was called seven of our number responded. The rest of the high and mighty class, ten in all, and all girls, were found standing at the portals of Chemistry. Of all classes this certainly was THE GLASS fprivate opinion publicly expressedj. lVe labored patiently over the diiiierent elements, molecules, atoms and laws and when our laboratory was completed we took, up that work readily. 28 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL As a class that has been first in everything during our high school career, We have added another distinction to our list, that of being the first class to have the advantages of the new up-to-date, sanitary laboratory. Vile are proud of these improvements and thank the school oiiicials who have made this possible, for few schools of this size can boast of so fine an equipment. Each Chemistry student deposited fifty cents, and then was sup- plied with a key to a locker in which is kept the apparatus. As yet We have no broken articles against our account so We expect to receive our money back fwith interestj. Our Chemistry teacher, Mr. Zaugg, We thank for his patience with us through all our faults and failings. Our sincere hope is that all future science classes will have the advantage We have had and that this advantage may be improved and that they may have the pleasure of looking back to a year as profitably spent as has been the year 1910-11 to the students of the H.

HE mediaeval Latin term universitas was originally employed to denote any community or corporation regarded under its collective aspect. In the course of time, probably during the latter part of the fourteenth century, the term began to be used by itself with the exclusive meaning of a community of teachers and scholars whose corporate existence had been recognized and sanctioned by civil or ecclesiastical authority or by both. But we are now able to see the great a.dvance1nent of the universities, first, by the introduction of new subjects of study, second by the adoption of new methods of instruction, and third, the growing tendency towa.rd organ- ization which accompanied the development and consolidation ofthe European nationalities. In the United States education has received great extension, with- out however exercising in Europe that reflex induenee discernible in so many relations. Vile find there are four classes of colleges, first, those which proceed from the original historic colleges, second, those established in the name of the state, third, those avowed by ecclesiastical societies and fourth, those founded by private benefaetions. Among these four different kinds of institutions of learning every high school graduate should choose a course to pursue. VVe shall now glance at Indiana University, which is situated at Bloomington, Indiana, the county seat of' Monroe County. The first site of the University adjoined the city on the south and lay in Perry town- ship, the township granted by Congress in 1816 for Seminary purposes. But in 1833 a great fire destroyed the buildings and this was a turning 30 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL point in the history of the institution. It was then decided to remove the University to a more ample site, away from the noise and disturb- ance of the railroad which joined it on the west. They then purchased a tract known as Dunn's woods, east of the city, facing what is now Indiana Avenue on the west and Third street on the south. Including later purchases, the University grounds now have an ex- tent of about seventy acres of both rolling and level nature. It con- sists of a general athletic field, hockey grounds, tennis courts and the most beautiful and picturesque natural campus in the world. Adding to the beauty of this Campus we have the high stone structures placed about in a horse-shoe formation. The Library Build- ing, which was completed in 1908 occupies the site at the main entrance of the campus, then we have the Student Building, the home of student activities, then comes Maxwell Hall which is occupied by the adminis- trative offices and School of Law, Owens Hall is next, then Wyflie Hall which is used by the departments of Chemistry, Mathematics and Pa- thology. Kirkwood Hall is the next building to the south, then Science Hall, completed in 1902, and west of Science Hall we have the Biological Building, completed in the year 1910. Besides these buildings we have Kirkwood Observatory, Mitchell Hall, the Men's Gymnasium and east of this the power house. Though this is a brief description of the beauty and grandeur of Indiana University it ought to encourage every high school graduate to push forward and complete his education. Every mother and father ought to urge their boys and girls to become a college graduate, for they would then be better able to go out into the world and solve the worldly problems. Let us seek to make education in this land of ours stand out as a beacon light to all peoples and nations. Think of college life not as merely a drudgery but as work and pleasure combined and think of the noble accomplishments of the men preceding us and let us seek to do as well. Upon these grounds let us urge all Hobart Township High School graduates to continue their education in some university and they can rest assured that in after life the sweetest music to their ears will be the old college song of their Alma Mater, and they will be thrilled with the same spirit that fills every student of Indiana with rapture when he hears,-- Gloriana, Frangipana, E'er to her be true, She's the pride of Indiana, Hail to old I.

Dear Class of 1911 and Friends: It gives me great pleasure to learn that this yearts class is going to keep up the custom of issuing a high school annual. Tl1e three pre- ceding volumes were very successful, and I am sure that this yea1 s Aurora will be a great success. Although our classmates are scat- tered and many changes and improvements have been made in the high school since the class of '07 has gone out, we are still very much inter- ested in all that concerns H. T. H. S. I want to tell all of you that may ever have a chance to go to col- lege to be sure to take it. Besides the knowledge and culture that you will gain there, you will make many life-long friends, and there will be many happy times which you will be glad to remember years afterward. The gay, irresponsible college life is one that can be found nowhere else. Of course, I think De Pauw is the best school there is, but every college has its own customs and traditions which its students hold dear. One of the biggest days of the year for the girls here is the May Day celebra- tion which is to take place in a few weeks. All the girls in school take part in it, some wind the May Pole, others take part in the drills and folk dances, and in the evening the girls give a play on the campus. The other great event of the college year is Old Gold Day, which is given over to athletics, contests, including the class scrap, with a big celebra- tion in the evening. Then there are the parties and stunts of various kinds which are continually taking place to relieve the pressure of work. All in all, college is a pretty good place to be. ETHEL FRANK, 'oz Ft. Sumner, New Mexico, April 25, 1911. Class of 1911 and Friends: One Easterner says of New Mexico, More creeks and less water, more cows and less butter, see farther and see less, than in any other place in the world. Ft. Sumner is named in honor of the old Ft. Sumner situated here years ago for protection against the Indians and has the advantage of many other towns in the west in that the valley can be and is ir- rigated. Even though we enjoy forming new acquaintances and having new experiences away from home we always find pleasure in the reminis- cences of old friends and associates of the Hobart Township High School. LEA SCHOLLER, Class '07, THE STAGE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 33 MORRIS. HERE was the apple, Miss Benton was saying. Such a nice big one, she was interrupted. Qi.: ,ll But Morris, don't you know that I would not have en- pbl ll OE - . f f . 'im-.lgf.:.1l'l oyed the a J le had I known it was stolen? .L-.Sai J . I P 7 N o answer. And the eraser. . So soft and pretty, Morris once more took up a defence. But it was very, very wrong and today it was Michael 's knife. Miss Benton pitied Morris, pitied him more each time temptation conquered him. She k11ew of the life struggles that had been his. I-Ie was a bright active boy, but a brilliant career was blighted by one dominating characteristic of his nature. He would continually take things that were not l1is. A child born to poverty, clad poorly, with no home infiuence, what chance was there for him in the big busy world? Miss Benton looked at him earnestly for a moment. How pitifully small he was, in a mercilessly large world! Don't you know, Morris, how ba.dly I feel when you do wrong? Don't you know that the criminals all started by doing small wrongs? I have tried, you many times, and each time you have failed. Now I shall have to punish you. Hereafter, do not come to walk home with me. Closely she watched his face as the full import of her words was comprehended. Daily he met her at the school house and walked home with her, confiding all his childish joys and sorrows. To the boy who had never received kindness at any other hands, this privilege meant much. He lifted his sorrowful little face slowly. Can't I ever come again? he murmured. Immediately Miss Benton was repentant, feeling that perhaps she was unjust. Morris,'l she said, I will try you once more. If, after four weeks you can tell me truthfully that you have not stolen anything, I will release you from punishment. Until then, I will walk alone. 'Do not ask to accompany me. Now you may go. NVretchedly, the little fellow moved toward the door. H Good night, dear. The impulse to call him back was almost irresistible. But no! She would not undo her work! She was determined to win. And then the struggle began. How often temptation was resisted during the following weeks! It was a hard battle and Morris fought it like a. little soldier. Miss Benton watched him closely during -, I -I I I 341 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL those days. Each day still resolute in her purpose, she turned from the pleading eyes. Three weeks passed-long, hard weeks, never to be for- gotten and now the battle nearly over. Morris, walking to school on the first morning of the last week, was supremely happy. Next Friday, next Friday, his hea1't was singing, and his footsteps were lighter. And then came the fall. Irresistible temptation took the form of an Angora kitten. For a moment Morris fought desperately and then gathering the cat in his arms he ran home, imprisoned it, and retraced his steps toward school. His heart no longer sang, and his steps were slower. Miss Benton noticed a change, but did not suspect the truth. Tuesday-VVednesday-Thursday passed and his secret was still hidden. Thursday night was a sleepless one for Morris. He was glad to awaken from his dreams of kittens, punishments and criminals, when he did sleep. However, he decided what course to follow. He arose at the first dawn of day, dressed quickly, and gathering the precious tempter i11to his arms, he slipped noiselessly out. Quickly he ran along the quiet street, only stopping when he reached the home of the owner of the kitten. A window was partly raised, and thrusting the kitten hastily through the opening, he sped homeward. Now the way was clear. Miss Benton would never know about the kitten and he would walk home with her that evening-and-and-a thousa.nd pleasures were pictured in that. When he reached school that morning Miss Benton greeted him with a cheery, Good morning. Then something in the wistful little face caused her to gather him in her arms, caressing him tenderly. It was that which shattered all of Morris' pla.ns. He went to his seat-dazed. He was fighting another battle-the hardest one of all. How could he deceive her when she had been so tender and sweet? All the morning Morris sat with his face buried in his arms. Tlms he fought and when recess came, he marched up to the desk as the bravest of heroes marches into battle. Teacher, I did steal, I took it back, and I wasn't ever going to tell you, only this morning you-you-I' Encouraging him in her sweet winning way, gradually Miss Ben- ton learned the whole story. I am very sorry, was all she said. ' Sorrowfully Morris returned to his seat where he remained in utter dejection for the rest of the day. 1 Miss Benton conducted her classes as usual, apparently indifferent to the utter misery she had inflicted upon Morris. The long afternoon gradually came to a close and the last weary hour ticked itself away. The bell rang for dismissal, and Morris, ra.ising his sorrowful little face HIGH SCHUOL ANNUAL 35 prepared to leave. Persistently he studied his cap, not daring to meet Miss Benton's eyes. s Suddenly- Morris,I' He heard the dear voice say, you may come to Walk home with me at four. It seemed li-ke a sweet dream- Morris could not believe that he heard correctly, but meeting the smil- ing eyes of Miss Benton he was assured. ' 'But teacher, I, he began. 'CI said you may come for me at fou1',', she repeated. Then turning quickly to the class, First row, stand. ISA BULLOCK. THE CORRIDOB, LOOKING INTO THE LIBRARY 36' HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL EV- i .171 V 9 ,Ax 1 I ITl i?l .ibq Q The Hobart High School Track Team led by the versatile, consistent Fifield, swept down the field 'at the Eleventh Annual Field and Track Meet of the Lake County High School Association last Saturday and placed itself triumph- antly in second place, being led only by the strong Whiting High School Team. It was an ideal day for an Athletic Meet and every event was hard fought. The sun beating upon the seventy-five competing athletes caused every ounce of power to be brought out in an effort to break the record. In Fifield, Hobart had the best athlete in the field and he sprang a surprise by winning the gold medal. He won first place in high jump, 120 yard hurdles, 220 yard hurdles-, and secured a tie for second place in the pole vault, giving him 16 1-3 points. Since he had never been in an Athletic Meet before he was a dark horse and nobody had thought of his winning the gold medal. The county record was tied in the 120 yard hurdles by Fifield, time being 17 2-5 seconds, the same as that made by Belman of Hammond in 1906. Krausse, a Hobart Freshman, won third place in the high hurdles. Fitield won his events with a natural ease and did not exert himself to the limit. The hardest fought event of the meet was the 440 yard dash. Bruebach of Hobart had not run this race in better time than sixty seconds this season. At the crack of the pistol the other runners started away with a sprint but Bruebach did not hurry himself in the least until he had reached the 220 yd. mark. At this time he was running next to the last. But with the speed of a ten second man he passed six runners and pulled him- self into second place fifty yards from HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 37 the finish. Greenwald of Whiting was leading by three yards and at the finish there was but one foot to decide who was the winner. If there had been ten more yards to run Bruebach would have passed the Whiting runner whose time was 56 3-5 seconds. Bruebach also won third place in the 220 yard dash. The high jump was also won by Fi- field who jumped 5 ft. 4 in. Fleck of Hobart created a surprise by taking first place in the broad jump with a leap of IS ft, Hobart got an unusually late start this season and would have been satisfied with one or two firsts.

ITH a deep sigh, John Long resigned his place at the window and lowered l11s tall frame into a rocker which stood a .few feet away. The room was plainly furnished and harmonized Fld - with Long, whose suit of blue was a trifle shiny at the elbows. His broad shoulders and well built legs, whose muscles tapered at the knees, indicated a runner. Indeed, John Long was a Marathon runner and his skill was to be tested once more before evening. It was nine o'clock in the morning of a. warm day in May. As Long sat there he began mentally to figure the coming events. Many days of training had brought him great endurance and this race was to be the best. Outside, multitudes of people were hurrying to and fro, all eager for the great event. He had not yet met his opponent whose challenge he carried in his pocket. 'Would he endure the task of running more than twenty-five miles? As he sat there thinking, the time flew quickly by. . At last the hour for action had arrived and Long hurried to the track. As he passed through the side gate of the grounds leading to the dressing 1'oo1n, people made way for him and a great cheer arose. Indiiierent to this welcome he fitted himself with proper equipments. A wild applause greeted his entrance on the track, which he acknowledged with a nod of his head and strode on. But where was the man he was going to run against in the race-the man who had dared more than all others in challenging? Then he saw a form running lightly on the tra.ck. Another cheer, that was for his opponent whose body showed the best of training. Long looked at him with admiration. The announcer raised his megaphone. Unbroken silence reigned as he introduced John Long, the Champion Marathon Runner of the world and Tom Martin of New York. The race was a contest for the title, for Long to retain it or Martin to win it. The scorers took their places with scoring boards facing the grand stand, both men stepped up to the starting point. All was ready and as the starter's pistol cracked Long was away, but Martin jumped into the lead with a terrific pace, forgetful of the long race he was to run. Long swung in behind and running steadily covered the ground but a half a lap behind Martin. The former was running on experience while the latter tested his wonderful supply of energy to keep up the g1'ind. As Long swept by the grandstand on his seventh lap a voice was raised calling, Get a move on, Long, you won't win that way.

Also we decided on Garden City as the place for our good time, a11d the liij iiii 132 Nickle Plate tracks as t.l1e best way to get there. So, between nine and ten that morning, the whole Freslunan class ran down the High School steps, swinging our tin pails and headed for Garden City. The railroad 9111lJ3.I1li11l91ltS were covered with violets and shooting- stars, daisies and forget-nie-nots. These connnon flowers were despised by the most ardent botanists because they preferred to wait until they had reached the real specimens, specimens that we were to analyze and trace in our next lessons. About half way to Garden City a spring bubbles up into a sunken half-barrel. VVe were all thirsty from our walk in the sun, and were glad to find two of the boys had collapsible metal cups. After resting a few minutes, we started on our way again. Vilhen we reached Garden City, We chose a spot between two hills with thick, soft grass and trees to lean against as we ate. Just then Lulu learned why Fred had been so attentive on the wa.y down. He HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 49 had helped her over the fences and carried her pail all the way there. ' ' Say, Lefty, may I eat with you '? Of course Lulu was willing and Fred certainly lightened her pail considerably. After lunch we started the real botanizing. The whole cla.ss i11- dustriously picked flowers for two hours. Edith and Bertha had the largest bunch of violets and Gladys had the most daisies. Olive and Ruth found at lot of rare weeds we had never heard of beforeg though we analyzed them in class we soon forgot their na.mes. Lightner waded into the creek about two feet deep for a dozen handfuls of duc-kweed, and some cut-leaved buttercups. He got some wild ginger also. Miss Quinnell had given us emphatic orders that on no account must we return to the school house later than three o'clock, so we started back in plenty of time. The roa.d home was about six times as long as on the way out. It was a tired but happy bunch of Freshmen that came back to Hobart that afternoon. We had enough botany specimens to last a month. At the school house we learned why Miss Quinnell had been so particular about our getting back by three o'clock. She took us down to Henderson's and treated us to a strawberry ice-cream. This was a happy climax in our royal good time, and we planned another picnic for our Sophomore year. For further particulars see That '13 Fish- ing Trip. RUTH S.

S0 faith- 'i is ful were the members of the class to this principle that we are afraid that perhaps sometimes there was an overabundance of play. However we were always ready for work, when there was wonk to be done, attacking it with a zeal and earnestness that made us a strong class. HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 51 After entering the high school in 1907, for some time we were rather slow. We felt lonesome and diminutive, so we hurried home- ward at dismissal lest, in wandering from the path of duty, we per- chance might meet with some dignified Senior or frowning pedagogue. Alas for the terrors of Freshmanhood! It took the snow to restore our courage. For some time we hesi- tated in fear and trembling until, one by one becoming bolder, We decided to break the fetters by which We were bound, declare ourselves independent-and ha.ve a bob party!!! Thus one evening we were to be seen donning our warmest gar- ments and creeping forth into the moonlight. After having left the lights of the village, jollity reigned and our courage Was so greatly re- stored that some of the boys actually dared to show their faces in Vllheeler undisguised, where they purchased some brick batsw much to the delight of the crowd. But ah, the remorse that followed! How We dreaded meeting the faculty the next morning! However a happy surprise was in store for us. Upon entering the building we were all filled with surprise and wonder at the docility of the much feared ones. The Seniors smiled, condescendinglyg the Juniors, reproachfully, the Sophomores, sweetly, and the faculty, understandingly. Thus we were launched upon the social world. On February 14th a feeling of anticipation reigned throughout the High School. The girls dreamed throughout the afternoon, and the boys had a far-away look in their eyes. YVhen the bell rang for dis- missal, what a happy hubbub followed! How we all hurried home, for we must be ready for the Valentine party the faculty were giving that evening. Several hearts were lost in the hall, but all have since been recovered and repaired. Though the palpitation was troublesome they are no longer easily disturbed. The social events of the next year began with a party given in honor of Elmaida Johnston, who represented us in the local oratorical contest. She won second place and as this was the nearest our class had ever come to first, we were proud of her success. Our Work during this year was rather heavy, so, after trying re- peatedly to add to our social list, we gave it up, and for the rest of the term devoted our time entirely to our studies. And then came our Junior year. All of our social spirit, sleeping but never dead, rose up. Those days were one continual round of pleasure--days never to be forgotten. Once more We we1'e favored with snow, and once more the moon saw a happy crowd leave town, singing and talking merrily. if 52 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL The next event was the oratorical contest. Vile were represented by Carl Lennertz andfoh, most triumphant day, he won first place! Wie we1'e filled with 311 overwhehning enthusiasm and in order to show our appreciation we gave hi1n a party. Our parties were always famous owing to the wit of Caesar and Bridget 'fI've got a bright idea, was always the favorite game, as it afforded such a splendid oppor- tunity for coinplimenting each other. Following this was our marslnnallow roast. Rumor said that we were to meet at Bale's Island and celebrate. But somehow, we found ourselves at Gruells, giving Emma a surprise party. The Seniors nodded envyingly at each other with the remark, bum joke, but we knew the trick had been successful and that our intentions had been completely concealed. In all High School life there is one event that is always looked forward to with great anticipation. Each class tries to outdo all the former classes in the Junior reception. Our reception, which was given at the home of Alice Larson on May 4, 1910, was a complete success. Everything for which we had planned more than satisfied our greatest desire. The rooms were decorated in the colors of the Senior class and their class flower, the sweet pea. Thecandles, with which the tables were lighted, were covered with lavender and cream shades, giving a most beautiful effect. At eleven, a five-course dinner was served. This was our greatest triumph in the art and was socially perfect. Each guest received a favor. These were read amidst much laughing and praise to their author. In appreciation of our work, in endeavoring to make the reception a success, the Seniors treated us at Gold1nan's. Vile all enjoyed our- selves exceedingly and thank the Seniors very much. Our Senior year has been very busy. Nile have had two parties. The first was given to Fred VVeaver in honor of his birthday, the second to Carl Lennertz, who represented us once more at Hammond. 'We are very proud of Carl and feel that this is merely a small expression of our appreciation of his success. Our Senior year is nea.rly ended and with it our social events a.s a class. Vile are planning to make our last days the crowning success of our High School career and that this may be, we must neglect our social duties. Although the events themselves are past, their memory still lingers and shall ever linger as a most happy remembrance. As a class we have always been united, ready for anything, sympathizing with each other in our sorrows and rejoicing in our victories. Thus, as we have been-a united class-we shall remain. Although our different paths may lead us far from each other, yet will we be united in memory. ALICE LARSON. !

I Music may be taken as the symbol and expression which unites the practical and romantic features. The tangible part of music is practical, addressing itself to the eye, the ear, the hand, the voice. The ethereal takes us at once out of the realm of the senses and carries us into a tone World of surpassing beauty. ' A single sound alone is but a noise. Yet each single sound can be fitted into a ganiut, out of Whose seven notes all music is constructed. Browning speaks in his Abt Voglern of the three sounds which create not a fourth sound, but a star! It is those starry effects of harmony or associated sounds which iconipose music. , 'xibfifi' K snsezg it has 5. A 'SE A C I l l 54 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Music is so wide ia realm that it takes into its magic enclosure the gifted and also the undeveloped, the young but latent lover of song and sound, and the mature connoisseur and master of its science and art. The great palace of music opens wide doors to those who love and long for the divine in sound. Of all our art-loves, this is the most ethereal. It speaks indeed a mystic language and one of other spheres. But we comprehend it. VVe cannot begin too early to provide that which shall evoke the divine and more subtle part of our natures. The finer qualities of the spirit need constant cultivation. Vile know not who is to be the reed, through which all things blow into music. ' Music begins where proportions are enriched, where facts turn into fancy, where learning has lost its way, where science has passed its material boundaries, on the borderland of art. Art is the refinement of power, 111usic is the refinement of art. It baffles our reason but appeals to our sympathy. It thwarts our intelli- gence but develops our emotions. It eludes our understanding but en- riches our knowledge. The songs of the earth are the same songs that the morning stars sang together in perfect harmony and rhythm when the world was young, for music is the universal language. Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. How often, after a long day of toil and study, have we gone weary, worn and discouraged to music class. How brief were those forty minutes! And how our hopes arose and our nobler impulses and higher emotions were aroused by tl1e perfect beauty of the songs which we sang. These forty minutes thrice a week are the happiest periods in our recollection. ' For the first two years in the H. T. H. S., Mrs. D. Richardson Lyeth was our music instructor. The last two years we studied music under the supervision of Miss Mabel C. Monroe, except during the last three months Miss Golda F. Baker has been our director. During three years the four classes sang as a unit, but it was de- cided it would be more convenient this year to divide the chorus into two separate classes. This year the High School first appeared as a chorus at the Farm- ers' Institute. We sang, Oh, Italia, Italia, Beloved, a composition of surpassing beauty, also Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep, a chorus of exquisite charm and melody. ' Our class is the possessor of a girls' trio, the only one known to High School history for several years, which we have maintained the entire four years. Vile possess also a boys' quartette, which has done some good work, although it is not of so long a duration as the trio. HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 55 The class of 1911 expect to give a Comic Opera tl1e lirst of June entitled, 'fThe Captain of Plymouth. The opera is based upon Long- fellow's poem, The Courtship of Miles Standish, and we are very anxious to make it a success. Commencement exercises will be held this year the sixteenth of June. At this time the Seniors will bid farewell to the dear old Hobart High School and our beloved in- structors who have done so much for our betterment. Vlfe know that our work, our friends, our teachers, yes, the very school shall in some manner enter into the harmony of our lives. May we catch the trill in the songs of the birds, and feel the thrill of patriotism as we sing our nationa.l songs. May we be inspired by the anthem and soothed by the lullabv. May we hear the harmony about us and turn a deaf ear to all the diseords and Make Life, Death and that vast Forever, One Grand, Sweet Song. ELMAIDA JOHNSTON.

EDFIELD BURKE, as the owner of tl1e name invariably signed himself, was the pepperiest proposition of an angel this earth has ever seen. He was the owner of the fiercest 5 good disposition, described as A pot of mustard thatls clear balm-if you don't mind geting stung when it is applied. But among his many friends the full name had inevitably been sup- planted by the nickname, for the big, red-haired, quick tempered, warm hearted fellow was Red Pepper. One day in the latter part of May, when spring had put on her festal garments, Red, with trunks and any number of suit cases, hat boxes and the like, to the disgust and despair of his friends, started for a certain quiet country place in New England where he might fish to his heart 's content. At half-past six of the glorious next morning he was out-fresh, clear-eyed, and alert. Just because the sky was blue, the breeze tonic, the earth dew-wet, shining and created new, he had to be out. As he went down the steps to the sun-ken garden, aimlessly, a solemn hound padded out from a side path and accepted him. It was welcome com- pa.nionship. He wandered down into a fragrant meadow, pockets stuffed with sandwiches and a trout rod in one hand. The stream was narrow and deep, for the most part flowing silently between level banks fragrant with mint and scented grass, but here and there a small moss- grown dam choked the current into a deeper pool below, into which poured musical waterfalls. ' There were trout there, yellow, speckled, and greedy, but devious in their ways, and uncertain as April mornings. There we1'e a.lso frogs there, solemn green ones that snapped at the artificial flies and came out of the water with slim limbs outstretched and glistening. Redfield was fond of frogs, he often sat for hours watching them afloat along the bank or squatting majestically upon some mossy stone. . The trout were coy. One great fellow leaped for the fly, missed it, leaped again into the depths, waving his square tail derisively. Red walked slowly down the brook, casting ahead into the stream, some- times catching his fly in the rank grass, sometimes defeating the maneuvers of some fat frog, and now and then landing a plump trout among the perfumed mint. It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon when he left the last pool, before the meadow brook Hows silently into the woods where slim black trout lurk. - 60 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL . His way lay through a woodland strip, and Red enjoyed this part of his walk immensely. He kept an eager eye out for the early flowers, slowly adding to the buncl1 in his hand. He knew every one, not by tl1eir connnon name, but as a botanist. The sight of some espe- cially line specimens te1npted him from the road and he wandered along, not noticing how far he was penetrating the woods. Suddenly he heard a shrill cry to his left, and ran in its direction. The cry was repeated again and again as he ran. As he came nearer to the location from which he had heard the cries he realized that he was on the bank of a swift moving stream. Just below were the falls, and just below the rapids. There is no more dangerous place on the whole stream than here except at the falls and rapids themselves. YVith one bound he broke through the under- brush. There on the bank stood Olive Forbs wringing her hands and screaming with all her might, while below her, clinging with one hand to an overhanging branch, was Harry, her small brother. Both he and Olive lived along the south road. The next instant he had thrown off coat and collar and rolled his sleeves high, so a brawny arm gleamed in the bright sunlight and the open shirt exposed a powerful neck. He did not hesitate a moment, but measuring the distance with his eye, let himself out over the boy, and held to an upper limb of the tree. The cold water had stiffened the boyls hand until his fingers barely clutched the slippery wood, and it was but a matter of seconds until he would be swept away down over the falls into the rapids, from which no living thing had ever emerged. Hold tight, Harry, until l get hold of you, he called out cheerily, then leaped down as far as he could, and caught hold of his coat collar with a firm grasp. The boy was fourteen and well grown for his age, so his weight by itself made the task diiificult. Added to this he had to pit his strength against the swift current, and work in a constrained position, himself hanging out over the turbulent water, much higher than ordinary on account of the fortnight's rain. Let go, and trust to me, he called out, and on the instant the boy's fingers slipped off, his body swung out, a11d l11S eyes closed 111 sheer exhaustion. iVitl1 muscles held ta.ut, the young man worked, gaining inch by inch. Steadily he brought himself back along the limb, hauling Harry with him. Just as he saw safety within his reach the branch broke, and he with his burden fell into the stream. However the water was not over his head, and so without losing presence of mind, he grabbed at the limb to which Harry had been clinging, and by sheer physical ef- HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 61 fort managed to get hi1n clear of the current, then dragged himself out and pulling the lad out from the mud and puddles, bent over him. It took all f'Red's knowledge to bring him out of the death-like stupor. So successful was he that before Olive returned with help, Harry was sitting up and looking about him. So turning the injured boy over to the men, Redfield set off at a rapid walk to town, for he realized he was chilled through and through. The remainder of Redfield Burke's vacation was spoiled by neither spot nor blemish. The ideal days, days created to order, were spent in hunting, fishing and boating. Red has learned how to get close to those with whom he may come in daily contact and to make good in every way. He found l1is greatest champion in Harry Forbs and knows he will always have the confidence and affection of one small lad.

As long as a school serves the purpose tha.t the community thinks the school ought to serve, that school will be supported by that community. WVhenever the course of study prepares the children of the community to do the work that the community requires to be done, that particular school will receive the support of our citizens. In a broad sense the citizens determine the course of study. If there are certain things demanded of the school the citizens will levy the taxes a.nd change the course of study and introduce such new studies as will enable the school to meet the new demand. 'When a parent sends his child to school, he estimates the course of study and the adva.ntages that tl1e child will have after having finished that course. If the school does not meet his ideals, he looks around for another school, and whenever any number of parents in a given community decide that certain things should be in the course of study, the school authorities respond and such things are introduced into that course of study as will prepare tl1e children for the Work the 1JEl1'611tS have in mind. After the children have finished the grade course, they weigh the advantages the High School has to offer. If they understand things properly they are able to make a decision as to whether that particular High School course of study will help them to meet the problems of their lives. It is true a great many child1'en do not attend High School, yet we feel that more and more of them are coming to appreciate its advantages. Those that do attend the High School are better prepared always, even though they enter on the same vocation as those who complete the grade work only. Students who complete the course of study in the High School have a similar question to solve if they wish to attend any higher institution of learning. They must decide the character of the work done at the college or univeristy. They must select the college or university where they are to prepare themselves for their life work. If a boy wishes a classical education he knows well by that time what college to select. If a boy wishes to become a physician there are many colleges and universities that have a medical department, and he does not make the mistake of going to some classical school. It is right that these schools should exist and do special lines of work. After the Work in the High School has been finished, al- though that may be practically the same for every pupil, we feel that the time has come to specialize, and that no one man or woman can learn all that the various schools have to offer. Our grade schools and HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 67 High Schools furnish the foundation and we are concerned chiefly in laying this foundation firm. The child must be Well grounded in the elementary subjects. He must be master of these leading prin- ciples. The teacher not only exerts his power to tra.in the child in these elementary subjects, but also exerts his forces to train the child, that he may be strong, physically, mentally and morally. The young man or young woman who has fine intellect, thorough -knowledge of various sciences, will have no standing in the community Without the other elements that go to make a man or Woman. In other Words, the teacher must not only develop the child so far as the course of study is con- cerned, but must guide the young man or young woman to take his place among honest men and women in the community. That which the teacher takes the greatest pride in, is not that the child can Work every problem, is not that the child can write a page without making a mistake, is not that the child can read a.nd write a foreign languageg I say it is not this so much. as it is the character. Vfe, as teachers, take 111ore pride in Watching the career of those who pass from under our control, as they enter the various vocations and professions and realiz- ing that they are doing the Work earnestly, that they are trying to do the Work better than it has been done before. lVe take pride in know- ing that the graduates from our schools will ill the future become the most influential members of the society or community in which they move.

I had not gone far when I was attracted to the inviting shade of a century circled oak tree. The day was ideal, the sun shone brightly a.nd not a sound could be heard but the singing of birds. In the quiet and se- cluded spot I soon became lost to the cares of daily life. And I dipped into the future, far as luuuan eye could see. In this vision the present faded into the past and that which is to be, appeared in an instant. Alice Larson stood before 1119 and informed me that she was now a successful physician. She insisted on my taking a ride with her and as we 1'ode we talked of school days twenty years before. She further informed me that she wa.s in touch with several of our old classmates. I listened with amazement as she related the great success of Edna Borger and Alvina Krausse. Edna and Alvina, thinking that they could not be separated after they were gra.duated, established an institution, otherwise known as tl1e Anchorage, which is a hive of industrious good women, offering a home and honest employment to women who are destitute a.like of money and family ties. Theirs is a noble and consecrated mission and many unfortunates esteem it a great privilege to cast their lot at the institution and wear the gray uniform and become one of the perma- nently located, Sisters of the Anchora.ge.'l She listened attentively while I related that the ambition of Elsie Rose was to become a skillful artist. In some degree, Elsie's artistic dream had been realized, and the study of years slowly flowered into a large painting which represented the Moonlight The canvas had been framed and hung at the art exhibition of the new Museum opened in her town. The public peered, puzzled, shook its sa.pient head, shrugged its authoritative shoulders, and sundry criticisms crept into the journals, as home work rarely finds favor among home committees, whose dullness its uncomprehended excellence affronts. Undismayed, Elsie withdrew her picture and shipped it to Prof. Xlfeaver of New York, who had recently returned from Europe, requesting him to place it at a picture dealerts on Broadway, and to withhold the na111e of its birth- place. Two weeks later a popular journal published an elaborate de- scription of a painting supposed to have been obtained by a New York HIGH SCHUOL ANNUAL 73 collector who merited congratulations upon possession of a master- piece. The first mail thereafter carried to New York an offer of eight hundred dollars for the painting from the President of the Museum of her own town. After a few days it was generally known, but men- tioned with bated breath, the Moonlight', had been bought by a wealthy Philadelphian who paid for it two thousand dollars and hung it in his gallery. Remembering that one of our classmates, Fred VVeaver, had had early ambitions to become President of some institution of learning, I wondered if this Professor was our old classmate. She then handed me a New York Educator of January issue, 1931, which read as follows: Fred INeaver, Ph. QD., has graduated from the Center Normal College, Indiana University and New York University. He has been president of tl1e last named institution for two years, during which time the school has enjoyed unusual prosperity. Dr. IVeaver is an instructor of rare ability, a man in every sense and the friend of every student. His success may be expressed by the fact that he is celebrated both in Europe and in this country for his psychological experiments. After reading this I was reminded of an advertisement in a daily paper which ran something like this: You are wanted in the Elec- trical field if you are handy with tools, can read and write, and want to learn the best paying trade in the only Electrical School west of New York. VVe will teach you to become a first class practical Electri- cian and guarantee to place you in a good paying position. The school furnishes all material and tools gratis. Electrical VVorkers School, Paul Bruebach, Supt. Being called to Calumet one day last summer on a professional visit, said Alice, I noticed while walking down the street a sign bearing these words, Carl Lennertz, Attorney at Law. I hurried up the stairway to a nicely furnished office where I was welcomed and I will tell you of his experience. 'Thirteen years ago,' he said, ' I rented an office for the practice of law in Buffalo, New York. At the end of eighteen months I had never lost a case, for I never had a case to lose, so I decided to come here where I have been successful? Soon the conversation lulled and reaching for a magazine he read the following articles: Miss Emma Grruel went to Valparaiso for a term of Commercial work. Then went to Pueblo where she spent some time serving in her professional capacity at a sanitariuin. She is now in Boulder, Colorado, engaged in the real estate business and doing nicelv. The Vlfestern Penman takes much pleasure in presenting to its 74 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL readers, this month, a photograph of Miss Cora Demmon, of Philadel- phia, whose remarkable expertness in rapid Writing has attracted the attention of business teachers generally. lVe do not deny, nor do we doubt, that this young lady and others can write for a minute at the rate of seven figures a second, but it is almost an incredible record. 73. I wonder where Matilda Harms is, said I. Oh!,' said Alice, a year ago she went to Reno, Nevada, where women stand a better chance. She is head pharmacist in the largest establishment in the city and judging by the newspaper write-ups, 'the only lady pharmacist in the city.' - Then Alice told me of the last meeting of the County Medical So- ciety at which she met Dr. Hugo Fifield. Being a very optimistic man Dr. Hugo gave the following in a special talk: I can cure the world, or at any rate eliminate the opportunity for folks to fall ill in the future, if you will only help me destroy the medical trust by printing my articles. This notion of stopping all sickness is old enough, but the notion of our doing the trick seems to us to give it novelty. However our method of curing the world is to cure it piecemeal, so we will not go deeper than to set down the four commandments which the good doctor brings down to us. First Commandment-Thou shalt not be Vaccinated. Second Commandment-Thou shalt not take any disease by Con- tagion. Third Commandment-Thou shalt not be quarantined. Fourth Commandment-Thou shalt not take disease from Germs. On conversing with him after the meeting he told of our soprano, Ehnaida Johnston, who after winning great renown as a singer, is now a composer of music, several pieces of which have made a hit. A few of the best,', he said, were, When the Husband Builds the Fire, The Aeroplane Aid Society, Love by Wireless, and He Just Suits Me. As we rode on she told me of how Marguerite Swanson had gone to Oxford and taken up the study of domestic science. She liked this Work very much and found great pleasure in it, so great in fact that she desired to share her pleasure with another and now she is practic- ing domestic science in her own home. Bert Hartnup, do you remember him? I just happened to have a friend visiting me some time ago, continued Alice, and she told me of one of their neighbors starting for the wilds of Africa as a mission- ary. She was so interested in the event that I asked who it was and much to my surprise I learned that it was our classmate, Bert. HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 75 There was one in our class Whose ambition was to become a kinder- garten worker. Isa Bullock is a graduate of Indiana State Normal School, and is making an enviable record in primary grade Work. She began teaching in Tipton and last November resigned to accept a po- sition at Indianapolis. Her record as a student 'is borne out in her teaching and her supervisor speaks of her Work in the highest terms. While Dr. Alice was making her call .I remembered one more of our class of Whom we. had not spoken, so on our homeward journey I told her how Miss Bertha Kraft of Laporte had started for Porto Rico, Where she had been commissioned by the government to organize normal schools. Bertha. has full central direction of this branch of educational work, which the government proposes to extend to the group of Philip- pine Islands, with the assurance given the young Indiana woman that she will superintend its introduction. Bertha established the first nor- mal school in Porto Rico about a year ago, and its success resulted in a decision to establish a system of schools with instructors from this countrv. I felt sleepy, my eyes grew dim, the curtains seemed to drop and rise again. I staggered to my feet, only to find myself still under the protecting shade of the same old oak tree. ROSE PHILLIPS. l PAUSE A MOMENT AND LOOK BACKWARD 76 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL VALEDICTORY. Qqq.. ADIES and Gentlemen :-Vile, the class of 1911, have gathered I here to greet you for the last time in our High School course. Vile, through patient study have climbed to the top round of :'L.L'ff-Lfib the ladder in our High School career. VVe do not expect the results of our training to come to ,us immediately but hope through the use of our study to acquire the gift of concentration. One writer has said that, The education received at school a.nd college is but a beginning, and is mainly valuable in so far as it trains us in the ha.bit of continuous application and enables us to educate our- selves after a definite plan and system. If all the knowledge we have acquired has given us higher ideals, higher thoughts and higher ambitions for the future it has fulhlled its purpose. These things we hope have been accomplished and we wish -to thank our kind friends for all the advantages with which we have been favored. We thank our friends who have watched us month by 1nonth and have urged us on, encouraged us to do better things. The class of 1911 sincerely thank you for your interest in our work and aim to become members of society worthy of such a school and community. VVe look back into the years which we as classmates have spent together, long days of happiness which will never be repeated. A voice urges, Durate, et vosmet rebus servate secundis, CGO on, prepare yourself for better thingsl. Our minds then turn to tl1e future, colored by the hopes and dreams of tl1e present. W'e look up the steep hill of success and see the winding paths, long and rough, and are not dis- heartened. Vlfe must press to the shining summit for there our ideal beckons to us and again we hear, Go on, prepare yourself for better things. As we set out upon this highway the dear old school days have a new meaning to us. A vision of the future rises before us and we see each classmate at his task, some serving mankind in the quiet walks of life and reaping the golden reward of inward happinessg others treading the more ambitious ways, pushing aside our limitations and winning the benison of a grateful people. But when we look around and count the number that have left school to face the road unprepared our hearts are filled with compassion that they have chosen wrongly or have been denied the benefits of education. HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 77 Teachers and companions, o11e and all, We now bid you our last farewell as the curtain fthe past! falls and our High School days are over. But While this hides the beautiful sphere around us, another curtain is drawn up and We again look into the future, Fair as human eye can see,', and We see the nxorning of a new day inviting us to our labors.

' HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 87 VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY lACCREDITEDl VALPARAISO, INDIANA One of the Largest Institutions of Learning in the United States THOROUGH INSTRUCTION AT THE LOWEST EXPENSE The Institution was organized with the idea of giving to every person. whether rich or poor. a chance to obtain a thorough, practical education at an expense within his reach. That it is performing this mission is indicated by the numbers who avail themselves of the advantages offered. Universilll Place The Institution was established in 1873 with 8 Depart- ments. 4 instructors and an annual enrollment of 210 different students. Now there are 25 Departments 191 Instructors and an annnual enrollment last year of 5521 Different Students The reason for this growth is in the fact that the In- stitution is constantly increasing its facilities, strength- ening its courses of study and offering additional ad- vantages without making the expense to the student any greater.

Kin- derarten, Primary, Psychology and Pedagogy, Manual Training, Scientific, Biology, Civil Engineering, Classic- al, Higher English, German, French, Spanish, Italian. Elocution and Oratory. Music. Fine Art. Law, Pharma- cy, Medical, Dental, Commercial. Penmanship, Phonog- .raphy and,Typewriting, Review. CIVIL ENGINEERING The Revised Course in Civil Engineering is proving a most valuable acquisition. No extra charge. TI-IE NEW BIUSIC HALL enables the School now to accommodate all who wish work in music. It is thought by some that because the expenses arena low the character ofthe instruction must be inferior. It is but just to say that the salaries of the instruct- ors equal those of the best state and private universi- ties. In other words the low rates have not been made at the expense of a high grade of instruction. but have been made by applying business principles to The Cost of Livinf' so that the most satisfactory accommodations for board and room may be had at from 51.70 to 32.75 per week. Tuition S18 per quarter of twelve weeks or S60 if paid in advance for48 weeks. If the entire tuition is paid in advance for the year it includes all of the departments, excepting Medical, Dental and private lessons in Music.
