It gives us pleasure and we deem it an honor that our friends have gathered here to witness our last appearance as seniors of this school. Our four years of High School work have beeii very hapi)y. Some of the events we can never forget. Now we must think of other things beside our good times at school and look upon the world in a different light and while thus doing, keep in mind our motto: “Live pure, speak true, right wrong’’ — the maxim of the knight of chivalry. We shall not have the ever-watchful eyes of our teachers to guide us but must be armed with that j)ower which we have accpiired by years of effort under their direction. We are ready now to do the many things which are assigned us. First let us pause and review the eireumstanees which have made possible this realization of our ambitions. Our parents have i)rovided us with all the needs for gaining our goal. They have been interested in what we have done and sacrificed much in order to give us an education. Now, with glad memories and a .joyful hope, we cross the border which separates our High School life from the broader, unknown life before us. We have worked daily together and have gained strength and courage from a recognition of the worth of each individual classmate. Hui ' ing our High School life we have been actuated by the same hopes and fears. A spir it of mutual respect and confidence has ever kept us harmonious and united. In our record as a class we .justly take iiride. As we sei)arate, let everyone bear none but the pleasantest memories of our High School life; let the dark hours and less happy moments be forgotten; if our hoi)es and ambitions are not in the future realized, let us not be disap- pointed. We shall go through life with a light heart and hapi)y smile if we but heed the sign on the guide post Live pure, .speak true, right wrong.’’ lUYRTLE WILD. 0 (JEOROE II.

Superintendent Hobart Schools 1905 — 0 O d Cj ENGLISH F You were to ask me which of the subjects we studied during our four j ' ears work here was the broadest and most general, I should .say that English was the one. And in reading a review of the four years toil, you will get some idea of what we ac- complished. In the Freshman class, under Jliss Frank’s guiding hand, we read Ivanhoe, Sir Kogerly De Coveidy Papers, Washington’s Farewell Addre.ss, Webster’s Bunker Hill Addre.ss, and the Lady of the Lake. Besides these ela.ssics, we studied letter writing, and wrote many compositions. As Sophomores, we studied with Mi.ss Roper as our guide. Here we met the simile, metaphor, and other parts of speech, wrote more compositions ; had several interesting debates, and read Eliot’s “Silas Marner,’’ -Milton’s “Minor Poems’’ and Hawthorne’s “Hou.se of Seven Gables.’’ The most interesting year of the four, however, was surely the Junior year. iMiss Roper introduced the “Short Story Course.’’ Of course we took this in addition to the regular Junior English. In the book we used, there was a short .story of nearly every type, as, supernatural, love .story, animal story, character sketch, humorous, and several others. We were required to read and write a review of the one in the book, and do the same with two others. Through this, we read a great deal from modern writers. During this year we also read from Poe, Cooper, i rark Twain, Bret Harte, Emerson, Thoreau, Holmes, Lanier, Whittier, and many others. During onr Senior year we had as our teacher, Mr. Thompson, who surely made the work interesting. We studied English Literature from the very be- ginning and traced its developement and progress. We found new beauty and a clearer understanding of poetry Avith iMr. Thompson to explain and direct. So looking back over our Avork, Ave realize that the time Avas especially Avell spent and Ave have profited by the Avork. GLADYS SNYDER. P Q D a AMERICAN HISTORY 0 HIS subject is only given for one-half a year, although there are enough things in it to study for years. There are nine in our class, all of whom are vei ' y much interested in American History. We girls become somewhat awestricken at the many horrors and perils endured by our forefathei ' s, but Howard remains undaunted and wishes that he might have been there to hel[) in the signing of the “Declara- tion of lndei)endence”, drawing uj) of the “Constitution”, and the many great wonders of the times. Our teacher, Mr. Thompson, makes our class very in- teresting by relatin g .some of the incidents that are traditional in his family. Class has been held every day in spife of the fact that there were only three present one stormy day. Mr. Worthington taught us that day, giving the out- line as Mr. Thompson does. There was imich wonderment when those who had been ab.sent returned to find that the others had the outline ui)-to-date. Still anothei ' day the class was greatly surprised when i lr. Thompson, being in- disposed, gave us an unexi)ccted test. ' Phus we find that even in History pre- paredness is best. PEARL OLS 0 O v n O J. E.

B„ 191:5 Val- paraiso University 0 Q Q 0 SCIENCE ClEXCE in the Hobart Hi h School has been a success as the class of ’16 have joyfully and rightfully decided. ) We were introduced to Miss Science through the inediuin of Botany as a study of nature and the many and wonderful things she gives us. ] lany and joyful were the days when we I ' oained the hills and valleys looking for a different and more beautiful ffowei ' than our schoolmate had bi-ought in the day before. Seclnded nooks and marshy places were trampled o’er, and the rai-est and lu-ettiest dower plucked from its fertile hiding place beside a decaying log, by hands that never tliought of the lives they took nor of the thousands that they desti ' oyed, hut you can’t blame us foi ' we were oidy Preshmen. We would search half a day for a rare specimen, just to have a pretty little girl say, “() what a pretty flower! Where did you get it, will you bring me a nice bompiet tomorrow?” iMany times we got onr feet and clothes muddy and sometimes ourselves badly scratched trying, hut think of the smiles we got later. Xo science like Botany for the Sojihomoi ' es. We had to wait till as .luniors we again pinnged deej) in a science. Physics, the most wonderful of all sciences, for you cannot help noticing .some indication of the research for the scientific as you notice the many modern imi)rovements of this .scientific world of onrs. Yon notice the railroad engine, the automobile, the d.ving machine, the wii-e- less telegra])h and the many other electric machines, but did you every stop to think how they work, and on what ])rinciples. Although our study of Physics was limited, we .secured a .start, and were more than willing to go dee] er into 18 =D Q O Q a d Q C5 tile subject most hoy-like to take. ' I’here were only four boys in the Physics ela.ss so we were not liothered by exiilaiiiiiij ' many tbintrs to the frirls, for those of oui- class are extremely curious as we discovered in Chemistry. Chemistry is a study of ehemieal elian es and man’s attempt to control them. If you have ever taken it you were no doubt impressed with the mystery involved, and many, “() how pretty” expressions escaped junir lijis, if a fiirl or, ‘‘pretty nifty” if a boy. It’s a very interestin : subject and a jileasant one if you leave out lUS (Ilydro ren Sulphide). We realize that our knowl- edge of Chemistry is only the dust on the cover, and that it is summer time with only the most scientific student of Chemistry. Botany, Physics and Chemistry taken all together make a very good post to lean against, is our advice to those entering High School. So if you ever get a chance at any or all of them tackle low and hold tight, and we guarantee that you will not be a loser iu knowledge or pleasure. HOWARD REl)I)I, (i, ' Ki. HISTORY ,S SOPHIES our minds were kejit busy under the guidance of iMr. Stoltz, tracing the develoiiement of man through the prehistoric, the Oriental and the classical ages iq) to medieval times. ' J ' he study was more inti ' resting, as we studied individually the lives of Darius, Alexander the (treat, Philip of iMacedonia, Augustus, C’onstantine and Caesar, whose names and deeds have had effect u|)on the events of all succeeding ages. While Ancient History dealt with the hi.story of Carthage, Rome, 0 recce and other Oriental countries. Medieval and Jlodern History dealt with the spread of civilization over Xorthern Europe and America. iMr. Stoltz led us through a nieri’y course, at least we considered it such until we (‘ame to the tests and found our nunds void of all memory of those precious numbers known as dates. THERESIA CHESTER. ’Hi. CIVICS HERE were thirteen in our class. This was one of the large.st classes and I thiid the largest in which all were exempt from St ' iiiester examinations. This fact I think was due to our teacher, i Ii ' . Worthington, who made the recitations so interest- ing. It seemed as if the problems of early times were before us. When we came to the present day problems the discussions were indeed lively. One of the mo.st interesting of these was the debate upon ‘‘AVoman Suffrage.” In this debate the girls argued for it and the boys against it. .Mr. AVorthing- ton .said he could see no reason why women should not have ecpial suffrage so we girls won. Looking forward to the time when we will all be voters, I think we should in some way prepare for it. A good preparation lies in the study of Civics.

As usual, the majority was ou the German side. It seemed larger than other years, with a ratio of eighteen to two, but when the German class started, they found a few Avere missing. We, the German class, started out Avith high ideals. We thought Ave Avonld be able to converse Avith each other in “Dent.sch” before the year Avas up, hut Ave soon forgot our fii’st vieAvs Avhen Ave discovered the difficulties in the grammar. In our Ereshman year, under Miss Ethel Erank, Ave succeeded in making our Avay half through “Becker Khodes” and studying “German Stories Re- told.” In our Sophomore year, under iliss Eunice Roper, Ave finished “Becker Rhodes” and took Aip “Allen ' s Composition” and “Imniensee.” As Juniors, Ave translated “Hermann and Dorthea” and “Minna Amn Barnhelm.” They Avere both interesting love stories Avhieh Ave enjoyed Auny inueh. Then Ave took up the play “hligensinn.” We each learned a part and acted it out, Avhich made us look foiuvard Avith plea.sure to German class. In our Senior year only tAvo remained, so Ave Avere alloAved to go on Avith the Junior class. We transla ted “Wilhelm Tell” and “Nathan der AVeise.” These stories Avere highly entertaining, hut hard Avork Avas required to master them. AVe eertaiidy had to Avork to keep up Avith the Juniors. In conclusion, Ave Avish to thank Aliss Frank and Aliss Roper for their patience in helping us to aecpiire the knoAvledge Ave have of German.

We were all very anxious to start the course especially Book- keeping as we exj)ect to have bank accounts some day. We started our Stenograiihy with a class of four, but two dropped out and left two girls. Our cla.ss, though small, was enthusiastic. l pon hearing that Miss Sykes was not coming back this year we were very much dis- appointed and wondered who our new instructor would be, hoping .she would be as congenial as Miss Sykes, ftpon the arrival of Mi.ss Roe our fears were brought to an end for we found that we had a new friend and sympathetic teacher. At the beginning of the year we were introduced to the typewriters. They were very interesting and our curiosity led us to examine them thoroughly. There were six in the cla.ss and at first we worked each day for accuracy and later on for speed. We were always glad when the Typewriting period came for we enjoyed the measured monotone played on the keys. We recommend the Commei’cial course and rejoice that we have studied under the direction of Miss Sykes and Miss Roe. -MABEL FULTON, ’16. 21 D Q= Q O ALFRED (i. El’I ' H Mallu‘iiiatics and iManuai Training’ ' 1914— Sir Josepli Williamson’s Mathematical School, Rochester, Kent, England Hachelor of Mannal Training, Valpa- I’aiso University, 1914 MANUAL TRAINING 0 SURREY the demand of the present advanced industrial woi-ld, the high schools have realized the necessity of some branch of vocational training to he inclnded in its course. As most of the iiulustrial duties are entrusted to men rather than ' women, the higii school realized that some branch of such training suitable for boys would necessarily have to be established in its institution. Of the many industrial courses to choose from, IManual Training probably being the most useful and interesting to the average high school boy, was es- tablished in the Hobart High School in Xinteen Thirteen along with IMechani- cal Drawing. The first year benches and the most necessary tools were in- stalled. But due to the rapid interest and efficient work shown by the boys the supply of tools was enlarged in number and variety and the old benches were replaced by new ones of the most modern type. 4’he old ones were set aside and used ouly when all the new ones were occupied, and at the present both the old and new ones are in nse. In the first lesson the pupils are taught how to use and care for the tools and the name of each. After the juipils have been shown a few im])ortant l)oints by the instructor, they are given a piece of old lumher which is in most any shape or condition to be squared and planed. If the pupil shows good abdity he is given some better material out of which to make some article as- signed him by the instiaictor. As the individual shows improvement and ad- vancement he is given a chance to make larger and more useful articles. I he different articles produced by the manual training department this 22 0 o 0 t) o Q a year are sleds, windmills, pedestals, nmsie stands and other smaller ai ' ticles made by the ;rade hoys, and first and second hif h school boys, while thos(? produced by the itiore advanced pupils are chairs, cedar chests, lihrai ' y tables, porch swings, writing desks, and davenports. Along with manual training, le.ssons in turning are given on the lathe, where such articles as cups, vases, mugs, ball bats, Indian clubs, chaii- legs, mallets, and other things were finished, to be used in connection with the othei ' Jiianual training work. Under the careful guidance of the present efficient instructor, l Ir. Ep])s, the hoys have shown great ability, skill and possibility in the |)romising lines of handicraft. PHILIP WALDECK. MG. O 0 MATHEMATICS ATHEMATICS, an iiiterestiiio ' and .useful study, and one that we cannot set along without a goodly knowledge of, in this day and age, should be taken and studied in earnest by every student that enters high school. We need inatheniatics in evei ' y walk of life; from the house- wife who figures her household bills up to the modern business woman, also from the farmer up to the great engineer anil business man. iMathematics is the foundation of almost every trade; without it the Egyptians could not have divided their land correctly after each overflow of the Nile; without it we could not have our locomotives, great bridges or canals, shipping could not be directed at their targets. In our first year of hap])y high school life we studied Algebra, (or any- how thought we .studied it, and by the quantity of paper and pencils we u.sed I gue.ss everybody else thought we did too) and continued this for a year and a half. Algebra is a hard .subject and formed tbe foundation for higher mathe- matics. Thanks to i lr. llaughtelin, our in.structor, who hammered it into our heads and made us get it. He even started a booby class for the unfortunate ones that couldn’t quite understand it at first. Then it was fun for some who could sit and laugh at their mates in two algebra classes a day. But believe me, there was some hard work done and also midnight oil burned, and Rocke- feller made more money in that little time than at any other time of his wondei-fnl career, while we worked like the dickens and stop])cd that booliy class, which made us laughed at — little green Freshmen of the Ilohai-t High. We had lots of fun while in this class, for it was a large class and naturally hard to handle. We passed into iilain (leometry and thought it would be ipiite hard, but soon found it fairly simple and interesting. Hei’e some of the girls found how awkward they were, when it came to constructing angles and figures, and more so when we jiassed into Solid. The girls were afraid, and oidy three con- tinued the .study with the boys. That was a splendid cla.ss and we have to thank Mr. Ejijis for it, who made it interesting and gave us some work that will he useful forever. Some good arguments arose while in this class. One was between Hain-y and Phillip and the.y argued it very well in Asseinbl.v one morning to the delight of the rest of the High School. The question was; Resolved: That the toi) of a wheel turns faster and twice as far as the bottom while resting on the ground and turning on an axle. Phillip on the affirmative think we all developed onr mental jmwer and also enjoyed it so much that I think the rest of the class were jealous of us. We found this work especiall.v helpful when we took iq) Physics and Chemistry and we knew why our faithful teachers had insisted upon our under.standing and getting the work. So we have this to say, from hard earned experiences, that our advice to every incoming student is, “Take all the mathematics that you can get and to get it well!” RAYMOND WOOD, ’16. o carried on, the firing of guns from the forts and battleships could not be and Harry the negative.

BRACKEN Art 1914— Hobart High Scliool 1909 £ a Q P d 0 P ART llp] aim of the Art course in High School is practical hut mainly to devel()])e an appreciation of Art and to develope good ideas in design and colors, ' fhere ar e so many beautiful things about us that we do not see and ai)preciate. When we have developed this sense of apj)reeiation life is so mueh more to us and we get so much more out of it. At the beginning of school we had two classes. Thej ' consisted mostly of Freshmen and Sophomores. They worked hard and on October 15 gave a Japanese Hazaar. The halls were decorated with Japanese cherry branches, ])arasols and pictuirs. The girls of the class were dressed in Japanese kimonas, fans and slippers. They sold pictures and candle shades. Japan Tea and wafers were served. With the jirofits they bought pictures to decorate the halls. They arc co|)ics from famous ai ' tists and certainly add to the beauty of the building. Later on they took uj) pose work and designing from nature and life. Now they are doing some cartooning. Some of the plays and the Bazaar were advertised by means of posters. At Christmas and Hallowe’en j)osters were made. The class developed cro.ss-stitch designs from drawings they did from animals. The recognized value of practical drawing is that it leads children to the study of ob.iects with which they come in contact from day to day and show them that drawing is not an isolated study but one that can be put to practical iise. Drawing opens the eye to a new range of vision and trains the power of analysis, enabling one to resolve things into their primal elements, and to ob- serve from different points of view. It is given the most valuable space in daily newspapers and in leading magazines, whether employed to interest, to instruct, or to amuse. It produces the pleasing effects in wall paper and in decorated china, and in the plainest rugs and the most gorgeous tapestries. It sketches the outlines of the daintiest lace, whether intended for a baby’s cap or the most elaborate costume. It speaks to the children from the black-board of every school room and translates vagueness into obvious truth. It is employed to design a lady’s brooch or to plan a battle ship, to show the graceful lines of a simple bungalow or the harmonious proportions of an imposing mansion. It details the specifications of every contract, whether to build a picket fence or to construct a steel bridge ; whether to lay a water main or to dig the Panama canal. Jli.ss Bracken has taken a great deal of interest and worked hard for the students in trying to produce the results obtained. iMILDKED TABBERT Q 27 (T =-=4 D u o (iWEXDOLEN (ilLl.

Also we have learned the meaning and construction of the Latin which helps a great deal in the English language. A.s Freshmen we were a small cla.ss because a large numhei ' (budded to take (ierman. We wrote English sentences in Latin and translated Latin scmtences. Miss Qninnell taught ns some small rhymes, as “0 Mea ilaria” (Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary), and “Eid)icilla” (Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star). We took one day just writing out English words derived from the Latin words with their numerous prefixes. W ' e found a great i)roportion of them; this surely shows that Latin and English are closely connected. Ill our Soiihomore year we read Caesar and though we found the four- teenth chapter especially hard, we succeeded in translating it. In this work, we found it interesting to learn how Caesar constructed the bridge, and how he carried on his wars. As Juniors a new Latin teacher greeted us. Then we studied Virgil’s Aeneid in which we took great pleasure in contrast to Caesar’s wars. Here the Juniors and Seniors united into one class. Then as Seniors, we were .joined by the Juniors making a class of nine. In the begin- ning of our Senior year we read many Roman letters, one consisting of only two lines. (Much time was spent in studying the speeches Cicero made against Cataline. “We also read his eulogy of Pompey and his Oration against An- tony. AVe studied all the history that was connected with these events. As a Senior class we owe thanks for the pleasure and gray matter gained in the last two years of our Latin course to Miss (lillilland. iMYRTLE XELSOX, ’lb. o Q 28 ::v_z7 Q P a Q Q P DRAMATIC [IIK (li-aiiiatic work this year lias been carried on almost entirely by the I’nhlie S[)eakin i ' class.

WILD. 29 0 P x a Fusic 1914 — Hobart High School 1910 Northwestern Conservatory 1913 L D Q MUSIC Q P a P USIC is the smile of education, sinoothiiif? out frowns, giving dimples in jilaee of wrinkles, rippling echoing tones in place of curses. All pretense to educate without music is like pretending to be rapturously happy while wrinkling the face with scowls and frowns and clogging the voice with wrath or hate. We, who are mo.st interested in this department, insist first, la.st, and all the time that music is an educational essential not to he neglected because other school activities are more insistent. i [usic is as real in its service to humanity as the multiplication table. Why does a boy whistle when he needs heart? Why did the soldier hoys sing “Dixie” or “iMarching Through (ieorgia” when there was danger of over- much thinking of home or picturing the morrow’s carnage. Why doesn’t the hoy repeat the Multiplication table? i Iusie is the moulder of human mood and aspiration. It possesses the sold of most people as nothing else does. It plays its part in the greatest incidents and issues of life, war, politics, love and religion. It cannot he considered a non-es.sential, having no important place in education since the world’s social reformers declared that “for good or ill, music is one of the greatest forces in human eye, individually and colleetively. ” The members of Ilobaid High School have for many years en.ioyed the privi- lege of having special sujiervision in music. Ituring the last two years we have been fortunate in having a most competent director, Miss Kllwyn Roper, whose untiring efforts jilus enthusiasm in her work has brought about any degree of success that we have attained. The aim of our deiiartment has been to ac- (juire a larger appreciation and understanding of the best that the world’s great masters have given us. We are of the one and two talented while they were gifted with thousands. It is for us to find the “Sesame” that will admit us into the realm of beauty and culture. As a practical means towards this end, the attainment of “Appreciation,” we have an orchestra and a chorus. Nearly every one of the High School has taken an active part in one or the other. The orchestra, which ivas organized by i Iiss Roper last year has done splendid work and has appeared on many of the school programs and several of community interest, such as the Farmers Institute and the l Iemorial services. Interesting talks were given to the chorus by iliss Roper on the orchestra, explaining the families of instruments, their peculiar construction and history, their distinctive tone quality and its uses in the great orchestral works. One of the most pleasing results of both the orchestra and chorus work has been an awakened appreciation and interest in the Chautamiua and the Lyceum platforms.

IJLLIAX KEILMAN. 0 HOBAKT HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA 82 0 0 Air — “Come unto Him, all ye that labour” Lillian Keilman (iloria — (from the 12th mass) Mozart Cliorus Accompaniments by Viola Puett.jer and Florence Banks Elhvyn Rojier, Supervisor of iMusie A MUSICAL TREAT Last Friday afternoon Miss Ellwyn Roper presented one of the best musical pro- grams Hobart has heard in a long time. The processional was an unusual feature and was unusually well sung. The selections by the High School Orchestra and the solos by its members showed marked improvement over their efforts. The trio was enjoyable especially in the perfect blending of the three voices. The more ambitious part of the pragrom, selections from “The Messiah”, was exceptionally well given for High School pupils. The solo work was strong and each performer sure and pleasing in her treatment of the part assigned to her. The great treat of the afternoon was the closing chorus, — from Mozart’s 12th Mass. As the young voices rose and fell in the magnificent harmonies of the grand old chorus one could only enjoy, with a sense of wonder, it is true, that one, but a young girl herself, could so mold the various elements of young and otherwise un- trained voices into so glorious and harmonious a whole. Miss Roper is to be congratulated on the success of her work with the High School pupils, and the pupils themselves on having the opportunity to study under so competent an instructor. 33 0 o Q 0 sp:xa bokger y Domestic Science 1914 — Hobart lli b School 1904 DOMESTIC SCIENCE TEANGE as it may seem, we are frecjuently so concerned with tilings Avhieh are remote from us, in time or sjiace, that we fail to he much interested in the things near at hand. But gradually we are turning our attention to the really important problem, the home. Within recent years the schools have recognized this as a definite field of study and are putting it on a firm basis. Attention is being given to various things that help to make conditions of living better. The aim of Domestic Science should be to give practical help in solving the problems connected with the household — to train for scientific home-making. People are coming to believe that the school work which stops in the school- room is inadeiiuate. Children should be sent home from school to be home- helpers. They should be taught that home-making is a profession recpiiring training just as truly as does that of the doctor or lawyer. Children should learn that there is a right way of preparing food so that it may serve its pur- pose of nourishment economically; that there is such a thing as economy and suitability in the purchase and making of a dre.ss ; that there is a right and wrong way of decorating and furnishing a home; that thei-e is a labor-saving and labor-making device in the performing of the household tasks; that there is an economical and extravagant way of managing a household; that house- hold work, if skillfully and rightly done, is not a drudgery but an interest- absorbing occupation second to none. Parents and children should be made to feel that in and through this work the school is trying to help them “live sweeter and saner lives here and now.” In the first year pupils study food values and are trained in habits of ae- 0 Q 0 O =D Cf D (i Q 0 curacy, cleanliness, neatness, and quickness. Pupils are taufjht to do their work in an orderly, quiet and systematic manner. The .second year they take up more advanced cookinj;. They take up meal-i)lanninf :, servin ' ;;, and meal- balancing. It is rc(p;ired that after the girls have had a year’s training that they serve a meal, usually to the Board. The work under the supervision of Jli.ss Borger has been splendidly carried on and is advancing. As the needs of the school will demand the course and ecpiipment can be enlarged to corresi)ond. In the dim future the pupils of the school may be able to serve meals and lunches to the children that come in the Inisses. The results which it is hoped may be attained are : 1. That the girl who has no more, than high school training will have accpiired sufficient knowledge to give her a scientific attitude toward the household affairs, therefore giving her a keener interest. 2. That she maj perform her duties as housekeeper, whether of actual work or supervision, with more intelligence, greater interest, less labor, and better health and happiness to herself and family.

After the old fa.shioned 1916 we decided to find the rest of our classmates. On our way to Ilohart we stopped at “Mac ' s” home town. Deep Water, and there we found old “Boh” Wood, knee deep in the mercantile business. Proceeding to the Dee]) Water school house, we found iliss Pearl Ols instruct- ing the youngsters of that eommnnity. On arrival into Ilohart we noticed on a large electric sign. “Jliss Keilman, Voice Culture.” We left our machine at Chester’s, and i)roceeded to the “Hotel Redding” where we were ])leased to see “Doc” sitting at his desk. Howard informed ns that IMrs. Surveyor (formerly the little Wild Girl), lived down the street a few blocks. We hastened to her mansion and u])on our arrival Myrtle told us we were .just in time for “T.” Coming into the rece] tion room we were em- barrassed at seeing the society women of Hobart thei’c. We were about to be introduced, but, even through the brilliant veil of society we recognized Florence Strom, IMildred Tabbert, Theresia Chester, and others. IMac had some business with the mayor and asked me to go along, which I did, and behold in the mayor’s office the Little Snyder Girl was taking dicta- tion, and at a typewriter not far away sat Mabel Fulton hammering the keys. I scratched my head, and then I remembered that “Shorthand Class” of two. We wanted to get a look at the old school honse again so we went that way, and turning the corner we noticed it was all illumined with many colored lights. On a post outside we noticed “Lyceum Entertainment Tonight.” We decided to take it in. After the j)erformance, one of the Professors made us acquainted ■with the musicians, but we knew them well. It was the now world- wide known trio. Isabel White, voice; Lola Barnes, violin; Jennie Chester, piano. This was the first performance we had been able to attend and was a contrast to the old fashioned ones the 1916’ers nsed to hear! On our way back to “Busytown” we noticed a very n])-to-date farm. On inquiry we found it to be IMr. Siton Stuff’s. He showed us into a large mod- ern palace, and there to our great surprise we saw our old classmate, IMyrtle Nelson, prettily adorned in housewife’s attire. We had to hurry back as I had some cartoons to get ready for the morning edition, but were surely glad to have renewed our acfjuaintance with our old friends. 0 0 0 Q HARRY CARLSON. 36 D £i a EXTRA o [ XTRA — Extre-a-e-a”, the call shrilled above the noise and roar of the traffic. “Extre-e-e-a”; the owner of the voice, a tiny, little fellow, darted in and out the hurrying crowd. In the glare of the street light the soft snow fell shimmering about him. Now and then he was stopped by a purchaser, but ever and again to take up the cry — “Extre-e-e-a, all about the shootin’ of Jim McGannigan. Ex — ”. The shrill call died faintly as he hurried down the street. Everything was excitement — uproar. Everywhere a whisper came to their ears — “The big boss shot thru the heart.” Two hours later a loitering little figure shivered beneath the lamp light. The wind whistled sharply around the corner and pulling his coat collar about his neck he shuffled up to the lamp post, a few remaining papers under the thin, bony arm and his ragged cap down over his ears, he looked a sorry little figure to battle against the sharp, cold wind. “Paper, Mi ster?’” The ragged little figure stepped forth from the lamp light. “Why-a-yes, I guess so.” “Perty tuff on Mr. Jim, wasn’t it?” the little fellow ventured sociably. The man in the big warm overcoat looked at him keenly. “Why? Did you know who McGannigan was?” “Well, I should say I did.” He drew himself up proudly beneath his rags. “Why, mister, he was a friend o’ mine.” The big man smiled as he asked curiously: “A friend of yours? How did he happen to know you?” “Why, he used ter buy papers offen me, mister an’ he used ter buy me eats some- times, an’ he used ter give me quartrs an’ stuff and make me keep ’em. Oh! I tell ya’, he wasn’t so bad as they said he was an’ I’d do most anything for him, mister, an’ now somebody’s shot him. I’d like ter catch ’em!” The little fellow clenched his fists and his voice choked. “Hum-m.” The big man started on. “Come around to the station house to- morrow, sonny. I’ll want a paper. Oh, yes, you’ll know me”, as if reading the boy’s thoughts. “Yes, you’ll know me. I-er-just ask to see the Chief of Police and you’ll find me. Good-bye.” “By the way, what’s your name, sonny?” “Tommy. Thomas B. Owen,” was the prompt reply. “G’night.” In the station house there was a breath of unusual excitement and anxious wait- ing. The men, surrounding the sergeant’s desk, bent forward with strained faces and eyes. The sergeant rapped sharply on his desk. The whispering died away. Every- one sat up tense and eager. Prom the door, came sounds of commotion. Pushing thru the group of blue coated men, a thin shriveled figure appeared. He glanced anxiously around the room like a frightened animal, and then spying the sergeant at his desk, ran quickly to him. Oh, Mister, I’ve found ’em. I heard ’em talkin’ en if you hurry you can git ’em. Quick! Mister, I know who shot Mr. Jim.” A stir ran thru the room. The chief started up from his desk. “Where? How? Are you sure? Where are they? How do you know you’re right?” “Last night I was goin’ by the hall to where we live an’ I heard somebody talkin’ on the stairway. I crept over an’ listened an’ heard all about it. They was paid fer shootin’ him, Mister, an’ at ten o’clock one of ’em is goin’ to git the pay, and at eleven they’re to meet in one of them rooms — if you hurry, we kin catch ’em. Mister, if you’d jist hurry.” o a Q 38 D Q o Sometime later a queer covered wagon drove slowly into an alley of the tenement district. The ' horse was old and broken down ; the driver, a slouchy, sleepy looking fellow. Just an old wagon, innocent looking, to be sure, and yet — when it finally came to a stop there was a quick streak of blue as countless policemen hurried into the back door of the tenement. Slowly, slowly, they crept up the flights of stairs, a small ragged figure leading the way. Frightened children stopped to stare and then ran away. Work worn women paused to look with surprise, mingled with wonder, and then stopped to ask the reason from their nearest neighbor. But still the men kept on. At last they paused before a door from which low sounds were ensuing. There were a few whispered orders from the chief and the men scattered to different stations. Like an eagle swoop s upon his unsuspecting prey, so the men of law burst upon the men within the room. Out of windows and doors men disappeared like rats. There was a desperate struggle. The dust rost from the dirty floor and a window crashed as a chair went hurling thru it. A man disappearing down a fire escape, turned and fired a parting shot. There was a flash of fire. The room was flooded with smoke. A smell of burned powder lingered in the air. The Chief started for- ward but was stopped, blinded by the smoke. Suddenly over the noise of the struggle, a voice rose. “Great Heavens, Sergeant! He’s shot the litUe kid!” Tenderly the big brass-buttoned sergeant raised the sorry little figure and ten- derly he carried him to the waiting ambulance below, followed by the rest of the men and two prisoners. That night the snow again fell silently down and from the street was heard the cry — “Extre-e-a, all about the shootin’ of little Tom, the detective newsboy.” FLORENCE PIO, ’18. 0 Si I o p GIKLS CHAMPION BASKET BALL TEAM ATHLETICS IRLS’ AXI) BOYS’ liasket Ball Teams were af aiii orf anized at the hefriiHiiiiif of this year, and under the coaehiiifi of Mr. Worth- in ;ton and Mr. Bpps, some � ’ood woi’k was aeeomjilished by both teams. The hoys wei ' e very suocessful at first but later luck seemed to turn aLuiinst them and they were defeated in most of their frames. The last game of the season was with Hammond and our boys .succeeded in tying the score so we are sure that if they had played moi ' e games they would have been victorious. The girls’ team this year is the first .successful team since 1918-1914. We did not succeed in getting games with other towns until after Christmas but we played the Alumni girls thi ' ee games and were victorious iii two. We tried to get games with several places but Crown Point and Gary were the only ones that had girls’ teams. Feb. 11 we went to Gary and were defeated by a .score of (i-13, but we were not discouraged. Feb. 18 we went to Crown Point and won by a score of 4-6. Feb. 25 Gary came here and we succeeded in defeating them 6-28. We jilayed the last game of the season with Crown Point and we defeated them 1-10. 40 p Q TRACK TEAM We played ifls’ rules with (iary hut in order to get a ame with Crown Point we had to eonsent to ])lay hoys’ rules.

At the hefrinniiifr of the year l liss Sholl started a Physical Culture class and we were all intei’ested in this work, hut after our frames started, Ba.sket Ball took up to much of oui ' time so we had to drop this class.

O THE “HERMES” O r HE HERMES has been published faithfully this year by iliss Oillil- land. It consisted of a soi-t of bulletin hoard on which were kei)t posted clii)] infrs, etc., of especial interest either to the Latin classes or to the whole H. S. This arranfrement was not especially sizeable but has always been kept “chuckle full” of articles on live sub.iects, interestin r photofTrajihs and amusiiifr cartoons. It surely has been en.joyed and l liss (iillilland ' s woi-k is appreciated. EDITOIMX-CHIEE. 41 G D Q= 0 O Q O SOCIAL UK social functions of the Hiffli School are few and far between, hut leave it to our class always to he on the dot when they do come. Usually the Senioi ' s’ ijreatest delifiht is to study, after havin ; wasted time in other years, hut we are an unusual class. Kefiardless of the « ' ood times, we always see that our lessons are up to date. Ill our Freshman year the ffreatest event, which we will lon ; remember, was an April Fool party, at which the Ijatins entertained the (Jermans. Kvery- thing’ was decorated with green, and we were ordered even to wear the color. A truly gorgeous supper was served, which was mostly viewed instead of eaten. When we were Sophomores the foremost affair was the farewell party given by the High School to Miss Quinnell. Although all the cla.sses wished to jire- side in this affair, our class took the lead as we were her room pupils. By this was shown our appreciation of her work with us. In our Junior year we worked very hard to entertain the Senior ela.ss of ’15 in the best possible way and enjoyed every minute of it from beginning to end, as we hope they did. We are curious to know what the Junior ela.ss has in store for us. Another important event of our Junior year was the High School picnic held on WAnlnesday of commencement week. As school was so nearly over, e.sjiecially for the Seniors, every one seemed to drop all bonds of school-room dignity and entered into baseball, tug-of-war, three-legged races, sack races, and the eats, with all their pent up energy. In our Senior year we have had many good times. The first was on Octo- ber thirtieth, when the Oermans gave the Ijatins a Hallowe’en masipierade in the tfymnasium. After being led througb manj ' creejiy places, we were finally deposited in the Oym, where games had been arranged. When lunch was to be served we were taken out into the o[)en air. Here a large fire greeted us and we toasted marshmallows and roasted “wienies.” On November third, the two Chester girls entertained the Seniors and their friends at their home near Ainsworth. This was not especially a Senior affair, as many outsiders were invited. Nevertheless every one reported a very en- joyable time. On i Iarch third a Bo.x Social was given by the Juniors for the benefit of the reception. This was held in the Auditorium. Although the crowd was (piite small, a total of thirty-two dollars was realized, which will certainly be turned to good use. Although we haven’t any Senior day to tell about, we are now waiting our chances. Jlost of the Seniors think it be.st to wait until after the Semester, and undoubtedly the teachers think so, too. As our school year is not rpiite ended, we are looking forward to the pleas- ures of the last days, especially the Junior Reception, of which we get slight hints once in a while.

Besides the attainment of a goal through hal ' d work and perseverance, it represents pleasant study under congenial instructors, happy social times and daily companionship. These will make us more nearly independent, more intelligent readers, more desirable comrades, more appreciative listeners, and more competent helpers. We have chosen as our motto: “Live pure, speak true, right wrong’’. What great possibilities for us all lie in those words, — po.ssibilities for the girls in whatever jiresent vocation they may choose and eventually in homemaking; possibilities for the boys in the business or professio nal world. “Live pure!’’ What higher goal could we set ourselves? We do not take this to mean that we should draw ourselves away from the world and its troubles but that we should face it with a strong heart full of quick sympathy for others but sensitive as to our owncourse. We wish to know the truth and speak it. Our High School experience will help us to .speak our own true thoughts when the time comes. Not only do we hope to live pure lives, have our own individual views and express them, but we expect to be active — to perform deeds of kindiie.ss, mercy and valor. We shall try to be ready and willing to take the initiative and do thoroughly our appointed tasks. Tonight we are the class of 1916, a unit, at our temporary goal — Commence- ment. Tomorrow we will be graduates, each starting out on a new and separate path. Then, more surely, may our threefold motto ever rule our threefold lives. “Live pure, speak true, right wrong.’’ May purity dwell in our hearts, truth shine clear in our mental horizon, and uprightness govern our actions.

But there never was a time when it paid quite so well as now. Gary has under construction new industries to the extent of nearly $50,000,000. This means that within the next two years the population will be more than doubled. These new industries, and the large number of offices that will open up as a result of the increase in population, will need literally hundreds of young men and young women for their stenographic, clerical and secretarial work. Even now The Demand Is Greater Than the Supply Within the past month we have had nearly 50 calls for office help. We have used every available graduate from our Gary, Hammond and LaPorte Schools, have telegraphed to business colleges in other cities for help, but a number of these positions remain unfilled. And the boom isn t yet started. What will it be when it gets under full swing? Our Graduates Are Making Good Y ou will find them in practically every leading business house in the Calumet dis- trict. Every young man and young woman from Hobart who has completed our course of study has a good position. What they have done you can do, for the opportunities are greater than ever before. Enter Our School as Soon as Your School Closes Time is too valuable to spend three or four months loafing. The summer vacation idea is a mistake. Y ou had better be busy than idle. Three months vacation means three months loss of salary, — more than enough to pay your entire expenses through our school. Write at once for full information.
