Ewigleben • � : Mr. Fowble is so much our friend that we often do not think of him as one of the traditional governing authorities who arc so engrossed in the greatness of their high station that they fail to be aware of the other mem- bers of the human race. Mr. Fowble will be remembered for his interest in student affairs and his great concern for the welfare of the student body. While the Board of Education is not so closely associated with the stu- ments as the other memebrs of the school organization, the part that they plav in our school affairs is appreciated none the less. I o the present School Board, particularly, we owe much as a result of the successful way they have managed the school. We arc always pleased to have the members of the Board take an active part in any of the student affairs that appeal to them. . IN APPRECIATION The Annual Staff hereby expresses its sincere appreciation to Mr. Fowble for the valuable suggestions and cheerful encouragement that he has given us in the publication of this book. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiuNimiiii Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllu ltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll;. , llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!lllllllllll H. E. MOGLE Principal Chemistry and Science Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Ind. Mr. Mogle came to us as Principal qf H. S. H. at the mid-year vacation after his service with Uncle Same was ended. Although he has been with us but a short time, he has now the friendship of the students because of his interest in high school activities. Mr. Mogle has been the faculty ad- visor for the advertising department of the Aurora and was able to bring it through with a sum far beyond ex- pectations, long before the usual time for closing. Furthermore, Mr. Mogle has been sponsor for the Freshmen and has succeeded in getting them in- terested in school activities. We wish to express our appreciation of the work he has done for us during our school term and the interest he has taken in the welfare of all the stu- dents. MISS MAKY PORTMESS History Most of the Seniors will remember Miss Portmess as their seventh and eighth grade teacher in the other building. It would seem that she ap- preciates our value for she has fol- lowed us into the high school and now has charge of the History work there and among the lower classes. All the students realize that Miss Portmess has high aims in her school work and that her influence is always for the best interests of the students. She takes an active part in the affairs of her classes and through her work as sponsor for the Juniors has rendered fine service in encouraging clean and wholesome school activities. Miss Portmess is herself a graduate of this high school and many of her friends will be interested to know that she will be back again next year. MISS DAISY ROWE Arithmetic, English Although Miss Rowe is engaged mainly with the lower classes, she has a wide acquaintance throughout the entire school. In many ways she has been one of the most helpful teachers the Seniors have had, having guided them safely through the grades and into the high school. She is compan- ionable with all the students and is always doing her best to boost their interests. She enjoys a good joke in her classes but firmly believes that work is work. Miss Rowe has no doubt done more for us than any or us realize, and we certainly do ap- preciate her interest in our welfare. She has signified her intention of com- ing back next year, which fact, we are sure will be gratifying to every- one.

She has charge of the English work in the high school and upper grades. Owing to the fact that her interest in the law profes- sion and certain of its followers seems to be so far in advance of her desire for teaching, we do not believe that she will be with us next year. MISS ELLEN MALONE Mathematics We are very proud to claim Miss Malone as a home product, she being graduated from the Hobart High School. If you are in her classes, we advise you to carefully consider your conduct, for although she may not say much, she will think, and that is what counts when finals are given. She is always ready to lend a hand to those needing help, and enjoys attending student affairs and helps them to plan a good time. Miss Malone is sponsor of the Sophomore class and has guided them safely through the year. She has signified her intention of coming back next fall, an announcement we are sure will be very gratifying to everyone. MISS MARY McLINN Music, Drawing Chicago Musical College Miss McLinn came to us some two years ago as Supervisor of Music course. She has worked diligently with the students in the various kinds of art and the singing of the chorus is the familiar sound coming from the Auditorium during the last four of the day. Though she is fond of day dreams and meditations we believe that next year will find her still a member of the faculty. MRS. JAMES CARTER (Miss Eunice Roper) English After having been instructor in English for several years. Miss Roper left us last February to become Mrs. J. Carter. She was a popular and energetic teacher and her resignation was keenly felt by the students and faculty. However, we were lucky to have Miss Roper with us as long as we did. and the faculty and student body all join in extending to her their thanks for what she has done for the school and a wish for her future hap- piness.

This is her sec- ond year with us as instructor in Do- mestic Arts. Her work makes it pos- sible for her to come in contact with members of all classes, and many of the high school girls have enjoyed working under her instruction. The members of the High School will be glad to learn that Miss Smith will be back at her post next fall. MISS IRENE SEXTON Commercial State Normal School, Oshkosh, Wis. Although Miss Sexton has been with us but one year, she has made herself very popular with the students. Miss Sexton is known to most of the up- per classmen through the medium of Commercial courses. By this means they have finally come to reealize that their knowledge of Arithmetic was mainly traditional. However, the students appreciate the value of Miss Sexton’s work, either as a member of her class or as one of her many friends throughout the school. She has decided to remain with us for another year. MISS ELLEN GRIFFITH Latin Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa Miss Griffith came to us this year from Ashton, Illinois, and has in- structed in Latin and Public Speak- ing, as well as coached the high school play and contestants. Both of these undertakings have proven suc- cessful and she has won for herself much respect and esteem from the stu- dents as well as from the other mem- bers of the faculty. As sponsor for the Senior class she has shown her- self to be a valuable friend and ad- visor, and we are glad to say that she will be a member of the Faculty next year. DON I. FRACE Principal of Grades Grammar University of Michigan Although Principal of the grades, Mr. Frace has duties in the Junior High School, and is seen on our side of the building most of the time. In addition to his school activities, Mr. Frace is Master for the Boy Scouts and as such conducts the youth into and sometimes out of that organiza- tion. As a teacher, Mr. Frace has done much toward making his line of work interesting to all students, and for the most part the students realize the benefit of being in his classes. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !I!I!IIIIIIII!IIIII!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM 12 THE A U R O E A ll!llllllll!llllllll!lllll!llllllllllill!llllllllllllll!llllllllllll!lllll!llllllll!llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!ll!illlliilM IIIIII)i :illlllll!llll1llllll]tl!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllillllllllllll[llllllllllllllllll![ll!lllll!llllllllllllllillllillllllll!!lll!lllllllllll!llllllllllllllllll!llllllillllllllllllllll[!illlllllllllll!lllllllllllllll!lilllllllllM THE AURORA 13 l!llll!llllllllllllllllllllillllllllll!lllllllllllllllllll!!lll!llllllllllllll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllM iiiiiiiMiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiininiwiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim SENIOR CLASS HISTORY By DOROTHY WOOD, T9 Of the nine in this year ' s graduating class, only five are what might be termed the “great originals.” As infants, we came with our fond mammas to school for the first time. Miss Bailey welcomed us and we straightway fell in love with her. Somehow we happened to stick together through our toothless days and at last we were what we thought young ladies and gentle- men, when we passed “upstairs” into Miss Rowe’s room. When we were in the fifth grade the departmental system was established. It was very suc- cessful but I am afraid we were just a trifle confused at first in passing from one room to another. In the seventh grade a shy little girl whom you wouldn’t recognize as “Ola” joined us. We had gathered all the bad boys of the school into our class and when I think of the stunts we used to “pull off” I wonder how so many of us lived without a few broken bones. Our class was such an unusual one that the school authorities thought it advisable to establish mid-year promotions. Oh ! how we studied to finish a year’s work in a half a year, but we all did it. We entered “High” at the end of the first Semester and caused a good deal of excitement. Our “pep” and “go” made us popular and the rest of the high school folks sighed when they thought of our futures. The next fall found Wilma and Willard waiting to join us. Our original class had grown smaller and the new members were made welcome. Because the school was so crowded, they tucked us away into a room upstairs far re- moved from everyone else, but we were happy and were the envy of the rest of the school. The Great War had found some of our boys ready, two members of our class made the supreme sacrifice and now sleep in soldier’s graves in France. As Juniors we directed all our energy to helping “win the war.” In place of the usual receiption, we gave a dancing party to the Seniors and donated the proceeds, fifty dollars, to the Red Cross. During this busy year Alice came from West Virginia to be in our class and help us. This, our Senior year, has been rather discouraging because of the time lost during the influenza epidemic, but we are trying to make up for lost time this semester. On the whole, our school life has been so interesting and pleasant that we are sorry to find it so nearly completed.

Being “Freshies, ' ’ of course, we did not do very much work that year. In September, 1917, we came back to the school as Sophomores. That year was a busy one, as our history teacher asked us to attend the lectures of Dr. Linton on the war. Miss Gillilland supervised us in the making of posters for the various drives that were carried on by the government and societies of note. It was during our second year that Glenn Burris joined our ranks. Many new teachers greeted us when we returned as Juniors last fall, and we found that we had to accustom ourselves to many new rules. Under the direction of Miss Portmess we entertained the members of the high school by a production of note. Class dues were collected from us for the first time this year.

Though composed of only three boys and twelve girls, we will, no doubt, be remembered as the most studious (or laziest), most business-like (or disorganized), and most disliked class in school. In the fall of 1918, we as a class came into the Hobart High School and thought that we knew all that there was to know. We became very much confused while trying to find the rooms for our various classes, and as a result we went to the English room to recite Latin and vice versa. During the second semester we learned more and looked down upon the newcomers, forgetting that we were still Freshmen ourselves. At the beginning of this school year all but a few came back and found that we had a new corps of teachers, as our old Principal, Superintendent, Latin teacher and others had left. Then came the “flu” and we had two months’ vacation, but we managed to get through with the first semester’s work. At the beginning of the second semester a new English teacher came to take the place of “Polly,” who left us. In closing this brief history of the Sophomore class, I will say this has proved to be one of the most flourishing years for the class of 1921. ..•� jt CLASS OFFICERS President Dorothea Crisman Vice-president Edna W eaver Treasurer Ida Maclver Secretary Herbert Carlson .j -M SOPHOMORE CLASS ROLL Carlson, Gideon Carlson, Herbert Croan, Violet Cavender, Clinton Crisman, Dorothea Friedrich, Martin Isakson, Walter Johnson, Edna Jordan, Rita Hill Leonora Miss Ellen Ma Keppel, Ira Maclver, Eda Nelson, Grace Paine, Alice Rodd, Franklin Scheidt, Edward Stark, Freida Weaver, Edna Ward, Mary Wood, Marion i, Faculty Advisor mu min ' - iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiii THE AURORA 29 iisiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiM iiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiijiniim !!iil!llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllll!l!llll!lllllllllllllllll!llll!lllll!iilllllll!lllllli!llllllllllllltfl|l!IIIM iHniiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiniiliiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiNiiiiiiiiiiiin THE AURORA 31 lilllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllBllillM iiiiiiiiliiilliiilliiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiitiiiiiiiiiiliiiiliiiiiiiiiliiniiliiiiiiiiliHiiiiiiliiliiiiiliiiiiiH ' iiiiiliiiwiiii FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY By MARION PAXTON, ’22 Early on the morning of the third of September the Freshman class entered the old Hobart High School building to battle against the storms of high school life. One of the first things to overcome was the jibes and jests of the older students. After a few days our feeling of “greenness” wore off and we went to work with a good will. The class worked in unison and covered all the first term’s work even though we lost two itionths on account of the influenza. Several members of the class left school for various reasons during the first half of the year. On the fourteenth of February the Principal of the high school called a meeting of the class and the officers were elected as follows: Marion Paxton, President; Verva De France, Vice-president; Lynn Peterson, Secretary and Treasurer. There was a social committee appointed as follows: Louise Niksch, Bessie Nitchman, Gerald Keilman, Wayne Nelson, and Marion Pax- ton. We arc proud of our large class and will strive to retain our large number. m Members of the Freshman Class Elizabeth Abel Joe Brozowsky Corwin Black Margaret Blanchard Ethel Carfson Elizabeth Davenport Verva De France Nick Droklich Cleo Elkins Emil Ewigleben Fred Hendrichs John Hawke Mabel Hartin Ruth Hollister Leonard Johnson Mildred Jahnke Lawrence Kostbade Gerald Keilman Leslie Krull Edith Looker Walter Miller Agnes McClaim Laverne Manteuffel Wayne Nelson Hazel Nelson Louise Niksch Harold Nelson Lynn Peterson Marion Paxton Harold Peterson Lecna Raschka Edward Scheidt Martin Struebing Harry Skaggs Clara Schwalbe Josephine Thyne Grace Traeger Bessie Nitchman Mr. H.

Aa in the high school, the work is arranged on the departmental plan, thus giving the pupil the advantage of coming in daily contact with teachers differing in temperament and personality. This plan insures uniform interest and efficiency in. the presentation of the different subjects. The pupils early become accustomed to the routine of high school work and are much more likely to remain in school during the next four years. Hobart is very proud of her large J onior High School and hopes that its members of 1919 will become loyal and industrious members of the Senior High School. Members of the Junior High School share some of the advantages of the Senior High School, which lessens the gap between these departments, and is an incentive for the pupils to finish the regular high school course. The present enrollment of ninety in the Junior High School is the largest ever recorded in the Hobart Schools.

Until a few years ago the emphasis was put on work to advance the latter class of pupils. However, this idea is changing. The fact is recognized that far more people enter the work-a-day world when they finish high school than go to college. For this reason the emphasis is shifting from the classical to the practical. In Hobart High School three years of English are required. During the first two years, oral and written compositions are given frequently by the pupils. This work helps each to express himself and to convey his ideas forcefully to his audience. In addition to Rhetoric, each class reads and studies several standard works of literature, as: Dickens’ “Oliver Twist,” Shake- speare’s “Macbeth,” and George Eliot’s “Silas Marner.” These books arc used so that the pupil may see how renouned writers have expressed them- selves and so that he may learn to enjoy the better class of literature. The history of English Literature from the time the first ballads were sung to the present day fiction, is studied in the third year. This course adheres, in a measure, to the college preparatory plan. The relative value of English and other high school subjects is scarcely debatable when one realizes that English is needed to understand History. Science, or any other subject. It is necessary to speak correctly to advance in the business or in the social world. English is therefore essential to all persons in every situation in life. On November eleventh the people of Hobart went wild with joy and happiness over the confirmed report that Germany had signed the armistice terms. The demonstration of their loyalty and patriotism was shown by the fervor and energy put forth to the complete celebration of the day. At dawn there arose upon the frofety air the clanging of bells, shooting of guns, and blowing of whistles. As the day progressed, the downtown district began to present a surging crowd of people. The school was suspended and the entire population, including people from the country districts for miles around, joined in the peace celebration. At nine o’clock people with flags and smiling faces and cheerful hearts assembled at Fourth Street to parade, a wonderful demonstration of the peo- ple who love peace not alone for themselves at home, but for the people of all nations of the world. The parade was headed by Company K, the home militia company, and was led by Marshal Rose through the principal streets. iMiHiiMnHiiiiiniiiiuiiiniiiiiiiiuHiiiiiiiiHiiiiinii:niiiiiHiiiniiiHiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiniuiiiiiiHiiMiiiiiiuiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiniiimiiimiiiiniii!iil|iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiuuiillluiliii il!!lill!lllllllllllllllllllllll!lll!llllllllllll!llllllll!lllllllllllllllll!llll|||||l!llll|||||||||illl|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||l||||||||||||!||||||||||||l!l ENGLISH LIBERTY DAY IN HOBART THE AURORA 43 lillllllllllilll|||llll!llllllllllllllllllll!ll The parade itself was composed of men, women and children and was nearly a mile long. When tired out the paraders assembled south of the Nickel Plate tracks, where Attorney R. R. Peddicord proposed three cheers for President Wilson, the Allied Generals in France, the American soldiers in France, and the mothers of those in service. The cheering was followed by a moment of silent prayer, after which the crowd disbanded. The day was involuntarily recognized as a holiday, for the good news electrified the people as they had never before been aroused. They continued celebrating throughout the day and night as was the general custom of all nations of the world. The wishes of the people were that this would be an everlasting peace and bring with it the return of the boys from “Over There.” It will be a grand welcoming home. Hurrah ! Verva De France. ,« SUBMARINES AND THE SECRET SERVICE MAN By LOIS GROSS It was in this last great war for democracy that a certain secret service man, by name, C. A. Johnson, found himself in a very trying position. He wished to do all he could for the grand old U. S. A. and to prove his worth and loyaltv, he entered the foreign secret service work. He had been abroad several times and it was while he was across the last time that the following incident took place. For several days Johnson had been watching a suspicious looking per- son, who was, to all appearances, a little old lady. However, this queer char- acter later was discovered to be a man disguised in woman’s clothing. Each night she would carefully take her odd looking satchel into a little old weather-beaten house. Before going in she would look carefully all about her. Johnson was curious and did not know just what to think about it. “Well I declare,” he ejaculated. “This puzzles me, but if it is in my power to do so, I shall find out what this means.” One night after the woman had entered the house as usual, he came forth from his hiding place and started toward the house. As he approached a man stepped out and commanded him to halt. Then came several others from the house. Johnson tried his best to escape but it was of no avail. He was cap- tured, dragged into the house, bound band and foot, and cruelly beaten till iilliiniiiu inn Jilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 44 THE AURORA !i!:il!!lllil!llllllllllllllll!lllllllll!lllllllllllllll!lll!llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllllllll!IIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIM l||||||||||||||l1llll!l!lllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllll!IIIIINIIIIII!lll!llllllllllll!llllll]llllll!IIIIM!llllll!lllllllll|lilll lllllll!i;illlIIIIIII!lllllllllllll!llll llllllllll!IIMIIlllll!lllllllllllllllltlMlllfllllll[llllllllllllllllllllllirilllll!IMIHIIIIinillH,illl[IHiHllllllUIII they thought he would never survive. They dragged him into one corner and went on with their work as though nothing had happened. After a while Johnson became conscious again, but made no disturbance. He found to his joy that they had thrown him near the fireplace. So with clever movement, he got himself in such a position as to burn the rope from his hands. He burned his hands very badly, but he thought not of himself but of the puzzel he was trying to solve. He escaped through a small open- ing without notice, but he stayed close enough to hear what the men said when they found he had gone. “Well,” said one, “I bet he will not come around again where he hasn’t any business.” After an interval of low conversation they came forth from the house. As they approached Johnson recognized the same voice which he had heard speaking before. “Boys, this submarine will sure knock those fiery Yank ships all to pieces.” Johnson was aroused by this remark and followed the group closely. They proved to be Germans as he could plainly tell from their accent. On the following evening he dressed himself as nearly like them as was possible and went to their place of meeting. When accosted again by the guards he answered in their language. “Fellowmen, the most high officer in the Fatherlands’ Navy sent me to bring your well worked plans.” Without any doubt they handed over the plans, thinking they would re- ceive a great reward for their new invention. But alas ! not so, for the Ger- man officers never even so much as laid hands on the plans. Johnson im- mediately hid the plans and took the next transport home to America. When once more safe in the good old U. S. A., he felt free to bring out the plans. He did so and at once presented them to the government. They proved to be very finely worked out designs for a submarine. Once again an American secret service man was too witty for the Germans. llllllllllllllllllHlllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!l!lillllllll!llllllllll!|ll!llilin !!l!S!l!llllll!llllllllilllllllllllllll!l!lllllllll!llllllllllllll!IIIIIIIIIIIM THE AURORA 45 liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniii iiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiniiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiniiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniH« ALONE IN CHICAGO (An Original True Story From Grammar 7A) By LOIS BOYD It was a cold bleak day in Chicago. The snow was blowing and the wind was howling. I had been visiting my aunt and was going home. I had my ticket and had started to get on the train, when the conductor told me the train did not stop at my town. I went back to the station to look for my aunt. She had gone, so I sat down to think what 1 could do. I was rather frightened because I had never been in Chicago alone before. I went to the ladies’ waiting room and sat down to read a magazine which I had bought. 1 had not read very long before I was interrupted by a woman who wore the uniform of a matron. “Are you traveling alone?” she asked. “Yes,” I answered. “What is your name?” I told her. “Where did you come from?” “I have been visiting my aunt in Chicago,” I answered. Then the matron went away and did not come back for a long time. I was half amused and half frightened at her questions. After a while she came back with an official looking person. He took me to his private office. “How old are you?” he asked. “I am twelve years old.” “Have you ever been to Akron, Ohio?” he asked again. “No, sir,” I answered. “Can you prove in any way that you are Lois Boyd of Hobart, Indiana?” “I will give you my aunt’s telephone number,” I said. “I have some let- ters also.” “Show me the letters.” 1 gave them to him. They were addressed to me and seemed to satisfy any questions which he had in regard to my identity. “Would you please explain a little?” I asked. “In Akron, Ohio, a girl of your age disappeared. She was twelve years old and you answer to her discription. Her mother is almost frantic and has wired all the railroad stations,” he said. They then put me in charge of a lady who helped me on the train for Hobart. mini I 111111111:1111 HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1IIIM 46 THEAURORA l!lilllllllll!lllilllll!illl!!llllillllllll!lllllllllll!lll!llllllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllllllllllllllll inininiiiii , iiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!i:!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiii!iiiiniiiiiiui!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiii DRAMA “Honor and shame from no condition rise ; Act well your part, there all honor lies.” — Pope. “THE MAGISTRATE,” by A.

Clinton Cavendar .Walter Isackson .Martin Fredricks . . . . Harry Skaggs Leslie Krull On Friday, April the eleventh, the above cast of characters presented Arthur Wing Pinero’s three-act farce, “The Magistrate.” The whole plot centers around the vanity of Mrs. Posket, w T ho has said that she is thirty-one instead of thirty-six, and that her son, Cis, is fourteen instead of nineteen. Naturally there are many absurd and amusing scenes arising from such an unusual situation. Mrs. Posket’s second husband, the Magistrate, is a good- natured, easy-going man who pays half the fines inflicted in his court. In order to shield his wife, Mr. Posket goes with his stepson to the Hotel dc Princes, Meek Street, and in the course of the evening, finds himself hiding under the same table with his wife, who has come to the Hotel de Princes to beg Colonel Lukyn not to reveal her real age to Mr. Posket. Of course poor Cis’ real age cannot be concealed longer and in the end, all are happier to know the real truth. Walter Miller and Gideon Carlson made a very amusing son and father, while Margaret Gerber and Emma Carstensen were the long-parted sisters. Splendid acting was done by Dorothy Wood and Helen Linkhart, who were servants in the Posket household. The judicial men in the cast were Ray Kostbade, Robert Frank, Walter Isaakson, Lynn Peterson and Clinton Cav- iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiniiiiniiiiiiiiiin I!m!!I!I!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!IIII1IIIIIII!IIIIIIIIII!IIIIIIIM THE AURORA 47 l!!IPIIIIIII!!llllilllllll!ll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllill!lllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!IIIIM endar. They zealously upheld the law, which as Bullamy said, “seemed most perfect in all cases.” The servant, Wyke, added humor to the play in his own quiet way, while the hotel owner, Blond, and his odd French servant, Isadore, were truly worried about keeping the hotel open longer than the law allowed. The soldiers, Colonel Lukyn and Captain Vale, did some clever acting in the scene in the hotel. In summary, we may say that each person on the cast forgot his personality as a member of the Hobart High School, and, for this one evening, belonged with the Magistrate and his friends. No doubt everyone in the audience passed an enjoyable evening and will agree with critics that the “Magistrate” is worthy of a place among the five best farces in the English language. iliiiiimiiiiiimiimimmiimiimiimiimiimiimiiiimiimiimiiiimiiiiiiii min iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiinii IP!llll!l!llllllllllllllll!llllillllllllllllll!lllllllll!llllll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll|l||||IP 48 THE AURORA IlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllSIl ' IlliW Illlllllllllll I Hobart High School, as a member of the Lake County Oratorical As- sociation, has been represented for many years in the oratorical contests held at Gary. The school has entered all sections: musical, dramatic and oratorical. In 1918, Miss Dora Owens won second place in the readings. This year several members of the Public Speaking class entered the oratorical contest. In our preliminary contest, held in the Auditorium, Gladys Humes, Marion Paxton, Mildred Wild, and Anna Hideen presented the following read- ings: 1 he Death Disk, ' “Gmeyns’ Canyon,” “The Man in the Shadow,” and “Within the Law.” The county contest this year was held at Gary, April 25. Hobart sent a large delegation in addition to the contestants, and was given the first choice of seats. “Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounce it to you, trippingly on the tongue: but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town crier spoke my lines.” ’Tis thus that Hamlet gave instructions to his players, so we realize that the art of Public Speaking is as old as the race itself, but it is only in comparatively recent times that we have given it special study in our Secondary Schools. Some people hold a false conception of Public Speaking and think of it as a highly dramatic and oratorical style of speaking. However, public speaking is fast becoming a practical and busi- ness-like study, adapted to every day life. The study and comparison of ancient and modern drama enables the student to really appreciate the plays which he sees. Practice in debates gives quickness of thought while standing and speaking. The competitive nature of debate tends to heighten the interest of all. Subjects of local and national interest always appeal to the student and furnish excellent subjects for speeches. Some people are handicapped in their business, professional, and political careers by a diffidence and a lack of confidence in their own powers of speech. This unfortunate circumstance should be understood and met by the presentation of a course in Public Speaking in all high schools and colleges. The Public Speaking class in Hobart High School has always been popular and the members have been prominent in debate, contests and dramas.

It is the best equipped laboratory in our science course, so far as that goes, but there is a great need for a new laboratory, and we expect to have it next year. The present room is very poorly ventilated, the lighting is bad, and half the room is under ground. There are no gas hoods to prevent the escape of gases from the room, and most of the time the pupils complain of headaches, because of the poorly ventilated conditions. This science is one of the most important today in the commercial world, and during the war, men who knew Chemistry well rose from the rank of private to become Majors and Colonels. The experiments follow the text closely and anything not thoroughly worked out in class is completed in the laboratory. It is a very interesting subject because of its experimental phases and the student , above all, learns that accuracy, thoughtfulness, and carefullness are the things that count for success in the course. , , PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY Physical Geography is a Freshman subject. The nature of the course is so different from the grade work that it is practically a new thing, to the student. The physical, commercial, and economic conditions of the earth are discussed in such a way that a broader view of the world is given than could be obtained from the common geography. Economic and commercial porb- lems are brought before the student because he sees them as they happen around him, so naturally, it is of great interest to a beginner in high school. COMMERCIAL COURSE By ANNA HIDEEN, ’19 Bookkeeping, Commercial Arithmetic, Stenography and Typewriting are the subjects offered in the Hobart High School Commercial Course. We were Juniors when we started our business course. Our Bookkeep- ing class consisted of five enthusiastic workers, all eager to learn everything given. The second semester of the Junior year we started Stenography with six students under Mr. Thompson. This year we found that four of our members had dropped out, leaving two of us, a small but determined class.

The Commercial Arithmetic class is made up of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. This was easy for us as it was partly a review of the arithmetic in the grades. There are two typewriting classes. The chief delight of the members in this class is to see how fast they can make the keys go. Accuracy, speed and neatness are the essentials in a business course. ' n conclusion we wish to express our gratitude to Miss Sexton for the intei cst she has in our work, and for her patience, which remained forever unchanged. •A ■ ATHLETICS For the last few years there has been no athletics in Hobart High School. Within two years the high school will grow to at least one hundred and fifty students judging by the size of the present graduating class from the eighth grade. We belong to the State Athletic Association pay our dues regularly, merely to hold membership, and what have we to show for it? The school certainly needs a new Gymnasium, or at least a suitable place in which to play until a new gym can be built. Back of the present plant is a splendid space to erect such a building. It would not cost so very much and the good such an addition would do for our standing in the state would be well worth the cost. Athletics make the boys and girls take an interest in their high school work which study and grind alone will not do. We want to make Hobart High School one of the coming schools in the state conference. Athletics advertise — besides helping the boys and girls physically. It gives them an interest in their work that all work and no play will not do. Help us boost for a new Gymnasium ! : HISTORY “The time of conquest is past. It is not by extending the boundaries of its territory that a nation can henceforward be honored and powerful, but by placing itself at the head of generous ideas and spreading everywhere the empire of justice and right.” — Louis Napoleon. A History course is offered students in the second, third and fourth years of the high school. The first year’s work includes ancient and oriental, Eng- IllllllllllllllUlllllillllllltllllllllll I !l!lllllllllll!llllllllllllllllllll!lllll u mum IIIIIIIIU I I niniiilf mini lllllllll!llllllllllillllllllllllllll ' !!illllllllllllflllllllll!l!

The second ' year’s work, as reorganized in the new text book, is devoted mainly to the study of European History of the eighteenth and nineteenth cen- turies. This gives an opportunity for intensive study of the vast changes of the last two centuries which is so essential to an intelligent understanding of the conditions and problems of today. A primary aim of instruction in American History in the Senior year is to develop a vivid conception of American nationality, a strong and intelligent patriotism, and a keen sense of the responsibility of every citizen for national efficiency. During the second semester of this year a short course in Civics is taken up to prepare the high school students for the proper exercise of their duties and privileges as American citizens. The preparation for this includes a knowledge of the structure and functions of our system of government, a familiarity with the affairs of today as connected with the work of govern- ment and also some training of the judgment in connection with practical subjects so that the pupils may understand the truth about the problems of government. A sympathetic understanding of nations other than our own and an in- telligent appreciation of their contributions to civilization is developed through the study of the best weekly current literature by all Tfigh School History classes. Si v Si LATIN By DOROTHY WOOD, ’19 During the last few years there had been a tendency to break away from the study of Latin in high schools, but with the discontinuing of the study of German, Latin is again playing an important part. The practical value of Latin is more in evidence today than it ever has been. In our associations with the people of Europe, the soldiers have found Latin to be of great value in the study of French, as the French and Italian languages are over ninety per cent Latin. So many thousands of our own words are derived from the Latin and to make us realize this fact one of our instructors required us to make lists of English words derived from the Latin. The majority of our class (which was a large one when we entered high school) decided to study Latin as a part of their course. Miss Gillilland was our teacher and I am quite sure we were very good “beginners.” We studied the “little red book” and “Yirae Romae” the first year. The next year was our Caesar class and by this time our “very large” class had dwindled down considerably. Miss Gillilland read “The Standard Bearer” (a story in which lil!lllllllllilllllllllllill!lllllll|l!llilllll!lllllllll|ll!!ll!llilllllll!llllllllllilllllll|||||||||||ffi !!iill ' llllllllll!lilllllllllllllllllllllll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!lll!llllllllllll!llllll 52 T HE AURORA IHiillllllllBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIillllllllllllllM the customs of the day were brought forth) and we kept note books upon the story and at the end of the year prizes were awarded to those who had the best books. I still have my prize, an oriental belt, and I am very proud of it, for it means many hours’ work). We gave two Latin plays this year, “The Roman School” and “Roman Wedding” and for a time at least, we “lived as the Romans did.” When we were Juniors we read Cicero’s “Orations.” Our Latin Club, the “Romanus Sodalitas,” was influential in procuring two pictures, “The School of the Vestals” and “Cicero’s Oration Against Cataline” for the Latin room. We played, “Cicero Consules” and “Andromache” for the high schools and friends. This year we have a new instructor, Miss Griffith. There are two large classes in beginning Latin, one in Caesar, and one in Vergil. The beginning classes are using verb blanks which are a great help to the pupils. We have been unable to have any festivities this year because we were closed so long during the Influenza epidemic and w T e are studying a great deal to cover our required course. 8 8 MATHEMATICS By WILMA CULLMAN, ’19 Mathematics, an interesting and useful subject, is a study, the knowledge of which we need in all walks of life. Such knowledge was needed in ancient and medieval times, and without it today no engineering proposition or busi- ness transaction could be undertaken. It is therefore evident that mathe- matics should be studied earnestly by everyone who enters high school. The present high school course in mathematics requires one year of Algebra and one year of Geometry. Solid Geometry and Commercial Arith- metic, both half-year subjects, are elective. When the class of 1919 entered high school we were introduced to Algebra by Mr. A. G. Epps. We thought w t c were wise in that subject but we quickly found out that we had touched only the dust on the cover in our grade work. W e soon learned to substitute letters of the alphebet for numbers and after much correcting arrived at our answers. One of the hardest parts was learn- ing the seven cases. When we had mastered Algebra, as best we could, we patiently waited for the time to come when we would get into the much talked of and most wonderful subject of Geometry. When, during our Sophomore year we were once into the subject, we solemnly swore that we would be glad when we lllllllllllllllllllllllll Hllllill Illllllllllllllllllllll I Illllllllll iiiiiiiiiiiiiii; !lll!llllllllllllllllll!lllllll!!llllllllll!ll!lllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!ll!lillll!lll!!llllllllllllllllllllll I Nllllll llllll!!lllllllllllllll!!illlllllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllffl iiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiui«iii:i llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!llllll!!!!!!!!l!ll!!l!l!l THE AURORA 53 :illl!!llii!lfli:illll!lllll!lllllllllll!lllllllllilllll!llllllllll!lllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll itiiiiiiimihiiiiiiiii ' ii;ii M-tinimiiiiiiiiiiii were through with it, for there was an awful nrxture of quadrilaterals, tri- angles, and circles, which several of our members found tco hard to cope with. That year we learned that Mr. Epps wasn’t coming back the following year, so we didn’t want to go on with Geometry, but another half year was necessary, so we waited and wondered. In our third year, M. J. Baker greeted us. .He was we ' l liked and we were getting a good start when he was called into nrlitary sendee. Mr. La Rue came to finish out the work, and under his direct’on, we finished plane geom- etry that semester. When it came time to decide how many of us would take Solid Geometry, every one thought he had had enough Geometry, so no class : n Solid Geometry was arranged for that year. During our Senior year most of us took Com- mercial Arithmetic under the guidance of Miss Sexton, wh : lc Miss Malone piloted a Solid Geometry class through many complicated lessons. In closing we wish to thank the teachers who have so patiently hammered mathematics into us and made us feel the need of that very important and interesting subject. • sS DOMESTIC SCIENCE By GRACE SMALI EY, ’19 Domestic Science, as taught in the Hobart High School, includes in- structions in cooking and sewing. Two periods of ninety minutes each week are given to cooking, one to recitation, and the other to laboratory work. No text book is used as a satisfactory text is not known, but the department library contains some reference works. The pupils are required to keep note books in which each lesson is entered. It is necessary that a course for high school girls be sunple, yet logical in its order, and thorough in its scope, that the pupil may learn to value health and knowledge relating therein and that they may become skillful, contented workers in our greatest institution, the home. Scientific instruction and actual practice should go hand in hand. Prac- tice without guiding, makes the work mechanical and uninteresting. Theory without practice is unreal and profitless. Pupils are set to work on real problems such as are encountered in actual home work. In cooking, the preparation of actual meals is encouraged, and the im- portance of home practice is emphasized. Every effort is made to have the girls practice at home the things they have learned at school, as in Physics HlllllllilllllllllllllillilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllillllllillllllltlllllllllH lllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllHlIlllM 54 THE A U R O R A lllllllllllll!llllll!llflillll!l!lllllllllll|ll!IUIIII!lll lllilllll!lllllllllllllllllllillllll!llllllllffi D!lllllllllllllll1lllllllllli!llllllllllll!lllllllllll!lllllll!!ll!!lllll!llll!lllllllllllll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllll!!llll!lllll!lllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllll!!!l||l|lll!IM and Chemistry, there are principles in cooking which are worthy of con- sideration. Domestic Science is an elective subject, but every girl in the class of ’19 choose it and took it for two years. v , -.4 PHYSIOLOGY By WILLARD DORMAN, ’19 Physiology is usually a Senior subject and a half year course, but this year there were a few advanced Juniors in the class and it was taught the full term. The study takes up the names and uses of the different parts of the body. Physiology also teaches one what is harmful and what are the causes of the many diseases of the organs of the body. The High School Physiology is more interesting and far more advanced than the subjects as taught in. the grades. It takes up the study of every part of the body and how and why each one is controlled. During part of the year a manual was used along with the book and as each chapter was taken up it was followed by an experiment in the labora- tory. Anyone can certainly make good use of the subject no matter what line of work he takes up after leaving high school. The books used were Conn and Budingtons Advanced Physiology and Hygiene. All of us spent a profitable and pleasant term on the subject and we thank Mr. Mogle, our teacher, for his patience in making the subject so interesting. -.4 -.4 ,4 MUSIC “UNCLE SAM ' S BOYS IN CAMP” M usical sketch for male voices M. O. Wallace and Wallace Bruce On the afternoon of February fourteenth the high school auditorium changed miracously into an army camp. Miss McLinn’s chorus of boys sang their serenades and patriotic songs with characteristic army “Pep.” Boys are boys, and be they Majors or privates they always fall for the pretty girls, so when the fascinating Lady Gazelle of the Superior Entertain- ment Bureau came to enliven the monotony of army discipline all the soldiers IIUIII!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!IIIIIII!IIIIIIII !!!!ill!ll!lllllll!lllll!lllll!!l!lllllllllll lllllllll!l[ll!!!lll!ll!lll!illlllllllllllll]llllll!lllltillllllll|l!|lllll||||i||li]|||||!|||||||l,|i|!||||||i||||||||||jj||||||||[!|||[i|||||||||j||||||j|!||jjj|||||||j|||||j|||||||||||||||||A|||||j||||j||||||||||j]|jj|||||||||j|||jjj||||j||jjj| IllUlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllilllllllllllllll THE AURORA 55 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii it p m niiiiiiiinnri it irin:t:iii! i -r i i :iii-i iri,iiiiiii;iiii!;ini: were glad. They could hardly wait to see her and were very pleased to do her slightest bidding. It made Hal very angry to notice that the Major was far from democratic in monopolizing Lady Gazelle. Her every action gave delight to the boys, so you can easily realize how badly they all felt when she faited while dancing for them. She promised to come again when she recovered so the Major gave her a note to her manager. Imagine the chagrin of all the boys when Lady Gazelle laughed in a deep bass voice, snatched off her hat and stood before them Captain Odds! All this farce had been the result of a wager made between the Major and the Captain, that no man dressed up as a woman could ever fool the Major. Well one did and thereby gave the plot for an amusing little musical comedy. Ira Kepple, as Bob, did good solo work, while the whole chorus singing showed much practice and work. The songs were greatly enjoyed by all. Cast of Characters Major Manners. Lady Gazelle... Hal Berry Forrest Wood. . Tony Markel... Jack Saunders. . Bob Jeffries. . . . . . Ray Kostbade . .

Most of our class took up music and in April the chorus sang “Gloria,” in Gary, win- ning third place in the honors. The year following, we sang “Toreador” in Gary. At the end of the semester, Mrs. Peddicord left us, and Miss Helen Kolb became our new instructor. Every one will agree that Miss Kolb was all “pep.” The high school course under her supervision gave a musical program, made up of operatic, classical, and popular selections. In April of the same year we sang “Unfold Ye Portals” in Gary and took the third place again. After three semesters’ work in the Hobart High School, Miss Kolb’s place was filled by Miss McLinn. That year we were not repersented by a chorus in Gary. In the following fall Miss McLinn put on a delightful little cantata called “May Queen.” Emma Carstensen, as the May Queen, gowned in filmy white, assisted by Miss Margaret Sandy of. Valparaiso, made the cantata very successful. The school year of 1918-19 has been very much broken up, so that it has been impossible to present many musical treats to our patrons. The boys’ chorus did good work in the musical comedy, entitled “Uncle Sam’s Boys in Camp,” and we hope to have many more good musical selections before school closes.

Opening — Mr. Swift enters complaining of the cold weather out side, and is all bundled up. Walks over to rack and commences to unwrap, when the telephone rings. He answers with all his wraps on except his hat. Swift — “Doggone that phone, it has more to say than a woman. I sup- pose some old foggy has lost his wife and wants another. Hello ; yes, this is the Get-’Em-Quick Employment Agency. You want a big cook ? How- big? Two hundred pounds? Good scot man, what s the idea? You want her to fire the furnace, do the washing, sweep the floor and carry in the coal? Man, you’ve got the wrong place ; what you need is an ex-fireman from a battleship.” (Hangs up.) Starts back to rack when Minnie Haha enters. Minnie— “Is this the G. E. Q. A.? Well, I’m the best cook you ever saw. I can boil water, s kin a chicken, peal a pumpkin, mash an egg or do anything required of a gentile cook.” Swift — “Is that so? Well, what’s your name?” Minnie — “Minnie Haha, sir.” Swift — “Minnie Haha? Well, Minnie, why did you leave your last place?” Minnie — “It wasn’t my fault. The boss was giving a swell dinner and he said I put gasoline in the salad instead of olive oil, salt in the sauce instead of sugar and that my coffee was simply wicked.” Swift— “That’s too bad. We’ve alw-ays a place for good cooks so just sit down and wait awhile.” (Starts to unwrap when phone rings again. As he starts to answer it three cooks come in at once and go over to his desk listen- ing all the while to the conversation.) Swift — “Yes, this is the G. E. Q. E. A. You want an intelligent cook? Young preferred, to act as companion to a beautiful heiress?” THE AURORA 61 lillil!lllllliliilllllllllllllll!!lllll!llll!IIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIII!Ulllllilllllllllllll!ll!lllll!lllllllllllllll!IIIIIN !!llllinillllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllfllllllllllilllllllll!lllll||l!llllllllll!ll||||||||!l||||||ll!l||||||||||||||;|||||!l!|||||!||||||||i||||i||||||||||||||.|!|||||||||||||||||||n Three cooks at once — “Oh, Mr. Swift, I can just fill the place.” Swift — “Fill your face? Who said anything about filling your face? No, madam, I wasn’t talking to you ; a mush just butted in.” Sabbath Morn — “Sir, I’ll let you know I’m a lady, and I just despise mush.” Swift — “Oh, sit down then, mush; can’t you see I am busy? All three of you.” (They do so grumbling.) “There now, she hung up on me, and I lost $5.00.” (Swift goes over to the three new cooks to get their names.) Swift — “No, what’s your name.” Cook — -“Sabbath Morn, sir.” Swift— Well, what you doing around here on Monday?” Cook — “What’s that to you?” Swift — “And your name?” Cook — “Lotta Pep, sir.” Swift — “You sure don’t show it.” Swift — “And your name?” Cook — “Winna Smile.” Swift — “Oh dear, you’ll do.” (While Swift is thus engaged an old lady comes in and starts talking in a high cracked voice. She carries a valise.) Prudence Love — “Is this the G. E. Q. A.?” Swift (using the same tone) — “Yes, Madam. I presume you want a real nice job?” Prudence — “Oh, dear me, aren’t you the accommodating young man? Yes, I’d like a place where I can keep my little boy, Isadore, and daughter, Arabelle. I would like to have the use of the parlor and the piano, and I want every half day off.” Swift — “Ah, yes, Miss, Miss — ” Prudence — “Prudence Love, sir.” Swift — “Love, ah yes, I have just such a place for you. A man just telephoned a moment ago for you. Let’s see; he lives on — on, on— Jump, 6-6-6.” (The cooks on the bench jump, stand up, place their hands on the next one’s shoidders and mark time to the dadence of the figures. Swift is so surprised that he repeats the performance.)

She comments on beauty of clothes, and talks all the time. Finally she finds the second bag, and starts another search for another pocketbook. Then she remembers that she has it in her coat pocket.) Swift (as she leaves) — “Ye gods.” (Just then a young and beautiful lady enters and starts to sit down on the bench with the other cooks. Swift again starts to unwrap. he cooks on the bench slide over to vacant place and keep the new arrival running back and forth trying to get a seat. Swift goes over and runs with her. Finally he takes one of the cooks, Lotta Pep, by the coat collar and hangs her on the coat rack, then he finishes unwraping, hangs his coat over her and the young lady who recently arrived sits smilingly. The others look sour. Swift goes over to get the beauty’s name.) Swift — “What is your name, please?” Cook — “Miss Butterfly, sir.” Swift — “Some hard time you had lighting.” Cook — “Oh, I always do.” Swift — “Can you beat that?” (He then goes over to his desk and looks among his papers. Mrs. Wearyman enters.) Mrs. W. — “Oh, I’m so upset. We just got over the Flu at our house when we took down with smallpox and now we can’t get a cook at all, and I’m so weak.” (Cooks on bench begin to exchange glances.) Swift — “There you are, Mrs. W., take your pick.” Cooks — “Nothing stirring.” Mrs. W. — “Sir, I’m insulted. (She leaves.) Swift — “That’s all right, lady, go to Dr. Leary. Insulted? Now, what kind of a disease is that?” (Mr. Jack enters. Swift hails him.) Swift — “Hello, there, Mr. Jack. What is the trouble?” Jack — “Swift, I’m looking for a beautiful young lady to cook my meals for me until my wife comes home from visiting her mother.” (All the cooks except Miss Butterfly commence smiling at him and flirt- ing. Mr. Jack makes a sour face. The cook on the rack commences kicking but to no avail.) Mr. Jack — “Ah, there, my pretty one.
