THE ms. MAH This department is for information of general interest only. Everybody : — I greet you again. Hope you received your answers last year. Don’t fail to ask ?’s and I won’t fail to favor you. Mr. Ans. Man : — I have been reading your answers to various questions and 1 find them interesting. In 1920, I was sponsor for the graduating class of that year. Since then, the members of that class have drifted away from the town and I would appreciate very much any information you could give me concerning them. ELLEN MALONE. Miss Malone: — You are very kind in telling me that you enjoy my answers and I am very glad that I am able to favor you. The information you seek, 1 can readily furnish, as I happen to be fortunate enough to have secured the services of Miss Ava Tolle as my secretary. She tells me that she was a mem- ber of that class, and in accordance with a pledge the members of the class gave each other on “Commencement Night”, they have kept in touch with each other up to the present time. Miss Mary Maybaum is now an English instructor in the Wheeler High School. She is the author of a book published in 1925 entitled, “The Value of a Wide Vocabulary.’’ Raymond Kostbade, a promising young lawyer, has won considerable fame as a debater in the House of Representatives. Washington society has received him with open arms. 1 1 is constituency has been so well pleased with his efforts in their behalf that in the recent election he was returned to Con- gress with an overwhelming majority. George Gill, an instructor of history in the “State University of Wiseoir sin,” has been so successful in his chosen work that he is so much in demand that Madison has to constantly increase his salary to retain him. It is rumored that he is planning to write an autobiography of Lincoln. iMliss Tolle regards this as a huge joke, just why. I do not understand. Robert Frank has settled down to be a scientific farmer and assures me that he is very contented in his work. He is much in demand at Farmers’ Institutes as he is considered an authority on “How to grow corn success- fully?”

Enter: ' A group of badly scared Freshmen. Their extreme nervous state is due to threats made by the Seniors. Juniors and Sophomores to initiate them. To prove their fitness to survive they must show their ability along the lines of Algebra, Latin, General Science and Ancient History. Upon examination, they display so much talent that they are not only permitted but urged to pass on. Scene II. Setting: Same. Time : One year later. Enter: The same group who are now Sophomores. This year they delight in telling the new Freshmen how they will initiate them and, true to their promise, they perform this work to the entire satisfaction of all. Even the Freshies ad- mit that the initiation team did excellent work and was a credit to the class. They are getting along well with Algebra and Latin and it is decided that they now take up the additional burden of Botany and English. Again they prove their worth and climb higher. Scene III. Setting: High School of Hobart. Time : Another year later. Enter: Eleven of the original class. They feel and look far more superior than ever before. They continue their work in English, Latin and History and are introduced to Geometry. Some elect the Commercial work, others Science. At the close of the year, they give a sumptuous banquet to the Sen- iors which establishes their reputation as entertainers. Scene IV. Setting: Same Ilobart II. S. Time: Four years have passed. It is now 1920. Two new members have joined the remaining ten of the original class. During the Senior year many social festivities are held. The class has also accom- plished much in the literary world. The members have devoted much of their lime to the publishing of the Aurora, which they wish to be a testimonial of llteii fitness lor Seniorship. I hey make their last appearance on Commence- ment night, when, as a reward for four years’ work, they will receive their diplomas from the Hobart High School. Curtain. GRETCHEN SHORE. ’20.

1 320 JOL SEN IOR CLASS Q £g H.H.S. gg 53 SENIOR CLASS £5 For the past five years Miss Gerber has been the stenographer in the South Chicago Steel Mills, but has resigned her position during the past week. Reason ! In a clipping from a Chicago daily, we find the announcement of her engage- ment. By the way, her prospective husband is five feet four and one-half inches in height. Just recall the year 1024 and you will surely remember the exciting cam- paign when Miss Boldt ran for state senator on the Progressive ticket and was defeated on a narrow margin. At present, she is contenting herself by writing articles on “Woman Suffrage’’ for “Any Magazine That Will Accept Them.” At the present Miss Linkhart is attending the Chicago University and in my interview with her the other day she would give me no definite idea as to what she intended to do when her course there was completed. Mass Tolle says she has an idea, well, maybe I have too. Miss Ewigleben on leaving school became an employee of the Gary Heat and Light. Her work is so efficient that her employers feel that they cannot get along without her. Gretchen Shore? ? 1 Oh, yes, she has had what might be called an inter- esting time since leaving school. She took a course in secretaryship, and took her B. A. on January 22nd, 1924. February 28th of the same year, she pro- posed to Mr. Rightman, and on February 29th, 1924. became Mrs. Rightman. LeRoy Stark, the last one to join the class, just naturally followed in the footsteps of his father and became a minister. At present, he is trying to bring “light” to a group of Pennsylvania miners. Here’s hoping he succeeds. Vera Quinlan is a famous politician. Not long ago 1 heard her give a splendid address on “Civic Improvement” which I am sure impressed every member of the audience. Write again, AVA TOLLE. TO THE SENIORS. The easy roads are crowded, And the level roads are jammed; The pleasant little rivers With drifting folks are crammed. But off yonder where it’s rocky Where you get a better view, You will find the ranks are thinning And the travelers are few. Where the going’s smooth and pleasant You will always find the throng. For the many, more’s the pity, Seem to like to drift along. But the steeps that call for courage, And the task that’s hard to do. In the end result in glory For the never wavering few.
