The country is demanding intelli- gent men and women to carry out its program for the future. The boys and girls, in turn, are becoming more cognizant of the fact than ever be- fore, and, as a consequence of that realization, Huntington High School boasts larger enrollment each year. Its well organized and practical system of instruction has placed it in a position of paramount importance among the other high schools of the State. This year again the school is turning out a finished product in the shape of Senior Graduates. It is natural for the people of this community to inspect this product with the same cool scrutiny with which they criticize any form of merchandise before purchasing it. In reality they, as taxpayers, have contributed un- selfishly to the support of the institution which makes possible this pro- duction of young men and women who carry certificates of knowledge bestowed upon them by the high school as an expression of ability and labor on the part of the students. The taxpayers desire equal return for value expended and it is proper that they should do so. Thus, the school might be termed a medium of exchange whereby capital is bartered for intellectual attainment. It has been the purpose of the Editors to make this thirteenth volume of the Modulus a true reflection of the life and activities of the Huntington High School, whereby all who scrutinize its pages may ascertain its ac- complishments and judge it accordingly. To those who have contributed their time and talent to the creation ( of this volume, the editors wish to express their sincere appreciation: to ( I j i Paul Morse, we are indebted for the management of the finances ; to Mary t jl Jones, we owe much thanks for her original production in design-work and I i sketches; to Neil Crull, who secured for us the advertisements of the loyal ' i ' business men of Huntington, we owe much gratitude; and to the Literary i j Editors, Jeanette Sale and Nellie Hammel, and all the committees, we I wish to express our appreciation. ' j The Fort Wayne Engraving Company proved to be most helpful in ! j suggesting various features for the annual, as well as satisfactory in fur- I i nishing cuts for the volume. The U. B. Publishing Establishment co- ) i operated with us well in the printing, as did the Rickert Studio in photo- j graphy, and the Molloy Company of Chicago in the production of the ' i covers. I Miss Koch, our class advisor and a member of the faculty, came to i our aid many times with cheerful and ready assistance. To her we owe I a great portion of our gratitude. I I Another school year is ended and the 1924 Modulus is published. I Opus confectum est. i The Joint-Editors. . — —-1 1 U Jl L 1. L S ' WRONG NUMBER It was a dark and drizzly night when I stepped out of the last per- formance of Dipping Down in Sin. I sought the comfort of my twin-six Cadillac parked along the curb, but just as I started to leave the curb, j a man hustled up with a cop, saying that I was trying to steal his car. I I remembered then that I had left mine at home. I had the wrong number. ' I was taken around to the station and there I tried to e,xplain, and told .-r them to call 773400 A for identification, which they did. The party an- swering the phone said that they had never heard of a person by my name. I had given them the wrong number; I never can remember it I anyway. They would not listen to my explanations as they thought I , was bluffing. They gave me cell 13, wrong number for luck. My father I heard of my arrest and bailed me out in the morning. , I hurried home to phone my girl. She had been peeved with me all week and that was the reason I went to the show alone. When I asked her if she loved me she said, yes and asked me to call to see her. I left the earth only to come back with a thud. It was the wrong number; I had called the the Old Maids Home. I felt desperately sick so I sat down in a chair to think things over. I was somewhat bilious since I had the wrong number of vitamines for breakfast; my head hurt because of my hat, which was two sizes too small. My feet I hurt because my shoes weren ' t mates; they were the wrong number. I Finally I decided to end my discomforts once and for all. I went ( down to the hardware store and bought some cartridges for my auto- ( matic, but they would not fit, for lo and behold, they were the wrong 1 number. So I went down to the store again and in order to make sure, I got a razor and some rope. When I returned home and attempted to hang myself from the chandelier, the rope broke; it was the wrong number, being too light in weight. I turned to the razor as the final relief, and found that the hardware dealer had given me a safety, as I did not speci- fy the kind. I rushed to the French windows expecting to step out on- ' to the balcony for air, forgetting that some carpenters had removed said bal- t cony the day before. I fell two stories to the ground, breaking my neck. You ' will probably wonder how I am able to tell this story, yet it is all very ' simple, I am telling it to you through a spirit medium. The medium may tell you the message is from Heaven. But, no, they have the wrong ' number. J On a dark and Willys Knight a Pathfinder set out to locate ' the Chevrolet. On this trip he was forced to Ford the Hudson and Dodge Overland in his rush to make a Paige in history. With a load of Saxon he was struck by a Pierce Arrow and was knocked ' Cole. I • Many a man lets rust gather on his brain who wouldn ' t dream of letting it gather on the radiator of his car. I GOD IN NATURE I By Nellie Hammel In this world of fuss and hurry, , Let us hesitate; Just a moment stop our rushing, . Just a moment wait. • God, through nature, speaks, but softly, ' Gentle words of love. ' He in nature paints the message. That will lead above. If we hurry past the sunsets, 1 Birds and trees and flowers, We will miss the natural guide posts I To His heavenly bowers. I We will miss His tender blessing, Miss that which we seek. For true happiness will be found, Onlv when we meet — God in Nature GRANDMOTHER ' S GARDEN By Mary Harrell I draw a line at kissing, Said she with accents fine. He was a football player. And so he crossed the line. And what is so rare as a garden of flowers. Borders of phlox and of roses great bowers, • Marigolds, bluebells, petunias in rows, . Nodding their heads where the wild stream flows, • Hollyhocks, jonquils, and all sorts of daisies, | Bowing in the wind as if they were ladies, • Modest violets, bold tulips, and flags, | While behind them the slow aster lags. Crocuses, hyacinths, ragged robins so blue, Pinks, lavender, fragrant heliotrope, too, | Zinnias, coxcombs, yellow daft ' odowndillies, j Tall ladies ' fingers, and Easter ' s white lilies. | There the south wind dwells throughout the day, t Causing the flowers to and fro to sway Just like the garden of Anne of old, j It holds color, fragrance and beauty untold. j 1 High School Song To you, our boys, we ' ll sing today Our little song of cheer. We ' ll march right on to victory And make our pathway clear. Cheering you to win the game, Come on, and show them how. So let ' s put spirit in the fight And cheer for them right now. Chorus Rah, rah, rah, rah-rah, rah rah, rah, Our cheers for the H. H. S. It ' s the one school and it ' s the dearest The school we love the best. So then, let us pep up Come on boys, let ' s win For the best, best school in all the nation, Our cheers for the H. H. S. II Let us be loyal sons and true And triumph in life ' s game. Uphold the fame of H. H. S.— Add glory to her name. When wider fields present their view And harder tasks appear. Let Red and Black shine forth anew, Our happy course to steer. Ill We stand for knowledge, truth and power. Her glorious name to bless ; May no dark stain not for an hour, Make her great honor less. May noble sons and daughters true Make history ' s pages shine. And Red and Black in brightest hue With memory intertwine. i i i HOW A SENIOR GAINED HIS INSPIRATION i By Neil Crull ! The Senior has a right to hold up his head and look down on his fel- J low si udents of lower standing. After successfully weathering three years I of snow, rain and storms, does he not deserve some credit for still existing? ' Take the case, for example, of Friedman Crisco. In his Freshman I year he lived a life of ease, doing but little studying outside of school. In his Soijhomore year, while trying to beat Caesar in his progress through Gaul, he found out that his little first year Latin grammar should have been in use every night instead of being left in his locker. Finding that Caesar was giving him a merry race, still going strong while he was weak- ening, he decided to resort to other means. So, accordingly, he wrote to Sears, Roebuck Company, inclosing a money order for some small amount, asking their assistance in his great struggle for success by sending him their largest and easiest riding pony for swift traveling through Gaul. Not being an expert at handling ponies, he had many falls and made many miser- able mistakes but in the end he outrode Caesar, and Nellie passed him as • one of her greatest students. It had been hard work to keep such a bril- I liant pony a secret, but he trained it hard and passed all inspection. i Friedman, while in his Senior year, realized how mixed up the modem I ponies were, so he set to work on his masterpiece and today, in any book- 1 store, you can find Friedman Crlsco ' s Translations of Caesar ' s Gallic Wars. j Upon looking in magazines for an advertisement for this great book you I will find his trade mark, Crisco ' s makes the translations of Caesar as slick as grease. If you look into almost any Sophomore ' s locker you are almost sure to find one of these great books and it has been rumored that the Hunt- ington Press is going to give each and every person one of Crisco ' s mas- terpieces for obtaining only three new yearly subscriptions to the said newspaper. Sophomores, wake up! This is a chance of a lifetime. Get busy now! BACKWARD, TURN BACKWARD Backward, turn backward. Oh time in thy flight; feed me on gruel again just for tonight. I am so weary of sole leather steak, petrified doughnuts and vulcanized cake; oysters that slept in a watery bath, but- ter as strong as Goliath of Gath. Weary paying for what I don ' t eat, chewing up rubber and calling it meat. Backward, turn backward, for weary 1 am; give me a whack at my grandmother ' s jam; let me drink milk that has never been skimmed, let me eat butter whose hair has been trim- med. Let me once more have an old-fashioned pie, and then I ' ll be ready to turn up and die. TWENTY-THIRD PSALM OF A GEOMETRY STUDENT I have a study in which I shall not pass. It maketh me to expose my ignorance before the class ; It maketh me, to draw figures on the board for my grade ' s sake ; Yea, though I study until midnight I shall gain no Geometry, For X ' s bother me and AB ' s sorely trouble me. It prepareth puzzles for me in the presence of my classmates ; Surely zeros and conditions will follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the class of Geometry forever. ■r-a ESSAY ON THE AMERICAN STUDENT By Erma Burton For too many years the American people have been content with the education which they have been offering to their children, and have not realized its deficiencies. Indeed, they have thought that our sys- tem of public training was superior to that of Europe and hence, need- ed no readjustment. But now, we are beginning to awake to the real needs as a result of the severe criticisms broadcast from Europeans, and we no longer look upon the foreign statements as being mere criticisms produced in jeal- ous minds but as suggestions, which in many cases, would be of great con- structive value if applied to our educational system. Yet we do not say ; that there are not hundreds of misstatements made about us nor a total j lack of jealousy and rivalry among our European neighbors. We know j that the youth of America is an easy prey for those foreigners who have j for their sole purpose the finding of all the fallacies possible in our stu- • dents to the exclusion of any commendable features. But this severe • criticism is given by a few only, and a fairer decision and authority rests j in the reports of various Europeans who have entertained as guests ■ or watched as scholars the American students who have toured the major j countries of Europe for educational purposes. The people of those na- j tions who are thrown into direct contact with and who make acquaintance j with these youths, unconsciously submit their criticisms to American j investigators and, as a rule, the reports are favorable. f Only recently did such a band of college graduates enjoy a tour of | Europe and an American correspondent in that great division of the world j reports the general conclusion of the people concerning them in an article j in the Outlook entitled The American Student Abroad. Primarily j he mentions their natural revelation of the true American spirit of I | want to know. But, he states further, I noted as well their superior { qualities of manner and deportment. They were not noisy, boisterous, ) or bumptious. They had a quiet serenity almost beyond their years. j Their habits were really austere; not one of them gave the impression J of not having been well brought up. In speech they were simple, sincere, j frank. They constitute the kind of virgin soil in which good or bad j seed quickly sprouts. In other portions of the article the author states j that they were hospitably received everywhere, which opened the way j for propaganda of all sorts and made them an easy prey for the dissem- [ inators of false reports. In all, he says, the students were appreciative ( and displayed a desire for truth. I This summary of the natural characteristics of our students we ac- I cept most gladly, believing it to be a report of the true type of high j American moral and scholastic standards, and hoping that our youths j might always inspire the same hospitality and favor. j At the same time the impression made by our students abroad is j quite different from that contracted and expressed by a few Europeans I who have visited in this country. The latter impression invariably reveals J r I . of speech, and that where the European is developed intellectually, the ■| American possesses in addition a social and physical development as well, i i ] a weakness in our plan of education. Rev. A. H. Gray of Scotland who ] has been a worker in the Y. M. C. A. in this country for some time, was •j asked to give his impression of the American student as he saw him. He did so and a part of his opinion was published in a current magazine. I We may accept his statements as being general and unstudied, since he J devoted little time to the study of the situation but merely gave his can- I did opinion. It is well, however, to weigh the impartial criticisms and, j :? ' ; with those as a key, discover where our discrepancies lie. The one big startling statement which has aroused the indignation ' of many patriotic American students is that they are intellectually j docile, suffering from a strange paralysis of the will, and that a ' great number of them will become later on the victims of mere fash- ' ,1 ion and the dupes of popular orators. We hesitate to accept the stirring .1 criticism and decline to receive it as a general statement, but we know I that this summary is embarrassingly true in many cases. Then the ques- .1 tion arises, whose fault is it? Is the boy or girl naturally inferior in .1 intellect and will to the European youth who is credited as being intel- .1 lectually rebellious? Has the general American home-life been too leni- J ent to promote deeper reasoning, or the nation too progressive to pro- I duce an intellectual independence in its youths? We cannot see it thus, I and these reasons have not been given by Rev. Gray, but he attacks the ' educational system itself which we have always prized so highly, only • ' to find it torn to shreds by the onlookers of Europe. The colleges, we be- lieve, contrary to the statement of Dr. Gray, are well controlled and gov- erned, and with such a large number of institutions and pupils as are found in the United States, better system of management could hardly be hoped for. We do agree, however, that there is too much of a paternalism ' of the faculty over the students and that the pupils as a whole look up- on the opinions of their respective instructors as being indisputable. Thus the true purpose of a teacher, which is to be a challenger and pro- moter of thought, not merely a source of information, has been modified in America and the psychology of the student ' s mind overlooked by the faculty. Too often the teachers fear to provoke the original ideas of the pupils, due to the partial belief of the superior authority of some narrow regulation of the school. The word education is derived from the Latin word educo, meaning to draw from. Hence, education is not the fill- ing of the mind but the withdrawal of the latent forces endowed by na- I ture. The opinion of our foremost educators and critics is that this prin- I ciple is overlooked in normal training, and the false basis of education ' has developed to a degree in which it is harmful to the students. But we will not accept the criticism that the will of an American boy or girl is inferior to that of a European of the same age. We need but reverse the criticism of American intellectual docility to state that where the Euro- pean student possesses a rebellious intellect and independent mind, he lacks the American freedom of nature, physical fitness, and frankness i 1 proving the character of the American student to be advanced farther in the plan of a four-fold life than the European scholar. And thus, while we are unmercifully criticized for the deficiencies which we suffer, we are waiting for the critics to unveil to us the European country wherein the students have a more sincere and affectionate disposition, a more honor- ' able character, and a greater religious, civic, and political freedom than ' the youthful citizens of the United States of America enjoy. 4 THE HUT IN THE HOLLOW I, , By Orvilla Kruse •- •. Patty Jane slumped into a disconsolate little heap beside a large pil- lar which helped to uphold the roof of the porch. She placed her elbows on her knees, rested her quivering chin in her cupped hands, and although her snow-white forehead was marred by a distracting wrinkle, she present- ed a beautiful picture in a beautiful setting. Her golden hair was bobbed, the curly ringlets an unruly mass of wealth ; her full, red lips were slightly parted, disclosing even rows of dazzling pearls ; and her hazel eyes were opened wide, gazing unseeingly into space. Behind her. on the large, roomy porch, v as every luxurious conveni- ence ; before her the green grass was as beautiful as a carpet of velvet ; while all about the great mansion bloomed flowers. What if the birds did sing and roses perfume the air? I All the sunshine of her life was now transformed by a blow as sudden as a shaft of forked lightning. ' They say lightning never strikes twice in the same place, she cried impetuously, But it ' s not so! First my own lovely mother and daddy were taken from me by that dreadful automobile wreck ten long years ago. Now my poor, dear Don has so mysteriously disappeared and I shall probably never see him again. Now Honeychile, don ' fret, case yo ' mammy ' ll try and help yo ' ef she can, crooned Mammy Lou, suddenly emerging from the hallway. Her head was turbaned by a large, red, cotton bandanna handkerchief and her shiny visage expressed great concern and love for her adorable mis- tress. Mistah Waldon dest telephoned an ' sed ter ax yo ' ef yo ' all won ' t come on a fox-hunt. She had discreetly changed the subject. Patty Jane slowly rose to her feet and sighed, then replied, As it is, I ' ll have to go, for to refuse even once more would show discourtesy on my part and with that she followed her loyal servant into her home. A half of an hour later she again made her appearance, wearing an ; expensive brown riding habit, and as she walked down the stately steps . she abstractedly drew on her gloves. The stable boy now came into view, leading a beautiful horse, whose glossy, brown coat glistened in the sunlight. The saddle upon its back ; was the best to be purchased, and Pepper whinnied for joy as he can- tered up to his owner. r- — -MODULUS. Patty Jane fondly stroked the beautifully arched neck of her mount, then swung lightly upon its back and waved farewell to Mammy Lou as she left the grounds. She was to meet her Uncle Waldon at the Bounce Inn, five miles away, and as it was rather late she lightly touched her horse and galloped on, but later, seeing that she would arrive soon enough, she allowed her horse to slow down to a canter and finally to a walk. She had covered about half the distance when she suddenly came up- on a purple envelope, lying face-downward in the middle of the road. Slip- ping from her horse she stooped to pick it up, but as she knelt down, she was seized and after having her arms pinioned behind her, then was jerked to her feet. A large, husky man, bearded and unkempt, turned her face toward him and in his narrow eyes gleamed spite and cunning. Well, Lillian, he exclaimed in a gruff voice, now I guess you ' ll come with us ! Here, Hadley ! A second man, smaller but as shabby as his comrade, stepped from a clump of bushes, and grinned disconcertingly at the bewildered captive. He whistled three high, clear, staccato notes, then waited in silence, and soon a creamy-white and a coal-black horse crashed through the under- growth. I Patty Jane sharply drew her breath. So this was the fate of her j newly purchased steeds! To be certain she again regarded the animals, j only to find that Foam and Scooter were most assuredly these two I beautiful creatures before her. I beg your pardon, but I ' m sure that you are quite mistaken, she I murmured, I am j Yes, you are Lillian Maxwell, snarled the taller one, You got away I with our pay once, now you ' ll come across. • Loosening a coil of rope, which hung to Foam ' s saddle he quickly ' and securely bound her aiTns behind her. Now he lifted her to her horse ; ! the men mounted the other two. and with Hadley leading Pep- I per, they trailed down a narrow lane in single file. I Patty Jane pondered for a moment in wild despair. Should she re- I monstrate or should she allow things to remain as they were, for the pres- ' ent? She decided on the latter, for upon second reflection she saw the ! uselessness of trying to escape. Besides being bound, she was between ! the horses of the two men, so she maintained a silence which remained un- ' broken. Swerving suddenly to the right she soon saw a tiny hut loom before , her. Upon reaching it she was rudely helped from her horse, the three animals were tied to the trunks of some trees, and the two men hurried her into the log cabin. The room in which Patty Jane found herself was simply furnished with a small table, four chairs, and a rocker. A box, standing in one comer of the room, evidently served as a cupboard, while at the farthest side was a large, stone fireplace. — .MODULUS- Singular, ho vever, were the decorations. Upon each of the chairs were pruple cushions, at the two windows hung pui-ple curtains, and the material drawn hefore the opening of the cupboard was also purple. Even the tiny woven rug befoi-e the fireplace was carried out in the predomin- ating color-scheme. Suit you? queried the tall one maliciously. Knew that purple letter ' ud ketch yer eye, and a right good reason it should, eh? Patty Jane shrunk from his taunting presence with abhorrence. She could not hope to be rescued, for the road was lonely, and it was very unlikely that anyone should choose that one trail from all the rest, yet she lived in that hope. Well, ye ' ll have time to git used to it, he continued as he crossed the room and opened one of two doors which led from the main quarter. Make yersel ' t ' home, he mocked, as he motioned for the girl to enter, to which she complied, then heard the heavy bolt shot into place. Sinking down upon the cot she pondered over the situation. How could she make them see their mistake ? What could she do ? She looked about her. The same color-scheme was prominent here as it was in the other room. What could the significance be? Only one open space supplied ventilation and that was near the roof. Soon Hadley appeared with a plate of beans, a chunk of dry bread, and a glass of cold spring water. He eyed her in amusement for a mo- ment, then freed her and invited her to partake of the food which he had placed upon the camp-stool. Patty Jane remained motionless until he made his departure, then ruefully plunged her hands in the pockets of her coat. In her right pock- et she felt a hard metallic something which she eagerly pulled out. Her eyes lighted with pleasure as she saw, lying in the palm of her hand, her own tiny pearl handled revolver. She quickly examined it but found to her dismay that only one shot was left. She remembered that but a few days ago she had been wasting her ammunition as she prowled through the woods near her home, but yet it gave her a comforting sense of protection, at least. After an hour had elapsed she heard the men leaving, the gruff voice of the tall one, boisterous and commanding, while that of Hadley was scarcely ever heard. Just his tool, thought Patty Jane as she listened. What can their little game be? She had decided to watch them. Pushing the cot beneath the window she placed the chair and box upon it and climbing to the top of this she found that she was just high enough to peep through the iron bars. The men strode boldly forward, Hadley following the other one until they came to a large tree. Standing motionless for a second they scanned the surrounding territory. To escape observation she quickly stooped down, but when she again sought to spy, she found to her disgust that they had been swallowed alive by the earth. I I j Fiffre... I still she continued to watch and was soon rewarded for her vigilance j by the sudden appearance of Hadley from behind the giant oak. He hurried to the hut and soon returned to the place from which he , had emerged, carrying with him some food. j With that the mystery deepened and Patty deliberately got down from I her look-out and carefully replaced the furnishings of the room, then threw herself upon the cot, falling asleep from utter weariness. i S ' The next morning when she awakened, the sun was already high in the ' ? sky. Tiptoeing silently to the door she paused and listened, then softly pushed it. It gave way! Patty Jane cast a hurried and anxious look about the room, then, emboldened by its reassuring sight she closed the door to her room. Cautiously she crept to the door of the other chamber. Holding her ' • pistol in her hand, she pulled the door open. The vile fumes of a strong ' alcoholic drink enveloped and nearly suffocated her. ! The two men were lying upon the floor in a drunken stupor. Disdain- ' ■ fully she regarded them, then quickly stooped and feeling in the taller one ' s pockets she rejoiced in finding a small number of keys on a ring. She immediately withdrew and in her turn locked her captors in their room. Patty Jane, proud of her good-luck had one other great desire. This was to solve the mystery of the great oak. ! Dashing excitedly from the hut she quickly made her way toward the spot. The tree was immense! On the side, which had been hidden from view the day before, she had discovered that it was hollow. Maybe they kept some papers hidden there! Peering nervously inside she was astonished to see that someone had dug through it. A rope ladder hung inside. Quickly she let it down and descended. She soon came to the bot- 1 torn and found another surprise awaiting her. A tunnel gaped before , her, dark and uninviting. She could not see ahead but crept along on her , hands and feet, groping blindly onward. Finally, as she rounded a bend she stumbled over a huddled figure. It was some lighter here, and she noticed that she was in a sort of rudely constructed underground shanty. Patty Jane! cried Don, as he sprang to his feet and gathered his I darling in his arms. I Don dear! she murmured brokenly. How Why Oh, dear, I what does this mean? ) Don shrugged his shoulders after a foolish fashion, then began, I , was coming to see you, and as you know it is quite a way, so I stopped , and left the highway to take a short cut. Well, during the storm I came I upon the hut. No one was there and I found this book as I prowled about. I It is Jordan ' s diary and in it, please excuse me if I hurt you, but I think j you ' d like to know, an account is given of wrecking some cars, at the time 1 of your father ' s and mother ' s death. He paused and held her a little j closer, and her head dropped down upon his breast. I He was wonderfully handsome. His head was bent, his black hair I forming a striking contrast beside her golden head and in his dark eyes (Continued on Page 120) Atittttntstratmn UTOGRAPH METTA M. LEEDY Secretary J. M.

Bodrd of Education THAD CLARK President JEROME BAKER Secretary WILLIAM ALLEN Treasurer THE FACULTY AS SEEN THROUGH THE VEIL OF TIME Memory of days gone by, together with a longing to breathe again the air of the cherished H. H. S., took me back to the corridors of that beautiful building. There in all its grandeur, it nursed the cause of education under the protection of the wings of morality and justice. It was with a sigh of relief that I made my way into that stately mansion. How changed everything was! It was my fortune to make my appearance in the midst of the vast throng treading quietly through the halls during the fifteen-minute intermission between classes. Upon arriving on the second floor I saw a short, stout man busily directing the traffic on the main floor. The halls were divided into two parts by long railings for the purpose of separating the industrious stu- dents from the ambitious, the ratio being 3 to 5. I was inforemed by a well posted Freshman that the man was the former principal, Mr. Byers, who, having resigned his position, was busying himself with maintaining order under the title of sergeant-at-arms. A great crowd of students assembled at the doors of the auditorium as was the daily custom. Forcing my way in, I found a comfortable seat in the front row. A tall reserved gentleman walked leisurely down the aisle to the stage and began expostulating about the students not com- plying with laws. I leaned forward and asked Miss Cox, the orchestra director, who he was, and in the same dignified way she informed me that he was the principal, Mr. Kinsey. 1 concluded that by leaps and bounds he had gained the ardent admiration of the faculty, students, and patrons through the Basket Ball ' orld and had retired to this position. He introduced the speaker of the afternoon as Mrs. Carrie Temple- ton, Superintendent of the Young Peoples ' Division of the National Hookey Players ' Society, whose topic for discussion was Why I Believe Students in High School Should Play Hookey At Least Once a Week. In her speech she said that the Seniors grow weary and need rest, due to their being sensitive and too timid to ask permission to rest. They should at- tend one good matinee each week without being questioned as to their whereabouts. I sighed, wishing that she might have wielded an influ- ence over the faculty before ' 24 made its exit. The orchestra harmoniously rendered When You and I Were Young, Maggie, and a duet was sung to that old familiar strain by the two choristers, Mr. Michael and Miss Hoft ' man. A pep meeting was then held, over which Miss Etter presided, as- sisted by Mr. Murray. They filled the place held by Glenn, Payne and Yergens in ' 24 and the response was as the tinkling of a cowbell in the icy ear of night, a whisper to the longing. The meeting closed by all singing Auld Lang Syne. I took the elevator to the third floor that I might see the Chemistry sharks in session. To my surprise Miss Dunathan was conducting the classes and delivering a speech on the same old topic of chewing gum. i I i but encouraging all students to buy some from Mr. Frantz, who sold re- I freshments between periods, such as Eskimo Pies, popcorn, Henry ' s, and i pop. The students were trying to find the constituents of water and I i was the recipient of the knowledge that water is made up of H20 from ' the shark of the class, who disvovered it one day when a test-tube rose to the ceiling and descended upon her head. All students made E. Hail to Suter! He did too, for he and Louise Ewlng had turned their eyes upon a beautiful bungalow and the result was — they both paid 50% of the cost and their days of single bliss were o ' er. However, Albert has discovered that a blow on the head is com- posed of a fair lady ' s hand and a rollin ' pin. I The type-writing class was instructed by Miss Emma Kline, who i taught the value of typing love letters. All letters of amorous senti- i ment were written here. Her sister, the fair Miss Alice, was instructor j in voice cultur e and spent her spare time singing I Love You Truly to I him in a far-away country across the sea. Just who he is, I could I not learn. I Miss Hamer, at the head of the Bureau of Information, gave me the I honor of reading a letter from Peking, China, from my old debating coach. I The contents of the letter were as follows: I We arrived safely, had rice for dinner, spent the afternoon playing on a harp. Edna sends her best wishes. Fluffy (our dog) died soon after arriving. ' Hope you are the same. McCabe. ' I found Miss Moore and Miss Bloom supervising a class in the study of cosmetics, their application and value. ■ Tiptoeing into the library to greet the weary librarian, I amazingly found Miss Koch, stern and resolute of expression and cold in speech. Hastily I left the room, not a student lifted his eyes from his book. Boldly I rushed down the hall and found Miss Cage instructing the girls in the - art of making pies without baking them, plan — order them from the : baker. j My next tour was impeded by a short lady with bobbed hair, who sup- I ported the cause of note-writing and saw that no one exchanged notes 1 with the wrong person. The lady was Miss Altman. I Mrs. Sayler was the competent stenographer of Mr. Kinsey ; and Miss I Burnside, with her private car, made daily investigation of the number ' of girls attending the theater, from Miss Weiford ' s dancing class. There were rumors of the latter ' s marriage to a minister from Brown ' s Corner, and Miss Burnside entertained hope of answering Kinsey ' s question with a yes . Cupid has shot an arrow through the head of the weary. At last Norma Nagel is happily wedded and she and her friends, Mrs. Sayle j and Mrs. Potts, were selling the Fiery Cross on the corner of John and j Guilford streets. Annoyed by their voices, I went to the basement to I visit the mechanical work-shop. Mrs. Branyan sang melodies of sym- I phony, gaining sympathy as the boys forged away. I i I ' ■) 1)1 r. [ s. I attended a basket ball game before leaving and was delighted with the coach, Mr. Shock. The team played Anderson, and Huntington won 50 to 5. A snake dance was held on the comer of Jefferson and Market streets, Mrs. Mann leading the procession. Other lambs from the faculty had strayed from the fold. Stepping into the office of Judge Mahoney, I learned that he had re- cently granted a divorce to Waneta Clark ' s husband. The plaintiff al- leged that his wife typed all day and he received no meals. Pausing before a window arrayed in an assortment of old furniture, the proprietor came out and urged me to buy a beautiful hand-painted tooth brush, brilliant in color and used only four times by Mrs. McCrum. I recognized Mrs. Poineer and she readily explained her humble position, attributing it to betting on students ' grades; those she trusted forgot to study. Lastly I met Miss Gray, grayer than ever, who had been painting a picture of a Senior ' s dream of the real kind of life. The picture showed soldiers standing at ease. Not understanding the changes in the faculty, customs, and convic- tions of the school, I looked to Father Time and he replied that he was re- sponsible for all things. Happily I saw that he had not changed the foundation of the success of Huntington High School. Here ' s to the faculty! May it guide H. H. S. through the years to come and find its reward as a donor of service. Velma Van Dine. ADMONITION TO THE CLASS OF 1924 FROM THE FACULTY The members of the faculty, because of their many years of experience with high school pupils, are the best fitted to judge what advice would be most helpful to the graduates in later years. In this department we give the instructors an opportunity of aiding the Seniors of 1924 with counsel which they believe to be most productive of noble thought and high ambition. For this reason we have created this feature of the annual, trusting that the readers will find therein the keys to Success and apply them to their own lives. MR, BYERS — It takes the uncommon thing to attract the common mind, and the common thing to attract the uncommon mind. MRS. POIMER— This above all, to thine own self be true, .Vnd it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. MISS KOCH — The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you de- sire to appear. MRS. TEMPLETON — They fail, and they alone who have not striven. MISS A. KLINE — Be noble, and the nobleness that lies in othei-s sleeping but never dead, will rise in majesty to meet thine owti. MR. KINSEY — Yesterday is dead— forget it; Tomorrow does not exist — don ' t worry; Today is here — use it. MR. DAY — By sparing ourselves the daily task, we dig the grave of our higher possibilities. MISS EWING — Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for courtesy. MR. MURRAY — If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. — Now put them forward. MR. SUTER. — When you can ' t remove an obstacle, plow around it. MISS HAMER — A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep or taste not that Pyrean spring. MISS CAGE — When the high heai-t we magnify, And the sure vision celebrate, And worship greatness passing by. Ourselves are great. MRS. McCRUM — The more you have to do, the more you can accomplish — for you learn to economize your time. MRS. SAYLER— Not of the sunlight. Not of the moonlight. Not of the starlight! young mariner, Down to the haven. Call your companions, Launch your vessel. And crowd your canvas, And, ere it vanishes Over the margin, After it, follow it. Follow the gleam. MRS. MANN — The scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar. MISS KLINE — He who kills time is the assassin of his own opportunity. MISS COX — Let all the ends thou aim ' st at be thy counti-y ' s, Thy God ' s and truth ' s. MISS DUNATHAN — Let us have faith that right makes might, and that in faith let us dare to do our duty as we undei-stand it. MISS HOFFMAN — Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship. MISS MOORE— Be brief; be fruitful. MISS ALTMAN — Be pleasant every morning until ten o ' clock; the rest of the day will take care of itself. MISS GRAY — Worry not for what others are thinking about you — the intelligent have already formed an opinion and the rest aren ' t intelligent enough to form one. MISS BURNSIDE — Jolly the fellow that ' s down today. And give him a smile for his son-ow, This world, you know, has a funny way. And you may be down tomorrow. MR, FRANTZ — Plan more than you can do. Then do it; Bite off more than you can chew. Then chew it; Hitch your wagon to a star. Keep your seat. And there you are. MRS. BRANYAN — A great man is made up of qualities that meet or make great occasions. MISS WEIFORD — Happiness is a butterfly which when pursued, is always just be- yond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight on you. MR. SHOCK — Do good with what thou hast or it vdll do thee no good. MISS CLARK — In battle or business, whatever the game, In law or in love, it is ever the same. In the struggle for power, or scramble for pelf. Let this be your motto: Rely on yourself. MR. MAHONEY — We are put into this world to make it better, and we must be about our business. MR. MICHAEL — The secret of life is not to do what one likes but to try to like what one has to do. M O D U L U S I i DONATELLO ' S EARS i come and tell about those ears I Beneath thy curls concealed ; I And help me to allay the fears ! To which my life doth yield. If faun, why dost thou linger near To tempt the human heart? If youth, then why thy shrinking fear, From all of human art? i Why dost thou dance across the plain And heavenly music play ; To charm the landscape and the main, And keep mankind at bay? Why dost thou dwell where humans go Upon the rock ' s high crag. And shiver at the depths below, — With ease here like the stag? • Thy haunts are far away from men j Thy pipe he cannot know ; j But thou dost charm us in the fen, j Or on the mountain ' s brow. j Why dost thou steal the maiden ' s heart j And fold it to thine own, j When ' tis forbid on fauns ' part j To mix with man alone? | i But here the mystery still remains, — j Dost human passions know? j Dost thou receive for all thy pains, j Alone a faun ' s woe? { I Deep in each human curly head, j And sparkle from each eye, { The coy and faunlike sprite is bred j Which calls from earth to sky ! j j Until we wonder if the ears j Of youth have points above ; | And still, protesting in our fears, j Both faun and youth we love. I i I Thirty-one ' The faun and human mix with ease I And with proportions true; j The godlike given, if you please, j As well as earthly hue. 1 I Then why protest the faun ' s ears , Are pointed at the top? ' ■- As earth recedes, as heaven nears, : ■ t: The faun must rise or drop. The faun in man the artist is, I The youth his playground bright. I What fonder hope for man than this : I That both keep each in sight. And down earth ' s valleys arm in arm Dispense their music sweet. Until all earth is held in charm And prostrate at their feet. — Charles Emory Byers. Classes i SSLS UTOGRAPH TStHkii etii 0V2 WILI lAM YERGENS Our Senior President. A good student and an accomplished Basket Ball player; a member of the Y Celt champion team. But ' tis said a certain little Junior girl al- ready has possession of his medal — watch your step, Bill boy. HELEN SLATER Helen has developed into one of our good singers. She is a quiet girl, but still she seems to do a good bit of thinking. Her answers in Mr. Byers ' English class have served to produce E ' s on her report, what more could one ask ? NORMAN POINIER Behold, the butler. Oh yes, and Norman acted his part in the Senior play much to his credit. He has served his class to an advantage in many instances and has nearly proved himself a steadfast student, but alas, he has a failing for the weaker sex. MARY CATHERINE MILLER Mary Catherine is one of those bright ones that left us in January and is now pursuing her studies at Huntington College. She was the star of Miss Koch ' s French class and could be located easily by her ever ready giggle. RICHARD WEyPRIGHT As our Junior President, Richard did much for the success of our class last year. A gooii student and alaways ready to do his part in any bit of work. We don ' t know who his best lady friend is at present, but you remember the certain young lady that graduated last year. EDITH HECK Edith is another of our 4-2 English sharks. Quiet and unassuming, as she is, she has gained many friends in H. H. S.. Also takes after her sister, Gladys, in Economic work. She will make a good house-wife we are sui ' e. — Now don ' t rush boys, Edith will take care of herself. ROBERT WASMUTH Sorry girls, but he is already quite devoted to Florence and we fear there is no hope. Bob is one of these fellows that gives us something to think about when it comes to answering questions. We fully expect to find him selling Kitchen Maids one of these days. MARY JONES Ever true to Bernard. Mary has accomplished wonders as our Art Editor. She is always in a good humor and ready to help anyone out of a difficulty. We are sure that Mary ' s talent will gain recognition for her in future years. 7 r -.i. JOE MOLLIS As an all around chore boy Joe takes the berries. He is a rather quiet boy, but still he has made many friends in school. He has managed to get his work in school up so that he may graduate with his brother George. KATHERINE JUILLERAT An accomplished pianist ' n ' everything. At the latest report is somewhat in- terested in Norman. A regular Frenchie wlien it comes to talking, and so forth. Al- ways ( ? ) known to pay attention in English class. Can be found with Peg. ARTHUR FINN Our gentleman of style, one can hear many a fair maiden remark about his good looking suits. Yes, he steps out, and quite often, we hear. Arthur is one of these heart-breaking sheiks, but we don ' t believe that he is really very dangerous. MARY ELIZABETH PRATT Here is a girl who is very studious and brings in a long line of E ' s. Was the only girl with nerve enough to take up the study of Physics this year, and we ad- mire her for continuing. We aren ' t acquainted v ith her Romeo, if she has one. CASSIUS KELLER Our studious and practical young gentleman. He can astonish us all with his answers in English, and by the way doesn ' t he make a regular statistical poet ? Cassius might have graduated last year, and now has just loads of credits. VELMA VAN DINE Throughout her high school years Velma has proved her worth as an orator and has won many honors for H. H. S. During this time she has also kept up her studies and gotten good grades. At the present time she is rather undecided whether it shall be Merrill or Harold. HAROLD THOMPSON Ah — ' tis the royal Prince Caspian. Harold also acted his part of the peddler quite well. Has been learning the art of Public Speaking and is also kept busy try- ing to translate Cicero ' s Orations. Well, we wish him good luck. RUTH MICKLEY Ruth seems to have a different man every time she is seen. We don ' t know where she gets them all, but are anxious for some information. We might go to Clear Creek. May be found either with Myrtle or Geraldine, or sometimes with Byron Richards himself. V- « ■ji l M K ' T y - . -.-■ HMMHT «9 ■B PV %. HL ' t n m k iCr l V :i o HARRY MONTAGUE Harry is a member of our well known basket ball team. A good singer and oh, the girls do envy him his curly hair. He has always been studious and popular with the women, but he is now very devoted to a certain Josephine — now, guess the rest. DOROTHY SHOCK And when she starts to laugh — watch out. Dorothy is a regular society lady. Has high ideals when it comes to studying and tries to carry them out. A very good actor and pianist, but only few people ever hear her play. She is very bashful, you know. AUSTIN SCHELL Here is one of our members that is rather small but mighty. Austin is known to be able to hand some of the teachers a regular line. While devoting much of his time to Emma he still managed to work well in writing up our sports. DOROTHY MULLIN Dorothy is one of those girls who laugh all sorrow away. Is well liked by many because of her friendly disposition and good nature. Her dates are many. She will be leaving town shortly after school is out and we are sure she will be missed very much. EDWARD McNALLY Edward is another one of the few that we have not learned to know very well during our years in H. H. S. He is a boy who has devoted his time to studying (?) and other amusements because he probably has not cared for the limelight. MYRTLE METCALF She may seem to be a rather quiet girl, but she isn ' t when you know her. We just can ' t keep track of all her dates, they are much too numerous for our limited im- agination. We know one secret though, she had a failing for a certain grocery clerk — honest. PAUL MORSE Mush! Mush! Leave it to Paul to tell these lady loves where to head in As our Business Manager he has worked with a will to succeed, and he has succeeded. He strives to please, especially his beloved Bui Bui. We hear that certain girls con- sidered asking him to the Leap Year Banquet. Beware! MARY PASTOR Mary has gone through high school in three years, more or less. She is very quiet and rather shy, but she may surprise us one of these days and do something real bold and daring. She has been a good student and a hard worker. Never seen without Thelma. r.? ?    ■ MMnL ARTHUR PALMER Our business-like young man who can be seen every afternoon taking up the ab- sentee list. His acting in the Senior play brought recognition and we might advise him to take up acting as a profession. In the time he has been with us Arthur has proved to be a good student and has acquired many friends. EUNICE ROWLEY Eunice has been with us but a short while, having come here after attending high school in Bloomington and Angola. She has found many friends and is well liked by many, especially by Lowell, who fell for her after she had been here but a short time. LOWELL WILLIAMS Yes, Lowell took a leading part in the Mikado having played the part of the distinguished gentleman himself. He presents some very reasonable arguments in 4-2 English, and sometimes they are accepted. He is now employed in a jewelry store and will no doubt soon start out on his own hook. THELMA MORGAN Thelma is one of the shining lights of our class, and we happen to have eight or nine of them this year. They are always welcome. She is envied because of her radiant hair and is the life of a crowd. A good student in English and the best pal of Florence Whitelock. HERBERT NEWELL A lad who can make us laugh at any time, has gained a reputation for his droll humor. Herbert is quite a talented cartoonist and we are sure he will be able to use this ability to a great advantage. A Public Speaking student and an admirer of certain voung ladies. MABEL LAHM Talk about red hair, Mabel has it. But she should be proud of it, and we feel that she is, for she has not as yet applied the shears to it. A good Art student and also well versed in the line of English. Is the sister of Red Lahm. ALDEAN TODD Aldean has clerked in a drug store and prepared his lessons well while he was thus employed. He has many friends in school and is considered rather good looking especially by some of these out-of-town girls. Also a Shark ( ? ) when it comes to Bookkeeping. ANNABELLE CAIN Here we are, bring on the chewing gum. Cnitch has a long list of admirers, but she is prejudiced toward Carl, just now. She has never been known to miss a dance, but she manages to keep going with her school work. Has her hair bobbed now. gg. .£ 7f iy- ' . -g, , - ■ . . j jp  f.s«rf.V. - X ' tL ' J  diaE:-J;J fe W - PARHAM KELLEY Parham has carried Gi ' ammar and 4-2 English both this term and has managed well. His answers in English often surprise us all, they are terribly deep. Is usually busy chewing a match; need any help, Parham? NONDES HUYETTE Whenever we see Nondes we always expect to see Georgia or Rowena somewhere close by. She has studied more of the commercial subjects and will thus be able to get along in a business way. She is following in the steps of her sister and has one man ' s life to her credit, do you remember? HAROLD KINDLER Here is a boy who is prone to keep rather quiet, but when he makes a recitation we know that he has been quiet because he was thinking deeply. Harold has not been with us all four years but has still made many friends in H. H. S. GERALDINE KRONMILLER A girl who likes ' em all. Gei-aldine left H. H. S. to go to Ft. Wayne, but came back to gi-aduate with her class, which shows that she knows a good class when she finds it. We are glad to have her in our number and congratulate her on coming back. CLUM BUCHER Our all around athlete. When Glum gets in the game we know he means busi- ness. A great favorite of the girls, but alas! It is too late, a fair maiden in our capital city has his heart and we don ' t think there is much danger of her losing it. MARY HELEN GIERHART One of our long haired lasses — one of the few . Has a man at Purdue, and is always faithful to him. Often seen in Virginia Seigmund ' s Ford and she even drives it too. Don ' t tell anyone but we hear she wants her hair bobbed, — can it be possible? HENRY EWING Hank is one of our rather small boys, has rosy cheeks ' n ' everything. However, he is a regular fellow and can most always be heard somewhere in the midst of the bunch. Is always quiet in school and sometimes bashful. BEULAH CLASS Beulah comes to us from the country, don ' t you bet she is some cook, boys ? Can be k Dwn by her dark black locks, and they ' re long too. Is a studious girl and has her share of friends in the high school. ■■ «i ' -!t. ' Mj: M O 1 I 4 --- ..■i ' SSrvv:: ; !. ™ ' hi BIRDETTE REDDING Our Radio Bug . Has them all outclassed when it conies to tinkering with the radio and getting extraordinary results. Flies around town in his Lizzie and has been the main-stay of 4-1 Geometry hikes. Doesn ' t like the girls, only his sisters. ERMA BURTON Our honorable Editress has a man clear down in California and he ' s a musi- cian, too. As Lady Ida she quite surprised us with her manner of love making, but this is Leap Year, and besides, look who he was! A wonderful student, the envy of all Freshmen. CHARLES HALSEY A quiet boy but still a good actor. As the leading man in the Senior play he ac- complished wonders. A regular woman-hater, but we are sure he will some day change his mind. A good student and a faithful worker. MARGARET STEELE What a laugh she has, but it is genuine. Mr. Byers doesn ' t seem to be able to see why Peg can ' t keep more orderly in English, but it just isn ' t natural that ' s all. She has just loads of friends, in school and out. MERRILL RUBLE As editor of the Modulus, Merrill has made a great success and deserves due credit. A good student and a wonderful orator, he won the cup and other honors for H. H. S.. Before this year he was classed as a regular bachelor, but them days are gone forever. His latest is a Junior. PAULINE MAHONEY Here is Miss Olivia, our leading lady. Pauline surely won much praise with her skillful acting in the Senior play. Has served on most all of the Junior and Senior committees for her class and has been an all around good scholar. LOGAN LEHMAN Oh boy! Isn ' t he a regular ladies man ? Logan once had a hobby of getting kicked out of Chemistry, or something to that effect. Is always ready to partake of any pleasure the crowd suggests and has many jokes over it all. ADENA ALDRIDGE A young lady with a will all her own. She is known for her brilliant answers in 4-2 English. A great basket ball fan and an ardent admirer of Poe. She tells us she is leaving for Chicago as soon as school is out, what ' s the attraction, Adena? ODIM iP RUBY WELLER Ruby is one of the girls who has helped to scatter sunshine among all the girls in school. Also a very studious girl and generally has her lessons. Has long curls that are the envy of all the girls in the underclasses, and they ' re pink, just like her sister ' s. GARTH McDORMAN A regular artist ' n ' everything. He has helped with the stage settings and the art work for almost every entertainment that the high school has put on. Is out for a good time any old day. By the way have you ever seen him in his artist ' s smoek? Some class. GEORGIA McCONKEY Georgie is one of these atti-active brunettes and has plenty of friends among boys and girls. She has been seen quite frequently with Beaner Neuer lately and we fear that she is fast slipping. HORACE PASTOR Here is a boy who says so much (?) that we can hardly hear ourselves think when he is around. Nevertheless he has studied some of the time and sometimes even recites, good work. Is a dandy basket ball player and has won much admira- tion through his good playing-. ROWENA REETZ Yoo Hoo, Georgia! ' n ' that ' s that. Rowena has her own opinions about cer- tain things and always says just what she thinks. It must be that she goes outside of the high school bunch to find her dates because we seldom see her with a high school fellow. BYRON RICHARDS Byron didn ' t make it last year so he decided to stick to it and graduate with the class of ' 24. A vnse decision. Has a regular marcel in his hair and is rated as a real heart-breaker among the girls. HELEN RITTENHOUSE Another one of these shy, modest little girls and very studious. An interested basket ball fan, we wonder if there might happen to be some certain attraction among the players. Always willing to help the Sunshine society, etc. CLARENCE ROE Clarence came to our class last year from Decatur, and made quite a hit the first thing. Has joined in the school spirit and was one of the boys presented with an H for playing football. He has made many friends and we are glad to call him one of our number. VELDA SHROYER Here is another one of our new acquaintances, but we have learned to know her well and lilce her. In 4-2 English she gives us some surprising answers, but they de- liver the goods. CURTIS SHOCK The most bashfullest boy we know, especially around the girls. Is he studious ? — well, he has mastered Chemistry and Physics, judge for yourself. But he also has lotsa pep and hangs out with his South Side gang. EILEEN STRAUSS The professional gum chewer can break all records. But Eileen works while she chews. If you don ' t believe it just see what she has accomplished in Typewriting and Shorthand. Is always to be found with her pals Neuer and Eisenhauer . Othei-wise with Joe. OTTO STROCK A very business like boy who saved many of the Seniors a big expense on their cards. He is well started in the printing trade, and who knows but that he may some day have a press all his own. Is an expert (?) at typing shorthand. His old sidekick is Marion Ryan. IRENE SANDS Here is a girl who has made a good record in high school. Because of her quiet way we have not learned to know her well, but feel sure that she would make a worthy friend. When it comes to men Irene is always supplied. CLYDE HEASTON Yes, he dropped out of school for a while but showed good judg:ment in re- turning to graduate. We do not know much about his work in the classrooms, but whenever we see him in the halls he is devoting all his attention to Janet. MARY HARRELL Mary is one of our Seniors who has managed to graduate in three years. By means of Cupid we have heard that she has a failing for red-headed people. We must warn you to beware of these fiery Harts . An all around good student. GERALD YOUNG Once in a while we come across a boy who seems to delight in serving- others. Gerald does this thing when he clerks in the Drug store. Drives an Olds car and can step on it at times. Is another one of these hard-working Physics students. ii2mi ' mi s st .XtMr K : i:4 - ' : :- :.: krhl DONNA ZENT Donna has the distinction and satisfaction of being- engaged. We wish her much happiness. One of our members who showed great skill in acting her part in the Senior play. . A member of our Orchestra and the Cashier at Penny ' s. FRED ZEIGLER A real for sure fanner lad. Can give you any infornuation from how to milk a cow to how to butcher, etc. Is a very studious lad and usually puts his knowledge to some practical application especially in Civics. MARION VAN DINE We feel that Marion ' s days of single bliss will soon be over, for at the latest re- port she takes her man to Sunday School and even belongs to a young married peo- ple ' s class. Pretty fast work. Another shark at Bookkeeping-. TALMADGE TOMLINSON Tommy is a boy who knows the value of good company and is usually seen all by himself. He has not been so well known as some of our other members, but he has his good qualities, we are sure of that. CLARA THORN Here is another one of our country lasses who has stayed with it until she got her high school work satisfactorily completed. Is quite a good Art student and is especially interested in Home Economics. TOM WHEELER Our sentimental lad, oh yes! A regular dance hound and particularly blessed with the gift of the gab. He is the life of Miss Koch ' s French classes and known for his numerous dates. We know nothing concerning his plans for the future. MARY WIRT Shy but alluring. Mary hasn ' t been with us long but nevertheless has many friends. She has managed to make a hit with several of our high school sheiks, but has never proclaimed her choice. Has also joined the ranks in 4-2 English. HAROLD STULTS Yes, he ' s from the country too. He was the boy who so delightfully entertained the members of our class at his home on the Mishler Pike. Has tackled the study of Physics and we hope he finds success in all the problems he meets in life. I LAURA TELFER Who ' s Cap did Laura have at the Tournament this year, now we wonder. Al- though she never has much to say she has found her best friends in her high school days. — We hear that she has started taking early morning walks to reduce. DAMON VOGHT Wouldn ' t we be surprised if Damon would some day come into the limelight as a great musician ? But one can never tell what the members of this distinguished class may do. Was once upon a time a devoted lover, but times have changed. BERNEICE LOBDELL Berneice has won much favorable comment, in school and out, because of her abil- ity to play the cornet. She has been with us only one year and we v ish that it might have been longer. She came to us from Banquo and can point out her numerous ad- mirers there. JOHN WHITELOCK JoTin is a student who has done his work well and has conducted himself so as to gain a place as an Honor Student. He is prone to keep his thoughts to himself so we cannot tell what his plans for the future are, maybe he will take over the grocery busi- ness. VECIL SPARKS A girl who has worked hard trying to get her lessons. She never has much to say in class but can tell us all about farm work, outside of class. Can almost always be found with her friend Edith Gordon. CHARLES COLLETT Charles went with his parents when they first moved out of town, but he has now come back to graduate with his class. We are glad to see you ' re back, professor. Was always a target for Suter ' s puzzling questions in Chemistry. NONDAS RUDIG Our wonderful pianist, can rattle off the music as fast as some of our profes- sionals; can typewrite. Is a rather quiet girl, but we are told she knows her stuff without a doubt. Is the best pal of Berneice Lobdell, Great minds run in the same channel. HUSTON SMITH The possessor of the most wonderful curly hair, and we understand that he is willing to trade it for some nice straight locks. Here ' s your chance gii ' ls, but don ' t rush, because he ' s rather bashful. A great lover of the Poet and Peasant , we like it too. t:: r c;; ' ' , ; 4 f: ' • ' -x t; - v ' ' W -TS S iJib. t 3Kh ■ jL MARVEL SHULTZ Here is a girl who can whistle better than any bird we are acquainted with. Has entertained us in the Auditorium at different times and has won hearty applause. Also a member of our Orchestra and a good worker, just ask Marion. MAURICE SMETZER Maurice is so quiet that we hardly know he is in class but he is a very good stu- dent and has earned all of his g ' ood grades. He has told us in English that he believes that everyone should decide on his life work and then pursue it. We are sure that he has done this. NELLIE HAMMEL Nellie is a member of the Honor Society, and she seems to be a natural bom poetess. She can answer questions in Senior English like a book, but we would like for her to answer the question, — who is he? Nellie has a great life program before her. MARCELLUS LAHR Marcellus is one of our small articles, but we have always believed it is quality, not quantity, that counts. He has tackled Chemistry and Physics and has made a regular touchdown . Has his own particular bunch of friends. MILDRED HOOVER Such a bashful little girl, it is hard for one to learn to know her real well. Usually has most of her lessons. We hear she plays the piano, especially for the Aristos. Has plenty of friends among the high school girls. CLAUDE GORDON Claude comes to us from the country. Drives a Chevy and just makes the dust fly some times. His father is a school teacher and so Claude can naturally hand the teachers a regular line but he usually knows what he is talking about. MARTHA HICKS We haven ' t heard much about Martha this last term; she has been making her- self scarce, it seems. She is another one of our girls that never has much to say. She has specialized more along the line of Home Economics, maybe for a good rea- son, who knows? VIRGIL DINIUS Virgil appeared in the midst of the football candidates last year and later proved that he could play quite well. We were rather surprised for he had never appeared in the limelight before and is considered very bashful. A good beginning, Virgil. Fnrty- I i ALLIE DAVIS And here is the French shark, they say she surpassed all other pupils in her abil- ity to translate. She is also one of our newer members but has gained quite a reputation on account of good work in her different classes. EMMET COZAD Always faithful to Helen. Another of our far-famed basket ball players. Has the distinction of being a twin, how lucky! It is said that he has been the shark of all his English classes. We wonder how he does it. EDITH ERVIN Can she giggle ? We hope to tell you that she can, without a doubt. It is said that she tries aw ' fully hard to get her lessons, and sometimes she does, bravo! Is one of the famous trio of Edith ' s and can usually be found with one of them. NEIL CRULL Our maiT-ied man, almost! President of the Honor Society and our Advertis- ing Manager. Always gets to class at about fourteen after, you can guess the reason why. Also the proud owner of a most accomodating Lizzie . HELEN HOSLER Neil ' s better half. As the Princess Bui Bui, Helen proved to us that she really could sing like a Nightingale. And did you see the flowers that she got? We can ' t imagine whence they came. She has done good work in the Commercial studies and made both the teams. DALLAS CLASS Instead of staying on the farm, Dallas has come to high school and finished his education and we admire him for sticking with it. We never hear him say much, but we hear he knows lots to say, at times. EDITH GORDON A rather small girl %vith lots of pep. Can easily be identified by the cute little dimple in her chin, and we hear she classes it as one of the important features of her beauty. Rides her bicycle to and from school with great skill. A good student and a good sport. ROBERT BROWN Robert is another of our little boys, little but mighty. Br-r-r! Always full of pep and ready to take any dare. Likes to match wits with Mr. Murray, but he don ' t always come out best. This worthy teacher prizes Bob as his pet adding machine. -T ' t Tjr- - Foriii-fn-r ADA BLICKENSTAFF A quiet unassuming maid, never seen without her best friend, Mabel. Many times she has surprised us with her excellent answers in 4-2 English. Also a good Art student and a diligent worker. We are sure she will make good after she leaves school. EUGENE BARTAWAY A lad who hails from the country and don ' t care who knows it. Is a bright mark in Mrs. Poinier ' s classes. And can he remember dates, ah yes! At the latest reports he had not found his one and only , but he will before long. Good luck, Eugene! EDNA BROWN Edna is one of our prim maidens, always looks just so. Is known to have her books full of notes at most any time although we don ' t attempt to say where she gets ' em. We hear too that she is quite a success at Typewriting. GEORGE LAWYER We missed seeing George in the halls this last temi and also in taking up the absentee lists. We found that he had notions of his own about getting 4-2 English. He has probably already started on his line of work in the Business world. BEATRICE BAYLESS A girl who has worked hard enough and well enough to make her way through in three and a half years. Is known for her ability in writing love stories. Do we dare assume that she writes from experience ? DONALD LIND Jumbo has lately tried out for quite a few of the sports and has made some measure of success in football and basket ball. He will be a star pitcher one of these days. A good enough student, when he gets his lessons. OLIVE BRANSTRATOR Yes, she graduates this year, although she is so quiet most of the time we almost forget that she belongs in our class. Spends much time working on her lessons, and she usually has them all. Is always ready to do anything she is asked to do for her School. ARTHUR MAUGER Yes, here ' s Mike Mauger himself. As you all know, he can talk a blue streak and still not get much said. Always full of fun and ready to take a joke even when it does happen to be on him. Just eats up Bookkeeping. ■ , , — m rr p r -« • 0 Sit -. i BEL ' LAH CHALFANT Beulah has the ability to argue, we would warn you to watch what you say. She is always in a good humor and can produce a hearty giggle at any time, conveni- ent or inconvenient. We have heard that she writes notes too. LOUIS PITRUCELLE Some of the boys started to grow mustaches this year, and Louis was one of the number. But something seemed to change his mind about it, we wonder what it was. When Mr. Byers asked him What ' s up? he was up against a stiff question but he did well with it. LOUISE DRUMMOND Always interested in girl ' s basket ball, Louise has become quite a player herself. She charms many with her singing and seems to have made a real hit with certain young men from Andrews. We fear that another good girl is hopelessly lost. GERALD SAAL Here is a boy who has worked straight through with his class in a good manner. He is usually to be found having a grand old time in one of Suter ' s Gym classes. We do not know what his plans for the future are but we are sure he will get along well. JEANNETTE SALE As one of the literary editors, Jeanette has, as always, proved herself capable and steady. She ' s a good friend of everybody, especially Gene. Her choice of the hardest subjects is a good symptom of her ambition. She will succeed in everything she undertakes , even housekeeping! BRICE WARE Brice spends almost all of his time outside of the school working at the Filling Station where he has a regular job. Has just loads of friends and the girls say he dances divinely . A hard working student and usually has his lessons. JANET JACOBSON It isn ' t everyone who can have diamond rings like Janet can. We feel that she might be able to give us all some helpful hints. She is now very much interested in her friend Peachy and this, together with her school work, makes her very busy. RUSSELL WARKENTINE The teachers can soon find out that Russell knows what he is talking about when he makes a recitation. Has mastered some of the harder subjects and has found many friends in helping others along. Has his own particular crowd of fellows. i y-lf- j|j ; ? 3 ' : p. J ' if ' ' i ' y i MAKTHA COTTON Our Coal Black Mammy . She has taken Public Speaking and is able to hand anybody a line, even Cassius. Has spoken to us in the Auditorium in quite a fearless manner and we congratulate her for her courage. Her best friend is Helen Slater. MAURICE BANISTER One of these bright and studious boys. A member of the Honor Society and known to have his lessons always. We feel that in his quiet way he will make a place in the business world, and we wTsh him every success. GENEVIEVE GASKIN One of our best singers and we are sure that she will some day gain recognition through her singing. She has a Sheik all her own in Marion and always has a box of candy on hand, now we wonder why ? LILLIAN HARDIN Lillian is a country lass who does not seem to take much interest in her present location but likes to stay in town. She also makes frequent trips to Ohio, an she tells us there is a reason. Can always give one any information needed. MILDRED RISER Yes, Mildred wears a diamond ring on her left hand, but we cannot tell for sure whether it really means anything serious or not. She is rather thoughtful and quiet and usually has her work all prepared. MARK SMITH Isn ' t he good looking? He is always full of fun and as a kidder he can ' t be beat. His answers in 4-2 English are very deep, fluently expressed and come up to a high standard. He has been with us just this last year but in that time has dis- tinguished himself with his remarkable basket ball playing. VIRGINIA DOUDNA As President of the Sunshine Society in her Junior year, Virginia did much to help the gir ls of the high school in their social activities in school. She is a rather quiet girl, but gets her lessons and is always faithful to Clarence. RUSSELL RITTGERS Russell is our real big boy , six feet and three inches in his stocking feet. He can often make us all laugh with his witty recitations, but he gives us some good ideas along - vith his fun. He is responsible in a large part for the success of our book by his soliciting advertisements for the Modulus. Has a Hudson car and is willmg to take you for a ride. •4 o n I .--- ' ' f . HO v T ' TT - ' : ' - I j i RUTH SHIDELER Ruth has been in almost all of our Choi-us plays and has helped to make them a success. Is now interested in Ira. For other information just stop at the Coffee Ranch. OLIVE AMISS Olive left us in January and has been attending Noi ' th IWanchester College. P oni what we hear she has been keeping up with the standard she made in H. H. S. She was always a quiet girl in school but kept us guessing when it came to having out-of- town dates. Who next? HORACE CUTSHALL Here is the professional soda squirt at the Cut Rate. Has a way with the girls that seems to make a hit, even though he never says much in class. He used to have a red racer and flew all around to ' n in it. GEORGE HOLLIS George has spent only a part of his time in school this last term and the rest has been used in working, either at the Gas Station or at a Grocery store. He has a slow and easy manner and we have never seen him when he was hurrying. ROBERT BECK Here is the last of our shining lights and his hair is curly too. He played foot- ball last year and helped the team out much. It is rumored that he has a girl in Ft. Wayne and goes to that city quite often. ' - ' - ' -- - HARRY PEARMAN Our husky backguard; whenever a player came in contact with Harry he seldom got any further. He has lately joir.ed the ranks of our drug clerks and we are sure he can draw the crowds with his rosy cheeks and general good looks. s ■o?- v- -„ ,M O I) II I U S I i i SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY j The first day of April had seemingly brought summer with it. The i sport editor in his office in the Tribune Tower, lazily stretched and then settled back for a nap. Then the door opened and a voice growled, By the seven brass gates of Jehannum ! Get out to Bartlett gym and cover that national high school basket ball tourney. I forgot to tell you about it when you got back from New York yesterday. The sport writer, herein called X — , forgot about spring fever, and left to cover his assignment. He had arrived from New York the previous day, ' ' ' where he had covered the battle for the fistic heavyweight championship : between Battling Batteiger and Six Second Burt Smith, so he hadn ' t known that the big toui-nament started on this morning. X arrived at the University gym, which was still doing sei-vice, : just as the two first teams wei-e dribbling out on the floor. The support- j ing rooters had calmed down sufficiently to start their organized yells as X took his seat in the Press box. The 30th Annual Interscholastic Basket Ball Tournament conducted by the University of Chicago was open- ing according to the usual form. The sports editor looked about him. Directly at his back rose a section of bleachers that flaunted red and black colors. Their team was evidently about to play. Three yell leaders dressed in red and black costumes were going through the preliminary motions necessary in leading a yell. Then X jumped. He couldn ' t believe his ears. Thrills ran thi-ough him, for this was the yell they were giving: YEA INDIANA! YEA INDIANA! ' FIGHT, HOOSIERS, FIGHT ! I So the team in red and black suits was the champions of X ' s native state. A man arose from a seat beside X , stumbled and fell on his ear, but arore again to yell Yea team ! The excited personage was no other than Herbert Newell, the Tribune ' s great cartoonist. He had graduated in the same class with X , the class of ' 24. But X soon received another great thrill, greater than the one be- fore. The crowd at his back was now yelling: I H. H. H. U. N. T. T. T. I. N. G. T. T. T. 0. N.! I H.U.N.T.I.N.G.T.O.N. I HUNTINGTON! HUNTINGTON! HUNTINGTON! 1 So this team was that of Huntington High School, the best high school I in Indiana to X and Newell because it was their alma mater. And at ' last they had won a state championship and were now hunting for bigger game. X looked to see if he could recognize any members of the class of ' 24 in the crowd of Huntington rooters. Sure enough, sitting on the player ' s bench was Coach Bill Newell, the famous Olympic athlete. Beside I him was Principal Ruble, Richard Weybright, head of the manual arts de- I partment ; Lowell Williams, teacher of science ; and Otto Strock, the tru- I ant officer. I i I 1 t i Rev. Horace Cutshall, D.D., was seated with his wife, formerb ' Thelma ! Vale. Curtis Shock and Edward McNaliy, deacons in the church were be- side him. Robert Beck, accompanied by Ada Biickenstaff, his better half, and now the coach at Andrews H. S. was yelling at the team, telling them how they should play their positions. ! Miss Mary Helen Gierhart, the national president of the Sun.shine Society, accompanied by Georgia McConkey and Rowena Reetz who were . . her secretaries, occupide front seats. Then the game was ready to start, so X had to give up his search. A short, stocky athletic looking man walked out on the floor and pitched up the first ball at center. He was the famous Big Ten coach, Clum Bucher. Then the game was on. Two Harbors, Minnesota, was Huntington ' s op- ponent. But H. H. S. displaying the same old fighting spirit that the school was noted for, walked on them 34 to 20. ' I After the morning session games X phoned the results to his paper and then waited to see some member of the class of ' 24. The first old grad he saw, was Charles Herman Collett, who was even more portly than of yore. In the talk that followed Charlie admitted that he was a noted oil stock salesman, wanted in a dozen states. He didn ' t say what for, however. X took him to the famous Ritzy-Wolf club for lunch. The man- ager, Claude Gordon, ushered them to a table. X described a Keith vaudeville act he had seen in New York. Brice Ware, Dorothy Shock, Paul Morse, Mary Catherine Miller, Aldean Todd, Mary Elizabeth Pratt, Robert Wasmuth, and Annabelle Cain were giving a song and dance act. Dallas Class was their manager but was continually at strife with his wife, the former Martha Cotton, because she wanted to sing a solo as the final number. Dallas and the rest of the company were afraid that the audience would never recover from the shock. X then asked Charlie what members of their old class were in the professions. Charles looked blank, then said that Vecil Sparks and Laura Telfer were professional chefs on the Chicago-Omaha air express, that Clarence Roe had succeeded Rudolph Valentino as professional sheik of the movies. Horace Pastor was professional pool champion of the world, and i that Donald Lind was playing professional baseball in the Peanut League I and had succeeded at last in fanning out a batter. X told him that his idea of what constituted a profession was about as much as could be ex- pected — from him. Suddenly C. Herman glanced out of the window by which they were j seated and said. Look. look. See that limousine, that Rolls-Rough. See • the man inside in the top hat ? Well, that ' s Hon. William Frederick Yer- ' gens, Jr., now president of the Erie R. R. He ' s the one that made it pos- sible to have a crowd of rooters here. X looked closely, then asked, who are the people with him? The lady with him is Helen Slater, his wife. The two little men in front are Robert Brown and Arthur Mauger, they are secret senice men who serve as chauffeur and footman to the president, explained Charles. I i i ...-M O D IJ L IT S - i The distinguished looking man with the monocle is Lord Harry Mon- tague, the famous Canadian Steel magnate. His lady, formerly Ruth Shideler, is sitting beside Mrs. Yergens. Mr. Collett then pointed out a small Ford that followed close behind the Yergens ' limousine. He said that the driver was Russell Duane Rit- tgers and his wife Eunice Rowley. Russell, it seems, was now a pros- perous advertising solicitor. The next morning found X and Newell at the Press bench again. Newell had collected more information concerning the grads of ' 24. He told this to X while both were waiting for the start of the game be- tween Huntington and Simpson High of Birmingham, Alabama. Byron Richards with his wife, Ruth Mickley, now lived in California and was a director of the Sardine Trust. Louis Pitrucelle with his life- partner, Mildred Kiser, had cornered the banana market and was known in Wall Street as The Banana King. Gerald Young, and Olive Carroll, now Mrs. Bud Young, was a leading druggist in Huntington. He had built up his business by putting Mary Wirt in charge of the soda fountain. Norman Poinier and his companion in matrimony, better known in ' 24 as Peg Steele, had the controlling interest in Huntington ' s leading in- dustry, the Ice Cold Cream Company, the manufacturer of the world ' s best freckle remover. Myrtle Metcalf and Eileen Strauss had charge of the company ' s offices. Warkentien, Stults and Lahr were the country ' s leading firm of civil engineers. The members of the firm attributed their phenomenal suc- cess to the fact that they always went to Africa during Leap Year. Thomas Wheeler had been appointed consul-general to Iceland, and was now at his post of duty with his wife, Pauline Mahoney. Newell led X to believe that Senator Palmer ' s wife, formerly Dorothy Mullin, had had a lot to do with this appointment. By this time Huntington High had retired Simpson High to the list of has-beens, by a score of 31 to 14. At Six o ' clock Huntington would have to meet Walla Walla High, of Walla Walla, Washington. If H. H. S. won this game, the alumni could support their alma mater in the semi- finals. After the game X had the principal of Huntington High School come and sit beside him on the Press bench. The principal was now Merrill Ruble, a grad of ' 24, he told X of the destinies of other of their fellow grads. Erma Burton, was now president of some large east- em woman ' s college of international reputation. Her scholarly essays ' and poems had caused the world to sit up and take notice. X was not at all surprised at her position in the world. Anyone could have fore- told this from the way in which the literary contents of the 1924 Modulus were handled. Nellie Hammel was preceptress of Upland University and frequently toured the country in behalf of the Anti-Cigaret League. Velma Van Dine, popularly known throughout the country as the little brick yard . blond , now crowded the chatauqua auditoriums with her great lecture j i i Fi.ftl -t.iro on Debating and Oratorical Contests as the Remedy for Jaded Youth. Burdette Redding and Nondas Rudig were now man and wife. Both j were members of the Philadelphia Philarmonic Orchestra. John White- lock, now that he had won the heart of Velda Shroyer, was a prominent grocer. Gerald Saal and Irene Sands were prominent and popular mem- I bers of Warren society. Gerald still wore the hat that had made him ( famous as a high school senior. ( Allie Davis and Marion Vandine were collecting and editing an an- I thology of 4-1 and 4-II English answers as given by Mr. Byers. Harold Thoimpson and Marvel Shultz were touring the world. Their intent was to popularize the famous little ditty written by Genevieve Gas- kin, the great opera star. The title of this lyrical ballad was When My Shoes Wear Out I ' ll Be On My Feet Again. Berneice Lobdell was comet soloist with the Boston Symphony Or- chestra. Captain Harold Kindler of the ocean liner Oriole frequently stopped in Boston to hear Berneice play. According to the principal, the movies were well represented by the class of ' 24, for in addition to Clarence Roe, Geraldine Kronmiller, Mil- dred Hoover, and Olive Amiss were all performers on the silver sheet. Then, too, Henry Ewing and Parham Kelly had long been starring for the Famous-Players Corporation. They had featured in such super spec- tacles as Barney and Sparky, a Melodram of the Historic Derby Days and Horation on the Bridge , Parham being so popular as to be called the Hoosier Romeo . Helen Rittenhouse and Thelma Morgan were the wives of mission- aries to Nepal. Talmage Thompson and Maurice Smetzer were the mis- sionaries. Helen Hosier and Neil Crull were now Mr. and Mrs. Crull. ( Helen had continued her musical career, being now with the San Carlos ' Grand Opera Company. Neil sang in the chorus and played baseball with the Indianapolis Indians on the side. I Huntington High ' s basketeers had again taken the floor at six o ' clock ' and had whaled the Walla Walla Wallopers to the tune of 19 to 16. Yet it was the closest game of the tourney for Huntington so far. The Hoosi- ' ers would now meet Latter Day Saints High School of Salt Lake City in the semi-finals on the next afternoon. Parting from Mr. Ruble, the writer returned uptown. The ne.xt afternoon he found himself sitting beside Logan Lehman, the nationally known president of the Roofing Trades Association. Logan was as friendly and courteous as ever and was glad to help X in the latter ' s biographical research. Virgil Dinius and Beulah Class were happy together, Virgil being a skilled mechanic. Virginia Doudna with Ruby Weller as assistant was corresponding secretary of Aristos Society International. Eugene Barta- way and Beatrice Bayless had gone into partnership and were very suc- I cessful as scientific farmers. I Damon Vought ' s cafeteria now did a rushing business, due chiefly to (Continued on Page 127) Fifty-tkre — — , — modi; ■% ' FINIMUS SED INCIPERE By Adena Aldridge We have come to a bend in the road of our lives, And we pause where the pathway turns out, And we stop as we think of our long happy past. And we sigh as we now look about. For a half of a score of long years we have trod The hard path that has led to the school; We have thought that our tasks were so hard we would fail Now we see they were only a tool. Just a tool for our use as we climb life ' s long road : Our success on our knowledge depends, So the more we can get, that much more we can give, And our gifts to the world prove our ends. For we get out of life just as much as we give, No more and no less is allowed; We must think of our giving and not of our gift, It ' s to this that the world long has bowed. And so now, as we stand, all alone, at the bend. We all know that you gave us the best. Though it seemed we would sink, yet we knew we would not, At the end we were sure there was rest. We all know that through life, We finish but to begin, And if both are done best, never fear. Now may we prove true to the lesson you taught, H. H. S., Red and Black, school so dear. ►— -. i U li L 1.

The boys can- I not be surpassed as athletes, for they have unlimited pep in basket ball, i However, they do not greatly overshadow the girls who, besides playing j basket ball and winning the inter-class tourney, are both good looking and I brilliant. The Juniors started their class organization early in the year and on November 22, 1923, the following officers were elected: president, James Weber ; vice-president, Rudolph Nauss ; secretary, Ruth Fulton ; treasurer, Dorothy Sellers ; and faculty advisor. Miss Ewing. I Some of our best members have held enviable positions on the Debat- i ing team, in the Aristos Society, and in the Honor Society. Others have been leading figures in the Sunshine Society and have given much time to the I welfare of the school. We have reasons to be proud of such Juniors, and we j look forward to next year when they shall fill places of great responsibility I as Seniors. ( As Freshmen we went through the usual preliminary stages of de- velopment and our chief ambition was to keep out of the way of the Seniors successfully. Memory reminds us that we even tried to avoid passing them j in the halls. As Sophomores, we endeavored to gain some degree of self- j confidence and to catch a vision of what high opportunities really mean to i an ambitious student. As Juniors, we have tried to fulfill some of our cher- ished dreams. Our class advisor, Miss Ewing, has done much for the class. Under her supervision, the class activities and funds were started early in the fall, and by means of refreshment booths at the District Tournament and at basket ball games, the finances have made regular jumps in our bank book. On December 14, a party was held in the club room. The next party was a Junior-Senior aff air at the Stults ' home on Mishler Road. Many good times I have been enjoyed at this home and we owe very much to those who have entertained us. The last and greatest of our achievements was the Junior-Senior Recep- tion, which had to be pretty and original for such an unusual class! Our motto was Something new and different. The decoration for our re- j ception was under the supervision of Strodel ' s art department. The affair j was held in the gymnasium on May 20, and was the biggest social affair of the year. Another thing which puts our class in the limelight is the fact that we have individual pictures in the Modulus. This makes us feel a tiny bit like Seniors. Next year we will be prepared to take up our duties as Seniors and add to the accomplishments of Huntington High School ; then when we graduate we hope to be remembered as a class with power to succeed. i Ruth Fulton.

UTOGRAPH TOGEr: —M D U L U S- COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN The Senior class play for this year, Come Out of the Kitchen, was presented with great success. It was produced under the direction ot Mrs. Knowlton Kelsey, assisted by a faculty committee consisting of Prin- cipal C. E. Byers, Miss Anne Koch, and Miss Emma Kline, and the follow- ing members of the Senior class: William Yergens, Mary Elizabeth Pratt, Dorothy Mullin, and Mark Smith. Come Out Of the Kitchen is a charming comedy of three acts, ad- apted by A. E. Thomas from a story of the same title by Alice Duer Miller. It is a most ingenious and entertaining play, holding the attention and in- terest of the audience from the time the curtain rises until it falls at the close of the last scene. As the story goes, the four young Dangerfields were hard pressed for money and a scheme was devised by the attractive and practical Miss Olivia to rent their great southern home for a few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Dangerfield had gone to Europe where Mr. Dangerfield was seeking to re- gain his health. The children were trying anxiously to make a go of affairs in their parents ' absence, and Olivia ' s plan seemed to be the most hopeful means whereby their difficulty could be solved. The stipulation of the lease called for four white servants and those were to be had only from another city. Bad luck seemed to surround them everywhere and the servants did not arrive — but the lessee did. Nothing could be done accord- ing to Miss Olivia, unless the four young people, themselves, should take the place of the four servants. After due persuasion and much argu- ment, they agreed upon the following plan : — Miss Olivia was to assume the role of the Irish cook; Elizabeth was finally convinced that she could act as chambermaid ; Paul took upon himself the duties of the butler, and Charles was obliged to assume the ofliice of chore-boy. Great were their ■7 -MODHLliS-- difficulties, but of course all ended happily. Word was received from Mr. Dangerfield to the effect that he had recovered sufficiently to return soon, together with their mother, and the lessee had meanwhile fallen in love with Olivia as she played the part of an Irish cook. It is needless to add that future happiness for them was assured. Pauline Mahoney displayed great cleverness as she assumed the role of one engaged in culinary duties. Her adaptability was revealed in y.ie fact that she spoke the marked brogue, characteristic of her part, with a great readiness, and it was these little things which determined her success as leading lady. Dorothy Shock, in playing as Elizabeth Uangei-field, acted with ease. She had a pleasing degree of stage presence and commanded the at- tention of the audience with her ability to affect the manners character- istic of the character she strove to portray. Mary Jones carried away high honors with her acting in the role of Mrs. Faulkner, a haughty widowed mother who came south as a guest of Burton Crare. She was exceedingly dignified and overbearing in her attitude toward all as she plotted the successful marriage of her daugh- ter, much to the latter ' s unhappiness. Donni Zent, as Ck)ra Faulkner, the channing young daughter who ■was in love with the wrong man, according to the taste of her mother, played har part well. We were amused to see Martha Cotton playing the role of Olivia ' s black mammy. She bobbed into the story quite frequently, producing much laughter with the broad southern dialect and ap pearance of a typ- ical regro. The leading man was, to be sure, most skillful in assuming the dig- nity and air of high culture characteristic of Burton Crane, the northern M D I man who caused all the trouble by wanting to lease the southern home and employ northern servants. Throughout the play Charles Halsey con- tributed to the idealism of the dratna and retained a pleasing degree of poise in doing so. Congratulations, Charles. Arthur Palmer, acting as the rich attorney from the north who was disagreeable to the servants and always in the way, carried his part very consistently. He was able to portray his assumed disposition under every circumstance. The role of the butler and of Paul Dangerfield, the older brother who was forced into this household duty, was played by Norman Poinier, and caused much favorable comment. He made a very efficient butler and contributed greatly to the success of the play. Abundant humor was exemplified in the character of Charles Danger- field, the chore boy and useful man who was especially conspicuous be- cause of his ability to break dishes. Joe Hollis filled this place in the play well and attended to every feature of it with interest. Gassius Keller, alias Thomas LefFerts, the statistical poet and the wrong man , took upon himself the airs of a typical man of letters, whose mind is, for the most part, concentrated upon his work alone, as he holds himself somewhat aloof from the social indulgences of his friends. But Mr. Lefferts revealed another side of his nature — oh yes! He found great favor in the sight of Cora Faulkner but alas, how we sympathized with him when he was exposed to the attacks of Amanda, the negro mammy ! The fall of the curtain at the end found us in a mood of joy and con- tentment. The only disappointment which we experienced was that the characters had Come Out of the Kitchen too quickly for us who could have enjoyed the acting for two hours more without becoming tired. The charm of it all is a memory which will remain in our minds as a bright feature of our High School history. JIM RISER We had a hard time classifying Jim, he is so eternally mixed up in all the high school functions that it is exceedingly difficult to separate him from any one of thera and call that his work. We finally decided to place him under the classification of Activities for in fact Jim is about one of the most active men in high school. He is a friend of every- one, and everyone manages to keep him busy. i U L) L L LI ii -—...-.- ORCHESTRA The High School Orchestra has attained a high standard during the past year under the leadership of Mr. McCabe Day, whose efforts in- creased the orchestra in number as well as in ability. It has furnished entertainment on many occasions, proving a great help in the high school plays which were given during the year. Mem- bers of the orchestra have always been ready and willing to do their bit to boost the school. 1st.

The Operetta was given under the careful supervision of Mrs. Branyan, instructor of the music classes of the High School, assisted by Mr. Day (director of the Oi ' chestra), and Miss Erma Mae Hern (Aesthetic Interpreter) . The cast was chosen entirely from the chorus classes ; the Orchestra, consisting for the most part of the members of the regular High School Symphony, also played a big part by furnishing all the musical accompani- ment. The Operetta, as a whole, was very clever and possessed a rather unusual plot. As the story goes, His Majesty, the Mild Mannered Monarch, has ar- ranged for the marriage of his beautiful daughter, Bui Bui, to the noble Prince Caspian. While waiting for the Prince to arrive, the Princess ' heart is won by a handsome Perfume Peddler, and a dark future seems in- evitable. In the meantime the King, in his excitement during the prep- arations for Bui Bui ' s marriage to the Prince, makes the bold promise that any lady of the court might ask any man to marry her and he would have to say Yes. When the Prince fails to show up and the Princess is missing, many a tense moment is passed. Then, when all is mystery, the Princess, as a lady of the court, seeks the fulfillment of her father ' s promise and asks the man she loves to marry her. The wily Court Chaperon follows suit and coquettishly gains the fussy little King, despite his continuous utterance of Mush ! a .scene which leaves a good, humorous taste in the mouths of the onlookers. ♦  ■— .U U U L 1. L 3— ■ All turns out well, for the peddler is the Prince, who disguised him- self so as to gain the sincere love of the Princess. In addition to the clever plot, the program was sprinkled with many beautiful solos and fine choruses. The principal characters took their parts especially well: Paul Morse, representing the fussy monarch, lamit, al- ways aroused a hearty laugh from the audience by his excellent portrayal of a doting father, a lady killer, and a mild mannered monarch. Besides the humorous side of his disposition Paul could, in tense moments, com- mand the attention of the members of the audience so that one might hear numerous Oh ' s and Ah ' s, representing their appreciation. The part of Bui Bui, the beautiful daughter for whom such a dark future was first foreseen, was taken by Miss Helen Hosier. Her pretty solos, accompanied by soft music and dim lights, telling of her mournful fate, thrilled the audience. Miss Hosier also displayed splendid dramatic ability, acting as only a true Princess could, being reserved and lady-like at all times . Harold Thompson played opposite Miss Hosier and kept pace accord- ingly. His ability to act as a peddler and then quickly change to the role of a prince, was especially outstanding. He. too, thrilled the audience and it seemed that the younger generation of the fairer sex were immediate victims of his good looks. Fine work, Hon. Erma Burton, as Ida, the Court Chaperon, bi-ought many a laugh to the audience. She continually played towards the King and finally won him, though we will not stop now to describe the methods she used. Miss Burton had a very difficult part to play, but she succeeded in putting it across in fine shape. Her stately carriage appropriately fitted her duties as the Court Chaperon, which were seeing that no one stayed out late, flirted unduly, etc., and yet her flirtations with the King caused many to smile at her dual disposition.

The North-East Indiana Debating League was formed by several schools in this section, Huntington being one. Each of the two teams engaged in four debates on the subject, Resolved: that the United States should enter the League of Nations without reservations. Of these the affirmative won three and the negative broke even, gaining a good second position for the school in the league composed of five high schools. The negative team engaged in extra debate with Central Catholic High School, of Ft. Wayne, in which the sermonizing type of speaking seemed to convince the judges.

Since that time many high schools in the United States have created their own forms of honor systems, but it was not until 1919 that the first plans were laid for the present National Society. IVo years later, more definite steps were taken, which resulted in framing the National Con- stitution. All previous honor societies had been based on scholarship only, but after considerable discussion the originators of the National Society fixed upon Character, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service, as the fundamental virtues most useful to society, and therefore most worthy of encouragement. The Honor Society enables those who are not athletic ally inclined to receive recognition as scholars and leaders, while at the same time it sets a goal at which students in the future can aim. The local chapter was organized in May, 1922, when twenty-eight members were elected, and in May, 1923, eighteen more were added.

The local club was organized three years ago by J. A. Kramien and includes boys who are Juniors and Seniors in High School. The purpose of the club is the creation, maintenance, and extension of Christian character in the local High School and community. In other words, the Hi-Y Club stands for clean living, clean speech, clean sports, and clean scholarship. Mr. J. A. Kramien is the leader, and the club is sponsored by mem- bers of the High School faculty. The meetings are held every Thurs- day night, when after supper in the club rooms the members retire to the reading room for the usual business meeting. This is followed by a talk by some successful business or professional man. During the year there are several social features for the enjoyment of the members. One of these is the Mother and Son banquet, to which all the boys bring their mothers. There are talks by the fellows, and some of the mothers also give short addresses. These banquets are es- pecially enjoyed by the fellows. Another delightful occasion is the Father and Son banquet which is attended largely by the men and boys of Huntington. Short talks are given by some of the men, but the prin- cipal speaker is often an out-of-town guest. During the year the club also gives a banquet for the athletic teams in the High School. But the main feature of the year for most fellows is Ladies ' Night ' Night, when every fellow brings his girl. An excellent dinner is served at si.x thirty and afterwards short talks are enjoyed by all. After this banquet one more meeting is held for the election of officers — then the club adjourns until the opening of the school year. . — - M O D U L U S- ARISTOS SOCIETY Suggestive of the purpose of this Society is the artistic name by which it is known. Aristos, a name of Greek derivation, meaning per- fection, has been adopted, and Perfection through expression is the motto of this newly formed society. The purpose of this society is threefold: first, to promote; second, to apply; and third, to appreciate the varied interests of the Huntington High School . Any student of Huntington High School may become a member of this organization by complying with the conditions set forth in the By- Laws. At the beginning of the year, after Mr. McCabe Day had been chosen as faculty advisor, thirteen members signed the constitution, which had been submitted by the Constitutional Committee, and became known as the charter members of the Society. During the first semester the Soc iety was active under the following officers elected by the members :President, James Weber ; vice-president, Merrill Ruble ; secretary-treasurer, Paul Morse ; and Mr. McCabe Day, Critic. This semester the following people filled the respective offices: Paul Morse, president; Merrill Ruble, vice- president; Velma Van Dine, secretary-treasurer ;and Mr. McCabe Day, Critic. We are also proud to have Miss Moore and Miss Cage as honorary members of our Society, and we extend an invitation of membership to any of the faculty who are particularly interested in the work of the Society. The meetings of the Aristos are entei ' taining and instructive. Music, painting, and literature are the chief arts studied by the Society, and much diversion is gained through Parliamentary Law Practice. Dainty pins have been ordered for the Society and we trust the stu- rents of the Huntington High School will be honored in wearing these. All who desire to experience a thrilling initiation are coi-dially in- vited to join. Velma Van Dine. —MOD U L U S ■ SUNSHINE SOCIETY It has been said that a good cause never dies. The Sunshine Society is quite old and has sometimes been somewhat idle but it has never died since it was first organized. In the early part of the first term a meet- ing of the organization was called and the following officers were elected: Jane Barnhisel, president ; Alice Snider, vice-president ; Elizabeth Scud- der, secretary ; Ruby Weller, treasurer. The first work the girls accom- plished was the making and selling of over three hundred black and red pom-pons, which made a most artistic effect and stirred up some pep. The Society has rendered valuable service in conducting the Girls ' Bible Classes, and also in maintaining the Lost and Found department. A Kid Party , giving vent to the childish instinct which lies sup- pressed in the High School girls, was held on the night of April 4th. The girls were clad in the attire of the little folks and childish eats of lolly- pops, ice-cream cones, and animal crackers were relished by all. A basket ball tournament was played under the leadership of Mrs. McCrum as coach. The games, six in number, were heartily enjoyed by those who attended, at which the all powerful Junior First ' s won the honors of the tournament, being the victorious team. The Freshmen were initiated into our Society by wearing a beauti- ful green hair-bow or band on St. Patrick ' s Day. A Leap Year Banquet was given in the club room on April 24th. Tell me not, O ye forsaken, That the Sunshine clays are o ' er For, the little sparkling sunbeams We are needing more and more. They are bright! They are gleaming! And are scattered everywhere, But where they are the brightest Is inside the outside stair. Lose no chances, how ' er trifling, For they come not every day, When you see a place that ' s needy — Scatter Sunbeams all the way. , r -. ■ . ■ v. y y-f iijh f M O D U L r S-— .-.

STATE CONTEST Recognizing the value of competition to increase the interest in and to raise the standard of work done, a few years ago the commercial teachers of Indiana High Schools inaugurated a Shorthand and Type- writing contest to be held annually under the auspices of the Department of Commerce, Ball ' s Teacher ' s College, Muncie, Indiana. This contest was to consist of four events: novice, and amateur typewriting, and be- ginning and advanced shorthand. Medals were to be given to the three students scoring highest in each event and cups to the schools whose teams scored the highest. In 1923, this contest was so large (largest in the United States) it was deemed advisable to conduct district contests in future years, with the winners of each district going to the State, at Muncie. In addition to this change, penmanship was added to the other events. Fourteen districts were selected for the 1924 Contest. Huntington High school, placed in the Ft. Wayne District Contest held April 26, en- tered teams for four events: Novice and amateur typewi ' iting, ad- vanced shorthand and penmanship. S ' eventy-njnr ; ' ' TYPEWRITING In the typewriting department this year, old equipment was replaced by new, and several machines were added. We now have a total of twenty-seven machines, benefiting one hundred and thirty-five students. The greater value of touch typing in comparison with the old meth- od of sight typing has been fully recognized . In order to further the touch method, the school board this year installed keyboard shields which not only prevent sight typing, but aid and promote concentration upon copy material and rhythm of touch. For the first time, Huntington High School entered typing teams in the district contest. These teams were composed of the following con- testants : Novice class — Opal Shipley, Ruth Pauling, Irene Van Pelt, Paul Kunze, Pauline Mahoney and Hilda Class. Amateur class — Kathryn Juil- lerat, Helen Hosier, Nondas Huyette, Rowena Reetz, Eileen Strauss and Janet Jacobson. SHORTHAND The standard for the advanced dictation was set at ninety words per minute on literary matter and one hundred and five on straight business matter with three minutes of dictation for each and forty-five given for typewritten transcription. The elimination class tests resulted in the following being elected for the team : Helen Slater, Helen Hosier, Rowena Reetz, Edna Brown, Anna- belle Cain and Georgia McConkey. PENMANSHIP Beautiful penmanship, like elocution or music, is an accomplishment that naturally attracts all people of refinement. Taking the above quotation as an example, we see the need of this long lost art each day in the high school. Penmanship to most people means nothing, but once a student of it, any person realizes the necessity of making it a successful study. We often hear business men censure the handwriting of high school students. There is no excuse for poor writing, so this subject must be brought up to the standard of other subjects in the school curriculum. The first incentive is to make the pupil see the need of penmanship. Second is the pleasure derived from his own efforts, and third, practice makes perfect, For the hand oft ' proclaims the mind. The people representing the penmanship department in the contest were Emmet Cozad, Logan Lehman, Beulah Chalfant, Alice Jennings, Thelma Morgan and Edna Brown. Atlrl ttrs UTOGRAPH tP MODlLnS. COACHES CLARENCE B. 8TEMEN WENDALL H. KINSEY The achievements of our athletic teams in all the branches of sports have been due in a great part to the coaching of these two men. Mr. Ste- men left us in the first part of our second term and Mr. Kinsey assumed the responsibility of coach. He has carried on the work of Mr. Stemen admirably well and we are sincerely grateful to both of them for their earnest effort. YELL LEADERS ■M r ( i i FOOTBALL j by Cotton | For the second season within the last ten years Huntington High I School put a football team on the field. When the call for football was | posted, over thirty-five men responded. Among these were some who had ' played the year before. By the time the season was started, this squad had narrowed down to about twenty-five men. Owing to the limited number of candidates there were no cuts made. This was the first season for the Wabash Valley Football League and the season was very successful. The schedule was so arranged tha t each - team had one game with every other member of the league. Peru won the cup by a safe margin. This league will flourish next year according to all indications. J Considering that this was only our second year at football we did ! very well. Eight games in all were played, and out of these we won two I and lost six. The strongest teams in the state were among those on the  schedule and to the team goes the credit of doing as well as they did. | Logansport and Columbia City were the victims, while Huntington was 1 defeated by Peru. Decatur, Warsaw, Marion, South Side of Ft. Wayne and ! Central Catholic of Ft. Wayne. ! We were remarkably lucky in going through the season without a serious accident. Frost had two fingers broken in the South Side game, but beyond some knocks and bruises, the rest of the team escaped without a scratch. The Homecoming game with Marion was the largest attended game ! of the year. Most of the business houses in town were closed during the ' game, so that their employees might attend the game. Before the game there was a mammoth parade formed, in which the team and the High ' School band held a prominent place. Much enthusiasm was shown in spite of the fact that the game was slowed up considerably by the mud. A light sprinkling rain fell during part of the game and somewhat damp- ened the ardor of the rooters. If the fans would only support the team every game as they did the last game, football in Huntington High School would be raised considerably above the plane of High School athletics. Prospects for next season ' s team are very good. We lose several good men by graduation but there is a wealth of material with which to fill their places. Hutington placed several men on the Wabash Valley League team; these men were Bucher, Roe, W. Newell, and Frost. This is to be consid- ered a very well earned honor, on account of the amount of competition. The players who played the three full games and received letters are as follows: Hummer Stults Frost Beck Gaskin Bucher Herzog Newell, W. Zahm Smith, H. Murphy Harlow Batteiger Roe Dinius Montague Newell ' M D U L U 8. M O D L L U S 1923 BASKETBALL 1924 Dec. 1 — Here Warren — 17 Huntington 16 Yep ! Looks bad I ' ll admit, but it couldn ' t be helped. The team has had only a little practice and it seemed that they were not able to pull to- gether. We carried the lead to within a few minutes of the finish, then Warren dropped in a field goal and chalked up a one point lead. The gun cracked with Huntington in the hole one point. Just wait till the tourna- ment. Dec. 6— There North Manchester — 12 Huntington — 11 With a fifty per cent improvement we went over to North Manchester and brought home a second defeat. It seemed that our crew was unable to locate the hoop, and the score shows that the enemy either couldn ' t locate it or couldn ' t get near it. North Manchester says she expects to have another slice of bacon Dec. 28. Will she? No! Dec. 7 — Here Fort Wayne — 8 Huntington— 22 At last the long-waited for arrived. We simply walked all over coach Gilbert ' s boys. Fort Wayne made their points in the first half and it was lucky they did, for the last half they didn ' t even get a smell at the basket. We had Fort Wayne outclassed a mile although we didn ' t snow them un- der with scores. Dec. 14— There Lcgansport — 34 Huntington — 24 This week we journeyed down to Logansport and picked up a third defeat. Bucher, Pearman and Newell showed up fine, and these three men kept Logansport in the air. Newell was high point man in this .scrap, having fifteen points chalked up to his credit. Dec. 1.5— There South Bend — 5 Huntington — 10 Revenge is sweet, remember it was South Bend that put us out of the state last year. This game was a defensive game and neither side could get near the hoop, so Bill Newell showed South Bend that he had an eye for baskets and boosted the score to 10, allowing the opponents only 5 points. Dec. 21— There Marion — 20 Huntington — 26 Journeying over to our Marion neighbors we copped a 26-20 victory. We ' ll acknowledge you can beat us in football, but you ' ll have to kneel when it conies to basketball. Dec. 28— Here North Manchester — 18 Huntington — 21 Well, we beat our old rivals by a score of 21-18. The game was hot and rough, but just the same we handed them a defeat that ' ll knock them off their high horse until next season. Let ' s start the new year by trim- ming Marion. Yea! Huntington, let ' s go. Ei -MUDL L U S— ' « Jan. 4, 1924— Here Marion — 24 Huntington — 17 After a hard fight we were compelled to let Marion carry off the bacon. The first half ended 8-6 in our favor. Clum had the honor of being high point man of the evening, with 11 points chalked up to his credit. Good work, Clum. Jan. 11 — Here Sweetzer — 14 Huntington — 20 Leading from the first, we cleaned up Sweetzer in fine shape, win- ning 20-14. Near the last of the game, Sweetzer tried to slip up on us, but we showed our spunk, and they decided to stay behind. Jan. 12— There Elwood— 38 Huntington— 23 After tying the score a number of times, Elwood stepped around us and left us with the small end of a 38-23 score. The team displayed some excellent passing, but this was of little advantage as they were off on basket shooting. Jan. 18— There Anderson — 49 Huntington 27 We sure had a hot scrap with our old rivals, but we ' ll have to admit that they were more than we were able to handle. This is only our first battle with them this year so we have another chance Feb. 15. Let ' s win! Jan. 19 — Here Logansport — 34 Huntington — 12 Suffering from the effects of a hard game the night before, we went down to defeat under Logansport for a second time this season, with a score of 34-12. Jan 25 — Here Warsaw— 29 Huntington— 28 This game marks the hottest skirmish so far this season on our floor. It was just luck that Warsaw was in the lead when the gun cracked, for but a few seconds before Huntington was in the lead. Oh well, Warsaw hasn ' t anything to crow about. Remember Bluffton is coming over t get walloped tomorrow night. Jan. 26— Here Bluffton- 16 Huntington— 25 Our friends from Bluffton visited our city in search of a victory, but all they coud find was a 25 to 16 defeat which they were forced to take after a hot scrap. Bluffton says she will seek revenge next week. Feb. 1— There Bluffton— 22 Huntington— 30 This week we went over to Bluffton and tormented them with a 30 to 22 victory on our part. I believe we better quit picking on Bluffton for this season and let them try their luck at someone their size. -— - ! U U V L. V 3- i I Feb. 2— There Coach Stemen took our team down to Peru for the last battle under | his supervision. We succeeded in giving Peru a first class trimming, ! allowing them 15 points to our 25. We are all very grateful to Stemen for his good work and the e.xcellent basketball teams he has manufactured: from our material. Feb. 8— Here Jefferson — 35 Huntington — 18 After a week ' s training under our new coach, we bumped up against one of the best teams of the state and hit them quite a jolt. This game showed a great improvement in our team, but we ' ll admit that Jefferson was too much for us. Feb. 9— There t Fort Wayne C— 10 Huntington— 22 Coach Kinsey escorted our boys up to Fort Wayne and overpowered Central H. S. by a score of 22-10. That makes our tenth scalp this sea- son and we have only two more games. Come on team ; we want an even dozen ! All right Anderson, we ' re ready. Feb. 15— Here i Anderson — 30 Huntington — 34 I It was the same confident Anderson that came, saw, and took home f the short end of a 34 to 30 score. This was without doubt the best game j ever played in our gym, and it is the first time in seven years that we have I defeated Anderson. As the gun cracked the score stood 28 all. In the | five minutes overtime, we boosted the score to 34 and held Anderson. j Wonderful coach. Wonderful team. j Feb. 22 Here j Fort Wayne CC— 11 Huntington— 24 f Our Red and Blacks downed the Fort Wayne Catholics in the last scheduled game of the season by a score of 24-11. This game was slow and a very easy victory for us. The first half ended 7-2 in our favor. Fort Wayne made their points on fouls. Everybody out to see Hunting- tonton High take the sectional tourney! j i ( TOURNAMENT District Regional Huntington High School ' s basket ball team completed only a fairly successful season. Out of the twenty scheduled games during the season, j we won only eleven. Our competitors obtained 441 points to our 435, but j we are safe in saying that these figures would have been entirely different i if the team had played the same brand of ball in the beginning of the ■ season that they played in the latter part. We are willing to admit that our team did not play the style of ball that people of Huntington are ac- i customed to, but the people of Huntington will also have to admit that • our team displayed in the latter part of the season a brand of ball superior j to that of preceding years. j Huntington High school rode through the district tournament with- j i I r MODULUS— « K t i out encountering any very stiff teams, although a few times our opponents ( did pass us, only to drop behind again and suffer defeat. In the course j of the district tournament we scored 122 points to our opponents 68. The j finals were played Saturday night, March 1st, between Huntington and Andrews. This game was won with very little difiiculty and we allowed Andrews 18 points to our 35. On March 7, we journeyed to Fort Wayne, where we met Elkhart and downed them by a score of 35 to 15. The following night we encountered Fort Wayne South Side and here we were put out of the race by a score of 35 to 18. It is evident that South Side was accompanied by a streak of luck that night as they were deprived of their chance at the state title in their first game by Richmond. We now have some very excellent material in stock for next year ' s team in spite of the fact that six of our regulars graduate. We feel quite sure that next year we shall be able to win our way to the state tourna- ment. I I i BASEBALL EXTRA j The game opened with Molasses at the stick and Smallpox catching. ! Cigar was in the box with plenty of smoke. Horn played first base and ! Fiddle on second base. Backed by Corn in the field, they made it hot for the | umpire. Apple was rotten. Axe came to bat and chopped. Cigars let ! Brick walk and Sawdust filled the bases. Song made a hit and Twenty made a score. Every foot of the ground kicked and said Apple was rotten. , Balloon started to pitch and finally went up in the air. Then Cherry tried ' it but he was a wild one. When Spider caught a fly the crowd cheered. Old Ice kept cooling the game until Coal burnt him with a pitched ball, then you ought to have heard Ice Scream. Cabbage had a good head and kept quiet. Old Grass covered lots of ground on the field. Organ refused to play and Bread loafed around and put him out. In the fifth inning Wind began to blow about what he could do and Hammer began to knock ; then the trees began to leave. Knife was put out for cutting first base. There was lots of betting on the game and Eggs went broke, but Soap cleaned up. They all kicked when in the heat of the game Coal was put out and his future temporarily Coked but not until he had roasted Pork good and hard on his pigheadedness. Balloon went up in the air again when Pigs began to root. The score was 1 to when Apple told Fiddle to take the base. Oats was shocked, not having a grain of sense. Song made a hit and Trombone tried to slide but was put out. Meat was playing for a big stake, but was put out at the plate after having roasted the umpire. The score was 1 to and the game was over. -J . j D U L U S- HUNTINGTON RESERVES ' SEASON The Reserves closed a very successful season after having defeated most of the good teams of the county.

In this tournament each class enters a team of the best available players. The first game of this tourna- ment was played March 10, between the Sophomores and Juniors. The Sophomores walked away with the Juniors, leaving them the short end of a 12 to 4 score. The next scrap was between the Seniors and the Freshies, and the score seems to say that the Seniors are not much better educated in basket ball than the Freshies. The score at the end of the second half was 9 to 4 in favor of the Freshmen. In the second half the Seniors got the edge on the Freshies and eliminated them by a score of 21 to 17. The finals were played March 12 between the Seniors and the Sopho- mores. This game was tight, but nevertheless the Sophomores were crowned class champs by a score of 19 to 18. It is evident that many members of the Sophomore class team will be upholding the honor of Huntington High as members of next year ' s first and second teams. reshmen Sophomores Juniors Seniors Pitrucelle Smith Warkentine Wasmuth Herzog Butts Kindy Redding Miller Miller Goshorn Warkenstine Heaston Hummer Kriegbaum Crull Kindler Fordyce Grayston Keller Bonbiake Briggs Holley Yergens Frost Shideler Newell I — ' ■- ■ •MODULUS. — — — — - M IJ I) ; GIRLS ' PHYSICAL CULTURE CLASSES • Instructor, Miss Margaret Burnside First Hour Class ' The Winning Team: — June Piepenbrink, Captain; Edna Shearer, Pauline Conkle, NeUie Hammel, Berniece Cussin, Pauline Kennedy, Doris Burket, Opal Vandine, Marian Weaver.

WORK In the boys ' gym. work every effort is mnde to develop a coordina- tion of muscles, and a building up of physical endurance which is neces- sary to make healthy pupils and future citizens. No attempt is made to produce circus performers or superhuman strength, but some have devel- oped so rapidly on apparatus work that they have become adept at many circus stunts. A Gym exhibition was given on April 22, the proceeds of which are to be used to furnish and equip the gymnasium with apparatus and the furn- ishings which are necessary to carry on the work. The boys ' gym work has been a valuable asset in producing healthy boys who are mentally alert. Its pennanence as a course for physical de- velopment is assured. L-i UTOGRAPH I i SEPTEMBER f 1.

Time— 1888 Place — Isaac Newton ' s country home. (Sir Isaac and visitor seated on front lawn, talking.) Ike Newton — Yes, Sherlock, as I said before this country air sure puts a kick in a man. I ' m feeling like a three year old. Oh, by the way, what is doing on the turf here of late? Visitor — Oh — nothing of note. Things are comparatively quiet at present. I quite agree with you. dear Newton, on the exhilarating qualities of the atmosphere. I feel ripe for a walk. Do you feel inclined to step towards yonder clump of trees ? Ike Newton — Yes, indeed my dear Holmes, those trees are the pride of the country side. I imported four of the sweetest, ruddiest, mellowest apple trees imaginable from Java, and two dozen from Hot Springs. They are just come into bearing. It is indeed delightful to treat your palate to this delectable fruit. Here is an especially fine strain of Blond-Albemarle, a very rare species. Sherlock Holmes (for so he is) — How remarkable! Truly amazing how the twang of the country air gets into one ' s blood! Let us seat our- selves under this branching tree which casts so refreshing a shade on the verdant grasses, and enjoy our apples. (They sit under the tree.) Ike Newton — Now to resume our discussion as to the suicide of the species. I quite disagree with you on the point — Ugh Sllssss — Birr. (Overripe fruit falls with force on Mr. Newton ' s cranium. Newton fran- tically tries to clear his face and head of the concoction.) Holmes — Ah — here is a most remarkable circumstance — Hm-m — I must look into this matter. Now I revert to the starting point. All the facts hinge on the condition of the hyperbolation of — etc, etc. (Holmes calmly arises and walks off, head bent in thought, hands clasped behind him.) (At this critical scene Mrs. Newton, hearing her hubby ' s exclamations rushes to the scene.) Mrs. Newton — What on earth — Oh, you poor dear. Whatever has hap- pened to you ! Here — give me your handkerchief — now it ' s better ! What was the matter? Ike Newton — My dear madam, allow me to place your mind at rest. Noth- ing more noteworthy has taken place than the falling of an apple on my head as I was sitting there. Pray do not become alarmed, I as- sure you it is of no consequence whatever. (Exit Mrs. Newton.) Hm-m-m let me concentrate. First I will seek Mr. Holmes. I am sure he can help me solve this deplorable situation. (Starts in quest of S. H.) Mr. Holmes!— Oh, Mr. Hoi. — Oh there you are! I have in mind a rather complicated series of complicated and curious circum- stances from which I would like you to help me extract a solution. The question briefly is What made that apple fall straight down in- stead of missing me ? Why could it not have lit on the ground some distance hence? Now then — . Holmes — Just the subject I was considering. Pray do not interrupt me — the gravity of the situation is such that I am complete — eh — what the why, certainly the gravity of the situation. It ' s as clear as can be. Look you — Mr. Newton — we have discovered a new force called gravity — I doubt not we will become famous. Scene II Time— 1924 Place— H. H. S. Physics Lab. Mr. Kinsey — Now then dear children the law of gravitation has been ex- plained to you. I hope you all — question Mr. Crull? Mr. Crull — Who discovered gravity? Mr. Kinsey — It is an authentical fact that Sir Isaac Newton discovered it while sitting under an apple tree. An apple hit him on the head, and this set him to thinking.

She raised her eyes to meet his, but ; fearing to trust her voice she nodded for him to go on. They were afraid I ' d squeal on them — the consequences are — ' I ' m here in this deep, dark dungeon and, notice if you please, this com- forting ball and chain on my leg. Patty Jane quickly dropped to her knees and tried the keys until her lover was freed. At the same moment a clod of earth fell to the floor and a disheveled girl stumbled in. Upon seeing the other two she gave a little fright- , ened moan, then sank to the earth, unconscious. Don and Patty Jane knelt beside her and with their assistance the beautiful girl soon after- j wards opened her eyes. She resembled Patty Jane very much, except- j ing her eyes. They were as deep a blue as violets, now, filled with j tears like dew which night brings to flowers. The twilight of her life ; was giving way to darkness.

She had paid the price. ; After a moment Don helped Patty Jane to her feet and they followed the tunnel which led from the shanty, which had previously been con- cealed. At the end of the passageway they pushed aside some carefully arranged heaps of brush and were greatly relieved to find themselves upon the highway. They hailed a carriage and when it neared them were overjoyed. Patty Jane! and Don, my boy! cried Uncle Waldon joyously. I have search-parties hunting for you. See here? A party of police came in sight and made their way rapidly toward ' Mr. Waldon. They were relieved from their search, but Don gave them all of the details of the Purple Prowlers, so they hurried off on their new quest, and after the dead girl, Lillian Maxwell. The three characters reached home in safety. Uncle Waldon ac- cepted his niece ' s invitation to live at her mansion, where a year and a day later she became, in the presence of the minister, Mammy Lou, and Uncle dear, Mrs. Don Devoe. ■ M U 4. ■t I liuntin ton nstnvBS llniurrsttrj Teaches Shorthand, Typewriting, Office Training, Bookkeeping, Busi- ness Law, Salesmanship, Advertising, Secretarial and Civil Service Course, Business Organization and Administration, Commercial and In- dustrial, Geography, Business Correspondence, Thrift Training, Calcu- lating Course on Burroughs Calculator and Felt Tarrant Compto- metei ' , etc. JUST THE COURSE YOU NEED TO WIN SUCCESS.

Garth had acquired his skill while assisting at the district basket ball tournaments held at H. H. S. Mabelle Lahm had captured Mark Smith, and the two ran a large poultry farm just outside of Huntington. i Lillian Hardin had failed in her scach for a husband and had become a school teacher. Fred Zeigler teaches in the same school .so there is still a chance for both. Huston Smith was now a dentist, with Martha Hicks as office assist- ant. George Hollis still travelled a fast pace, being conductor of the War- ren transit line. Edith Gordon and Edith Ervin were the proprietors of the Huntington Dairy. Mrs. Robert Skinner, otherwise Clara Thorn, as- sisted them. Jeanette Sale was a big customer for their products, be- cause Harry Pearman, her weakly husband, required lots of nourishment to help him carry on his duties as the head of Huntington ' s largest sport- ing goods store. Louise Drummond and Beulah Chalfant owned a modiste shop and furnished Huntington County with the latest Parisian creations — made in Huntington and displayed to good advantage by Katherine Juillerat. | President Banister of the Merchant ' s National Bank always rested securely because Nondas Huyette was the cashier.

Then too, there was Mile. Mary Jones, one of the greatest living painters, her Venus at the Pump having been purchased by the Luxembourg Gallery. Joe Hollis with his vaudeville partner Janet Jacobson, was particularly happy. Donna Zent, now Mrs. Somebody-or-other, was with George Lawver and his wife, formerly Mary Pastor. George was an influential attorney in Detroit. Adena Aldridge the novelist, Pulitzer prize winner, also graced this assembly of beauty and brains. All in all, the class of 1924 appeared to have succeeded very well in after life. That night X enjoyed the most pleasurable hour in his life when he saw the athletes from his old school tear into the final game with the old fighting Huntington spirit . This won the game and the title of Na- tional Champions for Huntington High after twenty-five years of effort. For Huntington defeated Stivers by a score of 23 to 15. -MO It fcl Uulucky motorist (having killed the lady ' s puppy) — Madam, I will replace the animal. Lady: Sir, you flatter yourself. H.

At all times these two produced some foolishness, amusing the audience and gaining fame for themselves. These two will surely lose their calling if they do not choose to join the circus, or the like, as entertainers De Luxe. The spice of the entire play was furnished in a great measure by their acting. The role of Lilla and Alain were played by Josephine Neuer and Harry Montague, respectively. Acting as friends of the leading man and lady, they cast wide their fame by their excellent solos and duets. They de- serve congratulations. The entire cast consisted of about a hundred and twenty-five charac- ters, including the Maids of Honor, Peddlers, Court Attendants, and num- erous others, all of whom carried their parts well. The scenerj ' and cost- umes were beautiful, the like of which has never before been seen in a per- formance of this sort in the High School. They were very attractive and in accordance with the splendor of a foreign Court. The Operetta was a grand success, and when the curtain fell for the last time, another jewel had been added to the crown of H. H. S.

Should I try and talk him into submissiveness? I Velma Van Dine. Dear Miss Van Dine : Boys are very careful about girls having red hair. Perhaps a good talker j isn ' t always desired, especially when a full moon is out and the back porch j is close by. Generally the boy is the one who puts the girl into a state i of mind called submissiveness . But why not try some fellow at Peru? ' They tell me they are especially susceptible to good talkers.

What can we do with the car after this? Leave it at home or go riding? Cleon Bloom. Dear Miss Bloom : Your difficulty is not at all as bad as it seems. Have your lover trade his car for one with four wheel brakes, if this does not prove to be sufficient to prevent the straying tendencies of his car on the hill where you live, have him place his derby as a chuck under one of the rear wheels. Of course the derby might be slightly damaged but that would not be as ex- asperating as walking to the bottom of the hill after the car every night. But why go to these precautions, go out riding in the car if your lover has the money to buy gas, have him set the speedometer back to zero, and then let him see how far he can go with you before he gets back. Yours for success, ! The Obliging Editor. j Dear Editor: I am a senior boy and will graduate this year. I am deeply infatu- ated with a little Freshman girl. I would like to become better acquainted with her but due to my inexperience in these matters I do not know how ! to approach her. Should I try cave man tactics? Mark Smith. Dear Mark: Heavens no! These Freshmen are timid enough don ' t try any rough stuff with them. Purchase a pair of cat ' s-paw slippers, throw up a smoke screen and approach her unobserved, gently whisper in her ear your gentle amorous words of infatuation and she will be certain to turn you down, just as she should do. These Freshmen are not as green as we sometimes think, and trust her to know love from infatuation. Editor. ; Dear Editor: ' I am deeply in love with a nice little girl, but do not know how to get into her good graces. She is very good looking and has the cutest bobbed hair. Please tell me how to succeed in this problem. Austin Schell. Dear Austin: Don ' t try to get into her good graces, they ' ll prove to be worse than they look. As to her being good looking and having bobbed hair, why Austin that is a vague description, for all the girls I know are good look- ing and nearly all have bobbed hair. Perhaps you meant it to be vague, but Austin you know as Shakespeare says Riddling confession finds but riddling shrift and in order to help you out you must be frank with me.

You may all rest assured that none of them are doing any bursting, leustwhile, not while the barbers can yet shake a wicked wrist. To the merry tune of the snipping shears, various colored switches and trains trip their way merrily to the wig manufac- turies, and the resulting surplus of hair is so great that we will soon be sitting on settees, ottomans and expensive couches, stuffed with the beautiful bobbed tresses. The very thought of an Egyptian woman, living more than two thousand years ago, started the fad is exasperating in the extreme. The worst of the matter is, that this woman died two thousand years ago, leaving only her mummified tody to wreak vengeance upon, hence the reason that we men rail and tear our few remaining hairs out. That woman was King Tut ' s wife. The men of today feel a little darker cloud over th eir heads. What if the next resurrected Pharaoh ' s wife has no hair at all, for some unaccountable reason ? We already see every barber becoming a million- aire. Yesterday, as we v alked down the main thoroughfare of Hunting- ton, we saw wcmien with long beautiful tresses, women that Huntington could be proud of. Today as we stroll down our boulevards, we see sister with a King Tut bob, mother with a plain bob, grandma with a shingle, and great-grandma with a delightful combination of all three. And it makes them all look so young, that half of the young men of today are flirting with octogenarians. 1 Treating the more serious side of the matter, we find that this is true: that the older female sex are transforming themselves into a race of flapping flappers, and will soon become the objects of the ridicule of wom- en of foreign lands. America will be noted for its flappers and zippers ; moreover, scientists proclaim a race of bald-headed women, as a result of the craze. Stringent measures should be taken by the national and state governments, prohibiting any woman with bobbed hair from securing em- ployment anywhere, and if this does not prove an effective remedy, why not give the Ku Klux Klan a try at it? If this fad is not stopped, the American man will be forced to emigrate to Africa or the North Pole. Here ' s hoping the wig factories go out of business ! . Kenneth Keller. !

A. KINDLER H. J. KINDLER KINDLER BROS. SMART SHOES 4 1 9 N. Jefferson Street DONALD AND HIS Donald was one of those fellows who was just real handsome and al- ways looked just so. His clothing was the neatest and latest type and was pressed as slickly as it could be. He had the most bewitching black eyes and used them to the best advantage. His black wavy hair was sig- nificant of much recent combing. In fact, he was just a bashful, fun- loving easy-going boy. On one hand spai ' kled a diamond set in platinum, while on the other was his High School Senior ring. Donald ' s father had died when Donald was a very small boy but had left Mrs. Kenyon and her small son in very good financial circumstances. Mrs. Kenyon had many servants in her home but nevertheless she had many domestic affairs to attend to. Donald lived with his mother in their home of luxury in Lansing, Michigan. Mrs. Kenyon had always wished that Donald would get married and relieve her of her domestic affairs, so she, once being free, could go on that long-thought-of visit to see her aunt and uncle. Mrs. Kenyon had reared her son as a gentleman and had taught him to love and reverence all womankind. In his youth she had seen him playing with the little girls of the neighborhood and although each of them claimed him as her feller he never showed any prefer- ence. As Donald grew older he was timid and bashful. His mother gave dinner parties for him and he was one of our society dudes and an idol of the girl basket ball fans, but he never became fond of the fair sex. He was usually persuaded into company by his cousins, Mary and Pauline, and he would eccort them to the parties. Although the girls came home with their friends, Donald was never seen to bring any other girl home. For years Mrs. Kenyon had wished for a daughter-in-law and had he only known it, Donald was at that moment kneeling in front of Julia Creviston, the most prominent girl in the social set of Lansing. There was a pleading look in those eyes. He watched her face almost breath- lessly. Tears came to his eyes, he blushed, turned white, and blushed again. Miss Creviston rose and spoke carelessly, I guess I ' ll take them. He arose, picked up the galoshes and proceeded to wrap them up. Delsie Johnson. SO SAYETH CAESAR All Huntington High School is divided into four parts, one of which Seniors inhabit, another the Juniors, another the Sophomores, and they who in their language are called Freshmen, in ours, Freshies, inhabit the fourth part. All these differ from each other in language, customs, and laws. The Freshies are separated from the Sophomores by a summer vacation ; the Juniors from the Seniors by the rivers of Knowledge. Of all the.se the Seniors are the most respected, because they are the nearest to the culture and civilization of the world. (All this we learn from the first chapter of Caesar. Look it up.) ■ MODULUS— « — SHOES Smart Styles for Peppy people YOUNG ' S Quality Shoe Store Op Stairs Huntington, Ind. ,.4. I Doctor HAYDEN B.

I said as I just escaped being stepped on by Jim, the man with the brush. And he went on, not even noticing a person of such im- portance as myself. So I hurried on and stopped to look in room 101. There I saw Miss Etter asking some timid Freshie to decline bite , and he asked What person ? When she saw me she uttered a faint shriek of agony. This outburst made me nervous, so I scampered on to Mrs. Poinier ' s room and I heard her ask Margaret Bee — somebody if she had contracted the splinter from scratching her head. I thought it such a funny joke that I laughed right out loud, and then the teacher knitted her brows, like the black-eyed lady does in a book called A Tail of Too Towns . When she heard me she started with a dash for the door. Believe me I sure needed a rest after we had revised the Marathon Race over the school, and around the Washington Square on the second floor. I looked across the hall and thought I saw a little, short, fat man making love to — (I ' d hate to tell you, but I think it was the marble-faced Mercury). Please keep this a secret. Just then a bell rang and lots of bright faces crept from the barred doors, as if they were glad to escape their grimy fate. Then Clarence Roe and Martha Hollow-bird were talking about sitting in the dark, and he said that he always wanted to sit in the bright lights, because you never can tell what you are liable to sit beside in the dark. Just then an- other bell rang, and I saw John Somebody and Lethis Motes trying to get into the same door at the same time. — Pity the people who didn ' t have ear-mittens, for it sounded like a one-piece band, accompanied by several squeeky saxophones, all doing their best at playing Snakes ' Hips with lots of oil in the wrong place. Everything being quite quiet, I walked up past Mr. Day ' s room and here I paused to hear a little family debate on dieting. I heard Kate Stults say that she had the same supper that her father had. I walked over to Miss Ewing ' s room and she put a lot of funny or rather crazy curves and dots on the blackboard, and she said that it was a question in shorthand. Then she asked Marion Ryan to read and answer the puzzle. He . said that she was the only one that could answer such a personal ques- tion concerning the reported engagement of herself and the new coach. I heard Mr. Suter say that the reason Velma Van Dine had red hair was because when she was little she had an attack of scarlet fever and it set- tled in her head. In another room sat Mr. Kinsey, trying to make a nut and screw magnet to put on the goal to draw the basket ball up through the net. This invention was to be used to win a battle over Warren. Then Miss Cox told some news reporters for the Modulus of her thrilling and hair-raising experiences in Spain as a great fighter. I peeked in room 306 and saw the Modulus editors, and their prize crew all gazing in min-ors at themselves, looking for a perfectly new joke. I think it would be advisable for me to go back to my hole and let some- body el.se tell something on somebody else.

It f n !• T t s TRAGEDY OF TEACHERS ' NAMES A Sayler and Poinier of Frantz by the name of Kinsey set Sayle for Huntington, where he decided to make his home. Here he threw a kiss at Annie Koch but when he failed to do it any Moore she grew so angry until she was Stemen, for one kiss didn ' t Suter. Annie sued him and when policeman Mahoney made the arrest it proved quite a Shock to Kinsey. Patrolman Mahoney placed the poor Mann in a Cage until the Day of his trial when he was put before Judge Byers in the court of St. Michael. Prosecutor Murray put the case before the jury members, Miss Hoffman, Miss Dunathan, Mrs. McCrum, Miss Ewing, Miss Altman, Miss Kline, Miss Burnside, Miss Gray, Mrs. Branyan, Miss Weiford, Miss Nagel and Mrs. Potts. The lady jury however decided for the male sex and their decision was because he had not Etter. Miss Clarke — I suppose you never thought seriously of marrying? Mr. Kinsey— Sure I did. So I didn ' t.

Miss Cage — It doesn ' t do any good to scold the janitor about our cold rooms. Miss Hoffman — Yes it does. I get all warmed up when I talk to him. Budd Scudder — Lizzie had a fright yesterday. She had a black spider run up her arm. Wib Shively — That ' s nothing; I had a sewing machine run up the seam of my trousers. o Mr. Michael — Mr. Mahoney arrived safely. I just received a cable- gram from him. Miss Clark — Did he have a rough voyage ? Mr. Michael — No ; his wife didn ' t go. Miss Cage — Are all flowers popular? Jimmy Ball — No ; wall flowers aren ' t. ,. . . . ..

Velma Van Dine entered the National Oratorical contest held in Muncie. Merrill Ruble won the silver loving cup in the County Discussion contest. This is the second consecutive time the cup has been won by Huntington, Velma Van Dine having won it last year, making it possible for the school to gain permanent possession of it if it is won next year. Merrill placed second in the District Contest at Wabash. The year can be counted very successful in forensics, and prospects are bright for a still better season next year.

I S RULES FOR CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE Students are expected to prepare at least one recitation a week. When called upon to i-ecite, talk very quietly — the fellows in the back seat want to sleep even though you do not. It is not considered good form to call upon the principal more than once a month, unless one is strongly advised to do so by another teacher. Pupils are not supposed to fill more than two vacant desks with waste paper at a time. In throwing paper wads and erasers across the room do not hit the wrong person first, hit him the next time. If a pupil wishes to talk to another it is r.dvisable to go to that per- son ' s desk when the period starts and remain until it is over so that the pupils may not be disturbed by the walking back and forth. o Ge ne Frost — You look cold. Shall I take off my coat and put it around you ? Jeanette — Oh no, don ' t take it off. 4. 6 Miss Cox — Your report should have been written so that the most ignorant could understand it. Armond G. — Which part is it that you don ' t understand? fa.fi WANTED™ YOU TO COME IN AND HEAR THE EM- erson Phonograph, with the famous Emerson Music Master Horn.
