THE HOME JOURNAL CLASS ANNUAL ll THOME Joulullls QUARTER cr rum I ll Bi DR W T STOTI' J4- Jo .uf IIH the close of the calendar year llll the lournal had comple ed twenty flye years of its history and lt seems emme ntly httmg that there should be publle reeognltlon of the fact es peeullv since the paper has played so large and honorable a part lll the welfare of the llome lhe purpose for which lt ls published 1 h npplly stated ln its own language To fur nlsh work for the boys tand why not a de partme nt for girls as well'l who are learn mg the trade ln the Home Its edltorlal ob yeets are to furnish the news of the Instltu tlon to Its frlends and provide good reading rn xtte r for the chlldren of the Home But lt does more than this lt furnishes good readlng matter for anybody of good taste and att unments lnstltutlon Iournals are apt to be formal and dry but this cannot be said of the Home lournal and the points of its excellence may be stated as follows THI- MI-QHANIKAI MAKPUI N x:xx sss ' The pages are clean cut and as lnyltlng to the eye as the best book pages the press mklng and no dlm places frorr lack of lnk I read no paper with fewer mistakes ln punetuatlon and spellmg and the good taste shown ln the arrangement of head lmes and the general dlsposltlon of articles IQ quite manifest But the good work of the prmtmg department IQ not confined to the Journal some years the Annual Report of the Home has been gotten out by it and a not uncom mon remark was good as Burford The one crltlclsm that has sometimes been made IS that the paper of the Journal I9 too heayy for the wire stltehmg and so the lt aye s come apart as you are reading CHOIC If SPI I-Q TIONS I'he lournal has a large list of exchanges and from these are selected choice products from the best authors ln poetry history science travel and rellglous literature m gene ral In a yolume of the Journal one has a pre tty full selection of the best reading extent and the editor never forgetting that lt ns the lournal of Qoldlers and ballors Orphans puts ln accounts of famous battles on land and on sea and there ls hardly a prominent ofhcer of the clvll war but that has a blo graphical sketch more orless full And when lt comes to Antl dlsmals the Journal I9 at the front lts fun ls the funniest kmd of fun NOSI' I- OR Nl' WS The Journal keeps track of the boys and gurls of the Home long after they have gone out into the world and tells us where they are and what they are doing and frequently pre sents letters from them even when they are on the other side of the ocean as well as when they are In dlstant states of the Umon Not less alert is It to follow the former em ployes of the Home As to matters of local interest the Journal is full and accurate as 0 7' ' Avila ZTZTQQVJ' 'C Je V3.6 was once sand of a Metropolitan sheet you see lt in the Journal xt s so Nor does It descend ln its local news to anything that may be called unworthy gossip Mere gossip mongers must find some other avenue of expression than the Journal The dlffere nt organizations and occasions of the Home find a ready friend and helper ln lt the programs of Easter and Decoration Day and the varl ous literary and musical exercises and so on attest both the readiness and the excellent taste of the prmtmg department and its standlngllsts of officers and teachers and vlsltlng committees are a great convenience to those connected with the Institution as well as to strangers Of course there is no attempt to glve current pohtlcal news that IS left to the dally press THE TREE Ib KNOWN BY ITS FRUIT It IS falr to ask what has the prmtmg department to show as a product of nts work ings What kmd of men are sent out as graduates from the Industrial Department and have they approved themselves to busl ness men and business firms where they haye gone? and have they been capable of organxz but very correct answer ln a llst of about fifty of them who are located In various places lh the state and ln various states of the Umon and all of whom are making good And doubtless the number could easily' be trebled some of these are with newspapers some with book and Job houses some haye businesses of their own Of the llst which I have I find that fourteen are with firms ln Indianapolis That these men unlformly succeed IS the best kmd of evidence that they have had good training the candidates for the printing department have never been known to select that lndustry because it was what IS usually called a snap hard work and prompt work and ac urate work are the watch words ln the department of course sometimes a boy after he IS In concludes that he knows more than the instructor I myself helped the edltor once to spank such aboy and I feel sure that lf he should express his appretlatlon today of the matter he would thank the spankers He would agree with the msplred writer who said now no chas tlsement for the present seemeth yovous but gxevxous nevertheless afterwardslt worketh out the peaceable fruits of righteousness No greater commendatlon of the prmtmg department could be furnished than the um form appreciation and praise af these printers as they come back to the Home on a vlslt In short a Journal IS what its editor ls and those who know Mr Rounds could tell ln advancement what the publication would be and what the prmtmg department would be Glory enough to have conducted the Home Journal for a quarter of a century and our ardent hope IS that he may conduct It for many years to come The next notable event will be the close of the school term the 19th E HOI LOWAY M D Nl'W PIANO POR HOSPIIAI Due to a wlsh expressed by O E Holloway the Home and hearty In the way of liberal donations It was possl ble to put a hne new piano into the Hospital on Thursday the 28th ult Onlv a few days ago the doctor became convinced there was need of a plano ln the physlclan and the spontaneous response on the part of ex puplls he does was convinced lf the need became known to ex puplls they would be anxious to supplv such an instrument and following his lnclnnatlon he got out a form letter which he sent to a number of former boys and girls He knew there would be a hasty and liberal response from them but he is frank enough to say he was surprised and aggreably so by the unusually large number of affirmative answers and the amounts of the donations for there was hardly a failure to hls request and today there IS a fine brand new pl8H0 ln the Hospital which wlll be used to make more pleasant the hours of those who are forc ed by sickness and accldent to spend long hours therein It is a touching testlmonlal to the good and liberal hearts and sy mathles of ex pupils and the wise foresight and con fidence of Dr Hollow ay And Just a few words in trlbute to Dr Holloway who ls more than phvslcan to the Home children If he were considering only the dollars and cents connected with his work we belleye long ago he would haye re signed and given the ealls oyer to younger shoulders but he has grown to loye the labor from a professional and frle ndlv and sy mpa thetlc standpoint hence he has gone month after month and year after year caring for those he has grown to loye and who haye grown to loye hlm for his mlmstratlons that have kindly and sy mpathe tie touches as well as professional fe atures The spontaneous and liberal donatlons from the ex pupils attest ln a way his popu larltv The llst of tho e who will contribute to the fund tor the purchase of the piano IQ not yet complete but when lt ls the Journal will want to publlsh lt Miss Mary Baek Vyught of Greensburg was here Memorial Day ' l 1 ..

Gregory, Agent for Finding Homes for Children THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1914. A FEW PERSONALS. Miss Florence Mitchell, a graduate of the class of '11, and who is making her home in Indianapolis, was here the latter part of last week. All ex-pupils are kindly invited to make such donations as they feel able to the fund being raised to purchase the piano for the Hospital. Miss Lillian Creech, a former pupil who now makes her home in Indianapolis, was here the latter part cf last week visiting rela- tives and friends. Mrs. J. H. Rounds was here Thursday of last week substituting for Miss Laura C. McConnell, governess of Div. 3, who spent the day in Indianapolis shopping and visiting friends. . Paradoxical as it sounds and seems, the Class of '14 is also the class of 13. We do not look upon the number 13 as being unlucky, but rather, that there is good luck in odd numbers. The first of the Week Miss Bertha Langston received a letter from Miss Edna Whiteman, a former teacher here, who is now holding a like position in the Ohio's Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home, at Xenia. She sends regards to former friends, and speaks pleasantly of the days she spent here, and would like very much to visit us and renew old friendships, and frankly states that she would not be averse to substituting for any governess who might want to take a vacation during the summer months. Miss Whiteman will again teach in the schools of that Insti- tution during the coming school year. HOME JOURNAL-CLASS ANNUAL BLD- . ,,,-,.,,,,. Y, ,iv ,..-,v-. .. .,. .., . .t ,..

The procession then passed on tothe south entrance, where another halt was called, and the guests and others lined up in front of the big doorway. The gun squad approached and gave the manual of arms, and did the intri- cate work in a way to please all. The boys were greeted with a hearty round of ap- plause. Following this came another unique and touching scene. A tall youth, dressed up to represent the character that is as well-known and deeply loved by the American youth as is Santa Clausew Uncle Sam. The flag we all love so well was slowly run up to the top of the Hag-staff that has been placed in front of the main entrance, and while this was go- ing on, Louise Johnston, who had been placed on the top ofthe balcony, sweetly sang the Star Spangled Banner, with the crowd joining in on the chorus, and at the close the gun squad, from a nearby point, fired a salute. The line then again formed and slowly Wend- ed its way to the bandstand to the tune of an inspiring march, played by the Home band. The guests being assembled, one of the pret- tiest parts of the day's program followed. The band struck up a melody, one of the best parts of which we recognized as 'tHail, Hail! The Gang's All Here, and which we thought a very pleasant introduc- tion, as it marched to the east side of the school building, where it continued to play until all the pupils stood in lines. There was marching and marching until the figure desired was reached. The boys lined up on the outside of the walk surrounding the little park, which is in the shape of a .. .. Z.. ,.,,,... .. ...X ., ...L .. ,.,,,..4, Maltese Cross, with the girls lining each side of the four approaches to the stand. After this, at a given signal, the different sections of girls maneuvred until there was a living name, clear and bold and symetrical, and it spelled It-A-L-S-'I'-O-N! And at the conclusion of the formation of letters, throughout the spelling of the name, with the grand climax arriving with the N , there was a pretty sentiment expressed in chorus by those forming the different letters, and all ending with a Home yell and three cheers for Ralston! As the name was spelled out, the follow- ing yells were given: R is for Ralston, a governor of weight. A is a part of it, sure as fate. I. a very fair letter should be. S is the middle of ralston you see. T stands for temper, for Tongue and for ton. O quickly follows the 'l ' in the ton. N now declares the word Ralston is done. R--A--L-S-T- O N. Ready--. Ralston! Ralston! Wel- come here! Governor of the State! Give him a cheer. Hip! Hip! Hurrah! People were shouting and clapping their hands in approval and searching the dictionary for adverbs and adjectives to properly voice their scntimcnts and delights, and the band- stand was the center of one of the most active groups--if not quite the most active in voicing its approval and delight and apprecia- tion.
