HOOSIER POET VALEDICTORY EDITH A. ITLACK With joyful anticipation we have always looked forward to the day when we could say that we have finished one step in the march of education toward an education. The name Commencement Day is. as it suggests to us. only a beginning of a real life: only an awakening to reality and duty. Again the curtain rises for another ACI in life's great drama and shows that one step at least toward an education has been completed. If Morse had been content with the post-boy system. he would not have invented the telegraph: if Edison had been content with gas and kerosene he would not have invented the electric light. lVlan's ambition is the cause of man's progress. True effort is always rewarded and when crowned will give the individual his rank in life. And may we who are for the first time stepping into life's arena realize that it is a place of larger opportunity and greater respon- sibility. If all these opportunities be improved. when the rose-tinted future shall have become the stern present. we shall not look with regret over the might-have-been past. Wliile it is always the chief goal in school life to graduate, it is. indeed. of little importance in comparison. with what should be the one great goal in human existence. where the problems of the school room are exchanged for problems of life. It is an honor to finish creditably our school work. but it will be a greater honor to finish well the more perplexing duties of life's great school. Upon our school life largely depends our after life, and no doubt we all wish that record bore witness of fewer hours trifled away. So the world goes on, ever looking backward with regrets and looking forward with fondest hopes. Our school life has always been one of pleasant- ness that will prove a source of joy and comfort whenever memory dwells upon the past. There was one figure who always will be remembered by us as one who was responsible for many of our joys. That person was our beloved Mr. Imel. We are deeply indebted to our parents for their sacrifices and to those teachers who have so willingly given their energy to infiuence our ideals and standards. and especially to Mr. Kropf who has given us a helping hand during our high school days. May we show our appreciation by living the kind of lives you want us to live! And now the time has come for us to leave. but may Riley High always know that her May Class of 1935 is striving to reach that goal for which she taught it to strive.-Farewell! 27

HOOSIER POET TENNIS The Tennis Club sponsored by Miss Murphy has practiced the fundamentals of tennis all winter in the Gym. The Tennis Team. made up of Bill Taylor, Bob Wilson. Robert Shrader. Leo Andrichik. and Paul Edson has played sev- eral warm-up matches this spring. The team will lose its first and second men by graduation. but they have a fair chance of having a great team next season. TRACK Eorty-seven candidates answered the call of Coaches I-Iafron and XVood for the Riley Track and Eield Team of l936. Six let- termen of last year remained to form the nucleus. Good. Emboden. Sweitzer, Pal- mer. Kossack and Tingley. The Cats worked out in the boiler room. taking exercises. until the outdoor weather was permissible. The Purple and Gold thinlies were en- tertained March Z3 with the Gary Invita- tional Indoor Meet at Notre Dame. An inter school color meet was staged March 30 in the Riley Bowl. Jerry Em- boden's team tallied up the most points while Wes Goods squad ran a close second. April 6. Coach I-lafron in the initial outdoor meet- with Knox. here. used his entire squad. The local lads with Em- boden and Tingley the main point getters. took the weak Knox team. Tingley set a new field record of five feet nine inches for the high jump. April lO the I-Iafron men tried their skill against the Maroons of Mishawaka. The Visitors swamped the Riley tracksters by taking all but two blue ribbons. Several records were threatened but none were broken. Riley was the host of a quadrangular cinder meet April l3. Teams who com- peted in the meet were Riley, Nappanee. Goshen, and Warsaw. April 17, Riley competed in a return meet with Misha- waka. The Poets went on their first trip. which was the Laporte cinder covered oval. April 20.

NSENIORS TRCUNCE VARSITYN The senior football eleven avoided a recision of their game contract by making an undergraduate squad dance to a lively tune. KNO Wagner. not Tiger Rag. l Everybody lexcept the varsityj seemed to enjoy the concert. Until now, we always thought a football team consisted of eleven men, but we found we were mistaken lAsk I-Ieinie.l Coach Norris's team made enormous gains via the air route. while the Woodsmen kept both their feet on the ground lwhenever they could.b Woods substituted several squads and sent the survivors to the showers. Norris kept his fourteen men in continuous rota- tion and did that which is the ambition of all coaches-converting tackles into quar- terbacks. None of the boys succumbed to the grind. for. after all. they are supposed to be football players. A few, though, had a hard time recovering their com- posure. Oh yes. we almost forgot to men- tion. the score was 6-O. Yes, girls, it was Harold I-Ioladay. E. B. Q5 J. B. The fog was dense when the old lady aske.l the captain why he didn't go on. A'Can't see up the river. Madam. But, Captain, she persisted. I can see the stars overlieadf' Yes, ma'am, said the captain. but until the boilers bust we ain't goin' that way.
