The class of 1926 has complet- i ed her H. S. voyage and is now ready to set sail on the high seas of Life. ln order that her voy- age and the accomplishments thereof should not be forgotten the passengers appointed one to write a brief history. Other sea- men setting sail perchance may benefit by reading an account of our trials, and experiences and achievements. In the fall of 1922 our crew em- barked in the new modern Jeff- ersonianfl VVe waited patient- ly. All were very anxious to start for none of us had ever traveled this course before. Fin- ally when the time of starting approached our anxiety suddenly disappeared. The great fear of things which might happen to us i on our voyage loomed before us. l Nevertheless we encouraged one another and started. ' ' Our first trial came on a beautiful autumn day. As was to be expected of new sailors. we were watching the larger ships ahead of us. YX'e were enjoying ourselves immensely when all of a sudden we were caught by a current and whirled round and round. XVhcn we regained consciousness we had drifted ashore. Alas! How frightened we weref XYhat would our Cap- tain say? Miss Horton, our ever faithful advisor, said, XYe have drifted ashore to a small island called Greenland and have lodged in a small inlet called Lat-Inn. She warned us to follow our guide book mare closely and to watch for the currents. Our lack of efficiency caused us many hardships along the way. Mr. Fisher was our guide through the English Channel, Mr. Bledsae helped us past the large Algebra Rocks. Miss Horton was also of great aid to the girls in cooking and sewing. At the end of our first year's voyage a greater test than ever was put before us. XVe were each put in a boat by ourself and required to row past the Algebra Rocks, to overcome the currents around Lat-Inn, to struggle through the English Channel and to do our own cooking on the way. In the second year of our voyage we had for our captains Mr. liann. Mr. Fisher, Mr. Black and Miss Horton. This year's trip was somewhat danger- ous and difficult to take because we were exploring and going over deeper Water, through most dangerous places. However the majority of the crew withstood the trip and were ready to set sail on our third trip the next year. The total number of passengers the third year was 28. This year there were several new passengers who made our voyage worthy of honorable mention. A few of them proved to be expert sailors and avoided drifting in- to Lat-Inn. Probably their record will make the voyage of the class of 1926 remembered through the ages. Several of the passengers became sea sick as we continued our voyage and were forced to board another ship and return home. As more of our passengers became sick, investigation was made. It was found that Mr. Black was going over the rough places' and through the currents around Algebra and Geometry Rocks at such a tremendous speed that it fairly made the passengers sea sick. Mr. Fisher ever kept us in touch with the history of our forefathers lest we should forget and not be as good as they. Mr. Hann was our Captain along the English Channel. XVe ran out of food supplies. All we had was English Nuts which Mr. Hann gave us to crack. These were very hard shelled and we had a narrow escape of dying from starvation. Thus our third year voyage ended. Those who had survived from the third year voyage were eligible to go on the final expedition. Mr. Hann is again our Captain, Mr. Fisher is still with us, Miss Hartley, Miss Roberts and Mr. Tillet are our new captains. Miss Hartley has taught us to draw beautiful pictures as we sailed along. Miss Roberts taught us the music the waves of the sea were singing to us. Mr. Tillett explained to us the theory and science of wave length and the dif- ferent phenomena that we did not understand. Some of our passengers this year are worthy of mention. Three of them were permitted to sail around the great currents of Rock Virgil. They were very capable of handling their own ship and they seemed to enjoy their trips very much. This is but a brief account of our voyage, but we hope it will serve as a keep sake to the passengers in years to come. Now as our four year voyage is ccmpleted we wish to thank our faithful teachers for their perserverance with us. May they have their reward for it. Our hopes are that we may make use of their teaching so that their time and efforts will not have been given in vain. Yes, we have fallen short of some desirable goals, but nevertheless we review the achievements of the past four years with a feeling of satisfaction. All too soon high school days are over and we leave the halls with fond memories and sighs of regret, When the school's last lesson is mastered And the classes are tested and triedg When the stupidest student lxas vanished, And the dullest has stepped aside. We shall rest-and faith, we all need it! We shall rest for a moment or two, Till the wonderful School of Experience Shall set us to work anew. -Frances Black. Swninr Ollama will Ladies and Gentlemen, Teachers and Friends- . Upon the behalf of my client, the Class of 1926, of 'Jefferson Township high school, of the city of Mexico, County of Miami, State of Indiana, I have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cut so rapidly loose from life and finding so much to attend to before the end should come uponher and real- izing at the same time that she had no longer any time left to spend in culti- vation of her own virtues, she deemed it best to distribute them with her own hands to those friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. But we hope that they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away, because we could not use them, but as valuable assets to those who receive them, and reminders of the generosity of our free and full bestowal. Item I-We, the Seniors of 1926 will to the Jefferson Township public school our loyal school spirit, ready response, and hearty co-operation in all things. Item II-VVe give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. Item III-VVe give and bequeath to the Junior class our seats in the as- sembly and class rooms and we hope they will endeavor to fill them as faith- fully and promptly as we have done. Item IV-XVe give and bequeath to the Sophmore class any stubs of pencils, erasers, or scraps of paper that we may have left behind us. May they feel free to use them, and feel, perhaps that they may, in some mystic way, import scme of our great knowledge to them. ITEM V-Wie give and bequeath to the Freshmen class any overlooked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to the undersides of desks, banisters, assembly seats, or any likely or unlikely places. VVe have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste to be able to pick and choose the most desirable means of disposal. Item VI-The personal wills of the individual members of the class of '26: I, Herman Hood, do bequeath to Helen Fawley my troubles as class sec- retary. I, Ruth Stoffer, do bequeath to XVylton Kline, my musical gifts. Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast. I, Alvia Greer, do bequeath to Margaret Confer my ability for acquiring the blues. I, Herbert Kessler, do bequeath to Dorothy Donaldson, my never failing occupation of whispering and my noisy disposition. I, Ruth Miller, do bequeath to anybody who needs it, my bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush. I, Richard Hurst, do bequeath to Thelma Taggart my knowledge of Econonims, English, Virgil and Science. I trust that Thelma may be able to survive it. I, Frances Black, do bequeath to Alton Shaw my everlasting smile. I, Lester Snyder, do bequeath to Ruth Rader, my gift of demonstrating love. I, Ernest Schmidt, do bequeath to Thelma Stoffer the secret of my methods of playing basket ball. I, Helen Hurst, do bequeath to Roscoe Kraning my love affairs, providing he doesn't stay up later than three o'clock in the morning. I, Vern Ault, do bequeath to anybody that is in need of it, my sunny dis- position. I, VValter Rendel, do bequeath to Cora Pugh my gift of gab. I, Ruth Birk, do bequeath to Reynold Gerard my biology notebook. I, Robert Bowman, do bequeath to Magdalene Lane, the example of a, class member, who has proven to be able to keep quiet on all occasions. I, Cleo Worl, do bequeath to anybody that needs it my dignity. May they uphold it, forever endeavoring to realize its vast importance, in spite of their light mindedness and irresponsibility. I, Ross Griffith, do bequeath to Della Hiebert my historic gifts. I, Paul Montgomery, do bequeath to Ester Frick my executive ability, but not my beauty. I still feel that I have need for it. I, Caroline Newman, do bequeath to Tyman Miller my cartoonist gifts. I, Victor Fouts, do bequeath to Dorothy XN'eaver my ancestors. I feel that I do not need them anymore. Item VII-To individual members of the faculty: To Mr. Tillett, we leave the memory of a class that has always obeyed, especially in having our Arithmetic lessons. To Miss Hartley, we give the profound admiration and ever-endur- ing friendship of the class of 1926. To Mr. Fisher, we bequeath thirteen cents to purchase a little- black book in which to record the misdemeanors of the students in the coming year. To Miss Roberts, we bequeath the balance of our class treasury, to be used in buying a pair of rubber shoes for detective work. VVe feel she will be sure to need them in dealing with the classes that are to be our successors. To Mr. Hann who has been our faithful instructor throughout our high school course, we bequeath, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need he lie awake through the night to worry over the uncertainty whether this one or that one will have his English lesson in the morning class. VVe are sure that it has been a hard strain on him, for seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But he has done his duty, and indeed, now shall he have his well-earned reward. I -Ruth Birk. Seninr Gllami igrnphvrg INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 5, 1936-After tucking the children in bed, I returned to the living room and sank into my favorite chair, with a long sigh escaping my lips. As I was very tired I had resolved to retire early, but when I arose to put out the light I noticed the day's mail lying on the table still untouched. My attention was at once drawn to the Mexico Daily Outputf' which my mother had sent me. This paper Cwhich was dated April 30, 19365 at once brought back memories of those dear, by-gone High School days at Mexico. I wondered what had become of all those folks that I had known so well. So, forgetting my fatigue, I resumed my chair to indulge in the paper's contents. Why, can it be possible? Here's Francis Black's picture, She has really grown famous. It says that she has attracted much attention in Paris, as a fashion model at Madame DeFarge's style shop. Miss Black states that long, straight lines are the latest. More interesting news. Little did I think that Herbert Kessler would ever win fame as a poet, but here is a bit of his own composition, entitled, An Original Love Story. Let's see what it's about: He struggled to kiss her, she struggled the same, To prevent him so bad and undauntedg But as smitten by lightning he heard her exclaim, Avaunt Sir, and off he avaunted. But when he returned with a wild feverish smile, ' Showing' clearly that he was affronted, and threatening by main force to carry her off, She cried, Don't, and the poor fellow donted. Then he meekly approache ed and got down at her feet, Praying loud as before he had wanted, That she would forgive him and try to be sweet, and said, Can't you, and the poor girl recanted. Then softly he whispered, How could you do so? I certainly thought I was jiltedg But come thou with me, to the narson we'll go. Say, wilt thou my dear? And she wilted, Then gayly he took her to see their new home, and cabin by no means enchanted. See, here we can live with no longing to roam. He said, Sfian't we my dear? So they shanted. How very impressive, I remember how he was deeply in love with Thelma Stoffer while they were in schoolg I imagine this was inspired by her. IVould you believe it? The paper says that Herman Hood has at last secured a good position, namely, that of driving a sprinkling wagon on the streets of Venice. XYell, I certainly am glad to hear that he has such a worthy job. More surprises: Hereis an item telling that Ernest Schmidt and Vern Ault are running a hot-dog stand on the Sandwich Islands. XVhat do you know? Heres an ad that says: XYanted-A man who wish- es to settle down on a farm and who is a good housekeeper, and will be a kind father, one who has money to buy a license and can furnish a ring- would like to marry soon. Inform Miss Ruth Birk, Peru, Ind., R. R. 4. XVell, well, is Ruth driven to that? I suppose she has had a hard time of it since her brother committed suicide, her father drowned himself, and her mother has to wash for a living. I would almost be tempted to do so myself under the circurnstances. More startling news. Two young men scientists, namely, Professors Richard Hurst and Paul Montgomery have discovered a new substance in the region of the sun. It is thought that the substance will be named in their honor. At present it is called Hurst-Gomeryf' Iieres the best yet. It saysg Lester Snyder,a pronnnent young'farnr er of this vicnnty, has for the third thne entered into the IIoly I3onds of Matrimony. Well, well, I suppose Margaret Dock and Thelma Taggart proved to be too much for him. Iloxv astonishing, I can hardly beheve niy oxvn eyes, but yet the paper tells it in plain black and white. It reads: Mrs. Helen Rendel, formerly Miss Helen Hurst, of this city has applied for a divorce from her husband, VValter Rendel, with whom she was united in marriage on June 6, 1926. She alleges cruel and inhuman treatment, failure to provide and desertion. She further alleges that oftentimes in a fit of rage, he would come at her with a stick of stove wood, threatening to hit her. Mrs. Rendel is asking the cus- tody of their six children, and 310,000 alimony. I can scarcely reahze that NNQdter could have niade such a change, be- cause I remember how devoted they always seemed to each other, while they were still in school together, What do you know? Ross Griffith has gone out of the barber business, and is now out on the farm engaged in feeding razor-back hogs. How interesting, the circus is coming to town. It mentions the fattest woman in the world. Can it be? Yes it is, the same Ruth Stoffer that graduated n11926. It says that she has gained 4 pounds every day untH she now weighs 420 pounds. My, my, she could scarcely be recognized as the same girl. More good news. The paper says that Robert Bowman and Alvia Greer are much interested in the farm extension work, and that they are now locat- ed on a farm near the city, engaged in raising umbrellas. Iiomfvery unfortunate! 'Phe paper says that NHctor Fouts,fan1ousjig- dancer, is suffering from a sprained ankle as a result of his dancing the other night. Mr. Fouts was unable to tell exactly how it happened, but the spec- tators thought that he got up a little extra speed and as a result got his feet tangled,xvhich caused hinito faH violently to the Hoor. 'The audience xvas quite alarmed at the time, but was soon relieved from all suspense, when the physician said that the accident was nothing serious. It is thought that Mr. Fouts will be able to resume his dancing within a few days. This certainly is wonderful, all the seniors of 1926 are mentioned in the paper. It is better than gold to know what they are all doing. Can it be so late? The striking of the clock, caused me to realizeithe fact that I had sat up much later than I had intended. So with my mind fuH of1Heasant1nenunies,I redred to dreani once agaui of happy school days. -Ruth Miller Turnipseed.

VVe, the juniors of '26 often look back over our experience as Freshies and have concluded that we were as green as most students of this class, although we didn't think so then. Because of sad misfortune four of our members had to remain as Freshmen for another term. XVe left school thinking we had acquired about all knowledge possible. The next fall eighteen very studious pupils enrolled as Sophomores. XVe were glad to welcome six new members although they were not so glad to be with us for they should have been Juniors. XVe had many good times while Sophs. XVe had our Literary Societies and our famous classical club, taught by Miss Mace, a most interesting teacher. ' Finally we are Juniors, sixteen in number. lVe make pretty fair grades, especially in deportment, which could be better and so put us on the honor roll more often, but nevertheless we want to have our Good Times. It seems as though Seniors are always favorites among the teachers, but we Juniors are of the opinion that we are favorites with Mr. Tillett because we know he is proud of his brilliant Solid Geometry class, Nevertheless next year we look forward and hope eo be the dignified Seniorsf' -Thelma Taggart.

Snphnmnrv igiztnrg In September, 1924, twenty-eight, shy, intelligent boys and girls entered Jefferson Township High School. VVC slipped into the first empty seats that blocked our path and there settled down to business. Our class was made larger by four boys who were left behind by the Sophomores, but we, the Freshmen, very gladly welcomed them into our circle. Due to such a large number we were divided into two sections and we had great fun in trying to keep ahead of each other. After having a few months of our High School career over, some decided it was no use and with much weeping and wailing we bid them good-bye. VVhen we began to feel more at home we held class meetings and it was no unusual occurrence to see a notice of a Freshman class meeting written on the black board, but, nevertheless, amid all the sneers and remarks we went ahead and seemed to think we were doing remarkably well. XVe had with us in our Freshman year as instructors: Mr. Hann, Miss Becknell, Mr. Black, Mr. Fisher and Miss Mace. At the close of the term we were very sorry to leave some of our num- ber behind, but we decided it was no use to moan over that. Now we are Sophomores, and as we look over our Freshman year, we see the mistakes we made and most of us really think we did act like Fresh- ies as that is what the name implies, but no more shall the upper classmen laugh at us! Lottie Belle Spangler, Martha Fisher, Kathleen Morrison and Marie Lantz joined us in our Sophomore year and this made matters much better. VX'e very gladly welcomed three new faculty members, namelyg Mr. Til- lett, Miss Roberts and Miss Hartley, then we still had with us Mr. Hann and Mr. Fisher. XYe held class meetings right away and became organized. Though school seems a long and tedious grind to some we have had many interesting and enjoyable times, such as basket ball games, class parties and our Literary Society meetings. As Sophomores we seem to think ourselves brilliant, but it seems as though it is not the opinion we form of ourselves, but rather the opinion of other people that countsg for must of us consider ourselves very intelligent in Geometry and Latin classes, but a few of us have concluded that such is not the opinion of Mr. Tillett and Mr. llann. Now last but not least, we the Sophomores wish to extend to all our in- structors our heartiest thanks for the co-operation and friendship which has existed and we feel that the ties of friendship which have been formed be- tween teacher and student will long be rememberd. --Bernice Berkheiser, Secretary Junior Class.

Now we are engaged in a great struggle for mastery over Caesar and his forces, testing whether this subject or any other subject so conceived and so dedi- cated can get the better of us. VVe have now come together to dedicate a portion of our knowledge of Latin and a part of the assembly to the Fresh- men, the class we were in last year, and who now profit by our mistakes. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do such a thing. But in larger cents, we can not concentrate, we can not give them any more credit than they really deserve. The brave people who worked and struggled here trying to teach us something, have concentrated far above our poor minds to add and subtract, Cespecially Mr. Tillettj. The school will little note nor long remember what is said here, but it will never forget we have done here, It is for us, the living, to be given to the unfinished task which they so nobly worked to teach us. XVe hereby resolve-That this school under Professor Hann shall have a new birth of freedom, and that student government shall soon be in style for the coming year. -Ralph Brechbiel. i Uhr Snplinmnrr Spirit Upon a bright, clear morning. We heard the bell once more To call us to our class rooms, Where we had been before. From out the neighborhood pouring, Came sophomores by the score To greet a new year's battle, VVe had never fought before. What is our aim for this new year To win or lose the fight? No, all our mernbers, twenty-five, Now work with all their might. Work on, work on, my comrades dear The goal is just beyond And may that crown of victory, Be given to each one. At last my classmates, one and all, The victory is won And may the future battles, Be pleasant to each one.

Zllrvahmvn Gllaaz In September nineteen hundred twenty-five, fourteen bashful, shy, stud- ents slipped through the assembly door and grabbed the first seats they could get. These students had just finished their elementary school education and were seeking the knowledge found in a high school course. This small group formed the Freshman class, the class of '29. At First the Freshies were somewhat ill at ease but gradually they be- came accustomed to their new surroundings and they settled down to Work. They organized their class and elected officers and then they were ready for business. The class struggled with its Latin and other studies but finally it came out on top. The same fighting spirit prevailed on the gym floor, where the Fresh- men sent three basketball players. These fellows showed that they knew the game even if they were in their first year. XVhen they are Seniors they certainly will do a great deal toward bringing honor and glory to M. H. S. Y The girls of this class also entered into the activities of the school. There were ten girls frcm this group in the glee club which won in the county music contest and took second in the district. There were also several girls from this class on the basketball team. The class increased in size during the year until the number reached twenty. If it keeps on growing at this rate it certainly will be a large class four years from now. Let us hope that it does. And so go on, O Fresh- ies. You -may be a little green at present but you'll get over it and you'll be Seniors by and by. Qian Hun Zlmagiuv Ralph Brechbiel without a marcel.

As students enter this room, they soon realize that the work is more arduous and less time may be devoted to play, but it is very emphatic that they apply themselves more diligently to their tasks. During the year, great stress has been placed upon accuracy, rapidity and volume of work ac- complished. The teacher has endeavored to hold before the students the right atti- tude toward life. Due emphasis has been given to the activities of this de- partment as a means of enabling the student to become worthy of a mem- bership in any of the institutions of life. In reflecting upon the work done during the year, the students carry with them the pleasing memory of having worked at a task that is lasting and profitable.

Zlllnwmi One of the most beautiful things Nature has put in the world is flowers Flowers are different shapes and sizes But the most beautiful are those like stars. Flowers are of many different colors Some have a very odd name, But when you chance to see the rose, It's beauty remains the same. Some are small and some are large, It makes no difference with god. He'll tlnd the violet the same as the sunflower, Hid down amid the sod. To all the flowers where'r they be, God gives them sunshine and rain, By his care they grow and bloom, just as the golden grain. -Helen Musselman-Grade 6-Age 11. lllnhm Little Robin red breast Flew into our tree, lleard him singing, Oh l, how sweetly, He is singing all for me.

Because the school had heard of our coach's previous years of work in athletics, which was rather en- couraging, every one was anxious to know whether or not he could make a team. And so, on our first night's practice we had a very large crowd. The coach picked the five whom he said he thought were real men that didn't smoke and could play basketball. They were Otto Schmidt, Reynold Ger- ard, Vtfylton Kline, Roscoe Kraning and Ernest Schmidt. Of this group the last two played to the end of the season. VVe came back from a game with Deedsville with a defeat. Our oppon- ents won because we had not had enough practice in shooting. The next game was played in our own gym and our team had somewhat improved as we won by a lead of ten points. This game was with Butler Township, the place that our principal came from. XVe kept battling with our opponents in this way until we added Raber to the team. Wie still had Kraning and Schmidt brothers in the offense. Then Vern Ault was added to the number. He took the place of Otto who lost his position because he did not obey Coach Tillet's orders. Otto had a very nice way of getting into a corner and shooting but this was not liked by the coach so he told him to stop. He had done this too much however and he couldn't quit. Finally the time for the tournament came and the cry, Tournament or bust, arose. The coach assisted by our student manager, Victor Fouts had taken us to but four games which lost but when we went to the tourna- ment we busted Although we did not go very far in either of the two tournaments never- theless the team played very well in all the games. At the close of the sea- son Mexico had won eleven games and lost nine and so as a whole it was a success. mhnfn who nn the Eazkrthall Grant ERNEST SCHMIDT-Captain-afluard.

The spectators at the games were better pleased with the playing of this team than with that of the First team. Although the second team lost half of the games that they played, their total score was far more than their opponents. All the games were played hard to the last minute. Donaldson starred at back-guard and also made eight points during the season. Carpenter, the center, was noted for getting the tip off and on one occasion intentionally made a basket for the opposing time. This happened at Butler and since that game Thomas has been called Butler. Raymond Snyder and Ralph Brechbiel also fought in many games for the glory of Mexico High School. Another player who used his head more than any other on the second team is Daniel Shriver. Lester Snyder and Ross Griffith are two seniors that have helped wherever they were needed on the teams. Both have play- ed good gams in this, their last year at T. H. S. Herman Hood and Robert Martindale joined the squad during the second semester. Herman was a librarian during the first half of the year and didn't have the time to spare for practice. VVhen he lost his position however, he helped the first team as a substitute in the tournament. CEirl'a Gram Since the Girls, team was outruled by Mr. Tillett and the boys, it didn't have much time for practice and so Mr. Hann did not schedule many games for it. The teams that Mexico played were Chili and Macy. Chili defeated us in two games but we won over Macy. The team was much weaker this year because it had lost two very good guards, Mildred Hendricks and Ruth Stoffer, and a splendid forward. Mrs. Mary Greer Hopper. VVe still had left our former jumping center, Thelma Stonfer, our running center, Cora Pugh, and the two forwards, Ruth Miller and Margaret Confer. Some new players who were added to the team are Kathryn Cress, Blanche Hoover, and Margaret Dock. Helen Hurst also played in the Macy game.

To begin with Vern Ault was found to be the successful man for catcher. The pitcher however was rather hard to select. For when we were on the field we had all sorts of pitchers, and when you would see them practicing it would look like a professional league. Grandu- ally however they dropped out until we had only two left, namely Robert Bowman and Captain Schmidt. And so when we came to our First game we started with Bowman who pitched for some time. He was followed by the captain who kept the posi- tion the rest of the season. This was his first year of pitching and the team won two of the three games. The line up and various members of the team were selected by the captain. They were as follows: R. Kraning, lst baseg E. Raber, Znd baseg R. Bowman, short stopg R. Gerard, 3rd baseg R. Martin- dale, left fieldg O. Schmidt, center field and W'ylton Kline, right field. Ray- mond Snyder and Ralph Brechbiel also played. The first game of the season was with Deedsville. Leedy and Lock- wood pitched for our opponents and Schmidt and Bowman for Mexico. During the First part of the game it looked as though Mexico would be de- give up until the last minute. The score was 7-17. The following week we went to Deedsville and played a very good game. VVe were defeated by a score of 7-8, but nevertheless the team showed a good fighting spirit, and the pitching on both sides was fine. Our next game was at Chili. VVe defeated Chili High School in a com- paratively easy game. The team by this time was better organized and had had more practice. Chili however showed their Fighting spirit and did not give up until the last minute. The score was 7-7.

Eziterarg Snrivtim The Jefferson and Hesperian Literary Societies, which were organized in 1924, have tended to arouse a greater enthusiasm in school activities, and to create a better school spirit. Programs were given once every week, in turn, by the two organiza- tions. These programs proved to be beneficial as well as entertaining, be- cause many of the more timid pupils learned to act more at ease before an audience, and, by being put on a program, each pupil had a chance to display his or her talent. Again, this year, the two societies competed with each other in getting subscriptions for our annual. This stimulated a keener interest, and all worked with the intention that their society would win, and thus in turn be entertained by the other. The Jeffersonians succeeded in winning the contest, and as a result, were delightfully entertained at a party given by the Hesperians. VVith something like these organizations, to furnish occasional amuse- ments, we conclude that school work does not grow entirely irksome. --Ruth Miller.

In the local contests, Lottie Belle Spangler and Kathleen Mor- rison represented the Freshman class, Lowell' Montgomery and Kathryn Cress the Sophomores, and Paul Montgomery and Richard Hurst, the Vergil class. In a held of ten, in the Freshman group, Kathleen won fourth place and Lottie Belle, sixth place in the county. The Sophoniores fell before the competition of the Peru contestants, but the Seniors came through with Hy- ing colors, winning medals for first and second places in the county and in the district as well. lt fell to Paulis lot to represent the eleventh district at the state contest at Bloomington, April 9, The trip was made under dif- ficulties on account of Hooded conditions in XYhite River Valley, and it was impossible to reach the place of the contest until a few minutes before time to begin writing. To make matters worse, emphasis in the examination was placed on things not before stressed, and the ultimate result was a grade sev- eral points lower than he had made in the district contest. Even so he had an average standing among the thirteen contestants from the state, and we are sure our school was highly honored by representation in a state contest. ui., rffjzifffxxwffj XJ iff nf Y ij 5, fq If A Q' X.: ,X I D K!!

But to people who do not know me, and in the big family Bible, I'm Patricia Elizabeth Thornton. I'm the youngest in our family. -lack, my big brother, thinks I'm a big baby. But even if he does make fun of me sometimes, he's always very good to me. Nearly every time I manage to shake a dime out of my bank he'll take me to the picture show. But he's a dreadful tease, -lack is. He told me once, honest true, that there was a big bag of gold at the end of the rainbow, and that the one who could get there first could have it, so the next time there was a rainbow, I went after the gold. I ran and ran, ever so far, but I just could not get to the end of it. VVhen I got home again, Mother was looking every place for me. I told what I had gone after, and she said, Why, Patricia Thornton, who told you that? Jack did, I said, He told me honest true, and he wasn't teasin' either. Mother gave me a little shake. You should have known better than to believe such a thing. He certainly was teasing you, because he knows very well that there isn't a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I shall send him to bed immediately for telling you that. Remember, come to mother after this, to know if the stories are true. Now you can see just how far I could believe Jack. It's no wonder then, that I did not believe him one morning when he came tearing up to the play room, shouting at the top of his voice, Patsy! Hey Pats, where are yon? There is a great big box come for you! It's from Aunt Eleanor! Come down! ' I just looked up at Mr. Smarty Jack Thornton, as calm as you please, and said, April fool' I suppose. Tain't either April fcol,'l said Jack, It's the realest thing you ever saw, Aunt Eleanor sent it fer your birthday, only it has come a day too soon. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. You can come and see for yourself. At that, I got up very quickly and followed him down stairs. There, sure enough, in the hall was a big box. I thought at first it was as big as the piano. But when I measured, I found it wasn't nearly so big. just the same it was a very big box, and I almost cried when mother said it was not to be opened right away. You see, Aunt Eleanor had sent a letter to mother. In it she said that she was sending a box for my birthday, but if it arrived too soon, not to dare open it before the right time. I was glad and sorry, both at the same time. I was glad that the box had come, but sorry that it had ccme too soon, and we couldnft open it. It seemed as if I just could not wait. I almost knew there was something in it for my doll-house-.some furniture, a new doll cart or a doll. Oh, I'd give all the money in my bank, if this was only tomorrow, I said. Gee ! said Jack, If I were you, I'd get up in the night and open it. It would be easy enough, just those two knots and it would be done. Oh! but Jack, I couldn't', said I. No! said Billy, course you cou1dn't. You're a girl, you'd be afraid. I guess it will have to keep. The rest of the day I spent by the box, wondering what could be inside, and feeling the knots to see how tight they were tied. The afternoon slow- ly passedg supper time dragged by, hnally bed time came. VVhen I got in bed, I kept thinking more and more about what Jack had said. For this reason, I did not go to sleep for a long while, although I was pretty tired. just as I was about to go to sleep, I heard a little noise and opened my eyes to see jack standing at the foot of my bed. Patsy, he said in a loud whisper, are you awake? Yes, what do you want? Did Billy hear you? I asked. UNO! He sleeps like a log. Come on, let's open the box. Are you afraid? N-no I whispered but it's awful darkf, I've got my searchlight. Come on. I crawled out of my bed and we went down the back stairs. It seemed as if my heart was pounding in my mouth, I was so scared. XVhen we reach- ed the hall, I was surprised to see that the box was untied. I held the light while -lack took off the lid. Jack just like a clumsy boy, rattled the tissue paper till I thought mother would surely hear. Oh I've got something, I heard him say, and the next thing I knew he was holding up the most beau- tiful doll I ever saw. She had the sweetest golden curls, and the prettiest light green dress and bonnet. Oh! Jack, I said, isn't she darling? Don't put her back. For -Iack was already pushing her between the tissue paper again. No! he said You've seen enough. Don't tell mother. Come on we've got to go back to bed. I don't remember going upstairs and getting into bed. All I could think of was that sweet doll. I must have gone to sleep then, because the next I knew it was daylight, and mother was calling me to hurry down stairs. Of course, it was not lang until I had the doll in my arms, only instead of being dressed in green, she was dressed in blue. I thought perhaps I had seen wrong, and the lirst chance I got alone with Jack I said, Say, jack, didn't you think her dress was green last night P Jack stopped whistling, Didn't I think what? he said slowly. XVhy last night-Hwhen we opened the box I thought her dress was green. I never opened any box. You were dreaming. said -Iack. Jack Thornton! you did to. just stop teasing ine. Look here, said jack, f'I'm not teasing you. I don't know what you're talking about. XVhat would I want to open your box for? You must have been dreaming. I turned away. I couldn't have been dreaming. XYhy I walked down- stairs and held the light. Yet I didnlt know how I got back in bed again, But it was too real for a dream. Was I to believe jack! He didn't seem to know a thing about it. Yet he's such a tease! Wlas it a dream or was it actually real? I'm sure it was true. And then againtl wonder. Q Gaaka Today we kneel in humble prayer To Him who maketh peace, And ask when we Qpoor kidsj may dare To dream that tasks shall cease. We look to those in outer life, The students of past years, VVho work right on in endless strife For them ,we give three cheers. No howling trumpets lead their way Their flags are all unfurled, They march in endless canalcade To better this great world. On, on, strive on! My tireless friends Until your deeds are doneg For you the Work on earth soon ends, For us 'tis just begun. And we who kneel in humble prayer To Him who maketh peace, Should be ashamed to ask when we May dream that tasks shall cease. So now, dear friends and fellows all, Form ye a grand parade, Do mighty deeds lest ye shall fall Our debt is yet unpaid. Oh, pupils of the present day Do as our elders ask For they're the ones to lead the way That is their greatest task. If our small tasks should cease, dear friends Unhappy we should beg QFor on our tasks life's joy dependsj And we'd be far at sea. So as we kneel in humble prayer, To Him who maketh peace, We'll think of tasks so bright and fair And pray they shall not cease. --Kathleen Morrison MUSIQ W , K ff 4 H , YUM J W L 4 H g f -Lf KK R V ii!

What Women Say Who Shop at Senger's A foriner Peru lady who now resides in Indianapolis returned to Peru this spring to do her shopping and said: It is my belief that those families living in Peru and Miami county are being ben- efited and served in inany ways better than you get served in a larger city store. The Senger store brings in- to this vicinity all of the fa- cilities for shopping on a large scale and your prices are considerably lower on quality merchandise, that's why l coinc back to Buy. The Discernment of this Lady! Gives you the basic reasons which set one store apart from another and one city apart from another in service and value giving. These reasons should figure prominently in the store preferences of every careful purchaser. For after all a Dollar is a Dollar, and if you can get inore qual- ity for your dollar, and get it more conveniently in one store than another is it not sheer folly to follow any other than the line of least resistance in selecting your store. Come. to SENGIQRS and understand for yourself why we say we save you nioney. Blue Drug Store -:- and -:-I Chickasaw Pharmacy Peru, Ind. GLEN E.
