He is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand He has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you, oh youl who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return, Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead - he is just away. Iames Wliitcomb Riley 'Civ H. M.

In one end of the large darkened room stood a tall white screen with an immense metal machine, bristling with levers and wheels on each side of it. Today after years of research and labor this Super Television set was to be tested. The room was silent as Lamar Higginbotham, Morton Holcomb, and Ralph Willy adjust- ed each part. For testing it, they had collected a list of their old classmates and were going to try to see and hear them, for the machine's super directional ray not only picked up pictures anywhere, but also conveyed the sound back. Through them I had re- ceived permission to be present along with some officials. Everything was ready- Morton held the list in his hand. Bob Glass, he whispered. Lamar threw a lever, Ralph directed the ray. Yes, there was Bob in overalls milking. Irene Parker stood in the doorway blushing when he squirted milk at a cat. The machine was a success-you could hear the cat meow and the milk spatter. Wallace Shultz, came Morton's whisper. There he was plowing. The horse loafed and Ralph shut off the sound mechanism as Wallace started to speak. CLadies in the audience! Ed Stoeckley. A classroom came into the picture. Edward was vigorously teach- ing Latin in front while Ierry Rupp slept in a back seat. Says Lamar, I guess he's been there six years. Catherine Bartlett came on next-behind bars- Yes, said Ralph, she poisoned her husband. A good home town scene followed. Charlotte Swartz scortching Ronnie's shirts. Another home town scene appeared, though not so peaceful. Down one side of the street was a row of shops-I could hardly believe my eyes at the names. Enid Haller- proprietor of the Elite Beauty Shoppe, Ruth Call-proprietor of the Frilly Beauty Shoppe, Pauline Wright-proprietor of the Premier Beauty Shoppe, Ieannette Harp-proprietor of the Perfect Beauty Shoppe, Virginia Steckley-proprietor of the Deluxe Beauty Shoppe, Ilo Swartz, proprietor of the Curly Beauty Shoppe, and Beatrice Blech-proprietor of the Blech Beauty Salon-and they were all, according to Mr. Dixon, economist extraordin- ary-running cut throat competition. The Blech Beauty Salon had additional troubles, too. Olive Hayden and Betty Kropp, heads of the Anti-Drink League, were its zealous persecutors because it looked like the Blech Beauty Saloon. The scene shifted to the hardware with which Howard Misselhorn supported his wife and seventeen kids. He was selling Norman Rottmiller a manure spreader. Next came the dancing team of the century. Norman Carter and Kathyln Eminger --happily married. We heard Kathlyn explain, It was love at first step! The next was a funny one. Ioe Deal ran across a field closely pursued by a bull- the funny part was in telling which was the bull. A war whoop rang out! Dale Seng dashed across the picture, stopped, and pulled out an arrowhead he had sat on. Ralph tumed a wheel and a droning sound came to our ears. A club room came into view. Virginia Crofoot, president of the Hear-em-tell-em Club, was just now tell- ing them. Ieanne Kurtz was impatiently waiting her turn. Virginia Getts, after telling a hot one, was looking smug and self-satisfied. Iohn Wagoner was next shown selling lingerie to Leona Bucher. For Betty Reith the scene opened upon a boarding house. Ethel Homett was in the kitchen over a stove. While we watched she flipped a panful of hash into the air. and collected it all on the return trip. Robert Lehner, their star boarder, licked his chops in anticipation. Pete Holbrook, says Ralph. Hes probably a coach or something. But vtfhcrt's Page 16 1' .- ', , , g 1, ., 5 f af- 'H -'ft ' L-iwii-Ii 'i .1 ali . l d Q, , dgr ' 1.- l Ea thisl Paul Holbrook, reform mayor of Kendallville, was on a platform at a large gath- ering, pinning a medal on Elmer Zollman, the best liked iceman in K-ville. Bill Brunson was next, decorated as being the laziest milkman in the city, and rec- ommended for advancement into other contests. Henry Saller, teacher of the local kin- dergarten, gave a speech celebrating the occasion. Margaret Miller, singing instructor of children between the ages of four and ten, entertained the group with nursery jingles, although a dog butted in at the end. Its owner tried to stop it, but the people said they didn't mind. This was truly a gala occasion. Next the ray found Bob Kropp. Bob was yelling, Come and see Irene Early, the greatest living tiger trainer. Along somewhat the same line was the following scene: Margaret Streich, standing on a soap box, haranguing a crowd with the cry of Mrs Huey Long for President. Not far away was Iohn Claussen on a Chipso box just as vigorously crying, Down with Democracy-let's be Republicans. After this David Runden, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, etc., was shown operating. Dave was now a famous surgeon with eighteen deaths to his credit. Stanley Minar was shown doing a six months' stretch for swiping the K-ville police siren off the car in front of the station. Now came Ferne Wible dangling by her teeth from a rope high above every- one's heads. Later she said she owed her marvelous jaws to chewing gum in school. Next Helen Hinkley with husband number 9, was giving an interview, quote, I really didn't dislike any of them, but I do SO like new engagement rings. After this the poor machine let us see and hear the Discord Quartette-Mac McMarrell, singing low bass and stuttering, George Hornsher, tenor, Everest Wible, baritone, Richard Kuckuck just making noises. They were well known, well disliked and heard over all the worst sta- tions. The managers felt it made the listeners appreciate the following programs. Now what should be shown but Albert Allen and Cecil Koon as co-editors of the La Vie Paree Magazine. The scene shifted to Prof. Donald Gunsaullus, AB, BS, MA, Ph. D., instructor of Calculus. Lamar had the bad taste to laugh. Pat Patterson, as his assistant, cleaned the blackboards after each example. Much different from this high standard was the following scene of Mary Anna Forker starting a nudist camp. Her explanation was, A girl can't be good all the time. Robert Hafer was shown in'his curling iron factory. Earl Halferty was shown testing new parachutes. He was good because his center of gravity was so low down. Violet Kitchen followed, she had fallen into and was vainly striving to find her way out of her cello. Irene Schmidt was caught dumping her dishwater out the window. Next the ray was directed to a session of Herbert Iackson's, Petting Paradise Night Club, and the music of Ilene Hart's Hot Shot Girl Orchestra. It was under the direction of Ilo Mae Swartz, a good program was assured. Betty Hartman was a model of a per- fect hat check girl. Phyllis Gunsaullus was a blues singer who really made you feel blue. Beatrice Ruehart, gold digger supreme, headed the chorus. The hit of the eve- ning wtas Evelyn Siedel in her famed Shadow Dance. My! Myl How times do change! Elden McWilliams, janitor, said he wouldn't trade jobs with Mussolini. Much different was the stern note in the next picture. lack Aichele, G-man, was out with his magni- fying glass on the trail of Robert Hosler, public enemy No. l plus. The tension was re- lieved soon with the sight of Tom Renkenberger pulling himself out of his horse trough where his mule had deposited him. Next Esther Hass was shown being crowned as champion hog caller of seven states and Canada. Morton Holcomb remarked that those who had sat near her at basketball games would readily believe this. Ruth Bro- wand was seen teaching her dog to rob the neighbor's hen-houses-starting the poor thing on a path of sin. The show was over-the machine a success! So everybody left to celebrate on gin- gerale and pop.

Page 19 I' u-.-.-. - H- 9 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY What a race, what a finishl For a while it didn't look like they had a chance. The reason for this conversation was the spectacular winning finish put on by one of the relay teams at the Drake relays, after many had given up hope for a victory for them. A detailed story of how the Kaitchess team came through for their triumph came out in the News-Sun. Iune 4, 1936-At eight o'clock tonight, H. M. Dixon, athletic director of Kaitchess, with all the simple ceremony of the Greek games, will present laurel wreaths to his victorious. students, seventy-three in number, who, against great odds, spurted to a winning finish one stride ahead of their nearest rivals, the Malus Marks te-am. The winning time was four years. The Runners were as follows: Donald Gunsaullus, Thomas Renkenberger, Mary Alice McDaniel, Ierome Rupp, Everest Wible, Howard Misselhorn, Edward Stoeckley, Ioe Deal, Ruth Browand, David Runden, Morton Holcomb, with Misselhorn because of his endur- ance again running, as anchor man. The trainers were Mr. Carl Hamman, Miss Cath- erine Newnam and Miss Verna Page. The teams colors were Blue and Silver with the anchor man dressed in a flashing Blue and Gold outfit. Four teams were entered, Malus Marks being the favorite to win by thirty yards. As the gun cracked the lead-off men flashed away from their starting blocks. The Kaitchess team ran well but being unacquainted with the track lost much time in ss- ing the baton. When the second team received the baton a substantial gap lay the Malus Marks who were ahead and the Kaitchess thinlies. The second teqnf-tfiwhich had trained longer and had seen the mistakes made by the leadoff bunch tookzjsfrides which were smoother, easier, and longer. The baton passing was still a little ifncertain but it, too, had quickened. The Iuniors added a special trainer, Miss Ruth Sherman who inspired them to greater efforts with Skidding, a successful thifee-act comedy. ln this stretch Kaitchess went into the lead but near the end they tired badly, mostly due to the Banquet work and when the Senior group got started the Marks again were leading by twenty yards. During the rest of the race the lead changed as often as the batons. On the last turn Misselhorn, Kaitchess anchor man, pushed ahead to snap the tape a foot to the good. With Miss Eva Robertson directing, the group presented Growing Pains which aided also in the victory. The training table of the athletes consisted of juicy curriculum steak with Club salads. Miss Verna Page, head trainer is largely responsible for the fine condition of the ath- letes during the last two years. CLASS OFFICERS Freshman Iunior President ...................,..,.

IUNIOR CLASS RECORD ln 1934 the present Iunior class made its first bid for honors in Kei .dallville High School, as Freshmen. The class elected Rose Hubler, President, Norman Reed, Vice President, Iohn Howerton, Secretary-treasurer, and Miss Albright, Sponsor. The class proudly assumed the name of Sophomore in l935, and chose Miss Newnam, Sponsor, Iohn Howerton, President, Patty Williams, Vice President, and George Busang, Secretary-treasurer. Our class party was held on Novem- ber 24. We lost Miss Newnam in mid-semester, and asked Miss Albright to take her place. ln the spring we had another party. When we rose to the rank of Iuniors, we selected Miss Sawyer as Sponsor, Iohn Howerton, President, Gerry Del-loff, Vice President, and George Busang, Secretary-treasurer. Our motto is Three down and One to go, black and silver are our colors, and our flower is the American Beauty Rose. ln late October the class held a Hobo Party. Everyone had a good time to the tune of hot music and cold cider. Dancing and group contests afforded the entertainment. Our rings, chosen in October, arrived in early November. There was a choice of type of ring, but all were the same design. Most of the class pur- chased rings. On November 25 and 26 we presented our class play, The Nut Farm. As a result of its success we are looking forward to an elaborate Iunior-Senior Banquet which will be May 20. The Iuniors are devoting much time toward this event.

SOPHOMORES Two years have elapsed since our group has entered High School. No serious mishaps have occurred, although a few members have dropped their studies to enter other fields of activities. At the first of the year We voted for officers in the usual manner and when the ballots were tabulated we found ourselves headed by Edward Davey as President, Lee Bushong as Vice Presi- dent, Walter Evers as Secretary-treasurer, and as Sponsor, Royal Tritch. A very promising semester, socially as well as scholastically was anticipated. Our big class party was held on November 28 in the small gym. An unusually fine program, arranged and given by the members, was thoroughly enjoyed. Dancing followed the delicious refreshments, and a generally pleasant eve- ning was had by all. Mr. Tritch, our sponsor, has kept us on our toes and very ably helped us to return the standards attained when we were Freshmen. Our present officers filled the places of Ervin Fritz as President, Betty Kollman as Vice President, and Marjorie Isbell as Secretary-treasurer, who were elected in '34. As Sophomores, we feel proud to have advanced thus far into the four years of high school work, and to have had an enjoyable time doing it.

After the entertain- ment, Howard Kenestrick and Mrs. Fritz played the piano for dancing. The class has been very active in the Iunior Red Cross.

Be interested in athletics and other extra-curricular activities, but not to the extent that these seriously hamper you in your studies. loin the orchestra or band if you possibly can. Try out for class plays.

EIGHTH GRADE Wearing the traditional green, we arrived in the High School Building to partially prepare for our entrance to high school, an objective we all look for- ward to but can barely conceive. Although rather small, we were indeed conspicuous but nevertheless carried on, even under the usual remarks of the upper classmen, to a favorite place in the faculty's estimation. Our initial business duties were to select our class officers and a sponsor. Hubert Forbes was chosen President, Norman Bortner as Vice President, Everett Conklin as Secret-ary-treasurer, a very capable group to lead us through our first year in this labyrinth of class rooms. As Sponsor, we saw fit to select Mr. Paul Haist, our selection proving to be a good one. Our social activities were topped by an extremely enjoyable Christmas party held in December. The entertainment gave light to talents of several 8th graders. Dancing followed and at 9:45 we adjourned, determined to have another party as nice as this one, in the near future. With our high school days about to begin, we decided to stick together and try to end up with lOO graduates, just as we have entered with an even 100. lf the four years in high school promise to be as enjoyable as our Sth grade, we surely would finish triumphantly.

These words mentioned by anyone eighty years ago in any state of the Union and Canada would have caused that person to be marked as one weighed in the balance and found wanting, and as one Well qualified and suitable to bear watching. The reason for Noble County's unsavory reputation was the reign of the Black Legs. Before the County had become extensively settled and the pioneers were yet mainly interested in building homes, draining swamps, and leveling forests loaded with deer, tur- keys, wolves, coons, and a few bears and wild cats, a powerful band of crim- inals nationally and internationally notorious had established its headquarters in the tamaracks, an ideal hide-out near Rome City. Many respectable and upstanding citizens were in league with the crim- inals, giving them valuable information and safe hide-out. The regulators and the hanging of Gregory MacDougal snapped the vicious circle or ring of criminals. Most of the settlers were, like all sturdy pioneers, a kind and sympathetic lot. This was demonstrated during the fever sickness of 1838. The County at that time was ten to fifteen percent swamp. The year was wet until the middle of Iune. No more rain fell until next winter. Nothing planted grew. The intense heat of summer evaporated stagnant waters causing malaria to spread. The lack of doctors and medical supplies increased the suffering. At Rochester all except two in the whole village were sick. These two, Mr. Dorus Swift and Miss Achsah Kent, attended to the villagers' needs. The pioneer's life was not a monotonous grind as many believe. Quilting parties, spelling bees, inns and taverns, hangings, and politics were a part of his daily life. The last is probably the most interesting to write on. Tippe- canoe and Tyler too was a campaign cry long remembered. William Mitchell's ox roast was another high light. Opponents for an office traveled together, sleeping in the same house. Even in the good old days the courts had their Clarence Darrows. David H. Colerick speaking against conclusive proof fthe pork was found in the client's cellarl secured a verdict for his client of not guilty of charges of hog- stealing. In the elections at Wayne Center some clever politics was practiced. The school where the voting was done was surrounded by thick brush. Each party had a full whiskey jug hidden in the brush and many a Whig and Democrat staggered out of the brush and walking in a very crooked line, voted a straight ticket. Of course, too, financiers flourished then as now. The plank road now called the Lima road was a failure. The other road, a canal from Fort Wayne to Michigan City, using the Elkhart River, was another affair that dwindled into financial losses. An excavation from Albion to Rome City was made. It can still be seen on the Old Canal Road whose road bed is the bottom of this canal. A law in the books that is no longer in force reads Horses on pavement prohibited except during loading or unloading of vehicle. The years filed by. Railroads and better highways came into Noble County. We sent our quota of men to the Civil War. Industries settled here, tavems grew into villages and towns. Better methods in agriculture and sanitation added to the enjoyment of life. Paved roads, better law enforcement and a more extensive and effective system of education have all added to our dear old county until now without shame or fear of distrust, you may proudly say I am from Noble County. David Runden Page 27 lKR'AI l ll Drinking once I grew quite bleary, thinking of a girl friend cheery, Of a girl friend who had left me, left me not too long before. Soon I nodded, soon was napping, presently I heard a tapping As of wings so gently flapping, flapping at my bedroom door. The canary's out, I muttered, flapping at my bedroom door, Only this and nothing more. Once again I fell to sipping, to my lips the large flask tipping. If the bottle were an apple, I would now have reached the core. I made move to now discard it, I'm afraid I must have jarred it, Fragments of it were now scattered all about the bedroom floor. Of the two I had to start with, one was on the bedroom floor, One was left and nothing more. Then I raised my eyes to doorward, my hair lifted-pointed forward! For a large and terrible raven was now oozing through the door. Was it that I had been boozing? Or my senses I was losing? For the bird now drifted skyward to a frame above the door. In a picture frame it perched and sat above my bedroom door. Perched and sat and nothing more. His dark eyes made me address them, Words could never quite express them. So I told him of my troubles and the girl I'd had before. How I'd felt since she had left me, felt since so much was bereft me, How she'd left me for another that she'd seldom seen before. I was drinking, since she'd left me for a man scarce seen before. Quoth the Raven, One drink more. Since his words were of the soundest, next my drinking was the roundest. For I scarce could see the raven perched above the bedroom door. I glanced downward, hardly daring, for beneath, the floor was tearing! There appeared a host of elephants, elephants rising from the floorl A great herd of colored elephants rising from the bedroom floor! Quoth an elephant, One drink more. Next, there followed dogs and donkeys, cats and rats and bats and monkeys Rabbits, kangaroos, and 'possurns, and a fierce wild old boar. What an odd conglomerationl Animals from every nation! Till I felt like old man Noah and his animals of yore. Felt exactly like old Noah and his coupled beasts of yore! Quoth the chorus, One drink more. Now we sure don't want to grieve you, but we fear that we must leave you,' Said my bedroom zoo to me as they again went through the floor. My menagerie was shrinking as they through the floor were sinking, I was soon left with the raven who still sat above the door. All were gone except the raven who remained above the door. Quoth the Raven, Take one more. No, I said. Bird, do not tempt me, she would never then exempt me I-'rom the class in which she put me, put me not so long before. F or she said I was a drunkard and a good for nothing lunkard, Iust because I drank a little--drank a little-never more. She had no right to chastise me-I take two drinks-never more. I will take just one drink more. Page 28 Prophet bird, I cried, don't fail me. Is there naught that will avail me? But the Raven too was fading-fading through the bedroom door. lust a minute, I implore you! I have one more question for you, Will she ever? Will she never come back to me anymore? This! Oh Raven, is my question: Will she come back anymore? Like a laugh came, Nevermore. Wyndham Brown-Senior. TO GO OR NOT TO GO To go or not to go-that is the question! No, this is not intended as a takeoff on Hamlet, but rather a modern application of that idea, as set down by Shakespeare many years ago. College is the place referred to in the opening sentence. Nowadays, and at about this time of year, the high school Senior is pondering this question. The Post-Graduate is thinking about this, also. Undoubtedly others, too, are giving vent to philosophics along the same line. As long as this vast army is loosing brilliant thoughts on this subject, why should.n't I? Let this group of words be a help to all these in answering their queries, or disregard the whole matter entirely. First, it would be impossible, as well as foolish, for every person who graduates from high school to go to college. Most colleges prefer students for entrance who graduate in the upper part of their class. Then there are some persons who would never care to be any more than ditch diggers anyway. I'm not saying that everybody would not be better off after a period in college, but I repeat that, as harshas it may seem, a certain few in our country are so ultra-reactionary that they can see no gain in becoming as intelligent as possible. But, secondly, everybody who cares enough to ask whether or not to go, I believe, should go. Of course the financial side always rears its ugly head. Finances in college are becoming easier and easier to meet these days. Those of us who are not able to enter some private institution can always look to the State, tuition free, Colleges. Scholarships are always available to those who want them and are willing to work hard for them. At the Uni- versity many jobs, which tend to make the expenses of your education neg- ligible, are now available. There are left those of that class who have never had a care or worry as to where that college education was coming from. They go away to school, enter all social functions, study occasionally, cram when exams come around, finish college or flunk, then live off Dad the rest of their lives. I don't mean that all do this, just that one class. Sometimes our Longs and Townsends pop up with ideas to change all this, but it is human nature and impossible to change. It is a well-known fact some of those who have many opportunities snatch the wrong one, while the one with few chances by dint of hard labor succeeds. Ioe Deal-Senior. Page Z9 PHANTOM HOLLOW Tucked away among the hills of southern Indiana there is a little com- munity where the very air is charged with mystery and where stories that stir the imaginations of the most matter-of-fact visitors still flourish. I learned a few of these stories from a grizzled old settler While riding with him from the nearest railroad station to the isolated community in his horse-drawn buggy. During the course of our ride that evening we had to cross the same winding river three times. As we neared the first bridge, my companion pointed out a mass of charred ruins which, he explained, had once been a large hotel. It had accommodated many guests who came annually to drink the healthful water from the nearbY mineral springs. The dilapidated stables were still standing. He told me a very peculiar story in regard to this. . Thirty years ago, a great celebration was being held at the hotel. Peo- ple from all over the community had come to dance and have a good time. Late in the evening somebody upset a kerosene lamp and almost immedi- ately the whole dance-hall burst into flames... In the mad rush for the doors several people Were knocked down and trampled. Nine people failed to escape and were burned to death. Every night when there is a full moon the agonized whispers of the nine ghosts can be heard as they search among the ruins for their ashes. As We approached the second bridge, I heard a faint but clearly hideous scream, then a sickening, shuddering laugh which made my hair stand on end. The old man explained that one day not long after the big hotel fire, a young lad and his sister who lived about a quarter mile back from the road, had crossed the creek, then spanned by a covered bridge, to go down to the scene of the hotel fire. They stayed until dusk, starting home just as darkness was falling. They started through the covered bridge, when, com- ing from the opposite end toward them they saw what appeared to be a bear. Stricken with horror, they screamed and ran, the bear following closely behind. The fright had been so severe that the girl went violently insane. To this daY her horrified screams can be heard. She still is living. Investigation revealed that the bear was a man, intending no harm at all. About a mile beyond this bridge, we stopped to tighten some harness. In the quiet dusk I heard the sound of someone approaching on foot. My companion jumped and whispered nervously, lt's himl Who? I asked, looking up and down the road but seeing no one. Ice Whiffet's ghost! he replied tersely. Then I noticed the steps, plainly audible now, were getting closer. Still l saw no one. A clanking sound, as if the approaching person carried a heavy chain, was also noticeable. Now the steps seemed to come abreast of us, then slowly they faded in the distance. My companion told me that years ago Ioe Whiffet had been hung by a mob for setting an old widow's house on fire and fatally burning her. Later 1t Was found that he had not been guilty. Ever since then, Ioe's ghost has haunted his lynchers until now, most of them are dead too. Within a quarter mile of the town, I noticed thewremains of a large house which had burned some time before. Years ago, I was told, an old man and his family had lived there. The old man was good hearted, but he had an outrageous temper. As his sons grew older, one by one he drove them Page 30 u X..-4.,,,, .- K ' Hl'71 'W?'fiWf .' Kwai- ' 'f ' ' ' ff away. This continued until at length he alone remained. Then one day the old man died. One by one his sons returned to claim their heritage. None stayed long however. Finally the house was for sale or rent. Sev- eral tenants moved in, but always after a short stay, they moved away. They told of shadowy forms being visible in the early evening and of pe- culiar sounds issuing from various places. Suddenly, one night, the house caught fire. Many people, rushing to the blaze, claimed that they saw dim figures fleeing from the fierY edifice. Whether or not these tales of ghosts are true, perhaps we shall never know. The old people of the region speak of the place as Phantom Hol- low. They believe these stories with the same spirit that they believe their Bibles. In the minds of these people, the phantoms will always exist, re- gardless of the beliefs of others. Iohn Howerton, Ir.-Iunior. A FRESHMAN LOOKS UP From the time they become Sophomores until they graduate, students make good use of Freshmen. If there is a theme to write and they can't think of a subject, there's always the Freshies to write about. If the staff doesn't know what to do with one little corner of the school paper, someone thinks up something humorous about Freshmen. If they believe a picture on a certain page would make it more uniform one of the art department quickly sketches a dear sweet little baby and labels it A Fresh- man. Of course the Freshmen can take it, but just for a change You will hear what a Freshman thinks of the upper-classmen. The Seniors are usually called stuck-up, but as far as the Freshmen are concerned, they aren'tl When they talk to us we can just feel they kind of wish they were Freshmen. They are the sweetest class of all. The Iuniors are the most stuck-up in regard to Freshmen. They don't, like the Seniors, feel how near is the end of their high school days. They think of the Freshmen as little insignificant people from the Iunior Assem- bly, and so take little or no interest in us. But still the Iolly Iuniors are nice in their own quaint way. , Now for the Sophomores. They certainly can't be accused of being stuck-up. They wouldn't think of snubbing those dear little Freshmen, They look into our assembly door and think to themselves, My, to think I was once in there. That was way last year, though, and now I'm in the big assembly, well, I don't have a seat in there, but I study there. Then, of course, the Sophomores must show us the ropes because they have had such wide experience, you know. They also must explain to us everything from playing basketball to sharpening a pencil and give us the merry ha-ha when we make mistakes which are just the repetition of the mistakes they made last year with a few variations. They take the greatest pleasure in calling us fresh and green. I suppose the memory of the time when they were thus called is still fresh in their minds. But in spite of all the Sunny Sophs are about the best of sports. Marie Ehlers-Freshman. A Page 31 THOUGHTS ON OUR TOMORROWS After all, just what do Our Tomorrows hold for us. Don't you often wonder? We, the Seniors, are ready to take that one big step out into the world, facing we know not what. We have come to the place where we must make a decision, and it is up to us to decide which way to go. Everyone has an ambition to do something and a goal in view. Some will achieve this end, but others will change their course. What part does chance play? Is it true that opportunity knocks and failing to find you in, comes no more? Opportunity stands outside our door every day, but we must be awake to the fact and ready to fight and win. We must devote our time to the things that will lead to our goal, for The quality and quantity of our life is the product of all our time. Another important part of our job is to think, but only right thinking will lead to the success we desire. Thoughts that are helpful rather than depressing will improve our minds. They are the rungs on the ladder to success. And yet, there are other things needed besides success if we want to make the most of our lives. Happiness! In searching for this, do we find it only in prosperity, or wealth, or worldly possessions? One can be happy in doing something useful, or in seeking the best in everything, or in ap- preciation of lovely things. Why shouldn't we be happy in having even the privilege to live? Friendship! Another thing to strive for, which involves sincerity, congeniality, and sharing. Aristotle said Friendship is one soul in two bodies. When we have lived our life, will we be able to say, I got what I want- ed out of life? We get out of life only what we put in it. Let yesterday be put aside, Tomorrow bring what it may, But let me do my very best Today, and live my best today. Mary Anna Forker--Senior. KENDALLVILLE HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP TRUST This organization was set up by the graduating class of l934 by the gift of over sixty dollars which was increased by the class of l935 which do- nated almost forty dollars. The purpose of this fund is to provide worthy K. H. S. graduates, who need money and are within two years of graduation from a college, uni- versity, or training school, with easy loans so that they may complete their training, find work and pay back the money which will then be loaned over again. Each class is invited to elect a member to the Board of Trustees for a three year term and all graduating classes are sincerely urged to contribute to the fund. Thus in the course of years the fund will increase by class gifts and private donations which are sought by the Board, into a large sum capable of performina greater service to a greater number of ambitious young men and women. The splendid service that this fund may perform and the altruism of its purpose should appeal to loyal K. H. S. students.

Sherman The Spotlight, now a definitely estab- lished publication and member of the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association, has now been published for the third successful school year. Undoubtedly the staffs to come are destined to enjoy the ever increasing demand for the Spotlight, the paper whose object it is to establish favorable relations between students and faculty, to acquaint readers with the various organizations and personalities which are prominent in the school, and to promote worthy school proj- ects. The new equipment, made possible by those who took a decided interest in the Spotlight and its welfare, has effected a marked change in comparison with the first issue which was proudly published. The circulation, a scant few just three years ago, has increased to some 450, arn- ple proof that the Spotlight has been thor- oughly successful.

Life has loveliness to sell- Music like a curve of gold, Scent of pine trees in the rain, Eyes that love you, arms that hold, And for you spirits still delight, Holy thoughts that star the night. Spend all you have for loveliness, Buy it and never count the cost, For one white singing hour of peace Count many a year of strife well lost, And for a breath of ecstasy Give all you have been or could be. -Sara Teasdale GIRL RESERVE ACTIVITIES The Girl Reserve activities for the year 1935-36 started with a Setting-Up-Confer ence held at the Hohnhaus cottage at Pretty Lake on September 10. On this oc- casion the Cabinet selected the theme for the year, Life Has Loveliriess to Sell, and made out the calendar for the year. During the month of September, a I-layride Breakfast was given in the way of a party for the new girls. Page 34 On October 5, the Kendallville group were the hosts of the District Conference in which five organizations were repre- sented, Garrett, Angola, Butler, Waterloo, and Kendallville. The idea of a market place was carried out during the all day session. Miss Helen Papes, of Elkhart, de- livered the principal address on the sub- ject, Whatsoever Things Are Lovely. In November a Major Bowes Amateur Night was put on, various members of the club taking part on the program. Rec- ognition Services were also held in No- vember. Pa, Ma, and Me, Night was observed on December 10. The Mothers and Fath- ers of the members were invited as guests. The main feature of the evening was the presentation of the play, The Boy on the Meadow. The annual Christmas Party for the children was given on December 18. The highlights for the months of Ian- uary and February were the Girl Reserve Dance and a meeting featuring a talk on Iewelry bY Mr. Beckman. In the month of March the Girl Re- serves sponsored a Style Show with the girls' mothers as invited guests. This proved to be a very interesting meeting. A formal dance will be given on May 29th. MOTHER-DAUGHTER BANQUEI' The annual Mother-Daughter Banquet, sponsored by the Girl Reserves, was held March l7, at the Elk's Temple. More than two hundred attended the banquet. The tables were beautifully decorated in green and white, carrying out the idea of St. Patrick. The favors were paper dolls cleverly dressed in green and white Grace was said by Katherine Lawson, and the dinner music was furnished by the high school trio, composed of Betty lane Aungst, piano, Marjadene Reed, vio- linist, and Violet Kitchen, cellist. lean Arehart served ably as toastmis- tress. Mary Anna Forker, Girl Reserve President, gave the welcome address to the mothers, with Mrs. Clarence Bucher giving the response. Margaret Miller en- tertained with a vocal solo. A play The Romancersf' which was presented under the direction of Miss Lois Shore, proved very entertaining to all. Irish Songs, led by Miss Iosephine Sawyer, were then sung by the audience. The main address of the evening was given by Mrs. Annie Laurie Welles, Fort Wayne public school probation officer, who spoke on Whatsoever Things Are Lovely. The address by Mrs. Welles was very interesting and instructive.

Early in the fall two plays were presented, The Man in the Bowler Hat and In the Silence of the Night. A masqued ball was held October twenty-ninth for members and guests. Prizes were given for the best costumes. A puppet show was presented and ghost stories were told. Dancing and refreshments followed. Apprentice night was observed December seventeenth. The program was composed of short playlets, musical numbers, and monologues. Following this event the club entertained the Alumni members. At this time the apprentices were admitted into full membership of the club. Short speeches and musical numbers were given by the Alumni members. The evening was spent socially. In accordance with the popular fad, an amateur program was presented in which much genuine talent was displayed. The Knave of Hearts was presented as a public play in conjunction with the Business and Professional Womens Club. On February nineteenth the first act of The Patsy was given under the direction of Miss Sherman. The second act followed in form of a radio performance. An interesting meeting on current events about dramatics was held. Apprentice night will be observed in April. The club plans to have a senior farewell party.

This play was to show how the rhyme is false, that the knave was no thief but a hero indeed. The play trans- ported you to the royal kitchen of Pomp- dibile VIII where great events were tran- spiring. According to an old law made by Pompdibile I, every prospective queen must be able to cook a dish selected by her to the satisfaction of the royal cooks. Now, Pompdibile VIII was in love, the heart in his ample bosom beat tu- multously every time he beheld the ob- ject of his desire-the Lady Violetta, and he watched eagerly. With everyone gathered in the room, the Lady Violetta announced the dish, raspberry tarts. Great Goslings, cried the cooks, there is no raspberry jam in the palace! Though the others were willing to quit, the chancellor stuck up for the constitu- tion. Finally a page drew a jar of rasp- berry jam from his pocket-saved for his lunch! Everything was ready. Forthwith Lady Violetta with much aplomb pre- pared a savory dish of vinegar, pepper, butter, milk and flour. Mixing it vigor- ously she smiles upon the king and he relaxes-satisfied that she is a good cook. However, a slight frown appears on the face of the Knave of Hearts-he knows a bit more about cooking than the king- while on the faces of the cooks it is mag- nified to horror. Lady Violetta ladles out her creation into a pan, puts it in the oven and slams the door. Pompdibile leaves the room with his retinue to wait until the tarts are done, and Violetta left alone immediately breaks into tears, and upon the return of the Knave of Hearts sobs to Page 37 him that she can not cook. This was no surprise to the Knave but her sorrow dis- tressed him. Violetta recalling that if her tarts did not pass the test she would be ridden out of the kingdom on a mule, again broke into tears. Let us look at them, she cried. The Knave drew them out, then turned away his head. White shapeless lumps covered the bottom of the pan. Violetta implored the Knave to help her but what was there to do? At last he hit upon a plan. His wife, one of the best cooks in the land, had made some tarts that morning. He would take these away, bring back hers, and every- thing would be hotsy-totsy. Snatching up the tarts he jumped out the window on his errand. Meanwhile the king wished to come and examine the tarts-nothing could stop him. The court filed into the room, the cooks opened the oven, and horrors! the tarts were gone! Violetta ad- mitted she had left the room to powder her nose. One of the queen's ladies had seen the knave jump out the window with a tray in his hand. Find him, roared the king to the Heralds. They left. He shall be punished, said the king sternlY. The chancellor, a dear friend of the Knave's, suggested beheading him, a thought thoroughly seconded by the king. The Heralds brought in the Knave with a tray of lucious tarts, damning evidence. Behead him, said the Chancellor, lick- ing his lips. Yes, behead him, echoed the king. Noi No! said Violetta, that would not be cruel enough. Force him to remain a mere knave forever. This be- ing a thing the knave most desired. Here the king sampled a tart- Stop, said the king, smacking his lips, Knave, you are forgiven-mere human nature cannot re- strain itseli in the midst of such lucious tidbits-More! Give me more. The cooks having sampled them fell into each other's arms declaring them perfect. The Lady Violetta had passed the test. Now the kings enormous appetite for- bade their saving the tarts for the museum with the dishes of the previous queen so some other method had to be figured out with which to commemorate the occasion. So the Knave of Hearts wrote the poem which before this only the Queen and he knew was untrue but of which now we know the truth: The Queen of Hearts, she baked some tarts All on a summers day. The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts And took them quite away. The King of Hearts called for those tarts And beat the Knave full sore. The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts And vowed he'd sin no more. b ci l Lower row Victor Walters, Donald Kasiner, Mr. Harnnian, lohn Walters, Kathlyn Eminger.

The Club consists of about sixteen members with Iohn Wagoner as Pres- ident, Mary Lea Vetter as Secretary and Ieanne Kern as Treasurer. Many interesting and Educational Speeches and demonstrations were given by various members of the Club and all took part in the experiment- ing. The above silhouettes were made by the club. Page 38 PHILATELIC SOCIETY Movement for a stamp club in this high school was started by Robert Bridenthal. Miss Goodwin was asked to sponsor the club because she was a stamp collector. Permission to organize a stamp club was obtained from Mr. Brumbaugh. The first meeting was held in Miss Goodwin's room on Wednesday, Nov. 24, 1934. Fourteen were present at this meeting. Miss Goodwin was elected sponsor. Other officers were elected as follows: President, Robert Briden- thalg Vice president, Ioe Deal, Secretary-treasurer, William Mountz. The club was named, Philatelic Society, CPhilatelic is a Greek word meaning stamp collectionl but it is more often called The Stamp Club. It was decided to hold meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month, at 7:00 in the High School Library. A committee, made up of Ioe Deal, Harold Kast- ner, and Henry Saller, was appointed by the President to arrange the pro- grams for the coming year. The Constitution was to be drawn up by a com- mittee composed of Miss Goodwin, Frank Reed, Paul Isbell, Allen Brumbaugh, Robert Bridenthal and William Mountz. At the next meeting, the Constitution was submitted by the committee, it was adopted with several minor changes. The officers are elected for one semester and are eligible for re-election. The Vice President serves as chair- man of the program committee. Important questions are decided by the Executive Committee, which is made up of the Sponsor, President, Vice Presi- dent, Secretary-Treasurer, and a fifth member elected by the club. At the present time, the fifth member is Ioe Deal. Besides the members who are in High School, there are Honorary members who are high school graduates and who are interested in stamp collecting. These members may come to meetings and serve in committees but are not eligible to hold office. At the club meetings this year, the programs have consisted of talks by the members of the club and by outside speakers. These talks have been on new issues, the stamps of other countries and other phases of stamp col- lecting. At one meeting,-Mr. Haist, of the faculty, gave a talk on water marks and rare issues and recently Ernest Sprandel gave an interesting and instructive talk on pre-cancels. V The club has been considering an auction sale before the school term closes. Last year, under the supervision of Robert Bridenthal, exhibits were displayed in the library. These exhibits consisted of airmail stamps, trans- portation stamps, map and globe stamps, stamps of famous men, invention stamps and many other interesting groups. Many new commemorative stamps have been issued the last few years, the most interesting now being the Texas Centennial. The Rhode Island issue is soon to come out. Entrance requirements of the Philatelic Society are a C average in aca- demic subjects and a definite interest in stamp collecting. President ............. ..........

THE BAND Ask any player on any basketball floor or football field what inspires him more than anything and the almost unanimous answer will be, The band. Our band is no exception. Under Mr. Carl Hamman's baton the band has taken big strides this year, playing in a concert during MaY Music Week, broadcasting over WOWO, playing for home basketball and marching in the Christmas parade. Four members of the band, Robert Kropp, William Kenestrick, George Homsher, and Hubert Forbes, attended the Indiana State Music Festival held in Bloomington, April 15, 16, 17, and played in the massed band. Many young players have joined and a seventy piece outfit is the aim of Mr. Hamman. The Matinee Music Club and other Civic organizations are purchasing instruments to aid Mr. Hamman in his effort.

On eight days' notice, in order to make its solo entrants, Olive Kimmel and David Runden, eligible, the orchestra entered the Peru district contest in the National Band and Orchestra Contest on April 3rd and were declared win- ners With Goshen High School in the class B section Cschools with enrollment between two hundred and fifty and eight hundredl. Special comment was made on the fine tone quality, clear playing, and the only thing it was not rated well in, was the lack of tympani, trombone, and string basses. Since winning, considerable enthusiasm has been aroused. The Matinee Music Club voted to making as next year's project to obtain instruments for both band and orchestra. A pair of tympani have been obtained for use in the State Contest at Elkhart, April 25th. BULLETIN-The Orchestra came through with flying colors, winning first division in class B at Elkhart. The orchestra will compete in National in l937.

They have played on numerous programs, both of the school and town. The trio con- sists of Marjadene Reed, violin, Violet Kitchen, 'cellog and Betty lane Aungst, piano. Violet will be lost through graduation. MUSIC WINNERS Look at all three! Yes, Kendallville feels proud and justly so, of these three solo contestants, for they have brought honor to the school as well as to themselves. Violet, a silver medal winner in the 'cello division of the Indiana University contest at Bloomington two years ago, won honorable mention this year at the same contest. David had the honor of placing in tirst division for Xylophone in the In- diana State Band and Orchestra Contest at Elkhart. Olive, a gold medal winner last year, also in the 'cello division of the ln- diana University contest held at Bloomington, this year placed in first division at Elkhart. Olive has been recommended and will compete in the National Contest in Cleveland on May l5 and 16. K. H. S, hopes for a winner in the National also.

The Nut Farm was written by Barry Connor. It was a three-act comedy-drama. Place was in the parlor of the Barton home. Bob Bent moved with his wife and her mother and brother from New Ier- sey to Hollywood, California, where he intended to purchase a nut farm. His wife, however, after awhile convinced the family with the exception ot her brother, Willie, that she was gifted with great talent and instead oi purchasing the nut farmtBob invests his money in a picture which is starring his wife. The Companygwhich is producing the picture is phoney, but Willie, being the only one to realize it can not convince the rest of the family, so the pic- ture is made and Bob's money gone. Willie comes in and saves the day by directing and cutting until he makes it a great success.

The theme throughout deals with the trials and tribulations of the aver- age American boy and girl while going through that awkward stage, adol- escence, in which amusing incidents happen daily. ' George Mclntyre, at the age where he is spontaneously attracted by feminine beauty, falls desperately in love with the new neighbor girl who holds Georgie as being too young to comprehend the term he applied to his case, namely, Love A party promised to George if he would agree to have his tonsils removed, is given and the audience seemed to enjoy it as though they themselves were attending, as the actors portray a lively scene including the purloining of the hosts pants as a practical joke, the frivolity surrounding the dance, and finally a scrape with the traffic officer which lands George in jail. Prudence Darling, the girl next door, eventually informs George that he is too young so George again sees the day when he and Brian Stanley are to be contenders for the hand of another new girl. Professor Mclntyre and his wife are typical parents and are confronted with every day worries and very ably play their parts. Terry Mclntyre, the kid sister is a nuisance to her brother but is a favorite to the audience. THE CAST Mrs. Mclntyre .............. Mary A. Forker Prof. Mclntyre ....,,..,...,,,....,,...

The gym was transformed into a tropical garden with small tables beneath a moonlit sky. Tall palms were everywhere and flowery vines climbed over the wall of an ancient inn. The garden faced the sea where a dark cliff stood silhouetted against a yellow moon. The menu was in keeping with the Hawaiian idea. David Runden, as a Kamaaina introduced all the speakers. Edward Stoeckley greeted the Seniors and guests with Aloha. Two tiny Polynesians, Mary Ann Burger and Sally Lou Teders, appeared and danced their way, scattering flower petals. Mary jane Kauffman and Mary Lea Vetter placed leis about the necks of the boys. Ellen Arehart represented the Seniors as a Malihine. Trade Winds was the subject of L. D. Baker's speech. Miss Alice Baker was the principal speaker. She compared the design of Hawaiian roads to the pattern of life. The program closed with a Marirnba solo Aloha Oe by David Runden. The juniors owe much of their success to their sponsor, Miss Page, who worked so hard to make all the details sug- gestive of the islands she visited a few years ago. SOCIETY IUNIOR HOBO PARTY The junior class held a hobo party in the little gym, October 25, with sixty-five tramps, hoboes, and bums present, attired in as many varieties of old clothing as they could resurrect. The group divided into four sec- tions and played many relay games. Following this, music was furnished by Howard Kenestrick, Karl Bly, and Robert joe Hosler. With such a pep- py orchestra of course everybody had to dance. Refreshments of hot- dogs and cider were then served. Page 45 WIG AND PAINT MASKED BALL Our local high school dramatic club, Wig and Paint, held a masked Hallowe'en party, October 29, in the little gym. There was a grand march to de- termine the funniest costume, the cleverest one, and the prettiest. Phyllis Gunsaullus was awarded the prize for the funniest, joe Deal as Caesar the cleverest, john I-lowerton and jean Schlictenmyer for the prettiest. After the grand march everyone unrnasked and told ghost stories. SOCIETY fcont.J Dancing to the music of Karl Bly's orchestra furnished the balance of the entertainment. Refreshments of pumpkin pie and cider were en- joyed. SENIOR PARTY The Seniors held their party on board The Sea Hag November 29. The first stop was Hawaii, where the travelers were entertained by a Hawaiian dancer, Sally Lou Teders. From there the Ship went to Ia- pan. They proceeded onward to the Red Sea where everyone's at- tention was turned to a radio com- munication between Haile Selassie and Il Duce, Uohn Wagoner and Wyndham Brownl. London was the next stop, where Lost in a Fog was sung by Mary lane Kauffman. Next the travelers were taken back to New York where they were greeted with Lullaby of Broadway by Virginia Crofoot and Ieanne Kurtz. Dancing to Karl Bly's orchestra provided entertainment. SOPHOMORE PARTY The Sophomore class enjoyed a party on November l in the little gym with seventy-five present. During the early part of the eve- ning, games were played. The program was as follows: Clever monologue .... Kathryn Reade Piano solo ............,.......,. Betty Aungst Dance ..,,,.,....,..., Mary lane Kauffman Play ........................

Guymon COACHES If you are interested in sports, from duck hunting and catching bluegills, to track and touch football, go down to the office in the dressing room or out to the gym or down to the lake and get into a conversation with our coach, Charles Ivey. His supply of stories from actual experience is unlimited. When he is not busy, he becomes one of the boys wrestling anyone who wants to, riding the pole, playing mumblepeg, in basket shooting, and participating in various other games. In basketball and track, his efforts are meeting with success. His cool impartial judgment has earned for him the respect of the members of these teams. If more of his sincerity in purpose could be passed on to the Student Body which should back him, the Comets would and perhaps shall stand at the top in athletics. We hope in future years that STUDENT Our student managers, Dale Stockton and Dean Trindle have shown themselves quite worthy of a few words of tribute. These boys saw fit to serve the school one more year and their valuable assist- we'll back you Charley, as you have backed us. Coach O. O. Guymon whose hard work and loving character have found a permanent place in the athletic depart- ment of Kendallville High School, is one who still is full of pep and determination. Although his hair is a little grayer, his en- thusiasm has not been stinted in the least and that twinkle in his eye is there as bright as ever on the eve of a baseball game. Pop's way and willingness in working with the boys has given him a place of high respect and familiarity not common to most coaches. , The thing that has probably made him prouder than anything else, is his success in leading the baseball squad of '34 and '35 to a Noble County Championship and what could make him more proud than to win it again this year. We sincerely hope he does! MANAGERS ance both to the coaches and boys has been greatly appreciated. In their fur- ther association with the school, they ac- quired many friends in girls and boys alike.

Although there were none of last year's letter men, the track team looked very prom- ising with Zollman, Castator, Wible, Minar and Claussen back from last year's squad. The half mile relay team composed of Claussen, Rupp, Runden, and Koll- man, and the broad jumper Richard Claussen, were the Comet thinlies' main- stays. The half-mile relay team won firsts in all its dual meets and placed second in the Elkhart sectional. Claussen was Ivey's chief point-getter, av- eraging thirteen points a meet. He won first in most of the meets in which he contended and established new field records both in the Elkhart sectional held at Rice stadium where he jumped 21 feet 6112 inches, and at the N. E. I. Conference track meet held at North Side, Fort Wayne, athletic field where he made 21 feet 7 inches. With a first at Elkhart tucked under his belt Claussen traveled to Butler Field in Indianapolis where the State track meet was held. He just missed passing, by inches, the qualifying trials. Kollman also made a good showing at the N. E. I. C. where he won a second in the 220 yard dash. Our first meet was with Auburn at Garrett. Too much less Myers was the cause of our first setback. Big less cleaned up in the hundred, 220, and shot put, and took second in the broad jump. Albion was next on the list. Coach Emerson still had that boy Hiatt who had been the whole team the year before in a meet staged in freezing weather. Hiatt did quite well this time too, taking first in the hundred, pole vault, 440, and seconds in the broad jump and 220 fa dash which Kollman wonj. Back to Garrett again. That track must be a jinx for us. We lost again but it was close all the way. A meet with Columbia City was postponed because of soggy ground. We returned on May lst to Albion to regain our confidence. On May 7th we met Decatur at the North Side, Fort Wayne, field. It was a walkaway for us. We made clean sweeps in the 'l00, 880 and pole vault. May llth saw the Comets at Elkhart's beautiful Rice stadium. The day was perfect for a track meet. We did not do so badly. Our team's total was eight points. We scored another eight points at the N. E. l. C. track meet with Claussen's first in the broad jump and Kollman's second in the 220 yard dash. SEASON STATISTICS K.

But that is not what intra-mural is for primarily. lt is for the benefit of those who are interested in athletics but are unable to make the varsity squad. Athletics in school should not be confined to a handful but should be planned so that all who wish to take part may have the opportunity. lntra-mural this year has been composed of basketball, free-throw, track, and baseball. In basketball the players were divided into six heavyweight and six lightweight teams. ln each group the four with the highest percentage had a play-off tourney. The champions are Heavyweights- Lightweights- Morton Holcomb Stanley Emerick Thomas Swartz Frank Reed Iohn D. Pfeiffer lay Munk Raymond Shambarger Iohn Keenan Ioe Deal Eugene Homett Willis Peachy Maynard Preston Herbert Hontz Dale Thomas Quentin Williams Mark Sobrasky Ivan Grossman In free throws each class had eliminations with ten men finally on each team. Each man took forty tries. The Sophomores were winners. Robert Smith was individual champion with thirty-three and Ierome Rupp was sec- ond with thirty-two. The Seniors won the track meet for the second straight year. High point men were Elmer Zollman 29 Stanley Minar 27 Ierome Rupp 29 Gordon Ford 24 Paul Holbrook 28 Intra-mural K's were awarded to Leland DeKay, Norman Seidel, Wil- liam Herendeen, lohn D. Pfeiffer, Gordon Ford, Ierome Rupp, Thomas Ren- kenberger, Eugene Rice, Charles Dickinson, Stanley Minar, and Richard Claussen. Although touch football was not counted for points on an intra-mu K, the sport was received enthusiastically by the boys. Coach Ivey ha them clear the football field at the racetrack of stones. These teams also were divided into heavyweights and lightweights, four of each. The rules are similar to football with the most important change being that a man carrying the ball is considered down where an opponent touches him. TENNIS A K. H. S. tennis team this spring is almost a certainty. Mr. Penrod will be the coach and manager. Kendallville already has been entered in the N. E. I. C. tennis tournament at Decatur, May 16.

S. nine, with prac- tically all of last year's lineup, started off spring baseball on April 19, and flashed three successive victories. With barely a week's practice the Comets slugged their way to 5-3 and 8-7 scores respectively in the first two games of the season, played against Salem Center. Albion was the next victim of a more or less practice game in which the score ended 14 to 7. Their next encounter found Columbia City arrayed with lucky horseshoes to win a one-hit game by a score of 4 to 3. After again defeating Albion by a score of 15 to 2, the K'ville sluggers trav- eled to Columbia City to take a nine inning overtime by a score of 3 to 2. The N. E. I. C. meet was held at Hartford City, and K'ville competed. The Comets were defeated in their first game by Hartford City, 6 to 4. Angola and Rome City gave the Comets two successive defeats in games of almost airtight baseball. By the flip of a coin, Wible was on the mound against Angola to lose a two-hit game by the score of l to O, and- Williams lost a similar game to Rome City by the same score. To end the season of spring baseball, there were games played on Field Day at Albion, to determine the Noble County Champion. Ligonier was the Comet's first draw. With Williams on the mound, the K. H. S. nine walked away with a 7 to l victory. That afternoon the championship game between Wawaka and K'ville was played. The Comets were determined to win and played exceptionally good ball. A double by Stockton in the fourth, gave them a 2 to l victory. Little bronze medals were awarded to players of the Championship team. FALL BASEBALL OF '35 The schedule for fall baseball opened on Friday, three days after school had started, but Wawaka found the K. H. S. nine prepared enough to give them a l to 0 defeat. Playing slug-fast ball the Comets gave Albion a 16 to 8 drubbing and then cramped Avilla for a 6 to 2 victory.

The Comets lost their first game of the sea- son to Cromwell by a score of 2 to U. Revenge was granted, however, in games against Wolf Lake and LaOtto. Ligonier was next in turn and one of the strongest teams of Noble County. The K. H. S. nine played airtight baseball and held them to no hits to win by a l to O score. Finally came the old rival and jinx, Rome City. The Comets were unable to stop the slugging of the Romans and took a 6 to l defeat. Letters were awarded to Richard Claussen, Kent Curie, Edward Davey, Richard Haskins, Lloyd Herendeen, Mac McMarrell, Norman Reed, Eugene Rice, Ierome Rupp, Wallace Schultz, Lee Vaughn, and Everest Wible.

Salem Center copped their two runs in the first inning on a home run by Aldrich with one man on. The Comets earned three of their runs in the second inning when Eichel- baugh clouted. a double with three men on bases. A home run by Wible in the fifth with no one on and a double by Vaughn with two men on bases, gave the Comets their final score. The sixth and seventh innings found men going down in 1-2-3 fashion. Coach Guymon used three pitchers during the game. Stoeckley pitched the first two innings and was relieved by I-lerendeen who was in turn re- placed by Wible in the fifth.

BASKETBALL '35-'36 The '35-'36 season brought forth many thrilling games, including dis- heartening losses and hard earned wins. The past holds no regrets, the losses covered by moral victories, the wins accompanied by the right spirit. The schedule contained no push-over, each contest being hard fought and well worth each fan's time. With a blaze of enthusiasm that glowed in every corner of the gym, the Comets flashed their colors in the first game of the season, defeating the Avilla Panthers 26 to 10. Then after losing a quintet boxing match to La- Grange, they slumped into a series of defeats. The boys just didn't click, that's alll But when they did Click they really took the Butler Windmills round and round to a grand finis of 35 to 23. From then on the Comets played exceptionally good basketball losing a triple overtime to Riley of South Bend and defeating Columbia City by a matter of a few seconds when Brunson made a beautiful shot from the circle ending the game 34 to 33. The South Side Archers forgot their lucky arrows when they came to K'ville. With the game practically in the bag for the Summit City five, Brunson made another sensational shot just as the gun cracked to nose out the Archers by a 25 to 24 score. Next in turn came our dear old rivals, the Red Devils who had defeated us once early in the season. Naturally the game resulted in a rough and tumble affair, and soon forced Rupp and Gunsaullus to leave the game on personals which proved the downfall of the Comets. Score 31 to 24. Page 52 'f'l'n'f7T5f'ift7e: ' 7! '53':3i55Q! E9Wf'5 After slipping over sixty miles of ice the boys next found themselves ob- ligated to the hospitality of the Hartford City Airdales and could not find it in their hearts to defeat the - so they lost 38 to 24. Swish! Swish! Swish! Boy! What a wallopin' Central Catholis got! Brunson scored 14 points in the first half. Well-the game ended 40-19. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT The Comets had easy pickin's the first game in drawing Shipshewana. As usual these boys showed themselves sportsmen in the truest sense of the word and put up a hard fight, but were unable to stop those one handed pivot shots of the mighty Rupp and Bushong's follow-in shots. The game ended 38-23. Albion, who had defeated Wolcottville in a previous game, was our next match of the tournament. During the first-half the Comets were held to a low advantage but the consistent shooting of the Comets soon placed them far into the lead which they retained the remainder of the game. Ligonier, who had defeated us once during the season and who had shown exceptionally good playing so far in the tournament was K'ville's only obstacle, but what an obstacle! The first half was nip and tuck, end- ing 12 to 11 in favor of the Red Raiders but the second-half saw them take a fast-breaking offensive and walk away with the honors, ending the game 34 to 19. Brunson, Misselhorn, Bushong, Morr, Rupp, Taylor, Gunsaullus, Long- year, Herendeen and Lehner were awarded K's in basketball. K. H. S. bids farewell to Brunson, Rupp, Gunsaullus and Lehner and wishes them a very successful career. STATISTICS K. H. S. 26 Avilla 10 K. H. S. 14 LaGrange 26 K. H. S. 19 Angola 24 K. H.

BASKETBALL-METEORS-'35-'36 The Meteors of '35 and '36, boys of little experience, were composed of only Freshmen and Sophornores, but showed signs of coming ball players. Although they garnered but few Wins, their losses were covered by the suc- cess of experience for a future ball team. Some of their outstanding games vlfere played against LaGrange, Riley of South Bend, Central Catholic, Garrett and Rome City. These gave evi- dence that they had the material and zip all of which go to make a ball team. Most of the losses of the season were not because the team was given less attention by the coaches, but because the competitive teams were com- posed rnore of Iuniors and Seniors. When Coach Ivey called for spring basketball, he received a fine re- sponse and soon had a team, which was composed of many of these Meteors, strong enough to defeat the first string 38 to 28.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS RUTH CARROLL Where is Miss Carroll? Why, she is in the gym playing with the girls, comes the answer. And sure enough that is where to find her every night after school. Faithfully, lovingly, and with a fine spirit of comradeship, Miss Carroll gives herself to the High School girls. The tine physical training and the wholesome spirit ot sportsmanship created are not more important than the definite and vital influence ot a character genuinely good and kind and eager to serve. Oh, yes, she does scold us once in a while, but we need it because we do get rowdy at times. But all in all, day in and day out, she is a great pal to all of us. Miss Carroll ARCHERY CLUB Whiz-F-fplunkl Yes, girls, it's a new sport added this year. A sport which is going to be more popular next year. The girls play out at the golf links when the weather is suitable. An indoor range has been installed so we can play inside. The girls took a trip to Coldwater, Michigan, to the Archery factoryg had a most interesting and enjoyable time. The Archery Club divided into two groups with Margaret Hohnhaus and Rose Walsh captains. The losing team entertained the winning team.

Not interested? Say, did you know that several new sports have been added since last year? There are ping pong, archery, shuffle board, tap dancing, tumbling and ball room dancing. Surely you can afford one night each week to play! lust think of all the new girls you'd get acquainted with! The Athletic Department is just one big happy family, with Miss Carroll as the mother, and we love to have new members. The bigger the family the more fun we have. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION What a treatl The Burris High School at Muncie invited us down for play day in May. Fifteen schools were represented. New Girls! New Games! A day not to be missed.

Page 57 BASEBALL Who are the champs from last year? Why, the Seniors of course. They had a tough time, but finally won out. I wonder who it will be next year. Come on girls, let's see if you can hit the ball like some of these girls can, they certainly can send that old ball flying through the air, but they're getting good at catching it, too. PING PONG AND SHUFF LE BOARD Something new! The first time these tournaments have ever been held. After much batting of the ball around Marie Hontz is ping pong champion over Clemathene Hart. Shuffle board is a game that is played on many ships. Although it is not an outstanding sport, a few girls participate in this sport. The tourney was Won by Beverly Seidel and Patty Wible who defeated Mary Ellen Hinkley and Rose Walsh in the semi-finals. In the finals Becky Seidel and Pat Wible defeated Iune Mullen and Tootie Hart. BASKETBALL Well, well, well, so the Sophomores have the honor of being basketball champs. The Seniors beat them in the first game of the Round Robin Tourna- ment, but the Sophomores turned the tables and beat the seniors in the final. Good luck to you next year, Sophomores.

A. has been functioning for lO ye-ars during fall and spring seasons. Starting each season with short hikes and increasing to hikes of 6 or 7 miles the girls have an average of 8 hikes. Besides teaching the essentials of hiking as a healthful and pleas- ant means of recreation, the club makes some study of nature, camp craft and first aid. Points earned by hiking are counted toward awards of the Girls' Athletic Association. Aside from its nature as a form of athletics we feel that hiking gives the girls a better chance to know and enjoy the great out-of-doors. Miss Miriam Zimmerman has been the faculty sponsor of this group dur- ing the past three years. The girls have enjoyed her leadership and do appreciate the time she has given to this activity.

Page 59 THE HUMOR-DOOR Mr. Brumbaugh, looking out of the win- dow, said- Oh, look at that dray horsel Olive Kimmel, beside him- That isn't grey, it's black, and quit the baby talk! I I I Wyndham Brown pulls through with- She was only a fireman's daughter but she would hook you if you ladder. O I O The stage attraction, 'Three men on a horse', exclaimed Miss Robertson, reminds one of a Scotchman's polo team. I O I Miss Goodwin, during a discussion of current events asked, Who was the last person to box Iohn L. Sullivan? The long haired boy in the back seat, Elmer Zollman, yelled, The Undertaker. O O I Mr. Brumbaugh was successful because he came out on top. I C O Miss Stephens has turned philosopher by remarking that a lawyer's assets is his lie- ability. O I O Now, Ioe Deal, said Mr. Dixon in Economics, where is the elephant found? Ioe-- The elephant is such a big ani- mal that it is hardly ever lostl O I I Teacher-When was the revival of learning? Pupil-Iust before exams. I O I Miss Goodwin while traveling across seas might tell this one. The story goes that two Liverpool butchers were competitors. Sau- sages, one shilling the pound, was the an- nouncement in the window of the first shop. Sausages, ten pence the pound, was over the door of the other shop the next day. Sausages under one shilling cannot be guaranteed, was the comeback of shop number one. We furnish sausages for the king, was the next announcement of shop number two. Shop number one, not to be outclassed and to settle the argument put up the follow- ing sign the next morning: God save the Kingl O O O Cattle buyer to Mr. Schwab, Has this animal any good points about her? Mr. Schwab, Sure, you could hang your hat on her most anywhere. O O O First Student--I got 90 in my French exam. Second Student-Honestly? First Student-Well, not entirely. Sure Mary Lea Vetter has a motto, Early to bed and early to Rice. O O I Time for Ioke Editor's note: These jokes should be called tissue paper because they are so terrible! O I O Miss Sherman, l'll give you just one day to hand in that paper. Iune Mullen, OK, how about the Fourth of Iuly? C C O Robertson- Bob, who was Addison? Bob- The fellow who invented the elec- tric lights. O C O Henry Saller- Say, have you forgotten that you owe me fifty cents? Norman Carter- No, not yet, give me time. O O O Two fellows, not altogether sober, were driving home late at night. Says Bill- Look out, Henry, or you will run us in the ditchl Says Henry- Me? Good gosh, I thought you were driving! I O I Says Everest- See that girl, hasn't she a frigid air? Retorts David- She should have, she's an iceman's daughter. O O I First lnebriate-Lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine. Second Ditto-What, your lips? First-No, my liquor. I O O Miss Robertson's favorite saying is, I wish you would make up your mind, it's a cinch the good Lord didn'tl I O I Can you remember fifty years from now when: l-Ed. Stoeckley wanted overstuffed ear- muffs? 2-Don Gunsaullus wanted to join up with congressmen and be a stand-Patter? 3-Elmer Zollman looked like an Indian with his red face and crocked hair-cut? 4-Everest Wible said, lt's just an old shoe but it has a sole? 5-Mae Stephens had broken her glasses and couldn't see why Wallace Schultz got such low grades? 6-George Homsher got on a chair to kiss Mary Anna Forker good night?
