In this volume we submit to you the product of nr work. We in apologies, for into it we have put our best efforts. It is r object to set a standard or to throw down a challenge t. succeeding classes.

On September 20 school was started in the new building as planned, although many of the departments were nut fully equipped. These departments were soon brought up to standard and the work went forward without further interruption. The formal dedication came in December. Dr. George R. Grose, of DePauw University, making the address of the evening. The first game was played in the gymnasium on January 7. Since then the team defeated every opponent on the home floor, and won the district tournament, forming a record of which we are all justly proud. On January 18 the music department gave a musical comedy, The Windmills of Holland, under the direction of Mr. Eckert. The senior class gave their class play on February 10. The play, Polly ' s Magic, was a distinct success. This year can be looked back upon by all seniors as one full of pleasure and profit.

Class of nineteen sixteen ■S 5ARGA550 •SARGASSO Class of nineteen sixteen Class of nineteen sixteen 5f OA[ 0A5t5O SENIORS 1916 .5ARGA550 Class of nineteen sixteen LEONARD APPLETOX— Apple is just as indus- trious as he looks, and is a fitting model to head the senior list. He never has quite outgrown his freshman shyness, and as for girls — we ' d faint if we saw him talking to one. But he can attend to his own business — mav his tribe increase. XOEL BAUER — Xoel is easily recognized by his suave manner and extremely sleek pompadour. He recites with an air of calm resignation, especially in German. (He is one of the two boys in the class.) The young gentleman has never been known to have a fondness for the weaker sex, but there ' s plenty of time yet. MYRLE BAIR — Myrle came to our midst a stranger, but she can hold her own with the native- born senior beauties. She seems to be mighty pop- ular with every one, boys, too. (Xo names men- tioned.) She is a star member of Miss Roberts ' English grammar class. GINEVRA BARXGROYER — Ginevra is best known as Vernice ' s accomplice. They can truth- fully be called the inseparable compound, as our green-backed grammar doth term it. Ginevra has a remarkable dislike for work which causes us to wonder how she manages to get on the honor list. YERX1CE BAYNE — When any information, from a forecast of the weather to the latest fashion hint is wanted, Yernice is right there. She is one of the famous South Side bunch who have mustered up enough credits to graduate. She has a sunny smile which never fails to win friends for her. Class of nineteen sixteen •5A£GA550 MADGE BECRAFT— Madge is plump and so com- fortable-looking. She displays great skill in dress- ing her abundant blonde locks. Madge distin- guished herself and surprised her enemies by get- ting K in Knglish the first six weeks, and it has stimulated her to greater effort. Her only fault is that she uses Melba powder. CHARLES BEECHINC— Tod is big enough to lick anybody in school. Luckily he hasn ' t the ambition to do it. He is always to be found in the halls surrounded by a bunch of smiling fe- males. His one worry is that he can never find any pumps dainty enough to suit his fastidious taste. Oh, yes, and he likes anything good to eat. RUTH BITTERS— We was a little girl she wa of Little Eva in Lncle that ng pt abin. ihcn Ruth bonification She has an innocent air and a captivating lisp most unusual nowadays. Ruth ' s complexion is the em the other girl — and it will not rub off either. CEDRIC BOGUE — Bogie was so ambitious to make his way in the world that he left us in Jan- uary and started in to accomplish his desire. He has always been a boy of creat judgment and common sense; he even took a year or so of Latin. We predict be will be the advance agent of a big moi ie concern. FRANK BRl l ' Frank is our tall broad-shouldered Suede, who is noted for his athletic inclinati i - Frank ' s chief diversion i throwing paper-wads in the assembly when he isn ' t studying. Hi hard feelings toward the faculty, it maj for he has never been known to turn his loose on them. 5A£GA550 Class of nineteen sixteen MARY BRUNER— Did you ever see a light-haired girl with Yianna? That ' s Mary. Her histrionic ability is undisputed, as she was not only a charm- ing Dutch girl, but was later a stunning society lady as well. She is one of Mr. Bennett ' s right hand crew and is an all-around good girl. GERALDINE BURNS— Jerry left our happy community last fall, to try her hand in the com- mercial world, but has returned now. She dis- tinguished herself as a leader, when she managed her class last year. She was one of Prof. Har- rell ' s prize botanical students. (?) KARLENE CAIN — Karlene has been famous ever since the first day she was in high school and Mr. Haworth called her Car-line Cain! She is not only a heart-breaker, but makes excellent fudge. She is as bright as Venus, but any one who has ever been in her classes knows she doesn ' t like to be contradicted. EDMUND CRITCHLOW— Ed is the most typi- cal boy in our class. He is the best-hearted chap you ever saw and is plum full of fun. He brought down the house on a class-play tryout day by reciting a Shakespearian sonnet whose meaning was too deep to grasp. Ed ' s main requirements for a wife are that she be pretty, and be able to make good candy. LULU CAMPBELL— Lulu is one whom we have loved and lost, but only for the present. Her mod- esty, her genial good humor, her love of fair play, and appreciation of higher culture were the chief reasons for her many friendships. There is no one who will ever take her place among us. Class of nineteen sixteen •5A£GA550 VIRGINIA CASHMAN— This young lady is a blonde, one of the tall and willowy type. She is an ardent admirer of sour pickles and full skirts, which makes us believe the saying Food and clothes make the person. Virginia always gets an K in every subject. She is no bluff, for she always knows which side of the page the lesson is on, whether she can answer the question or not. (Strange, isn ' t it?) ROBERT CHANCELLOR— Robert entered our midst just this last year. He has distinguished himself as a member of the high school orchestra His dignified and pompous manner is used to in- timidate freshmen and cause them to feel that he is one of the faculty. His chief hobby is studying and blowing his horn. ARL1NE CHARLES — Arline is another of our re- nowned class and the Art Editor of this Annual Her modest manners and retiring disposition have won her many friends, and although she was un- able, because of illness, to finish her work this year, we are unwilling to let any other class claim her among their number. ELVA C( LE— Elbert ' s sin twister. She has the round pleasant face and blue eyes, typical of a rural lassie. She had the silence habit on all topics discussed land what is so rare as a silent woman? ' ). And she is no longer rare, but discusses volubly. Elva has no enemies that we know of anil we predict that she will make an ideal button sewer tor some otic, in fact we are sure of it. for she is an E student in sewing and tatting. ELBERT COLE— Is that tall twin-brother that scurries wildly down the halls as if he really had something important to attend to. In spite of the fact that he hails from the country he has suc- ceeded well, even though he ' s a twin, and we hope his prospects arc not as dark as his name, but unite as rich in calories •S .5ARGA550 Class of nineteen sixteen IRENE COLEMAN— Irene Coleman is the sole possessor of the Coleman giggle. She is best known probably as Karlene ' s chum, it ' s a rare thing to see one without the other. Irene has chewed enough gum during her high school career to plaster the building. She is one of the for- tunate mortals who prefer the society of him to solitary meditation. NELLIE COYALT— One of the many and illus- trious Covalts that graduate every year or so. Nellie is a thorough student and has the respect of the faculty, even though a senior. She is a gifted member of the senior German class, and as- sisted materially in the class-play. We can truly point the finger of pride to Our Darling Nellie C. THOMAS CALHOUN — Tom is extremely lengthy, and has eyes like a ferret. Mr. Bennett has used more pounds of energy trying to make Tom quit talking so much in civics class, than he has in playing basketball. We know Tom will evolve into the keeper of a deaf-and-dumb insti- tute. MARIE DANDOY— Marie is an Americanized daughter of France, and a useful member of the high school orchestra. She can read German like a Deutscher, and we always have her tell us how- to pronounce the French words in the lesson. She has just recently bound up her golden tresses, probably more befitting a senior — hence her dignity. ARLINE DAUGHERTY— Arline is the kindest- hearted girl you ever saw. She would pawn her best fellow ' s frat pin to buy something for a tramp to eat. She is quite proficient in the art of tickling typewriter keys. She likes the atmosphere so well that she even eats her dinner in Room 301. We predict that she ' ll take a blue ribbon as a stenographer. Class of nineteen sixteen S .5ARGA550 RUTH DAVIES— Here is one of the group who has drifted from the primary class to senior fame. Her rendition of Deutsch is so startingly wonder- ful that we know she will be a school niann like Miss Henby. Ruth is very studious and richly de- serves the l- ' . ' s she receives. MARY ELLIS — Another of our demure and quiet maids of the Priscilla type. Mary sits around in a dark red sweater and works and works and then works. There is no nonsense to her. She is one of Mr. Coughlan ' s right-hand dependable girls. Mary will make an ideal school teacher. OSCAR FARMER— Oscar is not just exactly what his name implies, yet he risks his life on an inter- urban every clay just to gel here to corrall some knowledge. He has become quite skillful in some lines, among them being German and highei algebra. Oscar has not been known to stay the eighth period to converse with a certain fair senior, excepting which be is cntirch normal. YIANNA FELSKE — From her name you would think that Yianna is ;i Russian dancer, but you ' re mistaken. Take a look at her hair. Yianna claims that the cause of her good nature and numerous smiles is that she wears her watch so the hands can tickle her. Her specialty is noiseless ing inl.i the assembly at 8:J U a. m. and 12 and then is when she looks her prettiest and most composed. HAROLD FREELAND— T nuch can r said about ' Treacher His immeasurable altitude has produced him much glory, without mentioning ill his various pursuits, namely: Arranging tra music, studying Cicero, making - man} others. He w;is one of the chief masculine agitators of the mirror for Room 300. He is sure an all-around good fellow. •5ARGA550 Class of nineteen sixteen CECIL GOYER— Cecil is a genuine Rube, but he thinks nobody knows it. Yet we ' re not knocking you, Cecil, all great brains came from the coun- try. Whenever there is a class social or a hay ride and eats, Cecil comes. G. H., says Cecil, is one of the nicest boys in school, and if she says so, we ' ll take her word for it. KATHALEEN GRAHAM— Pick is our most no- torious character and is a stranger to the faculty. She is a model of exquisite fashion, always has the latest in dress and head gear. Even though she never gets her lessons, no one can have the blues while in her company. Her hobbies are rag- time and chiffon waists. MILDRED GREESON— Claudia Rip is a terror but beware her temper when it gets to the boil- ing point! In spite of sitting with Ham Hansell in the assembly, her general behavior is good. Mildred is right there on the domestic questions and her candy can ' t be beat. Her pastime is de- voted to piano playing and riding rambunctious horses. MAUDE HAAS— Damon and Pythias or Maud and Mildred H. are commonly seen together. Even those two famous characters could not have been better friends. Maud eats languages alive and swallows music whole. She was one of the main agitators of the mirror for Room 300, and had it hung so she could see her feet. Her worst fault is day-dreaming. HARRIET HALE— Did anybody ever see Harriet without a smile on her face? Perhaps the only time she wasn ' t smiling was when in the class play. She was petulantly begging her husband for money with which to buy absolute necessi- ties. She is one of that renowned East Side bunch, whose members are all so beautiful and popular. Thirty Class of nineteen sixteen •SARGASSO ENNIS HANCOCK— Ennis has finally receive. I enough credits to graduate, after many extra years of toiling. He delights in pulling a certain girl ' s curls, for which courtesy many a pencil and book has been broken over his pate. He has a very innocent expression, but Shakespeare says, It is hard to find the mind ' s construction in the face. FERNE HANNAH— J. Fern is one of our daz- zlingly brilliant students who has never been know to get anything lower than E (what an experience she lost.) She is admired by faculty and students alike. She appears to have a serene disposition, hut we have known her to become wrathful. Feme can rattle off Latin like a talking machine, and she knows what it means, too, JULIA HAWKINS— Here is one of the stars of the commercial constellation. She can typewrite faster than an electric piano can play. Julia i- a small individual, but she make- herself know n b her quick wit and ready answer-. She is an K student and loves her teachers devotedly. Oh, yes. and some other things, too! GLADYS HEATON— Gladys i- a merry-hearted girl, one ol those extraordinary creatures v. ' : manage to get an K in every subject and attend all the basketball came-, too. She has through high school handicapped b) the fact that many pupil- and most of the faculty thought that she wa- Mildred ' - sister. She rose nevertheless from this depressing condition and now is learning to typewrite. Her pet hobby is the Sipe. MILDRED HF.ATc  N— Mildred is the author of all the senior biographies except this one. We would consider this enough honor lor any one. but nay. not -o. She must needs be the star of a Latin class, and head the list of those who would con- sider an E as a disc •SARGASSO Class of nineteen sixteen NELLIE HOBSON— Nellie would make a pretty good imitation of Sella. She has that calm im- perturable look, don ' t — yha — know. Nellie ' s chief asset is her hair, which is both abundant and beau- tiful. She is a mathematical genius, so if you ' ve never seen one, here is your chance — look at her. Nellie ' s chief occupation for the past two months has been pestering Ye Lit. Ed. to let her read her own biography. Here it is — fall to. MARY HODGIN — One of the most democratic in- dividuals we ever saw is Mary. She left us in January and deeded her locker to Julia Hawkins. Having a regular steady she has paid no atten- tion whatever to the masculine beings that throng the halls. Mary ' s middle name is Independence and the freshmen will remember her as a recog- nized leader and participant in all school affairs. MILDRED HOLLINGSWORTH— Mildred is a rather meek and silent little creature. In spite of her primness she is quite jolly. Mildred hails from Windfall, and that is saying the best and worst of her. If she looks a little pale at graduation time we will know that it is because she has just fin- ished plowing through Wilhelm Tell. ALLAN HUNTER— Allan is a guard in the high school basketball team and does his part in bring- ing home our record-breaking victories. He is something of a lady fusser and has quite a time deciding which girl he should sit with in the assembly, for owing to his extreme popularity, he has a number of highest bidders. MARY HUNTER— Mary is a very shy, demure maiden. She is too modest to appear often in so- ciety except with her noted senior brother. She is studious and lovable and her sincerity has won her many friends. Class of nineteen sixteen •SARGASSO RUTH HUTCHCROFT— Ruth is slim and studious, her friendships are faithful and genuine. She is one of the most consistent workers on the list, and she makes no fuss about getting her lessons, either. She is one of Mr. Coughlan ' s choice key- ticklers and is a great aid in his department. DE ARMOND HUTSON— Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look. Only his name doesn ' t happen to he Cassius. De Armond is blessed with a French name and American energy. He is the most perfect specimen ever seen in an assembly, never having been known to take his eves from his books. He will surely turn out to be a poet, or he might let his hair grow long and be mistaken for a musical genius, but a success he must be. EDITH JACKSON— Edith is Prof. Coughlan ' s chief assistant in calling the roll each morning and noon. She is a hard and consistent worker and has made for herself the name of a clever girl. All together she is a worthy model tor some freshmen to imitate. She adores basketball games and green HELEN JETER— Helen is a whole-souled little maid from Russiaville. She fishes continually for E ' s with ease, and lines up a string on her card every time. Her main source of glory is the fact that she ' s Mike Harrell ' s sister-in-law. She ha acquired a happy and self-satisfied air, from the atmosphere of Room 300. MAUD KEESLING — Maud is that quiet girl with violel grej eyes She keeps out of the vulgar glare of the limelight, ami contents herself wit!, measuring up to the standard set by the teachers. She surely is able to attack anything and do it. •5ARGA550 Class of nineteen sixteen KATHRYN KEL IE — Katy has been one of our most enterprising young girls during her course in school. She starts out her recitations with Why, I think — (no intimations as to whether she does or not) cast. However, we suggest that she form a company to play the Slim Princess, and choose herself for the leading role. MARY KEI ' NER — Mary is one of our most viva- cious girls, and has curly black hair. She has the type of good looks which seems to appeal to bas- ketball boys. Mary is a boon companion of Max- ine Knotts, and when those two are around things are lively. Mary is a loyal supporter of all high school function. VIRGINIA KIGHTLINGER— Virginia is a discreet young lady, who has almost gained the reputation of being dignified. But she splashed along creek banks looking for buttercups just as any of us did when we took botany. She has been granted the honor of putting up in the halls the names of the absentees. She is an expert in the commercial line and noon-day rambles. IVA KIMBLE — Iva has so much hair that she hardly knows what to do with it. She is no rela- tion to the Kimball Piano Company, although she is no doubt musical, being a violinist in the orches- tra. Her main fault is that she has been known to stay occasionally the eighth period to study. MAXINE KNOTTS— Maxine is the jolliest girl in high school. The fun just bubbles out of her. The first of this term she awed everyone in her civics class to silence, by reciting fluently on every topic that Mr. Bennett suggested. Maxine tried to calm down her bubbling spirits by undergoing a year of chemistry, but long life to her bubbles. Class of nineteen sixteen SARGASSO RAY LANTZ — Red is comical, popular, and hand- some as Hanson. He ' s never got over the time that some timid little freshman girl asked him why he was wearing a false face to school. He dared to hrave the terrors of the auditorium stage to lead us in some yells; and we admire his cour- age yet. His hobby is to keep the class roaring. And last, but not least, he is captain of the track team PAUL LAYMON— Paul is a mild individual, the only time he ever has wrathful feelings is when some one says he looks like a girl. He demon- strated his vocal ability in the Windmills of Hol- land, and was one of the chosen few in the senior-facultv basketball game. He is always loyal to K. H. S., ' 16. CECILE LONG — Cecile is somewhat like her name, and when in full motion is not unlike a certain bird useful to milliners. She is a good and con- sistent worker and is a delight to the soul of Mr. Coughlan; it being reported that she ha u. rr. dents in the typewriter keys. Cecile ' s main hobby is t ■ lose her handkerchiefs at frequent intervals. WINIFRED MAHER— Winnie reminds one of the dear little girl in that old Irish song by the same name. Winifred has improved her time by learning to sew and wears a dress that she made herself. She has a calm assurance which she dons in civics class especially, so that Mr. Bennett will not ask her any questions HOBART MARTIN — If there ever was a clown in high school it is Hobart. His middle name ought t be Abe. He can imitate anybody or anything he ever saw Hobart doubtless thinks the main cause of his popularity with the girls is his good looks, but after reading this edifying report, he ' ll know better He is an illustrious member of the orchestra, and he powders industriousl-. each performance thereof. ■SARGASSO Class of nineteen sixteen JULIA McGAW — Another of the famous McGaws is about to leave us. There are some boys in this high school who will never recover from the smiles that Julia gave them once. She has an in- dependence that is quite a refreshing change from the clinging vine type. Julia is an expert in debating and an authority on Hamlet! NAOMI McINTURF— Naomi is noted for the fact that she does not like to write themes, and she is taking English grammar to avoid them. Naomi is a good, sensible girl (not altogether on account of the above) and sh- : s just the sort that will make a reliable wife. But as yet Naomi has not informed us of anv such intentions. RAYMOND McNEAL — Doc is a valued member of the high school orchestra and the calendar editor of this notable volume. He is a loyal at- tendant of all class meetings, and although he has little to say, his presence is an inspiration. He is famous for his stylish appearance and his desire to become a second Mischa Elman. WILLIAM McKORKLh— It would be hard to find a more bashful fellow than William. He once went across the street to avoid speaking to a girl. But now! We are glad though that he outgrew this handicap. He is seldom tardy, but his time of entrance is about 8:29i , a. m. GEORGE McREYNOLDS— Behold Cicero II! By his terrifically powerful voice he holds his aud- iences spell-bound. Chesty is a great debater and has represented our school more than once. He it is that grafted the purple in our class colors for which act — but then we ' ll let it drop. How he loves ham sandwiches! Class of nineteen sixteen •5ARGA550 ELSIE MILLER— Our small but mighty basket-ball star of the first magnitude is far famed, not only for her fair features, but also for her evident good nature and versatility. As Hortense, in the Class Play, she walked off with the red roses. RUTH MOON — Curly is our most noted and ac- complished violinist. When she begins to play she makes Kubelik look like a one-man German band. It seems as if Curly has gone through school with the idea that if she did not get E plus in a subject she was flunking. Our wishes are that her life may be as harmonious as her music. DOUGLAS MOORE— If Dug wore a YanDyke and smoked perfumed cigarettes, he might pass for an Italian count. But fortunately, he is not one. He is the chief agitator of the senior class. and is the Sargasso editor. The only thing about Dug that is mall is his stature. Kt ISC ' E M( HIRE— The name of Moore is an illus- trious one. Boscoe is an all-around sport. He can manage the senior class, and he can help us win the district tournament. And he surely played his part well in the class play ,i he had the gen- uine just-swallowed-a-poker effect of a real butler Although Boscoe i quiet, he i not nearlj • as he looks, and will be heard from later, we are sure. BERNARD MORGAN— Bernard is blessed with freckles and blushes. We say blessed because in this day of masculine powder puffs and rouge sticks it i delightful to rind a real boy. Bernard would have gotten better grades if he had the nerve to make the faculty realize how much he did know. SARGASSO Class of nineteen sixteen SCOTT MYGRANT— There will be copious tears shed when Scotty makes his departure. Scotty ' s blushes are like sunset on a snow bank, mostly sunset. We feel that he has been some- what slighted and sadly neglected and that all of his power has not been brought by his high school career. WINIFRED NIELANDER— Winifred moves along as slowly as if she were in the eighteenth century. We believe the old days of calm and leisure would be more fitting to her, anyway she is quite modest, but you ought to see that coquettish curl on the back of her neck. Winifred has never been known to get excited. We recommend a basketball game. She has a fine appreciation of nature ' s beauty. FRANCES PIERCY— Frances is Ruth Moon ' s tried and trusted chum. She is all that a high school girl should be and is always on the inside of any stunts that the seniors arrange. Although she is a regular patron of the dope fountain, she is nevertheless famous for her to go or not to go which Shakespeare himself would envy. ETHEL PHELPS— Ethel is one of our best ex- amples of blonde beauty. She has the most lan- guishing blue eyes and is somewhat of a heart- breaker. Her main fault is that she chews gum and has a big brother. She is getting out of high school in three and one-half years to avoid German. ZUMA PROSS— Zuma ' s middle name is Activity. She is always on the go. Although she possesses an East African name, she asserted that she is an American, and she surely is. Zuma is not at all swelled up on account of being Mr. Haworth ' s typewriter girl and speaks to all of us just the same. She loves to write chemistry notebooks. Class of nineteen sixteen •5A£GA550 BUDA RAVENSCROFT— Buda has the most ro- mantic name in school. It might belong to a lady shut up in a castle of England or something like that. Buda is very calm and is almost as dignified in the guise of a lamb. She looks mild enough. as Miss Henby. She is a loyal attendant of all class meetings. Her hobby is writing letters (?). IRENE RAYER— Here is the girl that makes things go in the senior class. No matter what any one wants to know, they go to Renie. She is undoubtedly one of our best and brightest stu- dents and is the most obliging mortal we ever saw. Her hobbies are too multitudinous to be enumer- ated. CLEA REAGAN — This justly-celebrated young actor-student, and cadet is another of our already famous class. Clea is known far and near for his good grades, good nature, and good looks. Dur- ing the first semester he was remarkable for his ability to do without sleep — or was he just walk- ing in his sleep? He left the second - and we trust that he regained said lost sleep and will be his genial self again on June 1. CALVIN REED— Cal is the tallest bunch oi mas- culine flesh in the class, except Preacher Free- land. Calvin has hung ti faithfully through thick and thin and will doubtless leave a sigh oi regret when he has to leave in June. Cat ' s good looks are a source of envy and when he laughs he quite resembles one of the equine family. FLORENCE REEDER— Here ' s another brilliant damsel who is making it in three and one-half years. Florence has the most light hair we ever glimpsed, and if one may judge by the present mode of structure, she will blossom into a hair- dresser. She can sing and play, and was one of the famous Windmill girls. •SARGASSO Class of nineteen sixteen GEORGE ROSENHEIMER— Lepidus is a small personage, but a strong and mighty member of the senior class. George has distinguished himself in Latin and German and other light subjects. He is a little shy, but he has a spirit of energy and in- dependence which assures for him a successful future. ALICE ROSENTHAI Alice ' s musical name is Al- legretto, because she can romp all over the piano without taking her feet off the floor. She is our most accomplished pianist and will some day be a prima donna, we are sure. She and Arline Charles when together look like the Dark and the Fair Princess. OLENA ROSS — Olena always reminded us a little of Maud Muller. There is an air of rustic charm about her. She learned early in life to preserve a discreet silence when she did not know anything about the topic discussed and the habit sticks. Olena is going to establish a home for indigent dogs and cats when she reaches a ripe age. GEORGE SELLERS — George is so quiet and un- assuming that most of us did not know he was a senior, but he is and his diploma will be as big as anybody ' s. His sometimes downcast expression is due to the fact that he sits in Room 212. George is an advocate of the theory that hard work dis- courages love affairs. WILLIAM SHIMER— Bill is one of the state-re- nowned basketball quintet of which we are so proud. Some girls think it is a pity that Bill has not bestowed more languishing glances from those pretty big eyes, but he knows if he started that, he ' d be too popular, by far. He is one of our best specimens of manhood and we predict a bright future. Class of nineteen sixteen 5?«5ARGA550 LELA SHROCK— Here is a little girl that reminds us of Germany itself. She is short and plump and bright. It ' s needless to say that she always re- cites well in German and ever takes delight in preparing the lesson. She is a firm believer in women ' s votes. GLADYS SPRAKEK— Gladys is a very quiet and dignified young lady, one who is to be seen and not heard. She is one of Miss Martz ' s able senior students. Although you would hardly know she is around, yet when there is anything to be done Gladys is right there with the goods, and ever will be. HELEN SPANGLER— Helen is a senior and a graduate, even if she didn ' t get her name in the paper with the senior list. Helen has a pair of dreamy eyes and a musical temperament. In grad- uating, she will joyfully dedicate her German books to the creek and her place in the music n ' in to some freshman. THELMA STANSBURY— If Thelma were a blond she would admirably illustrate the Fringe ' ' , Gen- tian, with its blue eye. etc. Thelma a? she is l k- mere like a doll than any one whom we ' ve seen lately. She is cutest when she smiles, which happens at quite frequent intervals. And her curls are natural, too. M EGA TATE — Without doubt. Meca is one of our most versatile girls. She can paint, play and sing quite well and is a humdinger on the social line. loo Although she i a little over-proud of her ancestors, yet she gets by with it. and, considering that every generation gets worse, lur ancestors must have been some people. Meca is the ring- leader oi the South Side bunch. •SARGASSO Class of nineteen sixteen MABEL THATCHER— Our little society editor is as dainty a personage as we have seen lately. Everybody knows how fond she is of a certain smiling lady of the faculty, and who can blame her? Mabel can dance like a seraph, but she ' s not very keen for athletics. She will likely be a travel- ing suffragette or maybe assist in a kindergarten school. MARY THOMAS— Mary C. is the most vocifer- ous member of this magnificent class. What she thinks she says, if she wants to, without fear of any one. She was never known to miss a basket- ball game or a class meeting. In the latter she sits on the front seat or sometimes stands on it, and pounds with her umbrella for order. Mary ' s all right, but there ' s one thing sure, she wasn ' t designed for a hermitess. ELLIOTT TREES— Of all the trees in all the woods Elliott ' s always there with the goods. If wideness between the eyes is any test Elliott has a model 8 brain. We trust that he is an up- right chap, even if he did try to swipe a second dish of ice cream at the Senior Spread. Elliott likes to have things explained thoroughly; ask Miss Roberts or some one in his English class. ETHELYN TUCKER— Ethelyn is a rosy-cheeked rural maid. She is well used to the ways of city and country alike and it is rumored that she eats with one hand and gathers egg-plants with the other. She claims that she is no relation to little Tommy Tucker. Despite the fact that Ethelyn writes poetry, she is well liked. RUTH TURLEY— All honors for height do not go to our male members. Ruth Delight holds honors for the gentler sex. Her chief adornment is her natural curls. She is a regular attendant at class meetings. Her clear, well developed voice is easily heard. Her many sterling qualities justify our be- lief in her successes in the future. Class of nineteen sixteen T5.5AP0A55O f SAM VAN SICKLE— At first we thought that we ' d ditto John ' s biography for Sam, but on second thought we decided to write him up separately, to let the world know that we can tell them apart. Sam is a little larger and a trifle shyer than John. He is a Chemistry fiend, and dearly loves English grammar. JOHN VAN SICKLE— Here is the other one of the famous Van Sickle twins. Although you would not believe it, John has a layde of his herte, for he follows her around as Boswell did Johnson. He has little to say, but that is unusually 0. K We know John won ' t blush when we say Of all our parts the eyes express The sweetest kind of bashfulness! EDNA VORE — Vore is a real-for-sure shark. She has gracefully gotten out of more scraps than we can count on our fingers. Edna stands in good with the faculty — just ask any of them. She looks most natural when she is chewing gum and sur- rounded by a throng of girls. ELIZABETH VEACH— Elizabeth has been trying faithfully to learn to make her own clothes. We have often seen her sewing away on some concoc- tion with a book propped up before her. She did this to create the impression that she was studious Elizabeth set the 11 Hour Civics class on fire by her debate on the New Proposed Constitution. l.l ' .LA WALKER — l.ela is one of a certain noted group of light-haired girls who congregate about various corners in the hall and keep one eye upon the teacher on guard If the hairs of our heads are all numbered, l.ela ' s number must be half-a- mile long. She i a basket ball enthusiast, and delights especially in recreation. •SARGASSO Class of nineteen sixteen GENEVIEVE WANSBOROUGH— Most of us did not know Genevieve was in our midst until the day of the Senior Class play try-out. Since then she is remembered as the girl who spoke that piece about the woman in the drug store. Genevieve is a brunette and as pretty as she is small. FAY WARE — Fay is a small Miss, but she sails around the halls with a good deal of importance. It must make a person feel important to take 6 or 7 subjects and not flunk. Fay ' s chief diet is music. She has not only warbled in chorus and labored in theory, but has completed a course in canned tunes. We are looking forward to her taking ad- vantage of Leap Year. CARL WEAVER — It is a source of endless wonder how Carl got credits enough to graduate. Cheer up, Freshmen, Carl did it, you can! He really possesses the ability if he were only wise enough to display it. To see Carl going down the hall one is reminded strongly of Irving ' s Immortal wielder of the birch and rule. MARY WEBB (The seventh Mary in the Senior list.) — Mary is tall, blonde, willowy. She has as sweet a disposition as you will find anywhere. Any hour of the day she can be seen bending in- dustriously over her typewriter or studying like sixty in the assembly. VERL WILEY— Verl looks like he had forgotten to go to bed the night before. He must have been born tired. We have never detected any unusually energetic indications about him, although he sometimes recites in German, if he understands the lesson. But there ' s one thing he can do, and that is play basket ball. Class of nineteen sixteen .5ARGA550 JUNIOR5 1917 .5ARGA550 Class of nineteen sixteen The History of the 1917 Class Th.- junior class have as their motto XL and for three years they have faithfully lived up to it in class as well as in athletics and society. Coupled with this desire for X Lense they have alwav had an insatiable longing for class individuality. This cropped out early in their freshman year. Their class officers for that year were: Emerson ( Red ) O. Butler, presi- dent; Ruth Coughlan, vice president, and Albert ( Boots ) O. Shu felt, treasurer. It was decided to make a first bow to society at the home of Edith Haynes, under the chaperonage of Miss Thornton. The upper-classmen considering freshies incapable of running this affair took complete charge of the house. Nor did they forget the cellar where cider, oranges and canned fruit reigned supreme. This one bitter experience cut the aforesaid freshies eye-tooth and (thanks to the upper-classmen) they have run their own affairs ever since. Individuality was the keynote of the sophomore year, all parties being exclusive 1917 affairs. There were many of these and the old Tabernacle rang with sophomore jollity. But they did not forget their class work. They bravely conquered history, Caesar and the novels, coming forth with flying colors and a long string of E ' s. Class 4 B Beatrice Anderson, Don Arbuckle, Carson Delon, Sydney Golightly, Ralph Hansell, Sybilla Hunt. Class 3A Fred Albright, Luther Albright, Ned Albright, Helen Avery, Jean Barkalow, Guy Barngrover, Wilber Beechy, Fred Bell, Neva Bourne, The class officers for the sophomore year were : Ruth Price, president ; Frances Dixon, vice president, and Bessie Rains, treasurer. Miss Dye was chaperon for both the sophomore and the junior years. If individuality characterized the sophomore year surely originality can be applied to us (if I may be pardoned for chang- ing from the third to the first person). As juniors Mr. Hinshaw did on February 11, with the grand, gorgeous, entertaining Junior turned over the social baptism of the gymnasium to us ; this we Gym Jam. On account of limited space the credit which it deserves can not be set down here. Once again the juniors will appear in society at which time they will bid adieu to their senior brothers and sisters at the junior-senior reception. At this writing these mysteries are yet unrevealed, but it can safely be said that it will not fall below the XL standard of the junior class. This year closes with our expectations of senior bliss upon tip- toe, for, though sorry to say goodby to our happy junior year, we are eager to taste of senior glory. Let us all hope for the best.

There were quite a number of us, and for this reason, as freshies, we were treated as most freshies are, which proves that there is more to a senior than his learned appearing countenance. They worked us for all we were worth and the mere fact that we nut- numbered them didn ' t help us a bit. We were freshmen until we became sophomores. And we were never permitted to talk above a whisper until we achieved the state of a sophomore. Then the seniors told us we might breathe, and we have been breathing ever since. Ours is the most intelligent class, so we think, that has ever entered K. II. S. The only reason the teachers don ' t tell us so to our faces, is the fear of making us vain. Our class record has been such an exceptional one that last year Air. Maple gave us a little talk commenting on it. The class of ' 18 has been called the noisiest class that ever entered high school. But what of that? An exceptional record will not balance alone. It is too rich. We found that a little noise was just the article to make the scales tip equally. Thus our noisy record. It takes nerve to be noisy and as philosophers say that it takes nerve to reach your goal successfully in the world, we may well be proud of this qualitv. And did you ever stop to think why our basketball team has won every game at home this season ? Accuracy and practice are only half the cause. It is simply because our class with its noise cheered them on to victory. And the girls ' yell-leader is also from our class. As to sociables and good times, we have had several and thev were all thoroughly enjoyed. With this well-earned past we look forward to a bright and happy future.

We ha 1 hop-d for many more such occasions, but immediately fol- 1 wing it was the sad fate of the class to be deprived of all their rights. Yet we ' re still looking for more fun. We greatly feared that our advisor, Miss Ruth Miller, was enamored of a dignifie 1 snior, and wdien seen with him at one c f the season ' s most sensational basketball games, she became the victim of mveh cheering in which the freshmen did their part.

By E. E. Schnewind. Fate had surely dealt Frederick Damn a stinging blow. And to strike a man when he had no recourse, no alternative but to accept the calamity was the vulnerable prick that caused Frederick to suffer so intensely. That ' s the way with Fate. She looks just and honest all right, all right, but I tell you she is a sneak, and in this case a real con- temptible, supercilious one at that. But what ' s the use calling her names, she smiles, or frowns at you exactly as she pleases. Today she flings glass and nails under your automobile — tomorrow she strews your path with roses — and we poor mortals gather the rose leaves to make beads, and forget about the nails. That is. some of us do, those who have tasted of the philosophy. I wonder is Frederick Daum, the misogynist, had nibbled off a wee bit of this practical wisdom, or did he forfeit that privilege because of his misogynistic tendencies. ' 1 can ' t figure it out. This is his story. On April 15, 1915, when the war between the Germans and the allies was at its height. Kaiser William curled his mustache a little more to the north (according to the map), and called loudly lor more men. Every available man in the village of Kitz heard the call and marched resolutely to the front. There was not a male citizen over fifteen years of age left in the town except Frederick Daum. the misogynist. Frederick was convalescing from a severe attack of typhoid fever, and was still too weak to join lii company. Not to be able to serve his Fatherland was a dreadful calamity in itself, but to be left behind under petticoat government was unbearable. He leaned wearily back in his invalid chair and closed his eyes mutter- ing to himself, Petticoats to the right of him, petticoats to the left of him, petticoats all about him. He shuddered. Xot until Frederick had gained enough strength to lean heavily upon his cane and stroll out of doors, did he fully realize the awkwardness of his situation — a misogynist, and the only man among several hundred women. He shook his fist at fate, but as he looked up he was shaking it in the face of an old woman. He walked slowly on. Children were playing in the streets, large girls predominating, Amazon-like, they were masters of the sit- uation. Stores, factories, and street cars were governed by fem- inine hands. When Frederick reached the country road, he breathed a sigh of relief. As he sat down to rest he murmured to himself : Erasmus is right when he says, ' God himself is a man. He had one son, but no daughters. The cherubim are boys. All the angels are masculine, and so far as Holy Writ informs us, there are no women in heaven. ' This all proves — . A low. melodious sound checked his soliloquy. Never had he heard so charming a voice ; although raised in anger, it was be- witchingly sweet. Get up. I say! Won ' t you get up? You are the most stub- born man I know. Seven ty-fo Class of nineteen sixteen •5ARGA550 Frederick looked in the direction from whence the voice came. He saw two golden braids reaching to the end of a white middy blouse, a short, blue skirt gracefully tucked up, showing a pair of slender ankles and dainty Cinderella-like feet. These dainty feet were kicking a mule harnessed to a plow. When she looked up Frederick recognized in the pretty face. Gretchen Stamm. the only daughter of Franz Stamm. The mule received the kicks and buffs stoically, and at last peacefully stretched himself on the ground. In a moment Gretchen was on his back, jumping up and down on his tough hide calling excitedly : Get up, get up, I say ! Frederick laughed aloud in spite of himself. Involuntarily he walked toward her. May be I can help you, he suggested. The dark handsome man was bowing before Gretchen. Why — you — are the misogynist ! exclaimed Gretchen. Then half afraid that she had offended she put her hand over her mouth. That ' s what they call me. lie had been rather proud of being a misogynist, but somehow the word sounded hard from her lips. Father and the boys are in the light, so mother and 1 are working the farm, but this mule refuses to help. Forgetting his tired limbs and the doctor ' s caution not t exerl himself, Frederick with the aid of the heavy stick soon brought the mule to his feet. In a few minutes he was docilely making the round of the field, Frederick and Gretchen trodding behind. When it was nearly dark. Gretchen ' s mother came out with two bowls of milk and a plate of rye bread. Frederick admitted to himself as he walked home that of all the wonderful stag dinners he had enjoyed none c uld compare to this simple repast of milk and bread. Frederick found hi- way back i the farm day after day. He was determined each night that this day would be the last. But when morning came he walked on the path that led to the farm. Something called him. He said: It was the call of the mule. i It could not be managed without him. i But deep in his heart he knew that it was the call of a pair of blue eye-. Tlu- field had been plowed and planted, and there was no longer am reason t go t ' the farm. He would return once more. say goodby tip Gretchen and then join the army. Gretchen -awing him coming and made room for him beside her ii the bench. She had him hold the yarn -he was unwinding. for with German thrift and frugality, she could not be idle. neither must lie. Do U knew. began Gretchen, eyeing him timidly, different from what 1 expected you to be. Then you had formed an opinion of me before you knew me r Well, every one know- you a- the ' misogynist. ' and wi .. — she broke off blushing and confused. Go on! I « n t mind me — you girls hated me ' No, but we liked to -hock you. Did you ever find it worth while! - 1 did — once. Ince : When w a- that ? •5AR0A55O Class of nineteen sixteen When I called the mule ' man ' ! Then you saw me all the time? I watched you coming down the road, and when you began talking to yourself and frowning, I knew you were thinking of women. But you seemed surprised when you saw ' the misogynist ' ! I was surprised when the ' shock ' proved to be a ' trap. ' I expected you to run away instead. Instead, I walked into the trap? Yes. Gretchen hung her head ashamed of her confession. Well, little Gretchen, the trap snapped and still holds me fast, but you must release me now. My country calls me and I must go. Please don ' t go. There are so many gone already, surely you need not go. Tears filled her eyes. But I will return, Gretchen. You will never return. Tears were falling on her cheeks unheeded. Listen, my child. When the war is over and we boys come marching home victoriously, may the ' misogynist ' claim you as his bride? If you go, said Gretchen slowly, you will never return. Something tells me the bullets, the bayonets, the dreadful fever are waiting for you. Please, don ' t go. The last words ended in a convulsive sob. Frederick held her closer in his arms. Never before had he felt the greatness of a woman ' s love. He was visibly affected. The shadows lengthened and still they did not move. The soft solemn peal of the vesper bell floated in the evening air. To Frederick ' s ear it sounded appealingly, inviting him to bring his bride to the altar. He was about to speak when the beating of drums and the blowing of fifes were heard in the distance. It sounded nearer and nearer, until the martial music was strongly intermingled with the sacred chimes. Frederick sprang up. They were both calling him — the sacred and the martial. Now the drums were drowning the music of the Vesper call — now the soft moan of the church bell sounded above the drum and fife. He strained his ears to catch the predominating note which would decide his fate. But as I told you in the first place, you never can tell what fate will do. Today she throws nails and glass under your auto- mobile, tomorrow she strews your path with flowers. Class of nineteen sixteen T5..5ARGA550 A Week of Letters At Home — Sunday Evening. Dear Betty — Oh! I ' m so lonesome tonight! Notice especially its Sunday evening. Isn ' t it a wonder of all wonders? Of course. I 11 tell you about it. That is precisely why I ' m taking my valu- able ( ?) time to write to you. I suppose Jimmie has told you by this time how badly we beat you (the score was 27-34). Perhaps he is telling you this very minute how mean we are. But we ' re not! Don ' t you believe it. I ' ve only been here six months, but I think, I know. Kokomo beats Anderson all to smash. I confess Anderson boys did play swell but not to be compared with ours. I ' hil said, — but I ' m not going to te ll you what he said. He was mad and I was mad and I ' spose he said it for spite and I don ' t care I ' m mad still. You demand the cause, fair lady? (Scott ' s style. I Then I shall tell you. Last night after the game Don and I were talking and of course we were glad to see one another, considering that we hadn ' t met since I left Anderson and — incidentally — we were holding hands and swinging them just as girls do. I Don ' t tell Don I said girls), and don ' t be shocked, it was out of the crowd! I ' hil came up looking for me and whin he saw our pose he in- stantly changed from a jolly basketball player to a frigi 1 fence- post. He gave Don to understand (by his manner) that he wasn ' t wanted and naturally Don took the hint and left. Then, on the way home Phil took his anger out on me. Honestly he didn ' t give me a chance to get a word in edgeways and when be did stop. I was so mad that I wouldn ' t tell him the truth. So. there we are. I ' m ma 1 and he ' - ma 1 and I shall have to apologize to Don about the way Phil acted. Well, angel child are you tired of my love affair-, -crap-, etc?

You Seventy ■SARGASSO Class of nineteen sixteen don ' t know ? Well, I do. She ' ll say, Josephine Morrison is that all you had to do? Imagine mother saying that. She ' s entirely too nice a mother. Say, 1 forgot (or didn ' t intend to rather) send my letter yes- terday so I ' ll send it with this one and please read them as to dates. Xot the sweet kind, but just ordinary Sunday and Mon- day. I must quit and study Caesar. Miss Drake would never forgive me if she knew how often I came to class, minus a lesson. Yours as ever, Jo. P. S. — This is the bluest Monday I ' ve had for ages. I haven ' t had any lessons to speak of and I got a calling in geometry for writing an innocent little note. J. M. P. S. — Phil hasn ' t come within a mile of me if he could help himself and I don ' t care, I ' ve done likewise. Home Again — Tuesday. Cara Bettina — Mother and I went to a recital tonight at Miss Armstrong ' s, and by the way, I forgot to tell you I played. Yes I did. I played To a Wild Rose, by McDowell, and Moszkow- ski ' s Serenata. Although it wasn ' t my first recital I was scared stiff. My dress was blue chiffon taffeta. Exactly the same one I wore last fall. Nothing exciting happened at school today except Miss Hale informed us that we ' d have a geometry test tomorrow. Sad but true. I suppose I should study, but it isn ' t likely I shall at this time of night. I must go to bed. Good night, Jo. At School — Wednesday. Dear Betty — Oh dear, I ' m hot. I ran almost all the way to school this morning. I thought sure I ' d be late and I had fully three minutes when I got to my locker. Maybe you think that ' s not much, but it ' s enough when you think you ' re going to be late. There goes the class bell now. The first period is on its way. About three minutes distant, but since I have assembly this period it matters little. Say, Betty. I wish you were here ! We are going to have a class social Friday night out in the country. A bob-sled ride. Won ' t that be dandy? (I ' m on the eats committee. Don ' t you pity the kids. We ' re going to have oyster stew.) I don ' t reckon I ' ll have a fellow to go with but, Great Caesar! can ' t you have any fun without one? I know I can. I also hope and pray that Phil won ' t go, ' cause if he does, I won ' t have a good time. I am now going to study my geometry. Perhaps I ' ll add a line or so after its over informing you of its hardness. Yours in agony of suspense, Jo. Noon. Yesterday in English I learned the most proper way to write a letter. Therefore (force of geometry habit) I shall write you one (?). Judge for yourself whether it is one. Class of nineteen sixteen -£ «5A£GA550 415 E. Walnut St., Kokomo, Ind., Jan. 25, 1916.

At least if I didn ' t I should. I loping to hear from you soon and wishing you the best of good health, 1 remain. Your most humble friend. Josephi n e Morrison. Upstairs — Thursday Evening. Dear Betty Wiggles — Nothing has happened today and yet everything has. I ' ve laughed hysterically from light this morning until nine this evening. In the first place we had chapel this morning anil the first period of course was gone, but according to new rule of affairs we skipped second hour class this time instead of first. I Next time third.) So I got out of history. Iloorah! We had a good talk this morning, a funny old Dutchman. Also the orchestra played so well I was scared. When we got to geometry today. Miss Male had our test papers finished and mine was returned with a great big E on it and Congratulations written across the top. I felt so crazy. That is the first time I ever got E on a test in geometry, and 1 guess Miss Hale was kidding me witli her Congratulations. I tut that i- the funniest yet. Miss Male told a funny ;toi class today. N ' oti know she ' s ever so sweet out of class, but in class she insists ii your paying strict attention to geometry, so today 1 almost fell over when -he began to tell it. And I was so tickled. It was funny and since I -urely have your aroused by this time. I ' ll tell you, too. She -aid she once had a class that was listless and lazy i -he didn ' t say lazy, but the meaning was th ■ same — then she went on to say) ju-t a- a few of us seemed to be i Me. included. 1 suppose.

She then asked what a common internai tangent was ami one girl -ai I, ' ' Does. h ! it was killing! We kids just laughed and laughed an 1 laughed some more. .V you know she gave us a nice short lessi n for tomorrow. Goody! Notice how my letters are peppered with exclamation marks, as Judy says. But something else happened at winch 1 almost fainted. I was walking home for dinner in a gran 1 rush, and - whistled the basketball boys whistle, an 1 I turned around and there was Phil running. I merely turned back again and walked on. lie called then and asked me to wait, actually asked me to wait, so 1 waited. When he caught up we walked ah - g little bit without either of US saying anything. He was somewhat out of breath and I was determined to make him speak tir-t. i That reminds me. AriovistUS said to Caesar. If you want anything of me, you must come to me. and if I want anything of you. 1 will conic to you. i Therefore since he had come, he might as well talk, .md -o I waited (patiently or impatiently — ?). He began S .5AR0A5SO Class of nineteen sixteen abruptly, Jo, do you think we can go back to our old friendship? It struck me so decidedly at wrong angles (instead of right) and I laughed. At first he thought I was making fun of him and a little bit of fire flashed in his eyes and he remarked sarcastically, If you think you can treat me just as you please and then have me on my knees begging forgiveness, you ' re mistaken. I thought you believed in giving a fellow square deals, but since you don ' t seem to why — it ' s all the same. And he started to walk off, mind you! I was so surprised, I had been only joking and the idea that he wouldn ' t understand never entered my head. So now there was nothing to do but apologize which I did. He ' fessed up that he had got mad over nothing and he was sorry and so on, etc. Of course, there was something to get mad over and I said so, but I would not tell him why I did it until tomorrow. He pretended he was not curious, but he is all right. Then he wanted to know whether we were going to the social or not. I said, Well, I am going, I do not know about you. He thought for a minute I was going with some other fellow and then I laughed and it ended in a fight over the advisability of joking in a serious manner. There is now peace in the country. How long it will last is hard to say. Well, me thinks it ' s bedtime. Bona Nox, Jo. Home at Last — Friday, 12 p. m. Dear Betty — I thought I ' d never, never get home! They took us to the school building and there left us. We had to walk home then and I was cold from riding. We went four or five miles out so somebody said. It seemed like ten to me. But, oh ! the fun we had. Played cards, tricks and had a weinnie roast in the snow. It was swell ! Two boat loads went. I never had a better time, I don ' t believe. Our host was perfect. He made us feel at home as soon as we arrived and continued to do so until we left. We didn ' t leave either until 10:30. And, say don ' t you know I had Phil ' s curiosity aroused about Don ? Well, I told him this evening that Don was my cousin and I thought I ' d never escape alive ! He was almost as angry as the night of the basketball game. (Nix.) He looked at me so funny and then laughed I was afraid he ' d be so mad, but for- tunately for me he has a sense of humor and immediately caught the point. But of course he pretended he thought it was awful, etc. And so we are on good terms, but doubtless we shall soon be into it again. I ' m too sleepy now to write any more so I shall go to bed and drop you a line tomorrow. Gute nacht. Jo- Dear Bet — J just thought I ' d write you a nice long letter and invite you up for the Thorntown game which is next Saturday a week. Therefore you can come Saturday morning and stay until Sunday evening (longer if you like) — Get me? Please come. 1 have my plans made and shall only await you to complete them. I ' m also asking Don to make Phil apologize to him instead of having to do it myself. Au revoir, J. B. 2A. Class of nineteen sixteen •5ARGA550 Leap Year Comedy Order! With that one word the dignified president of the Leap Year Association pounded on the table with her hammer. ( It is well to mention that it was a very feminine looking affair that had been originally intended for a tack hammer.) The chattering roomful of girls soon quieted so that talking was audible. Fellow members, the president began, our organization has existed for over a month and a half and not one proposal has been recorded, let alone engagements. The fact that there are ten of our number in high school yet, is no handicap; the five in college should be an honor to our company, while the rest of us twenty-five are ladies of leisure. I am quite confident that if our club exists for three more weeks without something being done, that it will not only cease to exist, but it will just die a very sudden death. Of course, I can not start the ball rolling on account of my oath on receiving office of presidency that — to give the rest of the girls a chance, my proposing had to rest until the last month of this year; if it were not for that handicap I might have proposed long ago. If you will take me out of that bond I will endeavor to help all I can. From the back of the room a girl, in a low. clear voice spoke. Miss President? Miss W ' inton ? responded the president. I have thought out a plan, continued Catherine Winton, which I would like to see given a trial. It is thi- : On forty- second street the boys of our set have a bachelors ' club; my proportion was to write a note to the club, inviting them to a tea which we could give. The room was in confusion until for the second time the presi- dent applied the hammer to the table. 1 think it i a good idea if carried out right. What think of it! ' Stand if you are in favor, the president spoke. Well, Catherine, every one stood so that must have been a good idea. But when should thi- come to pas s? Mi s President? said Grace Newo mb. Mi- Newcomb? I think this being Saturday the twenty-sixth of February, that the twenty-ninth would be very good. That would give us three days for preparation. All right, agreed the president I think we ' ll take a stand- ing vote on that. All Sti « id but one. Well, Miss Averly. what are your objections? asked the president. I ' ve been thinking it over and 1 don ' t believe it entirely proper for us to carry out this plan without a chaperone. I see, returned the president. Did you all get that? Ha any one a solution for that difficulty? 1 have, spoke up Bess Beacon, without regard to the usual ceremony. My great aunt Ellen i visiting us from Kentucky. SJ-5ARGA550 Class of nineteen sixteen She is stone deaf, and she thinks a lot of me, and would consider it an honor to he invited, so if you all want her, I ' ll fix it all right with her. Well. said the president. I am inclined to believe that the better way. so if the secretary will please write that note to the Bachelor ' s Club, the meeting is dismissed. Monday morning the mail brought to the Bachelor ' s Club a letter in a pink envelope, daintily perfumed. Many of the boys, who were clad in smoking jackets and some in robes, gathered around Ned Dureman who held the letter. Who could it be from? one asked. Open it, came the command. Calmly the holder opened it and read aloud: The Bachelors Club: Feb. 26, 1916. L. Y. Association. The L. V. Association requests the presence of the Bachelor ' s Club at an afternoon tea at 4:30. being on Tuesday, February the twenty-ninth, p. m. Girls of the L. V. Association.

Second the motion, said Audrey Malcolm. One of their number went over to the writing desk, procured pen, ink, paper, envelope and stamp and then yelled out. What shall I write ? At this exclamation the boys crowded around his chair. Bob Breamon perched upon the arm of the writer ' s chair and said, You write while I dictate. Ready? Yes, was the response. All right — Feb. 28, 1916. Bachelor ' s Club. L. Y. Association : The Bachelor ' s Club accepts with pleasure the invitation to tea on Tuesday evening, the twenty-ninth of February. The Bachelor ' s Club. This letter reached its destination on Tuesday morning. The committee of girls that were to take care of the tea party had everything in readiness at three-thirty, and by four all the girls had arrived. They came in groups and all admired the rooms, which were decorated in pale green crepe-paper and pink roses. Scattered about the three large rooms were small tea tables, each dainty in a white cover and each with a vase on it containing four roses, one for each of the four who were to sit at the table. At four-thirty the boys came. After the confusion of laying away wraps, and informal introductions, they grouped in fours and were seated. While the maids were bringing in the tea, lively music was played on the victrola. When they commenced eating and chatting, the music was changed to grand opera and solos. Over an hour had elapsed, one of gayety, one hour of prolonged Eighty-1 Class of nineteen sixteen r to 5ARGA 0 enjoyment, some were talking earnestly, some joking, but all were merry — all but one; ' twas Hess ' great aunt Ellen. She watched the proceedings in wide amazement. This is what she saw. about twenty-five minutes till six. In one corner, her neice, another girl and two boys at a table; John Wainwright was with her neice and just as she looked again — he — kissed — her! Of all things. With an exclamation of horror, the old lady arose from her chair and hurried, as fast as she could, to the afore-mentioned corner. With all the force she could command she shook the lad, and finally said: Well! You nor no other young snipper-snapper can kiss my neice unless he ' s engaged to her, which you — Am, John finished the sentence for her. Well, of all things, that ' s the beatenest, said Aunt Ellen, and her mouth opened wider and her eyes shone brighter. As six o ' clock approached the laughing, talking and merry- making crowd started to get ready to go. The girls asked to take the boys home, but the boys had to be teased before they would consent, although it ua- only two blocks and very early. I In girls all returned to their clubrooms after accompanying their friends home and they seated themselves for a meeting. There was much talking so the president picked up a spoon and rapped the table vigorously. Order! ' accompanied the noise.

He was a junior, one of the kind that thinks they know as much as any senior. One day, at the seventh period, instead of being in his English class he found himself wandering down the hall. He was not at all disturbed by the fact that the bell rang. In fact he smiled at the thought of cutting class. He did not see the especial need of going to school anyway. As he passed room after room, he saw no occupants ; this he found to be true of the first floor and the second. Wondering somewhat, he ascended the steps to the third floor. Here absolute silence reigned — Josephus decided to investigate and this is where the story begins. lie was just then in front of Room 300. Hearing a slight noise that seemed to proceed from the next room, he opened the door and looked into Room 301. The room was quite empty, yet he --till heard some one talking. At last he noticed that it was the typewriters; all were speaking softly, but in different keys. Amazed by the sound, and frightened more than he would have admitted, he hastily retreated. Just across the hall, he saw all the large record books used in bookkeeping walking around on slim little legs. Josephus was now ready for anything to happen, and he boldly approached a book. 1 — I — never noticed you had legs to you, before, he stam- mered. His voice rang and echoed in the quiet hall. The book looked up at him knowingly. O. no, to be sure, you ' ve never seen them before, it replied. Whenever we feel the need of exercise, we take a couple of figure l ' s from the accounts and use them for legs. Sometimes we forget to put them back, and the pupils wonder where and why the books are short. By this time our friend ' s attention had been attracted by some shadowy figures in Room 303. Softly he entered. Having seen pictures of famous Romans in books, he recognized the characters he saw. He could understand a little of their conversation, as he had studied Latin. Vergil and Caesar over by the window were discussing whether the majority of pupils preferred Caesar or Vergil. In one corner of the room, Orgetorix was excitedly tell- ing a group of Romans that he had not killed himself after all, and intended to fight a duel with Caesar for leaving that impres- sion about him. An aged Roman, in flowing toga, who had been tinkering with the telephone in a vain attempt to comprehend its use, turned slowly, and observing the miniature bridges on the desk, said in his native tongue, Look, Caesar, there ' s your bridge. Caesar walked over, scrutinized the structure tenderly and sighed. I think, considering that they have to translate their building directions from your laborious — began Vergil. Class of nineteen sixteen ■5J-5ARGA550 Caesar glared savagely at him and straightened the wreath on his head. Fearing a scene, Josephus walked on down the hall. He was beginning to wonder if he was bewitched, and what had become of all the teachers and pupils. Musing along these lines, he deter- mined to visit every room and see if there were any more ghosts prowling around, lie could at least amuse himself and that was better than going to class. As he passed the chemistry room, he saw an old test tube rise up before an audience of bottles and chemistry aprons, sitting primly around the walls, and introduce the Misses Hydrogen and Oxygen, who were to deliver an address on the Pleasure- and Benefits of Swimming. As Josephus passed on, he heard Miss Hydrogen ' s words: Oh, yes, we love it — Miss Oxygen and I are always to be found in water together. At the head of the stairs, at the east side of the building, he distinguished another shadowy group. It was composed of Bis- mark, Frederick the Great and Goethe. They were wrangling, because Goethe wanted to write an ode to the other two. and they objected. Nearby, Reinhard and Elizabeth were happily receiving congratulations, after their wedding, while Theodore Storm. author of Immensee, was pouting in one corner, and complain- ing to the German grammar that Reinhard and Elizabeth were spoiling his best story. Having descended the southeast stairs. Josephus walked along the hall; he was now thoroughly enjoying this queerest of all adventures. Stopping at the music room, he saw all the record- doing the one-step to the tune of one record who had unwillingly allowed himself to be placed in the grafonola. This record, even while playing, gave vent to hi- di -appointment at not being allowed to dance also. Josephus was amused at their ant: the music on the blackboard took note. Passing Room 207. our Iter.. ' - ey£ was attracted by a large -ign on the door which read: This roome 1- emptye — ther i- nothing in i:. I will be bak in juste y — about a minnit. G. Chaucer. Josephus had an idea where Chaucer was, for he had noticed a grave and solemn group outside Room 209, and had perceived Shakespeare reading the dictionary to the other literary-looking gentlemen. Just then the door of a room farther down the hall opened and Miss Circle and Mr. Compass strolled out, closely following them was Mi-- Octagon, an Angular creature, with a jealous eye fixed on Mi-- Circle. When she reached Josephus. she began to address him thus: There goes Mr. Compass with that h fat Mi-- Circle! I ' m lot- more his -ize. and yet — Why that Miss Circle weigh- - • degrees. I heard her say so! She j along! As sharp a- Mr. Compass i- in some points. Ed think he ' d find a suitable comparison! Having no advis ungallantly walked off and left Mi-- I Ictagon standing there. It was then that he decided to try the first floor and see who was down there. But as he turned to descend the front stairs. hi- wa) was blocked by a chain of glaring zeros, who danced fiendishly around him. each demanding if Josephus owned him. The) had come from the riles in the office, and were all th which the pupil- had earned, or as the scholars tin •5AR0A55O Class of nineteen sixteen have expressed it which the teachers had given them. It was only after Josephus explained that he had never received a zero in his life that they separated and let him pass. Downstairs, in the middle of the hall, was a huge palm tree, on which grew all the dates in the history books. At the top of the tree, the largest and sweetest dates were found — there were — Under this most interesting specimen of plant life sat the Civics book. He was large, and fat, and intelligent looking. He had a ponderous rotund face and a quantity of black hair. He was engaged in talking to several of his pages. Behind the tree, some distinguished-looking persons were found, one was Luther Burbank, who was classifying the leaves of the palm tree. Down in the botany laboratory Josephus saw all the flowers, which the pupils had pressed, arranged in long pale rows, while a misroscope with piercing eyes, stood before them, and required each to say his (Latin) botanical name in turn. Over in the domestic science rooms a gas flame was discussing with much warmth, the tariff question with the grater, a rough individual. In the middle of the room an ancient dishpan was telling the pots and pans how to avoid being scrubbed with Dutch cleanser. The door-ways and windows were crowded with fright-eyed needles and hard-headed pins who had come to listen. In the next room the full length mirror was in despair, because no one would stay to hear her lecture on Vanity, except the scissors, and she didn ' t like the latter because he had made such cutting remarks. Thus far Josephus had not been molested, every one had ap- parently been ignorant of his presence. But when he reached the manual training department, he did not fare so well. As he stepped inside the door, he beheld a score or more sticks of wood busily occupied in running the buzz-saw. As soon as they caught sight of Josephus, they approached, grabbed him with splintery arms and threw him in the buzz-saw. Then they began to laugh — louder and louder and still more loudly they laughed — And just then Aliss Ryker was shaking his shoulder gently — an 1 he rubbed his eye. Shamefacedly he slouched down in his seat, and wished he were in Havti. Class of nineteen sixteen •5ARUA550 A description of the village Grdbbit Grabbit was a small village — yes, there was no denying that — it was very small. Every one, even the people of the village itself, admitted that ; in fact, the latter rather complimented themselves that they had not allowed the vulgar, rude, wicked world to crowd into their select company. Oh, yes! undoubtedly it was a select company. Oh, no one was counted a citizen of the village who did not have at least one parent a native of the town. They had two public buildings, a church and a school. It really did seem that as wealthy as some of the members of the church were reputed to be, they could at least afford to have a few new shingles put on the roof above the pulpit. On a rainy Sunday the preacher was doomed to be very damp after the service, for it would be shocking for him to preach off the pulpit, and yet the pulpit was so small, and the leak in the roof so large, that the minister could not escape the water. When Hezekiah Tight com- plained to the other trustees that the roof over his accustomed seat leaked, the trustees thought it their duty to shingle the roof there, but somehow or other they missed the place over the pulpit. Oh. yes! those trustees were honest! They did not neglect their duties; and of course they paid more ( ?) than they urged the other people to pay. and that was more than most trustees did. The congregation was very religious. They went to church every Sunday. What matter if they went to sleep after they got there ' All but the children. The air was thick with paper-wa Sunday, and whenever one hit Hezekiah Tight he jumped, shouted Amen, (usually in the middle of a sentence) and was asleep again.

AS CHAUCER PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DESCRIBED IT. A teem ther was that played at Basket Balle, And with them was a center very talle, Whose legs were long, and fast he could y-ronne, Whan after him the others bigan to come. Snowy white and curly was his hair, And whan it came to baskets he was ther. This game he loved with all his hole herte, At alle tymes thogh him gamed or smerte. A forwarde ther was not quite so talle. And ful light as is a rubber balle, And whan him eeke out upon the floore, That yelling squad would than bigan to roare. This game he played with all his strength and mite, And never let the ball get out of sighte. Around the floor he swiftly would y-scoote, While all the crowd would madly cheer and roote. A guard ther was and he was also captain, And he would play no matter what wold happen, He always cold display such wondrous strength Which well made up for what he lacked in length. As fast as is a ram he could y-ronne, Around the floor as thogh shot from a gune. A forwarde ther was on this same teeme. So very light and short that it wold seeme That he would make it easy for the others. But he could play ful wel as could his brothers. He liked girls and also to eet dopes. And whan he played it brighten all our hopes. Many men he landed on the floore, To turn around and add twice to our score. Another forwarde whom we call Shimer At this rude game he surely was a shiner And whan the ball come neer he wold arreste And to our score another mark investe. A guard ther was of whom we speak as Belle And no one ever knew him to be yelwe. Many stars he now has in his crowne And never fails to keep their score downe. A coach ther was by whom they were instructed, Who always tried to keep himself obstructed As strong and sturd as the younge oake And this goot teeme he surely did y-make.

M. C. A. gymnasium on the evening of the 25th of May. The seniors ' colors, green and white, were used throughout. At the entrance a white picket fence simulated a lane and all about the walls was a lattice work of white against which great boughs of maple were placed. Here and there were boxes and baskets filled with blossoms and overhead the balcony rail was banked with green boughs, while from balcony to balcony were hung ribbons of green and white. Soft rugs on the floor and comfortable chairs and settees made the room most inviting. At either side of the room were placed punch bowls over which sopho- more girls presided, serving the delicious green beverage through- out the evening. The program conformed to the same color notion in its selection for the programs were printed in green on white, and was as follows : Impromptu in C sharp Reinhold Miss Bess Jenkenson Solo Selected Mr. Esplin L.

Class of nineteen sixteen •5ARGA550 Senior Hay Ride The first social gathering of the seniors this fall was a hay ride to a woods east of the Van Sickle home in the country. About 5 o ' clock in the evening, twenty-five of the seniors and Miss Roberts started to the woods. The ride was a merry one, but it was more enjoyable assembled around a large camp fire eating a delicious supper and roasting weenies and marshmallows. Senior Spread Never before or never in the future will a senior class have the good time the class of ' 16 had on February 24. The party- was given in the form of a senior spread. All day the busy senior girls carried in their eats. While each anxious hungry-looking senior boy guarded a twenty-five cent piece in his vest pocket. Promptly at 6 o ' clock the students, together with the faculty, seated themselves at the well-filled tables which were artistically decorated with flowers and purple and white crepe-paper. My. how they all did eat! Everything tasted good. Even Mr. Bennett frankly declared he had enough to eat for once. At the close of the spread Roscoe Moore, who was toastmaster for the evening, called on members of the faculty and students of the class, who responded as follows : Harriet Hale — Our Xew High School Building. John Van Sickle — The Advantages of Being a Twin. Vianna Falske— The Senior Assembly We Dreamed of. Irene Raver — Senior Activities. Clea Reagan — Night School. Harold Freeland— What I Think of K . H. S. Mr. Eiinshaw — What I Think of the Seniors of ' 16. Miss Dye — - Social Standpoint of Seniors. Mr. Bennett concluded the talks by displaying hi oratorical ability in an impromptu speech. Senior Social December 10, if we recall, was the evening the Wildcats plaved Marion in a game of real basketball. It was a merry time for the seniors that evening. All th triors were assembled under their colors — purple and white — and helped to root the game to victory tor K. 11. S. Alter the game, a large number of the seniors attended the class soda! held at Mary Hodgin ' s. The spacious home was open tor every one to have a fine time. At a late hour a regular senior spread was heartily indulge! in. Music from the victrola and piano was enjoyed throughout the evening. 5AP0A55O Class of nineteen sixteen Class of nineteen sixteen 5A£GA550 Senior Reunion On August 1, 1915, the seniors met at the I. U. T. station and journeyed out to the home of George McReynolds, four mile- southeast of the city, for a reunion and real picnic. The eats were taken along and served in a big woods near by. Several rope swings were erected and various forms of amusement provided. All enjoyed themselves and voted to make the affair an annual one. This was the last school function which Prof. Maple attended in Kokomo. Junior Class Social November 5 Ruth Price, at her home 900 North .Main Street, entertained the juniors with such success that it will be long remembered. They were entertained first by Lynn Rapp and William Ter- hune, two of the high school ' s noted magicians, who performed many marvelous feats. All indulged in games and music through- out the evening. For supper, the guests were seated at a large table, on which were found menu cards with a list of the following eatables ; Sandwiches, pickles, baked beans, salad, apples, doughnuts and cider. These were served by Wilfred Moore, Lynn Rapp, Alton Reese and William Terhune. Junior Gym Jam i in February 11. 1916, the rir-t sociable was hel i in ur new gym by the junior .

Edward Anderson, one of H. S. ' s sophomores, gave a halloween party at his spacious home, at 602 West Taylor Street. The Anderson home was decorated cleverly in halloween fantasies. All enjoyed themselves, playing the usual witching games of the season, and later delicious refreshments were served. Freshman Social On the evening of October 7 the freshman class held a sociable at ths home of Joy Lockwood, inviting all high school students. The Lockwood home was beautifully decorated for the occa- sion. Now for a merry time seemed to be ringing in every one ' s ears. The social was well attended by the students. Games, music and interesting talks were carried out by the members of the class. Refreshments were served. Short Story Club One of the most interesting and useful clubs in high school is the Short Story Club organized by Miss Dye. Every two weeks the club meets at the various homes and different members prepare talks on both classic and modern short stories. At the conclusion of the meeting, they either have a big spread or else serve light refreshments. George Simmons is president of the club and Ruth Moon, secretary. There are twenty-five members.

II. S. has always had a good basktball team composed of clean, upright boys representing the best in K. H. S., physically and mentally, but the team of 1915-16 seems to have been of better quality than the teams of preceding years. This was not a one-man team, nor a two-man team, but it was a five-man team, a team of which each member played for his team and not for personal glory. It was not a heavy team, but it was as fast as any team ever put in action. Except for Buck and Parker the team was composed of medium-sized men. To start with, Mike had the best of material to work with. There was Jim Brown, captain, and a star guard; Don Arbuckle, Fred Bell, Paul Parker, Billy Shinier and many others. From this array of tried and true men it was inevitable that Mike should build a team that would bring honor and glory not only to K. H. S„ but to Kokomo. Citizens of Kokomo were quick to realize this and they began to boost for the boys of the red and blue with all their might. With all this encouragement the boys went to work with a determination to make good and make good they did. Because of this determination they put forth their best efforts to win for Kokomo, making such ferocious onslaughts and exhibiting so much speed and agility that people began calling them • ' The Wild Cats. During the early part of the season it was necessary to obtain the privilege to use the Y. M. C. A. gym while the high school gym was being put in readiness. It was in the historic setting of the Y. M. C. A. that Captain Jim Brown led his men, the boys of the red and blue, on to victory for the last time. Jim was a great player and a good captain and it was with regret that the K. H. S. basketball fans gave him his last cheer as a play.er on the K. H. S. team. Besides being a good player, Brown was an excellent track man. He was a pretty sprinter, but his special- ties were the half and quarter. He was expected to take the state championship in the half-mile this spring since he equaled the former record of 2:07 last spring. Besides all this, Jim was a good stu ' ent and his ever ready smile was contagious enough to bring a responsive smile, even from a Latin teacher. Don Arbuckle was elected by the team to succeed Jimmy. Don is one of the fastest and most skillful forwards in the state. He is a good defensive player as well as on the offensive. His fast footwork and quick dodges make of him an opponent worthy the consideration of larger and older men than he. His ability to hit the basket from the middle of the floor has helped win many hard-fought games. Buckle ' s never-failing good humor has made him dear to the hearts of his teammates, classmates and teachers. Though the loss of Brown at back guard was quite a blow to the team, they withstood the shock with admirable courage and came back playing the game for all there was in it. This attitude was bound to win recognition and with the report that the new high school gymnasium would be in readiness in a couple of weeks people took a new and stronger interest in basketball. One Humlred and Fo Class of nineteen sixteen •S 5ARGA550 The first game to be played in the tuu gym was against Ander- son, There was much doubt expressed as to whether the K. H. S. team would he ahle to heat the Anderson team, since the local floor was much like home for the Anderson hoys, while to tin- local team it was comparatively strange since they had never been in action on it. The K. II. S. team got together an 1 decided that the dedication of the new gym must be accompanied with a vic- tory over some outside team. They made good their resolution and took th; game by a sate margin. Thus was the new battle- ground dedicated. I!v this time people were beginning to name the Kokomo la Is as real contenders for state honors. The dopesters were having a hard time of it though, trying to decide just which school had the best team, since every strong team seemed to have defeated some other strong team that had defeated the first strong team. It was a question who could deliver the goods on the fateful da) of judgment. Kvervbodv was convinced that there was not a high school team in Kokomo ' s district that could win out against the K. II. S. team. It is no wonder to us that s, . much confidence was placed in the locals when we think of the team. We realize that it repre- sented the work of months of conscientious training by the mem- bers; anil the tireless energy with which M ike toiled over new plays and devices to give the red and blue one nit ire advantage over a team whose coaching in the little tine points of the gam. ' was not so good. The efficiency of Mike ' s coaching is splendidly demonstrated by the regularity with which the boys worked out their signal plays. The team was like a highly-specialized machine and when once adjusted and set in motion, it workeJ with a smooth, clock-like precision, with lluckle ami Shinier spinning around the pivot, a great blond giant name!

Tin season closed on March 1. 1916. with a game at Muncie, which was won by Kokomo. This game will always be remem- bered by K. II. S. fan-. ii t because it was won, but because it was the last game that Fred Bell ever played in. Bell was a wonderful basketball player.

The main duty of the second team is that of trainer for the first team. It is also a training school for fellows who will be next year stars. The second t:am of K. H. S. had not won. an out-of-town for several years, but it always proved fairly efficient on the home floor. However, this team seemed to be a little better than some of its predecessors and won several out-of-town games as well as all the games at home. The second team was weakened on several occa- sions when it was divided into second and third teams, and sent to different towns. This broke up the unity of the team-work and made it hard to execute the signal plays. The second and third teams played nineteen games. Of these they won fourteen. ■ Hundred and Eight Class of nineteen sixteen «5ARGA550 f 1 I 1 1 i •% . - - .., ; 7 .w- One Mundrivl aiul Ni Sh e 5ARGASSO Class of nineteen sixteen Track Meets County -Meet held April 19, 1915, Kokomo.

K. H. S. had an easy time of it, taking as high as ten points in some of the events. None of the records made were so very good owing to the condition of the track. Then to make mat- ters worse the meet was about half over when it began to rain. The ground before had been wet and now it was muddy and large pools of water lined the path of runners. The meet was K: ' s from start to finish, and it was a happy and tired crowd of boys who trooping in home (Kokomo) on that Satur- day were dreaming of the two beautiful silver cups and many metals they had won for K. H. S. Of the thirteen members of the team not one failed to make at least one point and Heber Williams won twenty- five points, and nine of them made enough points to win a K.

II. S. have not had any chance for athletics because of the lack of a gymnasium. But with access to the gymnasium which the new building provides the girls im- mediately started to work. Mr. Hinshaw heartily endorsed the idea and appointed Miss Choate to act as coach. A meeting was held of all girls interested in basketball and plans were discussed. It was decided tt divide the girls into assemblies and select the teams from them. Elections were bell and twelve teams were organized under the following captains Florence Critchlow, Belle Elson, Geraldine Armstrong, Clarice Beidler, Ruth Turley, Joy Lockwood, Grace Findlay, Julia Mor- rison, Gladys Moore. Catherine Stedman, Agnes Vrooman and Josephine Tague. These teams were numbered and a schedule made out which lasted from February 18 until April 14. Because of the size of the gym the floor was divided into two courts. In this way two games were played at one time. Halves of from ten to bfteen minutes were used so that eight teams could play in one evening. On every Tuesday and Friday the girls donned their middies and bloomers and played with a zest equal to that of the boys. Since a large majority of the girls bad never played before and knew very little about the rules, the first games were comedies of errors. But under the efficient coaching of Miss Choate they gradually improved. From the best players of all the teams a tirst and a second team was organized. )n March 3 these two teams played a pre- liminary game. First team Forwards, Klsie Miller and Catherine Stedman; center, Clarice Beidler; guards. Loraine Shrock and Julia Morri- son; subs, Sidney Colescott and Ruby Conner. Second team — Forwards, Mary ere and Armetha Kenned) : center, lone Butler ; guards, Mae hair and Flora Cell: subs, Ruth Tiiilc and Irene Raver. As tli i - was the first game of the season for the girls the crowd cheered a great deal. Several fouls were made, but as a whole the playing was g 1. The second team won by a scoi Elsie Miller made all the points for the tir-t team, and Man Core. 6, and lone Butler, 2. for the sec nd. The tirst team wore re I ribbons and sweaters and the second wore blue. The next game was playe I as a preliminary to the eighth- gra !e game. The secon ! team won again by a -2 -core. The last game was played before the alumni game. The lineup was -litjlit 1 changed, placing Loraine Shr. ick at forward and Irene Raver at guard on the tirst team, while on the second, Mary Vore played forward and Josephine Tague center. Hiis game was the best .if the season. The girl- had improved greatly and it was a hard-fought battle from tart to finish. The tir-t team got together and won by a 7-6 -core.

THE PASTOR ' S TACTFUL WIFE One day a clergyman noticed a woman, whom he much dis- liked, coming up the front steps. Taking refuge in his study, he left his wife to entertain the caller. Half an hour later he emerged from his retreat, listened carefu lly on the landing, and. hearing nothing below, called down to his wife : Has that horrible old bore gone? The objectionable woman was still there, but his wife, equal to the occasion, answered, Yes, dear, she went long ago! Mrs. Parker is here now.

THE LETTER E Someone has advanced the opinion that the letter e is the most unfortunate character in the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger and in hell all the time. For some reason, he overlooked the fortunes of the letter, so we will call his attention to the fact that e is never in war and always in peace. It is the beginning of exist- ence, the commencement of ease and the end of trouble. With- out it there would be no meat, no life and no heaven. It is the center of honesty, makes love perfect and without it there would be no editors, devils, nor news. Mr. Eckert ' s definition of a dumb-head — Ingrown ivory.

We don ' t need boys like you around here. But, sir, said the astonished boy, I don ' t work for you. I have just bought some goods and am waiting for the bill.
