r The Green and White Published by the Class of ’16 Kouts High School : Kouts, Indiana _ = _ . _ . _ J To James M. Alexander and Marie E. Goodenough our Superintendent and Principal This Book is heartily dedicated by the Class of Nineteen-sixteen Foreword ( With apologies to 84 cbeth) Our work is done at last; After months’ continuous effort, it rests in peace; The staff has done its best; lack of time nor delay, Careful criticism, frequent corrections, nothing Can touch it further. So, in reading this book. Leave room for a laugh; Remember the good And leave out the chaff. Pigc five cA Glimpse Into the ’Past As wc glance back to the year 1899 we sec the High School held in the room now occupied by the sixth and seventh grades. It was then just a two-year course, and one person, Jesse O. Betterton, was graduated that year. It remained a two-year course until the fall of 1902, when the course was lengthened to three years. In 1905 the High School was moved to O’Brien’s Hall, and stayed there until 1907, when it came back to its pres- ent room, which was built especially to accommodate it. That year it became a four-year course, but was only accredited. The teachers during the term 1907-1908 were E. E. Wright, Miss Leach and Miss Viant. The next year the High School became one of the highest class, a commissioned school. Miss Atkins took Miss Leach’s place. The graduates were Clara Young and Arthur LaCount. Miss Atkins stayed only one year, her place being filled by Miss Toftc. In 1911 Miss Felton became our music and drawing teacher; that in 1911-12 Miss Kring was added to our faculty and still remains with us. The year of 1914 wc learned Mr. Robertson was to take Miss Toftc's place. Mis Fanny Hannon, an old K. II. S. graduate, took Miss Felton’s place the same year. The term of 1915 wc saw our former prin- cipal as our superintendent, for Mr Wright had decided to take up fanning and Mr. Alexander took Mr. Robertson’s place. Then, when this year began we had Mr. Alexander as principal. Miss (ioodenough assistant. Miss Kring second assistant. Miss Hannon ’ll. as Music and Drawing teacher and Miss Knieger '10, as our Domestic Science teacher. Every year since our High School became commissioned we have had a Senior class and wc hope in the future the K. H. S. will grow better and stronger than ever. Clara B. Detlp.fs. T6.

Vtgt t’Ofthte Senior Class History We arc Seniors” we say with pride in our hearts, for Time has indeed borne us with swift wings through htc four successful years of our High School life. It really docs not seem four years since we were graduated front grammar school and entered High School. At first we hardly dared think of any- thing save our bewildering German, algebra and several other subjects. The unfamiliar work and our awe of the higher classes, especially the Seniors, made us a trifle shy at first. Rut. alas! We soon recovered our spirits and began to ask questions and make ourselves seen and heard everywhere. I know we looked like Freshmen; everybody said we acted like Freshmen. Well—we were Freshmen. But when we l ecamc the Sophomore Class we lost a little of our old spirit and became a trifle wiser( ?). Indeed, we even held the new Freshman Class in contempt. They were stich lttbies! We continued our study of German and English and took up two or three new subjects. One especially, which nearly overcame us, was Geometry. After almost every sentence that we uttered in this class Mr. Alexander would say, “Now, please prove what yott have said.” And just about that time our tongues would cleave to the roofs of our mouths and we knew that we were “in for it. Upon entering our Junior year wc indeed began to feel that we were getting somewhere. So, with the help of our ever- rcady teachers, we climbed a little higher on the path to success and tried to fit ourselves for the business of being Seniors. Now. with the | assing of another year, we find ourselves on the rung of life's ladder that marks the end of our high school life. We realize that we owe a good |� rt of our success in our work to our instructors, who have always been so helpful and considerate. It is not without a little pang that we leave our high school, for the days spent within its walls have been very happy, and hold for us memories that will never be forgotten. The future lies before us and it remains for us to make it what it ought to Ik , but we are not afraid, and step forward with the brightest of ho| cs and the best resolutions. Florence M. Boedkker, '16. cPigt thirteen r Class cPoem Louis, our Class President of renown. In class meetings has caused many a frown. Please come to order, he’d say with a grin. “Then in the end we surely can win. Now, there is Clara, who can’t ho surpassed. For in height she stands at the head of the class.

Preparing ourselves for untrod ways. Trusting the future for what is best. We onward move with renewed zest. To our friends remaining wc wish success. And always stick to the K. H. S. For all difficulties have wc overcome — To beat us you’ll have to go some. When wc leave the Kouts High School, No more to keep the Golden Rule. Our wish to teachers kind and true Is to remain good friends with you. Alice H. Kruell, T6. cPf 7« fouritc Pige fifteen junior Class History 1917! The Class of 1917 hopes to be the largest in the history of the K. H. S. Therefore, Seniors, spare us a page in your Annual to devote to the Juniors of 1916. Twenty-two boys and girls assembled in the high school room in the autumn of 1913, eager to Inrgin their Freshman duties. There were nine lads and thirteen maidens, as follows: Bertha Drazer, Jerry Danielson, Genevieve Hannon, Hattie Hart- man, Anna Hartman, Emil Jamcckc, Paul Krakcr, Eddie Ko- sanke, Paul I .a Count, Clarence Lawrence. Frederick Mitherd. Florence Nichols. Leona Rosenbaum. Lydia Rosenbaum, Ruth Stoddard, Sadie Welsh. Bessie Williamson. Emil Werner, Leona Williamson, Hattie Wolbrandt, Warren Wright, and I. VV'c soon became acquainted with the faculty. Mr. Robertson. Mr. Alexander. Miss Kring, and Miss Hannon. Mr. Robertson instructed us in German and English, and Mr. Alexander in Algebra and Agriculture. Under Miss Kring’s careful guidance, we girls began to study Domestic Science and found it to be our second nature.” Clarence Lawrence. Jerry Danielson and Paul Kraker left our ranks l� eforc the Freshman year was completed. Eighteen returned next year as Sophomores, but l efore the term was finished a Higher Power claimed one of our dearest classmates, Ruth Stoddard. We enlisted this year as Juniors, being sixteen in number, but a new member, Edith Smith, was admitted to our ranks. We were all sorry to find Mr. Robertson missing from the faculty Ixiard. Mr. Alexander succeeded Mr. Robertson, and our new teacher. Miss Goodenough. was introduced to us. We girls were all delighted to find Room I) furnished with the necessary apparatus for the study of Domestic Science, and Miss Krueger in charge. Mr. Alexander instructed us in Mediaeval History and Com- mercial Arithmetic. German. Physical Geography and English, which Miss (kxxl- cnough taught, proved very interesting. Warren Wright deserted the Gass, but it is the hope and ambition of those who still remain, to become the wisef ?) Seniors of 1917. Agnes Lauek. 1917. P gt sixteen A Glimpse at the Future A tier I finished my education at Kouts High School I took ;t four-year course in Electrical Engineering at Purdue Uni- versity. Before beginning hard work 1 decided to travel abroad for a few years as a sort of vacation. When I had spent four years traveling in Europe and Africa. 1 returned to America. As electricity had always been my hobby I began to make im- provements m sonte of our modem electrical machinery. 1 soon grew tired of this and decided to invent and perfect something new. It was in 1933. in Los Angeles, after I had invented perpetual motion, that something wonderful happened to me. It was on August ninth, as I was slowly walking down Broadway deeply absorbed in my own thoughts, a loud crash came to me and ail was dark. I was immediately thrust into a deep dungeon with a very small light. Beside this light stood a small dwarf with a wand in bis hand He l eckoned to me and waved his hand; a picture l:cgan to form before my eyes. It was a liattlefield, and in one comer of the picture was a girl caring for a wounded soldier. Near her stood a Itandsome doctor. She turned her face. I gasped. and rushed toward the picture, but it had vanished. I iiad recognized the face to be that of Louise Kosankc. Before I could say a word another picture formed. It was in a fashionable part of Gticago. and here was a lady speaking to a large crowd. When she had finished the crowd l� cgan to cheer and seemed to choose her out of several as their leader. As this esteemed lady l egan to move 1 recognized her as Florence Boedekcr. who had always been a suffragette at school. The picture again vanished. 1 waited breathlessly, and I was not disappointed, as an- other picture formed and sweet music bejpn to play. I saw a lady playing the harp. Soon she began to sing. In all my travels in Europe 1 had never heart! such music. Could this be?—yes. it surely was Alice Krucll, who had always been so bashful about playing the piano at school. The picture vanished, and the music stopped suddenly. I again watched closely. This time a most wonderful paint- ing met my eyes. In one corner was the one word, Leonilla. As this picture began to vanish, the dwarf pushed me with his wand. When I 0] cned my eyes I found myself in a neat hospital, and as I stirred in my lied a nurse and doctor who were standing near rushed to my side. I started. Here indeed was Louise and the handsome doctor whom I had seen in the picture. This man I learned to know as I guise’s husband. I asked bow 1 happened to l c in the hospital. Ixniise said, You were run down by I.conilla’s touring car. Who is Leonilla?” I a ked. Ixjuise said. Why. that’s our old classmate, Clara Dctlefs. She is the most wonderful artist in the world. She showed me one of I.eonilla’s pictures, which I recognized as the one I had seen in the dungeon. As I was recovering in the hospital I had many callers, and among them was the esteemed Leonilla. We had a long talk and had a very pleasant afternoon together. When I had fully recovered 1 decided to follow the dwarf’s advice and find the rest of my classmates. I had not far to go. as I found Alice Krucll. busy with her music and entertaining foreign friends, in San Francisco. There yet remained Florence lioedekcr to find. After a long search 1 found her in New York, surrounded by her many friends and busy with the suffrage ques- tion. I found time to see her a few minutes and talked over old times. I told her how I had found my classmates of K. H. S. and thought it a very wonderful adventure.

Florence Boedeker. ’16. eighteen I : ‘Fige nineteen r -------------—— ---------------------—— - Sophomore Class History One fine autumn morning in September. 1914, a group of excited boys and girls gathered in the assembly room of the Kouts High School, ready to enroll as Freshmen. As members of our class there were twelve boys and nine girls, namely: Harry Maxwell. Wilbert Dunkel, Dorothy Ander- son. I .aura Kosankc, George Wandry, Anita Rosenbaum. Walter Thatcher. Bethel Wheeler, Leonard Pietsch. Harry Folsom. Cameron Betterton, Herrold Cannon. Josephine Cincoski. Jessie Rlachly. Dorothy Dctlcfs. Ruth Wandry. Jessie Mansfield. Marion Williamson. John Wandry. Hiram Berlin, and I. The teachers were then introduced to the school ami our work began. We were to take German. F.nglish and Zoology under Professor Rol crtson, and Algebra under Mr. Alexander. In German we studied in Y'os’s “Essentials and translated “Gluck Auf.” In English wc studied Rhetoric and read some interesting hooks. In Zoology wc learned how to dissect and learned the various names of the parts of fish, snakes, etc. Mr. Alexander taught us in Algebra, and he soon made us accustomed to finding the value of x. During the year the number of our class was lessened when Walter Thatcher moved away and entered another high school. We all kept struggling on to the end of the year hoping to be Sophomores next year and never to be “Freshies” again. In the autumn of 1915 wc returned as Sophomores. Count- ing over our number we found that six had left us. We found ourselves under Miss Goodcnough’s guidance in English and wc studied hard on our various works. In German we still studied in our Vos's “Essentials” and translated several interesting books. This year we were taught Geometry instead of Algebra by Professor Alexander. In this we learned how to bisect angles and other similar easy( ?) things. The hoys of the class took Agriculture under Professor Alexander, hoping to be great farmers some day. while the girls took Domestic Science under Miss Krueger. Nearly all the pupils are still in the class, and may they all remain until the year nincteen-eighteen. which will be the last year of our career in high school. Enw i n Koester, ’ 18. K. H.

The error of this idea will be considered here. The value of these activities would seem to some to be of necessity limited to those who engage in them: while the latter no doubt arc benefited to a great degree, there are l enefits which accrue to the school as a whole. Consider the high school year l ook. The publication of such a volume is beneficial for three reasons: First, for business experience the members of the board gain which they might not otherwise receive: secondly, its value as a remembrance—some- thing to look back to in after years: ami thirdly, it offers an opportunity which develops personality in the individuals. Many times young people are forced for any one of many reasons to forego the pursuit of education any further after they have completed a high school course and are thrown on their own resources without any business experience whatever. They arc necessarily handicapped. The training given them by the soliciting of advertising teaches what they would otherwise learn by hard knocks. Further, the class as a rule becomes scattered within a few years after graduation. It is indeed pleasant to be able after the laj sc of several years to pick up a volume and seem- cPjige bwtnly-fivt ng a High School Year Book ingly turn back the last few pages of one’s life and l� c again amid the scenes which were so enjoyed. Without the year lx o this would he exceedingly difficult if not impossible, for while one might remember a few scenes or a few faces, by far the majority would Ik lost forever. This work also serves to develop the personality of the cla's which otherwise would remain latent or unknown. Oftentimes some meml er is called upon to furnish material for the year I rook. It is his belief that he is not com|K tent to fulfill the tas!. set for him. trial or two shows that he is not only able to do it but do it well and sometimes he adopts writing as his life’s work. Again in the soliciting of advertising or other contracts in connection with a year book, the student is thrown in touch with a number of men actively engaged in business. Mis |K r- sonality makes an impression and he is tendered a position. l-ack of sj ace will not permit going into further detail, nor indeed do we think it necessary, if one could not l e convinced of the value of this activity by the arguments set forth. It gives business experience which is necessary to any sue cessful undertaking. It is an aid in remem! ermg friendships, and without friendships life is nothing but bare existence and lastly it offers an oj portunity for developing of personality which is one of the most essential things in a successful life. (jurist: Kosakke. '16. Page hventy six (Athletics Athletics at the Kouts High School «luring the season of 1915 16 did not make a very good showing. The main sport taken up was basket ball. Owing to the small number of large boys in High School the captain was rather at loss when it came to appointing the substitutes. The live on the team were: I-a Count, Maxwell, Werner, Wright and Dunkel. I .a Count, the captain, who is believed to l e the heaviest center in Northern Indiana, always outjumps his opponent and is always over the field in a moment. He guards his opponent well, and very few baskets are made by his man. Iai Count is a crack at shooting baskets, for he can make them from any point in the field. Maxwell, who plays right guard is one of the heaviest guards in Northern Indiana. Although he is not so good in making goals, he always guards his man well and few baskets were made by his opponent. Dunkel, the left guard, is the hardest working player on the team. He tries to guard his man very closely but sometimes fails to move quickly enough. Werner, always there with the fighting pirit, is one of the best light forwards on the field. He is somewhat light and is pushed about a good deal, but once he has a chance to shoot it means a score for old K. H. S. Wright, the left forward, is the equal of Werner, except in making goals, but it has been necessary for him to stop playing on account of his ill health. The record of the team for the season was five straight de- feats. The boys all had the right spirit but could not succeed. During the first half of the games played, the local team was generally left far behind, but in the last half the boys gained rapidly. The team thought of playing all winter, but as no place to play indoors could be obtained all hopes were given up and the team disbanded for the season. Next year's team will be made up of four of this year’s players and there will be three or four others that will be able to play as substitutes. It is hoped that in a few years Kouts High School will have a very good team for all of the small boys have taken an interest in the game. At the time of this writing, there is some talk that a track team will be organized and it is hoped that this will soon take place as we have some very good runners and jumpers in the school who would do their best to make the undertaking a success. Edwin Koester, T8. P ge ftixnty-seven ,______ cMemories of High School Days Happy, happy High School days Soon will all be past; When Seniors take their separate ways On life’s broad field at last. We've trod the path of those before us Nor did we hesitate To fill those places left for us With honors large and great. We hope, we trust, we pray, As through this world we go. To hold in Glory's ray Honors that we may show. Let the hours Ik filled with what will la t. New tasks each day begun ; And with the memories of the | ast Hope comes to everyone.

Senior Class, 1916. cPa j twtnly-nine Freshman girl in cooking class: “Merciful heavens! that pic is burning and I can’t take it out for ten minutes yet.” “What docs this sentence mean?” asked Miss Goodenough, “Man proposes, but God disposes.” A Freshman l� y waved his hand frantically. “Well, what docs it mean?” Freshman Boy: It means that a man might ask a woman to marry him, but only the Lord knows whether she will or not.” Mr. Alexander: “Fred, what were the causes of the Revolu- tionary War?” Fred: “It had something to do with automobiles, but I did not understand just what.” “Oh my no!” replied Mr. Alex. “That was before the lny of automobiles.” Fred, firmly: “Well, it said it was on account of unjust taxes.” WANTED ITS NAME One of the primary boys looking through the windows of the Domestic Science room asked the cooking class what kind of pie they were making? “Lemon meringue pic.” The little follow disappeared, but presently returned, “Say. what did you say is the pie’s middle name ?” “Archimedes.” read Bertha aloud, “leaped from his bath, shouting ‘Eureka! Eureka!’ ” )ne moment. Bertha.” said Alex. “What is the meaning of Eureka? ” “ ‘Eureka’ means ‘have found it.’ ’’ replied Bertha. “Very well, what had Archimedes found?” Bertha hesitated a moment, then ventured hopefully: “The soap.” One day the Seniors were talking about having their pic- tures taken and who was going to take them. A Freshman girl was heard to remark, “When We are Seniors we will go to Chicago and have a specialist take our pictures for our annual. Now. Ilarrv,” said Miss (ioodenuugh, ‘‘what is simile?” Harry hesitated, visibly, “I—1—I torgit now,” he finally answered. “But if you said ‘My hours at school arc as bright as sun- shine. what figure of speech would that be?” “Irony,” answered Harry. Mr. l’ahl: “What liave you there, son?” Louis: “Ten beans.” Mr. I’.: “Do you mean dollars?” I.ouis: “Yep.” Mr. I’.: “Why don’t you call money by its right name?” I-nuis: “Ain’t beans a good enough name ior money?” Mr. 1’.: “Not for you. You never plant any.” Florence B. sat licforc her glass and gazed long and earnestly at the reflection there. She screwed up her face in many ways. She puffed up her hair, then smoothed it down again. She raised her eyes and lowered them. She showed her teeth and then she pressed her lips tightly together. At last she got up with a weary sigh and said. “It’s no use. I’ll be some kind of a re- former.” I-ouis Pahl. with narrow striped clothes, saddle colored shoes, a loud necktie, hair | artcd over his nose and smoking a cigarette, addressed Louise thus: “If I were you and you were me. what would you do?” She unhesitatingly said. “I would take off that hideous tic. put that cigarette in the stove, part my hair on the side, then pray for brains.” r 'Page thirty-one “Mother,” said Florence one day, “the piano is really my very own, isn’t it?” “Why yes, my dear.” “And when 1 marry.” she continued, “I can take it with me. can’t I?” “Certainly, my dear.” replied Mrs. Boedeker. but don’t tell anyone, it might injure your chances.” February 28. “Dear Clara—I have a very serious question to ask you ami a great deal depends upon your answer. I can’t tell you how 1 hate to ask you to pass judgment on such a question, and it was only after a long time I decided to write to you on this matter. Really I haven’t slept for months, and all the girls tell me I act so queer, it seems as though 1 ought to get some advice and comfort somewhere. 1 have received several letter from one at home, you know who. and it really scares me to think of it. I am in a great deal of trouble, and I can’t tell you exactly how it hap| cned, but it i' a matter over which many other girls have been in the same boat. Somehow. I always thought I was above the rest along that line, but it seems not. Honestly, if there were any way out of it. J wouldn’t bring this to you. 1 can’t consult my mother, because, well, she might not understand, and 1 know while dad would symuathizc, he wouldn’t see it from the same point of view as you will. “We have always talked things over so freely to each other and somehow you seem closer to me than any of the other girls. I certainly never imagined that such questions ami problems would ever come up before a girl away from home. I always thought 1 knew a great deal about the world, but I see I don't. 1 am counting on our long friendship to help me through this trouble. I would rather tell it to you in person, hut that’s impossible, and it must he settled now Think it over seriously. Please tell no one. Do you honestly think that Jeff will ever be as tall as Mutt ? “Please write soon and advise, “Alice.” WHO IS TO BLAMK? “Not we.” the rulers shout. “And how the war has come about. We can’t make out.” “Not we,” statesmen protest. “Our wish for peace we oft express, Wc did our best.” “Not wc.” the nations cry— Across the sea. denials fly Incessantly. And mid the Babel still The toilers a-k in mine and mill Who’ll pay the bill. NOT DOING IT ON PURPOSE Didn't you say there were accidentals in that music?” asked Miss Hannon. A great many.” answered Frederick, who has musical am- bitions. Well it is a great comfort to know that you were not doing it on purpose.” ABYSMAL SADNESS Of all sad words of tongue or pen For which wc | ay good money. The saddest is dramatic dope When the critic thinks he’s funny. Louis: You will excuse me. I never learned geometry. Squire: “Geometry nothing! It is only the plain truth I'm telling you!” Louis: “Yes: but you tell it by so many different angles that it sounds to me like geometry.” ‘Pace thirty-truo The biggest joke of all is the freshman. One morning room C” was very cold. When Mr. Alex- ander came to “Civics” we were all around the radiator. Mr. Alex: 1 think you arc very unkind, not leaving a place for me. Florence B.: “Come over here by me and keep me warm.” Mr. Alex.: 1 would if I wasn't a married man. Miss (loodcnough: “Leona, use 'accelerate’ correctly in a sentence.” Leona R.: He accelerated to the doctor.” Mr. Alex . in (geometry: “Harry, what is locus? Harry M.: “A locus is a bug that comes every seven years.” Miss (j.: Bessie, use the word tenuous correctly in a sen- tence.” Bessie W.: The girl is tenuous.” Agnes I..: “Did you ever take chloroform?” Billy Abraham: No! who teaches it?” Miss Goodcnnugh entertained the Senior and Junior English classes with the following: “If I ’a known You’d wish’d to went I’d seen you’d Got to gone.” BETWEEN TWO FIRES Souirc to Paul. I'm in trouble with my girl.” “What is wrong now ?” asked Paul. “I’ve l ccn saying such nice things to her that she’s getting conceited. Now, if I stop she'll think I don't care for her anv more, and if I go on she’ll think she’s too good for inc.” One day one of the Freshmen was very ill. They called the doctor in and said he had the lagrippe. The patient became excited and said, “Say doctor is the grip contagious?” The doctor replied, “Well, all traveling men carry it.” VERY HARD WATER Is the water where you live hard or soft?” asked Miss K rueger. It must be pretty hard. replied Jessie. “I spattered some of it on the lamp chimney the other night and it broke all to pieces.” ‘Dear teacher. wrote Ixiuisc's mother, please excuse Louise for not coming to school yesterday. She fell in the mud. By doing the same you will greatly oblige. Her Mother. A MODERN VERSION Maud Muller on a summer's day. Raked the meadow sweet with hay. The judge chugged by with the usual fuss. This time in a jolting old jitney bus. But Maude snickered from afar. As her eye caught sight of the ancient car. She bent her head and raked the grass. And all unnoticed, let him pass. I And quoth, as she gave the hay a pat, “He can’t win me with a rig like that!” While the judge, with a sigh, sped on and on. And moaned. There’s another nickel gone!
