How on the first of September in ’22 Twenty green Freshies entered two by two, With six now left the tale to tell Hote one by one by the wayside they fell. The green leaves of summer were tinted with the bright shades of autumn when we entered the old K. H. S. as Freshies. We were as green as others had been before us and waited in the hall until the ringing of the last bell bade us enter. Making a mad rush to get the remaining back seats we were disappointed to learn that the front seats were assigned to Freshies. The first day we became acquainted with each other and learned that our class consisted of twenty members; namely, Louise Johnson, Helen Knopinski, Helen Griffith, Helen Collier, Alice Griffith, Ruby Goodpaster, Mae Noggle, Lucille Kosanke, Evelyn Kamrad, Laurette Lyon, Mildred James, Bernice Wolfiom, Albertena Landfadt, Roy Wandry, Lewis Hiland, John Herring, Cecil Apgar, Lionel Finney, Harold Clause and Leila Rosen- baum. We next became acquainted with our faculty and learned that Mr. Bell taught French; Miss Moran, English; Miss Kruell, Domestic Science and Mr. Bryan, Algebra. “Oh,” we thought (and still think) “if only we could meet the man who introduced Algebra into our schools?” At the end of the second month Mr. Bryan left and Mr. Glenn took his place. It was during our first year that we received 100 per cent in deportment and acquired the name of “The Most Ambitious Class Ever In School,” a name to which we still adhere. The following fall we returned but part of our class was missing, Mae Noggle and Lionel Finney were going to the Morgan High School, John Herring, Harold Clause, Ruby Goodpaster and Albertena Landfadt had also drifted away, but Ancil Beall was added to our ranks. This year Mr. Roberts taught mathematics; Miss Moran, History; and Miss Jones, French and Geography. To the disappointment of all Miss Kruell and Miss Shortz did not have any of our classes. Again we received high grades and were progressing well, when Mr. Roberts resigned and Mr. Burrus took his place. This year much of our bashfulness had vanished and we even ventured to whisper when no teacher was present. The third year we were seven. Laurette Lyon had joined the ma- trimonial ranks, Evelyn Kamrad was going to school in Chicago, Lucille Kosanke was taking a business course in Michigan City, Alice Griffith was attending the South Bend Business College and Helen Collier, Helen Griffith and Bernice Wolfrom were also missing. We did not know of their intentions but were sure of hearing from them in future years. Twenty ::::::::::::::::: : n::::::::: Our curriculum this year consisted of United States History by Miss Hutton; American Literature by Miss Coleman; and Algebra by Mr. Baker. Here our paths divided and some took Geometry by Mr. Baker and others Economics by Miss Hutton. Mrs. Dorney taught music and Miss Kruell had the pleasure of keeping Assembly several periods while we were present. It was during our Junior Year that we acquired fame in “Dramatics” by presenting the play entitled, “Am 1 Intruding,” under the splendid coaching of Miss Coleman. Our fourth and last year has proved to be the best of all. Our saddest thought is that Mildred James is no longer with us. Mr. Vaughn teaches Bookkeeping and Physics and Miss Sheffield English Literature, Vocational Information and Civics. Miss Coleman, now Mrs. Lesinsky, Miss Kruell and Mrs. Dorney were back again, but having their hands full of Freshies and Sophomores, did not get the Senior Classes. At the end of the second month. Mrs. Dorney left and Mrs. Zimmerman took her place. This year we have set the example of Dignified Seniors in the hope that our lower classmates will follow us. We have worked hard and with the aid of our parents and teachers hope to go forth in May with smiling faces and carrying our dipk mas, to face the world and always remember our Motto, “Through Trials to Triumph.” Leila Rosenbaum ’26. :: :: :: :::::::::::::::::::::::::;::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: m :::: : :u m Twenty-one ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :rrrr txxxiiEEESaog 1 i CLASS PROPHECY 1 Last week, while 1 was driving along in my car, I began wondering what the future had in store for the best class that ever darkened the doors of old K. H. S. Presently, while I was still deep in thought, I saw something white in front of me. Being anxious to learn what this was, I pressed hard on the accelerator. Soon I could see several white tents, covered wagons, and horses. Close by a bright fire was burning. A band of Gypsies was gather- ed around the fire. The girls and women were all arrayed in their bright colors of red, yellow, and green. The gleam of the campfire played on their sleek black braided hair, and on large earrings of yellow gold which had probably been handed down from mother to daughter for hundreds of years. Where the campfire threw its brightest light, several couples of Gypsies were dancing the old tribal dance. The jangle of the tambourines, the swish of the many colored skirts, the smile of the dusky Gypsy maidens, and the hilarity of the swarthy youths gave evidence that philosophers have been right in main- taining that a Gypsy knows no care. Apart from the wild exuberance of the Gypsy youths sat an old woman gazing into a crystal ball. Getting out of the car I went towards the place where she was. She seemed to divine the purpose of my coming. Moving over, she motioned for me to sit beside her. “The class of ’26, K. H. S.,” I said. Her mumbled chant began. I looked into the ball and things began to assume form. At first I could discern nothing but an indefinite mass of white. Looking closer, things began to take shape more clearly. 1 could see an object which took the form of a man. He was garbed in a scientist’s uni- form and wore rubber gloves on his hands. Before him was placed an apparatus which seemed to be very complicated and puzzling to his broad mind. Presently, he ran his hand through his hair and yawned. Instantly I began to believe that at last I had found a clue to his identity. Here was our old friend, Ancil Beall, trying to discover what makes a Ford rattle. As I peered into the glass again, the vision of Ancil disappeared and in its place I could discern a faint object that looked like a large patch of green grass covered with beautiful flowers fenced in by a large hedge. 1 saw a man standing in the middle of the field with his arms about some- thing, which was white, soft, and fluffy, and had bright sparkling eyes. Looking again I saw the coy, fluffy, little thing shake its head coquettishly and turn its eyes towards those of our old classmate, Lewis Hiland. This was Lady White Fluff, the world’s prize winner of the world egg laying contest, and our Lewis was her proud owner. She belonged to his large poultry farm south of Kouts. The chant of the Gypsy continued. The scene began to fade away. Gradually another one took form in which the central figure was a beauti- ful woman in a costume of sunny Spain. The senorita’s hair was dressed after the usual Spanish fashion. Upon her head was a beautiful lace 0 :: '3 3 3 3! 3.3.2.; Twenty-two r:: : : :r: : mantilla. A crowd was trying to push its way through the many flowers around her. She took her hands and pushed back the bouquets so that the people might gather near her. The scene was located in a magnificant dressing room back of the Metropolitan Opera House. All at once a smile came over the face of the beautiful woman, and I recognized my old pal and classmate, Leila Rosenbaum. She was the greatest Prima Donna in the world. With her baby daughter, Dolores Carmencita, she was living in New York with her Italian husband, the conductor of the new Philhar- monic orchestra. Next to appear was a large massive building, located in a progres- sive and beautiful city. Everybody seemed to be hurrying and rushing about. Something of importance seemed to be happening. I could see a tall, thin, blonde man standing on a platform. He was demonstrating a new combination of coffee grinder and vacuum cleaner. The large build- ing, which at first seemed dim, now took on a clearer appearance, and I was able to see that it bore this sign, “The Wandry Dept. Store, 271 South Sixth St., Evansville, Indiana.” Of course, the tall man with the combina- tion coffee grinder and vacuum cleaner was none other than our easy-going old Roy. I was so astonished at what I had just seen that I scarcely noticed that the scene which had so surprised and thrilled me, was giving place to another. 1 saw a room full of people, leaning foreward in breathless and eager anticipation. There was the judge with his gavel by his side. Attorneys were sitting at tables, with their faces streaked with perspira- tion and showing signs of the strain which a hard-fought legal battle al- ways brings. The man accused of murder slumped down between his guards, as the star witness was being entangled in a mesh of conflicting answers. The rapid, fire questions which were being shot at him by the prosecuting attorney, who, 1 saw, was our fellow classmate, Helen Knopin- ski. Things moved swiftly. The questioning stopped. The lawyers made speeches. 1 felt a shudder run over me when I heard the voice, that used to admonish the class of '26, saying, “Gentlemen of the Jury, 1 demand the death penalty for this man.” Things kept moving swiftly. The speeches were over. The dooomed man was led away. As of old, Helen had gained her point and had lent to justice a helping hand. Still looking into the crystal ball 1 saw myself in the white uniform of a hospital nurse. Thanking the old woman and pressing something into her hand, 1 happily slipped away from the camp. Because of what I saw 1 now looked toward the future with great anticipation. What could be nicer than for me, Louise Johnson, to spend my life making life inter- esting for sick, feverish people and handsome young internes. Louise Johnson ’26. It U I!

Twenty-four ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: SENIOR POEM “Through Trials To Triumph” Four long years have been spent studying and climbing, And from our duty we never did shirk; Even though in trouble, we were always smiling, Trying to be first in our work. Our teachers have toiled with us from day to day. Making our greatest task seem a pleasure. And now we appreciate it in every way. Holding it dear—as a treasure. The days we have spent in the classroom together, In our memories will always be clear. We will think of them as days that were better, And to us they will be most dear. Time will soon tell if our work was in vain; As task after task we shall encounter Bach lifting us to a higher plane, We cannot expect to escape without a ponder. We take leave of our dear old school And stand on the threshold of our greatest task. We can face it bravely for we have our scroll All the knowledge we acquired from the past. O’er the mountains and hills we have climbed. Finding school life a rough and strong road. All the days we have counted and timed As we looked forward into life’s abode.

You go first.” “I’m afraid of that teacher up there, and say, he has got a twinkle in his eye. But then high school won’t be as bad as we think it is.” Thus spoke two little Freshies, pure and simple, but ready for their high school career. The Freshman Class; namely, Mae Bennet, Herbert E lenson, Edith Pietsch, Marshall Sommers, Marion Titus, Cecil Wise, Edna Knolls, Robert Biggart, Alice Miller, Robert Hofferth, Mildred Schneken- buiger, Howard Mockler, LaVerne Cannon, Alice Rosenbaum, Nettie Wer- ner, El'a Weisjahn, Emma Herring, Mabel Werner, Ernest Shultz, and Gladys Knolls, were assembled in the hall trying to gain courage to enter the Assembly. Although the Class was at first timid and bashful, they entered the high school with the purpose to face the future and win in their endeavor. We began Algebra and Latin under Mr. Roberts, and completed ' these courses under Mr. Burrus. Miss Kruell was our instructor in Domes- tic Science and Miss Shortz in English. We also took a special course in note writing and semi-oral English, commonly called whispering. Of course, this made some of our study periods very short. Soon after the beginning of the second semester Ernest Shultz and Howard Mockler felt the call of the wild and left our illustrious group. Indeed, the Freshmen Class was glad to enter K. H. S. as Sopho- mores. Alice Miller had left us to attend school at Tefft, and Herbert Ellen- son is finishing his high school at Hebron. Marshall Sommers, preferred to say, “Whoa” and ‘Giddap” to “Old Dobbin,” rather than chant “Gallia est omnia divisa in partes tres,” so they were among the missing. Edna Knolls and Mildred Schnekenburger decided to pursue a career outside of school. Cecil Wise and Bob Biggart contracted the “absentitis” in such a bad form that they did not recover. Ella Weisjahn was forced to quit school on account of sickness, and Mae Bennet left us because her parents moved to Gary. We were taught Geometry by Mr. Baker, English Litera- ture and Caesar by Miss Coleman, History of Music by Mrs. Dorney, and General History by Miss Hutton. Since we needed an extra subject we took a special course in gum chewing and shooting paper projectiles. Strange to say we sometimes suffered much from the hands of the faculty on account of our devotion to these subjects. This year we are nine girls and henceforth our history will be, not a record of past events of man, but of woman. Bob Hofferth, our only re- maining boy, we had to leave with the Sophomores. Marion Hopkins from Rensselaer, joined the Junior Class and our old classmate, Alice Miller, again decided to join us at K. H. S. Mr. Vaughn is teaching the “Daunt- less Nine,” Bookkeeping; Mrs. Lesinsky, Cicero and American Literature; Miss Sheffield, Commercial Geography, United States History and Business English. Having gained profficiency in gum chewing, the class took an advanced course in this subject much to the disgust of the teachers (when they see it). With all our discouragements and hardships, high school has been interesting, and we have all had fun, together with work. It has helped us much in our preparation for life’s battles, and we are looking forward to our Senior year with great anticipation. Gladys Knolls ’27. ::::::::::::::::::::::: Thirty-one :zi i. .--------------------- JUNIOR CLASS POEM “Twinkle, twinkle, little A,” Mabel sadly smiles and asks, “Now I wonder if you’ve come to stay” After a month’s resolution we find Mabel satisfied at last. Other fellows—(I won’t name them) Think you’re darling—(I don’t blame them) But to love Emma means blues, worries and trouble. We adore you, we adore you, so we say it double. We used to think of Marion T. as quite demure, But now with lighted lanterns her and hers sail the Milky Way, And, when Dawn appears they sail away, And we Juniors after this will not be so sure. She does not know who Caesar was, Nor when Columbus sailed the seas, She may for all she says and does, Think Shakespeare is a kind of cheese. Now gentle reader don’t commence, To say you think ’tis a pity, To live in ignorance so dense, You see ’tis LaVerne and she’s pretty When suddenly the sun darts thru, When joy and happiness we’ve mixed with sorrow, It’s vain to me, So Edith says, “Worry not. We’re here today and gone tomorrow.’ Marion H. in the assembly once did fall, She lit hard on the hardwood floor, Then you should have heard her bawl, And we all yelled, “More, More.” Gladys is quite a fool at folly, But even at that is quite a girlish maid, And when she pulls a joke is quite jolly, And we all wish she had longer stayed. Alice R. is quite a spinster, At least she wants to be. When mad she reminds one of pepper or ginger, But she’ll make a good wife you wait and see. Alice M. no one is sweeter than you, When you’re working a cross word puzzle, Trying to solve a love word with just letters two, And finally come to the word, M-u-z-z-l-e.

As most Freshmen, we studied diligently for a month or two, but we soon got over cur timidity and from then on got D— in self control. As winter approached Jeanette Detlefs, Dorothy Griffith and Ewalt Jahnz decided they wanted to go to work so they left. In about the middle of the second semester Herman Rosenbaum, Joseph Adams, Earl Heaton and Maynard Hendrickson decided to quit and seek employment. Clarence Greiger, who was in an accident had to leave us, so there were only nine of us left. James Prevo and John Diskivish could not pass the exams so we left them early in May as Freshmen. On September 7th, 1925, six of the former Freshies entered the assembly of the Routs High School as Sophomores. There we found Robert Hofferth, who did not make the necessary credits to become a Junior, waiting for us. A week later Kenneth Perry joined us. As the school term is drawing to a close we are still eight. We are all hoping that we will pass the exams. Maurice Pumroy ’28. A POEM About a hundred years ago, Before you and 1 were here, The men put powder in their guns, To go and hunt the deer. But the olden times have changed To meet the modern plan For dear puts powder on her face, To go and hunt the man. Pinney Sommers ’28. Thirty-five SOPHOMORE POEM Thayne Beall, president of our class, A question asked him will never pass He’s the captain of our five, Believe me on the court, he’s generally alive. Kenneth Perry as jumping center Hardly lets the opponent team enter Yet as those Wheeler girls pass by Ken’s heart jumps, he gives a sigh. Melba Rosenbaum first in sports and study Always laughing, always ready, Her studies always seem elective. Some folks say she’d make a detective. Mary Reinhardt small yet growing Never stops on account ’tis snowing Winter mornings, cold and icy She drove to school, a fair young lassie. Maurice Pumroy our Caesar student Never slacks nor the least bit prudent He works Geometry for his pastime, Taking such an interest, hardly stops to recline, Lawrence Knopinski willing to work Deprives himself of no desire Yet on the stage as “Racker” All the people say he’s no slacker. Robert Hofferth always at work and never at play, His motto is, “While the sun shines make hay,” He could get a hundred each day, But Bob says that’s too much pay. : Pinney Sommers good and true, And to our class he’s true blue.

FRESHMAN HISTORY ? • • • t • • � • •• • • t • « • • • In a large measure all class historians have the same task. Out- class is much like the classes that have gone before. Our homes are much the same as others; our trials and difficulties have been like theirs; and no doubt our ambitions and outlook upon the future are not unlike theirs when they stood where we now stand. This body of twenty-eight knowledge seekers, armed with all the weapons for a Freshman contest, entered the Kouts High School to begin an earnest and zealous battle with books. Of this number there were fifteen girls and thirteen boys; Mrs. Dorney being our class supervisor. Owing to her resignation, Miss Kruell became our supervisor. The good fortune of always keeping so large a class was not to be had, for seven worthy members dropped out; namely, Clifford Birky, Daniel Heiniger, Lillian Weisjahn, Dorothy Scherman, Dorothy Spiess, John Diskivish, and Maynard Hendrickson. We are all looking forward to the next three years with great pleasure. There will be hard work and many difficulties, but those who are striving for a higher ideal in life will surely overcome these. When we are Seniors we can look back on the many happy days that we have spent together, days in which we have overcome the little difficulties that arose, and accomplished the work that now is before us.

EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY V? ?;? • On a beautiful September day in 1918, Stewart Hofferth, Carl Gordon, Charleen Cannon, Neal Pumroy, Dorothy Steinke, Leslie Sommers, Robert Rosenbaum, George Glissman, Howard Murphy, Lester Starkey, and 1 treaded timidly and with uncertain steps into the Primary room of the Kouts school. There we were met by Miss Witham, and using the words of the author, “Her kindly smile soon gave us to know we had nothing to dread.” Under her guiding hand our first lessons were learned thorough- ly and a love of learning was instilled with in us. Due to her untiring efforts the next fall found us assembled in the Second and Third grade room and here under the able directions of the Misses Mount and Blachly we passed'our second and third year very serenely and studiously. The fall of 1921 found us triumphantly entering the fourth and fifth grade room. Here the lessons of those grades were carefully and thoroughly impressed upon our minds by Mrs. Brunner. Then feeling very grown up, indeed, we entered the sixth and seventh. Knowledge comes by steps and now truthfully it did. Here our work took on greater proportions but we were amply fortified for that by the foundation laid in former years and so after putting forth our best efforts and cooperat- ing with our genial teacher, Mrs. Reif, arrived safely in the eighth grade. As a snow ball rolling down hill, we gained in size until the present class numbers thirty. The newly added members are: Miriam Beall, Nellie Good, Elmer Adams, Raymond Adams, Marie Glissman, John Gramps, Gilbert Hefron, Esther Jahnz, Earl Marti, Mary Martin, Lester Martin, Lorna Miller, Gladys Pumroy, George Rueger, Edgar Redelman, Gilbert Swing, Ernest Harris, Carl Schnekenburger, Theodore Schroeder, and Nellie Trinosky. .Just recently John Gramps and Nellie Trinosky have withdrawn and the remaining members under the careful supervision of Mrs. Zimmerman, Miss Kruell and Mr. Vaughn, striving to success- fully complete the present year.

J33 !.! 11,34 Forty-five Forty-six :::::::::::::::::: DRAMATICS The music was playing, the curtain rising and six Juniors with the aid of six members of other classes were beginning to feel their knees shake and their voices—well it just seemed as if they had forgotten every- thing they knew. But why? The Class of ’26—then Juniors, was present- ing, “Am 1 Intruding” and it was their first appearance on the stage. The music stopped and like magic all awe and bashfulness vanished and the audience was applauding every minute. It was this play which gave us a name and fame in Dramatics. Much of the wonderful success was due to the help of our coach. Miss May Coleman. Shortly afterwards the Glee Club gave an operetta entitled, “Miss Caruther’s Return” with Mrs. Dorney as coach, and the Basket Ball Team presented, “A Poor Married Man.” Both were a decided success. This year we have been able to prove the real Dramatic ability of our class in, “The Mummy and The Mumps.” Miss Coleman, now Mrs. Lesinsky, again coached our play and we are certainly indebted to her for all she did for us. Our success and experience of last year helped us make our Senior play the best ever put on in school. At least that is what others tell us and what we want to believe. The Athletic Association play, “Can’t Keep a Good Man Down” was a great success also. Miss Shellield’s ability as coach as a decided factor in the success of this play. The Glee Club appeared this yeai in its second annual operetta entitled, “Lady Francis. I he ( lass of 27 closed the Dramatic season with its Junior Class Play, Betty s Last Bet.

That’s the Kouts Basket Ball Team Our net tossers played good basket ball although they were handicapped due to the fact that they had no gym. Our regluars and subs are a care-free bunch of hardy youths full of pep and life. Although we lost the greater percentage of our games we had that fighting spirit that has pulled many a team through to victory. Next year we hope to have a gym and then— Hard luck was with us all through the season with the exception of a few breaks. We were followed by old man “Hard Luck,” himself, and we could not get rid of him. The Kouts High School Athletic Association presented the team with sweaters this year, an honor never bestowed on the Kouts team before. Although we did not shine this year, we hope to have a gym next year and show people what Kouts can do. Thayne Beall ’28.

With the ringing of the last bell, vacation was over and we were all in our places. Once more, of course, we could not sit still until the new teachers appear- ed. Our curosity was soon satis- fied and Mr. Vaughn followed by Miss Sheffield entered. Annual election of officers and speeches by president and vice- president. Very easy for the Sen- iors, but the poor little Freshies actually shivered. Mr. Vaughn declared before the Assembly that the Seniors are “Star Gazers.” We wonder what he means. Organization of Athletic Associa- tion. Speeches by Ancil Beall and Harold Ford, who were elected president and vice-president. The treasurer spent the rest of the year collecting dues. OCTOBER Leila and Louise are so glad to see each other after the week end that they do not realize that Mr. Vaughn is making a speech, until he requests that they take the floor. Election of Cheer Leaders and more speeches. Louise said sh thought athletics good because i. took the kids’ minds off their studies. The girls tried basket ball. Who ever thought they could be so awk- ward? Ancil gave a talk on the “Marine Band” which he heard in Valpo yesterday. Jim, Thayne, and Ken on the war path. Jim said a declarative sent- ence asks a question, but Ken in sists on correct grammar. They had a boxing round in the Assemb- ly, but we don’t know who got licked as both were carried home. Talk about holidays. The Civics class and other members went to Valpo to see the big gun but ar- rived two days too early. Miss Sheffield treated us at the Rainbow. The gun finally arrived. We stood wide-eyed and opened-mouthed as the great piece of artillery lifted in air. The girls bought out the ten cent candy counter and treated between classes. NOVEMBER Basket ball boys gave a Box social, naturally the girls did the work by bringing boxes. Everyone turn- ed childish and had a good time. Poor Jim, he and Bob Hoflferth loose their temper and have to apologize before the Assembly. They failed the first time, but be- come serious and succeed the sec- ond. 7. At last Thayne, Ken, and Jim are on speaking terms again. Even the girls have kissed and made up. Wonder why? Jim is on the B. B. team once more. 11. 8th anniversary of the signing of the “Armistice.” Promptly at 11 everyone faced the east for one minute. This was followed by a program cleverly arranged by Miss Sheffield. Our girls B. B. team went to Morgan to practice. The Morgan girls served our girls lunch. 25. The day before Thanksgiving, and of course we had to celebrate, led by Mrs. Lesinsky. The girls won their first B. B. game. They play- ed Tefft at Boone Grove. 30. Mr. Vaughn gave the girls a half holiday because of their skill dis- played at Boone Grove last Friday night. DECEMBER 4. We, Seniors, advertised our play. We made Morgan and Valpo all right, but, Oh, My! We had a blow- out in the middle of a mud puddle near Boone Grove. Our ever ready mechanics, Ancil and Lewis, came to our rescue but hardly had we started before we were stuck in the mud. We finally reached home safe and sound. 8. Such a day of excitment, every- body running in all directions, get- ting ready for our play. 9. The play surely was a success. Everybody still excited over it. Miss Sheffield gave her Vocational In- formation class a scare by faint- ing. 11. A race begins to see who can reach the moon first by selling the most “Country Gentlemen.” There are three divisions the Red, led by Alice Miller; the Green led by Lewis Hiland; and the Orange led by Leila. 15. The Greens got Xo the Moon, but their curosity was the real cause. Someone told them the moon was made of “Green Cheese.” Mrs. Lesinsky is sick, and Miss Sheffield goes to a funeral; so we almost have a holiday. 16. Why was everyone’s face so long? Of course, final exams. The Sen- iors get their class rings. Louise and Leila tried to get theirs first but almost did not get them at all. Mr. Vaughn catches them on their way. 23. Christmas celebation in school. Santa Claus came to Kouts a day 1 .. •; .. .. M m si ..

Ken surely made a dan- dy one too. We had a Christmas gift exchange and Santa presented everyone in the Assembly with a present. Each class pave its class sponsor a gift also. JANUARY Play time is over and work started. Bob Hofferth makes a New Year’s Resolution, and then Mr. Vauphn catches him breakinp it. He is suspended from school three days for smokinp on the school pround. Miss Sheffield was absent and Ancil taupht her Senior classes. Who had to leave class most? My! Wasn’t Enplish quiet? The County Tournament. Most all the school went to ValpO Surely some ride on Sapers. The Freshies pave a sleiphinp party We wonder what really happened? FEBRUARY All the Basket Ball boys made speeches about their new sweaters. Poor Dutch, he trembled and look- ed up as if looking for help from above. Are their heads swelled or do we only imapine it? The Junior Dance. Everyone present reported a very pood time. Alice Miller told us about the play, “The Goose hangs High” and Leila “Her Honor, the Mayor,” which they saw in Valpo and Morgan re- spectively. Marion Hopkins walks across the Assembly and is so en- grossed in watching Ewalt that she falls over the radiator which is back of his seat. Mr. Vauphn threatened to keep the Bookkeeping class till 12:30. We don’t know who did the talking, but we all had to stay. He must have been hungry, as we were dis- missed at 12:02, and by the time we reached the Assembly, we saw him rush madly through Haniann’s back door. Spelling contest opened. Eighth grade beat the Freshies, Miriam Beall was the best speller on the floor. We made our first attempt at get- ting “ads.” Talk about talking, we surely did our share. Eighth grade beat the Sophomores in a spelling match. The Sopho- mores thought it a crooked deal, so they were given a second trial, but failed. Miriam B., Gladys P., Teddy S., and Pat Murphy stood the longest. MARCH Ancil’s birthday and we celebrated by a surprise party. For once, we saw him pale and really “scared”. Ken gives us a talk on “How They Acted at Tournament.” We’ll ad- mit we never knew that they “bawl- ed” when they lost and “cried” when they won. 16. Mrs. Zimmerman was absent, and the Seniors take a turn at the Eighth grade. An article from the Vidette, on Thayne Beall’s ability as captain of the B. B. team, wras read in the Assembly. 17. Sad and lonely day in the Assemb- ly. The Seniors went to Valpo to get ads. 19. A big day for everyone. The Sixth and Seventh defeated the Eighth grade in the third spelling match. 22. Koserian Popularity Contest closed. A speech from Miriam Beall and Vivian Cannon. Of course, the Seniors have to say something, so we heard from Louise. 26. The Juniors, nine in number, de- feated the Sixth and Seventh, forty-six in number, in the fourth contest. Alice Rosenbaum did the work for the winning side. APRIL 2. Country pupils go home at noon, because of the snow storm. Juniors and Seniors spelling match post- poned, to the disappointment of all, especially the Seniors. 5. Last Friday, Jim. Ken, Bob H.. Pinney, Murphy, Laurence Pum- roy, Maurice, etc., decided, since most of the school were gone, they wouldn’t be missed. Mr. Vaughn discovered their absence and to- day they realized how hard it really is to climb steps — especially if one has to climb them fifty times without stopping. 8. A wonderful day to take pictures. Mr. Fox came from Valpo and took all the group pictures of the class- es. We also made use of the sun by taking snapshots. 20. The Athletic Association gave their play, “Can’t Keep a Good Man Down,” which was a decided suc- cess. MAY 3. Fire broke out in town. It was no use for Mr. Vaughn to try to stop anyone. Classes were forgot- ten and everyone followed the fire engine. Quite an event for Kouts. The Seniors held their final meet- ing. 4. The Glee Club presented a “Musi- cale” and “Lady Frances” an op- eretta. 11. Junior Class play, “Betty’s Last Bet.” 13. Patrons Day. 17. Everyone carrying books and studying—even at recess and be- tween classes. 18. -19. No wonder everyone is studi- ous. Final exams. 20. Junior and Senior Prom. 22. Last day of school. All the classes celebrated by going on picnics. 25.

Miss Sheffield: “Clifford, to what ex- tent is sugar grown in the United States” Clifford B: “They hain't rai«en much.” —o— Leila R. was teaching Freshman Eng- lish. Francis H: “Teacher, do you know who Kolbiorn was?” Leila: “No, do you?” Mrs. Lesinsky walked down the aisle and saw Maurice P. combing his hair. “The students are studying and the shieks are combing their hair,” she re- marked suddenly. Everyone laughed, “And,” she continued, “the fools are laughing.” Ancil (teaching civics): “What kinds of insane people are there?” Leila: “Louise, Ancil and Helen.” Miss Sheffield: “What's a delta?” Gladys Knolls (dreamy): “Some- thing around the mouth of a river.” Mr. Vaughn's name appeared in the Valparaiso Vidette with the initials J. D. after it. Bob H: “What does that mean?” Mr. Vaughn remained silent. Lewis Hiland: “Junk Dealer.” Miss Sheffield: “What is the chief ex- port of the Sahara Desert?” Barbara S: “Sand.” —o— Marion H: “Say, isn't he the ugliest thing you ever saw?” Alice M: “Sh, not so loud. Aren't you forgetting yourself?” Miss Sheffield: “Where did Balboa land?” Lawrence K: “He lit on his neck.” Miss Sheffield: “A very unfortunate landing, indeed.” —o— Marion T: “Why do rabbits have shin- ney noses?” Bob H: “Because their powder puffs are on the other end.” Miss Sheffield (Commerce and Indus- try) : “How did they thresh wheat in early colonial days?” Lawrence P: “They drove camels over it.” Bob H. (Civics) : “It's against the law to treat dumb animals cruelly.” Ancil: “What a shame. I can't hit you then.” —o— Miss Sheffield to a student: “My en- gagement ring used to belong to a mil- lionaire.” Student: “Who was the millionaire?” Miss Sheffield: “Woolworth.” Alice R: “Gladys, do you know my father has never spoken a hasty word to my mother.” Glayds: “No, how come?”' Alice R: “He stutters.” —o— Junior: “Do you know why a Scotch- man always taps a salt shaker?” Soph: “No, why?” Junior: “To get the salt out.” —o— Prof, (to Freshman entering class late) : “When were you born?” Freshman: “On the 2nd of April.” Prof: “Late again.” Teacher: “What made you so late and what is your excuse?” Pupil: “I was late cause I got here after the last bell rang, and I ran so fast that I didn't have time to think up an excuse.” I iVerne (trying to give President's oath): “I do solemnly swear that I will execute the President of the United States, etc.” (anarchist). —o— Junior (teaching 8th grade reading) : “George, tell all you can about Byron.” George: “He fought in the Revolution, then died and went to Greece.” —o— Gladys K. (in bookkeeping): Mr. Vaughn, here is a man that bought a horse and wagon. What do you debit?” Mr. Vaughn: “Why, delivery equip- ment.” Gladys: “Why it says in the book, ‘Debit No. 123' and that's office supplies. I don’t see what they’d want of a horse and wagon in an office?” —o— Mrs. Lesinsky (reading a poem con- taining something about the most beau- tiful woman): “Mabel, how would you like to be the most beautiful woman in the world?” Mabel: “Maybe I will be.” —o— A school teacher had found her class of boys reluctant in their writing of English compositions. At last she con- ceived a great idea to stimulate their interest—to write an account of a ball game. It seemed that she was successful. With one exception, the boys threw themselves at the task and evolved youthful masterpieces. The backward one chewed reluctantly at his pen and was then struck by a burst of genius.
