Of it merit we are uncertain, for it is an experiment in bookmaking, the product of inexperienced hands, and we ask you to judge it leniently. Two thing inspired its publication: First, a desire for some permanent memento of our last four years spent in school; and, second, the hope of collecting and preserving, before it became too late, information concerning the Alumni of the I a Porte High School. In this we realize that we have been only partially successful, mainly because of the limited time available in which to secure and authenticate the required data, and somewhat because of the lack of interest on the part of a few of the Alumni who failed to respond to our request (or information and photographs. But to the great body of loyal Alumni we arc very grateful for the assistance and encouragement so generously given us, and trust that the Alumni department of the book will meet their expectations. We are indebted to Superintendent John A. Wood for valiablc con- tributions and suggestions, to Mrs. Florence Mavhew for timely assistance rendered, to Principal F. L. Sims for his indefatigable labors in behalf of our book, to our teachers and fellow students for much valuable material and many helpful suggestions, to Mr. G. D. Thomas for his painstaking and patient labors in the photographic work, to the many artists whose contri- butions embellish our book, and to the class (or its loyal and energetic support. To the school and to a generous public we submit our work, trusting that it will receive their approval. ■' V '{ '■ ll i .. 1 ■ i i v • ' % 13' k v'AJ V ’ ye Class The Editors. The LaPorte City Schools X Hntcrical Skttcb by Supi. John A. H'wJ HE PUBLIC SCHOOLS of LaPorte were established under the new school law of iS 2, which was made to conform with the radical changes in educational provisions made by the new State Constitution. In 18 6 a public meeting was called a: the Court House to discuss whether or not the public school system should be adopted for LaPorte. After earnest discussion of the merits of the Private Schools and Public (called Pauperi Schools, Messrs. Gilbert Hathaway, Amzi Clark and Benj. P. alter were appointed a board of school trustees to establish the public system. During the same year the little brick ward schools were built, one for each ward of the city. These soon became inadequate for the accommodation of the children and later the board, of which James Moore was president and John B. Niles was secretary, determined to secure an architect and draw up plans for a large building capable of taking in all the children of the city. 'I'his much done, they halted and a general election was held for the purpose of determining whether a new building should be constructed. The decision was favorable to building and resulted in the election of Judge W. C. Hannah, president; Rev. G. C. Noyes, secretary, and Lafayette Crane, who was absent on special service in Sanitary Commis- sion of the Army of the Cumberland, was elected treasurer, which posi- tion he filled more than seven years. This board constructed the building now known as the Central Building and on its completion the schools were consolidated. The schools in the ward buildings had been ungraded and were practically independent, but in 1865, after much argument pro and con, Mr. T. L. Adams, Principal of the Adams’ Private Academy, was appointed Superintendent and the graded school system was established. The graded system implies a scheme whereby the pupils arc required to pursue a prescribed course of study and are classified according to their attainments. The printed report of 1869.70 shows that gradation was accom- plished only after a determined resistance to the innovation. In this report considerable space was given to arguments for the desirability of the graded system. The report of 18 1 called attention to the necessity of refining and remodeling in the High School Building, now known as the Central Building. In 1872-73 a plea for desks for the primary room was made in the following words, “ In the primary schools 1 of which there arc five) there is no school where all the pupils arc provided with desks, and in two of them not one is thus provided. In these grades the s'atc is in almost constant use, and must he held upright in the arm or placed upon the lap—in either ease compelling an awkward and unnatural position.” The report of the following year shows an adequate supply of desks in primary grades. I dwell thus fully on this point that the present generation may realize the long period of privation necessary for the accumulation of supplies lor school work which arc so fully and abundantly fur.nished in our schools. From the report of 1875 we learn that the system of elocutionary and rhetorical exercises had been in use two years. Music had been in the schools three years, and the course in German extended through six years. Here we see that LaPorte was fully up to the best schools of the country in enriching its curriculum. The three following reports emphasized the necessity of employing only thoroughly equipped teachers and retaining only thoroughly efficient ones. This points to a high standard for the teaching corps. In 1876 there was much discussion over the question of “ Overwork, Home Study, Dissipation, Etc.,” and in 1878, two years before the first 11 meeting o: the Manual Training department of the National Educational Association, there was a strong plea made for the introduction of Technical—now called Manual Training. In 1879 Home Study and Overwork” was again a mooted question. For three years following, the subjects of primary and supple- mentary reading and English composition were emphasized. In 1882 drawing was introduced as a regular study with Mr. Frank Aborn, of Cleveland, Ohio, as special teacher. The next year brought an earnest endeavor to improve the penmanship work. The school library was added to quite extensively and a creditable library list was published. During the same year the stoves used in many of the buildings were Mcketed and so connected with fresh air flues that the ventilation of the rooms was greatly improved. From 1883 to 1893 was a very prosperous period in the school htstorv of LaPortc. Into the strong and progressive school spirit and its Dr. 'V. N. 11.iiijninn introduced the “New Education;” carrying with it a complete reorganization of the coarse or study, the incorporation of the kindergarten and manual work, and the arrangement of the work upon the concentric circle plan. In 1890 the department of Drawing was organized in the high school and Prof. Frederic H. Simons, the present incumbent, was appointed teacher and supervisor of ar. work. In 1892 the commercial department was organized. During the y ear 1894 the present high school building was erec ted to meet the demands of the schools, caused by the growth in number of pupils and extension in work. In this building ample provision for the iture was thought to have been made, when provision was made for one hundred and seventy.five pupils. The present high school enrollment is two hundred and forty-three. This building was erected on the site of the old Indiana Medical College, the account of which is here inserted as found in the Indiana Gazetteer, published bv E. Chamberlain, Indianapolis, in 1849 : Indiana Medical College The Me! tj| Department of the LaPorte University was organ- : in i3.-i, and 1 course of lectures given by Dr� . G. A. R' -. Dan ! Meeker, |. I . Andrew and K. V. Hunt. They com- menced with about twelve -ludenti, and during the ensuing summer i building wot erected capable of accommodating I 50 students. The session of 184s proceeded under the same faculty w-.th the addition o! J. B. Niles, A. M., as Professor of Chemistry, and 17 student-.. After some change of the faculty during the next three years, in which for a time l)r. V. J. Hokorr.b and Dr. Brown, of Kalamacoo, occupied chairs, a reorganisation was effected in 1S4; by Drs. Meeker, Richards, Shipman, Knapp, Hard and J. B. Niles, Ev| , and the present name was assumed. At the elosc of the sesson 1846-47, the chair of Materia Medica, previously held by Dr. Knapp, was vacated by the trustee and Dr E. Deming, of Lafayette, appointed, and Dr. Higby also became one of the faculty. The number of students was 104. Graduates, S7 The session of 1848,49 commenced under the same faculty, with 100 students. The new college edifice has been completed : large additions have been made to the anatomical museum, as well as to the surgical apparatus, with drawings and other facilities for illus- trating the demonstrative branches of medical science The chemical apparatus is very good, and the experimrnts for illustrating that branch usually performed before the classes are numerous, accurate and satisfactory. An association called the North Western Academy of Natural Sciences was forme-1 in 1846 by the faculty, and other friends of general sciences. It has already a Urge collection of specimens in Geology, Natural History, etc., and a valuable library. For many years the LaPorte High School has been on the list of Indiana Commissioned High Schools and in the year 188' the school was entered on the three years accredited list of Michigan University. In 1897 the Commercial Course was extended ; the department of English was organized ; the school was entered on the accredited list as a co-operating school with Chicago University, and its graduates given privilege of entering the freshman classes without examination. Since 1S98 the list of colleges accrediting the work of the schools has grown so as to include practically all schools belonging to the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and also some courses in the Eastern Colleges. The grade styled S'K, which practically increased the time spent on grade work to nine years below the high school has been abolished ; the course of study has been thoroughly reorganized ; book contracts have been entered into with dealers to secure great reduction in cost of books and supplies. A book rental plan has been established enabling all who desire so to do to rent the text books necessary for carrying on their work, instead of purchasing them. The seventh and eighth grade� of the city have had their work organized on the depart- mental plan, giving the children the advantage of specialists as their instructors in these classes, and making it possible to organize the depart- mental and high school classes on the same basis as to program, promotions, electives, etc. School exhibits, at home and abroad, have displayed the actual products of the pupils' work in such a way as to bring considerable attention and commendation to the schools. A library of nearly 8,000 sheets of mounted pictures, arranged and classified by topics has been collected in the various rooms for the better illustration of the school work, and for the past two years mounted specimens of the work ot the various subjects have been mounted in scrap-book form and arc preserved in the respective rooms of the diderent grades lor the inspection of patrons, pupils and visiting teachers, and tor a true exhibit of the course of study as worked out by the schools. During this same period, from 1878 to date, quite extensive repairs have been made. Every school building has been thoroughly over- hauled ; walls cleaned and tinted, and some steel ceilings put in. Cement walks have been put on and around all school grounds, heating plants have been remodeled or new ones installed in all of the large buildings. The high school gymnasium has been established ; the school indebtedness has been lifted ; the transfer receipts on account of tuition from non- residents have been more than quadrupled, and the libraries and supple- mentary reading lists have had extensive additions. The present attendance both in grades and high school has never been equalled in our schools. The teaching corps has been harmonious and a unit in furthering the welfare of the schools and the good work and standing of the schools is attested, at home, by the cordial and loyal support of our citizens, thr liberal patronage from non-residents, and abroad, by our unusually large and successful college representation, which includes for the present year fifty-one students in twenty-one different collegiate or technical schools. I .a Porte schools from the earliest days of the private schools up to the present time, have always been held in high esteem both at home and abroad, and it is hoped that our schools may ever deserve and hold an honorable position in the educational world.

The High School Departments j8T a system of schools (he size of LaPortc’s it is practically impossible to keep a clearly defined separation of the departments in High School work. Even if it were possible from a financial standpoint and practical from the point of class attendance it is still questionable if the genera] welfare and interests of the whole school could be so well cared for under a scheme when the departments were isolated and the workers in one department have no vital or necessary interest in the workers of another department. The fact that a teacher acts as head in one department and as a� i� :an: in another gives the teacher a double view-point of the school work and compels a social and co-operative spirit frequently wanting in the faculties of higher schools. Par-'y by necessity and partly bv plan the high school is so arranged, with, one exception, that each teacher serves as responsible head in some one line of work and as assistant in another, thus giving a double bond of unity and a greater harmony of action. The names of those who have served as departmental teachers in the city high schools will be found on pages 11 J and I t 4 Many of those who have served here as high school teachers have gone on in their professional careers to positions of influence and prominence in tate and national educational affairs. The attendance in the high school during the past decade has more •sn doubled, while the teaching corps ha remained practically the same in number. To keep pace with the educational progress of the country at large, course� have been modified and extended so that the work of the various iepartmen- -and.' accredited with that of the best schools in the nation. The La Porte City High School offer to its students four years’ work in each of the following lines: English, Science, Commercial Bran.he� , l-atin. Art — Pictorial, Decorative, or Technical—and .Music, and offers three year courses in German, Mathematics and History. Teachers specially qualified by- scholarship and experience for each of these lines of work have been secured. Ample equipments in the way of laboratories and libraries arc provided, and opportunities equal to the best are offered to all wishing to do high school work. Entrance to the I-a Porte High School may be had upon examination and assignment by the Superintendent, or without examination on pres- entation of certificate of attendance in other high schools of good standing, upon evidence of satisfactory completion of work from the eighth grades of the City Schools, or on diploma from the Country Schools of Indtana. Advanced standing and credit will be given for work done in the Township High Schools of LaPorte County on presentation of certified copy of pupil’� record on entering the IjPortc High School. To meet the different tendencies and ambitions of students the six years’ work offered has been divided into three lines of four years each, named by the leading subject and entitling those completing any one of these lines to a diploma of Graduation. These courses are the Latin, Scientific and Commercial. The Latin Course admits to Literary or Scientific Courses of the leading Colleges and Universities of the Central States without examination. The Scientific Course admits to the College Scientific without examinations. The Commercial Course gives no Col- lege entrance without examinations. Those contemplating this course, however, have recently been admitted on all work done here, conditioned in University of Michigan in Iumguagc. In case students do not wish to take all the prescribed work of any course, a diploma may be earned by successfully completing elective work for not less than thirty credits, the minimum for which diplomas arc granted. This diploma docs not entitle holder to college entrance without examination. 16 Each recitation period per week, if work be continued througn one- half year, entitle.' the person successfully completing requirements of same to one-fifth credit. The subjects prescribed in the various courses will be found in the exhibit of work given below. Four years arc regularly required for completing any regular course and a minimum ot thirty-two credits is required tor graduation from regular courses. Substitution in subjects in stated courses may be made with the consent of the Principal and Superintendent, but substitutions invalidating the college entrance or State Commission requirements will forfeit right to any but the Thirty Credit or Special Course Diploma. The daily program and courses arc so arranged that pupils so desiring it may with the consent of the Principal and .Superintendent do more than the regular amount of work, and thus shorten the time re- quired for graduation, or by wise selection may be able to complete all required work for graduation in more than one course during four years. The privilege of extra work will be forfeited, however, should the regu- lar work fail to be satisfactory. A credit represents one recitation five times per week for one-half year. Regular work requires so recitations of 4; minutes each per week, exclusive of music and general exercises. The various courses of the schcols are made up frem work selected from the nine departments. The English department is the last one organized, and was estab- lished a a separate department in 1897, with Miss Katharine Crane as teacher. Miss Crane still holds the literature work, while the composition work i in charge of Miss Karolir.c Klager. The course includes the reading of a college requirement list of classics in English and American Literature, together with a grammatical and rhetorical study of these works and a four years’ course in English Composition. It is the intention, as soon as practicable, to add to the work of this department one year’s work in the history of literature. This can be done by re-arranging the literature work in grades seven to eleven inclusive, without requiring any additional hours on part of the students. The Latin department was one of the first established in the schools, and i' now in charge of Mr. C. O. Nelson. The work of the Department calls for the following: First Year:—General principles of Grammar, laying stress upon con- jugation, declension and syntax. About fifty pages of easy Latin arc translated. Second Year:—Translation of four books of Casar’s Gallic War; the study of more complex forms of Latin prose, indirect discourse and the study of Roman warfare. Third Year—Translation of six orations of Cicero; study of prose composition; study of Reman life and oratory. Fourth Year:—Translation of nine books of Virgil’s Acneid; Geo- graphy of the Ancient World; essays on subjects suggested by the text; i ,000 to 2,500 lines of Ovid. The German department is in charge of Miss Karolinc Klager, and the course is arranged as follows: First Year:— Conversational exercises and reading. Latt.r par: of the year. Grammar. Second Year:—Grammar: Translations .'rum English into German; German into English. Reading easy German; prose and poetry. Third Year:—Continue Grammar. Write shor: German compo- sitions and translations. Harris’ Prose Composition. Read and discuss German classics: WjH-am Tell, The Song of the Be!!, Schiller; Mina von Barnhclm, Lessing; Short Poems; Goethe, c:c. Graduates of this department have entered the Junior German Classes in Ann Arbor, by examination. In the department of Mathematics, in charge of Principal F. L. Sims, the work is as follows: First Year:--Algebra, through quadratics. Second Yea:: -Plane Geometry. Third Year: -Solid Geometry; Lines and planes in span; Polyhedrons; Cylinders and Cones; the Sphere. Fourth Yea: : Second Semester, Higher Algebra, in charge o: Superintendent Wo. i; Radicals, (Quadratics, Ratio, Proportion, Progressions, Imaginary (Quantities, L ga- rtthms. Binominal Theorem. Throughout the course special attention is given to practical appli- cations of the work, much supplementary work and original demon- strations being required. The Science department is in charge of Mr. C. |. Pojey, and ii equipped with chemical, physical and biological laboratories. The department otter.- one year’� work in Botany or Zoology on alternate •• ear.-. one-half year's w ork each in Physical Geography and Physiology, and a full year’s work in Physio and Chemistry. The laboratory equipments arc adequate, and throughout the course laboratory note-books arc prepared in connection with laboratory practice. The department of History has not vet been organized as a distinct department. The work is at present distributed so that first year work in Genera History is conducted by Miss Katharine Crane and Mr. C. O. Nelson. The work in English History, U. S. History and Civil Government is conducted by Principal F. L. Sims, who has charge of the history work. It is hoped that a special teacher of history may soon be appointed, and that a!! this w ork may be put under the care of one person, giving an organic view of the three or four years’ work which may be offered under such circumstances. The course in history needs extension, but steps in that direction are not advisable with the present limited teaching corps. The Commercial department is fast gaining favor with students and patrons, and is in charge of Mr. II. C. Noe, who also acts as super- visor in the grades. The extension of the work from two to four years has resulted in more than doubling the membership in the department, and has made it equal to the other departments in scholastic worth and training. As now organized the department offers two and one-half years in Book-keeping and Business Practice; one year in Commercial Arithmetic; one year in Commercial Gcographv , one-half year in Com- mercial Law and De-iriptivc Economics and one year in Shorthand and Typew riting. The enrollment this year in the Typewriting class is forty-eight, and the prospects arc for a greater attendance if a sufficient number of machines can he provided. The Art department for the past twelve years has been in charge of Mr. F. H. Simon-, who also acts as supervisor in the grades. He has done much to cultivate an appreciation of Art and to develop artistic ability in this community. The High School Art Course offers four years of consecutive work in each of the lines offered, namely. Pictorial, Decorative and Construc- tive. Both Decorative and Constructive work requires as a basis a familiarity with the principles of pictorial, perspective, light and shade and water color work. And so those desiring to enter technical classes arc strongly advised to elect the pictorial with the decorative or con- structive work. Several students and post-graduates take the four years’ work in the three lines. The department of Music is in charge of Miss Helen Poole, also supervisor in the grades. Each class has class instruction on the theory of Music and vocal exercises one period each week. In the class room the course furnishes work throughout the four years as follows; First and Second Years; — Elements of Mu ic, Solfeggios, Sight Reading, Two-part Harmony , Rounds, Theory of Seales, Vowel Prac- tice and Formation of Tone, Chorus Practice. Third and Fourth Years;—Transpositions, Modulations, Elements of Harmony, Intervals, General History of Music. Chorus Practice. The department of Physical Culture i in charge of Miss Nina B. I.amki� , whose services have been retained by the High School Athletic Association. The gymnasium has been established in the old Third Ward School Building. It was remodeled by the Board of Education; the apparatus has been furnished by the Athletic Association. Each class receives instruction two periods per week under the direction of the instructor, with privileges of the gymnasium at all unoccu- pied periods during the week. The expenses of the department have been paid by membership fees and proceeds from athletic entertainments given during the past two years. In all the departments there has been an earnest endeavor on part of pupils and teachers to do honest work and to make the interest of each department subordinate to the interests and general welfare of the entire school. The best work in the departments can only be done when there is most pertect harmony and co-operation on the par: of those responsible for the various lines of work. The maintenance of these departments and the liberal patronage of them reflects great credit on the community, and speaks much for the educational sentiment of La Porte. - Organization of Schools Board of Education F.

The incidents in which it participated, the mooted tjucstions it revived, the causes it championed, and the battles it waged arc all too fresh in the memory of the present generation for the histor- ian’s account to be accredited as either impartial or authentic, adhere it ever so closely to the truth. Realizing that several cycles of high school students must have passed through the beloved halls of our building, bctorc the events here recorded will be viewed dispassionately and with a due respect for the corroborative evidence of numerous historical citations, the chron- icler has sought to verify, even a: great expense of time and labor, the following account o! 1903’� meteoric career. Survivors of the various escapades, eye-witnesses of important events, and veterans of the battles have been interviewed at length, archives have been searched and original records diligently compared, in the hope that each statement might he authenticated beyond the questioning of the most skeptical. The Class of 190 ; entered the high school in the fall of 1899 by invitation from above and not because of pressure from below,5 and dis- played unusual adaptability in quickly adjusting itself to the new environ- ment. 1 I: immediately revived the lost art of bluffing successfully and 'Ct'.

Their monitors, after rising to report the absccnccs, remained standing like the Roman guard at the gate of Pompeii, unmoved by the tumult and confusion about them. The Principal finally came to their relief and permitted them to be seated.' On the day appointed for the Freshmen to entertain the school by instrumental solos, recitations and readings, there was more hilarity, laughter and exuberant joy than on any previous similar day, and the class felt highly honored and gratified at the appreciation of their efforts. •’ During the Sophomore year much of the time was devpted to the cultivation of the social side of school life,1 and to careful study of the Ct.

The conflict thus precipitated was sharp but brief. The Senior flag came down, the Maroon and Silver went up in its stead.1 The 02 flag is now preserved in the High School Museum of War Relies.1 '• Casualties on both sides were heavy.20 A reception was now tendered the repentant enemy, which was the most elaborate affair Cl'. “Incident of the War between 1901 1902. pp. 6o6- l • Cf.

Chronicles of the Tribe of ’04 Jtf CHAPTER I I. TheTrUt r.f'04 Er.urtth inie the Landtf the Higbiebmitei. 2. They Tbt Ckmtth Their Lttden. OW i: came to pass that in the ninth month and on the fifth day of the same, in the sixth year after the building of the new Temple, there had assembled in their Sanhedrin, the tribe of the High- jchoolitci. And it came to pass that they did lament with great lamentation the loss of much of their people by reason of the plague of “Exs.” which had been sent upon them. And moreover, they did lament the loss of many of their patriarchs and wise men who had gathered up their «trolls of sheepskin, donned fine linen, and, speaking words of wisdom and eloquence, had departed them hence into die land of the Alumni. And moreover, while they were in lamentation and great sorrow, the.’-, arose without a fearsome noise, and there did enter into the Temple, even into the innermost parts thereof, a great host, yea, even a multitude, the like of which had never before been seen in all the land about. And great was the consternation of the liighschoolitcs, and great was the fear upon them. But perceiving that the newcomers were of goodly appearance and comely, and fair to look upon, they took courage and lifted up their voices and -rake, saying, “Whence coincst thou, O strangers, thus to invade our Temple: Come thou up and make obeisance unto us if thou wouldst expect our mercy.” But the newcomers smiled a smile the width of which was one cubit, and lifting up their voices, spake: “Hear, O vc tribes of the High- schoolites. We come from the land of the Eighth Graders, and behold, there has been allotted unto us a place in this Temple. And moreover, it has been said unto us, 'Go ye in and possess the place.’ Peace be with you.” Whereupon they did gather up their scrolls and tablets and set them down, fearing no man. Thereupon began they asking much questions of the ruler of the Temple, and pursuing tnc ways of learning. And it came shortly to pass that it was spake unto the newcomers, whose name was Naughty, surnamed Fours, “Verily, it will be well for thee to choose from among thy goodly number certain of thy tribe, that they may be the rulers and the high priests of thy tribe, and hob-nob with the boss of the Sanhedrin, and scheme schemes and lead in the councils of the Naughty Fours.” Meantime the Naughty I ich, being translated, means 04’$) said among themselves, “Whom shall we chooser” There was one among them who was fair spoken and well versed in the manners and customs of the parliamentarians, and he was good in com- mand. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Behold, him will we make our Chief Ruler” ( which in the English tongue is called President). And ballots did they cast in great numbers, and it was done as the prophet had foretold. And likewise did they choose others from out their tribe that they might hold office and become puffed up. And the thing pleased them, and they rejoiced and waxed wise and studious. And it was so. And here endeth the first chapter. � 6 . A Strange Tribe Entemfo the Land. Tee '04' Smite the Tribei tf the Higfnehttlitei. Now it came to paw that in the ninth month of the first year after the tribe of ’04 had taken up it� abode in the land of the Highschoolitcs, that there appeared on the border� of the land, even at the gate� of the Temple, a strange and unsightly people who spake with a foreign accent. And thus spake the motley horde: “Open up thy gate , O ye High- sehoolitcs, and let us to come in, tor we famish for knowledge. Verily have we drained the fountains of learning in the lower country, and devoured all of the manna of that land, and we perish lest thy gates be opened unto us.” Then were the gates opened and the newcomers rushed in; yea, like waves of the sea came they in. And they tilled the Temple to bursting, and all of the corners, and the passageways, and the doors, and the outer courts and the inner courts. And nowhere could the Highschoolitcs turn, save before them stood some of these men, named Fresh, and thereafter known as Freshmen. And in the greatness of their numbers did they become an abomination, yea, even a great nuisance. Then came it to pass about this time that the tribe which dwelt upon the left hand of the great 04’s became “ funny,” which terrible state is also known as “gay.” Whereupon the ’04’� did rise them up ar.d smite the tribe on their left, hip and thigh. And full sore and mournful and woe-begone was this tribe when the carnage had ceased. And they withdrew to the far eastern portion of the land, to dwell there in painful recollection and fear of the tribe of’04. And here endeth the second chapter. CHAPTER III . The Tribe of '04 Becomes Greatest in the Land. 2. Their Prophets Prophesy. And now, when had come the third year of their sojourn in the land of the Highschoolitcs, did the Tribe of’04 wax strong and mighty. For when were chosen leaders of the bands who did execute strange and divers maneuvers in the Place of the Cracked Bones, called Gym., then were the mighty men of the Tribe of'04 chosen. And when maidens were chosen to make a joyful sound before the assembled tribes, and to sing and lead in the rejoicing when the enemy went down humbled to the dust, then were the maidens of the Tribe of 04 selected. And likewise, when were called together the musicians from the tribes to sound forth the trumpet and the cymbal, were the leaders chosen from the Tribe of ’04. So also, when the tribes stand forth to contend one with another for honors and for fame, do the men of the tribe of ’04 excel. Verily, excel they all others. And their maidens sing songs, and their old men dream dreams, and their prophets prophesy, and the tribe grows wise and famous, as the prophet had foretold. And it was so. Selah! And here endeth the first scroll. wm Class of 1905 Motto: “Optimist, not Pessimist.” Flows: : Violet. Colors : Lavender and Silver. Yell Licki'y S ' Lickiiy Sir’ Flippy, Hij jity.

Van Kirk Frank Vorhes Sophomore Class History A Narrative of the Engagements of Company F, First Volunteers, in the Crusade into the Land of Higher Learning L'MORS of a projected invasion into the hitherto unexplored l-and of Higher learning having reached us early in the year of 1901, about sixty of us decided to join the expedition which was to partake of the nature of both conquest and crusade. The prospects of lively skirmishes, exciting adventures, and un- told treasures, appealed strongly to our military natures, while the opportunities to distinguish ourselves by feats of oaring and heroism,thus achieving iastingmilitary tamc, made us anxious to march at once. So about the first of September we underwent the customary exami- nations, and when those who were unfit for the rigors of the march were winnowed from the ranks, we were mustered into Company F, First Volunteers L. H. S., and assigned quarters in the barracks just west of Company S. Resplendent in our new uniforms and shining accoutrements we imagined ourselves fit to make glad the heart of any general. But our discomfiture wa complete when wc were ordered out for inspection and battalion drill. Interpreting the command each from his point of view, there v i y.rnv light confusion in obeying the orders. However, after a few hours the officers managed to distanglc the chaotic mass of private, knapsack, canteen, corporal, haversack and sergeant, and we presented a very respectable appearance when the reviewing officers arrived. W'c pass by in silence the remarks made bv our more experienced companions in arms and shall endeavor to let fade any memory wc may have of their smirks and side glances at our martial array as we saluted the Commander-in Chief. Soon came the welcome order to march, and we prepared for battle, for we well knew how fraught with danger was any attempt to invade this wonderful country, whose hills and forests wc before had viewed only from a distance. Hardly had wc crossed the boundary line, until several ot our company became lost in a jungle of cloak-rooms and were rescued at great peril. One poor companion, whose memory we cherish for his intrepid courage, essayed to penetrate the gloomy fastnesses of the Attic, a prominent elevation of this strange land, and was seen no more. It is thought that he became caught in a net of electric bell wires and was electrocuted. Our expedition was but fairly started when we found our way blocked by Collar and Daniels’ Hill, a strongly fortified position, whose garrison was commanded by a distant relativ e of the great Lord Nelson. This siege wc remember as one of the most terrible of our experiences. For nine long months we invested the hill hoping to tire the enemy out, but without avail. Our scouting parties were captured, mines were countermined and assaults repulsed with great low to us, strategic maneu- vers checkmated with surprising military genius, and several determined attacks repulsed with volleys of declensions, conjugations, translations and constructions too terrifying for any line to endure. Thus we were compelled to fall back to our original position. At the close of our first year’s campaign, however, the enemy gave signs of weakening and we made a bayonet charge up the hill, only to find that he had skillfully withdrawn to a still more strongly tonified position — Mt. C.vsar. With an overworked Red Cross Ambulance Corps, and considerably diminished numbers we swept on, winning victories at Crancvillc and Warren’s Creek with the loss of a few of our less alert members. Major- General Isaac Newton, Commandcr-in-Chicf of the vanquished host, after the defeat at Algebra Bridge, resigned his commission and (led the country. Then followed a cessation of hostilities and a tmcc of three months was established. But alas, during thi interval, while we were growing unaccustomed to the use of arms, two of the opposing generals spent the summer in Kuropc, studying advanced military tactics, and upon the resumption of hostilities in September we were met with such completely organized plan of resistance, carried out with such military genius, that the success of our campaign was doubtful. The successor to General Isaac Newton proved to be an old cam- paigner and an expert strategist, whose heavy Geometry Artillery, which was surprisingly mobile, made the most unexpected charges and swooped down upon our unprotected out-posts always with terrible effect. We arc learning his tactics however, and have recently captured several of his heaviest Theorem guns and we arc now using them with good effect If we can withstand the disastrous effects of a new explosive shell called the “Original Exercise,” we may soon hope for a great vic- tory on Geometry Plain. The siege of Mt. Ca-sar is progressing slowly but surely to a successful issue, but the flower of the enemy’s forces, the great General Po V.c is reported as routing our forces completely at Physiology Swamp A late dispatch conveys the glad intelligence that the German and English tactics employed by two of the opposing generals arc not proving successful in withstanding our determined assaults and we arc hourly expecting confirmation of the rumor that these generals have surrendered. The division of our troops which crossed Commercial Bridge is reported as making great inroads in the enemy’s territory. The few weeks remaining before the excessively hot weather begins will be crucial ones in the campaign, but the outlook is encouraging and we hope soon to come marching home with great treasures from the tem- ples of the I jnd of Higher learning. ms Class of 1906 jer Motto : Loyally Flower : Yellow Daisy Colors : White and Gold Yell One-a-zippj' Two-a-aipjo' Three-i-rippa!

Its two dis- tinguishing characteristics, volubility ami multi- tudinous membership, made it immediately con- spicuous. The aggregate mcmlscrship of approx- imately seventy, compensated partially for the diminutive size of the individual members of thcclass, while the originality and fecundity of the ideas con- cocted by their versatile genius forced the reluctant admission from the advanced classes that 1906 was to be assigned to an elevated position peculiarly its own. Comparisons instituted in envy, ended in chagrin, and became so odious that after flourishing for a brief interval, they ceased abruptly and permanently. The customary impositions upon the credulity of the uninitiated and unsophisticated Freshman were, in our case, entirely dispensed with, for our perspicacity and penetrating intuition detected the futile machinations intended to beguile us into embarassing situations as our more gullible predecessors repeatedly had been. The lack of originality in their puerile devices calculated to deceive us, created in us a supreme contempt for their pretended sagacity, consequently we have ignored their petty efforts to overawe us by pompous pretentions of intellectual superiority. With the teachers we gained instant recognition. The originality of our views on matters of Ancient History, and their divergence from the traditionally accepted facts and opinions, caused wide-spread comment, while our discovery of hitherto unsuspected relations and abbreviated methods in our mathematical studies, were worthy of the laudatory com- ment they received. Recognizing the ultra-conservative tendencies and disposition of one trained in old methods, we were considerate in imposing our more concise yet somewhat theoretical system of algebraic solutions upon the mathematician with his antc-diluvian methods who dealt with the subject for our amusement, and have concluded philosophically to await vindication by posterity as to the celerity and accuracy of our trans- cendental methods. Our cogency of expression, combined with our enviable fluency and versatility of style, has been the wonder and admiration of those who have been fortunate enough to have the pleasure of reading our productions. Our researches in Knglish Literature, which have resulted in the propa- gation of many critical opinions not generally found in ordinary text- Ixjoks, arc so highly appreciated that upon earnest solicitation, several of us will repeat the same work next year. But it is not of the varied phases of our natural gifts, which have been acquired through little or no effort on our part, that we would thus modestly speak. Our claim to merited distinction from the less talented preceding classes, rests on the unquestioned superiority, the ebullient volubility, the sparkling effervescence, the loftv plane, the uninterrupted flow, the philosophical meandering , the iconoclastic criticism, the felici- tious diction, the constructive suggestion, the careful modulation, the varied tone, the piquant repartee, the originality of idea, the changing view point, the extended scope, the breadth of view, the long-sustained incessant, never-ending, perpetual quality of our conversation. In this feature of our educational progress we have no superiors, and few equals in the land. Happy in the recognition of our unchallenged standing in the school, we have not been compelled to participate in the strenuous struggle for recognition or prominence, and consequenti) our career has been uninter- rupted by any extended succession of noteworthy events. We have con- descended to participate in the various enterprises of the school and lend our necessary assistance to timbering their success. Our musical talent, our elocutionary ability, our gymnastic skill, our athletic accomplishments, our unrivalled feminine pulchritude and grace have contributed to the gaiety of nations and the edification of the school, and we await the broader opportunities of the future, after the less fortunate classes who precede us by a few years shall have departed, when we will turn our attention from the cultivation of the Art of Conversation to the varied interests of the school, to establish precedents, to institute innovations and to mark a new epoch in the history of the High School. 35 Clubs and Organizations FOO TBALL TEAM ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION M v BASEBALL TEAM BOVS BASKET BALL TEAMS GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAMS ?•' INDOOR BASEBALL TEAM P r.

When the school work was resumed in the fall of 1900 the interest in the gymnasium project had not abated during the summer vacation, but had greatly increased. The main difficulty was the lack of a suitable room, but it was then suggested that the old ward school, a two-story bric-k building, which had been closed for several years, would make a very good gymnasium, on account of its proximity to the high school. The consent of the Board of Education was obtained for the use of this building by means of a petition drawn up and signed by the pupils of the high school. When the building was obtained it was only necessary to organize, and this was done, the following officers being elected by the member- ship: Mr. Walter Frcdcrickson, President; Mr. Frank Decker, Treasurer; Miss Ethel Haggard, Secretary; and the organization was named “The La Porte High School Athletic Association.” Much credit is due to Mr. Walter Frcdcr- ickson and Mr. Walter Fox as the prominent organizers of the Association which soon num- bered about one hundred in its membership. The first appa- ratus was donated by the mem- bers of the Association At first there was no regular instruction. the gymnasium being used more for recreation than for regular physical exercises. After school had reopened in the fall of 1901, the High School Athletic Association was again re-organized. Mr. Charles McClung was chosen President; Mr. Frank Decker, Treasurer, and Miss Ethel Haggard, Secretary. Several improvements were made in the building, the partition in the hall of the upper story being removed, thus increasing the size of the room, a new floor put in, the insides of both rooms repainted, and electric lighting installed. The membership was also increased, and a very competent instructor, Miss Nina B. (.amkin, was secured to take charge of the year’s work, which was divided into three terms of ten weeks each. Various classes were organized and under the excellent instruction of Miss Lamkin, they became so proficient that it was decided to give a public exhibition and entertainment at the end of the first term. This entertainment was given on December 13, 1901, and was very success- ful, as was also the second one given May 29, 1902. The reputation and permanency of the gym- nasium was now established. The proceeds derived from these two entertainments and the membership fees were expended in purchasing more apparatus and in paying for the instruction. When the school year closed the gymnasium was an established ■C.'i.'C. MUV success and stood as a testimonial to the labors of its organizers and promoters. At the beginning of the school year, September, 1902, the Athletic Association elected Mr. Cornelius Rumclv, President; Mr. Harry Kramer, Secretary, and Prof. F. L. Sim� , Treasurer; and in addition an Athletic Council, consisting of Messrs. Cornelius Rumcly, George Bos- serman, Charles Stanton and Homer Boyd, was chosen by the various classes. The services of Miss Eamkin were again engaged and work was immediately begun. The physical culture exercises and drills were adjusted to the need� of the various classes with most beneficial results in improved carriage, muscular development and generally improved health. The fall term’s work consisted of various calisthenic drills and heavy apparatus work, and the exhibition given on December 19, 1902, at Hall’s Opera House, proved a decided success. The winter term has been devoted to the regular work and to basket ball, while the spring rcrm will be spent in advanced work. The Board of Education very generously provides the heated and lighted building, and the willingness and success of the school in assuming and providing for the annual expense of about $350.00 assures the per- manency of the gymnasium as a department of the high school, and expresses in no uncertain terms the school’s appreciation of its value. H. W. F., ’03. 59 The Athletic Association Entertainments CHE regular claw work in our newly organized and equipped gymnasium culminated in a public exhibition December 13, 1901. Miss Nina B. Lamkin had been in charge of the work during the fall quarter, and in the short period of ten weeks was able to � 0 thoroughly drill the various divisions that wc were well prepared to make a public appearance. The regular calisthenic drills, as well as the more spectacular and fancy gymnastic work, were wholly new to us, but the interest and enthusiasm, and the appreciation of the value of the exercises, made it possible for us to present a pleasing entertainment in this short time. Nearly a hundred pupils took part in the program, which was well received by the large audience. The accuracy of the drills as well as their novelty made them appreciated, and the costumes added to the charm of rythmical movements and lively music in unison. The second semi-annual entertainment was given May 29, 1902, in Hall's Opera House. The participants were better prepared for this occasion, and the program in general was an improvement on the previous one. That it was appreciated was proved by the generous applause that followed each number. The first year’s programs were financially successful, and the Asso- ciation was thus enabled to pay for the instruction and purchase new apparatus for the gymnasium. The third entertainment was given in the Opera House, Friday, December 19, 1902, and excelled the performances of the previous year. The training and experience already acquired made it possible to give an almost new and much varied program, which proved as pleasing as its predecessors. The final program of this year will be given May 15th, in the Opera House, and is expected to prove as successful as the others. 60 Programs of the Athletic Association Entertainments December 13, 1901 May 29. 1902 FART I I Swedish work ...

All previous receptions had been held outside the city, but the Class of '03 instituted a precedent by hold- ing their reception at the High School building. The High School building in its transformation was more beautiful chan one imagined it could be. Erected for the occasion at the front of the Assembly room was a large, handsomely set stage on which the plays were presented. On the second floor, the English room decorated in their class colors, blue and white, served as the Senior reception room, and the Latin room decorated in their class colors, maroon and silver, served as the Junior apartment. From both of these rooms all desks and benches had been removed and means of amuse- ment were furnished for those who did not participate in the dancing. The hall down stairs was a place of light and beauty. Everywhere were graceful ferns and beautiful flowers and the lofty arches were artistically draped with festoons of twined myrtle. The land- ings were especially beautiful with their cozy corners hid among the ferns and flowers. From the hall opened the Art room in which refreshments were served. Just inside these double doors was a pyramid of flowers, flanked on cither side by a small table which was decked with the colors of the respective class. When the guests were seated in the Assembly room and the overture had been played by the Cordills, the curtain rose on “The Smith Mystery,” a charming little one act comedy. In a certain family there were three Miss Smiths, a young aunt, her niece and the maid, each of whom had a lover whose initials were 'I . S. The entanglements that arose in consequence were amusingly presented bv three of the most talented Junior girls. After a short interlude, this was followed by “The Boston Dip,” a comedietta in one act, also presented by the members of the Junior class. In this were depicted the struggles of a poor family, the Mulligrubs, who suddenly became rich and desired to move in swell society and ape the manners of the “Four Hundred.” The daughters succeeded well enough, but the uneducated father and mother encountered too many diffi- culties to overcome, the climax of which was reached when Mrs. Mulligrub attempts to learn to do “that Dipper thing,” (a new Waltz 1 and Mr. Mulli- grub thinks she is flirting with M. Adonis, the French dancing master. However, everything is explained and all ends as happily as did the Junior reception. 62 When the play was over the guests and hosts repaired to the lower hall where Tcrpischorc held sway. After a program of ten or twelve numbers, came the Cotillion led by Miss Nina B. I .amkin and Mr J. W. RumeK. At about twelve o’clock light refreshments were served in the Art room, Miss Klager and Mrs. Mayhcw presiding at one table and Mrs. F. 'I'. Rench and the Junior president at the other, aided by their corps of waiters, most of whom were Sophomore girls. Following the refreshments came the closing dance program, and as an appro- priate finale the Seniors gave their veil and departed, voting that this reception was the most successful as well as the most unique that had ever been held in La Porte. There was present one guest of honor, Wm. P. Rogers, Dean of the Law School of Indiana University. The members of the School Board did not respond to their invitations. Much credit for the success of the Junior reception is due to Miss Nina B. Lamkin and Prof. I. N. Warren. — E.

LaPorte which in French means ‘«door,” a name due to the opening in the forest southwest of town, still marked by Door Village) : es not lay claim to very great antiquity. The l.aPorteans retained their ancient customs longer than was usual among the cities of Indiana and have ever been noted for the vigor of their reasoning | owcrs; even at the present day their superiority over their neighboring towns is apparent in many ways. The city is situated on high ground, overhung by vBald Hill on the southeast and on the north by the Summit, 00 feet above I-a :v Michigan, from which a semi-panoramic view may be obtained of the iake and its surrounding country. To obtain even a hasty glimpse of the sights of LaPorte, a stay of at leas: 14 to 16 days is necessary. The visitor who has but a fortnight at his disposal will be assisted to make the best use of his time by the following plan. A free use of cabs will also be necessary. The vi . :’frrre.j to th of tfvr tout of BjM Hill, puUiihr-4 in Youth's O fnpjr.i'.n by Harry Lay. The coupes are not in keeping with the station (on account of being recently remodeled). However cabs dating back to the lyth century are on exhibition one block south of the station. The enterprising character of the I-t Port cans sufficiently accounts for the almost entire disappearance of all relics of the past and for its thoroughly modern aspect. (I)Court House, ( admission gratis). This is an enormous sandstone structure and the great focus of business. The tower ( 150 feet high) commands a magnificent view; North are the great lakes and the wilderness of Canada which stretches upward to the North Pole, to she left are the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, the latter being hid from view by the former. To the right arc the Adirondacks and the Atlantic, while to the south arc Kentucky, Tennessee and the Gulf of Mexico. The air is generally not sufficiently clear to observe all these localities, but when they arc visible it is safe to say that such a view is absolutely unique. The car leaves the Court House every two hours for the suburbs. A short ride will be found interesting and also beneficial to obtain a hasty glimpse of the country. As the car starts, to the left may be seen the 1 11 t Elk Club rooms and as the car advances to the right another view of the Court House may lie obtained. Again to the left one block south, the place now marked by an agricultural house was the former site, in the 19th century, of the Standard Hotel. This hotel has accomodated such men as Henry Ward Beecher and Daniel Webster. A block to the west rises the famous III )City Hall in the late Gothic style. This building is of special interest to the tourist, because of the excitement which reigned over the country due to the mysterious disappearance of the ’os flag which for a few seconds waved triumphantly from its flag staff. Passing on through the manufacturing district and crossing the railroad the tourist is brought into a district where the architecture derives romantic effects from the broad sweeping features of the surrounding country. A little farther on may be seen to the right of the car, the hospital, erected in ancient times by Dr. Collins whose opiutp cure is renowned the world over. This was later used as a Kccly institute and recently served as the residence of a millionaire. Passing on through (IV Fair View (guide books 6s z cents) the chief attraction of which is the school for boys, we approach the Chautauqua. These grounds arc unquestionably the chief attraction of LaPortc, being at all times in summer months the scene of great festiv- ities. Near the entrance on the left side is the Palatial Hotel, with terraced grounds and large portico and to the left of the vestibule is the renowned dining room done in antique frescoes after Michael Angelo. On the right side of the pari is the Pallais dc Fetes for concerts. Dotted here and there on elevated terraces arc summer homes. Another relic of the past is the gate-way originally designed bv “Reubens” and adorned with “barb-wire.” Many additions have been made in the style of the original. ( V )The Library (recently restored ) is especially admired for its chaste simplicity. Michael Angelo is aid to have studied the proportions of this building, taking special interest in the staircase, which artistically crosses the front windows, before the construction of his master pieces. This can easily be realized. The most interesting edifice is the i VI )Museum (admission gratis). The building originally designed for a school house and now used for a Museum is just north of the famous iymnasium. You will be first attracted 1.IBKAKV 6 by the cast wing of the building where for many years has thrived a famous colony of artists (admission courteously granted ). In each room arc courteous guides who almost force their services upon you, leading you through the intricacies of Roman history, chemical analysis, I-a:in idioms, etc. The main room on the second floor is the lecture room, where eloquence on all branches of misconduct is distributed daily and at all hours. To the west of the main room is the depository of Tam O’Shantcr. The figures in the lecture room are arranged according to the Darwinian theory of evolution, the lowest type being found on the west. The art of depicting frivolity and vanity in the countenances of the figures on the west has been only fairly successful. Some of the heads on the east however have been admirably finished. Passing from the Museum toward the city, the tourist crosses the historic “Place dcs Fetes,” where many strenuous battles bv the “Knights of the Shin Guard” have been fought. The monumental pile just across the “Place des Fetes” is an incubator and store house for the Museum. F. K., ’o6.

Fogle 69 A Senior’s Soliloquy on the Foregone Scrap To scrap, or not to scrap, that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings, the taunts, the jibes of stalwart Juniors; Or take up clubs against a mass of matter. And with the butt-ends, pound it. To butt, to pound. And by these strokes to crack the shins of Juniors, Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. To pound! To butt! perchance to fail; ay, there’s the rub; Yes, sir! perhaps their ropes will bind our limbs. And in that mass of knots what pains may come. When they have pulled and drawn then� up so tight. Must give us pause, and make us ask ourselves, 44 Where are we at?” This makes us hesitate; For who could hear the jibes of silly Frcshics, Or face the scornful frowns of daft Sophomores, Or flunk in class next morning — that't a jtkf — Or meet the gaze of females who would ee Our ignominy: Who would scrap-marks bear. To grunt and sweat under a weary life. But that these taunts of braw ny undcr-classmen Puzzle the will, and make us rather hear Ti •- : c • • burly Juniors, than to risk our precious skins: Thus conscience does make cowards of us all: And thus the native hue of resolution I sickiied o’er with the pale cast of thought. And enterprises of hoisting the forbidden Hag, With this regard their currents turn awry, And loose the name of action. Soft you, now! We’ll make the plea to institute reform, And jay 'twas for the Maple's sake, And make pretense of barbarous actions done By far more braver classes that preceded us!

Professor Sims had heard the cry And then “’twas up to him.” So quickly gathering boys and pail� Across the street he flew The people stopped and looked at him All wondered what he’d do. A boy was then for water sent. He quite forgot the pump. But went way over to theschool l.ike any fireman chump; The doors were locked, so back he came, And never cracked a smile, But said, that after so much work. He guessed he d rest awhile. Meanwhile the High School girls pitched in And my! how hard they worked. They carried water up the stair Nor was there one that shirked. The crowd had now increased in size; Smoke from the window� pouring, The Prof, who now secured an axe. Began to chop the flooring. A good sized hole was quickly made, The smoke came pouring out. Vet so much water did they pour It quickly put the fire to rout. The problem then for them to solve Was this:—“Where did it get its start?” Investigation proved to them The pipe had come apart. That night the dirt all disappeared The floors were all scrubbed clean. And by next morning not a trace Of any fire was seen. And now due honor must be paid To those who saved the Gym. So to the High School Girls Brigade, hose buckets, mops, cool-headed vim. And quick response to duty’s call. As fire patrol and signal system. As pipemen, pumpers, fireman all. As scrubbers, moppers, salvage corps. We give our homage and our praise “To-day, to-morrow, evermore. —L. L., '05. a A Freshman Tragedy Fight maidens were coming in gaylv from class, Fach maid from her class as the hour's work was done; Fach thought of the joke that was told to her last. And scholars sat watching them all in their tun — For maidens must giggle and teachers must scold. Tho' no one knows why, and we’ve never been told. And the bi-monthly card be lowering. Fight maidens still giggled in Algebra class. And whispered and laughed as the pupils sat down; They looked for a “ squall ’ which they hoped would soon pas� . For Sims then came rolling up ’fore, all a-frown. But maidens must giggle and teachers must scold. Though storms may be sudden and pupils be told That the bi-monthly card is lowering. Fight maidens went marching from class very pale. In silence as tense as his wrath it was great; And classmates were weeping with moan and with wail. For those who had met with the terrible fate. For maidens must giggle and teachers must scold. And though it is awful, vet still arc we told That the bi-monthly card is lowering. Eight maidens marched round the assembly room wide. With pale sober faces and no trace of a smile, Tho’ bursting with mirth they scarcely could hide, Throughout that whole distance that seemed like a mile. For maidens will giggle and teachers will scold; If not, this sad tale I could not unfold. And leave the poor teacher still glowering. —R. M., ’06. Carol!

A literary and musical program is given, a luncheon is served, informal dancing is indulged in and every opportunity is given for the members to visit and enjoy them- selves in each others company. The Association has never attempted anything more than to bring the members together for a social time once a year. The gathering� are always enjoyable and many of the graduates travel many miles to be present upon the occasion of the reunion. The present officers of the Association are: Miss Fannie Scott, President; Frank Decker, Vice President; Edward J. Widdell, Secretary and l-ouis B. Weaver, Treasurer.

Which' The Polar FLxpedition to Rolling Prairie 0 INLY after calm and mature deliberation in a daw meeting which was disguised a a combination of Sioux war dance, anarchist picnic, and Mt. Pclcc in action, did the Class of 1903 decide to cool off their throbbing brows and heated brains by a bob-sled arctic expedition over the hills towards Rolling Prairie. Commissary and transportation departments were organized, variously, individually, collectively, vehemently, and elaborately instructed as to the details of their business and then promptly f forgotten, as were the instructions. But two bob-sleds with more than the usual quota of uncomfortable corners and gables were secured and a generous supply : India rubber oysterettes provided against the seven lean hours to roll' The expedition mobilized at the historic “Gym,” each individual as closely resembling a mummified Esquimaux as the available supply of ••.rapping wojld permit. An evil fate hung over the expedition from the s'a::. One Miss discovered she was sitting close to the driver, instead of the Pro-., and fled to the other sled with smothered screams. A dearth of girls or a surplus of boys threw a gloom over one sled load which was dispelled only by the incense of Sweet Briar and Bull Durham. Each division of the expedition shouted muffled orders to the other to “get the oysters” and “get Tommie,” and neither paid any attention :e other. Thus it happened that both sleds called for Tom and neither for the oysters, both items being necessary to the success of the exploring party, a the Teeter home was the goal of their journey. Gliding gayly on, -is , in-, -natches of still unfrozen songs, rousing the rural denizens by 1 of vocal explosions, by courtesy known as a class yell, oblivious of the great hunger which lay in store for them, the first sled went its way . Sparkling conversation, strained through three layers of shawl intermingled with “oxide of Dukes Mixture,” was wafted back in curling wreaths as a trail for the others to follow. o incident save the shrill crescendo of a muffled screech as they lurched from side to side on the prccipitious embankments, marked the progress of the first party. Bui not so with the second. Broken harness, an excited driver, skittish horses, and appalling yells, inspires! alternately by tear of capsizing and exultant joy at having escaped disaster, lent variety and a zest of excitement to the journey. The audible features of the trip also served to send flying back in mortal terror to their beds, the curious and inquisitive country-folk, who had ventured out to investigate the hair-rahing rumpus and to sniff wondcringly at the pungent trail of the prccccding sled. Scornfully ignoring the smoky trail of the pioneer sled, the driver of the second one steered bv the stars and his intuitive sense of direction, thus prolonging the gaiety of the trip by half an hour while unknown regions in northern Indiana were explored in the hope of again finding the trail. Passing through an orchard the spread- ing branches gently scraped off all bonnets, hats, caps, wigs, spectacles, hoods, and other varieties of headgear, with the calamitous result that many burning thoughts were congealed and much sparkling repartee frost- bitten within the chilled and benumbed pates. At length the trailing party arrived at the Teeter home and their pre- decessors rushed out to institute solicitous inquiries as to the health and good spirits of the oysterettes. Then did the awful truth stand revealed in all its ghastliness. The oysters had been forgotten 1 Some raved, others merely tore their hair or that of the refreshment committee, others fainted, some wept, a few were speechless. Then there arose a babel of accusations and recrimi- nations, a long discordant wail of anguish and despair which pierced the chilly air like the cry of a starving wolf. Fortunately for the sanity of the more hungry, sonic one — he w as never identified, and for fear of a similar 11S experience never confessed his indentity—appeared at the door with a basket ofluscious apples. With a frenzied rush the explorers bore down upon him, bowled him over, swallowed him up in a seething vortex of apple munchcrs, and lorgot him in their joy. But what is a class party without oysters: Verily like Hamlet with Hamlet left out. Soil same that R. W'ickersham and I.. Rumcly drove swiftly back over the dark hills to sleeping Rolling Prairie in quest of oysters. Oysters they would have, and violently disturbing the peace of the village with a daring born of desperation they finally awoke the butcher ar.d pur- chased his entire stock of two quarts. Heigh-ho, then for crackers! But of crackers, alas, there were none. Despondent, they prepared to return, but catching the glint of a light in a secluded structure they bore down upon it, and all unheeding, dashed into a saloon, on — on — forninst the free lunch counter, where behold, there were crackers, which they clutched with avidity. Tossing the astonished, white-aproned individual who presided thereabouts their remaining nickel, they tied out into the darkness. How- gay their return, how jubilant their song! But alas, yea, alas, once more! As they stepped from the sleigh they tr:; : . , lias! they fell, through, in and about, under and over, beyond and abaft, around and between those oysters, and “Oh, what a fall that was, my countrymen.” Gingerly, sadly, secretly, were those o sters picked up, more juice secured from the well, tell-tale evidence of the oyster baptism carefully removed, and then in triumph and with glad acclaim were they borne to the kitchen, and with high ceremonies delivered to the cook. CARDINSR RETURNS The unwonted mirth and festivi- ties, the tun, the laughter, the jollity and the joy which followed in the swift-flying hours has no place in this sombre chronicle. So again to our talc of woe. Returning, the absent-minded driver of the ill-fated second sled neg- lected to shift his quid as he rounded ” ;� f J the corner near the orchard, and gravi- tation did the rest. Heads, heels, blanket1. ye!'1, spectacle1, shawl1, overshoes. Seniors, Professor, and more or less pertinent and polite remarks filled the air, all soon descending upon the downy snowdr::: near by to disappear gurgling, gesticulating, and screeching into its billowy depths. All save one—she lav cold and stiff, with a grim smile on her countenance, and a wisp of the driver’s hair in either hand. Peggy” it was, and a dampened, sorrowful cortege, plodded beside the righted .-led as it entered Rolling Prairie. Then the mourners remembered that it was a� easy to ride as to walk, the Professor regained his equanimity, Pcggv” revived with a query concerning the oysters, and the cavalcade proceeded on its melancholy way. Certain of the boys chartered a One lb - Shay” of a beguiling liveryman, which collapsed a few miles from the city, leaving them but the runners on which to finish the trip. At sunrise the party returned, the last farewells were sleepily said, and the survivors sought their couches, later to awake to meet the as'cssmcnt levied to meet the party’s bills. —T.T.
