AEROPLANE PARADE FEATURED One of the largest aeroplane- pa rades ever seen here w a s staged over the city yesterday afternoon. Over two hundred planes, beautifully decorated, formed a line three miles long. Several prizes were given by t h e Bennethum Construction Company. Mr. Donald Cal- kins drew a gold propeller for the largest passenger plane, lie built the monstrous plane him- self and fitted it out especially for the parade. It is built on the plan of a small bungalow consisting of six rooms: a kit- chen. parlor, dining room, two Itcdrooms, and a large ball room, besides various pantries and closets. Mr. Calkins intends in in the near future to make a trip south with several friends, and to live in the plane over a month. Mr. Grove Warren drew the prize for the most attractive plane. It was decorated in red. white, and blue paper, and was very conspicuous even among the other Ray flying machines. Many thousands of people witnessed this sight standing Spell-bound over an hour watch- ing the parade. Dr. Frederick Dra Goo reported a large mini- l cr of eases of stiff necks this morning. LA PORTE WOMAN ESCAPES DEATH Miss Elsie Fridh, of Moscow. Russia, a former LaPortean. narrowly escaped death when that city was shaken by an earthquake. At the time of the quake. Miss Fridh. secretary to the Bolshevist ruler, was working in the Court House, which hap- pened to be out of its path. It was reported today that two hundred people were either seriously injured or killed. NEW UNIVERSITY ESTABLISHED T h c Reeder University at Kingsbury is now almost ready for occupancy, said Mr. David Reeder, president, today. Al- ready almost five thousand have signed up for the semester be- ginning next September 12th. T h c faculty, although not complete, consists of some of the best professors obtainable. Some of these are Miss Eleanor Lit- tleton. who is to be Dean of girls, and Miss Kathryn Scholl, Latin instructor, both formerly of this city. T h e president is also the founder. He received hU A. B. degree from Valparaiso Univer- sity. and his LL. I), degree from Lake Forest University, so is fully able to undertake his po- sition. CONTRACT LET FOR CANAL Tire contract for the Chicago Evansville canal was let to the Magnuson Canal Construction Co. of Chicago. From the plans it is to be the largest canal in the U. S. It will undoubted- ly put I «a Porte on the map as a great commercial city, not easily excelled. Indianapolis al- ready fears for her reputation as the largest inland city in the United States. Many LaPorteans will remem- ber Mr. Magnuson. who began his career as the great construc- tionist in the building of our beautiful viaduct at Madison and Pine I «ike Avenues, where the New York Central R. R. tracks used to be such a men- ace. NEW PLANE PURCHASED The new aeroplane bus recent- !� ■ purchased by the White and Wineholt Bus Company has been christened “Miss Mary.” LAPORTE TO HAVE NEW INSTITUTION Drhv to start soon. There is a lonely foresaken island near our busy city, where, amidst thick wixidland. rabbits and squirrels play unmolested by human beings. 'Hie leafy fol- iage of the oak trees, forming archways, overhangs the paths of Mother Nature’s fur folk. Birds, sweetly singing, call soft- ly to their mates from the tree- lops. After much consideration, this place, known to LaPorteans as Fislcr’ Island, was chosen for the new and much needed insti- tution. It is desirable in sev- eral respects, its beneficial loca tion. its wonderful natural beauty, and its absolute soli- tude. As for the building itself, the plans outline a four hundred thousand dollar structure with every convenience that anyone could desire. It will be five stories high, containing four hundred and forty-four and one- fourth large light rooms, easily accommodating seven hundred persons. There will l e broad sun-porches on the sides of the building with sleeping porches above. The drive for the building will soon be launched. The cam- paign manager is Mr. James Borden, a well known business man. Mr. Borden has long been interested In such work and volunteered his services willingly. The captains for the four districts of the city are: (I) Mr. Carl Dettmann. (2) Mr. Eu- gene Klassen. (3) Miss Frieda Klein, and (4) Miss Helen Clark. La Porte has long felt the need of an institution of this type, and soon her hopes will be real- ized. Because of the untiring (Continued on Png'- L Col. 3) , Thlrty-nevon DAPORTR. INDIANA, MONDAY.

One of our most distinguished women in Congress. Miss Dor- othy Vogt of LaPorte. has in- troduced a very important bill —one which has aroused more people than any previous bill. It has literally divided both houses of Congress into two op- posing factions. The bill in discussion deals with picture houses. Miss Vogt suggests that Congress pass a law prohibiting shows to be run on Saturday and Sunday. She states as her reasons that Sat- urday is pay day. and Sunday, a religious day set apart for worship, and therefore shows have no right whatsoever to open. “More money is used on Saturday aftcrmxm and evening in one month for shows than it would take to run a church for six months.” It is just a temptation for people paid on Saturday to spend , money recklessly for re- creation. People who can hard- ly pay their grocery bills spend huge sums of money needlessly. Of course, there arc a few arguments against such a bill, we arc almost positive that it will go through both houses with an overwhelming majority. LOST BOY CAUSES MUCH EXCITEMENT There was a great deal of excitement yesterday at the city bathing beach at Pine Lake when little Edward Soctjc, Jr., age three years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Soctjc of Chicago was lost for over three hours. The little lad had come out to the beach early in the after- noon accompanied by his gov- erness. Miss Mavella Chapman. He played in the sand for a long time never venturing near the water, so Miss Chapman, think- ing there was no need to worry alx ut the lad. was talking to Miss Esther Kincaid. About an hour later, the gov- erness looked around and found, much to her alarm, that Ed- ward was gone. She at first searched around the water's edge, thinking the lad had wan- dered off to play there. After fifteen minutes of futile search, she notified Life Guard. Henry Peglow. who immediately took up the search. The beach, as a last resort, was ordered clear- ed. to make the final search easier. Preparations were made to drag the lake. About this time the lad’s father, who had been summoned, arrived, and was vainly trying to soothe the almost frantic mother who had arrived a lit- tle before him. At last, when the search was at its height, and the onlookers intensely excited. Master Junior Soctjc walked out of a near-by barn, where, as he later explain- ed—“I was playing with the horsies.” NEW TREATISE TO BE PUBLISHED At last, the answer to a much discussed question, a question that has for many years mystified the public, has been revealed to the world. Miss Ruth Peterson, famous writer, has now published a treatise. “Mow I Got 98 in Physics. which will prove to be her greatest literary attempt. When interviewed this morn- ing by a Palmist reporter. Mr. Carl Krueger. Miss Peterson, after much questioning, stated. I studied.” NEW RESOR T OPENS ‘lite summer resort at Pine Lake opened yesterday, en- larged by a new d a n s a n t e , “Oh Min , owned by Ray Kara, a local business man. and man- aged by Warren Stcininger. ’Hie Iteautiful building consists o f eight hundred rooms, each elab- orately decorated with ivory and gold. The furniture is rosewood, carved by Chick Steigelv. The resort was built by the Bcnne- thum Construction Co., and cost S2.000.000.000. To celebrate the opening of the magnificent structure a large yacht parade was staged. The prize for the best decorated yacht was given to Miss Mablc Davis, well-known society wom- an. Another feature of the aftcr- noon was a house boat race which caused a great deal of ex- citement among the spectators. It is also rumored that many thousands of dollars changed hands in betting. To take care of the great number of bathers who will flock to the beach of the new resort, four new life-guards have been encaged. They are the Messrs. Frank Hcupcl, Henry Peglow. Robert Martin, and Lawrence Bass, national Red Cross life-guards. TYPIST MAKES TOUR Miss Catherine Taylor, a noted typist, is now touring Mars with the hope of cstab- Ishing several commercial schixils throughout our neigh- luring planet. Miss Taylor, it may Ik remembered, made a tour of Africa last year demon- strating her speed to the High School and College pupils there. CRANES MASTERPIECE Mr. Stanley Crane, the great artist, has almost completed his masterpiece, a portrait of Adeline Gaekle. Mr. Crane is noted for his portraits of fam- ous people. 'The picture of Miss Gaekle. the famous actress, re- cently starring in The Lum- ber Maid”, will probably be placed in the large art gallery, the one at Navajo, Arizona. Thirty-eight LAI'ORTB.

Mr. Wells has been c o a c h for several years of Indiana University and was at one time a noted ath- letic star. CICEROS ORATIONS PRODUCED IN PICTURES At last producers have suc- ceeded in putting Cicero’s ora- tions into pictures. The picture will be tried only on very small scale at first to see whether it can really lie done. Mr. Morris Johnson, presi- dent of the Johnson Film Co., ha often attempted putting this dramatic speech into pictures, but has until now failed on ac- count of the magnitude of the undertaking. Last summer Mr. Johnson chose a new cast including Mr. Howard De Meyer as Cicero, and Nancy Girard for 1 ullia. and began again with renewed spirit. 'Hie cast with their di- rector. worked for months, tire- lessly. and finally brought forth the production, of whose suc- cess or failure we have yet to learn.

Mis Alice Littleton, that his welcome was colder than he had expected. In the menagerie of this cir- cus are trained elephants, gir- affs. birds, skunks, toads, skele- tons, and orang-outangs.

Miss Fee, as sponsor to the children said, “You now must choose you a president.” So they met; they counseled; they argued one day, And from this couns’ling their minds were bent On Jim Borden, who said, “A party we’ll give That we’ll remember as long as we live.” At first glad games the youngsters played, And merrily danced the hours away. While jazzy Arbee’s held us in their sway. Then after a rest of three short months Each again his schoolroom hunts, Then making ready for a hard year’s work Brought an election we could not shirk. Henry Peglow as leader we chose. Though our numbers were many and activities few, And debate to us was something new, On the teams strong students we did place, And all do their best to win the race. Then we climbed the hill another mile And found we were Juniors after a while. We felt quite sure, with Don in the lead. That others of us would take great heed. A dance at turkey time we gave. And a Cupid Party that made the school rave. At our Junior Play we o’er shadowed them all. And many the praises to us did fall. At last at a prom we entertained, And mirth and happiness then did reign. There, at our wonderful annual ball. Forty-thre At last our great ambition won. To our new School as Seniors we come, And choose as our leader Ralph Hedstrom, And Dorothy Vogt to make our fun. To get acquainted a mixer we gave That many a Fresh ie’s life did save. A Valentine party was next in line, And to miss our play would have been a crime. For we did better than ever before. And now we’re not Seniors any more. Rut Alumni, aided by old Father Time.

Such is the Class of 1926. When on the second day of September 1922. one hundred and forty-nine light-hearted boys and girls entered the halls of higher learning to explore the territories of greater knowledge for the next four years, everything indicated a successful and brilliant career for them. That day this illustrious-to-be set of youths received the traditional name “Freshies.” The class of '26 was immediately organized. Miss Hampton was appointed their sponsor. Bo Martin was chosen to take the helm and con- duct the class through its first year, which he did with the utmost efficiency. Mary Elizabeth Briggs was chosen vice-president and Helen Henry, secretary-treasurer. The class experienced its first taste of school entertainment when the Seniors played hosts and hostesses to them at the Mixer. The class likewise en- tertained the mid-year Freshmen at a reception given in Feb- ruary. Thus endeth the first epoch of the History of the Class of '26. Chapter II After spending an enjoyable vacation, the Class of '26 again returned to their text-books, as Sophomores. Wasn’t it a grand and glorious feeling not to be called Freshies any more? No longer lowly Frosh, but haughty Sophomores! After the noses, big. small, broad, narrow and otherwise, had been counted, it was agreed that one hundred and forty-four students were to represent the Class of '26. This year Miss Hazel Brown was class sponsor, and the class soon selected its officers. Jack Fori y-eight Oehmke was chosen president and Alberta Homann and Catherine Tallant were selected to grace the offices of vice-pres- ident and secretary-treasurer, respectively. The haunts of Caesar and the angles and triangles of Geom- etry now loomed before these Sophomores, but the determina- tion manifested in them as Freshmen was again in evidence, and they were not bothered by these obstacles. Although up to this time the activities of the class had been brilliant to a certain degree, these Sophomores started their career as entertainers by staging a mock wedding at the High School Mixer. A distinct triumph was scored. The class of ’26 was represented in football by Bo Martin and Chet Kowalczyk, who with Inky Pease and Ernie Chapman represented the class in basketball. Josephine Bowman, Eloise Bueltzingsloewen, and George Griewank upheld the laurels of ’26 in debate. Finally, after gazing longingly at their ogre-grimaced, and knife-carved desks, and bidding the building a last farewell, for it was to be their last time in their old home of learning, they embarked upon a three months’ vacation, as flighty Juniors. Thus endeth the second era of the History of the Class of ’26. Chapter III After three months’ absence from school, the class of '26 was only too glad to answer to the roll call again in September. 1924. However, this year was the beginning of a new era in the school life not only of the members of ’26 but also of all the students, for the location of the High School had been moved to the new school building on Harrison Street. Miss Merle Brandenburg was appointed the Junior sponsor and the class soon elected its officers for the ensuing year. After a close race, Mary Jack was chosen to hold the reins of president, and Orville Coddington and Francis Fargher, as vice-president and secretary-treasurer respectively, were appointed her able assistants. Forty nine At Thanksgiving time, according to custom, the Class of '26 gave a dance. The affair was a great success, and served to re- confirm the social prestige the class had already gained. The all-star program, and the superior eats all materially assisted in making the Junior Dance the best ever held. The commit- tees under George Rowley. Alberta Homann and Eudora Brown, officiated with marked precision and were instrumental in mak- ing the dance a success. On March 27, the class presented its play “The Hottentot’ , directed by Miss Hazel Brown; Josephine Bowman and Ralph Petering played the leading roles, George Griewank, Harold Decker and Eloise Bueltzingsloewen assisted greatly in making the comedy the success it was and charmed the audience with their portrayals of the various characters, while Robert Savage. Ernest Chapman. Christina Hedstrom, Henry Luchsinger and Douglas Reeder ably played the minor roles. The Junior Prom with its interesting features was a fitting close for the successful social year of the class of ’26. During the Junior year the class placed its representatives on every team in High School. Leroy Pease, Bo Martin. Don Fisher and Chet Kowalczyk played on the football team; Ernie Chapman. Bo Martin, Inky Pease, Chet Kowalczyk and Emmet Blankschein represented the Silver and Blue in basketball. Thus endeth the History of the Class of ’26 as Juniors. —Ralph Petering, ’26 Fifty Sophomores—take care. Sophomores Beware! Now you think you’re awkward, And sometimes you are.

Lloyd Fifty-two CLASS OF '27 PIfty-throo The Sophomores When Father Time was looking over, the yearly report sent in by his representative at LaPorte High School, the imp who lives in the big clock in Mr. Wetherow’s office, he was surprised to see the records of two classes, written in gold ink. “My, my! This is very strange,” murmured the old sage. “The Sen- iors should naturally be discussed in gold ink, for they are graduat- ing and, besides they are deserving of this honor, but the Sophomores, what have they done? I hope my reliable representative didn’t make a mistake.” Very much interested, the anxious old spirit read the following account of the two years’ progress of the class of ’27. “To the Sophomores, hats should be taken off. and praises should be sung. Even in their Freshman year they showed wisdom by electing Hugh Blaney, President; Jack Line, Vice-President, and Luella Loetz. Secretary-Treasurer. Along social lines they seemed to be exceptionally gifted, for their entertainment at the Mixer was received very enthusias- tically, and their jolly, enjoyable Freshmen Reception still is remembered and commended, and will be for many years to come. In other lines the little Freshies seemed quiet, but it is the way of all first year students to be obscure. During this time however, they were not lagging, but preparing themselves for great fame in their second year. “The Sophomores! Did their wisdom continue to shine? This ques- tion is sufficiently answered when one learns that Mary Helen Fargher was elected President; Jack Line, Vice-President, and Monty Shick. Secre- tary-Treasurer. They are represented in athletics; they had men out for football who are going to be star players next year. They have the cham- pion team of the High School in basketball, and this team carried ofT the silver cup. In all High School organizations they shine, and they also succeed along social lines. These second year men can put up some of the best entertainments, as proved on a Wednesday morning program and at the Mixer. Most important of all, they always do their bit and support their High School, doing their best in everything to make her name stand high, and aiding all her undertakings.” Closing the report, Father Time smiled and whispered to himself: “I might have known the Imp wouldn’t make a mistake; the class of ’27 certainly deserves to have its name spelled in gold.” Agnes Berger.

Louise Fifty-six CLASS OF '28 Fifty-Mown The Song of the Freshmen (With Apologies to H. W. L.) Should you ask me whence these Freshies, Whence these red cheeked lads and lassies, With their Algebras and English, Their Histories and Caesar, Boys who sport their first long trousers. Girls with shy and wistful glances. Trying to appear unconscious Of the giggles and the murmurs Of the Sophomores and Juniors, Should you ask me whence these Freshies, I would answer, “From the highways, From the avenues and byways Of this pretty Maple City Came these Freshies with their school books To the new and stately building In the center of the city.” Our class had one great advantage; No one laughed at our confusion; Searching class rooms, hunting lockers. Juniors, Seniors, all were puzzled. One fine day the class assembled And elected Miss McCarty To preside at all our meetings; As a “vice” we chose “Chuck” Weller, Martha Tallant, secretary. Organized, we were so splendid That the Seniors gave a mixer To display our wondrous Udent. Music, dance and entertainment. We enjoyed them to the limit, And we thought it very fitting This be given in our honor. We are good and we admit it. We are “L. P. H. SFreshies. Louise Loetz. FIfty-eijrht When school began last fall. LaPorteans were introduced to a new coach, S. H. Leitzman. formerly of Auburn. At the opening of the football season, he was con- fronted by a difficult proposition, that of developing a team from a squad of green and inexperienced men. By hard work, patience and persistence, he succeeded in put- ting a fairly good team on the field for the first game. As the season progressed, he made several changes, both in playing and in lineup, and by mid-season had one of the best teams in Northern Indiana. By the end of the season, football fans consid- eret! La Porte the best team in their section of the state; this is a glowing tribute to Coach Leitzman. The 1921 football season, the second since LaPorte resumed the game, was highly satisfactory. Facing a hard schedule, the Orange and Black fought hard, winning seven games while losing only two. Only three teams were able to penetrate the un- flinching LaPorte line for touchdowns. The crowning achievement of the season came in the last game of the year when the Orange and Black sent their traditional foes, Michigan City, home on the short end of a 28-6 score. No one could write an honest account of La Porte’s gridiron accomplishments without making special acknowledgment of the work done by the scrubs, who did much to make the varsity what it was. S. II. Leitzman Athletic Director Fifty-nine George Ellis Clarence Pease Dale Wells George Eli.is—Senior—Fullback. “JoscarV ability tb pick his holes and plunge through the line for yardage was remarkable. The biggest man on the team, he was the hardest to stop. His weight and tight will be missed on next year’s team. Ci-ARKNCK Pease, Captain—Senior—Right Halfback “Jud was the headiest, steadiest, surest player on the field. His un«sual speed, driving power, and head work made him a real team leader. The Orange and Black loses Captain Pease by gradu- ation this year. Dai.f. Wei a —Senior—Quarterback. Dale’s” superb generalship helped the Orange and Black out of many bad holes and was re- sponsible for a lot of our wins. Dale's punting and place kicking was remarkable. It will In- prac- tically impossible to replace his leadership in future years. Opening the season against the fast West Hammond eleven, the Orange and Black demonstrated that they meant business by defeating them 7-0. By means of this pre-season game, Coach Leitzman was able to get a line on his players for the coming games. Sixty i n Adolph Berger Leroy Pease Donald Fisher Adoi.1'11 Bk rckr— Sen ior—Tackle. Adic was a sure tackier atid a clean player. Always putting hi� Inst into the game, he seldom came out tasted. While not a flashy player, he was a consistent line man and few gains were ever made through him. Leroy Pkask, Captain-elect—Junior—Knd. Although Inky” was rather light, he made up for it in a fierceness of attack and defense that caused bigger men than himself to think twice before attempting a reckless journey around his end. Inky was on the receiving end of a large percentage of the successful passes. Donai.d Fisher—Sophomore—Tackle. “Don” was a hard, clean fighter with unusual ability to slop plays headed in his direction. Working his way from the scruta to the varsity, he turned out to be a wonderful tackle. He ought to ta a whirlwind next year. The following Saturday, the squad journeyed to Lowell and came out victorious by a 14-0 score. Capt.-elect Pease snatched a pass for one touch- down, and Johnson picked up a blocked pass behind the line of scrimmage, and trotted 20 yards for the other. Slxty-one Norman llubner H«i Marlin Henry Peglow . Norman I IriiNF.R—Sophomore—Guard. “Norm , weighing about 15(1 pounds, composed mostly f fight and nerve, won his way from the scrubs to the varsity by his hard tackling and his splendid defensive work. Norm ought to be a wonder the next two years. Bo Mamin—Junior—Center Bo , possessed of a bulldog tenacity that failed to let go. held down the position of center tn great shape. Always fighting, he was never outfought from the beginning of the season to the end. I If.nry Pro low—Senior—End. “Hcinic was one of the fastest men on the squad and especially good at receiving passes. In the Valparaiso game he grabbed off three passe f- r touchdowns and his work in this game was largely responsible for I.a Porte's victor)’. Valparaiso visited LaPorte on Oct. 4, and was sent home convinced that LaPorte had a real football team. It was a sweet revenge for the 12-0 defeat handed LaPorte on a muddy field the previous year. Final score, L. P. 25, Valpo 0. I.utrdlc Barnes Charles Norris Paul Johnson l.i iki.iii Barnes—Junior—Guard. “Bamscy was one of the best defensive men on the squad. His work in the early part of the season was especially commendable. With the experience he mined this year, he will be a sure bet for the guard position next year. Charles Nosh is—Senior—Halfback. “Chuck was another man to work his way from the scrubs to the varsity. Chuck was a deadly tackier and a hard worker. I le showed exceptional ability in running the ends. Paul Johnson'—Senior—Guard. The “Fire-chief held up his portion of the line and was a veritable stonewall on defense, besides being one of the surest offensive men on the team. He recovered fumbles and blocked kicks for three touchdowns during the season. Coach Leitzman’s scrapping eleven next took a trip to Gary to meet the Froebel team on Oct. 18. For the entire first half the (Leitz-men) bat- tled their heavier and more experienced opponents to a standstill. Froebel came out on the heavy end of a 10-0 score, but the Steel City critics were forced to pay tribute to the fight and agressiveness of the visitors. Sixty-throe LA PORTE PUBLIC UBfMP LA PORTE, INO. Lixivii Cummkrford—Sophomore—1 la! flue k. “Lloyd was the fastest man on the team. Playing for the first year, he alternated with White, and was a hard man to stop. Lloyd has two more years on tlv team and great things are expected of him. He is the only liackfield man left to the squad. I Ioward Df.Mykr—Senior—Tackle. “Howie was a hard man to get through, and was good at making holes for the liackfield. Hr was always at the bottom of the piles and always came up with a smile. 'Hie squad will lose a valuable man in Howie. Sixty-four Roukkt Wiim:—Senior—Iialfbacle. “Bob , a hard fighter, seemed to be a natural bom football player, playing the game by instinct rather than by experience. “Bob's specialty was running the ends and driving off tackle. On the following Saturday, when Coach Leitzman’s eleven encountered the Goshen team, everyone predicted a defeat. Unmindful of everyone’s thoughts, they fought the more experienced team and came out of the game on the heavy end of a 7-0 score. Our second and last defeat came on Nov. 1, when the husky Mishawaka crew came over and handed us an 18-7 walloping. LaPortes celebrated aerial attack was unleashed in the last quarter, but it was too late to over- come the lead of the Mishawaka team. Slxty-flve LA PORTE, 27; WARSAW, 0. A long trip to Warsaw followed on Nov. 8. The Orange and Black ma- chine was now at its best and gave the Warsawites a 27-0 beating. The feature of this game was the manner and the time in which the first two scores were made. Two “Red Granges” from the middle of the field put the Orange and Black in the lead in the first three minutes. LA PORTE, 56; Plymouth, 0 LaPorte 56—Plymouth 0. “Nuff sed”. It seemed every player on the team made a touchdown. Coach Leitzman used every player that came out on the field with a suit. The scorekeeper stated that thirty-five men saw action in this game. LAPORTE. 28; MICHIGAN CITY, 6. LaPorte closed its gridiron season on Nov. 22, when Michigan City came over to visit us. To the uninitiated this means little, but to the 800 hoarse-voiced fans who watched the battle on the E street gridiron, it meant that the scrapping Orange and Black eleven had again sent their traditional foes home with the tale of a 28-6 loss. Captain Pease brought his high school football career to a brilliant close by making three touch- downs. Sixty-six The 1924-25 season witnessed a new era in basketball. For the first time LaPorte won a sectional tournament. Then the team surprised every- one by winning the regional tourney, thus earning the right to enter the state finals. The “Slicers” won nineteen and lost but six games throughout the en- tire season and those six were to the strongest teams in northern Indiana. Coach Leitzman’s men piled up 929 points during the year against 653 garnered by opposing quintets. The new gymnasium attracted many townspeople to the season’s games. And, aroused by the gameness of the team, they kept coming. So the Slicers had better support than any preceding team wearing the Orange and Black. In several games the gym was so closely packed that the doors had to be closed to late-comers. Yelling was not only developed but organized to a higher degree this year—and a burst of cheering at the psychological moment spurred the Orange and Black on to greater efforts and often to victory. In looking back over the season we must not forget the second team, the varsity of tomorrow, the men who stood the hard knocks. Without their co-operation LaPorte would not have had its “Best Team.” LAPORTE. 33; EAST CHICAGO. 10. After one short week of practice, the Orange and Black quintet started the basketball season against the speedy East Chicago five. Although we lost by a 40-33 count, the team showed promise of becoming one of the best teams ever turned out by the LaPorte High School. LAPORTE, 32; MISHAWAKA, 19. After another week of practice, the Leitzmanites began to show their stuff, defeating Mishawaka easily, 32-19. Coach Leitzman used this game to get a line on his substitutes, using thirteen men in the course of the game. Slxty-spven Pease Wells Martin “Inky” Pease—Closely followed Wells in total points. It was largely through “Inky's ability in the overtime games that enabled La Porte to go to the slate tourney this year. Watch out for Inky next year. Dale Wells. Capt.—All sectional and all regional forward. Given honorable mention in the state selections. Best all around player ever turned out by I .a Porte High School. Null sed.” Bo Martin—A steady hard tighter who gave all he had to the team. He took special delight in rolling up points against Michigan City. Bo i a junior and can be expected to show up again next year. LA PORTE, 41; EMERSON (GARY), 31. Everyone was agreeably surprised when the Slicers came home with the bacon on their first out of town trip. Emerson, of Gary, was the vic- tim. Score 41-31. Wells gathered 22 points during the evening's enter- tainment. LAPORTE. 36; WARSAW. 27. On the night following the Emerson game, the Slicers took on the War- saw team. Ten men saw action in this game, everyone giving a good ac- count of himself. Final score, 34-27. LAPORTE. 26; PROEBEL (GARY). 39. During the holiday season, Froebel, of Gary, invaded our camp and left on the heavy end of a 39-26 score. Froebel had three of the fastest men we have ever seen. It was largely thru Pollizotti’s floor work that the Slicers were defeated. Sixty-eight Pcglow Johnson Lindgrcn “I Icinic Pcg!ow— I Icinic’' could always be relied upon to get a basket when called upon. He was third in total points, scoring 108 points in the regular season. Paul Johnson— Stonewall Jackson. as he is called by the coach, played back guard in an in- comparable manner, slopping the offense of the opponents at all times beside� rolling up 48 points during the season. Merton l.indgrcn—It was Mert's first year but as the season progressed so did Men’s playing. He played a whale of a game toward the end of the season. He could play cither the center or back guard | sition. Lingdren is lost through graduation. I. A PORTE. 28; WHITING, 26. Still under the influence of the holidays and the after effects of the Froe- bel game, the Slicers barely nosed out the Whiting five. 28-26. Whiting had us in at the half, 19-12. but through perseverance and fight we finally pulled out on top. LA PORTE. 10; GOSHEN, 33. For thrills this game was easily the best of the season. 20 seconds before the final whistle the score stood at 31 all. One of the Slicers, who had just been sent in, started talking to his teammates, which constitutes a technical foul. Goshen tried a free throw but missed. Dame Fortune was certainly with us that night. In the overtime the Slicers got their bear- ings and made 9 points while holding Goshen to a lone basket. Score 40-33. LAPORTE. 52; ELKHART. 29. Jan. 16. the date of the Elkhart game was nicknamed “Red Hot Night.” Everyone shot at the basket and almost every shot counted. At the end of the game the scorekeepers gave a weary sigh and stated the score was 52-29. Rlankschcin Chapman Kowalczyk WarJ Emmet Blanschein—Emmet did not pet into a suit until the second semester, but when he fought his way to the first team. A fast man and a pood shot. Ernest Chapman— Ernie.’’ although he did not pet to play in every game, was a consistent scorer and a very good defensive man. He has another year and should Ik a valuable asset to next year’s team. Chester Kowalozyk—Chet did not get in many games during the regular season but was in the limelight when we beat Rochester in the regional tourney. Ilis wonderful work in this game will never ! c forgotten. Next year Chet should fill a regular berth at running guard. Norris Ward—One of the fastest men on the floor, only a sophomore, and much can be expected of him in the next two years. He should make a good running mate for Pease next year. I. A PORTE. 29; SOUTH BEND. 34. Accompanied by a large delegation of fans, the Slicers travelled to South Bend hoping that it would not be the same old story but, alas, it was. Shafer, South Bend center, went through our defense time after time and made his baskets. At the finish the score board indicated a 34-29 defeat. I. A PORTE. 35; VALPO, 23. The Slicers on the following Friday took the measure of the Valpo five at the Valpo armory, 35-23. It was a very ragged game, neither team dis- playing any great basketball, but we won, anyway, so what’s the difference? I. A PORTE, 12; PLYMOUTH, 29. The night after the Valpo fracas the Slicers again came back to their old form and walloped Plymouth, 42-29. “Inky” Pease was the high point man, getting 10 baskets and 2 free tosses for a total of 22 points. Seventy LA PORTE, 51; MICHIGAN CITY. 17. (LP,., 51 M. C., 17. Look at it again. LP., 51 ; M. C., 17. This one- sided victory was even beyond the most ardent Slicer fan’s prediction. Bo Martin took the honors, gathering 15 points during the game. Even the substitutes made baskets on the Michigan City guards. LA 1 01(1 E. 30; KEN DALLYILLE, 26. Playing on a 2 by 4 floor, the Slicers won a hard-fought game from Kendall ville, 30-26. The score at the half was 16-5 in our favor, but the Kendallville forwards got busy in the last half, shooting baskets in the length of the floor, but not often enough to beat us. LAPORTE, 38; MISHAWAKA, 32. The Slicers next took a trip to Mishawaka to see their new gym. Evi- dently the Slicers liked it for they came back on the long end of a 38-32 score. Inability to hit the hoop in the second half almost cost the Orange and Black the game. LAPORTE, 21; ROCHESTER 30 On Friday, the thirteenth of February, Rochester, hailed as one of the best teams in the state, came up to do us battle. At the end of the first half the Slicers led, 19-11, but in the last half they didn’t get a basket and only 2 free throws, while Rochester piled up 19 points to win easily, 30-21. What was the matter, Slicers? Friday, the 13th. new suits, or what? Well, we’ll play them again at the regional tournament and we can find out then. LAPORTE. 58; VALPARAISO, 16. Evidently the Slicers were a little peeved at the treatment handed them by Rochester for the next night they crushed Valpo 59-16. Wells, Pease and Peglow were the shining lights for LaPorte. LAPORTE. 27; MICHIGAN CITY. 22 For the second time LaPorte handed Michigan City a beating. But it was not so bad this time. The Slicers got 27 while Michigan City hustled to get 22 points. LaPorte had the largest following at this game that had ever accompanied a LaPorte team on a trip. Many people were forced to return without seeing the game due to the small capacity of the “Barn.” LAPORTE, 38; SOUTH HEM). 30. Probably due to the stiff game played against Michigan City the pre- vious night, the Slicers dropped a hard-fought game to Elkhart by a 35-33 count. Peterson, Elkhart ace, ran wild during the game and made 9 baskets, which was largely responsible for our defeat. LAPORTE. 38; SOUTH BEND, 30. For the first time in four years, LaPorte made South Bend bow to them, 38-30. The Slicers were at the top of their form and if they play as they did in this game, we do not see what or who will hinder them from going to the state tournament. Sovonty-ono Sectional Tournament Thanks to the new gymnasium, the sectional tournament was held in LaPorte for the first time. On March 6-7 nine teams battled for the su- premacy of our district. The teams entered were—Michigan City. Union Mills, Union Township, Springfield Township, LaPorte, Kingsbury, Still- well, Wanatah and Westville. For once the dope bucket ran true; La- Porte and Michigan City met in the finals with LaPorte the final victor. LaPorte’s first game against Kingsbury proved to be a farce, the Slicers winning easily, 64-2. The next game with Union Township was expected to be much harder but it was a repetition of the first game, the final score being, 60-9. While LaPorte was taking it easy, Michigan City was having a hard time getting to the finals, beating Union Mills, 26-9, Westville, 21-11, and Stillwell, 21-16. all comparatively weak teams. Comparing the records of the two teams, LaPorte was conceded an easy victory—even the Harbor fans staying at home, so sure were they of defeat. Michigan City started out with a spurt and held the lead during the early stages of the game. The second half saw the Slicers improving little by little and they gradually crept up to their rivals and tied the score before the end of the second half. In the overtime period, the Slicers be- gan to play the ball they were capable of, and ran away from the Harbor- ites. At the end of the overtime period the score was LaPorte 27, Michi- gan City 24, and for the first time in the history of L. P. H. S. basketball, we were sectional champs. Regional Tournament After winning the sectional, the Slicers and Coach Leitzman turned their attention to the regional tournament held at Gary on the following Saturday. About 300 enthusiastic fans accompanied the team to Gary. The Slicers, although they had the hardest schedule, came through with flying colors, and with Froebel were entitled to go to the state tournament. Mishawaka, the first team we met, was not expected to furnish much opposition, but like Michigan City, they were a bunch of fighters and were only conquered after another overtime game. In the first half, every- thing was LaPorte, in the second half everything was Mishawaka, and when they counted up the score they were tied at 27 all. But again, the Slicers showed that they had plenty of reserve strength and by a fighting finish they conquered Mishawaka, 35-31. Seventy-two The second game, with Rochester, was expected to be the downfall of the Slicers but on the contrary, they won it by a 10-point margin. Rochest- er lost heart in the middle of the last half when Wells made a pretty shot from a spot well past the center of the floor. But Wells didn’t stop; he kept it up, shooting them left handed, right handed and any way and when he got tired he let Pease in on it. Kowalczyk, playing his first full game, played a wonderful game at guard. Martin and Lindgren were scrapping at all times and deserve as much praise. Johnson at back guard kept the score down by fine defensive work. The 300 loyal fans, now a howling mob, began to make plans to go to the state tournament. When the team landed home 1500 LaPorteans held an impromptu cele- bration. Flags, horns, colors and fireworks were in evidence everywhere. The whole town paraded thru the streets, the school band at its head and leading the team in a triumphal march. Literally LaPorte went basket- ball crazy. State Tournament After winning the regional at Gary. LaPorte was considered a dark horse in the state tourney, as every dope bucket in the state was over- turned when we beat Rochester. But our life as a potential champion soon ended for we lost our first game at the state. No doubt, the only cause for not going farther in the state tourney was stage fright. Our opponents. West Point, were much heavier and had had more experience before large crowds, such as invaded the Coliseum at In- dianapolis. Now for the game. West Point led at the half, 12-5. When the second half started West Point had worn out its stage fright. They began shooting them in at all angles and gradually crept away from LaPorte. In the final minutes of play, the Slicers evidently forgot their scare, for they began to play their usual game, but it was of no use for the gun exploded soon after their rally. Wells made three long baskets in the final minutes. Coach Leitzman used all of his men when he saw how hopeless the battle was. Frankfort even- tually won the tournament by beating Kokomo in the finals. Although the Slicers did not go as far as expected in the state tourney they deserve much credit for the wonderful record they made during the past year. It was the first time that LaPorte had ever been represented in the state tournament. Seventy-three I .eft to right—Coach Pease. Walker. Barr. Savage. Hubner. Ctitninerford. Petering. I.indewald, Tallaut. Cloutier. Chruback. Hail to the second team, the able assistants of the first squad during the most successful season ever known to LaPorte. It was largely through the practice received from the seconds that the first team went as far as it did this year. Clarence Pease, ex-high school star, coached the second team and deserves much credit for the good work done by the squad. While the seconds won only three out of eight games, they deserve praise for the way they scrapped against their heavier and more experienced opponents. Several good men were developed during the season, and next year Chro- back, Hubner, Savage, Tallant, Cloutier and Cummerford should be fight- ing for places on the first squad. Summary of the season : LaPorte, 17; Union Mills. 11. LaPorte, 15; Froebel, 18. LaPorte,6; Stillwell, 31. LaPorte, 15; Michigan City, 16. LaPorte. 17; Rolling Prairie, 7. LaPorte. 23; Stillwell. 25. LaPorte, 20; Michigan City, 25. LaPorte, 22; Stillwell, 13. Seventy-four LaPorte had a very successful baseball season, winning every game played. Although only six games were played, the local outfit won from the best teams in northern Indiana. Mert Lindgren and Web Magnuson composed the battery for the Orange and Black. LaPorte was greatly handicapped by the ineligibility of Lornie Bass and Dale Wells, both regular pitchers of the 1923 season. Mert Lindgren stepped into the breach and his twirling, coupled with sensational support, won every game. Web Magnuson held down the catcher’s position and his accurate peg kept the runners hugging the bases. Web was also a heavy man with the stick. Henry Peglow played the difficult position of shortstop and accepted many chances without error. Bo Martin again won a berth at first. Bo was in the spotlight all season because of his sensational fielding. Bud Line established a reputation as a heavy hitter in the first game and kept it all season. Waite Fridh at third could always be relied upon in a pinch to knock the cover off the old apple. Ora Thorpe covered the right garden and few flies escaped him. Schultz’s specialty was a beautiful peg to second. Ejnar Fridh was a consistent fielder and batter. The reserves were. Ward, Chet Kowalczyk, Chapman and Boklund.

The St. Joseph Valley Baseball league, composed of school teams from the following towns, Goshen, Walkerton, South Bend, N’appanee, Middlebury, and LaPorte, came into existence this spring, taking in the best teams in northern Indiana. Besides the regular league games, LaPorte will participate in four outside games with the following teams: Whiting, East Chicago, Emerson of Gary, and Plymouth, making a schedule of 14 games. Lindgren is back, doing the twirling, with Wells, Martin and Peglow in reserve. Barnes and Wells will take care of the receiving end of the battery. The infield con- sists of Martin, first; Boklund, second; Peglow, shortstop; and Kowalczyk at third, with several good men in reserve. Flickinger, Ward, Chapman, Weiler and Malysiak will form the outfield with other good material in reserve. Scores Date Versus At LP.

Seventy-six 1924 (loaches Rovcnstine and Schell issued the call for track late in March and sixty men responded. Rains and slow rounding: into condition kept the men back. The coaches had to build up a new fighting machine, as nearly all the material was out for the first time. The squad was handicapped by the ineligibility of several stars of the preceding year, among: whom were “Jud Pease, Chase, and Merrill. Inky Pease won recognition in the field by jumping higher than his head. He is also a valuable dash man. George Banker was easily the most sensational sprinter LaPorte has turned out in recent years. Banker broke the county record for the 220 yard dash. He placed fourth in the century at the State meet. Steele again showed up well in the mile run. Other men who gained prominence during the season were Blaney, Berger, Mag- nuson, Steigely, Krueger, and Martin TRIANGULAR MEET Plymouth and Mishawaka at LaPorte—April 26 The final standing was, Plymouth, 63; LaPorte, 24; Mishawaka, 12. However, the meet was much closer than would be expected by glancing at the score. Only a short margin separated the winner from the losers in a majority of the events. However, Banker easily walked away with both the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Steele captured first in the mile. Dual Track Meet at Gary—May 21 La Porte’s hopes for victory ran high as we had easily won from Froebel the year before. But due to a misunderstanding several of the best point gatherers attended the Junior Prom and were consequently dropped from the squad. La Porte lost to Froebel. Banker and Pease were the outstanding men. 1925 From all indications the track team of 1025 will be better than any team ever turned out by the Orange and Black. There is a large squad out practising daily. What encourages one the most is the fact that the Freshmen and Sophomore repre- sentatives are doing excellent work and with the aid of Coach Loitzman, who is con- sidered one of the best track coaches in the state, should give a very good account of themselves in future years. Due to ineligibility several stars of former years have not been able to join the squad, whom are Clarence Pease, Ellis, Miner, and Cast. It is Coach I.eitzman’s aim this year to get the public and the lower classmen interested in track. In previous years so little enthusiasm has been shown that coaches did not push the sport, but this year Coach Leitzman wants the sport to be pushed enough so that it will be on a par with basketball and football.

Out of seven matches played, six ended in victory for the local men, while one. with Emerson on May 10, was tied at 3 to 3. On May 31. how- ever. LaPorte defeated Emerson, 4 to 2. Chuck Boklund was again captain of the squad, his successful record of 1923 giving him the honor. He played No. 1. Hupp filled No. 2 position while Peglow and Montague played Nos. 3 and 4 respectively. The results of the matches: May 9—LaPorte, 4: South Bend. 2. May 10—laPorte, 3; Emerson (Gary), 3.

Boklund, Mon- tag, and Peglow are the veterans on the team this year, while Martin and Wells fill the other berths. The schedule for this year: April 18—La Porto at Froebel (Gary). April 25—Froebel at LaPorte. May 2—Michigan City at LaPorte. Seventy-nine lOiKhty Miss Edith E. Olson has this year taken up the duty of Physical Di- rector of the girls, and under her supervision rapid progress has been made. This fall when Coach Olson issued the call for Bloomer and Middie Warriors”, many responded, some with previous experience, and others with ambition only. The entire group was divided into three teams which were captained by Frances Grisez, Eloise Anderson, and Edna Mae Swan. A tourney was held in order that Coach Olson might choose a first team. It was a trying but interesting job, because of the large field of material. Some were small, but fast and snappy, others were larger and had the nec- Elghty-ono essary strong arm. But after much careful deliberation the representa- tives of La Porte High school were chosen for the team. The first team is: Right Wing—Frances Grisez. Right Inside—Edna Mae Swan. Center Forward—Eloise Anderson. Left Inside—Lucille Earll. I-eft Wing—Irma Drinen. Right Half—Casimira Kowalczyk. Center Half—Marjorie Littleton. Left Half—Bernice Doolittle. Right Full Back—Marian Blankschein. I eft Full Back—Bertha Loose. Goal Keeper—Eleanor Littleton. Substitutes: Jennie Donkin and Dorothy Vogt. Although no outside games were scheduled, much practical experience was received from the tourney, and all hope that after spring practice, L. P. H. S. will have inter-class competition for her female Orange and Black defendants. Klglity-two The year 1925 marked the organization of a sport begun last year by the girls of L. P. H. S. This year basketball was formally introduced as a school activity by Edith E. Olson, girls’ physical director. The coach took up the task early this winter when only a few of the girls had had practical coaching in this sport. By March every girl in High School had had a chance to play, not only in the Physical Training classes, but during the sixth hour coaching period, and after school. About twenty teams were organized among the different classes, and in this way every girl wlio wished to continue was given an opportunity to show her ability in this sport; then a preliminary tourney was held in order to select the class teams. These games showed that there was real basketball ability among the girls as well as the boys. Most of the games were fast and close, thus causing much enthusiasm. After several weeks of preliminary games, the teams to represent the classes were chosen. Nine girls were picked for each team. The year 1925 is the first year in the history of the LaPorte High School that awards for athletics have been given to the girls, and many things were taken into consideration in deciding who should be given sweaters. A Point system was used to classify the feminine accomplishments. A place on the class hockey or basketball teams counted ten points. In track, ten, five and three points were awarded for those placing first, sec- ond and third respectively. Ten points were also given for membership in a physical training class. At the end of the school year, the fifteen girls who received the great- est number of points, received the awards. Eighty-three Isit to Right-. SENIORS—Nina Drincn. Catherine Taylor.

Therefore a player who takes part in athletics must be first of all a first- class student. The tournament between the class teams started with the speedy Sen- ior-Junior game, the latter victor by a 6-5 score. The Freshmen won from the Sophomores, and the Seniors came out victorious against both the first and second year teams. The Juniors conquered the Freshmen 10-5, and the Sophomores 11-8. By winning every game this swift team was pro- claimed champion. Eighty-four The planning and creating of the El-Pe has been no small task—but withal a genuine pleasure. The faithful assistance of the staff, the faculty and the students, and the generous co-operation of the citizens of LaPorte deserve an expression of our gratitude. This book has its defects due to limitations of time, experience and money. We offer it to our school as a stepping stone to better editions of the El-Pe in the future. THE EDITORS.

The Board of Control was introduced into LaPorte for the first time, this year. The idea of such an organization was suggested by Supt. E. B. VVetherow, and the plan is in use in many other cities. Its purpose is to have a systematic manner of handling school money. The board consists of the Principal, Mr. Ludlow, and six teachers, Mr. Hyde, Mr. VVesler, Mr. Leitzman, Miss Davis, Miss Seaman and Miss Deerhake. Three stu- dents on the board are: Ralph Hedstrom, president of the Senior class; Mary Jack, president of the Junior class; and Howard DeMyer, editor-in- chief of the Hi-Times. Kiichty-wvcn A new experiment was made this year in the introduction of a High School newspaper. For many past years the students have desired a school paper but not until this year were their hopes realized. Early in the year a vote of the student body elected Howard DeMyer editor-in-chief of the organization. A contest was held soon after to choose a name for the weekly publication, and Clarence Dean Chipman was awarded first place. On October 24. the first issue of the long looked- for paper was published under the name “THE H 1-TIMES”. The paper has in every way been a complete success, and has thoroughly served its purpose, that is, “to instill more school spirit and co-operation among the students.” Unlimited credit must be given the members of the staff who have worked untiringly to make “THE HI-TIMES” the success that it has been. Miss Deerhake, in charge of the literary field, and Miss Andrew, as the main advisor in the business phase, have proved invaluable factors in guiding the members of the staff in their novel undertaking.

Andrew Eighty-nine MUSIC PREVIEW The Musical Department of LaPorte High School has been greatly en- larged this year. Several new organizations have been formed and the older musical clubs have taken on more serious and business-like attitudes. The Amateur Musical Club is an entirely new undertaking, as well as the Boys’ Glee Club. A High School Band has also been a big feature of this year’s musical development. The Girls’ Glee Club, the High School Chorus, and the High School Or- chestra complete the list of musical organizations in the school. Students were again trained to take part in the Music Memory Contest this year, and a special course “Appreciation of Music” was introduced as an elective subject. In order to take care of the large development in this held Mrs. Lola R. Vawter came here this fall to assist Amos G. Wesler. Their constant co-operation with these various divisions have shown re- markable results. Mr. Amos G. Wcsicr Mrs. Lola R. Vawtcr Rand, Roys' Glee Cluh Musical Supervisor Ninety Standing—G. Yelinek.

ORCHESTRA The orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Lola Vawter has made much headway during the year. Several entertainments have been given by them, and they have taken part in many programs in the auditorium. They played at ‘‘Honor Bright,” the all-school play, and the Junior and Senior plays. Those that make up the orchestra are: Piano Alberta Homann Mary Elizabeth Briggs Violins Lucy Collins Rannald Cummings Joe Malysiak Celestine McCarver Jonas Palm Ray Parker Harold Petering Monty Shick Marjorie Shutler Francis Steigely Mildred Troy Alice Vawter Gustaf Yelinek Cello Eudora Brown Frederick Steigely Cornets Ralph Gast Aden Long Harold Moyer Delmar Wollert Clarinet Harold Duke Albert Eherenman Tuba Harold Handley Trombone Glenn Sweitzer Raymond Ball Saxophone Helen Kashmer Trumpet Stuart Ludlow I°P Bow I-eft to Right—I).

President; Loreen Chapman, Secretary; and Louise Brown, Treasurer. The girls gave an operetta “Three Springs” by Bliss, in the school audito- rium.

BOYS’ GLEE CLUB An addition to the Musical Department of LaPorte High School was made this year in the form of a Boys’ Glee Club. This organization composed of approximately fifty boys was formed the first part of the school year under the direction of Amos G. VVesler. Since then the boys have met on every Monday and Wednesday and have made commendable progress in their new line of work. On several occasions the Boys’ Glee Club has proved its worth before the general assembly, when the musical program given by them was en- thusiastically received by the audience. Extensive plans are being made for next year’s work to increase the significance of the organization. Niwty-three HIGH SCHOOL BAND One of the biggest successes of this school year is the High School Rand. This group composed of nearly thirty-five members has done more to increase school spirit in L. P. H. S. than any other organization. In its appearance at every home game on the schedule, both football and basketball, the High School Band has re-awakened a brand of loyalty and school spirit in the student body that has been sadly lacking in the past few years. On the two occasions, the South Bend and Michigan City basketball games, when the Band accompanied the team, it gave LaPorte High School a certain prestige that will be long remembered. On February 4, the play “Honor Bright” was presented by an all-school cast, the proceeds of which were used to purchase uniforms for the Band. The boys make a very striking appearance in their navy blue serge sailor uniforms with bright orange trimmings. A great deal of credit is due Amos G. Wesler who has put forth all his efforts to make the Band a success. Much of the training of the boys is also to be credited to Mr. Ira I oos, in whose charge the members received instructions last year. Ninety-four Top Row—Left to Right—M. Shick. Franci� Stcigdy. II.

JUNIOR AMATEUR MUSICAL CLUB One of the most interesting and active of the new organizations of the High School this year is the Junior Amateur Musical Club which is spon- sored by the Senior Amateur Musical of the city. It was organized in December. 1924, with more than thiry members. Miss Marie Henry and Mrs. Vawter have given valuable assistance to the club by their co-oper- ation. A varied program is given twice a month by the members, which offers an opportunity of appearing before a musical audience and at the same time instills in them a better appreciation of classical music. A guest from the Senior club performs each time. The members of the club are very much interested in it, and they hope that as it grows it will increase in membership and popularity.

HI-Y CLUB The LaPorte Hi-Y Club was organized in 1922 with Mr. A. E. Brunoeh- ler. Boys’ Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. as sponsor. A. E. Jackson was chosen as this year’s Faculty Advisor. At present there are approximate- ly forty members in the club. Its purpose is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. The group advocates clean speech, clean scholarship, clean athletics and clean living. The club’s activities for this year have been many and varied. On Hal- lowe’en night they presented a Ghost Walk at the Y. M. C. A. that enter- tained the town. The members also brought Charles Paddock here to ad- dress the public. Many of the Hi-Y boys attended the conference at Peru this fall, and in February a Hi-Y basketball team traveled to Muncie to compete in a tourney with fifteen other teams. The officers for 1925 were: Francis Fargher_____________________ President LeRoy Pease_____________________Vice-President Charles Boklund______________________Secretary Frederick Steigely___________________Treasurer Ninety-six DEBATE One of the most extensive schedules ever undertaken in LaPorte High School in the debating field was carried out this year. The question debated on this year was “Resolved that the Phillipinos should be given immediate and complete independence.” AFFIRMATIVE TEAM Niles Anderson, captain of the affirmative team, is a calm, deliberate speaker and a quick thinker. Dorothy Vogt is a reliable worker and a determined speaker. Morris Johnson possesses a forceful delivery and the power to con- vince his audience. Elston Larson as alternate proved a dependable assistance to the team. NEGATIVE TEAM Adolph Berger, captain of the negative team, is a consistent worker and a forceful speaker. Charles Morse presents his arguments in an eager and accomplished manner. Erret Cooper is a thorough worker and a very convincing speaker. Donna Anderson, as alternate, was of invaluable aid to her team. LA PORTE-SOUTH BEN I) Meeting South Bend in the first debate of the season. LaPorte’s Af- firmative and Negative succeeded in making an even break with the de- cisions. The Negative, debating before a strange audience, was able to pull through with a 2 to 1 decision in their favor. The Affirmative team at home lost by the same judgment, although it was a very close contest. Nlncty-fievcn LA PORTE-ELK II ART The second debate of the season was featured with the same results as the first. The Affirmative, who made the out-of-town trip this time did their utmost, but could not come through with a victory. The Negative team, supported by an attentive home audience, again came through with the favorable decision. LAI'ORTE-MICHIGAN CITY In LaPorte s third debate she met her old rival, Michigan City. The Affirmative team made the trip to the Harbor Town and returned with a third defeat, the score being the same as in the other two, 2 to 1. The Negative remained home and successfully defended the honor of the school by winning a 2 to 1 decision. LA PORTE- MISH A W A K A With a stern determination to close the season in the best manner pos- sible, the Affirmative team making up for its past defeats, gained the unanimous vote of the judges over last year’s winners of the Northern Indiana League. The Negative team speaking in the new Mishawaka High School against an unexpectedly strong team won a 2 to 1 decision and thus came through the entire season without a single defeat. Miss Dorothy Hoover as coach, although new in the held of debate, was of valuable assistance to the team and is to be complimented upon the teams she succeeded in turning out. DECLAMATION AND ORATORY The field of declamation and oratory this year under the arduous supervision of Miss Pearl Young helped to place LaPorte among the lead- ing schools of northern Indiana. Twelve girls and six boys took part in the preliminary try-out, from which six girls and four boys were chosen. The girls were then reduced to four, eliminating Christina Hedstrom and Imogene Heise. On April 20 a contest was held within the school with four contestants in each field. The boys were Howard DeMyer, Russell Classman. Edwin Clawson, and Morris Johnson, while the declamatory contestants were Luella i oetz. Louise Simon, Josephine Bowman, and Henrietta Miller. In this contest Russell Classman placed first with Edwin Clawson second, tying him in rating, but not in percentage. Of the girls Josephine Bow- man took first with Luella Loetz a close second. Later, on April 29, an interscholastic contest was held at LaPorte, and four schools besides LaPorte entered. Mishawaka, Plymouth, Elkhart, and Michigan City were represented. In the judgment of the oratorical con- test, Albert Philion of Mishawaka, placed first, and Russell Classman took second place. The results of the declamation contest gave first honors to Josephine Bowman. Ninety-eight OCTOBER. Dear Diary: Please do not think I am neglecting you. but I decided to tell you this year only my biggest and best secrets. I could not possibly omit telling you about tonight. The annual Senior Mixer was put on in the new High School gym, and it surely was great. Berger’s orchestra and a clever program added to the enchantment of the evening. All seemd to enjoy themselves. NOVEMBER 25. Diary Darling: Only a month since you last heard from me. and 1 have just come from another wonderful affair. The Juniors gave a Thanksgiving Dance tonight, and I certainly feel sorry for anyone who missed it. Berger’s orchestra was again engaged, and was as peppy as ever. The program tonight was the best I have ever seen put on at a school affair. Everyone enjoyed it. The dance was a complete success. APRIL 17. Diary Dear: Many days have passed since the last school dance, but that made us have a better time at the Senior Spring Dance tonight. The dance was presented in great style. Clever programs in the senior colors, purple and gold, as well as the decoration of the gym added much to the occasion. Berger’s seven piece orchestra played as it never has before, and the result was the peppiest, fastest and most democratic dance that 1 have attended for ages. Everybody, it seemed, had a wonderful time. MAY 22. My Diary: Diary, dear, listen—tonight was the big social event of the year—the Junior Prom. A big banquet and later a wonderful dance with a keen orchestra made the evening one of perfect enjoyment. All looked so nice in their semi-formal clothes, and just everybody had a good time. This is the last dance of the school year, but don’t worry. Diary, someone will be back in September to keep you posted on all the coming events of next year. Nin ty-nlnc COMMERCIAL CONTEST This year in contrast to previous years the state was divided into districts for a commercial contest LaPorte entered twenty-one students in the district meet at Mish- awaka April 18, and succeeded in placing second in total results. Mishawaka placed first and was allowed to keep the pennant. In beginning typewriting Albina Svcc took first place while the other places went to other outside schools. Although we entered the advanced typewriting class we failed to place. In penmanship Mildred Bair was awarded first place; in bookkeeping Elmer Guinther took third, and in advanced shorthand Hazel Stahlberg placed third. The beginning shorthand team of LaPorte proved a surprising feature of the con- test when it walked off with all the honors. Marjorie Shutler placed first. Louise Simon, second, and Dorothy Vogt, third, all with exceptionally high grades. According to the rules of the contest any individual on any team placing first in the District was entitled to enter the State contest at Muncie, Indiana, on May 1st. Six LaPorte High School students were eligible to go. They were: Albina Svec, Louise Simon, Mildred Bair, Anna Hlavsa, Marjorie Shutler. and Dorothy Vogt. At the time the Kl-Pe went to press the State contest was still several days away, so it is impos- sible to print the final results, although everything looked favorable for L. P. H. S. LATIN CONTEST The Extension Division of Indiana University conducts a Latin contest each year in five divisions of work. This year it was estimated that 12,000 Latin students entered the local contests. At the preliminary contest, in LaPorte Jane Zahner. Marian Egbert. Agnes Berger Henry I.ucksinger, James Hupp. Alice Vawter, Doris White, and Gertrude Krenzke won, and represented their respective divisions at Michigan City, February 28. The winners of the contest, Jane Zahner, Marian Egbert, Agnes Berger. James Hupp, and Gertrude Krenzke, went to South Bend March 28th, to compete with the winners of the other counties in the 13th district. Jane Zahner and James Hupp re- ceived the highest grades in their divisions and went to Bloomington April 17, to the final contest, where sixty-three contestants competed for final honors in five divisions. James Hupp won the silver medal in the division which he represented. MUSIC MEMORY The Music Memory contest is a most beneficial game. Forty selections must be memorized with correct spelling of name, composer and nationality. Eliminations began in the High School for the H. S. contest, the winners competing in a county, nex$ in the district contest, then in the state. One team of three winning in each of the twelve districts participates in the state contest at Indianapolis The records are played for five seconds. This year LaPorte was fortunate to have the Music Memory team of Alice Vawter, Doris Olson and Ruth Peterson go to the state where they won second place. One Hundred SEPTEMBER 2.

One Hundred Nine One Hundred Ten PREVIEW The High School’s Dramatic Season, 1924-25, was singularly successful; three very clever plays were presented in the school auditorium. The first was Honor Bright a rollicking comedy of three acts. The play’s suc- cess was largely due to the wonderful coaching of Mrs. Sewell Leitzman, a newcomer in our midst who has made a name for herself in our annals by her first venture. Then under Miss Brown’s able direction the Juniors presented “The Hottentot” which played to a large and appreciative audience. Several amusing playets were presented before the student body by Miss Young’s Public Speaking Class. Miss Young is to be commended for her fine work and it is evident that a Dramatic Club would bring to our attention more talent such as is now under Miss Young’s direction. The climax of the year was the Prince Chap offered by the Seniors with Miss Deerhake’s experienced guidance. This successful offering closed the season. In each case the greatest credit for the success of the plays must go to the coaches who have worked with much patience and perserverance. Deveda Deerhake Senior Coach Hazel Brown Pearl Young Junior Coach Public Speaking Instructor One Hundred ICIevon “The Prince Chap”—Senior Play The action of this comedy-drama occupies twelve years, during which time Claudia Arrington develops from a ragged tot of six years to a charming young woman of nine- teen. William Peyton is a young American, an artist-student in London. He is engaged to Alice Travers, and having only enough money to meet his expenses he is asked to face a desperate situation, when Mrs. Arrington, a former model, and now on the verge of death, asks him to care for her daughter, Claudia. When Claudia reaches young womanhood the plot becomes more complicated, but in the end, as the story-tellers say “everything ends happily.” Smooth accomplished acting on the part of principals, and the characterization and splendid co-operation of the minor parts made this production an undeniable success. Miss Deerhake must be congratulated for her wonderful coaching and the fine re- sults of her work and patience.

It concerned the stormy fortunes of one Sam Harrington who was afraid of horses, having lost his nerve in an accident. But unfortunately the girl he loved. Peggy Fair- fax, asked him to ride her horse. “Bountiful . Harrington thought he was in a predica- ment until he faced the necessity of riding the “Hottentot” a brute” with a cranky and dangerous disposition. Mrs. Chadwick, a widow of the flighty and gushing type, caused several humorous complications, together with other characters, among them. Swift, a well-meaning but altogether unwise butler, and Perkins, a nervous groom. The action of the comedy was swift and moved along smoothly due to the excellent characterization of those taking part, and in a very great measure to the fine coaching of Miss Brown.

Complications are sure to arise arid in the case of Richard Barrington, wealthy scion of a Boston first family, they do. Because Tot Marvel, Dick’s fiancee, of the “Snap It Up” company has missed the train that would have brought her to the Barrington country estate, Dick is in a quan- dary but is saved by the timely appearance of Honor Bright, a Nebraska college girl, who is a book-agent along Boston’s North Shore. Suspense is created and sustained by Tot’s unexpected arrival and the necessity for quick thinking and quicker action. But Tot decides that she is in love with Bill Drum, her press agent, and Honor and Richard are left sighing for evening and the moon-rise. The comedy was clever, the action swift and the different characters well and con- vincingly portrayed. One Hundred Fourteen Om?

I BEG your pardon. Really, it was all my fault. Awfully careless of me, I assure you. DO let me help you carry all those books. No, I wouldn’t think of letting a little girl like you carry all those Encyclopedias by yourself. No, that’s etc., etc. “Whew”, thought Dick Darling, a great, big Senior. “SOME keen girl! She must be a new one in school. Oh Boy! those eyes, blue as they make ’em; and how she pouts that adorable little mouth! I see who Dick Darling is going to date up with this winter. Wonder who she is?” The “keep girl” was trying hard to appear very stern but wasn’t suc- ceeding very well and only looked more charming than ever. Her eyes would twinkle and “that adorable little mouth” persisted in arranging itself in a more alluring shape every second. Dick finally found out that “she” was bound for Room 13; and so with a lordful air he escorted his delightful new “find” through the busy, seething corridors. All the boys whom he ran across first looked puzzled, and then giving him a second look after “she” was given the once over, broke into a broad and an exceed- ingly discomforting grin (to Dick). Every boy he passed seemed to be en- joying a huge joke, and when finally even all the girls began to smile, Dick sensed that something, somewhere, was vitally wrong. WHAT in the world was it? Yes, his tie was straight; a reassuring pat on his head assured him that his hair was as sleek and smooth as it could be, and last but not least, his socks were not coming down. Unable to find anything wrong with himself (still keeping up a brave front) he examined his companion. There certainly was nothing the matter with her. Good gravy! Was she? Yes, she WAS laughing at him. Her eyes were alternately laughing and twinkling at a bewildering speed. “WHO is she? WHAT was the matter with me?” Dick asked every one at school that day. The answers were never satisfactory, and Dick asked those same questions over and over again far into the wee hours of the morning in his sleep, but still asked them in vain. It was generally noticed about school the next day that Dick Darling was “dressed up” more than usual. The boys indulged in knowing winks and the girls giggled and tittered in a most astonishing manner. Dick searched the halls so diligently for “her” that as a result he was late for every class, but nary a glimpse of “her”’ he had. He begged and he threat- ens Hundred Twenty-live enecl. but all in vain. The mouths of his friends had apparently been locked with key and bolt and not a word would they say of Dick's new girl to him. One day he caught a glimpse of her. He started to yell to her to stop but how can a young man tell a girl to stop and wait for him when he doesn’t even know her name? He COULDN’T say “Stop, “her” I want to talk to you” And so poor Dick was foiled again. It was the following week and Dick was still looking for his “dream girl” as he now termed her. He came, he saw, but no. he didn’t conquer. There she was talking to Miss Puckers, Puckers, the Prim, as she was playfully called by students, Miss Puckers the fearless, the Invincible, “master of men”. Oh Joy! He would ask Miss Puckers her name! She had eluded him again but what did that matter? Dick was going to learn “her” name at last. “Miss Puckers”, he stammered, he stuttered, “cocould you ttell me that ggirl’s name that you wwwwere jjjust ttalking to?” “THAT”, said Miss Puckers, ‘master of men’, is the new Zoology teacher.” Margaret Elshout ’27.

What Angels and Orphei have not played and sung!—What Chopins and Wagners and Puccinis have not composed and dramatized it. what Vincent Lopezes and Isham Joneses and Paul Whitmans have not syncopated it. and what sons and daughters of ladies, constantly exclaim- ing “Oh. yes I want my Albert to be a perfect musician some day” have not drudgingly practised it. accepted it as a deed of penitence.—Music! Rob Thompson was also “forced” into practising on his violin, but, dif- ferent from other “some day going to be prodigies” he liked his violin. To him it was a patron fairy, who would daily hear his tribulation and console him with music. He would daily practise it every spare moment which he had and would always practise classical airs.—no syncopation for Rob. One hot summer night Bob was practising on his violin. The rest of the family were at a theatre party. Rob was in the music room and the French windows were open, (Mrs. Thompson had read somewhere that Jenny Lind practised with open windows) and the breezes went into the room with a subtleness that equaled that of an Invisible Cloak. Rob had already practised an hour when he heard a footstep on the patio outside, and he crossed over to the open window. Suddenly a sharp pain shot through his head, and he fell. When he awoke, he was in a long golden hall, at one end of which sat a handsome, majestic man. As Rob advanced, the figure arose, moved to meet him, and accosted him with these words: “You are now in the realm of Apollo, the God of Music, who has heard of your playing on the violin. Behold, I am Apollo, and daily you shall play in my orchestra here”. So Rob inspired the orchestra with his classical, celestial preludes, overtures,and andantes. Gradually, however, since Rob still had some of his earthly qualities, he sickened of the too sweet angelic melodies. So one day. when he thought himself unobserved, he syncopated on his violin h bit. A homesick fever clutched him. He played several more measures, and the orchestra stopped. Apollo had raised his arm. “Who dares”, he cried, “who dares desecrate Olympian music?” Rob rose, and Apollo glared at him. “Then be banished, oh earth-born, be banished forever” and Rob awoke in his room again with a thankful prayer on his lips. Quickly taking up his violin, he played a scintillating fox-trot, and drank deeply of it. Oh, what he had missed! From then on. Rob gradually left the classical and so invented syncopated music which seemed to him and everyone else much more natural on earth, and it was. Moral: Syncopation belongs to Earth; Classical Music to Heaven. George Griewank ’26. One Hiimlr.il Twonty-H«ven Pike’s Grin Not far from our place up in Wisconsin is Mud Bay, which is a whale of a feeding ground for fish, and a good place for visiting Isaac Waltons to indulge themselves in their favorite dissipation. In Mud Bay there was known to live a whopper of a pike. This old boy was variously estimated to weigh from 20 to 30 pounds. He was wiser than the proverbial owl and in dodging snares and store baits he was slicker than the slyest campaigner of a fox. One week a “bunch of swells” came up from Chicago bringing all the new fangled tackle with which the tenderfoot is in the habit of cluttering up his vacation-satchels. Big Pike’s history soon became known to them and every mother’s son of them was primed to catch old Foxy, and show up the local piscatorial artists for the pikers that they were. On a favorable day the “Smart Guy” of the crowd found himself sit- ting on the rocks at a place where he could look down in the clear, deep water. He must have been fishing for an hour or so when all at once he saw old Foxy-Pike come lazily floating through the water, around a jut- ting stone. Young Charlie then became rather fussed as the victim came closer and closer, and he cast his bait nearer and nearer as Foxy came on, but the latter coolly ignored him. Then unexpectedly the fish made a dive and grabbed the bait. Not a bit scared, he followed as he was reeled closer and closer to shore. The eyes of the onlookers simply bulged with glee as the joys of Charlie’s triumph seemed surely to be realized. The odors of baked pike could almost be sensed when all of a sudden the old bird gave his tail a derisive wiggle, and disgorged a good sized live perch that had swallowed the bait. The broad grin on the map of that Pike as it easily slid away around the corner of the rocks was something to remember, and that’s a cinch. One Hundred Twenty-eight There is a port at hand, where tired ships may lie. Safe from the raging winds and sheltered from the sky. Rut, near, fired Etna burns, and sounds with awful growl. And time and time again she throws out flames most foul. Belching dark clouds of smoke, fuming with embers blurred, She spits forth globuled flames that lick the starry herd. The entrails of the mount and scragged rocks she sends. While molten lava, scorched, upsent, the heaven rends. And on and on, forthwith, the bellowing we hear. While white hot embers hiss, and seething fires fly near. The legend oft is heard of grim Enceladus Who in the mount is hemmed, and rumbles forth to us. He breathes through craters burnt, and twists, when tired he grows, Thus curtaining the stars and thrusting forth hot blows. Fair Dian shines but dim, held in the murky skies, The whole night through, ’tis thus, until the darkness flies. G. F. G. ’26. RAIMENT Why does the bright and gilded East, W’hose people wear the gayest garb. Send thee up so oft. Oh Sun, In solemn gray? Why does the bare and dusty West, Whose people seek a worldly gain. Clothe thee in raiment bright with gold? Oh Lamp of Heaven! Perhaps the heart of ancient East Is sad beneath her gaudy cloak And saddens you. And the fresh young heart of the Golden West Beats a sincere note beneath its dark. And gladdens you. Orville Coddington. One Hundred Twenty-nine A Meat-Eating Heroine She was good-looking, but then she was bound to be. Who wouldn’t be attractive if every day of one’s happy young life was absorbed in the cul- ture of bringing out one’s good points? Such was the case of Patsy. Never had a day gone by when her silky, curly hair was not brushed, her exer- cise overlooked, or her diet forgotten. Never had a month slipped past that the dentist had not poked at her teeth, and the doctor had not exam- ined her eyes, ears, nose and throat, to see that they were in an excellent condition. In other words, Patsy was perfect! Now. if a girl is perfect, she wins a beauty contest, so Patsy won one. The prize, as it is in the majority of cases, was a job in the movies. The job, as seventy-five examples out of one hundred are, was in Hollywood, so Patsy went there and we see her getting off the train with her own French maid, Izzie. Patsy had one fault, she enjoyed mischief too much. As soon as she had left the train, which had been her prison for three days, and as soon as Izzie’s back was turned, she decided to run away and lose some of her superfluous energy, so run away she did. and did not stop till six blocks separated her from Izzie’s reprimanding finger. The air was full of loud, martial music. Ah! Around the corner came a large sailor band, followed by grinning, marching gobs in blue uniforms. Patsy watched very interestedly. Suddenly one of the marines caught her eyes. He was young, handsome and fascinating. Yes, too fas- cinating. and our heroine, quite overcome, ran out in the street and walked at his side. He didn’t speak to her, it was against orders, but he winked! And such a wink! For many blocks Patsy walked at his side, and would have leaped on him in—in sudden friendship, only it didn’t seem quite maidenly to do such an act. At last, after an hour’s walking, the order to “break ranks” was given and the ranks broke into a thousand pieces. But this one particular sailor turned around, walked over to Patsy, took one of her white hands, (her hands were also small, like fluttering pigeons, you know), and gazed into her calf-like eyes, which were as big as platters, and he seemed to be about to say something. What he was going to say is unknown, for just then Izzie came running up in a red-faced temper, grabbed Patsy, gave the gob a look that would have floored any man but him. and, having called a taxi, rode off in it with the heroine. Days passed, and the movie work began. Patsy was the leading lady of a play entitled, ‘‘If One and One Makes Two. Why Are Apples Read?” She enjoyed her work very much, until one day, in the midst of a love scene, she got too temperamental and bit the leading man. Another time, when the manuscript called for a dinner scene, the camera man was late, and Patsy ate the meal before he came. All things must end; so did the preparing of the play. On the night Ono Hundred Thirty of its initial showing, Patsy, in all her triumph, went to the theatre with Izzie. The play was a success, a marvel, except for one thing, Patsy had understood it to be a tragedy, for all the actors died in the end. but the audience howled, (they didn’t laugh, they howled) all the way through. One thing was certain though, the heroine looked lovely in every scene. When reflecting about the play, she was proud of herself. Her hair always looked white, silky, and curly. Her eyes sparkled every minute. She walked gracefully. “Yes, indeed”, she thought. I certainly am a cute lit- tle poodle. But the leading man! No wonder the audience laughed. I should never have been cast with a Police Dog. But such is the way of life!” And our little puppy heroine sadly laid her head on her paws and went to sleep. Agnes Berger. Our Old Home Oh, Freshies, how can we tell you what you have missed by never hav- ing lived in the old High School? “Them were the days!” Those of us who have, can you ever forget the basement rooms? No light, less air, too much heat, or none at all, shaky desks, or butchered tables? But there was something about them we liked. And could you ever decide whether it was best to stand against the wall or be squashed five in a seat for the general assemblies? The Old School had its traditions. There were time honored legends of past athletic achievements, and of wonder students, and of athletes. There were only two floors and sixteen rooms “sans” the basement, but you knew every freshman, fly, and desk in the whole place. A fellow had time between classes to escort his “one and only” down the short, murky hall, go after his books, and still have a long chat with his neighbor in the next class. Now in our large up-to-date school, we have enormous advantages over last year, such as more subjects, an immense auditorium for chapel morn- ing exercises and plays. The two gyms combined hold the large crowds for the basketball games. , But the intimacy is missing. Even the teachers complain. Miss Hoover never can visit with Miss Jones unless she goes up to see her purposely. Imagine Miss Anderson ever seeing Miss English. Yes. the old-time com- panionship is gone—at least, almost. Airplanes and elevators installed in the building are the only things that could bring it back. Even then we would not be the jolly good friends we were in the dark, dingy, red brick High School.

SPRINGTIME 1 heard today a robin’s song So pert and clear and sweet, It made me think of a wood I know Where a creek and a river meet. This spot I remember is brilliant.

And the river is fast and strong, But the purl of the waters together. Hold the notes of that robin’s song. R. W.
