H, S., a life of pleasure, mingled with hard work that has all been Worth while. Before us We see the clamoring, tur- bulent, outside wlorld, which W-e are soon to enter, and in which we hope to apply the truths we have learned here. Yet a few more days and we shall have left L. H. S. -and shlall have plunged into the Battle of Life, pur- porting to hew out a. place for our- selves. We realize that then We can never again be a part of this High PAGE 5 EI El Foreword El El School, except in spirit. The build- ing that has sheltered us for four long years can be to us only a treasure house of sacred memories. Our basketball games, our debates, all our good times together, and all the activities of the four happiest years in our lives-, will live only in the inmost recesses of our minds. But before we go, we wish to leave, as preceding Senior classes have left, something tangible by Which, in after years, we can recall the memories of those happy days. For this reason We present this Annual, which con- tains our best efforts to make a grand summary of all the happenings of our last and most important year.

NOVA ROBERTS. T THE AGE of seventeen I was deprived of both my parents through the wrecking of an aeroplane on which they were journeying 'from Cincinnati to Chicago. The Carrier Pigeon was the largest, swiftest and most powerful of the trans-continental line of airships plying between New York and San Francisco, and they had taken passage on board it for that very reason. On reaching northern Indiana, however, the weather grew stormy and as they were crossing the southern point of Lake Michigan, a sudden cyclone crumpled the planes of the mighty machine and all on board were engulfed in the angry waters of the lake. When my father's business affairs had been settled, I found that I was penniless and was, therefore, obliged to look around for some means of earning a livelihood. At this point an old friend of my father's, a newspaper pro- prietor, offered me a lowly position in his establishment, and I, having no other alternative, accepted. I began at the bottom and by hard work and application climbed steadily upward. In five years I had become a member of the literary staff for the Sunday Clarion, a publication put out by the firm, and one of my duties was to furnish a full- page story for its magazine section every Sunday. Now those not on the inside may imagine that I had a pretty ea.sy thing, and so I thought at nrst. But by the time I had worked at it a year I found that to write an up-to-date story every week, with a n-ew and exciting plot, entirely diferent from anything I had ever written or read, was easier to say than to do. However, I was ambitious and energetic and stayed with the job so closely that finally my health gave way, and my physician ordered a comfplete rest and change of scene. To take the .ocean voyage which he suggested was en- tirely beyond my means and I began casting about to ,de- cide where I should go and what I should do. It was al- together accidental that, while carelessly turning ov-er the pages of a daily paper my eyes fell on a For Rent ad setting forth the attractions of a furnished house in a town called Lebanon, in Indiana. Some unaccountable impulse seized me to investigate and I found, on inquiry, that Lebanon was an ancient town some twenty-eight or thirty miles northwest of Indianapolis. Well, why it was I am sure I could not have told, but the very next Week found me established in the adver- PAGE 48 page tised house. I had brought a man along to do the cook- ing and act as general utility, and we were settled quite comfortably. The house was all that the advertiser had claimed for it. Its large rooms, lofty ceilings and immense windows indicated that it had been built when fuel was not, as it is now, a consideration, probably in the latter :part of the nineteenth century. It was in excellent repair, conven- ient and almost richly furnished, and altogether there was about it an atmosphere of restfulness and dignity which soothed my mind and was as balm to my shattered nerves. And then the sleepy old town, with its broad, maple- shaded streets, its great court house, set in the old public square like a. gem in its casket, and its cozy, substantial homes-if quiet was necessary to my recovery, then good fortune had led me thither. One warm, rainy afternoon, I climbed to the attic and opening a window, seated myself in an old arm chair to listen to the rain-falling on the roof, a sound which had always been as music to my ears. From my position I could look away for several miles over the green fields and scattered groves, with her-e and there a cozy farm house set in the midst of fields of ripen- ing grain. Then I be-gan to glance around the place. I idly picked up an old magazine from a dusty stack close to my chair and began turning the leaves. Taking up Hrst one and then another, I found them to be a collection of high school magazines entitled The Pennant, dated PAGE 49 1914, and glan-cing through them I became interested in a. story entitled The Yellow Aigrette, written by one Lois Moore-. It was a continued story and hunting up the other numbers in which it appeared, I read through from Hrst to last. I was surprised at the able manner in which the young writer had handled her subj-ect in the limited space allowed her, and soon the idea occurred to me to take it as a foundation of a story for the Clarion, The writer, I reflected, even if living, must by now be old and feeble and probably had long ago forgotten ever having written such a tale. Anyway, it was -a rattling good storyg too good to lie here in dusty oblivion. So mentally, I began going over the plot, adding a little her-e, and elaborating there in order to make of it a full story. Suddenly, I became aware of a dim figure standing close to me in the shadow of the sloping roof. Looking up in surprise, I saw a young girl, dressed in the quaint garb of the first years of the twentieth century, as they appear in pictures of that time. Her scant skirts presented an odd contrast to the voluminous flounces and ruflies of today. She was gazing at me with indignation, her eyes fiashing with suppressed anger, and as I stared, she spoke. By what right, sir, do you invade this garret and seize upon my property with the intention of appropriating it to your own use and benefit? Your property? I stammered in dismay. I do not understand you. What property of you-rs have I seized? My own original story, she answered, published in the L. H. S. Pennant in the year 1914. A light began to dawn on me. But how do I know it is your story? I demanded. She held forth a slender, shadowy hand, in which was clasped a time-stained manuscript. I looked closely and saw that it was headed in a school-girl hand, The Yellow Aigrettef' Here and there down the page were interlin- ings, erasures and other marks, indicating that it was the story as it had first emanated from her youthful brain. I was about to reply when I became conscious of a ter- rible rumbling and jarring as though the very foundations of the earth were being broken. I glanced up, but she was gone, and it took me but a moment to realize that I had been dreaming and had been awakened by a mighty peal of thund-er, the echoes of which had scarcely yet died away. There was the crumbling Pennant open in my hand and there was the story over which I had been poring, ere I was lulled to sleep by the sound of the falling rain. Of course our conversation had been much lengthier than I have recorded. I cannot at this date remember all she said. The fact is that this dream girl had given me a regular calling, and so vivid was the impression left on my conscience that I gave up all idea of reproducing her story. Well, the summer passed and as the weeks went by my mind and body regained their wonted vigor. So early in the autumn I left, with much regret, the quiet haven to which I had drifted, and returned to my duties on the Sunday Clarion About two years after this I met and fell in love with a beautiful girl, Louise Browning, of Louisville, Kentucky. From the first there was something about her that re- minded me of some one I had met before, 'but try as I would, I could not decide who it was. One summer evening I called at her home to accompany her to some place of entertainment. Although the twi- light was gathering the lights had not been turned on in the room into which I was ushered. Suddenly, without warning, Louise stood before me amid the shadows, and instantly my mind leaped back to that rainy afternoon in the garrett, and the enigma was solved. Louise, I said, you are the reincarnation of a spirit who visited me once in a drearnhbut whom I never met in the iiesh, although I have proof that she really lived away back in the first years of this century. VWho was she? asked Louise, with wide-eyed interest. I believe her name was Lois Moore, and she was the author of a story called 'The Yellow Aigrette,' I answered. Then with her bright smile that had first Won me, and with shining eyes she exclaimed: Why, Lois Moore was my grandmother, and I have often read 'The Yellow Aigrettef Then I told her th-e story of my vision. PAGE 50 Lucile's Honor. UCILE GRAVES dropped into a chair in her pretty bedroom, leaned back and clos-ed her tired eyes. She was entirely Worn out, but now it was all over -even the commencement that she had looked forward to through all her high school life. .She let her mind run back over her 'happy school days, though the pleasures had been interspersed with some unpleasant experience. But, after all, what had she ac- complished at school? She had never been as popular as some of the other pupilsg s-he had never Won any honors for the school 5 though she had sometimes taken parts in high school plays, they had never been prominent on-esp and she smiled as she remembered she had never even had a case. What had she accomplished? She did not feel one bit wiser than she did the day she entered high schoolg in fact, high school had make her realize how little she knew. PAGE 51 After a few' minutes she opened her eyes and glanced at the table covered with commencement gifts. Ah, she had forgotten her annuals. She picked one up and began to turn through the pages, looking at all the familiar faces until she came to her own. She wondered what had been written under her name. She had not had time to look at it before. Now she read: Words fail to express our appreciation of Lucile. Her unselflsh attitude, combined with her rare sincerity, have made her an inspiration to the other members of the class. A tinge of color came into her face as she read it again and let the book drop into her lap. Well, if that is the Way my classmates feel about it, I have not Wholly failed,', she said. I should rather have them say that than to have Won all the honors. -J. B. 'l5. Class Histor . ll,1....i. According to the Scrap Book of One of the Members of the Class of l9l5. CLUTCHED my pay envelope tightly in my hand, shoved my huge, ridiculous box more securely under my arm and bounded up the creaky, Wooden steps into that pitifully barny, paint-hungry, smelly boarding house. My sixteen-year-old heart beat wildly, gladly, against my thirty-year-old breast and my mouth was puckered into the happiest whistle that I had ever' achieved. I beamed broadly upon the assembled boarders in the large parlor and straightway bolted up to my most adorable room that yesterday I had hated with unparalleled vehemence. But this was today when I lived and loved and adored. I was no longer the stolid mannish newspaper reporter of yesterday, with a hopelessly frail bank account and a dis- position that Rip Van VWinkle's wife would have coveted. I was a Woman now, with no bank account Whatever, and PAGE 52 Finally I became sane and began cleaning out my with a beautiful, lovely roman-ce attached to me that would make a ripping story for the first page of the Eve- ning Times, and tomorrow-I was to be married. Quickly I tore off the paper from the box and with sav- age strength broke the cord, and there was my beautiful trousseau. Had ev-er a girl had a more complete wedding outit? There were my shoes, wonderfully small for num- ber fives, with their adorable thin, impractical soles, hose of finest silk, lovely dainty slips that I had shamelessly thrown dollars away for, then cam-e the waist-my great- est, most unpardonable sin-filmy, lacy, dainty, that would make me have a most delightful cold Whenever I wore it. I pounced upon it and bringing it to my lips showered it with kissesg then dashing madly to the mirror, I slipped it on. True, it did not reveal my wildest hopes of maidenly beauty, but perhaps that was because of the unmistakable coal-sooty ugliness of my compl-exion. So straightway I laid the waist down, tenderly, gently and in such a position that I could view its loveliness during the evening. Painstakingly and with the patience of a martyr I Worked for hours arranging my distractingly stubborn crowning beauty and finally Hswathed my slender stem in those lovely, recklessly expensive garments that had so multilated my aforementioned bank account. Oh, it was great to live. I sang happily and the big ugly red and green flowers in the wall paper danced the good old-fashioned fox-trot with dizzying grace and aptitude and the furniture that I had grown so intimate with during PAGE 5 3 those long, lonely years, laughed with me, and I laughed back with uncalled-for silliness.. Far away in the distance a train whistled sharply and something tightened around by throat and my crazy heart thumped and bumped and I wondered how I could wait until the morrow, when an- other whistle would blow and I should know that my- that-that He had come? trunk, preparatory veritable attic and that I had stuffed keeper had called loved all the dear to packing my bridal array. It was a contained lovely, cobwebby, old relics in here when some horrid fat house- in my disorderly little room. Oh, I old broken and battered things and I hugged them crazily as if I had met once again some of those pathetically far away friends of my childhood. In one far corner I found a middy waist, which had always been my particular chum during its presentable period of life, and down deep in a corner of one of the dear big pockets I found the first love letter that Dick had ever written. Then came the dear old sheet in the bottom of the trunk, deliciously grimy and dirty, and in which I had always keep my most precious treasure-a, beautiful roomy book filled with the souvenirs of the happenings of my whole life. I called it my morocco-bound scrap book, although the ugly gilt lett-ers on the front, Register of the Poor and Aid Rendered, belied my wild fancy. Wi.th eagerness I opened it- Ag, 9 - .

Then suddenly the door bell pealed through the house and a dear, familiar voice sounded for a moment in the lower hall and finally I heard the sound of heavy steps fairly leaping up the stairs and in a second Dick stood in the door of my room. In one instant I was on my feetg then suddenly I felt myself choking with sentimentg an indescribable impulse came to me to enact all of the foolishly feminine love scenes that I had read about in the latest novels. A cer- tain phrase from a story I had just finish-ed flashed into my mind: Her eyes were closed. He kissed the lids. Straightway my eyelids shut and I held out my arms. With incredible speed Dick was at my side. Dear old girl, he breathed into my ear. - And I nestled in his arms and Whispered back: Dickie, I'm so glad. I love--tomorrow. Philippinitis.

One of the most unique and also one of the most eflicient and beneficial features of L. H. S. is the organiza- tion called the Sunshine Society. This society is managed by the girls, although the boys are occasionally honored by being invited to assist in some of the heavier features, both physically and financially. It is this society that puts much of the sun and also the shine into our school life. It is a combination of educator, moderator, decora- tor, illuminator, elevator and medicator all in one. It is a delightful mixture of Red Cross, W. R. C., W. C. T. U., Sisters of Charity and Salvation Army, all ready at any time to apply the best treatment to local problems and conditions. The Sunshine Society gets -things done. It has placed carpets on the bare floors of destitute homes, thereby adding to th-e comfort and wellfare of unfortunate chil- dren. It has had Christmas trees on which were placed thousands of -toys, as well as more substantial and useful gifts for those children whom Santa might otherwise not find. It has given loads of food and clothing to poor fam- ilies. It sends flowers -to sick stud-ents and faculty mem- bers. It exercises a good housekeeping care of the high school building by attending to the thousand and one de- tails and little touch-es that no man janitor ever sees or does. The Sunshine Society decorates the auditorium and PAGE 6 4 opera house for important school events. It gives plays and other entertainments to raise money to help carry on its work. And last, but not least, in the activities of this society, must be mentioned its general influence on our high school life. This influence is felt in the entire com- munity-always cheerful, always philanthropic, always ready ,always effective. A sacred motto in the home is What is home without a mother? A good motto for us in our school, one that is justifiable and entirely appropriate would be What is li. . S. without her Sunshine Society? And this year has surely been the banner year for L. H. S. Sunshine work. Much more money has been made than was ever dreamed of in former years. We have given two very successful plays, What Happened to Jones and In Story Book Land, had a dairy lunch which out- classed all such attempts of former years, sold candy at the district tournament and fairly haunted the boys with propositions to sell pencils and examination paper and as a result we have cleared enough money to finish paying for the Edison disc, buy a number of new records and still have money to leave to next year's organization. U ww PAGE 65 PAGE 66 PAGE 67 PAGE 68 Music HE WORK of the music d-epartment this year, under -the efiicient direction of Miss Zella Bratton and Mr. Leslie Troutman, two of our own L. H. S. graduates, has been exceptionally good. Miss Bratton has had charge of the Advanced and B choruses and the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, while Mr. Troutman directed the orchestra. The A chorus has spent most of its time during the year at work on The Cruciiixionf' the B chorus has studied entirely from the chapel song books. The Boys' Glee Club has given many very good pro- grams in chapel exercises during the year and has done splendid work. Although the girls have not appeared be- fore the public many times, yet they, too, have succeeded in their work and will sing at the commencement exercises. One of the most popular and flourishing organizations of L. H. S. this school year is the orchestra. It is com- posed of students who play a number of instruments which have never been used in former years. The bells PAGE 6 9 and saxophones especially have added to the beauty of the music. The orchestra has furnished the programs for many of our chapel exercises during the year and almost every Tuesday morning the tuning of instruments could be heard in the music room and the students knew that there was something splendid in store for them. Sometimes the programs consisted of lively ragtime and popular airs, at other times beautiful interpretations of diflicult classi- cal selections were given. Once during the year the orc-hestra gave a program to raise money for the Stokes school. Lat-er they gave an entertainment at Thorntown. The orchestra has been very fortunate this year in hav- ing several of the talented L. H. S. students give special numbers on their programs. Miss Catharine Parkhurst has interpreted many fancy dances, Miss Magdalene Mitchell has acted as elocutionist and given several delightful numbers, and Miss Katherine Allen and Mr. Herbert Ransdell 'have given the students much pleasure by their vocal solos. U PAGE T0 The Pennant .li-im..-. The Pennant has always been considered one of the best school papers in the state and much credit is due to the staff of this year for keeping it thus. This is the first year that the monthly paper of L. H. S. has been pub- 'lished by the students without the help of a faculty advis-er. Albert Nelson, the competent editor-in-chief, deserves the high-est praise for the part he has played in keeping up the standard of the paper. It is due to his untiring ef- forts to make each issue a good one that the student body has been able to issue the Pennant alone. We regret that Albert is a Senior for it will be hard to fill his place. The work of the other members of the staff must not be overlooked, for each of them has done his best to sug- gest ideas and secure material. The Pennant could scarcely have been published without the aid of the members of the faculty who have so faithfully corrected the manuscripts and given advice on many details. PAGE 71 The Staff.

The members of the Junior Latin classes constitute the Nobilityg the Sophomores, the Equestrians, and th-e Freshmen, the Plebians. Officers were elected at the beginning of the year, the most important being the consuls, James Thompson and Nelle Gipsong the censors, Chester Garner and Carter Lewalleng the Praetor Ur- banus, Virginia Brown, and Prafetor Peregrius, Letha DeBard. As soon as a Plebeian can make an 80 per cent. average class grade he may be promoted -to the Eques- trian class, at the will of the censo.r, and in a like manner the censors may place in a lower class a citizen in either of the upper classes after conferring with the dictator, Miss Voliva. This organization has done much toward bringing about a greater interest in Roman life and pro- moting a feeling of fellowship among the Latin students of Lebanon High School. PAGE 7 2 Uratory and Debate -T. -i. , . . ,.-,., ,, M., ,.- -S055: CECILE HURT. CHRIS BLEW Gratory SMALLER NUMBER of contestants than usual ap- peared in the county oratorical tryouts, but the quality of the speakers made up for the lack of quantity. There were seven boys and eight girls who tried out. The boys' contest was divided into three parts. On Monday morning, December 21, Chris Blew, Manley Immel, Charles Partner and Lloyd Reath spoke. Chris Blew and Charles Partner were the winners from this group. On Tuesday morning, Byron Jones, Herschel Clark and Herbert Ransdell spoke, and all did so well that the judges were unwilling to accept the responsibil- ity of picking the two best, so they decided to let all three appear in the finals. The finals were held on Wednesday morning and Chris Blew received first place, with Herschel Clark and Herbert Ransdell tied for second. The first girls' tryout was held in the assembly room on Saturday afternoon, January 9. Cecile Hurt, Eliza Fike, Leone Edwards, Nelle Gipson, Harriet Ashley, Susie Sul- livan, Catherine Parkhurst and May Reynolds were the speakers. The first five of these won the right to appear in the finals on the following Monday morning, when Cecile Hurt won first and Eliza Fike second place. In the county oratorical on the night of January 15, both speakers showed the results of efiicient training. They had difiicult selections, but each easily commanded the closest attention from the audience. Mr. Blew gave a part of Lord Chatham's speech on An Address to the Throne, and Miss Hurt gave the arena scene from Quo Vadisf' Lebanon supporters awaited the decision of the judges, confident that both speakers would rank high. When Blew was announced as winner of the boys' contest, they felt practically sure that the judges would not award two firsts to the same school, howev-er much it deserved them, but they were totally unprepared for the surprise they got when Hurt did not win a place among the first three speakers. Hlowever, everybody felt very proud of both orators. And indeed, we have every reason to be proud of our representatives, for both, being wholly inexperienced previous to this year, have been able to represent the school only through hard work under the efiicient coach- ing of Mr. Scifres. PAGE 74 Debating ROM THE ENTHUSIASM. shown in short debates in the public speaking class it could early be seen that there would be a large number of tryouts for places on the debating teams. From the improvement which these inexperienced debaters made from day to day it could readily be seen that competition would be close. The subject for the triangular debate as chosen by rep- resentatives of the three schools on the first Friday in November, was: Resolved, That Indiana should appoint a commission with power to fix a minimum wage in every line of industry. As soon as this subject was announced many members of the class began work on it. Those who were trying out for the county oratorical were, of course, unable to spend much time on it until after the tryout. On the night of January 26, fifteen contestants spoke in the high school assembly. Mrs. Doehleman, Miss Voliva and Mr. Smelser, acting as judges, chose Herschel Clark, Herbert Ransdell, Chris Blew, Manley Immel, Floyd Perkins, Edwin Bush, Lloyd Reath and Charles Partner, as members of the teams. Later, Mr. Scifres divided them, placing Bush, Perkins, Ransdell and Immel on the affirmative team and Reath, Clark, Blew and Partner on the negative team. Perkins and Clark were appointed captains and Immel and Partner alternates of the atiirrnative and negative teams irespectively. The members of the teams, with Mr. Scifres, began hard work immediately, working from seven until ten, three or four nights a week. Their first work was to make and arrange outlines for their speeches. Then they worked for mat-erial and -each Aman wrote a fifteen minute speech following his outline. The speeches were thoroughly worked over and condensed or cut down until they were ten minutes or less in duration. After that th-e speeches were committed and the last work was spent on polishing delivery. Perkins and Clark were selected for rebuttal speakers. On the night of the debate our aflirmative team hope- lessly outclassed Crawfordsville's negative team at Leba- non, although we were only given a two to one decision. After hearing a favorable decision at Lebanon, it was confidently expected that our negative team would win at Frankfort, because they had been considered much stronger than the aflirmative. However, we soon heard that the judges had been unable to arrive at that conclusion and had given Frankfort a two to one decision. Then, of course, the outcome of the debate was thought to depend upon the decision at Crawfordsville. But it ' PAGE 76 happened that CraWfordsvi1le's affirmative team won there, making it a tie all around. The decision then rested on a count of the total number of points made by the teams, thus injecting an element of chance into the con- test. It was found that Crawfordsville came first with 514 points, Lebanon second with 507 and Frankfort third with 495 points. Lebanon's affirmative team received the highest number of points given to any team in the debate. Most of the members of this year's debating team were totally inexperienced in debating until they commenced Work this year. Only R-eath, Perkins and Ransdell had had previous experience as members of the team. As a result of good coaching and close application, they gained a mastery of the subject and made a showing no team need be ashamed of. Only three members of the team, Perkins, Ransdell and Immel, are left to form the nucleus for next year's team, but there is much available material in the public speaking class to fill the other places. The next L. H. S. debating team should be as good, if not better, than this, especially so if Mr. Scifres remains here another year. Public Sp eaking Class T THE BEGINNING of the year the rapidly declin- ing interest in public speaking received a fr-esh impetus from the employment of Mr. Scifres as instructor in this department. A class of some sixteen or seventeen boys enrolled for this Work. The first work taken up was the reading in class of selections from great orations. This was done with the purpose of improving PAGE 7 7 enunciation and inflection. Later, debating was taken up and short debates Were given on the vital subjects of the day. As soon as the subject for the triangular debate was announced, almost all the members of the class began working on it at once. Class work was devoted mostly to extemporan-eous speeches on different phases of this subject. It was the aim of Mr. Scifres to have every mem- ber of the class who wished to try for the team able to give a ten minute speech on either side of the question before the night of the tryouts. At the same time six members of the class were work- ing on orations for the county oratorical tryouts. Chris Blew won out in a hotly .contested race and later won first place in the county oratorical. In the debate tryouts fifteen members of the class were entered and Floyd Perkins, Herbert Ransdell, Edwin Bush, Manley Immel, Herschel Clark, Lloyd Reath, Chris Blew and Charles Partner were successful. Three members of the class dropped out at the end of the semester, but the class was amply compensated for their loss by the addition of several new members, mostly underclassmen. As the debaters were excused from regu- lar recitation to work on the debate, the class- was so diminished in number that enough work could be devoted to the new members to enable them to catch up with the rest of the class. A great deal of stress was put on gesti- culation and free movement before the class in order to give the speaker ease of mind. Debating was again taken up to some extent. After the triangular debate, in which Lebanon drew second place, the members of the team settled down to regular class work. Some time was spent in practice of extemporaneous speaking, each speaker picking whatever subject he wished. For the State Dis- cussion League contest no tryouts appeared, so Charles Partner was chosen as the representative. Later on, in conjunction with extemporaneous speaking, the class be- gan work on Macaulay's Essay on Milton, one of the greatest pieces of English literature. .The study of this work was taken up in order to give the students an idea of the good to be derived from studying the vocabulary, diction and sentence structure of great pieces of literature. The year's work has been of great value to all the members of the class, due mostly to the fact that Mr. Scifres has a thorough knowledge of all phases of public speaking, and that he is able to impart his knowledge in an interesting as well as instructive manner. Everyone has improved wonderfully under his coaching, and some have become very proficient along this lin-e. Per- haps the greatest good, however, lies in the increased in- terest that has been aroused in this work, which foretells successful d-ebaters and orators for old L. H. S. in the future. PAGE 7 S PAGE 79 Indiana State Discussion League The topic chosen for discussion by the Indiana State Discussion League this year Wias How May We Secure Greater Edici-ency in County Government? As no one evinced a desire to compete for the honor of representing Lebanon, Charles Partner was chosen as our speaker, without undergoing any tryout. When none of the other high schools in the county presented candidates, it de- volved upon Charles to represent Boone county in the dis-trict discussion at Kokomo. Like our basketball team, Partner had the misfortune to run up against champion- ship material early in the race. Hi.s opponents were Harold Reynolds, of Kokomo, Sylvest-er Mersch, of Frank- fort, and Clyde Williams, of Crawfordsville. Last year Reynolds and Mersch tied for position in the district dis- cussion aind iirst place was given Reynolds on points. He then won the state discussion. This year Mersch got first place, Reynolds second, Partner third and Williams fourth. It is no discredit to our speaker to be unsuccess- ful in a contest against such capable and experienced speakers, nor is it a discredit to our school. Partner, like most of the other speakers, in the short time that was allotted him, gave most attention to the short ballot as the most important reform needed by county government. Social Events Pennant Picnic The Pennant staff had a picnic Wednesday evening, September 30, in Horner's' Grove, near Thorntown. The picnickers left Lebanon on the 4:26 car and, after arriv- ing in Thorntown, they proceeded to walk the -two and one-half miles to the grove. About seven o'clock the fac- ulty arriv-ed. After lunch the party passed the time away by toasting marshmallows, singing, telling stories and getting shot by the photographer. They returned to Thorntown in time to catch the ten o'clock car home. The Mock Trial The mock -trial given January 20, under the direction of Colonel Warner, of New York, for the benefit of the Senior class, wvas a decided success-. It was full of fun from start to finish. The characters were prominent citizens and members of the faculty. Each one played his part exceptionally well. The amount the class re- ceived was S39.70. The Faculty Banquet The faculty banquet for the Seniors occurred Friday night, April 9, at the Baptist church. The banquet was served in the new dining hall. Covers were laid for eighty- six persons, including the Seniors, the members of the school board and the faculty. The tables were decorated with pink and white German Stock. The program for the evening was tafken from the Rubyist of Omar Khayyam. Mr. Smelser presided as toast- master. The subject of his toast was Come, Fill the Cup. Harriet Ashley followed with The World is Full of Roses3 Byron Jones, The Man Worth Whil-e is the Man Who Can Smile, Miss Grace Bryan, But Leave the Wise to Wranglef' F. E. Hutchinson, Alas, That Spring Should Vanish With the Roseg B. M. Scifres, 'Tis All a Checker-Board of Nights and Days. Lastly came Mr. Brown with One Thing is Certain, that Life Flies. All of the toasts were very interesting and contained food for thought. Philip Endres entertained the Juniors at his home on the night of October 9. PAGE 8 O In Story Book Land One of the most successful plays ever given by the Lebanon schools was the musical fantasy, In Story Book Land, which the Sunshine Society presented on April 16. The plot of the play cent-ered about Jean and Allan, -two small children, who, indignant because their mother would not allow them to stay up for her party, wished they were in Story Book Land, which, as pictured in the new book of that nam-e, would be more attractive than living at home with such an unfeeling mother. Their Wish was granted and they were ,taken through Story Book Land, where they met with many interesting peo- ple and strange adventures. They found, however, that evesry-thing was not as ideal as they had anticipated and they were overjoyed to return to real life, finally con- vinced that home was the best place and mother the best friend after all. The story of the travels of Jean and Allan was told in music and fancy drills. Cast of Characters. Allan .... ....................... L orenzo Daugherty Jean .................. . ..................

Everyone came masked and enjoyed them- selves to the fullest extent. All classes of people were present from the Kaiser's army to the little coon baby. After every one had become acquainted, partners were chos-en in a clever manner and all marched around for refreshments. Edna Hill, who was dressed as an old-fashioned Woman, and Chester Garner, who made a hit with the boys in his feminine attire, received the prizes. Of course the Kaiser's army could not be slighted, so it was awarded the best prize, that of a string of wienies. Sunshine Picnic On Thursday evening, April 29th, the Sunshine girls of L. H. S. entertained every boy in school at a picnic in Mundell's woods, east of Lebanon. It was considered to be the very biggest thing the girls had ever undertaken during the entire year, but it proved very successful. The Sunshine girls and the women members of the faculty furnished the lunch and the picnickers left for the grove immediately after the dismissal of school at 4:00 o'clock. It was perhaps the most successful entertainment given by the girls, and it is certain the boys n-ever spent a more delightful evening. Sunshine Society's Christmas Tree The Sunshine Society's Christmas tree was a great suc- cess. A .short prog-nam was given, consisting of a song by the Girls' Glee Club, a Christmas story by Magdalene Mitchell and dances by Madge Carr and Katherine Park- hurst. Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus fAlbert Nelson and Susan Sullivanj surprised the one hundred and fifty chil- dren by appearing before them in person and bringing each a gift and some candy. By the expression on their little faces the Sunshine girls knew that they had done much toward making a merry Christmas for them. The Freshmen were disappointed in their first class meeting. They intended to have a moonlight picnic, like the big Seniors, but the weather proved undesirable, and they held their meeting in the high school building. After eating their lunch in the library, they proceeded to the gym, where they spent most of the evening playing games. During the evening, Catherine Parkhurst gave some fancy dances and most of the class joined in danc- ing the Virginia reel. Later in the evening they had a marshmallow toast in the library. The chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Smelser and Mr. Slagle. I PAGE 8 4 Sunshine Spread Friday night, January 29, the Sunshine Society gave a sp-read for the new Freshmen. The girls met in the gymnasium at 6:00 p. m., where the usual initiation cere- mony took place, and then marched upstairs, singing the school song. A long table extending the full length of the hall and seeming almost to groan under its lolad, was rapidly relieved of itls burden by the hungry girls. Since it was the first social event of this school year, the girls made the most of their opportunity and spent the evening in a rollicking good time. Senior Class Party On Friday night, October 31, the Seniors held a class meeting at the high school building. The evening was spent in playing games and in singing. Refreshments of fruit and candy were served. Senior Class Meeting The Seniors held their first class meeting at the country home of George Adair, on Friday night, October 2. A picnic supper, which was held in a large grove, was the principal feature of the evening. After supper everyone roasted while trying to toast some marshmallows. A few PAGE 8 5 games were played in -the moonlight, after which all went to the house and blended their voices in song. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. Smelser, son, Harold, and guest, Miss Clyde Purdy, of Strasburg, Col., Misses Bryan and Farmer and Mr. Slagle. Freshman-Sophomore Party The Freshmen and Sophomores had a party at the high school building on Wednesday night, November 25. At the beginning of the evening there was la short program. The first thing on the program was a little play entitled Waiting for the Train? After the play Catherine Park- hurst and Madge Carr gave several very pretty dances. Then the whole party went to the gym, where most of the evening was spent in games. Delicious refreshments were served in the library later, and the evening was closed with several rousing yells. Junior Basketball Party Th-e Junior basketball girls with their gentlemen friends were entertained at a party at the home of Virginia Brown, December 11th. Miss Edith Schopbach, of Aurora, Ill., was the guest of Miss Edithe Smith during the week of March 28.

S PAGE 87 THLE Lehanon High School Athletic Association Edwin Bush .............. J ...... President Oris DeVol ....... .. Vice-President Charles Partner ..... Secretary Paul Hooper ................................ Treasurer Last spring Mr. Walker, Mr. Lambert and Mr. Slagle conceived the idea of forming an Athletic Association among the boys for the purpose of creating greater inter- est in athletics. The idea met with a great favor and an association was formed with Byron Jones, presidentg Edwin Bush, vice-presidentg Hallie Hamilton, secretaryj Herbert Ransd-ell, treasurer. A constitution was drafted and adopted at the second meeting. This constitution contained -regulations for all forms of athletics carried on here, concerning eligibility, awarding of monograms, etc. The powers as well as the requirements of a member of the association were very light, since the great pur- pose of the organization was merely to create higher in- terest in athletics. Every student in order to participate in athletics had to belong to the association, but to be- long he was only required to 'pay the nominal dues which were charged. The association was the legislative body, but all of the 'executive power was vested in an Athletic Board of Control, consisting of the president of the asso- ciation, the principal, the coach, the athletic manager and PAGE 8 S a re-presentative of each class elected by the members of the class. Soon after 'school began last fall, at the first meeting, Edwin Bush was elected president, Oris DeVol, vice-presi- dentg Charles Partner, secretaryg Paul Hooper, treasurer. At the second meeting the constitution was read by the president for the benefit of the new members. A motion was made, seconded and carried that the paying of dues be abolished, but provision was made in the motion for raising mone-y by assessment if necessary. As a result every boy in school has been considered a member of the Athletic Association this year. The Athletic Board of Control created the position of trainer for the varsity basketbell team and abolished the custom of giving away complimentary basketball tickets. The great benefit of the formation of this organization lies in placing part of the responsibility of .the management of athletics into the hands of the students, thus insuring he-artier co-0pera- tion from them.

Cui' Basketb all Record ..i.T,,..1., Again a successful basketball season has ended and again our team, although defeated by th-e state chlam- pions, has a record unsurpassed by any other t-eam in the state. At the beginning of this season no one felt v-ery conident that our team was of championship caliber. They felt that the holes in the lineup left by Worley and King could hardly be filled. But Little proved that back- guard was his natural position, and Wlhitehead played a surprisingly good game at forward. However, lack of PAGE 89 condition gave the team a poor showing in the first few easy games. They gave their first indication of high class form, when still in poor condition, they only losit to the fast New Richmond five on their own floor by one point, It was still better shown when they defeated the husky Thorntown bun.ch on their own fioor by a decisive s-core. After that they had the task of plowing through the hard- est schedule that any Lebanon High School basketball team has ever had. Some of the games were won only by narrow margins.: a very few were lost, also by narrow margins. Fairmount Academy defeated us at Fairmount by two points. Meanwhile we avenged our defeat by New Richmond by beating them on our floor by six points. Crawfordsville, our ancient rival, fell before the team's onslaught on their own battlefield, as did Rochester. Later in the season, however, Rochester and Crawfords- ville both defeated us on our own Iloor, Rochest-er by two points, Crawfordsville by five. Then at the tournament, Thorntown defeated us by sev-en points. Thus we have our team losing five games, but they de- feated every team that defeated them, except Fairmount Academy, at w.hom they got no second chance. Again, the noteworthy point is that these five games were lost by a total of only seventeen points. We venture that no other team in the state with a schedule as hard as ours, can show such a record. Although the team did not go to the tournament at Bloomington, we believe that it came closer to the stat-e championship than some of the teams that did. Thorntown admits that their hardest game in winning the championship was with Lebanon. Lebanon Swayzee . Lebanon Lebanon New Richmond . N.

But during the years that Lebanon has had championship and near-championship basketball teams, the entire school has become so imbued with the spirit, that there is always a plentiful supply of 'material on hand, ready to be developed into stars. The answer to the question depends mostly on who is coach here next year. If Mr. Lambert comes back, it is a self-evident fact that the school will be represented by an excellent team. However, if they are not so for- tunate as to secure his return, it is probable that a high- class coach will be secured, one who can turn out a win- ning aggregation from the abundant Held of material available. Little and White from this year's squad will form the nucleu-s of the team. Little can play either center or back guard well, although he shines brightest at back guard. White can play either forward or guard, and will make la. point-winner at either position. Cash, a big Jun- ior, has great possibilities, and with a little hard work and training, ought to be a valuable man to the team at PAGE 9 1 any position and add much needed weight to ia light team. Parsons and Gardner are good prospects for forwards. Parsons is small, but aggressive, and a good guard evader and basket shooter. If he ever comes out for the team in dead earnest, it will be hard work for anybody to keep him out of a place. Gardner is the smallest man among the likely candidates, but he can handle the ball, take it right through a scrimmage, and hit the basket. Bell and Ball are tall men, though rather light, and could be de- veloped into either centers or forwards. There are a number of good guards who might rise into prominence. Shumate, Black, Nelson, Miller and Chambers are among these. Harry DeVol is a player on Oris' style, .and will probably make good at some position, if he succeeds in keeping himself eligible. There will be some likely re- cruits frrom the eighth grade team, most notably Don White, who is a good man at any position. Besides all these, there are persistent rumors of other good players who are to enter school here next year. With the.se pros- pects, it seem-s that the hardest task should be, not in picking a good team, but in selecting the best men for the positions on the team. PAGE 9 2 Sophomore Class Champions At t-h-e beginning of the class championship series, the Sophomores were the general favorites of the dopesters. Their team was considered the fastest and most evenly matched, and they were expected to take first place easi- ly. The Sen-iors, Juniors land Freshmen were thought to be about evenly bunched. As the games went on, the Sophs failed to show as good form as expected and re- main-ed even with the other teams. In fact, none of the teams showed much high class b.aJsketb.all, yet most of the games were close and Very exciting. The series was supposed to consist of seven groups of games. At the end of the sixth, the teams all had the same standing, each having won three games and lost three. In .the seventh group, the Sophomores eliminated the Juniors, and the Seniors eliminated the Freshmen. It then became neces- sary for the Sophs and Seniors to play a deciding game. The championship game was tied almost all th-e wfay through. In the last three minutes, White, aided by some PAGE 93 good passes from Bell, scored a bunch of field goals and Won the game. It is doubtful if ever a more evenly matched team won th-e class championship. All are 'about the same size, handle the ball skillfully and are good floor workers, and each can play at least two positions well. White is a forward who used his varsity experience .to good ad- vantage on his class team. He is the leading point win- ner. Parsonisi is the other forward and is the fastest man on the team when his lack of condition does not tell. B-ell pl.ays center, although he seems more fitted for a forward. He has a good eye for the basket. Black is a plunging guiard, Who consists entirely, so his opponents say, of knees and elbows. Nelson is a lengthy man, who entwines himself about his opponent and renders him helpless. His specialty is guarding big men. Shumate is another plunging guard, Whose specialty is laying back under .the basket and guarding anyone who comes down the floor. All these men are of future varsity caliber. PAGE 95 Ward Lambert, Coach Pig came to L. H. S. three years ago, and may stay here three years more if he wants to. We wonder how we ever happened to secure his services, and we don't see 'how the school can ever get along Without himl. He has discovered the truth of the saying, The third time is the charm, but the charm happened to be Wrong. Al- though his state championship 'hopes were recently blasted for the third time, he isn't whipped yet and never will be. He can still laugh, do the big league dances, teach physics .and chemistry, coach athletics, sing C!!'?J, and give life size imitations of Charles Chaplin. He is fond of Ke-ystonesf' This is very probably his last year at Lebanon, but we're for Ward, always. Manley lmmel, Yell Leader Red is one of those Who .are small but mighty. He, too, had to Work h-ard to acquire position, be-ing forced to endure all the rrigors of na strenuous campaign. His elec- tion s-hows the results largely of female votes. His auburn locks Waving in .the breezes as he cuts his graceful capers before the crowds, compose a. veritable battleflag, inspir- ing to valorous yellings. Even the players see redg how could they help it? Manley iws yet a mere Freshman. In the three years of high school life that remains to him, may he grow in size and grace and continue to inspire the Warriors in L. H. S. PAGE 9 6 PAGE 97 Paul Church, Captain and Forward Monk doesnt let his religious nam-e interfere with his gentle manner of handling an opponent on the floor. Members of other teams have found that he isn't as small as he looks. He has played for Lebanon three years and has led the team into the fray as captain this year. He is a forward and has a splendid eye for the basket, but his main strength lies in his guarding. His speed and quickness have made him the most skillful iioorworker on the team. During the last year, he became too fast for basketball alone, so he entered society with one of his converts, and has been playing a strong game on the first team since. He is a Senior and graduates this spring. Herman Whitehead, Forward Herman is the featherweight of the team, and feels that he's getting fat if the scales register more than one hun- dred thirty' pounds. He has to eat lots to keep down his weight. He has fought his Way on .to the team through -sheer force of brains and an innnite amount of nerve and grit. Although most of his basketball .strength lies above his neck, it manages the other part so Well that the huskiest opponents have been able to tell that Herman was in the game. Outside of basketball, he loves candy and the gurls He has played his last game of basket- ball for L. H. S. After leaving high school he is consid- ering either entering the coal business or becoming a Keystone artist With Lambert. PAGE 98 PAGE 99 Edwin Bush, Center Ed hias just passed seventeen and is yet almost a beardless youth. He cherishes the distinction of having for two years been the youngest but biggest man on the s-quad. During those two years he has lost lots of weight and religion. He is so elongated that when he comes on the floor he assumes sa, crouching attitude to keep the other from feeling iso small. He is a living refutation of the argument that athletics clause deterioration in scholar- ship and basketball is for him one of a long list of activ- ities. During -the last season Ed made a strenuous effort to break Job's record for boils and almost succeeded. Job outclassed him in patience, however, .and he received as his prize a repuation for grouchiness. He has almost lived this down since the tournament, and has recovered his golden smile. This is his last year in high school. Oris DeVol, Floor Guard Abe is an athlete by inheritance and has nobly up- held the reputation of his family. He is our greatest all- round athlete and has been on every team that has repre- sented the school during his four years. He has played on the basketball team three years. Last year he was an all-state guard, and would undoubtedly have been picked this year had he received an opportunity .to demon- strate his ability at the state tournament. He is the orig- inal pep wagon and some field goals can be expected from him, when nobody -else can hit them. He has a habit of breezing right down under the basket and shoot- ing, then getting back to his end of the- floor before the ball does. The ball generally doesn't because his habit consists largely of hitting the basket. He has led the team in point-winning this season, an enviable .record for a guard. Wherever Abe is, he generally succeeds in creating a commotion. He has also followed a family trait by developing a strong case of family life. PAGE 1 00 PAGE 101 Frank Little, Captain-Elect and Back Guard Doc started his basketball career here at center, but developed such an aversion for the position, that when placed in a position to guard centers, he played sensation- al basketball. He has been on the team two years. When he was started at back guard this year, it could soon be seen that this was his natural position. His he-ight made him a good intercepter of passes, and he developed a thrilling way of taking his man out of the play, tlmat made the fans pat the1n.selves on their backs in ecstasy, and reminded them of Tommy King and other former greats. Doc is different from most of his teammates in that he hasn't yet developed a fondness for female society. His case is not hopeless, however, since he hlas two more years. He has been elected captain of next year's team, and we expect to hear great things of him in the future. Lloyd Reath, Substitute Wreath is .a great kidder, but he has made the squad in his Senior year only by hiard and discouraging Work. He has held down the back guard's end of the floor when Little was out of the game. Although he has been forced to Warm the bench most of the time, he leads -the teams in the number of nicknames he has gained. The entirely sincere but rather strenuous manner with which he plows through a. scrimmage leaving death land destruction behind him, has acquired for him the nickname of Wa.rhorse, from some of the rabble. We can't understand why some call him the ubaldheaded mayor of Pikes Crossing. Lloyd succeeded in getting a regular girl as .soon as he made .the team. It is rumored that he likes sweet cider, but of course, no one believes that. . PAGE 1 02 PAGE 103 George White, Substitute George is the hardest, most conscientious worker on the squad. He is a member of Abe's family, and is there- fore, athletic by nature, but his natural ability has been supplemented by faithful work and the closest attention to Lamber.t'ws coaching. His life would have been short- ened twenty years by sorrow over the field goals he has missed, had not this sorrow been neutralized by the joy he experienced over the field goals he made. He is an all-around sub and always plays fa hard game and scores a bunch of field goals when he breaks into the lineup. He is a Sophomore ,and we know he will mrake good in his two remaining years. George h-asn't followed out his fam- ily tendencies in regard to cases very faithfully. He had ia girl once, but .she was stolen away, and being some what of a philosopher, he says he believes he is bette-r off. PAGE 104 The Track Team The interest in track work, which has grown steadily for the last few years, has produced la team which we be- lieve is better than any other .track team L. H. S. has ever had. Our track team last year was good, and .al- though one or two of its members are gone, most of them remain, in addition to some new men who are showing well. Oris DeVol is captain. Oris D-eVol-100 and 220 yard dashes, quarter mile, broad jump, relay. Paul Church-half mile, 220 yard, low hurdles, broad jump, relay. Edwin Bush-high jump, shot put, discus throw. Harry DeVol-mile, half mile, relay. Fred Adams-mile. Earl Dye-pole vault, relay. Russell Swails-120 yard hurdles. Rex Bowen-pole vault. G-eorge White-half mile, relay. Lloyd Reath-100 .and 220 yard dashes, quarter mile, relay. Cecil Bell-high jump. Ian Black-pole vault. Charles Cross-mile, half mile, r-elay. In the first two meets more than a full team was used. The preceding is a list of those entered in the Triangular and Central Indiana meets. Dual Meet With Westfield The first meet of the season was a dual meet with Westfield on Wednesday afternoon, April 21. Few of the men were in good condition for this m-eet. Some of the runners had been working for sometime, but most of the others began hard work on Monday before .the meet. Westfield nosed out a tirst by six points. The score was PAGE 105 562 to SOVZ. The star of the meet was Armstrong, West- 1ield's colored athlete, who scored 39 points, taking most of the firsts. Harry DeVol won .the mile in excellent time, as Church did the half-mile. Good records were made in most of the track events, but of the field events poor records were made in the shot, discus and pole vault. 100 yard dash.

County Meet First Boone On the Saturday following the Westfield meet, the first Boone county track and field meet was held fat Lebanon. The entrants were Lebanon, Advance, Zionsville and Thorntown, Advance and Zionsville were not represented by full teams. The meet wias easily won by Lebanon. The scores were: Lebanon, 77: Thorntown, 17: Advance, 9: Zionsville, 5. The poor showing of the other schools may be explained by the fact that their experience with track work is very limited. This was the Hrst .track meet ever won by Lebanon. Bush was the individual point winner, with 15 points, winning first in all three of his events. H. DeVol was not able to run because of a sore foot. Rigglns, of Thorntown, took first in the mile, the only first that Lebanon did not take. A discovery was made in Swa-ils, who won the high hurdles and took second in the low hurdles.

Triangular Meet The first real big track and field meet that Lebanon ever won was the triangular meet at Lebanon, May 1. As usual, this meet was closely contested ,and it was only in the last event -that Lebanon nosed Frankfort out by one point. The score was Lebanon, 41, Frankfort, 403 Craw- fordsville, 18. Crawfordsvi1le's poor showing was the sur- prise of the meet. Good records were made in all events. The best, however, were those made in the mile, half-mile, PAGE 107 C discus hurl and 220 yard dash. Powell, of Erankfort, won the mile in 4:56, then came back and ran the half mlile in 2:10. By tying for second in the high jump wi-th Bush, of Lebanon, 'he became the individual point-winner of the meet. Wisehart, of Cnawfordsville, hurled the discus 107 feet. Reath, of Lebanon, clipped 05 the 220-yard dash in the exceptional time of 23 4-5 seconds. From the Lebanon standpoint, he was the hero of the meet. There was difference of opinion as to whether he or Fox, of Frankfort, won the 100-yard dash, and it was finally counted a tie. By a decisive victory in the 220, he demon- strated clearly as to who was the best man. Reath is also responsible for Lebanon winning the relay race. Leb- anon ran third until the last quarter, when Reath passed Eagleson, of Crawfordsville, on the finish. The time was 3:49. Church ran away from the field in the low hurdles, and DeVol won his quarter by pure headwork. By taking first and second in the shot put Frankfort acquired a. several point lead, which was overcome only by Bla.ck's nrst in the pole vault and DeVol'-s second in the broad jump. From the showing made in this meet, Lebano.n is expecting to make a strong race for Hrst place in the Central Indiana meet. Harry DeVol, who has been un- able to run, is relied on to beat Powell in the mile, and White, it is believed, can take .the half mile. The results: 100-yard dash.

PAGE l OS Girls Gymnasium Class The gi-rls in the physical culture classes, under the di- rection of Miss Kindig, have derived much pleasure from this year's work. There are sixty members and two sec- tions, the Freshmen girls forming one and meeting on Tuesdays and Trhursdays and the advance class on Mons d-ays and Wednesdays. Pretty folk dances, callisthenics, gymnastic and running games were taken up. The course PAGE 1 09 was made more enjoyable by Harriet Ashley's playing. The most enjoyable part was basketball. Two teams were organized with Blanche Sheridan and Madge Carr as cap- tains and some very exciting games were played. The warm fall and spring days were given over to hikes. Miss Kindig is to be compliment-ed for her efficient method of making the course beneficial and enjoyable to the girls. Old Lebanon NOVA ROBERTS, CLASS '15. Of all the spots on earth I know, The one I love the best, Which always seems so dear to me Is our own old L. H. S. 'Tis here our work and pleasure blend, 'Tis here our brightest hours we spendg O that these happy days might never end! We'd stay right here with L. H. S. CHORUS. Oh, my heart is with you all the time, Lebanon! Old Lebanon! I'd return to you from any clime. Old Lebanon for me. The years will roll and time will come, When sadly hence w'e'l1 pass, And sadly, too, wefll say good-bye To the dear old high school classy But oft our souls for you will yearn, And oft our hearts for you will burn. Oh! could our wandering feet to you return, We'd rolam no more from L. H. S. CHORUS. Oh, my heart is with you all the time, Lebanon! Old Lebanon! I'd return to you from any clime. Old Lebanon for me.

A large number of enthu- siastic alumni had taken part in a high school bazaar that was held for the purpose of making money to buy pictures for the high school, and that night after the day's work was over and the alumni had cleared a neat sum from their part of the day's enterprise, they met in the assem- bly hall of the old building and chose oflicers to carry on the work. There were probably one hundred in attend- ance at that meeting and enthusiasm was high. Roy Ad- ney, attorney, was elected president and remained at the head of the organization for two years. Under his lead- e-rship the association became an important factor in L. H. S. life. The work accomplished was such that the com- munity and school authorities felt that it was an organiza- tion to be reckoned with. Mrs. B. F. Coombs was Mr. Adneyls successor and it was under her regime .that the association reached its highest eiiiciency. Several home talent plays were given at this time and proved to be a success financially. Prob- ably the greatest work was the creation of a high school student loan fund for the purpose of helping students PAGE 113 financially in their high school course. No interest was charged and no security asked, but the certincation by the high school principal of the applicantls honesty and worthiness. A number of students were helped in this way and .almost all the money loaned was paid back into the treasury. After a service of three years Mrs. Coombs declined reelection and Helen Means was chosen to take her place. She s-erved one year. The next president was D.r. Darnall, but before he could carry out his plans he left Lebanon. For th-e past year there has been no one to take the lead, hence, nothing has been done. A short time ago a meeting was called by .the vice- president, Esth-er Coombs, and the following oiiicers were elected: President, Lawrence Hopper: vice-president, Roze Mooreg .seclretary and treasurer, Mary Long. In the past years the alumni hav-e had a home-coming day during the Thanksgiving holiday-s. At these occa- sions the alumni from the colleges and different parts of the country have met together and talked over olden times and renewed their interests in school life. 'Dhe possibilities and opportunities of an alumni asso- ciation in Lebanon are great, and under the management of the ofli-cers, we may expect great things next year. Wake Up, Alumni Every graduate of the Lebanon High School is a mem- ber of the Alumni Association. Wie think there are some alumni who forget this. There are some, who after they receive their diplomfas, close the book on their high school life and activity and feel .that they are no longer connected with it. This is not true. Every alumnus should have that loyal spirit toward his school to make it the best in the state. The high school students depend upon the alumni more than we think. And if the 'alumni do not set up a standard, how can we expect our school to progress and increase? For several years there were a few enthusiastic workers in the association, but in the last few years the interest has almost died and it must be .rekindled. We must make the s.tudents feel that we are interested in them and what they are doing. We must encourage them in athletics and oratory. We must keep up the high standard that our school has established. Wake up, alumni, and get busy! ALife Worth Living . In these lines from a poet is found a suggestion for the living of a happy life: It isn't raining rain to me, 'It's raining daffodils. Life is to us exactly what we make it. Whether it is to be full of clouds and darkness, depression and sorrow, or one of sunshine and brightness, despite the clouds, for into each life some rain must fall, resfts with us. We get out of life just what we put into it. Did you ever stop to think, when troubles come, when lessons are hard, and the little beasties, called the blues, come creeping unwelcomed into your heart, how mus.t worse things might be, and how mluch better off you are than some others? Life depends ra great deal, too, on our environment, since an unfavorable atmosphere, of course, weighs upon our spirits, land makes things seem worse to us than they really are. But the one who in spite of opposing circum- stances can see the silver lining to every cloud, who can throw back his shoulders and face the wind and weather is in reality a daffodil in the rain, and his life is a 'happy and beneficial one, and a blessing to everyone. Spring is Here, Tra-La! Have you ever noticed the various ways in which peo- ple welcome the spring time? There are some who watch with feverish interest .how Mother Nature changes the grayish brown earth of late winter into the green car- pets of spring, and how, with her .touch of magic, she turns .the tiny, blaby buds into fresh, unfolded leaves, and how she performs her many miracles that garb every- PAGE 114 thing about in the gay costumes of spring time. There are other people who turn the pages of their books to see how their particular, favorite poets express the sentiments and feelings that they themselves find creeping over them in this happy season. There are some who are filled with a fretful -energy that stirs them to partake in active out- door sports-to be out and doing is their one pacifler. Others are, who unconsciously drink in the beauties of spring, and in this unknown appreciation undergo a s-pring housecleaning in their he-arts and minds. And then- oh, but we ,are forgetting the spring dreamers! Spring never traversed the earth without her train of .sleepy lovers, and .there are some-, before whose eyes spring vaunts herself in all her glory-but alas! those eyes see not, they are blind! Oh, to be sure, they casually ob- serve that the bud-s are budding, the grass is greening, the flowers are flowing, the skies look a little more blue, and they casually wonder What of it? The voice of spring passes by, unheard and unheeded in their hearts. Some day may they rub the cobwebs from their eyes and souls and let the breezes of spring play among their senses. In which of these classes do you belong? The Tie That Binds The summer months will chronicle hundreds of family reunions, where those bound together by blood or mar- riage ties gather to picnic and again enjoy the compan- PAGE 115 ionship which in many cases has been torn by moving to distant parts of the state and the nation. The family re- union places each individual again upon the same level. Whether an individual drives to the scene of the reunion in an elaborate touring car or whether he comes by rail, dressed in the garb of moderate means, is soon forgotten, when memories and stories of Uncle Ned's forty, and how Gnandfather Smith use-d to tell of how he hunted deer on the old farm, aare revived. The same conditions prevail with the high school alumni. The alumni is a family, and like a family it needs family reunions. It needs a. stated time in the year when .the graduates convene, as in the days of the past, on an equal level. Time works wonders. Some of the graduates rise to promise and flourish. Others before whom, .at the time of graduation, the world seemed the brightest, fall, and fail to reach their hopes and ambitions. To meet .their old associates and admit that life has served them bitterly is a task .that i-s- dreaded. But the athletic contests solve the question. Who thinks of the present, when two graduates meet on the eve of a struggle between the alma mater and Crawfords- ville? Memories of fpast defeats and victories surge before the old schoolmates, and their conversation is thus di- rected. Athletics provide the stepping stone which is es- sential. The sport binds the hearts of the alumni to- gether better than probably any other feature of school life, for after all when we leave school, we do not treas- ure the years of drilling we receive in the class room nearly so much as the memories of the time when the bunch sidetracked Miss K. into discu-s-sing the race problem the morning after the big party when lessons were as nihil as currency. Rubber Tires Here's to the rubber-tired disposition! It doesn't squeak, it doesn't squawk, it doesn't rattle and inciden- tally it doesn't tell everybody what its doing and what a hard time it has doing it. This kind of a disposition goes over the bumps in the road as the non-rubber .tired one, and it covers the same distance, but it possesses the happy faculty of going its way without jolts and jars. Stop your skidding! Be rubber-tired! Run -smoothly and don't growl over your duties and lessons. Reserved Seats In a certain paper .appeared a cartoon representing the brain of a baseball fan. The entire space was reserved for baseball, while his family, his business, his politics and all other interests were barred. We sometimes feel that the high school boy devotes more of his time to athletics than to any other interest in the school. Athletics are all right in their places and it is only When they monopolize the time and that which should be used for other things, that they become all wrong. Be interested in every school activity. Be the all-round person. A reserved seat check in any playhouse is good for but one performance, and no one ever thinks of trying to claim a -seat on an o'ut-of- date check. With a little effort to see things in .th-eir proper perspective, and d-ete-rmination to keep in view by the proper adjustment of the Come In and Keep Out signs, every student should see that his brain space is kept clealred for proper things at the proper time. Alumni Athletic Support The strength of the Lebanon high .school in many ways depends upon the support of the alumni. It takes money to carry on a school and the majority of people who help to maintain the -high school are either gnaduates or have in the past ,attended the institution. Therefore, it is per- fectly logical that the success of athletics depend.s in no small way upon the response of the alumni. We believe that the Lebanon high school alumni are behind the athletic teams of the school. It seems that the individual eatches the spirit of loyalty during his school career and is never quite able to 'shake it oi. The alumni feel the defeats and victories of the high school teams as keenly as the student body. The alumni pledges its .support to athletics and bids the b-est of luck to the boys, who give their time and energy to advance that phase of the school activity. PAGE 11 6 Letters from Two Alumni of L. H. S. Los Angeles, Calif., April 26, 1915. Dear L. H. S.: The first -thing I want to say is-I wish Geraldine Per- kins would pick on some one her own size. She wouldn't dare demand a letter by return mail Cevery line under- scored! from anyone except poor little me, for she knows even at this distance I am afraid to refuse. Is it really time for the last issue of the Pennant? I can hardly realize it. That is one disadvantage of this climate, you lose all account of seasons. When you try to place some certain event you can't remember whether it hap- pened in January or July. We ireally have two seasons- the green season and the brown season. We have occa- sional .rains from November until May, making the moun- tains and hills a beautiful greeng then from May until November no rain at all, so by July everything -that isn't irrigated is a dead brown. The native Californians rave about the beautiful, artistic brown hills, but I must con- fess I prefer the green, and Indiana in the summer looks prettier to me than California. However, just now this country is beyond description. Our rains have been plentiful and the flowers are gor- geous. I have so many brought to me every day I can't find vases for them. And Fridays I have such a time making myself throw even the smaller and less favored ones away. I wan-t to bring every one home, and usually after much indecision, start out with all I can possibly manage, only to find on my arrival-after an uncomforta- PAGE 1 17 ble trip, leaving grumbling passengers and muttering con- ductors in my wake-that I have no place for them. Everything is full and the air heavy with mingled odors. I wish you who are coming to the fair could come early before the artistic brown season wipes out this lovely soft green. Since we are between the two fairs, we are expecting everyone to stop off to see us. We have copied Lebanon's idea and have decorated all the business streets with palm trees set in large, square cement pots. They give the business district quite a tropical atmos- phere, but are very awkward to run into-I speak from experience. Quite a sum has been set aside to entertain guests and I am sorry I haven't the complete summer program at hand to give you. The May Fiesta is to be given May first and third, for which elaborate plans in the way of parades and floats are being made. A Rodeo will be given the nrst ten days of May. June fourth and fifth the schools are Planning to give an historical pagent. The Hrst day will be an elaborate parade, representing the movement of .civilization westward from the earliest ages, and the second day will be the pageant carrying out the same idea. Our school has to send two hundred boys to represent the time of Daniel Boone. They are having great fun making their guns, getting rabbit skins for their hats and working out many other details of costume. The board of education is paying S100 a day to have moving pictures taken of the activities of the schools and these will be shown in connection with the Fiesta. Each school will try to show something that it alone does or stands for, so variety is assured. Last year we leased government land in the mountains and the boys of our school built a mountain cabin and the girls furnished it. It is a beautiful spot in the Big Santa Anita Canyon and is engaged for week-end camping parties weeks ahead. Our picture is to be taken of a crowd of boys on the trail going up and scenes of camp life after they arrive. In addition to all of this we are trying to put out an annual and rehearse for a play-and incidentally have classes between times, I enjoy this wonderful climate thoroughly and have gained back the iifteen pounds I lost in Indiana last sum- mer, but I do get awfully homesick for you all and long to be back in my little Room 11. I am storing up pages of questions to ask Miss Campbell when she arrives. And, by the way, I am going to send her back -to you next fall, weighing two hundred pounds-so beware! Hoping to see many of you next summer on your trip to the coast, I am, Sincerely, GRA-CE NORWOOD. Anderson, Ind., May 1, 1915. To th-e Alumini and Class of 1915: It is with pleasure that I send a word of greeting to fellow graduates of the Lebanon High Scfhool. Although twenty-one years have passed since the class of '94, .the memories of our alma mater .are keen and kind today. Eflicient then, we are more than pleased tha-t down .through the years our school -has kept abreast the times and that it is one of the recognized progressive education- al institutions of the state today. That succe-ss, which has almost uniformly attended its graduates is not accidental. Rather do we believe that it is the natural result of that careful and able training in these principles which go to make up sterling man- hood and womanhood afforded us by the Lebanon High School. After the lapse of years, therefore, we do send words of greeting and kind appreciation. Fr-aternally, FREDERICK VAN NUYS. . PAGE 118 PAGE 119 - 5 E .. : E. 'i 2 ?'. '-E.. 5 19:1 Qg.

WHO'S WHO, WHAT'S WHAT, AND WHY. A Few Points of Interest About L. H. S. in 1915. After much hard and diligent work had been srpent in translating the answers to the queries submitted to the assembly one chapel morning, We are now able and ready to make a full and complete report of the results of an attempt to acquaint .the entire school with many items of interest. The boys' .ages varied from 12 to 21 years, but with the exception of Iro's 210, the girls all seem to be sweet sixteen and never b-een-absent from school a. day in their lives. It is strange how far some of the :students were born from home. Philip Endres, for instanc-e, was born in Elephant-town, Penn., but this place sounded too big for him, so he came to Lebanon. Sevenal contended .that they were born in a house, while others merely stated that they were born in different counties throughout the state. Capple Howard was born in a barn near Squedunk. As to the matter of Church attendance and membership, several have joined the ranks of the Stiarvation Army, some Free Thought and Speech, and many have turned their young lives into the hands of the Evolutionists. . The faculty outdistanced all competitors in the stale joke contest. Professor Brown seemed to be the choice of the vulgar rabble With Professor Smelser and Professor Jones iighting had for second place. It was surprising at the variety of nick names the students have. Edwin Bu.sh asserted that the girls called him Eddie CWhy, girls, how awfulll We can't und-er- stand why Magdalene Mitchell is called Bratty or Why Clarence Kramer is called Dinger, but We suppose there is as good a reason for those as there is for calling Ray Howard Bonehea.d. We believe that L. H. S., a democratic school, has more mixed politics in it .than even Hazel College. There are Radical Reformers contending for free beer and ham sandwiches, the Anarchists and a great number aligned with the Cow Moosesf' Irwin MacDonald signified his intention of going to Pur- due to learn to drive a dray when he got out of school. Jam-es Wiley thought a dom-e-stic science course would better fit him for slinging hash in a restaurant. PAGE 120 Who would ever think that Chris Blew's favorite pas- time wfas working? We would think that the favorite pastime given by Dinger Klramer, namely kidding the vimlmen, would be more suitable to Chris. Dutch Her- drich stated that going to Churchfs was by all means his favorite pastime. When we looked at answer number 9 on all the girls' papers we saw K'is-me. Although we are obliging fel- lows in a case like that, we though some explanation was necessary, which we found when we looked at the ques- tion. The question was What is your favorite brand of chewing? 1Pardon us, girls-our mistakej The boys all seemed to be partial to Peachy Scrap or Granger Twist .as their chose-n brands. We were unfable to understand why so many chose Grant street .as their strolling place until Searle Comley reported that the lights at the north and east end-s of Grant and Fordice streets had not been working for several ' weeks. Several modern authors had their popularity assured when Nick Cart-er, Hoyle ,and Horiato Alger, Jr., all tied for Hnst :as the favorite authors. Kin Hubbard, Walt Mason and W. M. Herschell were all bunched and the edi- to-rs were unable to ascertain their exact positions. Jess Willard, having just won the heavyweight cham- pionship of the world la day or two before the questions were submitted, was easily the public favorite. Mr. Donn Roberts, a notorious character at the time, and Charles PAGE 1 21 Chaplin tied for second place with Professor Stonecipher, of Zionsville, a close third. It is said that a reader will always select the character most like him.self as his favorite. Keeping this in mind, look at the following selections as favorite characters in fiction: Herman Whitehead, Nero, John Godfrey, Young Wild West, Russell Shoemaker, Jack, the Giant Killer, Charles Petig, Silas Marnerf' Paul Routh, Abe Martin. As favorite -historic characters, Buffalo Bill, led .all competitors by four lengths, with D. Boone and General Custer second. Both B. Milton Scifres and Loat Slagle deserve honorable mention. The space after the qu-esti-on, How many times have you cut Ischool?' was left blank on all papers. We are not certain whether it was the students' fear of the prin- cipal or their dislike for telling an untruth -that caused such a condition to exist. CWe believe either motive to be justiiablej Some of the slang expressions given were awful They ranged all the way from gee, gosh and dog gone to d-urn and h-eck. Who would have ever thought that Esther Atkin1son's favorite song is, When I Meet HIM Face to Face. or that sentimental little ditty, The Chamberm1aid's Fight with the Bed Bug, is Ray Howlardfs? We were not at all surprised when the L. H. S. Loyalty song received the most votes. To the question, 'ADO you ever bet? the answer, Only on sure things, was very common. There was a great variety of favorite games. The Freshies voted for Postoffice, the Sophs for Old Maid, the Juniors for Hearts, the Seniors, Mumble-the-peg. Church was easily first as the best athl-ete. Umberhine beat Otis Routh out for second place by voting for himself and by bribing Gene Saunders by declaring his intentions of voting for her in the beauty contest. The editors were literally up a stump when it came to deciding for the best all round man. Sarah voted for Abe, Verda voted for Eddie, Esther voted for Jim, and Emma voted for Henn. Now, how is a mere snake editor going to decide such a thing like that? It was easily decided that Herbie Ransdell was the biggest bluffer, since he won by a unanimous vote. Frank Little, Paul Hooper, Meredith Smith, Charles Petig and Dewey Akers will have to draw straws to see who is the best lookin', as they all tied for first place. The snake editors on the Cedars staff proved to be the most popular boys, but we 'are such modest fellows we d'on't dare print our names here. The most popular male teachers proved to be Lambert and Scifres tied for first, with Slagle third. Scifres says if the faculty had voted, he would have won, as he is mighty popular with Avaline. We believe the janitor deserves honorable mention here. More boys as.sisted him in sweeping the assembly this spring than gathered round .any other teacher. Miss, Voliva proved to be the most popular lady teacher, with Miss Bratton second and all the rest bunched for third. Mary E. Gilmore was highly complimented by being chosen as the best looking girl. Mary Rowan received second place and a great many others were bunched for third place. Grover Flaningam stated that he couldn't decide -as to the prettiest girl. His girl, he said, isn't as pretty, but she has such a winning way. The school chose' Harriet Ashley as the mostgpopular girl, with Magdalene Mitchell running a close second. Leona McNorton beat about sixteen others to third place with Dudley's vote. Ruth. Alkire's ability and genius was complimented when she was selected as the biggest female bluffer. Marie Kinney were running close for Kincaid and Madeline Abagail Mc- second place. Mary E. Gilmore also qualified for a place in this, as well as being the best lookin! Now we don't want to make anybody sore, but it is our duty to print what was handed in to us. We would be willing to bet a sec- ond-hand Ford in fairly good con- dition against a watch or pocket knife that Edith Smith won't like it because she has been selected as the biggest gossip. But she PAGE 122 should have .considerable consolation in the fact that she only beat Viola Nealis by about three votes for this honored position. Viberta Yutzy got third place. We believe that Doris Bonham, Margaret Bowen, Katherine Parkhurst, Eliza Fike, Esther Hedges and practically all other girls deserve honorable m-ention. WHY I AM LEAVING L. H. S. FOR GOOD.
