I shall try to tell a little of the history of our original Freshmen class as it ascended upward, toward the honorable goal—the Senior Class and Graduation. On the first Monday in September, 1! 21. there was eager anticipation, and perhaps a little fear in the hearts of twelve young people. The twelve young people were: Harvey Biggs. Violet Sanders. Oakley Lutes. Alice Tanner, John Cuson, Marcus Miller, Hirain Frank. Robert Wheeler, Wallace Johnson, Arthur Schmidt, Leonard Dillingham, and Gertrude Ilockelberg. The great event they were awaiting was their enrollment as high school students. During the first week or two of school, we felt rather strange and unsettled, but we soon became organised. Mr. Charles Reider taught us Botany; Mr. Harvey Larnhka taught us Algebra and I atln, and Miss Beatrice Morse taught us English. Some of the young people decided to quit high school during tin Freshmen year. Among these were: Murcus Miller, who moved to Chicago; Robert Wheeler, who wont to Alliance, Nebraska, to work in the ear shops; John Cuson. who started to use his Botanical know- ledge oil his father's farm; ami Hiraln Frank, who answered the luring call of the Golden West. Wallace Johnson «lid not return to school after the Freshmen year. During the Sophomore year, we studied Commercial Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry, under Mr, Klijah Wright; and Caesar and Kngllsh under Mrs. Hazel Itockelman. We only lost one of our beloved classmates during the Sophomore year. This was Alice Tanner, who discontinued her studies after her mother's death. There were Just six remaining members in our class, when we entered as Juniors in 11123. The memliership had decreased fifty per cent, in just two ye� i-8. During the Junior year we did not lose any of our classmates. We studied Physiology and Solid Geometry, under Mr. Welch; English under Miss Muriel Deopker, and History under Mr. C. K. Davidson. lastly, and most important of all. comes the fall of nineteen twenty- four, which marks the loginning of our last year of high school. There arc only five of us left. Harvey Biggs decided that it was more of an advantage to stay at home and become an Agriculturist. The five remaining Seniors are: Arthur Schmidt, Violet Sanders, Oakley Lutes, I onard Dillingham and Gertrude Hockelberg. This year we studied Trigonometry the first semester, and College Algebra the second semester. Mr. Welch is our teacher In these two subjects. Miss Cecil Corlew is our English and Economics teacher, and Miss Margaret Calkins is our History teacher. This year has been a pleasant one for all of ns. There have been times during our four years of high school, when the outlook for the future seemed hazy, but this is all past now. We have the long sought for reward. We wish to thank all of our teachers for the faithfulness they have shown us. and for the extreme patience they used with us, when we were unusually «lull. We all hope to make good use of our high school training by becoming pmsperous men an«l women. God grant that this may come to pass. GERTRUDE HOCKELBERG, '25. NEAR ENOUGH!

We desire that all of our debts and Graduating expenses be paid out of our private estates. To the Senior Class of 28, we heurtlly bequeath the privilege of stinlying Trigonometry during the first semester, and we also bequeath to them the privilege of buying our Trigonometry text books at half-price. (This is really quite a bargain.) Out of our benevolent feeling toward our dear Junior friends, we also liequenth to them the privilege of admiring our grades, diplomas, and exultant beauty on Commencement night. To the Sophomore Girls, we give the privilege of taking their choice of the sheiks, who remain at Liberty Center, after the Class of 25 leaves. To the one, lone boy, in the Sophomore year, we extend our heartfelt sympathy. To the Presides, we liequeath an lron-l ound constitution, that they may have the heart and strength to endure the many unexpected hardships that turn up during the four years of High School. To Mr. Welch. Miss Corlew, and Miss Calkins, we bequeath our most sincere thanks for all the kindnesses they have shown us. during this, our last and most important, year of High School. We ask in return for our boundless generosity, that we might always be thought of by our teachers, friends, and underclassmen, In other words, tuat we may exist in their minds as an everlasting memory.

Lutes. Prophecy of E WENT to the Porter County Fair today, and 1 Just happened to loiter along the midway. A glaring sign in front of a fortune- teller’s tent attracted my attention. In a few moments I was inside of the tent. Why I happened to go in there. I can not explain, but I just did. I must have hid a premonition that I was going to hear something of vital interest to me. The fortune-teller asked me what I wished to learn concerning tin future. I told her that I wanted to know the fate of the graduating class of nineteen twenty-five, ten years hence. She consulted her crystal, and the first image she saw was an attrac- tive young woman, dressed in the latest style. She was blonde and slender. Her business suit was the creation of one of the most fashionable designers. As the fortune-teller watched her movements in the crystal glolK . she saw her enter a modest, orderly apartment in Chicago. I wondered what sort of an apartment she was entering, but soon my curiosity was satisfied I thought at first that it might be a living apartment, hut it turned out to Ik a beauty parlor and manicurist shop. The modest, young woman, who was in charge, was none other than my former classmate. Miss iolet Sanders. The next time the fortune-teller gazed into her crystal, she saw’ an image of a stately young man. He looked to Ik in the prime of life. His wife and two young sons were with him. According to the fortune-tellers description, the young wife resembled a former sweetheart of the young man. and I was rather inclined to Itelleve it was none other than my cousin. After the fortune-teller had given me this information. I was anxious to know what profession the young man was following. It turned out that Mr. Oakley D. Lutes was a well-known road contractor, in Wilkes-Barre. Pennsylvania. His aim was to make all of the mountain roads level, or nearly so, in order that he might l� e able to drive his Dodge coach with more speed and comfort. Since Providence had dealt so kindly with these two classmates, I could not help but wonder what was to Ik the fate of the other two members of the class, and also of myself. The next vision in the crystal showed a stout, well-built, young man, with a dark moustache and a Van Dyke beard. A pair of eye-glasses dangled diiiimi Class of ’25 on a ribbon, which was fastened In his left coat lapel. He carried a walking stick, as he loitered along one of the best avenues of Crocker, Indiana. His pretentious home was on this avenue. This young man was Mr. Arthur Schmidt, the wealthy meat-packer, who followed in his father's footsteps, by first buying and selling cattle, and then, later, starting his packing house at Crocker. This packing house is one of the most modern and fully equipped packing houses in any of the larger cities of the United States. The next person, who appeared in the crystal of the mystic was clothed in the black, flowing robes of a minister. He was preaching a sermon at the new Baptist church, at Woodville, Indiana� This was his first year of preaching, because he had worked five or six years, after graduation from High School, before Anally deciding to take up the sacred ordination to the ministry. The members of the congregation had Just built a fine, new parsonage for the minister and his family. This vision brought to my mind the Bible Study, which we had while we were Seniors at Liberty Center. Leonard bad vowed at that time that he would never become a minister, but the Baptist minister turned out to be Mr. Leonard Dillingham, after all. Last of all, the crystal was to reveal my fate in this wide and wonder- ful world. I hoped, before the mystic turned the crystal, that Providence might deal as kindly with me as with my classmates. In a few moments, my hopes were realized. During the ten years, between nineteen twenty-five and nineteen thirty-five. I had spent most of my time teaching or studying for the teaching profession. The first year after graduation, I studied at Valparaiso University. 1 taught for two years at Linderman School, In Liberty Township, and then went to Indiana University, at Bloomington, where I received my Master's Degree in Kducatlon. After I received my Master’s Degree. I started teaching High School at Liberty Center, and was still an old-maid school teacher in nineteen thirty-five. That such wonderful things could happen seemed hardly believable. I stopped and pondered a moment or two. and then handed the fortune-teller my quarter. GERTRUDE C. HOCKELBERG. 25.

Junior Class History T WAS in the yi ar of 11)2 2, tiiat we were the Freshle8 of Liberty Center High School. There were twelve of us: Dorothy Behrendt, Arvld Sheets, Dorothy Larson. Astrid Larson. Mar- guerite Hockellierg. Boy llockdhcrg, Shirley Foster, Jack McDowell, Pearl Wheeler, William Sanders, I roy Hanrahau and Genevieve McLaughlin. Now. as Juniors, we And It amusing to watch a Freshman’s first few days in High School, hut no doubt at that time there were Juniors who thought us quite as amusing. We were like all Fresldes usually are, very green, as they say, but the subjects were new to us, and we were very much interested. We studied Algebra under Mr. K. E. Wright; English and Latin under Mrs. H. Bockelmann; while Mr. C. K. Davidson led us through that mysteri- ous subject of Botany. Soon after the lieginning of the second semester, William Sanders left us. We soon realised that it was nearing the end of the term, for the month of May had arrived, with its sunshine and examinations- At the close of the term, we were delighted to tell one another that we were coming hack in the fall, as Sophomores. Alas! The fall term arrived, but we learned that more than one-half of the former class were missing. Jack McDowell, Genevieve McLaughlin and Dorothy l irsou had moved to other localities. Shirley Foster had sailed away on the “Seas of Matrimony. while the other two, whom we had missed, were taking their Freshman subjects over again. Our class was composed of six: Hoy Hockelberg, Arvid Sheets, Dorothy Behrendt, Astrid I arson, Marguerite Hockellnrg and Alice Tanner. The latter was a new member, who had discontinued her studies the previous year on account of the death of her mother. During the first semester, we received a new member, namely. Fred Hoffman, but only to lose him before the second semester had scarcely begun. This year, Mr. C. K. Davidson was our teacher in Ancient History, instead of Botany; Miss Muriel Deopker taught our English and Caesar classes, while Mr. W. L. Welch, our new principal, taught our Algebra cluss and later led us Into that entirely new, puzzling subject called Geometry. (Continued on Page Twenty-four) Ten —i Sophomores TOP ROW—Leroy Hanrahan.

They were: Grace Hockelberg, IVarl Wheeler, Lucy Luuduhl. Genevieve Figolah, Ida Cole, Marjorie Cuson, Grace I uhurg. Iva Cole, Hulda Johnson, Ruth Esscrman. Astrid Johnson, and I eroy Hanrahan. Hazel Collins joine l our class in late September, but left us at the beginning of the second semester. We were led through the prairies of Rotany by Mr. C. K. Davidson. He found it a hard task to lead us, especially on laboratory days. We were taught puzzling Algebra by Mr. W. L. Welch. We all surely enjoyed his “Tea Parties Miss Muriel Deopker taught English and Isatin. The year closed and we all reported having had a splendid year, of both fun and work, together. We bade our good teachers good-bye and hoped to meet again the next year in the House of Knowledge. A year has gone by! Now we are smiling Sophomores. As we entered the assembly that first school morning in September, we did not see everybody back. Pearl Wheeler remained at home to take up lessons in housekeeping. Hulda Johnson went to Kock Island to receive a better education than Liberty Center could give her. This year, our class consists of only six “honest-to-goodness” Sopho- mores. They are: Ida Cole. Iva Cole, Margaret O'Connor, Ruth Esserman, Astrid Johnson and I eroy Hanrahan. Margaret O'Connor came from Emer- son High school, in Gary, to become one of our class members. The remaining five of our class are with us In some classes. They are: Lucy Lundalil. Grace Hockelberg, Marjorie Cuson, Genevieve Figolah and Grace I enburg. The first semester of this year we took Algebra under our principal, Mr. W. L. Welch. It is a puzzle how we ever got through. After examina- tions, we took up Geometry under Mr. Welch. He feels discouraged with himself, because he usually uses the whole class period to explain the next d iy’s lesson. We don’t feel discouraged about it, though. We found out how dumb we really were, when Alice Tanner started Geometry with us- She’s like an extra book to our class. Miss Margaret Calkins tenches Early European History and Caesar. She gets disgusted when we do not have our lessons, which happens only once in a great while. She gets angry with us, when we do not have (Continued on Page Twenty-four) Eleven —1 mum fluiinaiRH TOP ROW (left to right)—Leslie Sanders, Edward Esserman. SECOND ROW (left to right)—Grace Lenburg.

The nuiulier thirteen often sounded unlucky to the most of us, and really, some were unlucky. We had four subjects to correspond with. English, which we all seemed to adore, was taught by Miss Corlew. During the .term, we read a great many books, a few in class, but many more outside of class. Some would fret and frown If one would have the privilege of reading more than others. Then all of us longed so for Latin class to come, which was taught by Miss Calkins (as we had forty-five minutes). We never could see any use of Latin. “Don’t forget to learn your vocabulary. was Miss Calkin’s daily reminder. The two last, but best subjects, is our Algebra and Biology, taught by Mr. Welch, our principal. The former subject was a mere joke, but the latter—we had the most trouble trying to learn “The Science of Life.” The mumps and measles then gained entrance into the school and chased many of us home. Some were glad to have a vacation, or rather not have to study, but most always rejoicing to see the day when we could again Ik with our schoolmates. The Orchestra is a great help to our school, but only one Freshie entered. There really should have been more, but, of course, each one must decide for themselves. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we always have different periods off, but 'twas a shame when those periods on which we did not recite. We often found many difficulties in our studies, but with our teachers’ help ami aid. we climbed the hill and was at the head of the class. When we did not study or fall asleep at night over our books, we noticed our lessons were poor for the coming day. We must get busy so tea parties” will Ik� more scarce at noon. These “tea parties, as they were called, always consisted of the To-Be-Freshies or the Freshmen. The rest of the High School seemed to work (when not idling) better than any of the rest. Some day the thirteen Freshies may pass through the Sophomore and Junior classes to the dignified Senior class. We may then be able to laugh at others, as they come to (Continued on l age Twenty-four) Eighth Grade TOP ROW (left to right)—William Hanrahan, Martin UrkIo.

The big goal, which they all set out to reach, was graduation. The sturdy, little lighters were: Evelyn Lundihl, Dorothy Gustafson, Marguerite Dan. William Hanra- hsn, Martin Laszlo, Melvin Smedman, William Figolah, Henry Foster, and Norma Behrendt. We nine stuck it out and all hope to sit on the stage together graduation night. Once in a while, we ran up against a hill, which was rather hard to get over, but under the guidance of our faithful and patient teachers, we succeeded at last. We make it our business to Ik cheerful and helpful to others, and try to make life easier for our instructors. We sailed roughly over the high seas of Arithmetic and English, with Miss Corlew. our captain. She was also our pilot in Heading. Through the dense forests of Geography and Civics, we were guided by Miss Calkins. She was also our leader in 1‘hysiology and Spelling. The boys struggled through Agriculture, under the masterful hand of Mr. Welch, while the girls were shown over the pleasing route of Domestic Science by Miss Corlew. We are sorry to leave school and the teachers for the summer, but, even though we do say it ourselves, we think we deserve our vacation, after our strenuous studying this past winter. We all hope to come back in full force next September, prepared to enter the portals of High School. May the succeeding Eighth Grades enjoy their last year in Grammar school as we have enjoyed ours.

We now have sixteen, as Irene Hussar, of Indiana Harbor, entered on March thirtieth. She says she is glad to be back at Liberty ('enter. ------------ We have had a busy and enjoyable year. At Hallowe’en time we had a party. The prize of the chief contest was won by Norval. At Christmas time we tried to help out with the entertainment, but the “I’se in Useless was not given, as Leona and Gladys were not present. Everyone is enjoying the work of muking the Booklets for the Reading Quotations. Also, most of us have a few well-painted pictures, which we are intending to keep. Raymond is going to look at his when he is about a hundred years old. The Seventh Grade miss Earl, when he is absent, for they do not have many review words for spelling the following day. In our room we have Luella, who is a studious girl, and that is the reason she needs to sharpen her pencil so many times a day. Then, there is Berenice, who just cannot keep her feet on the floor. If it is ever necessary to have any “kicking done, call on the Sixth and Seventh Grade girls. They can do the work. It is hard to tell when Eda is absent, for she is seldom in her seat anyway. Alfred doesn't care to catch frogs any more, as he doesn’t want to be sent out of the room to wash his hands. Walter and Norval are sure book-worms, especially for library books. . The cat must take Edward’s tongue occasionally, for he docs not talk. Berenice and Irene are going to be ball players when they grow up. Dorothy, Elizabeth, and Helen are the chatter boxes of the room. Luella uses her Geography book for a foot rester. She’s sure getting old. Clara is the quiet girl, who has made many beads. Leona, with her agreeable disposition and smiling face, is the friend of all. MRS. VINA PEARSON. Teacher. FIRST ROW (left to right)—Henrietta r iu, Edna Johnson. Helen Daly. Rosalie Dau.

Pa Fourth and Fifth Grades Class History HEN school began in September, we had twenty four in our room. We have had an enjoyable year together, although We have studied hard. We started the year by having recitations on Friday afternoon, which the children enjoyed. We alBO sang songs and lmd folk dances, which made our hoys feel rather embarrassed, because they had to have girls for their partners. The Fifth Grade enjoy dramatizing stories, especially “The Miller and Ills Wife, In which Harold was the Miller and Elvira his wife. They acted it very nicely. Harold is a mischievous lad. but he does not like to work extra problems, and his heart goes pit-a-pat, when Miss Danielson asks for a ruler. Yes. and there's Ralph and Anna, who like to smile and show their dimples. Then we have our little fat girl, who is liked by all, as she is so pleasant and intelligent. Herman likes to write stories, but, my most embarrassing moments are when I have to read them.” Elvira entertains us with recitations, whenever she is called on. Next we have our Fourth Grade, which is a very studious class, with the exception of a few, who would like to take a vacation whenever they wish, but they usually have to work harder. We have two little boys in the Fourth Grade that have not been absent a day, and we are praying that Leonard can run fast enough, so that the measles do not get him. Then we have Edna. Ruth and Helen D., who like to whisper to each other. Yes. we have little I eslie. who Is rather timid, but studious? ? We also have our little twins, who are generally dressed the same, thus making It hard to distinguish one from the other. We nil remember little Laura, who could recite so well. We also rememl� er Ruth, our little Fifth tirade girl, that Harold liked to sit by In class, and now Miss Danielson has to insist that he sit next to Elvira. Then the two Henry’s, who insist on whispering in school time, and get their names on the board. The children like to do favors for Miss Danielson, but sometimes she fools them.

These bright, keen and alert little people were fresh in mind and body, eager and anxious to start on the first step of the great ladder of Kducatlon. They have tried h rd. and with untiring efforts have succeeded in reaching the go.il, for which they have ln en striving. Vincent ami Hilda are the only two who have had any trouble getting up on the first step. Hilda will possibly la successful, with five more weeks of hard work, and the kind and willing assistance of her classmates. Vincent will have to go hack and start over next year. In April. Kmmu Huszar was admitted to our class from Indiana Harbor. She also will have to start over next year. The Second tirade were eleven in number at the loginning of the term. Pauline and Wilbur left us and entered the Fast Gary School. We regretted very much to lose two of our best classmates, hut consoled ourselves by thinking, “our loss will he someone clse's gain. This class is a splendid one and they have a fine start for the next step on their ladder. We have all worked hard to help Peirl over the stony places, that chance to he in her path. Sometimes they seem almost impassable. The Third tirade, four In number, until Allen entered in April from Chicago, find the third step of their ladder very easily climbed, lucanae I hey had such a go � d start from the second step.

We made our first appearance in public at the P. T. A. meeting on Septem Iter 2X, 1!� 24. This proved a success and Mr. Welch launched the Ten Free lesson Plan, which resulted in more pupils preparing to play with us. The school bought a set of drums, and Arvid Sheets began taking lessons on them. He joined the orchestra in u very short time, thus making a seven-piece orchestra. .1 ust l� efore Christmas. Arthur Schmidt joined with his saxaphone After Christmas. Marcia Dillingham with her trombone, and Lucy Lundahl with her saxaphone, joined the orchestra. A little later, William Hanrahan joined with his clarinet, and Melvin Smedman with his violin. Melvin, however, imagined that the music was hard and he let his imagination get away with him l� efore he learned the music, so he quit in about two weeks, leiving an eleven-piece orchestra. It has furnished music for every P. T. A. meeting this school term, and also a musical program, which was given with the play at Christmas. The Orchestra has been a great help to the school, l ecause it brings the members and teachers closer together, thus enabling them to become RCH ESTRA better acquainted. Even the non-members look forward to the days of orchestra practice. We have not only trained five members of our organization since th . beginning of the school year, but we have done It in such a way that we expect to give a musical program at the County Oratorical Contest, to he held in Valparaiso. We expect to give a High School dance and furnish our own music, and also play at the Commencement this spring. I. as a member of the Orchestra, earnestly ask the parents of this school to encourage their children to take up music and be able to take part in the Orchestra another year. This should he done immediately, because upon the graduation of the Senior Class, three members will be taken away, and should any misfortune appear that any others should not be in school next year, the Orchestra will be in great need of new members. You parents have surely enjoyed the music furnished by us on differ- ent occasions, and we have done our utmost to please you, but now that It Is started, we ask you to do your part by giving your children training on their favorite instrument and produce future Orchestra members. This can Ik done at a small cost and it will Insure, that when you come to these meetings, you will be entertained by the best of music furnished by your own children. L. LEONARD DILLINGHAM, '25. The C h r i s t m a HE Christmas Entertainment, given Friday evening, December nineteenth, by the pupils of the tirade and High School of Liberty Center, was quite well attended in spite of the cold weather. Quite a sum was realized with which to further the work of the High School Orchestra. The Orchestra played several selections before the pro- gram opened and also played selections during the intermissions between the performances of the Grade pupils. The First, Second and Third Grades from Miss Aylesworth’s room, gave a Merry Christmas drill, which was very charming. At the conclusion of this, three pupils from Miss Danielson’s room gave impressive selections, which portrayed the Christmas spirit. The Fourth and Fifth Grades sang a charming little song about Santa’s Airship. After this the Orchestra, under the capable leadership of Miss Corlew. rendered several selections. The next thing on the program was a song, “The Christmas Ship,” which was sung by the pupils of the Sixth and Seventh Grades. Three numbers, “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks.” “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear,’ and “() Come All Ye Faithful,” were rendered by the chorus, under the leadership of Miss Calkins. A number of selections were then played by the Orchestra. There was great applause, and the Orchestra generously responded with a number of encores. The last number on the program was a play entitled. “At the Sign of the Pewter Jug.” which was coached by Mr. Welch. Those taking part in the play were: Grace Hockelberg. Oakley Lutes, Leonard Dillingham, William Hanrahan. Arthur Schmidt, Iris Babcock, Alice Shaw, Hazel Marshall. Margaret O’Connor and Alice Tanner. Grace Hockelberg played the part of NTERT AINMENT l la Schuler: Iris Babcock played the part of Barbara Schuler, and Margaret O'Connor played the part of Suzanne Schuler. The three sisters were left flve hundred dollars and an old pewter jug by their uncle, Mr. Weatherbee. The part of the uncle was played by Arthur Schmidt. He took an assumed name and watched their efforts to turn the five hundred dollars in to five thousand. If they could do this at the end of a specified time, they were to receive fifty thousand dollars. The play was full of interesting mix-ups, love affairs, and plenty of luughter. The guests at the Pewter Jug were: Mrs. Wellington-Watts, played by Alice Shaw; Betty Watts, her daughter, played by Hazel Marshall; Prince Boris, of Valencia, a fake prince, played by Arvid Sheets; a secret service man. Robert Doolittle, played by William Hanrahan; John Mack- enzie. a wealthy ranchman, played by Oakley Lutes; and Weatherbee, the unde in disguise, played by Arthur Schmidt. The part of the maid was played by Alice Tanner and the part of the hotel clerk and porter, who was the real prince in disguise, was played by ILeonard Dillingham. These two characters took part In the most humorous situations of the play. All of those taking part in the play did exceptionally good work. After all of the mix-ups had been settled, the Schuler girls received their legacy, Suzanne was married to John Mackenzie, Barbara was married to Doolittle, and Betty Watts captured the real Prince of Valencia. Lela gave up the fake prince, when she found him out. Everything turned out real well and the' play was a success from every stand point. GERTRUDE HOCKELBERG.

It was completely surrounded with trees and thick brush. One could not see this hut unless he was nearly upon it. The history of the house, and especially of Jack himself, was exceedingly interesting. The house was said to be haunted, Jack having been murdered and his body found hanging on the arbor by a long thin chain. The arbor was Just beyond the kitchen No one knew what happened to the murderer, us he has never been Some believe he was drowned in the nearby bottomless pond, while believe he still lives. We all had been brought up with many superstitious beliefs around us. Evil spirits and ghosts were said to be seen, both day and night, near the vicinity of the house that Jack built. Some might be seen rowing In their coffins in this strange pond, others were said to In walking, headless, and many ghostly calls and crying might be heard. And if one should happen to In in this strange place, he might hear the murderer dragging Jack s ghost up the stairs at midnight As it was told, when Jack had been murdered, the murderer had dragged the body up the stairs and then had hanged it from the gallows by the grape arbor. I. myself, was not afraid of these superstitious things in the day time, but was not so certain about it at night. 1 was very fond of duck hunting. One cloudy day. 1 proceeded on a hunting trip. The weather was very threatening, but 1 did not think that I would wander very far, and that I would soon return. The ducks were numerous, but they seemed to know where to fly for refuge and they flew in great numbers in the direction of the pond. No one had passed through this marsh since the murder of Jack, except the detectives, who had related the ghostly instances to the people. I advanced into the marsh and before I realized the fact, I was among its tanglements of vines and trees. Thinking of those ducks and how pleased lather would be of so great a number, I absent-mindedly worked my way through the woven mass. It was worse than any Jungle that I had ever imagined to Ik in South Africa, for I believe that there are wild animals vs ho break the vines away. Rut here one could not even see a path. I soon took note of a very dilapidated hut. It dawned upon me that this was the house that Jack built. There was the bottomless pond!

I looked all around and booh discovered this to be a chain hanging from the vines of the grape arbor. The links were small and nearly rusted off. Some of the links had fallen and lay beneath the arbor among some nuts, which a squirrel had probably brought there. I examined the arbor. There were the gallows on which .lack had been hanged! I was unaware of the terrific storm, which was approaching. 1 walked near the hut and looked above. I noticed the heavily drooping «loud hovering over the hut. Just at that moment. I heard a violent peal of thunder and huge drops of rain fell. I passed into the partly opened door. I was in the haunted house! Every ghostly tale that I had heard about at home, immediately came to my mind. It seemed a9 though I could � ee Jack's body walking around, and even see it hanging from the arbor. All sounds startled me, I imagined them to be footsteps. I started for the door, but the rain forced me back, as it was coming down in torrents. I then realized it was in this house that 1 must spend the night. I looked about me and noticed stairs leading to the upper floor, but I preferred the ground floor for my night quarters. I entered a room and sat down on a pile of hoards. I soon fell ash ep and. when awakening near midnight. I heard a rattle of a chain. It seemed awfully loud. Then I heard another queer noise, which was followed by what I Imagined to be a human footstep. Jack's ghost was being dragged up the stairs. I was terribly fright ened and held myself rigid for some moments. It seemed hours before I recovered my thoughts. I had either fallen asleep or fainted, for I noticed the sun coming up over the pond. It was morning nnd the storm had ceased. There was that cool, refreshing feeling that follows a storm or a shower, and it seemed to give me courage. It was daylight and I was not afraid. I was determined to investigate the second floor before returning home. On the top step of the stairs I found several links of rusted chain lying there, with a few nuts, evidently the om� s that I had seen beneath the grain arbor, the evening before. These rooms seemed to be the home of the squirrels from that marsh. They had been Jack's ghost! ALICE M. TANNER. ‘2(5. I Was the second prize story of the short sto [WAS just a plain, little, yellow clog, about one foot high, little ears that flopped as 1 ran. I had a little black nose, and funny eyes. 1 suppose, because they turned towards my nose, and I was cross-eyed. _________________ 1 have heard many people say 1 was ns pretty as a board. At first I did not know whether that was a compliment or not. 1 do not see how I could be very homely, though, because my hair is yellow, and that is not such an awful color. Now if I was green or purple It would be different. One day I heard a little boy say: “See that old, yellow dog. 1 was not old and it hurt my feelings. So 1 just went out by a house and stayed out of sight. I had crawled in a clothes basket of clean clothes. The clothes were nice, white, soft and comfortable. So I just lay there thinking of that miserable boy. His hair was red, and he hid freckles. I’ll never forget that ugly hoy; he will always stay in my memory. Anyone who has red hair had lietter-----Oh! such a noise , here conies a red headed lady, with a big broom and it struck me—right on my black nose. Oh dear! how It pained! She was still chasing me. So 1 ran and then, alas! I fell into a tub of blueing. Now I was sure my hair would be blue. I was heart- broken. I didn't have any more time to think though, because here came that dreadful lady again, all ready to strike me- I guess she did.too. because when I. remember last. I was flying through space about a hundred feet from the tub. My nose was all raised up. until I could hardly see at all. But, to my great joy, my hair had not turned blue! This was enough to make up for my nose. I could hardly express my joy. I ran around the corner, knocked down a man—tipped over an ice cream freezer—then around another corner, only to hump Into a boy who was carrying a basket of eggs. Would I never stop having bad luck? Now three people were chasing me. I dashed into a dark alley and was lost from sight. I stayed there several days, as I was afraid to venture out again. Rut on Friday, the thirteenth, at three A. M„ I slipped out Into the street. No one was astir, so I slipped up to a house and slept until sunrise. When 1 awakened, the sun was hot however. 1 saw a red-headed l� oy and determined to follow him. He went to a meat market. I saw a nice piece of meat, so I slipped up. grabbed it. and ran. Everyone, of course, chased me. That was enough. 1 crawled under a porch and slept ’till the next morning. Page A Dog UY CONTEST 11 KM AT LIBERTY CENTER HIGH SCHOOL. A� 1 awakened, I felt suddenly happy; happier than 1 had in several weeks. It seemed as though 1 was about to have good luck. However, my feelings deceived me, because as I crawled from under the porch, some children caught me, tied a string around my neck and dragged me around the house several times. Finally I broke loose and ran, with the string still around my neck. This was terrible, everyone laughed at me and l oys threw stones at me until I nearly gave up. As I ran down the street next day, I saw some more of those red- headed people—boys. too. Then all at once, one of them fell down over the bridge and into the river and he was washed out into the stream. The other children ran screaming for help. People came from every direction. But no one was ready to go into the foaming water to save the boy. Anyway, it didn’t make any difference to me if I did drown. It took some time to reach him—I grabbed his coat and pulled frantically. I went slowly at first, then gained speed. The next minute his coat slipped off. I finally reached him again and was soon on shore. Kveryone ran after me, I Buppose they really meant to pet me, but how was I to know? I had only the faintest memory of someone being good to me. Sometimes. I just lay and dreamed of it. Finally one of those people caught me. They took me to a little old house. There the lady was kind to me, and the children potted me. I could not understand all this, until one evening I heard them talking. I found out that they were the parents of the boy I had saved. And still more Important. I found that one thousand dollars would be given to the person who found me. Me. just a little, homely, . yellow dog. They said that my master, who was now dying, had offered that sum for the one who found me. if they would take good care of me and always treat me well- They said that I had been lost from my master altout two years. When I saw his picture, I remembered Ids instantly. I was so happy, because my master had. for two years, been searching for me. I was really wanted! Someone had cared for me. My other master died and I was always loved by these kind people, and they were all red headed. It Isn’t so bad to l� e n dog. after all, because no dog ever had as miserable a life as I, until I was saved; and I am sure they always are saved. I guess red-headed people are very nice, if you do not lay in their baskets of clean clothes. MIRIAM LUTES. ‘28.

Teacher. •nty-four —H Birds Re birds, the gay, Utile, feathered creatures, with cheerful songs B and chattering, are one of man’s natural friends. Nature is so balanced that every species has its friends and enemies. I The birds are very Important to us. because the Insects l| which they use for food, are au enemy to man. The insects, which the mother robin brings to the little robins in the nest, and which are a delicacy to them, are one of our worst enemies. Every year thousands of these feathered friends of man are destroyed, and we stand by and watch the destruction, see the number of birds becoming smaller and smaller each year, and yet, we do nothing to prevent It—nothing to even check the slaughter. Great numbers of birds are killed every year for mere sport. They are killed because their bright-colored plumage makes such a fine mark at which to shoot. Many birds are sacrificed and must give their bright colored coats of feathers to trim some fashionable lady’s Raster bonnet. She does not give a thought to the fact that the bird would have l� een far more valuable alive, than dead. It would have fought continually that enemy of man, “insects.” It would, perhaps, have cheered many sad hearts with its “Chirp! Chirp.” The function of the many colored feathers is to keep warm the little bird’s t� ody, not to be dead, lifeless, on some new spring hat. The wings are to enable the bird to soar high into the air, not to make a hat attract attention. Many of the songsters are killed during their migrations by flying against such obstacles as telephone wires. Many are lost at light houses, while Journeying over water. They have yet another enemy to combat in the form of the domestic cat. The cat is really not much use to man. Of course, it kills mice, but this does not compensate for the injury it does to the birds. Some species of birds have l� een exterminated when the forests, which were their homes, have been cut away. Still others are lost through destruction of eggs. The spraying of trees has been fatal to many others. The insects having eaten the poison, before they were, in turn, eaten by the birds. If our forefathers had not wantonly destroyed the birds, spraying would be unnecessary, because the birds would have killed the insects, which the spraying kills. If we would just be a little more thoughtful, we might save great numbers of these friends of humanity. ation To Man We will not sailer from the effects of destroying the birds, but the next generations will. Our forefathers did not suffer, because they slew the birds. No, we are suffering for them. They never had to spray trees to get rid of the Insects. Why not? Because the birds killed the insects. Then they killed the birds, so we have to spray our trees, if we wish to have good fruit. Hunters must learn to find sport in opera glasses. They would find much more fun in studying the habits and traits of different birds. Where they build their nests, how they build them, the colorings and marks of distinction of different birds, are very interesting- Women must learn to be contented with dyed feathers of domestic fowls, or with artificial flowers which are just as pretty for trimming their hats. There are other ways of protecting und encouraging the birds. Build- ing homes for them and sprinkling crumbs for them, when snow is on the ground, will invite them to stay. Heats might In� placed at lighthouses for birds who travel at night over the water. Some birds are not altogether useful, but none are altogether harmful. They may l e very valuable in one region, and harmful in another. This can be illustrated by the bob-o-link ; In the South it is injurious to the rice fields, but in the North it is an insect destroyer. Many farmers cry out against the crows, because they steal the corn. The crows do an immense amount of good in the corn field, killing field mice, and many kinds of Insects. Then they take a little corn as their pay. They do much good work for the little pay they take. The chicken hawk is another bird, which is killed by farmers. Of course, this bird may steal a chicken now and then, but It, too, does much good in return. Several years ago, the farmers of Nebraska began to kill the red-winged blackbirds, because they ate so much of the grain. The next year, when there were no red-winged blackbirds, the locusts became so numerous that the whole grain crop was ruined. The songs and chatter and appearances of the birds are enough to make us want to protect them. What would spring be without birds? No nest building, no “chirp, chirp.” to be heard, no flashes of blue and red and brown and yellow in the sky. We do not care to picture spring without birds. Then let us protect them, and help them to fight the obstacles they meet, as we would help a friend, lwcause each little bird is a friend to us.

The dress for the second act isn’t finished and oh! my part, too!” “I wonder how this will turn out.” Mr. Welch—“Take a hold of her wrist like you intended to hurt her.” Grandpa—“Gosh sake� ! I can’t hurt her that night in front of all those people.” Pansy—“Do I put all my weight on that window?” Monte—“I.should say not. Whatcha’ think that window is to be made of?” Lucy—“Why don’t you exercise with the other foot, too?” Pansy—“Don’t bother me, I can’t do it with that one too.” Monte—“Now, good night, grandpa.” Lucy—“Tod. say your part.” Tod—(still dreaming).

Dorothy May—“Goodness no, that’s in Latin.” Grandpa (after putting apron and cap on Tod)—“Now you look more like a monkey and less like a cook.” Monte—“What do I do now?” Lucy—“Oh. you're supposed to sink (into a chair) and bury your hands in your head.” Marie—“How is McCormack going to get the lipstick off his face?” McCormack—“Oh. that’s easy!

The pastor, who was fond of figures of speech, was making an oration. He l egan his address: “Friends, we have here only the shell of the man, the nut is gone. NO COMPLIMENTS. Marjorie— He’s so romantic, whenever he speaks to me he always says. “Fair lady. Walter—“Oh. that’s a force of habit. We know he used to be a street car conductor. Biology Blues EXT year, when we are Sophomores, (doesn’t that sound big?) we will smile, when we think of the blues. Those bad. old Biology Blues were sure to come every afternoon. At first our class began at 1:05 P. M., and ended at 1:45 p. M , but Mr. Welch didn't approve of our conduct. There was Ruth Johnson, who always enjoyed talking to someone; Hazel Marshall, Miriam Lutes, Alice llanrahan and Lucy Lundahl. who were con- stantly day-dreaming, or were half asleep; Edward Esserman and Leslie Sanders, who had dreams of their own. or were carrying on some kind of a conversation; Lillie Schmidt, who was always awake when there was a mouse in sight; Dora Schmidt and Alice Shaw, who get a “kick’’ in holding hands: while Marjorie Cuson always has something to say (when she’s not asleep). Now, there were three studious girls in our class in the persons of Margaret O’Connor, Marjorie Drake, and Iris Babcock. They always managed to get their notes, while the rest were sleeping or doing something else. Lastly, there is Inez Para bee, who took things far too seriously. Mr. Welch often told her she might leave the room if things were too hideous. It was but little Biology knowledge we received with this sort of conduct. Unluckily. Mr. Welch realized the fact that our conduct was very poor, so he decided to make our class period longer, by beginning It at 1:05 P. M., and continuing it until 2:30 P. M.. with the first forty minutes as a study period, and the rest of the time for recitation. (It was little reciting we did. as he always gave us a written lesson.) Ruth Johnson generally welcomes Mr. Welch at the beginning of the class period, by asking him if we are going to have a written lesson. Mr. Welch, with a smile, will sav: “Perhaps.” never “Yes,” never “No;” he just keeps us guessing. Every time we think of these events we get the Biology Blues. LUCY LUNDAHL, 27.
