Now these pilgrims’ names were: Sam Walstra, Edward Gloyeski, George Shooter. John Riggs, Glenn Olson, W illiam llanrahan, -— Lester 11 ineline. V illiam Figolah, Melvin Smedman. Anna O’Connor, Edith Drake, Dorotha Gustafson, Norma Rehrendt and Evelyn Lundald. After journeying for some time, they came to the Slough of Despond, where Sam Walstra and John Riggs were caught. Further hardships caused the desertion of Anna O’Connor and Lester IIineline. Whenever the pilgrims yrow weary their Interpreters (Carlson, Corlew and Roekelmann) kept up tiieir courage. After nine months ot tiring travel the Delectable Mountains were reached, where they passed three happy months of rest. Now they entered the Land of the Sophomore, a country hilly and rough. A new pilgrim, Renton Blackman, joined their company, but the dangers of the Hill of Difficulty caused Edward Gloyeski to turn aside to the Land of Agriculture, and William llanrahan to the Field of Electricity. Two growling lions. Algebra and Geometrv. lay in wait for them by the side of the path, but as they came nearer they saw that the beasts were chained so they could pass without harm. When tliev reached the Land of the Junior, they found many things of interest. They saw strange sights in the House of Drama: a trial for Mr. Carlson and “The Perfect Little Goose. George Shooter became so frightened of Giant Despair that he made his escape to the Land of Jackson. They acquired a new Interpreter, Sti,„soi,. Their association with Mr. Talkative continually got them into trouble. ml now finally, they reached the Land of Senior, a rolling irountn that from its heights nffonle.1 a wonderful view over the limits of the west. One pilgrim, Dorotha Gustafson, was always looking at a distant field, and ere long she stepped across the stile into the flowery meadows of Matrimony. Of all the pilgrims that had started from the City of Ignorance, but seven remained. As (rmttiiined on Page Fifty-nine) Then liere’s to our class of Seniors That have struggled through four long years To make every day the best day I’ntil Commencement time should appear. No more shall we gather in September When Liberty’s doors open for you, For our task here will be ended With these books and classes we're through. No more shall we have these dear friendships. No more these glorious days; For us new paths will be opening Showing life’s various ways. So we bid farewell to school days, As Commencement eve draws near; And we write on our hearts, dear classmates, That “each day is the best in the year. — EDITH DRAKE. -------------o------------ Miss Stimson can run, by golly, ’Cause she tore like heck for the trolley.

Juniors and Seniors. Given the equilateral decagon S, 0, Pt II. 0. M, O, R, E. S and the triangle Frosh-Juniors-Seniors inscribed within. To prove that the decagon is greater than the triangle. PROOF 1. The Sophomores excel in beauty. (Examine our pictures.) 2. The Sophomores excel in intellect. (Ask our teachers.) 3. The Sophomores excel in originality. (They purchased nifty class caps, which all classes coveted and stole. The Freshmen immediately ordered some for themselves, but had them similar iu every detail.) 4. The Sophomores excel in speed. (It has always taken previous classes until the Junior year to accumulate enough skill and pep to present a class play. The Sophomores of 1J12J1 arc presenting “Ducks,” and getting it ready in a shorter period than has any other class.) 5. The Sophomores excel in congeniality. (They never fight among themselves. They are popular with their teachers.) 6. The Sophomores excel in sociability. (They gave an enjoyable spread on the occasion of their president s birthday.) 7. The Sophomores excel in athletic prowess. (The Seniors beat the Juniors in basketball, HI T the Sophomores beat both the Freshmen and the Seniors.) 8. The Sophomores are most trustworthy.

Then we began to look forward to the banquet. But the continual whispering conferences of groups of upperclassmen made us lose nerve, as we wondered whether their evident glee might not be over some initiation stunts. Two Freshies got so worried, they slipped away at noon on the fateful day. Then, too, Mr. Glass was in charge of the pest control project and thoughts of mouse tails and sparrow heads haunted us just what would his gang try to feed us! So, when we were marched down the stairs at 1:80 April 18, we were ready for anything. We were first placed ill the manual training room, under guard of Miss Stimson. Two at a time, we were admitted to the dining room. Ella, Enid and Clarice seized us. as we entered, and pinned large, green oilcloth bibs around our necks. Then the long tables and the room, prettily decorated in green and gold, attracted our attention. Green balloons were tied to the back of each alternate chair. The Sophomores told us to find our places, and such a search until each had found the program hearing his own name! Evidently they thought we needed guarding, because each Freshie found himself seated between two upperclassmen. When all had found their places, the toastmaster, Mr. (Hass, said grace and the Eighth Grade girls began to serve the first course. Again we found our class colors in evidence, for our plates held chicken patties, potatoes au gratin with cheese, buttered carrots and peas, piekles and olives. To accompany these we had parker- house rolls and cabbage and pineapple salad with pimento garnish. Then another Sophomore, Emanual, made a talk, presenting us with our class pins — safety pins at least five inches in length! But we put them on and began to enjoy our meal. The second course was pistachio nut ice cream and orange-iced cupcakes. We surely appreciate the generosity of the upperclassmen in providing for us so bountifully, and the kindness of the grade girls in serving. The toastmaster called us to order, finally, and the program began. The general subject was “A High School Short Course, and the speeches carried out the idea of advice on high school affairs for the benefit of the Freshies. Our own Paul Dillingham told how to get into high school. Then Benton gave an intere ting address on how to he punctual. Berenice gave some desirable information on how to he orderly, and Leona told us how to ‘ get in Dutch. Evelyn then concluded the general advice by suggestions on pleasing the teachers. Ed told how to play basketball, and Willie, being grand master of the art, explained how to drink pop. Lois decided that the best way to Hebron was “with your inspiration. Raymond discussed table manners—we hope he practices what he preaches. Enid, in “How to Swim, ’ told us that green things are always at the bottom of the lake, but that we might manage to swim through four years of high school, since we were already “all wet. In his speech on being an artist. Frank gave enthusiastic endorsement of penny pencils. Ella gave some Sophomore experiences in giving a play. George related some hair-breadth escapes (for the solicitors) experienced during the selling of ads. Elestor refused to reveal the secret of our winning the contest in selling subscriptions. Vernon, being an expert, told us how to study, and Emanual explained just how “A’s” are made. Glenn closed that section of the program with remarks on how to graduate. Mr. Carlson and Miss Stimson awarded the long coveted “LV to the two basketball teams. As a conclusion, we Freshmen responded to the subject. “How to Sing,” by warbling for our hosts our own class song. The prizes were also awarded for the selling of annuals: first going to Victor Miskimins, second to Anna rohnson and third to Evia Linnabary. The busses were ready and street cars don’t wait, so the party broke up at 3:10. The dreaded initiation had turned out to be a load of fun, and we were all happy. — AVIS BABCOCK.

H. S. A. A. Regular practice, hard work, and a live interest in the game has offset inexperience and enabled us to win more than sixtx per cent of our games. Of our present girls’ team, we lose only one by graduation, Xoriua Bebrendt, who has proved to be a very capable player in all parts of the game. Her place will be filled after a hot contest among this year's substitutes and some splendid playei3 coming in from the grades. We look forward to a girls team for next year that will win many games. The boys, not quite so fortunate, will lose four of the first team members by graduation. Benton Blackman, William Figolah, Glenn Olson and Melvin Smedman deserve mention here for the consistent way in which they have served during the past three years. Much credit is due them for the progress Liberty has made in basketball. In spite of this loss, the boys are looking forward to having a real scrappy team. What they lack in stature, they hope to make up in increased speed and strength. X X OR ISM AN, October 11. 1928 Girls—Crisman, 40; Liberty, lb. This was a hard fought, but one-sided, battle, girls were Freshmen and showed inexperience, but a bright future. Bovs—Crisman, 8; Liberty, 12. Four of our material for Crisman had all to lose and nothing to gain, while Liberty had everything to gain. It was a bitterly-fought contest and quite different from previous Liberty vs. Crisman games. XXX BOONE GROVE—November 2, 1928 Girls—Boone Grove, 26; Liberty, 9. Liberty girls are beginning to show talent ; practice makes perfect, and our girls are now getting practice. They showed a scrappy front, although they were outplayed. Boys—Boone Grove, 7; Liberty, 24. Boone Grove started the game with a field goal, but Liberty immediately retaliated with a basket ami then took the lead. Blackman led the scoring attack with thirteen points to his credit. XXX GRIFFITH—November 9, 1928 Girls—Griffith, 30; Liberty, 5. Griffith’s larger and more experienced team took the lead and held it. Boys—Griffith, 39; Liberty, 21. During the first half the Liberty boys seemed to be outclassed for Griffith slipped through repeatedly for short shots. In the last half, Liberty overcame their stage fright and easily outscored Griffith, 17 to 11, but that was not enough and the game ended with Griffith leading. XXX WASHINGTON—November 17, 1928 Girls—Washington. 8; Liberty. 12. Washington found Waterloo. Both teams played real basket- ball, but Liberty proved the stronger. This was our girls first victory and a complete one. Boys—Washington. 27; Liberty, 28. Feeling so eiated over the outcome of the girls game, the boys made “whoopee,” too. Washington led through most of the game until in the last few minutes of play, Olson slipped in an under tin basket shot. Washington had let! 18 to 9 at the halt, but Libertv’s comeback won out. XXX ( ALL.MET TOWNSHIP— November 23, 1928 Girls—Calumet. 7 ; Liberty, 13 Our girls played such a good game that Calumet came out on the short end of the score. Boys—Calumet, 23; Liberty, 30. It seems that in every game Liberty makes a last half fight that wins. Calumet led all of the first half, but, during the second half, we took the lead and kept it to the finish.

During the last half, Liberty was deprived of the services of its stellar guard. Captain Ed Hoffman, and in spite of good work from the rest of the team. Dyer came back ami forced the game into an overtime period. WASHINGTON—January 4, 1921) Girls—Washington, 21 ; Liberty, 15. On their home floor, the Washington girls proved their mettle and out scored Liberty by the aid of excellent forwards. I Joys—Washington, 21 ; Liberty, 29. We became twice as determined when the girls lost, but started in the usual way. trailing, 10 to 12, at the half. Then Smcdman clipped the net three times in the first few minutes of play and from then on it was a toss-up between Smedman and Figolah for scoring honors. Washington was powerless to check the comeback and thus lost by a greater score than before. DVKK—January 11, 1929 Girls—Dyer, 7; Liberty, 14. This was just as easy a victory for Liberty as the previous game. Hoys—Dyer, 25; Liberty, 27. Dyer played its regular last-minute rally game, but Liberty was strong enough to win. After trailing for three quarters, Liberty took the lead with an under the basket shot from Olson. (TIESTERTON—January 12, 1929 Chesterton Freshmen. 9; Liberty Seconds, 18. Liberty’s second team demonstrated their ability by defeating Chesterton’s Freshmen. Our boys handled themselves like veterans, though it was their first game. Chesterton Seconds, 17; Liberty, 16. This was a good game, especially in the second half. Smedman was the high point man here. GRIFFITH—January 18, 1929 Girls—Griffith. 35; Liberty, 4. Liberty tried her best to overcome the stronger foe, but Griffith soon pulled away to a lead, which she kept to the finish. Hoys—Griffith, 31 ; Liberty, 19. Liberty remained within a few points of Griffith until near the end, when Griffith pulled ahead and the gun barked out a message of defeat. CHISM AN—February 2. 1929 Girls—Crisman, 28; Liberty. 8. Crisman girls were confident after their good work at tin tournament, but met much stiffer opposition than they had expected. Boys—Crisman, 24: Liberty, 23. Crisman and Liberty are friendly rivals, but this game was a hard-fought contest. Crisman led in the first half, but Liberty came back and had a point lead. Then Crisman’s guard slipped one through past the center and a second later the game ended. HEBRON—February 8, 1929 Girls—Hebron, 4; Liberty, 8. Although our girls had been defeated by Hebron at the tourna- ment, they were determined to turn the tables. This game was marked by brilliant playing by the guards of both teams.

Those from Liberty were joined by Frances Hoffman and Herman Neuliep from Crocker, Earl, Merle and Carroll Hanrahan and Evelyn Skoronski from Phares, and Margaret Hineline, Iris Thomas and Barbara Lind from Linderman. The first week we found our places in the middle room on the west corridor and met MV. Glass, our teacher. During the third week of school, we attended the Porter County Fair and watched Earl Hanrahan win a prize in the pony nice. In the fourth week, we welcomed Verna Herring from Crisman, and on November 21, Donald Babcock. Our total was now twenty-three pupils On November 6, when our new school was dedicated, our girls served at the oyster supper. In November, we started our music classes. During that month we also organized our class club, tbe “Junior Citizens' Club.” We publish a school paper once a week, calling it the “Liberty News.” Our Christmas party was given by the teachers, who treated us to oranges and Eskimo pies. On Lincoln's birthday, our teacher read to us about Lincoln. We had a Valentine party with a Valentine box. The girls made candy and the boys brought fruit and we all played games. Four of us—Edna Johnson, Rosalie I)au, Kenneth Hyden and Leonard Sanders—have been together from the First Grade on. Our Eighth Grade year has been enjoyable and we hope that everyone will climb the hill of examinations, that we may all return as Freshmen in September, 1929. — EDNA JOHNSON, HELEN DALY. ------------o------------ Enid: “Oh, say! I've got an idea!” Emamtal: “Keep it, it's in a strange place.” HE Seventh and Eighth. Grade boys organized a basket- ball team as soon as our gym was finished. The men on the first team are: Earl Hanrahan, left forward; Austin Hall, right forward; Leonard Sanders, center; Donald Babcock, running guard; La Verne Blackman, rear guard and captain; James Lynch, first substitute. The second team are as follows: Carroll Hanrahan. captain and left forward; Glenn Walters, right forward; Harold Esserman. center; Henry Biggs, running guard; Gerald Jadesberg. rear guard: Leslie Esserman and Wesley Babcock, substitutes. Our first game was with Washington at Liberty, a 21 to . defeat, on November 16. The next game was with Chesterton at Liberty, on December 7. We were defeated, 9 to 22. We realized that we lacked practice, teamwork and size. Another long period of practice preceded our game with Washington at Washington, January 4. We were defeated, 5 to 11. in a fast contest—our first game away from home. On January 28. we used two high school boys. Paul Hoffman and John Oreskovich in our game with Chesterton at Chesterton. The score was 12 to 12: we had to play two overtime periods. February 2. the Freshmen defeated us 21 to 20. Three days later our new suits, plain white uniforms, came. We played Jackson on the home floor, February 8, again using high school boys. We were defeated 11 to 16. Cook's Corners defeated us twice also: 1J to 14 on their floor, and 6 to 15 on ours. The second team had their first game the latter date, being losers with a 7 to 4 score. The Eighth Grade and Freshie girls played East Gary; the score was 33 to 3 in Liberty 's favor. We are becoming much more interested in basketball, because the ones who get ninety per cent or more in all their studies and who don't go below eighty in any, get an extra twenty-minute gym period. This not only increases practice, but encourages us to keep up our grades. — EARL HANRAHAN, DON BABCOCK.

The first month was a regular battle to see whether or not we could hear ourselves speak, for it was difficult to compete with the clatter and clang of the furnace men, carpenters, electricians and various other laborers. Thirty-six of us started school, but John Reed, Edmond Tratebas. Wayne McCorkel and Lawrence Stewart left us during the year. In March, Carl Reynolds and Dwight Spencer enrolled in our school. John, Wayne and Lawrence left us without any previous notice of departure. Edmond told us he was leaving, so we had a farewell party. We bought the hook, “We,” for him, because Lindbergh is our hero. Edmond can’t forget us, because we wrote our names on the first page. Much interest is being shown in the Pest Contest. It begins to look like Earl's side will win. We re hoping Leonard’s side will give us a substantial treat. Our “Midget” was absent the day the pictures were taken for the annual. He hurt his hand quite seriously. Marie says that curious little boys always get into trouble. We enjoyed several parties during the year. At Christmas time, we reverted to the old-time custom of having Santa visit us. He delivered gifts, fruit and Eskimo pies. On St. Valentine’s Day, Miss Ilockelberg told us to march downstairs and take the place marked out for us. Imagine the cry of horror that arose, when each boy found himself placed between two girls! They thought Miss Ilockelberg was the guilty one, but how about the Seventh Grade girls, who were downstairs preparing the cocoa, cake ami candy f When ordinary school days go and come, We have loads and loads of fun; But when examination day draws near, We begin to live in doubt and fear. Nevertheless, we hope that we ll all pass, And make a brilliant Seventh or Eighth Grade class. For when it actually comes to studying hard, Well—just take a glimpse at each report card! —PUPILS OF GRADES SIX AND SEVEN.

The children were bashful and a little afraid, so we made a kindergarten out ot it at first. Soon all were taking part and began to love school. By October, we had progressed enough in Rhythm and Singing to invite the mothers to come to our Hallowe’en party, and we entertained them with songs and clapping to music, which we then called our “orchestra.” Our room was lighted only by many jack-o-lanterns, which the children had brought, and after the program, the little orange cups, which we had made the day before, were brought in full of orange and black candy. Our Christmas program was a success and our room helped by singing, “Up On The House Top,” and several of us spoke pieces. In our room the last school day before Christmas, we had a nice little Christmas tree, and when we came back from recess, we were surprised to see that Santa Claus had been here and left presents tied in pretty paper and ribbon. Miss Bartholomew received some lovely presents from the girls and boys, and we were all happy with ours. From Christmas on, we had to begin real hard work on out- numbers and reading, but Valentine s Day was another lot of fun and surprise. We had a large, round Valentine box with a large red bow around the center. By Valentine afternoon, the box was so full we could hardly get another one in. Everyone got so many Valentines, and Miss Bartholomew had more than she could carry home. There was a surprise of red heart candies in a Valentine napkin. Easter was lots of fun, too, when we hunted for eggs, which the Easter bunny had hidden, and pinned the tail on the Easter rabbit on the board. All will be anxious to return next year, as they really that they belong in school by now. feel EPTEMBER 10. 1928, found us eager for the first tap of the bell. Our room was so crowded the first day, that some of us had to stand in a line along the wall. On the second day, there were seats enough for all. So many new faces this year! Boys and girls came from every part of the township. We learned to know each other and were soon working hard. Our first social event of the year was a Hallowe’en party. Out- darkened room was lighted only by the lights of the pumpkin faces and made joyous by the laughter of the merry boys and girls. After playing games, we removed our “funny faces” and enjoyed a delectable luncheon. Our first appearance before the public was at Christmas time. We had some good times practicing our parts. We did our very best and hope our fathers and mothers enjoyed our program. We all had a very nice time at our Valentine party. Katherine Wheeler was the lucky one to carry home the pretty Valentine box. At our Easter party, our room was beautifully decorated with rabbits and Easter lilies. We took great pride in making our deco- rations. We had a happy time looking for Easter eggs, that were hidden in the room. The person who found the most eggs was awarded a pretty rabbit. Now we are interested in a program, which we expect to give at the last 1 T. A. meeting in May. We feel that this year has been a joy to the most of us. For some it has been a year of hard work. Some will have to try the same grade again next year, for we have learned that “if at first we don’t succeed, we try and try again.” —RUBIE ANN HOFFMAN, Teacher. r 11 IT Y - N K i;. iKiurmnir r:!nni:ii� !� iHMPir-ii� i«iiiiH;8!iiiirwa?� wi T II E 1 9 2 ') LIBERTY ECHO 0 F L I B E R T Y T 0 W N SHIP II I G II S C II O O L CHAS.

Seventeen members of the Third Grade then came into our room, and we got along very well together.

Dorrance and Kraft, are sent to the president's office to explain the presence of a stuffed giraffe from the college museum in a tree top on the campus. In the absence of President Fleet more, they are mistaken for the president and the dean by a Freshman girl. Bessie Miller, who comes for advice on her college course. They do not correct the false impression and keep up the ruse when Rachel Cargill, a philanthropic maiden lady, calls to confirm her recent gift to the university. Their joke nearly causes the college to lose this endowment. Officer 806 tries to take Prexy for a ride in the patrol wagon and the complications start a near riot on the campus. Jane, whom Dorrance knows only as a stenographer, is really Prexy’s daughter. She determines to punish the jokers, but relents and saves them when her father would expel them. Miss ( argill forgives Prexy and accepts his hand. Kraft and Bessie decide to study domestic science together and Jane is reconciled to her lover. “Prexv’s Proxy.” -o- “The Adults” The characters of the play are as follows: A soda clerk, Glenn Olson; Horace, the “college freak,” Benton Blackman; Bob Major and Larrv Trent, worldly wise Seniors, Melvin Smedinan and William Figolah; Dorothy Ray and Ruth Procter, Sweet Brier ('ollege girls. Norma Behrendt and Edith Drake; and Beulah, who has an adult mind, Evelyn Lundahl. Bob Major and Larry Trent invite Dorothy Ray and Ruth Procter to the college relay races. On the day of the races, Bob gets a telegram from Dorothy saying that she is forced to bring her cousin, Beulah, with her and asking Bob to get an extra man. Tin- only available one is Horace, a Freshman, whom the boys regard as “rather a freak,” because he never has a date, and doesn’t know how to talk to girls. The girls meet the boys at the college drug store, but Beulah is not with them, for she has been lost in the crowd. They start to the races without her and Horace. Beulah comes to the drug store, where she meets Horace, but they decide not to go to the races. They would rather stay and talk, for they can discuss things the others couldn’t understand. The older quartette seem like mere children to Beulah and Horace, who are “adults and have adult minds.” PAGE FORTY-SEVEN' T HE 1 9 2 9 LI B E R T Y E C H 0 0 P L I B E R T Y T OW N SHIP HIGH S CHOOL HENDERSON Ice Cream Co.

Each player was splendid in his part and showed the effects of Miss Stimson 8 untiring efforts in directing the play. “Oh Kay was. perhaps, one of the most difficult plays ever attempted by any Junior class of this school, but its success was certain. The entire action of the play took place at the Whitman home in the course of one evening. Edith Whitman (( orinne Jacobson was a girl of about nineteen with a vivid imagination and rather emotional nature. Arthur Whitman (Raymond llockelberg), her elder brother, considered his thoughts and decisions as the last word in wisdom. Evelyn Whitman (Berenice Ilalck), mother of Edith and Art, made a dignified head of the household during the long absence of Captain Whitman (George Oreskovich), who was on a sea voyage. When he returned, he found four “Black Terrors' in his home, the family upset, and a detective, Kay Millis (Louella I)au I, in charge. Kav was a girl about Arthur's age, with a dominant, positive personality. The outstanding character parts were “dram and “Cramp Pembroke. Cram (Ruth Biggs) was a fussy, old lady, with a sharp tongue, and she took pills, pills and more pills. Cramp (Victor Miskimins) was a wide-awake, lovable old man. who refused to grow old in spirit. The actors playing the “Black Terrors ' were Jim Haves (Alfred Prentice), Fred Alden (William Martin) ami Alice Borden (Leona llcndcrlong). The real “Black Terror” (Vernon Hineline) was an impressive mail of about forty. One who deserves great praise is the business manager and property man. Frank Lind. Much of the success of “Oh Kay was due to his efforts. -o- Willie (translating German): “Wares. What are wares? Mrs. Bockelmann: “Why, you know—crockery ware, wooden ware, hardware, etc.” Willie: “And — underwear!” PACK i � KTY-NINK T II E IllliHIliW MM I 1929 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY T OWN8H1 P II I G H S C H 0 0 L llffltt I liaiuitlillllliMIIIRUilHVIllllilllUiil: NIVIIIWBiail F.

The first boys game was between the Seniors and Juniors. All four Senior boys were members of the school first squad. They played five Juniors and eliminated them by a score of 47 to 15. The Eighth Graders, having defeated the Seventh Graders, came up against the Freshmen and were beaten. 35 to 10. Then the Sophomores gave the Freshmen a taste of defeat in a game with the points 29 to 16 in the Sophomores favor. The final and most thrilling game was played between the Seniors ami the Sophomores. The Seniors again used only their own four men. but this time they were defeated, 2d to 24. So Sophomore boys are the school “champs.’ Anxious to settle the argument over second place, the Juniors challenged the hreshies and won a 12 to 5 decision. The girls’ rivalry was more |uickly settled. The Eighth Grade girls proved they were not weaker than the Seventh Graders bv a 16 to 0 victory. Then the Eighth Ormleni were victims of the Freshman girls by a 31 to 14 score. Finally the gnls of tin tl.ree upper classes played the Freshman girls—victory coming a second time to the Freshies, ‘20 to 12 being the final count. Accord- ingly, the Freshman girls are class “champs m the feminine aggregations. _______—------------- Miss Stimson: “The Mohammedans used to spread then- religion bv the sword.

Each class gathered as a group to cheer for its entries in the various events, colored ribbons began to flutter from the coat lapels of champions, and balloons lloated here and there. I he pop-dunking contest was not so easy as it sounded tor the bottles were equipped with nipples; sitting lengthwise of a rolling barrel made writing crazily difficult, and the hammers were a collection worthy of a museum! What sweet revenge it was to see teachers dignity abandoned for once as our pedagogues, with hands behind their hacks adorned their countenances with blueberries and pastry. But Mr. Carlson returned the indignity when the blindfolded student counciltnen were forced to feed one another bananas. The Seniors were found to have the most points and tlie Sophomores the second largest number, and both classes were soon regaling their friends with chocolates from the prize boxes. Lines were formed to the kitchen, where the teachers served ice cream sandwiches as their treat. Each teacher was remembered with an appropriate and beautiful gift, and all rushed to the busses and interurban wishing one another a Merry Christmas.

Bovs—Hebron, 21; Liberty, 17. Liberty tried again and again to drive through Hebron’s defense. Figolah led as high-point man, with a brilliant display of under the basket shooting. Hebron scored mostly on long distance shots.

Finally, Lester decided to tell “the simple, the beautiful, the preposterous truth.” As a result, the real Amy Clayton was reconciled to Dick Morrow and Laurette forgives her husband. Then Sidney Squeers and Gertie entered in triumph, announcing their marriage. So the “deep sea bathing beauty” was still one of the familv. “Amy From Arizona” was a distinct success. A large and appreciative audience applauded the clever lines and the faithful and spirited delineation of the parts by the members of the cast. -------------o------------- SENIORS’ PROGRESS (Continued from Page Seven) they journeyed, they passed through Vanity Fair, whose people gave plays to divert their minds. But they stayed only long enough to see “Amv from Arizona,” “The Adults,” and “Prexy's Proxy.” Then they pressed on toward the River of Graduation. But one night could they linger in the Glory of Class Night, before they entered the Land of Alumni. Having arrived there, some were seen entering the City of Fame, while most of them resorted to the Fields of Hard Work. Thus the seven pilgrims concluded their four years’ journey in May, 1929. — EVELYN LUNDAHL. ----------o-------- DOES AMBITION PAY!
