SAYERS English, Mathematics THE 1 9 3 0 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL THE GRADUATES WILLIAM MARTIN Hugh Covington—“Tea for Tom.” Willie is our Senior Class President, and his greatest delight is making speeches in public. His experience in office holding and his forensic ability will undoubtedly lead him into the political arena. VERNON HINELINE Stanley Johnson—“Tea for Tom.” In spite of Vernie’s good health he has submitted to writing the Class Will. He is one of the most ac- tive persons in the class, outstanding in basketball and a member of the baseball team. RAYMOND HOCKELBERG Lester Brown—“Tea for Tom.” On account of his ability to make wise cracks he has been appointed Class Statistician. In spite of all his school work, Ray has been prominent in basketball and baseball. CORINNE JACOBSON Alice Covington—“Tea for Tom.” Corinne is the shortest one in the Senior class, but also the cutest. She will deliver the Salutatory, Class Night. She has the swiftest fingers on the typewriter keys and also the quickest tongue in repartee. LOUELLA DAU Ruth Arnold—“Tea for Tom.” “Lou has all the pep and spirit that usually ac- company auburn hair. As Freshman and Senior she has written our Class History. As to her fu- ture—well, we have our suspicions but she won’t tell. RUTH BIGGS Mrs. Linder—“Tea for Tom.” Through the darker hours of high school, Ruth has always managed to be jolly. She shows ability in music, which she will use as her contribution for Class Night. She is also the Class Snapshot Editor. f I PAGE SIX ECHO OF LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL THE 1930 LIBERTY THE GRADUATES VICTOR MISK1M1NS Tom Boxwell—“Tea for “Tom.” Vic has not gone in for Athletics but has excel- led in Dramatics. He has been a staunch supporter of the class. No doubt he will do well as a Prophet, Class Night. Here’s wishing him a prominent role in the drama of life! GEORGE ORESKOVICH Pickleman—“Sehwartzbrot and Pickleman.” George has a will all of his own and a determina- tion to succeed. By unanimous vote he has been chosen as “Giver of Gifts” for Class Night. He is a fellow whom we believe to be immune to the charm of our co-eds. FRANCIS WRIGHT (Center) Although Francis has been with us only a short time, she is going to be our Class Song-Writer. Be- fore coming here she studied Home Economics, and before long we are sure she will be using it to an advantage. LEONA HENDERLONG Thelma Oakes—“Tea for Tom.” “Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” Though sincere in her studies, she has had time to play basketball, write the Class Poem and be Vice-President. After leaving us she plans on becoming a nurse. FRANK LIND Pete Kirby—“Tea for Tom.” Abie is a man of affairs, Yell-leader, Class Co- prophet, and Secretary, too. He takes life easy and gets a lot of enjoyment out of it as he goes along. Abie’s favorite pastime is his Ford and the collec- tion of nick names (Kartoffel-fresser for example.) ALFRED PRENTICE Sehwartzbrot— “Sehwartzbrot and Pickleman.” Alfred, better known to us as “Prentie”, is the pep around the Physics Lab. His motto is “never let your studies interfere with your pleasure.” His chief interest is his airplane with which we wish him success. BERNEICE HALCK Mrs. Covington—“Tea for Tom.” “Bonnie” has always been dignified in manner and dainty in dress. She has already shown her ability as teacher by substituting in the lower grades. Her interest in the younger pupils will be shown when she delivers a “Charge to the Under-graduates” on Class Night. Will her school be a class of one? PAGE SEVEN THE 1 9 3 0 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS HISTORY “OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF DIFFICULTY E were fifteen curious and eager persons who seated ourselves at Liberty Center, one morning in Sep- tember 1926, in a 1930 model of the Toonerville Trolley. As we started out the tasks of high school loomed before us a huge, dark, dusky mass, as do the Appalachian Mountains at first sight. A narrow road lead to this range, the Mountains of Difficulty. Questions arose in our minds: Where does this road end? Should we turn around and go back? But as we journeyed on through the mountains of Algebra, English, Latin, and Civics we found that the road lead on up and through these mountains. We found so many things of interest, we made up our minds that we could not possibly turn back. At the dawn of the second day our road led through a sec- ond mountain chain. Three of our companions had grown weary of the journey, either the monotony of the scenery or the jolting of tho almost springless car got the best of them. As we looked back at them we saw the sun rising over the distant hills and the mist beginning to clear away. Why was it clear- ing away? Simply because we had traveled through the moun- tains of Caesar, English, History, and Geometry. At the beginning of the third day, Louella Dau transferred from the New Jersey bus back to the Liberty Center line. Arithmetic and Solid Geometry gave us quite a few jolts and caused considerable shifting. But in spite of it all we descended the third mountain chain at the end of that day. Here we stopp- ed so the skipper could repair our car. We all got out our note books and made a record of the events and took some pictures. These were published in the Liberty Echo of 1929 which we distributed among our friends. In descending on the fourth day we found the road quite narrow. At times it seemed as though our car was going to roll over the embankment, especially when we got the results of our Physics exams. But Bookkeeping and Typing gave us new courage again. Another member has been added to our crowd and it seems our journey will soon be ended. Perhaps it is a good thing because the boys of our crowd say our car is in a bad condition. They claim it is all due to the girls, who do not leave all the management of our car to the skipper, but have become six excellent back seat drivers. We are very near our destina- tion, the city of Commencement. We can see it outlined against the sky in the distance. Our car will soon pull up to the wharf against which beat the waves of the sea of life. —Louella Dau THE 1930 LIBERTY ECHO OE LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL TOONERVILLE TROLLEY 1930 MODEL —By George Oreskovich rAGE NINE ■ THE 1930 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL JOHN ORESKOVICH “A sunny disposition is half the battle.” Class Vice-President.

PAGE ELEVEN JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY HE juniors have had an active class this year, start- ing out with seven boys and one' girl. Soon after there were two girls as Eda Johnson decided school was the best place to be. The second semester Harry Arvin from the Fair Oaks school joined the class. Then Frances Wright and William Figolah came and took Solid Geometry with us. The class subjects are: History, English, Bookkeeping, German, Algebra, and Solid Geometry. In early October the annual board and class officers were elected. The class officers elected were: Emanual Novreske, President; John Oreskovich, Vice President; Clarice Bloom, Secretary and Treasurer. On October eighth the Juniors handed the Seniors the fol- lowing : “We, the undersigned powerful and mighty class of 31, do hereby issue to you this challenge: “Read, digest, heed, and answer within thirty-one hours, thirty-one minutes, and thirty-one seconds this, our ultimatum, or be forever branded as cowards, vagabonds, and snakes in the grass. “On the seventeenth day of October you shall, as a class, and, in a body, and wearing your dizzy class sweaters leave this building at 3:31 and seek for yourselves a suitable hiding place on the estate of the parents of anyone of your pusillanimous number. We, the class of 31, do hereby assert that we will find you and report the fact to Mrs. Bockelmann at the school before 6 P. M. the same day. But if you shall be unfound by five four- teen plus thirty-one minutes, you may return to the school to re- port and so be declared victor of the first Junior-Senior Hunt at Liberty Center High. Signed, sealed and delivered this eighth day of October, nineteen hundred twenty-nine.” Duke Breezy Freak Lockinvar Samantha Chubbs Beans die Slim Serb The challenge was accepted, but the hunt was postponed to the twenty-eighth on account of the weather conditions. Even though we lost, our appetites were not failing when we came back to enjoy supper together. The Freshmen and Juniors were the losers in the annual selling contest. We planned and prepared the banquet for the winners. The banquet proved our girls good cooks and our boys fine decorators—as for eloquence, you should have heard our class president as toastmaster! The class play has been a puzzle all year to the class and Mrs. Bockelmann. We have only two girls, so it has been diffi- cult to find a play fitted for characters. We picked out “Miss Patricia,” a farce comedy which, judging by our work as dra- matists last year, will be a success. As a; whole the class has had a very pleasant and helpful year together with the teachers. We hope that by the end of next year, the same group will receive diplomas from the great school of Liberty Center. —Clarice Bloom ) PAGE TWELVE THE 1930 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL PAG E THIRTEEN THE 1930 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL ELMER JOHNSON (Vice-President) “Elm” “From the crown of his head, to the sole of his feet he is all worth.” Boys’ Glee Club.

PAGE SEVENTEEN THE 1930 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL SOME SOPHS PAGE EIGHTEEN THE 1 9 3 0 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORE T the beginning of the school year ’28-'29, thirty Freshmen began attending high school at Liberty Center. Being timid (as most Freshmen are who begin High School) we allowed the upper classmen to heap indignities upon us during our first few days there. After a time, however, we realized we represented a good half of the high school's strength, and we then began re- turning their taunts. Realizing that we knew our own strength, they allowed us to go on our way unmolested. After struggling valiantly with Citizenship, Algebra, English, and Latin or Arith- metic for half a year, most of us managed to win the decisive battle at Midyear Exams. During the second phase of our lives as Freshmen Henry BranofF and Henry Hockelberg withdrew from our class, but we were fortunate in receiving Marian Reynolds and John Brad- dock, “The Great Indian Killer, in return for them. The inter- class basketball tournament came in March. Our boys' class CLASS HISTORY team was defeated, but our girls whipped the best team that the whole senior high school could muster against them. Later we were pitted against the senior high in an annual selling contest. We won and they gave a banquet in our honor. After the final exams, we finished our lives as Freshmen by attending the annual picnic on the last day of school at Lake Michigan. When we returned to school as Sophomores we learned that Helen Esserman and Gordon Firebaugh had deserted us. Since we were no longer Freshmen, we soon developed a swagger that would do credit to any Senior. Soon after school began Dorothy Neuliep left us but we gained two new classmen in Leonard Williams and Wallace Brainard. At the end of our first semester Leonard left us to go to Valparaiso. Later we helped the Seniors beat the Juniors and Freshmen in the yearly annual selling contest. We are now looking eagerly toward the final exams. —Marion Hineline JOKES Avis: “We won’t get diphtheria. Mrs. Bockelmann: “Why not? Avis: “Because everyone in our family has been intoxi- cated.

As we passed into high school classes On that memorable date, We all had a great longing To return to old grade eight. When we walked about the rooms and halls To find our places there, We were subjected on every side To haughty Seniors frigid stares. But now in this dear old school of ours We are the mighty class of Freshmen bold. Who study their lessons for many hours And dig for the “nuggets of gold. We have Algebra, Biology and English, Fourteen study Civics, and ten study Latin, And we all have a very great wish That in each our grades will be above “passin.” Our girls are good in basketball; Although some persons call us green, Yet more of us than any other class In every game were seen. We Freshmen turned pirates one night We sang of “The Locker of Davy Jones, While the boys with knives, guns, and cutlasses Sought the great treasure of “Billy Bones. We are blest with five mighty good teachers Both in assembly and in recitation. Stimson, Bockelmann, Lowry. Glass, Sayers And Bowman, each take a turn at our education. So here’s health to my classmates dear: May they live long and conquer, May we all finish our course in thirty-three, And none of us be a “flunker! —Helen Daly JOKES Mrs. Sayers: “Give the principal parts of think.

PAGE T W E N T Y-S I X THE 1 9 3 0 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL CONTEST AND BANQUET HIS year the high school was divided into two groups for the selling of annuals. The Sophomores and Seniors were captained by Elestor McGolerick and Lois Hall and the Freshmen and Juniors by John and Anna Oreskovich. The “Tarzans” had the lead for so long, the results of the contest were a big surprise to them. But they took their defeat philosophically and planned the banquet with enthusiasm. On March 4 the high school marched into a dining room tastefully decorated with orange and blue. After the laughter and confusion of finding their names on the pretty menu cards which the freshman girls had made, all seated themselves to do justice to the delicious meal provided. The eighth grade girls served with skill and promptness. The menu was as follows: Chicken Patties Escalloped Potatoes Rolls Pickles Delmonico Salad Tutti Frutti Ice Cream Cup Cakes Cocoa or Coffee The “intellectual meal” followed under the able guidance of Emanual Novreske, toastmaster. The titles of the toasts followed the general idea of an auto itinerary and were: 1 Our Car .........................Frank Lind 2 Our Chauffeurs .............Wallace Johnson 3 We're Off ..................Caroll Hanrahan 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Scenes Along the Road ...............Mr. Glass Hot Dogs ....................................Ed Hoffman A Dangerous Curve ................Robert Olson Back Seat Drivers .............La Mae Blackman Flat Tires ..................Elestor McGolerick Stop, Change, Go ................Clarice Bloom Traffic Jams ......................Viola Oaden Ethyl Gas ........................Miss Stimson Snow Bound ....................John Oreskovich Detours .......................Ray Hockelberg Stop for Gas ........................Mr. Lowry Four Wheel Brakes................Elmer Johnson Spark Plugs ......................Anna Johnson Stuck in the Mud ..........................Edna Franzson One Hand Driving ...............Vernon Hineline Skids ..........................Herman Schmidt Bill Boards .............................Victor Miskimins Highway Police ....................Eda Johnson Over the Mountains of Difficulty ..Louella Dau Time to Retire ......................Wm.

Every boy desires to be physically fit. Coach Lowry deserves recognition for his faithful work with the boys that came out for athletics. When Mr. Lowry called for volunteers for basketball, sev- enteen sturdy lads reported. Many of the spectators thought Liberty wouldn’t have a team this year for four of the regulars were lost by graduation last May. But this year’s team gave good account of themselves, winning eighteen games and losing five. Two of the live defeats were on the home floor and we had no return game with either team. The other three games lost were balanced by victories over those respective rivals later in the season. The Liberty boys lost a hard fought game to Chesterton in the tournament, the score at the half being six to one in favor of Chesterton. But in the second half the blue and orange came back strong, making six points and allowing their opponents only three. Liberty had tough luck on their shots, missing many set ups. The end of the season was a series of victories in the last eight scheduled games. Most of the girls’ basketball team are Freshmen and Sopho- mores and inexperienced. Although they won only five games and tied one, they played many hard, good games with oppo- nents that outclassed them in every respect. They held their own much better in the tournament than was expected, keep- ing the score with Crisman low. Only three points were be- tween the contestants when time was up. We lose none of our girls by graduation so our team will be composed of the same members next year. But the past years coaching and exped- ience should make them a much faster and more accurate ag- gregation in 1930. BASEBALL, 1929-1930 HE baseball team at Liberty Center was going great last fall, winning five out of six games scheduled. Chesterton was the only school that offered us much competition. At the game with Crisman the the Liberty Blue Bells nosed out a seven to six vic- tory that was exciting. At the last of the seventh inning the score was six to four in favor of Crisman. 1 hen two runnels crossed the plate making the count six to six with Hoffman on third. Nicholson of Crisman “pulled a boner,” giving Ed Hoff- man a chance to steal home. Liberty is the winner of the Porter County Championship in the Lake-Porter Conference. We will play Dyer for the conference trophy this spring.

PROGRAM. MARCH 14 Friday evening, March 14, the pupils in the new school gave the program for the P. T. A. The numbers were, for the most part, excerpts from the daily activities of the pupils and teachers. The commercial department opened the entertainment by two typing demonstrations by the Seniors. The first “alphabet dance was given with the accompaniment of rhythm, the sec- ond revealed the situation among a bevy of “flapper stenogs where the boss is out. The Freshman English class had been reading “Treasure Island and had dramatized portions of it. So, for this occa- sion, the girls sang some pirate songs and the boys acted the portion of that story suggested by the title, “Pieces of Eight. Mr. Lowry's physical education work was illustrated by two numbers. The first was a series of exercises put on by grade boys; the second, a demonstration of methods in basket- ball technique given by the boys of the squad. The German class had written, in a brief skit in German, a story of experiences in a “Deutsche Schule, closing their reci- tations by singing “Die Lorelei. The Senior English class pre- sented the opening fourteen pages of their play, “Tea for Tom. The Boys' Glee Club had prepared a black-face minstrel, “I Is Regusted, which was the hit of the evening. Finally, the Junior High sewing class appeared with can- dles and wearing garments of their own handiwork, “Styles of the Latest Hour,' and sang, “Good Night, Ladies. All agreed that the people in the new building had offered them a profitable and enjoyable evening.

Circum- stances directed suspicion upon Pat Sullivan (John Oreskovich), an acquaintance. Unable to clear himself, Pat took refuge in the home of his aunt, Mrs. Willis (Clarice Bloom). Mrs. Willis hid him by simply disguising him as a girl and introducing him as Miss Patricia Sullivan, a girl who had befriended her in the west the previous summer. Phil, the butler (Robert Babcock), was the only one in the household in on the secret. Detectives Patterson (Franklin Peek) and Spatts (Eman- ual Novreske) arrived to watch the house and catch Pat if he should appear. Mr. Willis (Norval Hydene) and Pat’s father (Robert Olson) feared his disappearance was a confession of guilt. Ruth Elliott (Eda Johnson), who was tactily engaged to Pat, came to stay at the Willis home and became so fond of the new friend that she revealed to her (and him) all her girlish secrets. Wade Stanley (Edward Hoffman), whom Pat had every reason to suspect was the real murderer, came to the Willis home with other guests. He fell in love with the pseudo—Patri- cia and confided to her (or him) that he had a guilty secret. He admitted that he had let suspicion rest on Pat Sullivan to direct notice from his own complicity in the unpleasantness which had culminated in murder. Patricia induced him to make a confes- sion of his guilt. But as he explained to the detectives just how the murder happened it became evident to all that the other occupant of the darkened room, Rodney’s disgruntled valet, must have been the one guilty. That supposition was established as truth by the discovery of the wounded servant who confessed the crime. Patricia, having now no further reason to continue the mas- querade, revealed her (or rather his) real identity and Ruth found that her new girl friend was really her lover. Wade Stanley found himself free of a burden of guilt but defrauded of the girl (?) he had hoped to make his wife. The story was full of comic situations as a result of the dou- ble identity of Patricia and the droll mistakes of the would-be detective, Spatts. You can always tell a Senior In his red sweater dressed; You can always tell a Sophomore, By the way he swells his chest. You can always tell a Junior, By his studious looks and such; You can always tell a Freshman— But you cannot tell him much. PAGE THIRTY-SEVEN THE 1930 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY 'TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL THE SENIOR PLAY HE Seniors presented “Tea for Tom” to an apprecia- tive audience Wednesday evening, April 16. The play was effectively cast, and each player made the most of his part. Abundant humor was provided by a deaf woman continually misunderstanding, a badly henpecked husband, a persistent bachelor, an unsophisti- cated bride and a ruralite who thought he was a detective. The cast enjoyed giving the play and the audience surely enjoyed its presentation. “Tea for Tom” is an amusing three act comedy which has its setting at a mountain hotel, “Pine Crest Inn”. To this place have come Alice Covington and her friend, Ruth Arnold. Alice had tired of having all her decisions made for her by her par- ents, and, when they picked out a husband too, she rebelled. She came to this out of the way resort for a rest and to escape her mother’s ceaseless praises of Stanley Johnson. But Stanley Johnson had developed as strong an antipathy for Alice because of his father’s and uncle’s insistance on the match. For a year the young couple successfully avoided a meeting but finally Fate took a hand. Quite by chance, Stanley and his friend, Tom Boxwell, came to Pine Crest Inn. The deafness of the proprietress, Mrs. Linder, caused a confusion of their names which Stanley refus- ed to explain when he discovered the presence in the hotel of the girl he had been trying to evade. But Alice had hit upon the same device and had exchanged names with Ruth, a ruse made possible by Mrs. Linder’s confusion as to their identities. So Stanley Johnson met, loved, and courted the girl of his choice (but under an assumed name), while Alice Covington respond- ed happily to his advances, never dreaming that her lover was the man she had refused to know. But Thelma Oakes had overheard enough conversation between Stanley and Tom to realize that they were not using their own names, and revealed the news to a deputy sheriff look- ing for some bank bandits. Stanley attempted to excuse their odd actions by claiming that Tom was a psycopathic patient, who needed liberal quantities of tea to keep him normal. Ruth and Tom soon discovered the double impersonation and their friendship culminated in engagement. They waited in glee for the climax when Stanley and Alice should realize that they had unwittingly fulfilled their parents’ wishes. The persistance of Pete Kirby broke down Mrs. Linder’s determination not to mar- ry again. When Mrs. Covington and her obedient Hugh arrived, the truth came out and everyone was happy.

PAGE FORTY-TWO THE 1930 LIBERTY ECHO OF LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL CLASS HISTORY OF GRADE EIGHT CLASS HISTORY OF GRADE SEVEN E, the Eighth Graders nineteen in number, started to W school on September 2, 1929. We kept the same TXT w number throughout the year until February, when V William Arvin was enrolled in the class. The girls of our class are known as “The Big Four”. We stand sixteen to four instead of “sixteen to one.” We have had three new subjects, namely: Physical Educa- tion, Manual Training, and General Science. We enjoyed very much our classes in Physical Education, although we have been put through some mighty “tough, rough, but they never get enough exercises.” There is a general rush for the Manual Training class, which proves the popularity of the work. Scrub- bing the gymnasium, which isn’t so pleasant, seems to be a spe- cial type of Manual Training to be avoided as much as possible. In General Science we learned that man is not the only wonder- ful creature of this earth. We have also learned that Grammar is something to be used, moreover while History was repeating itself, the three R’s came in for their share of close study. At the first of the year we were very much at a loss in re- gard to our different recitation rooms, our assembly periods, and the number of books to carry with us from one room to another. We were never Junior High pupils before. However that phase of our education has now become so much a part of us, that we are able to travel the halls, keep to our own side, and study in the Assembly Room without fear or curiosity. We planned to have a party on Hallowe’en but diphtheria germs stopped us. Wc planned another party for Christmas but the Snow King hindered us. At last we had a Valentine party, with our Valentine box, and a delicious dinner which was a surprise on the boys. We hope to have enough of this thing called education to en- able us to pass the test at the end of the year, and to enroll us in the Freshman Class of 1930. 3 HEN we started to school on September 2, 1929, we were very much like the “Babes in the Woods.” We didn’t understand when and where to go, nor what to do when we got there. It was all so new to be Junior High pupils. It was very difficult to study in other rooms than our home room. We were accustomed to have recess, now we had none. We didn’t like it at first but we have learned to get along very nicely with a few minutes pass- ing time. There were twenty of us last September. Victor Crum left us first, then Goldie Braddock moved away. At Christmas time Arne Kargaard was promoted to Grade Eight, then Dwight Spencer moved away. Later Marian Arvin joined us, making our number seventeen. We had five teachers, three of whom were new. We had classes in Manual Training and Physical Education, which were new to us. The girls learned to cook and to sew. We have had our share of Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. We have become acquainted with the noted people in our History. In Grammar, we have learned that there is a right and a wrong way of speaking, and we have tried to use the right way. We planned several parties, but the “Black Cat” must have crossed our path, for we were disappointed until Valentine Day. At that time the boys of the class were pleasantly surprised by the girls and we had a very enjoyable party. The boys made a Bulletin Board for our home room and it has been very helpful, also very interesting. We lately have made a series of health posters also a series of courtesy posters for our room. We have a committee of two appointed each week, whose duty is to take charge of our room library. We have been happy in our work and hope to be members of Grade Eight next year.

Miss Hoffman’s second grade numbered twenty-six, and the third grade of twenty-six pupils was grouped under the direction of Miss Hockelberg. The upper three grades, totaling sixty-eight, were placed together, with Miss Nuss teaching Arithmetic, Geography, Reading and Writing, and Mrs. Firebaugh, History, English, Health and Spelling. The old “assembly” and “room B” proved very cramped quarters for such a crowd, and that congestion has made the work of those teachers difficult. During the year the following pupils were transferred to Liberty grades from other schools: Edna and Roy Arvin, Lucille Brandt, Mary Giblin, Bertha and Martha Mackey, and Sara, Alice, Margery and Beatrice Wright. Those leaving us for other schools were: Francis and Willie Bradack, Vada, Thelma, and Lillie Leftler, Denver Crum, Ruth Chambers, Leona and Kenneth Spencer, June, John, and Charlotte Thomas. The year will be especially remembered for the great snow storm of December 18, when the pupils on Mr. Benke’s route were marooned at school for twenty-four hours. Another bliz- zard that tied up transportation to school came March 25, after we had been interested in marbles and kites. Another outstand- ing event of the year was the diphtheria epidemic which kept Miss Hoffman out of school seven weeks and reduced our attend- ance fifty per cent for some time. All rooms enjoyed parties at Halloween and on Valentine’s day. At Thanksgiving the upstairs rooms entertained their parents and the pupils from downstairs with a splendid pro- gram. The program prepared for the December P. T. A. was of course postponed by the blizzard, but given later at the Jan- uary P. T. A. The Christmas parties were also enjoyed in Jan- uary. and the treats so generously provided by the teachers and the P. T. A. were welcomed with enthusiasm. The Sixth Grade Class Club entertained the other pupils in the building on sev- eral other occasions. The sixth graders also managed a candy and hot dog sale at noon, making money for the purchase of a basketball and singing books. During the first semester the following were perfect in at- tendance: Elma and Freddie Esserman, Elinor Dalke, Victor and Robert Firebaugh, Juanita Sanders and John Tratebas.

Illogical isn’t it! That is exactly why the J. C. Penney Com- pany doesn’t offer “specials” or “cut prices” or hold so-called “sales.” Day after day we sell merchandise at the lowest figure con- sistent with market costs, plus a fair charge for distribution and handling. Whenever you buy anything in our store you may be sure of two things: 1. It is priced as low as we can possibly mark it— and our buying resources make this very low indeed. 2. You are paying exactly the same price as your neighbor—no more, no less. TITTLE BROS.
