' p DEDICATION. Here ' s to the man whose motto is Play Square, and who lives up to his motto. Mr. Tinsley, both in his capacity as prin- cipal of the Male High School and as assistant principal of this school, has always been to us a faithful friend and advisor. He has always been one of us; never holding himself aloof, never distant, yet always retaining our deepest respect and confidence. He has ever been ready with a helping hand or a word of encouragement to the fellow who was downhearted and discouraged and we have never found him too busy with his own work to stop and h(dp someone else. N( v(;r forward or overbearing but always carrying himself with a modest, unassinriing manner, Mr. Tinsley has been a fine example to us and wo iiikc, this opportunity of expressing our appreciation for all that he has donc for us and of wishing him all tli(5 joy and success that life can possibly hold for him. S THE time draws near, when we must say good- bj e to the old school, with all that it has meant to us, with the friends we have made here, and with the good times we have had, we begin to realize more fully just what we are leaving and, with that realization, the desire to g et away from the re- straints and so-called hum drum of school life grows less, and we begin to realize that school life is not so bad as it has seemed. We begin to see that the professors are not the overbearing individuals that we had sometimes pictured them; that the tardy room is not such a severe instrument of punishment after all and that the pleasures and enjoyment that we have had here we will not find anywhere else in life to the degree that we have found them here. Along with this comes a feeling of even more weight. We begin to realize the opportunities that we have let slip; oppor- tunities for bettering ourselves and for bettering the school; opportunities that we will never have again and which, but for the thoughtlessness of the moment, we w ould have acted upon. However, the past is past, and we have only the future to think about. What will we do with it? Will we make our lives count for something in the world of tomorrow. Let us hope that every member of this old class, remembering the mistakes and neglected opportunities in these four years of High School life, may, with his face set and eyes fixed on some thing higher and better, seize every opportunity offered, to rise to a high place, to be a power in his community and a benefit to mankind. Guy p. Sanderson President. 8 MlD-YEAR ANNUAL GEORGE M. BAIN. Glee Club ' 15, ' 151 2, ' 16; Basket Ball Sub ' 14, ' 16; Senior Play ' 16; Undergraduate Club ' 15, ' 151 2, ' 16, ' 161 2. Here we have one of the class long boys. When he was a freshman George was about on a par with the rest of us but since that time he has sprung to a height that few of us will ever reach. Bain is a happy-go- lucky sort of chap and if there is any way to get out of some work and he doesn ' t find it there is something wrong. George is also athletically inclined and is some gun at baseball and basket ball. We are also informed that he sometimes shoots a little pool. How about it, George? Taking hini all in all, Bain is a swell fellow and we are all glad to have him in our class. Get a divorce from Lady Fatima, George. W. IMARCUS BAKER. A. L. A. ' I31 2, ' 14, ' I41 2, ' 15, ' I51 2, ' 16, ' I61 2; Lunch house staff ' 15, ' 16; Senior Play; Class Basket Ball ' 15; Secretary Mandolin Club ' 16; Gym leader ' 15, ' 16; Annual Staff; Secretary Agassiz Society ' 14. Here we have the fellow with the unlimited nerve. Anybody that has the nerve to wear a black derby and a high straight collar to the L. B. H. S. has nerve enough to do anything. Bake is one of those fellows who (kjcsn ' t say much as long as things are going along to suit him but when they start the other way, watch out. Bake, like soinc of 1h( rest of us, has fallen for the Hawaiian music, and he spends a good deal of Ills lime willi liis dknlch ' . do I0 i1, l iik ' , we ' re for yon. .Ml: 9 J. EDWARD BARRY. Barry is one of those fellows who, unless you take speeial no- tice, you will not know is around. He has very little to say to anybody but is always ready to do any thing that is asked of him. He is especially gifted with the power to keep still, a power which, alas, many of us lack. But with all his silence Barry is a good fellow and we are all glad to have been in the class with him. THOMAkS beattie. Class basket ball ' 15, ' 16; Debating Club. Here is one of the handsome members of our illustrious class. Tommy is another fellow who doesn ' t care to mix up much in i ' ...... anything that he doesn ' t know anything about, and conse- quent y he keeps out of a lot of - ' ' ' S ' trouble. If it wasn ' t for girls and dances Tommy could easily be a star at lessons but h does . : not like to neglect the ladies, . , . and of course we can ' t blame • ' - ' v him. But even with dances and . • - girls, Tommy always manages • to get on with his lessons, and , that ' s the main thing. 10 MID-YEAR ANNUAL WALTER BODEMAN. Orchestra ' ISVs, ' 16, ' IGVs. Bodemaii is one of the few fellows that Roy Martin doesn ' t know very well. This is because Bodeman is always on time, al- ways brings his locker key and keeps out of trouble, and so, out of the office. Walter is steady in everything and has made himself useful in the orchestra for a couple of years. He is a good scout, and with his quiet, steady ways we are sure he will get there. E. J. BORGEL. Borgel ' s nickname is Whisk- ers. This may seem a queer name for the clean-shaven youth which you see before you, yet the name does fit him. How- ever, if he chooses to grow a beard it ' s his own business and nobody has the right to question it. Seriously, though, Borgel is a good fellow. He never mixes much in school activities but he always keeps his lessons pretty well up, which, by the way, is what some of us come to school for. Here ' s to you, Borgel. If you want to grow that beard do it, but dye it black, it will make you look more distinguished. MID-YEAR MATTHEW BRADY. Orchestra 13, ' 14, ' 15, ' 16. Brady is the guy who brained . the Algebra 3 course under Mr. Hill and lived to tell the tale. He is a conscientious, hard- workirg fellow in everything he undertakes. He has played in the orchestra four years, j ' ' } ' something which few fellows do, and besides this his name is sel- dom absent from the Honor Roll. Brady is a living example of perseverance. Many have fal- len by the wayside but he has stuck with us to the end. If that quality sticks to him in after, life he is certainly assured of success. WADTER BRASHEAR, JR. Sophomore Ex.

Look deep into these eyes and see the intelligence that abounds in such profuse quantities, in the recesses of this master mind. .- . vV,. If you don ' t see it the trouble is with you, for Angel has stored up some knowledge in | the past four years. He is one of the few fellows who didn ' t ' look for easy subjects to get by i on. He really seems to enjoy the hard ones. ' The success of this annual is due in a large part to his untiring efforts, and altogether Angel is a fit person- ' | age to hold first honor of the L. class. 12 WEEDON CARTER. Manual Glee Club ' 14; Glee Club ' 15, ' 16; Annual Staff Artist. Just look at that countenance. Did you ever see anything so divine? They say that Weedon is a lady killer but with that face we don ' t doubt that he could kill anything. But, jok- ing aside, Weedon is all right. He is some artist and here ' s hoping that he draws his salary as well as he draws cartoons. He is Harry Miner ' s only rival when it comes to silence, but he has been moving steadily along towards his goal, graduation, and now that this has been reached we can only wish him success in his next undertaking. 1.:. L i FRANK CASSHjLY Annual Staff. Here is another long shot. They say that smoking will stop a fellow ' s growth but, if it does, it ' s a good thing for Frank, for if he didn ' t smoke we don ' t know where he would grow to. Frank, like some of the rest of us, is not especially fond of work but when he does take a notion to try, he can make things hum. I guess he is just resting now, getting ready for a good hard effort when he gets out of school. He ' s a good fel- low, all right, and is always ready to do something for some- one else. MID-YEAR ANNUAL 13 ALFRED Mitre Club; University Club; C L. CLARK. lass Cheer Leader ' 14 . For reference to this fellow, we would direct you to Mr. Thwiug. Alfred is the apple of Mr. Til wing ' s eye and it is with no little pleasure that he calls him to the board to explain a problem that all the rest of the class has missed. Our only wish is that Alfred may solve the problem of life as well as he handled those of Mr. Thwing. They say that Alfred had such a large appetite, while working on the lunch room staff that Mrs. Cecil paid him to stay away. Don ' t let that worry you, Kid. Here ' s wishing you future success. Hx RRY V. DAVIS, JR. A. L. A. V ; Class basket ball ' IBVa; V ; basket ball squad ' UV2, ' 151 ; Annual Executive Committee; Mandolin Club ' IQV2; Under- graduate Club; Cadet Corps, First Searg. ' 16; Adj. First Bat. ' IQVo. Here we have the man who ' was made famous by the ' 16) Dance or, it would be mgre cor- , rect to say, w ho made the Dance - - y ! $ famous. Harry went about his pF- duties as Chairman of the com- mittee in such a way that many of us did not realize that the success of the dance was due almost altogether to his efforts. We feel that anything that he undertakes will be done w ell, - ' . and we hope that hereafter he ; will get more credit for his ef- : | forts than we have given him. . r-j mB ' 14 CARL DICKSTEIN. Another of our studious class mates. Dickstein ' s name is ab- sent from the rolls of many of our school clubs and organiza- tions but it can be found fre- quently on the Hono r Roll. He is a fellow that the writer knows very little about, but his record speaks well of him, without any extra comment. Good work, Carl. . F. LEMAR DUPREE. A. L. A. ' 15, ' I51 2, ' 16, ' 161, ; lunch room staff; class basket ball ' 16. Dupree has not been with us the whole four years. He joined us in our second year at the ] Iale High School and we have since been thankful to the school that sent him to us. Dups is a steady member of the Athe- naeum and we have it from a pretty reliable source that he has an offer of a position sling- ing soup at Child ' s restaurant as soon as he graduates. Dups is a good student, a good fellow, and a hard worker. He is one of the kind that the school misses wlieu tliey are gone. MID-YEAR ANNUAL 15 HAYES GAII Lunch room CARL 11. Cadet Corps ' 16; Class basket Dramatic Club ' 16, Here is one of the two guys in the class who have had the stiektoitiveness to take four years of Latin. Not satisfied, however, with this achievement, Frank has also taken four years of mathematics. This speaks well of him as a worker. Frank is one of the two soup slingers in the Lunch Room, and if Dupree don ' t keep moving Frank will beat him to that job at Child ' s. We wish we had more like little Frank. staff ' 16. When it comes to doing the job at hand in the best manner that one is capable of doing it, Gailbreath is the man. He be- lieves in doing everything the best that he can. He never bluffs and is always working for the interests of the class. His moral integrity carried him through the investigation of the rottenness of the Lunch Room Politics a few months ago, which resulted in the dismissal of some of our friends. This fact alone will get him a posi- tion in any bank in the coun- try. FRANK, ball ' 15, ' 16; lunch room staff ' 16; 16 MlD-Yi Ali ANNliAL University Club ' 161 2. WILLIAM E. GLASS. ' 151 2, ' 16, ' I61 2; Undergraduate Club, ' I51 2, ' 16, Glass is the fat boy of our class and he ' s a sweet one too; just ask the girls. Edward is the star of the chemistry class, and it is said that he can make anything from oxygen to H2 S. Glass is an honored member of the Undergraduate Club and never fails to eat two bits worth of the fifteen-cent dinner at the Club meetings. He has also been known to read the Bible at ' ' Dad ' s Bible Class. Go to it, Glass. You are on the right track HIRAI r F. GOFF. Cadet Corps ' 16, ' I61 2; High School Club ' ISVa; Undergraduate Club ' 16, ' I61 2; football squad ' I61 2; class basket ball ' 16y2. No, ladies, this is not a farm- er He couldn ' t help himself when that name was wished on him; besides, what ' s in a name? Goff is a hard worker both in school and athletics and though he has never made his letter, he has tried hard and that ' s more than some of us have done. We don ' t know what Goff is going to do after he graduates, but whatever it is, even if it ' s farm- ing, we wish him success. MID-YEAR ANNUAL 11 WILLIAM GRUBBS. Class basket ball ' 16i ; class baseball ' 13; Glee Club ' 14. Ah, the class poet. This is some poet. He can write a poem about anything, from a beauti- ful woman ' s smile to a night- shirt During the short inter- vals of time that he has spent out of the sublime poetic heights we have learned to know and like him, and what- ever he takes up, we are sure he will make a success of. Grubbs in his spare moments plays a little basket ball and takes care of Mr. Pelton ' s cor- respondence. If he can do this he is pretty good. WILLIAM A. HAAS, JR.

He is, though, not as fierce as he looks and, outside of his warlike tendencies, a fine fellow. His record above speaks ; so well of him that it is hard i to add anything else. We can | add, however, the most import- | ant thing that can be said of j a fellow ; l ill is liked by every- body. Without this, his record above would mean little, but since he has all he is certainly . to be envied. Here ' s to you, Bill L 18 MID-YEAR ANNUAL IRVING HADFIELD. Orchestra ' 13, ' 14, ' 15, ' 16; Cadet Corps; A. L. A. Here is another musician. When he graduates the orches- tra will suffer a loss, for Had- field has been in it long enough to be familiar with its inner workings , and has been a great factor in its success. He also is a member of the Athenaeum, which in itself is no small honor. He is another fellow who took time to do the task at hand well. Go to it, Hmldy. Some day you will be going un- der the name of Zyxtverzky. RANDOLPH HERTEL. Honorable mention ' IB ; class basket ball ' 14, ' 15. You see before you the Kais- er ' s representative in America. If you want to start something just make an uncomplimentary remark about the Head of the Fatherland. However, if you keep off the subject of the war you will find that Hertel is 0. K. He has a hard time shin- ing in history, but that is prob- ably due to the fact that he sits next to Bain and they have to transact all their business in class, so he doesn ' t have time to recite. MID -YEAR ANNUAL 19 SAMUEL L ] Football squad 15, ' 16 L ' 16. Sam ' s weakness is football but it is a pretty strong weak- ness, as some of the Elizabeth- town ends will tell you. He is now the proud possessor of a foot ball letter and thougli he is not yet walking on solid earth, we are expeeting him down again soon. Sam (at times) doesn ' t do much talking but takes it out in doing and if he sticks to this policy he will some day occupy a high place in the world. Luck to you, Sam. JOHN M KEARNEY. Cashier of lunch room ' UV2; football squad ' 141 2, ISVs, ' 16y2 baseball ' 16i ; basket ball ' 161 2. Ah, ha, the guy that handles the Lunch Room money. We have only seen him count it and as to whether any of it accident- ally slips into his pockets we don ' t know. At any rate, they haven ' t caught him yet and we hope he gets out of school be- fore they do. John is also in- terested in athletics and if there is any game that he can ' t play, we would like to know what it is. John is all right, and some day we expect to see him cashier of the First National Bank. 20 MID-YEAK ANNUAL ' ALBERT KEMP. Thanksgiving Cross Country Run, 2d place; Cadet Corps ' 16, ' l V ; Senior Play ' 16. Kempie is our marathon run- ner. Who says he can ' t run ' ? Why, like unto the Greek bear- ing the news of Marathon to Athens, so also did our Albert stretch forth his powerful legs on Thanksgiving Day, and come flying down the stretch, the second High School fellow to finish. It was due to his sup- port that we captured the team trophy that day. It is said that he is a basket ball player too. LOUIS J. KING. Undergraduate Club ' 15i ; University Club ' ISVz class baseball ' 13, ' 15; class basket ball ' liVz. Senior Play ' 16; Smiling Louis. This is the only guy we know that always smiles no matter what happens. He even goes in to take one of Mr. Tinsley ' s Trig, tests with a smile on his face. Not that he is so sure of passing. Oh no,, he has been known to fail, but it takes more than that to dampen his spirits. King is a star in the Gym and whenever an exhibi- tion is to be given, he is right there. MID-YEAR ANNUAL 21 WALLACE M. KING. Cadet Corps ' 16, ' l i ; Agassiz Society ' 15; Honorable Mention 131 2. Wallace is one of our bright intellectual lights. He is a gun at Latin and Greek so if you ever get stuck on a passage just hunt him up and he will fix it for you. King doesn ' t go in for athletics but spends his time at his studies and to this fact is due the admirable record that he has made here. Stick to it, King. You ' ll get there. VORRIS KRUTSINGER. Yorris, ' ' The Boy Wonder. Say, when it comes to entertain- ing the girls, he is right there. They say he has to have a body guard to keep them off. If this is so, we think it would be a good idea for him to get Lind- say to act in this capacity. This would probably help out con- siderably. Yorris works hard (some times) and it is said that Mr. Ragsdale has had to send him out of the room several times to keep him from over- working. 22 Mtb-Y£!AR ANNUAL ALLAN LAPSEY. i J This dark haired youth is Mr. Lapsey. He is one of the kind that starts toward a goal and follows out his course, with- out looking to the right or to the left until he reaches it. He has little to say, unless he is spoken to, but when he does speak he says something. Allan, while not a star, has made a good record as well as many friends in school. Here ' s wish- ing you luck, Lapsey. JOHN R. LINDSAY. A. L. A. ' 16, ' 161 2 ; Undergraduate Club ' 161 2; Cadet Corps, Sergt. ' 16; First Lieut.

School Cheer Leader Gentle readers, you are now gazing, absolutely free, on the big attraction that brought so I many girls out to ' our football j games. If it wasn ' t for the fact that he distracted attention from the game, we could say that John was an A-1 cheer leader, but as this is only one of his many accomplishments he will not mind our commenting on this. Outside of his good | looks John is all right. MID-YEAR ANNUAL 23 CHARLES LONG. This fellow is Long. How- ever, he is not so long but on the contrary is rather short. He is long on the lessons and the ladies, they say, and if he can take care of these two branches of endeavor at the same time, he is a pretty good man. Keep it up, Long. You have the system.

Harry, ' The Silent. But because he is quiet is no sign he is not busy for he is one of the doin ' est men in school. Harry has been known to get excited and talk on rare occa- sions. He has played on the football team for three years and besides this has always managed to keep his name on the Honor Roll. He has finished the course in three and a half years, and to cap the climax has been awarded an Efficiency Medal. Good work, Harry. 1 MIDYEAR ANNUAL THEODORE Football team -14 , ' 15 , ' UV2; ' UV2; All State Football Team ' 14, MOSER. Mitre Club I4V2, ' 15, ' 151 2, ' 16, ' 16. Doe, like ] [iiier, is a football player of renown. In fact, he and Harry have records very mnch alike. He is a star at his lessons and his name is a per- manent fixture of the Honor Roll. All things considered, Ted ' s High School career has been a success and he may well look back on it with pride. We might also add that he is an honored member of the ] litre Club and one of its strongest backers. Luck to you, Doc. KAYE PAULUS. This guy is so tall that he can ' t tell when his feet are cold. He is the longest fellow we have. He is also a prestidigitateur of rare ability and skill, as those who saw him in the Senior Vaudeville can testify. We wish we could pick money out of the air with the ease that he does. According to present indica- tions Kaye will make magic his profession, and if he does we certainly wish him success. MID-YEAR ANNUAL 25 LOUIS PERRELLL Perrelli is the champion silent man of the class. Of all the guys that have little to say and plenty of time to say it in, he heads the list. If the profes- sors didn ' t call on him once in a while, you wouldn ' t know he was in the class. Though he has little to say, Louis has always been ready to do anything that he could for the class. F.ARL POTTS. Orchestra ' 14, ' J5, ' 16. Potts is another of our repre- sentatives in the orchestra. Be- sides being a member of this famous organization, he is also a good student and frequently succeeds in getting his name on the Honor Roll. His favorite study is history, at which he stars. Ask Mr. Riley. He has always shown great interest in the class, and for this and other reasons we wish him the great- est success. 26 MID-YEAR ANNUAL University Club 16, Arms ' 16, Sec. ' 161 . WARREN REH: r. ' I6V2; A. L. A. ' 15, ' 15V2, ' 16, ' 161 2 ; Sgt. at This Duteliman was the Chief Assistant of Davis in getting up the Dance, and for his work he deserves a lot of credit. He is one of the fellows who seem to make a success of anything that they undertake and we are al- ways confident of the success of anything that Rehm is at the head of. He is interested in all the activities of the school and is always pulling, not only for .his class, but for the school at large. GUY SANDERSON. Class Pres; Chairman Annual Executive Board; A. L.

When Guy was elected Presi- dent, it showed that he was the most popular fellow in the class. We are sure that it would have been the same way had this been a Co-ed school, for he is also very popular Avith the wo- men. Everybody who knows him, and that is practically everybody, likes him. It is ' no wonder, for he is right there with the goods. Getting out this annual is only one of the many things that he has done for his class. He is some Guy — the sort of fellow we will miss in the years to come. 1 MID-YEAR ANNUAL 27 HARRY SMITH. Class Pres. Manual ' 14, ' UV2I Vice-Pres.

' A loyal friend to those who know him, has been said of him, and any one who knows him will say the same thing. Harry served as president iof the class at .Manual several terms and displayed qualities of leadershij) that few possess. He is also a debater of note, having helped to defeat the girls from New Albany, which you will admit is some feat. Harry hopes to become a lawyer and though he is a little too honest for this job, if he takes it up, we hope he makes a great success of it. PARKE SMITH. Mitre Club ' 14, ' 141 2, ' 15, ' 151 2, ' 16, ' I61 2; Vice Pres.

Whenever there is a job that no one else will under- take, Parke is right there to see it through. He is a staunch sup- porter of the Cadet Corps and is said to be one of the best offi- cers in i1:. At Manual he served in several important offices and he has made the class of ' 16 a swell treasurer. Altogether he ' s a gun. Luck to you, Smittie. 28 MID-YEAR ANNUAL ARTHUR STEILBERG.

Several of the professors around school reduced the list of our class by requiring some of our members to sojourn at school until 1917, but Professor W ilson is to blame for the loss of one of our best and most wide awake members, when he required Bill Cummings to sol- dier to the Mexican Border. He didn ' t have to go, but Bill did not wait for a second invitation. The ' 16 class might possibly have been a little more notori- ous if he had stayed at home for he would have certainly thought of something better than painting sidewalks. 32 MID-YEAR ANNUAL MID-YEAR ANNUAL 33 HISTORY OF THE ' 16 4 CLASS, Whether Divided they started but united they stopped is to be found in Bartlett ' s Familiar Quotations is unknown to the writer, but at any rate that is what the class of ' 16 did. In February four years ago two groups of very young and foolish looking boys were to be seen gazing, with wonder in their eyes, about the Louisville Male High School and the Manual Training High School. School bags and lunch baskets were present in goodly numbers. Nearly all carried rolls of paper under their arms, and guarded them carefully. It was afterward brought to light by the Seniors that these were diplomas from the eighth grade. But a few weeks under such willing teachers as these same seniors proved to be, w orked wonders, and at the Male High School in the early spring some of them were even deemed presentable enough to be allowed to go to Mammoth Cave with a party of upper class men. This was a most remarkable trip in many respects. On this journey it was discovered to the surprise and delight of many and the chagrin of some, includ- ing the conductor of the train, that a railroad locom otive, even though named Hercules, will not run on schedule time when the brakes are set against it. It also developed that a railroad coach has a peculiar tendency to coast backward dow n hill at an interesting speed when it is uncoupled from the rest of the train. Several unheard of facts were also aptly demon- 34 MID-YEAR ANNUAL strated by these i3recocious youths while at the Cave Hotel. It was found that, while water pitchers make interesting ten- pins and window panes amusing targets, neither are noted for their durability. Altogether it was an amusing and instructive journey. When the class had gained the respectable title of English 5 they were allowed to have their first class meeting. At this meeting H. Christman was elected President and W. Haas, Vice President in Male High. At ] Ianual P. Smith was elected President and L. Winges Vice President. The next term at the Louisville lale High School when they were juniors it was found that the class had gained much in its knowledge of the world. They now made a most diplomatic move. A banquet was proposed in honor of the Senior Class. It was to be a peace-meal affair and was urgently advocated by the Juniors under five feet six in stature. Truly, the way to a man ' s heart is through his stomach, for the banquet was later held at Klein ' s and the next day at recess many Seniors could be seen conversing in pained but friendly voices with the lowly Juniors. It was noticed that while they talked they awkwardly held one hand in the region of their belts. Due to the importance of the conversation they entirely forgot the lunch room which made less sales that day than it had in two years. In September, 1915, the class was united at the Louisville Boys High School. At the first meeting Guy Sanderson was elected President and William Haas, Vice President. This year the class was prominent in every school activity. It had repre- sentatives on all athletic teams and was instrumental in the organization of the Cadet Corps and gave aid in the production of ' ' The College Politician ' ' by the Seniors. The following year they were full fledged Seniors and called their We Pun This Place We do with a gusto that was surprising. At a meeting that fall the lack of money for the publication of the annual Avas much bewailed by the treasurer. A ways and mean committee was thereupon appointed. At a subse- quent meeting it was decided to peddle certain small pieces of cardboard around the school for 50c. This ticket entitled the bearer to admittance to the School Gymnasium on the night MID-YEAR ANNUAL 35 of October 27th. The class had resolved to give the school a good time, get the spondulicks, and have a good time them- selves. The dance was a great success and was enjoyed by all who attended. For this reason the small bill for renovating the piano after it had been industriously torn down by the pianist was paid with pleasure. The class of M6} has now ceased to be an active unit in the life of the school, but its influence will long remain there. The forty members turned their backs for the last time on their High School life at the graduation on February 8th. 3tt iM tttflr of STUART DEMPF FAREWELL TO L. B. H. S. William L. Grubbs.

Walter Brashear Jr. Jean Miquelon was a gunner on one of the famous French 75s. Ma petite, he affectionately called it. Oh, but Jean was expert! Many years he had served in the army, faithfully at- tending to ' ' Ma petite, till he knew her every whim and need. He was her absolute master. He had the reputation of being one of the best and surest gunners in all the armies of France. Whenever a delicate piece of work was to be done, Jean was called on to do it. And Jean was proud of his skill. Jean had nearly served his time out in the army, when the call to arms rang through the land. It was no longer of any use to try to get an honorable discharge. How Miquelon longed to go back to his little home and be with his happy wife, and his beautiful little brown-haired Marie ! How he had labored and toiled to save enough money to purchase the little farm ! How he had worked to build the cottage I Such a pretty cottage it was, with its red tile roof, with the vines clambering over the doorway, and its quaint, neatly-kept peristyle. All of Jean ' s interest in life centered around this cottage, and now, just when he had hopes of returning to home and happiness, came the rude call to war. So Jean bade his tearful wife adieu, and marched off to drive back the invading German hordes, he and ' ' Ma petite. It was a long, hard campaign for Jean. The long, forced marches when all were foot-sore and weary; the fighting in the winter with the mud and snow clinging to one ' s boots, till one could hardly walk; the bitter disappointment of being driven back, back on Paris; and the fearful thought that the invading army would capture the fair city. Finally, the tide of fortune turned and the German army was being pushed back. Then came the fierce fighting in Alsace-Loraine. Jean w as now back in familiar country, for his home was not far from the scene of the fighting. One day, after a great deal of hard fighting, a manoeuvre of the artillery corps brought Jean within sight of his home. There it lay, untouched by the red hand of war, the vines still clinging to the red roof, the little garden unharmed, but all around the house was carnage; shell craters; the mangled 38 MID-YEAR ANNUAL bodies of men and horses; shattered gun carriages. Running right between the French lines and the house was a trench from which came a hail of lead, accompanied by the angry sput- tering of many machine guns, with the staccato fire of the smaller arms. The groans of the dying mingled horribly with the roar of the fire, and the deep booming of the artillery drowned out all at intervals. Jean was busy with ' ' Ma petite, and }ie was exclaiming with satisfaction at the accuracy of his shots. jDst as Jean Avas regarding the havoc wrought by one of his shells, he felt a touch on his shoulder. He turned and saw a messenger, who immediately saluted : The General says, sir, that yonder house is full of Ger- man officers, one of the Generals is there, too. They are plan- ning a deadly attack. You are to fire on the house at once. Jean started toward the messenger. Is that so? he said. Yes, was the nonchalant reply; and the messenger turned on his heel and tramped away. To destroy his own home, his own little home, for which he had labored so hard, to which he looked forward when this horrible war should end; his own cottage, lying there smiling in the midst of the red carnage, unharmed. Where would the wife and child go for a home? He would be destroying all future hope. But the words of the General came to him : They are planning a deadly attack. What if the attack should be successful? The French army would be routed with great loss. Jean straightened, squared his shoulders, and gritted his teeth. There w as the glint of determination in his grey eyes; his jaw was firmly set. He turned, and issued the usual orders for loading the gun. The work went on mechanically, then Jean took his place at the sight. The black muzzle of the gun rose slowly, and looked this way and that, as some black monster w ould in seeking out its prey. Then the aim was perfect. Jean stood calmly with his hand on the lanyard. His jaw muscles were working spasmodically, but his hand and arm were of steel. He closed his eyes and jerked the lanyard. When he looked up there was no longer the smiling red roofed cottage, but a yawning, jagged shell crater. He looked behind him, and there stood the Generalissimo rubbing his hands with satisfaction. There, floating in the breeze, was the French MID-YEAR ANNUAL 39 standard. Jean straightened, his heels clicked together, and his hand rose to his cap in a salute : ' ' Pour la Patrie, ' ' he murmured, his voice choked with sobs. ' ' THE AWAKENING. Carl H. Frank, ' 16 It was a dark, cold day late in December. Harris was sitting in his office in the Realty Building waiting for the business that apparently was never to come. As he sat there his mind wandered back over the days and years he had spent in the endeavor to become a good attorney. He remembered that he had always been desirous of becoming a good lawyer, one who would be a benefit to his community. He recalled his high school days. He had never attempted to ipose as a society light as some of his fellow-students had done, but in every move- ment that stood for the betterment of his school, he had al- ways taken an active interest. He recalled the days when he used to bone over Latin and Trig, way in the wee small hours. Some had called him crazy for taking subjects that called for such effort. But he studied on, thinking only of the training his mind was receiving and hoping that he might turn it all to account some day. Then he had gone to college and here, showing a still greater effort and determination, he had succeeded in graduating Magna cum laude. He then had secured himself a neat office in a tall, sunlit building in the heart of his native Louisville, and had hung out his shingle, as the saying goes. But then without income or practice either, he had met the only girl of his ambition. His father had wisely hinted at the advisability of his postponing the marriage until he might more properly have been termed a bread-winner. But thinking that the girl might prove an encouragement for his boy, he withdrew his objection. The marriage had been duly celebrated. In the course of time he had become the proud father of as fat and cheerful a youngster as ever the sun shone upon. But suddenly there was a shifting of his reverie and he re- membered that his baby w as ill. It had fallen, in the midst of 40 MID-YEAK ANNUAL one of its explorations, and had suffered an internal injury. An operation by a specialist, costing at least three hundred dol- lars, was necessary to save the boy from being a cripple for life. He remembered that he had wanted to begin to repay his father ' s loans. He remembered that it was near Christmas cind the rent for their apartment was due. The telephone rang. A friend at the Court House wished him to serve on a jury in his stead that afternoon. As there was nothing doing at the office he complied with his friend ' s request and went to the Court House immediately. As he was about to enter the court room a stranger tapped him lightly on the shoulder. He led him aside and told him that he was impowered by the L. O. R. R. Co. to offer him one thousand dollars to vote the affirmative in their case. Harris, not having the slightest idea as to what the case was about, refused abso- lutely. The court was called to order. The suit, as he soon found, had been filed b} the L. 0. R. R. Co. to obtain a franchise to run their line along one of the main business streets of the town in order to accommodate several factories at almost opposite ends of the town. This would eventually endanger the lives of many of the citizens, besides entirely ruining the appearance of the street. The company ' s la wer had just finished a lengthy harangue on the magnificent effect that a line through the midst of the city would produce for the busi- ness people, and an eulogy on the wide-awake and business- like appearance of the jury. He sat down. The jury went out. In a maze Harris realized that the de-cisjion lay in his power. Five of the jury voted for, five voted against. In a flash he beheld one of his beloved teachers of his high school days sitting before them pleading in his earnest and eloquent way, that it shall be the proud desire of each boy to do some one thing at least for the good of his community, even though it did involve a sacrifice. To do at least one thing for his eit.y ! That had always been his desire. In another flash he saw his sick boy endangered by the delaj ed opera tion, he saw the promise of a dull and gloomy Christmas, he saw the p rospect of constant worry about financial di fficu ' ties. By n oting for he vrould become the proud possessor of one thou- sand dollars in hard coin which would enable him to get his boy attended to properly; it would enable him to settle most of MID-YEAR ANNUAL 41 liis debts and to get a new start in life. But he could not for- get his old earnest desire, to be a truly useful citizen. Yes, or no? asked the head juryman. No! he flashed. He said it with a low, distinct voice, snapped it out as if it burned his tongue. The picture of poverty was upon him, the sorrow of his wife, but back he went to his office. A few days after he found on his desk a message addressed to Charles H. Harris, Atty. It was inclosed in the stationery of the L. 0. R. R. Co. but there was a blot and finger-print oi the messenger, which testified that the note had been hastily writen and delivered. He snatched it in feverish haste and tore it open : Chas. H. Harris, Att ' y--at-Law. Sir: — We have just been informed of the decisiveness of your vote in our franchise case this afternoon. While displeased with the results of our case we were very much gratified to behold your sense of loyalty to your town. This would aid us materially in our business, so we are hereby offering you a position on our staff of corporation counsels with an ajinual remuneration of $8,000. Please reply at once. Yours, L. 0. R. R. Co., Per H. D. Maddox, President. Harris, with a happy look in his eyes, beheld the sun sink beyond the horizon while the true sun of joy, golden and majestic, rose pompously o ' er the craggy cliff of Pleasure Park and filled his heart with one throbbing carol of true thankful- ness. A SON ' S SACRIFICE. Parke Smith. A hush fell over the court room as the Colonel of the Twen- tieth United States Infantry arose from his chair at the head of the table and looked around over the court-martial over which he was presiding. The room was full to overflowing with officers and men, all eager to see and hear what judgment Colonel Yager would pronounce on his only son, Lieutenant W. A. Yager, of whom he had expected great things. The Colonel ' s eyes at last rested on the haggard prisoner 42 and then he spoke; his voice was steady but his hand trembled; it was evident that he labored under a great mental stress. . Lieutenant Yager, after hearing all the testimony, both for and against you, and weighing the same carefully in my mind, I find there is but one answer. I find you guilty of dueling with a fellow officer, whom you killed. Doubtless you know the punishment for such an offense, but for the benefit of those who do not I will read Article 26 of the Article of War: ' No officer or soldier shall send a challenge to an- other officer or soldier to fight a duel, or accept a challenge so sent. Any officer who so offends shall be dismissed from serv- ice. ' The passing of such a sentence on you, Alfred — the Colonel seemed to forget the presence of the assembled crowd — ' ' means more f o me, my boy, than you can imagine. ' ' Here his voice failed and his head dropped in his chest, but when he raised it again there was a stern look in his eyes. But, gentlemen, he said, turning to the court room, I want it understood that Andrew Yager never lets his own feel- ings come between him and duty. Lieutenant Yager will please surrender me his sword and bars. The prisoner, who had sat motionless during his father ' s speech, arose, unbuckled his sabre, took off his coat and handed them to his father. His eyes met his father ' s with a look of agony, but they only received a stony look from the mask of solemnity behind which his father was trying to conceal his feelings. ] Ir. Yager, the door is behind you. Never let me see your face again. The prisoner passed out and was gone. The court-martial was over, and the Colonel retired to his quarters. ? Five years passed. The Colonel was now a retired Major General. His health was fast failing, partly, it was thought, be- cause of the loss of his son gnd of the disgrace from which he luid never recovered. Today he sat an old, broken, white-haired man. musing over liis past. The door bell rang harshly and the butler ushered in a young man dressed in the uniform of the Northwestern Alounted Police. General Yager, I believe, the young man smiled. Yes, was the purt answer, wliat do you wisli? MID-YEAR ANNUAL 43 I have come to bring you news of your son. You see, I thought maybe you would like to know about him. I have been with him since he joined the force five years ago. The old man ' s eyes fairly shone. Yes, tell me all, he said eagerly, as he motioned the stranger to a chair. They talked all the afternoon, and when dusk came, the stranger arose. I must go now, but w hat I came for was to give you this package. Alfred asked me to bring it to you, and he requested that you would not open it in my presence. The Colonel grasped it eagerly and taking the stranger by the hand he thanked him with tears in his eyes; and strange to say, the visitor was suddenly seized with a tit of coughing. Good-bye, sir; God bless you, sputtered the Coloiiel, and the stranger was gone. The supper bell rang and the Colonel went in, carrying the package with him. His meal over, the old man untied the package with trembling fingers. It contained a picture, a knife and a letter. The letter, which was addressed to him, he opened and read. It ran: Dear Dad, I could not leave without see- ing you and telling you what I have been doing with myself since the last time you saw me. By the time you read this letter I will have sailed for France to report to my command in the Foreign Legion, in which I hold a lieutenant ' s commis- sion. I was the boy with whom you talked all afternoon. I hardly thought you would recognize me as I have changed greatly in the last five years. My object in writing you is to explain to you the duel which brought me into so much dis- grace. It is too late now to cry over spilt milk, but I want to tell you some things that I would not tell five years ago. Just a month before the duel I happened to be down in Dobbes Place and while there I heard Lieutenant Ilaig, who was in a drunken condition, boast of knowing something that would cost the Colonel (you) his commission, so I took it on my shoulders to investigate. While he was drunk he talketl freely to me and told me that you were one of the men who participated in the famous hold-up in Phoenix thirty years ago. He showed me the accompanying picture, which he said the teller of the bank claimed was the bandit. He also had a knife bearing your initials, which was found on the scene of the rob- bery. I went directly to your oldest and best friend, Sergeant 44 MID-YEAR ANNUAL Connor, and laid the facts before him. He told me everything. Of your reckless wager with Lieutenant Haig ' s father that you could rob a bank. Of your success and its evil result ; how you fled and joined the army under an assumed name. How Lieuten- ant Haig became the possessor of these facts I do not know, for the Sergeant said both he and the Lieutenant ' s father swore never to breathe a word of the deed to a soul. I know the Ser- geant kept his word but the other man must have told his son, thinking it was too late now to harm anyone. When I had heard all the facts I knew that Lieutenant Haig must be put out of the way in some manner. It took me a long while to decide on the best way to do it, but finally I hit upon the idea of the duel. I insulted him publicly and called him a liar. He natural- ly took offense, and you know the rest. i Iay you forgive me for concealing these facts from you at the trial but I thought it better that a Lieutenant in the Yager family be dishonorably discharged from the army for dueling, than a Colonel in the same family for being an outlaw. Your loving son, Alfred. As the General finished, his fist banged on the table. James! he cried, call every steamship line leaving for — here his wrath got the best of him, and then to himself, and to think a Yager let personal feelings come before duty. He dropped forward on the table. Apoplexy, pronounced the doctor an hour later; be- came over excited and it carried him off. Three months later the Paris papers published an account of an American lieutenant in the Foreign Legion who was killed in action on the western front : ' ' The peculiar part of this death was the finding of an American flag sewed to the shirt of the man, on which were the words, ' Never let personal feeling come before duty. Andrew Yager. ' So far no relatives of the man have bee n found so he will bp given a military burial. Thus ended the account in the paper, and with it ended the Yagers. Activities. 46 MID-YEAH ANNUAL MID-YEAR ANNUAL 47 ?hoie ' v THE ATHENAEUM LITERARY ASSOCIATION The one hundred and eighth term of the Athenaeum has been one of the most flourishing in its long and varied history. We believe this is largely due to the fact that it has had one of its best Presidents. Mr. Bushrod Taylor is to be congratulated on his successful administration, which came to a close on Jan- uary 13th. At the election held on this night he refused re- nomination for President, but in accepting the office of Critic, showed that he was willing to give as much time as possible to the Association. The following able set of officers was elected: President Harcourt Parrish Critic Bushrod Taylor Vice President Edward Ronald Secretary Henry Christman Treasurer Sterling Thompson Censor Olof Anderson Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Mallon Assistant Secretary Everett Brown The speed with which these men were elected showed that they stood out above their fellows and were the only men for the offiices. The whole meeting was over shortly after nine o ' clock. That is, all that could be held in the club room. The best part w as still to come at Klein ' s. It was an awfully cold night and it was hard walking through the snow, but this only whetted the appetites for the big feed. In addition to the hosts, 48 MID-YEAR ANNUAL each of whom made short talks about how good the food was which they were furnishing, Boots Englehard, one of the old Male High Presidents, who has never lost interest in the club, made an impressive speech. After that, Guy Sanderson talked awhile, through the piano, and Walter Brashear got up a quartette which rendered some beautiful selections. December 9 will long be remembered as the date of the fifty- fourth anniversary banquet. This banquet is always one of the big social events of the Athenaeum year, and proved very popu- lar this time. It not only gives the fellows a chance to get a square meal, but also to hear some good ( ?) jokes. Everybody had a great time. It is even rumored that Bill Haas smiled and came near laughing. Henry Christman, who had evident- ly been waiting for this occasion since Thanksgiving, set up a howl which, we are told, was heard as far as the second floor of the Seelbach, when he discovered that the menu called for cheese sticks with the salad, and that only one stick was served. If this rapacious, avaricious, gluttonous gormand had not been so ravenously voracious, the inconsequential deficit would have passed by unobserved. Although his inferences were indisputa- bly incontrovertible it was indefensibly indelicate in him to in- sist, with such indefatiguability. Believe me, though, he didn ' t harp on this long, for when the rest of the eats were dealt out, there was no time to cry. I ' 11 sa} they were some eats, and every- body had a good time. If you don ' t believe it, ask anyone of the fifty-one fellows who were there. We might even say fifty- six and carry the list up through Ir. Reed, who seemed to enjoy himself too. The following splendid program had been arranged : How the A. L. A. Can Help the School C. E. Reed You and Us P. M. Terry The A. L. A. and the Kernel W. F. Bradbury Loyalty to the A L. A Boots Englehard Getting Aroused S. B. Tinsley There was a large attendance at the meeting on January 6th for Dr. ] Iaxwell was on the program. His speech was interesting and to the point as usual, and every member present enjoyed it immensely. MID-YEAR ANNUAL 49 MITRE CLUB THE SEVEXTEEXTH- AXXUAL OPEX : [EETIXG. For the last seventeen years it has been the custom of the Mitre Club to appear before the public- in the form of an open meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to shovr our friends ■what the club is doing and at the same time to give them one of the most enjoyable evenings of their lives. It is the last social event of the school year, and generally proves to be the acme of success. The entertainment provided was in the form of a play, followed by a dance in the gymnasium. On Friday, December 22nd, at 8 :15 P. l. over four hundred friends and parents of Mitre members were present in the school auditorium when the play commenced. The play was Hector, ' ' a farce in one act, and proved to be a grand success. William Sale, who took the part of the mer- chant, and William Carver, who took the part of his pretty young wife, played their parts to perfection. Their portrayal of the difficulties of the married couple was very amusing, lidge ' ' Reese seemed to be just cut out for the part of Fanny the maid. Claude Watkins in the role of a young student who had fallen in love with the merchant ' s wife showed that this is not the first young lady unde r whose spell he has fallen. Harri- son Brailsford. who took the part of Jacob Einstein, seemed al- most instinctively to have the bargaining traits of a x ' ' ti- broker. John Burge. as a servant, did some real acting, and by 50 MID-YEAK ANNUAL his queer antics repeatedly brought forth peals of laughter from the audience. Red MacCollum, although only on the stage a few minutes, scored a ' ' hit, and Parke Smith, as Watson a clerk, took his part well. Last, but net least, was Hector. Hector was a cute little collie pup around whom the plot of the play was built. He was really the cause of all the trouble, but he just looked calmly at the audience, and didn ' t seem a bit embarrassed. Much credit is due Mr. Theo. B. Miller, who coached the play. The cast of characters follows: PVederick Long — Merchant William M. Sale II Louise — His young wife William Carver Oscar Spencer — A young student Claude Watkins Jacob Einstein — A pawnbroker Harrison Brailsford August — A servant _ John Burge Watson — A clerk Parke Smith Fanny — A chambermaid William Reese A Messenger Boy Max MacCollum ] Iusic for the play was furnished by an orchestra composed mostly of Mitre Club members. The orchestra was gotten up especially for this occasion, and was managed by Mr. Zubrod, and directed by Mr. Kuersteiner. To these two Mitre Club members much credit is due. After the play, strains of music began to peal forth from the brilliantly lighted gymnasium and everyone headed for this . point. Bannon ' s Saxaphone Trio had been secured for the evening and the dancers moved gracefully until 1 :00 A. M. It was unanimously agreed that this was the best d ance ever given in the new gymnasium. MEETING OF DECEMBER 1, 1916. President Norman called the meeting to order at 8 :05 p. m. At this meeting Mr. Brailsford joyfully received the Secretary ' s announcement that he would he permitted to take part in the Open Meeting Play, as his name had not been taken from the roll. A failure to record Mr. Brailsford ' s tardiness at the previous meeting was the cause of the error. The Literary Program consisted of the following subjects: ' ' My Twin Brother by Sam English, and Our Football Prospects for 1917 by Max MacCollum. Simmons who was also on the pro- MID-YEAR ANNUAL 51 gram failed to appear. Mac ' s speech was the ' ' hit of the even- ing. Mr. Eddie Winn, who has been roaming at large since last June, was called upon to make a few remarks about the wide, v ide world. The Critic ' s and. Judge ' s reports were then ren- dered and the club adjourned at 9 :45 p. m. MEETING OF DECEMBER 8, 1916. A large crowd was called to order at 8 :00 p. m. by Vice President Smith. Mr. Simms was appointed Judge and Mr. Seay, Critic. Mr. Locke was appointed Sergeant-at-Arms pro- tem, and Messrs. Raible and Brecker were made temporary Secretary and Treasurer respectively. After the reading of the minutes, the Treasurer ' s report was made and accepted. Mr. Raible ' s Program Committee ' s report, and Mr. Smith ' s Open Meeting Committee ' s report were also accepted. On the Literary Program was Mr. Kuersteiner who spoke about Whales and Whoppers. Messrs. Brecker and Raible also gave short talks. Messrs. Seay and Raley were appointed by the Chair to assist Messrs. Norman and MacCollum in bringing in Mr. Glynn. Eli was rather surprised by this warm reception. Mr. Mac- Collum, Chairman of the Honorary Membership Committee, made a motion to make Mr. Glynn an honorary member. Mr. Glynn was elected and made a speech of acceptance. The Club adjourned at 9 :45 p. m. No meeting was held December 15, 1916, on account of the Senior Vaudeville. 52 MID-YEAR ANNUAL 1 UNIVERSITY CLUB The University Club has just finished a most interesting and successful term. Without a doubt it is one of the best on record. The literary programs could hardly have been im- proved, which is saying a great deal. The Treasurer has man- aged to save up quite a bit of money, whicli amount we hope to see doubled during the coming session. We want to see the membership grow larger also. On account of there being only (vne initiation this year, the club did not increase its roll as it should have done, but we can assure you that it wall not happen next term; being on a good foundation, we are now able to accommodate new applicants. The members have been very loyal to the club and even though it is forced to meet on Wed- nesday, they have shown the interest that will make the club grow. During the first month there were no literary programs, the meetings being devoted strictly to business. For the second month Mr. Carpenter headed the list. Mr. Whaley spoke at the second, and i Ir. Reed at the third. The most prominent speak- ers who followed were ] Ir. Wurtle, a lawyer who spoke on ' ' State, Dr. Powell who spoke on the Three Elective Words, and Mr. Scott Bullitt who showed us ' ' College Life in General. ' ' You can tell from their names without having heard them talk, that they made the evening enjoyable. We are sorry to announce that four of our members will graduate with the 1916 class. We extend an invitation to them to return as often as they wish and will be glad to have them with us. Their going leaves a vacancy that will have to be filled, so hand your name to one of the membership commit- teemen so you can take their place and enjoy the early pro- grams of the next term.. MID-YEAR ANNUAL o3 CAI| ■J CORPS The prospects for the reorganization of the Cadet Corps looked very doubtful when school opened. Captain Wickliff of the First Kentucky Regiment, who was originator of our corps, had been called to the border during the summer and as he was still there when school started we had no one to take the initiative. At last a man came forward and offered his services as drill master and general supervisor. This man was Colonel Felix Kerrick, a retired officer of the First Kentucky. From the moment Colonel Kerrick took hold things began to move swiftly toward success. The tirst call for recruits was issued from the headquarters of the Commandant on September 21. From that time until December 10, when the chance of enlistment was closed for tlie term, there was a steady stream of new recruits enlisting for service. These new men, who numbered about two hundred and seventy, were divided into two battalions and each battalion divided again into two companies, making one regiment of four companies under the command of Colonel Kerrick. After the men had been assigned to companies then the question which confronted our Colonel was who were to com- mand the battalions and companies? In the case of the farmer there was no doubt for the only two logical men for the positions were Captain Haas and f amb ; both men were given the rank of jMajor; Major Haas to command the First Battalion and IMajor Lamb the Second Battalion. These two men met with Colonel Kerrick and after much deliberation, in which the men eligible to command companies were viewed from every military angle, conferred upon the following men the title of Captain : Claude Watkins, to command Company B ; Ed. George to command Company C, and Alex Kirby, to command Com- pany D. William Waters was next appointed Regimental Ad- MlD-YEAH ANNUAL jutant, while Harry Davis and Wade Sheltman were made Adjutant of the First and Second Battalion respectively. The following men were appointed First Lieutenants: John Lindsay, Com. A ; Parke Smith, Com. B ; George Lyons, Com. C ; and Henry Offut, Com. D. Second Lieutenants: Hugh Billig, Com. A; Andrew Broad- dus, Com. B ; Winfield Ramsey, Com. C. After a month of hard drilling, we held our first Regimental Parade on October 26th. It was impressive to see the regiment march past and salute the reviewing stand (Col. Kerrick and Mr. Reed). There was just one thing lacking and that was the support of the school. Then came two more months of hard work following which was the real test. Colonel Kerrick prepared an examination which even scared the undauntable Major Haas, with his knowl- edge of military tactics. After most of us had survived this we were told that a real examination would follow and anyone who failed both examinations would go back to private. All privates were given the same chance to become non-commissioned offi- cers; that is, two tests. When marks on examinations were determined and grades averaged up the Colonel announced that commissions would be presented to the offleers and warrants to some ninety privates. December 20th will go down as a famous day in the history of the Cadet Corps. We had as our guests in Chapel that day the Adjutant-General of Kentucky, J. Tandy Ellis, and the Board of Education. General Ellis and the President of the Board both made talks and then the Adjutant-General pre- sented to each officer his commission and each non-commissioned officer his warrant. These commissions and warrants are worth working for. They are under the seal of the State of Ken- tucky and are signed by our Principal, the Superintendent of Schools, and Colonel Kerrick. On behalf of the Cadet Corps we wish to thank Professor C. E. Reed and Colonel Felix Kerrick for their never-ceasing work to make the regiment ' a success. With the coming of the new year we look forward to even more successful achievements in the way of military training and we hope to see the day when every boy in the Louisville Boys High School will be enrolled in the Cadet Corps. G. P. S. Heretofore, the dramatic side of our school life has been sorely neglected and in order to gain a place for ourselves, at the head of the list, in dramatics, as well as in the other activi- ties of the school, The Royal Mask, was organized with Mr. L. J. Sandmann in the role of chief instigator. The following officers were elected to give the club a good send-off: Paul R. Mallon President. Ed. L. Williams Vice President. Walter Brashear Sec ' y--Treas. W. A. Haas, Jr Business Manager. Claude Watkins Sergeant-at-Arms. L. J. Sandmann Director Tlie club set sail on a rough sea but with the sixty-two original workers, together with the constant inpouring of new material they hope to emerge with flying colors. The club intends to present plays at regular intervals, be- sides the big play, following the Senior Play in the spring, after which they will barn-storm through the neighboring towns. Their future is very rosy, indeed, and although their past is brief it predicts a successful future. The club was a great factor in the success of the Senior Vaudeville contributing nearly all the actors in the two skits, Back of the Yards, and ' ' The Rehearsal. The casts follow: Back of the Yards. Father Vincent J. C. Gilchrist Sergeant Bennett J. C. Norman Mickey Connors Paul Mallon Mrs. Connors Walter Brashear A Girl T. J. Doolan 56 MID-YEAR ANNUAL The Rehearsal.

Anderson Paul Witte The club will present Aunt Charlotte ' s Maid for the Senior Class when the girls from the L. G. H. S. visit us in February. The following officers have been elected for the next term and under their leadership the club hopes to do greater things and we expect greater achievements of them : Paul R. Mallon President. Wm. Sale Vice President. Herbert Bayer Sec ' y--Treas. J. Colgan Norman Business Manager. L. J. Sandmann Director MID-YEAR ANNUAL aOfATID With Professor Ackley acting as head nurse, the Debating Club was born to the Louisville Boys High School in the early autumn of 1915. As neither the old Male High School nor Manual had had any like societies in existence at the time of their merging to form the new Boys High School, the club was born under favorable conditions, and had no local rivals to contend with. It is no great Avonder then that, entering the world under such circumstances, the husky youngster felt him- self strong enough by February, 1916, to do battle with a Cin- cinnati High School. The affair was an even break — our Debat- ing Club losing to Cincinnati at Cincinnati, and defeating her on our home tloor. Encouraged by tlie good showing made agaijist Cincijuiati, the Debating Club challenged New Albany High School. But sad to relate the Hoosiers sprang a big surprise on the Colonels and our team came home defeated, but with blood in its eye. For later a debate was held with Jeffersonville High School, and this time there was a different story to tell, and a victorious team recrossed the Ohio, bearing with it Jeffersonville ' s bloody scalp. In September of 1916 the Debating Club entered on its second year of existence, and so far it has ' ' made good. The officers of the club this year are W. Sale, President ; J. Raban, Vice President; R. Raible, Secretary and H. Smith, Sergeant-at- Arms. The first war of the new year was waged against our old enemy — the New Albany High School — and it was a complete victory for Louisville, as we won both in New Albany and on our home floor. Feeling that there should be more debating in the regular meetings. Professor Ackley proposed that the club be divided into three different camps, and hold seven debates with each other. The best team is to be given a banquet at the expense of 58 MID-YEAR ANNUAL the other two teams. The plan was put into effect, and so far three of these debates have been held. The Debating Club is going to compete for the State Cham- pionship at Lexington this spring. In fact our club is respon- sible for the inaugurating of this feature of the annual tourna- ment. It also challenged the Walnut Hills High School of Cincinnati to another debate to be held sometime during Feb- ruary. Watch your step, Cincinnati. Harry Smith. THE UNDERGRADUATE CLUB. When High School and Manual consolidated a year and a half ago, the old High School Club and the old Manual Under- graduate Club consolidated into the High School Undergradu- ate Club. The purpose of this society is threefold: to promote cleanliness in speech, morals, and athletics. The club meets every Tuesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. Supper is served, for which a nominal sum is charged, and then the club attends the various Bible classes conducted by the Y. M. C. A. For most of the club meetings excellent speaikers are procured, speakers of the kind that make a fellow feel better for having heard the message. The club is working hard all the time for the elevation of the school in the three points. mentioned. Furthermore, it pro- motes sociability, mixing with the other fellows; it rubs the shyness off the Sophomore, it permits the Junior to mingle a little more freely with the Senior, it thus gives the three classes a common point of meeting that would not be had elsewhere, and in addition it benefits the individual by the good influence of the members of the club. 59 Vl|| Professor Wotawa (Director.) K. KuERSTEiNER {Coucert Master.) OECHESTRA, GLEE AND MANDOLIN CLUBS AND THE MILITARY BAND. The orchestra is one of the leading organizations of the school. It consists of thirty boys; thirty snper-boys who are geniuses, because it takes a real genius to play in the orchestra. This organization has a regular period every day for practice ; this daily practice together is welding the orchestra into a unit. The purpose of the orchestra is four-fold : First, the training of the individual in usable work; second, the creating of a familiarity with the standard compositions of the old masters; third, the creation of appreciation for music of the highest char- acter; and fourth, the facilitation of sight reading. Thus it will be seen that the orchestra is not only a thing for the work- ing off a boy ' s superfluous energy, but it is also an organiza- tion for serious work, in which the boys may get valuable musi- cal training. One of the features of the work of the orchestra is the play- ing in chapel at assemblies. This is not only pleasing to the student body but it gives members of the orchestra valuable concert practice. The Glee Club is an organization which was started with the Boys High School. Like the orchestra, it has daily prac- tice. Its purposes are practically the same as the orchestra ' s. The main idea is to cultivate an ear for music. Later the art of sight vocal reading will be taught. There are four divi- sions in the Glee Club, the first and second tenors and the first and second basses. There has been some talk of creating the position of short stop but this has been done away with. The Glee Club has sung several times in the assemblies and 60 MID-YEAR ANNUAL took a prominent part in the Senior Vaudeville. Mr. Wotawa plans to increase the club until he has a chorus of fifty to a hundred voices. The two most recent organizations in the musical line are the Mandolin Club and the Military Band. The former organ- ization under the instruction of Mr. ] Ieldahl has now quite a few supporters and is making rapid strides toward success. The latter we hope will be a great factor in the future success of the Cadet Corps. On the whole, these musical organizations, all of them, are a benefit to the school, and they elevate the taste of the whole school for good music. Mib-YEAR ANNUAL 61 The past term has certainly been a successful one in regard to athletics. The Track Team by hard, consistent work has made a place for itself in State athletic circles. Capt. Switow has proved himself a fine leader as well as a consistent point winner. At l)oth the Danville and Lexington meets he showed unusual class. At Lexington he hung up a new record when he stepped off the hundred-yard dash in ten and one-fifth seconds. Incidentally he came second for individual honors. The team was undis- puted champion of the State, having won every meet that they entered in the State, and getting second in the Tri-State meet at Cincinnati. Altogether prospects are very bright for a win- ning team next spring. BASKET BALL. The Basket Ball season has started off with a rush. Along in December the call was issued for candidates for the team and about fifty fellows responded. Practice started and after the first weeding out the squad was reduced to about fifteen. These fellows w ere stickers and practice went along at a hum. The first game was with LaGrange, the bunch that beat us last year. Nothing need be said about this game. The score speaks for itself. Capt. Flarsheim played out of his head and made most of the points. However, everybody in the game did fairly well, for the first game. The score: Flarsheim 25 F Starkey 2 McMahon 6 F Smith 4 Sanderson 2 Thompson Watkins 8 C Yager, C 4 Bain 4 Weller 1 G Yager,A. Mallon 2 G Overstreet 6 62 MID-YEAR ANNUAL On February 12th the team hit a snag, in the shape of Lex- ington High. Our whole team seemed to go to pieces and never succeeded in getting together. Lexington had a star in Thomas, star of LaGrange last year. He played all over the floor and shot baskets at will. Our guards handled him very well around the basket but out in the middle of the floor he was a gun. Jost of his shots were long ones. The score : Lexington, 48— L. B. H. S., 27. On February 17th the team will meet St. Xavier and every- thing points to an easy victory which we hope will be the beginning of a long string. With such men as Capt. Flarsheim, McMahon, Watkins, Mallon, Weller, Bain, Sanderson and Netherton the team ought to make a good showing and we are expecting nothing less than the State championship. The team will lose two men in Sanderson and Bain at gradu- ating but there are several good second string men ready to take their places. FOOTBALL. The account of the football season has been written in a previous issue so it is not necessary to enlarge upon it now. We are proud of the fact that two of the most dependable and efficient men of the team. Miner and Moser, are members of this class. We are glad to have them in the class, yet we are sorry, for the team ' s sake, that they are leaving for the team will certainly miss them. MtD-YEAR AiJNUAL 63 On December 10th the assembly was the most novel which we have had this year. It was a moving picture trip through the plant of the Curtis Publishing Company, accompanied by a talk by Mr. Crosman, from the Bureau of Economics of Wash- ington. The pictures showed the making of the ' ' Ladies ' Home Journal and the Saturday Evening Post. They were most interesting. The machines used by this publishing house should be an inspiration to some of those taking the technical course. Mr. Reed had hesitated to have the ' ' movies ' because to do so the auditorium has to be darkened, and he was afraid that the Freshmen would become frightened in the dark and begin to cry for their mamas. None of the Freshies broke into actual sobs, however. Just before the exhibition of the pictures, Mr. Miller, the basket ball coach made a short talk boosting the basket ball game which was to be played on Friday, December 12th. He said that we had prospects for a great basket ball season. The first annual reception to the parents of the Juniors and Seniors was given December 12th, by the faculty and the two above mentioned classes. There was a program of music and speech making in the auditorium. The speakers and their sub- jects were : L. B. H. S. Its Equipment and Opportunity Wm. Sale II Physical Training and Athletics Guy P. Sanderson Musical Activities Ed. L. Williams The Cadet Regiment Wm. A. Haas, Jr. Literary and Dramatic Organizations J. Colgan Norman ' ' Closer Co-operation Between School and Home, ' ' C. E. Reed, Principal The student speakers show ed the parents what the boys are really doing, and what a chance there is for development in the various school activities. Mr. Reed made a plea to the parents 64 MID-YEiAIi ANKtTAL for better scholarship, asking that they see to it that the boys study a certain amount of time every day. The orchestra outdid itself on this occasion. It played no fewer than four pieces, one of which was very long and difficult. It reflects a great depl of credit on the orchestra to be able to do such work. After the program the guests of honor were invited to visit the teachers in their various rooms. This was the most import- ant part of the reception for it gave the parents a personal con- tact with the teachers. The Christmas holidays did not quite demoralize the school, and after two weeks back in the harness, with examinations only a week off, the boys are working mighty hard. Only the class of 16y2 is allowed exemption from examinations on a grade of 90 or better. This is a fine thing for the Seniors, they have a lot to do without worr3dng about the examinations and they look down on and pity the other poor dubs who have to take them whether or no. MID-YEAR ANNUAL 65 PROVERBS REPOINTED. Charity covers a multitude of amateur performances. A bird on toast is worth, a dozen in the bush. Straw hats usually show w hich way the wind blows. Soup should be seen and not heard. There is always room at the bottom — of the early straw- berry box. The darkest hour is always when you can ' t find the matches. Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to establish night schools. Fools rush in where angels wouldn ' t care to be caught by the police. j Ien may come and men 2nay go but the gas meter goes on forever.

An Englishman visiting the United States for the first time was riding in a street car in New York. Opposite him sat a woman upon whose lap was a very ugly baby — a very homely child. The baby seemed to fascinate the Englishman, he could not keep his eyes off it. He would look away, drop his eye- glass, and endeavor to fix his attention on some other object, but it was of no use ; he had to look back. At last the mother, obviously annoyed, leaned over and hoarsely whispered, Rubber. A relieved smile spread over the Englishman ' s face and he replied with great fervor: Madam, thank God! Do you know I actually thought it was real. Henry looked at Bessie, Oh ! what a pretty miss ; He crept a little nearer, Then gently stole — away. How did you find that piece of steak, sir? asked tlie waiter, in anticipation of a liberal tip.
