THE EN EM Year Book of the North Manchester High School Published By The Senior Class of Nineteen Sixteen VOLUME III lUe, the Senior Class of 1916, bo hereby bebi-cate tljis. tbe tfjtrb bolume of tbc £n Cm Annual, to tbe Jf acuity anb fctubent ©oby of tbe iiortb fHancbegler l igb School • • • This annual was printed by THE BENTON REVIEW SHOP, Inc. Specialists in School and College Printing Fowler, Indiana The Class of 1914, under the commendable leadership of I). Arden Strauss, undertook a project which never before had been attempted in the High School. That class, in the face of seemingly unsurmountable difficulties, put out the first volume of the En Km annual. Without an exception, all wished to do something which would interest not only the school, but the public as well; it was their idea to portray to the public, school life as pupils see it. And the result was a gratifying success in all ways conceivable. In 1915, the Senior class was of the same mind. And the Senior class of 1916 certainly docs not lack the necessary enthusiasm essential for carrying out a like purpose. But, there is another factor in the putting out of an annual, not to mention which would be highly unjustified. That factor is the financial aid given by the broad-minded business men of our town. From the beginning, the business men play an important part in the output of an annual. Their cooperation is necessary, because the price of an annual does not pay for its cost. This year in place of advertisements, we have solicited donations from individual men and business firms. And since it is through this medium that we obtain the necessary funds, certainly we are glad to present the names of those persons and business firms who have so readily aided us in our enterprise: C.

The curtain rises displaying a group of twnety-seven forlorn looking Freshmen. The heads are somewhat lowered and the expression upon each face is one of embarrassment and awe. Those in the assembly are as follws: Mamie Ballcnger, Gerald Baum. Olivia Browne, Marie Creager, X'annas Clymer, Duane DeLancey, Doris Kbbinghaus, Hazel Flick. Amber Gilbert, Lela Grossnickle, Harold Grossnicklc, Bruce Howe, Bland Isenbar-ger, Fred Jenkins, Alcesta Dunlap, Hubert Little, Mildred Nean der, Krma Xeander, Arthur Overholser, Blanche Nichols, Marie Ream, Leona Slagle, Lona Slagle, Marcella Thomas, Donald Ulrcy and Alma Walters. Well,” said one of the group, we may feel elevated at least because we are now classed as high school pupils.” Yes,” replied another, but we are only Frcshies.” By the tone of his voice you might detect the boy's feeling, that it would be a long time until he would be a Senior. By the time, however, that the curtain is lowered, this class has become accustomed to the surroundings and feels at home in the daily toils. ACT II. When the curtain again rises we sec many of the same faces, althouhg the number has diminished until there are now twenty-one fiaczbemhrfl .. srfbqlcyb-p dn BvaoitnH u..tgeewyhtu one. There is a clamor of voices. Some are telling the next neighbor that he or she has become a member of the Glee Club or the Orchestra; others boasting the athletic association of which several of the number are members. There is also much to say about the annual which is the first to be published by the North Manchester High School. After the excitement of all these things dies down there is the all-famous question: Did you make all your credits?” or. “Will you be a junior next term?” ACT III. Upon the ascending of the curtain the third time we gaze upon a happy group who are discussing the Junior-Senior reception, Glee Club parties and other social events besides the regular line of school work. Three of the former group are not in this scene, but their places are filled by Gladys Islcy, Catherine Boomler, Treva Kikenberry and Dotte Lautzenhiser.. X'annas sits chewing her fore-finger blissfully while Bruce is trying his best to pull off some joke. A group of the girls have assembled in what the boys call a “hen party.” Bland stands erect and after stepping a little forward says in a commanding tone, Well, we will see what we can do about this.” Then we hear the reply from Doris, I really do not know what to say.” Then come the scenes that have been the cause of all the confusion and each one declares that there never were such flowers, such dresses, eats and amusements until these rare occasions. At the parties Duane watches Bonnie continuously for he knows that Donald is looking for someone to flirt with and he fears it might be she. Next are the good-byes and farewells which must last until the opening of the next act which will represent the all eventful term. ACT IV The long looked for time and the time for the grand finale has come. The same faces greet you with their happy expressions and smiles, so much different from those which we first witnessed. The assembly has now reached the highest point and there is much display of talent in gathering material for the annual. Then come more parties and receptions with equally beautiful dresses and flowers and with eats and amusements beyond description. Finally we see the graduation and the presenting of diplomas. All are happy and the curtain falls amid a shower of flowers ALCESTA ALMA DUNLAP Secretary Glee Club; En Em ’16 Staff; Class Secretary; Tennis Club. “Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low; An excellent thing in women.” EDITH MARCELLA THOMAS Secretary German Club; En Em ’16 Staff; President Glee Club. “All higher knowledge in her presence falls degraded.

Miss Martin forgot her name at Wabash. Doris Ebbinghaus has so many dates with Hubert. “Bert” Cripe prefers blonds to brunettes. Miss Freeman is so “radiantly happy” on Tuesdays. Miss Moore is going to teach the Seniors grammar. Doris Ebbinghaus swallowed her napkin at a Senior party. Marion Bonewitz writes “Ragtime.” Miss Fisher had only fifteen cents with which to take Miss Martin and Miss Moore to the show. Lorraine Bolinger likes to conjugate amo. The Wolves got Batton. Cecil Lelancey strokes his massive brow after Latin I. 6. 8 f)attet b Bream A war was raging between the nations. The forces were dead-locked along a front several miles in length. A decisive battle was about to open. The artillery had roared ceaselessly for hours. The forces of the Gray, encamped in their trenches on a rocky, sparsely wooded hillside were as yet undiscovered by the cannons of the enemy. The Red forces were entrenching in a flank movement on a hill two miles away. About half way between the hills a yellow road ran. On the part of the valley nearest the Gray forces stood the fields of half grown corn. How could the unsuspecting know that the corn concealed a maze of barbed wire entanglements? On the other side of the road was a swamp, filled with evergreen trees which had grown to a great height. And could the unitiated know that behind the screen thus formed was an aerial camp, boasting a monoplane and two bi-planes? Beyond the swamp lay a line of four hills standing in pairs, between which lay a low, level stretch of land a half mile wide and stretching back six miles to another line of hills, barely disccrnable. Nature had so arranged that an aeroplane could rise behind the evergreens, sail up the valley in the opposite direction from the gray forces and rise to great heights in almost complete safety. On the morning of which I speak the cannonading had almost ceased; it was the quiet before the storm. The Red forces on the four hills were silent, while only a few scattering shots came from the machine guns of the Gray. Suddenly a low but familiar hum could be heard. The Grays had heard it at intervals for several days. In vain their officers had scanned the horizon with their glasses. They could see nothing. But now anxiety was awakened anew, and the officers searched again. Suddenly a smothered shout burst from their ranks. They had discovered it. Miles away at a great height a black dot could be seen coming slowly toward them. Quickly their guns were uncumbered and volley after volley launched itself toward the object but all fell short. As it gradually drew nearer the faint outlines of a bi-plane could be seen. The sun scintillated upon the propel lor as the machine rose still higher as it approached the enemy’s lines. But now the firing was better and faint puffs of white smoke appeared in all directions around the plane. The antecedent looked very near but in reality they were far from the aviator; he felt comparatively safe. But on the ground as the aim became better the excitement increased. It seemed as if the plane would surely be brought down. But now it was directly above them, and they knew its mission when, after standing still for a moment, the aviator tossed a tiny dark object down toward them. An instant later a terrific detonation sent huge timbers, boulders and men high into the air. The aviator smiled. From the hills nine miles away came a faint and insignificant roar, deadened by the distance. But high over the heads of the Reds on the fortified hills, and high over the air man’s camp floated the screaming shrapnel! which spread death and destruction to the army of demoralized Grays. A space of seconds followed this volley and then came another and another. At last the Grays were defeated; gradually the firing ceased. The battle was over, and the aeronaut was the hero. Lazily he drove his machine hack to camp. As he alighted, his companions cheered, but suddenly something hard and rough flew up and hit the daring aviator in the eye. and at the same time something else rained blows upon his back. At the same time he heard a stern voice saying. W illie. how often do I have to tell you I need a pail of waterThe small boy heaved a sigh, laid aside his newspaper ami went for the water. —L.

The remainder of “The Journey to Lisbon was uneventful, Only a pin And it calmy lay In the shining light Of a bright noonday. Only a boy. He saw that pin And fixed on it a look intent And soon that boy had the little pin bent Only a chair It had no business standing there The boy put on a silly grin but finding that they had climbed “One Niche the Highest” to “Red Rock they crossed “The Prairie” with “The Deerslayer” guiding them. They gave “Lenore” her “Tam O’Shanter” which she had lost when with “The Shepherd of the Hills.” Their parting was a sad one, but they said “Good-Night” and departed conscious that ‘The Kyes of the World” were upon them. a $ttt And on that chair he fixed that pin. Only a man, He sat on that chair. And when he rose So did his hair. Only a yell! Hut an honest one; And it surely lacked all elements of fun, And soon the man. boy, pin and chair In wild confusion mingled there! F. S. '17. TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR H. S. STUDENTS I.

BEAUTIES OF SPRING The sky that afternoon was dark and foreboding, but the exhilarating feeling of spring was in the air. I felt sure that the violets were blooming, so I started in search of them. I planned to visit a certain spot on the banks of the Tippecanoe, for I knew the violets were always early there. When I reached this place, I found only a few flowers, and sadly disappointed, I started to walk around the bend in the river, which turned sharply to the west at this point. I came suddenly on an enclosed place, shut in on three sides by trees, and on the other side by the river. The ground was a mass of purple violets, made more brilliant by their contrast with the dull gray river and the lowering lead-colored sky. I was amazed at the glorious coloring of the scene, and remained a long time, gazing with delight on its simple beauty. It seemed a sacrilege to pick them, so I left the violets undisturbed. Those violets arc dead, but the memory of that scene remains, and always will remain, an example of Nature's lavish art. Margaret Newby, '19. We hope you’ll not object And say it's a defect; The story’s short, ’tis true, But we’ll put it up to you— Are not the sweets of life Always the shortest? !Hn Httfoitton to tljt jSicfe Carter papers As the train pulled away from the station, the three chums, Fred, Henry, and Janies, each fourteen years of age, were strolling along the path near the station. Suddenly Fred ran to the edge of the path and picked up a leather wallet. Upon examining this, the boys found it contained a large roll of bills and a piece of paper which had a cipher written on one side and a map of some mountains on the other. The only clue to the identity of the owner of this wallet were the letters R. H. burned in the leather. As the three friends examined their find, a very rough-looking man came up and claimed the wallet. The boys refused to gvie it to him. and he called another man, equally savage looking who took the purse from the boys by force. After this, the men ran around the station and across the track, disappearing behind some shacks. The boys started home, regretting their loss very much, and after a 'few minutes Fred said he was sorrier about losing the chart than the money. James answered, “Never mind, 1 slipped the chart in my pocket when I saw the man coming.” With this he drew the paper out, and the boys began a detailed examination of the map and the cipher. The chart had a crude picture of mountains and a river on it. Beside the river was a town marked Matthews, and a little to the left of this was a cross marked in blue pencil. The boys tried to work out the cipher, but it was getting dark and as they had reached their homes, they separated, Fred taking the char , with him. At dinner that evening, Fred’s father said that two men had been arrested as vagrants and were now awaiting trial. After dinner Fred asked his father for a quarter, which his father told him to get from his coat pocket. Fred found the quarter and also, much to his amazement, the key to the cipher, which his father had found on the street. Fred hastily pocketed it and left the house. He went to James’ home and called him, and the two boys together went after Henry. Then Fred told the other two of his latest find and they planned for a meeting early the next morning. Then they all went home and to bed, where they dreamed all night of hidden treasure. The next morning they met in the loft of James’ barn, and here they compared the cipher and the key. After mtich trouble they discovered that the section mapped was in the southern part of Indiana, and that the mountains shown were the “Knobs.” The cipher had been made by a man named Thomas Higglesby, who had had a large fortune and who had lived on the outskirts of Matthews. The blue cross indicated the place where he had buried his immense wealth. The boys became very excited, and decided immediately that they must start on a hunt for the buried treasure. As a freight train which was bound for Matthews went thru town at ten o'clock at night, they decided to hop the train that night. That evening they all met at the watering tank and there they boarded the train when it stopped to take on water. After riding all night, the boys reached Matthews. Having forgotten to bring any money, they were forced to beg their breakfasts. W hen this was successfully carried out. they proceeded at once to the home of .Mr. Thomas Higglesby. on the outskirts of the town. I hey found the house, with some difficulty and by forcing a window open they entered Mr. Higglesby’s former'’home, which was very dark and musty. There was still some old furniture about the rooms but the house was deserted as the boys had already discovered in town. The three chums decided to wait until evening before continuing their explorations. I hat night as 1-red lay on the floor trying to go to sleep he saw a faint blue light in the corner of the room. He was too frightened to move but lay staring at it. As he looked he saw it change into a human form and then disappear through the floor. hen I-red became conscious again, he aroused Henry and -lames and told them what had occurred. Henry said he wondered if the ghost was that of Mr. Higglesby. He was curious to know why the apparition sank through the floor rather than disappearing in the usual manner of ghosts. Henry, being bolder than the others, walked across the room to the place where Fred had seen the ghost vanish. He stumbled and fell to the floor. Looking to see what had caused him to fall he discovered In the moonlight, which shone thru the window, that a board was loose. Just at this moment the board slowly moved to one side and to the horror of the boys a human skeleton was disclosed ! The boys rushed from the house into the night. They hurried to the police-station where they told of their strange experience. The officers refused to believe the story, but finally the boys persuaded them to go to the house and there they found everything just as the boys had described it. The skeleton proved to be that of Mr. Higglesby who had disappeared about ten years before. The police then informed the boys that they were to receive a reward of $1,000. I'his money was offered by Mr. Higlcs-by s brother for information concerning the whereabouts of Mr. 11igglcsby. However, the boys were to be kept under the care of the chief until Fred’s father could come after them. Fred’s father, Mr. Newton, came on the next train. He identified the boys and took them home with him. They were met at the station by the fathers of James and Henry. Each boy M� on regretted his hasty departure in search of adventure, for immediately upon their arrival home each father took his son to the woodshed. A seance followed. I his was in part onset by the-receipt of a check for $1,000 the amount of the reward. It is needless to say that the boys have not gone on another such adventure since their first escapade. Ladoska Bunker, Eighth Grade ifltbnigljt erenabc The moon shone into my sleeping porch with mystic splendor. I had just retired, after having spent a delightful evening on the rippling water of the lake, and was in my tirst calm sleep when 1 was suddenly aroused by a dreadful wailing sound. 1 waited a moment then it came again. “Meow —Meow—ft —ft f_t!” I could not imagine what it meant. Quietly I slipped from my bed, and tiptoed across the room. I glanced over my shoulder, and, to my horror, saw a ghost reflected in the mirror! I fled back to my bed where I covered my head with the sheet, and lay there trembling and afraid to move. I had lain there scarcely three minutes when again came a clamor of wailing shrieks, this time from above my head. Then I realized for the first time that our neighbors’ cats had decided on the roof of my cottage as the best and least likely-to-bc-disturbed spot to settle their heated arguments. My fear was replaced by disgust at my own cowardice and by a desire for undisturbed peace. I slipped into my dressing-gown and slippers and hurried outdoors. Once outside, and a few feet from the house, I threw a stone at the cats. They at once decided to remove to a more suitable location before renewing hostilities. The clock struck twelve as I crawled into my bed for the third time, and my midnight exertions had so tired me that I soon fell asleep and I was not awakened any more that night. Ruby Olingcr, ’19. (Drdjestra Under the supervision of our instructor, Mrs. Sexton, we have been very successful in our orchestral work during the previous years. At the beginning of this term, however, we found that we had lost some of our players but their places were soon filled by Lorraine Bolinger, Leo Lowery, Fred Rciff, John Lavey and Bruce Howe. A great improvement has been shown this year in the work. Fetch member has worked hard and shown an increased desire to make this organization what it should be and as a result, has succeeded. I wo periods a week are reserved for practice and such Pieces as “The Chocolate Soldier” by Strauss, “II Trovatorc” by Verdi, “Ave Maria” by Gounod and “Marguerite W altz” from Faust by Gounod have received much attention. W e made our first appearance this year at the Municipal Christmas tree. Our music, racks, sound and all however, were blown to the four winds which were fiercely raging. In February we played two successive evenings at the G. A. R. Hall for the Purdue Short Course and in March, for the social given by Class No. 14 of the Methodist Church. Kach time we met with great success and approval. Again the orchestra has had its place at the Commencement exercises as has been the custom since the organization.

Accompanist. £lee Club The Girls' Glee Club was organized the first week in February and began work on several selections which were very pretty. They sang the “Carmena Waltz”, and Music of Spring” at the Grand Army Hall for the benefit of the Purdue Short Course and made a great success. Mrs. Sexton is the conductor of the Girls’ Glee Club and takes much interest in the work. One period a week is devoted to practice and the music is of the very best class. The girls have sung before the High School such numbers as the Modern Hiawatha”, “The Spinning Song”, and “The Iroquois Lullaby.” The soloists were Marcella Thomas. Treva Liken berry and Mae Lefforge. They have sung many selections at the shows for the benefit of the Annual ami as a whole are considered a very good chorus. Cbe Pops’ The Boys’ Glee Club was organized about the first of February, and at the first meeting it was decided to govern the Club in a business like way. Bland Isenbargef was elected President and Duane DeLancey, Secretary and Treasurer. A short business meeting is held once a week to dispose of any business which is to be considered. The boys in the Glee Club all have good voices, and tho none of them are trained, they can make splendid music. Their ability in this direction has been shown on many occasions, chief among which are the Purdue Short Course and several picture shows given for the benefit of the En Em. They have also entertained the high school chorus on several occasions. At the Purdue Short Course, Bruce Howe sange the verses of “My Little Girl”, while the entire Glee Club sang the chorus. Foster Sheller entertained the high school with a coon song which- was loudly applauded. In fact, every one clapped so hard that Mrs. Sexton was forced to tell us to stop. lee Club i'hc boys are not in the least bashful, as might be expected, and so we arc all expecting good results from their splendid voices. Lorraine Bolingcr Is accompanist for the Boys’ Glee Club, and the boys all swear by her. They themselves admit that their singing would not he half so good with anyone less competent to accompany them on the piano.

Every one likes to sing and we all do well. Mrs. Sexton is the director and has given us some beautiful selections this year, which have been worked up almost to per fee1 ion. Some of the shorter selections which we like are, The Hiring Fair from Chimes of Normandy,” Ah! I have Sighed to Rest Me,” from 11 Trovatorc,” and Oh, Italia, Beloved,” from “Lucrctia Borgia.” Some longer songs are, The Evening Wind,” Faust,” Daybreak” and The Night Song.” We have also done a grea1 deal of work on The Wreck of the Hesperus” in which the solo parts are sung by Thelma Mum-inert and Bruce Howe. We are often entertained by a talk on a great musician by some member of the music class, and several times we have enjoyed solos and duets by other pupils. The two Glee Clubs have given programmes at different times. We have had our Yictrola three years and each year has increased our enjoyment of it. Each year the difficulty of the selections has been increased and we are asked to interpret each number. We were very fortunate in securing Miss Gardner as accompanist, and every one appreciates her kindness in playing for us. Miss Gardner is quite accomplished as a piano solois1. She has given recitals in Ft. Wayne, Wabash, and other cities of this vicinity, as well as in New York City. She was favorably received in all places, and we are very glad to have procured such an able musician to accompany us. She has entertained us several times in music class with selections such as The Eleventh Rhaspody” from Liszt, and several compositions from “Beethoven. ENGLISH The study of English in the High School makes one able to talk and express one’s self in better language, and to read and think more intelligently. The four years work which are offered are taken up in the study of Literature, Composition and Grammar. The Freshman read books such as the “Merchant of Venice”, “The Christmas Carol” and “Tales of a Wayside Inn.” Composition work is given along with the other work in all of the classes. The books generally read in the second year are “The Vision of Sir Launfal , “The Deserted Village”, The Traveller”, “Silas Marner” and “Julius Caesar.” In the third year American Literature is given a pretty thorough study and varied selections such as “Idylls of the King”, “Sir Roger deCoverlv Papers”, and “Birds and Bees” arc studied. • English Literature, together with English authors and their works, are studied in the fourth year. Milton and his “Minor Poems” Shakespeare and his “Hamlet” and “Macbeth”, and works of Lord Byron are studied. Six credits are required and eight are offered in this subject. LATIN Foreign language is considered one of the most important branches of high school work, for besides helping one to become familiar with foreign construction of words it aids the pupil to speak correctly in English. The First year of Latin is mostly grammar work, which enables the pupil to translate either from Latin to English or English to Latin. During the second year, four of Caesar's commentaries on the Gallic wars are to be translated into English. Grammar work is also carried on in this year. Three of Cicero’s orations against Catiline, and also one other are required to be translated with a careful study of grammar. During the last year the first six books of Virgils Acneid are translated while an extensive work of scansion is taken up. Latin games and plays are taken up in all four years’ work, which are very amusing and interesting. Eight credits are offered, four are required. GERMAN German is one of the most important studies offered in the school work. In the first year German Grammar is studied rather thoroughly. Short stories arc translated into English and German compositions and letters are written. The second year is much more interesting than the first. Books such as “Das Kalte Her . , “Holier als die Kirchc”. Der Prozesz and “Immcnsee” are translated. The grammar work, of course is continued thru all four years of the work. The third and fourth year classes are combined. The Composition and grammar used by the class is “Bacon’s German Composition”, “Taugenichts”, “Die Journalisten , “Wilhelm Tell” and “Herman und Dorothea are books such as are generally translated by the third and fourth year classes. Many German poems and songs are learned which arc greatly enjoyed. In order that we may be able to talk and understand Ger man better, German conversation in class is especially emphasized. Last year our German Club, known as the Gcrmanistischc Gcsellschaft, was first organized. Any German pupil in the second. third or fourth year classes may belong to this society. The main object is to broaden our knowledge of the German language and customs. The meetings, at which German songs arc sung, games are played, stories told and poems recited, are held every two weeks. MATHEMATICS Mathematics is one of the most important and interesting subjects given in the H. S. Curriculum. This subject encourages the pupil to work things out in a true and exact manner, not allowing him to draw conclusions without reasoning it to the end. There are eight credits offered in mathematics, or four years work. Three credits arc in Algebra, two in Plane Gcom- etry, one in Solid Geometry, one in Commercial Arithmetic and one in Plane Trigonometry. Four credits are required. HISTORY History is commonly divided into three great periods, Ancient. Medieval and Modern. While there is complete continuity in the course of history each of these periods has certain characteristics distinguishing it from the other, and making it convenient to treat each as a unit. In the first, which is taken tip by the Sophomores, the beginning and growth and decline of the great civilizations of antiquity are comprised. Ancient History is usually regarded as ending at the fall of Rome. Modern and Medieval History is taken by the Juniors. The Medieval History begins with the fall of Rome and takes up until about the end of the fifteenth century. Modern History begins here and takes up to the present time. American History and Civil Government are taken up together in the Senior year, and the course teaches boys and girls lu� w to become good citizens. BOTANY Botany is a science which deals with plants and their surroundings, dealing with nature. Not much was known about this subject until after the sixteenth century and from that time on it has steadily increased until now even the life cycle of the most minute plant may be traced. Among the things studied in Botany, are seeds, structure of plant, flowers, Thallophytes (Algae and fungi), the Pteridophy-tes (Fern, horsetails, and club mosses) Gymnosperms and amos-perms. This subject is taken up in the Freshman class. PHYSICS In the- course of everyday life a number of things happen which we see but in the process do not fully understand; objects change shape, taste, or looks, and often disappear. These may be defined in the study of Physics, which is a science that treats of the properties of different substances and the changes that take place within or between bodies and it investigates the conditions under which such changes occur. Physics is offered in the Junior year and two credits arc given for a year’s work. CHEMISTRY Chemistry is given in the Senior year. Now when Pure Food and cleanliness are talked of more than ever before it is very necessary to have some knowledge of chemistry. Chemistry is very useful in the study of medicine, domestic science and other such subjects. It deals with substances and the changes they undergo. It takes up the properties and preparations of many elements and compounds which are very common. There arc three periods of recitation and four of laboratory each week. Two credits are offered in this subject. PHYSIOLOGY Physiology, the study of the Human body and all of its organs, is a very practical study, for according to the modern ideas, diseases come from the lack of ability to care for the human body. One of the essential things advocated by the study of Physiology is plenty of fresh air. 'Phis subject is offered the last half of the Senior year. BOOKKEEPING Bookkeeping was first introduced into the course last year. The bookkeeping taught is designed to teach the pupil the way progressive business houses practice it. Xo time is wasted in unnecessary theorizing. The student is given actual bookkeeping work to do from the very outset, and is made to feel at all times that his work is similar in reality and importance to that which is done in the business office. Everything is made to conform to modern business customs. DOMESTIC SCIENCE Domestic Science was added to the course of the school this year. This is an exceedingly interesting as well as valuable study. During the first year’s work, the plan is to give a training in manipulation and a good working knowledge of the composition of food and the principles of cookery. The work is planned so as to be natural, helpful and logical. There is one eighty minute recitation period per week. The girls have the privilege of eating anything cooked in class. Each girl is required to pay two dollars for a year of cooking. A half credit is given for each semester of work. Four credits arc offered. MANUAL TRAINING The Manual Training room of the X. M. H. S. is a source of pleasure to almost every boy in the school, for there he is given a chance to work out for himself that piece of furniture which he most desires to undertake. This year the work is under the supervision of Mr. II. J. Beach ley. Their work makes them more interested in music as they effort and time. The articles made are library tables, porch swings, pedestals, footstools, music cabinets, chairs, davenports, tables, stand lamps, and hall trees. HARMONY The Harmony class this year is rather small, having only three members, but that does not keep them from doing good work. In this class the girls learn how to write little original melodies and to harmonize those taken from other composers. Their work makes them more interested in music as they learn how it is made. DRAWING There are two drawing classes, the Freshman class and the Advanced class. The latter is made up of Juniors and Seniors. As usual, the work done has been very good and the pictures were many of them exhibited in Room 1. Work has been done in pastels, charcoal, pencil and water-colors, and the subjects were still-life views, landscapes, and portraits drawn from life. The pictures were placed in the lower hall in the spring, and later in the public library at the same time the manual training and sewing exhibits were made. SEWING 'I'he sewing department of the N. M. II. S. is under the supervision of Miss Pauline Freeman. In the Freshman class the girls made big aprons and some undergarments. In the Sophomore year they also made the undergarments and during the latter part of the year some of the girls made middy blouses. In the Junior ami Senior year the girls were given the privilege of making any thing they chose, some even making dresses. □ □ □ Ptble For a long time the school authorities have felt the need of the study of the Bible in the school because of the unfamiliarity of most high school students with the Bible. This year our attention was called to the plan whereby school authorities may give high school credit for work done in Bible Study outside of school. 'Phis plan was arranged by a joint committee of the Indiana State Teachers’ Association and the High School Section of the Indiana State Teachers' Association, and was approved by the State Board of Education on January 22. 1915, and supplemented bv a resolution of the State Board of Education on the same date. The essentials of the plan are as follows: (1) One semester credit may be given toward graduation (2) To receive credit the pupil must pass a written examination, which was held here on May 13. Representatives from the cities adopting plan constitute a board of control, a committee of five who conduct the examinations. I he examination consists of (1) questions of fact based on a syllabus, and (2) questions of literary and historical values. Questions of theological interpretation are strictly avoided. The syllabus has four parts, two on the Old Testament and two on the New Testament. Any two parts may be taken for credit. The North Manchester Board of Education adopted the following resolution: “Resolved that on consent of the State Department of Education, credit for outside Bible study be given in the high school in accordance with the plan approved by the State Board of Education. This plan is now in operation in various places representing every section of the state, including township, town and large city high schools. A class of ten members was organized here at the beginning of the second semester. Rev. J. J. Fischer was secured as instructor for this work and the class has been very fortunate in securing one so well fitted to give this instruction. The class meets each Wednesday evening at the close of school and has been earnestly making a study of the OKI Testament. The interest has been so good and the success beyond expectations, that Bible Study has put itself in the high school curriculum to stay. Bei ( ermanistisictje (Sesrllscfjaft This, the second year of this organization, opened with great prospects. Under the auspices of Miss Fisher it has greatly advanced and been very helpful to the German students. The meetings are held the first and third Wednesdays of each month with varying programs such as debates, spelling matches, songs and games. A penalty is attached to the speaking of anything but German. The debate, “Yerchlossen das die Kuh mehr Brauchbar ist als das Pferd,” was judged by Miss Moore and Miss Martin who decided in favor of the negative side. We have played games such as “Kohlcneimer” and the one which tells of the lady who has an old hen to sell and in return we all cackled merrily. The Chrismas party which was held at the Odd Fellows Hall, for the entire German population of the high school was another interesting feature. The halls were beautifully decorated with crepe paper, evergreens and Christmas bells. In the center of the reeption room was a brilliantly lighted Christmas tree trimmed in strung pop-corn, candles and Christmas spangles of all kinds. The supper was strictly German and consisted of Kaflfee, Pretzel, Pfcfferkuchcn, etc. W e have enjoyed ourselves to the fullest extent at all our gatherings and meetings in spite of the fact that we have only one “man.” President.......................

A picture was also taken of the entire crowd. Many unique jokes and stunts were played by the talented Seniors. After the supper was served, ghost stories were told. I he remainder of the evening was spent in dancing after which all retired at a late hour. On October 30, the Sophomores gave a Hallowe’en party for themselves at the home of Miss Mac Gable. After spending the evening in playing games, they regretfully departed. The Freshman class gave a party at the Masonic Hall on October 30. Everyone was delighted with the “good cats, which the girls served. Considering the fact that this party was given by such young children every one had an exceedingly enjoyable time. On Saturday evening. December 11, the Seniors were the guests of the Juniors at a party given at the opera house. The hall was beautifully decorated in red and green. The guests were seated at small tables which were arranged in a circle. After a three course supper was served, the tables were removed and several games and jokes were played, which were followed by dancing. €bentsi I he German ( lub gave a party for the High School German students at the Masonic Hall on December 18.

It resulted from a contest of selling annuals, the winning side being entertained by the unlucky losers. They met at Burdges Book Store and from there they went to the movies. They were then taken to the home of Alccsta Dunlap, where tomato boullion, wafers and olives were served. From here they progressed to Duane DcLancey’s. After singing many of the popular songs they were served with the second course of the supper which consisted of sandwiches, baked beans, potato chips, pickles and coffee.

They then returned to the opera house and enjoyed themselves during the dances. The music was furnished by Miss Mary Rockwell. All departed at a late hour claiming that the boys were royal entertainers. The Seniors gaye a jolly box social for the high school April 28, at the High School building. The boxes were attractively decorated and were auctioned off by R. R. Batton, who divides his time equally between auctioneering, teaching and law stpdy-ing. A program was given by the different talented members of the High School. The customary Junior-Senior Reccptiou was given to the Seniors of 1916. April 30, at the Sheller Hotel. The Senior class colors and flowers were artistically placed in the rooms and each Senior was presented with a beautiful rose. A five course dinner was served.

Substitute Baseball in the schools is highly recommended in this part mi of the state, consequently at the beginning of the term nearly every high school boy was out as candidate trying for a position on the team. We selected Mr. Batton as manager and Clure McPherson as captain. Several weeks were earnestly devoted to diligent practice and then our manager secured several games with strong teams such as Laketon, Huntington and Manchester. Two games were played with Laketon which were very close and exciting. The score being 4 to 3 each time in favor of Laketon. Huntington and the college however, were not so successful for we won from each of them in hard fought games by a score of 2 to 1 and 3 to 1 respectively. By another year under the equally good training, we will have one of the best teams in Northern Indiana. ®enms Tennis is a greatly favored sport in this High School. This year there were many more applicants than there had been the preceding years. At the first meeting Mae Lefforge was elected president and Doris Ebbinghaus, secretary and treasurer. The grounds were put into splendid condition and we arc now looking forward to the prospects of a new court. Because of the lack of time and practice the association has not as yet entered any tournament, but hope to do so in the near future. There is a man in our school-house Who’s neither cross nor gay; A man who never docs a thing. But work and loaf all day. The janitor, I'm speaking of. Whose name is Mr. Creager; He sweeps, he dusts, and then he rests, And all with much endeavor. 'Pis true, he does not always suit. We sometimes suffocate; And also chill and sometimes freeze, But this must be our fate. Now Mr. Creager is all-right. He is not great or grand, But just the same, to all of us, The janitor is a man! He’s just a jolly fellow. This janitor of ours: And this fine jolly fellow Has worked for us for hours. BetiatP Top row, left to right—Lester Coe, Hubert Little, R. R. Batton, Bland Isenbarger, Cecil DeLancey. Bottom row. left to right—Trcva Eikenbcrry, Duane DeLancey, Hazel Flick, Nora Shock, Tilman Rice, Mabel Gcyer. The debate work this year under the supervision of Mr. Batton, has been very beneficial to the members. Although we have no debates with other high schools, we have had several interesting debates between the members of the society. At the beginning of the year, just after the debate society had been organized, Mr. Batton gave the members a good drill in Parliamentary law. The society decided that a president would be elected every month, and for the drill, should carry on a regular business meeting at every session of the society. But the society, having no other purpose in view, due to the fact that it was unable to obtain debates with other high schools, was dissolved during the latter part of the year. Bland Isenbarger, one of the members, however, became interested in a contest which was in the nature of an informal debate, upon the subject of “Municipal Home Rule.” This contest is carried on between the different commissioned High Schools of the state under the supervision of the Extension Division of the Indiana University. sTiSr xTffifr 3fofee department Hist.
