Four Happy years together By storm and sunshine tried, ln changing wind and weather We've roughed it side by side But the time is drawing nigh, We are fledged and we must fly. We are leaving our schooldays behind us and passing out into the broader stream of life. As the years pass by, may this book, with its old familiar faces of teachers and class- mates, keep fresh the memories of the pleasant days we have spent together. 232325 1 9 1 6 S3555 8909071 2,'gZ3y2.I cm NU' IS-A'N'C'EL 13 R353 THE STAFF.

At the close of this year, Prof. Robinson retires from the position which he has filled so ably for the past fifteen years. We consider our- selves fortunate to have spent the whole of our school life under his kind- ly guidance. ln all dealings with childish pranks he never forgot that he was once a boy himself. His influence upon the lives of our city is something that cannot be measured. He knew the joy the sculptor knows When plastic to the lightest touch His clay wrought model slowly grows To that fine grace desired so much.

F fv r EVERETT SHIREIVIAN. ffnobbyr r His favorite recreation is a gentle slumber in the as- sembly and he has an air of drowsy abstraction which is only thrown off in the heat of a basketball game. He is not- ed for his contagious smile and loved for his power of add- ing humor and freshness to an English recitation. In class he may be seen earnestly reading from his text-book. Basketball Team, President IV, Class Play. WALTER ACH ESON 'fwaw' Arena He entered this High School from Brazil in the junior year, and when the excitement created by his advent had subsided, immedi- ately got into the swing of affairs. He gains much admiration from the fresh and innocent youthful- ness of his face. He is a noted ten- or. As leading lover ofthe class play he displayed hitherto conceal- ed feeling and ability. orrxbvs LEw1s. I Gladys is a charming, lovable girl who has maintained a cheerful sweetness through all the trials from Freshman to Senior. Gladys will be remembered gratefully by the authors and poets of M. H. S. who who have delighted to enshrine her in clouds of romance. And the strange thing is that with all this she is still a pupil to rejoice the hearts of the teachers. 33232391 9 1 G 46.53 55 'Qs ZJ- Zia NUISA CEB me SS N WAYNE Aeeorir You were a schoolboy, what beneath the sun so like a monkey? He is a mechanical genius who has nearly perfected a new make of automobile. He has an abiding faith in Providence Which often carries him through a hard place where a night's study would not. Also he is in love, deeply and hopelessly, though at most times he makes an effort to conceal it. In the latter years of his sojourn at M. ll. S., he has formed an unbreakable friend- ship with B. O. lllilliains. . FRANK ADAMS The man that blushes is not quite a brute. Until this year a shy and quiet young bud, but lately has blossomed forth won- derfully, having real cases which startled the whole school. FLOYD AYRES t'Pytl1agoras None but himself can be his parallel. 'Phe only really political man in the class. Besides politics, he also goes in for psy- chology, and having made a11 exhaustive study of this subject, is able to judge of one's thoughts by the laying on of the hands method. He has an air of profound wisdom which often convinces the teachers when his words fail to do so. Many have earnestly sought his love but it is not known that he ever accepted their ad- vances. lll+ll,lCN BAIN She is a phantom of delight. ' A gay and cheerful girl who is never bothered hy twinges of conscience over lessons or work of any sort. She has an ever ready smile for her friends a.11d is inueh liked hy many ot' her classmates. She takes an especial delight in all social functions. 23232 9 '1 'SSWSSLS 253'Z5y'Z,Qj ' Za N'U'1sTxNc'E' 1292535 JULIET BALDWIN 4'Baldy She walks in beauty. Juliet has been a member of our class since her return from Franklin in 1914. She is airecognized leader and no scocial event in this city is complete without her presence. ALICE BREEDLOYE How tall among her sisters and how fair. Alice is noted foriher rose leaf complex- ion and shy sweetness- She is a girl who makes no pretentious of importance in the class but quietly goes to work and accom- plishes things. She has a desire to make those about her happy and at ease and so is always gracious and graceful. It has been said by a dependable authority that she is the most beautiful girl in Centerton. BYRON BURTON Ah, why should life all labor be? A gol darn good feller! Bud is a firm believer in the rest cure and is living up to that belief. His mind is usually fresh and vigorous for inventing new and startling forms of mischief. Sev- eral remarkable experiences, shared with the Editor of the Nuisance, have cemented a firm friendship between the two. He has a dread of appearing weak or spinster like and therefore exerts himself to be careless. IMOGENE CLARK Of him she thinks she can not think too much. Noted for the fact that she came from Coldwater and is still loyal to it. She finds -much consolation, however, in the youths of Martinsville and her one objection is, that more of them do not occupy seats near her in the assembly hall. On account of her extreme friendliness, she is ungrate- fully considered by some, to be a trouble- some creature. Her greatest talent lies in corresponding with unwilling recipients. 4 593261 9 Q1 6 QS 5 'QZEQZJ Z9 NUISAN CE 65353 M 'Ni' 'V ,Rt 5 J Vila., llt'v' l A PAULINE CGMER With thy sweet smile and silver voice. Nancy in the class play. Pauline entered our ranks from Arizona as a Sophomore. She is a proud, digni- Iied damsel who has ambition to rule the world and never lacks that splendid quality of self-confidence. p DORIS CORDELL Unblemished let me live, or die unknowng O grant an honest fame, or grant me none! This is an girl who conscientiously does her assigned work and is therefore a pleas- ure to her teachers. She has spent her whole high school career in M. H. S. much to tl1e credit of our class. WINIFRED CRAXVFURD She that was ever fair and never proud Had tongue at will and yet was never loud. She has not been with ns through the entire H. S. course, but soon becalne identi- Iierl with us after her advent. This cheer- l'nl person is known to all H. S. students by her ' 'perpetual slni le. l-I llTll FERGUSK IN ' ' Furgy ' ' Her virtues walked their narrow roundg Nor made a pause, nor left a void. She is a cahn and quiet maiden, above all things avoiding' publicity and notoriety. Hut hehind all her gentleness is solid pur- pose and she is certain to- succeed in her ann for she constantly strives to make her- self ellieieut in this one thing. In time of stress and exeitenment it will be soothing to think haelc upon her soft voice, her mild Face and her enrling hair.

Fletch has spent four years among us C in a cool calculating way which has brought much credit to herself. She has, seemingly UI without effort, attained that decorum and poise which so many of us desire. Com- mon sense and perseverance are distinct- ive features of her character. ELSIE ERITCH Her hair had a breezy curly Her brown eye was merry and Wild. Elsie wandered into our midst as little ones generally do, but stayed to prove her- self an Jzssential to the class. She is one of those diminutive persons who make up for lack of size by untiring application and an unlimited store of dynamic energy. She has a pleasing disposition which gives her an added distinction in the eyes of her classmates and friends Q gentlemen in- cludedb. 1 LAWRENCE FRYE Imp of all mischief, heaven alone knows how 9 you learned it alll He is Without doubt the most affection-fl N ate boy in this High School, and his gentle manners distinguish him from others. He has talents which should be utilized on the stage for he bears much resemblance to Charlie Chaplin, in action and appearance. He is a remarkably deep thinker but usu- ally keeps the fact concealed. HELEN FUSELMAN Dancing! I love it, night or day, f There's naught on earth so jolly! She is one of those girls Who hides under a demure exterior, a heart longing for ad- venture and gay life. She loves to sing and her ambition is to follow Ellen Terry as the greatest emotional actress. Indiana is too small for her high hopes, and there- fore she is desirous of seeking an educa- tion and many lovers in the State of Illi- nois.

V Dewey is an all round athlete, starring' in Basketball, Football and Baseball. He has been one of the mainstays of our Hasketball during the past two seasons, and his absence from the lloor will he deeply missed next season. He will proh- ahly pursue his studies at Butler. RAY HAASE lil 73 V Far from gay cities and the ways of men. .X joy to those who are compelled to act as hill collectors, for he is always there with the gratifying' kale. He is noted for his retieenee and shy manners, but it is said hy some that these are only as- sumel to eonfeal the fact that he is pre- paring himself for a puhliospeaker. He will likely succeed for he has survived nine niontns ot' note Writing' hy Senior girls. EDITH HANNA Happy am I. from care Pm free! Why ar'n't they all contented like me? l'repare:lness is her inotto. Ready for anything' from storining Blaekstones to a tlerman test on Monday morning. Her greatest antipathy is Sophoniore boys, and her goal in life, Seymour. She is almost sure to make fame for herself as a trainer ol' the youthful idea. She is easily shocked and has an intense sense of propriety. KIIHIAM ll.XS'l'lNtlS Nature did her so much right That she scorns the help of art. Whole-souled and ever ready to lend a , helping' hand, she has endeavored to make lite pleasant for those about her. ller quiet reserved and unassuming' manner has won I'or her a plaee in the affections of all Vw ,l .

She is not likely to be lost in the haze of the future, for she carries aloft a crimson headlight, never extinguished. She has been a faithful basketball fan and she knows how to appreciate a good Civics lesson. Coming generations at M. H. S. will lose by not having her on their com- mittees and geography excursions. Her favorite food is pepper. HELEN JOHNSON My tender youth was never yet attained With any passion of inflaming love. Helen's greatest characteristic is a sense of humor, which often overmasters her in- liorn love for decorum. She has shown a talent for match making and has an ambi- tion for conducting a matrimonial bureau. However, with all her love for gayety and romance, she has always been a satisfac- tion to her teachers and can proudly boast that she has never caused a single white hair for Mr. Hines. CLARA KIRK She was the mildest mannered maid. Clara IS not known for any boldness, nor for having an ever wagging tongue but on the contrary she is noted for her modest and retiring ways. SHIRLEY KRINER e Shanks X ' Phe love of praise. howe'er concealed by art, ' Reigns- more or less and glows in his heart. This is our rightfully all-state center who led his team to victory time after time, both at home and abroad. Wlien in his togs, his figure spells basket-ballf, He is a natural leader of others, which, along with his many other fine qualities accounts for his unbounded popularity. His athletic fame isn't wholly confined to basket-ball, for he is good anywhere he may beg on the gridiron, the diamond, the track or the field. 5,333.4 9 1 4373 Q Q, Z,f ze NUIS'-A CEB Q3 SS RAYMOND LOUDER There was a little man, and he had a little sand, And he said, Little Soul, let us try, try, try! He has been known to call his own name vociferously on several occasions, not for notoriety but because he was our fanious yell leader, surpassed by none. Many times his inspiring pep on the yelling line buoyed up our teain to victory, and his popularity will long be renienibered by all the students who attended M. H. S. in the year '15-'16, MIRIAM MASON None but an author knows an author's cares. Une of the inost able literary nieinbers of tl1e class, ranking high in all of her studies, but especially those in which she can use her literary ability. She intends to study landscape gardening at Purdue University. MARY MCCAMMACK She would not with perernptory tone Assert the nose upon her face. She has been a follower of the red and blue for all her four years, though living in Illinois. She is not hilarious, but very fond of frolics, provided they are not too boisterous liking such things as quiet hike, spreads and lnoving pictures. She is a modest girl disliking show of any kind, and therefore she never attempts to make display of her brilliant wit. M A BEL McKINLEY I am content, I do not care, Wag as it will, the world for me. She looks with equal scorn upon labor, solenlnity and sentinientality. She be- lieves in the prevention cure, and to ward ofl' her old enemy, fat, has acquired the habit of hiking long distances. She is a pleasant person to have around in case of depression, for she is uniformly careless and good natured, hoping for cheerful end- ings. - 352320 9 '1 657355 'Ha 'ZQI'- ' Zia NUIS'--A cE e'6S2S6S GERTRUDE MYERS Well, miss, I Wonder Where you live, I wonder What's your name? Abounds in unique ideas which usually find expression in English. She has an af- fectionate disposition, tinged with melan- choly, which she strives to overcome. The World and its Ways are a continual source of Wonder to her. She has a great deal of self-possession which is a valuable asset to her. R-UTH PEARCY 'Few sorrows hath she of her own. Life is not dull for Ruth, for the joys, troubles, and experiences of others form her greatest concern and delight. She is especially interested in Junior boys, Soph- omore boys, Freshmen boys and Senior boys. Her greatest asset is a vivid and ever ready blush. German is distasteful to her soft voice. BENTON PORT If naebody cares for me, I'll care for naebodyf' One of the best business men of the class. He has a peculiar sense of humor Which makes him a very agreeable person to be associated With. He is also very prominent in photographic circles. Altho Business Manager of the Nuisance, he is also the Staff Photographer, and has lost several cameras in attempting to take pic- tures of a few members of M. H. S. LOUISE RATTS Too gentle of meen she seemed. This lady makes her advent, 11ot from the Smokehouse Village north of us, but from the city of Herbemont, thus her pecu- liar air of lofty indifference to tl1e small concerns of this place. She has the appear- ance of cold disdain and uninterest to the concerns of this planet, and, it might be added, when pressed to it will stand up for Woman's rights. 2523201 Q 1 6 65:3 SS 723 Zpf'- ' me NU1sANt'c'E' 'Q'-1513955 -V- 'W V f I.

She is also known for her his- tronic ability and she has always reflected credit on her class in any dramatic event which she has participated in. r JAMES J. REID Jim All the great men are dying and I don't feel very well myself. The Editor is a mystery that has never heen solved and is therefore very interest- ing' to certain of the Senior girls. He has a natural thirst for knowledge and will heconie a :nan of achievements. Could llestiny speak, it would undoubtedly 1'e- late an interesting' account of this young n1an's future, for he will certainly figure in either political or literary circles or in both. LVCILE SARTOR She is a queen in all her ways. A popular nzeinber of the class a.nd a horn leader. Une of the few found in High School with the initiative necessary to run a class successfully. She is always willing' to work for the good of her class and her el't'orts in this line are never in rain. l utnre classes will miss much if they do not find a person in their midst to take up the work of this girl. BESSIE STEELE Bess Unthinking, idle, wild and young, I laughed and danced and talked and sung. 'llhe Senior lady of Mystery. She is characterized hy her penetrating' glance and the fascination she exerts over certain Senior youths. She has no affinity for the useful practicalities of Domestic' Science or llookkeeping, preferring' the bright. light of the stage. She has proved herself a success as an agent, outselling' the ma- jority in theatre tickets. 26329 9 '1 6543555 Z53'Z5y2J'- -' Zia NU1sAN'c E 'f'6S3g3B.S THOMAS STEWART So young, Cfor as yet I am not twentyly' Tommy never created any sensations, neither was he unpopular. Very reticent and unpretending, he is found at home in the machine shop where he is of greatest value to society, being a mechanic by na- ture. Every man hath his gifts so since he never roguishly broke the laws of the school, we may feel confident that he will develop into a good citizen. GUY TERHUNE Twelve years ago I was a boy, A happy boy.- . t He is steadily clnnbing' the ladder. The chief aim of his life to become a noted pedagogue. Many boys of the lower classes are his intimate acquaintances, bound in the strongest ties of friendship. He is noted for his ability on the diamond, having' spent many happy hours in that popular recreation. DOROTHY TEVIS Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies. Our latest acquisition. She created quite a Hstirl' upon her arrival and, still occupies all the thoughts of one of the most prominent members of the Senior class. MERYLE TRUAX None like her, none. i A girl of notable charm and sweetness who is the solace and standby of the Civics teacher. She came here last year from Monrovia, but is now recognized as a part of us. She looks upon life with due seri- ousness, but is undecided Which course to follow her career, whether the shining lights and awe inspired audiences, as a concert pianist, or a blue apron and cake pan as a cheerful housekeeper. 4 5.39324 9 '1 5573 Q Q, 2,5--ig NUis E.N'c'li:' 'QS 92535 MARY WERSHING XVersh One vast, substantial, smile.

But genius is always superior to circumstances, so Emerson says, and Si exemplified the saying by always having an abundance of the comforts of life and plenty of money. His wife always appeared in a new dress at each annual protracted meeting, his boys wore store shoes, and always. had powder in their gourds and shot in their pouches. As for Si himself he owned a breech-loading gun even a drummer might not disdain, and used real smokeless powder cartridges. His neighbors were told by visiting friends from across the river in Amite county that Si actually paid two and a half cents apiece for these, and the neighbors heard the statement with unconcealed wonder at such evidences of wealth. VVhen collections were taken up for what the preacher called Hthe spreading of the gospel of the sweet Savior among the heathens in China and the pore Catholics in New Orleans, Si always put in a dollar, Mrs. Hardsook fifty cents, the boys a dime each and little Lodelia, the only girl in the family, a silver quarter. In consequence Si passed for a deeply re- ligious man and the parson always called him Brother Hardsook. Nor was Si's generosity purely ecclesiastical. He had been frequently known to leave the railroad with as many as two one gallon jugs of licker and arrive home with the jugs, owing to a liberal sampling on his own part and a generous distribution of the same to all he met, who universally at iirst refused to drink, but finally consented, being as how Si offered the licker and they would Hmoist a littler not as they were wine bibbers and gluttonous, but would take a swig for the good of their inwards Most of his neighbors drank what was offered them and asked no ques- tions and made no remarks. But some of them were deeply and audibly perplexed as to where Si got all his money. Certain circumstances con- nected with Si would linger in their minds and what was worse break 23324 9 1 6 6573555 cjzayzpf- ' my NUISANN c'E'B 5135265 out on their tongues. 'llhey would comment how the neighbors of Si had their cattle disappear just when they were most titten for market. But in that great uul'eneed country what was there to prevent cattle from straying? Dinah critters, said Si, are mighty biggity and roaming- some, anyhow, and will sometimes just rush to their ruin. Sometimes in the fall country stores near him were robbed and their sales hlown open just after the money had been received from the town lianks to pay for the incoming cotton. It was a strange coincidence that after such rohheries Si had more money and distributed more t'licker than usual. But Si said, lite is full of such coincidences and mystery, aeeording to the scriptures. ttlieastwisef' added he, that is what the parson says the words say, and I ainlt the man to dispute a licensed min- ister ot' the gospel, nor is you, nuther, neighborln he would ask of his listener as he loungingly toyed with the trigger of his famous gun. t'No, indeed, replied the neighbor with alacrity, edging off a little. l don tt dispute the parson nuther you. You air hoth right as fer as l know on. Still some folks would prove too leaky of tongue in regard to Si's alliairs, and it was strange how the corncrihs and cotton houses of these measly hack-eappei-s as Si called them, had a hahit of taking fire in the night. W lint one day the grand jury actually indicted Si For grand larceny. He was aeeused ol' stealing ten head of cattle from Mart Swiggles. The chief witness against Si was Dune Swarrington, a good-natured farmer too stupid to he dishonest, whose farm adjoining the road over which Si had to drive the eattle to New Hrleans. The testimony was strong for the state. Si eonld almost hear the grating ofthe penitentiary doors as they swung open to reeeiye him. lt was an awful experience for a Chris- tian, he used to say in al'ter years, hut then he would add, Hthe Lord loveth whom he ehasesf' Si went upon the stand and testilied on his own liehalf. He acknowl- edged that he sold the eattle. lt was true he was a farmer, he said, look- ing' at the l'armer jurors, a stoekmau it they would. isle was uneducated. too, no hanger-around ol' lawyers and eourtrooms, for he thought an hon- est l'ariner's plaee was in the field, and not loafing around among them that represented eorporations and merehants and so he did not know much law hut he was a l'hrislian and an allianee man, and he hoped he did know what was riglit, il' he did not know what was lawful, 'ttwo mighty different things, he said, as some among you knows. what has had homes closed ZQWZQ '1 S3555 253'Z3yZ92 ' 72 Z NUISA CEB S13 SEB out under deeds of trust for debts you never made and things you never bought. The sale of the cattle, he went on, had come about this way. He was going to New Orleans with a fine herd. Among them was a most likely male. I wish you could have seen him jedge, he said deferentially to that niagnate. He had great shiney horns, same as if they were polished up for powder horns, and curls like a city gal right down between the horns. And was as high steppin' as a preacher or a railroad conductor. As he was driving this male by Martls pasture, Mart's heifers had loped out and mixed with his cattle. He had called for Mart, but he could not make Mart hear. He, himself had driven the heifers out of the cattle at least four times, but they just would come back. The attractions of that male was simply terrible, no preacher was more powerful among the sisters. lt looked like witchcraft or hoodoo or something to that warn't natural. Finally he tired out driving such contrary minded brutes. A man can't be expected even by the law, to spend l1is whole time fooling with a passell of cows when he's got an honest living to make. So he was forced to let Mart's old heifers go plumb to thunder, but, would they believe it, they had actually followed him clear to New Grleans. Wliat was he to do with them? Leave them in the streets to be taken up and appropriated by the city folks 1? Not much! They already got a plenty of country folks' stuff anyway, by olosing out mortgages and deeds of trust without just making them a present of the finest cattle in Chicot county. So he had been compelled to sell those heifers along with his own. Moreover, he was tender hearted a.nd could not bear to pa.rt them from that likely male. It was true he had never offered Mart the money but he had not had time to do so. lN7itl1 l1is wife sick, and Lodelia puning around all the time, and grass just a-whooping in his cotton, he had not been able to go over to Mart's and take the money. He was going to do so on the very next day, when the sheriff had come and jailed him. To show you gentlemen, he concluded, Hthat I hain't got hard feel- ing again, Mart, though l ain't saying he ainlt treated me wrongful, l will givehim the vally of them heifers here and now. XVith that he flung the money on the table in the courtroom. The jury retired and soon brought in a verdict of not guilty. As tl1e crowd was pouring out of the courtroom Si nudged Dunc on the arm and said, So, you swore again' me did you, Dunc? HT had to, Si. l war on oath to tell the truth. Z-'iw 9 1 66553555 23Z5yZJ ' Zia NUISAN 693535 That's alright about the truth,'l said Si sarcastically. We all knows you just love the truth, just fattens on it. And I ainit denying that the truth is a good thing in its place, but I want to leave With you, that the truth don't stop no lead. .Ks he walked homeward Dunc decided that a change of air would be good for his wit'e's lungs so he sold out his little property at sacriiice and moved to Louisiana. Une night after the family prayers Si's oldest boy said, Pap, when are you going to kill that houn' ot' a Dunc Swarrington? When the crops are laid hy, Sonnie. I'm too busy now to indulge in pleasure, husiness fust, my lmoy. Une morning when the last furrow had been plowed and there was no blacksmith work to he done. Si said to his wife, 'tMan1rny, hand me my gun, I guess I've got time to kill Dune now. A two days ride hrought hint to Dunc's place. He slipped through the brush to where Dune was plowing.

Oh, my neckf' I con- tinued, endeayoring to straighten said member, much to my -it discomfort. But at that moment my eyes fell on my surroundings, and surely a more dumbfounded person never drew breath on this ter- restrial ball. So startled was I that perforce I must resort to that old yet common remedy of rubbing one's optics. I'll be swiblergenomerated, I needs must ejaculate, and turned my gaze from the room to my arms. They would not move! Furthermore, and adding fuel to my inflamed mind, they were bound hard and fast, swathed to my body with many folds of dusty linen. I then would have rubbed my polar extremity but for the fact that said useful limbs, the arms, were in such a peculiar state of juxtaposition with relation to my body. So I again ejaculated, I'll be swiblergenomerated, but this is an un- pleasant state to wake up in! And it was. But now my amazement was further heightened, for in close prox- imity to my person, some voices were articulating excitedly in a tongue unknown to me. Craning my head as far forward as my position would permit, I was able to look down upon the objects of my attention. For the third time my arms unconsciously strove to reach my head.

Thirty-five theses have been written as to its probable use, but as yet nothing has definitely been deter- mined. 9 ' I gazed at the rusty, tiine-worn inechanisni inutely. My conipanion evi- dently enjoyed the task of elucidating concerning his relics, 'fhis, as he was the superintendent of the inuseuin, he informed nie. I now noticed a keg, a keg of the variety l inight add, that were hauled through the streets of yore, behind huge percherons and lowered then into niannnoth cellars beneath foul-odored apartments. Above, the contents of the kegs were sold by portly bartenders in dirty aprons to rnore portly gentlemen in the various uniforins of their class. That,'l rny guide announced, pointing to the aforesaid keg, is an an- tique Whose great age is beyond question. It is a relic of barbarisin, of an era at the dawn of history when nian began to think hiinself an inde- structable organization of indestructable parts and acted accordingly.

To my amazement the girl giggled! Giggled in my presence, Thomas VV. I-Ieadrick, of Chicago! Astonishing! But fortunately my host interrupted, thus, My dear friend, she does not understand a single syllable you utter. She can only speak the Pur- phekt language. I, perhaps, am the only person drawing breath who has learned the ancient tongue called English. She can recite for you, though, if you please, Cut, Oh, Cut My Leg Away! And then he broke into that peculiar speech that had so astonished me before. But the girl suddenly stepped forward and with a peculiar slur over the FNS, recited the poem, Cut, Oh, Cut My Iieg Away. Thank you, I said when she finished. My guide translated this, and the girl having replied, he now made this startling speech. W She says she hates you. You are too tall and you have such funny colored eyes! He said this with much embarrassment and finishing took me by the arm and hurriedly left the room. Of course I knew she was much taken with me, by her speech, so fell to wondering about her appearance, not having been able in the dazzling light of the room to see her to my satis- faction. Mechanically I bathed, clothed myself, and was led to the hall again, scarce noting the procedure. I again found myself in the presence of the girl, and my eyes being bet- ter accustomed to the light, I was able to note her appearance.

A S she looked in tl1e mirroribefore descending the stairs to meet her guests Lucile Starke was conscious with a glow of satisfaction that she looked very well. The shimmering J - .1 green of her gown brought out gracefully her girlish I-li slenderness. Above thelow cut bodice a thin gold chain gleamed, two jadelbracelets clinked on one rounded arm. She smiled back at the vision of her own joyously flushed face. And giv- ing the velvet rose at her belt a final pat, she went slowly down the stairs. As she stepped into Mrs. Jones' pleasant living room, the door was just opening on Mrs. Jackson and Miss Bagley, Lucile entered and greeted them gracefully. Frequently after that the little bronze doorbell rung and smiling ladies were ushered in. The bright room was soon full of gaily chatting visitors and Mrs. Jones in accordance with .her own individual custom at tea parties, wheeled among them her beautifully appointed tea wagon, the pride of her heart. As the cart passed her and Lucile helped herself to a cup, her hostess noticed sitting quietly between her and the stout Mrs. Harrison a plain, unobtrusive, small person. She flushed a little. Lucile, she said gaily, You have not met Miss Fleu yet? She is one of our few young peo-ple, she finished with an effort. . For Lucile had suddenly clutched her cup so startedly that the hot liquid splashed over the saucer. Her eyes broadened. Her breathing became obviously quicker. She turned her face striving for cahn, upon Miss Fleu. .. Pardon me, she murmured faintly, Miss Fleuf' I had 11ot expected to see you here so soon-I thought-7' t'You must be mistaken, Lucile, Mrs. .Tones interrupted, this is our own quiet Angelica.

I am sorry I was so troublesome, and I hope I have not hurt your feelings fatally by recalling sad memories to you. Miss Fleu nodded gravely bewildered. Lucile tremblingly took a sip of tea, and Mrs. Jones interposed a remark on the weather in an effort to detach the glances of her guests from Lucile and Miss Fleu. 232325 9 6 N3 55 'Ma Zpf'-' Za NU'I'S-AN-CE' '25 Q 5f6S Lucite had noticed her before, a q11iet, little tl1i11g' with a plain face, Slll0Otll hrown hair Zllltl hrown eyes witl1 a rather wistful desire in their depths.

And Mrs. Jones assisted by others of her guests resolutely turned the conversation into different channels. IN7hen finally the last guest had gone, Mrs. Jones pushed the tea cart out of sight, closed the door resolutely and turned to Lucile. Now do tell me, she demanded, what was the matter with you this afternoon, and what mystery is connected with Angelica Fleu? Iiucile's face assumed a painful eypression. Please don 't ask me, Aunt Erma, she implored, for I can 't tell you and I will only incur your anger by a refusal. 77 But your telling me isn't like those others Iiucilef' Mrs. Jones urged. I am your aunt and you are my guest and I feel it my duty to know. You see, Angelica is part of the society of this town, and-well, she con- cluded triumphantly seeing Lucile remained ohduriite. 'tIt evidently isn't very important for everyone knows Angelica is the quietest girl in town and hardly ever goes away. Iiucile faced her quietly. Remember, she said, that time a year ago when she was at Bridge- port? And at the same time-Albert-he was there, she pointed to- ward the picture. Likely it concerns him too, then, exclaimed Mrs. Jones in exasper- ation. f'In that case, I shall not he surprised whatever it is. From the way you act, I should not wonder at anything he did. Ilucile turned her face away for a moment and when she looked up again her eyes were wet. Instantly Mrs. Jones' animosity fled. She went to Iiucile. Pardon me, dearie, she begged, HI didn't mean to hurt you. Lucile drew herself gently away. Certainly, she said with dignity, It is nothing, only remember, she stipulated as she opened the door to her room, 'tthat its these quiet persons like Angelica who are likely to have the most to conceal. In her own room with the door safely closed Iiucile allowed herself ZQWZ' ' 6 QE? 5 M3yZoI -'- ze NUISAN crib S18 ES the relief of unleasing a great deal of emotion. Wfhen she was calm her lnnnllcerehiel' was a damp ball, but she wore a strange look, quite lacking in resignation as she wrote a hasty note. She went quietly out a side door to mail it. lt was addressed to David Paul Starke, who happened to be her best loved brother. 'llhe next day passed quietly and Lucile drew a breath of regret that she was fated to spend several days of uneventful quiet in the little town. Hut her predictions were not to be so. On the day following' came invitations from Miss Bagley to bring' embroidery for a quiet afternoon. liucile accepting' gladly found a subtle change somewhere. Miss Fleu instead of being' unnoticed to the point of oblivion, occupied by tacit con- sent the center of interest, or rather, this interest had a double center and liucile found herself the other. It was a novel sensation, distinctly enjoyable. .Xnd she noticed also there was a more live air about this gath- ering, an interest seemed to be between them. Lucite appreciated the sympathy given to her for her abstracted paleness, an air she had been careful to assume. But when the ladies parted, it was still with baffied euriosity. lt came to liucile with jubilant force as she telephoned her acceptance to the fourth invitation tl1e second week, that Davidsonville seemed to be awake after all. The time did not pass dully. YVith her fresh zeal in life, it was a pleasing' thing to go to one of the Davidsonville social func- tions. 'l'o meet at parties young men who regarded her with tender solici- tnde, and to see how mueh Ang'elica's new air of self respect became hers and how she enjoyed the novelty of being' sought after. Well l.uey, her aunt spoke approvingly to her one fresh morning as she lay in the hammock- You are making' quite a social success in llavidsonville. llere are invitations from Mrs. iVelch for ai lawn party, and l hope you appreciate it, for Mrs. Welch seldom gives a party, but when she does, it is sure to outshine all the ones which have been given sinee her last. She stopped rather hre-ithless and Lucile smiled as she took the softly tinted envelope l'ron' Nlrs. Jones' hand. She was glad she had not yet worn her rose eolored erepe in Davidsonvillc. She was willing to believe her aunt's assertion as they came in View ot' Mrs. W4-leh's home, the night ol' the party. The pretty lawn was strung with .lapanese lanterns underneath whose soft light strolled youths and maidens, l'tilIlIllliIt'Rllif' illnmiued. 'l'here was a little stir when Mrs. .Tones and liueile arrived, which the ZQM25 1 5 5'55 Z3 yZ Zta NUISAN-CE' Q3 S18 .SS latter was accustomedrto by this time. But she soon discovered that the interest was stronger.f The air seemed breathing with excitement. Lucile looked about her surprisedly. Mrs. IVelch hurried up presently. Listen, she said taking Iiucile's arm. Her voice vibrated with excitement. '4Don zt be too surprised at what I tell youf But Ilve brought him to time at last, you didn 7t know Albert May was my nephew, did you? IVell, I knew how you felt, I was young once, and Iguessed about this mystery of Angelica, so I wrote him a good long letter and told him about you, and to come, that it could be settled. I've mended lover's quarrels before, she laughed a little, and so he just sent a telegram sayingZhe'd come. tIe's here now. S But I can 't see him, I won't, gasped Lucile in dismay, I must. go right now. , I Q ' t'Mrs. Harrison is bringing him, Mrs. .Tones informed Lucildf detain- ing' her by tl1e arm. Here he is, came Mrs. Harrison's gay voice. 'tNow, Albert, make up with her and let us have peacefl IVith utter despair Iiucile glanced into the face above her-the original of the picture which stood on Mrs. Jones' library table. The picture of her brotherts chum which she had annexed. Alright, she heard a voice as in a dream and felt herself being led away dimly conscious that they were gazed at by the others with intense interest. At a garden seat, sheltered from the light they stopped and Lucile found her voice. Really, she told him earnestly, I did not choose that picture because it was you, but it was convenient for my purpose, and I had no idea you were connected with this little town. 'tIiisten, she stopped him, HI made a bet with my brother, that I could arouse this sleepy place to interest and I succeededf, Her voice held a rising note of triumph. ' ' Evidently, H he agreed. I did hear of Angelica Fleu before, she continued. 'tMy brother, who had been here before, told me she was the dullest girl he ever met. They surrounded her with the mystery. And I did not once say I had been in-that we had known one another. I glanced at your picture and they inferred the rest. Now, does that satisfy you W' she breathed in relief. Not at all, he disagreed, Really, I'd have liked it better the other way.

Like all the plays they have put on here, it was a success. Several members of M. H. S. took prominent parts in the cast-Charles Pat- ton, '16, Shirley Kriner, '16, Pauline Comer, '16, Dorothy Tevis, '16, For- est Thorne, '17, and Margory Rinker, '19. A number of M. H. S. girls and boys took part in the catchy choruses throughout the play. The Department Club has been instrumental in putting several success- ful shows on this year. Among others was the Lincoln Day program given at the Grace Theatre. Miss Edith Cramer, '17,itook part in this, posing as the wife of Lincoln in the living pictures. Another part of the program was an old-fashioned minuet danced by eight girls in the costumes of '63, The girls were: Misses Ruth VVoody. U51 Mabel Pringle. '18g Bessie Steele, 'll6: Alberta Smith. '17g Myrle Truax, 163 Mildred Miller, '1.7: Pauline Co- mer, '16, and Mrs. John Adam Hill. 115. Mrs. Jones deserves a great deal of credit for the way in which she trained the girls for the minnet. THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY. The Senior class play, Higbee of Harvard, was given on the evening of May 23. The play was somewhat later than usual, but it was well worth Waiting for.

The first Football Team in several years was organized and played consistently against the veter- an teams of such schools as Brazil, Greencastle, Noblesvllle and Browns- burg. Taking all into consideration, the results obtained this year were excellent, and with the experience acquired bythe boys in the past season, a championship team can be expected next fall. In basketball a team was produced that perhaps was the best in the state, and would no doubt have copped the championship had they not been the victims of a serious mis- in the games the week before.

O, yes, I grunted hack at him, And never cracked a smile, For well he knew that I was 'bout To smother all the while. I went to school and at the door I met our friendly Sue, The first thing that she said was this: Is it hot enough for you?,' I tried to smile as I walked in, But Gee VVhiz, I was sore, And as I struck the upper hall, A man stood at the door. I thought he 'd say Good morning As the teachers always do, But instead he asked the question Is it hot enough for you? I vowed I'd stay no longer there To be greeted thus all day So I put on somewhat extra speed, And made my get away. I went down to the swimming hole- Some boys were down there too, And when they saw me, they yelled out: Is it hot enough for you? I've tried in vain to get away, I've missed it every time, And now I've given up all hopes, Of any cooler clime.

Insanity is something that other people have and you haven't, for in- stance, if a poor simp does something unprecedented and in nonconform- ity with your categories, he has tto your mindi a spark of insanity wander- ing about through his mental pabulum. lVhen a person is insane he is dubbed crazy. There are times when one will admit he is crazy, for ex- ample, if you, in a moment of mental aberration, should chance to send some one's innnortal soul to the pale shades of Orcus, you and your law- yer will argue that you are off your nut. Sometimes insanity is determined by one's 'financial status, thus, if a meek little guy, with a patch the size of a pocket handkerchief sewed later- ally across the posterior region of his pantaloons, should attempt to prom- enade down the public highway barefoot and bareheaded, the consensus of opinion would be that said meek little guy was rapidly nearing the door of the boobyhatch. But on the other hand, if a man whose moniker bore a string of A 's in Dunn or Bradstreet, should walk upon his eyebrows from the postottice to the courthouse, such action would be classed as one of Mr. James Orphington Doodle's pranks and the perpetrator would only be termed eccentric. Every one has a spark of insanity somewhere in their system because the genus homo is not a perfect machine and in the best of machines the engine misses once in a while. Insanity is like a gob of powder in one's think tank and requires just the right spark to blow up the works. A man who eats three squares a day and works like sixty may be crazy as a bed- bug on politics or religion, and an otherwise perfectly rational female of the species may go into hysterics if compelled to wear the same lid two seasons: a short-sighted naturalist who knows enough to come in out of the rain may be persuaded to do a Brodie off of Lookout mountain or dive into the llead sea after a new specimen of the orangotangus spiffiicatus. lnsanity is a rare thing among animals but among humans an insane impulse onee the whim of some boob takes the form of an epidemic and becomes aeute or breaks out as a fad, custom being an unwritten law which gives a man the privilege to do many outlandish things without comment by reason ot' this universality, and a whim which has reached the debu- tante stage and makes its debut into society. lint eheer up. many a man who had peculiar ideas circulating in his dome has been termed erazy yet somehow managed to grow up and become a good citizen.

The great lecturer on the Psychology of Cosmic Disintegrationn had spoken in impressive statements, and my mind retained some of his closing Words. It is quite possible, he had said, to penetrate into the future with our human eyes. It is only the heay y imprisonment of fleshly sloth that blinds us. If one could free himself from this tyranny for a moment, and believe in himself, he could look forward, pierce the darkness, and by means of Cosmic Disintegration the future of any one would be projected upon his plane of vision. It was my desire to obtain this sight, so that I might inform myself of the future careers of a certain body of persons which is rather interesting to me, the class of 1916. Therefore, following the directions of the Wise man, I set forth to a high and lonely mountain and dwelt in solitude and frugality until the night before the Junior banquet, at which my fast was to be broken with a violent crash. Here I placed myself upon a comfortless stone and gazed intently into the darkness. The scientist had spoken truly. I seemed to be seeing a motion picture show, and as I looked I recognized that I was actually gazing into the fu- ture at people I knew. I beheld Imagen Clark entering the ollice of the Yellow Sheet Daily, . a roll of manuscript under her arm. She had married the editor of this publication and controlled the two together. Then upon a great stage I saw our old friend Raymond Lowder, the renowned tragedian of the age, even then in the act of causing the huge au- dience to melt in sobs. His words came to me, when your dear mother died. Tears blinded my sight. More cheerful was the next picture. The sun shone sweetly upon a stately Virginia home. Climbing roses veiled the porch, but I could see within its shade her who was once known as Pauline Comer. She awaited with eager joy the approach of a martial figure on horseback. It is as I thought-she never survived the Virginia summer. And the One On the horse was not Walter! No. Ile appeared in the dim light of some subterranean place, a lan- tern in his hand, bending over as he scanned the ground carefully. Was he searching for an honest man? Then he stood upright a11d I knew by the article in his hand that he was the great mushroom specialist of the day. 202320 6 'SSW C Ziywyzofi' .Zia NU1sA cEf'6Q3,Q'6S Then there unrolled a field of daisies, among which strolled two people. Eternal lovers! Giving to the world, as they had to the High School, an example of fidelity. Dorothy's dress was apple blossom pink, and Shirley's face as he bent over her was ardent as it had ever been in the old days. The field melted into the elaborate drawing-room of one of the most magnificent homes in Morgantown, where a large formal reception was pro- ceeding. The hostess was the one time Bessie Steele, married to the lead- ing financier of the city, and the society dictator. Now a vast hall, Wherein a lecturer holds his audience spellbound by his 'dery eloquence. This lecturer, famed also as the inventor of many safety appliances, is Dewey Goss, who devotes his life to the cause of Safety Firstf' A pleasant sylvan scene. Here I see more than one of my old friends. In a low and thriving cottage dwells Ruth Pearcy, married to the happy farmer, who also acts as auctioneer at box suppers. With her dwells Clara Kirk, quiet and unpretentious as ever. As neighbor to them is Ray Haase, a solitary bachelor, but we see this will not continue long, as these two shy people have almost come to an understanding. A tangled maze of colors blinds my eyes for a moment, but I see it is the Futurist Masque, headed by Helen Bain, neither is she the only follower of the dramatic art, for here in a bewildering costume of the ancient East Juliet Baldwin whirls through the swift and intricate measures of the Shehera- zadef' Here in a dim, strange smelling laboratory I behold the good joke edi- tor, Basil W'illiams. What can he be doing-peering into the smoking cru- cibles? Something noble, certainly. Ah! compounding a harmless freckle cream. Not for himself, to be sure-he never needed it-but for his old friend, Rae Jenkins. Unselfish soul! A nd she? She has forsaken her disconsolate swain in Martinsville and taken up the fascinating task of designing dresses. I behold her under the glaring sun of Peru, seeking new styles, and acquiring more freckles. Helen Fuselman, longing for a life of adventure and romance, has gone to Montana, where men are plenty and there are no old maids. I see her upon a rampant broncho, dashing across the plains in pursuit of admiring cowboys and miners. Now tall trees cast mottled shadows over the green English grass, and under the trees walk the students garbed for graduation. And here is the student Margaret Rose ffor Cambridge has opened its doors to womenj Kawai, Q -1 6-me 5 Z3 'riffs' .mg N U1SAN B 535' most serene and dignified of all, nearly ready for her last school diploma. Here is the flurry and bustle of a spirited campaign-the shrieking of the brass band, the rise of the camp song. Charlie Patton is contending strenuously for the vice-presidency, opposed vigorously by Larry Frye, who promises, however, to console himself with the mayorship of Terre Haute if beaten. After this it is comforting to look upon quiet scenes again-lWinifred Crawford planting morning glories around the fence of her country home, Frank Adams singing in cheerful solitude as he turns the well-rounded fur- row, Gertrude Myers waving a fond good-by to three children on their way to school. Scent of flowers, strains of music, and the flowers are orange blossoms, while the music is the Bridal March. Blooming whiteness strews the path of the lovely bride, who comes down slowly. Even in her shyness the smile remains the same. By it Gladys is known. Vlhere could be found a more suitable one to play the tender role of bride? The charming scene fades into the police court, where, before the grim, judge, Byron Burton stands on trial for speeding. Ninety-eighth offense, six months imprisoinnent. The film rolls on. Evidently the class was not to lack teachers. In the kindergarten stands Helen Johnson, a light of knowledge to the young, and Ruth Ferguson pre- sides oyer a peaceful rural academy. Guy Terhune teaches Pantheism and music in an educational institution for foreigners, and Edith Hanna has attained an enviable position in Gary. Over the smooth floor of the armory glides Mabel McKinley, teaching the neglected art of roller skating. Nor does it lack in angels of niercy. In the insignia of the Bed Cross is Myrtle Truax, ready to relieve the pain of brave warriors, and within the white walls ol' a hospital Dorris Cordell labors. Mary llvershing tenderly nurses poodles in an asylum for insane dogs. Now a huge ship draws slowly up to land and stops. It is the Bea- gle, landing at South America, and bearing upon its decks the scientist, Floyd Ayers, coiue to search for the fossil bones of buried monsters. Vllith him is his faithful secretary, eoy llouise Ratts, willing for his sake to do anything from taking shorthand dictation to studying the position of a crab's ears. V l-luglaud again. -X country crossroads bearing the signs, To London, To llawkhurst. And here are parting Elsie Fritch and Thomas Steward, exchanging vows and class pins.

Mary Macflammack deftly manipulating the Stenotype machine, Edith Fletcher the typewriter, Mir- iam Hastings selling shoe strings in a great department store. As a contrast to this life of labor is a scene of delightful leisure. Ev- erett Shireman has purchased a lot in a quiet little town, and between in- tervals of cultivating chickens and sunfiowers, dreams and sings in the shade of his own plum tree. A picture of brightness and gayety. Lucile was ever a charming host- ess, and now, as the wife of an Annapolis oiiicer, she captivates the cadets by her delightful social functions. The stage becomes dim and mysterious. There enters a dark and dreamy figure, laden 'with strange, sinister machines. VVith amazing inge- nuity he constructs implements of destruction. He is called the t'Man of Terror -James Reid. Yet he also fears somethingg he is wan and hag- gard, and frequently seems to be in anattitude of listening. Suddenly he flees and I see that his old terror of a woman still pursues him. But here is one happy one. Dear old Benton Port has at last found a companion who appreciates him, and, encouraged by her, acts county re- corder in a pleasant village and plies his trade of artistic photographer. a What? Another wedding! In a bower of lavender and pink sweet peas the most beautiful ,girl in Centerton becomes the bride of the hand- somest man in Paragon, and thus are united beauty and wit. Long may they live! Alice Breedlove has helped one pedagogue to find his Perfect Dayf' and surely he deserves it. Acting as best man we have the loyal rel- ative, VVayne Abbott, who already is patiently experiencing the ecstacies of inatrimony. At last I see my shadowy self, searching for something. Perhaps it is the elusive Blue Bird of Happiness. I can not tell, for the scene fades quickly away and I am left to the tender mercies of the Junior banquet. i TMIRIALI E. Mason.

Robinson, delivered june 4, 1914 In 1870, the City, then Town of Martinsville became a separate and distinct school corporation, having been before this time a part of the school corporation of Wasliington Township. The township had in 1867 erected in the North edge of town the front of what is now known as the Second Wa1'd school building. When the town became an independent school corporation, 1870, it bought the inter- est of Washington township in this building for 34,000.00 In 1877 just ten years after the front was erected the growth of the schools had been so great that an addition was built on the north side of this building at a cost of about SiS6,000.00. Six years later, in 1883, because of the crowded condition in the schools a block was bought just three squares southeast of the Public Square and on this was erected a small two room school building which two years later was replaced by a four room brick building of the latest approved type at a cost of 37,500.50 In 1891 an addition to this building of the same size and construction was ordered and erected at a cost of almost 5lSl0,000.00. ' lflecause of the rapidly increasing enrollment in High School, in 1900, the Board of School Trustees found it had become necessary to make room For those who wished to pursue their studies beyond the grades, and accordingly erected the present High School building just to the north of the Third Ward building at a cost of about SB15,000.00. lu 1806 more room was required to acconnnodate the grades and a tract in the southwest part of the City on Main Street was purchased of .l. Y. Mitchell and a two room building that would house about one hun- dred pupils erected the total outlay being about 33,000.00 This afforded temporary relief' and in 1903 the Board of Trustees sold this property for bi42,4Sl5.00 and bought the block just south of the Big Four and west ol' Blain Street and erected thereon a modern six room building at a cost ul' :llmlll 3'I'il2,lltl1l.OO. lieeause ol' the demand for more room for pupils in both grades and lligh School the Board of School Trustees bought, in 1912, 6.6 acres of land six squares south ot' the Public Square, of Mrs. Hyndman and in Sf-plelulwr of' that year let the contract for a new high school building at :1 eosl ol' rl?-1Il,500.01l, the building to be completed and ready for OCC11p3.I1Cy lay St'lllt'llllll'l' l. 1914. 55232321 9 1 6 'ES 55 25'Z3yZJ ' Zia NUI-SA' NC-E 'ZSSESST HISTORY 'Twias the bels-t of timesg 'twas the Worst of timesg 'Twais fa, dvay of conceitg 'twas a day of trembling H E N o u September the l ninth, 1912, We, the class of '16, entered old M. H. S. as Freshmen. For did We not have a feeling of importance as we joined the host of stu- dents? And who could deny a slight trembling in his heart at the sneer of the haughty Seniors, or the dis- dain of our neighbors, the Sophomores ? However We aroused ourselves from lethargy, more on account of instincts of fear, than from any other cause, and, resolving to show our predecessors that we were powerful though young, had a meeting at the home of Lucile Sartor, and elected officers. Trusting in size we chose 4'Shanks for our executive. The other officers chosen were lgarry Frye, vice-president, and Gladys lgewis, secretary-treasurer. Blue and Gold were the class colors decided upo11. The Sophs met us that night, and gave battle. Of course we were victorious. VVe enjoyed our first vacation when the Twenty-third Infantry, U. S. A. passed through our city on September 23, enroute to the border. Tuesday afternoon, January 28, Miss Ida Faye Smith read The Merchant of Venice before High School. This was appreciated by all. Miss Hart's English class dramatized a chapter from George Elliott's Silas Marner-'7 and presented it before the other freshmen classes. Histrionic talent was evident this early in our High School career. Several enjoyable spreads and many Biology hikes livened the Spring term, and to cap the climax, We were entertained with a delight- ful party at the home of Miss Margaret Rose, north of the city. The flood came this year, the Week set for the spring vacation and so school was continued much to our satisfaction. The next year We found ourselves again assembled in the old build- ing, but We were several less in number than in the preceeding year. Officers chosen this year Were: Larry Frye, President, Helen Fusel- man and Shanks Kriner, Vice-presidents, Gladys Lewis, Secretary-Treas urer. ZEBZQZ' 9 Q1 6 Q3 .BS '32,-'3y'Z,1 - ' .za NU-IS-A c'E e'6Q85Tb This year we celebrated Mr. Cohee's Marriage, enjoyed The Melt- ing Pot, read by Miss Ida Faye Smith and the usual programs. The Dramatic Club and the S. orchestra also made their first appearance in the f'Ladies of Cranford, in all of which the class of 716 was Well represented. Soon winter was over and Sophomore days with it. Therefore we cast aside the wars of Caesar and prepared for the Orations of Marcus Tnllius with a three months, course in vacation! Juniors at last! It was an honour to us that we were among the first to occupy the new H. S. building. At the beginning of the term, however, we were compelled to recite in the churches and public buildings owing to a delay in the construction of our new building. This year several new subjects were added to our curriculum: Ger- man, Physics, Woodworking, and Commercial Courses being among the new studies. Our otlicers for this year were: Shanks, President, Rhea Jenkins, Vice-president, Gladys Lewis, Secretary-Treasurer. gg The first term was passed in hard labor, with programs and basket- ball for recreation. Book-stackingwas also enjoyed. Bible study was added this year. February nineteenth, formal Dedicatory exercises were held in the new building. Nautical Knot an operetta was presented by the chorus on Feb- ruary 25 in the auditorium. As Juniors, it also fell to our lot to try our luck in debating. Soon we began making preparations for the Reception, and, after much dissension, we decided to have it in the 0'vm and to make it the 3. 3 'lu-st evelt' 1 Several pleasant hours were spent in decorating for the Baccalau- reate and the Commencement. Before the close of school, however, we elected the Staff for '15-'16. Numbering forty-five, we again assembled and picked seats in the As- sembly for the last time. Oliicers were chosen and pins were selected for onr Senior year. llobby was elected President, Atch, Vice-president, and the same Secretary-treasurer was chosen as in the preceeding years. The chief interest this winter and spring has been centered in tl1e Bas- ket-Ilall team. We have lost six out ot' nineteen games, won the District 'l'onrnament and came out third in the State Tourney. Three players, liriner. floss and Shireman graduate this year. The Class Play, Hlligbee of' Harvard was given Tuesday, May 23, the house being well filled, and was considered quite an honour to the elzlss.
