OLD HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING Page four 19 2 7 aE sassasia THE MIRROR HISTORY OF HIGH SCHOOL The Ross Township High School had its beginning in the year 1896. At that time Dr. H. L. Iddings, the trustee, seeing the need for higher edu- cation, aided by County Superintendent Cooper, secured Mr. Loche as a grade teacher with the understanding he was to teach high-school branches to those who wished to continue their education. The pupils of the first class. Alta Halstead, Christina Lennertz, and Cora Pierce were allowed to progress as rapidly as they were able. The success of these three pupils proved the need of higher education and the school was conducted along the same lines with Mr. Kay as teacher with equal success for several years. Mr. F. M. Pierce, trustee, and the community in general realized that in order to do the quali- was in keeping with and better equip- Therefore. in 1901 a erected.

In 1913-1914 Paul Linton had charge of the school and more equipment was added. In 1914-1915 a two-year course was given by Fred Ewing. Those who desired to complete their high-school education were transferred elsewhere. During the following two years a little broader course, consisting of literature, algebra, geometry, history, and Latin, was taught by Mr. Walker. In 1917-1918 the school had two teachers, Mr. Hathy and B. E. Nelson. o iMi K32::acrsc::ac::sc::s 19 2 7 Page five THE MIRROR E ac nExarcraK From 1918-1923 a high school was conducted at both Merrillville and Ainsworth. Miss Elmore taught at Merrillville until 1922 when Richard Nu- zum took her place. Miss Wood taught at Ainsworth the four years and when the two schools were consolidated at Merrillville by Mr. Roy Hack in 1924 she was retained as assistant of O. K. Appletnan who was secured as principal. In 1924-25 a complete commercial course taught by Miss Verda Zusch- nitt was put in. Mr. Appleman and Miss Wood held their previous positions. This year marked the largest increase in attandance since the establishment of the school and during the summer the class rooms were re-arranged to pro- vide more space. In 1925-1926 the high school was fully commissioned. Mr. O. K.

Much interest has been shown by the entire community. Our new trustee, Mr. Sievert, came in the first of the year and under his helpful leadership we have great plans for the future. With the completion of our new High School building the upper six grades will move into it, leaving the six lower grades with the use of the en- tire old building.

We had for our captain Mr. O. K. Appleman, and as our guide Miss Wood. In May we stopped for a short period of rest so that we would be ready for another period of work. In the fall of 1924 we continued the journey with a somewhat smaller group. I his year we had the same leaders with another guide added. Miss Zuschnitt. W ith two years of the journey over we took another short rest. In the fall of 1925 we once again resumed our journey with our group dwindled down to seven, the rest having lost out and fallen by the wayside. Zerna Williams joined our group this year. We also had two new guides. Mr. Naylor and Mrs. Swinford, the other ones having left us. In the fall of 1926 we hit the old trail again, rested and ready to make our last step toward goal and gain the reward which we sought. This year our group numbered only five. e had all new leaders also, our new captain be- ing Mr. T. D. Fox, and our guides. Mr. Teagle and Miss Scott. ■St St -St CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 27 of Ross Township High School, real izing that our high-school career is soon coming to a close, do hereby on this the I hirteenth day of May, Anno Domino, Nineteen Hundred twenty-seven, make the following bequests : ( ( )ur bequests are small but we feel that they will be greatly appreciated), We wish to transfer our ability to the classes below us. V r e bequeath to the faculty the privilege of handing out to the lower classmen the same punishments we have so nobly borne. e bequeath to the Junior class our most beloved name “Senior”. We bequeath to the Sophomores our good attendance. We bequeath our good manners to the Freshies.

Zerna Williams bequeaths her anxiety to drive a taxi cab to John Kiefer. It is a well-known saying, often times proved that “coming events cast their shadows before.” Therefore it is not so difficult a task as many people suppose for one who takes the trouble to study the comings and goings of his fellow-students, to be something of a prophet, and to form some idea, more or less correct, of what their future course of action will be. So come with me, twenty years hence. This brings us to the year 1947. As might well be expected, changes have occurred in that lapse of time. As I was riding to my work, I noticed in the paper that Arthur Boldt had become a great cinema actor. As you will remember he starred quite a hit back in Merrillville in the minstrel show given by the high school. Loren Bowman, the star basketball player of high-school days and also captain of the team, has recently won the Nobel prize for all-round sports- manship. Merrillville should be proud of him. While reading about them it brought to my mind the other classmates of 1927. My only girl class mate, Irene Newell, after a few years experience as a trusted efficient stenographer married happily and has two children. I saw her down at Newport where she is staying a few days. Leonard Bowman is in New York now, having just returned from Africa where he was hunting big game. He is a large stockholder and broker on Wall Street. Well, I’ll have to get the news of my class mates off my mind and get down to business. I am also a large stockholder and broker. j CLASS PROPHECY HExaEXEEzisiExaExnExn ' 19 2 7 Page seventeen THE MIRROR c: :a:xa:i r a;o] A SENIOR A Senior stood on the school house steps, His worries were few and dim; He thought his cup of happiness, Was filled unto the brim. Looking at the school he stood, And to himself he said, “So long, you learned professors, And all of the books I’ve read.” “I’m out into the wide, wide world. From school I’m entirely free;; I’ll study no more of CAESAR, No Science nor Geometry.” “At last! I’m out! I’m going to knock ’em dead ! And I know that with all my learning, I can earn my daily bread.” The professors laughed, and called to him, And said he was a fool ; But diploma in hand, he walked away, And thus he left his school. Yesterday I saw that Senior, He was a beggar in the city, I’ll let you draw your own moral, And so I’ll end this ditty. Ju morS Js.

The three Junior sheiks are John, Erich, and Elmer. They waste the last five minutes looking at their $1.50 Ingersolls, but they couldn’t tell you what time it was if you asked them. Elmer spends most of his valuable time talk- ing and writing notes to the Junior shebas, especially his favorites, Louella and Rose, but he can hardly be bothered with the rest of us. A few days after John had his class ring he gave it to Hazel to wear. When he went home that night his mother said, “John, where is your ring?” John was frightened to death. He started to say that Hazel had it and his mother said, “Oh, Johnny that’s perfectly all right but I want you to get it back and be sure not to give it away again. So the next day he went up to Hazel and said, “Hazel, would you please give my ring back because my mother gave me the dickens?” That was the end of his romance. Erich is a studious boy. He doesn’t pay much attention to the girls. The Junior shebas are Leona, Rose, Edna, Lillian, Lucile, Louella, Geneva, and Frances. They spend their last five minutes powdering their nose and putting on their zippers. Leona stares abstractedly out of the window thinking of a date of long ago; then she turns around and applies more lipstick and rouge. What Edna has on her mind is why they don’t pave all the roads espe- cially when the roads are muddy. Mr. Fox thinks Rose is the most kind-hearted girl of the Junior shebas. We all are wondering why Lillian was so glad her brother left her to the mercy of Robert at the community meeting. Why is it that it takes Lucile such a long time to find her zippers which she thinks are not to be found? Louella is noted for leaving someone like Mr. Fox stand out in the rain waiting for the key. Oh, darn it, there goes that two minute bell and all the girls grab their zippers. It is disobeying one of the laws of M. H. S. to put them on before the first bell rings.

And each has an important use, There is a work set for all. Spring is the season for sowing, Summer for growing the grain. Autumn for cutting and harvesting, And winter for rest once again. And thus, my friends, are our lives, In four seasons; spring, summer, winter, and fall And are we not like unto the year? Is there not a work set for all? Our spring is our happy infancy, When we rock on mother’s knee, Or listen to the fairy-tales she tells, Or romp in child-like glee. Our summer is our school-life, When the paths for our futures are laid. And when for each industrious hour, A wealth of knowledge is paid. Our fall is our middle-age, When into life we are hurled ; And when our load of hardships, We must fight our way through the world. Our winter is our old age. The saddest and last ’tis true. But do we not go forth in death To start Heavenly life all anew?

This period is looked forward to by all with pleasure, when our lessons are prepared. During the first semester our time has been devoted to the study of the ancient Europeans. This subject has aroused much interest especially among the boys who wondered at the superior military genius of the Gre- cians. The girls marveled at the sculpture, art, and literature of these people. As the semester progressed Mr. Teagle called upon his answerless trio: ; .Norbert, Edward and Wilbur without avail. It took us practically the entire semester to discover that Alma was ; gifted along the line of penmanship. The amazing discovery was made j. by Mr. Teagle while grading a theme written on one of the various sub- jects. At first sight Mr. Teagle thought he would discard the paper. Then at second glance he found her small style of writing to be one of the most dainty and best readable of all the waiters in the class. Norbert also has a talent. We are all sure that some day his name I will be placed in the hall of fame as one of the greatest orators America has ever produced. Norbert had to read a theme over only four times to make it audible. And Evelyn, how she takes an interest when Mr. Teagle talks about the penitentiary or the electric chair. We are positive she will be a ward- en’s wife or something of the like. Quite often of late Dorothy’s mind has been roving and she hasn ' t paid attention to her classes. Now we have discovered that Murray oc ! cupies her entire thought. Clayton must have swallowed a dictionary or something that gives him the power to express his thought in a finer manner than usual. He i- using a language far superior to his usual manner of expressing himself. If Herman would only be bestowed with this gift he might be able to ex- press his thoughts which are now concealed in his mind. Usually during our History class Kenneth is busy telling Ina of the wonderful time he had the night before. She seems much interested but at times has to tell Kenneth to lower his voice as he becomes so excited he forgets how loud he is speaking. Page thirty-four THE MIRROR c::sc::3 How Vera can write themes. They are so lengthy that it takes the greater part of the class period to read them. She takes pleasure in doing the work, too.

TEAGLE Every school takes pride in its athletic activities; Merrillville High School has supported its teams in their start in athletic contests and ex- pects great things from the purple and white warriors in the future. The present season has not found conditions that make successful athletic teams. The new gym not being completed, the basket ball team or team aspirants braved the zero weather to practice in a cow barn. Working under such conditions with inexperienced material made the de- veloping of a winning team impossible in seven short weeks. But these lads are the pioneers for the school’s interscholastic contests, making the debut for the school in the basket ball tournament. Track, field work, and baseball form the spring athletics for boys; vol- ley ball and indoor baseball for girls. Track will be given much considera- tion, but will have a permanent place in the spring of 1928. Football will be added to our program as soon as the school can support this, which is the most expensive sport to conduct. Physical education, which is compul- sory under the six-six plan of high school organization, will become a part of the regular school program with the opening of the fall term of 1927. Not having any football, the 1927-28 basketball schedule has been so arranged as to spread the season over four months. The team prospects are very good for the coming season. Eleven of this year’s squad are either freshmen or sophomores while others who will make good athletes did not come out this season because of playing in a barn. Games have been arranged for a girls’ basketball team for next season. 3 1927 Page thirty-eight. o’cxac-aciEarcra THE MIRROR KacraBzanrac BASKET BALL TEAM 1927-28 SCHEDULE Date Team Place Nov. 4 Nov. 11 Nov.

Included within this show as the first part was a three act comedy en- titled “Fowl Deeds.” This was a clever comic sketch on the ways and means of maintenance for a negro family. The circumstances and conditons sur- rounding the peculiar positions gotten into by the family were very amus- ing. It ended with the head of the family faithfully promising to travel the straight and narrow pathway. The second part was made up of clever jokes and bright, sparkling minstrel songs. Under the able leadership of the interlocuter, Loren Bow- man, the show was carried along in grand style to the amusement of the large audience present. The interlocuter was assisted by John Kiefer, Ar- thur Boldt, Malcolm Halsted, Leonard Bowman, Roy Vallin, Erich Stark, Robert Wyatt, and Kenneth Halsted. who ably filled their various positions. The Girls’ Glee Club added an attraction by singing the choruses of the songs. At different times in the show some of their members sang special numbers which were greatly appreciated. Through the worthy efforts of the cast the audience was kept in an uproar from the start to the finish. Every person in the show filled their respective parts well. All who saw the show enjoyed an evening of amusement.

Officers elected were: President. Edna Cole; Secre- tary-Treasurer, Rose Meyer In the past few months it has increased in number and musical ability. The personnel is as follows: Violins. Malcolm Halsted, Mildred Kuehl, John Keifer, Mary Schmidt, Lester Severance Miss Marvel, and Milton Shult: ' .. Saxaphones: Edna Cole, Leonard Bowman, and Murray Holmes. Cornet: Louella Prott. Trombone: Evelyn Cole. Drums: Kenneth Halsted. Man- dolin: Rose Meyer. Alto Horn: Raymond Kitchel. Piano: Lillian Kuehl and Ethel School 1 .. The orchestra has played when asked and they were given the honor of playing at the Farmer’s Institute held in January, also at the Father and Son’s banquet held January 22, 1927. They have used both classical and popular selections. They will play at the next meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association and, in the near future, at the Teachers’ Institute held at Crown Point. At the close of the year they will be ready to play at the Commencement Ex- ercises. Our orchestra has been complimented by school patrons and we are justly proud of them. Their fine spirit of co-operation is a good example for the rest of the school.

Since then it has been an important organization in high school. There are two divisions, alto and soprano. Those singing alto are : Frances Crisman, Geneva Saxton. Myrtle Luebcke, Luella Both well, hleanor Kaiser, Hazel Heiny, and Irene Benson. Soprano: Edna Cole, Rose Meyer, Louella Prott, Lucile Pierce. Evelyn Anderson. Ina Cole, Vera Schnabel, Georgia Gebhardt, and Iva Beach. ' l ' lie Glee Club was given the honor of singing at the Minstrel Show in December and they have sung twice before the Parent-Teachers’ Association. They also sang at the commencement exercises in 1926. Miss McPherson has proved a talented and capable leader. If more time were devoted to the Glee Club with the interest already shown by the girls, we believe it would be one of the most enjoyable and helpful organ- izations of the school. 1 9 2 Page forty-five imsamiza THE MIRROR MUSI C Music is the most nearly universal of all the arts. Although not espe- cially practical or useful, it has accompanied man in some form or other in all ages. hatever our emotion, music may be associated with it. For our happiest moments there is the gay, lilting song or dance, firing our blood, bringing light to our eyes, and giving new zeal and enthusiasm ; for our more serious moments there are the sonorous tones of the chant and the sweet melodies of folk-songs and old hymns which creep into our soids, uplifting, and inspiring to better things. There are great differences between music as we know it today and music as it was a few hundred years ago. Previous to the tenth century, every one sang in unison. Harmony or “part” music was unknown. Songs were accompanied but the accompanist played only the tune. At the close of the ninth century, a Flemish monk wrote a treatise in which he set forth the principles of harmony and about a century later the staff was invented; however, the first staff had only four lines with square notes. Several cen turies later the key signature was added to the staff, also the fifth line, and the notes were made oval-shaped ; time divisions were shown by bars at right angles to the staff. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries the Dutch were the foremost musicians of Europe. They made a special study of the arrangement of one or several independent parts, or voices, in harmony with a given melody. By the eighteenth century, most of the essential elements of music were present, and it bade fair to become the very popular art it has been since that time. The origin of many musical instruments dates back to the earliest times. Every instrument in the modern orchestra has been vastly im- proved in the last century. Not everyone can produce music, but all can enjoy it. The mechanical means of reproduction — the phonograph, the player-piano, and the radio — have made possible its appreciation and study as never before. Many a child has begged for a new instrument or to learn a certain song because he has heard it in this manner. Almost every school gives instruction in music. In our own high school we enjoy the chorus-work twice a week. As the Christmas season approached we sang Christmas carols — Silent Night and The First Nowell being especially beautiful in four parts. The pupils are to be especially commended for their co-operation in the chorus-work. 19 2 7 Page forty-six THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY JUST IMAGINE A rthur Boldt growing a moustache.

Naylor, who passed away on May 20, 1926) The morning that filled the lives of his friends with sorrow, Was for him a morning of new beginnings; He passed thro’ the bridge that leads from light to light thro’ brief darkness, While we live on with only hopes of the morrow. Friend, farewell! the dusty toilsome, tearful years stretch on before us; Thither our road and thither will we go, But the memory of thy life, of thy friendship, shall ever onward lead us, And bid us to be brave and true. ,« M ■. CHARITY In the word charity are summed up the acts of mercy that man per- torms for the relief of his fellow creatures who are suffering from poverty, sickness or other ills. Charity is a practical working out of the Brother- hood of Man ; it is an expression of man’s love for humanity, and offers a common meeting- ground for all those who find it “more blessed to give than to receive,” regardless of their faith or creed. Individual charity, the kind that Christ told about in His parable of the good Samaritan, where a wayfarer saw another in trouble and “had compassion on him,” has always existed and will always exist as long as there is suffering in the world. In modern times, however, charity has come to be especially identified with organization, and with groups of individuals who are working together for permanent and not temporary good. Relief work of an organized character had its beginning in the early Christian Church, and the churches are still active agents in the field of charity. To leave this field entirely to religious bodies would be a serious mistake. Organized charity ' has grown out of the feeling that general co-operation in charity work is a necessity. As the first step in this direction came the formation of relief societies whose purpose was to do away with haphazard methods of giving and to Ml Page fifty 19 2 7 [ojprraErracracra THE MIRROR B a ztitSzzxap: place the work on a systematic basis. Then came associations for the im- proving - of the conditions of the poor. Relief societies now are maintained in almost countless numbers in various parts of the world, including in their work the care of destitute, neglected and delinquent children, friendless boys and girls, impoverished families — in fact, people of every description who are in need of a helping bond. The final step in systematized charity was the formation of a charity Organization Society, which exists under various names in different cities, such as Associated Charities, United Charities, Boards and Bureaus of Charities. The first of these societies was started in London in 1869, receiving the support of such eminent men as Gladstone and Ruskin. Its founders stated that its main object was cure, as distinguished from the mere alleviation of distress.” All these societies work on certain fundamental principles, and are found in all the best civilized countries. The giving for charity purposes is a good deed and more people should take interest in it. , ..« .. ATHLETI C S There is a tendency for the conservative to view the introduction of a new subject or activity into a high school with more or less of a question as to its merits. There are many who deem athletics an evil in school. This may hav e some supporting argument, but if conducted in the right manner under the supervision of a competent coach there is much to be gained. I he class room does not afford pupils an opportunity to show their combined physical and mental prowess against classmates as against team- mates. Moral training, association, fair play, control of temper, and the big element — development of team work which is necessary for the success of any sport, can be carried into life’s activities. A prominent juvenile judge has this to say for competitive sports in school: ‘‘A loyal member of any athletic team has never appeared in my court. This alone should be worth consideration for any parent. Page fifty-one 19 2 7 M c gacxgExa c a THE MIRROR JOKES Mr. Fox — What is fat.

A good example is Louella Prott and Elmer Strong. j ..« ,« Mr. Fox — What is transpiration ? Clayton — I don’t know 1 never had algebra. ,st , Oh those poor innocent little Sophomores. Mr. Teagle was fixing the basketball baskets when he addressed James Halsted: “Say ' . Janies, you run over to the Lumber Co. and get some sky hooks and Milford Stevenson you can help him carry them. How exalted they felt that they were sent on an errand for Mr. Teagle.

He sharpens his pencils about six times a day, and he walks clear around the room so that he can pass Hazel Heiny’s desk and slip her a note.

Arriving in town he said to the horse, “W e will surprise maw tonight.” So he went and bought himself a new suit of clothes, new hat, socks and shoes. He put them in the back of the buggy. On the way home he stopped at a river to put on his new clothes. Taking off his old clothes he threw them in the river and then went to get his new clothes. But he had lost them. Not to be out did he crawled back in the buggy and cracking the horse said, “Giddap, Topsy, we’ll surprise maw anyhow. ,4 ,4 ,jt Mr. Fox — Anna, the adult in the amphibian is carnivorous, what is the larva form ?
