Class Histories Freshman History. Kfoncludeclj A baseball team was organized and on Friday, October 29 Won an easy game from the lVI.G.R.5 the score be- ing 18 to 7. Not much more attention was paid to class athletics as the M.H.S. team played nearly every Friday. We were a lucky class the first sem- ester, in the first place we all manag- ed to steer clear of the UOFFICEH with only one exception. Secondly, for property destroyed in the Manual We never settled With Mr. Slabaugh Training room or Botany class, such as the little episode of Chas, Chap- lin when he demoralized one of the chairs when he deposited his one hun- dred pounds of avoirdupois thereon. On these reasons we base our claims as a lucky class and as for the second semester it has been a dream Cnot a nightmarej. And we the following will continue throughout the rest of our H.S. career to love our dear old M.H.S.: Lillian Litweiler, Berneice Kauffman, Lolo Scott, Ruth Miller, Dorothy Kellet, Rosamond Walker, Truman Miller, Jay Wambaugh, Ver- non Sunthimer, McKinley Elliott, Mar- lan Frederick, Elston Hardman, Max- well Hutchinson, Marland Shoup, Olin Schrock, and LalVIar Zimmerman.

' fConclucledj The class reentered school Septem- ber 13th, 1915, full of ginger and men- tal rest, with an enrollment of twenty-two, having been increas- ed by three girls, Bernice Stahley and Alta Mishler, who completed their Freshman year in the Shipshewana High School, and Edith Cox, who came from Bristol High School. These girls seeking better educational advantages, came to Middlebury and were welcom- ed into the Sophomore class. As be- fore, the second day again brought a bereavement. This time Dewey Wise was the cause of the sorrowing. Dewey, thinl-.ing that he did not need a high school education to aid in making baby-cabs twhich he is now doingl, failed to return. Dewey was a noble young character and it caused the class much grief to learn of his fatal move. In about a month the Sophomores gave a Riley program at the Auditor- ium, playing to a full house and a well satisfied audience. The Riley program was a good advertisement for the class. Two weeks later Jesse Holdread left the class, though no one seemed to know what caused his sudden dislike for school. VVe hated to lose Jesse be- cause the girls threatened to soon out- number the boys, and then-. The next important happening was a party at the home of Edith Troyer. The evening was an eventful one, for sev- eral of the number were slightly in- jured in a coasting accident. A short time later the class suffered a real bereavement in the death of the mother of a classmate, Edith Cox. The class in order to show their sympathy purchased a wreath of flowers. The class was treated to another party at the home of Louise Berkley, some time after, and were entertained royally in true leap ,year style. About forty persons were there. And such were the trials of the class. GLENN CRIPE '18.

A program was pre- pared and the banner being here we were ready when our Friday morning came. About 8 :15 all of the remaining boys Ctwenty-five in numberj decided to initiate the Freshmen. We were taken to the basement of the Auditorium where we were daubed with red paint. Then we were permitted to return to the High School building where we scrubbed up, and TEN STRONG marched into the H. S. room where the program was given and our Banner raised. lt was said by the faculty that our class was a strong one as it took all the other H. S. boys to initiate us.

Household Arts. The study of household arts is a branch that must be taught in a com- missioned High School. They must at least provide one full year's work in this study. It is necessary for voca- tional training, it is a step which should not be omitted and upon whose successful solution largely depends the success of the future. The aim of household arts is divided into two classes. CID It should give to our young people a more intelligent appreciation for the important and fundamental occupation of home mak- ing. C25 It should prepare them as far as possible for efficient and economic work in the home. Many of the girls do not receive the necessary training at home and therefore the teachers in school must teach them. If they would not receive any instructions in school in cooking and sewing they would be very helpless when they would have a home of their own to take care of. It is not only a helpful duty but very interesting and was first taught in the Middlebury High School in 1909. Mrs. Culp, the Superintendent's wife, was theteacher. There was no laboratory in the school building so the girls went to the Culp home. The next year Miss Freeman taught and a room in the basement was then used. The girls did not do much sewing but made baskets. They made and tested many dainty dishes and learned how to use left-overs. The following year Miss Church was the instructor and the room which is being used at the pres- ent time was equipped. The next year Miss Sanders taught. That year was better than any of the preceding years. Miss Sanders only remained one year- and Miss Garber, the present teacher came to instruct us. We think that we have learned more this year than we did in the preceding years. But we realize that it could not have been otherwise under the excel- lent supervision of Miss Garber. We have enjoyed .this year as much as we have found it instructive. The cook- ing department is better equipped this year. We enjoy cooking because we serve dinners. The Sophomore and Freshman girls serve the first two days and the Grammar room girls on Fri- days. One girl is appointed hostess for the day. Her duty is to see that the marketing is done, the dinner properly prepared and everything cleaned away again. In this way every girl has the opportunity of preparing a good, Well- balanced meal in the most economical way. We also learn how to make many new dishes. In the sewing department we learn how to crochet, tat, fit pat- terns, cut garments and sew the differ- ent stitches in common and fancy sew- ing. ELMA FRANZ '18, 4695196 That Green Freshman. Jolly groups stood here and there, Not a thought of pain and care, Seniors walk about the hall Heeding not the teacher's call. A little Freshman stood without, Now those Seniors, there 's not a doubt Tonight with their girls they'll be seen Said he, I'1l show them I'm not so green. He walked straight down the aisle Which seemed as though it were a mile And said, in a voice that swelled witl1 pride, And which did all his greenness hide,- O you Junior girl so bright, If I could take ,you to the play tonight My heart- .Quickly she turned away her head While the Freshman 's hopes they sank like lead . A minute later he left the room For he though he surely would swoon. And oh, how they teased him and call- ed him green So that he left the place and was no more seen.. G Now Freshmen, warning take From this, your brother 's mistake, Its better to study, be assured, Than get the teasing Schrock endured. EDITH MILLER 17.
