il' J ,rl Class History This class of Seniors entered the Middletown High School in nineteen hun- dred and twenty-five. A great number of us hoped to graduate but, they have either dropped out of school or have not succeeded as yet. Several will go from dear Alma Mater this year. When the class entered M. H. S. we were fifty in number. Charles Sheriff was our president and Mr. Byrne and Miss Givens were our sponsors. We went through the Freshman initiation fairly well and enjoyed it very much. We had several good parties during the year. As Sophomores we had decreased in number. We elected John Simmons president and were sponsored by Miss Givens. As part of our duties, we helped initiate the Freshmen. We enjoyed the parties during the year. In our Junior year Albert Ashby was our president. Miss Givens was our sponsor part of the year, but as she went to another place to teach, her position was filled by Miss Jacoby. Our Junior Play ln Cherry Time was a great success. The cast included, Albert Ashby, Florence Bouslog, Raymond Cox, Byron Emsweller, Helen Zirkle, John Simmons, Gordon Ulen, Beulah Whit- worth, Clara Zile, Vernon Jones, Lois Fleming, and Margaret Gold. We also gave the Junior-Senior reception. This last year as Seniors, there are twenty-two of us to graduate. After two years of absence for both Charles Sheriff is our president and Mr. Byrne is our sponsor. Early in the school year we gave a carnival, which was a great success. Our Senior Play Whose Little Bride Are You was enjoyed by all. This play was given on February 20, 1929. We expect our next play to be a great success. We also enjoyed the Junior-Senior reception very much. We have been well represented in athletics during our entire high school career. Last. but not least, we wish to the other classes, success and happiness. -I e,-15-'F ci! '-X-:N 2' 1 N r J 'K X K' s I l fu .. - K ' W' nf' 1 , I lan fa' 'xl .

I-1E COIIACK DAII. Vol. XXI., No. 7 Middletown, Ind., July 24, 1936 Price ten cents SCIENTISTS DIFFER OVER NEFF THEORY Chicago, Ill., July 24.- The Neff Theory, originated by Professor V. A. Neff of the University of Chicago, has been accepted by some scientists. Others are contending that it is unstable in many points. The theory, which has to do with light and ether waves, gives a new slant to the old theories which have been progressed for a number of years. The manu- scripts have not been released to the public and therefore it cannot be learned just what the principle of the new theory is. :if is :if POEMS POPULAR A Book of Poems has been accepted by critics as hav- ing real talent behind it. The author Miss Beulah Whitworth is well on her way to fame and a life-long career as a present day poet. as in Pk I GOV. ASHBY'S TERM WILL EXPIRE Indianapolis, Ind., July 24. -Governor J. A.

Fla., June 24. -Among the elite of Palm Beach society were several members of the Middletown Class of '29, as guests of Gil-' bert Seward, proprietor of Palm Beach's most elaborate Hotel, the Royal Palm.
