P ge SUCCESS- To attain success you must build today for tomorrow. You must create for yourself an objective and then systematically strive for accomplishment of your purpose. Saving is the iirst step to thrift, and thrift combined with good busif ness judgment leads to financial success. Many times during your business career, you will need the advice or active help of a banker. Even though you may never be in busif ness for yourself, there will be many occasions when a banker's adf vice will be of great help, and your ability to save money is a strong recommendation that a banker will respect. The St. Joe Wfelcomes the Accounts of Young People just Sitting Out in The Business World. We realize that these small accounts represent the accumulations of earnest young men and women who are striving for success A the men and women who will conduct the business of this nation in the near future - and to be of material assistance to them is both a privilege and a pleasure which we esteem highly.

Your suit is very attrac- tive. Is it a new one? No it's the old one. But I added the row of rosebuds and ostrich plume and the ribbon streamers down the back. And- Just here the b'all is snapped into play again. While our team makes a basket, our center says to New Paris center, Do you know what the Middlebury center said about you last week?

It was made more difficult because of much sick- ness, muddy roads almost impassable, and snow storms that prevented us from having school for several days. In addition to this we were handi- capped by the want of another teacher. But with all these difficulties the past year may be considered a very successful one. Our athletic record includes Speedball, a comparatively new game which is a cross between football and basketball. Although we played no other schools much interest was displayed and probably next year will find M. H. S. athletes scheduled to play Speedball with neighboring schools. The girls played volley ball and as there were enough players to have sev- eral teams they played games among themselves. Our two basketball teams kept up the excitement during the basketball season. Track proved to be as interesting as usual and there were a large number of boys in training. We were represented in the County Latin Contest by Maurice Long and Lucille Lovell. The Superintendents and Principals Banquet, held here in October proved we had a very efficient Home Economics instructor. The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs presented the delightful operetta, The Wishing Well. In Music Memory Contest work we were well rep- resented in both grades and high school. Our twenty-two piece orchestra has done some very good work as has our fifteen piece band. The band played for a number of basketball games and Farmers' Association meet- ings. The quartet and sextette sang several times for the public, includ- ing Baccalaureate services. Public speaking was given again this year with renewed interest among the pupils. They presented two plays which were very good. There were twelve contestants to enter the Oratorical and Reading con- test. The two class plays, Aunt Billy from Texas and Watch Your Step Wilton showed the interest and ability among dramatical lines. The year was climaxed by the cleverly planned Junior-Senior Recep- tion, Class night, Baccalaurea.te, and Commencement exercises. In every respect this has been a successful year and for a school of its size it ranks with the achievements of larger schools. We have been loyally supported by the public and we sincerely appreciate their co-operation. May next year prove as successful and eventful as 1925-1926.

Some of them could not stand the strenu- ous life and fied from the field of battle. The faithful followers continued their battles with English, latin, algebra and several lesser foes. We held a Freshmen party in the spring. Previous to this We had organized our class. The officers were: Robert Kile, presidentg Mildred Fisher, Vice- President, Clyde Duker, Secretary, Gladys Rink, Treasurer. The next year we had several parties and a Wiener roast. It is need- less to say we had a good time on all of these occasions. Each year we have had our class represented in the Oratorical and Reading contest. Last year Robert Kile won first which entitled him to enter the County contest where he again won first place. We have also been represented in athletics. This year we gave a class play Aunt Billy from Texas, which was a great success. From a financial standpoint we have been more suc- cessful than any other class in the history of the school. In the spring we entertained the Seniors at the Junior-Senior reception. The way has seemed rocky at times but we have always lived up to our motto, We climb though the rocks be rugged, and have come out of it smiling. -Marie Lovell, '2'7.

A. Sophomore Page 21 HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORES September, 1924, we entered High School as frightened Freshmen. We pretended to be quite familiar with High School life and some of us even tried to imitate the Senior's dignity. But the upper classmen simply had it in for us and we were in for a certain amount of slams. Never- theless We struggled on bravely and We were represented in nearly all the activities. Many left our class but the number was soon made up by others who joined the class. If this should continue it is quite possible that we will graduate with possibly three of the original class. During our first year we had one party. We had several class meetings and elected officers. They were: President, Edith Larimerg Vice-President, Virginia White, Secretary, Lucile Lovellg Treasurer, Arthur Simmons. After a vacation of a few months we returned as Sophomores. This year we elected Arthur Simmons, Presidentg Edith Larimer, Secretaryg Delbert Kurtz, Treasurer, and Miss Risser, Class Advisor. Our first two years have ben a decided success and we hope to come back next year and even better our record. -Lucile Lovell, '28.

Freshman Page 2:1 HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS The sky was clear and blue and the waves of the ocean lazily lapped against the rocks as the class of '29 boarded the ship of Knowledge, headed for Port Graduation. Three ships had gone before us, and they, as our most feared enemies, were fleeing from us, trying to leave us behind and alone. But despite the booming of their cannons and the whistling of their sirens We Were able to keep up with them, which would have been impossible but for the cunningness of our Captain, D. Stoner, First Lieutenant, Lucile Stoner, Second Lieutenant, Dorothy Harper, and Corporal, Everett Fisel. The huge flag that was hoisted to the mast was colored red and black. Our ship is noted for carrying the largest Crew of the four ships and having some of the most brilliant and trustworthy sailors of the present day, including Dwight Bowser, who is a first class chicken eater. -Mary McDowell, '29.

What we've learned with pleasu1'e, We never shall forget, But lessons left unfinished, We ever will regret. But school days done and work begun, We learn to our regret The college of Experience We have not mastered yet. It seems, a pleasant journey The dawning of life's day, But as we stumble on, it grows A long and weary way. We will find a path or make one As out through life we go, But just how, and when, and where Our future lives will show. On, on, in quest of learning Some of us will probably roamg Life is a battle where, each one Must scale the heights alone. No matter where we go in life, No matter what we try, We'll always give you our support Our dear old Millersburg High. -Gladys Honderich, '26 Page 29 THE GRADUATING CLASS It is with reflection and regret that the class of 1926 leaves these halls of learning for the encounters of the World for which they have been preparing themselves. The past four years have been very happy and eventful. The only regret We have is that they have been too brief. We entered High School as bright and smiling Freshmen, just four years ago. We can understand now why the upperclassmen, yes-and even the teachers laughed at us. However, our class was represented in all of the activities and soon the upperclassmen began to respect our achievements. We had a few parties and several class meetings to choose our class motto, flower and colors and to elect officers. We returned the next year as Sophomores a few degrees wiser but with a smaller number. This year we felt more like a part of High School and it was our turn to smile at the underclassmen. We had a party and re-elected class ollicers. As Juniors we thought ourselves almost as wise as the Seniors. A few more had dropped from our ranks. That year we gave a class play to provide funds for the Junior-Senior Reception which was the crowning event of the year. Several members of the class entertained us with parties at their homes. As Seniors our number was somewhat smaller, but we struggled on bravely and came out smiling.. Again we entered into all of the activities and established an enviable record. This was our busiest year. A new step was taken by publishing an annual, the first in the history of the school. Being the first the task was doubly hard. We kept up the tra- dition of the school and presented a class play, Watch Your Step, Wil- ton, which was very successful. We are by far the largest class to graduate from this school. We hope the classes which are to follow us will enjoy their High school careers as much as we have. t'To you, from fallen hands, we throw The torch. Be yours to hold it high. Page 30 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of twenty-six of the Millersburg High School, being undoubtedly the most talented, intelligent, promising, truthful, popular, good natured, enterprising, modest, good looking, successful class that ever graduated and being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make and publish this our last Will and Testament: First: We give to the whole school our brilliancy as scholars.

Signed: Claude Pancratz Harold Hartzler Margaret Biscomb Page 32 PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Friends and Classmates-It is with mingled pleasure and sorrow that I address you-pleasure that I have the honor of being President of this graduating class of nineteen hundred twenty-six, the largest in Millers- burg High School's history, and sorrow that the last year of my High School life is now drawing to a close. In behalf of the Class, I want to thank our friends, parents, and the public for your manifest interest in our school activities. Through your presence at our various appearances before you, you have helped us ma- terially, but greater than this is the school spirit that the student body has gained in competition with other schools. We believe this will be of value to us, as we now step out into the life before us. It has taught us to concentrate and put one's best into the contest. We have learned that the best way to play the game is to play it on the square. These rules of the game, dear Classmates, will stand us well in suc- cess and adversity. Let us keep foremost in our mind our motto that we have followed during our High School career, We will find a path or make one. l There are still new paths to find and old ones to follow. But the courses that will in the end give us the most self satisfaction are the ones we have made for ourselves. 1 Now, fellow Classmates, we are about to leave these sheltering walls to enter into the duties of life, and face the problems of the future. When a victory has been gained let us look back and give the credit Where it rightly belongs-let us not forget the training we received during our four years at Millersburg High. Harold Hartzler A RAINBOW Our high school days are as a many colored rainbow. First as you already know, comes the green. We are young energetic, ambitious and appear absolutely ridiculous and foolish to the upper classmen. Green in all true senses of the word. The first year doesn't do away entirely with the green because it is bound to creep in at times in the shape of ugly jealousies. One of our friends receives a little honor which we desire. We say we wouldn't have the honor but a hidden voice declares that we would and makes us dislike the friend who received it. Red is seen in two very opposite directions. In the one lies the red of war and hatred. We hate certain subjects and people. Most of our hatred is temporary and soon passes. We are often found waging war on horrid, unsuspecting subjects. This latter is almost perpetual. A very brilliant, beautiful red takes place in a love for a teacher or a fellow classmate. We are surrounded by a mass of blue at the end of every month. At least some of us feel that way when the test papers are handed back. On graduation day we come to the end of the rainbow and receive our diploma, the pot of gold. -Margaret Biscomb, '26 Page 33 ADVICE T0 THE JUNIORS Considering the fact that the Junior Class of Millersburg High School seem rather inorderly and unmannerly at times, and on certain occasions they fail to show proper conduct, we the class of Nineteen twenty-six feel the necessity of imparting to said class a few words of practical advice. We sincerely hope it will be received in the same spirit in which it is given. As a class, you should not have your Senior meetings at noons or study periods but in English or Economics classes, which will take up the time for recitation. You shouldn't visit in the halls, neither be seen sitting on nor sliding down the stair banisters. The boys should bear in mind that racing up and down the stairway, that is, taking more than three steps at a stride, seldom increases the deportment grade. If the Juniors of twenty- seven should get gay with you about your banner, Mr. Beck will be glad to store it in a vault and will insure safe keeping. Otherwise you may need the assistance of the janitor in keeping it under control. Follow the example of the Seniors of twenty-six and always be in your class room or in the assembly room one minute before the bell rings. Now a bit of advice to the individuals. Marie Lovell should dye her hair. Lottie Long should concentrate on her work and not be casting such wild glances toward the front of the assembly room. Robert Kile should be careful when playing basket ball and not bump heads with opponents. Clara Whirledge should bob her hair. Kirby Troyer should be careful to have plenty of gasoline before leaving town. Martha Kuhn should learn to control her temper. Wilbur Musselman should learn some new tunes for his whistle. Mildred Fisher should be careful in flashing her left hand because it hurts pupils eyes. Harry Larimer should raise side burns. Viola Garber should keep her mind off of the boys. Arloine Hostetler should spend more time on her studies and less time writing letters for this would make an impression on her grades. Wayne Pletcher should learn to control his feet. Mary Leer should use more powder and rouge. Dale Steele should invent a step-ladder to use, next year, in out- jumping those big centers. Eula Kurtz should not be so bashful. Dean Steele should grow a little this summer or he will be classed as a freshmen next year. Edith Rohrer should learn to study when Paul Brown and Claude Pan- cratz are not in school for there is a probability of their not being here next year. Clyde Duker should keep his mind on his studies instead of casting wild eyes across the assembly. And Thelma Long should not study so hard, -Otis Larimer, '26. Page 34 CLASS GRUMBLE I am not a bit superstitious but I just had a feeling that something desperate was going to happen the other day when I broke that mirror. Little did I think last year when George John willed me the class grumble that the Senior class this year would have the nerve to stick it off on me. They must think I am the only one that crabs or complains. Well, I'm not. For instance there is Margaret Biscomb who is always contrary, ready to argue on the opposite side of every thing. Then look at our class president, Harold Hartzler, who always votes contrary to my opinion. The idea! I was really dumbfounded when I was oflicially informed that one of our noble characters of the Senior class, Jay Kelsey, had actually fallen for one of the Freshies with abbreviated skirts and locks, and now he spends most of his time staring into space. There's Arthur Dovel who sits around so calm and peaceful, as if life were really an easy thing. But the most tragic sight was the girl race for Claude Pancratz. Among the entries were the well known, Edith Rohrer, Lottie Long, Helen Stoner, Marjorie Shaffer and Lucille Howser, the great athlete. It really got so dangerous at times that I prayed for his safety, even tho' I never did fall for him. Edna Garber spent most of her time trying to obtain red hair and to keep her nose powdered as Harold was always hanging around. It sure gives me the creeps to see anyone as calm and peaceful as Leonard Green. Lucille Howser was one of the worst bosses I ever saw and believe me, we always let her have her own way. I don't know why but we al- ways gave up when we saw her coming. One thing I didn't see this year was Edith Rohrer studying her les- sons. She was usually busy Hashing one of those come hither looks at one of the M. H. S. sheiks. Paul Brown spent most of his time thinking up naughty names to call the other boys who paused at Edith's desk. Otis Larimer and Mary Ulery earned their credits sitting around gig- gling and talking like a couple of thirteen year old children. Believe me, I didn't get mine that way. I worked! Of course I wouldn't want you to say anything but some of the teachers had their pets. Perhaps the most disgusting sight was Harley Keim fussing around trying to acquire a permanent wave. Page 35 VIIMIHi VIl1I'H IlWIHHI 1833018636107 When one of the classes was going to have a party Mr. Kent would get up before the assembly and lecture about forty-five minutes on cor- rect behavior, then inform us that the curfew would ring at nine o'clock. His lecturing would have been all right for the underclassmen but we Seniors at least knew how to act. Whenever the telephone would ring Mr. Kent would almost break his neck in trying to answer it. He was always afraid it was some boy calling us girls for datesg but several calls were for Eileen. In Miss Rowan's classes she thought the pupils should know as much as she did before she would give them a decent grade. It's a good thing she didn't have the Seniors. In Mr. Planks classes we didn't dare move or look at anyone. If we did he would say, You may take your books and go to the assembly. And we took said books and went to said assembly and were rewarded with a zero for that day. V Before recitation in Miss Risser's classes you could see the Freshies marching to the waste paper basket or the window getting rid of Juicy Fruit. High school was so dead that the Juniors didn't have enough pep to take down the Senior banner so we took it down ourselves to cause some excitement. When we ordered our class rings we were supposed to receive them in five to seven weeks and you might know they got here the seventh day of the seventh week. Our B. B. boys thought they were so good they didn't need any prac- tice. The Orchestra and Band didn't amount to anything even if I did play in both. Mrs. Kent always played too loud and so did Walter Kent and Stanley Wolf. And in the Orchestra, what could I do amidst a squad of squeaking violins? Outside of twenty-five cases of chicken-pox and small-pox, a dozen cases of whooping cough, measles, flu' and a couple operettas we nearly escaped the epidemics this year. Now I want to appeal to some of you with plenty of money to please offer Mr. Groff a fair price for the building so we can at least have a free parking space on the registers in the halls on cold blustery days. Well, I certainly feel better. Thanks to George John and the Senior class for this opportunity to unburden my mind of some of the disagreef able things we had to put up with these four years. I hope things are better next year but I suppose it is utterly foolish to even hope for any- thing so impossible. -SaBina Dirks, '26. Page 36 CLASS PROPHESY Having been on the ocean liner Sun-Maid for two days, I was feel- ing so rested I began to think it wouldn't take the year's rest and travel which the doctor had advised. Since coming on the boat I had gone no where but had stayed in my own stateroom. I decided to take a short stroll somewhere. After roaming about for sometime I came upon the beauty parlor. Thinking I'd get my hair shampooed I went in. At the first look I was surprised to see an old schoolmate of mine. SaBina Dirks was the boss in the beauty parlor. We were both very glad to meet each other. I had not seen her since we graduated. That was long ago. When we had talked for a while We arrived at the subject which was dearest to both of us and which was called forth by the presence of the other. The subject was the other classmates? She told me that Eileen Kent, Mary Ulery and Edna Garber were on the boat's list of entertainers. They were to appear as a concert company that evening. They had sought out SaBina for aid on the question of youth and beauty. I soon left SaBina with the promise that I would return. I headed for the section mentioned by SaBina as containing Mary, Eileen and Edna. If any man wants to criticize women for falling all over each other for joy, here's their chance. I hadn't' been with the girls long before one of the other actors, who was booked on the boat for the trip, came in. He was a comedian, dressed in a checkered suit which had hoops in the bottom of the trouser legs. He wore a small straw hat and carried a light cane. The girls got a queer look in their eyes and introduced me to the world's best comedian, Mr. Pancratz. When I heard that name you can bet I sat up and took notice. It was Claude without a doubt. I thought it couldn't be, so many of my classmates on the same boat. The girls insisted that I had had enough surprises for one morning and bid me go to my room. That afternoon I set out for more adventures. Coming up to the deck I decided to take a long walk. The air sure felt good. My attention was attracted by a group of young girls who seemed to be having a very enjoyable time. I drew near thinking I'd make their acquaintance. Be- fore I had a chance to introduce myself, a woman about my own age came from their midst and gave me a hearty welcome. Lucille Howser was the chaperon for the group of young girls. The girls were members of the school in which she taught. Lucille had been chosen and approved of by the girls' parents as an appropriate woman to look after and amuse their daughters. The girls were planning to go to the concert that eve- ning but I wasn't ready for Lucille to meet Mary, Eileen and Edna so invited the girls to my rooms for a little party. I went farther down the deck. I saw a man sitting in a steamer chair giving a dictation to a woman who sat by him. I began to think that he must be very busy that he couldn't even rest while on his trip. Just as I was passing them they looked up. I stopped right in front of them and stared until I was ashamed. I wouldn't have had to be ashamed for they were staring as hard as I. I was looking at Harold Hartzler and Grace McKibbin. Harold was going to England to represent the United States on a foreign question. Grace was his secretary. I entered the library to seek out a book on games. I wanted to find Page 37 a new way to entertain the girls which were under Lucille's care. I found nothing but was informed that the ship had another library and that I might find something there. I was on my way out when I stopped to ad- mire some cartoons a man was drawing at one of the tables. When he found that I was interested he stopped to talk. Stanley Wolf was a car- toonist for one of New York's leading papers. He was now on his way to Europe to study new people and get ideas. I went to the other library and while standing up at one of the cases looking over the books I couldn't help overhearing the conversation of a man and woman who were sitting back of me. They said something about Millersburg so I turned to see if they were from Indiana. Well, they were and classmates at that. Gladys Honderich was on her way to Africa where she was a missionary. Arthur Dovel was on his Way to India where he had been doing good work. I took my book and went to the florist. I needed decorations for the eve- ning. Some of the most beautiful arrangements of colors and flowers greet- ed my eyes as I entered. Beulah Lantz had charge of the ship's conserva- tory. I left with a large bouquet of American Beauty Roses, the flower of the class of 1926. The American Beauties which I carried attracted the attention of the captain and his mate. Otis Larimer was the captain and Paul Brown was his mate. When I told them who I was they offered to show me over parts of the ship. I realized this was an offer not to be thrown aside. I accepted and Otis called a guide. We first went to the Hospital. I learned that Leonard Green was the main authority here with Marjorie Shaffer as his first assistant. We then went to the large dining room. I was very much disappointed not to find any of my classmates among the waiters as I had found friends nearly every place I had gone on the ship. We went into the kitchen. I was almost dazzled by the whiteness of it. I was introduced to the head chef. Jay Kelsey came forward to acknowledge the introduction. We moved on into the engine room. Here I met the last of my classmates, Harley Keim. He may have been the last one I ran across but he was by no means the least, for he was still over six feet tall. Harley was the chief machinist in the engine room. I went back to my room and sent out invitations for a class reunion. The next evening we were all young people again. We reviewed the class history, will, grumble, prophesy, song and addresses, just as we had had them the class night before we had graduated. Then we all gave a little story of what we had been doing in the meantime. We closed the party by singing Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main. We sang so loud that I woke up and wondered if it ever could be like that. -Margaret Biscomb, '26. Page 38 THE SCHOOLROOM CLOCK A very important being am I. I stand at the front of the assembly directing the days routine in my clear ringing voice. More eyes are cast in my direction than at any other being in school. I am not very handsome for my face is disfigured in twelve different places. I keep my hands on my face all of the time. I am not generally conceded the power of sight. The glass that encloses my face reflects to me a great many things that even the teachers do not see. In this respect I am a god for I see everything. But there are a great many disadvantages in this kind of a life. My vision is limited by walls. I can not see into the hall and I miss all the fun in the class- rooms. The boys congregate in the hall when I have directed that the study period has ended but I cannot see them in their capers and mischief, so I retaliate by sending them off very quickly. How would you like to miss all of the basket ball games and the tournament? How would you like to be in the same room that the High School plays, operettas. and other splendid entertainments are given and be unable to see them because they were given on the stage behind your back. i But let's look on the sunny side of life. Don't you get a lot of fun out of what you are not supposed to see? I do for I'm very human. I have to chuckle very quietly in my mysterious depths. It's fun to watch the pupils eat peanuts and other treasured booty. I believe it tickles the teacher, too, for she'll look up, smile, get out a little slip of paper and make some marks on it. I suppose she does not want to forget it. One day I had an awful scare. The teacher left the assembly and the minute she was gone the pupils began to throw chalk, erasers. pencils, pins. paper wads. tacks and galoshes. I held my breath for fear they would hit me. But I wasn't ashamed of my fright because Mr. Plank stepped out from the stage, which is separated from the assembly by a sliding curtain, and wanted to know whether it was safe for his class and himself back there. Guess he must have been scared too. One day I had such a cold that I couldn't speak above my incessant whispering. The pupils gathered around me and stared. At first it embarrassed me a little but soon Mr. Kent came with some sharp, heavy tools and fixed me all up again, Mr, Kent received his dector's degree last year. My voice now rings out as clear as ever, thanks to him. Would you like to know what is going on in the room right now? I'll have to tell you. Mrs. Kent is interestingly reading something back at the desk. Ben Moser is slonched away down in his seat, reading an old boy scout book instead of his textbooks. Grace McKibbin is writing another letter. I can't quite see the ad- dress on the envelope but I don't imagine the letter will ever get out of town. Paul Brown must have broken his pencil again for he is banging his feet up the aisle to the pencil sharpener. Bob VVilson is day d1'eaming. I suppose his mind is down in the eighth grade room. I wonder what is the matter with Kirbyg he is actually studying. Robert Kile is busily engaged in writing out his Caesar between the lines of his text. Claude Pancratz is munching peanuts and is making an awful noise with the wrapper. Viola Garber is busy looking pretty. I can't see what Jay is doing, he is away liack in the corner. Beulah Lantz is drawing something, as usual. lValter Kent is tusseling with an algebra problem. A new edition of the Pathfinder is in the hands of Thelma Long. Bertha Prough looks as though she had a fellow on the brain. I wonder what makes that fuzzle in- Mild1'ed Le-er's hair? Well, what are they all looking at me for? They are sitting half way out of their seats and clutching the desks ahead of them. Oh, I knowg it's time for dis- missal. I almost forgot. Brrring! -Harold Hartzler I Page 39 A TRAGEDY IN ONE ACT ENTITLED CAN YOU BEAT IT? by The Author His-Self Cast of Characters Lenore Wayne-alias A certain Sophomore George Wayne-alias A certain Senior Time-Evening of the same day A door banged. From the hall came an angry exclamation, and George Wayne entered the living room. Lenore, his sister looked up from her book inquiringly. Well? she asked. Well, snorted George indignantly, Well Well, what? I'm not a mind reader. You know very well what I mean. I want my sweater. Your sweater, repeated Lenore in innocent surprise. Why ask me? I want my sweater and I want it right now, declared George. I'm sorry but it appears that I can't remedy the matter, why accuse me of having it? answered Lenore calmly. 'Tm not blind. I've seen you wear it. I want my sweater to wear to the game tonight. Don't be silly, brother dear, just because you're a Senior is no reason why I should obey your slightest command. 'tYes, and just because you're a Soph is no sign you're not going to, retorted George. Where's my sweater? Well, Harold Hartzler had it. You mean to say you had the nerve to let him wear my sweater? But I didn't dream you would want it so soon. Didn't dream, blah! Where's Harold Hartzler now? I want my sweater. An aggravating silence followed while Lenore yawned long and loudly then looked at George through half closed eyes. I don't know where he is but he hasn't your sweater any way and- Well, where is it 7 Can't you refrain from interrupting? I'm trying to make a long story short. Well, make it snappy. Harold gave it to Claude and Claude gave it to Jay to give to Harley and, well, it'll cost you 50 cents to know the rest. Say-I'm not the U. S. mint! Neither am I-well, are you going to pay 7 Well here it is, now where is my sweater? Thank you. As I was saying, she pocketed the money. Jay gave it to Harley to give to me, and reaching under a pillow on the davenport she handed him his sweater, so here it is. Well, can you beat it? Isn't that just like a Soph '? as cc 44 Page 40 THE DIARY OF A YELLOW DOG March 30-Oh gee, the days are dreary. Only had two fights, got shot at three times and almost run over once. Also ain't had anything to eat, but I guess I'll go to bed now and tell you more tomorrow. March 31-Can't write much today. Got hit on the head with a stone and now I got an awful headache. The cat and I had a terrible fight. The cat got the Worst of it and now my owner is going to give me away. April 1-Oh boy. I'm in the finest home you ever saw. I got a nice little bed to sleep in, all I want to eat and last night I had the best steak you ever set your eyes on and-oh well, I can't keep this up any more- April Fool! April 2-Oh death where is thy sting! Last night I ate a bone that was old when Xerxes was a little boy and now I am so sick I can hardly move. I sure won't eat any old bones any more. April 3-At last I'm able to move but don't say anything about bones to me-oh gee, why did I look over there? The first thing I saw was an old bone and-Oh I just got to quit writing or I sure will die. April 4-Well I ain't dead yet but I won't have to go far before I am dead. I guess tomorrow I will go and look for a new home. April 5-I got in a peck of trouble today, had three fights and got licked every time. I hope no one gets to read this 'cause I don't want them to know what a poor fighter I am. April 6-Guess what I found today! A new home! Yes, a boy saw me going down the street so he called me in and fed me and put me to bed and I just think I'll stay here and not write any more in this old diary. COOKING Where's my dish towel '? Kathryn can I borrow yours ? How long do we cook this stuff? I don't like it, do you ? asks Thelma. Hasn't Miss Risser the sweetest bob ? Oh kid, I saw him again last night, he was- Well, I saw the best looking- Sh-here comes Miss Risserf' Does this look all right, Miss Risser?'l asked Maedene quietly. Heavens! What will I do? That cake's burning and I can't take it out for five minutes yet, wailed Melba C. Suddenly the hub dub ceases as Miss Risser's cool, imperative voice is heard. I'm afraid some of you will be disappointed in your grades this monthf, There is a sudden pause in the spirited conversation. Gradually the damper of Miss Risser's words loses its silencing effect and the battle again rages. We practice the operetta tonight, don't we 7 whispered Katie. I don't know, I guess so, was the answer. Dorothy, where's our dish cloth '? c1'ied Juanita frantically. I don't know. Make it snappy. There goes the bell. So ends a perfect cooking period. 44 an as cc if Page 41 M. H. S. IN UTOPIA It was late in the evening and I was trying in vain to concentrate on my review for a test the next day. It was impossible, so I lay my books down, dreamily closed my eyes and soon was in the land of dreams. Suddenly I heard some one talking. It was Colette, my French maid, who informed me it was time to arise and get myself hence to the place of learning. I crawled wearily out of my satin covered bed and dressed. After drinking a cup of chocolate I summoned James, my chauffeur, to bring my Rolls-Royce sedan, which my father had given me to play with. The platinum pavement was slippery due to a rain we had had the night before and James had to drive very slowly. As a result I was late. I stepped inside the elevator and went to the assembly room. Why are you late ? inquired the principal. I do not choose to answer such a preposterous question, I answered carelessly, and went to my seat. The seats were velour upholstered rock- ing chairs. During the study periods we orderd ice cream sodas or any- thing we wanted and got it. Good conduct was a thing of the past and the more one cut-up the better grades one got. Every pupil enrolled drew ten dollars a day except Freshies and they drew five. Pay day was every Friday. We had at least two parties a week and movies every afternoon. Teachers especially unreasonable were promptly dismissed by the pupils and we chose the subjects we wanted to take. The first class I had was held in the candy kitchen and ice cream parlor. One had to eat all period. I made my poorest grades in this. Paul Brown took this for three periods and passed with the highest grades in the class. As a reward he was given a trip to Europe, by Mr. Kent. In English we read Elinor Glyn's books and the newspapers and had no written work. When I did not choose to study I usually spent my time in the swimming pool in the gym or went shopping. We had all holidays off and went on a vacation whenever we cared too. The boys played basket ball most of the time as that was the most important subject in high school. Bump! Suddenly I felt a pressure on my head and awoke to find my head resting very uncomfortably on the arm of the chair. On the floor lay my books and I remembered the test for the next day. With a sigh I picked them up and thought what a pity things must be as they are. -Senior, '26. Page 42 HIS ONLY CONSOLATION Davie emerged from the high board fences, that line the alley on both sides, with cautious step and look. He bent half way over trying to sneak past unobserved. Having deposited his books in a secret place and exchanged them for some valuables, he broke into a run when he was out of danger. Being just a small boy his only hope was that he wouldn't meet Big Dan. Dan was quite angry at Davie and he might detain him so long his gang would go away and they wouldn't get to have their regular meeting as they had planned. He had other fears toog Sissy Kanley might see him and run to school and report him as playing hookey. Then, there was Nora McGuire of whom his gang had a particular fear. They had seen her angry at them just once and she had denounced all members of the gang with such emphasis that-well they had a profound respect for Nora. He met Dick Jones, who didn't belong to his gang and Dick said, he heard the teacher say if David Emerson Williams McCaulay was absent or tardy once more -he didn't say what would happen but when their teacher talked that way, all the pupils took a sudden soul inspiring inter- est in school. Dick was on his way to school and he told Davie in a warn- ing tone that he had better go too. Davie was well acquainted with the school master so he ran home and once more changed his valuables for his much hated books. He hurried to school lest he should be late. Mar- jory Wilson was on her way to school too. Why, David! she always called him David which set her high among daughters of men according to his estimationg I thought I saw you on your way to the camp. Oh! I'll bet you were going to play hookey, weren't you Me'? He looked at her side Ways. Of course not, well, er, not eggzakly. I was going to but-say! Ain't I a respectable feller? I'm going to get a good education. We got a nawful good teacher and he might not like it if I didn't come n' I wouldn't hurt his feelings. Oh, you're so noble! Marjory added in ecstasy. Yes, ain't I tho ? Whereupon he saw himself adorned in armorH Napoleon II. They were in the school yard by this time which was very much de- serted. Approaching the door they read, No school. Teacher sick. Davie's heart jumped. He threw down his books and ran and ran. He reached the camp only to find that deserted also. His heart fell! They had been there but had left because he had been late. He went home crest- fallen. One glorious day spoiled. But- Ain't I noble tho! -Eileen Kent, '26. Page 43 LIVE STOCK J UDGING Harold Hartzler became interested in live stock judging through the efforts of Mr. Covalt of Goshen High School and Mr. Jackson, County Agent. He tried out for the Elkhart County team in 1924 and winning in this he went to the State Fair to judge dairy cattle, beef cattle, swine, sheep, and draft horses. The team won sixth in all judging and first in swine. This entitled them to a trip to the National Swine show at Peoria, Illinois. The hundred dollars awarded him for expenses proved adequate and the trip was a very enjoyable one. In the County Fair held at Goshen, he won second place, missing first place by one point. The next contest was held at Indianapolis. Here he won first in the Northern District and first in dairy cattle judging, for which he won a gold medal. This entitled him to attend the International Exposition at Chicago. November 28, Harold went to Chicago and stayed about four days. During this time he was entertained most royally as were the other win- ners and delegates from the various states. In addition to several ban- quets and sight seeing tours, horse show, and visit to the Field Museum which was most interesting, they were addressed by Secretary of Agricul- ture Jardine. His many experiences, besides the good times are certainly worth while and are very educational. We feel quite proud of Harold's achievements. It is quite an honor to him and also to the school. TEACHER WINS GREAT HONOR The greatest honor conferred on any teacher or pupil in the history of the school was recently bestowed upon a teacher of M. H. S. Such a national honor deserves mention. A piece of machinery capable of going from Millersburg to Elkhart without lights, gas, oil, or water and the driver capable of steering said piece of machinery when the snow was freezing on the wind shield which condition marred the vision of the driver, is wonderful. The driver being so small that she could not see over the steering wheel and driving at a moderate speed of sixty miles an hour, taking corners at fifty-eight per, on two wheels, one tire on said wheel being iiat, is more wonderful. Such driver and piece of machinery is the Thirteenth wonder of the world. When a certain wealthy manufacture in Detroit was informed of the re- markable feat, he immediately appropriated the neat sum of twenty million to be used in erecting a monument to said driver, also requested that said piece of machinery be placed on exhibition in his back yard. -Weary Editor. Page 44 I DIARY OF A SMALL BOY April 26-It's Monday again. Yesterday wuz an awful trial. Gee, I'm glad school's out in a way. It's almost as bad though to be home coz I hafta hoe garden 'bout every day. I asked mom to let me go swimmin' but she sed the water ud be too cold. Gee whiz that's sure takin' the joy outa life. I'm going' purty soon jest the same. April 27-Made garden all morning and cleaned yard a while this afternoon. Tom Brown, Bill Smith and Teddy Williams came past while I wuz cleaning yard and we decided we'd go swimming tomorrow if we had to sneak off. Which we will. And Jim, my kid brother, herd us talking an' sed he'd tell mom ef we clidn't take him along. Imagine a kid like him a'swimmin'. Haw! Haw! I boxed his ears for nibbin' into other peoples business and mom made me go to bed but he didn't tell on us. He's scared of me, you just bet he is. If he had I'd of got even with him somehow. April 28-After I'd hoed garden awhile this morning I sed to mom- guess i'll walk over to Tom's awhile. Git back by dinner time. Jim walked down the street with me an' sed, I'm goin' along. I guess you won't, I sed, real quick. You're too little, an' walked on. He followed me awhile. Git home, I sed. I'll tell on you if you don't take me along-I'll give you a marble-Let me see, it, he sed. So I got rid of him. Tom sed he'd git the gang together this afteroon an' go swimmin'. We went. The water looked awful warm. I sed to Teddy I new the water ud be warm. I could told you that long ago, he sed. It was awful cold but I sed, its not cold-altho' the chills wuz runnin' up an' down my spine-Tom sed, no-his teeth chat- tering and lookin' kinda, blue in the face. We had a fine time if the water hadn't been so cold. April 29-Ain,t much to tell. I'm not feeling so good, having a fearce headache and soar throat. Anyhow I got outa hoeing garden today. I don't no how I got it, hoeing garden I expect. Its been kinda damp out lately of evenings 'specially. Mom put some flannel around my neck, its awful sticky an' hot. Jim peeked his head in the door an' sed, I told you so-You did not, I sed-Well I new it any way, he sed-git out of here and where you belong. It ain't your business an' if you dast tell I'll hammer you 'till youre soft, I sed, real mad. April 30-Feeling better. Mom looked wise and sed she expected I hoed too much garden and laffed. I wonder if Jim told her. If he has he'd better watch out coz I'm awful when I'm mad. Jim knows it too. May 1-Feeling all right only mom made me keep the flannel on. Saw Teddy this afternoon. He looked at the flannel an' sed, you've had it too. We looked at each other and grinned. He sed, do you suppose swimmin' caused that? Good nite, no. We did it all last summer an' it never made us sick. He sed, Bills sick and so is Tom. Just then Jim came runnin' out and hollered as loud as he could that mom sed I should come in and learn my verses for Sunday school. So I went in. I'm glad Sunday only comes once a week. May 2-Went to Sunday school of course. Nuthin' interesting to tell. Had to go to my cuzin's in the afternoon. Had an awful time. Here's hopin' she don't rain tomorrow. Page 45 r 'mls '. 1 E! .

Slowly a light comes from somewhere- maybe Moses Moon. Yes. that's who it was for now he was smiling affectionately at the scene below. In the beautiful flower garden of the Wealthy O'dells, the rose bushes tremble, the leaves on the trees flutter. slight noises are heard and hun- dreds of fairies creep from their hiding places. These airy creatures, dressed in white and wearing crystal jeweled slippers on their feet and wreaths of rosebuds around their heads, are invisible to mortal eyes. Their wings are transparent gold but in the light of the moon they are many colo1's. Once in the garden they dance sprightly, for whoever heard of fairies that didn't dance? The water sprites aren't here yet, they are so slow! The head of a fairy is seen through a small crevice in the wall screaming for help for she is fast. Oh. Myra. dear, you should have known that crevice was too small for even the tiniest of us. But I don't believe you are hurt. 'We are having such a lovely time, do hurry, VVhy, Princess Te-wee, you don't sympathize a bit. Did you know I was nearly killed this evening? Oh, Myra! Yes, I was. I came from that rose bush behind the lotus trees too soon for some of the people were still here but I didn't see them. I went asleep on one of those benchea and one of those big giant people nearly sat on me. His name was Bill, he didn't see me and- Oh, no. of course not. Those kind are so-oh well-let's dance. Moses Moon is so excited IIGYS nearly blinding me with his light. VVe sent the fire tiles nearly a week ago to tell him about tonight and Myra, twelve nights from tonight we are to come here again. I'lll so glad you told me, Princess. I might have come on the eleventh night and that careless Bill would have sat on me for sure. Oh, there's Noris! VVhy don't you come down here? -VVhy' stay up in that tree all w1'apped up in that leaf? I'm cold. I think I'm getting that awful fever. If I am over half of us will be ill. There goes Queen Veve to the wishing Phone. The huge tower at midnight turns into a wishing phone and as some one wishes for something a tiny light ap- pears. Only fairies can see these lights and if a fairy goes there and listens she can hear people' wishes. Shes coming back already. Let's hurry and meet her. Oh, dear me! Those foolish mortals! One wants more money and she has plenty now. Another wants more clothes. One of them used the naughtiest words but I shan't. tell you because such things are too worldly for fairies' ears. And one of them wished his rich uncle would die and- Oh! Oh! horrible! six fairies had fainted. The water sprites hurried to them, danced around them and cried ever so long. Finally they revived but they were cold and shivery so they had to go up in the trees and w1'ap up in the leaves to keep warm. The rest of them danced until Queen Veve said: Oh, I almost forgot to tell you what Jack Frost said. He was angry because we didn't come to his party and we just couldn't coz we had one of our own. Well. he's going to see Mr. VVinter and have him come much earlier than he intended to. But look. the sentinels are coming from the hill top. It's getting late. The grass is waking up! I can even see Solomon Sun coming. F111 afraid he'l1 Soon be here. Oh, do hurry! Good-bye. , -Lady Narcissus. Page 46 mum 1 I am Peter Pan, the Piper at the Gate of Dawn! I am the Song of Birds!

Since then many other states have adopted this as a part of their music course. To prove that we were Wide awake, we entered the contest the first year and held the distinction of being the only school in this county to have a team. We have had one team to enter the District contest each year until this year. A local contest is held first, the three contestants having the highest score go to the county contest to compete with winners from other schools of the county. The team winning the highest score is eligible for the District Contest. The Winning team of the District enters the State Con- test. A state committee selects thirty-five records which is the oflicial list for all schools in Indiana. The contestants must be so familiar with the record that they can recognize any portion of it when played for only five seconds. They must also know the composer and his nationality. Fifty-five seconds are given to write. Spelling and punctuation also count. One hundred forty points constitute a perfect score. For every mistake a certain number of points are deducted. A team consists of five pupils but only three write. In our local contest in High School this year, Maedene Cripe won firstg Catherine Rockenbaugh second, and Katie Bitner third. The grades also had a team and in the local contest, Opal Kaulfman won first, Opal Steele, second, and Thelma Kauffman, third. Both grade and High school teams journeyed to Goshen to the County contest, March 19th. They were not as successful this year as other years and did not win. Our ambtion is to have more time next year to devote to music memory work and four ambitions are soaring! to be eligible for the State Contest. Another part of our music is High School chorus. This consists of all members of High school and is held once a week for one period. During basket ball season a part of this time is devoted to athletic songs and yells. Occasionally Music Memory work is given. There are two classes in sight reading consisting of beginners and advanced pupils. This is given one period a week for each class. The first semester there were several instrument classes. Those who took this practiced diligently on their instruments and the last semester began playing in the orchestra. aff Page 47 THE GIRLS GLEE CLUB FIRST ROW Mrs. Kent, director, Gladys Honderich, Eileen Kent, Marie Lovell, Lucille Howser, Mildred Leer, Melba Cooper, Clara Whirledge, Mary Leer, Marjorie Shaffer, Gearldine Chrisman, Katie Bitner, Lois Kauffman, Juanita LeCount SECOND ROW Eula Kurtz, Lucile Stoner, Arloine Hostetler, Lottie Long, Dora Manges, Mildred Fisher, Mary McDowell, Maedene Cripe, Beulah Lantz, Grace Larimer, Edith Larimer, Florence Roach, Thelma Dunlap, Helen Stoner THIRD ROW Martha Kuhn, Grace McKibbin, Margaret Biscomb, Lucille Lovell, Eudean Rockenbaugh, Catherine Rockenbaugh, Dorothy Harper, Bertha Prough, Helen Roach, Mary Ulery, Edna Garber, Viola Garber, Edith Rohrer, Wilma Pletcher fNot in picture, Delphia Dunlap, SaBina Dirksl President ,.........,,,....,..,.,.,,,...,...,.....,,,,,...

The Creightons are a proud, aristocratic family of Virginia. There is a mortgage against their home which is held by Moxley. Charlie Claxton calls one day and upsets their finance further by presenting a letter from Wilton Crossly who requests that a five thousand dollar note be paid which was borrowed years ago. Soon after this, Thompson, one of the Creighton servants alias Wilton Crossly is revealed by Charlie Claxton as Wilton Crossly. As the Creightons are unable to pay the note, Crossly hits upon the brilliant plan of having the Creightons work for him while his home is remodeled in the village. His main reason for doing this is to give orders to Virginia Creighton who is very proud and aristocratic. In con- sideration of their services Crossly cancels the note. Peggy, the cook, re- signs after being paid by Crossly. During Peggy's absence Mrs. Farness, Bess, Virginia and Frank have all the work to do. Douglas Lane persuades some trash to move on the property adjoining the Creighton lots, thus de- creasing the value of it. He also persuades Moxley to foreclose on the mortgage. Crossly learns of Lane's plan and deposits a huge chunk of coal under the Creighton lots. However, the Creightons do not know this. When Lane discovers the coal he decides to buy the lots for ten thousand but Crossly intervenes and asks twenty thousand. Lane, thinking there are large deposits of coal under the lots, buys them for twenty thousand. Crossly then explains the chunk of coal and all difficulties are accordingly straightened out. Peggy adds her share of comedy and the play is both amusing and delightful. Page 57 AUNT BILLY FROM TEXAS The Junior Class presented Aunt Billy from Texas, a comedy in two acts, November 18 and 19.

The fi1'st half syracuse outclassed the locals and the score at -half time was 29 to 13, with Syracuse leading, The second half the locals played a good defensive and offensive game in which the locals ont- rcored Syracuse but Syracuse had too big a lead and our boys lost by the count of 43 to 29. Oct. 30 Nappanee There The Millersburg High School varsity five were badly defeated in their second game of the season by the swift, alert and strong Nappanee quintet which at the end of the first half the score was 20 to S in favor of Nappanee. The Nappanee quintet in the last half hit the iron doughnut from all angles on the floor and the locals were simply ontclassed throughout the game which ended with a score of 52 to 11. Nov. 7 Wakarusa There Displaying a vast improvement in their play, the Millersburg High School Basket Ball team had little trouble in winning from Xvakarusa High at Wakarusa Saturday night by a score of 32 to 12. The game was originally scheduled for Friday night but had to be postponed on account of the dedication exercises at the new VVakarusa High School building. B1'own, Millersburg forward, was the high point man of the game. He secured a total of 241 points in addition to playing a fine floor game.

Nov. 14 ' Lakeville There The Millersburg High School Varsity Basket Ball team lost to the Lakeville varsity, Saturday night at Lakeville, final score 22 to 19. The main attraction of the evening was a hotly contested game between the two varsities, and the Mil- lersburg varsity was defeated only in the final minutes of the fray. The game was fast, and both varsities had a strong defense, and also played a good offensive game. The score at half time was 11 to 9 in Lakeville's favor.

They purchased a Speed Ball, and some lumber to build goals on the court. It was decided, by the association, to play Speed Ball until the Basket Ball season opened. No games were scheduled with other schools, the game was played by the association members in order that they might get in shape for Basket Ball. A new outdoor game for all-that's Speed Ball. Wherever tried, the game has been an immediate and unqualified success. It speeds up foot- ball, lends scoring possibilities and wider range of strategy of soccer, and brings the best features of basket ball out into the open air. The advantages of the new game are that it combines passing, kick- ing and dribbling. There is more scoring in the game and the game is easier to learn. The scoring shall count as follows: Field goal three points, touchdown two points, penalty kick one point, and drop kick one point. There are eleven players on a team the same as there are on a foot- ball team but the positions are somewhat different. The playing field has the same outside dimensions as the regulation football field, being a rectangle 360 feet by 160 feet. The two longer boundaries are called sidelines, and the two shorter boundaries the end lines. There shall be a referee and two linesmen, and the referee shall be in general charge of the game. The game shall consist of 4 quarters of ten minutes each with a two minute rest interval between the first and the second, and the third and the fourth quarters, and ten minute rest intervals between halves. TRACK MEET Millersburg High School track and field team are training very hard in order to win the Elkhart County Track Meet which is held at Goshen. The Seniors of 26 of Millersburg are looking forward to a cham- pion track team this year. Pancratz is training for pole vault, high jump, broad jump and all of the runs.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL Baseball is a sport which has never been fully developed in Millers- burg. One reason for this is the fact that the high school is unable to develop a good pitcher, and the athletics devote most of their time to other sports such as Track, Speed Ball and Basket Ball. Every year the High school plays a series of class baseball games. The Senior class of this year has a good class team as they have won the baseball series for three years. The black, fight! fight!

It was very cold but we finally got there. The dinner was one long to be remembered. Games and con- tests took up most of the time. After such a hilarious day the Weather did not seem nearly so cold. The evening of October twenty-first the members of the Girls Glee Club entertained their mothers at a supper held in the High School build- ing. The Hallowe'en spirit was carried out in decorations. A testimony meeting was held in which the girls told how they earned the money for their new costumes. Games and contests followed and an enjoyable evening was spent. Delphia and Thelma Dunlap delightfully entertained the Freshman class at a masquerade Hallowe'en party on October 31, 1925. Prizes were given to the best and funniest dressed people. Many games were enjoyed followed by contests after which dainty refreshments were served. The Seniors held an April fool party in the school building. Supper was served in the Domestic Science room. Chocolate candy, in disguise chocolate covered onions, were very much appreciated by Claude Pan- cratz and several interested spectators. The crowd was somewhat alarmed when they discovered they were locked in but after several boys climbed out of the window and unlocked the doors and set the nineteen captives free they felt somewhat relieved. With all the excitement a good time was enjoyed by every one. Page 77 CLASS NIGHT PROGRAM Presidents Address .....,., . ...,................,.......,,,........,..
