We ask you to be lenient in your criticisms. We admit that it is far from perfect, but as our first attempt at anything in the way of literature it would be nigh impossible to produce a faultless work. in this book we have aimed to picture our school in its daily life that the graduate in future years may recall the happy time when he passed thru M. H. S. He will remember his first year, how he held aloof from the faculty, not understanding their real natures; hov r he became acquainted w ith them in the following years ; how the class was knit together by association, good-times, common tasks and purposes ; until he will see the class assembled in the auditorium listening to the parting words of good will to its members which will then be scattered thruout the country. If we have been able to paint such a picture we are satisfied, and the Miskodeed will truly be the ' Spring Beauty of our Junior Year. JJrngr ss of ilishauiaka Schools Written by Marg D. Welch. Principal of High School, Mishawaka WA HE Ordinance of 1787 contains this significant sentence: JJ Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good BO( government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the Ij: means of education shall be forever encouraged. The Northwest Territory, of which our own s tate was an import- ant part, was thus founded upon the rock of popular education. No city has followed this ideal more heartily than the city of Mishawaka. The growth of our schools has kept pace with our progress in every other department of municipal life. Phenomenal as has been the industrial energy of Mishawaka in the past decade, the development of our public schools has been no less wonderful. From a central school and a frame Battell school building, our physical equipment has within a few years expanded into four flourishing ward schools, and a new high school building, unsurpassed by any city of equal size in America. However a good school system does not depend entirely upon a good building. The spirit and inner life of any educational institution is far more important than the structure in which such school is contained. In proportion to our improvement externally, there has been real progress internally. The number of young men and wromen in our graduating class of 1910 was three times that of the usual classes of ten years ago. In Athletics, that most important element in modern education, our schools are maintaining their proper place in the school-w orld of Indiana. Howf many of the truly great men of today wrere taking a wholesome interest twenty years ago in manly sports, such as base-ball, foot-ball, track events and the many other avenues in which strength asserts itself. Probably the leading statesmen, workmen and capitalists of Indiana in years to come are today heartily enjoying some game of skill, where the muscles of the body come into free-play. In public speaking our boys and girls today are taking an interest which will amply repay them in practical life. How attractive and useful is the ability to speak intelli- gently and forcibly upon a public question. The graduates of our High School in those vocations requiring forensic ability have not been found wanting. It is highly probable the training they have received in our literary societies has contributed largely to these results. We might also proceed to outline the progress of our schools in the business department, so essential in the modern High School course. A good beginning in manual training has been made in the grades and it is expected that we shall soon have a manual training teacher in the High School. In our ne-w building a large room has been set apart for this w ork. In a town like Mishawaka, where manufacturing institutions are so large a factor, this sort of w ork in the High School will meet an urgent need. Art-work ■with us has been put on a credit basis, the work is practical and along the line of the crafts. Our chorus of nearly one-hundred-fifty voices receives training that makes for better music in our churches and com- munity. Formerly the H. S. teaching force in Mishawaka consisted of a principal and one assistant. Today we have a specialist in each subject. As a result in literature, science, history, mathematics and the languages — the fundamentals of every liberal education — the results secured are much more satisfactory. Whom shall we thank for these advances? We naturally think first of our superintendent, who has quietly, ably and industriously guided the energies and resources of our school system. We turn to the members of our Board of Education. Mishawaka has been fortunate in having upon its school-board its most representative citizens, men vv ho have always been guided by one consideration only — the betterment of the school system under their charge. These men should through life revert with pride to their unselfish efforts in behalf of the youth of Mishawaka. Finally, in considering the factors which have contributed to our magnificent growth in Educational lines, let us not forget the people of Mishawaka. It would be very easy for any community favored w ith rapid industrial and economic prosperity, such as Mishawaka has known, to neglect its schools. Material prosperity often means neglect of the higher things. In the midst of worldly prosperity, our people have not forgotten their spiritual and intellectual requirements. A finely-equipped Hospital, a beautiful Orphans ' Home, magnificent church structures and an unsur- passed physical equipment for its schools prove the temperament of our people. This community believes in its public schools and cooperates thoroughly w ith its teachers in their daily w ork. How fine it is for a teacher to feel behind him the sympathy and encouragement of parents and patrons. No community in America stands back of its teachers more loyally than does Mishawaka. Our city ' s slogan. All for Mishawaka, is well illustrated by the relation of parent, pupil and teacher. We have discussed the past and present of Mishaw aka public schools. What of the future? First of all, we want every boy and girl of school age in our city to realize the vs ealth of opportunities here in our city schools. There are hundreds of small colleges in America that cannot offer the student the advantages of botanical, chemical and physical labor- atories such as our new High School building contains. The large universities of scarcely a generation back did not have the equal of our auditorium, offices, gymnasium and domestic science kitchens. Let us hope that the boy and girl who have at their very door such rich con- veniences may not neglect them. Secondly, we want the interest of our parents thoroughly sustained in our pupils. If the boy is not progressing as well as he should in school, we vi ant the father and mother to visit the recitation room. If the teacher, the father, the mother and the pupil can all fully understand each other, success will inevitably crown our mutual efforts. In conclusion, we feel Mishawaka should count among its richest assets, its modern educational system. Side by side with our prosperous factories, beautiful churches and wholesome homes should stand our free public school. MARY D. WELCH, A. B.

Class Htstary es ]T is not difficult to portray the history of an ordinary class. Its accomplishments and attainments present nothing unusual, f sJ ' and admit of ready comprehension. All that is needed in such a case is a chronological statement of facts, intermingled with a few statistics and the history is complete. But it is different with the class upon whom Providence has lavished such a wealth of gifts as to raise it above all others. The principal events of its career may be easily narrated, but when these have been presented in the fullest measure, how inadequate and unsatisfactory it still remains! That, which distinguishes it from all others and exalts it high above them, is felt to be untouched. Strange and beautiful flowers may burst forth under our very gaze; but the marvelous energy that produces them remains invisible and mysterious. Therefore, it w ould be useless to endeavor to give an accurate and finished history of the class of 1 9 I 1 . The fall of 1907 marks a new era in the history of the Mishawaka High School. From that time it has made wonderful advancement, and ranks high among the best schools in the state. When the class of 11 entered the school as Freshmen, everything assumed a new aspect. Athletics received a strong impetus that has placed the Maroon and White in the front ranks, especially in Basket-ball. The literary programs became more interesting, school music was mater- ially benefited, an art class was formed as v ere numerous other organizations, vvfhich tended to promote greater activity and interest among the students. The class of ' 11 wras the stimulating element that brought about this remarkable change. The first two years were uneventful. Newf friendships were made, w hich in a few instances developed into something more serious, but for the most part, they have proven v arm and fast during the tempestuous voyage thru the mysterious realms of knowledge. Knowing full well the meaning of the old adage, Time and tide wait for no man; the class declined to wraste their time in petty pennant fights and flashy social events; but seized the golden opportunity offered them for mental advancement, and laid the foundations on which to build a life of usefulness and accomplishment. The other classes in the school were not long in perceiving that this class v as far above the ordinary, and prompted by a spirit of inferiority, they humbled themselves in the presence of its members and sought their advice and council on all matters of importance and weight. The School Board, too, was not insensible to the fact that this was an exceptional class, and realizing that the old High School building was sadly deficient for its development, began to take steps toward the erec- tion of a more suitable edifice, one in fact that would be a fitting place for their Commencement. As a result Mishawaka possesses one of the finest High School buildings in the state. The Junior year proved to be less strenuous and numerous class affairs w ere enjoyed. Chief among these were the Annual Junior Supper given in the Annex prrlors Feb. 18, 1910, and a Banquet held in honor of the class of ' 10 at the new Mishawaka Hotel, May 24. The Supper w as a great success socially and financially, and the Banquet eclipsed all those given by former classes. The Senior year was a continued demonstration of ability. Success followed success, until the crowning event was the presenta- tion of the opera H. M. S. Pinafore, Feb. 23, 24 and 25. Scarcely, if ever, has a class in any school been able to furnish talent for the entire cast in a performance of this nature. The manner in which it was given and received exemplifies all that has been said regarding the class and is alone sufficient to place it high above all others. The mere word surprised cannot properly express the feelings of the entire school when the resignation of our science teacher. Miss Abbey, w as announced. It seemed impossible that we could finish our high school career w ithout her. But her place has been ably filled by another. Miss Chandler, vho has been received with much favor. During four years, the enrollment of the class has greatly deteriorated, but it is thus with any class and those who remain are bound together by a closer tie of friendship, which, we hope will not decay as time rolls on but will be a mutual help toward greater success in the future. LESLIE C. MOREHOUSE. ' 11. Ollass Praphrcy !! KNOW a woman who possesses a wonderful ring. She would never tell me how it came into her possession, but one day she granted me a very great favor by means of this ring. The mysterious power contained in the ring enables her to see into the future. 1 was called upon to write the prophecy for the Senior Class and I greatly doubted my ability to foretell the events of the future successfully. But when 1 told this woman of the task set before me she said she would come to my aid. When? 1 asked eagerly. Right away, if you like, she answered. So she sat down in a large easy chair in front of the big open fire, and I sat on a cushion at her feet. 1 was very curious to know how she used the ring so 1 watched every movement intently. It was dusk and the open fire threw dark shadows in the corners of the large room, making, it seemed to me, a fit setting for so mysterious a revelation. She sat silent for a short time, turning the ring slowly on her finger three or four times, and then look- ing into the fire began to speak: 1 see a huge steamer in the New York harbor. It is named the Mauretania and is a passenger vessel bound for Europe. Tw o people are just stepping to the deck from the gang-plank. The man is mediumly tall and rather heavy set with dark hair and eyes. His companion is a beautiful young woman with light hair and gray eyes. It is easy to see that they are on their wedding trip, for the trunks, which bear the initials H, P. G. are so evidently new. Madeline Woodward, 1 interrupted, excitedly. She smiled, and turning the ring again, continued: Now 1 see a cozy little home surrounded by a pretty lawn. On the porch I see Nita Sw ayne rocking contentedly as she w orks on a bit of embroidery. This time 1 am in the balcony of the Senate Chamber at Washington. On the floor below a Senator is eloquently discoursing. In the Senator I recognize Leslie C. Morehouse. She paused again but 1 did not speak this time. Two people, a man and a young woman, are before the w indow in the County Clerk ' s office. He has just signed a paper which he gives them, and peering over their shoulders 1 see that the name of the girl is Grace Stuller. The next scene is in the gymnasium of a girls ' college. A large class of girls are executing drills and performing other gymnasic feats under the able directorship of Miss Pauline Hawk. My attention is now caught by some flaming posters announcing the performance shortly to be given by a famous actress in a successful comedy. Going into the play-house I am much surprised when the star comes on to discover that she is Ruby Switzer. TirtfFTry V, ' Now 1 am being conducted into what seems to be a music studio. Inside one of the great masters of the present day is engaged in giving a lesson to Ahne McQuillen, one of his most promising students. The scene changes to a large office. The furnishings indicate that it is the private office of a very wealthy business man. Miss Vita Lewis is taking dictation from the man at the desk. My next visit is to a school-room and the teacher in charge is Miss Genevieve Luce. 1 should judge from the character of the students that it is a class in a girls ' boarding school. The next scene is in a hospital. The ward contains three beds, and a pleasant faced nurse, in whom 1 recognize Florence Fuller, attends the patients. Presently the physician enters and the nurse address him as Doctor Davis. Next appears to me the office of the principal of the High School in Springfield, Illinois, where Miss Emma Raifsnider presides at the desk. Now 1 am in a large church during the morning service. From the pulpit Paul Weimer, D. D., is speaking to a greatly interested congrega- tion. Next 1 enter the busy office of Herman Fries, a successful business man. He has a number of stenographers and clerks at work, among whom I recognize Crystal Hartsock and Myrtle Gebhart. The next is rather indistinct, but it is gradually taking the shape of a large factory, bearing in huge letters over the door, ' Burnett and Gartner. It is in this building that the famous new two-cycle automobile motor which Mr. Burnett and Mr. Gartner recently perfected, is manu- factured. Here, after vainly turning the ring on her finger a few times, she took it off and tried it on the fourth finger of her left hand. This device proved successful and she want on with her fortune-telling. Again 1 am in church, but this time 1 am a witness to a wedding The crowded church is banked with flowers and greenery. The bride, arrayed in vk hite satin and carrying a shower bouquet of lilies of the valley, slowly passes up the aisle to the altar. 1 do not see her face until she turns to leave the church when 1 find that she is Rhoda Witwer. My next visit takes me again to the theatre, this time it is to vi itness a production of the comic opera, ' The Ma gic Lady in the Moon . The leading roll, a very difficult one requiring a contralto voice of wide range, is taken by Miss Alice Gulp, who delights the large audience with her wonderful voice and her charming presentation of the heroine. The opera reflects great credit on the composer. Earl Victor Prahl, who occupies a box at this performance. 1 hear the man beside me remark that although Mr. Prahl is still so young he is already winning a wide reputation as an artist of first rank. The voice stopped and she sat silent again, still looking into the fire. Not daring to speak lest 1 break the spell I slipped away noiselessly, and hurried home to record what she had revealed to me. MARGARET BURNETT, 12. ' t Senior Who is it now we must endow With every art and grace ? Who is the cynosure of eyes ? The Senior takes that place ! Who makes his bow, then tells us how To set the world aright ? Who is the peer of potentates ? The Senior — note his might ! Who ' s armed with strength of intellect ? Who ' s sedate, wise and good ?

Class Mistaru N the fall of the year 1908 there was gathered together a class of about fifty, as bright and energetic up-to-date Freshies as ever graced the assembly of the M. H. S. They had come to High School to make the most of the privileges accorded them by the city of Mishawaka, to im- prove their opportunities, to go out at the end of four years prepared to take up a higher education which shall enable them to give back in ser- vice to the people what has been given to them with such a lavish hand. To give a full account of the history of the class of 1912 would require much time and space. Just a brief mention will serve as a reminder of the red-letter days in our history. In the Freshman year the class of ' 1 2 did not organize, as many of the members were unable to stay with us. The class was well represented in Athletics, as the Girl ' s Basket-ball team contained a number of very promising young ladies, namely Marguerite White, Marie Curtis and others, who have since made an excellent showing on the school team. In oratory, the class w as ably represented by Glenn Babcock, Iva Ostrander. Helen McQuillen and Bernice Reeder. The beginning of the Sophomore year found the class prosperous although thinned down to about twenty-five members. Very little was achieved in the way of athletics. Our class discussions were led by Margaret Burnett and Glenn Babcock. Realizing that in the all important and critical Junior year much often depends upon its officers, early last fall, Glenn Babcock was elected Pres- ident. Helen McQuillen, Vice-President, Edwin McCollum, Treasurer, and Isadore Barnhart, Secretary. As one of the officers 1 may say that we will do our utmost to protect and further the interests of the Junior class. Daring the fall term, the year book, The Miskodeed, was instituted by the Juniors, the first class to attempt the publication of such a book in this school. To Basket-ball -we contribute today such girls as Marguerite White, Ruth Bortner, Virginia McKinley and many others of equal prominence. Three years ago we entered the High School with many high ambi- tions for great achievements, but today v re look back and see that our success has even surpassed them. Here w e have worked and accomp- lished much but it is but a preparation for something higher. The future will decide whether our achievements are enduring, and if the past and present can foreshadow the future, then there are, indeed, some wonder- ful things in store for the class of 1912 as a fitting reward for its loyalty and faithfulness in all things.

But gradually their eyes became smaller, their mouths shut, and they watched, listened and continued to keep their mouths sealed. The usual call for football candidates came and the Freshies re- sponded by giving more tryouts and having more men make good than any other class in school, supplying both ends, one tackle, one guard and the center. Then came basket-ball. The class of ' 13 once more came to the front, gaining one regular and one substitute. Baseball season opened and the school was not disappointed in getting only two men from the yearlings becauce of the important positions they held on the infield. Fall came, once more they waited with eager hearts for the comple- tion of the new High School building, but to their disappointment, word was given for them to occupy the seats they had vacated in the spring before. But this time they entered with a determination to live down the reputation of being the class of cut ups, by organizing as a class and starting things off in a business-like manner. In the Y. M. C. A. reception, the class of ' 13 made a showing of their athletic ability, holding, with the assistance of the Freshmen, the Seniors and Juniors to a close score in Basket-ball and giving them a close rub in Indoor Base-ball. They were not left out of the football team this year, for they sup- plied both tackles, the center, and quarter-back. At Interlaken the eleven left the gridiron with glad hearts, victor- ious, due to the fast, hard work of every man on the team. But our highest praise can be given to a Sophomore who handled the ball almost perfectly in helping to win the contest for M. H. S. Tired of seeing a school of the size of our High School seem so dead, the Sophs touched things up a little by displaying their most honored colors in the assembly hall. But a Senior captured them in the absence of their keeper. By this time the spirit began to rise, and rise, and rise, — until it got to such a high point that the pupils could not even find their books some mornings when they returned to their diligent grindings. One morning, amidst the other pupils, the Sophs entered the new High School building with even higher resolutions than ever before to make themselves worthy of the Pride of Mishawaka. But let us go back about fifteen hours. While all the other classes ■were asleep, the Sophomores were w orking away, placing the Brown and Gold on the flag-staff of the new home, thereby gaining the honor of being the first to do so. About nine o ' clock the next morning a noise was heard. It w as discovered that a Junior had pulled them dow n. But a Sophie rescued them and saved our record from that shame. Basket-ball this season was the best ever known in the history of M. H. S. The team was made up of three Seniors, two Juniors and one ' ' Soph, so it can plainly be seen by this that the latter always manage to get into everything. Still aiming for the up-most heights of approval the class of ' I 3 give their best wishes to M. H. S. ' WILLIAIVI COLE.

This task is difficult, not because our history is so very extensive, but because, as all Freshies, I have not acquired a sufficient amount of knowledge to enable me to do them justice. This worthy Class of Fourteen came up to High School in Septem- ber full of hope and ambition and intent upon making a good impres- sion. Altho we were only Freshies we determined that we were going to do all we could to raise the standard of the school and of our class. We were not going to wait until we were Seniors to do things. So we vi ' ent right in for everything. We hate to admit this, but it is the truth, we did feel rather IMPORTANT at first, (and that is not a thing of the past, although we have had some of the importance jeered out of us.) The Seniors, as well as the Juniors, seemed to consider us an un- usually ignorant bunch. And then the Sophomores, even, seemed to forget who and what they were just one short year before and thot them- selves superior to the Class of 14. Therefore we w ent thru the usual amount of humiliating experiences standing them bravely enough and w e always remembered to leave our play-things at home. We are proud to say that we were the first Freshman class to organize. That surely was a good beginning. This notable event took place November 14, 1910. The officers elected were as follows: Otho Enyert, President, Harold Rogers, Vice-President, Mildred Towle, Secre, tary, Esther Zimmerman, Treasurer. Regular monthly meetings were held. Our dues are ten cents. We chose purple and white for our class colors. These meetings did not prove to be so very peaceful as the rest of the school seemed extremely anxious to know w hat the Freshmen were doing. Therefore we per. formed before large audiences. Such h as been life in the Freshman year. The time flew by, finally ■we commenced the long-talked-of Solid Session. Christmas came and wrent and with it a vacation of one w eek which was w elcomed by all. We came back after New Year ' s filled with good resolutions and a wild desire to get into the new High School building. At last this long-looked- for event happened. On Monday, January 30, -we moved, and w e were glad that we were not Seniors, for we could look forward to three more happy years of school. As we glance back over these things we do not feel that our first year has been a failure, nor do we hate to think of it for we have had many good times. It seemed hard at first to be the laughing stock of the school but now we are looking forward to the time when we can get even, when the Class of 15 will be our victims. CHARLOTTE TOWLE.

The next instant Alice Pease bounced breezily in upon her room-mate, Rebecca Armstrong, upsetting in i- ;is ■ ' p-«y her progress a dish containing some choice zoological iyDii:r=s:i J specimens belonging to the latter and leaving formaldehyde and dismay in her wake. Oh, Becky darling, I ' m awfully sorry, hastening to sop up the ruin with her Junior cap. Til catch you some more bugs just like those and pickle them but you see I ' m so excited — rescuing Rebecca ' s Calculus from the general flood. ' Oh, don ' t mention it! 1 hadn ' t noticed anything unusual in your entrance, replied Rebecca, deftly collecting whatever remained of the specimens with a skill which showed former experiences along that line. What rule is to suffer the fracture this time? Alice giggled estatically. Becky, you are a dear and— and a seer. You save my modest and retiring soul such stacks of embarrassing explanations. Well, settling herself in the one easy chair which the room afforded and sniffing critically at the Junior cap, to roll the burden off my guilty soul at once, it ' s the eighth. I ' m going to give the boys of my table an oyster supper here at Mrs. Stone ' s tonight at 9:30. ' Miss Pease, ' she continued in mock imitation of the tone of the dean. Miss Marsten, rolling her grey eyes in mock solemnity at the staring and awestricken Rebecca, ' I am exceedingly pained at this latest evidence of your total disregard for authority. ' Don ' t you see my plumes tremble? she added, shaking her head crowned by the Junior cap, with the familiar air which was wont to set all the plumes a-tremble on the well- known hat of the worthy dean. Alice and Rebecca sometimes discussed the question whether or not the dean slept in that beplumed hat since she was never seen without it. Alice wondered if it was here ex officio and called it the dean ' s mantle. Alice Pease! finally gasped Rebecca. You don ' t mean it! ' Don ' t you ever think 1 don ' t mean it! echoed Alice, clasping her hands round her knees and rocking back and forth with very evident enjoyment of her companion ' s consternation. That will make only six rules I ' ve broken this week, Rebecca Armstrong. Now you know, with mock expostulation, I never stop short of ten in that time. If you want to shuffle off, etc., by grinding, that ' s your privilege, but as for me, rising impressively and putting her hand on her heart, give me fractured rules or give me death. This touch of the dramatic proved too much for Rebecca ' s risibles, and the force of the remonstrance which followed was utterly without effect. You knov r that little spread to the foot-ball boys the Stralton Club girls tried to give on the Q. T. apparently with the idea of doing her duty by her misguided room-mate. Did you ever hear who put the mouse into Nell Bentley ' s room? or who hid the chapel hymn books for a week, or who furnished the paint for that late lamented 09 on the gable of the gym? ' nay, conscript fathers, ' with a most oratorical sweep of the sopping Junior cap which sent Rebecca ' s eyeshade flying across the room, ' but we still harbor that enemy within these sacred walls. ' Banquo ' s ghost would be nothing in comparison with the spectres of your misdeeds, if you had a conscience, retorted Rebecca adjusting the rescued eyeshade. And you may just keep that mop at a proper distance. It ' s bad enough — when, she concluded quickly, as Alice showed unmistakable signs of further oratorical efforts, is the festal board to be spread. ' 1 am always pleased to note a kindly interest in the affairs of others, mimicked Alice, straightening up primly, and wickedly shaking her head again with so exact an imitation of Miss Marston s Saturday-afternoon-lecture- air that by an uncontrollable giggle Rebecca owned herself defeated. Now, Becky dear, lapsing into her usual tone, don ' t think the dean ' s mantle has descended on you. You can ' t live up to the part. You see it w as this way, the conspirator went on, we had oysters for supper up at the hall and Teddy Barnes said after supper that he hadn ' t had enough. 1 told him to bring some up here tonight and I ' d cook them for him. Just for fun, you know. Oh, surely. Never dreamed he ' d take you up, murmured Rebecca. Wouldn ' t be like Teddy, you know. Becky you ' re just horrid when you ' re sarcastic and if you don ' t stop 1 shan ' t tell you another thing. Don ' t know but what I ' d survive the deprivation, complacently re- marked Rebecca, reaching up on the book-shelf for a French history with such an air of unconcern that Alice capitulated, and seizing her about the w ai st forced her on to the lounge, thumped dow n tw o pillows on top of her struggling companion, seated herself thereon after a judicious bounce or two, in spite of the groans issuing from beneath and triumphantly but breathlessly inquired, Will you be glad to wel- come the revelations of the party in power? ' Um-um, groaned Rebecca smotheringly, you ' re killing me. Ge-e-e-t of-f-f! I take it my consort is now in a frame of mind to listen to the out- pourings of a full heart, said Alice, giving a farewell pounce which elicited a final groan from the sufferer. Well, rolling off and allowing Rebecca to re-arrange her disordered toilet and collect a fresh supply of breath, I couldn ' t ask Teddy without asking Tommy Jones, for of course he had to be with Teddy when he said that, disgustedly, and if I asked Tommy of course it would never do to leave the ot her boys out. ' What did Mrs. Stone say when you asked her for the kitchen and dining-room? questioned Rebecca, rising and tucking in the last strand of hair, with an air of resignation, and giving a final twitch to her collar. Oh, she ' s all lovely. Trust me for working Mrs. Stone. Guess I havent been in the business for three years without knowing how to circumvent landladies. Well, don t expect me to stretch my conscience in your interests this time, that ' s all, cautioned Rebecca as a final venture, when Alice prepared to descend to get things in readiness. There s hardly a bit of elasticity left in it from that last time when Miss Marsten called and you and Teddy w ere out walking after hours. Oh, you needn ' t look incredu- lous, she really did call. Here ' s her card if you don ' t believe it. ' Patience has really ceased to be a virtue, with regard to you. Miss Pease. This time 1 feel justified in adopting severe measures. It grieves me to think what must be your respected fathers feelings vi hen he hears of this further proof of your — — — a really. Miss Pease, 1 must call it contempt of regulations, ' was Alice s response to this caution, delivered with such perfect impersonation that Rebecca had visions of nodding plumes, and weakly giggled. It just ought to be done! she exclaimed an hour later, vigorously banging together the covers of her Calculus which for the last twenty minutes had not been particularly absorbing, owing perhaps to the numer- ous rings of the doorbell and the savory smells which w ere now creeping up from belowr. Alice Pease deserves a good scare and it vi ouldn t do Teddy Barnes or that little stick of a Tommy Jones a bit harm to catch their breath once in a while. Anyway my ribs ache yet from that squeez- ing Alice gave me. Five minutes later Rebecca -was busily engaged in overhauling the bottom of her trunk. I ' m sure,- oh, 1 just hope 1 have it here, she murmured, stuffily, as she held up the increasing pile of last summers wardrobe with one hand U-m-m, at the bottom of the heap, she finally gasped and dropped on the floor beside the trunk holding up an old Leghorn hat, denuded of its trimmings. It will do, Becky dear, she said a moment later, apostrophizing her- self. Alice Pease wont be over-scrutinizing tonight, and I can just slip down now while she ' s busy and be sure the gas is turned low in the parlor. I do hate to take those plumes off my new hat, she mumbled ten minutes later, with her mouth full of pins, as she snipped vigorously at the adornments in question, but I just havent enough of the old ones. Ill have to have Madame Moniter sew them on again, but anyway, its in a good cause. ' The next instant there was what looked like the avalanche of a small millinery department under the study table as Alice whirled in exclaiming Becky, O, Becky! Where s your little white apron? Let me have it, there ' s a dear. Mine ' s in the wash you know and the boys have all come. Youll find it in the right hand corner of the second dresser drawer, calmly replied Rebecca, whose interest in Calculus at that moment would have surprised good old Prof. Jardan. Ghosts of my former experiencee! she breathed the next moment, dodging under the table in quest of the scattered materials, that was more than a close shave. It was drawing blood. Miss M, to a T. was her verdict as she surveyed the final effect after ten minutes rapid work. I do hope those plumes will stand a few shakes. That ' s the important part. That ' s what will scare. -TWJJfiily- A few trial shakes, as a test, gave the artist such gratifying assurance of future success that she giggled rapturously while she pinned on the hat and quickly donned a long black cape, the rolling collar of which she turned up well around her face. If Alice Pease doesn ' t see herself going home on the 6:20 train tomorrow morning enroute with Teddy and all the rest for a two month o vacation, she said to the reflection in the glass, with a farewell wave of the hand in which she clutched Miss Marsten ' s calling card, it will be because her imaginations paralyzed and not because youre a failure. Now I wonder if 1 can get down those front stairs and out of that front door without their hearing me? Lucky for me that hall light is turned low. Mrs. Stone looked out for that, she whispered softly to herself a moment later, peering down into the semi-gloom of the hail. U-m-m, she added, slipping cautiously down to the second landing, if Her Plumes should take it into her head to walk this way tonight that pile of caps and overcoats might be difficult to explain. Awfully careless of Alice. The next moment she shrank back with beating heart into the dark- est corner of the landing as Teddy Barnes hastily opened the dining-room door into the hall and dived his hand into the pocket of an overcoat depending from the hall-tree. 1 m certain 1 II never die of heart failure, wa s her next comment, as she leaned against the side of the front steps to catch her breath. If Teddy had looked up and seen me coming down those front stairs it would have been all off with me. 1 wish, she murmured next as she edged carefully around the house tovi ards the dining-room windows with a wary eye on the street and keeping in the shadow of the house as much as possible, that that pesky light on the corner wasn t so bright. I don t care to linger out here very long. Hope those dining-room shades are not drawn clear down. 1 v rant to take them red handed and oyster filled. Shades of our respected Faculty! she breathed a moment later as she peeped through a providential inch of space at the bottom of the window shade upon the joyous company assembled around the table. Ellsworth Channing, Soph! And Jensen Burroughs, the bulwark of our College and a mighty Senior! Wouldn t Prexy stare to see him here. And Teddy at the right hand of our radiant hostess, of course. She craned her neck to get a better view of the other members of the party. Oh, yes, Wally McMasters and Tommy Jones, Freshies. Weil, misery and oyster suppers make strange bedfellows. I think its about time I burst in upon that hilarity. The next instant she brought up against the side of the house with a dull thump, having forgotten in the stress of the moment the wire with which Mrs. Stone guarded her chrysanthemum bed from the ravages of dogs and chickens. She paused fearfully in the shadow of the house but the sounds of merriment continued undimished. Giving one final glance up the deserted street she walked with firm tread up the front steps and porch to the front door and pressed the electric button. She listened intently. The sounds of revelry from the dining room which had reached her ears faintly before at once ceased. There was a short scraping sound as of chairs moved back from the table, then an ominous silence. Wonder how those oysters taste now? tittered Rebecca, as she stretched forth an exulting forefinger and once more touched the button. She even prolonged this operation with increasing glee. Perhaps they ' ll not venture to let me in, she said. The next moTient, however, the dining room door into the hall creaked and Rebecca heard slow steps approaching the front door. She had just time to give a final touch to the high collar about her cheeks when the door opened and the startled face of Mrs. Stone appeared in that aperture. ' I]]§Rebecca drew herself up haughtily and stretched forth a slender black gloved hand with the fatal bit of pasteboard to the landlady. Miss Pease, — at once, she murmured w ith all the severity she could command. She rustled impressively after the nervous landlady into the parlor and seated herself with utter dignity in the chair which that unhappy lady assigned to her. The gas, she noted with inw ard satisfaction, was just as she had left it. She felt a half-hysterical inclination to laugh as she aw aited the appearance of Alice. She listened, amusedly, for a moment, to protesting murmurs from the dining room, then to the lagging footsteps approaching through the gloom of the back parlor. The next moment the recreant Alice stood framed in the darkened archway between the two rooms, grasping with one hand the portiere at her side. Her face was pale but she stood with squared shoulders, uptossed chin, and bright defiant eyes. The two girls s urveyed each other an instant and Alice ' s eyes fell. Rebecca v raved an authorative hand towards the davenport. Pray be seated. Miss Pease, she said icily. Alice raised her eyes, hesitated a moment, then dropped on the davenport. She looked down nervously for a moment on her tightly clasped hands, then shot a glance full of trepidation at the stately figure opposite crowned with the beplumed hat. She grasped at the arm of the davenport and swallowed hard. Rebecca cleared her throat impressively. 1 need hardly say. Miss Pease, she began in tones in which the culprit might have detected several tremors had she not been so greatly perturbed, 1 am exceedingly shocked and pained at this latest evidence of your total disregard of authority. 1, — I, began the now trembling Junior. No excuses. Miss Pease, was the stern rejoinder. Rebecca began to feel that her grea test safety lay in short speeches. Patience has really ceased to be a virtue, with regard to you, went on the voice, but w ith most un-Miss-Marston-like little catches. This time I feel justified in adopting severe measures. There was a pause. Alice was dimly sensible of a feeling of famil- iarity as the next words fell on her ears. It grieves me to think what must be your respected father ' s feelings when he hears of this further proof of your — The sob, unmistakable as to character and violence, which burst from the victim at this point, was almost instantly followed by an explosive burst of laughter which brought Alice staring to her feet only to be whirled gaily around by the excited Rebecca while in an ignominious heap on the floor lay the discarded cape and the terrifying hat. ' ] won t deny it was a success for you, Becky, said Alice an hour later with a reminiscent shudder, in a voice which recalled a recent fit of hysterics. It was a fright, now 1 tell you. Even Teddy ' ll admit that. And, resolutely, Rebecca Armstrong, I ' m going to reform. One attack of delirium tremens ought to be enough for anyone. M. E.

[OR years in the history of the High School it had been th custom to give short literary programs, or Lyceums, as they were called, during the school year, participated in by the pupils of the school. It finally became a fixed rule that every pupil must take part at least once each year. It was the wearisome task of the principal to prepare the programs and make them of equal importance and interest. But Lyceum became an irksome duty instead of a pleasure and means were sought by which to create interest among the pupils and also to relieve the principal of this responsibility. So, shortly after the opening of the school year, in the fall of 1910, a plan was adopted which has proven to be very satisfactory. This plan w as that two societies be organized to promote the literary interests of the high school. Steps were taken immediately to divide the pupils according to ability. The constitutions were then drawn up and officers elected. The names Philosophian and Adelphosophian , Literary Societies, were given to the two. But as we are concerned only with the doings of the Philosophians, 1 will not mention those of the Adelphosophians. A feeling of rivalry sprang up from the very first between the two and the members of the program committees were continually trying to outdo the others in arranging interesting programs. But the Phils ' were fortunate in having Miss Alice Gulp for chairman of their committee, as was shown by their excellent programs gotten up under her supervision. Other points of interest are the fine parliamentary drills which the members engage in frequently and the Philosophian Pandora is worthy of notice. It is edited by the members and contains editorials on world- topics of the day, besides reviewing the high school events. The society has a number of talented members in it, along several different lines. Mr. Elmer Hawkins, vice-president of the society, and Lewis Lang, have both shown their interest in public affairs and also their ability as writers by their excellent papers on Current Events. Presi- dent Edward Giblett, Glenn Babcock, Edwin McCollum and Paul Weimer represent the society in its debates and oratorical contests. The Misses Madge Boles and Ruby Sweitzer have distinguished themselves by their excellent reading. The society also has a great number of musicians. Miss Alice McQuillen, the pianist. Miss Alice Gulp, vocal artist, and Paul Weimer, cornetist, furnish the musical numbers of the programs. Thus we can see what a great future is in store for the society and may it prosper in future years as it has in its first year of organization. A PHILOSOPHIAN.

The excellent programs given during the year by the Society exemplify how well it has succeeded. The Society organized Nov. 3rd, 1910. with the following officers: President, E. V. Prahl. Vice President, Leslie C. Morehouse. Secretary, Crystal M. Hartsock. Treasurer, Madeline Woodward. Sergeant-at-Arms, C. M. Gulp. The membership consists of some of the best musical and literary talent in the school and the programs given during the year have proven very interesting and beneficial. The Adelphosophian Review was established with L. C. More- house, Editor, and Onner D. Davis, Assistant. The paper deals with current events, and the serious and amusing incidents of the school. It has formed one of the most interesting features of the programs and inspired the members of the other society to achieve a like degree of popularity by a similar publication; but the Review stands unparalleled in the journalistic circles of the school. At the beginning of the second semester another election of officers was held. The president and vice-president w ere re-elected, the former secretary was elected treasurer, and vice versa. Donald McCollum was elected assistant sergeant-at-arms. The Adelphosophian Society has been established on a firm basis and promises to develop into one of the leading literary organizations of the city. Ihe m. 1|. K Athletic mh ©ratorical Assonatian v J tf a?p M IXH the organization of the Mishawaka High School Athletic and Oratorical Association, athletics in the school received an impetus that will be felt thru the ensuing year. At the beginning of the second semester of the school year of 10, the boys in athletics felt the need of an orsran- ization that should promote athletics and provide funds also. They applied to Mr. Nuner for advice and he, with the aid of Mr. Humiston, drew up a constitution and by-laws which, when put before the school, proved highly satisfactory, and were immediately accepted. Officers were then elected as follows: C. A. Neusbaum, President. G. Service, Vice President, Vesta Tupper, Secretary, Mr. Nuner, Treasurer, and Mr. Humis- ton, Mgr. These officers served faithfully and placed the organization on a running basis. Two weeks before the close of the semester a new board of officers was elected : Onner Davis, President, Edward Giblett, Vice President, Aline McQuillen. Secretary, Mr. Nuner, Treasurer, and Mr. Humiston, Manager. At the beginning of the first semester of the school year of 11, the board instituted a membership campaign between the boys and girls, the winner to be entertained at a banquet by the loser. The campaign proved to be a very enthusiastic and satisfactory one, and at the end of three weeks, when closed, it was found that every member of the school was a member of the Association. It was decided then to hold an enter- tainment for the entire school, each member being assessed equally. On Dec. 6th the entertainment was held in the Annex Christian Association parlors. The large body of students were first entertained at a Basket-ball game between the two girls teams. Refreshments and a social time were then enjoyed after which the first effort of the present school-body along dramatic lines w as produced in the auditorium. As the majority of the students were present a mass meeting was then held, a yell-master elected, and after some rousing yells for the good old M. H. S. the crowd dispersed. Later in the term it was decided to award letters for meritorious work in athletics. A committee was appointed to decide what should be necessary to obtain the letters. After several heated discussions the com- mittee submitted certain proposals which, after several weeks of debate, were adopted by the association. Letters, block Ms were then awarded to Gulp, Fries, Gartner, Enyert, Edward, and Cole. The Basket-ball season now began and as there were no suits for the men the Association voted money to purchase suitable uniforms. The Basket-ball season w as very profitable, the suits w ere paid for and about $60.00 was left in the treasury. Letters, English Ms , were awarded to the following players: C. M. Gulp, Gapt., Huston, Gartner, Giblett, Tramer and Fries. Attention now turned to base ball and again new suits and equipment were needed but as little or no money would be left in the treasury after the purchase, Giblett called for personal subscriptions and $15.00 was raised, making it possible to purchase all the equipment and incidentals necessary for the base ball season.

Not disheartened, the squad was put in shape for the Interlaken game, which was played at LaPorte and, the game being generally conceded to the LaPorte school on account of its superior weight, few M. H. S. followers attended. The tide had turned, however, and Inter- laken fell before the Maroon and White, in the best game of the season. With enthusiasm at a high pitch the Niles high school team was met on the home gridiron and w as held to a tie, neither team scoring. Weakened by the necessity of filling the fullback position with Cole, a line man, and by Gulp ' s bad shoulder, the backfield w as put on the blink, but it was only after a hard fight that Winona Assemby won the last game of the season.

Bonehead ' Gartner played a consistent game at left end, breaking up many end runs which seemed an assured success. Enyert, although a very little man and a Freshman, made good, certainly, at right end getting into the plays before the larger men could get under way. Jersey Edwards and Bill Cole played the games that made them famous at left and right tackle, respectively. Jersey was never known to miss his man, but usually got him by the narrowest margin, a sweater- tail or pants-leg affording him an unbreakable hold. Rusty Russ, Farmer Emerson and Bill Plotner, all Freshmen and all new at the game, made good showings in the guard positions. Emerson, without doubt, will be a great football man in the near future. Huston at center was a tower of strength, his passing being excellent and his open field tackling exceptional. Skinny Garner substituting at end and guard in the early part of the season, but out with a bad rib after the Interlaken game, showed bursts of speed which surprised his teammates. With seven or eight of these men in next years line-up, the outlook is very promising. ©askrt lall far ' ID- ' ll N this popular indoor sport the results of the season have ' more than realized the expectations of our High School rooters and their friends. The outlook for this season was j) exceedingly bright inasmuch as only one valuable man of - last year ' s team graduated, and every position on the team was filled by a veteran, it is due to this fact that nev r material has not shown up like it has in other years, tho Fries, as a senior, came out for the first time this year and made the team, indeed, he is as good as any man on the team. The new gym was not completed untill late, giving us a tardy start on the schedule and causing the season to extend far into spring. However the time was made up when we did get on the floor and some of the stiffest practice games ever played here, were seen then. The gymnasium is the best in any Northern Indiana High School, being about seventy-five feet long by forty feet v ride, w ith a ceiling fifteen feet high. The lighting system is excellent, there being fifteen cluster w ith four lights in each and each cluster is protected by a heavy wire screen. The school board installed seats w ith a capacity of tw o hundred and fifty people. Two good show ers are connected with the gym. The Athletic Association provided good suits for the team. They consisted of maroon shirts with a white English M, vsrhite pants, maroon and w hite stockings and kangaroo leather shoes. The team not only presented a nice appearance on the floor but were able to play better by being suitably dressed. As a favor to the team Mr. R. I. Williams, an old Wabash man, coached the team and its remarked success was due to his patient w ork of hammering the best out of each man. It is not known for a surety, but the fellows are working for Mr. Williams as a Prof next year. At the beginning of the season the state was divided up into twelve districts, the champion team of each district to represent it in a champion- ship meet to be held at Bloomington on Mar. 10-1 I. We beat everything that our old rivals, South Bend, did, except Elkhart, who put it over us by a raw deal. Then w e played South Bend at Notre Dame and were beaten 23-15; South Bend having the right, thereby, to represent this district. It is hard to speak of the work of any individual as better than that of his team-mates. Gartner ' s work as floor man and basket shot was equalled by Tramers ability to dodge his opponents and shoot the basket, and we think we are safe in claiming that few high school teams can show a better pair of forwards than these. Huston ' s work at guard was very good as w as also that of Fries, but Huston ' s experience made him a shade the better man. Gulp ' s playing was remarkable, as many a forward has learnt to his sorrow. Giblett, our center, was a good player and score-raiser. Kiskadden and Edwards of the Sophomore class played in a couple of games and will probably make the team next year. The attendance at all the games was good, the proceeds paying for the suits and leaving a nice balance in the treasury. LINE-UP L. F., Tramer. R. F., Gartner. C, Giblett. . G., Huston and Fries. R.

Even under the disadvantages of the old building they w orked faithfully, so, v rhen they came to the nev r floor, they wrere ready for business, so to speak. In the beginning they decided on boys rules, as their own game was too slov r to suit them, but when they started to arrange a schedule, other teams were found to be using girls rules ; of course this necessitated the changing of their style of play. Being used to the boys game and lacking a competent coach, they didn t progress as rapidly as could have been desired, and, on going to Warsaw , they sustained a defeat. This trip persuaded the girls to play no more out-of-tow n games, but to devote themselves to inter-class games. This decision is much favored by the favored by the faculty and the school, as we don ' t wish our girls to become as bold as the Warsaw bunch, ( No, Never ! ). In the team, there vs as excellent material and it could have been brought out by good coaching. Marguerite White, the captain, was the best; being able to throw and shoot baskets nearly as well as a boy and if girls played the boys game, she w ould be called a star floor forward. Norma Bortner comes next with accurate basket shooting and steady play- ing. Pauline Hawk, Ruth Sutherland, Alice Gulp, Ruth Bortner, and Bertille Hirdelang are in about the same class, being very good. Among the scrubs, Virginia McKinley and Bernice Reeder are the most promising. mt gdis of m. a. Alleveva ! Alleveva ! AUeveva vum ! Boom! Get a rat-trap ! Bigger than a cat-trap ! Boom ! Boom !

Since that time the school has been unable to turn out a good team because of lack of material. This year, however, all the old men are back except C. Neusbaum; they are Gartner, Huston, Giblett, Edwards, Garner, Moran, Kiskadden and Gulp. A trio of likely looking freshmen are Treadway, Giel and Engle- wright; the first two are fielders, the last is a backstop and will take Gulps place behind the bat. He is a good catcher and hitter but lacks experience. Treadway and Giel are handy w ith the stick also. In the first ga me of the season at LaPorte, L. P. H. S. won with a score 8 — 1, but it was a better game than the score would show, most of our opponents runs benig gathered in two bad innings, with some costly errors and a few bunched hits. The errors were due to a lack of good practice as the home grounds are not in good condition yet. The number of hits off each pitcher was five but Giblett gave more passes than his opponent. Gulp, who led the team in batting last year with an average of .411, failed to secure a hit ; he also hobbled twice out of five chances. The A. A. furnished the team with suits this year ; they are blue-gray, trimmed in maroon. LINE-UP Pitcher, Giblett. Catcher, Englewright. 1 St Base, Huston. 2nd Base, Gartner, Capt.

In October, 1882, the Alumni of the Mishaw aka High School, then numbering thirteen, met at the old High School Building for the purpose of organizing an Alumni Association. The following officers were elected : Miss Ella Skerrit (Mrs. W. E. Butterworth. City) President. Mr. Ed. Byrkit, City, Vice President. Miss Anna Boyd, (Mrs. Will Crawford, La Porte ) Secretary. Miss Ella Boyd, ( Mrs. Robt. McKnight, City ) Treasurer. The organization prospered no longer than December of that same year, from which time until July. 1884, there are no records of meetings. At this time the Association again became active, and continued so for many years. Meetings being held irregularly. Some- times tw o in one month, and at one time tw o years e ' apsing betw een meetings. But there are records and memories of many stormy meetings, many receptions held in Whitson Hall for incoming classes, and many delightful festivals and parties, which took place during these years. In May, 1895, the Association w elcomed the incoming class with a large reception, and this was the last meeting of any sort which was held for fifteen years. On the 19th of May. 1910, Supt. J. F. Nuner called the Alumni together, and the Association v fas re-organized with much enthv;siasm. The following officers were elected : Mr. Ralph H. Jernegan, City, President. Mr. F. A. Partridge, City, Vice President. Mrs. W. E, Butterworth, City, Treasurer. Miss May Woodward, City. Secretary. On the evening of June 23rd, the Alumni Association held a well attended reception in the Bingham School Halls, at which over 100 Alumni attended besides Teachers and Board Members. Many members from out of the city were present, including the oldest High School graduate, Miss Alice Van den Bosch, (Mrs. C. W. Studebaker) South Bend, and several classes w ere enabled to hold complete reunions. The graduating class of 1910 vk as welcomed into the Association, making a total of 282 members. Until 1909 the largest class which had ever been graduated from the Mishawaka High School was the class of 1897, w ith 9 boys and 7 girls. This number, sixteen, was equalled by the class of 1909. Last year ' s class had twenty-two graduates, which is the banner class as to number. All graduates being Alumni of M. H. S., are requested and expected to become active members of the Alumni Association and all teachers in the schools and members of the School Board who are not graduates are invited to become Associate Members. The dues of all members are fifty (50) cents. As a graduate from the High School, it is your duty to become an active member of this Association and in this small w ay help pay the debt of gratitude you owe the public schools of Mishawaka. The beautiful new High School building recently completed in front of the old build- ing was a necessity in this City which has been growing by leaps and bounds during the last few years. We rejoice with all pupils present and future, that you are to have the advantages of a grand new building, modern in all w ays. How happy would the boys in former years have been if they could have had a gym such as you can and should enjoy. We can remember when it was a danger to play or walk on the front lawn and to thus curb the animal spirit of young people is a wrong. The physical side of man should be developed as well as the moral and mental, and only is one well rounded when so developed. A person to be fit for life ' s work can ill afford to neglect his soul, his mind or his body. We have been just as proud of the w onderful basket-ball team representing M. H. S. this past year as are the High School pupils. The writer is of the firm opinion that the team is better than any they played against, South Bend not excepted. The School Board, teachers and pupils, can depend upon the Alumni Association to be with you at any and all times when a benefit to the school is the aim. If by our efforts w e can encourage pupils to continue the course, if we can in any way show them the false reasoning that could possibly prompt them to take that ill-advised step of dis- continuing school and throw away one of the grandest opportunities of life, our greatest object will have been accomplished. The Alumni Ass ' Jciation is for the school and we are interested in every pupil. We ask in return that each pupil will continue his course to completion and then unite with us that we as an organization may continue a power for good. A lauiatr ' s Case I HE Burleigh ' s and the Grayson ' s had been neigbors, in the village of Plainfield. for three generations. John 13 irleigh lived in the family home v rith his wife and one child, Cecil. The death of David Grayson ' s wife, a few years after their marriage, left him with one child, a boy. Donald Grayson and Cecil became fast friends when they first attended the village school. He always waited at the Burleigh gate, took Cecil ' s books and walked to school with her, never missing a day in all their twelve years of schooling. After graduating Donald went to college. Cecil, now at home, corresponded with him regularly and durmg those days he learned to look to Cecil for the advice and help which Mrs. Grayson would have given had she lived. After a very successful college course, Donald returned to Plainfield, which was just beginning to feel a boom ' and was growing as only vk estern cities can grov . Don and Cecil had decided, in their college correspondence, that as soon as his law business was firmly established they would be married quiety by the old parson, who had married many Burleighs and Graysons, and build a home of their own. Plans for the home had been drawn, the house built and finished many times, in their letters. At last, only a year and a half after Don hung out his shingle over the hardware store, he received two big cases from prominent concerns, cases for which he had hoped but never imagined he could get. His business was an assured success. With both letters in his hand he ran down the steps and hurried to the Burleigh home. Cecil was delighted. The letters read, she said excitedly, Come, let s tell father and mother and have it all over today. ' Upon entering the sitting-room Donald stated his case as briefly and as eloquently as he had ever stated a case in Court. To his surprise Mr. Burleigh looked at his wife and she stared back. ' Hasn t your father told you, then ? ' Mr. Burleigh asked after a long pause. What? Don asked, and what s my father got to do with it? Oh ! Don I wrouldnt have let it go for a minute if 1 hadn t thought you knew. You and Cecil marry? You cant, boy; you ' re brother and sister. ' Brother and sister, Don gasped. Cecil, at first too surprised to speak, now broke out with, Father, vkfhy haven ' t you told me ? I can t stand it now after— . Be quiet, girl, I ' ll tell you how it happened. Just about a year after v e were married the Grayson s, your mother and 1 went over to Linden one Saturday. At the Orphans Home there they had just had eighteen babies come from a Home in New York City. All had been taken, by town people, but two. These two were twins and they didn ' t want to separate them. Your mother and Mrs Grayson fell in love with them at once and finally, after a great deal of paper signing, we took the girl and Grayson s the boy. 1 ve meant to tell you of it but 1 hated to and besides 1 thought Grayson d tell Don. After a painful silence Donald asked quietly, What were our names? He had his lawyer-like manner again. We didn ' t change your first names at all. The last name was Mclntyre, ' Mrs. Burleigh answered. Don left the house without another word being said. The next morn- ing he looked up the records of the Linden Orphans ' Home. The Home had been destroyed by fire about two years after the twins had been taken and all the earlier records lost. After much discouraging search Don found an old nurse in a nearby town who had served at the Home before the fire. She remembered the name of the Home in New York City that the babies had been sent from but nothing of the babies them- selves or their records. Donald ' s business called him back to his office and after a month ' s hard work he won the first of the two cases. The second, however, would take much moie preparation. Donald saw Cecil only occasionally now for something indescribable seemed to have come between them. The w ork now called him to Chi- cago, now to Indianapolis, and at las t to New York. The afternoon of his arrival, having nothing to do until morning, he looked up the address of the Home the nurse had named. It was a high standing Rescue Home supported by the best people. Curiosity as to his identity led him to look up his record. Greatly to his surprise he found that he was the son of the minister of a little mission chapel and that because of his molhers death he had been left at the Home. On the ledgers margin were the words, father killed in subway accident Mar. 26, 189—. ' Best of all, and least expected, the next page stated that he was an only son and had no living relativt s. Now, excitedly, he looked up the shipment ' made to Linden Home. Linden Home had written for the shipment which must contain eighteen babies including a pair of twins. The twins had evidently been sent for some one who later decided not to take them, leaving them at the Home. In the list were the names, Cecil and Donald Mclntyre; Cecil was noted as No. 372, p. 27, and under the name was, No tw ins in Home, sent as twins because nearly of same age and look much alike. No. 372, p. 27, gave the information, Cecil McVane, left by poor but respectable Scotch lady of whom all traces have been lost. Donald rushed his business thru ' and took a fast train for Plainfield. He arrived at eight in the evening, left his baggage at the station and started on a run for Burleigh s. His story told and verified to Mr. Bur- leigh ' s satisfaction, by the ledger itself, Donald asked Mr. Burleigh for Cecil again, quite as if it were necessasy. If you are ever stopping in Plainfield it will be well worth your time to walk dow n Grayson Avenue where, halfway between the Burleigh and Grayson residences you will see a beautiful new home. Here, perhaps, you w ill surprise the Hon. Donald Grayson playing, very much like an overgrown boy, with his young counterpart Donald Grayson 11. EDWIN McCOLLUM ' 12. Unto the least of Uxtst ■RSOWARD GRANDON looked at his watch for the tenth time in fifteen minutes. It was a quarter after three. Would his mother never be ready to go ? He had waited for at least half an hour, and was growing very impatient. He w as a youth of eighteen, tall and dark, with an unmistak ' able look of refinement and culture. He would have been handsome had it not been for a certain, almost indefinable expression of mingled discontent and hauteur. He paced nervously up and down the hall for a few times, then giving up in despair tossed down his hat and gloves, and drawing a few sketches from a portfolto, made a futile attempt to calm himself. Have I kept you waiting Howard? said his mother as she entered a few moments later. I am sorry dear, but if 1 had know n before luncheon that you wished me to go with you to the Art Institute, 1 could have been ready sooner. 1 forgot to tell you, he answered, and I suppose it ' s my fault if we are late; but perhaps if w e hurry, 1 may be able to see the professor. 1 want him to see my sketches, 1 know he will say they are fine. Come, the carriage is waiting. It was a day of especial interest at the Institute, for Herr Frederick Van Hagen, the celebrated German artist, was to give a lecture on German Art, and an exhibition of his famous paintings. As they were about to enter, Mrs. Grandon heard a stifled sob and turned to see a slight girlish figure, very shabbily dressed, leaning against one of the pillars, her face the picture of disappointment. Her kind heart was touched, and she immediately stopped to inquire the reason for the child ' s grief. Mother, please hurry, we are late novsr. Let the child alone, do you want me to miss seeing Herr Van Hagen? Howard spoke angrily for he was vexed that his mother should delay him an instant more; besides, the child wasn ' t worth noticing, anyway. You go in, Howard, said Mrs. Grandon, I ' ll come in a moment. Then turning to the child, she said. Tell me what is the trouble, perhaps 1 can help you. ' Instinctively the child realized that she had found a friend in this richly dressed w oman, and she told her story without hesitation. She was an orphan, her mother having died when she was six years old, her father but a few months ago. He was an artist, but through misfortune and ill health had been reduced to poverty. He had taught her to sketch and had taken her to the Institute many times to see the pictures. Since his death she had lived with a neighbor, working for her board and lodging. 1 have wanted to come and see the pictures for a long time. she said, but father was sick so long, and after he died, they wouldn ' t let me come alone. 1 ran away today, and now— now they won ' t let me in. 1 w ant to see the pictures so bad, but 1 suppose I ' ll have to go home without seeing them. She began to sob as if her heart would break. You shall see the pic- tures, said Mrs. Grandon taking her hand. The attendant at the door looked surprised as they entered, but offered no word of comment. Inside the Institute the child seemed transformed. She led the way to a picture of Christ blessing the children, and stood, her hands tightly clasped, her face radiant. I love this one best of all. she told Mrs. Grandon, because the Christ looks so loving and the children so happy. I have thought of it most all the time, since papa died, but 1 couldn ' t come again to see it, so one day I made one of my own. But it isn ' t right, I can see the mistakes now. As she spoke she drew from her pocket a sheet of soiled paper. It vas but a rude sketch made w ith a pencil, but the resemblance to the picture w as striking, especially the expression in the face of the master, and Mrs. Grandon realized that the child was possessed of more than ordinary ability. Come with me, she said. We will show your picture to Herr Van Hagen. Your sketches are good in technique, my boy, the artist was saying to How ard as they drew near, but to be frank w ith you, they lack expression and feeling. He handed them back ; and seeing the look of disappointment on Howard ' s face, added, Try them again, and put yourself in the spirit of the picture. Let it portray your feelings. He turned to Mrs. Grandon and glanced with surprise at her companion. Will you please look at this sketch, she said, 1 think perhaps it is w orth examining. She handed it to him, and he gazed a few moments in silence, then said, The person w ho drew this w ill some day become famous. Although it is poor in detail, still it shows a wonderful gift of expression. May ask I w ho drew it? Here is the little artist, replied Mrs. Grandon, and she told the child ' s story. Howard stood transfixed w ith amazement and anger. His fine sketches criticised, and this one praised It w as beyond endurance. Mother, this is an insult! he burst out. I ' ll w ait for you in the car- riage, and strode rapidly away. Herr Van Hagen glanced after him, then calmly said, This child should receive instruction. I shall see her again. That evening Mrs. Grandon after a long talk with her husband said: I can think of no greater pleasure than to have the child right here in my home, I have been strangely interested in her, and since we have no daughter I thought perhaps we could take her, but since you and How ard object, I w ill content myself by educating her. Herr Van Hagen has promised to arrange matters for me. ' I do not object to your charities, he replied, as long as they do not interfere with me; but I will not consent to a strange child being made one of my family. Twelve years had passed and Howard Grandon sat in his studio wrapped in deep meditation. Was he a failure? Had all his study and hard persistent toil accomp- lished nothing? He had studied under the best teachers in Germany, France and Italy, and yet his pictures were not well received, he w as not recognized. Why it was he could not tell. Critics argued that his productions were origi- nal, perfect in coloring and detail. What did they lack? Every one wras praising the works of a young and practically unknown artist. At the pres- ent time one of her pictures, in fact, her masterpiece, was on exhibition at the Institute, and was creating a sensation in Art circles. He would go and see it on the morrow, perhaps he could learn the secret of her success. A visit to the Institute aWays brought to his mind the time he had come to see Herr Van Hagen. He remembered that even then his sketches lacked something, and that something he had never been able to produce. He could dimly recall that his mother had found a child crying on the steps, and had taken her to the professor, who became interested in a dirty sketch she had made with a pencil. He grew angry even now when he thought of it. Somehow it had been the same all through his life. He had asked help from no one; he had given help to no one; he had worked for himself and thought of no one else; and yet he was a failure. He asked to see the picture and when it was placed before him he glanced at it first scornfully, then stood pale and trembling. It w as a picture of a richly dressed woman, her arms thrown protectingly around a poor street w aif in an effort to comfort her. Underneath was written : Unto the Least of These. It was simple in detail, but the tenderness, pity and love in the woman s face, and the perfect trust in the child ' s were wonderfully portrayed. The face of the woman was the face of his mother ! Then he knew who had painted the picture and why it was great. He knew too, why he was a failure. LESLIE C. MOREHOUSE, ' 1 1. Written for Miskodeed Prize Contest. Phil ' s Hooboo HIL glanced at the clock on the opposite side of the room ; from there his eye wandered to the calendar below it. Whew! tomorrow is the thirteenth of March. He had almost for- gotten it. Leaning back in his chair he reviewed the events of the past Yes the only good thing that had ever happened on the thir- larch was the attack of measles that had been kind enough to keep him away from spring exams. Kind to the teachers, too? But the bad things, he hated to think about the bad things which out- weighed that mite of good. Let ' s see, there was that broken ankle the night of the reception; then his thesis had been lost, which meant it had to be written over, and last spring, worst of all, he had pneumonia which kept him away from preliminary track practice. Now what would tomorrow bring — Just here the door opened and one of the boys stepped in. Say, Phil, will you drive over to Centre with Pete and me tomorrow after Trig? Sorry, Kit, but I never make plans nor promises for the thirteenth of March, replied Phil. Oh, shucks! that hoodoo of yours still bothering you? 1 hope it ' s out of business for this year. Well, wait and see. Good night, this last as the door closed between the two young men. After reading a few minutes longer Phil closed his book with a yawn and began to prepare for bed. The morning of the thirteenth was a beautiful day, clear and bright. Nevertheless, although the clock had sounded half past eight ten minutes ago, Phil still slept until awakened by a handful of gravel hitting the window shutters. In record-breaking time he was out of bed and dressed, except his collar, tie and cuff. But where are those collar buttons. There goes one- this collar is too dirty I can ' t find a clean one. All right! at last! there that cuff link goes. Now, for it this last as he started down the stairs with his jersey on. Chapel was over and the boys were out on the campus as he reached the open air. Hi, there, Phil Walker, yelled some one from a group a few rods aw ay. As he went over to them one of the boys said: Say, you don ' t have a class at one o ' clock, do you? No, why? Well, I wanted you to go to the bank at Centre for me. The boys were going over but they have to practice this afternoon. ' • Sure, I ' ll go for you; that is, if you don ' t care whether you get your money or not. Moneys a great temptation, don ' t you know, answered Phil, without thinking of the hoodoo. After this he left the boys and went to class. As he entered the hall he was accosted by one of the teachers. Phillip, I didn ' t hear you answ er to the roll call at chapel this morning. No, sir. 1 overslept. Well, I think chapel would do you as much good as sleep. Good morning. This reprimand seemed a fit beginning for the hoodoo, of course. He failed in his whole lesson next period, altho he made a passing grade in Chemistry. He hadn ' t a word of his Latin translation, ( for the hoodoo had taken his book. ) At last his work was over and he started for the car to Centre in plenty of time, whistling as he went. He suddenly broke off whistling for the wind was carrying his hat in the opposite direction of the track. By the time he had recovered it he saw the car disappear around a distant curve. That meant a wait of fifty minutes. This time, by standing in the middle of the track with both hands on his hat he managed to get that car. After several delays on the line he arrived at the bank to find the sign Closed hanging in the door, As he turned away he muttered: Just my luck. 1 wish I had stayed in bed all day. Buying a magazine he sat down to read until the next car, So busily was he reading that only by hastily boarding the end of the moving car did he get started for the College. As he sat down he heard a titter and although he paid no attention to it then he understood it later when he attempted to get up. He had leaned back against some chewing gum and had stuck to the seat. He finally got loose and left the car amid a shower of laughs and jokes. While he was wondering if his face was as red as it felt, one of the boys, who was cutting across a field to the campus, called out: What ' s up. Walker? Your face it a good imitation of a pickled beet, leaving no doubt in his mind. Oh! just my usual unusual luck, he replied. It ' s a pity it couldn ' t be worse. he replied. Say, Jack, I couldn ' t get your money for the bank was closed. I expected as much. This is a holiday for the bank clerks. 1 just thought I could help your luck along, laughingly explained his friend. Hope it succeeded. You did, but don ' t try it again. replied Phil who was now in a rare bad humor. I think you will have to take my suit to the cleaners, for with chasing my hat through mud puddles and sticking to chewing gum, it needs it. During this time the boys had walked back to the college grounds and Phil vi ent at once to the dormitory. His door was locked. 1 can t find my key in a single one of fourteen pockets — oh I remem- ber, I didn ' t bring it with me. The key was on a table four feet away from Phil but there was a door closed with a spring between them. Exasperated almost to the sv earing point, he went down after the steward ' s keys, and as he reached the stairs on his way back the gong rang for supper, but he went on to his room. He arrived ten minutes late at the mess room ' and consequently all the supper he received was a roll and some coffee. After the meal, a crowd of them went over to the club house where several of the boys were lounging on the veranda. One of the boys suggested that they take a couple of boats and go out on the river that bounded two sides of the campus. The boys acquiescing, they promptly pushed off and started down stream. After going about a mile they decided to land at a small island near- by. Every one had landed but Phil, who was in the stern. As he attempted to land, the boat rocked and (the hoodoo pushing) he fell over into the water. The canoe had been pushed up well on the beach, so he was only slightly wet, but it was enough. How very graceful, laughed Kit as Phil crawled out of the water. You had better consult the weather man before taking outdoor swim- ming lessons, advised George. Poor little wet duck, sympathised Kit. Oh, cut it, this is enough today for me. He was getting angry now. Then, as the humor of the situation broke upon him, he laughed with the rest. Well, boys, I ' m going back to earnestly hope and pray that the thir- teenth of March may never come again. And he went. MARY MILLER, ' 13. Written for Miskodeed Prize Contest.

They Wo™ have been dajs of good will and friendship, which a com- ff - mon purpose tends to, in which we have held our meet- ings and pondered over questions which seemed weighty in our inexperience. Often the w ay ahead seemed dark and almost hopeless, advance was discouraged, and retreat would have been easy. But we did not look back, with the result that the light has dawned at last, disclosing joy and rest to our tired spirits.

Imptfnn I NE of the few and much appreciated social events of our school year was a Reception piven October fourteenth at the Y. M. C. A. in South Bend, in response to the cordial in- vitation extended to the High School students and teachers, by the Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., two chartered cars, bound for South Bend, were filled with enthusiastic members of dear old M. H. S., and their friends. South Bend and the vicinity were no doubt aware of our approach, but we announced our arrival at the Y. M. C. A. building by cheering our hosts and giving various yells. The building was thrown open to us and we felt that we needed little entertainment. However, committees had been busy and a very good literary and musical program had been prepared. While this -was being given most of the young men were bowling. Basket Ball was the next feature. A regular Mishawaka game was played between the Seniors and Juniors on one side and the Sophomore and Freshmen on the other. Enthusiasm and class spirit was very evident, to say the least. The outcome of the game in favor of the Whites is only one proof of the excellence of our regular Basket Ball team, with all due honor to the Sophomore forward and yell master. We fully appreciated a part of our entertainment which was a sur- prise. This consisted of readings by Mr. Ketchel, Dramatic Instructor at the South Bend High School. Before starting home we tried in a number of ways to make it understood by all that we certainly had had a thoroughly good time. Annex Social There has been enthusiasm a real and praisworthy enthusiasm — for athletics this year in the Mishawaka High School. This has, no doubt, been created by the Athletic and Oratorical Association largely. In order that more members might be secured for the Association a contest was started between the boys and girls, it was agreed that the side securing the smaller per cent of new members should entertain the winning side. The contest resulted in every student and teacher joining the organization. And so, in the course of time, it came about that there : •■ V ' T was a Social at which the members of the School entertained themselves as guests. The Social was held at the A. C. A. parlors on the evening of December 7, 1911. A few of the able members of the august body, known as the Mishawaka High School showed their interest by presenting the parlor play, Mile. Mystic . Much time and talent was given for our entertainment and the excellent production was appreciated by all. The play was proceeded by a beautiful vocal solo given by Miss Alice Culp accompanied by Mr. Humiston playing the violin. The next feature of the evening was a Girls Basket Ball Game played between picked teams with Marie Boles and Pauline Hawk as captains. The Girls played very well at this, their first game before the public, reaching the score of 6-2. A basket-ball game between the Seniors and other classmen followed resulting in a victory for the Seniors. After a raid upon the frappe and virafers a mass meeting was held. We congratulated ourselves on a good time and promised each other that there w ould be more of them in the New High School. mWt. My stit The chief feature of the program of the evening, December seventh, was one act comedy, Mile. Mystic ' . The leading character, Mile. Mystic v ras successfully taken by Miss Marie Boles who was very charming it her picturesque gypsy costume. Mr. Earl Prahl played the part of the hand- some young Rev. Kingman, in love with Edith Ray who was masquerading as Mile. Mystic. Madaline Woodw ard, Marguerite White and Iva Ostrander in their rolls as three sweet village maidens, in love w ith Otto Gartner, Claude Moran and Onner Davis as three young village swains, played their parts well. Miss Madge Boles did veiy well in the portrayal of the village dressmaker. Miss Curtis. The part of Miss Duval, at whose home the bazaar which is the scene of the play is held, was ably filled by Miss Margaret Burnett. ! ■. ' M fS . ,. ,- , ' ■ -nrnfur X, ' Z [t ©iirra pinafore HE first entertainment given in the auditorium of the new High School building was the opera Pinafore, given by the Senior Class of 1911. The opera is in two acts. The first act is at noon, the second at night. The action takes place on the quarter-deck of Her Majesty s Ship Pinafore, which is at anchor off Portsmouth harbor. The entire cast was taken by the Seniors. Madeline Woodward took the part of Josephine, who is in love with a sailor. Edward Giblett was Ralph Rackstraw, able seaman, in love with Josephine. Leslie Morehouse took the part of the haughty and conceited admiral, Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B. Claude Moran was the dignified and popular commander, Captain Corcoran, captain of the Pinafore. Aline McQuillen took the part of an aristocratic English lady and Sir Josephs favorite cousin. Alice Culp vi ' as sweet little Buttercup. ' The discontented and soured Dick Deadeye, whose name and face was agin him, was Clarence Culp. Onner Davis w as the common-sensed Boatswain and his mate was Earl Huston. The pet of the crew, the little Midshipmite, was Donald McCollum. Because of the illness of Herman Fiies, there was only one Sergeant of Marines, Robert Burnett. All of these performed very ably. A few of the sailors were from the high school, but owing to the fact that there wrere not enough large boys to take the part of sailors, Messrs. Wilbur Shively, Edward Bridge, G. A. Maurer, H. Humiston, J. Heidloff and F. Otterstein kindly assisted and their voices added very much to the chorus. The sisters, cousins and aunts ' were high school girls. Earl V. Prahl was the accompanist and leader of the orchestra, and Paul Weimer was the cornetist. Otto Gartner and Robert Burnett took charge of the finances. The opera was under the able direction of Miss Jeannie E. Terry. MISHAWAKA PUBLIC LIBRARY I ISMAWAtO, INDIANA the ©rpheus fflancert The seats of the H .S.

Nearly sixty people were present in the dining room of the Hotel Mishawaka when the signal was given to begin the attack upon the dainty fare offered by the attendants. The tables were formed in the shape of a Y. Yellow roses profusely scattered about, formed the decorations. The color scheme was also car- ried out on the place cards, on which were hand painted roses. A delightful repast of eight courses having been enjoyed, the toast- master introduced the speakers of the evening. Mr. Nuner responded to the toast, The Faculty, Miss Welch to Pupils, Mr. Otto Gartner to Reminiscences, ' , Miss Alice Culp to Farewell, Miss Isadore Barnhart to Class of Twelve, Mr. Clarence Culp to Good-night.

T., in Miss Turner ' s I st year English class wrote : It was a bright, clear, sunshiny day, a haze hung over the banks, so that the bridge nearby could hardly be seen. The sun setting cast a pink glow over everything. The water was red and the trees were a deep purple. Mr. Huminston in Solid Geometry class, to M. A. C. : Is Otto fast asleep? Miss Turner, in Modern History Class : Jeannette, how long did the Thirty Year ' s War last? Jeanette — Why — I don ' t know. Miss T— What ? Well, Clyde? Clyde — I didn ' t study that.

This student suffers from the stigma of obesity ; it appears that even professors do not love a fat man. After a particularly unsuccessful recitation in English III, the professor said: ' • Alas, Mr. Blank, you are better fed than taught. ' That ' s right, professor, sighed the youth, subsiding heavily; you teach me I feed myself. Pupil (reciting on Milton) He wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.

The pupils of a distinguished professor of zoology, says a review, a man well known for his eccentricities, noted one day two tidy parcels lying on their instructor ' s desk as they passed out at the noon hour. On their return to the laboratory for the afternoon lecture they saw but one. This the professor took carefully up in his hands as he opened his lecture. In the study of vertebrata we have taken the frog as a type. Let us now examine the gastrocnemius muscle of this dissect specimen. So saying, the professor untied the string of his neat parcel and dis- closed to view a ham sandw ich and a boiled egg. But I have eaten my lunch! said the learned man, bewilderedly. - Stolen.
