But the look on his face When he stares into space, Makes us think that he ' ll soon hike and marry! There is our Historian Legg Who can swallow down sweets by the keg, But he once made nut-taffy (Poor man, he was daffy) For the nut that he used was nut-meg! There ' s Semler, who ' s usually Sem, Now how shall we say thisP — Ahem! Your interest in Art, When you once get a start, Is as great as in Algebra, Sem. We have a known Scientist — Davis, (From such a sad fate Heaven save us!) For his chemical load Might some day explode, And maybe the poor man would leave us! There is Philosopher Miller His favorite color is yiller, He can lecture on Thrift— Now watch for the drift: That pennies and dimes make the dillar! And last, the Boss-Printer named Pinney — Of troubles he never has any, Oh the type he can set We are willing to bet, But he can ' t hatch a thing with it, kin heP Among these the ladies remain, But in order to get in the same — Since ne ' er word nor line Will in the least rhyme, Each one must, we think, change her name! We hope no offense will be taken, — Tis all just for fun in the makin ' , And give us the laugh Yes, one and a half — If — perchance we may be mistaken! — Ruth Lechlitner. The Prophecy I had traveled o ' er the country And had met friends far and near, Each one gave me information, Of a classmate fond and dear. In the great city of New York, Is Charles of political fame; And in the papers now we read Edgar is governor of Maine. So thus when the day is over, I sit by my fireside ' s glow, The flames are to me as whispers And I dream of my friends long ago. Wilma is a famous dancer, Very full of lithesome grace; As she appears upon the stage, It seems that she moves thru space. Arthur is now in Alaska, Living in the wilds I confess; But he has chosen a partner, And Ruth is his little Huntress. Sailing o ' er the deep blue ocean The great liner called The Troy, Has standing on her spotless deck The brave sea-faring captain, Roy. In a big church in the city, There is Owen, the preacher, While the school house round the corner, Has Miss Helen for the teacher. Walter is an agriculturist, Daily traveling in his car; And upon the movie screen appears, Florence, the popular little star. Bob is a representative, Noted for his addresses; While Joe Jontz is a traveling man, And many jokes he possesses. Raymond, the great philosopher, Is wrapped in his thoughts intent; Bernadette H. lives a life of ease, And she seems to be content. Mary W. is now a steno. But it ' s only for fun, For her sunny smiles and ways, Have captured her boss ' s son. On a diamond, in the center, Stand s the great pitcher, Hurland, While overhead gaily goes, Margaret, in her airship whirlin ' . The opera is made illustrious By Maurine, the singer great; Roger follows the chemist ' s trade And sells his drugs at short weight. The New York. Herald has changed hands, And Wilbur is editor; Upon the second page is placed, The ad of Albert ' s wholesale store. Fair Mary Stearns is in Paris Leading an artistic life; But Ermal is just as happy, For she ' s a minister ' s wife. Calvin owns a peppermint farm, And certainly makes things hum; Ted Schnabel plays in band concerts, Blowin ' a big bass drum. Ellen is a charity worker, Whose good deeds are widely known; And the ever cheerful Clara, Into a faithful nurse has grown. Arthur Snyder ' s proprietor Of a great, big diamond mine. Lo! on the coast of Africa He profitably spends his time. Myrna writes short story fiction. Mixed with laughter and with jest; And the governess, Bernadette, Is living in the far west. Rockford Robbins, that quiet lad Is a merchant in Japan Who by hard work and steady grit Has become a wealthy man. Lillian is a jolly teacher, Working in athletics; Esther F. ' s precious time is spent, In writing on Dietetics. I ' m glad to think that Fate has brot So much good success to all And from the teaching that they had They ' ve conquered every squall. — Martha NeisWonger. The Senior Class President— ARTHUR HUNT. Vice President— -WILMA ZIMMERMAN. Secretary— MARY STEARNS. Treasurer ROGER WILLIAMS. Class Colors — Burnt Orange and Blue. Class Flower — Aron Ward Rose. Motto: — Laborare, petere, reperire, sednon tacere. To strive, to strike, to find, but not to fail. FOUR short and happy years have passed. The history of our class is a book with four great chapters. The first chapter opens upon our Freshmen year in which we entered as green as most Freshmen. But soon we showed to the upper classmen our superior- ity when we gave out party which was a grand success. Also we gave the Sophomores a good fight in the annual Soccer Tournament. The second chapter deals with our Sophomore year in which we followed our Puritan forefathers in that we cultivated our minds and abstained from frivolity. The third chapter opens upon our glorious Junior year in which we gave a successful class party and a movie show. We also published a first class Miskodeed with many original ideas. We were well represented on the first Basket Ball Team. The climax of the year was our Junior Prom and Banquet which was given at the Mishawaka Hotel. We entertained our guests royal- ly, so royally indeed, that we have been paying for it ever since. The last chapter of our book deals with our Senior year. As Calamity is a mighty leveller, we have been busily engaged in money making schemes that have proven very successful. Through the help and advice of our class Sponsor, we hope to leave M. H. S. with a clear record. Athletics have played a prominent part in our High School life this year, for the girls won the cup in the Interclass Basket Ball games and the boys have been conspicuous in all forms of athletics. We are trying also to make the big M circus a success and we are looking forward to our Senior play and last but not least to our Commencement. We wish to thank the faculty for their sympathetic interest and hope to become worthy members of the Alumni. ARTHUR HUNT— Art President of Class in 17 B. B. Team ' 16. Capt. B. B. Team ' 17.

Class Colors Class Flower Black and Gold. -Sunburst Rose. THREE short years ago our class entered old M. H. S. as ignorant Freshies and now as sensible even experienced Juniors we can look back and realize that we have accomplished much. In all athletics we have been ably represented and this year the class championship cup was carried off by us. A majority of the first team Basket Ball men were picked from our class. In dramatics our ability as a class has never been tested but with all the individual talent we are sure that the Senior Play will be a success. We have a list of successful parties to our credit and expect to add to that list the Junior Prom. This Miskodeed is a sample of how much our class has been worth. Many have left our class, two of our boys are now serving Uncle Sam, but in general we are still the same old bunch of good comrades and are hoping that we will all win the goal one year from now for which we are striving. And we still think the Class of 1918 is as yet the best we have known. The Juniors have no class motto but I can think of no better one for them than this: Good fellowship toward all.

A TOUCH of Senior dignity, a dash of Junior thrift, a sprinkle of Freshman spice, a great quantity of boosting activity — all these combine in one word, Sophomore. We feel justified in saying that the Class of 19 has fully lived up to the standard of the ideal Sophomore year. As Freshmen we were well represented in foot ball and on the basket ball squads, and, fulfilling the last year ' s prophecy, some of these men have secured places on the first team. There is also good material in the line of girl ' s athletics. The class this year has contributed its share of social events, including a pleasing class party January 18. In dramatics the Class of 19 has made good, in the full sense of the phrase. Encouraged by our successful Freshman play, we have made a still bigger success this year in presenting on March 6, The Runaway Couple. We have also been well represented in the play, Why Smith Left Home. The class wishes especially to thank Miss Dobbins, whom we have been proud to have as class sponsor, and to whom our Sophomore successes have been largely due.

We entered school early in Sep- tember, feeling very important, indeed, but the upper classmen have caused us to lose a large per cent of our egotism though we still retain a certain amount. Our class was organized on the fifteenth of September, and our meetings are held the first Wednesday of each school month. Our dues are fifteen cents for the first month and ten cents for each succeeding month, and anyone not paying their dues up to date are denied the privelege of attending any social or business affair of this organization. We, both boys and girls, have taken an active though not a very prominent part in athletic games, such as basketball, tennis and foot ball. The Freshmen basket ball girls won a game from the Elkhart girls, at Misha- waka March the sixteenth, with a score of 17 to 14. We also have taken part in all social affairs of the High School, the crowning success of our social ventures being the Freshman Party which was a Halloween Mas- querade given the thirtieth of October. We are now drawing near to the close of our Fresh- man year, but we have enjoyed with the upper classmen all the fun that was made of us when we were Freshies, ' and we are looking forward to the time when we are no longer The Freshman Class but The Sophomore Class of the Mishawaka High School. : ' V ' 1 BL Kl F u fe B ?

The High School is proud of this find, for the book, which was written for an exhibit at the National Educa- tional Association, contains answers to examination questions which were worked out by several of Misha- waka ' s best known old residents. Among them we find papers written by Jesse 0. B. Stuart, C. H. Brinsmaid, Nellie Stanley, Ella Skerritt (Mrs. Butterworth), Henry Niles Jr., Willie D. Keyes, Jeanie W. Aitkin and Mary Klotz. Geo. A. Powles, Principal of High School wrote Arthur Laugton. Our teacher ' s name is Mr. Powles, His eyes are brown as any moles, He wears a wig so neat and fine, We really think him sublime. —Ertha Wilsnach, 1887, 1887 It seems but a short time since the Class of ' 87 marched to the stage of Burt ' s Opera House, where we delivered our very interesting and moralizing essays, and received our diplomas. There were ten of us, three boys and seven girls, making the largest class which had graduated from the Mishawaka High School, of which we were very proud. We are glad that the classes are growing larger each year, which shows that more boys and girls are taking advantage of their great opportunity for higher education. Although thirty years have passed, and four of our number are no more, those of us who remain, extend our greetings to the Class of 1917 and will be glad to wel- come you into the ranks of the Alumni. — Clara Loose Stockbarger. Thirty years ago! How the boys and girls would stare if schools should be taught now as then. Yet, the knowledge we gained from this teaching, has enabled us to appear advantageously upon the theatre of life. We were taught that education of every kind had two values: The value of knowledge and the value of discipline. So thorough was our teaching that the amount of practical knowledge we acquired has been at our com- mand through all our busy lives, and has been a valued asset to any success which may have come to us indi- vidually, or as a class. One pleasant memory I have of the Class of ' 87 is its unity. There was no side tracking — all were con- sidered; consequently — a jolly time on all occasions. Very little was said of the college education but we were instructed that by improving our time we could lay in a stock of useful knowledge that would enable us, when we reached womanhood and manhood to make a respectable stand by the side of those who had received a college education. Time changes! But the highest learning is to be wise, and the greatest wisdom is to be good. — Medora A. Powell. Probably no one of the Class of ' 87 is more interested in the schools or realizes the advancement made, than does the writer, who went from the first grade through the gradu- ation and has been connected with the schools ever since. There were few in the High School Faculty. The Principal assisted by the Superintendent and Eighth Grade teacher taught all the subjects. All pupils in each class took the same subjects, except the first and second year pupils, part of these took Latin and the others took German. The third and fourth year pupils recited together; one year both classes did third year work and the next year both classes did fourth year work. Examinations were held the last two days of each school month but we received no cards and it was the finals that determined whether we passed or failed. Pro- motions were made by grades and not by credits for sub- jects as they are to-day. Those who passed received a certificate of promotion. Once a month we had what was called Rhetoricals. The program consisted of recitations and compositions with a few songs and sometimes a dialogue to which the patrons and pupils listened with interest. At graduation each pupil was obliged to write, memorize and recite an essay as seen by the program. Social functions at the school were unknown. We had a few class parties at the homes. By comparing these facts with the present-day High School, one can have some idea of the educational ad- vancement made since 1887. — Marion G. Simanton. LIVING PICTURE FESTIVAL FIFTY-ONE Living Picture Festival THE Third Annual Living Picture Festival was presented to an appreciative audience, May the 21st, at the High School Auditorium. The pictures were of an interesting character, portraying pictures of life in all ages. The pictures were selected with much consider- ation and were thought to be a fine collection of master- pieces by artists whose names are well known in the field of art. The variety of ideas and the atmosphere of the pictures could easily be recognized from the inter- pretation given before the presentation of each picture. The selection of the individuals to portray the pic- tures were made with consideration as to their adapta- bility to each and every picture. The Festival was presented in fairy lore style. The interpretative dances were well received and the fairy story idea was very neatly interwoven in the play in which the living pictures featured. The music that accompanied each picture was select- ed to harmonize with the atmosphere of the picture add- ing much to the value of the picture itself and it was rendered by the very able musicians, Mrs. Violet Shy Parks and Miss Mary Doolittle. Much credit is given to those taking part and assist- ing in the Festival and especially to Miss Lockhart through whose efforts the Living Picture Festival was made possible this year and as well as the years previous. History Club Debating Club President— WALTER BARKEY. Vice President— MARGARET FREER. Secretary and Treasurer— EDGAR OBENCHAIN. President— IRVIN BEEHLER. Vice President ELLEN STUDLEY. Secretary and Treasurer MARY WAIDNER. THE History Club was organized this year by Mr. Legg. All seniors who were taking History were charter members and since then several members have been taken in from other classes. The initiation is quite severe but after once in, the club is very enjoyable. The club meets on Thursday nights every two weeks in the Public Library. Current events are discussed and papers read by members. Afterward a social hour is held. The club has had several outside speakers this year. These meetings are always open to the public. This club is one of the most interesting of all organizations in High School. THE Debating Club was organized at the beginning of the present school year for the purpose of pro- moting, among the high school students, an interest in public speaking, especially along the line of debating. The club meets every two weeks and has an inter- esting debate upon some timely subject. The social hour which follows is always lively and entertaining. Altho many of the members are seniors, the club has been established so well that next year it will undoubt- edly continue its good work and occupy an even larger place in the school life. Der Deutsche Verein DER Deutsche Verein of M. H. S. is one of the young- est organizations of the school. The club was or- ganized in 1915 with a membership of 9. This year the membership has increased to 12. Meetings are held during class periods every two weeks. Only those taking third year German are eligible. Jacob Riees ' book The Old Town has been read this year. The object of the club is to promote interest in the study of German by learning about the people and customs of both the past and present Germany. On the twenty-first of December a very pleasing Christmas program was given in the Auditorium under the auspices of the club. Miss Eddingfield deserves much credit for her interest and help rendered the club. President— EDGAR OBENCHAIN. Vice President— HELEN LOTT. Secretary and Treasurer — IRVIN BEEHLER. 1 , | -j j 1 f II ft l 1 l 1 % FIFTY-SEVEN The Boosters ' Club THE Boosters ' Club is one of the new organizations of M. H. S. This club was organized for the purpose of Boost- ing and promoting all desirable high school activities. In this first year the Club has made itself known to the public, when during the foot ball season, we thrust upon the public, bags of popcorn and peanuts, and megaphones. Throughout the basket ball season special ad- vertising was done by the club as well as ex- tras, such a parades, and pep meetings. About the biggest thing we have done this year was the Dinner at the Mishawaka Hotel which the Boosters ' Club gave in honor of the foot ball men, and indirectly we helped to bring about the party which was given by the Students ' Council in honor of the basket ball men. in n 1. 1 ' ; in Students Council AT the beginning of this year two A people from each class and five members of the faculty were elect- ed members of the Students Council. This organization was to have charge of all social activities and in general take the place of the old Social Club. The officers are: President, Wilbur Gartner; Vice President, Mary Stearns; Secretary-Treasurer, Marian Clark. On December 22 the Council gave a party to the students and faculty, but owing to the lack of High School spirit the party was a failure. Nothing else was attempted by the council until they planned the party given April 13th. This was a success in every way and we hope it will encourage the Students Council to give us many more such en- tertainments. Debating Teams FOR the first time M. H. S. was represented by a de- bating team. The team engaged in a triangular debate with Michigan City and Elkhart. The question debated was, Resolved: That the president should be elected for a single six year term, the affirma- tive team being Edgar Obenchain, James Beard and Irvin Beehler while the negative side was upheld by Holbrook Botset, Albert Jones and Norman Minzey. The teams were coached by Miss Dobbins and Miss Lowry. Mishawaka ' s affirmative team was defeated by the experienced negative team from Michigan City but our negative team journeyed to Elkhart and conquered the affirmative team of that city. As every member of the team except one will return to school, and with plenty of other material available next year should see our debating team among the fore- most of Northern Indiana. Discussion League John Burnett Jr. won the local discussion league contest and represented M. H. S. at the county contest. He defeated his only rival, Lippincott of South Bend in this contest. At the district contest he made a good ef- fort but was defeated as his opponents were all able and experienced speakers. r - y Hi v zl 0 AA) flt_JBi •0 f W II }yi i K Rhh 1 H jy r7 r — | HMmiii m s Society A. A. Party THE first social event of the year was an A. A. Party on Sept. 15. The lights were unruly and almost spoiled the evening but they were finally persuaded to stay on. It was a regular party all right even to the eats and dancing. Those who went home or to the movies before the lights went on missed a good time. Freshmen Masquerade It was a strange crowd that gathered in the Audit- orium on Oct. 30, supposedly for the annual Freshmen party but it looked more like the grand finale at the end of a circus. The lower classme n this year were possessed with enough originality to change the old order of things and give a Halloween Masquerade. We had quite a time at first in recognizing our best friends and some kept their identity a secret until time for unmasking, but it was a sociable crowd just the same. Some of the costumes were works of art and others — well, you couldn ' t very well tell just who or what the wearers were trying to impersonate. One of the big features of the evening was the re- freshments served in the dining room. It was a weird but gay scene upstairs when the dancing started. The shaded lights, the music and the strange costumes all added to the impressiveness of the scene. Every one went home satisfied with the Freshmen for giving them such a good time. Junior Class Hay Rack Ride On October 23 the Juniors with Miss Kern, Miss Sloan and Mr. Finch besides a lot of pickles, candy and other edibles started on hay racks to Mumby ' s farm. Miss Kern was on the hay rack with the eats or none of it would have been saved. Arrived at our destina- tion we sang and ate, played games and then ate some more. By that time it was time to start home. We were gay and noisy at first but a lovely, cold, wet mist rather lowered our spirits. It was a sleepy bunch that wandered into town about one o ' clock next morning and it took most of us all next day to rest. A. A. Party On the night of November 24 a party was given in the Auditorium for all high school students. It was a disgraceful affair — all realized that the next day. Re- freshments were served and a dance was held. We are very sure that this was not an example of the real High School spirit. Junior Class Party In honor of the basket ball men, who won for the Juniors the class championship cup, a party was given Jan. I I . This was a class affair and every one had one of the famous Junior good times. After games and re- freshments dancing was enjoyed. Our class has thoroughly demonstrated the fact that we can have a good time by ourselves. Maybe it is because there are so many exceptional people in our bunch — Ahem ! Sophomore Class Party On January 1 7 the Sophomores gave a class party in the Auditorium. Baby pictures of the faculty and class members were thrown on the screen and caused much amusement when the persons were identified. Refresh- ments, dancing and of course Home, Sweet Home, were other main features of the evening. A. A. Party Along about March 1 5 the Powers That Be, smiled, and a lot of people became exceedingly busy planning. The result of this was the party given on March 30. The Temple was reserved for the students in the after- noon. We made a lot of noise but for once no one cared. After the show we came back to the Auditorium where a picnic lunch was served. (One of our Juniors said that he didn ' t get enough to eat, but it is impossible to please every one all the time.) An Indiana-Purdue track meet was the next event. The two teams were under the able leaderships of Miss Kern and Mr. Finch. Miss Kern, the winning captain for Purdue was presented with a silver (?) loving cup. Dancing was enjoyed until 1 1 o ' clock and then we went home to dream about the good time we had had. Junior Box Social The Junior Class entertained the High School students on April 14 at an old fashioned box social. After the boxes were sold and supper over, dancing was in order. A fair sized amount was netted the Prom Fund bv this social. SIXTY-THREE Circus The Big M Circus The Big M Circus arrived in Mishawaka, May 4, 1917, and it was the best yet, thanks to Miss Kern. The parade started out at eleven forty-five. We had a line of big floats, clowns, balloons and horns, and all those things so necessary to a circus parade. At night our ring circus proved a grand success. The side shows were kept very busy. And could a circus be complete without confetti, hot dogs, ice-cream cones and lemonadeP Of course we had those, too. M. H. S. is much indebted to the faculty for their loyal support. SIXTY-F0U1 A. A. Play- Why Smith Left Home This question was answered on December 19, by the following people: Mr. Smith Mrs. Smith - General Billetdoux Mrs. Billetdoux Count Von Guggenheim Major Duncombe - Harry Rosenstein Martha Neiswonger - Rollin Lentz Marion Clark. Robert Meckelnburg Paul Fuson Miss Smith Bob (Mrs. Smith ' s brothsr) Rose ... Julia (maid) Elsie (maid) Lavinia (the cook) - - RuthBassctt Norman Minzey - Wilma Zimmerman Dorothy Williams Florence Burnett - Ruth Chrisman This play was given to raise money for the A. A. treasury. The cast was picked from the best talent in High School, all the classes being represented. The parts were well taken and the play was one of the best ever given here, thanks to the efficient coaching of Mr. Legg. SIXTY-SIX Sophomore Play On March 6, the Sophomore class gave a play The Runaway Couple in the Auditorium. The play was a credit to the Sophomores and the High School. Those in the cast were: Floyd Bellairs Ruth Lechlitner Esther Schmidt Helen Garns Phanor Howlett Wilma Gartner Harry Mason Leo Van Tilbury Bertha Hunt Albert Jones Charlotte Bressler SIXTY-SEVEN Mishawaka ' s Part in the Pageant The Historic Pageant of St. Joseph County was held at Spring- brook Park on Oct. 3-4-5, 1916. It was a celebration of the Indi- ana Centennial. The object was to show the early life of the pio- neers as they struggled to make Indiana what it is today. It por- trayed the dreams, struggles, and amusements of our sturdy fore- fathers. Mishawaka did her part by giving its early history. Six episodes of the twenty-four were devoted to Mishawaka and five were carried out by students of the Mishawaka High School. The first episode showed the building of Mishawaka and its rapid growth. The second episode pictured the first blacksmith shop and the making of wagons. It foreshadowed the industrial development of Mishawaka. The third and fourth were the school house and husking bee. These were especially true to early times and two of the most interesting episodes of the whole pageant. They were humorous and lent spice to the whole affair. The final episode showed the burning of Mishawaka and the determination of the citizens to rebuild. This episode was particularly interesting be- cause it made one feel as if he had a part in the incident. Mishawaka played no small part in one of the best pageants of the state. The Mishawaka H. S. deserved very much credit as most of the people in the five episodes were students of the school. It is quite a distinction, for in no other section of the State were episodes put on exclusively by a high school. CTY-EIGHT An Adventure in Betting 44 ' I HERE ' S no use arguing, Billy. Of course I j| want old L. H. S. to win but what chance have we against a school of their sizeP was the im- patient sentence hurled at Bill Somes by the girl he was going to take to the Junior Prom — namely, Peggy New. The aforesaid Billy was on his way to English class and he only had time to say hotly, All right, if you feel that way about it but I ' ll bet you a box of candy on the game. What do you sayP I say Yes ' before you change your mind was the unsympathetic reply and Peggy had vanished Latinward. Bill, who was captain of the basketball team, de- termined to instill all of the pep he could into the team that night before they went onto the floor, but in spite of splendid team work and the enthusiasm of the rooters, among whom Peggy was a leader, the score kept piling up against Lakewood High until the very end of the game. Next morning after the first bell had rung Billy came rushing in and to keep from being late to English, he slammed his cap and Peggy ' s box of candy in his locker and rushed upstairs, forgetting to shut the locker door tight and thus affording some of his enterprising class- mates ample material for a good joke. Say, fellows, remarked James Walker to three other boys, if you want to get someone real peeved just come with me. None of you have classes this period and you can miss assembly once. When the four trouble- brewers were downstairs again James explained that the candy was for Peggy because he had heard the bet made. Two of the boys went to the nearest 5 and 10 cent store while the others unpacked the perfectly good chocolates. The candy box was filled with paper wrapped kisses, gum drops, stick candy and even red pills and then it was carefully wrapped up and put back in the locker. At the end of the first period, unsuspecting Billy took the box of candy to Peggy and presented it with his compliments to the girl who couldn ' t lose a bet. Well of all the nerve and meaness that I ever heard of this is the absolute limit, was the next thing Billy heard Peggy say in the hall half an hour later. If you meant this for a joke it is a pretty poor one and if you didn ' t, then you needn ' t speak to me again. Poor Billy had only a chance to see the contents of the box and Peggy ran upstairs, a very indignant young lady. Billy turned around abruptly and as he did the four real criminals stopped laughing and started for their classes. Oh you senseless bunch of hyenas, I ' ll make you suffer for this, was the angry threat which followed them, for Billy had suddenly realized who had perpetrat- ed the joke. James sat next to Peggy in History that afternoon and while Mr. Brown was explaining about the Roman Dynasty, James, prompted partly by his sympathy for Billy but mostly because of the latter ' s threat, wrote a note to Peggy and fessed up. She, of course, was angry at first but then she saw the joke and soon forgave the whole bunch. Meeting Billy after class and before he had a chance to say anything, Peggy exclaimed, It ' s all right, Billy. Jim and the boys did it and I promised them that you wouldn ' t murder them, either. Oh I won ' t and by the way, Peggy, I ' m coming over tonight and bring you some real candy, may IP I ' ll think it over, was the uncertain reply but Billy knew he had been forgiven. — Helen Lott. SEYENTY-ONt; The Flowers of M. H. S. A bouquet of flowers, let ' s call them. All of a different hue, And let each flower represent A fellow tried and true. The first flower there is the Daisy, Now, who can that be — Alack! Not a single one but the captain, Jim Boles, our left half back. Two Roses in this big bouquet. Are the strong guards Doc and Kent. And through their careful watchfulness. Our heads are never bent. There ' s two Daffodils in this bunch. Whose names are Bob and Heick, And when we go to look for them. They are going down the pike. That great big tall middle flower Is Edgar, our Brown Eyed Susan, And when he once gets in the game, We never think of losin ' . Norman we ' ll call the Snap-Dragon Who ' s always on the field, Say when he snaps that whirling ball. Not one inch will he yield. The Astor we ' ll call Allen, here, A player who ' s renowned, The tricks and plays that he makes, Are such that can ' t be found. For ends we have two Tiger Lilies Who else but Webb and Brady! We wonder why they play so well. Perhaps — for some fair lady. That mammoth flower we ' ll call the Tulip Or Crum, the right half back, He reminds us all of Achilles, ' Cause no strength does he lack. There ' s Beehler, Dutch and Snyder, These three we ' ll call the Phlox, And while they ' re playing in the game. They ' re just as strong as rocks. Oh yes! one more now do we see, And mention it we will. For when a sub is needed, We know that Johnquil. Let ' s have the main one in the bunch. The Sunflower, big and tall, And when the other flowers want advice On Semler they will call. These flowers are held together By what? you all can guess, It ' s nothing more than the spirit Of dear old M. H. S. — Martha Neiswonger. cAn Invitation cA Thanksgiving Tale Dear Cousin: Will you come, my cousin, and share once more The joys of Spring as we ' ve done of yore; The trickling brook with its trout so gay That leaps and dashes and bustles away? The Long St. Joseph river lays In the same old bed as in former days. Once more we would sit on its banks so green Or ramble about on the edge of the stream. Facing the woods your room shall be, You can watch the budding of plant and tree And hear the birds their carol sing, The morning bright on their wings they bring. You ' re tired of study and work, I know, Come let us take in one good show Of what Mother Nature has done this year To bring about more joy and cheer. As to the eats, you very well know, We don ' t put on any pomp or show, But wholesome food and plenty, too, Will be our table ' s treat to you. Will you come, then, cousin, and enjoy again Our home ' s true welcome, the best you can? Forget the city and come to rest And your visit this time will be the best. i ours sincere ly. EDNA De LONG. There ' re two days every year Of which you always hear, The twenty-fifth of December And the last Thursday in November. The one of these that interests me most Is Thanksgiving with its turkey roast. Stuffed full of dressing to the top With sweet potatoes and gravy hot. And then there ' re pies of pumpkin and mince. And nuts and apples and candied quince, The round plum pudding so rich with wine Is a feast at which a king would dine. They say this is a day for thanks, For riches that are on us banked. But as for me, I never shirk When it conies to the eating of the turk. A drumstick first I will devour, The wishbone next without despair; This takes me almost half an hour, With twenty minutes yet to spare. The Doctor comes now morn and noon. To give me medics with a spoon, He holds my pulse until it hurts. And calmly says, Ate too much turk. — Paul Fuson. m: i:nt tiirkk The Wizard THE west-bound train rumbled over a mountain bridge and shrieked its arrival at Rockville, one of the small junctions in the district. One passenger entered a coach and took a vacant seat unobserved by most of the occupants. He was a man apparently sixty years of age, and his thin, slightly bent figure was dressed in a coarse woolen suit. He carried a small, black satchel in his hand and deposited it carefully on the seat beside him. When the train was on its way again, a passenger in the coach whispered to his companion, Did you notice that old man across the aisleP That person is one of the most noted scientists of America. I have had him pointed out to me previously, They call him ' The Wizard of the Mountains, ' since he has isolated himself for the greater part of the time somewhere in these lonely forest districts, for the purpose of his own scientific studies and inventions. Indeed, it rarely happens that we are honored with the presence of such a genius, replied the other. There is something remarkable in his features, especially the intellectual depth of his eyes. But why these rough clothes, and why does he travel in a common passenger coach P Oh, those are merely his own peculiarities, which only serve the more to characterize him. Soon the identity of the old man was whispered among the passengers, and each stared with interest, giving their own significant conjectures of him in a low tone: Yes, I believe he is the most wonderful astrologer in the world. I had a friend who knew him intimately. — or Observe that breadth of brow and the well-formed nose. Even his white beard shows intelligence. — or Notice the mysterious-looking satchel and how carefully he has it placed. Perhaps it contains the secret of some wonderful invention. Who knowsP Finally one of the passengers summoned courage to speak to the inventor, using words he hoped would raise him in the opinion of the Wizard, above his fellow- passengers. My friend, I believe we, as Americans, have a universal and withal a mutual interest in those deep mysteries which pertain to the composition and com- pound of elements with which Nature has deigned to sur- round our terrestial globe as the necessary basis for the solution of various scientifical theories. If you would give us your worthy opinion concerning those subjects — The remainder of the passengers waited almost breathlessly for the reply. It came instantly: Mein Gott in Himmel! Vot issP cried the digni- tary in blank amazement. The passengers drew back dumfounded, and gasped. At this moment the conductor entered. Say, cried a passenger, Who is that man with the satchelP The conductor laughed. Oh, himP That ' s old Dutch Von Buelin, only an old mountaineer up at Rock- ville. WhyP Meanwhile, the so-called Wizard, seeing eyes turn- ed from him to the conductor, quietly opened the myster- ious-looking satchel and extracted a huge hunk of lim- burger cheese and two long rolls of bologna. At this the passengers roared with laughter, and the man who had addressed the Dutchman stammered: I — I — er — thought it was Prof. Schultzermann — but — but I don ' t think it is, he finished weakly. Again the passengers roared, and poor old Dutch Von Buehn grinned and blinked his intellectual eyes between huge bites of bologna, as if he enjoyed the whole affair. Perhaps he did, who knowsP — Ruth Lechlitner. SKVKXTY-FIVE thleti 1CS 1916-17 si-;v r: TY- si-: ven MH. S. is very fortunate in having as it ' s head athletic director, Charles A. Semler, Earlham 15. When in college Semler was one of the most noted athletes in the middle west, and was a member of the Earlham foot ball team for three years. In his senior year he was captain of the team and was given a place on the honor- ary All-State team of Indiana. As coach of the foot ball and basket ball teams in M. H. S. Semler has instilled into the players a new spirit of fight and of fair play. The teams have not only equaled but have exceeded the standard set by former M. H. S. teams. Semler measures success in athletics not only from a standpoint of games won and lost but from the satisfaction of honest effort and good sportsman- ship. It is the hope of the entire student body that next year Semler will return to again head M. H. S. through a successful season of athletics. si: lni ' v i:h;ht Semler was never afraid to rough up his players; he coached by actions as well as by words, as many a recruit has discovered. Capt. Boles distinguished himself in every game by his fight- ing qualities. He could always be depended upon to advance the ball. Capt. Elect Crum was a hard and faithful worker who always gave his best to the team. These qualities should make him an ideal captain next year. Meckelnburg covered lots of ground at tackle and was into every play attempted on his s.de of the line. Obenchain at center passed with unerring accuracy and made the center of the line invulnerable. Gartner altho a new man at the game, was very fast, and his tackling was sure and hard. Bachtel, the big guard, was the mainstay of the left side of the line and his opponents found t practically impossible to gain on a play directed at him. Beehler was a strong steady player, whose willingness to work is shown by the fact that he has not missed a single practice during the last two seasons. SEVENTY-N1 Minzey at quarterback was full of pep and signals at all stages of the game. His generalship was a great aid toward the victories of the team. Burnett, altho small, was full of fight and stopped many an attempted end run without any gain. McMillan was used at guard and tackle and always played a strong, consistent game. Snyder was an efficient backfield substitute who will un- doubtedly be one of the mainstays of next year ' s team. Brady, besides stopping all attempts to gain around his end, was a brilliant receiver of the forward pass. Cuddahy played a dependable game at guard and in addition was required to do most of the kicking for M. H. S. Heick could play in the line or in the backfield with equal skill and his place will be one of the most difficult to fill. Stanley at full back with his splendid interference was re- sponsible for many of the long gains made by our half- backs. Review of the Season When Coach Semler issued a call for foot ball candi- dates eight letter men and about thirty recruits responded. From these a fast team was developed. The season was a success both from an athletic and a financial viewpoint. The team showed the re- sults of a year ' s experience and was in every way superior to last year ' s squad. The students and towns-people gave the team loyal support. Our team should be a great success next year as ten letter men are expected back in addition to a wealth of other available material. GAMES Oct. 7 M. H. S. lost the first game of the season at East Chi- cago, 19 to 0. Both sides played good foot ball and the first half ended in a scoreless tie. In the second half East Chicago managed to get three touchdowns and won the game. Oct. 14 Mishawaka triumphed over Goshen in the first home game of the season, 33 to 7. Goshen was held scoreless until the last few minutes of the game when M. H. S. with several substitutes in the lineup allowed them a single touchdown. Oct. 21 Mishawaka was defeated at Elkhart in a poorly played contest, 13 to 0. When three regulars were injured in the first five minutes of play. M. H. S. lost her characteristic pep and did not display her usual quality of foot ball. Followers of the team are confident that M. H. S., altho defeated, was the better team of the two. Nov. 5 the M. H. S.-Ligomer game was a walk-away for Mishawaka. With practically no opposition the Maroon and White canied the ball up and down the field. The result was M. H. S. 56, Ligonier 0. Hopes ran high for a victory for Misha- waka over South Bend next Saturday. Nov. 12 before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a high school athletic contest in this city, M. H. S. lost the final game of the season to South Bend H. S. The first half ended with South Bend leading us by 20 points, but Mishawaka was fighting stub- bornly and in the second half swept South Bend off their feet, reg- istering a well-earned touchdown. Toward the end of the game S. B. H. S. procured another lucky touchdown making the final score 26 to 6. EIGHTY-ONE EIGHTY-TWO The Team CAPTAIN HUNT as center always played a consist- ent game and was never out-fought or out-jumped. Without a thought of individual playing he fitted into the teamwork perfectly. Captain elect Roper broke up more plays than any other man on the team, and any forward he guarded secured a basket only by the hardest kind of work. Miller was the chief offensive strength of the team. As a basket shot and all-around forward he is the equal of any player that M. H. S. has produced. Boles was a fine basket shot and was in the game every minute. The rougher the game, the better he liked it. Crum gave his best always and playing floor guard most of the time he generally managed to get a couple of baskets each game. Shreve was very fast and an accurate shot and was usually successful in making his guard look foolish. Brady could play guard or forward with equal skill and his speed and fighting qualities made him a valuable substitute. Review of the Season Immediately following the inter-class contests, won by the Juniors, Coach Semler picked the squad of four- teen men, from which he selected our first and second teams. Basketball this year was placed upon a larger scale than ever before. The games were played in the old M. E. church building, before greater crowds and on a better floor, and the schedule was one of the hardest that M. H. S. has ever faced. The team came thru the season with great success, winning a large majority of its games and was one of the best teams which has ever represented the school. Individual Records Players Miller Boles.

H. S. 64, Wakarusa 3. Dec. 8 Mishawaka opened the season with an easy victory over Wakarusa H. S. Our entire second team was used during the second half. M. H. S. 16, Laporte 31. Dec. 15 Laporte defeated Misha- waka in the first real contest of the year, 31 to 16. M. H. S. led by one point at the half time but weakened in the second period and Laporte piled up the score. M. H. S. 19, Bremen 7. Dec. 21 M. H. S. won a slow game from Bremen, 19 to 7. The low ceiling and poor floor prevented Mishawaka from making a much larger score. M. H. S. 36, Nappanee 14. Dec. 22 Nappanee proved easy for the locals and went home with the short end of a 36 to 14 score. M. H. S. 39, Concordia College 15. Jan. 5 in one of the best games of the season M. H. S. defeated the fast Concordia Col- lege team 39 to 1 5. The play was rough but both sides exhibited the best kind of sportsmanship. M. H. S. 7, Rochester 18. Jan. 12 inability to hit the basket caused Mishawaka ' s downfall at Rochester, 18 to 7. Roches- ter is given credit for being the best team on the M. H. S. schedule. M. H. S. 30, Elkhart 16. Jan. 19 the maroon and white de- feated Elkhart in a well played game, 30 to 16. M. H. S. exhibited some of the best teamwork of the year. M. H. S. 17, South Bend 27. Jan. 27 we gave our old rival South Bend an awful scare before they succeeded in defeating us. The end of the first half found us leading by one point but the large floor proved too great a handicap and we could not keep up the pace. M. H. S. 23, Interlaken 18. Jan 31 Mishawaka won a close, interesting game from the strong Interlaken squad, 23 to 18. Both teams were in fine form and the guarding and basket shooting was of the best. M. H. S. 25, Elkhart 7. Feb. 2 for the first time in three years, M. H. S. was able to beat Elkhart on Elkhart ' s floor. E. H. S. did not score a field goal, all her points coming from free throws. M. H. S. 28, Goshen 5. Feb. 3 Goshen was held to one field goal and M. H. S. walked away with the game 28 to 3. Goshen can no longer be counted a dangerous rival to M. H. S. in any branch of athletics. M. H. S. 16, South Bend 38. Feb. 9. The big game of the year, the home contest with South Bend, found M. H. S. with two regulars out of the lineup and the team in their weakened con- dition could not withstand the attack of the husky S. B. players. M. H. S. 28, Nappanee 15. Feb. 13 Mishawaka journeyed to Nappanee and easily defeated the smaller school, 28 to 15. At no time was the outcome in doubt. M. H. S. 23, Rochester 19. Feb. 16 M. H. S. won the big- gest victory of the year when they defeated Rochester, strong contenders for the state ' s championship, in a rough but clean game, 23 to 19. M. H. S. 17, Laporte 37. Feb. 23 Laporte again upheld her reputation as the luckiest team in Northern Indiana when they won from M. H. S. 37 to 1 7. M. H. S. 34, Goshen 6. Mar. 2 M. H. S. closed her regular schedule with an easy victory over Goshen H. S., 34 to 6,. Sectional Tournament, South Bend M. H. S. 68, Lakeville 5. Mar. 7 M. H. S. conquered the weak Lakeville team in the opening game of the tournament, 68 to 5. M. H. S. 18, South Bend 44. Mar. 8 M. H. S. was eliminated in the second round of the tournament by South Bend, the sectional winners. Despite the fact that the game was played early in the morning a large crowd of faithful rooters accompanied the team and it was a typical S. B. H. S. vs. M. H. S. game. The Athletic Association President— ARTHUR HUNT. Vice President— WILBUR GARTNER. The Athletic Association, the oldest as well as the largest and most active organization in the school, has experienced one of the biggest years of its history. The association not only supported all kinds of ath- letics but also financed several high school parties and controlled the local Indiana Discussion Contest and the Debating Team. Secretary— MARTHA NEISWONGER. Treasurer MR. C. A. SEMLER. The Association adopted one important Amendment to its constitution which provided that to win a sweater an athlete is required to win two letters in any branch of major athletics, (Football, Basket ball, Track). Only one sweater will be given a student during his high school career.

Throughout the entire season they were never beaten. They defeated both South Bend and Elkhart ' s second teams twice, which clearly marks them as the best second team in Northern Indiana. Their strength and ability is shown by the fact that they held their opponents to an average of eight points per game, an exceedingly low score. The team proved a worthy opponent in practice for the first team and with such material as this M. H. S. need not worry con- cerning the success of next year ' s team. EIGHTY-SIX Girls Basketball Despite unfavorable conditions more interest in girls basket- ball wa; displayed this year than ever before. For the first time interclass contests were held, the Seniors being winners with the Freshmen a close second. Three games with out-of-town schools were played. Our first team defeated the St . Josephs team from South Bend, 28 to 7, but in turn were defeated by Elkhart ' s first team, 23 to 13. Our Freshmen Team succeeded in defeating Elkhart ' s second team, 17 to 14, at the local gym. Kl ' iHTY-NF.VKX The Track Team A LTHO handicapped by a late start, the f- track men have practiced faithfully and with a good cinder track just completed much is expected of the team before the close of the season. The first inter-class track and field meet was held this year and was won by the Sen- iors, followed by the Sophomores, Juniors and Freshmen respectively. In a quadrangular meet at South Bend between South Bend, Elkhart, Goshen and Mishawaka, Williams took second place in the 220 yard dash and Captain C. Snyder finished third in the mile. At least two more meets are scheduled for the team, a dual meet with Elkhart May 16, and the Northern Indiana meet at Gary May 19. Following is the line-up of the team: 100 yd. dash Minzey, Williams 220 yd. hurdles - - Obenchain, Lehr Mile - C. Snyder, Kelly 220 yd. dash Williams, Minzey Quarter Mile I.

H. S. Class of 1917, Greetings: In bidding good-bye to your Alma Mater and going out into the world to seek fame and fortune, you assume responsibilities that will incur many obligations. The first and most important obligation is to yourselves; to provide yourselves with the means to successfully over- come the obstacles of the world in your chosen path, be it a professional or a business one. Financial independence is of necessity the most im- portant accomplishment you can achieve, and will be your chief assistant in working out and overcoming the many, many obstacles you will encounter in your life work. To achieve success in the world of today, it requires not only that you be equipped with the most complete knowledge of the particular profession you choose to fol- low, but also that you apply yourself constantly and ever- lastingly to it. How can you do this if you fail to provide early in life the necessary financial security to relieve you of the burden we must all carry — that of providing shelter, food and clothing for the human body? Knowing that this suggestion is both timely, and im- portant, The Lincoln Garden Realty Company wishes to call your attention to the opportunity now offered you to make your dream of future success secure and more easily accomplished, by getting a home of your own now. Get it where you can get the best at the least expense: where your surroundings will always be pleasant, and the measure of your happiness will be limited only by your own ability to enjoy real comfort. Get yourself a home in The Lincoln Garden Addition, right here in the fastest growing, most easily accessible section of good old Mishawaka — Your home and mine; and good enough for anybody. Lots selling on easy monthly payments, under the most liberal form of contract ever written. Five dollars invested now means a step toward future financial independence.

Man To BOHElVIES■ ' FROM THE BOHEMIAN CLUB Miss Lockhart was heard to say that she had a very enjoyable time chaperon- ing the White Rats Wieney-roast. Chancie Snyder agrees with her. Charles Engers said he thought at the time that Milton Stubbs ' hand was larger than most girls ' hands. We wonder what resemblance between Paul F. and Carma L. caused Rollin L. to make that fatal mistake. Rollin Lentz seems to have taken a dislike to Miss Buck and made mention of the fact in Mr. Eikenberry ' s presence. After Mr. Eikenberry left, Mr. Legg told Rollin to apologize as Mr. Eikenberry was engaged to Miss Buck. Next day Mr. Eikenberry was wise but Rollin. still undecided, hung around the office looking for a good opportunity to apologize. In the evening Mr. Eikenberry, Mr. Legg and Rollin were at school. After Mr. Eikenberry left, their presence told Rollin it was his chance. Rollin apologized and then became wise. THE NEWS-TIMES Is doing things for Mishawaka.

T8Mpg| Years of specialization have made the Stafford organiza- tion unusually expert in engraving and designing for college and school publications. The most modern shop equipment gives us every facility for prompt production of quality etchings, halftones and color plates. Stafford halftones are made by the famous Levy acid- blast process, which gives a cleaner, deeper and sharper etch than the tub method generally used. Printers like Stafford plates because it makes it easier for them to give you a first-class job. The Stafford hand-book, Engiaving for College and School Publications, containing 164 pages and over 300 illustrations, gives valuable suggestions for planning your publication, preparing copy and ordering en- gravings. It prevents costly mistakes and assures you of highest quality engravings at lowest cost. We do not sell this book — we merely lend it without charge to the staff of each publication for which we make the engravings. In addition to the general assistance of this handbook, we give you also our direct and individual co-operation. Stafford engravings and Stafford co-operation will help to assure the success of any college or school publication STAFFORD ENGRAVING COMPANY FREE Artists, Designers, Engravers Century Building, Indianapolis, Ind. This is the book that we loan without charge to the staff of every publication for which we make the en- gravings.
