The most important activity of its second year was the presentation of two one-act plays, Uncle Jimmie and Bills . Early in the fall Francis Denman was elected president of the class. This year there was a Christmas party given with the Sen- iors and in the second semester several dances. The play Not so Fast was one of its greatest accomplishments. Last but not least came the Prom. The officers elected early this year were: Francis Denman President Bess Warner Vice-President Mark Kline Treasurer Helen Fry Secretary Lois Webster Board of Control The sponsors for the class are Mr. Chapman, Miss Duguid, Miss Heimbach, Miss Park and Mr. Broman.

IJ3 Mechling Lov Airgood Collins Class of 1928 The Class of ' 28 was the first freshman class to enter the new building and the proverbial green freshmen were no greener than the upper classmen. If the newcomers found the spacious halls confusing their peers were equally dazed. The unexpected happened — the class was allowed to organize with Thoburn Wiant as president. The officers elected this year were: Clifford Mechling President Ellis Airgood Vice-President Clodine Collins Secretary-treasurer Roy Lowman Board of Control The one-act plays, in which the class made a successful dramatic debut were Three Pills in a Bottle and The Late Delivery . During the first semester a Christmas party was given and the crowning event of the second semester was an April Fool Frolic.

TX XT aairm J (omiDAaa Steele ' Steele is boss of the field — there is never any doubt aboul that. Steele likes his boys and he labors to turn them out as men His theory is that physical contact gives an athlete the moral confidence to Go out and crack ' em after the school days are over. He is proud of his men ' s scholastic standing. He is stern but he is considerate. When the game is on he does not say much but after the game when the fellows are coming off the field he goes up and gives each one a friendly slap and says, Good going . For the first time since 1920 Mishawaka was able to win every game, giving us claim to the State cham- pionship. The whole school is behind Steele . JUk- % [ Page 70 ] The Season Never before in the history of Mishawaka High School has there been such a victorious football season as this one which we have just experienced. Its equal has been approached but never reached and probably will never be ex- celled. To go through eight hard games undefeated is a task seldom accom- plished. The reasons, however, for this brilliant success are not hard to find. With Coach Steele at the helm assisted by Coach Shake and with a Captain like Lindzy we could rest assured, for there are none who could work harder than these three for the making of a winning football team. Moreover the team itself, although it suffered the loss of several letter men, came back with unequaled determination to work hard.

First String Football Men Football fans gloried in the backfield with its wealth of material and the runners justified this confidence during the season ' s games. Much praise was also given to the stone wall line which stopped all line plunges. At the outset, Coach Steele, fearing over-confidence, shut off the pressure and limited his beaters to simple plays, but he opened up when we played Elk- hart, the former champs.

Reserves in Football Battered and banged to a frazzle, this fighting crew furnished opposition to the mighty Maroons night after night. To say they put the first squad in fight- ing trim would be putting it mildly. Like the minute of men of old, they pre- pared themselves in the nightly frays, and were ready to jump into the game at the instant call of Coach Steele. A more loyal, industrious and peppier gang of reserves could never be found. MJ [ Page 73 I September 26 — Mishawaka 20, East Chicago 13 In the opening game with East Chicago, Mishawaka, remembering a 28-0 defeat last year, was determined to win. The Maroons tried straight football formations. Don Neif ' s touchdown encouraged the team in the first quarter. Each team failed to score during the second period. Beginning the third quarter the score stood 6-0. East Chicago came back fighting to tie the score. Two minutes after the third quarter started, Webster scored another touchdown and Lindzy kicked goal. With each team holding the other to its downs Misha- waka was forced to punt and East Chicago, catching the ball, made their first touchdown. Mishawaka endeavored to break through the line for another touchdown and Dean Brady scored the final touchdown for the Maroons. East Chicago then began a desperate aerial attack. A pass tried by the Maroons was intercepted by an East Chicago player who was downed two feet from his goal. After sev- eral attempts to carry the ball over the line, East Chicago finally succeeded and the game ended, 20-13. CLARENCE LINDZY Quarter-Back CYRIEL HIMSCHOOT Tackle [ Page 74 ] October 3 — Mishawaka 28, Niles 7 The papers were full of news about Niles ' fast team. In spite of this fact Coach Steele sent in his second string men who proved successful. Kemper took the ball for a forty-five yard end run; eluding the three men between him and the goal he crossed the line for the first touchdown. Walt Brady scored two touchdowns before Niles knew what had happened. Later Doyle, intercepting a pass, plunged through for another touchdown. Heiser kicked goal. Captain Lindzy scored a touchdown and kicked goal. Niles was furious. Niles ' right end grabbed a triple pass and rushed for their first touchdown. Coach Steele substituted all through the game, giving the reserves an op- portunity to gain new laurels. RALPH KREITER Tackle [ Page 75 ] October 10 — Mishawaka 51, Jefferson of Lafayette Jefferson High, which was to give Mishawaka one of its hardest struggles this season, failed to live up to the advance notice. Walt Brady made the first touchdown in the first six minutes of play. Touchdowns by Lindzy and Webster came in the next six minutes. In the second quarter Coach Steele sent in various second string men. Doyle began the scoring and Walt Brady made a sensational 75 yard run for the fifth touchdown. Heiser scored the extra point. First string men were back in for the second half. During the third period Mishawaka was held to one touchdown made by Captain Lindzy who also made the extra point. In the final quarter Heiser and Doyle added two more touch- downs for Mishawaka. Heiser added the extra point. The game ended in a 51-0 victory. [ Page 76 ] October 17 — Mishawaka 53, Plymouth Plymouth looked rather good at the outset against Steele ' s reserves until the Maroons got down to business. Gains of ten, fifteen, and twenty yards were made through the line or around the ends with the linemen showing excellent form in providing open- ings. The Maroons ' first touchdown was made by Walt Brady in the first seven minutes of play. Dean Brady skirted an end run of fifty-five yards for a touchdown, but Mishawaka ' s line was caught offside and the score was not allowed. In the second quarter with the Maroon eleven warmed up, four touchdowns were made by Webster, Neff, Dean Brady and Lindzy, bringing the score to a 33-0 count at the end of the half. Heiser scored again at the beginning of the fourth period. Lindzy made the last touchdown and kicked goal. l EUGENE HEISER Quarter-Back O- s«l_ [ Page 77 ] October 14 — Mishawaka 51, Warsaw 6 The first play was stopped by Warsaw, but on the second, Dean Brady, without interference, passed the line of scrimmage and scored the first touch- down. Walt Brady made another counter and a few minutes later the third was made by Eminger, who recovered a Warsaw blocked kick and ran fifty- five yards. In the second period Doyle chalked up another touchdown by an eighty yard run. Later Doyle made the fith touchdown. In the final quarter two touchdowns were made by Lindzy and Brady. Warsaw ' s touchdown was gained by a mis- hap — Warsaw punted, Heiser picked the ball up behind his own goal line, struck the goal post and dropped the ball. A Warsaw player immediately fell on it thus giving them six points. [ Page 78 ] November 7 — Mishawaka 1 3 , Benton Harbor 3 A wet and slippery field, coupled with a strong wind, greatly retarded the Mishawaka-Benton Harbor game. The second string was used in the first quar- ter, and then replaced in the second period by the first string. After a few minutes of play Lindzy scored a touchdown. A second touch- down was made by Dean Brady, who carried the ball twenty yards o n an off-tackle play. During the balance of the game the Maroons were within scoring distance twice, but fumbles and a slippery field made further gains almost impossible. % c October 31 — Mishawaka 10, South Bend They say history repeats itself. It did at Cartier field during the Misha- waka and South Bend game. Lindzy, playing half-back, booted a perfect twenty-seven yard drop-kick against the Orange and Blue last fall. This year he did the same thing, scoring three points. From the first, South Bend put up a game, but losing, fight. Mishawaka was at its best and her ancient rivals were unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Cavemen. The lone touchdown was made by Doyle, after his team-mates had cleared the way. Much praise must be given to Webster who played with two broken fingers which became dislocated several times during the game. Mishawaka had met and again defeated her old rival, was the cause of much rejoicing. The 10 to score STANFORD ERNHART Center WENDELL LOWMAN Guard [ Page 80 ] November 14 — Mishawaka 54, Elkhart The former champs were no match for the Maroon Cavemen. Confident of victory, Elkhart threw a scare into Mishawaka by immediately making two first downs on plays through the line. The Maroons rallied, however, and shoved the ball up to the five-yard line on line plays and Dean Brady carried it over for the first touchdown. At the beginning of the second quarter Dean Brady made a successful pass to Webster, for a twenty-nine yard gain. A second Brady-Webster pass placed the pigskin ahead sixteen yards and Walt Brady followed with a touchdown. In the third period Elkhart started to pass within the shadows of its own goal. Lindzy intercepted a pass and raced for a touchdown, making the score 19 to 0. Doyle continued the interception of the aerial attack and made the fourth marker. A Doyle-Webster combination succeeding in piling up twenty-eight more points in the last quarter. Lindzy contributed a field goal, making the final score 54 to 0. t Page 81 ] Statistical Survey of Elkhart Game Running Plays (Mishawaka) Doyle, 73 yards, 1 first down; Neff, 36 rds, 4 first downs; D.

With his usual ability he developed a team and a team with Shake as coach means no stars but everybody sharing in a smooth running machine. Surely Mishawaka High School is to be congratulated in securing the services of one who takes such an interest in our activities and one who is such an excellent basketball coach. [ Page 86 ] JRU _ x_ v The Season It was for Coach Shake to develop the most formidable basketball team Mishawaka has seen in years. He had some dependable veterans, a few men of limited varsity experience and many promising youngsters. With this material and a few days practice, the coach whipped into shape a team that won the admiration of basketball fans. The season was distinctly a success.

First String Basket Ball Team Captain Himschoot, playing the best game of his career at back guard, led the Maroons through the successful season. Ernhart and Eminger divided honors as guards. Brady and DeCook were regular forwards but when Den- man and Hartzog were advanced to the first squad they shared with them in the games. Bennett as center and back guard played a good game through- out the year. Doyle at guard and center displayed his usual speed in all games. Lindzy left us at the end of the first semester, but not before he had helped to win several games. Weist proved to be an excellent center, alternating with Doyle.

Second String Basket Ball Team When the time for the first game came the second string men had de- veloped to such an extent that they gave the varsity substantial opposition. Coach had no easy time in deciding who should have regular berths, in fact he shifted his squad several times before the season closed. Ten out of thirteen games on their schedule were won by the fighting seconds. We have some promising varsity material for next year in this squad. [ Page 89 1 L Page 90 ] OPrv [ Page 91 ] [ Page 92 ] [ Page 93 ] The Season ' s Games December 4 th The team started its schedule with Bremen, The fellows could not get over the football style of play. Bremen had played several games before we had even thought of practicing for basketball but under this handicap the game ended in a Mishawaka victory 42-29. December 5 th The next evening it was not so difficult for the fellows to get started even though it was a harder game. Coach Shake substituted to find the men who could play defense as well as offense. It seemed as if Nappanee would take the lead but not as long as our men could fight would they let them get it. At the final whistle the score was in the favor of the Maroons, 27-23. December 1 1th Mishawaka players knew they had a hard game before them when they had to play LaPorte, but that did not scare them. The first half ended 5-11 in favor of LaPorte. The team seemed disheartened but they came back for the final half, making the same number of points as LaPorte. It seemed im- possible to make any more. The game ended 21-27 with LaPorte at the long end. December 1 8 th The next week followed with another formidable opponent, Plymouth. It seemed to be the team ' s off-night. They fought hard but did not progress any. The game ended with a defeat 22-35. Dcember 2 1st The team started on the southern trip during Christmas vacation. This was more for experience than for anything else. Southern Indiana is noted for good basketball teams. The team first met Alexandria and won 31-25. December 22 nd The next night they met Greencastle ' s strong team. At the end of the half Mishawaka was in the lead 22-19. But the second half did not end so well. A 33-36 defeat. December 23rd Three games in succession made a strenuous program. Against Brazil the Shakers started out with a seventeen point lead. Then suddenly Brazil began making points. Coach Shake substituted but that did not help. They lost 28-30. January 8th Here was the big game at South Bend. The Y as usual proved inade- quate. We need not say anything about how the Maroons played because they always play their best when playing their old rivals. But all in vain! The game ended 20-23, South Bend ' s favor. January 9th The following evening was an easy game — really one-sided. Niles has a small team. They fought tenaciously but could not win over Mishawaka ' s quintet. The score was 36-22. January 15th Of course Lakeville once upon a time had a good team but this year must have been an exception. We overwhelmingly defeated them to the tune of 55-11. 1 [ Page 94 ] January 1 6th Elkhart was out to win. A good game, I should say. The first half was close, 10-9, but Mishawaka held the lead. Coach substituted to find the men who could make baskets. Denman started going well as soon as he was put into the game. He made three baskets in succession which put pep into the game. Elkhart tried to keep up with us but it was impossible. The game ended 28-15. January 2 3rd The team was at its best when playing Goshen. It had the best team work and Goshen ' s defense was poor. We were the victors, 41-20. January 30th If you wanted to see a real fight you should have been at the Rochester game. The first half looked rather bad, the score being 6-14 for Rochester. Due to the determination instilled by Coach Shake ' s talk, the second half started with an apparently new team. They played basketball and although the game ended with our defeat, 23-25, it was one of the best games. February 5th This game with LaPorte was like the Rochester game — so fast you couldn ' t tell who had the ball part of the time. It kept Crown on the jump. The game ended with another defeat, 35-40. February 6th Oh, South Bend again! Mishawaka was all set for this game. Of course it was close. The half ended with Mishawaka one point ahead, 14-13. Cap- tain Himschoot patted all the men on the back at the beginning of the second half. He always puts a little more fight into them. Fight? I should say they fought. The game ended with a great victory 29-24. February 12th Both Bremen ' s and Mishawaka ' s teams were better developed near the end of the season and played a much better game than earlier in the season, but Mishawaka won 40-21. February 13th Many suppositions were put forth as to the ability of the Kendallville five. Elkhart had beaten them and we had beaten Elkhart, but that is not safe betting in basket ball. The Maroons won by the margin of 31-25. February 19th Again we meet Elkhart. Elkhart, who has a little rival feeling toward Mishawaka, came over to win. But Ernhart showed his ability to shoot. The half ended 21-4. Elkhart came back at the beginning of the second half con- dent they could win. With both teams fighting hard, the game ended in Mish- awaka ' s victory 32-12. February 26th The last game of the schedule was with Warsaw. Warsaw ' s team was small but mighty. They fought hard, but a large gym was a disadvantage to them. Brady and DeCook were the marksmen of that game, both making over ten points. The game ending with a victory, 37-15. The Sectional Tournament Mishawaka ' s first game was with Center township. The game was too easy to be interesting. Brady led with 32 points to his credit, Bennett was second with 18 points. The game ended 106-4. The next game was with Madison township, some of whose players used to belong to Mishawaka High School. We won 51-3. True to pre-tournament dope, Mishawaka clashed with South Bend in the final game. Mishawaka was picked to win. The game was a toss-up with South Bend winning the toss 26-25. There ' s another year, South Bend. fr m M_ M JM [ Page 95 ] Dean Brady, Herman Cohen, James Finch, Stanford Ernhart.

The interclass system is commendable because practically every man in school is afforded a chance to participate in one or more of the interclass sports. Stanford Ernhart and Dean Brady as amateur coaches proved successful in directing the energetic and enthusiastic Seniors. The team work of the champion Seniors was especially remarkable in that it was developed in such a short time.

Track of 1926 With the opening of the season of 1926 Mishawaka track field enthusiasts began to dope out the possibilities of the Maroon and White performers against the stiff competition provided for them. Track is the most individual of the major sports; it brings a greater indi- vidual reward than football, baseball or basketball. It also puts the men in shape for the other sports. One of the features of this year ' s season was a dual meet with South Bend High which was heartily supported by both schools. Although we were beaten 55-46, everyone enjoyed the contest with the old rival and will look forward to such matches in future years.

In spite of the hardships and the fact that not enough girls came out for interclass teams, there were always two teams at practice and the enthusiasm warranted making hockey a major sport another year. Hockey enthusiasts are hoping now to have the athletic field in shape early next fall so that they will not have to travel so far away to enjoy the sport, thus making it easier for more girls to respond to the call.

Volley Ball Juniors! They won every game, proclaiming them champions. And they were closely contested games — just look at the scores. And the Freshmen won a game too! Volley Ball is a between season sport, a preliminary for basket ball and when played well is one of the best sports known. Accuracy and alertness are required, keeping the players on their toes every minute.

In fact about all points made in interclass this year went to the champion Sen- ior team for they won every game by a large margin. However, the other classes showed up very well considering the veterans on the Senior team who had played together all four years.

The purpose of the band is to furnish music for athletic events and other school activities and afford instruction in band music to boys in High School. It is open to all boys whether they have had any experience or not; thus many boys were given their first instruction in playing band instruments. The band made its first appearance at the East Chicago game. At the South Bend game they appeared in their uniforms, which were bought by the Board of Control and the Lion ' s Club. The band played at all home football games, the Armistice Day parade, the Christmas Eve celebration, and some of the basketball games. On February 18, 1926 it presented its first annual con- cert. The band is an organized body having a constitution and by-laws. The officers are : Director Mr. Wood President Ed.

The first play was written by Rachel Lymans Fields. The theme of it is the mysterious disappearance of three pills, which were given by Tony, an invalid, to each of his three spiritual visitors. The pills had been given him by his mother who had sacrificed her savings so that her son might get well. The play was coached by Miss Leila Heimbach. The cast was as follows: Tony Sims Clodine Collins. Mrs. Sims Emily Blanford. The Gentleman William Cerri. The Gentleman ' s Soul Charles Rowe.

The cast was as follows: Tim Redver Clothier. Bill Lewis Jacobson. Marjory Esther Loop. Mrs. Grice Estelle French. Mr. Grice David Goldman. L Page 121 ] Not So Fast The Junior class proved that they had real dramatic talent when they gave their annual class play. The play was Not So Fast by Conrad Westervelt. The story deals with a slow, indifferent co-guardian of the Standish estate, who, for all his provoking hesitation and sluggish movements in business deals, al- ways manages to find himself ahead of the game. Warren Curtis, as the co- guardian, performed in a most commendable manner, and played his part con- sistently well throughout the play. Much credit is due to Paul Culp who did good acting in the part of James Acton; Bess Warner showed dramatic ability as the older sister, Mary Standish; and the light hearted and gay younger sister, Rose Standish, was impersonated remarkably well by Helen Mae Jernegan. The rest of the characters all of whom contributed to the success of the perform- ance were Marvin Keiser as Robin Standish, Don Rodgers, as Sylvester Vane, Lois Webster as Faye Fathergill, and Helen Cone as the maid. Miss Lora Duguid coached the play. [ Page 122 | Charley ' s Aunt I m Charley ' s Aunt from Brazil, where the nuts come from. We laughed, you laughed, and everybody laughed at Charley ' s Aunt, the three act comedy presented by the Senior Class. The play is about two college boys who are very much in love with two girls. In order to have the girls visit them, it is necessary to have a chaperone and Charley ' s Aunt, who is coming from Brazil to visit Charley, fills the requirements. The girls arrive. A telegram — the aunt is not coming. Fancourt Babberly, another student at the college, is pre- vailed upon to impersonate Charley ' s Aunt. Gordon Ellsasser as Charley ' s Aunt made a wonderful woman and all the men fell in love with him. He was pro- posed to twice by two very interesting men. Then comes the climax when the real aunt and the girl with whom Fancourt Babberly is in love arrive. The play ends with everything turning out all right and everyone (except Spettigue) happy . The characters all showed talent as actors, and impersonated their parts very well. The cast was as follows: Col.

M [ Page 123 ] [ Page 124 ] rroiXMUT Weston Makes a Discovery We really knew little of Mr. Adams. I rememb er that he came to Weston with no announcement, sought the little white house and the beautiful garden at the foot of Hill Street; and then, proceeded to exclude himself from the rest of the world as much as possible. And, considering the fact that this is a day of co-operation and reliance on the other fellow, I think he succeeded very well. He was about my age when he first came to Weston, twenty years ago, but while we other young fellows were playing tennis and golf, driving our Dad ' s big cars around to exclusive clubs, worrying about which girl we should take to the Alumni Prom next spring, Mr. Adams — for such we called him, in spite of our similitude of ages and our college fraternity-bred habit of dropping formal titles and sometimes substituting outrageous nick-names, — lived a her- mit ' s life in the little house. At first, we were rather interested in him, for we recognized him as the figure of an athlete. He had a high intelligent forehead, and, as Polly remarked, was certainly good-looking — which remark coming as it did, from Polly, made us almost hate him for a while. Then, somehow, when our mothers began to raise their eyebrows ever so slightly when his name was mentioned, when the little house grew shabby and in need of paint, and when the beautiful garden grew weedy and neglected, we gradually lost any interest we had. But Mr. Adams himself was not so easily forgotten. We were his neigh- bors, and I remember I used to become nervous watching him as he paced the little garden, his hands clasped tightly behind. As years went by, his face be- came seamed, as if from worry; his hair grew gray; and he walked with nerv- ous, jerky steps. All this went on while most of us had decided on our life careers. Polly had become my own beautiful wife, and my son Max was a football hero, play- ing tennis and golf during the summer, driving his Dad ' s big car around to ex- clusive clubs, and worrying about which girl he should take to the prom next year. Then, one day, our neighborhood became intensely excited. The mail- carrier had left a letter at Mr. Adams ' house — the first in twenty years. That night Mr. Adams paced the garden walk until long after mid-night, walking very fast. But the next day, he was to be seen nowhere about, and on my way to the office that morning, I saw him emerge from the railroad station, holding a ticket in one hand and an old valise in the other. For nearly a week he was gone and then he returned. I shall never forget the day Mr. Adams returned, bringing with him Anita. I ' ve read in books and stories about girls who were so beautiful that one in- voluntarily turned, on first sight to gaze, speechless; but I never believed it until I saw Anita. She was the most beautiful girl I ' ve ever seen, excepting Polly. And Max ' s main topic of conversation became Anita. Only a week after her arrival, he took her to a football hop . Max al- ways did fall hard, no matter if it was tackling his opponent at football or fall- ing in love. But I believe I was glad when Max fell for Anita. Events progressed in much the same manner as things go on wherever there is a pretty girl and several young fellows. The race was interesting to watch until Max began to stay at Anita ' s until late, and slump in his studies. Then I became worried. Then Uncle Peter began to assert himself. He objected to Anita ' s ne- glecting him, she said. Mr. Adams, the hermit and mystery man of Weston, [ Paso 12C ] i was objecting to his niece ' s neglecting him! It was then we decided that he was really human. He remodeled the little house, ordered expert gardeners to replant the once-beautiful garden and make the lawn like velvet. But we received our first impressions of the real Mr. Adams the night Anita gave her first party in Weston. Polly and I were invited and we went, prompted not a little, I confess, by curiosity. We learned there that he was remarkably well-read, that he was a wonderful conversationalist and actually charming. This little party was only the first of many and we began to know him better. We found that he was intensely in love with and loved by his niece. He seemed satisfied to spend hours just watching her as she talked and laughed, as her white hands moved over piano keys, or as she danced. But of his life before he came to Weston or of his ambitions, we never learned. He was strangely silent on this subject, giving us only a hint the night Anita invited young Janquiere to entertain us with violin selections. During the little con- cert, Mr. Adams sat as in a trance and once, half rose from his chair; but he regained his self-control and sank back covering his eyes with his hand. Then Anita announced her engagement to Max. We had known for some time that Max was deeply in love with Anita. But — when one ' s son is about to make a step that will decide his future life, one is very careful. And, after all, what did we know of Anita? What did we know of her family? What did we know of Mr. Adams, except what we had learned in a social way during th e year Anita had lived there? Nothing. However, Polly was very much pleased and her arguments persuaded me that the engagement was satisfactory. Following this, there were the usual teas, dinners and dances. We saw Mr. Adams emerge more and more from his hermitage, during those few weeks. We saw him become very well-liked and well-received among his new friends. And then, as a fitting climax to it all, he gave a party for Anita — a party about which Weston housewives still like to chat together. The party was held in the Weston hotel ballroom and the guests numbered nearly one hundred fifty. There was a fine orchestra and a general spirit of gaiety. Mr. Adams, standing beside Anita in the reception room, seemed al- most picturesque, with his white hair making a perfect frame for his fine fea- ,;i ' i;j And as for Anita — she was a picture of pure joy. The first dance began. I took a seat behind some palms, and soon Mr. Adams joined me. The radiant smile that he had worn so well in receiving his guests had vanished, and in its place was an expression almost stern. He sat staring at the musicians who were playing directly opposite from us. Because I wished to sympathibe with him I watched them too. We saw the leader give his cues, raising his violin ever so slightly. We watched the other musicians, playing as if their very instruments were happy — and behind the palms, Mr. Adams sat, scarcely heeding the dancers. Between the fifth and sixth dances was an intermission of about fifteen minutes. As the guests stood or walked about, laughing and talking, we saw the violinist arrange his music for a solo. Then he raised the instrument to his chin, and we heard the piano begin the opening measures of Drdla ' s Sere- nade . I glanced at Mr. Adams. He had half risen from his chair and a pecu- liar look came into his eyes. I said nothing, because I felt that something beyond my power to prevent was about to happen. As the violinist slid into the second movement, Mr. Adams began to pace before me, with the same jerky steps that had so often characterized his walk- f i M _ d(uO [ Page 127 ] ing in the garden. This time, I was genuinely alarmed, but when he started across the floor I could not stop him. The guests grew quiet. Mr. Adams reached the piano just as the violinist finished the selection. For only an instant he paused, then took the violin from the leader ' s hands. Very gravely he touched the strings; presently he tucked the instrument under his chin and began to play. I felt a queer sensation in my head. I gasped and for some reason, looked at Anita. What I saw there made me gasp anew. There was no fear, amaze- ment, or even surprise upon her face; instead, there was a look almost of tri- umph, certainly of joy. My gaze passed on to Max, and he was smiling. But the guests were astonished and seemed unable to move, much less to think. Meanwhile the man was playing — playing passionately, wildly, then sadly. Faster flew the bow, and his fingers danced as they touched the strings. The love scene from Oberon sang from the instrument telling us of the love in a man ' s heart. Then the melody grew softer, the fingers moved more slowly and the secret of Mr. Adams ' life had been poured out to us. As if realizing only then what had happened, he returned the violin to the leader, who received it, scarcely knowing that he did so. Then, turning to us with a rueful smile, he began in a low voice to speak. My friends, he said, When I came here, several years ago, you knew nothing of me. I did not wish you to know anything of me. I - - well - - I might as well tell you right now, that my name is not Adams. It is Lawrence — Peter Lawrence. He paused. We gasped again. Peter Lawrence — why, he was the famous youthful vio- linist who was reported killed in an accident, many years ago. Was the man crazy? Or was he - - Yes, Peter Lawrence. It was my desire to hide myself from the world — the cruel world, I thought then. At the age of nineteen, while on a concert tour of Europe, I met and fell in love with a beautiful Spanish girl. My par- ents objected to our marriage at that time — reasonably, I see now. But I could not see it thus then. I was bitterly disappointed. On my return to the United States, I came here to Weston, to bury my- self. I succeeded. A few weeks after my arrival here, I read of my death in an accident. It was very simple. Then Anita ' s letter came. She had found me through the secret service. Her father, my brother, had died, and she asked to come to live with me. Of course, I consented, but not until after mucn thought, for I realized that her coming would, sooner or later, mean my return ,q the ' .vorid — my world. Mr. Lawrence, the prodigy of my own generation, and the pet of royal so- cial circles, paused and smiled wistfully. Anita came and put her arm about his shoulders. He looked at her fondly, and added, Yes, it has happened. I shall have to enter my world again. But it isn ' t a cruel world, Anita. Ah, no! It ' s a beautiful world, and the disappointments make the pleasures more won- derful. His hand slipped into his coat pocket, and he took out a letter postmarked Spain , which he had evidently received only that day. As he looked at it, he smiled, and murmured, Ah, it ' s a beautiful world! [ Page 128 ] The South Bend Game I am the football — yes, but I am not like other footballs; I ' m a little bit prejudiced. You know, some footballs are just pieces of leather sewn together, but not I. When the first whistle blew that Saturday afternoon we played South Bend, and when Dean Brady kicked me, I sure felt fine as I went sailing through the air. There ' s nothing we footballs like better than a good, swift, kick — and it doesn ' t hurt us. Well, some South Bend fellow picked me up and thought he ' d start for the goal; in fact, he did start, but he didn ' t get very far before he got spilled right on top me! Ugh! But we footballs are tough, you know, and the game progressed while the grandstands swayed with yells and emotion. I think however, that Mishawaka yelled the most. Once, during a time-out period, I looked up to compare the crowds. Misha- waka had many more people than South Bend did; but, I didn ' t have much time for looking or gazing around, for the two teams were in action again. You know, I never felt very well when that fellow Burdick, of South Bend took me and started for an end run or an off-tackle play. But I noticed that Mishawaka got me on downs, Doyle took me in his arms, and boy! how he did go! And I just says to myself, This Doyle will be a regular Grange if he keeps it up. ' He ' d get to going his best every time, and when that guy is going like that to try to tackle him is like trying to tackle an alligator, or the north wind. Then, once, the game had to stop and they found that Doyle was hurt, but even while the crowd was yelling madly at him, he snapped out of it and came right back for more. Well, the first quarter came and went in this manner, and the second began. Then I commenced to feel pretty fine, because I saw Lindzy, the greatest cap- tain in the world, I guess, step back for a place-kick. Arby gave a snappy toss backwards, the captain took me, and gave me the greatest kick I ever got — a perfect kick right over the goal posts. M. H. S. 3, S. B. H. S. O. The game went on, each side trying to get possession of me, and if I do say so, myself, I was pretty popular and valuable fellow that day. Then, in the final quarter, Mishawaka cinched the game by sending me over the line in Doyle ' s arms, and South Bend knew their goose was cooked . On desperate attempts they tried forward passes, one after another, throw- ing me wildly all over the field, but to no avail. And Mishawaka again won from her old rival, ten to nothing. Well, I guess — Oh, I ' ll have to say goodbye, because they ' re starting to let the air out of me. Joe Canfield, ' 28. The Trial of Student With a rap of his gavel, Judge Caesar brought the courtroom, which was in reality a locker in M. H. S., to order. The first case on the docket, your Honor, is that of Miss English Book vs. Student, said the orderly, a pencil. Miss English Book rose mournfully from her chair, and dabbing her eyes with a dainty handkerchief, began to recite her tale of woe. Oh, your Honor, she began, I do try to be patient with Student, but — but, she sobbed. When he makes all the corners of my pages look like dog- _J?M 4 [ Page 129 ] ears, and when he writes slurring remarks all over the stories on my pages draws pictures, and — and — . She got no farther, for Mr. Geometry, contrary to all rules which regulate a court-room, jumped hurriedly from his seat in the court-room and shouted scornfully. Is that all she ' s got to complain of? Order! yelled the judge. Is that all she ' s got to complain of? repeated Mr. Geometry. Humph! If that was all that had ever happened to me, you should never hear me com- plaining. But, my dear friends, he said, I have been thrown on the floor in disgust, stuck with points of compasses, openly denounced, before all as the dumbest, most useless study of all. I have been kicked, and once — once, he added in a whisper, Student almost swore at me, but what is worse, I must go forth the rest of my days in shame, for my back is torn asunder, and on my front page are these damning words: Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust, Since Algebra didn ' t kill me, Geometry must. and poor Mr. Geometry sank, exhausted, into his chair, and gave vent to un- suppressed sobs. Even the cold judge was moved to tears at this display of the cruelties of Student, but finally choking back the sobs, he ordered the next case to be brought forth. Miss Biology rose with none of the decrepitness that had marked the rising of her predecessors, and with a rather jaunty air, she took the witness stand. I am beginning to feel a little bit sorry for poor Student, she began. You all seem to ' have it in ' for him. Of course, she added, he hasn ' t treated me as any well-bred gentleman should treat a lady, but one must take into con- sideration how hard Student must sometimes work to comprehend us, before condemning him. As I said before, I haven ' t been handled exactly with kid gloves, and all that is the matter with me is that I ' ve got a young Art Gallery among my pages, a goodly number of smears and blotches and such minor wrongs. But there is one thing that I really dislike, and that is a piece of poetry which Student wrote one day at the beginning of an exceedingly hard lesson. It goes like this: ' Onward, move onward, O, Time, in thy flight And may the bell ring Before I have to recite. ' But maybe the poor dear had reasons for all these things, so I will forgive him, finished Miss Biology. Hardly had she finished her speech and resumed her seat when the angry voice of Judge Caesar thundered out. You would pity him? he cried. Ah, well, you may be glad you have only that to complain of. I tried to restrain myself and suffer my wrongs in silence, but I can no longer do so. I have received from the hands of Student such in- sults as I shall no longer be able to bear. In the first place, on my frontispiece is a picture of myself, and what did Student do? He needs must adorn me with a villainous moustache, bushy whiskers and a horrid pipe. Throughout my pages noble officers, soldiers, warriors and the like are daubbed with such m A_ %_ [ Page 130 ] jfj jro _ !Lfflio names as Snub Pollard, Charlie Chaplin and Robin Hood . Mr. Geometry and Miss Biology complained of a verse. Ah, they have only one, while I have many and the galling one goes like this: ' They are all dead who spoke it, They are all dead who wrote it, They will all die who learn it, Blessed Death! They earn it. ' Between my lines are crowded the English translations, but what is worse, here the poor man broke down and cried, What ' s worse, is that often I ' ve been crowded in beside a ' pony ' ! Ah, me, such is life! The good judge had much more to say, but his pitiful story had completely melted the hearts of his hearers, and the weeping and wailing grew so loud that the judge ' s voice could not be heard in the confusion. Sadness reigned, and so great was the din that the judge forgot to pronounce a sentence on Student. Then, suddenly, a queer noise was heard on the outside. Student was work- ing his combination. Quickly the chaos inside was stilled and when Student opened his locker he saw the books, just as he had left them, stacked upon one another. —Emily Blanford, ' 28. Spring The Spring is here! Bright days have come, And dreary Winter ' s gone his lonesome way. The days are warm; the sun shines bright, And to us now has come delightful May. The bluebird calls; the warbler sings, And every bird is busy at his nest. The lilac blooms; the buds peep out, The world in gayest colors now is dressed. The gardens glow; the cardinal And oriole flash colors bright as flame. The peach blooms pink; the apple white, And even weeping willow bursts in bloom. Paul Culp, ' 27 Ruminations in Geometry Class The tangents flutter all about. The scarlet secants sing; The budding polygons are pink; The spheres are on the wing. The propositions roam the woods, The cosines fill the air With music sweet; the hexagons Are blooming everywhere. The octagon sits on her nest. To keep the prism safe And warm, until it hatches out The quadrilateral waif Oh, Spring is here, and love is warm; The cooing angles mate. The quadrant to the vertex sings, And rhombuses rotate. Paul Culp, ' 27. BL_ Whh _ M [ Page 131 ] . nKj The Fatal Dream I am known for my dreaming. Everyone in my town knows me as the dreamer . I can always dream best when I ride into the country on my bicycle, which becomes for me a galloping steed. One day, while galloping toward a far distant castle, I passed through a wood. A wood, did I say? I meant a forest. The trees in this forest were of a beautiful green, and flowers grew about their bases like guards stationed about a prisoner. Through the interlocked branches above, a shaft of green sun- light shown, making the flowers shine in a sort of brilliance. I felt a spirit of adventure, as I passed through this forest, mounted on my prancing steed. My trusty sword was hung about the neck of my horse, while my spear I held in one hand. My other hand was busily engaged in rolling a cigarette, and several cigars could be seen in my pocket of mail. I was jogging along unconcernedly when, in the distance, I saw someone running toward me. Unslinging my binoculars, I put them to my eyes, and saw that it was a woman. From what or whom was she running, or for whom? The answer came quickly enough. Quick, run for help! she cried, while she was still some yards from me. Keeping my calmness, as I am only calm when women are about, I said, Take your time, my dear damsel, I am in no hurry. My father ' s castle is beseiged by robbers. Go to Arlington Castle and get aid, she gave the last very excitedly in tone of an order. But why not cable them to send aid? I asked, still very calm. They have cut all the wires! After saying this, she fell to the ground. Quickly coming to her aid, I revived her, then swung myself upon my horse, Bessie. Taking out my book of addresses, I saw that Arlington Castle was three hundred forty-nine miles from where I was then. Patting Bessie on the neck, I said, Now old girl, do your duty, we stand, divided we fall. I shall unite the forces. United Turning Bessie around on her hind legs, I tore for Arlington Castle. The forest passed us in our wild flight. Here we passed two houses that looked like flowers along the wayside. Looking slightly to one side, I saw a well filled with water quickly pulling Bessie up on her haunches, I I found we had already left the well far behind us. We galloped forth again. When we were about halfway to Arlington Castle, we saw a flock of sheep that looked like a gray cloud floating by. Then, when we had nearly reached the two hundred mile mark, Bessie began to fail me. Thinking about the poor people fighting back there, I gritted my teeth and swore revenge on the fellow who invented fighting. Oh, how I wished for a Ford, or any car to carry me to Arlington Castle. Sticking my spurs into Bessie made her tear more madly down the road. The miles flicked by, and we passed another sign-post — forty nine miles more. Heartened by then, I took a swig from my canteen. It was the last drop. Then I continued my mad rush. Trees here and there looked like stripes on a convict ' s suit. Coming up to the top of a hill so fast that I thought it was a precipice, I saw Arlington at the foot. I put the brakes on Bessie and we coasted down the hill on four legs. But every hero and heroine f .m _ iffl jam. [ Page 132 ] has to hit something; and Bessie stumbled as she galloped into the castle. I lit on my head, but told the soldier the trouble before I lost consciousness. Madly I struck out in a side stroke, and found the village constable pouring water into my face. Here, my good lad, said the policeman, Who did you say needed help? Then I sat up, and saw my bicycle smashed beside the road. Ha! The dreamer! The constable recognized me and immediately left. I gathered myself up and looked to see what had caused my downfall. It was a small pebble in the middle of the road. Then, with my face bloody and my clothes torn, I swore off dreaming. Herman Cohen, ' 26. My Views of Florida My wisdom teeth I think I ' ve cut; I ' m wiser every day; No more for me a Paradise Two thousand miles away. I ' ve hiked me back to Indiana; Give me your hottest roast, I ' ll take the worst that you can hand But not the Florida coast. I don ' t like snakes and flowers mixed Or seas that sigh and moan, That every night bring on a fog, That chills me to the bone. So I ' ve hiked me back to Indiana And here in plenty find The comforts that I sought so far But surely left behind. Indiana, gem of all the States, Take back your weary child; I ' ll never roam again among The land sharks fierce and wild. So I ' ve hiked me back to Indiana; You may joke me if you will, But of sand spurs, gnats, and ants I think I ' ve had my fill. They boast about their ' gator lakes, The glory of their seas, But, oh, preserve me from their pests, Mosquitoes great, and fleas. Of ponds and ditches there ' s enough And frogs that croak and peep, Till I have to keep my window closed To get a wink of sleep So I ' ve hiked me back to Indiana; My heart and feet are sore As now I ' ve reached this favored spot, I think I ' ll roam no more. % , J ' ■k_ 4 MK_ [ Page 133 ] Br-r-ring! ! It was the last bell. The hands of the clock on the tower pointed to 8:40. Inside the school, the pupils began their studies for the day. Outside, all was quiet and deserted, except for an occasional passing car on the street. But, wait! — not quite all deserted, for, coming up the sidewalk toward the school at an almost charging rate of speed, was a tall figure, well recognized at M. H. S. He wore no hat, and as he ran, his hair lifted in the wind. With one jump, he cleared the steps at the entrance, jerked open the door and entered the building. He was at his locker in a moment, twirled his com- bination and grabbed a book. Hastily, he gave a final bang to his locker door and then started down the almost deserted hall. On his face was a look of de- termination mingled with defeated attempt. As he neared the office, he slack- ened his pace, straightened his tie and ran his fingers through his hair. Slowly, he entered the office. Mr. Cauble stood there, several pink slips in one hand, a punch in the other. He looked at the late-comer. Why, good-morning, Arby, he said cordially, Late? Yes, sir, replied Arby. And for no good reason at all. Oh, that ' s all right, Mr. Cauble answered, Here ' s a pink slip to admit you to class. No, you won ' t have any time to make up. This is only the third time this week. But this is only a fairy story, after all - - - -. Christmas Once there was a great big boy Who lived across the way, He wouldn ' t study English; He always wanted to play. He hated verbs and pronouns And conjugations, too, Just tinker with a radio Was all that he could do. And so, just before Christmas, When his modest note was read, Old Santa Claus just laughed and laughed, For this is what it said: Deer Sante I wood like to have A radio and an gun An bicycle an a wagon A watch that surely ' ll run A been shooter ana- - No, I said that befour And a great big windey football An ' candy an ' nuts galore And I think that ' s bout all So I guess I will cloos Unless you send a ball and bat Your sincearely customer, Mose And so, on Christmas morn Mose jumped up to take a look, And in his sock what do you think He found? An English Book! M-r- MH_ ' [ Page 134 ] ■r- jiu — To Mishawaka High School M. H. S.! Can we leave you Next June, at Graduation? Can we leave Your beautiful buildings, Your basketball teams You?

It is doing the right thing without being told, but next to doing the right thing without being told, is do it when you arc told once. Next, there are those who never do a thng until they are told twice, such get no honors and small pay. Next, there are those who do the right thing only when necessity kicks them from behind, and they get indifference instead of honors and a pittance for pay. This kind spends most of its time polishing a bench with hard luck stories. Then still lower down in the scale than this, we have the fellow who will not do the right thing even when some one goes along and stays to see that he does it.
