Sa. 192621927 y The publishing of this annual, a book full of memories of old M. H. S., marks the passing of another school year, and we feel that it also marks an advancement in the jour- nalistic history of the school. The progress made along all lines has been great. In athletics, our team, the team we all backed to the limit, won the sectional tournament and made a splendid showing in the regional. In dramatics and commercial work there has been great improvement. Then. too, the Juniors say that this year Will long be re- membered for its Junior-Senior Banquet. Lastly, we must mention that this year marks the graduation of, we think, the best class, although not the largest, in the annals of M. H. S. But you be the judge! who ilaarrison Township Eloint Iaigb School The greatest dcvelopment made in the educational field in Har- rison Township was when the Joint High School Building was erected. School opened in this building in the fall of 1923. Prior to this time all arrangements had been made for the enrollment and for transporting the country pupils. The building is used for the Junior High as well as the Senior High School. The total attend- ance is now 296. All of the indoor athletic games, the class plays, and various meetings of interest to the community are held in the splendidly arranged combination auditorium and gymnasium of this building. 011132 illllain btreet Scbnnl Quilting ln lS7l a two room school building was erected on Main Street. lt was the lirst graded school of the town and had a term that lasted but three months beginning in December. Mr. Hiram Hammer was the hrst principal and Miss Margaret Kimball assistant teacher. W'hen the town was incorporated the Board planned a new school house, so in 1379. at the cost of 53.000, a new building was erected on Main street. The attendance was about ZOO pupils, but it increased so rapidly that a new addition with two rooms was added to the old building. This addition was torn down a few years ago be- cause it was considered unsafe. The original four rooms are now used as a garage for the school busses and for the storage of school supplies. ln l903 the high school was erected on the corner of Main and Monroe and was used for high school purposes until the completion of the 'loint High School Building. This building is now used for the hrst four grades. ibuntingtun btrzet Qnbuul iguilhing The Huntington Street Building, which was erected in 1395, was used for a high school building at first, In 1399 the attendance of both the high school and the Main Street Building was 851 pupils. Although the school was not built for a high school, this was the most convenient way of having school at that time. Later a high school was built on Main street, and Huntington was used for the grade pupils. Since the building of the Harrison 'Township joint High School, the Huntington Building has been used for the lst to 7B grades, for all pupils from both city and country. The fifth and sixth grades are organized along departmental lines. QEITUB1' nf Hunks Bank I. The School jfacultp Seninrs Suniurs ant ilkinher Qtlasszs Bunk II.

The new members were given a warm welcome and were given ample opportunities to show off their accomplishments. So enjoyable a time did they have that the list of faculty committees next week included a faculty social committee, which included Miss Draher, chairmang I. W. Wilson and Miss Plantz. - This committee immediately grew busy and decided to enliven the faculty meetings. Having heard that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, they surprised this intellectual body at one of its assemblies by serving most toothsome doughnuts and most fragrant coffee. They do tell it that some ate more than one of the sugary sweets, and drank more than one cup of the beverage. Not to be outdone in gallantry, Mr. Buroker at the next meeting served berry pie and Eskimo pie. On December fifteenth a dinner party was held at the school cafeteria, At each plate were dolls of blue and gold wearing a little verse appropriate to the guest. All the teachers seemed to have very nice table manners ex- cept Mr. Brown and Mr. Ausherman. Mr. Brown very rudely blew Mr. Ausherman's doll into his soup, and seeing the trail of blue that was left was too much for Mr. Ausherman. He doesn't know whether the soup was good or not. George Shull paid a visit that night in the mortal form of Santa fl 1 YJ - an 1 STAFQ 2991 Wk, g. A351 N ' f, . .4 A, ,iw Q' 4 x. .Pr-. .,.k. .5 -,uh ,l . 'fl' . 'ft . f . 'UW sf,-.

The teachers have always appreciated the efforts of the basketball boys, ,K i v but even more so this year, for they were also included in the lovely' dinner ' l Q, given by Mr. and Mrs. Park for the team. . V During the winter a party had been planned at Rainbow Inn, but on g , account of the extremely icy weather, it had to be called off. This will probably be held some time this spring. It's always fair weather VVhen good teachers get together. r ff . . W l Q M C:-NA L I. xxx A V r g -it nl ,fig Wm V X K , ii wff bw .

Ullri kappa ilaigb Grains Zltnarh Scholarship work is the chief interest of the state organization of Tri Kappa, and various projects are undertaken for the encouragement of in- terest in both high school and college work. The Gamma Beta Chapter of Tri Kappa. Montpelier, this year decided to ohfer rewards to the students of the local high school, to recognize and encourage scholastic ability and attainment. The sorority will give a five- dollar-gold-piecc to the boy and the same amount to the girl who receive the highest grades for the four-years' high school course. The names of the boy and the girl having the best scholastic record will be announced on Commencement night and the awards made at that time. To be eligible for the prize, the student must have had all his four years' work in the high school of this city. l 1. . y K , N ' 1871 so 1871 ff JN 'H fm 1 I A -, I Q Jkt Xxx 1 'fE?71'j .rggzf I fini: gm' . gi!-fx vfxzq' , fi' 9 .1-f b.-io J N I Lf, R . -Regt g,. if 5- ,1 -3 - vxiaf- Xt'-eil R i i: ffl, 1?- 1 i I -Xl? , iv ., ,A , 'rf J- hx Q w D . .4 fin lyfi 1 -1- .w,.,.,rf,fw'.'xx'.. gf ' - ' . , ' ,..q7vfsiswr1giy , , - -Q 15 - . .

VVe stood in awe of the Seniors, but this soon wore off when we set up our tin gods of that group. Our only class activity was a Hallowe'en party, which was an eminent success. 'As Sophomores we resolved to add honors to our list. Consequently, several of our members went in for athletics, band, and orchestra, where many of them won names for themselves and the class. The class officers of that year were: Virginia Kershner, re-elected presidentg Eldon Park, vicevpresidentg Orval Holdren, secretary, Evelyn Buffenbarger, treasurer, faculty advisor, Miss M. Shade, class advisors, George W'harton and Pauline NVood. The class colors were black and white. There was a total of forty- eight students in the Sophomore year. , In our role of juniors we attained still greater heights. By the co- operation of the whole class we were able to establish a school tradition, the annual carnival. In this we realized a neat proht. On November eighteenth our class play, The Hottentotf' was presented in the High School Auditor- ium. It was reputed to be the finest play of its kind ever given by any class of M. H. S., and the house was almost entirely sold out. Many com- pliments were bestowed upon the cast and upon Miss George, who di- rected it. The junior Class of M. H. S. for the first time in the history of the school published a real paper. Several classes had published a small sec- tion in the Herald at regular intervals but had never had the oportunity of having their own publication. ' At last the Junior Banquet had come! The gymnasium was magically converted- into a miniature woodland garden. The floor lamps cast a red, gold and mauve halo over the gala scene. An orchestra from Van Buren furnished a splendid program. A delicious dinner was served by the rose girls of the Sophomore class. . The delightful evening was brought to a close by a short talk from Mr. VV. VVilson who was chosen toastmaster. The following officers were elected for the junior year: George Shull, presidentg Vera Kegerris, vice-presidentg secretary, Charles Ray, treasurer, Margie Cummins. jane Hoy and Eldon Parks were class advisors. Mr. Buroker, faculty advisor. Two members, Lova Henderson and Maxwell Hardin, were added, making a total of thirty-two students in the Junior class. At last came the Senior year, the greatest and the most successful year of all. At our first meeting the following officers were elected: George Shull, re-elected presidentg Jane Hoy, vice president, Edward Marsland, secretary-treasurer, George Wharton and Elizabeth Henderson, class acl- 'visorsg Mr. L. E. Kelly, faculty advisor. Two new students, Beverly and VVellman Munsey, were added to our roll. This makes a total of thirty-three students in the Senior year. ' The Juniors are already making their plans for the Junior-Senior Re- ception which will be held in the gymnasium on May 20. XVe are also look- ing forward to our last play and to that solemn occasion, Baccalaureate, which will be held May 22 in the school auditorium. And, last, but not least, will be the formal commencing of our lives, our graduation, on the evening of May 26, 1927. Class Colors ,,..,,..,,,.,.,,.,.,,,................

At the first class meeting the following officers were elected: Dorothea McDonald, president, Edward Johnson, vice-president, Sylvia Sark, secretary-treasurerg Zonda Rapp and Garth Vernor, class advisors. Mr. Brumfiel was our faculty advisor. In order to raise money for our class picture in the annual, the class gave a benefit show at the Palace Theater. It proved to be a great success. The only social event of the year was a Christmas party, which was held in the sewing room of the high school building. As Sophomores we entered with the honor of being larger than any other class in the Senior high schoolg therefore we decided to make our- selves known in social and athletic activities as well. VVe are assured that we accomplished this, because many of our members were active in athletics, band. and orchestra, and also the operetta which was put on here. The social event of the year was a Christmas party, which was a success in every way. The officers elected this year were: Jesse Kelley, president, Edna McDonald, vice president, Basil Miniear, secretary-treasurer, Aileen Risk and Thurman Brown, class advisors. Mr. Edda G. Brown was faculty ad- visor. The total membership was fifty-eight. Vlfe feel as if we have accomplished much more this year as Juniors, but we are hoping to assume greater undertakings and do much more next year when our time will have come to be masters of the school. The out- standing event of this year, though we are anticipating that the Junior- Senior reception to be even greater, was the Junior Class play, Bab,,' which was an eminent success. The proceeds of the play will Hnance the Junior-Senior reception. The only social event was a party held during February. Mr. Buroker was class advisor and worked tirelessly for the best interest of the class. The following officers were elected: Horace Melton, president, Olive Fitch, vice-president, Harold Figley, sec- retary-treasurerg Dorothea McDonald and Basil Miniear, class advisors. The Juniors were very busy with the school paper, Hhe Crier, which they edited and published this year. It is quite an undertaking to issue a paper every week and the class feels proud of the results of this year's Crier, , . la . NJ ' 'FMT S ' ,ff . we' '-.

This class was more or less divided that year with one group, the Freshmen, having Mr. W. Wilson, 'for faculty'advisor and with the 8A Freshmen having Mrs. Taylor as advisor. The Freshmen organized with Nellie Marie Crabill as presidentj Russel Crisamore as secretary-treasurer. The other group elected Violet Peterson, president, and Thelma Manuels as secretary-treasurer. That year we en- joyed a sliding party at Bonham's hill, a hamburger fry, and a picnic. Perhaps the biggest enterprise of the class last year was the ,presenta- tion of three one-act plays entitled, just Like a XVoman, VVho's the Boss P and Why Lie About it?', Mrs. Taylor was director. This program with vaudeville between acts was presented to a full house with splendid success on February 26. The purpose of this entertainment was to pay for'the,Freshmanpictures in the annauai. After the expense was met the class realized aprotit of S47.76, which was put in a certificate of deposit. The SA Freshmen gave a one-act play at convocation entitled, The Adop- tion of Bob, under the direction of Mrs. Taylor. W'e also edited the Crier with success, for one week, with Virginia Ray as editor. The fall of our Sophomore year we organized with sixty-two members, which is, we are proud to say, the largest class in both Junior and Senior High School. Mr. Brown is our class advisor. One of our most prominent members, Barrington Martz, moved to Liberty Center and the class has missed him greatly. VVe elected Madge Noller president, Joe Murray, vice- presidentg Harry Cochran, secretary-treasurer, and Glenn Schwarzkoph and Clara Gaskill as class advisors. The first event this year in our history was the Sophomore'Carnival. The halls were decorated with the Sophomore and high school colors and lined with booths. The king and queen of '26-27 were elected here, the queen from the Sophomore class, Virginia Ray, and the king, a Senior, Paul Branstrom. The seventh and eighth grades and Freshmen each owned a booth that they might obtain the money for their pictures in the Annual. - ' We held a class party in October at the school building. We also had a. sledding party at Bonham's Hill. Some members of our class had parts in the dramatic Club play and several took part in the chorus. Berniece Hardacre and Virginia Ray represented the Sophomore Class in the Caesar contest held at Wabash this year. VVe also published one edition of the Crier. , It can be seen by glancing at the basket-ball line-up that our class is fully represented there this year and more good material is coming in both boys and girls. A large number of Sophomores are in the Dramatic, Boost- er, Domestic Scienqe, Hi-Y, and Commercial Clubs, J f . .

Of all the outside activities in High School, basketball is the most popular, and then in turn the tourney is the climax of basketball itself. The games during the season seem to be fast and hard-fought, but they are seldom as good, really, as the tourney games, for then all the players are inspired by the great excitement of the time, and they put forth an almost superhuman effort to xvin and, if lose they must, to do it hght- ing to the last second. VVe have been very fortunate in that we have had two tourneys within the last three years, the first held in the new M. H. S. gymnasium in 1924. That tourney was a complete success in a financial as well as athletic way. One thing that received especial com- mendation was the efficient and courteous management of the entire tourna- mnet, and this thing probably caused us to get this year's tournament here. After four hard battles the Pacers came from the fray with the Blue and Gold still waving. Though they were not picked to win, yet they fully deserved the victory that they won, since they had to play four games, while no other team played more than two. Except for a few minutes . X.

The 'libres Bears P The operetta, The Three Bears, was given March twentyhrst by the pupils of the Main Street grade building. The operetta began with Peggy. or Curly Locks, playing with three teddy bears and wondering if there are any real fairies. While she waits for the luncheon bell, she hears a street piano and goes to the window to look for it, while waiting for it to ap- proach she falls asleep and dreams that the bears have come to life with myriads of fairies. These fairies were costumed to represent Daisies, Clov- ers, Spoons, Dishes, Buttons, Crochet Hook, Knitting Needles, Stars and Crescents. After the opening chorusithe scene changes to the home of the three bears. The three bears are about to have dinner but the porridge is so hot they can't eat it, so they go out to look for something else to eat. While they girei gpne. Peggy comes in and tastes the porridge to see Whether- or not it is good. The largest bear's porridge is too hot, the middle bear's too cold, but the little bear's is just right. Peggy sits down in the little bear's chair and eats all of the little bear's porridge. While sitting there she hears the bears approaching and in hurrying to get away breaks the little bear's chair. The bears return at the beginning of Act HI and after much wonder- ment as to the condition of their house they' find Peggy asleep in the little bear's bed. They decide that Peggy shall stay with them, but the scene changes again to Peggy's home as she awakens just as the luncheon bell rings. The parts of the three bears were taken by Mary Annette Riggs, Naomi Antle, and Joseph Salyer, and Helen Irwin was the little Peggy. The pro- duction Was directed by the Misses Hoffman, Farr, and Strait, teachers of the Main Street Building, and Mr. Ausherman, music supervisor. The songs, dances, and costumes as well as the story and the speaking parts all helped to make one of the most successful grade operettas given here. U NATIONAL MUSIC VVEEK National Music Week, the first week in Mav, will be celebrated here with a series of programs presented to the public in the High School Audi- torium under the direction of Mr. Ausherman, supervisor of music. The first night's program will consist of an orchestra concert 'given by the high school orchestra, with the assistance of several soloists. The grade schools will give the second program, using songs which they have been studying during the school year. The third program will be a concert by the high school band. if 1 f' . :QI f 'iid A--rx' ' :-I J-' :',,xW ffvl pi.: X i ilk' X , .' . , vi, -4 ij . y '- ' l at :M . ,.,.,' -- - .1 'JI .I'Ql i .IM xi' 1 i ..

This comedy was given on George XYashington,s Birthday, and it carried out very well the idea of the day, as the play revolves about a young man who makes a bet that he can, like the famous George, tell nothing but the truth-but only for twenty- four hours. George XYilt and Yiolet Peterson, the leading characters, played their parts in a convincing manner that showed the results of a great deal of hard work, and they received much favorable comment. Brooks Morris and Ruth Huddlestun took the parts of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Ralston, parents of Gwen, the heroine, in a clever and original manner. Two business as- sociates of Mr. Ralston, jesse Kelley as the villainous Clarence Van Dusen, and Horton Dodds as dapper Dick Donnelly, supplied many of the comedy situations. The Bishop, Robert Simons, used his powerful voice to good advantage as the mercenary Bishop Doran. Zonda Rapp, who was the guest at the Ralstons, interpreted her part splendidly. Lova Henderson and Ruth Trussel as gold-digging chorus girls, Mable and Sable, created interest on their every appearance, and Lova's second-act monologue was truly a work of art. Caroline Henderson was the pretty little maid. Margaret li. George, who directed this fine performance, and the as- sistant director, Mrs. J. Taylor, are largely responsible for its great success. The vaudeville between the two acts, under the supervision of Miss Draher, consisting of a minuet and a military drill, was very good in every way. Music by the M. H. S. Orchestra, directed by Mr. Paul Ausherman, was also splendid. The play centers around the action of Robert Bennett who wagers that he can tell the truth for twenty-four hours. He has bet with his Hancee's money to double the amount for her contribution to the church. Many of the comic situations are obtained when his fellow business associates test him on telling the truth. Finally the hours creep by until at last twenty-four have passed. Then Bob Bennett clears up the tangled affair by telling several of those convenient little white lies. I rf' Xa K , fl , . . 493' . ,. 1 :,:6g.k lI -,sf J- X 1 1 ' X N 1-23, , 1,11 K 5. . , : 'i!

The sponsors for the year 1920-27 were Miss George, Miss Nel- . son, and Mrs. Taylor. The last year's members were accepted without try- '-, outs. A date was set for the try-outs of the new members and a number ffl were taken in. I4 1 at The officers chosen for the year were: lresident, -lesse Kelley: vice- : president, Ruth Trussel: secretary-treasurer, Kathryn Krauss. The Con- stitution. of last year was adopted, and the fees set at a low price. Their first activity was a pep session held in December, Zlllfl they surely put one i over on the teachers.

' - The next undertaking of the Dramatic Club was a three-act play, Noth- ing But The Truth, presented on XVashington's Birthday. Miss George and Mrs. Taylor, the directors, and the east, which is named on another page in the book, worked hard and were highly complimented on the play. As a whole this year's undertakings have been the most successful in the history of the Dramatic Club. Ip .J C511 4 .

N 7 335113 On October hfteenth, Balm, a four-act comedy by Mary Roberts Rine- hart, was presented by the junior Class under the direction of Margaret tieorge. The play itself is a very clever, youthful comedy, and the cast was especially well suited to it. Catherine Cloud, as Bab, interpreted the out- standing and undoubtedly most difficult role in a remarkably clever and charming manner, and Edgar Huggins, playing opposite Bah as Carter Brooks, her protective lover, indulgent of her whims, was splendid. Kath- ryn Krauss and Frank johnson, as the parents of Bah, portrayed their diffi- cult parts in a very pleasant manner. The characters of Clinton Beresford and tiny Grosvenor were played by Dale Smith and Brooks Morris in a fine brisk style. Olive Fitch was the pretty, highly spoiled older sister of Bab. Harold Figley and Zonda Rapp, as Eddie Perkins and Jane Raleigh, brought out their parts with great humor and ability, supplying much of the comedy of the play. The minor parts, Edna McDonald as Hannah, the maid, and Basil Minear as XYilliam, the butler, were played quite cleverly. The vaudeville between acts, featuring Dorthea McDonald, Horace Mel- ton. and Charles Buckmaster, and a chorus of girls from the junior Class was cleverly directed by Miss Draher. The acts were well worked out and attractively costumed. The -lunior class showed splendid ability in this line, and the whole per- formance vividly portraycd the very zest of youth. Much favorable comment was aroused by the production, which was one of the Finest ever given in this high school. 'l'he proceeds of the play will finance the Junior-Senior Ban- quet given in the spring. 'Je 1871 21 if ---, 1 71 I in .l 3. .

Percy Abbot at that time entertained us with his Mysteries of the Orient. Mr. Abbot is known internationally as Aus- tralia's Greatest Mystic, bringing with him rare magic of the far and oriental east, from Japan, China, India, Egypt, Java, Korea, Arabia and Australia. The affair proved to be a huge success financially for the annual, as they realized a profit of about sixty dollars. So clever and interesting is Mr. Abbot in presenting these miracles of the far east that he has had the dis- tinction of performing innumerable times before royalty. fltunhnnatiuns Our first convocation for the year 1926-1927 began on September eleventh. This convocation was held for the purpose of introducing our new teachers who are Miss Plantz, Miss Rice, and Mr. Ausherman. The second 'convocation followed on September twenty-seventh when Rev. Mr. Antle, of the Methodist Church, gave a splendid address to the pupils. On November eleventh, Mr. Robert Bonham came over from Hartford City and gave us a talk concerning patriotism that was in keeping with the day, Armistice Day. Mr. Bonham was a world war veteran and proved to be a delightful entertainer. Some of our citizens came to school on December third and gave splen- did talks. This meeting was in the nature of a pep session and a prepara- tion for the Bluffton game. The speakers of the afternoon included Mrs. Thornburg, Dr. Shadday, Mr. Wfalker, and Mr. Shadle. I Indiana Day was observed on December seventeenth. The history of Indiana was given from the time its inhabitants were the Indians up until the present day. The program was presented by the American History Class. On December twenty-third our annual Christmas program was pre- sented. The entertainment was opened with a selection by the High School Orchestra which was followed by an interesting talk by Rev. Mr. Salyer. The classes from the different buildings took part. A very clever one-act play was presented entitled Neighbors The Municipal Davenport was a feature event of the convocation held February fourth. The participants in this playlet were Harold Figley, and Dorthea McDonald. Following the playlet a medicine show was held which caused much laughter. The medicine show members were George Shull, Robert Simons, VVayne NValker, Frank Johnson, and Edward Marsland. As a result of Clean Up week a convocation was held on November thirteenth and a report was given of the important facts concerning the clean-up spirit. This was given under the auspices of the Student Council and each of its members expressed their appreciation for the co-operation put forth by the student body. The Seniors have been planning a clever convocation. to be given some time in April. They promise forty minutes of sheer foolishness. 1 , V,-I - l, J pu my Ol: , . I s-,PQ 11-Q. .,.

Crier started as a real factor in the school when it was first published by thc Junior Class of ,26. lle, the junior Class of '27, are among the many who are helping lvuildithe foundation for a bigger. better, and greater school paper. The junior Classesl of coming years will be added to the list of those who are helping execute the plans of the first staff. s The aim of the Crier is to promote literary interest and perfect ideas of journalism. lt also endeavors to increase school spirit to the best of its ability and to produce individual interest in school activities. The paper, which is published every week, consists of Sports. 'lokes Department, Exchange, Society, and many other features. Of course you can not and should not expect our work to be perfect, but we think our intentions are justifiable, and we are trying to live up to them.

The first meeting of the Student Council this year was devoted to elect- ing the following officers: iilen Schwarzlcopf. president: Careen Smtih. sec- retaryg Basil lllinear, special correspondent. 'llhis year the Council brought out an entirely new idea in the form of f'Cleanliness XfYeek. One whole week was designated as Cleanliness Week and a general and complete house cleaning took place, The entire building from the furnace room to the roof, the school grounds, and the general ap- pearance of the students themselves, were inspected and censored for neglect of proper cleanliness, The purpose of this drive was to instigate cleanliness at all times and also to get an accurate idea of the condition of the school. Many minor problems have come up and been settled and several are pending at the present time. llrobably the most troublesome question at the present is that of traffic in the corridors. The crowding and jamming was especially inconvenient during the smallpox epidemic when nearly one hundred per cent of the students were vaccinated. Several new plans are now being discussed and it is hoped that a suitable remedy will be found. ,Xs yet the true importance of the Student Council has hardly been - 't recognized by the majority of the students. Now that it has passed the experimental stage, it will soon take its proper place among the more im- portant institutions of the school. . 87 4,:f9,,, . 187 f ,ggink 'I .Q S' rl ,n i X ..

The club was or- ! ganized this year to get behind anything old M. H. S. should do and put ' it over big. They backed the Pacers, of course, and were the leaders in the ' support of the student bodyigave the teams. All the members are live wire K individuals and cannot ifail to appreciate the good work the Pacers have , done this year. y i The following officers were electedn Lova Henderson, president, Ruth Trussel, vice-presidentg Harry Cochran, secretary-treasurer. The first undertaking of the club was a magazine sale. The club was divided into three groups: the Pirates, the Buckaneers, and the Sea Dogs. The Pirates won the contest, so the other two groups had to entertain them at a party at the high school. Another party was given the second semester and it was also very successful. more successful than the year before. n A . Mig I vii club throughout the school. The organization has for its regular meetings Thursday night at the , 3' school. On these nights we have a pro ram and a Bible lesson. Harry . g , 'W Cochran and James Poulson have charge of the devotional work. There are various other committees. Charles Ra and Horace Melton are on a pro- : . y . . gram committee and George Shull and Edgar Huggins on a service group. On December 8, 1926, we gave a Dad's and Lacl's banquet. All mem- bers that possibly could came to this and brought their fathers. The male members of the faculty also attended. A very nice dinner was served to those present, after wh-ich musical numbers were given by Eldon Park, Paul Branstrom, Vtfilliam Sinclair, and Horace Melton. After the devotionals were presented the meeting was ended by a word of prayer. The membership of the club is limited to the boys of the three upper classes of the high school. The members of the club this year were: james Poulson, Harry Cochran, Charles Ray, Glenn VVeaver, Eldon Park, Paul Branstrom, Williani Sinclair, Edgar Huggins, Horace Melton, Joe Murray, Jesse Kelley, George Shull, Frank Johnson, Robert Simons, Edward Mars- -4.4 land. flilszifft' ss M1811 C A .L The next undertaking of the club was a pencil sale which was even The Hi-Y Club held its first meeting just after school started.

' This board was organized in 1925, with its purpose the betterment of athletics in the school. Meetings are held every first Thursday in the month, at which time the secretary makes a financial report. -This body makes all rules and regulations pertaining to the players and games: it also sanctions the paying of all bills and passes on all expenditures. This year the appro- priations were increased over last year's. This year we have purchased an electric score board, which was installed at the first of the season. Many new supplies were also bought for the field events to be held this year. The board also passes on all sweater and letter awards. This year the athletic board dealt with one great special problem, the tournament. brhnul Zlctihities Jfinance Qlnmmittze At the beginning of the year 1926-27 a new system was inaugurated to take care of the financial interests relative to the different classes and other school activities. Heretofore each class or activity left the financial phase of its organization to its treasurer, but it is found to be more convenient and efficient to centralize the funds in one treasury. All money collected is deposited with the school treasurer, Mr. Brumfiel. All payments made must be certified by the faculty advisors of the classes or activities. p At this date, April 1, the total receipts from all classes and departments amounts to 35,815.30 Total payments S'p5,327.27. There will be more funds turned in before the year is over and some expenses to be paid from the department making the receiygs approximately 36,100 and expenditures S5,000.

He is a Sophomore in high school and is hailed as the Boy VVonder in horseshoe pitching circles. jimmy started pitching in 1922 and was classed the second best in the county. Slowly and surely he worked himself in greater prominence. He entered state contests every year and won many laurels. 1926 was a great year for Hjimmyi' as he was then crowned champion . rx., s I 1:3 M x . z'- ., T: 1 A' w J' I 'I ,i J., , I 'J N . 'u Q in both men's and boys' divisions of the state. Then he planned on national S laurels. In February he left for Florida and entered the national tourna- ment. In the preliminary Jim went through the twentyrfive games Without a single lose. By doing this he set a new world's record, for never before has any one accomplished this feat of vanquishing champions from all parts of the United States. I A The first day after the preliminaries luck was against him, and he lost ' three gamesg then, coming into his old style form again, he won all the If rest of his games. But with all his brilliant pitching Lady Luck was against him, and he won second place. This is a most unusual accomplishment, .faq when one considers his extreme youth, compared with the ages of his op- QT ponents. fm On his arrival home the High School presented him with a line gift. i Not long afterwards the people of the community presented him with a 1 0' handsome wrist watch and a neat sum of money to be laid away for next I year's trip to the southland, where we hope he will gain the national cham- L , pionship crown.

Of course some students will have to take some work which they do not care for, but that is a deficit which cannot be eliminated. In the lower i i classes diagnostic tests are used to discover each individual's weaknesses 1 and then drills are used to remedy this deficit. Here competition is used, V both of class against class and individual against individual. A total of ap- proximately eighty dollars is expended annually for the drills alone. ,tiff , f This year there are nine classes in mathematics being conducted daily ily, ',.' Qi 1 with a total enrollment of one hundred ninetyseight pupils. Cf this number N there are eighty-eight Senior high students and one hundred ten junior g g high students. 5-,'.,'?i i Cf these one hundred ninety-eight students who are learning something HH about the various branches of Mathematics, only a few will ever remember ,Q-2 lf H enough to make their time spent thus, worth while. On the other hand F most of them will remember the book, the place in that book, and after :ffl . that, a little study will bring the method back to them as clear as it was - when it was first learned. TQ'LLQ1?.1,' , r:if'f:15a,s iinhustmal Qrts Eepartment W Industrial Arts in the last few years has taken its place in the curri- iv. culum on the same basis as the other subjects. The value of Industrial Arts 4, .5 has been recognized in late years and is not offered on practically every it course students may take. Interest in this department has grown rapidly 3 and classes are constantly getting larger. VVoodwork alone is taught, since i equipment for other courses is not available. ll lf 1' VVith the addition of a combination plane and a jointer and a lathe Cl to the equipment, the woodwork courses are much more varied. NVood I V turning and elements of pattern making have been added to the regular Qs furniture making course already offered. Many useful and practical pieces I are made in the shop. An exhibit of the work done in the shop has been Ng held at the close of each year, and this has added interest to the work. The I i V quality of the work has improved each year. t 'Y Industrial Arts teaches the student to co-ordinate the hand and brain. I It furnishes him an opportunity to work with his hands and gives him a respect for the manual laborers as well as teaching him exactness in his work. It acquaints the student with different kinds of wood and gives him ex- perience in buying and handling lumber that will be useful whatever his y work in life may be. Many times the so-called dull student may find him- i f,.,igl I 1' s self interested in this work and progresses rapidly, this giving him renewed ' l confidence in himself so that his other work improves also.

The only justification for teaching art in the pubic school must be based on its articulation with other subjects of the curriculum. The aim is to lend appreciation and beauty to the every day surroundings of our daily life and at the same time allow the pupil the means of self-expression. As a consequence, Art is a many-sided subject. This year we have endeavored to make it as practical as possible. In the high school class. there were both beginners and advanced pupils. This year the Art depart- ment was certiiied with a two-year course so that hereafter there will be no problem of duplication. Work started with water color, brush work, color charts, and value scales. The theory of design was followed by original designs applied to picture placques and book-ends in gesso relief. Vtfork-shop facilities made further work in this impractical. Pencil sketching, pen and ink, perspective, and still life were taken up the second semester. Poster work preparatory to entering the state poster contest in April and color work completed the year's work. There were four sections of junior High School Art, averaging thirty to a class and reciting only twice each week. Study was made of color, values, hues, brush drawing, perspective, paper cutting, and poster making. An exhibit of each day's work, a sample from every pupil, will be given in the last of the year in addition to the regular display in the Art room. Zlaume fllicunumits Bepartment The general and educational worlds have recognized the need of train- ing in home making. The leaders who created this opinion were Count Rumford, Edward L. Youmans, and Ellen H. Richards. In the beginning only Sewing and Foods were studied, but now the work has broadened and includes the following: Foods, Sewing, Dressmaking, House Furnishing, Dietetics, Home Nursing, Home Management, Costume Design, and Mil- linery, with related subjects as Drawing, Designing, Chemistry, Physics, Physiology, Biology, and Economics. The advanced class studied Dietetics the first semester and Home Nurs- ing the second semester. Much interest has been exhibited in this depart- ment this year. Besides the regular class work the girls have done some special things: Made protectors for the stage curtains, dressed dolls for the Christmas party given by the Tri Kappas, served a Christmas dinner to the High School teachers, and refreshments to the teachers at a teachers' meeting. The cooking classes visited a baker and a meat market. f 'R 1871' e T7 Qd llffei-lfgxsgprs- s- .1811 'J -,Lr,Ex..-g----v.r Tv 'Nl IN :fi Hrri Fl Fri rr rm rin- ii irfii .ff if ..f..L,.1..

In this short time it has grown to be one of the best high school libraries in this part of the state of Indiana. It was started in September, 1923, the same year the new high school was opened, with eight hundred volumes. In the last four years this number has increased to approximately twelve hundred volumes, making an average of one hundred volumes added each school year. The circulation records for the year of '26 and '27 show a large increase over last year's records. This proves that the pupils realized the value of the reference work and are taking advantage of it. The circulation for the year is approximately four thousand volumes, an average of one hundred and forty-five books each month. Thomas DeQuincy says, Books we are told, propose to instruct and amuse. Indeed, the true anthesis to knowledge in this case is not pleasure but power. All that is literature seeks to communicate powerg all that is not literature to communicate knowledge. Qlinglisb Bepartment Good English pays. Stick to good English until good English sticks to you. Better speech--Better jobs. Better English eventually, why not now? These are a few of the maxims that the English department strives to inculcate, for the importance of English as a subject in the school curri- culum cannot be overestimated, as English is the medium of communication in school life. In professional life, in social life, and in public affairs skillful command of language is generally a condition of iniluence and success. The aims in the teaching of English fall into three groups, namely: practical English, in which special attention is given to the oral and Writ- ten English of the pupil, technical English, which stresses correct usages, forms and constructions, and literary English, which takes the pupil into the realm of literature and reading. Each aim is different yet essential, and all are correlated in such a way that any one is not sacrificed at the expense of the others. . Certain phases of mechanical English can be and are acquired by time the pupil finishes the eighth grade, and this is the foundation of high school English which is constantly taking a much greater part in the program of better speech and good English, however, growth in the knowledge and use of the English language is not limited by the span of twelve grades. W'e think in words, And when we lack fit words We lack fit thoughts. ,' 1 4-V ' I ' 1 1871 at 71 i if 1871 Fw.- ' . i .eg f ,Om I . l if FF'-PT or-rl-rare Fil :Tru-I Kxxfwv ,5 QA ' P-Will ffrf-f 2 1927 an 1- - 19 7 Q ,-J Science Bepartment The science department again offered three sciences: Chemistry, Bot- any and Biology. Only seven asked for Botany, so this course was dropped for this year. It will be offered again next year and a larger enrollment is expected. The Chemistry class this year is made up of a higher percentage of girls than usual. Even a larger number of girls should take it, as Chem- istry is used every day of our lives. The class adopted the new edition of Brownlee and Other's Chemistry. Chemistry is one of the oldest sciences. itf is also so new that the old 1921 edition was considered too much out o date. A full four years' course of Agriculture is offered, two years given dur- ing each school year, and then alternating. Last year Soils and Animal Husbandry were given, and these same subjects will be offered next year. This year Crops and a combination of Farm Mechanics and Farm Management are being given. :I-Music Eepartment There are two major types of appreciation to be obtained from music. These are, first, that of the listener, and second, that of the performer. This department has been trying to develop both of these types of appreciation. At the beginning of the fall term a call for band and orchestra mem- bers resulted in an orchestra of twenty-eight pieces and a band of twenty- two pieces. These organizations have had a prominent part in convocations and plays throughout the year. The Hrst semester of the High School music class studied the history of music from the most primitive type of music to the most modern types. The second semester they have studied harmony and appreciation. There were three Junior High classes in Music with a total enrollment of about ninety students. These classes studied music in varied forms. They X ' 1 ,:. KN.: 'Pdf Q . ia' . Ma' .. . . ...Papa . V ict ni 1 'A .Q ,, U ' I mi' m I J learned both one and two part songs by note and were able to read some rl by note. Oral and written, tonal and metric dictation and appreciation and f memory work were some of the other phases of music dealt with. The last semester a class in violin instruction was well attended. Plans are being made for a May Festival to be held during National Music Week, May first to seventh, in which the Grades, Junior High, and Senior High School will be represented. latin Ezpartment ,ea Latin holds a place in the high school curriculum which can never be replaced by any other language. Newspaper writers, lawyers, engineers, .IAN doctors, scientists are either required or advised to have some knowledge Elini! of Latin. Even in ordinary business life knowledge of Latin gives a larger lit' a I English vocabulary and an accuracy in the use of language. The greatest ' ' books have been written by those who knew Latin thoroughly, and many f passages cannot be understood Without a knowledge of it. So closely is it JH connected with the modern world that anyone cannot disregard it who wishes to be well informed. l r any A1 7 .1871 X IF I 5- sw ' . . .t .

In the advanced bookkeeping class, the nature of and the accounting necessary for a corporation is studied the first semester. Banking and banking methods are studied the second semester. Further practice ini the working out of sets of books is given in this class. In the beginning shorthand class, the fundamentals of the system of shorthand taught must be learned, and but little time can be given to the acquiring of speed in taking dictation and in transcribing from shorthand notes. The advanced class offers an opportunity to acquire this speed. Let- ters and articles to be transcribed. are dictated to the class, and stories and articles written in shorthand are read from books and magazines. In the advanced typewriting class, office methods are studied. The making of stencils, the taking off of mimeograph copies, tabulating, and the preparation of bills, statements and legal papers are part of the work of this class. In the district commercial contest held last year at Marion, teams were entered in beginning typewriting, and beginning bookkeeping, beginning shorthand, and penmanship. Three of the four teams won first place in the district and the typewriting team won fourth place in the state contest which was held at Muncie. This school had next to the highest number of points in the district. A commercial club was organized this year with a membership of about fifty. Speakers from Montpelier, Hartford City, and Muncie gave interest- ing talks to the Club. burial Qciemze Eepartmcnt A Social Science in the Junior-Senior High School is required in all grades with the possible exception of grade twelve. Geography, Community Civics, General History, American History, Civics, and Economics give a wide scope of training in the actual duties of a citizen. Training in citizenship is the aim of the Social Science group of studies. If the' right kind of citizens are given back to the community from the school, then the work of the latter is all the more successful. All subject matter is studied and inter- preted in present day activities. Current events have been added in every class this year, the World News and Literary Digest being taken as sources of information. Information means nothing if not properly applied to life, and it is therefore necessary to have this department well organized with specially trained teachers in charge. The work is equal to more than that of two full time teachers, forty-six periods per week being devoted to this department.

One of the most attractive and one which has caused much favorable comment is the set of bracket lamps given to the High School by the Class of '23. A more welcome and useful gift could not have been given us, and we feel that it is greatly appreciated by the public as Well as by the school. The class of '23, of which the following people were members and officers, should be remembered as one which worked for the betterment of M. H. S.: Walter Bonge, president: Mary Cunningham, vice-president, Mildred Edgington, secretary, Harold Berg- man, treasurer, Raymond Baker, Gerald Bell. Haskell Brown, Gladys Buryanek, Harry Ely, Carl Fox, Clyde Fox, Delmar Hart, Grace VVort, Zeno Smoker, Francis VVhite, Crystal Roll, James Neff, Veda Martin, Lemayne Hatt, Everett Huddleston, Paul Hemminger, VVilliam Kelley, Kenneth Ken- nedy, and Walter Long. The school board in compliance with the requirements of the state inspector has purchased pictures for the school rooms, and the Dramatic Club supplemented this purchase by buying a few choice and more expen- sinve pictures to encourage other lines of art as well as dramatics. i The proceeds of the concert of the musical organizations and the drills by the patrol of Mizpah Temple, Mystic Shrine, of Ft. NVayne, were applied on the purchase of orthophonic victrolas for each of the three buildings. Under the supervision of Miss Rice new pictures were pu1'chased for the high school class rooms and corridors.
