We have worried and worked until our dispositions are unbearable to those who don ' t understand. We want you to reserve your comments on this effort. Oo not definitely conclude whether you like it or not immediately after the first reading. Do not compliment or jeer us in a year from now. Five years will not give the proper perspective; but when you are settled in the fullness of middle age. say twenty years hence, when you pick up the time-worn volume of the Twenty-three Pierian, it there is the slightest chuckle or sob of memory — something that bridges the unretractable years, some human element that makes von whistle as you pursue your every-dav tasks — then and only then shall we be repaid For the work and sacrifice oi our enterprise.

It is true that we are not nearly the sentimentalists our immediate predecessors were. I'lit on the other hand we have a capacity for regard, for admiration, and for love that is surprising. It is such feelings that prompt us to speak a word here in appreciation of those noble, sacrificing shapers of our divers destinies- the teachers. Year in and year out, they teach, on and on. Where others of a lighter nature would succumb to the oppression, they gain courage and inspiration in the realization that their work is in reality (iod's work, and that in their endeavors toward the furtherance of civilization they are co-workers in a Divine plan. £ M.H.S.

THE best gift an American school can make to its pupils is an un- derstanding of democracy ; that you consciously and conscientiously prac- tice democracy, is the best advice I can give to you as you graduate. Democracy is a scheme for suc- cessful, contented living and is based on two assumptions : 1. That society is a man-made organization to allow and to help the individual to develop his natural self as far as he can along any lines that society has, in past experience, found good. 2. That the individual, therefore, owes to society his opportunity for, and the advantages of, a happy life, should appreciate this fact, and should serve wholeheartedly the so- cial groups to which he belongs. There are many implications of these two statements, only a few of which I shall mention : 1. Society stores up information, good habits, tried customs — wise ex- perience of the ages — which it places at the disposal of individuals through churches, schools, other social organizations, and through laws and customs. 2. Better individuals improve society and an improved society produces better individuals. 3. The easiest, best, most satisfying way for an individual to grow is to make one ' s social group (family, school, city, nation, and world) grow better and to grow better with it. 4. The larger the number of social groups to which one belongs, the greater the opportunity to develop one ' s different capacities and interests and the greater the opportunity to give to the world the benefit of one ' s education. Social service — to preserve the stored-up experience of humanity, to increase and better this store by you r individual contributions, to help yourselves by for- getting yourselves in the service of your fellow — is your duty, your opportunity, your happiness : your duty, because you owe to society what you are ; your op- portunity, because only thus can you become a full-grown individual ; your hap- piness, because, actually, it is more blessed to give than to receive. E. C. Cline. Good advice Page eleven =X 3 M.H.S. THE PIERIAN 1 g 2 3 pntiHor ' a iflfHHctg? 1 I ' HE diploma you get in June i- going - ■ to mean •an many things to you ; hence. When you come upon it as you are rummaging thru some treasure box. it will call up for you all the fun and work and worry of your high school davs : it will bring back forgotten face- : it will remind you of forgotten frolics and scrapes — yes. and of really splendid things you will be proud to remember having done. That is what this diploma will come to mean to you. But in the first few day- and weeks of its possession, and particularly next September, when all come trooping back- without you. it will seem to you more like a barrier shutting you out from a dear, familiar world. That is what I really wish to talk to you about. When you read these words. it will be but a day or two until your diploma is in your hands. When that day comes. I should like you to re- member that, altho we may seem very far away to you. to us you are still very near. You still belong to us. You are just not with us. For many a long day, we shall speak to each other of you. We shall be eager for news of you, and, not hearing, we shall ask. What do you hear from So- and-So? Where is he? What is he doing this year? We shall rejoice when the news is splendid. We shall grieve with you when things go badly. And when there is no news, our hearts will sink for we shall know you have forgotten your dreams. Will you then, in the davs. the weeks, yes. even in the years to come, remember that we have not forgotten, that we are waiting for news, splen- did, glorious news of you? Mary Morrow.

We expect Martha to be a famous artist some day and have her pictures objects of attention in leading art galleries. Keith Sharpe — Academic Keith ' s idea of the way to begin the day right is to fill up his car with girls to take to school. If there ' s anything doing, he is usually on deck.

U.S. THE PIERIAN Athbltrn A ILETIC contests are here to -tay. At first school authorities condemned and forbade athletic contests, later tolerated them. and finally accepted them as part of school life and activity. While yet outride the curriculum athletics are considered a regular part of school work and are used for -ocial and educational purposes as much as any other school subject. The player has certain pleasures in a game; the joy of being on the team represent- ing his school, encountering risk- and dangers, overcoming difficulties, helping win a contest. He has the pleasure of achievement in com- petition, receives the applause and approbation of his schoolmates. For a time he is a -ocial success, a hero ! The spectator has pleasure- also: the thrill of a good contest, following the game play by play, applauding good work, seeing his favor- ites win (or lose sometimes i. and the feeling of pride in the team. Athletics may be a power for good or evil. First there is the tendencv to physical injury. Athletes get hurt, overindulge, go stale, specialize so much that all pleasure is gone from the game. There is a tendency for athletes to develop bad manners. They gloat over victories and become irritable when defeated. There is the tendency to evade the rules of a contest or the eligibility requirements. Thre is a tendency for the spectator to play too large a part in the conduct of games. Rewards are given in athletics out of all propor- tion to the actual worth of the thing done to secure them. To secure effective participation in athletics the school must supply oppor- tunities in the form of equipment and activities. Four out of five people should be in athletics of some kind in every high school. To avoid the evil tendencies the school must supply the technical knowledge and skill to give physical examina- tions, and supervise the amount and character of activities. It must supply a moral leadership sufficient both to lead the earnest, honest, and reasonable spec- tators and to control or ignore the narrow, selfish partisan. Morton High School has a good athletic organization but our facilities are inadequate. In the first place an athletic field must be put in shape before we can even approximate four out of five students participating in athletics. Having to depend on Earlham College for a place to play football and tennis matches and to hold track meets, using the Coliseum for basketball practice and Exhibi- tion Park for baseball does not speak well for our ability to handle athletics and physical education. Girls are much more handicapped than boys. There is no place outside high school where they can take up athletic work. In spite of all this. Morton High turned out as good athletic teams as she ever had and will continue to have good teams from all appearances. A better record for a year ' s athletic work or a better bunch of fellows to work with would be hard to find in any high school in the United States. Harold M. Little. Coach. H 1 A victim of fourfold development Page thirty-eight M.H.S. THE PIERIAN 1923 Steattm? of t man A CAPABLE coach ; a squad of fighting, tearing men ; the backing of a loyal ■ - school ; those are the reasons for one of the best years of football Morton High School ever had. Six of eight hard games were won from teams of the highest ranking in the state. The two defeats early in the season might, in some persons ' eyes serve to detract from the honor and glory, but in reality they served as a means of bringing out Morton ' s true strength on the gridiron. Had we had more of a mediocre team, those two defeats, coming as they did at the very be- ginning of the season, would have ruined the whole year — hardly a game would have been won. But Richmond proved that she had a real team, with no end of fight and an unlimited reserve of energy. When the men reported for the first practices, which were held in a pasture on Twenty-third Street, the ma- terial looked almost hopeless to casual observers. There were but a few stars left over from the ' 21 season, and a still fewer number of promising, although inexperienced candidates. But in the squad that turned out, Coach Little thought he saw the material for a first-class team. So he tackled the bunch with a will and within two weeks after the season had opened had the greenest men playing ball that would have made Jim Thorpe jealous could he have seen them. Kennedy, Malone, Captain Mattox, Walls, Semler and Kohnle were the only men who possessed any appreciable degree of exeprience, while Parker, Muey, Handy with the pigskin; you are handed the sheepskin. Page thirty-nine M.H.S. THE PIERIAN 1 g 2 3 pBump nf paantt, (£antimip Sauter, Jones, and Kessler had almost no practical knowledge of the game whatsoever. The rest of the squad had only fundamental training. Mora Parker developed into one of the greatest finds of the year, filling the position at right guard with an aptness surpassed by none. Sauter at end. Kessler and Jones in the backfield and Muey at tackle, were other new men who capably filled their respective positions. Captain Ja ck Mattox who. it can safely be said is the great- est Morton athlete since the days of Karl Allison, was the steadiest, most con- sistent player of the entire team. Beside playing the center position in such a manner that he gained state-wide reputation. Jack ' s punting was a marvel to the spectators and a nemesis to opposing players. His punts for the season averaged between 40 and 50 yards. 1 lis best game was at Shortridge where he booted the ball from 50 to 55 yards. Kennedy ami M alone were two of the mainstays which comprised the nucleus around which the eleven was built. Kennedy in- stilled fear into the hearts of opponents with his mad rushes around end or fierce stabs at the line. Malone at the quarter position never became rattled, always knew what signal to call and when, and often broke loose for thrilling runs, as evidenced in the llluffton came. The coach has developed a wonderful line Page forty =§ rS- M.H.S. THE PIERIAN 1923 MALONE MATTOX HAROLD MALONE— Weight 150 lbs. Record: Two years on the team. Played as first-string quarterback his last two years. To successfully play football both brains and brawn are necessary. More responsibility is laid upon the quarter than on any other player. When calling signals Molly was as cool as could be, but once he had the oval in his mitts — oh boy! he didn ' t evey try to control his Irish, and the other side soon knew it too. RALPH KENNEDY— Weight 170 lbs. Record: Two years in the backfield. Regular fullback the last year. Here ' s a demon, a fighting fool, a football player who IS a football player. Whether it ' s hereditary or contracted, we couldn ' t say, but the ability and go-get- ' em spirit is there, all right. Man! To see him get mad and tear in is a tonic such that were it exploited, it would run Lydia Pinkham ' s Compound ragged. So long, Gabe. KENNEDY KESSLER JACK MATTOX, (Capt.)— Weight 178 lbs. Record: Four years on the team, playing first as end and later regular center, alternating there and at fullback his last year. Jack, although of wonderful good tempera- ment was of the snapping kind. As a snapper- back he proved the axiom that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, for the old swine-skin always went straight as a die to the backfield. Jack will hereafter be recognized as an outstanding luminary in the annals of M. H. S. PHILIP KESSLER— Weight 147 lbs. Record: One year at regular halfback position. This tow-head, who is but a small edition of The Village Blacksmith (brawny arms, etc., etc.) excited more admiration from the sidelines because of his exhibitions of pure grit and guts than any other player on the squad. And be- cause Whitey was in the game to win for Mor- ton, he won the favor of the whole school. See ya next year, kid. SAUTER MUEY KOHNLE PARKER REX SAUTER— Weight 143 lbs. Record: One year on the team as end. Some people have the ability naturally, oth- ers acquire it, and still others get by with a real good line. Sauter had a little of all three. He was the scoring end of the season as was witnessed at the Shortridge game. BERNARD KOHNLE— Weight 153 lbs. Rec- ord: Two years on the team. Played at the end position. In past seasons a number of exceptionally good ends have shown up, but of them all none approached Bernie ' s playing this year. He was good at interference and grabbing and inter- cepting passes, but his specialty was getting down under punts. MURLAND MUEY— Weight 160 lbs. Record: One year on the team as tackle. You know how the well-known duck takes to the well-known water? That ' s the way Muey took to football. Football was virtually the only sport indoors or out that he had not taken up when he came to Morton. But he said, Others have done it, why not I. And did he do it? Well that ' s what he didn ' t do nuthin ' else but! MORA PARKER— Weight 165 lbs. Record: One year on the team as tackle and guard. All those persons who knew Mora intimately have a wholesome regard, and an admiration of him. He was a real friend and the team profited immensely by hi fclaying. No man on the team fought harder or with more earnest endeavor than did Mora. � g — gi Fortune knocks only once at a man ' s door, and she ' s the worst knocker known. Page forty-one M.H.S.

Throwin ' big boys is j i st natchully th ' fondest thing Wib is of! DONALD SEMLER— Weight 170 lbs. Record: Two years on the team as guard. Donald the Stalwart! Full many a worthy opposing player has felt the futility of resist- ing his brawn and bulk. In his line of play he was unexcelled. A young Hercules in strength, lie was one of the mainstays of the eleven. WILFRED JONES— Weight 155 lbs. Record: One year on the team as halfback. This sweet lad ' s ability was going to waste rapidly until Little utilized it for the benefit of the M. H. S. gridiron aggregation. Even then but very few noticed his work.

' Page forty-three „ mils THE PIERIAN 192.1 t§ gl Sramiltnn at SUrbmond The season was opened when Hamilton ' s warriors invaded Richmond for the game which has become almost an annual institution between the schools. It was a battle between experience combined with weight, and just pure grit and fight. But the odds were too great. Morton was defeated 20-0 in a game that was full of thrills to the finish. The low score was a big surprise to everyone as the Ohioans were rated as among the best in their state. fHunri at SUrhmnno The entire eleven was out for blood that the Hamilton defeat might be avenged, and Muncie chanced to be the unlucky ones. The score was: Morton. 20: Muncie. 0. Muncie, although with an entirely new team, boasted a string of consecutive victories over some of the best elevens in the eastern section of the state. It was in this game hat some real finds were made on the Morton squad, and several new men stepped out and established themselves as men of real football ability. i fjmdan at is hmnan Sheridan, the ever present Nemesis! It seems that they might have had a bit of pity on us considering the way they ruined our ' 21 record. But they had no mercy, and the final tally read: Morton, 0; Sheridan, 37. However, there were compensations after the game was over, so that the fellows soon forgot about the defeat. ' Tis said most of them thanked their lucky stars that the train was late. 2faro (ftaatlp at SUrtimonfo Next to fall ' neath the onslaughts of Coach Little ' s crew was Newcastle, our rival of years and years. After the first few minutes of hard fighting, Richmond scored almost at will, gathering a touchdown for each of the first three periods and two touchdowns in the final quarter. Kessler toed a neat drop-kick between the posts in the third quarter. After the slaughter was over it was found that Morton had garnered 35 points while the best the Rose City lads could do was 13. Newcastle w r as simply outclassed and outfought. g ortrifcge at 3tiuianapnlis Little was known of the Indianapolis crew before the game. Many were afraid Rich- mond would be beaten. But the gridiron gang wouldn ' t see it that way. In the first quar- ter Morton by dint of very hard work pushed over one touchdown without goal. In the second quarter neither team scored, while again in the third the Red and White gained a 6-point tally. In the final session Muey blocked a punt and Sauter picked it up and ran for a touchdown. From then on the contest degenerated into a scoring contest among the Richmond players. Final score was 39-0. Uluffton at jEtrtruuinii Bluffton was trounced 24-0 in the sixth game of the season. Jones, right halfback, who had been working unnoticed all season, came to the fore and by his wonderful offensive tactics and ability to provide interference for his teammates made people recognize him. Kennedy was forced to leave the game after the third quarter when his foot was hurt. Had Richmond ' s offensive not thus been broken up the score would undoubtedly have been larger. (6arfi?li� of u rrr Sjautr at SUrhmnno The Garfield team from Terre Haute was of a quality unknown to Richmond. They were reputed to have beaten Reitz of Evansville, strong contenders for state honors. But the Red and White tore into them with that undeniable spirit which characterized their games all the year. Garfield proved a tough nut to crack but Morton finally turned the trick after a hard game, 20-7. i3rratur at Srratur Then came the final game at Decatur. Morton had won five of seven hard games. The upstaters had won six and lost none. Relative scores gave Decatur a win by at least a touchdown. The dope appeared to be running true when in the first minutes of play Myers of Decatur broke thru and ran 45 yards for a touchdown. Soon after, however. Ken- nedy duplicated the feat and evened the score at 0. On a few passes and the old A ' formation Morton pushed the ball to within five yards of the goal, and Kennedy literally dived the rest of the way for the winning points. Kessler drop-kicked for another point. and the score was 13-0. The remainder of the game Morton directed her energies to hold- ing Decatur scoreless, and was successful. In winning the game Morton also retained the undisputed championship of Eastern Indiana. Don ' t expect to be colled in the morning, hot self-rising bread for supper. Page forty-four M.H.S.

THE PIERIAN 1 923 =§ SUaumi? of aann BASKETBALL in the year V)22-23 proved a most wonderful rejuvenation of that major athletic which startled not only Morton high but the entire state. Twenty-eight consecutive victories, through the entire schedule, through the dis- trict and sectional tournaments, up into the second round of the state finals was the feat which caused Indiana athletic circles to gasp with astonishment, sport sheets to blaze with tales of our conquests, and the city of Richmond to go wild with admiration and nearly burst with pride. The first few victories, outstanding mainly because of Coach Little ' s strategy and versatility in substituting, were of little consequence and no one had visions of a world-beating team. But they kept on winning and winning and the list of consecutive victories mounted high. In the first real thriller of the year, Hamil- ton lost to us 18-19 on the t )hio court, and the following night Eaton ate our dust. After Connersville had fallen 2?-27 and Newcastle 28-20. local enthusiasm began to effervesce and the Eollowing at home games became enormous. Loyal followers traveled miles to see the team play out of town. Slate champs next year Page forty-six M.H.S. THE PIERIAN 1923 UpBurnp of £ ?n8an, (Hatxtmmh State critics were slow to recognize the team, however, saying that Morton had played teams of an inferior sort, and that they could not see us as a first-class outfit. As a result the eyes of the basketball world were centered on the Morton game at Bedford, which was conceded to have a team of the best calibre. Crowds in Richmond were delirious with joy when word was flashed back that the gang had walloped the Stone City representatives, 29-22. Later Stivers and Steele fell, as did Dupont Manual of Louisville, and when Morton ' s warriors entered the sec- tional they had tallied twenty-one games won and none lost. Vulgarity is the conduct of others. Page forty-seven M.II.S. THE PIERIAN S U. ' TER XIXOX PRICE JONES REX SAUTER, Center— Similar to other great men, Sauter ' s ability came in streaks. How the crowd has prayed for those streaks to show np, and at other times how thankful have they been that such a thing existed! Take Hamilton, Newcastle or Bedford as examples. KENNETH PRICE, Forward— Pricey is a basketball man from a basketball town — Con- nersville. (How well we know it). His playing was of a high calibre and ever-consistent. The general populace of Richmond is as one in de- claring that Ken has one of the prettiest shots of any player ever seen here. BYRON NIXON, Forward— Nick was our little surprise package this year. He first sprung him- self on us in and around the divers invitational tourneys. Some people thought he had the old hoop magnetized but the fact is he was just one of Monsieur Youe ' s devotees. WILFRED JONES, Backguard— While not having quite as much chance as the rest to show his stuff on the hardwood, Jonesy came to be relied and depended upon a great deal in the pinches. And it can be said to his credit that he always came through with his quota and more, in the pinch. KENNEDY KESSLER MATTOX MURLAND ML ' EY, Forward— This shiek came to us from Huntington where he played on the high team last year. Fifty years from now, white-haired grandfathers will hold tiny tots on their knees and tell them how Muey used to roll ' em ' round on his thumb and flip ' em thru the basket. Muey was the high scorer from the field this year. WHITEY KESSLER. Floorguard— Second year of the court game for Whitey and he ' s but a junior now. Paw Webster didn ' t print the words it would take to describe this baby ' s playing. Suffice it to say that he comes nearer being an incarnation of lightning than any one we have ever seen. GABE KENNEDY. Forward. Floorguard— We used to think it would be heaven to be selected on an all-state basketball team. But Gabe seems to think it a very commonplace occurrence, in- deed. Here are a few statistics we compiled about him: high scorer of the team for the year, member of all-sectional, all-regional and all-state teams. JACK .MATTOX.

It is impossible for one person to publish an annual of 150 odd pages, if he is interested in any other school activities; so every body had to work. There were times when grins were impossible, when blues almost became blacks, but the sun finally shone through the black clouds oi despair. and now we see only the silver lining. Earle Carr, as assistant, did some remarkable feats, such as retiring at twelve and arising at five, so that his mind and typewriter could co- ordinate for us. Henderson, the business manager, was wise in the selection of his assistants, Clayton Jackson, who sold the advertising (and more than had ever before been sold, too), and William Lellunt and Harold Malone, who managed the department that sold a larger number of annuals in proportion to the enrollment than has ever been sold in the his- tory of the school. This group made the hook pos- sible. They helped on the editorial side, too. In fact, all of the departments played the game for old Morton with a vim and vigor that is uu- defeatable. The school is extremely fortunate in having artists of the caliber of Walt Van Ktten. Herb llotsenpiller, and Charles Surendorf. They were always ready with ideas and equally ready to execute them. Virginia Unthank worked wonders with snap-shot pages, and too much cannot be said of the wonderful work of Chick Graffis and Mary Alice Collins in the athletic and organization de- partments respectively. One of the greatest problems the staff had to face was that of dedication. The four janitors dis- played such a willingness to give all, and co-operate to the greatest extent that it was next to impossible to choose one individual. Mr. Dingley. the vetc who has been in the ser .. - -. was always helping. Mr. White, Mr. Nichols and Mr. Kemper equally deserve credit for their timely aid. The only thing to be done was to draw lots, and the result is depicted on the dedication page. Co-operation of a superior type was displayed by the Nicholson Printing Company, The Indianapolis Engraving Co., and Roy Hirshhurg. May these three continue in the prosperity that they so richly deserve. _ , _ Bill Romey. Editor 2j. §= A shirt is every man ' s bosom friend. Page fifty-eight =§ rS- M.H.S. THE PIERIAN 1923 ■ inurualtam dlaaa ANEW journalism class is formed in Morton High School each semester. It is the work of this class to write the Register the Morton High School newspaper, which won third place in the Wisconsin University Contest. This journalism course is open to Juniors and Seniors. Credit is given the same as for any other English class. The class is divided into two parts, each part alternating each week with the other half in studying from a text and working on the Register staff, the latter meaning to collect news, interview people and write up in journalistic style the news obtained. This necessitates running back and forth from the class room to different places in the building and so each person realizes that he is responsible for doing things as quietly, quickly, and as thoroughly as he is able. On Friday the class unites and a recitation takes place on a text containing essays written by prominent newspaper correspondents and editors. In this way journalism is studied both from the mechanical phase and the theoretical phase. In November, ' 22, two representatives, Julia Burr and Frances Martin, were sent to Madison, Wisconsin, to represent the Register at the Central Inter-scholastic Press Association Convention held there by the University of Wisconsin. The pennant given by the Indianapolis News, denoting the third prize, is given to the Register as silent proof of energy and work. Clayton Jackson represented the Register at the founding of the Indiana High School Press Asso- ciation, of which he was elected president. There is a quiet, but active force in Morton High School, named Herman O. Makey. He has raised himself to the pinnacles he has attained and his actions are ever worthy of emulation. In spite of his many duties as head of the English Department, Instructor of Journalism, Sponsor of the Writers ' Club, Editor of the Register and holder of other offices too numerous to mention, he found time to give structive criticism and aid to the 1923 Pierian. We are indeed fortunate to have the privilege of co-operating with such a man. Mr. Floyd Schlauch and Miss Anna Finfrock gave invaluable assistance to the production of the h. o. makey 1923 Pierian.

At all times she has devoted her energies to student enterprises in reckless disregard of her own convenience and strength. Hats off to Miss Finfrock !

It was composed of some very witty remarks and clever songs. Davis and Miller entertained the audi- ence with a black-face dialogue.

Jonas of the Schuster-Martin Cincinnati, Ohio, who chose the cast so wisely. Miss Messman, who teaches Dramatic Arts in a private school in Cincinnati, was recommended to the play committee by the faculty of the Schuster-Martin School of which she was a member last year. She not only possesses dramatic ability but was able to convey her interpretations of the dif- ferent characters to the cast with an ease which effected amazing results. The well-selected cast of the play labored diligently and willingly in rder to present a finished production — and their efforts were not in vain. The cast were at all times responsive to the suggestions of the directors. The Senior Play Committee deserves much credit for choosing a play so easily adapted to the needs of the class.

THE PIERIAN 1923 iMuatr THE A Orchestra was established in 1899 under the direction of Will Earhart with less than a dozen members. Rehearsals were held in the old Garfield building. There were only such instruments as violins, mandolins, guitars and clarinets, but John F. Thompson, who was then concertmaster raised $700 to buy more instru- ments. When Mr. Earhart left to teach in Pitts- burgh, Mr. Sloane became leader until he accepted a position as Instructor of Public School Music at DePauw University. The orchestra now has eighty members and owns more than sixty instruments. They have in use a library of music worth $5,000. Their reper- toire includes standard classics such as symphonies of Beethoven, Mozart, Tschaikowsky, Dvorak and Mendelssohn. The orchestra has been under the direction of Mr. Maddy for three years. Last year they played before the National Supervisors ' Convention at Nashville and were proclaimed the best High School Orchestra in America. This year seven concerts were given in the regular program. Several special programs were given also at various meetings, and children ' s con- certs to demonstrate the orchestral instruments to the grade school children. The orchestra took a trip to Portland, Indiana, in January, where they gave two programs : in the afternoon a concert for the grade and high school pupils with demonstration of instruments and in the evening a concert. The trip was made in auto- mobiles and was enjoyed by everyone, because of the hospitality of the Portland people. The orchestra was always on hand for chapel programs and usually rendered a special number. The money from the winter concerts, to- gether with funds from the Student Council, was used to purchase a harp. This made the sym- phony orchestration complete. Mr. Montani, of Indianapolis, gave lessons to nearly a dozen pupils during the spring term. Although a large number of the talented members are graduating this year, many capable and skilled members remain and under the direction of Mr. Maddy ' s baton the orchestra has prospects of equalling or surpassing all past records. MR. MADDY was born in Well- ington, Kansas, in 1891. After re- ceiving a liberal musical education in western musical schools, where he specialized in violin and clari- net, he was admitted to the Min- neapolis Symphony Orchestra where he played for four years. He has held leading positions in many bands and orchestras in the country and has played professionally on nearly every instrument. His first important position was as Director of Music in the Wichita Falls, Texas, schools, 1915 to 1917. In 1918 he became supervisor of instrumental music in the Rochester, N. Y., schools. He is now head of the music department of the summer school of the University of South- ern California and conductor of the university orchestra. He is associate editor of thirty- one books on school music, among which are: Universal Teacher for Band and Orchestra Instruction, and Willis Graded School Orchestra Series. §= Manners are a difficult symphony in the key of B natural.

The club consists of twenty senior girls. Until this year the new members were recommended by the teachers and voted on by the existing members of the club, but by the new charter granted this year the members select the girls for the following year with the approval of the teachers. This year the club has not only taken an active part in school af- fairs but also in social service work. The girls made dolls and picture books for the kiddies of the Day Nursery, and brought clothes to the Social Service Bureau. A party for sophomore girls was given to acquaint them with the upper-classmen in the school. Two all school skates and a Hallowe ' en party were also given. The annual banquet for the new members and the alumni members was given at the Arlington at the end of the school year. The club is deeply indebted to Miss Parke, under whose able sponsor- ship they were able to accomplish so much this year. The purpose of the club is to promote wholesome companionship, to be ready to serve, to find and give the best, and in general to carry on, from which the name Noyrrac is derived by spelling it backwards.

It is alleged that Malone did feloniously shatter all the childhood illusions of young Stamper by telling him that there is no Santa Claus. The case originated last June when Mr. Malone is said to have drawn Allen aside and whispered cautiously to him, Sonny, there ain ' t no Santa Claus ! At this revelation, the youth broke into violent wailing at thus having all his childhood illusions shattered. The Osborn sisters noted the child ' s distress and led him home. Mrs. Stam- per was very indignant at her son ' s mal- treatment and immediately consulted the family lawyer, Warren H. DeWees, who at once brought suit against Ma- lone. Mr. DeWees bases his case upon section 15 of the 29th article of the In- diana constitution, which makes it ille- gal for an individual to tell a child under thirteen years of age that there is no Santa Claus or that Bunnies don ' t lay eggs on Easter day. Mr. DeWees claims that this revel- ation has totally wrecked the confidence of young Stamper in mankind, and he demands $11,000 damages from Malone. It is reported that Malone is going to make a plea of temporary insanity. The witnesses so far summoned in :he case are : Nellie Burton, Richard Clark, Mildred Coppock, John Buhl, Elizabeth Doren, Gertrude Dunlap, Fred Frauman, and Raeburn Finley.

Ex- tensive Search Being Made JAY BORDERING ON INSANITY Miss Emelyn Land, resident of the Pfafflin Hotel, was abducted from her basement apartment by Mr. Hubert De- Beck this morning at 1 :30 a. m. The couple was seen by Gladys Burns to board a hand car where the C. O. railroad crosses Main Street. Mr. Ru- dolph Griffin Jay, the kidnapped ' s fiancee, is bordering on insanity and is confined to his home and so is unable to pursue the fleeing couple. Inspector John Wayne Weber, of the Sherlock-Holmes Memorial Detective Association, is employed in the case. Mr. Jay was tripping happily along with his uke under his arm to serenade Miss Land, when his roving eyes fell suddenly on the fair object of his affec- tions being carried off by Mr. DeBeck. Mr. Lucian Stamper, who was returning home from a midnight meeting of the Ku Klux Klan, heard Jay utter an agon- ized cry and clutch a pea-shooter which had been concealed under his left eye- brow. Jay raised it quickly to his quiver- ing lips, but he was too late, as the ma- chine bearing his beloved had already whirled away into the darkness. He then collapsed into the arms of Mr. Stamper, who assisted him home. Telegrams describing the couple have been sent to Centerville, Boston, West- ville, and Chester. Sheriff Raymond Bailey has put the heaviest police force in years on the case, consisting of Young- flesh, Cottingham, Lawall and Minnick.

C. of Morton, Indiana EDITORIAL For thousands of years as yet un- numbered it has been the contention of the Outcast that history will repeat itself if properly encouraged. At least our patience has been rewarded. The missing link has been found! Recent excavations have revealed that old Tut-ank-ahem had golashes for each and every one of his pet flappers. The special species of golash found is of a primitive type yet they are unmistak- able biological resemblances to our more advanced flinging, flopping, slush sloppers. This antideluvian phenomenon merely corroborates our afore mentioned philosophy established by worthy pre- cedent. So, gentle patron, in scanning o ' er our quaint, queer, droll and clear journalistic endeavor we call to your most sophisticated mentality the fact that at times the news in this publica- tion may seem old, varied, tasteless and stale, we are only seeing in the dim, mystic future the next historic cycle. I thank you. King Tutankhamen isn ' t the only mummy who is getting the first-page position these days either. Yellow fever is a passion for reading the Outcast.

The fight was even until the ninth round, when Cottingham upset the dope bucket by slipping on the un-rosined canvas, and overpowered his opponent by his superior avoirdupois. One of the most thrilling and spectac- ular bowling matches in years was en- joyed by a mixed crowd in the local alleys last night. Paul Loos put up a plucky fight, but was out-bowled in every department of the game by Reba Morgan, one of the most promising fol- lowers of the international sport. In spite of her ability, bowling is merely Miss Morgan ' s avocation ; her vocation is the editorship of the Physical Cul- ture Magazine. The only unfortunate happening of the evening resulted in Miss Morgan ' s being taken to a chiropodist to have her toe dressed, which was severely lacerated by a ball which Mr. Loos, accidently or on purpose, allowed to fall on the termination of her left pedal ex- tremity. It is hoped that Miss Morgan will recover soon and be in good form for her coming match with the cham- pion flea-weight bowler, Miss M. K. Youngflesh.

When I entered the palatial offices of The Gump Collar Button Corporation, my eyes roamed over an endless sea of mahogany-topped desks and clicking typewriters. I was thrilled with antici- pation because during the next half hour I had an appointment with Cecil Allen Gump, himself, and he was to tell me his life story! I expected to see a stern, haughty man, but instead, when I was ushered into his august presence, my gaze rested upon a kind, human-looking sort of a fellow who offered me a stogie. And what do you suppose he had been doing? He had just made out a ten thousand dollar check to the order of The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Homeless Cats ! This, I am told, is only one of the many charitable societies to which he is a regular contributor. Mr. Gump bade me be seated and be- gan : I was born when quite young near Westville, Ohio, the last of a proces- sion of nineteen offsprings. My father was in very straightened circumstances, and this necessitated very hard work on my part from my early youth. Every morning I had to get up at daybreak, break the ice in the pitcher, dress, feed the pigs, milk the goats, and gather the eggs before breakfast. The one thing that enabled me to endure my sad condition was my am- bition. It was to become a member of the Richmond Police Force. As soon as I had attained my majority, I ran away to Richmond and applied for a position as patrolman. The Superin- tendent of the Metropolitan Board of Police Commissioners measured my feet and asked me whom I voted for at the last election and then told me I was hired. Oh, heavenly bliss ! It took all of my little hoard of money to buy brass buttons and a tin badge for my coat, but I was supremely happy. But, alas, it was too good to last. I had only been working, (that is, the city) two weeks, when I had to be taken to the hospital to be treated for sleeping sick- ness. A month later I was discharged with the warning that I must change my occupation or 1 would have a relapse. It was soon after I left the hospital that I met her. Here the king of Wall Street bowed his head, and I could see that he was fondly thinking about that wonderful occasion. 1 did not dare to interrupt his sweet thoughts. Very soon he sighed and went on. Passing over the details. I shall Marilynn Miller THE WANTON IDLE RICH A Great Story of Primtive Passion Synopsis : Mari- lynn Miller, a poor country girl, has been compelled by her ambitious step- mother to marry wealthy William Yanhorn. leader of the fast Long Island golf set. As soon as she is installed in the great family mansion, she dis- covers that her hus- band no longer holds her fancy; so she orders him to leave the house forever. One night she meets the handsome Carleton Renssalaer. the oil magnate, and she feels herself irresistibly drawn to him. But Renssa- laer is paying ardent court to Bobette Rosenberger, a follies girl who is the wife of Martin Rosenberger. the wall paper king. Rosenberger is insistently annoying Marilynn with his coarse ad- vances. Meanwhile Bobette is artfully ensnaring young Tom Darkfair, who secretly loves Mrs. Renssalaer. who loves Yanhorn, who is carrying on an unsuspected affair with Mrs. Darkfair. These eight people meet by chance at an infamous roadhouse on Warwick Drive and each falls in love with an entirely different person. Don ' t miss next week ' s installment of this great story of spiritual regeneration in an ab- sorbing setting of corruption and de- bauchery. Editor ' s Note — Due to the illness of the author, there will be no installment of this story until next week. We have just printed the synopsis so that our readers wouldn ' t forget the plot. merely say that after a short courtship, we were married and have led a singu- larly happy life together ever since, ex- cept one time when the mother-in-law tried to make me sip soup silently. The patient affection of my wife was all that was necessary to start me on my successful business career. I began to manufacture collar buttons, begin- ning in a little shop in the rear of Price ' s Candy Shop. I made celluloid collar buttons — guaranteed not to tar- nish the neck. The world very quickly recognized the worthiness of my pro- duct, and now I am the head of a mil- lion dollar firm with offices in every country including Poland and Yapland. At this point 1 interrupted with a ques- tion. To what do you ascribe your success, Mr. Gump? He replied without hesitation. I have two mottoes that always guide my action, and to them I atribute all my success. They are : ' Put your best foot forward, but don ' t step on a tack ' — and — ' When in doubt, ask your wife.

Page one hundred six M.H.S. THE PIERIAN 1923 Popularity Qlmtteat A S HAS been customary in years past, The Pierian this spring held a popu- ■ - - larity contest among Morton pupils to determine the most popular male and female student and also the most popular teachers of the school. The teachers ' contest was an innovation instituted by this year ' s Pierian and will no doubt be- come a permanent feature of the annual because of its great success. The re- sults of the race have been guarded closely and this is their first publication. Philip Kessler, Boy Winner in Student Contest Very little need be said in explanation of Whitey ' s popularity. Who would not be well-liked who had an irresistible personality, boundless life and pep every hour of the day, and who had a smile for everyone. He is a real favorite among the boys because they know him to be a sport in the true sense of the word, while the fair sex are attracted to him for various logical reasons. William Romey, Second Running but six votes behind the winner, Bill Romey was acclaimed second most popular boy in M. H. S. Bill ' s propensity for making hosts of friends and admirers, and his ability to successfully indulge in almost every activity in school won him the place. He has engaged in dramatics, operatics, athletics, for- ensics and other things too munerous to mention, and because of his straight- forward and earnest attitude and his democratic demeanor to all, he has won a lasting remembrance in the heart of every student who knows him. Virginia Harris, Girl Winner Student Contest A substantial margin marked Virginia ' s victory over her nearest competitor for this much coveted honor. No one ever merited such just recognition more than does she. Entirely unassuming, with a definite purpose in attending high school, she has aroused to admiration and emulation all with whom she has come into contact. Substantiating the wisdom of those who voted for Virginia was her selection for the lead in the Senior Class play. Rhea Crandall, Second She has a golden voice. She is lovely. Her charm and lure is not figurative, it is real, it is positive. Known and well-liked since her advent to Morton, her popularity has increased with leaps and bounds. Judges of abiding friendship, personality and rare beauty indeed were those who cast their votes for Rhea. Sweet is the thought we are liked, bat exquisite is the knowledge we are loved.

Likewise we would like to see the girl who has not visualized him as her model Sheik at one time or another. Where has he an enemy ? When has his equal as a coach ever been approached here? He has not an enemy, and he is by far the best coach we ever had. He is the most popular man in school. Shannon Neff, Second When we have reached that stage of uselessness in which our mental ex- ertion is limited to looking back ' ' over by-gone days of youth, there is one recollection at least which will stand out as clear and plain and indelible as it does today — that is the memory of hours spent with Shannon Neff. His interesting logic, his personality and general amiability have won the heart and hand of every student. Anna Finfrock, Winner in Teacher Contest And Miss Fin frock ' s name led all the rest ! One need know her but casually to like her immensely, but oh ! Juniors and Sophs, wait until you have known her for years and you will love her with an all-abiding and a tender love. You will revere and adore her, because she has been endowed with justice and mercy and an understanding of every trouble high school boys or girls may have. Miss Brokaw, Second What makes a teacher popular, anyway? Is it giving lots of freedom, or grading high ? Those who have studied under Miss Brokaw find that the answer is asserted in her method of teaching. Her policy is to make the subject as in- teresting as possible for both herself and pupils with a view to mutual benefit. It is also to be noted that she diets her pupils not alone on the subjects taught by her, but allows an occasional interpolation of something different. The man that counts in this world is the cashier. Page one hundred nine _ m.h.s. THE PIERIAN 1923 „ ®h? Kmbnigltfl of ittnrphnta By Eakle Cabr ROY sank wearily down in the chair by the telephone. The Palladiums had been extra heavy that evening, principally because of lengthy accounts of Morton ' s late triumph at Bedford. Feeling in need of spiritual reanimation. he allowed his index finger to oscillate the telephone dial. The finger needed no mental supervision, but, trained by repetition, inserted itself in the loops so as to form the combination 2360. He pressed the receiver close to his ear, but was rewarded only by an intermittent buzz. Instantly a fierce jealousy clutched hi ; heart. Perhaps that was Dave talking to Virginia — perhaps he was even mak- ing a date for tonight ! Confound my procrastination anyway, he said to himself as he slammed the receiver back on the hook. The next five minutes was spent alternately ring- ing 2360 and replacing the receiver with unnecessary force. When he had done this several times without getting any results, he stopped and began to think. He had been dating with Virginia for some time now and during all this time. Dave had been the only disturbing element. Why not settle the affair right away — even tonight? He turned more calmly to the phone and was soon re- warded by hearing Virginia ' s voice come sweetly over the wire. Xot being in- quisitive, the reader will of course consider it unnecessary to have the conversa- tion repeated. It is sufficient to say that Roy gained his objective, a date with Virginia that night. Promptly at 7:30 he presented himself at Virginia ' s home. Yes, Virginia would be right down. Would he have a chair and look over the magazines for a minute? He sank down in a luxurious chair before a cozy grate fire. The heat was pleasant and devitalizing. [He seemed to have lost all of his fear, now that he had plunged boldly into the affair.] He glanced at the evening paper and then at the pile of magazines at his elbow. The covers of most of them were ornamented with pictures of very charming and perfect young ladies. All of them are pikers, he thought to himself, compared to Virginia. He looked in anticipation at the stairway down which she soon must come to him. and allowed his imagination full sway Virginia, dear Virginia, fresh and sweet as the violets in some ferny nook. How lovely she was with her hair falling in delicate streams about her head. forming a gilded frame for a picture of surpassing beauty ! Why. there she stood on the stairs, smiling at him in greeting. With a thrill he arose and conducted her, almost with an air of proprietorship, to a seat on the sofa. They sat for a moment speechless, each bound by the fascination of the other ' s propinquity . Then his tongue obeyed the call of his heart. Virginia, my dear, many a pleasant evening have we spent here together, turning the portrait album ' s gilded pages or listening to McCormick ' s love bal- lads, but tonight I would something more serious do. Oh. I fain would couch my meaning in terms more elegant, but I can ' t, I must just sav it outright — I love you — Won ' t you be mine? Virginia arose. But Roy. this is The rest was smothered as he clasped her close in sweet submission. Ah. Alas! Such Heavenly Bliss can not last — for in came Papa. What do you mean. he thundered, you young scoundrel, coming into my home and stealing my daughter. Begone ! And never return. He threw open wide the door. Roy stood for a moment immovable, then controlling his temper, he turned to the door and hurled back this defiance. 1 shall go, but I leave with this warning: Love will be served.

THE PIERIAN 1923 „ t§ = will not surrender your daughter to me, as I live, I will take her. He left, filled with the fire of chivalry and determined to take his beloved one by force as did the knights of old. He called all his friends to him and explained his purpose. They all swore to help him in his endeavor. At the mystic hour of two in the morning, Roy and his trusty comrades came boldly to the abode of Virginia. They crashed through the doors and while his companions held the servants and irate Papa at their swords ' points, Roy summoned Virginia. When she came to him, he clasped her in his arms and kissed her fervently, directly in front of her father, who was nearly boiling with rage. The kiss was one of record length. Roy began to notice at last that the kiss seemed to have a peculiar flavor, and a pungent odor which presently so tickled his nostrils that he felt an irresistible desire to sneeze. It was overpower- ing and uncontrollable. At last he had to submit. CA— CHOO ! ! ! ! Roy opened his eyes and looked down at what had been Virginia. It had been the inky columns of the Palladium that he had pressed so fondly to his lips. He had dozed away waiting for Virginia to come clown stairs ! He heard a giggle from the stairway and turned quickly to see Virginia. What were you doing? she asked. Nothing, said Roy, looking very foolish. Let ' s go to the movies. mp ltg t0 of Mm By Allen Stamper MUCH has been said about all men being created equal, but there is a great scarcity of advocates of man ' s being elevated to the plane of and having the same rights, as woman. Woman generally and most times individually is a big subject, but it is a gross mistake to allow them to overrun us men and deprive us of our inalienable rights, just because of their numerical and moral ponderosity. Take for instance the biased sex customs. It is an unjust psychology that allows them to cover the dark dust and dirt on their physiognomies with a white variety, while the sterner sex must eternally and externally adopt the routine of soap, H20, and towel. But, however, our objection to their use of those little miniature flour barrels, alias compacts, is obliterated by the curiosity to know how they get such good looking complexions from such a little space. Ever since the Pathe News pictures have shown goateed French generals greeting one another with a sound smack on the cheek, it has become the per- manent custom of our aping women by unanimous adoption. Why not permit the men to use the same salutation, altho a diet of chalk dust is not particularly wholesome. It is to be deeply regretted that the females of the modern Donatellos have no ears. It is the truth, for who ever saw them? Seeing is believing, and not seeing is disbelieving. It has been rumored that the original keenness of that anatomical organ has been greatly multiplied by its loss, for woman has the reputation of the ability to hear everything and the genius to talk incessantly about it. We long for a time when this valuable facial appendage will be restored to its rightful pinacle as a thing of beauty and pride. We plead for a time when sex discriminations will be banished and man may sit with dignity on a par with woman ; but Kipling was right, the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
