Theirs is a great res])onsi- hility, for their task is to see tliat we are provided with good teachers, thai the school huildings are properlv maintained, and that the hest, most mod- ern educational system and standards are oiTered to us. Due to their efforts and efficiency, our system of schools is classed as one of the l)est in the state. We are indehted to them for having made our oj:)[)()rtunities for edu- cation higgcr and lieltcr tlian they might otherwise have been. Men of fciv words arc flic best men.

S SOMEONE lias said that a high school cchication makes one a hundred times as Hkely to succeed as one without such an oppor- tunity. Education makes one a giant. In m th and in ' reahtv we know of giants who, finding it easy to get along hecause of their jxiwer, h e an easy, slothfuk useless life: they play no part in the world heyond heing a freak of nature — an incumhrance on the earth. ( )ther giants there are who use their powers to tyrannize the weaker — to make the unfortunate more unfortunate. But heing able to do great things carries ihe moral ohligalion actually to use such ability and to use it in a good way. It is clear that it is sinful, if we are giants, merely to do nothing; it is clearly more sinful to use our superior |)owers in an - wa - that does not liel] to do the world ' s work, make others luqipicr, add our excess power to the efforts of those who may lack. ( )ught not we who ha e profited from free education take a sober moment now and then to jjonder our responsibility to a benefi- cent society that ga e us more i)ower?

The conditions of ex- istence have been so completely changed that we would find it disagreeable, as well as impossible, to li ' e now in such a primitive manner. This change we owe to science. Science would have been unable to make this contrilnition to the world if had )t ai)i)lied the knowledge Aliss HuxicE Brok.wv gained in school and in life. A good many years ago, Shakespeare, in As You Like It, gave us this idea in three words, Unmuzzle your wasdom. There- fore, when you go to do your job in the world, remember that learning , as pure learning, makes very little contribution to your community, but that applied learning helps pay the debt all owe to societv. Up tltat xuanta mnitpy, ntpaiis aub rnntrnt, ta xintlimtt tiirppgnobfrirttJia 0. K of the common human wants is money. This and the power derived from your training in Morton and other sources of guidance constitute the means enabling you to achieve more desirable ends in life. Money and means are essential, but if you are not contented, you are with- out the third good friend. A gi-eat [jart of the strength and contentment of life is commensurate with the degree in which we get into harmony with our environment. These three blessings, when accom- ])anied by a steadfast desire to serve God and one ' s fellows, are contributing fac- tors to a life of worthv achievement. Shanxon D.

And from them fashion out A clean courageous life. I do not ask to miss All tests of care and pain, I merely ask for this : Faith for the dark and rain, Strength for the task which falls. Wisdom to know the right, And when the curtain falls. Courage to face the right. Life is blended whole. Mixture of joy and care; Pleasure may test the soul Deeply as hurts we bear.

It is now one of tlie largest and most important of the school acti ' itics, having one liundred and twenty-five members ; the art appreciation group is composed of one hundred members and the craft section of twenty-five members. The purpose of the Art League is to encourage and foster an interest in matte rs of fine arts among ])ui)ils, to provide a means of activities along this line, and to contribute to the general interest of the community in art. ( )ne of the ])est things that the League has done, has been to con- duct a free drawing and painting class for the children of the grades. The League has had very interesting speakers, one of the most jirominent this year being the distinguished painter, Luis [Mora, who talked to them and illustrated some of his art.

To man- age its activities is hard work, but to enjoy the ease and com- fort of a smooth-running machine is bliss. The unpopular side of the foregoing has been the business and the duty of the faculty and student managers. It is their mission to see to it that the major activities of the school are properly handled so that we students may enjoy their efforts. Much credit is due them for the pleasing and successful manner in which all of Morton ' s activities have been handled during the past year. They have done much to make this managerial system, which is a comparatively new experiment, a success in Morton. Manv of our best student executives have been developed through this channel.

Richmond was one of the first cities in the country to have a high school orchestra. ' e were not satisfied with this distinction, but we worked hard until we had one of the best orchestras in the country. The [Morton liigh School ( )rchestra has become more or less of a model for all other high school orchestras. We are proud of this fact, l)Ut we should not be contented ; we not only have our repu- tation to maintain, but there is still much in music we have not done. Before this year we did very little in vocal music, but in one year a great stride has been taken in that direction. We now have a chorus of about four hundred people, two glee clubs, a boys ' sextet, and a girls ' sextet. Mr. Nils Boson, our new supervisor of music, has organized all of these successfully. lore students can take an active part in music through the vocal organizations than through the instrumental organizations. There are only about ten per cent of the students represented in the orchestra, whereas fifty per cent are represented in the chorus, and the other fifty per cent could be. Many people have thought that one school could not excel in both instru- mental and vocal music. This year has proved that idea to be a mistaken one. The orchestra has been working hard under the direction of Mr. Little, and is still the excellent organization it has been for a number of years. It has played some of the works of the greatest masters, including Mozart ' s Symphony in G Minor and Beethoven ' s Eroica Symphony. Six successful concerts were given during the year. The Morton Orchestra has played before the National Music Teachers ' Con- vention twice, once in Nashville and once in Cincinnati. This year, however, something different was tried. Pi ' of. Joseph E. Maddy, who was formerly super- visor here. in ' ited many of our orchestra members to come to Detroit and play in the National Iligh School ( )rchestra. which was composed of students from all over the Cnited States. This orchestra was directed by Mr. Maddy and Mr. ( Jssip Grabrilowitsch. conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. A distinctly novel feature of the year was the musical operetta. Swords and Scissors. presented under the auspices of the Girl Reserves, in cooperation with the music department. The operetta calls for a numl)er of singing actors, and its ])re.sentation called for some hard, but worth while work on the part of the participants. ' 1 he ] Iay Alusic Festival was of unusual interest. All the schools of the city were represented. The Morton chorus presented the cantata, Columbus, with Prof. Lehmann, of Earlham, taking the solo part. Other organizations repre- senting Morton were the orchestra, band, and the boys ' and girls ' glee clubs. If music be the food of love, j- Ia on.

Constance embarks on a trip to find a young man who has stolen a large sum of money from her father. She almost succeeds, when suddenly all traces of the young man are lost. At this point she meets her mother ' s friend, Mrs. Delavan, who is failing in her management of a club house. In order to assist her, Constance determines to call herself Nora O ' Brien, an Irish maid. Mrs. Delavan makes a success of Tuxedobrook through the aid of Nora ' s money and clever ideas. Constance finds romance and much, tense and lively adventure during the period of her incognito, and also captures the young man who has defrauded her father.

Besides showing us real men and women on the stage of life, the drama gives us a deeper insight into their characters and the motives upon which they act. In this respect the play has the advantage over fiction and poetry in letting us see and hear the characters. IMoreover, if we take part in plays, we must, for the time, be the characters. The study and presentation of good plays stimulates the imagination and the study of human nature, and develops good taste in literature as well as in appre- ciation of dramatic production. The theatre, as one of the oldest institutions of the world, has always been loved and upheld by civilized nations. The fact that schools and colleges everywhere are encouraging dramatics and courses in drama, is evidence of interest in life and people. The drama class has proved its worth even in the short time of its exist- ence. The increase in the membership is a sure sign of interest among the students ; the plays presented have attracted the attention of the entire school ; and the model stages have been the delight of everyone who has seen them. Acting plays before the class is a part of the regular course. It is here that one ' s ingenuity and inventiveness are heavily taxed in improvising stages and settings. Here the pupil is taught that imitation, besides being the sincerest flattery, is also the truest art. In striving to study the walk, the gesture, the voice, and the habit of the character he wishes to impersonate, he will also be unconsciously thrown into the attitude of mind and the feeling of this character. Exercises in pantomime, bodily control, and voice are a part of the preparations for presenting plays in class. A part of the work is based on the text, Acting and Play Production. In the fall semester, Two Crooks and a Lady, a clever one-act play, was given in chapel. The Dramatic Society ' s presentation of The Red Lamp was one of the successful features of the Charity Fair. Later in the year, The Klep- tomaniac was read at a 10-B chapel. Those in the class will look back with pleasure upon the impromptu presentation of numerous plays, including those contained in Webber and Webster ' s One Act Plays for Secondary Schools. The most pretentious performance of the year, aside from the senior play, was the evening program given by members of the Drama Class and the Dramatic Society. The program included Boloney, a comedy by Esther Armacost, a Morton student ; The Impertinence of the Creature by Cosmo Jordan-Lennox ; and The Travellers by Booth Tarkington. The pleasure derived from participation in these activities was due in a large measure to the enthusiasm inspired by Aliss Finfrock and to her capable direction.

Ever since that time, our school has had a weekly newspaper. So rapid has been the progress of this paper, that we scarcely realize what a striking development has taken place. From a small, four page paper, it lias become an eight page weekly. It is also no longer a financial liability, but an asset, turning over a con- siderable sum to the Student Council each year. There are two departments busy each week in getting out the finished product. The journalism class plans the paper, writes the copy, and takes care of the business interests. The printing classes set up the copy and ]M-int the paper. The Register has been a very worthwhile student activity, and it bids well to hold its place.

Although this statement, in its entirety, is not true of the present staff, there are a few who deserve particular commendation. Mabel Bortner, as editor, was all that an editor could be ; a hard and efficient worker, willing whenever necessary to sacrifice her classroom subjects to devote more time to the annual. Margeret Grant and Charliene Tice are two more outstanding members of the staff. Margeret deserves the credit for the clever personals and Charliene is responsible for the novel snap pages. Next comes Dick Harrington, our cartoonist. Dick worked faithfully to make this annual a success, at least as far as cartoons are concerned, and I feel safe in predicting that no matter what your opinion of the rest of the wnrk may be, you will say that the cartoons are the best ever. Last, but by no means least, is Miss Finfrock, who was always willing to give of her time and advice, and who always came to the rescue with a new idea, when things seemed hopeless. Norman Pilgrim.

Little WJD ' (Iocs Morton High School put teams ill the field in football, basketball, track, baseball, lenuis, s ' l ' iiiiiiiini . and golf? U ' liY does the school liaz ' e intramural (fames in basketb(dl. baseball, tenuis, and track? Why hare ten members of the faculty working in the athletic department ? JJ ' hy ha ' re athletic fields and gymnasiums in c-i ' cry proj rcssii ' c community? Each of these questions can be answered a num- ber of va ' s, but these answers can be classified rc.iuglily into two general classes, those coming from people who believe high school athletics are for the pleasure of the spectator, and those coming from people who believe that athletics are for the benefit of the athlete, the word athlete including any boy or girl who desires to participate in wholesome sport. The answers of the first group would run about as follows : Morton High School has athletic teams to win honor and glory for the community and school, and advertise the town favorably so that partisans may proudly refer to the team. Intramural games are fostered for the sole purpose of improving the varsity. Ten faculty members work in the athletic department so that a better (meaning a win- ning) team will be produced ; the boys on the team will receive better treatment from the school, the athletic element will be stronger, and the athletic rivalries will be greater, all of which will tend to make the games more interesting. Gymnasiums and athletic fields are necessary in order that the varsity teams may have a place to practice and hold interschool contests. These are mainly for the amusement of the general public interested in athletics. Now the answers of the group who believe i n athletics for the athletes : Varsity teams are put out in every branch of athletics possible in order to give as many pupils an opportunity actually to take part as are in school. Varsity teams are organized to compete with other schools, but the real reason for sports in school is to get one hundred per cent participation by the student body. Intramural leagues are organized in order to take care of those pupils who do not play on varsity squads, to give them an opportunity to learn these games, and to create a whole- some interest in play for its iwn sake. Ten faculty members are used in the athletic department so that one of the school ' s best educational forces may function properly and all sports can be given an ample and equal op- portunity in the athletic program. Good gymnasiums and athletic fields are needed so that the boys and girls of America will have a place to learn our standard games, become interested, and thus acquire a health- building, leisure time activity. The foregoing answers serve to illustrate the two ideas of high school athletics ; on the one hand the idea of athletics for the spectator, and on the other, athletics for the athletes. The second position is the only one tenable by one who has given some thought to the subject. Athletics are for the education of all youth, irrespective of athletic skill or ability to make pleasure for spectators, bring ' honor ' to a group, or satisfy the pride of partisans. High school athletics must not be dominated by outside fans, alumni, business men, or any other group, local or otherwise. .Athletics must always remain part of the educational system. When professional ideas and ideals enter into our sports, every one suffers and no one more than the athletes themselves. If all 1 ' crc holidays, to sfort zcoiihl he as tccUoiis as to ivork. TTZZ Page sixty-four m k JtlMM FOOTBALL SQUAD mnntbaU IJ? Hum WHEN Coach Little issued the call for foothall candidates last fall, all (jf his 1924 regular squad reported, with the exception of M. Parker, B. Abel, Offutt, Thomas, Murray, and C. Evans. Along with his old timers, several new men as Lefty Jones, Walter Kelsey, Scott Porter, and Jim Coe appeared to take the places left vacant by graduation. The Red Devils won their opening game at the local Exhibition Park, over Elwood, one of the best teams in the state in 1924, by a 21-0 score. Scott Porter went over for two of the touchdowns and Daddy Reeg was good for the other one. John Evans scored three pretty drop kicks to bring the score to 21. The next Saturday the Morton men journeyed to Middletown where thev tied the strong high school team there, 7-7. Porter, Reeg, and Evans again starred for the locals. But for a few slips in the last minutes of the game, Morton would have had a 7-0 victory. Ather Reeg made the prettiest catch of the season, when he received John Evans ' pass behind the goal posts for Morton ' s touchdown. Evans added the extra point. Back in Reid Field the next week Morton got revenge for their 1 ' ' 24 defeat, by trouncing Portland Hi, 25-0. Morton showed real football in this game, both on the line and in the backfield. While the whole team showed well. Walt Kelsey, Scott Porter, and Capt. Brown were the outstanding performers. The following Saturday, Roosevelt Lli, of l ayton, Ohio, jdurncyed lo tlie Quaker City and leaped over our Red Devils for a 13-0 victory. The teaiu seemed to be in pieces and not the machine they had been all season. This game was a jinx to the Red Devils as they failed to win a game the rest of the caMin. True to the jinx, Morton was taken down by the weak Wilkinson lli cle en. A weak second team i)layed the greater part of the game, and while tlic) gave their best, thev could not hold against a first team. ( rnzizz ' Delays lun ' C daiu crojis ends. Page sixtv-Uve J l)it 3P i tan Capt. Brown It was after this game that Scott Porter, star half- back, was declared ineligible and Morton was forced to forfeit all the games they had won. New Castle pulled the wool over Morton ' s eyes the next week, when twenty Red Devils and a hundred or so backers made the trip to the Trojan City and were promptly informed that New Castle only had six men with which to play, and besides, the field was too wet. Imagine a football game ' s being called off because the ground was a little wet ! Playing in mud to their ankles, Morton tied the Green- field Hi School team, 6-6, in a slow and uninteresting game on Reid Field, before a handful of people. The Marion and Morton game was also postponed on account of wet grounds. Then came our ancient rivals, Hamilton and Muncie. Old Morton with a few hundred backers went south into Ohio and tied our most formidable foe, Hamilton, by a six to six score. Reeg, Kelsey, and our diminutive little Mustard plugged holes in the Hamilton line time after time. Morton developed the most spirit it had shown for years the week preceding the final game of the year with Muncie. Red and White Week was originated by The Register, and everybody wore his school colors and tags that said for the Red Devils to Beat Muncie. Fully five hundred people followed the team to the Magic City, where Earlham and Morton were to meet Muncie Normal and Muncie Central respectively. The Muncie boys opened up an aerial attack on Richmond and were never headed, the final score being 26-0, with Morton drag- ging the goose-egg. This game brought the football careers of the following Men of Morton to a tragic close: — Ather Reeg, full back; Robert Brown, tackle; Walter Kelsey, half back; Jim Coe, end; and Don Parker, guard. Coach Little has great prospects for next year in the Evans brothers, Weaver, Mustard, Wiley, Eckenrode, Jones, Bond, Young, Noggle, and Stegall, besides the men coming up from the junior high school. Flere ' s luck to you, Coach, for 1926.

The Red Devils after a very short practice, started off well, but slowed down a bit and then alternated between a winning stride and a losing slump the rest of the season. The team ' s first and biggest blow was when Robert Alorgan i|uit scluiol to journey southward. Morton was without a good pivot man in the next few games, but soon settled down when Walter Imhoff filled Morgan ' s shoes. Morton won its first five games over Centerville, Hagerstown. Portland, Eaton, and New Castle. This string of victories was soon ended when the Red Devils journeyed to the capital city to have Technical take their scalp bv a 47-21 score. The next three straight were lost to Anderson, Shelbv. and Muncie b large scores. The next week South Side of Vt. ayne was taken into camp. . 1-2m, I ' apt. Jones scored fourteen field goals in this scrimmage. During the next two eek . Hamilton and Elwood were defeated, but Rushville and Lebanon evened tlu ' count. The Alumni won a one point victory, over the Red Hex ils. but branklin was knocked oft 46-30. The next week, the Red Devils, with fue hundretl backers, journeyed to Connersville to meet our ancient rivals. W e were handicai  petl seri- ously by the loss of Reeg, our fiashv lloorguard, due lo the death of his grand- Cupid is a kiicn ' ish lad thus to make pooi- females mad. ' ' xr Page sixtN-nine 3J l)it t iitr-inrt SECOND TEAM mother. Taking an early lead, the Spartans held ofif the Red Devil fight, and when the final gun was shot, the score read 33-33. In the overtime Morton made but two points, while Connersville piled her score to 36. Then came the final game of the season with the Bedford enemies, at that time possessors of the Brick. Reeg was still out of the game and Morton seemed very pepless ; whereas Bedford was all primed for a fight, and they ran awav with our Red Devils, 47-23. They kept the Brick until the semi-finals of the state, when they lost it to Martinsville. The following week, Morton disposed of Whitewater, Hagerstown, and Brownsville, to win the sectional crown. This was probably the best sectional ever staged in Richmond, both in attendance and games. The next Saturday, in the Rushville Regional, a very ragged Morton team lost to Aurora, 35-20. After all is said and done,, the Red Devils did not do so badly, and we are proud of them for their fight. Twelve games were won and eleven lost. With Jones, ' oss, and Klotz to build around, we are looking forward to next season, when we expect to win the state championship. Don ' t disappoint us, boys.

Lefty was our high scorer this year with 80 field goals and 30 fouls to his credit. We expect great things from him next year. ATHER DADDY REEG. Record, three years at floorguard. Captain, 1926. Jebuba was the fighting spirit of the team and a great leader. Morton will lose one of its greatest athletes when Ather is handed his sheepskin in June. EREDERICK FRED KLOTZ. Record, two years at guard and center. Fred was cheated out of an all state position by Morton ' s failure to go to the state. Few enemies got by our stone wall. He has another year. KENNETH KENNY VOSS. Record, two years at forward. Kenny is our side-short, arch artist and ranked second only to Lefty for scoring hon- ors. Our little dribbler has one more year to wear a Red Devil outfit. WALTER WALT KELSEY. Record, two years at forward. Walt had a little trouble with his studies the first of the year, but was going strong by mid-season. He graduates. WALTER IMMY IMHOFF. Record, one year at center. Walt is a product of St. Andrews and came to Morton to take Robert Morgan ' s place at center. After a little coaching, Immy developed into a first class pivot man. He grad- uates this June. ROBERT HORSE BROWN. Record, two years at guard. Sickness set Bob back a little at the start, but at Christmas time he was raving to go and helped out at the guard positions. Robert has to leave us this year according to the rules of the class of 1926. JAMES RED COE. Record, two years at center. Dog-Ears was a fine relief man and was an asset to the Morton, team. Red is a three letter man, but we will have to kiss him good-bye after this track season is over, as he graduates. JOHN JOHNNY LACEY. Record, two years at forward. Johnny was ineligible the first part of the year, but broke into the playing in time to win himself a position on the tourney squad. He graduates. EVERETT TOOTHLESS HOSEA. Record, two years at forward. Everett alternated with Kelsey and Laccy at forward this ear and contributed quite a bit to the Morton scoring column. He graduates from dear old Morton this car.

' Page seventy-two l it i i iar TRACK SQUAD Srark S Hum UNDER the leadership of Coach Mathews and Captain Coe, 3iIorton had a very successful track season. Like other spring athletic teams, the track team lacked outdoor practice owing to the unfavorahlc weather, and they lost their first meet, which was held at Anderson in a driving snow storm. The Anderson track was slow, and although the Red Devils fought hard, they could not overcome the advantage of the home team. Reeg, Coe, and Bond starred. On April 24, Manual of Indianapolis was defeated l)y a score of 58-41. The largest crowd of several years was out, mainly to see Owen Huntsman of Earlham, who had placed second in the Penn . late Decathlon at Philadelphia the day before. Earlham won tlieir meet with DePauw at the same time. Reeg, Coe, and Bond were again the bright lights. The team still had two meets when these few words went to press, and prospects looked good for Red Devil victories. Reeg, ISond, A oss. Eckenrode, and Coe look good to go to the state finals at Tech later in the spring. Several of the main point getters graduate this year. He fires betimes that s iirs too fast betimes. @ Page sevfiitv-tliro 5 t) it iitt inn BASEBALL SQUAD MORTON put an inexperienced baseball team in the field this year, but the result was far from that expected. Though handicapped by the lack of practice due to cold weather, the Red Devils pulled themselves to- gether and had a real season. Much credit should be given the coach, Mr. Mathews. After many postponed games, Morton finally opened her season with Boston, on the latter ' s diamond. Tom Brooks, a new man at lorton, went the entire route in the box and turned in a nice game, pulling himself out of the pinches in fine shape. With the batting aid of Jones, Voss, and Klotz, Morton won by a 3-3 score. The following Alonday, a return engagement was played at home. John Lacey was on the mound for the Red Devils. Jones and Voss again went on a hitting spree and along with Johnny ' s perfect control, led Morton to an easy 20-2 victory. April 23, Whitewater came to Richmond with high hopes of winning a ball game, but their hopes were shattered, and they went home with the short end of a 24-8 score. We have at the present writing a perfect record of three games won, and the team is improving every game. Morton ' s best line-up seems to be : Dud Cartwright, catch ; Klotz, first ; Reeg, second ; Voss, third ; Daily, short ; Daugherty, Jones, and Reeves, field ; and Brooks, Lacey, and Jones, pitch. Pegg, IcAdams, Puckett, Corsi, and Winburn are utility men. There ' s no better sign of a brave mind than a hard hand. ( Page seventy-four 3i CI) It ii r-ian TENNIS TEAM ®?ttnt0 Eeaum MORTON puts every form of athletics in the tield. and con- sequently a tennis team is formed every year. Some very good talent is shown in this sport, and it gives more fellows opportunity to represent their school and win their letters. Dick Harrington, tennis champion of Morton, is captain of the team, and Ezra A ' liller, faculty member, is the manager and coach. He is assisted by ' illiam Penery, ' 25. These two help the others along with the finer points of the game and usually produce a good team. Fred Foley and the Evans brothers finish up the team. At the time of this writing, they are handicapped by the poor weather. l)ut with better weather in prospect, they expect to get in some hard practice in anticipation of a stilt schedule. ' ' How use doth breed a habit in a man! ' Page seventy-tive l)it S iitt itir i SWIMMING TEAM MC)RTC)X put their second swimming team in the field tliis year with liopes of winning the state championship. Three men were sent to the state meet last year and third place was taken. This year Leonard Mow, coach of the state champion Y team, was appointed coach and regular practice sessions were held. In a dual meet between the Y Aquatic Club and the Red Devil Water Men, the Y team was victorious by a goodly margin, but Morton ' s main men were on the Y team. Hampered by the absence of their star swimmer. Bob Brown, due to illness, the team traveled to Columbus, Indiana, on April 30, 1926, and were again rewarded with third place for their gallant efi:orts. Finley Bond won the fancy diving in good style. Finley has won many times in this event for the Y Aquatic Club. Francis Peacock took a hard second in the 80 yard breast stroke, and Morton ' s fun maker, Johnson Healy, took a fourth. Walter Reynard, a sophomore, took a fourth place in the 100 yard dash, and again in the 40 yard back stroke. These men brought Morton of Richmond a total of eleven points, just under Technical High School of Indianapolis, who finished second with twelve points. Emerson of Gary is the state champion, with a total of fifteen points. We are proud of our swimmers, even if we could not win the state cham- pionship. INlost of the team will be back next year, and we have high hopes of taking the state championship. Wise men ne ' er sit and wail their loss. 0 Page seventy-six 5 3 i r ian sM Jntra-ilural Atl|ldtrs FOR the benefit of those hoys who (Hd not make the varsity teams, Forton put on a series of intra-mural contests. During the basketball season, a league was formed and a regular schedule was plaved. The teams fought nip and tuck for the cliampionship, hut Fr. Nevue ' s team, captained by Im ' u liond, pulled through and captured the title. ( )n Alay 13, an intra-mural track and field meet was held. The teams were divided according to classes, and the members appointed their captains. The seniors, captained by Claire livans, won last year ' s meet. A series of baseball games were played during the spring months, the teams again representing the three classes. Intra-mural athletics gives every boy a chance to engage in athletic , and it creates better sportsmanshi]) aiuong the fellows. He on a team should be the motto of every high school boy. [f ' f cannot all hr inastcis. TE Page seventy-seven i) )it t iitt inrx ($xvi Atl Utxts THE Morton girls had one of the most successful basketball seasons that they have known for several years. Class teams were organized imme- diately after Thanksgiving, and a tournament was held, the teams taking the i-esponsibility of getting the needed pi-actice. The llB ' s won this tournament. Senior, junior and sophomore teams were then picked from the players in the first tourney, and a second one was held. The juniors again took the cham- pionship. In both meets, the seniors won every game except those played with juniors. After the tournaments, a. first and second varsity w ere chosen, and these two teams played the final game of the season. The members of the first varsity were : forwards, Ruth Miller and Margeret Thompson ; centers, Elsa Peacock and Mildred Miller ; guards, Sarah O ' Maley and Martha Tyner. Those on the second varsity were : forwards. Marguerite Muckridge and Mar- jorie Thistlethwaite ; centers, Lola Haas and Florence Watkins; guards, Min- erva DeHaven and Marie Mackey. A new spring sport is listed for the athletically-inclined girl, namely, indoor baseball. This game is to replace spring hockey. There are various reasons for the change, the most important being that it is much easier to find a base- ball diamond than a hockey field. Moreover, baseball is more popular at this time of the year. The girls are coached in the gym classes, preparatory to the outdoor season, which begins as soon as weather permits. Track and field work also held an important place in the spring schedule. The annual track and field meet between Morton girls was held, ribbons being awarded to the winners of the events. The girls are handicapped by the lack of equipment, and because of this they were forced to omit several events. Relays, dashes, distance throws, and the broad jump composed the events. Tennis is another of the organized sports. An annual tennis tournament is held. Many girls enter the contest enthusiastically, and it has become one of the most popular of girls ' athletic events. Hockey is the most important fall sport. It is welcomed much more at this time of the year than in the spring, because the weather makes the playing conditions more favorable. It is necessary for the girls to hike about two miles to the playing field, but this has seemingly made the sport more popular than ever, and many girls enjoy this form of recreation. The Girls ' Athletic Association has greatly increased the interest in girls ' athletics. Awards are made to members of the clubs who have a certain number of required points. These points are earned in various ways, such as playing basketball, swimming, and riding. This year, Alice Moelk, Margeret Kemper, Ruth Brindell, Lola Haas, and Marie Mackey received awards.

MAY 29, 1941 + Price S ' Nuff First Radioscope Station to be Dedicated STATION BIFF TO BROADCAST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION- SHIP BOUT Gardner-Guthrie Go Biggest of Year. BOTH MEN IN PINK OF CONDITION Station BIFF, Peoria, will broadcast the Floyd Gardner-Howard Guthrie f.ght for the heavyweight championship of the world, to be held in that city on IVfonday. The fight is scheduled to start prompth ' at 9 o ' clock, Central Standard time. Don Parker, internationally known sport editor of the Morton Register, will be at the microphone, so a rare treat is in store for the fans. Both fighters have been training hard, and are in top-notch condition. Gard- ner, the present champion, is favored by many liecause of his greater ex- jierience. He is the veteran of many fierce fistic battles, and his superior ring judgment should stand him in good stead. On the other hand, Guthrie, the challenger, although comparatively in- experienced, has the spirit and fire of youth, and with the crown within reach, should put up a great fight. Bob Brown, famous Yale football coach, and general authority on all ath- letics, will referee. Brown is noted for his attacks on the corrupt management of recent bouts, and his presence in the ring insures a scjuare deal to both fighters. The preliminaries will not be broad- cast round by round, but the results will be announced before the main go. BEST LOVED HUMORIST FOR- MER RESIDENT OF OUR CITY Richnidnd ' s glory never ceases. Max Campbell, the best known and loved radio humorist, was once a resident of Richmond. In a recent newspaper article, she attributed her cleverness to the incidents and friends of her high school days. Her friends have been the inspiration of a great many carica- tures. NOTED LECTURER-TEACHER AT TUSKEGEE Geneva Burke, instructor in English at 7 ' uskegee Institute, will give a lec- ture entitled Tuskegee Gains Inter- national Prominence over station ???? Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday of this week. She is widely known, both as teacher and lecturer, and has won the admiration of a wide public. Proi. Ro er Lir.dley Prof. Roger Lindley, the inventor of the radioscope, said during an interview today, that he had been interested in and worked on the radioscope since his high school days. He stated that he cherished the idea even when he spent his time in the vicinity of the second floor hall, back in the old Morton school buildin.g. GEORGE BATT ' S TOOTERS NATIONALLY PROMINENT The most popular organization ot radio entertainers of the present year promises to be the famous Batt Tooters.

Their director, Mr. George Batt, a nationally famous cornetist, has an- nounced that he has refused offers of a tour abroad, to fill his radio engage- ments here. Other tooters are Mr. Cor- win Beach, Mr. Charles Hodskin. and Mr. Keith Harris. RICHMOND WOMAN DIRECTS SET-UPS One of ihe most interesting of the regular features from the new Rich- mond station is the s. steni of set-up exercises, broadcast from the Y. W. C. A. Aliss Kathryn Chrisman. the di- rector, has proved very efficient so far. She gets on an average of fifty tele- grams a dav, telling how beneficial her up-sets are for reihieing. LINDLEY ' S INVENTION TO BE DEMONSTRATED TO PUBLIC THIS WEEK station Bunk to Broadcast Initial Program The leading inventiim of the year, the radioscope, is to be demonstrated to the public Thursday of this week. Profes- sor Lindley ' s invention of this new and wonderful device of seeing everything over the radio, as well as hearing every- thing, promises to be the most important accomplishment of the decade. The initial program will be broadcast from station BUNK, the Andy Gump Gum Drop Company, Richmond, In- diana. This is a new station, erected primarily for the purpose of introducing this invention. Howard McPherson, the owner of the company has shown wonderful interest and co-operation in financing the station. There was some question about locating the station there, because of the liability of getting gum drops and wires mixed, but this was settled when Donald Boylan, manager of the station, announced that it wouldn ' t make any difference. Many interesting features have been planned for the test pro,gram. RADIOSCOPE PROGRAM Light Operetta Shears and Sabers One (if the most interesting of all the radio programs will be the light operetta Shears and Sabers written by Helen Snarr, a Richmond author of wide re- nown. The play will be broadcast from station BUNK of this city. It will be the first time in the history of the radio world that an - iirograni has been broadcast in such a way that it can be seen by the radio fans. Miss Snarr received her inspiration for this play from McFarland ' s Swords and Scissors, which was produced by her schoolmates during her high school da ' s. The main characters oi the operetta are : Olga Della- ' os Kardovoska Katharine Parrish Joan Jukoxski Edna Scott Modest Falilee Pauline Spaulding Bonite Bobyshev Mary Torbeck Loliski Boksheev Marian Berman Peter Petroviehe - I ' .llis Bevingtou Leonard Turhanski Sherman Bullcrdick ' ictor ' asnetsov Lowell KUaman Isaac Brodski Herman Pilgrim (.ContiiUKHl on page 21 Page Two THE RICHMOND RADIO HERALD May 29, 1941- THE RICHMOND RADIO HERALD Found (in Ash Can) First Edition, 1941 + Pul)lisher Will iir Pnnd Publishing Co.

Mgr Lowell Elleman Staff Pauline Spaulding EDITORIAL This being the first edition of the HERALD, it is our humble privilege and duty to take our pen in hand, dip it into the ink, and type out a little ex- planation of the purposes and policies of this future great paper. First of all, our purpose is to keep the radio public informed on all the new developments in radio. It is our great fortune to carry in our very first issue, the story of the initial program over Prof. Lindley ' s marvelous and world - revolutionizing invention, the radio-scope. In addition to this, we purpose to puljlish what we consider (and we are authorities) the best pro- grams to be offered during the week. You will find these programs to be the choicest bits of boloney obtainable. Finally, (for the benefit of our readers, of course) we will carry a number of ads of the most trustworthy merchants of our great city. We, are very sorry to say that we must necessarily limit the space for ads. So many business men want to use this medium, that we are forced to choose (and again our judg- ment is irreproachable) the firms most deserving the great benefit which our paper can give them. There is just one word of explanation in regards to the price, S ' Nuff. This is not a new coin, made especially for the purpose, but it simply means that you can have a paper if you can bear to read it. If you want to hear something real good, tune in on Station O at Podunk, at 9:30 Sunday night. Dick ' n ' Bill are right there when it comes to operatic airs.

' O rai;;e iiincty-one Ct)i jp i 2: 1 i a ti iHnrton i l|arka Well, that ' s over! I never thought I ' d be able to stay down that long. Did ja ' get tired, Harrington? Notsa ' very. I had a College Humor with me, so I didn ' t mind. But, say, what was the idea rockin ' the boat so hard at first? I had to walk to the South Pole to get Max McCune ' s picture. She cer- tainly earned her title as Charleston Shark. I got a picture of your friend Sloppy (Claire) Evans down there. He ' s a great Loafing SharJc. How well 1 know it. Say, Norm, you didn ' t see any more of my friends down there, did ja ' ? I certainly did. 1 heard someone say, ' I ' ll bite, what is it? ' and knew at once it must be Jim Coe. There he was floating along just as he did up at Morton as Hall Shark. He was talking to Arthur Mains. Chemistry Shark, who, true to form, was busily engaged extracting the sodium chloride from the brine. Say, when I told Jimmie and Arthur to behave themselves while I snapped their homely mugs, Jim told me I ' d better save my films for some of the more beauti- ful inhabitants of the deep, who were Morton ' s four heart-breakers. Bob Brown, the Football Shark, . ther Reeg, the Basketball Shark, Walter Imhofl: , the Sheik Shark, and Donald Boylan, the Latin Shark. Donald was just reading ' Arma ' irumque cano, ' to pacify them after a heated discussion on the eternal question, ' The Fair Sex. ' While we were talking, who should swim by but Tillie longer, the Vamp Shark, so I sna pped her. Did you evade her attentions, or wasn ' t she in a vamping mood? Never mind. She told me where I could find another of our friends, the Sleeping Shark, Vierl Cutler, sleeping in the midst of a clump of seaweeds. I managed to arouse him long enough to get his picture. Then I strolled along the bottom, picking up coral. I stuml)led onto a protractor and compass, so I knew Edna Manford, our Math Shark, must not be far away. After some exploration, I began to ascend, thinking perhaps I was mistaken. Just then I saw Boylan, Brown, Reeg, and Imhofi come swimming toward me, and I snapped them. They said they had just seen Edna with Peg Kemper, so I hurried on. Well, did you ever find them? How do you ' spose I got their pictures if I didn ' t? It wasn ' t long until I heard a female voice say, ' Well, if a batted ball travels 38 4 inches a second, Peg, how far will it go in 10 minutes ? ' and someone, who sounded like Peg Kemper, drawled, ' 1 rather imagine it would depend on the outfielders, Edna. ' I knew that answer belonged to the Clever Shark, so I took their pictures. Say, Norm, didn ' t ya ' get George Peacock, the Talking Shark? I don ' t see how you could miss hearin ' him anyway. Oh, yes. Peg told me that he was practicing an oration to deliver to the Poor Fishes Convention, and that he was over near a coral reef. I journeyed on in that direction, and soon heard the voice of our great orator. I didn ' t wish to disturb him so I just snapped him and traveled on. After almost having an accident by getting tangled up in the wireless of the Radio Shark, Charles Youngflesh, I took his picture. I overtook Everett Hosea, the Whistling Shark, who was so bus_ ' whistling that he didn ' t even see me. My, but I ' m glad that ' s over! Well, maylte it was fun waiting on you in that hot sun! Say, but it ' s going to be a humdinger of a page for the annual, isn ' t it? Your talc. sir. icould cure deafness.

It suddenly occurred to Aunt Harriet that Barliara bad never seen Sandy, for, although he was the head gardener and the most trusted of all the em- ployees, he had con-ie to Elm Farms only a short lime before Barbara ' s ar- rival, having served a friend of the girls ' father for several years. Don ' t worry, said Bobby. How does he look? I ' ll find bini. He ' s tall and rather voung. I think you ' ll lind bim at the end of the lane. You ' ll know him by his sandy hair. Bobby went off, hands in pockets, bat pushed back, and her lips i)uckered in a whistle. At the end of the lane she came upon a tall voung man with eyes that twinkled and hair that was a shade rather dark to be called sandy. Still, Bobby reasoned, people around here are nicknanied ridiculou things. There ' s that old luan thev call Whitie lone , and he ' s as black as shoe-polish. Aloud she called, Hello! Flello! said be. 1 suppose vou ' re lUibbv Nelson! You ' ve guessed it! she smiled. Where are you going? ' Why, he said, Itujking surprised, no jjlace. Bol)])v lau -hed. The sea hath hounds, but dccj desire liath )u ne ( Ti I ' .-iae niiu ' lv-l ' ivi l) it iitt inrt Then come with me, she said. I ' m taking a walk to escape a hideous man. Sounds interesting, he remarked, but suppose you come with me. I meant to take a long tramp up into the woods to see an old well which is reputed to be haunted. Haunted? cried Bobby, delightedly. O, good! I never saw anything really haunted. Let ' s go! They started out across a wooded space which Bobby had never explored. As they walked, the young man told her of haunted houses he had seen and gruesome ghost stories he had read. Bobby, being fascinated by the super- natural, listened with unafiected interest and delight. When he finished, he turned the conversation to birds and showed her many interesting ones which she had never seen. Further on, they found a little spring and both stooped to drink of the icy water that bubbled over the stones. Tell me about this ' hideous man ' , he said, after they had walked on. My curiosity is aroused. Bobl:)y laughed and made a wry face. His name, she said, is Kenneth Worthington. Imagine that! He ' s com- ing to manage Elm Farms while dad ' s away. I hate him in advance, for I just know he ' s detestably conceited ! Strong language. smiled her companion. Anyway, you ' re escaping him. He must be far behind. Perhaps. How far have we come, Sandy? About seven miles, he answered. But why do you call me ' Sandy ' ? Bobby stopped in frozen horror. Why — aren ' t you Sandy Jones? she faltered. I ' m sorry, he said, apologetically. I never heard of him. Bobby drew a long breath and tried to speak casually. I ' ve mistaken you for someone else, she stammered, so perhaps you ' ll tell me your name. Excuse me, said he, with a smile, if I refuse to reveal my identity. Shall we go on? Bobby thought quickly. If this wasn ' t Sandy, who could it be? It couldn ' t be Worthington, for he was not due to arrive for an hour. Yet, who was it, if not he? Suddenly a horrifying- thought flashed across her mind. The jewel thief! She had heard the description of him over the radio, and it said he had auburn hair! He had been known to murder people for their jewels! Bobby put her hand to her head. No, she said, I feel sort of dizzy. I ' m not used to walking so far, you know. Hadn ' t we better go back? You can ' t go back that way, he laughed. That ' s northeast. Oh ! breathed Bobby. I thought it was south. I — I don ' t think I could ever find my way home from here. I ' m sure you couldn ' t. If you ' re dizzy, sit down and rest. Bobby dropped down on a log nearby and unbuttoned her jacket at the throat. She felt that she was choking. The young man watched her thoughtfully. That necklace you ' re wearing is very lovely, he remarked, suddenly. Bobby gasped and clutched at her throat. There was the beautiful emerald necklace that had been her great-grandmother ' s. She had tried it on and had forgotten to take it off again. It must be worth a fortune, he continued. It is very costly, said Bobby, with the calmness of despair. Why tell him otherwise? He knew the value of a jewel! Heat not a furnace for your foe so Jiot that it do singe yourself. Page ninety-six 5 Ctyi S iitt in,n ig htly. I ' m a collector of came in short She wondered you ' ll have to away. If you She shut her eyes ■ any sounds from I wish it was mine, said her comjianion rare jewels. Bobby shuddered and turned her head away. Her breath gasps as she sat tighting the impulse to spring up and run. dully how far it was to the nearest house. If I faint from dizziness, she beg-an, trying to sound gay, dash to the nearest house for some smelling salts. ' ery likely ! said he. The nearest house is four miles faint, I ' ll throw you in the creek ! He sounded as if he meant it, too. Bobby didn ' t faint. and pretended to be resting, l)ut her ears were listening fr her companion. Presently he rose. Glancing furtively rounti, Bobb}- caught sight of a long, sharp blade and shuddered. So he was going to cut her throat ! But she was disappointed, for, instead of advancing, he walked away, and after searching for a while, cut a stout stick which he brought toward her. Bobby feared he had changed his mind and had decided to beat her to death. However, he only presented the stick to her and said, Help yourself along with this. Do you feel well enough to start? Bobby nodded and followed him. She had no desire to go on, but anything was better than sitting silent while an escaped desperado prowled around her. They went another mile, the young man talking amiably and Bobby re- sponding in monosyllables. Presently they came upon the well. It ' s very old, he told her, and people say it ' s haunted. I don ' t know the legend concerning it, but I ' ve been told that it ' s very gruesome. This well was the scene of a murder, I believe. Bobby thought it might soon be the scene of another. The idea was not inviting, so she banished it and turned back to the narrow, winding path. He followed her in silence. Just around the curve, they came to a low shack half hidden by bushes and trees. The young man went inside, and Bobby was wondering whether she could fasten the door from the outside, when he called to her. Bobby! he said. Come here! It sounded like the voice of Bluebeard. Bobby went to the door, feeling as Fatima must have felt as she descended into the dungeon. So this was his plan. He would kidnap her and hold her for a ransom. He knew her father was wealthy and no one would find her here ! Resolutely, she looked up, expecting to be hurled upon the floor and bound hand and foot. Her companion, however, had the most kindly and innocent of expressions upon his face as he said, See where some little bird built its nest last summer. It is still here. Bobby drew a breath of relief. When she had finished examining the nest, she glanced about the cabin. She saw that it had fallen to ruin and no one could possible live in it. Well ! said the young man. Perhaps we ' d better start back. It ' s grow- ing darker and those clouds look like snow. Bobby ' s heart leaped. Perhaps he had given up his plan! After all, he had decided not to murder this one person who trusted him, even though she w as the possessor of a wonderful piece of jewelry ! Snow? she asked. Why, it surely can ' t be snow ihi-- lime of ear! I know it ' s rather late in spring to ha •e a snowstorm, but the winds are growing colder. Can you walk faster? . Bobby was only too glad to do so. Despite her companion ' s assurance tliat they were going southward, she was sure they were going ciist until familiar landmarks set her right. Small li( lits arc soon bUn ' ii out. hmjc fires abiiL W r.ipe ninety-seven 3 l) it t ntt-inrt The young man chose a different path that led through low, wooded valleys where they were shielded from the wind. When they had gone about five miles, it suddenly began to snow so hard that they could see only a short distance ahead. The sky grew very dark and just then, they descended into a deep valley which made it darker than before. Bobby stumbled wearily along. Suddenly her companion caught her arm and whirled her about. Taken by surprise, Bobby emitted a shriek which would have scared a hardened Indian out of his moccasins. What the deuce ? began the young man, in a surprised voice. Oh you f frightened me a little, gasped Bobby. Evidently, he answered. Take off that sweater. Bobby drew it off, shuddering. He threw it over his broad shoulders and made the girl put on his heavy sheepskin coat. But i 1 can hardly stagger in this, she protested. It ' s so big! Snap into it! he ordered. There is no time to lose. You ' ll catch a cold. But, you Go on! I ' ve got to get you home, child! So he was taking her home ! Home ! Bobby was so delighted that she forgot to reprove him for calling her a child. She never forgot the remainder of that walk. She, who had never been required to obey anyone, was ordered about by this desperado like a mere infant. He made her jump low fences, crawl under high ones, walk trestles, and run up hills imtil she was breathless. The wind made her eyes water, but she didn ' t even have time to dry them. He laughed and said, Tears, idle tears. I wonder what they mean ! Why ! broke out Bobby, stopping short. Yes, he nodded. It ' s Shakespeare. I ' m not such a bum as you think. Bobby felt very humble. Presently they reached Elm Place, and Aunt Harriet, who had seen them through the window, came running out. Barbara! she exclaimed. I ' ve been so worried! Come in and Why, Kenneth Worthington ! How did you get here? I thought you weren ' t coming. I changed my mind, he smiled. Won ' t you pardon my tardiness and give me some tea? Of course ! Come in, both of you. You ' ll be coming down with pneu- monia if you aren ' t careful! .She rushed inside to prepare tea, leaving Bobby outside staring at her companion in astonishment and chagrin. Well, Miss Nelson he said teasingly. O, don ' t ! cried Bobby. You never will forget those awful things I said about you. It was too unjust! Please don ' t remember them because I I ' ve changed my mind about you. Hear my confession, he said. I ran oft ' from your aunt ' s tea this after- noon to keep from meeting you. I imagined ou were spoiled and conceited. Altogether hateftil ! But please don ' t remember that becattse I I ' ve changed my mind about you. And I thought you were a jewel thief! said Bobby, mournfully. You what? Bobby told him all the fears and suspense she had felt that afternoon when she thought he was a desperado, seeking a way in which to murder her for her necklace. Kenneth Worthington roared with laughter. He stood on the steps and laughed until Aunt Harriet called to ask him for an explanation. There ' s your aunt, he said, wiping his eyes. Let ' s go in and tell her this joke. It ' s great. And. Bobby how about another hike tomorrow? A siibsfitiifc sitiiics hri(jhfly as a king, iiiifil a king be b ' .

In 1924 the Richmond Item said : While we are speaking of George Crocker, we ' d like to mention that he ' s the fellow whose likeness we ' d like to have cut out in everlasting marble and set up some- where prominently as ' The Ideal Rooter. ' Morton never can realize what a friend he ' s l)een to the school and to the team. When the season opened in 1925, the sports editor of the Blooming-ton Star wrote Mr. Crocker for a poem on the famous Victory Brick, stating that he knew of no one who was better qualified to express the sentimen.ts dedicating the little hunk of clay. The residt must have been pleas- ing to the editor, who paid the following compliment : The result was beyond all expectations, and our basket!  a]l poet has won a debt of gratitude. Some of Mr. Crocker ' s best poems are: Honorable Mention, Who ' s Who?, Bobbed-Haired Basket Queens, Basketball in Heaven, You Can ' t Keep ' Em Down, The Lone Grave, Our High School Paper, Our lorton Girl, A Jinx that Passed in the Night, and To the Class of 26. We are pleased to print one of his finest poems : George Crocker YOU CAN ' T KEEP ' EM DOWN At last 1 have won all the wagers That I placed on our basketball team, So here ' s to those Red Devil cagers Who jarred me from out of my dream. They have banished my doubt and my sorrow, And maintained our high school ' s renown ; Let ' s boost them today — not tomorrow. For you can ' t keep the Red Devils down. Some say that the team is a lnibl)le. And they argue of doubt and of fear, But why should we fail them in trnuble, Or forsake them when vict ' ry is near? The world will be so much the brighter If we laugh at its sneer and its frown, And the hearts of the team will be lighter. For you can ' t keep the Red Devils down. There ' s many whose friendship has blundered. And are lost to the pleasure it brings. I can count them today by the hundred, Whose friendship — like riches — had wings. I demand that they stand at attention And salute the team all over town : Then Fd swell up with pride whe n I mention They can ' t keep the Red Devils down. So now as I draw liack the curtain And reveal the great school and its worth. In the ])ast. witli a future uncertain, Toda ' there ' s no better on earth. And the team, yea the team goes to conquer In lluir school ' s mighty race for the crown: Let Us take olT our hats to their honor. For you can ' t keep the Red Oexils down.

Bate Supcriiitcndcui Walter JNIcConaha Treasurer WiLLARD CaRR Secretary Walter Reid President THE school board is the heart of Richmond ' s school system. Through its steady guidance lorton has grown to l)e one of the outstanding schools of Indiana. It selects our teachers, takes care of all the build- ings, and keeps a constant watch to see that Morton and all other schools in Richmond are managed in the best manner. The student body some- times forgets that there is a school board, and many students do not know how much they do for us. The staff takes this opportunity to introduce to you. fellow students, the school board members ; also to thank them for all their efforts and hard work to make Morton a school of which we are justly proud.

Ah, there yovi have the worst paid, and ■L Vthe hest rewarded, of all the vocations. l!)are not to enter it unless you love it. h ' or the vast majority of men and women it has no promise of wealth or fame, hut thev, to whom it is dear for its own sake, are among the nobility of mankind. I sing the praise of the unkn(jwn teacher. Great generals win campaigns, but it is the unknown soldier who wins the war. Famous educators plan new systems of pedagogy, but it is the un- known teacher who delivers and guides the young. He lives in ob- scurity and contends with hardsliip. hor him no trumpets blare, no chariots wait, no golden decorations are decreed. He keeps the watch along the borders of darkness and makes the attack on the trenches of ignorance and folly. Patient in his daily duty, he strives to con- cjuer the evil powers which are the enemies of youth. He awakens sleeping spirits. He quickens the indolent, encourages the eager, and steadies the unstable. He communicates his own joy in learning, and shares with boys and girls the best treasures of his mind. He lights many candles which, in later years, will shine back to cheer him. This is his reward. Knowledge may be gained from Ijooks ; but the love of l nowledge is transmitted only by personal contact. No one has deserved Ijetter of the republic than the unknown teacher. No one is more worthv to be enrolled in a democratic aristocracy, king of himself and servant of mankind.

Page fourteen nncvB ULUiii Anna Bradbury E The Bold man cz ' cr is tlic better man al- thoiijjli he eomes from far. ' ' ER since 1 can rememljer. and doul)tless long before, the over-confidenct of youth has been one of the favorite subjects of the middle-aged, a matter to he laughed about or growled over accord- ing to the nature or the mood of the speaker. That very confident and fearless youth does exist. We all know him. He does not need my motto. But it seems to me that most young people, in their early contacts with the world and the job, sutler rather from lack of self-confidence than from excess of it. It is they who may be helped by re- membering what the ancient Greek we call Homer knew long ago. He had not heard of fear complexes and he was not talking to high school seniors. But he had poetic insight and he lived in what we now call the youth of our civilization. He knew that fearlessness wins half the battle. If you have learned at IMorton that there is something that you can do better than the rest of us, keep right on doing things as much like it as possible. You will find you can still excel at them. Try to give real service, to be happy about it, and above all to do it without fear. Miss Br.xdbury.

The body became known as the School Council, and has existed ever since. Although no criminal code or set of written laws has ever been made by this group, it has served one fundamental pur- pose ; that is, it has acted as the voice of the student body and as the voice of the faculty. Composed as it is, of the leaders in the school, and sponsored by the principal, its authority on all (|uestions is accepted. The projects for this year were: sponsoring assembly pro- grams, awarding letters, adopting the new report cards, and makine a financial budget for 1927-28. p.rTrmi Page forty-two tiiityj ©Iff iFarultg auJi titJn? nt iKauagfra ANY business that is to be successful must l)e proi)erly man- aged.

Thev nuist be efficient, willing workers, continually giving more than they can possibly hope to receive, working that we may enjoy the pleasure that these organizations atiord us.

So runs that old saying which is so familiar to us all. ( )ne might add that it has the power to precipitate one into any mood in the gamut of human feelings. Because of this power it has hecome estahlished in a permanent place in our school life to raise us aliove the plane of the ordinary to those heights to which only good music can elevate one. ( )ur school spirit finds expression in the school song as it can in no other place or way, and so the emoticMis whicli affect us in life can he expressed hest in music. luch of the success music has attained in [Morton is undouhtedly due to the excellent guidance and direction of the men who have headed the music department in our .school. Our deht to them extends beyond monetary values, and so we have hoped that hv dedicating to them this annual we might in some degree express to them our gratitude. The results of their eft ' orts stand before and within us as a lasting monument to their wonderful work. Richmond has for many years been recognized as an art and musical cen- ter of some little importance, so it seems only natural that these forces should find expression in our .schools. (_)ur orchestra has attained a nation-wide reputa tion while the hand follows close behind. Fhe vocal organizations which have recently been re-established took an instant and firm hold in the schools and face a future which ])romises much. Page forty-four israr luj THE BAND The concerts given by the orchestra are well patronized by the students and the music-loving public, while the band is, perhaps, best known for its work at the athletic contests and its serenades. The glee clubs assist at the orchestra concerts and are always greatly appreciated by the listeners. X ' arious organi- zations and institutions of the city have always found the musicians of Morton more than willing to lend their eiTorts for the Ijenefit of a worthy cause. This, probably more than any other rea.son, has contributed to their ]K)pularity. The B Orchestra is the largest secondary orchestra Morton has ever had. Mr. Boson has made it very interesting by shifting the plavers to various places, and by individual playing each meeting. Students must play in this orchestra before entering A orchestra. This year the orchestra which consisted of soph- omores only, numbered approximately forty. The A ( )rchestra, under the careful directorsliip of Mr. I ' lostni. cinnpleted a very successful season, featuring local musicians as soloists for the concerts. The soloists were: Miss W ' ilhnan, i ianist ; Professor Marlowe Dean, of l- ' arlham College, bass: Lloyd (Jutland, violinist: Ruth RoUukI. cellist: and Arthur uiult, oboist. The concert given with the band was also interesting and success! ul. The orchestra is one of the peppiest organizations (if the - chonl and eeni to have a good social time ever ' school _ -ear. lA er ' tall the orchestra members look forward to a hayride. which has been the autumn e ent oi the o clK ' tr:l for many years past. The hayride this year led to .Vrthur (.iiult ' s home on the SSDU THE B ORCHESTRA Middleboro Pike. The members had a big supper at the Foot of the Hill Inn during the winter season, which was talked about for some time afterwards. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed himself at the annual banquet which was held at the end of the school year to say farewell to the seniors. The jMorton High School Band, under the direction of Coach Little, has been kept very busy this year. The band is approximately the largest band the school has had for a numljer of years, consisting of about forty members. It has contributed a great deal, in fact, more than any other organization, to school and city activities. Mienever asked to assist in putting over a program, Mr. Little was always ready and willing to do his part. The band was enlarged by the arrival of many good players from Test and Dennis. Pep was put into the Charity Fair with the helj) of the band. They played in the Armistice Day Parade, and at the dedication of the new Hibberd building. They were our never-failing boosters at all the football and basketball games ; they played at six assemblies, at the May Festival, and gave two special assembly programs, the feature of one being the school ' s favorite. Pop Goes the Weasel. The band gave one evening concert on larch 25, assisted by the orchestra, which proved to be a huge success. The band library has been augmented by the addition of twelve new num- bers which make a very complete repertoire. Many players ha e been playing in the citv Ijand. Morton, indeed, has many reasons to be proud of its band. jrr?T Page forty-six miiiy GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB One of the popular organizations of the school the past year has Ijeen the Glee Cluh. Both the hoys ' and girls clnhs have hfen active in school affairs. Miss Willman has heen a very carefnl and a very fine director and has dis- covered Cjuite a bit of vocal talent among the stndent body. The j)leasing Christmas chapel program was in charge of the Glee Clnlis under the supervision of Miss Willman. The girls sang for the program of the Woman ' s Cluh which was given at the Tivoli theater, representing music in the schools. They also assisted at the orchestra concert on March 11. The boys sang for chapel and also for ihe concert on . !arcli 2?. lloth glee clubs sang at the annual Mav bestival.

Three groups are organized, each of which is responsible for several ])rograms throughout the year. The chairman of one group will select a play, and have a rehearsal, and then pre- .sent it before the other members of the society on the audi- torium stage. This year the society has adopted memliership pins. At the Charity l air this year, the Dramatic Society gave That Troulile-some Tramp.

We cannot too highly recommend to your praise the work of Clarissa Abl, ever willing to carry more than her share of work and responsibilitv, and Myrl Homan, who proved a veritable tower of strength and a marvel of efficienc - in the business department. Then too there are others whose work warrants vour notice. Among these are Esther Armacost, whose masterly penwork will be easily recognized in the prophecy: iNIvron Winder, from whose pen we have the art work contained in this book; and Ellen Kluter, whose work in the snai)shot section is of the high- est quality. We cannot thank Miss Finfrock enough for her assistance. Ever ready with solutions for our difficulties, with encouragement when most needed, and urging us on when we lagged, she has been a liHceless heli) to the stall.

Long wars were waged, with many fierce Imttles. At times there was peace l)etween the two cities. For over one himdred years the conflict was on, either actual var, trade war, or attempts at concjuest and control of other peoples. Some of the far-seeing ones in Rome realized that, sooner or later, one of the two cities would have to how to the other. The great majority of Romans, however, saw no danger from Carthage, and were content to go on as usual, with no thought of danger or trotihle from the neighl)ors across the Mediterranean. One incident has come to our notice that may have had a great deal of influ- ence in determining the winner of this extended contest. In the Roman senate was Cato, the elder, a man who felt that Rome was asleep, allowing Carthage to ca])ture Roman trade, and estahlish colonies which would he a menace to the Empire. He frecjuently made speeches in the senate, on various subjects relating to the government of the empire, but no matter what the suliject, he ended with the phrase, dclciidci est Carthago, — Carthage must be destroyed. In this way, he kept the thought of Carthage and her danger to Rome constantly before the leaders of the people. Finally in the third Ptmic war, Rome conquered Carthage, destroyed the city, and plowed the ground where once the city stood, ' so that none might know where it was located. It would be hard to estimate the influence of Cato ' s reference to Carthage, in causing Rome to put forth her best efl: ' orts to destroy her, 1)ut without a doubt, it had some efl:ect. We of Morton High School have our problems and, like the old Romans, fail to realize the future efifect of present conditions. We become used to adverse conditions and submit without a whimper. We soon accept what we have, as being the best obtainable. ( )ur high school is in desperate need of an athletic field and a good gym- nasium. We use the Coliseum for basketball and brag on the fine floor we have — when other people will let us use it. We are proud of the fine football and track facilities at Earlham College, — we use them when Earlham does not need them. Our baseball field is exceptionally good ; we are permitted to use it until • o ' clock, then retire for the local league games. Yes, we have a field. It is located fifteen squares from the high school btiilding. We use it once in a while. We practice footl all there when we have no other place. True, there is no sod, level ground, goal posts, or conveniences. The site is entirely undeveloped. Our former field was taken for the Test junior High School five years ago. Without a good gymnasiimi or athletic field, how can we expect the younger boys of Richmond to learn the games played in high school? How can we develop our athletes withotit a place to do it? It is the urgent duty of every Morton Senior and undergraduate to emulate Cato, the old Roman, and, whenever an opportunity presents itself, call attention to our helpless condition, athletically. I ' nlike him, though, we will be asking for constructive action. Our motto can be, A gymnasium and athletic field for Morton must be built. H. ROLD M. Little. Page sixty-eight JfofltbaU IfHumi THE 1926 Red Devil football team enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in several years, and, although defeated by Muncie, Maridii, and Sliortridge, they won six of their nine games. Early season practice started at the ' Y football camp and continued, after the camp period was over, until school began. With the opening of school and the starting of regular practice sessions, a wealth of material turned out to tr - for the varsity. Although both the remaining letter men and the new material were unusual ! • light. Coach Little developed a fast and smart team for the first game of the season. The opening game for the Red Devils was with the h hvood eleven, who had already played a game with Kokomo. In spite of the advantage of their experience, the Elwood men were defeated by a score of 7 to 6. The game was played on the Elwood field, under a blistering sun, and both teams made their scores in the third quarter. Morton ' s touchdown followed a thirty-five yard pass, John h ' vans to Pat Ctirsi, and Bond ' s place kick added the extra point. The following week, the Middletown squad came to Richmond with a firm resolve to hand the Devils a defeat after the tie game played at Middletown last season. The game was not played, however, as rain in the earl - morning Hooded the field and the game had to he cancelled. Morton went north to meet the Portland pla. ers the following week. Neither team scored during the first half, but both Mustard and Bond crossed the Portland goal line in the third quarter. Both trials for points were made, and the Mortonites journe ed home with a 14 to t) victory. About two hundred Morton fans and hackers followed the team to this game. The fourth game of the season was lost to the lllue and White of Shortridge at the capital city. The scores 6 and 2 were both marked up in tin- first fi e or six minutes of play. Morton received the opening kick-off, and on their second pla - fumbled the ball, which was picked up by the Shortridge center, who ran thirtx-five yards for a touchdown. The try for point was blocked, and Morton kicked ott to the opponents. The Shortridge center received the ball and ran across his own goal line where he was downeil by the Reil Devils. I ' aKO who received two points for the touchback. Ahhoiigh the Mortonians were out-weighed by the Blue and White clad warriors, they twice brought the ball within scoring distance, but both times they lost the ball. In the first home game of the season, the Red Devils met the Wilkinson eleven, which had defeated them by a score of 7 to 6 last season. Revenge was sweet, and the score was 21 to in favor of Morton. The game was played in a downpour of rain and on a flooded field. The Devils took advantage of the condition of the field to slide right on when tackled, and their toboggan style touchdowns were the hit of the day with the spectators who braved the elements to see the game. Mustard scored two of Morton ' s touchdowns, while Bond and Evans contributed one each. The following week found the Newcastle Trojans in Richmond seeking revenge for their defeat of two years ago in which Mustard and Reeg figured so prominently. Their hopes were smashed, however, for Mustard ran their ends and tackles for many yards in gains. The only touchdown was made by Mustard, and the extra point was added by Bond, making the score 7 to 0, Morton. The next game, in which Morton met Greenfield, was played in a sea of mud and water. Fumbles and inability to play in the mud slowed the game and accounted for the breaks. Mustard scored the Devils ' first touchdown after Captain Weaver had carried the ball to the goal line, having recovered it on a Greenfield fumble. A few minutes later, Chuck recovered another fumble and carried the ball across the goal line for another touchdown after running seventy yards. Both attempts at the extra points failed, and the game ended with the score 12 to in favor of Morton. The Mortonians played in hard luck on the trip to Marion, which took place a week after the Greenfield victory. Due to the failure of two busses in succession, the trip became an all night affair, and when the boys arrived in Marion, they were well worn out and lacked the traditional Red Devil pep and scrap. Each Devil put forth his best, but the better condition of the Giants told, and the game was lost by a score of 12 to 0. In their next game the Littlemen gave a wonderful exhibition of teamwork to beat Central of Fort Wayne by a score of 14 to 0. The line held the heavier opponents scoreless and opened holes in the opposing line through which the backfield swept with excellent interference for the two touchdowns. Both extra points were scored. Hard though the Red Devils fought, the last game of the season was lost to Muncie, Morton ' s traditional rival. The score, 17 to 0, does not, however, indicate what a good game it was. Morton ' s Red and White twice carried the ball within scoring range, but both times the ball was lost on dropped passes. In the first half the Bearcats could only come close enough to the Devil goal to score a field goal. Another heavy schedule has been arranged for the Morton eleven next year, and another good team is expected as eleven letter men will return. In fact, everything seems to point to another successful season.

Record: Three years at end and halfback. John was the flashy and speedy halfback that ran the opponents ' ends for so many touchdowns and long gains. He leaves us this June via the sheepskin route. RICHARD NOGGLE. Record. Two years at guard. Dick was one of our dependable guards. He will pilot the Red Devils next year. JOHN EVANS. Record: Three years at quarter and halfback. Johnny barked the signals for the pig-skin chasers. His place will be hard to fill next year. FINLEY BOND. Recor.d : Three years at halfback, end, and quarterback. • Ein ' s blond thatch bobbing through the opponents ' line in one of his sensational quarterback sneaks is a sight which the Morton backers will be slow to forget. ROBERT STEGALL. Record : Two years at guard and tackle. Bob ' s ripping and smashing game at tackle will be a decided asset to the Red Devils again next year. TRACEY EVANS. Record : Three years at center and on line. Tracey held down the keystone position in gix-at style during his senior year. DWIGHT YOUNG. Record: Three years at fullback and halfback. Spring-rabbit was all his nickname indicates, being a fleet and shifty fullback who usually brought home the bacon when a few more yards were needed. LAWRENCE DAILEY. Record: One year in the backfield. Jed was the victim of hard luck during his sophomore and junior years, being held back by sickness and a bad ankle ; however, he came back with a vengeance this year and earned his letter. DUANE IGLEMAN. Record: One year in the backfield. Dewey showed real ability in the gridiron line and will come back next year to keep up the good work. ORVAL BUCKNER. Record: One year at end. Buck held down one of the wing positions for Morton this year and will, no doubt, be one of the mainstays of next year ' s squad. PAT CORSL Record : Two years as backfield man and end. Pat could fill any position in the backfield or an end position any time. He will be with the Red Devils next year. CHARLES AVERY. Record: One year at guard. Charlie was a new man to the gridiron game, but will probably play guard next fall. WALTER REYNARD. Record: One year as backfield man and end. Walt teamed with Buckner or Corsi at end. His work as halfback showed up well also. He has another year. EARNEST THOMAS. Record: One year as linesman. Earney pl ayed tackle as well as guard and has another year to play. THEODORE KIRKPATRICK. Record: One year at end. Ted was out half of the season with a bad knee and was able to play but a few games. He will be back next year. Page seventy-two THE official call for baskftball men to start practice f(ir the coming season was issued several weeks before the football season had closed. Aliout thirty candidates ansvverefi the call and started practicing in the high schciol g ni. There were bnt two basketball letter men from the 1925-26 season, and a new team had to be built around these men. The opening game of the season was with the Centerville Hull Duos, who won 30 to 25. The Devils took a three point lead the first half, but their defense cracked in the second half, and Trenips and Captain Tout scored the winning points fcjr their team. I ' lobby Wjss was the main scorer for Morton with 11 points. The following week Coach Little took charge of the first team, and with the fo(]tball men reporting for practice, he had a large squad to work with. On P ' riday night of December third, the Red Devil team went to Portland where they won by a score of 36 to 16. Klotz and Voss were high point men for Morton, with nine points apiece ; while Clampitt, Wiley, and Buckner each scored six points. The game was played on the high school stage, with the auditorium packed with Richmond and Portland fans. On the following evening the Red Devils lost to the Milroy five in a slow and uninteresting game. The score was Zl to 22 with Voss counting for ten of Morton ' s points. The following week the Littlemen were defeated by the Eaton players in a rough small- floor game at the Eaton Armory. The Morton-Liberty game, the following night, was wtm by Morton with eight Devils figuring in the scoring column. In two weeks three games were lost by the disorganized Devils. Injured players and inex- perienced substitutes made a poor showing against the better teams of the state. In a New Year ' s game with the Rushville Lions, the Mortonites made a good start for the new year, with a 35 to 25 victory. Wiley was the high point man for Morton with 12 points, while Voss was second with nine. Captain Klotz, Dailey, and Weaver all scored two field goals apiece in this game. Probably the best district team game during the season was with the Whitewater five, at the Coliseum. The green and w-hite won by a three point lead, which the - took in the closing minutes of the game. The team again went into a slump and lost four games straight. At Hamilton the Red Devils were unable to break the Black and White ' s defense on a long narrow floor: or to stop the long field shots of the Hamilton crew. lUickner and Wiley scored most for the Morton team. At Newcastle Wiley scored eleven points for Morton: while dss and Buckner counted five and four respectively. The Trojans had a 22 to 7 point lead at the half: but almost lost the game when Morton made a come-back in the second half and almost won the game. Three time-outs on the Trojans part were needed before the Red Devils ' offense was stopped. The Morton defense held, however, and Newcastle didn ' t score another field goal. The following night the Red Devils fell before the Bear Cats of Muncie, 47 to 24. In their first game at the Mb District Tourneya at Rushville. the Littlemen lost to the Lions by the score of 38 to 19. Klotz was out because of sickness, and the team didn ' t play up to their usual form. Lebanon came to Richmond January 28th expecting to carr home the Ixicon. Inil were left when the Morton five gave them the small end of a M to 30 score. Our fullback and floorguard, Dailey, stepped out in this game and collected 12 points, while ' oss and Wiley scored eight and seven points respectively. The following week two more victories were marked up by the Littlemen. l- ' riday night the Stoney Creek crew was defeated 30 to 21. Bobb ' oss scored high in this game with 14 points, while Clampitt collected eight. At Kl-wood Saturday night, the Llwood high school team pulled the Frankfort stall style of playing, but were beaten at it b a 20 to 17 count. The score was 7 to 4, Elwood, at the end of the first half: but the De ils tied the score and took a three point lead the secoml half. Snub r)rooks and L ' hiick ' ea er then gave the Elwood crowd a thrill, and the - stalled the last few minutes of the game. ,l«rrtTT l ' ai;c scvont -tint upon returning from Ehvood, Pete Wiley, who had been sick the night of the Stoney Creek game and also at E lwood, was taken home and quarantined with scarlet fever. This was the first hard knock that our black jinx gave the Red Devil team. Pete played floorguard the early part of the season and at forward his last four or five games. He proved to be a real scorer for the Littlemen and should prove a valuable man next spring. The next game for the Red and White was at the capital city with the Shortridge cagers, in their band-box gym, and four Devils figured in the scoring. The Hagerstown and Connersville games were cancelled because of the scarlet fever epidemic. As a substitute for these two games, Morton journeyed to Milton where they met the high school five. The Milton team threw a terrible scare into the Morton boys and had a 29 to 24 point lead at the half. By the time the second half was under way, the Red Devils had become used to the stage gym, and started to score both foul and field goals rapidl} ' . The score stood at 45-39, Morton, when the gun sounded. Klotz counted for 17 points and Voss 12. The last game of the schedule was played at the Stone City on the Bedford high school basketball floor. The Red Devils defense failed completely, and the Stone players had an easy time in running up the score. The stage was all set for the Sectional Tournament at Trueblood Field ; the district was full of pep and couldn ' t wait for the play to start. But. the State Board of Health said it wasn ' t advisable to have the tournament at Richmond, because of the mentioned epidemic. The scene of action was changed to the Fountain City high school gym, and all Richmond and Morton backers were barred from the tournament. The Red Devils met Greensfork in their first game and won by a score of 37 to 20. Their second game with Liberty was a little closer, the score being 25 to 22. The third game was with Hagerstown, and an overtime was needed to put this crew out of the play. The fourth and final game was with the Green and White of Whitewater. 29 to 18, Whitewater. In the Regional Tourney Whitewater defeated Rushville in their first game; but lost to Connersville, who went to the State. The Morton basketball season was not such a success when it comes to games lost and won. Out of 24 games played, ten were won. The Red Devils scored 653 points, as com- pared with 781 points for their opponents. After all, Red Devils, it isn ' t how many points you scored ; but how you played. We are proud of you !

For a while, unofficial practice was held on the lot next to the building before school and at noon, but, the would-be ball players couldn ' t control the ball and several windows were broken by wild throws. Along the first of April, several practice games were held and the team rounded into shape for their first game of the season. On the sixth the Devils went south to meet the Boston High School team, and with numerous errors were defeated 17 to 14. In a return game the twenty-third, they avenged this defeat with a 10-7 win over the Bean boys. In two games with Centerville, one there and one here, Matthew ' s athletes won both. The Newcastle Trojans were the next to meet Morton on the diamond. In a game here, the Castle men took a nice lead in the first inning and were never headed by the Mortonites. In a game at Newcastle, both teams played ragged ball and had numerous errors chalked against them. On April thirtieth the Spartans of Connersville were downed in a game at the Ex- hibition Park by a score of 13 to 8. As this goes to press, a return game is to be played with the Connersville men on their diamond. In a game at Muncie, the Morton men lost to the Bear Cats by an 8 to 2 score. With five wins and four defeats on their unfinished schedule, the Red Devils are look- ing forward to their last two games, which they hope to win and bring their percentage up.

' CUtV-UUlC JSinr lUiity) olrark l paitm WITH the opening of the track season, Coach Little was forced to the task of building a track team around four or five members of last year ' s squad. After the first call for candidates had Ipeen issued and indoor practice had started, Coach found several events the team was very weak in. He at once started to work personally through the boys in the school for prospective candidates to strengthen those weaknesses. As the date for the first meet drew near, practice was held outdoors at Reid Field, Earlham, whenever the weather permitted it. On the fifteenth of April a practice meet was held, with Morton, Newcastle, and Lynn participating. The Red Devils won this meet but showed weakness in different events. The following week Morton was defeated by Anderson in a triangular meet here. Rush- ville was the third team that competed. Eckenrode, Evans, and Oesting showed best for Morton in this meet. The Morton-Shortridge-Connersville meet scheduled for April 29 was cancelled because of rain. On May 6 the Red Devils journeyed to Muncie where they met the Bear Cats and the Union City team in a triangular meet. Muncie scored first, Morton second, and Laiion City third in this meet. Voss, Chenoweth, Evans, and Oesting scored the best for the Littlemen. At Rushville May 14, Morton tied with Connersville for high honor of the Sectional Meet. Batesville, Shelbyville, Lawrenceburg, Rushville, and Liberty scored in order named. Eight Red Devils qualified at the Sectional to participate in five events at the State Meet. The half mile relay team composed of Muckridge, Igleman, Voss, and Chenoweth; Oesting in the half mile run; Igleman in the 220 yard low hurdles; Eckenrode in the 100 yard high hurdles ; and Voss in the 100 yard dash, are the men that will represent Morton. As this goes to press, we think the Devils have a fair chance to place at the State and get in the scoring column. TRACK SCHEDULE April 15 — Morton, Newcastle, and Lynn. (Practice meet.)

Any can- didate wishing to try for the team reported at these practice sessions. After abottt a month of practice, the team was picked and met the Portland High School team. The Panther racketers proved to be a well balanced team and defeated the Devil team. As this writing goes to press, meets are pending with Roose- velt of Dayton, Shortridge of Indianapolis, and with the Earl- ham College team. These meets will probably be held as soon as we are favored with better weather. The members of the Devil team are Captain Fred Foley, Guy Righter, Ralph Oesting, and Jesse I ' lummer. All of these players are seniors and will graduate from INIorton this June. Page eighty-two Uiityj tus ' uttmmtug 1 ' OR two years IMortun entered a swiinmin Irani in the - - I. H. A. A. State Swinmiini; Meet held at L ' olunilius and sponsored Ijy the Columbus High School. These teams were under the coaching of Leonard Mow, Y. M.

There was a wealth of material in Morton for a swimming team Ihis year and several meets could have been held with other high schools; but, because of the lack of necessary funds, this sport could not be sponsored. We hope this sport will be taken back on Morton ' s list of activities next year, for a State high schoi, l swimming champion- ship would l)e within our grasj). The local Y. M.

I ' agc ciglity-thicc tijjiy) Jntramural Atlib ttra F(JR a numl)er of years, intramural athletics has been sponsored in ] Iorton. It has been the school ' s policy to encourage each and eA ' ery boy to participate in some branch of athletics for his own pleas- ure and benefit. With this in mind, various baseball, basketball, and track teams are organized each year. Beyond a doubt, the outstanding feature of this school year ' s intramural athletics program will l e the track meet to be held at Reid Field on June 4. The system to be used in this meet will be a decided novelty. Each contestant will enter in a pentathlon, being permitted to choose his own events. The contestants will be divided into three classes : the first consisting of all entrants who have l)een in Morton for one or two semesters ; the second class, consisting of all entrants who ha e been in Morton for three or four semesters ; and the third class including all contestants who have been in lorton for more than four semesters. In awarding points, each contestant will receive points corresponding to the position in which he finishes each event. The winner in each class will receive a gold medal ; second place will receive a silver medal ; third, fourth, and fifth places will be awarded bronze medals. To the contestant who of all three classes receives the least number of points will be awarded a statuette trophy and his name will be engraved on the permanent trophy cup. This track meet, according to plans, will be made an annual affair and is being taken up by the students with much vigor. The only eligibility rule is that each contestant must be an actual student of Morton at the time he participates in the meet. Varsity track men wiH not. however, be permitted to enter in their regular events. Page eighty-four (Stria ' Atl|ldira T AST fall there was no director of ])lnsical education for - — JNIorton girls.

IX MUSIC Bernice Richards Paiic ci,ulit -nine By Clarence Riggleman I WAS riding in a taxi, down one of the principal streets of San Francisco when we came to a stop sign. Of course the driver stopped. Immediately a large, shiny car drew up to the left of us. Glancing into the rear seat (the chauffeur in the front seat did not interest me), I saw a young girl, a beautiful young girl, drawing on a snow white glove. She wore a small, white, tight-fitting hat over her blonde hair, and an ermine coat which must have concealed a very pretty dress, and held in her hand a plain white envelope. She did not appear to notice me, but when the sign changed and her car had started, she gave a slight but sharp twist of her wrist, and, much to my astonishment, the letter flew into my car. I picked the letter up, opened it, and became more astonished when I saw that it was addressed to me. When I looked up to see where the car had gone, it had disappeared. I asked my driver, but he had not noticed the car. Not knowing anything else to do, I read the letter. Here it is, word for word : Dear Mr. Holms : I am in dire straits. Please help me! They will kill me if you don ' t. Follow the map and come quick as they are trailing me and I have to keep moving. I am going immediately to the Den. Inclosed with the letter was a map of the Den. From the part of the map which I could make out, the Den was in the very center of Chinatown, about eight stories underneath th e street. I did not know what to do. I had been in the city only a short time, and I wondered how the girl had obtained my name. I knew no one in the city except the friend to whose home I was now going, and I had a right to believe that no one knew me. I was carrying a bunch of money then, about ten thousand ; I had heard of the many ways to get a fellow ' s money. However, every time I thought of a new reason for not going, I recalled the girl and, my gosh, she overruled them all. I told the driver to go over into Chinatown to the corner which was shown on the map. We started toward that district of mystery, but after riding about five minutes, I saw my friend on a corner. I picked him up and told him about the letter. He said that since there were two of us, we ought to be able to take care of ourselves, and advised me to go to the place. (You see, he thought that there ought to be some excitement in the adventure.) It was not long until we arrived at the correct corner where, we dismissed the taxi. We walked down the street to the third building, went through a narrow passageway beside the building, (a deserted laundry), and entered a cellar which was marked on the map. In the semi-darkness we could see that it was stored with ironing boards, tables, and other things probably left by the laundryman. It was damp and the things were partially covered with Page ninety THE white mold. In the northwest curner was a small dour about a yard high, not easily noticeable Xo one wlin did not know it was there, I opened it and we entered a narrow but high tunnel which, although it was level for a few yards, began to descend at a steep slant. Rude steps cut in the hard ground mack ' the descent easier. Although the secret passage had not been used much lately, the track of a woman was clearly outlined in the dust showing us that someone was below. We descended about one story and then the tunnel turned first to the right, then lu the left, and then continued with the same sort of turns at the end of each flight. Coming at last to the end of the stairway, we entered a small room, the first of a series, where I lost my comrade in adventure. At the bottom of the stairs, 1 stopped to Icjuk at the footprints again, and he went on into the room. Hearing a dull thud, I cautiously entered the room to find a Chinaman bending o er the prostrate body of my friend. Grasping the man by the neck, I choked him, methodically and thoroughly. My friend was unconscious so I dragged him behind the door and concealed him as well as I could. Then I very carefully opened the door of the adjoining room, but saw no one within. Evidently they (whoever flicy were) thought that one t)Uter guard was sufficient. I did n(.it relax my vigilance, however, as I went from one room to the next. Finally, coming to the door of what I thought must lie tlie last of the small rooms, I started to open it when I chanced to see a beam of light coming through the keyhole. Oh, how lucky for me w ' as that beam of light; for when I peeped into the room, I saw a Chinaman looking through the ke}-hole into a door across the room. The room was lighted with elec- tricity and 1 saw that there was n j other ])erson there. ' ' ery quietly o|n.iiing the door, I tip- toed across the room, grasped liim by the neck, and chok ' ed him also, methodically and thoroughly. Disdaining to look through the keyhole. 1 boldly opened the door, not kmiwing what to expect. At least, I didn ' t expect to see what I saw. It was a large, magnificently although sparsely furnished room. There was a hardwood floor, heavily waxed ; the room was lined with dark stained woodwork: and a few mahogany chairs together with a table and a lounge of the same wood were artistically placed about. The table was the thing which interested me most: not for its beauty (although it was beautiful in its massiveness) , but for the person who was l ing on it. There lay the girl for whom I was searching, just as I had seen her in the car except that her coat w as removed, showing a black silk dress, . ' she either had been drugged or had fainted, for she lay very still and made no sounds. .M.iove her swung a pendulum with a large, sharp, sabre-like piece of steel fastened to its end. It was slowix ' . inch 1 - inch, coming closer, and was within six inches of her when I came in. I sensed all the above in a moment and then r.in to the table. I dragged her from inuler the swinging death and carried her to the Immge wheri.- 1 tried to revive her. Alter workuig over her for about five minutes, I saw lu ' r eyes flutter and she opened them to stare wildly about. 1 took her in my arms, Imt just as 1 w;is about to kiss her, e en as m - lips were separated from hers by only a fraction of :ui inch, — I awoke. ifrTTTl t iiie uinely-oitc ' ill? 3nbU 0f tl|p i ' tu ntt anh IT WAS at a book store that they met— at Nicholson ' s, to be exact. The Skeptic was looking over a flaming array of popular magazines stretched across the wide open spaces on a thin wire. You could tell he was a skeptic by the way he glowered at everybody through a pair of great horn-rimmed glasses, and he fascinated the Student nearby who had fond hopes of some daj becoming like him. This, said the Skeptic, with a flourish of his walking stick, (Skeptics always carry walking sticks.) This is impossible! My dear sir, said the Student, as Darwin said, nothing is impossible. You will learn, said the Skeptic, witheringly. But why, asked the Student. (All Students ask questions.) Why is that display of magazines impossible? It is not the magazines, replied the Skeptic. It is their names. Where, pray tell me, do the publishers find such cognomens? Oh! said the Student, they name them after people. Ridiculous! said the Skeptic. Don ' t tell me there are any people like that! I once thought so myself, but I have changed my mind! For a long time I sought the namesakes of magazines without avail. Why, asked the Student, did you want a veil ? At this the Skeptic was about to walk away in high indignation when the Student said, Wait! I can show you a person to represent every magazine here! I do not believe you, said the Skeptic, but I ' ll go along. Where is it? So the Student, hastily catching up a list of the magazines on display while the clerk and the manager were arguing, led the Skeptic to the imposing pile of stone known to the surrounding population as Morton High School. Bah ! said the Skeptic. He felt that he was called upon to say something. As they entered the hall, a young lady came dashing out of the auditorium with six books under each arm and a typewriter balanced on one elbow. She ran into the Skeptic and almost ruined his equilibrium. Papers flew from the books she carried, littering the halls. I beg your pardon ! said she. I hope you haven ' t caused me to lose any of the copy for the Pierian. I beg your pardon ! Really, sir, I do ! But I should think you might be careful. This Pierian is a valuable book! The Skeptic staggered to his feet and massaged a blackened eye. There is the first one on the list! said the Student. That ' s Clarissa Ahl — Pierian Editor — and The American Girl. The Skeptic had nothing to say. Suddenly a young gentleman clad in football togs dashed out of the gym and made a flying tackle at the Skeptic, sending him crashing to the floor. Awfully sorry, old chap! he apologized, helping him up. I was merely practising a little and I ' m sure you don ' t mind. Just then somebody yelled, 45 — H20 — 23 ! and the young hero was ofl: down the hall. The Aiiicricaii Boy, said the Student. Football hero kndwn in his home as Dwight Young ! Cross him off the list, said the Skeptic, weakly. As they approached the stairs, three young ladies came dashing down and almost ran into them. One was singing (or thought she was) to the accompaniment of a silk covered ukulele, the other was keeping time with wide sweeps of a True Story Maga::ine, and the third was sewing a letter on her sweater with a darning needle which poked the unsuspecting Skeptic sadly in the eye as they passed. r ' f ' Page ninety-two Three more! said the Studeiil. Myra Bosworth — Vo( uc and Youth ' s Coni yani(jii — Gertie Torbeck — Modern Priscilla — and Martha Evans — American Needle-ll ' oimiii. We only have ten more to see. The Skeptic groaned. Six young gentlemen approached, deep in conversation. So Matthews, he says to me, ' You get out and make it .snappy r I ' ll have Clinc come up and throw you out! ' and I wasn ' t gonna stand for any back talk from any teacher so 1 just got up and walked right out ! Look! said the Student. It ' s Freddie, the Sheik. Real name is Klotz and he repre- sents The Iiidepeitdeiit. So I says to her and then she says to me — , said another. Myron Hipskind! cried the Student. The Woiiuiii ' s Home Conif aiiioii. Cross him off! said the Skeptic. So then I asked him if he thought the rain would hurt the rhubarb, came from an- other one of the sextette. Norman Shute! said the Student. Shoot? cried the Skeptic. N — not this way, I beg of you! That ' s his name, said the Student. He ' s our official Country Gentleman ! Fore ! shrieked one of the gentlemen suddenly. Four what? asked the Skeptic. At that moment a golf ball crashed against his head, leaving him quite dismayed. Before he had recovered his composure, a young man rushed up to him and said, Great Bobby Jones! You spoiled the best shot I ever made! That, said the Student, calmly, is Kenneth Voss, The Amerieait Golfer. W — what is, the matter with the other two? asked the Skeptic. They aren ' t making a bit of noise. One of them is Jesse Plummer — The Bookman. He never talks when there ' s a book in the vicinity. The other is Lloyd Outland. We think he represents Sneeess because he plays the violin so well. Violin! said the Skeptic. Do you suppose he ' ll play now ? The Skeptic emitted a yell and never stopped running until he reached the third floor. There he saw three girls and stopped to see what they were about. Your typewriter is out of ink, said one imposing damsel. Get some. Mary Fossenkemper, whispered the Student. The Indiana Teaeher. I can ' t, answered the other. The filling station is closed. Then drain your fountain pen, answered the instructor. The other girl is Helen Harper, said the Student. She ' s The Grei f Writer. And what about the third one? asked the Skeptic. What ' s she doing with that microscope? That ' s Alice Ellen Page. She ' s a Truth Seeker. replied the Student. Does that include all the magazines? asked the Skeptic, liopefully. One more, answered the Student. We ' ll find him oti the fourth floor. They ascended the stairs. As they neared the chemistry lalic:rator the - were enxeloped in a wave of gas that issued from the room, follDwed b fire, liriinslinie, and now. Help ! cried the Skeptic. It ' s only The Seientifie Ameriean tiding some experiments. In pri ate life he is known as Ralph Oesting. Cross him oft ' ! cried the Skeptic, who was no longer a Skeptic but has to be called something. Wlien they were once more outside, the Skeptic sii hed. It is er improper for a . keptic not to sigh when his theories are destroyed. I never would have guessed it ! said he. So leaning on his walking stick, the Skei tic went away, a sadder ami a wiser man. Moral : When at first you don ' t succeeil, cr , cr again.

The Head Nurse looked at her watch and then at the patient beside the window. It ' s morning, she sighed. So it is! said the patient. Hush, Mr. Brown, said the Head Nurse. You are sinking rapidly. I ' m not ! said the patient. You are! said the Head Nurse. If you ' re not, you ' d better, because that ' s what I wrote on your report. I ' m not Mr. Brown ! objected the patient. Why aren ' t you? asked the Head Nurse. In the first place, it isn ' t logical. In the second place, I am James Matthews, History and Civics a specialty. Also baseball and law. I ' ll be switched ! cried the Head Nurse. Don ' t be silly, advised the patient. It isn ' t logical. How can you be switched when there are no switches ? Such appalling ignorance ! What is your name ? Rosalind Maybelle Van Courtland, said the Head Nurse. The door opened and the doctor entered the room. How is the patient? he asked. He ' s dying, said the Head Nurse. I ' m not ! said the patient. You are ! said the doctor. Don ' t contradict Miss Van Courtland. It isn ' t polite ! Her name isn ' t Van Courtland ! replied the other. It ' s Ahl — plain Ahl — that ' s all ! She used to go to school to me when I taught at Morton, and she answered to the name of Clarissa. I didn ' t ! said the Head Nurse. Pardon me, you are right. You never answered anything, returned the patient. Do you have any last messages? asked the Doctor. Can you give me any logical reason why I should? asked the patient. Of course! You have a bad case of Paragoric F ' ever. Last time you said it was something else, whispered the Head Nurse. What is the name? asked the Doctor. Matthews, said the patient. I beg your pardon. You have Sympathetic Neuritis, replied the physician, closing his notebook. Miss Van Courtland — Her name isn ' t Van Courtland ! cried the patient. He ' s delirious, said the Head Nurse. Give him some quinine. Sh-h ! cautioned the Doctor. He ' s going. I ' m not ! said the patient. Prove it. To satisfy his last wishes, Miss Van Courtland, we will call in the Crystal Gazer and have him look into the future. That will tell him whether he ' s going- to live or not!

Bank Robbers Are Taken Single Handed By Brave Woman The daring hold-up of the First National Bank reached a startling cli- max last evening when the robbers were captured single-handed by Aliss Cath- erine Cox. Miss Cox was returning from the Johnny Evans Chautauqua where she had delivered a lecture on How to Re- duce and was on her way to her country home south of the city, when her car broke down. Being unable to drive any further, she started to walk the rest of the way, carrying the revolver which she kept in the car. As she rounded a cur e in the wood- land road, she came upon two men who were talking in subdued tones and men- tioned the First National Bank. Sus- pecting them to be the rolibers. Miss Cox conmianded them to throw up their hands and forced them to walk to her home where the maid summoned the police. The two men were taken to the city jail and after several hours of grilling, confessed to the crime, giving their names as Lawrence Porter and !Myron Bud Eubanks.

A new orchestra under the direction of Miss Parke with Perry Wilson at the saxophone and five other red hot Y. M. C.

The latter wears her skirts too short anyway. •Mr. Nevue said that the dance was a beautiful one. He also added that his daughters would never be found in such a place.

HAILED AS SCREENS GREATEST LOVER SINCE VALENTINO Bill Backmeyer has firmly establi.shed his reputation as the greatest of all screen lovers in his first starring vehicle, The Bigger They Are — The Harder They Fall. Words cannot express the public opinion of the technique of the stellar player in this film. Billy Boy as this po])ular actor is known to his immmerable feminine ad- mirers, is being lionized by the elite of Hollywood. The fact that he retires at 9 :00 P. M. in order to maintain his figure has not lessened his welcome at the Beverley Hills mansions of well- known personages of the screen. Billy Boy attributes his success to the encouragement given him bj- his feminine schoolmates when he was a student of Morton High School of this city in the class of ' 27. He states that he was, during his career at Morton, quite bashful and painfully shy, and that his lady friends convinced him only with great difficulty that his great ability in the art of being a lover should not be wasted, but should be given to the public. So he finally went to Holh- wood, and, after many hardships, be- came an extra. However, such a talent as his could not be overlooked, so the Harrington-Foley studios signed him up for a three year contract with exclusive rights, and he is now recognized as the most popular screen idol of the present da v.

AMERICAN ATHLETES STARTLE ALL EUROPE FINLAND AGAP AT FEATS OF AMERICANS Finland — The American track and field athletes are continuing their European invasion in remarkable sytle. At every appearance of the foreigners, thousands gather to pay them homage and to marvel at their feats. The natives are particularly amazed at the work of Oesting, the super-distance man of the Yankees. His great stamina and nervy work have gained the. admira- tion of the whole nation. Chenoweth, crack sprinter, and Bond, pole-vaulter- are also gaining their share of glory. This trio is proceeding methodically to break all standing records, and Trainer Daily of the team says that they are m excellent condition. Coach Young of the American team, in a recent interview, stated that the team would soon leave for Paris, there to participate in the International Track and Field Carnival which is to be held in that city. Here they will be joined by Leroy Mustard, the middle-distance star, who is now in Berlin preparing for a contest with the famous German quarter-miler, Augustus Von Kraut. From Paris they will return to the United States for a short rest before sojourning to Mexico Citj ' to engage the famous Indian athletes of Mexico. SMITH ' S AMAZONS ANNOUNCE SCHEDULE The Amazons, for years the strongest women ' s professional basketball team in this section of the country, will again bid for world championship honors, ac- cording to Miss Betty Smith, their manager and coach. Ten of the team s eighteen scheduled games will be played at the new Walter Shattell Gym which has a seating capacity of 8,000. The opening game will be played December 9, when the Amazons meet the New York Garlics. The Garlics, for the last two year; national women champions, will bring a powerful team which has been playing together for the last four years. Other powerful teams to be met dur- ing the season will include the Los Angeles All Stars, the Walla Walla Women ' s Athletic Club, the Tampa Blue Streaks. With such an attractive sched- ule, it is expected the followers of the Amazons will be given a chance to see what the locals can really do, and it is certain that all the games will be hard fought and replete with thrills. In the past few years women ' s bas- ketball has gained rapidly in popularity, showing that the public is ready to back a good team. All the girls have played since their high school days and are masters of the game. IN THE SPORTS WORLD WITH CHAS. WEAVE li A trip to Studt Stadium last evening found the Red Devil pigskin chasers hard at work in preparation for the big game Saturday in which the Mortonians meet their old rivals. Academy of Waco, Texas, during the annual Morton Home- coming. Coach Mustard is making every efifort to get his charges into the best of con- dition for the coming battle. He seems well pleased with the work of his men and stated that he fully expects that the Red and White would again emerge victorious although the Academy is famous for its football teams. Richmond ' s Fearless Four are cer- tainly making track history across the Big Pond. The Oesting, Bond, Cheno- weth, Mustard combination are the sen- sation of the day. We can remember when all four were students in old Mor- ton High School where they started their athletic careers. From the idols of Richmond fans they have developed into idols of the world ' s fans. This morning we found in our mail a letter from two old Morton Grads saj ' ing that they were on their way home to the Homecoming and that they were backing the old Red Devils to win. These grads are Guy Righter nad Clifford Cain who are now big egg men in the Easter Islands. ROBT.

Mr. Studt, who donated the money for its construction, is one of the city of Richmond ' s successful busi- ness men and a loyal supporter of ath- letics in the local high school. Back in the years 1926-1927 Studt was well known to tlie students of Morton as a fellow who did his best to make the school a success.

Reid LACEY MUSIC STORE LOCAL SWIMMER WINS CHANNEL DASH London — Staging a sensational flying finish, Francis Peacock of the New World Athletic Club came up from third position to win the famous English Channel Dash from Cape Gris to Calais. Peacock ' s victory was no surprise to the experts who have picked him to win ever since he displayed his new Bermuda Creep stroke in practice last week. Peacock seemed to be quite fresh after his swim and walked up to the Jjeach where he endorsed two breakfast-foods, a well known make of automobile, and a new brand of toothpaste. He then signed a contract with Harry Smith- meyer to appear on the latter ' s vaude- ville circuit at a salary of $999 a week. Thad Braffett, another favorite, fin- ished in second place, but was disquali- fied for swimming out of his lane. S. p. C. D. H. APPEALS TO ATHLETIC BOARD Following a stormy session at the society headquarters yesterday, it was resolved by the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Dumb Humans that an appeal be made to the National Ath- letic Association to modify the football rules now in use so as to eliminate some of the prevailing roughness in that game. President Eunice Timmerman could preserve order only by threatening some of the members with expulsion from the meeting, and it was not until late in the evening that the resolution proposed b} ' Thelma May was adopted, and Secre- tary Ellen Kluter authorized to draw up an appeal. This vigorous action was taken as a result of a professional football game held last Saturday in which several serious accidents occurred. Two play- ers, Melvin Quigley and Myrl Homan, are now suffering nervous breakdowns as a result of the harsh voice in which the visiting quarterback uttered his sig- nals. Another player, Charles Pitcher, is being held in the local calaboose on charges of assault and battery as a re- sult of his alleged breaking of an op- ponent ' s wrist watch crystal. At the time great concern was ex- pressed by all the spectators, 1)ut the action of the S. P. C. D. H. is the first definite action to be taken. It is fully expected that their appeal will bear great weight in the coming convention. WAS DYING BY INCHES I was literally dying by inches, says Miss Gertrude Torljeck, of this city, in a letter to us. I had a headache and toothache for several weeks. Besides this, I had rheumatism, severe pains in my riglit foot, four bruises on my left wrist, earache, sore throat, two broken ribs, and a cold, as well as a sprained eye- lirow and two cut fingers. The doctors told me I could live only a short time, and I had almost given up all hope when I saw your remedy and decided to try it. After taking fifty-seven bottles, I recovered completely and am now fully able to continue my work, which is very hard, as I am a laundress. Surely this testimonial would convince tlie worst skeptic.
