Page Twenty-Nine IWW! THE Hoop Potc IMVHEI The Class Prophecy For I dipt into the future far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be. Extra! Extra! Excavation of tomb! was the cry of the newspaper boys on every corner of the busy Broadway of Mt. Vernon in the year 4823. Everyone on this particular afternoon had purchased a paper. Glanc- ing over the headlines l read- Tomb thought to be that of a well-known citizen of Mt. Vernon. This seemed very interesting so I read further. A new chapter opens in the romantic story of one of the Mt. Vernonites who is expected to be none other than one of the early presidents of the United States, Charles Theodore Rowe. Interesting were the scenes that attended the entry into the hitherto un- explored chamber. People wondered how the tomb was excavated as no one had any idea that one existed in this unknown place, but the story goes on in a later edition: ,' About six tishermen having their nets set at Hagemann's Rocks, a crowded section of the city, recognized several interesting inscriptions on a stone at the water's edge. They managed to decipher one of the inscrip- tions, Let us be seen by our deeds. The stone led the tishermen to believe that there was something underneath so they, with the aid of three other men, pushed away the rock. Very much to their surprise they noticed a door leading to a very dark chamber. The investigators after breaking the seals of the door made their way into a chamber, and flashed their electric torches upon a great tomb in which the ancient body had rested for over two thou- sand years. Daily, while millions of dollars worth of royal treasures are being car- ried from the newly opened tomb, scientists have agreed the treasures are that of a long forgotten school. Bejeweled ornaments, ancient arts and priceless musical instruments are being collected for the museums all over the world, from this tomb. Here are some of the most notable of the hun- dreds of articles already taken from the chamber: Records of a graduation class of 1923, priceless beads and earbobs, trousers decorated with bells, buttons and richly embroidered material, fan- tastic squares of silk, a cello, two violins, a saxophone, and a hoop-pole with twelve floating streamers of bright colored ribbon. Most conspicuous among these gay ribbons are long streamers of purple and silver. Already our fair readers are visualizing themselves in gowns of these beautiful colors. 'tThe examination was prolonged as the men found several steps lead- ing from one corner down about ten feet to another depth. ln the center of a small room was found a very important article, at least from its conspicu- ousness it seemed so. This was recognized to be some sort of a printing Page Thirty INWSI THE Hoop Poke lMlHEj press. It was covered with a deep filmy Green mold probably caused by the days and night of concentrated labor over it by a certain Guy. Around this machine were found numerous editions of a paper called the Hoop-Pole Junior, giving in its Alumni Section, the records of the graduates of '23. The records have been edited and it is interesting to note some of them. 'Ted Rowe, the president of the class of '23, has been elected president of the Unted States on the Do-Something Party. Ted was defeated two times but the third time he was successful. Third time's a charm, you know. Another edition, dated seven years later, tells us that Guy Victor Green is joint editor of a great newspaper in the nation's capital. 'He and his partner, Dale' Tenison, run a newspaper, The Serious Searcher, that publishes both a daily and a nightly edition, Dale editing the daily, and Guy the nightly. At present they are boosting Charles Theodore Rowe for a third term as president, editing in a serial form the notable achievements of his two previous administrations. ln last night's issue is a full explanation of the law sponsored by President Rowe that makes it an act of treason to can- cel a foot-ball game without a unanimous vote of all concerned, Fans in- eluded! ln the same issue is an article on the brilliant diplomacy of a fair lob- byist, Eloise Causey, who is supporting a move to ammend the constitution so that American citizens may bear a title, not of Lord or Duke, but of knight. 'fAnother Hoop-Pole proudly relates how the Agriculture Club was en' tertained by a famous grain specialist, Mr. Carl Wheat. One full page of another edition advertises a new book by Helen Crowe on Ruskin Made Easy and Interesting. This book, instead of having notes of explanation regarding the text, has copies of all the personal notes found in various copies of books studied, with complete suggestions to the instructor on how to use these notes. ln another we may read of Nelson Kelley's success on the stage, tell- ing how he had just completed a two years' run in 'tCome Out of the Kitchen. One paper features an advertisement of the K. and H. Senior Supply company. We read--'Seniors, let us prepare your scrap-books and history theses with a maximum of satisfaction and a minimum of expense-no ex- tra charges for changing commas and capitals-small charge for extra pages to insert to accommodate clubs of tive. Write to Klotz or Hanshoe for further information! On the front page of one edition we read that the Arnold Grammar for High schools has been adopted for use in the Grammar class. The text is a very much simplified text omitting such subjects as subjunctive mood and intinitives. We read how Alice Roos who had returned as missionary to New York had appeared in the assembly giving an illustrated lecture on her work. The same paper tells how Grace Lowenhaupt had given a reception for Miss Roos at which all the elite were present. Page Thirty-One f 'i of .1 1 ,f J 'F 1-il' INWHI THE Hoop Pots lMVHSl The same edition tells how the Commercial Department had installed the new Alldridge Typewriters. Margaret Alldridge, true to her musical ability, had perfected a typewriter that played a tune when it was used. There is one issue that has copied an important article from a Canadian paper. lt has in flaring headlines, 'Famous Jockey Rides Silver Hoof to Victory! Follows an account of how Winfred Stein dressed in a purple suit rode hrst under the wire in a famous race. One long article tells of the success of Carolyn Reister, 'who is at- tending Cornell University where she is discovering many new and interest- ing facts on engineering. She has already mastered the subject of her studies, but has not yet gone into business because she has not found a suit- able partner! Another item of interest is that about Brenda McElhaney. The fol- lowing is a paragraph from the article: 'The girls in M. V. H. S. who are be- coming more beautiful attribute the change to the fact that they attend a Charm School conducted by Miss Brenda McElhaney, where the use of cos- metics is taught and instructions as to the best drug store at which to buy them are given! One of Brenda's customers is Carolyn Works, who makes weekly trips to Mt. Vernon from St. Louis to have her spit-curls hennaed. Everyone remembers Carolyn's spit-curls at M. V. H. S. 'ln connection with this school Ruth Raben is sponsoring the production of Radio Reducing Exer- cises. lt is reported that these exercises are as effective as the Victrola records used at one time by prominent characters in M. V. H. S.' Here an edition states that Margaret Neuman is showing her prowess as an aerial photographer. 'Any day her plane may be heard over-head as she sails by taking pictures for a large movie studio in Hollywood. She is noted for the wonderful and beautiful scenes she has taken! ' '23 has certainly lived up to its motto Let us be seen by our deeds, since it has a representative in the army. Jack Barnett is a famous colonel in the U. S. regular army! A snappy picture of Jack and two buddies ap- pears with this notice. 'Emilie Claus has just left for the jungles of Africa where she intends to teach the natives how to live and love. Her close friend, Leona Allyn, who loathed Geometry in High School days, has changed her mind and is teaching the beloved subject in Oakland City College. Alberta Wallace has a position on the State Board of Education, and grades the manuscripts of people who are trying to become teachers as she once had done.' - 'Mildred and Lowell Painter are located at the Robert Long Hospital in Indianapolis, Mildred as head matron and Lowell as house surgeon! 'George Bottomley has made a notable career for himself by becom- ing president of the Transcontinental Railroad. Although so much higher than they, the employees all know their president as Smiling George. While George attends to the executive affairs his sister Helen looks after the clerical department and is very successful. 'One out of this honorable and dignified class, Bessie York, has taken up dancing and for nine years has been back of the bright lights of Broad- way.' Page Thirty-Two F IMVHEI THE Hoop Pom: lMVHEl A special edition of the Hoop-Pole states that Virginia Johnson is giv- ing ahouse party at her home in Cincinnati, Ohio. She is giving each mem- ber of the party a 'Ginobile,' a beautiful new model which her husband is manufacturing in greater numbers than Henry Ford ever hoped to produce. 'Luther Carr and Walter Dickhaut are owners of a restaurant at Mt. Vernon. Pus says that he bought the restaurant so that the High school students may have a good hang-out. The boys have just served a public banquet in the Gymnasium of the New High school, free to all lovers of athletics? 'Clarence Schreiber and Wyman Wallace have found a new species of plant lice which has made them famous. The Agriculture Department is trying to arrange for them to talk before the Agriculture Club soon.' 'Naomi Young has become a confirmed old maid and has established a young ladies' boarding school where she offers free advice to young vamps. One of the first things she teaches is the art of playing basket-ball! 'Homer Walling and Gilmore Waltz are the sole owners of the Yellow Taxi in the United States! 'Edgar Sailer has formed a new system of Shorthand. Laura Hogan has for many years demonstrated this system but she is thinking about going back to the Gregg system.' 'Mary Millspaugh, the second Schuman-Heink, has just become famous by singing a folk song of her own composition entitled Foot Carry Me Fast. ' One of the editions of the Hoop-Pole states that Walter Baldwin and Clifford Maas have established a Rudolph Valentino Parlor in the West. Bally states that this parlor is for men whose hair is unmanageable. Mike is to demonstrate the latest styles for men. On the front page of the Halloween edition appears the picture of Burdetta Frick. Three mystic spit curls adorn her forehead around which is swathed a bright bandana. Her ear-rings are crystal balls in which she reads the future of all who seek her. Alas! We learn that the class of '23 is blessed with bachelors. Lil- burn Knight and 'Bobbie' Weir having been disappointed in love, have with Raymond Davis, established an Old Bachelors' Resort at Palm Beach. Florida. So many other things have been found that other editions of our paper must tell of them. One day may be devoted to a silver casket found at the head of the tomb. Another will describe a volume, beautifully bound in purple, embossed in silver and bearing the name The Hoop-Pole. Other chambers revealing other periods, no doubt, will be excavated later but at present all that has been discovered pertains to the class of '23. Many have already pointed out the strange significance of the date of the discovery- 4823, for they have discovered that there were 48 members in the class of '23. Page Thirty-Three W. .Q glllW5I THE Hoop PoLE lMVH5l The Record An elaborate silver casket was especially noticeable among the many antique arts and relics that were found when the mysterious, but marvelous tomb of Charles Theodore Rowe was excavated. Upon investigation the scientific research-workers learned that the record of the great class of 1923 was enclosed within this casket. When this beautiful chest was opened the following ancient inscription was found supposed to have been printed by the old printing-press, which was one of the other articles discovered. OUR RECORD IN M. V. H. S. Four years ago, we, a band of important Freshies, registered for educa- tion at the famous Junior High School, each eager for the fray. But soon our sensitive mind told us that the mighty on-lookers from Senior High con- sidered our band as green, and no doubt our demeanor surely held this true. Knowing that we should make our class the greatest ever, each member struggled on and soon we mastered the talent and dignity that the other classes possessed. At mid-year our jubilant band was decreased by the separation of some of the members for the most wonderful Senior High. Finally, our goal upon which faint hopes were centered was won, and we made ready for our entrance to Senior High. Our troop was again united. Il. KSOPHOMORESD We now doffed the hated green mantle and henceforward were to be known as Sophomores. Many maidens were proving that they were worthy of being wooed, while the boys captured the higher classmen's girls, either by manners, inquiries or Fords. Great talents were soon discovered and our class took part in athletics, Glee Club, and all other school activities showing that we could lead the rest. Many of our band made their Hrst grand public appearance by taking part in the operetta, The Garden of the Shah. Ability and hard work led our band to higher regions and soon we were privileged to be Juniors. in. CJUNIORSJ Step by step our glorious class by various means, climbed the ladder of knowledge. The name Junior was immediately raised to a foremost place in Senior High because our band held the most unusual interest in all the un- dertakings ofthe school. After demonstrating our skill in athletics, our next noted- activity in which we took important part was the operetta Miss Bob White, given by the Glee Club. Page Thirty-Four INVHEI THE Hoop Pom IMVHEI The time drew nigh for our class to advance on to a new tield and as an ancient custom we gave a reception in honor of the Seniors leaving M. V. H. S. Here, we added our names to the social list not so much in honor of de- parting '22 but in celebrating our entry into their place. g iv. qsenioasi Now at last the pinnacle was reached and the high goal accomplished. We entered the Senior Estate and tiouted the under classmen as we were once flouted. We entered .into this estate with ceremony, our inauguration being known as Senior Distinction Day. On that day we had our way. A great pageant presented our past and present greatness. Once again we saw our- selves as bashful Freshmen entering school bearing the indignities of initia- tion with courageg then as Sophomores in our foolish days selecting our lovers and friends, next as Juniors bearing new honors with dignity which would stay with us in our Senior year. Then we saw ourselves taking the lion's share in all school activities. By our deeds we showed ourselves. As a closing feature of that day we tied the silver and purple beside the maroon and white and from that day strove to uphold the school which those colors symbolize. We took up the great responsibility of the school and carried on all the affairs with ease and dignity of Seniors. Was a Radio Club, French Club or any organization started? Then Seniors took prom- inent parts. Did the affairs need boosting? Seniors headed the Boosters' organization and made good the name. Seniors too did their share in carry- ing out the plan of self government. We soon brought our class up to the high standard and proved that the class of '23 excelled all others. In athletics our famous band kept up the good record set down by the former classes and again showed our skill in accomplishing difticult tasks. The operetta gave an entrance for the other Seniors and The Gypsy Rover was presented with a great success. Our class was firmly organized now, and we had a strong and mighty name established on the records in the Hall of Fame. Our dauntless class worked on and soon the Senior play Come Out of The Kitchen, was ready for presentation. The play was a striking success and a great accomplishment of our worthy troop. Now all too soon the time drew nigh when the class of '23 must leave M. V. H. S. and go down the winding path of the world to make a success in life. As we left this grand old school, schoolmates and teachers, we could only hope that we had made a record by our deeds that would long remain. -CAROLYN WORKS.

Through the influence of the Superintendent and Principal many different clubs have been organized. The variety of the organizations has given every student some outside work to add zest to the regular school work. When the new Radio was installed a Radio Club was organized with Nlr. Stinnett in charge while he was here. Mr. Hiatt, who is much interested in Radio, had charge during the second semester. The Club has heard from stations far and near. y One of the most helpful clubs has been the Anti-Cigarette Club spon- sored by Mr. Shultz. The Agriculture Club was one of the largest and most active clubs throughout the year. Mr. Stubbs had charge of this club. Almost the entire student body belonged to the Booster Club. The pur- pose of this club was to boost M. V. H. S. tirst, last and always. There were also a French Club, at Tennis Club, a Public Speaking Club and a Bible Study Club. Each student in High School belonged to one or more of the organiza- tions. Page Forty-Seven TMVHEI THE Hoop Petri IMVHEQ t Booster Club The Hoop-Pole Booster Club was organized to boost Mt. Vernon High School in its activities and to bring about a unified school spirit. This club was organized and the constitution unanimously adopted by the student body in the early part of the first semester in the year of 1922. The officers for the first semester were elected by the student body as follows: George Hanshoe, Jr., president, Alice Zimmerman, vice-president, Sylva Schneider, secretary, Allan Blackburn, treasurer, Jack Barnett, yell- leader, and Mary O. Wilson, girls' yell-leader. Mr. Shultz, club advisor, suggested that a committee be appointed to give weekly programs before the assembly. The committee consisted of five members, with Florence Dickhaut as chairman, and four assistants, Enid Hendricks, Lula Mae Johnson, Esther Schaeffer and Dorothy Wallace and Miss Benton, advisor. At the beginning of athletic activities, an advertising committee was appointed to advertise all foot-ball and basket-ball games. The committee consisted of Walter Dickhaut, chairman, and three assistants. Paul Hironi- mus was assigned to assist in the yells. The election of ofhcers for the second semester was held before the assembly, the officers being: George Hanshoe, president, Joseph Collins, vice-president, Morton Lowenhaupt, secretary, Joest Wade, treasurer, Paul Hironimus, yell-leader, Mary O. Wilson, girls' yell-leader, Mr. Stinnett, advisor. Florence Dickhaut was re-elected chairman of the entertainment committee with Mary Louise Turner, Margaret Brinkman, Grace Arnold and William Howard as assistants. The advertisement committee was re- appointed. The entertainment committee with their snappy and timely yells and weekly programs have proven a great success and we extend them our ap- preciation.

They debated the following question: Resolved, that inter- scholastic athletic contests should not be permitted in High Schools. i The Public Speaking Club supported the afiirmative side of this ques- tion, being represented by Florence Hovey, Harold Ranes and Walter Dick- haut. The Agriculture Class, represented by Alfred Kiltz, Lawrence Murphy and Carl Wheat, supported the negative. The anirmative won the debate by a two to one vote.

Quiteanumber of boys responded to Mr. Shultz's call. Those boys who were on athletic teams and were accustomed to smoking cigarettes de- sired to belong to a club that might break them of the bad habit of smoking. Several dealers of tobacco in Mt.

Those who were far enough advanced in the French course were or- ganized into a French club during the second semester by Miss Covalt, the French instructor. The regular meetings which were held during class periods, offered practice in French conversation and various means of widening acquaintance with French speech and customs. Articles were often given from Le Petit Journal,'g' a French newspaper. French games often displaced the routine of study. The otticers of the club were: Florence Dickhaut, president, Kenneth Simpson, vice-president, and Buford Blackburn, secretary-treasurer.

Near the beginning of the year we joined the Central lnter-scholastic Press Association, an organization of school papers published hy schools all over the United States. This organization gets us into a closer touch wiith all school papers in the country, The exchange of ideas that results makes ours a more up-to-date paper. On December 1, 1922, The Hoop-Pole Junior was represented at the annual conference ofthe C. l. P. A. at Madi- son, Wisconsin, by Walter Baldwin. Among about eight hundred school papers represented, our paper was one to be highly commended. Page 1 it'ly-Seven INVHHI THE Hoop Poke WVHS1 f 'R0'x0 Q' can s. .f 1 .f X.!

Mr. Turpin started the season as coach. He was later assisted by Robt. E. Sherrill, a former High School star and foot-ball coach. The coaches began the season with practice in tackling and running but soon formed a line-up. There were enough men for two strong teams. The boys always worked hard, and played the game with a considerable amount of pep Although the victories were few, the boys never became dis- couraged. Lack of experience was their only trouble. The squads chose Ted Rowe for their captain and he proved to be a de- serving leader and always played the game. The team was always recom- mended by all the opposing teams for their clean playing. Fourteen boys received letters at the close of the season. With Col- lins as captain of next year's squad and with Wade, Lowenhaupt, Scheller and H. Rowe as experienced players, a good team should be produced. Baldwin. Rowe, Kelley, Carr, Stein and Wallace are lost by graduation. SEASON'S SCHEDULE Sept. 31-There-Mt. Vernon Og Princeton 33.

THE Hoop Pots pMVHEl Basket Ball As soon as the foot-ball season closed the boys were ready to start prziclice for basket-ball. When the call came for practice many boys turned ou . The season proved to be very favorable with Mr. Turpin as coach. He put the boys through some hard practice, in order to select his team. Captain Baldwin was the only one left of the first five of the previous team. Turpin had a good second team to select from, nevertheless, and soon the following team was selected: Carr, center, Baldwin and Simpson, forwards, and Dickhaut and Kelley, guards. The first of the games were played with the above line-up, winning the majority of the first games. Unfortunately Simpson was injured in one of the games and had to be ejected from the first Eve, and the line-up had to be changed again. Kelley was shifted to forward, and Lowenhaupt was put in as guard. This combination worked very favorably. Lowenhaupt had been a sub on last year's team and was noted for real playing. With Rube and Lowenhaupt as guards, the opponents got little chance at the baskets and unless they were good on long shots they were naturally out of luck. There is a strong second team left for next year. With Collins, K. Simpson, C. Simpson, Hoffman and Bla.ckburn, there should be a good Hrst team next year. They were always ready to play, and at all times outclassed Simpson were ed to Hoffman the opponents when they were given an opportunity to play. Since the year has proved successful, the first five, and Collins and K. presented with sweaters by the school. Letters were present- , C. Simpson and Blackburn. THE SEASON'S RECORD Nov. 3-Here -Mt.

Page Seventy-Two ll4VH5l THE Hoop POLE INVHEI r- l 4 l l V i i t , LUTHER CARR PuS CENTER This is our 'fbig boy. Pus was shifted from guard to center and filled the place very satisfactorily. At nrst he was noted for his fouls, but he soon overcame that and developed into a real player. He was good at breaking up the opponents' plays and occassionally surprised them by dropping the ball through the loops. His position will indeed be hard to till. WALTER BALDWIN Bally FORWARD With Bally captain of the 22-23 team, success was sure to be in store. His fast playing and his ability to hit the basket has made him an all around star. He has been on the team for four years, and in only one game did he fail to make a basket. He was chosen as a member of the All District Second Team, and was on all the county teams that were selected. lt made everybody feel good when he shot fouls, because we felt sure they were going in. Some player, eh? NELSON KELLEY Kelley FORWARD Kelley was the other one of our good forwards. He seemed to be gift- ed with luck at certain times especially in the Princeton game when he made ten baskets. Another good thing about Kelley was the fact that he could play an entire game without getting his hair Hmussed up. WALTER DICKHAUT Rube GUARD Rube is known as our big fighting back guard. He was always at hand breaking up the opponents' plays and getting the ball down to the other end. Even though his guarding was close, he committed few fouls and every once in a while he outdid himself by dropping one through the loops from the center of the floor. He was one of the best guards that ever played on the local team. He was also selected as guard on the County's first team. Will they miss him? Yea! Page Seventy-Three INVHEI THE Hoop Pope fMVH5l S Indiana State Champs GIRLS' BASKET-BALL 1922-23 Girls' basket-ball was started with much zeal and vim. Before cold weather came, girls could be seen practicing basket-ball on the open court at Junior High School. It was not long, however, until the regular practice started at the K. of P. Hall. Mr. Brown was selected as coach of the feminine team. He, without doubt, deserves a considerable amount of credit for developing a state team. He always encouraged the girls and besides put them through good, hard practice. There was a considerable number of girls who reported for the cause, but the coach found it rather hard to find a good working combination for a first team. Many line-ups were tried and each one seemed to be better, so the line-up for the first half of the season was: Stallings, center, Wilson and Blackburn, forwards, Zimmerman and Johnson, guards. Zimmerman, however, displayed her ability as forward in the Alumni game when she caged eleven field goals, even though she had not played for- ward before. Since Blackburn was better suited for guarding they changed places, giving Mr. Brown an excellent line-up. The team played a splendid brand of basket-ball during the entire season. With only one defeat against them tstill unaccounted forj and by de- feating such teams as Central High School af Evansville and Huntingburgh, they can without doubt be called the State Champions. The team as a whole received many compliments on their good play- ing. Never in a game did they lag behind and quit working but were always as peppy when the game was over as when it started. Only one, Johnson of the regular team, and two subs, Young and Dick- haut, are lost by graduation. So with Stallings, Blackburn, Zimmerman and Wilson back again next year prospects for a winning team are numerous. For their superior playing and their sportsmanship the tive regulars and two subs were awarded sweaters. Stallings, Zimmerman, Wilson, Johnson, Blackburn, Dickhaut and Young received sweaters. Short and Wolfinger were awarded letters. Honorable mention was given Bokelman for her splendid showing for her first year. Dexheimer will also report for practice again if her health permits. So let's hope for another winning team. Page Seventy-Four IMVHSI THE HOOP POLE Nov Nov Nov Dec. Dec. Dec. Dec. Jan. Jan. Jan. Ja n. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb.

She has been complimented as the best center ever seen in action. She is all over the tloor at once, so don't try to locate her at any particular spot. Shels tall too, so there never is any danger but that she'll get all the tip offs. Besides her splendid floor work she has a keen eye for caging baskets. She undoubtedly set the record for M. V. H. S. when she made nineteen field goals ini the Stewartsville game. MARY O. WILSON--Forward Ah! There you are! This is our snappy little forward. Now she'S here, now she's there. She's the swiftest forward you ever saw. She could make baskets from all angles of the floor with one eye shut. Since she was so small she could easily dodge her guards and lose track of them, caging her basket before her opponent was able to locate her. She has been a regular for three years and has developed into an all around basket ball star. Good luck to you! LOERAINE ZIMMERMAN-Forward Here's our old stand by. She's as lirm and steady as a rock. Her pleasant disposition of never losing her temper or becoming excited was her greatest virtue. But through her calmness she made a splendid player both at guard and at forward. She is one of the kind that likes to slip one over on her guard by her steady shots. She succeeded in getting her team out of danger in the First Avenue game by dropping three through the loops within a moment's time. She still has one year on the team, so watch her next year. VIRGINIA JOHNSON-Guard After Dex was unable to play, the next thing to do was to secure another good guard. This was Jm's first year on the hrst team but she cer- tainly made a reputation. She had the fighting spirit through the entire game. By her close guarding she held her forward down to very few baskets. She had a slight temper but we didn't mind it because the madder she got the harder she played. Her graduation will certainly leave a big hole in the team. Miss her? You bet! MYRA BLACKBURN-Guard This was our other strong guard this year. She has been complimented time after time on her close guarding. She can boast of letting her forward make only four baskets in three successive games. She sure did watch 'em. Myra never got mad and was always full of pep, which beamed forth from her eyes. She will be one of the strong factors of the team next year, so here's wishing you luck, Joe. FLORENCE DICKHAUT-Sub-Center This was her first year at basket-ball and considering this fact she made a wonderful showing. She always played her part when she was put into the game and always managed to slip in a few in the time given her. She was also good at guard and forward, playing the former in the Central game and the latter in the Huntingburgh game. Too bad she didn't start sooner. NAOMI YOUNG-Sub-Center She above all the rest was gifted with long arms so that she could al- most lift the ball in the basket. lt took her a little time to get started but when she did start she kept going and always kept calm. She, too, will be lost by graduation.

He was president of the class of 1913, Editor-in-Chief of their HoopfPole, a member oi' the debating team and had the leading part in the class play. Even while in High School he showed evidences of the literary ability with which lie was beginning to attract attention before he died. He was just as prominent in affairs at the University of Illinois, where he was ready to receive his degree. Here he was Editor of the Illinois Maga- zine published by the University. His desire to know life brought him a wide experience. He saw service in the merchant marine. He had been stranded in far countries. He had seen intimately his own country. He knew sympathetically all classes of people and his interest, his tolerance, his liking for people, endeared him to all who knew him. Some years ago a little poem of his was published in the Alumni Sec- tion. This one that follows seems to express the experience of his last months as well as the courage with which he faced these months. TO PAIN What though thy presence lines my face, oh, Pain, And racks my aching body, iilled with ills, I shrink not from thy power: I know it iills My soul with wisdom and a proud disdain For petty human frailities that reign In this blase iiesh, o'er which my conquering will A faster fort from knowing thee doth build. I welcome thee, that brings triumphs attained. I know that thou and Sorrow bring to me, Great visitors, born of sleepless nights when I Lie ill abed and hear the world roar by: Full visions only thou canst make me see, And though thou bringst me age, that should be youth I welcome thee, for thou art life and truth.

She is the mainstay and is absolutely essential to the per- manency of American Agriculture. David Rankin of Tarkeo, Mo., the largest farmer in the world, believed in and raised live stock, and especially hogs. Stormburg of Nebraska, who came to this country a beggar, died a mil- lionaire and he made it feeding hogs. Ellis of Harveysburg, Ohio, fed thousands of hogs on his eighty acre farm while others hauled their grains to his farm only to enlarge his bank account and enrich his soil. Harboldt of Perue, Iowa, made a fortune feeding hogs on twenty acres.
