Announcing the Magician of 1923 THE MAGICIAN S PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE MUNCIE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL MUNCIE, INDIANA VOLUME VIII, 1923 hoe CZIOED MAGICIAN loopllaoc 3QC=3|faopirQl[o| 1923 follPlf ][C HOE lc=3Qi=3l |aop| MAGICIAN IQQPJ [ =ion= ] PROLOGUE gYEAR is an unfolding — a little turn of the long life-scroll. We have finished this year with much joy, a little sadness, greater hope, and true accomplishment. It has been the privilege of the Senior Class to record this memorable year in the 1923 “Magician.” Perhaps in future time, it may conjure for us a magic vision of a year of our high school life. Our earnest desire is that this book may be a credit to the school, and may in a small way express the spirit and fellowship of Central High.

The Class of 1923 welcomes this opportunity to dedicate its “Magician” to two such men whose genuine sympathies, patient counsel, wise humor, and untiring enthusiasm have been an inspiration to the students of Mun-cie Central High School — Frank E.

Lev-erton. It has not only promoted school interest, but it has brought our high school and its talent before the citizens of Muncie. In fact, its reputation has reached much farther than the limits of the city, for letters have been received from many points over the middle west complimenting its work and asking for suggestions for similar organizations. The club is composed of about fifty members. Included in this is a group known as the Dramatic Club Entertainers, who, with their music and vaudeville acts, have furnished entertainments at chapels, banquets and meetings of civic organizations. The club has been very active and for the past two years has averaged more than one appearance a week. Among the more important productions have been the four-act plays, “In Walked Jimmy,” which was the Junior play of the Class of 1923; “Clarence,” which was given for the benefit of Camp Crosley; “The Importance of Being Earnest,” which was the Senior play of the Class of 1922; “Adam and Eve,” and “Tailor-Made Man.” Some of the one-act plays have included “The Florist Shop,” “Thursday Evening,” “The Ghost Story,” Why the Chimes Rang,” “Where Hut in America,” “What They Think,” “Rehearsals,” and “The Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil.” A very unique production was the Riley Pageant, given for the benefit of the Riley Memorial Hospital. Last year the Class of 1923 presented “The Folies of 306.” This proved such a success that they are planning a second annual production for this year. The club is now studying and planning to present a new type of play, the mystery and melodrama type. They will probably give “Three Faces East,” by Anthony Paul Kelly, which deals with the English and German Intelligence Department during the World War. The class of 1923 gave Booth Tarkington’s “Seventeen” as their senior play. allaoplT ][°] 1923 fol|Qll =iop|fc JO I 301. | Ic=ioe=d| laoDl MAGICIAN P9PJ I .obJ (c=io� = 1l =JOE=3|fQl[o1 1923 [o1[S][aop1|cr=30c=3| | irtr i --ioi-- 1 ioopI MAGICIAN laoi=?J s==L° = FIRST GRADUATING CLASS Ql —■ ! |c—JOl )| MAGICIAN I cm 01=31 1( ion 3| HISTORY OF MUNCIE HIGH SCHOOL By Margaret Hughes © HE first school in Delaware County was built by the pioneers of Perry township in 1827. This was a rude log hut about twenty feet scpiare and about eight feet from the floor to the rafters, which was used for a grammar school. Other elementary schools were built between that time and 1811, when the first school of higher education was established. I)r. G. V. Garst, a prominent physician, in 1841 donated an entire block, where the Jefferson school house now is, to the county for a Delaware County Seminary. The seminary was conducted in a small brick building of two rooms and a hallway. One of the first teachers was a Mr. Volney Wilson who conducted the school in a way little better than that in which grammar schools were conducted. However, there were many young people who attended the school, for there were nearly one hundred students attending the seminary in the term which ended in the spring of 1840. A little later, in 1847, James S. Ferris became the principal and at the same time a Mr. Abbott became an instructor in the seminary. These two men not only proved to be very capable, but succeeded in raising the standard of the school to what it should be. The seminary was conducted in the so-called “blab-school” fashion, all pupils reciting their lessons in concert. There was no system of grading: the pupil went to school for the term of three to five months, did the required amount of work and returned the next winter to go through the same routine and the same lessons. Despite the fact that this seems to us an odd and almost useless mode of schooling, the seminary was considered the best school of its rank in the state, and pupils even came from Kentucky and Ohio, as well as from the most remote parts of our own state. The teachers for this school were obtained by a somewhat peculiar method. Before 1837 the trustees of the school asked the applicants a few questions and then hired the ones who pleased them most. Later, the circuit court appointed three examiners, but even this was often inefficient, for the examiners, many times, were not well educated. This condition was bettered when in 1853 the county commissioners appointed one man to serve as examiner for a three-year term. Bev. (). M. Todd was the last county examiner as well as the first county superintendent. Muncie has the honor of being the first city in the state to take advantage of an act of the 1807 legislature which provided for higher education by means of high schools. In the same year, Mr. Hamilton S. McRae, the successor of Charles R. Paine who had been superintendent for one year, took his office. Mr. McRae was the one who first graded the city schools. Miss Emma Montgomery held the prin-cipalship of the first high school in the slate of Indiana. During Mr. McRae’s first term the high school pupils were taken from a part of the Washington building to the basement of the Universalist church. The length of a term was definitely decided by the school board as ten months, or two hundred days of school. It also was decided that to the regular course of three years, one year was to be added for those who wished to become teachers. The first class to graduate from a Muncie high school was the one of 1868. This class was of interest for many reasons; besides being the first graduating class, it consisted of seven girls who were very good friends, all of whom were just sixteen years of age. The members of the class were the Misses Rose Ross, Frone Case, Florence Anthony, Ida llusted, Elizabeth Montgomery, Louise Wilson and Mary Craig. These last four arc yet living; Mrs. Louise Wilson-Cassady lives in Muncie and is very interested in all high school activities. These seven girls, since they were good friends, decided to have a reunion of their class on the twenty-fifth anniversary of graduation. They not lc---ior |c==oi=51|c=3|[o1 1923 follc=3|[aoi=3|f =inoE i |C=� Q1= 1 (=Jor= MAGICIAN l-QQg] c l =K E= 1923 [o3[S]|c=iq ]lrr—101=! ( lor 51 laopl MAGICIAN (aooHaoal only held that one, but also one on the fiftieth anniversary, which was in 1918. At that time Ida Husted Harper, a member of the class who is well known because of her great work in suffrage and for her book, “The Life of Susan B. Anthony,” spoke at the commencement of the class graduating that year. Those women all cherish lovely memories of Miss Montgomery, their teacher and principal. Muncie High School was very prosperous under the management of Mr. McRae and Miss Montgomery who, after her first year here, became Mrs. McRae. Mr. McRae was a graduate of Indiana University and Mrs. McRae, although not a college graduate, was remarkably well educated and had many degrees conferred upon her. She later went to Purdue University where she was the Professor of English Literature for over twenty years. The church basement soon became inadequate so a small frame building having one large room, one recitation room and a cloak-hall, was erected at Franklin and Adams streets, which is the northwest corner of the present location, in January of 1874. The school then consisted of about fifty pupils, but this number was usually sadly decreased by the leaving of the “big boys” in the spring because it was necessary for them to help their fathers with the spring work. Since there were many people who objected to higher education, it was thought best to keep the school as full of pupils as possible, so the promotion and graduation time was changed to March for the benefit of the older boys who left school at that time. The others, however, started on the next year’s course on which they worked until the close of school in June. Mrs. Martha Ivins, whom we all know and love and who is the head of the mathematics department, is a graduate of this school. The frame building did not serve but four years until plans were being made to erect a large brick structure in the middle of the same block. These plans were carried out and in 1880 a three-storv brick building was dedicated. The Muncie High School then had about fiO students. The new building had eight regular school rooms, two extra recitation rooms and the superintendent’s office. The entire third floor was one large hall in which eight hundred people could be seated. Later, this auditorium was divided into recitation rooms. The class first graduating from the “new building,” as it was then called, was the class of 1881. This class had thirteen girls and eight boys who were taught by the three regular high school teachers and a music teacher who was also the instructor of music in the grammar schools of the city. After successfully filling his position as superintendent for many years, fourteen to be exact, Mr. McRae was asked by the school board to resign because of some differences of opinion which were purely political. Mr. McRae’s friends, who were many, advised him to remain in Muncie. He did, and established a school in the second story of the Patterson Block. During this year Professor F. M. Allen was in charge of the public schools. But at the end of the year Mr. McRae was reinstated and served one year, after which he resigned and went to Marion, where he later died. Mr. McRae’s successor, Mr. John M. Bloss, remained here for four years. Then Professor W. R. Snyder took charge of the schools and under his administration the high school was very flourishing. This man was superintendent for thirteen years, until 1903, which is a longer time than that of any other superintendent. Mr. Snyder took an especial interest in the high school of which he had formerly been the principal. While he was principal, Miss Emma Cammack became a teacher in the high school. She is the head of the Latin department and she is a woman whom we all honor and love very dearly. Our next superintendent was Mr. George Roberts who worked very faithfully in the city schools for five years, from 1903 to 1908. During this time the school increased greatly. The high school building became so inadequate that in 1913 it was necessary for plans to be made for a larger and better-equipped building. At that time [C .IQI 3 IQI---T | lc=toi=Dl |c=ioi= | MAGICIAN iqopl (l=ioi= ) there were about two hundred seventy-five students who were taught by eighteen teachers. The last meeting in that building took place on Jun.? 6, 1913, at which time a member of the class first to graduate from the building addressed the school. This woman was Mary E. Moore-Youse who also had taught for a number of years in the building and was very interested in the high school. Mr. Benjamin F. Moore, superintendent of city schools from 1908 to 1918, showed the plans of the new building, the present one, to the student body and to the faculty. At the close of the school year, the tearing down of the high school was begun. The following term, and until the present building could be completed, school was held in a building on North Mulberry street, where the Thomas Auto Top Company now is. Our present superintendent, Mr. T. F. Fitzgibbon, has taken a very keen interest in the high school ever since he came here. Among those others who have been greatly interested in the welfare of the high school are those men who have been the principals of Muncie High School and especially Mr. Frank 15. Allen, our present principal. During Mr. Fitzgibbon’s administration a new high school — the Wilson High School, has been built. The Central High School and the Wilson High School, with a combined enrollment of near two-thousand students, including a graduating class of two hundred and fifty pupils, compare with the fifty students and the seven graduates of 1868, favorably to show the progress made in the fifty-five years of High School life in Muncie.

H. S. athletics for a period of several years. Due to the efforts of several civic organizations, pressure was brought to bear and this branch of sport came back into its own. Thereupon, Central was represented on the gridiron last fall by a creditable eleven. Mr. George Christopher, who himself had been a star in high school football and college football, was commissioned to coach the varsity. It might he added here that “Chris,” as he was known to students, deserves much credit for whipping into shape out of absolutely green material such a team as that which fought for the Purple and White on the gridiron. Following is the team's record: The Knightstown Game. Knightstown opened the season here and was defeated 13-6. This victory for the Purple meant much, because it was in our first game, and also because Knightstown had been playing football successfully for the past three seasons. The season looked bright for Central’s football bearcats. The Bluffton Game. Central’s fighting gridsters kept up their pace and defeated Bluffton High at Bluff-ton, 18-6. Superior playing and trick passes were the feature of this game. This victory for the Purple was a big upset, as Bluffton had one of the fastest teams in the state and was far more experienced in the game. The Richmond Game. At Richmond we struck our first snag. Playing in a sea of mud and against a much heavier team, we had our first defeat of the season. The scoreboard showed Morton 27, Central 0. Richmond later won the Eastern Indiana high school championship. However, the score does not tell the story, as several of our men were out of the game on account of injuries and we lacked experience in playing under adverse conditions. The Newcastle Game. The following week we journeyed to the home of our ancient rivals, Newcastle. This indeed was a battle royal. As the referee’s whistle blew, the score stood at 10 to 0 in favor of the Green and White. Rut what a game our boys put up! It would be impossible to pick a star on the Purple machine, as everyone of our boys put his whole heart and soul into the fracas for old Central. Two hundred students accompanied the team, as did the band. The Wilkinson Game. Wilkinson came here the next week with a pedigree a mile long. One would think Central should have thrown up the sponge altogether and quit, as the Blue and White was figured to romp away with state honors, undisturbed. When the battle was over the score stood at 7 to 0 in favor of the visitors. Undoubtedly Central outplayed the Blue and White, and only through a fluke pass was the latter enabled to gain its lone touchdown. Never once did our line falter, and Wilkinson was plainly very much surprised. The Marion Game. Our team was suffering from a slump in morale, and Marion was quick to take advantage of it. Needless to say, it did not hesitate in accepting chances to romp through our line for touchdowns. Central tried to come back in the second half hut failed to break the Purple and Gobi defense. The score was 25-0. Things began to look pretty dark for our next game which was with Newcastle. But — the gods ruled otherwise. Playing the football of their careers, the purpled warriors of Central, playing before the largest crowd that ever witnessed an athletic contest in this city, played the gridsters from Henry county off their feet and emerged victorious, 12-0, in a fitting come-back for their defeat earlier in the season. Students and fans were satisfied that our first season in the game was a success because of the defeat of our old rivals. The Elwood Game.

They had a smooth-working combination and a bag full of tricks that proved too much for our boys. The score stood at 20-0 at the close of the lirst half, and it looked like a complete walkaway for the tin-platers, but at the opening of the second half. Central took the offensive and worked the hall down to the enemy’s one-yard line only to lose it there. The ball see-sawed up and down the field, neither team finding enough opening to break through for a touchdown. The game ended with the ball on Elwood’s thirty-yard line and the score still standing at 20-0. Central’s playing was not quite consistent enough at times or the result would have been different. Summing up the whole season. Central’s season ended very successfully. Although we won only three games out of eight, it must be taken into consideration that this marked Central’s first year on the gridiron, and as it takes several years to build up a strong football team, Central’s showing was creditable. All the teams that the Purple and White met had been playing the game for several years, and the defeats of Knightstown, Bluffton and Newcastle were nothing short of remarkable. Its showing against the other teams served to earn its niche in the “hall of fame.” The outlook for next year is very bright as only five men graduate, and with several new aspirants for the team. Central should be represented by one of the fastest elevens in the state. Such men as Harrold, Hartley, Thornburg, R. Chase and Olemaeher should serve to make one of the strongest elevens in this section. To Art Beckner, Captain Frank Chase. Robert Mines, Herbert Barnes and Curtiss Wright we wish to express our utmost appreciation for their efforts on the field of honor. These men have played their first ami last year for the Purple and White and they deserve high honor for their willingness and patience to light for their school against great odds. The same may be said of the other members of the team who will be back in school next year to carry on the good work. Captain Frank Chase, Fullback. Frank not only led the team in battle but was awarded the medal given by the Lions Club of the city, for the mental attitude and sportsmanship displayed in games. Frank leaves us this year but will certainly not be forgotten. Arthur Beckner, Right Halfback. Wouldn’t it seem odd if Central were to have an athletic team without Art on it ? Art always had the knack of being where they thought he wasn’t. Central certainly will miss him and that smile for ages to come. Paul Harrold, Left Halfback. “Griz” made his formal debut in C. II. S. t thirties or. the eleven. He came with a reputation as an athlete, and we wish to say right here that we certainly were X TINY H rtC5 PLAYS THE PI UVO IF NOT-TOOT BALL not disappointed. When given the ball he generally was good for a touchdown or twro, and to him goes the honor of making both of Central’s touchdowns against Newcastle. The best part of it is he’ll be on deck next year. Paul George, Quarterback. “Huckle” is the “Baby Elton” of the team, both in size and position. Huck is a sophomore and is good for two years yet. He generally played with one sock up and one sock down, but when it comes to calling signals he can’t be beat. He is going to take lessons from a train caller Icrmoi—=51lc=toE=51fS1[o1 1923 [o11 = llaoi=z lfc=ioirT 1 [°] £661 [olfsifooBirc 1 =301= 1 Lcrsopl NVIOIOVIM c or= lc=ioi=r3l I = Q1= 1 laoPl MAGICIAN |c=iorzDi f =r3oc=)| this summer and promises to be up to the notch next year, better than ever. Marshall Kern, Guard and Fullback. “Chink” filled in both places to perfection, being used to whatever advantage he could he put. He is of tlie versatile kind and looks promising for a regular berth on the varsity next year. Robert Hartley, Left End. Up until the Newcastle game we called him “Bob.” After that he acquired the monicker of “Grit.” Reason: played the first half of the Newcastle game with a fractured forearm. “Grit” is certainly a flashy end and one of the hardest tackiers on the team. Besides making many pretty catches. Grit surely nailed ’em, and believe us, when we say that when they went down they stayed down. Grit will be on deck next year, too. Walter Thornburg, Right End. When “Tootic” was on the receiving end of a forward pass, it was generally “Toot, Toot, Tootsie, Good-bye,” for when it comes to running with a ball, Tootie has a deer skinned a mile. Also he does not know the meaning of the word fumble, as lie is dead on catching passes. Tootic will wear the purple a couple of more years. Henry Eden, Left Tackle. “Horse” did his share when it came to stoppin’ ’em, and more, too. His auburn hair served as a sort of a guiding light. You could always bank on Horse to make an opening in the enemy’s line. He will be back next year. Roy Chase, Left Guard. “Big” Chase, brother of Frank and a whiz when it come to guarding the ball and clipping. Roy earned a feather in his cap last season and looks forward to next year with eagerness. Atta boy, let’s go! Nelson Olemacher, Center. “Glee” snapped the ball like a veteran, but somebody must have put a jinx on him as someone was always jumping on his ribs in most every game. In spite of this handicap, Glee played in every game and did remarkably well. He was severe- ly injured in the Bluffton game but played the whole game through without so much as a whimper. Such a spirit is typical of any man on the team, and a team made up of such men is bound to win. Olee has one more year. Robert Hines, Right Guard. “Tiny certainly surprised us all, and to him goes the fur-lined bathtub. Tiny was always fond of athletics but did not have the build to participate in many sports until football came along. Tiny was quick to grasp the opportunity, and believe us, he certainly filled his job well. Gur biggest disappointment is that Tiny graduates this year. Herbert Barnes, Right Tackle. “Iron Man” is right. Barnsie is there if anyone happens to ask you. It is with our deepest regret Iron Man will not be with us next year. Believe us, he will certainly be missed. Walter Larkey, Left End. When called upon, Larkie never failed on the job. He filled Grit's place to perfection and great things are expected of him next year. William Shields. Right End Just like Larkey, Bill was always johnny-on-the-spot whenever an emergency arose. Bill is going after ’em tooth and nail next year. Curtiss Wright, Left Guard. From Canada “all-Wright” came to us.

A new team had to be turned out, as only Beekner, Thornburg and Haisor remained of last years quintet. About the hardest problem that faced Coach Murray was that of filling Captain “Shod” Warren's position. Among the various candidates for the team, one Theodore Bebout stood out as the most promising to fill that vacancy. Ted had been playing for the past three years on a southern aggregation and only last summer moved to this city. He therefore was new, but Coach Murray decided that he was the man. All one has to do is to look at the individual record to see if Coach Murray knew wiiat he was about. Another newcomer was Paul Harrold, who already had made himself a neat reputation in football, and who made a bid for the forward position. Just as in Ted’s position, Ted tied up his place firmly and the regular team was picked, as the other three regulars, namely Art, Tootie and Toyd showed their old-time form and were all set for the season to start. Coach Murray picked seven other men who were to make up the squad of twelve. They were Roy Chase, guard; Henry Eden, guard; Erwin Walsh, center; Robert Poor-man, forward; Leslie Reeves, forward; Leonard Taylor, forward; and Jesse Morgan, guard. As these seven men who were used as much as possible, Poorman, Taylor and Walsh were successful in making the regular team when tournament rolled around. All these “subs” deserve great credit, since it was only through them that the fast team we had was possible. Only one team that the Bearcats played during the regular season defeated our team twice. This was Martinsville, but we have our doubts as to that team’s boasting qualities. It was plainly through a fluke we lost to them early in the season and most certainly a big question-mark after our trip down to the Mineral City for the last game of the season. Other teams that defeated our team only once are Shelbyville, Marion and Kokomo. These teams managed to break even with the Bearcats, which is much to their credit. Muncie undoubtedly was the under dog during the entire season. It took a whole lot to make the rest of the state wake up to the fact that in Muncie existed one of the classiest and fastest working teams in the state, and not until the state tournament did it wake up to the fact we had a real flghtin’ bunch of “Prayin’ Bearcats.” Season’s Record The following teams are the ones that the Bearcats played in the regular playing season, and the seores with the sea- son’s total arc as follows; Muncie .. .... 19 Eaton . . 12 Muncie .. . . . . 38 Summitville .. 18 Muncie .. . . . . 18 Kokomo . . 24 Muncie .. . .. . 44 Hartford City .. . . 24 Muncie . . .... 24 Martinsville .. 27 Muncie ..

The sectional tournament was held in this city at Campbell’s Auditorium , and the teams of the county participated in it.

By winning the sectional tourney we earned the right to play in the regional tourney which was held at Ft. Wayne’s new high school, the South Side High School. On Friday morning, accompanied by several rooters and the band, the team left in a special car for the northern city. On that afternoon we met Rochester, who was highly tooted. After Tootie, Griz and Art got started down the floor in their whirlwind fashion it was a death edict for Rochester. It did not offer much resistance and the Bearcats were winners by the score of 35 to f . On the following afternoon we met Kendallvillc who had defeated Liberty Center the day before. It was in this game that we almost met our Waterloo. The Bearcats were admittedly a little over-conlident and the refrigerator hoys, playing “over their heads,” led most of the way. That ball just wouldn’t go in when a Bearcat threw for the hoop, and the first half ended 12 to 7 in favor of the Kendall-ville team. Believe us, when that second half opened it began to look blacker than ever, as Kendallvilie ran up the score to 1!) to 12 before we knew it. However, after a time out, our old fightin’ spirit that had carried us clear through the tournament to the finals, began to show, and it wasn’t long until the scoreboard read 21 to 20 in favor of the Bearcats. At this time the game was almost over when a Kendallvilie player tied the score and then the gun went oil. After play was resumed Art was withdrawn on account of four personals and Curly entered the game in his stead. “Fight! Fight! Fight!” rang out from the Muncie rooters, against the almost heart-breaking urge of that Kendallvilie drum corps. How our boys fought! and the game ended 28 to 24 —THE BEARCATS WON! It was our first overtime game of the season and proved our only one of the entire playing. The record of the team at the regional is as follows: Muncie....... 35 Rochester ........... f Muncie ...... 28 Kendallvilie ....... 24 Totals .....f 3 30 Captain Arthur Beckner, Center. Art certainly made a whirlwind finish to his career in school athletics. Art has played for three years on the regular team, starting out as a sub in his freshman year. In this year’s tournament he piloted his team to the finals and was picked as all-state center on the All-State team. He won the medal given by the Lions Club for the player showing the best all-around playing and mental attitude. Art is certainly one of the best all-around athletes turned out by this school and his vacancy will be hard to fill. Assistant Capt. Floyd Raisor, Back Guard. “Toyd is one of the flashiest players that ever bore the colors of this school on the court. He came to us last year right off the state champion Midget team, having been picked as all-state back guard on that team. He faced a rather hard proposition in filling Gene Colway’s position but soon rounded into shape and was considered one of the best guards in the state meet. “Toyd” has won a host of admirers in his two years on the team, due to his clean sportsmanship and stellar playing. Like Art, he will be sorely missed next year. Theodore Bebout, Floor Guard. Filling “Shod” Warren’s position looked nigh impossible, and when Shod received the coveted “sheepskin” last year we wondered where a man could be found to take his place and hold it down. We never figured on Ted, who moved here from the south. Ted just sorta filled in as if he always belonged there and played a wonderful game all season. Ted was noted for his “never-say-die” spirit and kept the boys right at it. He won recognition at the state, and as he, too, graduates, we are confronted by this querry, “Who can take Ted’s place?” Walter Thornburg, Forward. “Tootie” was discovered last year playing with a class team. Coach Murray was of the opinion that he had made a “find” in Tootie. And Tootie lived up to the expectations, all right. He played on the regular quintet last year, but not until this year did he really cut loose. He has |c=ioi=5Hc=ioi=3|fQHo1 1923 foirsifaop]l =3ot= l ior.:- Haoizz |fS1fo| £Z6l follcrjIfaopIf Soc [c=ioi= laopl NVIOIOV1AI laoPl [czr ioizTT I fc=30i=51 icnopl MAGICIAN loop] [ =ior== tile knack of dropping ’em in at all angles, having made more points for his team than any other player at the state. He was unanimously picked on the All-State team and will be back at the old stand next year. He is to our team what Nick Altrock is to the Washington Americans, a regular clown, and we’re tickled to death that he is to be with us for another year. Paul Harrold, Forward. A real athlete is Paul. The kind you read about in books is this young man. Besides setting our debutantes all crazy on his good looks, he sets ’em all crazy when he begins dropping ’em in from the center. Paul can play basketball just as well as his dad can hit high “C,” and he won a position on the second all-state team in the state fracas. We almost forgot to call him by his pet name, “Griz,” and we’re more than glad that he will be on deck next year. Irving Walsh, Sub Center. “Curley” is just as good in making field markers as he is in dishing out “coke and” in his dad’s “Bearcat Rest.” Whenever Coach Murray put him in the game he never failed to make less than two markers. He was used constantly in the sectional meet, and at Ft. Wayne was claimed the hero of the hour when he pulled the Kendallville game out of the fire with his timely marker. Curly is slated for Captain Beckner’s place, and we are sure he can fill the bill next year to perfection. Robert Poorman, Sub. Forward. “Pud” is also a product of the champion Midgets and the same classy game he played with that team was noticed in his playing this year with the Bearcats. Pud is chuck full of fight and centainly does not know the word “quit.” He graduates this year and, like Toyd, he has won a host of admirers for his clean playing and for his ever-present “fightin’ ” spirit. Leonard Taylor, Sub. Forward. “Jack Keefe,” his teammates dubbed him, but that hasn’t anything to do with his playing qualities. In the sectional meet, especially. Jack made himself famous by his ceaseless rain of shots at the basket, and the best part about it was that he made them. Jack is going after ’em next year and is sure to make a real teammate for either Tootie or Griz. Coach Maurice Murray. The man back of it all, Mr. Murray, has endeared himself to every student for his untiring efTorts in turning out such a team as that which represented this city this season. In his brief stay here, Coach Murray has taken two famous teams to the state tournament. In 1921 the Bear- ioi )|f z=30i=z)|fc=31fol 1923 fo1lc=3iraoi=)ir(==ioi j| l =?py= J |c=3gi= i MAGICIAN Lao pj E X M.ntCtMCtlc-K TERRS TOOTS RT THE KENDALLVILLE g ihe FINAL GAME m a r i x Be ginning of game End of first tal J I nd of qA.me nic=joc=3|[S1[o1 1923 [olfSIR } C===JOL=,] |C=3QC=31 |QOP| MAGICIAN [CUOPj c=l01= ) cats went to the semi-linals and in 1923 the Bearcats went to the finals. The Bearcats of ’21, however, were not Ihe same Bearcats of ’23 with the exception of one player. This reflects to Mr. Murray’s credit as he has rebuilt an entirely new team in the past two years that is the greatest that ever wore the Purple and White. Mr. Murray will he back with the boys next year to carry on the good work that he has started, and we have the greatest confidence that he will turn out a championship team next year. THE STATE TOURNEY The Frankfort Game. HE first game of the State tourney started with Frankfort and Muncie facing each other. Each team was a little nervous, as it was the first dip into the Big Show. After pictures were taken, etc., the game started with a rush. Several shots were taken by both teams and many easy ones were missed, due to the aforesaid nervousness. Frankfort was the first to recover from this “stage fright” and suddenly opened up an attack that put it in the lead at the end of the half, 13-11. The Bearcats came back with their old-time fighting spirit in the second round and overcame their opponents. When Beckner, Ilarrold and Thornburg were given the hall by either Bebout or Itaisor they took it down the floor with a rush that Frankfort could not solve. However, Frankfort staged a short rally and tied the score at 25-all, but our Bearcats were determined to go through and dropped in two field goals right before the gun went off.The crowd cheered, as we were counted on in going down to defeat by the majority of fans except our “yelling two hundred” that was present at this time. By virtue of our victory we were now due to play the winner of the Columbus-Richmond tilt, which turned out to be Richmond. The Richmond Game — 33-30. It was estimated by officials that fully twelve thousand people witnessed the Richmond-Muncie fracas. This tops the attendance of the year previous in the final game of the whole tournament. This game was counted on as being the best game of the tourney, both from a sportsmanship and exciting standpoint. Richmond was the heavy favorite, and we were going up against odds as it really had one of the fastest teams in the tourney— only we were a little faster, as the case later proved. Almost before the referee’s starting whistle had dropped from his mouth, Maddox, big back guard for Morton, dropped one in from the center of the floor. This started the scoring for Morton, as one of its forwards dropped in another one from the side. The Richmond lc : ioi jllaopirBIfol 1923 rol[B1[aoPlic= oi=3| |c=ioi=S1 |c=ioi=3l MAGICIAN 1QOPI [j=ion= [ [1 IOEZ ) 1923 rol[QlfSop]|C=IOE=3| l =3Qi=0 |c=3oi= i MAGICIAN IpopJ [ =� p =p) crowd was going wild, and the game began to pick up to a regular horse race. “Y-e-e-e-a-a-a, Bearcats! Let’s light!” came the war-cry from the Muncie section, which was rewarded by a field goal from little “Tootie.” Now our section went wild and the cheering had not died down when BANG! Tootie popped in another one. OH BOY! Never will we forget the noise that that one field goal created! Seemed like the whole auditorium was pulling for a Bearcat victory. Hichmond took time out and talked things over and as play was resumed ran the score up to 14, while our fightin’ Bearcats trailed by two points. The half ended 14-12. Muncie’s pep registered one million. When the second frame opened, it was apparent that both teams were going to win or die in the attempt. It was also apparent that we had put up a stronger fight than Hichmond players had counted on, and they they were plainly worried. Their scoring aces snapped into it at the beginning of the half and rolled up the score almost before we realized it. Things began to look pretty blue for us until Art took time out and talked it over with the boys. What he said we don’t know, but when he signalled that he was ready to begin again, a different team seemed ready to play. It was not long until the score was TIED, due to the accurate goal shooting of Art, Tootie and Griz. Ted and Toyd were also getting their share of the glory for the come-back, as they put up a valiant fight to keep the ball away from our goal, and their accurate passing was a feature of the game. By this time the great crowd that swelled the Colisium was going plain “nutty” over our great up-hill fight, and the Richmond players were scared to death. They had reason to be, because when they took their last time-out they knew they had met their match, for they could not shake off the Bearcats. With two minutes to play and the score standing at 30-2!) in favor of Richmond, play was resumed. Griz was withdrawn from the game and “Curly,” who was inserted into the game, came through shortly with a field goal. Talk about noise! The roof. no doubt, had a hard time to hold to the rafters as that pandemonium let loose. The Bearcats were now in the lead and Griz was put back into the game with instructions to get his man. He “got” him all right, and the ball too, and passed it to Tootie who promptly threw it into the hoop. A Richmond player jumped up and knocked the ball out of the hoop after it had fallen through the loop into the meshes. He was too late, for the guns popped and the “Prayin’ Bearcats” won their game! The final score was 33-30. The Muncie section plainly looked like a mob of maniacs and this is one game that will always be remembered as the greatest fight put up by any basketball team in the history of Hoosier basket-balldom. Crawfordsville Game — 26-19. After a good rest the boys opened up the tourney the next afternoon by facing Crawfordsville. This team had sprung a big surprise by defeating the fast Bedford aggregation in the morning. The Crawfordsville team possessed a knack of coming back in its games and defeating its teams in much the same manner as our Bearcats. The players were dubbed the “Kum-Back” kids by the newspapers, and as both teams took the floor, officials had them pretty evenly matched. The play started off in a rush, but due to close guarding by teams not much of a score could be run up. Each player knew he was fighting to play in the final game that night and the final game meant for the state championship. The half ended 12-10 in favor of the Bearcats. By this time the huge colisium was packed and the mammoth crowd was evenly divided in its pick. A good many expected the Kum-back Kids to live up to their name in the second frame, but they failed to reckon with the Bearcats’ own brand of “kum-back” as they literally swept the Crawfordsvillians off their feet, and as the gun went off the Muncie crowd and supporters went wild as they realized the Bearcats had fought their way to the final game of the whole tourney. l =ioi=r 1|(=ioi=3|[S1[o1 1923 ro1[B1faoDlic:=ioi=3| |c ;:.,zioi:-- 1 | z=ioi=3l MAGICIAN iqopJ [=jg� = l The Final Game. Vincennes 27— Muncie 18. Fifteen thousand people packed the Col-isium on Saturday night, March 18, to watch two basketball teams that had gone through the mill of tournament play and stood out as the two sole survivors of over six hundred teams in the state, battle it out for state honors. One of these teams was Vincennes, a team picked all season to be where it now was, but the other, the purpled “Prayin’-Fightin’ Bearcats” of Muncie was about the last team expected there — except by the City of Muncie. Vincennes had played a hard game in the semi-finals in eliminating our old rivals, Anderson, and was pretty well fagged out. We had a comparatively easy time with Crawfordsville and were rarin’ to go. That championship had to be ours. It was estimated that over a thousand Muncie residents had come down for the final game and this shot our rooting section up to about fifteen hundred yelling fans. The game started with a rush. Both teams seemed a little nervous but quickly recovered themselves. Reese Jones, the big Green and White guard and captain, intercepted one of our passes and dropped one in fully three-quarters the length of the floor. This started the scoring, and Wolfe, Vincennes forward, dropped one in from the side. Muncie took time out and talked it over. The fans were pleading for fight and field goals. The game resumed and the Bearcats made a score on a foul. The play became fast and furious. Each team, after getting the ball, would race down the floor with it, for the guarding was extremely close on both sides. The Green and White again ran up the score till it was 8-1, when the Bearcats pulled themselves together and said “This can never do,” and bang, bang, bang, ran the score up till it was 13-10 where the half ended. Beckner was playing his usual stellar game, Thornburg was keeping it going as usual by his consistent scoring, and Har-rold was making big Jones look like a monkey tied to a tree. Bebout was on the ball constantly and Raisor was brushing ’em off the hoop with the same old light. Things looked good at the end of the half and the fans had regained their confidence. The second half opened with a rain of shots on both sides. The Bearcats, however were playing rings around their contemporaries and making two shots to Vincennes’ one but were unable to connect with the hoop, and consequently the Green and White pulled gradually away. Jones was unable to stop the assault of the Big Three who constantly slipped by him only to lose the count when the ball would roll out of the hoop. It was a heartbreaking contest, but the Bearcats were fighting every inch of the way and as the gun went olT, declaring them out, they were at least comforted by the fact that they had outplayed the new champions, two to one. The official scorer showed that the Bearcats took 126 flings at the basket where Vincennes was satisfied to take 76. The big show was over, but Muncie had gone the limit against tremendous odds, and after all gained more than if it had copped the banner too.

You can read it; it isn’t long and deep. “We - er - a -1 - we sure appreciate your spirit. Thank you - er - er —.” Charles White, although his father once said to him, “Charlie, I don’t see how you could get so homely in seventeen years,” is now the handsomest poet and adventurer known to the world today. Mr. White is shown in his walking suit. Herschel Replogle, philosopher and thinker, has finally succumbed to the temptation of the wicked vamp. Lady Nicotine. The Anti-Tobacco Society is heartbroken. However, Rep has given to the world sixteen volumes on “How to Quit Smoking With the Aid of Life Savers.” In order to obtain atmosphere for his short story, “Hearts and Horseshoes,” Don Sutton has spent twenty-five years at the village smithy. Central is so proud of his perseverance that a story will be written about him in the Mun-sonian’s department of “Distilled Former Students.” Art Helm, famous for his belled corduroys at Central, is now famous for his cow bells in Center township. Art has invented a cow bell which rings backwards and has made his fortune. In the picture, Mr. Helm is on his way to the dairy. Feminine readers will notice that he still possesses his luxuriant, curly tresses. Mildred Piner, after being engaged sev-ty-five times since graduation (that’s only three times per year) has decided that men are too changeable and cannot devote themselves to only one woman, so she has become a - er - a single lady. Miss Piner’s message to the girls of today is, “Girls, don’t learn to dance. It will give you hammer toes like the Prince of Wales’ brother had. I read about his case in the Sunday supplement of the Muncie Star and I immediately gave up my career as a dancer.” Piner still wears ear rings and galoshes. “I just played basketball to be the adored of the wimen,” states Arthur War-field Beckner. Athletics doesn’t appeal to me.” The famous actor has just completed his three hundredth performance of “Hamless.” Darwin Andrews (it breaks our heart to break the news) is a veritable Shylock. He operates a profitable pawnshop. Recently he obtained possession of Johnnie Prentice’s favorite necktie for the mere pittance of three dollars. Although cruel and unfeeling, Darwin remembers his happy youth and his success as Central’s dancing yell leader. “I wish them days were back again,” he said once, with sobs and gargles in his voice. “ But alas! I am now a wandering stew!” I ----ioc=)Hc=top1|cr= |fo1 1923 fo1lc= lfac i= l|c =ioi.......— | 2l [ ] MAGICIAN 10 HE CAN'T TELL ME A THING CAUSE I'M G0N70 BE IN THE MOVIES CANYA SEE I HE DON’T ME HANGIN’ ‘ROUND TH’ WHITE HOUSE 'BOUT 1950, DAB ? mean , 1CC WHITE HOySE HE MEANS JAIL, HAW HAW c=r« THE CHRYSTAL GAZERS’ ANNUAL RAID Ir -tot HARVEY MITCHELL ANTHONY ARVEY MITCHELL ANTHONY started our present electrical laboratory in the year lt)15 in what is now our drafting room. In a short time more room was needed and the laboratory was removed to its present location. He has been the electrical instructor since that time, with the exception of one year during the war when he was in charge of the radio work on all naval airoplanes. Each year Mr. Anthony built up a better course of study and added new things to the laboratory until it is now the best high school electrical laboratory in the country. Large manufacturing companies have recognized men graduating from this course, where before only college men were recognized. Chief among them is the Ceneral Electric. Mr. Anthony now has the electrical course built up to almost perfection. It now takes a student two years to complete it. With this accomplished, he leaves us to study medicine as applied to electricity, leaving the laboratory in charge of Mr. Blackwood, the former physics teacher. The entire student body and also the faculty are proud of his work and proud of the laboratory, but regret greatly his departure. In honor of him the laboratory shall be known from now on as the Harvey Mitchell Anthony Electrical Laboratory.

But Charlemagne has accomplished one grand deed. It lias inspired a cartoonist and he lias illustrated it. For the benefit of those who were not fortunate enough to learn Charlemagne we print the poem below so that they may enjoy the cartoon too. Aided by the vivid illustration it would be very easy for them to memorize it, which we advise!!?!' If he approach with a still greater army?” And tiger answered: “When he shall appear, You will behold what manner of man he is; But what will then befall us, I know not.” Charlemagne Olger, the Dane, and Desiderio, King of the Lombards, on a lofty tower Stood gazing northward o’er the rolling plains. League after league of harvests, to the foot Of the snow-crested Alps, and saw approach A mighty army thronging all the roads That led into the city. And the King Said unto Olger, who had passed his youth As hostage at the court of France, and knew The Emperor’s for and face: “Is Charlemagne Among that host?” And Olger answered “No.” And still the innumerable multitude Flowed onward and increased, until the Kink Cried in amazement: “Surely Charlemagne Is coming in the midst of all these knights.” And Olger answered slowly, “No, not yet; He will not come so soon.” Then much disturbed King Desiderio asked: “What shall we do Then came the guard that never knew repose, The Palladins of France, and at the sight The Lombard King, o’ercome with terror, cried, “This must be Charlemagne!” and as before, Did Olger answer, “No, not yet, not yet.” And then in panoply complete appeared The Bishops and Abbots and the Priests Of the Imperial Shapal, and the Counts; And Desiderio could no more endure The light of day nor yet encounter death. But sobbed aloud and said: “Let us go down And hide us in the bosom of the earth, (Dwjeflr) in the boson of the earth | iorz3==51 |c=ioezd| MAGICIAN Icziog r =xoi=)| Far from the sight and anger of a foe So terrible as this.” And Olger said: When you shall behold the harvests in the fields A Shaking with fear, the Po and the Ticino Lashing the city walls with iron waves, Then you may know that Charlemagne is come.” And even as he spake, in the northwest, Lo! there uprose a black and threatening cloud. Out of whose bosom flashed the light of arms Upon the people pent up in the city; A light more terrible than any darkness, And Charlemagne appeared, a man of Iron! His helmet was of iron and his gloves Of iron, and his breastplate and his greaves And tassets were of iron, and his shield. In his left hand he held an iron spear. In his right hand a sw'ord invincible. The horse he rode on had the strength of iron And the color of iron. All who went before him. Beside him and behind him, his whole host Were armed with iron, and their hearts within them Were stronger than the armor that they wore. The field and all the roads w'ere filled with iron. And points of iron glistened in the sun And she a terror through the city streets. This at a glance Olger, the Dane, Saw from the tower, and turning to the King Exclaimed in haste: “Behold! this is the man You looked for with such eagerness!” and then Fell as one dead at Desiderio’s feet. li---roi= 1lc=ioi=51[Qlfo1 1923 fo1lc= |faopir =ioir=Dt |( IOI 1 |aoi=3l MAGICIAN |c=JOP| f =io =3| CALENDAR Being a Chronolized List of Important Events in the World from September 11 to June 1. September 11. The glorious day. Our parents’ efforts to keep us home from sehool are futile. We come and joyfully sign up for classes. NOTE: I am terribly sorry, but I forgot to keep a strictly complete diary from the first fatal day on through the year. (There, the confession is over!) I’ll skip some days — it’s the customary thing with calendar editors. However, you know how to read a calendar — use your memory and think of the things that happened to you; fill in the days omitted. (I hope you have to work as hard as I.) Those first few days — you know how it was. We had a good time telling one another about the old summer vacation, looking around, and then getting down to Vergil, math, chemistry, and other dear things like them. Again we experienced the joy of coming to school in the morning and the still greater joy of getting out in the afternoon. Between time, it was fun, wasn’t it? Admit it! School at Muncie Central High is good stuff! Well, to go on — September IS. The Pep Club holds it first meeting and elects officers. Nobody injured. September 10.

We started right out and began to take it olT. We took the name off first, and called our own section the Magic Can. Our can may not he classed with the magic lamp symbolical of the Magician when it comes to beauty and grace of lines, but it’s there on the stuff inside. We are going to take our can-opener for a magic wand and conjure up from the bottomless depths of our little old can a lot of things that will interest you. On the outside the can is labeled “Canned Snapshots, Advertisements, Hot Stuff,” so you have an idea of what is coming. As you turn each page, we wave the can-opener and say, “Oogie, oogie, wawa, gliggy gloo glump,” or some magic phrase, and reveal to you — you shall see! Yes, yes! Go on! THE HUMOR EDITORS “Real Hindoo Mystics.” CONGRATULATE US! We have here a little literary work from the never-to-be-forgotten pen of Wm. Y. — or, in plain names, Rill Yoak-em. As you read it we know you’ll say, “Ain’t it so?” which is Bill’s favorite expression when she can’t think of anything else. By the way, take this for the “take-off” on anything your little heart desires. FROM THE RIDICULOUS---------- A tiny, pop-eyed boy with quaking knees and thumping heart walked bravely up to the great door of the building, hoping to slip through unseen, unheard, unsung. Fearfully he cast a wary glance over his shoulder and slipped on through the huge portal. Just when he thought he was safe, the steel door mat rose up in arms, so to speak, and collided with an all-too-large shoe. Sputtering with pent-up fear and emotion the shivering little stumbled and fell. His precious par- cel, which he had so carefully been carrying under his arm, banged heavily upon the cement corridor inside, and the paper burst. An array of shining new books was thus exposed to the cold and hard exterior of the flooring. Weeping with anxiety the frightened boy scrambled up from his fallen state, and made his way to 324 with his battle-scarred books pressed to his heart. He was in the eighth grade. The exact date was September, 1919. ---TO THE SUBLIME A sleekly tailored youth, groomed to the most immaculate state of perfection, strolled aimlessly down the hall. He saw nothing, heard nothing, except the favorable remarks concerning himself. He was deliciously aware of the fact that, although lie wasn’t seeing many people on that morning, all the fairer sex were realizing his elegant presence. He was contented with his popularity and individuality, and yawned luxuriously as he hung his pink-striped overcoat in liis locker. He stretched sleepily as his eyes came in contact with a series of books. The thought of study was dismissed with a shrug, and a quick glance at his wrist-watch caused him to race for the nearest door of the big assembly. The tardy bell rang as he slid into 206 on one of his perfectly shod feet. He was a senior. The exact date was in March, 1923. Wm. Y. AIN’T LOVE GRAND? “Love is grand, also awful,” sighs this happy young pair. “The wind whispering through the tree-tops — a full, radiant moon — a warm summer night — water lapping on the shore — a canoe drifting aimlessly — two hearts that beat as one — oo-o-o-o, gawsh!” Also gush.

Miss Cheney is here shown with her trusty, genuine parafin racquet by her side. She is waiting for her ship to choo-choo into port. “I am quite confident of victory,” said the charming little Indiana school marm when interviewed. French newspapers say Lenglen is nervous and worried. At tennis Cheney is a bearcat! A BIRDIE’S EYE VIEW OF THE YEAR.. By RUFF KNECK Sports Editor of the Magic Can. Oh, dear! My little heart goes pittie-pat when I think of what a glorious year we’ve had in athletics. Oo! oo! oo-o-o-! wasn’t it grand, boys and girls! I feel like crying at the top of my coice: Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!” Just to think that our noble gladiators, fighting for good old Muncie, won the championships in checkers, tid-lee-winks, croquet and African golf without anyone being hurt! The Magic Can, in honor of our heroes, has obtained statements from the captains of each of the teams. They follow: Arthur Lyman, captain of the checker team: “We couldn’t have won without getting support from the supporters who supported us. For instance, I had forgotten that you were allowed to move men out into the king row until little Herschel Replogle stuck out his tongue at me and yelled ‘’fraidie-cat, ’fraidie-cat!’” Charles White, captain of the tid-lee- winks warriors: “It was a hard, rough battle, but we won — tra la, we won, we won, we won!” Coring Austin, captain of the croquet team: “This was my last year to play croquet for dear old Muncie! To my successors in this glorious sport I wish to say this: If you can move the ball with your foot when your opponent is not lookin, do so — but always play a clean, manly game.” Max Miller, captain of the African golf team: “In the memorable words of Caesar, ‘Come seven, come eleven!’ ” The inter-class tournaments also were very successful. The Seniors won in the game of “Button, button, who’s got the button?” The Juniors triumphed in “Go, sheepie, go!” The Sophomores were victorious in a game of wood-tag. The Freshmen merely won - dered. NEAR-ER-ER TO THEE We don't think Princess Minnehaha Rather-ford-it is looking where she’s aiming, but Chief Eagle-eye Lockwood is, so you’d better dodge.

The picture at the left shows an exciting moment in the famous inter-class sweep-steaks at Funk’s Lake on Christmas morning, January 1. Daredevil Wylie is sweeping around the southwest turn in his Ostrich speedster at the death-defying pace of 2,0000 miles an hour. Critics say Wiley would have won the race had it not been for a strange incident which occurred just before the finish of the event. It seems that when the starting judge appeared above the track to end the race, the Ostrich became frightened because of the checkered Hag and buried its head in the turf — presumably to hide. WINE, WOMEN, AND A UKE! This is a scene from a wild midnight orgy which recently took place with the members of a certain well-known dramatics organization as the leading characters. It is said that the spirits flowed freely and joy and mirth were unconfined. The two stewed individuals in the accompanying picture are a prominent singer who has won many laurels of the stage with IDS flute-like voice, and a successful dancer who has lightly tripped HER way into the heart of Muncie’s Broadway. It’s a hard life, boys and girls. Don't join the Dramatic Club. HELLO, COWBOY! “There’s no bull in this picture,” says Dale Clark, “for I really used to be a cowboy— down on the farm. Those were the rough old days before the girls frizzled their locks and adopted the baby stare. Every Saturday night we used to ride into DaleviUe and shoot up the town — with air guns — and get a good game of tiddle-ee-winks started in the middle of the street before the town marshal got wise.” In the picture above, “Bad Aig” Clark, as he was known to the terror-stricken countryside, is shown in the act of cowing. |t- iqe= 51Ic=iop1|cz3|[o1 1923 1101 I(— roi= 1 laopj MAGICIAN IQOQI f =ioi=)| SATRITA’S FLAME This is Sarita’s flaming-haired flame at the tender age of — we forgot to ask.

OFF TO THE WILDS “Modurn civulizashun is a joke,” declares Miss Haney Wiggs, the young intellectual, who recently caused a sensation by announcing that she would retire to a woods three miles south of York town, there to lead the primitive life unhampered by the world of men and things. “There ain’t nothin’ done right nowheres,” she says. “Seems like all folks thinks about in these here times is to spend their mazuma and have a rip-roarin’ good time.

I am at work on a new book,” says Mr. Sutton, “in which I shall try to show the utter folly of eating vegetable sou]) with a knife, trying to please an English teacher, loving two women, slapping a policeman in the face, and jumping ofT a ten-story building.” If he can prove these points satisfactorily, Mr. Sutton will win the celluloid ear-muffs offered by the Ice Men’s Union of Northern Alaska. jllcnoplfolfol 1923 [oirS1l =ioi= |[c 30E ior l =3Qt= 1 laOETDl MAGICIAN =ioi= t=IOT=D MERMAII) MARTHA Isn’t it an alluring, winsome, truly beautiful work of the photographer’s art?

The athletic girl of to- day is wasting her time.” Miss Lockwood is shown opposite, working on her new book, “The Futility of Boxing.” Miss Lockwod’s pen ........... Dicky O’Mowd. X X X X “Nossir!

THE WRONG DOPE, LADIES Coach George Christopher wishes to correct the erroneous report which has been circulated throughout the community that this is the famous picture of “The Masculine Venus.” “It is very embarrassing to be stopped on the street and asked if I was the model for that masterpiece,” he says. “You will notice in the picture above that I have both my arms and legs — so it couldn't be so.” [CTZ=IOI= 1|(=IOPl|C=D|[o1 1923 [o1i =)l[QOI= ir = =30f= l I =ioi= 1 laoPl MAGICIAN |c=iop| l ==ioi= l SQUAW LEADS REDSKIN REVOLT Scouts have reported to General Nuisance that the Bigfeet Indians are growing restless on their reservation near Eaton. They are said to be dissatisfied with the way in which Eaton fared in the sectional basketball tournament here. Hundreds of Bigfeet, howling vengeance against the settlers at Selma, were seen doing their wild, fantastic dances in the Riverside Park dance hall. If reports are true, the redskins will be led on the warpath by beautiful Princess Ha Ha, known in private life as Bernice Clapp. The princess’ picture, taken in particularly savage moment, is shown above. ARTIST SEEKS MAMMA NATURE Miss Frances Wylie is seen setting forth to do a portrait of Mother Nature, whom so many of us have heard about but never have talked to. Somebody has told Miss Wylie that Mother Nature is in the woods in the background, and the young artist is starting in that direction to find the old lady and get her to pose. Miss Wylie has not yet returned to civilization to report the result of her quest. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS What day did Christmas come on in the year 1855? —HARRY HOOVER. ANS.: The 25tli of December.

And just when the big moment in her life had come, too! Frederick Lockwood, tlie handsomest, most blase, most masterful, dashingly dashest man in the senior class, had asked her to go with HIM! Joy! Rapture! Bliss! Perfect heaven! All her fondest hopes were exceeded. To think that the godlike Frederick would stoop from his shiekish throne and raise her to the sublime heights! It was almost too much. But now that she had vamped him, how could she keep him enthralled as her slave? No evening clothes! No softly shimmering gown to strike adoration in his manly heart and throw him headlong at her feet! The first day of the three days of grace flew by with Maggie almost distracted. How would she get her evening gown? Then Maggie noticed our ad in the Mun-sonian. Bead what she said in her letter to us. We have permission to publish it just this once. “Ah! My evening gown is finished — and how easy it was! Whv, I made it myself for a dollar, and I would have paid ninety-nine cents at Kresge’s. And what fun it was — with a piece of linoleum I fashioned the dainty skirt and hemmed it with the ribs of father’s old umbrella. And the basque! — who ever would have thot that brother’s old tent could be fashioned into such a delicate, cob-webbv wearable? The sequins of white zinc that I bit off the bath tub. And. last of all. the dainty bat made from the old door-mat. that fits the head sublimely and looks like an ant-eater poised for llight. As soon as the carpenters and paperhangers are through. I shall make a negligee out of the old boards and wallpaper, with perhaps a nail or a monkey-wrench here and there for trimming. “How I appreciate the Institute! (Signed) “MARGARET E. GRAFTON.” Maggie went to the dance and is now engaged to Frederick. Another heart made happy by our institute. Write today for yourself and find your bluebird.

That’s why this Magician had to call on others to help. First of all, We had to call on Mrs. William Youse and Mrs. Louise Cassady who so gladly furnished material for our high school history. Since the high school is always proud of its former students who have gained distinction, we asked Chic Jackson if he would help us out and he willingly gave us a page of his famous cartoons. And while we are speaking of art, w'e wish to thank Ruth E. Miller, Frances Franklin, Myron McCormick and Robert Poorman for their help. The book could not have been a success without them. Harry Hoppes, the big camera man, helped us out by taking pictures of familiar high school scenes. Who doesn’t like to read Lola Yoakem’s squibs? Thank you for them, Bill. We are sorry Paul ------, that your modesty keeps you from public recognition, but we thank you anyway for your share. Those who helped by donating snaps or writing personals are too numerous to mention singly, but we thank every one of you just the same. You never saw anything like the way the Freshmen Club sold annuals and put our subscription drive over. And now dear reader, you deserve thanks and sympathy for having read thus far through our 1923 edition of the Magician. That’s all—there isn’t any more. !C 3oi=51|aoi= |[B][o1 1923 ro1fBlfaop]i =3QC= l ■V -� r , 1 W; 4 .. .-w ? w A % ,,. m'% ■;•«■■■ -ifts � gRjfc b , K. r ,«S v •A 4- ' vivV'- n£i- rifr Vj A ? ■. ■ svv « ft ■ ■ -f - !%' IHi .• «« A ■ , K i; ,7 V .v'« nt V ,h%- X 4hl j . k feo VfSjiv • .
