for the government. Far and Wide he was known as 6'Funny-Face, the outlaw. We tried to get him to return home With us, but he said, Noblesville has long since run out of cans and therefore it Would be use- less for me to go back. Taking sorrowful leave of this, our last class- mate, We hurriedly started back, and after a long trip We safely arrived in Noblesville, the home of good old N. H. S., having seen many sights and bringing back sad remembrances of my old class-mates of 1911. GEORGE BOWEN, '11.

1 as EDITORIAL ' Qty I THE OTHER SIDE 51 T IS an old saying, that one side of a story is good until the other side is told. During the past few' years, and especially this last year, there has been a great deal of criticism concerning the High School boys. This criticism has been carried to such an extent that it might be called vindictiveness. ' It is not necessary to rehearse town talk, but much that has been said has been absolutely false. These citizens, who have no sons in I-Iigh School, have done most of the talking. In this censm-ing of the students, these people have made no allowance for the boy spirit. The present situation of the boys is due to the fact that there is no place in the city for boys to go to enjoy themselves in manly sports. In the modern age the boy's interest is centered, not' in the home so much, as in public gathering places, where he may associate with companions of his own age, possessing the same interests. These gatherings consti- tute the training school for the boys intellectral, social, physical' and moral development. At the present time there is no place in Noblesyillejl for a basket-ball game. Foot-ball has been abolished by public senti- ment, boxing is denounced as prize-fighting, boys are criticized for loaiing around bowling alleys and pool rooms, and, apparently, there is nothing for the boys to do, but to join the Mens Bible Class. Criticism is' useless unless a remedy is provided. While it is an old story, repeated until it has become thread-bare, we again call for suitable quarters for indoor athletics. There an absolute necessity for a decent place for boys to congregate. No person can deny it, unless he be the parent of a 'isissyfrwlio has no spinal column, and is only tit to sit idle with his hands folded in front of him. I ' While we desire to obey the rules of the school, we earnestly insist that the time has come for the people of Noblesville to realize that Boys will be boys, and that instead of games of all kinds being prohibited, they should be given intelligent direction and that a suitable place should be provided for the development of athletics under proper control and management. IN ARRANGING the art work for this yearis Annual, we selected a dif- ferent plan from that of former years. Almost the entire work was given to Russell Cottingham. The Staif knew his work from previous Annuals and felt sure of uniform and excellent work. We are more than pleased with the results and feel that the success of this book is due largely to his willing efforts. This school is justly proud of Russell and feels that he will add another to the Noblesville boys, who have won success in magazine art. ev 'ui w L fl? .M -.1 ' J
