His appearance was enough to please anyone. He wore a pair of white serge trousers, blue coat and tie. His white canvas shoes and a white cap completed his costume. His hair and eyes were dark and after glancing at him, one would turn to take a second look. His whole carriage was such that anyone, friend or stranger, could tell that he. was accustomed to having his own way. Dick had set out this time to have it. He jumped into his car, which stood outside the door, and headed it toward the Country Club. As it was a warm day in July, there was not much going on at the Club. Well aware that the object of his journey this day was sure to be inside, Dick jumped from his machine and started toward the house. Several of the men lounging in the shade called to him, but stopping only long enough to answer them, he rushed up the steps to where a girl lay in a hammock. Rosalind Hal- lowell sprang from the hammock in evident pleasure. HCan you come for a ride? I have something important to tell you, cried Dick. ' I certainly willf' replied the girl, for I have been wishing all after- noon for something to break this dull monotony? '

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

Without another. word, they climbed into the car and were off down the road. For a fewvminutes neither spoke, Dick being busy with the car. What is this important thing which you have to tell me?'f coming from Rosalind, were the first words to break the silence. ' I wished to tell you alone and could not wait any longerj' were Dickls words. We must persuade your father to let you marry me immediately, because I have just received word that my uncle, a very peculiar man, has died in Colorado and has bequeathed me his entire for- tune, on the condition that I marry one of the girls of our set before the month is up. But you know that father will never consent to our marriage until I am twenty. But, perhaps, we can think of some plan to change his mind. Silence ensued while both searched their brains for some plan. HI have itf' cried Dick. HWell, please hurry up and tell me, as I can't think of anythingj' said the girl. Is your father at home now? asked Dick. Receiving an afiirmative answer, Dick turned the car around and directed it toward the summer home of Mr. Hallowell. . Why don't you tell me your plan? Perhaps I will not consent to it, and I certainly will not if you don't tell me.'7 '6Well, it is this. I am to play the part of a hero for onceff And thus saying he told her' the plan. It pleased her exceedingly and she joyfully consented. 'Q Arriving within a short distance of her home, they ran the car to the side of the road and started across the field to the orchard behind the house. Reaching the banks of the lake, which bordered the orcliard, Dick quickly unfastened the canoe and turned it over. Taking off her large sun-hat,'Rosalind threw it out upon the water. Then they turned and ran into the garden. Rosalind seized the garden-hose from its rack and turned the water upon Dick. I-Ie squirmed and twisted, but stood it until he was thoroughly soaked. Then he took the hose and with a little more mercy than Rosalind had shown him, he turned the spray uponher. S'Hurry! hurry! exclaimed Rosalind, here comes Pete, the gardener, and you know he will tell father, if he sees us? But the admonition came too lateg for Pete had already seen them and had started toward them at a rapid pace. Dick saw that the only way out of it was to take Pete in- to their secret and secure his promise not to tell. A bright silver dollar, added to their persuasions, won the day and Pete gave his promise. I-Ie turned toward the house to do his part while the happy couple started toward the lake. Pete approached the porch where Mr. Hallowell sat leisurely smoking and reading. '
