WONDERFUL GROWTH World Takes off Hat To Two American Scientists-No More Wars. CWritten by Alice Wally 1930. The growth of the infant country, Skootare, has paralyzed the world. This empire sprung up like Phoenix from the ashes of old Europe, who remained too infirm to combat with this new enemy. Skootare, these two years, has made the best of her opportunities. She has gained new territory by simply reaching out and taking it. Her army is the best trained in the world, her defenses the most complete. Skootare, slowly reaching out, has gradually gathered to her fold half the countries ofEurope and turned convetous eyes towards America. One day this old blood soaked earth looked up aghast, in dumb speechless amazement, for Skootare had lossened a thunder bolt in the form of a decalration of war upon America. While Skootare was moblizing her vast forces on land and sea, two American scientests, Miss Mary Lacy and Miss Athleen Catterson, were busily experimenting in their New York laboratories. The next day they were closeted with the President A secret meeting of the Cabinet was called. Congress was summoned to a special session A formula was given to several munition plants, with orders to turn out within the next twenty-four hours, 16,000,000 bombs. These bombs were duly turned over to the government, and almost before the American people realized what had happened, submarines and armed zeppelins were on their way to Skootare. That night came a wirless saying that the army had landed in Skootare and the engagement would take place the next morning. Tuesday morning, the two arnies faced each other for the attack. The command was given, and the enemy advanced upon us. Suddenly our air-ships swept low over the enemy, hurled their bombs and darted up- wards again, For an instant there was a soft blur, then a peculiar penetrating odor filled the atmosphere. Instead of hearing the shrieks and groans of the wounded and dying the air was filled with howls and yells of men in helpless fits of laughter. Erstwhile enemies, thirsting for one an- other's blood,were now strolling about with their armssabout each others' necks. From all over the fields came the sounds of singing and laughter. A truce was called, negotiations started, and peace, now and forever, declared. The secret of those bombs Cwhich are nothing more than laughterized airj has been sold to all countries of the world, and thanks to those two American women, the war lords shall never trouble ,us more.

THE door of Kelly's Kandy Kitchen swung slowly open and a listless form stepped out into the sunlight. Red James wandered aimlessly and forlornly up Main Street, munching from a sack of chocolate creams. He fought back from his mind the memory of Marion Gordon's sparkling eyes and tried to suppress the recollection of that curly coppered tendril which persisted in obstructing Julia Ramsey's hearing. Then his mind abruptly changed to thoughts of Windsor High and his future place in the sun A frown showed on his brow and reaching for another of his chocolate creams, he muttered tragically to himself, I'm done with these girls. His step quickened as he saw a familiar form turning the corner beyond Mrs. Barton's boarding house, and he recognized his chum, Jerry Ames. Hi, Red, hailed Jerry. Lo , grunted Red. Have a chocolate? Don't care if I do, said Jerry, helping himself liberally to the proffered sack. O boy, he went on, there's a pippin at our house, Betty Bardon, a cousin from Sterling. Why can't we have a meeting of the club at our house tonight? I'll introduce you to her there. Alright, Red agreed. Gallup Eddie and let him know and l'll tell Bud. So long. So long, replied Jerry. Don't forget. The Club was composed of four boys, Red James, Bud Faulstick, Edgar Carlson and Jerry Ames. Red pursued his way up to Mrs. Barton's boarding house where Edgar and Bud lived. He could see the dome of the school library far up the street as he passed Tenth Avenue, and he sighed, Gee, life's just one thing after another. That night Red and Bud arrived at the Ames's home for the meeting of the club and were greeted by Jerry, who then called up the tardy Edgar at Mrs. Barton's. Be there in two seconds, came over the wire. Very good, Eddie, relied Jer.1y, jokingly. Red James sank confortably into one of Judge Ames'sfavorite easy chairs and dangled one leg carelessly over the arm. He was debating with himself whether to take Marion Gordon, Julia Ramsey, or Mary Ames to the Junior Prom, which Bud and Jerry were discussing. Whom are you taking, J erry? Bud asked. Julia Ramsey, was the answer. Your charming sister has agreed to honor me with her presence, Bud dramatically Went on. A quick step was heard on the porch and Eddie bounded into the room. Just been framing up a date with Marion Gordon for the Prom, he announced triumphant- ly, as he slapped Bud Faulstick a friendly thump on the back. Is'nt she a wonderful girl? Whom are you taking, Gloom? he asked Red. Dunno, was the answer. I'm offa' these girls. Think I'll stag it. . Just then Betty Gordon, who had been looking all over the house for her throat medicine, as her throat was Very sore, incidently stepped into the room. Oh!, excuse me, I did'nt know you were having a meeting, apologized Betty, starting to turn from the room. l Aw, come on in Betty. I want you to meet my friends, Jerry begged. Betty came in blushing deeply, and was introduced to the three boys. She almost knew them already from Mary's glowing description. h bRed's heart quavered. He smoothed back his hair and fumbled with his tie, tryingito look is est. Gee, she's a peach, he thot. Page Thirty Four 1 91 7 The Annual 1 91 7 While Betty was chatting to the boys, Jerry edged over to the wall and switched off the lights. An unmistakable smack was heard and the lights were on again. Oh, exclaimed Betty after a pause, You mean thing. She then demanded to know who had kissed her. They all denied it and she fied indig- nantly from the room. Betty went up to Mary's room and told her all about it. I think it was simply mean of Jerry to turn off the lights, she argued. Do you have any idea who did it? Mary asked. No, unless it was Bud. He was sitting near me, she went on. I-Ie had his nerve, replied Mary. But they were not yet convinced of his guilt. The next day the boys themselves, not knowing Cexcept oneb who had kissed Betty and each secretly desiring that pleasure, sent her an apology admitting his guilt. She received a note from Bud, with an apology, a note and a box of Kelly's Kandy from Red and a box of Howers from Edgar with a note enclosedxin which he asked to be forgiven. Jerry squarely denied it that morning when they met on the stairs. That evening Red James spent on Judge Ames' porch. There was a moom. A week later, on the morning of the junior dance Betty was sick with the mumps which had developed from the soreness in her throat. She had promised Red that she would go to the dance with him, but now, on account of the mumps, could not go. Mary, will you please 'phone to Red and tell him I can't go to the dance? Betty asked. Yes, it's too bad you can't go, you are such a pretty dancer, Mary sympathized. She telephoned Mrs. Barton and asked for Red, but Eddie came to the 'phone. I want to speak to Red. KlCaIn!t.9! HWhy?!7 He's got the mumps. Kathryn Cottingham. Mr. Crosby Bakesla Cake MR. Crosby stood by the shining kitchen cabinet in the sunny kitchen stirring up a cake. Near by, spread out as comfortable as possible in one of the stoll chairs in the kitchen, was her husband watching her do the Saturday's baking. For Mrs! Crosby's kitchen always contained savory odors on Saturday when she was preparing things for Sunday dinner. Noticing the numerous ingredients that his wife was putting in the cake, Mr. Crosby remarked, I'll bet that I can bake a cake and not use half the stuff that you do. It'll be just as good, too. My Mother used to make some mighty good puond cakes and I'm sure she didn't have all that stuff. Well then, replied his wife, if you think you can bake as Well as I can, why don't you bake one of those 'mighty good pound cakes?' I'm sure I Won't object and we can have it for supper tonight. Mr. and Mrs. Arnold will be here, you know. , All right, just let me show you , answered Mr. Crosby and he started his preparations for making a cake. He first hunted a sauce pan. Then, recollecting that pound cakes had raisins in them, he journeyed down to the corner grocery store after a package of raisins, Half of the raisins, unwashed, were emptied into the pan and to this he added a little sugar and some milk. But surely, he thought as he stirred it, something else ought to be in it, so he added a little baking powder. Again he stirred and stirred, but the moisture did not become very thick and, somehow, it didn't look just right so he decided to consult his wife. Say, what's the matter with this anyway. he demanded. Perhaps if you would add a little flour it would help matters, said Mrs. Crosby who had Page Thirty Five 1 91 7 The Annual 1 91 7 managed to keep a solemn face throughout the proceeding. This advice was acted upon by her husband but the contents of the saucepan only became a sticky mass of raisins and flour. Crlancing up at the clock, Mr. Crosby said casually to his wife, By the way, I promised to meet a man down town this after noon and as I won't have time to bake the cake here, I'l1 take it down to the bakery and have it baked. You won't have to bother with it there. Upon his arrival at the bakers, Mr. Crosby handed the baker a package and gave him the following order, Throw that thing into any convenient place that you can find and send a pound cake out to my home in time for supper tonight. Whether or not Mr. Crosby got to see the man downtown, it is hard to say but he was very careful that he should arrive home about the same time as the guests would get there. Per- haps Mrs. Crosby wondered why her husband brought no pound cake home with him but she soon discovered the reason. Upon going into the kitchen, she found a baker's package on the table with the following note g Mr. Crosby: i We are very sorry but we have no pound cakes and are sending you an angel food which we are sure will be just as good. Yours respectfully, R. Scott Sz Sons. Inez Cornelius. How Sunset Made Good SUNSET came strolling down the college campus, unheedful of the merry groups of stu- dents about him, so gayly planning their Christmas vacations. Everything about the old college seemed bright and cheerful, in contrast to Sunset's gloomy appearance. In his hand he held a telegram, saying that his father would be there to spend Christmas day with him, and Sunset was broke. His father was an ideal man and Sunset loved him more than any other His life ambition was for Sunset to be a great man, But not being blessed with an abundance of this world's goods, he found it somewhat difficult to keep his son abundantly supplied with money. Yet his last letter had contained the unsually large amount of fifty dollars. But Sunset's genial disposition, kindheartedness and willingness to lend a helping hand, had won. him many friends, who were always more pleased to see his father's name signed to a check than to a letter, this being the cause of his being separated from his money. Sunset wandered aimlessly away from the campus and its scenes of gayety in utter dejection. Presently he found himself watching the final preparations of the cinder path which was to be the scene of the great annual stunt of the old college. The one hundred and twenty yard dash, which was to take place the day before Christmas meant a purse of one hundred dollars for the winner. Sunset was startled with a sudden idea, could he win that purse? True his experience in racing had been limited to chasing J ack rabbits over the boundless Prairies and racing against the mighty blizzards of his far Western home. It was now but three days until the race, and Sunset realized that here was his chance, So he hurried back, side stepped and dodged his way, through the campus, and succeeded in getting his name entered in the great event. Some mighty facts forced themselves upon him, for the best athletes in the college were to be his competitors, among whom was Hurricane Harry a general favorite and a sure winner. The morning of the race with its clear, cool, intoxicating ,atmosphere found Sunset attired in an abbreviated bathing suit Cwhich he had succeeded in borrowing from a friendj, toeing the mark. Fear had so gained the mastery that in dumb agony he stood with his knees quivering beneath him, his shock of red hair standing on end, and his courage could have been covered with a postage stamp. ' ' ' Page- Thirty Sm I 1 91 7 The Annual 1 91 7 What a fool I've been , he muttered, as he gazed on those trained athletes. When suddenly the voice of the starter rang out, Get ready and at the crack of the pistol they were off like a flash. Amidst the tumult of the hurrahing thousands, you could distinguish the yell from the youngest freshmen to the continual cheer of the oldest alumni. ln a few seconds, when the leaders were at the fifty yard mark, with their heads back, and going like the wind- Sunset found himself five yards behind, with everything to himself Then he remembered his old Dad's parting words, when witha cheery look, as he bade him goodbye, he said, Make good, lad, make good. As the whip and spur is to the quivering thorough-bred, as the deep mouthed blood hound's heavy bay is to the startled stag, so was the thought of those parting words to Sunset, and into his clear blue eyes there flashed a look of invincible determination. As with a quiver, he lunged forward. With one tremendous effort, he fixed his eyes steadily on the goal ahead. Suddenly the tumult hushed and there was still intense silence like that of great cathedral reigned. All eyes were fixed upon Sunset. He had gathered himself into one compact body. His head and chest forward, his muscles writhing and knotting like live things, and his feet going like mad. The crowd swayed and trembled and then remained transfixed. Steadily he gains one yard, two,-three,-four,-five yards, he passes them one by one. Only the favorite, Hurricane Harryj' is yet in the lead. In their excitement people forget to breathe. On and on the runners flash, faster and faster until the goal is almost reached. With his jaws set like steel, and with one mighty effort, Sunset lunged ahead and over the line, a sure winner. The crowd gasped and began to breathe again. Suddenly they broke loose in one tre- mendous roar. Hats were thrown away, people were shaking hands. With whom it did not matter. There were some hilarious young men among the hurrahing thousands who fell over one another in their efforts to reach Sunset. He was boosted to their shoulders and carried triumph- antly off the field of Victory- and it was a crimson day for Sunset. Pauline Fryberger. The Wireless Bug IT was about the month of August in the year of 1913 A. D., that James Branyna became infested by the awful disease known to some as the wireless craze. Altho its effect is not always injurious to the health, it is like the famous Ford in its formidable campaign against the purse. Poor James had to cut his social life at the picture show down to one night every two weeks so that he could raise the funds to buy the ideal of his dreams, the wonderful wireless set. He worked at his father's grocery store on Saturdays and mowed lawns for the neighbors through the week. He even stopped to wash the dishes every morning, noon and night for fifty cents a week. Every night instead of going out to play with his chums, he would go up stairs, remove the loose boards in his closet floor and pull out the salt sack which would someday open the golden gates to his happiness and his ideals. After he had counted and recounted the shining coins which it contained, in a manner somewhat similar to the wondeful Silas Marner, he would silently put the sack of coins back into his treasure vault. Thenhe would go down stairs and get the wonderful books and catalogues for which he was sacrificing so much. He had sent for them about two weeks before and now they looked as if they had been handed down for about fifty generations. About nine-thirty his father would threaten to burn his library if he did not go to bed. Page Thirty Seven 1917 The Annual A 1917 Time slowly plodded on and as days passed, the little salt sack expanded and grew heavier. One Saturday he found that his day's wages would complete the fortune which would be neces- sary for him to invest in order to get the wonderful wireless set. James was up early Monday morning and spent some time in choosing the apparatus which appeared to him to be the best. It was a very proud boy who strutted into the post office that Monday morning. Anybody could see that his business was not to inquire for his pa's mail A group of his chums standing on the street corner asked him what the trouble was. When he told them he had just sent for a wireless set, they thot he must be awfully smart, so they made him leader of their gang. At the next meeting of the gang they all decided to get a wireless set too. James counted even the minutes from the time he sent for, until he received his set. He was at the station every day before the train arrived. One night he had a grand dream 5 he dreamed that his set had arrived on the morning train. He unpacked it and connect- ed it to the aerial which he had raised between two trees. He then went into the house and sat down and put on his receivers. Then suddenly, there came little buzzes just like the ticking of a clock. He at once realized it was the government station at Arlington, Virginia, sending out the time. Just as he gave a scream of joy, he woke up, yelling with all his might. Of course this awoke his mother. When she asked him what the touuble was, he said he only had a bad dream. He could hardly go back to sleep for he could only think how happy he would be if his dream should come true. The next day was Saturday and the morning train relieved him of his agony. Just as soon as he got the box he sped down the street and ran into the house calling, It's come! It's come 1 His mother asked him what had come but he was so out of breath, he could only point to the box. His whole body was shaking with excitement. In fact, he was shaking so much his mother had to open the box for him. His eyes sparkled like diamonds when he actually beheld his shining treasure. He first took the beautiful instruments to his room and then got the wire and made his aerial. There was not a happier boy in the world than James Branyan. After everything was ready for use he went to the store and worked the rest of the day. That Eighcic he sat down at his set, and at ten minutes until nine, he heard the buzzes he had heard in is reams. Calvin Wolfe.

Regular meetings are held every two weeks on Tuesday morning at the high school building for the purpose of studying the great men of the bible. Some splendid programs have been given. The girls are so pleased with their first scholarship that they are taking a second scholar- ship for another Filipino girl this year. This money is to be raised by a self-sacrifice fund of forty cents, to be paid by the last of May by each girl. This is a new idea and all the girls seem very much enthused. Large crowds have attended every meeting to enjoy the fine programs with the good music. The girls are very thankful to Mrs. Fred Hines who has taken such an interest in their work. In response to the demand for a new gymnasium, the girls gave a penny dinner at the high school building on Tuesday, May 8. This was one of the most successful dinners of' the kind ever given at the school by the girls. The boys did themselves justice, and a neat little sum Was made. All the girls have enjoyed the work this year and will reorganize before the end of this term so that they may begin their work earlier next year.

M a rk Hill Bertha Maller, Gabrielle's cousin, and sweetheart of Dr. Blatt, ......, Ina Abney The field of action is in a university town at the home of Dr. Rudolph Bingen. The time, present. The story deals with a domestic quarrel between Dr. Bingen and his wife Gabrielle, because of jealousy on the part of the little wife towards her cousin Bertha. Dr. Bingen, who was formerly in love with Bertha, often neglects his wife for his studies. Realizing this neglect, he sews a little red button on his coat to remind him of his wife. However, as the button originally belonged to Bertha, Gabrielle thinks her husband still loves her cousin. Dr. Bingen often inquires of his wife concerning her cousin, as Dr. Blatt, who is his close friend, is engaged to Bertha. Her cousin comes to visit Gabrielle, and inquiring about Dr. Bingen, causes fresh complications. The poor little wife is almost distracted but she finally learns the truth and all live happily ever after. Ten Little Seniors.

Much fun was had in the kitchen over the pop-corn and candy pans. About twenty-five mem- bers of the class were present. On the return home, the wagon broke down, about two miles from Noblesville and the students either caught a ride or hiked the remaining distance home. Sophomore Party V The members of the Sophomore class enjoyed their first party of the season at the country home of Elvin Burger. The jolly crowd, chaperoned by Mr. Brickley and Mr. Boruff, was conveyed by means of hay wagons. Behind the house was a large hill and in the forest beneath were two brightly burning fires. The place was lighted by lanterns hanging on the tree limbs. After playing many interesting games all enjoyed a wiener roast and marsh-mallow toast. Freshman Party Friday evening, October 12, the Freshmen of N. H. S. met at the home of Esther Heinzmann on Conner Street and from there rode in machines and hay-wagons to the home of Marjorie Ackles, about two miles west of Noblesville. About ninety members were present.

Miss Lutz, Mr. Boruff and Mr. Brickley chaperoned. Junior Party The Junior Class began early in the school year with a party at the home of Byron Boone. Mr. Brickley was chaperon of the evening and proved quite efficient.

A good supply of marsh-mallows sandwiches and pickles completed the evening. And on leaving, all voted the Boone's loyal entertainers. Farewell Party The occasion for a second Junior party was a farewell party for Byron Boone which was given at the home of Esther Hiatt and chaperoned by Mr. Boruff and Mr. Jessup.

Page Sixty Two 1 91 7 The Annual 1 91 7 Speech by a Member of '16 Class Thursday morning, February 1, 1917, the students and faculty were pleased to greet Malcolm Cottingham, a graduate from the '15 class. Mr. Cottingham has been traveling with Chautauqua companies lately and has seen much of the United States, a true realization of his ambition when a youth. He gave many incidents of his travels and told in a pleasing and in- teresting manner some of the conditions in the .South today. But he still holds Indiana as the Garden Spot of the World . He showed us the great need of patriotism, co-operation and enthusiasm in our school. Mr. Cottingham made a lasting impression and all hope he will come again. Senior Stunts. At the home of Albert Hull on Friday after Christmas, the Seniors had a social gathering The entertainment took the form of a stunt party and several shows, that were extemporan- eous, were greatly enjoyed. They spent part of the evening singing school songs and dancing. Quite an elegant lunch was served. Guests of the evening were Miss Dorothy Haines of Indianapolis, Miss Ruth Holmes and Miss Lucille Williamson of Lapel, Miss Marie Little from DePauw and Harry Rhoades and Bert Moore of Indianapolis. For Parents. Several Get Together Parties have been held in the High School building by Mr. Payne for the parents this year. The first one was for the purpose of getting acquainted with situa- tions exsisting in the High School. After a fine program the question of a gymnasium Was discussed and indictments from the different classes were read. A number of men spoke very favorably of the project. Light refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was spent socially. Since this meeting proved to be such a success, several other meetings of both parents and students have been held. A I Hindu Lecture. The students had the pleasure of hearing N. K. DhalWani,a Hindu from India, give an in- formal lecture on his people, in comparison and contrast with manners and customs of the Ameri- can people. He has been in this country ive years and is a graduate of Cberlin College. He was trying to make money enough to return to his native country. He told of the difference in the family life of the two countries. He explained their manner of dress, their class distinc- tions and their strange beliefs. There are two hundred and fifty diierent languages spoken in that country and he pleased us by speaking four of them. He showed the Hindu style of eating and sang several songs of their music. The Social conditions of this foreign land were also touched upon. The hour was indeed one of profit and pleasure. - Little Girl's Party. Just before Christmas the Everybody's Lonesome Club had a little girl party at the high school blilding. There were about a hundred girls present. Many clever costumes were worn and appropriate games for little children were played. Stick candy and popcorn were served.I Page Sixty Three 1 91 7 The Annual 1 91 7 Backward Party. The Everbody's Lonesome Club had a backward party in the high school building for the new members of the Freshmen class at the beginning of the new term. Every girl was dressed backwards. During the evening there was a circus, With Mary Wild as ringleader. Miss Wild called on different ones in the audience to represent something pertaining to the circus. A jolly good time was had and afterwards the girls were taken to the sewing room where lunch was served. Senior Class Play. The Senior Class presented The Colonel's Maid , a comedy at the opera house,'Friday, April 20. A well filled house witnessed this production and a neat sum was cleared,which will be used for the Annual Music for the evening was furnished by the High School Orchestra under the supervision of Miss Florence Miesse. The numbers were greatly appreciated. The first scene opens in the kitchen of Colonel Rudd. The second act is a living room of Colonel Rudd's and the third and last scene is the same. The story is quite complicated and filled with good, strong action. Colonel Rudd and Colonel Byrd, two old, hot-headed gentlemen are old time enemies, the result of a love affair some twenty years previous. Colonel Rudd's son is in love with Majorie Byrd, Daughter of Colonel Bryd. The object of the play is to get the consent of both of the fathers to their mar- riage. Marjorie comes to the home of Colonel Rudd as the maid at her sweetheart's suggestion while her father is away, thinking Colonel Rudd will be so pleased with her that they may reveal her identity and gain his consent. But Colonel Byrd returns unexpectedly and finding his daughter gone, succeeds in tracing her to Colonel Rudd's home. There, he accuses Colonel Rudd of kidnapping his daughter. Wrongs are righted between the old enemies and Marjorie becomes the bride-elect of Robert Rudd. Many other comical things occur through the love affair of Ned Graydon and Julia Carroll, very good friends of the other lovers. Ching-oh-ling is the real comedienne. He is the Rudd's cook who assumes quite an amount of authority and familiarity about the bachelor establshment. Ching is one scream throughout the play.

Special, but brief exercises were held in the Assembly room in honor of the occasion. Several members of the various classes made short talks. The High School teachers offered congratu- lations. Lawrence Cloe favored the school with the address he delivered when he won the contest. He was escorted to the rostrum by two of his fellow students. After the exercies, the entire school marched to the public square and gave their yells, They next visited the Grammar School and then paraded down to the home of our orator and thence returned to the high school building.

The team was accompanied to Westfield by Mr. Boruff, Mr. Jessup and Mr. Brickley. West- field won first place gaining 42 points, Carmel ,second with 32 points, Noblesville, third with 24 points. Our defeat was due largely to the lack of entries in a few events. Noblesville won three firsts, two seconds and three thirds. Harry Hull won first in the high jump, Wilbur Flanders, in the 440 yard dash, Malcolm Gearheart, in the pole vault. Carl Wild won second in the pole vault and third in the broad jump. Charles Roberts won third in the low hurdles Flanders won second in the 880 yard run and third in the 220 yard dash. Gymnasium Movement A great movement was started among the students cooperative with the faculty and citizens of Noblesville and township for the building of a modern gymnsaium in Noblesville. This project is assured to us by Mr. Salmon Levinson. The building will be named Minnie Newman Levinson Memorial Gymnasium . The tentative plans are for a large swimming pool about 12 by 53, lockers for both boys and girls and shower baths. Above the gymnas- ium floor will be about 40 by 65 with banks of seats on each side with a seating capacity of 400. There will also be dressing rooms for both boys and girls on this floor. The money is to be obtained in different ways. There has been 55154 in the bank on interest for nine years, placed there by A. J. Burton. Mr. Levinson will anounce his gift on the night of the commencement. The School Board has already purchased a S2000 lot located east of the High School building. This movement was instigated because of the too narrow social life and scope of activities in the school. Merely the assurance of a gymnasium put new life and spirit in every phase of school activities, a fact which proves how essential a gymnasium is to every school. The boys and girls will ever remember the interest Mr. Payne has taken in them, in voicing their complaints and advancing every factor of the undertaking. They are also very thankful to the School Board for responding so readily and with such interest. Mr. Payne, Mr. Levinson and the School Board indeed form a Triple Alliance which can solve both physical and mental problems for the school children of Noblesville, problems which will affect the future of both the city and county and how much further, we know not. Page Seventy One 1 91 7 The Annual 1 91 7 ' CHARLES ROBERTS Permy . Roberts has a good start in the hurdles and has one more year in school to develop. Although, as yet, he has not made very many points, he has the best of chances next year. ' HARRY HULL Peaml,t . Hull is Noblesville's star high jumper. He has taken first in every meet in which he has ever taken part and is on his Way to set a state record this year. Hull also played a fine game at center on the basket-ball team and is a star long dis- tance goal shooter. RANDOLPH RANDALL Dolph . - - l Randolph is N. H. S's. best dash man this l year. He stars in the 100 yard dash and the 220 yard dash. Doplh made agood basket-ball guard but ashe was a substitute, did not get to show his ability very much. He was very quick and certainly made use of his time. CARL JERRELL Punk . Jerrell is Noblesville's only man to put the shot. This is his first year on our team and altho he has not done Wonders yet, We are looking forward to his next three years with us. Punk has played very good basket-ball this year. He is a sure goal shooter and will develop into a very fast man in time. Page Seventy Two ' L 1 91 7 The Annual 1 91 7 S MALCOLM GEARHEART runs the hurdles. His lfM'aZc7! Gearheart is Noblesville's best pole vaulter. He also high jumps and past record is good and he will un- doubtedly be a star man for Noblesville in the future. ' FOY RAYLE i'RayZe' '. EDWARD STEVENSON Kinlc . Stevenson came out for the shot put this year. Kink played as guard on the N. H. S. basket-ball team. He was a little slow this year but has two more years in which to better himself. WILBUR FLANDERS Web , Flanders stars in the 440 dash and the half mile. We are very sorry to 'say that this is his last year in N. H. S. We all know that he is one of our best and most dependable men. Rayle runs the mile this year and it is hoped that he will develop into a very strong man next year. If it takes only perseverance, he surely will make his mark. Page Seventy Three 1917 The Annual 1 91 7 ' ' HARRY STERN Stern , Stern is NoblesVille's best miler and it is thought that he Will Win in this, next year. He is also one of N. H. S's. half mile stars. CLIFFORD HARGER Clif , Harger ran the high and low hurdles this year. Considering that this is his first year, he did exceptionally Well. CLARENCE CAYLOR Ben . . Caylor played on the basket-ball team. He is a very fast man and is sure to ,hold his opponent. He is a Senior and has done good Work on the team. ALBERT HULL Hullie. Hullie made a good forward on the basket-ball team this year. He might be considered about the best man on the team and has scored l several points for us. Page Seventy Four 1917 The Annual 1917 CARL WILD Dutch . Wild came out this year for the first time and Won some points for N.H. S. in the pole vault, high jump and broad jump. He hasf another year in which to honor N. H. S. and himself, a thing which he is sure to do. Dutch played as forward on the basket ball team. He is strong on shooting goals, since he is so very quick and active. NEIL SPERRY Sperry . A Sperry's ability lies in the dashes and although he has not Won many honors, practice makes perfect . Therefore We are expecting Wonderful things from him next year. ROGER CARLIN Babe . Carlin is the dark horse of the track team this year. He surprised N . H. S. by developing into a good 440 yard man and also a pole vaulter. He has another year to Win points for N . H. S. A Editor's NoteiThe pictures for Neil Sperry, Roger Carlin, and Carl Wild failed to arrive in time to be made for the Annual.

We hope always, to be as loyal and true to our Old Gold and Black as all the preceding classes have been. At each commencement season, the meeting of the Alumni Association has proved a parti- cularly pleasing feature, at which time a banquet is prepared for the graduating class by the members of the Alumni. Toasts are given by the different members, the new members are welcomed into the Association, and a business meeting is held for the purpose of electing new oflicers. By this means and through the Association, we are always intimately connected with the Alumni, who are ever our loyal helpers and are ever ready to encourage us in our many pursuits.

WE take pleasure in announcing to the Alumni that old N. H. S. is entering upon a new era of its existence. We are glad to have been here to help and contribute our small mite to the cause. If we could but look at the brilliant pictures of the future in a magic crystal globe and see the future scenes of our ever increasing, ever progressing school, our dearest dreams would be visualized in glowing colors. The petty exams sprung upon us so often in our brief abode here, will all be forgotten among the other trivial and unimportant details as every alumni has long ago done and we will remember only the glory of beinga care-free student, our lessons comprising the only shadow upon our rosy horizon, May we ever remember the noble inspiration and enthusiasm instilled in our spirits by the encouraging and loyal speech of Malcolm Cottingham, the famous young alumni orator.

You will please bring your note-books to my desk and leave them there, lest they get in your way and interfere with your writing.

ADVICE My Dear Student: Read below what one of the nations great men said in the way of advice to you. y There are many attorneys, but few lawyers, many doctors, but few physicians, many peda- gogues, but few teachers, many storekeepers, but few merchants. Our country has reached the stage where it will pay any price for excel- lence. It is able and willing to do it. There are more ten-thousand-dollar jobs than there are ten-thousand-dollar men to take them. Of course there are men who would 'gladly take them, but the menwith the capacity are few. First secure excellence, then set your price, the world will pay it. ' Q -Leslie M Shaw. NOBLESVILLE MILLING COMPANY lNOBLESVILLE, INDIANA, U. s.

We can give you quality and service on your com- mencement invitations, fraternity stationery, visiting cards and any other work of this char- acter. Samples with prices on request. Sf! The Success of The Annual Is in no small measure due to the Quality of Stafford Engravings and the character of Stafford Co-operation In making this statement, we have no desire to take any credit from the editorial staff-in fact We feel that it is all the more to their credit that they realize the superior quality of Stafford engravings and that they thoroughly appreciated the value of Stafford cooperation. Years of specialization have made the Stafford organiza- tion unusually expert in engraving and designing for college and school publications. The most modern shop equipment gives us' every facility for prompt production of quality etch- ings, halftones and color plates. - Stafford halftones are made by the famous Levy acid-blast process, which gives a cleaner, deeper and sharper etch than the tub method generally used. Printers like Stafford plates because it makes it easier for them to give you a first-class job. The Stafford hand-book, Engraving for College and School Publications, containing 164 pages and over 300 illustrations, gives valuable suggestions for planning your publication, preparing copy and ordering engravings. It pre- vents costly mistakes and assures you of highest quality en- gravings at lowest cost. We do not sell this book-we merely lend it with out charge to the staff of each publication for which we make the engrav- lngs. In addition to the general assistance of this hand-book, we give you also our direct and individual co-operation. Stafford engravings and Stafford operations will help to assure the success of any college or school publication Stafford Engraving Company Artists, Designers, Engravers Century Building, Indianapolis Indiana Page One Hundred Eight 1917 The Annual 1917 Save Money Through our Mail Order De- partment on Farm and House- hold supplies.
