ANDREWS W. A. HATFIELD MISS GLADYS President. Secretary Treasurer MCDOWELL Clerk When We think of the Board of Education, We think of that small group of men who come to our superintendents office many Monday nights during the year to Work, sometimes far into the night, to help make Peru High School the best kind of school for training the future citizens of our city and our land. By the many things they have done for us, We have evidence that they have our interest and our advancement at heart. Although they are very busy people and are not often seen in our corridors during school hours, in the few times they have been with us, they have Won the friendship of our entire student body. A s Page Sixteen gl? Our Principal 91? Mr. J. P. Crodian, principal of Peru High School, is the man who is always busy with the aiairs of P. H. S. Not satisfied with only fair results, he is always striving for the best. During the time that he has served in the capacity of principal, Mr. Crodian has coped with many difficult problems, but With them all he has dealt justly and efficiently. Mr. Crodian came to Peru from Bainbridge High School in 1925. He served for eight years as a teacher before he became princi- pal. He has won the respect and admiration of both the faculty and student body and has demonstrated his ability as a leader in num- erous ways. FZ' fi? 6' :gil Y X ZZ?

Senior Class History Four short years ago a gay and happy group of freshies entered P. H. S. determined to conquer and fight the battles of a high school career which lay before them. Perhaps We were quite flustrated, but time and the process of assimulation have borne us on to be calm, dignified seniors. Not only has it been the lot of the class to have produced outstanding athletes and students of high scholarship, but our class has established precedents, such as the junior play and the hand book. In taking a little backward glimpse, We remember those who started the race with us, but have not had the privilege of finishing. Each year death has claimed its portion. We now look forward with high ambitions into the future. It is not our aim to stop here but to go on. We owe much to our loving parents and the kind, sympathetic faculty for the help and inspiration which they have given us. EDWARD SAUSAMAN '29. Page Twenty-four L I ANDREWS, FRANCIS P.

S. a large group of boys and girls having for their motto, Loyalty brings victory. This group of students had many youthful aspirations. During the Freshman and Sophomores years many of these aspirations were fulfilled and during this, our Junior year, many more Will be realized. In the fullillment of these aspirations the members of the class of '30 have entered into all branches of school activities, namely: clubs, athletics, student and secondary councils, and our members are also represented on the Peruvian and Narcissus staffs. Within our ranks are found students of rare ability including artists, Writers, orators, and dramatists. The class also ranks very high in scholarship, having several students who are members of the Honor Society and students Whose names appear on the honor roll regularly. During our senior year with the co-operation of students and teachers We are expecting to see all of our ambitions realized. - I , I -E E , , HELEN RIDGWAY '30, f Page Thirty-eight ,V -.TTER a X .

S. just as many other green freshies have done. The Freshman Class has always been one of quantity, but we have become sophomores, we have made ours one of quality as well. Many sophomore names appear regularly on the Honor Roll, and we also have representatives in every branch of school life. With two more years in Peru High School, we aim to excel all previous records and also live up to our motto, Loyalty brings reward.

Every year the number of students in the music department increases. This year the Girls' Glee Club is larger than it has ever been before. Under the able leadership of Alvin Ahrens the club has had a very successful year. They have assisted in auditorium programs, have taken part in Parent- Teachers' programs, and have given special programs for the various churches in the city. The club also took part in the comic opera. Page Fifty-four BOYS' GLEE CLUB - l Back Row: Baber, Herd, Kantzer, Miller, Duff, Friend, Martin, Ross, Burkhart, Conrad.

Quick to overcome a serious handicap, the lack of old members, both glee clubs have advanced a great deal under the supervision of Mr. Ahrens. The clubs have made their appearance in auditorium, Where they were given a hearty Welcome by the student body. The yearly presentation of the clubs was this year in the form of a comic opera, The Pirates of Penzance. This opera was the most difficult task ever undertaken by the Peru High School glee clubs and they gave a very creditable showing. Hn the annual Rodeo several acts composed of glee club members Were given. After such a successful year a very optimistic outlook points toward next year's organization. Page Fifty-flve 5 ..

The orchestra has given many fine programs this year and should be commended on its good Work. It has given a number of programs in the auditorium and it also played an important part in the comic opera. The graduating seniors who are members of the orchestra are Law- rence Hardy and James Barger. Page Fifty-six BAND MR.

A substantial increase in membership aided materially towards its success. The parade band consisted of about forty pieces, and from this number was obtained the concert band of about twenty-five pieces. During the basketball season and for informal occasions, a band of thirty pieces Was used. The band has done some excellent playing this year and deserves a great deal of credit. The Peru High School band expects to enter the state contest in May. Graduating members are James Barger, Joseph Prior, Keith Jones, and George Challis.

Page Fifty- eight THE JUNIOR PLAY , The Arrival of Kitty The second annual Junior play was presented by the class of '30, N ov- ember 9, 1928. The play entitled The Arrival of Kitty, proved to be a success iinan- cially, as Well as from the standpoint of production. It was selected by the class sponsors and directed by Miss Galbreath, the public speaking instruc- tor. The purpose of the play was to help defray the expenses of the Junior- Senior banquet. The cast was well chosen and each part was played very Well. The leading roles were played by Catherine Bryan and Richard Chichester.

S. by winning contests in some department of the high school. For several years the Peru Ministerial Association has offered awards to the students with the highest grades on the state Bible examination. Last semester Kathleen Leahy and Georgia Dice tied for first place, each receiving a prize, while Robert Garritson received the award for second place. The examination covered the iirst part of the Old Testament. In the State Commercial Contest at Muncie the Peru shorthand team won the shorthand cup for the first time in the history of ,P. H. S. This cup must be won by the same school for three consecutive years before it becomes their permanent property. The members of the team and their grades are Thais Hebbe, 10070, Leota Kannada, 99.83723 and Pauline Austin, 99.6.76 In the District Latin Contest which was held at Wabash March 23rd, Rose Ellen Simons took third place in the 1A division. In the autumn of 1928 there was a county poster contest held. Any student in the county was eligible to enter. Two students of P. H. S. placed in this contest. Nellie Mowbray was awarded first prize with Rex Martin receiving second prize. There is a National Constitutional Oratorical Cogntest being held in the United States. Frances Samons, a senior in P.

Front Row: Byron, Sausaman, Cleland. Owing to the failure of the Northern Indiana Debating League to notify the Peru teams of the rules of the league and to give proper notice as to the time and place of the debates, the Peru teams got a late start in this activity. In spite of these handicaps, the afirmative team was victorious over Warren High School's negative team on the question: Resolved that the United States Adopt a Hands-off Policy in Nicaragua. Page Sixty-s 5 i NEGATIVE DEBATE TEAM Back Row: Raymer, Samons Front Row: Thompson, Galbreath, Challis The team debated on the hands-off policy in N icaragua. Their first contest was at Andrews, Indiana, Where they met defeat by a small margin. , The next debate was With Chester Center at Peru, where the local team again lost by a small score. Although debating has yet to reach its peak in the activities of the school, each year more students take up the Work. Debating in Peru High School was sponsored by Miss Galbreath, Mr. Dawald, and Mr. Jenkins. Page Sixty-seven 4 .fi 1 +2 ,,-ff?

President-DONALD PATTON Vice-President-DONALD MOHR Secretary-RUTH LEAVELL Treasurer-LAURA DITZLER Sergeant-at-Arms-ARTHUR GOTHARD The Student Council is an organization composed of the class presi- dents and of members selected by the students. The purpose of this club is to create good will, promote good citizenship, and to do all in its power to make Peru High School a better and finer school. Some of the achievements of the council of '28 and '29 are the found- ing of the scholarship cup and the handbook. The scholarship cup is awarded each six weeks to the room having the highest scholastic standing. Probably the greatest undertaking is the editing of the handbook, which is a new feature in our school but has proved to be a success in other schools. Much credit for the success of this year's student government is due to Miss Reed, who sponsors the group. Page Sixty-eight BOOSTER CLUB Back Row: Mohr, Gothard, Chandler, D. Weger, Jones.

Having as their purpose the boosting of school activities, they sell tickets for the rodeo, operetta, plays, football and basketball games, tour- naments, track meets, and concerts. Without the Willing support that the members of the Booster Club have given to every activity, it is certain the ticket sale campaigns would not have been so successful. The sponsors of this club are Miss Troutman, Miss Vyverberg, and Mr. Powell.

A. and was organized in the fall of 1928. The purpose of the club is to extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The club is under the supervision of Mr. Bossard, Mr. Crodian, Mr. Ahrens, and Mr. Mitchener, and in the last year each has done his part in making the Hi-Y one of the outstanding clubs in P. H. S. Meetings are held every Wednesday evening, every other week being supper night. Bean suppers are enjoyed by the members of the club, after which comes a Bible lesson by Dr. Van Osdol. The club enjoys many social functions such as banquets, theatre par- ties, and picnics. This year the fellows entertained their fathers at a regu- lar bean supper. And last of all the social functions of the year came the Mother-Son banquet, at which time each member brought his mother and introduced her to the club. At this banquet the officers for the coming year were installed. It is indeed an honor to make the club, and every fellow in P. H. S. looks forward to the time when he, too, can become a member.

This organization works in connection with the state 4-H Club, and the state organization is a part of the national club. The purpose of the club is to stimulate, within the girls, a love for an ideal home, and to teach them the necessities that help bring this about. The regular meetings include parties, banquets, and outings at the lake. l The 4-H emblem representing the head, hand, heart, and health, sig- nifies the lines of effort for better industrial, social, and recreational op- portunities, Which occur in every day life.

Playlets, slides, debates, and reports by members of the club have been the main features of the year's program. Peru had several representatives in the District Latin Contest, one of Which, Rose Ellen Simons, took third place. The officers and sponsors, Miss Hornish and Mr. Jenkins, should be commended for their Work in the year 1928-1929. , , 1, .. M fav ,f wg ,.,, A - 1 ,.

Front Row: Cunningham, Olinger, Martin, Gothard, Burkhart, Newhouse, LeVaugh, Trapp. The 1928 football season was the most successful season in recent years for the Tigers. Peru's record of four games won and four lost was a great improvement over the result of the '27 schedule. The Tigers had a real lighting spirit coupled with the scoring punch that made every op- ponent fear them. There will be seven letter men graduate in June and eight letter men will be back for the team next year. Four monogram winners will also add to the group of experienced men for next season. With this group of men back for next year's team to be built around, the outlook for the '29 season is exceedingly cheerful. One of the best reasons for the Tigers' success on the gridiron was the tutelage of Coach Powell, who learned his football at Hanover College. This is only Coach Pow- ell's second year in Peru and although he and his team suffered an unsuccessful season last year he built it up so it showed a remarkable improvement this season. With Coach Pow- ell guiding the team, the 1929 season should prove to be one of th most successful in Peru's history. p COACH POWELL Page Eighty-two l l FOOTBALL I Front Row: Morrison, Gothard, Wittchow, Allen, Burkhart, LeVaugh, Trapp. Back Row: Martin, Weger, Patton, McCarty. 'The seven graduating men receiving sweaters as their reward for their services on the team are: Capt. Bessignano, Conrad, Morrison, Patton Martin, LeVaugh, and Holcom. The letter men coming back for next season are: Weger, McCarty Gretzinger, Baber, Wittchow, Burkhart, Gothard, and Simpkins. The monogram winners are: Trapp, Allen, Olinger and Higginbotham Coach Powell was ably assisted in his coaching of the football team by Mr. Justice, a teacher in Junior High. Mr. Justice played on the Franklin team for two years, one year when Franklin won the state championship. Mr. Justice coached the backfield, and his interest in the team accounted much for the season's success. Page Eighty-three '55 l ,, Jsfiliwif Q 'iilc' Mr. Harry Justice i . Q Q k CARSON CONRAD Casey was a remarkable triple threat halfback. He could kick, pass, and carry the ball with the best of players. He won two letters and a monogram playing on the team. Casey received honorable mention this year on the all-state team. REX MARTIN Rex was P. H. S.'s hard-hitting, bone- crushing fullback. If the line ever failed to open a hole for him, he made one for himself. Martin won three stripes for his sweater and graduates this year. HERMAN WITTCHOW Dutch was rather new at the game at first, but his interest in the game and his readiness to learn soon displayed him as a 3 player worthy to be on the team. Dutch 3 is just a sophomore, and Coach Powell is ' expecting much from him in the next two Q years. f RUSSEL LEVAUGH 5 The biggest man in the line was Le- I Vaugh. He played tackle, and when he crashed into any opposing men they knew that something had hit them. Rusty 1 graduates this year, and he will leave a big hole in the line to be filled. EUGENE MCCARTY l it Gene was a small but fast-stepping 2 halfback who made the squad in his irst p year in P. H. S. He came from Bedford, . Ohio, last year and proved to be a big help to the team. He will be eligible to play - again next year. Page Eighty-four . lv 2 at ti-Sf A 'A W -1 mg.-f1r..ug f ff. xg' ' XM ARTHUR GOTHARD One of the most consistent men to get through the enemies' line and to nail the runner in his tracks was Gothard. Art put much enthusiasm and spirit in the team as well as giving all he could to win. He will be one of the mainstays next year. HARLAN BURK HART Harlan was usually on the receiving end of the passes. He had remarkable abil- ity to get down the field after a pass and then snag it. He will be with the squad for another year. DONALD PATTON Don was the crafty field general for the team and when the oppOnent's line was impregnable he Often scored points by his uncanny passes. Donn will be lost by graduation. ALFRED NEVVHOUSE Coach Powell was expecting much from Red when fate took a hand and put him out of the season in the first game with a broken collar bone. Red Wants to try it again next year, and he will add much to the team. ROBERT MORRISON Bob played end and in the backfield and proved to be a very valuable asset. Although he played only one year on the Eeam his loss by graduation will be keenly e . Page Eighty-five f L f f 4' 57 . :Fri 'Qu fg .. i ' 5 ,,,,. l r .

He started in as a tackle and was ssifted to the backfield, and in his last year played end. He did most of the punting and drop-kicking. Dom received honorable mention on the all-state high school team. CLARENCE HOLCOM Holcy played end last year and cen- ter this year. Although small for the po- sition, he made up for it in his fight and inspiration to the team. He will be lost by graduation. RALPH WEGER The team needed a fast backfield man, and the flash from Robinson, Illinois, was all that anyone would ask for. Lefty's fieetness and shiftiness Won himself honor- able mention on the all-state team. P. H. S. is lucky to have him back next year. JOHN GRETZINGER Johnny was another hard fighting guard who put all he had in the game to overcome his size. Johnny used his speed to upset his heavier opponents so the ball carrier could come romping through the hole he made. WILLIAM BABER Baber, though only a sophomore and small, Won himself a guard position on the team by his aggressiveness. This was his first year on the squad and as he has two more, he should accomplish much gridiron fame. Page Eighty-six TRACK 1928 TOY J ONES Toy brought his speed from the basket- ball floor to the track. He was almost al- ways to be found among the winners in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and ran last on the half mile relay team. JAMES HIGGINBOTHAM Jimmy is an all-around track man. He has Won much fame throughout the state as 9, high jumper with real ability. Besides high jumping, Jim runs third place on the half-mile relay team, broadjumps, and hurdles. DONALD BAKER Don combines his height with the spring in his legs to get himself over the crossbar in the high jump. Don won points in practically every meet and was a big asset to the track team. MAURICE LINKENHELT Link ran the 100 and 220 yard dashes and was a hard man to beat. He was also the starting man on Peru's half mile relay team that Won the right to go to the state meet. MORRIS CROSSLAND N o one on the team tried harder than Crossland. He furnished all of his oppon- ents with plenty of competition in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and took the baton from Linkenhelt in the half mile relay. Page Eighty-seven 1- .1 TRACK 1928 The 1928 track season was successful for Peru. Track is being built up on a more substantial basis, and many athletes took part in the various events. The team was coached by Mr. Powell and during the season turned in many noteworthy performances. The track season opened on the home field when the Tigers defeated Huntington by the overwhelming score of 91-8. The next meet was another Win for the Tiger track team when they won over Rochester by the score of 53 M3-4515. In a closely contested triangular meet staged at Peru, the Tigers emerged victorious over Marion and Wabash. The scores were: Peru, 40V3g Marion, 37V2g and Wabash, 21. Peru competed against an array of stars representing many schools in the Kokomo relays and were able to win four points. Kokomo finished first. The Tigers triumphed over all the other teams in the Sectional meet which was held at Peru. Five men won either first or second places in their events to enable them to compete in the State Finals. P The members of the team who competed in the state track meet are: Higginbotham, G. Sharp, Baker, Crossland, and Jones. The men who won letters are: Captain Sharp, Brauneller, Schmidt, Schoolman, Huff, Waite, Jenkins, Bishop, Linkenhelt, Jones, Crossland, Higginbotham, Baker, Brown, and Newhouse. The cheering of the students of P. H. S. counted much for their teams' success in athletics. The yell lead- er was Duey Cypherd, and much credit should'go to him for the splendid cheering and loyalty be- stowed upon all the athletic teams the past year. l DUEY CYPHERD, Yell Leader 3 i 5,5 Page Eighty-eight vis ' 'fa ,, , , A ' if '1 R Graf -W--M Imdmmr Sports BASKETBALL The one to whom the credit for Peru's suc- cessful basketball season should go is Coach Moore. Through his untiring efforts he in- stilled into the hearts of the boys a true sportsmanship spirit with the will to win. Under his skillful guidance the Tigers learn- ed to play their superior basketball. Coach Moore is expected to turn out another cham- pionship team next year.

The team went through the regular schedule winning twelve games and losing but six. The Tigers started slowly reaching top form around tournament time. Peru easily triumphed over all their opponents in the Sectional tourney and won the first game of the Regional from Delphi, the only team in the state to go through their regular schedule undefeated. The Tigers played Logansport in the finals and again met their Waterloo. The Tigers were leading near the end of the game, but the strain of their afternoon fray told on them, and Logan overcame their lead to win the right to go to the state. The players receiving letter sweaters who graduate are: Captain J en- kins, Holdren, and Rees. The players who received letters and will be back next year are: Jones, Newhouse, Brown, Weger, Baker, Gothard, Smith, and Burkhart. COACH MOORE VARSITY A TEAM Back.

Middle Row: Spencer, Schmidt, Simpkins, Schaefer. Front Row: Vvittchow, Mitchener, Kling, Dice. The B and C basketball teams were established to enable more players to get experi- ence and coaching before they participated on the varsity team. The B squad was coached by Mr. Black and consisted of underclassmen, mainly juniors. The team played through the schedule and broke even in the Won and lost column, winning flve games and losing the same number. In an invitational B team tournament in which eight teams competed, Peru's B team fought its Way to the Hnals where they Were defeated by Kokomo. The B team also played in the County tournament and was defeated in the semi-finals by Amboy. The County tourna- ment was Won by Bunker Hill. The C squad was coached by Chet Brauneller, last year's varsity captain, who has had four years of varsity experience under Coach Moore. The C team had the enviable record of nine games won and three lost. The squad consisted of freshmen and sophomores. U The BQ team receiving the two point monograms are: Dice, Schmidt, Cole, Mitchener, Wittchow, Slmpkins, Schaefer, Spencer, and Kling.

C TEAM Back Row: Holland, Phillips, Moore, Carroll. Middle Row: Britton, Hobbs, Coach Brauneller, Crider. Front Row: Cunningham, Baber, Eisaman, Lynch. Page Ninety-one GLENN JENKINS Casey was a product of Clay Town- ship before he came to P. H. S. and has accomplished wonders on the hardwood since his arrival. His ability to hit under- the-basket shots was uncanny, and he will be missed much next year. ALFRED NEWHOUSE In every game Red is a marked man by his opponents, but his superior play al- ways nets him points. He is a whiz in defense and can cover all the Hoor. He is a veteran of three years' experience and will be back again next year. TOY JONES Toy's speed and accurate shooting strike terror in the hearts of all the teams that P. H. S. plays. He has Won himself an enviable reputation throughout the state and will be back on the squad next year to add to his laurels. EMRO BROWN When a player was needed to fill Burk- hart's shoes when he got sick, Coach Moore looked over his reserves and found a prom- ising lad in Brown. In a few games Brown was playing regular back guard and doing a good job of it. He will have two more years to play on the team. FREDERICK REES Fred played forward and, though handicapped by his diminutive stature, play- ed a steady game. He played on the second squad one year and the varsity, two. He graduates this year. Page Ninety-two 'RALPH WEGER Lefty was a fast-stepping forward whose speed made him a hard man to watch, and he stuck to his opponent like glue. Lefty should go good next year. EDWARD HOLDREN Ed played on the team only in his last year but with his dead eye he seldom failed to register two points when he shot. He soon overcame his inexperience and proved to be an important cog in Coach Moore's well-oiled machine. ARTHUR GOTHARD Art used his football experience on the hardwood, and when anybody took the ball away from him something was wrong. Art should look good on Coach Moore's squad next year. DONALD BAKER Don played a good steady game and was a good passer. The way Don went up in the air after the ball on the tipoff made it look as if he had springs in his feet. He will be eligible to play again next year. ALVA SMITH Freckles was inexperienced when he started in but improved as fast as he learn- ed the game. Smithy was exceptionally good on his follow-in shots where he used his size to an advantage. Page Ninety-three COLOR TEAM BASKETBALL , T Back Row: Heminger, Challis, Briner, Erb, McDaniels, Raymer. Middle Row: Eberle, Wynn, LeVaugh, Callahan, Martin, Bruce. Front Row: Smith, Middlekauff, Stewart, S. Crossland, Tillett, Holland. Basketball reigned supreme in Peru High School when 120 candidates responded at the first night of practice. Some of these had to be cut, and in order that the boys Who Were dismissed from the squads would not join independent teams and make themselves ineligible for high school basket- ball competition during the year, Coach Moore founded a color league. The color league was composed of eight teams, each with a different color for its name. These teams were under the surveillance of Coach Powell. Two rounds were played by the teams and the Blues Were successful in Winning both. The winning team Was composed of Roser, captain, Con- rad, Mowbray, Lipsett, McCarthy, Dancey, Wickerham, and Holland. Back Row: Juday, Amos, Mohr, Groeschel, Hemrick, Baker, Hilgeman, Rodgers. Middle Row: Morgan, Durkes, Pearson, Oates, Sargent, Mills. Front Row: Allman, Huber, Youngblood, Muston. Page Ninety-four GIRLS' BASKETBALL Back Row: Nelp, Melson, Gothard, Beecher, Worden. Front Row: Ditzler, McGuire, Antrim, Ogden, Long. ' The Tigerettes were fairly successful this year in Winning seven out of the eleven games played. The games scheduled were with some of the best teams in the state. The strong Noblesville team, state basketball champion in 1928, Was de- feated, While the team lost to Wabash, this year's champs , and to Argos, runners-up for the 1929 title. The teams defeated were Mexico, Alumni, Swayzee, Noblesville ftwicej, Auburn, and Warsaw. The Tigerettes suf- fered defeat at the hands of Argos, Auburn, and Wabash Ctwicej. The only game lost on the home floor Was to the Wabash SnoWballs . Probably the most exciting game of the season was the tilt between the Tigerettes and the Auburn girls on the home floor. The Peru girls overcame a ten point lead in the last quarter and Won by the score of 26-23. Much of the credit for the team's success was due to Dorothy Troutman. During her four years here as coach of girls' basket ball, she has never failed to put out a Winning teams, one which plays a clean, fast game. COACH TROUTMAN Page Ninety-five GRACE BEECHER Grace, this year's captain, led her team through a successful season. Grace worried the guards of many of the best teams in the state and her accurate shooting assured many victories. This season ends her third year of varsity basketball and her position will be a hard one to fill. CAROLYN WORDEN Star guard and a regular for three years on the team, Cary was always ready to cut in on dribbles. She played a fine defensive game and was a formidable op- ponent to visiting teams. This was her last year on the team. LAURA DITZLER Laura can play both guard and center position and was therefore a valuable mem- ber of the team. She puts her whole self into her playing. The Tigerettes will be sorry to see Laura leave this year. BETTY OGDEN Betty was the star forward of the team this year. Her accurate passing and under- the-basket shots made her a real asset to the team. She has another year to play for P. H. S., and it is hoped that she will make an even better record next season. J ENNIE LoU GOTHARD Jennie, our jumping center, was a con- sistent player and could always be depended upon to get the ball down to the forwards. She, too, has another year to play. Page Ninetyxsix AUDREY LONG Audrey held down the position of run- ning center throughout the season. Her team-work and passing were very valu- able to the team and did much in winning our games. VIRGINIA ANTRIM No player ever put more into the game than did Virginia, who played guard posi- tion. Although only a sophomore, she was a regular on the first team and was a real menace to her opponents. RUTH MELSON Ruth was another freshman member of the girls' team. She developed into a good player in guard position and is sure to be a fine prospect for next year. MARY NELP This Was Mary's second year as for- ward on the girls' team. She Won a letter this year and it is hoped that she Will de- velop into a regular first team player next year. MARY MCGUIRE Micky is another Tigerette who shows promise of making a first class player. Al- though she was only a freshman, she Won her letter this year. Mary plays guard.

The automobiles were to be furnished by automobile dealers for advertising purposes. These contests were held for the purpose of stirring up enthusiasm in the student body. We believe that they were a success, for there was much rivalry and excitement in the school while they were being held. The contests were held last November and the voting was done during the Home Room periods. Any student in the high school was eligible and the students voted for the most popular girl and boy, the best-all-around girl and boy, and the most athletic girl and boy. The winners of these contests were not made known until the year books were published. The winners them- selves were not notified until time to have their pic- tures taken. It was through the courtesy of the following auto- mobile agencies that these pictures were taken: Lake- Ringo Motor Co., G. L. Murden Sz Son, and Rock-Hood Auto Co. We wish to extend our thanks to these deal- ers who so kindly consented to let us use their cars. The automobile dealers decided on the places they wanted the pictures taken. The winners of the contest are: the most popular, Laura Ditzler and Carson Conrad g the best all-around, Anna Arnold and Donald Pattong and the most ath- letic, Betty Ogden and Alfred Newhouse.

Oh I thought he with a bound- ing heart. Now will I make my greatest gift to the world. And with a dreaming expression he picked up a short, stubby pencil which was a trifle odd looking, due to the continual chewing it received when he was helpless- ly in a writing fever. A writing fever, my friends, is a very dangerous thing to possess. For your special benefit I will describe one, so that you may use all possible means to avoid it. You may be drinking a glass of water when all at once a dreamy feeling envelopes youg visions float hazily before your eyesg you hastily gurgle the remaining waterg and with leaps and bounds you arrive at some quiet place to write it down. It's very entertaining while it lasts but also very disgusting when it is over. So on this particular evening which I am describing, Willie was in one of these writing fevers. He was writing a beautiful CU and touching love scene. He began it thus- Yon beautiful moon In silver mists garbed, Shines on the garbage can In our back yard. Just then he was interrupted by a shrill call below, OhOOOOOooooo, Wilieeeeeeee! floud and long drawnj Ohooooooo, Wilieeeeeeeel Come down and take the scraps over to Grandma to feed to her chickens. With a sigh Willie dreamily arose from the chair and began to descend the steps. Feeling that darkness was grateful, he did not bother to turn on the hall light. All of a sudden the family below was startled by a loud bumping that seemed to come from the stairway. Willie quietly picked himself up with a poem made on the spur of a moment- Of all the sad catastrophes There's nothing can compare With treading in the darkness On a step that isnt there. Still in a daze he accepted the pan of bread crumbs and other items of chicken feed, and with a half-baked look he walked out of the back door bled on a large rock and lay prostrate in the alley, his head adorned by the crumbs. Alas! The poor chickens must go hungry that night. Still unshaken in spirit, he gently arose and walked back to his home. Again he was upstairs and continuing his love scene- The King was gurgling loud his soupg The Princess lovely glanced at a sword And cried, 'If you do not sup it lower, I'll run you through, my Lord I' Willie's eyes glistened. This time surely he had written a great thing. It was not yet done, however- Page One Hundred Twelve The armored Knight did stalk about. His sword he drew and clashed, But when walking near a small duck-pond Loudly in he splashed I Willie was at the height of his inspiration. A poet fif such he wasb is a very odd creature of humanity, or should I say humanity? It's rather degrading to the rest of the human race that claims a sound mind. I really believe a poet is half-way insane. This may seem an abrupt and harsh speech, nevertheless if Willie had been beheld by the general public, this theory would doubtless be easily grasped. I, with my feeble words, will portray as nearly as I can Willie's appearance at this interval. His hair was sadly ruffled, protruding from all portions of his Cranium in a madman fashion, his long neck C bestowed on him by naturej was seemingly stretched longer than ever, and from its interior penetrated low gulps and gur- gles 3 his ears, inspired by the other members of the singular object on his shoulders, pronounced by some a head, were large and, as genius seemed also to burn in them, they were red and seemed to overhang the sides of his head by several inchesg his eyes were large and dreamy, rather con- tradicting the rest of his odd appearance, while his singular physiognomy shook and quivered as his emotions passed. Surely he was inspiration in himself-to any keeper of an insane asylum. Willie began to write again in feverish haste. Cold perspiraton stood out in prominent beads on his forehead. Suddenly the inspiration burst in full flame. The paper upon. which fell his famous UD words bore this- Autumn's leaves will change, And spring's bright shades will come, But of all the constant changes, There's really only one. With its constant changing colors I'm sure it does astound And that, my good, kind friends, Is the hair of a peroxide blonde. Willie was triumphant. Exhaustcd from his great literary efforts he reached for a glass of water. He drank. The pupils of his eyes dilated. He gasped. He gulped. He slowly set the supposed glass down. His lips were dyed a vivid blue. He had drunk nearly a whole bottle of ink. His sensitive instincts had been ill directed. A The gentle moonbeams streamed in Willie's room. They met a strange sight there. Willie and his surroundings were be-smattered by the fluid, meant only for writing purposes. Willie was exhausted, but he felt the thrill of an exalted poet at the completion of a great literary success. He solemnly wiped the ink from his lips. He looked in the mirror. His face, head, neck, and other necessary members of his anatomy were splotched, smeared, and generally covered. He smiled. He gulped. His eyes blinked slowly in a happy, dazed manner. He gulped again. He was content. The writing fever was past. MORAL:-Don't be a poet. It's dangerous to your health and destruc- tive to all objects about when enveloped in the said writing fever. -HELEN HIGGINBOTHAM. Page One Hundred Thirteen T Zi: ' .QC 12. Q' ' ,lg Extracts From Diaries of Two P. H. S. Lassics January 9. The regular class room work com- menced. It is rather difficult to start studying again after vaca- cation. Miss Virginia and I received spec- ial permission to go to town today. Miss Perkins chaperoned us. The weather was extremely cold, so we wore our blue cashmere uniforms and heavy coats to match. I had a pleasant surprise today. Dr. Adams graded my paper a ninety. I had an engagement with Carl to- day, but the Dean did not allow me to keep it, because I have already seen him once this month. This afternoon a couple of us went for a walk with Miss Perkins. Carl passed and I dropped a note to him out of my sleeve. I am sure Miss Perkins didn't see me. I have been too much occupied to set down the events of the past three days. Study has almost buried me. I studied hard last night and con- sequently have a headache. The nurse gave me some little pink pills. My friends tell me I look thin, so I'm starting to eat more. I want to gain at least five pounds. Classes began today. More work. Today is a grand day. Just like spring. Betty, Edna, and I skip- ped fifth assembly and went for a nice cold Green iRiver at the Tav- ern. iMr. Bittle gave me a nice fat B on my exam. Surprise is no word to express it. Had mid-week date with Casey. All he raved about was Girls' B. B. Wonder if he could have been thinking of Dorothy? Why, how dared he do such a thing? Rented a car from Murden's this P. M. and I took a bunch and went for a nice long drive. I drove. We ended by going past the Tavern. Saw Duey and waved to him. Hello! I haven't written in this little book for three days. Every- thing seems to come at once. I , have been working night and day on a term paper. Had a lunch after the dance last night. Went straight to bed and today I have a peach of a headache. Miss Smith gave me some nasty pills. Was weighed today. I've gained nve pounds, so I began reducing immediately.

The orchestra gave a wonderful program this evening. I wish the folks could have heard it. I had a charming letter from Rob- ert today. I should like to reply tomorrow, but it will be more prop- er to wait until next week, I be- lieve. I have been studying for our sem- ester examinations and haven't had the time to write. Our Hrst semes- ter is nearly ended. Did Mr. Dewald give us a terrible surprise test? Well, I'll say so. Forty questions. We have a new jazz band in school directed by Bob Young. They play for the under-class parties. Had a darling note from Weeksy today. I'll answer next period, maybe. Forgot you again. I've been study- ing for semester exams. Whoops! February 1. Our class had a meeting today. The Juniors are planning to entertain the Seniors at a formal party. We will probably dance. We may organize a club. It is be- ing discussed very much. Made myself a nice new bonnet. Am to wear it Sunday. Had a parlor date with Carl this afternoon. Miss Perkins let him stay until five o'clock. Have discovered a new way to fix imy hair. The new style is quite popular. Page One Hundred Fifteen A Class meeting today. Everybody is ready for J unior-Senior Banquet with dance. Everyone is looking forward to May 28. Had an L. R. Banquet last nite. Girls invited their boy friends. I took Kenny. Am getting a new hat soon. Mam- ma says I must wait until nearly Easter, but I'll bet I don't. Went to Colonial with Phil last night.

A TRAN SF OIRM A TI ON Three weeks ago I was a veritable outcast. Ill-concealed sneers and curses were flung at my defenseless head. I was avoided on the streets, people would cross the street to avoid meeting me face to face. At social gatherings I was a wall flower of the finest species. Groups broke up at my approach. But all this is changed now! Yes, sir, it's entirely different. I am a welcome addition to any assemblage. People cross the street to be able to walk at my side. Groups gather around me at social functions. Yes, sir, since I've been buying my own cokes, everything has changed. Q Page One Hunflredl ght Q , X, gill it . . . ee,-E' ' V x., sf 'X . ..,.. - M.. If Schools Initiated Non-Stop Flights Saturday, Sept. 8: Ambitious Wise announces to his chum that, con- ditions being suitable, he will start to school next Monday. Monday, Sept. 10: Having reached the school and received his book list, Ambitious decides it would take some time to collect such large vol- umes and so postpones his entrance for a few days to make the necessary purchases. Thursday, Sept. 13: With books purchased and mind functioning perfectly, Ambitious is regretfully compelled to make another postpone- ment when he reads in the morning paper that unsettled weather with probable rain storms is forecast by the weather bureau. Saturday, Sept. 15: Ambitious decides, after an inspection of the streets and school lawn, that in its soggy condition it would be entirely uniit for travel. Monday, Sept. 17: With ideal weather and the urgent requests of his friends, Ambitious decides that this is the perfect entrance day, but owing to a regretable oversight, he has neglected buying a needed notebook, thus necessitating a further delay. 4 Wednesday, Sept. 19: His notebook purchased, Ambitious is once more deterred from making a start by a heavy rain, which might incur danger to his health. Friday, Sept. 21: Ambitious Wise issues to his friends and the school the statement that, owing to the growing uncertainty of the weather and the fact that he had such a bad start, his entrance into the school will be postponed until next September.
