More out of obstinence than for any other reason, Van Buren had vetoted it every time. In 1842, after his term had expired, Van Buren took a trip through the south and west. When he reached Indianapolis, the state capital of Indiana, he was royally entertained at a celebration and banquet in his honor. He remained in the state capital over-night and the next morning he started west along the National Road. In the meantime, certain Whigs, partly out of revenge for his veto of the road bill, and partly to impress him with the need for better highways, had bribed Asa Wright, driver of the Ex-President's stage-coach, to overturn the coach and spill the Old Autocrat in the mud, at a certain place a few miles west of Indianapolis. Asa Wright was familiar with every twist and turn in the road. It was not difficult for him to pick a nice spot for His Royal Highness to land in. No sooner had he reached Plainfield, then only a little community of half-dozen houses, than he began to look around for a place to stage the accident . When he had reached a place where the Friendis Church is now located, he turned the coach abruptly, striking an elm tree that grew by the side of the road, broke off a wheel and over- turned the stagecoach. The coach-door fiew open and Van Buren, with a glorious fiourish, went head first into the juiciest mud hole in the National Road. After the mud was scraped off the ex-President, to the accompaniment of much lurid language, Van Buren walked up the road to the Tavern that stood on the spot now occupied by the Citizenis State Bank of Plainfield, where he improved his appearance before resuming the journey. Whether a result of the unfortunate accident or not, the next road improve- ment bill passed by Congress was not vetoed by the President and in 1850-1851 the National Highway was made a plank road. Today it is a broad cement thorough- fare running from coast to coast. The tree that Wright turned his coach over against, is now an old monarch, fighting its last stand against wind and weather. In 1927, a tornado swept through the locality and tore nearly half of the beautiful old Elm away. The Lions Club of Plainfield came to the rescue however, and provided the money necessary to have the old tree cemented and strengthened, and today the historic old land mark still stands, a memory of the past and a silent lesson to America's youth.

The first scene Ends the class of 1929 herded into a sylvan dell-surrounded by a group of fiendish Sophomores. Terrilied, panic-stricken, poor little Freshmen. But behold-when the ceremony, known as the initiation, was at its height, a whistle sounded through the dell and the hostilities ceased. As Freshmen the class of 1929 hung up a record second to none. They came through every test of fire and brim- stone with colors Hying just a bit more proudly than before. SCENE 2. Winds howling through the hills and hollers , pale-faced Freshmen screaming and tearing their hair. Up-stage Sophomores, the class of 1929, standing just outside the mob of Freshmen, grinning sardonically, sarcastically, nay even liendishly. Great was the suffering of the members of the class of 1930 that night and great was the joy of the twenty-niners. SCENE 3. Two years of turmoil are followed by peace and quiet. The class of 1929 spends the majority of its time in the Senior High hard at work. Accomplish- ing little, possibly, but as work for a' that and a' that . Outstanding members continue to stand out, backsliders drop out, and in the words of one critic who has seen our play, What else do you expect? We broadcast next in 1929. If this program has pleased you, drop us a line in care of Station PHS, or in care of our beloved sponsor, Miss DeWeese. Good-bye. 1 f NPI I . - .ox K X ,N Vt. 51.6 wreak P 'vftx l .

At the very first of the year the Sophomores entertained ns at an initia- '- tion partly which was slightly painful. Of course that did not bother us. We resolved, however, that we would avenge ourselves the following year. But A we were doomed to disappointment. Our esteemed teachers did not feel as 1 we did on the subject: so compard to others, our initiation was like a gentle ' K tea-party. We were never a class to boast, but we feel that merit should be rewarded Our class has not been in P. H. S. quite long enough to show what it can do but already it begins to give promises of future greatness. For example Marx M 0,- Elizabeth Jackson and Harold Bly have been on the Honor List of Students nearly every month for two yearsg also the High M School Music- Memory team was made up entirely of Sopho f MAA ,Kg mores. 7 l 4 51' qNN,NQ . vii' Page 40 .. -W X . .... mmm, ab Q X X ' I , h lv .1 X- ir ' . , 'L xl.

This class sponsored by Mr. Hendrickson was organized September 5, 1927. Al- though we are still in Junior High, this year has been very different from the previous ones we have spent here because we are Freshmen. This class of 36 boys and girls, very inexperienced in the social world, has greatly enjoyed the few activities it has attended At the first of the school year the Sophomores gave the class a royal welcome party which was duly attended and greatly enjoyed by the class. The class feeling its indebtedness to the Sophomores, gave them a return party Ui dei the supervision ot Miss Florence Caldwell and Miss Madge Gentry, the tliss gave a play entitled The College Stick , with the following cast: Marv lwelvn Rushton luleanor Milam louise Bly, Marie Grimes, Ethel Milam. Ioreni Whitt Roberta Harrison, Donald Arnold, Jesse Paul Haney William Stafford Leslie Hughes, James Hessler, and Ras mond Stanley It vou have enJoyed the program you may tune in 011 Station PSHS in the year of 29 to hear the continued history of the class ot '31 'T' 'X 1 Statlon PJHS now signing off. ll 42 A 'V 'Flu 1- 1 I 4 b xx-wtf' Wtkhw:-:L Pan 41 lf 'Aa -,aw I 'K ' ,fm wi - 'Sf f A'+ix4 ..

EIGHTH GRADE On the morning of September 5, 1927, we ended a most delightful vacation and flocked very quietly into the assembly room of the Junior High School Building in pursuit of the eighth hidden mystery of education which we are finding is one continual round of happiness. A few weeks later, by tradition, we had a class meeting sponsored by Mr. Pruitt. At the beginning of the srhool year we had an enrollment of 4 forty-five, but now we number forty-one. Our class does not expect to be the largest that has graduated from - P. H.

Our work this year appears superior to that of previous classes due to the installation of a combination woodworking machine, electric glue pot, the use of special cabinet clamps. the purchase of kiln dried walnut and veneer stock, and the use of our tool crip which enables a system of checking out tools.

Music as a definitely organized course of study was introduced in the grades in the year of 1920 by the use of the Hollis-Dann Music Series. Since then the ex- cellent results of such a course have been proving themselves by constant expansion of music in our schools. The Hand, Orchestra, Girls' Clee Club, Boys, Clee Club, and the Mixed Chorus are the organizations that have resulted from the musical training our boys and girls have received in the grades in the past few years. The above organizations contribute programs for County Institute, Farmers' Institute, and various other organizations, as well as giving an operetta each year to raise money 'for the music department. The public schools should lay the foundation of morals, and music is clearly recognized as one of the moral forces by all students of sociology. This is the aim of the music department of the Plainfield public schools. ' The object of music is to strengthen n and cnnoble the soulf, -'ji -MORALES. K hx ei' is x Hr.

BAND AND ORCHESTRA Plainfield has reason to feel proud of its aggressive Music program. Not many schools can boast of a band and orchestra as a definite organization in their schools for the past seven or eight years, Our instrumental program first began with the introduction of a school orchestra. It was a small inexperienced group of boys and girls who had some instrumental raining from outside teachers. The organization con- 51 tinued to grow and some very excellent material has been found among rf. the boys and girls. It was deemed advisable, however, in 1926, to put all '25, efforts on one organization, so the orchestra was dropped for one school 51 year. 4 This year it was reorganized under the able leadership of Mr. Drake. i . Mr. Drake conducts private and group lessons two days a week, preparing .5 fl, 'f all hoys and girls for instrumental work free of charge. This ' ' X is a pogram of Free Lessons that only the larger schools in the ,J yt country have offered to the hoys and girls. We owe much of I fly' this to the splendid leadership and foresight of our superin- 1. LA' tendent, Mr. Johnson. ,Q ' ' -A Fixx R , I, , b 1 X NY K' J f JT: 33' 6 fm .QA 015 'A MV, Page 54 ' L5 ,.

THE ORCHESTRA Shortly after the organization of an orchestra, we felt the need of a school band, so such an organization was introduced in 1923. The organization has made splendid progress and has turnished programs on numerous occasions. Mr. Drake also directs the hand. Since our band and orchestra have made rapid srides, we feel now that .1 with the introduction of free lessons, we will be able to do bigger and ' better things, and we are looking forward to the inauguration of a school ensemble. xx A if S. ml Na.- 1 'Q mf gi w-kgs' 'ifkrllfillmx if ,....- 1--M : -Q-J ---'- ' ' 4 Plze as 1,,,gwF . , 1 J T' A!

H. S. The trip through our Fresh- man year was made in the best car we could afford, a Ford. The road was rough and narrow, and we -felt the need of a strong hand at the steering wheel. Ralph Johnson was elected president, George Carr, vice-president, Ruth Ashton, secretary, and Cecile Willis, treasurer. The Sophs duly initiated us into the mysteries of high school life, and we felt quite superior to our old friends who were still in grade school. We were exceedingly proud of our record during our Freshman year. A few members of our class were on the varsity team and in the high school band. ln the fall of 1925, we traded our old Ford for a Dodge. Two of our fellow- passengers were not present when we were ready to start, but as we could not wait, we resumed our journey without them and fi-fty-two young people bravely set out to endure the hardships of the journey. Wandering through our Sophomore year, was not quite as difficult as it had been the previous year. Again it was necessary to select someone to guide us on our journey. George Carr was elected presidentg Robert Bly, vice-president, Ruth Ashton, secretary, and Margaret Franklin, treasurer. On this trip we met such strange objects as Caesar and 'LGeometry,'. We over- came them, but with great difficulty. We also had many happy times that made our journey more enjoyable. This year more members were on the varsity team and in the highschool band and orchestra. By the time we were ready to start on the third year of our journey, our Dodge was almost unable to run and we traded it in on a brand new Lincoln. This year we lost two of our comrades, but two new passengers joined us and again we numbered fifty-two. Charles Ballard was elected president, Robert Bly, vice- presidentg Dorothy Winsted, secretary, and George Carr, treasurer. Our journey was half over and we decided to take things as they came and to have all the good times we could. The outstanding social event of our Junior year was the Junior- Senior Reception. We were very proud to know that we had given such a successful reception and to show other classes that our talents were not confined to athletics and music alone. We did, however, have members of our class on the varsity team and in the high school band. On September 5, 1927, we again reassembled to start on the last year of our journey. The goal we had started to reach was in sight, but we were very much grieved to find that only forty-six were to take this final trip in our new Rolls-Royce. We elected Robert Good for presidentg Oscar Hadley, vice-president, Dorothy Winsted, secretary, and Cecile Willis, treasurer And now as our journey draws to a close, we shall each in his ' I C private car take the separate roads as Alumni, strengthened and guided ,V .,, by our fellowship in P.

We may say that in making these bequests we have been said to possess in a remarkable degree, common sense. Article I To the faculty, we give and bequeath and devise our visions, all in good and unhampered condition. By this gift they will be enabled to depict the future of all the girls and boys under their charge, and so wisely to arrange their lives from day to day. By the use of this gift, we know, they will avoid all mistakes to which all ordinary members of the human family are subject. We also bequeath the rest and residue of our estate, including our gratitude for their guidance and help, and our deep affection. We would recommend that in the disposal of the aforesaid rest and residue they should recommend: ITEM 1. To Mr. Johnson all Physic experiments and hard math problems to help him in his future work, and our best wishes for future years. ITEM 2. To Mr. Tudor a new supply of yard sticks, also all love notes that we leave providing he reads them before the assembly. ITEM 3. To Miss Strange all essays and test papers to remind her of our illus- trious class. If anyone needs any extra points for outside reading, she may give them the ones we did not read. ITEM 4. To Miss Newlin four well-worn Vergil books and ponies. We hope that in years to come there will be more Vergil students, for we have had a most enjoyable time in this class. ITEM 5. To Miss DeWeese our shorthand note books, bookkeeping sets and typing books. We hope that she will keep them for future reference. ITEM 6. To Miss Boyd a small but helpful little volume entitled How to Make Entries in the Interest Book . ITEM 7. To Miss Caldwell all note books, leaves, seeds and other playthings that we think will not be necessary to take with us. ITEM 8. To Mrs. Grathwohl our song books and chewing gum. They, especially the chewing gum, have helped us in assembly ,singing very much.

Our names to head your Alumni subscription list. ITEM Our hearty good wishes for your senior year. Article IV To the Sophomores, who will soon become the Juniors, we give, bequeath and devise all the mistakes we have ever made. This is a most important bequest, because by our mistakes we learn more than ever comes to us in any other way, and if our own mistakes are so beneficient, how much more so must be those of others when they become our property. We also leave all unused pages in the Interest Bookn, which we feel will be enough for the first few days of school. Article V To the Freshmen, who will soon become Sophomores, we bequeath all our well- known tact and our powers of saying the right thing in the right place. The Freshmen, as everyone knows, really need this bequest more than any other branch of the high school. ' In order to help the Freshmen, we do will and bequeath our standing in the good graces of the teachers and our large stores of knowledge. Article V I To the Parent-Teacher Association we give our well-known powers of criticism and cavil, in full working order and capabilities.

'M Flite Han Buren lm Senior Cilass Prophecy One evening while sitting before the fireplace after a very trying day at school, I was wondering how I could spend my vacation, which was to begin the following week. As I sat there thinking, I suddenly had a desire to see my old classmates, some of whom I had not seen for twenty-five years. Whlie I was still thinking of this, the telephone rang. When I answered the 'phone, a voice that was somehow familiar asked, Is this Jeannette Sims? I asked who it was and the person at the other end of the wire snickered. It was unmistakable. I had heard that snicker disturb many a morning exercise period in my high school days. It was my old friend, Annette Negus, from whom I had not heard since my graduation. She was staying in Indianapolis while her husband was attending a farmers' institute. I told her of my desire to see my old comrades. After talking a while we decided to go to Plainfield to see if the old Rolls-Royce, that served us so well during our Senior year, would run. We reached Plainfield and went directly to the old Van Buren Garage. George Carr is still the proprietor of the service station and is also district agent for the Prophylactic tooth brush and Squibb's squirtless lemon squeezer. Mutt is forced to wear a wig now-a-days because frequent applications of '4Stacomb in his youth have caused his hair to fall out. Before starting on our journey we thought we would see if any of the bunch were still in Plainfield. Robert Good is still in the coal and ice business, but he says that Frigidaire is forcing him out of business, and that he is going to buy the old Stewart Monument Works. Scrubby says that ice may come and ice may go, but the monument business is a safe investment. ,loe Singleton is Superintendent of the Indiana Boys' School, and is so capable and efficient that it seems very likely that he will remain there all his life. We first drove to New York and visited Columbia University. I wondered whom we would find here, and I received the shock of my life when we approached a class room and beheld Lucille James instructing a class in Physics. She was saying to the class that she didn't understand why they got along so poorly and seemed to take so little interest, for it was her favorite subject. In the very next class room we found Karl Dott Bly teaching astronomy. and he seemed to be a very proficient instructor in that subject. Karl had invented the most powerful telescope in the world and has succeeded in plotting a map showing the position of every star in the universe. After this we drove to a tall New York building whose flashing sign told the world that it was the nlmperial Date Bureau of New York. In the main office of this gigantic structure sat Albertamae Nysewander, beaming on a couple who had gotten their first date through her Date Bureau. We learned that her name was no longer Nysewander, but that f, X she had married a well known actor. J ff? x ' -t ff. ', -rr .wk 1. ' mf 'L Milf Pr- f- i .Eff I ' u Ei In rftitf . ,. .

A -, ,swear Pile 65 el- ' The Qlilzm 'Quran ' lm We then drove to the other side of New York and found Margaret Franklin singing jazz in a noted cabaret. When she had finished one song that was especially good, people all over the house applauded her. 'LPeg has turned out to be a better mammy singer than Al Jolson. She told us that Virginia Mattern went to Europe shortly after graduation and fell in love with the Duke Cactignatia. So our Ginny is now the Duchess of Cactignatia. In Greenwich Village we found Cecile Willis. She is operating the Energetic Elephant , a quaint little tea-room, while her husband, an inspiring young artist, works feverishly on his masterpiece. Who would have ever thought that our Cecile would live to support her lesser half? We were surprised to find Robert Bly conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra. He has dyed his hair black and has grownla very foreign looking moustache, so that on the whole hc looks very much like an Italian Prince. He told us that he was wearing a moustache because it makes a trill on his trumpet ridiculously easy. The oscillations of the air through the brush-heap on his upper- lip enables him to make a vibratoon his chosen instrument that has made him the leading musician of the world. Catherine Wood and Christine Barlow are running Smith College. They have created a new system of teaching which is causing a furor in the educational world. They first starve their pupils for a few weeks and then 'feed thm only when they have learned their lessons. lt is said that their college is turning out graduates with record speed. We next drove to Boston. The first of our old classmates that we met was Oscar Hadley. I would never have known himg first, because he was working over a desk completely buried by stacks of papers, and secondly, because he was the owner of a very fine moustache. I learned from the conversation he was having with another gentleman that he was president of a factory for the manufacture of pinchless mouse-traps, which was the largest factory of its kind in the world. This surprised me very much, for the last I knew of him he was the foremost blacksmith in Fickle, Indiana. l knew he had moved, but I never thought he would gain such a high position. - David Blair was in Boston also. I sorrow to relate to you his degradation and downfall. After his wonderful career in high school where he was one of the out- standing members of the Senior class, he has sunk to the level of a piccolo player in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Q We next drove up into Michigan, and in the State University whom should we see but Helen Trees. She is trying to find a pony', that will carry a student through Caesar and Cicero and not leave him at the 4-3, post when a test is given. La Rue Moon is in the same city and when if we saw him he was dressing wax models in a ladies'-wear department of a large department store. He has had this position ever since he left I high school and still likes it very much. 'Just as we were leaving, 1 .N at 'Irv' Y Q f H , rift Nw, . 5 -' I ff 7' ,.

He is a member of the Northwest Mounted Police and is over in the States on leave. In Chicago we found Thelma Arnold working in Madame Mary Elizabeth Bar- low's lnillinery shop. Her designs are very original and are quite the rage at this time. The girls were very successful in their work and hoped to open a shop in New York before long. As we left their shop we bumped into Lynden Hayden and talked to him for a few minutes. He -is a travelirg Pencil Sharpener and is making good in this trade. He is still a bachelor and believes in Socialism. While we were in Minnesota we stopped at Mayo Brothers' where Helen Harley is head nurse. She is very happy in her chosen line of work. Helen told us that Nancy Elizabeth Averitt is in Paris. She is a world-famous artist and is working on her masterpiece. B , We reached Denver in time to hear the great opera prima-donna, Lavona Milam, sing. We should never have imagined her rising to such fame back in our high school days. But with all her greatness she is just as friendly as before she started her career. . We continued our tour westward, but did not meet any of our old classmates until we reached the Pacific Coast. In Los Angeles we found Heloise Cooprider and Elizabeth Ballard. -. Heloise is pianist of a jazz-orchestra that is said to be superior to the old Paul Whiteman orchestra, and is gonig on an extended tour ovcr Europe. Bee is the manager of the organization and is very business like. She is married and her husband travels with the organization and makes himself useful by polishing the instruments. They told us that Charles Ballard is a rancher in the northern part of the state. Although there are severe droughs in that part of the country and there is not enough water for ordinary cattle, Duck has solved the situation by crossing his stock with camels. They can go without -water for a long time and therefore he'is making a fortune in this business where others have failed. From Cali-fornia we drove to Texas. In Dead Manis Gulch we were arrested for speeding. After some little time we recognized the sheriff as Charles Harvey. He told us that he was planning to go to New York and visit his old friend, Bob Bly. As we left him we reflected mournfully that here was another case of a good man gone wrong. We saw Crystal Stanley in Dallas and found that she had become a leading club wornau and is considering joining some of the Indian Clubs. which are very attrac- tive and striknig. She told us that Marjorie Martin is in Oklahoma. She is the wife of a wealthy oil king and is a candidate for the Senator- ship from that state on the new 'LDomestic Supremacy for Womenv ticket. t R tx lliwft x ty 'nfl if X 's if Page 67 'pin' A Vi' 1 ,K , 1.

Lelia has be- come a noted violinist and Ivah accompanies her on the piano. They are very popular radio entertainers from Station WSM. ln Birmingham we found Betty McLaughlin. She is one of America's fore- most novelists. Among her best known works are Flaming Youthv, Down with Men , and Shall We Bring Back the Whipping Post . We found four of our old friends in Florida. Dorothy Winsted and Ethel Whitt had opened up a beauty shop and had a wonderful trade. Carrie Howard and Cora Simpson are teaching Home Economics in Miami. We had dinner with them and judging from the meal they have certainly made a success in their chosen vocation. We started North again and in Atltanta, Georgia, we found Edgar Swarn. 'Swanny has become the worlds' greatest historian and has just finished a history of Sweden that critics say is the greatest text ever written on this subject. ln Washington we stopped for a while at the White House and talked to Eldin Cuyer who is, as you all know, President of the United States. He is a most efficient executive and has proven his ability. He ran on the ticket of The Peoples' Friendw having conducted a tailor shop before he entered politics. Larue Carraway is a cura- tor of the Washington National Museum. He is a noted scientist and a big game hunter. When we talked to him he was full of tales of his adventures on a recent hunting trip in Alaska. Wendell Bly also lives in Washington. Back in our high school days who wuld have dreamed that Wendy would rise to such heights of fame. Mr. Bly is the Tiddledy Winks Champion of the United States!!.' As we entered Plainfield once more at the end of our journey, I thought to myself, g'Could there be any nicer way to spend your vacation than to see all your old friends and classmates? Although our vacation was gone we had satisfied our curiosity as to the extent our old friends were prospering. We had found that all of our class had made good and that the class of twenty- eight had left an imprint onthe sands of Time. fx , . J' f anis.

I inherited a Ford roadster. It was four years old, and in excellent condition, lacking only the tail-light, one fender, and the top. The machine was painted blue with white stars upon it, and with my red hair it looked very patrioticg so I called it Old Faithful . With this outfit I decided to visit Africa. The first obstacle encountered was crossing the Atlanticg this I accomplished by removing the fan and using it as a propeller. I bought two oars cheaply at the beach and with these improvements I had a safe and happy trip, and landed in Africa on the Fourth of July. I changed the fan back again, finding that it was just as good as ever. I promised myself a four weeks trip through Africa, and started merrily on my journey. After about fifty miles, I noticed my car was running more smoothly and with less noise than usual. Examining it, I was greatly alarmed to find I had lost the differential at least five miles back. But as it made no difference, I decided to speed along. Coming soon to the most wonderful camping place in the midst of the jungle, I camped for the night. I was thoroughly exhausted and soon fell asleep. In the middle of the night I heard a terrific roar. Jumping quickly to my feet, I grabbed a rolling-pin and ran out of the tentg there I saw two large eyes which were so bright that they blinded me. Cautiously I advanced, then I threw the rolling-pin, and crash!!! one of the lights on my car was broken to pieces. Out jumped an ape who had seen me driving my car and was trying to imitate me. -Elizabeth McLaughlin. i 1 t- ,5- ,ri f ' ,, 33:53 nf? his . Ng. .. J, 'sf ,.

Junior High Scllaooll Baslkctf: Balm Team The Plainfield Junior High School basketball team was organized late in the basketball season with L, C. Cox as coach. About twenty boys were out to make the team. Some few of the boys had received a little experience from last year's team, but on the whole the boys were newcomers. Everybody went to work, and in a short time all were ready to make an initial appearance. The team has on the whole been cited by many critics as a team possessing team spirit, that spirit of all working and pulling together, and that spirit needed to succeed in basketball contests, as well as in the life after basketball contests are a thing of the past. A large number of boys were out for the team, but the boys that had n l the element of stick and fight it out were: Raymond Stanley, Joe Pike, if Earl Babb, Barlow Neeley, Donald Glenn, Paul White, Robert Franklin, - Eugene Calbert, Thomas White, Jesse Paul Harvey, and Lester Bayliff. 1' 1 Junior High basketball is a training ground for future high school ' ' basketball players and it is hoped that the above boys have received K' V 4 basketball experience .that will enable them to make a championship team ' ' for Plainfield High School in the next, few years ,hir 1 ,453 K l ix H It 1,05 WP,-'ff 'U 1' 4, W' '5 ff- Q -wo X .

It was started in 1925 by Mr, Tudor and Mr. Johnson, to pass away the time for the boys at the noon hour duringweather that would not permit sports out of doors. Formerly we had four teams with about seven boys on a team. but this year due to the number of boys on the varsity team, we only had three teams. We played three days a week- on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays-each team playing twice a week. The games aroused the interest of the student body, and fellows playing on the teams attained exercise they would otherwise not have gotten if they had nothing to do but stay up in the assembly during the noon hour. Also, it trained fellows for the varsity team. The League has done much to keep the students' interest in school and in their work. The members of the team were: WAR DOGS Robert Bly fCaptainJ CAVEMEN Harlan Smith tCaptainD WILD CATS Kendrick Palmer Donald Turner La Rue Moon Karl Dott Bly John Paul Jones Larue Carraway Raymond Welker Albert Kilmer Cecil Slavens tCoachJ Eldin Guyer Herbert Taylor Wendell Bly Edgar Swarn Leslie Norman David Blair Robert Pickett Theodore Shefter Robert Denny fCoachJ Gerald Glenn Richard Hamilton Harry Hollingsworth Howard Pike Harold Sheets John Praay Robert Stephenson Ralph Johnson Robert Good fCoachJ The winners of the league the previous two years had a watchfob in the shape year the WILD CATS received the basketball K 'Q 2 , . 2, 'X tx .Q nge.

H. S. does. Last fall our team was composed of the following players Denny, Singleton, Carr, Good, Guyer, R. Bly, Taylor, Babbitt, Cooprider, Palmer, Pike, W. Bly, Slavens, Arnold, and K. Bly. We took part in five games-won two and lost one. We were rained out of the other two games. We played Monrovia part of two games. We played two innings in the first game. The score was 0-0 when the clouds opened up and ended the hostilities. In the second game at Monrovia, Peanut had just crashed out a three-bagger tying the score at 1-1 in the third inning when it rained again. West Newton was just too tough: they walloped us 9-7 in a seven-inning game. They were some kittens . Smoky Joe just couldn't keep the ball out of the groove that day: so the boys from West Newton just leaned upon the old apple and won themselves a game. Avon, our next-door neighbor, tumbled twice before Big Joe's slants, and they withered up before the terrific batting of the Quakers. The first game ended 15-7 for our gang, and the second ended 10-9 the same way, Both great games-lots of fun and all. The following players of the squad graduate with the big leagues this spring: Smokey Joe Singleton-His fast one is hard to beat when he can get them in the air. Mutt Carr-A real first-base man when the Whippet's in the garage. Scrubby Good-A good catcher if you can keep him behind the bat. Sheik Guyer-An excellent second-baseman who plays-back in the grass. Sandy Arnold-A wonderful shortstop if you can keep him awake. Wendy Bly-Boy! how he can bat-theoretically-I! Karl Dott Bly-He has speed and energy to burn-ll Snowie Bly-The scrappiest water-boy in America. pf .vi J' X -t, l-.

Although our school is handi- capped a great deal by the lack of equipment, we are certain that the year's work has been enjoyed by the boys. The class in Physical Education met three days each week. The program, as outlined by Mr. Tudor, ran something like this during the winter monthsg Q11 games- somethiug like forty games were explained and played, L25 military movements- emphasizing correct posture, alertness, and a sense of rhythmg Q33 health talks were made at regular intervals during the year. The following topics serve very well as to the types of topics that were discussed: Sleep-its relation to health g Exercise- its relation to healtl1 g Dangers of overeatingng Common diseases-how to avoid them : Care of the teeth -etc. In the fall and in the spring when the weather would permit, the Physical Educa- tion classes were taken outside. Sometimes it was pretty hot, and again, it was pretty cold, but no ill effects were suffered by the students, for they were convinced that fresh air was what they needed. Boxing was introduced as a part of the course, and many of the students became really interested in the manly art of self-defense , so interested, in fact, that a tournament was held in the spring. Several black eyes and a few bloody noses, but it was fun for a' that and a' that . - We feel that Physical Education should remain a part of the regular school course, and we feel that it should be put into the system for the girls, too. It isn't fair for everyone concerned for bout fifteen individuals, members of athletic teams, to be the only people that should get the proper amount of exercise, and that is what we find. In this age of commercialized sports, automobiles, radios, etc., it seems that people are becoming more and more lazy. Results: no exercise, boys arein't really healthy, red-blooded boys, but effeminate-yes, even sisterly little fel- lows, Let's have some more Physical Education, and the types just men- tioned can be jollied out of this indifference.

We are not the bearers of history, prophecy, literature or school activities, but just messengers of joy, laughter and smiles. ,Tis easy ennugh to be pleasant When life flows by like a song. But the man worth while. Is the one who can smile When everything goes dead wrong? We believe in this philosophy of life. Just smileg a smile is worth while. Lay aside from time to time the heavier burdens of life and smile-just smile. Look for the bright side of life, the joyous side, the humorous side and make life worth while. The toils that seemed heavy are lightend. The sun that was shining but dimly bursts forth in all of its glorious splendor. If you have any sour grapes in your system, make 'em into preserves. The best furnishings of a home are happy facesg the best seasoning of daily bread is a smileg the best music to soothe weariness is laughter. So, readers, dear, when you get up in the morning and dress for the toils and cares of the day, don't forget to complete the job and, last of all but not least, put on a smile. May all of the pages that follow interest you and please you, but most of all, make you smile-just smile-smile until you have ,formed the habit and the face is set with a smile that will not come off, and thus life's pathway made richer and happier. t Sometimes the test of the heart is trouble, Ami that always comes with years. And the smile that is worth All the praises of earth. Is the smile that smiles through tearsf' -x-x-x- We have often wondered just how the faculty defined certain words.
