THE SENIOR ANNUAL Because she always minds her business she is busy all the day. Beulah Whom we all adore comes the next in this long list, She'll be great and famous some day or my guess I've surely missed. Nada, too, we're very fond of, and believe the hushed suggestion That ere many moons have vanished, she'll say Yes to the important question. ' Cyril Foreman, prophet, artist, dramatist of local fame, Has designs in the American which will surely make his name. Lineberry, king of the chemical lab. is truly not so very bad, Tho' he did cry Turn it off when electrical shocks were the fad. Next Miss Fern Gibson, tall and stately, we have seen and you will see That it is a task most easy to guess whose wife she's going to be. Walker with his sprightly grace, and radiant jovial face, In bestowing class gifts here will take a most important place. It seems the jest of heartless fate, that here I needs must mention Kate, Her daily messages to Bob-and early strolls.-a Purdue date! Mercie, the renowned reporter, hastened to the Indian show, Showing her great admiration for the big brave, Oh you Joe! Thompson keeps the finest order with his Parliamentary Law, Under this executive we moved along without a flaw. Bob Long the name Sport does merit, for he always cuts a swell. If he can't ride with the others, the bumpers do him very well. Leia by the class was chosen with our funds to be intrusted, Champion feather-weight she's guarded and has kept a treasury busted, Hannah beams about among us with a smile that's quite informal, As she's going to be a teacher she will hasten straight to normal. At the end of our long list now we mention Hazel Love, She's the girl who makes progression without needing a large shove, To those whose names I here have read, Pray pardon any unkindness said, For the class of 1910, is a jolly good class, And soon to tne great, wide world must pass. So forgive and forget as we take a last view, Allt. bid the old hall a fond adieu.

THE SENIOR ANNUAL through the four long years the class emerges triumphant. Al- though we have held our breath at times frightened to ask the out- come of those tests, yet we have always safely crossed the Rubicon. As a slight token of our appreciation for the school we leave to our under-classmen and their successors, a set of books by the most prominent authors of Indiana. We have long been together and learned to know each other well so we can give you some of their most notable characteristics. l First upon the scene appears Erwin Machelg a world of knowledge he has in his brain, Not a true poet, never seen with the girls, he's not like any other swain. Mabel has a very wise headg should any detective force need a spy, We recommend her quite unreservedly diflicult places to supply. Edna Johnson told of the pony-colts and of the cribs and crams as well: That was in history: misfortune followed. Oh! 'tis a story sad to tell! Then comes Bertus elected orator by his classmates friendly all, Wonderous wise he stands among us tho he's not so very tall. Paul, the chief editor, had to quit napping when on the annual he must work. Slugging, however, his famous accomplishment nothing on earth could induce him to shirk. g Frances Marks renowned for talking, noted linquist, too, as well, Often inquisitive,- pardon Frances, this is all we're going to tell. Ferrel's the lady who's slightly serious: to tease her a little is really a shame, Yet we're afraid she'd be much offended if we should carelessly leave out her name. Edwin's the one who we're sure will be heard from: his fame will reach from sea to sea, None can deny that very plainly the signature and stamp of power had he. Perfect men are often talked of, seldom seen as you'll agree, But in Marc perfect perfection is the marvel we all see. Rural Hazel's not a weakling, you remember how she balked, How she from the girl's mass meeting, firmly, bravely, boldly stalked? Quiet Erma, seldom heard from, always studies by the hour, What her future's going to be quite transcends my telling power. Irene the beauty p-e-r-f-e-c-t-l-y adorable, you all know her I'll wager a crown, Delta Tau bracelet, that tells the story for Don too, is of high renown. Sweet Marie the pretty bluffer, forged excuses, and one time Traveled south to see a person whose name you know and I can't make it rhyme. Now the girl who reads the minutes: she's not one who needs a lift, Her asprations quite amaze us Independence Esther's gift. Ask McKesson of ponderous phrases about his suit case on the stair, When he called one girl's story too poetical he hurt her feelings beyond repair. Flossie In chemistry gained notoriety, by the other girls were blamed For guessing a compound they knew not the name of she has ever since been famed. Mac, that most ambitious Senior, famous star in Physics class, Has invented tricks now enough to enable him to pass. Walter takes up his work so lightly, seems as if he thinks it's fun. You'd never know he has a trouble. now those extra tests are done. From the north came sober Lois, she will work and win her way,

THE SENIOR ANN UAL The Annual Dinner. E. Johnson, P. H. S. '10. It was about a year ago in the middle of May when tl1e young Misses who carry their lunch to school planned a festival. lt was to be held in the Assembly Room and the two large reference tables were to be combined so the waitress would have plenty of room to show her great gift in that line. The teachers were invited and every one reported an excellent time. But alas! the time came when another was to be held, and had it 11ot been for the skillful management of Miss Hannah serious trouble might have resulted. She thot it best she went to Fred's, That's why she did not come. Another lassie was going to invite the teachers or not come. But she was iinally subdued by the lawyer's wife. At last all was arranged and even H- had decided to come because this was a grand affair. All was peace when just twelve in number sat down to their glorious feast. Chicken, sandwiches, cake, cookies, pie, pickles and everything imaginable was to be served. But lo! who was tocarve the chicken which a sunny gay girl brought from her country home? No one dared. Finally Miss Hazel attempted the task which we all know she will not undertake again. The result was the Gay family had chicken Land a bunj for supper. The pretty waitress tripped, spilled a tray of home made cookies, cracked the plate, and broke a date. This disaster received the A11 's and Oh 's of the happy twelve and just then Miss L- choked on a piece of peanut pie. Someone went to call the ambulance but at that moment Miss L- recovered and it was discovered that she had just had a laughing fit because it was her plate that tl1c waitress dropped. After the din- ner tltc baskets were set in the hall and all were patiently Waiting for the lemonade that was to be served in the library at 3 :45. When the time came they all adjourned for the lower story. VVhile they were drinking Qin the wack partj someone Cthey know not whoinj sampled the cherry pie. After a few unkind words by just two of the young ladies, undoubtedly sisters, they all fied in wild con- fusion thankful there would be only one sister, a junimore, at the next Annual Dinner. 4V7hiVb iifirt A 1 'f r YI N 4, ,W i N F
