TWENTY FOUR JN Ogg Class Poem Four years of happy days Have gone into eternity, No more can we recall them hence lfxcept in memory. llach year has brought its troubles But we blot them from our mind, And just remember happiness XVith all the good old times. In Basket Ball and track XVe'x'e far surpassed the rest, And we're proud of our dear heroes XYho'Ve made our class the best. Then, too, in public speaking' XVe've had more than any class, They have won us many laurels .Xnd we know they're not surpassed. XYe are proud of eachyears record For we feel we've done our best, .-Xnd we know we're up to standard In answering every test. Good bye dear Alma Mater NYe must leave our High School days, XYe've obtained sufficient knowledge To send us on our ways. A . -Rieta Zehner, '19 I .0400 A Q' Q 'E JZ, Class Son Music- Kis-ses . 'LL Since the time that we were Fresh-ies. NVe have loved this High School well, But as the time draws near when we must leave XVe love it more than we can ever tell. Cho:- Dear old High School how we hate to leave you. For now our happiest years are through, Still we'll have all our pleasant memories Ui the times we've spent i11 you, Dear old class rooms, better still the assembly We now bid you a fond adieu, V For we're leaving our places to the junior class, And we hope that they'll honor it too. l2v'ry Senior loves the teachers QU They have helped us win success. 'l'ho' there's much to forgive and things to forget, XVe know that they wish for us the best. Cho 1- Dear Miss Renwick is our class advisor, More than this she's our friend and chum. Then there's Steiny full of wit and wisdom, XVe think he's excelled byrnone, Next comes Galbreath with the highest ideals. Then there's Bond with her teacher's pets. They have stood by us true and helped us thru And we leave them with many regrets. l5'rincie get under the bed, Josie many times has said. But we know he's meant this to help us along And so we include it in our song. Choz- H v Oh Miss Scott you're a popular lady, You have friends in every class. Miss Vermilion youlre so very pretty. You have won our president at last. Mister Crook with his line of advise, And Miss Boss who's so full of fun. Then Miss Kercher whom fate made best in debate. And now our story is done. RIETA ZEHNIER and FSTHER BOSXVORTH. TVVENTY FIVE .922 Wt? Her Dial' 'i3. , An old lady sat knitting by the tire-side listening to the steady patter of the rain on the window pane. Presently a boy of perhaps seventeen or eighteen bounded into the room. She looked up at him proudly and lovingly as he called her Gramsey.' Now the patter of the rain could scarcely be heard above his boyish laughter and hilarity. He had just received his Mayflower' and he sat by the old lady showing her the pictures and talking excitedly about this and that. As he showed her the picture of a splendid new building, the new l'. H. S. her mind wandered back to 1919 and she thought of an old red brick building her dear Alma Mater. He showed her the pictures of his gym and swimming pool. She could make no compari- son now between the old and the new for she had none to compare. But there was one thing in which she could excel the boy-her love for her school. He was not old enough to appreciate his school days but she cher- ished every moment of hers. She did not speak any regrets because she had not had the advantages her grandson was having. She loved every inch of the old building too well to find any fault with it. She listened attentively to his stories of school life but all the while she was thinking of her own so many years ago. A f'W'ould you like to hear the stories of my school days? You will find my diary in my room in the bottom of my old trunk.' She had scarcely finished speaking when the boy returned with the book. lt was a small green book bound in gold with the word Diary engraved on its cover in large golden letters. She had prized the book especially because it was the colors of her class, green and gold. She' glanced at the familiar pages a moment and then asked the boy to read them to her. lle opened the hook and began reading: Sept. 13, 1915. 10:00 P. M. My! but this has been an eventful day. So much has happened and so important that 1 scarcely know what to say about it. This morning I en- tered P. H. S. with eighty-eight class-mates. You should have seen me strut past the eighth grade room but when 1 got up-stairs the upper-class- men took that out of me. Oh! its awful! I'm afraid lim not going to like High School if every day goes just like today. XYe made so many blunders Zlllfl those naughty upperclassmen clapped their hands every time we moved. A big fat Senior girl bumped into me accidentally on purpose, then said: Oh! pahdon me! 1 was tired and meant to lean against the walls. I do wish they'd tint those walls some other color beside green. It's so hard to distinguish them from the Freshmen. Don't you know ? Oh! I was mad! But you just wait Seniors, we'll show you. You'll be sorry some day. TVVENTY SIX . ' Gln .922 g Sept. 20. Had our hrst class meeting this afternoon and managed to elect our of- ficers without the help ofthe Seniors either. Mr. McDowell suggested all our motions and Floyd Cullison made them so we got along pretty well for the first time. March 3, 1916. My! Diary, it has been a long time since I have written in yo.u and so much has happened that 1 don't know where to begin. Today the Fresh- men issue of the Filgrim came out and every one says it's the best one that has been published. Are we proud of it? My! Goodness Yes! The upperclassmen are treating us fairly decent now. Once in a while they even say nice things about us, say we have lots of pep, pretty lively bunch, and wait until we're Seniors and then old P.ll.S. will wake up. If it wasn't for the excitement and thrills furnished by some of our members, that H. S. would be as dead as a door nail. I'ifer has been playing on B. B. team all year. Mighty good for a freshman to make first team and be considered second best player too. Garn and Cullison are playing in the orchestra Two good players so Miss Scott says. April 4. Oh! Diary, I'm so excited I can hardly write. just think! we won the tournament. Against some of those two hundred pounders and experienced players too. My, but wont those upperclassmen be jealous now? lVe're going to celebrate in school tomorrow and Oh! yes we're to get a banner out of it too. May 28. All over. Now to wait for next Sept. Sept. 7. Back at school again and it seems good too. I am a real for sure Sophomore now. Had more fun than a picnic today laughing at the Fresh- ies. They're surely a hopeless bunch. Our class didn't make half as 1nany blunders. and we were bad enough, goodness knows. 1 lctober 2. Athletics!! Thats where we shine. XVon the tug-of-war this after- noon. Isnt it great? I thought No hopes at alll' when I saw those big Senior and junior men. Our men looked like pin heads beside them. NVe won it just the same. Making some name for ourselves in Athletics. May 30, 1917. Today was my last day of school and I am not one bit sorry eith- er. Those awful finals they are making us take this year drive me crazy. This last semester has been very dull. Of course our class not going backwards by any means. Two of our fellows won points in Track, live are in the Orchestra this year, one in High School Play and etc.--See? NVe haven't missed a thing. TVVENTY SEVEN -LV' Oo QKTQ I5 are Se ut. S. I Oh! I wished this wasn't the first day of my junior year because I don't Ieel like writing in you tonight and I know my junior year will be so im- portant that I ought to start it out right. Today was just like all first days. Speeches! l Advice l! Resolutions!! October 16. Something new--Mr. Dutter has a bright idea. Intends to read the number of honors and failure in each class before the assembly in order to stimulate class rivalry and thereby get better results from the pupils. That would be .all right if our class was flushed with honor students but as it is we're always rather embarrassed. But then anyway we're always sure of our one, Chauncey Goodman. Even if our clas did fall short on the honor list the members seemed to take a certain pride in the surplus on the failure list so I guess they didn't feel so badly after all. May 28,9 1918. Don't be so surprised Diary because I am writing in you once again. You know I always managed to think of you on the first and last days of school anyway and today was another last day. so see? that accounts for it. I've lots to tell you tonight. First of all I have been promoted so now I am a Senior. Dignified Senior isn't that what they say? Junior- Senior recep- tion was the big affair of the year. XVe certainly gave the Seniors a wonderful reception but some way they did not seem to appreciate it or at least they did not show itQ I guess they were sort of dis- appointed because it happened to be a reception instead of a banquet. It wasn't our fault though. Mr. Hoover wouldn't let us-war times you know. I hate to begin on school activities for there's so much to be told about our class. lfVe furnished more members for the events and organization than any class. Oh! yes, and Harold Pifer won a medal being the second best athlete in the county. Best of all, a member of our class, 1VIildred Lemert, was chosen to represent the H. S. in Northern Indiana Declamation Contest. Next time I write in you I will' be writing about my Senior year. Doesn't seem as though I've been in I'. II. S. three years. Does it? Sept. 9. Seems good to be back in school this year. More fun being a Senior you know. By the way we have almost all new teachers this year. livery- one was as good as gold today. Trying to get in good, See? March 1.4, 1919. ' Gave the Senior program this morning. Best one of the year so everybody says. All kinds of compliments on our class stunt XVhy XYe Never Mar- ried. March 19. 12 P. M. Here's the best thing our class ever did. XVon another Inter-class Tournament. Been up to school decorating ever since 9:30. My! won't 'IWVENTY EIC IIT W! the underclassmen be surprised in the morning when they see our colors draped everywhere in the assembly room and our banner flying from the Steeple. I know some that are not going to take much pleasure sitting un- der them. Can't help it though, Freshmen. XVe have to celebrate some way so be good losers. lVe are going to pull off a little stunt in the morning. April 21. Inter-class Track-XVhoopsll Took first in everything except high jump and most of the seconds. Some athletes in our class. lVe're pround of them too. May 3. Oratorical contest!! Kenneth Lackey won the Uratorical and Rieta Zehner the Declamation Both the High School representatives were chosen from our class. Isn't it iust too good to be true? May 29. Diary Dear do you realize that tonight is the last time l'll ever write in you again? Aren't you sorry. just think it's all over now. Haven't decided yet whether I am glad or sorry. I know there are a lot of things 'l am going to miss terribly next year. For instance -losie's lecturers on whis- pering and all his favorite sayings. Also Crook's extemporanious speeches. llVhoever told that man he was good at that?l More than either of these l'll miss my class-mates. After all there is nothing more worth while in one's High School life than the friendships formed there. Then there's our class advisor, Miss Renwick. Don't think I've forgotten her in my Diary. livery Senior is sort of backward about mentioning her name simply because he never can find nice enough things to say about her. And I'm in the same lioat, Diary. No one who hasn't worked right with her knows of the time she spent on the Senior annual and of the worry and responsibility connected with it. XVe surely appreciate, it Miss Renwick. And now Diary I know I l1aven't told you about our junior-Senior banquet, Baccalaureate, Commence- ment or anything. But I'm too sleepy tonight. Some other time maybe. This was the end of her diary. The boy looked up from the book and said VVell Gramsey that class of '19 must have been some class. XVouldn't mind belonging to it myself. He received no answer so spoke again. This time in a louder tone but still no answer. He looked at the old lady and saw that she had fallen asleep with a smile upon her face like that of a school girl. OFFICERS :- NX President- Roy English ll, 3, -lil Harold Pifer 125.

ESTHER BOSNVORTH, 'l9. D TWENTY NINE vi v SKNQ We Class Prophecy 'U- It was on a wonderful day in May, 1925, that I came upon a little brook near the edge of a wood. Tired from my long walk, I sat down beside the stream and began to think of the class of '19, Suddenly I was startled to hear a tiny voice call me, and turned around to find a tiny fairy resting upon zz tiny white cloud. Noting my surprise, the fairy explained that she was the Goddess of the Things That XVere,', and that her special charge was the class of '19. Accepting her invitation I climbed onto the cloud, and was surprised to find myself no larger than the fairy. ' As we were in the country, it was only natural that we should first visit a farm. A large part of the farm seemed to be devoted to the raising of every kind of pig, from the Poland China, down to the Guinea Pig, and I knew that Alonzo and Goldie had united their efforts, and were making a success of their chosen industry. The cloud floated on for sometime when we drifted over the now thriv- ing town of Harris. A large sign reading The Harris Herald, told me that the town boasted of a newspaper. XVe fioated past a window, and to my surprise, I saw Cleatus Hahn seated at the editor's desk. Judging from the success of the annual put out in '19, I always knew Cleatus would make :1 good editor. Kenneth Lackey has secured a position as cartoonist. On the opposite side of the street, another window was open. As we floated past this window, I heard the rapid clicking of a typewriter, and upon looking in at the iwindow, I saw Naomi Schroeder seated at the typewriter, while our former President, Roy English paced up and down the room, rapid- ly dictating his next speech to be made at the next merchants meeting of the city. The now thriving town of Linkville was the next visited. The town was celebrating the election of their second mayor with parades and music. A shining brass band rounded the courthouse corner and I recognized the leader, Floyd Cullison. The next in line was a suffrage band, and I was sur- prised to see our former debator Flora Davis, at the head of the procession. Again we were in the country, and directly below us were a large num- ber of buildings. Lots of little kids were playing in the yards as we floated over the grounds, and I knew the place to be an4Orphans Home. And what do you think! There was Vera Mills, matron, and Marie Baugher as as- sistant. I now found myself in Burr Oak. The town had become a large ath- letic center. A large Gymnasium had been erected in the suburbs and Chaun- TIIIRTY 322 W cy Goodmann had secured the position of coach, with Forrest Hoover and Bill Richeson as assistants. Then I saw the Inseparables. I was drifting along through the coun- try, when I noticed a large building. As we floated past a window, I looked in and who do you think I saw? jane, Mildred and Esther. They had com- bined their various talents, viz. dancing, music and tatting, and had started lv school for girls. Then I drifted through Hibbard. Here Clifford Drake had started a Model Pharmacy all his own. I guess Earl Parker is learning the trade un-- der Clifford, for I saw him standing in the door of the shop. Hibbard seem- ed to have special attractions for many of the class '19, for I also saw Mil- dred Myers, who has a millinery store and sells all the latest hats direct from Plymouth. And there was 'Hope Gibson too. I don't know what Hope was doing in I-Iibbard, but I have my suspicions. It was only natural that from Hibbard we should drift into Culver and past the Academy. Here Rulo was installed as leader of the Academy handy and I am quite sure that he was a success. Here I also saw Pifer who was, and still is, I guess, the director in the athletic department of the Academy. Harold and Rieta have a very cosy little home near the edge of the lake. Maxey was engaged in directing the chorus class of the Culver High school when we passed that building, hence we didn't linger. Again the country looked familiar, and soon I discovered that we were again in the country north of Plymouth. XVe floated over a field where two girls were busily cutting hay. Sure enough, it was Iris and Lillian, who had completed their agricultural curses at Purdue, and were making good use of their newly acquired knowledge. On a tiny farm, and all by their lonesome, lived Ilo and Esther. Most of the farm seemed to be devoted to raising Howers and chickens. Ollie Wfebster also lives on a farm, but not in single bliss. It was too far to go to Indianapolis, but the little fairy told me that Ruth Nichols was making her home there. As we were again nearing Plymouth, which is still my home, I thanked the fairy for her kindness, and asked to be taken home. just about two miles from Plymouth, I passed the school-house, where I have spent the last four years. q I awoke! Dazed, I glanced around me and was surpised to see that the tiny white cloud had changed to a large black one: and was still more sur- prised to learn that it had all been only a dream. But I am sure that all the members of '19 are successful. THICLMA KYSER, 'l9. THIRTY ONE dw U 1 JWO0, C--4 dh mfxx Class Will 'ij. State of Indiana, Marshall County, Plymouth.

Item I. XVe, the Senior class, of the Plymouth High School, leave to the said High School all our trophies, which we from time to time most laboriously obtained, all of the pencil and knife markings, which we have left, accidentally of course, on the desks in the different class roomsg we want to leave with you too, a lot of pleasant memories of us, for you to keep in your minds for ever and ever. The only things we are taking away with us are, legions and legions of learning, gradually and thoroughly soaked, pounded, and slammed, into our heads, and above all the pleasantest memo- ries of our lives, the memories of our four years with you in the same old building which has grown to be so dear to us all. XVe know you will not begrudge us these small things, which could not be taken from us, even if you tried, so firmly are they established. Item II., To the teachers as a body, we leave our sincerest thanks for their untiring efforts in our behalf, and also our sincerest congratulations in turning out from the Plymouth High School such a fine promising, good- looking, enterprising class of Seniors, and we know that the world will ever be indebted to you. Item III. XYe the Senior Class, leave to the juniors, not only our seats on the lfast side of the assembly, talthough we're sure they don't de- serve theml but also our ability to plan and carry out original programmes. of which same ability they are so insanely jealous. i Item IV. To the Sophomores, we leave the seats formerly occupied by the juniors, or rather what are left of them, and our beautiful plan for decorating the assembly, in case they should happen to win the Inter-class Tourney next year. These plans will be left in the hands of Mr. Lauer, as representative of the class. Item V. l,Ve leave to the cunning babies, the Freshmen, the bal- loons which we had left from our now famouscelebration, and the ever pleas- ant memories of child-hood, bobbed-hair, and knee-trousers, and also the dreams of being, .sometime in the future, 'fbig men and womenf' flike usj. To Mr. Steinbach we will one comb, one brush, Cpocket sizej, always on hand, in case he should forget himself, get excited and muss his TIIIRTY TWO U gif hair, and automatic spanker with which to spank those unruly grade boys as we notice his shoe sole is getting thin, and also some axle grease to put on his squeaky shoes.

To Mr. Crook, we bequeath a pair of goggles,', the better to see you with, my dearsf' and a new edition of How to make B. B. stars out of noth- ing. To Miss Reed, we give and devise some enterprising juniors, to pound French into, some new Freshmen for English class, a trolley car to get her to school on time, and a megaphone for future use in the assembly. To Miss Vermilion, our amiable commercial teacher, we dedicate' one Victor Shanks, to take the place of Bill, a standing invitation to all the dances, and a fresh bouquet of flowers every morning morning. lVith Miss Kercher, we leave a new Latin room, just a little nearer the railroad tracks, another promising Public Speaking class, material on all kinds of debates both masculine and femininef, and a policernan's suit to wear while on guard duty in the assembly. As our last will, we leave to Miss Bond, a young man to be on duty all yearg a bottle of soothing syrup for Colds and Coughs, a pad of 5,000 pages, on which to record the names of all who whisper, and a Swagger stick, so she can put her hands on it, and thereby save her Uhipsf' To Miss Boss, we leave our entire vocal and musical ability for future use in Concerts. Also thirty-two copies of One Hundred and One, song books, slightly used. The song jingle Bells, is well preserved in them all. To Miss Holzbauer, we leave our new gymnasium, our swimming pool, Indian clubs, and our wonderful May pole, to be used in the May festival. Also Victor Shanks, if she will promise to help him grow thin, by some of her reducing exercises. Last and most important of all, we wish to leave with our loyal friend and faculty advisor, Miss Renwick, our thanks for her wonderful help to us this past year, our undivideed wish that she may have a happy future, and also the hope that if she is ever faculty advisor for another class, they will appreciate her as much as we do. , THIRTY THREE 9 U aiyxg tw! ' 'WW In addition to these bequeathals we have made to the teachers, the fol- lowing members of the Senior class wish to leave some of their personal property to youg or if you should die before this will is carried out, your closest relatives. I, Roy English, President of the class, and pet of all the teachers, also famous dancer, leave to Albertus Zumbaugh, my dainty ways, and dainty feet, both to aid him in his chosen profession of Village Cobbler. I, Cleatus Hahn, bequeath to Mr. Crook, my nice turn back collar, used in our play, lVhy 'iYe.Never Married,', my red and yellow tie, together with my new purple coat, so he can be heard better while lecturing to the remain- ing pupils. XVe, Harold I'ifer and Rieta Zellner, leave to George Stevens and Edith Boys, all the furniture and housekeeping utensils we have in our hope box, because you never can tell what will happen. I, Chauncey Goodman, will to one Harold Robertson, my ability to make love to the girls: and my cure for bashfulness, which I'm sure Harold can put to good use. To George Cummins, I, Clidord Drake, Esq., leave my famous book How to Torment and Make Love to the Teachers, as I think he is in need of it. I, .lane Aspinall, will to Gale Troyer, my perfectly good Cremona violin, which has had but slight use. Now Gale will be able to demonstrate before the assembly his famous selection You XVore a Tulip and I wore a Big Red Rose, with Hlfverybody Hula, for an encore. lVe, Vera Mills, Flora Davis and Ollie Webster, do bequeath to Louise -lones, Rae lllutchler and Loretta Moore, our pure bred, wholesome, rosy cheeks. This is for the purpose of conversation of cosmetics.

I, Alonzo l'. Richards, give, devise, and bequeath to the Plymouth High School, of Plymouth, the State of Indiana, the sum of 39c, which I have earned and saved to give as a farewell present.

Now Sammie will be able to doll up in long trousers, when hc goes to see his best girl, whoever she may beg Sam is so tickle. After many a pain and much sacrifice on my part, I, Bill Richeson, wish to leave to XVilliam Mullane, Freshie, my box seat on the front'row, right next to Miss Bond. This sacrifice on my part is made to aid the suit of VVil- liam, and to quicken his courtship of Miss Bond, they being so near the same size, make an adorable couple. I will do this under one consideration, and that is, that Miss Bond will not forget me during her courtship. I, Forrest Hoover, leave my vocal powers to Ivo Huff, my special brand of perfume to Henry Baske, my artiiicial diamonds to VVayne Young, and my affection for Bill linglish, to the two lovable babies, Bob Clough and Charlie Jones.

Upon departing from you, I, Ruth Nichols, wish to leave my stand-in with all the teachers, to that naughty boy, Justus Loefler. My gurgling laughter to Anna Buzzle to take the place of her tittering giggle: and my aptitude for learning chemistry formulas to Bob Clough, in case he should need it sometime within the next ten years.

I, Mildred Lemert, after due thought and deliberation, have decided that in all my personal property I have nothing good enough to leave anyone: the only things I have of any consequence are my worldly goods and my ability to be a mere employee, and let the others boss. This last I leave to Francis Zehner, as she has a tendency to do the same. All my great wealth, accum- lated from childhood, I leave to Mr. Josenhans, so he can have a school of his own and run it to suit himself.

FORTY H .4lo, .ZZ The Best Prize 'LL In the High School of Sunbridge, New Hampshire, great excitement prevailed for the faculty had offered a prize for the best essay written by a High School student and the students were to select their own subjects. This school was not very large, consequently not many events took place and anything was welcomed to break the monotony of school routine. In this school were a girl and boy, Ruth Blakely and james Dawson, who were rivals for the honrs of the school in scholarship as well as in school pleasures. Ruth usually was a little ahead of james and he resented this. Therefore there was not much friendship between the two. NVhen the princi- pal announced this contest there grew in each ones mind a determination to win. Ruth Blakely was really a western girl but her parents had moved to the eastern town just a few years before and the change of customs and ways was very hard for them. So.Ruth decided to write an essay contrasting the western ways with the New England customs. She called it, When the XVest Came East. A y Meanwhile all the other pupils were working hard on their essays, but one in particular was working with unusual vim. This was James Dawson. But while he worked the thought came to him that how much nicer it would be if he should win the prize without causing hard feelings between him and Ruth. Once he thought of giving up working for the prize and let Ruth take the best chance of winning it but finally he decided that that would not be the best' thing to do, so he kept on working on his essay. His essay was about the causes and results of the war. The more he thought of enmity between him and Ruth the more he determined to remedy it if he could. Two days before the prize was to be given out, Ruth was walking down the street after school, deep in her own thoughts, when she heard her name called behind her. She turned and to her surprise 'she saw james hurrying to catch her. X'X7lien he came up to her and they were walking on he said, Ruth, I think we have been foolish to fight over the honor of the highest place, don't you think so? For my part, I am sorry I ever acted so. Let us be friends and forget it all. This contest has made me think about it a great deal, and I have come to that conclusion. Ruth answered him with a smile but her eyes were glistening as she said, Yes, I have thought so for a long time but I guess I was too much of :I coward to say so. The two walked on in silence until they reached Ruth's home. As she turned in at the walk leading to the house she said, Oh, I feel so much letter since that load is off of my mind. At last the time came for the name of the winner of the contest to be an- FORTY ONE to u avi oo, V 1 .QI'f3:r .9210 W nounced and the prize to be given out. The parents and friends were at the school house which had been decorated for the occasion, as there were to lac exercises preceding the giving of the prize. This was a great event in the eyes of the school. Looks of eagerness and expectation were on the faces of the pupil and a general atmosphere of tenseness prevailed and all eyes were turned upon the principal as he spoke a few words preliminary to the prc- sentation of the prize. Finally he said, It gives me great pleasure when I think how earnestly you have all worked on these essays and how gladly you responded when I called on you to take part in the contest. It is particularly pleasing to me to tell you that we have studied these essays carefully and have decided that Miss Ruth Blakely has won the prize with the essay on, XVhen the West Came East, and James Dawson a close second with the essay on the recent war. Miss Blakely will please come forward now and receive the prize of a ten dollar gold piece. As Ruth went forward the cries of Speech! Speech ! arose and she could hear james' deep voice above the rest. She faced the room and said in her sweet voice, I do indeed feel gratified that I have won this price. But I have also won another prize which I shall always value. That isg I have learned that there are other things just as good as the most conspicuous place in the affairs of the school.

Une of the events of the season, was the class party, held by the Sopho- mores of Plymouth High School, Thursday evening, March 20, 1919, at the C. B. L. of I. Hall. Mss Ida Galbreath, class adviser, assisted by Miss Gwendolen Reed and Miss Carol Scott were chaperons for the party. The class of 1921 is one of the very largest in the Historyfof Plymouth ,High School and a majority of its members were presentfto enjoy this social occasion. The evening was spent in playing games, varying from nursery lore, to the games of Ulden Times, embracing such plays as The Miller Boy, Wink,', Do you like your Neighbor, Going to jerusalem' and The Virginia Reel. Light refreshments, consisting of wafers and fruit punch, were served throughout the evening, and all present agreed that they had the time of their lives and would look forward to further enjoyment, of like nature, as they complete dtheir work in Plymouth High School. Meyer Lauer, president of the class, together with the other officers and those serving on the various committees deserve much credit for the splendid evening. FORT V EI GIIT l..3pwX!

S.'s, and composing four tribes. Freshman, Sophomores, juniors and Seniors. These tribes are mi- gratory in their habits and seldom dwell in one place longer than four years. They' live in the manner of cliff dwellers for the country is rugged and abounding in steppes. Although the government of the P. H. S. is a mon- archy, with a king at its head, the spirit of the people is distinctly democratic. Early in September 1918, vast hordes of strange people of different origin, but all green in color, commenced to pour into this region, driving before them the former occupants. These united to form a tribe known as Freshman. ' During the year 1918-19 the four tribes were governed by Emperor .los- cnhans, a stern, sober, dignitied and wise warrior. He was a man of wide interests and under him the various organizations of the empire grew and flourished. The Freshman tribe was put under the control of the Right Hon. H. F. Grossman, who was chosen for his gentlemanly UQ qualities, rather than for his learning. Under his able direction, the tribe successfully plowed through the first year. g Wfhen the nation was established, the rulers decreed that brain labor should be the chief occupation of the tribes. Many a time did the Freshman rebel against this in vain. Consequently, much time was spent in reading and writing with white sticks on walls painted black, and in examining queer liquids from which arose unpleasant odors. Stern discipline was main- tained and the pupils amused themselves by writing on small strips of paper which they threw at each other, and by talking and laughing silently, without good reason. But. on the whole. the Freshman tribe did good work. fAsk the Fm- peror and find out for yourself if you do not believe itj. They have adopted a resolution, not merely to pass or Hunk- as the other tribes have done, but to make a name for themelves-for '22. CHARLES BROGKE, '22.

There were a large number of visitors present as well as the members of the lligh School, Each person trying out had prepared his speech without considering team work. The various classes were well represented. ln all there were eleven trying out. Roy linglish, Kenneth Lackey, Rieta Zellner, Mildred Lemert,Cleatus Hahn, and Flora Davis-Seniors: XVarren lleestand, George Stevens, Trella Davis and Hulda Beylerghluniorsg and lloward Grossman --Freshman. The first debate was to be Feb.28. but the time was extended at the request of one of the schools. Because of this extention of time XVarren Heestand was forced to withdraw from the team. Our teams were finally made up of Howard Grossman, 'l'rella Davis, Kenneth Lackey, and Flora Davis alternate-Atlirmative, and Cleatus Hahn, George Stevens, Rieta Zehner and Mildred Lemert alternate-Negative. Elkhart and Michigan City withdrew from the debate. The l'lymouth Atlirmative met and defeated Mishawaka Negative at Mishawaka March 21, 1919, with a vote of 3 to 0. La Porte Aflirmative defated the Plymouth Negative at l'lymouth with the same vote.

After giving up the joys of the junior-Senior Banquet held the same night tlVlay 95, our orator and our representative in declarnation went to Michigan' Cfity and were awarded lirst place in declamation and second in oratory. From all reports Rieta surpassed herself, winning the unanimous decision of the judges. One of them even made the comment, ln six months l could mak a finished Chautauqua speaker of that girl. Both of our representatives are now eligible for the Northern Indiana Oratorical and Ueclamation Contest, to be held May l7. As the Mayflower goes to press before that time an account of the latter contest is impossible. VVe predict a clean sweep. Every thing looks favorable for it now.

Vcifxzr Q06 Synopsis 'U- ACT I. STOLEN FRUIT. Early Morning in August. While Rose was alone in the Standish kitchen Garrett Foster jumped through the window with an armload of green corn which he had stolen from a field. He was being pursued and begged of Rose to hide him. She refused to hide him, but when he had concealed himself and John Margeson appeared on the scene, she sent Marge- son on the wrong trail. Later she helped Garrett hide behind the settle while the family had breakfast. However he finally made himself known and Miles Standish because Rose begged for clemency for young Foster, sentenced Rose to roast the corn and Foster to eat it. At the end of Act 1 it is apparent that Rose and Garrett are in love with each other. ACT II. A MAID'S TOYS. Afternoon in October. At the opening, Barbara Standish urged Miles to have Garrett Foster go to his own colony, at Wessagussett as she saw that he and Rose were becoming fond of each other. There was a nutting party and Garrett told Rose he had permission to settle in Plymouth, and he asked her to marry him. She in a mad spirit of coquetry and pique refused to give him a definite answer and flirted madly with John Margeson, whom she had sworn to lead a merry dance to punish for his neglect of Miriam. Fin- ally the men came to blows and the coward Margeson was compelled to fight a duel with Foster. Margeson was slightly wounded, also Philip who had attempted to interfere. Miles Standish appeared while the duel was in progress and promptly banished Foster from the colony. Before they fought Rose declared she would kiss the better man. ACT III. THE RED LIGHT ON THE SNOW. Night in March. Miriam has learned that the loyal love of the gentle Philip is better than that of the selfish John Margeson. In the third act the bashful lover with some assistance from Miriam mustered up courage to tell her of his love. Philip came home from an expedition to Manomet bringing Rose a letter from'Garrett. He had heard she was to marry Margeson and he wrote to tell her he was going to England. Rose was in a frenzy of indignation and resolved to marry Margeson for spite. Just after she ,had pledged herself to John, a pledge considered altogether binding among the Puri- itans, Garrett appeared on the scene. He was ill and spent by a terrible journey lthrough the snow to warn Plymouth of an impending attack by Indians. Because he had broken his edict of banishment, John tried to imprison him, but Standish, because .of Rose's pleadings, paroled him in his cottage. Miriam saw the red light on the snow which presaged the Indian attack. ACT IV. THE BETTER MAN. Next afternoon. An Indian attack was in progress. Rose and Aunt Resolute were at the block house. Barbara was loading muskets. Miriam was beside herself with terror. Garrett Foster bethought himself of the broken place in the stockade where he got through the night before. He wore an old coat, picked up and given to him by Philip and it proved to be an old cast-off red coat of Margenson's. Garrett defended that place by himself till the attack was repulsed, while the cowardly Margeson hid in the cellar of the block house. Standish saw the red coat of the brave defender and in the flurry of the snow storm mistook the man for John Margeson. Standish came to the house and commended John for his brave defense. Rose thought she could better bear to marry him. While talking to Garrett she found that his arm had a fresh wound and in that way she discovered that he and not Margeson had saved the settle- ment. Therefore she felt justified in breaking her troth with John and in giving her- helf to Garrett Foster the man she loved because long ago she had sworn to kiss the better man.

S. Although the team did not win as large a per- centage of the games played as in former years, they played stronger teams and dropped several weaker schools from the schedule. Coach Crook called the first practice in September and with l'ifer, tiarn and Hahn as a nucleus, soon had a squad organized and practice well under way when school was closed because of the Flu. About the first of Novem- ber practice was resumed and a promising bunch of players developed. Be- fore the first game Hoover came to the front as guard and played that posi- tion in every game. V1i2ll'lIlCl', Robertson, Jones, Richeson and Baske also showed up well and played in several games. The team for the first time in several years defeated Rochester. Other good victories were over lVanatah, Culver, Mishawaka, and Laporte. The games with Nappanee, Valparaiso and Argos were exciting and altho we didnyt win, the team put up a good fight.

Capt. 1'ifer and flarn did the major part of the scoring, l ifer making 211 points and fiarn 187.

This was some- thing of a disappointment as everyone was expecting a new record. The other surprise which was not so great was when 'lones copped third in thc high jump. Good for Charles! Our old dependalmles, l'ifer and tloodman each took a lirst in their re- spective races, the half-mile and mile. In spite of the high wind with which they had to compete, hoth made last time and will make strong laids for the State Meet.

Culver would have made the Meet more interesting but would not have inllueneed the result to a very great extnt. In spite of the lack of good opposition, Goodman and Hoover broke two records, Ciooclman running the mile in 4:55 and' Hoover in the shot put with a record of 43 feet S l-4 inches to his credit. l'ifer and Ciarn won Hrst and see- ond individual honors, respectively. llahn and liicheson made a good showing,'and although Baske, Pfeiffer, Sauters, Tanner.

XVe1l I do and if you will promise not to breathe it to a single soul I will tell you. It was the peace celebration. You say that did not happen until the eleventh? I think that it is very unmannerly to question the statement of your elders but this one time I will demonstrate this fact to your full satisfactions' It seemed that the classes were more sleepy and drowsy than usual and that like so many other days, this Fall day was consigned to obscurity and neglect. Then all at once the fire whistle began to blow. This did not create very much excitement at first as it was thought to be just a common fire but anything was worthy of our attention if it would only break that un- bearable monotony. But the whistle began blowing in a very unna- tural way and someone conceiving a very brilliant idea suggested Peace.l' The pupils did not lose any time in reaching the windows as though they expected to see. an animated Peace floating around in the air. Then the rest of the pupils came pouring in from the class-rooms and disorder reigned supreme, The faculty tried to calm the excitement but in this they failed very sadly. Then the demand for a more public demonstration began to be heard and it became so insistent that the teachers Finally agreed to it. The High School formed a line with the flag at the head and was followed by the grades. W'e marched to Michigan Street in single file and then started a snake dance through the business part of town. XVhen we reached Garro Street we circled around the post there and, led by Mr. Steinebach, sang The Star Spangled Banner and An1erica. Wie then resumed the snake dance and it certainly was a pretty sight to see the street full of children, weaving back and forth. VVQ went in single tile back to the school house for the last hour classes. But of course excitement was too great for any real work to be accomplished and the talk in the classes was more about peace than about t11e lessons. Although the armistice was not signed until four days later most High School students will look back to November the sev- cnth as the big day instead of the eleventh when the real celebration took place.

We put in our time there helping to build railroads until February 11, 1918, when we left for the Champagne front. Our battery had two three-hundred and twenty centimeter guns tabout 12.5 inchesi. These were to stand off the German Big Berthasf' We left for the front in the morning and were penned into box cars to travel the t.hree days necessary to get there. The pet name for the box cars was Side Door Pullmansf' ln each car was packed fifty, husky Americans and their heavy packs. There wasn't standing room for over twenty-tive but we had to ride that way, whether we liked it or not. Eventually we arrived at a little town, called Hans but it was practically unoccupied owing to its proximity to the front. We took up our position about one mile from Hans. The next morning we pulled our guns into position and then had to wait three days before we were allowed to fire a shot. On the fourth day we started in at nine o'clock in the morning and fired three hundred rounds. It was all very exciting as most of us had never actually taken part in an engagement. Our firing lasted until 10 o'clock at night, when it ceased. Next morning they came back at us with a bunch of twelve and fourteen inch shells and things livened up considerably. However, they did not have our range correctly so no one was hurt. There was always the possibility tho, that they might get the correct range and then Good-night! This suffices to say that no one was entirely carefree. As luck would have it, we finally received orders to move and we sure did. In less than half an hour we were out of that particular hole and on our way. Before we got clear away we saw our old positions go up in smoke, noise and pieces. There wasn't even a straight rail left. flt might be well to say here that our battery was of the type, which was permanently attached to a flat car.l Orders changed again and we went to a new position about eight miles from Hans. Here we learned that the same night we left. Hans had been bombed, shelled and generally blown up. Hardly a building had been left standing. This was my first experience under fire and certainly would have been fatal to any one afflicted with a weak heart. Altho, perhaps, not the most exciting experience which we went thru it was the first, and that is what counts. I will just call it a sample and let it go at that. CECIL H. SISK. My experiences at the front are very different from most of thase that I have seen written in many papers. I never killed eight or nine Germans with my bayonet, or pulled any hero stuntsg of course l came close to getting killed or injured several times but there is nothing hair raising or stirring about them. A shell just dropped close and failed to explode or as in some cases exploded and covered me with dirt. In fact the thing that moved me most at the front was seeing several boys dig a hole under extremely hot shell fire, in order to give their sergeant who had just been killed a decent burial. This happened in our second position on the Chateau- Thierry front. We had just moved up the night before and located our guns in a little grove very close to the front line trenches. The Germans held a ridge about three-fourths of a mile in front of us from which they could look right down onto our position. As soon as we opened fire they got data on us. After we ceased fire we were all talking at the third piece, when the Germans started to drop their shells pretty close. Some of the boys got up and started to dig shelter trenches as we had no protection from shell fire. Wollery said: Well boys I guess I had better dig me a hole and started to walk toward the first piece, which he commanded when the Germans scored a direct hit on the position killing him and throwing dirt over the rest of us. His gun crew picked him up and after rolling him tenderly in one of his blankets carried him about a hundred yards behind the guns and started to dig a hole. The Germans kept shelling and it seemed to us that they were trying to keep him from being buried. The rest cf us sat around and cursed every time a shell dropped. Most of us wishing audibly that we only had the date on the --- dirty Germans. Just as they finished burying him, we received data on the German battery that had been firing on us. We jumped sevagely to the guns and gave them everyything we had. They didn't fire two rounds after we opened on them, but we fired on them until we were satisfied that they were totally demolished. After we were through firing, we cleaned our pieces and then dug ourselves shelter trenches. The way tl1e boys stuck through that intense shell fire, in order to give decent burial to a comrade, shows what the American soldiers would do for a comrade in need. WALTER A. WISE. SIXTY NINE .GK U .QM O0 QKNG v 2 35 Sin Memoriam affix Charles B. Reeves enlisted May 14, 1917. He went to Fort Benjamin Harrison and received his commission as lieu- tenant after a few months. He was sent to France where he was in training several weeks before going into the trenches. The first battle he took part in was the second battle of the Marne. A little later on, his was the first battalion that en- tered St. Mihiel. One month after the St. Mihiel drive he was made a Major Adjutant. October 3rd he went into the battle of Blancmont and was killed on the 7th of October. He was buried while the battle was still raging. Major Adjutant Charles Reeves was awarded the Distin- guished Service Cross fthe highest honor our country can be- stowy for extraordinary heroism in action near St. Etienne, France. Forest Falconbury enlisted in the Infantry, April 9, 1917. Sergeant Falconbury was killed in action on the 12th of Octo- ber, 1918, in the Argonne Forest battle. Clarence Seward went to the Great Lakes Naval Station on July 8, 1918. He died on the 26th of September, 1918 of Span- ish lnfluenza which developed into pneumonia. Lauren Sult went to Purdue for four years, studying to be a chemical engineer. He left Purdue to use his knowledge of chemicals for the government and began working in the Dupont Powder Mills. He was a manager in the plant at Perryville, Maryland, when he was taken ill with the influenza. The in- fluenza developed into pneumonia and he died in a hospital there on October 12, 1918.
